Alvin Bragg and His Bag of Tricks
"Manhattan's DA Manhattan DA Bragg is determined to snooker a grand jury into indicting Trump. Show me the man and I'll show you the crime was the infamous boast of Joseph Stalin's ruthless secret police chief, Lavrentiy Beria. His modus operandi was to target any man the Soviet dictator chose and then find or fabricate a crime against him. Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, has taken a page out of Stalin's playbook and targeted Donald Trump. Driven by personal and political animus, the DA presumed the former president must be guilty of something. It wasn't just a matter of devoting enough time and resources to hunt down the crime. Failing to find one Bragg copied berry is paradigm and simply dreamed one up.

Manhattan DA Bragg Takes a Page Out of Stalin's Playbook

Failing to find one Bragg copied berry is paradigm and simply dreamed one up. That is exactly what has happened. The man spent a hundred something thousand, I don't even remember what the sum is. To have a woman that he had a one night stand with, not say anything. And he's being charged with a felony. I know, well, you know, he didn't exactly report the fund as the business expense that he should have. I mean, my Friends, there was almost no person in business. No person, let's put it this way. Who earns an income who could not be indicted if somebody, I'm not saying convicted, all brag cares about is a mugshot.

Did Fox Shoot Down Tucker's J6 Footage? Joseph McBride Weighs In
"Joey, you mentioned this word and trap meant. And you also mentioned the uphill battle in which you're trying to navigate against swamp judges and swamp juries and the whole kind of contaminated D.C. environment. The question I have is this. I mean, it seems finally that there is new information coming out about January 6th. Tucker Carlson, of course, had some videos a week or so ago. Let me start with that because there was new information on the shaman guy Joseph a Jacob chansley, but there was then a sort of, as far as I could tell, an abrupt halt in the videos. I mean, if you have 40,000 hours of footage, it's preposterous to me that you'd find three clips. Speaking, honestly, do you think that Fox kind of got to Tucker and shut him down? Because expectations were so high. And while what was delivered, the first day was pretty impressive, it appears like what? That's it. There's nothing more. What are your thoughts about this? So my inclinations are, I think I share with the general public shares, right? Tucker's team is incredibly talented. They did in their defense have a limited time to go through the stuff we've been going through this stuff for two years. They had a few weeks, but within that time they were able to focus on Jacob chansley and lies about all the specific. I thought he did a good job there. I did think that on the second night that something distinctly different happened. There are different theories about that. One theory is that the producers of the higher ups at Fox News likely shut them down. I think that that makes sense. I can speak from experience and having gone on Tucker's show. You know, I had been over the target on his show with regard to some similar matters and I kind of got shot down too. And when you're over the target, people get very uncomfortable and the powers that be tend to pull the plug on situations like that.

Dinesh Interviews Attorney Joseph McBride About New J6 Info
"You released just a couple of days ago, really interesting document. In fact, I noticed a Julie Kelly commented, I've never seen this document before, and elaborate pre planning scheme by the capitol police for what was going to happen on January 6th. Talk a little bit about where you got the document and talk about the significance of it. What's in the document? So the good, to be honest, great to see you. And as always, very much appreciative. Of your work. So got the document about a year ago there and actually two documents. There's one that pertains to the Metropolitan Police department is another one that pertains to the capitol police. So the big one pertains to the Metropolitan Police department. That was given to me by somebody from the privates called the private world about a year ago. So the document had been circulating circulating, it was leaked. I obtained it through through pride and hints, and I sat on to it for sat on it for a while. Wondering, sort of seeing how the government was going to deal with it once it knew it was in circulation. And what did the government do? Apparently the government moves to have it suppressed, not maybe moved in court, but they made it subject to their protective order and what they did was they shielded it from the prying eyes of the public. Government should have never have done this, right? It's wrong. I obtained it through private hands that did not obtain it through the relatively database or anything like that. So I was wealthy my race to share it. I chose to share it at this time because the government has long been on the record saying that, you know, the idea that plainclothes officers were in the crowd on January 6th be the Metropolitan Police or capitol police was simply a lie that attorneys like myself or commentators and political journalists like yourself who made such a comment in that direction are peddling a conspiracy theories, nothing could have been further from the truth. This document unequally proves it. The capitol police document as well. It's about 20 pages, something like that. And the first paragraph of the page, they speak about concerns about antifa and in all of our trials, we've spoken about antifa at length. Judges have shut us down, prosecutors have mocked us, told us that it was a figment of our imagination. Imagination, and that our clients were lying, turns out the capitol police in the Metropolitan Police shared the same concerns as a Trump supporter who showed up with protective gear on January 6th.

Why You Have to Know Your Own Story
"I know you could probably look at Joseph's story and go, I don't have any kind of story like that. However, I bet you do. I bet you have those low points in those high points in your life that you don't often think about, but have made the story of your life, what it is. In fact, it's probably made you who you are today. And so I want you to not be afraid. I want you to not be afraid that perhaps these things might not mean anything, that they might just be wasted or purposeless. I want you to imagine that maybe just maybe trust me and risk that maybe these little parts of your life really mean something because God weighs nothing. It says in scripture that he works all things together for the good of those who love him and follow him and are called according to his purposes. So we know that there is a story being built for each of our lives. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, he has designed for you good works that he prepared and advanced for you to do. He has redeemed the dark moments of your life to mean something. That's what scripture promises is that it will mean something that it won't be wasted that nothing is wasted that he can work anything. Anything together for good.

God Has Plans for You
"Guys. It eventually will all make sense. And the story of Joseph shows us that. Joseph wasn't. Necessarily special as a human, although certainly he has an unbelievable story, God cares about you in the same way he cared about Joseph. He has set you in your place in the same way he set Joseph and his places. He has prepared good works in advance for you to do in the same way that God had good works prepared in advance for Joseph to do. So this is how God works. It's how he moves. It's the story that he builds in all of our lives. I think we miss it. And my prayer for this journey for us is that you would see what God is already doing, that you would see what God has already begun to build into your life.

Dr. Joseph Ladapo's View on Vaccine Adverse Events
"Anyway, I want to get to your very important statements here that you released. So tell us in a nutshell, the paper or statements that you just released about the effects of the COVID vaccine. Yes, Dennis, it's great to talk to you and I know we were talking a little bit ago, but I am really grateful that we got to meet and spend time together in California before we moved out here to Florida. So always a pleasure. I look forward to the next time, Dennis. Thank you. So last week, we released a statement and it was it was an analysis of vaccine adverse event reporting data from Florida. And what we showed was something that has been shown nationally. No one had looked at Florida before. But after introduction of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, there was a 1700 1700 percent increase in the adverse events reported. And a over a 4000 percent increase in the number of life threatening adverse events reported. And that's compared to a full 400% increase in the total number of vaccines given.

New Jersey Township's Elected Board Switches Political Parties
"Democrat mayor an entire New Jersey township council switches parties. From Democrat to Republican, this is the mayor and all four council members in New Jersey's east haven are hand over. I'm sorry. East handover township are switching from Democrats to Republican Party in a move. They say is the best interest of the community. The township have a population of about 11,100 people. Municipal leaders have a responsibility to best represent their constituents and it is our belief that change of party is in the best interest of the community. Mayor Joseph said, penult, I think it's. Maybe that's how you say it. That's what the mayor said on Tuesday. As the nastiness rhetoric and social media vitriol of national politicians of national politics continue to infiltrate local governance, we collectively determine this was the best course of action to keep our focus on local issues impacting our community. That's pretty interesting. It sounds like a cheap way to say we really want to switch because the Democrat party is lost their mind. I guess that's the easiest way to say it. But you know, I was speaking about this last night. I was at a Salem event after the event was over. You know, we had a little campfire and did some burnt offerings. And this is one of the subjects that we spoke about is the impact on how people are coming over to the party and what's the best way to do that. And I say the best way to get converts is to be honest. Be authentic, be yourself. That's it.

Joseph Curl: Statistics Joe Biden Will Ignore In His Speech
"Joseph Kerr over at the daily wires done a hell of a job of putting some basic statistics together that you will not hear tonight Let's start with inflation just a few months ago he says had a 40 year high December 2020 the last full month in office for president Trump The rate of inflation was 1.4% The average for the entire year was 1.2% In its first 6 months in office inflation went from 1.4 to 5.4% under Biden It's worse than 2022 Went to 9.1% last June The Biden is a highly skilled liar Inflation has fallen for 6 straight months all the way down to 6 and a half percent The average for 2022 is 8% Soaring from 1.2% in 2020 Now some people argue the president shouldn't take credit for a good economy so he certainly doesn't deserve blame for a bad one But in Biden's case he definitely deserves the blame Economists say Biden's pandemic relief policies including the American rescue plan exacerbated matters By giving Americans too much money to spend when goods and services and supplies were too low which drove prices higher rights PolitiFact It was Biden's most profound failure and policy era Douglas holtz eakin president of the center right American action forum told the fact checking site It was also the head of the CBO at one point Also ahead of the CBO Gasoline prices In addition to canceling the Keystone XL pipeline Biden also suspended new federal oil and gas leases Hike drilling fees on federal land and mandated that all federal vehicles be zero emissions

Dr. Jeff Myers: All Scripture Is Inspired by God
"Doctor Jeff Meyers truth changes everything. Should we just kind of do the Andy Stanley thing and just kind of say Matthew Mark Luke and John leviticus, you're a waste of time. To me, that's a grave mistake, Charlie. And I'm not here to pick theological fights, but the truth is, all of scripture is inspired by God, the apostle Paul said, and is profitable for teaching, correcting, rebuking and training and righteousness. He was not at that point as far as we can tell talking about Matthew Mark Luke and John. He was talking about the Old Testament. When you look at John, again, we were talking about John. We love the book of John. You read John chapter one. So powerful. John chapter one, Andrew goes to his brother Peter. It says we found the messiah, a little bit lighter, Philip goes to his body, Nathaniel, and says, we have found the one Moses wrote about in the law and so did the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph from Nazareth, and that's that famous passage Nathaniel says, can anything good come out of Nazareth? Like anybody who's watched the chosen would remember that that moment, but in that moment you realize these disciples believed that Jesus was the one who had been written about in the Torah and this all of these prophecies from all of time, which were known by everyday Jewish people, including fishermen, were coming true, and they were coming true in this man. You can not, I believe, understand Jesus unless you understand that he was a Jew. And that he studied Torah, how do we know that he studied tour because when he was 12 years of age, just before age 13, which would be the official and copernic or something? Well, he went his parents actually were in Jerusalem and they left because they thought he was in the crowd and they realized he wasn't there. He came back. And what was happening? Jesus was sitting with the teachers of the law. The scripture there is so fascinating. It says that they were amazed. He was asking questions and they were amazed at his answers. And everybody knows in education, the height of knowing a subject is if you can ask the right questions about it.

Thank you. Tell us about your book. How the book is a book about, yes, decision making and public health, but really more, frankly, about my own personal journey in terms of how I came to be able to speak honestly, even when it was very unpopular. And how the process that I personally went through to get there. So I wanted to share that for other people who might be interested in that path. And I talk about that in the book. Yeah, so tell us how you think that can apply now in a time where we have the most suicidal alcohol addicted drug addicted generation history. Walk us through some of the lessons in your book that you think can apply to the nation's young people. Oh, yeah. Well, that's a great, that's a great question. And I think really what, you know, when I talk about my book is how I went from being someone who was very disconnected, emotionally disconnected to myself to and very, very much fear written, very, very much running a frequency of fear. That was a major part of my life to being someone who was no longer living dominated by fear. I mean, I get scared every now and then, but it's no longer it doesn't define any of my decisions.

WHO Claims the Covid Emergency Is Not Over
"Play a piece of tape here and get your reaction. This is the WHO has decided that the COVID pandemic is not over, play cut too. The committee has advised me that, in its view, COVID-19 remains a global health emergency. And I agree. They need an emergency to stay in power, but also is that a way for them to continue to cover up what they have done. These last couple of years, if the crisis never over, how could you investigate the crisis? That's a good point. And notice how he's using the classic ploy of hiding behind a committee. Yes, that's exactly right. So that's the usual kind of bureaucrats. Shell game. Bobby Kennedy, you may recall on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, almost exactly a year ago, predicted exactly this. And was hammered by MSNBC for doing it and called a crazy, but he said outright if we don't force them to relinquish this power, they will carry it for as long as they possibly can. And he was dead on. And they're going to continue in this state of perpetual and ongoing emergency until we either force our hand and that kind of goes this idea of justice and the next kind of chess move.

"Okay, so the big news is for the first time ever, you guys are coming out with a movie. Yes. Okay. And that's a Christmas movie called I heard the bells. It is. And we are so beyond excited about it, and we can't believe it's finally here. Now, before we talk about that, which is the big news, the headline, I heard the bells, the film. You are also airing on TBN Joseph. We are. Now, and when is that airing? The 25th of November. Coming up here. It's coming up every day. November 25th on TBN at 8 and 10 p.m. Eastern Time, TBN is airing Joseph. So before we get into, I heard the bells this big Christmas movie. Tell us a little bit about Joseph because obviously this is in a few days. Yeah. So Joseph hasn't been live on one of our stages for quite some time, but it is one of my favorite shows that we produce. And one of my favorite stories. If you're familiar with the story, you know what happens. But watching Joseph B kind of torn apart from his family, the life that he leads and then the power of forgiveness and reuniting with his family for giving his brothers seeing his father again. It is just an incredibly moving story and one of my most favorites. So we're super excited to be partnering with TBN again. Okay, and so that is on November 25th. 8 and 10 p.m. Eastern Time, the story of Joseph. You don't want to miss that folks. You can't believe you really can't do it justice and describing it. Last time you were here, you were telling us about like, you know, 400,000 sheep or something. I mean, it was just like the exact numbers. So but my favorite part was that the animals have understudies. They do, 'cause they're just like people and they have bad days and sick days and doctors appointments just like we do. So under studies you're praying for a break, like if I could just get in there, show them what I could do. People think I'm a regular sheep. I'm not if I could just get up there on that stage and wow the audience and I'm going to go to the top. So typical, you know, they do. They steal the spotlight. It's just the way they are. So that's November 25th, 8 and 10 p.m.. And that's Joseph of the Technicolor dreamcoat fame. But okay, so the film, how is it that you all decided to make a film a Christmas film? This one is called, I heard the bells. Yeah. So from the very beginning, film has been a part of our story. My grandparents founded sight and sound. In many ways, by accident, but through using multimedia. It was a multimedia slideshow back in the 60s. They kind of helped us get our find our footing, if you will. And ever since then, media has been a part of what we do. So whether we are filming stage shows for things like broadcasting on TBN, or media in the actual shows themselves projection, giant LED screens, all these different elements that help to bring these stories to life. Media has been a part of what we've done. And as we felt the lord several years ago calling us to expand, we weren't sure at first truthfully, was it like, is it another location? What does this mean? What does this look like? And we really started to feel this call towards telling stories beyond the stage and beyond the Bible. There are so many historical true stories that are powerful. That are waiting to be told. And so this launch into Sight & Sound films, this new branch that we have launched this past year and our debut film I heard the bells is our first step towards that, what we feel like the lord is calling us towards in the future. Not that theaters is going.

"Well, the new book is Benedict, the 16th. We just got about a minute left. What is Benedict the 16th doing with himself these days? It's amazing to me that he's just turned 95. Well, he's clearly what is our eyes set for the finishing line. He's clearly now living a largely monastic prayer filled and prayerful last years of his life in order to please God attain the reward, all of us hope for, which is the eternal presence of I don't want to say the Jesus Christ in heaven. And that I think is something which we should be grateful for what he's done for us in the past, but I think should understand that he's got his eyes very firmly fixed on his own future at the moment and who can blame him for that. Do you know whether he's been writing in the last years? I think he's largely retired from such things. Do you think he's largely retired from such things? Because we always, we always wonder, well, just wonderful Joseph pierce to have you back again. I want to recommend all of your books to my audience and they can find most of them at ignatius press.

Say it again, Joe, J pierce. Dot CO, well, Jay Pearce, a joy to have you. God bless you, my friend. My pleasure. Thanks for having me. They thought it was just a few minutes left in today's show and Alban. Let me ask you a question. Yes, sir. Can you tell that I've had my wig freshened, yes. I didn't want to say anything because it can be embarrassing when you say you look extra special today. Yeah, and you know what it is. I think that because this is a radio program, tons of our listeners who don't see what we're doing, they wouldn't even know that I'm wearing a wig. But you know, a big wigged, gentleman is never ashamed of his wig. I say that. It's an aphorism. A bewigged gentleman is never ashamed of his wig. And I just want to be very, very clear that my wig has been freshened. And I feel delightful. Okay. You're welcome. You're well, well coiffed. Let's talk about some non wig issues since we just have a few minutes left today, folks. Tomorrow, which is Thursday, we do a fresh episode of ask metaxas, I'm excited about that, even though I have no idea what questions you're going to ask me.

I'm going to ask Catherine engelbrecht about it 2000 mules as the film that she's in. We also are going to be interviewing the guys from the Babylon bee. Oh, yeah. I believe is a satire website.

So they've gotten in trouble. They were like banned from Twitter. That's how Elon Musk kind of got sucked into the Twitter thing because of our friends at the Babylon bee. It's kind of wild, right? They interviewed him, yep. Also, I want to mention in the weeks ahead. We really have so many great guests. If you've read my book, is atheism dead. The chapters on sunlight and water, which are just insane. Most of that, I got from a guy named Michael Denton. He's with the discovery and studies written many, many books. He has a new book out.

"All right, now we get to the films. There's two films out. One is whose children are they. That talks about, I mean, again, it's amazing where we are in America, but the good news is that people are waking up and people are making films to help us understand what's going on. So the film whose children are they deals with this kind of communist takeover of our kids that the very idea that there are people in leadership in America who think I get to teach your kids what I want. I don't care what you think mister parent. Like you have no voice and you're thinking, wait a minute, I could have lived in East Germany 50 years ago and where they had that kind of attitude toward children and toward parents. But in America, so if you want to see that, well, go to Salem now dot com anyway because there's a ton of good stuff there. Salem. Now dot com, whose children are they. Salem now dot com, I believe eventually will carry 2000 mules. I don't think that they do now. Yeah, they only carry a thousand of them. That's a full boat. If you want to see 2000 mules, and seriously, you want to go to 2000 mules dot com. I've got to tell you folks. It's hard for me not to get emotional because this is, you know, I always say, if this is true, well, now I know it's true. I mean, I've known it's true, but the more you see the more clear it becomes. And so then the question is, at what point, what's the tipping point? At what point did people have to say, oh yeah, Galileo was right. At what point did it finally get to where they could no longer say shut up, don't ever talk about that. At what point does the truth come out? The truth is coming out, but it's vital for us to do our part in getting the truth out. So I want to ask you to go to 2000 mules dot com. I am in the film, but that's not why I'm telling you to go see it. I also want to tell you, finally, folks, is all kinds of stuff we can not share on this program, sometimes for legal reasons.

Well, he's clearly what is our eyes set firm or the finishing line. He's clearly now living a largely monastic prayer filled and prayerful last years of his life in order to please God attain the reward, all of us hope for, which is the eternal presence of all the saving Jesus Christ in heaven. And that, I think, is something which we should be grateful for what he's done first in the past. But I think should understand that he's got his eyes very firmly fixed on his own future at the moment and who can blame him for that. Do you know whether he's been writing in the last years? I think he's largely retired from such things. Do you think he's largely retired from such things? Because we always, we always wonder, well, just wonderful Joseph pierce to have you back again.

"Eric. Take a look at my girlfriend she's the only one I got. Folks, welcome back. I'm talking to Joseph pierce, PEA, RCE, who has a new book Benedict the 16th defender of the faith. We were just talking Joseph about your book on Oscar Wilde, and I thought it's an extraordinary thing, really, that all through the 20th century, we've had this battle really. It's between atheist Marxism and really the Christian worldview between truth and then what really is anti truth. And it's interesting to me how it's everywhere. I mean, you see it in literary studies. You see it in the academy. You see it in politics. You see it just about everywhere. And it seems to me that we're living in a clarifying moment where it has become, it is clearer that I think that a lot of people that were asleep or that could ignore it are less able to ignore it today. Yeah, a study is my hope that this will be a wake-up call to the silent and somnambulant sleepwalking majority. That we are fighting a battle here with the culture of death. In the dictatorship of relativism, so I am hopeful of that, but we do need to remember of course that there's never going to be a heaven on earth and nor will evil triumph over the church on earth, but really at the end of the world for each of us is when we die. And all we need to do is to be good and faithful servants in the relatively short period of time we want active service in the battle against evil here on earth because if we are good and faithful servants on active service in this life that we will gain the eternal victory, which is beyond the reach of all of this nonsense. Well, and it's interesting too because I think if you don't see it as a spiritual battle, then either you become some kind of utopian Ness, you're trying to win here, whether it's a win for Marxism and the devil or a win for Christian values, but you forget that in the end, we're in a perpetual battle and that we're supposed to have hope in the midst of the battle. I think that those who aren't kind of naive utopias are often defeated and grumpy. They just think that, well, it's all going to go to hell. Who cares? And because of that, they don't fight. They don't understand that we're called to be happy warriors in the midst of this, to speak the truth, knowing that there is someone hungry for it. And we may not know who it is. But I think it's important for us to have hope. And I think by reading these stories, it does give us hope. Souls and eats and I guess I have to say, is another one of those figures that you've written about, I mean, if anybody knew that he was in a battle, even when he came to the west, you know, after leaving the Soviet Union. And then really not to be received here. I mean, when he gave his speech in 1978, the famous Harvard commencement speech in The Rain, here you have this Old Testament prophet, in a sense, now being rejected by the west. He had been rejected by the Soviet atheist communists. Now he's being rejected by the materialists in the west. I don't remember if you write about that in your book on him about that period. My books above with your image takes it. When the first edition was published, he was still alive, but there was revised dish of the published after he died. The whole life. But yeah, there's a lot on the Harvard address. It was defining moment, basically for me, even to this day, for those that are old enough to remember it, it's the way that I test whether someone is reliable. If they agree with socialists as Harvard address, they really understand the heart rule of the problem. If they take some sort of progressive response that, well, communism was evil, but the west is good. By which I mean the sort of the modern secular west, not western civilization. Talking sorry, socialists and by the way, said, specifically to me, he said, I want you to make it clear that I'm not anti western. He said, if the iron kern had come down and the cream of western culture had come in over the top of western civilized culture, I would have rejoiced. He said, but what happened was the iron curtain came up and all the dregs of western decadence came in. Western materialism came in and it was that western decadence and that western materialism that he was pretty critiquing and criticizing in the Harvard address basically saying that we have two types of materialism here, both share the absence of God, both basically share materialistic understanding of the cosmos both communism and this western hedonism have their roots he said in the enlightenment. There's no question about that. And it's interesting to me that we're seeing those two strains come together to some extent. When you think about a big tech and the cancel culture in America today, it's fascinating because there's a lot of Chinese communism mixed in with it. It's about power. It's about all those things. And it's also materialistic. It is fascinating that we're seeing in a way the coming together of those two strains at this point, which I guess makes it a little bit clearer for some people. Yeah, I think it's good to not have a schizophrenic approach to the fight against evil. Many people did in the past that we sort of fought against one half of the evil, not the other half. I think we now see them as the same evil. And if it's the same evil, we can actually be defending ourselves from it without looking behind us..

"On. So how does somebody coming from a post modernist or critical theory point of view screw up Moby dick, for example? I mean, it's just amazing to me that it's some of these books doesn't seem possible to mess with them. But obviously they've tried. Well, you know what, I'm always reminded of the words of G.K. Chesterton. He said it doesn't matter how much he made the point of the story we stick out like a spike, the critics were going carefully and power themselves in something else. And that's exactly what these because they don't want to see what's really there. You know, the Jane Austen and again, three of her books are in the series. Now she's being a great philosopher, where she juxtaposes Pride and Prejudice because if you are motivated by pride and not humility, you will approach reality, including literary texts with the perspective, which is prejudiced. So these people bring their quiet and pledges to the text, and they don't see what's there, they see what they want to be there. Want to see this there, or they just condemn what is there? Well, I mean, it needs to be said that a lot of the authors you've mentioned particularly Jane Austen was a profound Christian. There's no way around it. Is there? No, there isn't. I bet it's amazing how particularly the introduction of multiple weathering a high spin instance, that the enemy Bronte was a parson's daughter and a lifelong practice and believe in Christian. And I spent the first half of the introduction to that text, exposing the critical nonsense where they try to turn her into just about everything except the Christian that she was. And based upon ignoring the facts, inventing the facts and misreading certain things she wrote. So I went through a meticulously destroyed that nonsense in order to get back to the veered author who was a profound lifelong practicing Christian. She's evident in the work. It's really amazing. What is the title of your Oscar Wilde book? My book's the unmasking of Oscar Wilde. And again, that was the mass of Oscar Wilde, you actually find deep down a life of somebody who had a lifelong love affair with the church. He was an unfaithful lover, he was a messed up human being, but when he was received into the Catholic Church on his deathbed, it was the consummation of a lifelong love affair. So what I wanted to do was to rescue Oscar Wilde from those who had made him a gay icon and a figure of the so called sexual liberation movement because he said, he said that my home is centrality was my pathology. My sickness. Now in some countries in Europe now, you can go to prison for saying that. They should send everyone to reading jail who says that. I got to tell you, your book, the unmasking of Oscar Wilde. I recommended it very, very often. It's a spectacular book, and it really is a very, very important correction. I mean, we're all you're doing in the book really is telling the truth, but it becomes a correction to the ridiculous lies that, as you say, wild himself would have protested against the portrayal of him as some proud libertine..

"Christ. And how did you as an angry, very young man stumble on any of these authors? Was it Chesterton the first one? How does a young man in the east part of London stumble on Chesterton? My goodness. Well, there's actually a panel which I turn in my book between my discovery of chapter ten the C. S. Lewis. When C. S. Lewis first met Chesterton during World War I, he was an atheist, but he couldn't help liking chestnuts and nonetheless when I first met Chesterton I was a white supremacist and I couldn't help like a chess that's a nonetheless. And both of us, what C. S. Lewis said, the chest had more common sense all the moderns put together, except of course, as Christianity. And that was my exact way belief. And so when I first read Lewis in supplies by joy speaking like this, then I said, I've got to find out who C. S. Lewis is because he's understanding a Chesterton is the same as mine. And then of course the start buying everything quite Lewis. So these two men especially GK chest turn and C. S. Lewis helped my hand let me on and again through that ties in my head as well as my heart. Again, this connection between faith and reason led me out of the darkness of the secularism and the hatred that basically in which I had lived since I was 15 years old into the light and truth of Jesus Christ. Did you have any inklings, no pun intended when you were a younger person before you were 15 that you had a literary bent because, you know, not every white supremacist is stumbling into Chesterton and Lewis. Well, I've always I've always been a writer. So I made a national poetry competition final when I was 9. And in the west supremacist movement, I edited my editing my first youth newspaper when I was 16. So it's part of what I am. I just thanks, that's what I was saying. I'm now hoping that the gifts I was given that I used so diabolically when I was a young man can now be used for the heavenly cause and undue perhaps some of the damage I did. I during my hate fielding pros. I think it's safe to say that that's happening. We're going to be right back talking to Joseph pierce, the new book Benedict the 16th. We'll be right back. Well, we rolled up interstate 44 like a rocket sled own rails. We tore up all of our swindle sheets and left them setting on escape. So I'm talking to Joseph pierce, who has a new book out called Benedict the 16th defender of the faith. He's the director of book publishing for the Augustine institute, he's a biographer, many books, his own book is race with the devil, my journey from racial hatred to rational love. You do have a love of Shakespeare and of literature in general. And I know that you have edited a series of books. Is that for ignatius? Who did you do that for? Yeah, that's the ignatius critical tissues and actually the story behind that Eric is I was teaching literature for avid reading university in Florida. And I was horrified by the radical feminism, anti Christianity, Marxism, creative theory, and the rest of it that was in the textbooks that I was given to my students. And I thought, why am I first of all putting this into the hands of my students? And why am I patronizing these books? Because if you're a professor and you're sending a text, you're not buying one copy of a book, you find dozens. So I suggested to ignatius press, we should bring it out around critical issues of classic works of literature, which would have traditional oriented criticism of the works and not this post modernist and so what? First of all, God bless father fessio for saying yes to that. God bless you for thinking of it. Every time if somebody says I want to read a work of classic literature, almost always, if you stumble into a Barnes and noble and you grab one of them, it will have a preface and two introductions by people who are radically opposed to a biblical sensibility or even to a western sensibility. So what are some of the books in that series that you have edited? What works of literature? Yeah, so the key thing is, as you say, the modern academy poisons the reading of literature through these theories. So we have 27 books in the series now. There are 7 Shakespeare plays amongst them. So Hamlet, Macbeth king Lear and others, but we also have American literature, so the scarlet letter Moby dick. And others, we have Victorian literature wandering highest picture Dorian gray. So Frankenstein. So I say 27 titles in the series and certainly people want to be able to pick up a critical edition of these great works and not be poisoned or fronted by the nonsense that the modern academy is pointing the literature with, then that's the series to go to. Well, again, God bless father fessia and ignatius press. I want to say to everybody, folks, if you're interested in great literature, go to ignatius press, I don't know how many books I bought in over the years from ignatius, but just most of Chesterton and so many other great authors there, but the idea that you came up with this idea is the series continuing yeah, it's ongoing. The series is ongoing, so we hope to continue to add titles to it. As time goes.

"I have to ask you about your own story. You've been on the program before, but we have many new listeners who, first of all, they're wondering, what is that lovely accent? Where do you live now? What is your story? How did you come to be who you are today, which is to say a writer of many books and a man of deep Christian faith. Well, I mean, I told the story, Eric in a book called race with the devil, my journey from racial hatred to rational love. But in a nutshell, I, as a very young man, there's a 15 year old to be precise, what involved with white supremacist politics. I was very anti Christian, very anti Catholic, and very secular, and sort of worshiped that secular fundamentalism of Adolf Hitler. So it was through the reading, first of all, of writers such as G.K. Chesterton, who as you can see behind me there still looks after me like a guardian angel. It was a reading of Chester Turner bell or C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and some of his great Christian figures that led me away from the darkness and that coupled with a spiritual healing, which I didn't even understand until I could look back in retrospect. This miraculous healing coupled with the reason that I was receiving from these great Christian writers that led me away from the abyss and really my life since my conversion has been one of gratitude for that conversion and a desire if you like to make up for all the bad things I did prior to my conversion by trying to live a good and faithful life and bring other people to the truth of Christ. And where did you grow up Joseph? I grew up in the east end of London in England, so the accent you see here is a London accent, somewhat somewhat mutilated by 20 years in the United States. It's so interesting. Well, so yeah, so it's hard for many people to believe one of the reasons I ask you is because people need to understand theirs redemption. There's forgiveness. And to think that you were not just flirting with genuine white supremacy. Today, these terms are thrown around there. They've become utterly meaningless, but you were in the thick of it. You were hated God, were pro Hitler. We forget that that does exist, and we've cheapened it beyond our understanding of it. But you were filled with that kind of a hate and God reached you. It's an amazing story. You tell it in your book race with the devil. Is that the title? The subplot is my journey from racial hatred to rational love. To rational love. Well, there's a term rational love. It sounds very Catholic in a good way. I just think it immediately brings to mind great theologians, but the idea of rational love. Say a little bit about that term. Yeah, with a key thing, of course, one of the problems in the modern world is a misunderstanding about what love is. So for the relativist, love is a feeling. It's an emotion. It's intrinsically irrational, right? There's nothing you can do about it. It comes and hits you and it goes away. Whereas for the Christian, to lab is to really clearly and rationally choose to lay down your life with the beloved. It's encapsulated in the paradox of Christ that the first shall be last, that based the love is putting yourself lost and putting the other first and the paradoxes, of course, that in doing that, we actually grow ourselves, not just spiritually, being happiness, that the more we give ourselves to others, the actual happier we become. It's a paradox is counterintuitive. But the key thing is the rational choice to freely and rationally choose to lay down our lives but our brothers. That is what Christian love is and that's what I discovered through the faith and reason of these people that I've read and through the healing race of Jesus.

"Well, I want to talk to you about the life of Benedict, the 16th. By the way, how old is he today? Now, last week, he celebrated 95th birthday. So he's had a long, long arduous life. That's hard for me to believe that he could be 95, my goodness. Now, so let's talk about his life. Obviously, German, his last name, ratzinger, I assume in your book, you go through his life from the beginning. Yeah, basically that the book is a part of the fee and an overview of the legacy. So it's not a conventional biography or Benedict the 16th, but it does tell the story from the beginning from his childhood where of course he grew up as a child under the tyranny of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. So he knows what totalitarian secularism is. Because he experienced it firsthand. As did of course St. John Paul the second with his experience of communism and the Nazis are both. So these men know the dangers of the absence of God in human affairs because they experienced it firsthand as young men. And I think that St. John Paul the second saw in cardiovascular someone who had the same understanding, not just of authentic, Christianity, and orthodoxy, but also of the dangers of secularism and that's why the two men I mean look at the two points two terms coined by them. It was St. John Paul the second who coined the term the culture of death and it was Benedict the 16th Ashley on the eve of his election that spoke about the dictatorship of relativism. So I think the early lives of both these men enabled them to see the horrors and terrors of a godless politics which unfortunately 20% of America and many of the younger generation appear oblivious of. Well, I think that's the heart of it and it's why I admired John Paul the great and I admire Benedict because they understood what is at stake. They had lived through it themselves. Obviously, if Benedict the 16th is now 95 years old, he was fully aware in the midst of the Nazis in Germany. He was fully aware of what was happening at the time. He saw it. And I think because John Paul, the second similarly saw it, first the Nazis, then the communists, the Soviets, they understood the levels of wickedness that can come about. I think that there are many people today Joseph younger people who they simply can't comprehend it or if they grew up in America as you didn't, but if they grew up in America the way I did and didn't have parents like mine who had lived through this hell, they simply can not conceive of how evil things can be when you pull God out. But the men were talking about they saw it with their own eyes and they spoke about it. The vacuum is called by the absence of God is still the viciousness. It's as simple as that. But we have the naivete based upon two things I think. First of all, the dictatorship of relativism to use Benedict's own words where we basically don't believe there's a coherent and cohesive reason governing things. Both St. John pull the second and bend into the 16th following in the tradition of the church, St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas insisted upon the indiscriminate union that the industry will marriage between faith and reason. So in a world which is abandoned that for emotion and feeling and relativism and self empowerment, you know, that we end up with the anarchy, which is the consequence of that absence. And the other thing is, of course, the absence of history. We are so ignorant of history, particularly the younger generation that have been delivery not taught it, because the history teaches lessons that the radical relativists don't want us to learn. So we now have a generation of people that know nothing about the Nazis, nothing about the communists, nothing about secularism. And the consequence, of course, is we're in danger of making exactly the same mistakes. We are going and we are making the same mistakes,.

He's no dummy, but he wrote the book cybersecurity for dummies for wily and a lot of people that are seeking to get their certification as a cybersecurity expert study from his book in order to get their certification for their exams. His name is Joseph Steinberg and we would like to welcome him in his finely trimmed beard to the bad crypto podcast. Hello, Joseph. Hi, Joel. Thanks for having me. You can think Travis too. Okay, thank you, Travis too. No thank you. You don't need to just joking. I'm just joking around with you guys. Thank you. He didn't appreciate your beard as much as I did. So first thing I want to talk about is you're in New York City right now and we were talking offline before him, but I kind of want you to share a little bit for those who aren't there in the once great Big Apple, what's it like now? It's still the Big Apple and it's still great, but perhaps a little bit less great than it was a few years ago. New York is recovering from COVID. I think some of the restrictions are actually supposed to be lifted later this week. Or at least so we're told, but you still need a mask and a vaccine card to sit in any restaurant. Well, the mask to come in, the vaccine card to sit. That is supposed to change over the next few weeks. So we'll see what plays out with that. But you've had an increase in crime and just dirt around the city in general. Hopefully, you know, new mayor has begun his term and hopefully things will get cleaned up a little bit, but there's definitely been a deterioration over the last few years. So is it like the medium Apple now? Or why is it even an Apple? What the hell does it have to do with apples? Did they used to have like an apple Orchard there? And now it's not. You think it was going to be a fruit. They'd pick a big one, like the watermelon, right? Because it's huge. I don't ever understood the Big Apple. I didn't remain any sense to me. Maybe Wall Street liked it, 'cause they wanted Apple computer. I don't know. That was my question. Thanks for tuning in, everybody. Stay bad. That was it. Right, so you have an extensive background in cybersecurity so much so that you wrote a book on it. Maybe give people a background of, you know, when did you start diving into cybersecurity and what are your credentials so they know? So I've really been in cybersecurity my whole life as a child that would be doing more amateurish things, playing around with things, tinkering with computers to try to see how they work and how they could be undermined so the computer is quote unquote so smart, but I can figure out a way to be smarter than the computer. Got involved in what is now known as the cybersecurity field, about a quarter of a century ago as the Internet started to become commercialized instead of being researchers at universities, you now started to have transactions and banking and all sorts of other things online. And then obviously change the need for security related to the Internet. So I'm in the space since the mid 1990s, which might as well be the Jurassic era of information security, things have changed so dramatically over that period of time..

And he said, to his brothers, guys, it was so weird, like, the whole universe was bowing down to me. What he says is the sun, the moon and 11 stars were bowing down to me. Ah, now this is significant. The last time that that phrase, the only other time, that phrase is used in the genesis scroll within the creation narrative. The phrase the sun and the moon and stars. The sun moon stars, and also ruling. Yeah, because then I'm going to stars where the host of heaven to rule over the sky and the calendar. The time day and night. Yeah, it seems like a hyperlink to not only am I going to rule over the land. I'm not going to rule over the sky. Yeah, this is so potent, man. I mean, the significance of this won't strike until you reach genesis 49 and 50, but this is all part of the larger strategy of the Joseph story within genesis and the Torah and the Hebrew Bible as a whole, and so the last literary movement of genesis picks up the steam of a human, exalted to rule over the nation's and over the cosmos. And we're harking back to the image of God in genesis one. Except we're even more because the image of God was called the rule the land, right? In genesis one. Yeah. Mirroring as a mirror to the rulers above over the sky. But now, the guy has a dream about becoming the ruler of the land and over the sky. Oh, that's intense. So this ticks off his brothers and his dad. His dad's like, this is just inappropriate, son. Yeah. This is not okay. You really think we're all gonna come bow down to you? That's what Jacob says to Joseph. So you told his brothers were jealous, but his father kept the matter. Kept the matter in mind. So that's the opening of the story. So we'll just paraphrase here. But Joseph's brothers are out in the field, right? Just like Cain and Abel went out into a field. Joseph's brothers are out in the field, and Joseph is sent out to them, and what they say is, look, here comes the dreamer. And what their first plan is what they say is let's murder him. And the word for murder, harag, it's the same word used as for what Kane does to able out in the field. And now here's the younger son, favored, coming to his older brothers, and what they say out in the field is let's pull a cane. Let's murder him. But, you know, here's what we could do. We could murder him, and then spin a deception. It's been a lie about how wild animal of the field. Ate him. These are genesis three echoes coming in here. Oh, the animal crouching, thin crouching, like an animal. Yep, to devour. And which in the cane story in genesis four is the corresponding image of the wild animal, the snake of the field, telling a lie to the human. Now what they're saying is we will tell a lie about a wild animal. Eating our brother. But one brother, the first born Rubin, Rubin steps up, and he says, no, no, no, no, don't. Don't kill him. Don't spill blood. And that's what happened to Abel, as the blood spilled on the ground. And that's important, blood spilling on the ground. And I don't fully understand the significance of that image, but yeah, okay. So because the ground is supposed to be the place, the material out of which God's ruach can breathe life and summon the life, but when humans return life back into the ground in the form of blood soaked soil, that becomes an outcry, what God says decay in is the outcry of your brother's blood has reached my ears. And so when the land is soaked with the blood of the innocent, God becomes obligated to bring the creation of water that will purify the land, and that is what the imagery of the flood is. But now, we're now many cycles into the story. And so spilling blood on the ground, murdering someone out in the field so that they don't receive an honorable burial is like the ultimate sacrilege. And we will call down God's justice upon us. So don't do that. Don't spill his blood. Instead, let's just throw him in a pit. All right, which in Rubens mind, you're told he said this in order to save his brother, and return him to his father. So big brother, stepping up here. Okay, he's trying to figure out a way to save him. Yep. Yep. So but the idea is to make him go down into a pit. And this here, we're not to exile explicitly, but we're beginning the symbolism of Josef just had a dream about being exalted up high over his brothers. Over the sun moon and stars. And what they do is one, instead, take him down. Into the pit below the ground. He goes from one end of the cosmos to the other. So to speak. And so what happens when Joseph comes up to his brother's first, they take off that robe, they're over that robe. So they strip him of the robe, and they throw him in a pit. And then they sit down and have a meal. We sit down to eat bread. So it's over a meal. It's a weird detail. It is. It's the Adam and Eve story in the cane and naval story that have been merged together because their pattern after one another, and the brothers are replaying image of both stories. Deception over a meal, they're going to deceive with a lie about an animal and this is all about murdering the brother or making him go away. This is an example of how every detail is important in this type of literature. And so for the story, just be like, and then they sat down to eat bread. Yeah, totally. And then all of a sudden you're thinking about the significance of food as it relates to deception. Yes. A little hint about eating bread as a part of a deception plan that's connected to the murder of the brother and the spilling of blood. Like none all these words and sentences have been very carefully chosen..

"Over. All the land of egypt. And then pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on joseph's hand and arrayed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck and made him right in the second chariot and they cried before him. Bow the knee. And so he set him over all the land of egypt pharaoh said to joseph. I am farrow and without your consent noman shall lift up hand or foot in all of the land of egypt and lots and lots of other wonderful things happen but it says in verse forty-six that joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of pharaoh king of egypt so joseph has risen to prominence. He goes from prophecy to the pit topographers to prison and to prominence in chapters. Thirty seven through forty one. Isn't that amazing. I love this story. About joseph and i actually clung to it quite a bit Throughout my own formation. So when jacob learned that there was grain in egypt he said that his sons of course seven years have passed right Or actually fourteen. Because the seven years of plenty in the seven years of famine jacob learn there was grain in egypt and he said to his son. Why are you looking at each other. Go down to egypt. So joseph's brothers. Ten of them went down to buy grain in egypt and so they did not recognize. Joseph who now he has a different language he looks different and joseph speaks roughly to them. It says in verse seven and he starts to really grill them he wants to know if they are repentant over what they did to him and he sort of he. He veils Kind of intentional questions. That are meant to pull out information about his his family and his father and his father's wailer is is even alive and then of course is His younger brother and then it says that they were there for three days. He put them in prison because wants to see the youngest brother Benjamin but he's he doesn't actually just want to see him. He wants to see if the brothers will give his their other brother up and the youngest again just like they did with joseph. He's testing them to see what they're gonna do. He throws them jail to make the decision and then they talk among themselves and they go. This is our fault. Because we're guilty of the the the blood of our brother or the life of our brother. And joseph knew everything that they were saying because he understood them their ninth native language. But they didn't know that he did and so the whole time when he realizes that they ruben says in verse. Twenty two of chapter forty two. Did i not tell you not to sin against the lab. But she would not listen so now. There comes a reckoning for his blood and they didn't know that joseph understood in there was an interpreter but he turned away from them and he wept and then he came back and he's he said to them that they have to fill their great bags with grain and then he gave them their money back and sent them away with the grain and the money and so it looked like they were stealing from faeroes stockpile and then they head home and they are about. I don't know a little ways down the road. And they they look in the mouth of the second they see the money and then they freak out they say. Oh my gosh at this. Their hearts hartsfield them and they turn to trembling at one another. Saying what is this. That god has done to us. And they go back to jacob in canaan and they've told him everything and that he wanted to see benjamin and then jacob just he freaks out. He says you have bereaved me of my children. Joseph is no more and siemian is no more and now you would take. Benjamin has come upon me and reuben wants to take the place of benjamin. It's you have to just read the whole thing. But eventually they do take benjamin to egypt and because they need food again right so they have to go back. Jacob just praised that got us with benjamin and that nothing will happen. And joseph saw benjamin with them and he asks them to dine with him and he he gets to see his brother for the first time and he actually almost loses himself verse twenty nine. Joseph lifted up his eyes and saw his brother benjamin his mother's son so his actual Fully bu- blood brother and said is this year. Youngest brother of whom you spoke to me. God be gracious to you my son. And then joseph made haste for his heart yearn for his brother and he sought a place to weep any entered his chamber and wet there and then he says he washed his face and came out and controlling himself. He said let them eat and they ate a meal together although at separate tables because the egyptians wouldn't eat with the hebrews because it's an abomination it says in verse thirty two but it it says they sat before him the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth and the men looked at one another in amazement they couldn't. They didn't know how they knew who was the oldest and who was the youngest but they were seated according to their age and they were shocked by that the brothers were and joseph made sure that benjamin had five times the portions that any the other brothers had isn't that interesting so then as one last test and possibly even maybe just a hint of revenge possibly he sends them on their way with their grain and he hides cup in one in benjamin's bag and then he stops them and says once they've been overtaken he says why have you returned evil for good. Why have you stolen my silver cup. And they are. I mean their hearts completely fail them. They are freaking out. Because it's benjamin and joseph threatens to take benjamin as a slave and they. They are worried for their father. Because benjamin won't come back and he knows that their father they know that their father has lost joseph and now he's about to lose benjamin being afraid of this very thing happening and they are scared to death and then joseph it says of chapter forty five he could not control himself before them any longer and he says make everyone go out for me and so no one stayed with him when joseph made himself known to his brothers and he wept aloud so that the egyptians heard it and the household phero hurt it and joseph said to his brothers. I am joseph. Is my father still alive. Oh my goodness so. Joseph then is an emotional man. He's not afraid to cry. And in this particular situation he so excited to see that his brothers have truly repented that he barely knows how to contain himself and then we come to chapter forty six where jacob brings his whole family to egypt. They go home and they tell their father up in chapter forty five verse twenty six. They told him. Joseph is still alive. And he is ruler. Over all the land of egypt and jacob's heart fainted for he did not believe them but when they told him all the words of joseph which he had said to them and when he saw the wagons which joseph had sent to carry him the spirit of their father jacob revived and israel said israel is jacob. It's jacobs new name that god gave him. It's says it is enough joseph. My son is still alive. I will go and see him before. I die and so everyone goes to egypt the whole family and that is how the people of god ended up in egypt because they they started their and then that's the whole of the twelve tribes right so all of jacob sons. The whole family goes to live in egypt because Joseph is the ruler over all of egypt under pharaoh because god has put him in that position right and so now all of the tribes are there and they stay there. They remained in egypt until like four hundred years later. There it says at the end that there came a There came a time when there was a pharaoh who did not know joseph and at that point then they become persecuted but before that he settles his family in at the Like verse seven ish around in chapter forty seven. He talks about how phero or the text talks about. How pharaoh tales joseph to settle his family in the best of the land. So joseph does that and they all live there and there was no food because the famine was so severe and so joseph gathered up all the money in egypt because the people would come and they would basically give joseph all their money in exchange for food because there was nothing to eat and when all the money ran out then the people came to him and said look all. We've got his cattle here and so he would take all the cattle and he would he would gather it for the pharaoh and then they run out of seattle so then they had to sell them their land so all of the land then became the purview of egypt. And even at that point joseph then would send the people back out to the land to farm it and then collect a tithe for pharaohs so my point is that you can see how joseph then increased the holdings of pharaoh by his administration and by his. And that's what his name means. As i mentioned in the video it means to increase and it's kind of an accounting term. But joseph had this gift for administration in a way that multiplied everything partly because god's blessing was on him but also he had that gift and so all of the people lived there one other thing joseph's two sons He has two sons from an manasseh and their names are very interesting. It's first born was named manasseh and that means making me forgetful and it says for god has made me forget all of my toil and my father's house and the of the second son he called from for god has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction so his two sons he named Making me forgetful and fruitful in the land. My isn't that interesting. So while there's so much and i have to stop at this point but the very last thing i want to point out is the blessing that jacob gives to joseph and all of the sons really but there's a beautiful blessing. I don't have time to read it. But it's in chapter. Forty nine joseph In verses twenty two through twenty six. It's the blessing of jacob on joseph and it says that they shall be on the head of joseph and on the crown of the head of him who separate from his brothers. And so jacob. Bloat blesses jew joseph and joseph sons And he includes them actually in the the blessing before he dies. There's so much. Still that. I could say i don't have the time but next week will cover. Joseph adjust saint joseph the just as priest of the holy.

"Be honest that when that first happened back in. I don't know it's been fifteen years now When i came into the church it was back then. It was just a couple months after. I had come in so i won't go into that but when that happened i just. I thought it was neat. I thought it was interesting. I felt like it was the holy spirit intervening for me and of course he was. But now i know that that was saint joseph personally intervening for me through my husband and i just i got so much more from him win when he showed me asked him. I said what is it that you want to know about you. It's it's very clear and that stories in the video but it. It was very clear to me that he was trying to get my attention and so once he had it. I just asked him. What is it that you want me to know. And i have to be honest. I just face planted. And every time i think about it again i face plant again and i. I think it's probably has to do quite a bit with my father wound. Because joseph has shown shown himself as my father my that the daddy as i mentioned in the video that i had given up ever having and to me. That brings connotations of it of this. I don't know how do i put it. How do how do daddy's look at their daughters. They find pleasure in them. They find pleasure in watching them be who they are. And that's the sense. That i got from saint joseph very very strongly in the very beginning when he revealed to me that he had intervened for me with my husband and but also four my husband because my husband needed that we were we were just experiencing so much tension and and saint joseph. Just he really did sort of bring peace. He brought some peace to my husband. He brought peace to me for sure. Because i knew that the holy spirit was sort of he was defending me in a way because i had come into the church and as other people had said split my family but one of the things that saint joseph showed me and it wasn't a vision or anything like that and i didn't hear joseph speak not audibly but i had like this flash of knowing and this flash in this flash. I saw saint joseph watching me as a little girl when i was very young. And my dad would put us on restriction. Put me on restriction for sometimes muscled time and when that occurred in our home it meant that my dad would take everything out of our rooms that had anything to do with entertainment whatsoever so all my toys all my dolls all the stuffed animals any pets are usually always had a hamster a fish. You know something like that. He would take all my pets. The radio everything was taken out of my room except for my dresser with my clothes it and my bed and so all i was allowed to do was sit on my bed and read or do workbooks of some sort usually schoolbooks in subjects. That i didn't have an a. n. Or something like that so he would use it as enrichment time which i hated those things. 'cause they were always so dagenham hard Anyway saint joseph just gave me this flash of him watching me sitting on my bed reading. And i had a bunch. I had a bunch of books. Because my mom would take me to the library every week and and i would get as many books as they would allow me to check out. I would get all of those not bring him home. And then i'd read them and as soon as i got done reading them she would take me back so i was constantly turnover books but i had the supply of bible storybooks that my mother had bought me and that i would when i got done with my stack of books in between the time that i finished them and could get back to the library. I would go to this stack of books that i had and there were a whole bunch of bible storybooks mom. She bought me classics illustrated classics. But also i had a whole bunch of bibles like bible storybooks and one of them in particular is the one that i saw him in my mind in my heart in this flash where joseph was watching me read these stories and it was this is just a particular gate was really actually very big but it had like newspaper it was newspaper paper and so the the inc would kind of rub off and the pages were different colors. There were there were white pages and then pink and yellow and then green so there were sections that had different colored pages. And i just remember. I see i saw in my heart myself on the bed reading these bible stories about joseph and how pleased saint joseph was in watching me reading those and i can't even i can barely speak about it. I mean i can't tell you how tender that feeling was an overwhelming for it. And just how how he knew the loneliness and and fear and all of that that i lived in and yet he was present there and he was so delighted in watching me. Read the stories about him. I mean. isn't it weird right. So that was part of it and then and then jump forward Then i understood that it was him who had intervened for me with my husband. I'm sorry It was joseph. Saint joseph who facilitated my healing through my husband. Because it's it's been the The friction in personality differences between my husband. And i that has brought about the most healing in my whole life. It's been my relationship with my husband in saint. Joseph showed me that my husband is very very like him. That saint joseph himself has personality traits. That are very very like my husband. And that's why he said to him. You are joseph because my husband is very like the actual saint joseph and so as my husband was was healing me just by being who he is and my resistance against that and of course you know that that goes both ways to. I've helped heal my husband as well. But but i just got this very overwhelming. Since that that it was joseph himself working through my husband for my healing and he he was personally involved personally responsible. Personally encouraging me and lifting me up and providing me graces and all this stuff and then there's more and then i got this very clear knowing i've i've always had this thing with godwin. God called me to do what i'm doing. I was still baptist. And i really. I had only been married about five years. I hadn't even had a guy at my youngest son was maybe one or two and god called me an in. It began this thing between us. That i have always called dream. Big because the lord would he would remind me to dream. Big in those instances where i would get discouraged over. Things not happening or they weren't happening fast enough or they didn't happen the way i thought they should. Or even at all. I mean it took. It took a decade on the half for this promise to actually come to fruition and during that time he was forming me to be capable of receiving that promise when it finally came over and over and over again he would encourage me with that dream big thing in in much the same way that he did. With abraham in the old testament. Where abraham would he would get frustrated or he would get discouraged and god would come back to him and reinstate the covenant or reaffirm the covenant that he had made with a promise and so what i saw is that joseph was also behind the dream big because joseph himself was a dreamer and that he was the one who was behind all of that and and remains the one behind all of that as the dreamer. And oh my goodness. And the fact that joseph is so just he. And that's the great strength of my husband is his sense of justice. Joseph the silent and my husband can be. i mean. he's funny but he doesn't say much in the important things and less and less he must. And so i saw joseph really as as my own husband and and providing for me and protecting me and healing me and all the things. That good husband should do that. Joseph was behind all that in my actual.

"Joseph yeah and history occupies a ton of time. Bible literacy pop quiz. Who gets more attention. In the book of genesis abraham isaac jacob joseph joseph joseph. Isn't that weird. And nobody ever really talks about that cow little. This made little guns for those of you when you're happens when you can't win then how guns the i have publicly. I guess publicly received one of japan's bible literacy pop quizzes and there's nothing more embarrassed tank being in front of a crowd that you're leading and jen giving you one of these and you look like a complete fool right to celebrate being the one giving the quizzes. You only ask questions you yourself could answer. He skipped the ones that you would miss. So that's that's that's part of your genius. So joseph We're energies to joseph here. And it's it's. I just want to say this and this question that i have the story of joseph occupies so much of the attention of genesis but his story doesn't resonate through the rest of the bible story like his his name. Does it resonate through the rest of the bible story. And the way that. Like abraham. Or maybe even isaac does but certainly abraham but he gets a lot more attention in genesis like does joseph come up a lot more in the bible and just missing it. Because i don't feel like he's a mega character for the rest of the storyline. Tae do you want to answer. Kyle's question now. Yeah he's he's my favorite type of christ in all of scripture. Yup yup. I mean it. Just take the of how the story just takes. Its time and it leaves no opportunity to connect behind and so i don't disagree with that that it feels like his name should come out more doesn't it doesn't come up as much for the rest of. Certainly abraham and moses those are outsized figures but like. We don't hear a lot of references. At least that. I can remember. And i have a genuine question. I don't know if you guys know the answer this. Since i know how much prep we all put in. Before we do these episodes this will be off the top of our heads but Do you think significance to the fact that There are two key figures in the gospels related to the life of jesus your name joseph his father joseph and joseph of arimathea. Just talk about well. Certainly in the jewish tradition naming your children. But that's but why those characters specifically do you think are linked In in in our mind are meant to be linked in our minds to this joseph or are they a bible brain can't get there what was do either joseph's dad's name Jesus's dad joseph Let me look talk amongst yourselves. Hasn't come immediately. it's mind but that would that. Would i think be if he knew he was. But while you guys are looking for that if we're talking about topologies specifically as it relates to joseph. I mean so we'll see what's incredible is. We haven't really gotten to this text yet and we'll get into the rest of this episode of next but like he's having these dreams of power in ruling and he's going to be the one who rules over his brothers and his pathway of getting there is not the way that you would think of him getting there right. He's he's sorry gentle she's ready. I have to tell you. I have never noticed this before. You know what joseph father's name is jacob. It's jacob i think that's that's that's that's crazy that's nuts carries in joseph stats off. What i'm saying well and and i don't. I don't think it occurred to me either until this moment that we're talking about it. Where the the joseph. Joseph jesus's father is there at the moment of his birth joseph. The era of mathea. Is there burial. You basically have a man name. Man named joseph ushering him into the world and a man named joseph. Ushering him out of the land of the living in his kiss. Me goosebumps broadcast this nine in his path to rulership is much like joseph's path to rulers right like they take a really similar course he's kind of like is still through in like this. You can't see him right now. Like unable how guns any words is hanging down. This is going to be superfund seriously. I think this is my favorite story in all of the bible. And that's saying how much are we getting into it into in this story like. Should we start about basically shook. I love how our audience is like why they've really got a plan here. Like nobody knows whether stopping the episode. No no no no no this basically. We're just getting to the cell of joseph into slavery now. Okay so we're we're almost there so when you think about genesis as a whole The book of genesis begins with the murder of a brother and it ends with a brother who is almost murdered but rather than Coming back with vengeance to kill his brothers. He extends freedom to them very whether they sold into slavery their slow down slow down. We're getting to the end but but but but one of my favorite Kind of crystal g passages is philippians chapter two this is much like joseph's sewri the one who has promised to reign and rule rather than grasping for it. He relinquishes it it has this path of descent so you have Joseph sold into slavery enduring unbelievable hardship in rising to rulership in a way that you would never expect way that he does rule over his father and mother and his brothers and he's the kind of ruler whose eventually going to extend grace and forgiveness them which to your point. Jen is this crystal. Aji typology here joseph story. There's even i know. I know we're getting into this later. There's a lot to think about. He has some clothing patterns. Oh we're gonna talk about we'll wait. We'll wait but there's a lyle kyle still thinking about this josephson honestly. I'm kind of tearing up like the bible is so wonderful. This is this is when people are like. I don't know if it's a thing. And i'm like the more you're in it the more you find how. It's not just the disconnected. It is seamlessly and and in so many layers Connected that i'm like this is this can't be a coincidence. And there's a couple of take from that. I i mean the human authors are literary moses is doing beautiful literary artwork The right word here to tie these stories together to give us and frame us a perspective. What god is doing redemptive history but also this is clearly inspired biblical text by the holy spirit that the holy spirit is not just tying things together through one human author moses in the five books the pentateuch but he's using matthew and luke mark john paul to tie things together in a way that perhaps there are always aware of but also maybe perhaps in ways that they weren't aware of because there's a beauty of what they were writing that perhaps they weren't conscious of join.
