Speaker 3 (02:24):
Now what's going on?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Keith were gonna.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I was wondering what we were going to talk about
Jim Comy.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Oh, what can you say about Jim Kobey That got
a well scripted word in the bathroom wall camp. Jim
Cooley is the Jim Comy is the poster child for
everything that is wrong in this country. And when I

(02:58):
say this country, I mean starting with government. Yeah, because
you have a group of people on both sides of
the aisle that believe that they know best and the
rules don't apply to them. Yeah, you have such a
separation of virtue and morality from folks at the highest

(03:21):
levels of leadership in politics, in the bureaucracy that they
they believe their own internal virtue signaling is enough and
that they're willing to do anything to keep and maintain power.
And I really think it goes back to a root

(03:41):
of Marxism and socialism and what they're authoritarianism. Ye, you've
seen the rise of the radical left, but the radical
left is just it's just the unruly stepchild of the
globalist elete of what we call the House of Clinton,

(04:03):
the House of Obama. These folks that want to keep
and maintain power and all cost them. The way they
do that is to keep the masses or the populace
in a perpetual state of chaos and division. And Komi
really pushed that and he he was dishonest, he was immoral,

(04:28):
and I'm not saying this about him, I'm describing his actions.
And we saw it as a nation. Oh yeah, and
he's not someone that has any kind of virtue like
the Founders talked about and on our nation I think
probably late sixties, early seventies, we started this. We started

(04:49):
down a path of forgetting who we were in our
identity as far as having morals and virtue. Remember the
moral majority old enough to remember that. Yeah, and we
the church. I really feel like drop the ball in
this one because the Church decided to redefine the word

(05:09):
love as a tritten in the Bible. Because the word
love means my highest good for you in the Bible,
and I mean there's really actually four definitions, but overall,
especially when Christ talked about it. But what we found
is we had the church decided that they were no
longer going to love the way Christ loved, but they

(05:32):
substituted it for I believe, just a demonic word called tolerance. Yeah,
And when you tolerate something because you don't want to
feel uncomfortable. You tolerate something because you're afraid to have
that confrontation. You tolerate something because you want to be light.
And it's not these aren't. They talked about it like

(05:57):
tolerance was Christian principles. No, it wasn't tolerance. When Jesus
fashioned the rope a whip and drove the money changers
out of the synagogue, that wasn't tolerance. It wasn't tolerance.
When Jesus said one of his most beloved disciples, Peter,
he said, get behind me, Satan. Now, it was actually
love because he knew at that second Peter was being

(06:18):
influenced and he wanted to snap him back into reality. Right.
And so I believe the church, and I lay this
at the feet of the church. Because the Church all
of a sudden decided that they would eat from that
tree of the knowledge of good and evil, And so
they became more tolerant. They didn't want to offend anyone

(06:38):
so they could get everyone to come through their doors.
It stopped being a message of truth grounded in the
word of God, and became a message of tolerance. Grounded
in larger buildings, bigger budgets. I want to reach more people,
but you're reaching people for what And once they understand

(07:02):
who God is, what do they do with their lives?
How does it change your life? And so you lost
this moral high ground that our founders understood and had,
and our founders all talked about it. The Christian the
Judeo Christian faith was the foundation of this nation. You
can't read the federalist papers, the Constitution, multiple letters from Jefferson, Franklin,

(07:30):
At Adams, all of these guys, John Henry, you know,
all of them saying, you know, if summon it up.
They said, if we stay a moral nation, then we'll
stay a constitutional republic. But if we drift from the
virtue of a moral nation. I think it was John
Adams that said this, we will no more keep our
constitutional republic than the net can pull a whale. You know,

(07:54):
it's just going to tear straight through. And what we're
seeing is it tears straight through by people that decide
that the Kingdom of God is not where they want
to be. They want the Kingdom of man right. And
so whenever you build something with God, God maintains it,
you build this nation on biblical principles. They're maintained by

(08:14):
the laws and word of God. When you build something
with man, you have to maintain it in man's abilities.
And you can look throughout the arc of history. Man
doesn't do a good job of governing himself without God. Period.
You show me one example, and you get those examples

(08:35):
from I call it the isms socialism, communism, authoritarianism.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
And so.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
What happens is the Bible describes this change in society.
It says when people throw off a God, when they
throw off their morals, the it basically says, they rage
and they rebel. And so what you have is you

(09:08):
have when you have division like Comy sums. When you
have him come out and state a beautiful, succinct and
accurate case against Hillary Clinton. He comes out and says, hey,
look she did all this. We got her. And then
he says, but I have chosen not to pursue. See,

(09:31):
the Department of Justice should be blind, but instead it
has a handicap sticker and has to park in the
very front and be carried into the room because it
is not done anything. And so the American and when
he did that, he did twofold things one, he was

(09:51):
trying to put an issue to bed so she could
run for president yeh. And two it was designed to
demoralize as your as. Manav, the former KGB guy that
defected to Canada, talked about demoralized society meaning people just
realize why even try right because at the highest levels

(10:12):
of government we're not seeing justice. What we're seeing is
selective prosecution. We're seeing people get away with things. And
so they want you to feel helpless. They want you
to feel like you're unmoored. And now, if you have

(10:32):
a strong faith, a strong identity in Christ. Good example,
my friend Charlie Kirk. Charlie had a grounding. You could
not be around Charlie and not be affected. Not because
Charlie was the Second Coming, but because Charlie was sold
out to Christ and he had such He was the message.

(10:55):
He didn't just say the message, he was the message.
He brought light into a room. When someone's walking with
God and they walk into a room, they become in
Charlie and I'm saying this because Charlie was this. They
become a mirror to everyone else. They're going to reflect
who you are. Not because of who they are, but

(11:16):
because of who they serve, and who they're sold out to.
I'm talking about God. So Charlie was never rude, he
was never ugly, he was never didn't treat people poorly,
just the opposite. I mean Charlie's videos and you there's
a gazillion out on social media. He had a grace

(11:38):
about him that was supernatural, meaning it didn't come from him.
Charlie had the Holy Spirit and they talked about that
at his funeral. That is memorial. And so when you
have that kind of internal peace and countenance and you
walk into a room, you're gonna get one of two reactions.
People are either going to be drawn to that because

(12:00):
they want what's giving you that piece, or it creates
a mirror and shows them exactly who they are, and
they're either going to realize I'm I'm lacking and want that,
or I'm there or I don't want anything to do
with that. So that's why when you see Charlie literally
walk into a room, people would start screaming and yelling

(12:22):
Nazi Pitler, which is interesting. I'll just digress a little bit.
The word Nazi. Do you know what it stands for?
No Nationalists, Socialist Workers Party, Max Okay, So anytime you
call someone a Nazi, you're calling him a socialist, and
the self described socialists on their own taglines, you're calling

(12:44):
someone that thought a socialist in Nazis. Yeah, and they again.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
I always thought this. I always thought, what cow, It's
so antithetical to my brain to be called a Nazi
and a fascist when that is not at all what
what believing in America is about?

Speaker 1 (13:06):
It all?

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Don't understand. I don't understand how the tagline sticks.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
So you go back to the Word of God. It says,
when this happens in the in the people rage, they
call good bad and bad good. In the word for
that is iniquity. So they fall into iniquity where they
call good bad and bad good. Now where do we
have that today? Everywhere? Reproductive health Here they're talking about
killing babies good bad, bad good, gender affirmation where you

(13:37):
change the sex of a child before they even know
who they are in their identity good, bad, bad, good
virtue signaling without virtue. We have politicians making laws that
do not have the virtue and morals to keep the laws.
They may I e. Look at their stock picks. I

(13:58):
mean you want to, I can go down rabbit hole.
But the thing is this, you have clarity in the
Word of God, the Bible. Charlie knew that. So when
Charlie walked in, a presence came with Charlie, and a
young man who lived a mere thirty one years will
be remembered throughout history, not because of what he said,

(14:22):
but because of who he was. And that makes your
message carry an amazing, almost supernatural weight, because it is
what drives you internally. You had a couple others I
can name in history. You had Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was
killed in Germany. We still read his writings today from prison,

(14:44):
some of the most brilliant writings I've ever read. You
also have Oswald Chambers, great theologian that was died in
his forties from complications of appendicitis. Yet my utmost for
his highest is one of his red bite because people
are still one of the most Penny I read it
every day devotionals. So you have men that change history

(15:09):
not because of what they just say, but because of
who they are. And those are the men that are remembered.
You know, guys like whom he won't be remembered.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
And you've been listening to Kuka Juris School, Texas Corpus
Christie's retro country radio station one O five nine one
O three three are on the app retro radio scene.
You've got the Morning Wave with Debbie Morgan and doctor
Keith Rose, who I always love having on. You're always now,
You're You're wonderful. She does love having I do.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
She loves you. You can go back to Charlie the memorial. Yeah, okay,
the guy that shot Charlie. Yeah, all right, I'll just
tell you that wasn't the guy. Sorry, I know, alas
everyone wants to believe it, and I'm you know, whatever,
But whoever shot Charlie, let's just say that that's the guy.

(16:07):
He didn't kill Charlie. He killed the progressive movement, not
because of taking Charlie out, but whoever or shot Charlie.
What happened after that? The vitriol, the taking the mask

(16:27):
off of the radical left, I don't think worked out
the way they thought it was going to work out.
I don't think so either, because I do believe that
whoever was behind this wanted to divide the nation and
they thought, okay, we'll get those guys raging now. When
George Floyd died, you had massive riots, mostly peaceful, with

(16:50):
the billions in damage and a lot of deaths. When
you have any great when you had Rodney King when
he was killed, you had right massive, or when he's beaten,
I'm sorry, you have massive. Charlie Kirk is killed and
you have revival breakout. You have people going to church

(17:13):
that never went to church. Our church the week after
Charlie died was as crowded as I've ever seen. And
that's not a one off. I've heard that all over
the country. Because what happened is it revealed who the
left is right now. Now. There are a few people,
not many, probably count them on one hand, from the
radical left that realized, hey, this is not a good thing,

(17:36):
and they said such, and I give them credit. I
hope they can continue. I doubt they will, but I
hope they can continue to say that. But it showed
the left as being unhinged, violent and antithetical to the
values we hold as Americans. You have a lot of
politicians that say this is not who we are as Americans,

(17:59):
and Obama loved to say that The problem with that
is the same group of politicians in their party, the
radical left, have tried to erase history, so we don't
know who they are, who we are as American.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Well, and that's what I was gonna I mean, really,
that's the crux for me right now is you have
probably two generations that really don't know whole America is,
where we came from, what we're built on, what we
stand for, because they've been taught all this garbage and

(18:39):
it is it's things that it's somebody else's truth.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
It's not the truth that you just nailed it. You
just nailed where we are as a nation. See. That's
and that goes back to that evil word that we
substituted for love called tolerance.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Right.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Tolerance says you have your truth, I have money truth.
Life says, look, this is the truth, right and the truth.
The Greek word in the New Testament for truth is althea,
which means a translated reality. And that's why I always
go back to the Bible, because the Bible has hard

(19:24):
and fat truth that have shown to be accurate and
true in reality throughout time. Right, give you a good example.
The word in Bible in the in the Old the
word to be blessed in the in the Bible means
it's a father. It's in the picture word the Paleo

(19:44):
Hebrew is a father placing his hand on the child,
the father blessing the child. Now why is that important?
Because the entire theme of the Bible is father wants
a family, right and how important the family is. Now,
hang with me, I'm like, this is why this is

(20:05):
so important for truth when you don't have a strong
father blessing raising the children. In truth, my father disciplined
me very harshly because I deserved it, I needed it.
I could not have loved a single human being more

(20:27):
than my father. I just couldn't. When he disciplined me,
I knew that he loved me because he wanted my
highest good and not let me grow up to be
an ascalown in this world. So in the Bible talks
about having a father, honoring your parents. So where do

(20:49):
you find us now when we're the most broken we've
ever been as a nation. The number one thing we
started doing is driving the father out of the home.
It started with the Great Society.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yes, started in the sixties.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
You want to know why the number one common denominator
of everyone in prison men and women. Yes, it's not color. No,
it's not socioeconomic status. The number one. The only overwhelming
you finding characteristic is a lack of a father in
the home. I agree. So you have people on the

(21:20):
left trying to emasculate men, trying to trans them, driving
the father out. Do you have governments telling parents you
don't have the right to your kids will raise them?
And that is evil. That's why in the Bible and
the Book of malachiats well. I think one more point.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
I think that you had government in the sixties say
you don't need a man, you don't need a man,
will be the man for you.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Don't worry about it. You don't need that guy.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
But see but see again.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
But that's my point.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
But you're breaking the design right, your purpose and design
right of.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
God's purpose and design right. This is what we're taught
that the family is is the basis.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
The family is the basis, and the father in Hebrew
means restrainer, mother in Hebrew means nurture, nur right, and
the word for anger, the Paleo Hebrew word for anger
is where is the father? So what you have as father,
the restrainer, mother, work, nurturing. Now God, the father gave

(22:35):
us his only son to reunite the world, to reconcile
the world back to him. He called Jesus the second
atom we had Adam. Adam fell. Yeah, and so Satan.
The one thing he hates is to get. He hates
the because we're made in the image of God. He
doesn't like that. He wants to distort that image. He

(22:56):
can do it through never letting you be born, abortion
right TRANSI driving the father out where you get. You
don't have that restraint, and when you cast off restraint
is when problems begin. So fast forward to where we
are now as a nation. We have a lot of
division because we don't have truth. We have what people

(23:19):
call your truth true and that's not love. That's tolerance.
And there's nothing tolerant about it. I mean, there's nothing
loving about it. It's tolerance. Is a lot of these churches,
you're like, well, you know, you just do what you want.
That's not love. Love is going you know what, this
is my highest good for you. I love you, and

(23:40):
except you as a person. I don't accept your lifestyle.
I mean, I you that's your choice, right, but I'm
not gonna lift that up because you're destroying yourself. You know,
these kids are the furries that are walking around eating
dog food. That's not when you're tolerant of that. What
you're saying is your mental illness is okay with me, Yes,

(24:03):
that and that's okay, It's not.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Where and where does that stop? Does it stop when
you're you're molesting children? Because we're like that, You know
what I'm.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's it's there's no no love then it it's tolerance
gets us to where we are now. It gets you
a James Comy R. Tolerance gets you a Joe Biden.
And you've got to realize something. We're not fighting each other.
We're fighting what the Bible says, dark forces, demons and

(24:36):
higher dark powers and principalities. We're fighting even though and
if you don't believe that, look at where you are now.
Look at what happened. Someone killed one of the most moral,
righteous men that I know, way better than I was
at thirty one. I was a hot mess. I mean
I know, I know, and and and so what that
did is it shined a spotlight not on the nation,

(24:59):
but in side everyone's heart, and it made them look
at not what was going on, but who they were.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
So do you. You know all these church shootings, all these
killing of children, you know at at church school of
the one over the weekend in in Glen Blanc, Michigan,
the Church of the Latter day Saints, these guys Latter
day Saints where they killed four.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
There's there's going to be more. Again, evil, it all
doesn't have a dollar. You can't explain evil unless you
understand God, and you understand that people do evil because
it's evil.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
But this is what I'm saying. You can see the
evil attacking the good in their actions. I mean, the
fact that we're targeting churches and children is how can
that not how can somebody not look at that and
say that is evil because they've had where's no tolerance?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Okay again that's tolerance. Wait, you got to realize that
is tolerance. What they don't wear their love, their love
would call it out. They The problem this all happened
is the church put in tolerance and it was more
like this, the Nila way of religion. I love you,

(26:24):
you love me. And then they start, you know, not
teaching the whole Bible where sin is a big part
of it. Right, the beauty of the Christian faith is look,
I was the biggest sinner in the world. I was terrible.
But you can confess your sins. You can repent from them,
which means to burn the house I lived and turn away,

(26:45):
and then you make restitution, and then you become redeemed.
When you accept Jesus. That's a free gift. You can't
burn that. Anyone can get it. It's a free gift.
But when you accept it and Christ comes into your life,
you have something what the Bible taught about. He gives
you the Holy Spirit, which allows you to turn away
from your past life that was killing you. All these

(27:09):
things that you do to mark your body, to kill
a baby, to hurt another human being, these are killing you.
They're killing the family. You can't reproduce you if you
change yourself and can't. You can't reproduce the population if
you're killing babies. You can't. And and God has a

(27:32):
lot of grace for the person that he hates the sin.
You can love the person and still not tolerate or
love the sin. And so you come before God and
he will change that heart posture inside you. Charlie got that.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
That was my Bible verse today. Ezekiel, you know your
heart of stone I'm going to soften it and from
him inside out. This is the entire gist of this
podcast today or radio.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
If all the isms hold you together from the outside.
In communism, yes, pulls it together through force. Socialism holds
it together through other people's money. They're they're, they're you know,
communism is just socialism with an AK forty seven. And

(28:26):
even capitalism while it's a meritocracy, which is what the
Bible is. Right, if you have crony capitalism, you become
become amored from morals in virtue. That doesn't work too
and it's all shakable, right capitalism. Wait, when Eisenhower was president,
something happened in the stock market in one day, dropped

(28:50):
four billion dollars back then was a lot of money.
Today it's like thirty seconds of our economy. And so
capitalism was shakable when the wall fell Russia, I mean,
when communism fell, Russia fell apart, it was shakeable. And
my socialism always fails because you run out of other
people's money.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, So Margaret Thatcher told us that didn't she she did.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
But the thing is this, everything has a beginning and
an end, except a kingdom of God. I was gonna say,
except God, the Kingdom of God. That's what Jesus preached
about when he rose again. He spent forty days preaching
nothing but the Kingdom of God. Not ethereal I got
go there when I died, But here now, Thy Kingdom come,

(29:35):
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
And going back to why family and fathers are so important,
think about this. When the disciples were asking Jesus how
do we pray? How did he start it out? He said,
our Father that is in heaven hollowed be thy name,
which means God is good. We have a good Dad.
Thy kingdom come, I will be done on earth as

(30:01):
it is in heaven. So as Christ followers and believers,
we are to build his kingdom here. And Charlie knew that. Yes,
And when Charlie entered a room, he had a kingdom
optic and mentality. The only reason I can keep my
sanity working in and out of DC and doing what
I do is that I don't see it as man's

(30:24):
kingdom because that would drive me crazy, right, I see
it as God's kingdom. I don't. And I think this
is where the church really had the biggest problem. The
reason we went into tolerance. And this is the most
important thing I'll probably say this morning. It's just hit me.
Is we lost the fear of the Lord of God? Yes?

(30:45):
We did. So they're like, well, i'll tolerate this instead
of recognizing that that could lead that person to eternal damnation.
And the guy that created me created them. And I
fear the guy that created me in the most reverent
way and love him. And since I love this person,
I'm gonna speak truth. I may hurt them, but I
won't harm them. You're gonna harm with powerance, I'll give you.

(31:08):
I'm a surgeon, I'm a physician. If a doctor had
someone coming in, this is what I see powerance ays,
and they were dying about horrible cancer. But the doctor
just didn't want the patient to worry about it, right,
You wanted him to be happy for the time they
have here, instead of saying, look, you've got a really
bad cancer. These are your treatment options and they may

(31:28):
really hurt you. They're not fun, but it's your only
chance to live. But the doctor's like, but if I
tell him that, he's going to be mad at me, right,
he's not gonna want to come back and see me.
I would rather be light than speak truth, right, because
I'm not so concerned about what's going to happen to
this person. I'm more concerned about how he sees me

(31:50):
and how it will affect my life, which is centered
self righteousness and self awareness. And I don't have right awareness.
But when you have Christ awareness, you go, Okay, I
see someone doing this, I'm gonna love the person. I'm
not rejecting the person, but I'm gonna point out what's

(32:10):
killing them, and I'm gonna have the conviction to do that.
They may not like it, but if the Holy Spirit
moves in their conscience and stirs it, it might bring
them to understanding that only God can give them that
brings them to repentance and life. And so their eternal
soul is more important than my present comfort. But we

(32:36):
have lost that in the church. Yes, I agree with that.
I agree. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
This versus, I will give you a new heart and
put a new spirit in you. I'll remove you from
your hearness stone and give you a horn of flesh.
It reminds us that of God's power to transform us
from the inside out. A harness stone is hardened and resistant,
but God promises to replace it with a tender, responsive
heart that's open to him through his spirit, humor, news,

(33:02):
or desires, making us more compassionate, loving, and obedient.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
It meant, now what you just describes, what we talked about.
That's what I'm saying, go to the look. Keith Rose
cannot be nice to people. Before Keith Rose could not
be not selfish before I became saved. Once I realized
who God was, and more importantly, who I wasn't at
forty five years old, I realized kind of that was

(33:31):
just being a doctor, sir no. I realized Christ came in.
So I my heart is soft because it's not my heart,
it's Christ right. Right. I can forgive, not because I
can forgive, but Christ forgives. I can have love for
people that will mock me, hurt me, sayingly things about
me because Christ can. The interesting thing is in the

(33:54):
Old Testament we had the Ten Commandments, which was some
moral law. Right in the New Testament, Christ King he
gave us the Attitudes, a sermon on the Mountain, which
is the heart posture and the moral law. A lot
of people do moral things but don't have a moral heart.
That's why you can hear someone say the exact same
words of Charlie Kirk, but they don't have the same effect.

(34:16):
They don't mean anything. You don't have the projection of
what you call the spirit, the Holy Spirit in your heart.
And if you don't believe me, listen to Charlie Kirk's memorial.
I listened to five and a half hours hours and
every single person said Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, even people
that maybe their speech writers wrote it, but they said
it because they all saw it well.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
The fact that his wife, Erica stood there.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
And forgave.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
I mean, what a powerful moment. And you know she
did it, you know, and you know that it.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Was truthful, it was it came from her heart, her heart.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
And that's the thing is, if you want to change
the world, you got to let your heart be changed first.
Because we've been going through a difficult season, my family has,
and we've had a lot of things happen. But the
thing is we've grown through this season because of our
heart posture and who lives there, not because of who
we are, because we would absolutely disintegrate if we didn't

(35:29):
have God. Look, you have two choices in this life.
You have the way the truth, the life, the faith,
and know who God is, know who you're not, or
you're gonna eat from that tree of the Knowledge of
good and bad, which means you decide what's good and
what's bad. And the best way to give context for

(35:51):
that is when God created man the first atom, he
just created him. I mean, he had perfect relationship with God.
He had The Bible says that over the land, the sea,
the fish, the birds of the air, of the animals.
He had demand over everything. He could do anything he
wanted except eat from one train, the Tree of the

(36:12):
Knowledge of good and bad. So you know the story
when Man fell and ate from that tree. At that moment,
man had dominion for the first time over himself, but
nothing else. He had dominion over his own life. He

(36:35):
decided what was good and mad, but he lost dominion
over everything else. And so the whole Bible is man's
journey back to God. And it starts with the Father
and what I was going to tell you in the
book of Malachi, which means Messenger, it's the last book
in the Old Testament. It's truly fascinating. Man has gone

(36:58):
through this terrible, sinful period. God has in his prophets,
and in the last paragraph it says, I will send
you someone with the spirit of Elijah that will turn
the hearts of fathers to sons and too children and
children to the father, and you'll save them. You'll save

(37:19):
the world. Otherwise you will live under the last word purse.
So when Christ came, you had to if you had
to have John the Baptist, who prepared the way he
went and preached repentance, restitution. He wore camel's hair and
ate locus locus represented what the culture the curse. And

(37:43):
he was one that baptized Jesus. And the interesting thing,
and this is recorded in history and in other libraries,
even not Christian libraries. When John the Baptist baptized Jesus,
we don't know anything about him. He had never preached
a sermon, he had never performed a miracle. At this
point history, John baptizes him and then Heaven's open up

(38:05):
and God the Father says, this is my son in
whom I am well pleased. And this is for everyone
out there that may not have a father, that for
whatever reason, didn't have that leadership in their life. When
you have Jesus in your heart, God was saying you
don't work succept for acceptance. You work from acceptance. And

(38:32):
a lot of people don't feel accepted. And when you
don't feel accepted, you rebel. And when you rebel, I
mean you become a victim when you don't feel accepted,
And when you become a victim, it gives you the
right to rebel. And that's where we are right now. Okay,
we got four minutes Joey kur assassination. Theoretically, it could

(38:55):
have been someone else. Theoretically. A lot of stuff you're
seeing on social media is a coordinated cell of cyber
people that are going to try to drive you towards
a narrative that they like. But what you can know
is true is that the radical left has revealed who
they are, not in the shooting, but in the aftermath.

(39:18):
And you have people celebrating the death of someone. And
I absolutely believe that employers have every right to fire
those people. Absolutely, But I do not think Bondi got
it right. You don't make a law against quote hate speech.
You make societal norms that reject hate speech. You make

(39:39):
a law against the incitement of violence, right, And there's
two different things, And she didn't make the distinction, So
you don't. But what you do, what I do support
is if it's bad for your business, you have the
right to let someone go who celebrates the murder of
another person. That's reprehensible in a moral society. In a
moral society would deal with that person. You don't need

(40:03):
a law to deal with that person. Now you can
make a law for incitement of eyolence. No one has
the right to. But you also don't want someone going
to the hospital and attorney point TPUs a T shirt
worried if they're going to get treatment or not because
someone in there was celebrating the death of So you
have the right as an employer, and I think you

(40:23):
have the moral obligation to discipline and employee that is
celebrating something that will affect your business as an employer,
I can say that, but you do not have That's
not discrimination, that's discernment. But again, until we have I'll
bring it all back. Until we have the heart of
a father and father's leading, and you don't. If you

(40:45):
don't have a father, God will provide you on You
have God the father and needs and until you step
into your purpose and your identity you're gonna have the vision,
You're gonna have chaos. But look at the the way
the world has united when Charly passed, and look at
the way Charlie was a true martyr. Yeah, he died
for what he believed. Charlie was at the top of

(41:08):
that ladder going over the wall, and a lot of
people are at the bottom cheeringeym on and guess what
it's your eternity to scale that water.
