2:44
special guests on tonight. But I like to begin always with a positive quote.
2:50
And the quote i'm using I'm taking from the Bible. There's a time
2:53
to begin, and there's a time to end. Think about that. There's
2:57
a time to start something and then there's a time to say goodbye. All
3:00
good things might come to an end. So tonight we have a special guest,
3:04
someone that is dear to my heart. What can I say about this
3:07
awesome man of God. He's our brother, He's an a possible. He's
3:09
a bishop, man of God. He's a father for Oh my God,
3:15

3:20
chef in his own right. Listen, this man of God can cook,
3:23
he cleans, oh my God, you name it. He's a serial entrepreneur.
3:29
I love everything about him, even to the fact that he even been

3:37
He's been doing great things in his community. So I'm gonna present the

4:04
and tonight as a special show because tonight is my last night of doing
4:10
this podcast. Um to health reasons, I must um step away and focus
4:16
on my um um focus on my health. So I called on a surprise
4:21
host on tonight. I'm introducing him in a second because I gotta take it
4:26
back to where it started. I gotta take it back to where it begins.
4:30
And do you know how me and my husband met, sir? I
4:35
have no idea, Sir. We met September September twenty ten at your church
4:46
in Fayetville, Siletown, above a loft or something I forget. I was
4:53
with the Stuffs conference and he was not my husband at the time. But
5:00
we met at your church. So what better way to end my show than
5:04
with the two men that are important to me to do it the course of
5:09
you at your at your church that I met my husband. Of course he
5:14
didn't. I'm mad at you to remember that. I was like, you
5:16
don't remember me. He does not remember me at all. You know me
5:21
through Apostle Adolf More. We know we met through the step. So tonight,
5:30
as you see, I'm coughing, I was diagnosed with lung disease,
5:33
and we're trusting God, we're praising God, we're believing Gods that we ain't
5:39
having no pity parties over here. Please don't no one calling me after this
5:41
like, oh my god, listen, listen, listen. I just said
5:44
that, So no one gonna think, oh she coughing, no crazy,
5:46
no no. So that's why I called on your brother, my brother,
5:50
to be the co host on tonight. So, doctor Adolf More, are
5:55
you there, front and center, front and center. You guys have been
6:03
chatted You guys have been chatting up a storm that stage. So listen.
6:12
The last time I called them um to be the surprise hole, he said,
6:15
listen, just just just let me take over the driving where and let
6:18
grown folks talk. So I'm gonna continue. I'm gonna pass the well back
6:23
to you. Apploist to Aidolph More. He did not remember how we met
6:29
in twenty ten, but it would be three years later that he crept into
6:32
my inbox as if he didn't remember me, but I knew exactly who he
6:36
was. Come on, look at God. So listen here we are about
6:42
to celebrate ten years of marriage in September. In September, I'm sorry on
6:46
December. So I'm gonna shut up and get out the way, and I'm
6:50
gonna allow my special co host to interview you on tonight's Apostle More is in
6:57
your hands. You gotta go ahead, all right, let's go, let's
7:01
go. Let's not waste no time, all right. So my brother,
7:09
Archbishop apostle doctor. I know you don't care about all that, but I
7:15
just want to salute you and celebrate all the accomplishments that you have made and
7:23
the fact that you're you're in a politician and you I think you were running
7:28
from me to the council or some of those things. So let me ask
7:32
you this first number one, I'm gonna ask you two questions, maybe three,
7:38
but number one, why isn't why is it important to know what political
7:46
party you belong to? In two, why is it important? Did you?
7:54
Why is it important to you? Did you want to make a difference
7:58
in the city. Let me let me kind of answer those in reverse.
8:03
Um, let me answer those reverse, um, why I want to make
8:09
a difference in the city. A lot of people when we look at politicians
8:13
and we look at politics, we have a tendency to focus on the national
8:16
or even the state level. But the truth of the matter is your your
8:20
kitchen table issues, the stuff that affects you right now, your day to
8:24
day life is affected on the local level. And sow what what national and
8:30
state politicians are very good at is deflecting your attention from the local level so
8:35
that you can focus on them, while really what's destroying your everyday life is
8:41
happening at your local city council, is happening at your local county commission,
8:46
is happening at your local school board. And they don't want you to focus
8:50
on that. They want you to focus on stuff that that won't affect you
8:54
for another fifteen twenty years. And the truth of the matter is the stuff
8:58
that legislation that gets passed on the state and the national level. Local officials,
9:07
your city council, your mayors, your your county commissioners, your school
9:11
board members, they have the ability to say no, so they don't have
9:16
to go along with what is dictated from the state and the federal level.
9:22
We saw this during COVID. During the height of COVID, many states and
9:28
many local municipalities said, we're not following the lockdown orders. Why. Because
9:33
America is a federalist society. The federal government has a very limited amount of
9:37
power. They do not have as much authority and power as they pretend to
9:43
have. What gives them the power is the fact that many people, and
9:50
I'll just be blunt with it, many people are ignorant to the fact that
9:52
they really don't have that much power anyway, and so we get so focused.
10:00
I'm gonna get to you to your first question. Next. I was
10:01
talking to a young man the other day, uh, and we were talking
10:05
about voting and voting for president. I said, you do realize that you
10:11
do not elect the president. What you mean, your vote does not elect
10:16
the president of the United States. The president of the United States is elected
10:20
by the electoral College. That that is the only body constitutionally that elects the
10:26
president. When we vote in a presidential election, we are saying to the
10:30
electoral college that this is the way that we would like you to vote.
10:35
This is the guy or gal that we would like you to vote for for
10:41
president. But the electoral college is under no constitutional obligation to go with the
10:48
will of the people. The people can vote for one and the electoral college
10:52
can say, mmm, I don't like them. We're voting Some were voting
10:56
for this guy over here. And so the gentleman, he said, well,
11:00
why don't we vote for the electoral college? I said, you do
11:03
when you elect your state representatives, your senators, and your state reps.
11:07
They are the ones who select and appoint the delegates that go to the electoral
11:13
college that vote for the president. So if you really want to affect change
11:20
on that level, again, it starts more so locally than it does on
11:24
a national level. UM. And so now I doesn't forgot what your first
11:30
question was, but political party. Now, when it comes to your political
11:37
party and why you should why why is it important to know which political party
11:41
you are you you ascribe to? UM? It is important because political parties
11:48
since their inception, uh have played am especially in the black community. Come
11:54
on, in the black community. Most black people don't know that the first
12:01
black congressional reps. First, the first black members of Congress were Republicans.
12:09
They were Republicans. Martin Luther King Junior a Republican. Many of our civil
12:16
rights leaders were Republicans. And many people don't realize this, and so they
12:24
a lot of time, people will people vote, people go And I've learned
12:28
this in politics. People will go into the voting booth. They don't care
12:31
who's on there as long as they got a D, especially black vote.
12:33
You gotta D behind your name. I'm gonna just check the box. And
12:37
I had to tell people during the campaign, be sure to check the candidate
12:41
before you check the box because black people are are historically conservative in our views.
12:48
Now there is a difference between being a conservative, being a liberal,
12:54
being a Republican and a Democrat. Republican and Democrat, that's the party,
13:01
that's the party. Conservative and liberal. Those are the values. So when
13:05
people ask me, are you a Republican, Yes, I'm a registered Republican,
13:09
but I am a conservative. Those are my values. Conservative values are
13:13
founded in Biblical principle. If you look at the Democrat Party, you know,
13:20
if you look at the Democrat Party, historically, the Democrat Party has
13:24
always pushed an agenda that has been anti theatrical, and it has been anti
13:31
God, it has been anti Christ, it has been anti Bible. When
13:35
you look at what they're pushing down there there, you know it's Pride Month.
13:41
You know, the Bible says before pride comes a fall. And so
13:46
we when we look at Pride Month, what what are we proud? We're
13:50
proud of the fact that that men are changing the natural use as the Bible
13:56
says. And so the Democrat Party is pushing the suggestion you can't listen you
14:01
and this is this is me answering your question. You cannot turn on a
14:07
TV show now without having two men kissing two women kissing on some same sex
14:13
agenda shoved down you and your children's mind. It's just it just doesn't happen
14:18
anymore because there's an agenda behind all of this. And so when you go
14:22
to the to the polls to vote, I would hope the problem, Now
14:26
this is a hope, this is not a reality. I would hope that
14:30
you would vote your faith. The problem is Black folk don't vote their faith.
14:37
They vote their family. So however my family goes, is how I'm
14:43
going. I ain't got to know nothing about him, you know, And
14:48
so I'm trying to I'm trying to hold myself here. But even when you
14:52
look at when you look at the president that we have now, black vote
14:58
ran out and voted for him, even after even after hearing him with his
15:03
own mouth say that he didn't want his kids growing up in a racial jungle,
15:07
going to school with black kids. But they still voted for Why Because
15:11
that's how family voted. And so I don't want to go against family,
15:15
even though this goes against my fundamental belief, and it goes against my faith,
15:20
you know. Um, So it is important that you know that you
15:24
know your history and the history of the party that you're voting with, because
15:30
historically the Democrat Party has never been for black people. Never, it never
15:33
has. So that takes me to another another question. Okay, so you
15:39
hit on everything for the most part. I wish we had an hour because
15:43
it's a lot of speak. But I say this every almost every Sunday or
15:48
Thursday in life and rasement about how social media and society is these sense of
15:56
tides and us word, it's mazing. You think it's okay to see to
16:02
me and kissing two women kissing, It's okay. They have a polyander whatever
16:07
lifestyle where the man you have ten wives, and it's okay to all this
16:15
steal from it exactly, m dude. The parties you choose to underline the
16:25
hidden, the hidden things, so you have to really research and search.
16:30
Just like if we study all bibble to show that ourselves be foom, we
16:33
got to study and see. Just don't don't vote for him because Mama del
16:40
Randma dem what democrats and I'm a I'm a Democrat to know, do your
16:45
due diligence and read, study, see what they are about. Lastly,
16:52
if you're a man or woman of God, so my next thing to you
16:56
was this being that you're a man of God. How does that um alter
17:04
your judgment direct you in the pair the un politically, one thing that I've
17:14
always said is that I will not allow politics to uh, to cause me
17:21
to lose my values, to to stir me away. UH. We got
17:26
a lot of ministers on the city council here, and when you look at
17:30
how they vote, they clearly don't vote their faith. They vote their base.
17:37
And when they're when they're going after certain policies, they're voting the way
17:41
their base wants them to go. And it's happening even in the church.
17:45
What I have tried to do is when when when I ran for counsel in
17:48
twenty seventeen and when I ran this last election cycle for mayor, I said,
17:53
even if I don't win, one thing you will know at the end
17:57
of the day is that I ran my race, and I ran my campaign
18:00
with integrity, and I held fast to the truths that and and to the
18:04
principle that God has put in me. And I'm not wavering. I don't
18:07
care who it offends. I don't care how you feel about it. I
18:11
don't care if you don't I got death threats. I got everything, but
18:14
I wasn't budget. I wasn't not budget because because what does it profit a
18:22
man to gain the whole world and lose his soul. So I'm gonna I'm
18:26
gonna sell out my faith and sell out my salvation for a term on the
18:30
city council, term as mayor. No, no, no, there is
18:34
an eternal reward that I'm focused on. And so you know, and and
18:41
and I'm I'm gonna touch on something you said a few minutes ago. You
18:45
know, people, when your people are going to the polls to vote,
18:48
stop voting for people just because they look like you. Come on, vote
18:52
for people who believe like you, who faith like you. I remember when
18:57
I ran for city council. A gentleman came up to me and he said
19:00
to me, he said you you you you j And to minor, I
19:03
said I he said you John might not said I am. He said,
19:07
um, he said, He said I would have voted for you, but
19:10
I didn't know you was black. He said, he said, you got
19:14
a white name, John, white name. He said, if I'd knew
19:18
you was black, I would have voted for you. My response, and
19:19
he was, you didn't do your research because this this face was everywhere.
19:25
Well you went based on the name and left it down. It's biship.
19:29
We got a couple of minutes. Let me ask you this, this last
19:33
question. Then we don't ask let people know how they didn't get in contact
19:36
with you. But my last question for you is this, And you kind
19:40
of texted, how hard is it being an African American Bill or man man
19:47
for that matter, and be a Republican? How hard is it? That's
19:51
a good one. It's hard. It is. You have to fight with
19:55
everything in you to hold your moral ground. But you have to be willing
20:00
to fight that fight, and you have to be willing to lose friends.
20:03
You gotta be. There's preachers that I used to go to their church all
20:07
the time, but when they found out that I was a Republican, they
20:11
don't invite me no more, they don't deal with me no more. And
20:12
my thing is, I never changed. I'm the same guy that used to
20:15
hoop in your pulpit. I didn't change. What changes Your perception of me
20:21
has changed? Because there was an image of me that you that you that
20:26
you caught up. But being a black Republican, being a black Republican who
20:30
is also a faith leader. It's hard because again in the faith community,
20:37
especially in the in the Black church, ninety five percent of Black churches are
20:45
are democrat or liberal and we see this even now. So you're fighting against
20:51
all of that. You're you're dealing with all of that, but you just
20:53
got to really hold I tell people all the time, you gotta hold the
20:56
line, that line apaus the hockey. People fire you on social media.
21:03
I know you got so much to say, and I would love to talk
21:06
to you another twenty thirty forty minutes, but our time is short. Letting
21:11
people know how they can fire you. What's the best way to get a
21:15
context so they can see more content from you, the easiest way to get
21:19
in touch with me? And thank you all for having me on the on
21:22
the podcast tonight and on the broadcast. It's definitely a blessing past the e.
21:26
I'm definitely praying for you, uh and we know that the prayers of
21:30
the righteous avail as much. Um. But you can find me on any
21:33
social media platform. At jay Antoine Minor that's j A n t o I
21:40
n E in my n R. At j ntoin minor that's TikTok Instagram.
21:45
I ain't got no only fans, so don't look for me now you know
21:48
I ain't got the fans page. But anywhere else clothes I thought, no,
21:56
no, I keeps my clothes on. Praise Jesus ain't here. You
22:02
ain't gonna get a little jiggle wiggle. But if all social media you can
22:08
find me at j N too minor um to me in boxman, let's commit
22:14
I write, Apostle, let you find the words I like to thank you,
22:18
sir. It meant so much to end my last show with you,
22:22
taking it back to where it started, and it started ten years ago at
22:26
your church in Fayettville. And listen, I think off for you. I
22:32
think after your ministry. I think off of the words you've spoken into my
22:34
life over my life. I think of being a brother, being a friend
22:37
to both Apostle and I. Because having not been for you, have I
22:41
not met you. Have I not took the faith to come down in twenty
22:45
ten. I was on a sabbatical, you know, I was there for
22:48
like not even a year. I would have never met the Man of God.
22:51
So I'm grateful to end this show where it all began. It began
22:56
with you the words you spoke into my life that I'm seeing the evidence of
23:00
it today is being manifested. Excuse me as being manifested today. And you
23:07
know we're believed. You know we have fed you look too. There's no
23:11
choice what, there's no pity, there's no pity party over here. Listen,
23:17
our mouth is siling. Listen. We trust God, we already prayed.
23:21
