Elijah Challenges the Prophets of Baal 00:06:40
Hello and welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show.
Coming to you from the Village of Morningside, USA, nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains.
Today, our special guests are author and conservative political and economic commentator and former Washington, D.C. attorney, Michael Snyder and security and preparedness expert Darren Parker.
Our co-host today is Reverend Mondo de la Vega.
And now, live from Grace Street at Morningside, USA, here's your host, Pastor Ricky Baker.
Hello, welcome.
We have day two with our good friends Darren Parker and Michael Snyder on with us today.
If you missed the first episode, I urge you go back to video on demand or if you have it recorded, please watch it.
It is an important episode.
We have day two.
We have them back.
But before we do that, I'm going to lay the groundwork for the show today.
We have Pastor Jim Baker, and he's reading a little piece of the Old Testament about Elijah and the prophets of Baal.
I want you to watch this and really pay attention.
Go to 1 Kings 18, 21.
And Elijah came unto all the people and said, How long halt ye between two opinions?
Woodoo, that's an election, people.
If the Lord be God, follow him.
But if Baal, then follow him.
Baal is the God of killing babies.
We have got to follow God.
And Elijah said unto the people, I, even I, only remain a prophet.
Here he was.
He felt all alone.
Sometimes I feel like I'm a voice in the wilderness, and you've heard me say that.
But Baal's prophets are 450 men, it says.
Down to verse 24, and call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord.
And God that answereth by fire, let him be God.
And all the people answered and said, it is well spoken.
Verse 26, and they took bullocks, which were given them, and they dressed it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us.
That's what America is doing.
America has turned to Baal.
And they cried out, O Baal, hear us.
But there was no voice, nor any that answered.
And they leaped upon the altar.
Boy, doesn't that sound like people today?
They danced and jumped and screamed and hollered.
And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, cry aloud, for he is a God.
Either he is talking or he is pursuing.
That means he's out on the outdoor toilet.
Elijah said unto all the people, come near unto me.
And all the people came near unto him and repaired.
Listen to this.
He repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.
It's time we repair the house of God.
It's time we repair the altars and we begin to worship again and we begin to love one another.
Oh, verse 32.
And with the stones, he built an altar in the name of the Lord and he made a trench about the altar.
And he put the wood in order and cut the bullocks in pieces and laid them on the wood and said, fill four barrels with water.
And he poured it on the burnt sacrifice and on the wood.
And he said, do it the second time.
And they did it the second time.
And he said, do it the third time.
And they did it the third time.
And the water ran around the altar.
He filled the trenches with water.
This was like the election, people.
This is what they did with Donald Trump.
And so that water ran around the altar, filled the trenches with water.
Then Elijah the prophet came near and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
Hear, O Lord, hear me.
This people may know that thou art the Lord God, that thou hast turned their hearts back again.
Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice.
But it also burned up the wood.
That's not enough.
It burnt up the stone, it says next.
You're reading in your Bible?
It's burnt up the stones and it burned up the dust.
And the fire licked up all the water in the trench.
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, The Lord, He is God, the Lord.
He is the God.
Amen.
And that's why an America has a chance right now to turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Wow.
To turn back to the one true God.
To lift up Jesus Christ again.
We have desecrated the Lord.
We have just turned against him in this country.
And it's time that you can pray in Jesus' name.
And God gave us the miracle this election.
Yes, he did.
And I do want to say something here.
God gave us an imperfect leader.
He did not give us a Messiah.
He did not give us a prophet.
Maybe you ought to read the Bible.
Maybe you ought to stop judging everybody.
Because everybody God picked to use, look at his disciples.
Yeah.
I'm not going to preach on Peter, but I'll tell you what.
He's a great example.
Peter did a lot of swearing.
He did a lot of cursing.
He denied Jesus Christ.
And yet God picked him to preach the message of Pentecost.
The starting of the church.
Where he said, I'll build my church upon this rock.
It's time now to pray for our president more than ever.
Yes.
It's time now to pray for our president more than ever.
Word from Pastor Jim Baker, your friend, the founder of the PTL Television Network.
Constitutional Term Limits Impact 00:13:32
Michael Snyder, we have you back on for day two.
I want to thank you for being back on the broadcast with us.
And Darren, I want to thank you for being back with us again as well.
You know, both of you, really, I'd say, dedicate a good portion of your time watching and seeing what the world is doing.
Michael, I know you're talking about geopolitical issues and political issues within the United States of America.
And Darren, I know you spent the majority of your life defending and protecting the Constitution of the United States of America.
How does it make you feel when we are having government officials being elected into office that think we need to strike down and recreate our Constitution?
Oh, get me started.
This is an hour show, right?
Yeah, that's right.
We have 50 minutes.
No, it's incredible.
But it's not surprising.
If they can't win by the rules, then they want to change the rules.
And if they can't change the rules, then they usually cheat.
But anyway.
I think it's a valid question, right?
Should America ever consider updating the Constitution to modern times?
Or is that a bogus ideology or idea to go to?
Yeah, think about this.
So the reason we have the Constitution is because of the experience that the founding fathers went through.
So after coming out of the British rule, they were like, wait a minute, we don't want to ever go back to that.
And so they got together, put their heads again, and say, let's come up with a constitution where we'll never go back to a king's rule.
And so that's how our constitution was born.
And does it stand today?
Yeah, it still stands today.
But now there's people they would love to change it.
And they talk about how we need to update it or whatever, for what reason.
All the things still pertain.
Everything still holds true.
We have rights that were given to us by God, and you can't take those away.
Amen.
Amen.
Michael Senner, I want to ask you about that.
Same question.
We are electing leaders in the United States of America.
Luckily, we had a massive red wave of people who I truly believe love the Constitution, but we still have a significant amount of people who want the Constitution changed.
How do you feel about the leaders that have been elected that really seek to destroy and undermine the current Constitution of the United States of America?
Well, what a transition we have.
We're going from the Biden administration, which is a bunch of socialists, hey, and they hate literally the values that this country is founded upon.
And now we're going to Trump.
And the first time Trump was elected, he tried to play nice.
He tried to work with the system.
But this time around, Trump is not going to play nice.
He's bringing in loyalists.
He's bringing people that want to be disruptors, that want to turn over the tables.
And so what this has said, people need to understand, this is not going to be a smooth process.
He's bringing in people like Elon Musk, like Bobby Kennedy Jr., like Tulsi Gabbard, and a whole host of others that are coming in and that want to make massive, radical change to the agencies or to the areas of government that they're going to be assigned to.
But the people that are there, the deep state, if you will, the bureaucrats that have stuck around no matter who's been in the White House, they stick around.
They're unelected officials that run our government to a very large degree.
You see, over the decades, over time, Congress has delegated much of its power to federal agencies, which are run by unelected bureaucrats.
And of course, they've got layers and layers of unelected bureaucrats under them.
And these federal agencies have become immensely powerful and dominated by people of a globalist worldview, of a liberal worldview, of an, frankly, anti-Christian worldview.
And now you've got people coming in that are going to be running these agencies and these areas of government.
But then the vast majority of the people underneath them don't want to change.
So we're setting up a scenario where our government is literally going to be at war with itself.
And if people think, well, this is just going to be easy, this is going to be smooth, no way, no way.
Now I'm getting my popcorn.
I'm looking forward to seeing this because frankly, for a very long time, I wanted the size of our government to be reduced.
I wanted these government bureaucrats to get kicked out.
I wanted the tables to be turned over in Washington, D.C. When I ran for Congress in 2018, that was one of the big things I ran on.
I wanted to go to D.C. and turn over the tables.
So I look forward to seeing it happen, but it is going to cause massive disruption throughout our society because people need to understand we've got the biggest and largest government in the history of the world.
To a very large degree, we live in a socialist system.
Now this system is going to be in conflict with itself, at war with itself.
It's going to be torn apart and it's going to be ripped apart and it's going to be working against itself.
And this is going to cause tremendous upheaval in our society in 2025 and beyond.
How ironic is it that the federal government, they don't earn one penny.
It's not like they sell a product or a service.
They don't earn one penny.
And they are the largest employer.
Think about that.
That's interesting.
Michael, what do you think about that?
I know you deal greatly with the economics of a country.
Darren just said, not one penny earned yet.
They are the largest employer.
And I would probably venture out there to say probably the largest spender of our fundamentals.
So what do you think, Michael?
Yeah, and it's been one of the only things that has been propping up our economy because over in recent months, private employment has actually been going down, but government employment has been going up.
And that's been keeping the employment numbers somewhat stable.
And, you know, so our government, of course, it's not just the federal government, but state and local governments just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
And it's such a giant part of our economy at this point that if we try to go back to a smaller government, if we try to go back to a more limited government, it's just going to have a devastating impact on our economy because so many people are employed by various levels of government,
by government agencies, by the military, by all the levels of government, state and local and all of it, and the institutions that support that giant bureaucracy and the government contracts.
So, you know what?
Since when Barack Obama entered the White House, we were $10 trillion in debt.
Now we're about $36 trillion in debt.
And if we would have gone back and removed all that spending of government spending out of the economy, we would be in a great depression right now.
The only reason why we've been able to still enjoy some level of prosperity in recent years is because our government has been spending trillions upon trillions upon trillions of dollars that we do not have.
And so it's inflated our standard of living up to a standard of living that, frankly, we do not deserve, but we've borrowed from the future to make the pleasant more, to make the present more pleasant, I should say.
So it's pumped up our standard of living.
Now, Elon Musk is coming in with the Department of Government Efficiency, and he says, let's slash government spending.
Let's get rid of a lot of these government workers.
Let's reduce the size of government.
Great.
That's what we need to do.
Our Constitution calls for a smaller government.
But if we do that, the economic consequences are going to be severe.
But Michael, don't you think, though, because at the very beginning, it will.
It'll have an effect.
But the American people are resilient, and it's unbelievable.
We have innovators.
The private sector will then step up and fulfill those slots.
It will take a little time, and that's where I think we'll see the results of cutting the government quickly.
But the private sector will step up eventually, would it not?
Well, in the long term, I mean, you're right, but there's a period of transition.
So I'm speaking more the short term.
It would be extremely disruptive.
Just like Donald Trump's tariffs, if he imposes tariffs around the world, well, in the long run, that's going to bring jobs back to the United States.
That's going to bring manufacturing back to the United States.
It's something that needs to be done because, frankly, countries like China have been ripping us off.
But in the short term, in the short term, tariffs will be disruptive.
All of a sudden, the products that fill up our dollar stores and Walmart and Target that come from China, that come from some of these other countries, all of a sudden they're going to cost quite a bit more, and that's going to be painful on the pocketbooks of the American people.
So in the short term, any type of changes, whether it's tariffs, whether it's changes in government, things of that nature, they are going to have short-term economic consequences.
People need to understand that.
So I want to ask you this then, Michael.
You know, you deal with, like I said, geopolitical events.
You see that.
So if the Department of Government Efficiency, or as they're calling it Doge, which is going to be head up by Elon Musk, I believe Vivek Ramaswamy is also going to be a part of that.
If they do come in over the next, let's say, two years and start slashing government jobs, you're saying that there would be an economic downfall to that.
So we would then possibly go into a recession.
What would that look like for the last two years of Donald Trump's presidency?
Let's just play with that hypothetical.
Well, today, many of the best paying jobs in America are government jobs, frankly.
You know, people, many people in government make over $100,000 a year in salary plus benefits and all that.
So we live in an age where if you want a good, secure, well-paying job that comes with a pension at the end of the rainbow, well, you're a better bet to go work for the government than for the private sector, frankly, which is very, very sad because it shouldn't be that way.
Our government workers, they're living high on the hog, and there's millions and millions and millions of them.
Okay, all of a sudden you start throwing those people in the unemployment line.
Well, you're going to have a lot of people that are out of work and all of a sudden are not spending money into the economy.
And right now we're seeing restaurant after restaurant chain go out of business or go into bankruptcy because consumers don't have as much discretionary income.
You're going to accelerate that problem.
Already you're seeing Americans, they're piling up credit card debt just to try to make ends meet.
The middle class has been shrinking steadily.
Already you've got more than 20% of renters in this country paying more, paying all of their regular income just in their rent to pay their rent, you know, for their housing.
You know, you've got the cost of living crisis.
USA Today, they just reported that the average household, when they go to the grocery store, for people living in Miami, the average trip to the grocery store costs $327.
You know, I still remember the days when $327 was a lot of money.
Four years of bidenomics has taken us dramatically in the wrong direction.
Homelessness in this country is at an all-time high.
Demand at U.S. food banks is back to pandemic levels, but we don't have a pandemic.
We don't have lockdowns to blame it on.
But demand at food banks is back to pandemic levels.
We've got poverty is growing in this country.
We've got so many things in this country are rapidly moving in the wrong direction.
That's why we just saw surveys.
Most of the country, in surveys taken just before the election, most of the country believes we're in a recession already.
Most of the countries believes we're moving economically in the wrong direction and is very dissatisfied with the state of the economy.
That's one of the reasons Trump won, because people hate what's happened to the U.S. economy.
Now, if we start throwing millions of government workers out, it's saying, hit the bricks, pal, you're out of work.
Of course, that's going to make things even worse.
Right now, our economic momentum is rapidly going in the wrong direction.
And so cutting our absolutely massively bloated federal government, it's the right thing to do, but it will have short-term economic consequences that are very painful.
Understandably, I want to change the subject.
The United Healthcare CEO was shot and killed, and they had just arrested the shooter.
I want you to watch this role, and we're going to talk about a little bit about the kind of the culture that this is now setting, where people are really celebrating this man and not looking at him as a murderer.
Moment Of Cultural Shift 00:12:08
Check this out.
A man was taken into custody today in Altuta, Pennsylvania, this morning.
He has been identified as Luigi Nicholas Mangioni.
He's a male 26 years old.
He was born and raised in Maryland.
Today, a new video obtained by ABC News shows the suspect wanted for the murder of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson lying in wait.
When the killer spots his mark, he runs across the street and opens fire.
In newly released photos, the suspect is seen getting into a New York City taxi about 20 minutes after the shooting, appearing to look right at the camera.
Again, NYPD divers searching a Central Park pond.
They hope to find the gun used in the shooting in the bicycle the suspect got away on.
Near the pond, investigators found this backpack linked to the shooter.
In it, police sources tell us a jacket and monopoly money.
Some kind of statement, some kind of assuming some messaging that has to be figured out.
The police also built a timeline starting 10 days before the shooting, November 24th, when they say the suspect arrived in New York by bus just after 10 p.m.
He immediately took a taxi to the scene of the crime.
He took another taxi to a hostel on the Upper West Side where he checked in using a fake ID and was spotted on a security camera without his mask.
On December 4th, police say the suspect is seen leaving the hostel at 5.30 in the morning and arriving near the Hilton 11 minutes later.
He was seen walking nearby, ordering at Starbucks, then waiting for Thompson, who crossed 6th Avenue at 6.44 a.m.
Today's new video giving us more detail of that.
This case was brought to a successful conclusion based on the coordinated effort between numerous NYPD units, including the Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau, our federal partners at the FBI, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, and of course, members of the Altoona Police Department in Pennsylvania.
Darren, I want to ask you this question.
You spent how many years in law enforcement?
20.
20 years in law enforcement.
Do you believe this was a professional hit?
Professional.
No, no, but of course, we're going to learn a lot about this guy here pretty quick.
And we'll probably learn more about this guy than we know about the person who tried to kill Trump.
But that's a whole nother subject.
Sadly.
Yeah.
But professional, I mean, there's obvious signs of sophistication.
I mean, obviously he planned this thing out.
And I think I've watched the video three or four times.
I think he had like booties, cloth over his shoes.
I mean, obviously he had had it planned out.
He arrived in New York days before.
And so he went out and gathered intelligence.
And so there's a degree of sophistication for sure.
I think it's going to turn out when all the information gets out.
It's going to turn out more of a activism or a personal vendetta than a professional hit.
Okay.
You have to see this as a cultural shift moment or a moment that has changed the culture.
Here you have an Ivy League man, Valedictorian.
This is not a dumb kid.
This is a kid that had a lot of knowledge.
Yet, when you have a disgruntled, angry, hurt young man that is against the insurance company.
And I think everybody has to understand we all have been unhappy at some point at our insurance company.
Yet we have the common sense.
We're not going to go and get even.
But yet this is a cultural shift because the Bible has warned us that in the last days, it's going to be all about us.
It's a second Timothy moment.
Social media, everything is all about us.
I want to get even.
I want to get my point across.
And yet we are watching a cultural moment take place that 20 years ago, we didn't see this type of murder.
20 years ago, we didn't have people making their own quote unquote 3D guns.
Yet we have that already.
Technology, again, I'm not blaming technology.
I'm blaming the fact that man's heart is filled with evil.
We are living in a moment where the culture is shifting so fast, yet the evil behind it is what Matthew, Luke, and John and all of this, they've warned us about.
We are there.
Who would ever have thought that a young man that is a son, a grandson, will wake up and do this type of murder?
This is something that we have to understand that we have shifted it to the moment when we don't want God.
This is the type of results we get.
That's right.
Absolutely.
Michael, I want to get your opinion on that.
Do you think this is a culture shift for the United States of America?
There was a big social media trend where a lot of these CEOs of large companies were essentially saying, hey, we plan on making a big shift in our company to, you know, be better for the people.
That came directly after this.
So it shows you it's shaking up the tops of all these companies where they're saying, hey, maybe we should listen to the people.
What do you think about the culture shift, though?
Yeah, I think this was quite a cultural moment.
Now, we should, what a horrible crime.
I think Mondo made a lot of great points.
This was a great tragedy.
We should pray for the family of this executive.
And we never want to see this kind of thing happen, but it is starting to happen.
We are starting to see people go on vendettas, take the law into their own hands.
We've got lawlessness throughout our society.
According to the FBI, there are approximately 14 million crimes a year in the United States now.
Okay.
So people get gunned down on the streets in New York City all the time, other cities.
Violence is raging all across our country.
So this is, you know, the reason why this case made all the news is because this was a big guy.
This was a CEO.
This was an executive.
This was someone that was high up in the food chain.
But there are countless other victims that we never hear about their crimes because it just happens constantly.
Our streets are filled with violence, which, you know, is one point I wanted to make.
The other point I wanted to make, why did this guy do it?
Why did he do it?
Okay.
He obviously picked the target.
He was upset at this insurance company.
In particular, he was upset at how this insurance company has been behaving.
And apparently, he was upset about how this insurance company has been denying claims.
And as Mondo said, who hasn't been upset at the insurance companies?
Because these giant insurance companies.
And people need to understand because after this shooting happened, there was an explosion on social media of people coming out being sympathetic, of being supportive of the shooter, which is horrible.
We're not supportive of the shooter.
But on social media, we saw a lot of sympathy for the shooter.
Why?
Because people, there is a cultural trend, a cultural bubbling up of hatred toward these insurance companies because our insurance premiums are absurd.
They have gone in recent years to ridiculate.
They're strangling the American people.
They're strangling the middle class because insurance premiums are so high, and these health insurance companies are making billions and billions of dollars in profit.
Meanwhile, then when the time comes, you paid your insurance premiums month after month faithfully.
Okay, you get sick, you've got a claim, you go to make your claim, and then it gets denied.
And what's happening is these insurance companies in recent years have made it part of their business model to deny as many claims as possible, knowing that the average person like you or I, we're not going to hire a lawyer.
We don't have the resources to fight it.
We don't have the resources to take it to court.
So, in most cases, we're not going to fight it.
We're not going to object.
We're just going to be forced to take their decision.
You know, and so then they make more money.
They make more profits.
They get more bonuses for their executives.
Okay.
So, without a doubt, these health insurance companies have been behaving very, very badly.
There's millions and millions of Americans that are deeply upset about it.
But as Mondo said, that doesn't mean we go out and shoot someone.
We shouldn't do that.
We're Christians.
We don't do violence in the streets.
We don't do any of that.
The American people shouldn't do that.
But we're starting to see this trend.
People are becoming violent.
They're taking the law into their own hands.
So what we witnessed was a tremendous tragedy.
But in so many ways, it says a lot about where we are as a society today.
Ricky, I want to say something and comment on that.
Please.
What we saw was a reflection of the frustration of the tiredness of exhaustion of a society.
Again, let me raise the question.
My wife recently had another step in the bad direction with lupus.
Our insurance company would not do the MRIs that we were asking.
Yet my wife, in frustration, didn't go out and go kill somebody.
Instead, she got on the phone and pleaded with the lady to be able to get the MRIs.
People are tired.
They're frustrated at a healthcare system that has been manipulating for many years society's decision on how do we get healthcare done properly.
Yet it is a reflection of where we are without God.
It's a reflection of where we are when we depend on men.
We, as God's people, got to depend on the right people.
Listen, this is why it's so important.
And guys, you guys can agree or disagree with me, but don't you find it that this is why it's so important that we vote in, that we hire, that we place godly men and godly women that can lead companies, that can lead nations, that can lead the school districts.
It's not to implement our religious views.
It's to do the right thing at the end of the day.
If you do the right thing, it's because you're doing what God has called you to do, is to be just.
The Bible says, as a man thinketh, so is he.
That out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
I got to tell you something.
If society continues to hire the wrong people, I am afraid that we're going to see even more murders take place because people are tired.
It's not an excuse.
But we have to understand this is why we vote in the right people.
We got to vote in the people that can lead companies the right way.
If we don't do that, I am afraid that this culture is going to take on a trend that is not going to stop on one CEO.
They're gonna go after their hungry for blood.
Yeah, a lot of the times, you know, the issue with a lot of people is you know, they are CEOs picking their predecessor from the company of CEOs who they know will do the exact same thing they did, if not a little bit better.
But, you know, we're seeing a huge cultural shift right now.
First Celebrity Suit 00:03:46
We're seeing a shift in our culture.
You're saying, you know, we're a culture without God, and that is absolutely proven.
We've seen that in our media industry.
We're seeing that all throughout Hollywood.
I mean, Michael, we're seeing such an exposure of Hollywood right now, megastars at this time.
It just shows you God is fed up, and that when it is time for him to do the exposing, that he will allow people to play right into the hand that they have been dealing themselves for decades.
You know, for example, we are seeing this whole issue with a Hollywood megastar by the name of Sean Diddy Combs.
This man has been doing horrible things for decades.
They're just coming out.
People are finally getting the courage to come out and speak against some of the things that he's been doing.
But there are other megastars that are coming out that people love, that people think are great, that people, you know, stand with on presidential platforms and allow them to be the ones saying, Hey, I think you should vote for X, Y, and Z. You know, I want you to watch this video, Michael.
It's and then I want to get your opinion on it.
Right now, we're dealing with a man who is accused in a civil lawsuit of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000.
That is 24 years ago, and it is just now coming out for something to be done about this.
Watch this this morning, disturbing new claims against music icon Jay-Z, a civil lawsuit detailing sexual assault originally brought against his longtime friend, Sean Diddy Combs, now adding new allegations against the rapper whose real name is Sean Carter.
Claims both men deny.
The anonymous woman, who was 13 at the time, described in the lawsuit as being drugged and raped at an MTV VMA's after party, she says Combs hosted in 2000.
According to the suit, she recalls accepting a drink from a waitress that made her feel woozy and lightheaded before she says she was raped by Jay-Z and then Combs in a bedroom as an unnamed female celebrity watched.
Jay-Z swiftly issuing a statement Sunday calling the claims heinous and accusing the woman's attorney of trying to blackmail him, suggesting the attorney had tried to seek a settlement first, adding, I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one.
Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away.
My heart and support goes out to the true victims in the world.
The billionaire who is married to megastar Beyoncé saying he is heartbroken.
The couple will have to explain the quote cruelty and greed of people to their children.
Combs too has denied any allegations of sexual assault.
Earlier this fall, the plaintiff's attorney Tony Busby, a personal injury lawyer in Texas, held a press conference after Combs was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges, suggesting more fallout would follow.
I expect that through this process, many powerful people will be exposed.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges and continues to deny the allegations Busby has made against him in a string of civil lawsuits, which Combs' attorneys have dismissed as shameless publicity stumps.
But this marks the first suit publicly naming another high-profile celebrity.
Now, in a statement posted online, Busby, the lawyer, acknowledged sending Jay-Z a letter prior to filing this complaint, prior to this whole thing, seeking a confidential mediation, but says his client never demanded a penny from Jay-Z at the time.
She is now seeking an unspecified amount in damages, guys.
Michael, I want to ask you about this.
You know, we're seeing a huge culture shift where these Hollywood elite, these megastars who have been running the industry for years, are now being called out on these.
Wickedness In Our Entertainment Industry 00:03:06
You know, these accusations are being thrown on them.
What do you think about what is happening right now?
I know you don't necessarily stay up on pop culture, but you do understand the culture of the United States of America, and this has a big effect on that.
Yeah, this is extremely alarming.
We're talking about some of the biggest names in the music industry that are looked up to by millions and millions of young people.
Of course, this thing with P. Diddy and Jay-Z and then Epstein and all that is just the tip of the iceberg.
And we all know that.
Across this country today, countless young boys, young girls are being trafficked.
And then in a lot of cases, and more are being brought across the border and trafficked by transnational, illegal immigrant gangs all the time.
More are being brought in and they're being abused in some of the most horrible ways you can imagine.
But this is our country now.
This is our country today where evil is just spreading.
In fact, just about every form of evil that you can possibly imagine is exploding all around us.
In fact, if you look at the Bible, just about everything that the Bible says don't do, it's growing in our society today.
So we are a society that is actually absolutely permeated by sexual immorality, and people don't want to give it up.
And it's growing and the agenda has been out of control.
Of course, thankfully, there's a backlash against it.
But especially when children are being abused, it should break all of our hearts.
We should demand justice, but it is not acceptable.
But people need to understand.
A lot of times people think, oh, the United States, we're such a wonderful country.
We're a light to the rest of the world.
No, no, we produce more pornography than the rest of the world combined.
Our filth from Hollywood goes out to the four corners of the earth.
We're spreading our values.
Abortion, we've killed more than 60 million children since Roe versus Wade was decided.
Then Roe versus Wade was overturned.
Now, after Roe versus Wade was overturned, the number of abortions actually went up.
Now, Republicans will have control of the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
They will have the opportunity to pass a law to ban abortion in the United States.
Will they do it?
If they don't do it, we're in big trouble because if we do not stop killing children on an industrial scale, America will be destroyed.
Judgment will come upon America.
But these are the end times.
Wickedness is everywhere.
And in so many ways, the United States is the heart of the global wickedness that we're witnessing.
And that breaks my heart because I love this country.
I love the United States of America.
But we need to realize that the porn industry, the entertainment industry, and so much of the evil that is going on all over the world, well, at the root of it is our entertainment industry and our value system.
Cartels Getting More Dangerous 00:15:20
That's right.
You know, I want to play this Musemax article for you.
It's about smugglers and cartels changing their smuggling tactics at the border.
But the reason that this goes hand in hand is what you were just speaking on is because these young men and women are being trafficked and that they're being filmed and then it's being distributed.
And these large companies that you're referring to are not being tried.
They're not being attacked by the United States government as they should be for distributing child pornography.
Watch this.
And we have some new details on human smugglers and their ever-changing methods of sneaking men, women, and children across the southern border.
This summer, the Biden administration implemented some new measures to try to combat the criminal networks that move people into the U.S. illegally.
But that just led smuggling rings and drug cartels to change their methods.
And now the incoming, with the incoming Trump administration, promising mass deportations and wider border crackdowns, smugglers are finding new and riskier ways to exploit the situation.
And what we've been seeing lately is we've been seeing dozens of people crammed into semis, but now we're seeing hundreds of them once again.
A tactic that is old is once again new again in way of desperation.
So, what we're being told here is that sources say that they're actually clearing out the stash houses pretty quickly along the southern border where migrants are piling up.
They're trying to move people as quickly as possible ahead of Trump's planned mass deportations.
And it's leading to more unique and dangerous smuggling in the Lone Star State.
Just last week, here in the Laredo sector, sources say this semi-truck, I want to show you that, attempting to transport more than 100 illegal immigrants into the country when it was stopped by Border Patrol agents.
Now, the threat of the incoming Trump administration has more trying to evade as well because they can't just walk in.
So, you got these two guys who are blending in with construction workers in Roma, Texas, when sources say they were apprehended by Border Patrol.
Now, we talked with retired Yuma sector Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem, who says desperate times call for desperate measures.
We know that even though the actual number of people that are entering illegally between the ports is down, the total number of people coming in that are, you know, is still at a high level, and that the shelters in Mexico have been at and above capacity for, golly, for years now.
The profit is still there.
I think they are trying to figure out a new way of making this happen because they understand that all eyes are on them.
An inbound Trump administration is going to be shutting things down.
So, they're chesting the waters with what's working and what's not working.
The ways of getting in a little bit more dangerous for law enforcement, once again, look at this out of the San Diego sector, where they're actually alerting agents that smugglers are using spike strips.
They're literally laying out spike strips to disable border patrol vehicles.
Now, the chief there is saying historically, these tactics are used when we increase our effectiveness across the border.
So, like I said, you put pressure on them, they're going to have to pivot.
This is one of those pivots.
Now, we did report on a similar tactic being used in the Del Rio sector.
This was back in September.
They were using Caltrops to deter law enforcement down here.
So, another interesting take to all of this, Nicole, is that law enforcement I talk with down here say the cartel is going to get more dangerous.
It's going to get more dangerous for law enforcement down here because they were kind of freely operating over the last three and a half years.
Now, they're getting more pressure, they're getting more of that pushback, and it's harder for them to make that $13 billion a year that they need to make.
So, law enforcement say they anticipate the cartel is going to get more violent, they're going to be using drones more, they're going to be throwing rocks and things like that.
So, they are advising Border Patrol to remain vigilant, to remain kind of on a swivel down here when it comes to law enforcement, Nicole, because things are ramping up.
You know, the fact that human trafficking is still under the radar is unbelievable, massively under the radar.
Yet, when you look at pornographic sites, their number one distribution of film or whatever they show they're showing you is children.
When you deal with what's happening with the megastars, you're dealing with children.
When you're dealing with a problem with Epstein and you're dealing with even in the church community, it involves children.
Well, I'll tell you, you know, it's demonic.
There's a demonic spirit is where I'm getting to is the common thread, the common denominator is the demonic attack against children is more rampant than ever before.
And the church doesn't escape it.
I want to tell you something.
The church better wake up to who we are hiring in our pulpits today who is teaching the Sunday school.
The same goes with our industry because I want to tell you something.
We have a sin problem.
And if America doesn't deal with sin, how can you expect other nations to deal with sin?
You can't turn a blind eye.
It's happening in our communities.
I did a program on my show titled Human Trafficking and the Consequences of Forced Migration.
We have a problem in the United States with our current administration that allows millions of illegal immigrants that their only intention is to kill you with drugs, to rape.
Oh, man, you're going to get me in trouble.
And we have hundreds of thousands of children missing.
What other government is going to be?
Over 330,000 children are missing right now, yet no one is talking about it.
And it is the current administration that, you know, is saying, hey, we're, you know, for the family, we're for the children, yet 330,000 plus children missing right now.
How often do you hear about that?
The White House press secretary talking about that.
You don't hear her talking about that every day or week or month.
She'll answer a question, but quickly evade it as fast as she can.
Michael, I want to ask you that.
300,000 plus children missing in the United States of America.
Sadly, most likely most of them have been trafficked or stolen or killed.
Why is the United States government not doing something more about this?
Yeah, you would think with the biggest government in the history of the world, we could track where all these children went.
Somehow we've lost more than 300,000 children.
It's heartbreaking.
And Mondo makes such great points about this, where we're seeing this.
These children are being abused.
And it's everywhere.
Let me give you a statistic.
In the United States today, there are close to a million convicted sex offenders.
That's just the people that have been caught and convicted in a court of law.
That doesn't include all the people that haven't been caught.
So you're talking a million sex predators that have been convicted in this country today.
And so it's everywhere.
It's all over the place.
And it's totally out of control.
We're seeing wickedness on a level.
And during the Biden administration, millions upon millions of people were brought in this country illegally to a very large degree.
The damage has been done.
Now, Trump wants to slam the border shut.
That's great.
I love it.
I hope he does.
I hope he slams the southern border shut.
But it is far more difficult to round up and remove millions upon millions of people that do not want to be found than it is to let them in.
It's far easier to let them in if the damage has been done.
It's going to take years and years and years to try to undo that damage.
That's already been done by the Biden administration.
So this is going to be a very difficult and painful process for this country.
And of course, the left plans to fight the deportations every step of the way.
So yeah, let's talk about that.
You know, we're seeing multiple cities and states push back against Trump's mass deportation plans.
I want to ask you, what will the new borders are, Tom Homan, do if these governors and mayors resist?
Well, I think we're going to see conflict between states, between cities, between municipalities, between some of these sanctuary cities and the Trump administration.
And we'll see court battles and they're going to try to resist and they're going to claim federalism and the federal government's going to say, no, we're supposed to be in charge of the border.
But once again, we're going to see a system at war with itself.
Like earlier I described a government at war with itself.
We're also going to see the federal government battles, legal battles with state and local governments over this whole immigration thing.
It's not going to be smooth.
And many on the left are absolutely determined to stop this and to hide these people and prevent them from being deported.
And of course, the left is already talking about holding protests.
And when people are being put on buses or whatever, they're going to be there to film it and put it on TV and show children crying and stir up public sympathy.
And it's going to be a very painful chapter for this country.
And even trying to deport thousands of people is going to be immensely difficult, not even talking about the millions and millions that are already here causing trouble.
We've got these Venezuelan gangs on a crime spree from literally from coast to coast, you know, conducting robberies of NFL players' homes in Kansas City and other places across the country.
They're targeting sports stars.
You know, these illegal immigrant gangs, which are on a crime scree all over the country, it's not going to be easy to undo this damage.
That's right.
You know, Mondo, this is where the question is coming.
I've heard another show talk about this where they had talked about using the implementation of AI to be able to quickly detect people.
You know, the issue with that is obviously there'll be an infringement on our rights, our privacy, because what will they have to do to be able to know if you're not a citizen of the United States?
Know who all the citizens of the United States are, which means you'll be giving up your right to have your face scanned in order for that.
I'll just ask you this question: At what price are you willing to have peace?
If you want peace, you got to let the right administration deal with criminals the way criminals need to be dealt with.
Well, what does that look like?
Let's go to El Salvador and look at what President Bukele has done with the crime and the gangs in that country.
And you tell me what peace looks like.
You want peace at a cost.
What will that cost look like?
That's right.
Again, do you want the criminals to be dealt with like criminals are dealt with in the right way with what Bukele has done for El Salvador?
Or do you want to keep dealing the way America has dealt with criminals and look what's happening to America's greatest cities?
That's right.
Police are not able to do their jobs because there's so much red tape for them to do their jobs.
How can they even fix the problem?
You want the problem fixed.
Look at what's happening.
A God-fearing president that believes in justice to do it the right way and to deal with criminals.
You got to deal with criminals, biblically speaking, but also do it with the right way.
By the law.
Listen, if America doesn't follow the law, then how can you expect a law to be implemented?
Yeah.
The elites have gotten away with it.
President Bukele stood and told every single one of their leaders in every business that if you don't start fixing the problem, I'm going to solve it my way within 24 hours.
That's right.
You know, I want to talk about speaking of getting away with that.
I'll transition, Michael.
We only have a few minutes left in the broadcast.
Hunter Biden pardoned completely by his father, Joe Biden.
You know, I have a video from Fox News.
I want you to watch this.
America is truly owed an apology for what we've just been witnessing.
We do wonder where the apology is to the American people for the lie that we were given for the better part of a year.
Would you, will you, pardon Hunter Biden, Joe Biden?
That question also asked to Corinne Jean-Pierre.
Of course, we were told the answer was no, he would not.
And now we've seen that pardon.
So, Crane Jean-Pierre is now being asked whether or not they owe the American people an apology.
He thought about it and he weighed.
It was not an easy decision to come to.
And he put out a comprehensive, comprehensive statement.
And I would certainly, you know, offer that up to folks out there who are wondering.
I would say, please read the president's response to this in full.
I'm sure my colleague said it to be false, just very specifically.
It's not only colleagues who watch this, there's also the American people.
So to be fair, and they were told by you in July that this would not happen.
And it did.
Did you, I'm asking for yourself, not the presidency, but for yourself.
Do you feel like you are owed apology to an apology by the president's population?
Did you owe an apology to the American people?
I just laid out the president's thinking.
The president laid it out himself in his own words.
He did.
He laid out how he wrestled with this decision.
He said in his statement, as a president, as a father, he talked about how difficult it was to make this decision.
You know, what's infuriating, they don't even acknowledge reality, which is probably a pretty good tactic if you're just trying to control the news.
The problem for them, though, is at some point it just becomes delusional.
She's delusional when she refuses to acknowledge the clear reality of all of her denials.
Yeah, you know, this, if you look at the timing again, 2000, the date that he starts the pardon from, it's very clear.
This isn't about pardoning Hunter.
It's about pardoning Joe Biden.
It's about pardoning Jill Biden, who also participated in terms of enjoying the largest that was made from abroad, from our, you know, China, Ukraine, and Russia.
It includes the grandkids who were offshore.
Remember the offshore accounts that were put in the grandkids' names?
So the entire Biden scheme to sell out the country and make money off of Joe Biden's position as vice president.
That's what this was about.
This was not some selfless father looking out for his crackhead son.
This was about pardoning the entire family racket and everyone involved in it.
Darren, I ask you this, and then Michael, I have a question for you.
Blanket Pardon Policy 00:03:41
But Darren, why is the pardoning of Hunter Biden significant?
First off, delusional.
I think the people are delusional that believed him when he said it.
I mean, when he said he wasn't going to pardon him, everyone knew.
That's a lie.
This man's been lying ever since he's been in office.
He doesn't ever say the truth or tell the truth ever.
As far as the pardon goes, it was just like what she just said.
It's not a pardon just for Hunter.
It's a pardon for protection policy for all of them.
And what's amazing is this, the pardon, he didn't pardon him for a crime he was convicted of or charged with.
He gave him a blanket pardon for anything he possibly was involved with.
Yes.
And I promise you, this is probably not the only one he's going to give.
He's probably going to give a few more to the people before he gets out.
And then you have to ask yourself, why are you pardoning?
Why are you giving blanket pardons if they did nothing wrong?
Interesting.
You know, Michael, I want to ask you this same question.
What do you think this does for the United States of America, seeing that there is a blanket pardon given to Joe Biden's son for any crime that he could have committed?
Well, it reduces the legitimacy of the office.
You know, it's a stain on the presidency.
Joe Biden promised he wouldn't do this, and then he did it, and it's obviously for his son's benefit, for his family's benefit.
And even many Democrats said, hey, this is way too far.
We don't like this.
This is horrible.
What did you just do?
But when push comes to show, we always knew that Joe Biden was going to look out for his family and for His enterprise and the things that the Biden family has been involved with.
But beyond this, now it's being talked about: hey, Joe Biden might give blanket pardons, the kind of pardons Darren was just talking about to the J6 committee, to Liz Cheney.
Now they're saying that Biden might give a blanket pardon to Dr. Fauci.
Now, why would Dr. Fauci need a pardon if he didn't do anything wrong?
Of course, Dr. Fauci and so many like him committed horrible crimes against humanity, you know, that are far beyond.
I even have words to describe, but the Biden administration is talking about giving them pardons.
Now, why are they so scared?
It's because they've been using the law fair for the past four years to go after Republicans and people that supported Trump and so many of their enemies.
And now they're like, well, it's payback time.
They're going to come for us.
So they're like, no, we got to issue blanket pardons for us and everyone allied with us because they might do the same things to us that we've been doing already doing to them for the past four years.
So the Democrats are so hypocritical.
They're saying, oh, when Trump gets in, they're going to use the law to go after this and that and the other thing.
But that's the exact same thing.
The Democrats have been using the law to go after their enemies for the past four years.
So now they're running scared because they're like, we don't want to go to prison.
And you have to have a relationship with Christ.
That is the only way to live truly righteous.
Friends, you can be a good person all you want, but if you don't know Jesus, all that good is in vain.
You have to believe Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.
Accept him into your heart.
Friends, that's why we are adamant on this show about telling you, Jesus is the only way to heaven.
I'll never back down from that position.
The Bible is our final authority, and we'll never back down from that position, friend.
We must align our views solely with the word of God because God gave us the documents, the texts, for a reason, friends.
Follow The Biblical Way 00:01:53
We must go back and search the scriptures.
Do your due diligence.
If your pastor says something and you think, hmm, I don't know about that.
Friend, go to the word of God.
If it lines up with the word of God, then say, God bless my pastor for preaching the truth to me.
If it doesn't line up with the word of God, do what the Bible says.
Address him privately.
Then address your elders.
If he doesn't want to talk to you privately, then you can talk to him in other ways.
Let's follow the biblical way of doing things, friends.
This is how we are to be living as the body of Christ right now.
Follow the way the word of God has told us to do things, not our own opinion.
Because, Mondo, it's easy to pull any verse out of context and make it say whatever we want it to say, but it's hard to live sometimes living aligned with the word of God.
It's easy to do when you have the Holy Spirit guiding you, though, friend.
Have that intimate relationship.
Call us.
It's 1-888-988-1588.
We'd love to walk with you through the steps to salvation.
There's never been a better day than today.
Then give your heart to Jesus.
Michael, I want to thank you for being on the broadcast with us today.
Darren, thank you so much.
We look forward to more broadcasts with you guys.
Remember this, friends.
Your financial support is the reason that we can continue to broadcast the gospel of Jesus Christ and bring current news from a biblical perspective around the world.
So please pray about becoming a partner with us today.
It's your donation again that allows us to do this.
Bring guests like this and be candid, uncensored, and bring you the biblical truth of what's happening around the world.
Remember this, friend.
God loves you.
He really does.
Bye-bye for today.
God bless you.
Thank you, Darren.
We want to thank you for your prayers and support.
We would not be able to be here without you.
If you want to see more from us and our family, go to watch JimBakershow.com.
And as my dad always says, remember, God loves you.
