=== Dangerous Soul Ties (02:28) ===

[00:00:00]  What's the difference between the two?
[00:00:02]  Is it knowledge or what?
[00:00:03]  Is it knowledge that you have in your head?
[00:00:05]  Knowledge.
[00:00:06]  But he has.
[00:00:08]  I thought this was in your page 154.
[00:00:10]  Jim, here's your answer.
[00:00:12]  All right.
[00:00:12]  Dangerous soul ties to a political spirit.
[00:00:16]  Oh, yes.
[00:00:19]  Let me explain.
[00:00:20]  Oh, read that again.
[00:00:21]  Okay.
[00:00:21]  There are dangerous.
[00:00:23]  No, this is the answer.
[00:00:25]  There is a political spirit, and there are people who are soul-tied to a political party no matter what happens.
[00:00:33]  I've heard of it.
[00:00:33]  They don't care if they kill babies.
[00:00:35]  They don't care if they destroy marriage.
[00:00:37]  Come on, they don't care if they wreck up the Bible.
[00:00:39]  Well, mama voted that way.
[00:00:41]  Daddy voted that way.
[00:00:42]  We're fourth generations.
[00:00:43]  Yeah, it's a soul tie.
[00:00:44]  It's a soul tie.
[00:00:45]  And when you have that kind of a tie, it is the most difficult.
[00:00:48]  And here's why it's difficult to break.
[00:00:49]  Ready?
[00:00:49]  Because any tie like that is tied to emotion.
[00:00:52]  Yes.
[00:00:53]  You ever remember talking about soul ties?
[00:00:55]  Yeah.
[00:00:56]  Are you all listening?
[00:00:57]  Watch them get emotional.
[00:00:58]  Is it sound noise?
[00:00:59]  Watch them on the news.
[00:01:00]  Oh, we do.
[00:01:01]  No, watch them on the news get emotional.
[00:01:03]  If somebody comes on, they're crying.
[00:01:05]  If somebody comes on and says, well, you know, there's a North Korean deal.
[00:01:07]  Well, I'm just going to tell you what, working with a dictator ain't going to.
[00:01:10]  I mean, if you watch the left, pay attention.
[00:01:12]  The conservatives are sitting there keeping their calm, and the left is screaming, foaming at the mouth, beating the table, looking around.
[00:01:20]  Why?
[00:01:21]  Because one group is rationally comparing and say, okay, let's compare what's happened then to now.
[00:01:26]  The economy is up, better jobs.
[00:01:28]  There's something going on.
[00:01:29]  But the other side is so tied to that side, and if they're tied to that side, it is impossible for them to agree with anything good.
[00:01:38]  I mean, the man could get up and walk on water, raise somebody from the dead, and they're going to say, he's a false prophet.
[00:01:45]  Right.
[00:01:45]  Yep.
[00:01:46]  That's what they did to Jesus.
[00:01:47]  that's what they did to jesus see see the pharisees i understand No, the Pharisees had a soul tie.
[00:01:55]  I mean, the Pharisees had a soul tie to the Romans.
[00:01:58]  Because when Jesus came, they make this statement.
[00:02:00]  We better deal with him because the Romans will come and take our position and take our city.
[00:02:07]  And they thought, Jesus, if he raises up too many people, the common people are going to raise up a few people.
[00:02:10]  They're going to takes in money.
[00:02:12]  Absolutely.
[00:02:13]  Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.

=== Ronald Reagan's Wisdom (01:32) ===

[00:02:21]  Oh, is that good?
[00:02:22]  Yeah, that's Ernest Ben.
[00:02:24]  Listen to this.
[00:02:24]  Henry Carter VII said, the problem with political jokes is they get elected.
[00:02:29]  Oh.
[00:02:30]  Ronald Reagan, your buddy Ronald Reagan.
[00:02:32]  Politics is not a bad profession.
[00:02:34]  If you succeed, there are many rewards.
[00:02:36]  If you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.
[00:02:40]  Yes, people.
[00:02:41]  Reagan said this.
[00:02:42]  Listen to this.
[00:02:44]  Reagan said, politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession.
[00:02:48]  I have come to realize that it bears close resemblance to the first.
[00:02:54]  Bob Edwards said, now I know what a statesman is.
[00:02:57]  He's a dead politician.
[00:02:59]  We need more statesmen.
[00:03:03]  Frank Dane said, get all the fools on your side and you can be elected to anything.
[00:03:07]  Right.
[00:03:08]  Then Jay Leno made this statement.
[00:03:11]  If God had wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
[00:03:18]  But in all seriousness, I have seen Christians, and I would say to them, they had voted maybe a candidate that I knew was pro-abortion.
[00:03:27]  I knew that they did not stand with traditional marriage.
[00:03:30]  And I would say to them, I want to ask you an honest question.
[00:03:32]  Be very honest with me.
[00:03:33]  I just want to ask, how can you do this?
[00:03:36]  And here's what their excuse is.
[00:03:39]  Socially, I disagree with them.
[00:03:43]  But politically, they represent my family's party.
