Hopefully, he'll he'll pop back up here in a second. All right. And uh, I want to play this clip for you guys because there are a lot of people in the country that want to leave America. I'd like to get a GoFundMe or something like that started to help these people out on their on their journey. Uh, I'd be more than happy.

But I want to play this clip for you guys, get your thoughts, and then uh, we'll go from there.

>> What's your What's your net?

>> My net is So, I just started this job, so I'm still like seeing what it is after taxes, but I think my net is around $5,800 a month. And then I also get uh disability from the VA.

>> Why did you get disability? You were in the military.

>> I was in the Navy for two years.

>> What'd you do?

>> Okay. He went to school and the Navy paid for it and then he got out medically.

>> I was naval reserve and then.

>> And what's your disability?

>> Uh, depression and anxiety.

>> What's the net again? $5,500.

>> The Yeah, sorry. $5,800 for the salary. And then the money that I get from the VA is around like $270.

>> Are you not patriotic?

>> With blue hair? You think I'm patriotic? You can still be patriotic and be wrong about economics.

>> Be patriotic when we're spending more money on bombs than we are for like social justice or like.

>> Social programs.

>> We spend 50% of the federal spending on social programs.

>> Like what?

>> Social programs, Medicare, Medicaid, mandatory spending, SNAP benefits, veteran benefits.

>> You mean SNAP benefits that people just got taken away from them?

>> You think everyone just got taken off SNAP?

>> Most people.

>> Everyone. You think the majority just got taken off SNAP? Our military spending is 10 to 20%. And that's.

>> The bombs you're freaking out about. 10 to 20%. It's egregious. We spend 50% on social programs.

>> I'm a military kid and I can tell you that [ __ ] is not needed.

>> Girl, you literally just got the information that you were just wrong and yet you're still doubling down. We don't spend the majority on bombs.

>> Okay, maybe it's not the majority, but it's well.

>> It's not even close to the majority. It's not even a quarter.

>> It's far too much.

>> Okay, you can advocate for that, but that all of a sudden it doesn't You just said we don't spend anything on social. That's where like more than half of our money goes. Like what are you talking about? You're as usual. You're uninformed about everything. I think it needs to be more.

>> You're just not patriotic. What do you mean? We spend more than like anyone. Well, number-wise, absolutely.

>> Yeah. Well, tech technically.

>> By technicality. Techn. By money.

>> By per capita. By. Yes, we do a lot. We're a very progressive nation. We have the most progressive income tax in the entire Western world.

>> Okay.

>> Oh boy. I love when people have no idea what they do and then they're just not patriotic. It's like, dude, you're literally not a contributor. You should be the most patriotic person. You contribute nothing.

>> I mean.

>> You contribute literally nothing. You've only been a taker and and yet you're the one that doesn't like the country. Then the one that gives everything is the one that likes it. Leave where?

>> Anywhere.

>> I used to live in Germany. I'd rather.

>> Grass is always greener. What would you be doing in Germany?

>> I could still be an artist there.

>> Yeah. You think Germans just immediately they're like, "Oh, you want to be an artist? Let's give you $80,000 a year."

>> I know that they're not going to give me $80,000 a year for being.

>> Would all of a sudden happen. I think if I was able to do my art full-time, I'd be able to make the money I need to make.

>> Yeah. Germans trying to pursue art in failure. That always goes over well.

>> All right. Well, yeah.

>> That was a pretty good one.

>> What do you mean America's making you in this situation and everything would be better if you went to Europe? How you would still be an addictive that spent all the money you'd get, which would be less money over there, on CSGO? How's this America's fault? This isn't America's fault. I I I said that out of how how it's easier to make money inside money over there in Europe versus in America.

>> It's easier to make inside money.

>> Side money like cash and stuff like that if.

>> In what way?

>> You can do like neighbor tours and stuff like that. So like.

>> Do neighbor tours here? What do you mean?

>> People don't have money to spend on other people for.

>> Objectively incorrect compared to any European nation besides micro city-states. Our disposable income, which is income after everything important, is higher in the United States than anywhere else in Europe except for like the micro dick states where it's like a city that completely over boosts the numbers because they don't have any rural populations bringing it down. What are you talking about? That is statistically incorrect.

>> I guess I'm wrong if you have to.

>> Yes, you are wrong.

>> But we don't have a VAT tax. They do their VAT tax across their entire middle and lower classes to pay for their entire social welfare state, which you can advocate for if you want, dramatically makes their disposable income less. And that's fine if you want that kind of culture, but they do not have as much to spend on the Why do you think our consumer culture is so extensive compared to every other country? It is because of our culture for sure, but it's because we also have the means to do it. Even our poorest people here are fat.

>> That's true.

>> What do you mean? What are you saying? Where did you pull that from? You just pulled that out of your ass, man. You just pulled that out of your ass. How are you saying I could just do better in Europe? America didn't make you spend $8,493.53 cents on an interesting credit card down and CSGO skins. It's not America's fault. Capitalism didn't do that. You did that.

>> I did that in the mindset of.

>> So what the [ __ ] are we doing? How can you say your life would be better somewhere else? Grass is always greener. Europe is great in many ways, don't get me wrong, but you can't just say all of a sudden the life would your life would be well, your life would be different, but not in the way that you're just advocating.

>> I probably wouldn't have a PC over there cuz it'd be too expensive to afford to be honest.

>> Your income would be dramatically lower.

>> I just think everything in America is too easy to get to like spending wise.

>> Then don't you know you are the one that gets the swipe.

>> Yeah. And I'm the one that's doing it.

>> So you need the government to baby you and bring the income per capita down so you can't spend.

>> No, it's just.

>> You need the you need policies in place to make sure your income is lower so you can't spend money.

>> No, it's just it's just it just makes it too easy to spend here, I guess.

>> What are you advocating for? A policy to make it harder for you to spend?

>> Oh, no. It's just.

>> Then what are you saying, dude? What are you saying? Advocate for something. Have some balls. What are you saying?

>> I'm just saying that getting a getting this credit card and I got and I immediately started spending money. I wish I didn't spend the money on and I ended up doing it because I thought it was a great investment for the future.

>> Oh, you're a Oh my. And you think that's different in Europe?

>> I wouldn't be spending as much.

>> Are you sure? Listen.

>> Wow.

>> Oh my goodness. Thank you, guys. Thank you.

>> Wow. These people are crazy, man. These people are crazy. He's absolutely right, man. Some of the most some of the least patriotic people in the country take and receive the most from the government. It is it is insanity. The dude that started this thing off.

>> He was in the military for two years. He only was in school. He gets out from off of a medical said he suffered from anxiety and he gets $2,000 a month. They I really think that, you know, and as a veteran, I think we should take care of our veterans that do have issues after they come out of service, but they got to get this under control. The people that are just applying, there's nothing wrong with them. Absolutely nothing wrong with them. We're paying entirely too many people that don't have any real issues. Seriously, Jeff, you can go with this wherever you want to go. What are your thoughts, bro?

>> Well, I decided to bring out my notebook today when I was watching this because this was going to get good. So, for the audience, are you guys on the panel? Anybody heard of the concept of girl math?

>> You know, girl math.

>> Where math don't ever really quite make sense, but it's just something that they want.

>> It's there, but we don't acknowledge it.

>> I'm talking about Sister Cole. Sister Cole. So, girl math is when her money is her money and his money is our money. So for me, liberal math is uh everybody else's money they feel like is their money and they can obviously argue and say like we always there's always a need that they think somebody else can pay for.

>> My view with this is kind of like liberal math ends up resulting in what's happening in New York.

>> With Governor Kathy Hul.

>> Yeah. And Mam Donnie where they're running on policies where they're constantly talking about who's going to pay for it as if the people who can afford to pay for it don't have the ability to afford to leave.

>> And now of course, you know, she's begging for people to come back. And again, again, we see this, we see this, this, this, this stupid idea of we'll keep raising the cost of living. We'll keep talking about increasing taxes, but we never think about the people who can actually afford the tax base that we're talking about. They can just leave. They'll always will go to a true capitalist, a person who's smart is going to always look at where they can put their money, where their money can go the furthest. This is logical. It's not wrong to want to keep the resources that you work so hard for. So, for me, this isn't shocking. It's not surprising. And what I've learned over and over again is like the people who end up getting like that um are one and two people. One group is the people who haven't accomplished or built anything. Um, typically people who were born into something, um, you know, so you may have the Madani or other people who were born into money where they they're not used to actually knowing what how much it actually costs to build something up. And then the other people are the people that we watch in the video where they're, you know, they they've they've gotten away with things. They they've escaped certain things. So now they're at a strange place where it's like, I'm unhappy. I want to be happier. And the only way I can think that'll make sense is if other people pay for it. And I'm like, listen man, this is liberal math.

>> Everybody else miserable.

>> It never adds up. It always leads to like this is the crazy part with cities where the cost is the most expensive in the country. Um, they they turn the cities into a place where they end up complaining about not being able to afford it and then they end up moving to Texas and Florida and other places and then the cycle continues.

>> So I'm at a place where I'm going to propose a policy and brother W y'all could tell me.

>> We may have to reevaluate it. We going to have to start banning liberals from from coming to certain places. I live in Jersey now and we paying the highest property taxes in the state and it and it's going up, not down. So I said, "All right, something got to change."

>> Well, I talk about that.

>> Mr. Bzel, what are your thoughts?

>> You talk about that all the time. Wise, you said, "Don't come here."

>> You know, here's here's my I thank you for those videos first of all, but I want to talk to the people that the brother was talking to rather than the brother himself. These people um I always say that your source is key. Whatever source you rely on for your information is key. And this is a great example. This is a great example of of of of my my philosophy that whenever these people say something stupid, we need to nail them on the spot and mass publicize so everybody sees just how stupid these people are. We cannot let them get away with their stupidity. And that's going to be a big way of helping to alleviate a lot of this madness that's going on in our society. Um, I think that it is important for us as believers to make sure that we know our stuff, know what we're talking about, and every time we get in conversation with them. And if you can record it, don't just talk to them in private cuz this is this is too important to keep private. Let's try to find way to record it and you can mass produce it here. People like this have to be made to feel stupid for where they are. Proverbs 26:4 and 5. The fifth verse says, "Answer them according to their folly, lest they be wise in their own conceit." Don't let them walk away from you thinking they got it going on. That's my concern.

>> Absolutely. How many people out there uh in America are complaining about the economy and complaining that they don't make enough money, but they're fiscally irresponsible? It's not that they don't make the money. It's the fact that they don't understand how to handle their finances appropriately. Crystal, we'll give you the next word, but what are your thoughts?

>> Listen, when I tell people to go outside and touch the grass, I really mean to go outside and touch the grass. Like for real, for real.

>> Because like forget this touching, they need to lay and roll in it and embrace throw the throw the throw the blades up and let it fall on you because I'm so serious. These people the first of all my brother my brother at the cop is talking about listen how you how he get more benefits than I than I get and I'm 100% disabled and they get more than I do exactly this is the craziness this man went to Navy school came out and he had anxiety he had anxiety so he gets $2,000 again the math is not mathing, okay? The math is not mathing. Now the thing is, I support please leave because we saw what happened when the women went the woman what did she say? They escaped to Canada and they're a refugee in Canada and she saw the reality of the same laws that she hated in America and she called Donald Trump a fascist for for some weird reason. Now when she gets there, she has to abide by those same laws that she hated here in America or the one who ran off to uh Ghana or somewhere in Africa and thought, listen, I'm going to be with my people, but then turn around and begging and pleading, can I come back? Because wait, it it it America's better. Duh. We knew that the entire time.

>> So all I do is watches me. Please send them out. Let them go. My favorite one was this last guy who said, "Please put policies in place so I don't have to spend money." Um, so you have zero willpower. Is that what we're saying? Zero willpower. You're blaming America for your greed, your your need to want to spend money. And I just want to remind people, everyone that yells about social programs and fascism and all this other stuff. I just did a whole video last night on on AOC because it's very interesting. They will yell about how the rich tax the rich, the rich, the rich, the rich, the rich all the time. The minute they have their hands on money, oh, they go to spending. Okay? They go to spending and they spend very well. They enjoy all the spending. So, it's not about social programs. It's not about social justice. It's not about helping people. They're just jealous. They're coveting other people's money. Thou shalt not covet. Amen.

>> They're coveting other people's money. And so when they get their hands on it, they act worse than what the other rich people do. They they act way worse than they do. So don't listen to these people with these fake social outrage and fake social programs. Don't listen to them. They they they're lying. We we see who you really are. Your mask is off. We know what y'all are about.

>> We talked about this on Friday. uh out in California, you know, 40 million people, only 17 and a half million are actually paying taxes.

>> Right?

>> And the wealthiest, the wealthiest group of people pays the majority of the taxes and they're threatening to leave because they're trying to implement that uh additional 5% billionaire tax when these people are already paying a lion share of the taxes. The greed is just the greed is un with these people. Amazing.

>> Kisha, what are your thoughts?

>> Out of control. When she said other people's money, I was like, you know, with OPM, yeah, you know them. You know, yeah, you know them. Uh, it's crazy. So, I wrote down when when um when you guys were talking, I was thinking about they they approach life from a totally different perspective from the beginning. Like their diagnosis from the jump is off. It's wrong. They the, you know, leftists and people who think like this like they start from the outside. They they blame something exterior for what's wrong interior. Like they you miss the part where you had, you know, your actions, your beliefs, your decisions. You miss that part that they actually do have an effect on your life. And it's it's this like entitlement. It's just not wanting to be accountable and responsible for your own decisions.

>> Come on.

>> And that's like I got to look at your mama and your daddy like that. These are household family like who raised you.

>> Basics.

>> Who raised you? Because you didn't get instilled. you didn't get the proper things instilled inside of you to where you were released in life and you were able to navigate like you you some something isn't right. And what it says to me is they probably weren't trained up in the Lord in the way that they should go. So when they got older, they would they didn't depart from it. And that doesn't mean like your children don't mess up or do bad things or anything like that, but it's like the core of them, those core things should be, you know, established and developed within them. And that's what I see when I hear these people because it's like you're you don't live in reality. You live somewhere else, you know, but it's not reality. It is not on planet Earth because none of the principles and rules that you've made up in your mind, they don't apply in this realm. Okay? They don't even apply in the spiritual realm. They just exist in your and the enemy's mind because it's it's not working for you. It's not working for you. And it's, you know, it's like people, it's hard to self-reflect. You're like, "Oh, yeah, I messed that up. That was on me." You know, but they don't they don't seem to have that muscle. So, it's just like they they approach the whole idea, the whole concept from it's an incorrect u you know, assessment from the beginning. So, you're going to if you if you started out wrong, you know, it's likely you're not going to end up in the right place.

>> Amen.

>> Absolutely. Uh, I've been saying this for a long time, you know, on the channel that I would love to see more people do something out of high school, whether it's the Peace Corps or Merchant Marines or join the military. Get outside of this nation to and get a real understanding of how green you actually have it here.

>> A lot of these people think that the grass is greener other places. And the people that have left, the lady we talked about that went to Canada, the lady that went to Costa Rica, the lady that went to uh and took her family out to Ghana, if I'm not mistaken, Jeeoff, I think that lady, she's from your neck of the woods up there in the Philly area. Uh, and got out there and was like, "Man, these people, they not like us." Like, yeah. uh just you know there was somebody and I think it was um it was Dave he was on a podcast and I cannot remember which one he was on uh Dave the business bully and he was talking to this this brother from Africa, I think he was from Benin and he was putting it out there that was like, hey.

>> You being black doesn't make you my brother.

>> And I was like, finally somebody says it.

>> Somebody said it.

>> I can't remember what show it was, but I'm watching this. I was like.

>> Was it Daily Rap? That's right. It was the Daily Wrap-up group. Dude, I was finally because so many people think that they're going to go over there and these people are just going to welcome you with open arms. It's not going to happen. Matter of fact, they're looking at you crazy because like, wait, you left America to come here?

>> Yeah.

>> Brother Wise, wait till they realize when they head over there, they got borders, too.

>> Yeah, absolutely.

>> They got borders, too. And they ain't they ain't doing handouts for Americans just to hang out undocumented over there, either.

>> No.

>> Well, you hear you're hearing the stories. They're getting scammed. They're getting robbed. Or worse.

>> You're a target. Actually, I can say that because I know my some my best friend is from um Nigeria. One of my best restaurants is from Nigeria. I know when people go to the islands, you're a target because you're American. There you're coming in and you must have plenty of stuff. So, you you are a target. You have a whole bullseye on your body. But people don't they don't think about that when they when they do that.

>> Oh, yeah. As soon as they hear your accent. I've been to a multitude of places outside of the outside of this country. As soon as you open your mouth, they immediately know American and they think you got some money.

>> Celeste, what are your thoughts?

>> For real. You're.

>> Muted. Muted. The interesting thing for black Americans is that black Americans think that because they believe, I believe incorrectly, that race is a key feature of American culture and American society, they don't understand that there are other countries. In fact, almost every place else in the world, race is not a key feature. It could be religion, it could be cast. Most in most places, it's class. It is not race. So walking around with a race paradigm and a race worldview is not going to serve you well when you leave America. I don't think it serves you well here, but there is a historical past that you can access, but it definitely is not going to serve you when you leave the country. And as for uh the video that we watched, um, this is an an uh an example of why the government should be constrained to its 19 enumerated functions because all of this social safety net and all of this giving uh of people, we give to the people, to the animals, the whales got their share. I mean, every everything exactly has has some representation in our federal budget and it's a it's not helping us. And I feel like it's really just to do two things. Number one, the welfare state was created and um is used basically to bankrupt the country. Uh, it's just so that it it can get us in a place where we can continue an endless amount of deficit spending to ultimately get us to a place where we bankrupt the country. And then the second is, once we're in that position, then the Marxists are able to achieve their goal. Since they cannot raise the standard of living for the rest of the world, the plan is to lower the standard of living for us so that we can meet the standard of living and have equity and par with the rest of the world. And since we will then be lower in terms of our um, our money and our sovereignty, we will be much easier to uh take over and much easy to be much easier for them to rule over us, which is the position they ultimately want us in.

>> That's right.

>> We'll give you the next word.

>> I'm just going to say this. If we can just go by the Constitution.

>> We would be in a better position.

>> That young man that does that video, I love it. Um, he has the same. So, I have.

>> Two degrees and both of them are accounting mathematics. Okay? And when I tell you I have the hardest time talking to people about taxes and what you're supposed to be doing and people just argue with me and argue with me and they go, "Well, these people don't pay their fair share of taxes."

>> If you go by the Constitution, we're not supposed to be doing these taxes. Which is the reason why we're in this predicament in the first place along with the central banking system and everything else.

>> Federal Reserve. That's right. When I hear these things, I'm just saying, yeah, they're not patriotic. They're they're not patriotic. They don't even have to like this country in order to understand the Constitution. And most liberals or progressives, they don't they don't understand the Constitution. They want everything, you know, ran by the government. But my problem is most people that are from this country that don't like this country don't understand how much the country has even enabled them to not like this country. Okay? You have the right to do this, that, and the third, and yet you're ungrateful. You have the right to go to school. You have so many things that other people would die for in other areas. And yet you don't take advantage of them. So when I see people that are overwhelmingly in debt, right? Um, overwhelmingly, you know, uh, homeless, meaning uh, they they move here, there, and everywhere. Nine times out of 10, it's them that are the circumstance or the issue. It's not really or it's never really the government. It's never really other people and we don't address that. We aid and embed that. Like we we sit here and we tell people that you can have anxiety right after coming out of Navy school. We sit here and tell people that, you know, it's okay to be in uh, you know, all these um social programs and and that there's nothing wrong with it. Um, that, you know, you should you should be able to live off of it. And then we tell a bunch of other people that we're going to punish you for your success. So ultimately, in the United States, we have a problem with sticking to a standard. And I think right now we're falling off of a standard. If we get back to the Constitution and what it was meant to be and what we're supposed to be doing, we wouldn't have all of these arguments and all these problems. Those are.

>> You're absolutely right. Dan, we'll give you the last word and we'll keep it moving.

>> Can you guys hear me? All right.

>> Yeah, we can hear you.

>> So, I was thinking about the second gentleman that was talking to Caleb there saying that the UK has more opportunities to do like side hustle work and I just think that's ridiculous because America is really the creators of gig work. And you look at all these people that aren't taking advantage of their opportunities. But even illegal aliens come here and take advantage of those same opportunities that Americans don't take advantage of. So then they sit back and make it seem like, "Oh, I can't find ways to make money or do this and that." Half the time it's just because people are lazy. People are weak. They don't want to do whatever it takes to reach that point of success. I mean, look at all of us in here right now. All of us are taking advantage of opportunities that are in America by using YouTube, right? Which can provide more opportunities. But to see people say that there isn't opportunities in America is ridiculous. And then you have the couple there that's receiving money from the military. Can you imagine a person that has the entrepreneur mindset getting an extra $2, $3,000 a month every month? They're going to take advantage of that and use it in the right way. But people that don't have the right mindset, that are lazy, this is what happens. And I don't know if it's a liberal mindset, but it is common in America. And then you add that with us not getting taught finances in school like we're supposed to, unless you go to college, it's just a downward spiral.

>> No, you're absolutely right. We'll read a couple super chats and uh, we'll keep it moving. Uh, let's see here. Sure. All right, here we go. All right. Shout out to Eric with the $5 super chat. Says, "Uh, you see that girl that fled uh the country to Canada and now is begging because she can't access social programs up there." Yeah.

>> Yeah. That's why I don't think a lot of people understand that when you do go to these other countries, there's no social programs for you. If you go to these other places.

>> They're illegal sometimes.

>> Or social programs that um you don't want to be on like in Cuba. Yeah.

>> Or you you see the girl who was from Canada that was going to a hospital here in America and the way she was like, "Oh my gosh, your the hospitals are so amazing and it's so clean and you don't wait that long and there's I was like, girl, is that that's how much better it is in America, but people don't. Yes. Well, even like cancer treatment, that one lady was getting denied treatment and she would have passed away in Canada.

>> Because they scheduled it out for like eight months and she was like, you know, had to get the ter the surgery right away. She had to come to America. They gave her the surgery like the next day.

>> Yeah. So.

>> Yeah, it's crazy. Shout out to Joe Buddton's voice coach uh with the $2 super chat says, "Jeff, post a live schedule so I can tune in." Right.

>> All right. I'll work on that. Shout out to uh Jimodi joining the ARP family. Appreciate you. Appreciate the support, man. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. Uh, shout out to uh World Radio with the $5 super chat says uh, "I've heard people uh floating a law uh if you can exit California to Texas, you can vote. You can't vote for 5 years. Don't export your bad policies when fleeing poorly states."

>> I agree.

>> Hey, I can get Florida to the list. Florida, add Georgia, add Alabama, add, you know, Indiana. Uh, yeah, if you're leaving one of these places, yeah, you can't vote. No.

>> You have to pass a test. Like, don't don't don't give me a good time cuz I will put a whole bill together. You have to pass a test to get into these places.

>> Okay.

>> Pass a test. Oh, you gonna put a poll tax on leaving states?

>> You need to put a poll tax on on counties here in Maryland.

>> Oh, man. Shout out to Lynn with the $10 super chat. Says, "Cities uh are cities are creating okay mass concentrations of people which produces animity and then apathy uh reputations don't matter anymore and blaming straw men becomes easy."

>> Shout out to the uh Memphis conservative uh with the $10 super chat says, "Good morning brothers and sisters. Uh, both our mayor and police chief disrespected Trump bad yesterday uh when he came here. They didn't show up and talk crap about him. I did a one-hour video about their tales, too." Yeah, man.

>> Yeah, they they they're crazy. They're crazy.

>> Memphis is a trip. Uh, shout out to Eric. $2 super chat says, "Uh, can we trade one for one for people's uh that want to be here?" Yeah.

>> That's a thing. Jody with the $5 super chat says, "Uh, speak truth to liberals. Uh, don't respond to the words of a fool with more foolish words or you will become as foolish as he is. Proverbs 26:4."

>> Uh, shout out to Papa D with the $5 super chat says, "Did Celeste get a seat at the grown folks table? Somebody tell her uh, we can only see half her face. Maybe put a pillow in the chair." Just kidding. Wives made me say it.

>> I didn't make you say that, bro. I I'll try and see if I can put my chair up a little more, but I'm almost as high as it can go.

>> I like I like how you tried to throw me out there like I said this like come on now, Papa Guy. Uh, PBE uh 777, he says, uh, "40% of your tax revenue comes from 1% of the total population. Share that with every person who tells you that wealthy uh that the wealthy don't pay their fair share. It's a lie. Yo, it's definitely a lie. Matter of fact."

>> Yeah.

>> The top 20% 25% of earners in the United States pays 90% of the taxes. If you make 90K or more, you're basically footing the bill for everything and everybody.

>> That's why I tell people all the.

time when we we've been saying this on this channel for quite some time. Uh, poor people don't employ folks and they don't pay taxes.

>> Come on.

>> That's right.

>> But but they they and they receive the most >> and they complain the most. It's the craziest thing ever. They should be extremely grateful that they live in a nation that have people that are willing to get out there and work their tails off so that they can reap the benefits of living and being a citizen here in the United States.

>> And it's not taxed just once.

>> The same dollar is taxed >> a thousand times.

>> Yeah. Well, that was just income tax. What I was talking about just that was just the income tax. That didn't include the property tax and you know the sales tax and and you know, every other tax that's out there.

>> Don't don't don't live in Maryland. They're taxing us like crazy out here right now.

>> Can I remind us that they're getting this information. Can I remind us that they're getting this information from major media that they trust so much and it's really messing up their minds. And I often that's why we have when we hear the media talk tell these lies. Every now and then they get they get nailed. But we need to stick to these m these major media that's just promoting these lies on a regular basis. They are they are really degrading people's thinking in our society by the way they so confidently promote this stupidity and make them feel good about their stupidity and being at state. They they make them think that they're the right ones and it's it's leading to people's not only their poverty but to their death.

>> No, you're absolutely right. It's unfortunate man because I mean mainstream media majority of it anyway is nothing more than the propaganda arm for the DNC.

>> They're not really out there giving people the facts, the data and the real statistics. They're just, you know, pushing propaganda on the people and it's

>> because it's

>> it's unfortunate.

>> It's law.

>> Yeah.

>> It's actual law.

>> You can push propaganda on the American people.

>> Thank you, uh, President Obama.

>> It's the Smith Month Act.

>> Yeah, there we go.

>> Month.

>> I'm sure it is. Shout out to uh Phillip. I believe that's an Australian dollar. Shout out to you, man, for the super sticker. Appreciate you. I believe that is

>> Australia. That's another Australian in here.

>> Shout out to uh is it Comm J Bates with the $10 super sticker. Appreciate you, bro. Appreciate the support. Uh we'll be right back with the uh ministers mind trust. Thank you, brother Wise, and welcome to Minister Mind Trust. Here's what's on my mind. I want to talk to you about the importance of Christians understanding and responding to the current conflict of history, religious, political, cultural, and social views that are being debated in our society today. In 1 Chronicles 12:32, there is a reference to the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do. There is a great need for this kind of Christian today, people of God who understand what is going on in our society and what our role is as Christians should be. In Matthew 16:3, Jesus rebuked his audience for not being able to understand the times, saying, "Oh, ye hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky, but can you not discern the signs of the times?" Paul also admonished believers in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:es 6-8 not to be guilty of sleeping when they should be awake and alert about what's going on around them. Quote, "Therefore, let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober, for they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that be drunken are drunken in the night, but let us who are of the day be sober." unquote. In 1 Peter chapter 3:15, Peter tells us to sanctify the Lord God in our heart and be ready always to give an answer or defense to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that lies within you with meekness and with fear.

In our society today, there is a conflict that is eating away at the very stability of our way of life. But the conflict is not simply about politics or culture, though it does influence and is reflected in both. The conflict is really about world views. It is a battle over truth and right versus evil and wrong. It is about the lies and deceptions of ungodly people and their desire to control the thinking and freedom of the masses. And unless people understand this, they will continue to be pawns under the control of such people who seek to dominate their thinking and their actions. And this event or this condition is common in dividing families and friends. So many people are sadly being infected with this toxic cancel culture mentality that we need to step back and take a good look at how we can avoid being a part of the problem and become a part of the solution. To do so, we have to know how to properly deal with family and friends who have differing views from us. When dealing with friends and family who hold different views from you, it is important to first maintain an attitude of respect and patience. Second, you need to know how to determine if they are sincere in their views or if they are intentionally seeking to mislead or just defend their bad convictions. Now to some even that thought is offensive because in their minds to question anyone's sincerity is politically incorrect. But that conclusion is irrational since being sure of someone's sincerity is necessary to avoid wasting your time. So what are some of the important things to know about getting people to see the truth? I will conclude with seven quick suggestions.

What we must first do is make sure that you have done your own homework and that you have sufficiently researched matters before being from that you have sufficiently researched matters by using reliable sources to make your determination and that you actually understand what you are talking about. People who fail to do this only add to the problem and to the confusion. Number two, make sure that you have reliable support for every thing that you talk about. Don't just assume that your sources are reliable because it is popular or because it comes from major media. First establish your source level of credibility and its level of conflict and then use the source or not based upon that knowledge. Number three, be courteous when communicating. Allow your opponent to complete their thought and insist that they give you the same respect and treatment that you give them. If they refuse to do so, you should politely exit the conversation to avoid wasting your time with someone who who apparently is not interested in getting at the truth. You see, some people don't want truth. They just want to argue. Number four, make sure that you are clear and brief. Get straight to the point and don't overstate your point. And try not to complicate your comments with unnecessary terms and big words. And always be sure to define your terms. Number five, pay careful attention to how they respond to the points that you make and only reply to what they actually say and not to what you think they were trying to say. This will put the blame on them if any confusion arises. Number six, always acknowledge when they have made a correct point. This demonstrates that you are not close-minded. Being unwilling to acknowledge an actual good point is prideful and it is counterproductive to any discussion. And finally, number seven, keep in mind that your goal is to win them, not to offend them. Now, while avoiding offense may not be possible if they are unreasonable, you must still do your best not to intentionally offend. But you are not responsible for their irrational thinking. I hope this was helpful. Thanks for listening to Minister of Mind Trust. I'm Dan Monk, Senior, and that's what's on my mind.

All righty. Welcome back. All right. Hopefully you guys enjoyed uh Minister's Mind Trust. Man, that was awesome.

>> That was awesome. That was awesome.

>> Um I want to kick things off before we go there real quick. I want to make sure that my folks hitting the like button for me if you haven't done so already. Hit that like button. And uh also shout out to uh Tom J Bates joining the ARP family, man. Appreciate you, brother. Appreciate you supporting what we're doing over here at ARP. Thank you guys so much, man.

All right, so uh I wanted to bring up something that Jeff sent over to me in reference uh the branding of the Republican party.

>> Uh I have a couple couple of questions.

>> Want to get a conversation kicked off. So there will not be a clip that will be played, you know, prior to this. But do you guys think that the Republicans have a branding problem? I think the argument may be simple. Uh Republicans do need to look into bringing in some younger voices. Uh Republicans need more visible diversity, not for W points, but because there are actual conservatives from all walks of life who aren't being seen or not really being represented in the party. So, uh, there are people out there that believe, um, that, you know, when you go to events, conferences, spaces, things of that nature that, you know, it looks the same. Uh, and I'm sure you guys know exactly what I mean by that. So, the question becomes, is this a perception problem or a pipeline problem?

>> Because if it's just optics, I guess that would be a marketing issue. But if it's a pipeline, that would be a leadership issue. And that's a entirely different conversation. So, uh, I want to kick things off with Jeff. Uh, what are your thoughts? You can go with this wherever you would like to go. Answer any of the questions, but what are your thoughts on the direction of the Republican party in 2026?

Yeah, as a person who officially left the Democrat party um on literally on 2024 um but but in terms of like actual paperwork um in terms of leaving the actual uh Democrat party um my I I was very hesitant about running out and starting to align myself with, you know, like well I can acknowledge I'm not a liberal anymore. I can acknowledge I'm not a Democrat anymore. But there was a whole host of stereotypes and things I had to weed through and and kind of sift through to even decide how much I'm going to align with certain conservative values, especially publicly. And what I've learned and observed is is that I I think that a lot of Republicans, especially um black Republicans, it almost comes off that there's like only two tracks to choose from. Um in terms of uh from the outside looking in. So from the outside looking in, the reason why even a lot of black men who may not identify with Democrats anymore, but just kind of stay being independents, may identify as being libertarians and kind of leave it at that, the two tracks that they kind of are presented from the liberal side is one side is that you hate the black community and that you and that you a sellout. you. Well, I'm not going to use all the words on brother Wise platform because I don't want to get in trouble, but there's there's B it's always in slavery talk where it's about, you know, being stuck on a plantation and sucking up to white people and everything. So, so one lens is that where it's it's a it's a self-hatred where their perspective is in order for you to be black and not a Democrat, you have to in essence hate yourself, hate your community, something along those lines. And then the other lens is it's not that necessarily you hate it, but you're completely avoidant of the topic altogether. Um, you don't talk about race, you don't talk about the things happening, the spec the specificity of things happening in different groups. And as a result, you're kind of left with either you're going to completely ignore the black community where you're just going to focus on talking about America as a whole and everything's always generalized, but you never get into the weeds of like unique needs and challenges or you just hate the black community and hate yourself and and all you're doing is pandering to white folks. And I'm like, I would love a a part two to the Republican platform. Uh what's his name? Uh Officer Tatum when he came on my platform and I asked him and he said he sees it himself. He's a very big face in the in the space, but when he goes to these conferences and seminars and everything, sometime he acknowledges like it is an optics issue. It is a marketing issue and he was like if and I'll even argue this, there are people who are running to the right who do have an agenda that's strictly about demonizing certain uh communities. That's real. So we of course we don't want to generalize that to all black conservatives, but they're a lot of them are getting the loudest voices. They're getting a lot of big platforms and the alternative is the black conservatives who kind of are just avoiding it all together and for whatever reason it's like it's not translating where it's like the Democrats losing in support is not translating to all of these people are jumping up and saying now I'm a Republican, now I'm a conservative. that there seems to be some imbalance with this and and you know me and brother Wise when we were kind of conversing about this I wanted to know from the platform everybody on the panel what you all thought about this if this is is this in my head or is this something that's legit an issue?

>> I don't know if it's an issue. Um I think some of it is just people just aren't that inclined to be involved with politics. Uh and I think you kind of see that from the right and from the left. Uh but when you look at the bench and you look at people like a Byron Donald's and you know so many others that you see that are running and then there was a young lady out in uh Chicago who just won the primary out there uh who's a sister I believe she's running for like a Chicago delegate position or something along those lines. So, you're starting to see more people get involved uh with politics uh that are, you know, I guess wouldn't necessarily be quote unquote your traditional uh Republican. Although I would probably disagree with that because I mean when you look at it from a historical standpoint, um you know, the first, you know, black politicians, you know, were Republicans. So, if you just look at it from a historical standpoint, that that was the case traditionally. But I think a lot of it just has to do with the fact that you have more people leaving the Democrat party. I think you have more going independent.

>> Some of it is you have maybe not that Republican traditional Republicans or people that have been Republicans aren't comfortable with black conservatives. I think some of it is you have some folks that are afraid to jump out there and say, "Hey, I am a conservative." for fear they're going to have their black card revoked or they're going to get told you can't come to the cookout anymore. They're going to get told that, hey, you are a self-hating one of these, you know, self-hating negro. Some of these things that you describe. So, it's a fear of that. I think they'll get, you know, in the ballot booth by themselves and they will vote conservative, but they're not going to be out here loud and proud with it because there's still a certain group of people um that are trying to keep people on that Democratic plantation. And if you do step out there, you risk you you're risking something. You're risking, you know, looking a certain way amongst family members and other po other folks in that community.

>> That that's my thoughts on it. Uh uh

>> I can say I I will say that I'm I'm in between both of you because you know I left I left y'all know I was I worked for the blue. I did work for them >> and then um like I said 2020 was the shift well after 2020 was the shift >> and to come out and say it which I agree with wise you're just like oh my gosh I'm going to have to now tell my family you know as I told Celeste this weekend and y'all I got to hug Celeste in person this weekend it was so much fun I just want to say that it was so much fun but um I was telling them this weekend my daddy was the only Republican in my family like the entire my grandfather was an independent. My dad was the only Republican. Everybody else was Democrat. And my dad, I always looked at my dad because my dad is great for being an antagonist. He would I would be sitting down there having a Super Bowl party or something. My dad would be coming in. Y'all know Republicans were the ones that helped to free the slaves. And I'm just like, "Daddy, why you coming in here disturbing the now you gonna make everybody go off, right?" So, I always looked at it like antagonistic and things of that nature. And I was like, "Man, now I'm going to have to tell the family and everybody gonna turn on me. I'm I'mma have my friends and so on and so forth. But on the other side of things, the optics is real. What Jeff because you'll see like we could name and that's the crazy part. We can actually name the black conservatives which is very weird. We shouldn't be I feel like we shouldn't be able to name because it should be so many that you it's that you're seeing them everywhere. Like I can pinpoint Byron. I can pinpoint officer Tatum. I can pinpoint specific people, but it's it it's it's it's like you you'll see them put on conventions and you hardly see you'll see the same faces come out to talk. You'll see the the Brandon Tatum come out. You'll see the Wesley Hunt come out and talk. You'll see you don't see different people showing up that look like us that that are out there. So,

>> can I ask you a question real quick? Do you think that's do you do you think that the people that show up are they do you think the Republican party isn't inviting other people or is it that there's people that just aren't being they're not willing to toss their name in the hat to be invited?

>> I think it's a combination. And the reason why I said it was a combination uh Celeste know we had a great conversation this weekend with April and Linda because April and Linda were there too. So we had a great conversation. One of the conversations we had was conferences where we will see which is conservative conferences where they know of of of people like us but they have conferences where it's very dare I say it very white. It's very white. You don't see a black face in the uh you may see a a Hispanic face but you don't see a black face within there. So you look at it and you're just like, why aren't there? Because this this this does cause that um division that that thing where people are like, well, are we invited? And so it's easy for others others on the other side to say, you see y'all over there trying to tap dance with the white folks, but they're not inviting you to none of they're not inviting you on the stage with them. They're not inviting you in those conversations. And that was a very, very deep conversation Celeste, April, Linda, and I had this weekend. where it's just like sometimes you look and you're just like, but why don't you have some more of us on the stage when there's so many of us now stepping in there? Um the girl you're talking about is somebody used to to to to um to debate with like we would debate on on the Tik Tok panels. Christian, that's the one who won Chicago, Christian. So very very happy for Christian winning there and just I've been messaging with her and just seeing how bad it is uh within the within the party itself. It's crazy because even within the party you have like people that look like us that are attacking other people that look like us and and and putting threats on people's lives. So I think the whole Republican party with the with the branding with everything because everything that she went through I was able to see everything because again we were we knew when she was doing it when we were on TikTok just the things that she went through from the black Republicans from the white Republicans that just everything that she went through it was horrible people there were people who didn't want to invite her there were people who didn't want her to talk there was so many different things. So that's what I'm saying. I agree with you where sometimes you're concerned about the black card being taken from you and your friends and family not, you know, looking at you a type of way. But I also think the the Republican party themselves, they have to do a better job job of branding, marketing, and putting other people outside. Well, we love Brandon Tatum, but who else is there? Let's get Let's get a wise on the stage. Let's get a minister Denzel on the stage. Let's get a ma on like Kesha. Let's get let's get Celeste to school all of them the way she schools people like put people out of the

>> violence violence you don't

>> well some of it is I think you got to go and but you also in order to do that they're not going to pluck you out of obscurity and I think you got to go and put yourself in you know whatever state you're in every state has the black conservative um group and then they have just the conservative group you get a lot of black conservatives that will go to the black conservative group, but they won't go to the actual overall and join. And I don't mean, you know, just show I'm talking about actually join. Go pay the money, pay the dues, and go be a part of the Daging program for real.

>> You can't ask people to just pluck you out of obscurity because they think they know you that you're a Republican, you know, or a part of the RNC. Go get be involved in the organization. Go get your face seen when they do these different events. Go out there and volunteer. So forth and so on. So, we can't ask people to do something that we haven't actually attempted to ingratiate ourselves in. Meaning, every state and almost every city has a Republican group. Every county has one.

>> Go join it.

>> Go pay the dues and go show up to the meetings.

>> Then participate in the conversations. I promise you, if that happens and we get more people doing that,

>> I promise you, we'll start to see more people in these positions. Now, I want to get uh Mika in on the conversation. My next question is, do voters actually care about who represents the message or is it solely about the message

>> as it as it pertains to Republicans?

>> Yeah, just the rep the Republican agenda in general.

>> Yeah, I I think so. I I think it's everything that we're talking about, right? Um, I think for the simple fact that with black conservatives or conservatives of color in general, I really do think it's an outreach problem that the um, Republicans have. It's an outreach problem because they're not it's been it's been such a gap that they don't understand how to actually reach that group. They don't understand how to how to talk. Like I normally go into not only conservative spaces, I go into liberal spaces and that's because I'm in liberal settings and a lot of the times they haven't heard it. They haven't heard the other side. They haven't heard the other talking point, right? There are a lot of them that are just my my mama and them voted Democrat, so I'm going to vote Democrat, right? And they don't know the other side. But then when you start talking about certain things, they're like, well, I don't really align with that. I don't really align with this. And so I think it's a it's an outreach problem. And then two, just like the left, let's be let's be serious. There are talking points, right? You can only be a conservative if you do this and if you like this and like this. And a lot of people forget about culture, right? We were just talking about race is different than culture and especially outside of America. Well, if you're if you're trying to get other demographics and groups, you have to understand the culture and understand what that culture has uh historically gone through and what that uh culture, you know, has in it that they they like to be represented. So, if they don't fit in this box, a lot of them a lot of the times may I like I like some of the talking points, but they don't they don't really speak to me. And it's not identity politics, right? you don't have to you don't have to conform or uh capitulate to a certain type of uh politics but you do have to understand people and all walks you know of of that demographic. So I I think it's really an outreach problem because I don't see them uh going to different types of conservatives. It's only the one type of conservative. And that's why honestly that's why I name my channel the messy conservative because I tend to talk about that type of stuff because they don't like to get outside of that box like, "Oh, if you do this too much, oh my gosh, you're not conservative." Absolutely not. Absolutely not. And they think they think that if I I put this type of conservative in front of people that it will it will resonate just because they're black. And to me that's playing the same game the left is playing the identity politics.

>> And and the reason why and I appreciate everybody that spoken up until this point definitely want to hear everybody else's feedback. Um two things that I noted based off of both what Crystal and even what brother Wise said and even actually what Mika said at the end. We saw the shift in the energy. For the longest, the Republican party was always viewed as the party for old white men. And then when 2020 happened on, we saw a shift in Gen Z participation, especially amongst the males and the boys when it came to them starting to identify with this. So we can see when they start making and we saw um Trump's uh approach with you know listening to his son, listening to the feedback in terms of this approach with running in in 2024. We saw a noticeable strategy change that resulted in significant shifts, demographic shifts in terms of support. They went to social media. They went to podcast. They went to podcast that men actually listen to. And I'm like, so let me get this straight. if they can get this down when it comes to gender and starting to poach and get more uh males that would have normally associated with liberals are now starting to sway like brother Wise is saying I can see them hopefully doing the same and then the second issue is all these conservative channels for for weeks at an end every time liberals and these different talking heads pander the most recent was uh Nome talking about he can't read and that's why he relate with black people.

>> We laugh at the fact that he's pandering and and and what's her name talking about hot sauce and collard greens in the bathtub and all this foolishness.

>> They're pandering, but they're in the room.

>> That's right.

>> They're pandering, but they're in the room. And I'm like, Republicans, my my view is exactly what Ma said. Are you going to the spaces and the culture where these people tend to operate? the barber shops, the the hair salons, the churches, the the very communities that we, you know, we go to individually, but like are we making more concerted effort and like and that's I'm going to give him credit. I don't agree with Charlie on everything, but Charlie wanted to smoke.

>> Charlie will go to the places and the spaces and and I'm like so reimagining if you take and again this is a combo. It's not just Republicans or the party just going to hand it out to you. You do have to volunteer. You do have to put yourself out there. You may even have to start doing it first until the funding comes later.

>> Yes.

>> But but my lens is is like I don't see that nearly to the degree that I see the the amount of pandering and craziness and lies and stuff that but they're going to those places to get all the and walking away with dollars. So we doing so home girl doing H.B.CU tours and walking away with a billion dollars.

>> And I'm like so conservatives ain't in fraternities sorities go to H.B.CU. use they don't none of them worship black churches too. And I'm like come on now. Like that's my view as a person who is much later where I started to feel what Crystal was talking about in 2020.

>> Originally I was starting to question this back in 2012 and that was when I first started realizing there's an issue. But when now that I'm finally out, I'm looking and I'm like, I don't see the the it's not about pandering, but I don't see the intentional marketing either of a demographic that they're like, well, the Democrats don't care about you and they don't want you and they're just lying to you. Yeah, but you're not even going to the places of where a lot of these people are. And like Ma said, it's one thing to see it on social media and be like, "Oh, they're a sellout. there when you pulling up to people face when I'm wearing red hats and going to down in Atlanta and I'm sitting on stages in the hood. I'm not doing that again, but I did it and the the response was not what I thought it would be where people were really were like, "Jeff, you wearing a red hat? You going down there? I don't know." And by the time it was over, I said many of the talking points that were said on this platform and when I got off that stage, people shaking my hands, asking about, you know, how they could support me. and I'm not running for office. So I'm like, well, what about everybody else who's been doing this way longer and is way higher in name recognition doing the same thing, you go with security. But when you go, I won't be shocked that more and more of what Brother Wise is saying, it's it's it is a trend. It is starting, but I think it can definitely explode in in my opinion.

>> I agree with that. And Celeste, I want to get you in on the conversation and I think that will happen. I mean, when you think about what President Trump did in his the previous campaign, he went to the NABJ, first Republican president to do that in like 20, 30 years.

>> Um, where else did he go? He went to the the Black Conservative um, federation. He went to their uh, meeting. He did do the barberh shop thing. So, he was like one of the first that did get out there and start to try to erratiate itself.

>> Um, >> and I think some of it is he had the right people in his ear having conversations. But that also means again I had to go back to in your city, in your state, in these RNC groups. We need more black folks to get involved and say, "Hey, hey, this is how you go and reach these people because they obviously don't know." And that's the difference between the liberals and the conservatives. The liberals actually have black people like Angela Ry and Roland Martin saying, "Hey, this is how you reach these folks. This is what you got to do. put that hot sauce in your purse. Tell them that you love collard greens and you wash them in the tub. All these stupid things

>> that a lot of us was offended by.

>> Never know black person,

>> you know, but that a lot of us I was offended by those things like really, you know, I was offended by it. But you got to get some people willing to say, "Hey, you're running. Okay, this is how you speak to this demographic of people. We can't expect for them to figure this out on their own because Lord knows that's not what the Democrats have done."

>> Yeah. They've used the useful idiots over on that side of things, paid them handsomely to say, "Hey, how do I talk to black people?"

>> But wise, you could even look at Mount Donnie in New York. Manny, if that man ain't pander, he speak Spanish at the same time.

>> But you know what? I don't want to be pandered to. And I think black conservatives don't want to be pandered to. So I don't want us to think that we got to stoop to the level of Democrats when it comes to speaking to black people. I don't want to be pandered to. And to be honest with you, I'm gonna start looking at folks sideways. If I see someone that is a a quote unquote conservative that's running for office and they in there talking about some I got my hot sauce and I'm Crystal Crystal Louisiana and Texas Pete is is what I rock with when I eat my greens. I'm going start looking at them sideways. So, I don't want to encourage folks to start doing the same pandering tactics that we see, you know, from the Democrats.

Celeste, what are your thoughts?

>> Um, I agree 100%. Um, and I don't actually think that the Republicans have a pan um have a branding issue in terms of black people. What I think the Republicans could do is that they need to actually um incorporate more excitement. And I think that that's what actually put them over the top in terms of Trump going to people who are exciting on online, who already have an audience or who already have an organization or who already are doing something that in attracts the demographics of a group of people. Charlie Kirk to young people because they were white. He went to them because they were young and he was like any place I can find young people I'm going to build something among them because at the time he was young and he was like I want to go this is my group I can speak to them and he did that quietly in the dark for a long time before people started to say hey wait this young guy is picking up some steam. he's got some really exciting ideas and he's got a bunch of young people that are that are um following him. I think the same can be true for black people, but I don't think that is something for the Republican party to do. I think that's something for conservatives to do. And I think the interesting thing is most conservatives are reluctant Republicans. We are not Republicans because we love the party. We are Republicans because it's the only place we can go where we can live out some of our conservative values and in the best case scenario most of our conservative values. However, and we know we cannot live them out in the Democrat party, but we are not like, "Oh my god, we're so in love with the Republican party." No, no party is should have that level of loyalty. But what that does when you build on the outside and you create your own level of excitement, when you do and you will get invited into these spaces and places, it allows you to go there with some leverage.

>> It when somebody is paying you, I think we all should get off the idea of of looking for a paycheck. I think we should all get on the idea of creating a paycheck. When you create a pay, you're also creating leverage. And when you go to the Republican party or to the convention or to the whatever, you come differently than you say, "Hey, um, will you pay me to do this?" as opposed to when they say, "Hey, listen. We'd like you to come with all that you bring because you created and built something and now what do you need in exchange for that?" We need to and and we need to do that one because politically we need to show people who will be interested in us whatever color they are that that is not only the way to behave in politics. That is the way to behave in every area of your life. In every area of your life, you should be trying to figure out how you can be living in a way that leverages something about you. Stop looking everywhere for somebody to give you a paycheck and learn how to make your own money.

>> You're absolutely right, Celeste. You're absolutely right. That's where

>> and and Trump even admitted this, you know, before or right after the 2020 election. He thought that he had done so much, which he had, that the results would speak for itself. and he didn't get out there and speak on the things that he was able to get accomplished prior to the shutdown. And there was a whole heck of a lot that was accomplished, especially within the black community. Unfortunately, you have a lot of black folks that are still supporting the Democrat party because they feel like the Democrat party is the party that's going to give them something. Uh but on the flip side of that, you'll have these same people talking about entrepreneurship, generational wealth, um you know, stacking up money so that they can pay and take care of themselves and their families. Those are all conservative talking points.

>> So we actually need people, you know, such as yourself, Jeff, and others out here on the platform to explain like, hey, if you really want generational wealth, you do understand that the Democrat party wants to take that from you. Key example, what's going on in New York right now. They want to take people's generational wealth. They don't want you to start a business. That's why the Democrat party is anti small business

>> every in every city that they're running things.

>> Mhm.

>> Small businesses fold

>> because they can't pay the absorbent amount of money that you have to pay in regulations and fees and taxes. So all the things that black people say that they want to do, continuing to support the Democrat party is actually going to stop you from doing those things.

>> So we actually need people to get out there and explain like, "Hey, this isn't it." And and get over all, you know, the racist this that and the third. No, let's just talk about the money.

>> Let's just talk about the money.

>> Yeah. Because it's on both sides.

>> Go ahead, Kesha.

>> Um, so I used to work for the RNC. I ran the Black Voices for Trump office uh in 2020 and I think one thing that I didn't I didn't understand I volunteered for many years you know didn't wasn't looking for anything and just by being around and really loving you know what I was doing that's that's how I grew in the party or whatever and one of the things that I learned is that okay when when you have a campaign you you have you don't have an infinite amount of money. You have a finite amount of money and you have to know how to best use that money. Now, you got to go to your base first, like because those are the people that vote. And no shade, but black people just in general aren't really that involved in politics like that. So, it's there's a couple different pieces when it comes to like how to grow and particularly like with black and you know uh black American involvement. So, first of all, conservatives come from a they they really most conservatives are not coming at it from a oh, there's a black person. It's not they really don't think like that. Like they're not from what I've seen. I don't see them like

>> we got to get the blacks, you know what I mean? They really do really

>> um they really do more so think about it on an issue who aligns with these issues. So I think first

>> their perspective is really not on the race thing.

>> You know, they're not. The other thing is is many of them are older

>> and they have tried to reach out to black communities and have gotten rejected very

>> they've gotten rejected.

>> It's even when you're black

>> harsh harsh rejections

>> harsh.

>> I have gotten like lunged at by a black man

>> because he didn't like what my shirt said. I am a like this is what the like there is something the the the whole black

>> let me ask you a question on that point because while you before you go any further

>> did you respond to that by setting up a program where you went out and you actually did research on the people the people who did that and find out why they did it and then develop ways to counter that because seeing a problem is is great but not developing a solution to the problem is the problem. So what I did was, and this is why we were so successful with the black community in my particular um how I ran my office.

>> I just talked to people in the black community,

>> but ju just I just kept it real with them. Honestly, I just told them the facts. It was one lady, I'll never forget, she was like, "I have never had a Republican I've never met a a black Republican. never had a black Republican knock on my door. So, it's like

>> it's it's almost this concept that black Republicans don't exist and not because like the Republican party is like keeping them back and doing all of this. It's just that

>> we don't really get involved like even when we are a part of the party, we're not involved in our rec.

>> We don't we don't volunteer. We don't give our time. We show up, don't give our money. So, you're not giving the time. You're not giving your money. You, but you want all the, you know, put me on, you know, why I'm not on the stage or why I wasn't okay. I You got your YouTube channel. I feel you. But it's like, you really do have to get involved because there's more to there's more to learn.

>> Yeah. That's why you want to get involved because when it's time for you to step up, what one of the things that I did not know and that uh you know, you you you think things run a certain way, but once you get on the inside, you're like, "Oh, oh, now I understand why." When you're like I was going to say, when you're running a campaign, you only have a certain amount of dollars. They have to make sure to get this candidate over the line. gotta go to the people that are actually going to vote for them.

>> And they should start before the campaign.

>> They should start before the campaign. That is absolutely right.

>> It's still money though. Like it's still because you have to have some people who can work on, you know, voter registrations. You got to have some people that are part of the party and helping to have engagement. It's hard to get black people to do that. Not because they don't value the the um what value the the they don't value the values. They do value the values, but that piece of like putting my face out there. I gotta be I'm going to be the face. I'm going to be the one going in the neighborhood.

>> People when it come I'm with you right here.

>> I hear you.

>> I don't know. That's why you got to get

>> I lost I lost my black card. I lost my black card about 12 14 times in the last 12 months. Oh yeah. And and the reason everybody said it was like I launched my podcast last January

>> and the speed of how it's growing. I'm realizing the gap between where I'm at as a content creator and actual the changes that Brother Wise and you all are making saying in terms of like okay yeah YouTube is cool and all the platform is cool and all but like last week we cleared 50,000 subscribers and I'm like now what do I do with this? And I'm like I realize what Brother Wise is saying is totally accurate. I just need to I was so in the weeds on the liberal side. I'm going to different uh conventions. I was in I was going to uh PSL stuff. I was really really in this stuff. And now on the flip side now switching more leaving more a little independent conservative. I haven't reimmers myself

>> on the other side yet. And I'm like I feel like

You're right. If I do and they see the platform and and it'll start to align where like the opportunities are there, the connections, the networking's there and then I can leverage that to hopefully push things to actually talk to the very community.

Now the difference with me is I was working in the hood. I I I did that for the last seven years. I've worked in prison. I worked in the hoods. I can go to all the black churches. But the thing is like once you strip my black card, okay, I was like congratulations. I was like now thanks. I was like fine. I was like so now I'm in that head space of like all the worst things you could call me. I've been called. All the things you could say you could say but it's like I mean my wife is black, my kids are black. Um my mother-in-law was here yesterday. Like I don't know to the degree I was like I did my honeymoon. It's not real. Like it literally it's not real. So what are you taking from me? Nothing. Exactly.

So at this point it's like I'm at this strange place of like what do brother Wise is saying and all of you are saying is like okay I I agree with Denzel Denzel. I'm like but I'm not going to ignore the issue and act like it's not there. I am going to acknowledge like it is something that needs to be concerted, but like brother Wise said, I can't wait for people who don't see it the same way to go there and start. And Kesha, you're right. When you talk one-on-one to these people, it's totally different than when you're talking to them in massive group settings. It it it's night and day difference when you're just going topic by topic and how they feel. 85% of the community actually agrees with 85% of the black I mean the uh the conservative agenda. They do. Really is. Oh, so yeah. No, you're absolutely right.

Hey, hey, Jeff. I I uh I I I slid my black card across the table long time ago. They can handle hilarious. I I gave it I just slid it right on. Y'all got that. MX MX, if y'all want to send that brother a black car, I will take that black. Brother, where do you go to check to see if you're in good standing? I'm not sure. I was Don't worry about it. I I can't tell you I can't tell you Celeste because I'm completely revoked. I'm like I'm banished. Okay, that I was issued. I want to check on my on my status. Am I in good standing? I don't know.

So, sisterha, um first of everything said was great, man. But I think this sisterha tapped on a very important point and and our brother um uh Jeff also is that and wise um because you said like you got to go to these organizations, you got to sign up, you got to get involved. And this is the whole point is that we recognize problems all the time, but we don't do the efficient work of of solution um developing to alleviate the problem. I mean, you you trust I I know black people. I talk about black people all the time, but I admit all I don't get involved as much as I should. I'm going to do it from now on. So, y'all gonna spank my behind. Y'all spank me good. I'm gonna get out there because I I've I've gone to the Republican um young Republican organ meetings and I've talked to people and they they were inspired by what I said. I mean they were I'm like okay that should have told me something there. Um so but the point is that we we we we see the problem. We have to start developing grassroot relationships with the people in our community. Create these systems these programs to train them about what we have to do and then train them each one teach somebody else. You can develop groups grassroot not don't wait for a campaign to start way before campaign start. You start cultivating your community and teaching them about politics. Teach them about what's going on. Explain to them why the Democrats are not as good as the Republicans are. Explain to them the role of independents. Get them an understanding of and let them know how how important they are as individuals to the whole process. But they can't get that if they don't understand what's going on because remember they're being exposed to a whole lot of crazy stuff. You got a thousand one ideas out there. It's our responsibility to nail to narrow those ideas and those points and help them to understand which ones are the best and why we represent always take money. I don't want to do a lot of people do this stuff for free. A lot of people do this stuff for free once they get an understanding because they are sick of being sitting back and seeing everybody walk and step all over them and their ideas and therefore their convictions about God and stuff are being dogged. They need people like us to get out there and say, "Listen, we got people that can help you get this done. Get together with us. We can work some miracles in our communities." And my daddy would have never done in New York if there were enough black people doing their job. No, you're absolutely right. We need to be the change that we want to see in the world. I think there's so many people out there waiting on someone else to pick up the mantel. No, you pick up the mantel. Thank you. You go join it. You go pay it. Come on.

I want y'all to know that the one thing I will give what Kesha said and and this is the reverse eye because when I worked with the Liberal Party, it's not they don't wait till campaign. They they they're having they're having back to school backpack events. They're having summer camps and they're doing all of that. So, they're educating the kids uh the the community. So, they're showing up. So, when even when they have their podcast and all that stuff, they're actually out at these events when we used to because I used to work with them and I used to put the volunteer program together. We came up with all the cool events and stuff like that. So, we went into the community had these amazing events. We free haircuts. We would have like, you know, skating event. We had all kinds of stuff and people were just like you just see the faces that are there with you and that's why that that's why I can align a lot with what Messi what Mika was saying and what I say is the I said is the community that's why you got you know this and that's why it is important to go and get involved and say you know what this is what the other side is doing we need to implement these things there I I'm not I'm not convinced that these people are so pigheaded that they're not willing to listen to some good advice and how to go and meet and touch more constituents. I mean, we just watched the president go do the most unconventional campaign we've ever seen. So much so that the mainstream media was upset that he was speaking to podcasters and things of that nature. Like, what is he doing talking to these people? Why is he legitimizing these people? Because they're legitimate. Y though, those are people with bigger with like the president, right? Everybody knows Donald Trump whether you like him or not, right? But here's the thing. When you when you are in the community like myself, like I I'm on the the liberal the liberal news station, right? Or I'm on the the the um the local news station. Um I I'm on the radio. I'm here, right? I'm in liberal spaces. Have people in those spaces that can already do exactly what Celeste was just talking about because they do, you know, uh Summer Jam here. I' I've covered Summerjam here in DC I don't know how many times, right? And so again, I'm the only conservative voice, right? So they don't So black and brown people in in liberal spaces don't get to see the other side. It's not a norm. So when you come there, it's like, why why are you here? Do you want my you want my vote? Versus somebody uh like I said, like myself and others who are actually I'm from DC. I grew up in DC my entire life. So you you already know you have that connection versus I'm just gonna send you there. No, you already have the connection with the people whether whether or not they're liberal or conservative. You already have a connection with them. So now you can actually go talk to them. And and also said before I forget, um, one lens to look at this in terms of sorry, what Crystal was saying is the Democrats will get so desperate about adding to their base that they'll open up the borders. They'll change the rules. Oh, they've already done all types of stuff. And I'm like, where's the level of desperation amongst conservatives or amongst the Republican party if you want do you want to be this archaic thing that comes and goes or do you want to expand? are you comfortable with what you got or are you trying to to grow? And I'm like, I'm telling you, if everything Well, I think they're I think they're looking at the I think they're looking at the agenda. And before you go, Kesha, I want to get Dan, you know, in sitting there patiently, quietly. Uh Dan, what are your thoughts? I'll give you the next word.

Well, to go off of what Kesha was saying, um I grew up with a lot of people that said, "I'm not going to vote because my voice my voice's not going to matter." You know, many people are like that. They just grow up thinking that their voice doesn't matter when it actually does. Right? So, one of the best things for the conservative movement right now is people like us that are letting people see that it's okay to have your beliefs and be who you want to be. Right? A lot of black people and a lot of Americans in general have conservative values. So, it's not farfetched for some so many of us to start to catch on to this wave of what's happening. Now, the problem is going to come when Trump is out of here because we know that President Trump has sparked a flame in a lot of Americans, right? So, we already had Charlie Kirk passed. That was a heavy blow. But then out of that, we had thousands of people saying we are Charlie Kirk and then those people need to continue doing what they are doing. But if they don't continue to do that and we let things fizzle out, we get complacent when Trump's term is over, we could have the Democrats right back in power again. If we don't keep pushing to have our beliefs and keep pushing those values more so than just being aligned with the party. We want to push the things that we believe in in this country to stay afloat so the Democrats can't get back in power and sink the ship. If we don't do that, then what what are we even doing any of this for? So that's right. You know, to me, baby. Yeah. And I think the the Conservative Party can be confusing for people right now because there is so much change, you know. Shout out to Nicki Minaj. You know, we have hard hitters like that that are definitely helpful to the movement and it's letting people know that it's okay to have conservative values, believe in what you believe in, don't care about all of the blows that they are going to dish out because at the end of the day, you have to stand for something or you're going to fall for anything. So, I think it is a little bit confusing for somebody new stepping into the the Conservative party, seeing all the different people. You got old people, you got young people, you have all these different races. But I will say it's looking up and up and I think more so now than ever, it's very hopeful and I see a bright future for the conservative movement as long as things keep going the way that they are going. But we have to keep pushing and getting the message out there with more like-minded individuals because more times than not, people have the same mindset. So many people think that they're Democrats when all of their values line with conservatives, but they just vote Democrat because all their family does or they want to look a certain way, but it's okay to, you know, you can act like you're a Democrat with the people you're around, but when you get into that voting booth, just vote vote, you know, conservative. So, you know, no, you're absolutely right. Uh Kesha, we'll get you in here. We'll give you the last word on this. Uh but I want to say this real quick and because the next segment we're going to get into it about what happened um you know, with these uh folks they went over to uh uh Cuba. Liberals haven't changed much. They called the people that are here that are Cubanameans that are here. They call them the bad Cubans and the people who are suffering in Cuba the good ones. Amazing. You get liberals out there that will call people like us, hey, y'all are the bad blacks. Because y'all are no longer, you know, with or on the Democratic plantation. And everybody that is still stuck in the mud with their head in the sand, so forth and so on, still on that. Those are the good blacks. They hadn't changed and we need to get the word out. But, you know, I'm glad, Danel, you were convicted. Somebody asked me, you know, what card did you pick up? I picked up the part the card of Christ, bro. And I said this the other day. You know, it doesn't matter how much or how little melanin you have, you know what I'm saying? I consider you my brother or my sister in Christ, you know, if you are a a follower the way that I am, you know, and when we're looking at these things and the way that we're, you know, the way that I look at life, to be honest with you, I'm not supporting a particular candidate. I'm supporting an agenda. Yeah. Amen. what makes sense for me and my family? What aligns with the direction that I want to see the nation go in? And I don't care, you know, about how much or how little melanin an individual has. I I want to hear what you have to say. What direction are you taking our country or the city, the county, the state that I'm in. That's that's the thing that concerns me the most. Kisha, I'll give you the last word and we'll keep it moving. Amen. You're on mute. Oh, you're muted. You're mute. You're muted.

I got you. Y'all know my testimony. I do I did not come in on this thing on the black thing. I was actually delivered from that. God said your skin color has become an idol in your life. I don't I am not on the you know I I'm not on that like I don't your soul has no color. Okay. And that's what we care about. And but what the last thing um I will say about the previous topic is um the majority of the conservatives, Republicans that are involved in the party, they they're doing these before campaign outreach, but again, when they try to it's it's even hard to get the regular conservatives that do participate in this stuff to, you know, to get people to volunteer, it's hard. And so that in itself is tough. And then because people work like conservatives, our lives are different. You know, a lot some liberals, they're they're not even big on working like that. So they're they got more time. They it's their mindset is totally different. um white conservatives or the majority of con Republicans, they do these before campaign outreaches, but there again there's not a lot of they would totally go to, you know, the cookout, the barbecues, the back. They would totally do it, but they know they don't they can't go with just the white crew, but they don't have enough blacks to particip. You know what I mean? They would totally do it. But we again, we have to be the ones to have the courage to go in there and say, "Yeah, this is what I believe. Who gonna check me?" Because that's my mentality. I mean, because I it's it's not race. It's really not even the party. It is because God told Jesus told us to occupy until he comes. So whatever space that you are occupy, ours obviously has you know it is obviously in politics I'm standing 10 toes down on everything. Not what the Republican party said but what Christ almighty said. You know and that's what I come in. And so I don't I'm not thinking about conservative, Republican. I'm thinking about the truth. What is the truth? And that's, you know, that that's how I approach it. And I just I think if more people approached it from beyond the party because you get in here, these people, everybody ain't what they claim. Everybody, it's just they messed up too. Woke up on that, didn't she? Yes. And so you got to come in with that light of Christ and do what he has called you to do. And so you know you will reach who he has, you know, set out for you to reach. Sometimes they not they might not be black. That's right. What about that? What if you what if that's not even what God has called you, you know, in the space to do? Maybe you maybe that's not your lane. That's all right. You know what I mean? That's exactly that's just because, you know, I might not be the person that could reach, you know, the I didn't grow, you know, I might not have what you need, you know what I mean? My life background might not be, you know, the what you need to draw. So, I would say forget the race stuff. There is a higher calling. There's a higher principle that we can appeal to that is going to give you the courage that you need to do what you need to what needs to be done in the moment. And we need to do this now because those those implant those those those those elections are coming up and the the statistics are that there's always a flip um from the opposite of the person person in president. We can stop that that tradition by there's work to be done. There is work to be done. Hey Jeff, I know you got to get ready to roll out of here man. We appreciate you pulling up, man. Again, condolences to you and your family, man. I know you got business to handle, uh, but we definitely appreciate you pulling up today, man. Any last words for us?

Yeah, I I really really enjoy both topics and especially this conversation because it definitely motivates me. And now, you know, with everybody talking, I'm like, well, I'm not doing enough. And I'm like, it's time for me to to to jump into it and say it's it's not just about complaining about Democrats and what they're not doing. It's about, well, what are the alternatives and am I helping support that? So, for me, it's um it's definitely definitely gives me a lot of energy and I'm like, I'm gonna I'm gonna hit the ground running and run some things by Brother Wise and everybody else who I've been, you know, learning from. And um don't be surprised. I might come back with a suit on. You never know. Hey, you got my brother. I love it, man. Well, we appreciate you, bro. Take care, man. All right. Bye.

Let me read a couple super chats and we'll keep it moving. Uh shout out to Eric with the $2 super chat says, "Wise, your mail enhancement ads are killing me." Oh man. Hey, I don't have any control over the ads that that you know Google puts out here, man. I don't have any control over that, man. No, you don't. Um I'm not really sure what that says, but uh $2 super chat says, "News scare people into a state of constant stress." Thank you. I think that's uh somebody from out of Australia as well. Shout out to you. Uh shout out to uh Kiara Kira, sorry about that. $20 super chat says uh first time joining live. Genuine question. um not a liberal at all. But how can we ignore this economy and political climate? Republicans, do you truly believe uh Trump is delivering on his promises? He's the face of the party.

Um I I will say this, yes, I I do believe that he is delivering. Uh I think and I I said this, man, two years ago that if people thought that the country was going to turn around at a snap of a finger, I mean, you're sadly mistaken. Um the country is a ship, a huge ship. And if you've ever been on one, it takes a while to turn one around. Uh and we're in that direction. Um a lot of damage has been done. Yeah. A lot of damage has been done. And people don't know this or maybe don't want to discuss it, but we've probably been in a recession realistically since about 2021. Uh they actually renamed and redefined what the term what a recession is. Make them look good. So to make the Democrats look good. Not to mention, Celeste, you talked about this last week when you talk about the amount of jobs that were basically, let's just call them what they were, welfare jobs. You know, government, all these little government jobs. You had all these these redundant positions that were not needed. People going, you know, pulling up, going to work, not actually doing any work. And the reason why we know they wasn't doing any work because these fools were posting about it on TikTok, letting us know they were not doing any work, bragging about the fact that they make 60, 70, 80 grand a year, but they spend majority of their day at home working in their gardens. Come on. They did they did tell us this. Yes. You know, so am I appreciative of the direction of the nation? Absolutely. A lot of the things that he said would be would would be done has happened already. The border is closed. Uh he did say that I'm going to implement the largest deportation act that we've ever seen in this country. That is happening even though liberals are fighting tooth and nail to make it keep it from happening. And when you look at the jobs growth, granted of fact, yes, we lost growth from a federal perspective of jobs, but we don't want the government employing people anyway. We want private sector employing people. That's the problem with our state here in Maryland. And Ma can attest to this because our government is so dagone crazy and we've been so dependent upon the government that we've ran out a lot of the businesses, the private sector businesses that did employ people. Yep. And they're and they're continuing to run them off. Troll Price has already said that they're moving. McCormack said that they were moving. We had Pandora here. I could keep going. The list goes on and on. Wells Fargo said that they're they're moving out people. You can't be in a situation where the government is the number one employer. That is socialism. It doesn't matter. How do you pay them? You got to pay them in taxes. You got to pay them in tax. And now you increase the taxes, which they have done in this state. So things got to change. And when you look at it, the jobs number, there was actually a net positive growth from the private sector. Although it looked like we lost a lot of jobs because they cut a lot of those redundant government welfare positions. They weren't they were not real jobs. So do I'm not saying that we are perfect. I'm not saying that we are 100% where you know we will be but we are definitely going in the right direction in comparison to where we were. Amen. Does anybody want to add to that?

Yeah, it's like what you said wise. Um but it was it's like what we were talking about the other week when I was on I I said the country the people it's the people the people are not willing to take a hit shortterm for long-term gain. They're not willing to do that. And that's why we're in the position that we're in. And most of it is just us not paying attention to what the Constitution says. I voted for Donald Trump because the the direction that he's trying to move in is is the constitutional way versus what we've been doing with the central banking system and putting us in debt. If more people had more money in their pocket, I guarantee you they would sp they would spend more, but they would also have time for other things that benefit our country. Can I just add Go ahead. So, I'm be real quick. Um, and Ma, I agree 100% with you. And I don't think it's also just that people are not doing it. I think that they have had almost a hundred years of a dumbing down process. It's not that they won't take the hit, it's that they don't understand how and why the hit will benefit them. And this is what I feel like we can do. This is a min. At least for me, I feel like that's a ministry that I'm called to do, which is to say, "Hey, this is exactly how you got here. This is the history behind how you got here because this is all information that has been stripped away from you on purpose. You make bad decisions on purpose. You've been put in a position to not be able to take a hit so that you would never benefit yourself." that you didn't do that on your own valition. You had a a a situation made for you to do that. And if we can tell people how it is and why why you're in the situation you're in because they have a a mandami and all these people, they have an explanation and their explanation is in the middle. If you notice it never is the history in terms of the origin and it never has a sufficient outcome. They only speak to today never to the past and not to the future. All their conversation is what we can do today. They do not create that arc so that people can can actually act on their own behalf. Can I just say real quick just I'm just going to give two quick analogies for that person. It's like it a a child that takes all their stuff and stick it under the bed. They keep sticking it under the bed, sticking it under the bed because this is how they clean their room. And then when the mom finally pulls all the stuff, it's going to be chaotic. There's going to be stuff everywhere. It's a mess. And this is how it has to get cleaned up. So when you ask if if Trump is doing what he said, do we looking at the political clim climate, looking at the economic climate? Yes. because Trump has to undo all of the mess. The other analogy is when you have a child who has been who had no daddy in the house the entire time. They've been running rampant. They did whatever they want to do and then a man comes in and marries that mama and he brings structure and discipline and order. That kid is going to go through it. It's going to be a very rocky path for a little bit. And once that child gets in order, oh my goodness, it'll be beautiful. But you have to go through the rough to get to the good. It's not just going to or you're not going to open your eyes and everything's going to be brilliant. And I think that's what people have to realize when they decided when we voted for Trump, we already knew all of this was going to happen because of all the mess that happened prior that had to be cleaned up. So, we commend him on the work that he's doing. Yes, there are things that we may not like here and there, but other than that, he is keeping his promises. That's right. Absolutely.

All righty. Uh shout out to uh Lynn with the $10 super chat says uh trying to acquies to uh uh acquious the left is a branding nightmare. Uh the voters will go to the party that is more certain of themselves. The GOP must get back to basics. God and constitution. A link absolutely agree with that. Shout out to Eric with the $2 super chat says off to work still streaming. Shout out to you. Uh shout out to my brother Jeff over at it's not your fault now recovery channel. $11 super chat says, "Uh, but isn't that the goal? Uh, a uneducated and ignorant voter base is easier manipulated and let's face it, fooled. The teachers union and the NEA are driven to make our country stupid." Nail on head. Yes. Shout out to Pup Groomer coming through gifting 10 ARP family memberships. If you receive one of those, please make sure you show some love to the pup groomer 20. Shout out to you. Appreciate you supporting the channel. Shout out to uh Voice of Reason with the $10 super chat says uh when the Apostle Paul started his work. Uh he went to a lot of pagan hotspots, Ephesus to further the kingdom, the right has to approach the left similarly um with the truth so truth seekers can find it. Yeah. Amen. Get a lesson on the view. Shout out to Jeff once again. Uh it's not your fault. Alan Recovery channel $11 super chat says I have eaten out with wise many times. He carries a bottle of Old Bay everywhere. Some Lowry too. You got some Lowry seasoning in there too. What? You be breaking out the O. I am a O fan. You know I am a O. We got a couple of We got a couple of them in the house. You know I'm a O fan for sure. But I ain't walk around. I don't even carry anything to walk around. Come on now. Come on now. Shout out to Deb with the $10 super chat says uh my dream cancel political parties uh so there is no more dim or Republican or lobbyists. Instead think for ourselves vote not for party but let a man or a woman stand on what they represent on their own agenda. Actually like that. I like that a lot. You know, I think you she that was a question and I it just slight push back that sounds good, but when you think about it, we have a republic. Okay, so basically because that sounds like a de she Okay, we're going to get rid of Democrat, we're going to get a get rid of Republicans. It's every it's like one vote, one, you know, every it's it's pure democracy. And to me, that's more of like mob rule when you think about it. We want republic. Yes. We want that constitutional republic. We want the representative republic. We want the electoral college. And believe it or not, we do want maybe the Republican maybe that's not the the best system, but I don't think getting rid of it or you know, is is a viable system too because the alternative to getting rid of it is more just straight democracy and I don't think any of us want to live in that. actually work out that well. I think she was talking from a a biblical standpoint. That's why she said it like that because she's usually in my Bible studies. So, she's trying to say get rid of that and just stand under the basically stand under the word of God. Let let him lead us. I think that's what she's trying to go with. Yeah. And that's good. But and that will lead us to submitting to our constitution because our constitution was biblical developed on biblical principles and it was to make sure that we understood like the Bible has rules and regulations that we have to follow and God don't want us stepping out of our rules to set up our own system. He wants us to follow his word. And that's why our founders gave us the constitution that was based on biblical principle because they knew that they could not legislate morality. But they can give us a constitution that required us to follow certain regulations and rules that kept us within that frame. And that's why the founders said that um our constitution was not made for unrighteous people because people had to want to have a love of God and a desire to do what was right. We got a whole lot of people that don't love God and don't want to do what's right that we have to contend with. That's where the problems at. We got to teach and we and we have to be very careful about understanding that the government is to uh is to provide guidance for our behavior in public. It is not to rule your private life. Your religion, your belief is your private life. It is not necessarily a public activity. And so there has to be some differentiation between the behavior in public because that includes more than you. You are affects everybody. That's right. In your public in your private life, but in your public life, we have to morally coexist with each other, but we do not have to religiously coexist with each other. Right. Amen. Well, the other thing too is I don't know if you guys agree, but if we were to get rid of the Democrat, Republican, there would just be new parties that would be created because we are naturally people that like to be in packs. That's just kind of who we are. Uh naturally, we're just built like that. We'll find a way to get together in some kind of way based off of like minds and agendas. You know what I'm saying? We'll figure it out. People say we'll get rid of these, but it will happen. I mean, we see it with the kids. They, you know, I mean, you see it with the gangs. They they gang banging streets and blacks. They'll find a way to get together based off of something. That's right. You know, we see it in other countries, you know, with the tribes and things of that nature. Even I mean, you look in, you know, countries, you know, over in uh, you know, over on the continent of Africa, you know, and this is majority all black folks in these places, but then they found ways to to segregate and separate from each other. You know what I'm saying? Based off of one thing or another. So, um, you know, we'll we'll figure a way to, you know, split it back up into some type of party or something. We'll figure a way to do that. That's right. Shout out to Steve. $5 super chat says, "Uh, there are politics and emotions and then there's facts and the truth." Thank you, Steve. Amen.

All right, let me play this clip for you guys. I got a message to all you uh cold pink liberals, you lefties in Cuma thinking y'all doing something, okay? This is not your fight. Stand the vow cuz this is happening. This is happening. All right, you people are a bunch of hypocrites. Okay, it's embarrassing. All right, this is coming from a Cuban American. Okay, this is not your fight for you to go over there on a humanitarian aid mission. Okay. All right. There are 11 million people on that island. You didn't bring enough supplies or essentials for 11 million people and the items that you did bought bring to that island were already confiscated. That would never see the light of day. Okay? But yet you can sit up in that building, you know, the Congress building or whatever in Cuban, that air conditioned building and applaud and stand up and give this man a standing ovation. Diaz Canal. All right. give him a a standing ovation, which is ridiculous. All right. And then, you know, the thing with Cuba is for you to go on that freedom flight or whatever it is, that mission that you're on, all that was pre-approved. The Cuban government decides what the [ __ ] you film, where you film it at, and what is to be shown to you. Okay? I've watched videos of you people in your air conditioned hotel, the only one with lights on, matter of fact, while the rest of the block is dark, while y'all have a hot shower and all that. None of you have went out in the real communities, right, and intermingled with the dissident of Cuba, okay? You're a bunch of hypocrites and it's always a white liberal woman at the forefront of all the This is why the civil rights movement that worked out because the liberal women attach themselves to that movement also, if you know your history. Hey, it's always some woman who looks like she has had a man in 25 years that wants to be the savior of all everybody's problems. All right. For you to come over there and talk about the Cuban government, how our country is ran by a dictator while you're talking to a dictator, a one party system, a one party regime, okay? It's it's it's deplorable. You're embarrassment. What the United Embassy should do right now, United States embassy should do is revoke your passports, let you suffer on the island for about 6 months, no American dollars, no nothing. because you take that for granted. That same freedom of speech that you have to go over there, the Cuban people do not have. That same building that you were in yesterday, all right, looking talking to the the Cuban dictator, Cuban people cannot step into that building. They can't voice their opinions just like you can. Okay. But you claim you're helping. You're helping do what? This has been 67 years in the making. This is happening. Wow. You're talking about a a blockade, an embargo. This has been going on since Kennedy, since the Bay of Pigs. This is how long this has been going on. And Cuba was backed by the Soviet Union. This is how long that's been going on. A lot of you not even that old. But to sit there and talk about how how our president is so bad, how he's got everyone over here oppressed. No. No. This is happening. This needs to happen. and your little flotilla or whatever it is, it's not going to stop anything. Mind your businesses. Okay. All right. Ask any Cuban have they ever seen of McDonald's or Wendy's or Burger King or Arby's, the little stuff that we take for granted here every day on a daily basis. All right. How many of them can jump in their car and go to any major supermarket and buy whatever they want because there's an abundance on the shelves? Go out there with the real people. Listen to their voices. Listen to their stories. and then see if you have a change of heart. You don't like the message. It's not the message. You hate the messenger, right? It's the man who's fixing the problem that bothers you. You rather see You rather see people keep suffering because why? So Donald Trump doesn't get the credit. This is not about Donald Trump. It's about somebody standing up finally and standing up to a communist regime. Wow. A dictatorship that freeing making a making a making the world free. that you don't want to see that because it's who's doing it. You liberals need to stand down. Get the f out of Cuba, man. I mean, I don't wish bad and nothing. I really hope you turn you you guys turn down the wrong neighborhood in Cuba, right? And get stripped of all your worldly positions and possessions cuz you know, you take all this for granted. Your little freedom of speech for you to go to another country and talk about America is crazy. It's embarrassing. You guys should stay right where you're at and hang out with the people for about 6 months, you'll be begging to come back. You'll be begging to come back. Then you'll come back and kiss the same soil that you t that you trashed. Okay? Despite who's in the office right now, okay? You're the same party. You can't just find a woman. You can't tell what a real woman is, but you want to go over there and tell the Cuban people, don't worry about it. You can hang on a little longer. Okay? Socialism is good. Communism is good. Okay? You don't need free elections. Let them keep running it. Let the narco terrorist traffickants keep running this country. It's okay for you cuz you want to be the saviors. You want to act like y'all did something. You did nothing. This is happening. Okay. That little flight of what what how many people were on that plane. You can't silence the voices of 11 million people. Excellent. Excellent. Wow. Wow. He was cooking, man. I I I was trying to find a good place to cut it. I couldn't. So, I just like, yo, I just got to let this man just could get it all off his chest, man. He's absolutely right. And to be honest with you, just like, you know, the way we started the show, I I would say, "Hey, let's put together a GoFundMe. All the liberals, you want to move to some socialist nation, by all means, we will fund you. The only ask is you leave your passport here and hey give up your citizenship and go live in these nations if you think it's so great. Go do it. He's absolutely right man. If they could they wouldn't he said six months they wouldn't last a week or two over there under those conditions. Are you kidding me? Absolutely not. Hey that one caveat I would request I would require that I'll be there at the at the at the port to make sure they get on the the boat and I will pay for the ticket. I ain't giving them nothing because they so used to taking money. They probably take that money and go someplace and spend it. No, I want to make I want to be involved with every process to make sure you get your butt out of here. Okay. Absolutely. Absolutely. Ma, what are your thoughts?

My my thoughts are I I love what he said. Um, a lot of people don't don't know. Some people do, the ones that follow me. My father is Cuban. Okay. And I'm telling you right now, absolutely not. You do not want to be those liberals. They came there with, you know, I with the Gucci boots on. They're on the, you know, the the private jets and all of this stuff. But most people don't know it is a luxury to have air conditioning Cuba. Okay. Espe especially in populated area like uh um Havana. They

couldn't last an hour there. They like to be on TikTok. Well, guess what? You got to go sit in a town square just to get Wi-Fi for a couple of hours. Okay? And then when Americans come, they have some Airbnbs, you know, that have a little bit of Wi-Fi, maybe a um I I forget a fire stick, you know, that that gives you a little bit of home, but it's absolutely not the same thing. You can't have all the amenities, these TVs and all of that.

There are Cuba people that go and work in uh Miami, right? They go work in Miami, they bring their stuff back. I'm telling you, the at the Cuban airport, they open everything. I mean, electronics doesn't matter. They open everything to see what you're bringing in, what you know, how much it cost. If they want to confiscate it, they can. Like, it's absolutely insane. Just a restaurant, it takes over an hour just to eat because it's not it's there's no McDonald's and all of this stuff. It's not pre-made. They No, the chicken is outside and I just chopped it off and now I'm going to cook it. You it'll be ready in an hour and a half.

But I'm just telling people that if you've never been to Cuba, if you don't know anybody that's Cuban, if you don't have any Cuban friends down in Miami or Orlando or something like that, then I don't understand what you're talking about. Especially these liberals, they use everything Donald Trump this, Donald Trump that. sad.

It's absolutely insane because it never involves the actual people. It's all about politics. It's not about the people. And the people in Cuba, when I tell you they are ecstatic, they are ecstatic because they've been living under, if you want to call something a regime, they've been living under that since before I was born, my mother was born, all of this stuff. And you want to keep it that way for what? For the fear that Donald Trump may actually do something good for somebody since he doesn't do anything good for Americans. You know, something good. And it's always a political thing. Liberals, especially white liberals, never go down there or go anywhere for the actual people. It's always political. And I'm just at the point where I'm just tired of seeing uh white liberals, especially white liberal women, down anywhere because it's it's nothing good ever coming from it ever.

You're absolutely right. Uh one of the dudes that was that was leading that thing, uh Hassan [ __ ] he had on like a $1,300 pair of glasses and I'm like, do you understand that $1,300 would feed a family for a year in Cuba?

That the little bike >> with what he had on his face. Yes. What he had on his face, it is outrageous. He had to go with security, too. You know, the people that that hate security and ice, but because them 1300 glass $1,300 glasses would have been gone, guaranteed.

Yeah, it's ridiculous, man. Oh, they're not they're they're probably going to stay by the uh what's it's on a place called the Malikon. They're probably going to stay by the American embassy.

Okay. That's how you know that these people are not really they don't really understand what real oppression looks like. They don't understand what real poverty is. Like we have a calculation and we're like, well, you are such and such below the poverty line. Okay, you're poor. You if you're really poor, ain't nobody got to tell you that you're poor. Okay, it is it is very evident from everything around you. You poor is when you don't have food in your refrigerator. Poor is when you don't have a thousand dollar cell phone in your back pocket. Poor is when you can't afford wifi. Okay? Poor is when you know you got holes in your floor, you know, and and it's a halfway built house. Okay? Like these people don't really understand what poverty really is. Go to India, go to Cuba, you'll see real poverty.

Americans, you know, it it it's so it's kind of disgusting. It really just pisses me off quite frankly when you have all of these people up here. Oh, I'm so oppressed. Oh, I can't do this. I can't do that. And God has literally placed you in the land of milk and honey and you're looking around and you don't see it. How you're just ungrateful.

Wow. You're ungrateful. You have no business >> talking about you trying to protect the people by keeping a dictator over them. you slow down dirty dog like you you HAVE NO BUSINESS WORRYING about what is going on over here when you cannot properly ascertain your own privilege and I don't mean I'm not talking about privilege in skin color I'm talking about privilege in being in a land like America born here you can't even understand that that is the the blessing that comes with that miss me I don't want to hear it, please. Like, it's it is it is disrespectful. And you're going to go there with $1,300 glasses on. There's There are neighborhoods in America that I wish you would go and walk around with your who got Look, they do There are neighborhoods in America that would snatch them glasses that do better than the Cubans.

Yeah. Absolutely. No, you're absolutely right. Christian. Well, but you also have people we I'm sorry, Crystal says it all the time. You know, unfortunately, we have a lot of folks here in our country with this coveted covetousness mindset, you know, and we're too busy >> too busy concerned with what everybody else has instead of focusing on how blessed we actually are.

And the reality of it is this, Kesha, you hit the nail on the head. Uh we have American privilege. You know, I know you get these, you know, liberals out there and you get these folks out here talking about black or white privilege and this that and the other. If you were born in this country, oh my goodness, you have American privilege. The skies are the limits for what you can accomplish and what you can do in this nation. This is one of the few places actually, this is the only place in the world that you could legitimately start off at the bottom 10%.

That's right. And if you're willing to put the work in, you can at least work your work your way to the top 50%. And if you're really good, you can work your way into the top 10%. Most people do.

Absolutely. Well, first of all, I want to um uh just uh just applaud Kisha with that low down dirty dog. That that was that was as good as I've heard it in a minute. Um and I want to say that you're absolutely right about this American privilege. And what makes me sad and as I sort of said in the previous conversation is how deceived Americans are about America. And um that deception is what is creating all of the angst and the tension um between the divided Americans because you've got Americans saying, "Wait a second. Go look over there and look how much better you have it." And then you have these people saying, "Well, you know, this isn't good enough. This just isn't isn't good enough." And I've said on the channel before, America only fails when you uh compare it to perfection. If you look at the history of any government ever formed, not recently, not ever formed by man. And that's all we have. All we have is men who have who came together and said we're going to have to find a way to live together in public. So what is the best way to do it? And our founders looked through the history of the ages and saw all the faults of all of the other government or other >> way people organize themselves to behave in public to regulate public behavior and came up with a system that is far superior to anything ever created. And the reason is because it's the first time in the history of human beings, I'm talking about since people were able to be upright. The first time since Crow Magnum Man that people themselves were ruling themselves. That is the promise of America was that the people could rule themselves. All through history until the United States, people were ruled by potentates or kings or priests or somebody other than themselves. This is the first time in history that people said, "No, we're not lowly because we have a God and that God has empowered us to rule ourselves." So yes, this is the greatest thing that has ever been created and it is extremely sad when do you see Americans who do not understand their superior position in the world. Cuba is a is a Marxist wet dream. If you go to all of these other places in in the world, if you want to know communism really looks like, you can break it down very simply in the poorest neighborhoods in the United uh states where there is nothing but food stamps and government subsidy. If you go into the grocery store in that neighborhood, on average you have 26 different brands of bread. That means 26 different companies produce bread. And they don't produce one type. They produce white, they produce sweet, they produce seeded, they produce sprouted, they produce So you have 26 different brands producing several types of bread. That is what capitalism looks like. Go to India, go to Cuba, go to these other places, go to the grocery store and there are >> bread >> types of if there is bread, there are two types of bread. There is no choice because there not 26 different factories and companies and people producing something trying to compete for your dollar because there's no dollar there to compete for.

Excellent. So, if you want this is the this is the play. The play like I said in the beginning the play is not to raise the standard of the Cuban people to live like Americans and have 26 uh brands of bread. No, the wet dream is to lower the standard of Americans so that we only have two.

Amen. Find another country that has Find another country that has had one constitution that lasts for 250 years. There isn't one. Find another country. There isn't one. Not one. Not one. Dan, get in there. What are your thoughts, bro?

Well, it is absolutely a shame to see so many people be anti-American. See people like Hassan [ __ ] that go to these places that simply don't make any sense at all. The only thing I could think of is that these people have to be getting paid by someone. It's so illogical to go against America and make it seem like we are such a terrible place while yet wreaking all of the benefits. It just doesn't make any sense to me. It is highly frustrating. You have people that grow up in suburban neighborhoods and houses that are 56 thousand square feet that grow up and say that they're oppressed and that they hate America. These are the people that fall for people like him, not realizing you have that you're in the top 1%, the top 0.1% of people in the world living in the land of opportunity.

How could you ever be anti-American? And you have to think that there is somebody behind the scenes that is paying these people to push this agenda. It has to be a crazy amount because they have to be they're ruining any sort of opportunities that they may have in the future with any America branding. To go against your own country >> is insane. And how could you be against the president liberating Cuba? The liberals were against the president liberating Venezuela. They're against the president liberating Iran. The people of Iran, the people of Venezuela were happy, but liberals will go out and protest in the streets, not making any sense at all, making it seem like what President Trump did was bad. So, look, it doesn't make sense except for that these people are getting paid. It's hard to even believe that even the protesters would sit down and think, "I'm going to go protest that millions of people have been liberated because I don't like it." No, that doesn't make any sense. Somebody is in these people's pockets >> in my opinion.

No, you're absolutely right. What's happening around the world and Minister Dans, we'll get you in this. It's really a byproduct of focusing on our national security. The situation that went down in Venezuela, it really wasn't about the Venezuelan people being liberated. It was about not allowing uh China and Iran and other nations to have a foothold in the Western Hemisphere. That's what this was. That's what this is about. Cuba is in the situation that they were in because they decided that they were going to get in bed with Venezuela, which directly affects our national security. I got to keep telling people, man, freedom is not free.

Come on. And it cost. It costs for us to live the way that we live and to do the things that we do in our nation. Somebody's got to be willing to pay the price. Somebody's got to be willing to step up and do the things that may be somewhat uncomfortable for some folks out there.

Amen. Simple as that. Excellent. There are plenty of people out there serving right now on ships scattered all around the world to maintain our way of living. And in some cases, it could mean it could cost you your life in service of our nation. But I don't know about you guys, man, but I appreciate the fact that I was able to get up and flick a switch and turn these lights on this morning.

Come on, brother. You know, go get a hot cup of coffee this morning. I appreciate it. You know, I I I don't take it for granted either. I understand I understand what it takes to maintain our nation. That's why even the lady that started when we started the show talking about some we spend the 10% that we spend on national security is too much. Are you crazy? Are you crazy? We spend 50 60% of our money taking care of lazy people like you who don't actually appreciate the nation. The fact that we spend 10% to maintain our safety is is too much. Are you out of your mind? The madness. The mad. It's a mad house. A mad house.

She's not a parent because you could you imagine like, "Oh, I there's a limit on how much I would spend to protect my children." Like, could you imagine saying something like that? Like that's basically what you're saying. That's basically what she's saying. Exactly. Exactly. Please, Minister D. What are your thoughts? I I appreciate you making that point that what our president is doing is trying to protect our nation and only people who hate America don't appreciate that it wasn't just to free them. That was a part of the deal. That's that was a fringe benefit. But but the major cause is that he was trying to protect us. These these nations are a threat to our security and they're trying to do things to de to to cause our demise. and he's the the the first president in a long time that has been doing things specifically to strengthen America against their their their opposers and their enemies. And I I don't think the media wants them to know that. The left definitely doesn't want them to know that. And I think that we have to start shaming these liberals who make these dumb statements trying to defend um them their their their mad ideas against the right things that are being done for these other countries and for our our nation. We have to step to them and shame them. I mean force them to explain their stupidity and let them know that we're not going to take this sitting down. And again, I'm I'm I'm I'm looking for the day when someone will call out these media on these people and especially in our media and start challenging them to public dialogues. You know that I mean it would be nice. You know, we we trying to get Celeste on the view right now. Let's I'm if they got an office out here in New York, I'm gonna go over there. I'm gonna start doing a little I'm gonna do myself a little rally. Y'all may have to pray for me. I'm gonna say, "Listen, we we we want to see Celeste on your show. When have you heard Amen. I know you will. When have you seen our leaders step to these people and do have a public a public news conference and say listen we are tired of so and so saying this and so and so saying that we want to challenge you to a public discussion because you won't let us come on your program so let's come we won't have a public discussion that kind of embarrassment will set the record straight on a lot of this mess.

No you're absolutely right. The other thing too is that mainstream media so disingenuous. They won't actually tell the people that over four years um when the border was open, they also let people that would like to do us harm into our nation. There there's have been people that have been caught that were on the terrorist watch list and there are people that they know >> creep through. Let and they're in here. The word is is that there could be upwards of 10,000 terrorist cells in our nation.

That's right. So, a lot of what ICE is doing right now, yeah, it is about, you know, getting some of these bad actors out, but a lot of it is uncovering these sales. Amen. Amen. But if we actually had a media that was actually meant to inform the people, they would tell folks that, but unfortunately, we don't have that. They are the ones that are bought and paid for. You want to know who are one of the main people that traffic in foreign uh, you know, talking points and agendas? the American media and it's unfortunately it's not all the left. It's some people you know even a few months ago like there was there were stories that were coming out where some people on the right were like in like uh collaborating with Russia. I mean >> you got to be very discerning. It is like the the the media has so much power because you know and the Bible says you know >> less we be ignorant of Satan's devices. That's right. And a lot of times people think you know when you think devices you don't realize that that means thoughts schemes plans agendas not a tangible device. is words that go out across the airways to thoughts into your mind that do not agree with the word of God, which is truth. And when the thoughts go, y'all, I talk about this a lot on my on my channel, but when the thoughts go out, they take root in your soul if you believe them. That's why God Jesus is always telling us, what are you thinking about and what are you believing? Because words are seeds >> and we we're like we're we're like soil and uh when they get planted because you believe it, you will start to act on it. That's why God says you will know them by their fruit. Well, what does the media what's the fruit of the med most media? Lies. Lies. Lies. Okay. So, I know this is of the devil. Don't eat at that table. Let me just make it plain. Don't eat at the table. Don't consume media >> that from people who are lying to you because that is from the devil. He's the father of lies of lies. That's right. Come on. Stop eating there. You will get free. There's freedom.

Absolutely. Crystal, we'll give you the last word on this. So, we're gonna get up out of here. We're at 12 o'clock. Um, so Code Pink started in 2002. It is a woman led grassroots organization found in 2002 um to oppose US wars and militarism, advocating allegedly for peace, social justice, and the redirection of tax dollars into community programs. I want you to understand that is just basically um jargon for Jezebel spirits, okay? Because those are straight Jezebels that are leading that entire organization. And so they they did what they normally do. Them and their Jezebel spirit went down to Cuba to liberalsplain. You know how they say blackplaining, white. No, they went to liberals >> to the um the Cubans that listen, y'all are the good ones. The ones over there in America are the bad ones. And whenever someone stops and says to me that they don't, you know that um the the liberals are standing up for God. I'm just going to remind y'all, Code Pink went down there to tell the people who are oppressed >> that they are the ones that are in the right. And the Lord says in Isaiah 10:1 and2, "What sorrow awaits the unjust judges and those who issue unfair laws. They deprive the poor of justice and deny the rights of the needy among my people. They pray on widows and take advantage of orphans." So when you look at them going down there and supporting everything that God is against, I don't want anyone ever to come in my comments and again and tell me how Democrats, liberals are Christlike while us standing up for what we standing up for is against God. Because then that right there tells me that you don't know your word. And this is why you don't know because you have not read. My people perish for lack of knowledge. And there's too many of y'all that are running around here with a lack of knowledge. You see in Proverbs 17:15, when you sit down and support people like that, it says, "Aquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent both are detestable to the Lord." So right now, when you support these people who go down and do these things, you are actually supporting those who are holding these people under the fist, under the thumb. They can't even get freedom. These people are crying out for freedom. And you support people who would rather keep them oppressed. Listen, I I'm not They have the freedom to do what they want to do. But remember, you will have to stand before God in judgment day and explain to them why you chose to support the people who want to keep his people oppressed. You're going to have to explain those things. And I want y'all to know I celebrate Code Pink going down there and do that. You want to know why Code Pink did, you know, the DSA? Because the DSA was down there. Ilhan Omar's daughter was down there. All of them that's down there. I support them going down there. You know why? because the Iranian-Americans are done with them. The Nigerian-Americans are done with them, the Venezuelan Americans are done with them, and now the CubanAmericans are done with them. So, I expect midterms to look very differently.

No more do I expect any of y'all to go and support the same people who wanted to keep you oppressed. I hope all of you have locked that in your brain. And just one more thing before I land this play plane. When people say that um white liberal women aren't um racist, I want y'all to explain that to me because when this white these white liberal women who know nothing about what these people are going through are going to go down and explain to them that how they're living is how they're supposed to live. That right there is racism to the highest level. You've never been through what I've been through. You don't know what I'm going through. You don't know how I have to beg for a meal. You don't know how it is to You sat in your five-star hotel, drank as much as you wanted, ate three times a day, got your shower, got your air conditioned, right outside was dark, but you didn't go out there. You stayed within your five-star hotel with your entitlement and your privilege, and you want to tell me about me. No, no, no, no. That right there is true racism. When you can go to someone else and tell them about their experience, that's a problem. That is racism. And you know what? Let's just be honest. They're doing the history of their party, which is true and utter racism. When y'all want to understand what racism is, that is racism.

God bless you. You're absolutely right. We're gonna read some super chats here. We're gonna get up out of here. Crystal, you're absolutely right. When people show you who they are, believe them.

And uh shout out to Steve Buffalo in the building. $5 super chat says, "Our freedom has cost millions of gallons of blood." Uh like we have said, freedom isn't free. Absolutely. I mean, when you think about >> you think about the uh the fight for independence, how many people lost their lives? Uh you think about, you know, the Civil War, how many people lost their lives. Um freedom isn't free, man. There's a cost. There's a cost to it, man. That's right. What's unfortunate is that a lot of people don't understand that. Uh, and some of it has to do with the fact that, man, those of us that's our age, uh, you know, Minister Danzel excluded cuz he's a little more seasoned than most of us here on a panel. Uh, we know nothing but a good life in America. That's right. That's right. You know, most of us, we didn't experience the Jim Crow. We didn't experience We didn't experience any of that. We've lived a great life, a great existence in this country. That includes me. I I'm going after Jim Crow. So that includes you. So you know I mean we've experienced we've experienced something really good in this country >> and you know even when people talk about the economy we are going through a new industrial revolution >> um very similar to what happened towards the end of end of the 90s going into the 2000s when the internet really kicked off and people were saying oh man this internet man it's going to take jobs >> and it did but it also it also created new jobs. It created new businesses. That's right. You know, we're able to do what we're doing right now because of the internet. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, I know people say, "Oh, AI is going to take jobs." Yes, it is. It is going to take jobs. We're in a new industrial revolution. It's going to take jobs. But no one's talking about the new jobs that are going to be created or that are being created or the need. That's right. The demand of some of these positions because now you got all these data centers, they got to stay cool. The demand for electricians, the demand for HVAC techs is through the roof right now. Yes, it is. Go get skilled on the the skill sets that are in demand today. Thank you. That will never go out of demand, too. Because there are some I'm sorry, AI is never going to be able to fix your plumbing. It's just not, you know, But but it will actually help the plumbers become more efficient. Exactly. But you got to have the hard But you got to have the hard hands-on skills to Exactly. Because AI, what if AI tells you something crazy? You be like, you you know, you're dependent on AI >> and they do sometimes, >> but but it also is going to open up some opportunities for businesses. I was watching something yesterday and they were talking about these glasses that have come out for car technicians that they can put these glasses on. They can do a diagnostic on your car and the glasses are while you're going through and looking at it can tell you and diagnose what's going on with your vehicle >> and then it can say, "Okay, you need these parts." It can already go in and start ordering parts from you. I mean, it is crazy what this thing can do. But also AI also AI is at its infancy because it's learning. So every time you're on chat GPT, >> every time you talking to Siri or whoever else you got, cuz there's tons of them. Siri getting smarter. Every Yeah. Every time you do that, it's learning and it learns 100,000 times faster than the average human. So it's going to keep getting better and better. So probably when you know we're old you know old older you know they'll have something where AI is actually doing that >> you know things but they they are going to it's going to continue to learn and it's studying >> what humans think how they think what they say so there's a you know there's a great component to it but as always there's always a ying and a yang there's also you know but that's everything I mean even when they when create when the car was created. Think about how many businesses, you know, were put out of business because the car was created. The people that picked up the dung on the side of the road, the people that, you know, I mean, there was a plethora of businesses wrapped around the horse and the carriage. That's right. Then you get this car that came in. But I think it's very important because I see people in the comments and I've seen so many people say this. Oh my gosh, I don't trust AI. I hate AI. The problem is God wants us to continue. As my sister Kesha said, and I say this all the time, occupy and take dominion. That means go and learn it. Why sit down there and talk about you hate it and you want no parts of it? It's coming. So go learn it and let it be let it be an added skill in your life. That that way you don't become obsolete. So even if you are a plumber, but you understand AI, you can now integrate that into your system. Same thing with mechanics. Same thing with with H all of these things. Don't just sit there and look at it and be like, I don't trust it. Because I I know people who are like, I don't trust AI. I hate AI. I'm like, >> it's a tool. Just like money is a tool. It is a tool. Just use the tool. Master the tool. That is what regardless of what AI does, we are still God's creation and we so we can always master these things. So I want people to remember that. So things can be used for good and bad too, right? You know, I mean, you look at, you know, the internet, it was used for there's a lot of positivity that we received out of the internet, but there's also been some negativity. But you could say that about everything. Every time we have something new introduced, people think they only talk about the bad. That's right. But there's also a lot of positives that come from it as well. That's right. And I I agree with that 100%. And I and I think we got to be careful. So I you know me I want to I'm I'm skeptical about everything >> and and I think it's very simplistic to think AI is bad >> all right or AI is good either both of those options are for me are too simplistic the difference between other inventions and AI the people who are creating AI see AI as revolutionary to anything else that's ever been created Similar to what MA says, it's not that AI is learning. Yes, it's learning, but the difference is AI is not learning for public use. AI is learning you as an individual, specifically you. When they invented a car, they invented a car for anybody to drive. When they invented the washing machine, it was for anybody in the public to use to wash their clothes. They are inventing a AI to specifically be able to do something with you. Now, that proposes something different than we've ever seen before. That doesn't mean it's automatically bad, but it also doesn't mean it's automatically good. It means that once again, we have to take agency in our lives and we have to responsibility. have to be watchers and and and look at this thing with with a a a slightly skeptical eye. I'm not saying don't learn it. Of course, learn it. Do not become obsolete. The people who will go into the future are the same as those who went into the past. Those who are nimble enough to adjust. You can't adjust. You will be left behind. And you will. And I ain't carrying you. Right. I ain't gonna carry it. I'm already on Minister Danzel's back. So there's no point. That's right. That's too much to carry now. That's it. That's it. Just me. So So I'm not saying again, we shouldn't be skeptical and we shouldn't necessarily be rejoicing. We should always hold oursel in a posture of using our brain and understanding. Again, like I said, go to the creators. The people who are making it are saying, "Eh, >> we love it. Yes, we're gonna do it, but they themselves are skeptical and we should be as well. Well, I think I think that you can say that about, you know, every invention that's ever been created, you know. So, I'm with you a thousand% on that one, Celeste. Amen. Did you want to add something, Dan? Yeah, we do need to be skeptical because Elon Musk was saying that he wants a world leader to end up being AI or AI to be a world leader one day. And I think that that is terrifying. And I don't think we should ever go down that route. Anybody that is programming AI to be in leadership roles over humans, they need to cut it out. No, I'm with you on that one, bro. They're they're already doing that, though. And that's why that's why I'm saying you you need to be uh informed on what technologies that AI has. But again, it's going to be up to the people and how the people legislate with AI, how the people um you know talk with AI like all everything that AI knows is from us. If you just look at your chat GPT, if however you talk that chat GPT picked up speak right back to you, >> we can that also goes back to using it as a tool. uh if you have a business because there's ways like your chatbot you can program it >> for that for what you just mentioned um there's ways that you could there's prompts you throw in there and you program it and say hey this is the business that I have and this is you know what I'm trying to get accomplished and if you use it accordingly you know it will help you you know advance your business at a rapid rate and it'll probably save you from having to hire three four people >> oh yeah >> um that you probably would have had to hire in the past but >> absolutely >> um but I'm with Celeste I think we should be you know skeptical and >> but also you know don't get left behind you know don't get left behind >> that's right >> don't walk don't live in fear you know especially if you're a believer >> you I mean we these things are going to come and go you you know when they when the car was invented they knew >> that it could potentially kill 40 I think what was it I think it was like 20,000 or 40,000 people a year or something like that but they still went on with the invention you know and I'm pretty most of us are glad that they You know what I mean? So, there's always going to be like these >> it's a um what is Thomas soul? It's a there there's never there's no perfect solutions. There's tradeoffs. That's right. You know, there's tradeoffs in the in what we can do. This is the other this is not the kingdom. Okay. This is not the kingdom of God that we're living in. This is the kingdom really. The earth is the is ruled by the kingdom of darkness. Okay. This world is dead and dying. It is condemned. the sticker is on the door. Okay? Like it's it's corrupt and you realize that that's where we live. However, >> our king has overcome this world. So yeah, you know, let's be mindful. Let's be uh cautious, but not let's not live in fear because God has not given us a spirit of fear. We're g we we see what it is. And we got something better than AI. We have the Holy Spirit. What is an AI with the Holy Spirit? You you you you you got nothing on the Holy Spirit, my guy. You don't you know what I mean? So like I just want to be just insert that like the Holy Spirit is far greater than AI. Oh yeah. And why? I I I just want to I just want to tell people this because I you know >> this is my this is my favorite lane in finance. Use your chat GPT to get yourself out of debt. Amen. They haven't blocked that portion. No, it's not blocked yet. Not only will it teach you how to get out of debt, it will also teach you >> It will write it for you. >> Exactly. >> It and it'll show you, okay, this is what you do. Now you're out of debt. that money that you were spending. Okay, this is how you invest it. Take advantage of it. That's right. To improve your plan. A great idea. Yeah. Churches should be doing because debt is slavery and nobody should in a church that allows them to continue to be enslaved. And I just want to add uh fear is false evidence appearing real. I want y'all to understand that. That's what fear stands for. So I need y'all to remember that. It's like the definition of AI. Exactly. So, so listen and don't make AI your God. Like for me, I will I have Listen, I have Emma. Emma knows me. Emma, Emma is my assistant because I have a lot going on. But Crystal is still going to use her own creativity that the Lord has blessed her with because I am the creation of the creator. Therefore, I have creativity in me. So, don't don't give up your creativity and just subject yourself to under under AI. No, you're right. Hey, Crystal, so you're not uh don't don't be the lady down there in Georgia who uh just got smacked down the the lawyer because she used chat GPT to create her case log and it put up all these phantom cases. She didn't check her work. She didn't cross check. She didn't check her work and it had like five different phantom cases that it was uh that it referenced. And she was just sitting there like uh uh like, "Yeah, look, ma'am, you didn't do your job. You didn't check you didn't check this. You just had AI write your case log for you. You're supposed you know how many times I like I said I named my my chatb I told her I said your name is Emma my Grock one name is Ava I'm like listen Emma Ava and I will they will tell me something it will tell me something and then I'll be like Emma that doesn't make sense can let let's rework that because they don't know again as as Mika said as Celeste said they're learning you it's learning you and it does not know everything so if you sit there and you trust that thing 100% now that's your fault because again God gave you common sense, gave you wisdom, gave you discernment, use it and stop just leaning on this. If y'all have not did a video on that, y'all need to go and find it. It's on X. I will. She looks bad. Very bad. That is hilarious. If you haven't seen it, it's it's on X. You can find it, Dan, too. Hey, y'all need to discuss that. It's >> It's a terrible look. Terrible look. AI be lying on the Bible. I I've corrected chat GPT on the Bible a many a times. So you can't even it even though the B it's there's so many versions. It's right there. It can scan it for you. That's why you got to know the word for yourself because this cross reference and you'll be like that is not the and then you'll be like but this says you know this and like oh good catch. Yeah >> that's on purpose. I'm telling you >> that's on purpose though. That's also letting you know you have to cross reference. You got to check it. Yes, it's going to help expedite things, but that doesn't take you out of the equation where you shouldn't check the work >> for real. Just just just cross reference it. That includes math. You know how many times I throw a pop problem in there just to play with it? Just playing with it. I'll throw a math problem there and I'm like, Emma, that is not the correct answer. And oh, I I'm sorry. You're right. Let me go ahead and rework it. And I'm like, come back again. I'm like, "That's still not the right answer." And then Emma be like, "You caught me again." I'm like, "Emma, are we playing are we playing puns right now?" No, Emma. Emma's giving you new math cuz you know they like the new math. Yeah, liberal math. As Jeff said, that liberal math >> AI messed up. Now, I never tried the math. But it didn't get the math right. You know, the new the new math is is because math is my thing. The new math is not about whether it's correct. It's about if you can just show your work, work the problem. That's not a >> collectment. Shout out to Mike C.
