The Latest on the Elections and the State of the American Church

If you're looking for cutting-edge Christian commentary on the latest breaking news and insights on the state of the church, you've come to the right place. 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. The FBI is reopening their investigation. into the criminal and illegal conduct.

of Hillary Clinton. Yeah, that's obviously music to Donald Trump's ears. What a weekend it has been. This is Michael Brown. We're going to have a great time together.

On the broadcast, 866-34TRUTH, 866-348-7884. If your head is spinning, if you're frustrated, if you feel like you're gonna lose your mind, hey, you are listening to the right show. We're gonna do our best today to get you. full of faith, full of confidence. Full of peace in the midst of the storm.

Again, 866-348-7884.

So I had a doctor's appointment this morning. to check out a shoulder problem I was having. And he's a Christian man, beautiful drive out to where he was. I went a little further than normal, beautiful drive with trees changing color, just a great time of the year.

So anyway, and that just reminds me that God's kingdom is going to be here long after these elections, by the way. But He said to me, Christian, he said, all right, just completely off the record in terms of this is not, you know, for the medical records now, he said, I'm having a real hard time. He said, I can't vote for either of these jokers. You have any advice? I said, Well, here's my article.

Here's a link to my article on why I'm going to vote for Trump. I said, But you're in the exact same place my wife is. I mean, after the last debate, she thought, okay. I'm going to have to vote. I hate it, but I'm going to have to vote for Donald Trump.

And then the more she thought about it, she said, I can't. Can't vote for either one. That's where she is right now. Things could still change in the next few days, but that's where she's at. That's where this doctor was at.

That's where many of you may be at. I want to do my best to look at the larger issues. To try to see, is God doing something in the midst of all this? And then, what about us? What about us as God's people?

How do we respond? How do we live? Look, barring something completely unexpected. Either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will be the president of the United States. In eight days.

Maybe a close vote takes a little while, but I mean, we're eight, nine days, we're gonna know. And for many Americans, either of those possibilities is a nightmare. And for many Americans, one of the possibilities is a nightmare, and the other is great, or the other is okay or tolerable. But either way, you've got candidates with extremely high unfavorability ratings. One of them is going to be the president.

I mean, think of how it's going to sound. President Donald Trump. You said, no, no, it can't be. It can't possibly be that Donald Trump will ever be the president of the United States. Can't be.

No, not Donald Trump. That's how some of you feel. President Hillary Clinton. No, no, that please tell me it didn't happen. Please, I mean, so.

Either way, there's going to be a very intense reaction. But Our role is going to remain the same. And please hear me. as important as the elections are, And as much as I recognize how they could affect our country negatively in many ways, and some say whoever is elected, it's negative. The fact of the matter is.

We make a great mistake if we put our primary emphasis on who is in the White House. Yes, it's important, but ultimately What determines the state of our nation is the state of the church. Ultimately, what determines the well-being of the nation is the state of the church. Ultimately, What determines what will be our direction for the next generation or generations until the Lord comes is the state of the church. That doesn't mean you throw away your vote.

Or it doesn't mean you vote nonchalantly. But it means we must, we must keep our focus. I want to talk about the FBI investigation. What I understand, why these things are unfolding. And if you've got a question or a comment, give me a call: 866-34TRUTH.

Give us strength to always do what's right. 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.

If the Secretary of State wins, we will have a president under criminal investigation. Under these circumstances, I am actively reassessing my support. This is a longtime Democrat supporter, Doug Schoen. He has been in the Hillary clamp strongly up to now.

So, this was quite a shock when he announced this. He was on with Fox News, Harris Faulkner, yesterday. In fact, JJ, let's grab clip number three. You are listening to Michael Brown. It is the line of fire, and we'll do our best to bring a spiritual perspective on everything as we discuss the elections today.

I don't mean to spiritualize away issues, I mean that we will do our best to look at this through heavenly eyes and thereby get a better perspective on this world. 866-34-TRUTH. Let's play clip number three. Given that this investigation is going to go on for many months after the election, no matter who wins, but if the Secretary of State wins, we will have a president under criminal investigation with whom? Abedeen under investigation, the Secretary of State, the President-elect, should she win under investigation, Harris.

Under these circumstances, I am actively reassessing my support. I'm not a Trump. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You're not going to vote for Hillary Clinton? Harris, I'm deeply concerned that we will have a constitutional crisis if she's elected.

Wow. I want to learn more this week, see what we see. But as of today, I am not a supporter of the Secretary of State. All right, now. Obviously, only God knows what's coming next, what shift, what unexpected.

Thing is going to happen next. WikiLeaks says, get ready, they're about to enter into the third phase of their release of emails.

So who knows what's coming next? Who knows how damning it'll be? Who knows if it will force the media's hand to deal with certain things. And it's a strange thing. It's not right now a matter of who's going to win the election, but who's going to not lose the election.

And that's what it's come down to. It's not a matter of candidate A stands for these values, and he's winning or she's winning the hearts of the American public. It's who's going to have the last scandal revealed, who's going to make the last mistake. Is there going to be another Scandal with Donald Trump revealed, or is it going to be with Hillary Clinton? Or is he going to put his foot in his mouth again?

Or is something? That's almost what it's coming down to. And with early voting, I've seen something like 22 million people have voted already early. What if some really wild news happen I mean some wild news has happened now at the FBI what if more wild news happens in the next few days that would affect the vote? I mean that's that's interesting, isn't it?

Um So let me throw something out to you. Again, I say our role, our task remains the same regardless of who's elected, and yet I believe the elections are important.

So Here's how I have been watching it. Ever since I heard these prophetic words, going back to 2011. and from people that I'd never heard of that didn't claim to be anybody. When I began hearing tapes or look at these Written messages posted online from 2011, where someone said they believed God showed them Donald Trump was going to be president of the United States. Um And then I heard it from some folks that would be more reliable.

I thought, okay, is there something to this? Question mark.

Now trust me, I'll tell you I've heard all kinds of prophecies all the time, and everybody, sometimes just human opinions, okay, cloaked with some kind of divine authority. But if there's someone I respect who says, hey, God didn't tell me who's going to be the president, but I feel he's given me this insight about who Donald Trump is or how he could be used. You know, my friend Lance Wall now, when I had him on to discuss Donald Trump last week as God's chaos candidate, you can listen to that interview. Just go to askdrbrown.org and click on the digital library to listen to that. And When we interacted in his whole thing about Donald Trump being a divine wrecking ball for the PC establishment and so on, well, I mean, obviously.

The media bias is getting exposed. Washington corruption is getting exposed. And yeah, wrecking ball does harm and good. You don't bring in a wrecking ball when you want to remodel a house. You don't bring in a wrecking ball when you want to do heart surgery.

So that's the bad with the good. But you bring in a wrecking bowl and you've got to demolish some massive old building that's got to go.

Okay.

So, even when I endorsed Senator Cruz, I prayed, Lord, am I missing something about Donald Trump? Is there something you want to work through him or do in him? This is all while I put out my warnings about him and raise my concerns about him, all of which remain, although I am voting for him with those warnings in full view.

So I have been wondering, okay. When I saw him tearing through the primaries, it didn't make any sense with all the candidates that were out there. Oh, I know. Yeah, he appealed to certain things in Americans and a strong nationalism and an outsider who's going to get the job done. And yeah, and a reality TV star.

I understood all that. But when he just kept winning, and then when he took Indiana the way he did, and Cruz had a dropout, I thought, is there something going on?

So I've been watching with interest. And still knowing, yeah, it could well be that he gets trounced, he loses in a landslide. It could well be, but I've been wondering: is something going to happen to turn the tide? Is something going to happen to turn the tide? And it could well be with this FBI investigation that something has happened.

Now, it is interesting to see. that the Democrats who loved James called me a couple months ago, now loathe him. And the Republicans who loathed him two months ago now love him. And to me, He has he has acted so wrongly in the past that he has to fix things now even if it means acting wrongly. He even said, because he said repeatedly the investigation was closed, because it's being reopened, he has to say it.

That's absolutely right. But the investigation never should have been closed. And I've read articles. I can't vouch for the accuracy. Of these, but I have heard these reports.

And uh They could well be true. That the Unrest. is so intense within the FBI That Officials feel that he has so tarnished the reputation of the FBI, because, in my mind, they are tarnished. They are compromised because of what Comey's done, exonerating Hillary Clinton. without basis.

Remember the press conference where he gave all the reasons, everything she did wrong? And even then, it wasn't properly investigated for everything I understand.

So they only got to the tip of the iceberg. And then to say, but we're not going to die. What? What? Are you kidding me?

It's like you're watching an NFL game, and they say there were four penalties all on the defense roughing the passer, unsportsmanlike conduct, defensive holding, and pass interference. Therefore, there are no penalties. What? That's what it felt like.

So apparently People are so upset. In fact, grab clip number nine. This is Joe DiGenova. He is a DC. Uh uh attorney And former U.S.

Attorney, Washington, D.C., lawyer, he's on the drive at five with Larry O'Connor. He's painting a picture of what's going on within the FBI. If that's true, Comey had no choice. But to do what he's doing, is this part of a divine purpose to get Donald Trump in office as bizarre? As that sounds, and that God might even have a good purpose in it.

Is that possible? All right, let's listen to Attorney Joe DiGenova. If this investigation had been conducted with regular order, which it means you use an FBI field office with a group of professional agents, one of the things that they do is they cross reference every other existing criminal case close to it and see if there's any evidence that's available. They obviously didn't do that with the Wiener case, because existing at the same time as the Cointon case. And for him not to know.

that there was a potential This should have been an instinctive investigative decision if the investigation were being run properly. The first thing you would do is say, look, you got anything in the Wiener area that relates to Uma Davidine, that's the first thing you do. It wasn't done. And the reason it wasn't done was because Comey kept this investigation in his own office with no regular field agents. And they didn't do any of the things that you normally do because he didn't want it to be a real investigation.

Comey sent this letter today. Because he had to. He has no moral authority inside the agency right now. He is a joke, he is a laughing stock. of the agency.

And among former FBI agents, He has become anathema. Yeah, so to the extent that's true, which would sadly make perfect sense. I say sadly because it's the FBI and it's an individual and it affects the presidential elections. But that would make perfect sense as to what he did, what he did. I put out a poll.

and asked the question on Twitter, what's your view of the FBI and James Comey? Sixty one per cent said he hurt their reputation. Only 17% said I never trusted them. 22% said I have no opinion.

So 61% feel. that James Comey hurt. The reputation of the FBI. But again, with these things being revealed, with things coming out that cannot be suppressed. Is this a Act of God.

so as to get Donald Trump in the White House And could he indeed be quote God's chaos candidate? We're going to take your calls. I'm gonna give you more perspective when we come back. But I've been waiting for something like this, wondering what's gonna shift the polls if Trump is gonna get in. We shall see.

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.

You know, I'm looking at an article on thestream.org that was shared, oh, let's see, over 100,000 times. Christian conservatives be assured that President Hillary Clinton will declare war on you. I have a new article up today. You can read it by going to thelineoffire.org, where I ask. Should we be putting as much emphasis as we do on having a conservative Supreme Court?

I also have an article went out over the weekend: Obama Clinton, Department of Justice in the IRS: Are we more corrupt than Russia? And again, my article on why I will vote for Donald Trump, misgivings and all. If you missed any of that, just go to thelineoffire.org, click on the digital library, and you'll see all of the articles there. And if you miss any part of the broadcast, you can catch the whole broadcast right there online.

Okay, let's start going to the phones. We begin with Susie in Waldorf, Maryland. Welcome to the line of fire. Hi, Dr. Brown.

I thank God for your Service and your program. Shalom and Yahshua HaMashiach. Amen. Um I believe God is the blessed controller of all things. and I have fullest confidence that his will will be done.

I honestly believe that one of the best ways to pick a candidate is to find out, first of all, the bottom line is Are they pro-life? Or are they pro They call it abortion, I call it murder. And that, to me, is the bottom line, sir. If they're pro-live, then there's a good beginning there. If they're not.

I don't even think about them. That's it. Yeah, listen, I'm in agreement with you as far as that's the first thing I look at. Then I look out where they stand on marriage and family. And then I look at where they stand on Israel.

Then after that, security, economy, I I understand all these things are issues. And Susie, some would say, hey, look, if someone's going to start a war unnecessarily, then that's going to lead to bloodshed. Or if they're not going to care for the poor, then they can't really be pro-life. I agree with those positions, but I do start with the protecting of the most innocent of all, the babies in the womb. And in that regard, we know sadly where Hillary Clinton stands.

Hate, thank you for the call. And I'm convinced that Donald Trump will appoint. nominate strong pro-life justices.

Now, in my latest article. I I address the issue of the Supreme Court justices. And yes, it's true that if you look at Roe v. Wade, which was a 7-2 decision, okay. Uh it was a 7.

uh decision The the the fact is um Exactly. the uh the majority of the people voting. were were uh were Republicans. Seven out of the nine Supreme Court appointees in Roe v. Wade were Republicans.

Well, that's saying a lot.

Now, two of them voted against, but five voted for, and Harry Blackman, who was appointed. as a conservative, was supposed to be conservative on abortion, he ended up being the the the majority writer in favor of abortion in Roe v. Wade and became a passionate pro-abortion uh supporter.

So It went the opposite of what was expected. What we're told is, hey, listen, you don't know who's coming in next. You don't, you know, Trump might appoint pro-life or conservative justices. but you don't know how they're gonna rule. That's true.

But here's the flip side. We do know how the Liberal appointees rule. In other words, without fail. You've known, maybe Justice Kennedy disappointed. He was a Reagan appointee.

Maybe Justice Roberts disappointed. He was a George H.W. Bush appointee. Yeah, they disappointed on certain key things, Obamacare and the redefinition of marriage. But look at the strong liberals that were appointed by.

Obama and Clinton. Look at Breyer and Ginsburg and Sotomayor and Kagan. Every one of them held a strong liberal position on all those votes. And then on the flip side, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia held a strong conservative position.

So yeah, you sometimes are disappointed by some of the conservative appointees, but you're virtually never disappointed if you're a liberal putting in liberals where they end up voting.

So Yes, as my article has been retitled on the stream, Republican-appointed Supreme Court appointees may disappoint, but Democrat appointees will horrify. That, I think, is the issue we need to remember. 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to. All right, let's go to Edwin in Woodbridge, Virginia.

Thanks for calling the line of fire. Oh, yes, doctor Brown. Yeah, I mean, I can't say for sure whether is the hand of God moving in this situation, but you know, I have a strong feeling that it might be just because that it's so close to the election and you know the the media elites and basically the political elite, they were all against Trump. And with this last scandal with Trump, it seemed like it was over. And for this to turn around like this, this is something James Comey absolutely did not want to do.

You know, bring this forward. I mean, he was completely. He thought it was over and something forced his hand.

So and it di and the thing is it didn't come from WikiLeaks, it came from somewhere else.

So it seemed like it might be, you know, the the Lord trying trying to intervene, you know? Yeah, again, it doesn't. Look, God raises up Pharaoh, God raises up Nebuchadnezzar, God raises up David.

So God raises up people that are good and people that are bad.

So if God is raising up Donald Trump for divine purposes, what does that mean? That doesn't mean he's the savior figure. You know, there could be further judgment with it as we're looking at it. But yeah, from everything I understand, Edwin, Comey's hand was forced because of the amount of evidence that was there. And some of them said what he did is illegal and it's outrageous.

He's trying to influence the elections and how could he possibly do this? And whereas they know, he's obviously not in the tank for Trump and the Republicans. It's been quite the contrary, self-evident from his decision not to indict Hillary Clinton earlier on. But I think it's important to say, okay, yeah, we don't know what's in the emails, but there must have been enough. There must have been enough To get him to do what he did.

So, thank you for calling and let's pray, God, reveal what you want to reveal. And have your way in these elections. Oh, by the way, grab clip number five. Clip number five. Hillary Clinton made the claim at a press conference that Comey's letter was sent only to Republicans.

Number five. If they're going to be sending uh this kind of letter uh that uh is uh only going originally to Republican members of the House, that they need to share whatever facts they claim to have with the American people. Oops. What happened was, as I understand it, on the front side of the page listed the Republican congressman that got the letter, and on the back side of the page, the Democrats. And apparently, Hillary Clinton only thought it went to Republicans.

Clip number six: this is from the Clinton campaign, Robbie Mook saying, yeah, we weren't quite right about that claim. Number six. Comey sent the letter about 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday. Your campaign chairman, John Podesta, put out a statement at 3.45 p.m.

in which he made exactly the same charge that this hit letter had been sent just to the Republicans, not to the Democrats. Three hours and 15 minutes later, Hillary Clinton makes the same charge. Yeah, that's Chris Wallace raising that. And Robbie Mook has to say, yeah, we were wrong about that. All right, friends.

Our task remains the same. Are we going to do it? Are we going to do our job? Are we going to give ourselves to prayer, living holy lives, winning the lost, making disciples? Are we going to do it?

If not now, when? 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 866-34TRU.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Are you still undecided about how you're going to vote? Are you still undecided? like my doctor today.

wanted to talk to me and say, hey, I'm not sure how to vote. In his words, I can't vote for either of these two jokers. What do you recommend? Uh are you in the same place? Are you still undecided?

Give me a call. Tell me why. 866. 866-348-7884. To be as clear as I can.

I am urging Everyone Especially those that say they're followers of Jesus, not to vote. for Hillary Clinton. I respect someone saying I won't vote for her, but I can't vote for Donald Trump. I respect that.

So I am not here as an apologist for Donald Trump. But maybe we can talk about why you're undecided. Maybe I can be of some help. 866-348-7884. In the article that I wrote October 23rd, so eight days ago.

Why I will vote for Donald Trump. I said, before you applaud me for my integrity or condemn me for selling out, allow me to explain my decision. to vote for him.

So I said first I'm writing, I'm explaining this because I've been asked incessantly about it. It's not because I think I'm someone special and you should do what I'm doing. Second, I'm not endorsing Donald Trump. Third, I respect those in the Never Trump camp. Fourth, I take strong exception to evangelicals who fawned over Trump as if he were some kind of savior figure.

Fifth, My decision to vote for Trump, barring something earth-shattering, between now and November 8th, is consistent with my position, which was during the primaries I issued warnings about Trump and said I'm supporting Cruz. But I said if Trump becomes our nominee, then I will reassess my position because it will be now be Trump versus Hillary as opposed to Trump versus Cruz or Ruby or Huckabee or Bush or Kasich or Walker or Fiorina or any of these other candidates. And then it made clear once Trump became the Republican candidate, I was rooting for him to take steps in the right direction and thereby win my vote. And I've stated it repeatedly: under no circumstances would I vote for Hillary.

So, the question is. What's convinced me now that I should vote for Trump.

Well one I do believe that he's serious about appointing pro-life, pro-Constitution, Supreme Court justices. I believe he's serious about that. A second I endorse Ted Cruz because he took on the political establishment, the Washington Cartel. And Trump has also taken on the system. Yeah, in a wrecking boss style, but he's done it.

A third, I'm voting for the Republican platform, not the party. To the extent the party will keep the platform, that's the big issue. but I'm voting for the party, not the platform. Fourth. I've always felt the line electing a president, not a pastor, was overstated and superficial.

But if the question was okay Who are we going to vote for? We're electing a general to train hand-to-hand combat warriors, not a pastor. Then I'd have a different perspective.

So, what I'm saying is, things have shifted sufficiently. And our choices shifted sufficiently that I'm phrasing it in those terms. And then fifth, within minutes, the first few minutes of the last debate, just the massive differences on key issues to me between Trump and Hillary, it was underscored. I knew it, but it was underscored. It was one of those things I said, I just can't.

I can't avoid saying okay. I do support where he's coming from as much as I have grave questions about who he is. Uh sixth. Trump does seem to be drawn to conservative Christians. They continue to be able to speak in his life.

You may have heard James Robinson on this broadcast a number of times with me saying that Donald Trump continues to welcome him graciously and receive him. and that he's spoken the truth to him in the in the clearest imaginable terms. And seventh um While I'm quite aware that a president could do great harm or good to the nation. I'm far more concerned with what we as God's people do with our own lives and witnesses. And for me, the state of the church of America is much more important than the state of the White House.

So ultimately, this is a vote for me. My great emphasis is going to be how I live and how we live. What I do, what we do. Not who the president is, how the president lives. But it is important just down the list, right?

You got a checklist of five or six items or ten items.

Well, voting for the president may be number six or seven. How do we change America? or maybe five or maybe eight. But it's still on the list. The most important we've got to give attention to.

It is still on the list. Am I making sense? 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. You know, one other thing to come back to as we talk about the presidential elections. Just think If Donald Trump Had been a sexually chaste man over the years, even divorced a few times. And even if he had been unfaithful to his wife here or there, but then.

uh gotten that f in order you know uh Repent it before God, before man, whatever he's going to do. And then just, he wasn't like the most pure person in the world, but he didn't have all the so sexually chaste.

Sorry, that's that's overstating it. If he had just been Like an average married man who's not saved. But he's not going around talking about groping other women. He's not a superstar, can't do that. Maybe he's cheated on his wife.

Maybe he hasn't. Maybe here and there he's looked at pornography. But he's like an average, unsaved guy as opposed to. the man he's been sexually over the years and boasting about affairs and all that. If that had been him, he'd be.

Skating his way is into the White House with a massive lead right now. Because all those scandals and the tape and the comments and the previous things, none of that would have happened. None of that would have happened. Nothing. If Hillary Clinton didn't have the baggage of her husbands, repeat adulteries, serial adulteries, and her alleged mistreatment of the women involved.

Then she'd be much further ahead than where she is and maybe skating her way in. And now Now, what is it that could potentially sink her presidency? Think of this, after all these years of work to get her where she is, and she's not a young woman, right? Donald Trump's not a young man. I mean, they're pushing hard.

And if if I don't know, but if Hillary Clinton does have some health issues, all the more. I mean, they have been working towards this for A lifetime. Decades.

Now she's on the precipice of potentially becoming the first female president. in the history. of our nation, right? And There's the possibility that her presidential election will be sunk because of their. reopened FBI investigation into her Emails.

Yeah. Yeah. What caused it was the FBI was looking into Emails from Anthony Weiner, the husband, right now the estranged husband of Hillary's right-hand woman, confidante, Huma Abedin. And the reason they were looking into his emails was because of the the uh his actions of allegedly sexting a 15-year-old girl. If you're picking up kids from school, they say, Mommy, what's that?

He sent bad stuff, bad stuff out.

So Anyway. That's why the FBI was looking into his emails. And That could end up being what sinks her ship. Either the announcement of this they're reopening the case and now all kinds of speculation, or maybe something else actually comes out in terms of. you know, that her private classified s confidential government emails that should have been on a you know, shouldn't have been anywhere except for government authorized servers and so on, are they sitting on his computer.

and who knows whatever stuff is there. And here he's irresponsible enough to be sending out these these texts that destroyed his marriage, destroyed his reputations, destroyed his political career. And you got classified government information on that laptop.

So think once again. Sexual stuff. And so I mean it is wild. You think about numbers 32, 23. Your sin will find you out.

It's wild. And look, every one of us is blown it one way or another. That's why we need a Savior. If you're blown it, get things right with God and get things right with people. If you have blown it, get things right with God and get things right with.

people. You don't want to have skeletons in your closet that are going to come out to haunt you. Especially if you're running for the President of the United States. Wow, wow, wow. 86634Truth.

We go to Eugene in Richmond, Virginia. Welcome to the line of fire. Hey, this take my car, Michael Blair. You're very welcome. All right.

Yeah, um First, I want to say, you know, I was undecided whether I was going to vote for. But then, you know I decided, you know, Donald Trump He uh But first of all, he's pro-life. And One thing that really caught my attention is He wants to repeal the five hundred one three fee. That's Yeah, the Johnson Amendment that says if you're a 501c3, so if you are a ministry, that you cannot address political issues in a certain way. You can only say certain things.

For example, a pastor couldn't get up and say, Our church is going to vote for this one or endorse this one. Right.

So he's the first candidate who said he wants to repeal the Johnson Amendment. Absolutely. Yes. Mm-hmm. And those are my two main reasons that I'm going to vote for Donald Trump.

Now it's sure could have been geared. Yeah, go ahead. And you hear a lot of Christians say, Well, I'm not going to vote for Donald because he's not a Christian, or something like that. But I'm like, Well, We know he's not a Christian. He knows he's not a Christian.

But the thing I see in Donald Trump is that he does have a heart of humility And you you have to be you have to realize that you're broken in order for God to fix you anyway. That I don't see in Hillary. Yeah, that's yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah, obviously. Trump has been a, you know, it's been about Trump, it's been about his name, narcissism and.

And you know, you wouldn't think of Trump. You know, if you talked about him 10 years ago and said he's going to be pro-life, that'd be crazy. But it seems he really has had a shift there, which is positive. Yeah. And as for the humility, on the one hand, Yeah, I mean maybe you saw it during his speech.

at the Republican convention talking about They're supported the evangelicals and sayings I'm like, frankly, I don't I don't know that I deserve it. That maybe showed in public what he's shown others in private, because normally you think of Trump, the last thing you'd think of is humility. But does it seem that that One of them is like the one that does wrong and doesn't acknowledge it and keeps doing it. And the other, you know, that would be Hillary. The other would be like Trump who's done a lot of wrong and keeps doing it, but is trying to fix it.

It could well be hey, uh may I ask how old you are, Eugene? 46. 46. And how did you vote in the last election? Um, actually, I I I didn't vote the first time.

Okay.

But I voted the second time and it it It was crazy because I wasn't going to vote, but I don't want to go into that over. No, no, no, that's fine. That's fine. No, simple enough. Hey, Eugene, the other thing I'd say.

you know, talk about voting for a Christian and not let's look at it like this. You got uh You're in the front of a hospital, right? and you're in the emergency room. And you got some you know, big, rough, tough construction guy standing there, right? And then you have the the doctor.

You're talking to the doctor who's going to do surgery on your loved one, you know, and you know, very tender hand and very, you know, you say, Okay, that's the kind of person I want to operate. You look meticulous and all this. And then someone says, Wait, wait, the girl, something just collapsed on the patient. We need somebody.

So, who do you call? You call the big, strong construction worker, not the soft-handed surgeon, because the situation has changed, right?

So, yes, by all means, I wanted someone that had a strong Christian background like a Ted Cruz or like a Marco Rubio. Or, or, you know, like a Scott Walker, or some of the, or like a Mike Huckabee. I absolutely wanted somebody like that. And hopefully, we'll have a godly leader in the White House. I mean, if Trump's elected, we pray for his salvation.

But right now, it's kind of like we're in a bit of a different situation. We don't have those options. And we may have to call that rough and tumble construction worker to unpile some stuff. And then the hope is that he will be surrounded by godly people who would speak into his life. Look, the list he came up with.

for Supreme Court Uh justices. The list he came up with with the help of the Heritage Foundation, I doubt that he personally knew. Annie, you're certainly many of the names on that list. or that if you asked him to come up with a list of potential justices, he could have on his own. I mean, he had one said his sister would be a great justice, but she's an extreme pro-choice judge.

But he leaned on the right people. and they gave him the right counsel, And so, yeah, he could mess things up just to his personality and all of this. I understand that.

However, Yeah, I do believe he is listening. At least he hasn't shut people out. And I would have more hope. in him doing the right thing than Hilary. And that would be another reason that I plan to vote for him.

Eugene, thank you for your candor. Much appreciated. 866-34TRUTH. Are you still undecided? Is there something else about the campaign you'd like to talk about?

We are focused on the elections for obvious reasons. Reasons 866-348-7884 is the number to call. We've got a bunch more audio clips to play for you. I'll be doing that in the second hour for all of you that are leaving after the first hour. Fear not, you can catch the entire broadcast on my website, thelineoffire.org.

And tomorrow to morrow for the first time ever. Joining me on the line of fire will be. My bride of forty plus years, first time ever Ever in over eight years, Nancy's coming on the air with me to talk about our book. breaking the stronghold of food.

Alright, we'll be right back. Shake the name. It's time to change the world. Change the world. It's fire we want.

For fire we please stand the fire. 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. I'm not sure if I can do it. Yeah, where is our nation going? This is Michael Brown, 866. 3, 4, 8, 7.

884. We go back to the phones. Alberta and the Bronx. Welcome to the line of fire. Okay, good afternoon, Michael.

Long time listener. How you doing? I'm doing well, thank you. I thank God. Michael, listen, I want Christian.

I promise usually don't vote. I voted for Reagan, then I voted for Clinton. I voted for Obama the first time, not even his second term. I was gonna pull the lever for the first second time in my life for a Republican, for Tech Roost. And so Donald became the nominee and now I'm not going to vote for neither one.

But then you're talking about this Anthony Wiener and the Popiet. involvement in all this stuff. Are you aware were you aware that Trump's wife Both nude. And you can actually Google photos of her naked, completely naked, posting with an other woman. Is that the kind of woman we want as the first lady in the White House?

Even though we forgive We don't forget. Yeah, yeah, first thing it wasn't it wasn't yeah the first yeah it's a total shame. First thing it wasn't Playboy, it was some other magazine, but it wasn't Playboy. Yeah, but that that is a shame. I think that would be the first lady.

And what it could then do when she was interviewed on CNN the other day. Uh she said she I don't know if If there's agreement that there were well, there poses with another woman, I don't think, in sexual acts, but whatever, of course. Couldn't imagine, you know, any woman that's close to you, your wife, your daughter, your mother, you know, posing like that. Obviously, it's horrific to even, you know, think thoughts of that.

So the fact is. The fact is that uh When she was on CNN. And she was she was asked about She was asked about the photos, and she said she's proud of what she did. European culture, you're not ashamed of your bodies and things like that. That's a problem.

Because now that would be the first lady saying that, right? And what kind of message does that send to kids, to young people, to girls? And it's fine. Hey, the first lady does it. We know what happened when President Clinton was involved with certain acts with his intern Monica Lewinsky and then said, well, he wasn't having sex.

And now the whole generation grew up thinking you can do a particular thing and you're not having sex. I mean, that's, I don't mean he's solely responsible, but yeah, you do have this corrupting effect. And that's another reason, Alberta, that my wife, Alberta, my wife, Nancy, feels that she can't. Vote for Trump is the whole package that you get. On the flip side, If Um If Melania Trump acts in dignity today.

If they evidence a solid marriage and devotion to their children. And if she gets to the point. Of repudiating the past and saying what she did in the past was wrong and she regrets it. That's a positive. But yeah, you're right.

on the internet. And by the way, don't go. You don't need to do what our caller was suggesting. He was making a point. Is not saying go and look for naked pictures of her, but yes, stuff's.

all over the internet, which is unfortunate. And yeah, that would be the first lady. Yeah, there's baggage. I respect that.

Again, it's another issue my wife has raised.

Someone might say, hey, compared to the other issues we're dealing with, that's minor. But again. Um That's an issue. Hey, thank you. Thank you for the call.

866-34TRUT. Let's go to Gloria in Boston. Thanks for calling the line of fire. Hi. Uh I listen to you regularly also and um I'm an independent number one.

I don't like either candidate. But you've mentioned someone had called and said something about Hillary if she would become president. uh task with uh will uh be prosecuted uh why she's in the office. And my question is. Back here some time ago when they were talking about Trump's university, Isn't he also supposed to be going to court and prosecuting?

Or uh fraudulent. Yeah, I think Yeah, fraudulent business claims with Trump University, right, offering certain things and not delivering. Yeah, that's a point well taken. I think the difference would would would be this, that He would basically be accused of making a dishonest business deal, and he'd have to go to court for it, and if found guilty, You know, pay a fine or something like that, you know, reimburse people, their tuition, whatever, right?

So it wouldn't look good at the president of the United States. But I think a lot of people that we even vote for him say, look, the guy's a businessman. Maybe not every business was the best, or maybe they messed up here or there. Whereas this would be Hillary Clinton's. uh behavior as a government official While Secretary of State dealing with classified government information that potentially could have a jail sentence, you know, you could be a convicted felon.

So that I'm not downplaying the Trump University thing. And of course, we have no idea if he's guilty or innocent on that. But that would be the difference. And I'm not saying that to get you to minimize it or to vote for Donald Trump, but to say. It's one thing, let's say President Obama, before he was in office, you know.

Was a businessman and had a couple of shady business deals, and now people are suing him. And it's like, yep, you're right. You caught me there doing the wrong thing, so we got to pay a $3 million fine. Yeah, I'm ashamed of it, but we'll do it. That's one thing.

It'd be another thing if, as president, he was secretly meeting with leaders of ISIS about how to take over the Middle East. You know, so that again, I'm not comparing what Hillary did to that. But that would be the primary difference there. And go ahead. There was one other thing also, and I don't know, you may have heard of it or you may have even seen it.

But uh I uh watched Um Hillary's America. It would probably be interesting if people who have not seen it should see it. Oh yeah. Maybe they would have some different opinions about her. Come on, listen, I I had to nest the money.

I Gloria, I had Dinesh D'Souza. Uh on my show. to talk about the movie as it was coming out. And, you know, this whole idea of the Democratic Party, they're the friends of the poor and they're the friends of the African Americans. There's a bit of a history there, and you even have to wonder, although I definitely believe that there are people of compassion in the Democratic Party that feel that welfare policies and abortion policies and health care policies that they're offering are in the best interest of the poor, the best interest of the inner cities, the best interest of ethnic minorities, and that's why they do what they do.

I believe ultimately many, if not the great majority of the policies are terribly misguided, end up keeping people down. And the basic saying is that the Democratic Party in the past wanted free black labor, now it gets free black votes.

So, yeah, there's some major issues. And again, another reason under no circumstances could I vote for Hillary. Clinton. And again, if it was either or, if it was Hillary Clinton or someone more evil, you know, a horrific character like a Joseph Stalin or an Ado Hitler, then in that case, I don't vote for either. And some say, well, that's where it is between Hillary and Donald Trump.

That's what it is. I respect that.

I respect that, but I do have reasons where I will vote for Trump ultimately. But thank you, Gloria. Much appreciated. All right, friends, you hear the music, we're out of time, but you still have time. order.

Pre-order assigned numbered copy. Of Breaking the stronghold of food and get it in time for Christmas. My bottom line today, seven days and then the elections. What will you do? If you're looking for cutting-edge Christian commentary on the latest breaking news and insights on the state of the church, you've come to the right place.

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. Welcome, welcome to the line of fire, Michael Brown. Yeah, what a time to be alive. What a time to be on radio.

What a time to be writing. What a time to be following Jesus. Man, amazing times of upheaval. But I want to remind you: God is not in a panic. He's not wringing his hands.

He's not sitting enthroned in heaven saying, What am I going to do? And oh no, only two choices for the president and the marriage. What are we going to do? God reigns, God rules, and He gives us responsibility to act wisely here on this earth as His representatives. The question is, what will we do?

866-348-7884. That is the number to call as we talk about. The elections, as we talk about our role today, as we talk about the FBI investigation and other related news. And yeah, this is worth talking about as well. Let's grab clip number 11.

Clip number 11. This goes back a few days, and then we'll get to today. Uh Donna Brazil. who is um interim chair of the Democratic National committee was accused of Releasing Uh releasing Specific questions One in particular, they're Hillary Clinton. before presidential debate.

Saying, hey, I've got this from one of the moderators. Here's one of the questions that's going to be asked. She has outright denied it.

However, WikiLeaks emails actually have the exchange. uh where where she's uh talking about uh in interacting with Roland Martin. Who is a TV one host who co-moderated March 13th Town Hall with Jake Tapper? And She mentions him by name. And says, I'll send a few more.

Those some questions rolling. Commit it, submit it from time to time. I get the questions in advance. This is what she wrote to someone else in the Clinton campaign, and that was one of the specific questions apparently that was submitted. And she'd say, well, I'm not saying the whole thing is false, but she claims to be persecuted.

Listen to this interaction with Megan Fox, number 11. You got the WikiLeaks released a March 12th Podesta email showing you messaging the Clinton campaign with the exact wording of a question asked at the March 13th CNN TV1 town hall debate. Where did you get it? You know, as a Christian woman, I understand persecution, but I will not sit here and be persecuted because your information is totally false. Yeah.

All right. In point of fact, so this goes back, what, 10, 11 days with Megan Fox. There's now more recent news about that she shared additional Debate questions with the Clinton campaign, and she identified her tipster where she was getting the information.

Okay.

Uh so So She's saying the information is false.

Well, you you got the emails. And no one has been able to demonstrate that the emails are anything but that emails. They're not forged. Not forged.

Okay? That's number one. Number two Number two. is when you get caught doing wrong, that's not persecution. Don't say I was persecuted when you when you get caught doing wrong, that's not persecution Now Uh This was In the debate between Clinton and Sanders.

And a woman did ask the specific question that was put forward that this was going to be asked. And Jake Tapper says that that this is very, very troubling. To hear these kinds of leaks, very, very troubling. And now, again, an article out today, Chuck Ross on the Daily Caller, posting about additional questions allegedly that she got and that she was submitting. She's denying the whole thing, calling it persecution.

Hey, listen, if someone breaks into your house and steals something, showing that you're guilty, it's run they've broken the house, but don't deny the deal and don't. call it persecution. 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. Thank you for being part of the broadcast today. Do you watch much? T V News Be it the major networks, ABC, NBC, CBS.

Or the Cable news networks, CNN, Fox, MSNBC. Any others, those are obviously the principal ones. Do you watch much news? Do you trust any of the news. Or do you read a lot of news?

Do you read a lot of news? Be it New York Times or Huffington Post or Washington Post or Drudge Report or Breitbart. Yeah, I'm giving things that pretty much polar opposites on things. Are there news sources that you trust? And what's your view on the reporting you hear from the mainstream media?

If you're old enough, like me, to remember, say, the days of Walter Cronkite. You know, people like that. How do you see them as compared to newscasters today? Are they creating the news? Are they shaping the news?

Or are they reporting? The news. 866-348-7884. So there is an interesting, okay. I obviously feel Well, they don't feel.

It's it's very obvious. Let's say here, we'll give you the complete, complete, complete. Obvious. That Sean Hannity. is all in for Donald Trump.

totally all in for Donald Trump to the point that And he certainly turned off a lot of his followers who were not that into Donald Trump. Whereas oh, Rachel Maddow is totally behind Hillary Clinton.

Okay, so we all know that. I mean, self-evident, no mysteries there. And on CNN, obviously, overwhelmingly, they're going to be pro-Hillary Clinton in their reporting, what they decide to report, the anti-Trump reporting, the nature of what's important. how things are stated, they're going to be overwhelmingly pro. Hillary Clinton.

And yet... I've seen Jake Tapper. a number of times challenge The Democrat talking points challenge what's being put forward. Uh not just accept you know the latest um Uh the the latest pro-Clinton talking points.

So I I direct messaged him the other day. And I just said, Seriously, you seem to be one of the most even-handed journalists out there these days, and he just shot back thanks.

So it's interesting.

Now, obviously, I'd still put him in the pro-Hillary camp, being on CNN and being a liberal. But that doesn't mean that you you don't try to be honest or impartial in what you do.

So here's some interesting interaction. This is on dailycaller.com. And Tapper just tweeted a link to one of Clinton campaigns. Chair John Podesta's emails published by WikiLeaks showing the campaign's total ignorance of the depth. of the private server scandal.

Tapper said Uh, quoted this: Do we actually know who told Hillary she could use a private email? Has that person been drawn and quartered? Question mark.

So, this was Wikileaks and the Podesta. Campaign working with Hillary Clinton as they're saying, who did they? realize the depth of this. And he tweeted that out. With a link to WikiLeaks.

So one of his followers sarcastically stated that he would wait with bated breath for Tapper to cover the story on CNN. And Tapper responded, I cover WikiLeaks every day, pretty much. That said, CNN as a whole is clearly aligned with Clinton and is not engaging in proportionate reporting. That's a tweet that came back at Tapper, and the majority of users seem to agree with that statement.

So, yeah, I would say, no question, CNN as a whole clearly aligned with Clinton. not engaging in proportionate reporting. Absolutely. I don't see any way to deny that. But it seems to me that Jake Tapper is doing a better job.

Of challenging some of the Clinton talking points or the whitewashing of guilt and the downplaying of the severity of the issues here.

Now, I get most of my news by what I read.

So, I'm watching clips that are posted, or I'm reading transcripts. I'm not watching the news a lot. You may differ, but I'm just curious if you watch, who do you trust, or do you? If you come to uh Uh Yeah. To come to me for trustworthy news.

866-348-7884. All right, imagine. Let's tell my corruption here for a minute. Imagine the scenario, if you will. The government decides to crack down on a shady internet company.

subpoenaing all their computer data. Within minutes At the direction of the CEO, one employee begins deleting thousands of documents while other employees begin to destroy their computers, cell phones, and tablets using hammers and fists and feet. You get in the picture? Then. When called on to testify for their actions, the CEO responds dozens of times with I don't remember.

while the employees who deleted data and destroyed their hardware are granted immunity or plea the fifth. Then When a government official is suspected of being in collusion with the shady company, that official also pleads the fifth. Said, what do you that'd be absolute Corruption. They need to be shut down. That's out that's outrageous This company's going to get nailed to the wall by the law.

I mean, picture it. Here comes the subpoena. All right, guys, we're going to destroy all the evidence. Start deleting emails. Start smashing computers.

Sir, you're under oath to testify, I plead the fifth. All right, tell you what. You who smashed the equipment, we're going to give you immunity while we still plead the fifth. Sir, you're going to have to answer for your actions. Why did you do this?

I don't remember. Yeah. Where were you then? I don't remember. Have you ever dealt with this company?

I don't remember. He said there's no way nobody would ever put up with that in a million years.

Well Here is a brief summary. Of the most glaring examples of corruption and cover-up in the Obama-Hillary era. I'm not even talking about Benghazi now in the. Lives lost with that and the cover-up with that. But I just want you to feel the weight of this.

And I've got a whole article on this: Obama, Clinton, DOJ, and the IRS. Are we more corrupt than Russia? you can uh read that Uh by going to the lineofire.org and clicking on the digital library. Yeah. So here's just a quick little list of highlights, low lights, whatever you want to call them.

When Lois Lerner was ordered to produce her emails, so Lois Lerner of the IRS, somehow they had gone missing. mysteriously scrubbed, And when called on to answer direct questions by Congress, she refused, pleading the Fifth Amendment. She was even held in contempt of Congress. Not to be outdone, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. And Lois Lerner's boss was almost impeached by Congress for his misdeeds and non-cooperation.

And the evidence against the IRS continues to mount.

So, what did the IRS do? They stonewalled conservative organizations that were applying for tax recognition, or just we want to be an official organization operating under the laws of the United States. And Lois Lerner, in particular, and others within the IRS slowed down their applications, worked against their applications. I mean, it's an absolute horror. It was completely unjust, and the list continues to grow.

Go to Hillary Clinton now. Her extremely careless, her reckless actions, to quote James Comey, FBI director James Comey, a couple months back, they occurred while she was Secretary of State. And it was only after her emails were subpoenaed by the FBI that she deleted 33,000 of them. She says she deleted them previously, but the evidence contradicts that.

Sorry, picture the F, the F. BI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Subpoenas you. I don't care who you are. Turn over all your emails and you go and delete 33,000.

Well, they're just like talking about yoga classes with my daughter and stuff like that. Yeah. Feels Then give him give them the yoga class emails. Yeah. The idea that you delete them after getting a subpoena?

It is utterly outrageous. You you talk talk about Guilt Johnny Did you eat the cookie? What's in your mouth? Oh, mommy, I gotta go to the bathroom real quick and I gotta brush my teeth. Oh.

Uh obviously you ate the cookie and you still have the cookie in your mouth. When you've got nothing to hide, you don't. Hide. Anything. When interviewed by the FBI about using a private e-mail server for government emails, she repeatedly stated that she didn't remember certain critical details.

Pointing to a head injury is the cause. And okay, so let's get her health records. Will James Colmy, FBI, get the health records? No. No.

She says she doesn't remember because she had a head injury. Let's get her medical records to verify that the head injury was at that time and would have caused lack of memory. No, we're not going to do that. Cover up. Anybody?

In June, When Brian Pat Pagliano, a former Hillary staffer involved with the remails, was deposed to testify by a conservative advocacy group, he pleaded the fifth no less than 125 times. I refuse to answer. This will incriminate me. 125 times. And this was after he'd been granted immunity.

And on and on the list goes. Talk about corruption. Ka uh Uh I'll be back. I'll be right back. Shake the new sign, change the world, change the world.

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.

Thanks so much for being part of the broadcast.

Someone just tweeted me. And ask for my input. It's Donald Trump holding up a rainbow flag, LGBT flag, at a rally in Colorado. And from looking at the YouTube clip, it looks like it happened yesterday. Uh And it's published by someone that's positive on this.

A lump on the throat. In time, uh, lump in the throat time to see Republican hold up the rainbow flag. Amazing seeing Donald Trump hold up the rainbow flag at a rally in Colorado. Am I surprised by that? Yes and no.

Yes and no. He's frequently said he wants to be a friend of the gay and lesbian community. And he'd be a good president for them. At the same time, he said he wants to overturn the marriage ruling, and he supports religious liberties. Either he's trying to play both ends against the middle.

and be a friend of conservative Christians and a friend of gays and lesbians. And you'd be a friend of both as human beings, but not a friend of both in terms of policies, right? I want to be a friend of every human being on the planet. But I'm obviously going to oppose certain policies and beliefs and And words of some, and they'd oppose mine, but we can still be friends as far as fellow human beings. Mm-hmm.

That being said. That being said Uh I don't either he's trying to play both ends against the middle or he doesn't get it. He doesn't recognize that he is doing what he's doing. And That would concern me. When he's been pressed in private meetings, Where people have asked me about religious liberties and the conflict between, okay, you're going to stand for religious liberties, but you want to stand for, quote, gay rights.

what happens when there's a conflict between the two, either he's not willing to address it or he hasn't worked it through. He hasn't worked it through. But uh Definitely, yeah, that is who he is right now. And when Christian conservatives speak to him about it, if they haven't, I'm sure they will. I'd be interested to hear.

his response. Does he actually is he actually friends with gays and lesbians? Is it New Yorker and businessman, Manhattanite, and you know, with his office is there and Trump Tower and all that? It's like. I'm sure.

I'm sure he's worked with plenty of gays and lesbians and maybe transgender folks over the years. and we'd have friends over the years. And might even think, yeah, you should have the right to do what you want to do, but now, either with a more conservative turn in his. Um in his own life or just Listening more to evangelicals like Mike Pence or Mike Huckabee or Ben Carson. Or those close to him or just wanting to get their votes, don't know what's going on.

Now, obviously, okay, so what's written on the back of the flag was LGBT's for Trump.

So he's of course going to hold that up. Uh does this now make everything murkier? You know, and he gets in, and everything gets murkier. Hillary Clinton, we know exactly where she stands. These are all valid, valid.

concerns. And again, if you're listening and you're an undecided voter, give me a call. And tell me why. Do I want to play this clip now? Tell you what.

Tell you what. This is this is wild. This is wall. Clip number 13. This is a Camden, New Jersey official.

She is introducing Hillary Clinton at a at a campaign rally in Camden, New Jersey. And apparently, it's not that she literally gets tongue-tied. It was I'm trying to say something I got tongue-tied legitimately. This is apparently Intentional. intentionally gagging on certain words, choking on certain words that she cannot.

Say Listen to this. MOOC! me Hillary can bring us together as one nation. Yeah. Uh indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Alright, hang on, hang on. Let's Play that. Yeah, I know it's the clips a little bit raw in sound. Let's play that. one more time and what happened to under God, let's listen.

Only Hillary can bring us together as one nation. Indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Oh, Okay.

So we got Donald Trump holding up a gay flag, gays and lesbians for Trump. Hey. In his mind, the man that I understand him to be, he thinks that's great, he thinks that's cool, and I'm your friend, and you recognize it. And and he would have No problem with a conservative evangelical getting up and speaking right before that and then holding because hey, we're all there, hey, they're they're all for. Uh, they're all for Donald Trump.

The Christians are for Donald Trump, the conservatives are for Donald Trump. The middle-class Americans for Donald Trump, gays and lesbians for Donald Trump, black Americans for Donald Trump. Hey! I welcome your support. That's what he's thinking.

But what this works out for, listen, he is either going to offend. The Christians or is going to offend the gays, or is he going to offend both? It's inevitable. Because of the differences in our Positions It's inevitable. And that's where there's going to be further confusion about where he actually Stands.

And I will shoot that link over to some of my conservative friends that have input on Donald Trump and say, hey, are you aware of this? And I understand what he's thinking, what he's doing, but have... Uh have you Uh Uh have you uh Spoken to him about these things.

Okay, one other. Clip, you know, I played it earlier. Let me play this again. Grab clip number nine, JJ, and this is. Former U.S.

Attorney and Washington, D.C. lawyer, Joe Dijanova, weighing in on James Comey and the FBI. If this Investigation had been conducted with regular order, which means you use an FBI field office with a group of professional agents. One of the things that they do is they cross-reference every other existing criminal case. close to it.

and see if there's any evidence that's available. They obviously didn't do that with the wiener case, because existing at the same time has the Clinton case. And For him not to know. that there was a potential This should have been an instinctive investigative decision if the investigation were being run properly. The first thing you would do is say, look.

You got anything in the Wiener area that relates to Uma Davidine, that's the first thing you do. It wasn't done. And the reason it wasn't done was because Comey kept this investigation in his own office with no regular field agents, and they didn't do any of the things that you normally do because he didn't want it to be a real investigation. Colby sent this letter today. Because he had to.

He has no moral authority inside the agency right now. He is a joke, he is a laughing stock. of the agency. And among former FBI agents, He has become anathema. Yeah, so again, it seems that would move James Colmy to do what he did, to move James Colmy to say, hey, we're reopening the investigation.

He had to. He obviously didn't want to. He had to. He had to because of the Wrong things he did with failing to indict her the first time around, now with a whole bunch more evidence of things that could be improprieties.

Now His hands are forced. That's what seems to be the case. Shake the nation, change the world. Change the world. 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 866-34TRU. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

You know, we've heard these rumors. We don't know what to believe, and I'm sure there will be even more rumors. That's why it is incumbent upon the FBI to tell us what they're talking about, Jeff, because right now, your guess is as good as mine, and I don't think that's good enough.

So the Clinton campaign shocked on Friday. When FBI Director James Comey said Hey, we're reopening the investigation. Turns out there are 650,000 emails on Anthony Weiner's personal computer. many of which apparently relate to government issues or issues with Huma Abedin, his estranged wife and the close personal confidant of Hillary Clinton, who if Clinton was elected was expected to have a high level a high-level position within a Clinton presidency.

Now, with her husband's sexting scandals with a 15-year-old that put him under investigation with the FBI, it's just a totally separate thing. And now it's like, wait a second, wait a second. Look at all the stuff that's there that could relate to Hillary Clinton. What if it ends up that there are classified government documents that are on this guy's personal computer? You pray for repentance and salvation and his life, redemption from it.

And hey, James Coleman, my heart's been going out to him because he's getting it from every side.

Now, he blew it the first time around. If he did the right thing, he would have been under hellish pressure from the administration, but he failed miserably.

Now, apparently, he is under heavy pressure from within to do the right thing. He's damned if he does, he's damned if he doesn't. Let's pray that God will use this in his own life. In the meantime, Democrats are going crazy against Comey with some of the most outlandish. Explanations.

And this is Michael Brown. You are listening to the line of fire. It is my goal to be your voice of moral sanity and spiritual clarity in the midst of a society and chaos in a church, all too often in compromise. But we are focused, not but, because of that calling, because of our mission. We are Focused on the elections quite seriously, but trying to get a kingdom perspective.

In other words, not just look at it like everybody else does, but step back. Say, God, what are you doing? What should we be doing? What's happening here in the elections? Trey Gowdy, Senator Trey Gowdy, was asked about a letter.

by Harry Reid.

So the letter is first read to him by Brett Beyer. And this is his accusations against Comey. Grab clip number seven. And this is Trey Gowdy's response. It's really quite outrageous.

Let's listen. Your actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double standard for the treatment of sensitive information and what appears to be a clear intent to aid one political party over the other. I'm writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatchet Act, which bars FBI officials from using their official authority to influence an election. Through your partisan actions, this is Harry Reid. You may have broken the law.

The double standard established by your actions is clear. Your reaction, Congressman. Thank God he's leaving, is my initial reaction. My second reaction is: I did not know Mormons use drugs, and anyone who is capable of sending out that press release has to be under the influence of something. The person responsible for this fact pattern is Secretary Clinton.

Jim Comey did not tell her to use a private server. Yeah, and Trey Gowdy, Trey Gowdy has continued to say, listen, if you're going to talk about the Hatch amendment and you can't try to influence an election, he said, look, right now the President of the United States is campaigning for Hillary Clinton. And Harry Reid's been involved in saying certain things to make, you know, against Mitt Romney to make him look bad, cast suspicion on him to hurt him in the elections. Mr. Gowdy rightly said, Trey Gowdy rightly said, it's laughable that Jim Cohen committed a violation of the Hatch Act.

All he's saying is, look, I over and over and over and over said there was no Further evidence, we're closing the investigation.

Now I need people to know it's being reopened. That's correct. That's correct. 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. So so let me give you a friendly piece of I uh I gave it earlier in the broadcast I want to give it now as we welcome many, many of our new listeners that come in right at this time. time of the day every day.

I just want to give you a word of friendly advice. If you got skeletons in the closet, if you got stuff in your past that could come back to haunt you. Deal with it. Deal with it. Uh Yeah.

If you got something that, oh no, if this ever comes out about me, oh no.

Well deal with it. You say, how do you deal with it? Have you gotten right with God in that area? Have you gotten right with people involved? See, if you've got right with people involved, let's just say.

That 15 years ago. you engaged in in some criminal behavior. And you, that's when you got born again. That's when you came to follow Jesus as a result of that. And you did the community service you were required to, and paid substantial fines, and you have had an impeccable.

Uh business Record since You don't have to hide that.

Someone brings that up and says, oh yeah, that's part of my story. It was shameful. That's what led me to become a follower of Jesus. And that's why my life has been so radically different since.

Now, I don't mean that we have to go broadcasting all of our secret failings for the world to hear. or share our private life publicly. But in the sight of God, when you've dealt with something before God and before people, Then you can sleep. Securely. What if it comes out?

There's no problem. If it comes out, you say that was dealt with a long time ago. You know what it's like? When I I'm filling out a medical form now, right? I was at a doctor's office today and I had some shoulder issue I was having.

And I gotta fill out a form that had this problem, this problem, this problem. High blood pressure.

Well, some years ago, yes, it did. But I radically changed my diet. And today, even all the rushing around, and you know, you could be slightly stressed at the doctor's office, whatever, my blood pressure was 112 over 65.

Okay, I mean you can't get much more ideal than that. Uh at its worst, it was 149 over 103. That's bad. That's bad. So yeah, I had that problem, but I don't.

By God's grace, I changed my lifestyle. In fact, Time for a very important announcement. time for a very important. announcement. Uh Um Tomorrow, for the first time ever in the history of the line of fire.

I've been on Daily Talk Radio. We're in eight years now.

Okay.

Eight and a half years of daily talk radio. For the first time ever. I have a guest coming on to join me. Say, what's that got to do with high blood? Stay with me.

I'm going to tie everything together for you as we always seek to do. All right. Uh Tomorrow, for the first time, a guest I have been trying to get on the show for years and years and years, finally. She will be joining me on the air to yes! My bride, Nancy, my best friend of forty-two years, my wife of more than forty years.

She has finally consented to come on the radio, and for one reason only. She knows that our book, Breaking the Stronghold of Food, could literally be the difference between life and death. for many, many readers. She and I know the importance. that a healthy lifestyle can have, how your whole life can be transformed.

So trust me, it took pushing because she has a lot to say, but she likes to say it in private. Even to get her to write as much as she did to co-author with this book for me, it was tremendous effort we both put in to really make it work. And I think you'll find her words to be the most important in the book by far. But she just she'll say what she says privately. She might interact with some folks on Facebook or something like that, but she does not like to speak publicly.

We have had meetings with large crowds where they've insisted, Oh, Mrs. Brown, you must come up with your husband and say something. And she's just smiled and said, No, nothing to say, and sat back down, you know, or said maybe 30 seconds. And that was it, but those 30 seconds, man, they were more important than my one-hour message. But I said, Han, look, we got to do this.

We wrote the book together. We gotta do this. And she said, okay, and she consented.

So that's tomorrow's broadcast. You don't want to miss it. But all that to say Yeah, I I can put on my medical form. I used to have high blood pressure. Yeah, I used but I don't.

Yeah, but that's not who I am now. Because by God's grace, two years and two months ago, I completely changed my lifestyle and eat only healthy foods all the time. without exception. And by the way, I thoroughly enjoy my healthy lifestyle. and I am thriving in every way.

So, yeah, I used to have that. Yeah, I used to get three, four headaches a week. I don't get them anymore. Yeah, I used to have not high cholesterol, but too high. And now that's unbelievably good.

I mean, went from low 200s to 123, and the good is great, and the bad is low where it's supposed to be. And on and on, I could go on with things, how my life's been changed. Yeah, so that's, yeah, and it's even embarrassing. I look at old pictures, I say, man, I was fat. But I'm not that person.

now, okay? I'm not that person.

So what's the point? If there's something in your past, okay, it's embarrassing, but you dealt with it before God and with people. then it's not going to come back to haunt you. if you've been righteous about it, God will cover you.

Well, it came out fifteen years ago, sir, that you you cheated on your wife. Yeah, I'm ashamed of that. I'm ashamed of it. But my pastor knew about it, my church knew about it. Uh, my family knew about it, others knew about it.

We fixed everything, we made it right. My marriage is more solid than ever. I'm ashamed of that, it did happen, but we've got a great track record.

Okay, even though it's a negative, God will still cover you.

Okay.

Yeah, sir, you were caught. uh lying uh uh to to the IRS about ta and and you had to pay all these fine yeah I'm ashamed about it and uh it that was two years before I became a Christian I was a corrupt person then yeah that's that was me I was a corrupt person And that was the only thing I lied about. But we got it all right when I became a Christian. We went back to the IRS. In fact, I paid more fines than I needed to pay and so on.

Yeah, and it's all rectified and all. And check my records. See, it's nice to live with. Ah, that's it I hide. Here, you don't know what next might come up with Donald Trump's past that we don't know yet.

I mean, I assume the worst. I always assume the worst about his past, and none of that surprised me. My only question is: who is he today? Has he changed in any way? Has he changed?

You say, come on, he's almost 70. Look, there's such a thing as a dirty old man. You can be 90 and and still filthy in heart and life, okay?

So That's what I want to know. Yeah, I knew who he was. Who is he now? That's my question. Is there going to be another new revelation?

of corruption from Hillary Clinton's past. It seems so. And it seems to me that a difference between the two of them Is that he kind of wears his sins for the whole world to see him? He used to boast about. these things.

That's who he was. He was a womanizer. Is there in a rich Playboy, whether married or not. That's who he was. He was a narcissist.

It's all about him. Trump, Trump, Trump. That's so no mystery there. Look, if I ask ten people, Critics of Trump Supporters of Trump, be as honest as you can. Enlist ten.

of his greatest weaknesses. They've probably come up with a lot of the same stuff.

Okay, Hillary supporters. Tell me 10 of her greatest weaknesses. Hillary critics, 10 of her greatest weaknesses. I don't think you come up with the same list because her stuff is consistently denied. and covered up.

You see, that's a difference. Oh, I'm not saying Trump has dealt with his past righteously. I'm not saying he has owned it. I'm saying he has worn it. Whereas Hillary has hidden it.

You know, it's an interesting thing. But I'm from New York originally. You kind of tell it like it is in New York, you know? If you got a problem with somebody, you got to tell them. When I moved to the south, I found wow, the people are much nicer outwardly.

Much more courteous. You know, in New York, how you doing? Hey, how are you doing? How you doing? How are you doing?

You don't answer the question: how you doing? No one's asking you, it's just hi. In the South, how you doing? I'm doing great. Thank you for it.

That is so kind of you to ask. I talked to a major businessman in the South. Years back when I lived in Pensacola, Florida, and he told me to that day he still dealt all his contracts with a handshake and said if he couldn't make a handshake agreement with someone, he wasn't going to work with them. He was like a major builder. Are you serious?

Yeah. Still did that. But I also found out that you didn't always know what they were really thinking. They might be smiling outwardly, but hating you inwardly.

So Trump is like the New Yorker that, yeah, what you see is what you get. in many ways. And it's hard for him to hide that. He may lie about certain things. It's hard for him to hide that.

Because Hillary Clinton has put on a certain veneer that many have looked at her as a champion of righteousness and all these other things, where the. The corruption is off the charts. I share just a list of some of the things associated with the current administration and corruption of the Hillary campaign. And, you know, look, even CNN. When uh CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin Learned.

uh about her hillary staff destroying cell phones get rid of the ever get rid of delete the emails destroy the cell phones smashing these things with hammers or whatever She was so surprised, she literally couldn't believe it. This is a CNN pro-Hillary. correspondent. And by the way, when Attorney General Loretta Lynch was asked to testify before Congress about secret payments to Iran where they ransom payments, you know what she did? She pleaded the Fifth Amendment.

You gotta be kidding me. 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.

Welcome, welcome back to the line of fire.

Well, not only are there growing allegations which seem to be verified by hacked emails. that there was complicity. with CNN. Or some individuals within CNN and Donna Brazil interim. uh department uh chair for the Democrat Party.

that she was getting questions for the debates. in advance of the debates. And there's some cases where it's at least one case where the exact question was asked by someone, so Hillary Clinton knew it was going to be coming during the debate with Bernie Sanders.

So picture that. You're alerted in advance. Here's one of the questions. You know exactly it's going to come. You know how you're going to answer it.

You think it through with your team, as opposed to you just get hit with it off the top of your head. All right? Uh so there there are Uh there are now growing concerns about that. And check this out. C Donna Brazile, okay, who's working with CNN and was the chair of the Democrat National Committee.

She has been caught again Passing debate questions from the network to the Clinton campaign. And CNN fired her. fired her today. Releasing a statement, okay? I'm just making sure I got my dates right today.

Release a statement: We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor. Yeah, I'm looking at another article. CNN Can't Donna Brazil, completely uncomfortable with what we have learned. She calls it persecution. It's not persecution when you get exposed for sin.

when you get exposed for doing what is wrong. Um Yeah.

Okay, and anyway, just uh en enough with that. And I just saw this now from observer.com, which I believe is run by. Uh Trump's family. If I'm correct, son-in-law, is that right?

So I just saw this now for the first time. It's three days old. A 2006 audio emerges of Hillary Clinton proposing rigging Palestine election. On September 5th, 2006, Ailey Chomsky was an editor. And staff writer for the Jewish press, and Hillary Clinton was running for a Scho-in re-election as U.S.

Senator. Her trip making the rounds of editorial boards brought her to Brooklyn to meet the editorial board of the Jewish Press. The tape was never released and has only been heard by the small handful of Jewish press staffers in the room. According to Chomsky, his old school audio cassette is the only existent copy and no one has heard it since 2006 until today when he played it for the observer. The tape is 45 minutes and contains much that is no longer relevant, such as analysis of the re-election battle that Joe Liebrun was then facing in Connecticut.

But a seemingly throwaway remark about elections in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority has taken on new relevance amid persistent accusations in the presidential campaign by Clinton's Republican opponent Donald Trump that the current election is rigged. Speaking to the Jewish press about the January 25, 2006 election for the Second Palestinian Legislative Council, the Legislature of the Palestinian National Authority, Clinton waited about the result, which was a resounding victory for Hamas, 74 seats, over the U.S. preferred Fatach, 45 seats. Quote, this is Senator Hillary Clinton speaking 10 years ago, apparently on an audio tape that they have transcribed. I do not think We should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories.

I think that was a big mistake. And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going. Yeah. Whoa. Whoa.

Let me read that again. Again, this is being published saying they listened to the tape from 10 years ago.

So they would they would be in terrible Legal trouble if this was just manufactured or someone said they heard something.

So, this is based on hearing the tape. Hillary Clinton speaking about Palestinian elections, which then went the way of Hamas instead of Fatach. And that's not what America wanted to see. Quote: I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake.

And if we were going to push for the election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win. Chomsky recalls being taken aback. That quote, anyone could support the idea offered by a national political leader in the list that the U.S. should be in the business of fixing foreign. Elections.

So my brows were also raised when then Senator Clinton appeared to make a questionable moral equivalency. Regarding capturing combatants in war, the June capture of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit by Hamas militants who came across the Gaza border via an underground tunnel was very much front of mind. Clinton can be heard on the tape saying, and then when Hamas, you know, sent the terrorists, you know, through the tunnel into Israel that killed and captured, you know, kidnapped the young Israeli soldier, you know, there's a sense of like one-offsmanship. And then these cultures of, you know, well, if they captured a soldier, we've got to capture a soldier. As if Israel now would be off they captured a soldier to retaliate, you know, that's kind of like One offsman ship.

As opposed to that's all that Hamas is is guilty of. According to Hamas, the article says, which to this day remains on the State Department's official list of foreign terrorist organizations with the armed forces of a close American ally, was not what many expected to hear in the Jewish press editorial offices. According to Chomsky, Clinton was gracious, personable, and pleasant throughout the interview. Take about an hour to speak to, in addition. to himself, managing counsel so-and-so so-and-so.

Um yeah, I'm not going to go through the rest of this, but If there's no further context to this. if there is no further context to this. Then All the more. Yeah, and let me say this. To interrupt myself.

I fully expect that America does this. And not just under Democrat. Yeah. uh presidencies or or Congresses. I fully expect that America has done stuff in foreign nations Two rig elections.

To get rid of a bad guy, to get a good guy in. There's even been behind assassinations. I believe we've done that. If we thought it's a war issue or take this person out, or have this outcome And certainly, there is strong evidence that President Obama tried to undermine Prime Minister Netanyahu's. last reelection campaign.

And of course, Netanyahu has succeeded and Obama failed. The evidence seems to indicate. terms of direct complicit involvement of the Obama administration. That's the best evidence that I've seen. But for this to come out now If true.

That Hillary Clinton as a senator was talking about, yeah, we shouldn't have pushed for an election. And if so, then we should have pushed to make sure we get the outcome we want it. Is that anything but rigging an election, the very charge that Donald Trump is raising? Hey, so here's my prayer. God bring to light What is hidden about these candidates that we need to know so that we can vote righteously?

Again, for many reasons, I cannot vote for Hillary Clinton. Many of you say, I can't vote for Donald Trump either. My doctor today said, hey, give me your advice. He said, I can't vote for either of these two jokers. What do you suggest?

He said, well, read my article on why I'm voting for Donald Trump. But let the truth come to you. to the light. Fair enough? All right.

Tell a friend. to join me tomorrow on the broadcast. Do your best to schedule your day to listen. The first ever interview with my wife Nancy on the air will be talking about our new book, Breaking the Stronghold of Food. My bottom line today, you know, Moses said it.

3,500 years ago, be sure your sins will find you out.
