A Seinfeld Moment

| When did God first call you to be a voice for the church and for really electing the right officers, I mean the right presidents, the right senators or congressmen? | |
| I personally think that it was when I started hearing friends of mine like Rick Joyner and you talking about where America was at. | |
| Because like so many Christians, I just wanted to preach spiritual kingdom optimistic messages and focus on revival. | |
| But I heard something in your voice and the way in which you had grounded it in real concern. | |
| And then I started reading Dinish D'Souza and other people and I said, oh my God, I myself am part of the problem because as a preacher, as somebody had an audience, I was ignoring what was happening in the controversies of my country and the world in order to focus on solutions that are Christ-centered. | |
| But I was having a conversation with Christians. | |
| I wasn't affecting the world. | |
| So the moment that I got called by accident up to a Trump meeting, and I came out of that, and I walked in, I wasn't supposed to be there. | |
| It was like Kenneth Colpen was there, and Paul White. | |
| And I actually was so, I got so insecure. | |
| I went up to the doorman, and I said, am I on that list? | |
| Because I thought there was a mistake made. | |
| Everyone had a big ministry of something. | |
| And the guy says, yeah, you're on the list. | |
| I put you on the list. | |
| I said, well, who are you? | |
| He said, I'm the PR agent. | |
| I heard you in a little meeting down there in Florida, and I made a decision right then. | |
| If I could get you in front of Trump, you're going. | |
| So I thought, oh, and so I'm in the meeting, that big boardroom, and Trump's talking, and there's, you know, Justin Franklin and the Kennedy Colby. | |
| And I'm peeing quiet. | |
| And actually, because it was new. | |
| And I'm thinking, man, what am I, surreal? | |
| What am I doing here? | |
| And all of a sudden I get a kick under the chair. | |
| And that PR agent says, you better say something. | |
| And so he forced me to open my mouth and start talking because I was just going to be humble and just watch. | |
| So I spoke. | |
| And after I spoke, I got invited to another meeting. | |
| And I was just speaking because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of the guy that kicked my chair. | |
| But all I knew was Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness. | |
| I heard the Lord say that. | |
| The next meeting, I'm invited to a Trump rally in Atlanta. | |
| I go down to Atlanta, and I'm there, and it was like one of the, it was one TV program, but it had like a whole African-American, it wasn't BET, but it was kind of like they were bringing all the pastors up that were African-American, and they're all dressed so really well. | |
| And then they see me standing along the side. | |
| I was invited, and they said live on television, they said, oh, ladies and gentlemen, look what we have over here. | |
| It's Donald Trump's number two man, Michael Cohen. | |
| And they brought me over. | |
| Come on over. | |
| And I'm in front of the cameras now, in front of this audience, and I'm staring at thinking, what do I do? | |
| And he hand me the microphone and say, well, Mr. Cohen, why don't you say something? | |
| And I tried to clear my throat, and I said, I'm not Michael Cohen. | |
| And it's like I had like a Seinfeld moment. | |
| It was so embarrassing. | |
| And I said, I said, Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness. | |
| Thank you. | |
| So I get the microphone back. | |
| Right. | |
| And I look at them all going, wrecking ball. | |
| Next thing you know, everywhere you go, wrecking ball, wrecking ball, wrecking ball. | |
| And I realized I may not have been involved. | |
| I don't know how I got in. | |
| I don't know how I got on. | |
