	Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Friday, August 23rd, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams. Thank you for joining me today.
	There's a lot happening in the political realm as we are, what, a little over 70 days away from the election.
	I don't know what it is, 75 days, something like that.
	And by the time you hear this, it's quite likely that RFK Jr.
	will have addressed the nation with whatever he intends to do.
	There's a lot of speculation about what his announcement may be.
	Alex Jones had reported two days ago, and seemingly NBC News had also confirmed, and Zero Hedge had covered it, and many other outlets, saying that RFK Jr. was going to drop out of the race and endorse Donald Trump, and that Trump would then and that Trump would then appoint RFK or promise to appoint him to some significant role in the Trump administration.
	And as we covered yesterday, I was secretly hoping that role would be head of HHS or possibly head of CIA if you really want to rub the deep state's nose in it.
	That would be a great way to go.
	But there's been a tremendous amount of backlash against RFK and his VP candidate, Shanahan, by Democrats themselves, who are having a difficult time trying to convince RFK that the Democrat Party are the good guys here, because clearly the Democrat Party is corrupt.
	They blocked RFK.
	They cheated and rigged in their nomination process.
	They did not allow him to attend the debates.
	They did not even allow a vote.
	Kamala has been chosen by the Democrats through a very corrupt process that did not involve any debates whatsoever and really never allowed the Democrat people, the people, not just their party delegates, to cast a vote.
	Kamala has been appointed.
	She's been crowned.
	But she didn't earn it, which is perfect for the fact that she's the DEI candidate for the Democrat Party.
	But they elbowed RFK Jr.
	out of the race, and then they sued to block his ability to get on the ballots in states like New York.
	And so for Democrats to say to RFK Jr., hey, we're the good guys.
	You should come talk to us.
	I think RFK is like...
	We already tried that, you dumbasses.
	We've been trying that for the last year, and you shut us out.
	So we're going to do something different.
	Now, what that is, what's different, I don't know for sure.
	You know, there's a lot of speculation, a lot of rumors.
	Shanahan, of course, being someone who was married to one of the co-founders of Google, She's got a tremendous amount of money.
	She brought a lot of money to the RFK campaign.
	And also there's some questions about RFK's wife, Cheryl Hines, you know, famous actress, and she tends to lean kind of left, and maybe there's an internal conversation going on there, which would be normal and natural to have an internal conversation with your spouse about what you're planning on doing.
	But I want to say this.
	To anybody listening who is in the Democrat camp or the RFK camp, you know, the independent camp, I want to say this.
	RFK Jr., his belief system is far more compatible with that of Trump supporters today than it is the Democrat Party and what the Democrats stand for.
	This is not an election about left versus right.
	And on that point, RFK Jr.
	is absolutely correct. This is an election about whether you want America to succeed as a nation with fundamental principles of liberty, Versus the Democrat Party that absolutely seeks to destroy this nation, everything it stands for, to go completely lawless, to go like full crazy psycho on the country with all their child mutilations and all the other crazy things that they stand for.
	That's what this election is about.
	And it's the conservative side of this that is more tolerant than the radical left, which has become a group of intolerant, hate-filled monsters.
	I mean, think about it.
	Just look at the rallies.
	If you go to a Kamala Harris rally dress as a Trump supporter, you will be physically attacked and shoved to the ground and probably kicked in the face.
	If you go to a Trump rally, dressed as a Kamala supporter, you will simply be engaged in a discussion, possibly a passionate verbal debate, but something rooted in reason, not with fists flying.
	That's the difference.
	Trump supporters want to help Democrats be uplifted and understand rationality, whereas Kamala supporters want to murder Trump supporters.
	They are so filled with seething hatred that all they want to do on the left is destroy everybody who disagrees with them.
	And that's not American.
	And RFK Jr.
	understands that. Now, I don't know what he's going to do on this day today.
	We will all know soon.
	Perhaps we'll be disappointed.
	That's a possibility.
	Maybe he changes his mind.
	I don't know. But I do know this, that RFK Jr., he has a heart for America.
	He is a compassionate human being.
	And I believe that he sobs for what has been lost in this country.
	Having watched it his entire life, having watched the deep state assassinate his father, Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, President John F. Kennedy.
	Having watched them get away with that and to carry out the CIA coup against this nation that has resulted in so much corruption and suffering and death.
	And conquest against our own nation, against the ideals of the people.
	And you know what? I'll say this.
	RFK Jr. has a heart for humanity.
	He's got compassion.
	Yes, I wish he would speak out more against what's happening in the Middle East.
	And perhaps at some point he will.
	We can pray that he will come to that.
	In the meantime, he does care about humanity.
	He cares about children and their health and their futures.
	And he cares about this nation.
	And RFK Jr.
	is someone who wants to bring people together.
	And I welcome that message.
	I endorse that message.
	And I want to say on the record here that if Trump wins this election, that our stance as Trump voters and Trump supporters should not be to weaponize the government against the Democrats, even though that's exactly what the Democrats themselves would do.
	We must not We must not stoop to that level of using or abusing positions of power to be weaponized against people, even if we vehemently disagree with them.
	Yes, we must hold those accountable who committed crimes.
	I completely agree with that.
	That would include illegal aliens who crossed the border illegally.
	Let's politely...
	Put them on a really nice, luxurious bus and drive them right back across the border.
	And we'll ask three times politely.
	And if they refuse all three times, then...
	You know, then we put them on the bus and drive them across the border.
	And it might be a little bit of a less luxurious bus.
	You see, like, everybody's got a choice.
	We also must hold accountable all the COVID criminals.
	We must hold accountable all those who engaged in election crimes in 2020 and 22.
	Also, anybody who was involved in rigging the election, stealing it, running extra ballots, ballot stuffing, you know, all the...
	The mule operations and the illegal ballot harvesting, all of that needs to be prosecuted.
	So yes, there are a lot of people who need to be prosecuted.
	What I'm saying is we should not look at government as a weapon to be used against the innocent, but that's exactly the way the left sees government.
	The left sees government as a tool of vengeance and destruction.
	And we must not fall down that path.
	It is seductive, admittedly.
	When you win, you can feel like, you know, let's go get them, you know, that kind of thing.
	And we must not fall for that.
	We must, in fact, demonstrate to Democrats that it is we, the conservatives, who actually reflect the ideals that they claim to follow.
	That we don't destroy them in vengeance.
	I mean, yes, we incarcerate them if they committed crimes, but not innocent people.
	And yes, they can peacefully protest against the Trump administration, and we will not stop them, unless they get violent, which they probably will.
	But for peaceful protests, hey, that's a First Amendment right, no matter what you're saying in your protest.
	I agree with the Second Amendment rights of leftists who want to defend themselves and protect their family.
	Do they have family? I think they hate families, but whatever.
	They want to protect themselves and their property against violence.
	They also have a Second Amendment right.
	They have a First Amendment right to speak.
	And you see, because we believe these things, we are showing why the conservative side here in America is the side of sustainable civilization.
	It is the side of righteousness.
	It is the side of morality and reason.
	Because the leftists, they don't believe in freedom of speech for anybody but themselves.
	And that's what RFK sees the Democrats doing.
	And he opposes that strongly.
	And this is why I hope and pray that he endorses Trump and joins the Trump administration.
	But again, we'll have to see.
	Now, I've recorded a special report for you here entitled, Democrats Promise to Unleash Violence Whether They Win or Lose.
	And we really must understand this point.
	And ourselves, individually, against radical left-wing violence.
	So enjoy this special report that talks about that and also mentions some wise things that you may want to do before Election Day.
	So give a listen, and we'll continue on the other side.
	Understand that if the Democrats win this coming election...
	They plan to throw conservatives into concentration camps or re-education camps.
	And they've said it over and over and over again.
	This is not hyperbole.
	That's what they plan to do.
	And they'll do it at gunpoint.
	Now, if they lose the election, then they will burn this country down.
	And they'll do that at gunpoint.
	My point here for this podcast is that the Democrats are going to have an armed revolt against America, whether they win or lose.
	And electing Trump president is more important than just who's going to be in the White House because of politics.
	The real election here is about who do you want to be in the White House when the radical left takes up arms and carries out actual kinetic war against this country domestically.
	That's the question.
	And if you think that a President Kamala will do anything to stop left-wing violence, well, then you don't know who she is because she cheered it on during the BLM riots and Antifa riots that were waged against Trump during Trump's administration.
	Kamala encouraged those people and said something along the lines of they should be encouraged to keep burning things down because their outrage is justified.
	I mean, that's a paraphrase, but that's basically what she said.
	If Trump's in the White House, it's going to be a very different story.
	You're going to have Republican governors push back hard against the uprisings.
	You're also going to have Red County sheriffs push back hard and you will see thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of Americans deputized across the country.
	This would include veterans of law enforcement, veterans of military.
	People who don't have a criminal record but who do have concealed carry permits.
	Again, a lot of former cops and soldiers.
	They will be deputized to help keep the peace and restore law and order in communities across America.
	They would not be able to do that under a Democrat presidency because, well, the DOJ would prosecute them all and call it an insurrection, just trying to restore the rule of law.
	They would call that an insurrection.
	Trump, though, understands that this is a necessary step to defend America from a radical left-wing Marxist violent uprising.
	So have no illusions about what's coming, folks.
	When people like Michael Yon and Matt Bracken warn you that a kinetic uprising is coming, they are absolutely correct.
	And they know, both of those guys know, because they've seen it.
	They've seen it firsthand in other countries.
	They've seen the collapse take place.
	They know what's coming.
	You are going to find yourself in a battle zone, in an armed conflict in your own country, And this is the first time that will ever have happened in your lifetime.
	And it will be the first time in America, frankly, since the Civil War.
	So, you know, since the 1860s, we have not had war in America like the war that is coming in the next few months.
	Now, understand that the left has already said they plan to, if they have political power, they plan to put conservatives, Trump supporters, Christians, and gun owners into re-education camps, they call them.
	But, of course, we know what they mean.
	They mean death camps. So they plan to round you up at gunpoint with government thugs and throw you into death camps and exterminate you.
	And we've played the videos.
	You know what? We'll probably play it again for you here today.
	Five or six minutes non-stop of Democrat leaders calling for death camps, re-education camps, concentration camps, and one of the officials calls for the complete extermination of all white people in America to be replaced by illegal immigrants.
	They openly call for this.
	They're not beating around the bush.
	This is their plan.
	And I still talk to Americans or hear from Americans who have no idea this is coming.
	They have no idea. You're not going to be able to just sit back and watch this on Twitter.
	You're not going to be immune from this.
	You're going to be impacted directly because the radical left will sabotage the infrastructure.
	You're going to see oil refineries destroyed.
	You're going to see bridges, pipelines, you know, ports, highways will be disrupted.
	Transportation will be severely disrupted.
	You're going to see attacks on police stations and sheriff's offices.
	You're going to see war waged against this country.
	You're going to see the power grid taken down.
	It will not be reliable, especially in red states when the radical left-wing terrorists, when they go to town against the power grid.
	Ultimately, by the way, see, America has a very strong immune system.
	That immune system begins with the Second Amendment, and then it's infused with the spirit of patriotism and self-defense.
	And there are a great many patriots across America.
	Many of them are veterans. Many of them are active duty or retired law enforcement.
	Many of them are just... Great Americans who are also armed and who care about their country and they don't want to see everything destroyed.
	This immune system will get activated immediately and it will push back hard and it will be victorious, I believe.
	The immune system of America is what's going to see us through.
	But during that time period, however long that takes, six months, two years, five years, I don't know how long it's going to take.
	There's going to be a tremendous amount of destruction, of economic damage, and infrastructure sabotage that will recalibrate your experience of what it means to live in America.
	Forget about prime deliveries on Amazon.
	Forget about just-in-time grocery store deliveries of all your favorite foods stocked to the brim on grocery store shelves.
	Forget about that. Forget about affordable gasoline and diesel.
	None of that will exist.
	You'll be living in a whole new experience of America, which will look a lot more like modern-day Ukraine, for example, or even some parts of it might look closer to Gaza.
	You're going to be living in a kinetic war zone.
	The closer you are to the cities, The higher your chances of not surviving what's coming.
	And this is what Michael Jan speaks about.
	And I just interviewed Michael Jan, by the way, with an update of what's coming.
	And he reiterates this very important idea that if you are in the cities, you will likely die.
	Those are his words.
	And he has seen it again and again and again.
	And it's not every city, but especially the blue cities, because you can't get resources into the city very easily.
	They require artificial inputs and a lot of outputs, such as sewage, in order to function.
	Now, understand that these radical leftists who tend to inhabit these cities, they are driven by extreme hatred right now.
	They hate Donald Trump.
	The incessant media brainwashing of the population has impregnated the consciousness of these people with absolute hatred for Donald Trump and his supporters.
	And this is not the way conservatives think about people on the left.
	Conservatives don't want to mass murder leftists.
	Conservatives just want to defeat them at the ballot box.
	But leftists, most of them, want to mass murder conservatives and Trump supporters and Trump himself.
	And that's why they cheered the assassination attempt of Trump.
	And once you understand this, it becomes clear What the left is going to do.
	If they gain political power, they will use it to murder you.
	If they lose political power, they will unleash murder to try to punish America to make it ungovernable.
	That's their plan. It's now right out in the open.
	Everything that Alex Jones warned us about is coming true in real time.
	You should listen to his warnings.
	You should listen to Michael Young.
	You should listen to Matt Bracken.
	And all three of those individuals are prominent on Twitter if you want to check out their channels.
	You should listen to the warnings that I'm sharing with you here today.
	This is not a drill.
	Famine is going to be part of this as well.
	Kamala has already promised price controls, and that means the shelves are going to go empty.
	Michael Yan confirmed this with me in our latest interview.
	You're going to have empty shelves.
	You're going to have mass starvation.
	You're going to have people losing their minds because of hunger.
	So it's going to exacerbate the violence.
	At the same time, you're going to see government releasing violent criminals onto the streets on purpose.
	You see this in the UK right now, where they've said they're going to release thousands of violent criminals to make room for jailing the keyboard warriors who have tweeted mean things about immigrants.
	So if you're in jail in the UK for stabbing, raping, shooting, murdering, looting, carjacking, well, you'll be put back onto the streets.
	Because the serious crimes in the UK are if you tweet out a meme that is mean to illegal immigrants.
	That's the real crime in the UK, you see.
	So mass violence is going to accelerate across the UK. Similar thing will happen in America if Democrats are in charge.
	They will unleash the prisoners onto America because they want to see the country burned down.
	Obviously, If we can defeat the Democrats at the polls, then we may be able to stave some of this off, but not all of it.
	We're going to go through a radical armed left-wing uprising one way or another.
	So my advice to you is to be prepared.
	Be ready for this psychologically.
	Be ready for this in terms of your own safety and self-defense for your family, your property, your community.
	Be ready with extra supplies in anticipation Of the power grid failing.
	Anticipation of grocery store deliveries not working in a timely manner.
	Be ready for fuel supplies to dwindle.
	Be ready for infrastructure failures, even a loss of city water supplies or a failure of sewage systems.
	Because when you're ready for those things, then it won't hit you as a surprise when it happens.
	So get ready, stay prepared.
	I'm Mike Adams. Thank you for listening.
	God bless you all. You can find more of my reports at brighteon.com.
	Take care. We've got many of these listed at RangerDeals.com.
	If you want to check that out, you'll find a lot of discount codes and links.
	Usually the discount code is Ranger.
	And that's on things including firearms and body armor.
	Of course, keep it legal wherever you are.
	And the firearms have to be shipped to an FFL. So you'll need to, of course, obey federal, local, and state laws in terms of acquiring firearms.
	But you don't need a permit from the government to have a satellite phone.
	or backup energy supply and our sponsor the satellite phone store at sat123.com provides these backup communication devices that can be lifesavers especially when the radical left is attacking the infrastructure.
	And they're attacking the power grid.
	And they're attacking everything that keeps society functioning.
	And let me give you a little secret here.
	Wink, wink.
	Okay? There's no other way to say that.
	I mean, I can't wink verbally only, but I'll just say winkity wink.
	If you call the satellite phone store and you tell them that you heard about satellite phones from this podcast...
	You will have a much easier time getting a phone without having to be dragged through all kinds of identity and background checks and all the stuff for sort of unknown people walking in through the front door.
	You know what I'm saying? Okay, I'm pretty sure you can fill in the blanks there.
	It's good to have a satellite phone that doesn't expose details that might compromise your privacy.
	That's just something to note.
	Okay, moving on.
	Did you know that Ukraine lawmakers, they've just approved a law that will ban the Orthodox Church?
	It's the largest Orthodox Church in the country of Ukraine.
	And apparently they're going to start arresting priests because this Orthodox Church was said to have ties to, you know, Moscow, Russia.
	Even though the Church essentially denounced Russia and said we have no ties to Russia, this law has been passed.
	And it's been confirmed by lawmakers in a series of Telegram posts.
	Quote, among the people, it's called the law banning the Moscow Church.
	And so, well, the people's deputies voted for it.
	The law will take effect in 30 days.
	And apparently it gives, let's see, it gives the Orthodox Church up to nine months to sever all ties with the Russian Orthodox Church.
	But the Ukraine church has already declared autonomy from the Russian church.
	And so I'm not sure what's going to happen.
	It looks like more church raids will happen.
	And understand that Ukraine is a country that banned freedom of the press, which is recognized as the First Amendment in America, obviously, but also they're banning freedom of religion, which is also part of the First Amendment in America.
	So how can it be that American leaders, political leaders, government leaders, How could it be they're claiming to defend freedom for the Ukrainian people and freedom for Europe when the very country that they're arming and sending money to violates the most important amendment of our Bill of Rights, which is the First Amendment, violates it in a multitude of ways?
	You're not allowed to protest against the government in Ukraine.
	You're not allowed to peaceably assemble.
	You are not allowed to post or write anything online against the government of Ukraine.
	And if you don't believe me, just look at all the people that have been incarcerated.
	Or Gonzalo Lira, essentially killed by the government of Ukraine.
	And he's an American citizen.
	Essentially killed. I mean, arrested, tortured, and killed because he spoke out against the government of Ukraine.
	And you're also then not allowed to worship in the way that you choose to worship.
	So if you're wondering what we need to be fighting for politically in America to defend, we must defend our right to speak, our right to peaceably assemble, our right to exercise freedom of religion, because if we don't, we become Ukraine.
	We become Ukraine, not Russia.
	Russia is not shutting down its Orthodox Church, is it?
	No, Ukraine is doing that.
	The lawmakers in Ukraine are doing that.
	So, in America, how will the government be weaponized against us and our churches, huh?
	There is an important question for you.
	In fact, the sermon that I recorded today, but it won't be played for a couple of days, the title is, and it cites Jeremiah 8, verse 8, that Christ is an advocate of decentralization against corrupt churches and corrupt governments.
	Did you know that?
	Did you know that Christ was a revolutionary decentralization advocate?
	This is why I say the Bible is such a red pill book.
	It's such a radical pro-human, pro-freedom, pro-liberty book that if it were published today, Amazon would ban it.
	You know, there's nothing more anti-woke than the Bible.
	I mean, if you've never read the Bible, it's radical.
	I mean, start with the New Testament, by the way, because the Old Testament will put you into a snooze fest.
	Although there's a lot of stuff in there that's also really amazing.
	And that's what I'm covering in my 100 sermons.
	And I'm up to sermon number 27 now.
	27 days of a sermon each day.
	Boy, this is like a speed study course of the Bible here.
	You never learn something as rapidly as when you teach it.
	Just by teaching these sermons, I am learning more and more amazing things.
	Like, for example, did you know that John the Baptist, when he came out of the wilderness to, I believe, the town of Galilee there, right before Christ showed up, did you know what John the Baptist was wearing?
	Any idea? Camel's hair.
	And guess what he was eating?
	Guess what John the Baptist was eating?
	And this is mentioned in Mark, you know, the Gospel according to Mark.
	Guess what John the Baptist was eating?
	Locusts with wild honey.
	Locusts with wild honey.
	Mmm, you know what I call that?
	Biblical Rice Krispie Treats.
	It's like, what do we have that's kind of crispy?
	Locusts, yeah. What do we have that's sweet and gooey?
	Honey? Let's just put them in a giant bowl and mix them together.
	Biblical Rice Krispie Treats.
	Can you imagine, like, walking down the road with camel hair, clothes, scratching a lot, probably?
	This is itchy!
	And then you're chewing on something.
	Mmm! Super delicious.
	Crunch, crunchity crunch.
	Little locust legs hanging out the side of your mouth, you know?
	And people are like, who is this guy?
	It's like, it's a hardcore dude coming out of the wilderness.
	Who is this guy? That's John the Baptist, man.
	Don't mess with John the Baptist.
	That dude's hard to kill.
	He can just eat locusts and find wild honey and he can skin camels and wear them.
	I'm telling you, the Bible is freaking awesome.
	But obviously I'm not the first person to recognize that, but I am seeing the Bible in a whole different light now, knowing what we know today, having been red-pilled, having lived through COVID and so on.
	The Bible means so much more now than it ever could without the experiences that we've all been through.
	So if you hang on each day now, you're going to hear one of my sermons after, typically after the interview.
	And we'll do that today also.
	Yeah, can you imagine? God said, there shall be a plague of locusts.
	And John the Baptist said, dinner time, man!
	Grab the honey. We'll eat our way through the plague.
	You are hard to kill if you can eat the plague of locusts.
	This could be really good.
	Somebody should teach the Bible from a prepper point of view.
	I'm teaching the Bible from a nutrition point of view.
	Somebody should be like the survivalist Bible guide and talk about what people ate and wore and how they survived in some very harsh environments.
	That would be kind of cool, wouldn't it?
	Be like, Jesus was a prepper.
	You should be too.
	Something like that. Hey, here's something interesting.
	According to the WHO, this weight loss drug called the semaglutide That people inject it in themselves, you know, and it's actually made from a reptile, venom peptide, you know, the Gila monster.
	And people love to inject themselves with these things, like jab themselves in the abdomen.
	I'm going to lose weight, you know, and they give themselves a shot once a week.
	Turns out that a new study shows that this is linked to a 45% increase in higher suicide risk.
	I mean, I shouldn't laugh.
	I'm sorry. But isn't it kind of suicide to inject yourself with reptile venom peptides anywhere?
	Aren't you kind of committing suicide?
	And then I guess some people are like, this suicide is not fast enough, you know?
	Just want to speed it up.
	And so they, you know, put a gun to their head or whatever they do.
	I'm sorry. I mean, I don't wish violence upon anybody.
	But something's wrong.
	If you're injecting yourself with Satan's molecules, you know?
	You probably are trying to kill yourself, is my point.
	So I'm not surprised that there's higher suicide rates linked to this.
	But, you know, the really high suicide rates are linked to people who have genital mutilations with transgenderism surgery and chemical castrations and all the gender-affirming care drugs and so on.
	Because that's, you know, a lot of people try to detransition later and they realize that they were duped into it.
	They were tricked. They were lied to.
	They were told, it's going to be great.
	You know, you're going to have a bonus hole now.
	You know, everything's going to be cool.
	And then they find out that it's always infected and it hurts and everything's horrible and it stinks.
	And they're like, what did you do to me?
	You know, I mean, I feel sorry for those people.
	I'm not mocking them. I feel sorry for them.
	They have been tricked.
	And a lot of those people end up killing themselves, sadly.
	Because of the transgender medical industry pushing this onto children.
	It's wicked.
	It's evil. It's satanic.
	But then there's a lot of people who also inject themselves with Satan's molecules, you know, and they think it's a weight loss drug.
	And for a time, it does.
	It does cause them to lose weight.
	And they also lose nerve function.
	And, you know, their faces get all...
	Funky looking, like zombie looking.
	Have you heard of that? There's a name for that.
	I'm not going to mention the brand names of the drugs I'm talking about, but there's a name for the kind of face that people end up having when they've done a lot of sudden weight loss.
	And they walk around with their shirt halfway up to show how skinny they are.
	And at first, everybody's looking at their thin waist.
	They're like, wow, you have a really amazing small waist.
	And then their eyes go up to the face and they're like, what happened to your face?
	It's like... Your waist looks awesome, but your face looks like they just ran a Kentucky Derby horse race over your face.
	What happened to it? So, you know, look, shortcuts always have consequences, is the point.
	And wouldn't it be easier, instead of, you know, poisoning yourself with reptile venom and having a much higher risk of suicide, could it possibly be a better solution to eat healthier, make better food choices, you know, Put down the donuts!
	Put down the donuts!
	Get on your knees!
	You know, like an arrest, like a food police arrest.
	Put down the donuts!
	We'll fire the tasers!
	I'm sorry. It's like some people are a threat to themselves.
	With the junk food they consume.
	But, you know, if you go onto YouTube or Facebook and if you tell people to eat healthier, you'll be banned because it doesn't support the profits of the food industry and the drug industry.
	So if you tell people, you know, eat healthier, stop eating processed foods and toxic ingredients and toxic pharmaceuticals, you'll be banned with the excuse that you're encouraging self-harm.
	Seriously, you're encouraging self-harm.
	But if you go onto Facebook and YouTube and you tell people, hey, inject reptile venoms all day long, yeah, have chemotherapy toxic agents dripped into your blood supply, yeah, eat all kinds of endless processed food and, you know, have all kinds of pride in being, you know, morbidly obese, you know, Consume more junk food, more.
	They won't ban you.
	They won't ban you at all.
	They'll probably make you the number one channel in that category.
	Like, yes, you're promoting all the advertisers on this platform that sell toxic crap to the public, you see.
	So think about that.
	If you have a message that's pro-human, you're censored.
	If you have a message that's anti-human and pro-death cult, then you're promoted, you're recognized in society.
	And if you do enough satanic nonsense, then they'll turn you into like a pop music star.
	Right? You've seen that.
	And last night at the DNC, there was some kind of leak to the press that said that Beyonce is going to appear and perform at the DNC. Now, I don't know about you, but I only know of even the name Beyonce because other people have said that name a lot.
	If you showed me a picture of 20...
	Black women? I could not pick out Beyonce.
	I have no idea, really.
	I'm not... No familiarity with who this woman is and what her songs are or anything like that.
	And I really have no desire to be deeply informed about whatever her, you know, satanic music activities are, music videos.
	I have no interest whatsoever.
	And then for the white liberal women...
	There was also a leak that, what's her name, Taylor Swift was going to perform.
	And again, Taylor Swift in the same category for me, I couldn't possibly care less than about Taylor Swift.
	I don't know what songs she sings.
	I have no interest in her songs.
	I've seen some little short clips, video clips of her showing up in my feed on Twitter.
	I'm like, pass, pass, pass.
	I could not care at all about who is Taylor Swift and whatever she's doing, what she's singing about.
	It's irrelevant to me.
	But there was all this buzz that either Taylor Swift was going to perform or Beyonce was going to perform.
	And remember, they will always present the folk heroes for you or the pop culture heroes for all the different demographics.
	So they'll have like a compromised black woman pop culture hero.
	They'll have a compromised white woman.
	They'll have a compromised black man and then a compromised like Western music man.
	And they'll all be given the same orders.
	They're all reading from the same cue cards.
	And that's basically Satan's instructions to destroy America by deceiving people and making Satanism and destruction look really fun and enticing.
	And that's what they do.
	And that's why they are allowed to become popular because they are performing Satan's work to destroy this nation.
	Have no illusions.
	It's not a free market competition in the music world.
	I mean, it's laughable even to think about that.
	You don't get famous in the music world for creating better music.
	You get famous by selling your soul to Satan.
	You get famous by compromising whatever humanity you might have had and agreeing to be a puppet for the globalists and a puppet for the demon rat party or the democrat party.
	That's what makes you or allows you to become popular.
	Same thing's true in sports.
	If you're a football star, basketball star, baseball star, if you use your celebrity status in order to promote Satanism, abortion rituals, Power over people, anti-liberty messages, transhumanism messages, pro-vaccine messages, and so on.
	Then you will be made into a superstar, even if your performance sucks.
	But if you're a great football player and you give praise to Jesus, well, now, you might be dropped from the team.
	You might be fined because, you know, any kind of a Christian cross or a Bible verse or anything like that will be disallowed.
	Same thing at the Olympics, which obviously is a celebration to Lucifer.
	You know, they were even mocking the Last Supper of Jesus Christ there.
	And then claim, well, we weren't mocking Christ.
	It's just a coincidence that it all lines up exactly like the painting.
	You know, come on. Do they think we're stupid?
	Yeah, of course they do. Well, anyway, neither Beyonce nor Taylor Swift actually showed up.
	So it was all a big lie from the Democrats to claim that somebody big, some super famous person was going to show up.
	It was going to be a game changer.
	And then that's not at all what happened.
	Instead, Tim Walls yanked around his autistic son on stage, dragged him around a little bit, which did not seem appropriate to me.
	But that's what happened.
	So... That's not the same as Taylor Swift or Beyonce, is it?
	Now, what's interesting to me about watching the Democrats cheer this criminal cabal, I'm talking about the Democrat voters, cheering all this theater, all these lies, pretending that Kamala stands for democracy when, of course, the Democrat Party utterly rejects democracy,
	pretending they stand for liberty when the Democrat Party blocks people from speaking freely, pretending they support America when the Democrat Party hates America, pretending even that they support Israel when, in fact, much of the Democrat Party despises Israel and wants much of the Democrat Party despises Israel and wants to see Israel destroyed.
	So it's just a theater.
	It's just a series of lies.
	And the voters, the stooges who are supporting all of this, it's difficult to teach them how to be free.
	And I've got a really great metaphor for this that just happened in my life.
	You know, I've got several dogs, and they are really amazing dogs.
	And you know, I've got one super amazing dog, Rhodey, and he's incredibly intelligent.
	And I've got several dogs that sometimes they beg to come indoors, and then sometimes they want to be let out.
	They want to go outdoors, and they're always, when I'm trying to work, even sometimes when I'm trying to record, like right now, They will scratch on the door or sometimes they'll do silent barking, whatever, like, I want in, I want out.
	And when you have a number of dogs, then, you know, the combinations of wanting to go in and out can get pretty crazy, especially in the summer heat of Texas right now.
	It's brutally hot. But I've got air conditioning running indoors, so they want to come indoors for the air con, and then they want to go outdoors to take a leak, and then they want to come back indoors, you know, in and out.
	So I bought a doggy door, and I put the doggy door, pardon my pronunciation, I put the doggy door, I installed it in the door, the people door.
	And what's interesting about this doggy door and the behavior of the dogs is that this doggy door has a flap that has a magnetic line at the bottom so that it kind of makes contact with the bottom.
	It's so that just air doesn't move in and out or mosquitoes or bugs or whatever.
	And it only takes a little bit of pressure to open this flap.
	But, but...
	Most of my dogs, other than Rhodey, most of my dogs, they don't yet understand that they can open the flap themselves.
	So I'm working with them.
	It's only been a day. I'm working with them.
	I'm trying to sort of open the flap for them and encourage them with some treats like, come on through.
	You can do it. And then they come through and then I praise them.
	Oh my gosh, you're so amazing.
	You walked through the flap.
	And then I let them back in the other way.
	And like when I fed them today, I made sure that they came through the flap in order to get their food.
	And what I'm trying to do, if you think about it, I'm trying to teach my dogs to be free.
	I'm trying to teach them that you can open the door yourself.
	You don't have to wait for somebody else to do it for you.
	Now, Democrats don't understand this.
	and their people.
	They don't realize they don't have to elect some tyrant to open the door for them, that they can choose to be free themselves.
	And trying to teach Democrats to be free is way more difficult than trying to teach my dogs to open a magnetic flap.
	And by the way, Rhodey got it almost immediately, just took maybe two times.
	And he was like, oh, yeah, of course I can push this thing myself.
	So Rhodey's going in and out, brum, brum, brum, like anytime he wants, he's in and out, and I praise him every time that he uses the door, because I'm hoping some of the other dogs, who are not quite as bright, will watch that and realize for themselves, hey, hey, maybe I could open the door too!
	You're right? And this is literal, and it's a metaphor, you know?
	Can we learn to open doors in our lives by watching other people open doors?
	So here's the takeaway from this.
	Friends, all of you listening to this, when you can demonstrate freedom, you are setting an example for other people who may be watching you to teach them, hey, you can open your doors too.
	If you can open the doors, you're like my dog, Rhodey, who's got it all figured out.
	He's cruising in and out anytime he wants.
	He's in command.
	He doesn't have to wait for me.
	He doesn't have to ask me for permission.
	He opens the door anytime he wants.
	Wouldn't it be great if all of us could be like Rhodey?
	Just walk in and out of the doors.
	It's like, for a dog, it's like bending the rules of the matrix.
	It's like, wow, he's got superhuman capabilities.
	He can open doors and close them at will.
	If we could just demonstrate that across the board and let other people watch us, they could be inspired.
	And then they could learn to open doors and they wouldn't have to rely on authoritarians and tyrants who tell them what they're authorized to do and often what they must do.
	You must take the vaccine.
	You must wear the mask.
	You must not speak in this way.
	You cannot use these words, right?
	It's all authoritarian. But some people...
	They're like simple-minded dogs.
	They want to be told what to do because it's easier.
	They don't want to have to open the flap.
	They don't want to have to push their nose against the flap or their paw against the flap.
	Too much work.
	It's so much work to have to open doors ourselves.
	They just wait for somebody else to do it for them, and then they vote for whatever candidate the Democrat machine put in front of them and said was awesome.
	And they're just like, okay, just press vote.
	And that's it. Dumber than a dog.
	Seriously, dumber than a dog.
	Dumber than my dog, anyway.
	My dog has realized he can open his own doors.
	I think in California, my dog's qualified to vote for sure in Minnesota.
	That's 100%.
	I should take him to Minnesota.
	And he could qualify to vote there, no question about it.
	And he is.
	He's an American resident.
	And he's got a passport, by the way.
	I don't know if you knew this. My dog has a passport.
	Well, it's a European passport.
	But now he has documents in the USA. So he's a documented immigrant voter.
	Couldn't he be in Minnesota?
	I think so. Alright, moving on to other news.
	We have something, well, pretty shocking here coming out of Massachusetts.
	Turns out that beginning January 1 of next year, Massachusetts is banning the sale of new diesel trucks.
	You will not be able to purchase a diesel truck in the state of Massachusetts because the state has adopted this new CARB-Low-NOX-Omnibus rule.
	In other words, these rules...
	Are created in order to outlaw combustion engines.
	So the rules are created with the excuse that, oh, this is about having clean trucks and clean vehicles.
	But in reality, it's about destroying them all together.
	So on X, someone posted a letter from a truck dealer.
	It's called, I can't quite see the logo, but it's Ballard or Bala something truck center.
	It's a CARB letter to customers, and it says the following.
	We're writing to inform our customers of some impending changes in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that will negatively affect everyone involved in the trucking industry.
	As of January 1, Massachusetts will be adopting the CARB Low Nox Omnibus Rule, which addresses emissions from diesel trucks.
	At the same time, the CARB Act, which is ACT means Advanced Clean Truck, that's so clever, regulation will be adopted, which requires increasing percentages of the sale of zero emissions vehicles.
	In other words, what this law says is that you can only sell diesel trucks if you've also sold a certain number of electric trucks at the same time.
	It's kind of like, you know, it's a quota system.
	You have to have a certain ratio between the diesel trucks you sell and the electric trucks you sell, okay?
	So the letter goes on and says, the only zero-emission vehicle available to replace a diesel truck is a battery electric vehicle, Both regulations will have a devastating impact on truck dealers, our customers, and the Commonwealth.
	And then it says Ballard, oh, I guess it's Ballard.
	Ballard has been making every effort to sell battery electric vehicles over the last several years.
	We have sold six such vehicles since 2022.
	All of them have been sold into a refuse application.
	In other words, trash trucks.
	Because, you know...
	No other truck dealer in the state has sold as many as we have.
	Despite our efforts and the efforts of the OEMs, it is apparent that achieving the ratios necessary to meet the Omnibus and Act rules in 2025 is unattainable for all truck OEMs and dealers.
	This rule is not specific to Mac, Volvo, Isuzu, and Hino, which we represent.
	It applies to all manufacturers.
	As a result, here's the bottom line.
	As a result, we will not be allowed to sell or lease a diesel truck built after December 31, 2024, to a customer that plans to register it in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
	We will be forced to sell vehicles in other states or not sell at all.
	And it goes on and talks about the financial impacts and so on.
	Over the last five years, heavy-duty registrations in Massachusetts have averaged 875 per year.
	Medium-duty registrations, 670 per year.
	And it talks about the impact to the Commonwealth will be a loss of over $14 million in state sales tax revenue.
	Alas, people of Ballard, You have told the truth, but you have failed to grasp the deeper point, which is that the so-called Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which is misnamed because wealth is not common, it's reserved for the select few at the top, but the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not want transportation infrastructure to function.
	Because the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is run by anti-human, anti-American, Luciferian destroyers of our nation.
	And shutting down the infrastructure that provides transportation to food and farms is like part of the plan.
	It's like the third chapter.
	You know, it's like, first of all, shut down energy, shut down combustion engines, shut down transportation, shut down all the farms, right?
	They're just going down the checklist one by one.
	Shut off everything that makes America tick.
	Destroy the economy. Destroy freedom of speech.
	Destroy the rule of law.
	Destroy cities.
	Overrun them with violence and immigrants.
	Destroy the border. This is what Massachusetts leaders all believe in.
	Isn't Senator Elizabeth Warren, isn't she a senator of Massachusetts as well?
	I think so. Look at her policies.
	I mean, come on. Unbelievable.
	Unbelievable. And look at the mayor of Boston, Mayor Wu, who's a freaking lunatic if you've watched any of the things that she has advocated.
	She's a lunatic. Now, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has tweeted out something interesting, saying that since Kamala Harris took office as the VP, total prices across America are up 20%.
	Gas prices are up over 50%.
	Energy bills are up 30%.
	Grocery prices are up over 21%.
	And she hasn't even been president yet.
	Imagine what she'll do to these prices.
	You can count on food going up 100%.
	And gas prices another 100%.
	Energy prices also maybe 50%.
	It's going to get insane if the Democrats remain in power because they will weaponize the government.
	They will destroy the infrastructure.
	They are a wrecking crew of terrorists who seek the total destruction of America and the extermination of the American people.
	That is not an exaggeration.
	It's not hyperbole.
	This is their policy.
	And they are pursuing it deliberately, step by step.
	Now, what happens if Trump wins?
	Well, there's an account on Twitter called War Clandestine.
	Or clandestine, if you pronounce it that way.
	That kind of lays out a pretty good description.
	This is cool. The year is 2025.
	Donald Trump is your president.
	The border is secure.
	World War III has been canceled, and the economy is recovering.
	RFK Jr. is the head of a three-letter agency, cleansing our government, tackling the health crisis, and enacting the COVID reckoning.
	Elon Musk is an advisor to Trump and leading the government efficiency task force, helping to trim the fat, drain the swamp, and using his expertise in manufacturing, energy, transportation, space, information, etc.
	to help return the U.S. to her greatness.
	Vivek Ramaswamy is serving as a top diplomat and valuable asset to the Trump administration, using his experience with pharma and deep state corruption to assist Trump in his retribution and carry on the future of the MAGA movement.
	And by the way, don't forget about the Secretary of Retribution, Ivan Raikland.
	Make sure you include the Secretary of Retribution in this.
	But continuing, General Mike Flynn is serving as a top intelligence director.
	Where he has the tool to hunt deep state actors and reveal where the bodies are buried.
	This is what awaits us if we are victorious in November, right?
	Like a movie preview or whatever.
	Okay, so granted that is a little bit of flourish.
	Added to reality there.
	I mean, that's kind of the Hollywood version of what might happen.
	You know, in reality, the deep state would probably launch nuclear weapons and try to destroy America, and they would try to murder Trump five more times, you know, and Elon Musk would be threatened.
	I mean, you know, it's going to be an ongoing political war, no question about it, but...
	The point of this is well taken.
	We could have a much brighter future if we defeat the Democrats in this election.
	I absolutely agree with that.
	I'm just saying it's not all going to be rosy.
	It's going to be an ongoing battle no matter what.
	So to get a very realistic picture of what Trump would do as president, well, he made an announcement that he's going to seek the death penalty for people found guilty of human trafficking.
	So capital punishment coming back.
	Also for illegal immigrants found guilty of drug dealing, human trafficking, child trafficking, or sex trafficking.
	So I don't know what the cutoff point here is of like how big of a drug dealer you have to be to get the death penalty.
	I don't know. Or if you're an illegal immigrant who kills police, kills sheriffs, kills Border Patrol, ICE, or other law enforcement officials, Trump saying, quote, We will liberate our country from the illegal, alien, drug dealers, robbers, murderers, gang members.
	We will make America safe again for our citizens and make it greater, stronger, better, more beautiful than ever before, he said.
	So what do you think about that?
	I'm curious to know your thoughts.
	On one hand, you can agree it's probably time to get tough, especially against people who are, quote, human traffickers.
	But then on the other hand, it's easy to see how government often abuses the letter of the law to misapply these things to people who are not what it was originally intended for.
	For example, let's say that there's a Mexican-American man who is an American citizen and is also a citizen of Mexico.
	Let's say dual citizen, Mexican-American, okay?
	And let's say that he has a sister that he wants to help cross the border because she's fleeing like the drug cartels or fleeing prostitution or something.
	Like she's become a sex captive in Mexico, right?
	And the brother is trying to free her from Mexico and to get her into America.
	But the only way to do that is to smuggle her across the border in his own way or in his own van or whatever.
	So it's his sister and he stuffs her in the trunk of the car with her permission and starts to drive her across the border to get her away from sex slavery in Mexico.
	Then he gets busted by Border Patrol and their human sniffing dog.
	The human sniffing dog says, hey, there's somebody in the trunk.
	They pop the trunk like, oh, you're arrested.
	You're a human trafficker.
	And according to Trump, We're going to kill you now.
	You're facing the death penalty for human trafficking.
	Well, now, you see what I mean?
	That's not the scenario that most people think of when Trump says human trafficking.
	You think human trafficking, you think somebody's got a bunch of children in chains and stuffed into the back of a meatpacking van or something, and they're being taken against their will.
	That kind of thing. That's what you're thinking, right?
	But the government can apply the phrase, quote, human trafficking to people who are voluntarily going along with this for circumstances that may not have been imagined by Trump or anybody else.
	So I'm just saying, look, I mean, I'm sick of the actual human trafficking, and I've had enough of the wide open borders.
	I've had enough of the illegals committing crimes against Americans and so on.
	But be careful what you ask for when you start calling for the death penalty and applying it to a category of people without an understanding of how some future administration may interpret that phrase.
	It's like, oh, well, we're going to just say that vitamin C is a drug and then you're a drug trafficker.
	Oh, now we have to kill you as the government because drug traffickers have to be killed.
	I mean, it's crazy.
	Someone that I used to know, Greg Caton, passed away a few years ago.
	He was listed by Interpol as an international drug trafficker.
	Do you know what he was doing?
	He was selling an anti-cancer botanical skin salve from his manufacturing facility in Ecuador.
	He was selling it essentially through the mail, through international shipping.
	He was selling people cancer cures.
	Interpol listed him as an international drug dealer and that he was wanted for drug-related crimes.
	Why? Because the FDA said that his cancer treatment was a, quote, unapproved drug.
	So under Trump's New rule, the U.S. government would have executed Greg Caton, even though he was only selling herbal cancer treatments.
	You see what I mean? Yeah, be careful what you wish for.
	When you start calling on government to start murdering people, and you think it's all good, but you haven't thought about all the situations and how the FDA twists the words and how Interpol twists all the words and how they lie to you and have false accusations, you know, seriously. You can be asking for a lot of trouble.
	You start running around saying that the government should just kill a bunch of people.
	If you want to know who the real drug traffickers are in America, it's people like Anthony Fauci.
	It's your cancer doctor at the oncology clinic.
	It's the big pharma whores.
	It's the doctors getting payoffs and bribes and kickbacks from big pharma prescribing anti-cholesterol drugs and anti-psychotic drugs and anti-cancer drugs.
	Most of which are harming you.
	Those are the real drug dealers that are actually killing people in America.
	It's the vaccine pushers.
	But, of course, I wouldn't call for the death penalty for those people.
	But for the CEOs of the drug companies that faked the studies and lied and bribed government officials, they should be indicted, they should be prosecuted, they should be charged appropriately for the crimes they have committed.
	Those are the real drug dealers in America.
	I'm not so much concerned about some dude on the street corner selling a bag of weed as much as I am a university demanding that every student and staff member be vaccinated with a death jab biological weapon engineered to cause human depopulation.
	That's the far greater threat against us all.
	By the way, Nicole Shanahan, she's the VP pick for RFK Jr., she said...
	That the announcement coming today will be, quote, one of the biggest events in American election history.
	Hmm. I wonder what that could be.
	But let's hear her say it, just in case you don't trust me.
	She sat down with Ask Dr.
	Drew. Let's give this a listen.
	Let me ask one direct question.
	Yeah. Should we have our ear to the ground?
	Is something going to come soon?
	Yeah, absolutely. I think that Friday is going to be one of the biggest events in American election history.
	What time? Where should I tune in?
	The details will be shared.
	Where? Go to Bobby's X account and Team Kennedy will be releasing a press release as well.
	Well, that's an interesting way to say that.
	It'll be one of the biggest events in American election history.
	She didn't say American history.
	She said American election history which indicates to me that this is going to be some announcement about the mechanism of elections.
	Right? I mean, she didn't say the biggest event in campaign history even or in the history of a presidential administration.
	This is the biggest event or one of the biggest events in American election history.
	So What about the idea that RFK Jr.
	might tell all of his people to vote for Trump in the swing states, and then Trump might tell his followers to vote for RFK in the blue states where Trump absolutely will not win anyway, like California and New York, whatever.
	I don't think Trump could win California.
	So that would be a win-win trade where Trump would get the votes that he needs.
	That is, if people go along with this, Trump would get the votes he needs to win the swing states, get the 270 electoral votes, plus a lot more, maybe 320 or 350, win the presidency.
	But then at the same time, RFK Jr. would get over 5% of the total votes in the election, which would qualify his party and his campaign for millions of dollars in government funds, federal election funds, and it would legitimize the party and ballot access for the and it would legitimize the party and ballot access for the next You see what I mean?
	So I think RFK Jr. is a long-term big-picture thinker.
	And I think that RFK Jr., he's got a lot of runway left in what he wants to accomplish for this country.
	And he may be looking four years ahead and saying, hey, you know, maybe he'll run for president in 2028.
	And the way to set that up is to do this deal with Trump, this strategic vote swap.
	I don't know. Maybe swap's not the right word, but sort of a friendly handshake between the two camps.
	vote and also get Trump the swing states and in doing so get these crooked criminal Democrats out of office where they can stop destroying this country.
	I can see that happening.
	I don't have any inside information, by the way.
	Maybe that's not it at all.
	Maybe you'll be laughing at this when you hear what the official announcement is.
	I don't know.
	But that would be a clever thing to do.
	It's a win-win. So this is going to be an interesting announcement, that's for sure.
	I will cover it this weekend, by the way.
	So definitely stay tuned for more updates from my channel.
	Okay, for the interview today, I'm actually going to run the interview that I did with Roger Stone.
	and he has been pardoned.
	I mean, this guy has been through the thick of it, and he's still here fighting for America as a man of faith and a man of courage.
	So I was honored to be on his show.
	I'd like to play that for you now.
	And then on the other side of that, we will have today's sermon, which I believe is about how Jesus activates God's healing miracles in us all, And I'm covering the Gospel according to Mark, at least the first four chapters of Mark, which contains also the reference to John the Baptist wearing camel's hair and eating locusts with wild honey, which admittedly,
	that does sound like a Rice Krispie treat from...
	From the Bible. Anyway, enjoy this interview, and then enjoy the sermon on the other side, and we'll have more updates for you this weekend based on the RFK announcement, whatever it shall be.
	Going to be interesting.
	We've got new protein products available for you at HealthRangerStore.com.
	Check this out. You're going to love this.
	This is formulated with Boku Superfood.
	This is the Organic Super Protein Vanilla.
	Now, this is the vegetarian or vegan-friendly format of protein.
	And look at the main ingredient here.
	It is organic pea protein and then coconut sugar, Satcha Inchi protein powder, vanilla bean powder, and so on.
	This is very clean.
	You know how a lot of proteins have issues with arsenic or sometimes contamination with glyphosate or sometimes E. coli.
	These protein products, like everything we sell, are tested for heavy metals as well as glyphosate, E. coli, salmonella, various microbiology.
	And we manufacture this ourselves.
	So it's not outsourced.
	We make it in-house with our clean room standards, with our epoxy floors and our non-porous walls and all of that to meet the most stringent requirements for clean food manufacturing.
	And then we ship it out of Texas.
	So we've got organic super protein vanilla here available.
	And then also there's another version, which is chocolate flavored.
	Here it is. Organic super protein, chocolate, and you know cacao prices are going up, but this is still relatively affordable.
	And look at the ingredients.
	Here we have organic pea protein powder and then cacao powder.
	Organic coconut sugar is a low glycemic sugar that you'll absolutely love.
	It's very rich, it's sweet, but doesn't spike your blood sugar in the same way as processed white sugar.
	So this is a ready to go mix.
	You just mix this in with a blender, mix it with water or like a blender bottle or anything like that, and you'll have a drink ready to go.
	We've also got, of course, whey protein.
	I'm showing these. Yeah, whey protein.
	This is my favorite. I use that in my smoothie every day.
	That's what's actually in this smoothie right here is whey protein and avocados.
	And then we've got pea protein there by itself.
	Also, if you want to do your own flavorings, I like to add bananas.
	I like to add flaxseed or maybe cacao, maybe vanilla.
	but there are a lot of other things that you can add to that in order to make it more of a superfood recipe, but that's up to you.
	So whey protein, pea protein, and then the organic super protein, vanilla, and chocolate, available now at healthrangerstore.com.
	Remember that every purchase helps support this platform so we can continue to bring you a message of truth and courage for humanity.

	And I thank you for your support.
	I'm Roger Stone, and yes, you are back in the Stone Zone.
	Well, the Democrat National Convention is on, and it's kind of like a car crash.
	In other words, you want to look away, but you really can't.
	To me, so far, it seems to be a tsunami of hypocrisy and false virtue signaling.
	And there's a lot to talk about here.
	Joining me as my guest today, I'm very excited about this, is Mike Adams.
	He is the founder and publisher of NaturalNews.com.
	He's a published food scientist and a food science lab owner.
	He's also commonly known as the Health Ranger, and he's successfully launched a number of free speech platforms for patriots and those who love liberty, including Brighteon.com and Brighteon.io.
	I had Mike Adams on my 77 WABC radio show recently, and I really regretted the fact that we only had a hard 30 minutes because there's so much I wanted to talk to him about.
	So I'm honored to welcome my friend Mike Adams, the health ranger, to the Stone Zone today.
	Well, thank you, Roger. It's an honor to be with you today.
	Thanks for having me on. We've got a lot to cover, don't we?
	We certainly do. You know, when I talk to you, I want to talk about food.
	I want to talk about nutrition.
	I want to talk about the state of the nation.
	I want to talk about the epic legal of the deep state.
	It's almost hard to know where to begin, but here's a place to begin.
	As I look at the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, We seem to be getting more questions than we get answers.
	So we know, for example, that all of the combined law enforcement agencies knew that there was an armed man within the perimeter for 92 minutes, but nobody warned President Donald Trump and he was allowed to take the stage.
	We recently learned that the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service, the state police and the local police were all on different radio frequencies.
	So they actually weren't communicating with each other.
	And it's very clear that local police officers saw this man with a gun, who they tell us is Thomas Matthew Crooks, but evidently that was not communicated to the other law enforcement agencies.
	Now you add to that to the fact that we've seen a A graphic image of him speaking on a telephone.
	Who could he possibly have been speaking to other than Confederates?
	And then Congressman Clay Higgins, who's a former police officer who I had the honor to meet and actually pray with at the Republican National Convention, shockingly learned that Crook's body was inexpectably cremated without notice to either his family or to those investigating this crime.
	Here's my question.
	I am one who fears yet another attempt on the president's life.
	People say, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist.
	No, I'm basing this in Samuel 1 within the Bible, the story of two kings, which I think is evocative to this situation.
	The two kings, of course, being Saul and David.
	Saul, who was an illegitimate king.
	Saul, whose kingdom was taken from him by God because he disobeyed God.
	And David, the good king, who Saul tried to kill at least three times.
	So, do you think it is legitimate to be concerned about yet another assassination attempt on President Donald Trump?
	No, I think that's a rational concern.
	And let's back up to what actually happened on that day.
	We now know, I mean, you're correct, that the FBI is now destroying any kind of forensic evidence, such as the cremation of the body that they claim belonged to the shooter, so no one can examine his body.
	But let's look at the shooting itself.
	You know, the Secret Service did not respond with their own gunfire until 16 seconds after the first shot was fired.
	Now, whether you believe that Crooks was the lone shooter or there were multiple shooters or maybe some people might say he wasn't the shooter at all, that's irrelevant to the fact that the Secret Service stood down.
	for 16 seconds and it was actually shot number 9 which was made by local law enforcement Working for the local police that stopped crooks.
	And then only after that came the Secret Service shot.
	Now, Roger, you know, I've, you know, I know and I've trained in self-defense with many, you know, many accomplished special forces people, Navy SEALs, long range sniper shooters who are veterans and so on, because I support veterans and I know so many of them.
	And they will tell you that if you're watching a target, as these counter snipers would have been, they would have been glassing him.
	They would have been able to respond to the first opening shot within one to two seconds, is what I'm being told by experts in the field.
	Not 16 seconds.
	So there was a stand down order.
	Somehow also that rooftop was left open, clearly now on purpose.
	I think the Secret Service would have us believe, or at least the higher ups, and I don't mean this to apply to every agent within the Secret Service.
	But at the highest levels, clearly there was a stand-down order to leave that rooftop vulnerable so that there could be an opportunity for a shooter to take a shot at Trump at relatively close range.
	You know, 150 yards or less is considered almost Almost point-blank range for an accomplished sniper shooter using optics.
	Now, Crooks apparently only had a 1X optic, non-magnified, and that would have made the shot quite a bit more difficult.
	But still, 150 yards is not a difficult range for someone who practiced as much as he did.
	So, the bottom line, Roger, the Secret Service was clearly told to stand down.
	In the 16 seconds that they took to respond, someone like Crooks could have emptied an entire 30-round magazine at Trump.
	Now, he only got off, if indeed he's a shooter, he got off eight rounds before local law enforcement shot him.
	What would have happened if he had fired another 22?
	Would he have killed Trump and other Secret Service who were there?
	Or, you know, his protective detail?
	That's a question we need to be asking, because I believe that the highest levels of the US Secret Service need to be indicted, arrested, and questioned about what they knew.
	That's my view. You know, sadly, this is very evocative, of course, of the murder of President John F. Kennedy.
	Just as they immediately cleaned the crime scene, cleaned the area where the shooter's body was photographed, they swabbed down and hosed out the limousine that John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in.
	Within an hour of his murder.
	That seems coincidental to me.
	The Secret Service manual, which I have read, shows that a building within 130 yards should have been searched and sealed.
	It wasn't in Dilley Plaza.
	It certainly wasn't in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	And then the House Republicans, who sadly, I think are the only ones who might have the gumption to to investigate this crime.
	We hear that the Democrat nominees for that committee could include Dan Goldman of New York, a guy who called for Donald Trump to be eliminated only weeks before he was narrowly averted death.
	Really quite extraordinary.
	Now, what really surprises me when you go on X, which is one of the few social media sites where I'm actually allowed, other than Truth Social, There's a huge body of what I call assassination deniers.
	People who insist that not only did this never happen, but it's all a psyop arranged by, guess who?
	Roger Stone. Now, because I'm a free speech absolutist, you know, they're free to say whatever crazy thing they want.
	But I do think that people should not get a false sense of how the landscape has changed.
	Yes, there is more free speech at X than there was.
	There's still limiting free speech on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and so on.
	You have really taken the bull by the horns.
	You have documented that you're being throttled on X, and you've actually taken legal action.
	Tell us about that. Well, yes.
	But first, let me just add that I've also done a forensic analysis of the shooting, as has Dr.
	Chris Martinson. He's actually taken it further than I did.
	And it's very clear from the forensic audio analysis that real shots were fired.
	They were hypersonic rounds from a distance consistent with a shooter either on the roof or in the first floor of that building, possibly the second floor of the adjacent building.
	So unless somebody can fake the laws of physics and the speed of sound, Then there's no way that that shooting was faked, okay?
	So I just want to put that on the record.
	What we have done, to answer your question, is on Memorial Day, we filed, my companies filed a lawsuit against Twitter, against Meta, against Google, YouTube, but also we named government departments.
	We named Alejandro Mayorkas, we named the Department of Defense, DHS, and other government agencies because What was found in discovery from other free speech lawsuits was that my platforms and my companies were specifically named by the United States government as sources to suppress.
	And thus, we have standing in a court of law.
	It took us about a year and a half to get this lawsuit together.
	We've spent a considerable amount of money on it.
	it.
	We have sued Twitter X in addition to the other platforms I mentioned.
	And all we are asking of X is to stop shadow banning conservative accounts and stop banning links to brighton.com, which is our free speech video platform.
	So far, X's legal team has they've been served.
	They've accepted, you know, they've received the lawsuit.
	We've been told they've assigned numerous attorneys to the lawsuit.
	We believe they're taking it seriously.
	And we believe that the censorship of our platforms and the shadow banning of conservatives really was a pre Elon Musk type of activity that perhaps Elon has not yet fully addressed and corrected.
	And we hope that he may direct the company to do that now, especially when facing this very serious free speech lawsuit.
	So that's where we are. I really admire that.
	Look, I am very happy to have my voice back on X. I'm grateful for it.
	But I've also studied it, and I noticed that when you use certain words, you have a far lesser response.
	Far fewer people will see and respond to your posting.
	When you criticize certain people, the same thing happens.
	There's clearly something going on there.
	I don't have the credentials as a technical engineer or an analyst, but Some of it's quite obvious.
	And I commend you for moving ahead.
	I hope you are successful in your suit.
	At the same time, I'm grateful to have my voice back at least on one platform.
	I also love Rumble.com.
	By the way, folks, if you haven't downloaded the Rumble app to your phone, you should do so.
	Please follow us here at the Stone Zone.
	It's Rumble.com slash Rumble.
	Roger Stone and set your notifications so you can see us every day at 8 p.m.
	Eastern on Rumble.
	We would greatly appreciate it.
	Roger, let me add too, I'm a big fan of Rumble and Chris Pawlowski has done really extraordinary work there.
	I've become an admirer of how he's held the line on freedom of speech.
	And also Rumble's been involved in necessary legal action to protect their rights to to speak.
	I think Rumble is a great American success story.
	You know, despite the censorship, they have been able to achieve extraordinary things.
	So I also broadcast on Rumble in addition to our own platform, Brighteon, as well.
	And I believe that that X, it needs to become the free speech champion that Elon often portrays it to be.
	But it has not yet fully fulfilled that vision.
	So he's pointed it in the right direction.
	And we say, Elon, just complete the work, unshadow ban the conservative accounts.
	And Roger, people like you and I, we use Twitter in good faith.
	We provide very valuable content.
	We're not spammy.
	We don't play tricks. We don't post a photo and say, what do you notice about this photo?
	Just to try to get the engagement algorithms up.
	We don't do things like that.
	We use X in good faith.
	We are the quality users of the platform, and I would hope that Elon would recognize that.
	It's absolutely clear in your posting.
	If you post a meme and a snappy comment, you're going to get much greater engagement than if you post a link to an extensive article that documents some of the things that we believe and say.
	And that is unfortunate.
	I also love Truth Social, but I do feel like I'm speaking to the family when I'm there.
	In other words, I feel like I'm speaking to people who largely agree with me.
	There's haters there, too.
	But you know what? I just blocked them.
	President Donald Trump now doing rallies again.
	Secret Service didn't want him to do massive outdoor rallies.
	I think it was a major factor in 2020 when the pandemic was used as the excuse why he couldn't do his signature rallies.
	I think it hurt him badly in the stretch of that campaign.
	If you look at the polling, as soon as he was able to return to the rally trail, he began gaining.
	Now the Secret Service has provided this bulletproof glass enclosure for him, and that gives me some comfort.
	But take a look at this video where Donald Trump comes out from behind the glass closure because someone in the crowd has fainted.
	Let's take a look. We love you, sir!
	The president, swing my hands!
	The president, swing swing my hands!
	The president, swing my hands!
	Thank you, baby!
	All right, well, we heard him ask doctor, trying to clarify what the crowd was asking for, and it appears that call was answered, and the former president has wandered over there with Secret Service and the former president has wandered over there with Secret Service in tow, Check out what's going on.
	Yeah, you know, a lot of times it needs outdoor events because people have been standing around for a long time.
	It's 75 degrees right now in Asheboro, but it's a sunny day.
	The president just wanted to check to make sure that that person's okay.
	All right, looks like he'll continue now.
	Thank you very much.
	You know, they come two days, three days early, and it's a lot of stress.
	We lose the only ones we...
	This is the Donald Trump I know.
	I don't think people realize this, that when he breaks loose of that kind of scrum of agents who are trying to protect him on the podium, on the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, and he gives that iconic fist in the air and says, fight three times, he doesn't know if they're still an active shooter.
	That is an act of courage.
	He has no idea whether his life is still in danger.
	This, what we just saw, is yet another example.
	This idea that he cares only about himself, that he's running only for himself, That's not the Donald Trump I've known personally for 45 years.
	He is not only a very caring person, but there's a long, long litany of private acts of charity on his part to help people.
	We didn't seek publicity, didn't want anyone to know, but he paid off people's mortgages.
	He sent money for operations.
	He used his plane to fly people to surgeons who could not get to them otherwise, children.
	This is the Trump I know, and that classic example of, I think, bravery and just concern for his fellow man, that's the Trump that I know and love.
	I can't resist the opportunity to talk to you about food because you are an expert.
	And, you know, until recently, relatively recently, I had no idea how badly we were being poisoned by those who sell us food.
	So for years, for example, I thought there was only one mayonnaise.
	That was Hellman's mayonnaise.
	If somebody bought Kraft mayonnaise, I busted their chops.
	Then I stopped to read the label on Hellman's mayonnaise, and I found out all the crap that's in there, all the GMO, all of the non-natural ingredients.
	I'm off Hellman's.
	I did find Sir Kensington, which is an all-natural mayonnaise.
	But how, in this day and age, with all this processed food and all the toxicity and poison that's in it, how can the average person eat healthy?
	Well, it is very challenging.
	Human beings, we are the only species on this planet that deliberately poisons the food we feed our children.
	If you think about it, there's no other species on this planet that does that, but human beings spray toxic pesticides, herbicides, and then also through genetic engineering, some foods such as GM corn are engineered to grow pesticides inside every grain of corn.
	And you can't wash these off by washing the conventional food crops.
	This is why I've been an advocate of home gardening.
	I've been an advocate of this my entire life, but I've been teaching it for over 20 years.
	And it was taught to me by my parents.
	Now, Roger, I'm also, I don't know if you know this, but I've been teaching the Bible scripture lately.
	I've released 24 sermons so far of foods and nutrition from the Bible.
	And the latest one was about black cumin seed, which is mentioned a couple of times in the Bible.
	All kinds of amazing foods and superfoods such as pomegranates and wormwood, which is mentioned in an unusual context.
	But if you ever wonder why did so many people mentioned in the Bible, in the Old Testament in particular, why did they live so long?
	Part of the answer is because they didn't have the poisons of the pesticides and herbicides in the foods, and the things that they were eating at that time were what I call God's natural medicine.
	So God puts medicinal molecules in foods like the pomegranate, like wormwood, like apricot seeds or just everyday fruits and vegetables, but also black cumin seed, all these amazing herbs.
	God puts the molecules in there that are our medicine.
	And guess what, Roger?
	God doesn't charge us for it.
	It's royalty free.
	And you don't need a doctor's prescription to eat natural medicine that's in foods and herbs and sprouts and all these things.
	So what I find to be the great failing of modern human civilization is that people have forgotten what medicine is and what food is.
	And what they eat is a processed, hollow shadow of what food is supposed to be.
	It's lacking in minerals, it's lacking in nutrition, and it's sprayed with things like atrazine, which is a gender bender herbicide.
	Second most common herbicide after glyphosate that's sprayed on the foods.
	And yes, it causes men, especially young men, to have hormonal disorders, causing some of them to think that they're women.
	So when you look at the entire LGBT agenda or sort of the transgender theme that's been happening in our country, it's not all just cultural.
	Some of it is biochemical because of what's in the food supply, Roger.
	Excellent answer. Where can people go to hear these sermons?
	This is something I want to follow up on myself.
	Oh, well, thank you. Yes, it's on brighteon.com, the platform.
	It's just spelled like the word brighteon.com.
	And usually my sermons, my channel will appear somewhere on the homepage.
	It's called HR Report, and you can hear my sermons and my interviews and my podcast there.
	And I'm releasing one sermon each day all the way up until the election.
	So we've got, I don't know, 75 or 80 still to go.
	Should be interesting. Are you watching any of the Democrat National Convention?
	Well, I tried to watch the Women's Caucus sing the national anthem, and they failed to do so, and that was about all I could stand.
	I thought I was watching a clip from the movie Idiocracy, actually.
	At one point, I thought they were going to roll out President Camacho, but actually, you know, it turned out to be the Democrat Convention, so I turned it off.
	Yeah, the hypocrisy is knee-deep.
	Here's a quick clip of Bernie Sanders.
	You've got to see this.
	At the very top of that to-do list is the need to get big money out of our political process.
	Billionaires in both parties should not be able to buy elections, including primary elections.
	Well, if billionaires could buy elections, Mark Bloomberg would be president of the United States right now.
	Bernie doesn't mention that, by the way, he and his wife skimmed millions of dollars in media commissions from his two presidential campaigns.
	That's not illegal.
	Mitt Romney did the same thing.
	But Bernie drives a top-of-the-line Mercedes.
	He's got three homes, and his net worth, according to what he's filed with the U.S. Senate, is around $3 million.
	So socialism for the masses, but not for Bernie.
	Any thoughts? Well, yes.
	And also, it's amazing to see Bernie try to defend the Democrats, the same party that rigged the primaries against him in the 2016 election.
	Because I think if left to the actual Democrat voters, Bernie Sanders would have been the nominee, not Hillary Clinton.
	And we see the same thing today that the Democrats did to RFK Jr.
	I know you want to talk about RFK Jr.
	and his plans, but I think that right now, the main reason why RFK Jr.
	is so frustrated with the Democrat Party is because he now realizes the full extent of how much cheating and rigging they routinely engage in.
	You know, he used to be, I mean, he's been a lifelong Democrat.
	And now he has walked away from the Democrat Party.
	And as you're well aware, there's talk, perhaps rumors, that he may be looking at possibly some kind of position in a Trump administration, which I think would be really wonderful.
	I absolutely welcome that.
	I welcome all former Democrats who want to actually carry out the ideals that the Democrat Party once stood for, which used to be freedom of speech and honesty and fairness and human rights, but they've abandoned all of those things, and they now have RVs with abortions taking place right out in front of the Democrat committee there.
	So, you know, they're ritualizing and celebrating the mass killing of unborn babies as a sacrament to their Satanism as they try to rule this country.
	It's quite sickening.
	Very, very well put.
	Look, I think there was a time because I've been around a while.
	There's a time when both parties believed in capitalism.
	Both parties were patriotic.
	Both parties believed we needed a strong national defense.
	There were Democrats like Henry Scoop Jackson of Washington State, for example.
	John F. Kennedy was an ardent, hard-line anti-communist.
	So was Harry Truman.
	That Democrat Party just no longer exists.
	That party is hijacked by a Marxist clique.
	They no longer stand for working people.
	Watching the head of the United Auto Workers Union attacking Donald Trump, While this administration seeks to ship all of their jobs abroad and relegate them to electric vehicle manufacturing, the hypocrisy of it is extraordinarily shocking.
	Speaking of hypocrisy, take a look at this little bite of Michelle Obama.
	Now, I thought for some time that the Democrats would recognize that Joe was unelectable, Kamala may yet prove to be unelectable based on her inability to speak off the cuff or to answer even the most basic of questions.
	And I really believed that the Democrats would turn to the most popular Democrat in the country.
	That would be Michelle Obama.
	I think that that lag between Biden dropping out Everyone else who matters in the Democrat Party, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, endorsing Kamala.
	That interlude, I think, was a period in which Barack probably gave his final attempt to get Michelle to run.
	Now, I never said she wanted to run.
	I never said she was planning to run.
	What I always said was I believed in the end that That she would be drafted as their most powerful or I would say most viable candidate.
	But let's take a look at her last night.
	She and my father didn't aspire to be wealthy.
	In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.
	Wait a minute. Is this the woman who has a multi-million dollar home on the vineyard?
	Someone whose net worth is now somewhere worth a hundred million dollars?
	Married to a former state senator and US senator who served in the White House?
	Let me remind you, when President Richard Nixon left office, He would not serve on a corporate board.
	He would not take an honorarium for a paid speech.
	He lived solely on the proceeds of the books that he wrote and sold, all of which became bestsellers, most of them on foreign policy.
	The idea of presidents cashing in, no one has cashed in and taken more than the Obamas.
	The level of hypocrisy here really continues to shock me.
	Well, Roger, America already proved in 2008 that the voters are not racist.
	They elected Barack Obama in 2008, hoping for racial unity.
	And what they got from Obama was, of course, deliberate racial aggravation and division.
	And even then, America today is not a deliberately racist nation, except for perhaps some certain fringes that might exist in any party.
	But by and large, America is not a racist nation.
	What America wants today is to be able to afford groceries, to be able to afford to pay rent.
	The American workers, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, you name it, they want to be able to keep more of what they earn.
	And this is why Trump's suggestion of being able to keep the tips that you earn in the service industry without being federally taxed on those tips was such a great idea that Kamala had to steal it, plagiarizing Trump's best ideas.
	So I think Trump should one up Kamala on that and say, Hey, why not just end all federal income taxes at the personal level nationwide?
	Let all the workers keep more of what they earn.
	That would be the most effective and prosperous decision that any candidate could ever announce that would be pro-worker.
	Every union worker Would be on the side of Trump with that.
	They want to keep more of what they earn as well.
	And by the way, Roger, and I know you know this, but just for your audience, there's no connection between what the federal government raises in personal income taxes versus what they spend.
	There's no connection whatsoever.
	So everybody out there, the mainstream media arguing that the government needs revenue to cover its expenses.
	You're lying. The government never has enough revenue to cover its expenses, and it just prints the currency that it spends.
	Irresponsibly, mind you, but we shouldn't be punished because of the government's outrageous expenditures.
	Let the people keep what they earn so that the people can get ahead.
	Trump has started that by saying, keep what you earn on tips, but I say let's take it even further.
	Not only that, but the other great falsehood of the left is that tax cuts are what cause our deficits.
	No, actually, every time we cut taxes, whether it was under John F. Kennedy, whether it was under Ronald Reagan, whether it was under Donald Trump, every time we cut federal taxes, revenues went up, not down.
	We have a spending problem.
	Our problem is a spending problem.
	Larger than that, our problem is a printing money at whim problem.
	When I see... Are sending, you know, 100 plus billion dollars to Ukraine.
	I wonder, which budget does that come out of?
	Where does that money come from?
	And then I realized, they just print it and send it.
	They just print it. Yeah, and you're right.
	Depending on where you are on the Laffer curve, you know, to use standard economics, as you well know, when you cut the tax rates, you can actually increase overall aggregate tax revenues to the federal government.
	But as you also know, right now, Kamala is pushing the unrealized capital gains tax, which would be an absolute disaster for all real estate across America and the stock market.
	Because if you bought a house for, let's say, 500K, which is not even an expensive house in most U.S. cities today, and if then the street value of that house goes up to $1 million, but you still live in it and you haven't sold it, you would have to write a check to the federal government of $125,000 you would have to write a check to the federal government of $125,000 to cover the 25% federal tax on the unrealized Even though you haven't sold the house, you don't have cash flow from selling the house.
	You don't even plan to sell the house.
	But how are you going to come up with $125,000?
	You're going to have to sell the house!
	So this is private property confiscation by the federal government.
	This is part of the communist Kamala plan for America.
	And that's why her candidacy is so extremely dangerous to everyone in this nation.
	That's why we must support Trump and defeat the communists.
	So recently, Mike, you may have seen that the Washington Post, the New York Times, Associated Press, and others have reported that I was the target of an Iranian hack into my email.
	And although I don't want to talk about that much, it also greatly increases my desire to have fully encrypted communications.
	You're among those who turned me on to my Iridium phone, which I'm extraordinarily happy with.
	Would you speak to the great value of these phones for a moment?
	Yeah, absolutely. I'm really glad that you have Satellite Phone Store as a sponsor.
	You know, I always travel with that exact phone.
	And I also travel, I mean, I won't go anywhere without it because today the power grid is less reliable than it's ever been in our lifetimes.
	And the cell towers, there are continued outages.
	We've seen AT&T go down.
	We've seen comms go down from different carriers time and time again.
	And that's even when there aren't hurricanes and storms and floods and so on.
	But I've got actually two different satellite phones from two different satellite companies, Inmarsat and Iridium.
	And they also have what's called a bivy stick, which is a satellite text messaging device that's also a lifesaver.
	And it works even, you can place it in a window.
	You don't have to point it exactly at the sky, so you can use it indoors if you're near a window.
	It works really well, and you can text anybody's cell phone anywhere in the world or receive text because it comes with a U.S. phone number to receive regular SMS text.
	So if you have an emergency like the fires in Hawaii and you want to get the word out to family members or first responders that where we are, maybe we're trapped somewhere, maybe somebody needs rescuing, you can get a text out, you can call for help, you can even press a button on that bivvy stick, which will broadcast your GPS location with your permission to five different email addresses that you set up in advance.
	And that's why outdoor adventurers use it and snowboarders and, you know, wilderness people.
	And also government, you know, trekkers, people who are looking for people who are lost or out in the wilderness.
	So I don't go anywhere without it, Roger.
	And I just want to thank Tina from the Satellite Phone Store.
	She's also been very generous.
	She has donated these.
	I know she's donated recently to a ministry in Florida.
	She's also donated to people that I know who work the border locally.
	Of the state of Texas, because they don't have cell towers out near the border.
	And there are many emergencies they have to deal with, sometimes dying children who have been smuggled across the border, dying from dehydration.
	So how do they call in help?
	They use a bivy stick or they use a satellite phone and they get help and save lives.
	So, you know, it's a great company, Roger.
	Thanks for bringing that up. Yeah, I've really come to rely on mine, and I'm very glad that you were among those who recommended it to me.
	Tina's going to be here on the Stone Zone soon, folks.
	She's got a lot of great stuff to talk about.
	I talked to her this morning.
	She's doing some great, great things, but the Iridium 9555, I always get one five off, phone is really worthwhile, and you will come to rely on it, as clearly both Mike and I do.
	All right, let's go back to politics, because, you know, it's what I love to discuss.
	The speculation about Robert F. Kennedy, I have to admit, is very exciting.
	Our mutual friend Alex Jones was among those to report it first.
	I spoke to him last night.
	He's absolutely certain of his sources.
	The story seems to have taken off now.
	You have some mainstream outlets confirming it, including ABC. Kennedy himself has said nothing.
	His running mate, Nicole Shanahan, who I had some fundamental reservations about because, of course, her great wealth comes from Google when she divorced her husband, who was the founder of Google.
	And Google, of course, is the number one manipulator of information and censorship and In the country, we had Dr.
	Robert Epstein on the show recently, who has done an amazing job of documenting that.
	But if this happens, Mike, what do you think the effect would be?
	Well, I think it's an extraordinary match, and it would make the Trump ticket absolutely unbeatable.
	Even the Democrats couldn't cheat their way beyond this.
	Now, here's why I think this is so amazing.
	As you know, Roger, I am not somebody who just blindly worships Trump or anyone.
	I take a rational approach.
	What are Trump's policies?
	Where are his strengths? And he has a great many.
	One of the areas where I have in the past been critical on Trump is perhaps his lack of experience in the area of big pharma and the medical establishment.
	And that's what RFK Jr.
	knows like the back of his hand.
	I think RFK Jr. could come into a position such as the head of HHS or NIH, and he could really clean house.
	And I know that Trump is on board with this concept because a few weeks ago he put out a video saying we need a commission to investigate the root causes of chronic degenerative disease in this country so that we don't spend a fortune treating symptoms of diseases that could be prevented for pennies on the dollar.
	Well, RFK Jr. knows that.
	He's an expert in that.
	I've known him for a couple of decades as the leader in preventing chemical contamination, mercury contamination of children, for example, pesticide and herbicide contamination.
	And RFK Jr., again, despite the fact that I would disagree with his position on energy and coal, RFK Jr.
	is a very compassionate, pro-human, pro-liberty American.
	A classic Democrat from, you know, the days of his uncle.
	And so I absolutely welcome RFK Jr.
	in any role that he wishes to serve in the Trump administration.
	I think it makes Trump stronger and America stronger.
	And I think it'll bring quite a lot of voters with him.
	And it will guarantee, as much as we can guarantee, an electoral victory for Donald J. Trump, which is exactly what this country needs.
	I admit to you, when I first heard this news, I was pretty skeptical.
	Perhaps this was a head fake to garner publicity.
	It would be a pretty smart one if it were.
	But I agree with your assessment.
	I also think RFK has a very healthy distrust Of the deep state, as well he should, because he knows who killed his uncle, John F. Kennedy, and he knows who killed his father, Robert F. Kennedy, Sr., who was a U.S. senator from New York.
	Now, he did write recently that...
	His father was leading for the Democrat nomination in 1968.
	Take exception to that.
	He did win a big victory in the California primary.
	But Richard Daley, then the mayor of Chicago, who ran a very orderly city, unlike what you see today, would have stuck with Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey.
	I don't think in the end that Robert Kennedy would have been nominated.
	But, of course, those who believe so deeply in Camelot, it's kind of an ingrained myth.
	But his father was a great man.
	He was a strong anti-communist.
	Interestingly enough, Robert Kennedy denies in a series of oral histories that I've listened to that JFK was going to withdraw us from Vietnam, the central theme of Oliver Stone's movie JFK. But I do think both the Kennedy brothers, in retrospect, and this is coming from a Nixon man, they were strong believers in American politics.
	Exceptionalism, strong believers into strong military, ardent anti-communists, and both patriots.
	It was back in the days when both parties believed in capitalism and free enterprise.
	This could be the beginning of a political realignment, a major realignment, where millions of former Democrats and independents joined the America First movement.
	Look, I've known Donald Trump for 45 years.
	Is he perfect? No.
	Far from it. In fact, none of us is perfect.
	Only he is perfect.
	But given the stakes and given the education he's had by being the target of the Russian collusion hoax, of two fake impeachments, and now an attempted assassination, I think he has a complete understanding of Washington and how it works and how implacable the two-party ruling elite That really have run this country until he came along.
	How incredibly evil they are.
	Here's an interesting clip from last night's convention that I want to play.
	This is Barack Obama speaking about whether our government's corrupt or not.
	Now, it won't be easy.
	The other side knows.
	It's easier to play on people's fears and cynicism.
	Always has been. They will tell you that government is inherently corrupt, that sacrifice and generosity are for suckers.
	And since the game is rigged, it's okay to take what you want and just look after your own.
	That's the easy path.
	We have a different task.
	Our job is to convince people that democracy can actually deliver.
	Absolutely. I'm wild-eyed astonished to hear Obama talking about Democrats delivering democracy when all they do is cheat and rig even their own primaries and nomination process.
	Yeah, it's really extraordinary.
	The party that wanted to keep Trump off the ballot.
	I can't think of anything more anti-democratic than keeping your opponent off the ballot in all 50 states.
	The party that wants to censor free speech on the internet, and frankly, everywhere.
	What could be more anti-democratic than that?
	That authorized the illegal surveillance of at least 278,000 Americans without warrants in just the last two years.
	What could be more anti-democratic than that?
	The hypocrisy here is really knee-deep.
	As someone who was criminally charged in the Russian collusion hoax but never did anything wrong, even Robert Mueller admitted in his final unredacted report, which BuzzFeed, of all people, had to go to federal court to get released, found no evidence of Russian collusion or WikiLeaks collaboration or any other crime on my part.
	Yet Barack Obama tells me the government is not corrupt.
	Ask General Flynn how corrupt the government is.
	That is that statement is outrageous when you consider that.
	Absolutely. It's like when they tell us Obama's eight years were corruption free.
	Really? Did they never hear of Fast and Furious, for example?
	Oh, that's when Boulder got a congressional subpoena, which he thumbed his nose as.
	But unlike Steve Bannon, he wasn't sent to prison.
	Well, yeah, Operation Fast and Furious was designed to destroy the Second Amendment by allowing firearms into the hands of Mexican drug cartels that would then cross back into the U.S. border and be involved in crimes, violence and murder against American citizens.
	And then, you know, the Obama administration with Eric Holder, they were going to blow the whistle on that.
	See, look, look at all the gun violence.
	We have to ban guns.
	And they've been trying to ban guns ever since in one way or another.
	Thank God that Trump put in some Supreme Court justices that have just barely held the line on the Second Amendment in many key decisions.
	The Fifth Circuit Court has held its line on a key decision, and I believe recently the Eighth Circuit made a key decision against the ATF's overreach on arm braces.
	But the bottom line is the presidency, this election, matters for far more than just Trump.
	Or anybody serving with him, and we hope very qualified people who are pro-America will serve with him.
	But this matters because of the Supreme Court and how Barack Obama standing there claiming to defend democracy, but his party wants to stack the Supreme Court by adding another nine justices or some number to rig it all in their favor.
	In other words, they want to destroy what the Supreme Court is today, just as they destroy everything that they can't control.
	And if they can't control America, Roger, if they lose this election, I believe they will spend the however many days it is to the inauguration of Trump.
	What is it, 75 days or something like that into January?
	I believe that the Democrats will spend those days trying to destroy this nation.
	They will try to burn it down.
	And we and the governors of the red states and all Americans who care about this nation, we must stand firm and we must work to hold our ground and deescalate the violence that's instigated by the left.
	And we must restore actual democracy, which is the will of the voters.
	But, of course, in this case, it's a constitutional republic.
	But if we can get Trump across the finish line here, that's just the beginning of the battle to defend this nation against those who seek to destroy it.
	I could not agree with you more, Mike.
	Look, I'm a grizzled veteran of 13 national presidential campaigns.
	I got a full briefing yesterday on the ground game, the targeted efforts to get out evangelical Christians, to reach black voters, Hispanic voters.
	I must tell you, I was very, very impressed.
	There's a lot going on that the American people don't see.
	There's a lot going on that even President Trump's This is one of the best technologically managed campaigns in American history, and that will ultimately be proven.
	The other thing I'd like to say is that J.D. Vance, I think he is very, very underrated.
	I think he's unfairly criticized.
	This is snobbery.
	It's elitism.
	They attack him because he came from nothing.
	They attack him.
	He's earned everything he has.
	He had a distinguished academic career.
	He had a very successful business career.
	He served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps.
	The attacks are unwarranted.
	And in this campaign, just as Richard Nixon at the same age stepped up to the moment is Dwight Eisenhower's running mate.
	J.D. Vance's moment is going to come.
	He's going to prove to be exactly the right choice.
	He's not a neocon.
	He's not a puppet of the war machine.
	He's a true America first patriot.
	He's going to turn out to be exactly the right guy, in my opinion.
	All right. I want to thank my guest, Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	You can go to his store, thehealthrangerstore.com, to get any of his great products.
	You can also, there it is, put it up on the screen for you.
	Also, as you can see, check him out at brighteon.com, brighteon.com, where he's doing his sermon and great shows.
	It's been a great honor for me to appear with him there.
	Hope to do it again soon.
	Mike, thank you and God bless you for joining us today.
	Thank you, Roger. God bless you as well.
	Have a great day. Thank you.
	All right, folks. Mike Adams, a true patriot.
	And also, by the way, one of the smartest guys I know.
	Just incredibly smart about not only health, nutrition, finance, the Constitution, the Second Amendment.
	Just a great honor to have him.
	What we see going on today at the Democrat convention is going to be one of the great psyops of all time.
	They're trying to create this impression that Kamala Harris has nothing to do with the failures of the last three years.
	She's pledging to hire hundreds of more southern border patrol agents to crack down and secure our southern border.
	Does she really think that nobody knows that she's been in charge of the border for the last three years.
	Now the media, particularly ABC and NBC, try to say, oh no, she was never the border czar.
	Well, the title czar or the name czar, while that may have been adopted by the media, there is no question that Joe Biden, in a full-blown press event, announced that she would be in charge of dealing with the problem on our southern border.
	I don't know.
	Whether Joe Biden's leaving immediately after his speech, not even attending the rest of the convention for the nomination of Kamala Harris and her wacky running mate, Tim Walz, whether that is peak on his part because he,
	according to my sources, is still extremely angry about being dumped like a dog by being forced out of this race by a cabal headed by Barack Obama, but Also encompassing Chuck Schumer, his close friend Nancy Pelosi, who now seems to be bragging about her role in forcing Joe out, Hakeem Jeffries and others.
	This is part of this effort.
	To completely erase her involvement in the worst presidency, the worst administration in American history.
	They want you to forget that she favored defunding the police.
	They want you to forget that Kamala Harris was in favor of decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
	They want you to forget that, well, she's proposed that U.S. taxpayers We're good to go.
	And now the new Kamala advocating wage and price controls.
	They didn't work for Richard Nixon.
	Probably his greatest, maybe his second greatest mistake, his greatest single mistake, taking us off the gold standard.
	But they were a disaster then.
	They'd be a disaster now.
	Her new capital gains tax, as Mike Adams said, this concept's unbelievable because, as he pointed out, if you bought a home and the home appreciated, you'd pay taxes on that appreciation even if you didn't sell the home.
	This is crazy.
	And then she just said, you know, she would have the power to just seize your patents.
	In essence, seize any company's assets if she felt like it.
	That's Marxism is what that is.
	In the meantime, they're counting on a very short memory of the American people.
	They also seem to think that they can hide her between now and the election.
	Now, I said on X yesterday, it's a misnomer to think that this election is, I guess, 76 days away because it's actually much sooner.
	Early voting starts in September, September 16th in Pennsylvania, a pivotal state in this election, a state where folks like Scott Pressler is going to join us, I believe, tomorrow here on the Stone Zone.
	My good friend Cliff Maloney are doing an incredible job of voter registration, where we are gaining every week in new registrations.
	I think Pennsylvania is going to be a pleasant surprise on election night.
	Much to the credit of those two gentlemen and others, Charlie Kirk's also in there doing a great job, but it is amazing that they just think that the people won't remember that it was Donald Trump who wanted to do away with the tax on tips, which makes perfect sense because, of course, under the tax code, there is no tax on gifts.
	A tip is It does not pay the salary of the wait person, doesn't pay for the food they deliver to your table.
	It's a gratuity, a gift, in return perhaps for good service, but not directly.
	You're not required to tip.
	So why shouldn't tips be taxless?
	They, of course, should. But Kamala Harris thinks that we'll forget that it was Donald Trump who came up with that incredible idea.
	Really quite extraordinary.
	I don't think the American people will be fooled.
	I'm not ready to say yet whether the RFK news is real.
	I have no first-hand knowledge.
	But as I said earlier today on the Alex Jones Show, if it is true...
	It negates any bump that the Democrats will get out of this week's convention, and it could indeed be the beginning of a realignment.
	There was a great video put out by the Dili Mean team two days ago.
	I'm going to play it for you at the end of the show here in just a minute.
	But I want to thank all of you for helping us here at the Stone Zone.
	We have been gaining.
	You can see us at worldviewtube.com, 4 o'clock Central, 5 o'clock Eastern, every single weekday.
	But if you don't catch us there, you can catch us at...
	Rumble, that's rumble.com slash Roger Stone.
	We're there at 8 p.m.

	But we really appreciate your going to the Rumble app, download it to your phone, and please set the notifications so you don't miss the Stone Zone.
	Alright, to close the show, I'm going to roll this clip after I close here.
	A great clip from the Dilly Mean Team, particularly from my friend at Rambo Rants.
	I'm Roger Stone. This has been the Stone Zone.
	Let's roll that video. Let's roll that

	Welcome to today's sermon.
	I'm Mike Adams, and today we're going to cover the Gospel according to Mark.
	I'm reading from the New King James Version, and how can we resist?
	An author of a book who says he showed up eating locusts and honey...
	Right? Remember back in Leviticus, I believe, when God said it's okay to eat grasshoppers and certain kinds of bugs?
	Well, Mark took that to heart, and he was chowing down on locusts and honey.
	Now, this is interesting, obviously, since our focus is covering foods and herbs in the Bible.
	But also, people ate locusts because that was a food source that was readily available.
	and the wild honey might make them more palatable.
	In any case, this is going to be interesting.
	I want to step back because we need to cover some philosophical concepts first before we get into this.
	And I also think this is going to take at least two sermons to cover in its entirety.
	But let's back up in time.
	Well, first, so Mark the Evangelist here.
	He was believed to have lived in the year, what, A.D. 42?
	Somewhere around that time.
	So this is, of course, many centuries, many centuries after, for example, Exodus in the Old Testament.
	But if you go back to Exodus, I want to ask you a question about Moses.
	Now, God spoke to Moses.
	We all agree on that.
	I ask you an interesting question that will apply to Mark here.
	In what language did God speak to Moses?
	So it's easy to assume, those of us in the modern Western world who most of us speak English, it's easy to assume that, well, God must have spoken English.
	But of course, that's silly.
	English didn't exist in Moses' day, right?
	Yeah. So he was speaking to Moses in the languages that Moses knew.
	And given that Moses was raised as a prince in Egypt, right?
	Remember that? He would have spoken probably Egyptian, but then again, Moses also reportedly knew Hebrew and probably quite a bit of some other languages too, even potentially Akkadian languages.
	Okay. We don't know for sure, but whatever it was, God spoke to Moses in the language that he knew.
	So let's just say it's Egyptian.
	And there's something important to recognize in this, which is that God speaks to people all over the world and all throughout time.
	And angels speak to people as well.
	And as you know, I've shared stories with you of two times in my life that angels spoke to me.
	One time, very audibly verbal, that was the Archangel Michael, and I heard it.
	I heard it as if I was hearing it in my ears, and the voice was speaking in perfect English.
	But suppose if I had been a Mexican person or a Spaniard?
	Well, then... Wouldn't the archangel have spoken to me in my native tongue?
	Or you go back in time and maybe Christians in ancient Rome.
	And there were, obviously, there were quite a few Christians in ancient Rome.
	Wouldn't God have spoken to them in their tongue of the day?
	Wouldn't those angels or wouldn't God have spoken to ancient Romans in maybe Greek or Latin?
	And you get the idea.
	And is it possible that God spoke to people who are Chinese?
	Yeah? I mean, we know he spoke to people all over many different regions throughout the Middle East and throughout Europe.
	And why wouldn't he also have spoken?
	I mean, and also Central and South America and so on.
	He would have spoken to people in their own languages, right?
	Yeah. So let's agree on something very simple here up front, that when God speaks to a human being through just the divine power of God to put voices or thoughts into your head, that he does so in your native language, and therefore God knows and speaks all languages and all forms of communication.
	Can we agree on that as a default?
	Yes. Now, here's another question along those lines.
	There have also been, especially in the Catholic Church, there have been many, many cases of miracles of apparitions or images that have appeared.
	And sometimes these images appear as sort of fully animated, you know, 3D images.
	A person would say, well, I saw, you know, I saw the Virgin Mary.
	There she was.
	Or they would see an angel, or they would see perhaps a personification of God.
	Or some people have been visited by what they say is the body of Christ, or the image of Christ, let's say.
	Now, in all of these different cases, the images of God also appear in ways that are familiar to the person.
	So just as God can speak to people in a language that is familiar to them, because it wouldn't make any sense for God to show up to you and speak Russian if you don't speak Russian, right?
	So it's like God speaks to Russian Christians in Russian, right?
	But God also presents himself as visions that are familiar to people, right?
	So if your expectation of what Christ looks like or what God looks like, if it is a certain type of person, a certain ethnicity of a person or a certain size, then it seems that that's what God would use to speak to you.
	When God appears to you, he appears to you in a form that is familiar.
	This makes sense, right?
	We're not saying anything radical or crazy or anti-Christian or anything like that.
	We're just saying God speaks to people in familiar ways, whether through voice or through imagery.
	Or through knowing. It's another way.
	And this concept is fundamentally recognized as true across Catholic religions, across Judaism, across various forms of Christianity.
	Now, there's a tangential definition.
	Side chapter to all of this, which is something that I experienced as a child when I was taken to a church with a family member at this church.
	And I don't recall what kind of church it was.
	I don't know if it was an Assembly of God church or a Baptist church.
	I don't recall.
	I was quite young.
	But I do recall that this church, the congregation, became very emotional.
	The preacher was really going at it, and there was this powerful emotional vibe in the room, this spiritual vibe.
	You could actually feel the presence of the Spirit in the room.
	This was a small country church in the Midwest.
	And wouldn't you know it, somebody...
	Right next to me, or very close to me, in the pews, started speaking in tongues.
	And I had no idea what that was.
	What's going on? My heart was racing.
	I was a little bit freaked out.
	I did not know what this is.
	And thinking back about it, it sounded to me like a kind of maybe a Native American language.
	And sure enough, I found out later that person had very strong Native American ancestry.
	And then I learned later that it's actually common in some of the churches that one person will, quote, speak in tongues, and then another person will translate that word into English for the rest of the congregation.
	Now, I probably would not have believed this, especially in my younger years, if I had not experienced it myself.
	But I did. And I'm just curious, for those of you listening, have you ever experienced that?
	Or if you haven't, do you believe what that is?
	Do you believe it's true? See, to me, it's very simple.
	It's just God speaking to people in different languages, which we know he's capable of doing.
	And why would a churchgoer try to even fake that?
	And how would you? I mean, if you were trying to speak a fake language, there would be a lot of effort in that to make it sound sensical.
	And I'm kind of curious.
	I wonder if there are any recordings of people speaking in tongues during church services.
	I imagine there must be. And I'm very curious if any of those recordings have been analyzed.
	Maybe some of you know that they have.
	But in any case, we know that God speaks to people in different languages and he appears to people in different forms.
	And this is not weird.
	This is actually part of the supernatural gift of being God.
	You can speak or appear.
	You can project sounds or visions or imagery and I mean, if you're God, you could even throw space rocks at the city of Gomorrah if you wish to.
	You can unleash a giant flood on the earth.
	So speaking in different languages is not a difficult thing.
	This is like a minor, minor, little teeny tiny skill of being God.
	I mean, he created everything in the universe.
	Of course he can speak every language there is.
	So with that stated, let's get into the book of Mark.
	I want you to keep all that in mind.
	Now, remember that Mark...
	Mark the Evangelist, as he's often known, he was documenting much of the life of Christ and the recognition of Christ being the Son of God, which we will get to.
	So we're going to go through this in some detail in chapter 1, verse 4.
	John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
	So this is John the Baptist saying, you know, if you repent before God, then you can be forgiven for your sins, right?
	Then all the land of Judea and those from Jerusalem went out to him, and they were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, a river that is quite...
	Noticeable today, or quite famous today because of the conflict in the Middle East, and of course the saying, from the river to the sea, which refers to, at least my understanding is that refers to the Jordan River.
	So, you know, here it is in biblical times, still the same river.
	Anyway, comma, confessing their sins.
	Okay, now, John, this is verse 6, John was clothed with camel's hair, That sounds itchy.
	And with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
	So this is a scrappy dude, right?
	This is an outdoor survival adventure guy.
	Maybe you've never heard John describe that way, but he's wearing camel's hair and he's eating locusts and honey.
	This is like, you know...
	The ancient biblical version of Daniel Vitalis or someone like that who knows how to eat wild foods, right?
	Interesting guy.
	And John says, quote, Right?
	Like, there's someone coming that's super powerful.
	Super awesome person is coming.
	I indeed baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
	It's like setting the tone for the arrival of Jesus, right?
	This is starting to get chills on this.
	Verse 9, it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River, right?
	And immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove.
	Then a voice came from heaven.
	You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
	So, question.
	What language was this voice speaking?
	Trick question, huh?
	Right? I don't know the answer to that, but it wasn't English.
	Right? It might have been ancient Hebrew.
	That would make a lot of sense, but maybe there are better answers.
	Maybe there are some biblical archaeological academics who can give a better answer, and I'm open to that.
	But anyway, whatever it was, it wasn't English.
	So God spoke to the people in the language they recognized, and in this moment...
	It seems as if God infused the body of Jesus Christ with God's Spirit.
	Now, this is an interesting question to me because I thought that at the moment of Immaculate Conception, That the unborn body of Christ was infused with the Spirit of God, and maybe that's the case.
	Maybe at this moment God is just saying that you have done well so far to this point, and now we are granting you additional spiritual upgrades of some kind.
	But we'll get to that more in this chapter.
	And then Jesus was tested.
	So verse 12,"...immediately the Spirit drove him into the wilderness." And he was there in the wilderness for 40 days, probably eating locusts and honey would be my guess, tempted by Satan and was with the wild beasts and the angels ministered to him.
	So this is a massive download from the angels.
	So yes, he's tempted in the wilderness.
	He's surrounded by satanic forces.
	They're testing him, but they're also mentoring him.
	They're making sure that he is worthy to carry out his acts on earth as the Son of God.
	Now, The book of Mark here skips forward a lot.
	It's clear that we're missing a lot of details that I wish we had.
	But we have to do the best we can with what is there.
	Verse 14 skips ahead quite a bit.
	It says, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, quote, Now, this message was easily acceptable to many people of faith in that time.
	He hasn't said anything crazy radical yet, but it's coming.
	And then Jesus begins to recruit other disciples or soon-to-be teachers or ministers of the faith.
	Verse 16, and as he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
	Jesus said to them, follow me and I will make you become fishers of men.
	Right?
	I mean, fishing as a metaphor, instead of harvesting fish from the ocean, let's harvest and nurture the spiritual bounty of men.
	And then verse 18, And so Jesus begins to gather a following of much more than two people, probably hundreds if not thousands of people over time, which of course eventually gets the attention of the enemy forces who oppose Jesus.
	And next we're going to see Jesus perform an exorcism to remove demonic spirits from a man.
	This is getting really cool.
	So verse 21 says, And by the way, pardon my pronunciation of some of these cities and towns.
	Sometimes I may not be familiar with how it's usually pronounced in American English today.
	Other times I disagree with the pronunciations, and I will pronounce it the way I prefer, such as the city of Ephesus.
	So I think that makes more sense than Ephesus just because of the, well, the Latin influence on the names.
	But anyway, that's just my opinion.
	So just forgive me if I pronounce something in a way that you're not familiar with.
	Verse 21, then they went into the Capernaum and immediately on the Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and taught.
	And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
	So my interpretation of this is that Jesus began to teach as if he has the authority of the Lord expressed through him.
	And this was astonishing to the people of the time because no one else at the time would, I mean, no serious person would claim to have the authority of God speaking through them.
	Who would dare make such a bold claim?
	Verse 23, Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, saying, Let us alone.
	What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth?
	Did you come to destroy us?
	I know who you are, the Holy One of God.
	That seems like an odd thing to say.
	Like, if you're saying he's the Holy One of God, then why would you think that he came to destroy you?
	Unless you were infested with the spirit of Satan, right?
	Because, of course, this is exactly what has happened.
	God has projected his spirit into the human form of Jesus Christ in order to be, well, a number of things, teacher, but also, in essence, a spiritual warrior to defeat Satan.
	So this person speaking out here is actually recognizing the truth of what this is.
	This is spiritual warfare back, like, 2,000 years ago.
	Verse 25, but Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be quiet and come out of him.
	He's talking to the demon spirit.
	You know, demon be gone, right?
	And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him, we're talking about like the exorcist movies, the heads spinning around, like climbing on the ceiling.
	Anyway, when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.
	Yes, the demon left the man.
	Well, what choice did the demon have?
	I mean, it's in the presence of Christ.
	I mean, today, exorcists in the Catholic Church, they invoke the name of Jesus Christ to say, like, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, I command you, you know, leave this body of this man.
	And then they would use, like, the holy water and they'd use, like, a cross, the symbols of the Holy Spirit.
	And that's all very powerful, but...
	If Christ is doing it himself, it's like the ultimate exorcism power, right?
	It's like, I'm Christ.
	Be gone, demon.
	And it's done, right? So that's why I love reading scripture.
	It's so exciting, actually.
	It's very amazing. Verse 27, then they were all amazed.
	Of course they were. So they questioned among themselves, saying, what is this?
	What new doctrine is this?
	For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
	See what's happening?
	The people are like, whoa, this Jesus guy...
	He just tells the demons to leave, and they do.
	They leave. They have no choice because, well, you know, this Jesus guy that's new to us right now today, this Jesus guy, apparently, he's got the power of God through him, which is exactly the case, right?
	So, verse 28, and immediately his fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
	You know, you can imagine people telling each other, you know, hey, you know the crazy neighbor who's got demons?
	Yeah, send them over to Jesus of Nazareth.
	He'll fix that right up in no time.
	They get the demons out.
	So, you know, people were talking about this.
	Remember, they didn't have iPhones.
	They didn't have Netflix.
	They were talking about the miracles of Jesus, not even knowing how You know, how cosmically amazing this was and that this would echo throughout all of time for human civilization.
	You know, can you imagine them sitting there next to Jesus and not even realizing what history was unfolding in front of them?
	Can you imagine? They thought, oh, this is just another guy with sandals.
	Nope, not exactly.
	Verse 29, now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
	So here we go.
	This is where Jesus heals people.
	So not only can he tell the demons to get out, he can perform miracles of healing.
	Verse 30, but Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and they told him about her at once.
	So he, Jesus, came and took her by the hand and lifted her up.
	And immediately the fever left her, and she served them.
	So this is Jesus saying, be healed!
	Be well!
	And he touched her.
	He took her by the hand.
	This is a kind of laying on hands of healing the Spirit of God working through Jesus Christ, the personification of God, Healing or that is, let's say, instantly altering the physiological state of another person to eliminate sickness and create instant, spontaneous healing.
	Now, I have something to say about this, and I want you to consider this.
	God gave all of us the gift of self-healing.
	But self-healing does take time.
	And you've experienced this, no doubt.
	You've overcome, you know, sickness and colds and flu or injuries and you've healed and what have you.
	We've all been there.
	Otherwise, we'd be dead by now because, you know, we live in a world of toxins or accidents or biological weapons unleashed on us, right?
	So we've all experienced healing.
	And did you know that the healing that you are born with is a gift from God?
	It is.
	Your body is designed to achieve its own healing, and we could call it spontaneous, but it does take time.
	There is kind of a cause and effect progression of healing that's required for your body to mend torn tendons, for example, or ligaments, or to repair torn skin, or to rebuild blood vessels.
	I experienced this myself over a year ago.
	I nearly cut off my index finger.
	It was a severe laceration.
	I've told this story in my other podcast.
	And it cut tendons and nerves and did not break the bone, however.
	And so I got to experience the healing over time as the body regrew the blood vessels, regrew the nerves.
	I even regained a very sensitive sense of touch in my fingertip.
	It became more sensitive than it had been before.
	And regrew or healed the ligaments, regrew the skin to the point where today, because I did not have any stitches, I chose not to, there's no scar whatsoever.
	And I have near full recovery.
	Not 100% mobility.
	There's some internal scarring.
	But my finger essentially grew back what it needed.
	And I gave thanks to God while watching this.
	It was a process that took several months.
	Ligaments don't grow back instantly.
	So when Jesus takes the hand of this woman, and it says, and immediately the fever left her, I submit to you that Jesus didn't necessarily, quote, heal her in the active way.
	All he had to do was activate the healing that she already has in her body, which is a gift from God.
	He just made it happen in the now.
	In other words, Jesus simply invoked God's healing gift that already exists in each of our bodies.
	Now, this is a very important way to think about healing and healing with prayer and healing with the presence of the Lord or healing with the touch of someone who is living and acting in faith.
	It's not that they heal you.
	It's that you heal yourself with God's gifts that are simply accelerated or activated in the presence of someone who is, in this case, the personification of God.
	You could say Jesus performed miracles.
	And of course, you know, he raises a person from the dead.
	But these miracles actually exist already in each and every one of us because we are reflections of God and God's miracles.
	And you've heard me talk about so-called senescent cells.
	There are zombie cells in your body that are not quite dead, but not really alive.
	And they can be resurrected, reactivated under the proper circumstances to where they are healthy again.
	It's a kind of cellular resurrection.
	And so, yes, Jesus resurrected a man, brought him back from the dead.
	But God gave you the power within your cells to also achieve a cellular resurrection when you are free from toxins and when you have the right nutrition to.
	the right circulation, the right level of nutrients that your cells need to reawaken.
	And there's another really important verse that we've covered in a previous sermon about this.
	And that's Ephesians 5, verse 14.
	A little tiny poem there.
	Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
	And I've related that to light healing and how infrared rays from the sun in the sky, which you could say could also be a metaphor for the Son of God, S-O-N and S-U-N both, The light of the sun shines on you.
	It penetrates your body with ultraviolet rays, which go up to six inches inside your tissues, just as, quote, Christ will shine on you spiritually.
	See, this all happens at multiple levels.
	And then the cells in your body are activated, and some of them, if they were senescent cells, they can be resurrected.
	And that's the first line of this.
	Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead.
	Guess what? Your body is capable of doing that.
	So part of the understanding of the miracles of healing that I believe Christ wants to teach us through demonstrations, I think the message he's trying to get across to us is that you too have been blessed by God with this miracle.
	That he, Christ, is simply showing you a faster version of something that you're capable of as well.
	And I don't mean to say by that that you can rise from the dead if your whole body dies, you know, if your heart stops beating for 24 hours.
	I'm not saying that you can just click your fingers and arise from the dead.
	I'm not saying that at all.
	But, I mean, Jesus can do that because he is the direct empowerment of God.
	But for the rest of us, We have smaller versions of that same miracle at the cellular level or the tissue level.
	And that's key to recognize.
	As God moves through us, God's miracles are also performed within us.
	So, of course, word began to spread throughout the town.
	Verse 32, At evening when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.
	Because everybody knows where those people are.
	Just go to the back alley behind the cafe.
	Get the demon-possessed people.
	Bring them out. We've got Jesus now.
	Come on, bring him out. We can solve this problem.
	Verse 33,"...and the whole city was gathered together at the door.
	Then he healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons.
	And he did not allow the demons to speak because they knew him." You see, the demons knew that he was God, expressed or personified in Jesus.
	The demons recognized him, in other words.
	And they were so scared that they fled.
	They could not disobey his command.
	This is really critical to understand.
	When you command demons in the name of Jesus Christ...
	Being a person who lives in alignment with Jesus Christ, that is someone who studies Scripture, someone who acts in a way that is morally equivalent to the teachings of Christ and the teachings of Paul and so on, someone who is acting in faith, someone who does not deceive, who does not carry out thievery or wickedness against others, then you have greater spiritual power because you have this sort of bandwidth with God.
	And this is why exorcists in the modern day, they're more effective when they are people who are in greater alignment with God.
	But if there were to be an attempted exorcism by somebody who was wicked and themselves deceptive or demonic, the demons would say, we're not afraid of you.
	You're one of us. We don't have to do what you command.
	Interesting, right? Because evil recognizes evil.
	But evil also recognizes the light of God, and evil cannot resist the commands of the light of God, or the commands of Jesus in this case.
	So, he did not allow the demons to speak, because Christ knows there's power in the Word.
	So the demons were not allowed to carry out their spells and their sorcery.
	So he silenced them.
	He may have even said it, silence, demons, and leave.
	And then, of course, he healed the people who were sick, but again, through the mechanism that I just mentioned, I think he activated the healing miracles that already exist in each and every one of us.
	That's my interpretation.
	All right, verse 35.
	Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, he went out and departed to a solitary place, and there he prayed.
	And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, Like, where's Jesus?
	Has anybody seen Jesus?
	When they found him, they said to him, everyone is looking for you.
	Yeah, because more people need to be healed and there are more demons that showed up and we got to get rid of them.
	Verse 38, but he said to them, let us go into the next town so I may preach there also because for this purpose I have come forth.
	He's saying, hey, I'm not here just to...
	Just to heal all your sick people, I'm here to evangelize the Word of God throughout multiple towns and cities and to reach a large number of people.
	Verse 39, And he was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee and casting out demons.
	You know, the demon ratio of the population definitely dropped.
	And then Jesus healed the leper and told the leper, To not tell everybody about it.
	But of course the leper went out and said to everybody, hey, Jesus can heal you.
	And so then, of course, you can imagine what's starting to happen.
	So everybody's telling everybody else that this new guy in town, Jesus, he can solve all your problems.
	He can cast out the demons and heal your leprosy and make you well and eliminate your sickness.
	And, you know, pretty soon everybody wants Jesus to heal them.
	And this is becoming a very interesting story about morality, right?
	So chapter 2 in Mark, skipping ahead a little bit, immediately many gathered together so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door.
	So a crowd was spilling out of the building into the streets, and he preached the word to them.
	He was trying to preach the word of God.
	Then they came to him bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men.
	And when they could not come near him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof.
	They're like, we're going to go through the roof, you know?
	So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
	Can you imagine? Like, they're coming in the windows, Jesus.
	They're coming through the roof.
	They're coming down the chimney. Oh, call him Santa Claus.
	It's like suddenly Jesus is being besieged by all these people.
	And so, Jesus, he was impressed by the commitment that people have, like, well, if you're coming down through the roof, you obviously are very committed to this action of helping this man heal.
	So, verse 5, he said to the paralytic,"'Son, your sins are forgiven you.'" And then this got the attention of the people sitting around the scribes, says in verse 6, and some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, why does this man speak blasphemies like this?
	Who can forgive sins but God alone?
	So they're saying, basically, who do you think you are?
	You're not God.
	How can you forgive people of their sins?
	So you see, Jesus is starting to step on the toes of Of the other priests who claim to be representing the Word of God.
	And this, of course, feeds into the reason why the, well, the church establishment and the government establishment ultimately killed Jesus Christ, because he was showing people that they can have miracles and power directly from God.
	Basically, Jesus was teaching decentralization of spiritual salvation and forgiveness, while the government and the church establishment wants to monopolize that process.
	And they want to say, no, you can't speak to God except through us, the high priests.
	And, you know, you have to give us more money so we can have more riches, and you have to bow down to Rome or the government.
	And you have to do what we say because we command God, we, In fact, God had to get a permit from us, the government.
	You know, this kind of thinking.
	Governments always want you to have permits for everything.
	How dare you do something on your own without a permit?
	Oh, you planted blueberries without a permit?
	You know, there's going to be a fine.
	They'll send like a government squad to pull up your blueberries, that kind of thing.
	And Jesus is saying, you don't need government permission.
	You can have a relationship with God through me.
	And he said his job was to go around all the towns and preach the Word of God and bless people with the power of God and teach people how to have that relationship themselves.
	And he even says this.
	So I call this the spiritual decentralization.
	Again, this is Mark 2.10.
	But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins.
	He said to the paralytic, I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.
	And immediately he arose, he took up the bed, he went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, we never saw anything like this.
	But you see what Jesus is saying.
	Again, verse 10, but that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins.
	He's saying that I, Jesus Christ, I have been given the authority from God to forgive your sins, which of course he did later for all of humankind.
	So this was just sort of the warm-up round of Christ showing, sort of demonstrating that he has the authority and the power of God.
	And then it talks about in verse 13, he went out again by the sea, and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
	And so then if we fast forward to chapter 3, then we see the trap that was set for Jesus, the trap by the church and government establishment to try to catch Jesus performing miracles on the Sabbath.
	And then they would accuse him of crimes against God.
	Because now, of course, Jesus was gaining a following.
	He was gaining notoriety.
	And this was a threat to the establishment.
	Just as today, by the way, anybody who truly teaches the word of Christ may be considered a threat to the government-obedient church establishment that bows down to the IRS instead of bowing down to God.
	And that's a whole discussion right there that maybe we'll get into in another sermon.
	But here we are in chapter 3.
	And he entered the synagogue again, Jesus did, and a man was there who had a withered hand.
	So they watched him closely.
	I'm talking about the Pharisees here.
	So they watched him closely whether he would heal him on the Sabbath so that they might accuse him.
	You know, this was entrapment.
	And he said to the man who had the withered hand, Step forward.
	And he said to them, Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?
	So this is Jesus asking the Pharisees, Is it okay to perform acts of goodness on the Sabbath?
	Right? But they kept silent.
	And when he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, this is Jesus saying to these supposed men of faith, basically saying, what's wrong with you?
	Do you have no humanity?
	He said to the man, stretch out your hand.
	And he stretched it out.
	And his hand was restored.
	So this is another miracle where Jesus accelerates with the power of God through him, accelerates the spontaneous healing capabilities that are inherent in each and every one of us because we are representations of God's loving energy because we are children of God, right? So, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.
	Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
	See? So, in their dark hearts, like, we got him on a technicality.
	He performed a miracle on the Sabbath, and this is against our laws.
	It's not against God's laws.
	It's just against our laws.
	So, this is kind of like the old-school equivalent of January 6th.
	This is entrapment.
	You know, how dare you come here and peacefully speak out and perform these miracles?
	This is a violation of law.
	You'll burn for this.
	That kind of attitude.
	Actually, we'll nail you to the cross for this, right?
	And then in the next few verses, it talks about how Jesus became even more popular and A great multitude from Galilee followed him and from Judea and Jerusalem and Edomia and beyond the Jordan and those from Tyre and Sidon.
	A great multitude, when he heard how many things he was doing, they came to him.
	And so he said, we need to have a boat ready.
	If so many of them rush me from the beach, we need to have a boat so we can kind of row out into the water.
	Anyway, In verse 11, it says, Jesus is delegating the authority of God through these other people.
	This is really important to understand.
	This is a gift that can be given to others.
	So Jesus maybe takes a part of his spiritual connection with God and then blesses that upon someone else and says, here, you can heal.
	Verse 16, Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter, It talks about all the people, James, the son of Zebedee, and so on.
	And it names them all.
	And then Jesus is accused.
	In verse 22, and the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said about Jesus, said, He has Beelzebub.
	And by the ruler of the demons he casts out demons.
	They're saying that Jesus must be working for Satan and that's why the demons obey his voice, his commands.
	See? They can't believe that he represents the word of God and that the demons must obey the word of God because God is all-powerful and the demons cannot withstand the command from God.
	But because these scribes or religious leaders, because they themselves want power and fame and wealth, they want to be the ones through whom the power of God is delegated, they accuse Jesus of working for Satan.
	That's pretty evil.
	And in verse 23, Jesus answers this.
	So he called them to himself and said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
	If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
	And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but has an end.
	No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
	So what is he saying here?
	I mean, multiple things, but one of the things is that Satan can't infest the body of a person unless he first binds with that person.
	And then that man or that person can no longer defend his house, his body from infestation.
	And how does Satan bind with that person?
	And if that person carries out horrific sins of sexual immorality or deception or denouncing God or any number of other things, like child grooming and pedophilia and child trafficking, horrible, horrible sins.
	But there are other sins, of course, of extreme drunkenness, for example, or wife-beating, you know, or similar types of things.
	What this does is it opens your house to Satan entering and taking hold of you.
	And so this is a very important lesson from Christ about how to defend yourself against satanic infestation.
	So in essence, if you have an unclean spirit, then you are vulnerable to possession or infestation or influence by satanic forces.
	And Jesus talks about that in the next verse, verse 28.
	So he's saying...
	You can be forgiven if you cursed, if you sinned, if you did wrong, and if you, with honesty in your spirit and integrity in your heart, if you come to God or through Jesus and ask for forgiveness for your sins, you can be forgiven of that.
	What you can't be forgiven is attacking God himself or blasphemes against the Holy Spirit or if you say that God is the devil, for example.
	Then you're subject to eternal condemnation, which is separation from God.
	Now, one more thing, and then we'll close out this sermon.
	There's a lot more to cover here in Mark, but this is important.
	This is about the family of Christ.
	This is about his mother and brothers.
	And in verse 31, it says, Then his brothers and his mother came, and standing outside they sent to him, calling him, And a multitude was sitting around him and they said to him, look, your mother and your brothers are outside seeking you.
	And Jesus answered them saying, who is my mother or my brothers?
	This is a philosophical question.
	It's not that he doesn't recognize his family, but that he has transcended The version of family that we humans tend to assume.
	In verse 34, You see?
	Verse 35, very powerful.
	Whoever does the will of God is my family.
	We are brothers and sisters.
	We are mothers and fathers and sons and daughters, all of us who carry out the will of God.
	We are not isolated because of lineage or blood.
	We do not only have our blood siblings.
	If we live and act with the will of God in our lives, as Jesus Christ said, then all others who share those values, they are our brothers and sisters.
	And understand that Jesus died on the cross for the sins of all human beings.
	That includes, you know, the Assyrians and the Babylonians and the Akkadians, and it includes the Indians and the Chinese and the Russians of the modern day and so on.
	Jesus died for the sins of all people.
	Whoever does the will of God is my brother and my sister and my mother.
	We are all one family.
	It's the human family.
	And the forces that are opposed to humanity are satanic forces.
	They infest humanity, but they are fearful of the Word of God.
	They are fearful of the power of God that moves through those who live lives with integrity in the teachings of Christ and the commandments of God.
	If you live in the covenant with God and do not practice deception and wickedness and evil and incest and whatever all the crimes are that are mentioned repeatedly throughout the Bible, and if you follow the Word of God,
	behave with morality, behave with courage, act in accordance with the teachings and help others around you, and have compassion and humility, Then you are immune to demonic infestation and possession because the shield of God works through you.
	And we talked about, you know, the armor of God, putting on the whole armor of God so that you may be protected from what?
	The wiles of the devil and the fiery darts that are thrown at you.
	But you've got everything you need in the armor of God, don't you?
	You've got it all. This is from Ephesians 6.
	What is it? The shield of faith.
	The helmet of salvation.
	The breastplate of righteousness.
	I call it the belt, but it was, I think, like the loincloth.
	But the belt of truth.
	And, don't forget, the boots are sandals of peace.
	Don't forget about the sandals of peace.
	And the spirit of the sword also.
	So, It all comes together when you understand this.
	We are not separate from each other.
	This is why part of what I attempt to share and teach is a pro-humanity point of view.
	We must have compassion for fellow human beings.
	And notice that Jesus didn't say that, you know, except for black people or except for Palestinian people or except for Jews or except...
	No. Jesus said all the people...
	Regardless of what language they speak, regardless of what country of origin, where they came from, their ethnicity, regardless of what foods they eat, regardless of where they came from, how they look, how they talk, how they dress, they're all my brothers and sisters.
	If they carry out the will of God.
	And so, remember what we started out with in this sermon?
	How God appears to different people and speaks their language.
	And even visually appears to them in the way that is familiar to them.
	In this passage in the Gospel according to Mark, I'm going to challenge you and mention something here.
	Jesus is appearing to the people that he needed to reach In the form that is familiar to them because God willed it so.
	God wanted to grant his authority and power in the form of a human being that was familiar to the people of that region.
	That's why Jesus looked like them and spoke like them and was accepted by them without fear of his physical appearance or speaking like an alien or something.
	Understand that. God's power to appear before you is infinite.
	He can do so in the way He speaks.
	He can do so in images or apparitions.
	And He can also do so through the personification of the power of creation rendered into flesh and blood in human form.
	And in this case, that form is Jesus Christ.
	Now, there's much more, obviously, to this book of the Bible and this story, and we will continue in the next sermon with what happens next.
	Thank you for listening.
	This is Mike Adams, and we've got 100 sermons for you to enjoy and learn from.
	Many of them focus on foods and nutrition and herbs out of the Bible, but others focus on relating the Bible to modern-day challenges in morality, spirituality, the rule of law, and many other topics.
	So I hope you'll find wisdom and inspiration in each one of these.
	Wherever you found this sermon, you should be able to find the other ones as well.
	And this is, I think, sermon number 26.
	Out of 100, so good news.
	We've got like 74 yet to come.
	I can't wait. This is really exciting.
	The Bible is so amazing.
	It's a document that casts out evil and demons, and it's so powerful that I said if it were published today for the first time, Amazon would ban it.
	That's how powerful the Bible is.
	So being that this is the most pro-human, pro-faith collection of writings and teachings that has ever been gathered that we know about in human history, it's worth reading.
	So read the book of Mark and give it some thought.
	It's deep. Thank you for listening today.
