The political fight against biometric identification for policing · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

• 0:20
  Welcome to our broadcast, ladies and gentlemen.
• 0:23
  You're listening to a broadcast that will bring you truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth regarding a number of issues that we are tackling here all around the world, all across America, everywhere, every place that we see something going on, we believe that at some point in time we're gonna have to say something.
• 0:42
  Especially if it's affecting not only your life as an individual, but also the destiny of our nation.
• 0:50
  Now, look, there is a lot going on regarding ice, right?
• 0:53
  I mean, uh, these politicians will continue to fight their fight against ice, against those fine men and women who are doing everything they could to protect this nation from terrorist attacks.
• 1:06
  They're doing everything they could to remove from the streets of our nation killers and murderers and rapists and on and on and on.
• 1:13
  And again, there are those politicians who will continue to spread their propaganda, spread their lies, their own narratives, along with a lot of the mainstream media to do what?
• 1:25
  To discourage people like you and me from supporting the individuals of the U.S.
• 1:30
  Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
• 1:34
  Terrible, isn't it?
• 1:35
  We got politicians out there who continue to hammer away at not funding DHS.
• 1:40
  Why?
• 1:41
  They don't want to fund the Department of Homeland Security because they don't want to fund, they don't want to fund ICE.
• 1:49
  So where are we going with all this, folks?
• 1:52
  They wanted to fund everybody.
• 1:55
  Well, right now they're succeeding.
• 1:58
  They're succeeding to a certain degree, because people are still not going to work with the TSA.
• 2:04
  Our security uh levels are increased dramatically, and yet the ability to secure our nation, airports and other uh areas of our country that need security are being affected.
• 2:16
  But these politicians don't care.
• 2:19
  Recently they went on vacation without passing any funding measures that would at least give people paychecks at the TSA, and that we can get ICE officers back on the streets of this country to hunt down those people who are very, very bad, very evil.
• 2:39
  Those are the kinds of people the rapists, the murderers, the convicted felons.
• 2:43
  They've made a lot of arrests, those men and women of ICE, and they haven't gotten much credit for it.
• 2:49
  Now, what do you think about this?
• 2:52
  The assaults against the U.S.
• 2:54
  immigration and customs enforcement officers, okay.
• 2:58
  The assaults on them have dramatically increased over the past two years.
• 3:04
  Between 2025 and now, according to DHS reports, I've got to tell you, this the increases in assaults on our ICE agents has significantly increased to this point.
• 3:17
  DHS reported a 1,000 300% increase in assaults against ICE officers as of listen to this, folks, January 2026.
• 3:29
  We're not talking about since the year 2025, which was pretty high, but imagine where we're headed.
• 3:36
  That's about a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks against them regarding these assaults compared to 2025.
• 3:47
  Now let's talk about these uh uh vehicular attacks.
• 3:51
  We've got our reports here that between January 21st, 2025, and early February 26, there were over 180 reported vehicular attacks against ICE and DHS officers.
• 4:05
  Go on to say that many of the suspects actually use their cars to ram the agents during enforcement actions.
• 4:11
  Now I've got to tell you, folks, if someone is gonna use a car to ram into you, then what's the problem with an officer?
• 4:21
  Because I'll tell you what, local police would do this, state police would do this, they draw their weapons and use that weapon to protect themselves.
• 4:31
  But no, we've got politicians, and I just saw this recently, politicians on TV who are saying, well, the ICE agents shouldn't be out on the streets anymore, and they shouldn't be in the airports.
• 4:42
  Why?
• 4:43
  Because they may kill somebody.
• 4:45
  And I'll name somebody who said that, something similar to that.
• 4:49
  A senator from my own state, Corey Booker.
• 4:53
  I wish that somebody who knows Corey would have him tune into this broadcast.
• 4:57
  Because I am a constituent who make it clear to you that what you are saying is untrue, that you are a liar, because you can't bring any evidence that ICE officers or anyone for that matter who's doing their job to protect this country from terrorism and from every evil person, you don't have one ounce of proof that they're out indiscriminately on purpose killing Americans.
• 5:22
  And you and some of your whole cohorts in the Senate and in the United States Congress should be ashamed of yourself.
• 5:29
  But the people will answer.
• 5:31
  I hope they will.
• 5:33
  You see, people like Booker and others like him, they feel they're entitled to the office they hold.
• 5:39
  We need to throw them out of office.
• 5:41
  Oh, yeah.
• 5:42
  Best thing you can do, folks.
• 5:43
  Yeah, you could rally, you can protest, we can make noise like I am right now on radio, TV, etc.
• 5:49
  We could express our views, and yeah, the message gets to them, but they don't care.
• 5:54
  Because if they cared, they wouldn't be spewing out this nonsense.
• 5:57
  But I'll tell you what they do care about.
• 5:59
  The votes.
• 6:00
  Oh, yeah.
• 6:02
  They are gonna come around election time, they're gonna look for the photo ops with the cops, and oh, they're gonna call radio stations like the one I'm on here, the great one of the greatest in the United States.
• 6:13
  When I'll tell you, America out loud dot news.
• 6:17
  Man, what a radio network.
• 6:19
  Man, they probably don't like us.
• 6:21
  Oh, they probably don't like us because we are out loud.
• 6:25
  And we do tell the truth.
• 6:27
  We tell it like it is.
• 6:28
  They don't like that.
• 6:30
  Who are they, you ask?
• 6:31
  Those politicians who, as far as I'm concerned, are not doing anything at all.
• 6:37
  That's in the best interest of our country.
• 6:39
  Now, one might say, ah, now you're attacking their patriotism.
• 6:42
  No, I'm not.
• 6:43
  I'm not gonna look at it.
• 6:44
  I'm not gonna tell them, tell you they're not patriotic.
• 6:47
  They may be doing a number of other patriotic things.
• 6:50
  That's that's their thing, good for them.
• 6:52
  They ought to let us know about it.
• 6:54
  Or they may say, well, they're being patriotic in criticizing ICE, in criticizing law enforcement, in criticizing all of the things that are going on.
• 7:04
  Well, okay.
• 7:05
  If that's the way you feel, you think that's patriotic, fine.
• 7:08
  I don't think it is.
• 7:10
  I think waving the American flag in support of, not against those men and women protecting us is patriotic.
• 7:20
  But there have been all kinds of incidents, vehicular attacks, assaults with bottles and rocks.
• 7:26
  A lot of these violent incidents are reported that officers uh have been dragged by cars.
• 7:33
  They've been bit by people, attacked with metal objects, rocks being thrown at them, bricks, these homemade fire bombs, fireworks that are ignited and thrown into the uh crowds of uh officers, and there have been some reports of shots being fired at our men and women in uniform.
• 7:53
  They've had a number of officers that required stitches, sent to hospitals.
• 7:58
  Some of them have been uh hit with the metal that has been sh uh you know, shredded, thrown at them, cutting them, cups of hot coffee thrown at them.
• 8:08
  I gotta tell you, you know what?
• 8:11
  Try this.
• 8:12
  Try this to any police officer who's in a state where the government supports them.
• 8:19
  Try it.
• 8:20
  Just try it.
• 8:22
  And you all know the states that stand up for their cops.
• 8:25
  You all know the states that stand up for freedom and liberty and justice and the way our officers are conducting themselves, which are professionally.
• 8:34
  Do some officers get out of hand?
• 8:36
  Sure they do.
• 8:37
  But after what they've gone through for hours and hours, yelled at, screamed at, spit on, rock thrown at them.
• 8:44
  What do you expect?
• 8:45
  They're human beings.
• 8:47
  They are.
• 8:55
  But you do what you feel you must do if your life or someone else's life is in danger.
• 9:02
  You do what you must do.
• 9:04
  You are trained to do that.
• 9:06
  Somebody comes after me with a car, they're gonna ram it into me.
• 9:11
  Guess what?
• 9:12
  That's the last time you're gonna drive a car.
• 9:14
  In fact, that might be the last time you're gonna walk.
• 9:16
  Oh my God, somebody's saying right now, oh no, he's talking about committing violence.
• 9:22
  No, I'm not.
• 9:23
  I'm talking about defending ourselves.
• 9:26
  I don't believe that anybody should resort to violence.
• 9:30
  Whether you're on the left or right in between, Republican, Democrat, we don't need to resort to violence.
• 9:36
  But the communist party's doing a good job, folks.
• 9:40
  Oh, they're financing a lot of these rallies we're seeing around the country.
• 9:44
  How about, you know, like these no king rallies?
• 9:47
  What are they talking about?
• 9:48
  No king rallies.
• 9:50
  Nobody wants a king, for goodness sakes.
• 9:52
  You know, go to England and do that.
• 9:54
  They got a king over there.
• 9:56
  But you see, no kings.
• 9:58
  They're trying, they put labels on.
• 10:00
  Our presidents on our congressional representatives and others who are doing what they believe is right, taking the bull by the horns, getting past all the red tape and nonsensical committee meetings.
• 10:10
  Man, they still have it, committee meetings, investigations.
• 10:14
  Yeah, I get some critics who tell me, well, you know, you call them clown shows.
• 10:19
  You think that's right?
• 10:19
  Yeah, I think it's right.
• 10:21
  Because they are clown shows.
• 10:23
  C-SPAN, they put them on the air.
• 10:26
  There are other networks that put some of their hearings on the air.
• 10:30
  And I'm channel surfing.
• 10:31
  I want some entertainment, I watch.
• 10:33
  I do.
• 10:34
  I just watch people yell at each other, scream at each other, denigrate each other.
• 10:40
  And as I've said during past broadcasts, one guy, one senator, got up from behind his seat.
• 10:46
  I think he challenged somebody, some witness to a fist fight.
• 10:50
  Terrible.
• 10:51
  It's never happened before in our country.
• 10:54
  That's why I've said, I've said it over and over again, and there's some videos out there that have me saying this.
• 11:00
  We need a lot of people in government to have mandatory mental health checkups.
• 11:06
  Yep.
• 11:06
  Really, I'm not kidding.
• 11:08
  I want to know who's biased.
• 11:09
  I want to know who's radical to the point that they're going to uh commit acts of uh violence.
• 11:15
  Hey, look at these people are in charge of my future.
• 11:18
  Do it with cops.
• 11:19
  That's right.
• 11:21
  I was on a police force in New Jersey.
• 11:23
  Well, before you got your job, you had to go to a therapist and get a mental health evaluation.
• 11:28
  What's wrong with that?
• 11:29
  I'm all for it.
• 11:30
  Guys, we're carrying guns, for goodness sakes.
• 11:33
  But these people are not just carrying guns, they're carrying the ability to start wars.
• 11:38
  They have the ability to turn people in government against the good guys.
• 11:45
  Don't we see that happening now, folks?
• 11:47
  Who's who's on the streets?
• 11:50
  Are the good guys on the streets?
• 11:52
  No.
• 11:53
  In my view, not everybody on the streets protesting, rallying, crying, committing all these acts of violence.
• 12:00
  I'm not going to call them all bad guys.
• 12:02
  But I believe most of them are bad guys because they're committing acts of violence.
• 12:08
  Kicking cars, breaking windows, smashing the windows and windshields of innocent people trying to get to work.
• 12:16
  Talk about mental health issues.
• 12:18
  Wow.
• 12:19
  Don't these people go to work?
• 12:21
  But we do have the power.
• 12:23
  And I've said this quite a few times on this broadcast.
• 12:28
  What is our founding document say?
• 12:31
  It says we the people.
• 12:34
  We the people, you and me.
• 12:36
  We are overwhelming them in numbers.
• 12:41
  But we got to show up at the polls, folks.
• 12:43
  Got to go there and vote.
• 12:45
  We can beat them at the polls every time there's an election.
• 12:48
  But unfortunately, a lot of people give up.
• 12:50
  Oh, I ain't gonna go vote.
• 12:51
  They're all crooks, I ain't gonna go vote.
• 12:53
  No, no, don't take that position.
• 12:56
  You go vote.
• 12:59
  You get involved.
• 13:00
  Your vote counts.
• 13:02
  People have lost elections.
• 13:04
  Good people have lost elections by five, six, seven votes by one or two percent.
• 13:10
  And you find out that it was most of the good guys doing all the, you know, crying and screaming about the way things are, didn't bother to go vote.
• 13:22
  Gotta vote, folks.
• 13:24
  Gotta vote to put an end to this chaos.
• 13:27
  Now, doxing and threats against agents of the uh of the Department of Homeland Security?
• 13:35
  Well, how about 8,000% increase, folks, in debt threats?
• 13:39
  Like that?
• 13:40
  You like going on a job, and when you go home, your wife is crying, your kids are crying hysterically, somebody threatened to kill them.
• 13:45
  That's what's going on.
• 13:47
  Why?
• 13:47
  Because they're getting personal information that's being published online by some of these maniacs.
• 13:54
  What do you think of that?
• 13:56
  I often wonder what would happen.
• 13:59
  And believe me, I don't want to see this happen.
• 14:02
  In fact, I'm not going to say what I wondered what would happen regarding a specific group, but just think about this.
• 14:10
  I'm not going to, in other words, I'm not going to call out a specific group.
• 14:12
  You fill in, you fill in what's between the lines here.
• 14:17
  What if the people making these rules and regulations?
• 14:21
  What if the people who are out there wanting to defund the police?
• 14:26
  What about the people who are saying to uh uh ICE agents, look, you all right, are not going to wear masks.
• 14:33
  You are not going to protect yourself.
• 14:35
  Why?
• 14:35
  Because me, I'm going to be able, in the position I'm in, to put a stop to it.
• 14:40
  What if they were doxxed?
• 14:42
  Really?
• 14:43
  What if they became victims of their own policies?
• 14:47
  And believe me, you dare not do that.
• 14:51
  Anyone listening to this broadcast, you don't do that.
• 14:56
  But I'm sure it's crossed the mind of a lot of people.
• 14:58
  What if, and I've said this over and over again in many broadcasts, what if the people making the laws prohibiting law enforcement officers from doing their job, become the victim of crimes that cops could have prevented as a result of the policies that they are introducing.
• 15:18
  Because I've said this all along.
• 15:20
  They don't live where we live, folks.
• 15:23
  They don't live where a lot of people in this country become vulnerable to criminal elements.
• 15:28
  They live in homes with big walls and big gates.
• 15:32
  I've seen them, I've been around them.
• 15:33
  I've been in some of their homes, for goodness sakes.
• 15:36
  They don't live the way we live.
• 15:39
  I'm happy the way I live.
• 15:41
  I'm normal.
• 15:43
  Well, after this broadcast, somebody might say, I don't know how normal he is, but maybe what he's saying is pretty good.
• 15:50
  Okay, you get the point.
• 15:53
  You and me, we're middle class people, right?
• 15:55
  I'm not wealthy.
• 15:56
  I'm not one of them rich guys and gals.
• 15:58
  Okay, and listen, God bless them, that's fine.
• 16:01
  People ask me, hey, where's your treasure?
• 16:03
  You know what I tell them?
• 16:04
  Not in oil, cotton stocks, my treasures in heaven.
• 16:08
  Oh, yeah, where are no morph and rust can get at.
• 16:11
  My treasures in heaven, my relationship with Jesus.
• 16:14
  That turns them off.
• 16:15
  Boy, do they run away real quick, a lot of them?
• 16:18
  But then there are a lot of good people who are very wealthy, who give a lot, a lot for the betterment of mankind.
• 16:25
  So they don't count in this particular description that I'm giving you.
• 16:29
  But you get it.
• 16:30
  You understand, I'm sure.
• 16:32
  A lot of these lawmakers need a wake-up call.
• 16:35
  This is why I've said, we need term limits.
• 16:38
  Oh yeah.
• 16:39
  No more special interests, no more big millions of dollars going into these super packs, getting bad people elected to office.
• 16:46
  How about a win for the good guys?
• 16:49
  How about term limits?
• 16:52
  Many of you who know me, I term limited myself, two terms in office, gone.
• 16:56
  That's it.
• 16:57
  Good riddance.
• 16:58
  Did my part.
• 17:00
  It was Ronald Reagan and George Washington who uh pretty much uh vocalized their view on term limits.
• 17:08
  And they actually said, and I think it was Reagan when he left office, he says, listen, I thank God that I was given the ability to get this temp job, temporary job, he called the White House to serve the people, not himself.
• 17:21
  That's the kind of leaders we need, right?
• 17:24
  We need them in Congress like that.
• 17:26
  Maybe one day it'll happen.
• 17:28
  But there have been, there have been a lot of contributing factors to the assaults on our ICE officers and other cops around the country, and a lot of it has been surging as a result of guess what?
• 17:40
  Radical rhetoric coming from who?
• 17:43
  Not just the protesters, not just those out on the streets who really have mental health problems as far as I'm concerned.
• 17:50
  I mean, they really do.
• 17:51
  You read some of it, they don't even know why they're out there.
• 17:54
  You know, there have been reporters out on the streets from the mainstream media, as well as other media outlets.
• 18:00
  Now, the other media outlets actually will broadcast their interviews with everybody on the streets, whether they're pro or again for or against.
• 18:10
  The mainstream media will, at least in my view, they censor a lot of this stuff.
• 18:14
  For example, when they go up to a person and say, why are you here?
• 18:18
  And they stare at the person, they stare at the reporter.
• 18:21
  Why am I here?
• 18:23
  Okay, I'm here because there's a problem with the weather.
• 18:28
  All right.
• 18:29
  So all these signs around you defund DHS and this and that.
• 18:33
  What's that all about?
• 18:34
  You know what the answer is?
• 18:35
  What's DHS?
• 18:37
  I'm not kidding, folks.
• 18:38
  These are the things, these are the people out there protesting.
• 18:41
  They don't even know why they're out there.
• 18:43
  So anyway, getting back to these contributing factors of the radical rhetoric.
• 18:48
  The radical rhetoric, not only coming from the protesters, but from the mainstream media and from guess who?
• 18:55
  Politicians.
• 18:57
  You've heard it, I've heard it, we're hearing it day in and day out.
• 19:02
  They are not going to stop.
• 19:04
  Now, let me just say one thing with regard to politicians.
• 19:08
  Of course, I'll say a lot about them, but one particular thing about Democrats.
• 19:12
  I would say this.
• 19:14
  I'm very, very sensitive and making sure I'm not going to condemn every Democrat in that party.
• 19:21
  Because I have friends who are Democrats who love this country.
• 19:25
  They're the Democrats of FDR, of JFK.
• 19:28
  A lot of good Democrats in office over the years.
• 19:30
  I think Tip O'Neill was a great speaker of the House.
• 19:33
  Him and Ronald Reagan got along well.
• 19:36
  But but saying that, they need to, the good Democrats, patriotic Democrats, they need to stand up and take control of their party.
• 19:49
  The Republican Party, well, you know, we've taken pretty much control and talking about the people of this party, but now we're running into some problems because there are Republicans.
• 20:00
  Republicans who are not really listening to what is really going on and how you need patience.
• 20:07
  All right.
• 20:08
  You need patience.
• 20:09
  You need to stand up and continue to fight the good fight of faith.
• 20:13
  Rome wasn't built in a day.
• 20:15
  I hear people where's my $2,000?
• 20:19
  Where's the golden age?
• 20:20
  Where's this?
• 20:21
  Where's that?
• 20:22
  As long as we're not saying what happened to our freedom and liberty, I'm fine.
• 20:26
  We're going to go through rough times.
• 20:28
  Every generation of Americans have gone through tough times and have gone through war.
• 20:33
  A lot of things we don't want to see happening.
• 20:36
  Well, they're going to happen.
• 20:37
  But that's when we are at our best.
• 20:40
  We come together as Americans.
• 20:44
  The Republican Party, you know, it's easy for us to point at the Democrats and say, well, the Democrats this, the Democrats that.
• 20:51
  Well, sometimes we better look in the mirror, don't you think?
• 20:55
  So my point is that all of us, all of us have to stop the rhetoric.
• 21:00
  You know, I mean, really mean that.
• 21:02
  All of us have to stop the rhetoric.
• 21:05
  The bad violent rhetoric that's going on.
• 21:08
  So what we need to do is to kind of uh take a big big breath, deep breath and say, Well, how am I going to handle this?
• 21:16
  And I say, the greatest gift that God has given us.
• 21:21
  Our founders who created a declaration of independence, a founders, a constitution of the United States that gives the people you and me the power to make change.
• 21:34
  But the question that needs to be answered.
• 21:37
  When are we going to exercise that power?
• 21:41
  We have over the years, and it's worked out pretty good.
• 21:44
  But we have to continue to exercise that power.
• 21:48
  A lot of things go on.
• 21:50
  A lot of things go on that we don't know of.
• 21:52
  I wonder how many of you know that was an incident or an issue in uh Chicago, Illinois, folks.
• 21:59
  It's reported by the press that there's legislation in Illinois that was introduced in the state house one day before a college student was killed that would handcuff police investigators by prohibiting the use of biometric identification systems to apprehend, track down, apprehend, and bring bad guys to justice.
• 22:20
  Another example of politicians getting involved and handcuffing, this time not ice, but handcuffing even local police.
• 22:29
  Now, just so you know, if you don't know, biometric identification uses unique human traits to verify a person's identity.
• 22:39
  These characteristics can be psychological, they could be fingerprints, facial features, the iris in your eye scans, retina patterns.
• 22:48
  I mean, you go on and on, the shape of a hand, arm, DNA, all kinds of behavioral patterns.
• 22:54
  Voice recognition, typing speed.
• 22:57
  Wow, how someone walks and talks, all kinds of stuff.
• 23:01
  Now, this is what biometrics does.
• 23:05
  It just takes someone's inherent features and it makes them more difficult for people to copy.
• 23:12
  So, what happens in this case?
• 23:14
  The police will use biometrics in many cases to apprehend some pretty violent bad guys.
• 23:20
  In this particular case, a 25-year-old man from Venezuela.
• 23:24
  All right, he entered the United States in 2023, and he was released by a border patrol by the border patrol under the Biden administration.
• 23:32
  What else is new?
• 23:34
  This bill was introduced by an Illinois state representative, all right, who happens to be a Democrat, all right?
• 23:40
  There's a common thread.
• 23:42
  If passed, it's going to prevent police from utilizing the biometric identification systems to apprehend every single bad guy in that state.
• 23:51
  And I'll tell you what, folks, this bill covers fingerprint matching tools, facial recognition software, the iris scanners, and any other technology involving in biometric information.
• 24:04
  They want to do away with all.
• 24:20
  One wonders why anyone would want to prohibit police from using such a tool to take killers off the street.
• 24:28
  One day before a young college student in Illinois was shot and killed by a bad guy who was eventually captured by the police as a result of biometric technologies.
• 24:43
  One day before that, you get this politician who says, well, we don't want the biometric technology being used to catch bad guys in Illinois.
• 24:53
  You think he turned his opinion around?
• 24:56
  Hmm.
• 24:56
  Well, ask the question to them over there in Illinois.
• 24:59
  Let's see what the answer is, folks.
• 25:02
  Well, as far as I know, these critics and these politicians, they have not produced any credible evidence that there are any flaws that exist in this technology.
• 25:12
  None at all.
• 25:13
  That's their defense, by the way, if you want to know why they're doing such a thing.
• 25:17
  Why they want to go after the biometric technologies?
• 25:20
  Because they're saying that these technology is flawed.
• 25:23
  Where's the proof?
• 25:25
  Where's the evidence?
• 25:26
  As that little old lady said years ago on commercials, where's the beef?
• 25:31
  We're dealing with politicians.
• 25:33
  That's who we're dealing with, folks.
• 25:35
  And I gotta tell you, until we deal with them at the polls, we're gonna continue to see this happen.
• 25:41
  Police say that identification is essential in building a strong case, and the biometric identification system speeds up the process and helps build a strong case for police to identify and apprehend criminal suspects.
• 25:56
  Go out there, state your case, ladies and gentlemen, but be more state your case at the polls every election day, and there are two words that you'll be able to say every single day after the people that you trust are elected to office.
• 26:11
  And you know what those two words are?
• 26:14
  Case closed.
• 26:16
  Proverbs 2115.
• 26:18
  When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to evildoers.
• 26:24
  Until next time, God bless you and God bless America.

  Well, thank you very, very much, ladies and gentlemen, for joining the second half of a one-hour broadcast here on America Out Loud News.
• 30:53
  Thank you so much again for tuning in.
• 30:56
  Now, new listeners might be surprised, in fact, probably very surprised to learn that what follows on this segment of my broadcast is focused entirely on you.
• 31:08
  That's right, you.
• 31:09
  No matter who you are, where you are, whatever you do in this life, what I have for you is something that I believe that will impact you one way or another.
• 31:21
  That means either positively or negatively.
• 31:24
  It's all up to you.
• 31:27
  What I'm about to share with you doesn't stem from human theories or science or collective wisdom.
• 31:34
  Instead, what I am about to share with you originates from God Almighty.
• 31:39
  A figure who arrived on earth and dramatically changed everything, absolutely everything.
• 31:45
  The destiny of this planet, of countries that were being created and formed in the future, and it may be hard to believe this at this point, and your very life.
• 32:06
  That he would create you at this point of time in your life, and then determine based on your reaction to him, your very destiny.
• 32:15
  That's right, on your reaction to him.
• 32:17
  Many times we believe that, well, you know, God created us for a reason A, B, and C, and if I don't want to go down that road, I don't have to.
• 32:26
  Well, I've got news for you.
• 32:29
  No matter what road God chooses for you, if it's a great road of blessings, ultimately, I believe this.
• 32:36
  Ultimately, it'll be up to you whether you receive those blessings or not.
• 32:41
  Now, many people will say, well, that's contrary to what the Bible says.
• 32:45
  No, it's not.
• 32:46
  Because your pathway to eternal salvation is entirely up to you, for example, right?
• 32:54
  I'll give that as an example.
• 32:56
  The Bible says, no man cometh to the Father but by me.
• 33:00
  The scriptures say I am the way, the truth, and the life.
• 33:04
  But yet, many men and women on this earth from the day Adam and Eve were created, were given a choice.
• 33:11
  You either accept the word of God or you reject it.
• 33:15
  Rejecting it, eternal damnation.
• 33:18
  Acceptance of it, eternal salvation.
• 33:22
  So my point is this.
• 33:24
  When I share with you a few words today about how to handle certain situations in your life, and how you could turn the negative things in your life around to positive things, and who will help you get through the difficult times in your life, it's ultimately going to be up to you whether you believe that or not.
• 33:41
  You know, many people have asked me over and over again throughout my lifetime.
• 33:46
  Uh, how do you know there's a God?
• 33:48
  How do you know?
• 33:49
  Show me the proof.
• 33:51
  And they know what I tell them.
• 33:52
  I say, Well, how do you know there was a President George Washington or an Abraham Lincoln?
• 33:57
  How do you know that?
• 33:59
  And they tell me, Well, we've read about their lives in history books, we're taught about their lives.
• 34:04
  We've even seen some pictures of them, drawings of them, so there's enough evidence and proof there that they were around.
• 34:11
  And therein lies my answer to them when it comes to answering the question, show me there was a Jesus Christ.
• 34:19
  I tell them, well, there's a history book written about him, witnesses that saw him, individuals that spoke to him and then wrote about him.
• 34:28
  And that book is the Holy Bible.
• 34:30
  So tell me the difference between a history book called the Holy Bible and a history book that contains the biographies of Abe Lincoln, George Washington, and the rest of anybody else who lived on the earth before I got here.
• 34:43
  You see my point, folks?
• 34:45
  There's enough evidence.
• 34:47
  There's enough evidence in word and indeed written in history books about this man called Jesus, God Almighty, the Holy Bible.
• 34:59
  I want to speak to you today about a topic that uh many people shy away from, sometimes too embarrassing to talk about, but nonetheless, every single one of us at some point in our lives suffer from what I'm about to share with you, including yours truly, by the way.
• 35:15
  I am not immune to a lot of the issues that I discuss with you with regard to the impact it has on our lives, and with regard to what the word of God has to say about it.
• 35:26
  And that topic is loneliness.
• 35:29
  My goodness, it is a very, very lonely world out there.
• 35:33
  When my wife and I travel and we go to and fro, I look around, she also we look at people, and we think to ourselves because we talk about this quite often, therein lies a lonely soul.
• 35:46
  And many, many times, and I've shared this with you over and over again.
• 35:50
  Many times I will approach them just to say hello.
• 35:53
  Or maybe pick up a dinner tab if they're sitting alone eating.
• 35:57
  Boy, I'll tell you that's one thing that I I just don't like to see is a person, especially an elderly person eating alone in a diner.
• 36:06
  No one to talk to.
• 36:08
  They don't have cell phones like younger folks do.
• 36:11
  Maybe today a lot of them do because over the years they've adapted to it, but I've seen a lot of elderly people alone.
• 36:18
  No one talking to them, just sitting, staring and eating.
• 36:23
  So look, if you see somebody like that in a diner, why not just say hello?
• 36:27
  Very, very lonely world.
• 36:29
  And you never know what's going through the minds of people.
• 36:33
  Maybe they just lost a loved one.
• 36:35
  Maybe they're going through a difficult time with their kids.
• 36:38
  I mean, who knows?
• 36:39
  But every single one of us, and again, I say, including yours truly, suffered a period of loneliness.
• 36:45
  And there'll be times when that will come in the future.
• 36:48
  It's inevitable.
• 36:51
  Because we do not live forever.
• 36:54
  Get my point, folks.
• 36:56
  Get my point.
• 36:58
  I'm certain I just got everybody's attention, especially yours.
• 37:04
  But let me be honest with you.
• 37:05
  Each of us has experienced a pain and sadness, distress, and depression of loneliness.
• 37:13
  Over time, I've observed the absence of numerous family members, of friends, of neighbors, of colleagues, and others with whom I previously had associations with.
• 37:24
  That's right.
• 37:26
  Think about what I just said.
• 37:28
  Look around.
• 37:29
  Are the friends you grew up with around anymore?
• 37:33
  Are all your family members now visiting you, calling you, seeing how you're doing, picking up the phone, hey, how are you doing?
• 37:40
  Are you calling them back?
• 37:42
  The people you worked with.
• 37:44
  In fact, a good part of your life if you had a long career in a specific company.
• 37:50
  Are they still around?
• 37:52
  Hmm.
• 37:53
  Chilling, distressing, and depressing when you think about it.
• 37:58
  Now, I'm not suggesting that you should do this often, because I caught myself doing this over a period of time too often, and I worked myself up into a depression.
• 38:07
  Yeah, I did.
• 38:09
  Even sometimes, even talking about this now.
• 38:11
  A little little bit, a little tiny bit of wow.
• 38:15
  Where are we going with this?
• 38:18
  But it's a part of life.
• 38:20
  Some people we love and we cherished and we work with and we played with.
• 38:25
  Some of them moved away.
• 38:27
  Others found new careers and moved on.
• 38:30
  And sadly to say, many have passed on to eternity.
• 38:36
  I always reflect on what my mother used to tell me.
• 38:39
  In fact, I reflect as I say that.
• 38:41
  I dreaded a day when I would be saying, hey, you know what my mother said to me last week?
• 38:46
  And see that we've reached a point in time where now I'm saying what my mother used to say to me.
• 38:53
  Well, my mother who passed away last year at the age of 99.
• 38:58
  That's right.
• 38:59
  She lived to 99 years of age.
• 39:02
  She once told me to always enjoy your family.
• 39:06
  Take every minute to enjoy your family.
• 39:07
  Sacrifice no time away from your family when you can.
• 39:12
  And she also included the dog.
• 39:14
  My mother loved dogs.
• 39:15
  She had a dog up until she uh a year before she passed away.
• 39:20
  Spent a lot of time with that little fellow.
• 39:23
  But she said, spend time with all of them.
• 39:26
  And spend time with the people you know today, who you love, who you cherish, who you work with, who you have laugh with.
• 39:33
  Because there will come a day, said mom, that they will not be around anymore.
• 39:40
  Hmm.
• 39:41
  I listened to what she said, didn't think much of it at the time she said it, but I must tell you, as time moved on, and I got older and began to see the toll that life was taking on many of these people, I realized exactly what she meant when she was saying that to me.
• 40:02
  The wisdom, the Bible says, listen to the wisdom of those who have gray crowns.
• 40:08
  Well, gray hair.
• 40:11
  Listen to those people.
• 40:13
  My mom at 99 had a heck of a lot of gray hair.
• 40:17
  But boy, what a lot of wisdom.
• 40:19
  A lot of truth to the Bible.
• 40:21
  Believe me.
• 40:23
  So you know what happened over a period of time?
• 40:25
  Each year, our family, yep, we gather together, like many of you listening.
• 40:31
  During Easter, Christmas, a handful of other holidays, and uh during times we had barbecues, maybe in the summertime.
• 40:38
  In the early part of our days, we did that.
• 40:41
  We did it as kids when mom and dad brought us up, even before that.
• 40:44
  And remember in Brooklyn, New York.
• 40:46
  Every Wednesday and Sunday, go to grandma's house.
• 40:49
  She's making a meatballs, spaghetti, pizza, a little little apartment in Brooklyn, New York, in Bay Ridge.
• 40:55
  Yeah, we were all gathered together as a family.
• 40:59
  I remember those days.
• 41:02
  The moms and dads, they kind of went off in their own things.
• 41:05
  I remember all the women went in one room, but the fathers and grandpa's in another room, and the kids were out playing.
• 41:13
  But we knew, we knew that we were all together as one big family.
• 41:19
  And we've had our problems.
• 41:21
  We've had our difficulties in life, but we all came together, prayed together, work with each other through a lot of the difficult times.
• 41:26
  And sometimes, even then, back then, there were periods of loneliness.
• 41:32
  Yep, I remember those days.
• 41:36
  So over time, I would glance at our dining room table in particularly, because that's where most of the times we gathered.
• 41:44
  And I began to realize that with every passing year, another seat was left empty, no longer filled by a beloved relative.
• 41:55
  Each year, as time went on, the table that once held brothers and sisters and sons and daughters and grandchildren and parents and grandparents, even a little spot to put the little dog.
• 42:08
  Well, each year passed, and therein lies a number of seats were empty.
• 42:16
  So why were they empty, folks?
• 42:19
  Well, the cycle of life, right?
• 42:22
  They became empty because, as I said earlier, some of them moved away far from the rest of the family.
• 42:28
  Uh our children do that, right?
• 42:30
  They get married, they go to college, they go in the military.
• 42:34
  Others had jobs that required them to be away from home on the holidays.
• 42:38
  Police officers, doctors, nurses.
• 42:42
  Others were serving our country in the military.
• 42:45
  And again, others had passed into eternity.
• 42:49
  That's probably the toughest one to swallow.
• 42:51
  Because those who've moved away and went away to other states or other places to live.
• 42:55
  You can pick up the phone or now the internet with all these gadgets that you have where you could actually see them through a uh a screen.
• 43:04
  You could do that.
• 43:06
  But once someone passes on, well, can't see them, could you?
• 43:11
  You could you could try your best to remember them, and maybe we we go to a cemetery or memorial.
• 43:19
  But it's tough, right?
• 43:20
  Yeah, it's it's tough.
• 43:21
  It's difficult.
• 43:22
  I remember when my mother passed away.
• 43:24
  I reflect on her a lot.
• 43:25
  My father too, the first Father's Day, the first Christmas, the first Easter.
• 43:29
  Maybe some of you listening now are facing that very thing, the first time with that seat, that mom and dad, that son or daughter, or that someone you loved, or even your little beloved pet, that that place that that pet stood is empty.
• 43:45
  Loneliness.
• 43:46
  What a tough, tough battle as a human being.
• 43:50
  A tough challenge that we have.
• 43:52
  Loneliness.
• 43:54
  But I always told my mother when she was alive, and she always told me when she was alive.
• 44:00
  She said, Son, you're gonna learn that mom was always right.
• 44:04
  As a side note, my mother's last words to me were, and I really mean her very last breath to me.
• 44:11
  She said, I know I'm going to die.
• 44:15
  So I want you to know that after I die, I will always remember you.
• 44:20
  Wow.
• 44:22
  To this day and for the rest of my life, I will remember those words.
• 44:25
  And I remember saying to her, Mom, it is never a goodbye.
• 44:31
  I'll always remember you, and I'll see you later.
• 44:35
  So, yep, we have very lonely times in our life, and I know and believe with all my heart that somebody out there, and it could be you who's listening right now, you may have tears rolling down your eyes right now.
• 44:50
  Tears of what?
• 44:52
  Yep, tears of loneliness, but at the same time, tears of knowing that somebody, and I'm not talking about me now, that somebody heard your prayer, sees your heart, knows your loneliness, and right now they are answering you.
• 45:11
  And who is answering you?
• 45:13
  The guy that said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
• 45:17
  The guy that said, I will stick closer to you than a brother.
• 45:22
  And that guy happens to be Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.
• 45:29
  Now, apart from family, I can occasionally receive phone calls from friends informing me that, yep, someone had passed away.
• 45:37
  I'm sure you've done that.
• 45:38
  My goodness, how many times over the years I've seen people buy newspapers, not to read the news, but to read the obituaries.
• 45:47
  Who died today?
• 45:48
  Who died last week?
• 45:50
  I've had friends over years who retired from work.
• 45:53
  They pick up the phone and call me, and I knew what they were going to talk about.
• 45:57
  Joe died, Sam died, Nancy died, Mary died.
• 46:00
  When's the wake?
• 46:01
  When's this?
• 46:01
  When's that?
• 46:03
  But I tell you, these calls drove me into deep depression at times when I realized that everybody around me is dying, and I'm hoping that one day they're not going to pick up a paper to find my obituary.
• 46:15
  But you know, that's reality.
• 46:17
  That's gonna happen.
• 46:19
  I hope later and pray later rather than sooner.
• 46:21
  I got too much work to do here on earth, but that's up to him, not up to me.
• 46:27
  But I'm sure you get the point.
• 46:29
  These notifications deeply affect us, particularly when a person was a friend, not just a family member, but a friend who had significantly influenced our lives.
• 46:42
  We don't have many friends in this world, folks, a lot of acquaintances.
• 46:45
  I know you know what I'm talking about.
• 46:48
  A lot of people we know, a lot of people know us, but how many can we really call a friend?
• 46:55
  Everybody, everybody goes through this.
• 46:58
  But especially during loneliness, there's a part of life that we should consider to help us through such tough times.
• 47:06
  That's right.
• 47:07
  We'll talk to people, we'll cry, we'll weep alone or cry and weep on a person's shoulder.
• 47:13
  And there are many, many people who have had to go to therapy to deal with it, and that's okay.
• 47:18
  You need to talk to someone.
• 47:21
  You might need a professional who knows exactly how they can lead you through this difficult time.
• 47:26
  That's why God made these therapists and psychologists and psychiatrists and all people with different times of gifts and talents that God gave them is to help his creation get through tough times.
• 47:37
  So if you're in that particular situation, go.
• 47:41
  Go to a church pastor, go to a priest, go to a man or woman of God who knows that Bible.
• 47:47
  Add the word of God to your arsenal of weapons against loneliness, to your medicine cabinet full of medicine to deal with depression and distress.
• 48:01
  And go to people, as I've said over and over again many times, who you're led to.
• 48:06
  The therapist, the psychologist, whoever, whatever.
• 48:09
  Don't let anyone ever tell you you shouldn't go for help if the Lord is leading you to a particular individual or professional to help you.
• 48:18
  The Bible says faith without works is dead.
• 48:20
  Do you get people out there?
• 48:21
  Oh, just you know, just read the Bible, read that, and God will take care of everything.
• 48:25
  Well, I've got news for them.
• 48:27
  When you read the Bible, it talks about, yeah, have faith, trust in him, trust in his word, trust in his guidance, have faith in him that he will lead you in the right direction.
• 48:36
  And he's gonna lead you to someone, maybe, just maybe lead you to someone that's gonna help you.
• 48:41
  So you don't reject any help coming your way.
• 48:45
  Let's pray about it.
• 48:46
  Pray that God is gonna lead you in the right direction to deal with loneliness, and he's will.
• 48:52
  The Bible says, Show me thy way, teach me thy path, oh Lord.
• 48:56
  I pray that prayer every single day.
• 49:00
  But we all go through this.
• 49:01
  We cannot escape it.
• 49:04
  That's the part of life that I speak about.
• 49:08
  All of us knowing and understanding that we are never alone.
• 49:11
  You need to know that.
• 49:13
  We are never alone.
• 49:15
  You are not alone right now.
• 49:16
  You may be on your way to work.
• 49:19
  You may be on your way home.
• 49:21
  You may be alone right now, literally, but I'm talking about the deep alone feeling of your stomach, your heart, your soul, your spirit.
• 49:28
  You may think you're alone because something traumatic has happened in your life.
• 49:33
  You are not alone.
• 49:35
  I will stick closer to you than a brother.
• 49:38
  Guess who said that?
• 49:40
  Jesus Christ.
• 49:41
  He's always there.
• 49:43
  He'll be there with you, even if you turn your back on him and walk away and haven't talked with him for all the years of your life.
• 49:49
  If you're ready, willing and able to talk to him now, he is ready, willing, and able to listen to you now, and will open up his arms to you and say, Come on, come on, let's go for a walk.
• 49:58
  Let's talk.
• 50:00
  You're not alone.
• 50:02
  We tend to forget that there's a God above, who loves us, loves you, and who is by your side through thick and thin.
• 50:10
  Especially through very lonely times, believe me, folks, through very, very lonely times.
• 50:17
  We all need a friend.
• 50:19
  We all need someone we could really trust.
• 50:22
  He said when he left this earth, I'm talking about Jesus Christ.
• 50:25
  When he left this earth, he said, Look it, I'm going.
• 50:29
  I'm going to my Father.
• 50:31
  And he said that to the disciples and others.
• 50:33
  You know why?
• 50:34
  Because he knew that when he left, they would reach a point in time where they would become very lonely.
• 50:40
  Imagine walking around with Jesus all the time of his ministry.
• 50:45
  Watching him heal people.
• 50:47
  Encourage people, lift them up, heal the lepers, open up the eyes of the blind, part the sea.
• 50:55
  I mean, do all kinds of things that absolutely astonish them.
• 50:59
  They knew they had a friend in him.
• 51:01
  They knew that walking with him was joy unspeakable.
• 51:05
  Tough times, yeah.
• 51:07
  Could you imagine when Peter denied him?
• 51:10
  Not once, not twice, but three times.
• 51:12
  We know the story there.
• 51:13
  The Bible goes on to say, for a long time Peter was very lonely.
• 51:17
  Oh, he was very lonely.
• 51:19
  He broke his own heart.
• 51:21
  But then Jesus said, Don't worry about it, Pete.
• 51:23
  Don't worry about it.
• 51:24
  I know you're human.
• 51:25
  I am here.
• 51:27
  I am here in spirit.
• 51:30
  I am here.
• 51:32
  And you know what?
• 51:33
  He's here in spirit today for you.
• 51:35
  As I say over and over again and reminded you in the past, if you listen to my broadcast when he left, what did he say to him?
• 51:42
  I just said that there.
• 51:43
  He said, I am going to be with my father, but I send you another comforter.
• 51:51
  Woo, the Holy Spirit of God.
• 51:54
  I believe in this spiritual world, folks.
• 51:57
  I believe in a spiritual world called heaven.
• 52:00
  I believe in angels.
• 52:01
  I believe in all that.
• 52:03
  It's written in the Bible.
• 52:04
  I don't believe in that other crazy stuff with these psychics and all these clairvoyants and all that.
• 52:09
  They're from the pit of hell.
• 52:10
  Stay away from that.
• 52:11
  That's my opinion, my view.
• 52:13
  The Bible's very clear on that.
• 52:14
  You don't want to fall into that.
• 52:16
  I've had so many people tell me I'm alone on this, on that, I'm going to go to a psychic, a palm reader.
• 52:21
  I got to see what's going to happen.
• 52:22
  The only thing that's going to happen is you're going to dip into your pocket, and you're going to pay somebody to lead you to the gate of hell and away from the gate of heaven.
• 52:32
  And let me add this too.
• 52:40
  Not as much as I did on TV.
• 52:43
  Oh boy, they're out there.
• 52:44
  Pray this, pray that, do this, do that.
• 52:46
  God will heal you.
• 52:47
  God will take you through times of loneliness.
• 52:49
  God will uh mend your wounds of your heart, soul, and spirit, and then it's followed up with, but don't forget to give a hundred dollars.
• 52:56
  Don't forget to get to give 50 dollars.
• 52:58
  Or how about this?
• 52:59
  We've got some holy water here from the uh the uh Jordan River or whatever.
• 53:03
  Stay away from that again in my view.
• 53:06
  Oh no.
• 53:07
  Christ doesn't put a price on his blessings to you.
• 53:11
  And one big blessing he has ready for you is to help you out of this state of loneliness that you suffer from time to time or are suffering nine.
• 53:20
  And now, and by the way, it comes free of charge for you.
• 53:24
  You know why?
• 53:26
  Because he paid the price on that cross.
• 53:29
  Yes, for the forgiveness of sins, so that we may reap the blessings of the promises that he gave us when he was here on earth and when he left this earth.
• 53:41
  And one of those promises are I will be with you always, even until the end of time.
• 53:48
  What about this?
• 53:50
  What about this, folks?
• 53:51
  What about uh Jesus praying in the garden of Gosemone, letting his father know that he was very lonely.
• 53:58
  Remember, when he was in that garden praying and weeping, saying, Lord, if you could let this uh cup pass from me, please do so, but thy will be done.
• 54:06
  Wow.
• 54:07
  There was nobody coming to his rescue.
• 54:09
  Nobody at all, folks.
• 54:12
  He was human, he was lonely.
• 54:15
  And God saw it through, even on the cross, when he said, Father, why have you forsaken me?
• 54:21
  Wow.
• 54:22
  Talk about loneliness.
• 54:24
  Talk about loneliness.
• 54:26
  Father, why have you forsaken me, but your will be done?
• 54:30
  And that's our prayer when we're in states of loneliness.
• 54:33
  Father, I don't understand this, I'm weeping, I'm crying, I'm depressed, I'm this, I'm that.
• 54:38
  He understands.
• 54:38
  And just calm down, settle down, and just lift, lift your heart, soul, and spirit up to the heavens and say, Please help me.
• 54:45
  Help will come.
• 54:48
  In fact, help is on the way now.
• 54:51
  Remember this, folks?
• 54:53
  I'm sure that you remember what was said regarding the uh the footprints.
• 54:58
  Remember that poem that saying, the point is this.
• 55:04
  God, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit has never left our side.
• 55:08
  He will never leave your side, never leave you alone.
• 55:11
  In fact, it is us who leave him at times.
• 55:13
  But you're phone, if you're alone right now at this hour, I want you to remember these words.
• 55:17
  I know many of you have heard these words before, but it's worth sharing with them again with you.
• 55:23
  One night I dreamed a dream, as I was walking along the beach with my Lord, across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
• 55:31
  For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
• 55:38
  After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
• 55:43
  I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.
• 55:52
  That really troubled me.
• 55:54
  So I asked the Lord about it.
• 55:56
  Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.
• 56:00
  But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints.
• 56:06
  I don't understand why.
• 56:08
  When I needed you most, you should leave me.
• 56:11
  He whispered, My precious child, I love you and will never leave you.
• 56:15
  Never ever during your trials and testings.
• 56:17
  When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
• 56:24
  Isaiah 41, 10, my friends, fear not, for I am with you.
• 56:28
  Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
• 56:30
  I will strengthen you, I will help you.
• 56:32
  I will uphold you with my righteous hands.
• 56:36
  Turn around, look down at those footprints in the sand of your life.
• 56:39
  When you see only one set, know that he's the fellow who said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
• 56:47
  God bless you.
