| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
May God bless America.
Please, American people, listen to me.
Just a few words.
Don't agree ever, ever with any president that allow and want to afford ideology with the LGBT, homosexuals and lesbian.
God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Peter.
Never!
God created man and wife.
In order to reproduce.
So be blessed by God and read the Bible.
God bless America.
God bless America and you wonderful people from America.
Thank you.
God bless you.
Hey guys, Carlos Cortez here.
Before I get started, I wanted to thank our number one sponsor, SwitchMyProductsUSA.com.

And get all the information you need to know before you actually start buying consumables and save a ton of money in this inflation-ridden economy.
So go to SwitchMyProductsUSA And go ahead and request an appointment and one of the Patriots members will reach out to you.
Now with that being said, I wanted to talk about the debt ceiling.
This is annihilating the media right now.
You can't find any information other than negotiations and Joe Biden's in Asia and rushing back to America to try to, you know, pick up the fumble, so to speak.
Massive.
This is not even a fumble.
This is just a slap in the face to America.
We shouldn't even be in this situation right now.
But unfortunately, the Democrats and the left, they do not care about spending your money.
They believe they have an unlimited American Express card that there's just no cap to it.
So there's other countries that agree with that.
And guess what?
They're freaking socialists.
We are not socialists here in America.
But Joe Biden and all his posses and just the Luciferian elites, whatever you want to call them, the oligarchs, the Zionists, And I can think of some wonderful colorful words for them, but they do not care about spending your money.
They don't care about the national deficit.
They are willing to destroy our God-fearing, blessed country and just put us in the toilet.
They do not care.
And it shows when the President of the United States of America is in another country And military families' income is at risk.
Social security recipients such as you are at risk.
Banks are collapsing by the droves.
We look at KRE right now.
I'm sorry, I thought I had it pulled up here.
But if we just do an internet search on KRE, which is an ETF that actually tracks the regional banks, and I talk about it every single week, it's at 39.21 as we speak.
Now, this is a weekend podcast, so I'm recording this on Friday...
May 20th.
Actually, it's Saturday, May 20th.
It's midnight over here because I like to record late at night when the kids are down.
But yeah, just this week, it actually had a good week this week.
It was up almost 3%.
I'm sorry, up about 8%.
But overall, down the whole month, it's been down about close to 10%.
But year to date, year to date, it is down 33%, guys.
Now, this ETF, KRE, tracks all the banks, all the regional banks.
And so when you have rising interest rates by Jerome Powell, you're going to tank the banking system and then yelling his lines and hey, there's a lot of liquidity.
The banks are strong.
The FDIC is strong.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's all freaking lies, man.
I'm just tired of it.
Jeez Louise, I am just tired of it.
You can see the garbage coming out of their mouth as soon as they speak about it.
So the federal funds rate, guys, the federal fund rate is at 5.0 to about 5.25.
What this means is you've got to pay attention to the federal funds rate because when the Fed increases rates, This affects the banks.
The banks, when they borrow money from each other, typically sister banks or banks within each other's network.
Anyways, banks will lend each other and they'll charge a 5% to 5.25 federal funds rate.
And they do this so they can cover each other because they don't have a lot of bank reserves.
And so you want the banks to lend each other money.
Banks are profitable from it.
But what happens when the rising interest is happening is those Fed fund rates go up and now it's tougher for banks to lend money and so you have these bank runs and people are freaking out.
The banks are pretty much insolvent and they're just like a deck of cards and you guys are seeing that right now as we speak.
So, KRE is just a measure of an ETF, the regional ETF that tracks all the original banks.
Guys, this is down 35% year to date, man.
So, what are you doing having your money in the banks?
Banks aren't as safe as they used to.
I do not like the FDIC. I do not like, not just that, but when you sign a privacy agreement with a checking account, you are acknowledging that You are going to abide by the behavior rules.
They have behavior rules.
If you have an FDIC bank, or if you're banking at any bank, really, if they don't like you, they have the right to just shut your account down.
Now, with all the brain chips from Elon Musk and ChatGBT, An artificial intelligence, and they're trying to make robo-advisors.
Well, they have robo-advisors.
Financial advisors that are now robots.
Artificial intelligence.
The thing is, AI will give you content, but they will not give you conversation.
And so you need to have a conversation so that...
Someone with experience can give you good content and something to go with.
So, which reminds me of this podcast.
I am a licensed financial advisor.
I am securities licensed.
Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.
This is not investment advice.
This podcast should be only used for educational purposes.

So, America's just confused about this debt crisis.
They're not being transparent.
Like, you cannot turn on CNN or Fox Rhino News or even Newsmax.
You cannot know what's going on.
I think the American people should have the right to know what's going on.
I mean, geez, nonprofit companies share their minutes online.
A lot of businesses, public traded companies, share their minutes online.
They even have conference calls.
They even have public shareholder calls to let you know what's going on.
Where's the shareholder call of the United States of America?
What is going on with these politicians just hiding this?
Why isn't nobody talking about the national government?
Debt ceiling.
It is a massive, massive story.
And we're just supposed to sit back and do nothing?
And now you're threatening my mother's Social Security payments, my father's military pension, and all my clients' Social Security income that they rely on in order to live and buy their medications and pay their mortgages?
Come on!
This is such a massive story.
You see Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa creating their own Panama Canal called the Roadmap Incentive with the BRIC countries.
The dollar is weakening.
Yes, we get that.
The dollar is weakening.
They are not accepting the U.S. dollar in Europe like they used to 10 years ago.
I was just in Europe last week and I asked the cab drivers...
Are you okay with the American dollar?
A lot of them said yes, but as I was leaving to the airport to come back to America, some of them said, nope, we only want euros.
So, there are people that are turning their backs against the dollar.
I want to remind you guys, I want to remind you, never give up on America.
Never give up on our power.
We'll talk about some biblical components of that.
But we have to understand that we are in a state of Zimbabwe right now.
Zimbabwe, back in early 2000, they kept on printing and printing and printing money, and there was hyperinflation.
I'm talking about 2,000%.
Man, it's like the Iraqi dinar.
You can buy the dung as well and you can buy the Zimboy dollar and basically you'll have trillions of dollars and that's reality.
You can have trillions of dollars for A few thousand bucks, and you really can't buy anything.
Like, over there, in the early 2000s, you would simply just...
The inflation was so bad that even a million dollars couldn't even buy you groceries.
So, will that ever happen in America?
I hope not.
I hope not, and I don't...
I see the pathway why you can think that way, and we don't like what's going on, but in reality, there's no plan B, guys.
We are Americans.
We are America.
What are we going to do?
Move to Costa Rica?
We're going to move to Canada?
What are you going to do?
If America goes down, there is no plan B. There is no plan B. Like, where do you want to move to?
Tell me what country you want to move to that is stronger than us, that is better than us, that has a McDonald's and Starbucks and Walmart right there.
Not that I like those places, but it is a sign of convenience.
It's a sign of power.
Guys, we have to start waking up, and we just got to be proactive.
We got to stop the fear-mongering.
It was interesting because Trump, on a CNN town hall interview, before he said, that lady is nasty, you're a nasty woman, he said something that was pretty awesome.
What I love about Trump is, He will go to the line and he's willing to fulfill the threats.
He said in that CNN town hall interview...
He said...
They should quit messing around.
And I quote...
Go ahead and default.
Go ahead and default.
Obviously...
The pandemic to follow a default will just be cataclysmic.
It will be catastrophic.
It would just be devastating to the whole world.
But Trump said that because he knows that if there is a default by June 1st, here in the next 10 more days...
There will never, ever be a Democratic person in the office, in the White House.
What president, what administration wants that on their watch?
Saying that, under your presidency, you defaulted the United States of America.
Like, half of me says that would be awesome.
And I think Trump is 100% all in in that mindset, which I totally get.
But we will literally be shooting ourselves in the foot.
We will have a downgrade where our country will be a second world country, would no longer have the power that we still have, even though the whole world is turning their back against us.
We are still America.
Do not give up on America.
As a matter of fact, I want to show this letter real quick on what Trump wrote.
It looks like he wrote somebody, a dear friend.
And he just says, we are America, and do never ever turn your back, no matter how bad it is, never turn your back on America.
So I thought this was a really cool image.
Thank you, Emily, for sharing that picture.
And if you got anything you want me to share, guys, email me at info at CortezWM.com.
Maybe you want me to talk about a certain topic or do some research on something.
I love when our listeners interact and I just love it.
It helps a ton.
So, you can send me pictures at info at Cortez WM. And you can ask questions.
You can also even request an appointment via email.
And one of my staff members will get back with you.
Speaking about Zimbabwe, what ended up happening is their Prime Minister got dethroned and they actually started using the US dollar.
They needed something more stable.
That country is doing much, much better because they have a stable dollar.
Speaking of the dollar, Everybody's buying gold and silver.
I totally get it.
And they're buying precious metals.
But what actually happens is as our country goes more digital, and the FedNow program is already here, what's interesting is you're taking, you're sucking out the, you already sucked out all the pennies, right?
You remember the coin shortage?
That was a psyop.
Like everywhere you go, they wanted you to go dollars, and now they want to take the dollars away, and they want you to go digital.
So what will eventually happen is when you run out of dollars, actual dollars, and there's still value there, the value will increase because there's less scarcity with the dollar.
So you might see the dollar increase just because of the scarcity issue that we're spending so much money And they're trying to suck it out and make it convert into digital.
And this is where the Nasera-Jasera camp is happening.
I honestly don't believe in Nasera-Jasera.
I believe it's just a marketing gimmick to get you to buy more gold and silver.
And eventually what will happen is the gold and silver, you only buy gold and silver and precious metals if you're going to trade it.
It is a hedge.
It is not a retirement vehicle.
It is simply just a hedge.
Gold and silver and precious metals is red money.
It is a hedge against inflation.
But when we have de-inflation or the dollar starts to rise, that's when you need to sell your precious metals.
You need to sell your precious metals.
You are in red money.
So if you can show the graph of red money.
Red money, the definition of red money, let me remind you, is unlimited losses, unlimited gains.
Your principal is not protected.
There was no guarantee on red money.
So you have your stocks, your bonds, your futures, your real estate, crypto, gold, silver.
Most of your 401ks via mutual funds are in red money.
What you have to understand is that your mutual funds in your 401ks are going to get annihilated regardless of If we default or not because the best case scenario is we just get a credit downgrade like we did in 2011 And now, we're not going to have to beg, but the rates are going to have to be higher.
The cost of borrowing, the cost of using your credit cards, the cost of mortgages, everything will go up.
It will be tremendously hard to buy a home.
It will be tremendously hard to get a car.
It will be tremendously hard to get a small business loan to keep the operation running.
So, let us pray that we don't default.
What I think is going to happen, they're just going to kick the can like they always do.
They kick the can.
And in these negotiations, they're going to kick the can another six to eight months down the road.
So we're going to have this same conversation come October, September, November, Q3. And then the same hysteria is going to happen.
They're going to kick the can down the road.
And then they're going to say, you know what?
We're going to get a new administration.
Or, yeah, a new administration.
Let them deal with it.
Pass the baton.
Pass the baton.
In the meantime, they're doing these back-end deals of your Social Security being inoculated.
Your retirement accounts are being taxed.
The full retirement age is extending.
You don't have access to your 401k.
Your 401k is locked up.
You think you own it, but you are a participant and not an account owner.
I had asked you guys several weeks, back-to-back, even on Stu.
Stu interviewed me yesterday, and I basically said, call your 401k provider and ask them, how much money can I take out?
Can I roll my money into an IRA? Ask them.
See what they say.
I'll give you news.
They're going to tell you no.
More than likely, they're going to tell you no because you don't own the money.
You are controlled by a plan administrator because you are a participant, not an account owner.
Huge, huge difference.
So, no one's reporting these negotiations.
The American people should know.
Six out of ten Americans, as of this week, PBS had a study That they're completely confused.
They have no idea what's going on.
Six out of ten people are absolutely confused.
Excuse me.
We have to understand, guys, that there is a massive crisis.
There is a massive bubble that is going to happen.
You have to be proactive.
Your money should not be in the banks.
We don't know which bank failure is going to have.
The Fed is now saying that they may pause or they may raise interest rates again in their June meeting.
So here we go again.
Another rate hike, another bank failure.
Another rate hike, another bank failure.
It's like they don't even care.
The banking crisis is actually...
On the back burner because the debt ceiling is more important.
But if we don't take care of the debt ceiling, then all the banks fall apart, not just one or two here and there.
We're talking about all of America defaulting on its bills.
This is massive.
Kids won't even be able to go to school because there will not be any...
There would not be any money to fill up the gas tank because it's state-ran.
Public schools are state-ran.
There will be no government funding to even fund the actual gas on the bus stops, on the buses, to take the kids from the bus stop to schools.
It would just be...
I can't even fathom it, honestly.
It would just be devastating.
So I honestly don't think they will default.
I don't see it.
As much as Trump said that on CNN, he was kind of joking, but he was 100% for real that they should just default.
Even though this whole country would just fall apart and nobody wants that.
So America is scared.
And what I want to just tell you guys, if I can give you my two cents, is if you have a brokerage account, IRA, call your advisor and say, hey, what are you doing right now to protect me from the USA default?
Should the U.S. economy, the government should default?
What are you doing right now?
Because even if they don't default, the stock market is going to price it in as they're not.
And then if they do come in and default, you will see a massive deduct.
I'm talking about 20, 30, 40% drop within a week.
It would just be a massive sellout.
It would be halt after halt after halt after halt like it was in COVID. You guys remember it halted I think like three or even four times during 2020 which I've never seen at all.
The last time I saw a halt was in 2008 prior to that.
The stock market just doesn't halt.
When it does, it is monumental.
It's historic.
So What are you doing?
Ask your advisor, what are you doing to protect your money from the debt ceiling should the US economy default by June 1st?
We only have 10 more days.
They're going to be working around the clock.
There's no one allowed to be reporting on it because everything's a secret.
There's going to be some compromises, but what are you doing right now?
Why are you in red money?
You're close to retirement.
Why do you have all your money in the stock market?
Is what my question is to you.
You're five, six years away from retiring.
And there's a 30, 40% dip.
And you have half a million bucks.
But now you have 280,000.
I'm sure that's going to change your life.
We don't want you to go through that.
There are remedies.
There are solutions so that you never have to experience that again.
2001 was terrible.
Fool me once.
Shame on me.
2008 was just as bad.
Fool me once.
Shame on me.
Fool me twice.
Shame on you.
Then we have 2020.
Fool me once.
Shame on me.
Fool me twice.
Shame on you.
There's no fool me three times.
You should know and learn your lesson by that.
Red money, guys, has its risk, and that risk is you will lose your retirement.
Unfortunately, guys, They default.
If this defaults, which again, I don't think it will, but you always need to be a good steward and plan as if.
If they do default and they don't come up with an agreement, Your retirements are gone, guys, if you have not done anything.
If you've not even had a conversation about green money.
More than ever, you need insurance on your money.
More than ever, you need to diversify out of the stock market, out of the stinking banks.
Like, the banks would go belly up.
Like, you think a banking crisis is now?
No.
You default, then every single bank is going to go belly up.
What are you doing having your life savings in the bank account?
If you have CDs, why?
Why do you have CDs?
It just doesn't make sense to me.
Inflation is terrible.
The CDs are still paying garbage.
Well, there are some that pay $4.25, but is FDIC insured?
Yuck.
So do you trust the federal government with their own insurance claims?
I'm not going to talk.
I'll let you decide and formulate your own opinion.
You need to have private insurance on your money.
You need to have green money.
Green money is a great solution here.
You have to privatize your own cash.
Speaking of cash, having cash at your home is great too.
Guess what you're doing?
You're resisting the CBDC. You're resisting the FedNow stupid program.
You are resisting the artificial intelligence that is keeping score of your everyday transactions.
Yes, cash.
I'm not saying precious metals is bad.
I'm just saying it's just an investment, guys.
It's just an investment.
It is not a retirement vehicle.
It's a hedge.
Are you going to sell your precious metals if the dollar crashes?
Are you going to sell your precious metals when deflation happens?
And it will happen.
It's the opposite of inflation.
A lot of people don't realize what deflation is.
Deflation is a very, very, very disgusting thing for the economy.
What will actually happen is, let's just say you own a business.
You own an ice cream shop.
No, that's a bad example.
Let's just say you own an electronics store and you sell TVs and just appliances in general and there's TVs that you sell for $500.
Well, you sell this beautiful TV for $500.
You purchase these TVs for $325, so you can sell them for retail $500.
So you make a good 20% markup.
Hey, that's okay.
What happens is, in a deflationary period, Your $350 cost for that TV now is $250.
The prices go down.
So what you actually do is you buy more at $250.
But your consumer is not buying anything because they see the massive drop from $500 to $400.
Your profits still the same but now you don't have business and so you as a business owner are out of luck because you spent all your capital on buying These newer price TVs and you can't unload them because the consumer is waiting for the next price drop and The next price drop and they actually hoard their cash and they don't spin it because the prices are going down so fast and That they actually hoard the cash.
The small business owner is not profitable, so guess what?
He has to let go of his employee.
That employee has a mortgage and car and health insurance to pay.
Well, they default on everything.
They lose their home.
They lose their car.
They lose their kids' tuition.
I mean, they lose, and so it stunts the economy when the prices go down.
And it creates a ripple effect like you wouldn't believe.
Then you talk about the banks.
The banks now do not have depositors because their members or their depositors are not showing up because they don't have a job anymore.
So they can't lend that money out to be profitable.
It is a nasty ripple effect and you can see that coming with this deflationary period if we don't get this thing in order.
We've got to stop printing money.
We have to stop printing money and creating this hyperinflation garbage.
And the government is doing this on purpose as they're burning up our chickens.
They're burning up, killing our cows.
They're creating this shortage of derailments everywhere.
They're poisoning us through all these harsh chemicals we spray in our home thinking it's great.
They're vaccinating our meats.
So if, like I had mentioned, switchmyproductsusa.com, they are a patriotic company and they don't use harmful chemicals in their products.
As a matter of fact, this is where I get all my beef from.
They actually have a cattle ranch, and these cows have been blessed in a field with no open rain here in America.
You can order your beef.
Just go to switchmyproductsusa.com and not have any mRNA or any nasty steroid injection and get lean Midwest beef delivered right to your door.
Go to Switch My Products USA if you are interested in getting beef to your door.
The beef is incredible.
But guys, I just really wanted to simply just talk about You gotta get out of red money, man.
Like, the bond market is not safe right now.
The banks are not safe.
Bitcoin is not safe.
Precious metals is extremely volatile.
I trust insurance contracts, precious metals right now, and cash.
And treasury bills are still good because I really believe that the government will not default.
I think this is all a marketing campaign just to get these These politicians scaring you into thinking, oh, the government's going to default.
They're not going to default.
They're just going to stop your Social Security payments, possibly for a month.
They're going to compromise.
Rhino, Mitch McConnell, I'm sorry, Rhino McCarthy is going to give away the farm.
They're going to try to reduce the spending of the Democrats, and the Democrats are like, well, you've got to give us something.
You've got to give us a honeywell, because we have to pay for our ungodly spending somehow.
And what McCarthy is going to suggest, well, you can tax the Social Security beneficiaries.
And Joe Biden and his crew are going to be like, socialism, I love it.
Yes, that sounds great.
That sounds great.
And we're going to tax the wealthy.
He's going to throw every hard-working American under the bus.
McCarthy.
So, this is why they don't want any, any, any, any reporting on the negotiations.
Because they're going to throw us under the bus.
But if you are not proactive...
With your retirement planning, with your 401Ks, your IRAs, you're either going to lose money to the stock market or you're going to lose money to the taxation.
You need account ownership and you need to stop doing business with woke companies.
If you're at the big companies, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Edward Jones, Ameriprise, MassMutual, those are woke companies.
They believe in abortion.
They do not stand...
And they're not even talking about God, country, and family.
They're not allowed to talk about their religious faith.
They're not allowed to talk about what that advisor believes in because they have to be corporate.
They have to put you in Disneyland and jab inducing stocks like Pfizer and Moderna.
You have to support the penis chopping people That believe in transgender garbage and their websites are all flamboyant with rainbow flags.
Come here shortly in the month of June of Gay Pride Month.
That's what you're supporting when you're doing business with these people.
When is it enough?
God's not going to judge you for the money you've made.
God's going to judge you on the character it took to make that money.
So, you have to defund the woke in every aspect of your life.
Defund Satan.
We don't support it.
Period.
If you want a radical change, and you want principle protection, you want godly leadership in your portfolio, you want an America First agenda that doesn't support these nasty idiots that are just...

As a matter of fact, during COVID, I had a sign on my door.
If you're vaccinated, please do not come in.
You guys remember?
During a lockdown, they were saying, if you're not vaccinated, you're not welcome in.
You remember that garbage?
Well, I did the reverse.
And I closed.
I shut down on Good Friday when everybody was open.
I actually shut down.
And I said, on my company door, I put a little letter.
I said, what are you doing now?
What are you doing?
Talk about money on Good Friday.
Go home and read your Bible.
I kid you not.
I had a picture of that on my door during this pandemic.
And it was awesome.
It was awesome.
The main thing about this podcast, guys, or today's podcast is Red Money.
Red Money has mutual funds, your 401Ks, your IRAs, your crypto, your gold, your silver, your real estate.
Those are not principle-protected products.
They will go up and down in value.
They will go up and down in value.
And you need to convert that red money into green money right now.
To survive this financial storm, we're going in to, you got to convert it into green money.
Green money is principal protected insurance contracts that will guarantee your principal.
Tell me where you're going to guarantee your principal.
Please, I'm all ears.
Where are you going to get a contract that says my principal is guaranteed?
I'll give you a hint.
There's no other asset class.
So, we are specialists in green money and safe money.
Give us a call, 813-448-3446 or book your appointment at CortezWM.com.
We want to secure your retirement so that you can go to bed at night and hit the pillow and not even worry about it.
Just enjoy your retirement.
And that's how...
God says in 2 Timothy 1, 7, for I've given you the, not given you the spirit of fear, but of peace, love, and sound mind.
He also says in other verses, Akeem James, discipline.
Peace, love, and discipline.
Depending on which translation you're reading.
But peace, love, and sound mind.
Are you having peace, love, and sound mind where you're at right now?
Call your advisor and say, hey, 2 Timothy 1.7, for I have not given you the spirit of fear, but of peace, love, and sound mind.
And see what he says.
Like, okay, what are you bringing the Bible scriptures of?
What, are you offended about the Bible?
Well, there you go.
You have somebody that doesn't even believe in a Bible managing your livelihood.
There's a spiritual de-yoking, so to speak, on that.
So you need to get on the same page as your advisor, spiritually, medically, now politically, economically.
This is more serious and deeper than what you think, guys.
And I want to be that lighthouse on Wall Street.
You know, look, they told me when I was a kid, that I was a Spanish kid, I didn't know anything about money.
Merrill Lynch, Merrill Prize told me that.
When I went for an interview...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It was not them.
I stand corrected.
It was...
Oh, man.
Yeah, it was...
I remember I was interviewing with Merrill Lynch and Citi at the time.
And they told me that.
They said I was a Spanish kid.
I didn't come for money.
That I needed to shave.
I couldn't wear jewelry.
I shouldn't have the beard.
I looked too Spanish.
Yeah.
And I don't come for money so I wouldn't be successful.
Now those assholes want my business and they're offering multi multi-million dollar contracts for me to sign on with them.
And I said no.
I didn't say it in those words.
I said some colorful words.
Look, I may be God-fearing, but I cuss a little, alright?
Yeah, so I didn't sign on with them.
Nope.
I would never do it.
My integrity is not for sale.
So, anyways guys, I'm rambling here.
Let me get to the scriptures.
Genesis 3.14.
Then the Lord God said to the serpent, because you have done this, you are cursed.
More than all animals, domestic and wild, you will crawl on your belly, reveling in the dust as long as you live, and I will cause hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring.
He will strike your head and you will strike his heel.
He's talking about he made the snake basically disabled.
I find that verse interesting, because God is a God of justice.
God is a God of justice.
He will make people squirm on their belly.
He will chop their knees off in an instinct.
He will humble anyone.
Let's not forget the power of God of all these people mocking the Holy Spirit, mocking the cross, mocking the blood of our sacred Jesus.
Let's not forget how strong God is omnipotent, omnipresent, how they can humble these evil people.
These evil people that are destroying what many, many soldiers have fought for the greater good of our country and died and paid it all.
The sacrifice.
Let's not forget.
Let's not forget that even my friends' parents growing up in a military home I think I shared this story before.
I had friends growing up in a military home that their parents had passed away at war.
And they gave it all for our country.
They gave it all during Desert Storm.
Proverbs 18.10 Let's not forget God is our shelter.
In difficult times, We can feel exposed and unprotected.
But the Lord offers us security that isn't dependent on our situation.
And Proverbs 18.10 The name of the Lord is our strong fortress.
The godly run to him and are safe.
So, basically what God is telling us, He'll never ever say we're never going to experience pain.
We are going to experience pain.
Instead, He gives us a much deeper comfort than our circumstances can provide.
So this is where people turn into alcohol, they turn into pornography, they turn into lust, they turn into whatever drug that makes them feel comfort.
Instead of running to God, we do sinful things when we're stressed and depressed.
We do the same thing when we're financially distressed.
We seek the wrong advice or we seek what we think is right.
Don't be that person.
Proverbs 18.10.
I'll read again.
The name of the Lord is our strong fortress, the godly run to him and are safe.
Straight up, God tells us, run to Him.
He's going to protect us.
Doesn't matter what happens to our country.
Doesn't matter if we default.
Doesn't matter if you run out of money.
Doesn't matter if you run out of food.
God will provide.
He is our strong fortress.
Do not believe the words in this holy book.
I do.
I do.
And God almost killed me.
To make sure that...
He shook up any part of atheistic views I ever had in my life.
Because...
We have to understand guys...
We can't put this...
And money...
In front of God's word.
When we don't feel safe and secure...
With God, we run to our money.
And many of people, many Christians, feel safe and secure with their money rather than God's Word.
So let that marinate in your spirit.
I pray that if you're new to the show, that you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior.
That you will humble your heart.
You will humble yourselves upon Him.
And that you will seek His face.
You need Him in order to do life.
Because we're all sinners.
We are all stinking sinners.
And we've all done filthy things in our lives that we need to be cleansed by His Holy Spirit, by His blood, to reactivate our name in the book of life.
And God is so gracious that He sent His only Son to die on that rugged cross so that He can liberate us and give us the shot at having eternal life just by accepting Him.
So if you haven't accepted Christ in your heart, please accept Him.
Just ask Him, God, show me Your face.
God, forgive me for all I have done.
I don't even know what I've done, but I know I haven't loved You and I haven't sought Your face like you want me to you deserve my heart give your heart to him if anything that you learn if anything it's not about the money it's not about the sponsors it's not about the Fed or the sports that's going on or the news media this podcast is This podcast is my ministry to
