BBN, Jan 9, 2025 – ARMAGEDDON in California as Palisades fires burn entire neighborhoods...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Well, California's on fire today, or at least parts of it.
The Palisades fires and other fires have broken out as well.
Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Thursday, January 9th, 2025. I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
And of course, right off the bat, we are offering our prayers to every person, every family, every property owner impacted by these fires in California.
It is psychologically devastating to have fires coming at you that you can't control and you don't have time to get all your belongings out of the way.
I experienced this myself in 2011 with the Lost Pines fires in Central Texas.
Fortunately, those fires did not burn my location, but there were fires near.
And it was terrifying.
It's like, what can you do?
You know, what can you do?
I specifically remember hearing a helicopter flying very close to the roof of my house, and I went outside.
And as you know, I have a pond that I use to, you know, training with my dog and to let my dog swim in the pond.
And, you know, it's not a huge pond, but...
According to the helicopter pilots, it was big enough to grab some water and they came down with a water carry bag or contraption.
I don't know exactly what it is.
And they dropped this thing down into the pond.
Like, this is my pond, right?
This is my pond water.
And they drop it down into the water and pick up a bunch of water and fly off to go dump it on a fire.
And I was thinking...
Two thumbs up.
Go for it, man.
Take all the water you need because somebody's house is burning down right now and they need this water more than I need the water.
So, you know, take all the water you want.
I mean, that's what I was saying in my mind.
Obviously, the helicopter pilots could not hear me because, well, you know, helicopters are loud, etc.
They were kind of busy.
But I guess they were just dropping into all the ponds all around the area.
Anybody that had water.
The helicopters were just coming in, picking up water and dropping it on the fires.
And, you know, it got me thinking about how well organized that was and how Texas does an amazing job in dealing with emergencies.
It's one of the things that I really appreciate about living in Texas.
And I'm going to talk about the contrast of what's happening in California where, you know, California leaders are these woke, LGBT... Focused individuals, like they didn't have water supply, they have no organization, power grids down in many areas now.
It's a cluster bleep of bad planning, right?
And it's no fault of the residents who live there, right?
The leadership is insane and woke and stupid.
And that makes natural disasters so much worse.
In Texas, every time we've had a disaster, whether it was that freezing power outage a few years ago that we had, where my dog fell through the ice, but I rescued him and he lived, he was okay, or the Lost Pines fires, whatever it was, I gotta tell you, the Texas culture is a culture of getting things done, and it's a hands-on culture.
The men, it's mostly men, But some women as well.
But it's mostly, like, tough dudes in Texas.
The power line workers, or what are they called, linemen, they get in there on the windy nights, the stormy nights, the rainy nights.
They get in there and fix the power grid.
You know, God bless them.
That's a tough job.
And I've seen, you know, law enforcement do amazing things to help people.
And, of course, we've helped in many ways with food supplies.
And other ways that I haven't even talked about publicly.
We help where we can.
But Texas has a can-do attitude.
And also, the Texas government, although not perfect, obviously, is so much better organized.
That's why Texas normally responds to shooting events in a very professional manner and a rapid manner.
Now, that didn't happen in Uvalde, Texas, but that was a...
That was a contrived situation a few years ago to try to push gun control.
We know all about that.
They're standing around in the parking lot while kids were getting shot up inside the school.
Yeah, they were ordered to do that.
So that doesn't represent Texas.
That represents some liberal town and some Democrat mayor and Democrat police chief and all their anti-gun nonsense.
But for most of Texas, especially, you know, red, rural Texas, we have a can-do attitude.
We get things done.
Doesn't mean we can stop fire.
Doesn't mean we can stop Arctic wind.
But we can sure help people get back online.
Now, for the people who live in California, that is not the case, sadly.
And again, prayers to all of those there who are impacted by this.
In no way am I mocking your situation.
I am praying for you.
I feel very sorry for your situation there.
And I'm keeping a close eye on it, but let's cover the facts here, what we know so far.
We've got about 50,000 residents in the Palisades area, part of Los Angeles, with mandatory evacuations.
Over 15,000 acres have been burned so far.
Tens of billions of dollars in damage.
Wind continues to be at very high levels.
Now, I warned about this on Monday.
You know, the wind was coming and it was likely going to carry fires because the wind will down trees and the trees will fall on the power lines and the power lines will have sparks.
And then, boom, you know, the sparks and the wind, oh, it's a tinderbox, right?
And the relatively dry conditions there as well.
So these are not good.
Not good situation at all.
And then on top of that...
According to Nick Sorter on Twitter, the fire hydrants are out of water because Los Angeles County refused to refill the reservoirs.
Per Rick Caruso, he says.
I don't know who Rick Caruso is.
Must be some official there.
Maybe that's the mayor.
The mayor did zero prep despite the advanced warnings of winds and fire risk.
Yeah, and people are already comparing this to Maui.
This does look like a Maui.
Type of event where there was a spark, there's a fire, and then there's a stand-down.
You know, some of this, you can't just say it's incompetent.
Some of this looks deliberate, as if the officials got together and they said, you know what?
Let's just let it burn.
Let it all burn.
Burn those people out of there, you know?
Because they're so vindictive, you know, these Democrat politicians.
They're not just incompetent.
They are sinister.
They're evil.
The mayor of LA is Karen Bass, apparently.
I don't live there, so I don't know all these people.
But she cut funding for the firefighters recently.
And then the number one concern of the fire chief of LA is apparently being gay.
Los Angeles appointed its first openly LGBTQ plus female fire chief.
Emphasizing her being gay.
That was in 2022. Total clown show.
Fast forward to today.
LA's burning.
And it turns out that being woke doesn't put out fires.
Imagine that, huh?
Now we're going to roll some video for you here of some of the fires.
And some people are saying that on the ground, it's Armageddon.
And there are widespread reports of looting.
Now taking place in the Palisades area, the LA Fire Department is warning that people are breaking into homes.
So not only does your home get maybe burned down if you're living in that area, if your home survives and you manage to get back in, it's been looted.
Why?
Well, because this is what happens when Democrats...
They destroy everything.
They destroy it through either incompetence or, you know, they defund the police.
They defund the firefighters.
They don't fill the water reservoirs.
They have no plan.
All they focus on is being gay and being trans and being lesbians.
And if it burns, it burns.
They don't give a crap about the people.
So this speaks to the importance of choosing where you're going to live.
And, you know, this is something, again, I'm not...
Judging people who have homes in California, just to be clear.
But, you know, over the last 10 years, a lot of people have left California, and they've moved to places like Texas or Colorado or Arizona or even Tennessee or Florida, for that matter.
They moved out of California because they saw the train wreck of either incompetence or criminality at the political level that California was rapidly becoming.
And they knew.
That, hey, if we stay here in California, this is not going to end well.
And sorry to say that right now, what's happening there is that's the result of not ending well.
It's like, you know, here comes a fire and your government has no idea what to do.
No plan, no water.
You know, I mean, they've got some firefighters, they've got some law enforcement response, but obviously they're overwhelmed and...
They don't have the resources and tools that they need.
And again, you know, the fire chief is all like, oh, fires?
But we're gay.
But we're gay.
We're LGBT. Shouldn't that make everything okay?
No, my home is burning down.
You being a lesbian doesn't stop the fire, you know?
All they want to focus on in California is being woke while everything burns.
It's like Pete Buttigieg, you know, transportation secretary.
Bridges are collapsing and barges are failing.
Rivers are not passable because of drought.
What does Pete Buttigieg say?
But I'm gay!
Well, Pete, your gayness doesn't fix the bridges, it turns out.
It doesn't make transportation move faster.
The only thing moving faster is your caboose, maybe, but it's not helping the trains, the planes, the automobiles, the barges, the boats, none of that stuff.
So being gay does not make a competent government.
And that's one of the big takeaways from these last...
Four years of suffering and tyranny that we've all lived under is that wokeness is beyond authoritarian.
It's a weaponization of the culture against the people where the most woke person is placed in a position of authority instead of the most qualified person.
Now, just to be clear, I don't care if the most qualified person also happens to be gay or lesbian or even trans, for that matter.
I just want the most qualified person to run the fire department, to have the water in the fire hydrants, to have the emergency plans, whatever the position is.
I want the most qualified person.
I don't care what their personal lifestyle is.
Just don't wag and twerk in my face.
And don't lecture me all day about why you're so great because you're LGBT. No.
Put out the damn fires.
But, see, California doesn't understand that.
I mean, the California government, this culture of wokeism and DEI is a culture of destruction.
And that's what we are witnessing right now.
And what's happening in California, the burning of California, or parts of it, this is exactly what would have happened to America if Kamala had won the election.
Thank God that the Democrats were defeated.
Thank God Trump got elected in this case.
We can at least have an attempt to turn this thing around and not see America burned to the ground or whatever other form of destruction might occur.
Because the Biden regime was also ridiculously incompetent, a clown show of incompetence and arrogance and just straight-up liars.
All the White House spokespeople during the Biden years, nothing but liars, the Pentagon spokespeople, liars like Kirby and others, and KJP. Just clown show level stupidity.
So as a result of this insanity, at least earlier, 400,000 people were reported to have no power.
I went to the website poweroutage.us, which is normally reliable.
It says, outage map error.
Failed to load geometry data.
So the Power Outage website has an outage.
You can't even bring up the map on poweroutage.us, but from other sources, it's saying 400,000 customers in California have no power.
Now, obviously, as always, our prayers go to all those people who are impacted.
We're going to keep tabs on this situation.
We're going to see what we can do to help.
In the days ahead, we're kind of far from that situation here at the moment, us personally in Texas.
So right now I'm just keeping an eye on this and trying to determine what's the situation.
Power outages alone don't kill people, right?
But it's the lack of food and it's the lack of communication capabilities.
It's the lack of safety in the presence of looters, etc.
So this is also a reminder.
How many times have I mentioned the critical importance of satellite phones, folks, as backup communication devices?
Because right now in that whole area, there's no power and there's no cell towers.
And you can't call for help.
You can't call loved ones to tell them that you're okay or that you need help or that you need an evacuation.
If you had a satellite phone, you could do that.
So, I mean, yes, the Satellite Phone Store is a regular sponsor of this podcast.
The reason why I do partner with them is because their solutions help save lives and help so many people stay prepared in situations exactly like this.
And just like what happened in Hawaii at Lahaina, one person with a satellite phone there was able to get help to arrive and help over a thousand people get calls out to others, you know, to call for help or let them know they were okay.
I guarantee you there are going to be stories out of California of people with satellite phones that helped save lives and helped first responders get to the right areas to solve the most pressing problems.
Satellite phones are critical in this situation and also back up power supplies like solar generators because this whole area is not going to have power for a long time to come.
Maybe weeks for some people.
Well, certainly weeks for some people.
So, satellite phones, SAT-123, if you don't already have one, I won't travel without one, and the satellite phone store does make it very affordable and readily available, and they're getting slammed right now because of these fires, by the way.
And the satellite phone store also generously, they typically donate phones, they loan phones to first responders and law enforcement following these kinds of disasters.
And I'll be talking to Tina soon to find out exactly what they're doing.
But they do that in almost every case.
So we'll find out more about the response from the satellite phone store.
But just like us, they have a big heart.
They operate out of compassion.
They help people wherever they need help.
And even though California is run by a woke government, well, that's not the fault of the people of California who are the ones suffering under this right now.
So they deserve...
Our help and our prayers.
I want to show you this drone photograph, which is just heartbreaking.
It says an entire blocks of homes burned to the ground.
The Palisades fire could become the costliest fire in U.S. history.
You know, it's absolutely, it's devastating.
Now, the other devastating factor in all of this is the fact that home insurance companies have been leaving California.
We've covered it many times here on this podcast or in stories on naturalnews.com.
Like State Farm, for example, I believe announced last year it was completely exiting the state of California.
Now, probably some of their policies are still in effect, but they will not renew them as they come up for renewal.
The bottom line, though, Most insurance companies do not want to operate in California.
And it seems like there was a memo that went out sometime last year to the insurance companies to basically get out of California because there's a wave of destruction coming.
It was weird.
It was like all of a sudden, all these insurance companies started announcing their canceling policies and pulling out of California.
State Farm is just one of those companies.
There were many more.
Now, the bottom line from that, however, Is that, sadly, many of these homes that have just burned are surely not insured.
Which means that it's a total financial loss for these individuals, these homeowners, most of whom don't own their homes outright.
They owe the bank for these homes.
And of course, well, they're not going to be able to pay the bank now.
And the bank's not going to be able to foreclose and sell the homes now.
And if the government does in California what they did in Hawaii, they're going to build a giant fence around some of these neighborhoods and bulldoze it and claim the land.
And this may seem like a stretch, but how much you want to bet, the globalists wanted to build a 15-minute city in L.A. And in order to do that, they needed to burn it down first, or at least a big part of it, you know, the part that's going to be the 15-minute city.
How much do you want to bet?
That's what they're doing.
Yeah, I don't have any proof of that, but I can see the pattern.
It's like the government deliberately did not have water available.
They deliberately cut funding for the fire department.
They deliberately, in effect, engineered a situation where once a fire started, it could not be contained.
And they let it sweep through entire neighborhoods, and they burn these homes to the ground.
And this looks like Gaza now to me.
And they're going to bring bulldozers through here like Israel did in Gaza.
They're just going to bulldoze entire neighborhoods here.
And don't you find it odd that it appears that there are still trees that are fine?
I mean, put that photo back up.
And, I mean, doesn't that look like Armageddon?
And look at the bottom right of the photo.
Doesn't it look like those trees are still fine?
And on the bottom left, those trees look okay to me?
I mean, we can't be certain.
There are some trees that look dead, like there's one in the center of the photo that looks roasted.
But...
Here and there, it looks like there are trees that are going to recover from this, but every home, every home is burned to ash, except one guy's shed somehow.
I have a shed made out of concrete blocks or something, you know.
It's his survival shelter, and it worked.
Got hot in there, though.
But how is it that the trees are fine, or some of them are fine, and they're...
But every structure is just obliterated.
Obliterated.
Turned to ash.
Something about this doesn't look normal to me, folks.
Are you thinking the same thing I'm thinking?
Like, this is highly suspicious stuff.
The weird storms in North Carolina, the fires in Hawaii, the directed energy weapons, DEWs, huh?
Doesn't this look like an energy weapon may have started this?
Right on schedule with the winds that would carry it?
Right on schedule with the county making sure there's no water in the fire hydrants?
You know, some things are not just incompetence.
Sometimes it's a nefarious plan to dislocate people, right?
I mean, think about it.
In Gaza, Israel would bomb Gaza in order to displace millions of people so that Israel could...
Take the territory and build new homes and whatever, new resorts.
Well, what happened in Hawaii?
What's happening here in LA? This looks like a plan to destroy this land and then to take it for something else.
And we'll really know the answer to that when we watch what they do after this fire.
Will they even let people go back in and rebuild?
That's the question.
If they don't let them go back in and rebuild, that's because...
The government wants this land for something.
They're taking it.
But they needed to burn it out first.
So, keep a close eye on that.
Now, maybe in some areas they'll let people eventually go back in and rebuild, but will those people even have insurance coverage?
And home insurance in California, what exclusions apply?
Will this be considered wind damage?
Not fire damage?
Or an act of God?
I mean, I don't know how the policies read.
I don't know how they're enforced.
I don't know.
But I bet you there's going to be a lot of Californians for the next year are fighting with insurance companies trying to get a payout.
Even though they had insurance, you know, the insurance companies are often in the business of just saying, no, we deny your claim.
And then just rebuilding in California is a nightmare because You have to get government permission to build anything.
At least that's my understanding that California is a heavily bureaucratic state where you have to have all these permits for everything.
You have to have a permit to have a driveway and a brick wall.
You have to have a permit to connect to the sewer system and they're going to have to rebuild the entire utility grid infrastructure.
The power grid is gone, obviously, in these areas.
I don't think those utility poles are still usable.
Maybe some of them are, but...
A lot of them are not.
So this is going to be a very long-duration effort to try to rebuild.
According to Bloomberg News, California is, quote, now exposed.
Wait a minute, let me back up.
500,000 people in California have turned to the state's insurer of last resort, known as the Fair Plan.
F-A-I-R. Fair plan.
It's doubled in size over the past five years.
Of course, that's because private insurance companies are pulling out of California.
So, continuing from Bloomberg, quote, the state is now exposed to nearly $458 billion in potential damage.
That's an article by Mark Gongloff.
Okay?
We're talking almost half a trillion dollars.
That the state is going to have to pay out.
Half a trillion dollars?
Says the neighborhoods in the path of the Palisades and other fires burning this week have been among some of the hardest hit by insurer defections in recent years.
See, that's exactly what I've been saying.
Bloomberg also writes in a different article that more than 460,000 homes With a reconstruction value of $300 billion, have a moderate to very high risk of exposure to fires.
And the CoreLogic firm, which does analysis of property risks and assets, said that not all the homes deemed at risk are directly exposed to the current fires.
But you see, they may be...
At risk of indirect damage, such as infrastructure failures.
You know, if you have a home that didn't get burned down, but there's no power grid functioning for six months, you know, you're in a tough spot, right?
So what's the value of a home that has no electricity?
It's significantly reduced.
Or a home that has no access to a water supply?
Significantly reduced.
This is, you know, half a trillion dollars in damage that the state of California is going to have to pay out?
Well, here's the thing.
California can't print currency.
How is California going to get the money to pay out half a trillion dollars?
There's only one answer to that.
I mean, they can't just sell bonds for this.
Who's going to buy California bonds?
Seriously, who's going to pony up half a trillion dollars and hand it over to a state run by woke lunatics?
A state with no fiscal discipline.
Who's going to hand over money for that?
No sane person.
Ultimately, California is going to go to Trump, who's about to be sworn in as president.
They're going to go to Trump and say, we need a federal bailout of California.
What do you think about that?
Do you think that the taxpayers all over the country should bail out California when the Biden regime and FEMA did Nothing for North Carolina.
All the people of North Carolina were left abandoned.
The Biden administration forgot about them.
FEMA actually confiscated food supplies and interdicted food supplies going to the people of North Carolina.
That's why so many of us, non-profits and churches, we ended up ponying up the donations and sending trucks to North Carolina and Florida, by the way.
For North Carolina.
Should the federal government do something for California?
See, I have an issue with sort of selective compensation.
You know, if we're going to have a policy of compensation, it should be a universal policy that applies to all the people everywhere, or there should be a policy that nobody gets federal help.
You know, whatever it is, it needs to be consistent, is my point.
But you can bet California is going to go to Trump and say, we need half a trillion dollars.
We can't pay these claims.
Do you think Trump's going to hand over half a trillion dollars?
I doubt it, which means California is going to default on its insurance payouts.
California is going to say, we can't pay these claims.
Wow.
Which means the state of California is going to go bankrupt.
I mean, it's going to default on its obligations.
One definition of bankruptcy.
Think about this.
This fire could cause the economic collapse of the government of California, which in the short term is highly chaotic in the long run.
It might actually be a positive turning point because the government of California is so corrupt, run by a criminal cabal of just four families, it turns out, who take money from, you know, Human trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering, you name it, right?
All that stuff.
They're all into that.
Including Gruesome Newsome, of course.
But if they can't make this payout, they're going to default.
Ooh, good time to get out of California, huh?
If you still have property in California, and you're listening to this, and you're not impacted by these fires, you could still be impacted by the economic collapse of the state of California.
Property values in California could collapse because of this.
So just consider that as a possibility.
AccuWeather says there's over $50 billion in preliminary damage as estimates, and that was, you know, many, many hours ago by the time you're hearing this.
This is going to go into hundreds of billions of dollars of damage.
Donald Trump tweeted out, On Truth Social, the fires in Los Angeles may go down in dollar amount as the worst in the history of our country.
In many circles, they're doubting whether insurance companies will even have enough money to pay for this catastrophe.
Let this serve and be emblematic of the gross incompetence and mismanagement of the Biden-Newsom duo.
January 20th cannot come fast enough.
Well, I think he means quickly enough, but...
That's okay.
Well, bottom line, folks, wherever you are, have a plan for the possibility of a disaster to affect your area.
I assure you, there are people in North Carolina who thought, there's no way hurricanes are going to reach us up here in the hills of North Carolina.
Well, it wasn't a normal hurricane.
It was geoengineering, you know, weather weapons.
And it did reach them.
And it devastated entire towns.
And people there are still suffering dearly.
I've got an interview coming up with Doc Pete Chambers who just returned from North Carolina and he's got a ground report on that.
I think I'll play that interview for you probably tomorrow is my guess when that's going to go.
But wherever you are in this country, you could suffer a power outage.
You could suffer a radiological event.
You could suffer a natural disaster or a geoengineered disaster.
High winds, a drought, a flood, you know, you name it.
An earthquake.
There's a big earthquake that's going to happen off the coast of Oregon someday soon here.
Or Earth could be hit by, you know, comets and asteroids on any given day, it turns out.
So be ready.

It's not cloud-based.
It's local.
Pretty amazing.
All right, now another really important story.
Before we get to today's interview, this one comes from Information Liberation.
Chris Minahan.
Report.
MAGA influencers are being paid to promote Israel, wind farms, weed legalization, and more.
So a lot of sort of high-visibility MAGA people are reportedly taking huge money.
Like one guy was paid $160,000 to put out some tweets in favor of legalized marijuana in Florida.
Wow.
$160,000.
That's a user, that's a MAGA user that has 2 million followers on Twitter.
That is a ton of money.
There's another guy who's got over a million followers on Twitter, was paid to share a petition promoting wind energy in Texas.
Wind energy.
Now, in North Texas, there is a lot of wind, by the way.
The problem is that wind doesn't scale when you need it, necessarily.
And remember the big freeze that happened in Texas a few years back?
Well, the wind turbines were useless because they all iced up.
Some of them broke.
So, wind is also not reliable.
You can't count on it all the time.
Sometimes the wind doesn't blow, turns out.
And usually that happens at night when the sun's not shining, so there goes your solar and your wind not working.
So that's why natural gas and fossil fuels are really important for the power grid because you can scale those as you need them.
You can scale them according to demand.
Like on a cold, windless winter night when everybody's cranking up their space heaters.
How are you going to power all that?
You need fossil fuels.
Or a nuclear power plant, which takes 25 years to build and get certified.
And I bet the people in the UK and Germany and all over Europe are figuring this out right now, too.
It's like, um, how are we going to have heat this winter?
Where's the heat coming from again?
Oh.
You know, the UK, they're like, don't use electricity until 11 a.m.
Like, what?
What are you saying?
Don't flush the toilets, you know, until 6 p.m.
What?
I don't have electricity and I can't.
Pee until 6 p.m.?
What is this?
I mean, I'm joking.
They didn't really say don't use the toilets until 6 p.m., but they may soon.
Be like, you have no water except one hour a day.
You can only flush the toilets one hour a day, but that's not the same hour that you have power.
So you either have to poop in the dark or have light and hold it in your pants.
That's going to be the choice in the United Kingdom.
Welcome to Woke Energy Policy, run by libtard morons, also known as Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom.
Right.
That guy's political career is just about over.
Can't wait for that.
Maybe he and Justin Trudeau can have a cocaine party or something, celebrate how much damage they caused to the nations they once commanded.
Huh?
How about that?
Get Macron in there on that.
I'm sure he would.
Oh, and Zelensky from Ukraine.
He's got a big bag of cocaine.
He could bring the cocaine to the party.
It's like an eight-ball party with Zelensky.
He's like, I'll bring the cocaine.
You bring the cash, I bring cocaine.
Seriously.
So apparently there's this group called Urban Legend that is basically a payola influencer campaign company.
Corporations or people that are supporting legislation or policies or whatever, I guess they hire Urban Legend to go out and basically offer people money, influencers, offer them money to tweet in support of various things like marijuana or wind or maybe LGBT themes or Israel, you know, pro-Israel tweets can earn you a lot of money.
Well, you can tell Israel's never paid me to tweet anything.
That's for sure.
Wouldn't take their money anyway.
I assure you, nobody has ever paid me to tweet Jack.
Nothing.
I do tweet from time to time about my own store, obviously.
You know, specials or Christmas sale events or new products or whatever.
You know, from time to time, I really don't do that very much.
So you know if I'm tweeting something that is related to a store, I mean, it's my own store.
I do not take money to tweet, ever.
Never have, never will.
That's just not the way I roll.
But for a lot of people, that's pretty lucrative moolah.
160K to send out a tweet?
For a lot of people, that's hard to say no to.
Think about it.
That's easy money for a lot of people who built up that influence.
So be cautious out there, folks.
When you see somebody who's got a big following tweeting in support of something, you should ask yourself, is this real, is this authentic, or is this payola?
Now, they're supposed to disclose that they're being paid to send out these tweets according to the FTC. They're supposed to disclose it, but they don't.
Most of the time, they don't disclose it.
Well, beware.
Beware.
People are being paid to push agendas.
I mean, what else is new, right?
What else is new?
I mean, the entire mainstream media was sponsored by Pfizer for all the COVID years, right?
So, of course, the mainstream media is just paid off by Big Pharma.
That's what they do.
No surprise.
All right, I've got a special report for you today, and then we're going to go to today's interview, which I think you'll really enjoy.
The report is, Don't Lose Your Soul to AI. Stay grounded in humanity and faith.
This is actually, this is what I gave in my last church sermon.
It's pretty much what I said in the sermon, which I record my church sermons, but I don't broadcast them.
I don't post them.
But I do have them recorded just for archival purposes.
But essentially what I said at church is the same thing that I'm saying here.
Don't lose your soul to AI. So enjoy this special report.
I think it's really important to have this perspective for this year and beyond as AI seems to be taking over everything.
And then after that, we're going to have an interview for you here.
And the interview is with T.J. Smith.
who's with T.J. Smith Ministries.
I think you'll really enjoy that interview.
And if you missed yesterday's interview with the four doctors, Dr. Brian Artis, Dr. Ed Group, Dr. Henry Ely, Dr. Jana Schmidt, we've received a lot of positive feedback about that interview.
You don't want to miss that.
And they are the co-producers of the event that's airing on Saturday at Brighteon University, brightu.com.
You can sign up for free to watch that entire docu-series.
It is called Cleansing the Causes of Cancer.
Right.
I mean, you want to know the truth about cancer?
You want to know how to detox from the things that promote cancer?
How do you overcome cancer?
How do you activate your body's natural healing abilities and natural detox capabilities?
Well, this course at Brighton University answers that question.
So just go to brightu.com.
That's bright and then the letter U, brightu.com.
Enter your email address there.
It's free.
It begins streaming this Saturday, January 11th.
One episode per day on a continuous loop for that whole day, and then the following day another episode airs.

Or you can just watch it all for free there at brightu.com.
Okay, enjoy the special report and the interview that follows, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
And for all of you in California, prayers for your protection.
Stay calm, stay prepared.
Take action as necessary to help yourself and help others.
And we'll keep an eye on things, and I'll be back with you tomorrow with an update on the situation.
Take care.
I'm going to summarize here in a special report the sermon that I gave at my church just recently.
And it's a message that I was told by one of the members of the church, a message that Glenn Beck then gave, almost the exact same message the following day.
And I'm not at all claiming that Glenn Beck copied my church sermon.
Rather, I think that many of us are coming to very similar realizations about what's happening in the world and about AI and about faith and spirituality.
So, again, not claiming he copied me, and actually his was broadcast before this was broadcast, but here's my message.
This is what I said on, what was it, January 5th.
I said that 2025 will be the year of seduction because of AI, because of...
Artificial images, artificial videos, artificial girlfriends, artificial friends in the AI realm, artificial avatars, artificial news, all of this.
AI is an amazing technology, and we are using it to empower human beings with knowledge and to bypass censorship and bypass disinformation that's put out by governments and big pharma, etc.
But AI also comes with many risks and downsides or dangers for society.
And one of those is the risk that people become seduced by AI and they end up being consumed by AI worlds, these fake worlds or fake relationships or deceived by the fake videos, fake images and so on.
And I said that we're going to have such incredible deception and such a...
Psychological attacks on us and so many strange things happening, maybe a faked alien invasion or a real invasion from a foreign country or, you know, psychological operations, false flags, all kinds of things like that that will be so significant that we need to stay centered in our morals, our values, our love for humanity, and our faith with God.
That's what's going to, I think, Differentiate people in 2025 is that question of can you stay centered in your faith and in your humanity?
Can you maintain your morals, your values, and your discernment even in a time when we are being universally deceived?
Because there are bad actors out there that will, of course, exploit AI technology for nefarious purposes.
They will use it to deceive.
They will use it to control.
They will use it to destroy.
And I'm not saying that all AI technology is bad.
It's not.
I'm going to use AI technology from a pro-human point of view.
But there are bad actors who will use it as a weapon.
So this is a very important year to remember who we are, how we got here, and to keep our creator...
Not just in mind, but to give thanks to our Creator for our very existence.
Now, if you're a person who is not someone who believes in God or not a person of faith or not a person who reads the Bible, I completely understand that because that's where I used to come from as well.
For most of my life, I wasn't interested in the Bible.
I always did believe in God, by the way, but I wasn't interested in reading or learning or teaching the Bible.
So I understand that, but because of the rise of AI and the demonic entities that are trying to exploit it as a weapon against humanity, this is a good time, if you're ever interested in spirituality or in the Bible, which is really quite fascinating, if you're ever interested in it, this is a great year to start reading it and learning about it.
Because it connects you with where you came from, where your ancestors came from, and who you are.
And it's a great anchor to remind us that we are not machines.
And that merging with machines is actually a form of death or, you know, suicide.
It's not a healthy thing to want to merge with machines.
It is a healthy thing to want to be with God and to want to be in heaven eventually after this life.
But not at all healthy to think that machines are gods or that we should worship those machines as gods.
You know, talk about false idols.
That's the most outrageous example of false idols is thinking that your machine is your god or that the world created by the machine is the real world.
You know, the virtual reality or the virtual avatar, the virtual girlfriend.
Like I said earlier, a lot of young men are going to be really seduced.
By virtual girlfriends, because those virtual girlfriends will pay attention to them, where perhaps real women in the real world don't pay attention to them.
I can see a lot of young sort of unpopular men, maybe incels as they're called, really falling in love with machines, and that's going to be very seductive and destructive at the same time.
Those of you listening who are parents or grandparents and you have younger people in your family, keep an eye on them and remind them of who they are and where they came from and have that connection with reality.
That's why homeschooling is great.
And that's why raising kids on a farm is great or teaching kids how to...
To remind them that you're not just part of a machine.
This is going to become really critical this year and beyond.
Now, in terms of technology versus God, because this is a very important discussion and an area of discernment.
Technology cannot create life.
Technology, I'm talking about AI tech, it can create the simulation of life or the illusion of life.
It can create convincing videos, convincing songs.
I've used it for that.
And I really enjoy AI augmented song creation because it helps me express my humanity, by the way.
So yeah, AI tools can also be used for pro-human purposes.
To help share information and knowledge and help uplift people.
But never confuse an AI-generated avatar with a real person.
Do not confuse an AI-generated world with the real world.
Do not confuse AI-generated pictures with real photography, for example.
So one of the things that I do, you may have noticed that my special reports, called Health Ranger Reports, When I distribute those now, I have them illustrated and captioned by AI engines.
So I actually run them through an AI engine to put in captions so they have the English words there, which a lot of people have said they appreciate.
So that helps those who are hearing impaired to be able to enjoy the content.
But I also have AI illustrate the concepts that I'm talking about.
And if you're watching this right now, You should note that there are probably illustrations that are accompanying this special report.
But I specifically use an illustration style that immediately announces that this is not a photograph.
This is not a real, you know, scene.
This is an illustration.
So I use illustrations.
Through AI, like ink on parchment or pencil sketch on a canvas or watercolors or ink sketches, things like that to let you know that this is an illustration and it's not a real photograph.
And I do that on purpose, even though I could have the AI engine create photorealistic images that look like photographs.
I do not do that because I don't want to confuse people about what's real.
And what's not real?
What's just a simulation or an illustration?
Now, I saw an AI-generated video just yesterday that appeared to depict Nancy Pelosi on a walker in Congress, in the House of Representatives, and then collapsing and chasing down maybe a senator.
I forgot who was in the video.
It was described as AI, and clearly it was not a real video.
But if you didn't know that, it would have been very convincing as a video.
It could have easily been deceptively promoted with a caption that says, oh, this just happened in the Senate chambers or the House chambers yesterday.
And a lot of people would have believed it precisely because it was so visually convincing.
And that will happen a lot.
This year and in the years to come.
And perhaps there will be laws passed that say you have to have a disclaimer or a symbol that indicates that this is AI generated, something like that.
It's very possible that could happen.
And what's interesting about that from an economic point of view is it's going to put a premium.
On images and videos that are not AI-generated, there will be a marketplace, for those of you who are photographers or videographers, there will be a marketplace for non-AI images and videos that are taken in the real world.
That marketplace will explode in the years to come.
That's interesting to note.
But for content creators like myself, when I'm illustrating A sermon or a lecture or a presentation like this.
I don't need real-world photography.
I'm just trying to illustrate ideas or to depict things visually or metaphorically.
And so AI is really great for that.
But note that I am not trying to deceive anybody about the fact that these images are AI-generated images.
So the intention behind the person that's using the tools is what comes through.
If you're getting AI-generated content from a person who has ethics, who has morals and values, who is pro-human and who remembers their place in this universe, who remembers that God created us and we have to honor God and give thanks to God, then that person is very likely to use AI tools responsibly and in a way that is consistent with their values and morals.
Relatively few people in society have those morals and values.
And instead, they believe in exploiting tools for profit or for deception or in some cases for destruction.
And so you are going to witness that element a lot this coming year and in the years after that.
So I want to give you some tips, some guidance here as someone who is steeped in AI R&D. Building an AI model, which is a store, an archive of human knowledge, and that's called Enoch, and that will be available at brighteon.ai starting March 1st.
But I want to give you some tips so that you are not deceived by AI. Tip number one, when you see a video or you see an image from now on, forevermore, from this day forward, you should ask the question, is this a real image?
Was it taken in the real world?
Was it something that, you know, actually happened?
Or did somebody generate this?
So this is the year when we can no longer believe our eyes.
We can't simply just take it as a matter of fact that what we are looking at is actually real.
So I did a song, by the way, I did a song called Where the Money Go, Joe.
And Where the Money Go, Joe, used AI to generate what were photorealistic scenes, but they were clearly fictional because I would have Joe Biden standing in a room with like honey dripping down from the ceiling or dollar bills flying around behind him.
Things that Joe Biden would not actually do, right?
So there's no confusion.
And this is a hip-hop song that...
I was creating the music video for.
So everybody knows that that music video is fiction, right?
So that wasn't put out there to deceive.
It wasn't put out there to say, oh, Joe Biden actually was, you know, dripping with honey.
No, that didn't happen.
But there will be instances where you encounter people who are using it to deceive.
So do not trust images.
Do not trust videos by default.
Now, this is on top of the fact that you should never trust the mainstream media anyway.
You should never trust media images because, well, media photographers, they lie with real photos.
They will show you one specific angle or they will leave something out.
So the other piece of wisdom in all of this is that it's not just with the introduction of AI that people can lie with images.
People have always been able to lie and deceive with images.
They do it all the time in the mainstream media.
They'll show you a specific image, a specific scene, a specific angle, or they'll take a picture of a Trump rally two hours before it begins and they'll tell you nobody was there.
So they lie in all kinds of different ways.
Even though it's a real photograph, it can still be a deceptive composition.
And, you know, that's...
It's been true with Hollywood films for a very long time where, yeah, those are real actors and it's real cameras and real lighting, but the script is fiction.
You know, it's a fictional movie that looks real.
It didn't take AI to create it.
It just took a producer and a cast and a cinematographer and a lot of infrastructure.
So AI isn't inventing fake videos.
Hollywood's been doing that forever.
Well, I mean, since the beginning of moving images called movies.
But AI just makes those depictions now readily available to more and more people who don't have the budgets of movie studios.
So that's why you're going to see a lot more fake videos, but also really funny memes.
Like the Nancy Pelosi meme I just mentioned.
I look forward to seeing AI videos sort of animating what would otherwise have been political cartoons or various memes.
I think it'll be really intriguing and very creative, as long as we know that they are AI-generated and not real.
So another tip in all of this is to know your source.
From whom are you getting your information?
If you're listening to my podcast, you probably tend to trust my judgment.
My values and my morals.
And that's a good choice on your part because I always intend to inform you honestly and ethically about what's happening in the world.
Doesn't mean that I've been 100% correct in every story or every analysis or every prediction because I haven't.
But you know that it's coming from a place of authenticity and love for humanity and love for the truth and transparency.
But, of course, there are Other people out there who just want clickbait, let's say.
They just want clicks.
They just want traffic.
They just want views on YouTube.
They don't care how they get those views, even if they deceive.
They don't care.
So if you're running around the internet just getting content from unknown people, beware!
Beware in 2025 and beyond, because there are going to be a lot of unknown people who aren't even people.
They're not even real.
I've already encountered a lot of videos on YouTube.
That are AI podcasts or AI avatars presenting information, AI voices.
That's become very convincing.
And a lot of people have figured out they could just produce videos so they don't even have to talk themselves.
All they need is a script and some images and some AI generators and boom, they have a video.
That video might actually be pretty compelling.
That's what they're doing.
They're putting those videos out and deceiving people.
So watch out for that.
Another tip is to know the values of the people from which you are getting information.
I sort of mentioned this, but ask yourself, the person telling you this thing, the person distributing this thing, are they an ethical person?
Are they a generous person?
Are they a compassionate person?
Are they someone who is working in the interests of human civilization?
Are they working to uplift people?
Are they sharing knowledge?
Or are they just trying to get clicks and trying to strong arm you or manipulate you or something like that?
This is a key question to ask yourself about every source of information from where you learn something.
What is their true agenda?
What are they trying to accomplish?
For some people, that agenda is just, you know, YouTube money, clickbait.
For other people, it's to share a passion about something.
You know, maybe people who believe in, let's say, the paleo diet or something.
Maybe they're just really passionate about the paleo diet and they want to help people live healthier lives with the paleo diet, just as an example.
Other people might want to share the Word of God.
And nothing wrong with that.
And at least they're honest about what they're doing.
Hey, I'd like to bring you closer to God.
And would you like to learn something about the creator of the universe?
You know, that's an interesting question to ponder.
But then there are some people out there that just want to spread actual misinformation.
Often those people are government people.
FDA, CDC, EPA, USDA. Corporations, pesticide manufacturers, vaccine makers, drug companies, you know, a lot of corporate interests in those areas, and they want to generate profits, and they want to deceive, and they will use AI to try to more effectively market their deceptions.
They will do that.
And it will be convincing to a lot of people.
And remember that a corporation is not a person.
A corporation is not a human being.
A corporation does not have the consciousness, the values, or the ethics of a human being.
By definition, a corporation really only has the ethics of its own existence, and especially if it's a public company, the prioritization of profits.
And smaller companies or non-public corporations tend to reflect the values of their founders and their managers and so on.
But often, once a company goes public...
It just becomes an endless pursuit of profit and greed at any cost.
And we see that with big pharma.
We see that with a lot of companies, pesticide manufacturers, etc.
So this is a time when I trust information from individuals that I know and trust far more than I would trust information from a big, powerful corporation or even a corporate media giant like Associated Press.
I don't trust them.
Not one bit.
Reuters, I don't trust them.
Don't trust the New York Times.
Don't trust the Washington Post, obviously.
Don't trust CNN. Don't trust any of those.
They're not people.
They're not people.
And they're corporations.
They are mouthpieces of propaganda.
And the people that do work there, most of them are bad people.
They want to use their power to deceive.
And they politicize and weaponize their power in order to attack Trump or attack America or spread lies that they know are lies or to push people to take vaccine jabs that harm and kill people, etc.
So I don't trust corporate entities alone.
I only trust people.
And if there are smaller corporations that have good people behind them, I'm open to that.
Yeah, no problem.
But I don't trust big, powerful corporations and governments and government regulators.
I don't trust any of those at all.
And you shouldn't either.
This is a time of great deception.
And the worst deceivers will be the powerful corporations, the lobbyists, the governments, the industry groups, the big tech platforms themselves.
They are deceivers.
You know who does not deceive you?
God.
God shows you the truth.
God leads you on a journey of pursuing the truth.
So if you really want to move closer to truth, reject the things created by man, including, by the way, the fake AI videos and all that nonsense, and instead find truth in learning about God, learning about humanity, learning about who we are and God's Why are we here?
What is the soul?
What's the nature of the spirit?
And why did God place us here in this moment, in this world?
When you can begin to answer that question, then you've gained real wisdom and real knowledge at that point.
So pursue that.
That's definitely a pursuit that I share with you.

Welcome to today's interview here on brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon free speech platform.
And today we have a very special guest in studio.
His name is TJ Smith and he's at TJ Smith ministries.com.
And he's an author of many interesting, intriguing books on the subjects that we're about to talk about today.
Welcome, TJ. It's great to have you here.
Thank you, Mike.
It's an honor to be here.
Been following you for several years now, and we love your products.
In fact, kudos.
You have a great tech team.
They treated us like royalty back there and gave us stuff, and we're sold.
You've got a great ministry going on here, and we love everything you're doing.
If you go to the trouble to come visit us, We're going to shower you with superfoods and freeze-dried snacks and whatever, like good stuff.
So thank you for coming.
I really appreciate it.
This is the first time we've ever spoken, first time we've ever met.
We are living in a world right now.
Let me just lay out the groundwork here, and then I'll turn it over to you.
We're living in a world right now where we have this current nation of Israel, led by currently Netanyahu, Who is under indictment in multiple ways, but that's a different story.
And he appears to represent this group called Zionists, or this philosophy of Zionism, which admittedly, openly says that God gave them the right to bomb and kill other people around them in Gaza, in Lebanon.
I guess eventually in southern Turkey as well.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia, all of it.
They believe that God gave them this sole right to determine who lives and who dies and to take the land because they say God promised it to them in the Bible because they claim to be Semites and then they claim that anybody who opposes their genocide, ethnic cleansing, displacement, whatever, is an anti-Semite.
And that word has been weaponized to try to shut down criticism of Israel.
Probably both of us have been accused at one time or another of being anti-Semites.
But you've done extensive research into what is a Semite.
You have a book about it.
So where do we begin to understand what is a Semite?
I mean, are we talking about just those of Abraham?
And are the people of modern-day Israel, are they actually Semites or not?
Right.
So I typically start with, I don't, and I say this like first page.
I don't hate the people Moses led through the desert.
I don't hate the people that crucified our Lord.
I don't hate those guys.
What I hate is someone posing as someone else for a land grab.
Absolutely.
And in my opinion, and through research, DNA and science, that's what's happened.
So we have to kind of rewind.
For folks that aren't aware, Noah, it really begins with Noah.
Noah had three sons, Shem, Japheth, and Ham.
Their descendants were called Shemites, Hamites, and Japhethites.
So it's Shem's descendants, the Shemites, that morphed into the word Semite.
So if someone says, well, I am from, I'm a Semite.
You're saying, I descend through Abraham, Jacob, Esau, King David, all the way back to Noah.
The problem is, they call themselves Semites, yet every prime minister of Israel has claimed descendancy as an Ashkenazi.
So, yeah, the last four letters are Nazi.
I don't go there, you know.
But Ashkenaz...
Shem, Ham, Japheth.
Ashkenaz was the grandson of Japheth.
There were no land-grab promises to Japheth or Ham.
The only one that eventually got the land promises were those that descended from Shem.
So you go there first.
But I thought the promise was originally to Abraham.
Yes, and Abraham descended.
Of course, from Shem.
But didn't this promise, it was a covenant, it was a two-way agreement, wasn't it?
No.
Wait, let me just answer the question.
You know more than I do, so I'll defer to you.
But my understanding was that God said that as long as you are obedient to God's teachings, then you will be blessed with these things.
Yeah.
And the only reason I said no, not to say you're wrong, but the covenant that God had always made, It was conditional between God and this guy and God and this group of people.
And when it was with Abraham, remember God put him to sleep, cut the sacrifice, and God alone walked through it.
It was a unilateral covenant so that no man could break it.
Ah, okay.
So then the Zionists would say, well, see there?
It's unbreakable.
It's ours.
Wait.
Paul had said the promise of the inheritance, the heir, would be to Abraham and his seed.
And Paul lays it out in the New Testament, the seed is Jesus.
Okay, but the Old Testament teachings and the Zionists reject all of Paul and Christ and the New Testament, all of it.
They're not going to accept that.
Right.
But as believers, and what the New Testament was laying out was, you had this, you know, It's the spiritual and the physical.
So Paul had said, most of prophecy, it's physical, then the spiritual comes.
It's not the other way around.
So when Moses led his disciples out of the desert for 40 years to the promised land, Jesus became the spiritual Moses who led us to a spiritual promised land.
So Adam was the first man, Jesus was the first spiritual man.
So there's always this back and forth, the parallel.
That we have to keep in mind.
We have to keep context.
So God made the covenant with Abraham, but made sure Abraham couldn't mess it up.
So he put him to sleep.
God walked, because most people were supposed to walk through the open bull together.
God made it with himself.
And in the book, I'll just show you what it looks like.
If you go to the website, it looks like that.
The Last Semite.
Yeah, show the website here.
It is tjsmithministries.com.
And you can access it through tjsmithministries.com or.org.
There it is, yeah.
Yeah, either one will get you there, the.org or the.com.
And here's the book, The Last Semite.
Yeah, The Last Semite, and it's available in e-book, too.
Okay.
But I give the references to...
And what I would call common sense, too, which is sadly missing in a lot of our culture.
Well, yes, yes.
But continue with this, because if modern-day Zionists say that it was an unbreakable covenant, and they also say that they are the Semites.
Now, of course, Netanyahu, the situation gets complicated because he's, I think, originally from Poland.
Right?
And then he changed his name, didn't he?
Yeah, he took his...
Okay, so his grandfather?
Yeah.
His first name was Netanyahu.
Uh-huh.
And then he got in trouble or was scared because he was displaced.
So he actually made his middle name his last name.
So his father then took that name.
So Netanyahu's last name is really his grandfather's first name.
So there's not a lot of substantial evidence.
And since the fall of, you know, Jerusalem in 70 A.D., all of the records of lineages were destroyed.
So even in 100 A.D., someone could say, hey, I'm from the tribe of Benjamin.
Oh, prove it.
Well, you know, those records got destroyed.
Well, I'm sorry, pal, the burden of proof's on you.
So for 2,000 years, no one has been able to trace where they came from.
People can say, well, I took a 23andMe test.
That DNA said that I am 100% Jewish.
I have a friend who passed away, but he handed me his letter from 23andMe, and he was so excited about it.
What that means is he was 100% Ashkenazi Jew, Kazarian Jew.
So if people aren't familiar with that, Kazars was an empire.
Takes up most of southern Russia.
Ukraine is right on the edge, so it was actually part of the King Bulan's empire back in the 8th or 9th century.
And he needed a religion with allies.
So the story goes, and I'll simplify it, he brought in a Catholic priest, he brought in a rabbi, and he brought in a Muslim to all give their spiel.
They gave their pitch.
And he decided, you know, the one that kind of has everything in common with the other two is Judaism.
So, sounds good to me.
He converted his entire nation to Judaism.
Every one of those are now Wikipedia.
And, you know, if it's in Wikipedia, it's got to be right.
The one thing I like about Wikipedia, it's so liberal, right?
And they control what you put out.
You can't go change something with truth, yet...
They even admit 97% of all Jews come from Khazaria.
They're Ashkenaz.
The other 3% are Sephardic.
Well, Sephardic was the Spanish generation or when the rabbis went and converted Spain.
So the other three are also converts.
So basically, 100% of all people claiming to be Judaic adherents, they're converts.
That's it.
So wait, they're not descendants of Shem?
No.
So where are the descendants of Shem?
I think they ended at the last Semite.
And I think with the temple being destroyed, they killed a million Jews in the city.
Oh my.
Yeah, they took 100,000 of them captive and placed them in places like Pompeii as slaves.
And they died out.
And if you look at the global picture of Scripture, the narrative of the Bible, I don't see that God ever wanted Judaism to continue.
Well, that's not at all controversial.
But you may have a point, right?
Because Jesus was the new humanity.
Right.
And really the new covenant with God, in essence.
And if Jesus didn't bring together Jew and Gentile, which Paul says, then he failed in his attempts.
So we still have Jews here and we have Christians here.
Yeah, there are people that follow the Jewish faith, and I also mention that in here.
For all of 99% of the people that follow the Jewish faith, they love it.
They're wonderful people.
They love their kids.
They want peace and harmony in the world.
They want freedom.
They want to live their life.
Right.
There are many Jews that oppose what Netanyahu is doing.
That's not what this is about.
Right.
This is about the leaders.
And that goes back to Rothschilds, 1800s, who wanted to establish that Israeli state and were willing to do whatever they had to do.
Hitler's grandfather was a Jew.
He was one of the Rothschilds.
Rothschilds, I mean, they invented that name for themselves.
Yeah.
And they were, you know, the...
That's a German word for red shield, isn't it?
Well, and then the royal family, they changed their last names.
Because they also were Jews.
The Ashkenazi Jews.
The Rothschilds were Ashkenazi Jews.
Hitler's grandfather was a Rothschild.
And then, whoa, son of a gun.
He's chancellor of Germany.
How did that happen so quick?
Oh, now he's the leader of Germany.
How did that happen so quick?
Yeah, and then the central banks and everything else.
But let me back up for a second.
If I understand you correctly, and of course you can correct me, you're saying that even from a lineage point of view, there's no solid evidence showing that modern-day Israelites are actually Semites.
Right.
And I'll extend that.
They can't trace their genealogy to Ham or Japheth either.
Oh, wow.
All those records are gone.
There's no way.
All they could do is trace as far back as the 8th or 9th century to an Ashkenaz, to a Khazarian Empire.
So, well, then what about modern-day Palestinians?
Are they Semites?
Or not?
And one of the, I'm glad you asked, one of the studies I list in here from an Israeli genesis, what do they call them?
The studies of genealogy?
Uh-huh, yeah.
A geneticist.
He said there is more ancient DNA in Palestinians than there are in Jews.
So he said if anyone deserves that land, it's the Palestinians.
Wow, that's different.
Yeah, that's a big aha.
But let me step back for a second and ask a bigger question that I think our audience would agree, and I think you'll agree with this, that we do not believe that your genetic code alone That establishes some kind of sovereign right to land.
That whole idea, which was the kings and queens of ancient Europe, that you were born as a god and you had the right to rule over others.
I thought we abandoned that.
It was supposed to be democracy or a constitutional republic.
But this idea today, and America ended slavery.
We no longer say because you were born with...
Black skin that you are destined to be owned by another human.
That's absurd, right?
But yet, right now, modern day in Israel, with the support of most of the U.S. Congress and many governors and lawmakers, they say that because of their claimed genetic ancestry, they sit above all other humans.
Isn't that a contradiction of...
So-called liberal world order, democracy, and the rule of law.
I mean, isn't that a contradiction of everything that modern society teaches us?
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
That is the blanket of deception that has been so successful.
Just claim that I deserve that.
It's in this book.
And, you know, the Rothschilds...
Theodore Herzl was a Rothschild right-hand man.
He's the one that held the first Zionist conference in like 1897. He's the one that went to the Pope because they knew, the Rothschilds knew, we need a big religious thing behind us on this.
The Jewish state wasn't going to do it.
There was no Jewish state.
There was no form to it.
It was pretty just whatever.
So they went to the Pope at the time.
And he listened to it and he said, take a hike.
They basically said, be our big arm, our strong arm force.
And they said, no.
And they said, well, we've got to go to the Protestants then.
So they went to the Protestants and they eventually came across Sirius Schofield.
Oh boy.
And he was an itinerant Kansas preacher.
He abandoned his wife and daughter, went and had an affair with a woman.
He spent time in jail for deceiving and theft.
You know, it's just not the kind of guy you want writing your Bible, right?
So then he deceived generations of Christians after that.
Yeah, and it was funded by the Rothschilds.
Wow.
The Rothschilds paid for him to go overseas to complete and work on this Schofield reference Bible.
And it was the first time anyone had the huevos.
To actually put their thoughts and comments right next to the verse.
And even Philip Morrow, a theologian back in the 30s and 40s, he said, this is just wrong.
This is almost anti-Christ.
You don't put your thoughts next to the Scriptures.
Right.
I mean, you can write a separate report.
Exactly.
You can write your own book.
You can give your own seminar.
You can say whatever you want, but it's not in the Bible.
Yeah, and they knew.
Well, Rothschild's pretty smart.
Yeah.
They've been around for a reason.
But what happened was people began to remember Schofield's quotes more than the actual verse itself.
Oh, wow.
You know, the quote, well, if you cross Israel, you're crossing God.
That came out of Schofield's mouth.
Uh-huh.
Right next to the verse.
Well, but it has led to a situation today that I've observed, especially among, let's say, older Christians in America.
I don't know if it was a generational thing or what, but they were taught the Schofield Bible or variations of it, and they now irrationally and automatically support Israel no matter what, even if it violates everything else in which they believe.
And let me give an example of this.
So we have a lot of Christian conservatives in America, lawmakers and so on, and they will say they are pro-life, which you think means pro-life, right?
So they're like, it's wrong to murder babies in the womb.
But then, the very next sentence, they'll say, it's right to kill them in Gaza.
And I say, whoa, what happened to your values over here?
I thought you believed in Jesus and God's values and life, and then now you're saying it's okay to kill people because of something you were taught in the Schofield Bible.
Right.
Yeah, so that was part of that whole plan.
That Schofield Bible was designed to...
To get Christians anemic, to get us passive, to get us out of the way, let whatever they want to do happen because it's in the Bible.
It's coming.
Well, I don't want to get in the way of God.
I don't want to cross Israel.
Israel wants to take Palestine.
Well, I want to be on Israel's side because they're the apple of God's eye.
And it has produced...
Several generations of passive, ignorant Christians.
Absolutely.
I'm glad you used that word.
Because I would argue that even Paul himself, he didn't say it directly, but he did not want Christians to be ignorant Christians.
He wanted people to think about what they were doing.
Not to question Christ himself, but to...
Well, I mean, didn't Paul teach, like, you don't need to do all these old rituals from the Old Testament.
You don't need to actually eat kosher all the time.
It's about the heart.
It's about the intent.
Like these ancient rituals, think about what you're doing, right?
So why can't today's Christians in America think about this and realize that what Israel is doing today violates the teachings of Christ?
Yeah.
John Hagee.
Which I was on a TV show with John Hagee back in the 90s.
He has 99 million viewers, 100 million viewers now.
Yeah.
And he's like leading the charge of Zionism and has without a degree in theology or anything.
He had like a business degree.
And he bought into it, hook, line, singer.
I feel sorry for him.
I don't think he really knows.
I've sent him the book.
Never heard back.
I'm sure they didn't.
He contacted me because I was a performer for quite a while and did vocal impersonations at Fredericksburg.
It was a theater there and did like 200 shows a year.
That's a great talent, by the way.
Yeah, I like it.
Thank you.
It was fun.
No, I've often thought...
Well, it's a side topic, but I love that fact about you that you've done that.
I got a call one day.
Marie and I were driving down the street, and it was from some guy named Bob, I don't know, at John Hagee Ministries.
Hi, this is Robert at John Hagee Ministries, and we'd like to use you to do some voiceover work of Johnny Cash reading through parts of Scripture.
Pastor Hage is going to be doing a four-part series on the four horsemen of the apocalypse and would like you to read this.
So I contacted him back.
I said, well, tell me a little more about it because I've got a recording studio at my house so I can do it there and just email it to him.
And he said, here's the sections we want you to read from the book of Revelation.
And it's these.
And I was like, well, first of all, I think Revelation's been fulfilled.
So I couldn't go there with him.
And I said, you know, I'm not really into the whole Zionism thing.
It was good money.
Mike, it was going to be good money for like an hour.
And I said, I just can't do it.
If you ever change your viewpoints, let me know.
If you have something else that doesn't deal with a misinterpretation of the book of the Revelation, I'm on board, but I can't do it.
So he's been on this train for decades.
You know, the four blood moons and everything's pointing to the messages in the sky and you can see the stars he's trying to tell us.
And I'm like, You know, he's capable of just talking to us.
You know that.
That's a good point.
He doesn't have to make a jigsaw puzzle out of everything.
That's a good point.
But just to clarify, so you think that 70 A.D. was the fulfillment of Revelation?
Yeah.
Am I right in thinking that?
Yeah, and I'm not alone.
I'm not alone.
No, I know you're not alone.
I mean, there's many, many scholars that are now saying...
I've had a lot of people contact me about that very point.
Yeah.
And I'm very curious about that myself.
Yeah, and that's...
That's when people say, oh, the end times.
It's the end of time.
The Bible never uses that phrase.
It uses the time of the end.
Well, it uses the day of the Lord a lot.
The day of the Lord.
And you know, you get the day of the Lord, the understanding from the Old Testament.
And anytime you research and you see, type it in, day of the Lord.
God...
Is always about to punish his people for disobedience.
That's right.
And that's always known as punishment and the day of the Lord.
It's a judgment.
That's what that is.
I'm glad to hear you say that because I've said the same thing and I got flack for that.
I'm like, the day of the Lord is not the day that you want.
No, you don't want the day of the Lord on you.
And you get to the New Testament and then now you start to see the transition of Jesus saying, I'm God.
I am the Lord.
I am the bread of life.
I'm the way.
I'm the life.
No one comes to me except through the Father.
You know, I mean, it's over and over.
And finally, Jesus is telling the Pharisees, you're going to see me coming in the glory of my Father.
Well, they know what the glory of the Father is.
It's more judgment.
That's right.
And when he says, I will show my face.
Yeah.
That's not a happy moment.
No, no.
That's the understanding.
And you look again in the Old Testament when you see God doing this cloud of glory.
Oh, I want a cloud of glory.
No, when that cloud of glory came, it typically was the dust coming up from the soldiers marching to punish Jerusalem once again.
Yeah, once again, yeah.
We're taking you into, you know, captivity for 400 years.
70 years this time.
I mean, you're going to know, and that's what God would say, you're going to know, I am the Lord.
Well, and that's a segue to another question I had for you, and I'm sorry if I'm jumping around, but in the Old Testament, The kingdom of Judea and the ancient Israelites in various years, they repeatedly betrayed the Lord.
And they were judged again and again, and they were taught lessons again and again, and occasionally they would come back to the Lord and things would get a little better in Jerusalem for a while, but not for long.
And then they would go back to the same wicked ways, and they would be judged again and again.
And it struck me as I was really studying this that it seems to me like And this is my take on it.
I'm curious about yours.
But God got tired of that cycle and said, I'm going to try something different.
And that's Christ.
Like, the Israelites could never be turned into good people just by repeatedly punishing them.
Like, that pattern did not work.
They were just inherently so wicked for whatever reason.
Maybe it's just human nature.
I don't know.
But Christ was the new way to say, okay, guess what?
We're not just going to keep wiping out your cities and sending plagues upon you and so on.
Now, we're going to actually teach love, and we're going to teach a much higher consciousness way of inviting God and Christ into your life.
Does that make sense to you?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, you're right.
I would go one step further and say God planned it that way.
He never intended for that old thing to continue on.
You know, those were, as Paul would say, those were shadows of the coming reality.
I see.
And Christ was the coming reality.
So everything, you can see a picture, a motif, the garden motif of Adam having daily fellowship with God.
Adam disobeyed.
He lost it.
And Paul says Christ restored what Adam lost, which was a personal relationship with the Father.
So we have that.
So all of this was a planned design, but I... I feel like God said, I've got to take you through how it looks in the physical to be in a covenant with someone until Christ brings the spiritual side of it.
You know, Jesus stood before Pilate and said, this kingdom's not in my world.
That's right.
I have a spiritual kingdom.
That's right.
We serve a spiritual king who has a spiritual kingdom, and he could care less about terra firma.
He could care less about 18 more square miles.
Oh, yeah, well, go ahead and just, you know.
Knock off another 10,000 or 20,000 Palestinians or whoever you want.
Just get that land back.
Well, and I think Jesus of Nazareth was also saying to Pilate that I am no threat to Rome.
Right.
I'm no threat to you.
I'm not a threat to anything of this earth.
I am the son of God, king of God's world, which is beyond this world.
And Pilate probably thought, ah, this guy's nuts.
I don't think Pilate believed what he was saying, right?
No.
Pilate just said he's not a threat to Rome.
No, he's nothing.
Even the high priest, when he was questioning Jesus, and Jesus said, you're going to see me come in the glory of the Father, and he tore his robe.
Surely this man speaks apostasy, heresy.
Why did he say that?
Because they knew the only person that could come on clouds of glory was the Father.
So he was saying, I'm God.
That's why they did.
You're saying you're God.
You're not.
We're going to kill you?
So it was all a huge plan, of course.
Okay, so even though we know that Jesus himself is the Son of God, the expression of God, right?
God embodiment, let's say.
Even Jesus did not claim the right to murder anybody he wanted in this world.
Although the Jews or the Zionists do claim that right.
So the Zionists, aren't they putting themselves above Jesus in terms of their power over man?
You think?
I mean, yeah.
I mean, you're spot on.
That's been the damage of Zionism.
And I'm only going to take it back maybe 300 years.
200 for sure.
You know, it's 1800s.
They started pulling in, you know, John Darby.
And John Darby basically said, hey, I got a new revelation.
Been hidden for 1800 years.
I got the ticket.
You know, who wants to buy a ticket?
And it was, there's going to be a secret gathering, and we're going to take you up.
The rapture.
Yeah, and I got it.
God just gave it to me.
Here it is.
Schofield picked up on that.
He studied, knew him.
He picked up on it, started formulating it.
Of course, that led to him being ushered off to Europe on somebody else's nickel, and eventually in Switzerland on someone else's nickel.
Came up with his commentary, his Schofield Bible, in like 18 months.
And other scholars have said, there's no way anyone can do a Bible translation 18 months.
Yeah.
And they said, actually, Schofield didn't like King James Version.
He liked the ESV. But they said, we need the one that everyone's going to be turning to.
Stick with the King James.
But within there, you could see his disdain.
Some verses he would say, it says this, but I'm telling you, this is what it means.
And he would change the meaning of it.
Wow.
Yeah.
There's so many places where he changed words like thee.
He would change it in the jot or tittle.
He would change it to plural instead of singular.
Oh, wow.
When God told Abraham, I'm going to bless you.
And I'll bless thee.
He changed it to plural so it had a group meaning now, so they could take it and extrapolate it and go, see, it's all of us.
Oh, that's a big change.
Oh, yeah.
He did a lot.
Okay.
Wow.
Okay.
Let me shift again and back up to mankind's rule of law question about all of this.
Back to the modern-day Zionists claiming the right to land and the right to resources and so on.
Rights above other men.
We, as a world, we don't accept the religious writings of any other culture, such as Native American Indians.
Let's say, if the Native American Indians came up with a lost scroll or something, and if that scroll said, we, the Native Americans...
This is our land.
God gave it to us.
Which, that's an argument that could actually be backed up.
They kind of do say that.
We were here first.
It's our land.
Yeah.
But isn't it interesting that there are no senators in the U.S. Congress that say, well, therefore, the Native Americans have the right to slaughter all other Americans and to take all the land, take back New York City, take back Florida, take back...
Tennessee, half the states are named after Native American names.
Half the rivers, I mean Mississippi, come on, right?
Wyoming, it's all named after Native American.
So why is it that in our culture, and my ancestry is part Native American actually, but I'm not making that argument.
I'm trying to point out the contradiction that there's only one group in the world that has given this right, and that is the Zionist group.
What about the Chinese?
What about the Mesoamericans?
What about the Hindus?
Don't they have their own writings?
Now, you and I would say, well, that's not the equivalent to the Bible, but in their culture, they say God told them that they have the right.
You know what I'm saying?
So what is this contradiction?
I don't know, because we rail against Islam because, well, they just want to kill the infidel, and that'll usher in Mohammed back.
What are we doing?
We're supporting Giving money, giving arms, giving training, giving technology to Israel, they're doing the same thing.
And Christians are thinking, well, the worse it gets, the closer it is, and the mothership comes and gets us.
I was talking with Harrison Smith the other day, and I said, you know, in the 90s, I was in Fort Worth, driving down the freeway, And Christian Radio, there was a gentleman named Baxter, Irving Baxter.
Okay.
And he was kind of an end times prophet.
Man, I was just blown away.
He said, you know, it's getting worse and worse, in a real gruff voice.
The worse it gets, the closer Jesus is to coming back, so bring it on!
Bring on the famine!
Bring on the Antichrist!
Let's get out of here!
I was like...
Are you kidding me?
Oh, yeah.
And that's what Zionism has done to make us impotent as believers.
Wait, stand back, let it all happen, because as soon as it happens, it's going to be painful.
And I don't understand, because supposedly they believe two-thirds of the Jews will be killed.
So wasn't it bad enough in World War II? So Christians are excited?
There's like 14 or 18 million Jews.
They're excited 10 million Jews are going to be slaughtered just so Jesus can come back?
Because that's supposedly part of the prophecies that have to be fulfilled in the future.
You guys are sick.
It seems like they believe that they can summon Jesus by accelerating these events.
To me, that seems demonic.
You don't summon Jesus.
Jesus comes on his own schedule.
But to think that Jesus is under the command of men, isn't that an antichrist belief itself?
Well, yeah, and to go back to your point about the American Indians, it kind of was their land.
And it could have been done nicer, I guess.
And you get both sides.
Well, they were scalping us.
Well, then we started scalping them, and then we killed the buffalo so they couldn't eat.
It's like, okay, let's just say it wasn't a good thing.
It happens in every continent where the strongest wins.
But, you know, we're just the white devils because we put them on a reservation, which is horrible.
We can't always judge the ancient past by today's moral framework.
But what's interesting about that, and I'm sorry to interrupt you, but what's interesting about that is that Israel is living in the moral past but applying it to the modern day.
So, you see what I'm saying?
Talk about what happened to the Native Americans.
That would never happen today like that, except in Israel.
Or with Israel attacking Gaza.
So what the colonists did to the Native Americans, that's exactly what Israel is doing, but with more bombs.
And I don't get...
It's like nobody asked the question.
Okay, when do you stop?
How much more do you want?
I've got a chart.
I've got four pictures of...
The Gaza Strip and Israel and, you know, Galilee.
And you can see it from 1940 until now.
Yeah.
It's almost, oh, they've pushed the Palestinians to one little spot on a map.
Right.
Can you, are you good now?
Have you had enough?
Oh, you want more?
It's like, why?
What is it?
You know, you think about how all the other, and this is how the media has portrayed it, and military, all the other countries hate Israel.
I kind of think I know why now.
Right.
Death to America.
I wonder why.
Because we're the big brother going, yeah, go ahead.
Here's more.
Here's more weapons.
We gave them a hydrogen bomb.
We didn't give any other country a hydrogen bomb, but it's to protect them.
Well, they're kind of causing this.
And to back up, I keep reminding the reader, this isn't...
Biblical Jews were talking about.
Right, that's a good point.
These are radical, Kazarian descendants who converted to Jerusalem.
So I'm not really talking about descendants of Abraham.
Those people, gosh, God love them.
Our first disciples were Jewish.
The first Holy Ghost meeting, Tent Revival, was Jewish.
All the first descendants were Jewish.
And they all converted to Christianity.
John Hagee thinks, They can just remain Jewish.
That's not what Jesus said.
Paul said, there is salvation in no one else other than Jesus Christ.
John Hagee says, oh yeah, there is.
They've already got a covenant.
Okay, well, who am I going to believe, John Hagee or Paul?
Well, but back to your original question, when do they stop?
Now, modern day Israeli soldiers, they wear these arm patches that show the map of greater Israel.
And as you are well aware, I think our listeners are aware, that includes parts of Egypt, parts of Syria, parts of Iraq, parts of Saudi Arabia, even all of Lebanon is gone under that map, right?
Parts of southern Turkey, and of course Jordan, don't forget Jordan.
If they fulfill that map, number one, they would have to murder millions of people in many countries that you would think at some point, like the Egyptians would say, wait a second, you know, Why are we letting Israel take all our land again and take over the Suez Canal, which is a big revenue source for Egypt and also a strategic, obviously.
But even if Israel conquered all that land and murdered millions of people, would they stop there?
No, of course not.
Why stop?
It would just be greater, greater Israel.
It would just be a bigger map.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The greater Israel, in fact, if I've got it here, I'll thumb through this in a minute, but it even deals with this greater Israel and the Old Testament.
There is a passage that the greater Israel that they're talking about, it says it right in Scripture.
And God gave them the outskirts and the outer lands and the Transjordan and the this.
It's like, mission accomplished.
He did it.
There's nothing left.
You know, the goal of the Zionists is, I call it, it's fake.
But it's, you know, so all the Jews can come back to Jerusalem.
Wait, they've had a state since 1948. Why isn't Jerusalem 100% full of 14 million Jews who have just been waiting to go back home?
They could have gone back home anytime.
The answer is, first of all, they're not biblical Jews.
Second, they kind of like where they live now.
Third, they don't really care about going back.
They don't want to reenact animal sacrifices.
They don't want to go back to the new moon celebrations and the three-yearly pilgrimages back to the temple.
They don't care if they ever build a temple because it's not their God.
Yahweh is not the biblical person they serve.
Most Jews are secular anyway.
All right, so let's go to another legal question about this or legal framework.
Which is that between the years 70 AD and 1948, to my knowledge, there were not millions of Jews staking out their claim to the land that was Gaza and Palestine.
And it's universally recognized in human law that if you abandon property for a period of time, you no longer own it.
If you don't...
If you occupy it, possess it, and control it, you no longer own it.
And there are squatting laws, and some of it's been abused, obviously, in the U.S. But if you buy a house somewhere, and then you never go there for a thousand years, and then you can't just one day come back and say, well, this is still mine more than a thousand years later, or almost 2,000 years later.
So isn't there that element in this where, okay, The UN grants Israel recognition in 1948, but Palestine isn't empty.
There are already people there who have lived there for centuries.
Generation after generation after generation, building infrastructure, orchards, olive orchards, farms, irrigation, homes, all of that, right?
Shouldn't that count for something?
And there's Africans living there, and there's Christians, and there's Muslims.
Exactly.
There's Asians.
I mean, in Israel, you've got like 17 different nationalities living there.
Are we supposed to get rid of them all?
Right.
It doesn't make any sense.
None of it makes sense.
And this law of return that they talk about, it's a law of return.
You have to have at least a Jewish mother.
According to one of the science reports in here from the professor at Tel Aviv University, he's found that 97% Of these Ashkenazi Jews come from Europe, the Caucasus, Caucasus, right?
They're Caucasian, Caucasian.
They're white, basically.
And their mothers are European.
So they don't even qualify for this law of return that they talk about.
So it's just, it's a hot mess.
Yeah.
And it started by, like you said, nobody was really begging for their land until the early...
1900s, the late 1800s, when you started getting the push from the Rothschilds.
Yeah.
And Theodore Herzl, who was instigating, and he's the one that got with Congress over there and had him draw up the Balfour Declaration, which was going to establish this.
And he even said, in 30 years, Israel will be a state.
How did he know that?
Yeah.
Because it was about 32 years later.
1948. The other interesting thing about the Schofield Bible, it actually came out in 1909, but Oxford, Oxford was kind of highly funded by the Rothschilds and the press that they owned.
1909, the first Schofield came out.
1917, when the Balfour Declaration was signed, I think it was 17, Oxford came out With a new Bible, a new version, because they own the copyright, not Schofield.
He gave that up.
So now they changed it when they signed the Balfour Declaration and changed verses and changed comments.
They changed it again in 1948. A new version's just come out of the Schofield Bible, reemphasizing that they own this, going through Joshua, going through Genesis 15. Wow.
Yeah.
And then they did it one more time.
During that period, 1967. What happened in 1967?
Seven-day war.
Again, they were using that as a marketing tool and a, what would you call it?
Yeah, an article to...
Propaganda for public support.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah.
So, let's now talk about the modern-day implications of this because this isn't just theory.
This is happening right now.
And I believe that the Noahide laws, Could pose a real danger to freedom of speech in America and to Christians in America.
And I'm curious about your thoughts on this, but we saw during the Free Palestine student protest last year, all of a sudden there was massive police action all across the college campuses.
When Black Lives Matter and Antifa were rioting, they didn't do anything.
They didn't lift a finger.
It was peaceful.
It was peaceful, man.
Right, right.
But as soon as Palestinian students, or even just Palestinian supporting students, said free Palestine, then the police were beating everybody to the ground, which I saw.
It happened here at Austin, and our governor of Texas was all over that.
It was like, wow, what's going on?
So these no-hide laws, and I've interviewed another guest on that, from what I understand, but again, please correct me if you have a different understanding, Trump seems to be on board with this.
Most of the Senate and Congress were all paid by what's the Israeli lobby called?
The lobbying group that gives all this money to Congress?
Yeah.
Their name will come up.
They pay all this money, so they're going to support these laws, and these laws would outlaw criticism of Israel and Zionism, including quoting Scripture.
Yeah.
So it seems like our lawmakers are willing to sacrifice the First Amendment to appease Zionism.
Yeah.
Have you seen that list?
I've seen it floating around several times of all the politicians that have dual citizenship in Israel.
Oh, yeah.
It's wild.
So it's not that they're just kind of going, well, okay, I'll do it.
No, they're behind it.
So that's troublesome to me.
I voted for Trump.
I voted for him the last time.
I think he's the best choice.
Well, I'm glad Trump won.
I mean, we couldn't live under the tyranny of Kamala or whatever.
But I wish he'd read the book.
I mean, I wish he would see that these aren't the biblical Jews we're talking about.
Not one of these people's ancestors were on the ark.
They didn't march through the desert.
They weren't hanging out in Jerusalem wondering where Yeshua was.
I need to get my foot broken.
It's not the same people.
They're imposters.
And again, I'm not talking about the couple that have five children or one child or they love their neighbors.
I want them as their neighbors.
Absolutely.
But we're not talking about the people that adhere to Jewish values.
Right.
We're talking about the political movement of Zionism, which Ronald Reagan was, Billy Graham was.
You got John Hagee.
It's just the list is full of people that we respect and go, wow, great leader.
But I think they bought into it, and they don't know any better.
And they've just accepted it.
They should know better.
They're adults.
They should.
But to your point, the average Christian should know better.
The average Christian should study enough Scripture that they understand what's going on, and they understand the biblical narrative.
That there once was a people that were God's people, and that he called him his bride.
And he used the marriage motif of marriage and adultery.
That was idolatry.
And he called it adultery.
He didn't really mean sleeping with somebody else.
It was idolatrous to God.
And then he said, now I'm bringing in true salvation.
I'm bringing in grace, and I'm doing away with the law.
So that was Jesus.
Now we've got a new thing happening.
We've got a new gig that we're playing, and it's the new covenant.
All Christians believe we have personal relationship with God.
That only happened when Christ brought the new covenant.
He restored what Adam lost in the garden.
Whether you think it was real or a metaphor, doesn't matter.
He still restored a relationship with God.
He fulfilled everything.
He said, I came to fulfill all the laws, all the prophecies of the prophets.
Did Jesus fail?
Oh no, He's going to fulfill more in the future.
Really, why does Scripture say He did fulfill all of them now?
You know, I mean, and you've got, well, actually John says in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
Well, there was only one person and the Word came and they rejected the Word and they killed Him.
Who are we talking about now?
You know, so understanding that narrative.
Of what the Bible's talking about.
And then the scary book of the Revelation.
Some people say Revelations.
It's not Revelations.
No, it's singular.
It's a revelation.
It's of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, hey, John.
And do you believe that's John the Apostle?
That that was given to him?
No, I don't.
Not now.
Because I've asked a lot of people that question.
I believe it was what they would call Lazarus.
His name in that culture was John Eleazar, Eleazar's Lazarus, but it's also a priestly title, which is probably the one that got to go in to the temple courts the night Jesus was there getting whipped, and he brought Peter with him.
That's the John that got in.
I see.
The one that he raised from the dead.
But it is a very detailed, meticulously recorded, long...
Revelation.
I mean, you could imagine it must have taken days to absorb that message, right?
Yeah, and the revelation, Jesus said, I'm going to show you the things which are about to happen.
He starts it in chapter 1 and he finishes it at the end.
And it's about to happen.
That's the word mellow in Greek.
About to.
Mellow means, you can look it up, it never meant more than a month or two.
We're about to go.
We're about to go, and they're going to take you and beat you.
So you put all that together, the revelation was not the revelation of the signs to look for at the end of the world.
It was the revelation of who Jesus Christ is, and that there's one more punishment to end this old covenant, and we're going to start the new one, and it's a spiritual kingdom.
If you can grasp that, or anyone watching, that makes the book.
A lot easier to understand.
That's interesting.
And here we are nearly 2,000 years later where a significant portion of the human population living today still hasn't accepted Christ or those teachings.
But let me broaden that out to a bigger question, which is that Christians, I hope that Christians believe that all human beings are children of God.
That God created all of us.
God created...
Everything.
The cosmos, the planet, and all human beings.
And that therefore, like you said up front, you and I don't have in our hearts any kind of hatred toward people who practice Judaism.
We have no such inherent hatred.
What we despise is human suffering, though.
We despise human suffering, and perhaps evil or deception, those kinds of things we despise, because we are values-oriented.
So, how do Christians today justify to themselves that Israel is murdering children of God, including many Christians in Gaza and Lebanon, but also, of course, Islam, followers of Islam being murdered, but aren't followers of Islam also, in essence, children of God?
Can we discuss that?
I'll address the Palestinians.
Okay.
That we see the most suffering coming from.
And they've been killing these people 70 years, 75 years now?
Yeah.
Or longer.
Right.
Some people say a thousand, but for what we can in our modern times.
And there is a high rate of Christianity among the Palestinians.
Yes.
And Christians will sit back because we're ignorant of Scripture.
We're ignorant of how we've been deceived by Zionism.
And these Rothschild, Ashkenaz, Kazarian, they're wicked.
They're bad news.
And we say, well, I don't really want to think about that Palestinians believe in the same Jesus I believe in.
People say that?
Well, I mean, that's what they're saying by their apathy.
I see.
To not make a stand and say, well, that's wrong.
Those are my brothers and sisters in Christ.
Right.
But we're allowing it because, well...
Jesus will come back and, well, they'll probably go to heaven anyway.
I'll see them later.
Wait a minute.
I don't get that.
You know, I don't get the logic.
Like you said, how do we let, how can we stand back and let the Zionists kill off Palestine or anyone in the region for a land grab?
Right.
How do we justify that as believers?
I think it's what you're saying.
Well, and also that there were Christian hospitals in Gaza, specifically Christian hospitals.
That were repeatedly bombed to murder the patients and hospital staff, healthcare workers, bombed by Israel.
And, you know, if you're a Christian and you can't support a hospital as being neutral ground, you don't believe in anything Christ taught, I don't think, really.
But that's how strong the chokehold is with if you cross Israel, you're crossing God.
Wow.
People are just, they're willing.
Our consumerist society, make me feel good, Joel Osteen.
I just want to hear a positive message.
I want to live my best life today.
Oh, don't make me feel bad.
I don't want to have to think about it.
So the church just became a Tony Robbins seminar.
Yeah, they're impotent.
The church is ignorant.
They're impotent.
It's sad.
Even our Christian seminaries, they're teaching critical theory.
They're teaching...
Women's rights.
I'm like, even the church...
Critical race theory?
Yes.
Even the church is segmenting and creating division amongst ourselves.
That's bonkers.
You know, there's a black women's study in one university, a Christian seminary, black women's study, and they talk about how well the white women have it while they're suffering, and it's like...
Can we stop this division?
That's the opposite of what Christ was all about, bringing us together.
There is no black, there is no white.
But that brings me back to the Islam question, and I'm really curious about how you see this, because even though followers of Islam don't believe in Christ the same way Christians do, they do at least recognize Christ as a prophet, which Jews do not, and that's interesting.
Wouldn't the proper, if I can say that, proper Christian interpretation be, well, followers of Islam are still children of God that just haven't seen the full light on who Christ is yet, or something like that?
How do you look at it?
They could say that.
I'll say I'm going to bow out with a verse where Jesus said, no one comes to the Father except through me.
That's all I can say.
People can stretch it and say, well, I feel bad if I don't include them.
No one comes to the Father except through Christ.
Well, I don't believe that.
Well, then fine.
Don't ask me.
If you don't believe it, we have nothing to discuss here.
So I go through that, I filter through that, and I leave it there.
That's all I can say about it.
But there's more to that verse.
There's something before that that's really relevant, and I forgot the words before it.
But maybe when we do this again, I'd love to have you...
And we can talk about that because I seem to recall that I felt like Christ was talking in a more broad picture about the presence of God across our planet.
And the reason I'm asking you this is, I've had guests here in studio who are followers of Islam.
And guess what?
They didn't try to kill me.
And they love their children.
They want to get along, and they love their family.
They love their neighbors.
The followers of Islam that I've met, just like followers of Judaism that I know, are also good people.
And I think most people are good people.
And I think you and I, we don't want fighting and wars.
We don't want murder and slaughter and suffering at all.
But why is it that Christians tolerate Zionists murdering Christians more than they tolerate Islam.
Yeah.
It's like something seems to be really off about the value system.
Well, there's nothing to gain tolerating Islam.
There's everything to gain tolerating the slaughter of the apple of God's eye.
Slaughtering others if it brings Jesus quick.
Get the mothership here.
Let's circle the wagons.
Hang on there.
Bring it on!
So it's like, well, let it happen.
It's in the Bible.
We can't change it anyway.
You don't want to be against God trying to stop God.
Again, it's that brainwashing that we've undergone for 100 years.
Well, so let's talk about the rapture then for a second, because I've also found that a lot of Christians use the rapture as an excuse to do nothing.
Yeah.
And even an excuse to not go on their own spiritual development journey, to say that all I have to do is profess belief in Christ as my Savior, and that's it.
I'm going to be saved.
I'm going to be taken out of here before I have to lift a finger.
And I think that's a really unhealthy spiritual attitude.
It is.
Yeah.
Please.
It's to say I just want to punch my ticket.
Yeah.
You know?
Why?
I mean, you just want to punch your ticket.
Jesus said, I'll paraphrase, I alone give eternal life.
And I give it to whoever the Father allows me to give it to.
You know, that's kind of a paraphrase.
So if Jesus gives eternal life, what do you get if you don't accept Him?
He's the one that gives us eternal life.
Belief.
Right?
Belief in Christ.
So, to say I just want to get...
Well, yeah, but for a Christian to say my only purpose in being here is to leave this place by accepting Christ, I think that skips over the reason why God grants us life and consciousness and free will in the first place.
I mean, didn't God put us here for something other than just to leave?
Like, what?
You know?
Isn't life itself...
Something that God gave us as a gift to experience and learn from.
Well, we are given a mandate.
We're not supposed to hide the light.
We're supposed to be a light to the world.
Now, some people interpret that, well, that's the Jews.
They're the light of the world.
I'm going, okay, let's work that out.
I mentioned it in here.
Jews don't evangelize.
I've even got quotes from the leaders.
They don't evangelize.
We don't.
They don't have an evangelist.
They don't go door to door.
They don't share the message.
When's the last time someone said, you know, I was reading a quote from a rabbi and it really gave me a lot of...
They're more closed.
They're more like a captured circle.
The guy said, this is why we don't evangelize.
If they want to come to us, fine.
Fill out a form that can be a Jew.
There's no reason for us to evangelize.
I'm like, well...
I keep going back to the filter I pour it through.
That's because you're not a biblical Jew.
Jesus called them to be a light on a hill and to spread the message.
They didn't do it.
That's why he took it away from them and said, I'm now going to give it to a people who are not a people, and you're going to be jealous of them.
They're going to be the new light of the world.
It's Christianity.
So as we talked about earlier, we started with Jesus and 12 Jews.
And within one day at Pentecost, it swelled to 3,000, and it went and built and built.
So the Jews started out, they got through the first century with maybe 100,000, 200,000 people.
And they've grown that to 14 to 18 million, whichever account you want to read.
Christianity started with 12 guys, and we've got a billion Catholics and 900 million Christians.
I'd say Christianity won out by just a little bit, right?
We'd be in the light of the world.
It's Christianity that feeds the nations.
We're the leaves of healing, it mentions in the Old Testament.
When there's a disaster, it's the Baptist men's group that's there building and sowing and cutting and feeding.
Our church donated hundreds of thousands of dollars of food to North Carolina.
It's always Christianity that shows up.
But from that, and I hope you don't mind me asking, but Western Europe, We see the Christian culture surrendering to an invasion of Islam migrants.
We see the burning of Christian cathedrals.
I mean, really ancient, multi-century, grand structures being burned.
And we see basically a suicide cult overlay on Christianity in Western Europe, where they're not willing to defend their principles, their religion, their nation, their language, their culture.
So, what's going on there?
One thing I did admire about the biblical Jews at the temple, they had this brigade called the Temple Guard.
And that was their duty.
Protect the temple.
They even understood, we got enemies out there.
And they kept all their gold in the temple, hidden, and they just had a temple guard.
Hey, you know, they had the temple courts, the outer court where the Gentiles could worship.
And there was a wall that ran all the way around that little...
About this high.
Rock wall.
They even had a sign that said, and I've got a copy of it here in the book, Gentiles, don't cross that wall.
You're asking, we're going to kill you.
If you want to die, cross that wall, that dividing wall.
Oh, wow.
And that's the wall that they could go ahead and worship God outside on the other side of that wall.
In the outer course.
The outer course, yeah.
That was the reason Jesus flipped all the tables.
Those market guys were setting their tables up and selling sacrificial in the outer courts where the Gentiles were coming to worship.
And Jesus was like, no, no, that's not going to happen.
Oh, really?
I thought he turned them over in the inner temple.
All through the temple.
All throughout the areas.
I thought it was about the money changers.
Well, yeah.
He said, you're not going to make it a marketplace.
Yeah, right, right.
So when Paul wrote that Jesus destroyed the dividing wall of hostility, it was twofold.
It was that when that temple fell, that wall was destroyed with it, which it's gone.
You know, the temple veil tore.
I mean, so many things happen with that.
And Paul's also saying that because Jesus created one man now, that dividing wall of hostility is gone.
We're all one in Christ.
Okay?
Zionism says...
Yeah, I don't think so.
We still want to be separate because it's working pretty well being separate and claiming to be biblical Jews.
We get land grabs.
Yeah, they're getting free billions from the U.S. all the time.
Yeah, and that's another interesting point is I've always heard over the years Jerusalem is like the second most technically advanced military in their weapon systems and their defense.
You know, they've got all this.
They get everything we discover.
We just hand it right over to them.
They can reproduce.
And you guys didn't see those Palestinians cutting that fence?
Right.
You didn't see them reaching.
You know, one of the women, an Israeli soldier said, you know, we know when a cat is getting too close to that fence.
No, October 7th was allowed to happen.
It's very clear.
Exactly.
To give a pretense for exactly what they're doing now.
They wanted to slaughter the police.
With that in mind, how technically advanced they are, y'all can't dial in those missiles and hit the bad guy's house or his headquarters?
You're just throwing them out there and they're just landing on hospitals?
And residential apartment buildings, refugee camps.
That's, to me, as a believer, if I were still, Into this Zionist section, I would think that would turn me.
I'd go, you're not trying too hard.
Well, and it is a lot of Jews, I would say more and more even Jews, but also Christians, are realizing that Israel's behavior does not reflect their values.
Right.
And Netanyahu is, in essence, putting Israel on a path of destruction.
And I think Netanyahu is...
He's greatly harming the brand of Israel.
He's destroyed Israel's tourism industry.
He's destroyed Israel's commerce because the ports are no longer really usable because of the Yemen militants.
So we get to rebuild that.
Yeah, right.
I'm sure more taxpayer money will be used there.
But the whole brand of Israel and Zionism and so on is really taking a lot of hits.
And that's why the West is turning to censorship to try to protect the brand.
Of Zionism, while Zionism is carrying out murder and genocide.
Censorship is the last resort of the despots, right?
Where they can't allow a discussion like the one we're having today.
And you know, our audience may or may not agree with everything that you've said or I've said, or you and I might disagree on points, but you're teaching me a lot today, by the way.
But that doesn't matter.
We have the right to talk about it, right?
Being labeled an anti-Semite just no longer works.
No.
I mean, I said in the book, look, calling me an anti-Semite is like calling me anti-dinosaur, anti-kiwi bird, anti-Bottom and Bailey Circus, anti-Curtis Mathis TV, dodo bird, anti-dodo bird.
Yeah, exactly.
They're gone.
They're gone.
How can I be anti if a thing doesn't even exist anymore?
That's right.
And the fact that the, I'm going to call them the posers or the imposters.
Not the Jewish family, but the leaders of Zionism.
The fact that they chose the wrong brother to say they descend from, there was no land grab promise to Japheth.
But they identify as Ashkenaz.
Then they'll say, well, Ashkenaz just really means Germany and that dispersion.
That's what Ashkenaz means.
No, no, no, no.
Words have meaning.
Rush taught me that.
You guys used the wrong word.
And then I think, why didn't they say we're Shemites?
Why did they say...
I mean, look it up.
Because they could have gotten away with it.
Every one of them.
Every prime minister is Ashkenazi descent.
Why did they choose that?
I thought, wait a second.
If they would have chose Semite, that would have brought them up through David and Jacob, Israel.
That's when Israel got its name.
When Jacob wrestled the angel for the count of three, I'm going to name you Israel now, good going.
They've chosen the brother over here to say we deserve it from him, but we still want those land-grant promises over there.
You didn't get those.
That's not even you.
Then the Ashkenazi Jews, I think we even published an article on this, there was scientific research about how there's so much quote inbreeding in that group.
That there has been an amplification of mental disorders in the genetic code that was quoted on one of these websites, like 23andMe, I don't know if it was that one, it was another one, that they were saying, yes, there's a higher tendency for a certain type of mental disorder.
And they said because of inbreeding.
And I was like, wow, clearly nobody there has scrubbed that yet because that would not be allowed to be stated online today with what's going on in Israel.
So if you even say that Ashkenazi Jews are inbreeding, you're called an anti-Semite immediately even though there's PubMed published scientific literature that studied that issue.
It was a genealogy research that was conducted in Tel Aviv.
But you're not...
You're not allowed to talk about that.
No, you're an anti-Semite.
Right?
But isn't it bizarre?
I mean, we can talk about how sickle cell anemia is more prominent in black populations.
We can talk about how alcoholism is more prominent in Native American populations.
But you can't say that...
That there's a genetic predisposition to certain mental health disorders backed up in the scientific literature among Ashkenazi Jews.
And along with that, and I do flow through, you know, I start off the book, besides the preface and all that, setting definitions.
What is a Semite?
What is a Jew?
You know, I go through that.
What is an Ashkenazi?
What's a Kazarian?
Just to get people to set it up, what are we understanding here?
I don't want to just jump into the middle of it, you know?
Yeah.
So, I also talk about how do Jews, and I'm talking about Jewish leadership.
Okay.
How do they, the rabbis that they've noted over the decades, how do they feel about America?
And it ain't pretty.
No, it's not.
I've got a quote from Netanyahu.
It's not nice.
I've seen the footage of Netanyahu saying America will do whatever we tell them to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, and they said, supposedly, when we get all we can, they can blow away.
That sounds like Netanyahu.
He saw Netanyahu made a comment about a 9-11.
He said, well, it's going to work in our favor now.
Well, of course.
Yeah, because they could blame it on Iraq, you know.
Well, and look at the so-called terror attacks that just happened, and then, oh, it happened to have an ISIS flag, and it's going to push Trump into a position where he's forced to wage more war against Israel's enemies in the Middle East.
I know, and we saw that, and you know how it's been the last, at least for Maria and I, it seemed like everybody, 2020, started waking us all up.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's like, if we happen to glance at something, even on Fox News, And they show pictures of something happening.
It's the opposite.
Yeah, very often.
Yeah, we've seen...
That's the case.
So, you know, we were talking about these kids that are on campuses.
Maybe they're just waking up.
Maybe they're saying, hey, we're not wanting you to...
We don't hate Jews, but what you're doing in the past is wrong.
Yeah.
Can we finally say it's wrong to do that?
Yeah.
But they're getting led to be...
Anti-Semites.
Let's pass some laws.
Let's stop this behavior.
Look what they're doing.
They're rioting on the...
I'm like, are they really rioting?
Because y'all have been lying to us about everything.
And there are provocateurs that are put into the groups.
Undercover feds or whatever.
Yeah, J6. To be the most radical person that's caught on video or whatever.
Or to instigate problems.
But look, let me give out your website again, tjsmithministries.com or.org.
.org, yeah.
And I'm also Instagram.
It's at tjsmithministries.
Okay, what about, do they allow you on YouTube?
I don't even know.
I do have some, I actually have some teachings on YouTube.
Okay.
If you type in TJ Smith, it's TJ Smith Voices.
Okay.
Because my channel was a lot of my performances, but I also have teaching videos.
Yeah.
And I go through the first seven chapters of the Revelation.
Yeah.
I haven't gotten the rest of them completed yet, but there are some teachings there.
And then there's also my WordPress blog.
Okay.
It's Victory Now 2020. Oh.
So there's a blog there.
You're going to have to update the year on that now, I think.
Well, you know, I did it like 2018, and I thought the 2020 is your vision.
I thought, well, it'll work good for the year 2020 as well.
I see, yes.
So, yeah, I hope we can get this figured out.
It may take another generation or two.
It might, yeah.
But if we can eradicate, and I go through there, the benefits.
Chapter 11. It's nothing but the benefits of getting rid of Zionism, how the world will benefit from it.
So I want to offer some hope and some real life end results of what we can do to get rid of it.
Well, wait, what do you mean when you say to get rid of Zionism?
If we can stop what we've been doing, supporting Israel simply because we've been duped into thinking they're God, the apple of God's eye.
You're not talking about like...
Exterminating Zionists.
No, no, no.
You're saying the philosophy of supremacy needs to go.
The control, the chokehold they have on our politicians.
Okay.
And the evangelical Christian church.
Right.
Yeah.
I just want to be clear.
You're talking about just the philosophy.
The philosophy.
And the control.
We need to stop that.
It needs to be left in the footnotes of history that this Zionism that started by the Rothschilds is finally over.
Well, and it's obsolete in our world.
It's a throwback to a terrible time in the history of humanity when you could just conquer your neighbors and kill them all and say, it's ours now.
I mean, come on.
It's 2025 now.
It is 2025. Okay, I appreciate your time, and I'm sorry I've kept you over a little bit, but I appreciate it.
Can I ask you, just to completely change the subject, can I ask you about your voice?
Do you call it voice performance, voice acting, impersonation?
It's like Rich Little.
Right.
Okay, I'm like Rich Little, but the majority of them are singing.
So you could sing in a Johnny Cash style?
Yeah, Johnny Cash.
Wow.
Roy Orbison.
Oh, wow.
I've got performing videos.
What about Neil Diamond?
I did Neil Diamond.
Neil Diamond was one of the good ones people enjoyed.
Willie Nelson, I do a great Willie Nelson.
Do you?
That's great.
The thing is, because I'm in Texas, guys that are from Texas, there's something about our voices, I guess, that I just can gravitate.
I did Waylon Jennings.
I did like 75 or 80 of them during the six years I was performing them.
So wait, you would perform songs in the voices of...
The other artists.
Yeah, so I would do like a tribute because I play guitar.
Okay.
That is so cool.
Yeah, if it was Stevie Ray Vaughan, I had a guitar look just like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I would dress up just like him and I would sing Pride and Joy.
Okay.
Sound like him, play the lead just like him, Little Wing, whatever.
Okay, so hold on a second here because I'm a musician.
Also, I've recorded and done a lot of music over the years.
And I have a...
I have a very distinct ear.
I can voice print people just by their voice alone.
Like if there's a commercial and it's a voiceover, I'm like, oh, that's Morgan Freeman.
Morgan Freeman's voice is very specific.
But I would love to hear, like you said, you did Willie Nelson, and Willie Nelson has a very unique type of tonality and everything.
Would it be impolite if I asked you to sing a little bit of a riff?
Oh, you put me on the spot?
Is that okay?
Do you have the guitar?
I don't have a guitar.
I'll do it.
Yeah, yeah.
If you had not have fallen, I would not have found you.
That is amazing.
Angel, fly too close to the ground.
So leave me if you need to.
I'll always remember.
That is great.
Angel.
Flying too close to the ground.
And the timing.
Yeah.
How he rushes and waits.
Yeah.
That is fantastic.
Yeah.
We do him.
And a lot of the...
I did a lot of presidents.
It's hard for me to do some of the presidents now, now that I'm a little more awake about...
I'm like...
Right.
But I still like Bill Clinton.
I bet you can do a good Bill Clinton.
I want you to listen.
And I want you to listen good.
I did not play saxophone with that woman.
That's good.
Isn't that right?
Hey!
Mike, it's good to be here with you.
I enjoy it.
You ought to come out to the ranch.
And you say, terror.
Terror.
Terror.
America.
We'll come out and hunt some white tail.
I asked Bill Clint to come shoot some white tail.
He's like, I love how your expression changes.
A lot of it is a lot of the facial.
If you can get those down, you know, and people have asked, what's the most important thing?
Well, it's like you exaggerate about 20% of what they do.
Ah.
You know, in order to hit the mile markers.
Yeah, and you can really put those.
Like George Bush, if you can get those eyebrows down and get the little thing on the mouth, you know, you're a...
I just want to say I'm glad to be here with the Health Ranger.
I keep my hands out here because I write down things I forget, like where I am, you know.
So Roy Orbison, I love doing Roy Orbison because, to be honest, I looked like him more than anybody else when I had the dark wig.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it was always a fun show to do.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, I did Carlos Santana.
You know, Black Magic Woman.
Oh, wow.
You know, so it was a fun gig.
But now Johnny Cash has a very deep...
Resonant voice.
Yeah, that was always a tough one.
That would seem difficult.
What played in my favor was I pretty well knew, you know, we would sell about 50,000 tickets a year.
So it was about a quarter of a million people that ended up running through there.
And I knew they hadn't been listening to Johnny Cash on the way.
Ah, okay, okay.
Love is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring.
You know, with Johnny again, it's those little things he would do, like if it was between a quick line, he would always turn his head to the side.
Love.
Is that right?
Yeah, and you do this little bit.
So you can exaggerate those facial features.
Now, do you dare touch Elvis?
I did Elvis.
I sure did.
Because I think you could do a great Elvis.
But he's the king of rock and roll.
People get all uptight about Elvis.
I know.
Yeah, but I did Elvis, and it was always a funny Elvis, and I've got the jumpsuit.
It was like the 1977 Elvis.
Oh, it had to be, man.
Yeah, you've got to have that white jumpsuit with the eagle cape.
Yeah, right, with the glitter.
So that was fun.
So it was always fun doing these people.
And I would do some of the more obscure that almost are outdated, that people may not remember.
But Jimmy Durante.
I don't even know who that is.
Exactly.
How about this?
Frosty the Snowman was a happy jelly show.
That was Jimmy Durante.
Was it?
Yeah, Jimmy Durante.
I mean, I've heard that rendition, but I didn't know.
Louis Armstrong.
I did him because a lot of people that came to these shows were from that generation.
Okay.
Even though I wasn't, you know.
Right.
But they all...
Hello, darling.
Yes, hello.
Darling, it's so nice to be back with you where you belong.
That is great.
My dog here is loving it too.
Oh, that is great.
Well, that's an amazing talent that you have there.
And I think also it's good cognitive practice to do voices and to hear voices.
Yeah.
To perform music, any of those things.
And Maria performed with me.
She did a lot of the...
We would do Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand.
Oh, wow.
We would do Sonny and Cher.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah, we would do really like the intro song for Family Affair.
I mean, yeah.
Archie and Bunker and Edith.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, so we would have the music played.
We would come out and we would sing the song together.
All in the family, wasn't it?
Yeah, and she would do Edith's voice, you know, which is just such...
Archie!
Archie!
Yeah.
So we would do that.
It was a comedy show.
We always wrapped up.
We were always very clean.
No blue humor or anything.
I would do Johnny Mathis.
People love Johnny Mathis.
Oh, that's great.
I did John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr.
I would have songs where all you need is love, Ringo Starr.
Every line was a different celebrity.
Yeah, you know, Dwight Yoakam.
Wow, that's something.
Jack Nicholson would be in there.
John Wayne would be in there.
Wow.
I did the 12 Days of Christmas every year, and you get up every day as a different celebrity.
So, yeah.
That's amazing.
It was fun.
Yeah.
It really was.
That's a lot of fun.
Well, thank you for all that you're doing.
Thank you for being here today, sharing this with us, and for putting up with my questions, which admittedly are pretty off the wall, but I'm a curious guy.
Yeah.
Like, I really...
I like to ask big-picture questions about this, but I'm also a value-centric person when it comes to humanity and the teachings of Christ and so on.
I think you'll agree with me that we want people to be able to live in peace together.
We don't want to see violence and suffering.
We want to help bring more people to Christ and to salvation.
And if we can do that, then we've lived a life worth living.
Yeah.
And we're supposed to be a light on the hill.
We've got to shine the light.
That's right.
Yeah.
That's right.
Well said.
Well, thank you, T.J. Smith.
It's been a pleasure.
Appreciate it, Mike.
We'll be back.
All right.
And the website, folks, is tjsmithministries.com or.org.
And check out his books, The Last Semite and what is this?
The Church and Homosexuality.
We didn't even get to talk about that.
We can do that next time.
Yeah, cover that next time.
And what other book is good?
The other one is called Kingdom Come.
And it is all of the parables of Jesus from the Gospel of Mark, where he says, the kingdom of God is like, and he lays it out.
Like mustard seeds and all these other things?
Yeah, yeah.
So I go through, there's only like nine from the Gospel of Mark.
So I go through and explain those in a fulfilled sense of how they were fulfilled.
Oh, interesting.
So yeah, it's interesting.
That's cool.
And then I've got...
Six volumes of Understanding the Bible for the Average Christian.
That's what it's called.
Volume 1 through 6. That's great.
And I might take a word or a concept or a story and just kind of break it down for people and say, here's what that meant.
Very cool.
Yeah, and it's just some rules for interpretation.
They call it hermeneutics.
It's the science of interpretation, which can be used for studying sickness.
It doesn't matter.
Aeronautics.
Everything has rules.
You do it.
When you're developing things for nutrition, there's a scientific way that you approach everything and you break it down.
And you say, if I follow these rules and I'll apply this principle, then I should come out with this result.
Well, that's what we have to do with Scripture, too.
And there's a process.
So hermeneutics is used throughout the world.
Aerospace engineering.
Anything to do with...
Something that needs to be understood and broke down.
And it's just not willy-nilly.
We have, what, 30,000 denominations in Christianity.
Do we?
Yeah.
And a lot of it's because someone didn't like the color of the carpet.
They wanted the pews back.
The music's too loud.
It's not loud enough.
I want the pastor to wear a robe and not a suit.
He wore his sister, you know, girl pants, jeans, torn.
I don't like that.
So we have a lot of division in the church, but a lot of it's because we don't know how to properly divide Scripture and understand it.
Interesting.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, we have plenty to talk about next time.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, thank you then.
God bless you, and we really appreciate your time today, and thank all of you for watching today.
You can find the, well, more interviews at brighttown.com, but I think also this interview, by the way, we're going to do English.
Captioning of the entire interview.
We're doing that now this year for the first time.
That's awesome.
So people will be able to read it.
So if you are listening and you know somebody who is hearing impaired, you can recommend this video.
They can read along with the captions.
We're going to be doing that.
So thank you all for watching today.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com.
And God bless you all.
Take care.
Mike Adams here, and I want to share a little nutritional secret with you.
So you know I drink these smoothies every day.
I make these out of avocados and bananas and whey protein.
I put some other powders in them as well.
I put a little black cumin seed oil in there and some vitamin D drops and things like that.
But what I've added today into my smoothie, because we now have it available in our store, is called Golden Milk.
I know it's kind of a funny name, but it's orange.
It's golden orange colored because it's got a lot of turmeric in it.
But let me show you this.
I've got it on my desk here.
There it is in the canisters there on the right and left-hand side.
Golden Milk Powder Canisters.
Of course, it's certified organic and laboratory tested, but if you show my screen, I want to walk you through some of the ingredients.
This is incredibly delicious.
It's great for the fall season here, too.
But it's made with organic coconut milk powder and then organic date sugar, which is a low-glycemic natural sweetener.
And then the functional herbs are, you've got curcumin, which is an extract from turmeric.
You've got organic turmeric root powder, organic ginger root powder for that spice, that fall spice.
Ashwagandha powder, which is an adaptogen that's really potent, and then cinnamon powder gives it that just delicious flavor.
Cinnamon, by the way, is used a lot in traditional Chinese medicine, and it has its own health properties.
All this together is called organic golden milk superfood.
You can take the powder and you can blend it into water, or you can blend it like I did with avocados and bananas.
You can blend it with cashews.
To make like a cashew milk, like a superfood fall eggnog nutrition drink.
You know, there's no eggs in it, and it's not all sugared up like typical eggnog.
It's way better than eggnog.
But it's great for the fall season.
Or you can use almond milk or any other kind of milk, or raw cow's milk, whatever you have, fresh milk off the farm.
Mix this with it, and you will have a superfood extravaganza.
That it has so many functional benefits, it's too many to even name.
Now, in addition to that, here's what else we have available at the Health Ranger store.
I just mentioned ashwagandha.
We have an ashwagandha liquid extract available right now, too.
Here it is.
It's organic liquid extract, two fluid ounces.
This is a super high-end extract that's extracted with a combination of alcohol, water, and glycerin.
And as a result, because of those three different, quote, solvents or, you know, carriers, you actually extract more of the nutrients from the ashwagandha root than just using one of those.
So this is available now, and it's really fantastic.
And if you show my desk, I want to mention a couple other things.
We have astaxanthin, Hawaiian astaxanthin, now back in stock for the first time in a long time.
That is a fat-soluble carotenoid that has extraordinary properties.
If you haven't yet tried astaxanthin and just observe what it can help with in terms of your mobility and joints and cognitive protective support, things like that, try astaxanthin.
I think you'll be really amazed at what it can do for you.
In addition, we have the Boku Superfood formulation now in stock for the first time.
This organic superfood is the...
Well, it's based on the original Boku formulation, but it's been upgraded, enhanced with our sourcing, our laboratory testing, and the result is now the combination Boku Superfood, Health Ranger Store, combo formulation and lab testing product, available for the first time, plant-based, high-density nutrition, ready to blend into water or milk or anything like that.
It's available for the first time at our store.
And then finally, if you go back to my desk, yeah, we've got ginger latte powder, which is, you know, more of a sort of coffee-themed drink there that's also quite delicious.
And then we also have there in the brown label the organic freeze-dried crunchy munchies, banana, apple, cinnamon.
And these are fruit and herb purees that are freeze-dried into little snack chunks.
And they're called crunchy munchies.
They're fun to eat.
Kids love them too.
And the ingredients are just incredibly clean and nutritious.
We also have banana strawberry flavor available in the crunchy munchies as well.
So a great snack, a great travel food.
All of this and much more is available now at healthrangerstore.com.
And also don't want to forget iodine because everybody's freaking out about the risk of nuclear war right now.
And sure enough, we've got nascent iodine available at the store.
This is the cap version because the caps last much longer than the droppers, but you can also buy this with a dropper in it, or you can get bulk deals with this.
You can buy, like, six bottles with caps right here, a six-pack.
And this stuff is going to just disappear off the shelves the minute, you know, let's pray it doesn't happen, but the minute war escalates even more between Russia and Ukraine, especially if somebody starts launching nukes or even if Israel starts launching nukes, which could happen on any given day, it seems.
But you won't be able to find nascent iodine on the shelves.
So get it now while you can.
And when it's relatively affordable and available, we've got it right now.
We're shipping right now out of our warehouse in central Texas.
So thank you for all your support.
