Does anyone in the media actually hear themselves? 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,280 Story number two? Senator Tom Tillis worships a false temple 5 00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:19,640 and in a false temple often. And story number three 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,879 if you suck at singing. Even if you do suck 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,719 at it, God still wants to hear you. Wait. That 8 00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:27,920 means me too. I used to be able to sing. 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,879 We were just talking about that. We'll discuss all of 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,039 this with the help of Visible. If you're a small 11 00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:36,719 to medium sized business owner, there's a secret your bank 12 00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:40,000 does not want you to know about corporate credit, the 13 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,960 real kind that can protect your personal assets.

But big pharma, 17 00:00:56,119 --> 00:01:04,400 technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the hind mountains of Free America. 18 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:11,239 Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 20 00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:23,280 are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 21 00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:27,760 Kristin Welker likes to put herself on display. I mean 22 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:31,920 she's a journalist ish person. She's not. She's an entertainer, 23 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,079 a news info provider, a news food like a cheese food. 24 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,959 You know, the type of cheese who spray on things 25 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,560 like the ron po peel hair. What do they got 26 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,120 the labels messed up and they actually put the spray 27 00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:47,760 on hair and the cheese. And wouldn't eOne know? Would 28 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:52,760 you actually know the difference. Kristen Welker had a concern 29 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,680 about cost related to our military. She was talking with 30 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,439 President Trump, big beautiful parade, a military parade. 31 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:08,039 Speaker 3: Sure, we have the greatest military people. 32 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,759 Speaker 4: Peanuts compared to the value of doing it. We have 33 00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:14,560 the greatest missiles in the world, we have the greatest 34 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,319 submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks 35 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,039 in the world. We have the greatest weapons in the world, 36 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,759 and we're going to celebrate it. 37 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,199 Speaker 1: That's a fascinating question for journalists to ask, and it's 38 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,319 a good question for a journalist to ask or a 39 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,560 news food provider. It's not a question they ask only 40 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:37,319 what it has to do with our military. And we 41 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,280 could prove this with one tiny little square of a tweet. 42 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,080 And we'll do that in a second look, I can 43 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,479 say I get torn on the topic of a big 44 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,639 military parade because it brings to mind in North Korea 45 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,919 and Russia. But we are in North Korea, Russia were 46 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,560 the United States of America. I think President Trump legitimately 47 00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:58,360 loves our troops. I think he legitimately wants to honor them. 48 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,000 And since the military has been so honored by the 49 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,800 previous people who ran Joe Biden, time to do that, 50 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,680 you know, I would honor anyone who's served, particularly people 51 00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,879 like my friend Tim Kroukshank, founder and CEO Bone Frog Coffee. 52 00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:14,879 Tim was a three time it was a Navy seal 53 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:17,520 three times deployed on our behalf as a medic to 54 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,080 the seal teams, so not only seeing combat, but going 55 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,159 in helping his fallen seal buddies, comrades friends. That's why 56 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:28,719 it's called bone Frog. If you look at the bag, 57 00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:31,400 there is an image of a fallen frog. That's a 58 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,919 frogman down. That's what it means to Tim. When you 59 00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:38,319 purchase Bone Frog, ten percent of proceeds go to the 60 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,879 Navy Seal Foundation. And that's all a great story. But 61 00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:44,159 what about the coffee. Well, Tim didn't know how to 62 00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,240 make coffee, so he hooked up with a coffee mentor 63 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,000 guy named Dave Stewart. Dave has a bit of a resume. 64 00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:52,919 He started Seattle's Best Coffee, which became so good and 65 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,800 so successful that Starbucks was forced to purchase it. It's 66 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,719 still better coffee. By the way. He mentors Tim's team. 67 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:01,560 He even makes some of the hosts so go and 68 00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:04,840 honor the military this way with great coffee. It's Bonefrog 69 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,400 Coffee dot com Sace Todd used promo code Tide to 70 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,800 get temper sent off all their products fifteen percent off 71 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,479 subscription coffee. What will it cost? That's an interesting question 72 00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:18,160 for a news food provider. And here, in one tiny 73 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,360 square ish maybe a rectangular, little tweet, we have from 74 00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:28,319 doze AI. Department of Education budget exploded one hundred and 75 00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:31,240 fifty seven percent to two hundred and sixty eight point 76 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,240 four billion dollars zero improvement and outcomes. Five hundred and 77 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,360 twenty one billion dollars lost yearly to government fraud, pel 78 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:45,399 grant scams rampant. California colleges alone lost five million dollars 79 00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:49,040 plus two bots. One in four applicants were fake. One 80 00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:54,000 point seven trillion dollars student loan debt proves bureaucrats failed, 81 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,199 disserved the Department of Education returned power to the states. 82 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,639 What does it cost? What does illegal immigration cost? What 83 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,519 did shutting down one third of our nation's economy costs? 84 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,439 No one cared. But when it comes to a military parade, 85 00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,279 Oh yeah, we've got to make sure we talk about 86 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,319 costs there. We are also conturned to a your dear 87 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,319 friends the New York Times to look at this from 88 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,079 a different perspective. New York Times reporter Eric Lipton talking 89 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,759 about a scale we've never seen before United States, a 90 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,240 scale of what, oh corruption, Now, pay careful attention. It's 91 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:40,399 corruption like we've never seen, not even you know, like 92 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:41,600 a year and a half ago. 93 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,759 Speaker 3: Let me begin with your union colleagues, publish a major 94 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,279 investigation this week in The New York Times, where you 95 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,120 conclude these are your awards. The firm, largely owned by 96 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,160 a Trump family corporate entity, has a rased centuries old 97 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,240 presidential norms, viscerating the boundary between private enterprise and government 98 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:00,720 policy and a manner without precedent in modern Amareamerican history? 99 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,040 Break that down? What are the major questions of potential 100 00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:05,879 corruption and conflicts of interest. 101 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: So of course that question is coming from George Stephanopolis. 102 00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:12,399 And there was a famous article that is so so 103 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,680 well hidden by the Google machines and just disappeared, and 104 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:17,759 it was I think it was called the seventeen year 105 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,199 Conference Call. That's George Stephanopolis while working at NBC or 106 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,399 put me ABC. We're still having phone calls with Democrat 107 00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:30,040 bosses to advise them on messaging, and they're talking here 108 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,519 about crypto And we're going to hear the great words 109 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,480 of a New York Times reporter who wants us to 110 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,000 know that this is corruption on a scale we've never 111 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,000 seen before, not even over the past you know, four 112 00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:43,560 years and thirty years before that in the Senate. 113 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,639 Speaker 5: I mean, this is a nation that we've always had 114 00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:49,519 campaign fundraising where people are taking donations, but these donations 115 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,279 are going to their political causes. What we've never seen 116 00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:55,120 before at this scale in modern American history, or really 117 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,000 in American history overall. As a president who is effectively, 118 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,360 through his sons, owns businesses that are personally profiting off 119 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,040 of regulatory decisions that he's making, and the conflicts of 120 00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:10,160 interest here are just you know, the word, we don't 121 00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:13,759 like to use too much in Washington among reporters is unprecedented, 122 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,639 But these truly are unprecedented. And he is, you know, 123 00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:19,480 appointing the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission at 124 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,079 the same time as the sec is shutting down investigations 125 00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:25,319 of some of his business partners. He pardons a crypto 126 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,319 executive named Arthur Hayes, who is an investor in one 127 00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:31,800 of the companies that's partnered with with World Liberty Financial. 128 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,040 He's offering two hundred and twenty people the right to 129 00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:37,600 come and have dinner with him at his golf course 130 00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:39,279 in Virginia at the. 131 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: Same unprecedented, not in any way unprecedented. Of course, we 132 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,759 could simply turn to the Biden crime family. President Trump 133 00:07:54,839 --> 00:07:57,360 is president, his family gets to be involved in business. 134 00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:00,560 I think the crypto coin is a bad look. I 135 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,399 think the Trump coin is a bad look. I said 136 00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:05,519 it a long time ago. It's a bad look. But 137 00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:11,000 the pretense that this is unprecedented, please go and look 138 00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:16,040 up the net worth of the Obamas, Please go find 139 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,920 the product they created, or better yet, the Biden family, 140 00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:23,000 and they're fifty billion, or pardon me, fifty million dollars. 141 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,199 Do they hear themselves. Does anybody in the media hear themselves? 142 00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:31,759 Christian Walker, what will it cost a lot less than 143 00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,559 the Department of Education? Fraud? This guy. We've never seen 144 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,600 the son of a president benefit from any decisions made 145 00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:45,399 in office before. Do you hear yourselves? Story number two? 146 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,600 So Senator Tom Tillis is a well I was gonna 147 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,960 say Republican. No, that's fair. He's a professional Republican. He'll 148 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,559 do whatever the Republican Party wants done, or more specifically, 149 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,720 what is ow want done. He's from North Carolina, which 150 00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:05,159 is a pretty conservative state, and he's not going to 151 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,679 confirm He says he's not going to vote to confirm 152 00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:12,159 Ed Martin. This is President's Trump's choice to be the 153 00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:15,639 US attorney for the district courts in Washington, d C. 154 00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:19,759 In and around Washington, d C. So he has his reasons. 155 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,320 I want you to hear his reasons out of fairness. 156 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,919 He explains this that these are really, really, really tight 157 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,919 principles for Tom Tillis, because you know what he you 158 00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:31,720 know what, he's law and order. He is law and order. 159 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,559 He will not abide anything that's not law and order. 160 00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 6: He is I don't believe he's been in advanced to 161 00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:42,120 the markup and I'm met with mister Martin. He seems 162 00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:46,120 like a good man. Most of my concerns related to 163 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,759 January sixth, and he built a compelling case on some 164 00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:55,080 of the fifteen twelve prosecutions that were probably heat of 165 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,559 the moment, bad decisions. But where we probably have a 166 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,360 difference is I think anybody that breached the perimeter should 167 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,080 have been in prison for some period of time, Whether 168 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,639 thirty days or three years is debatable. But I have 169 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,600 no tolerance for anybody who entered the building on January 170 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,279 the sixth. 171 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: So who entered his temple, That's what he's saying. I 172 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:20,519 believe God has worked through President Trump to show the 173 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:25,879 nation that that's a temple to them. Some trust in 174 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,519 charits and horses, others in every word that proceeds from 175 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,120 the mouth of God. And that man is saying it's 176 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,080 our temple. Well, how could it make such ridiculous claim. Well, 177 00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:41,519 let's see, this guy voted to confirm Merk Garland, who 178 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:48,440 helped engineer a mass invasion of America the entire country. 179 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,960 Merck Garland chose to refuse to enforce immigration law. He 180 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,559 participated in secreting people around the country, but not into temple. 181 00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:08,399 Merrick Garland decided to go after Catholics for doing things 182 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:14,519 like praying in what is the nomenclature women's health facilities 183 00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:22,399 where they're working on women's health by ending forever the 184 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:28,159 health of another. Merrick Garland decided to go after them 185 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:34,720 and imprison them. He never did get around to really 186 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,639 concentrating on those people who bombs and burns health clinics 187 00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:42,519 that help women have babies and then care for the 188 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,879 babies and then get job training and life training, and 189 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,000 never got around to that. But that's a whole different temple. 190 00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:56,000 That's the temple of the Holy Spirit. Now, when you 191 00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:59,120 accept Jesus and you choose to be staved by him 192 00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:02,360 and treat him as your Lord and savior, you in 193 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,519 fact make the body the temple where the Holy Spirit 194 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:12,559 is stored. Now, that's all just religious stuff, and he's 195 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,399 protecting his temple, but he's probably protecting something else that's 196 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,879 more dear to him than even his temple, and that's 197 00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:24,559 his friends and his grift. And I will let Mike 198 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,120 Benz explain that in a second. When you talk about 199 00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:30,159 the temple of the Holy Spirit, the temple in which 200 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,360 the spirit lives when you accept the Lord Jesus is 201 00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:34,919 your Lord and savior. Of course, we're talking about our bodies, 202 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,399 and there's plenty of ways that we've been taught to 203 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,879 care for our bodies. When you're sick, see a doctor. Okay, 204 00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:42,399 let's go through that. Now you go see a doctor, 205 00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:44,480 they talk to an insurance company, and I can play 206 00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:48,440 audio after audio of doctors talking to insurance companies saying, 207 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,000 what do you mean I need to show that this 208 00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:54,600 treatment is necessary. My patient's in surgery. I just walked 209 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,559 out of the surgical room, and you want me to 210 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,240 prove it. Do you want me to take my phone 211 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,840 in and have it sanitized and you can watch the 212 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:03,879 surgery that we're doing now that you approved, and now 213 00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:08,960 you want to unimprove, or you could work with companies 214 00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:13,480 who have divorced themselves from that. But what about the cost. Indeed, 215 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:17,159 what will the cost be If you're someone who's facing 216 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,600 back surgery, those things fail a lot, what's the cost 217 00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:23,120 to that. If you're someone who can't use your hands 218 00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:27,399 anymore for arthritis, what's the cost for that? If they're 219 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,600 saying covered up with pills, what's the cost to that? 220 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,519 To the rest of your body to your liver that 221 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,000 has to process that. What's the cost of your body? If 222 00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:42,639 you've had a neurological just catastrophe, say, became hemispherically paralyzed, 223 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,960 and your doctors have said, well, get a one story 224 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,679 house and invest in a wheelchair, what's the cost to that. 225 00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:54,879 Renewed Healthcare has helped rescue people from all those conditions, 226 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,480 all of them. And I've been down there three times 227 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,799 and I'm headed back with some of my closest friends 228 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:05,159 and in fact business partners to this program. That's how 229 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,320 much I believe. And they're ethically gathered stem cells from 230 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,200 umbilical cords. Go to renew dot Healthcare, it's r E 231 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,600 n ue dot Healthcare. They'll look at your condition, they'll 232 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,960 tell you if they can help, and yes, they will 233 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,720 tell you what it costs, and if it's something you 234 00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,320 can't afford, even given all the dynamics, can just talk 235 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,120 about just tell them that. Now, what's going to make 236 00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:28,240 fun of anybody? It's Renewed r E n ue dot Healthcare. 237 00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:32,279 So as Tom Tillis, who's by the way up for 238 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,919 reelection helow North Carolina. He's up for re election in 239 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,639 twenty twenty six. He is worshiping in this false temple, 240 00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:43,799 completely uncaring about our nation and our bodies, et cetera. 241 00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:46,360 As we just talked about. It's here's something that a 242 00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:50,159 lot of people are not considering. Mike Bens and experts 243 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,279 on cybersecurity and more, people are not appreciating the magnitude 244 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,080 of the Ed Martin situation. The prosecutors on top of 245 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,200 the FBI, he runs all DC criminal investigation. He's the 246 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,559 choke point for DC's worst secrets. If Ed Martin is 247 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,320 blocked and Boseberg pecks Trump two point os momentum is 248 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,279 totally paralyzed. Boseberg, that sounds familiar. Yes, he's a corrupt 249 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:18,120 judge who's trying to enforce an order against President Trump 250 00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:23,399 that the Supreme Court said is invalid. Oh and then 251 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,360 there's just just just one other, just kind of a 252 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,399 knowing thing about Tom Tillis. In addition to Merrick Garlands, 253 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,159 he also voted to confirm Lloyd Austin and Anthony Blincoln 254 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:40,840 and Janet Yellen, all of whom did their very very 255 00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:49,120 best to get rich on our time the false Temple 256 00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:53,159 of Washington, DC. Praise God for tearing the curtain down 257 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,159 so that we can all see it. Story number three. 258 00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:00,559 Even if you suck at singing, God wants to hear 259 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,480 you do it. Yeah, I know, I know. I used 260 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,159 to be able to sing. Did you ever go through 261 00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:07,039 a time where you could sing? I used to sing 262 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,039 all the time, and I could never, like, really carry 263 00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:12,039 a tune organically. I had to memorize it and study it, 264 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,399 and I could only do it when I played my guitar. 265 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:16,519 And if I was really listening to what the root, 266 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,919 what the root note was in the chord, then I 267 00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:20,639 could do it. And I got to a point where 268 00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:23,159 I could harmonize with my dearest friend, my brother. He 269 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,919 taught me how to do that and we could actually 270 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,600 sing well together. And I can't sing anymore, so I 271 00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:30,720 shy away from it, and God tells us to make 272 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,039 a joyful noise onto him. I don't know about you, 273 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,159 but when my daughter used to sing, and even if 274 00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:41,919 it wasn't great, it was my daughter singing, and when 275 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,879 we sang songs together, and I've played that on the 276 00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:47,519 show before. Maybe we'll do that again. I still still 277 00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:50,320 melt emotionally when I watched that. Listen to it, and 278 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,799 I can look at it and say, wow, my guitar 279 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,360 wasn't even in tune. She didn't care. That's how God, 280 00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,600 our Father feels about this. Two forms of worship, sickle worship. 281 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,919 Sometimes they break out organically. Have you ever seen this happen. 282 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,559 I've seen it happen on occasion, and it's one of 283 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:11,400 the most heartwarming things you can ever witness. This happened 284 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:42,960 in New York City. This is a form of worship 285 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,160 that God has called us to engage in. And I'll 286 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,880 tell you something. I do this at youth camp and 287 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,359 there's something about being around young kids as they're having 288 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,480 their mountaintop experience that is to me, it is incredibly 289 00:17:57,519 --> 00:17:59,720 inspiring and it almost drives me to do this. It's 290 00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:02,880 almost like there's something compelling me to get to the 291 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,200 front row with my boys. Is there in the front 292 00:18:05,279 --> 00:18:07,720 row and their hands are up and they're singing and 293 00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:10,720 they're joining arms, and it's almost like there's something compelling me. 294 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,960 There is something compelling me. It's a Holy Spirit saying 295 00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:24,839 let's worship together, let's have joy gratitude. Now, that's not 296 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,359 a way I express myself emotionally. Even when I sang 297 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,200 all the time with my friends, it was art. It 298 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:33,039 had a message right, So many of our songs we 299 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,359 just tortured ourselves with what is message? We should have 300 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,240 just written fun songs. There's other ways, though, that we 301 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,240 use music to honor God. Sometimes it's sad. I'm a 302 00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:48,640 sucker for things that are beautifully sad. And there's a 303 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,240 song written by a guy named Mike Cavanaugh. I don't 304 00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:54,440 know Mike. I've spoke with him briefly online, and God 305 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,319 his permission to play this song. And he wrote it 306 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,519 about a fallen institution. But what makes it so effective 307 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,680 is it's not snarky. I guess it's a little bit snarky, 308 00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:09,079 but he takes something ugly and he makes it beautiful 309 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,160 and sad. I'll show you this in a second, because 310 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,640 details like this truly, truly, truly matter. God gave us 311 00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:19,920 the ability to sing, even if it's not a great noise, 312 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,839 it's joyful. He gave us the ability to express ourselves 313 00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:25,759 through our bodies. We owe it to God to steward 314 00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:28,400 our bodies. God gave us the common blessings of food 315 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359 and water and shelter and sun. And on the topic 316 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,640 of food, we've really destroyed our food system in a 317 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,519 way that makes it difficult sometimes for us to properly 318 00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:43,440 digest foods. Mass Times from Bioptimizers is a product that 319 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,200 focuses on proper digestion of protein. So when you properly 320 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,319 digest protein, you're going to feel far less bloated, which 321 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,359 will help you sleep, will help you be regular, It'll 322 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,519 help you feel better because bloating is really uncomfortable. But 323 00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:02,799 it will do something else. It will help properly steward 324 00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:06,519 the lean muscle you have now, and it may even 325 00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:09,359 make it easier to build muscle because of that proper 326 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,440 breakdown of proteins ind amino acids, which are in fact 327 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,599 the building blocks of muscle. I do this a couple 328 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,759 times a day, and I've noticed the change. My friend 329 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,480 Zach Abraham comes out of my program once a week. 330 00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:23,680 He and his wife have noticed the change.

This song is my attempt to express what 337 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,039 it's felt like to live in this country as a 338 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,400 Christian for the last five years or so. I call 339 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,920 it Christianity Today. Of course, a special shout out to 340 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:58,359 Christianity Today magazine. Why well, my interpretation Christianity Today has 341 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,680 become somewhat of a fallen publication, and they've questioned some 342 00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:07,799 things like, hey, did Jesus really get nails for his hands? 343 00:21:09,839 --> 00:21:13,480 Maybe he had his hands tied to the cross, when 344 00:21:13,519 --> 00:21:15,359 in fact no, the Bible tells us he was pierced 345 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,039 for our transgressions. And of course the very very very 346 00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:24,799 memorable moment where Jesus showed his scars. It was Thomas, 347 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,480 doubting Thomas who needed to see that proof from the Lord. 348 00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:30,960 Jesus said, you see, so you believe? I say, blessed 349 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,440 to those who have not seen and yet believe. So 350 00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:36,640 here's Mike's song, or part of it. And he's taking 351 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,599 something very ugly, which is the use of Christianity to 352 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:48,160 attack Christians, and he expresses it so beautifully. 353 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,799 Speaker 7: Where her maass get the fact a few to leave 354 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:15,759 the past beyond m h if you have a couple 355 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:22,400 of kids, if she don't leave there anything make them back. 356 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:37,200 If they're why make them right?
