Time Text
Welcome to my show!
Hi, and welcome to another episode of Just Informed News.
Happy Monday to everybody out there.
We have a big week ahead, I'm sure.
A lot of news breaking.
We're going to be covering it all.
I hope you guys had a great weekend and that you stayed blessed throughout it and that you're back and ready to get back into the fray here, whether it's with your work or you're just here hanging out and you want to hear the news.
We have a lot of stories to cover.
We're going to ask the question, what is this plant?
I don't know.
I'm not giving you a black pill here, guys.
I'm not trying to go negative because I am positive that God is in control of all of this.
But there's a lot of stuff happening that just doesn't seem to add up or make sense.
And we're going to talk about what that is.
We're going to start by talking about John Durham, some stuff coming out with his Dechenko prosecution, which is going seemingly off the rails.
We're also going to talk about Dr. Fauci now announcing his retirement.
So he's going to walk off into the sunset and go live on a, you know, probably down in South Florida somewhere and get a nice little house on the beach.
And nothing's ever going to come of that, it seems.
Plus, we have Joe Biden going back into his basement to hide ahead of the 2022 election.
And we're going to talk about Donald Trump and why he won't come out against the vaccines and everything else in between, plus a bunch of news stories that people are missing, what's going on in Ukraine, what happened in Russia with this assassination attempt on a Russian Putin ally whose daughter was killed in a car bomb what happened in Russia with this assassination attempt on a Russian Putin ally whose daughter was killed in We're going to cover that plus a plethora of other news that you guys know the fake news media doesn't want you to see or have access to.
That's why you're here with me.
You know, the funny thing is people, you know, we talk a lot and I see things that are interesting.
I like to share them with people like this.
One of the things is people go, why should I watch your show?
And I'm like, well, to me, it's something I see.
And if you watch this show enough, you'll see over time that the stories that we cover here on this show, a lot of times will come up in the news days, weeks later.
And it's not that I'm, like, saying tomorrow's news today.
I'm just saying I'm on this every day, getting the news that they don't want you to see or have access to, and that for the most part, the other news organizations are kind of falling behind and catching up with.
So that's why I think it's worthwhile.
It's like the value proposition, why you're here.
Plus, I know you guys are here for God's Grace is Great, our segment where we talk about God's grace now is truly greater.
But...
That's a whole aside.
So we have a lot of news to cover.
Before we do that, I would be remiss if I didn't say thank you to the sponsor of this show.

And thank you to everybody watching live.
If you guys are here live on Rumble, shout-out to Rumble.
Everybody there, Hoffdude, DJ Robo, I see you guys.
Everybody over on DLive.
And everybody over on Foxhole, I'm watching the chat.
So if you guys have anything you want to interject while we're doing the live show, put it in the live chat.
That way I can see it.
And I noticed that a lot of you guys on Rumble like to go down into the comments and start leaving comments.
And I don't usually check the comments as we're going.
So if you want to interject something in the live show, use the live chat feature.
On Rumble, it's called Rumble Rants.
On Foxhole, it's pretty obvious.
It's the chat comment section.
And on DLive, it's the comment section as well.
So, but on Rumble, if you want to interject something while we're going, leave it in the live chat as we're going live.
And yeah, there you go.
So let's get in the first story here.
Durham's lead prosecutor withdrawals from Dechenko case. - Yep, it's an interesting story here Apparently, the lead counsel, Andrew DePhillips, who was the head of the Michael Sussman case, which you saw was a flop, that, you know, a lot of people say it was to enter evidence into the official records so that it could be used in later trials, and that Sussman was just a low-level guy and we're trying to go after the high-level people.
Okay, I'm not, again, I'm not here to blackpill.
I'm here to just look at this stuff skeptically.
Because a lot of people give you so much flack, they're like, you reported on Cuba, you don't trust the plan anymore?
It's like, well, no.
First of all, plans change over time.
Even if there was this grand master plan that's happening behind the scenes and it involves devolution, continuity of government, and it involves everything has to get worse before it gets better, okay.
Why does it have to get worse, is my question.
It has to get worse so that we get upset enough to actually start challenging the narratives and challenging the status quo.
Because that's the only reason you would need devolution and continuity of government.
That's the whole point, is waking up the masses and challenging them, making them think critically about the things that are happening, and then challenging the powers that be, because the deep state holds the ultimate power as long as the masses are asleep and complicit.
And I mean challenging them legally and lawfully.
I'm not here to promote violence.
I'm not doing that.
I'm just saying that when you see a story like this, it kind of makes you think, huh, what is John Durham doing?
Is he just running the clock out on all this?
I mean, you guys let me know what you think in the chat, but I see it from the perspective of this.
We have Andrew DePhillips withdrawing from the case late Sunday evening.
The Washington Times reported DePhillips oversaw the case against Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manager, Michael Sussman.
John Durham has withdrawn from the criminal case against Igor Duchenko, who was a source for the anti-Trump steel dossier, less than two months before the trial is set to begin.
Assistant special counsel, Andrew Phillips withdrew from the case, according to filing late Sunday, and there was no more details.
So the trials coming up for Duchenko in October, October 16th is when it's supposed to begin, and we're having, you know, this last second, and we're only less than two months away, and we have the lead prosecutors dropping out of the case.
Hmm.
Because here's the fact of the matter.
No matter what anybody says about all of this, there are serious questions we have to start asking and challenging this narrative that's being driven and pushed on us.
Because if we don't, they're going to keep getting away with it.
Because think of it this way.
As they're kicking the can down the road with this Durham investigation and probe and these trials that don't seem to be leading to any major arrests or indictments, at least not at the moment, The FBI is in the process of framing Trump again for another crime he never committed.
They're trying to create crimes.
They're trying to manufacture crimes.
They may or may not have planted evidence.
Who knows?
Or they may or may not have gone into his home to seize evidence that we talked about previously that would have talked about people like Peter Strzok and others and their connection to other outside intelligence agencies that should not have been using their surveillance technology and equipment and equipment We learned about
the FISA's.
We learned about them going to the FISA court and bringing this basically false pretense evidence, falsely pretense evidence, to which they went and then used it against Trump to spy on him.
And this all came out after the fact.
And now we're kind of sitting here thinking to ourselves, well, they would never do that.
They would never do it again.
They'd have to be really brazen to try to pull another one off like that.
And then they go and raid Mar-a-Lago.
And the question is this.
People go, well, that's a part of the plan.
Okay.
Wait, what?
If there was a plan, why doesn't the plan involve raiding Obama's house or his archive?
Why doesn't it involve raiding the Clintons?
Why doesn't it involve raiding the myriad of different people involved from the top down in spying on Trump while he was president and trying to frame him for this Russian collusion hoax?
It just doesn't make sense.
It stinks to you-know-what.
And nobody has presented me with this alternative.
I've watched these devolution guys.
I've watched the trust-the-plan stuff.
What did Q teach us all?
To challenge things, to think critically.
Q was about the information.
Yes, they kept hinting that there was a plan and that things had to get worse before they got better.
But like I said, plans change, guys.
And that's where I feel like we are.
I mean, simply put, Arwaz says, like you, I'm getting tired of this being drawn out.
It always seems like over the next hill, and we keep going on and on.
However, God will make the decision on what happens and when.
Yeah, look, that's why I'm not worried about it, because I know God's in control, and I know that all these plans of men and mice or whatever here on this earth are going to come to nothing, but God's plan is what's eternal, and that's what matters.
That's what matters.
But in the meantime, we can challenge these narratives.
And like I said, if it does have to get worse before it gets better, it has to get worse so that we get motivated to do something about it, legally and lawfully.
So, I just think that's important to kind of start the whole show off with plans change, guys.
Plans change.
The only plan that doesn't change is the plan that Jesus dying on the cross for our eternal salvation.
That's the only plan that's never going to change and I guess won't change, I guess, until Jesus comes back.
But then it's still the same plan.
So, I don't know.
Here's Paul Sperry.
Let's listen to what he has to say.
Over on Gitter saying...
By dragging out his counter-investigation for three years and counting, Special Counsel Durham has allowed the dirty FBI agents to regroup and start yet another national security investigation targeting Trump, Russiagate 2.0, to justify the last one, which came up empty.
I mean, that's exactly where we're at, right?
And I just, I look at this stuff and I go, huh.
And then you see people like even Steve Bannon commenting on that post I just read.
Steve Bannon says this, Durham's a joke and always has been a joke.
Anyone hanging their hat on Durham investigation doesn't get how the national security apparatus protects its own.
Now, I don't know that I'm 100% behind that because I would like to see Durham successful, and I do hope, but how are we trusting these institutions at this point?
How do you trust Christopher Wray after what he's done in nakedly politicizing the FBI? How do you trust John Durham when he's done exactly what he's done, which is practically nothing, and continually kicking the can down the road while, as Paul Sperry points out, giving the FBI and the DOJ a chance to regroup and frame Trump again?
And I'm not saying Trump's some saint, because I have problems with him and some of the things he's done, but in the majority of all ways, he is the victim of all this.
So, you know, you guys let me know what you think in the comments.
All I'm telling you is the truth and how I'm seeing things play out here in real time.
It's not anything other than that, and I think it's just worth being honest about all this because the same FBI, we're supposed to trust that this FBI who's going and kicking in Trump's door, not literally, but raiding his home, his private residence to get evidence against him in a nakedly his private residence to get evidence against him in a nakedly obvious fishing expedition where the scope and breadth of the warrant seems to indicate that they were going after every presidential document he ever
And this completely negates and violates executive privilege, attorney-client privilege, all of the privileges that President Trump and rights he's supposed to have.
Because if you think about it, it's just like Alex Jones.
The FBI is sending a message, right?
Just like the lawyers, right, who were basically put up by the fake news and the globalists and whatever to go after Jones and shut him down.
They set the president.
We can shut down First Amendment protected speech, and we can make you pay your entire life's savings, and we can financially break you.
And smear your name and just tar and feather you practically, proverbially speaking, in the court of public opinion for speaking your own opinion about something.
Well, what's the same president we're setting here?
The same president being set now is by the FBI. Even the president of the United States isn't above this nakedly politically driven witch hunt and persecution.
Where they ignore executive privilege meaning the FBI thinks it has a higher level of authority than the executive branch of the United States government and they ignore your constitutionally protected right to have attorney-client privilege they just stole all that too!
So, and, what are the stories that we're not, like, focusing on?
How about there was, like, a deadline, I believe, for Hunter Biden to have his laptop from the FBI turned over to Congress, and they just skipped out on that.
So, my question is this, and this is an honest question.
I'm sure there's still a few good agents left at the FBI, but, you know, for good men to sit back and allow evil to prosper is how we end up where we are.
Right?
Because at the end of the day, let's ask the obvious question.
Does the FBI have any accountability to anyone ever?
Or are they just the quintessential, they're the jackboot thug, armed wing of the Democrat Party, the globalist uniparty deep sea?
That's all they are.
I mean, as they do stuff like this and nothing happens.
So this Whitmer kidnapping plot, they're having closing arguments in this second trial with these two men, Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr.
I mean, essentially, let me just break down what they did.
And if I get a few things wrong, just forgive me, but let me just say this.
The FBI went to these guys.
These are practically homeless.
One of them, I believe, was living in a basement of a shoe store, basically like Al Bundy.
They went and found Al Bundy from Married with Children, if you're not familiar.
It's a comedy show that used to be on Fox.
They basically found Al Bundy, radicalized him, and then...
Helped him develop this plot to kidnap a governor.
He was sitting around smoking weed, talking about how he was going to do all these great things one day.
Like some has-been high school quarterback sitting in his mom's basement smoking weed saying, man, if I just had that one scout, if I didn't twist my ankle that one game, I would have had it.
What did they do?
They went and helped him make bombs and create plans to go kidnap Governor Whitmer, and then they turn around and say, look, we have domestic terrorists.
It's like, oh, well, you made a domestic terrorist.
You didn't find one.
You actually went and radicalized some homeless guy, practically, and then told him to go and try to kidnap the governor.
So they get away with that, right?
And I think in the first trial, the two men were acquitted of the charges, but in this trial...
These guys are going to be seeing what happens.
This is the closing argument.
So they can get away with that, though.
And they can also get away with this.
FBI field office chief during botched Whitmer plot, the one we just talked about, was moved to the district that covers Mar-a-Lago.
Huh.
So let me ask this.
Let me ask this.
You think maybe the same guys who are willing to set up some Al Bundy type homeless guys living in the basement of a shoe store to go and radicalize them or whatever, facilitate the fomentation of their already radicalized minds, where they could have never pulled anything off remotely close to what they did without the help, it seems, that they wouldn't go and then do some politically motivated stunt like this going and raiding a former president.
Because our country is ran in part by lawlessness or lawless criminal cartel that disguises itself as a law enforcement agency?
I don't know.
Let's see.
TrumpPrez19 says, Afternoon File, Larry.
Let me hear what Trump has done you don't like.
Questions from Australia.
We're going to get into that in just a minute.
Just hold on, Trump.
We're going to get there.
Just one second.
Arwa says, it's constantly difficult to see who is a good guy and who isn't.
Durham, Barr, Pence, etc.
I have my opinions, but I'm looking to validate them.
I think all those guys are not good actors.
At least not good faith actors, it doesn't seem like.
Because I'm a guy, it's like trust but verify.
It's like you judge a tree by its fruits.
You don't just say, oh yeah, the fruit tastes disgusting, but it's a great tree.
I mean, that's like biblical stuff.
Misbehaving Irishman says, your feelings are justified and very valid, but I bet on this in 2016 and I'm riding this horse till it's win or dies trying.
Well, that's fine.
Look, I'm not telling you you have to switch your opinions and everything.
I'm just saying, think about it logically and skeptically and take a step back from anything that you have as a preconceived notion and ask yourself some hard questions.
You have to challenge yourself in all of this.
We have to challenge ourselves.
It's not just about blindly accepting and believing in this stuff.
It's like we have to challenge us every step of the way.
DJ Robo, tall weeds and deep rabbit holes.
We are in them.
We are in and amongst them.
Anyway, FBI field office chief botched Whitmer Plott and was moved to the district that covers Mar-a-Lago, so that happened.
And now, of course, the MSNBC conspiracy theorists, the real conspiracy theorists, are saying that Trump will threaten to give top-secret docs to U.S. enemies.
Yep, this is their next narrative.
Michael Cohen, the most trustworthy criminal you could ever find.
It's funny to me how all the criminals who set up Trump, Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, Cohen, and the rest, that And they all end up on these fake news networks telling us how Trump's the bad guy.
In your previous segment, you were talking about flipping, Mike.
Let me put it to you this way.
There's going to be so much flipping.
Let me do it in Donald's voice.
There's going to be so much flipping.
It's going to be like watching a gymnastics event.
I mean, that's really what we have going on here.
Every single person is going to...
They all know what happened to me.
None of them want to go to prison.
I mean, you have to be out of your mind to want to go to prison.
There's going to be so much flipping, Mike.
You can't imagine...
So I've got less than a minute left, and I want to get to this because to me it's a real important question.
Given what we know about the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago, and you spent many years inside of Donald Trump's world, and so you know, and based on everything you know about him, why do you think he wanted to keep those top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago?
He's going to use it as a get-out-of-jail-free card.
It's a way to extort America to turn around and say, if you put me in jail, if you go after...
I mean, he'll even say his children simply, you know, after him.
I will have my loyal supporters, who you do not know who has...
Copies of information that may have been, you know, and again, this is my conjecture, that I will take those documents, I will release them to Iran, to China, to North Korea, to Russia, and you know what?
You want to take me down?
I'll take the whole country down.
Because remember, and I've said this with you a thousand times, Mike, Donald Trump doesn't care about this country.
He doesn't care about anyone or anything other than himself.
Alright.
Michael Cohen, you always bring the receipts, brother.
Appreciate you.
Okay, so, you know, I show that clip because I just think it tells you everything you need to know about the left and what they're trying to frame as this narrative.
So remember, when we look back in time, we realize that everything the left is, or not even the left, the uniparty deep state, everything that they've done and are guilty of, they reframe and throw back onto you.
Like, oh, he's going to give all these secret documents to China.
Well...
Let me ask you this, Cohen and all these, Michael Cohen and all these fake news liars, what could be in those documents that we don't want them to have access to?
And I know it's not nuclear codes.
I know it's not anything like that, because that wouldn't make any sense whatsoever.
Trump's not trying to actually destroy America.
Perhaps, perhaps, it's incriminating evidence about these corrupt individuals that are running our government.
Huh.
And then they say, we can't have that.
Can't have that information getting out.
As the judge has formally rejected the DOJ argument to keep Trump raid affidavits sealed, and on a further edge, they're asking for redactions, right?
So that's what's coming up next this Thursday.
We're going to have the judge receiving a list of redactions from the DOJ, which, you know, I mean, I can't imagine this page isn't just going to be completely blanked out.
And I just, you have to sit back and ask yourself, okay, The judge who used to represent Jeffrey Epstein, who also recused himself from a previous Trump case, Is now in charge of all of this?
I think what happened was he signed off on the warrant thinking he could get away with it.
They basically exposed him immediately, and he's looked to the handlers or whoever he was working with, whoever pushed him to sign off on this in the first place, and is saying, look, I got a lot of exposure here.
I got a lot of heat on me.
I can't just keep covering up for you guys because these people are exposing everything I've done.
The guy who represented the top lieutenants for Jeffrey Epstein is signing off on search warrants to go after the former president of the United States, and in the same time, he's saying now, oh, but we can't seal the affidavit, right?
Which is the document used to go and get the search warrant in the first place.
We're in different, different crazy times, and I just think that's crazy.
So speaking of Trump and what he's been up to, ghoulish Dr.
Fauci announces his resignation, stepped down in December.
Yeah, no worries.
50 years in public service.
He's going to step down, maybe get a nice little house out on the beach in Miami.
You know, just have a relaxed, quiet, peaceful life.
It's not like he did anything to hurt millions of people around this country and the world.
No.
It's not like he enforced policies that may have led to the deaths of countless innocent people.
No.
It's not like he did all these things.
He helped facilitate this vaccination program that has hurt so many people and has still to this day been yet to see any accountability for it.
No.
Oh wait, he did do all that.
But he's going to get a nice retirement package thanks to you and me.
See, we're working really hard at our jobs to earn enough money so we can pay for Fauci's retirement plan.
Because he's a government official.
He was actually one of the highest paid government officials.
And Trump won't say anything about it.
And I think there's a few reasons for that.
I've talked about these and laid it out in previous episodes.
And this is a constructive criticism.
Hoffdude saying constructive criticism is a good thing as we can all be better.
Most of the time our mistakes that we overcome help define the type of human being we are and will become.
I agree.
So this is another reason why it's like, well, we have to confront this head on.
We can't just say, oh, trust the plan.
It's all going to work out.
We have to be challenging this stuff because that's how we get better.
That's how we get over it, get through it.
I think somebody says, why is Cohen not in prison?
He was in prison, I think.
He got out.
He served his term.
And Fauci, who knows, he may have developed the virus in his kitchen, as he says jokingly, when he was funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan and other places where the virus escaped from.
But anyway, so Dr.
Fauci is resigning.
Trump's not saying anything against the vaccine.
And to me, I'm a person who has family members who have suffered adverse reactions and have terrible side effects from this vaccine and have full and total regret for ever taking it.
And they came to me without me prompting them to say...
I think they're trying to kill us.
And this is a person who is as left as it gets, for the most part, works in healthcare, has seen, privately told me, not without leaking any personal private medical information, but has told me that, topically speaking or anecdotally speaking,
they've seen so many people hurt or killed by these vaccines in their medical industry, where they work, As a person who works with patients on a regular basis, they said they've seen more people killed and hurt by this vaccine than anything else than the coronavirus ever could have.
Because that's what made them wake up.
They started realizing that more people were being hurt and killed by this vaccine than they were the virus itself.
And then they thought, wow.
And then they realized they were bullied into taking the vaccine.
And they were propagandized into taking the vaccine.
And they were listening to the fake news lies about how brave and heroic they were for taking the vaccine.
And then they had an adverse reaction to the vaccine.
And then they realized, what am I doing?
They realized that they were being used to essentially convince people to take this vaccine that was hurting people.
Oh, man.
Anyway, I just, and this is Alex Jones.
Now he has a message for Trump.
Let's watch.
Alex Jones here, issuing an emergency warning to President Trump.
Not a warning out of any desire to hurt you, President Trump, but to save your important legacy and hopefully ensure you can get back into the White House coming up in 2024.
We know the election was stolen.
We know the deep state's trying to set you up any way they can.
We understand that you are a lion surrounded by hyenas.
But the number one issue That is going to end up biting you in the ass like nothing else is the experimental shot that Fauci and Bill Gates and Birx and the rest of them convinced you would actually save millions of lives and get the economy going when they had brought out their lockdowns.
I know why you did it.
You've done so many other great things for this nation.
And I admire you and I appreciate you.
And I want to support you for president.
But Ron DeSantis is coming out and admitting that the vaccines don't work because now the CDC and others have been forced to admit that.
Now even the CDC is backhandedly acknowledging that the shots aren't preventing people from getting infected.
We have Deborah Birx coming out and saying she knew the COVID vaccine wouldn't protect We have Walensky, the current head of the CDC, coming out and saying that they were wrong about all this.
We made some pretty public mistakes and we need to own them.
This admission came after the CDC received the findings of an external review she ordered of the agency.
The CDC says the review found the agency's COVID guidance was confusing and overwhelming.
But you are still out there saying, no, it's great, and you're proud of it.
Now that they've admittedly set you and America and the world up with an experimental drug they rolled out of gene therapy against the general public, it is critical for you to decouple from these people, like Bolsonaro and other leaders like Viktor Orban have done saying, hey, at first we were for this, we thought it might help, but now we know it doesn't work, it's a fraud, and we need to put the brakes on this.
President Trump, I care about you.
I know you mean well.
You're a very smart man.
But they're coming after six-month-old and up babies with these dangerous shots.
Now look, whether you like or love or hate Alex Jones, the fact of the matter is that he's right.
Trump won't come out against these people because he's the one who propped him up.
And I think his ego and his pride won't allow him to do it.
And he makes calculations based on his political calculation.
I've said this before.
I'll say it again.
In his mind, the fact that he was the one who started all this, not to mention the fact that he's the one who was pushing, you know, right to try.
He was pushing, you know, the pharma companies to get drug prices lower.
He was pushing all of this stuff.
He's trying to stay in good with those same people, right?
And that's the biggest problem is that he's trying to stay in their good graces when he doesn't even realize that they're the ones who set him up.
And if he does realize it, the political calculation in his mind is, if he admits that he was duped, that makes him look weak.
If he looks weak, he won't get the moderate voters.
He'll lose a portion of his own base because they'll feel betrayed.
He'll lose the moderate vote, which is like the people not paying attention.
And he'll give the Democrats a huge talking point against him.
But he doesn't realize that we, the people, don't care about pride and ego.
We care about the fact that you have to help protect us.
It's your job.
Now maybe in his mind he believes that he won't be able to protect us if he can't get into office and he can't get into office if he admits he was wrong.
So it's like this big circle conundrum, circular logic.
But, you know, Ms.
Pave and Irishman says, but here in multiple outlets that agents who perform the raid are the very same agents who are currently being investigated by Durham.
It would suck if they were indicted.
That's the whole point.
That's why they raided Trump's house.
Because if it is the same agents, then what happens when Durham indicts those agents?
Then the media says, oh, political witch hunt.
Trump's going after his political enemies.
Trump appointed attorney prosecutor going after agents who investigated him.
Do you see how the narrative works?
Jay Prime says the people will forgive Trump if he admits it.
Yeah, I hope so.
I mean, I would.
At least it would show me the sign of humility and that he has the ability to have the understanding.
But like I said, the calculation is in his mind.
It's a lose-lose for him if he admits it.
Like I said, he loses a portion of his base who would feel betrayed.
Then he loses a lot of the moderates who listen to the fake news who are going to tell them that Trump lied to you, Trump gave you this vaccine.
And then it goes, it switches the whole narrative from being Joe Biden and him owning this vaccine, which is why he's distancing himself from it, to Trump owns the vaccine, then they'll really come out and say, oh, but look at all the damage it's causing.
Look, Trump's the one that put this on you and started you down this path.
Guys, it's a dangerous game that's being played right now.
There's a lot at stake.
And this is Dan Bongino.
I mean, I feel bad for Dan Bongino because he reminds me of some of my family members.
I mean, listen to this.
He regrets taking the vaccine and he's come out openly about it.
And I'm going to play this quick video, but before I do, it says, Lindsay says, I still believe that Trump is trying to appeal to the more moderate Republicans.
If he completely voices opposition to the vaccine, he's done with those voters.
He's weighing the pros and cons.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I've been saying that.
I mean, literally, people were giving me crap about saying that like a week or two ago.
I was saying, like, this is exactly why he's saying it.
And now everybody's come out and they're like, oh, yeah, you were right.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Trump Prez says, we in Australia love President Trump and we know he won, waiting to hear what you don't like about Trump.
I just literally told you that, Trump Prez.
I mean, I like Trump too.
I think he would be a great president, but I don't like the fact that he's pushing a vaccine.
If you live in Australia, I mean, gosh, how could you not see the writing on the wall?
They were interning you guys in camps over this COVID nonsense.
They took away all your guns before that, for crying out loud.
Misbehaving Irishman, Durham has the documents they seized.
They've been in his possession since January 2021.
I don't think that the media would care about that.
I think you're misbehaving Irishman.
I think you're missing the forest for the trees here in that the media is going to lie.
And it doesn't matter if all the proof in the world shows John Durham's doing his job correctly.
It's only going to matter what the fake news says and how they spin it.
That's how our country works now, unfortunately.
It's really sad.
Father Larry says, why is Cohen and Fauci not in Guantanamo Bay?
I don't know.
Cohen originally was furloughed.
Trump pushing the vax is a bad thing on his record.
Only saving grace is that Trump pushed the J&J. I don't know.
Was the J&J any better?
I don't think so.
Dragonfly reviewed the executive order of September 2019 about vaccines for flu and mRNA, pushed to change them so he knew.
Yeah, probably.
That's the worst part.
But Trump's not a doctor.
Trump's not an epidemiologist.
Trump's not a virologist.
So it's not, you know, to me, it's He had a lot that he didn't know, and they used that against him.
I'm just reading these, a few more.
Lindsey says, I think he knows the people like us, which is the majority voters, know how to think for ourselves.
Yeah, I guess so.
I hope so.
Jay Prime says, Either way, the socialists will use their tactics against him.
Pick a side, and they'll always spin it the other way.
I agree.
I agree.
That's why I think it would serve him better in the long run to just come out against the vaccine, even if it hurts him in the short term.
And the earlier he comes out against the vaccine, or not against it, but at least honestly talking about the vaccine instead of just saying it's great, the sooner he does that, the more time he'll have to rebuild that trust and confidence with the same people who he may think he's losing in the long term or in the short term.
We have no idea where all this will lead.
Just trust in God.
I agree.
Couldn't agree more.
But listen to Dan Bongino.
This is a sad, sad story.
He kind of lays it all out where he's at.
And this is the kind of thing, though, that we have to be aware of and realize.
The biggest mistake of my life.
I just should have waited.
I thought to myself at the time, I even told Guy, I said, you know, there's no doubt I feel like this was created in this virus in a lab in Wuhan, China.
I have little doubt about that.
And I figured, you know, I'd rather take my chances with something we created than something they created.
Remember when I told you that, Guy?
Because I was scared.
Again, you know, my doctor told me with lymphoma and being under chemo that if I got this thing, it could be ugly.
Let's just leave it at that.
Stupid.
Why?
I watched this clip from the Tucker Carlson show, citing some research coming out.
And time has now passed, and we're starting to see things.
It's really the most troubling minute 20 seconds I've had to listen to in a long time, because I'm scared of what's coming.
I had it a little while ago, and I'm afraid the repercussions of this for a lot of people have not been felt.
Here, check this out.
To neurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, Bell's palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, impaired DNA damage response, etc.
So it's possible, in fact, it's looking likely, that the vaccine might suppress the immune system.
This fact, the authors concluded, will quote, have a wide range of consequences, not the least of which include the reactivation of latent viral infections and the reduced ability to effectively combat future infections, end quote.
Again, we sincerely hope that's not true.
But it's not just the conclusion of one scientific journal.
The Lancet, maybe the most famous scientific journal in the world, released similar findings in February.
The Lancet's piece was entitled, quote, Risk of Infection, Hospitalization, and Death Up to Nine Months After a Second Dose of COVID-19 Vaccine.
A physician called Kenji Yamamoto made this observation about the data from the Lancet.
He wrote this in a letter to the Journal of Virology, and we're quoting, the study showed that immune function among vaccinated individuals eight months after the administration of two doses of COVID-19 vaccine was lower than that among the unvaccinated individuals.
Folks, science is patience.
Science is long-term.
Science is chronological.
Science is the repeating and replicating of data through process, through control groups.
Science is the elimination of confounding variables.
All these things take time.
Now, whereas I understand we were in an emergency situation with COVID, no emergency situation should lead a company or a government to force people to take something, to force them to take something that may in the long run damage their bodies.
Greatest regret of my life.
Yeah, and I feel bad for Dan because he reminds me of people I know, you know?
And somebody over, Enrique Alvarado, thank you for the cookie or the can, says, Trump pushed prophylaxis, homeopathic medicine, expediting vaccine research, and most importantly, choice.
I agree with that, but then why can't he come out now and say just the truth about what we all see, the writing on the wall?
Instead, he keeps saying, the vaccine's great.
Vaccine's great.
It's really an interesting thought to have.
Biden is taking a two-week break.
Another one.
So remember that time that Biden came out and told us he had cancer?
Then he got COVID. Then he went on vacation.
Then he quarantined.
Then he went on vacation.
Then he got COVID again.
Then he quarantined again.
Now he's on vacation again.
We haven't seen him a lot since then, huh?

You can find it on my True Social account, but also on my other accounts on Gab and on Gitter.
But here on True Social, I'm at JustInformedTalk.
And the scripture of the day is from Matthew 12.
We're continuing Matthew chapter 12.
We're doing the whole book of Matthew, so I hope you guys are ready for that.
And we start on chapter 1.
We're already in chapter 12.
Today's verse we're talking about from Jesus.
This is him speaking, saying, Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not gather with me scatters.
Because of this, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the one to come.
Now, for our God's Grace is a Greater segment, we're going to dive into what that means, what Jesus is trying to say, I think, and what we can take away from it.
So I hope you guys stick around for that.
It's going to be another powerful, they're all powerful, but just another powerful God's Grace is a Greater segment where we do a deep dive into the Scripture at the end of every episode.

There's four-week kits.
There's three-month kits.
All types of stuff.
So go check that out today.
And let's just get into the next news story.
What they don't want us to see and talk about.
Ron Paul wrote an article over here on Infowars that I thought was fascinating.
Talking about more billions to Ukraine as America falls apart.
Yeah.
Here we are, guys.
Here we are.
Make sure you go down in the comments and leave it.
Not in the live chat, guys.
So if you want to make sure that you get that copy, go in the comments.
Leave a comment, not the live chat.
Just had to clarify that.
Alright, so more billions to Ukraine as America falls apart.
Yeah.
That's what they're doing.
And if you want to read through this article, you can.
I'm only going to, you know, kind of reference this article because I think it's important to get into the next story.
So Ukraine, we're funneling all this money into, and then this story happened the other day.
Zelensky is now warning of a nastier phase of war.
As Russia says, Dugin, Alexander Dugin, whose daughter was just killed in a car bombing, was a contract killing.
So this is a crazy story, and I'll kind of let Paul just Watson break this down, but Russia's released video of suspected Moscow car bomber.
This lady came in with her daughter from out of town, from out of state.
She came in from, I think, Ukraine and came into the Donbass People's Republic, and then she came into Russia, stayed there for a while, basically tried to put a car bomb underneath this Putin ally's car, ended up killing his daughter instead of him.
Maybe that was sending him a message.
Yeah, terribly tragic and sad.
War is evil and sick and disgusting, but Paul Joseph Watson gives a good breakdown here, so let's go ahead and watch what happened to Dugan's daughter.
The daughter of Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin was blown up by a car bomb in Moscow.
It appears as though the intended target was Dugin himself, the man dubbed Putin's brain.
But the two swapped cars at the last minute, although others claim the car was owned by his daughter and that she was the intended target.
Immediately after the car bombing, virtuous morally upstanding people with Ukrainian flags in their Twitter bios rushed to gloat and celebrate over the assassination.
Because they're really good people, don't you know?
The BBC even featured a guest who justified blowing people up with car bombs, so long as they've been sufficiently demonized as fascists beforehand.
He apparently was intending to travel in that car and then switch to another car.
So it looks like he probably was the intended target.
Now she would be a logical target as well.
She basically carries on his legacy of fascism, She has been, you know, calling Ukrainian subhumans, calling for wiping them out, like her dad has been, for quite some time.
So to hit them both at the same time would be an especially attractive way of actually fighting this battle.
Yes, the same establishment that hyperventilates over mean words and edgy tweets calling for mass censorship will gladly platform people who justify car bombing private citizens for expressing opinions they don't like.
Some have questioned whether Dugin is actually that close to Putin or whether this is largely an exaggeration.
The two don't even appear to have met before and there are no photographs of them together.
Many see Dugin as an obscure political commentator and philosopher.
While CNN rather ludicrously labels him the architect of the Ukraine war.
Two days before the bombing, one of Ukraine's largest TV channels showed a story about Dugin titled He Controls Putin, calling him Putin's brain, an ideologue of the Russian civilisation.
Mainstream journalist John Sweeney called the attack a Kremlin black op.
No actual evidence provided for that claim.
And the Telegraph, one of the most respected newspapers in Britain, breathlessly reported.
Car bomb attack in Moscow most likely to be a false flag attack to whip up public support and escalate war against Ukraine.
Their evidence for this, before the results of any investigation have been announced or scrutinised, the opinion of, quote, And that's it.
That's their evidence.
Hmm, not exactly watertight, is it?
Does Russia carry out false flags?
Undoubtedly, yes.
Could the Dugin attack have been a false flag?
Possibly.
Although the FSB were big fanboys of his, so it doesn't seem likely, does it?
Also, if Dugin was Putin's war mastermind, as the Sun called him, Why would they want to kill him?
To justify bombing Ukraine.
They're already bombing Ukraine.
They've been at war with them for six months.
Why would they need an excuse to do that?
It's always a bit odd, isn't it, to see the mainstream media run with the false flag narrative within 24 hours of an incident.
But whenever anyone accuses NATO powers of carrying out false flags, they're roundly monstered as a deranged conspiracy theorist by that same mainstream media.
Remember, Only Russia carries out false flags, while the legacy media cites opinions as the evidence behind Russia carrying out the attack.
I guess at least the Russian FSB is naming names.
They're saying it was carried out by a woman who arrived in Russia last month with her teenage daughter.
She rented an apartment from where she researched Doria Dugina, daughter of Russian ultranationalist and political theorist Alexander Dugin.
And whether you believe that or not, it at least constitutes more verifiable information than just claiming, with no information, as the mainstream media has done, that this was a Russian false flag.
I mean, really, who are the conspiracy theorists now?
Yeah, I think Paul Joseph Watson kind of hits the nail on the head there.
It tells you everything you need to know about the double standards here, and it's sad to see people, you know, this senseless violence that continues.
On to this day, and I was saying before in this report from Russia releasing, they released all this information here about this lady.
You know, how she got into the country.
They show where she came in.
She was at the checkpoint here, and they were searching her car.
Here's her at the apartment complex where the daughter lives.
Then they say that she fled the country afterward.
This is them searching her car as she came in and left.
How she changed her tags before and after she came in and after she left.
And she used her young, underage daughter seemingly as a decoy.
War is evil, and there's a lot going on here, guys, that they don't want us to focus on.
This is why we're all obsessed with Trump writing on Mar-a-Lago.
It's killing two birds with one stone for them.
They can frame Trump and distract us from everything happening in the world.
And other stories like this, Census Bureau admits over counting seven blue states and just one red state.
Well, why is this a big deal?
A lot of people who don't know any better would say, what are you talking about, Craig?
Who cares if the Census Bureau overcounted seven blue states?
Because this is how they create the apportionment of congressional representation in Congress.
Meaning, if you overcount blue states, that means they get more representation in Congress, which means they have a disproportionate amount of representation, which means they have more people which they can use to ram through their illegitimate agenda, their communist Marxism on us.
On top of that, Facebook is preparing to influence the 2022 midterm elections.
Yep, this story's coming out here.
We're going to be talking about this in shortly the next few days and weeks ahead.
But it turns out Facebook's shared its plan to quote-unquote protect the 2022 midterm elections in a recent post from Meta's Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs.
Their 2022 approaches could be consistent with the policies and safeguards that we had in place during the 2020 election, so you know it's going to be good, guys.
We can't ever do anything about that, right?
They're going to interfere in our elections whether we like it or not.
These companies have far too much power.
They need to be stripped of it and they need to be restructured.
And, you know, we know Facebook's life log, this is all made by DARPA. This was all created by the government.
So you voluntarily give your personal information to the surveillance state so they can track you.
And then what they did is they've created such a complex and overwhelmingly large database of information on you and me and everyone else that they can manipulate us.
And not maybe us, but everybody else.
And that's what they're doing.
And now they're safeguarding elections, right?
You mean fixing elections for the deep state.
And on top of that, I mean, people don't realize how many massive conservative voices were banned off mainstream social media and MAGA is still ascending.
I mean, they got rid of all the biggest people.
Trump, Bannon, Stone, Jones, Flynn, Malone, O'Keefe, Green, and hundreds of digital patriots like yours truly who have been deplatformed.
We've just been thrown in the memory hole, never to be seen again.
Now we have to go into the other bit shoots and the rumbles and all that stuff.
And as we go to those platforms, what do they do with those platforms?
They start demonizing them.
This is a story that just came out from Reuters, of all places, the biggest liars on the internet.
They're saying, new breed of video sites thrive on misinformation.
This is a complete and total hit piece where they basically dox a person who I consider a friend, the guy who owns and runs the company BitChute, the video website where I post these videos.
A lot of the time, I always post these videos.
And...
A good friend of mine, Ray, who runs this website, who's a good man who seems to be just wanting to provide a platform for people to put up alternatives to the fake news liars and to give us a place to go to share our opinions outside of this command-control censorship authoritarianism, There, Reuters, now doxing him in this article, and they're going after the website, bitch shooting the website, Odyssey, and they're telling us that it's...
So now what's next, guys?
The writing's on the wall.
Now they can't...
Now that they've seen that we built alternatives to them, guess what they're going to start doing?
They're going to start banning those alternatives outright.
The censorship of the Internet is coming.
So...
You know, this is what they do.
See, they have these neat little graphics where they show all the people and their channels and how many views they get.
And I haven't looked through this all yet, but I'm sure my videos are in there somewhere.
Some thumbnail that I've done is in here.
Because that's what they do.
And that's how they lie.
And this is what's coming next.
So just throwing that out there.
As Liz Cheney, who was categorically rejected by the voters in Wyoming and across the board, in my opinion, all conservatives would reject her, is vowing to support opponents of election-denying Republicans, even if it means helping the Democrats.
So remember, it's not a Republican-Democrat thing.
It's uniparty versus everyone else.
And she is the uniparty.
She's a part of it.
As COVID hysteria continues out here in crazy California, where I live, Los Angeles Public Health offers free COVID tests for pets.
Yeah.
Remember, whenever they start offering tests, there's going to be a spike because the tests, I don't think, work very well.
And they're meant to fail on purpose.
Let's see, a couple more stories here.
Let's see.
Seattle Children's Hospital offers medicalized gender transition to nine-year-olds.
Yeah, puberty blockers, gender-affirming hormones, gender-affirming surgery.
That's the things they're going to be giving you, right?
I don't know what partnership with autism means because that's like, now you're mutilating autistic kids.
Great.
Perfect.
Super.
This is the world we live in.
A fallen, evil world where people go after kids like this.
In Texas, K-12 teachers are urged to take this LGBTQIA+. I mean, how many more letters can they add on this?
Training on taxpayers' dime.
Here's the course materials they're giving to brainwashed students.
Yeah.
So if you can help it at all, for the love of all that's good, do not let your kids go to public school.
And if they do...
Lay it out for them from day one.
Be like, you are going to a public indoctrination center.
You are there to learn math.
You are there to learn science.
You are not there to learn about gender ideology.
You are not there to learn about your sexuality.
And you are not there to learn about who your gay teacher is having gay anal sex with.
I hate to be so graphic, but that's the level we're at.
On top of all of it, these are what the teachers are.
These groomer teachers, they're literally stalking your kids on TikTok.
And this is how they trap them.
Look at this sicko, this teacher, talking about how she's mad that the parents came up against her and kept her from going on TikTok to make videos with their underage children.
We get TikTok on Friday.
So today's TikTok is for two groups of people.
One, to the kids, I usually make TikToks with.
And four, I'm sorry, the cell phone policy has prevented us from making TikToks the past couple weeks.
And I certainly hope that sometime by the end of the year, we can start making them again.
Because I miss it.
And I like seeing you guys in the hallway and talking about TikToks.
The second...
Part of my message is for the parents who feel it necessary to complain to school about my TikToks.
I'm not apologizing.
I just hope you realize that I don't make the TikToks for you.
I make them for the kids and with the kids because it's fun and it breaks up our day and it's fun.
So, let me just break this down.
What this teacher is saying, she's apologizing to her students because she can't make TikToks with underage children anymore without parental consent, which is insanity.
Crazy.
Then on top of that, she's telling us that, to the parents, I'm not apologizing.
I just do these because I have fun with your children, whether you like it or not.
And it's like, wait, what?
Okay, can I ask something?
Teach them science, math, alphabet, shapes, geometry.
I don't care.
Stop doing this indoctrination.
For the love of all that's good, stop trying to be friends with these kids.
You're their teacher.
You're not their friend.
You're not their pal.
You're not their hombre.
You're not going to go hang out with them after school.
Unless you are a sick and deranged groomer who likes doing that with children.
That's the only way I could see it.
I just like having fun with your kids in the hallway.
What's wrong with you?
It's like, what?
Laura Ann says her 12-year-old doesn't have any social media.
God bless you, Laura Ann.
You are so smart.
Don't let your kids on the internet.
Don't let them on social media.
And if they are, you stand over their shoulder while they're there.
I mean, for the love of all that's good.
For the love of all that's good.
Lauren says, she's insane.
Gilio Humberto says, great advice on education system, Craig.
Parents are ultimately responsible, and I feel responsible.
Yeah, if you can at all.
Here's a great story, though, we'll kind of wrap it up on, is that there's this Christian school that's warning parents of LGBTQ students that they will be asked to leave, and now they're facing harassment and death threats.
So basically what they said is, we're a Christian school, we're a private school, If your kid comes in here and tells us that they're a boy when they're a girl or they're a girl when they're a boy, we're not going to play along with it.
We're not going to play along with their mental disorder.
We're not going to buy into this suicide cult.
We're not going to do all this crazy stuff.
We're just not going to play along with it.
And what happens to them?
They get harassed.
They get threatened.
They get death threats.
That's our society, guys.
Could you imagine the other way around?
If a Christian went to a public school and they started giving them death threats and harassment, then the FBI says that's what's happening, which is why we have to go after parents, right?
No, it doesn't happen that way, for the most part.
I'm not saying that it's never happened before, but I'm saying that it goes both ways, and if you want freedom, then you can't take it away from us and say that you have every right to it.
And I don't think you should have an ability to hurt children.
I don't think that you should mainstream child abuse.
I don't think that you should buy into this LGBTQ suicide cult that is hurting far more people than it's helping, and it will destroy the lives of these children, whether they know it or not.
And this is dangerous.
In dangerous times.
Laura and Lindsay doing good work, saying they'll sacrifice everything financially to keep her there forever in a Christian school.
Good.
Good.
Do what you have to do.
I mean, there's nothing like parents who love their children enough to actually stand up against this.
I couldn't tell you how much I appreciate and respect you for it.
DJ Robus says, can we fire this demon now and disqualify her from ever teaching again?
Yeah, maybe.
That would be great.
I don't think these people should be around kids, man.
It's just sick.
But there is an answer to all of this, right?
And it comes from the Bible and the Scripture and our Lord and Savior Jesus.
And today we're in Matthew chapter 12 for our God's Graces greater segment, continuing right where we left off.
The last part we were at was where Jesus healed on the Sabbath the man who had a crippled hand, and the Pharisees got really mad and started plotting against him and talking about how they were going to destroy him.
So let's pick up where we left off, Matthew 12, verse 15, and I'm going to try to read up to verse, let's say, 32.
Let's try to get as much.
We're trying to get through this, right?
And we have a lot to cover, so let's talk about it.
I'm going to read this to you.
So this is after Jesus found out the Pharisees were plotting against him and trying to destroy him.
When Jesus became aware of this, he withdrew from there.
He was in the synagogue healing the man with the crippled arm on the Sabbath.
So the Pharisees were plotting to destroy him.
So this is where we're picking up from.
It says, It
goes on to say, When the Pharisees heard this, they said, the man drives out demons only by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.
Knowing their thoughts, he told them, every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself.
How then will this kingdom stand?
And if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, who is it your sons drive them out by?
For this reason, they will be your judges.
If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
How can someone enter a strong man's house and steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man?
Then he can rob his house.
Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not gather with me scatters.
Because of this, I tell you, people will be forgiven.
Every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit, will not be forgiven.
Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him.
But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the one to come.
Lots to unpack there.
There's a lot to unpack there.
And I'll say it like this, guys.
Think of what Jesus is saying in the first part.
He's just finished healing a crippled man on the Sabbath and the Pharisees are angry.
They're like, it is against our law for you to do anything on the Sabbath, basically.
And especially that which we saw in the story before where his disciples were eating and then he heals somebody in their synagogue on the Sabbath when they're not supposed to be healing.
So Jesus turns to them and says to the crowd who was following him after he left the temple, he says to them, don't tell anybody about what we're doing.
And this is after he healed all of them.
Because he was trying to make sure, or he knew that he would make sure, that the prophet Isaiah and his prophecy was fulfilled.
This is Matthew quoting, I think this is the longest quote from the Old Testament in the book of Matthew, where he quotes the prophet Isaiah in talking about how the coming of Jesus would be done in this quiet fashion, where he would not argue or shout, and he wouldn't be out in the streets proclaiming out until he has led justice to victory.
And then the nations will put their hope in his name.
Basically is what it's saying.
So, Jesus is making the prophet Isaiah's prophecy come true.
But then, it goes into another place, right?
Where Jesus comes across a demon-possessed man, and he heals him.
A blind and deaf, or I think blind and unable to speak.
He makes him see, and he makes him be able to speak.
And the crowd says, well, perhaps this is the Son of David, meaning the Messiah.
Right?
He's convincing them that he is the Messiah.
But the Pharisees, when they hear this, they say, this man's doing it.
The devil is the power that helps him do it.
It's Beelzebub.
It's the only way he's able to do it.
Because they're trying to undermine Jesus' authority over them.
Because I believe that they feared he was exactly who he says he was.
And that he was preaching what they didn't like, as if they were God.
But they didn't realize, or they didn't want to realize, that Jesus was there.
That his power was all-encompassing and overwhelming.
So Jesus, this is the best part though.
It says, knowing their thoughts.
Not based off what they said.
I think it's particularly important to understand that it's not just that the Pharisees said that he drives out demons by Beelzeb.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking.
And Jesus goes on to explain, every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
And then he goes on to tell them, he says, if Satan drives out Satan, he's divided against himself.
How will his kingdom stand?
It's like, how would it make any sense that Jesus was working for Satan to drive out demons?
Wouldn't Satan want the demons to persist?
So he's catching the Pharisees in their own fallen logic.
And then he goes on and catches them again in their flawed logic, saying, and if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, he says, asking them, who is it your sons drive them out by?
Because the Pharisees and their scribes and the holy men of that day, they were driving out demons.
So Jesus is saying, if you're saying that I'm doing it with Beelzebub, whose authority are you doing it by?
Right?
Right.
Because he goes on to say, if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
And I think he knew that people would be afraid of that, that they were afraid of that, because it was a challenge to their authority.
And the Sadducees and the Pharisees and their scribes, they weren't concerned about being holy.
They weren't concerned about God at that point, it seems.
They were more concerned about their power on earth.
And Jesus came to teach them, your power on earth is meaningless if you don't look beyond that.
If you're focused on how powerful you become here on this earth and you're not looking to the next realm, the next life, then you've lost the whole picture.
And then he gives this great example.
He says, how can a strong man, or how can someone enter a strong man's house and steal his possessions unless he ties him up first?
Right?
Then he can rob his house.
So he's saying, how can I drive out demons if I don't go and tie up Satan first, basically?
He says, that's how I'm doing it.
I'm able to drive out demons because he's saying I'm more powerful than Satan.
Because he is.
But then he says one of the most important parts here, he says, anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not gather with me scatters.
So he's telling them straight up, and this is a lesson that we should all learn, Jesus is saying, if you're not with me, guess what?
There's no in-between on this one.
You're either with me or you're against me.
But then he gives a little bit of a reprieve from that, saying, because you can be forgiven for blasphemy and sin, But, he says, meaning when you reject God, when you don't look into that next life, you don't care about what happens, you're not working for God and the Holy Spirit that's inside of you through God, from God, then you've lost the whole picture.
You're either with me or against me, is what Jesus is saying.
And then it goes on to say, whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him.
But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven of him, either in this age or the one to come.
Jesus is saying, I'll forgive you, because that's what I'm here to do.
I'm here to forgive you if you come after me, if you say bad things about me.
When he's on the cross, one of Jesus' last words are, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
He forgave us.
And he never will stop forgiving us.
But he says when you reject God, when you don't look to God, when you think that it's not important to put God at the forefront of your life, guess what?
You've missed the whole picture.
And to me, I think that's a powerful message for us to live by.
To understand that...
Jesus was not only all-powerful, but he even came to sacrifice, and even as he was being persecuted, as he was being slandered, as they were trying to destroy him, he says, look, I'll forgive you when you come after me, but when you go after the Father, when you go after the Spirit that we know is in me, the Son of Man, he's saying, as Jesus is speaking, there's no forgiveness on that one.
Right?
Right?
Because they're knowingly doing what's wrong as they're standing in the presence of the all-powerful.
And that's, I think, the message that we can take away from it.
So I hope that that helped you.
I hope that spoke to your heart.
And I really hope that that was just something that's interesting.
And then the next lessons we're going to get into are really interesting.
I love this.
I'm so thankful and blessed that we're able to go through the book of Matthew.
There's so much we're going to unpack.
Stay tuned.
Next episode, we're going through the probably going to be We're not going to finish Matthew 12.
We're going to be going through the next few parts of it.
But let's talk about it.
It talks about tree and fruit, like I was saying before, biblical reference.
Jesus is going to tell us about that.
But, alright guys, I hope you enjoyed this episode.
We're going to end it with a little bit of prayer, then I'll jump over in the chat and just see if I've missed anything over in the live chat.
But also remember to go down, and if you want that copy of 2,000 Mules, Leave your comments on why you want it, and I will pick one.
Let's end with a prayer.
Lord and Heavenly Father, thank you for this day.
Thank you for helping us to see you more clearly through your scripture.
Lord, help us realize that the things that are of this world, they'll come to nothing.
It's alright for us to want to see the truth in all things but help us to recognize the ultimate truth which is that your Son came and gave a sacrifice for us and pointed us in the direction of you Lord and told us that we cannot come to the Father without coming through the Son and that Lord,
let us not be like the Pharisees of the day who looked for power and looked past the miracles being performed in front of their eyes, looked to anything to maintain what they thought was in their best interest when they didn't realize or they just didn't want to realize, Lord, that you are the most powerful and ultimate God that there ever was and that you made a sacrifice for us that's incalculable.
You gave your one and only Son to die for our sins so that we may have eternal salvation.
Help us focus on that, Lord, in our lives.
Share that with others and use that as a beacon of hope from which to find hope in our lives and find hope from you.
We thank you, Lord, for every day and every moment.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
All right, guys.
