| We have a lot to cover here today. | |
| The first story we're going to be getting into is this crazy story that's coming out. | |
| We knew the judge was going to be making a decision on the affidavit that was going to be coming out today, was supposed to come out. | |
| If the judge allowed it, but the judge has actually referred it back to the DOJ to redact portions out of it, the FBI's affidavit to search Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and private safe and residence. | |
| It seems as though there's a lot more to this, and it may be not only the fact that they want to redact portions of the affidavit that would show that they had nothing to go on in the first place, but also to probably be redacting the information that would talk about who their FBI informant was, right? but also to probably be redacting the information that would So the informant is possibly somebody within Trump's family. | |
| We're going to be talking about that, stories bouncing around the Internet. | |
| Plus, we're going to get into a bunch of other news stories. | |
| There is a whole plethora of news that we're going to cover here in today's episode. | |

| Hi to everybody in the chat. | |
| I see you over there, Michael. | |
| I see you, D-Patriot. | |
| I see everybody. | |
| Let's see, is there anybody over on? | |
| Nobody yet over on D-Live in the chat, but I see you guys over in the chat. | |
| It's good to see you guys, and please chime in as we go. | |
| I want to hear from you, your thoughts, comments, concerns as we go forward, but here's the first story we're getting into. | |
| Judges ordered portions of the Trump FBI raid affidavit to be unsealed. | |
| Major media news outlets are demanding the release of the probable cause affidavit behind the FBI's raid of Trump's Florida residence. | |
| Conservative watchdog Judicial Watch also demanded the release of the affidavit. | |
| Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued the following statement in response to the Biden Justice Department's opposition to Judicial Watch's motion to unseal, saying it seems like the Biden Justice Department is telling the court what to do. | |
| Respectfully, the court should make its own independent assessment of the compelling public interest in transparency about this abusive raid. | |
| The criminal investigation the Biden administration is covering up reeks of corruption and dishonesty and is based on a reinvention of law about presidential records that is at odds with the U.S. Constitution, court rulings, federal statutes, and prior government legal positions in practice. | |
| No administration should be able to raid the home of a former president and putative presidential candidate based on secret reasons. | |
| The U.S. Constitution and federal law give unreviewable authority to President Trump to take whatever records he wishes at the end of his presidency. | |
| The Biden administration's dishonest depiction of personal records of President Trump it illicitly seized during the raid as classified is further demonstration that the raid was a brazen act of raw political abuse. | |
| and So apparently a federal judge on Thursday ordered the Justice Department to unseal only a portion of the probable cause affidavit, and the judge is allowing the Justice Department to make redactions. | |
| Oh, of course! | |
| And that's from NBC News. | |
| So... | |
| We all know what this is, right? | |
| It's fairly obvious at this point what they're trying to do. | |
| They're trying to establish this narrative, right, with the affidavit being now going to be redacted. | |
| What do you think they're going to redact? | |
| Whatever they do redact, it doesn't matter what it is. | |
| It's probably going to be the most, you know, non-explosive information you could ever imagine. | |
| That really is boot because of the point you heard Judicial Watch make saying that he's already declassified and has the authority to have confidential classified information. | |
| But with that being said, the fake news, it's all about spinning narratives before the election. | |
| So I hope everybody sees what this is. | |
| It's purely political. | |
| It's the game they play. | |
| I mean, how many times can we watch the same scenario play out over and over again before we realize, oh, this is just a tactic they have? | |
| And it's really sad because our country is so overwhelmed with fake news and disinformation from these liars in the mainstream. | |
| And they're being manipulated so extensively by big tech companies and the fake news and the censorship that's come through the government against people like myself and others who represented a true and present threat to their domination of the news narrative that... | |
| The American people don't stand a chance at this point. | |
| We've got to wake each other up. | |
| The fact of the matter is we're at this impasse in time where all of the news organizations are engaged in the same fraud against the American people. | |
| And they've been at it for years now. | |
| They used to go at it without us really noticing. | |
| But then as more and more people woke up, they had to start censoring. | |
| And it's only going to get worse from here. | |
| The authoritarianism is going to expand and it's going to get worse and worse and worse as we go. | |
| So I think that that's what we're seeing here with this story. | |
| They're going to kick this over to the DOJ. Then they're going to redact stuff. | |
| Then they're going to release it. | |
| Then Adam Schiff is going to call for an investigation. | |
| He's going to accuse Trump of being a Russian asset. | |
| All the fake phony rhinos and the criminal Democrats are going to say that Trump's basically Hitler 3.0 or 2.0. | |
| Because I guess when he was president, it was 2.0. | |
| Now it's like 3.0 that he's not president. | |
| He's even worse. | |
| He's even more scary. | |
| But yeah, it just makes this whole thing unbearable to watch because you know how this is all going to play out. | |
| I've said it before and I'll say it again. | |
| We're at a point in time where there are so many people who don't pay attention to the news. | |
| Uninformed, low IQ voters, really. | |
| They're like, I mean, and again, COVID did a huge damage to our system at large, if not only for the fact that you've got people politically active who should never be politically active in a million years. | |
| They have no idea what's going on, and they're outvoting. | |
| They believe NBC News. | |
| They believe CBS. They believe these Fox News liars. | |
| They believe the NBC liars and CNN liars. | |
| And then when you try to tell them the truth, they go, well, no. | |
| Chris Cuomo said it's not true. | |
| Brian Stelters, oh yeah, they're both gone. | |
| We'll talk about that today. | |
| But they'll always point to the fake news and be like, well, NBC said it. | |
| The New York Times reported on it. | |
| Washington Post corroborated it. | |
| Well, what have they done? | |
| They've created a monopoly on information in the United States of America. | |
| The alternative news, and it's not even alternative, the truth has been subjugated and relegated into the dark web and 4chan conspiracy boards. | |
| It's like, wait, what? | |
| We're just telling you the truth. | |
| We're just looking at things from a different perspective than maybe a corporation would look at it, than a corporation with their own interests at heart that don't have the interests of the American people at heart, that have the interest of making money at the bottom line and controlling the population and working on behalf of that have the interest of making money at the bottom line and controlling the population and working on behalf of who knows But this is a little bit of hope, a sliver. | |
| Ruling about tapes in Bill Clinton's sock drawer could impact Trump Mar-a-Lago raid debate. | |
| So I don't even want to imagine what's in Bill Clinton's sock drawer, but apparently this was a story from back when Bill Clinton was in the news all the time after the Monica Lewinsky thing, and I think it was around all the time that they were trying to get, or after that when they were trying to get his records. | |
| But according to analysis by John Solomon, Just News, a case titled Judicial Watch v. | |
| National Archives and Records Administration involved an effort by the conservative watchdog to compel the archives to forcibly seize hours of audio recordings that Clinton made during his presidency with historian Taylor Breach. | |
| The suit was rejected by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in a D.C. court after she concluded that there was no provision to seize the records in the Presidential Records Act. | |
| The ruling made other sweeping declarations, including that a, quote, president's discretion on what are personal versus official records is far reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will. | |
| Huh. | |
| Going forward, it says under the statutory statutory. | |
| Scheme established by the PRA, the decision to segregate personal materials from presidential records is made by the president during the president's term and in his sole discretion. | |
| Going forward, it says going on, it says since the president is completely entrusted with the management and even the disposal of presidential records during his time in office, it would be difficult for this court to conclude that Congress intended that he would have less authority to do what he pleases with what he considers to it would be difficult for this court to conclude that Congress intended that he So again, the. | |
| The precedent that's been set before is that Trump's got the full and total power to decide what's classified, what's not classified, what's personal record, and what's public record, or what's part of the presidential record. | |
| So, again, there is absolutely no precedent for what the FBI did. | |
| They can make up anything they want. | |
| They're not selling this in a court of law. | |
| The judge who's overseeing this, who signed off on this search warrant, Let's remember, was the lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein's top lieutenants before he became a federal judge. | |
| And now he just so happens to be a federal judge, and he's signing off on search warrants against Trump And it's not about the rule of law. | |
| It has everything to do with the fact that they want to get Trump in the court of public opinion. | |
| That's all this is, guys. | |
| It's just so they can run the fake news headlines. | |
| It's just so that they can say, Trump under investigation by FBI. Trump raided by FBI. Trump may be in possession of nuclear secrets. | |
| Trump may be giving secrets to Russia. | |
| Trump this, Trump that. | |
| That's what this all is. | |
| That's the whole game they play. | |
| And they play it, like I said, on the low IQ, low information voters who only see the headlines on NBC Nightly News. | |
| You know, when I was a kid growing up, we didn't watch a lot of news in our house, right? | |
| You know, maybe some of my family members might watch Fox News and I didn't really pay attention. | |
| But the only news I remember getting as a kid growing up It was about a half-hour show every night, and I was interested in politics. | |
| I got my degree in political science. | |
| I became more interested. | |
| When I was younger, I was into sports, and I wasn't really paying attention, and neither was most of my family. | |
| And we always got our news from the CBS or NBC or whatever nightly news. | |
| You know, that half-hour national show that goes out every night. | |
| I don't even know who's doing it now because I haven't watched it in so long. | |
| But they get up there, they tell you the headlines for the day. | |
| You know, earthquake in this place and this happened here. | |
| And then that's it. | |
| Well, now what they've realized is that... | |
| In combination with COVID and the mail-in ballots that they were able to bring in to get these low-information voters to vote, and then they restricted them with COVID, locking them down, it essentially got us to a point now where they know that if they just get the headlines they need for those stories, that half-hour show, that that's all they need. | |
| Because that's where most of the independents lie. | |
| That's where most of the disinterested people who are less likely to vote lie. | |
| And those are the people that decide elections. | |
| It's not the hardcore conservative base or the hardcore leftist base. | |
| It's always those in-between voters. | |
| And those in-between voters are the ones who don't pay attention. | |
| So all of this, to summarize everything... | |
| It's a nothing burger. | |
| There's nothing that President Trump could have been in possession of that would qualify as being a crime. | |
| It's all to get headlines in the fake news. | |
| And the real important question is, who was the person who was the FBI informant? | |
| That's the real important question here. | |
| This story came out from the Republic Brief today, saying Trump aides suspect family member is Mar-a-Lago rat. | |
| Hmm. | |
| So new reports claim that aides of President Donald J. Trump may be thinking that it was a close family member who informed the FBI on him that led up to the highly suspicious raid on the Florida home last week and shocked the nation with the brazen disregard for transparency on such an escalated response to a former president who is likely to run for president again in 2024. | |
| The biggest clue? | |
| It's this, that it was a family member who ratted Trump out, media reports claim, and they are saying this because of this right here, because FBI agents knew where to find a very specific leather case. | |
| Okay, so we talked about in yesterday's show that it's, and yes, it is all, Michael says it's all pure theater. | |
| Yes. | |
| Hi, Christina Beena. | |
| Good to see you. | |
| We talked about in yesterday's episode that essentially what you saw was the FBI going in to Mar-a-Lago to get specific things. | |
| What were they getting? | |
| Not nuclear secrets. | |
| They weren't after that. | |
| They were after, I believe, the documents that were the incriminating ones against them. | |
| The documents that may or may not have proven that certain individuals like Peter Strzok and others at the FBI were actually working with the CIA. And that those individuals were a part of the gaslighting and frame job that came out of the DOJ and the FBI following the Russia, Russia, Russia P-tape dossier hoax. | |
| And this is after, remember, it all started when they framed Trump by trying to plant evidence that would make it look as though he was having these deals with Russian banks that he wasn't having. | |
| That's how it all... | |
| It started there and ended with the P-Tape dossier. | |
| The P-Tape dossier got all the front news headlines because it was salacious and people wanted to hear, oh, P-Tape, Stormy Daniels, oh, Trump, what's he doing in his bedroom? | |
| Oh, that's sexy, it sells. | |
| But the truth is... | |
| The FBI probably knew, and this is my guess in contention, that they, and so did the intelligence agencies who obviously have embedded themselves inside of our Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is entirely wrong and corrupt as the days are, corrupt as the day is long. | |
| That they realized that Trump had that evidence and probably was holding it over their head saying, look, if you come at me with this or that, I'm going to come at you with this, I'm going to release these documents, knowing that he has the power to declassify. | |
| Because he could have dropped these documents at any time, but I think for the sake of avoiding probably civil war, he doesn't want to drop the documents that prove that Peter Strzok was working for the CIA who was planting fake evidence against him, even though he's trying to prove it in a court of law and he's trying to do it the right way. | |
| Legally and lawfully, which it would actually not be illegal for him to declassify and just drop it. | |
| It may be more reckless and irresponsible because the backlash and who knows, there's a lot of... | |
| National security is always a factor here. | |
| Our enemies would love nothing more than for us to go to war with one another because then that would just make us a sitting duck for them. | |
| So there's so many factions, factors, and everything else playing a role in this. | |
| It's just... | |
| Mountain Lace says, yeah, heard it was Kushner. | |
| That's what MSNBC said Trump's niece had said. | |
| Lots of BS. Who cares? | |
| Here's the thing. | |
| There is turmoil inside of the family. | |
| It may be Kushner. | |
| I think that's what this story alleges in the reporting. | |
| It says that people believe it was... | |
| Trump's niece, Mary, and his former attorney, Michael Cohen, have speculated that it was Jared Kushner, the former president's son-in-law, and that he is possibly the informant. | |
| I have so many questions about Trump and the company he keeps sometimes. | |
| It just baffles my mind as to who these people are and why he keeps them around. | |
| First of all, now, one thing about Jared Cushing that people can go look up if you want and just remember, wasn't he the guy who bought, I believe, the building in New York City in Manhattan, I believe it was, 666-whatever-Avenue? | |
| And there's so many questions I have. | |
| If I could sit down and ask Trump a few questions, it would just be incredible because it would be like there's so many things I would like to know, like what the thought process was. | |
| I can pretty much gather the thought process on most things. | |
| But bringing that man into your inner circle, yes, he did great with the Abraham Peace Accords. | |
| Good for him. | |
| That's fine. | |
| I'm not even going to go there. | |
| But these people do not seem like the most trustworthy people. | |
| I just think you get surrounded. | |
| And look at his daughter, Ivanka, when he was president, was still hanging out with the big tech people and still wanting to be in those social circles. | |
| I think, personally, and this is just a theory I have, I think... | |
| That when Donald Trump became president, Ivanka wanted him to be more of a liberal. | |
| She wanted him to be more of a Democrat. | |
| Not primarily because of her ideological disposition, but more overly because of her desire for social status. | |
| And that when he decided to go more populist and try to appeal to the majority of America instead of the Wall Street bankers and the big tech oligarchs, like all presidents do, like George Bush saying all the things he had to say to get in to the White House and then doing the exact opposite. | |
| Barack Obama did the same exact thing. | |
| He said all these things and then turned around and did the opposite. | |
| So when he decided not to do that, I think Ivanka... | |
| Took it personally. | |
| And I think that she has held a grudge ever since against him because of it. | |
| So I could be wrong, but I do believe that there's something... | |
| I think there's something to that. | |
| So imagine you're Ivanka Trump. | |
| Your father, in your mind, betrayed you because he was previously one of those socialite, constantly wanting social status and all that stuff. | |
| And then he becomes this populist who becomes basically the world's number one most hated man by his own choosing. | |
| He chose to do that and take that path on his own. | |
| Don't you think that Ivanka and Jared might have an axe to grind against him because Trump was essentially burning all the bridges that they had been building in their inner social circles? | |
| And that's just one thing that I think that would be a way to understand this a little bit better. | |
| Then you get into the vaccines, like you're pointing out there, can't do too tense as they can't get the vaccine stuff out of their head. | |
| Yeah, I can't either, because what's the thought process there? | |
| I think in that scenario, that was more of the intelligence services had orchestrated this plan for a long time and studied Trump's behaviors, mannerisms, and his decision-making. | |
| That was the key. | |
| They knew that if they brought something to him that could hit psychologically nerves that he wasn't ready for or prepared to undertake, he would just put his hands up and say, solve it. | |
| You solve it. | |
| You fix it. | |
| Where's Fauci? | |
| Where's the smartest guy I can find? | |
| Fauci, you fix it, right? | |
| And then, think about this. | |
| You have literally... | |
| Fauci, Pence, all those guys took the ball and ran with it. | |
| Oh yes, we got our opportunity. | |
| We're going to get Trump out now because we can fix the 2020 election. | |
| So then by the time everything was, the dust settled, Trump looked up and went, holy crap, they actually pulled this off and I couldn't even know it because of his germaphobe. | |
| He was a germaphobe and he didn't want to be around it. | |
| He wanted to be healthy. | |
| He just said, you know, fix this. | |
| Because I know that that's the kind of mentality Trump works with. | |
| It's, oh, let's fix things. | |
| Let's just fix it. | |
| You fix it. | |
| Who's the smartest guy I can find? | |
| Fix it. | |
| Which is good in a lot of ways, but when bad actors like the intelligence community and others inside of our never-ending bureaucracy and government use this against you, they weaponize your own idiosyncrasies and your own phobias against you like they did with Trump, then he was easily manipulated. | |
| That's the way I see it. | |
| So, yeah. | |
| I don't think that there's much more to say about that other than flag-waving MAGA protesters circle Palm Beach County Courthouse with heavy security as judge prepares to decide on whether to unseal Mar-a-Lago raid affidavit. | |
| Yeah, the theater continues, as you can see. | |
| And of course now they're going after Steve Bannon. | |
| Not that they weren't already, but now they're trying. | |
| The funniest thing about this story is that they found this, they've released this, it seems like this is a newer released audio recording, but it's from 2021, so this could have been out before. | |
| I just saw it today. | |
| It was popping up on all the feeds I saw. | |
| And I think they think they got Steve Bannon out, but I actually think this just makes him look cooler, in my opinion. | |
| So let's watch this clip. | |
| I'm the expert of driving negatively. | |
| I've been on 10 years on that bitch. | |
| Trump's approvals have never been higher than like 42 or 43% ever. | |
| It's within that bandwidth. | |
| Even in 16, people just had to make a decision. | |
| They didn't like Trump, but they hated Clinton more. | |
| Why? | |
| When I came in, I'm the expert of driving negatives off. | |
| I've been on 10 years on that bitch. | |
| Yeah, you did it. | |
| I just beat her every day, right? | |
| So apparently that's supposed to make Steve Bannon look bad, but... | |
| Anyway, it's the game they play, alright? | |
| And who are they going after? | |
| They're going after a lot of suburban moms a lot of the time. | |
| That's kind of a big sway vote there. | |
| They're the ones who tend to lean more liberal at times. | |
| They're the ones who are more easily manipulated. | |
| Not all. | |
| Not all. | |
| A lot of suburban moms are smart as a whip and sharp as a tack, and they see right through the BS immediately. | |
| But there is a certain demographic, the wine-sloshing women who are... | |
| Watch Real Housewives of whatever city and they watch it obsessively and they watch all those soap operas and they live in a fantasy world. | |
| Which, if you're doing that, by the way, and I'm just saying this to you... | |
| As a public service announcement to everybody out there, please don't watch that stuff. | |
| It's garbage. | |
| It's bad for your mind. | |
| It's bad for your body. | |
| It's bad for your soul. | |
| Don't get into reality TV. Don't watch these soap operas. | |
| I know a lot of people say they watch them just because their parents watched them. | |
| Not an excuse. | |
| Try to get off that stuff. | |
| It's not good for your brain. | |
| It rots your brain. | |
| Kind of like the fake news. | |
| All right, so here we are, post-millennial. | |
| This is another crazy story. | |
| Sam Harris admitting the censorship of Hunter Biden's laptop was a conspiracy to help Biden, and he stands by it. | |
| But one of the things that's even more disturbing about this is that he said, quote, this is his quote right here. | |
| This is Sam Harris saying, quote, Hunter literally could have had the corpses of children in his basement. | |
| I would not have cared. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, watch. | |
| Hunter Biden, at that point, Hunter Biden literally could have had the corpses of children in his basement. | |
| I would not have cared, right? | |
| It's like, there's nothing. | |
| First of all, it's Hunter Biden, right? | |
| It's not Joe Biden. | |
| But even if Joe Biden, like, even whatever scope of Joe Biden's corruption is, like, if we could just go down that rabbit hole endlessly and understand that he's getting kickbacks from Hunter Biden's deals in Ukraine or wherever else, right? | |
| Or China. | |
| It is infinitesimal compared to the corruption we know Trump is involved in. | |
| It's like a firefly to the sun. | |
| It doesn't even stack up against Trump University. | |
| Trump University, as a story, is worse than anything that could be in Hunter Biden's laptop, in my view. | |
| Now, that doesn't answer the people who say it's still completely unfair. | |
| To not have looked at the laptop in a timely way and to have shut down the New York Post's Twitter account, that's just a left-wing conspiracy to deny the presidency to Donald Trump. | |
| Absolutely it was. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| But I think it was warranted. | |
| And again, it's a coin toss as to whether or not that particular piece is... | |
| Sam, I'm really sorry. | |
| I was the one that said we should move on, but you've just said something I really struggled with there, which is... | |
| The kids in the basement? | |
| No, no. | |
| Fuck the kids in the basement. | |
| I'm interested in democracy. | |
| You're saying you are content with a left-wing conspiracy to prevent somebody being democratically re-elected as president. | |
| Well, no, I'm content. | |
| But the thing is, it's just not left-wing, right? | |
| So Liz Cheney is not left-wing, right? | |
| Liz Cheney is doing everything in her power. | |
| You're content with hate conspiracy to prevent somebody being democratic? | |
| No, but there's nothing... | |
| Conspiracy... | |
| It was a conspiracy out in the open, but it doesn't matter what part's conspiracy, what part's out in the open. | |
| I mean, I think it's like, if people get together and talk about what should we do about this phenomenon, it's like, if there was an asteroid hurtling toward Earth... | |
| And we got in a room together with all of our friends and had a conversation about what we could do to deflect its course, right? | |
| Is that a conspiracy? | |
| Okay, so I don't even know where to begin in there. | |
| I don't know who Sam Harris is. | |
| I guess he's a podcaster of some kind, maybe popular... | |
| Okay, where do you begin with that? | |
| First of all, this shows you how morally bankrupt these people are, how sick and depraved they are, how desensitized and just completely... | |
| How much they just have this satanic force inside of them. | |
| To me, it's... | |
| This guy's an atheist. | |
| He doesn't care. | |
| But first he says, I don't care if there's corpses of children in his basement. | |
| Okay, well, what... | |
| What normal person says that, right? | |
| What normal person says that? | |
| Then he goes on to say, well, yeah, it was a conspiracy because we don't, and then he goes on to admit that Hunter Biden was kicking back corrupt bribes to his father, and he says that doesn't matter either. | |
| He says what matters is Trump University and the other Trump crimes which he doesn't name. | |
| So what, the Russia hoax? | |
| So all the fake news lies about him? | |
| I don't know what to tell you guys. | |
| I see this stuff. | |
| I see these people. | |
| They're just brazen now. | |
| Because they know they can get away with it. | |
| They can actually come out in public without any fear of retribution from anybody. | |
| I mean, besides what they know they'll get as far as blowback on the right from the conservative. | |
| But that would be minor compared to the adulation and the congratulation that they'll get from the left-wing media machine. | |
| That'll be like, yes, Sam Harris said it, finally. | |
| We don't care if there's corpses of kids in Hunter Biden's basement. | |
| We don't care if you know that we were openly engaged in a conspiracy to remove a democratically elected president. | |
| We don't care. | |
| That's what they're saying. | |
| They don't care. | |
| They... | |
| This is where it gets dangerous, guys, because what do you do with this? | |
| What do you do with an attitude like this, where individuals are so brazen in their criminal ideology that they are literally just disconnected from anything that's remotely close to what the law is or what decency and civility is in society? | |
| This guy just came out and said, now granted, it says he's some popular atheist host, so he's a godless, satanic person to begin with, because without God, you are a part of the satanic agenda. | |
| But beyond that, think about this. | |
| He just said he didn't care if there were corpses of children in Hunter Biden's basement. | |
| Help me out here, guys. | |
| Help me out here. | |
| Because I can't... | |
| I'm getting to the point now where it's like... | |
| I can see now why Tim Pool goes on and talks about Civil War all the time. | |
| Because how do you, how do you, what do you do with these people? | |
| What do you do with that? | |
| And tell me, you know, because it's almost like they get away with murder, literally. | |
| They brag about getting away with murder, literally. | |
| And then they look at you and they say, well, don't incite violence. | |
| Don't incite violence. | |
| This guy just said he didn't care of Hunter Biden's massacring children. | |
| That's, what is that? | |
| Could you imagine if a Republican or anybody on our side said, I don't care if Donald Trump's got a bunch of dead kids in his basement. | |
| It's like, wait, what'd you say? | |
| As long as we can get Hillary Clinton, it's like, wait, what? | |
| See, because these people don't play by the rules. | |
| They don't play by the rules. | |
| And that's the craziest but most scary part of all this. | |
| I know that there's one thing that protects us more than anything else, and that's God. | |
| And we have God on our side because you look straight into the depths of what evil looks like in our country today. | |
| That's evil. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And that's what they're trying to do. | |
| But he's out. | |
| This is on YouTube. | |
| I got banned from YouTube for literally saying that Hunter Biden's corrupt and the laptop's real. | |
| And that was just probably among other things. | |
| I'm sure they kicked me off for several other reasons. | |
| But this guy is saying, I don't care if he's murdering children and bribing his father from our foreign adversaries. | |
| And he's, oh, it's fine, it's fine, no, that's fine. | |
| That's in our standards. | |
| As long as it's a Democrat winning at the end of the day, we don't care about murdering children and corruption and bribery and our government being overtaken by our foreign adversaries. | |
| As long as it's on the right side of the political aisle. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Mountain Lace says, is DeSantis a Trojan horse? | |
| Things too good to be true? | |
| Thank you for that cookie, too. | |
| Yeah, DeSantis, to me, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. | |
| He just reminds me too much of George Bush, you know, saying and doing all the right things. | |
| I like Carrie Lake a little bit, even though she's got some things that I've, you know, been about. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Politicians... | |
| You have to understand, to be a politician in the first place, you've got to have a little bit of a... | |
| Let's just say a streak of something that I don't think is savory or honest. | |
| There's no such thing as an honest politician. | |
| And... | |
| But I mean, it's the best of what you got. | |
| I think Trump's the best of what we got right now. | |
| I really do. | |
| But I do think he's made some big mistakes, and we're going to talk about that in a second here. | |
| But again, here's another story. | |
| Joe Biden's nothing on his public schedule again today. | |
| Continues to hide in Delaware basement. | |
| Well, of course, we're coming up on an election. | |
| What else does Joe Biden do? | |
| He goes into his basement and hides. | |
| What are we doing here? | |
| That's exactly what this is. | |
| I just still can't get over that Sam Harris guy just saying openly that he didn't care that if Hunter Biden had corpses of children in his basement and if the election was rigged against Trump even though Joe Biden is taking bribes from our foreign adversaries. | |
| I mean, somebody asked me about Candace Owens. | |
| Michael did. | |
| I like Candace Owens. | |
| There's some people I like that I would say would look good in office. | |
| I don't think Candace is running yet. | |
| She said that she might, she might not. | |
| We need more people to run, but like I said, to be in politics, you have to have a streak in you that's Unsavory at best. | |
| Anyway, so Joe Biden's hiding in his basement. | |
| It's the run-up to the midterm. | |
| And then this happened. | |
| Speaking of DeSantis, Trump must come out against the deadly COVID vaccine before it's too late. | |
| This is from Infowars. | |
| Alex Jones has come out. | |
| And I saw this video today. | |
| I don't have the actual video itself because it was on social media. | |
| And I just kind of scrolled by it. | |
| But I did watch it. | |
| It was a little video where it talked about how Alex Jones has come out publicly. | |
| Now he's endorsing DeSantis over Trump. | |
| And, okay, that's fine. | |
| You know, you got to take the best of what you got. | |
| But I do think it would serve... | |
| See, the problem is this. | |
| Trump can't come out and talk about the vaccine negatively because it was him who started it. | |
| It was him who pushed Operation Warp Speed. | |
| It was him who allowed himself to be duped by the powers that be around him into doing all these things. | |
| The only thing he could say that would give me... | |
| Honestly, more respect for Trump is if he said, I was tricked. | |
| I was lied to. | |
| Fauci lied to me. | |
| Pence lied to me. | |
| Walensky lied to me. | |
| The whole establishment lied to me. | |
| They played my emotions. | |
| They played my fears. | |
| They played me for a fiddle. | |
| And at least then I would have respect for him that he could admit when he's wrong. | |
| But I think that Trump has this thing where he believes wholeheartedly that any sign of weakness from his part... | |
| He can't show weakness. | |
| He can't show humility in a certain sense because he knows his enemies will capitalize on it and say, and then they'll go, oh look, he admitted that he did this and he made a mistake. | |
| But... | |
| I do think to the people... | |
| Because, remember, his calculation is not based on you and me. | |
| His calculation is based on the uninformed, low-IQ voter who turns on NBC News every afternoon for a half hour on weekdays and that's it. | |
| That's his calculus, remember? | |
| His calculus is not, oh, should I come... | |
| He understands that we know the vaccine's bad. | |
| He has to understand that by now. | |
| I'm sure he does. | |
| But his rationale is basically, if I come out and say that the vaccine is bad and that I was duped and I was had by the people around me, then they're going to take that in the fake news and they're going to play it on a loop from here until 2024 saying that, look, he can't lead. | |
| Look, he's been duped. | |
| Look, he's feeble. | |
| Look, he's weak-minded. | |
| Look, he's been deceived. | |
| So you have to understand, because no matter what, at the end of the day, the whole COVID thing was to get him out of office. | |
| And to bring in some authoritarian control measures in our country. | |
| So if you really take a look back, take a step back and look at this, you understand very quickly that his calculus is based primarily on the fact that he needs the uninformed, low IQ, not even low IQ, but uninformed, the person who's not paying attention, that voter, he needs them to see him as a strong man. | |
| Because the strength and charisma is what he believes is what convinces people to vote for him in the first place. | |
| Those who aren't paying attention, at least. | |
| So, I don't know what to say. | |
| I think, you know... | |
| I don't know. | |
| That's just the way I look at it. | |
| Speaking of CDC and Rochelle Walensky, they've now come out and admitted that major COVID-19 mistakes, but they plan to restructure the agency, calling it a reset. | |
| Wait, what? | |
| How is nobody reporting? | |
| How is this not front-page news across the country? | |
| The CDC just comes out and says, yeah, we got it wrong, but oh well, we'll start over. | |
| Reset. | |
| What is this, like a Nintendo 64? | |
| They just hit the reset button and they're like, oh yeah, nothing happened there. | |
| Go back to that save point in 2016 before Trump took over. | |
| If you guys don't get that, that's a video game reference. | |
| So... | |

| Helps me out big time. | |
| Today, the scripture of the day is found here on my true social account at justinformedtalk.com. | |
| And we're going into the book of Matthew. | |
| Great, powerful scripture. | |
| And this is one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible, actually, as far as inspirational from Jesus. | |
| And it's Matthew 11, 28-30. | |
| It says, Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. | |
| All of you, take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. | |
| For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. | |
| Wow, that's a powerful message. | |
| We're going to talk about that and finish Matthew chapter 11 in today's God's Grace is Greater segment. | |
| You know we're going through the whole book of Matthew, the whole gospel of Matthew, chapter by chapter, bit by bit, and today's going to be a good one. | |
| So I hope you guys stick around for that. | |
| And one more thing, guys. | |
| Did you know that if you go to MyPillow.com and use promo code CRAIG, you can get amazing discounts? | |
| I brought something for you guys. | |
| Check this out. | |
| I brought one of my own MyPillows. | |
| Now, you feel that? | |
| You see the MyPillow quality, the stitching? | |
| Go to MyPillow.com, use promo code CRAIG. You guys can see it right here, right there. | |
| This is amazingly comfortable. | |
| Now, I have some advice for you, a couple things. | |
| First of all, there's more than just pillows. | |
| There's slippers, there's sandals, mattress toppers, clothing, pet accessories. | |
| There's just so much stuff. | |
| Bed toppers. | |
| Go check it out. | |
| Use promo code CRAIG, but... | |
| When you get your MyPillowPill, one thing you want to do is throw it immediately into the dryer for 15 minutes. | |
| That will give it a nice fluff to it and kind of release all the whatever. | |
| Because it comes, as you can see right here, like that, wrapped up in a vacuum seal bag. | |
| And so it has to kind of unload. | |
| And secondly, make sure you know what kind of pillow you like in the first place. | |
| When you buy your pillow, make sure if you like a softer pillow, a medium pillow, or a firm pillow, make sure you know that beforehand so you don't get the wrong one. | |
| But other than that, go check out MyPillow.com, promo code CRAIG. Okay, so let's see. | |
| What other stories do we have on the docket? | |
| Here we are. | |
| Joe Biden called Liz Cheney after she lost her primary race in Wyoming. | |
| Why not? | |
| I mean, the left is literally coming out and saying they don't care if... | |
| Hunter Biden's got dead children in his basement and they don't care that he's bribing his father on behalf of our foreign enemies abroad. | |
| And now it's like Joe Biden's calling Liz Cheney, the Republican, after she loses her primary in a massive shellacking and telling me or telling her, oh, it's okay. | |
| It's okay, Liz. | |
| Don't worry. | |
| We'll have you run for president. | |
| Come on, man. | |
| Stay in the race a little longer. | |
| Because this shows you this is a uniparty. | |
| They've brainwashed us into believing that there's a left and a right in the country. | |
| There's not. | |
| There's one party, and that is the uniparty, and we are the outsiders who are fighting politically to get into the realm. | |
| And the more we push them out, the more aggressive and hard their attacks are going to come against us. | |
| So remember that. | |
| Oh, Trump didn't manufacture it. | |
| He didn't invent it. | |
| Nope, he didn't. | |
| I agree with that. | |
| Look, that's why I say if I had to endorse somebody right now for president, I'd endorse Trump. | |
| So, I'm not saying don't endorse Trump, because I'd like to think that he's learned from the mistakes he's made, and that's a good thing. | |
| Look, we're all not perfect. | |
| We all make mistakes. | |
| If you think you don't make mistakes, you know, sorry, you do. | |
| And I just, I don't know. | |
| Lauren says, I hope she tries to run for president just so we can see Trump and Liz debate each other. | |
| That would be pretty hilarious, actually. | |
| Another thing here, dark money groups are pushing vote-by-mail, of course, just like before the 2020 election. | |
| We need more vote-by-mail. | |
| And again, this is just a way to cheat in our elections. | |
| So you can read... | |
| I just referenced that story briefly, and if I just reference a story or a headline without going through it in detail, it's for time, and I leave everything after the episode. | |
| I put it down in the description, all the links to all the articles. | |
| So if you want to go read them, just go down in the description, and you can find links to everything, all the sponsors, all my social media. | |
| There's a merch store where you can actually buy... | |
| These t-shirts that I'm wearing. | |
| Yeah, everything's in the description below. | |
| And the links go up after the video. | |
| Or after the live stream, at least. | |
| Another story here. | |
| DOJ, FBI sued for $50 million by General Flynn over Spygate Probe. | |
| And I hope he wins. | |
| Couldn't think of a more deserving guy to win. | |
| And this! | |
| The potato man is no more! | |
| CNN is sans stelter! | |
| No more round-headed buffoon for you to muse at every day. | |
| Yes, he's gone, folks. | |
| They've canceled his show and he's quit. | |
| Or they either fired him or he quit. | |
| Either way, he's gone. | |
| It's not a win, because he's just going to end up on MSNBC or some other crappy... | |
| You know what I think he's going to do? | |
| He'll probably end up on something like The Young Turks or something. | |
| Our new correspondent, Cenk Uygur, the guy who promotes animal bestiality, will be like, let's have Brian Stelter come on, and he'll be our correspondent host. | |
| Okay. | |
| Other stories. | |
| U.S. First, most of the food recalls during the pandemic are actually foods being diverted to government storage bunkers for the rich and elite. | |
| Now, the author of this article tries to make this claim that all of these food-related recalls that we're seeing lately is really so that the rich and the elite and the government as well can store this food into bunkers so that if there's a massive emergency or something... | |
| That they have first access if there's a nuclear war, if there's another COVID-type pandemic or whatever. | |
| It's reasonable. | |
| I don't know if he makes the best argument I've ever seen in my life, but I will say this, that... | |
| It's not without reason to look at these things skeptically and say, well, is it possible? | |
| Because, I mean, then you have stories like this, where you see out here in California, the White House has announced devastating water cuts for Arizona and Nevada while making sure California keeps its current allotment. | |
| Now, this has a lot of... | |
| I wish I had that many mason jars. | |
| Yeah. | |
| If I had that many mason jars, we'd be canning and pickling all day long. | |
| I'll show you my garden sometime. | |
| Maybe on the channel Crespies I do. | |
| But What this story is telling us is that Arizona and Nevada are being cut out of the loop when it comes to water allotment because... | |
| And I think this is a reasonable thing, although I don't agree with it. | |
| I don't think that you should punish other states because some states are bigger abusers of water. | |
| But water resources are going to be the major factor in all of this. | |
| Look, food shortages are going to happen. | |
| It's just a matter of time. | |
| If it's not today, it may be tomorrow or it may be sometime off in the future. | |
| But... | |
| Here in California, I remember last time I said that we grow most of the food that you guys eat at the grocery store. | |
| So it's like, and it's true, because I live out in kind of the Central Valley of California. | |
| And look, this is where all the major corporate farms are. | |
| Big farm, big agriculture is California. | |
| We grow most. | |
| If you go to the grocery, and I'm not talking about on the shelves necessarily, but go to the produce section and look at the labels and see where that food's grown. | |
| I'm going to tell you, the majority of it's probably grown here in California where I'm at. | |
| So we need the water. | |
| But somebody in Nebraska got really mad at me. | |
| They were like, how dare you say that about California? | |
| Nebraska grows all the food. | |
| And I was like, okay. | |
| Yeah, you guys probably grow a lot of food too. | |
| Bread basket, right? | |
| It's not a contest. | |
| I'm just saying that if you like having year-round produce in your grocery store, you probably want to make sure that we have enough water to keep growing it. | |
| That's all I'm saying. | |
| That's all I'm saying. | |
| But that, you know, speaking of that, just to throw it out there, you guys see I have my other sponsor here, or my other affiliate, My Patriot Supply. | |
| If you guys try them out, you go to preparewithcraig.com. | |
| I don't want to make this like a big infomercial, but look, you get $50 off your four-week food supply. | |
| You know, just stock up. | |
| I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. | |
| So, go to preparewithcraig.com, and that way, if you're in the market, I always say buy it when you can. | |
| Don't go out and, you know, buy it like the end of the world's tomorrow. | |
| But stock up. | |
| This stuff lasts forever. | |
| I'm going to do an episode of Crespies where I cook some of this stuff, and I'm going to tell you, like, how good the home-style potato soup is. | |
| That's one of the ones I want to do, along with some oatmeal and everything else. | |
| So, Yeah, just throwing that out there. | |
| And if you want to see where I'm going to be playing those episodes, you can go over here to Crespi's on YouTube. | |
| Actually, the funny thing is if you actually go to the search bar on YouTube and type just informed talk in the YouTube, just informed talk, then you hit search, you'll actually come to Crespi's. | |
| So, for whatever that's worth. | |
| YouTube. | |
| YouTube. | |
| Somebody said YouTube or Rumble. | |
| I'm trying to keep it on YouTube right now. | |
| Look, it's not because I love YouTube. | |
| It's because it's the only place where it can actually, if it does take off, make enough money to generate revenue to help keep this channel going. | |
| So it's basically me just trying to build a war chest to keep doing what I'm doing. | |
| And it's something I do in my spare time where I cook delicious meals and I show you how to cook for yourself. | |
| But I'm going to start branching out into different kind of videos where I'd love the idea of doing these survival foods where I cook them and I taste them and I tell you guys how they are. | |
| Because a lot of people like to use these things for like camping and stuff, so it's like you want to kind of taste it. | |
| But a lot of people buy this stuff and they throw it in a closet and they don't think about it for 20 years. | |
| Or they don't think about it until there's an actual emergency, like a flood or an earthquake or something, you know, a hurricane, whatever. | |
| So with that being said, another story here, YouTube Thought Police are removing congressional debates now. | |
| So it starts with Alex Jones, and then it goes to the QAnon community, because it's dangerous, to now where YouTube just unilaterally removes congressional debates. | |
| And look, like I said before, I don't use YouTube because I like YouTube. | |
| I use YouTube because it is ubiquitous for videos. | |
| It's the second largest search engine in the world, next to Google, I think. | |
| Which we're going to talk about how the internet's being censored. | |
| The UN is recruiting over 100,000 digital first responders, that's a funny title, to push establishment COVID narrative. | |
| Well, how about that? | |
| Huh. | |
| It gets even crazier. | |
| Google continues editorializing searches by adding content advisories to search results and... | |
| If you actually look at this story, massive Democrat bot farms revealed, influencing elections, war, and racial tension, 51 billion social media impressions since 2019, and they're gearing up for November and 2024. | |
| And then, on top of it, the kicker of it all, go to Google, go to DuckDuckGo, go to Bing, go to all the big search engines, right? | |
| Not as much Brave, though. | |
| That's why I like Brave browser, because their search engine is a little bit better. | |
| But you'll notice, type anything in. | |
| Type January 6th in. | |
| See what pops up on Google. | |
| It's the same results every time. | |
| You have to go through dozens and dozens of pages to get anything that's not a part of the mainstream narrative, like mainstream narrative, the fake news narrative. | |
| Why? | |
| Well, because Google realized since 2016, pretty much, that they have to fix information. | |
| They have to delete the Internet. | |
| They're deleting everything out of existence on the Internet. | |
| You're allowed to exist on the Internet, but you are not promoted. | |
| You're not going to be able to be searched unless you're directly searched for. | |
| And even in that case, a lot of times, they'll delete you out of the search registry. | |
| The whole thing is fixed. | |
| It's fixed. | |
| It's as fixed as it could get. | |
| And it's only going to get worse, ladies and gentlemen. | |
| The more these AI bots are perfected, the more all this technology is perfected, this censorship is going to get worse, mark my words, before it ever gets better. | |
| So be prepared. | |
| And be aware. | |
| That's what I say. | |
| Be aware. | |
| When you go online and you look something up, just know that they're feeding you lies. | |
| And in certain cases, depending on what you're looking up, probably not. | |
| But if it has anything to do with politics or anything to do with science and medical advice, not only in the medical advice one's scary, because it's double-edged. | |
| A, they're going to give you the stuff that's probably not going to help you, right? | |
| Because big pharma, they want you sick. | |
| But B, they're tracking all of that. | |
| If you put in a search for a symptom that you're having, guess what? | |
| That goes in a database. | |
| And then who uses that database? | |
| And to what nefarious ends are they going to use that information to weaponize it against the public at large? | |
| And against you as an individual. | |
| As these AIs continue to develop and advance, they're going to start targeting you with different things. | |
| It gets dark and bleak, so I don't want to spend too much time on this, but... | |
| Yeah, ProtonMail is good. | |
| ProtonMail is good as well, J Prime says. | |
| And yeah, so that's that. | |
| But the censorship never ends. | |
| Lips of TikTok has been suspended from Facebook. | |
| Violation of community standards. | |
| Well, welcome to the club. | |
| I mean, it's only a matter of time before everything that we... | |
| Do is either censored, banned, or just straight-up manipulated. | |
| The Internet used to be the Wild West, but as these AI systems have grown and the liberal cultists have taken over the big tech industries and infiltrated them heavily, that's where we're at, folks. | |
| All right, a few more stories before we get into our God's Graces Greater segment. | |
| This one's crazy. | |
| Los Angeles strippers are attempting to unionize for protection from sexual harassment. | |
| Now, though I'm not for the sexual harassment of any women, whether they're prostitutes or not, only in California and L.A. would you ever see, well, maybe in Las Vegas or something like that, but only in the liberal hellhole cities would you see a story like this. | |
| How about instead of attempting to unionize, how about you guys get together and try to find a different line of work? | |
| Stop being whores. | |
| Stop selling your body, selling your flesh as if it's a commodity. | |
| This is why our society is so broken. | |
| And this is what they want. | |
| You know why a guy like Sam Harris gets on a podcast and says he doesn't care if there are corpses of children in Hunter Biden's basement or whether or not Joe Biden's taking bribes through him from our enemies abroad? | |
| It's because they live in this Aleister Crowley do-what-thou-wilt satanic world where the only things that matter to them is lust and their pleasure and their hedonism and nothing about that Everything about that is of the devil. | |
| It's satanic. | |
| And that's what they embrace. | |
| They are living the satanic lifestyle. | |
| And the sooner we realize that this battle is not left and right, it's not conservative versus liberal, it's not any of that stuff. | |
| It is good versus evil. | |
| These people are evil. | |
| And they've convinced a generation of young women that selling their bodies on the streets is good. | |
| And hey, why not? | |
| They should unionize. | |
| Because that's good too, right? | |
| I don't know. | |
| God is great. | |
| And I know he can save us from all of this. | |
| But the culture makers here, like Jay-Z and who is that? | |
| Is that Reese Witherspoon? | |
| Yeah, they got PPP loans, remember those, from COVID, and they've all just been forgiven. | |
| They got a loan from the government, and the government's just, now the Democrats are in charge, oh, we just canceled the loan. | |
| But guess what? | |
| They're going to hire 80,000 IRS agents to come after you and me if we don't dot every I and cross every T on our tax returns. | |
| Or if our tax accountant gets one thing wrong, they're going to be coming after you with the full force. | |
| They're going to have those frumpy freaks from that video I showed you yesterday coming after you. | |
| Yeah, with guns and handcuffs. | |
| No tasers, because they mean business. | |
| But if you're a celebrity who has created a society where strippers in LA are unionizing because sex industry work has been glorified by people like Jay-Z, and you are the creator of that, and you paid and bought into the satanic agenda, the Luciferian agenda, all that stuff, then of course you get free money. | |
| As the Seattle City Council is making it a misdemeanor to encroach on individuals seeking abortions or transgender care, Well, you know, what can I say? | |
| They don't want us to be able to see because usually you could pray for these people. | |
| That's what happens outside of a lot of these clinics and abortion clinics and other things. | |
| You get people that protest that pray and they actually convince people not to do these atrocious things to themselves. | |
| But you can't have that because then you won't have more cult members to go commit evil, vile acts on your behalf. | |
| As you have psychotic people like this, this pediatric endocrinologist from Yale who is coming out and saying, yeah, kids as young as three years old should be treated with whatever we have in their gender journey. | |
| Our society is just so broken. | |
| And finally here, Trader Joe's manager threatens customer for talking about COVID and religion with employees but has no idea the customer was recording the whole conversation. | |
| Yeah, that's the society we live in. | |
| Yeah, Joyful Lily says she's never going to watch another movie with her again. | |
| Miss Let Us Kill Babies. | |
| Not that I watch movies much anymore. | |
| Yeah, I know. | |
| I don't watch movies anymore either. | |
| I'm trying to find good, decent movies to watch, and it's so hard. | |
| If you guys have any suggestions, throw them in the comments below. | |
| Alright, but that brings us to our God's Grace is Greater segment because this speaks directly to where we're at. | |
| Jesus is, he knows. | |
| We know he knows, but he knows. | |
| And it's really divine how these things line up where I do stories and then they line up with the scripture that we're in. | |
| Because I didn't really start or pick any of this. | |
| I started on chapter 1 and I just said, we're going to get through the whole thing. | |
| Matthew. | |
| So we're going through the Gospel of Matthew, and today we're finishing chapter 11, and this is Jesus after he talked to the disciples of John the Baptist and told them that he was who they thought he was, which was the Messiah. | |
| This is how he goes on to talk to the crowd that had gathered there after John the Baptist's disciples leave to go tell John the Baptist about what Jesus had told them. | |
| So let's read chapter 11, 16 through 11. | |
| Chapter 11, 16 through 30. | |
| Somebody said I'm muted, but I don't think I am. | |
| If I am, Father Larry, it might be you muted. | |
| You might want to unmute. | |
| Check your volume thing. | |
| Because I look like on my end that I'm coming through. | |
| Alright, so this is it. | |
| An unresponsive generation. | |
| To what should I compare this generation? | |
| It's like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to each other, we played the flute for you, but you didn't dance. | |
| We sang a lament, but you didn't mourn. | |
| For John did not come eating or drinking, and they say, he has a demon. | |
| The son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners, yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds. | |
| Then he proceeded to denounce the towns where most of his miracles were done because they did not repent. | |
| Woe to you, Teresa, woe to you, Bethsaida. | |
| For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago. | |
| But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. | |
| And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted in heaven? | |
| You will go down to Hades. | |
| For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until today. | |
| But I tell you, it will be more tolerable in the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you. | |
| At that time Jesus said, Yes, Father, because this was your good pleasure, all things have been entrusted to me by my Father. | |
| Wow. | |
| - No. | |
| When I share these words with you, I share them because I want us to understand what Jesus is trying to convey here. | |
| He starts off by comparing them to children who, whether they're happy or sad, are never satisfied. | |
| He compares them to children who say they played the flute and they didn't dance. | |
| They lamented in song and they didn't mourn. | |
| So Jesus is basically admonishing them, saying, look, I don't understand what's wrong with you guys. | |
| You're acting like children. | |
| And he's talking about the people who thought they were the most wise among them. | |
| Because he goes on and says, when John came, he wasn't eating or drinking. | |
| He was fasting and he was eating locusts and honey and he was doing all kinds of crazy stuff. | |
| And they said he has a demon, right? | |
| Even though he was making the way for Jesus. | |
| And Jesus said that he's a prophet above all prophets because he prophesied Jesus' coming, the ultimate Messiah, But then he says, they looked at the Son of Man eating and drinking, doing the opposite of John the Baptist, and they said, look, a glutton and a drunkard. | |
| He's friends with tax collectors. | |
| But then he says, yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds. | |
| Well, I mean, he basically says the proof's in the pudding. | |
| But he goes on to denounce these towns where he performed miracles, and he says to them, look, I performed these miracles in you, and yet none of you repented. | |
| You saw the glory of God. | |
| You saw the Son of Man come and heal the sick to bring the dead back to life. | |
| You saw me perform all these miracles, yet still you do not believe. | |
| So he says to them, do you think you'll end up in heaven? | |
| He says, no, you'll go to hell. | |
| Go to Hades. | |
| Because he says even if the miracles that he had done were done in Sodom, or all these other cities that he names here, That they would have repented and thrown off their fancy clothes and worn sackcloth and rubbed ashes on themselves to show their repentance for what they had done. | |
| But he says, for if the miracles were done in Sodom, it would still be here today. | |
| How about that? | |
| He says, Sodom would still be here. | |
| But he says, but I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you. | |
| And you know why? | |
| It's because he says, I was here. | |
| In Sodom, yeah, they had warning. | |
| Yeah, they should have listened. | |
| But they didn't have Jesus, the Messiah there, performing miracles in front of them. | |
| But these people did. | |
| And they chose not to believe. | |
| And Jesus says, woe to you. | |
| But then he praises his father and says that he and his father have a relationship that nobody can compare to. | |
| And that he's the one who chooses whom the son desires to reveal. | |
| To his father. | |
| He's basically saying that you can't have a relationship with my father unless you come through me. | |
| But then, he gives us the hope that we're all looking for. | |
| This is the hope. | |
| He says, Wow. | |
| I love that verse. | |
| And there's something that's written here about it that I wanted to share. | |
| This is a scholar, Dr. | |
| Jeremiah Wright, who analyzes this verse, and I love what he says. | |
| He says, One of the most gracious commands in the Bible is Jesus' invitation to come. | |
| He speaks to all who are oppressed by routine, monotony, overwork, responsibility, or tension. | |
| Those who are heavy laden endure something that is laid on them from an outside source, causing what we would today call burnout. | |
| Jesus' form of rest is not absence of work, but rejuvenation and refreshment. | |
| And I love that, because that's what Jesus is saying. | |
| Are you tired? | |
| Are you weary? | |
| Have you been traveling a long road and nothing seems to change? | |
| Do you feel like sometimes you get up and you're worrying just to worry because there's so many things stacking up? | |
| I know I have days like that. | |
| It's not easy. | |
| But what do I do to heal myself from that? | |
| I go to God in prayer. | |
| And that's what we have to do. | |
| We have to go to Jesus. | |
| Because look, He tells us. | |
| He says, in no uncertain terms, He says, My yoke is easy and my burden is light. | |
| So he says, come to him and take up his yoke. | |
| And you know what a yoke is? | |
| If you guys don't know, a yoke is like a harness. | |
| It was like a thing you put on an ox or something that would help it pull either a plow or a cart. | |
| But basically it's a connection that is implying that there's a weight put on your shoulders. | |
| But he says that his weight is light and easy. | |
| And there is a very light burden from it. | |
| So you lay your burden down at the foot of the cross and trust in Jesus to come. | |
| He will. | |
| Whatever you're going through, He will. | |
| So I thank you guys for watching this episode and God bless you all. | |
| Let's end it with prayer and then we'll wrap it up in the comments or in the live chat. | |
| Lord and Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. | |
| Thank you for all your many blessings. | |
| Lord, help us to come to you. | |
| Help us to lay our burdens down before you. | |
| Help us to let go of the things that we hold onto so dearly in this world and latch onto you and trust in you. | |
| And no matter what we're going through, whether it's health issues or it's family issues or it's work issues or it's just issues that we can't even figure out, Lord, we pray that you'll help heal those things. | |
| You'll show us the way forward. | |
| You'll comfort us. | |
| Help us help others. | |
| Help us be the people you need us to be in this world because we know, Lord, that if we become those people, the man or the woman that you need in this world, then we'll be exactly what everyone else needs and ourselves, who we need ourselves. | |
| So help us do that, Lord, and we pray that this fallen world comes to you through us in any way that we can help and that we come closer to you every day. | |
| We thank you for this day and every day. | |
| In Jesus' name, amen. | |
