The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from The First Edition of Would You Let Joe Biden"
"Good morning America. Good Monday. Some of you are getting up and getting out the door. I'm glad I am with you. I'm Hugh Hewitt in Studio North going down to the Beltway this week. Oh, back to the Beltway. Gotta go do my work. Gotta go do my job. I want you to begin this segment with me by reflecting on how bad can the polls actually get for one person. Because John Ellis, now you've heard me mention John. John has been on the show before. Ellis on items the site formerly known as Twitter, now known as X, he produces two sub stacks. News items, which I read every morning before I go on the air. That's where I learned about Amazon investing in AI this morning. And political items, which is a second sub stack. And that just collects all the political data. And for years and years and years, John Ellis was the man behind the curtain at News Corp. And he ran the decision desk when it actually ran well. And he ran many, many other things at News Corp. And he's a very, very smart guy. So Ellis puts out these two news sub stacks that I read. And one of them, political items, carries with it the additional benefit of sparing me from having to figure out which polls to read. Because every couple of weeks or three weeks, he puts out the polls in one place. So John Ellis knows polling. He knows which ones are trash. He does not send you the trash one. So I ignore all polls until I see a poll show up in the news items or political items. So polls in one place rolled in on Saturday morning. And I don't want to get sued for copyright. You should subscribe to polls in one place and political items. But John summarized three of these. Number one, NBC News. Three quarters of voters say they're concerned about President Joe Biden's age and mental fitness. Three quarters. Three quarters. Number two, Washington Post ABC News. A Washington Post ABC News poll finds President Biden struggling to gain approval from a skeptical public. With dissatisfaction growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, a rising share saying the United States is doing too much to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia, and broad concerns about his age as he seeks a second term. More than three in five Democrats say they would prefer a nominee other than Biden. And the Post ABC poll shows Joe Biden trailing Donald Trump by 10 points. Then number three, the New York Times. President Biden is underperforming among nonwhite voters in the New York Times Santa College national polls over the last year. And this result marked a — represent a, quote, marked deterioration in Mr. Biden's support among non -Anglo voters. Those are the three big polls of the weekend, and they're all related to Joe Biden's age. So I've asked Generalissimo to assist me in diagnosing the problem here. And so just a yes or no, are you with me, Generalissimo? No. All right, good. Would you let Joe Biden prepare dinner for eight people? No. Would you let Joe Biden do the shopping for a dinner for eight people? No. Would you let Joe Biden make your family's reservations for a week's vacation at Disney World? Oh, hell no.

Would you let Joe Biden pick the paint colors for your church or your school remodel? No. Would you let Joe Biden select the menu for your daughter's wedding? No. Would you let Joe Biden lead a group of second graders through the Smithsonian Natural History? Stop, stop. I gotta... No. Just stay in the lane, please. I just want to know. These are just questions. Would you let Joe Biden lead a second grade group through the Smithsonian? Would you let him lead a high school group through the Smithsonian? Would you drop him off in front of an NFL stadium, give him a ticket, and tell him you'll see him in the seats? I don't think so. Would you let him be the president of a state university? Oh, no. Would you let him be the president of a private liberal arts college? No. Would you let him run a large public high school? No. How about a small private high school? How about a junior high school? Nowhere near kids, no. How about an elementary school? Absolutely not. A preschool? Absolutely not. Would you let Joe Biden run a 7 -Eleven? No, he doesn't have the right accent. Would you let Joe Biden run a sporting goods store? No. A multiplex? No. Would you let Joe run the candy and soda counter at the multiplex? It's too confusing, no. Would you let him run a Macy's? A McDonald's? No. A Houston's restaurant? No. Would you let him run an airport? Negative. Would you let him run the parking at the high school football game? No. Would you let him run a high school speech tournament? Too many kids, no. How about a swim meet? No. Would you let Joe Biden run any business with 10 employees? No. Would you let him run a business with 100 employees? No. Would you let him do HR for a business with 10 employees? No. Would you let him run the gift wrap sales fundraiser for your kids school?

No. Would you let him run a piano recital for 20 students under the age of 10? How about 10 students under the age of 10? No kids, no. Would you let him announce graduation at MIT? Would you let him announce graduation for any college? Have you heard him? No. Would you let him run an eighth grade graduation? No. Would you let him run the change of command at any duty station for any branch of the armed services anywhere in the Americas or in the worldwide distribution of our defense facilities? Not unless you wanted to create an incident, no. Would you let him drive a truck? Well, he's already claimed it, no. Would you let him drive a car that you're riding in the passenger seat? Not unless I was heavily insured. Would you let him fire a pistol at a range? Oh, hell no. Would you let him fire a rifle at a range? No. A machine gun? No. Bazooka? No. Would you let him get into a tank and fire a tank? I'm seeing a pattern here, no. Would you let him direct the drone strike? No. Would you let him drive a little tiny boat whaler, you know, a 12 -foot whaler? I would let him pilot your dinghy, no. Would you let him drive a criss -craft with an outboard motor? No. Of a yacht, a big yacht? No. Would you let him command the deck of a freighter? A freighter? No. How about a destroyer? Uh, I'm thinking not. Submarine? No. Aircraft carrier? No. All right. Could you imagine Stav with him on deck? What would you let Joe Biden do? Retire. No, but I mean, really, seriously, is there anything you'd let him do to put him in charge of, because this is my first edition of would you let Joe Biden dot, dot, dot? Nothing complicated because he gets confused easy. Nothing with kids because we kind of know about that. No, there's nothing the guy can do. He has shown no knowledge of market economics, free market economics. He has no idea how supply and demand works. No, but I'm just talking about give me something that he can do because we've got to get a retirement hobby for him. A retirement hobby? Checkers. Do you think he could win at checkers ever? It's yeah, he could he could run he could run an ice cream stand. I we I covered that. You were gonna let him run a 7 -Eleven. I don't know. I covered the gift wrap. 7 -Eleven is more complicated than an ice cream stand because gas is involved. But but I asked you about the the gift wrap fundraising. I want every mom in America ice cream. Well, no, every parent driving to school in America right now knows fall is the season for fundraisers. So we got the call from the granddaughter over the weekend. Hey, Nana, which is the fetching Mrs. Hewitt, right? Would you buy gift wrap? And of course, we're probably gonna have enough gift wrap for the rest of the five seasons. Yeah, yeah. Five seasons of gift wrap. Yes. And and now the flash is probably going to come up with candy bar. You know, it's just fundraising season, right? And so it's better than raffle tickets. I hate raffle tickets. Yeah. Gift wrap you can at least put in the closet and it'll be there when when she has to clean out the house. You are what we call in in in the school trade. You are what we call an easy mark. A mark. Yeah. Yes. And and you wouldn't even let Joe button out. For those of you who are new to the audience, we've added affiliates recently. Dwayne is an ex band parent who keeps getting dragged back in. And when he was a band parent, he ran parking at the at the battle of the band. Do you know what I'm doing now? Do you know what I'm doing this this year? What I'm doing? What? I had to stand up along with my wife, stand up a snack bar outside of girls volleyball. All right. Would you let Joe Biden run that? Not in your wildest dreams, because because one money's involved and two girls are nearby. But I mean, OK, then Paul back a year or two. No, you let him direct parking at the Battle of the Bands. Oh, not unless you wanted a wreck.

A highlight from Evangelism and Church Growth
"Well good morning. I appreciate the confident prayer of Jeff as he thanks the Lord before he even hears me utter a word. There's a bottle of water under here. Am I allowed to steal this? I don't know whose it is, but charge it to Larry I suppose. Well in light of whatever I have to bring and wherever I've been privileged to serve and whatever God has been gracious to teach me, may it be today as with our forefathers that we would simply think of ourselves as ministers of the Word. Let's let's pray together and I mean wave that by Mike Woodall and I don't think he just wants to say hi. How's that Mike? Is that better? All right now we can pray I suppose. Oh God may we be absolutely brought to the end of ourselves when we come to the gospel. Let us see not just at the cross the good news of our deliverance, but let us see the horrible cost of our rebellion. And let us believe God in the cross and in the cross alone there is Oh God we would pray this day as we come this morning to the start of a new day together we thank you God for all that you have planned for us. For we know God by virtue of your word and how you have been so good in days gone by we know you will continue to be faithful. So we call God upon that faithfulness and trust in it now that you would come and that you would take your word and that you would by your spirit make it effective to speak to our hearts stir God our every affection and passion and wrap it around the cross of Christ. God we would thank you praise and you and God may it please you to send forth your word may you watch over it God even now to perform it in Christ's name. Amen. Did Jesus have to die for the church to grow? I think that is a question that needs to be fought through by every faithful preacher of the Word of God. Did Jesus have to die for the church to grow? For in fact much is taking place in today's church that is considered growth that doesn't seem to be related at all to the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. Did Jesus have to die for the church to grow? I think we need to think about that question not just in the realities in regard to its truthfulness but also if true we need to consider it in regard to the implications that it has for the labors of our own ministry. It is a question that texts like John 12 24 bring to mind. Jesus speaking of the hour of his being glorified in his cross he states these words truly truly I say to you unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies it remains alone but if it dies it brings forth much fruit or think of these words of Jesus just a little later in that same chapter Jesus said and I when I am lifted up from the earth will draw all men myself to or think of Christ's words in John chapter 10 he says I am the Good Shepherd and I know my own and my own know me just as the Father knows me and I know the Father and I lay down my life for the sheep and I have other sheep that are not of this fold I must bring them also and they listen will to my voice when the seed dies it brings forth fruit when Christ is lifted up all men are drawn to him when the Good Shepherd lays down his life the sheep will follow it is these kinds of texts and bold declarations that led the Apostle Paul to draw the theological conclusion that there is an inseparable connection between the death of Christ and the end for which he died that is the constructing of a body he would refer to as the church the fruit the people the sheep would all be drawn together in the formation of a tangibly expressed group of people that he would call his own this truth led Paul to declare in Romans 1 16 I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is unless we have a big debate about what is is it is the power of God unmistakable it is the power of God Paul saw the gospel of Jesus Christ and him crucified on that gosh on that cross as the very means by which God would manifest divine power to establish equip and one day exalt and lifted up glory the fullness of his redeemed body the church the bride of his beloved son that the gospel of the cross of Christ is indeed a declaration of divine and effectual power for the establishment and edification of the Church of Jesus Christ is a sound truth held out for us in Paul's letter to the Corinthians his first letter in particular I found it encouraging after having picked this text a few years ago when our meeting when we kind of lined out this conference a little bit my heart began to lean toward this passage and just recently in the last few weeks I came across this note by John Stott he makes this comment about this particular text he says in it we find no clear exposition in the New Testament of the place of he divine power says it is perhaps the passage of scripture which preachers should read and study more than any other and by which we should judge and reform our ministry that was quite a statement to me I think he is quite right believing the growth of the Church of Jesus Christ to be a reality created and sustained by divine power to this text we want to look this morning to receive a commission as preachers of the gospel as a commission as deliverers if you will of divine power and by the grace of God to be seen as servants through whom all men will come to believe to the increase of the kingdom of Christ and the building up of his church now in this text from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians the Apostle Paul sets forth what I would say is his theological understanding of and commitment to this precious gospel of the cross yet as he sees as he sets it forth it it is not what many might expect to hear we need to read 1st Corinthians 1 18 through chapter 2 verse 5 as if the gospel is a surprise as if it's not what we would have expected we we've read that passage so long we probably go okay that's the gospel but when the when the world hears this gospel they don't go oh yeah that's good news it catches them completely by surprise it is completely unexpected it sets everything they ever thought about the gospel in reverse consider before we actually turn to the text several points of observation in the proclamation of the gospel an unexpected word goes forth that accomplishes unheard of and quite unexpected results it is a word that from all observable criteria would not have been received by any in the world it already being enamored with its own word and finding it more to its liking and pleasure a word that to the world was void of any real significance a word that was not shaped properly to be embraced by their self -shaped passions it is a word that appeared weak if not utterly impotent and foolish if not utter madness in a world that was consumed with the pragmatic wisdom of man a word went forth that in truth worked if you want pragmatic if you want something I that works present to you brothers preach the gospel because that works the rest of it is just play you want to be novel and innovative in today's world preach the gospel nobody's doing it so be different I should love all these people don't want to be different they all look the same it's like nothing they've ever seen and nothing they ever expected furthermore in the proclamation of the gospel the substance of which we find to be the very power of God something unexpected occurs in the lives among those to whom it is proclaimed God takes very unlikely subjects who do not travel in the acceptable circles of the world's elite academically politically socially and he takes them into his school he brings them into his courts and he invites them to his celebration he takes those who are far away and brings the mirror near he takes those who are nobodies in the world and makes them the somebodies of his own economy he takes the blind and gives them sight the deaf and makes them hear the mute and makes them speak the lame and makes them walk he takes dead people and makes them live that's what the gospel does like a farmer who has at his disposal see that he casts upon the ground hoping the ground to be rich and ready and some power from above like rain to fall in abundance on the seed with which he was also supplied he didn't make it himself he wants that rain to make it grow in the preaching of the gospel a man takes a message that appears from all human estimation to be weak and without power and cast it upon the unlikely the rejected the unexpected the undeserving the on everything by falling by the falling of the Spirit of God from above upon the soil of the heart into which the gospel seed has been cast God brings light out of darkness and life out of barren death one last thing to think about before we look at the text itself in the proclamation of the gospel God comes to people in a form of human weakness you ever wonder why he called you to preach every Sunday morning about 1025 I'm having this argument on my office not me yes you not me no I'm not a charismatic everybody hear that you understand you must be kidding I have a mirror in my office and every now and then I get bold enough to look at it and I'm thinking not me yes you so shut up and preach because you're the guy to do it today God comes in the form of human weakness he chooses the most unlikely bearers for his glorious gospel and comes to men in weakness fear and trembling and furthermore were it not for the true power of the message itself there would have been no lasting impact made by the vessels themselves who were in truth rather impotent and unworthy vessels to begin with but we will do well brothers to recall this gospel comes in an unexpected word it performs an unexpected work and is in truth delivered and unexpected and even unimpressive wrappings like an insignificant creature that one can take in his hand in its apparent weakness which at the same time is found to dwell in the palaces of Kings so this gospel which comes to men in the appearance of weakness and insignificance and is in truth the very wisdom and power of the king of heaven itself now this is strange to impact and change the world to say the least with such a message but it is in truth the very gospel of the cross of Christ by which the church in every age grows up into her head the ever -glorious Christ it is most important however that the claims that we have just made in summation of the text before we actually gave you the text and exposition those claims need to be rooted in the scripture themselves so I'd like you to find with me again that text in 1st the text in the broader context of the whole of Paul's letter and see why Paul would write such words about the cross of Christ helpful in this were some words by Earl Ellis and a book he wrote called prophecy and hermeneutic in early Christianity and dr.

The Coming Wave: Mustafa Suleyman Discusses His New A.I. Book
"Joined now by Mustafa Suleiman. He is one of the people who John Ellis says is the half dozen or so who actually understand artificial intelligence and what we're facing. He's also the author of this brand new book, The Coming Wave. The Coming Wave is, I have to say, sort of epic. Good morning or afternoon, Mustafa. I'm not sure where you are. Where are you today? Good afternoon, Hugh. Great to be with you. I am in New York today, so it's a lovely sunny afternoon. We are in the same time zone. Then I will let people know. We are taping this on Wednesday, September 6th at 5 in the afternoon. I'll play it on my radio show tomorrow and make the transcript available. Thank you for joining me. I did not plan, it wasn't planned, that you would come on to talk about The Coming Wave at the same time that Time Magazine has Elon Musk on the cover talking with Walter Isaacson about artificial intelligence. Did you have that planned that way for the rollout of the book? That was not planned, but you know, the timing is going to work out just fine, I think. It's pretty funny to see that come out. Very interesting. The synergy is very good. Now, when John Ellis, and I don't know if you know John, but he's a newsman's newsman. When he says a half dozen to eight people understand AI and lists you in that, is that hyperbole or is that an accurate statement? Well, I mean, I think there are lots of people who understand AI very deeply. I mean, the field is huge now, and you know, there are many, many people who've been working on it for some time, actually. I'm among the group who has been working on AI, you know, in the earlier stages in this new wave. So, you know, I started DeepMind along with two friends in 2010. And, you know, I guess it's almost been sort of 13 years or so at this point working in the field. But there are many luminaries above and beyond me, you know, many professors who have been in the field for 30 years or so toiling away. So I'm really part of the new generation.

The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from Chainlink Starterpack (The Oracle Of Crypto)
"Everyone seems to be bullish on Chainlink, and you may be wondering if you should add its native token LINK to your portfolio. But like any good investor, you want to do some research first. Finding information on this project can be tricky. Sometimes it seems you need a genius level IQ to understand all the mystical things Chainlink does. I know it stops my dogs from running in the woods. But here at BitBoy Crypto, we've got you, and we're going to break it down. This is your Chainlink starter pack. So let's get it. Today, we're talking everything Chainlink. You may have heard Chainlink bandied about the comment sections of the cryptoverse. It seems that every YouTuber has put out a price prediction video, including us. Take a look at our price prediction video from July 30, 2023. But what is Chainlink? It is a decentralized oracle network. And we're not talking about the crystal ball type of oracle who tells you about your future or bends a spoon, although there are a few similarities that give rise to the name. In order to understand what an oracle does in the crypto space, we need a quick reminder on blockchains and smart contracts. Blockchains are a method of storing information. It's like the Hall of Prophecies from Harry Potter. But instead of being filled with prophecies, it's filled with crypto records. In the case of Bitcoin, the blockchain holds records of transactions. So if you decided to tip us in Bitcoin because you're so thankful for all the info BitBoy Crypto provides, we could go look at that transaction on the blockchain. Each block of the blockchain has a limited amount of information it can hold, so once that space is used up, another block is added to the chain. In Ethereum's case, the blockchain holds both records of transactions and smart contracts. A smart contract is a program with predetermined terms and conditions that automatically executes an agreement when that code is met. So an example of a smart contract would be logging into an exchange and trading $100 worth of ETH for $100 worth of LINK. The smart contract checks that both parties have the amount of crypto they're proposing to have and then executes the exchange. Smart contracts illuminate human error, discrimination, etc. by making code do the work. And this is part of what makes crypto so exciting. So you may be wondering what these things have to do with Chainlink. I promise we're getting there. Blockchains and smart contracts are amazing technologies, but by design, they're meant to have a singular focus. They aren't connected to information beyond their code or the world outside of the blockchain. That's where oracles come in. And that's why Sergei Nazarov and Steve Ellis of smartcontract .com launched Chainlink on Ethereum in June of 2017. The oracles that make up Chainlink's decentralized network connect real world data off -chain to smart contracts on the blockchain and vice versa. Real world data can include anything from the weather to stock prices to the results of a football game. You can think of Chainlink as a very necessary middleman that solves a real problem in crypto land. So we could develop a smart contract where you, our viewer, press the like button on this video and then get a token that provides access to crypto heaven. Chainlink would see that you like the video and let us know via smart contract, and then we would issue you the token. Okay, we can't do that yet. But who knows with Chainlink? But you get the idea. And we still appreciate it if you did like and subscribe. So how does Chainlink get the real world data onto the blockchain? It does this by maintaining a trustworthy network of oracles that are made up of nodes. These nodes answer questions in requesting contracts. Anyone can run a node. You just install the node on your computer connected to a blockchain, and then you look for jobs on the node operator dashboard. Although Chainlink was built on Ethereum, it now supports the BNB, Polygon, Avalanche, Phantom, Arbitrum and Optimism blockchains. I feel pretty optimistic about that. It uses a smart contract oriented programming language called Solidity, which is very popular on Ethereum. We won't sugarcoat it. The process to become a node operator is a bit more complicated than the spark notes we just gave you. But who are we to crush your dreams? You can check out Chainlink's website or search for YouTube tutorials, but we're not going to go too deep into the weeds with it here. The node operators agree to lock up their link, which can be confiscated if they're found to be untruthful. In exchange for fulfilling the request for information, node operators receive link from the people in search of this off -chain data. So Chainlink receives a requesting contract from someone or something who wants real world data. Chainlink then turns the requesting contract into a smart contract called Chainlink Service Level Agreement Contract. And because that wasn't enough contracts, the SLA then gets divided into three subcontracts. The first is the reputation contract, which is basically the judge, jury and executioner for the nodes, like Sylvester Stallone. It checks how reliable and true the data has been from the nodes and then removes any lying liars. So say there was a request for the color of the sky and eight nodes said the sky was blue and two nodes said it was green. The program is designed to kick the two nodes who sent misinformation to the curb. Get out of here, greenies! Once Chainlink knows which nodes are reliable, there's an order matching contract which sends the question to those nodes, collects their bids and then matches the right nodes to the job. Chainlink also uses code to search the interwebs for the information to double fact check everything. Finally, the aggregating contract comes into play. Remember the nodes who were debating the color of the sky? Well, the aggregating contract is designed to find the right answer by taking an average of all the data. Since eight nodes reported the sky as being blue, that's the answer that will be sent on chain to the smart contract. And the cool thing about Chainlink is they use an off -chain reporting consensus mechanism. The nodes talk to each other off -chain, and then they choose one node to send the data on chain. This is a secure method that uses way less gas than when this process took place on chain. And the smart contracts really, really want this real world data. That's why Chainlink has so many partnerships and projects across all areas of the cryptoverse and even into traditional finance. Chainlink has expanded their bespoke truth serum to provide proof of reserves, which uses their unbiased method of information gathering to fact check companies claiming to have certain items. Saying there's a new stablecoin that is supposedly backed by USD, Chainlink can use its proof of reserve to certify that the company behind the stablecoin actually has the reported amount of USD in reserve. This can be used from anything from gold to real estate to artwork and potentially could prevent major industry meltdowns like FTX and tariff. And then there's Chainlink CCIP, aka cross -chain interoperability protocol, which according to founder Sergey, makes different systems work with one communication standard. It allows blockchains to work together as smart contracts on different blockchains to send each other commands. It also facilitates communication between blockchains and banks. Basically connecting DeFi to TradFi for the first time ever. Chainlink has a partnership with SWIFT, and even Bank of America gave it a call out in its June 2023 Global Digital Assets Research Report. So that's exciting. The other exciting thing about Chainlink is that it's climate neutral. No matter what you think about the ESG wars, some companies will feel pressure not to use crypto companies that they see as harming the environment. So Chainlink being environmentally friendly just makes it even more adoptable by the masses and potentially a good bet long term. And speaking of bets, I want to give a shout out to Stake for sponsoring this video. I wonder if they use Chainlink. Okay, so let's chat a bit about Chainlink's tokenomics. LINK is non -inflationary because there's a max supply of 1 billion tokens. Currently, there's a circulating supply of over 500 million tokens. 35 % of the tokens are used to secure the network, 30 % is for development, and the other 35 % were sold publicly. When LINK had its ICO back in September 2017, the price was around 15¢. And at the top of the last bull run of 2021, the price ballooned above $50. Back in June of 2022, Chainlink enabled another way to secure their network, staking on the Ethereum network. So even more of the coins will be locked up by the community. Staking rewards are 7 % for node operators and nearly 5 % for community members. The initial staking pool is capped at 25 million LINK, and there's a 7 ,000 LINK limit per person for staking for inclusivity. And there you have it, folks. Your Chainlink starter pack. The ecosystem is constantly expanding, so make sure you stay up to date and check back here for more updates on Chainlink. That's all I got. DZ out. I gotta go get my three Chainlink.

Because of you, ACLJ donors, you get the best attorneys in the world.

I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House folks. I want to thank Charlie, he's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at sierra pacific mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Joining us now exclusively, Senator Colton Moore, a great American. There is fight left in the state of Georgia. And there is an official petition to investigate Fannie Willis, as well as now his letter to Governor Brian Kemp. I'm going to read this. Colton Moore, welcome to the program. Dear Governor Kemp, we, the undersigned, being the duly elected members of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and compromising three -fifths of each respective house pursuant to article four section two paragraph 7b, making sure my Roman numerals are right, hereby certify to you in writing with a copy of the Secretary of State that in our opinion emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section for all purposes to include that limitation, the review and response of the actions of Fannie Willis. Sincerely, Colton Moore. Colton, welcome to the program. Tell us about it. Charlie, thank you for having me. I mean, we're in a dire situation. After these indictments came out, I woke up, ate my biscuit, and I was like, is there a hair in my biscuit? I mean, this is disgusting. We have a district attorney using taxpayer money, using her government authority to persecute her political opponent to the tune of the death penalty. I will not be a sitting senator in this state and potentially have the former president be executed in the state of Georgia. Yeah, so let's just kind of walk through this. You are now leading a legislative campaign of oversight. What does that look like constitutionally in the state of Georgia? Tell us about it. So I have a job to do as a Senator, Charlie, and part of that job in the legislature is providing oversight. The Constitution gives us some tools to do that. First of which is the power of the purse, right? We control the money. And my constituents, Georgians outside of the city of Atlanta, don't feel that their tax dollars ought to be used for this type of purpose. You know, we've also got the power to investigate any judicial or executive official, and we ought to be doing an investigation on Fannie Willard. And if that investigation turns out that she's corrupt, like many of us suspect, it's time for impeachment. And so what is impeached? So in the Georgia Constitution, the House or the Senate can impeach a prosecutor. Is that correct? That's correct. Yeah, it's one of those checks and balances that we're blessed with here in the presidential system of American government. So let me ask you, read the room for us amongst your colleagues. You're leading this. It's now going totally viral as finally, praise God, good on you. Let's use some of this constitutional power to slow this down, investigate her. Was she given an external power? Why is she and why is she indicting the entire Republican Party, such as Trump? It's John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Jen Ellis. It's totally out of control. It's a fellow senator. It's a colleague of mine in the Senate. Is it also included on that indict? So what is what is the temperature check of the Georgia Senate? Is this going to be met? Yeah, please. Yeah, I mean, Republicans in the state of Georgia are asleep at the wheel, OK? Everything is talk, talk, talk. I talked to my other fellow senators and everything's well, you know, we're kind of wait this out, talk about it, you know, post the tweet, you know, let's make a Facebook post. I have a job to do. It's time to take action. And Charlie, let me tell you, right after this and that, I was having dinner with my mother and I told her, I said, no more talk like I have a job to do. Time to take action. And she was worried. He's like, I don't know, you know, they've got these guys charged with crimes that could potentially result in lethal injection. I don't know if I want you meddling in that. And I was like, mom, that's the time to take action, because as a red blooded American, you should never fear a Gestapo political tactic from a power like a D .A.. So I don't want to get you in trouble here, but just I want to I want to drill this down. Your other do you think your colleagues are going to support this? Oh, I think when their constituents start calling them up, they're going to be supporting them. Boom. Right. Because it's time to take action. Well, according according to Fannie Willis, it's a conspiracy to ask your lawmakers to do something. But whatever. Let's let's let's just be clear. So for the patriots of Georgia, they need to call their state rep on their state senator. And what is the ask? What is the order? To help us with this process to begin defunding the district attorney and investigating through the means of a special session. That's our job as a legislature to put a check and balance on this judicial branch, to put a check and balance on the judicial branch. And and praise God, you have the courage. Were you cautioned not to get into this by certain, let's just say older Republicans? Were you told, don't send this letter? You know, the caution comes in many forms. They're all cautious. And that's the scary part. That's what makes me so afraid. I mean, I'm 29 years old, Carly. I do not want to live the next 30 years of my life worried about a regime. I mean, this is some Putin fascist nonsense. So the letter is composed to the governor. Does he have to be the one to actually call the special session? No, no. So part of that check and balance process, the governor himself could call a special session and we could start right now. We could start tomorrow. But the governor has already made his statement. You know, he's looking back at this like this is a 2020 issue. Well, it took 19 days to count the votes. And these individuals have a legitimate concern about the election. Right. They were they were using their First Amendment to express concern about the election. And then now they're being charged with it. They're being taken political prisoner. And so so then you guys can call the session with three. That's right. Without the governor. Right. Without the governor. Does he preside over it or is he called into it or? No, no. The legislature would be operating independently and it gives us full subpoena power. So what are the what are the numbers, the House and the Senate, as far as the Republican majorities? So if every Republican in the Senate signed on, we would have we would have what was necessary. It's going to take every GOP Republican to stand up and abide by the principles of freedom, regardless of whether you like Donald Trump or not, regardless if you have a beef with some of these other folks who are indicted. These folks were using their freedom of expression and they had a concern. So the problem we're going to have over in the House is we're going to have to pick up a few Democrats. The margins are a little tighter there. But here's the other thing about this district attorney. The ACLU reports that half of the inmates in her jail have yet to be charged with a crime. And in meanwhile, we've got Young Thug, Young Slime, who's got RICO charges similar to what these political prisoners are about to have, and they haven't even picked a jury in over a year now. So so now we have evidence it's Young Thug. I thought is this some sort of a rapper or something? I believe so. Yeah, I'm not I'm not a big rap music fan, but his name is Young Thug. And I think the crime syndicate called Young Slime. Got it. So, yeah, so they they're standing for RICO charges and she's going easy on him. Meanwhile, so I mean, and by the way, Fulton County, it's like a third world country. When I go there, crime is up. It's terrible. And yet she's going she's trying an interstate RICO case. I this and claims that she can get it done in like six months. Right. And 18 people. And yet it's ridiculous. And yet Republicans are asleep at the wheel and say, I don't know, just let's let it play out. You know, so we have to wake up the Republican Party. I'm sure you have some colleagues that are going to stand with you, but we have to each Republican Georgia senator one by one. We need every county in Georgia. We need mass mobilization. This is the call to action. I just want you to riff on this. I'll be honest. I love the people of the state of Georgia. I love Georgia. But you guys have really disappointed in some ways in the last couple of years. It's a strange Republican apparatus. This is a chance for Georgia redemption. Yeah, no doubt.

Fresh update on "ellis" discussed on Afternoon News with Tom Glasgow and Elisa Jaffe
"US House of Representatives has voted to oust Speaker McCarthy Kevin and the question now is what comes next. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, one of the most liberal members of the House, tells CNN that moderate Republicans should join them in a power sharing agreement or at least elect Hakeem Jeffries of New York as the next speaker. We Democrats will govern in the same way that we governed for the last two years when we had the majority with a very slim margin. We were able to get a tremendous amount done. Now, that seems unlikely, though. Republican Patrick McHenry of North Carolina has been named the temporary speaker of the House. Two years and seven months after the death of Manny Ellis, the trial of three Tacoma officers charged with his death is finally getting underway. Northwest News Radio's Corwin Hake reports the prosecution has now made its opening statement. Ellis was 33 when he died in 2020. Prosecutors say the restraint applied by three Tacoma officers, including an illegal neck hold, caused his death. Washington Assistant Attorney General Kent Lew told reporters Ellis was able only to utter what became his last words, quote, I can't breathe, sir. We know that all these three defendants heard him say it, but they chose to do nothing. They didn't help them. Lew promised the jury they will eventually see video evidence and hear eyewitness testimony to confirm the prosecution's version of events, including not only Ellis's last words, but also an officer's response of shut the f word up. Three officers, Matthew Collins, Christopher Urbank and Timothy Rankin are charged respectively with second degree murder, first degree manslaughter and second degree manslaughter. Their trial is expected to last two months. Corwin Northwest Radio. News Attorneys for the three officers say Ellis had a weak heart and also had meth in his system when he died. Civil rights advocates are keeping a close eye on this trial as a major test of I 9 40, the state law designed to make it easier Prosecute to police officers for criminal misconduct.

The Financial Guys
A highlight from The Indictment of Donald Trump: A Threat to All Americans
"And I'm going to say it just like that. It's bullshit. Why? Because you would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Hillary Clinton. You would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Stacey Abrams. It's political. It's targeting one person. And you know what? I'll say this to him, Mike. When Donald Trump says they're coming after you, I'm just in the way, he's 100 % right. Welcome to another Financial Guys podcast. I'm Mike Hayflick, along with Mike Speraza. Mike, I think mostly we're going to talk about Trump today, but we have to talk about another dredge of our Erie County community, Mark Poloncarz. But we'll save a little bit of that news about Mark for last. Another fearless leader in New York. Man, what's worse than fearless? He's fearful. He's fearful of his own reputation is all he's really fearful of. That's what I'd say, but we'll save that for last. You do not want to miss his response to the two rapes by migrants, I should say. You do not want to hear his exact ... We're going to read the exact Facebook post. I won't even summarize, I'm going to read you exactly what he has to say. You don't want to miss that at the end of the show. Filled with compassion, I'm sure. So Trump indicted for a fourth time. This is not unexpected. This was by Fulton County DA Fannie Willis. This is for election interference and Trump and many others actually must surrender by August 25th at noon, Mike. Your thoughts initially on Trump being indicted for a fourth time. Well, it's not shocking because they've been telling us for weeks that they were going to make a show of this. Atlanta or Fulton County, they have literally been talking about this for months. They've been talking about mug shots. They've been talking about the whole song and dance of an actual bringing Trump in and going through the fingerprinting, going through the photos. They've been doing this and telling us this for months. So it's not shocking. What is shocking them, Mike, is that you've seen the polls, right? Every time this happens, Trump's numbers skyrocket. His fundraising skyrockets every single time. And now they're doing it again. And this might be the most ridiculous of them all because of the charade and the show that it's going to be. If I was going to use an example, if I'm a Barack Obama and I'm the leader of the party, not saying he is, but maybe he is, I'm saying to myself, the last thing that I want the media and I want law enforcement and I want the legal system to do is prop this guy up anymore because every time we do it, it backfires at us. I'd be like, keep this guy out of your mouth. Keep him away from you. I don't want to hear Donald Trump. I don't want to see Donald Trump. But no, they do the opposite. And I think their hope is, Mike, they get him on one of these charges. I don't think it matters. The people that are voting for Donald Trump, myself included, I'm going to raise my hand. I am voting for Donald Trump no matter what happens. He could get convicted on all 75 indictments and 400 years in prison. I don't care I'm voting for him. Now, if something came out that he was like a child molester or an actual murderer or something, of course that would change. But based on these four indictments, no matter what happens in the courtroom, Donald Trump is not, it's not even a question. He is my vote. I am voting for Donald Trump. That is the president. Yeah. This, this once again, I think shows how self -serving, narcissistic and how deeply Trump derangement syndrome runs in a lot of these people's heads like Fannie Willis. This is the, the reading, I guess I'll, I'll use this out of an article off of Fox. Let's, uh, let's see this by, oh, this was seven hours ago, Houston, Keene of Fox news. This says a 97 page indictment. The charges include violating the Georgia RICO act RICO. If you don't know what that means, racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations act often, I think you'd hear that it may be for mafia activity, drug activity, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree conspiracy to commit false statements and writings conspiracy to commit filing false documents conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree filing false documents and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. Now former Trump white house chief of staff, Mark Meadows, attorneys, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesbrough, Jeff Clark, John Eastman, and others were also charged out of this years long investigation. Interesting Mike years long investigation. And here we are, August of 2023, just before presidential campaigns really heat up and debates begin. Let's talk about the timing of these indictments. I mean, we had Alvin Bragg start this whole parade off with falsifying business records, uh, you know, accusations against Donald Trump, which was total bullshit Manhattan DA, right? Alvin Bragg Bragg, next federal charges for holding classified records at Mar -a -Lago also bullshit. Go ahead. Justice department council, Jack Smith, then for the January 6th, uh, involvement, he says that Trump had basically instigating that whole event. And then further with, you know, just to layer on it, it was like icing on a cake. He had to hold Trump accountable for even more. And then finally Fulton County, DA Fannie Willis. So just the timing of this, it seems so orchestrated, um, I don't think there's any question in anybody's mind. I don't care who you are, that this has been an orchestrated attempt to take down Donald Trump. So in case nobody saw this yesterday, cause I'm sure you did, and I'm not saying you Mike, but people listening may not have, um, Sam bank from freed, uh, there was news that came out about him shelling out a hundred million dollars of stolen money, by the way, from his FTX funds to Democrat, uh, you know, nominees in the 2022 midterms. So the same day we see this crook, which we all knew were, was a crook by the way, you know, let's not forget that we all said this for a long time. This guy gave a hundred million dollars to democratic candidates across the country. That is on the same day. Also the whistleblower confirmed, um, some of the stuff in the Hunter Biden trial just yesterday. And then this comes out by the way, Mike, we forgot to mention this earlier, Fannie Willis, the genius that she is, ends up screwing up this indictment by the way, and putting it online for public knowledge before they even talk to the grand jury. Right, right. So they were working fast and they were working fast for a reason, right? This is just another show. And again, I'm here for it. I'm on the record. I'm here for it. Why? This is cementing. Donald Trump said he needed one more indictment. I'm going to say he needs one more thing. He needs the Fulton County mugshot and it's over. Once we get the mugshot, this race, not the primary is already over. The primary has been over. Once we get that mugshot, the, the 2024 race is over. It's over completely. That will set Donald Trump over the edge. His face will be on every t -shirt again, raising my hand, I'll buy 20 of them. The Donald Trump mugshot will take him through and carry him through the 2024 election. It's over. Yeah. And this, to your point about this leak, Fannie Willis essentially just simply said, I can't tell you anything. Of course you can't, right? So this was Monday. This is, this is official. The office of the Fulton County clerk or superior and magistrate courts has learned of a fictitious document that has been circulated online and reported by various media outlets to the Fulton County special purpose grand jury. While there have been no documents filed today regarding such, all members of the media should be reminded that documents that do not bear an official case number, filing date and the name of the clerk of courts in concert are not considered official filings and should not be treated as such. This was not a simple mistake is what, uh, let's see here. This was Trump attorneys, Drew Findling and Jennifer Little who slammed this. This was not a simple administrative mistake. A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the DA's office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk's office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated. How could that be, Mike? Well, how can it be and how can this not just be thrown out? You know, if anyone believes in rule of law and equal justice, how can this just not be thrown out? I think to your point, Mike, like I totally agree. I think nobody who has supported Trump from the beginning has lost the feeling of support for him. I mean, if anything, it's grown and grown and grown. And then the other thing is you just wonder, will independents or any, any liberals at all liberals like Bill Maher, will any of them say, I cannot, I cannot in my right mind vote for anybody on the left anymore. They've taken this far, far too far. And I mean, it's like basically over the cliff and they're falling, waiting to see how hard it's going to, you know, how hard they're all going to hit. Here's the problem, too. In the last six years, we've had numerous people challenge elections. By the way, two of them were that I'm talking about right now were liberals. Hillary Clinton still doesn't believe she lost in 2016 and is on the record saying that. And Stacey Abrams has it, Mike. So if you really give a shit about, you know, hey, we need to bring people to justice, then do it, then go after those two. This is my problem with this whole thing. Like all these liberals, like Harry Sisson, Mr. Gen Z, oh, finally getting justice. That's bullshit. And I'm going to say it just like that. It's bullshit. Why? Because you would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Hillary Clinton. You would never, ever, ever bring these charges against Stacey Abrams there. It's political. It's targeting one person. And you know what? I'll say this, too, Mike. When Donald Trump says they're coming after you, I'm just in the way, he's 100 percent right. What does he mean by that? They don't give a shit about Trump. They do, but that's short term. They know that at most Trump's got four years left. They give a shit about all of us that can think clearly and that know they're all full of shit. That's what they're concerned about. The MAGA movement, they're petrified of it. And they need to take out its leader. And they're coming after us next. I promise you that. Well, let's talk about what can actually work in terms of Trump getting elected, in terms of stopping this crazy liberal freight train. Is it simply election? Is it actually GOP members stepping up and actually getting the balls to do something? Like do something. That would help. Stop threatening. Stop reporting. Like they're the town criers. Oh, have you seen what's going on there? Whoa, that's wrong. Oh, my gosh. What's this Fannie Willis thinking? Whoa. What was Alvin Bragg's thinking? This is this is unconstitutional. You just hear it. It's like it's like just it's like white noise now. You just hear all the Republicans, those that even want to say anything. How about the ones that never say anything? What are we paying you for? Like honestly, what are we paying you for? You're not passing any great legislation. So how about you just get a set of balls and say something? Say in something support or in not support. All you like to do is is sort of thread the needle. Stay on that tightrope. You don't want to go one side or another of the tightrope. You feel like, well, if I support Trump too much, that's not going to look good. But oh, if I if I don't support him, oh, my gosh, what are people going to think of me? Like stop thinking of what others will think of you. And how about you stand up? How about like a Vivek Ramaswamy type of statement where you actually you understand what's going on in this country and you actually take a side and you don't care who politically the person is. You stand up for what's right or what's wrong. I mean, I'm so tired of this. So do you think elections will make a difference? Do you think that some GOP members can actually make a difference? Do you think the the judicial system might make the difference? Do you think a lot of these things are just going to go basically down? I don't see them going down in many of these states. I mean, in Georgia and New York, D .C., D .C. I mean, I mean, really, like you look at this and you think, boy, these just have to be appealed and probably all the way headed right to the Supreme Court. My thoughts, honestly, are the Supreme Court right now can help. But at this point, forget Kevin McCarthy, forget Mitch McConnell, forget all the bursar artists that are in Congress, forget them all. If there's one thing that can change this and it's you, the people, you, the people are the only thing that can change this political weaponization, this political persecution. And to be honest with you, this banana republic government we got, there's one thing you can do and it's vote and it's go vote for Donald Trump. That is the one thing that we can do, Mike. Forget the courts. Forget all that. Go vote for Donald Trump. That is the only thing that we as Americans can do. Your congressmen won't do it. Your congresswomen won't do it. There's less than I bet, Mike, two percent that actually know what the hell is going on or are not part of that uni -party. There's less than two percent. I'll say a Matt Gaetz is one of those, right? I'll say a Byron Donalds is probably one of those, right? Those types of guys are the people that we need. Now, again, even with them, there's not enough of them, Mike. We need us, the voter, to take care of this. Go vote for Donald Trump and get rid of the con men. Get rid of the B .S., the Bidens, the Clintons, the Obamas. Get rid of them all. Go vote and take care of it. So it's easy to become just sort of a witness or a spectator to all of this, right? We all sit back and then at your kitchen table or as you're having a beer, having some chicken wings here in Buffalo anyway, maybe across the country, just not as good. You start talking about these things. And then to your point, Mike, people at election time think they need to just distance themselves from these things. They need a mental health break. They need to just they need to just watch and see what happens. Let's just see how the cards fall. Well, this house of cards that Joe Biden's administration and he has built, it's coming down, guys. I mean, it's burning like Maui right now. And it's just it just hasn't come to your doorstep yet. That's the problem. Until it hits your doorstep, you're not evacuating, right? You're not jumping into the ocean like these people in Maui have had to do. It's just a terrible tragedy there, which, by the way, Joe Biden doesn't have any time to comment on. By the way, let's not forget that, you know, actual disaster going on in California and Hawaii right now. But Joe Biden, baby, he's got to go ride his bike. He's got a vacation. So don't don't interrupt that. He's actually headed, I think, this week to Texas or something to can't find his way to Hawaii, though. God forbid he does that or God forbid he sends his vice president. Can't do that. How vile is that team that he has around them around him? I mean, they're the ones running the show. We know that. So it's just a it's such a corrupt and vile group to not say we got to get Joe out in front of the microphone for this. I mean, we've got to at least talk about the lives being lost, the federal assistance that we're going to provide, just something. Not a thing. And that's not Joe Biden. I mean, Joe Biden can't can't make sense of anything. And we know that. Like, that's clear. We know that. I mean, there's so much evidence now to say that I can say it without really saying, well, you never know. No, we know. But his team. Yeah. I mean, Dr. Jill, what are you saying, Joe? Maui's burning like it'll likely be thousands of people will have died on Maui because of fires and extreme wind and spreading of the wildfires. And he doesn't set a word. And you, Jill, don't have a you know, at any like no respect at all, no, no decency to tell your husband, get in front of a microphone, for God's sake, and say something about the people on Maui. They're U .S. citizens. But to your point earlier about voting, that's the problem. People get what I call election dementia. They completely forget how we got to the extreme, horrible, horrible conditions that we end up getting to. And then at election time, Mike, right about now, somehow the Democrats are going to come out and say, wow, look what's happening. Climate change is destroying island, beautiful islands like Maui. Crime is it's just it's taking over American cities. We can change that. We will help you. We will give. Right. We're Santa Claus. We will give. And then everybody votes for these people again. Yeah. And by the way, you know, Mike, to point of we will give the we will give costs everybody that actually works money. Right. So it sounds great in theory. Yeah. I said this to my mom was text me the other day about I forgot what it was. And I'm like, oh, you didn't know that money just grows on trees. Yeah. You just go over there. I'll just pick off that leave. It's money like that. That's what government treats everything like. And like we talk about all the time, we're both business owners. If I say to a company that I'm doing advertising with, you know, just give me give me five million. I'll take five million dollars advertising. No, no worries. Then they say, Mike, you got to pay for it. Well, what? That's not to pay. I thought I only had to pay ten thousand dollars. What do you mean I'd pay five? That's not a good deal for me. Yeah. What? Well, Mike, you signed a contract to pay us five million advertising. No, no, I didn't. OK. You know what I'll do? I'll just go ask all my clients for an extra five thousand dollars apiece and I'll pay my advertising. You can't do that in business, right? It's the business owner, the government, that if you're going to make deals, you've got to live with those deals and pay for them, right? Not expect everybody else to. What they do, Mike, as you always say, is they'll make these things up, right? And then they'll say, we've solved the problem. Crime? Yeah, we can't believe it's so bad either, but we have the solution. No, Kathy Hochul, you are the problem. You are not the solution. Joe Biden, no, you are not the solution. You are the problem. But Mike, to your point, the way they market it is that this, you know, we're here to save you. The problem is the saving comes from our pockets and the listener's pockets and the people that work pockets, the people that are retired that work their asses off pockets. And even then, Mike, they take all that money from us and it doesn't do a damn thing because they don't know what to do with it. Contracts. I mean, contracts involve people that have an intellect, right? You got to understand what contract are you stepping into. You've got to have integrity to follow through on the contract, right? The two sides agree to something. And you've got to then trust that each other will actually abide by the contract. Those qualities don't exist in many of these liberal progressive minds, intellect, integrity, trust. It's all about them. It's all about them. And then the problem is they will actually sign contracts and then think that it doesn't apply to them, even though they signed it. Right. So I think it's out the window now, like the idea of compromise and, you know, let's let's make agreements and all that. It's out the window. It's out the window. These people don't care. We see it every day. We see crime in cities and then we're told, let's not hold these people accountable. Let's let's let's deflect from the true reasons for these things. Let's hold guys like Trump accountable for actions that we can't even prove. But you know what? He has he has all the right in the world, Mike, to prove he's innocent. Right. That, according to Nancy Pelosi, this is upside down. And it won't turn right side up unless we get a guy like Trump, maybe just maybe we get a guy like Vivek Ramaswamy either side by side with Trump or somehow integrated within a Trump administration. And then maybe I have some hope, maybe some more optimism. And lastly, before we get to our pal Mark Polancarz, I do just want to say I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. And I mean this right. I don't care if you're a liberal, if you're independent or if you're conservative. If you think that this is the right way to do business in the United States, I say do business, not actual business, but you get what I'm saying? If this is what you think the right way is, then you need to go do some history on the Stalin regime, on Hitler's regime, on Benito Mussolini's regime. Do me a favor and go read about that. In those days, there were no such thing, Mike, as opposition, right? If you opposed, you got killed, right? And we're not killing Donald Trump yet, by the way. I'm going to say yet because I think that's next when all these sham four indictments don't work. That's where they're going next, right? So I hope Donald Trump has his taste testers. I hope Donald Trump has the secret service because I fear for that man's life and I pray for that man because I'm seriously concerned about it. This is dangerous. And if you are an American and you think this is the right way, there is something seriously wrong with you, right? Something said, you know, people could say, oh, Donald Trump said lock her up about Hillary. Okay. He did say that. Did he put his whole Department of Justice against Hillary Clinton like this? Did he do any of this? Because I don't think he did. No. Right. And some people wish he had done that. Right. I mean, a lot of us. Looking back, he probably should have. A lot of us say that might have been the only place he went wrong. He had a couple of years in power and he could have really slammed the door on all these accusations about Hillary Clinton and the bleach bidding of documents and the slamming and the smashing of cell phones and all that. He didn't do it. And we wish he would have. Would it have changed, turned the tide? I don't know. You know, we won't know. But after two years as a president, he kind of lost his ability to do it. I mean, he started to focus on America, which I'm glad he did. But I don't know. Well, I mean, we'll have to see how this one more indictment changes, turns the tide. Again, I think stalwart Trump supporters are not swaying. It's a matter of getting others to say, what on earth will it take for you to say this is a liberal, far, far leftist government that doesn't care about justice for all? Are you going to continue to align yourself with them or not? And time will tell. Let's talk a little bit about Erie County executive Mark Polancarz. Mark Polancarz has often been there at the forefront of cleanup, is what I'd say. One that comes to mind, Mike, was the winter storm and not adequately preparing and actually declaring an emergency. So I remember it like this, and this is just my recollection. We knew, we knew from the Midwest there were nasty, massive storms coming across the country, right? Ice storms, devastating winds like 70, 80 mile per hour winds. They were on their way. So we knew that the night before, let's say 10 o 'clock at night, 9 o 'clock at night the night before. And all through the night, we hear nothing. We hear nothing. We hear nothing. People get on the roads at 7, 730, 8 o 'clock in the morning, and then all hell broke loose. The snow was flying, it was blizzard, blizzard conditions, somewhat like the 1977 blizzard of western New York, of Buffalo. And everybody that was out on the roads was at peril. Many of them got stuck in vehicles. They ended up trying to leave their vehicles, and many, many actually died. And what did we hear afterward? We heard Mark Polancarz say, wow, this was just a devastating storm. Wow, we're going to try and get out there and save as many people as possible, right? We need to do all the right things. He came out, but he made a grave error by not pronouncing closing the throughway at 11 p .m. the night before, right? Or 10 p .m. the night before. Get off the throughways. Get off the roads. You will not be able to report to work, right? Government officials and everybody, right? They all love to do mandates, Mike. Why wouldn't he make a mandate then? So anyway, he's always at the forefront of the cleanup efforts. And he does the apology tour or the, you know, I'm not that bad. Come on, this went wrong, but I'm not that bad. What did he say of late? So this was sent to me actually by Stefan Mihaylo. Here we go. This is a Facebook post, folks. Now this is, mind you, a week after two people were raped, right? One person has tuberculosis in the area. All legal, by the way, shouldn't be here, okay? This is what he says. While the last few days haven't been the best I've had in office, I think back to everything this community has gone through since 2020. The COVID pandemic, the mass shooting, terrible storms, and the Christmas blizzard, the Damar Hamlin incident, Jason Arno's tragic death, and so much more. And know that a few political hits and rough days against me are nothing in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to what others have had to face. My team and I will come out stronger as we continue to work to create a better future for all. So as you can tell, Mike and I are a little hot today between the Trump indictment and this. Let me just say one thing. I'll turn this over to you, Mike.

"Well, this has been part of the secularization of the culture over the decades. There's just no question that the church has often just bought into this idea that, well, we'll be here in our little religious corner and we don't want to bother you. We're just going to be here talking theology. And you think, no, that's not biblical. Biblically, your theology is supposed to inform everything. Is stealing wrong? Is shooting somebody in the face with a gun wrong? What is right? What is wrong? These things are not merely religious. These touch everything. Is it good to have borders as a nation? Is it good to have a police force to defend us from thugs? Is it good for us to do anything to have rules and laws or whatever? How does that work? And I think a lot of times you're right. People just kind of act like, well, no, you know, I mean, even though government has become mostly the problem, it doesn't mean that we ought not to have some healthy government. And it's it's vital that we make that distinction, that if we, the people are the government, we want to hire people. We want to elect people to do what we want them to do, of course, because we get to choose. Yes. That is such an important point. We, the people are the government, not the sovereign. And that is a huge distinction, because if you look at what the founders understood and how they designed our system of government, we, the people get to select and prefer who gets to exercise the limited powers of government that are derived from God and who gets to define what good even means. Well, God is the one who defined that. And if this is just a social contract, then we are saying we, the people are replacing God in society. That's what the leftists want you to believe is that we, the people are the sovereign and majority will direct democracy. These aspects and elements of democracy in our constitutional republic mean that we, the people get to determine the measurable difference between right and wrong, good and evil. That is completely antithetical to how our system was designed on a recognition that God gives us our rights. And therefore, he, as the person of truth, is the standard for the measurable difference between right and wrong, good and evil. We cannot cede that ground. And it's important also to say that, you know, this is a little complicated, folks, because it's the same thing in another direction when people say like, I want to vote for a guy who is exactly where I am theologically. And I think what nonsense I mean, Jimmy Carter was a born again Christian who was a terrible president. George W. Bush was a born again Christian. Who in many ways failed us. We have had many presidents. I don't know where they are on the theological spectrum. Abraham Lincoln was not a card carrying evangelical Christian in 1860. I think he effectively became one in the course of his term of office. But this idea that we have to elect people that check these boxes theologically. My question is, do they check the boxes that Jenna and I are talking about? Do they understand the moral basis for freedom? Do they understand the limits of legislation? Do they understand the limits of their own power? Do they understand all these things? Do they know that the unborn are human beings? And are they trying to get judges in place to overturn Roe v. Wade? These are the kinds of things that matter. And so when people say, as someone said recently, when we get back from the break, we'll talk about it, that you can't vote for Vivek Ramaswani because he's a Hindu. I thought we need to talk about that. We'll talk about that with Jenna Ellis. Don't go away. Welcome back. Talking to Jenna Ellis, Jenna, a friend of ours has said that you can't vote for Vivek Ramaswani, who is a GOP candidate because he's a Hindu. Now, I won't vote for him because he's not Donald Trump. But the idea that you can't vote for Vivek Ramaswani because he's a Hindu, I think to myself, first of all, is he a Hindu when people use these terms? It's kind of like when George Bush the first says, I'm a Christian. Are you? You know, these are meaningless terms. Obama said he was a Christian when when politicians throw these terms around. I want to see how you're going to govern. I want to see what your policies are. I don't really care, you know, what boxes you tick off your version of the atonement or your view of the filioque clause in the creed. I don't care. I care about how you behave. It's like I'm going to I'm going to hire a pilot. It's like it's nice if he's a Christian, but I want to hear about his credentials as a pilot. So go ahead. Yeah. And with respect to our mutual friend, who is a Catholic, would she prefer Joe Biden, a Catholic over Vivek Ramaswani? Who is a Hindu? I mean, no way. So I don't think that that is the measure of how good you are going to do in office with the limited power under our U.S. Constitution. Now, Vivek Ramaswami is a Hindu, and he defines that basically as panentheistic, which is that God is in everything. We all have a spirit of God in us, and that is false theology. And so I by no means am saying that the religion is mirroring the truth of the gospel of Christ. And I pray for him to come into a saving knowledge of Christ. But his view of government and understanding the limiting principles of our U.S. Constitution is solid. And I would, as a Christian, vote for the Vivek Ramaswami well over and above Joe Biden, who says that he's a Catholic and is for all of these crazy, ridiculous, progressive social issues. And that, I believe, is exercising my right and duty as an American citizen to vote in the best, most biblical way possible. The Bible does not forbid us to not vote for people who aren't Christians. What it does is tell us through wisdom, we have to discharge our duty in the best way possible. And also, I want to be clear, folks, when someone I said this when I spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2012, when someone says they're a Christian, I want to be really clear. That's effectively a totally meaningless statement. Barack Obama said he was a Christian. Joe Biden says he's a Catholic Christian. If you don't laugh at that, I mean, how can you be a Catholic Christian and be utterly pro abortion, pro transgender lunacy, pro Marxist, which is atheist? I mean, when someone says I am a this or that, show me the money, show me where you dare make the claim that you're some kind of a Christian. We know that Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi and folks like that, they only say that they're Catholic to get Catholic votes. And there are dumb Catholic people who will vote for them because they say, well, he's a Catholic. He is as Catholic as Vivek Ramaswamy is Catholic. I want to be really clear about that. Jenna just got seconds left. I'll give you the last word. Well, as a good friend of ours, Mark Hall, who is the singer of lead singer Casting Crowns, once said, you can say what you think, but you'll always live what you genuinely believe. We need to be looking at these people's lives and how they actually live, not just what they say they think, because politicians can lie all the time. Well, and it gets us back to a lot of the pastors we've been talking about, a lot of pastors, not just people who claim to be Christians, but actual pastors themselves are behaving in ways and saying things that are not biblical. They're confused. People can be deeply confused. We need to look at what they really believe. We need to look at their actions. We need to to to try to figure out is what they're saying actually consonant with what I believe the Bible says or with what I think is true. Jenna, we don't have enough time, but we'll have to get you back. How can people find you? Thank you. The Jenna Ellis Show dot com and also on American Family Radio Network.

Jana Ellis, we're talking about some pretty important stuff here. We're talking about the film The Essential Church. People can check it out at the Essential Church at Essential Church movie dot com. But this is fundamental stuff that we have drifted from over the decades in America. So that many, many, many in the church, as I talk about wherever I go, have failed to understand that our rights come from God and that God expects us to stand firmly against the government when the government is trying to push us around and in effect, take the place of God and also firmly stand with the government when they are legislating truth and moral law. One of the biggest problems that I see is the rise of more of a libertarian bent and good, well-meaning Christians who don't want a tyrannical, over-infringing society, just wanting to get rid of government altogether and saying that government is a necessary evil in society and rejecting the truth of the Bible, that God ordained civil government for our good. We see that in Micah six, eight. Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God. Justice, civil justice is part of the nature and character of God. And he does give limited power to the civil government to legislate that for our good and to enforce good. And Romans 13 talks about that extensively. And so when we as Christians are saying, yeah, we don't want an overreaching government. We can't then go to the complete opposite and say, just because I don't want the government telling me what to do, then I'm going to say, well, government has no legitimate authority to stop transgender surgeries on minors, to stop men from identifying as women, to stop the rise of so-called minor attracted persons, to say that, no, gay marriage is not a legitimate concept of marriage. And of course, the state shouldn't sanction that. And we need to be able to engage in these topics by saying, yes, there is a legislative parameter that that every government system does legislate morality. It's just whose morality are we talking about? And Christians cannot give up the moral high ground of saying that civil government has to reflect the nature and character of God. Otherwise, we're losing the argument before we even begin. And then we have no right in this country, according to the left, to say that the government should outlaw or should tell anyone what they can do in the privacy of their own home or maybe in the bathroom at Target or maybe in the context of education in a publicly funded school. We're losing all of these debates because we have seeded the fundamental biblical premise that all authority comes from God and that the civil government, when exercising their limited authority consistent with biblical principles, is a legitimate institution.

"If you understand the founding documents to get away from God, you might not talk about Jesus, you might not. But the point is that there is no question that every one of the founders, not just a handful of Christian founders, every one of the founders understood these ideas. They referred to nature's God. They referred to divine providence. A number of times in our founding documents, they acknowledge that our rights come from God. I mean, it's actually a shocking thing, Jenna, because there are many people that they're very uncomfortable with that, or they have to somehow they can't be originalists who believe in the Constitution because it makes them uncomfortable, this idea. But if you don't believe that our rights are derived by God from God, where would you think we get our rights or even the concept of rights? Where does the concept of rights come from if you shove God out of the equation? And how do you even start to define freedom and liberty and where the government's power begins and where it ends if you don't have an objective source for our individual rights? And our founders specifically said in the Declaration of Independence, which was unanimous well before we the people and a lot of people like to say, well, the Constitution doesn't mention God well before we the people. It was a unanimous this unanimous declaration that said exactly what you just described, Eric, that our rights come from God, our creator. And the sole purpose of government is to preserve and protect those rights. And so we were not built on a system of government that meant to have a pluralistic society, meaning there are different pathways and different relativistic views on how to get to good, how to define the measurable difference between right and wrong, good and evil, where the powers of government are derived from, where our rights are derived from. We were not meant we can we can certainly all have different opinions. But in terms of the jurisdiction of the state and its legitimate lawful authority, our founders specifically recognized that it was derived from God's ultimate authority. And I wrote about this in my book, The Legal Basis for a Moral Constitution, which is a guide for Christians to understand how we can advocate. And we have the only argument, the only sound and sufficient argument that, yes, the United States is a Christian nation because we were built on a recognition of truth. And truth is the person of the God of the Bible. Well, I think I didn't say it in my introduction of you or even in the introduction before you came on that you're a constitutional scholar, you you really understand this stuff deeply. And you did write a book called The Legal Basis for a Moral Constitution Constitution. So here's the thing that we need to say. And I think that Christians in particular have been guilty of not saying this and saying it boldly and often. We are a Christian nation that is not officially a Christian nation. In other words, because we have separation of church and state, because we can't have the establishment of religion, that doesn't make us a secular nation. But we are nonetheless, if you look at our founding documents, inescapably a Christian nation, because we couldn't have gotten where we were in terms of establishing these ideas of rights and liberty unless we had antecedent to that, a biblical view, which all of the founders did. Period. There's no escaping it. But what's interesting to me, Jenna, is that people who love the concept of liberty, freedom, America, they love they many of them don't like this idea. So they just ignore this and they kind of say, well, we can get what we want without having to acknowledge that. But there is no way to do that. And I think folks on our side have been a little too shy in explaining that, listen, folks, you've got a problem. You cannot get what you want, the liberty you want without this. You can fake it, but you're never going to make it. You can you can you can have a reasonably free society. But this is like math. Let's let's go over to the math. Let's go to the chalkboard and let's look. There's no way you get there from here. And it's vital people understand this. We're going to be back more with Jenna Ellis. Folks, don't go away. Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night. I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal. And I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated Relief Factor for them selected the four best ingredients. Yes, 100 percent drug free ingredients. And each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief.

"Welcome back. I'm talking to Jenna Ellis. Jenna, you were just launching into something that's at the heart of all of this. This misunderstanding of the separation of church and state. It's up to the people freely to choose where they want to go to church, whether they want to go to church. That's all utterly up to us because we're a free people. And that, as you were just saying or beginning to say, has been completely twisted in the opposite direction so that most people, including pastors, don't understand what it even means. Right. The separation of church and state is a jurisdictional question. This means that the jurisdiction of the civil government is different than the jurisdiction of the church. It doesn't mean that there are no overlapping principles in terms of the Christian, the individual's engagement in the civil government and engagement in the church government and also engagement in the family government. We know that all authority is God's and God's alone. And he delegates limited authority to the institutions that he has ordained the civil government, the church government and the family government. There are different jurisdictions. And where we get into trouble all throughout history is when we want to have these co-ordinate institutions subordinate one to the other. And so if the church subordinates to the state in terms of their rightful jurisdiction, the state is then infringing upon religious freedom, just like if the individual is subordinate in terms of parental rights, in terms of family issues to the state where there is no jurisdiction for the state to tell a parent how to raise their child in the fear and admonition of the Lord, then they are subordinating to an illegitimate jurisdiction and illegitimate power claim. So the separation of church and state is a jurisdictional question. And what this film, The Essential Church, really makes very clear is that these are coordinate institutions ultimately under God's full authority. And we have to, as Romans 13 says, give unto Caesar the civil government. What is Caesar's and given to God the church government? What is God's? We keep them separate, but we recognize they are both under the full authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, when you say that, we as Christians know that. But obviously, there are many Americans that wouldn't think of it that way. But it is still impossible.

"Well, it's interesting because I sometimes think that non-Christians get this better than Christians, right? That if you are a patriot, you understand the uniqueness of the American model of freedom, that we are utterly free and that the government has no say in pushing us around because we are the government. And so we have this, you know, modicum of government established to help us to do stuff like pave roads and protect the country and so on and so forth. But this idea of freedom has evaporated over the decades so that many in the church have become complicit and were complicit in rolling over when the government, particularly really vicious anti church figures like Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, they really took advantage of their power. And, you know, as I say, to some extent, in my book, Letter to the American Church, you you have a parallel with what happened in Germany, because in Germany, the church was not was similarly unprepared. Now they have less of an excuse. I'm sorry, they have more of an excuse than we do because they didn't have separation of church and state. They didn't have the constitution that we have. They didn't have the founding vision that we have. But the pastors in Germany, when when the Nazis tried to take over, they kind of thought, oh, I guess we're supposed Romans 13. Yeah, that's it. Romans 13. Go along with them. Just preach the gospel. Don't get involved. Don't be divisive. They all read that memo, which, of course, is not biblical. And then the nightmare, the nightmare that happened in that country. You know, it's the warning to the whole world, and yet we in this country effectively did the same thing. Churches and there are still pastors today now who would argue with us, who would say we're not supposed to be political. That's political. We're supposed to go along. We want to be a good witness. We don't want to argue with it. And, you know, there's always truth in every lie. There's truth in that. But ultimately, it's wrong. Absolutely. And the film documents some of these pastors like Andy Stanley, for example, who said, Well, this is all about loving your neighbor to shut down your church. And the Bible doesn't command us to come together and worship, which is just totally false. And the Bible specifically says to not forsake the assembling of yourselves together in the ecclesia. But you mentioned the separation of church and state, Eric. And that is one of the worst lies that Christians believe in, that we should just reject. OK, well, we've got plenty more time with with with Jenna Ellis. So forgive me, Jenna. We're going to go to a break. We'll be right back to continue this conversation. Very important conversation, folks. Don't go away.

"Pastor MacArthur did very bravely. Pastor Che on did in California. Pastor Rob McCoy, Pastor Jack Hibbs and a number of others. Mike McClure in the San Jose, San Francisco County area, they really risked everything. But most pastors in America did not. Now, again, I know some did. But to me, there there's a reckoning. In other words, what I seem to notice is that the churches that invite me to speak on my book Letter to the American Church and on the very subject we're discussing now tend to be churches that were very brave during this time. And almost every one of these churches tells me the same story, that their numbers have tripled and quadrupled because they took this stand. Whereas the churches that said, Oh, you know, this is not our battle. We're just going to go along with whatever the government tells us to do, that they're that they're suffering. Don't you find it amazing that so few heroes stood up like Pastor MacArthur? Because I really I guess this was a test for the church. That's how I see it. And I feel that basically the church failed. So here's a story in the film The Essential Church. And I hope folks, you will go to the essential church movie dot com and see the film and maybe invite your pastor or invite Christian friends, because we have to understand what we just lived through and we have to make sure that we don't. This is a battle that we have to continually fight. Absolutely. And perfectly said, Eric. And this is exactly why Pastor MacArthur and Grace Community Church made this documentary, because it also shows where the church has had to stand up against the encroachment from the state, trying to tell the church when, where and how it could or could not worship throughout a church history. And so it actually shows as well the Scottish Covenanters, their stories and some of the faithful in the whole context of church history that have stood firm that Christ, not Caesar, is the head of the church. And why this moment in American church's history and also Canada's churches and churches across the world during 2020, why this was our moment to stand firm in our time. And Pastor MacArthur said in an interview that I did with him on my show and also in introducing this film, I was actually blessed to be out in Los Angeles with him in his church, showing this to his congregation for the first time. And he said in opening this film, he said, I hope that pastors who didn't open their church will feel guilty when they watch this. And I hope that that's true, because this isn't just about covid. It's not just about what you think about the pandemic, what you think about the vaccine. This is all about what you think about the definition of whose church we're talking about. Is this the Church of Jesus Christ? And he is the head of the church. And he is the only one who tells Christians how we should worship or are we subservient to the state? And there is a great about 30 minutes in this film that goes through how the the elders of Grace Community Church tried to reconcile opening their church in opposition and defiance of the government at that time with Romans 13, which, of course, says that we should give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, but also give unto God what is God's. And I think one of the best aspects of this film is the reinforcement, not only the truth of the gospel of Christ, but also the truth about why the church is essential and why we believe in church polity, why we believe that Christ is the head of the church and that we are not in any way subservient to the state on matters of worship and matters of the nature of the church and its doctrines.

"Well, you wonder why I always dress in black. Hey there, folks, welcome back. I have my friend Jenna Ellis as my first guest today. Jenna, welcome. Great to join you again, Eric. And welcome back stateside. I was following you on Instagram and totally jealous of your excursions over in Europe. So look, I get a fantastic time. I'm glad I'm glad that it had that effect. That's the that's always the goal is to present just those things, to curate it in such a way that people think like, wow, how amazing. It's it's a false image of the reality, but it was a blessing. It wasn't long enough, I got to be honest. It was it was really not long enough, but that's OK. I want to talk to you about a couple of things. First of all, we haven't yet aired. I interviewed John MacArthur, the great pastor John MacArthur, about a film called The Essential Church. I wanted to talk to you a little bit about that, because you were in the middle of that story now for my audience who doesn't know the story. Tell tell my audience the story of what happened with John MacArthur's church and how you got involved. We've talked about a little bit in the past, but just it's now a film called The Essential Church. Yeah, it's an amazing movie and it's out in theaters now. You can go to Essential Church movie dot com to find where it's playing in a theater near you. But really, this is a documentary that shows the sovereignty of God in the midst of the covid pandemic, when so many Democrats like Gavin Newsom in the state of California were discriminating against churches and trying to force churches to close their doors and shut down worship under the the emergency powers that were given to governors at the time where they deem churches nonessential. And so this is, of course, when the marijuana dispensary strip clubs, casinos, big box stores, all of those were open and that was fine. But churches had to shut down. And so John MacArthur stood firm and he said, no, we are opening our church. And he was threatened by Los Angeles County and Gavin Newsom, the state of California, with penalties that could have been in the millions of dollars and also with jail time. And he simply stood firm and said no. And so I got involved as the lead counsel, along with my colleagues at the Thomas Moore Society, who did an absolutely excellent job with this case. And we represented him and actually went on the offensive and said, no, you first have to prove a governor Newsom and L.A. County health officials that your covid mandates are constitutionally sound before you can try to hold Pastor MacArthur in contempt of this type of order. So really, it was a full vindication, ultimately, of his constitutionally protected First Amendment freedoms and liberties. And this shows you in context in this film why it is so important that we stand firm, not only that the church is essential, that Christ is the head of the church, not the government, not the state, but also why here in America we need to protect our liberties that our founders through the Constitution have given us, because the documentary also, Eric, shows the stories of two Canadian pastors who actually were jailed for over 30 days in the midst of the covid pandemic or the alleged pandemic because they chose to open their churches. Well, you know, this brings up the uncomfortable subject of those churches that did not stand up bravely.

We have, as my guests today, two friends, Jenna Ellis and John Zmiraq. We'll talk to Jenna Ellis first. We'll talk to John Zmiraq second. And I want to say to that, you know, when I have a guest on this program, it doesn't mean that I agree with them on everything except for John Zmiraq. No, actually, it's interesting because John Zmiraq, just last week, we were talking to John Zmiraq's very dear friend, Jason Jones, who has a different take on what our approach should be to Ukraine. And on this program, we want to offer a number of points of view. We don't claim to have monopoly on the truth. We're just trying to get at the truth because we believe there is such a thing as truth. Jenna Ellis, for example, has come out for DeSantis. We won't be discussing that on the program. I disagree with her on that. I think Trump is the guy, but I like to have people on the program that don't agree with me on everything. You know why? Because it's impossible to get people as guests who agree with me on everything. And I'm just fine with that. I want to be friends with a wide variety of people. And that's that's just a joy. Really? Yeah, absolutely. In New York, there's a thing with pizza. You got people talking about pizza. Everyone's going to argue like where to go for the best slice, the best pie. And there are, you know, I will not compromise on that, my friend. That is something I will not compromise. I'm saying is there there are some really good alternative opinions on these things, but, you know, but not on that issue. Well, not on that issue. And I don't ever want to guest on this program who disagrees with me on where the best pizza is. I don't know where it is, but whatever I think that is law when it comes to pizza. OK, Chris, I got to I got to tell you something. I wanted you to come on to talk to me about we're raising money before we get to Jenna Ellis, before we get to John's Mirack. We're doing a fundraiser for Food for the Poor. Ladies and gentlemen, we need your help. We have a goal of forty thousand dollars. OK. We're over a week into this now. We've raised about three thousand four hundred and something dollars. I need everybody to step up. OK. I want to I want to be clear of why we're raising this money. First of all, everybody has to give something to something. OK. We know that God wants us to give though to people and organizations that are good stewards. Right. You know, you don't want to give money to the guy in the corner who's going to use it for heroin. No, you don't. We have to be good stewards of where we give our money. We have to understand where our money is going, or at least we have to do our best. So the reason we ally ourselves with Food for the Poor and do a campaign with them every summer is because we know they get it done. They stretch your dollar very, very far. And they're doing something we believe in. They're openly Christian and they are helping people in the Caribbean, in Latin America who are in countries, parts of the world that are typically impoverished, struggling, but also that every year have to deal with what we call hurricane season. And we are on the verge of hurricane season. And the experts have said this one will be worse than normal. And so there are tons of people who are living difficult lives who are going to have a much harder time when these hurricanes hit. It's a disruption of food supplies. Clean water will become scarce. Houses will be destroyed. This is going to happen, right? I mean, they're already dealing with difficulties, but we know Food for the Poor says we know that this is going to happen. We don't know exactly where, but we want to be ready. That's why we're doing the campaign with your listeners, Eric, in August. So, folks, we need you to step up. The 17 countries that Food for the Poor serves in the Caribbean and Latin America are headed into danger from hurricanes. And we need to be prepared right now. So we want to ask you to go to Metaxas Talk dot com and make a donation as these communities recover from what is about to happen. Permanent housing solutions are a vital part of rebuilding their lives. So now one of the folks who has personally seen this on the ground, who's seen the great work of Food for the Poor is Dallas broadcaster John Hudson, we've got a clip from John who can fill us in. Let's play that clip. It's not us over here and them over there, but it's all of us collectively. For a moment, we get to live life together. And the cool thing is I saw Food for the Poor and what they did, where our money goes. And it was a beautiful thing that impacted my life in such a great way that I can't wait to go back because I believe in what Food for the Poor does. I've seen it with my own eyes. And it really is a part of my heart and a part of my life now. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you can be a part of this. And I always say this. It doesn't matter what you give. Everybody is different. Some people, you know, and even how you give, I was checking. It says that we've had a number of people call on the phone. So if you want to call, the number is eight, four, four, eight, six, three. Hope eight, four, four, eight, six, three hope. We've had almost twice as many people text. If you prefer to text, you text the word Eric. That happens to be my first name coincidence. You text Eric to nine one nine nine nine nine one nine nine nine. Something will pop up and you can give there and you can give a few dollars. You can give whatever you want to give or if you want to pick up the phone. Some people do that eight, four, four, eight, six, three. I mentioned that eight, four, four, eight, six, three. Hope most people give via the Web. You have to go to Metaxas talk dot com. I think you can spell Metaxas talk dot com. But we really need everyone to participate. And Eric, I was just going to say we actually just got an email today and someone wants to give by check, which is OK. Now, if you if you if you want to give a large amount, you want to give by check. Email us, folks. We need everybody's help. Now, there are people I know who can give ten thousand dollars or more. Anybody who can do that, this is tax deductible. I always throw this out there that I will give you an evening of my time. You know, you pick the restaurant, you pay the bill for the food, but you can invite who you want. It can just you and me or you and your your wife or you and your husband or you and your kids, or you can get a room of, you know, 20 people, whatever you want to do. The point is, I throw this out there. My time is increasingly valuable. I don't have a lot of time, but it's something I want to do to help food for the poor. So I put this out there. If it can encourage you to give ten thousand dollars or more. I'm happy to do that. We'll work it out whether you're in New York or I am in your neck of the woods. I travel all across the country, but a number of people have done this over the years and I've made some wonderful friends. It's just amazing. Some people who are very wealthy, some people who are not, but who give very sacrificially who want to do this. So I just want to throw that out there. Speaking of which, forty nine hundred dollars is the is the number to build a new house. There are going to be going to be people in this hurricane season. They're going to need a new home. Food for the poor steps up. And for what is very little money, forty nine hundred dollars builds a new home for these people. A hundred dollars gives them an emergency kit that includes tarps, the first aid kits.

Now, if you if you if you want to give a large amount, you want to give by check. Email us, folks. We need everybody's help. Now, there are people I know who can give ten thousand dollars or more. Anybody who can do that, this is tax deductible. I always throw this out there that I will give you an evening of my time. You know, you pick the restaurant, you pay the bill for the food, but you can invite who you want. It can just you and me or you and your your wife or you and your husband or you and your kids, or you can get a room of, you know, 20 people, whatever you want to do. The point is, I throw this out there. My time is increasingly valuable. I don't have a lot of time, but it's something I want to do to help food for the poor. So I put this out there. If it can encourage you to give ten thousand dollars or more. I'm happy to do that. We'll work it out whether you're in New York or I am in your neck of the woods. I travel all across the country, but a number of people have done this over the years and I've made some wonderful friends. It's just amazing. Some people who are very wealthy, some people who are not, but who give very sacrificially who want to do this. So I just want to throw that out there. Speaking of which, forty nine hundred dollars is the is the number to build a new house. There are going to be going to be people in this hurricane season. They're going to need a new home. Food for the poor steps up. And for what is very little money, forty nine hundred dollars builds a new home for these people. A hundred dollars gives them an emergency kit that includes tarps, the first aid kits.

Pakistan's Economy on the Brink of Collapse
"There is a Wall Street Journal editorial. One more, one more international, but this came to me from news items by John Ellis this morning. It's my early warning system for international crises. It's the morning E newsletter with the news items that happen from all around the world. All of Ellis sources, Pakistan has reached an inflection point. I didn't know this. Food inflation is at a record high of 47%. Overall inflation hovered around 35% through March and April. Earlier this month, the country's Central Bank raised interest rates to 21%. A country that not too long ago exported wheat is now an importer thanks to last year's floods. Fuel prices have soared to unimaginable highs, industry chiefs have expressed worry that curbs on imports and withdrawal of subsidies for an electricity. Necessitated by Pakistan's dwindling foreign exchange reserves, amid conditions demanded by the IMF before a rescue package can be implemented, are threatening to bring industrial production to a halt.

Former Trump lawyer censured for falsehoods about election
"A former attorney for Donald Trump's campaign has been centered in the state of Colorado. For repeating false statements about the outcome of the 2020 election. Attorney Jenna Ellis is a prominent conservative media voice. In addition to representing Donald Trump's unsuccessful reelection campaign. According to the censure document, she admitted making ten misrepresentations on TV and Twitter. After the 2020 election, including saying on Fox, that there were half a million illegally cast votes in Arizona, and claiming on newsmax. We know the election was stolen from president Trump and we can prove it. Ellis is one of about ten pro Trump attorneys penalized for efforts to have the 2020 results overturned. On Twitter, she called the censure politically motivated by Democrats and notes she gets to keep her license to practice law. I'm Jackie Quinn

3D Printed Rocket-Rocket intro and wrap
"A rocket made by the world's largest metal 3D printer is set to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this week. The terran one rocket is made by a company called relativity space CEO Tim Ellis says it's 85% 3D printed. We have our own in-house team that has designed this rocket from a blank piece of paper. We've built around rocket engines, we've built our own factory with the world's largest metal 3D printers, our own custom aluminum alloys, the rocket is only 110 feet tall, smaller than the Atlas and falcon 9 rockets. It is the largest 3D printed object in the world out of metal also. This is the first potentially first rocket to use liquid oxygen and liquid methane propellants, which are the propellants of the future for what will be reusable rockets, despite its small size, the terran one rocket is capable of lifting more than 4000 pounds into low earth orbit.

Dr. Jerry Newcombe on 'The Road to Independence'
"A piece of tape here. It is from doctor Newcomb's a film that he helped produce, cut 47, the road to independence. Please play cut 47. The great awakening was a spiritual movement with political consequences. It reached its zenith with George whitfield, but this powerful series of religious revivals all began with a humble calvinist minister named Jonathan Edwards. His life and his preaching helped bring about what's called the first great awakening in America. That led to the Salvation of up to half of the south and one third of the north. The ideas of the awakening as historians say laid the foundations for what became the revolution, the awakening was the sowing the seeds for what became the freedom of the revolution. So I'm a great admirer of whitfield and Americans should appreciate his immense contribution. Anyone who's able to get Oz Guinness in a documentary or a film deserves great credit. Doctor newcombe, how do we watch that film and tell us more about it? Thank you very much. And there are other great guests too also in this whole series. Dennis prager and rabbi Daniel lapin and Janet Ellis and Eric metaxas, and my good friend, Bill Federer. And as well as Bill Peter low back. Yeah, he is, Bill, Bill is one of a kind. In fact, I remember when Bill and I first started to get to know each other in the early 2000s. And I said to him one time, we were walking on the streets of St. Louis. That's where he used to live. And I said, you know, Bill, the more you study, America's true history, the more you realize how the Christian faith, the Bible, played such an incredible pivotal role.

The New York Times Defies Big Trans?
"Which is the gay and lesbian alliance against defamation. Got it against Stephanie. Okay. So glad has launched a campaign to go after The New York Times. Now, people ask all the time, Charlie, how are we going to win? Part of the strategy for our victory is to just wait it out and let the left fight amongst themselves. It's just a matter of time. And that is exactly what is happening between Glaad and The New York Times. The New York Times, which is a rag, and is a propagandist paper, which just as a fact, though, is not as bad as The Washington Post. You got to be fair. They are not as bad as The Washington Post. Having dealt with them both, there's a little bit more of a micron of truth, oh, by the way, this also ties in Marco Rubio has a new bill that would ban most trans people from the U.S. Military. Good for you, Marco, I fully support that. That's exactly right. That's exactly what we need. Draw a line in the sand and stop putting up with this garbage. Which, by the way, was the rule back when we actually used to win wars and not shoot balloons out of the sky with hypersonic heat missiles and miss one of them. 50% success rate. Okay, so glad sends this letter to The New York Times. And says to The New York Times, hey, stop the right wing coverage of the trans issue. Literally glad tells The New York Times, where is this quote? Oh yeah, glad. We have had enough, said Glaad president CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, quote, The New York Times and accurate biased coverage has been cited in legal documents used to justify discrimination and targeting of trans people.

I want to explain it to you because last night that fetching missed a Hewitt who had listened to my interview with chip Roy, I said, what? What is going on here? And I said, you know, most of America is going to end up asking what is going on here, especially when The New York Times and The Washington Post, but most recently, The New York Times this morning has a story out on the debt limit crisis. And yesterday I wrote a column on the debt limit crisis, and I talked to chip Roy about the debt limit crisis last week.

Jenna Ellis: Precedence Is Being Ignored for President Trump
"Isn't that always the case where they are treating president Trump differently than every other prior and even the current president And that is what is so frustrating to so many people who are not only just Trump supporters but people like me and you who understand that the rule of law needs to remain intact in the rule of law means that you can't be biased whether the name of the former president is Clinton versus Trump It should be the same precedent And yet you're right they're making this out to be some literally federal crime here when they're ignoring all past precedent they're ignoring even the extraordinary measure to have an FBI raid I mean president Trump said in Pennsylvania last weekend that they even went in and searched his minor sons bedroom I mean this is just so far beyond the pale And yet these types of precedents are not being used and now these leftist groups are actually filing ethics complaints against judge canon to say that somehow she's an accessory of obstruction simply because she pointed a special master I mean this is weaponizing the justice system and the law enforcement in a way that we have never seen in the United States of America and regardless of whether you're a Democrat or a Republican or anywhere on the political spectrum If you are an American you should not be okay with this

Because that's the only thing that gives them power to a part of something but these are the people that we have to deal with our community every single day and forcing laws. This is why we have the issues we have. I know they had nothing to do with the question but it really reminded me of what we talked about a few days ago of. What type of people are becoming police officers sometimes. It's the type of people who they claim to be the bad apples. But these are people that need psyche vows. Why are you becoming a police officer if you don't like people if you're not sociable if you don't know what you wanna do yourself don't have a sense of purpose to we give this person a gun and tell them police people. We don't know dan that's a whole another. Podcast is no and the reason why. Because he said he's to enlist in the air hit. No you're right. What happens force right. And he also says he doesn't know if he's going to like who will turn into or become after being in the millenarian. I need to talk to him. Because i want to know. Why did you enlist in the military.

So it sounds like the type of person that knows they want structure but also wanna be a part of something You want to be a part of something. Whatever that culture is you start to believe in and you become dangerous for people who don't know what to be or how to be and that it's become a cult because part of a culture that's so toxic you know what i'm saying. So that's why. I brought the whole police officer thing but i mean person at least has described some people i know now who are cops like and it's not even like a white or black thing. People think that when we talk about a police officer is a white police officer. No there are black orange brown purple police officers who've now believe in that ideology but now given a weapon and some power and now we as black people in our committees have to deal with those people. What i would tell young man is find out who you are. I i was get some therapy because it's fem to talk so much about himself this way and do so much self loathing. I think he has some issues. He needs to deal with a purpose to know a lot of times. You think about what drives someone. What gives them that passionate that desire like we each had a desire to do something you know and then we manifested in the work towards it. It's hard when you don't have a purpose and you don't know why you're like. Why are you putting here on this on this earth. What are you supposed to accomplish who you're supposed to touch. What are you trying to achieve. So i think that's what he's lacking here now. He's sending every telling us everything that he knows that he is or isn't but what fuels you i think he has to really do some soul-searching to figure that out i agree. Yeah can you. The squad to yeah. You got moscow. He needs some people around him to help them. Sometimes uplift does are usually not all you name but that's part of it. Oh yeah. I feel like he really needs a squad people he comported to and they can pour back into him and help him out like we bounce ideas off each other time Like with the book right right right right right true you bounce ideas you find out what's good was not good but you have to have people in your corner who are supportive. It sounds to me. Like he's a loner Feel relationship raise. It sounds like he's alone so we'd be hard for them to find the squad. I just don't want him because he also said he doesn't know what else to do. In this capitalist society which means he is aware of. What's going on around him. The one thing i would not want him to do it just to go into a system in buying into whatever that system is you know especially with so many of these systems are sexists racist. Also even though they're not capitalists but they're also had their own issues with a within our societies. Well so hopefully good luck in burpee and find a squad first before you buy anything. That's the fact. All right number. Two i love your show and you both are such an inspiration to me. Keep shining the way you do. Thank you. I've heard say delusional quality that all successful people have a lot on the podcast. And just wanna know. How do you train yourself to be delusional. I work my job hustle for my dreams. But sometimes i get tired and fearful and even insecure. What did you both do while coming into your success on a regular basis to stay committed to the belief that you could do be in. Have everything that you want. How can i do the same It's funny because i don't know if you can necessarily train yourself to be delusional. I think that delusional quality that devour refers to is very innate. There's like a fire. There's a passion that belief in oneself. That's the manifestation saying anything. I do anything i say anything. I can be anything i want so i think a part of that is innate. What do believe that there are spaces and there are things in. There are goals or dreams then also to can make you delusional innocence to like almost seeing something like for example crystal you being a background on a show. And then seeing you know. Whoopi goldberg or whoever onset while you're styling and you're just like man i can. I feel like i could do that. Can be that. It's almost tangible for you. And then you know. What do you guys think i agree..

Wow so this is the reason why both of you because your stories are so different Your story took like a decade. Yeah it did belief to now this conception of this inception of where it is now. Yours was like overnight and i want people to hear both sides because people think manifestation is one way know people think that. Oh if i manifest gotta happen tomorrow. Some people think that it has to be a hard arduous process. but it isn't. It's just whatever your process is your process. Yeah so can do when you were going through this process where you ever like worried that it wasn't gonna work out or you will just like definitely the whole time preparing to go to la. I was nervous. Because i always say this. I was scared of losing the fifteenth. In the thirtieth. That's the days. I get paid every also benefits health benefits so mike. How am i gonna do this. And how am i going to afford to live there. But i still saying i'm going i'm going. I don't care figuring hat those fears. But i was going outside. I figured it out and like you said this fire. That's up under you. And as much as i was saying what if what if what if it never stopped me from packing my boxes and saying that i was i think i just got to a point to where i just stop having fear and it's actually really tapping into faith and i didn't do that until my thirties will. I was thirty. Yeah that's the one i. I was thirty before that. I was not happening in our here. Even though you say. But i actually started believing and when i did i just had. It was like he had his hand. My back like you going regardless you ask for you. Go and i just was believing so you would say it was like pretty much solely your faith that drove that mandela. Definitely you but you had times where you second. Guess yourself because i get a lot of dmz emails from people. Saying hey. I really want to do this. But i don't know if. I is me second guessing myself saying is the way of my my spirit telling me that this isn't for me or south appetizing. That what i think is. I felt those times But i had to like talk myself out of it. Had y'all ever felt a moment where you're like something is saying. I shouldn't do this where you have to verbally say allow like no. I'm doing this 'cause. I've learned to do that when i work out bike when i wanna quit at the end. And there's this heart i'll say to myself let's go let's go l. as you've got this and when i verbally speak it then i feel that energy com had there been moments vr. We had to do that honestly. We'll definitely yeah. Yeah i will say that are coming to our like is times. I wanted to tell our to do it. I don't think i want to do this. But i just had to keep saying going you go on. But the bank radios. I don't wanna go. I don't wanna do. I don't wanna do. But i kept saying you going you going Going to l. a. Had this doubt it was no doubt ever. It was my only thing was. I'm scared of how going to afford it. That was the only thing. And i have people in my ear saying it's too expensive. Out there. Like my granddad. His to hundred people all these was too expensive. Oh not going in. And that's what made me wanna go. I was like. I gotta go see for myself very.

Thank you for who you are or what you do for using your voice to further the kingdom of god. When i think of you. I think one of my favorite quotes by any andrews and it says there are generations yet unborn. He's fearing lives will be shifted and shaped. Either you make and the actions you take today tomorrow the next day and the next asbury single theme new matters and i hope today's fresher for you and i hope that no that in the depth that your spirit that average movie new matters immensely and i think you when i received the message from misty inviting me to share with you on mindset as we prepare for the new year i said yes neatly and immediately i felt a having With a heavy question way on my heart you felt that question to following twenty twenty. How on earth do we move forward into twenty twenty one and a year where isolation division of violence in quarantine sickness and so much loss has literally brought us to our knees. How do forward from here. And as i sat with that heavy question on my heart i felt an answer. Rise up and the answer is mistake here at first out. What we can't stay your. What do you mean where. And i heard you stay here right here on our needs to move forward and a year where every imaginable and unimaginable theme has absolutely brought us to our knees. The only way that we can move forward into stay right here. On our needs fully bowed down fully surrender to christ. So what's burning in my spirit to share with you today. Is that perhaps. Perhaps the post twenty. Twenty posture must be the bowed posture. And perhaps that must out that is the most powerful posture for the year and four. Our lines psalm. Ninety five six. Oh come let us worship em out down. Let us kneel before the lord our maker as we wrap up this year and move into next year. We're going to begin seeing books that. Ask us our word for the year. And i hear jesus whispering and when i look at his life i see him showing us. That only victorious. Posture is the bowed posture. Our hats keys s could select our word for the year. It would be out and be searched the definition of bow. You'll see lots of results. One of them is the word. Yield you'll tastier at yalta way yield to his clan's you'll to his best yield to his word yield al but in our culture battling is absolutely foreign if you think about when is the last time you've seen someone l. When is the last time someone out to you. When is the last time you out to someone else. What are even feelings that rise up in you when you imagine bowing to someone else in our culture allowing foreign some how to do this. Why would we do this for these questions. Look to the life of jesus because he lived about life and very best. There's so much notice from look to the life of jesus and how he lived about life that out posture. So much of it can instruct empowers and help us as we move forward from here. Three really shine for as i was praying for you all and frame for.
