Hi, this is Pastor Greg and you're listening to Chosen Generation Radio. Get more at chosengenerationradio.com.

That's Chosen Generation Radio, where no topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses. My passion is the fight for freedom. My father fought for a World War II defending our country. Today we are no longer fighting with guns. Instead, we are fighting an ideological battle for control of our country by contributing to causes that support your constitutional rights.

I am Patriot Mobile. Sexual predators and comprehensive sex education both break down inhibitions. That's what they start with. They also gain trust with the child and then slowly start to get them towards sexual activity.

Everything goes. You are teaching children adult child sex. You're teaching transgender issues. Children are moldable and influenced by that. They said, okay, now we need you and your team to be able to explain what homosexuality is to a four-year-old student. To introduce this kind of material at that age, frankly, it's child abuse. We're going to teach our children that it's okay for any two children of any age of any sex to have sexual intercourse with each other as long as two components are present. One's using a condom and they both give consent.

Did I hear that correctly? It's not a neutral venue. There's no such thing. The schools are doing your job. They are discipling your children, but they're not discipling them in the faith of Jesus Christ. It's only the exceptional child that even survives that system. Most do not survive.

Most have not survived. They believe that children are sexual from birth and that they deserve and have the right to be sexually active and to seek sexual pleasure. And if anyone is stopping them from that, then you are judging and oppressing them. Even kindergarten now, they're wanting to teach them more and more perverse information and acts and put that into the children's minds. And once that poison is in the child's mind, it doesn't leave. They'll always remember what they learned. And it's by design, it's orchestrated.

In my humble opinion, it will be worse before it gets better. The first time I tried Vibe, I had more energy in about 20 minutes. I started to think clear.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people that you should shoe forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God, which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. And now chosen generation where no topic is off limits and everything is filtered through biblical glasses. And now here's your host, Pastor Greg. And welcome back to chosen generation radio where no topics off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses. Our, our number three, my goodness. Amazing.

Has it flown by? So first half hour of the day we had Bill Federer and I hope you'll pick that up. We talked about America's, what we talked about. Can a republic and a democracy survive in an immoral and amoral climate? And Bill laid out the history of how immoral and amoral and I learned something interesting that I did not know that the governor of New York during the colonial age and one of the things that are that, that Jefferson and Adams had a conversation about was called effeminacy. And you say, effeminacy?

Yes. Effeminacy. The governor of New York who was the cousin of queen Anne would actually walk around dressed up like a woman.

No lie. I didn't know that. Maybe I didn't. I just didn't remember it, but he used to walk, he literally used to walk around dressed up like a, like a woman. And this was one of the concerns that they had in saying, Hey, um, you know, because, because they had watched this, they understood history.

They went back and they looked at, for example, you know, Rome and, and all the, these different places and, and this effeminacy, men acting like women and, and, and, and immorality was a part of the fall of every single one of these republics. Crazy. Anyway, we talked about that with Bill. Then we talked with Elon Srulovich. Anyway, Elon, and we had a great conversation about his transition to faith and, and, and he's an amazing story. Has, has starred in movies alongside Brad Pitt and also Mark Wahlberg and, and part of the walking dead.

Just a number of different films, but he has really come to faith and, and, and quite a young man and was just a wonderful conversation. And then we just finished a great conversation with Adrian Kabicki, the general counsel for Poland in New York. And we talked about Zelensky and, and Putin. And I told you guys, validating what I said, and that is, it appears that Putin and Prigozin put on a show so they can move the Wagner Group into Belarus so that they could prepare an invasion of Poland. And it, the people, the Polish leadership is saying, we, we better not discount that idea at all. And I've been saying that, and people say, you're crazy and you're spreading Ukrainian propaganda. Well, no, I'm not. I'm a cold war vet who understands the mindset of a KGB agent. Everybody wants to pretend that Putin's whatever, but at the end of the day, Putin's evil. That's all there is to it.

Anyway. And then with Mr. Federer's conversation, it was interesting. And I want to bring in Don Jans. Don, welcome. Good to have you. Don Jans Good to be here.

Thank you so very kindly for inviting me. John Green Absolutely. You know, there were some things that Bill brought up that are so in line when you look at what they're doing to us here. The chaos that they're creating, the deconstructing of our country. Something else that he pointed out that I thought was very interesting had to do with a, it was the impetus for the beginning of the Republican Party. And there was a law that the Democrats forced through that basically said that if a slave escaped to the north, that there was a federal law that you were supposed to turn your neighbor in who was hiding that slave, that they would then be returned back to the south. And so I'm forgetting now I forget what state it was in.

But in one of the states, this happened. And 5000 white residents went and broke that slave out of prison. And, and then ultimately, that same 5000 gathered and held a convention and created the Republican Party. And the Republican Party had two planks, two major planks, free the slaves and defend traditional marriage. Now, you might say, Well, why were they?

What was what would that have been about? That's because there was a group of people who had been pushed out to Utah, who were promoting polygamy. And so there, so there was a party, a political party that was created to defend traditional biblical values. And at the top of the list was traditional marriage. Did you know that Don?

I did not. How about that? So if you're a Republican, at its roots, you're against slavery, and you are for traditional biblical values, including traditional marriage, and you can't be a part of that unless you are in agreement with that. Just saying.

So about 1213 minutes left, talk Don. How important is it that we get back to these foundational principles? One of the things that that Bill said was, is that historically, once a nation has thrown off and discarded virtue and morality and God, that because of the nature of man being as wicked and evil as it is, the snowball gets to be so big that it's a nearly impossible task to turn that nation around. Look what happened to Judah. When that snowball began in Judah, there was no there was no turning back. And and what we found was a big part of that was was the Judeans not obeying what God told them.

And that is that you are not to marry with the with the other people. Why? Because they will lead you astray. First of all, so many people. And this is this is a large part of this is due to our history. I'm writing another book.

I don't know if I mentioned this before. But and I hope to have it out this fall. By this fall, I don't mean September.

I mean, hopefully, at least by the end of October. I'm writing it about the transition. And we are being transformed in so many different ways. We're being transformed from a constitutional republic whose basis they're founding on primarily this principle. We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and they are endowed by their creator.

That's God. With certain unalienable rights, that means we cannot have them taken from us. We cannot give them away. With certain unalienable rights amongst them, the right to life, to liberty and to the pursuit of happiness. There is so much tied into that single statement that we forget that we have manipulated and that we have thrown aside. We were founded as a constitutional republic. We were told by our founders that democracy will be our downfall. Democracy will ruin us.

What is the difference? Democracy is ruled by the majority, some majority. It's ruled by man. In a democracy, we are always, always at the subject of the whim of man. Our republic was founded on the basis that our rights come from God and not from man nor government.

Man and government cannot take any of those rights from us. We were founded on the basis that our, our supreme being, although we say it is the law, and that's the Constitution of the United States. Patrick Henry told us that we are not founded as a religious country.

We get this so wrong. Patrick Henry was so specific about this. He said, no, we're not founded as a religious country. We are founded as a country whose beliefs are based on Jesus Christ.

What a difference. What a difference that is from being a religious country. So we have, we have, we have thrown away all of that belief on what our founding is.

And today we talk about saving our democracy. What we're saying is we no longer want to be under the rule of law. We want to be under the rule of man. Israel wanted to be under the rule of man. They said, everybody around us has a king and that king tells us what to do. That's what we want. And Samuel said, you guys are so wrong. Do you really want to go under the rule of man where a man can take away anything he wants from you?

10% of this, 20% of that, he can tell you what you have to do every day. Or do you want to be under the rule of God who will treat you fairly, who will treat you righteously. Let me, and our nation is no different today. We're saying we want to be under the rule of man and not under the rule of law. And we want to abandon our basic beliefs upon which we were founded. Unless we return, we will go the way. Well, in fact, we might be there now.

We will go the way of every, every great power that's ever existed. Now, Don, the accusation is that those that are on the right that are proposing a biblical worldview, a Christian worldview, are trying to make America a religious state. You were just saying that Patrick Henry said not religion, but founded on Jesus Christ.

Explain to the audience what you mean how that is different. It was differentiated in the minds of the believers. Well, religion is, religion is a practice of many things. Religion always has rules and always has different hardcore policies that man has established and go way back again to the Bible and folks go back to the Bible. Seriously, get into the scriptures because they will tell us where we are and what's happening today. I often like to say that the only thing that has really changed over time has been the way we communicate, the way we, the way we travel.

It's quicker, it's much quicker, but the basic nature of man has never ever changed. And we find Jesus explaining explicitly what religion is versus what God is. And he's talking to the Pharisees and the Sadducees and he says, you people, you are telling these people, they have to follow all of your man made rule. They have to believe in everything that you dictate. You want them to set as their supreme being your rule.

And that's wrong. You must always just have God as your, as your supreme being. And you follow these two simple commandments that you love the Lord, your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul. And the second is like onto this, you love your neighbor as yourself.

Simple, straightforward, but you know where your priorities are. You know who is your ruler. In our nation today, under religion, we have a bunch of rules and we have to adhere to those rules. And that's what religion is. Karl Marx told us, he said, communism begins where atheism begins.

Both communism and atheism are the epitome of what religion is. You play something besides God as your supreme being and follow a bunch of rules. And you, you're more concerned with adhering to the rules of what man has established as opposed to the laws of God. And this is where we are.

This is what we're doing. We're saying that we can now, that we rule ourselves, that we can be anything we want to be, that we can change everything that God has ever established. And those of us who disagree with that, we are enemies of the state. We are enemies of the people. We are cruel. We are not compassionate. And this has been the downfall of every great empire. Hang on, I was looking for... While you're looking, I want to reiterate and I want to emphasize again, that democracy is following the rules of man. Democracy is absolute government at the whim of men.

And anytime you have that, you're basing everything you do strictly on emotion and very seldom on reason. All right. I think I have found it, folks. And I want to walk you through, this is the scriptural references for what he just said. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men, for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer the them that are entering to go in. Well, listen to what Jesus just said. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men, for you neither go in yourselves, neither do you allow those that are entering to go in. You devour widows' houses for a pretense and make long prayer, therefore you'll receive the greater damnation. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold the child of hell than you yourselves.

Pretty powerful stuff. Even in Luke 11. Is it Luke 11? Luke. Ah. Hang on. I looked it up over here.

Where did it go? I think it's Luke 11. Ah.

No. Then it's Luke 10. Man, I opened it up and I had it. Because it was talking about that same thing about religion. Well, Colossians 2. Beware lest any man spoil you through the philosophy in vain deceit after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power, and whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands.

So it's it's it's the understanding. Yeah, 11 it's it is it's Luke 11, verse 46. Then he answered one of the lawyers and said, Master, thus saying that were approaches to us and he said, woe unto you also you lawyers, for you laid men with burdens grievous to be born and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers, woe unto you for you build sepulchres of the prophets and your fathers killed them. Truly you bear witness that you allow the deeds of your fathers, for they indeed killed them and you build sepulchres. Therefore, also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation. That's the religion that you're talking about.

Yes. That's the religion that you're talking about. And and and it's the religion that the founders were saying, No, our nation is not built on man's tradition of religion, that gives the church this ultimate power to control the lives of the people. But rather, we're setting the people free by pointing them to the very foundation, which is Christ, the building block upon which the church is built, the cornerstone upon which the body of Christ is built, and the source of the morality, the source of the transformation of the nature of man, which is what has given him and allowed him to operate in freedom, and with morality, because you can't have one without the other. That is that is so critical.

That is so so so critical. You you cannot have liberty and instill and still have instill have the government control what everything we do. That's what liberty is, is allowing us to be able to make our own choices. And liberty and equity. Remember, everything that we are hearing today is that we must establish equity. And equity and liberty. Liberty is what is the basic founding of our of our nation. Liberty and equity cannot exist together.

One always takes away from the other. And you must understand exactly what I said, and you will understand what is going on in our nation today. When we turn from God, when we turn from this to thought from our founding, we will also go the way of all great empires.

And unfortunately, that is in into the trash heap is is is where is where they end up going to. Don, thanks for being with me today. I greatly appreciate it.

I folks, I just I can't tell you how important it is that we understand the history that we apply the scriptures, and that we recognize that the biblical worldview was the founding and it is the only way out of the darkness that we are in. We'll be back. I've got another segment coming up.

Michael Brandau will be with us coming up on the other side. You're listening to Children's Generation Radio. I'm your host, Pastor Greg. By the way, this Saturday, tomorrow, hang on, where did where'd my Facebook feed go?

And I had like three of those up. Now I got none. Okay, so this Saturday, David Lowry, who appears here on TCN TV, is going to have an event and I thought he sent it to me in messenger. Let's see. But But now, of course, it's not showing up. But the event is is is there in Oh, I know where it is. I know where it is. I'll find it. It's right here.

There we go. Okay, it's a rally for the homeless in Chicago at the Thompson Center at 100 West Randolph Street to provide clothing, food, hygiene products and healthcare opportunities for the homeless citizens of Chicago. Chicago gave $51 million to illegal aliens and move them into the black communities without the consent of the citizens of the community. 77% of the homeless in Chicago were black 70% of the homeless in Chicago are veterans. And there is a rally being held by Pastor David L. Lowry Jr. And and they are working with the universal baptist church in Harvey Illinois on on trying to address this horrific issue of inhumane treatment by the city of Chicago, taking their tax dollars and giving them to illegals instead of taking care of the very people who live and and and are in the community and having moved the people in the community out of their homes in order to provide space for illegals. And David is pushing back against that and trying to expose that. But they're having a big rally and that's this Saturday rally for the homeless in Chicago, the 22nd at the Thompson Center 100 West Randolph Street in Chicago.

All right, now my break and I'll be back with more Children Generation Radio coming up right after this brief break.

And welcome back to Chosen Generation Radio, where no topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses.

I'm your host, Pastor Greg. And for those of you that are watching us at the website, chosengenerationradio.com or on TECN TV, the gentleman you see in front of you is Mr. Michael Brando. He's a writer on society, the arts, and canine culture. He's the author of four books on subjects ranging from public policy to social history, memoir, and political commentary, New York's Poop Scoop Law, A Matter of Breeding, a Biting History of Pedigree Dogs, also Gone Walkabout, and What's the Problem Now?

Black Grievances and White Guilt. And he's contributed to many publications, including the New York Times, the New York Post. And I want to welcome Michael to the program. Michael, good to have you with me. Thanks for being here.

Thank you for having me, sir. Well, it's an interesting topic. I had Ed Brodo on who we talked about the war on whites, which I think in many respects that there is a war.

I had Melanie Collette on on Wednesday, and we were talking about that. She's a black female conservative, which that's like being an enemy of the woke left. And then I'm a white pastor. I'm at the very top of the list.

I'm like public enemy number one, I think, with my biblical worldview. So you've kind of tried to break this down and disarm the situation. Talk to me a little bit about how, you know, looking at it from the perspective of a dog walker, which I think is kind of a cool thing, right? Because I have to imagine that you interact with owners of dogs that are just a variety of folks, including just, you know, the blue collar working guy that has to go out and work, but he loves his dog. And the dog's trapped up in an apartment all day long while he's at work.

And it's kind of nice to have somebody take that dog out and exercise it so the dog's happy when he gets home. Well, what being a dog walker has done for me has given me a real sense of the street and what's going on. I mean, I really know the street and specifically the sidewalk where I walk, and I have my ear to the pavement. And I notice what's going on politically by the sidewalk. Since 2020, I've sensed a new boldness to hate white people and to give them trouble any chance you get. And that's what I'm basically writing about in the book, my encounters with black people who are coming to my neighborhood basically to piss me off.

Wow. Well, you know, I think about, and it was one of the true tragedies, and I don't know the net result. I believe she's pretty severely injured. But there was a woman who walked every day in her neighborhood there in, I think it was New York, maybe it was Chicago, maybe even Philadelphia. But she was walking to go pick up a prescription at a pharmacy, at her local pharmacy, and three black youth attacked her and violently beat her to the ground.

This is a daily occurrence. And often these black youth who come to, of course, it's not all black people. It's a very small segment of black people. And unfortunately, these are the people Black Lives Matter comes to the rescue of whenever there's a problem, no matter what terrible crimes they've just committed. And these are the people because of all this coverage that everyone else think represent black people somehow, and they don't. You know, that's a big part of this as well.

I'm glad that you bring that up. Because, you know, even on the side of the equation, and I think there's a lot of black people that are waking up to realizing, my friend My friend Vince Ellison has has has done a documentary called will you go to hell with me, where he challenges the black church, and the black community saying, you know, how can you be a part of a party that wants to kill babies at 28 days, that that that is promoting things that are absolutely against what what black culture teaches black culture predominantly teaches this Bible. They're very religious.

Yeah. Christianity is a huge part of of of the black community life. And in fact, it's it you know, you you think about, you know, even a guy like a Barack Obama and and certainly Warnock, Warnock and and I mean, their version of Christianity is not the biblical one that I just showed you. But the point of it is, is that they're launching themselves out of a supposed Christian environment. And Vince's position is, why would you follow those kinds of people who are teaching things that are completely antithesis to Scripture, that may be part of it, but I think it's also taking the side of the democrats, which have been completely subsumed by the left, that it's not just religion, it's it's it's insanity, it's common sense.

It's enlightenment values, it's all sorts of things. I mean, I was a two time Obama supporter, because I believed in universal health care, and I still do. But since then, I've heard so many terrible things said about white people, about how stupid and evil they are. And I've seen so many senseless acts of violence, not just against me, but against other black people by blacks. You know, I just kind of, I turned Republican.

That's what it did to me. And it wasn't because of religion. I grew up Catholic, Roman Catholic, I was an altar boy, I went to Catholic prep school, I went to Christian Brothers of Ireland. I'm not really practicing Christian anymore.

But I think that did some good things for me. But it really has to do with common sense. You don't go around putting down white people if you want to make friends, and you don't, you don't burn cities if you want to build a future for yourself. Talk to me about some of your personal anecdotes, if you will, of things that have happened that you have personally experienced as you've been out on the pavement, as you mentioned, you know, just kind of minding your business doing what you do.

I think one of my best stories actually happened in the grocery store downstairs from me. I call it my let's make whitey do stuff story. And it may seem petty, but it actually isn't in the broader scheme of things. It seems that a small group of black girls cashiers working in that store took it upon themselves to create this new custom.

And then to make us follow it. It had to do with how you pay for groceries. Apparently, it was suddenly rude and racist to our words, to not to give money directly to a cashier, but rather lay it on the counter, as I've always done my whole life, you know, as I would do with a bank teller down the street or, you know, on the tables in Atlantic City.

And in a post-COVID environment, you don't want hand-to-hand contact anyway. But these black girls gave us a really hard time. And most of the woke whiteys in my very woke white neighborhood went along with it.

They just assumed, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. We're being insensitive. This is a culture clash.

We need to be more socially cognizant. So they went along with it, and they started handing it to them directly. I just rolled my eyes, but I did it. Until one day, I put my two $20 dollar bills on the counter, and the black girl screamed at me. She said, pick it up. And I didn't like the tone of that. I said, no, you pick it up. She said, no, you pick it up.

We went back and forth, and a line is forming behind us, right? And she goes off and gets her manager, a lovely black man I've known for years and who's always been on good terms with me, and he comes over to the register and just tells her, cut the crap, pick it up. And they never did this again.

They never did this again. I mean, it may seem petty, but it really is an example among many of trying to make the most innocuous, silly thing a matter of race and oppression. Wow. Now, we talked a little bit about the violent tendencies that tend to happen.

Have you borne witness to any kinds of physical attacks? Okay, talk. Go ahead. I moved to New York from Detroit, of all places, but I grew up in suburban Detroit, but I moved there in 1982, which was still very much the seventies in New York.

Sure. I lived on a nice block, Upper West Side, 85th, Carolyn Kennedy lived down the block, but it was not a safe neighborhood. No, nowhere really was in New York. I got mugged twice my first year before I became very streetwise and stopped acting like a dumb tourist. I learned to become acutely aware of everything, everywhere I went. And you have to be, they wonder why New Yorkers are neurotic, but you know, go through that.

I challenge you to not become neurotic. Right. The first time I was mugged by two black guys with a gun and the second time I was mugged by two black guys with a knife. And I decided early on though, that I much preferred guns if I had to make a choice because knives are silent.

If you shot, someone's going to hear you and probably come to your rescue. So basically, I mean, it's a personal preference. It's a matter of aesthetics, style, but you know, I don't know if other people have their own preference for how they prefer to be mugged.

For how they prefer to get mugged. No, yeah. You know, I'll tell you, I don't tell the story. But so when I was a kid, I grew up in the Bay Area, out in the San Francisco Bay Area. Grew up in a little town.

Yeah, well, I grew up in a little town called San Leandro, which was just across the bay, next to Oakland. And I was a crossing guard when I was in fifth grade. And, and, and, and our reward for doing an excellent job of cross guarding all year was to go to a Cal Berkeley football game at Memorial Stadium there in Berkeley. And so we went to the, you know, went to the game, and we were enjoying the game and what have you. And somewhere along the line, I had to go use the restroom.

Now the rule was, you're supposed to do a buddy system. But I could not, I mean, nobody would go. And I was like, well, I gotta go. And so they were like, well, you know, just, you go. So I go to the restroom.

And I go in and, and I'll never forget, it was it was an eerie feeling because I walked in and there were a few people, you know, mingling around in there. And then all of a sudden, there was no one. And I'm at the urinal. And I turn around, and there's three black kids. And one of them has a knife.

And he holds the knife up to me. And they said, give us your money. I'm 10 years old. I got a quarter.

I mean, experiences that that change us. I got it. Now. Well, so so so and then they said, if you if you leave, if we because we're going to if we because we're going to go, but we're going to be watching. And if we watch you walk out of the restroom, we will, we will come we're going to come back and catch you. And so I'm, you know, there I am, right? I'm in the bathroom. I'm going to tell you something.

I'm 61 years old. I still have an issue going into a public restroom and using the urinal. Like I said, it stays with you.

I've done things I'm ashamed of because of what I've experienced. But it really isn't. It really isn't profiling.

It's survival. I've refused to get on elevators where there's one black man who looks a little dicey. I mean, I just won't do it. Well, so so on here. And so then I went and found an officer to, you know, to report it, right. And he says, Well, look around. And I'm like, okay, he says, Well, how many you know, how many black kids do you see?

So what's that? Just a bunch of them? Okay, well, what do you want me to do? Well, I don't know, I just said something should be done. You know what, just go back to your seat. And that was and that was that was the end of it.

You got to get killed to get anyone's attention. That was that was the end of it. That was that was the end of it.

Now, I'll tell you, I, I have no issue, truly. With you know, I was I was in I was also in holy hip hop for five years. I actually helped to break artists on to secular stations. Because my my holy hip hop show a dose of the ghost got on to secular stations across the country, some some in pretty big markets. And several artists got deals with record labels like Universal and so forth. Because their agents were able to say, Hey, my guy is getting a play on on this station.

And so that gave them the clout to get the deal. And I'll never forget, when I first got started, it was called a dose of the ghost. I was in Stockton, California. And they were having an inner city urban conference. And the head of it had heard me on the radio. And so they they contacted the radio station and wanted me to come. Now I had a recording studio. And we had a portable board.

They didn't have sound equipment. So so I had my guy call, my staff was all black. So they contacted them made the arrangements went down there did the setup.

It was our speakers, our sound system, our everything, run by my black staff. Now I show up. Well, I walked in and I'm like, and and and and, you know, I'm supposed to emcee the event. And it's like, well, who are you? I'm like, well, I'm, I'm, I'm Greg Young. And they're like, I'm like, well, I'm, I'm, I'm Greg Young. And they're like, No, you're not. And I'm like, Yeah, have a seat over there. So they said, So then they're talking.

And then the lead cloud comes out. And she goes, Excuse me, I'm sorry. So who are you? And I said, I'm Greg Young. And they said, Well, I don't believe you.

And I said, You're listening to a dose of the ghost. And she's like, Oh, hold on a minute. And she goes back again. And then they come back. And they're like, You're not what we expected. We're, we're gonna have to give you a kind of a, we're so sorry, but we're gonna have to give you kind of a diminished role. You can't emcee this event.

Wow. And and and I'm like, Okay, because my crew was black. They're using my equipment.

If it wasn't for my equipment, they don't have an event. Now, I could have gotten all tweaky about it. But I was like, it's cool. I get it. I understand. I'm not, you know, it's just it.

I mean, it is what it is. And so they let me be on stage. I mean, through through the whole event. It was like a three day event. And I think I was up there for like 15 minutes. It's like about five minutes.

Yeah, you know, great cooperation, but but they but but now I did bring, you know, one of the talent that I brought was a was a white guy named Steve Miller, who's a strong man, who was Evander Holyfield's personal pastor. And he does a bit where he holds two motorcycles together as they try to go north and south. And and takes a frying pan and rolls it with his hands. And then and then gets in between two beds and nails and takes one of those hot water things you know that you would put at your feet and blows it up and makes it explode.

That sounds great. Yeah. Oh, it was cool.

It was it was it was a really it was, you know, it was an amazing thing. I only shared it because again, it you know, it it we all have these kinds of challenges that we've experienced or gone through or what have you, we can let those things impact us to the point of creating prejudices. And I agree with you, look, you know, whether he's whether they're black, whether they're Hispanic, you see a white dude that has, you know, a certain level of certain dressing and tats and this and that and the other.

And you're going to be you're going to be watching that guy just as much you're going to watch anybody else. It just so happens that that there is a greater percentage and now they're they're they're training kids in school. And they're reading, if you will, by their by the ideology, the idea that that that there needs to be this hate.

They want to race war, which is exactly what they're creating. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I mean, I hate to be the white guy who who prefaces any sort of criticism of black people with, you know, of course, I'm not racist. You know, of course, I have black friends. I do. I know black dog walkers.

They're wonderful people. I've had two black boyfriends. I think black is beautiful, baby. But I just there are there is a certain subset of black people and you have to be careful. You do. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's it's a it's a it's it's a challenge the world that we are that we are living in. There's no question about it. And I think I I'm going to suggest that I think that it goes back to an understanding of the value of life.

Sure. Because it once we removed God from the equation of the idea of valuing life. And we said, there is no intrinsic value in life. Now, your life, my life, their life, whoever's life we're talking about, doesn't have any value anymore. Unless unless subjectively, we want to give it value. It's about respect for life in general.

And it's not, I mean, it's about equal rights, too. But it's ultimately about respect for, for life. That's what it's come down to. You're right. Yeah, yeah.

Well, I think so. And and I, you know, I believe that the only way that we that we write the ship is we've got to get, you know, God's values back back into it. You know, you you have a choice of of how you want to live your life.

And, and, and I, you know, we all do, everybody has the has the right to that. But once once we institute things, that create laws, that then cause, you know, this, this is where I think that our children are getting run over. And why we're saying the things that we're seeing happen to kids in schools. Well, like I said, I think a lot of my beliefs are, were instilled early on when I was an altar boy. I mean, I don't, I'm not a conscious practice or religion, but that may have had something to do with how I view life and notions of right and wrong.

I don't, I don't believe that you need religion for that. But that's just my opinion. No. Yeah, we, you know, it's interesting. And we, you know, we could talk about that sometime.

Wait, I, I, we were just talking about that in the last segment. It's not a, it's not a religion, it's a relationship. But God has given us the opportunity to have a relationship through his son, Jesus Christ. And, and the the notion of sin, the the understanding of what sin is, which we don't teach anymore, is the black hole. That really is what sucks life out of us. At the end of the day. And what God has done is, is he's given us a solution to the things that destroy our lives, and freedom from it. And it's in our nature, it's in our nature. Jesus says that in John chapter three, after he says, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him would not perish, but have everlasting life. He then goes on to say, I didn't come to judge the world.

Why? Because the world has already been judged. The world's already made its decision. And when light is presented to the world, man chooses darkness, rather than light, because he's made, he's been made comfortable in that darkness. But God's got a better plan. And God's got a better purpose. I sure hope so. I believe it.

I believe it. I believe that, you know, and because I, I believe that the the sexual lifestyle is a draw to fill a hole that only God can actually fill. And God wants to transform all of our nature and put us in alignment with him. Because there's greater fulfillment.

He wants us to experience his love in a way that we can't experience it. So long as that other nature has a hold of and control of our lives. And I absolutely believe it. I died three times. I took a trip to heaven. I've seen the other side.

I know it's real. And I, and I know that God does love every single child that's living and drawing breath today. But I also know that he has requirements that are, that bring us into salvation. And we can't get there of our own volition. We can only open ourselves up and say, God, save me.

And that's what Jesus Christ came to do. And if he was an unfair God, then we wouldn't then we wouldn't have that pathway. We wouldn't have that opportunity. I think we have responsibility though. Oh, there's, I don't, I don't disagree with you. Absolutely.

We, we do have. There's, he has given us choice, and he's given us personal responsibility for how we should live out those choices. It's, it's not, it's not check your brain. It's, it's, it's, it's engaged your intellect in a pragmatic, logical way.

When you look at the Old Testament, and you look at what was, what surrounded what ultimately became Israel, and, and what they were doing to themselves and to their neighbors, then you begin to pragmatically understand why God said, God said, this is clean. This is unclean. This is healthy. This is unhealthy. If you do this, your, your nation will thrive.

You'll be healthier, happier. I mean, Constantine selected Christianity after having almost decimated Christianity because Christians were the healthiest. They were the most productive. They were the most respectful.

They were the ones that were actually keeping Rome alive. Istanbul is one of my favorite places in the world. I love it. I, I have not been there, but I understand that it's beautiful. It's lovely. And I have a real thing for Islamic architecture. There's an incredible, incredible simplicity and beauty to it.

It's, it's magnificent. That's what I do when I go there. I walk around, there are over 200 mosques.

I visit them all just to look at the architecture. Yeah. Yeah. And I wish I had your faith, sir. I really do.

I mean, I really do. I, I want, I, Michael, with your permission, I'm going to be praying for you. Okay. If that would be okay. Sure. And, and when we get off here, I will give you my personal number and make myself available to you to have any conversations you'd like to have. I'd love to talk some more. Thank you.

Absolutely. All right, folks, I'm going to sign off for the day. God bless you all. God bless you for this weekend.

Be sure and check out, by the way, on Rumble, our Children's Generation radio show. Yesterday, we did our service in India that we do each and every Thursday. The report back that I have is, is that we had 43 people that gave their lives to Christ, 27 people that reported being healed instantly. There were people that were breast with prophetic words. Let's see, one brother who had fallen was having trouble sitting.

That was a word God gave me. He said, somebody has fought, took a fall and is having issues. And the Lord said, you're, you're healed. There was a person that came forward and said they had taken a fall and they were having trouble sitting. And they were, they were instantly healed.

No more pain. Another brother who had a whip, whiplash pain because he'd fallen in a toilet was healed. Two sisters were touched. They believe that God had opened up their wombs. We have another story from one of our earlier meetings where a couple had come, Hindu couple, a husband and wife. I had shared my story about how I died four times and God brought me back from the dead.

I died three times on the, once at the scene, three times on the operating tables, over five days and 17 surgeries, 34 broken bones. And as I was leading them in the prayer to salvation, she had been told she was barren, could not have children. But she said in her mind, if you're the God who raised this pastor from the dead, then surely you are the God who can put life in my womb. Five days later, she came back and she said, pastor, I just tested positive. I'm pregnant.

I, I have pictures of her now three-year-old son. God moves. Another sister was suffering from severe breast pain. God healed her.

A 14 year old boy had difficulty with hearing in his left ear. God opened his ear. Two other sisters were having evil attacks that caused severe head pain. God touched both of them. Another brother was hurt on his backbone, suffering with a severe pain since he was seven years old. God healed him.

And then many more talked about joint pain, head pain, back pain. And again, we give all glory to God, all glory to God. So you can check out the service. It's up on rumble. You can watch what God did.

And, and I believe that God will do the same for those that watch the program as well. All right. Um, I'm out for the weekend. I'll be back on Monday. Love y'all. God bless you. We'll talk soon.
