Hey guys, welcome to another episode of The

0:03

Chad and Prather Show. To the point, there's

0:05

so many things to get into. I want

0:07

to tell you what I'm doing right now

0:09

and that is we've relaunched a soft launch.

0:11

Everything at my age is a soft launch,

0:13

trust me, but we've relaunched the old prathertees.com

0:15

website. It's

0:17

our store. We're getting rid of a lot of old inventory to

0:19

make room for some new stuff. For the last couple of years,

0:21

I really haven't pushed a lot of t-shirts

0:24

or hats. Just kind of sold them

0:26

on the road and did what we could. We had

0:28

76forever.com. I wasn't real happy with the direction of

0:30

that thing was going, so we pulled that down.

0:33

I think you guys deserve absolutely the best stuff and

0:36

I didn't feel like we were putting our best foot

0:38

forward, so we pulled that down and we're coming back

0:40

to PratherTees. You know, over the

0:42

years selling t-shirts, I've sold t-shirts for

0:44

30 years. All

0:47

the way back to the University of Georgia, I would walk around

0:49

and get a box of t-shirts made and I would walk around

0:51

the University of Georgia campus with them thrown over my arm and

0:54

I would sell them to whoever wanted to buy them.

0:59

I could afford to get like one

1:01

t-shirt made with about a dozen sizes.

1:05

Back then, we were all smaller, a little bit

1:07

smaller, so we got smalls through extra-largest.

1:10

I think that's as high as we went,

1:12

but anyway, we sold those t-shirts on campus.

1:14

I did. I say we like I'm schizophrenic.

1:16

I did it and I've always loved

1:18

t-shirts. You know that and so we've been

1:21

doing that and I like to bring you the

1:23

absolute best, but the best we've ever done is

1:25

when we have it in-house. I've used Say

1:28

I Want apparel as a distributor. I've

1:30

used Duck Dynasty. I've used Bigly. Same

1:33

folks that do the Hodge twins and Graham Allen right

1:35

now. Good, good friends, but he just wasn't a good

1:37

business fit and so we decided to part ways. That's

1:40

the beauty of what I do, man. I

1:42

part ways amicably with people. Like I've always

1:44

said if you got to set the business

1:46

standards right up front, have

1:49

an exit strategy, no going

1:51

in what could go wrong, and

1:53

then do business and disagree

1:56

if you have to, but then come back as friends.

1:58

That's the beauty of That's something

2:00

what we're missing in America, I can tell you that.

2:02

And our country was founded by our founding fathers. They

2:04

could disagree with each other. They

2:06

could dialogue and they

2:09

could debate. They could absolutely mortally hate

2:11

each other. And

2:13

then they could come back together and figure themselves

2:15

out and put the betterment of

2:17

the country and the Constitution back in place.

2:19

Unless you're Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. That

2:21

did not end well for Hamilton. That's

2:24

a whole other story. Okay,

2:26

so Ronald Romney McDaniel has been cast

2:28

out once again. She was kicked out

2:31

of the RNC as

2:33

the head of the RNC, which was a

2:35

good thing because dear God, what a mess.

2:37

I mean, the Republican Party in America is

2:39

an absolute nightmare. We don't

2:41

have anybody. It was on Sean Spicer's

2:43

show yesterday. And the

2:45

comment I made is I said, there's no

2:48

intestinal fortitude. You have a couple of people

2:50

who are willing to be outspoken, but they're

2:52

perceived as the crazies and they're marginalized as

2:54

such. I appreciate their voices. I love the

2:56

boldness of Lauren Bover or Matt Gaetz or

2:58

Marjorie Taylor Greene. I appreciate certain

3:00

folks like that. But again, they're always going

3:02

to be labeled radicals. And

3:04

so as I've always said, if you label somebody, you put

3:06

them in the box, you categorize them, you stick them off

3:08

and you don't have to deal with them anymore. That's not

3:11

good. So

3:14

here we are like Mike Johnson, they passed

3:16

this omnibus bill. One point was at one

3:18

point two, one point three trillion dollars. Dear

3:20

God, that's the worst thing I've ever seen

3:22

in my life. The only redeeming thing in

3:24

that bill was that

3:26

Joe Biden has the sign of bill

3:28

that makes sure that they can't fly

3:30

pride flags at US embassies across the

3:33

globe. That

3:36

goes to prove that they don't read the bills.

3:40

The fact that they did that and then

3:42

the shock, the faux outrage that

3:44

the LGBTQ, add whatever letter you

3:46

want to, the alphabet, their activist

3:49

groups, they were losing their minds. But you just

3:51

remind you, I don't care if you're a Democrat

3:53

or Republican, you're not reading the bills. But one

3:56

point three trillion dollars, I mean, that's highway robbery.

3:58

I don't like that Mike Johnson. Johnson passed

4:00

that thing. I have

4:02

hopes for Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House.

4:04

I do. I don't agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene

4:07

who is saying, hey, let's pull him down. We

4:09

don't have time for that crap right now. We

4:11

don't have time for that. We

4:14

have an election to win in November. What

4:16

we need is leadership that

4:19

the Congress, particularly

4:21

the Republicans and Mike Johnson, whoever is Speaker of

4:23

the House, can rally around because I think Mike

4:25

Johnson will be an ally to Donald Trump and

4:27

I think as it trickles down, he will be

4:30

a vocal proponent of

4:32

what Donald Trump is doing. So

4:34

I'm not opposed to Mike Johnson. Is he everything

4:37

I want? No, but nobody there in Congress is.

4:39

That's the truth. So

4:42

here we are. They passed that bill. Ronald

4:44

Romney McDaniel, who of course is gone

4:46

just a few, well, I

4:48

guess it's almost a month ago

4:50

now, maybe three weeks, and they,

4:52

you know, Laura Trump is the

4:54

vice chairman. They brought Scott Pressler

4:56

in. Incredible picks in regards to that in my

4:58

opinion. And

5:01

Ronald Romney McDaniel goes over to

5:03

NBC and

5:06

the leftist progressive media re-rearies

5:09

lost their ever loving mind.

5:11

Chuck Todd called out the

5:13

NBC executives for

5:16

having done that. I can't believe Chuck Todd

5:18

today still has a job. That is simply

5:20

something that is not done in that industry.

5:23

When you have a hired guy like Chuck

5:25

Todd, the executives at the top who make

5:27

the decisions and ultimately make the decisions that

5:29

make all the money that pays for assholes

5:32

like Chuck Todd, when you call those executives

5:34

out, typically you lose your job. I don't

5:36

care if it's Hollywood. I don't care if

5:38

it's the media. I don't care if it's

5:40

radio, all those things. You don't, if it's

5:42

a player on a team, you don't call

5:44

out the front office. You

5:46

play the game. You go with their decisions. What's

5:50

her name? Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. She

5:52

called out the craziness of them hiring

5:54

Ronald McDaniel, which again,

5:57

they perceive her as Being a Republican

5:59

conservative. the she's not but the fact

6:01

that they see her is that should

6:03

tell you how far left. All.

6:06

Of them are. It's

6:09

a debacle. But. You've been

6:11

fired from Nbc that like that to me

6:13

run around him again or has now been

6:15

fired from Nbc. I think he had a

6:17

job that lasted two days. She was willing

6:19

to call out January Six. Talk about have

6:21

been such a horrible day. she seemed just

6:23

couch out to the left his agenda in

6:25

such a way to make sure that she

6:27

had that million dollar paycheck adding an order

6:29

contract was for but they you don't mind

6:31

people like that for. Less.

6:34

Than millions. And.

6:37

I'm sure she went home pump a bottle

6:39

of champagne. She was so excited to be

6:41

a new Nbc Talking Head! It

6:44

she was willing to forgo whatever conviction she

6:47

might have ever had. A are

6:49

known to be okay. Trust me, he's got money. she

6:51

comes from it. so to be all right. But here's

6:53

the thing. That.

6:55

Litter job last is less less than a week. Is.

6:58

Hilarious to me was the moral. The story folks

7:00

the moral a story is those people will eat

7:02

you alive is a how the guards many you

7:04

go in there you go into that dinner vipers.

7:07

And you think you're going to be one of them because

7:09

you give them a little that service they will chew you

7:11

up, spit you out, and you will be unemployed. Mazda story.

7:14

So. You know, look for the

7:17

around a Mcdaniel podcast coming to

7:19

podcasts near you or whatever. but

7:21

guess service Huge views. Ill be

7:23

wanna run them again. Oversimplified. Alice.

7:26

Talk about the bridge. Or whether

7:28

snowless. Don't talk about the bridge and want to get

7:30

into that because I'm a wow you with something on

7:32

that and many of you won't be impressed with my

7:35

wow factor but I want to. Just I want to

7:37

preach to you. I'm a bit numb some to hold

7:39

Italy and. So

7:41

I don't know what to think of his old Trump

7:43

Think it was interesting that four hundred fifty million dollar

7:45

bond. Ah,

7:48

he had to. He had to

7:50

put up before. He.

7:53

Was able to appeal this absolute read:

7:55

Not going to say that word just

7:57

because I don't want to push back.

8:00

I don't apologize for the

8:02

word is damn is absolutely

8:04

stupid because they're retarded. That

8:06

Absolutely stupid. Ruling. By

8:08

the judge in New York Luggage Adams is

8:10

going after properties of Sharma. Gonna have shown

8:12

the gosh Sean I'm Sean Spicer on a

8:15

show yesterday I said to him as I

8:17

tweeted a couple weeks ago I said i

8:19

guarantee you if. Pitch. James could

8:21

get her hands on a property that's owned by

8:23

Donald Trump. The first thing they would do is

8:25

open it up the illegal aliens and they would

8:27

sort housing than their that would that to them

8:30

would be the ultimate flex. I would be the

8:32

ultimate slap in the face. That's what they want

8:34

to do. Sean was beside himself. He's like man

8:36

I can't believe I am thought of that and

8:38

like yeah he of my brain is rolling with

8:40

that thing as what they would want to do

8:42

but another he's gonna happen now I think ah

8:44

we're within a day or two of her trying

8:47

to make that effort. She's. At least going

8:49

to file the paperwork. I mean if she could be a

8:51

realtor.com taking the virtual tour right now I think that would

8:53

she be do. But.

8:56

I'm of these going to happen because trump.

8:59

They. Had that reduce the bond reduced

9:02

one hundred seventy five million. Have

9:04

a lot of money like I could probably handle

9:06

the rest of my life. Next.

9:09

Thirty years or so, I could probably live off

9:11

of the one hundred seventy five million as a

9:13

lot of money. But to a guy in the

9:15

billions annulled. I don't think that you know we

9:17

can. We talk numbers around, right? Because millions, billions

9:19

trillions. We talk about the deficit. We don't even

9:21

care about what they're doing. All this money. But.

9:27

Trump of course. The. Deal goes

9:29

with the the stock goes through the

9:31

roof like grows like sixty percent in

9:33

a day. For. Truth Social.

9:36

Trump. Hits

9:38

a windfall of billions

9:40

launches him into. The.

9:43

Top Five Hundred richest men

9:45

on the planet. That's.

9:49

Insane. Italy

9:51

comes out of the press conferences A:

9:54

how do you intend to post the

9:56

body he says cash nana Nana damage

9:58

you saw the me. Larry of

10:00

the is the boss with stuff like this

10:02

and people go but I don't understand why

10:05

they can't make eating. Stick to this guy.

10:07

Well here's a good chance you guys are.

10:10

Fully shit. Like.

10:12

There's a reason why does not sticking

10:14

to him because you have these activist

10:16

judges the app in his district attorneys.

10:21

And and you poor one strain on their

10:23

story in the whole deal unravels income support.

10:26

Thank. God, we still live in an

10:29

America where there is a little bit

10:31

of common sense out there so that

10:33

when it gets down the road. So

10:35

Bernie Madoff. Who. Literally

10:38

was the biggest. Seat

10:40

in American history in terms of of

10:42

what he took Americans for in their

10:45

10:47

10:49

Madoff. Took. Americans for.

10:53

Your his bond was who remembers. Ten.

10:56

10:58

Million. And. Trump who defrauded no

11:00

11:02

interest to the point that the banks

11:04

wanted to do more business with them.

11:06

They're going to give them a foreign

11:09

fifty million. The hard part. Of.

11:11

Victimless crime like that where the bank city

11:13

11:15

11:17

12:10

12:14

girl comes out. The talking Head on Cnn comes

12:18

he's going to get. his bond money could sell

12:20

more a lot over two hundred forty million. Two

12:23

hundred and forty million people. Would.

12:27

Have been to the eighty million would have the

12:29

eighty million valuation Stupid. I.

12:31

Listen I don't give you like Trump or not

12:33

the comments as I saw some money on social

12:36

media the day who said of i don't like

12:38

Trump but I can't stand the double standards in

12:40

the hypocrisy that everybody's doing. from the left to

12:42

the media to get to the courts that are

12:44

doing a Donald Trump is absolutely stuff and. Will

12:47

He deserves all l Come on, you can't

12:49

name a single dame. What? What do you

12:52

wanna name that Donald Trump? Did? You can't

12:54

name a single thing. Donald Trump did make

12:56

you hate him this much. The fact that

12:58

guy was in public eye for the or

13:00

fifteen years, Sixty years of his life. Was.

13:03

Revered was love with them of wrapped about

13:06

guy. Everybody loved

13:08

him. From. Oprah,

13:10

The Snoop Dogg, you name it, the

13:12

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton. Everybody loved Donald

13:14

Trump, everybody not sending out run for

13:16

office and son be public enemy Number

13:18

One. And. You can't name

13:21

one single thing with that little square box in

13:23

your living room or the phone in your hand

13:25

or the I pad or your computer. The little

13:27

thing with little doggy faces didn't tell you to

13:29

believe you can't name one single thing but are

13:32

just explicit. I know Trump said some dumb things

13:34

but not to the point. We're gonna put the

13:36

guy offer a Bond perform Fifty million dollars. Any.

13:39

Defrauded nobody. The. Banks get paid

13:42

back with interest and I wanted more business. You tell me how

13:44

that worked out. And

13:47

told you for what they're trying to do is are

13:49

trying to make sure that nobody ever comes along. nobody

13:51

ever comes along and says we're going to but the

13:54

system going to drain the swamp are going to go

13:56

out and go ever permanent washington we're gonna try to

13:58

deal with this big government bullshit nobody nobody going to

14:00

want to do that. Sean Spicer again, he told me

14:02

yesterday, he said he knows people in the Trump administration

14:05

and they've asked them, he asked me, so will you

14:07

work for Trump again in the White House and they,

14:09

they, several people said I can't afford to do it.

14:11

I have a life, I have expenses, like

14:14

it's gonna cost me everything if I do that. Bingo,

14:17

that's what they're going for. That's

14:20

what they're dealing with. They want

14:22

to make sure that people out there who

14:24

have the means, who have the ability, who have

14:26

the willingness to go out there and serve and

14:29

are willing to buck the system will never do

14:31

that ever again because look at the price that

14:33

Donald Trump had to pay. Oh

14:36

and trust me, that's the strategy. They would have done it with Ron DeSantis,

14:38

they would have done it with any nominee that was out there and

14:41

if Ron DeSantis or whoever gets

14:43

the nomination in 2028, I promise

14:46

you they're gonna do it again

14:48

because they've seen that strategy works and

14:52

they're gaslighting the shit out of anybody and I don't

14:54

even believe the word gaslighting. I don't even think that

14:56

but what they're doing is they're they're psy-oping everybody. They're

14:58

putting those buzz words in your head and those

15:00

people are believing it. $175

15:05

million Trump says I'm gonna pay cash, he's got a windfall, I

15:07

mean who knows there's estimates that he just made 6.2 billion

15:10

dollars. Damn! Damn!

15:12

Well if his daddy had not left him a

15:14

million dollars then he wouldn't be a billionaire. I

15:17

can give you a thousand dollars right now and

15:19

I guarantee you that you wouldn't bank a

15:21

million dollars off of it. Think

15:23

about that. Everybody

15:25

listen for the most part you got a thousand

15:27

dollars. Can you make a million with it?

15:31

If you don't know how to do that you tell me how

15:33

a guy can take a million dollars and turn it into a

15:35

billion dollars. Can

15:37

you take a dollar bill right now and turn it into a

15:39

thousand dollars? Do you know how to do that? So

15:42

don't give me this bullshit that Trump was some trust fund

15:44

baby, he had a silver spoon in his mouth and he

15:46

made everything because his daddy left him a million, gave him

15:48

a million dollars to invest. It's

15:51

done. I'm

15:54

drinking Woodford Reserve, it's good stuff. The

15:58

bridge, the Francis Scott

16:00

Key Bridge, Baltimore, Maryland. It's

16:02

a beautiful bridge. It's a beautiful bridge. I don't know. It's not

16:04

anymore, but sad

16:06

situation. I've watched that video numerous times today. I

16:09

woke up to it early this morning, watched it.

16:11

I think it was around 1.30 Eastern

16:13

time. Joe

16:15

Biden, oddly enough, slurred around and

16:17

said some weird stuff in his press conference today.

16:19

He said that he went, you know,

16:22

as a young man, he went over it numerous times by

16:24

car and train. It's six

16:26

miles from the closest train track. So

16:29

once again, Joe's dimension or dementia, or

16:31

he is just absolutely confusing

16:33

that bridge with something else that he ever did. I

16:35

don't know. Dementia is a weird

16:37

bitch, but here's the thing. He said it and that's

16:39

a horrible deal. What's

16:44

the girl from ESPN? What's the name?

16:46

Jamel Hill. She went on

16:48

Twitter today and said,

16:50

suddenly everybody online is an expert on bridges.

16:52

I commented and said, well,

16:54

they probably know more than the current

16:56

secretary of transportation. Pete Buttigieg doesn't

16:59

have a damn clue. He didn't know anything

17:01

to him. Everything, you know, highways, railways, bridges,

17:03

tunnels, they're all racist. He said that this press conference,

17:06

you can go to my Twitter or my Instagram and

17:08

see that video at watch chat. I posted it this

17:10

morning. He's an idiot. You

17:14

got, you got boats crashing

17:16

into bridges. And

17:19

I mean, I think collapsed immediately. That's sad. It's tragic. I

17:21

don't know how many people were on the bridge. I don't

17:23

think that anybody knows at this point. I

17:25

watched the thing slowed down. I watched it

17:28

where you could see the headlights going across

17:30

the bridge. And

17:32

I watched as it made impact and the collapse

17:34

happened. And here's the thing. Like, I pray to

17:36

God I'm right. I didn't see

17:40

headlights going across, or

17:43

at least from the vantage point, from the angle. I

17:45

saw a bunch of headlights going across. And

17:48

then when it hit, I didn't see headlights at

17:51

the collapse. I pray to God that I'm right.

17:54

That the casualties of that tragedy are

17:56

less than what people are estimating. You

18:00

still don't know? But

18:03

I don't know. That's a major deal. That's

18:05

a blow to not only a tragedy. This

18:07

is a major deal, a major date. You've

18:10

got boats running into bridges. They're

18:12

collapsing. You've got airplanes. How many

18:14

airline mishaps with like united Boeing

18:16

Airlines just in the last 10

18:19

days have happened? I want to say it's like six or

18:22

seven in the last couple of weeks. I

18:25

held my breath twice over the weekend

18:27

as I was flying on Boeing airplanes.

18:32

It's nerve-wracking man. And

18:34

again, I'm not saying that what happened with

18:37

that bridge was a DEI incident. We don't

18:39

know. We'll find out. I saw the thing.

18:41

It lost power, gained power, lost power, gained

18:43

power again. By that point it was too

18:45

late. So I'm going

18:47

to believe that

18:50

this was an accident. It's

18:54

weird though because okay so this was I

18:56

think was it Singapore, a Singapore

18:59

line that was a cargo ship. It

19:02

was Asian. I think it was Singapore and my

19:04

brain slips me. I'm like

19:06

Joe Biden right now. But

19:10

Joe Biden comes out and says the U.S. government,

19:13

the federal government's going to pay for rebuilding that

19:15

bridge. Why isn't the insurance of that freight line

19:17

paying for the rebuilding of that bridge? Why

19:20

is it that America has to pay for every

19:22

damn thing? I don't understand. Why

19:24

does that have to happen? Where's

19:26

that money coming from? 1.3 trillion

19:28

omnibus bill. You know they want 65 billion

19:31

going to Israel. They

19:33

want it going to Ukraine. They're talking about

19:35

you know Kamala

19:37

Harris is cackling down there in Guatemala. Everywhere they go

19:39

they're promising money. Money, money, money, money, money. I mean

19:42

my god that's why I didn't join a fraternity in

19:44

college. I don't want to pay to have friends. Apparently

19:48

that's what America does. We just

19:50

pay everybody to like us and they don't. They

19:54

don't. So anyway

19:56

Joe Biden is promising the federal government's going to rebuild that

19:58

bridge. Forget the fact that that

20:01

airline, that ship, that

20:03

company, that shipping company, the cargo company, should be

20:05

the ones whose insurance is paying for it, but

20:08

what are you gonna do? That

20:11

port is one of the

20:13

largest ports, if not the largest port in America.

20:16

It's where the automobiles come in, it's where our

20:18

supply chain comes in, it's where, you know, manufacturing

20:20

goods is where all these different things come in.

20:23

Transportation, supply, that's where it all comes

20:26

in and they, it's now closed. There's

20:29

a bridge in the water, it's closed.

20:34

I'm straining at the

20:37

mental handcuffs

20:39

that I have on my brain right

20:41

now, not to take this into serious

20:43

conspiracy theory territory,

20:45

but I'm not going to. I'm not going to

20:48

exploit a tragedy with that, I'm just not. But,

20:52

yeah, there's always questions, right? There's always

20:54

questions. But

20:57

here's what I think the deal is, okay?

21:00

Just bear with me here, I'm gonna make a statement. I'm

21:02

gonna take a shot of whiskey and I'm gonna wax theological,

21:04

okay? America

21:09

is a nation that

21:11

was founded upon biblical

21:13

and divine principles. Our

21:17

founding fathers, you can believe whatever revisionist history

21:19

you want to, but our founding

21:21

fathers truly believe that God's hand was

21:23

on this nation. It's

21:26

a miracle that we won the Revolutionary War, it's a

21:28

miracle that we gained our independence. It's

21:30

a miracle that something just short of

21:32

inspired canon was written, called

21:35

the Constitution of the United States. Feeble

21:38

men, young men founded

21:41

this country with an

21:43

idea. And they

21:45

knew that that idea was going to live and

21:48

flourish as long as the people of

21:50

America remained morally good. The

21:55

Tocqueville said America will be great as long as

21:57

America is good. I'm paraphrasing. Folks,

22:03

I'm telling you that America has ceased to be

22:05

good. America

22:07

has ceased to be good. America's not good anymore. Our

22:10

government is corrupt. Our

22:13

politicians are paid for. You

22:16

and I are citizens. We're swine

22:19

in the pen. That's

22:22

all we are. We're fodder. That's

22:24

all we are. We

22:26

keep this thing afloat. Historically

22:30

we've aborted a million babies a year,

22:32

sometimes more, sometimes less. We've

22:37

confused our children. We've erased

22:39

our history. We've forgotten who we are. We've

22:42

denied our destiny. We've

22:44

excluded God. We've

22:46

mocked and blasphemed faith. We

22:49

have ignored the principles that got us

22:51

here. The idea of right and

22:53

wrong has become open

22:56

to interpretation. Absolute

23:00

objective truth has become subjectively

23:02

your truth. People

23:04

can define themselves however they want.

23:08

I said to somebody today who said, well, Jesus

23:10

was the first raging liberal. Well, first of all,

23:12

I will say in this Holy Week as we

23:15

head to Good Friday and Easter, stop

23:17

interpreting Jesus according to your

23:19

political party and your belief

23:21

system. Jesus was Jesus. Sometimes

23:25

Jesus did things that you could appeal to and say,

23:27

well, that was kind of liberal. Sometimes

23:29

you could say that was pretty dadgum conservative.

23:31

Like for instance, when Jesus quoted Genesis 2

23:33

and talked about God created male and female

23:36

and for them to come together, I would

23:38

say that's a pretty conservative principle. Jesus

23:40

would be arrested in

23:42

Britain right now probably for

23:44

mispronouncing or misgendering somebody. So

23:50

there were a lot of conservative and a lot

23:52

of liberal principles, but at the end of the

23:54

day, I'm not trying to create Jesus in my

23:56

image. Okay? But

24:00

I will say this, we rejected the

24:02

church. The church has gotten weak. The

24:04

church, don't even think that

24:06

I'm protecting or defending the church. The

24:09

American church has gotten so disenchanted, disenfranchised

24:12

and powerless, where they're

24:14

more worried on Sunday morning. You're this Sunday

24:16

morning, you're gonna go to church. They're more

24:18

interested in making sure the temperature is right,

24:20

the fountains are flowing, and the coffee in

24:22

the lobby is exactly how you like it.

24:25

You're gonna get in many cases a self-help

24:27

motivational message that talks about how great you

24:29

are on the inside and how good you

24:31

could be if you just realized your potential

24:33

and not, instead of telling you that you are

24:36

an abject, frail

24:38

sinner that is destined for hell if

24:40

you don't repent and turn your life over

24:42

to Jesus Christ. If

24:48

you hear that message, then you're blessed. You're one of

24:50

the few. Because there'll be people

24:52

up there who will give you a watered down gospel. They will

24:55

not talk about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They

24:57

will not talk about the transforming power of

24:59

grace, they will not talk about the futility of

25:01

sin. They will not talk about the condemnation of

25:03

God's wrath. They will not talk about justice. They

25:06

will not teach you that grace

25:08

has a requirement, that mercy comes

25:11

with a life change. They

25:13

won't talk about that. They'll tell you

25:15

that Jesus just accepts everybody. What was the

25:18

Super Bowl commercial? He gets us, he gets

25:20

us. He gets you and

25:22

it makes you change. That's the whole deal. There's

25:24

people out there who need to realize that Jesus

25:26

ain't taking all of you to heaven. There's certain

25:28

parts he wants crucified. Pretty

25:30

much all of it and the stuff he recreates is the stuff he wants

25:33

to keep. So if you're hearing that

25:35

message on Sunday morning at your church, God bless you, I'm glad

25:37

you are. But we've turned

25:39

from the ways of God, we've turned from

25:41

our wicked, well we've turned to wickedness. Our

25:43

hearts have been hardened. We mock the things

25:45

of faith. We mock the things of scripture.

25:47

As Apostle Paul wrote in the book of

25:49

Romans, he said, we've run to iniquity. Our

25:51

mouth speaks lies. Everything with our tongue and

25:53

our feet, all of that stuff pursues after

25:55

the rebellious against God. You turn

25:57

your heart towards God, away from God. You

25:59

turn. your heart away from God long enough and I'm

26:01

just telling you, you will have

26:03

consequences. Folks, our country is not only

26:06

in a moral decline, we're in an

26:08

infrastructure decline, we're in an economic decline,

26:10

we're in a political decline, we're in

26:12

a common-sense decline. People can't think critically.

26:14

We've erased, again, history. All of these

26:17

things that we have rejected and just

26:20

failed to embrace anymore. And

26:22

so you know what happens? It'll happen to an individual, it'll

26:24

also happen to a community of people. God

26:27

turns you over to a debased and wicked mind. You

26:30

will call the things that are bad, good. You'll call

26:32

the things that are good, bad. And

26:36

everything will become backwards. So

26:39

when you see bridges collapsing and infrastructure

26:41

falling and planes, you know, and people's

26:43

lives falling apart and a divorce rate

26:46

of 60 some odd percent and

26:49

unhappy people unfulfilled two jobs in every household,

26:51

kids that don't know who they are and

26:53

don't know their parents, people

26:56

who have identity issues. Things

27:00

are falling apart in this country and I'm telling

27:02

you it's because we are in the process of

27:04

watching God's providential hand

27:06

being taken off of us as

27:09

a nation. You

27:11

can scoff, you can laugh, but I'm telling

27:13

you, you will learn one day

27:15

that I am correct. God's

27:19

providential hand, providential hand being removed

27:21

from this nation. God

27:25

has brought us thus far on

27:27

His principles, on His grace. It's

27:31

not because we're anything special. We are sinful people

27:33

too. We have our own flaws, our

27:36

scars and our sins as a nation. I am

27:38

not telling you that there was any, but the

27:40

foundations upon which this nation were built. There were

27:42

men and there were women who came to this

27:45

land and they consecrated it, sanctified it to be

27:47

holy unto God and God

27:49

honored their wish. God, not their wish, God honored

27:52

their cry, their prayers.

27:54

God honored them and He blessed them. And

27:56

there were people who put God in

27:59

the forefront of the world. the decisions that they

28:01

made and how this country was going

28:03

to exist and continue. For

28:06

whatever reason, in the will of

28:08

God, he decided to bless that. And

28:10

now we've turned from that. For

28:15

30 years at every election time, I

28:17

have said, I pray that

28:19

we do not get what we

28:22

deserve. So

28:25

we've been on borrowed time for a long time. You

28:27

may not like that. That is perfectly fine. But

28:32

I love you guys and I love you enough to tell you the

28:34

truth. You do whatever you do with

28:36

it, however you want to deal with it.

28:40

At 2nd Chronicles 7 14 says, if my

28:42

people are called by my name will turn from

28:44

their wicked ways and humble themselves

28:47

and pray. Then

28:51

will I hear from heaven and I will heal

28:53

their land. I'll heal their land. We got the

28:55

biggest wildfires that have ever happened in the history

28:57

of Texas that recently happened in the Panhandle. We

29:01

got bridges falling. We got people

29:03

can't travel. We got exorbitant prices on things.

29:05

I mean the fact that we have a

29:07

president who stands in front of the American

29:09

people and says that we have the strongest

29:11

economy we've ever had and people can't afford

29:13

milk and eggs. Call

29:19

somebody that's an expert right now. Call somebody. Call your

29:21

mortgage guy. Call your real estate agent. Call your broker.

29:23

Call them up and say, hey do you think it's

29:25

a good time right now for me to buy a

29:27

house? Then

29:30

get back to me on that answer. I'm

29:36

not saying that God decided to

29:38

collapse a bridge but

29:40

I'm telling you that if you take away

29:42

the parameters of God's grace calamity

29:45

will ensue. There

29:47

are consequences to your decisions. There

29:51

are things that happen in the spiritual

29:53

realm on a large global way. I'm

29:55

telling you when God is

29:57

removed from society that's

29:59

the turns into absolute

30:02

entropy where things in motion tend

30:05

to fall apart versus the kingdom

30:07

of God whereby when you

30:09

do things God's way there is order and

30:11

there is balance and they tend to stick

30:13

together. Do with it what you

30:15

want to do with it folks. Happy Easter. Alright

30:18

praytheirteas.com that's how we help pay for a

30:20

lot of things. Where am
