Trump, Rushmore, and Buffalos

Non-rockabodas must stop. I don't want to rock the boat. I want to sink it.

Are you gonna bark all day little doggie, or are you gonna bite?

Delusional yeah delusional is okay in your worldview. I'm an animal. You don't chastise chickens for being delusional. You don't chastise pigs for being delusional. So you calling me delusional using your worldview is perfectly.

Okay, it doesn't really hurt.

It's young.

Desperate times call for faithful men and not for careful men. The careful men come later and write the biographies of the faithful men lauding them for their courage.

Go into all the world and make disciples not going to the world make buddies not to make brosives, right? Don't go in the world make homies.

Disciples, I got. I got a bit of a jiggle Nick. That's a joke.

We cannot let somebody say they're speaking truth when they're not.

Nations will fear the name of the Lord and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory.

Psalm 102.

So, you know one of the things we used to do early on in apology a Radio history prank calls. We did prank calls. Some of you guys remember that that was fun I'm gonna start doing that again prank calls.

I don't think any of those stores are open anymore I know seriously called Christian bookstores and we would ask for ridiculous Books and Christian items and the goal was to not laugh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, don't get hung up on and don't laugh so basically we would write 10 10 items you had to ask the Christian bookstore for and We should play through some of those.

Those are a lot of fun. And we're fun. The goal was always smoked us. Yeah, she always beat us. She could do without laughing. Do we ever win against her? I don't think we did so we'd write down like 10 items you gonna ask but none of us saw the items we had to Ask for until the person was on the phone and flip the page over and then we had to ask for the most Ridiculous ridiculous items and people would go look for them.

Like Joel Osteen hair cream kind of thing. Yeah, but it was a lot of fun. One of the things that's reminiscent of the old apology a radio is this right here and I just felt like playing it. I felt like playing I thought Mount Rushmore.

I thought you know, you know I'm saying I don't know.

It just I'm connecting the dots now. I didn't know it felt right.

Mount Rushmore the rugged wilderness and. You know, it just it just feels it feels right to me. So it was like it's. I don't know if you guys ever seen this but it's the guy in the Buffalo.

Get away from the bear.

So that was a guy in a Buffalo. That's Luke. That's when men were men. Yeah when they rode buffers. Where were where are the men who are riding Buffalo's? They don't exist. They don't exist. I'm gonna start writing Buffalo into work.

Yeah, I'm gonna come into the studio right at Buffalo. That would be awesome. It would be all right now. Not in this climate, no, I heard actually this week it's gonna we're gonna have Death Valley temperatures.

Yep, and I sent that to our other elder. Pastor Zach is on his mandatory sabbatical right now and I sent it we sent it to our other elder. I didn't like it by the name of Pastor James White and it was like hey Death Valley temperatures and you and I were like, wow, right?

That's terrible.

I have a wedding this weekend. So I was like, I'm gonna die.

And he was like he was like, well, it looks like somebody just moved to the alley or something like that. Just totally dissing. Totally throwing down our our feelings and our emotions about how hot it is here.

But he just is dismissive like whatever, you know the other day. I heard that he went. He goes to get his. To get fixed up by a Nicoletta. We have the world's best chiropractor at Apologia. She actually fixed my leg yesterday.

She ripped it back out of its socket and like flew across the room as she did it. Didn't apologize at all and said that she wasn't sorry for it. But did you know the James did this. He went to go his get his adjustment and then after his adjustment.

He was gonna go ride the bike for five hours.

Do you know that it sounds about right five hours?

How does a human being just to make a decision on like I'm gonna I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna ride for five Yeah hours today hours. Is he getting ready for a competition? No, like they're like he can't there are no competition right around the world on his bike is he gonna do like a country thing virtually I rode this mountain.

He actually has he I think he did he say he's actually like Mileage wise gone around the planet like 16 times or something. I don't know. It's a lot. It's a lot I'll tell you what, dr. White's gonna outlive all of us.

He is and is incredible. Not if it keeps eating taco time incredible shape a taco time. We'll take him down. Yeah. That is his kryptonite taco time taco time. Yep white and delights him Mexican food. Dr White loves his taco time.

If we go to if we go to Salt Lake City, we have to all eat a taco time. Cuz he was mad that we didn't he's very much about traditions. You know, it's that. Especially since he's so much against traditions.

Yeah against yeah against unbiblical traditions, but he's got some traditions of his own. See, that's why he's he's so keenly aware of the fact that all of us have traditions because he knows that he has addition.

Yes, not that they're unbiblical. There's nothing wrong with taco time, but he's very much like this is what we do. This is what where we go. This is what I buy. This is that's how we do it.

It was up to him. He'd still stay in like the same like budget in in Salt Lake City. He.

Well, that's the thing is like it was even though it's in the ghetto. There was a situation in the past where like Sean McCraney that apostate guy. He he was like, you know sort of challenging and then James was like it was like well We'll send Jeff up there to do a debate with you and he was like, I know exactly where to go I know where to send him and I think he was even suggesting like put me up and like the old hotel like, you know.

Yeah, it's like from the 50s or something. It's like, you know, yeah hole in the wall. Like, you know, it's it's only five bucks a night. Yeah. Yeah, but it's next to the taco time. It is probably next to the taco time.

Yeah, he would do that too. You guys realize that the James is that way if if it was up to him. He probably would like if you could have like a Marriott. That's decent decently priced and like, you know, it's a nicer place.

Maybe it's a hundred bucks a night. But if he grew up going to the to the the beat-up little motel down there. It still has a sign that says air-conditioning and color TV. Yeah, I guess five bucks. I'll stay there.

Never mind the fact that his festive with roaches and that's where they film psycho. It doesn't matter like the toots and drug. Do you just be like that's where I've always gone and that's where I'm gonna die.

That's how I'm gonna do it. That's that's what James does so now you guys know a little more information about.

Pastor James and how he doesn't. We've already received multiple complaints because we're on the same time the dividing line. Sorry it happens.

I yeah, just it's just the way the schedule works guys. We're not trying to compete with our other feller elder. Just it's just how it works in terms of our schedule and our stuff. It says a crisp meat burritos.

Dr White kryptonite kryptonite that is that is true. That is very very true. Alright, so let's get into today. I wanted to show everybody some stuff and talk about current events stuff. Did you guys know that there is a trend right now of people?

It's like a cancel culture trend. Cancel culture is very popular right now. Everyone knows about that cancel culture trends regarding even actors and actresses. Who can't play roles? They can't play roles of somebody that they're not in real life.

So we're gonna talk and play a little bit of this Situation with Halle Berry. Halle Berry apparently was going to play this transgender character. And then she came out and she apologized and essentially said like I'm not gonna do it like I don't have a right I don't have a right to step into that skin.

Oh. You mean acting? Oh. You tell me acting. Oh like you're not you're not gonna act anymore. So like basically everybody who plays a role has to be that person in real life. How does one get into that mindset that like I can't act and play the part I have to be that person.

It's such it's such insanity.

Yeah.

It's madness and it's an embarrassing to to a culture to get into that kind of mindset where you have to actually be the person that you're Pretending to be so I don't know if you've got a lot of money to be pretend to be a cat.

That's right.

Catwoman that's right. She didn't apologize for that. She did not.

Yes.

Terrible movie that's for dang. Sure. Absolutely. I would not recommend this but times with that. Well, let's let's let's go. Let's go this direction. Let's talk about the way things were and talk about where they're at now.

I Missy I was born in 1978. And so 42 years old. I got three grandkids. I got five children and So I've been I've been around for a little bit a little bit. I'm a little older than and then Luke and he always make he likes to make to point that out.

So is my wife you're the oldest of us. You're gonna die first. Well, I'm gonna meet Jesus first. So before you My only come back come back as well, I'll see the Lord of Glory before you do so. But James would definitely be there first.

No, he won't no not with his riding his bike. So I've been around for a while and one of the things I can remember from my childhood and some of you guys probably Remember this as well is that we recognize that race racism with tribalism biblically speaking tribalism.

Saying like your color is what makes you better or looking down on a color or culture. Pride it's it's disgusting. Racism belongs in the pit of hell and people will go to hell for their hatred of another person because of the color of their Skin, so we're all there now, right racism is evil.

It's awful. Civil War had a lot of consequence. United States of America. If you didn't know this every country that Christianity came to every country the gospel came to. Ultimately in history that country was freed from its slavery and it's it's a commitment to slavery.

So it's it's literally history of the church you go watch it everywhere. The gospel went when the gospel transformed that culture the gospel transformed that culture even down to if they were practicing The slave trade or had a historic practice of the slave trade.

Christianity destroys that it abolishes that it ends it everywhere and guess what? What's amazing is the Christian Church was able to do that in 2 ,000 years of church history. Without shedding blood without a war but in the United States of America We had a war and over 600 ,000 people died as a result of the Civil War.

We're not going to get into all the complications of that issue right now man, stealing and kidnapping and Enslaving is worthy of the death penalty in God's law. Christianity gives you a basis to despise Slavery like that and so we have a basis for it.

But when we look back at our history say yeah. The Civil War created a lot of consequences for our nation and like worse even to this day. Still feeling the consequences from how that war was fought and then the sorts of things that came afterwards like the Jim Crow laws disgusting disgraceful despicable things in our country, but Praise God we got to the point where we started realizing what people started fighting for this stuff is unjust.

It's unrighteous. It's un-christian. It's it's hateful. It's disgusting get rid of these Laws systemic laws laws and ordinances local ordinances regard to like this is a white fountain and that's a colored fountain.

How disgusting is that? Thank God that stuff is gone and we despise it and we keep scoring upon it all that but what's amazing is like in the civil rights movement you're thinking like around like the like the Peak of the 50s and into the 60s and all that stuff goes on there now.

Of course, there's still ripple effects from all that stuff. You know, it doesn't just end and everyone goes Okay, ollie ollie oxen free like we're good nuts behind us now, of course, there's still ripple effects.

Here's my point 78 is when I was born. I remember 80s child my childhood raised in coming up. I remember watching shows comedy shows where people were ribbing each other and joking with each other and having fun with Each other's culture like you could tease each other in in a respectful funny loving way.

Joke about it right tease because you don't mean any harm with each other. You're teasing with each other. You'd even joke about yourself. For example, let me put it this way when I see A person of another color than me a different count of melanin than me.

Asking questions and joking about white culture. I laugh about it. Yeah, like I laugh about like I saw one comedian He was joking. He was like he was like we know this culture over here. They have this kind of food and this this kind of practice and culture and it's funny and we have this and they were like.

But what do white people have? Like what do you guys have like macaroni and cheese? Like what's your what's your cultural staple food? Like what is it Matt? And I thought about like, I don't know. It's a pot pie I don't know.

What is it? What do white people have? I don't know, but I'm like I'm like totally laughing about it. Like I'm like that is funny. Like what is it? Like Salisbury steak TV dinners?

I don't know. What is it?

So like I have teasing like when you when you tea because because you don't mean it like if you see somebody as equal and You love one another you can you can laugh about silly things about your culture and not take it seriously, right?

But what's with this offended? Ridiculously a heightened offense. Culture and cancel culture where you can't even tease Somebody anymore like for example in this I'm gonna I'm gonna play it. So you guys get a flavor of what I'm talking about and how we are living in insane times.

This this is from late 70s. I believe late 70s, maybe 80 81. I think it's like 78 maybe. This is Eddie Murphy and he was it's it's a famous skit. It's called white like me. It's from SNL and I wanted to say this.

Honestly, I This this cracks me up like it's Eddie Murphy Pretending to be white for a day. He's doing white face Okay, and I don't have a problem with that. No I've no problem. I think this is one of the funniest bits SNL ever did it's one of their classics.

He pretends to be white for a day and he steps into like white the white culture and he discovers all this secret world Underneath the white coat and it's hilarious. And I'm not offended by it like the stuff that he's talking about is obviously not true.

Like when he's when they're joking and you're gonna see in a second when he's joking about it. It's obviously totally a joke and not true and I I'm white. He's black. I think he's hilarious here, but we lose the ability to do all this with this ridiculous.

Broken.

Reasoning that we've fallen into when we talk about cancel culture and you've allowed the Marxist the neo-marxist to come in with this class conflict between whites and blacks that disrupts us and the amazing thing is.

And this is the sad thing and then I'll play the video is this nonsense comes into the Christian Church. And it begins to divide divide white brothers from black brothers. That's disgraceful. I love my black family in Christ.

I love I love them. I love black culture and these neo-marxists are coming in and they're destroying our ability to see each other as image of God because the first thing they want us to highlight is color and oppression and You're automatically this because the color you have and like that's into the that's in the church now.

And so we've lost the ability to joke with each other. We've lost the ability to not take ourselves very seriously. We've lost the ability to think clearly and we've just succumbed to this class conflict.

A.

Propaganda from the neo-marxist. We can't even laugh about things like this that are actually really really funny. A.

Lot of people talk about racial prejudice and. Some people have gone so far as to say that they're actually two Americas one black and one white but talk is cheap. So I decided to look into the problem myself firsthand to go underground and actually experience America.

As a white man, I hired the best makeup people in the business. If I was gonna pass as a white man. Everything had to be perfect. Okay, let's try this.

Listen.

The other kind of Harry Reams in I like I Study for my role very carefully. I Watched lots of Dynasty.

See. See how they walk.

Their butts are real tight when you walk. I gotta keep my butt real tight. And I read a whole bunch of Hallmark cards. You always mean lots more to me than you could ever guess for you have done so much to fill my life with happiness.

Finally, I'm buying this newspaper. That's all right. There's nobody around. Go ahead. Take it. Take it. Go ahead take it. Yeah, take it slowly. I began to realize that when white people are alone. They give things to each other for free.

There was only one other black man on the bus. He got off on 45th Street. The problem was much more serious than I'd ever imagine. Let me get this straight. Mr Mr. White. $50 ,000. But you have no collateral you have no credit you don't even have any ID.

Is that correct? That's right Mr. White, I'm sorry. This is not a charity. This is a business. And Harry.

Why don't you take your break now? I'll take care of Mr. White. Okay. Thanks, Bob. That was a close one. We don't have to bother with these formalities, do we Mr. White?

What a silly Negro.

Just take what you want. Pay us back any time or don't we don't care.

So there you go.

There's a good example like that's you know, not very long ago in our history where people could joke. Like that he could step into the white culture tell jokes, you know. He could he could he could he could tell a story.

Without everybody losing their minds. And I see something like this. I'm I'm white and I'm not offended by it. I think it's hilarious. Yeah, he's obviously a comedian telling a joke and. But he's even in this case.

Not only is he ribbing on white culture and he's obviously joking about it. None of this stuff happens.

All right.

But the the point is is he's also playing a character that he's not in real life. And that's just not allowed now. No when Halle Berry apologizes because she says well I don't think I don't want to see a movie that she's talking about.

Anyways, it didn't even sound remotely interesting to me when she talks about playing a transgender.

Person.

Woman that that transitions to become a man then she apologizes later because she's not from that community. It's like so there's no actors and actresses anymore. You can't play roles anymore. You have to actually be that person.

How's that work? Like how's that work? What movies would you have? I mean, so if you're gonna do a movie about the history of Scotland, you can't have like Braveheart. You can't have like American actors.

With maybe not great Scottish accents but doing doing the movie like in Scotland like you have to only hire Scottish people like. Do they have to be descendants of the people who are part of those battles?

I mean like I what where where do you want to end this insanity?

Do you ask you want to say I'm just gonna say it's funny because you know, so is she only allowed to play a role that is a black woman and. My first question and the second question is Who are you to say that she's a woman.

So I just it's a it's just a like a whole basket of contradictions. Proper pronouns here.

So I'll play just a little bit as I'm gonna spend too much time on this. But this is her interview talking about when she was she was wanting to play this role.

Where woman is. A trans there's gonna have to be. She's a woman that transitioned into a man. Really character in a project.

Love and I might be doing by the way everyone real fast. The the the sketchiness of the audio there is not on our end. It's not it's not our internet or yours. That's it's the interview. She did just so everyone understands.

Don't don't think everything's messed up right now. It's it's just how it sounds. So here we go.

It's to me and I thought I do Movie that's the character. I'm good. I want to experience that world. Understand that world. I want Character, I want to you know deep dive in that I did bruise.

All right, so that's that was her explanation and I'll get to her apology here. There's like a little there's a long little interview section there. But here is here is her official apology.

I'll play this on Twitter saying as a cisgender woman I now understand that I should not have considered this role and that the transgender community should Undeniably have the opportunity to tell their own stories.

I am grateful for the audience and critical conversation over the past few days and I will continue to listen. Educate and learn from this mistake. I vow to be an ally in using my voice to promote better Representation on screen both in front of and behind the camera, you know, that is that's that's her saying.

I will submit.

Yep, I I will submit. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. Please forgive me these that's what that's what this this this cancel culture and the the alphabet people and Everybody who's who's engaging in the neo-marxist sort of like playbook and all that's been going on underneath this.

That's that's what they want. They want your full submission. They want blood and so this is somebody who as an actress was like well I want to play this role and understand this world and then all of a sudden she gets attacked from the people that just cannot think critically and who can only see color who can only see gender and hate the world that God made and That's how they live their lives that's how they live in this world.

She gets she gets attacked by them and she realizes I could lose everything I could lose everything because they'll cancel me. They'll have people that they're vicious. It's it's it's a vicious world to live in.

And so what does she do? It's it's full submission. It's full submission. They should tell their own stories. I'm grateful for the audience and the critical conversation over the past few days and I will continue to listen and Educate and learn from this mistake.

I vow to be an ally. So this is her like just saying please Please please forgive me. I'll be your ally. Yeah, they're they're the moral authority. No, exactly. That's very good. They are the moral authority now and How dare you how dare you as an actress?

Act and she was trying to celebrate them, which they shouldn't be celebrated, but she was trying to be supportive and celebrate them.

Yeah, she was on their side. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, she was their ally, but she was an actress and she's not allowed to act because they apparently want no more actors in the World no more playing roles.

No more pretending. So I imagine if you're gonna have a story of like a person who's handicapped. You have to find a person who's truly handicapped. Which was I think a comedian did a funny thing on this recently and they were like basically like what would they be getting a Reward for for being them like you like Oscars are like you did the greatest job.

Playing you and this thing like how do you how does that happen? Like why what's what's special about finding a person who only is that thing, right? It's not special and nobody's mesmerized by an actor actress.

That is that in real life, right? As a matter of fact what what you you talk about people who like well, that's that's how that person is in real life. Like it's a pretty you know I'm saying there's there's actors who are even famous people and they're just like in the same.

They're this the cast is the same thing and everything and that's how they are in real life sort of a thing. There's not much of a divide between who they are in real life and who they are on the screen and everyone just understands like We just enjoy watching them, but that's really kind of how they are in real life.

There's lots of actors like that, but none of that's impressive. Who's impressive what's impressive when Christian Bale? loses like all of his weight down to his bones and Plays in the machinists. Did you see that?

I saw a picture. It's I haven't seen it. It's it's I'm not recommending the movie I'm just saying like in terms of like how people were like, oh my goodness I think he said he ate an apple a day. They're like, how'd you lose that much weight?

He's like I went to the doctor and said how do I survive and lose weight like look like I'm dying and he's like Well, you just need some vitamins and minerals to eat an apple a day. And he's so he said it was easy I ate an apple a day.

It's why it's so impressive because he's not that person in real life and he lost all that weight to get into that mind of The character and play the character. I mean, it's just that's what's impressive to people is when like, oh my goodness.

That guy's nothing like that in real life and then look at him over there or look at her. Like okay, what's the movie I I haven't seen the movie but it's based on the true story and it's with Charlize Theron she it monster.

Oh, no, I haven't seen anything, but I know I follow that whole story when it happened in the past. That that woman who was killing all those men. She was like a serial killer prostitute. And so when they picked her for that role and she was playing I was like, how's she gonna play that role?

That woman is you know, she's not a looker. Can we say that and be loving, you know, I love her for Jesus sake, but let's just be honest. She's not a looker. That's all there is to if you've seen the interviews, you know, she wasn't she wasn't a looker.

Well, you picture at least Aaron and you're like, okay, how's that gonna work? And then she they came out and you're like, whoa. Whoa, like she is phenomenal. Like how she she got into the character. She she she beefed herself up like she she and she she messed up her mug and it was like, okay.

All right. Yeah. Yeah, she did a great job and that's what's impressive because she's not that person in real life and that's why everyone like, you know, lauds them with so much like a Reward and awards.

I was like, wow, what a fantastic skill, but we're not allowed to do that anymore because cancel culture and.

Now.

You just have to be the person you are in real life. Another example now watch this is funny. This is actually is amusing to me. Just to show you in terms of time this this was dropped at least on their YouTube channel.

Key and peel super super. Talented guys, I mean in acting and their their skill and writing. I'm not recommending all their stuff. They've just done some cultural commentary stuff. That's actually really really good.

These guys are very very talented. They're actually some of the most brilliant probably talented writers of our day and they're hilarious at times. Again not recommending all their content I'm recommending some.

You can't deny their talent, but this was in 2014. Key and peel. Do this skit and it's about local gangsters. I just want to point some stuff out to you real fast. We won't play the whole thing just a piece.

We need a crazy bottle like you in our game with this bandana. I Welcome you to the game. Yo. Hold up. Oh. What's going on. Hey Carlito, I was just Welcoming Eduardo into the game. Why? Who he what he did?

He's crazy, man. We were thinking that the game is a crazy guy. Yeah, man. This guy is loco Eduardo.

Oh.

No, no, I'm the local one in this game. What. Okay. Okay. Check this out. I'm a duck. I'm a crazy duck. No Carlito. It's not that kind of look. So obviously I.

Can't play the whole thing here. But here's here's something dropped in December 4th 2014 like I said according to their channel. That's not very long ago and That's that's that's not allowed anymore.

Here you have guys key and peel actually they're they're mixed. But like all of us are we're all we're all of we're all a bunch of mutts. Can we just acknowledge that we're all a bunch of mutts?

But.

They're they're not. That culture right. And then they do a bit where they're. They're joking about a culture. They're teasing but they're not those people. Now I gotta I gotta say this when I watch that it never crossed my mind seeing something like that.

Oh, these guys are racists.

Right, not at all.

Right. They're just comedians. They're right again. They're telling jokes. But but in order to tell the joke they have to step into that that culture in that world and and they're poking fun at themselves.

Then they here's the thing about campy. Oh campy. Oh can tell jokes about black culture. Mm-hmm. They can tell jokes About white culture they can tell jokes about Hispanic culture and Asian culture they can do that and you're not supposed to be offended by it because they're getting everybody and they're just Stopped taking everything so seriously.

Yeah, like, you know I'm saying if if you can think rationally and you have a stable and balanced mind. You don't have to take everything with offense and take everything. So seriously again. When I see somebody of a different culture making fun of white culture in a way That's just poking fun and teasing and they're making fun of themselves.
