Look at that Angela raie. So I want 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.120 to say first, we had an amazing live show last night. 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.080 I was a shout out to the people in Atlanta 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.720 as well as those who traveled. I met a young 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.200 lady I think a number of us did, who flew 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.560 from Miami. She and a colleague of hers, and then 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.479 she bought two more people who live in Atlanta along 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.280 with her to the show last night. And I said, 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.119 you came up, you came visit it. No, I heard 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:28.760 y'all were gonna be here, and so I came. 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:30.000 I'm a supporter. 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.400 I listened, and I regret that I'm not recalling her 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.800 name at the moment, but just thank y'all. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:36.960 Thank y'all so much. 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.080 Well every time. Time is the most valuable thing that 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:40.679 we had. There were a lot of people who spent 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.320 time with us last night we had the building was 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.600 almost packed in Wanery. Yeah. I just appreciated the camaraderie. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:51.400 And the City Wannery staff who were all incredible. And 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.520 to their chef who made some. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.320 It was they ain't had no broccoli, they had b 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.240 It was brock had the whole the whole thing. Yeah. 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.120 So a lot of people were asking about you, Angela RII. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.840 Yeah, so I'm sorry, Yeah. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.560 Feeling how you feeling? What's going on? 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.480 I think most importantly we're just checking out how my 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.720 dad is feeling. He had to go through like a 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.560 stint procedure, and they opted not to do the stint, 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.839 so now he's got some other cardio things to work through. 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.560 And I think we've all talked about on this show 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:30.000 just aging with aging parents is not for the faint 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:30.320 of heart. 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.360 But I would not have it any other way. Our 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:33.880 brother Leonard told me the other day. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.440 He was like, I would prefer getting older, and I 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.840 think that that's a good perspective to have. So I 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.800 would share a video with all of you in the audience. 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.280 But my dad didn't have his hat on, and he 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.160 can be a little vain. His hair was sticking up, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.280 and all he wanted was some chicken wings when he 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.919 could finally eat. So he is supposed to be discharged 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.560 later today. Of course we're recording Wednesday, but hopefully all 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.560 is well. I'm refusing to let him leave until he 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.000 sees a cardiologist because I think that they've made a 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:09.000 number of, you know, interesting decisions like pacemaker, no pacemaker, stint, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.240 Like we just we need to get on the same page. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.480 So I appreciate you all holding it down. I want 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.160 to say thank you to the community in Atlanta for 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.119 supporting my family. Andrew Bacari and Tiffany who came back 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.919 for a special appearance, and of course doctor Keith for 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.240 all she's doing in the community there in Atlanta as well. 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.239 So we really appreciate you all.

I wish 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:14.720 you would open up the Bible. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.480 I wish you would meet the Jesus that I met 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.800 when I went to an all boy Jesuit Catholic high school, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.320 the Jesus that took care of the sick, that took 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.160 care of the poor, that welcomed the immigrant, that welcomed 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.040 the marginalized, that help them. But instead you've used Jesus 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.160 as a mascot for I don't know, your white Christian supremacy. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.400 You're cruelty, your misogyny, and I'm so glad that people 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.079 are finally waking up to your cruelty and to the 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.800 idiocy of your star disciple Pete Hegseth, who keeps messing 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.680 up and literally does not read the Bible and quotes 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:44.280 pulp fiction. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:45.439 Just sit with them. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.520 Maybe both of you could read the Constitution, read the Bible, 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:49.520 and just take a break. 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:50.880 Pastor just take a break. 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.880 Yeah who less, sorry just to say your responds. Just incidentally, 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.679 we know that Jesus was not a socialist because he 0:10:58.800 --> 0:10:59.880 could actually feed people. 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:04.840 Wonderful great response. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.680 Next, Well, anyway, let's go to let's go to Troy 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.360 Neil's real quick while we're on this conversation. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.520 I believe that Donald Trump is uh is better than 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.079 sliced bread. I think he's he's he's almost a second coming. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.679 In my humble opinion. I think he's done a fantastic job. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.280 He's got a very difficult job. Pope's got a tough job. 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.640 You don't got issues in the church, but Donald Trump 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.840 is a very, very difficult job to do, the toughest 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:28.560 job in the world. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.400 I just want to say that I had a widow's 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.440 peak that was strong like that when I was younger, 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.520 and I wish somebody would fade him up. 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.719 His widow's peak goes all the way down here. So 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.240 who's got a tough job, widow? 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.600 I just think. I just think that people who are 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.040 like you know, men in Congress who are five six, 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.280 five to seven, have a very difficult job. And he is, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.840 he's he's going to struggle through it. You know, those 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.839 five six, five seven men out there. We shot it 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:54.640 and shot you out. 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.080 He's he's a he is a small man. 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:02.079 And it ain't because of how literally literally is that 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:05.760 because of his verticals that I don't know how anybody 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:11.120 fixes their lips and makes their heart and their mind 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:15.600 congruent with his words. I don't know if it's an 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.679 act anymore with these guys, because I think I'm pretty 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.640 much now convinced that if it's not an act, that 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.360 they may be the stupidest people that walks the face. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.360 Of the earth. Well you know who's not. As Raphael 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.839 Warnock and I wanted to, I want to in the 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.400 in the order that we played it. I wanted us 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.520 to be able to see the scripture as they see 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.880 it versus the scripture as we see it. And Senator 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.839 Rafael Warnock, who still works on Sunday mornings here not 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:48.760 far from. 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.000 Just quick correction, But Pope, fiction is not that that's 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.120 called script script for a movie. 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.160 They confuse it with scripture. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.840 I don't know what pete, pete doing. U let's play. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.199 Let's play, Rafael Warknox sermon to get us on point. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.920 Here, when the man who holds the highest office in 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.559 the land has been confirmed by a court verdict to 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.559 be a sexual abuser, that he could be heard on 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.640 Tate bragging about being a sexual abuser. We knew all 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.199 of that before he got elected the first time, and 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.520 yet there are Christians who will surround him this morning 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.960 and talk like he's the second Coming. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.160 Something's wrong with us. We need to be healed. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:44.439 We need to be healed. All of the nonsense around 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:51.040 the Epstein files, a cabale of awfulness and privilege and 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.840 power with all kinds of nameless victims, and that being 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.640 tate played out on both sides of the Atlante. And 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.360 they're those who are turning into a political game. This 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.680 is not about politics. This is about those who suffer 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.439 and cannot be seen and their voices are not heard. 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.800 And I dropped by this morning to tell. 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.480 You that God is not pleased with that. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.880 Little thing. Lord. That's Raphael Warnock preaching from the same 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.680 poolpit that doctor mar Luther King Junior preach from Ebenez, 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.760 a Baptist church not far from where we're sitting right now. 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.800 I think that, first of all, I mean in terms 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.360 of politics, which he said we're not we should not 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:38.480 be focused on, particularly on that moment. I always consider 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:39.920 him to be a dark horse for president of the 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.920 United States. I think people would fear that. I think 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.280 he has evangelicals that would support him. I think he's 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.360 a very interesting candidate. I think him and like a 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:52.200 Gretchen Whitmer as vice president would actually transform transform the country. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.400 But just back on the path of what we're talking 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.320 about and how God's only party of the GOP, I 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.880 think they're losing that battle when we talk about evangelical 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:01.240 I don't want. 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:02.560 To lose what you just said. We may need the 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.840 minipod on that one that I had not. I hadn't 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.240 thought about it, so I just want to put a 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.880 pin in it. Becare for future or conversation. But clearly 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.480 we see exhibited there what a real moral religious faith 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:22.160 leader looks. Sounds like how he comports himself. But it 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.040 didn't take too much effort to see the difference between 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:25.760 that one and what came before him. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.400 You know. One of the things that we can also 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:33.520 say is that scripture doesn't necessarily follow the politic or 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.440 the policy of some even in deep re at Ruby States, 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.000 I wanted to throw this up about Louisiana, and there 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.480 is a state House bill that's advanced that would force 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.240 unhoused people to choose between jail or a treatment program. 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.720 If they choose treatment, they have to pay for it themselves, 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.360 and if they can't afford to pay, they'll be forced 0:15:55.560 --> 0:16:01.640 to do unpaid labor slavery for the eight Yeah. So, 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:06.080 I mean we we we started out with Pete, then 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.000 we went to Troy Nell's and then we tried to 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.560 show you a glimpse of what it is from Ebenezer 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.800 Baptist Church. And now we're actually talking about how those 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:17.880 things effectuate policy, and we're seeing what's happening right now 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:18.520 in LOUISIUMA. 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.160 I wish we had somebody from down there to talk 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.040 about this. We will have a person in mind. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.760 Yeah, yeah, he's coming on. Yeah, well let's let's put 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.280 a pin in that for sure. And I asked Gary 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.240 about it. One of the things we've been preaching about. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.720 And I give I think people should give Angela Raie 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.640 a lot of credit for this, but the Save Act 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.560 there has been something that's been on our mind and 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.800 the tip of right tongue for a long time. And 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:46.960 John Thune recently it's come to our attention that the 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:52.400 leader of the Senate, the Senate Majlated Yes. The tweet 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.200 says that Trump called it his number one priority. He said, 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.280 we guarantee the midterms, and Thune's response per punch bowl 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.440 punch all the sudden that we all, you know, subscribe 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.800 to in the mornings. If we don't have other pressing 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.680 stuff in front of us, that has to get done, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:11.200 and we'll see about getting that going. The translation is 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.119 that's your number one priority, but it isn't even in 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.760 our top five. Earlier this year, Thune admitted the obvious, 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.119 we don't have the votes either to proceed get on 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.359 a talking filibuster nor sustain it if we got on it. 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.800 A bill would have would require twenty one million American 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.639 citizens to produce documents We've talked about that a lot, 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.119 including their birth certificate, just to register to vote and 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.719 actually vote on voting day. That bill is now, as 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:52.119 John Thune said, thea dead on arrival. Last week, we 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.360 talked about Marjorie Taylor Green, and one of the things 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.800 we talked about Marjorie Taylor Green was her come to Jesus. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.119 You see the theme here, I'm actually rocking with a thing. 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:02.920 There's an oddity to it, but I get it. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.200 Yeah, a paradox, it's a paradox. 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:06.920 It's a paradox. 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.240 Yeah, let's let's look at Tucker Calls and I see 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.000 if he had the same Jesus meeting the rest of 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:12.480 us had at birth. 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.760 So looking back being because I mean you and I 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.840 and everyone else who supported him. He wrote speeches for him, 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.000 I campaigned for him. I mean, we're implicated in this 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.560 for sure. Yes, it's not enough to say well I 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.520 changed my mind, or like, oh this is bad, I'm out. 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.000 It's like in very small ways, but in real ways, 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.520 you and me and millions of people like us are 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:41.040 the reason this is happening right now. Yes, so I 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.520 do think it's like a moment to wrestle with our 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:48.760 own consciences. Uh, you know, we'll be tormented by it 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:49.520 for a long time. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:50.080 I will be. 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.840 And I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people. 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.159 It was not intentional, That's all I say. But anyway, 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.359 but the question does present a self im mediate like 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.640 what is this? Was this always the plan? You don't 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.840 want to be a conspiracy nut, but like, clear there 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.080 were signs of low character we need Clearly there signs 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.320 of tons of people of low character who like perform 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:13.240 their character. 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:15.159 It doesn't have to be. 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:19.280 Sort of the norm. Actually, these days I've outperformed. 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:19.640 My character a lot. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.840 You know, I'm sorry. 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:30.280 I just I've already dragged Tucker Cross and for filth. 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.800 But I just want to say this again to you, Tucker, 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.160 this is why you have aged like spoiled milk, because 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.720 you have you knew what you were doing. You can't 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:45.000 say clearly there were signs of like character flaws and 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.040
