(00:00):
Oh and the church, the church is coming along faaaaaaantastic!
(00:21):
Man everything is looking really beautiful around here, we've got crews working around
the clock!
Ok, maybe not around the clock, but a good solid 7-8 hours a day doing all kinds of work
around here, and it's coming out beautiful actually!
This is your host, Robert A. Enos, and this is your favorite podcast, Table Flippers,
(00:42):
a ministry of Greater Works Christian Church, and the church that I was just speaking of
is Greater Works Christian Church right here in Lancaster, California, 1754 L12 on the
west side, right off of 20th Street West.
Those of you who know the AV could probably picture this place in your mind, or at least
(01:04):
really close to it.
And yes, when we moved into this place a little, not quite a year yet, almost a year, and it
needed some work, we were able to sell our old building, and now we are able to get this
place fixed up and renovated a little bit.
When I say renovated, the main sanctuary was already beautiful, we just had the carpets
(01:25):
clean though, and we're getting ready to put together a live worship team, so that's coming
along beautifully, the floors look clean, it smells clean in there, and the other buildings,
what we are using as a fellowship hall is the original sanctuary building, we use it
(01:46):
as a fellowship hall, we did all the lighting in there, the electrical, when I say we did
it, I didn't do it, we hired somebody to come in and do it, somebody who knows what they're
doing, so new lights, new ceiling fans, all the electrical squared away and taken care
of, we're having the outside completely redone, all the walkways, the awnings, the shade structures,
(02:14):
and all of that is getting buttoned up and beautified, and they are scraping and power
washing, getting ready to paint, and so these guys are doing a phenomenal job, and it's
going to make our church grounds look very, very, very, very beautiful.
So ladies and gentlemen, please come on out and join us sometime, we're doing great over
(02:37):
here, and it's really interesting, I haven't really talked about this too much openly,
at least directly, for a lot of reasons, but just shortly, well, a few months ago, we had
an issue at the church, and a whole group of people left.
Now again, I'm not going to get into all the detail on it, all I can, what I am going to
(03:00):
say though is, ladies and gentlemen, one of the worst things in the world that you can
do is cause or be part of a church split, and yes, we had a church split, now before
anybody freaks out and tries to figure out what was going on, let me explain something
to you.
There was a couple in the church that got upset due to some issues, and instead of just
(03:26):
dipping out and saying their goodbyes and just dipping out, they went and got a whole
mess of people riled up, and those people left with them.
Most of those people didn't even have the courage to come and sit down and talk to me
and my wife, which was very disheartening, because these are people that we did life
with.
(03:46):
And then some of them that did come and talk to us already had it in their mind about what
they were or were not going to do.
We had people come in, oh, the Lord told me to stay, two days later, oh, the Lord told
me to leave.
So whatever God that they were serving is double-minded and schizophrenic, so, you know,
whatever.
(04:07):
But here's what happened, ladies and gentlemen.
Here's what happened.
My immediate knee-jerk thought and idea was, oh my gosh, we just moved into this building
we're just getting settled.
What are we going to do?
Here's what happened since then.
Okay, here's what happened since then.
This is so beautiful and this is only God.
Okay, every one of those people have been replaced with new people that have come.
(04:30):
As a matter of fact, some of the people that have left way before all of this mess, when
they heard what went down and who left the church, they came back and says, we're back.
Part of the reason that we left in the first place was because of those people.
And now that we found out that they're gone, we're back because we actually love the church.
We just didn't like being around them.
I mean, that's what I was told.
(04:52):
As funny and strange as that is, it's like, ah, really?
We had some people that were away from the church for a while due to their job, but just
recently came back and says, you know what?
This place has completely changed.
The entire atmosphere has changed.
It's free.
It's free here now.
It feels good.
(05:13):
And so a lot of people in the beginning were really struggling with this as I was like,
what's going on?
What do we do?
How are we going to move forward?
This is really going to set some bad things in play in the church.
And you know what?
Our God is so good that it did the exact opposite.
As a matter of fact, I started getting all kinds of texts and things from different people
(05:36):
that didn't even go to the church that would send me things, send me things that they were
going through or praying for, where God showed them that didn't even go to the church, didn't
even know what was going on.
Let me see if I can read one to you, ladies and gentlemen.
Ah, here's one.
I'm not going to tell you the people who sent this to me only because I didn't get their
permission, but this is just what I dealt with again, with somebody that doesn't even
(05:59):
go to the church.
Okay.
They sent me this text and this goes back a couple months, but nonetheless, it says,
as much as I want to share with you about our faith journey, I also want to share some
prophetic insight I have for the warfare against your church.
The Lord is restructuring your ministry and establishing a higher dimension of apostolic
(06:22):
government.
A Leviathan has come into your waters of transition.
I also have heard accusations against you in the spirit realm by members of your own
congregation.
This is somebody that didn't go to the church, didn't even know what was going on and writes
this.
I also heard accusations against you in the spirit realm by members of your own congregation.
We have much to talk about.
(06:44):
God bless you, my brother.
Strife, splitting the church, bewilderment, confusion, scattering the sheep into the wilderness.
That's the record.
That's what the person wrote.
Um, a little while later, this is a...
Oh, actually, it was the same day.
Yeah, the same day.
He writes this.
This is what he's saying prophetically.
(07:05):
Who is this?
Who thinks that they can take your pastorate and your church from you?
Who is this?
Who is this before Zerubbabel?
For as a high mountain, you shall become a plain.
That's Zachariah 4, 6 through 9.
Who is this?
Who darkens counsel and speaks without knowledge?
Church given as a reward and a vindication.
Talking about this church building.
(07:27):
Job 38, 2.
Will not be able to steal your candlestick.
Okay, remind me about the witching.
The witching hour.
That's what he writes.
So it's interesting that I get this, like I said, from somebody who doesn't even go
to the church and knows very little about our church, our church function, everything.
This is somebody that I knew many, many, many, many, many years ago and I had not seen in
(07:52):
many years.
And then he gets this in the spirit when he's praying.
And here's another one from another gentleman out of state that's only been to this church
one time and he lives out of state.
And he is in the ministry, but he lives out of state.
He's only been to our church one time as a guest.
And he writes this.
He says, Robin Linda, during my prayer time for you guys, the Lord spoke something very
(08:15):
specific to me.
He said that there was a demonic undertow that was working in the church that you all
were unaware of.
Then he said to me that his purpose in allowing this issue to surface was meant to protect
you from further destruction.
That the loss would be reversed to victory because he is bringing remnant loyal warriors
(08:36):
into your fold.
Be encouraged, love and blessings.
So my point on even sharing this with you is not to rat anybody out necessarily.
Okay, but at this point it's just like, you know what?
So much has happened and so much is going on.
And I tried to keep everything quiet.
My wife and I purposely did not say much at all.
We haven't shared much at all, even from our own pulpit.
(08:59):
And it left a lot of people wondering, but we just knew it wasn't, we weren't going
to do that.
The only reason I'm bringing it to you now is not to even tell you about my woes, ladies
and gentlemen.
Oh my gosh, look what we went through.
I don't want anybody feeling sorry for me because there's no need to feel sorry for
me because let me tell you what's been happening.
(09:20):
We're in our new building and our new building is getting beautified.
Even right now we've got new lights, ceiling fans, paint is about to be thrown on there.
They're doing some stucco work.
They worked on all of the awnings and the, what do they call it?
The shade coverings and we just had the carpets cleaned in the main sanctuary and we're getting,
(09:41):
we're working on live worship again and getting a whole worship team together.
We are already in discussions with people about going to the nations again, Mexico,
South Africa, possibly Brazil and all of these different places that the doors are opening
for us.
Once again, I put a stop to a lot of that because I was engaged in other things, but
(10:05):
now we're getting settled in our new building.
We're getting settled back in the nations.
We have the means to make this place really beautiful and gorgeous and we're going to
do it.
And it's drawing the attention of people all over this valley, all over this region, but
(10:25):
also out of state.
People out of state are taking notice of what's going on here.
And ladies and gentlemen, as good as that is, people outside of the nation is beginning
to see what God is doing here in Greater West Christian Church right here in Lancaster.
So God is positioning us and preparing us for something even better than what we're
(10:47):
experiencing right now.
And what we're experiencing right now is fantastic.
And all of that using that text that I got from a friend, that demonic undertow that
was in the house, that was in many ways going undetected.
Well now it's fully detected, fully on display, not in the house, but because it's out of
(11:10):
the house.
And we got people that have not been around at all for any of the mess coming back and
going, wow, it's so free here now.
This is so awesome.
Many people that don't even know anything about anything.
Wow, something shifted around here.
Something changed in you guys.
And it's really a great thing, ladies and gentlemen.
(11:30):
So I don't want to sound in any way like I'm trying to expose anybody because the reality
of it is here's what's happened, ladies and gentlemen, since all that went down, the group
that left have been extremely vocal and they exposed themselves.
Extremely petty and childish on social media and even with people in the community.
(11:52):
I'll go someplace and the business owner will say, hey, so-and-so came and talked to me.
And they said this, this, this, and this.
I'm like, wait, wait, wait.
You don't even go to my church.
You have nothing to do with my church.
You have nothing to do with anything that happened.
Why are they telling you?
And this has not happened just once.
This happened several times.
So it's been a strange thing in a lot of ways, but it's been a very, very, very, very good
(12:18):
thing in other ways because here's what it's done.
Every time somebody goes out and slanders myself or my wife or my church, what it does
is it solidifies our position in the region.
What do I mean by that?
Is because people that know me, some of the people don't even like me, but they know that
(12:39):
I'm a solid guy, that I'm truthful, that I'm honest, I have integrity.
So when they come and say something foolish like, oh yeah, they over there at GWCC, A-Rob
and P-Lin are so controlling, these business owners look at them and go, no, we know them
and they're not controlling.
Well, there are this, that, and the other thing.
And then, no, they're not.
(13:00):
And what it's doing is not only exposing them for the nonsense, but it's solidifying us.
And it's actually in a weird way.
I know this is strange, ladies and gentlemen.
It makes us look very, very good.
Now, again, I'm only bringing this out because of this.
Number one, I want to share with you what's going on at the church.
We're in a very good place, but I want to share this also.
(13:21):
If you stay true to Christ and you follow Him and you are obedient to Him, even when
people come against you, you don't have to fight, you don't have to retaliate, you don't
have to do anything.
Stand your ground in the sense of just stand in your integrity.
I'll put it that way.
Stand in your integrity and you watch God flip the script, turn it all around and use
(13:42):
what the devil meant for your destruction.
He's going to use to make you shine.
And that's what's been happening.
That is what's been happening here.
And it's so profound and it's so awesome.
My relationships with the pastors that I've worked with that have caught wind of this
are stronger now.
My relationship with the people here at the church is stronger now.
(14:06):
My relationship with the people in the community are stronger now.
And you know what?
We're just standing and we're moving forward.
And this is so profound.
And I just read those really three texts from two different people.
One of them gave me two texts, you know, messages.
But that was just the small tip of the iceberg.
I have people that I don't even, you know, like I said, I know them, but they're not
(14:30):
really part of the church.
Call or text or write or something.
Hey, I had a dream about you or I had a dream about this person or I had a dream about your
church and it's all pointing to us moving up the mountain, so to speak.
And I am just so blown away and bewildered because like I said at the beginning, I was
very frustrated.
(14:51):
I was angry.
I was confused.
I was, you know, all of this, all of these emotions going through my head, but it was
just like, no, chill, chill.
God's got you covered.
And you know what?
God, God is covered.
And I have to say this about my wife.
My wife has been a rock.
I'm not saying she hasn't gone through the emotion, but she is a rock, immovable, because
(15:13):
she knows me.
Somebody comes against me or especially her.
I want to come out fighting.
I want to come out and I want the world to know, hey, I'm not going to put up with
this.
But because of her and I respected and I honored her, she said she felt like God told her,
chill out.
He'll vindicate us.
And you know what?
God has more than vindicated us over and over and over and over again.
(15:39):
You know, it's really weird.
It's almost as if now I'm not saying I'm doing this and I'm not suggesting you should do
this, but it's almost as if I want them to continue to talk bad about us and lie and
slander because every time they do, it makes us look better.
It's the weirdest thing, ladies and gentlemen, it is the weirdest thing.
(16:02):
So again, I'm saying this more for you than than I am for me.
Please just stand strong.
Know this that if people lie about you, slander you, belittle you, just stand in your integrity.
Do not get away from your integrity.
Stand in Christ or be obedient to him and stand in your integrity.
Even when you everything in you wants to retaliate, don't stand in your integrity and God will
(16:27):
vindicate you.
It's a powerful, awesome thing, ladies and gentlemen.
And honestly, that's not even really what I wanted to talk about.
There's so many things I want to talk about.
I just wanted to share that with you guys because it's such a great testimony of God's
goodness and speaking of testimony at the church, we've been talking about preaching
on healing on Sundays, healing and not just this last Sunday, but the Sunday before.
(16:53):
So two weeks ago or almost two Sundays ago, I should say at this point, we I prayed for
the sick.
We had people pray for the sick and such.
And I said, I want to hear testimonies next week.
I had four or five people stand up this Sunday giving awesome testimony of how God set them
free.
And some of them in funny ways.
I'll tell you one.
(17:14):
My daughter, she kind of she had this kind of this knot and pinch in her back and she
was really frustrated because it was causing her a lot of discomfort.
So she was praying about it and she felt like God just directed her, spoke to her and says,
just punch the air as hard and as fast as you can.
Now I don't know about you, ladies and gentlemen, but that's kind of a strange thing for God
to tell people.
But she says, well, what can it hurt?
(17:35):
Let me try it.
So she stood up and started punching at the air as hard and as fast as she could for a
few moments and then a pop, there's a pop in her back and the whole thing loosens up.
And now she doesn't have that pinch.
She doesn't have that stiffness.
She doesn't have that pain.
And she set free.
Why?
Because God told her, just punch the air.
(17:57):
Sometimes it happens that way, ladies and gentlemen.
God is awesome.
God is wonderful.
You know, it's almost like one of these things.
Go down there and take seven dips in the Jordan River right there and you'll be set free.
Go punch the air.
Hey, let me spit in your eyes.
Let me make some mud and wipe it in your eyes.
Things that don't always make sense, but with God always work if it's truly God.
(18:22):
So we just, just awesome, awesome, awesome testimonies of how people are being healed
and set free at GWCC.
That stands for Greater Worst Christian Church, ladies and gentlemen, Greater Worst Christian
Church right here in Lancaster, L12 off of 20th Street West.
(18:43):
I hope you come in and check us out sometime.
I want to throw out, I want to give a shout out.
I'm going to throw this out to you guys.
For those of you who live in the Palmdale, Lancaster area.
Now I have a couple of restaurants out here in the, what we call the AV for those of you
outside of the AV, the Antelope Valley that I really enjoy.
(19:04):
One in Palmdale, Barbacoa, Tony, the owner there, great Cuban food.
I mean, phenomenal.
This place is great.
Okay.
But there's also a restaurant on Lancaster Boulevard in Lancaster called La Papillon
and another great, great, great, great restaurant.
So I have one in Palmdale.
If I'm on that end of town, I have one in Lancaster when I'm on this end of town, both
(19:28):
of them are phenomenal, both of them are great.
I love them both.
Visit them both.
But I want to give a shout out to La Papillon in Lancaster, right on Lancaster Boulevard,
just East of 10th Street West.
Because what, what Lucy, the owner of La Papillon has just recently begun is a buffet in during
(19:50):
the week.
And I think they have it on, on the weekends as well.
During the week, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. buffet.
It's only 15.99, ladies and gentlemen.
I mean, I can, I'll spend more than that just going to a fast food place.
Now I don't do fast food very often, but now it's even less often because fast food has
(20:11):
become so expensive.
So what I'll do is when I need, you know, a quick meal and especially a lot of food,
I'll go to La Papillon, 15.99, walk right in, grab my plate and start serving myself
because it's a buffet.
Eat as much as I want.
And what I really love about it, because I like to go to the gym and work out a little
bit, I typically eat a lot more protein than the average Joe.
(20:34):
So they have, like today, I'll just tell you what they had today.
Today I had corned beef.
That was spectacular.
It was awesome.
Chicken, like a, like an oven roasted chicken.
They had, I don't eat pork, but they had pork ribs.
They have pizza.
They have a pasta dish.
Today it was a chipotle pasta.
(20:56):
They have rice, grilled vegetables, salad bar, fruit, desserts.
And then of course you can order a drink beyond that.
And 15.99, ladies and gentlemen.
Now that doesn't include your drink.
So don't tell him, Hey, he said it included a drink.
No, I didn't say that.
15.99 for the meal, if you get water, it's 15.99, you know, plus whatever taxes and tip
(21:21):
you leave.
But for 15.99, ladies and gentlemen, that's like fast food prices these days.
And you get this top quality, high quality food and as much as you want.
And like I said, for me, I eat a lot of meat.
I eat a lot of protein.
I eat a lot of meat.
I wolfed down that corned beef today.
I was in corned beef heaven.
(21:42):
I wolfed down those chicken legs.
I was in chicken leg heaven.
I had two desserts, these little pastry puff balls that were oh my gosh, they were so awesome.
I had salad, I had fruit, I had the vegetables.
Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I was in heaven.
So if you're in Palmdale, go to Baracoa.
(22:04):
If you're in Lancaster, go to La Papillon.
Or if you are in Palmdale and you want to go to La Papillon, go for it.
If you're in Lancashire, you want to go to Baracoa, go for it.
I go to both.
And we love them both.
But La Papillon, I really appreciate it.
Lucy and her husband started this buffet with the idea, two things, of trying to give their
(22:26):
workers more hours so that they can make a paycheck because everything's getting so tough
out there and to help the community with prices going up.
So they're not really making any money off of it.
They're doing their best to keep it as low as they possibly can to cover costs.
But at the same time, you know, you guys know if you're in business, that isn't always that
(22:49):
they're probably losing some money.
So my point on all this, please pop in, eat the buffet.
$15.99 a person.
Tell them I sent you and tell them thank you for doing that for you and for the community.
Because I think that's a great thing, you know, what they're doing.
And same thing with Tony at Baracoa.
He just finished this outside patio that's beautiful and gorgeous.
(23:12):
Great in the evening times.
And real soon we're going to have cooler evenings.
So it'd be phenomenal out there.
Fire pits and everything like that.
Beautiful.
Do this.
Take your wife on a date or wives.
Take your husband on a date.
Take your boyfriend, girlfriend on a date.
Go for it.
And you know, tell them I sent you.
You know, I want to also read an article to you.
(23:35):
Oh, I got one more thing I want to tell you.
I am just giving great plugs to everybody today.
Well, everybody that deserves it.
My wife and I went yesterday to see a movie.
Now I'm not like this huge, huge, huge, huge movie guy.
There's movies like I love Lord of the Rings movies such as that.
I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Hobbit, things of that nature.
(23:58):
I love those kind of movies.
All right.
I really enjoy those kind of movies.
But there was this, there's this movie out called Harold and the Purple Crayon.
Not typically my kind of movie.
Only for one reason.
It seemed like and looked like a children's movie.
But the lead actor is somebody that I really like is Zachary Levy.
(24:21):
Hopefully I'm saying there I may be Levi, Zachary Levi, Zachary Levy.
He's, oh, he played in Shazam.
He was Shazam in the, in the Shazam movies.
He was Chuck in the TV program Chuck.
And now he's in this Harold and the Purple Crayon.
And again, it's somewhat in a way a children's movie, but it, and yet at the same time it's
(24:46):
not, it's just a fun, clean movie.
Funny.
There's some funny parts in it.
It's super clean.
It's enjoyable.
I walked out of that movie theater, very refreshed by it.
It was very well done.
It was, it was just, it was a great movie all the way around.
So I highly suggest that.
Yes, mom and dad, you could take your kids to it.
(25:07):
It's clean.
To me, you know, if you're into that kind of stuff, it's a great date night.
Again, hey, do this.
If you, if you go to Baracoa or to La Papillon, both of them are excellent, you know, and
then go see Harold and the Purple Crayon.
What a great movie night and date night that would make.
(25:29):
It was just fun.
It was, it was exciting, but it was fun and funny.
Exciting.
It was, it was just a breath of fresh air all the way around.
And if you guys know who Zachary Levi, Levi Levi, I'm not sure how to pronounce his last
name.
If you know who that is, you've seen him in other things.
I know you appreciate him.
(25:49):
The, the actress, the lead actress was Zoe.
How do you say her name?
Zoe Deschanel?
Zoe Deschanel?
Anyways, Zoe, you guys know that you know her.
I think most people do.
She was in it.
Lead actress.
Great movie.
Just clean, fun.
I plan on taking my grandkids.
(26:10):
I plan on taking a bunch of adults to it too as well because it was that good.
Now after that, again, that was awesome.
I have one last thing I want to read to you because this is, things are getting so strange,
almost comical, but it's not comical because we have to deal with this nonsense.
But here's this article from Daily Wire written by Ryan Saavedra, Saavedra, August 12th.
(26:38):
That was yesterday, 2024.
And the title of this is the European Union threatens Musk.
That's Elon Musk.
Threatens Musk over Trump interview.
Musk fires back with a meme.
Listen, I am not an Elon Musk fan in the regard.
I know a lot of people are like huge fans.
(26:59):
What I do like about and appreciate about Elon Musk is he has a kind of a canny way
of just having some common sense and really standing up for what he believes in, which
I'm not saying everything he believes in do I even agree with nor vice versa.
But there's a lot of things that I agree with him on.
And I appreciate somebody with his bank account standing up because it says something.
(27:24):
So this is it's kind of funny in a way.
And yet sad all at the same time.
Sad that anybody in the world has to deal with this nonsense.
But it says the European Union threatened ex owner Elon Musk on Monday ahead of his
interview with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump warning that he needs to censure
potentially harmful content or else his company could be punished.
(27:46):
So Elon Musk is going to do an interview with Donald Trump.
And now the European Union is threatening Elon Musk to censor that interview or else
he's going to be punished.
I mean, anyways, let me just go on.
(28:07):
EU industry chief theory theory Bretton.
I don't it looks like Terry but it's T H I E R R Y.
But anyways, doesn't matter.
Said in his letter that the warning was being made because users on X promoted content on
the social media platform about the disturbing events that have been unfolding in the United
Kingdom surrounding migrants and large Muslim gangs.
(28:30):
So a little history from what I understand.
Elon Musk has been very critical and pointing out all of the the problems that that's happening
in England, the United Kingdom.
I'm sorry.
United Kingdom.
And how these Muslim gangs are causing all kinds of problems there.
Destroying things, destroying property, hurting people.
(28:53):
And it's these Muslim gangs, these migrant Muslim gangs that are doing this.
And so he's pointing it out.
And so that got him into some hot water with the European Union, who's too cowardly.
In other words, there is so cowardly that they're going to try to shut down Elon Musk
instead of shutting down these Muslim gangs.
(29:14):
It's easier to go after Elon Musk, but they're too cowardly to go after the Muslim gangs
who are causing all the problems.
Anyways, goes on to say, I am compelled to remind you of the due diligence obligations
set out in the Digital Service Act, the DSA, Bretton said, as the individual entity ultimately
controlling a platform with over 300 million users worldwide, of which one third in the
(29:39):
EU that has been designated as a very large online platform, you have the legal obligation
to ensure access compliance with EU law and in particular the DSA in the EU.
Now DSA again stands for Digital Service Act.
That's a mouthful.
(30:00):
Bretton said that X must make sure effective mitigation measures are put in place regarding
the amplification of harmful content in connection with relevant events, including live streaming,
which if unaddressed might increase the risk profile of X and generate detrimental effects
(30:23):
on civic discord and public security.
This is important against the background of recent examples of public unrest brought about
by the amplification of content that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence,
or certain instances of disinformation, he added.
(30:44):
So the European Union is going after Elon Musk for talking about these problems instead
of the people causing the problems.
In other words, the European Union is going after Musk the same way those in the Democrat
Party were going after conservatives for pointing out what Antifa and BLM was doing instead
(31:08):
of going after the ones causing the problem, Antifa and BLM.
So BLM, Antifa people can go burn down the city, but the moment a conservative rises
up and say, look, we've got to stop this BLM nonsense.
We got to stop this Antifa nonsense.
Oh, you're inciting violence.
No, the violence already happened by BLM and by Antifa.
(31:30):
And it's the same thing here.
These Muslim gangs, they're the troublemakers.
They're the ones causing all the problems.
I'm just pointing it out.
I'm shining a light on it.
And the European Union, instead of going after the Muslim gangs, are going after Elon Musk.
I mean, ladies and gentlemen, am I the only one that sees a problem with this?
Am I the only one that sees the hypocrisy in this?
(31:51):
Am I the only one that sees that they have misplaced their frustration, their anger,
their responsibility?
They're going after Elon Musk and acts for just shining a light really on their failure.
Because yes, even though it's the Muslim gangs, it's the European Union that's allowing these
(32:14):
Muslim gangs to do what they're doing.
Why?
Because they're too cowardly to go do anything about it.
It's easier to go after Elon Musk, who is only going to fight back verbally or maybe
in the courts.
They're too scared to go square off with the Muslims because the Muslims are known to chop
people's heads off.
Anyways, let me go on with this.
(32:36):
He says, Brenton noted that the EU already has a case against X.
And if Musk does not take steps to restrict free speech, in his interview with Trump,
that the EU could add evidence against him in the case.
So what it really boils down to, ladies and gentlemen, is this interview with Donald J.
Trump.
(32:56):
They're not so much angry that he shine a light on the Muslim gangs that are running
wild and them not doing anything about it.
Oh, that probably bothers them.
But not nearly as much as him, as Elon Musk posting and speaking about and doing this
interview with Donald Trump.
Let me read this again.
Brenton noted that the EU already has a case against X and that if Musk does not take steps
(33:23):
to restrict free speech, in his interview with Trump, that the EU could add evidence
against him in the case.
So it's really this interview with Trump that got their little panties in a bunch.
And that's the European Union, ladies and gentlemen.
We saw what happened at the Olympics with the opening ceremony.
(33:48):
You know, they're in France, Paris, France.
So we understand that, yeah, this might be a man that's writing this, but certainly his
panties are in a bunch.
Anyways, let me finish reading this.
As the relevant content is accessible to EU users and being amplified also in our jurisdiction,
(34:08):
we cannot exclude potential spillovers in the EU, he said.
Therefore, we are monitoring the potential risks in the EU associated with the dissemination
of content that may incite violence, hate and racism in conjunction with major political
or societal events around the world, including debates and interviews in the context of elections.
(34:33):
Musk fired back with a response aimed directly at Bretton's post on X where Bretton posted
the letter.
So he posts this letter on X.
OK, check this out.
This was funny.
This dude, Bretton, uses X, the X platform that Trump owns, and he owns it for free speech.
(34:54):
He owns it and he operates it for free speech.
In other words, you can get on there and pretty much put anything.
It's free speech.
So they're trying to keep him from his from, you know, free speech.
They don't want him to have free speech.
They're trying to monitor and censor X and Elon Musk.
(35:15):
But they post this letter threatening him on X that promotes free speech.
So they use free speech to condemn free speech.
And they use the platform for free speech to tell him he doesn't have it.
But of course, they do.
(35:36):
And they took advantage of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, again, I know you've heard me say this so many times, especially
when I'm dealing with that whole liberal mindset.
This could be a classic Saturday Night Live skit or mad TV skit or something of that nature.
I'm going to start I'm going to come up with my own sitcom, comedy, political sitcom.
(36:01):
And all I'm going to do is take, well, posts like this and turn it into an episode.
Tune into next week for Elon Musk, X and free speech.
Anyways, so so so it goes on to say Musk fired back with a response aimed directly at Brenton
(36:23):
Brenton's post on X where Brenton posted the letter.
He says, to be honest, I really wanted to respond with this Tropic Thunder meme, but
I would never do something so rude and irresponsible.
Musk wrote the meme, I guess is from Tropic Thunder.
(36:46):
And that shows I believe that's Tom Cruise with a bald makeup, making him look bald.
Anyways, it says this, I'm not going to read the whole thing because I don't use this kind
of language, but I'll do my best to get as close to I can so you get the gist of it without
actually hearing it completely.
(37:06):
But so if you could picture this scene from Tropic Thunder of Tom Cruise with a bald makeup
head on, you know, kind of looking like a little bit older and bald.
And it says this, take a big step back and literally F your own face.
Now again, I don't like swearing at all.
I don't.
(37:27):
And this is one of those areas that me and Elon Musk would have a huge problem with.
But honestly, ladies and gentlemen, the principle, I will say that that way, I totally agree
with that.
The European Union, this nut job in the European Union is going to use the platform X owned
(37:48):
by Elon Musk for free speech.
It's going to use that same platform to threaten Elon Musk to not exercise free speech.
Yet they wanted to exercise their freedom of speech in throwing out this threat to Elon
Musk over his use of free speech.
(38:10):
I don't know.
Is that ironic and strange and weird?
I mean, am I reading this correctly?
I'm sorry, but yeah, this is weird.
So I just want to read maybe a couple of these comments because they open these things up
to comments from their listeners or their readers.
And this is from Citizen H.K. Rising Star.
(38:34):
The same type of semper ship is happening here at Google, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook,
MSM and the government.
They do not want you to know the truth, only their truth.
They will punish those who do not follow the narrative.
Free speech is under attack everywhere.
We must push back every time we face it.
The Marxist Democrats want to change the Supreme Court when the court's responsibility is
(38:59):
to enforce our constitution.
They want the filibuster gone so they can have more control over the populace.
The bottom line is fight like hell to maintain our constitution, which I agree.
So ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.
What we're facing here in the United States of America where they're trying to strip us
of our free speech.
(39:19):
I mean, you know, it's funny.
We still have free speech.
As long as that speech agrees with them and doesn't offend the left, then it's OK.
But the moment that it offends them or they don't like it, oh, take it away.
Censor it.
You can't do that.
You know, and that's free speech is no longer free anymore.
It has to agree with the liberals.
(39:40):
It has to make them feel good.
Has to stroke their ego.
You know, that's why if you say, oh, I'm all for the LGBT alphabet grew, they're like,
yeah, we applaud you.
Free speech.
See, that's free speech.
The next guy comes along and says, no, I totally disagree with it.
It's perversion is gross.
Oh, look at that.
It's hate speech.
We must find him.
We must arrest him.
(40:01):
We must throw him behind bars.
He must never be able to speak like that again.
And it's happening here.
It's certainly happening in the EU.
It's happening in Great Britain and it's starting to happen here.
So ladies and gentlemen, what do we do?
We've got to fight back.
We have to fight back.
Anyways, so we have we covered a lot of different things and told you a little bit about what's
(40:23):
going on in my church.
We gave you some great plugs for some great restaurants in the AV, two of them.
But please go check out this buffet at La Papillon and Lancaster Boulevard and told
you how the church was coming along.
And we talked about what's going on with Elon Musk and the European Union.
This is going to be something fun to kind of watch to see how it plays out because I
(40:46):
don't see that Elon Musk is one to back down.
You know, I saw a little joke meme recently that says Elon Musk just bought England.
And now he's straightened them all out.
So they came against him.
So he just bought the whole place.
So, hey, European Union, be careful.
(41:07):
He might just buy you out and fire all of you the way he did.
What was it?
Twitter.
I really wish Elon Musk would buy Google.
Google is wicked, man.
Anyways, so God bless you all.
I really hope to see you all soon.
Come and check us out here at Greater Worse Christian Church, a no-nonsense church that
(41:30):
is growing and moving forward and looking more and more and more beautiful each and
every day.
God bless you.
I will see you all soon.
Thank you for joining us at Table Flippers.
Table Flippers podcast is a ministry of Greater Worse Christian Church in Lancaster, California.
(41:52):
You can find us on the web.
You can find us on Facebook.
You can find us on Instagram.
Look for us at Greater Worse Christian Church or Table Flippers.
I hope to see you soon.
Oh and the church, the church is coming along faaaaaaantastic!
(00:21):
Man everything is looking really beautiful around here, we've got crews working around
the clock!
Ok, maybe not around the clock, but a good solid 7-8 hours a day doing all kinds of work
around here, and it's coming out beautiful actually!
This is your host, Robert A. Enos, and this is your favorite podcast, Table Flippers,
(00:42):
a ministry of Greater Works Christian Church, and the church that I was just speaking of
is Greater Works Christian Church right here in Lancaster, California, 1754 L12 on the
west side, right off of 20th Street West.
Those of you who know the AV could probably picture this place in your mind, or at least
(01:04):
really close to it.
And yes, when we moved into this place a little, not quite a year yet, almost a year, and it
needed some work, we were able to sell our old building, and now we are able to get this
place fixed up and renovated a little bit.
When I say renovated, the main sanctuary was already beautiful, we just had the carpets
(01:25):
clean though, and we're getting ready to put together a live worship team, so that's coming
along beautifully, the floors look clean, it smells clean in there, and the other buildings,
what we are using as a fellowship hall is the original sanctuary building, we use it
(01:46):
as a fellowship hall, we did all the lighting in there, the electrical, when I say we did
it, I didn't do it, we hired somebody to come in and do it, somebody who knows what they're
doing, so new lights, new ceiling fans, all the electrical squared away and taken care
of, we're having the outside completely redone, all the walkways, the awnings, the shade structures,
(02:14):
and all of that is getting buttoned up and beautified, and they are scraping and power
washing, getting ready to paint, and so these guys are doing a phenomenal job, and it's
going to make our church grounds look very, very, very, very beautiful.
So ladies and gentlemen, please come on out and join us sometime, we're doing great over
(02:37):
here, and it's really interesting, I haven't really talked about this too much openly,
at least directly, for a lot of reasons, but just shortly, well, a few months ago, we had
an issue at the church, and a whole group of people left.
Now again, I'm not going to get into all the detail on it, all I can, what I am going to
(03:00):
say though is, ladies and gentlemen, one of the worst things in the world that you can
do is cause or be part of a church split, and yes, we had a church split, now before
anybody freaks out and tries to figure out what was going on, let me explain something
to you.
There was a couple in the church that got upset due to some issues, and instead of just
(03:26):
dipping out and saying their goodbyes and just dipping out, they went and got a whole
mess of people riled up, and those people left with them.
Most of those people didn't even have the courage to come and sit down and talk to me
and my wife, which was very disheartening, because these are people that we did life
with.
(03:46):
And then some of them that did come and talk to us already had it in their mind about what
they were or were not going to do.
We had people come in, oh, the Lord told me to stay, two days later, oh, the Lord told
me to leave.
So whatever God that they were serving is double-minded and schizophrenic, so, you know,
whatever.
(04:07):
But here's what happened, ladies and gentlemen.
Here's what happened.
My immediate knee-jerk thought and idea was, oh my gosh, we just moved into this building
we're just getting settled.
What are we going to do?
Here's what happened since then.
Okay, here's what happened since then.
This is so beautiful and this is only God.
Okay, every one of those people have been replaced with new people that have come.
(04:30):
As a matter of fact, some of the people that have left way before all of this mess, when
they heard what went down and who left the church, they came back and says, we're back.
Part of the reason that we left in the first place was because of those people.
And now that we found out that they're gone, we're back because we actually love the church.
We just didn't like being around them.
I mean, that's what I was told.
(04:52):
As funny and strange as that is, it's like, ah, really?
We had some people that were away from the church for a while due to their job, but just
recently came back and says, you know what?
This place has completely changed.
The entire atmosphere has changed.
It's free.
It's free here now.
It feels good.
(05:13):
And so a lot of people in the beginning were really struggling with this as I was like,
what's going on?
What do we do?
How are we going to move forward?
This is really going to set some bad things in play in the church.
And you know what?
Our God is so good that it did the exact opposite.
As a matter of fact, I started getting all kinds of texts and things from different people
(05:36):
that didn't even go to the church that would send me things, send me things that they were
going through or praying for, where God showed them that didn't even go to the church, didn't
even know what was going on.
Let me see if I can read one to you, ladies and gentlemen.
Ah, here's one.
I'm not going to tell you the people who sent this to me only because I didn't get their
permission, but this is just what I dealt with again, with somebody that doesn't even
(05:59):
go to the church.
Okay.
They sent me this text and this goes back a couple months, but nonetheless, it says,
as much as I want to share with you about our faith journey, I also want to share some
prophetic insight I have for the warfare against your church.
The Lord is restructuring your ministry and establishing a higher dimension of apostolic
(06:22):
government.
A Leviathan has come into your waters of transition.
I also have heard accusations against you in the spirit realm by members of your own
congregation.
This is somebody that didn't go to the church, didn't even know what was going on and writes
this.
I also heard accusations against you in the spirit realm by members of your own congregation.
We have much to talk about.
(06:44):
God bless you, my brother.
Strife, splitting the church, bewilderment, confusion, scattering the sheep into the wilderness.
That's the record.
That's what the person wrote.
Um, a little while later, this is a...
Oh, actually, it was the same day.
Yeah, the same day.
He writes this.
This is what he's saying prophetically.
(07:05):
Who is this?
Who thinks that they can take your pastorate and your church from you?
Who is this?
Who is this before Zerubbabel?
For as a high mountain, you shall become a plain.
That's Zachariah 4, 6 through 9.
Who is this?
Who darkens counsel and speaks without knowledge?
Church given as a reward and a vindication.
Talking about this church building.
(07:27):
Job 38, 2.
Will not be able to steal your candlestick.
Okay, remind me about the witching.
The witching hour.
That's what he writes.
So it's interesting that I get this, like I said, from somebody who doesn't even go
to the church and knows very little about our church, our church function, everything.
This is somebody that I knew many, many, many, many, many years ago and I had not seen in
(07:52):
many years.
And then he gets this in the spirit when he's praying.
And here's another one from another gentleman out of state that's only been to this church
one time and he lives out of state.
And he is in the ministry, but he lives out of state.
He's only been to our church one time as a guest.
And he writes this.
He says, Robin Linda, during my prayer time for you guys, the Lord spoke something very
(08:15):
specific to me.
He said that there was a demonic undertow that was working in the church that you all
were unaware of.
Then he said to me that his purpose in allowing this issue to surface was meant to protect
you from further destruction.
That the loss would be reversed to victory because he is bringing remnant loyal warriors
(08:36):
into your fold.
Be encouraged, love and blessings.
So my point on even sharing this with you is not to rat anybody out necessarily.
Okay, but at this point it's just like, you know what?
So much has happened and so much is going on.
And I tried to keep everything quiet.
My wife and I purposely did not say much at all.
We haven't shared much at all, even from our own pulpit.
(08:59):
And it left a lot of people wondering, but we just knew it wasn't, we weren't going
to do that.
The only reason I'm bringing it to you now is not to even tell you about my woes, ladies
and gentlemen.
Oh my gosh, look what we went through.
I don't want anybody feeling sorry for me because there's no need to feel sorry for
me because let me tell you what's been happening.
(09:20):
We're in our new building and our new building is getting beautified.
Even right now we've got new lights, ceiling fans, paint is about to be thrown on there.
They're doing some stucco work.
They worked on all of the awnings and the, what do they call it?
The shade coverings and we just had the carpets cleaned in the main sanctuary and we're getting,
(09:41):
we're working on live worship again and getting a whole worship team together.
We are already in discussions with people about going to the nations again, Mexico,
South Africa, possibly Brazil and all of these different places that the doors are opening
for us.
Once again, I put a stop to a lot of that because I was engaged in other things, but
(10:05):
now we're getting settled in our new building.
We're getting settled back in the nations.
We have the means to make this place really beautiful and gorgeous and we're going to
do it.
And it's drawing the attention of people all over this valley, all over this region, but
(10:25):
also out of state.
People out of state are taking notice of what's going on here.
And ladies and gentlemen, as good as that is, people outside of the nation is beginning
to see what God is doing here in Greater West Christian Church right here in Lancaster.
So God is positioning us and preparing us for something even better than what we're
(10:47):
experiencing right now.
And what we're experiencing right now is fantastic.
And all of that using that text that I got from a friend, that demonic undertow that
was in the house, that was in many ways going undetected.
Well now it's fully detected, fully on display, not in the house, but because it's out of
(11:10):
the house.
And we got people that have not been around at all for any of the mess coming back and
going, wow, it's so free here now.
This is so awesome.
Many people that don't even know anything about anything.
Wow, something shifted around here.
Something changed in you guys.
And it's really a great thing, ladies and gentlemen.
(11:30):
So I don't want to sound in any way like I'm trying to expose anybody because the reality
of it is here's what's happened, ladies and gentlemen, since all that went down, the group
that left have been extremely vocal and they exposed themselves.
Extremely petty and childish on social media and even with people in the community.
(11:52):
I'll go someplace and the business owner will say, hey, so-and-so came and talked to me.
And they said this, this, this, and this.
I'm like, wait, wait, wait.
You don't even go to my church.
You have nothing to do with my church.
You have nothing to do with anything that happened.
Why are they telling you?
And this has not happened just once.
This happened several times.
So it's been a strange thing in a lot of ways, but it's been a very, very, very, very good
(12:18):
thing in other ways because here's what it's done.
Every time somebody goes out and slanders myself or my wife or my church, what it does
is it solidifies our position in the region.
What do I mean by that?
Is because people that know me, some of the people don't even like me, but they know that
(12:39):
I'm a solid guy, that I'm truthful, that I'm honest, I have integrity.
So when they come and say something foolish like, oh yeah, they over there at GWCC, A-Rob
and P-Lin are so controlling, these business owners look at them and go, no, we know them
and they're not controlling.
Well, there are this, that, and the other thing.
And then, no, they're not.
(13:00):
And what it's doing is not only exposing them for the nonsense, but it's solidifying us.
And it's actually in a weird way.
I know this is strange, ladies and gentlemen.
It makes us look very, very good.
Now, again, I'm only bringing this out because of this.
Number one, I want to share with you what's going on at the church.
We're in a very good place, but I want to share this also.
(13:21):
If you stay true to Christ and you follow Him and you are obedient to Him, even when
people come against you, you don't have to fight, you don't have to retaliate, you don't
have to do anything.
Stand your ground in the sense of just stand in your integrity.
I'll put it that way.
Stand in your integrity and you watch God flip the script, turn it all around and use
(13:42):
what the devil meant for your destruction.
He's going to use to make you shine.
And that's what's been happening.
That is what's been happening here.
And it's so profound and it's so awesome.
My relationships with the pastors that I've worked with that have caught wind of this
are stronger now.
My relationship with the people here at the church is stronger now.
(14:06):
My relationship with the people in the community are stronger now.
And you know what?
We're just standing and we're moving forward.
And this is so profound.
And I just read those really three texts from two different people.
One of them gave me two texts, you know, messages.
But that was just the small tip of the iceberg.
I have people that I don't even, you know, like I said, I know them, but they're not
(14:30):
really part of the church.
Call or text or write or something.
Hey, I had a dream about you or I had a dream about this person or I had a dream about your
church and it's all pointing to us moving up the mountain, so to speak.
And I am just so blown away and bewildered because like I said at the beginning, I was
very frustrated.
(14:51):
I was angry.
I was confused.
I was, you know, all of this, all of these emotions going through my head, but it was
just like, no, chill, chill.
God's got you covered.
And you know what?
God, God is covered.
And I have to say this about my wife.
My wife has been a rock.
I'm not saying she hasn't gone through the emotion, but she is a rock, immovable, because
(15:13):
she knows me.
Somebody comes against me or especially her.
I want to come out fighting.
I want to come out and I want the world to know, hey, I'm not going to put up with
this.
But because of her and I respected and I honored her, she said she felt like God told her,
chill out.
He'll vindicate us.
And you know what?
God has more than vindicated us over and over and over and over again.
(15:39):
You know, it's really weird.
It's almost as if now I'm not saying I'm doing this and I'm not suggesting you should do
this, but it's almost as if I want them to continue to talk bad about us and lie and
slander because every time they do, it makes us look better.
It's the weirdest thing, ladies and gentlemen, it is the weirdest thing.
(16:02):
So again, I'm saying this more for you than than I am for me.
Please just stand strong.
Know this that if people lie about you, slander you, belittle you, just stand in your integrity.
Do not get away from your integrity.
Stand in Christ or be obedient to him and stand in your integrity.
Even when you everything in you wants to retaliate, don't stand in your integrity and God will
(16:27):
vindicate you.
It's a powerful, awesome thing, ladies and gentlemen.
And honestly, that's not even really what I wanted to talk about.
There's so many things I want to talk about.
I just wanted to share that with you guys because it's such a great testimony of God's
goodness and speaking of testimony at the church, we've been talking about preaching
on healing on Sundays, healing and not just this last Sunday, but the Sunday before.
(16:53):
So two weeks ago or almost two Sundays ago, I should say at this point, we I prayed for
the sick.
We had people pray for the sick and such.
And I said, I want to hear testimonies next week.
I had four or five people stand up this Sunday giving awesome testimony of how God set them
free.
And some of them in funny ways.
I'll tell you one.
(17:14):
My daughter, she kind of she had this kind of this knot and pinch in her back and she
was really frustrated because it was causing her a lot of discomfort.
So she was praying about it and she felt like God just directed her, spoke to her and says,
just punch the air as hard and as fast as you can.
Now I don't know about you, ladies and gentlemen, but that's kind of a strange thing for God
to tell people.
But she says, well, what can it hurt?
(17:35):
Let me try it.
So she stood up and started punching at the air as hard and as fast as she could for a
few moments and then a pop, there's a pop in her back and the whole thing loosens up.
And now she doesn't have that pinch.
She doesn't have that stiffness.
She doesn't have that pain.
And she set free.
Why?
Because God told her, just punch the air.
(17:57):
Sometimes it happens that way, ladies and gentlemen.
God is awesome.
God is wonderful.
You know, it's almost like one of these things.
Go down there and take seven dips in the Jordan River right there and you'll be set free.
Go punch the air.
Hey, let me spit in your eyes.
Let me make some mud and wipe it in your eyes.
Things that don't always make sense, but with God always work if it's truly God.
(18:22):
So we just, just awesome, awesome, awesome testimonies of how people are being healed
and set free at GWCC.
That stands for Greater Worst Christian Church, ladies and gentlemen, Greater Worst Christian
Church right here in Lancaster, L12 off of 20th Street West.
(18:43):
I hope you come in and check us out sometime.
I want to throw out, I want to give a shout out.
I'm going to throw this out to you guys.
For those of you who live in the Palmdale, Lancaster area.
Now I have a couple of restaurants out here in the, what we call the AV for those of you
outside of the AV, the Antelope Valley that I really enjoy.
(19:04):
One in Palmdale, Barbacoa, Tony, the owner there, great Cuban food.
I mean, phenomenal.
This place is great.
Okay.
But there's also a restaurant on Lancaster Boulevard in Lancaster called La Papillon
and another great, great, great, great restaurant.
So I have one in Palmdale.
If I'm on that end of town, I have one in Lancaster when I'm on this end of town, both
(19:28):
of them are phenomenal, both of them are great.
I love them both.
Visit them both.
But I want to give a shout out to La Papillon in Lancaster, right on Lancaster Boulevard,
just East of 10th Street West.
Because what, what Lucy, the owner of La Papillon has just recently begun is a buffet in during
(19:50):
the week.
And I think they have it on, on the weekends as well.
During the week, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. buffet.
It's only 15.99, ladies and gentlemen.
I mean, I can, I'll spend more than that just going to a fast food place.
Now I don't do fast food very often, but now it's even less often because fast food has
(20:11):
become so expensive.
So what I'll do is when I need, you know, a quick meal and especially a lot of food,
I'll go to La Papillon, 15.99, walk right in, grab my plate and start serving myself
because it's a buffet.
Eat as much as I want.
And what I really love about it, because I like to go to the gym and work out a little
bit, I typically eat a lot more protein than the average Joe.
(20:34):
So they have, like today, I'll just tell you what they had today.
Today I had corned beef.
That was spectacular.
It was awesome.
Chicken, like a, like an oven roasted chicken.
They had, I don't eat pork, but they had pork ribs.
They have pizza.
They have a pasta dish.
Today it was a chipotle pasta.
(20:56):
They have rice, grilled vegetables, salad bar, fruit, desserts.
And then of course you can order a drink beyond that.
And 15.99, ladies and gentlemen.
Now that doesn't include your drink.
So don't tell him, Hey, he said it included a drink.
No, I didn't say that.
15.99 for the meal, if you get water, it's 15.99, you know, plus whatever taxes and tip
(21:21):
you leave.
But for 15.99, ladies and gentlemen, that's like fast food prices these days.
And you get this top quality, high quality food and as much as you want.
And like I said, for me, I eat a lot of meat.
I eat a lot of protein.
I eat a lot of meat.
I wolfed down that corned beef today.
I was in corned beef heaven.
(21:42):
I wolfed down those chicken legs.
I was in chicken leg heaven.
I had two desserts, these little pastry puff balls that were oh my gosh, they were so awesome.
I had salad, I had fruit, I had the vegetables.
Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I was in heaven.
So if you're in Palmdale, go to Baracoa.
(22:04):
If you're in Lancaster, go to La Papillon.
Or if you are in Palmdale and you want to go to La Papillon, go for it.
If you're in Lancashire, you want to go to Baracoa, go for it.
I go to both.
And we love them both.
But La Papillon, I really appreciate it.
Lucy and her husband started this buffet with the idea, two things, of trying to give their
(22:26):
workers more hours so that they can make a paycheck because everything's getting so tough
out there and to help the community with prices going up.
So they're not really making any money off of it.
They're doing their best to keep it as low as they possibly can to cover costs.
But at the same time, you know, you guys know if you're in business, that isn't always that
(22:49):
they're probably losing some money.
So my point on all this, please pop in, eat the buffet.
$15.99 a person.
Tell them I sent you and tell them thank you for doing that for you and for the community.
Because I think that's a great thing, you know, what they're doing.
And same thing with Tony at Baracoa.
He just finished this outside patio that's beautiful and gorgeous.
(23:12):
Great in the evening times.
And real soon we're going to have cooler evenings.
So it'd be phenomenal out there.
Fire pits and everything like that.
Beautiful.
Do this.
Take your wife on a date or wives.
Take your husband on a date.
Take your boyfriend, girlfriend on a date.
Go for it.
And you know, tell them I sent you.
You know, I want to also read an article to you.
(23:35):
Oh, I got one more thing I want to tell you.
I am just giving great plugs to everybody today.
Well, everybody that deserves it.
My wife and I went yesterday to see a movie.
Now I'm not like this huge, huge, huge, huge movie guy.
There's movies like I love Lord of the Rings movies such as that.
I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Hobbit, things of that nature.
(23:58):
I love those kind of movies.
All right.
I really enjoy those kind of movies.
But there was this, there's this movie out called Harold and the Purple Crayon.
Not typically my kind of movie.
Only for one reason.
It seemed like and looked like a children's movie.
But the lead actor is somebody that I really like is Zachary Levy.
(24:21):
Hopefully I'm saying there I may be Levi, Zachary Levi, Zachary Levy.
He's, oh, he played in Shazam.
He was Shazam in the, in the Shazam movies.
He was Chuck in the TV program Chuck.
And now he's in this Harold and the Purple Crayon.
And again, it's somewhat in a way a children's movie, but it, and yet at the same time it's
(24:46):
not, it's just a fun, clean movie.
Funny.
There's some funny parts in it.
It's super clean.
It's enjoyable.
I walked out of that movie theater, very refreshed by it.
It was very well done.
It was, it was just, it was a great movie all the way around.
So I highly suggest that.
Yes, mom and dad, you could take your kids to it.
(25:07):
It's clean.
To me, you know, if you're into that kind of stuff, it's a great date night.
Again, hey, do this.
If you, if you go to Baracoa or to La Papillon, both of them are excellent, you know, and
then go see Harold and the Purple Crayon.
What a great movie night and date night that would make.
(25:29):
It was just fun.
It was, it was exciting, but it was fun and funny.
Exciting.
It was, it was just a breath of fresh air all the way around.
And if you guys know who Zachary Levi, Levi Levi, I'm not sure how to pronounce his last
name.
If you know who that is, you've seen him in other things.
I know you appreciate him.
(25:49):
The, the actress, the lead actress was Zoe.
How do you say her name?
Zoe Deschanel?
Zoe Deschanel?
Anyways, Zoe, you guys know that you know her.
I think most people do.
She was in it.
Lead actress.
Great movie.
Just clean, fun.
I plan on taking my grandkids.
(26:10):
I plan on taking a bunch of adults to it too as well because it was that good.
Now after that, again, that was awesome.
I have one last thing I want to read to you because this is, things are getting so strange,
almost comical, but it's not comical because we have to deal with this nonsense.
But here's this article from Daily Wire written by Ryan Saavedra, Saavedra, August 12th.
(26:38):
That was yesterday, 2024.
And the title of this is the European Union threatens Musk.
That's Elon Musk.
Threatens Musk over Trump interview.
Musk fires back with a meme.
Listen, I am not an Elon Musk fan in the regard.
I know a lot of people are like huge fans.
(26:59):
What I do like about and appreciate about Elon Musk is he has a kind of a canny way
of just having some common sense and really standing up for what he believes in, which
I'm not saying everything he believes in do I even agree with nor vice versa.
But there's a lot of things that I agree with him on.
And I appreciate somebody with his bank account standing up because it says something.
(27:24):
So this is it's kind of funny in a way.
And yet sad all at the same time.
Sad that anybody in the world has to deal with this nonsense.
But it says the European Union threatened ex owner Elon Musk on Monday ahead of his
interview with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump warning that he needs to censure
potentially harmful content or else his company could be punished.
(27:46):
So Elon Musk is going to do an interview with Donald Trump.
And now the European Union is threatening Elon Musk to censor that interview or else
he's going to be punished.
I mean, anyways, let me just go on.
(28:07):
EU industry chief theory theory Bretton.
I don't it looks like Terry but it's T H I E R R Y.
But anyways, doesn't matter.
Said in his letter that the warning was being made because users on X promoted content on
the social media platform about the disturbing events that have been unfolding in the United
Kingdom surrounding migrants and large Muslim gangs.
(28:30):
So a little history from what I understand.
Elon Musk has been very critical and pointing out all of the the problems that that's happening
in England, the United Kingdom.
I'm sorry.
United Kingdom.
And how these Muslim gangs are causing all kinds of problems there.
Destroying things, destroying property, hurting people.
(28:53):
And it's these Muslim gangs, these migrant Muslim gangs that are doing this.
And so he's pointing it out.
And so that got him into some hot water with the European Union, who's too cowardly.
In other words, there is so cowardly that they're going to try to shut down Elon Musk
instead of shutting down these Muslim gangs.
(29:14):
It's easier to go after Elon Musk, but they're too cowardly to go after the Muslim gangs
who are causing all the problems.
Anyways, goes on to say, I am compelled to remind you of the due diligence obligations
set out in the Digital Service Act, the DSA, Bretton said, as the individual entity ultimately
controlling a platform with over 300 million users worldwide, of which one third in the
(29:39):
EU that has been designated as a very large online platform, you have the legal obligation
to ensure access compliance with EU law and in particular the DSA in the EU.
Now DSA again stands for Digital Service Act.
That's a mouthful.
(30:00):
Bretton said that X must make sure effective mitigation measures are put in place regarding
the amplification of harmful content in connection with relevant events, including live streaming,
which if unaddressed might increase the risk profile of X and generate detrimental effects
(30:23):
on civic discord and public security.
This is important against the background of recent examples of public unrest brought about
by the amplification of content that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence,
or certain instances of disinformation, he added.
(30:44):
So the European Union is going after Elon Musk for talking about these problems instead
of the people causing the problems.
In other words, the European Union is going after Musk the same way those in the Democrat
Party were going after conservatives for pointing out what Antifa and BLM was doing instead
(31:08):
of going after the ones causing the problem, Antifa and BLM.
So BLM, Antifa people can go burn down the city, but the moment a conservative rises
up and say, look, we've got to stop this BLM nonsense.
We got to stop this Antifa nonsense.
Oh, you're inciting violence.
No, the violence already happened by BLM and by Antifa.
(31:30):
And it's the same thing here.
These Muslim gangs, they're the troublemakers.
They're the ones causing all the problems.
I'm just pointing it out.
I'm shining a light on it.
And the European Union, instead of going after the Muslim gangs, are going after Elon Musk.
I mean, ladies and gentlemen, am I the only one that sees a problem with this?
Am I the only one that sees the hypocrisy in this?
(31:51):
Am I the only one that sees that they have misplaced their frustration, their anger,
their responsibility?
They're going after Elon Musk and acts for just shining a light really on their failure.
Because yes, even though it's the Muslim gangs, it's the European Union that's allowing these
(32:14):
Muslim gangs to do what they're doing.
Why?
Because they're too cowardly to go do anything about it.
It's easier to go after Elon Musk, who is only going to fight back verbally or maybe
in the courts.
They're too scared to go square off with the Muslims because the Muslims are known to chop
people's heads off.
Anyways, let me go on with this.
(32:36):
He says, Brenton noted that the EU already has a case against X.
And if Musk does not take steps to restrict free speech, in his interview with Trump,
that the EU could add evidence against him in the case.
So what it really boils down to, ladies and gentlemen, is this interview with Donald J.
Trump.
(32:56):
They're not so much angry that he shine a light on the Muslim gangs that are running
wild and them not doing anything about it.
Oh, that probably bothers them.
But not nearly as much as him, as Elon Musk posting and speaking about and doing this
interview with Donald Trump.
Let me read this again.
Brenton noted that the EU already has a case against X and that if Musk does not take steps
(33:23):
to restrict free speech, in his interview with Trump, that the EU could add evidence
against him in the case.
So it's really this interview with Trump that got their little panties in a bunch.
And that's the European Union, ladies and gentlemen.
We saw what happened at the Olympics with the opening ceremony.
(33:48):
You know, they're in France, Paris, France.
So we understand that, yeah, this might be a man that's writing this, but certainly his
panties are in a bunch.
Anyways, let me finish reading this.
As the relevant content is accessible to EU users and being amplified also in our jurisdiction,
(34:08):
we cannot exclude potential spillovers in the EU, he said.
Therefore, we are monitoring the potential risks in the EU associated with the dissemination
of content that may incite violence, hate and racism in conjunction with major political
or societal events around the world, including debates and interviews in the context of elections.
(34:33):
Musk fired back with a response aimed directly at Bretton's post on X where Bretton posted
the letter.
So he posts this letter on X.
OK, check this out.
This was funny.
This dude, Bretton, uses X, the X platform that Trump owns, and he owns it for free speech.
(34:54):
He owns it and he operates it for free speech.
In other words, you can get on there and pretty much put anything.
It's free speech.
So they're trying to keep him from his from, you know, free speech.
They don't want him to have free speech.
They're trying to monitor and censor X and Elon Musk.
(35:15):
But they post this letter threatening him on X that promotes free speech.
So they use free speech to condemn free speech.
And they use the platform for free speech to tell him he doesn't have it.
But of course, they do.
(35:36):
And they took advantage of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, again, I know you've heard me say this so many times, especially
when I'm dealing with that whole liberal mindset.
This could be a classic Saturday Night Live skit or mad TV skit or something of that nature.
I'm going to start I'm going to come up with my own sitcom, comedy, political sitcom.
(36:01):
And all I'm going to do is take, well, posts like this and turn it into an episode.
Tune into next week for Elon Musk, X and free speech.
Anyways, so so so it goes on to say Musk fired back with a response aimed directly at Brenton
(36:23):
Brenton's post on X where Brenton posted the letter.
He says, to be honest, I really wanted to respond with this Tropic Thunder meme, but
I would never do something so rude and irresponsible.
Musk wrote the meme, I guess is from Tropic Thunder.
(36:46):
And that shows I believe that's Tom Cruise with a bald makeup, making him look bald.
Anyways, it says this, I'm not going to read the whole thing because I don't use this kind
of language, but I'll do my best to get as close to I can so you get the gist of it without
actually hearing it completely.
(37:06):
But so if you could picture this scene from Tropic Thunder of Tom Cruise with a bald makeup
head on, you know, kind of looking like a little bit older and bald.
And it says this, take a big step back and literally F your own face.
Now again, I don't like swearing at all.
I don't.
(37:27):
And this is one of those areas that me and Elon Musk would have a huge problem with.
But honestly, ladies and gentlemen, the principle, I will say that that way, I totally agree
with that.
The European Union, this nut job in the European Union is going to use the platform X owned
(37:48):
by Elon Musk for free speech.
It's going to use that same platform to threaten Elon Musk to not exercise free speech.
Yet they wanted to exercise their freedom of speech in throwing out this threat to Elon
Musk over his use of free speech.
(38:10):
I don't know.
Is that ironic and strange and weird?
I mean, am I reading this correctly?
I'm sorry, but yeah, this is weird.
So I just want to read maybe a couple of these comments because they open these things up
to comments from their listeners or their readers.
And this is from Citizen H.K. Rising Star.
(38:34):
The same type of semper ship is happening here at Google, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook,
MSM and the government.
They do not want you to know the truth, only their truth.
They will punish those who do not follow the narrative.
Free speech is under attack everywhere.
We must push back every time we face it.
The Marxist Democrats want to change the Supreme Court when the court's responsibility is
(38:59):
to enforce our constitution.
They want the filibuster gone so they can have more control over the populace.
The bottom line is fight like hell to maintain our constitution, which I agree.
So ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.
What we're facing here in the United States of America where they're trying to strip us
of our free speech.
(39:19):
I mean, you know, it's funny.
We still have free speech.
As long as that speech agrees with them and doesn't offend the left, then it's OK.
But the moment that it offends them or they don't like it, oh, take it away.
Censor it.
You can't do that.
You know, and that's free speech is no longer free anymore.
It has to agree with the liberals.
(39:40):
It has to make them feel good.
Has to stroke their ego.
You know, that's why if you say, oh, I'm all for the LGBT alphabet grew, they're like,
yeah, we applaud you.
Free speech.
See, that's free speech.
The next guy comes along and says, no, I totally disagree with it.
It's perversion is gross.
Oh, look at that.
It's hate speech.
We must find him.
We must arrest him.
(40:01):
We must throw him behind bars.
He must never be able to speak like that again.
And it's happening here.
It's certainly happening in the EU.
It's happening in Great Britain and it's starting to happen here.
So ladies and gentlemen, what do we do?
We've got to fight back.
We have to fight back.
Anyways, so we have we covered a lot of different things and told you a little bit about what's
(40:23):
going on in my church.
We gave you some great plugs for some great restaurants in the AV, two of them.
But please go check out this buffet at La Papillon and Lancaster Boulevard and told
you how the church was coming along.
And we talked about what's going on with Elon Musk and the European Union.
This is going to be something fun to kind of watch to see how it plays out because I
(40:46):
don't see that Elon Musk is one to back down.
You know, I saw a little joke meme recently that says Elon Musk just bought England.
And now he's straightened them all out.
So they came against him.
So he just bought the whole place.
So, hey, European Union, be careful.
(41:07):
He might just buy you out and fire all of you the way he did.
What was it?
Twitter.
I really wish Elon Musk would buy Google.
Google is wicked, man.
Anyways, so God bless you all.
I really hope to see you all soon.
Come and check us out here at Greater Worse Christian Church, a no-nonsense church that
(41:30):
is growing and moving forward and looking more and more and more beautiful each and
every day.
God bless you.
I will see you all soon.
