Speaker:I don't think we have more than ten
Speaker:billion.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:What is the current population of the
Speaker:world?
Speaker:Hey,
Speaker:you had some exciting stuff happen
Speaker:yesterday.
Speaker:Yes, Friday.
Speaker:We talked about it yesterday.
Speaker:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker:We talked about it before,
Speaker:but your show has become a reality as
Speaker:far as recording all the segments.
Speaker:We did.
Speaker:We recorded our first show yesterday for
Speaker:the Real Life Network.
Speaker:It's going to be a broadcast TV show.
Speaker:Was the name difficult to come up with?
Speaker:Living Fearless?
Speaker:No, the other show, your show.
Speaker:Hedia?
Speaker:Oh, that's called Hedia?
Speaker:Oh.
Speaker:You know how to Doberman pincer?
Speaker:Some years ago I had a Doberman pincer
Speaker:dog.
Speaker:Oh, it's not a pincher?
Speaker:No, pincer.
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:I always thought they were Doberman
Speaker:pinchers.
Speaker:No, pincer.
Speaker:It's German.
Speaker:Okay, pincer.
Speaker:Pincer.
Speaker:And you know the name of the Doberman?
Speaker:How do you?
Speaker:No, Dobie.
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:I had the same problem you did coming
Speaker:up with a name.
Speaker:It wasn't my idea.
Speaker:I bought it, actually.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:I think it's fantastic because it's
Speaker:unique.
Speaker:There's no other show on the planet called
Speaker:Hedia.
Speaker:As of now, I guess.
Speaker:As far as we know.
Speaker:But the information that you're going to
Speaker:be giving out is critical now to what's
Speaker:going on in our world.
Speaker:I think it's needed.
Speaker:Pastor Jack's a visionary.
Speaker:I think it'll be big.
Speaker:Just got to make sure people know where
Speaker:to find it and how to see it.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:and also they don't kick us off the
Speaker:air.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Well, it's on his own network, though.
Speaker:Did he control it essentially?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:Oh.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's on our network,
Speaker:but it's being carried by channels that
Speaker:theoretically could kick us off.
Speaker:Our television channels.
Speaker:Yeah, we don't know.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:We don't know how that's going to work
Speaker:out.
Speaker:We're assuming it.
Speaker:Well, in that case,
Speaker:it's not going to last long,
Speaker:so make sure.
Speaker:Catch it while you can.
Speaker:No,
Speaker:we have confidence we're not going to get
Speaker:kicked off.
Speaker:What are some of the topics in these
Speaker:episodes that you filmed that people can
Speaker:look forward to?
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:we decided to do the first couple ones
Speaker:evergreen.
Speaker:So it's just kind of laying down what
Speaker:I've been harping on from Raymond
Speaker:Ibrahim's historical account of
Speaker:Christendom and the loss of Christendom,
Speaker:really trying to drive home the point that
Speaker:this conflict of Christendom with Islam
Speaker:has been going on for fourteen hundred
Speaker:years almost.
Speaker:And we really need to see it clearly.
Speaker:We'll talk about that a little bit more
Speaker:tonight.
Speaker:So we talk about that and we talk
Speaker:about the brotherhood and the plan of the
Speaker:brotherhood for the United States.
Speaker:And at the end,
Speaker:it ends with witnessing to Muslims,
Speaker:which is always a point.
Speaker:I have a couple of questions about that
Speaker:later on.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I think it's just been kind of coming
Speaker:around.
Speaker:Have you been watching any of the TPUSA?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Amfest.
Speaker:Amfest.
Speaker:Gosh,
Speaker:I just I've been watching it for three
Speaker:days and I can't remember the name of
Speaker:it.
Speaker:And they're not talking about Islam very
Speaker:much.
Speaker:Only one was Tucker.
Speaker:Martin Sedra.
Speaker:We need to love them, too.
Speaker:Yeah, Tucker is on some weird...
Speaker:It's based on that topic.
Speaker:So remind me if I forget at the
Speaker:end of the show.
Speaker:We'll have some discussion about that.
Speaker:But yeah,
Speaker:I'm a little surprised how little,
Speaker:considering we believe,
Speaker:because I'm on the end of the red
Speaker:part, right?
Speaker:I'm on the red part,
Speaker:you're on the green part.
Speaker:Which one is the Islamist?
Speaker:What color is that?
Speaker:Red-green alliance.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Which one did I forget?
Speaker:Which one is which?
Speaker:Green.
Speaker:Oh, green.
Speaker:Oh, the greenies.
Speaker:Islam is the color green.
Speaker:Like motto.
Speaker:I, well, I,
Speaker:the only reason I get confused is because
Speaker:all of the liberals that.
Speaker:Oh, we call them the greenies.
Speaker:We call them the greenies and they.
Speaker:That's a Yorba Linda thing.
Speaker:And they have green hair and they wear
Speaker:green shirts.
Speaker:Because in, uh, the red is communist,
Speaker:communist red.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Red.
Speaker:I tend to stick with more of the
Speaker:Marxist communist stuff that's being
Speaker:pushed on our children in school.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Uh,
Speaker:and then you were on the Islamist side,
Speaker:but somehow they've been able to partner
Speaker:up.
Speaker:Oh, for decades, if not centuries.
Speaker:So we're going to be talking about
Speaker:standing firm in a time of chaos,
Speaker:which really seems to be a time of
Speaker:chaos.
Speaker:And so I think what is really the
Speaker:point we need to drive home is that
Speaker:what we see unfolding right now,
Speaker:it looks like random acts of violence,
Speaker:like everybody's just gone mad,
Speaker:but it's not disconnected chaos.
Speaker:It's really this ideological convergence.
Speaker:And most importantly for us as Christians,
Speaker:we have to understand it's spiritual.
Speaker:So when we're seeing all the attacks,
Speaker:the shootings,
Speaker:these plots that are being stopped by the
Speaker:FBI,
Speaker:one was in Los Angeles not too long
Speaker:ago.
Speaker:That's a big one.
Speaker:And all the other stuff,
Speaker:the assassinations and assassination
Speaker:attempts.
Speaker:Bondi Beach massacre.
Speaker:Fifteen people are dead.
Speaker:What?
Speaker:In Bondi Beach,
Speaker:sixteen people are now dead.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Forty plus injured.
Speaker:So it seems like everything's escalating
Speaker:all at once.
Speaker:All of these things at the same time.
Speaker:So what's going on?
Speaker:Well, again,
Speaker:if we want to look at it from
Speaker:a spiritual perspective,
Speaker:we can't be ignorant of the devil's
Speaker:schemes.
Speaker:And so it's not about living in fear.
Speaker:It's just looking at it with clarity,
Speaker:because when we are not in denial about
Speaker:what happens,
Speaker:it makes it easier to stand firm.
Speaker:And I think towards the end,
Speaker:I'm going to put this in a historical
Speaker:context,
Speaker:because I really think this is a plight
Speaker:of Christians that we've seen
Speaker:Really over millennia that we we tend to
Speaker:cower in the face of in particular the
Speaker:threat of Islam because of our own like
Speaker:self-criticism and our own failures as as
Speaker:a people as a disciplined people of
Speaker:Christians and it leads to
Speaker:It leads to the loss of our societies
Speaker:and it has for centuries,
Speaker:fourteen hundred years.
Speaker:We've lost city after city after country
Speaker:after country because of these internal
Speaker:struggles.
Speaker:And we'll get into that a bit more,
Speaker:but let's start with the beginning.
Speaker:So we see the targeted violence against
Speaker:the Jewish community overseas in Bondi
Speaker:Beach in Australia.
Speaker:And we see the shooting at an elite
Speaker:American university on campus.
Speaker:We saw the ambush of the National Guards
Speaker:in D.C.
Speaker:And then we see this very large domestic
Speaker:terror plot.
Speaker:Everything with, you know,
Speaker:training on explosive devices,
Speaker:discovering ready-made bombs,
Speaker:very sophisticated ready-made bombs,
Speaker:weaponry.
Speaker:It was really...
Speaker:to be a very massive terrorist attack and
Speaker:so these are all different places
Speaker:different actors and yet somehow the same
Speaker:underlying worldview so when you say
Speaker:worldview you're not talking politics
Speaker:right no you're talking a belief system uh
Speaker:these aren't just crimes right
Speaker:And that's the way people are talking
Speaker:about them.
Speaker:Oh, we have this,
Speaker:and then we have that.
Speaker:And everyone's just like putting them in
Speaker:these individual boxes and being like, ah,
Speaker:it's a Muslim.
Speaker:They shouted Allah Akbar.
Speaker:You know, like everybody, you know,
Speaker:trying to find the box that they're going
Speaker:to put this terrorist attack to achieve
Speaker:the political motive that they want.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:instead of seeing it cohesively as an
Speaker:attack on moral order.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:This is a really, this is actually,
Speaker:I mean, it's not good that it happened,
Speaker:but it's a good situation that we can
Speaker:now kind of say,
Speaker:do you see what we're talking about?
Speaker:That it's not a singular group.
Speaker:And even with my dear friend,
Speaker:Brandon House, I'm on his show often,
Speaker:I'm like this voice in the wilderness
Speaker:saying, listen,
Speaker:we need to stop putting these things in
Speaker:boxes.
Speaker:Because if we continue to do that,
Speaker:we're just infighting.
Speaker:We're not seeing that this red-green
Speaker:alliance has turned very violent and very
Speaker:dangerous.
Speaker:And we need to come together as civilized
Speaker:people against the uncivilized anarchists.
Speaker:And we need to find allies.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:we're not going to find allies in the
Speaker:radical left,
Speaker:but we will find allies in the Democrat
Speaker:Party.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:there are Jewish people in the Democrat
Speaker:Party that don't like the rise of
Speaker:anti-Semitism.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:There are reasonable people who believe in
Speaker:the American way.
Speaker:They just want bigger social systems.
Speaker:Like historically,
Speaker:to be a Democrat meant you want bigger
Speaker:government.
Speaker:You want more services.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:we would argue basically fiscal policy.
Speaker:You know, and there are, I believe,
Speaker:still some Democrats like that.
Speaker:We're not going to find allies in the
Speaker:radical left because they're supporting
Speaker:this movement.
Speaker:They want to tear down, not build up.
Speaker:But there are people, I think,
Speaker:on both sides of the aisle that still
Speaker:believe in America and the moral order of
Speaker:America.
Speaker:So, right, so just to clarify,
Speaker:these are attacks on order, authority,
Speaker:and really a moral structure,
Speaker:our moral structure.
Speaker:both as the country and Christianity.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Because America is a Christian nation.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so they're entwined whether people
Speaker:want to believe it or not.
Speaker:The attack on Jewish worshipers was not
Speaker:random.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And it was jihadist violence fueled by
Speaker:anti-Semitism.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:The ideology has one goal when it comes
Speaker:to Jews and its elimination.
Speaker:We cannot sugarcoat that one single bit.
Speaker:This is what they want.
Speaker:They want to have gone off the planet.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:Should we say hi to our friends?
Speaker:Oh, sure.
Speaker:Hi, Carrie.
Speaker:New login.
Speaker:Look at that.
Speaker:Hi, Kelly.
Speaker:And here we are.
Speaker:Hi.
Speaker:It's related to Satan's original lie in
Speaker:the garden.
Speaker:What does that name say?
Speaker:Fourth Adam.
Speaker:Hello there.
Speaker:And instead of accepting God's word and
Speaker:embodying his word,
Speaker:we accepted Satan's word and embodied
Speaker:that.
Speaker:God's blood lineage was defiled,
Speaker:hence the importance of the word.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Hedia, you look glamorous.
Speaker:Yeah, this is leftover from yesterday.
Speaker:It's the big caterpillar eyelashes.
Speaker:True, Hedia.
Speaker:It's attack on God's logos, his order.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Morality is the key issue.
Speaker:And we're going to get to that for
Speaker:sure.
Speaker:And Kerry says,
Speaker:finding too many divided on both sides
Speaker:because they're not in the word.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:You know, I mean,
Speaker:you just even see the right fracturing
Speaker:again over Israel.
Speaker:It's this and it was really I really
Speaker:encourage people if you go to right side
Speaker:broadcasting and watch the discussion
Speaker:between Steve Deese and Doug Wilson.
Speaker:Doug Wilson,
Speaker:who is a replacement theologist.
Speaker:But he explains and I'm so glad they
Speaker:brought him to explain that because he has
Speaker:street cred with what we call woke right.
Speaker:So people who believe in replacement
Speaker:theology.
Speaker:But he was saying, listen,
Speaker:you cannot your idea that the church has
Speaker:been grafted in to the promises of Israel
Speaker:and now encompass those those promises.
Speaker:does not allow you to be a jew
Speaker:hater he says we don't hate anyone he's
Speaker:like if you hate people for who they
Speaker:are as a race then you're not following
Speaker:christ and our and our first and foremost
Speaker:responsibility is to be christ-like so
Speaker:he's like that's absolutely off the table
Speaker:And he said it very powerfully,
Speaker:very eloquently.
Speaker:And Steve Deese, who was supposed to,
Speaker:I guess, argue replacement theology,
Speaker:instead said, you know,
Speaker:I stand on the intellectual scholarship of
Speaker:this man sitting here.
Speaker:So if you think I'm going to attack
Speaker:him, that's not what I'm going to do.
Speaker:He says,
Speaker:all I'm going to tell you is that
Speaker:Romans nine through eleven tells us what
Speaker:God's promises are for Israel.
Speaker:And we're going to see those come to
Speaker:fruition.
Speaker:So he just basically, you know,
Speaker:kind of built on what Doug said instead
Speaker:of trying to tear it down.
Speaker:But the questions that they were fielding
Speaker:from the audience,
Speaker:the hostility towards Israel and Steve
Speaker:Deese's responses were brilliant.
Speaker:Oh, really?
Speaker:Oh, my God, they were so good.
Speaker:So I really encourage you to watch that
Speaker:because he said because he's also talked
Speaker:about Islam.
Speaker:So he said he said, you know,
Speaker:we're so focused on Israel and about
Speaker:whether he's like, listen,
Speaker:if I had a choice,
Speaker:we wouldn't give a penny to anywhere,
Speaker:he says.
Speaker:But we gave one hundred and twenty percent
Speaker:more money to Ukraine.
Speaker:And he's like,
Speaker:I don't hear anybody complaining about
Speaker:that.
Speaker:Everybody just brings up the thirty nine
Speaker:billion to Israel,
Speaker:one of the most corrupt countries in the
Speaker:world.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And it's literally being siphoned off to
Speaker:God knows where.
Speaker:And he says,
Speaker:and then when you think about, you know,
Speaker:if you want to question whether Israel is
Speaker:a natural ally, he's like,
Speaker:why are we not questioning the nations
Speaker:that have been destroying us for fourteen
Speaker:hundred years?
Speaker:He's like,
Speaker:you're telling me that you think Israel is
Speaker:a bigger threat than the Islamic nations
Speaker:like Qatar and Saudi that have been trying
Speaker:to destroy us for fourteen hundred years?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so I was like, bam,
Speaker:he said it.
Speaker:But the fact that the audience was
Speaker:obsessed with the Israel question,
Speaker:and it comes up repeatedly in the open
Speaker:question time.
Speaker:So this is just super important that
Speaker:wherever you land theologically,
Speaker:and I'm sure most people listening to us
Speaker:are on the same side as us.
Speaker:We're dispensationalists.
Speaker:We're not replacement theology.
Speaker:Doesn't matter.
Speaker:It doesn't mean that we don't believe that
Speaker:God had a covenant and a relationship with
Speaker:the Jewish people.
Speaker:Now,
Speaker:whether you believe that covenants passed
Speaker:or not is irrelevant.
Speaker:And he says there are brilliant minds that
Speaker:have argued this for centuries.
Speaker:He says that doesn't lead us to hate.
Speaker:And he said, he said,
Speaker:if you believe the Jews control the world.
Speaker:Well, I mean,
Speaker:a Jew did create the entire world.
Speaker:I was like, oh, yeah.
Speaker:Yes, that was really good.
Speaker:So, and let's look at the campus shooting.
Speaker:So of course, you know, we all,
Speaker:everybody thought it was a Muslim.
Speaker:I'm like, okay, shout it out.
Speaker:But you know,
Speaker:despite the fact that we don't really know
Speaker:much about this guy.
Speaker:I think it's gonna be a lot more
Speaker:is gonna come out later on about his
Speaker:motives and things like that.
Speaker:We do have to understand that these
Speaker:campuses are basically saturated with
Speaker:messages about how evil America is and how
Speaker:faith is dangerous and that resistance is
Speaker:righteous.
Speaker:And so when violence is constantly
Speaker:justified,
Speaker:with rhetoric,
Speaker:then someone eventually decides to act
Speaker:that out physically.
Speaker:And that's what people are missing is that
Speaker:when you treat rhetoric like it has no
Speaker:consequences,
Speaker:it eventually leads to violence and has
Speaker:very dangerous consequences.
Speaker:And we can't keep allowing the
Speaker:justification of violence in words and not
Speaker:expect them to get acted out.
Speaker:So if we look at the attack on
Speaker:the National Guardsmen in Washington,
Speaker:D.C.,
Speaker:that seems to be especially revealing when
Speaker:it comes to this issue in regard to
Speaker:there was an attack on authority.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:On the uniforms of our of our military,
Speaker:on the state itself.
Speaker:As a former cop, that would be me.
Speaker:I'll tell you, with extremists,
Speaker:when extremists are targeting uniformed
Speaker:service members, that's not coincidence.
Speaker:That's ideology.
Speaker:You're no longer dealing with crime.
Speaker:You're dealing with insurgent thinking,
Speaker:and in this case, ideology matters.
Speaker:Radical Islamist beliefs don't just reject
Speaker:American policies.
Speaker:They reject American legitimacy,
Speaker:which is being questioned in every school
Speaker:through what's being taught in our
Speaker:schools.
Speaker:They're telling and teaching the children
Speaker:not to
Speaker:think of America as a legitimate country,
Speaker:essentially.
Speaker:That our constitution is racist.
Speaker:Right, that we're oppressors,
Speaker:that we're colonial imperialists,
Speaker:and we've subjugated people.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:you're just constantly breaking down,
Speaker:fracturing,
Speaker:smashing the idea of America as a
Speaker:righteous nation.
Speaker:And then pretending that this is a mental
Speaker:health issue misses the point entirely,
Speaker:because that keeps coming up.
Speaker:Oh my goodness, that's the worst.
Speaker:That is the absolute worst.
Speaker:And again, so it...
Speaker:And you got to understand from the
Speaker:government's perspective,
Speaker:there's a multiplicity of reasons why they
Speaker:do this.
Speaker:Again, they don't want to stoke fear.
Speaker:So they don't want the American people to
Speaker:be terrified that all of this is
Speaker:connected.
Speaker:It's not that it's one person connecting
Speaker:them,
Speaker:but there are ideas that are connecting
Speaker:them.
Speaker:And so...
Speaker:You heard me talk about this.
Speaker:I will continue to talk about this.
Speaker:The new violent extremist box that Kash
Speaker:Patel and others have talked about is the
Speaker:nihilistic violent extremism.
Speaker:And so this is where the conversation
Speaker:breaks down because it's not just
Speaker:anarchists smashing windows.
Speaker:It is a convergence of the violent
Speaker:anarchists and the jihadists,
Speaker:and they're moving in the same direction
Speaker:and they're coming up from different
Speaker:belief systems.
Speaker:But they share one thing in common,
Speaker:and that is hatred for the Judeo-Christian
Speaker:values and Western civilization.
Speaker:So it doesn't matter that they don't
Speaker:agree.
Speaker:they don't agree on the future right on
Speaker:the future if they agree that the current
Speaker:system must be destroyed burn yeah burn to
Speaker:the ground islamists bring long-term
Speaker:ideological discipline and religious
Speaker:motivation long term right thousands of
Speaker:years not just a couple days right
Speaker:Radical leftists bring chaos, sabotage,
Speaker:revolutionary energy,
Speaker:one that wants control.
Speaker:The other wants collapse.
Speaker:Together, they accelerate the destruction,
Speaker:which we've seen very clearly.
Speaker:So I want to go back to the
Speaker:mental health issue is that when as far
Speaker:as being in law enforcement,
Speaker:when we would say that somebody was crazy
Speaker:or their act was because they are not
Speaker:mentally healthy is not
Speaker:what we see in any of these incidents,
Speaker:because almost every one of these
Speaker:incidents,
Speaker:I'm trying to think one that may not
Speaker:have been,
Speaker:but every one of them takes planning.
Speaker:Crazy people don't plan.
Speaker:And I think we're going to find the
Speaker:same thing with the Brown killer because I
Speaker:think they're going to come up with some.
Speaker:He was disgruntled.
Speaker:He was on psych meds.
Speaker:He was, you know what I mean?
Speaker:He had two different plates for his car.
Speaker:He rented cars.
Speaker:He rented a storage unit.
Speaker:Two different locations.
Speaker:Two locations.
Speaker:On a Saturday, new to go to university,
Speaker:there'd be people in the room on a
Speaker:Saturday.
Speaker:We have video of him casing out the
Speaker:location beforehand.
Speaker:I mean, just those things alone is not...
Speaker:Somebody that was insane that lost their
Speaker:mind.
Speaker:When you lose your mind and then kill
Speaker:somebody, that's instantaneous.
Speaker:It's very fast.
Speaker:But somebody who's lost their mind isn't.
Speaker:And this guy was an intelligent person.
Speaker:He'd gone to two major universities,
Speaker:one in Portugal.
Speaker:And studying physics.
Speaker:Underwater basket weaving.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so this is that, you know,
Speaker:when it comes to this kind of chaos
Speaker:that they're creating,
Speaker:this is in the planning.
Speaker:In regard to Islam,
Speaker:it's thousands and hundreds of years of
Speaker:planning to the end.
Speaker:They're following the book, the Koran.
Speaker:in many ways.
Speaker:That's their book of how to get this
Speaker:done and why it should be done.
Speaker:And there's been dozens of Islamic
Speaker:thinkers,
Speaker:Islamist thinkers in the nineteenth and
Speaker:twentieth century and the twenty first
Speaker:century that are just bringing this in,
Speaker:bringing it from just armies into the
Speaker:civilizational jihad,
Speaker:teaching
Speaker:teaching generations of kids who don't
Speaker:even realize.
Speaker:So the Islamic centers were funded by
Speaker:Saudi, flooded with golf money,
Speaker:the Islamic centers in the United States
Speaker:and around the world, around the world.
Speaker:I saw it in every country I traveled,
Speaker:filled with Saudi textbooks,
Speaker:Saudi trained imams,
Speaker:teachers in Sunday schools,
Speaker:everywhere from a hut in Indonesia,
Speaker:all the way to the streets of Paris.
Speaker:And
Speaker:So that started in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker:So these kids that started in those
Speaker:schools are now fifty years old.
Speaker:They've had their own kids and their kids
Speaker:sometimes have had kids.
Speaker:So they don't even realize that they have
Speaker:been taught this very militant political
Speaker:version of Islam because they know no
Speaker:other Islam,
Speaker:because that's the one that they've been
Speaker:fed.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so they've raised up this kind of
Speaker:militant, extreme interpretation of Islam.
Speaker:And I know there's a lot of people
Speaker:who say that's Islam, basically.
Speaker:And it is.
Speaker:It is.
Speaker:But I'm separating Islamist thinking from
Speaker:your everyday, non-practicing, cultural,
Speaker:normative Muslim.
Speaker:person who's been muslim for generations
Speaker:he drinks he eats pork he just you
Speaker:know what i mean he just he happens
Speaker:to culturally identify as a muslim any um
Speaker:and my personally i can tell you for
Speaker:a fact i was a devout muslim but
Speaker:i was part of a reformist sect so
Speaker:we believed we could change how the quran
Speaker:was interpreted so there are
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:pockets of these kinds of communities all
Speaker:over the world.
Speaker:But what I used to keep telling the
Speaker:US government and every government I got
Speaker:my hands on was that you were radicalizing
Speaker:the middle.
Speaker:By allowing this movement to grow,
Speaker:you have changed it from a small
Speaker:percentage of Muslims to a major portion
Speaker:of Muslims.
Speaker:So when I used to in the nineteen
Speaker:nineties say this is a small segment,
Speaker:this is, you know,
Speaker:ten percent of the Muslims today,
Speaker:I would say it's sixty percent.
Speaker:Because it's just been so massive around
Speaker:the world that now it's a huge problem
Speaker:because these kids don't even realize.
Speaker:Like, if you ask the average, you know,
Speaker:Palestinian protesting kid,
Speaker:why are you following the Ikhwan,
Speaker:the Brotherhood?
Speaker:They would be like, who's the Ikhwan?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:They wouldn't even know what you're
Speaker:talking about.
Speaker:So if we look at the L.A.
Speaker:terror plot, it is the most...
Speaker:It's one of the best examples of how
Speaker:this alliance has come to grow because the
Speaker:Turtle Island Liberation Front,
Speaker:so they're not just angry activists.
Speaker:They were preparing bombs.
Speaker:And the rhetoric that they were using was
Speaker:revolutionary, anti-colonial.
Speaker:So Turtle Island is what they call the
Speaker:United States.
Speaker:And they basically say it's America's
Speaker:illegitimate because the Judeo-Christian
Speaker:tradition is a colonizer.
Speaker:Oppressor took the land and everywhere
Speaker:that there is a Judeo-Christian,
Speaker:and they call us Judeo-Christian culture,
Speaker:it must be torn down.
Speaker:So they've globalized the intifada.
Speaker:So the image we're going to show you
Speaker:is just a perfect description of how these
Speaker:two ideas have merged.
Speaker:And so this young lady here,
Speaker:probably Hawaiian, Indian,
Speaker:I'm not calling them Native American
Speaker:anymore.
Speaker:And her t-shirt says,
Speaker:from Turtle Island to Palestine.
Speaker:They have taken on the pro-Palestinian
Speaker:talking point.
Speaker:So they say from Turtle Island to Israel,
Speaker:basically saying any society that has
Speaker:those principles must be torn down as the
Speaker:oppressors.
Speaker:And they use the Islamists and the
Speaker:jihadists attend their rallies.
Speaker:They cross post.
Speaker:They support each other.
Speaker:They do protests together.
Speaker:It is the Islamists do not give a
Speaker:hoot
Speaker:if their partners are Muslims anymore.
Speaker:They do not care.
Speaker:And I tell people the evolution when we
Speaker:had Al-Qaeda,
Speaker:when we were studying Al-Qaeda is those
Speaker:guys that went over to fight for Al-Qaeda
Speaker:were trained in study circles.
Speaker:They were in these little study circles,
Speaker:these cells for months before they went
Speaker:over to fight.
Speaker:By the time we get to ISIS,
Speaker:those guys are turned into jihadi Muslims
Speaker:in six weeks.
Speaker:They were radicalized in these super fast
Speaker:ways.
Speaker:They didn't even care how nominally
Speaker:Muslims they were.
Speaker:Girls were going from Minnesota.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:they were in a bikini one day and
Speaker:a burqa the next.
Speaker:Now they're not bothering them.
Speaker:They're not bothering to change them into
Speaker:Islam.
Speaker:It's too much work.
Speaker:It's too much work.
Speaker:Why bother?
Speaker:You can get these crazy anarchists to
Speaker:fight just for the sake of fighting.
Speaker:So why bother?
Speaker:And it is so it is a cocktail
Speaker:of exponential violence.
Speaker:It really is, because it's been,
Speaker:as you've described in our educational
Speaker:system.
Speaker:So we talked about the Islamic centers and
Speaker:their indoctrination.
Speaker:Combine that with the anarchist leftist
Speaker:indoctrination of the American and Western
Speaker:youth.
Speaker:And you put these two together and they're
Speaker:just like kissing cousins.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:the most important things are that they
Speaker:dumbed down the kids.
Speaker:That has been done for over a hundred
Speaker:years.
Speaker:The process of dumbing down the kids is
Speaker:actually a really real thing.
Speaker:Then you teach them that they're either
Speaker:oppressed or oppressors.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Pull God out.
Speaker:Pull God out.
Speaker:And you take God out so that they
Speaker:don't have a higher being to look as
Speaker:the authority, which takes out morals,
Speaker:which on top of that,
Speaker:they sexualize the kids.
Speaker:It's the perfect cocktail for putting some
Speaker:children, not all of them,
Speaker:because not all of them buy into it.
Speaker:But the problem is you get a large
Speaker:number of them to buy into it.
Speaker:And then they become the future of this
Speaker:nihilistic group.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:And they're ripe for it and can be
Speaker:indoctrinated very quickly.
Speaker:It made me think of Romans one,
Speaker:when God says that he's going to give
Speaker:them over to a debased mind,
Speaker:he talks about the...
Speaker:The sexual immorality.
Speaker:So the sexual immorality and the lying
Speaker:with strange flesh,
Speaker:meaning the unnatural sleeping together of
Speaker:the genders,
Speaker:meaning the same gender sleeping together,
Speaker:then God gives them over to a debased
Speaker:mind.
Speaker:So the sexual immorality breaks down the
Speaker:mental barriers to this kind of
Speaker:violence and this kind of immorality
Speaker:because it just removes their,
Speaker:their God given innate natural boundaries
Speaker:to want to be good and want to
Speaker:pursue God.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so it makes them, uh,
Speaker:subject to all of these just crazy
Speaker:ideologies.
Speaker:And that's not feed into a,
Speaker:one of the main tenants of the Quran
Speaker:when it comes to, uh, uh,
Speaker:killing,
Speaker:I was trying to look for another word
Speaker:that wasn't so firm,
Speaker:but killing Jews that they will,
Speaker:when they do that,
Speaker:and hopefully they will die and then be
Speaker:able to have as many virgins as they
Speaker:have.
Speaker:So it feeds into that sexual desire.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:So that's why you see them quite often,
Speaker:the father and the son who were involved
Speaker:in the shooting in Australia,
Speaker:they weren't wearing bullet-resistant
Speaker:vests.
Speaker:They weren't wearing anything.
Speaker:They didn't count on living.
Speaker:Their whole goal was to kill as many
Speaker:Jews as possible,
Speaker:knowing that when they were killed in the
Speaker:act of doing that,
Speaker:that they would be in wherever they're
Speaker:going with the virgins.
Speaker:But it's basically a giant brothel.
Speaker:Can you imagine that this dad was able
Speaker:to do this to his son to get
Speaker:him to follow this?
Speaker:be that extreme to be a martyr well
Speaker:and you think that it was it wasn't
Speaker:just the father that's the sunday school
Speaker:he went to that's the mosque he went
Speaker:to that's what he was taught from when
Speaker:he was four right and that's not mental
Speaker:illness that is not that is a trained
Speaker:ideology a trained way of thinking yes and
Speaker:living their lives absolutely absolutely
Speaker:So basically what people chant today,
Speaker:what they're chanting in all the
Speaker:universities becomes what someone acts on
Speaker:tomorrow,
Speaker:as we saw in Charlie Kirk's martyrdom.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:It's the chant of him being hateful,
Speaker:of him being racist,
Speaker:of him being homophobic, all those things,
Speaker:then somebody is willing to act on it.
Speaker:And when the culture refuses to draw moral
Speaker:lines,
Speaker:violence will end up filling that gap.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:So this brings us to our leaders,
Speaker:our congressmen, our representatives,
Speaker:senators,
Speaker:and even at times our presidents.
Speaker:What is the thing that caused them to
Speaker:refuse to name this clearly and to say
Speaker:what it is?
Speaker:Truth has a cost.
Speaker:And you call out Islamism,
Speaker:they say you're Islamophobic,
Speaker:you're intolerant, you're a bigot,
Speaker:you're a fascist.
Speaker:You call out the radical left and you
Speaker:risk political backlash.
Speaker:And so silence becomes safer than honesty.
Speaker:And the reality is silence doesn't protect
Speaker:people.
Speaker:So that's why we see this total chaos.
Speaker:And I'm telling you,
Speaker:we are going to see it ramp up.
Speaker:This is just the beginning.
Speaker:This is going to continue to get worse
Speaker:because the Muslims have figured out the
Speaker:magic bullet.
Speaker:Get these crazy anarchist kids and this
Speaker:can reach exponential heights of chaos.
Speaker:Well, when I talk about leaders, too,
Speaker:you know, I also left out as pastors,
Speaker:the leaders of churches who choose to be
Speaker:silent.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:And that was one of the things they
Speaker:also,
Speaker:and now to the other thing about calling
Speaker:people racist and Islamophobe.
Speaker:We don't get them on politics.
Speaker:Well, the first thing they said,
Speaker:when somebody goes against us,
Speaker:attack them.
Speaker:When somebody says that Somalia is
Speaker:stealing the money from the government,
Speaker:from all these programs,
Speaker:you have to attack them as racists.
Speaker:And that was the way that they were
Speaker:to get the politicians.
Speaker:They're not to say anything about it.
Speaker:They were busy stealing.
Speaker:I think it's up to ten billion dollars
Speaker:now that they can.
Speaker:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker:Ten billion.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I think somebody said it's going to be
Speaker:fourteen billion by the time they're done.
Speaker:They're predicting fourteen billion.
Speaker:Let's see that they were able to get
Speaker:that done for the longest period of the
Speaker:period of time they were able to do
Speaker:it because they knew that they would call,
Speaker:you know, Tampon Tim a racist.
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:he did not want to be called a
Speaker:racist.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:It's time for God's people to go on
Speaker:the offensive, declaring God's kingdom.
Speaker:A discipling nation obey Jesus's teaching
Speaker:to follow his example.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Should have been doing that a long time
Speaker:ago.
Speaker:But yes, better late than never.
Speaker:Phobia is an irrational fear.
Speaker:So it is meaningless when talking about
Speaker:Islam.
Speaker:That is absolutely true.
Speaker:that's a that is a rational thought that
Speaker:is a quote i have uh the best
Speaker:form of defense is an offense satan is
Speaker:not standing still nor should god's people
Speaker:we must take the fight to satan amen
Speaker:so um yeah so silence doesn't protect
Speaker:people
Speaker:What do you have to say?
Speaker:It protects ideology.
Speaker:There you go.
Speaker:That's the problem.
Speaker:Compassion without truth is not love.
Speaker:Oh, I have a whole question about that.
Speaker:Jesus never avoided truth to persevere.
Speaker:I did it again.
Speaker:Preserve comfort.
Speaker:He confronted deception directly.
Speaker:So, she notes, oh, your beautiful ring.
Speaker:Oh, that's not the right one.
Speaker:I got her a new ring for her
Speaker:birthday.
Speaker:My wedding ring.
Speaker:So what does living fearless actually look
Speaker:like in a moment like this?
Speaker:So I had this realization listening to
Speaker:Raymond on trigonometry,
Speaker:and then he did this really cool podcast
Speaker:about the history of Islam.
Speaker:He keeps driving home this point.
Speaker:I do the same as a student of
Speaker:history that.
Speaker:often people throughout time,
Speaker:theologians and scholars have asked, okay,
Speaker:so Islamic armies came, conquered,
Speaker:seventy-five percent of Christendom,
Speaker:which was all of Middle East,
Speaker:North Africa, and parts of Asia,
Speaker:seventy-five percent of Christendom was
Speaker:gone in the first hundred years,
Speaker:and then most of it,
Speaker:the rest of it,
Speaker:was conquered in the next twelve hundred
Speaker:years before the victory of World War I
Speaker:and the defeat of the Ottoman Empire.
Speaker:Why?
Speaker:Why do the Christians constantly lose to
Speaker:the Muslims?
Speaker:And so there was a number of theories.
Speaker:So some of the theories were that the
Speaker:Byzantine Empire was weakened by
Speaker:constantly fighting with the Sassanid
Speaker:dynasty, the Persians.
Speaker:So both armies were weakened because the
Speaker:Persians fell to the Muslims too,
Speaker:and they hate it.
Speaker:And to this day,
Speaker:the Persians hate that they were conquered
Speaker:by the Arabs.
Speaker:But they so historians had said, well,
Speaker:they were weakened and the Muslims were
Speaker:more aggressive.
Speaker:But people really don't believe that
Speaker:that's a good enough explanation.
Speaker:And I tell you,
Speaker:I can't I can't tell you how many
Speaker:times I have come across in modern day.
Speaker:So mind you,
Speaker:they're saying this frequently.
Speaker:about a battle thirteen hundred years ago
Speaker:that I this same argument I heard in
Speaker:my career in government service was that
Speaker:those towel heads in the flip flops,
Speaker:they are not going to defeat us.
Speaker:And so there was always this arrogance
Speaker:about Christendom that these
Speaker:unsophisticated
Speaker:uh just you know what i mean the
Speaker:the towel heads the hajis we're not going
Speaker:to get defeated by the hajis and so
Speaker:that was always a weakness is they
Speaker:underestimated them we're more powerful we
Speaker:are smarter we're more sophisticated come
Speaker:on now you know and so they they
Speaker:underestimated their opponents and so they
Speaker:were defeated often in battle because of
Speaker:that
Speaker:But that doesn't explain it.
Speaker:That doesn't explain it.
Speaker:So historians looking at it say that,
Speaker:you know what, that's not good enough.
Speaker:That's not a good enough explanation.
Speaker:There was mass migration.
Speaker:And so people blame it on that,
Speaker:that there was these suddenly invading
Speaker:armies with lots of people.
Speaker:They were overwhelmed.
Speaker:Also doesn't explain it.
Speaker:The most reasonable explanation.
Speaker:explanation is the one that's least
Speaker:accepted.
Speaker:And it was it's the same thing.
Speaker:Thirteen hundred years later,
Speaker:it's religious zeal,
Speaker:the zeal of the Muslim fighter.
Speaker:And back then and throughout history,
Speaker:people do not want to acknowledge that the
Speaker:religion has and in its doctrine,
Speaker:in the holy book,
Speaker:in its discussions about war,
Speaker:it advocates for
Speaker:rape, murder, decapitation, conquering,
Speaker:torture.
Speaker:It is enslavement,
Speaker:subjugating of the children,
Speaker:get them to pay the tax or kill
Speaker:them.
Speaker:And so this, the fervor,
Speaker:the difference with the Christian
Speaker:is that in the armies of the Christians,
Speaker:you're fighting a just war.
Speaker:So your soldiers have a discipline about
Speaker:them.
Speaker:And even if they do, like,
Speaker:steal some booty or, God forbid,
Speaker:rape somebody, there's this trigger of,
Speaker:oh, that's really bad.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:there's not this wide-scale acceptance of
Speaker:rape.
Speaker:And we have the Geneva Convention.
Speaker:And we have the Geneva Convention.
Speaker:Back then, they didn't.
Speaker:I'm talking about when did we fail even
Speaker:back then.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So...
Speaker:It is this kind of moral clarity of
Speaker:Christendom that we just don't do things
Speaker:like that.
Speaker:We go so far and we stop.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:We don't cross what would be a red
Speaker:line for our morals.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:And for our doctrine and what we've been
Speaker:taught.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And what it means to be a soldier
Speaker:of Christ.
Speaker:So there are moral limits to the way
Speaker:a Christian fights.
Speaker:And sometimes we're more concerned about
Speaker:words, about what we're called.
Speaker:You know, if we do this,
Speaker:they're going to call us, you know,
Speaker:conquerors or whatever.
Speaker:Barbarians.
Speaker:Barbarians.
Speaker:And we don't want to be called that.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so it.
Speaker:There has never been an acknowledgement,
Speaker:and I'm not saying by any stretch of
Speaker:the imagination, we should become savages.
Speaker:That is not what I'm saying at all.
Speaker:But what I'm saying is,
Speaker:is that they didn't acknowledge what they
Speaker:were up against.
Speaker:And so they couldn't anticipate the
Speaker:brutality that they were gonna face.
Speaker:And not only were the Muslim armies
Speaker:sanctioned to commit this kind of
Speaker:violence,
Speaker:their reward in heaven was eternal sexual
Speaker:pleasure.
Speaker:So they're saying,
Speaker:kill as many people as you can,
Speaker:rape the women, and guess what?
Speaker:If you happen to die,
Speaker:you're gonna have sex for the rest of
Speaker:eternity with seventy-two girls that are
Speaker:constantly virgins.
Speaker:Their virginity is regenerated every
Speaker:twenty-four hours.
Speaker:I'm sorry, that's really graphic,
Speaker:but it's true.
Speaker:So there is this zeal that the Christian
Speaker:armies could not overcome.
Speaker:And oftentimes,
Speaker:that was reinforced by the church that was
Speaker:saying god is punishing us for our
Speaker:disobedience and that to a certain extent
Speaker:is true so there is this sense of
Speaker:moral failure because
Speaker:Christendom had become decadent.
Speaker:Once it became a state religion under
Speaker:Constantinople,
Speaker:it became this kind of decadent state
Speaker:religion.
Speaker:And so they were demoralized by
Speaker:themselves,
Speaker:by their own lack of discipline,
Speaker:and then demoralized by this savage army
Speaker:that had no rules.
Speaker:And so where does that bring us today?
Speaker:Again, still, we underestimate our enemy.
Speaker:And two, we still lack discipline.
Speaker:So the same thing that plagued us,
Speaker:thirteen hundred years ago,
Speaker:still plagues us today.
Speaker:So I'm not saying by any stretch,
Speaker:as I said before,
Speaker:we are not to become savages.
Speaker:We are to become disciplined.
Speaker:We are to become righteous and moral.
Speaker:And were we to uphold the standards that
Speaker:God expected of us and understand our
Speaker:enemy, then God willing,
Speaker:he would give us victory.
Speaker:But it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:I am morally failing.
Speaker:I am undisciplined and therefore I get
Speaker:conquered and therefore I remain
Speaker:undisciplined.
Speaker:It's this defeatist mentality, right?
Speaker:That we never pull ourselves out of.
Speaker:And you also,
Speaker:and I hope this is in line with
Speaker:what you're talking about,
Speaker:but you even had a discussion with Obama
Speaker:trying to explain to him that he doesn't
Speaker:understand Islam.
Speaker:and he refused oh yeah did you think
Speaker:he refused because he knows if many people
Speaker:thought he was muslim or he just simply
Speaker:well i mean he said i don't believe
Speaker:in religion he's a humanist so he's like
Speaker:i'm not going to get dragged into a
Speaker:war with a song i won't which we
Speaker:ended up being in a very long war
Speaker:yeah right well and that's the problem
Speaker:that's
Speaker:Again, those are,
Speaker:you know what I mean is that we
Speaker:don't have the stomach for victory and yet
Speaker:we have a tremendous amount of greed.
Speaker:So the military industrial complex is
Speaker:like, go, go, go,
Speaker:because people are making billions of
Speaker:dollars.
Speaker:And yet we don't have the moral fortitude
Speaker:to actually win.
Speaker:So can I take this to Gaza for
Speaker:a second on the, on this discussion?
Speaker:Because I believe Netanyahu wanted to.
Speaker:completely destroy the Palestinians.
Speaker:And we didn't let them.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:But people hate Netanyahu.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:when they bring up Israel and the Jews,
Speaker:that's the person that they look at as
Speaker:the great devil in many senses.
Speaker:But he's right in the sense that I
Speaker:don't know how many other things he's
Speaker:right in.
Speaker:I don't want to get into all of
Speaker:that discussion.
Speaker:But at least that, no,
Speaker:this needs to be eradicated.
Speaker:And stopped.
Speaker:And that's what God told the Israelites
Speaker:for centuries, you know?
Speaker:But they never listened because it
Speaker:requires a level of brutality most
Speaker:Judeo-Christians can't stomach.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And I get that too.
Speaker:And probably a lot of Jews.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:The Judeo-Christians are what we call
Speaker:Western civilization.
Speaker:They can't stomach it.
Speaker:And yet they wonder why this keeps
Speaker:happening to them.
Speaker:Then that's for five thousand years.
Speaker:They go, see, we stopped.
Speaker:We didn't kill you all.
Speaker:Be nice to us.
Speaker:Quit it.
Speaker:But ten years later,
Speaker:when they get enough kids to grow up
Speaker:to be adults, then they're back on.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:because people keep saying that October
Speaker:seventh was a retaliation to what Israel
Speaker:does to the Palestinians.
Speaker:And and no matter how many times you
Speaker:say it,
Speaker:they were a free state from two thousand
Speaker:six.
Speaker:They were not in a fight with Gaza.
Speaker:The Hamas was controlling Gaza.
Speaker:They had pulled out of Gaza.
Speaker:But what did Hamas do?
Speaker:They built underground tunnels and rockets
Speaker:to kill Israelis.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:He's like, we tried this already.
Speaker:We had a two state solution.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:But this is what they did with it.
Speaker:But people are saying, no, you know,
Speaker:you're extremely brutal.
Speaker:And all these kids were getting up to
Speaker:the mic, sixty thousand dead kids.
Speaker:And Steve is like,
Speaker:where do you get that number?
Speaker:Like you're just you're literally
Speaker:repeating a number from Hamas.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:That's been debunked, you know,
Speaker:dozens of times.
Speaker:Nobody can tell you where that number
Speaker:comes from.
Speaker:But they've killed sixty thousand women
Speaker:and children.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And they take pictures from other battles
Speaker:from other centuries, not centuries,
Speaker:but other decades.
Speaker:And yes.
Speaker:And then they take pictures of kids in
Speaker:hospitals that are actually sick with
Speaker:cancer and say it was the Jews.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And it goes on.
Speaker:The propaganda goes on.
Speaker:I think you answered my question,
Speaker:but I just want to kind of go
Speaker:through this,
Speaker:and I hope I can word this question
Speaker:correctly.
Speaker:But in regard to kind of what Tucker
Speaker:said in the sense,
Speaker:and you even said this about your family
Speaker:who's Muslim still,
Speaker:is that to battle the jihadists is a
Speaker:difficult one because there may be some
Speaker:Muslims like your sect that are not
Speaker:vicious killers.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:We're not supposed to hate people.
Speaker:We're supposed to have a mentality and a
Speaker:mindset and the political will to defeat
Speaker:Islamism.
Speaker:So for example,
Speaker:the strategies that I lay out for
Speaker:communities is twofold.
Speaker:So we say,
Speaker:love God with all your heart, soul, mind,
Speaker:and strength.
Speaker:Love your neighbor as yourself.
Speaker:So love God with all your heart, soul,
Speaker:strength means make sure your laws protect
Speaker:the Judeo-Christian way of life.
Speaker:Make sure that our politicians take an
Speaker:oath of office and allegiance to this
Speaker:country.
Speaker:Control your borders,
Speaker:prevent mass immigration,
Speaker:control the way your ordinances are
Speaker:imposed in your county so that you do
Speaker:not have an Islamic call to prayer five
Speaker:times a day,
Speaker:disrupting people at five in the morning.
Speaker:I mean, things that protect our country.
Speaker:And nowhere else in the world is this
Speaker:strange.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:you don't go to a Muslim country and
Speaker:start ringing church bells.
Speaker:There are actually not any churches in
Speaker:most of those countries.
Speaker:Playing Christmas music.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:You don't go running down the street
Speaker:singing Christmas carols.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:So it's only considered strange here
Speaker:because we've allowed it to be considered
Speaker:strange, to have boundaries.
Speaker:And the Muslims like me would that I
Speaker:like I used to be wouldn't have a
Speaker:problem with those because they don't play
Speaker:the Azzan outside at five in the morning.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:They wouldn't have a problem with having
Speaker:community property laws.
Speaker:So these anti-Sharia legislation are
Speaker:facially neutral.
Speaker:They do not ban Sharia.
Speaker:And I'm going through one in the Florida
Speaker:county legislator with someone who
Speaker:contacted me.
Speaker:I'm super excited about that because I
Speaker:think we could use it as a template
Speaker:across the nation.
Speaker:But she had mentioned Sharia law on it.
Speaker:And I went through the explanation.
Speaker:I said,
Speaker:you need to take out Sharia and you
Speaker:need to tell
Speaker:your county commissioners,
Speaker:you do not hate Muslims.
Speaker:And this isn't about people being able to
Speaker:practice their religion.
Speaker:This is about making sure there are no
Speaker:parallel systems of justice and law in
Speaker:this county and in this state that
Speaker:contravene the laws of the country.
Speaker:So women,
Speaker:Muslim women and Christian women and
Speaker:atheist women all get community property
Speaker:rights.
Speaker:they cannot be disinherited.
Speaker:They don't lose custody of their children
Speaker:because they divorced a man.
Speaker:The same protections that go,
Speaker:and you tell your commissioners,
Speaker:I wanna protect the Muslim woman that gets
Speaker:divorced,
Speaker:who signed a piece of paper when she
Speaker:got married saying she gives up rights to
Speaker:her kids,
Speaker:but didn't realize one day that this man
Speaker:was gonna beat the crap out of her
Speaker:and that she was gonna need to get
Speaker:divorced.
Speaker:So I wanna protect that lady.
Speaker:And that's really the heart of it is
Speaker:that we want to protect Americans against
Speaker:parallel systems that are abusive,
Speaker:that are that contravene what we believe
Speaker:in as a nation and as a people.
Speaker:And disturbing the peace when somebody is
Speaker:playing their rock music too loud.
Speaker:We don't want to do that.
Speaker:They can't play.
Speaker:The call to prayer.
Speaker:Call to prayer.
Speaker:I don't want to be woke up at
Speaker:twelve to rap music.
Speaker:And I do not want to be woken
Speaker:up to the call of prayer at five.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Both are unacceptable to me.
Speaker:And why do we expect,
Speaker:in terms of social order,
Speaker:do we think it's okay to ban rap
Speaker:music at eleven o'clock,
Speaker:but not a call to prayer at five?
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:how twisted have we gotten people that
Speaker:that's considered bigoted?
Speaker:And in this country,
Speaker:we used to care about animals,
Speaker:that you couldn't torture them and cut
Speaker:their heads off in your backyard.
Speaker:Can you imagine?
Speaker:And them screaming.
Speaker:But now...
Speaker:In Hamtramck, Michigan,
Speaker:you could slaughter a goat.
Speaker:You could slaughter a goat in your
Speaker:backyard.
Speaker:The screams of slaughtered animals.
Speaker:Anyone who's been around a butchery or in
Speaker:the Middle East,
Speaker:because you hear it all the time.
Speaker:It's horrific.
Speaker:But you could do that now against health
Speaker:regulations because Muslims need to
Speaker:slaughter animals.
Speaker:The problem that we have in Hamtramck.
Speaker:Hamtramck.
Speaker:Hamtramck.
Speaker:In Dearborn is that,
Speaker:I'm not sure about Dearborn, I believe so,
Speaker:that the chief of police is Muslim and
Speaker:the mayor is Muslim.
Speaker:And the entire city council is Muslim.
Speaker:The entire city council is Muslim.
Speaker:So how would this,
Speaker:what you're working as in Florida,
Speaker:you said?
Speaker:Florida.
Speaker:In Florida,
Speaker:you would never be able to do that
Speaker:in those cities.
Speaker:You need to turn over those elected
Speaker:officials.
Speaker:Mm-hmm.
Speaker:That's another one of my strategies is you
Speaker:have to put your talent and treasure
Speaker:behind candidates.
Speaker:People have to give up their talent.
Speaker:In other words, you're a smart doctor.
Speaker:I've heard of a number of pastors around
Speaker:the country that are now running for
Speaker:office, which I think is great.
Speaker:If you have the moral and intellectual
Speaker:fortitude to make it through,
Speaker:that's great.
Speaker:But we have to have people willing to
Speaker:sacrifice and be like, okay,
Speaker:I'll do this for four years,
Speaker:for eight years.
Speaker:for the good of my community and my
Speaker:country.
Speaker:And you have to be willing to support
Speaker:those campaigns.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So living in this country at this time,
Speaker:to live fearless in this country,
Speaker:it's not to ignore these dangers.
Speaker:It's what's been happening in these
Speaker:states.
Speaker:It's been ignored.
Speaker:They're capitulating.
Speaker:They're capitulating.
Speaker:But because we don't want to be ruled
Speaker:by these laws is what's happening now.
Speaker:It's already happening in some of these
Speaker:states.
Speaker:Oh, widespread.
Speaker:Widespread.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:if the Somalis just stole nineteen billion
Speaker:dollars.
Speaker:It's wild.
Speaker:It is.
Speaker:How much?
Speaker:How many billion you said?
Speaker:Well, it's a nine billion right now,
Speaker:but they think that it's going to go
Speaker:up to fourteen nine billion.
Speaker:And they're saying that if you think it's
Speaker:bad in in Minnesota,
Speaker:they say wait till you find out of
Speaker:the corruption in California.
Speaker:It's way worse.
Speaker:I can imagine.
Speaker:Some of the experts are saying.
Speaker:I can imagine.
Speaker:So, I mean,
Speaker:there's the old saying that if you repeat
Speaker:history, you know,
Speaker:Those who do not learn from history are
Speaker:doomed to repeat it.
Speaker:We actually have never gotten out of the
Speaker:cycle.
Speaker:We're literally repeating the cycle over
Speaker:and over again.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:there was a time when Europe was strong
Speaker:in the early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker:And then after that, it's like, you know,
Speaker:from the sixties onward with the
Speaker:introduction of communism and now
Speaker:Islamism,
Speaker:which is right back where we started.
Speaker:So we really have to as parents and
Speaker:even grandparents,
Speaker:we have to begin grounding our children in
Speaker:faith.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:that's starts at home because they're
Speaker:going into these schools.
Speaker:And I understand.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:I'm in that kind of situation where my
Speaker:kids are still going to public school and
Speaker:taking them and doing homeschooling is
Speaker:just not an option because we,
Speaker:we have to get to custody of the
Speaker:kids.
Speaker:So it's not something that's available.
Speaker:So you have to ground them in scripture
Speaker:before you send them to school and then
Speaker:constantly talk to them about things that
Speaker:are going on.
Speaker:Uh,
Speaker:and then making sure you're standing firm
Speaker:in,
Speaker:in your
Speaker:in your christianity even though it's
Speaker:unpopular it seems to be unpopular in our
Speaker:world it's it's popular well even now at
Speaker:east anaheim we're really excited uh
Speaker:pastor josh our high school uh youth
Speaker:pastor high school and junior high we're
Speaker:starting he's starting stuff sunday school
Speaker:we don't have sunday school anymore he's
Speaker:like he's starting a program called sunday
Speaker:school and i'm going to be going back
Speaker:to the basics yeah i'm going to be
Speaker:the first one and i'm going to teach
Speaker:on islam
Speaker:because we we cannot assume that our
Speaker:christian kids even understand what islam
Speaker:is for the most part they don't and
Speaker:i said you're you're basically you're
Speaker:basically sending your kid to school naked
Speaker:if they don't understand islam and they
Speaker:don't understand the threat it poses to
Speaker:their to their beliefs then you might as
Speaker:well send them out with no shoes on
Speaker:right and have them walk over glass
Speaker:So I'm going to read some scripture right
Speaker:now,
Speaker:but why don't we get to the comments
Speaker:really quick and catch up?
Speaker:We've got a lot of comments.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I'll just concentrate on a few.
Speaker:Islam is antithetical to Judeo-Christian.
Speaker:It equals treason.
Speaker:Cast out Satan.
Speaker:Look at Europe and the UK.
Speaker:Get rid of it and then we don't
Speaker:have to.
Speaker:Well, so.
Speaker:I was going to say you say look
Speaker:at Europe,
Speaker:but you could also look at Hungary and
Speaker:Poland, Hungary in particular,
Speaker:who shut down their borders.
Speaker:They've stopped immigration and their
Speaker:crime has gone down exponentially.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And they're celebrating Christmas.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:And yeah,
Speaker:they didn't close their Christmas markets
Speaker:like Paris and Germany and I think it
Speaker:was London or one other city,
Speaker:the Netherlands.
Speaker:And I forgot also,
Speaker:my overwhelming point always is we hate
Speaker:the sin, not the sinner.
Speaker:And as we create strategies to control how
Speaker:Islam controls us,
Speaker:we have to witness boldly to Muslims.
Speaker:We have to remember
Speaker:I had no context for Christianity.
Speaker:I was saved from the pit of hell
Speaker:by a radical encounter with the Lord.
Speaker:There are millions of Muslims coming to
Speaker:Christ through dreams and visions.
Speaker:I'd like to see that quadruple because
Speaker:people are witnessing the Muslims.
Speaker:Why are we making Jesus do all the
Speaker:work?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Like he's literally supernaturally meeting
Speaker:them because nobody else is doing it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:So let's get on it and do community
Speaker:events, neighborhood outreach,
Speaker:whatever it takes to just invite your
Speaker:neighbors to hear the gospel.
Speaker:Because what I'm talking about in terms of
Speaker:political solutions is not political
Speaker:solutions will not change a heart.
Speaker:The only solution ultimately for anybody's
Speaker:life is Jesus.
Speaker:That's it.
Speaker:Full stop.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:All right,
Speaker:so this isn't a political battle.
Speaker:It's a spiritual one.
Speaker:It is a political and a spiritual battle.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:So let's look at Ephesians... Ephesians...
Speaker:Ephesians... Ephesians... Ephesians...
Speaker:Ephesians...
Speaker:For I am not ashamed of the gospel.
Speaker:I am not ashamed of the gospel.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Because it is the power of God that
Speaker:brings salvation to everyone who believes.
Speaker:First to the Jew and then to the
Speaker:Gentile.
Speaker:And I want to emphasize what he means
Speaker:by that.
Speaker:Because I'm not ashamed of the gospel.
Speaker:So when we talk about witnessing to
Speaker:Muslims,
Speaker:we are not ashamed to share the gospel.
Speaker:Why?
Speaker:Because it is the power of God to
Speaker:save them.
Speaker:Love God with all your heart, soul,
Speaker:and strength.
Speaker:Love your neighbor as yourself.
Speaker:If you truly love your Muslim neighbor,
Speaker:you want them to experience the power of
Speaker:salvation.
Speaker:So we're not ashamed of it because we
Speaker:know it will save them.
Speaker:It's out of our love for them that
Speaker:we want to share it.
Speaker:So it's not just because we need it
Speaker:to not control this country,
Speaker:which is a great, you know, win-win,
Speaker:but we also want to save souls for
Speaker:Christ.
Speaker:Ultimately,
Speaker:that is our objective as Christians is to
Speaker:bring souls to Christ.
Speaker:And so if you forget that second
Speaker:component, you just become angry.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You just said that.
Speaker:So last night we were driving back from
Speaker:dinner.
Speaker:And came up to a red light.
Speaker:Now,
Speaker:Eddie has been on this podcast with Pastor
Speaker:Jack Hibbs, which has well over,
Speaker:I think it's approaching a million views.
Speaker:And you've been on all kinds of networks
Speaker:and podcasts,
Speaker:shows where they've been interviewing you
Speaker:about the very subject.
Speaker:And you've been talking very freely.
Speaker:I'm going to be touring the country.
Speaker:You're going to be touring the country,
Speaker:speaking at churches.
Speaker:Putting myself out there without a Kepler
Speaker:vest.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:And we looked at them today.
Speaker:And our website was attacked.
Speaker:I say viciously,
Speaker:but I'm not like it was scary.
Speaker:It was just that it was so well
Speaker:done that we couldn't get it back up
Speaker:for weeks.
Speaker:And then some of our videos are being
Speaker:trying to take down and a number of
Speaker:other things.
Speaker:And so coming back to this red light
Speaker:in Anaheim,
Speaker:as I'm pulling up to this red light,
Speaker:I come to a stop and there's construction.
Speaker:So that's the context.
Speaker:So the, the,
Speaker:the lane that I was in was meant
Speaker:to go straight and the lane to my
Speaker:right,
Speaker:which would normally go straight was not
Speaker:being allowed to go straight.
Speaker:It had to turn right.
Speaker:And so I met that light and I
Speaker:have pretty good peripheral vision.
Speaker:I think it comes from a lot of
Speaker:training in law enforcement.
Speaker:And I saw movement to my right and
Speaker:I turned to my right and this person
Speaker:had rolled down their window and their
Speaker:hand was coming out.
Speaker:And I look and see it's a woman.
Speaker:Well, to me,
Speaker:I can't identify it as a woman right
Speaker:away, but it's completely barked up,
Speaker:burka up where the eyes are just showing
Speaker:and everything's black.
Speaker:And I tensed, I didn't get fearful.
Speaker:I tensed like, what do I gas it?
Speaker:I don't always have my gun with me.
Speaker:I think this is going to change.
Speaker:Maybe it was good that it wasn't with
Speaker:me last night.
Speaker:Oh, you just wanted directions.
Speaker:He's next to me and I am like
Speaker:on my phone or something.
Speaker:Yeah, not paying attention.
Speaker:I'm not paying attention.
Speaker:She saw none of this.
Speaker:I saw none of it.
Speaker:And he's just like,
Speaker:look at that person next to us.
Speaker:And I was like.
Speaker:She didn't respond.
Speaker:And then the lady,
Speaker:because she educated me that that's a
Speaker:woman that wears that.
Speaker:And I knew that.
Speaker:But at the moment.
Speaker:It's an Antifa person.
Speaker:I didn't know if it was Antifa.
Speaker:I didn't know what it was.
Speaker:But all they wanted to do is like,
Speaker:can I go straight?
Speaker:Like she's,
Speaker:she had her hand out the window and
Speaker:I didn't know if it had a sword
Speaker:in it or a gun or a trigger.
Speaker:And so I, I just,
Speaker:it took me a second to evaluate the
Speaker:situation.
Speaker:And I took my foot, you know,
Speaker:I was,
Speaker:I was putting it on the gas to
Speaker:gas it.
Speaker:Cause that was my only option.
Speaker:Um, and she goes,
Speaker:can I get a head of you?
Speaker:i couldn't see her mouth she's like her
Speaker:head's shaking i just see her eyes and
Speaker:i and i go yes you can go
Speaker:forward can you imagine she's probably
Speaker:talking underneath that but we could yeah
Speaker:and but that's where we're at that's where
Speaker:we're at and so and then you know
Speaker:we hear i don't know if you watch
Speaker:any of the emphasis or not but there's
Speaker:a lot of talk about love and that's
Speaker:a tricky word it really is in the
Speaker:bible it's a tricky word used by jesus
Speaker:and
Speaker:I want to feel love,
Speaker:but I also want to be on guard.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I want to be able to take
Speaker:action.
Speaker:My love for you trumps my love for
Speaker:my neighbor.
Speaker:Who's wearing a burqa?
Speaker:Yeah, a burqa.
Speaker:Not a barqa?
Speaker:Not a burqa.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:He was talking to the kids today about
Speaker:screaming Allah Akbar, and he said,
Speaker:Ali Akbar.
Speaker:Sounds like Ali Ali Oxford free.
Speaker:But this is that weird situation.
Speaker:It is.
Speaker:I believe in God.
Speaker:I love Jesus Christ.
Speaker:I love our faith.
Speaker:I love every miracle that comes our way
Speaker:that I see.
Speaker:I love how he talks to me.
Speaker:But I want to stick to loving Jesus,
Speaker:loving you, loving my children,
Speaker:loving my country.
Speaker:I have a little tough part with loving
Speaker:my enemies.
Speaker:And I know he tells us to love
Speaker:our enemies.
Speaker:And love your neighbor.
Speaker:I'm not your neighbor.
Speaker:I don't even know the neighbors.
Speaker:No, I know two of them.
Speaker:I love them.
Speaker:But it is really tough.
Speaker:And I hear the speakers as they go
Speaker:through, many of them talking about love.
Speaker:But some of them, you know.
Speaker:And we don't want love to paralyze us.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You don't hide truth out of love.
Speaker:And that's what, again, this kind of,
Speaker:weird dynamic in our feminized
Speaker:christianity where we've so emphasized
Speaker:love we forgot the two swords of christ
Speaker:so we've so we forgot that he built
Speaker:a whip and went and literally whipped
Speaker:people in the temple and not even on
Speaker:the street in the temple he whipped him
Speaker:yeah you know jesus one of the pastors
Speaker:i used to listen to did a whole
Speaker:series called savage jesus where it was
Speaker:just like you need to understand he's lord
Speaker:of lord he comes back in a robe
Speaker:dipped in blood
Speaker:Like he's not playing around.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:so it's that balance between the
Speaker:discipline of a soldier of Christ and the
Speaker:heart of a lover and a lover of
Speaker:souls and a lover of humanity.
Speaker:And it's not an easy balance.
Speaker:I mean, I'll tell you,
Speaker:when I first came to faith,
Speaker:I was a warrior.
Speaker:I've always been.
Speaker:And I was a mean one.
Speaker:And the Lord was the Lord.
Speaker:And I and I tell people part of
Speaker:my testimony is that I saw he he
Speaker:gave me this vision of the man,
Speaker:the bionic man with the bones being
Speaker:replaced by metal.
Speaker:And he's like,
Speaker:that's what I'm going to do.
Speaker:I'm going to change you from the inside
Speaker:out.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:taking all of that wickedness out and
Speaker:replacing it with my love and with my
Speaker:compassion and with my fruit of the
Speaker:spirit.
Speaker:And that's just been an evolution.
Speaker:It's a constant,
Speaker:constant process going through that with
Speaker:God.
Speaker:And it's, it's the,
Speaker:it's the paradoxal balance of a,
Speaker:of a Christ.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:we're never supposed to be savages like
Speaker:these early Islamic armies or even the
Speaker:armies now.
Speaker:We are soldiers of Christ that have a
Speaker:very, very different discipline.
Speaker:And Raymond actually does a brilliant job
Speaker:explaining that,
Speaker:like the Knights of the Templar in the
Speaker:hospitals, that they were very devout.
Speaker:They were like monks, you know,
Speaker:but they were wicked soldiers.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Like they were just they were very good
Speaker:at battle.
Speaker:And that it was it was often attributed
Speaker:to that piety.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Because they had this heart for saving
Speaker:their the pilgrims.
Speaker:And so I think it's just I mean,
Speaker:will we get there?
Speaker:I don't know, but we could try.
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:I don't have much hate in my heart.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:That's that's good.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And I want to answer one thing.
Speaker:The opposite of love is hate.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So I the one time where I had
Speaker:to pull the trigger to shoot somebody as
Speaker:a police officer.
Speaker:I had no hate for that person.
Speaker:What they were doing was endangering other
Speaker:people,
Speaker:the hostages that he was about to take.
Speaker:And so I had no choice,
Speaker:but that was my option to stop him
Speaker:because he had a gun.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So I had no hate.
Speaker:I think if I would have killed him,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:if I would have been a Christian,
Speaker:I would have prayed over his body and
Speaker:prayed for his soul.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Great analogy.
Speaker:So I hope that that's, that's,
Speaker:Something.
Speaker:And that's another example is that God
Speaker:didn't tell the centurion when he came to
Speaker:him in faith.
Speaker:Now you must leave the army.
Speaker:We shall not murder.
Speaker:It's not she shall not kill.
Speaker:So there is a just war doctrine.
Speaker:There are just battles.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:the Old Testament is just one battle after
Speaker:another.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Yeah, it's brutal.
Speaker:So it's not that God doesn't believe that
Speaker:some people must die.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Well, he sends them to battle.
Speaker:He sends them to go and kill.
Speaker:Conquer.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So Fourth Adam says something here that I
Speaker:just want to tell you is just not
Speaker:true.
Speaker:Muslims have been living in the West for
Speaker:decades, if not centuries,
Speaker:and they know about Jesus and they choose
Speaker:to ignore him.
Speaker:Absolutely not true.
Speaker:I did not know about Jesus.
Speaker:I knew of Jesus in the Islam,
Speaker:Jesus of Islam.
Speaker:I did not know that Jesus saves.
Speaker:I literally was surrounded by interfaith
Speaker:activities, dozens of bishops, fathers,
Speaker:pastors, preachers,
Speaker:and none of them share the gospel with
Speaker:me.
Speaker:When I watched a YouTube video of a
Speaker:Christian pastor for the first time in my
Speaker:life at forty eight years old,
Speaker:I was stunned.
Speaker:I literally thought that it was it was
Speaker:like a magical unicorn was right in my
Speaker:living room.
Speaker:It was really that bizarre to me.
Speaker:Like somebody had just said,
Speaker:here's this magic bottle with a potion in
Speaker:it and it's going to change your life.
Speaker:It was so radically new to me that
Speaker:I just can't believe it.
Speaker:And I promise you that unless there has
Speaker:been a Bible-believing Christian in the
Speaker:life of a Muslim,
Speaker:and I bet you that's not as common
Speaker:as you think,
Speaker:they do not know the gospel.
Speaker:They do not know the good news of
Speaker:Jesus,
Speaker:especially nowadays because most of them
Speaker:are insular.
Speaker:And correct me if I'm wrong,
Speaker:in the Quran, they do mention Jesus,
Speaker:but he's a prophet.
Speaker:And he's just another character.
Speaker:Great prophet.
Speaker:And then on top of that,
Speaker:many Muslims don't read the Quran.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:To make it even worse.
Speaker:So there's a good chance that they don't
Speaker:even know of the name Jesus unless they...
Speaker:And oftentimes,
Speaker:there are ignorant Christians who go up to
Speaker:a Muslim and say, hey,
Speaker:do you know Jesus?
Speaker:Of course I know Jesus.
Speaker:I love Jesus.
Speaker:And they're like, oh, good.
Speaker:And they're done.
Speaker:They're done.
Speaker:Do you know that he's Lord and Savior?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Like, what is your Jesus?
Speaker:And I'm like, I always tell Christians,
Speaker:I was like,
Speaker:the next question after that is,
Speaker:tell me about your Jesus.
Speaker:Let them explain to you what their Jesus
Speaker:is.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:So that you have a chance to be
Speaker:like, oh, that's really interesting.
Speaker:But you know what?
Speaker:My Jesus saves.
Speaker:My Jesus is God incarnate.
Speaker:My Jesus was perfect.
Speaker:He walked the earth.
Speaker:He saves.
Speaker:He died.
Speaker:Rose again.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:That gives you the opening.
Speaker:But if you stop at the person says
Speaker:they love Jesus and you're like, ah, cool.
Speaker:Check the box.
Speaker:Move on.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Because Christians don't know that there
Speaker:is a Jesus in Islam.
Speaker:So he's talking about the imams knowing.
Speaker:And that's kind of like the Sadducees.
Speaker:There was many times that they read these
Speaker:scriptures but didn't tell the Jewish
Speaker:people all of what they knew about them.
Speaker:because the many of them couldn't read or
Speaker:they didn't want them to learn how to
Speaker:read and so they would only give them
Speaker:what it is they thought they should know
Speaker:not everything that's in the scriptures
Speaker:right so the imams are very similar
Speaker:because they know who jesus is is of
Speaker:course i mean that's their job is to
Speaker:read the quran and know the quran and
Speaker:all that kind of stuff but they don't
Speaker:necessarily like you're saying many
Speaker:followers of that are muslims don't read
Speaker:the quran
Speaker:They just expect whoever's teaching them
Speaker:just to give them what information.
Speaker:Oh, yeah.
Speaker:And you cannot use social media posts to
Speaker:think that that's what the average Muslim
Speaker:does.
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:so you talk about Speaker's Corner in the
Speaker:UK and the imams that are battling
Speaker:Christians.
Speaker:That's a different breed.
Speaker:That's a completely different breed than
Speaker:the one point eight billion Muslims.
Speaker:You know, so let's say.
Speaker:That's maybe those that are in the
Speaker:apologetic space that are fighting with a
Speaker:Christian apologist,
Speaker:thousand of them ten thousand of them so
Speaker:you know what I mean one percent way
Speaker:less than one percent point zero zero one
Speaker:percent you know what I mean but the
Speaker:average Muslim and I was a devout Muslim
Speaker:you wrote books I wrote books on Islam
Speaker:I did not know Jesus saves so I
Speaker:did not I what context do I have
Speaker:if a Christian doesn't tell me Jesus of
Speaker:the Bible how am I going to learn
Speaker:it
Speaker:know i didn't study world religions i
Speaker:studied history of the ottoman empire
Speaker:right you know what i mean so and
Speaker:unless you have a bible believing
Speaker:christian as a friend you're not going to
Speaker:hear it and if that bible believing friend
Speaker:has the guts to tell you about jesus
Speaker:of the bible because he automatically
Speaker:assumes that your jesus is the same jesus
Speaker:i mean there's just tons of confusion out
Speaker:there so i want to encourage you all
Speaker:to you know
Speaker:have the courage,
Speaker:the love in your heart to share the
Speaker:gospel and just have a conversation about
Speaker:Jesus.
Speaker:Amen.
Speaker:Just, yeah, give it a shot.
Speaker:And if you get shot down,
Speaker:what'd you lose?
Speaker:You shall bold this for Christ.
Speaker:You come home and, and Jesus is clapping.
Speaker:Well done.
Speaker:Well done.
Speaker:Or if they hit you with something that
Speaker:you don't know,
Speaker:you'll be better the next time because
Speaker:hopefully you'll go home and figure out
Speaker:the answer to the question that you
Speaker:couldn't answer.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Or whatever you got tripped up on.
Speaker:And that's how you learn.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:the one thing that I always tell everybody
Speaker:all the time, I,
Speaker:I had been a dog handler and trained
Speaker:dogs and did a bunch of stuff,
Speaker:but it wasn't until I began to teach
Speaker:train other handlers about dog training
Speaker:that I really began to learn right so
Speaker:you have to get out there and start
Speaker:using the knowledge getting asked
Speaker:questions that you can't answer spending
Speaker:time with other people as they're doing
Speaker:what it is that you eventually want to
Speaker:do and you begin to learn that you
Speaker:have to get out there and do it
Speaker:just sitting back and hoping somebody else
Speaker:is gonna do it you're never gonna it'll
Speaker:never happen
Speaker:Well, we're way over time.
Speaker:How'd you go past an hour?
Speaker:Thank you all.
Speaker:Thank you all for your comments.
Speaker:I did not see any prayer requests.
Speaker:Did you?
Speaker:Nope.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:We're just going to general prayer for all
Speaker:good things.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:And again, those of you on Instagram,
Speaker:we know that it only shows a portion
Speaker:of our ear,
Speaker:but that's just the way this platform is
Speaker:acting right now.
Speaker:There's no way of fixing it,
Speaker:at least not now.
Speaker:And I'm sorry.
Speaker:Hopefully we'll get that fixed.
Speaker:Oh, thank you, Heavenly Father,
Speaker:Spirit of the Living God.
Speaker:We're so grateful for all that you have
Speaker:done on the earth and just giving us
Speaker:the ability to receive the free gift of
Speaker:salvation from your only begotten Son,
Speaker:from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker:We are so grateful for the gift that
Speaker:we didn't earn or deserve, Lord.
Speaker:And as we spend this time celebrating his
Speaker:birth, Lord,
Speaker:we ask that you set a supernatural...
Speaker:Just power over our homes and our
Speaker:communities and our country, Lord.
Speaker:Forgive us our sins.
Speaker:We repent from the sins we committed
Speaker:knowingly and unknowingly,
Speaker:that we committed against ourselves and
Speaker:against others,

Speaker:and victory over those that wish to do
Speaker:us harm, Lord,
Speaker:and that we have the heart of Christ
Speaker:and we love our neighbors as ourselves and

Speaker:gospel with them, Lord,
Speaker:and that they
Speaker:shall turn in a radical encounter with the
Speaker:Lord and come to saving faith in Christ.

Speaker:those of us that are suffering from
Speaker:ailments.
Speaker:We ask for the prodigals to come back
Speaker:home, Lord, for the sheep know your voice,
Speaker:Lord.

Speaker:back.
Speaker:Call them back to your presence and to
Speaker:your Holy Spirit that will guide them and
Speaker:lead them back.
Speaker:into the fold, Lord.
