=== Imperfect Allies in War (02:45) ===

[00:00:00]  And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you.
[00:00:10]  Ask what you can do for your country.
[00:00:28]  In the American Revolution, the Patriots were not looking for perfect allies.
[00:00:32]  They were Protestant Republicans fighting for independence against the British Empire.
[00:00:37]  And yet, when the war demanded it, they benefited from the help of Spain, a Catholic monarchy with its own empire, its own ambitions, and no deep ideological commitment to American liberty.
[00:00:52]  Spain did not enter the war because, in its heart of hearts, it believed in Jeffersonian democracy.
[00:00:59]  Spain did not fight Britain because it wanted to build a Protestant republic across the Atlantic.
[00:01:05]  No, Spain entered the war because Britain was its enemy, too.
[00:01:10]  And for that moment, that was enough.
[00:01:14]  Spanish forces attacked British positions across the Gulf Coast, West Florida, the Caribbean, and the southern flank of the empire.
[00:01:23]  Spain sent supplies.
[00:01:24]  Spain provided money.
[00:01:26]  Spain applied pressure.
[00:01:28]  Spain forced Britain to divide its attention.
[00:01:32]  Stretching its military resources to fight a wider war than Britain wanted to fight.
[00:01:39]  America did not become Spanish as a result.
[00:01:42]  America did not become a Catholic monarchy.
[00:01:45]  The founders did not surrender their principles because Spain had helped to weaken Britain.
[00:01:51]  They used the opening.
[00:01:53]  And here is the part that matters America and Spain did not remain permanent friends.
[00:02:00]  After the revolution, They bickered again.
[00:02:03]  They clashed over borders, trade, navigation rights on the Mississippi River, Florida, and the future of the continent.
[00:02:12]  Spain did not need to love American liberty in order to weaken Britain.
[00:02:17]  And the Americans did not need to love Spain to accept help against the empire that was actively trying to crush them at the time.
[00:02:27]  They understood a hierarchy of threats.
[00:02:30]  They knew that Britain was the enemy in front of them.
[00:02:34]  In the moment, occupying their land, taxing their people, and trying to break the rebellion.
[00:02:40]  So, when Spain weakened Britain, the patriots took that advantage.

=== Hierarchy of Threats (07:46) ===

[00:02:45]  Tune in now.
[00:02:48]  Radical Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbin.
[00:02:52]  Joel Webbin.
[00:02:54]  Joel Webbin is an excellent.
[00:03:16]  Today, we're going to be talking about politics.
[00:03:18]  Christians need to be able to think politically, and we don't.
[00:03:23]  I think that Christians, not all Christians, but I think evangelical Christians would be an example of those who are doing a pretty good job thinking morally.
[00:03:33]  Evangelicals are bad when it comes to one premier issue, and it's a big one, and that is the issue of Zionism.
[00:03:40]  But you go down the chart on everything else abortion, evangelicals in America versus Catholics, evangelicals protect the life of the unborn.
[00:03:50]  Catholics don't.
[00:03:52]  They don't.
[00:03:52]  A subset of them do.
[00:03:53]  They pray outside of abortion clinics, and we're grateful for that.
[00:03:56]  But talking about political statistics here in America, it's not even close.
[00:04:03]  Voting against same sex marriage for traditional family, it's evangelicals by a landslide, much more than mainline Protestants, much more than Catholics, much more than the black church or anybody else.
[00:04:17]  So, evangelicals are good, and you might say they're good politically.
[00:04:21]  No, they're good morally.
[00:04:24]  And we praise God for that.
[00:04:25]  We praise God for a good moral compass.
[00:04:29]  Now, they're not good, again, on one big issue that tends to kind of fuel all these other issues, right?
[00:04:36]  I hate abortion, but I love Israel.
[00:04:41]  Well, just go and look at abortion and some of the politicians that push it.
[00:04:46]  I want to stop immigration, but America needs to ally with Israel.
[00:04:50]  Okay, well, let's look at the Hartzeller Act.
[00:04:52]  And immigration policies that have given us a flood of third world.
[00:04:56]  So, I admit, I'll be the first to admit, and we've done this several times, we wrote a whole book about it.
[00:05:01]  Evangelicals are foolish and ignorant when it comes to the source, or at least one of the dominant sources of all these different problems.
[00:05:11]  But the problems themselves, morally speaking, evangelicals are the lone bulwark that's holding back the tide, holding back the tsunami of moral insanity here in the U.S. United States.
[00:05:26]  There is a good moral impulse, but many Christians do not have an informed, strategic, political impulse.
[00:05:36]  We live in America.
[00:05:37]  It is what it is.
[00:05:39]  For the last 50 years, we have been choosing the lesser of two evils.
[00:05:44]  There are two parties.
[00:05:46]  It is a two party system.
[00:05:48]  I know that it's fun to pretend and dress up like Peter Pan and say, we're going to start the third party and it's going to be this or it's going to be that and it's going to be a landslide.
[00:05:58]  No.
[00:06:00]  Restore Britain, England has a different political system that can work there.
[00:06:04]  They have multiple parties.
[00:06:06]  That's not what we have here in America.
[00:06:09]  So we are going to have to hijack, train, and disciple one of the two parties.
[00:06:16]  And that's probably going to require that we don't allow whichever party we think has the most potential of actually doing good for America.
[00:06:28]  It's probably not going to be incentivizing for them if we continue.
[00:06:32]  To assure them you will have our vote no matter what.
[00:06:36]  So long as you just say, you know what?
[00:06:38]  The Democrats are going to murder a million babies.
[00:06:41]  We promise to murder 999,000.
[00:06:44]  You know what?
[00:06:45]  The Democrats are going to give you infinity immigration.
[00:06:49]  We promise that we'll just give you infinity immigration instead of from every third world hellhole.
[00:06:55]  We won't do it from Somalia or Haiti.
[00:06:58]  We'll just do it from 1.4 billion people in India.
[00:07:02]  Right?
[00:07:02]  If that's the dichotomy that we currently have, and it seems as though it is the dichotomy, then at a certain point, we're going to have to say no.
[00:07:13]  No.
[00:07:14]  We're going to have to punish the GOP.
[00:07:17]  We're going to have to find a way in order to play politics.
[00:07:21]  Again, there's a lot of Christians, especially evangelical Christians, that are good morally, but we are retarded politically.
[00:07:31]  We don't have clear political.
[00:07:33]  Strategy.
[00:07:34]  That's what we want to talk about in today's episode.
[00:07:36]  We're going to relate it to 2026 and the midterms and some of the state elections that are going on right now.
[00:07:44]  How do we need to think strategically?
[00:07:46]  Well, the two parties are also in this time where a realignment is going to happen.
[00:07:51]  If you remember back in your grandparents' day, the Democrat Party was actually the party of the worker.
[00:07:56]  They were the New Deal Party, they were the Labor Union Party, they were the Worker Protections Party.
[00:08:00]  And so for a long time, Democrats were seen as the blue collar workers' party that protected the every man.
[00:08:05]  Now, in 2016, Donald Trump comes along and he realigns the party, not fundamentally along those moral axes, your abortion, your gay marriage, and all of those things, but he realigned by appealing to the passed over American worker, the American worker that no longer had a job because his work was sent to Mexico when they offshored manufacturing.
[00:08:22]  And so the Republican Party in 2016, he marched to victory largely through those Midwestern states carried along by the working class worker.
[00:08:30]  And the Democrats actually became the party of the college educated liberal, the coastal elites.
[00:08:35]  Now we're facing that same type of thing.
[00:08:38]  After 12 years of Trump haunting the primaries, haunting the general election, being on the ballot in one way or another, we're going to see for the first time in 2028, America after Trump.
[00:08:49]  We're going to see what types of voters the Democrats will aim to appeal to.
[00:08:53]  They have their own problem with their radicals and the radical sexual left, the radical LGBTQ, the radicals on immigration.
[00:08:59]  So they have to figure out a way to sequester those and who they're going to make their broad appeal to.
[00:09:03]  But the Republican Party has the same thing.
[00:09:05]  Are they going to be the party of the working class and are they going to be the party of the older voter?
[00:09:10]  That's the big thing.
[00:09:11]  You have this older voting bloc, the moral majority from the 80s that has helped them cruise along to all of these electoral victories, whether it was George Bush and a remnant of them in 2016 and 2024 when they won.
[00:09:23]  But they're rapidly passing away.
[00:09:24]  So if they're smart, they need to be thinking about how do I appeal to the younger voters?
[00:09:29]  How do I get younger people energized and involved?
[00:09:31]  James Fishback is a great example of this, someone who's carrying forward the torch for the next generation.
[00:09:36]  But if you look at his platform and the platform of another Republican, caucusing with the same party running for the governor of a red state James Fishback in Florida, Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio even though they're both underneath the same banner, they have very very, very different visions of what they're putting forward.
[00:09:53]  James Fishback wants to reform and eliminate the H 1b work visa program.
[00:09:58]  He says too many individuals from overseas, even though it's happening legally, are coming here.
[00:10:02]  They're not only taking jobs, they're taking positions in colleges that should belong to students who grew up and call Florida their home.
[00:10:09]  He wants to be explicitly Christian in the public square.
[00:10:13]  Christ overall.
[00:10:14]  We're taking the abortion mills that are in the state.
[00:10:16]  We're burning them to the ground, every single one of them.
[00:10:19]  We're putting up crisis pregnancy centers there.
[00:10:21]  We're going to take OnlyFans or we're going to tax the models who do it at 50%.
[00:10:25]  We're also, he called it the SimTax.
[00:10:27]  He says, if I get elected governor, I'm taxing the men who consume OnlyFans also at 50%.

=== Reforming the H-1B Visa (03:25) ===

[00:10:32]  We'll see how that actually plays out.
[00:10:33]  But you get the idea, the type of vision he's putting forward.
[00:10:36]  It's muscular.
[00:10:38]  It's Christian.
[00:10:38]  It's aimed at protecting the people of Florida.
[00:10:41]  It's aimed at saying we have all this money.
[00:10:43]  We have hundreds of millions of dollars in bonds in Israel.
[00:10:46]  That doesn't belong there.
[00:10:46]  That's coming back home to help families start, help young couples start a family.
[00:10:51]  That's coming home to help young couples afford a home.
[00:10:54]  Florida colleges are for Florida students.
[00:10:56]  It's Christian, it's pro Florida, pro America.
[00:10:59]  But on the other hand, you have Vivek Ramaswamy.
[00:11:02]  He himself is explicitly not a Christian.
[00:11:04]  Now, in name, he said, Oh, I want to have some type of reforms to the work visa program.
[00:11:09]  But I mean, that's kind of like the ant saying, Oh, yeah, we think these anthills in Wes's backyard are getting overrun.
[00:11:15]  We'll definitely look into a solution for that.
[00:11:17]  Or Benjamin Netanyahu saying, We want to get off U.S. aid in seven years.
[00:11:21]  Yeah, right.
[00:11:21]  Okay, we'll believe it when we see it.
[00:11:23]  Indians are notoriously in group preference, they notoriously bring in family.
[00:11:29]  So, on the other hand, you have Vivek Ramaswamy championing.
[00:11:32]  What does he call it?
[00:11:33]  Moral monotheism.
[00:11:34]  He's not a Christian.
[00:11:35]  He believes in a pantheon of gods.
[00:11:37]  He wants to bring in big manufacturers such as Anderol, which is drone manufacturing.
[00:11:41]  He's a Hindu.
[00:11:42]  He's a Hindu.
[00:11:43]  He's beholden to the Les Wexners of Ohio.
[00:11:46]  This is, I mean, it's said that nothing happens in Ohio politics that Les Wexner does not understand.
[00:11:50]  It's also worth noting, like, people, they don't understand this.
[00:11:54]  Like, on X, I'll post about this, and people are like, you're a racist, you know, and like, what are you talking about?
[00:12:00]  Vivek is an anchor baby.
[00:12:03]  He is an anchor baby.
[00:12:04]  People are like, he was born in Ohio.
[00:12:06]  Yeah, barely.
[00:12:08]  Barely.
[00:12:09]  Like, literally barely by a matter of days.

[00:13:43]  Yeah, his parents got there to Ohio.
[00:13:47]  It's been, I don't know, however old he is, 40 years now.
[00:13:50]  I think so.
[00:13:51]  His dad has still not become a citizen.
[00:13:55]  Living here, yes, but has not become a citizen.
[00:13:57]  Why?

=== Cash Back for Scents (05:39) ===

[00:13:58]  Because it's not that important.
[00:14:00]  Because America doesn't mean crap to the Ramaswamis of the world.
[00:14:05]  They don't care.
[00:14:06]  He doesn't care.
[00:14:07]  He's an anchor baby who got here with his rich parents who became rich through scamming.
[00:14:14]  Westerners, white boomers, saying, We've got a miracle drug that's going to cure Alzheimer's and do this and do that.
[00:14:22]  And it was a pump and dump scheme where they took the money, then that money, billions, has been used.
[00:14:29]  Vivek, you need to remember this also.
[00:14:31]  He's a billionaire, a billionaire who has made his money scamming Americans.
[00:14:36]  Not only are Indians notorious for an in group preference, and to be fair, I wish that all people were known for an in group preference because it's actually a commandment from God.
[00:14:48]  If any man doesn't care for the members of his own household, his own family, he is worse than an infidel.
[00:14:55]  He is worse than an unbeliever and has denied the faith, the auto amoris.
[00:15:00]  There is a triage.
[00:15:02]  There is a prioritization of loves, right?
[00:15:06]  We want to love everyone, but we can't love everyone equally, right?
[00:15:11]  Because love, real Christian love, is in practice, not just in word, but in deed.
[00:15:17]  I love my children by clothing them, feeding them, sheltering them.
[00:15:22]  And I cannot do that for 8 billion people, which most of them live in India.
[00:15:28]  I can't do that for everyone.
[00:15:30]  Why?
[00:15:30]  Because I'm hateful.
[00:15:32]  No, because I'm finite.
[00:15:34]  Why?
[00:15:34]  Because I'm fallen?
[00:15:35]  No, it's not my fallenness, it's my finitude.
[00:15:38]  It's not being cruel, it's being a creature.
[00:15:42]  I'm not the creator.
[00:15:44]  So, all that being said, we have to prioritize.
[00:15:47]  Now, Indians are known for actually prioritizing their own.
[00:15:50]  I'm actually fine with that.
[00:15:52]  I don't think that that's a moral character flaw.
[00:15:55]  I think it's good and right that Indians actually love their own people, whereas white people don't.
[00:16:02]  White people are wicked in that regard.
[00:16:06]  You need to hear that.
[00:16:07]  You don't love your own people.
[00:16:09]  You sell away your children's future for foreigners, for an extra cruise, for a little bit of the GDP must go up.
[00:16:19]  That's actually evil.
[00:16:21]  So I'm not even picking on Indians in this regard.
[00:16:24]  Indians are more moral than the average Westerner in the 21st century.
[00:16:30]  Westerners were not always this way.
[00:16:32]  But modern Westerners, modern white people in America, in Europe, on this issue, Are far more wicked, far more immoral than Indians.
[00:16:44]  But here's the deal not only do Indians prioritize their own, which I'm not saying is a bad thing, I think is a good thing, but they also tend to be known for scamming, for deceit.
[00:16:57]  The Ramaswamis aren't just prioritizing their own, right?
[00:17:01]  You can't fault them for that.
[00:17:02]  That's a good trait.
[00:17:04]  I wish we had it.
[00:17:06]  But in addition to it, they want to prioritize their own, but in your house, exactly, in your living room.
[00:17:14]  In your home, in your neighborhood, in your town, in your country.
[00:17:19]  That's where they want to prioritize their own.
[00:17:21]  And that's where the problem comes in.
[00:17:23]  And they're not just notorious for prioritizing their own, but they want to prioritize their own in your home through scams.
[00:17:32]  They lie.
[00:17:33]  They are known for both of those things.
[00:17:36]  White people, we're known for things.
[00:17:38]  Modern white people, it wasn't always this way.
[00:17:40]  But today, 21st century, for a while, for decades now, it's kind of this way.
[00:17:45]  White people, what are we known for?
[00:17:47]  We're known for hating our children, aborting them, or if they do live, shipping them off to public school so that mom can go, work a second income so that we can have more, having a bumper sticker on our car that says, I'm spending my grandkids' inheritance.
[00:18:05]  How wicked!
[00:18:06]  How wicked.
[00:18:07]  So we're known for selfishness, hating our own, gullibility.
[00:18:13]  We're known for being overly trusting, compassionate to the foreigner, cruel to our own posterity.
[00:18:19]  Right?
[00:18:20]  Everybody has besetting scents.
[00:18:22]  All right?
[00:18:22]  There's some of the white people's scents.
[00:18:24]  Okay?
[00:18:24]  Here's some of the Indian scents scamming the heck out of white people.
[00:18:30]  Does that mean every single Indian person does that?
[00:18:32]  No.
[00:18:33]  But I'm speaking in generalities.
[00:18:35]  I'm saying that there is a heightened propensity, a heightened bent for the Indian person, the Indian culture, the Indian country to scam Westerners rather than working hard and making their own money.
[00:18:54]  A pump and dump scheme with a miracle drug that makes us billionaires but puts a massive dent in all these white people's 401ks, all these boomers.
[00:19:05]  And then.
[00:19:06]  Hey, you know, we'll mitigate immigration and we'll be cool.
[00:19:10]  No, we won't.
[00:19:12]  Vivek gets an office and he will bring in infinity Indians who will also set up scams to rob white people of their home, their country, their place, their wealth, their children's future.
[00:19:28]  Not only that, here's another thing.
[00:19:29]  I remember saying this all the way back, feels like a lifetime ago in 2024, right, when Vivek was just starting to take the stage.

=== Sacrificing Elections to Win (14:55) ===

[00:19:38]  And people were still a little bit unsure about Trump, whether or not he could win, whether or not he should win.
[00:19:44]  And there was a bunch of people on the Ron DeSantis train, but I like Ron DeSantis, but he didn't have a lot of charisma.
[00:19:50]  And so there were some critiques there.
[00:19:52]  Well, another shining potential candidate that a lot of people were excited about was Vivek.
[00:19:56]  And I said it then, and I'll say it now.
[00:19:59]  I feel even stronger today.
[00:20:01]  But praise God, I at least had the discernment to recognize it then and say it then.
[00:20:05]  I said, you can't vote for Vivek.
[00:20:07]  I don't care.
[00:20:08]  How good of a speaker he is.
[00:20:10]  I don't care how good his rhetoric is.
[00:20:12]  I don't care how conservative he sounds.
[00:20:14]  You can't vote for Vivek.
[00:20:16]  Why?
[00:20:17]  Because it opens Pandora's box.
[00:20:20]  In these United States, we have only ever had a male Christian president.
[00:20:27]  Well, Joel, that's ridiculous.
[00:20:29]  You think Trump is a Christian?
[00:20:30]  No, I think Trump's going to hell.
[00:20:32]  I do not believe that he's regenerate.
[00:20:34]  You believe Biden's a Christian?
[00:20:35]  No, I believe that Biden is going to hell.
[00:20:38]  I do not believe he's regenerate.
[00:20:40]  But it means something.
[00:20:41]  Here's the deal.
[00:20:42]  This is what evangelicals don't get.
[00:20:44]  They don't understand strategy.
[00:20:45]  They don't understand politics.
[00:20:46]  They get morals.
[00:20:48]  They understand the heart, and that matters immensely.
[00:20:51]  Evangelicals are notorious for, I'm coming back to the heart of worship.
[00:20:56]  It's all about the heart.
[00:20:57]  It's all about the fields.
[00:20:58]  It's about being authentic.
[00:20:59]  It's about being genuine.
[00:21:00]  And here's the deal when we're talking about eternal matters, we're talking about heaven and hell, we're talking about salvation, you're right.
[00:21:07]  In your heart, from the heart, you need to have a genuine love for Jesus Christ in the category of salvation.
[00:21:13]  Amen.
[00:21:14]  But.
[00:21:16]  The forms, formality, pretense, that actually matters in other arenas of life.
[00:21:21]  We're not talking about individual salvation right now.
[00:21:24]  We're talking about the president of a nation, one of the most powerful nations on the planet.
[00:21:29]  It matters that every president we've ever had, not that they truly are Christian, but they all at least had to pay credence.
[00:21:37]  They all had to tip the hat.
[00:21:39]  They all, in their rhetoric, had to be a true regenerate Christian.
[00:21:43]  No, but they all had to at least profess it.
[00:21:47]  Do you really want to open Pandora's box?
[00:21:49]  Because it won't be a one time scenario.
[00:21:52]  You get someone like Vivek, and this is what I was arguing two years ago during the presidential election.
[00:21:56]  I was like, you get Vivek, you've just opened the door for Hindus, for an Indian scammer Hindu.
[00:22:05]  And at that point on, it's a whole new ballgame.
[00:22:08]  No one has to tip the hat to the Christian faith, no one has to placate to Christians in America.
[00:22:17]  You should have to placate to Christians in America if you want to be a leader in America.
[00:22:22]  Right?
[00:22:22]  This would change everything.
[00:22:24]  Same thing with a woman president.
[00:22:25]  I said it back with Hillary.
[00:22:26]  I was like, look, Trump is way better than Hillary on all the moral issues.
[00:22:30]  But even if he wasn't, if Trump was slightly worse than Hillary on some big moral issues, simply by virtue of him being a man, he would have my vote.
[00:22:41]  Why?
[00:22:42]  Because again, it would be Pandora's box.
[00:22:44]  It would be the first woman precedent, setting a new precedent for all of time that, in terms of laws of average, maybe the first woman, maybe they're exceptional.
[00:22:56]  But now we have.
[00:22:58]  We're going to have women presidents for the next 250 years because we opened the door.
[00:23:04]  We're going to have not just one of them, but dozens of them.
[00:23:07]  And on average, the dozens of female presidents versus the dozens of male presidents, those female presidents will be objectively worse.
[00:23:16]  Those Hindu presidents will be objectively worse.
[00:23:20]  So, all that back to Vivek not only will he scam Ohioans, not only will he flood them with H 1B visas.
[00:23:29]  Rob them of their inheritance and their wealth.
[00:23:31]  But if he becomes the president, the governor of Ohio, you have solidified Vivek's political career for the rest of his life in America.
[00:23:43]  He's not going away.
[00:23:45]  Exactly.
[00:23:45]  This is the chance to say, no, never, ever go back home.
[00:23:52]  Get out of our country.
[00:23:54]  You were born in America, sure, by days.
[00:23:58]  Your dad hates our country.
[00:24:00]  Never took the time to become a citizen.
[00:24:02]  You're an anchor baby.
[00:24:04]  Your family built their wealth by robbing white people with miracle drugs that you knew were not going to be viable.
[00:24:12]  You became a billionaire.
[00:24:14]  You paid your way onto every podcast.
[00:24:16]  You've been lying.
[00:24:17]  You've been deceiving.
[00:24:19]  And this is not American.
[00:24:21]  You are not American.
[00:24:22]  You are a Hindu.
[00:24:23]  You are a polytheist.
[00:24:25]  You are a false idol worshiper.
[00:24:28]  Go home.
[00:24:30]  Get out of our country.
[00:24:31]  I don't care about you quoting.
[00:24:33]  Thomas Jefferson.
[00:24:34]  I don't care about you pretending to honor the founders.
[00:24:37]  This is America.
[00:24:38]  We wear shoes in this country.
[00:24:41]  We eat beef in this country.
[00:24:43]  We worship Christ exclusively in this country.
[00:24:46]  We don't rob people of their wealth in this country.
[00:24:50]  Get the hell out.
[00:24:53]  That's the proper response.
[00:24:55]  And you know what?
[00:24:58]  Desperate times call for desperate measures.
[00:25:02]  It might not work for us any longer.
[00:25:05]  The 50 year strategy of conservatives in America that hasn't ever really been working, it certainly might not continue to work.
[00:25:14]  The thing that's never worked may not continue to work, which is lesser of two evils, lesser of two evils, lesser of two evils.
[00:25:21]  Well, he's got an R by his name.
[00:25:26]  And these political realignments, they just don't happen every year.
[00:25:30]  You get a chance every four years for a new political realignment.
[00:25:33]  No, sometimes they take generations.
[00:25:34]  Lenin is famous for saying there are decades where nothing happens and then weeks.
[00:25:38]  Where decades happen.
[00:25:40]  So it's against this backdrop, two very different visions taking off in the Republican Party that we're saying, here's one that is such a threat.
[00:25:47]  We were talking about this before the show.
[00:25:49]  It's not just four years of Vivek.
[00:25:52]  And I feel we have friends, we have supporters, we have listeners in Ohio.
[00:25:55]  It's one of our most listened to states, actually.
[00:25:57]  I feel for the fathers, the mothers that are raising children, the churches that are there.
[00:26:02]  I feel for them.
[00:26:03]  So we're not taking this and saying, like, oh, everything will be fine.
[00:26:06]  I understand that there are real ramifications for whoever wins, whether it be Vivek or his opponent, a Jewish woman.
[00:26:11]  Amy Acton, there's downstream effects for both of them.
[00:26:14]  But one of the things about Vivek is it's not just four years.
[00:26:17]  Maybe even in those four years, temporarily, all else being equal, looking at shrinking your window, for four years, life is slightly better.
[00:26:26]  If we could look into the future, see two different futures, life is slightly better under Vivek for those four years.
[00:26:31]  Than Amy Acton, who is a Jewish Democrat.
[00:26:34]  But four years is not just four years, it then becomes eight years.
[00:26:38]  It then launches into a Senate or a Supreme Court nomination or a vice president or a president nomination.
[00:26:46]  And we don't get this opportunity to say the course of the Republican Party, the older generation is dying off.
[00:26:51]  The younger people are getting involved in politics.
[00:26:53]  And this is our dogma going forward.
[00:26:55]  It's no to Hinduism.
[00:26:56]  It's no to multiculturalism.
[00:26:58]  It's no to importing the third world.
[00:27:00]  It's America.
[00:27:01]  It's America's scam.
[00:27:02]  It's Christian.
[00:27:04]  It's our European, Western culture and heritage.
[00:27:07]  That's what defines a Republican of the Party of the Future, not whatever Vivek has said.
[00:27:11]  That's well said.
[00:27:11]  I just want to say two things.
[00:27:12]  One, going back to the concept of, like, well, will you elect, it's one Hindu, you elect one person.
[00:27:18]  How can that really, why does that really matter?
[00:27:20]  And this isn't actually what you were alluding to.
[00:27:22]  It's not theoretical.
[00:27:23]  This has actually already happened in the Democratic Party.
[00:27:25]  So, the Democratic Party circa 2010 had to run candidates who were appealing, at least in credence to the Christian ethos.
[00:27:33]  They're saying, I go to church.
[00:27:34]  Yeah, I go to this Unitarian church, but I go to church and I believe that Jesus is God.
[00:27:39]  And look where we're at now.
[00:27:41]  It's like virtually no Democratic candidate does that.
[00:27:45]  And this is where we have to inject some cynicism here, but it is really just the reality.
[00:27:49]  If you don't think both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, they've got their political consultants and their statisticians, and they're literally just running numbers.
[00:27:58]  They're just saying politics is demographics, right?
[00:28:00]  So we're running numbers.
[00:28:01]  How many Christians are there?
[00:28:02]  How many people who identify as white Christians?
[00:28:04]  Well, okay, so what if we push this policy for it or we emphasize this point?
[00:28:08]  Would we win?
[00:28:09]  Okay, we could capture 50% of that sect or that block.
[00:28:14]  And then if we said this, we could capture 50%.
[00:28:16]  And then we win.
[00:28:17]  We win Ohio, we win Florida, and we win all these.
[00:28:19]  It's all math.
[00:28:20]  This is all math.
[00:28:21]  This is how these parties.
[00:28:22]  It's not principles.
[00:28:24]  And so they all just want to win.
[00:28:25]  And so once we recognize that and we're cynical to that degree, it's not surprising.
[00:28:30]  It's because of democracy.
[00:28:32]  You have to.
[00:28:33]  If you are a Christian who wants to honor Christ, you have to come to a level of maturity where you see democracy as one of the most wicked things.
[00:28:41]  Because everything you just described, Brad Pitt, moneyball, politics, that is the logical conclusion, it always was, of democracy coupled with universal suffrage.
[00:28:56]  Democratic elements of a republic, or democratic elements of a monarchy, or some kind of, you know, with a strong aristocracy.
[00:29:05]  Sure.
[00:29:05]  But the moment that you have pure democracy with universal suffrage, you have money ball politics.
[00:29:13]  Principles gone.
[00:29:14]  100%.
[00:29:14]  Purity gone.
[00:29:15]  Virtue gone.
[00:29:17]  Yeah.
[00:29:17]  And so, what does the Vivek case look like then?
[00:29:20]  The Vivek case, if he were to win come November, what it would basically say is, oh, you can win that block without running a Christian candidate.
[00:29:29]  Yes.
[00:29:29]  Game plan.
[00:29:30]  Got it.
[00:29:30]  All right.
[00:29:31]  So, that's off the table now.
[00:29:32]  We don't even have to do that.
[00:29:33]  So good.
[00:29:34]  And so, this is where it becomes very practical.
[00:29:36]  It's like the precedent that's set.
[00:29:38]  Yeah, the precedent that's set for the nation, for the people of Hilo, yes, but the precedent that's set for the party, for its donor, for its media base, for its political consultants, is that we don't have to do the things we had to do 20 years ago to win.
[00:29:51]  And that's the problem.
[00:29:52]  And now you talk about party realignment, and this has also happened countless times in American history.
[00:29:58]  I think most prominently about the 1964 Goldwater campaign.
[00:30:01]  Now, Goldwater got crushed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, but basically the Goldwater conservative Republicans based out of Orange County looked at the Republican Party, the Eisenhower Republican Party, and they said, Oh, they're too friendly to New Deal liberalism.
[00:30:15]  Oh, they're too friendly to the military industrial complex.
[00:30:17]  They moderate on all of these cultural issues.
[00:30:19]  And so this Goldwater movement starts to flood the party.
[00:30:23]  And what is it defined by?
[00:30:24]  It's basically defined by attacking the Republican Party.
[00:30:27]  So they get crushed, absolutely wiped in 1964.
[00:30:30]  But their mens rea, their thought was if we lose the party, if we lose 1964, we win the party for the next 30 years.
[00:30:38]  And did they?
[00:30:39]  Yes.
[00:30:39]  Reagan emerges out of the Goldwater campaign.
[00:30:41]  And that form of Republicanism that's based out of California, and this is why.
[00:30:46]  I mean, California was largely conservative Republican.
[00:30:48]  They sacrificed an election because they wanted to win.
[00:30:51]  And why did they sacrifice the election?
[00:30:52]  Because they attacked themselves.
[00:30:54]  They attacked themselves.
[00:30:55]  They weren't looking toward the Democrats.
[00:30:56]  Oh, we know you're New Deal.
[00:30:57]  We know we don't like you.
[00:30:59]  What we don't like more is that there are people like you who think the same things, who have the same principles, who have the same grounding in our party.
[00:31:06]  And we're going to root that out.
[00:31:08]  And we're going to sacrifice this election to do that.
[00:31:10]  Now, that wasn't their implicit or explicit goal to lose in 1964, but they recognized the reality of that.
[00:31:17]  And for the next 30 years, that brand of Republicanism.
[00:31:20]  Dominated the party.
[00:31:21]  Beautiful.
[00:31:23]  So well said.
[00:31:25]  Ohio's Senate.
[00:31:26]  Conservative?
[00:31:27]  How many years?
[00:31:28]  So the Ohio Senate has been Republican, held by Republicans for 41 years.
[00:31:32]  The House has been held by Republicans for 31 years.
[00:31:35]  That would be 2009, 2010.
[00:31:37]  There was a brief pause with the whole Tea Party thing.
[00:31:40]  Helpful.
[00:31:40]  Let me stop you there for just a moment.
[00:31:41]  So here's the deal.
[00:31:43]  If a Vec loses and you get a Jewish female Democrat, right?
[00:31:49]  I mean, that's.
[00:31:50]  Triple threat.
[00:31:52]  That's not great.
[00:31:53]  Jewish female Democrat.
[00:31:55]  What happens?
[00:31:57]  For the citizens of one out of 50 states in our country, things are maybe slightly worse for four years.
[00:32:05]  For the whole country?
[00:32:06]  Nope.
[00:32:07]  For citizens, residents of one state out of 50 in our country.
[00:32:12]  Here's the thing about state elections if things are really bad, you can move.
[00:32:17]  Right?
[00:32:17]  So you're not trapping fellow citizens.
[00:32:19]  You're not trapping.
[00:32:20]  Fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and saying your life is ruined now, and blah blah blah.
[00:32:26]  No, they have a place to go.
[00:32:27]  I had to leave California, but I had a place to go, right?
[00:32:31]  There are other places to go.
[00:32:32]  Um, also at the federal level, chances are Senate and House that have been conservative for decades remain conservative, remain Republican.
[00:32:43]  So at the federal level, nothing's really so you just have a screeching Jewish Democrat woman for four years if she makes things.
[00:32:53]  Really bad, which probably won't be that much worse because there's all these conservative people in that state government surrounding her as checks and balances.
[00:33:00]  But if she makes them really bad, people actually have a place to go.
[00:33:03]  It's one state out of 50.
[00:33:05]  It's four years.
[00:33:06]  And then after that, similar to four years of Biden, landslide popular vote, not just electoral for Trump.
[00:33:12]  Same thing would happen in Ohio, guaranteed.
[00:33:15]  But if you get Vivek, you have just signaled to the GOP, the only party out of two in our country that even takes the time to pretend to be Christian.
[00:33:27]  You have just signaled to them, you know what?
[00:33:32]  We're done with that, GOP.
[00:33:33]  You don't have to run candidates anymore who pretend to be Christian.
[00:33:37]  You don't need them to run candidates that have been here for multiple generations.
[00:33:42]  You don't need to run white candidates.
[00:33:43]  You don't need to run Christian candidates.
[00:33:45]  You don't need to run heritage American who have been here for multiple generation candidates.
[00:33:51]  You can run polytheistic, demon worshiping, cow worshiping, Hindu, bare feet, scamming candidates.
[00:34:01]  Anchor baby Indians.
[00:34:04]  And it's a winning strategy.
[00:34:06]  The blue collar white men of Ohio and women of Ohio will vote for it in a heartbeat because he has that little letter right to his name that says, As long as it's an R, and as long as he's slightly a tick better.
[00:34:19]  He said there are two genders.
[00:34:21]  He stands on truth.
[00:34:24]  Wow.
[00:34:24]  This is our guy.
[00:34:25]  So here's the deal here's the deal.
[00:34:27]  This has become a popular topic online, on the interwebs.
[00:34:32]  I'm not in Ohio.

=== Thinking Well Politically (08:35) ===

[00:34:33]  Okay, but we're using this as a case study for a larger principle that I do think matters for Christians.
[00:34:39]  Christians, a lot of them don't.
[00:34:42]  All right, so go back to C.A.
[00:34:44]  A lot of them just look at their voting habits and they don't think morally.
[00:34:51]  Okay, but Christians of our stripe and our group, they're pretty good morally by a landslide.
[00:34:58]  I'm talking 20, 30% higher than Catholics, than mainline Protestants, the evangelicals on abortion, on immigration, on.
[00:35:08]  Traditional marriage, against homosexuality, against the Bergefell, all these things, there's zero contest.
[00:35:15]  Okay?
[00:35:16]  So, for our, speaking to our own people, what I would like to see is number one, I would like to see them start to continue to have strong convictions on those moral issues, but learn how to, you know, how you learn how to draw with the connect the dots?
[00:35:31]  I'd love to see them connect those dots and see that it forms a very clear six sided star.
[00:35:37]  Okay?
[00:35:38]  Abortion.
[00:35:40]  Immigration.
[00:35:41]  I would love for evangelicals who are incredible on those moral issues, way better than everybody else.
[00:35:48]  And it's not even close.
[00:35:49]  But I would love for them to also see yeah, but all these have been disproportionately shoved down our throat by Jews.
[00:35:57]  Okay?
[00:35:58]  So connect those dots, learn that lesson.
[00:36:00]  Secondly, you think well morally.
[00:36:05]  We need to learn to think well politically.
[00:36:08]  The political, Is not a one, if it's like a Venn diagram, it is not a perfect circle.
[00:36:15]  It's not a complete overlap of the political and the moral.
[00:36:20]  These are not the exact same categories.
[00:36:22]  The political is a tool which we are utilizing to serve the higher moral ideal.
[00:36:31]  It's a vehicle, a mechanism that we're using to move a nation, our fellow citizens towards virtue.
[00:36:40]  And truth and goodness and beauty.
[00:36:44]  But the political is still distinct.
[00:36:47]  It is not synonymous with truth and goodness and beauty, the moral, the religious, the eternal.
[00:36:54]  No, it's not.
[00:36:56]  It is a separate realm, it is a separate category, it is a vehicle, a mechanism, a tool, and it has to be used with shrewdness.
[00:37:08]  Innocent as doves, but strategic.
[00:37:12]  Shrewd, wise as vipers.
[00:37:15]  I'm not telling anybody you need to go and vote Democrat.
[00:37:18]  I can't do it.
[00:37:19]  I'm a Christian pastor.
[00:37:21]  I can't do it.
[00:37:22]  The Democrats have murdered so many children in the womb.
[00:37:27]  It is unspeakable.
[00:37:29]  I just can't do it.
[00:37:31]  Right?
[00:37:31]  And maybe it's just, well, he's retarded.
[00:37:33]  I literally can't break my programming on this one, guys.
[00:37:37]  I'm turning 40 this week.
[00:37:40]  And for 40 years, I have been trained.
[00:37:44]  And I think that a lot of that training is right.
[00:37:49]  That issue, the life of the unborn, the dignity of human life, the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception is in my blood.
[00:38:01]  And I just, I can't go rogue.
[00:38:04]  But what I can say, though, an argument that I can make is you absolutely can withhold your vote from demon worshiping, polytheistic, barefoot Indian scammers who are anchor babies.
[00:38:21]  That one, that argument, withholding your vote from trash like that, my goodness.
[00:38:27]  And here's the deal like, would you stick it to them even harder politically if you voted?
[00:38:32]  Yeah.
[00:38:32]  You would.
[00:38:33]  You'd stick it hard to the GOP, and the GOP might learn a lesson.
[00:38:36]  But if enough Christians, and some people will, there are some people who are so far to the right of Vivek, they will actually vote Democrat.
[00:38:44]  We know some of those people.
[00:38:46]  And that will stick it to them hard.
[00:38:47]  But if you're a Christian and your conscience just simply doesn't allow you to do that, I understand.
[00:38:52]  I get it.
[00:38:53]  But Christians in mass, if there are enough God fearing Christians in Ohio to say, look, we can't vote for the Democrat, but we absolutely will never vote.
[00:39:04]  For the demon worshiping Hindu.
[00:39:07]  Guys, guys in Ohio, we've got a pretty sizable listening base in Ohio.
[00:39:12]  Guys, let's do it.
[00:39:14]  Let's do it.
[00:39:15]  This is a, seriously, what Antonio said, like, and giving some of the history and an anecdote, you know, an example of how that's happened in the past.
[00:39:23]  This is a huge opportunity.
[00:39:26]  Guys who listen to NXR, who are God fearing Christians, salt of the earth in Ohio, hear my voice.
[00:39:33]  Withhold your vote.
[00:39:35]  From Vivek, opt out or just write somebody in.
[00:39:38]  Or even actively campaign against him.
[00:39:40]  Not for her, but against him.
[00:39:42]  Actively campaign against him.
[00:39:43]  He's not a Vivek.
[00:39:45]  Well, neither is she.
[00:39:46]  I'm not voting for her either.
[00:39:47]  That's right.
[00:39:47]  Yeah.
[00:39:48]  And withhold your vote so that you're not voting either way.
[00:39:50]  You have a clean conscience before the Lord.
[00:39:52]  But if enough of you patriots do that, and Amy doesn't just win, but she wins because it needs to be, he needs to get demolished.
[00:40:02]  It needs to be a big win or a big loss.
[00:40:07]  For Vivek, because that sends a signal to the entire Republican Party in America that will influence their campaigns, who they run, not just for Ohio, but every state, who they run for the president at federal elections.
[00:40:24]  It could change the course of the next 20, 30, 40, even 50 years of American politics at a national level, not just governor races in one state for four years, but presidential races that affect.
[00:40:39]  Eight years in the entire country, candidates that get destroyed in primaries, some of them never even have a political career again.
[00:40:45]  It goes so badly for them, they are never able to come back and be a serious candidate because they're looked at and it's like, Look what you did to us!
[00:40:51]  This would be a state, Trump carried it by like 11 points, right?
[00:40:55]  So, Vivek, even a bad candidate, he should maybe win by five, he loses by five to ten.
[00:41:01]  He hopefully never gets taken seriously in the Republican Party again.
[00:41:04]  He's seen as a loser, and it's not just Vivek, because Vivek is the best of India.
[00:41:12]  He's a sharp guy.
[00:41:14]  He is a billionaire.
[00:41:14]  He's a sharp guy.
[00:41:15]  He's the best looking.
[00:41:18]  Like, from guys who I know who've been on the ground, Vivek is one of the few Indians that doesn't stink.
[00:41:27]  He's one of the few Indians that looks decent and does his hair and dresses in American clothes.
[00:41:34]  And, you know, when he thinks that his feet will be in the shot, will at least put on shoes, you know, if he's not caught off guard.
[00:41:43]  He's, you know, His rhetoric is sharp.
[00:41:46]  His mind is sharp.
[00:41:47]  I mean, he repeats our talking points really well.
[00:41:49]  That's why he connected with people.
[00:41:52]  He said, Young men and women need to be able to afford homes.
[00:41:54]  They need to be able to raise children.
[00:41:55]  You need to know that God is real.
[00:41:57]  There are two genders.
[00:41:57]  He was pretty early on in rejecting wokeness.
[00:42:00]  Now, I see that as a career pivot because he kind of saw where the waters were going, where the river was heading.
[00:42:05]  But he was early on in those things and he repeats our rhetoric really well.
[00:42:08]  Though, again, you need to signal it's not enough to just say our rhetoric.
[00:42:12]  So that, and that's my point is by rejecting Vivek, you get rid of somebody who I think is a snake and dangerous and you get rid of his entire political career.
[00:42:21]  This could be it if he loses bad enough.
[00:42:23]  Secondly, because he is, in many ways, the point I was making is the best of India, you get rid of.
[00:42:29]  Not just Vivek, but all Indians.
[00:42:31]  You can scratch Hindu demon worshiping, cow worshiping, barefoot scammers, anchor babies, cow urine off the map.
[00:42:46]  You can just scratch all that 1.4 billion people who all are going to try to make their play in our country to take over this, to take over that, to get a benefit from this and a benefit from.
[00:42:59]  Like right now, Vivek is.
[00:43:02]  He is their guy.
[00:43:03]  He is representative of India.
[00:43:06]  He is.
[00:43:07]  It is all of India is looking.

=== Punishing Our Own Party (03:10) ===

[00:43:09]  It's not just the GOP is watching what's going to happen.
[00:43:12]  Will this guy work or is he outright rejected?
[00:43:15]  All of India is watching.
[00:43:17]  They're watching.
[00:43:17]  See if they have a place in the Republican Party.
[00:43:20]  Yeah.
[00:43:20]  An electoral basis.
[00:43:21]  Can we send more over?
[00:43:23]  Can we slowly take over the Republican Party?
[00:43:25]  The left got us here, but the right will keep us here.
[00:43:27]  We'll vote right.
[00:43:28]  We're happy to do it as long as our guys can win.
[00:43:30]  Our guys can be on the ballot.
[00:43:31]  He has to get destroyed.
[00:43:33]  Utterly destroyed.
[00:43:35]  Destroyed.
[00:43:35]  It is your God appointed duty as a Christian, as a worshiper of the triune God, Jesus Christ, a monotheistic Christian, and an American patriot.
[00:43:51]  It is your God given duty to make sure that he gets demolished.
[00:43:56]  Doesn't just lose by a hair, he gets demolished in this election for governor of Ohio.
[00:44:05]  For conscience sake, many of you will not be able to vote.
[00:44:08]  For his opponent.
[00:44:10]  But you can campaign against him.
[00:44:13]  You can campaign against her too.
[00:44:15]  You can withhold your vote.
[00:44:17]  You can write in a name.
[00:44:20]  You could write in a name.
[00:44:22]  The name you write in could be White Christian Mayor.
[00:44:26]  If I was in Ohio, I would go into the voting booth and I would write White Christian Mayor.
[00:44:31]  I'm actually looking it up now.
[00:44:32]  It's even likely challengeable that Putch, so he can't actually appear on the ballot because he's already appeared in the state laws.
[00:44:39]  If you're on a Republican, it's a sore loser law essentially.
[00:44:41]  So if you're on a primary, you can't appear on the ballot as a third party candidate.
[00:44:46]  And that's, by the way, historically, third party candidates, that's how you've punished a party.
[00:44:50]  I mean, withholding turnout's another one.
[00:44:52]  Primary challenges, obviously, they've already tried that.
[00:44:54]  But it is likely challengeable that Putsch could file a write in claim in November and people could literally just write in his name and that takes 20%, almost 20% of the vote away.
[00:45:04]  So it's like there's options.
[00:45:05]  I don't actually know what it looks like in Ohio, but your point stands.
[00:45:10]  Yeah.
[00:45:11]  So that's the show for today.
[00:45:13]  It's pretty straightforward, pretty simple, but thinking morally matters, absolutely.
[00:45:21]  Thinking theologically, spiritually, eternally, salvifically matters, absolutely.
[00:45:27]  But Protestant Christians have not been particularly good, especially evangelicals, at thinking politically.
[00:45:33]  Evangelicals tend to vote in the right direction in terms of the lesser of two evils.
[00:45:40]  But it has gotten to a fever pitch.
[00:45:42]  It has gotten to the point in our country where the lesser of two evils is simply not enough.
[00:45:48]  It's not.
[00:45:49]  It's not enough that we have one party that hates all five of my children with every fiber of their being, but slightly less than the other party.
[00:45:59]  It's just not enough.
[00:46:01]  So, at this point, in the political category, we are going to have to be innocent as doves, shrewd as vipers, strategic, thinking politically.
[00:46:09]  How can we, maintaining a clear conscience before the Lord, punish our own party until they truly honor Christ?

=== Strategic Political Innocence (04:58) ===

[00:46:19]  And represent us.
[00:46:20]  That's the show for today.
[00:46:22]  We hope that you've been blessed by it.
[00:46:23]  Any final words from you guys?
[00:46:25]  I would just say there's a difference between tons of Christians in 2016 had the same approach to Trump.
[00:46:30]  They're like, I can't vote for him, and so I'm going to go campaign for her, or I'm going to withhold my vote from him.
[00:46:35]  There's a difference between doing it from a leftist frame.
[00:46:38]  Well, I don't like Trump because he said he's going to ban immigration from Muslim countries.
[00:46:42]  That's because you're a leftist.
[00:46:44]  What we're saying is we will not vote for Vivek Ramaswamy because he's not a Christian, because he's not good for Ohio.
[00:46:49]  So it's like, wait, this just sounds like 2016 all over again.
[00:46:52]  He's not an American.
[00:46:53]  He's not a Christian.
[00:46:54]  He's not an American.
[00:46:55]  We're doing it, not from a leftist frame.
[00:46:56]  Well, his rhetoric on immigration is this, that.
[00:46:59]  No, that's a leftist frame.
[00:47:01]  The right, traditional, strong frame is to say, we're not voting for him.
[00:47:06]  He's not an American.
[00:47:07]  He's not a Christian.
[00:47:07]  He doesn't have the best interest of Ohio.
[00:47:09]  And he is a disaster if he becomes a norm in the Republican Party.
[00:47:13]  That's the difference between the two.
[00:47:14]  That is the difference.
[00:47:15]  Well said.
[00:47:16]  All right.
[00:47:16]  Well, thanks, guys.
[00:47:17]  I appreciate it.
[00:47:18]  I'm feeling a little bit better.
[00:47:20]  Update Some of you guys were asking lots of messages and emails and DMs.
[00:47:24]  Appreciate your love, your prayers, your support.
[00:47:27]  Went to the ER this last week and spent the day there.
[00:47:32]  Had to be hooked up to an IV and getting fluids and those kinds of things.
[00:47:37]  It's detailed, and I don't want to share every private detail with everyone on the internet.
[00:47:42]  But the good news is that I am improving.
[00:47:45]  It's some things that I'll have to continue to battle with my health and just be very disciplined.
[00:47:53]  But With discipline and hard work, I should be okay.
[00:47:56]  I was able to preach this last Sunday.
[00:47:58]  Most people who experience what I experienced and the condition that I'm having to work hard with are out of work and commission for usually a couple weeks.
[00:48:12]  But by God's grace, I had the strength to push through, to be a man, and get behind the pulpit and preach the word of God to my congregation.
[00:48:21]  And here we are on Monday in the studio recording.
[00:48:25]  And putting out content for you guys.
[00:48:27]  So I'm going to try to be wise and be a good steward.
[00:48:31]  You know, I'm turning 40 this week, and it's kind of like in God's providence.
[00:48:37]  He just, you know, with going to the ER last week, it's like he said, Hey, hello, welcome to 40.
[00:48:43]  Welcome.
[00:48:43]  We've got great things in store.
[00:48:45]  We've got great things.
[00:48:46]  Welcome to your 40s, bub.
[00:48:48]  You can't just do all the things you did when you were 20.
[00:48:52]  Life is changing.
[00:48:54]  But I will say this going to the ER, I'm being really disciplined this week.
[00:49:00]  In just a week, I've already lost like 10 pounds.
[00:49:03]  Wow.
[00:49:03]  And feeling in that regard, you know, healthier.
[00:49:07]  I just, I got to get my strength back.
[00:49:10]  And yeah, I just need to be a good steward of the life that God has given me.
[00:49:15]  All of us need to do that.
[00:49:16]  And I need to set an example.
[00:49:18]  It was never terrible.
[00:49:21]  But I just, I have some of these things that I don't want to give a lot of detail, but some of them are just hereditary.
[00:49:28]  And you know what?
[00:49:30]  You play the hand you're dealt.
[00:49:32]  And the hand that I was dealt is a hand that just requires more discipline, more intentionality, and I'm going to do it.
[00:49:40]  So here I am.
[00:49:41]  Praise God.
[00:49:42]  All glory to Him.
[00:49:42]  Got to preach to my church yesterday.
[00:49:45]  Super grateful for that.
[00:49:47]  Thanks for your prayers.
[00:49:49]  Keep praying.
[00:49:50]  Pray that I would be disciplined.
[00:49:51]  Pray that God would heal and restore my body.
[00:49:54]  And my wife has been tremendous this last week in serving me, loving me, caring for me.
[00:49:59]  So, for those of you who are wondering, that's as much of a specified update as I can give.
[00:50:05]  Hope that helps.
