In this fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants Monday night broadcast from Eagle Pass, I roll solo for a bit after a guest no-shows, then tag in our executive producer and friend, Wayne Rankin, for a wide-ranging, candid conversation. We catch up on Wayne’s recovery, ranch life in Washington state, homesteading wins, and how the rising cost of living, property taxes, and everyday expenses are hitting working families. From Epic City’s regulatory limbo in Texas to government shutdown chatter, DOJ headlines, and Israel-Gaza peace talk rumors, we sift through the noise, ask what’s really changing on the ground, and vent about taxation without representation. We close on faith, fellowship, and endurance—discussing prophetic signposts, the Christian walk, and the importance of staying the course, praying for the persecuted, and “occupying till He comes.” I share ways to support the show and keep us independent, thank our producers, and preview Tuesday’s “Do No Harm” episode with Svetlana from Ezra Healing. Whether you’re tuning in live on modern podcast apps or catching the replay, thanks for riding along on a very Monday Monday—happy trails until tomorrow.

And this transmission is coming to you at nineteen zero eight hours. Alright. Well, so we had a little bit of a hiccup here getting started. Got a little issue going on here.
Not sure how long of a stream we're gonna have tonight, due to the fact that, one of our guests, well, our our guest that was scheduled for tonight, has not yet arrived and, I think they might have flaked out on us. So but that's fine. That's okay. We do have other things that we can talk about.

Now also, up at the upper left corner of your screen or my left, your right, I'm not sure. I get confused with all that stuff. There's a QR code.
Alright. Now I hate doing this. I really do. It it it irks me beyond belief, and it it sets me off on a whole thing about taxes and and all that mess. So, that QR code is for a GoFundMe that I had set up. And the reason why we set that up was because, I was hit with an escrow shortage, and a ridiculous amount of escrow shortage, and they've given me about a month to come up with the lump sum payment to keep my mortgage payment affordable, or, I had to break it down into, payments over the next year or so, to, to cover the shortage, which will, if in effect, almost double almost double.
Need to be clear on that. Almost double my monthly mortgage payment. And if that happens, well, that's gonna seriously put an impact on what we're doing here and trying to do here with the show, because might have to go get an actual second job. You know, and, if I do that, then I'm not gonna be able to do the shows on a regular basis, and, everything that we've been building for the last year will be basically for nothing. So, if you have the means to do it, you can either donate to the show and all of that will everything every donation that we get is all going right to the GoFundMe. Or you can go to GoFundMe directly, which is using that QR code right up there, and, you could scan that and make a donation if you have the means to do it.
We appreciate it. Like I said, I hate asking for this stuff, and I hate reaching out for that. So, whatever you can do, we really do appreciate it. And, we'll talk more about that as the days go, but we did get a donation yesterday. So to the anonymous person who donated $100 yesterday, thank you so very much for that. We really do appreciate it. And, thank you. I just can't say it enough. Thank you so much. Alright. Let's see what else we got cooking here. Let's see. Alright. Well, since since our, since our guest, bailed on us, And we as always, we can always depend on our illustrious executive producer, Wayne Rankin, to jump on in here and join in and fill the gap. Wayne, how you doing, my brother?
[00:12:28] Unknown:
I got the call from the bullpen. Yes. You did, sir. Bring in that closer, brother.
[00:12:33] Unknown:
How you doing, bro? Out those Yankees.
[00:12:36] Unknown:
Are they about to get eliminated? I'm, you know, I'm not even up on baseball right now. I think the Toronto's outscored in, like, 24 of seven Oh, okay. Two games. So they're they're they're up. Yeah. No. I'm I'm I'm a closer or my setup, I'm not sure yet. So I got more questions this week about everything because I've been actually, I had to go to a chiropractor for my for my back, but I would be be before that, I was cutting a quarter wood. And for those people who are not familiar with the farm life or outdoor life, a quarter wood is eight feet long, four feet high, and four feet wide. So I got my second one. I have 10 more cords back in the pasture. I gotta cut the trees, then split them, and then haul them, but that's
[00:13:16] Unknown:
all winter long project. But I will have if I have two cords in, we're set for the winter. So picture those people's back in the woods, a little smoke going out the chimney. That's me. Beautiful. That's it's a beautiful image too. And, you know, and folks, like I've said before, I've been to I've been to his place, his ranch. And, it really is beautiful property, the lodge. It it really is a beautiful property, man. It it really is. Well, first of all, Washington state itself, despite its politics, is just a beautiful state. And, I remember when I was up there last, we were we were with, Sheriff McCroskey, and he he kept on referring it to God's backyard.
And, you know, and it it not far from the truth. Really not far from the truth.
[00:13:57] Unknown:
So We got the the new name, the the my wife is giving it the compound. The compound.
[00:14:02] Unknown:
The compound. Are are you hunkering down there, bro?
[00:14:05] Unknown:
We don't have to hunker. Like I said, joke the running joke was with COVID and stuff like that. Washington state was the forerunner of tele k. Totalitarian. Did I get it right? Totalitarian. Totalitarian. Okay. They were a forerunner for everything. They were literally you're gonna be ratting out your neighbors if you left the driveway. They're actually coming to that part of it all. So I told people, I go up there, like, modern people, and, you know, they're trying to wait me out and go They waited me out. There'd be skeletons out there going, man. I've got rock 10 more pounds here. You know? I mean, I don't last those boys forever, but that's I guess it's not the point. It's just the, last joke. Word on the street.
It was out there. We're called the governor here. Really? They some lawyers have said some of these taxes, some of these taxes are truly, truly unconstitutional. So he's got 42 new taxes. Him and the, You know why what happened? They did let the Republicans vote.
[00:15:01] Unknown:
How did they do that?
[00:15:03] Unknown:
I do not know. That's word on the street. They did an in session overnight thing or whatever. It's it's it's such a sham, this whole state, politics is, but it's catching up with them. I think even some of the the moderate libs, not your psycho libs, call them what you want. The moderate ones are going, you know, I work for a living too, and, you know, you know, this is affecting me and some of the programs that, you know, I'm involved with. Yeah. So it's it's, we have the highest gas right now. And like I said, property taxes, everything's that are they have tax, ball tickets, movie tickets, parking, wherever you park, this thing. If you need something, I bet you they taxed it. Ball games, just everything entertainment's been taxed, social been taxed, parks have been taxed, machine license, hunting license, which I'm involved with, taxes. So, maybe the maybe the the citizens will get restless. The neighbors will get restless. But, actually, I don't I've been out in the woods so much this week. I don't even know what's going on. So you have to fill me in with some stuff other than Britain wants a mandatory ID real ID, or is it or is it electric? It's a digital ID. To get work or what have you. Yep. What if nobody showed up for work?
What if everybody said, oh, we weren't gonna go? Everybody. I mean, I'm just trying to figure that one out. And then I read, if you're gonna come visit Europe, you have to hit it. It's just what I'm reading. I'm not saying it's the gospel or anything like that. Like I said, I'm more into asking what's going on because I've been away from electronics, which is I think everybody should do that. I'm trying to do it one day one day a week. It's a lesson for sure. Yeah. I'm trying to do, like, as much like, twelve hours, no phone, no nothing. You know, head out in the morning and cut wood and feed chickens and all this and go to gardening.
And I'm going, wow. My brain feels a lot better there. You know what I mean? How many Charlie Kirk conspiracy things can I read in one day?
[00:16:55] Unknown:

That's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there we're very happy that it was a you had a biopsy for cancer

Yeah. And it came back negative, clear. That's isn't it funny how they change words like, it's a ranking? The results are negative. No. No. I thought it'd be positive. Yes. I'll let, you know, wording is different. Sure. It's like Yeah. It's negative. It's not good, is it? I live in that world, you know, like, kinda my as my wife says, at 12, she she goes, it is the greatest thing that you do live at twelve because the Lord said, you know, enter Evan as a child. And I keep that. I keep that going. Yeah. And I've seen a a biography of Steve McQueen who accepted the Lord Jesus Christ before his passing. The great video on that. It's about him and Billy Graham getting together. And really, Steve said, if I could have done anything, I've done it all. This guy did it all. Mhmm. I mean, he had everything that anybody could ever want. He did the biggest movies, mud bikes that would everything of the world. He said, if I could have redid it all, I would have spoke about Christ.
Amen. Good for him. But, his last wife said, he was like a child, a 12 year old when he was around kids. I go, yeah. I got it. So that's what my wife is saying today. She's going, she she she our eyes watered, and she smiled at the same time. That's what I got from her response. That's good. That's good. As you can see, my frame is put together for my green screen, but it has wrinkles in it. So she went and bought me a thing to unwrinkle it. Okay. So I'm gonna get it all done. By Wednesday, I told her I'm gonna get this thing going, but, we are at a point where, we're she did literally, if you looked at the picture, she was doing her and her mother did 50 quarts of apples and tomatoes and everything, and I'm cutting wood kind of like homesteading.
You know? We we kinda we do that, and it's just because that's the way I like to eat. I I I Ezra Healing, I can under I I'm right up her alley, man, the way I eat. Like I said, should check out elk out of the woods.

I just it's called Tarn. I gotta get this wood done, Joe. I know it sounds I know. I have to get this my car. I'll have the What I find amazing about you though I'm gonna interrupt you. What I what I find amazing about you is that Yeah. Is that you after you you you just had surgery. Yeah. And and it wasn't exactly I mean, it's a biopsy and and they're they're kinda commonplace these days and, you know, but there's still problems and conditions, or or or or, complications to it. And you just had this. You were in a car accident two months ago, where you got banged up pretty bad. Now you had this and you're already out there cutting up wood, working your land.
You're insane.
[00:19:52] Unknown:
Holly would world bear after she Rosanna has her past this. She she she like I said, she has the coolest lion in the world. She used to ride horse in the town, but they had horses and all that stuff and fencing. That's hard work. All of it is. Any type of farming, ranching, it doesn't matter. And she says she says, I married two 30 year olds. I mean, you're you're you're relentless on this. And I think the biopsy, yeah, I'm not gonna get too graphic, but, let's just say there's some blood in the issue, and that kind of freaked both of us out. So Sure. Yeah. But it it really felt like the first twenty four hours.
Ouch. That's all I'm gonna say is ouch. But, like I said, the test had to get done. We move on. As I told my pastor, the race continues. That's it. The race does continue. Gotta keep on moving. And, I'm gonna start spreading the GoFundMe around, and we get that going here and and and and start telling some people what to to pass it on pass it on. But, so what is going on? What what have I really missed in the past four or five days? No Fox News, no no news, no Alex Jones. I've just been away from all of it. I mean, all I can hear is just some of the that the ax hitting the lumber.
[00:20:58] Unknown:
I'm all tangled up in my my cables here. Okay. All fouled up. So what isn't going on in in in the news these days? What happened with Texas and the Muslims? Something out there. Something about a Muslim situation. Because Dearborn, Michigan, where my sister lives right by, they're doing prayer to call five times a day now. Yeah. So there there's there's a a community trying to sprout up, I think it's in the Dallas area, called EPIC. I'm not sure what it stands for. It's an abbreviation of something, but, it's it's called they call it Epic City, and you have to be Muslim to live there and to and to work there and to be a part of that community and so on and so forth. The the last I knew of it was to be honest with you, I kinda lost truck lost track of it, you know, once because that was popping off right before we started doing all the guest segments, so I was a little bit more in the loop on it. But since we're doing all the guest segments, I kind of drifted away from it. So I'm really not up to speed.
But the last I heard about it is that the governor's office is actually was able to to to get some some some things in motion there to to to prevent this city from coming about, but it might have changed since then. I'm I'm a little bit in the dark on that one. And maybe said I can find something here. And it was but just so much going on, brother. It's let me see. Epic City. See what comes up here. So, Epic City was a proposed master planned residential development in Texas situated approximately forty minutes from Dallas near the town of Josephine, spanning four zero two acres, across unincorporated portions of Collin and Hunt Counties, initiated by the East Plano Islamic Center. That's what it means. East Plano Islamic Center Epic. The project was to be managed and affiliated by by its affiliated entity, Community Capital Partners with Imran Chowdhury.
I was I'm saying that right serving as executive officer. Let me just skip on ahead here, so multiple multiple state investigations were launched against Epic City in April 2025 leading to a temporary halt construction. These investigations prompted by concerns over land use, business structure, transparency, potential violation of consumer protection, and funeral service laws. Texas Rangers also lost it also launched an investigation to epic for potential criminal activity to this, though the specifics were not disclosed. The DOJ initiated civil rights investigation in May over allegations of religious discrimination.
But but closed it in June 2025 after developers confirmed their adherence to Fair Housing Act and and the project's inclusive intent. So Colin County Commission's Court held a public hearing on the project in June, reflecting ongoing local state level debate. As of October 2025, the project remains in a state of regulatory limbo with no construction underway and multiple investigations pending. So thank you. Thank you, Brave Search. That's that's the broad I don't use Google. Google's I see the world has collapsed since the government shutdown. Yeah. Actually, that that's something else too. I that's it it it's it's amazing. All the all the hubbub about the government shutdown. Hey, thank you, man. Shut it down. Keep it shut down. Crickets? I wish I could do those cricket sounds. I wish I was I had to have a kind of talent to do cricket sounds.
[00:24:21] Unknown:
You know? Okay. It's a government network.
[00:24:26] Unknown:
There you go. Like the world has not come to an end. You know, life goes on, services are still being met. Mail mail got delivered today? Mail the Bell did get through, yes. Now I got another one of those lovely notices, yes. Yep. Got that stuff. You know, it the whole thing is that it's the Democrats are trying to get to to keep paying for the health care for illegal immigrant illegal illegal aliens that are here in this country right now. Even though they deny that and they say, no, that's not what it's all that's exactly what it's all about. That is what they're holding all this up for. Sure. They're they're fighting to hold to to to keep paying for, illegal aliens to get health care on you and I. You and I can barely afford to pay our medical bills, but yet the illegal aliens, the Democrats wanna keep on giving them money to let to so that, you know, to pay all their bills. So but on your back, on my back. They're they're future voters. Of course. Of course. That's the whole point. Let's see what else. Let me look into let's look through let's look through some headlines here, brother.
So well, here here's here's a no shocker. Here's a no shocker. Let me see. Maybe I could, let me screen share this. So this is from a site called, Just the News. Gee, look at that. FBI snooped on phone calls of the GOP members of Congress in the wake of January 6, unearthed doc shows. Jack Smith, as a Biden justice department special counsel reportedly snooped on the private conversations of eight Republican senators and one GOP house member as part of his investigation into January six Capitol riot. Really? What a surprise.
[00:26:13] Unknown:
So, Joe, put your Sherlock Holmes hat on for a second. Okay? Then your get your magnifying glass. Has anything really changed under Kash Patel in in in, AG Bondi? Yeah. You know? Since you since they've raised their hands. I I raised my hand. I'm a retired federal employee, and I did sort of my country with some things. And, I I understand raising the right hand, but I don't know that they had a lot of bark at the beginning. I had a lot of, like, you know, when I see Trump and Kid Rock and Dana White and, all the rest of the group there, Elon Musk walking down in that, you know, Madison Square Garden, your old neighborhood there. I had this, like, almost, like, pumped up hype about, yeah, let's rock. You know? And some of the things. It's like, I don't know.
What has she done, Bondi? AG Bondi? Nothing
[00:27:12] Unknown:
of significance that I've seen. I I'm I'm I'm incredibly disappointed with with AG Bondi. I am incredibly disappointed with Kash Patel. Yeah. I mean, I don't know, dude. I did I think Vangino
[00:27:23] Unknown:
is trying, but I think deep back and behind closed doors, maybe they're giving the old, you know, you better settle down here, man. You're you're getting too hyped up because Well, I think that's why they brought in their, their their co deputy director.
[00:27:35] Unknown:
Is that it? That's what I think. That's my opinion, but, you know, for whatever for whatever it's worth. But, but, yeah, I I don't see anything really of any significance coming out of, the DOJ, under Bondi. A lot of great speeches, a lot of, you know, nice sentiments on Fox News and all of her appearances. But I'm really not impressed. I I I think I think I don't know if she's compromised. I don't know if she's just incompetent. I I I don't know. Or same old same old? Yeah. I I just don't know. But it it's some it has but there there has to be something. It's about time we start seeing some action on these things. We do everybody's talking about, you know, I well, let me backtrack on one thing I said. I I did say that I'll believe it when I see it when they said that that they were gonna have Comey indicted.
Alright. So so I'll eat that because they did have him indicted, but do you really think anything's why didn't why didn't he get the the 02:00 in the morning or the 03:00 in the morning raid in his house? Yeah. Yeah. Why why did he get why did he get to turn himself in? How how long is this gonna fester before it actually and it comes up? And do you really think for a second he's gonna get convicted of anything? Zero. I don't think so.
[00:28:51] Unknown:
Tom Cruise, sir. I'll talk the other time. I mean, I No, Joe. I get I get two phone calls a month, and that was one.
[00:29:05] Unknown:
Yeah. I know I know he serious. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. But
[00:29:10] Unknown:
it it's like kind of like I was I was old enough. I was in grade school when Watergate was going on. Those guys got put in jail. Mhmm. They literally got what they would do and all the things they've done is nothing compared to what Obama did from 8AM to noon. Serious. Those guys got busted. They got years behind bars. They got indicted. Yeah. They wrote books and made TV shows, and they found awards, some of them. And, yeah, they all had their they all come and gone. But here, there is no real justice in in that. I and the thing I've I've gone through, and I, just went through some of my buddies, the old talk around the old table type thing. You know, Kennedy, Martin Luther King, UFOs, Epstein, those things, how significant are they that they will affect our our country? You know, they're not gonna affect anything in the sense of how we live, taxes, etcetera, etcetera.
So you look at that, what significance are they gonna have an effect? JFK. I had an argument with a guy. He he could not believe I was such an idiot that I believe that someone besides Oswald shot Kennedy. I mean, I'm serious. That guy thought that was it. And, Michael Medved, a former, big TV guy, he's a he has a TV show out here. He was all saying Us conspiracy whack jobs to think it was other than Oswald. It doesn't I'm not saying it doesn't matter, Joe. What is the word I'm looking for? It doesn't have any significance on the way we live our lives, and I never ever thought any of these things would come. I actually called it all. I said, if any of this comes to light, like, you know, there was a special show. Yes. And here's the guy that we found out who took the headshot.
Here's the guy who covered here's the guy who got, whatever, Jacob, whatever the name of Jack Ruby set up. None of that's gonna happen. I mean, if it happens or doesn't happen, but that's that's what we were looking for. How did they pay Jack Ruby to get rid of this guy and how they took the body? All those things, it's not gonna come to that because they should have already had it. I think if you ask Bobby Kennedy junior, is he's kind of the the probably the probably the one person who could actually have some significance. You know? Just let it go. He, you know, he he knows that his father and his uncle were assassinated by the CIA, and that's good enough for me.
I I really respect him. And even though, like I said, he's a so called democrat, But, Epstein thing, it's a deeper, darker thing. And I want a new t shirt, and I want a billion dollars for it. It's no longer the deep state. It's the dark state. Yeah. I agree with you.
[00:31:43] Unknown:
Here's an update on, this this is as of 5PM today, on Comey. His arraignment moved up, to Wednesday morning for security reasons. So the arraignment of four former FBI director James Comey was moved up to Wednesday morning at 10AM for security reasons. Multiple previously scheduled matters that were expected to draw large numbers of people to the courthouse at the same time as the arraignment. Comey was originally set to be arraigned this Thursday morning after he was indicted by a grand jury in Eastern District Of Virginia last month. His case was assigned to US district judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee. Well, there there was that.
The FBI is now actively working to put together a team to arrest Comey between now and his court appearance on Thursday, but other FBI supervisors have also refused to cooperate, said a source knowledgeable about the conversations, and a law enforcement source familiar with the situation. The expectation is that the FBI will eventually find somebody. That's that's pathetic.
[00:32:43] Unknown:
Yeah. That's that's don't get expectations high in any of this stuff. And when they were talking about it before I guess, when after Trump got voted in and, you know, all of the inauguration stuff, I go, it's what what's what's it gonna do to change our country or anything that's significant UFOs? You know, some of the stuff when you ask Trump, he looks at you. Like, in some of these interviews, he's UFOs. He's I think I'm thinking about, you know, you know, the the stock market or, you know, how we can, you know, you know, get the economy going. You feel so far as a drop. What do you think about the UFOs they found in New Mexico or whatever? It's I don't know. I was just thinking about, you know, next week, I'm gonna, you know, talk to the prime minister or whatever country. You know? And so, but, and the things in Israel, what's going on, I just I can't I haven't really I don't wanna dig in anything this week, Joe. I just don't want it in my brain. Yeah. I wanted a time out with my head. I mean, I was I sat on the TV. I don't have any I live out in the mountains because I have no, like, watching football sports. I literally it's almost like I have to get on the phone, put it on one thing, and get another. I'm, like, holding my hand up up here kind of to get the ball game, and that's all I was really listening to.
And I was sitting there and I go, you know, Rosanna, I go and just sitting back here, I says, all I need is some some nacho chips and dip and a beer, but, you know, that'll never happen. I kid you not. She said it right down. She said, you know what? She goes, I enjoy you doing this because, you know, Wayne, you have not a lot a lot of knowledge on these things and, you know, it's way up. She doesn't get involved with any of it. You couldn't ask her. She wouldn't tell you who is Democrat, Republican, and that's okay. That's okay. She says, just tell me what's going on, you know, if it's important. So I said, yes. This this Israeli thing is kind of, kind of eye opening. And I said something to somebody, and, oh my gosh, I get a knee jerk reaction. I said, some of the things Trump is setting up let me just say this. Disclaimer.
My pastor actually had a disclaimer this Sunday. He said, he said, you know, at the Charlie Kirk Memorials, I've seen mostly a 100% of them. Everybody had candles and peaceful. He goes, other ones I've seen in burning cities, he said, when other people have been Yeah. Taken out. But, the the thing of it is I go the thing with Netanyahu and Trump and what he was reading it about, because I have some background in in in Israel because I was married to Israel. And so it's it's interesting what they're proposing, what they're proposing, and how many countries are involved with this. Indonesia. People don't know this, but there's more Muslims in Indonesia than anywhere else.
People don't understand that Muslim doesn't mean Arab. I have a friend who's Lebanese. Oh, is he Islamic? I go, no. He's Lebanese. He's Christian. Islam is a faith. Arabism. To me, it's ethnicity. I don't believe in race. Like, you're a racist. I believe in bigotry and those those words. Race, we're all one race. The whole word racist is misused of my personal belief, but he's just the Arab guy that's not Muslim. So, you know, so okay. Yeah. Saw this one? No. I had this is like I said, I've been able to go look for everything. So,
[00:36:02] Unknown:
Yeah. So this is, Sean Miller wrote this for US News and his post up on Infowars. On Monday, Axios reported that president Donald Trump held a phone call with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the White House's Gaza peace plan, getting traction from both the Jewish state and Hamas. During the call, the Israeli leader reportedly told the president that his peace plan doesn't mean anything, and it's nothing to celebrate, to which Trump hit back asking Netanyahu why he's always so effing negative.
[00:36:29] Unknown:
Right. Did he really say it? I guess.
[00:36:33] Unknown:
Let's see. This is, from Donald Trump's truth post. There have been very positive discussions with Hamas and countries from all over the world, Arab, Muslim, and everyone else this weekend, to release the hostages and end the war in Gaza. But more importantly, finally, have long sought peace in The Middle East. These talks have been very successful and proceeding rapidly. The technical teams will meet again Monday in Egypt to work through and clarify the final details. I am told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I'm asking everyone to move fast. I will con I will continue to monitor this centuries old conflict. Time is of the essence or massive bloodshed will follow something that nobody wants to see. And there's
[00:37:11] Unknown:
Alex Jones pouting away. You tell them. You tell them, Alex. So, I mean, they have their forever wars over there too. I mean, we they call it This is this is a conflict that's been going on for centuries. Yeah. Centuries, centuries, and centuries. So, like I said, interesting stuff that's happening over there that's has, prophetic implications. You could call it that. So but I just I I I chose my life to live on a farm this week, but very limited outside interference, other than listening to the Detroit Tigers and Sierra Mariners.

He is like he's like a giddy kid when it comes to his wife. And, you know, but but he likes to twist her balls, man. I do. Not that she has any. We know she doesn't have any. We know she's a woman. We understand that. Got few no balls. There you go. I I I told people in church, I go, my wife has more free will balls than you guys do.

We don't need you. We don't need you. I'm sorry. But I said, don't worry what I'm gonna be telling you. Worry about what the lord will be telling you. Amen. And I saw she's got she's got some female testicles, but, we have we have a thing that works out. But it was really good. I went on Facebook, a 100 comments. It was great because all the people from Michigan put their mouths in, and the people from the West Coast put their mouths in it. It was a good one. Because I said, we'll be sitting on the opposite ends of the couch tonight. So but, hey, Joe. I I wanna like I said, I gotta ask you a question here.
I just have this concern with Trump. Okay? And I tell people I gotta slow it down. A lot of things he does I mean, is he getting so much outside information or input from different people? Like, you know, it's a big, beautiful bill and so many other things that I know Trump's a fast actor not actor. Just a fast he does things fast, makes decisions fast, and I go, you know, I sent this to somebody, and I was gonna say it a minute ago. That's how I'm saying it. He's setting things up for who's ever after him to have a lot of things at their hands, like the military, the trillion dollar budget.
It's a lot of weapons. It's a lot of things to get on your hands there and a lot of different other things. Like, all I'm asking, is it true? I do not know that one of the big beautiful bill everything's gonna have a name, really. There's some AI spyware in there. Something of that nature. Yes. See, I have a knee jerk there. I I you know, like I said, I'm I'm gonna besides Alex Jones, Art Bell. There was a guy, Art Bell. I like like I said, I've told you this on the show many times before. He's a legend of legends. I mean, this guy was way and and Jones have said, this guy was like a pioneer, with air quote. I I don't do air quotes. I'm gonna say air quote now because I'm doing my own everyone wants to do this, I say air quote. Air quote, he was the conspiracies, breaker back then. Art Brow, he would cut it to the phone, man. Let's see what you're really talking about. Is this really true?
And, some of the conspiracy, type stuff that's happening, you know, that, you know, AI concerns me. In in in the book of Daniel, knowledge will increase faster than ever. And the AI, it can't get more faster than I could be around. See, let's see. Can't get much more faster than AI. So the big beautiful bill allocates $6,100,000,000
[00:42:57] Unknown:
for AI powered border surveillance systems under the Department of Homeland Security. 450,000,000 for AI on autonomous robotics and naval naval ship building, 145,000,000 for AI in aerial and naval drones, $2.50 250,000,000 for AI projects within the US Cyber Command, 115,000,000 for AI systems to protect nuclear facilities from cyber attacks, 200,000,000 is designated to improve the Pentagon's financial audit system, a 150,000,000 is provided to Department of Energy to develop and share AI models and data for energy innovation.
[00:43:29] Unknown:
Mhmm. So Mhmm. It's Russia we go, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm looking to see. Question. How about after Trump's gone, whose hands will that be into then? Is it gonna be a blue governor? Because we go black, blue. Now we got a real liberal off the off the charts live now, and he's got that in his hands, not Trump and Trump's people. That's where Wayne goes. Gotta have a concern there because it might be in Trump's court right now, and he's getting it put together. But what about the people after him? Who's gonna reoperate in these things? Is it gonna be some
[00:44:05] Unknown:
leftist psycho? Well, yeah. I mean, because, you know, the states retained the full authority to regulate the AI. Okay. So it's, that is just and that's what they were fighting against. They didn't want states to do that. They wanted to keep under federal control. But, yeah, but but, you know, to to to, I guess, kind of answer the question. I think that I think Trump is moving as fast as he is because he understands that every every minute of every day matters because he's only has the one term to do everything he set out to do. And, so I think that's why he's keeping the hours that he's keeping. He's why I think he's keep that's why I think he is, is moving as fast as he is on these things and trying to get these things done.
Look. I I support President Trump. I I think Yes, you do. You know, I I I I appreciate You're both good times. Yeah. Same. I I appreciate, you know, what I I appreciate the the the the intent to, rebuild America. I I I I get that. But I'm gonna be very honest with you. Alright? And this might, you know, piss some people off, and if it does, okay. Fine. But has have you seen any real impact in your life right now from what his administration is doing? Other than the fact of, you know, the of the riots and and and and the border close. And I'm talking about your quality of life, because I'm gonna be very honest. I'm gonna be very honest. I again, I I I I love President Trump. I love what he's doing and and has done. I like what he's trying to do, But I'm telling you, I when he when they get up on in at that podium, and they talk they talk about prices are down, inflation is down, gas prices are down, all that stuff. I'm like, where?
Where? Where where is all that down? Guam? Because it's not here, where I am in Texas at least. It it, gas, I I passed the gas station here, this morning, and it was like, almost $3 a gallon. Yeah. I know you. You guys five we gotta speak speak because this is audio also folks. So $5 a gallon for you. You know, Speechless. Yeah. I get it. So $3 almost $3 a gallon here. I I went to the supermarket this weekend, and I bought, I think it was like it was like 8 thing no. I'm sorry. 11 items. Now that I remember. It was 11 items. It was $97 for 11 items.
Where are prices down? I just got hit with I just got you well, you know, I've been talking about this. I just got hit with this escrow thing here. My property taxes have gone up. My school taxes have gone up. I don't have kids.

Why am I paying a school tax? Right. Yeah. It it does just doesn't make sense. And then the state tax, city tax, all that stuff. And then here in Texas, at the at the Texas house, they, representatives like like Brian Harrison, who's fantastic by the way, if you you need to check him out. I've been pushing and pushing and pushing to get the state legislature to let's legislature to to get rid of property taxes in the state of Texas.
[00:47:37] Unknown:
Right.
[00:47:38] Unknown:
And they tabled it. They don't even wanna vote on it. They don't even wanna talk about it. Right. Not even open for discussion, but what did they do? They increased. Mhmm. You know, so you tell me where these prices are so much better, where where the cost of living is so much lower than it was four years ago. I don't see it. I don't see it at all.
[00:48:00] Unknown:
Well, my accountant is she she just gave the state of the union address for our family here. She said, buckle up. Lily, buckle up. I mean, we went over our stuff. Our we do every month. We do our checks. She she does the accounting, but we'll sit together and go through it. And I go, okay. She's working Sunday. She gets a different model. I said, okay. And so I go, we're literally treading water. And, you know, you'd be shocked at what we make. I don't wanna say what it is. You go Of course. Yeah. I'll I'll do this. I'll do this. My son said, yeah, dad. Me and wife, he works at a really good company called Warehauser. He pays really well. Mhmm. He's a log driver. And so and she works at another company, that that's a a waste management name. Let's say I think he said 112,000 because we broke even.
We broke even. That's pathetic. Mortgage. His mortgage. His in his property insurance. Let's go to property. Okay? Mortgage, property insurance, car insurance for two, three vehicles. That's those first three right there. That's per month. And then we got talking about federal tax, Social Security. Mhmm. He started dwindling it down. He's got five kids. He goes, we broke even, literally. Because when he get we always get a good check IRS check-in the next year because all the write offs and stuff. But he goes, heck, dad. I mean, I don't see how anybody can make it at 50,000 a year now. It's impossible. Yeah.
50,000. If I was a family, if I was, like I said, I was just a a loans, loan wage earner and wife stayed at home. Oh my gosh. Like I said, I I we don't have a food budget. That's the thing upon it because freaking give me a spear and I'll feed you. Oh, you're so sustainable, that which is great. Yeah. I mean, and we just can't 50 quarts, quarts, 50 quarts of apple sauce, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Because that's the way we eat. And you're you're sending me some of that applesauce. Right? Because I don't know. I love applesauce. We really are. I'm just kidding. No. No. No. It's gonna happen. And so, the thing of it is the main thing I got is the food. I got that covered. I got that covered, but the other says it's killing us. Like I said, the property tax is literally I I said to wife, I go, what they're charging for property tax takes my first three months to take home.
That's and that's ridiculous. That's So January, February, March are done. I'm not even breaking even yet. Mhmm. I'm underwater. So April, I start April is January 1 for me. So prep and I wrote Trump. I wrote, Elon Musk. It's as big as legal. I know postal guy might protect. I got the biggest piece of postal package that you're right with big poster on there. And my my case is I I'm I served my country. You served your country. And I still I'm owed seventeen years back pay. A federal judge ruled in my case that I was illegally dismissed, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And that's not including OPM, which owes me twenty four months of my regular check. That's that's really my retirement. The first one the lawsuit was, and now my back pay twenty four months. I I still haven't got paid. That started back in 2021. So OPM does everything by paper. So I wrote all the administrator. I wrote everybody in the in the in the universe. I wrote I wrote the White House. And I'm going, you know, Trump, if you just give me five minutes and I could tell you, have the judge rule in these cases. We've got everything settled. The liability is on our side. The judge has ruled. And the EEOC judge has said, well, I'm gonna take into the appeal, which they already voted they've got voted. She already ruled there'd be no more appeals.
And what the same same thing I heard in, 2024, we'll have this case ruled in 2025, early twenty twenty five. Now I got we'll have this case ruled in early twenty twenty six. It's been nine years. I just wanna Joe, just wanna I just want what I work for. So so even no matter who I wrote, what legislators, what governors, what I've written everybody. Presidents, everything else is getting better. They don't care. See, the thing is they don't care. They want your vote. And Trump, like I said, I mean, it's it is almost like the meet the new boss. Old boss meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss. And I people my buddies are getting discouraged because they are they're Trumpers. Some of these guys are old school MAGA Trumpers, and they're, like, starting to go, you know, Social Security went up $7 this year Oh. Or or whatever. I'm I'm just making a joke. I will probably figure it out by here that Half of a Starbucks coffee. Yeah. Well, it it my thing is, mine went up $48 last year, but they took out $64 more for Medicare.
[00:52:31] Unknown:
That's that's that's ridiculous.
[00:52:33] Unknown:
So it's it's it's set up for it's set up for It's set up to fail. For the for the work there's no more middle class. It's the working class to never succeed. Yeah. And if you do, you get a capital. Like I say, if I got a grandson, hey, grandson, I bought this property for $25. I'm gonna sell it for 800,000. I'm just saying, you know, whatever. A 100,100 thousand. I'm gonna get ringed before it. There's no there's no way a guy like me can even make an investment without getting reamed for capital gains in the state of Washington. It's the work. We have the worst state capital gains tax in America. Yeah. It's crazy what it is. 48% or something like that. And so the stuff I have for my son, I can't even invest for my grandson. I you know, it's like, you know, Lord, can't we just cheat a little bit?
Can we just cheat a little bit? You know? Because, you know, Lord, actually, some of this is illegal. I I understand paying Caesar with Caesar, and I don't wanna pay Caesar and Caesar's mafia too. Yeah. Because that's not in the Bible. I'll pay Caesar, but I'm not lord, I'm not gonna pay Caesar's mafia no more. I'm literally I'm they're not gonna do nothing. I'm just saying, Joe, it's getting discouraging because, I mean, Rosanna, she goes in at 3AM, comes home at 12:30, and it's like she's like, okay. And I'm watching her. It's like, I don't want her to become an old person by 55 and what have you. So, I mean, I said, by gosh, by golly. It's like, if I have to, I'll sell a farm and go somewhere else.
But, I there's just a there's a sentiment there or whatever the word is that word is. Just the attitude of people are starting to get discouraged, and it's not even the first year. You can get some nice ranch land down here. Yeah. I actually texted some of my My friend's son moved down there. He he got a house and 25 acres, like a 118,000 or something like that. Yeah. It's
[00:54:14] Unknown:
still somewhat affordable. But then the but it's it's cheap it's cheap to purchase it, but they kill you with the freaking property taxes.
[00:54:20] Unknown:
Yeah. Exactly. But so,
[00:54:22] Unknown:
it's just And I know I'm not and and look, I I know I I have people that listen up on the East Coast also. I know New Jersey has the worst property taxes, and New York's property taxes are crazy, and Connecticut. And all those places. Yeah. All blue cities and states and whatnot, but you know it it's and they just they just make it so incredibly difficult for you just to live your life, you know. If if they got rid of the taxes, set up, and and had just a sales tax. That'd be perfect. It would be absolutely perfect because then all the all the all the the the the Liberals who bitch and complain about the rich paying their fair share of taxes, well there you go. They'll they'll be paying because I'm not going out to buy a a a Yacht? A billion dollar yacht, neither are you, and but they are, and they'll pay the tax on that. So Right. 10%. Let's just say Whatever. Who was it? Was it Ross Perot? He was an old guy that the the first Bushman. Yeah. Yeah. He said, how was that that what did he say that? What was that whistling sound? That's the jobs leaving America. Yeah. That, what was that? NAFTA.
[00:55:25] Unknown:
Oh, that was a great plan. But he was the guy who said, let's get a flat sales tax across America. Mhmm. Okay? And like I said, in Oregon, we're across the border here. They don't have an income tax or or they have an income tax. They don't have a sales tax, and you get reamed. Okay. It's a totally re it's the opposite over here. We don't have an income tax, but we got a sales tax, but we got a property tax. You don't have a state income tax there? I'm surprised. It's a blue state. Long before blue, it was it was it was this this was built on what? Rugged individuality.
This was the the people who went up to Alaska, the mine. This was the eighteen hundreds where guys ended their their their trail, and they they built log houses, and they trapped, and they furred, and they all have stuff like that. And they they were rugged, and they they they had a a work ethic, you know, until, you know, liberalism caught up in here and California caught up in here, actually, the eighties. Right. Nineteen eighties. I got here in '81. It's 8990, it started to turn, you know, liberal California California caters. But it it they they they didn't have a, an income tax.
So that's why a lot of football players wanna come here in Florida. That's why they sign for free agents. They don't have that here. Yeah. But, yeah, they they said that. Let's just have a sales tax, across the board and
[00:56:44] Unknown:
Well, there's a lot of plans like that. They're like consumption taxes. I mean, the Right. You got you got the fair tax, you got the flat tax, you got all the all these options out there. How about no tax?
[00:56:55] Unknown:
You know what? Yeah. I'm getting kinda a little frosty over these tippers. I'm gonna pay the subway girl a tip. Oh, yeah. Mayonnaise or mustard. Yeah. Go down the next tip, please. And here, they're making $18.16 bucks an hour at minimum wage in this state. You know what the minimum wage here is at Texas? What's that? $7.25. Yes. It's it's like $14.15 dollars here. And places have gone under. They you got kiosk everywhere at McDonald's. Oh, sure. Yeah. There's so, it is really I think we came up with something like taxes are such a burden. That's why the colonial said it. Taxation without representation. And when that's and that's exactly what you're getting too. And, you know, Joe, I don't mind paying my dollar if the road gets fixed. I've never had that beef. I've told the liberals this. I've never had that beef. But, man, we have this thing called a, it's a discover pass.
What's a Discover Pass? Well, you have to have this to park your truck. You can go fishing over by the by the boat launch or whatever by the fishing launch. What do you mean? I have yeah. You gotta get rid of it now. You gotta take it for, like, $60. You have to have this little thing you buy. It's called Discover. Well, did we get anything extra? Did did they put more railing over there? Did they put an extra porta potty over there? Did they nothing. Nothing got added. You know what I'm saying? Nothing got added. No. Because it's all for administrative costs. The they didn't add up cut the brush so more guys could fish over here. It's just the tax. And now I went up $5 more from this year.
So it's taxation without representation. And the people that think I'm I'm barking up a wrong tree. No. I said it's not. It's just forget about the state. All these extra taxes are going to the general fund. Mhmm. That's a whorehouse, man. That's just a whorehouse spending right there. So Yeah. It's getting discouraged. And so, ended this note on this. So there's somebody that's coming who's gonna fix all of this. And I was reading this weekend. That's what I was doing. I was reading my bible a lot and just going back and forth on some things. And, there there isn't a pre Trevor I haven't ticked off. Sorry.
[00:58:58] Unknown:
But You haven't you haven't ticked me off. Well, you know, it's you guys are gonna be around. We're gonna be around a little longer. Oh, I you know what? I I I I do agree with that. I I think that we're we're gonna see we're gonna see a few things before we're before we're taken out of here. Yeah. Without a doubt. The word pre trib, I think, is it's misrepent. They they threw that in there a long time ago. Pretribulation.
[00:59:20] Unknown:
And the word tribulation in Hebrew is persecution. Mhmm. Yeah. Look at Nigeria. I had people stay here, from Nigeria for six months because they escaping Poka Arena, Poka Arena, whatever they call it. Their whole village got whipped out. But you see but the but the And he goes he he said he said, there's persecution. And he's he believes he said the pre tribulation, they've got it wrong on how they word it because Christians are gonna die for their faith. And they are Of course. Right now, they're dying for their faith. And that's what I've told people.
[00:59:53] Unknown:
You're gonna see some stuff you didn't maybe expect. Be prepared. Yeah. But the but the tribulation is also called Jacob's trouble. Right? Exactly. And who's who's Jacob?
[01:00:02] Unknown:
Well, my my my late wife said, yeah. Blame it on us, Jews again. Yeah. Lay it on us again. Right? Jacob's trouble. So if it's Jacob's trouble cause any problems. That's what the tribulation's for though, brother. It's it's it's for Jacob. Everybody. It's for Jacob. Here. Who who rejects Christ. Yeah. That's what I but the thing is the thing I I I put to a buddy, I go, Trump is setting up some stuff for the Antichrist to take place. We're we call Trump the Antichrist. I said, no. Listen. See, that's the problem I have, Joe. Is that everybody that need jerks on what I'm saying.
You know? Okay. You just wanna stay here in the end of Christ, don't you? I go, once again, listen to what Mike's saying. Trump is setting up some things. The thing with Netanyahu doesn't know how it's gonna play out, but all of this armory, this trillion dollar military, it's gonna be set up for it says, first horse. White horse. The first seal. Yeah. I have a white horse. He's coming to we have one world rulers. This guy in the YouTube, we're in the tribulation right now. I go, where's the one world ruler? Mhmm. Where's the don't start with me on that one.
This is read it how it's read. Where's the one world ruler? Number two, he will make war. He's gonna make war. He's gonna have a lot of armor. To deal with. Mhmm. Because he's gonna have full control of everything. That's right. You know what? He's gonna have all those things they're building. Supersonic Trump said, Trump, you know, it's gonna have the greatest rare or missile. We're gonna have the greatest, you know, submarines and tech and their a trillion dollars is a lot. Yeah. The the things that are taking place now are are are are is the precursor to a Pre cursor is a good word, Joe. So so it it you have to and they're given to us to see it as as
[01:01:36] Unknown:
markers, I think, I personally believe. You know, so okay, well you know the Bible said to look for this, and well there it is, and look for this and there it is, you know, so that's how we kinda know that, you know, where we are on that prophetic calendar or or schedule. Charlie's letting me know it's the hour's up. But, no. No. No. It's it's okay. And and then, you know, but if people really wanna, like, I like I I I laugh too when you like, you say, you know, people, oh, you're calling Trump the Antichrist. Well, no. No. I'm not calling him the Antichrist, but there there are some elements thereof and Antichrist.
But if you really wanna know the Antichrist, go to Zechariah chapter 11, it'll tell you what what to look for. You know? Right. Exactly. It'll tell you exactly what he's gonna look like, and Right. Some of the attributes that he's gonna have and and and such. So, one of those things, he's gonna have a bad right eye and a bad right arm. I don't think Donald Trump has a bad right eye or bad right arm.
[01:02:33] Unknown:
But there's a order to all of this. Of course. Absolutely. This is where the guys and me whatever you wanna call it. I don't care. Go separate paths. Follow the follow the book, and the book says the first seal. The first seal, he'll be a one world leader. He will he bring peace, but he will have full control. And then the second one says, he will start war. The third one is famine, food, can't find it. It's gonna cost a fortune, and the fourth one will be death. And death in Hades will be following them, and the court one quarter of the world will be killed. Let's let's say it's 2,000,000,000 with eight people here, 8,000,000,000 here, vice versa. Mhmm. Whatever it is. So those are all in order. And then I see this guy, and you can pour in the seven ball right now. I mean, not.
It's not bad. Trust me. Don't don't don't ask for likes and don't ask for subscriptions or subscribers.
[01:03:24] Unknown:
And I get myself taken down. The people the people who will be here when that happens Yeah. Will know. Yeah. It is not as a matter of fact, you know, on on on the Sunday show, I'm teaching through I'm teaching through the book of Proverbs right now, and well, I've got through it. I'm kind of doing like like a like a survey of it, and we're picking out topics. And yesterday we yesterday I taught on dealing with fools, and, and, and how to avoid fools. So, when when we're finished with with, the study on on Proverbs, I'm debating. I'm thinking about which way to go. I don't know if I'm gonna teach through the book of Revelation, or if I'm gonna teach dispensationalism.
I'm I'm just I'm not sure which way I'm gonna go yet. I can go either way because I have I already have outlines and and such for for all of it.
[01:04:14] Unknown:
So See. I I get I tell everybody, I don't I'm not a dispensationalist. I'm not a pre triver. I'm not a post triver. I'm just right today. I I am my major one thing is
[01:04:25] Unknown:
occupy till he comes. Mhmm. That's it. That's not what you're that's right. Right now, today, he said, save tomorrow for tomorrow. Yeah. Well, a lot a lot of people get caught up in in in in the terminology, you know, dispensation list interest. Look. I if if I if I had to put a label on myself, if I had to Mhmm. I would say I am dispensationalist Mhmm. Pre trib, pre wrath, all that stuff. But I also believe the book. Mhmm. That's the main thing. You know, if anybody asks is well what does the book say? I'm a bible believing Christian before a dispensationalist, before a pre trib. Now, my understanding of scripture is from the dispensational pre trib trip, point of view. So that's how I look through scripture and and teach it, because it just makes sense.
But do you have to be dispensational? Do you have to be treatment? No. Listen. I'm not I'm not. I'm just not I can't even go with all Right. That's my point. That's my point. You know, there are a lot of saved people who are not dispensationalists.
[01:05:38] Unknown:
My You know? The guy I I cut my teeth on, doctor Walter Martin. Yeah. And him and Chuck Smith went back and forth. Sure. Yeah. He said he said, but it's not a salvation issue, guys. It's not. It's not when you That's not when they get you're not getting with your buddy. You don't you don't wanna invite him over no more because that old dog, he's thinks we're gonna be here longer, Helen. I don't know, man. I'm not having him over anymore. Right. And that's the point I was just gonna make. You know? It because it's it's not a matter of self.
[01:06:02] Unknown:
If you and I, you're you're not a dispensationalist, you're not a trip, pre trip guy, I am. I'm gonna ask you a question. Okay, I'm gonna ask you a question. Wayne, do you believe that is the blood of Jesus Christ and that alone that saves you? It's the only thing. There you go. The only thing. Then you know what? Then then we can have fellowship. Right. Right. There's no reason for us to argue. There's no reason to argue. You can lay out your your case. And when I say when I argue, I say argue, you know, I mean like debating and laying out your case, you know. You could do that. It I'm I'm not gonna love you any less. Right. I may not agree with you, you may not agree with me, but as long as we can agree that it's through Christ alone Mhmm. That you get to that that that you get to heaven, and it's a gift. It's not works. It's nothing that you could do or I could do that could get me into heaven or anybody else for that matter. Right. Right. Right. It's not praying to Mary, it's not praying to the saints, it's not kissing the rings the Pope's ring, it's not none of that saves you.
The only thing that saves you is putting your full faith, trust, and confidence in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that alone. That's it. And God did that in this time period to make it so simple. It's not it's not going through leaps and bounds, and having to do this, and having to do that, having to wash this way, and eat this, and eat that. Nothing to do with it. It's putting your faith in the blood of Christ that he was the perfect sinless sacrifice made for you, made for me, and made for the world. Now it's up to us to accept the gift. It's up to us to do that. It's up to us to say, you're right. I'm wrong. Forgive me.
That's up to us. You can he Christ died for the world, but you gotta accept the gift. Just because he died for the entire world, he he all that means is that he died to cover the sins of the world, but you have to you have to come to him.
[01:08:12] Unknown:
And then the number one thing he told Nicodemus is be born again, you have to repent. Yeah. Repent means not the same guy who you were. At least who I was. I go with myself. I don't know why. If you've seen me before, I've repented. He probably wouldn't go out with me. Okay? That's a given. Mhmm. Most likely. It just we're all different attitudes. It's a whole thing about it all. So I I don't know who said it, and I repeated it to somebody I go. We're gonna pass we're gonna die is is Hebrews is to die and then the judgment. That is in scripture. That is scripture. To die and then to the judgment. So it's it's I said, it's gonna be a it's I said, you're gonna have a court appointment immediately.
Yeah. You either will have a lawyer or you won't. Mhmm. Yep. That's it. That's that's that's a stone cold truth that that old wrestler said. So what does that mean, Wayne? I go, well, you're gonna stand before the throne. And it's and he's gonna say, you know, is his name in the book of life? Jesus will step forward. Father, remember remember when Wade confessed me before men to thousands of people or just whatever. It wasn't his words. He he had every chance he could, and he confessed the lord Jesus Christ. Mhmm. He followed me because he repented because of the blood Mhmm.
And the cross. So I would have stand up for Wayne and say, yes, father. I'm gonna confess him to you. That's right. Mister x y z, next. Is the name in the book of life? Where's my lawyer at?
[01:09:40] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:09:41] Unknown:
It's an advocate. Jesus is an advocate. Which in some, technologies, you know, legal advice is The best lawyer you can have. A lawyer. Right? The best lawyer you can have, brother. Best lawyer you can have. You won't have a lawyer. Open the books then. His name's not in there. And Jesus won't even be so all he's gonna say is, I didn't know the guy. Father, I didn't know him. Mhmm. He people don't understand that the the the the naysayers say this about Jesus. Well, he must have been on to be smart if you didn't know him. No. I, hypothetical. Oh, I know Joe Roode.
The name of him, I've heard of him, but I don't know him. We haven't had pizza together or a good calzone or something. I I don't know him like that. I know I know him about his show or his name, but I've never known him personally. Personal relationship. Right. It's a personal relationship that he knows you. He knows everybody's name. And so and that was pretty cool because I was talking to my wife. I said, it's gonna be like a court, appearance. Mhmm. And you're gonna have the best attorney That's right. History of attorneys. And when all those attorneys show up there. So God help them. Not a laughing matter, but it that's why I just, you know, pre trip, this is I go, mine is this this the race continues.
Mhmm. That's all it is. I mean, the the the time slot will be right there. I just tell everybody and I got in a lot of heat for this, mister Joe Ruiz. I got heat where they pull the mic from at a men's, and they pulled the mic on me. God. God. God is mic. Oh, like this?

I wish I could go back in time. Oh, they were yeah. They were fun. They were hilarious. I've enjoyed being with you guys. And, so and I made a promise because, my my partner Jay Jay. What he would do if if he didn't want if if he disagreed with you or if or if he felt you were going too long, he would just mute your mic and you wouldn't even know it, and you wouldn't find out till later on. And I I swore up and down, I would never do that to anybody, and I just did it. Even though I was only kidding around, I said I actually liked it it because that happened. So I was got to speak at this real
[01:12:09] Unknown:
fast. And, at the it was a men's breakfast thing. And I said, so who's the speaker today? And he goes, I don't know. We're having burritos. I go, you know, that's that's a good cause. I I can burritos here. So I got up there, and I said, this is a tragic disease that's totally infected the American church. It's made of practically helpless and unmotivated. It's called rapturitis.
[01:12:34] Unknown:
Okay. Explain.
[01:12:36] Unknown:
We're all just just waiting on the Lord. Mhmm. Oh, I can't or I get, I'm so tired. I cannot wait till he comes back. And what did you sacrifice for him? Have you been on the mission field? I'm not trying to point any fingers at anybody for what they've done or not done or but if you're gonna go out on a ledge, you go, oh, woah. It's me. And, you know, I I've been on the mission field for twenty years. Mhmm. I've had exhausting I mean, pulling people out of the mud from their volcano or avalanches. So it's it's it's stuff I love. I mean, it's what the lord would want me to do because I'm good at it. I'm good at at the or construction and all that stuff like that. I I know how to do those things. And when I was in North Carolina at the at the hurricane, we had to go up a hill. I go, why? I can't. Give me the backpack. I'll head on up. Because I'm Joe, I'm good at it. It's not that I'm bragging, but I'm good at that stuff. I can put a backpack on and go through the woods and find the trail and get meet you guys over with the tools. It's not it's not nothing, as they say, rocket science. Yeah. But I I I I just see the people just, it's like they're tapping out too early, and you can't just sit or he just said, if I do, he comes.
And if anything, pray. Pray for the the people in Nigeria who getting slaughtered. Yep. Of course. Right? I like I said, I know people that lost family members. They stayed here for six months in our in our house. And Well, we're told to bear one another's burdens. I mean, that's that's part of, you know, praying for someone is bearing their burden as well. You know? But I came into church on Sunday. I I my wife now works Sunday, so I everybody said, oh, his wife's his wife's not with them. So so where's where's Rosanna now?

Well, you got, you know, you're gonna get a whole new body. You're probably gonna have the mind you know, you and while the scripture says you're gonna have a whole new body, you're gonna have the mind of Christ, so you're not gonna be Wayne Wayne. You'll be Wayne, but not Wayne. Yeah. Right.

Now also, up at the upper left corner of your screen or my left, your right, I'm not sure. I get confused with all that stuff. There's a QR code.
Alright. Now I hate doing this. I really do. It it it irks me beyond belief, and it it sets me off on a whole thing about taxes and and all that mess. So, that QR code is for a GoFundMe that I had set up. And the reason why we set that up was because, I was hit with an escrow shortage, and a ridiculous amount of escrow shortage, and they've given me about a month to come up with the lump sum payment to keep my mortgage payment affordable, or, I had to break it down into, payments over the next year or so, to, to cover the shortage, which will, if in effect, almost double almost double.
Need to be clear on that. Almost double my monthly mortgage payment. And if that happens, well, that's gonna seriously put an impact on what we're doing here and trying to do here with the show, because might have to go get an actual second job. You know, and, if I do that, then I'm not gonna be able to do the shows on a regular basis, and, everything that we've been building for the last year will be basically for nothing. So, if you have the means to do it, you can either donate to the show and all of that will everything every donation that we get is all going right to the GoFundMe. Or you can go to GoFundMe directly, which is using that QR code right up there, and, you could scan that and make a donation if you have the means to do it.
We appreciate it. Like I said, I hate asking for this stuff, and I hate reaching out for that. So, whatever you can do, we really do appreciate it. And, we'll talk more about that as the days go, but we did get a donation yesterday. So to the anonymous person who donated $100 yesterday, thank you so very much for that. We really do appreciate it. And, thank you. I just can't say it enough. Thank you so much. Alright. Let's see what else we got cooking here. Let's see. Alright. Well, since since our, since our guest, bailed on us, And we as always, we can always depend on our illustrious executive producer, Wayne Rankin, to jump on in here and join in and fill the gap.

So I got more questions this week about everything because I've been actually, I had to go to a chiropractor for my for my back, but I would be be before that, I was cutting a quarter wood. And for those people who are not familiar with the farm life or outdoor life, a quarter wood is eight feet long, four feet high, and four feet wide. So I got my second one. I have 10 more cords back in the pasture. I gotta cut the trees, then split them, and then haul them, but that's
[00:13:16] Unknown:

That's it's a beautiful image too. And, you know, and folks, like I've said before, I've been to I've been to his place, his ranch. And, it really is beautiful property, the lodge. It it really is a beautiful property, man. It it really is. Well, first of all, Washington state itself, despite its politics, is just a beautiful state. And, I remember when I was up there last, we were we were with, Sheriff McCroskey, and he he kept on referring it to God's backyard.
And, you know, and it it not far from the truth. Really not far from the truth.

[00:14:05] Unknown:
We don't have to hunker. Like I said, joke the running joke was with COVID and stuff like that. Washington state was the forerunner of tele k. Totalitarian. Did I get it right? Totalitarian. Totalitarian. Okay. They were a forerunner for everything. They were literally you're gonna be ratting out your neighbors if you left the driveway. They're actually coming to that part of it all. So I told people, I go up there, like, modern people, and, you know, they're trying to wait me out and go They waited me out. There'd be skeletons out there going, man. I've got rock 10 more pounds here. You know? I mean, I don't last those boys forever, but that's I guess it's not the point. It's just the, last joke. Word on the street.
It was out there. We're called the governor here. Really? They some lawyers have said some of these taxes, some of these taxes are truly, truly unconstitutional. So he's got 42 new taxes. Him and the, You know why what happened? They did let the Republicans vote.
[00:15:01] Unknown:
How did they do that?
[00:15:03] Unknown:
I do not know. That's word on the street. They did an in session overnight thing or whatever. It's it's it's such a sham, this whole state, politics is, but it's catching up with them. I think even some of the the moderate libs, not your psycho libs, call them what you want. The moderate ones are going, you know, I work for a living too, and, you know, you know, this is affecting me and some of the programs that, you know, I'm involved with. Yeah. So it's it's, we have the highest gas right now. And like I said, property taxes, everything's that are they have tax, ball tickets, movie tickets, parking, wherever you park, this thing. If you need something, I bet you they taxed it. Ball games, just everything entertainment's been taxed, social been taxed, parks have been taxed, machine license, hunting license, which I'm involved with, taxes. So, maybe the maybe the the citizens will get restless. The neighbors will get restless. But, actually, I don't I've been out in the woods so much this week. I don't even know what's going on. So you have to fill me in with some stuff other than Britain wants a mandatory ID real ID, or is it or is it electric? It's a digital ID. To get work or what have you. Yep. What if nobody showed up for work?
What if everybody said, oh, we weren't gonna go? Everybody. I mean, I'm just trying to figure that one out. And then I read, if you're gonna come visit Europe, you have to hit it. It's just what I'm reading. I'm not saying it's the gospel or anything like that. Like I said, I'm more into asking what's going on because I've been away from electronics, which is I think everybody should do that. I'm trying to do it one day one day a week. It's a lesson for sure. Yeah. I'm trying to do, like, as much like, twelve hours, no phone, no nothing. You know, head out in the morning and cut wood and feed chickens and all this and go to gardening.

I'll let, you know, wording is different. Sure. It's like Yeah. It's negative. It's not good, is it? I live in that world, you know, like, kinda my as my wife says, at 12, she she goes, it is the greatest thing that you do live at twelve because the Lord said, you know, enter Evan as a child. And I keep that. I keep that going. Yeah. And I've seen a a biography of Steve McQueen who accepted the Lord Jesus Christ before his passing. The great video on that. It's about him and Billy Graham getting together. And really, Steve said, if I could have done anything, I've done it all. This guy did it all. Mhmm. I mean, he had everything that anybody could ever want. He did the biggest movies, mud bikes that would everything of the world. He said, if I could have redid it all, I would have spoke about Christ.
Amen. Good for him. But, his last wife said, he was like a child, a 12 year old when he was around kids. I go, yeah. I got it. So that's what my wife is saying today. She's going, she she she our eyes watered, and she smiled at the same time. That's what I got from her response. That's good. That's good. As you can see, my frame is put together for my green screen, but it has wrinkles in it. So she went and bought me a thing to unwrinkle it. Okay. So I'm gonna get it all done. By Wednesday, I told her I'm gonna get this thing going, but, we are at a point where, we're she did literally, if you looked at the picture, she was doing her and her mother did 50 quarts of apples and tomatoes and everything, and I'm cutting wood kind of like homesteading.
You know? We we kinda we do that, and it's just because that's the way I like to eat. I I I Ezra Healing, I can under I I'm right up her alley, man, the way I eat. Like I said, should check out elk out of the woods.

What I what I find amazing about you is that Yeah. Is that you after you you you just had surgery. Yeah. And and it wasn't exactly I mean, it's a biopsy and and they're they're kinda commonplace these days and, you know, but there's still problems and conditions, or or or or, complications to it. And you just had this. You were in a car accident two months ago, where you got banged up pretty bad. Now you had this and you're already out there cutting up wood, working your land.
You're insane.
[00:19:52] Unknown:
Holly would world bear after she Rosanna has her past this. She she she like I said, she has the coolest lion in the world. She used to ride horse in the town, but they had horses and all that stuff and fencing. That's hard work. All of it is. Any type of farming, ranching, it doesn't matter. And she says she says, I married two 30 year olds. I mean, you're you're you're relentless on this. And I think the biopsy, yeah, I'm not gonna get too graphic, but, let's just say there's some blood in the issue, and that kind of freaked both of us out. So Sure. Yeah. But it it really felt like the first twenty four hours.
Ouch. That's all I'm gonna say is ouch. But, like I said, the test had to get done. We move on. As I told my pastor, the race continues. That's it. The race does continue. Gotta keep on moving. And, I'm gonna start spreading the GoFundMe around, and we get that going here and and and and start telling some people what to to pass it on pass it on. But, so what is going on? What what have I really missed in the past four or five days? No Fox News, no no news, no Alex Jones. I've just been away from all of it. I mean, all I can hear is just some of the that the ax hitting the lumber.
[00:20:58] Unknown:
I'm all tangled up in my my cables here. Okay. All fouled up. So what isn't going on in in in the news these days? What happened with Texas and the Muslims? Something out there. Something about a Muslim situation. Because Dearborn, Michigan, where my sister lives right by, they're doing prayer to call five times a day now. Yeah. So there there's there's a a community trying to sprout up, I think it's in the Dallas area, called EPIC. I'm not sure what it stands for. It's an abbreviation of something, but, it's it's called they call it Epic City, and you have to be Muslim to live there and to and to work there and to be a part of that community and so on and so forth. The the last I knew of it was to be honest with you, I kinda lost truck lost track of it, you know, once because that was popping off right before we started doing all the guest segments, so I was a little bit more in the loop on it. But since we're doing all the guest segments, I kind of drifted away from it. So I'm really not up to speed.
But the last I heard about it is that the governor's office is actually was able to to to get some some some things in motion there to to to prevent this city from coming about, but it might have changed since then. I'm I'm a little bit in the dark on that one. And maybe said I can find something here. And it was but just so much going on, brother. It's let me see. Epic City. See what comes up here. So, Epic City was a proposed master planned residential development in Texas situated approximately forty minutes from Dallas near the town of Josephine, spanning four zero two acres, across unincorporated portions of Collin and Hunt Counties, initiated by the East Plano Islamic Center. That's what it means. East Plano Islamic Center Epic. The project was to be managed and affiliated by by its affiliated entity, Community Capital Partners with Imran Chowdhury.
I was I'm saying that right serving as executive officer. Let me just skip on ahead here, so multiple multiple state investigations were launched against Epic City in April 2025 leading to a temporary halt construction. These investigations prompted by concerns over land use, business structure, transparency, potential violation of consumer protection, and funeral service laws. Texas Rangers also lost it also launched an investigation to epic for potential criminal activity to this, though the specifics were not disclosed. The DOJ initiated civil rights investigation in May over allegations of religious discrimination.
But but closed it in June 2025 after developers confirmed their adherence to Fair Housing Act and and the project's inclusive intent. So Colin County Commission's Court held a public hearing on the project in June, reflecting ongoing local state level debate. As of October 2025, the project remains in a state of regulatory limbo with no construction underway and multiple investigations pending. So thank you. Thank you, Brave Search. That's that's the broad I don't use Google. Google's I see the world has collapsed since the government shutdown. Yeah. Actually, that that's something else too. I that's it it it's it's amazing. All the all the hubbub about the government shutdown. Hey, thank you, man. Shut it down. Keep it shut down. Crickets? I wish I could do those cricket sounds. I wish I was I had to have a kind of talent to do cricket sounds.
[00:24:21] Unknown:
You know? Okay. It's a government network.
[00:24:26] Unknown:
There you go. Like the world has not come to an end. You know, life goes on, services are still being met. Mail mail got delivered today? Mail the Bell did get through, yes. Now I got another one of those lovely notices, yes. Yep. Got that stuff. You know, it the whole thing is that it's the Democrats are trying to get to to keep paying for the health care for illegal immigrant illegal illegal aliens that are here in this country right now. Even though they deny that and they say, no, that's not what it's all that's exactly what it's all about. That is what they're holding all this up for. Sure. They're they're fighting to hold to to to keep paying for, illegal aliens to get health care on you and I. You and I can barely afford to pay our medical bills, but yet the illegal aliens, the Democrats wanna keep on giving them money to let to so that, you know, to pay all their bills. So but on your back, on my back. They're they're future voters. Of course. Of course. That's the whole point. Let's see what else. Let me look into let's look through let's look through some headlines here, brother.
So well, here here's here's a no shocker. Here's a no shocker. Let me see. Maybe I could, let me screen share this. So this is from a site called, Just the News. Gee, look at that. FBI snooped on phone calls of the GOP members of Congress in the wake of January 6, unearthed doc shows. Jack Smith, as a Biden justice department special counsel reportedly snooped on the private conversations of eight Republican senators and one GOP house member as part of his investigation into January six Capitol riot. Really? What a surprise.
[00:26:13] Unknown:
So, Joe, put your Sherlock Holmes hat on for a second. Okay? Then your get your magnifying glass. Has anything really changed under Kash Patel in in in, AG Bondi? Yeah. You know? Since you since they've raised their hands. I I raised my hand. I'm a retired federal employee, and I did sort of my country with some things. And, I I understand raising the right hand, but I don't know that they had a lot of bark at the beginning. I had a lot of, like, you know, when I see Trump and Kid Rock and Dana White and, all the rest of the group there, Elon Musk walking down in that, you know, Madison Square Garden, your old neighborhood there. I had this, like, almost, like, pumped up hype about, yeah, let's rock. You know? And some of the things. It's like, I don't know.
What has she done, Bondi? AG Bondi? Nothing
[00:27:12] Unknown:
of significance that I've seen. I I'm I'm I'm incredibly disappointed with with AG Bondi. I am incredibly disappointed with Kash Patel. Yeah. I mean, I don't know, dude. I did I think Vangino
[00:27:23] Unknown:
is trying, but I think deep back and behind closed doors, maybe they're giving the old, you know, you better settle down here, man. You're you're getting too hyped up because Well, I think that's why they brought in their, their their co deputy director.
[00:27:35] Unknown:
Is that it? That's what I think. That's my opinion, but, you know, for whatever for whatever it's worth. But, but, yeah, I I don't see anything really of any significance coming out of, the DOJ, under Bondi. A lot of great speeches, a lot of, you know, nice sentiments on Fox News and all of her appearances. But I'm really not impressed. I I I think I think I don't know if she's compromised. I don't know if she's just incompetent. I I I don't know. Or same old same old? Yeah. I I just don't know. But it it's some it has but there there has to be something. It's about time we start seeing some action on these things. We do everybody's talking about, you know, I well, let me backtrack on one thing I said. I I did say that I'll believe it when I see it when they said that that they were gonna have Comey indicted.
Alright. So so I'll eat that because they did have him indicted, but do you really think anything's why didn't why didn't he get the the 02:00 in the morning or the 03:00 in the morning raid in his house? Yeah. Yeah. Why why did he get why did he get to turn himself in? How how long is this gonna fester before it actually and it comes up? And do you really think for a second he's gonna get convicted of anything? Zero. I don't think so.
[00:28:51] Unknown:
Tom Cruise, sir. I'll talk the other time. I mean, I No, Joe. I get I get two phone calls a month, and that was one.
[00:29:05] Unknown:
Yeah. I know I know he serious. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. But
[00:29:10] Unknown:
it it's like kind of like I was I was old enough. I was in grade school when Watergate was going on. Those guys got put in jail. Mhmm. They literally got what they would do and all the things they've done is nothing compared to what Obama did from 8AM to noon. Serious. Those guys got busted. They got years behind bars. They got indicted. Yeah. They wrote books and made TV shows, and they found awards, some of them. And, yeah, they all had their they all come and gone. But here, there is no real justice in in that. I and the thing I've I've gone through, and I, just went through some of my buddies, the old talk around the old table type thing. You know, Kennedy, Martin Luther King, UFOs, Epstein, those things, how significant are they that they will affect our our country? You know, they're not gonna affect anything in the sense of how we live, taxes, etcetera, etcetera.
So you look at that, what significance are they gonna have an effect? JFK. I had an argument with a guy. He he could not believe I was such an idiot that I believe that someone besides Oswald shot Kennedy. I mean, I'm serious. That guy thought that was it. And, Michael Medved, a former, big TV guy, he's a he has a TV show out here. He was all saying Us conspiracy whack jobs to think it was other than Oswald. It doesn't I'm not saying it doesn't matter, Joe. What is the word I'm looking for? It doesn't have any significance on the way we live our lives, and I never ever thought any of these things would come. I actually called it all. I said, if any of this comes to light, like, you know, there was a special show. Yes. And here's the guy that we found out who took the headshot.
Here's the guy who covered here's the guy who got, whatever, Jacob, whatever the name of Jack Ruby set up. None of that's gonna happen. I mean, if it happens or doesn't happen, but that's that's what we were looking for. How did they pay Jack Ruby to get rid of this guy and how they took the body? All those things, it's not gonna come to that because they should have already had it. I think if you ask Bobby Kennedy junior, is he's kind of the the probably the probably the one person who could actually have some significance. You know? Just let it go. He, you know, he he knows that his father and his uncle were assassinated by the CIA, and that's good enough for me.
I I really respect him. And even though, like I said, he's a so called democrat, But, Epstein thing, it's a deeper, darker thing. And I want a new t shirt, and I want a billion dollars for it. It's no longer the deep state. It's the dark state. Yeah. I agree with you.
[00:31:43] Unknown:
Here's an update on, this this is as of 5PM today, on Comey. His arraignment moved up, to Wednesday morning for security reasons. So the arraignment of four former FBI director James Comey was moved up to Wednesday morning at 10AM for security reasons. Multiple previously scheduled matters that were expected to draw large numbers of people to the courthouse at the same time as the arraignment. Comey was originally set to be arraigned this Thursday morning after he was indicted by a grand jury in Eastern District Of Virginia last month. His case was assigned to US district judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee. Well, there there was that.
The FBI is now actively working to put together a team to arrest Comey between now and his court appearance on Thursday, but other FBI supervisors have also refused to cooperate, said a source knowledgeable about the conversations, and a law enforcement source familiar with the situation. The expectation is that the FBI will eventually find somebody. That's that's pathetic.

Yeah. That's that's don't get expectations high in any of this stuff. And when they were talking about it before I guess, when after Trump got voted in and, you know, all of the inauguration stuff, I go, it's what what's what's it gonna do to change our country or anything that's significant UFOs? You know, some of the stuff when you ask Trump, he looks at you. Like, in some of these interviews, he's UFOs. He's I think I'm thinking about, you know, you know, the the stock market or, you know, how we can, you know, you know, get the economy going. You feel so far as a drop. What do you think about the UFOs they found in New Mexico or whatever? It's I don't know. I was just thinking about, you know, next week, I'm gonna, you know, talk to the prime minister or whatever country. You know? And so, but, and the things in Israel, what's going on, I just I can't I haven't really I don't wanna dig in anything this week, Joe. I just don't want it in my brain. Yeah. I wanted a time out with my head. I mean, I was I sat on the TV. I don't have any I live out in the mountains because I have no, like, watching football sports. I literally it's almost like I have to get on the phone, put it on one thing, and get another. I'm, like, holding my hand up up here kind of to get the ball game, and that's all I was really listening to.
And I was sitting there and I go, you know, Rosanna, I go and just sitting back here, I says, all I need is some some nacho chips and dip and a beer, but, you know, that'll never happen. I kid you not. She said it right down. She said, you know what? She goes, I enjoy you doing this because, you know, Wayne, you have not a lot a lot of knowledge on these things and, you know, it's way up. She doesn't get involved with any of it. You couldn't ask her. She wouldn't tell you who is Democrat, Republican, and that's okay. That's okay. She says, just tell me what's going on, you know, if it's important. So I said, yes. This this Israeli thing is kind of, kind of eye opening. And I said something to somebody, and, oh my gosh, I get a knee jerk reaction. I said, some of the things Trump is setting up let me just say this. Disclaimer.
My pastor actually had a disclaimer this Sunday. He said, he said, you know, at the Charlie Kirk Memorials, I've seen mostly a 100% of them. Everybody had candles and peaceful. He goes, other ones I've seen in burning cities, he said, when other people have been Yeah. Taken out. But, the the thing of it is I go the thing with Netanyahu and Trump and what he was reading it about, because I have some background in in in Israel because I was married to Israel. And so it's it's interesting what they're proposing, what they're proposing, and how many countries are involved with this. Indonesia. People don't know this, but there's more Muslims in Indonesia than anywhere else.
People don't understand that Muslim doesn't mean Arab. I have a friend who's Lebanese. Oh, is he Islamic? I go, no. He's Lebanese. He's Christian. Islam is a faith. Arabism. To me, it's ethnicity. I don't believe in race. Like, you're a racist. I believe in bigotry and those those words. Race, we're all one race. The whole word racist is misused of my personal belief, but he's just the Arab guy that's not Muslim. So, you know, so okay. Yeah. Saw this one? No. I had this is like I said, I've been able to go look for everything. So,
[00:36:02] Unknown:
Yeah. So this is, Sean Miller wrote this for US News and his post up on Infowars. On Monday, Axios reported that president Donald Trump held a phone call with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the White House's Gaza peace plan, getting traction from both the Jewish state and Hamas. During the call, the Israeli leader reportedly told the president that his peace plan doesn't mean anything, and it's nothing to celebrate, to which Trump hit back asking Netanyahu why he's always so effing negative.
[00:36:29] Unknown:
Right. Did he really say it? I guess.
[00:36:33] Unknown:
Let's see. This is, from Donald Trump's truth post. There have been very positive discussions with Hamas and countries from all over the world, Arab, Muslim, and everyone else this weekend, to release the hostages and end the war in Gaza. But more importantly, finally, have long sought peace in The Middle East. These talks have been very successful and proceeding rapidly. The technical teams will meet again Monday in Egypt to work through and clarify the final details. I am told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I'm asking everyone to move fast. I will con I will continue to monitor this centuries old conflict. Time is of the essence or massive bloodshed will follow something that nobody wants to see. And there's
[00:37:11] Unknown:
Alex Jones pouting away. You tell them. You tell them, Alex. So, I mean, they have their forever wars over there too. I mean, we they call it This is this is a conflict that's been going on for centuries. Yeah. Centuries, centuries, and centuries. So, like I said, interesting stuff that's happening over there that's has, prophetic implications. You could call it that. So but I just I I I chose my life to live on a farm this week, but very limited outside interference, other than listening to the Detroit Tigers and Sierra Mariners.
[00:37:46] Unknown:

[00:39:02] Unknown:
Well, I get all those lunatics up in up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, you know, for the Packers, you know, that it's like 10 degrees below zero, and they're out there with their no shirts on, their whole body's painted to Packers' colors.

He is like he's like a giddy kid when it comes to his wife. And, you know, but but he likes to twist her balls, man. I do. Not that she has any. We know she doesn't have any. We know she's a woman. We understand that. Got few no balls. There you go. I I I told people in church, I go, my wife has more free will balls than you guys do.
[00:40:18] Unknown:
You guys don't stand up for anything. No. I said this. What do you guys stand up for? Really? It's like, you know, we're going to a rally downtown for the for the unborn. That's crazy. We don't need you. We don't need you. I'm sorry. But I said, don't worry what I'm gonna be telling you. Worry about what the lord will be telling you. Amen. And I saw she's got she's got some female testicles, but, we have we have a thing that works out. But it was really good. I went on Facebook, a 100 comments. It was great because all the people from Michigan put their mouths in, and the people from the West Coast put their mouths in it. It was a good one. Because I said, we'll be sitting on the opposite ends of the couch tonight. So but, hey, Joe. I I wanna like I said, I gotta ask you a question here.
I just have this concern with Trump. Okay? And I tell people I gotta slow it down. A lot of things he does I mean, is he getting so much outside information or input from different people? Like, you know, it's a big, beautiful bill and so many other things that I know Trump's a fast actor not actor. Just a fast he does things fast, makes decisions fast, and I go, you know, I sent this to somebody, and I was gonna say it a minute ago. That's how I'm saying it. He's setting things up for who's ever after him to have a lot of things at their hands, like the military, the trillion dollar budget.
It's a lot of weapons. It's a lot of things to get on your hands there and a lot of different other things. Like, all I'm asking, is it true? I do not know that one of the big beautiful bill everything's gonna have a name, really. There's some AI spyware in there. Something of that nature. Yes. See, I have a knee jerk there. I I you know, like I said, I'm I'm gonna besides Alex Jones, Art Bell. There was a guy, Art Bell. I like like I said, I've told you this on the show many times before. He's a legend of legends. I mean, this guy was way and and Jones have said, this guy was like a pioneer, with air quote. I I don't do air quotes. I'm gonna say air quote now because I'm doing my own everyone wants to do this, I say air quote. Air quote, he was the conspiracies, breaker back then. Art Brow, he would cut it to the phone, man. Let's see what you're really talking about. Is this really true?
And, some of the conspiracy, type stuff that's happening, you know, that, you know, AI concerns me. In in in the book of Daniel, knowledge will increase faster than ever. And the AI, it can't get more faster than I could be around. See, let's see. Can't get much more faster than AI. So the big beautiful bill allocates $6,100,000,000
[00:42:57] Unknown:
for AI powered border surveillance systems under the Department of Homeland Security. 450,000,000 for AI on autonomous robotics and naval naval ship building, 145,000,000 for AI in aerial and naval drones, $2.50 250,000,000 for AI projects within the US Cyber Command, 115,000,000 for AI systems to protect nuclear facilities from cyber attacks, 200,000,000 is designated to improve the Pentagon's financial audit system, a 150,000,000 is provided to Department of Energy to develop and share AI models and data for energy innovation.
[00:43:29] Unknown:
Mhmm. So Mhmm. It's Russia we go, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm looking to see. Question. How about after Trump's gone, whose hands will that be into then? Is it gonna be a blue governor? Because we go black, blue. Now we got a real liberal off the off the charts live now, and he's got that in his hands, not Trump and Trump's people. That's where Wayne goes. Gotta have a concern there because it might be in Trump's court right now, and he's getting it put together. But what about the people after him? Who's gonna reoperate in these things? Is it gonna be some
[00:44:05] Unknown:
leftist psycho? Well, yeah. I mean, because, you know, the states retained the full authority to regulate the AI. Okay. So it's, that is just and that's what they were fighting against. They didn't want states to do that. They wanted to keep under federal control. But, yeah, but but, you know, to to to, I guess, kind of answer the question. I think that I think Trump is moving as fast as he is because he understands that every every minute of every day matters because he's only has the one term to do everything he set out to do. And, so I think that's why he's keeping the hours that he's keeping. He's why I think he's keep that's why I think he is, is moving as fast as he is on these things and trying to get these things done.
Look. I I support President Trump. I I think Yes, you do. You know, I I I I appreciate You're both good times. Yeah. Same. I I appreciate, you know, what I I appreciate the the the the intent to, rebuild America. I I I I get that. But I'm gonna be very honest with you. Alright? And this might, you know, piss some people off, and if it does, okay. Fine. But has have you seen any real impact in your life right now from what his administration is doing? Other than the fact of, you know, the of the riots and and and and the border close. And I'm talking about your quality of life, because I'm gonna be very honest. I'm gonna be very honest. I again, I I I I love President Trump. I love what he's doing and and has done. I like what he's trying to do, But I'm telling you, I when he when they get up on in at that podium, and they talk they talk about prices are down, inflation is down, gas prices are down, all that stuff. I'm like, where?
Where? Where where is all that down? Guam? Because it's not here, where I am in Texas at least. It it, gas, I I passed the gas station here, this morning, and it was like, almost $3 a gallon. Yeah. I know you. You guys five we gotta speak speak because this is audio also folks. So $5 a gallon for you. You know, Speechless. Yeah. I get it. So $3 almost $3 a gallon here. I I went to the supermarket this weekend, and I bought, I think it was like it was like 8 thing no. I'm sorry. 11 items. Now that I remember. It was 11 items. It was $97 for 11 items.
Where are prices down? I just got hit with I just got you well, you know, I've been talking about this. I just got hit with this escrow thing here. My property taxes have gone up. My school taxes have gone up. I don't have kids.

Why am I paying a school tax? Right. Yeah. It it does just doesn't make sense. And then the state tax, city tax, all that stuff. And then here in Texas, at the at the Texas house, they, representatives like like Brian Harrison, who's fantastic by the way, if you you need to check him out. I've been pushing and pushing and pushing to get the state legislature to let's legislature to to get rid of property taxes in the state of Texas.
[00:47:37] Unknown:
Right.
[00:47:38] Unknown:
And they tabled it. They don't even wanna vote on it. They don't even wanna talk about it. Right. Not even open for discussion, but what did they do? They increased. Mhmm. You know, so you tell me where these prices are so much better, where where the cost of living is so much lower than it was four years ago. I don't see it. I don't see it at all.
[00:48:00] Unknown:
Well, my accountant is she she just gave the state of the union address for our family here. She said, buckle up. Lily, buckle up. I mean, we went over our stuff. Our we do every month. We do our checks. She she does the accounting, but we'll sit together and go through it. And I go, okay. She's working Sunday. She gets a different model. I said, okay. And so I go, we're literally treading water. And, you know, you'd be shocked at what we make. I don't wanna say what it is. You go Of course. Yeah. I'll I'll do this. I'll do this. My son said, yeah, dad. Me and wife, he works at a really good company called Warehauser. He pays really well. Mhmm. He's a log driver. And so and she works at another company, that that's a a waste management name. Let's say I think he said 112,000 because we broke even.
We broke even. That's pathetic. Mortgage. His mortgage. His in his property insurance. Let's go to property. Okay? Mortgage, property insurance, car insurance for two, three vehicles. That's those first three right there. That's per month. And then we got talking about federal tax, Social Security. Mhmm. He started dwindling it down. He's got five kids. He goes, we broke even, literally. Because when he get we always get a good check IRS check-in the next year because all the write offs and stuff. But he goes, heck, dad. I mean, I don't see how anybody can make it at 50,000 a year now. It's impossible. Yeah.
50,000. If I was a family, if I was, like I said, I was just a a loans, loan wage earner and wife stayed at home. Oh my gosh. Like I said, I I we don't have a food budget. That's the thing upon it because freaking give me a spear and I'll feed you. Oh, you're so sustainable, that which is great. Yeah. I mean, and we just can't 50 quarts, quarts, 50 quarts of apple sauce, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Because that's the way we eat. And you're you're sending me some of that applesauce. Right? Because I don't know. I love applesauce. We really are. I'm just kidding. No. No. No. It's gonna happen. And so, the thing of it is the main thing I got is the food. I got that covered. I got that covered, but the other says it's killing us. Like I said, the property tax is literally I I said to wife, I go, what they're charging for property tax takes my first three months to take home.
That's and that's ridiculous. That's So January, February, March are done. I'm not even breaking even yet. Mhmm. I'm underwater. So April, I start April is January 1 for me. So prep and I wrote Trump. I wrote, Elon Musk. It's as big as legal. I know postal guy might protect. I got the biggest piece of postal package that you're right with big poster on there. And my my case is I I'm I served my country. You served your country. And I still I'm owed seventeen years back pay. A federal judge ruled in my case that I was illegally dismissed, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And that's not including OPM, which owes me twenty four months of my regular check. That's that's really my retirement. The first one the lawsuit was, and now my back pay twenty four months. I I still haven't got paid. That started back in 2021. So OPM does everything by paper. So I wrote all the administrator. I wrote everybody in the in the in the universe. I wrote I wrote the White House. And I'm going, you know, Trump, if you just give me five minutes and I could tell you, have the judge rule in these cases. We've got everything settled. The liability is on our side. The judge has ruled. And the EEOC judge has said, well, I'm gonna take into the appeal, which they already voted they've got voted. She already ruled there'd be no more appeals.
And what the same same thing I heard in, 2024, we'll have this case ruled in 2025, early twenty twenty five. Now I got we'll have this case ruled in early twenty twenty six. It's been nine years. I just wanna Joe, just wanna I just want what I work for. So so even no matter who I wrote, what legislators, what governors, what I've written everybody. Presidents, everything else is getting better. They don't care. See, the thing is they don't care. They want your vote. And Trump, like I said, I mean, it's it is almost like the meet the new boss. Old boss meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss. And I people my buddies are getting discouraged because they are they're Trumpers. Some of these guys are old school MAGA Trumpers, and they're, like, starting to go, you know, Social Security went up $7 this year Oh. Or or whatever. I'm I'm just making a joke. I will probably figure it out by here that Half of a Starbucks coffee. Yeah. Well, it it my thing is, mine went up $48 last year, but they took out $64 more for Medicare.
[00:52:31] Unknown:
That's that's that's ridiculous.
[00:52:33] Unknown:
So it's it's it's set up for it's set up for It's set up to fail. For the for the work there's no more middle class. It's the working class to never succeed. Yeah. And if you do, you get a capital. Like I say, if I got a grandson, hey, grandson, I bought this property for $25. I'm gonna sell it for 800,000. I'm just saying, you know, whatever. A 100,100 thousand. I'm gonna get ringed before it. There's no there's no way a guy like me can even make an investment without getting reamed for capital gains in the state of Washington. It's the work. We have the worst state capital gains tax in America. Yeah. It's crazy what it is. 48% or something like that. And so the stuff I have for my son, I can't even invest for my grandson. I you know, it's like, you know, Lord, can't we just cheat a little bit?
Can we just cheat a little bit? You know? Because, you know, Lord, actually, some of this is illegal. I I understand paying Caesar with Caesar, and I don't wanna pay Caesar and Caesar's mafia too. Yeah. Because that's not in the Bible. I'll pay Caesar, but I'm not lord, I'm not gonna pay Caesar's mafia no more. I'm literally I'm they're not gonna do nothing. I'm just saying, Joe, it's getting discouraging because, I mean, Rosanna, she goes in at 3AM, comes home at 12:30, and it's like she's like, okay. And I'm watching her. It's like, I don't want her to become an old person by 55 and what have you. So, I mean, I said, by gosh, by golly. It's like, if I have to, I'll sell a farm and go somewhere else.
But, I there's just a there's a sentiment there or whatever the word is that word is. Just the attitude of people are starting to get discouraged, and it's not even the first year. You can get some nice ranch land down here. Yeah. I actually texted some of my My friend's son moved down there. He he got a house and 25 acres, like a 118,000 or something like that. Yeah. It's
[00:54:14] Unknown:
still somewhat affordable. But then the but it's it's cheap it's cheap to purchase it, but they kill you with the freaking property taxes.
[00:54:20] Unknown:
Yeah. Exactly. But so,
[00:54:22] Unknown:
it's just And I know I'm not and and look, I I know I I have people that listen up on the East Coast also. I know New Jersey has the worst property taxes, and New York's property taxes are crazy, and Connecticut. And all those places. Yeah. All blue cities and states and whatnot, but you know it it's and they just they just make it so incredibly difficult for you just to live your life, you know. If if they got rid of the taxes, set up, and and had just a sales tax. That'd be perfect. It would be absolutely perfect because then all the all the all the the the the Liberals who bitch and complain about the rich paying their fair share of taxes, well there you go. They'll they'll be paying because I'm not going out to buy a a a Yacht? A billion dollar yacht, neither are you, and but they are, and they'll pay the tax on that. So Right. 10%. Let's just say Whatever. Who was it? Was it Ross Perot? He was an old guy that the the first Bushman. Yeah. Yeah. He said, how was that that what did he say that? What was that whistling sound? That's the jobs leaving America. Yeah. That, what was that? NAFTA.
[00:55:25] Unknown:
Oh, that was a great plan. But he was the guy who said, let's get a flat sales tax across America. Mhmm. Okay? And like I said, in Oregon, we're across the border here. They don't have an income tax or or they have an income tax. They don't have a sales tax, and you get reamed. Okay. It's a totally re it's the opposite over here. We don't have an income tax, but we got a sales tax, but we got a property tax. You don't have a state income tax there? I'm surprised. It's a blue state. Long before blue, it was it was it was this this was built on what? Rugged individuality.
This was the the people who went up to Alaska, the mine. This was the eighteen hundreds where guys ended their their their trail, and they they built log houses, and they trapped, and they furred, and they all have stuff like that. And they they were rugged, and they they they had a a work ethic, you know, until, you know, liberalism caught up in here and California caught up in here, actually, the eighties. Right. Nineteen eighties. I got here in '81. It's 8990, it started to turn, you know, liberal California California caters. But it it they they they didn't have a, an income tax.
So that's why a lot of football players wanna come here in Florida. That's why they sign for free agents. They don't have that here. Yeah. But, yeah, they they said that. Let's just have a sales tax, across the board and
[00:56:44] Unknown:
Well, there's a lot of plans like that. They're like consumption taxes. I mean, the Right. You got you got the fair tax, you got the flat tax, you got all the all these options out there. How about no tax?
[00:56:55] Unknown:
You know what? Yeah. I'm getting kinda a little frosty over these tippers. I'm gonna pay the subway girl a tip. Oh, yeah. Mayonnaise or mustard. Yeah. Go down the next tip, please. And here, they're making $18.16 bucks an hour at minimum wage in this state. You know what the minimum wage here is at Texas? What's that? $7.25. Yes. It's it's like $14.15 dollars here. And places have gone under. They you got kiosk everywhere at McDonald's. Oh, sure. Yeah. There's so, it is really I think we came up with something like taxes are such a burden. That's why the colonial said it. Taxation without representation. And when that's and that's exactly what you're getting too. And, you know, Joe, I don't mind paying my dollar if the road gets fixed. I've never had that beef. I've told the liberals this. I've never had that beef. But, man, we have this thing called a, it's a discover pass.
What's a Discover Pass? Well, you have to have this to park your truck. You can go fishing over by the by the boat launch or whatever by the fishing launch. What do you mean? I have yeah. You gotta get rid of it now. You gotta take it for, like, $60. You have to have this little thing you buy. It's called Discover. Well, did we get anything extra? Did did they put more railing over there? Did they put an extra porta potty over there? Did they nothing. Nothing got added. You know what I'm saying? Nothing got added. No. Because it's all for administrative costs. The they didn't add up cut the brush so more guys could fish over here. It's just the tax. And now I went up $5 more from this year.
So it's taxation without representation. And the people that think I'm I'm barking up a wrong tree. No. I said it's not. It's just forget about the state. All these extra taxes are going to the general fund. Mhmm. That's a whorehouse, man. That's just a whorehouse spending right there. So Yeah. It's getting discouraged. And so, ended this note on this. So there's somebody that's coming who's gonna fix all of this. And I was reading this weekend. That's what I was doing. I was reading my bible a lot and just going back and forth on some things. And, there there isn't a pre Trevor I haven't ticked off. Sorry.
[00:58:58] Unknown:
But You haven't you haven't ticked me off. Well, you know, it's you guys are gonna be around. We're gonna be around a little longer. Oh, I you know what? I I I I do agree with that. I I think that we're we're gonna see we're gonna see a few things before we're before we're taken out of here. Yeah. Without a doubt. The word pre trib, I think, is it's misrepent. They they threw that in there a long time ago. Pretribulation.
[00:59:20] Unknown:
And the word tribulation in Hebrew is persecution. Mhmm. Yeah. Look at Nigeria. I had people stay here, from Nigeria for six months because they escaping Poka Arena, Poka Arena, whatever they call it. Their whole village got whipped out. But you see but the but the And he goes he he said he said, there's persecution. And he's he believes he said the pre tribulation, they've got it wrong on how they word it because Christians are gonna die for their faith. And they are Of course. Right now, they're dying for their faith. And that's what I've told people.
[00:59:53] Unknown:
You're gonna see some stuff you didn't maybe expect. Be prepared. Yeah. But the but the tribulation is also called Jacob's trouble. Right? Exactly. And who's who's Jacob?
[01:00:02] Unknown:
Well, my my my late wife said, yeah. Blame it on us, Jews again. Yeah. Lay it on us again. Right? Jacob's trouble. So if it's Jacob's trouble cause any problems. That's what the tribulation's for though, brother. It's it's it's for Jacob. Everybody. It's for Jacob. Here. Who who rejects Christ. Yeah. That's what I but the thing is the thing I I I put to a buddy, I go, Trump is setting up some stuff for the Antichrist to take place. We're we call Trump the Antichrist. I said, no. Listen. See, that's the problem I have, Joe. Is that everybody that need jerks on what I'm saying.
You know? Okay. You just wanna stay here in the end of Christ, don't you? I go, once again, listen to what Mike's saying. Trump is setting up some things. The thing with Netanyahu doesn't know how it's gonna play out, but all of this armory, this trillion dollar military, it's gonna be set up for it says, first horse. White horse. The first seal. Yeah. I have a white horse. He's coming to we have one world rulers. This guy in the YouTube, we're in the tribulation right now. I go, where's the one world ruler? Mhmm. Where's the don't start with me on that one.
This is read it how it's read. Where's the one world ruler? Number two, he will make war. He's gonna make war. He's gonna have a lot of armor. To deal with. Mhmm. Because he's gonna have full control of everything. That's right. You know what? He's gonna have all those things they're building. Supersonic Trump said, Trump, you know, it's gonna have the greatest rare or missile. We're gonna have the greatest, you know, submarines and tech and their a trillion dollars is a lot. Yeah. The the things that are taking place now are are are are is the precursor to a Pre cursor is a good word, Joe. So so it it you have to and they're given to us to see it as as
[01:01:36] Unknown:
markers, I think, I personally believe. You know, so okay, well you know the Bible said to look for this, and well there it is, and look for this and there it is, you know, so that's how we kinda know that, you know, where we are on that prophetic calendar or or schedule. Charlie's letting me know it's the hour's up. But, no. No. No. It's it's okay. And and then, you know, but if people really wanna, like, I like I I I laugh too when you like, you say, you know, people, oh, you're calling Trump the Antichrist. Well, no. No. I'm not calling him the Antichrist, but there there are some elements thereof and Antichrist.
But if you really wanna know the Antichrist, go to Zechariah chapter 11, it'll tell you what what to look for. You know? Right. Exactly. It'll tell you exactly what he's gonna look like, and Right. Some of the attributes that he's gonna have and and and such. So, one of those things, he's gonna have a bad right eye and a bad right arm. I don't think Donald Trump has a bad right eye or bad right arm.
[01:02:33] Unknown:
But there's a order to all of this. Of course. Absolutely. This is where the guys and me whatever you wanna call it. I don't care. Go separate paths. Follow the follow the book, and the book says the first seal. The first seal, he'll be a one world leader. He will he bring peace, but he will have full control. And then the second one says, he will start war. The third one is famine, food, can't find it. It's gonna cost a fortune, and the fourth one will be death. And death in Hades will be following them, and the court one quarter of the world will be killed. Let's let's say it's 2,000,000,000 with eight people here, 8,000,000,000 here, vice versa. Mhmm. Whatever it is. So those are all in order. And then I see this guy, and you can pour in the seven ball right now. I mean, not.
It's not bad. Trust me. Don't don't don't ask for likes and don't ask for subscriptions or subscribers.
[01:03:24] Unknown:
And I get myself taken down. The people the people who will be here when that happens Yeah. Will know. Yeah. It is not as a matter of fact, you know, on on on the Sunday show, I'm teaching through I'm teaching through the book of Proverbs right now, and well, I've got through it. I'm kind of doing like like a like a survey of it, and we're picking out topics. And yesterday we yesterday I taught on dealing with fools, and, and, and how to avoid fools. So, when when we're finished with with, the study on on Proverbs, I'm debating. I'm thinking about which way to go. I don't know if I'm gonna teach through the book of Revelation, or if I'm gonna teach dispensationalism.
I'm I'm just I'm not sure which way I'm gonna go yet. I can go either way because I have I already have outlines and and such for for all of it.
[01:04:14] Unknown:
So See. I I get I tell everybody, I don't I'm not a dispensationalist. I'm not a pre triver. I'm not a post triver. I'm just right today. I I am my major one thing is
[01:04:25] Unknown:
occupy till he comes. Mhmm. That's it. That's not what you're that's right. Right now, today, he said, save tomorrow for tomorrow. Yeah. Well, a lot a lot of people get caught up in in in in the terminology, you know, dispensation list interest. Look. I if if I if I had to put a label on myself, if I had to Mhmm. I would say I am dispensationalist Mhmm. Pre trib, pre wrath, all that stuff. But I also believe the book. Mhmm. That's the main thing. You know, if anybody asks is well what does the book say? I'm a bible believing Christian before a dispensationalist, before a pre trib. Now, my understanding of scripture is from the dispensational pre trib trip, point of view. So that's how I look through scripture and and teach it, because it just makes sense.
But do you have to be dispensational? Do you have to be treatment? No. Listen. I'm not I'm not. I'm just not I can't even go with all Right. That's my point. That's my point. You know, there are a lot of saved people who are not dispensationalists.
[01:05:38] Unknown:
My You know? The guy I I cut my teeth on, doctor Walter Martin. Yeah. And him and Chuck Smith went back and forth. Sure. Yeah. He said he said, but it's not a salvation issue, guys. It's not. It's not when you That's not when they get you're not getting with your buddy. You don't you don't wanna invite him over no more because that old dog, he's thinks we're gonna be here longer, Helen. I don't know, man. I'm not having him over anymore. Right. And that's the point I was just gonna make. You know? It because it's it's not a matter of self.
[01:06:02] Unknown:
If you and I, you're you're not a dispensationalist, you're not a trip, pre trip guy, I am. I'm gonna ask you a question. Okay, I'm gonna ask you a question. Wayne, do you believe that is the blood of Jesus Christ and that alone that saves you? It's the only thing. There you go. The only thing. Then you know what? Then then we can have fellowship. Right. Right. There's no reason for us to argue. There's no reason to argue. You can lay out your your case. And when I say when I argue, I say argue, you know, I mean like debating and laying out your case, you know. You could do that. It I'm I'm not gonna love you any less. Right. I may not agree with you, you may not agree with me, but as long as we can agree that it's through Christ alone Mhmm. That you get to that that that you get to heaven, and it's a gift. It's not works. It's nothing that you could do or I could do that could get me into heaven or anybody else for that matter. Right. Right. Right. It's not praying to Mary, it's not praying to the saints, it's not kissing the rings the Pope's ring, it's not none of that saves you.
The only thing that saves you is putting your full faith, trust, and confidence in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that alone. That's it. And God did that in this time period to make it so simple. It's not it's not going through leaps and bounds, and having to do this, and having to do that, having to wash this way, and eat this, and eat that. Nothing to do with it. It's putting your faith in the blood of Christ that he was the perfect sinless sacrifice made for you, made for me, and made for the world. Now it's up to us to accept the gift. It's up to us to do that. It's up to us to say, you're right. I'm wrong. Forgive me.
That's up to us. You can he Christ died for the world, but you gotta accept the gift. Just because he died for the entire world, he he all that means is that he died to cover the sins of the world, but you have to you have to come to him.
[01:08:12] Unknown:
And then the number one thing he told Nicodemus is be born again, you have to repent. Yeah. Repent means not the same guy who you were. At least who I was. I go with myself. I don't know why. If you've seen me before, I've repented. He probably wouldn't go out with me. Okay? That's a given. Mhmm. Most likely. It just we're all different attitudes. It's a whole thing about it all. So I I don't know who said it, and I repeated it to somebody I go. We're gonna pass we're gonna die is is Hebrews is to die and then the judgment. That is in scripture. That is scripture. To die and then to the judgment. So it's it's I said, it's gonna be a it's I said, you're gonna have a court appointment immediately.
Yeah. You either will have a lawyer or you won't. Mhmm. Yep. That's it. That's that's that's a stone cold truth that that old wrestler said. So what does that mean, Wayne? I go, well, you're gonna stand before the throne. And it's and he's gonna say, you know, is his name in the book of life? Jesus will step forward. Father, remember remember when Wade confessed me before men to thousands of people or just whatever. It wasn't his words. He he had every chance he could, and he confessed the lord Jesus Christ. Mhmm. He followed me because he repented because of the blood Mhmm.
And the cross. So I would have stand up for Wayne and say, yes, father. I'm gonna confess him to you. That's right. Mister x y z, next. Is the name in the book of life? Where's my lawyer at?
[01:09:40] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[01:09:41] Unknown:
It's an advocate. Jesus is an advocate. Which in some, technologies, you know, legal advice is The best lawyer you can have. A lawyer. Right? The best lawyer you can have, brother. Best lawyer you can have. You won't have a lawyer. Open the books then. His name's not in there. And Jesus won't even be so all he's gonna say is, I didn't know the guy. Father, I didn't know him. Mhmm. He people don't understand that the the the the naysayers say this about Jesus. Well, he must have been on to be smart if you didn't know him. No. I, hypothetical. Oh, I know Joe Roode.
The name of him, I've heard of him, but I don't know him. We haven't had pizza together or a good calzone or something. I I don't know him like that. I know I know him about his show or his name, but I've never known him personally. Personal relationship. Right. It's a personal relationship that he knows you. He knows everybody's name. And so and that was pretty cool because I was talking to my wife. I said, it's gonna be like a court, appearance. Mhmm. And you're gonna have the best attorney That's right. History of attorneys. And when all those attorneys show up there. So God help them. Not a laughing matter, but it that's why I just, you know, pre trip, this is I go, mine is this this the race continues.
Mhmm. That's all it is. I mean, the the the time slot will be right there. I just tell everybody and I got in a lot of heat for this, mister Joe Ruiz. I got heat where they pull the mic from at a men's, and they pulled the mic on me. God. God. God is mic. Oh, like this?
[01:11:09] Unknown:
Like, mute. You like that?
[01:11:11] Unknown:

[01:11:14] Unknown:

[01:11:27] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:11:28] Unknown:
I I I repent. I the promise that I made was, I used to do a show back in New York with a couple of friends of mine. I loved it. I I loved your tapes, man. Oh, thank you. I wish I was there. I wish I could go back in time. Oh, they were yeah. They were fun. They were hilarious. I've enjoyed being with you guys. And, so and I made a promise because, my my partner Jay Jay. What he would do if if he didn't want if if he disagreed with you or if or if he felt you were going too long, he would just mute your mic and you wouldn't even know it, and you wouldn't find out till later on. And I I swore up and down, I would never do that to anybody, and I just did it. Even though I was only kidding around, I said I actually liked it it because that happened. So I was got to speak at this real
[01:12:09] Unknown:
fast. And, at the it was a men's breakfast thing. And I said, so who's the speaker today? And he goes, I don't know. We're having burritos. I go, you know, that's that's a good cause. I I can burritos here. So I got up there, and I said, this is a tragic disease that's totally infected the American church. It's made of practically helpless and unmotivated. It's called rapturitis.
[01:12:34] Unknown:
Okay. Explain.
[01:12:36] Unknown:
We're all just just waiting on the Lord. Mhmm. Oh, I can't or I get, I'm so tired. I cannot wait till he comes back. And what did you sacrifice for him? Have you been on the mission field? I'm not trying to point any fingers at anybody for what they've done or not done or but if you're gonna go out on a ledge, you go, oh, woah. It's me. And, you know, I I've been on the mission field for twenty years. Mhmm. I've had exhausting I mean, pulling people out of the mud from their volcano or avalanches. So it's it's it's stuff I love. I mean, it's what the lord would want me to do because I'm good at it. I'm good at at the or construction and all that stuff like that. I I know how to do those things. And when I was in North Carolina at the at the hurricane, we had to go up a hill. I go, why? I can't. Give me the backpack. I'll head on up. Because I'm Joe, I'm good at it. It's not that I'm bragging, but I'm good at that stuff. I can put a backpack on and go through the woods and find the trail and get meet you guys over with the tools. It's not it's not nothing, as they say, rocket science. Yeah. But I I I I just see the people just, it's like they're tapping out too early, and you can't just sit or he just said, if I do, he comes.
And if anything, pray. Pray for the the people in Nigeria who getting slaughtered. Yep. Of course. Right? I like I said, I know people that lost family members. They stayed here for six months in our in our house. And Well, we're told to bear one another's burdens. I mean, that's that's part of, you know, praying for someone is bearing their burden as well. You know? But I came into church on Sunday. I I my wife now works Sunday, so I everybody said, oh, his wife's his wife's not with them. So so where's where's Rosanna now? Oh, she got switched to Sundays Mhmm. At her her job. So it kinda stinks, but, you know, we'll we'll manage it. Saturday church we'll go to. But I walked into the the they they have a coffee thing there. You like it. And so I I do the same thing every Sunday. I get my dollar coffee, and the young guy, I hand it right to him and not saves, puts a square of chocolate in there for me. Nice. This is something I do. Yeah. And so I said, good morning. How are you doing? I go, how are you guys doing? I go, oh, that's right. We're the American church. We don't greet each other.

One way or another, you're gonna see me. So you know what? Might as well get used to me right now. Because I'll be over there with Jacob and the other guys. Hey, guys. How's it going, man? Paul, brother. Yeah.
[01:15:11] Unknown:

Well, you got, you know, you're gonna get a whole new body. You're probably gonna have the mind you know, you and while the scripture says you're gonna have a whole new body, you're gonna have the mind of Christ, so you're not gonna be Wayne Wayne. You'll be Wayne, but not Wayne. Yeah. Right.
[01:15:29] Unknown:

It's gonna be much better than the one we have now. Amen. Get rid of the physical stuff. I said, you know what?

And he says, like I said, but I I say stuff out loud. I do.
