You're going to find it instructive. This is Michael Brown. It is thoroughly Jewish Thursday. I am so thrilled to be on the air with you. Thanks for taking the time to listen and join me.

If you have a Jewish-related question of any kind, Jewish related, Israel related, Hebrew related, Judaism related, Middle East related. Question of any kind that fits on Thurly Jewish Thursday, give me a call. Remember to call is 866-34TRUTH. That's 866-348-7884. In a few minutes, I'm going to be doing a one-time-only, unscheduled giveaway.

So, you'll be able to call in for that. Just going to be one shot at it. The first one that gets it right is going to get a Jewish book of mine.

So that's coming in a moment. No one has any idea what it is because I didn't tell anybody in advance. Thought just hit me earlier today. We're going to do that. We're going to talk about this week's Torah portion and the reading from the prophetic books and the significance of that.

And a lot of Jewish related news having to do with President elect Donald Trump. And then a question I'm going to put out for you, but I want you to mull over. If you are Hispanic If you are a person of color, Okay. If you are a Muslim If you're an ethnic minority, Do you feel that the hostility towards Donald Trump From many circles now, the protests, the riots, the the students crying in schools and colleges canceling classes. Do you think that that is a result of the media stirring people up to a frenzy and agitators stirring people up and and giving uh a false impression of who the man is so that that the left is now suffering for The hysterical images it's created?

Or do you think that based on who Donald Trump has been and what he said, That those types of fears are justified on some level. I want you to think about it. And we'll come back to that. All right, so. There's a joke that's told.

About Different scientists from several different countries that went over to India. to study the Indian elephant. German scientist. a French scientist, an American scientist. an Israeli scientist.

And after one year of study in India, they then went back to their respective countries. and worked on putting together a book that they were going to release. on their study of the Indian elephant.

So after several years of hard work the German scientist Put out a book called 100 Ways to Systematically Analyze the Indian Elephant.

Now, if you know things about German scholarship, very systematic, very analytical, point A, point B, point C, and sometimes that's part of the German personality. The French scientist, after years of hard work, put out His book on the romantic life of the Indian elephant. Oh yeah. French. And the American scientist, after years of hard work, put out his book, How to Make a Bigger and Better Elephant.

Yeah, is that America or what? The Israeli scientist, after years of hard work, then put out his book, The Indian Elephant and the Jewish Problem. You say I don't get it. Others are laughing. Others are like, I don't get it.

Everything sometimes through the Jewish mind because of our history. has to do with all right, how does this affect the Jews? How does this affect the Jews and the way the world is going to treat the Jews and, quote, the Jewish problem? And that insightful little joke ties in with something very serious that I'll talk to you about when we come back. It's the line of fire with your host, Dr.

Michael Brown. Get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34 TRUTH. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Welcome back to the line of fire.

This is Michael Brown. It is my great joy to be with you, 866-34TRUTH on this thoroughly Jewish. Thursday. Check out my latest article. Go to our website, thelineoffire.org, our radio website, thelineoffire.org, and you will see it as my latest article.

Here come the charges of racism and sexism. I think you'll find it very interesting. I think that you will absolutely affirm it as you read it.

So again, that is on thelineofire.org, right on the homepage, recent articles. You'll find it there. All right. Before I take your Jewish-related calls. And I'm going to do the giveaway, not this segment, but the next one.

And we're going to tie it in with this week's Torah portion. November 9th and 10th of 1938. or known as Christamach, the Knight of Broken Glass. This was the time that many historians believe. was the beginning of the Holocaust.

And it was at this time that Nazi officers, Nazi henchmen, did what Martin Luther had counseled in 1543, but had never been acted on. They destroyed Jewish places of business. uh set synagogues on fire. Did tremendous damage, beat up many Jews, some were killed. And it was also a test case to see how the populace would respond.

And basically, the populace did nothing, and then it was clear. You've got carte blanche. No one's going to stop you from your murderous intents. And. There were actually Lutheran leaders then who were so apostate that they were thrilled to see the synagogues burning the morning of November 10th when they got up.

Why was that significant?

Well, November 10th is the birthday of Martin Luther. They thought how appropriate, because they knew him as a great anti-Semite.

Well I say all that not just to say that's what today is, November 10th. But we posted on our Facebook page in commemoration of Kristallnacht a meme.

So it was a graphic. It was a picture of what happened there. And then just with a brief description. And it's amazing. I don't normally get to look at comments on Facebook.

I was glancing at one post and it had, I think, over 1,200 comments just on one post. And we put up dozens and dozens of posts a week. I hadn't even read any of those comments. I'd love to read every one, but just can't. But the Kristaloth one, it just had a handful of comments, a few dozen.

And I began to go through them because I know what happens. Immediately, the Jew haters come out. immediately at a time like that. They begin to come out, they begin to bash, they begin to say what they have to say. And it's the fault of the Jews, or this or that, or some other backhanded way.

And then some.

sought to tie that into Donald Trump now being president. And as my friend Rabbi Shmuly Botayach said in an article on TheHill.com, of all the dumb things said about Donald Trump during the campaign, by far the nastiest and most defamatory was that he was an anti-Semite. This meanest of libels would have had us believe that Trump hates his own daughter, who is Jewish, and his three Jewish grandchildren.

Now that he is president, elect supporters of Israel are looking optimistically toward a renewed American relationship with the Jewish state. In fact, let's listen to the words of Prime Minister Netanyahu as he congratulates. Donald Trump.

Now, he would have congratulated Hillary Clinton, and I believe he would have been friendly towards her and positive. He conspicuously stayed out of any comments about the election this time, and from what I read, did not allow his people to get involved in making comments. But just a brief clip from what he had to say. Number three. President-elect Trump.

My friend. Congratulations on being elected President of the United States of America. The music is ours. The music was mine entirely. Yeah, I know.

I played it at the wrong time. Yeah, my bad. But I just wanted you to hear what he had to say.

So it's just fascinating. We will post something about the Holocaust, and it's almost like it draws out the anti-Semites. And then there are some who are not anti-Semitic, but they've just got really twisted theology or twisted ideas, and they'll post what they have to post. In fact, I haven't even looked at that post on Facebook in a little while. There may be other things that I will want to delete.

So Um it's interesting. Jew hatred is is here. I don't mean everywhere. I grew up not around anti-Semitism. My friends I went to school with, we were just, everybody hung out with each other, Jew and Gentile together.

I lived in a community that was virtually all Jewish. And the other kids lived in communities that referred to the old Gentile. We were just separated by a little bridge. We went to the same school, we hung out, we had friends. I mean, it's all interactive friends.

There were really no divisions among us over that, so I didn't grow up in the midst of anti-Semitism. The church in which I came to faith had a great love for Israel and the Jewish people. I've experienced that for decades around the world. I have wished on numerous occasions I could take rabbi friends with me, counter missionaries and others, and have them meet Christians around the world who have prayed for Israel for years and who have loved the Jewish people. A wish because it's what I've run into all around the world.

Yet I understand at the same time. that there is a satanic desire to destroy the Jewish people. because of God's purposes. Not because Jewish people are better than anybody else, but because of God's purposes and because the Messiah himself is Jewish and because he will not return until the Jewish Jerusalem welcomes him back. And if Satan could wipe out the Jewish people, he would make God into a liar.

Because God's guaranteed that the Jewish people will be here until the end of the age. And the Jewish people play a key role in welcoming back the Messiah.

So the devil has many reasons to want to wipe out the Jewish people aside from his general hatred for human beings.

So, it doesn't take much to provoke things and for anti-Semitism to be stirred up. Thankfully, America has has Welcome Jewish people from its earliest days, the days of George Washington, reaffirming that as our first president, and obviously the Jews welcomed in the country before that. There was a respect for Israel and the Hebrew scriptures among many of the founders. And John Adams had amazing things to say as just one example. And uh you have A good history with America and the modern state of Israel, although in the last eight years that relationship has been challenged, hence Rabbi Shrouli writing about a renewed American relationship with the Jewish state.

But let's just understand there's a real devil out there, and there are a lot of people that hate Jews. It doesn't take much. You don't have to scratch that surface much for stuff to come up. Shmuly wrote, For those of us in the United States who care about Israel and have fought its battles in the public arena, it's been a miserable few years. The Obama administration's naked hostility towards Israeli policies left us bruised and always in the defensive.

Yes. President Obama did a lot of good for Israel that should not go unmentioned, including military and financial support. But he also cultivated an air of never-ending hostility with Israel's leaders and singled Israel out for repeated criticism and pressure while allowing 400,000 innocent Arabs to die in neighboring Syria without. Lifting. A finger.

And on and on it goes.

So there is hope and optimism for a better relationship with a President Trump. 866-348-7884. Let me go to the phones. We'll start in Miami, Florida. Jason, welcome to the line of fire.

Hey, doctor Brown. Thank you for taking my call and Thank you so much for you and your ministry team. Pray for you and I'm really appreciative to be able to speak to you again.

Well thank you. You know, I did hear, just to answer quickly your question for the audience, I did hear that George Soros was funding moveon.org to Prompt the protests. But that wasn't.

Well, yeah, well, sir, listen, I don't want to be conspiratorial, but it seems George Soros and his radical left-wing funding are behind a lot of bad things that happen in America and around the world. And again, you don't want to draw conclusions from fringe groups on either side, on the right or on the left, that are protesting or saying things. You don't want to draw conclusions about the rest of America. But anyway, we'll come back to that as the show goes on. Your question for today.

Yes. I was reading in Jeremiah, and the Lord speaks about Through Jeremiah, how Babylon will be desolate. Uh Forgive me, I don't have the scripture verse. Uh I believe it's in Jeremiah 51. Yeah, Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51 speak with extraordinary clarity about the coming destruction on Babylon, warning the Jewish people to get out and flee while there is an opportunity.

And yeah, so the question is, did it happen or not? Yeah, did it happen? And also, was it meant to be an everlasting destruction? Or is that. Yeah, yeah, if you could.

So it's a calamitous destruction. It's going to be a horrific destruction because of the evil Babylon did. And some of the other prophets weighed in on this as well. But Jeremiah two whole chapters and it it seals his book. No, it did not happen.

In fact, instead of a war, Basically, the gates were just open to the Persian conquerors, and there had been turmoil because priests of a particular god were not happy with the way things were going. And basically, just all right, we surrender, take over.

So it was almost bloodless. It was the opposite. of what Jeremiah and the other prophets prophesy. Which either means He's a false prophet. Or The people repented and God had mercy.

Or there remains a future fulfillment. I'll answer that on the other side of the break. Hey friends, this is Michael Brown. I want to encourage you to join our support team today. Become a torchbearer, one of our regular monthly supporters that enables us to broadcast the line of fire around America and around the world.

And oh, every month we sell back into you in many, many different ways. Join our team, become a torchbearer. Go to AskDr. Brown, A-S-K-D-R-Brown.org, and click on Donate. It's fire we want, for fire we It's the line of fire with your host, Dr.

Michael Brown. Get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34TRUTH. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. It's a slap in the face that you have a man who's outrightly a bigot.

You have folks in America who deeply, deeply hate black people, who hate immigrants, who hate people of color, who hate Muslims, who hate people of different sexual orientations. And now you have this fool going to be leading the country. This is Michael Brown. That is a video on Facebook going viral. A lot of Americans feel that way towards Donald Trump.

A lot of things got grouped together. Blacks. gays, Muslims, so you've got a religion. You've you've got sexual desires and romantic attractions, and you've got skin color.

So you have three completely disparate Groups there. But And theoretically it could be all of the above or One or two of the above, right? But Do you feel that those sentiments Are not a surprise given who Donald Trump is and what he said? Or do you feel? That those sentiments are a result of the media sound biting Donald Trump, misrepresenting Donald Trump.

painting his followers in the worst light. You know, you say, well, the KKK endorsed him.

Well, the KKK endorses presidents all the time. Immediately, the Trump campaign renounced that and utterly renounced the publication, the hate, and everything behind it. But the KKK endorsed Ronald Reagan. Whoever, what kind of fringe crazy groups endorsed Hillary Clinton? What is an issue is not who endorses you, but whose endorsement you accept or celebrate or thank them for or don't repudiate.

But but what do you think? What do you think? 866-34TRUTH.

Now, I want to be fair. The phone lines have been jammed and I was going to do a giveaway.

So I'm going to come back to answer Jason's question and then I'm gonna tell you what the little riddle is. If you get the answer. You get a free book, 60 Questions Christians Ask About Jewish Beliefs and Practices. But here's the deal: if you're on hold. And you're sitting down, and you could take your Bible out and look at this while you're on hold.

Go ahead and do it. And otherwise, we just have limited space for call-in, but number 866-342.

So here's the little riddle for you, all right? This week's Torah portion, so read in synagogues around the world, be read on this Saturday, this Sabbath. is called Leklika. Which means uh Go with respect to yourself. Get up and go.

It's God's words to Abram. to leave his father's homeland and to go to the land God will show him. Starting in Genesis 12, 1 and up through 17, 27.

So this has him in the land and the circumcision covenant and things like that. 12, 1 to 17, 27. All right. So it focuses on Abram, Abraham is calling to the land and God's covenant with him. And then the portion that's read from the prophets.

is Isaiah 40, 27. to Isaiah forty one sixteen. Why? Why was that passage chosen? Isaiah 40, 27.

to 4116.

Now, you might look at it and say, well, it says God's sovereign over the nations, and He rules and reigns. There's something very simple, very specific in it. as to why that passage in particular. Isaiah 40, 27 to 41, 16. Why is that chosen as the passage to read in the synagogue along with?

The weekly Torah portion, Genesis 12:1 to 17:27. If you have an answer for that, so you're on hold for another subject, we'll take your call, but you can weigh in if you want to vote. If you don't want to vote, if you don't have an idea, that's just fine. 866-34Truth.

Okay, so at Jason in Miami. I had to wrestle with the Jeremiah prophecy because I wrote a commentary on it. What are you going to say?

So. You have his other prophecies against the nations beginning in chapter 46.

So 46 through 49 deals with prophecies against other nations, then 50-51 reserved for Babylon, and God paying back Babylon for all the evil it did. Towards the Jewish people, yes, God raised up Babylon to discipline, but as always happens, the discipliners went too far and overdid what God desired and inflicted all kinds of cruel punishment and then were arrogant and therefore had to be judged.

So. Uh Did the Babylonians repent? Jeremiah 18, if he pronounces judgment, people repent, he'll withhold the judgment. If he pronounces blessing and they fall into sin, he'll withhold the blessing. Did they repent.

There's no evidence that they did.

So that possibly doesn't work.

Next possibility: well, Jeremiah must be a false prophet then because what he said didn't come to pass. Problem. All the other stuff he said came to pass about the destruction of the temple, about the exiling of the people, about the return from exile after 70 years, about the rebuilding of the temple. All the things that he said would happen after that did happen, and it's part of the Bible.

So that then leads us. with the other possibility. that it is still something to come. And the book of Revelation now takes this theme up where Babylon represents the world system or world power or something else like that and speaks of the fall of Babylon.

So you kind of have a reverse thing here, Jason, that because Jeremiah is a true proven profit. Because Jeremiah is a true proven prophet, We now say that these words that didn't come to pass then must ultimately come to pass. Will it be physical Babylon? Will it be spiritual Babylon? Will it be that exact part of the world which is now Iraq?

Those are debatable things. But what is not debatable is that the word doesn't return void. And even though you would have bet your bottom dollar that that was going to happen then. The fact that the prophecies before it came to pass and the prophecies after it came to pass, and that Jeremiah is recognized as a proven prophet and his Uh book is the longest book in the Bible. Uh word-wise.

then we have to say, okay, this is yet to be fulfilled. And that's how I understand it as I read it.

Okay. What's the name of your commentary? It's available, right? Oh, yes, yes, it's 550 pages. It's the revised edition of the Expositor's Bible Commentary.

The original one had a commentary by Charles Feinberg, but for some years now, about 10 years or so, volumes came out, the revised edition. Of the Expositors Bible Commentary. And I'm in the volume. It's Jeremiah plus Lamentations plus Ezekiel.

So those are by other scholars, but the bulk of the volume is my Jeremiah commentary. And I had the joy of working on that for years. I think you'll find it beneficial.

So the revised edition of the Expositors Bible Commentary, edited by Tremper Logman and David Garland. All right? Great. Thank you, Dr. Brown.

God bless you. God bless you. All right, 866-34TRUTH. I'm going to have these phones open for 90 more minutes. I want to invite all of you.

To continue listening, if you can on your radios, just go to my website, thelineoffire.org, and click on listen or Just catch up later in the day by going to the website. thelineoffire.org and you'll be able to listen on the show is archived and you can also subscribe by podcast. Remember, we've got tons of free resources. I think you'll enjoy my latest article. Here come the charges of racism and sexism.

Also, my article on Donald Trump, President of the United States, by the sovereign intervention of God. We'll be right back. It's the line of fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution.

Get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34TRUTH. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Thanks for joining us on the line of fire. Oh, this is a sweet article.

Uh, with thecontrail.com, not familiar with this site on this thirdly Jewish Thursday. Donald Trump, the Zionist puppet and crusader/slash Rothschild, etc. Donald Trump is a Zionist agent. and member of the occult and has been since birth He was born into a rich family, and at 18, he was going to meetings with a Rockefeller. Trump has ties to the Rothschild family.

And Rockefeller is because he's related to them. His daughter dated Nat Rothschild. Obama's job is not over, and Donald Trump is playing the other side of the race game like a good crusader for the Vatican and Rothschild state of Israel. and on and on it goes Trump is a friend of the Rothschilds. Trump's daughter Ivanka dated Nat Rothschild, the next inline Zionist godfather of the fake Jews.

who inherit the Rothschild gazillions. Yeah, there's all kinds of crazy stuff out there, isn't there? And Mayor Near Barcott. uh the mayor of Jerusalem. sent a congratulary a congratulatory letter to President-elect Donald Trump.

But he reminded him of his promise to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Quote: In your term as president, I'm confident that you will continue to empower our city by reaffirming its sovereignty and moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Come on, man.

Mr. Trump, this is a promise you made. I know other presidents have said they're going to do it. They didn't do it. But you made the promise, and we're expecting you to keep the promise.

Yeah, I know there's going to be more flack for doing it, but come on. We expect you to do it. 866-34TRUTH.

All right, so let's talk for a moment about Donald Trump. Do you feel that the media is putting a negative spin on things and making Trump into a monster? And that's why there's the hysteria? Or do you feel that? There's enough that he said in his campaign that he can be quoted.

You can play clips of him speaking, and the fears are justified. You're thinking, man, what's going to happen to me? Am I going to be deported? Am I going to be executed or something? What do you think?

866-348-7-884. Let's start in Indianapolis, Indiana. Jessica, welcome to the line of fire. Hi, Dr. Mike.

I I love your show. Thank you. Can you hear me? Oh, yes.

Okay, okay, good, because I just turned it up. And I love you. I want you to know that I do love you. You have made me so aware of the Jewish people. You know, I'm an African-American, but.

With Jewish people, I it was either here nor there with me because I always just thought they were blessed.

So I've It wasn't a hate or a love. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just no big deal. No big deal.

Just no big deal. But now it is to me. But here's what I want to say. In line with what you're talking about with Donald Trump, because I read your article on Facebook and I really I got mad at you, Dr. Brown, but I can't get mad at you because I love you.

Oh, all right. Tell me what I did to get you mad at me.

Well, the whole article, it was just chewing at my nerves. You know, it just got to a whole lot of stuff. But anyway, here's what I wanted to say to you: was this. As far as the media is concerned and perpet perpetrating and bringing this about, I think. that they did pa play a big part in it, and this is what I want to say.

They play a big part in how we see everybody, not just Trump. Yeah. They play a they play a big part in the fact that everybody thinks that African Americans are the main ones having abortion. and African Americans are mainly killing themselves. I think they're playing a main part in saying that the white people are mainly the oppressors.

you know, and the rich are this and I think the media Is the one they're a spin on everybody? It's not just Trump. It's in all statistics and all things that we see. It's not just about I think it's I think they had a I think they had a had something to do with the way we viewed Hillary and her emails and the way we view Israel and the way we view I think they have a spin on how we view everything. It's not just Trump.

Now as far as the African American view of Trump, personally speaking, I heard him say, I watched his mouth move, and he said he wanted, he thinks that Mayor Rudy's old. All right, no, stay right there. You were perceptive to hear the music. I'm going to come back to you on the other side of the break. Hey, Jessica, I love your spirit.

Thank you. We'll be right back. It's the line of fire with your host, Dr. Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr.

Michael Brown. Ah! In case you forgot. That's Thoroughly Jewish Thursday. Unless you're listening to this delayed on podcast or on my website, you hear that music, you know when it is.

Thoroughly Jewish Thursday. If you're listening in another part of the world that's way ahead of us, an hour as well, it's Thorne. Friday morning for you, but for the rest of us. Thoroughly Jewish Thursday. I want to get right back to Jessica in a very important conversation.

I put this question out, and phone lines immediately got jammed. With the fact you've got. College campuses where their professors are meeting with the students to comfort them. You had a walkout of high school in California and other campuses canceling classes yesterday because students were too traumatized to show up and riots, traffic stopping riots in some cities because Donald Trump. being President elect.

Is that the result of his rhetoric? He has only himself to blame? Is that the result of the media inflaming things or taking things out of context or twisting things?

So I wrote an article that said, here come the uh charges of racism and sexism. And I said, of course, racism and sexism exist, but I think you have it on all sides of the issue. My own take, and I'm sharing this because Jessica, our caller, referenced my article. And then I asked this question, which is this. If you're African American, this is not to debate.

I'm trying to understand. If you're African American, one thing if you're Muslim or Hispanic or an immigrant, right? But if you're African American, what has Donald Trump said or done to threaten or upset you, meaning as a black American? Al Sharpton says that, quote, we're not going down without a fight. Again, a serious question.

How is Donald Trump trying to take you down?

So, again, I'm trying to understand. I'm going to go right to Jessica. Before I do, Janet Boynes, who's been on the air with me, will be back on soon, former lesbian and a black Christian leader. She said, Dr. Brown, that is a great question.

Let me answer. Trump has done nothing to the African-American community. As a black person and a black woman who refuses to follow the status quo, we do more of following to fit in than leading to standout. I have stood on my own and not followed the black crowd and so I have been called hater that I'm not black and a traitor to the black community. This is why we can't get ahead in life, because Sharpton wants to keep the blacks down in the hood and make them feel that they can't make it without him.

He should be lifting up the black community, but he needs them to need him. He's an idiot, and I'm tired of it. That's Janet's perspective and I Nancy By the way, she ultimately did vote for Trump, but really, barely, barely did. and remains deeply concerned, but ultimately did vote for him. And she posted that yesterday, that's why I can share it.

She feels That I don't fully understand the weight of Trump's words and maybe he didn't express himself well or what he said in certain ways, the fear that's going to put in people. I've said so we're having a lively discussion about this even as of today. I say, yeah, I know he said things that weren't wise or that were inappropriate. We're not talking about the junk stuff, but just, you know, policy, whatever, but that the media is turning things into frenzy. Jessica has wisely said the media is.

Turns everything into a frenzy and pits people against people, but now was about to weigh in with her perspective on Trump as an. African-American Jessica, thank you for waiting so patiently through the break and through my little setup here.

So you started to say, you heard him say Rudy Giuliani, and then that's when we got cut off by the music.

So go ahead.

Well, Yeah, what it is Uh, can you hear me? Yeah. Okay. What it is he said was That he had no problem. He said he thought that they should bring back stop and frisk.

like they had in New York.

Now I went and looked that up and found out about the stock and fricks, which they do that here. I mean, you know. Uh You know, my son is an African American, his friend is an African-American, they said they've been stopped so many times. One or his friend decided to get a a cheaper car just to keep him from I'm stopping him. You know, but the thing about it is, is this.

Uh The stop and press thing they proved that it was racially biased. And Trump goes on to say it brought down crime. He did a wonderful job, yada, yada, yada, yada. It brought down a certain type of crime, but in no ways near what brought down all crime, but they were targeting certain people. And so, you know, one of the things that I also think about the media, the media can be good, and the media can be bad.

Yeah. You know, a as an African American The things that African Americans are complaining about, they've been complaining about for years. It's just now they're starting to get a lot of stuff on film. I mean, you know, I'm talking about. The other thing about this, I wanted to point this out, and then I'm going to let you go, Dr.

Mike, is this. When we talk about sexism, when we talk about racism, we talk about that. It really makes no difference if I'm a sexist. Only place it's going to make any difference is like I'm raising my son, or it's going to make a difference to God because I have no power. I have no power over nobody.

I own nothing. You know, and I'm not in I'm not in a place of leadership. But when you go into a place of leadership and you have this view, And you have these ideas is because you have power over people. It makes no difference if a racist is a racist, if he has no power. But when you have power...

And that means police officer, that means judge, that means mayor, that means governor, that means anybody.

Well, you can affect my livelihood. Even if you're a realtor, if you can stop me from living in a place. because you are a racist, then that's when it becomes important. But people have you know, I believe there's a little bit of Something in everybody, everybody has their own beliefs, and everybody has their own qualms about their own issues. Right, the question is: right, what can we do with it?

Yeah, and I'm yeah, I'm just jumping in just because I want to try to get to some other callers. Look, you have your voice. We just amplified it being on radio, so many more people could hear that.

So I have my voice amplified through radio writing.

So if you and I have the same opinion, My opinion can have more influence for good or for bad because of the platform. If I'm the president of the United States, All the more, or a parent versus a kid, right? I tell you what, we could discuss some of the specifics. But I don't want to get sidetracked and I don't want to take away from anything that you said. I just want to leave it there.

And Appreciate your calling and appreciate you love. Even when you get mad at me, you can't stay mad because you love me.

So, thank you, Jessica. I appreciate it. Think of what would happen if the media's whole goal. was to bring Americans together. Can you imagine that?

What the news would sound like? Yeah, it pretty wild, huh? 866-348-7884. Let's go to Kit. No, we won't go there.

Uh let us go to Joseph. We won't go there. We'll give it one more shot. Um Let's see. Let's well, tell you what.

One more shot. Let's go to Ann in Huntersville, North Carolina. I'm here. I'm here. Yeah, go ahead.

Go ahead. I just wanted to say I've been enjoying the little that I have heard, but the liberal media, as far as I'm concerned, and politicians and world powers and godless institutions that have really poisoned the minds of so many, obviously, I voted for Trump, but I feel like he won by God's grace against the most insurmountable odds. I always say, what are the odds? God's odds. Uh w we all know the thing that gets me, Michael, on this Early Jewish Thursday, as we all know, Trump is an imperfect man, but there has only been one perfect, and that's Jesus Christ.

And the heroes of the Bible, I think, we forget. How imperfect they were. And God chose them, and they did some very heinous things. We are all imperfect, and may I just say, we really, all of us Christians, need to pray as never before. We need to get off our little self-righteous high horse and continue to pray for Trump, his team, his family, his wisdom.

I mean, this is the time to pray as never before, because it's a violent time, the violent take it by force. And that's just my humble opinion. Yeah, well, thank you for weighing in. Much appreciate it. And listen, I have an issue.

When people want to compare Donald Trump to King David, well, King David was a man after God's own heart, and he committed adultery and murder as a king. Right, right. But he had a whole history of being a man after God's own heart. And he ultimately repented deeply. He ultimately repented.

to write Psalm 51 when confronted.

So it's not just, and when 2 Chronicles talks about him, it speaks of him as a, or 1 Chronicles as a man after God's own heart, except for this matter. which is very glaring matter. And as king, you know, he could snap his fingers and do stuff that we couldn't do with all of our power and might. But it it is a point well taken. that God's used very flawed people.

And look at the history of Israel, and yet he brings the Redeemer. Through our flawed history, I thank you for the call. Much appreciated. 866-348-3633. Seven eight eight.

Uh This is somebody from New York. First of all, let me begin my comment by clearly saying that what I've heard from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ myself, Mr. Michael Brown, isn't an anointed, Holy Ghost-filled man of God. All he is is a radio personality with a title hanging around his neck without the power of Jesus Christ. This is the exact reason why he can't make a groundbreaking, everlasting change in society, nor towards any contribution for humanity, because, first of all, he hides behind the mic, pretending as if he knows or got the answers, when in reality, the man is a complete fool with no Holy Ghost or Jesus Christ residing in him, which represents a good majority of Europeans across the globe.

Oh, is that classic or what? That's a keeper. We'll be right back. Shake the knee. Change the world.

Change the world. Send it along. It's the line of fire with your host, Dr. Michael Brown. Get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34TRUT.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Make me glad. Bye. Jesus Lord.

So I sing for joy at all. Your hands have made How great are your works, O Lord? Elohim Baruch. Thank you, Paul Wilber, for ushering in this segment of our Thirdly Jewish Thursday broadcast. Michael Brown here.

I had mentioned a giveaway we're going to do. I probably have to do it again in the next hour.

So if you're not able to find out what the question was, what the answer was, you can catch it all by going to the lineofire. And when you're there, just listen to today's broadcast. Let us go over to Douglas and Tampa, Florida. Welcome to the line of fire. Oh, hi.

Dr. Brown, you're on a documentary. a while back called the days of Noah. Yeah. You commented on it.

Structure, and I was wondering if. Is there any updates? Is uh do you think it's YARC? Yeah, so there were some folks working in Turkey. And they're Chinese Christians.

And through a guide there, they were referred to. what is believed by some to be the the Noah's Ark. And a friend of mine, Philip Williams, in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, who's devoted years and years to studying this, and then who's worked with Dr. Norman Geisler, the well-known apologist. He he looked into this.

He actually went over there and came back with further footage because of weather they weren't able to get to everything they wanted to. And I I did not um I did not Follow every detail of the latest updates. I met with the folks. A year ago, when they were in Charlotte, some of the Chinese team that was here, and they were involved in the apologetics conference. Dr.

Geisler has never in his life endorsed anything as far as being a legitimate find and thinking that it was actually Noah's Ark. This is the first thing in his life that he endorsed Philip Williams. Actually, came in to say to question things, just kind of to be objective. He has written about issues having to do with the flood, scientific issues worldwide.

So Here's what happened to me. I have I've I have no more way of verifying this than anyone else. In other words, I've never devoted time and effort to it. I know some that say it's a fraud. I know some that say no, it's in another location.

What happened to me as I looked at the footage, I was I was somewhat staggered. Even though I've always believed all my believing life that the flood happened just as the Bible recorded, I've never doubted it, I was staggered. By this sense of reality. That's what I shared: like, oh my, this really happened.

Now, the question is: if it wasn't the ark, How do you get that much wood? That's high on the mountain to build a structure that large that then ends up being encased by ice. And are there aspects of it that would point back to antiquity?

Some of that, I believe, was still being studied. Test it in various ways.

So I don't know that there's more information. Perhaps there is. I don't believe anything has happened thus far that would say it's impossible. It can't be. But let's just say this.

Uh we have good reason to think that there would be something that uh that did remain Of the ark and that would be found at some point. And this, all I would say is, this seriously could be it, but I don't have really any more information. I saw more footage. I spoke to someone after they had physically been there themselves. They were absolutely staggered and overwhelmed.

I'm just not a scholar in that area. I'm not a scientist. I don't know the issues and the possibilities or impossibilities of things. I just know what I saw, and it was pretty staggering. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. I spoke to Philip Williams over the phone and I have his book. um he put a book out. He's putting out another book Yes. End of The way he describes it, um, you would think it has to be the ark.

You know, he says different floors. uh it's buried beneath a lot of volcanic s uh Volcanic uh rocks and snow and ice. at least thirty feet of of snow.

So what else could it be? I mean, yeah, again, I don't have the expertise to tear that apart critically. Uh I I I uh I I don't have that so uh Anyway, yeah, n no new information, but it was staggering for me to see.

So thank you, sir, for your question. Much, much appreciated. 866-34TRUTH.

Is this Kia or Kaya? Kaya? Kaya. All right, Kaya and Charlotte, you're on the broadcast. Thank you for calling.

Oh, hi, Dr. Brown. I wanted to touch on why you asked about Donald Trump. and how that offends African Americans.

Now, um, yeah. Yeah. I think that more than um things that he said to directly offend us, it's more so just um the hate that he shows to any minority group. Because any time you target uh a sma a smaller group, whether that um Lesbians and gays, or Latinos, it affects all of us because hate is contagious.

So the moment people in society feel like it's okay to belittle other people or put them down, it becomes something that's more prevalent. I feel like it's always been in the root of our country or our society. But now people are actually. And there are people who are actually like harassing others and letting it be known that this is how they feel.

So, um. I think that it's fear more than anything that makes people dislike Donald Trump is thinking of where this could lead us in the next few years when it comes to the way that we interact with each other. But it could be good for us In the sense that it actually forces us to heal now.

Now that we see that it's a real issue, we can deal with it. Yeah, and listen, I love your redemptive approach to it, and I think that's a great insight that as a person of color, And a minority in America that when you feel other minorities are being spoken against, that's okay, what about me? And that's a perspective that, say, a majority culture wouldn't feel and experience. You know, when, again, when Al Sharfton, and I'm not, I'm not. Saying that you like him or don't like him, but when he says, you know, we've worked too hard for these goals and he's not going to take them away, I'm thinking, okay, do you mean defunding Planned Parenthood?

Is that a goal? Or, you know, because what someone told me close to him is that when Trump started to see what was happening in the inner cities more, that he really got concerned about it and thought I could do a better job and genuinely cares.

Now, is that true? We'll see. And that's where I think we need to have that heart, Kai. And I appreciate your heart. Let's see.

Donald Trump said he wants to be the president of all the people. And so whoever it is, we got to. Say, okay, let's start with a clean slate. And let's see how you govern. Let's see who you pick to be around you.

Let's see the example you set. Let's see if you consciously seek to undo misperceptions or fix things that you wrongly created as perceptions, and then one to another. We act on those things and say, hey, tell me what the world looks like through your eyes.

So, I can understand better.

So, thank you for the call. Much appreciated. That's why I'm putting these questions out, so that we can all learn and grow together. Remember friends, check out. our resources at askdart2brown.org or we're special extension of our book, Breaking the Stronghold of Fruit.

Check that out on the website. My bottom line, let's talk to each other, let's listen to each other, and let's get before God. All right. President Donald Trump, the Jewish people, the reaction in Israel, that, and a whole lot more on Thurly Jewish Thursday. It's time for the line of fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr.

Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution. Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and president of Fire School of Ministry. Get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34 Truth. That's 866-34 Truth. Here again is Dr.

Michael Brown. What do blacks and Jews have in common? Specifically, did I say specifically? Specifically. What do African Americans and American Jews.

have in common. This is Thurley Jewish Thursday. Michael Brown, my delight to be with you, 866-348-7884. We've got a lot to talk about on the broadcast today. Want to break down some of the demographic with the Jewish vote for Donald Trump.

I want to talk about response in Israel and cover a bunch of other interesting subjects, including the claims of an ultra-Orthodox rabbi who is an expert in so-called Bible codes. He said this before the election that Trump's. Uh Trump's election was predicted in the Bible. and that it would usher in the second coming. Hmm?

An Orthodox rabbi? He doesn't believe in a second coming. Anyway, we'll talk about that. But here's my question. Here's my question.

What do African American Jews And American Jews have in common. What do we have in common?

Well, we're both minorities. Jewish Americans, what? Are we three percent? No, no, hang on. If we're at six million.

And the 300 no so we're what barely 1% would so we're about 2% of the population, African Americans, about 13%.

So we're minorities, Jewish minority, much smaller. On the flip side, The Jewish influence is disproportionate in America. Uh for its population. and we do not have the brutal, terrible history. In this country, that African Americans have, the sufferings they've passed through.

But on the flip side, Jewish history around the world through the ages, we've suffered horrifically in country after country. And in that sense, Jews coming out of Egypt, Israelites coming out of Egypt, a nation of redeemed slaves. and African Americans, a people redeemed from slavery. But there's something else of interest, which is this, which is this.

Okay. Uh overwhelmingly Black Americans vote democratically. They vote for the Democrat candidates. overwhelmingly overwhelmingly Jewish Americans vote for the Democratic candidates.

Now, what's interesting is that Jewish Americans do it primarily because they are very liberal. They are more secular. They're not that religious. Whereas African Americans tend to be more religious. And even though they share the core values of white evangelicals who vote overwhelmingly Republican.

They end up voting Democrat. for various social reasons.

So it's an interesting phenomenon. The Jewish Democrat vote in certain ways is different than the black Democrat vote. On the flip side, There are parallels in that there are certain shared social concerns, but then black Americans would be much more conservative in their beliefs and values than Jewish Americans, except for religious Jews.

So that's how it played out with this last election. Donald Trump got a small minority of the black vote. and a small minority, a little higher, but a small minority of the Jewish vote. The religious Jews would be more the ones who were voting for him. And he also got a very, very high amount of white evangelical vote.

But a smaller amount of black evangelical vote. Again, these are the patterns we've seen. There were some breakthroughs, some changes, but these are the patterns we have seen.

So it's interesting the connection in terms of philosophy or or history. And it's an odd thing. Growing up just in a primarily white suburb of Long Island, that as a believer, I've always had this. Special sense of solidarity for decades with my black brothers and sisters, especially in the church. It's just been interesting, and I thought of it somehow shared history.

All right, we'll come back, go straight to your calls, 866-34TRUTH. It's the line of fire with your host, Dr. Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

No trumpet! No Trump says, No Trump says, No Trump says, No Trump says No Trump's a Trump state who trumps our streets in no fascist USA. No Trump, no K, no fascist USA, no Trump, no KKK, and the Mm-hmm. There you hear some of the protests. against Donald Trump?

Are those being stirred up by the media? Painting him to be an anti-Semite, painting him to be a Muslim hater, hater of minorities. Or is it his own fault? because either he said things Clearly, that were wrong, or he hasn't been careful in what he said, or is it a combination of both? the media provoking things, activist groups stirring up hate.

Uh and and Donald Trump not being careful in his communication or appealing to fears and angers of Americans. What's your take? Especially if you're a minority. Either a minority religion or a minority ethnically. I'd love to hear your perspective.

866-34Truth.

Let's go to Bell in Boston, Massachusetts. Welcome to the line of fire. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Brown.

Um this is my first time calling you. I listen to you all the time. I have great respect for you.

However, in this situation, I, for the life of me, I don't understand. how you can be so strong, such a strong Wrong. supporter Of Mr. Trump. And I just feel like You really can't relate to the black issues.

And so that is really the basis. a a great part of the the the r the um reason. And I mean, I know you talk a lot about Um people trying to understand the Jewish issues and and forth and so on, but I really don't think that you can relate. To Um all the things that Mr. Trump has said have and and plan to do that directly affect black people And you You have no clue.

as to how this can affect black people and I'm just disappointed I just feel really Yeah. Like uh this is this is an area I've that um I wasn't expecting You to go in that direction. Got it. All right, so let's talk this through. Thank you for being a faithful listener and being a faithful friend to speak so candidly.

And obviously, if you listen for years and the first time you're calling in, you must feel this deeply.

So let me first dispel a misunderstanding, and then I want you to help me understand something on my end, okay? Number one, I put out numerous warnings about Donald Trump during the primaries, including videos and articles saying evangelicals should not support him. And I had all my reasons for it. And up until The morning of the election, Uh my wife Nancy was not sure she could vote for him at all because of her many reservations. And as of this morning, our last conversation, she said that the riots, the protests, all that, sure, people are stirring them up, but she fully understands why people feel this way.

This is my wife who's the most important and influential person to me in this world. And it was only a few weeks before the election that I finally decided that I could vote for Donald Trump because I have so many reservations.

So I I've said he could do a lot of harm or he could do a lot of good. It would uh and and we were talking about it today, uh Nancy and I just A few hours ago, that a wrecking ball can take down a good house as well as a bad house.

So I believe he's been raised up by God's sovereign purposes, but will it be to bless America or to judge America? I'm hoping and praying to bless But I understand the concern.

So I I've I'm honestly asking a question. Not in defense of anything. I'm honestly asking a question to say. What Do you feel this is where I'm asking for help to understand something? This is how I learn as you know, as a radio host by listening to my callers.

What do you feel Donald Trump has said? that would directly influence you negatively As a black American. Again, I'm not challenging. I just want. You'd explain that.

What has he actually said? I understand why immigrants could be concerned. I understand why Muslims could be concerned. No argument as to why there would be concern on their end, what his intents are. But please tell me from the African-American perspective what you feel he said.

And again, it's not an argument, I'm listening. All right? Give me your perspective. First of all, Just the fact that the most recent issues before. For us.

have been Uh issue with the police and the killings and the um you know, a lot of people look at it as murder And Um he he had the support of Okay. Yeah. uh the the entire police um uh department in different cities. Got it. And he came on he spoke about that.

He said, And I I can't quote him, but what he was saying in essence was that You know, there's no way that you're gonna be um, challenging the police department and he has all these um plans how he's gonna um You know, got it.

Okay. Yep, yep.

So you feel, especially looking to Rudy Giuliani as an example and things like that, that even though He has he has raised issues like the killing of the black man in Oklahoma. And he questioned immediately and said that maybe this woman choked, maybe she shouldn't have even been on the force or had a gun.

So he seemed to be willing to be fair-minded and want to see justice. And whether his police brutality dealt with it, your feeling would be, man, he's going to turn the police loose. And and there's going to be no accountability.

Okay, I I can understand that. That's his plan. Based on what he has said. And we're just going by what he has said. And I'm just amazed at how How people and how you are falling into this trap of um trying to rationalize all what Mr.

Trump has said and turn it around and try to blame the The media blame everybody else for what this man, this grown man, Yeah. And it's everybody else's fault and it's all kinds of reasons. other reasons why he's saying it other than coming from his heart. And another issue that I'm very concerned about Yeah. is that since Mr.

Trump has been uh has come on the theme. All these hate groups have surfaced, and now they're feeling like they have the back. and they feel like like This is free. for all. And I'm worried about the black men out there and black people in general.

Give me an example of a hate group so I can understand that part. Ku Klux Klan and many, many others that have served And they are now feeling like they can come out. Yeah, but okay, but I mean, he has categorically. Instantly denounced that, denounce the hate, denounce Ku Klux Kane. Instantly, the moment a word was said, instantly his campaign said, We renounce this, we don't want their support.

And remember, it's now documented. That the Clinton campaign sent people into his rallies. It's documented, paid them to go into his rallies as these very people to disrupt them. But let's go back to this point. What you said to me is the same thing Nancy said to me earlier today.

He made the stupid statements, he's responsible. It's understandable how people are reacting. I fully understand how you feel. That's why I asked the question. But help me with this.

We just got a little time before the break, so I'm only gonna give it this last minute. How is it that you feel I'm now defending him When I'm asking the question, I'm asking my listeners, what do you think? Do you think this is the fault of the media?

So I here's my belief. He said stupid things, he said divisive things, he said harmful things, and the media is now stirring things into a frenzy. That's my position.

So how is it that, and again, I'm not debating you. With respect, how is it you feel like I'm now the chief defender of Donald Trump? That's what I'm missing.

Well, how can How can you vote for someone and not defend your position? Mission. Ah.

Okay. You you've made a posit you've You chosen a position and a Of course you're gonna Reasons why you went that way. And how are you not gonna defend him now? And it's just I You know, I just Yes, so here's the answer. I apologize for jumping in, but actually I wanted to give you a lot of time to interact, especially as a long time listener and first time close.

So Bell, first, thank you for speaking honestly to me. Thank you. Thank you. That's a friend. All right.

And thank you for raising your concerns. In short, I voted against Hillary Clinton. because I felt she would take her country in a destructive way. And that through her policies, many black babies would be killed and others. And I feel that her policies are ultimately worse.

for minorities and poor. and that she would stand directly against our religious liberties.

So I voted against her. And I have godly people really close to Donald Trump. who assure me that he's listening. and that he will govern well.

So that was my hope. But it was a difficult vote for me, and I appreciate if you have a problem with me voting for him. I fully respect that. All right, gotta go. God of light, hear our cry, send the fire.

It's the line of fire with your host, Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Um Welcome to Thoroughly Jewish Thursday. Michael Brown, delighted to be with you. Boy, I appreciate honest callers. I appreciate long-term listeners. And this is what family does, right?

We have our discussions, we have our agreements, we have our disagreements, and we stay family. 866-348-7884. On this Thoroughly Jewish Thursday, as there have been charges against Donald Trump that he's an anti-Semite, that he's a bigot, that he's a xenophobe, a homophobe, and down the list, he's a racist, a sexist. There's certainly things he's said and done over the years. That Uh merit.

serious questions uh about this character, his ethic, his beliefs. and even serious charges. And there are other things that I feel are unmerited. For example, the anti-Semitism charge I always felt was unmerited. Even when I was criticizing him strongly, I always felt uh always felt that The charges of anti-Semitism were false against him.

And I do believe that he'll be a good friend of Israel. Early on in the campaign on MSNBC, he said, Well, he's going to remain neutral on the Israeli-Palestinian debate because once elected, he wants to be able to come in and no one thinks that he's biased one way or the other. This way he can just kind of, you know. Sit down as a neutral negotiating party. But his people tell him this is a tough deal to make hard negotiations.

It's an understatement. And then within a week, he was at Regent University, of course, pro-Israel Pat Robertson saying, We stand with Israel, I stand with Israel. And I use that as an example to say, You don't know what the man really believes. I would say that over the course of the campaign, he has. convinced me that he does hold certain values.

and that these are important to him, whether they become important. Whether he settled on a certain course, where they've always been important, that's another debate. But I am curious to hear, especially from minorities. from from people who are concerned about a Trump presidency. When you hear about the protests and the riots and the fear, is that just activist stirring of trouble?

Is the m media inciting people? Uh is it genuine fear? That's coming out because of things he said and potential policies is the combination of several of these factors. Had some great calls and very much appreciate. Those who have weighed in.

866-34TRUTH.

Let's go to David in Flower Mound, Texas. Welcome to the line of fire. Good morning, Dr. Brown, or it's afternoon, actually.

Alright. Hey. Um So I just want to kind of weigh in on. I'm getting a heck of an echo. Um So on this.

post-election discussion. And uh You know, I was just Uh you know, listening to This speech is from President Obama. And my connection on this is that I have an interracial family. uh my daughter and I have two I have a daughter and two grandsons. Or uh two grandchildren.

that are black. Got it. And I don't and and I love them. Yeah, so your take on Are the concerns about Donald Trump are those based on legitimate fears because of things he said, as our last caller explained? Or do you feel it's the media just stirring things up or a combination of both?

Well, I'm going to take this a different direction because You know, I just want to say that. Just to be fair, because our phone lines are jammed, sir. That's the question I'm trying to get a response to, and I want to be fair to people that have been holding quite a while to weigh in on that.

So So, what was the question again? I'm sorry. All right, tell you what. You can listen again. I'm going to get some other callers.

If you still want to weigh in, stay on the line. My specific question is. The fears, the riots, the protests, people want to leave the country. Is that based on legitimate concern about who Donald Trump would be, how he'll govern, based on what he has said himself, Or is this just the media stirring these things up? and creating some kind of monster.

That he is not.

So you can stay there if you want to respond. We'll come back to you. Let's go to Betty in Harrisburg, North Carolina. Thanks for calling the line of fire. Thank you, Dr.

Brahm, for your program. You're welcome. I'm a black person. Hello? Yes, go ahead.

I'm listening. And I voted for Donald Trump. Go ahead. The question is: why did I vote for Donald Trump? Yeah.

Because I've seen our country go through some very hateful experiences. I was a participat in I participated in the civil rights movement. We had nobody uh shoot shooting car. Black people didn't shoot cars. Clarks might have shouted at us, but we didn't consent.

Now you got this. godless hatred people who will shoot at anyone anytime. Six thousand children have been killed in in Chicago. Down Trump did not kill those kids. We're not innocent little painters walking around with crowns around our heads.

uh we have to teach our children is you don't supposed to kill people. If the policeman stopped you, Why is it It was the worst time in our history. We were bought here as slaves. We're still here. White people didn't come and massacre us by the blade.

We're still here. Obama spoke of clansmanship and all this stuff that period Uniform. Heart to black people to carry them out to vote every four years. There's a racist always sticking his ugly leg. If you disagree with the Democratic Party, You uh a racer?

Are you Uncle Tom? Are you uh some kind of other name? And his teacher. His spirit into these black children.

So they can't go out and live their life free. That old down in the slave quarters mentality.

Somebody's coming after you all the time mentality. Hold that children back and growing into a beautiful society what God has provided for us. Yeah, so so your view then is that The Al Sharptons, the Jesse Jacksons, they are basically race baiters. That Brand Jones, this new one, they got a bunch of other ones. And as far as the Hispanic people in the riot.

Yes, I I have traveled around the world. I can't go into a ma another man's country without a passport, without the basic stuff. proper facial work. And then we got a lot of black people sitting in parquet right now. And their checks have been cut back because we are trying to take care of everybody.

We can't do that.

So you feel then that our last caller. uh raise concerns that you have a different perspective on. Yeah. Oh. All of a sudden go back and look at statistics.

We make children If black people was not firing on each other with all this gunplay and everything. until these aggressives came into office. Obama yourself is calling. What plans? Got it.

Was that hate speech? Indeed, it was. Mm-hmm. The progressive, the Democrats are the only ones that can. They hit the beach.

and get away with it. If anybody else disagrees with them, they're racist. Yeah, you know what's remarkable, Betty. And I appreciate you calling in. I'm sensitive to the issues that Bell, our previous caller, raised.

And I so appreciate you calling in as an African American with history and civil rights. But did you know that when Mitt Romney was running against Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden said openly that Romney wanted to put black people, quote, back in chains? Let us not fall prey to race-baiting rhetoric, no matter who it comes from, no matter which side. It's on. Thank you.

It's the line of fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution. Get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34 Truth. Here again is Dr.

Michael Browns. You know, I wanted to do a giveaway on the broadcast. The problem is. As we are now on with you on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday, the problem is that the phone lines have been jammed with cause and other subjects.

So I may have to pick another time to do the giveaway. But I won't mention what it is now because I can't open up the phone lines because they're jammed. Welcome, welcome to the line of fire, Michael Brown, on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday. My delight to be with you. We have been talking with folks about Charges about Donald Trump, anti-Semite, hates Muslims, hates Mexicans, hates blacks, hates different groups, protests in America, college campuses canceling classes, protests on streets, and mainly young people involved.

And stop the hate. Donald Trump is hate. Is he being. misperceived? Is he being misrepresented?

Is he now suffering for his own words? Would it have been different if Ted Cruz was president-elect? Or if Marco Rubio was president-elect? remember when Mitt Romney ran? For President Because he was a Mormon.

Vice President Joe Biden actually said that he wants to put black people, quote, back in chains. And Obama himself stated that Romney wanted to push America back to the 1950s. This is as noted by columnist Ben Shapiro. On the other hand, Donald Trump said a lot of stupid things during the campaign.

So we'll sort that out. We'll continue to talk that through. 866-348-7884. Before I go back to the phones, I want you to hear. Uh some interesting quotes from An ultra-Orthodox rabbi, Matitsyahu Glazerson.

And he predicted Based on Bible codes, so looking at distance between letters and things like this, by the way, I reject this. I reject this as a valid method of finding messages in the Bible. I don't believe that's how God communicated it. We don't have the original manuscripts and spelling changes, even if we have the same word spelling changes, therefore that changes the distance between letters and things like that. For example, the English word labor is spelled L-A-B-O-U-R in England, but in America it's spelled L-A-B-O-R.

So texts would change just with spelling conventions. Nonetheless, there are rabbis who said that even secular Jews who became religious believing these Bible codes existed.

So let's start with clip number four. Listen to what this ultra-Orthodox Jewish rabbi says. He's got a thick accent, but I think you'll be able to understand. This is a verse in The book Isaiah Forty five one and this what it says there. He says the following, which you see thus Saith the LORD, of his anointed to Cyrus.

And then with right all the continuation, but amazingly is this expression anointed Cyrus, Elibu is Mashiach, Messiah. And in fact, this is what Is written That he was as he was helping Just as we know quite well, to go back to Israel and to build a temple.

So he was called Meshiach.

So anybody who really helps Israel to build themselves, to settle properly in their land, So he's pronounced Mashiach, so therefore I'd be not surprised if the word Mashiach comes also with him. Yeah, so that is interesting that God calls Cyrus Mashiach, anointed, one is the word from whence we get Messiah, but then he gets into Bible codes. And the criticism about Bible codes has only been: well, it's always after the fact. It's always after the fact. You're always saying, well, look, the Bible pointed to the assassination of this person, you know, John F.

Kennedy, or the Bible pointed to the Twin Towers, but it's always years after. Tell us something before.

Well, he said Donald Trump would win based on Bible codes. We'll play another clip just to give you his perspective on that. Again, I personally reject this, but it's curious. I want you to hear it on Thurley Jewish Thursday. We'll be right back.

It's the line of fire with your host, Dr. Michael Brown. Get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34TRUTH. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Welcome back to Thoroughly Jewish Thursday. All right, I'm going to take Two more calls, and then I'm going to switch subjects. All right. Two more calls addressing the question of what's behind the riots, the protests, the fears. Is it Donald Trump's own rhetoric, therefore his own fault?

Is it a combination of his rhetoric and the media and special interest groups provoking protests and fears?

So demonizing him? Is it entirely the work of others who have misrepresented him? 866-348-7884. As soon as we finish with these calls, I'm going to give you a little riddle. And if you can solve the riddle, you're going to get a free Jewish book.

But don't call. Because I haven't given the riddle yet.

So, Betsy, just these last two calls, and we won't have other calls on this subject. We'll go to Raleigh, North Carolina Stewart. Welcome to the line of fire. Hey, thanks for taking my call. You bet.

Yeah, I wanted to, and I'm a very, very new listener, but I wanted to say that everything you see going on Um that starts with Donald Trump. Mm-hmm. We all we we all have to control our tongue. Yep. And that is something he has done a very, very poor job of.

I'm sorry to laugh. You're being very silver. I'm sorry to laugh, but that that's an understatement. That's saying it very nicely. Yeah, yeah.

Go ahead. And and the folks who are out there, they are very, they're very hurt. They're very disappointed and they're and I hate to say this in our fellow Americans. for even letting him get this far. For for letting him even get as far as being a Republican.

Nominee. Um That's a big piece of what is going on out there. The media is going to do what they did. But they won't they don't have they won't have firepower unless he gives it to 'em. Everything he said came from him, and you know, the Bible says the overflow of your heart comes out of your mouth.

And he has said a lot of hurtful things. And the majority of the hurtful things he has said have gone to. towards people of color. and of minorities and towards women. the vast majority.

Just help me with one thing, okay? Certainly, I understand. Why Muslims would be concerned? why Hispanics, especially Mexicans, would be concerned. why women would be concerned.

And I understand to an extent because of law and order issues and Donald Trump so strongly standing with police why black Americans would be concerned. I I just have not heard Statements from him That are derogatory to blacks in general. Even when he talked about immigrants, he didn't say things clearly, and because of that, he gave himself, he set himself up to be. attack the the way he is. But could you help me understand this?

Again, I assume you're speaking as a person of color, where he said something directly. that was not just dealing with an issue, but now made you as a black American feel less in his sight.

Well, I'm glad you brought up the police.

So I personally have been stopped by the police.

well over twenty times. I have no criminal record. I've passed several FBI background checks just in what I do. And I don't think a lot of um and white Americans would never come close to that record. But But during his and I this is this is a perfect example, during one of the debates, They ask him about what's going on in In the country, and he goes straight to Chicago.

Well, Chicago's had problems for decades. That's nothing new, they've had a gang problem. for a decade. It didn't start with President Obama. But his response was, we're going to enforce the law.

But outside now, outside of Chicago, The law has been enforced against millions of African Americans, and we have said this for decades. that things are going on in our community which should not be going on. We shouldn't be getting stopped. We should not die over a traffic stop. we shouldn't die over minor violations.

And these things have always happened. But his first response was, we're going to enforce the law.

Well, I think we need to I think before I think the police are enforcing the law, they have a very difficult job. But we need to make sure everyone feels safe First. I think that's first and foremost. we need to address why are African Americans afraid of those who are supposed to be protecting them. Right, and just to jump yeah, just to jump in, if you think of the the the uh the horrific event where uh Officers in Dallas were ambushed and slaughtered in cold blood, and the emergency room doctor.

the primary doctor that was the coordinating and dealing with them was himself a black american And he talked about his mixed feelings that on the one hand, he wanted to save lives, he's a doctor, and he cares about them, but he had to say the fear that he walks in when he's just walking through his community as a black man.

So here's a doctor. Yeah, and Stuart, if you had been listening for a while, so I'm so glad that you started to listen, you would have heard me say over and again. I can't relate to XYZ because I didn't grow up in that environment. I was never racially profiled.

So I have had my own understanding tremendously enriched by callers exactly like yours. In other words, a law-abiding citizen, an authority-respecting citizen, in many cases, a God-fearing Christian who's talked about being pulled over, who's talked about all these things. And I understand the reason is because there's a disproportionate amount of crime happening with people who look a certain way and you look that way, so therefore you're a suspect. That doesn't change the fact that you got targeted unfairly. And I've had many parents say they're afraid for their kid getting stopped.

For a trap, you know, for a faulty headlight, what's going to happen? I don't diminish that at all. I don't deny it. I don't argue. And the reasoned way in which you're speaking.

It should also get the attention of our listeners. And by the way, your position is my wife's position. Her position is Donald Trump. Doug, you know, made his own mess. He's paying for it now.

Let's hope he begins to act more presidential and shows himself to be the president of all the people. My position is he dug his own hole real deep, and the media has gone crazy with it. And exaggerated it.

So you're more in my wife's camp. I'm in your camp partly, but also putting more blame on the media as well. But let me turn around and ask you one quick question. All right. Then I want to get to one more caller.

Can you understand? When you get away from certain of these other issues, How Donald Trump has appealed to many fair-minded, godly people. I've had black callers, I had quite a few black callers say they voted for Donald Trump. In fact, far more called in to say they voted for him than they weren't.

So I don't want to make it a black-white issue. But can you understand that there are frustrations a lot of Americans feel about the direction of the country, about our security, about the radical left agenda, about various things, about rising health care costs? And they're frustrated. They don't like the direction of the country. And they felt that Trump, with all his flaws and ugly warts, is the guy to turn things in the right direction.

Can you at least understand why people have voted for him? H here's what I think. I think that The people who voted. had the right message and it had the wrong messenger.

Okay. Got it. That's exactly how I feel. All right. Completely wrong person to carry the message.

All right. Hey, Stuart, I absolutely get it. Got it. All right, that's important. Hey, thank you for a very lucid call and a very helpful call.

And friends, for anyone That doesn't have Stewart's perspective, just recognize the way things were presented and give it some thought. All right? Thank you, sir. I do appreciate it. All right, one more call.

We'll stay in North Carolina. Angela in Charlotte, welcome to the line of fire. Hello. Hey. How you doing?

Doing great. Go ahead. Great. Okay. Well, um Alluding to your question, I don't believe it was media buzz.

What he said. Is what he said. And I would think someone would have a filter who is running for such a high position. Yeah, and it's not just America, it's going to affect the whole world. And I honestly, I don't trust the gentleman, and I've been a voter, a Republican, for years.

I did not even vote. And I believe that in Revelations it said that even the elect. Or the elite would be deceived by the anti-cray. And me being a woman who is not very well educated, I have an associate's degree, always wanted a bachelor's, it never worked out.

Now I'm not a mother, never been married. I'm, you know, I'm kind of thrown into this. And according to scripture about what the Bible and the New Testament and even in Isaiah says about women like me. I'm blessed in the end time.

So that's my perspective on it. And I felt blessed enough not to vote. I'm going to pay my taxes no matter who's in office. And I'll maybe stay silent within the church realm of things, but I love kids, so I couldn't vote for Hillary. Donald Trump, I didn't trust them.

Yeah, hey, Angela, let me just say this. We'll put aside the Antichrist speculation for the moment. But I've always said. I respect those who feel they can't vote for Donald Trump. I urge folks not to vote for Hillary Clinton for quite a few reasons, and I said I respect you if you feel you can't vote for Donald Trump.

Just if you want my own opinion, that is. And for those who said, man, you guys are heavy on Trump today, your callers, we've had tons of pro-Trump callers. We just want to hear things out. We'll be right back with some Jewish items of interest. It's fire we want.

Oh, fire we It's the line of fire with your host, Dr. Michael Brown. Get into the line of fire now by calling 866-342. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Yeah. We are his pride. Taken from desire. When blood and falls. Welcome to Thoroughly Jewish Thursday, the voice of Marty Goetz, welcoming us back in.

All right. Jot down this number, 866-34TRUTH, 866-348-7884. There is a free book coming your way. 60 questions Christians ask about Jewish beliefs and practices. 60 questions Christians ask about Jewish beliefs and Practices.

It's yours free if you can answer this question correctly. Are you ready? This week's Torah portion, so read in the synagogues on the Sabbath, is called Lech Lechah from Genesis 12:1 to 17:27. Lechlecha, the Hebrew words literally go with respect to yourself, so get up and go. God's word to Abraham, calling him out of his homeland, telling him to leave his father's homeland and come to a land God would show him, which is the land of Canaan, the promised land.

And then the succeeding chapters, with some other things as well, renew the covenant that God had given or explain the covenant that God gives with Abraham and his descendants and vouchsafe the land to them.

So it's focused on Abraham and the promises to him and the covenant of circumcision. And the accompanying portion that's read. Read in the synagogues from the prophets is Isaiah 40:27. to Isaiah forty one sixteen. Isaiah 40, 27.

To 4116. There's a very specific reason why that passage is read. It's simple, it'll jump right out at you. Why is that passage read to accompany? Genesis 12, 1 to 17, 27 about Abraham and the land and circumcision.

All right, Isaiah 40, 27 to 41, 16. Why is that passage read in the synagogue to accompany the Torah portion? All right, 866, 666. Three four eight seven eight eight four is the number to call. Um Yeah, you know what?

Uh Grab clip number two. I just want to play one other clip for you. Hopefully if you've been listening, you know. As a male American, as an older male American, 61 years old, as a male white. Older American as a male, white, older Jewish American, that I'm constantly listening to everyone who is not.

Male, or is not white, or is not American, or is not Jewish, or is not older. I'm always looking for perspectives outside of my own. Uh I'm constantly learning. from my callers about perspectives I don't have. And then conversely.

I will raise issues. Uh I will raise issues and say, hey, Consider this perspective. One point I made after thinking about these issues for months and interacting with callers, small backgrounds for months, is that white Americans often don't see racism when it is there. And black Americans often see racism when it isn't there. Blind spots we both have.

And I'm sure that Jews see anti-Semitism sometimes when it's not there. And non-Jews sometimes don't see anti-Semitism when it is there. In other words, we always see through our own perspective, and that's why we do our best to go before the Lord, quiet our hearts, and then listen to others. But I just want you to hear this. JJ, play clip number two.

You fucking drunk! Oh. She been a little bit more. Nelbo Trail! Yeah, this is going viral on social media.

This is a crowd of happened to be young blacks beating up a white guy asking him, Did you vote Trump?

Now, there is a tremendous amount of hatred coming towards people who voted for Trump, who are people of honor. people of respect, people who are not haters. Without the Hispanic vote and the black vote, Donald Trump would not be the president. Yeah, it was a minority, but still that vote, he would not be the president without them.

So I just want to say this, and I'm not taking any calls on that. My only calls now are if you think you have the answer to my question. All right, so Betsy, that's all we're taking calls on now. But this guy's viciously beaten. A friend of mine told me that someone close to him Was it in California?

Uh That he was a white guy, and a bunch of blacks approached him and said, You vote for Trump, we're going to teach you a lesson.

Now, does that speak for a majority of black markets? No, no, no, no, God forbid. God forbid But when you get these caricatured things, this idea that Donald Trump is supporting the Ku Klux Klan or libelist junk like that. It's going to further inflame.

So please hear me. I have been a strong critic of Donald Trump for months and have grave concerns about damage he could do, yet I believe God has raised him up to be president and I voted for him. And his very first speech, he was presidential. I'm hoping that he will continue to be that. I also believe that, yes, he can be used as a divine wrecking ball to bring down a lot of junk that needs to be brought down.

But let us not listen to the race baiters on either side. Let us not ris listen to the the sexist baiters on either side. Let us listen to God and one another. Fair enough. Let us listen to God and one another and thereby Grow.

Okay. And where I've got a blind spot, help me see it. Where you've got a blind spot, I'll help you see it. And you have to ask the question. If it was white people asking, did you vote for Hillary?

And if they said it to a black and they said yes, they started viciously beating this person, this would be the talk of the news everywhere. And that's what I address in my latest article, which you can read at thelineoffire.org. Here come the racist, sexist charges. It's the double standard. That's what I address in my article.

All right, Ian in Houston, Texas. What's the answer to my question? I hope I'm right. I'm Jewish. I should know this, but I never went to temples, so I don't know.

But I'm guessing. In Genesis, it talks about the Abrahamic covenant where he would be given the land, and then it seems there's a lot of reference to the Messiah in Isaiah.

So I'm guessing that it has to do with the Messiah one day will Rule over them in all the land that was supposed to be given to them, right? It's a good guess, but. If you had read the passage again In Isaiah Chapter 40:27 to 41:16, you'd see the answer immediately. Tell you what, uh, so sorry, no winner. Uh, let's let's just play the next clip.

I think it's clip number five, JJ, from the rabbi about Bible codes, and I'm going to jump in partway through.

So, let's grab that. Go ahead and play that.

Now what is very interesting that you have here Next to Roland the word Donald, the word Nasi, and here you have the word Asatabri. But the most interesting that you have the exact date. Of the election, which is really Chet Cheshwan, which is really the 9th of November, which is exactly the day after the election will be on the Ace.

So this is the day when Doland Ibacher will be elected. All right, so I'm just going to jump in there.

So here's a rabbi saying Bible codes pointed to Nasi leader at Shotabridge, United States. And it said November 8th, Donald will be elected. And there it is. Hey. I don't go for the Bible codes, but there you have it.

So the answer is Isaiah 41, it mentions Abraham, my friend. God calls him Abraham, my friend. That's why it's red, because it ties in with Abraham. All right, my bottom line today, the Donald Trump presidency could stir up all kinds of division, or we could come together. as one.

Okay.
