  How do you like that?
• 1:04
  How would you like to be speaking to a few million people about your thoughts and suggestions regarding the events that are happening around the world that are affecting not only you as an individual American citizen, but our country as a whole?
• 1:18
  Again, thank you for joining me.
• 1:20
  Well, today is another day that we're watching our American military forces do a superb job in fighting an evil empire that should have been taken off the face of the earth years ago.
• 1:31
  No doubt about it, folks.
• 1:33
  We have been fighting this war for 47 years.
• 1:36
  You know, I've got news for you.
• 1:38
  Uh, all of these people who are blaming President Trump for starting a war, my goodness, they just can't get any lower than that when it comes to an incident a situation where we have uh young men and women in the United States military fighting a war, and all they can do, they meaning a lot of these politicians, these elected officials, congressmen and senators, uh, all of these uh naysayers have nothing better to do but attempt to point fingers at those individuals who they believe are at fault for this war between the United States uh with Israel against Iran.
• 2:18
  Now, why can't they just wake up one morning and point their fingers at Iran?
• 2:23
  47 years we have been in combat with Iraq.
• 2:28
  I'm sorry, well, we did Iraq some time ago, but Iran.
• 2:31
  You see what happens?
• 2:32
  We get so involved with a lot of these uh situations around the world, as we should at the times that these occurred.
• 2:39
  Uh, we kind of run into situations where we don't know what countries next that's going to rise up and attempt to strike at the people who live in free countries, and particularly in many cases now, Israel and the United States of America.
• 2:54
  But I've got to tell you, folks, actions speak louder than words.
• 2:58
  Keep that in mind as I would as I continue sharing some uh things with you uh during this broadcast.
• 3:05
  Actions speak louder than words.
• 3:08
  Now, look, we all know, at least those of us who've been around a long time know that Iran has been a thorn in the sight of every nation on the face of the earth.
• 3:19
  And unfortunately, up until now, not one leader, at least that I can think of, has taken any action to silence the chance, debt to America and death to Israel.
• 3:31
  Could you think of any nation other than the United States of America, who's now taking the lead in trying to destroy a very, very evil empire?
• 3:42
  And other than Israel, by the way, Israel has done everything they can and has been restrained by the United States over the years not to take the kind of action we're taking now.
• 3:52
  But the fact of the matter is that uh everything that has been attempted to bring Iran to their knees in the past has not worked.
• 4:02
  Now, when most Americans saw the first bombs drop on Iran uh over the past uh few uh weeks.
• 4:09
  I'll tell you what, I am sure that their first thoughts were it's about time.
• 4:15
  At least that was mine.
• 4:16
  I repeat it over and over again as every bomb dropped.
• 4:19
  Boy, it's about time.
• 4:21
  And I'm sure that the Israeli citizens echoed the same thoughts.
• 4:25
  It's about time.
• 4:28
  Now, additionally, I'll add this to my uh uh discussion.
• 4:32
  I believe that the Gulf states in the Middle East felt the same way.
• 4:37
  Now, although some of the leaders in the Middle East, who historically sided with Iran, they grew tired of them, that is, tired of the Iranian government, and they decided to distance themselves from that country some time ago.
• 4:50
  Little by little, Saudi Arabia, little by little, Kuwait, little by little, the United Arab Emirates, and on and on and on.
• 4:58
  They have been distanced themselves from Iran because they know what we know, except they don't publicize what they know.
• 5:05
  They publicize what they believe the people want to hear.
• 5:09
  What the people want to hear is that these Arab states are siding with uh Iran.
• 5:15
  But the fact of the matter is that they're not siding with Iran.
• 5:18
  They haven't for quite some time.
• 5:21
  At least privately, they haven't sided with Iran.
• 5:24
  Publicly, in some cases, maybe they feel they had no choice.
• 5:29
  Now, what changed?
• 5:30
  What changed to a point when a lot of these uh Gulf states decided to kind of stay in the background, uh, stay out of the fights between Iran and every other country on earth.
• 5:40
  What changed now that they're coming out publicly?
• 5:44
  Well, here's what changed.
• 5:45
  First of all, the attacks against Jordan, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia and other nations in the Gulf states, including, by the way, think about this one, Cyprus.
• 5:59
  Now, isn't that an interesting uh situation?
• 6:02
  Attacks against them, not by Israel, not by the United States, but by their so-called friend Iran.
• 6:10
  Get a load of that, folks.
• 6:12
  Kind of a surprise to all of us, Iran decides to unleash their missiles against people who are purported to be their friends, or at the very least, uh, staying neutral, not getting involved in this war.
• 6:27
  It's changed, folks.
• 6:28
  It's changed.
• 6:29
  Iran really put itself in a real situation situation, a real bad situation.
• 6:33
  And my guess is Iran believe that their attacks on these nations would force them, that is these nations being attacked to put extreme pressure on the United States of America to cease their military attacks on Iran.
• 6:49
  Their assessment, that is the assessment of the Iranian government backfired very, very badly.
• 6:56
  I mean, really badly.
• 6:57
  Look at what is happening.
• 6:59
  I mean, day in and day out.
• 7:01
  The bombs are falling 24 hours a day, seven days a week on those uh military installations, the political infrastructure, businesses, industries, nuclear sites, the bombs are flying at a B-2s, B-52s, F-22s, you name it, uh, all of the air assets known to mankind.
• 7:20
  The missiles are coming from the U.S.
• 7:21
  naval fleets.
• 7:22
  It's coming.
• 7:23
  It's coming every day.
• 7:24
  And every day we hear from the State Department and from the president of the United States, you ain't seen nothing yet.
• 7:31
  The Iranian government has an opportunity.
• 7:33
  Their military has an opportunity.
• 7:35
  Surrender, lay down your arms, give up.
• 7:38
  In fact, immunity was offered by the president of the United States to the military officers of the Iranian army, Navy, of all of the military forces of the Iranian government.
• 7:50
  Give up, you'll get immunity.
• 7:51
  Don't give up, you'll die.
• 7:53
  That was the message sent to the Iranian government.
• 7:56
  With regard to the people, we're assuring them that we're with them, we're behind them, we're by their sides, and we're gonna fight, we're gonna fight, and we're gonna fight and make sure that we ain't going nowhere, nowhere at all until we see unconditional victory against the Iranian government, those who are leaders of an evil empire.
• 8:19
  Now, the Gulf states, they're now united.
• 8:22
  They're now united with us and against Iran.
• 8:28
  It's as simple as that.
• 8:29
  They are now willing to come forward.
• 8:31
  And in some cases, I heard in fact I've read that uh Saudi Arabia is now offering the use of their armed forces against Iran.
• 8:40
  Now, isn't that an incredible turnaround?
• 8:43
  So you get Iran for shooting missiles against uh people who kind of stood by your side over and over and over again, and this is what you do to your friends.
• 8:53
  Imagine, folks, what they want to really do to us, their enemies.
• 8:56
  Well, we don't have to imagine.
• 8:58
  The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio and others have repeatedly said if Iran ever, ever got their hands on a nuclear weapon, you could be sure that one of those nuclear warheads would be heading our way.
• 9:11
  Uh obviously, without a doubt, it would be headed towards Israel, but we can now add us to their hit list.
• 9:17
  So many people have asked me about the status of the European nations with regard to the United States launching this attack on Iran.
• 9:26
  Ah, now we're talking about Europe again.
• 9:29
  We're talking about some of the NATO nations.
• 9:32
  What do you think of that?
• 9:33
  Been kind of quiet out there in Europe, hasn't it?
• 9:36
  You want to know why, folks?
• 9:37
  I want to know why.
• 9:38
  I can think about why.
• 9:40
  They're afraid, they're scared to death.
• 9:43
  They simply are scared.
• 9:44
  They had to be ashamed of themselves.
• 9:46
  President Macron over there, France, the UK prime minister, shame on them.
• 9:51
  Absolutely shame on them.
• 9:53
  They've come out with all kinds of statements, wiggling and worming around, stating, well, you know, we're not uh we're not.
• 10:00
  Involved in this particular war.
• 10:01
  We we have nothing to do with that.
• 10:03
  But we must say that we are a little upset, a little concerned over what Iran's doing.
• 10:08
  We want to see peace.
• 10:10
  We want to see security.
• 10:11
  We want to see everybody just wake up one day and be buddies.
• 10:15
  I mean, that is as much power and strength that we're getting out of some of the European nations that we could expect.
• 10:22
  But let's talk about, let's talk about the United Kingdom and France.
• 10:27
  Let's talk about, in fact, let's do it this way, folks.
• 10:30
  Let's send the message to them, because I've sent a message to them.
• 10:34
  And I've wanted to help them in my message to them to remember that American blood has been spilled on their real estate state.
• 10:44
  You hear me, France?
• 10:46
  You hear me, United Kingdom?
• 10:47
  You hear me, all of those uh nations in Europe, American blood has been spilled by the gallons on your real estate through the course of history, especially during World War II to stop the Nazis from slaughtering you.
• 11:02
  But I suppose that really doesn't count anymore, right?
• 11:05
  I mean, that's the way I feel.
• 11:06
  It just doesn't count anymore.
• 11:08
  Why doesn't it count?
• 11:10
  Well, why not just stand up and admit you're afraid?
• 11:13
  You're scared to death of what might happen to your countries.
• 11:17
  Well, if your countries decided to spend the amount of money on your defense as we have spent the amount of money, not only on our defense, but your defense.
• 11:26
  Well, guess what?
• 11:27
  You you'd be able to stand up and you'd be able to just let your enemies know, like we're letting them know, we're not going to take it anymore.
• 11:36
  But let's see how the European nations feel.
• 11:39
  Because there is a European Union.
• 11:41
  So all of these guys in Europe are now most of them are involved with the European Union.
• 11:46
  And so uh the European Union, uh, they came out with a public statement.
• 11:50
  And uh, I'm gonna read the statement to you.
• 11:52
  We'll kind of talk a little bit about it, we'll pick it apart and let's see where we could go, what we could conclude.
• 11:57
  So the European Union, they followed developments in Iran and the Middle East with utmost concern.
• 12:03
  This is what they tell us.
• 12:04
  The European Union has adopted extensive sanctions in response to the actions of Iranian authorities, whether they're brutal repression and human rights violations against the Iranian people or threats to the region and to the European and international security.
• 12:21
  Though Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear programmers and its support for armed groups in the Middle East.
• 12:28
  So this is now the European making this very long statement, trying to justify basically why they say they like to be involved but are not really involved.
• 12:37
  Let's continue.
• 12:38
  We, the European Union, will continue to protect EU security and interest, including through additional sanctions.
• 12:48
  The European Union has consistently urged Iran to end Iran's nuclear program, curb its ballistic missiles program, refrain from destabilizing activities in the region and in Europe, and to cease the appalling violence and repression against its own people.
• 13:05
  Now, let me just pause for a minute and respond to this part of their incredible, incredible statement.
• 13:13
  The EU, the EU, that's a European Union, they're offering nothing, nothing at all to help us in the war.
• 13:21
  What they're trying to do is save face by letting us know that the action they're going to take is simply continued sanctions on Iran.
• 13:31
  Big deal.
• 13:32
  Big deal, right?
• 13:34
  Sanctions.
• 13:35
  Sanctions don't work.
• 13:36
  The only thing sanctions do is hurt the little guy, the hard working people.
• 13:41
  You see the people you see protesting in the streets of Iran, the freedom fighters who are being gunned down by their own military, shot to death, beaten, tortured, some of them captured and hung and executed in front of their families.
• 13:55
  These are the people that get hurt by sanctions.
• 13:58
  These are the people that need a very strong armed force to come in and to do what must be done, and that is the total annihilation of the military and political infrastructure of the nation of Iran, of that evil empire.
• 14:16
  But here you got the European Union.
• 14:19
  Uh that's I mean, um, I'm just appalled, folks.
• 14:22
  I am appalled as I continue to read their statement.
• 14:25
  So let's move on.
• 14:27
  We call for maximum restraint, says the European Union, protection of civilians, and full respect of international law, including the principles of the United Nations Charter and international humanitarian humanitarian law.
• 14:41
  I gotta stop here.
• 14:43
  I gotta stop here for a moment.
• 14:45
  It seems like the European Union is calling upon Israel and the United States.
• 14:50
  That's that's the backdoor way of telling us, folks, believe me.
• 14:54
  Telling us and and Israel to restrain from our actions.
• 15:00
  And a little bit, a little bit they put on there.
• 15:03
  Well, maybe Iran, you could restrain some of your actions also.
• 15:07
  Now, regarding the United Nations, well, you know how I feel about the UN.
• 15:11
  What a waste.
• 15:12
  You wait, you hate to waste your breath on them, let away, let alone uh waste your time on them.
• 15:19
  Look at the United Nations says nothing, does nothing, cares little about nothing.
• 15:24
  In my view, the most corrupt, corrupt international organization on the face of the earth and in the history of mankind.
• 15:31
  I mean, really corrupt.
• 15:32
  And you know what?
• 15:34
  It's time.
• 15:34
  It's time to remove them from the soil from the real estate from the country called the United States of America and the city of New York.
• 15:44
  They've got to go.
• 15:46
  So when this war ends, when we win this war and things settle down, what we have to do is get to our elected officials and say it's time.
• 15:55
  It's time to give the United Nations their walking papers.
• 16:00
  Show them the door.
• 16:02
  Go to Beijing, go to Moscow, go where go to Tehran, go there.
• 16:07
  It'll be the safest place on earth when we get through with them.
• 16:10
  But the fact of the matter is that the European Union actually is telling us we need to abide by the laws and the rules and the regulations and the hopes and dreams of the United Nations.
• 16:22
  Wow.
• 16:22
  Absolutely incredible.
• 16:24
  They go on to continue, that is the European Union, that the Middle East stands to lose greatly from any drawn-out war.
• 16:32
  Iran's attacks and violation of sovereignty of a number of countries in the region are inexcusable.
• 16:38
  Iran must refrain from indiscriminate military strikes.
• 16:42
  We express our solidarity with partners in that region that have been attacked or affected.
• 16:47
  We reiterate our commitment to regional stability and to the protection of civilian life.
• 16:53
  Nice paragraph.
• 16:54
  Yeah, that's a pretty nice statement, I'll admit, but that's as far as it goes.
• 16:58
  It's pretty nice statement.
• 17:00
  As I said, actions speak louder than words.
• 17:04
  Do you see any commitment at all of let alone military help but diplomatic help?
• 17:11
  They want everybody to do all of the work and they want to stay out of it.
• 17:16
  J just want to let us know that they're watching, that they are in solidarity with anybody who's looking for peace and prosperity and stability in the region.
• 17:25
  And that's as far as it goes with the European Union.
• 17:29
  And it continues.
• 17:30
  Oh, this appalling, appalling statement continues.
• 17:34
  We, again, the European Union remain in close contact with partners in the region to contribute.
• 17:40
  Listen to this, folks.
• 17:41
  This will give you a laugh, to contribute to de-escalation and reaffirm their steadfast commitment of the European Union and its member states to safeguarding regional security and stability.
• 17:53
  What planet did the European Union live on?
• 17:56
  They're talking about contributing to de-escalation.
• 17:59
  This war's been escalating not every day, but every minute of the day.
• 18:03
  What in the world are they talking about?
• 18:05
  The European Union will continue to contribute to all diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and to bring about a lasting solution to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
• 18:16
  Well, at this point, at least they're getting a little bit more smarter, because when Iran, I shouldn't say one now, if they ever acquired a nuclear weapon, uh, by their actions against uh other foreign countries, including some of their friends, by the way.
• 18:31
  I'm sure the European Union is scratching their head saying, wow, if if they bombed, if they sent missiles to Kuwait, to Jordan, if they sort of bombing friends like that, they may use a nuclear weapon on us.
• 18:43
  We better get in there, put in that statement that, oh, we're gonna help prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
• 18:50
  Well, European Union, here's your chance.
• 18:52
  Where are you?
• 18:52
  Where's the Europe?
• 18:54
  Where's that big European Union army that Macron over there in France was talking about?
• 18:58
  I mean, you guys were talking about putting a million man army together.
• 19:02
  That would help.
• 19:03
  Oh, yeah, that would help.
• 19:04
  But I don't see any of uh European Union countries with uh uniforms on, military uniforms on, coming over the hill helping Israel and the United States of America.
• 19:14
  I don't see that happening.
• 19:16
  Ironically, we may see some Arab states coming to help us.
• 19:19
  Get a load of that, huh?
• 19:21
  You talk about uh uh the unexpected, but good.
• 19:24
  I'm glad they've been wanting to do this for a long time.
• 19:26
  They just needed a strong leader, Donald Trump, and a strong country, America, to lead the charge.
• 19:33
  Isn't it always that way?
• 19:34
  You notice that when every war starts and we get involved, that we're the ones that always have to lead the charge.
• 19:41
  And by the way, speaking about starting wars, as I said over and over again, uh, don't be led to believe the mainstream media and all of those naysayers saying that this war was started by Donald Trump.
• 19:54
  Absolutely not.
• 19:55
  I said it before, I'll repeat it, I'll repeat it again and again.
• 19:59
  The war was started.
• 20:00
  47 years ago by Iran.
• 20:02
  And I have gone through the list over and over and over again of their atrocities against the human race, let alone their own citizens and other citizens around the world.
• 20:12
  So the European Union, uh, they go on again.
• 20:15
  I'll repeat this line.
• 20:16
  It's a laughable line.
• 20:17
  The European Union will continue to contribute to all diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and to bring about a lasting solution to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
• 20:28
  Self-serving folks.
• 20:30
  Full cooperation by Iran with the International Atomic Energy Agency, as well as adherence to Iran's legal obligations under nuclear non-proliferation treaty and comprehensive safeguards agreement are crucial.
• 20:44
  And nuclear safety is a critical priority.
• 20:47
  Preservation of maritime security and respect of freedom of navigation are also of utmost importance.
• 20:55
  I haven't seen any UK or any French or any European nations warships out there in the Gulf where we are.
• 21:04
  I just see U.S.
• 21:05
  Navy warships, U.S.
• 21:07
  Navy aircraft carriers, U.S.
• 21:09
  Navy destroyers, and on and on and on.
• 21:12
  Where are the United Kingdom's warships?
• 21:16
  Where's France warships?
• 21:18
  Nowhere to be seen, nowhere to be found.
• 21:20
  In fact, where are their politicians, other than from behind the microphone, uh spewing off all these appalling type statements?
• 21:26
  I mean, it's really appalling.
• 21:28
  I mean, I'm sure some of you who are listening to what I'm sharing with you are as appalled as I am.
• 21:34
  So the European Union goes on to say that the events unfolding in Iran must not lead to an escalation that could threaten the Middle East, Europe, and beyond.
• 21:44
  Where in the world have they been?
• 21:46
  Where are they?
• 21:48
  Hasn't the Middle East uh I mean, really, the entire Middle East is now engulfed in this?
• 21:54
  Didn't we just share with the world that Iran attacked some of their own friends?
• 22:01
  Missiles in their skies, landing on their land, Kuwait, Dubai, the UAE there.
• 22:07
  All right, Jordan.
• 22:09
  I mean, what in the world is going on with the European Union?
• 22:12
  They got their heads in the sand.
• 22:14
  But it but they made it a point to say they want to make sure that this escalation don't threaten, oh, don't threaten Europe and beyond.
• 22:21
  Europe again, you see, self-serving.
• 22:24
  They're now thinking about themselves because they realize that they may have a problem on their hands, not backing the United States of America and Israel in this case, because at some point in time, they may be threatened by another country.
• 22:37
  Russia, maybe Russia.
• 22:39
  They've been talking about that, maybe even China.
• 22:42
  Who knows?
• 22:43
  But I've got to tell you, I would absolutely make sure that the European countries would be brought to their knees before committing any United States forces to their aid.
• 22:55
  Let them do it on their own.
• 22:56
  Let them fight on their own.
• 22:58
  They got enough countries in there.
• 23:00
  Let them spend their own money.
• 23:02
  Because I'll tell you, this is now a global global world, if you will.
• 23:07
  What I mean is uh you have the United States way out here uh between the Atlantic and the Pacific, uh, across the pond, as the uh people of uh England say.
• 23:17
  You've got the United Kingdom, you've got France, Germany, all of them.
• 23:20
  So they they're they're in a whole other world, but now everything is so interconnected, right?
• 23:25
  Everything's interconnected.
• 23:26
  So do we need Europe anymore?
• 23:29
  You know, the president of the United States recently said as a result of Spain, not that they're in the picture.
• 23:34
  Imagine that.
• 23:35
  We will not allow, we will not allow the United States to use uh any of our military bases in Spain uh with their war against Iran.
• 23:44
  Well, that was that for President Trump.
• 23:46
  No more trading with them, pulling our troops out.
• 23:49
  Uh, your future is now in your hands.
• 23:52
  Your problem.
• 23:53
  So when somebody, some big bad country, and there will be one or another coming in, thinking about uh Spain as a possession, that's their problem, not ours.
• 24:03
  At least that's the way I feel for now.
• 24:05
  Let's see what happens down the road.
• 24:08
  So this is what they're talking about.
• 24:09
  So the events unfolding in Iran must not lead to an escalation, which already has, that could threaten the Middle East, already has Europe.
• 24:17
  They're shaking in their pants over there in Europe and beyond, with unpredictable consequences.
• 24:22
  Also in the economic sphere.
• 24:24
  There it is, money, money, money.
• 24:26
  They're not worried about bloodshed, they're worried about money.
• 24:30
  Uh, because they're talking about the disruption of critical waterways like the Straits of Hormones.
• 24:36
  Well, the uh uh European Union goes on to say that they reiterate its solidarity with the Iranian people and strongly support their fundamental aspirations for the future, where their universal human rights and fundamental freedoms are fully protected.
• 24:52
  This coming from countries, the European Union who are losing their countries as a result of all the illegal immigrants coming from all over the place, taking over their streets, taking over their neighborhoods.
• 25:03
  In fact, in the United Kingdom, it looks like they're taking over their government.
• 25:07
  Appalling, folks.
• 25:08
  I'll tell you, this is incredible.
• 25:10
  Uh, there's no mention of contributing military assets in the battle against Iran.
• 25:15
  They talk about weak diplomacy, but I'll tell you what, the only word that I really have for them to describe them, and I I don't like to use words like I'm about to use.
• 25:28
  I don't like to label people, but I'll tell you, uh the only word I can think of regarding the European leaders is cowards.
• 25:37
  Cowards, absolute cowards.
• 25:40
  And I strongly, strongly want to send that message to them, because I've had enough.
• 25:45
  As an American citizen, as a retired member of the United States military, the greatest military on the face of the earth.
• 25:51
  Our motives have always been to set people free.
• 25:55
  You don't see us occupy any country around this world.
• 25:58
  We could have occupied Japan and Germany and all of these other countries.
• 26:03
  We don't do those things.
• 26:04
  All right, we'll set people free and we'll help them rebuild their nation.
• 26:07
  But first now, we got to do the war fighting for our own national security.
• 26:12
  That's what we have to do.
• 26:14
  We will always be victorious.
• 26:16
  So share this with your neighbors, folks, share this with your friends.
• 26:20
  Look for that letter.
• 26:20
  I'm sure it's on the uh internet somewhere, the European uh Union statement regarding the war in Iran, and uh then you make your own judgments.
• 26:30
  Where's there that scripture?
• 26:31
  I love that scripture.
• 26:32
  Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God, America.
• 26:37
  We are the peacemakers, and I believe that because we promote peace, that God looks us as, looks at us as maybe some of his children who are doing his will, not just the will of man.
• 26:51
  God bless you and God bless America.

  Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to our broadcast.
• 31:47
  It's always a pleasure being with you during this time where we have an opportunity to uh share not only news from around the world, uh, some of the news that's happening here in the United States of America during the first half of our broadcast, but it's certainly a real pleasure to share with you news that comes from another place.
• 32:07
  I call that place heaven, right?
• 32:08
  There's a God above, there's a heaven, there's a kingdom called the kingdom of God.
• 32:14
  I believe that uh what is written in the Bible is true.
• 32:17
  And it is during this portion of our broadcast that I share with you uh some great words from the book of life, which is the Holy Bible.
• 32:26
  I'm gonna do something a little different today, though.
• 32:29
  Uh, there was a prayer that was sent to me many years ago.
• 32:33
  It was a prayer that was published uh by an individual who wanted to make sure that any one of us who got our hands on this prayer would probably apply it to our very own lives.
• 32:45
  So I'm gonna read this prayer to you.
• 32:48
  I normally don't read things on the air, but this is so moving, so powerful.
• 32:53
  Uh, I just have to do this.
• 32:55
  So it's called a prayer after ordination, written in 1950, and I believe it was after the ordination of a priest or a minister or a monk, but someone who certainly loves the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 33:10
  Uh, this is the prayer of a man called to be a witness to the nations.
• 33:15
  This is what he said to his Lord on the day of his ordination.
• 33:20
  After the elders and ministers had prayed and laid their hands on him, he withdrew to meet his Savior in the secret place and in the silence, farther than his well-meaning brethren could take him.
• 33:33
  And he said this, O Lord, I have heard thy voice and was afraid.
• 33:40
  Thou hast called me to an awesome task in a grave and perilous hour.
• 33:45
  Thou art about to shake all nations on the earth and also heaven, that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
• 33:53
  O Lord, my Lord, thou hast stooped to honor me to be thy servant.
• 33:58
  No man taketh this honor upon himself, save he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
• 34:05
  Thou has ordained me thy messenger to them that are stubborn of heart and hard of hearing.
• 34:11
  They have rejected thee, the master, and it is not to be expected that they will receive me, thy servant.
• 34:18
  My God, I shall not waste time deploring my weakness, nor my unfittedness for the work.
• 34:25
  The responsibility is not mine, but thine.
• 34:28
  Thou hast said, I knew thee, I ordained thee, I sanctify thee, and thou has also said, Thou shall go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee, thou shall speak.
• 34:42
  Who am I to argue with thee or to call into question thy sovereign choice?
• 34:46
  The decision is not mine but thine.
• 34:49
  So be it, Lord, thy will, not mine be done.
• 34:54
  Well do I know, thou God of the prophets and the apostles, that as long as I honor thee, thou will honor me.
• 35:02
  Help me, therefore, to take the solemn vow to honor thee and all my future life and labors, whether by gain or by loss, by life or by death, and then to keep thou vow unbroken while I live.
• 35:18
  It is time, O God, for thee to work, for the enemy has entered into thy pastures, and their sheep are torn and scattered.
• 35:25
  And false shepherds abound who deny the danger and laugh at the perils which surround thy flock.
• 35:32
  The sheep are deceived by these herlings and follow them with touching loyalty while the wolf closes in to kill and destroy.
• 35:41
  I beseech thee, give me sharp eyes to detect the presence of my enemy.
• 35:46
  Give me understanding to see and courage to report what I see faithfully.
• 35:51
  Make my voice so like thine own that even the sick sheep will recognize it and follow thee.
• 35:58
  Lord Jesus, I come to thee for spiritual preparation.
• 36:02
  Lay thy hand upon me, anoint me with the oil of the New Testament prophet.
• 36:08
  For that I should become a religious scribe and thus lose my prophetic calling.
• 36:13
  Save me from the curse that lies dark across the face of modern clergy and the curse of compromise, of limitation, of imitation, of professionalism.
• 36:24
  Save me from the error of judging a church by its size, its popularity, or the amount of its yearly offering.
• 36:31
  Help me to remember that I am a prophet, not a promoter, not a religious manager, but a prophet.
• 36:37
  Let me never become a slave to crowds, heal my soul of carnal ambitions, and deliver me from the itch for publicity.
• 36:46
  Save me from bondage to things.
• 36:49
  Let me not waste my days puttering around the house.
• 36:52
  Lay thy terror upon me.
• 36:54
  O God, and drive me to the place of prayer where I may wrestle with principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world.
• 37:04
  Deliver me from over eating and late sleeping.
• 37:08
  Teach me self-discipline, that I may be a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
• 37:13
  I accept hard work and small rewards in this life.
• 37:16
  I ask for no easy place.
• 37:19
  I shall try to build blind to the little ways that could make life easier.
• 37:25
  If others seek the smoother path, I shall try to take the hard way without judging them too harshly.
• 37:32
  I shall expect opposition and try to take it quietly when it comes.
• 37:36
  Or if, as sometimes it falleth out to thy servants, I should have grateful gifts pressed upon me by thy kindly people.
• 37:44
  Stand by me, then and save me from the blight that often follows.
• 37:50
  Teach me to use whatever I receive in such manner that will not injure my soul nor diminish my spiritual power.
• 37:56
  And if in thy permissive providence, honor should come to me from thy church, let me not forget, in that hour that I am unworthy of the least of thy mercies, and that if men knew me and intimately as I know myself, they would withhold their honors or bestow them upon others more worthy to receive them.
• 38:16
  And now, O Lord of heaven and earth, I consecrate my remaining days to thee.
• 38:21
  Let them be many or few as thou wilt.
• 38:24
  Let me stand before the great or minister to the poor and lowly.
• 38:30
  That choice is not mine, and I would not influence it if I could.
• 38:34
  I am thy servant to do thy will, and that will is sweeter to me than position or riches or fame, and I choose it above all things on earth or in heaven.
• 38:45
  Though I am chosen of thee and honored by a high and holy calling, let me never forget that I am but a man of dust and ashes, a man with all the natural faults and passions that plague the race of men.
• 38:57
  I pray thee, therefore, my Lord and redeemer.
• 39:01
  Save me from myself and from all the injuries I may do myself by trying to be a blessing to others.
• 39:07
  Fill me with thy power by the Holy Spirit, and I will go in thy strength and tell of thy righteousness, even thine holy.
• 39:16
  I will spread abroad the message of redeeming love while my normal powers endure.
• 39:21
  Then, dear Lord, when I am old and weary and too tired to go on, have a place ready for me above, and make me to be numbered with thy saints and glory everlasting.
• 39:33
  Amen.
• 39:34
  What a powerful prayer.
• 39:37
  And I must tell you that when I read that prayer, I studied it, I looked at it, and I realized that that would be a prayer that I need to keep, and that I need to remember.
• 39:52
  Maybe we all need to keep and remember prayers like that, because it is so important that we are here not to serve our.
• 40:00
  Ourselves, but we are here to serve God.
• 40:03
  We are here to serve Jesus Christ, the God of gods, the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings.
• 40:10
  There are so many scriptures in the Bible that encourage us to move on.
• 40:15
  There are so many blessings in the Bible that will show us that indeed, yeah, we're going to go through some tough times.
• 40:23
  We're going to go through some difficult times.
• 40:26
  But each and every difficult time we go through, there is a God above who will do everything that he can in his power to put us on a road that will bring us to solutions to our problems, that will bring us to success, that will lead us to glory.
• 40:45
  And where is that glory?
• 40:46
  In the kingdom of heaven.
• 40:48
  I've heard so many people today share with me their problems and difficulties.
• 40:53
  And I remember times when I would have people come into my office when I was on our local government, and they would share with me that uh they've tried everything.
• 41:04
  They've tried everything to solve the challenges that they're facing, whether it be in their marriage, whether it be with their children, whether it be at work, anywhere at any time.
• 41:17
  Many people came and said they're exhausted and they need help.
• 41:21
  They've tried to fit pay their bills and can't make the mortgages and the rent and on and on and on.
• 41:26
  And I would see that the major thing that they were really looking for was peace through the storm, was peace through that very, very dark day.
• 41:39
  I call it the uh the the darkness of the soul, right?
• 41:43
  The dark night of the soul, and we've all been through the dark night of the soul.
• 41:48
  How many times have you gone to sleep and wake up with the same burden you went to sleep with?
• 41:55
  How many times did you try to go to sleep and you couldn't sleep?
• 41:59
  How many times do you go to work worried?
• 42:02
  What's going to happen to my children today?
• 42:04
  What's going to happen to my wife, my husband?
• 42:07
  There's an illness in the family, and you're so consumed with the problem.
• 42:12
  Listen, we're made that way, folks, aren't we?
• 42:15
  All of us.
• 42:15
  I'm made that way.
• 42:16
  There are times I still go through those dark nights of the soul.
• 42:20
  Make no mistake about it.
• 42:21
  But I've learned over the years.
• 42:24
  I've learned over the years that although there is a dark night of the soul, there is a light that we could all shine upon that soul that we have.
• 42:37
  That the spirit that God has given us, namely the Holy Spirit living in all of us.
• 42:42
  There is a light.
• 42:44
  And sometimes we get so overwhelmed with our problems, we forget there's a light.
• 42:49
  And many, many times people know the lights there, but won't accept it, won't accept its power until they're on their knees, until they're really truly on their knees.
• 43:00
  And there are many times in the past when I really kind of just thought the Bible as just another book, heard about Christ, but really didn't get close to him, said my prayers, but kind of would say a prayer, get up and leave and go about my business.
• 43:17
  In other words, I never really turned that light on to its brightest, brightest degree.
• 43:24
  You know, you ever see those three-way lights?
• 43:26
  Well, we turn it on, and we got a little dim light, then the medium light comes on, and you want to see the whole room and everything in the room.
• 43:32
  Well, you turn the biggest uh wattage light on.
• 43:35
  That's the light coming from heaven.
• 43:37
  There's no stage one, two, or three regarding the light of Jesus Christ, the light of the Holy Spirit.
• 43:44
  You turn that light on, my friends, and it's going to shine brightly and get rid of the darkness.
• 43:50
  You know, I quite often uh relay the story of uh President Abraham Lincoln.
• 43:56
  So if you're hearing it for the hundredth time, uh kind of forgive me, but there's so much truth to one moment in his time, one moment in the time of President Abraham Lincoln, that I will never forget reading about.
• 44:12
  And I hope you never forget what I'm about to share with you, because I think we've all been there.
• 44:18
  As we all know, President Lincoln had been going through some very, very difficult times, probably the most difficult times of his life during war during the civil war.
• 44:28
  And he prayed daily.
• 44:30
  He had a Bible on his desk, and he read it quite often.
• 44:33
  See, history doesn't talk much about this, does it?
• 44:36
  But these are facts.
• 44:38
  And um night, the White House was closed, doors locked, all the lights out in the White House, except for a candle that was lit in the Oval Office.
• 44:54
  And um the door of the Oval Office was a little open.
• 44:59
  There was a little crack in the door.
• 45:01
  So you could see the light of the candle shining through that door out into the hallway.
• 45:06
  So President Lincoln's chief of staff had been walking around the halls of the White House, I guess doing this and doing that, kind of fixing things up.
• 45:17
  Really, he was just kind of walking around, I guess uh killing some time.
• 45:23
  But he walked into the hallway where the Oval Office was and saw a little bit of light shining through the crack in the door.
• 45:31
  So he decided to walk down the hallway, and when he came to the Oval Office and saw the door a little open, he opened it up wider, and there he saw President Lincoln, not sitting behind the resolute desk, not standing looking out the window, but on his knees.
• 45:53
  President Lincoln on his knees, holding a Bible in his hand with his head bowed down.
• 46:01
  So his chief of staff is looking at him, and finally he said, Mr.
• 46:06
  President, I don't really want to interrupt you, but you're okay.
• 46:10
  Is there anything I could do?
• 46:11
  And what are you doing down there on the floor?
• 46:15
  The president turned his head in a minute or so and looked at him and said, My friend, I have no place else to go.
• 46:24
  Wow.
• 46:26
  What a message.
• 46:27
  I have no place else to go.
• 46:30
  So the only final place, the president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln went, was to the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 46:41
  He went to the light, not only shining from that candle in the Oval Office, but he went to the light shining from heaven to his heart, to his soul, to his spirit, praying to God for peace, for wisdom, for understanding, and for strength.
• 47:01
  And is that not what you and I seek every single day of our lives?
• 47:08
  I admit to you, when I run into challenges and problems now, yep, I look for solutions.
• 47:14
  Need a doctor, I go.
• 47:16
  Need to meet the banker, I go.
• 47:19
  Need to solve some problems in the household.
• 47:21
  I get to find those solutions, I do.
• 47:24
  But before I now take those steps, I pray.
• 47:29
  Lord, lead me in the right direction.
• 47:31
  Lord, show me thy path.
• 47:34
  Teach me thy ways.
• 47:36
  Lord, give me the wisdom.
• 47:38
  Give me the knowledge and understanding of what I'm going through so that I can make the right decisions.
• 47:44
  Now, many of you may be saying, Oh, but I've tried everything.
• 47:48
  I've done everything I could.
• 47:50
  Uh uh people have come and gone and they've patted me on the back.
• 47:55
  Oh, I'm with you all the way.
• 47:57
  And well, you notice that when the people, although meaning, many of them are meaningful very well, they mean really mean well when they do that.
• 48:05
  But have they really come to help you?
• 48:08
  Maybe some have, and God bless them if they have, because maybe the good Lord is using them to answer your prayers, and that's a good thing, but it rarely happens.
• 48:17
  For the most part, those who pat us on the back, they really mean it.
• 48:21
  If they they really want to help, but they can't, but they'll say anything to bring comfort.
• 48:26
  My point is this.
• 48:28
  The only real place you can go to is whether literally or figuratively on your knees and pray.
• 48:39
  It doesn't mean you're gonna get a scripted prayer.
• 48:42
  You know how you're gonna pray.
• 48:44
  How about this?
• 48:46
  You pray the way you want, the way you think is best for you.
• 48:50
  But for me now, the most effective way for me to pray is what I'm doing right now.
• 48:56
  Having a conversation with you.
• 48:59
  And believe me, I wish this was a two-way conversation.
• 49:02
  Perhaps one day we'll get you on a radio program.
• 49:05
  Anyone who wants to come on that wants to talk about this, I'll tell you what, I'd love for you to come on.
• 49:11
  In fact, go to our website, America Out Loud.news, America Out Loud.news, and you're gonna find out on that website that there is a way to get to me, and send me an email.
• 49:23
  I think actually there's a contact form, okay?
• 49:26
  So uh contact form, you'll see where uh my broadcast is, and just go and send me little note, okay?
• 49:35
  That's uh America Outloud.news.
• 49:37
  That's the network website.
• 49:39
  And since we're on this network, that's a be pretty easy way you can get to me.
• 49:43
  And then maybe we're getting you on the air.
• 49:45
  And let's have a uh a good talk about Christ and the Bible.
• 49:49
  Very rare, huh?
• 49:50
  Very rare on a lot of uh networks and broadcasts, but America Out Loud, all right.
• 49:54
  This news broadcast brings not only news, like I said earlier from Earth, but from heaven, and this is all good.
• 50:00
  News, by the way.
• 50:01
  It is good news.
• 50:04
  And I encourage you to take advantage of that.
• 50:08
  But getting back to what I was originally speaking about the peace of mind or heart or whole of spirit, the dark night of the soul.
• 50:16
  We can eliminate the dark night of the soul if we pray and have a conversation with God.
• 50:23
  So I wake up four, five, six in the morning.
• 50:27
  I make a cup of coffee.
• 50:30
  Maybe I'll eat something.
• 50:32
  I'll sit on a chair.
• 50:34
  I'll relax.
• 50:35
  Sometimes I'll put on some nice, soft, beautiful, relaxing music.
• 50:39
  How's that sound, folks?
• 50:42
  And then I take a sip of coffee.
• 50:46
  I literally look out the window up at the sky, or in the room I'm in at the at the ceiling, sometimes across the room, sometimes bow my head.
• 50:56
  And then I say this.
• 50:58
  Okay, buddy.
• 51:00
  Let's talk.
• 51:01
  That's right.
• 51:02
  That's the way I start my prayer.
• 51:04
  I feel that close and intimate with Jesus Christ that I could actually have a conversation with him like that.
• 51:11
  Now somebody might say, well, that's kind of disrespectful.
• 51:15
  You know, he's a king.
• 51:17
  Well, he also knows my heart.
• 51:19
  He knows your heart.
• 51:21
  And I tend to believe he also has a sense of humor.
• 51:24
  And I tend to believe that he has no problem with us for referring to him as a buddy.
• 51:31
  I thank him every day for being my friend.
• 51:35
  My point is get close to him.
• 51:38
  Get to know him.
• 51:40
  He's not walking around heaven with a hammer, looking for something to hammer your head with.
• 51:46
  He's walking around heaven, just waiting for you to come on to show up and how you show up.
• 51:50
  You have that conversation.
• 51:51
  So tomorrow morning, this afternoon, after this broadcast, hey, whenever you're comfortable.
• 51:58
  Maybe sitting behind your desk, or maybe in an office like the Oval Office, maybe getting on your knees.
• 52:04
  Whatever, whatever uh you feel is comfortable for you.
• 52:07
  Don't let somebody tell you how you should pray, you know, uh on your knees, up down.
• 52:12
  That's why I won't do that.
• 52:13
  I don't tell you how to pray.
• 52:15
  I tell you how I pray.
• 52:16
  But the only way to pray is the way you feel comfortable with.
• 52:22
  That's right.
• 52:24
  God isn't necessarily looking at how you pray.
• 52:28
  He is looking at what you're saying.
• 52:31
  Are you confessing to him your sins?
• 52:34
  Oh boy, that's a tough one, isn't it?
• 52:37
  Are you letting him know everything that you should be letting him know about your life, about your problems?
• 52:45
  Are you holding things back from him?
• 52:47
  Don't do that because he already knows.
• 52:49
  Oh, yeah.
• 52:50
  Where there is the presence of sin, there are a couple things going on.
• 52:54
  Where there's presence of sin, the grace abounds.
• 52:58
  Believe me, he brings a lot of grace to you, but also where there's the presence of sin is a roadblock to blessings.
• 53:06
  Oh, yeah.
• 53:08
  And as I shared with you in that letter that I read to you a few minutes ago, I see that that particular individual who wrote, well, I call it a letter who wrote that prayer, made it very clear that they clearly made it clear.
• 53:26
  I'm repeating myself.
• 53:27
  That's when you run out of words on radio, you kind of fill the gap.
• 53:31
  All right.
• 53:31
  So forgive me.
• 53:33
  But the fact is that what I'm trying to say is that he made it very, very clear that we need to be honest with God, close to him.
• 53:44
  When he says things like, Lord, uh, make me aware of my faults and my sins.
• 53:49
  Yeah, I want to be aware of the sins and faults.
• 53:53
  Hey, folks, there's some things we do that we know we shouldn't do.
• 53:56
  The instinct kicks.
• 53:58
  Well, I'm I'm not going to do this.
• 54:00
  And we don't do it.
• 54:02
  And then we realize, hmm, is that sinful?
• 54:06
  Listen to this, folks.
• 54:07
  I have a friend who said to me, uh, income tax is coming up, and he receives some income.
• 54:13
  Uh, where he got, I think uh, it wasn't a W2.
• 54:16
  Oh, 1099.
• 54:17
  All right.
• 54:18
  So he gets this 1099 form where he was contracted out to work for someone.
• 54:22
  And uh he's telling me, hey, look, he says, hey, Steve, you think I should kind of just take a chance?
• 54:29
  I I got a lot of income here, and I might be end up paying a lot of taxes.
• 54:32
  So should I uh, you know, maybe kind of forget this 1099?
• 54:37
  And I looked at him, I says, Well, you may forget it.
• 54:40
  What makes you believe the IRS is gonna forget it?
• 54:43
  He says, Well, he says, Sometimes, you know, I could take the gamble, I could take the shot.
• 54:49
  I said, Well, well, well, to what end?
• 54:52
  Well, Steve, to what end?
• 54:54
  I may not have to uh, you know, see my taxes really go through the roof if I don't submit this one 1099.
• 55:00
  I said, So you're telling me you're gonna take a gamble, and if you lose the gamble, you'll be fine, probably.
• 55:06
  You'll be given uh uh some sort of a uh tax upon the tax, right?
• 55:10
  Interest and all that.
• 55:12
  Uh is it really worth it?
• 55:15
  He says to me, and here it goes, folks.
• 55:17
  He says to me, Oh, who's watching?
• 55:20
  The only person that knows is you.
• 55:23
  Well, now that you asked me the question I was waiting for, the answer is God is watching.
• 55:31
  He's watching.
• 55:32
  You know who he is, and he stared at me.
• 55:36
  And it's his long stare.
• 55:38
  And I said, Who are you staring at?
• 55:40
  He says, Well, you know, I I kind of expected, I know how you are, I kind of expected, but didn't expect you to say that with regard to this.
• 55:48
  So I said, Hey, listen, let me tell you something.
• 55:50
  You told me nobody's watching, God is watching.
• 55:53
  I guarantee you bury that 1099 in a draw.
• 55:58
  You may not be going back to it for another year, two, three, four, five years.
• 56:02
  But when, not if, but when the IRS catch up to you, you're gonna pay a heavy price.
• 56:08
  But worse than that, and here it comes, folks.
• 56:11
  Worse than that.
• 56:13
  When your sin catches up to you, you're gonna pay a price, unlike any price you've ever paid before.
• 56:21
  And he got shaken over that.
• 56:24
  He said, What do you mean?
• 56:25
  That's like you're talking like I'm committing a murder or something.
• 56:28
  I said, You don't have to commit a murder.
• 56:31
  Sin is sin in the eyes of God.
• 56:34
  And I told him, believe me, things like that in the past have crossed my mind till I realized that if I'm gonna honor God, if I'm gonna pray to God, if I'm gonna ask him for blessings, then the greatest way I could bless him is to be honest, do the right thing.
• 56:49
  And by the way, this person is a Christian like I am.
• 56:52
  So we all fall short, the Bible says the glory of God.
• 56:55
  So I end with this.
• 56:57
  The Bible tells you to sin not, sin not, and if you sin, confess to the Lord Jesus Christ, let him know your faults, your problems, and then you know you're gonna hear from him.
• 57:09
  Go, my friend, and sin no more.
• 57:12
  You're forgiven.
• 57:13
  Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
• 57:16
  Yep.
• 57:17
  If you got no place else to go, try God.
• 57:21
  He is the Lord thy God.
• 57:23
  He says, I have come.
• 57:25
  I have come to you.
• 57:28
  I have come for you.
• 57:30
  Believe me, he's here, ready, willing, and able to receive you and for you to receive him as your Lord and Savior.
• 57:40
  God bless you, and God bless America.
