SPEAKER_00 0:20

We are back, episode number six. Seems like we've been doing this for like two weeks, but we're already at episode number six. Uh, first of all, like I always do, I want to thank all you listeners, all your followers, uh, for tuning in. Um, it's been a pretty special journey uh so far for the first five episodes. Uh really looking forward to this one and what the future holds. Like always, any feedback, any comments, any argument, any discussions, feel free, thefamybusiness.chat at gmail.com. Um really happy with a lot of the messages we've been getting. Uh, we might, if we have time, go through a couple, a couple um inquiries, I shall say, um, that we received over this past week. Um, but in the meantime, like I said, please send it out to your friends, family, two crazy Canadians who aren't afraid to speak their minds and and quite frankly, just say what most people are just afraid to say. That's the way I look at it. I'm surprised we're still on. Well, yeah. See, the thing is, is that it's kind of it's kind of like the copyright issue. Like, technically, like, even the intro that I did for this episode, all the previous episodes, and even the ending, technically, that is a copyright violation. The problem is that we're not big enough for them to even care. For them to look at us. And if eventually, if we get to the point where, yeah, we have sponsors and we have, you know, like over 100,000 viewers, then that's when they actually care. Right? That's when either they'll demand money for copyright or they'll just delete they'll they won't delete the episode, they'll just mute any section that is quote unquote copyrighted.

SPEAKER_01 2:14

So technically, if any Karen out there is mad at me and she really wants to get to me, uh, all she has to do is share the episode with a hundred thousand people, and then then we'll get in trouble.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

Technically, yeah. Okay, that's so I challenge Eddie Karen to get a hundred thousand views on this so that we get in trouble so that we get copyright infringed. But bring it up. But no, but it's not, it's not I remember there's a huge the hockey podcast I listened to, Spinning Chicklets. Uh, they started from scratch. They started from nothing. Now they're one of the world's most listened and most viewed podcasts, right? They actually just signed a deal with Netflix uh that every Monday, I believe Monday and Thursday, their episodes actually get streamed live on Netflix. Oh, there you go. Right. They're part of the whole Barstool uh agenda. Gotcha. Uh, but no, but they started with nothing, and they used to do what I did, what I'm doing here, is like every episode a different song, mixing up things that once you get to the point where you're big enough, you either have to make your own intro so it's not copyrighted, or get a band that quote unquote supports you that allows you to use their music. So we'll have to call Uncle Elton to convey something. Yeah, exactly. Or figure out who the writer of Spaceman is. There you go. And get some information. All right, well, we're gonna we're gonna kick things off. Uh, not a long episode for you guys today. Um obviously, you you are all aware that we do have a life outside of this podcast. And this past week, for not only my business, but also my dad's business, it has been a quite a busy one, which is not a bad thing, it's a good thing. Um, but we are, we promised that we committed to this. So, regardless of how busy we are, we are gonna make sure that we uh follow through with our episodes. So, right off the hop, let's stick with Canadian politics for a sec. Let me get your opinion on this. News around the world very quickly. Rapid fire. Doug Ford has reversed the purchase of a $28.9 million jet following public backlash. Did you know anything about that? Not a word. Nothing. Yeah, I had I had no idea. Uh I did see something on X about it, but apparently there was this huge uh some private jet purchase, and uh they apparently they did buy it, but there was so much backlash about the purchase of it, like where the funds were coming from, where the funds should have gone, that now they're actually just trying to flip it and sell it again.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

Well, I'm I'm uh I'm guilty of being a typical Canadian. When I watch these shorts, as soon as I come across Doug Ford, I just scroll past. I I could care less. Oh, why's that? I I just uh I I I don't know. I I just Ontario politics is so boring to me anyway, and um they're gonna do what they're gonna do, and it's not gonna make a difference. Not gonna make a difference. No.

SPEAKER_00 5:14

Uh not that you care about this necessarily, uh, because I know you're not really a huge Apple person in terms of uh company. Okay, but uh John Termas, Turnus, I believe it's Turnus, uh will be the official uh the official succeeder of uh Tim Cook, uh CEO of Apple.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

If you were to give me $100,000 and ask me who who is who are those people, I couldn't tell you.

SPEAKER_00 5:40

Oh, you you don't even know who Tim Cook is. No, no clue. Oh, okay. Tim Cook's the guy that took over, crap, what's the guy's name? Uh Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs. Okay, Steve Jobs I knew because. Yeah, so when Steve Jobs died, uh Tim Cook took over, and he's been the CEO of Apple ever since. Okay, is Wozniak still alive? I have no I've had no idea. Okay. But Tim Cook, so Tim Cook, he's transitioning to the role of executive chairman. So uh John Turnus uh will be the succeeder of Tim Cook. And finally, I want to get your opinion on this. To me, this is this is pure America. Okay. Okay? Like I think of America. Okay, you know what, before we move on, let's just let's play a quick game. Alright. We'll go back and forth. I'll go first, and then maybe you'll get a feel of what I'm trying to do, and then you'll jump in and and and join along, okay? Well, you think of America. Okay, okay? As a Canadian, what do you think of? Florida. Okay, so you think of Florida, okay? So let's go back and forth. One word answers, okay? Alright. America, this is one word, a couple words all eagle. Power.

SPEAKER_01 7:02

Freedom. Freedom. Life.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Okay, okay. Let me go let me go a little bit different different pattern here. Um trying to think. Let me think. Okay. Fat people. Buffet. Okay, okay. Now you're not playing off of me. Like you know you don't have to, you know what I mean? But this is what goes on to the colour. Okay, so just because you think you think of America. Cheap fast food. McDonald's. Okay. Seems like you're trying to bounce off me, but it doesn't have to be anything close to me. Okay. Okay, it's just what you think of. That's what I think of. Yeah, but you only think of things after I say something. You're you're you're I don't want you to be close to what I'm saying. Um, okay. Uh America, let's go in and out.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

In and out. Um now I'm drawing blanks. I guess this isn't working. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 8:06

You really have no idea what we're trying what I'm trying to do.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

It doesn't look like this is how scripted this is.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

So it that I just wanted you to think of anything of America. Ah, I see. But what I'm saying, you're you're comparing what I'm saying. Don't just because I say fast food, McDonald's. I mean, don't compare me.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

I thought you wanted answers.

SPEAKER_00 8:29

No, I just try this game again. All right, okay, America. All right, let's go freedom. Uh Arkansas. Perfect. Okay, exactly. Uh college football. Cheerleaders. Okay. That's kind of close. Uh let's go. Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Oh man. I've See, I I I I I'll just think of uh I'll just think of World Series, which is close, but you have okay, so you still don't got the point of the game.

SPEAKER_00 9:14

Anyways, let's move on. My whole point, the whole point of this, because if you said World Series, you're you're just bouncing off of me. Right. Which is not the game at all.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:25

This is where you're supposed to think on your own. My whole point in this is when you think of America, you think of, you know, you ask people, what do you think of America? You think of freedom, you think of guns, you think of Trump, you think of football, you think of, you know, cheerleaders, you think of all these things. But one thing that is very, very American to me is getting easily sued. Ah, that's true. Okay? Like you think about, oh, I'll sue you for I'll sue you for looking at me funny. Right. Okay. So what I was trying to do was we would go back and forth with things that we think of America, and then eventually I would have got to law easy lawsuits. Okay. You can indict a ham sandwich, I think. Basically. So going back, and we just wasted like 10 minutes, but going back, Cash Patel. Okay. We all know he's the FBI director, he has officially filed a $250 million lawsuit against the Atlantic, which is a news outlet, online news outlet, alleging the magazine published false claims about his conduct, including his excessive drinking problem.

SPEAKER_01 10:37

I I heard the story. Apparently, he's a raving alcoholic that the uh agents had to break down a door uh to get access to him, which is apparently all baloney.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

So where's the fine line between this is what I want to ask, where's the fine line between at the end of the day, you are a public figure, you work for the government, you work for the people, right? People are gonna say things about you all the time. That's just the reality of being in the position you're in. Do you think it's fair that he can sue people over that?

SPEAKER_01 11:20

Here's what I think. Yeah, because he's a public figure, they can uh they can criticize. They can um they might not like the people that he arrested. They're they're uh they're looking into the Catholic priests, whatever. But when you start individually um you know, talking baloney, saying that he's a raving alcoholic, saying that uh he can't do his job, you're you know, that that's a fine line that you know uh they're personally attacking him. And I think that um uh you know, uh again, and I'm just saying this as an example, uh I don't like, I don't like Justin Trudeau. I just I never liked when he was the leader. Right. I uh I respected his stepfather, Pierre, but I never liked Justin. But now, if I were to put a five-minute presentation and trying to convince the public, now remember, this is just an example, this is not the case, but I see Justin Trudeau is a pedophile. We have photos, we have incident reports, we have this, that, that he is a pedophile. Well, you know what? I better show you those damn reports because if not, I just I just slandered the living heck out of him.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

So that and that that's going too far. But is slander, okay? Like me, for example, I don't have a big following online, I don't have a platform, millions of people aren't reading my news article. They assume that's a good idea. So if I if if I said exactly what now, mind you, I'm not American, so I think the laws are a bit different, but let's say, let's say I was American and I said exactly what the athletics said. Okay? Okay. And if this was my current platform that I had, I wouldn't get sued. I can go and call Patel a loser, an alcoholic, uh, this and that, this and that. No. The reason he is getting sued to me the reason he is suing. Sorry, sorry, sorry. The reason the reason he is suing to me has got nothing to do with the actual content of what was said, but it was to how many people had access to what was said. And I I agree with it. You know what I mean? Sure. So, like, that's what I mean. Like, yeah, if if Okay, Justin Trudeau, I do believe that he touched little boys when he was the prime minister. I mean, whether that's true or not, cool. I can say that, I can have my opinion. I'm not gonna get canceled. But if I'm getting interviewed by CBC News and I decide to say that quickly off script, I might get in trouble for that. Right? And I probably should. So that's my point with the with this lawsuit, is to me, let's be honest. Cash Patel, I mean, I I personally like Cash Patel. I do. I I think he's a very strong character. He says it the way it is. No BS, no, doesn't put up with anything. I don't do you think he's actually offended at what was said? Do you think it actually ruined his day? No, I don't think so. But the point is that I think this that this lawsuit will set a good example. Because think about how much disinformation since COVID. Sorry, not since COVID. Since Trump was first elected, think about how much disinformation is out there. Stop, stop.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Trump only only brought it to light. But keep in mind, even before the days you were born, we only had three three uh main uh news sources and they would tell us what they wanted us to. News has been misinformation since day one. They have an agenda. When you have all the corporations own these uh news outlets, they they want us to believe that eggs are bad for you. They want us to believe that uh, you know, literally two plus two is five. And and you know, damn you if you don't believe it. So that's the way the system was, and Trump just turned the light on. That's what I believe.

SPEAKER_00 15:58

Well, Trump, and I also give a lot of credit to Elon.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

Oh, well, yeah, right, of course.

SPEAKER_00 16:04

But I mean, I lost my train of thought where I was going with that now, but but regardless, that's besides the point, there was so much disinformation, so many lies, to the point where I remember during the election or after the election, especially with the whole Russian hoax, that first the first time they try to go after Trump, there were so many things that CNN here's another that CNN lied about. Here's another one. Remember that photo, that famous photo they took about that hospital during COVID? How all the hospital was full, and there was and they found out later that was a photo from like 2012. Yeah. Right? I do remember that. And all these people do is they put out a little press statement at the bottom of the page apologizing for their mis for their mistakes. And a lot of the times, they don't even acknowledge the mistakes, they just delete the article. Or they'll keep the article on, knowing that it's a mistake because they know that the public is stupid and that they believe anything that is that is published. So what I'm trying to get at here, I know I'm I'm I'm rambling, is I think that this and it's happened already. There's been many lawsuits. Uh Trump has a law. Trump, uh, that Nick Nick Sandman. Yep. That with that whole thing about him being a Nazi and all that. And these news outlets, it's time to pay for your for your put for your crimes. And I don't mean crimes as an illegal, but time to pay for your mistakes. Like you're gonna you spread lies, you spread disinformation purposely. Right. Right? And you're naive if you think it's not true. I think this sets a good example, and I hope cash wins, because then people have to realize, hey, you can't just go up and make stuff up because you have a platform. People have gotta be accountable for it. Accountability, that's the that's the key word, accountability.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

And you know what? And uh of course, I I do too. I hope cash wins and and ruins these people because uh unless they can prove what they said, I mean you gotta be careful. I mean, uh you know, when I heard the story first, and I thought, like like John Q public, maybe that's why Bon Gino uh quit. Right. Maybe that's why maybe that's why this happened, or this is and your mind wanders. But if they have no proof, you can't say that. No, no, you know, and uh of course, and well, even uh what what's that guy from ABC, Geor uh George um uh his name, and Trump sued him? Because he said Trump's a rapist. Well, he's well he hasn't been convicted of that, right? And you can't you can't be, you know, you gotta be very careful. And uh once the news starts uh once there's the possibility of getting sued, they're gonna be very careful.

SPEAKER_00 19:01

Where do you get 250 million from, though? That's what I want to know. Where do you get that number?

SPEAKER_01 19:06

Oh, that's yeah, but they'll probably settle for like 15. You know what I'm saying? Right. But they have to um uh to to give it attention and all that. Because if uh if cash patel was suing them for five million, nobody'd even it probably wouldn't even wouldn't need the news. It's gotta be drastic.

SPEAKER_00 19:23

Yeah, that's true. Well, regardless, let's let's move on. Um all right. First of all, I want to make something very clear to our listeners, because I did receive an email about this. Um, at the end of the day, yes, we are more focused towards political things more than anything else, but religion is a big part of our family, and you know, whenever there's something that comes up in the realm of, you know, especially Christianity, we're gonna talk about it. I mean, there's there's gonna be a couple episodes where, you know, I want to dive into some theology, right and wrong, stuff like that. Um, so if you're not a Christian, or if you have no desire for religion, I apologize, but I encourage you to listen and observe and buy in as a listener, buy in and just try to understand, you know, our angle we're coming from for these topics. I mean, we're gonna, I'm gonna, I'll be honest with you, there are many things that are happening today in the church that I'm not happy with, and I'll talk about it. And I would love to get your opinion as a non-Christian on it, you know, stuff like that. But so I I just I just wanted to say that. I just wanted to bring that up as a side note, just in case, you know, we I I know that some listeners aren't a fan when we talk religion, but to me, it's you don't have to be a fan or you don't have to be a Christian to understand it. Uh, it's just I would encourage you when we talk about religious stuff, I would encourage the lens that you're listening through um will dictate whether or not you actually enjoy the conversation. So, in saying that, there was a bit of an issue, which I don't think should have been an issue, but it was in a church in the States. I don't know where it is. I I I'm assuming it's somewhere down south. All right, let me let me let me set the stage for you, okay? I'm assuming, I'm assuming this is a mega church. No. It's not, okay. No, it's a well, mega to the definition of mega church. No, it's not, it's not like a Joel Olstein or uh Shuttlesworth or no. I believe this church is like 250, 300 people. Alright, so it's a young young younger pastor. He he probably I would say he's anywhere from 40 to 45. Alright. And uh his wife, obviously, you know, his wife goes to church and they do ministry together, they work together. So she was recording, and what she decided to do was write a little note. Now, she never revealed what the note was, but the term she used was spicy. Okay. Hold on. So she wrote a note, okay, and it was a spicy note, and what she did was she went to her husband's notebook notebook where he preaches out of.

SPEAKER_01 22:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 22:36

And she opened it and slid this note into his notebook. So the whole point is, the plan is that when he gets on stage Sunday morning, or that in a couple hours after she put the note in there, he would open it and he would read it before he preached. Fun, silly little, you know. But it was spicy, she said. But apparently it was spicy. Okay. Fair enough. So of course, I'm sure, because she did it for social media, she recorded it. I'm sure she told some of her church friends that hey, I put something in there. Let's see his reaction when he opens the binder or his notebook. Just like the people in the front row who was with her. Okay. Not the whole church knew about this. Okay. All right. Just like two or three people knew. So she was recording. He gets on stage, you know, good morning, church. This and this, opens his notebook. He looks and he starts to giggle and he laughs. Alright. And he says, Oh, I love my wife. She wrote me a note. I'm not going to share what's on there. That's between her and I. And, you know, he chuckles. She laughs. I would say majority of the congregation that heard or understood what he was saying laughed. So after service, she's recording. Oh, so he kept on with his message. Nothing happened. There was no distraction. It was just a little 10-second giggle, whatever, then he continued on. So the service wasn't ruined. No, no, nothing, nothing, nothing like that. Alright. So after the service, she's still recording, and she comes up to him, he gives her a kiss, whatever, and says, Oh, that was so funny. You're so funny, whatever. And then he's and then he's like, Do they know? And by they, he's referring to her social media audience. Yeah. Do they know what was on it? He's like, no, no, no, no. He's like, good, good. That's between you and me. That's only between you and me. You're so funny. And that was it. Cool. Very, I'm actually going to sit back for this. Very innocent, very healthy, makes you feel good, right? Like, you know, and the thing with the church is that they always say that if you want to see a healthy church, that the relationship with the pastor and his wife usually is healthy. If you see a church that's that's on the downslope or a church that's struggling, the first sign you look at is the relationship between the pastor and his wife. And ten times out of ten, a struggling church has a struggling marriage at the top of the podem. Oh, clearly. Okay. So you see something like this, and I've got to be honest, I saw that, I'm like, man, that's so cool. Like, regardless of, regardless of what it said, okay, it was between his wife and him. Okay. I understand he's a pastor, but I will I will say this too. Obviously, I'm I'm not married, I've never been in that position, but one thing I can say, being in his position, being in his position in terms of preaching, one thing I will say is that I guarantee you, if anything, that was one of his best sermons he ever preached. Because he got that little extra happiness, that little motive, a little motivation. Right. Right? Even if it was something, and I'm not saying he was motivated because maybe it was something, let's assume, let's assume it was something sexual. Okay? Nine times out of ten. Right. I'm not saying he was encouraged because of that. I'm saying he's encouraged because I love my wife. Yeah, but even if it was, it's his wife. Well, regardless, regardless. Okay. Right? Because I don't think you should be on the stage preaching thinking about sex. Well, right? Okay, I'm not sure. But the encouragement from his wife to feel good, if anything, that would that would motivate him. Then why is this why are we? Okay, well, the reason why I'm talking about this, so a couple days later, and you can tell, I really I I believe she was pressured in doing it. She ended up releasing an apology video. Why? So apparently, this this video that she posted online, okay, which I'll send to you, received a lot, a lot, a lot of hate. Okay by Christians. By Christians? Yes. Very, especially the very old school, like, oh, you desecrated the altar, and it's like, oh, you know, like he's a pastor, and you know, you shouldn't be doing stuff like that, and this, yada, yada, yada, whatever, whatever. I actually, believe it or not, I I I'm somebody, I stay away. I have social media, okay? Right. I don't post. Right? I don't post, I don't have photos of myself. I honestly, if it wasn't for sports, I would probably delete all social media. Okay. I never comment on things, especially controversial things. It's just not worth it. Okay? Okay. I had to, in this instance. There was this pastor. Oh, he said claims it was some bishop, some African bishop. So he says. So his name title was. He commented and said something, and he basically it was like, you know, how, how, I'm gonna I'm gonna pull it up as I speak. How dare you, you know, um bring that demonic, you know, whatever spirit of this and that into the church, and yada yada yada, and and this and that, and okay, so here's the video. Hold on, let me let me read some of these comments here. Okay, I'm just gonna scroll through and read these comments, alright? Okay. No reverence for the holy God. That's why the Protestant church is a mess today. Oh, jeez. Uh, but then you get some good ones. So awesome. This is how a husband and wife should treat each other, desire each other, healthy, happy, blessed, and a great example of what marriage should be. Anyone offended by this doesn't understand marriage or the Bible. That's what I would have written. Uh, someone put, God will not be mocked. Anywhere else, this would be fine, but when you're in God's house, this seems disrespectful. That's crazy. It's insane how many people in his comments see no issue with this. So I'm insane because I see no issue with it. No reverence for God's holiness. Hallowed be thy name. It's got nothing to do with God's holiness. Yeah. So diabolical, someone put. Oh my goodness. Anyway, so there is a whole couple this is a completely inappropriate timing. This time it has to be set aside, prepared for in many uh that time is to be set aside, prepared for in many ways, as corporate meaning and worship of the only God who is holy, holy, holy.

SPEAKER_01 30:07

But the scripture says, husbands, love your wives like Christ loved the church. Be prepared to die for her.

SPEAKER_00 30:14

Someone put, would it be okay if he was preaching through Psalms of Solomon? Anyway, so she she posted this huge thing apologizing. See, that now I'm mad at her for apologizing. So she you can tell in the video, I'll send it to you. Okay. And then oh, sorry, no, before I before I type with apology video. So somebody commented, and and like I said, I never, I never respond, okay, okay to anybody. But I almost felt like I had no choice in this case. Okay. Alright, so you so you did respond. I ended up saying something, okay, which ended up getting a lot of a lot of likes. So what exactly did you just say? I forget, I can't find what I responded to. But I just responded, it was to this African bishop or whatever he pretends to be. And he he basically attacked her and said that this is not godliness, this is a blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, whatever, whatever. So all I did was I said, sir, you are the problem with Christianity today. That's all I said. That's it. That's all I said. Okay. And you should see, I never got attacked or anything, I don't care. Yeah, but thousands and thousands and thousands of likes online from just my one comment. Well, because it's true. I mean, oh my goodness. But why so so she apologized, and you can tell, you can tell in the video that she didn't want to. I think the sense that I'm getting is that she did not want to apologize. She shouldn't have. Because she even said it's a shame. As she's apologizing, she said, it's a shame that it seems like the Christians are the ones who have an issue with this, and the non-Christians are the ones who enjoy this. Yeah. Right? So she was saying, it's my husband, it was done with the right intentions, it wasn't anything super negative or something that would have fully distracted him from preaching. You know, like she says, I think this is a perfect example of how, you know, Christians, why we get treated the way we get treated, or why people think the way we are, is because this is a good example. So she basically apologized, but then in the meantime, she was kind of throwing shade at these Christian people, which I agree with, right? Like, how can non-Christians not see a problem with this? But Christians do. You know, like it's it's can I respond? Go for it.

SPEAKER_01 33:04

Oh, where this if you if you give me three hours, I might get it done. But listen, the the problem in society is marriage. What what's the statistic? Like one in every three couples.

SPEAKER_00 33:20

One out of three so so there there you go. More than 50% of people who get married every year will be divorced. Will be divorced, okay.

SPEAKER_01 33:29

Does that not sound like an epidemic to you? See, now here's the thing. And and again, I've been married for let's say pushing uh 40 years, and and here, and here's the thing where a lot of married see, married women might not know this. And if you're listening, and if you have a husband, clearly I'm talking to the ladies, you know, do that. Send your husband a note. Set tell him, you know, just out of the blue, tell him that I love you, I think you're awesome. See, the thing is this men and women are different creatures. Okay, we're totally different creatures, and I don't care what you can take a book and say men and women are this. No, we're totally different. My wife wants flowers and candies, and uh, and for me to tell her how beautiful she is, and that that that's fine. That's what she wants. Me, I could give a rat's deriar if uh my wife loves me or not. I don't care, but I do care that she respects me, and if she takes the time to give me a note, like if she like my wife doesn't make me lunch, but if she made me lunch, actually, she used to, and she would put a little note in saying, Love you, have a great day, that makes my day. Go to your husband's and tell them out of the blue, when they don't expect it, hey, I'm proud of you, I'm glad you're my husband, I think you're awesome. That will make his day guarantee. Ask me how I know. And when you stop, uh like put it this way, uh, and I would tell uh tell my sons if every woman on the planet wanted me, but your mother didn't, it wouldn't be worth anything. Time magazine can put me on the cover and say, sexiest man alive. But if my wife didn't think that, it's all for nothing.

SPEAKER_00 35:33

But I think I think let me just really reel it back things a little bit. I think you're going a little bit off.

SPEAKER_01 35:38

No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 35:38

No, hold on, but the whole point, but the whole point isn't about their marriage, the whole point is the time and place of it.

SPEAKER_01 35:46

You know what? He's still he's still the husband, and and what she did was she encouraged him. She listen, these pastors, okay, they get so much pressure from from uh you know uh parishioners that are struggling and all that, and single ladies that and they end up in trouble.

SPEAKER_00 36:07

Right.

SPEAKER_01 36:07

So no, I I I I totally reject that. I think that was a good thing that she did. It's healthy. Yeah, you know what? I wish your mom would give me more notes like that. That would be awesome. So that that that's a crock of crap.

SPEAKER_00 36:25

Yeah, the big the biggest argument against this whole thing was time and place. No. That at the end of the day, uh, once you enter the church, he is your pastor. He is not your husband. Um I'll I'll give you that. Alright. But what I will say, and the reason why, the main reason I enjoyed this video, this I'll tell you this. If I was if I lived around that area, and I kind of want to find out who and what church it is instead of denomination and all that, if I if I lived in that area, to be honest with you, that would make me want to attend this church. Yeah, that's right. Because no, but you see that, you see the happiness, you see how it's healthy. Yeah. You know, and I know if you're if you don't go to church or understand, you won't, it won't make sense to you, but there's so much division in the church then. There's so much unrest, so much you know, distractions. And you just to see something like that, like this sounds cheesy, but it's it's it's it's heartwarming. You know?

SPEAKER_01 37:31

It's not even cheesy.

SPEAKER_00 37:33

It's it's not it's not regardless of what it was, you know, it's to me, I would look at that as wow, my pastor and his and my pastor and the and the wife have a really good relationship and it's healthy and they're strong and they're into each other, that would motivate anybody. You know, instead of having a pastor who hates his wife or his wife doesn't attend church all the time.

SPEAKER_01 37:58

Or just yeah, you know what I mean? So but you see, and here's the thing. Okay, so I I haven't seen the video. You'll show me the video. But he he smiled.

SPEAKER_00 38:10

Yeah, he gave a little smirk. Give a little smirk. Okay and then he even said to the audience, he's like, Oh, I just uh received a note from my wife. I can't unfortunately I can't read what it says, but uh but I uh I love you or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 38:23

And then that's it, and he moved on. So it's not like, okay, so you make sure those high heels are ready later in the world. Right. Right. So so I mean, people, give it a rest already.

unknown 38:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:34

And I'm talking to churches. Like, seriously, guys. That's that I I'm even surprised this is a story. And and the fact that she apologized, shame on you. You shouldn't have apologized.

SPEAKER_00 38:47

I I feel like she was pressured.

SPEAKER_01 38:49

Oh, 100%.

SPEAKER_00 38:51

Right.

SPEAKER_01 38:51

But you know what? Uh I would respect her more if she says, no, screw you. I gave my I gave my husband a message and I'll do it again.

SPEAKER_00 39:00

Yeah. But that's where church politics come in. That's where Exactly. So screw them. Yeah, but okay, fine, fine. Okay. Let me let me let me play the devil's advocate. All right. Screw it, it's fine. You're fired. See you later. Now what? Then you shouldn't be there. Nah. Over that? You know what? E uh okay, sure, but very easy to say. But you know, you don't know their financial situation. They've got bills, they have kids, they have and a board. I don't know. But yeah, no, I just thought I just thought that that was something I would bring up. And to me, to me, it's stupid.

SPEAKER_01 39:38

If your mother is listening to this, she is free to send me any message anytime.

SPEAKER_00 39:44

Yeah. Um, depending on time. This might be where last thing we talk about today. All right. But uh, did you see what happened in Louisiana? In Louisiana. Today.

SPEAKER_01 40:00

Uh, I think. Uh is it about a guy that killed a bunch of people? Yeah. Yeah. You know why isn't it not front news?

SPEAKER_00 40:09

Well, it's front news now. It is now. It's all over the news. It's all over CNN, all over Fox, all over everything. Okay, when did this happen? Today. Today.

SPEAKER_01 40:19

Okay, because I thought. Oh, okay, sorry.

SPEAKER_00 40:21

Then I'm uh this article contains discernment. So this article was released at it was published at 6 a.m. Oh, okay. And it was updated at 3.46 p.m. Today.

SPEAKER_01 40:36

I think I know where you're going with this, but let me let me just say this. The the anti-gun advocates are not gonna be freaking out on this one, aren't they?

SPEAKER_00 40:45

Oh, yeah, I I see what you're I know why you said that. Yeah. Okay. Although the only thing I would say about that is the fact that it involves a lot of children might be different. So, long story short, I was gonna paraphrase this. Uh, I was at first I was gonna read the whole article, but uh basically uh this couple, and yes, I'm gonna say this because yes, it does matter, uh black couple. Okay, um, they were talking about separating for a while. Okay. All right. He was clearly against it. He didn't want to separate from his wife. They have eight children, or I don't know how many children they have, but long story short, uh the shooter, his name was Shamar Elkins. Okay. Um, ended up killing seven of his own children and then another child. And his wife, who they were about to separate, was shot and was wounded at the same time obviously because she was shot. Uh, I am gonna read a little bit here. His wife's sister, who called police minutes after the shooting uh started, escaped with the child by jumping from the roof. Police and family members said on Monday. Elkins died after, so the shooter died after fleeing in a police pursuit that ended with officers firing on him. It was not clear whether he was killed by officers or from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Uh officials said the children who died, three boys and five girls, ranged in age from three to eleven years old. Uh Elkins and his wife identified by family members as as Chenequa Elkins were separated and have been due in court on Monday. So they were due in court today. Gotcha. Uh this is this is according to Crystal Brown, the cousin of the woman. Uh, she said a couple of an argument about the separation before the shooting. Uh apparently this mother, Shaniqua Elkins, they described her as she celebrated all her children's successes in school, carefully dressed them before family events. Everyone said she was one of those that raised their children right. Uh, they were the center of your universe. I like what uh where where do you go with this?

SPEAKER_01 43:12

Well, clearly uh the mother was um he he wanted to hurt the mother. He he went loony and killed the kids. Cases case is closed, really.

SPEAKER_00 43:24

Well imagine that.

SPEAKER_01 43:29

That that's one thing uh that nature has not prepared humans for is when a parent buries a child. That's just not that's just not right. Right in this way. And and what he did is he flipped out. So you know, the innocent children die because the mother was taking him off. You know, it it's and and you see, and and of course I I'm gonna this is gonna get a lot of backlash, but if it was a white guy that did this It'd be uh and then the gun advocates would be all over this. We have to stop, we have to stop with the guns, the new laws, this and that. That's what I think, anyway.

SPEAKER_00 44:11

I could be wrong. Well, I'm just gonna read this section here. The gunman gunman had no recent arrest for domestic violence, police say. While the shooter did not appear to have an extensive criminal history, court records show Elkins was placed on probation in 2019 after pleading guilty to illegal use of weapons. Oh, well, there you go. In that case, Elkins fired five rounds at a vehicle and told police that someone inside it had pulled a gun on him, according to a police report. Oh boy. Based on Louisiana law, a person convicted of certain violent felonies, including illegal use of a weapon, are banned from having a gun for at least 10 years after completing their sentence and probation. Oh, okay. Authorities said Monday that how and when Elkins got the gun is being investigated. Louisiana reliably, and here we go, this is where this is where it comes in. Louisiana, a reliably red state, has expanded access to guns in recent years. For years, Democrats in Louisiana have proposed bills to tighten gun control or at least put red flag measures in place. But Republicans have routinely blocked such legislation. Here's the thing. We talked about this, I believe, last week. Gun laws, gun bans won't stop criminals from getting guns and killing people. 100%. Why are Democrats so stupid? You know why? Realizing that. Because they're stupid. That's why. Let me let me you everyone knows the answer to this, but just so that our stupid listeners can understand this. All right. What is the what is the number one state in America that has the strictest gun laws? As of right now, as of right now. Illinois. Okay. What is the number one city that has the most gun crime in it in America? It's Chicago. And what state is Chicago in? It's in the state of Illinois. It's in the state of Illinois. What is gun gun control gun laws gonna do? See, and the thing, the thing that people don't realize is in a lot of these quote-unquote red states, because it's gotta be political when it comes to guns, there are more stories about gun laws protecting people, protecting mass shootings, than actual mass shootings, but they don't report on that. Well, it's not their narrative. 100%. That's my exactly. So, like, and this is the reason I brought this article up. I mean, not to say I don't care, but a crazy father goes and shoots his destroys his whole family. Right. You're an idiot. I don't even want to acknowledge you or acknowledge your name, you know. But the whole point is, okay, if Louisiana had strict gun laws, you're telling me this would not have happened? 100% it would have happened. 100% it would have happened. Regardless. Yeah. So explain to me. Okay, let me let me let me ask you this. I mean, I'm assuming I'm going to speak on your behalf. I mean, I'm a firm supporter of the NRA. Okay. I believe in in the ability of the right to own a gun, as much as I do the right and ability to not own to be uh uh to be what's the word I'm looking for that you're not legally allowed to have a gun as well. If if you if you screw up, if you're a criminal, you should not be have the right to have a gun. Sorry. Right? Restrictions. Restrictions. Thank you, that's the word, restrictions. So what do we do? Because regardless of if you're for guns or against guns, this has to stop. Eight children are now dead.

SPEAKER_01 47:57

Right? Yeah, but you know what? Even if even if he had all the restrictions, even if they cut off his pinky finger to show any gun lobbyist or any gun store that, oh, you're missing your pinky, that means you can't buy a gun. He still would get guns. He would still the black market this you know, they should start they should start throwing the book at the guys that deal with illegal guns. It's just like drugs, it's illegal.

SPEAKER_00 48:30

Do I believe in restoration? Sure. Do I believe that criminals can spend time in prison and come out and be a new person? 100%. You hear stories about it all the time. Statistically speaking. Alright. Okay. Statistically speaking, uh, 73% of criminals who serve time and come out will commit another crime. Okay. My issue isn't gun control. It isn't it isn't um, you know, the gun laws or whatever. My issue is I believe there's a lack of rehabilitation in the jail systems. The fact that you can release somebody from serving 10 years in jail and then come out and commit the exact same crime again. Because at the end of the day, if there's no solution, then you know what? You commit a crime, dead, done. See you later. Yeah. What are you gonna do? That's right. What what other what what other avenue? What other whatever there's no other options, right? There's no other option.

SPEAKER_01 49:40

Uh you know what? If you're if you're convicted of a felony, you can't have a gun. That's it. That's not gonna stop them from getting a gun. No, I understand that. And that's why. Because it's not gonna stop them from getting guns, good citizens should have guns. True. Now, exactly. People seem to forget. Like I I heard uh I heard this on a on a TikTok short or something. Well, we don't need guns in society because we don't hunt anymore and all that stuff. And and these Canon believe that. But the reason we have guns is so the liberals, if they pass stupid laws or something, we can protect ourselves. Right. I mean, that's that, but this is Canada, so I I I'm not familiar with the Canadian, but the Americans, they have guns. So if their government gets out of uh out of shape and they start trying to pass laws, uh no, no, no. You're not gonna push us around. That's why they had the Second Amendment. Right. And people forget that. It's so the government does not become tyrannical. Period. That's why we have these rights. That's why we have you know you know, uh the right to bear arms. 100%. So if uh if you you know it's a good movie to watch, is Red Dawn. Red Dawn, why does that sound familiar? That's well, they did it back in 80 f 83 or 84, and then they did it again. That's when um when the um uh America was uh was infiltrated, I think uh it was by the Russians in the 80s. Now I think.

SPEAKER_00 51:26

Oh, I'm thinking of I'm thinking of the zombie one.

SPEAKER_01 51:30

No, no, no. This is a this is an army movie. And if the Americans, when they when they I think it was in the southern states, they uh they infiltrated the uh the Soviets at the time, infiltrated, and they started uh attacking towns, the town folks had guns.

SPEAKER_00 51:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:49

So they they they held their own until the army arrived.

SPEAKER_00 51:52

I I don't know, I don't know if you've seen videos of I don't kind of cut you off there. Uh if you've seen videos, but now there's this company, right? Because you see a lot of shootings, especially in the church, right? Okay. So there's this company that you can actually hire that they will come in and they will teach you what to do when a gunman comes in.

unknown 52:14

Good.

SPEAKER_00 52:15

So they have like the board members, and this is these are all these are only an open and carry laws, uh states, right? So like they have videos, you should look at you should look at the shorts, right? Yeah, they have these videos of uh of these board members and these pastors. Gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun. And once, and as soon as they hear gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, they know exactly what to do. Where you go, where I go, what what angle you have, and they're all with their guns, with their pistols, all knowing what to do. I think that's smart. You know, um, I'll just say his name because I'm not gonna care. But um, Jonathan Shuttlesworth, he's a pastor in uh Pittsburgh, okay, he actually said that if you're a mega church or you're a big church, you have to have a plan. Sure. You have to have a plan of action, you know. Like you can't be a church. He didn't say this part, but he's he the the plan part he did. But what I'm saying is I don't think you can have a church with over 200, 300 people and not have some sort of security or at least a plan in case something happens. Well, let me ask you this. Do they have an insurance policy? I'm sure every state's different.

SPEAKER_01 53:31

Okay, but fire insurance. Oh, okay, sure. Of course. I mean, you would have to. You have to. You would have to. So in something like this, knowing there's psychos out there, right? You have to protect yourself and the parishioners. Sure, why not?

SPEAKER_00 53:46

Yeah. Yeah. Without I'm I'm gonna try to say this without giving too much away, but even like to this day, I I still argue with with with mom about a lot of stuff about this because you know, people, you know, and Christians, they go on the streets, they like to preach and share the gospel, which is cool. But if you're a group of like four or five people on the streets sharing the gospel, that's fine. But I always I always yelled at her and said, hey, if you guys want to do that, you and your friends want to do that, that's cool. But you have to have measures. Yeah. Like the fact that like whenever she does go out with with with her friends and then the and she talks about Jesus, like you should have somebody within 10 to 15 feet away that no one knows is with you as protection. Right, right. You know, like that's why I I hate when she goes out on the streets now. It's it's yeah, but it's not about faith. It's about you know, God also gave you a brain to use. Right. It's common sense knowledge, you know. Like, you know, it's this is not America, I understand that. So like I can't, I can't just I can't just stand 15 feet away with a gun in my pocket, no, because then I'm gonna get arrested. Right? But I could stand 10 to 15 feet away just sitting down and watching, and if something confrontation happens, yeah, I can throw down. You can step in, right? You know, but but yeah, no, it's it's it's it's it's it's a crazy world.

SPEAKER_01 55:17

Oh man, but still, you still got eight dead kids or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 55:21

That's eight dead kids, yeah. The mother like my I'm I'm assuming the mother's well, she's in she's wounded. Well, she's dead already. Oh, inside. Inside, so losing seven out of your eight children. Wow, that's yeah, and the psychopath didn't want to separate. And I think, I mean, obviously we'll never know the truth because he's dead, but I think you said it right. He wanted to hurt her in the worst way. Because you can kill her, then what does that do? But you see, and be Because I I I'm not sorry, I'm not a mother, so I would not know, but one could assume, you know what? She would probably rather be dead than be living with the loss of seven of her children.

SPEAKER_01 56:02

Oh, as a parent, I'll tell you the same. Right. Yeah, definitely. I would die before any of my children. Uh wow, that that's that's tragic. That's yeah.

SPEAKER_00 56:13

That that is sad. I'm sure, you know what, because this just happened today. So let's sit on this story for the for the next couple of days. And if there's anything more to talk about it, then we'll we'll bring it up, we'll bring it up next week. And also, we are gonna close here, but what I do want to say, and this is something that is gonna probably lead into next episode, just because of timing and the time of day, the ceasefire with Iran officially ends this Wednesday. Oh, okay. Right? So the big thing um is uh Trump says ceasefire ends Wednesday evening, and a further extension is highly unlikely, according to uh reports. So reports are saying that apparently Iran is is gonna call Trump's bluff. And Trump is basically saying if you don't extend the ceasefire, uh we I'm gonna blow you up. So now we're getting to the point where he might have no choice. He might be a prideful person, like we talked about before. Yeah. So, but that's I think that's something I don't want to get too much into it now, but let's let things happen. See what happens. We have the story in Louisiana, we have the Trump, because by Wednesday, you know, I said this two episodes ago, there might not be an Iran next time we record.

SPEAKER_01 57:33

You know what I think? And you'll this is what I predict. I could be wrong, okay, and then we'll we'll we'll discuss it next week. He's gonna blow up a crap load of bridges, but I don't think he's gonna hit the uh the infrastructure. No, no, uh he will, they will, they will attack. Okay. If there's no if there's no C uh peace agreement, I'm thinking on the 11th hour. Because the the Iran Oh, I think I think there's gonna be a peace agreement. Yeah, because I I do too.

SPEAKER_00 58:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 58:02

But if there's not, and if there is an attack, he'll go after the bridges, but not the power plants.

SPEAKER_00 58:07

So you do you think there'll be so so honestly, so when when we talk about this next week, okay, will there be bombs or will there be an agreement? What's your honest opinion?

SPEAKER_01 58:19

My honest opinion? After everything that's happened to this point, I think there'll be an agreement.

SPEAKER_00 58:25

Okay. All right. Well, we'll see. We'll talk about next week. Uh, I do want to end, let's end on a happy mo. Right. Talking about dead shoulder and bombs. All we gotta do is bring up gay frogs, and we're we've and we've we've hit the list, hit the cycle. Um 1989. We always do 1986, but 1989 was the year that you got married. Right. Okay.
