"IBEW Local 26 where we'll be right back. The top story, we're following a memorial service beginning at this hour in Atlanta for former first lady Rosalynn Carter. 99 year old former president Jimmy Carter who has been in home hospice care plans to be at the tribute at Glenn Memorial Church in Atlanta. Other dignitaries include President Biden, former President Clinton and all of the living first ladies. The service on the second of a three day schedule of public events celebrating the former first lady and global carrion who died last week at her home in Plains, Georgia at the age of 96. Her funeral is scheduled for tomorrow. It was a deadly shooting involving a police officer that happened nearly four years ago and it happened inside a squad car. Now the Prince George's County officer is finally on trial on charges that he murdered a man in his custody. It's a that case triggered outrage in the community. WTOP's John Doman covering the opening statements. The prosecution repeatedly stressed that 43 year old William Green was not a threat to police on the January 2020 night that he was shot six times and killed in the front seat of a police cruiser. In fact, they portrayed Green as barely conscious the night he was taken into custody after he had crashed into several cars while driving under the influence of PCP and alcohol. But a lawyer for Corporal Michael Owen asked what information was used to decide that. He pointed out equipment damage in the vehicle and said the narrative being outlined by the prosecution quote is not true, not informed and is false. He says inconsistencies will show they never got it right. The trial is expected to run for about two weeks at the courthouse in Upper Marlboro. John Dome in WTO P news on Capitol Hill. A lawyer for Hunter Biden says the president's son is willing to testify before House Republicans who are investigating the first family's finances. But the panel's chairman says Hunter Biden's condition for that testimony is unacceptable. Details from WTO P's Mitchell Miller today on the Hill. The condition for next month's testimony is that Hunter Biden would testify at a public hearing. His attorney argues that would be better than a closed door meeting subject to leaks. But House Oversight Committee chair Comer James says Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules after being issued a subpoena to provide a deposition on December 13th. As that drama plays out, Congress is trying to quickly come together on a massive aid package package that would include aid for Israel. House Speaker Mike Johnson believes it could also include aid for Ukraine but not without measures addressing the U .S. southern border. If there is to be additional assistance to Ukraine, which most members of the Congress believe is important, we have to also work and change in our own border policy. On Capitol Hill, Michael Miller, WTOP news. Now to the crisis in the Middle East. The ceasefire between

"Republic. That's us. The media doesn't want you to talk about a United States first policy because they're interested in nothing more than a globalist open borders world where everybody can take advantage of the United States and dismantle capitalism and bring their socialist ideas here. It's the whole Soros type plan. That's why they're always pushing for open borders. It's not an accident. It's why the talked Democrats endlessly about demographic destiny. Jim, how many times we played this video and I'm talking about demographic destiny, five, six, at least. I mean, if the Democrats are obsessed with talk about it all the time. Here's what's going to get in their way, though. You have it? Yeah. How long is that video? Like a minute or so? Here, I because this is important. This is what's happening around the world as people start to elect conservative leaders populist and leaders who are saying, hey, we're not doing this immigration stuff anymore.

Dan Shares Observations From His Time in the South
"Paula at the Iron Bowl. And I said, listen, I obviously haven't met a person from the south, but I've been down here a lot, like for a really long time now. And this is my personal experience with you know, God matters down there. Not that God didn't matter in New York. My family was very religious. We went to St. Pancras Church every Sunday, but God really matters in the south. Central to everything. Everything. God comes first and everything else comes second. And you really see it in the south. It's just even the way they talk. It reminds me, you know, I love Morgan Wallen. That's actually a song, the way I talk. And as a guy who loves Jesus Christ and unfortunately fails him so often, you know, I'm just deeply impacted by how much people from the south so deeply love God and faith and the faith -based portion of the community. You know, sometimes up of earth. Things are like New Yorkers are just very skeptical of a lot of stuff. It's not a knock. It's just they've been burned a lot by a lot of bad people. So a lot of things are considered like hokey. Like, hey, is church going to do bingo. I've been to New York, it's like, ah, that's hokey. That's goofy. Right, Jim? That's like New York. That ain't doing it. That's kind of hokey. Not down south, man. That's a community. Yeah, it's bingo. That's cool. Let's go do some bingo. Whatever. Good for you, man. I also noted that things I picked up down On 20 years living south in New York. You know, manners and structure matter. You know, people don't say, yes, sir, and no, ma 'am, because they're obligated to. They say it because they want It imparts structure in a chaotic world. Respect the elderly.

Don't Jump to Conclusions About the Mystery Virus in China
"Hostages held in terror hands and on this pneumonia in China. I don't even know if it's pneumonia, and no one should jump to conclusions on it. That's what they're saying in the media. They'd be saying, here we go again. Now, could this be dangerous? Yes, definitely could be. We've seen this before. However, I don't trust anything coming out of the media. And I want to warn you, I'm not an epidemiologist. I'm not a biologist. I'm not a medical doctor, but I'm not a moron either. I'm not stupid. I'm well aware of viral transmission vectors, how diseases spread. They spread sexually. They spread through respiratory function. They can be aerosolized. They can be droplets. You can get a disease spread through a third vector, mosquito, dengue fever. There's bloodborne pathogens. This is not it's stuff. What is this thing in China right now? What is it? You've got to keep one thing in mind. The Chinese Communist Party, anything they're going to put out is probably going to be a lie. But you also have to keep in mind, they were under really extended lockdowns for a long time. Folks, the immune system like your muscles needs to be worked out to develop and grow, to learn to recognize deadly pathogens from common bug. There's a significant portion of your health. These Chinese Communist Party folks had their people on lockdown forever. I just want you to keep in mind, could this be something serious? Yes, but it could just be a normal virus that's making its way to China because their immune systems

The Pneumonia Outbreak in China: Don't Panic Just Yet
"In the morning? Don't believe the first media narrative. I bring up the Bongino rule because there's an outbreak of a new disease in China. What? Yes! And I want everyone to please up front and center. I know you all get it. I don't mean this in any kind of a condescending way. But I just want everyone to just chill on this thing for a minute. There's a reason. Do not trust anything the media says on this thing. Anything. Talk about it. Digest the stories. But I want you to read them. And I want you to read them with my Dipsy -Doo -Flip -A -Roo theory. That anything they say, you should probably believe the opposite. The reason I don't buy this is we've been through this before, before an election season with a disease emanating out of China. And the media's not going to tell you the story. They're going to tell you a story. I need you to understand the difference. There is a difference between me telling you a story and telling you the story. The media, what they're looking to do here with this, they're is trying to figure out right now how to leverage this thing to take advantage of the election season and make Biden look good, or at least not make him look bad. If Trump were in office, it would be the opposite. I assure you, and Jim, you can attest to this as an avid follower of the media politics. If Donald Trump were in office and these reports of a pneumonia outbreak in China, the headline in every liberal newspaper would be what? It would be, here we go again! Here we go again! Coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, man rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! and Dogs cats living together! That's it! Those would be media newsrooms right now, for those of you who grew up in the 80s and saw Ghostbusters. Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats! The fact that you're hearing so little about it says to me a couple of things. The media has decided to chill on the story to not make Biden look asleep behind the wheel. But second, media the is probably also saying, hey we don't have to panic right now because we don't know what it is, it may be a pneumonia outbreak but we can't trust China, and we should probably chill

It's one thing if you come out and say you're going to stop smoking because of your health. Going smokeless. Don't worry, folks. Snoop Dogg hasn't changed. He's just making more money working for Solo Stove. Makes me laugh.

Snoop Dogg (MM #4631)
"The Mason Minute with Kevin Mason. I'm sure you've heard or seen the story about noted marijuana smoker and rapper Snoop Dogg where he announced the other day he was going smokeless. He was giving up the smoke. Everybody went crazy. The internet went crazy. Oh my gosh, what's he going to do? A man known most for his marijuana consumption was not going to smoke anymore. Of course, I looked at it and went, okay, something's up. When you do marketing like that, you always get a sense that it's going to be a stunt. And it was because just the other day he came out and announced that he was going smokeless with the new Solo Stove Smokeless Fire Pit. It was all marketing hype. Everybody was hustled. Everybody's gullible. And it made me chuckle. Snoop Dogg was going to stop smoking marijuana. Why would he announce it? Unless it was something for health reasons and because he didn't explain it anymore. That's what made me wonder. There had to be something up with it. It's one thing if you come out and say you're going to stop smoking because of your health. Going smokeless. Don't worry, folks. Snoop Dogg hasn't changed. He's just making more money working for Solo Stove. Makes me laugh.

Corned Beef Hash (MM #4630)
"I've often said it's the simple things in life that bring me the most pleasure. Last weekend, we were in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and we went to a Greek diner for breakfast on Saturday. And on their menu was corned beef hash. Now, it's one of my favorite foods. I don't know why. I had a restaurant I used to go to in Ohio called Charlie's that had a good corned beef hash. And I love a good breakfast, so I used to get it all the time. But when I moved back south, I had a hard time finding corned beef hash. But when I saw it on the menu last weekend, something said, order it. So, I did. And it was incredible. In fact, the hash I had was some of the best corned beef hash I'd had in a long time. Because it was crispy on the edges and just firm enough and just mushy enough and a lot of flavor. And wow, it is the simple things in life. I often wonder where I start liking things like corned beef hash. When was the first time I ate it? It's not one of those things, unless it's like a family tradition, that you try. I saw it on a menu and I tried it 30, 40 years ago. I don't know. But every now and again, I got a taste for it. Now, of course, I had great hash last weekend and I want it again. I'm nowhere near that restaurant. Boy, corned beef hash sounds real good.

Elevation with Steven Furtick
"one the" Discussed on Elevation with Steven Furtick
"That connection doesn't seem too significant to you yet, but it will when I'm done. I want you to understand something right here, right now, and never doubt it again. If you knew what God was doing through you right now and what God was going to do through you, the Devil could never discourage you again. If you knew what God was doing through you, put it in the future in case they have a hard time seeing it right now, in case they have a low bank balance right now, in case they're kids aren't speaking to them right now, in case their mom isn't speaking to them right now, in case their job sucks right now, in case they're single right now and wishing that they weren't single… I mean, there's nothing wrong with being single unless you wish you weren't single, but if you look back at them one more time and tell them for me, just make the announcement. If you knew what God was going to do, the Devil couldn't discourage you, couldn't pay you enough to quit, couldn't defeat you, couldn't depress you. If you knew he was the one and they made him king at age 16… Have you ever been thrust into something you felt like you weren't ready for yet? Have you ever just had somebody put something on you that you didn't even want to wear? Have you ever had that moment… I think every parent has this moment. They say, oh, I am the grown-up, and this guy is 16 years old, and he has to become a king, and he did something so amazing that we're talking about it today. He's the one. I'm sure he wondered, just like you do and I do, why would I be the one? I'm sure he felt in the shadow of his father, just like you feel in the shadow of some of your challenges. I'm sure he felt insufficient, but yet he was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah. So I'm thinking to myself, reading this… Let me sit back down. I'm going, Elath must be a really big place if the Bible takes time to say that of everything he did, he rebuilt and restored Elath. I pulled out this map in my Bible, y'all, and Elath isn't that big. It wasn't its size that made it significant. It was where it was situated. Elath was a port city. Elath was at the northern tip of a gulf. Elath was in the territory of the Edomites. The Edomites had once been a territory of Israel, but they had broken away. Uzziah's father had brought Edom back to a point. Uzziah did something more important. He restored the port city so that the trade could happen beyond the borders of Judah. Now can I preach? Sometimes we have no idea what's really important, because we judge significance by size. We judge significance by status, but the thing God wants you to know about Uzziah, the artist formerly known as Azariah… The thing God wants you to know about him was he was the one who was remembered for what he rebuilt and for what he restored. What he rebuilt and what he restored didn't seem very big, but it was very important, because it was a port city. If he got the port city working again, the ships could come and go. Imagine the hustle and bustle of commerce and economy and exchange and trade that could happen when he got the port city back. There are some things the Enemy will fight you over in your life that don't seem very big on the surface, but he knows it is a port city in your life. If you get this one right and if you get this one back and if you get this one fixed and if you get this one under control and if you get this one flowing and if you get this one working and if you get this one open and if you get this one rebuilt… That's why you can never judge the significance of the season you're in by the size of the opportunity according to your eyes if you only knew. I will prove it to you. Not from the Bible. I'll prove it from my life, because I've never seen Elath. I've never been there. I have had moments in my life where God was using something that I didn't think was important, but it was a port. When Elijah went to college a few weeks ago, he said, "'I've got to get a job.'" I said, "'Probably.'" He said, "'How do I get one?'" I said, "'There are many different ways.'" He said, "'How did you get one?'" I said, "'Well, I never really had a real job. I got all of these scholarships to get to college. I applied for every scholarship. I did work study where you could get some of your tuition paid. I did everything I could. I worked jobs when I was a kid. Y'all know about my jobs. I cremated animals. I sold fireworks. I cleaned churches. I sold explosives, burned dogs, and cleaned the house of God. Let me see your resume.'" When I got to college, I felt like I was called to preach. Nobody else shared that opinion at college. Back at home, I preached my first sermon when I was 16. I wasn't a king like Josiah at 16, but I preached my first sermon at Moncks Corner United Methodist Church, and then Pastor Mickey was the one who sat on my parents' floor and said, "'God's hand is on your son.'" For my mom and my dad, they were the ones who let me go be a youth minister while I was still a youth. When I went to college, nobody was asking me to preach. I found a guy on campus. This is what I told Elijah. I said, "'One day, if you ever meet him, thank Jay Hardwick.'" He said, "'Who's Jay Hardwick?'" I said, "'He was the one.'" I had talked to him in 15 years. I would text him, but I don't have his number, so maybe he'll see this. "'Jay, you were the one. When I came up to you in the cafeteria, I heard you're a preacher.' You said, "'Yeah, I'm trying to be.' I said, "'Me too. I want to preach like you preach.' You said to me, "'Okay. When somebody calls me for an invitation and I can't go, I'll tell them to get you instead.' I said, "'I'll eat your crumbs. I'm not picky. Once you've run a crematory, you preach anywhere.'" I said, "'That would be awesome.'" He was the one who told Mason to put me on the summer impact team where I ended up traveling with Holly. He was the one. He never sent me a bill. He never took a commission. As far as I know, he never took credit. That dude would be running all around the state of wherever he lives now saying, "'Yeah, I gave Furtick his start over there at Elevation, but he didn't really care about that. It's like he was so important in my life. I never even told my son about him until just the other day." The next time the Devil tells you you have no one and he starts hitting you with this loneliness he hits you with… When he hits you with loneliness, hit him with a list. Somebody say, "'He was the one.'" All right. Let's get inclusive. Say, "'She was the one.'" I knew y'all were getting offended. Reflect this Friday night, and I don't want to start anything early. I mean, I've told you a thousand times that really Holly started the church, not me. I was going to start it when I was about the age I am now. Eighteen years ago, she turned to me and said, "'It's time for you to start the church. God has called you to start. We have people around us. We need you. You have what you need right now to do it, and we're going to do it right now.'" If she wouldn't have talked me into doing it then, I would have learned too much to do it at this point in my life. I would have learned too much. She was the one. I look around a room like this, and I don't just see a crowd. I see ones. He was the one who convinced me we could do Elevation Nights. He was the one who was with me at Green Day when Billy Joe Armstrong called me on stage to play guitar. Y'all, that happened before I was 16 years old. I was at a Green Day concert, and I turned to my other friend who isn't here anymore, and I said, "'What if Billy Joe calls me to play his guitar on stage?'" He said, "'Shut up. That's stupid. It's never going to happen.'" In the middle of the Operation Ivy song Knowledge, Billy Joe Armstrong stops and says, "'Does anybody out there play guitar?'" My friends picked me up, and he was one of them, and picked me up like I was Mufasa. He's the one. I played that thing. Oh, I killed it too. I was ready for my moment. Do you know how many times I've wanted to find Billy Joe Armstrong? I never met him. You remember that night in Charleston in 1994? He did it every night, so for him it was just another night. To me, it was the one. That's why I preach hard. I preach every six days, but for you this might be the one. I'm going to preach a lot of messages, but for somebody this is the one. For someone this is the one. I'm not talking about me just to talk about me. I'm trying to get you to see that for someone you're the one. You're the one. You may not even know it. You might be like Billy Joe Armstrong, go on to do another city. He went on to Charleston, West Virginia. He went on to Minneapolis, Minnesota. He never even knew he left a boy back in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. He boosted my popularity past the high school quarterback in one moment, but he just went on. When the Devil tells you that you have no one, that you are no one, and that you can't see how God is using you… Oh, I have a tip for you. Ready? Assume that God is using you. You got it? How do I know God is using me? You won't. Assume that God is using you. Usually they say, You know what? Assuming does. It makes a… You know, whatever, whatever. But in this case, I am actually advocating that you assume you are the one God wanted that person to come across in need. For everybody who has been stuck in self-pity, there is no quicker way out of self-pity than to fulfill God's purpose. Assume… I know you all don't like this, because sometimes we don't want to be the one. I don't want to encourage anybody. When is somebody going to encourage me? Sometimes I don't feel like preaching, and I want to hand you the microphone. You say something. I'm going to do it one day. I'm going to walk in. I'm going to take the stage, and the first person who looks bored… I'm going to throw them a microphone and say, Here, you do it. You do it. Just talking. He was the one. He rebuilt and restored. He was remembered for what he restored. This is the decision in this season of your life that you are making without even knowing that you are making it. On behalf of others… As Holly and I began to talk, we started to realize something about relationships. I'm going to try to talk about this. If I don't really do a good job with it, I'll come on YouTube this week and do a bonus teaching on it. So pray I do a good job so I don't have to go back in and do it again. There's a lot of relational resentment that can build up in your life, people who disappoint you. I'm no different than you. I get disappointed in people. The man we're reading about in this Scripture, Uzziah, in many ways was a disappointment, because he didn't bring the nation back to their rightful place. I'll show you in just a moment. It even got worse than that. But before I show you how bad it got, let me just talk about your disappointments in people. As Holly and I began to talk, I said, You know, Jay Hardwick was the one who kind of put us on that team. We never even thought about it. Who was someone in your life you don't think about? I'm not talking about the Billy Graham and the apostle Paul and Jesus. It's going to be in the comments. Jesus is the one, Steven. Jesus. He's the one. I'm going to say it for you. But, you know, moving us along from there… There are people who you think are going to be the one to be with you forever, but they're not. But just because they're not the one who was with you for a little while or just because they're not with you forever doesn't mean they didn't serve an important purpose in your life. I know this is four, but I really need to say it. Some people in your life are port people. They move through. You move on. They move on. Just because they didn't stay planted doesn't mean they weren't important. What this will help you do when the Enemy says, You have nobody. Look at how they let you down. Look at how they didn't come through for you. Look at how they don't get you. Look at what they weren't able to do. Look at how you believed in them. Look at how you thought they were going to be the perfect partner. Look at how you thought they were going to be… I want to revisit this for a moment so you stop focusing on the disappointment and start focusing on the deposit. I could tell you somebody right now, and you could do the same for me. You could say, Man, she was the one I counted on, and she let me down. But if we took it a little deeper, there was something God used that person in your life for. Even if it was just a port moving through… Do you understand what I'm saying about Elath? We have Elath relationships, and they may not last as long as we wanted them to, and they may not be everything we wanted them to be. If we're not so careful with our souls, the Devil will set up camp in that disappointment and say, You have no one. But they were the one. They were the one for a while. Look at what they added to your life. Yeah, but they betrayed me. It was Judas that got Jesus to the cross. He was the one God used more than any of the other disciples, because it was Judas that God used to get Jesus to the place where he paid for your sins and mine. Even the people who hurt you, God used. I don't say that coldly. I don't say that to celebrate abuse or neglect or abandonment. I just know that someone has been living in this place for a long time. I have no one. You are so good at listing the disappointments that you're missing the deposits. Not only those who are gone, not only the people who planted seeds… Not everybody who starts with you is supposed to stay with you. Not only that, but there are fresh people God is bringing into the port of your life. And if you do not do the work in this season of setting free and forgiving the things that disappointed you, you will not be open to the deposit. You stay poor and you stay sad and you stay alone, but if you will get your eyes off of who left and put your eyes on what they left that God is still watching over in your life to bring you to a new level, I declare and decree he will rebuild and restore everything the locusts ate every year the cankerworm gnawed up. After all, it wasn't them who blessed you anyway. He was the one. God was the one. His mercy was the conduit. His grace was the power. Get ready to shout. You have your eyes on people. Put your eyes on Jesus. He was the one. I got too focused on others. I got too focused on stuff. I forgot that he was the one. Somebody say, he was the one who brought me through depression. He was the one who forgave all my sins and healed all my diseases. He was the one whose blood washed me clean. He was the one who knelt in the garden of Gethsemane with me on his mind and pressed through to the cross. He was the one. That's why I know he's not through with you, because it was him all along. Uzziah rebuilt and restored the port. I'm going to ask you a question. When we write your 2 Kings, chapter 14, verses 21 and 22, what are we going to say? He was the one. I know some of you in here want your 2 Kings 14 and 22 to read like this. He was the one who battled through the addiction his dad couldn't defeat and beat it for his own kids. He was the one. She was the one who forgave her mom for never telling her she was loved, for making her perform, and because she forgave her mom, she was able to face herself and love herself and see herself as a daughter of God. She was the one. I don't see crowds today. I don't know why God gave me this anointing. I just see ones. One God, one person. Which one do you want to be? This can go the other way too. He was the one who gave up on himself, because he really got tired of making excuses. Eventually, he just brought his belief in God down to the level of his lifestyle rather than bringing his lifestyle up to the level of his belief in God. I want to tell you something about Uzziah, and we might want to sit down for this. Uzziah did really good. In fact, 2 Chronicles 26 says the same thing about him, but it gives us a little more detail. I bring you this in a spirit of humility, because when you hear a strong word from God… For some of you, this is a strong word from God. It's not because of me. It's because of the importance of your life to what God wants to do through you. This word is hitting you right now, because this is an Elath message for you. This is a port sermon for you. What goes forth from here is important. You don't think it is yet. I had a man come up to me after I preached one time, and he said, "'Preacher, when you were preaching, you said, "'This message is for someone. I don't know who.'" He goes, "'I just want to let you know I was the one.'" He said a little bit of what he was going through. I said, "'Thank you for telling me.'" Then somebody else came up, and they had overheard. It was a man and a woman, and the woman said she was really funny. She said, "'I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I heard that man who came before. This is my husband, Joe, and I just want you to know that man who was here before, he was wrong, because he was the one you were talking to,' and pointed at her husband." Somebody say, "'I'm the one.'" See, I'm the one who decides which one I'm going to be. He was the one who rebuilt and restored. If your life is in ruins right now, you didn't control that. You may have contributed to it, but will you be the one who rebuilds and restores? I know God wants to be the one who helps you do that. I know that. He'll be the one who will empower you to do it. Uzziah does amazing things, y'all. For a guy who had to start being a king at age 16… Wow. He defeats three of the Philistine countries, knocks down their walls. He puts these watchtowers all around Jerusalem where they can see where their enemies are coming from, and then after he builds the watchtowers, he puts these special military devices where they can shoot the arrows and hurl the stones and their enemies can't see them. He buys new military equipment for every single one of the soldiers, and there are 305,700 of them. Soldiers. He gives them all new equipment. He's also a gardener. He does amazing things with agriculture. This guy is amazing. Amazing. And so are you in some ways. But the Bible says something really scary to me. Let's look at it. 2 Chronicles 26. Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was 16 years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. We already read that. This is a different account of it. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors. We already read that, but this is a different account. Watch this. Uzziah was 16 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem 52 years. His mother's name was Jecaliah, and she was from Jerusalem. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. He sought God during the days of Zechariah. Zechariah was the one who mentored him, who instructed him in the fear of God. Listen to this verse. It's going to feel haunting. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success. The next several verses really break that down. All of the successes God gave him. It says God strengthened him. God helped him. God upheld him. God resourced him. You go all the way down to verse 16. It says, After Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. Now listen to this. Azariah the priest… This is a different Azariah, as if it wasn't confusing enough already. There have to be two Azariahs and one who are the same. Azariah the priest with 80 other courageous priests of the Lord followed him, and they confronted King Uzziah and said, It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That's for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary. You've been unfaithful. You might be honored by the Lord God. The kings weren't allowed to burn this incense. It was for the priests to do. You always get in trouble when you try to do what God called somebody else to do, when you start wishing you could be this one or that one. Uzziah was powerful. God called him. Don't get it twisted. God anointed him. God put the crown on his head no matter whose hands he used to position it there. It was God who did it, but then he got out of his place, and even when he was corrected, he wouldn't listen. Listen to verse 19. God is bringing you to this point today, and I want you to hear this as a warning for your life. Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand, ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the Lord's temple, leprosy broke out on his forehead. When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the Lord had afflicted him. Now listen to this. I wish the story ended differently, but I have to give it to you how it is in the Bible, because I don't write the book. I'm just giving you the mail. The Bible says King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house, leprous, and banned from the temple of the Lord. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land. The other events of Uzziah's reign from beginning to end are recorded by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amos. Uzziah rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a cemetery that belonged to the kings, for the people said he had leprosy, and Jotham his son succeeded him as king. All he did, and the people said… Give me verse 23 again. People said… Do you see that? I'm going to wait for you to find it. People said he had leprosy, and he died like that, because he forgot that God was the one. You die alone when you forget that God is the one, and you live alone when you forget that God is the one. Your worship gets weak when you forget that God is the one. You start running from what God has called you to when you forget that God is the one, and you feel cut off when you forget that God is the one. How many are grateful that of all the kings that are in 2 Kings 14, none of those kings are the one we came to worship today? Thank you. People will disappoint you, but God will carry you. People will leave you. God never will. The Bible says King Uzziah died with leprosy, a skin condition that isolated him, but you don't have to. You don't have to stay away. Do you know why? Isaiah prophesied to Uzziah, but he did not prophesy about Uzziah. Isaiah prophesied about another king, a king who would come at a later date. A king who would not come through any human father, but a king who would come not in a palace, a king who would come in a Palestinian environment that would have been unfit for many animals. The thing I want you to know today for all of you who feel alone… I have no one. I am no one. I can't rebuild. I can't recover. I'm down here, and I have to stay here, and there is no more for me, and I'm not the one. The sermon is for somebody else, because I've tried this before, and it didn't work. I wanted you to know this from the heart of God today for his child. Your leprosy is not your legacy. This leprosy, this issue… Everybody has something like that. Not a skin disease, not something others can see on your forehead, but a label that follows you through life, a condition, an issue, a struggle, a tendency, something that has been with you and may even consuming you. This leprosy will not be my legacy. Say it by faith. This leprosy will not be my legacy. One more time. Say, this leprosy, this label, this limitation, this loneliness will not be my legacy. Now look at your neighbor and say, God is not through with you. Let me tell you how I know God is not through with you. Do you know how I know he's not through with you? Because it did not end in 2 Chronicles 26 with Uzziah. Flip on over to Matthew, chapter 1. I feel like preaching, because the Bible says… No piano. Give me some organ. Uzziah. Who was Uzziah? The father of Jotham. He died of leprosy, and people said he had leprosy. Well, that's what people said, but that's not what God said. God said he was the one who rebuilt Elah. I need everybody to give God praise if you're grateful that people don't have the final word in your life. People! Oh, give God praise if you're set free from what people say. People can say what they want to say. People can say what they want to say. I'm not listening to people. I'm listening to prophecy. What did God say about you? If he said you're the one, guess what? You're the one. Come with me to Matthew, chapter 1, verse 9. You're eating. You're like, That's sad. He died of leprosy, but somebody say, This leprosy is not my legacy. No, because Uzziah… Who was he? Well, he was the one who was the father of Jotham. Who was Jotham? Let's play Jeopardy. He was the one who was the father of Ahaz. I'm getting happy, because I'm thinking about everything God is still going to do in your life that you can't see right now, everything God is going to bring through you, everything important God still has in your future. That's why the Devil is fighting you so hard. That's why you can't sleep at night. That's why you're tossing and turning. That's why you're kind of restless. That's why you're kind of lonely, because God is raising you up. All right. Just preach the text. Let's go back to the text. He was the one. Ahaz. Who was he? He was the one who was the father of Hezekiah. Verse 10. Hezekiah. He was the one who was the father of Manasseh. He was the one who was the father of Ammon. He was the one who was the father of Josiah. He was the one who was the father of Jeconiah. Who was Jeconiah? He was the one. Verse 12. He was the father of shealtiel. He was the one who was the father of Zerubbabel. He was the one who was the father of Abedadah. He was the one who was the father of Eliakim. He was the one who was the father of Ahor. He was the one who was the father of Zadok. He was the one who was the father of Achim. He was the one who was the father of El terrestrial waters. I told you I can't pronounce these words. I'm Wheel of Fortune. I'm Passaic, baby. He was the one who was the father of Mathem. He was the one who was the father of Jacob. Now get ready to celebrate, because who was Jacob? He was the one who was the father of Joseph. He was the one who was the husband of Mary. She was the one who was the mother of… Praise Him. Praise Him. Praise Him for the port city. Praise Him for the purpose. Praise Him for what He's bringing through. Praise Him for the prophecy. Praise Him for the Savior. He was the one. And this leprosy is not your legacy. I speak Jesus over your life. I speak Jesus over your business. I speak Jesus over your mind. Jesus is the one. Jesus is the one. Jesus is the one. Who's going to do it? Jesus. Who's going to see you through? Jesus. It has always been him, bro. Since you were a little boy, he was watching out for you. Since you were a little girl, he was raising you up. He called you, and he chose you. You are going to be the one to rebuild and restore so that Jesus can come forth in your life. I declare God is bringing something forth in this moment. Who receives it? Come on. Make your heart a port city right now. Say, God, I receive it. I receive it. I receive it. Now you're going to be the one. She was the one who went to counseling and worked through her past so that it did not become the lid of her future. She was the one. He was the one who decided to give his gifts to God rather than using them to serve the world. He was the one. He was the one who decided to open a door for others rather than always trying to make it about himself. He was the one. What one will you be? I love that story in the Bible where ten lepers came up to Jesus. They knew he was the one who could heal them. I don't know if you get the richness of this. He was the prophet, the priest, and the king, all of those things in one. They had been to their priest. Their priest couldn't do it. They came to Jesus, and he told them, Go to the priest, and you will be healed as you go. In Luke 17, verse 15, the Bible says that one of them, one of the ten, when he saw that he was healed, came back, praising God with a whisper. What does the Bible say in a loud voice? He realized, This leprosy is not my legacy. You don't have to stay outside anymore. He is Emmanuel God with us. One of them came back. If I preach this sermon, everything I've said today for one person to come back, it will be worth it, because I believe you are a port city. I believe things are going to flow through you that are going to change lives you will never meet. Jesus was the one with healing, and it is at his feet that we fall today. Lord God, this is the part of the sermon where I stop speaking but you don't, because there are things you want to open up for the people you brought to hear this word today. They have been labeled by life, labeled by lies, but I declare that label will not be their legacy. Alcoholic will not be their legacy. Addict will not be their legacy. Bitter will not be their legacy. Failure will not be their legacy. Defeat will not be their legacy. The heritage of the servants of God is the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our righteousness comes from you. You are the one. So, Father, I stretch my hands to you today, for every time the Devil has tried to tell me, I am no one and I have no one, I have someone. His name is Jesus, and he is the one who opens blind eyes. He is the one who causes the lame to walk. He is the one who forgives the sinner. He is the one who raises the dead. He is the one who speaks for the Word, and we are healed. I wonder who is that one today that God gave me this message for. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, there's someone in here, and you need to throw yourself at the feet of Jesus today. We're going to pray a prayer right now. This prayer is not to people. This prayer is to Jesus. He's the one who can save you. I said he's the one. Somebody say it. He's the one. You've been running to everything else. You've been running to sex. You've been running to drugs. You've been running to religion. You've been running to others. You've been running to achievement. You've been running to aspiration, but he's the one. He's the one who can save. So, right now, in the stillness of this moment, I want to lead you in a prayer. If you pray this prayer from your heart, the Bible says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is your faith in Christ that saves you, not your good works, just your faith in him. So, right now, if you need to come back to God, if you are that one who needs to come back and receive the grace of God, I want you to pray this with me. We're praying it as a church family, everybody all together praying out loud. Repeat after me. Heavenly Father, I am the one. I am a sinner in need of a Savior, and I believe that Jesus Christ is the one true God. I believe he died that I could be forgiven and rose again to give me life. I receive this new life. This is my new beginning. I am a child of God. On the count of three, shoot your hand up if you prayed that. One, two, three. Hands up online. Hands up online. I celebrate you. I celebrate you. Church, the Bible says there's rejoicing over one sinner in heaven. All the angels rejoice when one comes back. Let's celebrate the one. Come on, let's celebrate somebody's daughter, somebody's son, somebody's brother, somebody's sister. Let's celebrate. God bless you.

"He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors. So let's play again. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors, who is, verse 21, Azariah, the kid who became a king at 16 years old. Do any of you have teenagers? Have you been a teenager? Can you imagine being a king at age 16, and yet he was the one to do it? That's the title I want to use for the message today, a very simple thought. He was the one. He was the one. Say that out loud. He was the one. Put it in the chats or the comments if you're joining us online. He was the one. They didn't ask him. They didn't let him run for office. He didn't get to decide if he had a career in politics. The Bible says, Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was 16 years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. Amaziah did some dumb stuff. There's a motivational speaker who likes to say every life is either a warning or an example. Which one do you want your life to be? I don't mean to argue with the motivational speaker, but don't you think every life is a warning and an example at some points? It depends on which part of my life you're looking at, whether I'm a warning or an example. It depends on what point in time you judge it, whether it would be a warning or an example. We've all seen people whose examples we tried to follow until we found out their example that was being set was leading toward an end we couldn't have seen coming. Yet I'm grateful for the grace of God, because he uses it all. In the case of Amaziah, the dad you read about in this passage, he did some amazing stuff. The Bible said he was the one who killed these 10,000 Edomites and ran them off a cliff. He did that to take back some land God had given to people. Then he turned around and did something so dumb. He attacked the king of Israel, who was stronger than him. The king of Israel tried to warn him. He's like, yo, man, you're a thistle to me. That's what he said. He said, don't come and try to start this with me. He's like, I am not the one. I just said he was the one. He's like, I am not the one you want to mess with. He was right. He goes in and punishes them greatly. The people take that king, Amaziah, and they're like, we're putting your son in your place. He doesn't really have a say in the matter. They begin to reign together when Azariah is 16. Then after Amaziah dies, Azariah takes the throne. He was the one, the Bible says. Let's go back to that phrase again, because this is where I want to focus. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah, his father, rested with his ancestors. I was telling Holly after we read that chapter that day, I said, that really spoke to me how the Bible said he was the one. She's like, okay. She actually said this to me. I thought it was the most boring chapter we've read in weeks. I didn't get anything out of it. I said, but let me tell you. We went for a walk, and I said, it made me realize that when it's all said and done, the summary of your life usually will be condensed to a few things in the end. That's one of the reasons why I really prioritize my family as a pastor, because you can get another pastor, but Abby only gets one dad. I don't know that I don't care about you. I just know that either by choice or if it was by coercion, I know you don't want another pastor. It would be a downgrade, but no, I'm kidding about that. There's different people God will use to feed you in different seasons, and I don't have any problem if God uses somebody else in your life. She only gets one. In fact, I was remembering when I read the phrase, he was the one. I was remembering when I went to a wrestling tournament to watch Graham, and he won the whole tournament. After the tournament… This is the first big tournament he won. This is a few years ago. He won. I almost didn't go to the tournament because I had to schedule somebody else to preach for me to go to the tournament. I looked at him after he won. We're sitting at Pizza Hut where all great book it and athletic celebrations happen. I said, can you imagine if you had won the whole tournament and I hadn't been here? He goes, but if you hadn't been here, I probably wouldn't have won it. Remember that? I miss stuff my kids do, just like you do all the time, but it reminded me of something. Even if I'm stuck in this narrative in my life that I'm really no one special, I'm really no one, and I have no one, it's a lie. If I believe that I am no one and that I have no one, as so many of us do, I think that's the thing the Devil just tries to get you to believe over and over again in different ways. He'll put evidence in front of you and thoughts inside of you to try to convince you that I am no one, I have no one. Those two things. Write those down, because I want you to be like a detective on the Devil this week for when he says it to you. You're like, oh yeah, that's what the sermon was about. We all sometimes feel like I am no one, nobody compared to that person, no one that really makes a difference. I mean, come on, Pastor Steven. You're preaching about a king in the Bible who restored and rebuilt a city. What does this have to do with me? I'm just trying to get my kid to school one time on time next week. Just one time on time. That would be my Bible verse. He was the one who got his kid to school one time on time. If he can't tell you that you are no one, I tell you you have no one. So I said to Holly, that really touched me to know that the Bible said he was the one. In fact, in 2 Kings… I knew I couldn't stay in that chair very long. How long did I make it? Five minutes? In 2 Kings, it goes three times. It says he was the one, and it talks about one certain king. He was the one, and it talks about another certain king. He was the one, and it talks about another certain king. At first, you're reading this going, well, this has nothing to do with me, because I'm not a king, and I'm not in charge of military resources. They won't even trust me to bring coffee, because they know it'll be spilled by the time I get there. I can't even get the coffee order right. I'm not the one like that, but I read it over and over again. I thought about Graham, and I thought about my life, and I thought about the things God has called me to do, and I thought about the people God has called me to shepherd. I realized we need to talk about he was the one for all of those times in your life where you feel like, I am no one and I have no one. What I said to Holly was, this guy in the Bible… There were three of them. I said, they list their accomplishments even though all three of them technically failed at turning the nation around, but it still gives you this little glimpse in there. He didn't get it all right, but he was the one who did something right. I think we need to learn how to… I don't want to say talk back to the Devil, because it would probably be better to talk to God, but can I just say we need to defy the Devil every once in a while to defy the Devil when he says, you're no one, because look how many followers they have. Look how many friends they have. Look how far along they are in their career. Look how much money they have. You don't know how much money they have. Every bit of what they're wearing on their body might be borrowed. You don't know if they paid for that brand name in cash. So you don't even know. I'm no one, and I have no one. The Bible speaks up for this king, Azariah, and it says he was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. He rebuilt and he restored. He rebuilt and he restored. He was the one. He didn't get it all right. He didn't remove the high places where they were worshiping the Canaanite gods, but he was the one who rebuilt and restored. I came to remind somebody today, you are the one. I can see we need to talk about this, because you're slow to warm up to the idea, because you've been in that, I'm no one, and you even think that's humble, right? You even think that's godly. I must decrease that he may increase. It does not increase God for you to shrink back from what he called you to do. Somebody say, he was the one. He was the one. It's important that we know that, because if you just read about this… His name was Azariah, but I even studied about Azariah, and you know what I found out? What? I'm playing tennis with myself up here sometimes. I found out that the king named Azariah, who I thought I had never heard of before, is the same guy called Uzziah that Isaiah mentions in the famous throne room scene in Isaiah, chapter 6. Now check this out. He was the prophet who prophesied to Azariah, whose name was also Uzziah. Uzziah was his throne name. Azariah was his personal name. There's only one consonant different in Hebrew, so if we need Vanna White to come out and we just change one letter… This is the guy who Isaiah the prophet says in Isaiah, chapter 6, verse 1. In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and lifted up, seated on a throne, and the train of his robe filled the temple. In the year Uzziah died… That's the same guy Uzziah is talking about. He was the one who died the year Isaiah saw the Lord and had his lips touched with coal.

"He was the one who built an ark. He was the one who stretched out his staff and who is Moses. I'm not going to trick you, but I am going to get harder. He was the one who fought the battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down. Who is Joshua? He was the one who took a rock, that big old ugly nine-foot giant standing in front of him, hit the giant with a rock. Had five, only needed one, because he had good aim. Who is David? Now, the next one. I have to read this one. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors. That's right. I didn't know it either. We came across it in our Bible reading. I'm in a Bible reading club with my oldest son, Kelsey, and beautiful Holly Furtick. We came across this passage. We're reading through 2 Kings, and I am going to give you the answer. It's in 2 Kings 14, 21, and 22. It came across this phrase, and I'm trying these days to give you the sermon in the Spirit that I received it more and more. So that means less distance between how God speaks it to me and how I speak it to you. So I don't want to dress it up too much where it loses its impact. For me, I was just reading… The book of 2 Kings can get kind of monotonous. It has all of these bad kings in the northern kingdom of Israel. There wasn't one good one. In Judah, the southern kingdom, because it was a divided kingdom… There are eight good kings, but there are over 20 kings in all. It's mostly like going through and saying this is the king that reigned during this prophet's tenure as a prophet, and he was a bad king, and he did some things right, and then he did some things horrible. So you just kind of get in this mode, reading it just day after day, chapter after chapter, where you're just hoping, like, maybe this guy will get it right, because they keep letting the nation worship idols, and you keep going, stop worshiping the idols. Worship God. Then you wonder if maybe somebody would say that about you if they watched your life too. Stop worshiping money. Stop worshiping stuff. Stop worshiping acceptance. Stop… Anyway, maybe not you. Just me. Okay. Just me. Just me. Okay. Okay. So we come across this, and this phrase stood out to me. I'm going to give you two verses from 2 Kings 14, 21, and 22, coming up on the screen right now. Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was 16 years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. Sit down, and let's get into it today. I'm going to sit down with you. We'll get into the sermon a little differently. I'm going to do it like if it was Jeopardy. Does anybody watch Jeopardy? At my mom's house on Wednesday night, she cooks for us, and we watch Jeopardy and then Wheel of Fortune, but I'm more on that Wheel of Fortune intelligence level if I'm being honest with you than the Jeopardy intelligence level. I really am. That's true. So, Wheel of Fortune is really our show. It's called Vittles, Vinyls, and Vanna. I go over to my mom's. She cooks vittles for us, and then she picks out a vinyl. I have a record player, so we'll listen to something like Creedence Clearwater Revival or something safe, sanctified, sanctimonious, like that. Then we'll watch Vanna White. Anyway, that's not the point. I'm going to do my sermon illustration like it's Jeopardy, and not to put you on the spot, but just to kind of get into the subject for today. I want you to play along if you're at home. I'm going to say a description of a Bible character. We won't go long with this, and then you'll just say in the form of a question like they do on Jeopardy, who is blank if you know it. If you don't know, it's okay. Put it online if you do know it, though.

"What are you not telling yourself? We can't actually do that unfortunately except in two commercials. I think it's a shoe commercial. So you can't go back and tell 18 year old Dirk what to expect or how to handle it. But you do have Luca and there were all these comparisons appropriate or not. And I know you said to Stein, I don't really consider myself a mentor just a friend and a sounding board, whatever. But that's kind of the opportunity, right? Like you can tell a young Luca what young Dirk may be needed to know. So is there anything to that? Are there some things that where it's like you are looking at him as the version of you then that needed to hear some things that maybe you did not know? Well, you know, I think I'm a big fan of going through stuff. I think you can't always say, hey, you need to do such and such. I think everybody kind of has to find their own way, make their own experiences and learn from maybe some mistakes. Of course, I want to be there for them and guide them through if there's anything, but I still think it needs to go through some of the tough times and that makes you better makes you in a more complete player and more complete person. So but if there's anything always I can help him with, I'm obviously in this corner. I want him to succeed. He's a great kid and a wonderful, wonderful player. So, you know, I'm always there for him if he needs me. And I'm not sure what I would tell myself if I was 1920 coming a league now. I think some of these experiences are made were valuable. I think I would have probably changed my die a little earlier. We just didn't know that much about diet and training early in my 20s. As you know, we still had hamburgers and chicken fingers pregame. There was McDonald's in the locker room when I first just started covering this in the lab. We had no idea about that stuff. So I think that's some of the stuff I would have done a little earlier, but other than that, I had to go through these all these playoff losses and experiences to come out at the end on top. I think that's something I've learned as a parent too, right? Like my daughter is 16 now and there's all these things where I'm always like trying to think of like these ways I could tell her and you can't keep your kids or a protege like Luca. You can't keep them from making the same mistakes or whatever you're right. Like everybody has to kind of find their own way and it's something you kind of realize as a parent or in your case as maybe a mentor ish figure. But in the end, it's frustrating, right? Because I want to steer my daughter clear of like no, no, don't do that. That's idiotic thing to do. It's impossible. It's impossible to avoid. I wondered about this over the years. When you came in, so we've got this kind of European revolution for a time there. Paul Gasol comes in from Spain. You come in and there was an Italian influx at one point. And you kind of think this is the beginning of a wave, right? The NBA has become international. We talk about the 92 Olympics in the Dream Team as having opened up the world to this sport and there wasn't like this massive pipeline behind you though..

"Wasn't always all happy times for you in Dallas, either what's the closest you ever came to whether it would have been to walk away or to ask for a trade. Was there ever a moment where you seriously considered it? Not really. I think the only reason would have been if we wouldn't have won the championship at the end of my career, I could have maybe tried somewhere else to get that ring. I think that would have been really the only reason for me to leave, but for me, Dallas was the place. The people supported me from the beginning, even when things weren't going right for me in my first year and they always gave me standing ratio. So I felt like the fan base, they wanted me to succeed and they mark would obviously it was always loyal to me and making me the franchise player and so I always felt like in my heart I wanted to pay that loyalty back and be of course in Dallas for the rest of my career and like I said the only reason would have been to chase a ring somewhere team up with some other players but other than that that or fortunately that never came that way because we got that championship in the 11 and you know it's definitely new we always felt like the players didn't have enough power at the beginning of my career and the owners had all the power can make all the moves and now it's almost shifting a little bit of too much. I think there should be like a happy medium but now the players forcing themselves out to me is not the way to go either. So I wish we could find a little happy medium there. I'm not sure how to get there. But yeah, I was old school for me, I don't want to sit here and judge these guys that are doing that. I think everybody has to know what's best for themselves for their career for their brand. Everybody has a brand now and what's best for their family. For me, it was staying in Dallas. It worked out great there and I've had my family there and I loved it and I grew into that community. So that's something that just worked for me, but of course I get it. It's not for everybody. When you watch the game now, you see what Giannis at essentially 7 feet is doing. What Joel embiid is doing, what jokic is doing, do you watch those guys and go like, yeah, I did that. I don't mean that you did what they're doing, but like you paved the way. You were the 7 footer who stepped out and hit threes and one legged shots and put the ball on the deck and everything else and changed the way we view 7 footers. So do you see those are a little pride in where this is gone? Of course, it's great to see these guys come over and do all that come from Europe or forever from Africa. And have an impact on this league and play the way they play. It's fun to see. I think it just shows the evolution of basketball of the league the last 20, 25 years..

"Mister Nash is in COVID protocols as we tape this. This will publish on Friday, but it's Tuesday, I'll let the listeners know as we're recording this, you're going to protocols last night. I didn't know that. No. Because I almost went to this game, so he coached it last night. No, pregame. He sat down, he's kind of coughing and sounding not so great at whatever and did his whole pre game media and the next thing you know he was tested into protocols. So that was that. I think Jacques von coached lesson. I didn't know that. Because last night we had an event with the book, and then we were on to dinner, so I didn't even see that. Yeah. I'll take some now. Joe was thinking, if you had any plans to see him while you were here briefly, I guess that would be out the window. Last night would have been the time to go, but no, no, I didn't. I'm not going to end up seeing him. How often do you check in with him? He's had the weirdest start to a coaching career. Obviously he came in, you got a star stock team and everything else, and then another star, but now that star's gone and it's a different star, hardened Simmons, whatever Kyrie plays only have to get. It's nuts. How's he holding up? Are you are you counseling him long distance? You know, honestly, I'll check on him once in a while. I don't want to bother him too much. I know he's there's a lot on his plate. There is a lot on his plate, leading, leading that ship. So I check in occasionally on him every couple of weeks, say, hey, how's it going? How are you feeling? And then I don't want to bother him with basketball questions and stuff. He needs to talk about anyways every day and give a press conference. So I want to check on him. How's he doing? How's life? How are the kids? And I'm sure when we get together at some point, maybe after the season, we'll dive a little bit further into what's happening, how was the season? But I don't really want to pile on and start asking how is Katie? How's this health when is it coming back? That's not me and I don't want to bother him, but I'm sure it's a lot. In the New York market, of course, and then the high expectations, the pressure, and then all the injuries that came, I still think if Kyrie and harden don't get hurt last year to me, they should have won the championship. So it was disappointing..

"So there were some cold times. I would describe them, but other get the end of the day. There's mutual respect there for each other's careers. And what they did for the sport and for their team. So I think these cold times or frosty times are behind us and I'm happy for them. What he's been able to accomplish and now what he's doing after his career with TV and obviously part owner now of the jazz and so he's doing big things and I'm happy for him. And he grudges from your MBA career. Anybody who wrote into you to be like not turn around walking the other way or you know me, I'm super easygoing. There is a few guys that are a little sensitive. They thought that I got them traded. Which of course is not really the case. It's a fine line of being a franchise player and sometimes being involved on the business side or knowing about trade rumors and stuff like that. But other than that, I don't have any grudges against our teammates or exponents, not at all. I usually got to I got to the gym. I try to help my team win and I was all about business and then I went home to my family or do my own thing. So I was I was never really getting too involved with opponents. I figured not, but I figured I'd ask. And so the NBA 75 ceremony itself was rather amazing. I can't remember how many was it not 60 40, 50, whatever, that of you that were actually there. And it wasn't just the ceremony. There were some time where you guys were, I think, gathered up for some photo opportunities and everything else. I think the Cavs practice court. What was that like were there guys that you set out? Did you when you arrived the weekend? Were there guys that you're like, I need to meet this guy, 'cause I had met him before or just people you wanted to rub elbows with for the first time. Tell me, who were the big ones for you? Well, I got to say that was the most special moment of that weekend. I was a little late. And then I came in on the cast practice and I walked in and almost everybody was there already. And just seeing everybody and that was, I think, the most special moment for me just the wow effect, like I'm a part of this group right here. Look around, this is fantastic. So I think that was the most special moment of the whole weekend walking on the cast practice facility that was unbelievable. Really shared some great lasso with everybody to talk to schacht, doctor Charles Barkley, of course, who I love. Got to meet bob Pettit for the first time. That was super cool. Talk to Kareem a little bit of had a photo shoot for the whole 75 thing a few months earlier and there was not one guy talked to Kevin McHale a bunch and the admiral, of course, big fan. So I don't know. It was just super cool to be in that room and being part of the crew. And I missed a couple. I wish timid Duncan was there, you know, Carl Malone or my boy Steve Nash, I missed a couple of the guys that are shared with some great battles with, but it's still amazing the guys that guys that were there..

"Abrash in the comics you certainly come to side with him in the face of evil similarly with kali though sam had a great speech very effective a one of the best written for the show. Did you gain sympathy for carly after death. I sent me did little bit little bit. Was sam you know. I think he he phrased so eloquently that he didn't have a problem with her goals. It was her methods. That was the problem the way she was out. He literally in fact she was misguided which is exactly the point and ray continuing is still viewed her evil in the way she didn't consider human life and in brackets. He says she indirectly even says battle stars. Life was pointless very influence. She was a little bit of a sociopath that regard so though i very much sided with sam when he told off the senators i couldn't find the same empathy sam had for carly i think arro- was written quite opened down in that sense. I think we're meant to feel disgust. Then have empathy for her but it was quite a difficult thing to balance. I guess that's the point though. Everything isn't necessarily black and white. Don't think that's that's the conclusion of the message. I haven't missed any now. I just want to make sure i have anything. They're going to cut you off ray. So no exact exactly. I'm just going to check you. Troll here are the hibbs exactly. That's right now we don't we. Don't edit anything whatsoever just checking out here we go okay. Kazaa empathy. No that's it yeah. He everything isn't necessarily black and white so okay so i just went to double check. Okay yeah well. Thank you ray for riding in very much. Yeah next time you can. It's you're okay to come through the front window front door instead of the back window. Like i said exactly we. You woke of your concern. We we definitely appreciate you listening. And watching the fan of the falcon of the worst soldier with us because this has been a ball you know and i really enjoyed it. I've really enjoyed talking with nick.

"Be killed by the police. Go vague ear right in superheroes which in the marvel comics. Superheroes is reflecting the world outside your window because marvel likes to say. Hey you know. We're the convicts company that addresses these kinds of things where you know. That was one of their big slogans back in back in the day that staley liked to consider marvel the the world outside your window and so when when these tv shows these marvel comics tv shows. I might stress are doing that. I think that you kind of need to appreciate why that's happening. And if you do have a problem with it you need to. I think probably should do some self exploration about why you have that problem. I'm right with you. I do think some so searching required from these individuals who feel this way not to mention if you want. tv shows to be more sophisticated russia's the way you go if you just want to kind of ignorant dumb kind of series of people fighting yeah slice. Vela's slugfest exactly. How do you expect this genre to move forward to be recognized at a higher level if you don't su dress like this also. I didn't think they were particularly preachy. Either i've seen some breaches shows. Believe you me you and i actually to knock on tangent charles for you and i watched penny dreadful city of angels right and you felt that was excessively preachy. A little bit a little bit. I know that there's some criticism of supergirl because that's show can really get up on the soapbox down then blatantly so but here i mean this subject matter that was addressed. Here you know in this episode has been addressed throughout the previous episodes. Exactly it all. This is just a culmination of that. This is where it's brought to. Its climax in the story. And you know. A very transitional. Moment for sam wilson so. I don't really get you knew that going in. Why are you suddenly so upset about it. Now unless you're just upset that again that a black man is captain america. Now i as i mentioned. I just think it's people being bought sore about where everything's been happening..

"Yes so that was nice to have that little bit of continuity throughout all these episodes because they look great in thought. She did a great job at direction in this series. Oh so well paced charles this. It was amazing how quickly this episode possibly by in the sense that just the action packed there was emotion and everything was addressed and tied up so well. I take my hat off to this. Kind of finale. Didn't few clunky. It didn't drag on and you got a little bit of everything so definitely kudos to it just carries for room for sure. And hopefully you'll get more and more projects and bigger projects. 'cause now we've seen what she can do right so hopefully she will get more more work to do when it comes to the mc for sure nice if she got a certain movie yes which will talk about this. I'm so hoping they do give her that. I think that would be a nice little bit of continuity if she she took over the next captain america movie as we learned in going to happen so we told you so if you remember last week so seeing is she ushered in this new captain america. I think we'd be only fat disney to give this woman. Yeah johnston the movie. I think she proved it. I think she proved she can handle it so here. We are the final episode. What else was your general reaction to this. Because i gather you enjoy the finale. I thought you appreciate that wrapped up a lot of loose ends like you said yes. Was there anything else that your actions regarding this episode look. I don't think you could have done any better than this. Because i suppose you possibly could have done in a second post credit scene teasing future movie. That didn't happen. But i'm still satisfied because maybe unlike one division waited. Leave a lot hanging threads hanging out. It didn't really. It was may because some people can see it as a cop out. I think this was less of a cop out. In the sense it concluded the yard. It said here is where we're at. The objective was to be a coming of age. Show if you will or the next era and they accomplished that so there was nothing. I felt unsatisfied about the only thing that was unsatisfied. About was they were anymore episode. I'll happy about it. Chose did you have any nitpicks complaints. When he came to this finale. Though i mean i was trying to read some of the online reactions to this and unfortunately there's a segment in. I kinda knew this was coming given the subject matter in this particular episode. There's a there's a contingent that obviously hated the idea that this was this episode is bogged down in. What they they feel as he'll woke miss. It's the politics of everything in in trying to understand why people for whatever reason think that a hero named captain america wouldn't have any kind of political connection exactly it comes with the territory right right the name america..
