How we doing, everybody? Welcome back to the King's Council Live with myself, Riley Meek, and Christian Edwards, where we have unfiltered conversations on politics, current events. But we do this from a Kingdom perspective. We do this to impact culture and ultimately transform lives. And today we got an epic show. Today we're going to talk about the Pentagon failing their seventh audit. Oh, man. Once again, once again, Matt Gaetz withdraws from the ag and who in the world is Pam Bondi? Meanwhile, all this is going on, and Joe Biden is making it easier for illegals to enter the U.S. joining us today is going to be Mr. Grant Stitchfield from Stitchfield tonight in his podcast, Stitchfield Podcast. But before we do that, Christian Edwards. What's happening, brother?

What's up, man? How you doing? How's your week? How's everybody's week? Get active in the chat. Tell us how you're doing. I'm pumped up, man. I'm in the holiday spirit, if you will. The only spirit I like to be in is in the Holy spirit, but the holiday cheer, if you will. And, you know, know, my wife, she. She's not big on holidays, birthdays, any of that stuff. And this year, she caught the bug. I. I don't know what it is, but, oh, yeah, she's going all out this year. When we moved, it moved to Texas. We got, you know, a big tree. We got three Christmas trees and all the decorations. And she surprised me two years ago. Then last year, she didn't even want to put anything up. But now I don't know what it is. She got the bug.

It's that Trump spirit in the air, baby. Maybe everybody's in a better mood, man. Everybody's in a better mood.

That's a fact. That's a fact. Everybody is. And I hate to say that, like, I was stressed out or felt anxious or anything, but there was a measure of anxiety for pretty much everybody in this nation leading up to the election, and for good reason, because I think if we had lost the election, some things would be going on in the next four years. Like we see over in England, where people are tweeting about, you know, trans things and police are showing up in their house in the middle of the night to arrest them just for tweeting things that are transphobic. So I. I don't think our nation was too far from that. So now that we don't have to deal with that crap, at least for the next four years, then, by all means, let that anxiety, that heaviness, that uncertainty lift and let's have at it.

Yes. Let's have at it. I see Free in the chat. What's up, Free? Good to see you again, man.

What's up, man?

I love. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to meet Free and West Virginia Summit Church, Elkins, West Virginia. What's up to all of our Summit Church family out there as well, man. I'm excited for. For today's show. We got a lot to dive into. It's also. It's good to hear that Lucy's in the. The Christmas spirit already. Do you have your Christmas tree up yet, though? Because, bro, we do.

You do? No, not yet. Next Friday. As soon as we're done with the show. Next Friday, it's going up.

Yes. All right. All right. It's normally after Thanksgiving for us, but this year, Ellie's. Our daughter's gonna be gone for a week or two, and so Ash is like, we're putting this thing up. So of course it's like, 13ft tall. I'm, you know, almost falling off the ladder trying to put this thing on the. The star or whatever that thing is, but it's up. It's up.

And you don't hire somebody to put it up. No, you don't hire somebody.

I don't hang the pictures in my home, but I do put up our tree. They stack on each other. I was pretty good at Legos as a kiddo, so I can at least do that.

Cool.

Yeah, dude. So we got a lot to kind of dive into today, and we're gonna. We're gonna bring on Mr. Grant Stitchfield here in a little bit for you guys as well. If you guys don't know who he is, he's become a friend over the last few years, which is awesome to see him down in Texas when. When I go down and visit Christian, and I'm just excited to have him on, man. When's the last time you spoke with Grant?

Just last week. Just last week. And then to get him on the.

Show, not counting that, dude, not counting that right now.

We stay in touch. We stay in touch. It's good to have those guys in your life that you could just call, whether it's once a week, once a month, or once a year. But you pick up and you catch up like, you never miss a step.

And he answers like this, brother.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

That's great, dude.

Grant's awesome. He's got the. The evening show on Real America's Voice called Stinchfield. Tonight. He's got his own podcast here on Rumble.

Brother, I don't know how to do this stuff, dude. You know Royce has to be in control, bro. But as. As we're waiting for him to. To hop on here, I think he's probably just getting off one of his other shows. If you guys haven't noticed this T shirt I'm wearing, I want to give a shout out to Stand up now apparel, our good buddy, Gerard White. This stuff is incredible.

Yes, King K I N G. Speaking of a king, let's welcome to the studio, Mr. Grant Stinchfield. What's happening, brother?

What's up, guys? Happy Thanksgiving to you. It's great.

What's up, man? Good to see you.

Good to see you guys too. It's great having me on. I appreciate the invite today.

Yeah. Well, we're honored to have you on, man. We know that your podcast, Stitchfield, is blowing up. We know you're busy in the evenings with Stitchfield tonight. We know you're busy in the mornings with the radio show out in LA that you're doing. So we appreciate the time.

I delayed my own podcast to come on your podcast today. Everybody on Rumble. Grant Stitchfield. Just type it in there. You'll find me, find me there after. After we get done here. But it's great to see you. Yeah, we're busy, but it's so much fun, and it's like a load off my shoulders. And people said, oh, is it less work now? Well, you still have the same amount of content to fill, but the stress level has gone down tremendously just from the unknown of what's going to happen. Even though I felt very confident President Trump was going to win, I feel like there's just a load off, and I feel like there's an ease and calmness that has come over this country that, that feels good for a change.

Yeah. When we first got on, Riley mentioned it and we're talking about it a bit, everybody just seems like they're in a better mood. Yeah, everybody except for the, the liberals that are shaving their heads and leaving the country. Ellen DeGeneres, all that crap, they're not taking it so well. But the majority of the country seems to be at ease.

You know, the sad part here is leave it to me to bring in the bad news, but the honeymoon's over for President Trump. This thing with Matt Gaetz of him being basically forced out here, this is what I'm calling Revenge of the Rhinos. President Trump's greatest threat is going to come from Republicans, not the Democrats. And this is just a sign. It's Matt Gates. Today it's going to be some bill. Tomorrow, it's going to be undermining everything he's doing to make America great again. The establishment in Washington, the deep state who they work with, they want to do, can do to shut President Trump down and his mission to, to turn this nation around and get back to the way we used to be. This is what the American people asked for. And, and what happened yesterday is a sign of that. And you look at even, like the judge confirmations, Republicans are telling us that somehow this is a big win, that we're going to only give them four district court judges and President Trump's going to get the four appellate court judges. No, shut it all down. Between now the. And President Trump taking office. Why, why is Joe Biden getting any appointments to the, to these judge positions? He shouldn't be. So as much as I feel like, yes, we're feeling better, yesterday was like a wake up call. Here we go. It's going to be another four years of fighting for President Trump and mostly fighting my own party, which is just so sad.

Yeah, yeah, brother. Well, why is that? Why do you think that is? Because this is going to be one of my questions for you. And, and I want to even hear some of your, your thoughts on, on Pam, because I Literally know nothing about her. And, you know, that's slightly more than Christian knows about her, besides the fact.

That she's a total smoke show. Besides that, you don't know anything about it. So, bam. Bondi, first. She used to come on my Newsmax show all the time when I was over at Newsmax. She's fabulous. She's smart. She knows what she's doing. And I think the Democrats, if they're smart, are going to realize Pam Bondi actually may be more of a threat than Matt Gaetz because she's going to know how to operate inside a Department of justice after running, you know, a similar agency in Florida. So Pam Bonding is going to be very dangerous. She's fiercely loyal to President Trump, which is what President Trump needs. He's not making the same mistakes he made with, with Bill Barr. So rest assured, she's going to be great. Riley, you're not going to have to worry about Pam Bondi.

Yeah. And obviously, Trump was really quick, so she must have been in the higher, you know, running of it in the first place, because the moment the announcement from Gates, like Trump had a announcement of she's it right away. So that's got to be encouraging. I would. I would think, at least.

Yeah. You know, Ken Paxton here, the Attorney General in Texas. I know, Christian, you're in Texas. He was in the running for this as well. He's got some. Some issues. Now, I'm 100% behind Ken Paxton, the Attorney General in Texas. I think he's the best Attorney general that we have to offer in any state in the country. He is the number one guy to take the fight to the left, but he's got some issues that the Democrats would exploit, overplay, sensationalize. And it may have been hard to get him confirmed. Now they're talking about him possibly for FBI, but my pick for FBI is Cash Patel, former Trump aide, former chief of Staff to the Director of National Intelligence. So he's a great guy, and I know Cash really well. Cash is a close friend of mine, so that's who my pick is for, for that. But we're in a good spot. I mean, President Trump's doing the right things. I like all of his picks, so we'll see how this plays out and how the confirmations go. This Lisa Murkowski and Collins and Mitch McConnell, they're all butthurt over the McCarthy thing, and I think they're going to make life difficult for President Trump.

Yeah. Now, we were all kind of expecting something to happen before the election, whether it be another Covid like outbreak or something like that. But I'm hearing now Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they're, they're working back channels to make sure World War Three doesn't break out before January 20th.

So, you know, it's interesting you brought this up because I was talking to my co host, Jen Horn, who, who is out at the Morning Answer. You guys should have her on, by the way. She's absolutely fabulous. So President Trump is going to have a fabulous four years. And I said he's got to do what he does best, be bold, push his agenda. But there's one thing that he's going to need and it's a little bit of luck, right? I always just say getting lucky. Lucky was a racehorse at Belmont. We're blessed, right? Not lucky. We're blessed, man. But luck does come in play a little bit, right? He's gonna have to have some luck to get through these next four years that China doesn't do something crazy. Now, you make your own luck in this world, right? You, you, you do some things to stop China from, from taking action against us. But, you know, natural disasters, all of these things that can upend an economy. You know, a pandemic, a plandemic as we all like to call it, another one of those unleashed on the American people. It upends everything. So he's going to do the things he's going to do to prevent it. But you're going to have to get a little lucky to get through this. If we get a little lucky, I think we have an even bigger margin of victory next time around because those people are going to see the values of conservatism, America, first principles, and realize how great their life was from the last four years.

Yeah. Amen to that.

Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely, man. Yeah. I was gonna say luck. I'm gonna just call it favor, baby. I think God's just hand of mercy has, has just poured out over this country yet again. And I think it is just a lot of, a lot of our listeners just standing in the gap, interceding and just praying for that. And no question, you know, God's. A lot of people have different views on Trump. I mean, we're all, all fans of him for leading this country and again making America great again. But I truly believe that, you know, he spared his life and he's, he's chosen him to lead this charge for us here and extremely, extremely honored.

So that, that's where clearly President, President Trump was saved by the hand of God on his shoulder on both of these assassination attempts, but really the one where the bullet whizzes by him and takes off his ear, or part of it. So clearly God plays a role in that. Clearly, God played a role in getting President Trump elected. But God also gives us free will. And, Christian, you and I have talked about this a lot. God gives you free will. God is going to make him get elected. We had to have people actually vote for him. And so, you know, yes, it takes God to do that, but it also takes all of us to wake up. And really, this election restored my faith in many respects. Respects in America, because I was really losing faith in many of the people in America. Not all of them. Not the people who watch this or Graham's channel or. Or myself, most of the people on Rumble, but a lot of people in America. I was really losing faith. And I'm just saying, how can you be so dumb? This doesn't make sense. Everything they're pushing is ridiculous nonsense. How do people not see it? This election restored my faith that the majority of Americans at least did see it.

Yeah. Is that because the left went so far to the left, the pendulum went so wide and so radical that everyday people who maybe aren't watching the news, into politics really have a finger on the pulse of what's going on. They're finally like, enough is enough.

So that's my biggest concern, right, Is did we win because Joe Biden was so bad and Kamala Harris were so bad and the country suffered so much, and people just said, oh, well, we got to do something else?

We.

Or did we win because they remembered what it was like under President Trump and they realized the policies that he is pitching are better? I go to California. California is a good barometer of what happens across the country because they try everything out there. California didn't. Didn't. We had great gains, didn't vote for President Trump overwhelmingly, but every county gained voters towards Republicans and President Trump. That's a huge sign. Did that happen because of exactly what you said, Christian? Because they see the value of President Trump or because they were oppressed so much? I think a lot of it is that they were oppressed so much and they realized we got to try something different. Hopefully the next four years can change their minds that this is why they voted like that and change it. But I'm worried if it's because they only vote for us when things are really bad. What happens when things are really good? Do they default back to their old ways? Sometimes they do. I watched this in Texas you had liberals moving to Texas. They don't even know why they're moving to Texas. They just know my real estate's too much, the gas is too much. They don't understand its liberal policies. And they come to Texas and then they vote for liberals again. But things have shifted. The people leaving California are not the hardcore liberals. They're the conservatives that have given up on California. Now they're moving to Texas and Florida and Tennessee and Arizona and Nevada, and they're voting for conservatives. But the last bashing of conservatives in California, I think some of them are leaving because they can't take it anymore.

So, yeah, yeah, you know, Grant, we, we talk through things, today's issues, through a kingdom perspective, a biblical perspective, and with end time prophecy in mind. And I, I taught through the book of Daniel in 2016, and my prediction was that Trump would win. The, the left will go nuts. And then, because there's an Antichrist that's going to come on the scene at some point, and before he's revealed as an Antichrist, he's gonna create this one world government. There's going to be a world peace. The first time Israel has ever seen peace. He's going to create that. So I always try to look at this, okay, so Trump won. And then all of a sudden, our nation became more divided over political parties than ever before, really. And now Trump is back in. It seems like a lot from the left, even like, guys, Joe Rogan, who used to be Democrats, guys in the public eye. They're now, they may not say Republicans, but they voted Republican. And now I'm trying to see how this plays out, because Israel is obviously the focal point in scripture, seeing what's going on over there. So I'm trying to see this through a biblical lens and see, okay, what's going to happen now? I think we're going to have four years. And this is God's grace and mercy on this country. Because we see all throughout Scripture, when a nation turns from God, there's repercussions and he usually does something to wake them up. Like you said, Grant. Yeah. Like they get taken captive into Babylon, that sort of thing. They allow an evil God, allows an evil king to rule and reign and just ruin the land. So once these four years are up, I mean, do you think this is going to be a Christian nation again? What. What are you thinking?

So this is why I love this country, needs people like you, Christian. And Riley, take an optimistic view at this. And that is an optimistic view. I think my belief is, and I've been saying this for a long time, that this country is under a satanic attack. Just because President Trump won doesn't mean the attack is over. They are still going to come with all the vengeance and fire that they have. This is Satan at work. I think he's taken over the souls of many of these blind liberal zombies, which is what they are to operate the way they do. I think you're going to see the deep state rise up and do everything it can and gnash their teeth together and try to take out President Trump. By no means is this battle over. I can't even say that God has won yet in, in all of this, because this is going to be the fight for a continued fight for the soul of this nation over the next four years.

You.

You are going to see this play out. It is going to be a battle like you have never seen before, because they hate President Trump so much. And even more than that, they hate us for voting for him. They hate us maybe more than they hate President Trump because we voted for him. So I would like to say, yes, we're on the right path, but, man, oh, man, Satan's attack on this country, far from over.

Yeah, that's so, so true. And I'm gonna, I'm gonna correct you. God's already won, brother. That, that's. God could do this with any of us at any point in time if he wanted to. But as you mentioned, we do have that free will and, and evil is, is running rampant here in not just America, but through. And it will continue to be that way. And we as believers are called to occupy until he comes. And this is where I really believe, you know, God blesses our, our footprints, not our butt prints. And why more and more believers. And when I say believers, because I think even the term Christians is just thrown out there because there's. There's plenty of people that say, I'm a Christian, right? Like, I'm a Christian, but at the end of the day, there's zero fruit in any of their life because they're not, they're not standing for truth. They're not actually willing to fight the fight, be at the battle lines like you are and, and expose just what the evil that's actually going on in America here. And so I think there was an awakening that had, had taken place over the past couple years. But again, as you mentioned, it is, it is. Now is the time where we have, we have to be on the offense, right? We know the gates of hell, they shall not prevail and that's a defensive mechanism. So like we, we need to be on the offense here and continue to take territory when the time is right. Like I believe we're entering a harvest season here and, and we need to be the ones that are actually stepping up and, and battling, and continuing to battle that evil that's running rampant here.

Yeah, I mean, President Trump's victory is only one step in the right direction. You know, you're going to think to get rid of the deep state, and the deep state is real. When I ran for Congress 12 years ago, we didn't call it the deep state. Really. President Trump coined that phrase. I call it a ruling class of career bureaucrats. Deep state, ruling class or whatever, they're dug in and they don't have the people's best interest at heart. They have their own best interest at heart and power and they're power hungry. To get rid of them in Washington is going to be such a battle. You're going to need President Trump for the four years to get this, get it started. We saw he didn't even come close to getting rid of him in the first four years, but he knows a lot more now than he did then. Right. He knows who to trust, who not to trust. And, and there's only very few you can actually trust in Washington, if any. I know a few people you can trust in Washington, but not very many. So you're going to need the next administration to be a make America great again and the next. And you're going to have to have at least 12 years of this to try to really take back ground, as you say, because I'm concerned. We lost a lot in four years. We lost a lot.

Yeah, we did, we did. But I think too, what the enemy, you know, means for evil, God uses for good. And you know, Trump knowing and learning a lot, putting the right people in position is going to allow us to, I think, even advance even further here where that 12 years is, is a real, that could be a reality of, of us leading.

I'll tell you this though, you're gonna need more conservatives like the Matt Gaetz's of the world, like, like, you know, the Freedom Caucus members. Without them, this goes nowhere. This goes absolutely nowhere. And so we were starting to pick up more ground where we're getting real, well, what I would call real people being elected into office at a congressional level. But we need a lot more for sure.

Yeah, real people meaning like not, not career lawyers.

Lawyers.

Yeah, okay, lawyers.

I don't know what it is About Washington. They love lawyers. Yeah. You make laws. You don't need to be a lawyer to make laws. It's common sense. I'd like to send somebody up there to repeal laws, not make them. We don't need any more laws on the books. It's the last thing we need. But lawyers love to go up there and gum up everything. I don't know if you guys ever been involved in any kind of. Of lawsuits, political cases. I've. I've had so many at such a high level, whether it was with the nra, whether it's this voting machine stuff, whether it's divorces, the lawyers love to screw it all up. They don't benefit from making things go smoothly or making deals or making it happen or pushing it through. They benefit from gum in the whole system up. What do you think? Washington sucks. So more it's because the lawyer is up there.

Yes. So true, man. Yeah, I've been in, I've been a part of some myself, where it's like, can we get this?

I want to say I want you to go do this, not tell me why I can't do it. I want a lawyer that's going to tell me how they're going to figure out a way to make that happen legally. Right. Like, figure it out. Don't tell me why I can't do it. Figure it out. The lawyers are the group of no is what it seems like I want. Yes. Is what I want.

Yeah.

Amen to that. Yeah. Well, you mentioned Free Will Grant, and I was, you know, the night of the election and seeing the, the electoral votes go up and up for Trump, I was like, yes, the church is really showing up. And then you get all these reports afterwards that it's like the lowest number of Christians in years. And I thought that this would be the. The year because I was never so pumped to vote in my life as I was this year. And the Bible study I lead on Wednesday mornings where we're talking about the election, we're getting people pumped up, and there is a remnant of truly righteous, godly people. And if you're a true Christian, like Riley said, it's not just because you call yourself a Christian. It's because you take action and you're obedient to what God says. And I thought for sure the church that were true Christians just didn't vote would show up. But it takes us, like God throughout scripture. God uses his people to accomplish things. It's not just us sitting back and praying. Praying is great, of course, but we need to go out and do.

I think it was Riley or Scott, maybe you, who said, and. And I know it's a famous phrase, but perfection is the enemy of success, right? This is the Christians. This is Christians problem when it comes to voting for President Trump. They want perfection. I can't vote for him either. Come on. Well, what's your option? Not voting and getting Kamala Harris? Like, at some point you've got to say, nobody's perfect, right? I mean, isn't that one of the premier tenets of God? Only God's perfect. None of us are perfect. So just get off your asses and go vote. If 32 million Christians don't vote, quite frankly, we probably never lose an election ever. As Republicans, if all Christians voted, who were supposed to, but they don't. And I don't know whether it's like a high and mighty attitude, like it's this morally superior bullcorn, but, you know, at some point you got to just say, hey, I'm voting for the best guy we got, and that's President Trump. And stop with this moral high ground where I guarantee you three quarters of these Christians are. I'll give you this example. I live in Dallas, Texas. It's the Bible Belt, okay? It's Sunday. Now, you know me. I'm not the perfect Christian, but I try. But I might run up 35 to Choctaw Casino, okay? It's all freaking Texas license plates on a Sunday. All right? Now, I thought they're all Baptists that aren't supposed to be gambling and all that. It's all Texas license plates on a Sunday. So knock it off with. With your high and mighty moral bull corn, because I know in your own life you're not living up to it either. I hope this is not out of line on your podcast.

No, I just. I never heard the word bull corn before, so.

Well, I didn't. So that's my. That's my phrase for not having to.

I might take it. I might take it, man. I love it.

Yeah, and you're so right. We need to speak up. And it's the rule of tacit admission, right? Our silence equals consent. So if we just sit back and we stay quiet, then we're actually consenting to what the left is doing, and we're consenting to abortion. We're consenting to mutilation of our kids. Like, I. I don't get it. And that's why I. I mean, I. We know that the. It's a broad gate for. For the gates of hell and it's narrow for those who actually make it to heaven. And I think it's going to be far less or, or far more than what we even think is in heaven. I think there's going to be a lot of these Christians that don't wind up there because they're not truly Christian.

You know, I put a lot of the blame on is pastors. I put a lot of blame on pastors because they don't want to talk about politics. They hide behind this wall at all. You're not supposed to talk about politics. And there's some law that says you can't talk about politics in church. Talk about bull corn. That's bull corn. You can't hold a campaign event for somebody in church, raise money for them. But you can certainly talk about your values and why you're voting for someone over another person and explain what's good or bad about candidates. There's nothing illegal about that in church. And yet you have many pastors who are so hesitant to talk about politics. And in fact, I've said it to you guys before, you can't be a Democrat and a Christian. Not today. Maybe you could 30, 40 years ago, you can't. Today the two ideologically do not align. You cannot be a Christian and a Democrat. So I hate to break the news to all the Democrats that think they are, including all the pastors in these inner cities that claim to be Democrats. Well, what you're preaching does not align with the Democrat Party today. So we need to open our eyes to that.

We do. Man, I'm so on board with that too, man. It's, it's, it's become too, too unfortunate where, you know, shepherding a flock, so to say, is, is like leading them to, to slaughter. And we need more sheepdogs. Like we need some that are willing to actually, you know, get in the fight and truly disciple people and, and be willing to lose members. Right? And I think that's the biggest thing I love. Last week we had Pastor Rob McCoy on, who was co chair of Turning Point Faith. And you know, he funnily says, you know, he preached his way down to like, you know, a few hundred members or something like that. And it's like, because he doesn't, doesn't care, he's not trying to win people over and find the favor of man because he serves an audience of one. And that's where I think pastors really need to understand, you know, the cotton candy gospel is not the gospel.

I think that guy is an anomaly because I actually think that if you speak your mind and you believe in what you're saying, that people will then flock to you. Like, just look at this. Now, this is about religion, but look at this bakery situation with Whoopi Goldberg where she claimed that the bakery in Staten island didn't send her cupcakes. She was black in her politics and all this stuff. And meanwhile, the boiler was down. Well, I know a lot of people in Staten Island. I'm from New York, and I know a lot of people are involved in politics, and it's a good conservative area. This bakery isn't even involved in politics. The family, the Halterman's, they're not even involved in politics. They don't even talk about politics. But what happened There were lines out the door of the bakery to go support them after they were being attacked. And I think people perceived them as being conservatives. They're not even. But people flock to them to support them. I think pastors would see the same thing happen in huge numbers if they would be open and bold.

Yes, absolutely.

These pastors, they're so afraid that they're going to say something offensive that one person might lose. Leave the church, and it's less money coming into the church. Well, guess what? We're preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's offensive, right? People are going to be offended when you call out people on their sin. That's offensive. Yeah, people don't take that too well. But, yeah, we need bold pastor to step up. Grant, I know you. You got to get out of here. You got a busy schedule. So everybody who's tuning in now, don't. Don't jump over to his page quite yet.

No, no, no. Everything tapes on Rumble anyway. You can watch anytime you want. I don't want anybody to leave here for. For mine, but Grant Stitchfield here on. On Rumble and Stitchfield 1776 on just about every social media platform. And really, the Real America's Voice show has been fabulous off like Wildfire as well. So 7pm every night on Real America's Voice. Most of you know, Steve Bannon is there, Charlie Kirk is there, John Solomon is there. I'm there. And it's a. It's a great network. So check. Check me out in all those places. And you guys are so great, and I love what you're doing, and it's great to come on here. And. And Graham Allen, for letting you have a platform on Rumble, too. He's awesome. He's become a good friend, too.

Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you, brother.

Appreciate you, man.

Absolutely.

Guys, one last Question.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thanksgiving Day, brother. Big game for you. Who you taking?

Which Giant, Giants and Cowboys.

Cowboys. Yeah. Well, I am a Cowboys fan now. I've been in Dallas 22 years, so I'm a big Cowboys fan, but, man, they suck. I'm ready, you know, I'm still a New York fan at heart. New York fans are. Are harsh. Right? So my New York Yankees, who I love, go in the World Series, and I'm ready to get rid of the whole team. Blow them up. These bums. They're nothing but bums. Losing the World Series the way they did. Right. We want to win. Cowboys fans want to win. We have not won in so long. This is so bad. Jerry Jones needs to just retire. And so it's hard being a Cowboys fan. My son's a Browns fan. That's even harder, though. They had a huge win last night against the Steelers.

Yeah.

What a game that was. Yeah.

Great game.

Yes.

Yeah.

But, yeah, the Cowboys, Giants, jets, dysfunctional franchises, and I think all the fan bases are actually going to tune in on Thanksgiving hoping that they lose so they get a better draft pick next year.

That's exactly right. We got to just start tanking it. So we get. I'm focused on my Mavericks now, and we lost Luca. We could make this a whole sports show if you want.

Yeah, we usually talk sports at the end, brother, but you gotta go, so.

Oh, man, I'm so.

Have you back on. We'll have you back on.

Please do. Please do.

Yeah. Love you, Grant. Appreciate you.

Right back at you, fellas. You guys are fabulous. I appreciate you all, too. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

Happy Thanksgiving.

All right, bye.

All right. Mr. Grant Stitchfield.

Yes, absolutely. Always great to. To chat with him. We had a lot more to talk about, though. Christian, what. What else is going on in. In the world today?

Yeah, well, I mentioned Israel and the icc. The International Crimes Committee, they just issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant, the guy who was his defense minister. And it's wild. There. There's this Muslim mayor in Dearborn, Michigan, that came out and said. He tweeted it. He says that if Net Yahoo steps foot on our soil, we're going to arrest them. And it's just wild.

Is he supposed to go to Dearborn, Michigan?

I don't think Netanyahu plans on going to Dearborn, Michigan anytime soon.

Right.

However, if he does, this Muslim mayor, he's going to make sure that guy's arrested.

That's funny.

And it's just crazy. And we see how the world has been Deceived. Right now if Hamas came and did to us in this nation what they did to Israel in October 2023, then we would see things through a different lens. But of course, the way the media portrays things and just the easy deception of unbelievers, they're so easily deceived. The scripture says that the enemy blinds the minds of unbelievers. It's like these terrorists are the victims. Now where Israel. There's a great guy, Amir Sar. Sarfati. His last name starts with a T. Amir Sarfati. If you want any up to date news on Israel, follow him on Telegram because he's got stuff that not only does the, the, the media doesn't show, but he's got, he's got connections in Israel where he gets some videos and scoops that nobody else gets. So that's definitely a good guy to follow. But it's just ridiculous. And now you hear, you know, we're supposed to be given weapons to Israel and the Biden administration is holding that back. Not, not giving Israel weapons, but then sending more weapons to Ukraine against Russia. And it, we know I mentioned these, this end time prophecy and this biblical outlook, we know based EZEKIEL Chapter 38, there's going to be this gigantic battle, right? And we know that in this battle it's going to be Gog and Magog. It's going to be the, the leader of Russia. So Russia is going to be the, the one that, that's leading this campaign. Now I thought that this might be it when Israel got attacked in 2023, because it's going to happen. I mean, it's been happening, but there's going to be this battle like the world's never seen before. But the leader of today's Russia is going to be at the forefront of it and everything is kind of ramping up to that. However, scripture says that it's going to be at an unsuspecting time.

So.

Right, Israel, definitely they're suspecting it now and they're in the midst of it now. So I don't think this is exactly Ezekiel 38, but you see the nations that are going to be involved and Russia is a major player there. Turkey, Libya. We see these nations that are mentioned by other names in Ezekiel 38, what they were called at the time. But we, we see what's going on in Israel and I think like anything else, we could just kind of turn a blind eye to it. You know, if it's not in front of your face, if you're not thinking about it, reading it, seeing it, then you turn a blind eye. But I mean, this guy, Amir, he's posting videos all the time from these missiles that are being intercepted over his house constantly. Imagine living like that. But you're the bad guy because you're defending yourself.

Yes.

I don't get it.

Yeah, it's wild, man. Yeah. That's why I love picking your brain on, on Bible prophecy. Because it's just like we know that. We know that stuff's gonna happen and we just, you know, it's. It's one of those things where we, we don't have control over it, but we are still to occupy, as I mentioned earlier, until he comes. And so coming back, though, to craziness, we'll just, we'll come back to here in the, in the U.S. nancy Mace. Nancy Mace, Yes. Do we, do we have a video for this or just, just a post.

That was a video for ripping down these signs? Go ahead.

Yeah.

So what is this?

This says you can't erase us, Nancy. Well, then you shouldn't try to erase women.

For any man that wants to be in a woman's restroom, bathroom, dressing room.

Locker room, Absolutely not.

Love it. Yeah. And I love how now I. I heard Graham and Todd, Tony and Royce talking about this a couple days ago on the show, and Todd was frustrated that you see so many people standing up now doing the Trump dance and things like that, and everybody is like, like MAGA all the way. But it's like, I. I don't really care if they weren't before, if they were silent before, get on this bandwagon now. And now when conflict arises, when things get hot again, throughout these four years, at the end of these four years, just stay on that bandwagon. Right? Whatever gave you the, the confidence to do it, now stay on that bandwagon. Continue to be outspoken.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's. I have a 12 year old daughter and it's like this. If there's a dude going in there, like, there's no chance. It's just. It's just not gonna happen. And so wasn't. Wasn't she speaking or something and. And some crazy freak like, tried to charge her.

Yeah, Yeah, I think we got a clip of that too. You got that one, Royce.

It is the day after trans day of visibility. We have had dozens of trans people die this year because of the hate and lies that you are.

For everyone or just a privileged few.

Are you going to stand up for the lives of trans people, Black and brown people? Are we fighting for justice or are.

We fighting for big tech?

He looks. He looks like he's in his right mind.

Yeah. And especially, God forbid, the day after trans day of visibility. Right. Which I. I think Biden even tweeted about it, acknowledging that and even talking about, like, the people who lost their lives, the trans people who've lost their lives. Where are these people that. That have lost their lives?

Anybody knows a trans person that's lost their life because of hate? I would love to. I would love to know if that is. Is even a thing, because that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Yeah. And I, I don't care about their business. It's like I, I have my, you know, my opinion of it, which I don't think is opinion is a fact. A man will always be a man. A woman will always be a woman. There's two genders. And that. That's not just an opinion, that's a fact, because that's what God said in scripture. But I don't understand why they think that we, like, what are. What rights are we taking away? That's everything. So in our face. It's so in our face to the point where, like, we're talking about Grant. The. The pendulum is. Has shifted so far to radical. It's so in our face. Like, get out of our face. Do. Do what you want.

Like, but.

But just get out of my face. Don't bother me with it.

Right? Absolutely. And didn't AOC has a pretty good response to this, that the women are. Are threatened by not allowing men into the bathroom or something moronic like that? Do we have that clip, Royce?

Yeah.

Sweet, sweet, sweet.

What Nancy Mace and what Speaker Johnson are doing are endangering all women and girls.

Because if you ask them what is.

Your plan on how to enforce this, they won't come up with an answer.

And what it inevitably results in are.

Women and girls who are primed for assault because they want.

Because people are going to want to.

Check their private parts in suspecting who.

Is trans and who is CIS and who's doing what.

And so the idea that.

Nancy, I don't think we need to check their private parts. I think we checked their Adam's apple pretty. It's pretty clear before they're walking into the bathroom.

Right.

I mean, it's just. It's so moronic, brother.

And quite frankly, if you're a little kid and unfortunately, parents are letting. Look at that picture, that close up of aoc, that. That's lunacy. Like, is that a Demon in there. What is that? Yeah, that's just lunacy. But if you bring like there's times where guess what? Lucy has to bring my 4 year old son into the woman's room because that there's, that's just the way it is, right? That like. And I've been went into public restrooms where a father is with his little daughter and I make sure I go into the stall if I got to use the bathroom, even if they're just washing their hands or something. So.

Right.

Like what do you mean that this is a threat to them. Nobody's gonna be checking their genitalia. But, and it's pretty clear because if you're a kid who's a boy dressing up like a girl, it's pretty clear. And we could probably tell by their parents blue hair or shaved head or whatever the heck it is if you pierce nose piercings and crap like that. That, oh yeah, that, that, that's probably not really a girl as much as they try to glitter him up.

Yeah, which I mean you and I were talking about this dude, like mental illness, we want to call it that it's just like where are the places that can actually help these people? There's just not.

Right.

You just don't see them anymore. Right.

Yeah, state mental institutions are closing down. And I think the, the deep rooted evil that, that's, you know, the, the deep state what, whatever it is. But this is all part of the enemy's plan. We, we close these institutions down, we somewhat normalize mental issues where everybody has a mental issue and you could just claim to have a mental issue and don't seek treatment for it. Just tell everybody that you get triggered when people talk too loud or people applause or something like that. Well, no, let's keep mental institutions open. I, I, I believe there, there's a, a demonic seed attached to it 100%. I, I've seen and heard testimonies of people who had mental issues and they overcame them simply through Jesus Christ. Now if there's a true chemical imbalance and it requires medication, then by all means, if that's a legit thing, but let's first seek our healing in Jesus Christ. But you notice mental institutions are closing down, but more people are claiming they have mental issues, anxieties, all these sorts of things. And it's just, okay, well you express yourself, you just call yourself Jim when you're really Jen and tell everybody they have to accept you for who you are because that's your truth. It's like, well that's not healthy for them in the long run.

It is not. It's not healthy for anybody. I blame parents. You know, we didn't see this crap 50 years ago, man. Even, even 30, 20 years ago, it wasn't like it is now. And I think it's, you know, we've. Parents have become friends of their. Their kiddos too much and want to, you know, make them feel good. And at the end of the day, we got to raise our. Our kids right and know that, hey, it's. There's. There is right and there is wrong. And if Ellie comes to me and says she feels like being Earl, I'm gonna tell her that's wrong. Right? Like, that's not. That's not how God made you. And, and I think we just need more of that. And again, this is where the weak church just. We get overran. And if you're not willing to actually step up and actually fight for truth and what. What is actually right?

Sub.

Yeah, I actually saw it. You know, my four older kids, Isaiah just turned 28. Can you believe that? Freaking.

Wow, dude, you're so old.

Yeah.

By the way, for everybody that knows Christian's a grandpa, like, grandpa Christian.

Yeah.

How many, how many grandbabies you got now, man?

Got five with a six coming in a couple months. So. Yes.

You're so old, dude. You are so old.

Yes. For those who don't know, my beautiful wife Lucy had a baby at 15. That's our son Isaiah. Then she got married very young, had three, three more kids. It was a terrible, abusive relationship. She got divorced and I met her and she led me to Jesus. God called me to be her husband and the father of those kids. And that's what I am. And now I'm blessed to be a grandpa or pop Pop is what they call me. Grandpa sounds old. But I saw when Isaiah, our oldest and our second oldest, puka, going through high school. When Isaiah was in high school, it was kind of more like when we went to high school. But even two years beneath him in class, I saw my daughter's class where all of a sudden the. The kids, the. The boys that were dressing more feminine, you know, starting to toss talk with a little. Little rasp. They were becoming popular. And then my son Duke came through and all of a sudden, like, people want to be gay. And then my youngest daughter, Mooch, she goes through high school. And it's a common thing now, people cross dressing and everything. So just in that the span of my kids going through high school is where that whole transition Just happened. And not just in schools, but in society. And it's just wild that it happened that quickly.

Yeah, it really is. It really is. Man. I want to get through some more, more, more topics here, though. Riley Gaines posted or I don't even know she, if she posted it, who posted it.

But yeah, she posted it on her tik tok and then Elon Musk reposted it on X. And yeah, it's remarkable. So she's the swimmer, of course, who is a political activist now because she doesn't think men should be swimming with women. And you know, she was a top collegiate swimmer and she was the first to say, like, I'm ranked higher than my, well, I guess boyfriend at the time, this guy that she, she married, he's a swimmer from England. But like, yeah, if he races against me, he's going to destroy me. He's a man. We're two different genders and he. Riley's a little frustrated because her husband is having a hard time becoming a U. S. Citizen even though they got married two and a half years ago. Let it play, Royce.

My husband moved to the United States from Europe six years ago for college. He came here legally. We were both swimmers at the University of Kentucky. We got married at the end of my senior year in 2022, meaning we've been married for over two and a half years now. Maybe you think he's well on his way to becoming a US Citizen and you would be wrong. After two and a half years of marriage, he still doesn't even have his green card. If you haven't dealt with this process, I envy you. It requires so much in terms of application process, immigration lawyers fees that you have to pay. Months and months and months went by before we heard from USCIS or immigration services until finally we got this letter in the mail. I'm not going to include the whole letter because it contains personal information, but we got a request for evidence. The evidence that immigration was looking for was a completed vaccination record. And what vaccination did my husband not have? The COVID vaccination. Yes, you heard that right. In the year 2024, you have to have the under researched ineffective COVID vaccine to enter into this country legally. Notice I said legally because our government does not require illegal immigrants to have the COVID vaccine. Like really think about that. Think about how hard our government has made it for people migrating into this country legally in comparison with those who break the law. Because if you just walk across the southern border, you're given housing, you're given a driver's license, you're given money. And our government has never been able to answer basic questions about COVID and the vaccine. Like if the mask work, why do we have to social distance? And if the six foot distance works, then.

I read this. I mean I believe most all of our listeners are on the same page here. Of all the vaccines, it's the COVID vaccine for her. And obviously you know that she's, she's for sure like on, on the blacklist with him, as, as boisterous as, as she has been, just against all the transgender junk. But I read this article. Simone, Simone. That wasn't even article. I think she just posted it. Simone Gold. Dr. Simone Gold, you guys probably have heard of her. And I haven't like fact checked this at all, but I'm assuming it's accurate. 1.7 million kiddos in this study and there were, it was vaccinated and unvaccinated. 1.7 million kids that were vaccinated had signs of myocarditis and pericarditis. The unvaccinated kiddos in this study. 00 of them. And that's, that's scary because I know some parents maybe felt pressured and actually did it, which is very unfortunate. And that's where I would say, I mean there's, there's things that you can do. You know, we know Dr. Peter McCullough and, and he has, you know, a regimen to get rid of the spike protein that, that you know, takes place for those that actually had, had received the jab. And there are things out there that you can actually do about this. But isn't it still just wild that they're still forcing this thing when there's so much evidence on the harm that this did? Not just the, not not just like the mental harm, but the physical harm that they are causing people nowadays. I know I mentioned this last week. I, I was in a town of like a thousand people and one woman, one woman had six friends that all had the first Pfizer jab and all six of them had developed cancer within 30 days of each other. Which is completely. That's, that's beyond coincidence.

Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we got RFK now who's been outspoken about vaccinations for some time as Secretary of Health and Human Services. And I just saw even Cory Booker, he wasn't, you know, co signing rfk, but he was in agreement with the, the health of this nation and in particular when it came to food, foods and things like that. So yeah, I Think even on the left, I mean, you gotta wake up at some point once you have a family member die or, or experience a great health scare because something like this, it's time to wake up and stop preaching this, this bull crap just so these drug companies can make money. I, I also recently saw a clip of Jim Carrey and Jenny mccarthy from years ago when they spoke out against vaccinations. And everything they're saying can be more true today. It's just, I mean, they, anybody who spoke up about it years ago, even before now, you know, once like Covid hit doctor Peter McCullough got blacklisted from a lot of places because he a world renowned cardiologist and he's saying, no, you should probably think twice about getting this. So it's just now that, I mean, we might get pulled down from YouTube. I don't know. Thank God. Not Rumble. But people, people need to hear this stuff. It's not taboo. We could talk about this stuff and let's, let's look at what the facts are.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. And then she mentioned, you know, you can come in illegally and do what you want. Heck, you even get paid to come in and do that thing. But not for long. But you better believe that they are crossing the border as quickly as possible. And it's unfortunate, you know, Biden's just allowing this happen or, you know, who knows what Biden's doing nowadays. Probably eating ice cream right now. But the forces, the powers that be are just allowing this to, to happen and, and really just usher in chaos for, for Trump when he does that truly take office in, in January.

Yeah, well, he just announced this new app, Free Legals, to make it so they don't have to like check in in person. Let's make it easier for the legals.

Like I certainly couldn't do that to vote like appropriately, you know, but they want to make this as easy as possible.

Right?

Do we have video on this?

There's video.

This, Nothing.

Yeah, not worth it now, Now. But yeah, man. Bro. This hour we go live. This hour flies by.

It's wild. It's wild. Well, thankfully we have long winded people like Grant that'll talk. So.

Don'T talk about Grant like that.

I mentioned I want to end it with some funny, funny stuff here. I mentioned Jesse Lee Peterson. I don't know if that was the, the week before or last week, but if you guys don't know who this character is, give him a follow because you will get a good laugh. A self professed pastor I believe self professed because I. I don't think there's any way he leads a church, but he is a hilarious dude. I haven't watched any of these videos yet, man. So what do you got for us?

I'm sure you've seen these videos because of videos we send back and forth to one another. A lot of them are him, Jesse Lee Peterson. So we could get a good laugh. So, yeah, we got a couple here. I don't know the order, but let it rip.

Royce, right?

Yeah.

Oh, so your real name is Steven?

Yeah.

But online you pretend to be a woman?

No, I just have a feminine name, I guess.

Yeah, that's a girl name. And what made you become a liberal?

I got a little older, a little smarter.

And you were tired of being a man?

I was tired of being an idiot. But I think there are plenty of men that are liberal, not real men. You really think so?

Men who are liberals obeyed us. Who are you closest to? Your mother or your father?

Say it was about 50. 50 on both.

So you're 50% daddy and 50% mama?

Exactly. Right down the middle.

So are you half man, half woman?

I don't think that's how male or female works.

How does it work?

Not like that.

A man is a male who turned to man. He grew out of malehood and became a man. And he is a man that loves God with all his heart, soul, and might along with nothing else. He treat all people the same because he has no anger. He love us. Right. He leads people in the right way to go. President Trump, and I'm sure you would agree. Would you agree that President Trump is a real man?

I'm not sure what you mean by man. I heard you describe a bunch of things that have nothing to do with men.

It's his nature. He has an obligation of being right.

I mean, I think men and women can be correct or incorrect about things. I don't think any of those things.

Do duty is to. To be right.

If he is, he's doing a pretty bad job.

Show that I. I don't know why people still go on the show. I. I don't understand. But. But show this next clip, bro.

I got it. I got an invite to be on his show a few months ago that I was like, no, thank you. I'm not going on that thing.

I don't know if he actually does shows with, like, Christian conservatives, because if he does, those aren't the clips that we see.

Well, I hope he wasn't inviting me on because he thought I Wasn't.

Right. Let's do it. Let's show this one.

Today I have with me Aaron Morse. He's a graduate of mit, where he studies aerospace engineering, currently a student at USC Law School. That's right down the road from us. Aaron is a social justice warrior pro Black Lives Matter, pro affirmative action, pro lgbtq, pro choice, and anti Trump. And he also called himself a Christian. You know, he's messed up. You are beta all the way.

Oh, that's.

Is that true about you? I mean, I don't know what that term means, what that sounds.

What is.

What do you mean by beta?

We.

I'm stronger than you.

Not if you're a Beta.

So good.

I love that. That guy was like. He was just beaming with pride as Jesse was reading all these things. And then he's like. And Christian. Oh, you know, he's messed up. And then this last clip that we have is Jesse with this gay pastor. And I think next week we're going to spend some time with this. We are going to have a show next week live still on Black Friday Friday. Hopefully you guys are all nice and full from your Thanksgivings. But we're going to get into this a bit because Grant just mentioned it. He said a big problem in this nation are the pastors. Right. Not only being weak, but, I mean, to call yourself a gay pastor is just heretical. To call yourself a gay Christian. Right. You may struggle with tendencies, but you can't accept and abide in what God rejects. Right. So show this one and this one, I think might be my favorite.

No children or anything?

No.

Do you regret not getting married, Having children now that you're older?

Well. And I'm gay.

You're gay?

Yes.

You all look gay.

We come in all shapes and sizes, brother.

So you.

Okay, I'm gay.

I didn't know you were gay.

Yeah, well, I just told you.

How did you become gay?

One doesn't become gay. One is born that way.

Does God know you're gay?

I believe so.

Did he make you that way?

I.

That's my opinion.

You think that God made you gay?

I have.

No.

You know, I don't.

I don't know the.

I'm not going to be presumed to.

Plumb the depths of the.

Of the most high, but, yes, I've been gay as long as I can remember.

Remember?

And so have you been with men?

Of course.

Like, sexually?

Yeah. Really?

This is mind blowing.

Really?

Yeah.

That.

Because I never expected a priest and a Father of Epiphany church to be gay.

That you're, you know, like, you're coming from the assumption what, what's look gay mean?

You know, switching and soft looking.

Really? That's what you call stereotyping?

That's good, Royce. That's good.

Yeah.

Again, I don't know why people go on to a show like they think they're going to be the one to, like, stand up to Jesse. Everybody leaves that show looking like a fool. And he's had people storm off the show before.

He has, yeah.

Yeah. I love him. It's a. He's good for a laugh.

Yeah. It really makes me question why I got the invite to be on Brother.

Oh, man, we should invite him on this show. We should have him on here.

We keep playing some clips of him, maybe he'll come on for us. But, yeah, that I, I just, I hate that cop out of because I really think it is that, you know, God made me this way. That's like saying, you know, God made me to, you know, want to sleep with every woman out there. Right? Like, we, we're called to have self control, to have discipline in our lives. And all of us have tendencies one way or the other, whether it's anger to fly off the handle to, you know, do stupid things all the time. And it just comes back to, okay, well, do I believe the Bible to be true? And if so, which. There's incredible evidence on why the Bible is, is true and incredible evidence on why Jesus rose from, you know, how. Not why, but how he rose from the tomb. 500 eyewitnesses, incredible evidence that we do have a, a creator, that God actually did create everything into existence. And a lot of it just boils down to truth. Like, do we, do we really want to invite that truth into our lives? And I think most people just don't want to because it's hard. And, and that's, that's the reality. As, if you're going to walk this life as a, as a follower of Jesus, buckle up. It's gonna be hard, but it is the life that we are called to do.

Yeah, I'm glad you said that because looking back now, I, I have an addictive personality. And I can say, yes, God made me addictive. Right? I, I was an addict, a drug addict for 14 years of my life. I just sit back and say, well, God made me an addict. I just gotta live with this. No, that I, I could find deliverance, I could find freedom. I could be saved through Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. So. Because even as a kid, like, if I had married macaroni and cheese one night. I'd want it the next 14 days. Like there's early signs of my addictive personality. I, I think that's why I was a good athlete because when I like to play sports, I would, I would go outside and shoot the ball for four hours, you know, so every gift that you have could also be a curse. But you can't just sit back and say, well, God made me this way. Yeah, God, God, God made you and created you. But you were born into a fallen world. And it's not until we place our faith in Jesus Christ and we become born again by the spirit, we become a new creation. And there's plenty of testimonies of people who've been delivered from everything under the sun, including homosexuality. Like not, not just like they still have those desires like completely set free from it.

Yes, absolutely. And it is only through Jesus Christ, the blood of the cross, that, that we are, are able to do that. It's, it's not even the, the self will, the self drive because that's a fleeting thing and it is when we decrease, he increases in our life. And that's something that we, you know, one day, whether we, you know, believe it or not right now, one day we will know that, that truth and that reality. And so we should do an episode in the upcoming weeks, brother, just on the evidence of Christ, the evidence of creation. Because I've just been diving into that a lot because you know, scripture tells us that we are to be able to give a reason for the faith that we have. And I realized that, you know, I, I, I believe some of us are so convinced and we believe that there's no kind of like, you know, the blue haired, pink haired people are so convinced that their truth is, is reality. But there's a reason why we believe. This isn't just some, you know, there's some phantom fairy tale of, of hoping that there's heaven and hell. Like, like no, there is a reason why we have a faith and evidence supports it like beyond belief. But the, the problem is a lot of believers, a lot of Christians don't even go into the detailer or figuring finding it out. Maybe they have an experience which is incredible, but we actually have evidence that backs up our faith. Faith isn't supposed to be blind faith. Like there is a true evidence. And I believe that's why when Christ did rise from the dead, that he showed himself to those and, and then that was just a, an effect of ultimately what, what we have here, here now is there's still the evidence but we have to look back to to scripture.

So.

Yeah. Amen.

What is this upcoming weeks brother.

Yeah, that'll be fun. I saw a CFAM 54 puppy said I have an addiction personality as well. That's why I don't drink or do drugs anymore. More Jesus saved me. Praise God and share that. Share the testimony of Jesus saving you. Share that testimony. It's so important for us to share testimonies and one of the most powerful testimonies I ever heard is from our friend Gerard White who we're gonna have him on the show here in a couple weeks but he's the owner and founder of standupnowapparel.com and we plugged it at the beginning of the show. We're going to plug it again now. Go to stand up apparel apparel now.com standupnow apparel.com Excuse me. Put in promo code King and for our listeners only you get 30 off. Christmas is coming. Get a shirt for yourself. Get as a gift. It's good quality stuff in the first 10. The first fruits go to wounded veterans. So it's a good cause. We're gonna have Gerard. Once you hear Gerard's story, you're going to want to support him even more. Amazing testimony and any testimony that you hear when you hear my testimony, Riley's testimony, Gerard's anybody's it it's not the focus isn't on that person. We're. We're just the the witness. We're just the recipient. We're just the vessel that experience God's grace and mercy. And we're telling a story to point people back towards Jesus. So share your testimony. Don't be afraid to to share. You may not know scripture. You may be afraid to talk to God about people because you don't know the the Bible front to back. That's okay. If Jesus Christ has done anything in your life, share that that's impactful to people. People will will not just hear the words you're saying, but they will feel the Holy Spirit that's inside of you.

Amen. Amen. Amen. That being said man, who you got this coming Thursday?

Well.

It'S funny my I try to become a Cowboys fan coming down here because I'm a Jets fan and they are are abysmal. They. An article just came out that the the owner Woody Johnson has been just running everything deciding who to trade for veto and trades everything and they fired the head coach, they fired the gm. So I tried to become a Cowboys fan but it's so hard because they're as dysfunctional as the jets, it seems like. So jets and Cow. Jets. I'm sorry, Cowboys and Giants on Thanksgiving Day next week. I'm going with the Giants because they have decided to bench Daniel Jones and they're going with our boy, Tommy DeVito, a Jersey boy, an Italian kid, and he got three wins for them last year. So they may, they may be doing the wrong thing. They don't want to get wins, but they're going to put him in the game on Thanksgiving Day next Thursday. So at least I'll have a little bit of rooting interest there.

Yes, Tommy DeVito, I remember him last year for a couple of games. That's great, dude. And for those that don't know, I'm a Packers fan. So I'm excited for Thursday. It's going to be. Going to be a good day, eating food and pigging out and watching some football prep for our show next Friday. So I was going to ask you before we started this, are we doing a show next week? So I'm glad you told everybody we are.

Yeah, I assume so. I mean, it's Black Friday. Everybody else is off, but we're not. Yeah.

Yeah.

We're home.

We're home. So we might as well.

Yeah.

I love it. Well, that being said, man, it's been a pleasure. And for all of you listening, watching here again, we love you guys. Have an incredible weekend. Have an incredible Thanksgiving time with your family and take some. I mean, there's plenty of videos online. There's plenty of. Of sermons that you could look up to actually have evidence. Right. Frank Turek is an incredible resource to know what is the evidence? Why do I even believe the things that I actually believe? And I think if more and more believers actually did that and were willing to speak on it, especially at these fun family functions coming up, those could be seeds. And I think one of the coolest things that I heard in one of these videos that I was watching the last couple weeks was evangelism isn't. Most people treat it like a tennis match where you're, like, debating people back and forth. And that's not evangelism. Evangelism is more of like a game of baseball and you're just getting base hits because the seed that you plant, somebody else will also plant. And somebody will weed the garden and some water. There we go. Thank you. And somebody will actually be there for harvest season. But just get on base with people, and that's a reflection of who you are. Faith without works is dead. I saw somebody put that in the chat earlier. And that's reality. Like, we should be living out our faith, living this thing out with. With love and with truth. The truth part is what I think gets. Gets pushed over a lot because truth hurts sometimes. And we have to be the ones that are going to stand up and not back down, be willing to hurt feelings sometimes. Because at the end of the day, I remember a Penn and Teller video where I don't remember which one, but he was just like, he couldn't. His struggle with Christianity is that if people truly believed it, if they believed that your friend, your family member, was going to be spending eternity in hell, if they really believed that, why in the world wouldn't they do everything possible to get them to understand this truth? Why in the world? And I think that that was for me, a huge gut shot of like, man, I do have friends, I have family, I have loved ones that, that, that just don't know truth yet. And what am I doing? What am I doing? As. As I have multiple opportunities to explain this, to just plant a seed. It doesn't have to be a home run, right? Just plant the seed and get them on base so they then can take that next step in their own life. Then the decision's up to them, right? It isn't up to us. It's up to them and God. But if our prayer, if we're willing to intercede and stand in the gap, that. That God would continually soften their heart and draw them to him, that ultimately that veil will be pulled off and they would actually see and understand that truth. So take that seriously this coming week going into Thanksgiving.

Yeah, that's a good word. Especially since so many people are going to be around family members who aren't saved, you know, didn't vote for Trump. There's probably going to be some heated discussions at the table this year. So remember that the goal is to win their soul over to salvation. The best way to do that is with love. But still that truth, man, you hit the nail on the head speaking truth. But you gotta love them. Because when you were unlovable, Jesus still was thinking of you when he died on the cross. And Jesus died for all of us when we were the most unlovable things Earth has ever seen. That's God's grace. That's his mercy on us. And remember that you are a vessel that God's going to now use to get another into the kingdom.

Yes. Amen. Amen. We'll see y' all on next week's. Show.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
