Lotus must stop. I don't want to rock the boat. I want to sink it. Are you going to bark all day, little doggie, or are you going to bite?

00:10

Delusional. Yeah, delusional is OK in your world view. I'm an animal. You don't chastise chickens for being delusional.

00:17

You don't chastise pigs for being delusional. So you calling me delusional using your world view is perfectly OK. It doesn't really hurt.

00:24

She hung up on me. What? What? What?

00:31

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.

00:43

Go into all the world and make disciples. Not go into the world and make buddies. Not to make brosives. Right. Don't go into the world and make homies.

00:50

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

00:58

When we have the real message of truth, we cannot let somebody say they're speaking truth when they're not.

01:21

They served their idols, which became a snare to them. They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons.

01:29

They poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.

01:35

And the land was polluted with blood. Oh, welcome back to a very somber.

01:43

Apology, a radio that didn't come in like that. But yeah, God's word. Yeah, exactly.

01:49

This is Luke to bear hosting once again, as Pastor Jeff is still on his missions trip there in Kauai. And you just heard the word read from my man over here.

02:01

Valley Wind Hamburglar Zack Attack. What's up, everybody? Any other name I can think of?

02:07

And on my right side, back goes second or third time. I think he's been on Pastor Zack Morgan.

02:14

He has a litany of nicknames. Thunder Pops to Thunder Pops is my favorite prominent. Yeah, now when we're on the street together at the mill,

02:21

I just call him Thunder. Yeah, I'm like, hey, Thunder. Yeah, and if you don't know what that is, it's because he is a booming voice when he's out on the street.

02:30

And I think it was, wasn't it you? You said he had some thunder pipes. Yeah, we all thought you said

02:37

Thunder Pops, right? That was how it got started. Yeah, I was like, how would you describe Zack? So I was like, man, he's got thunder pipes.

02:43

Yeah, of course. Luke misheard. No, I he also misheard. We all I think we all misheard. Yeah, you guys are weirdos.

02:50

Anyways, Thunder Pops is one of his nicknames. That being said, I'm going to get into it quickly here today because we have a guest.

02:57

I'm going to announce here in a second. But in case you did not see it. The state of New York yesterday passed.

03:06

Was it yesterday or two days ago? A couple days ago. A couple days ago passed a bill allowing full -term abortions, which is just disgusting and despicable.

03:17

I mean, it's it's still an abortion. Just it's yeah, it's like another step on the vial scale.

03:25

Yeah, you know and and so here quickly. I'm going to I'm going to pull this up.

03:31

So I was going to play for everyone. The sound of Romans chapter 1 so that was everybody cheering at the in New York two days ago when they when the governor signed the bill.

03:58

They were cheering. That's the sound of Romans 1 that is the sound of you being given over completely to God's judgment.

04:05

Yeah, straight up giving over and giving hearty approval. Yeah to those who do the same and I like you said

04:14

Luke it's important that I mean a child killed in the womb from conception is just as wicked as a child killed in the ninth month.

04:24

However, there is something to be said for balance and being even more mortified and and horror stricken at what's being allowed to go on in the state of New York with a child and it's ninth month all the way up until birth, you know, yeah.

04:39

So yeah, I mean somebody I'm not going to I haven't watched it. Somebody just sent us a video of an actual partial birth abortion.

04:48

Yeah, and it was you know, disgusting. It wasn't it was an entire baby sticking out of the mother except for the head and then

04:56

I believe they snipped the yeah, the spine spine.

05:03

Yeah, such is where we live. Yeah right now. This is the wicked and vile generation. So we'll talk more about this but quickly because I want to bring in our guests.

05:11

He's our good friend longtime friend Pastor John speed out of Syracuse, New York, and he's had a very eventful a couple days.

05:22

And so if you don't know who John is he was actually one of the the founding members if you will of babies are murdered here and he had a big part to play in that and it's known

05:35

Marcus for a long time and we actually have the first sign the original sign right there that he was a part of actually he sent us that sign.

05:42

Anyways, so John is a huge longtime friend of ours. And so John welcome to the show.

05:48

Thanks for having me. So tell us about the last two days for you. What's been going on?

05:55

Well, I got back from Washington DC the March for Life late

06:00

Monday night and the vote in New York was on Tuesday. We had several members of the church at the in the legislature in the legislative building there the

06:13

Capitol building with signs protesting that that bill and they were there for about seven hours, you know on their feet just trying to make a statement and the bill of course, you know the rest of it you've been talking about it was voted in that night.

06:32

I was just distraught man. I mean we did what we could I contacted our legislators and all that sort of stuff and you know, we did really everything that we knew to do and I was just burdened by the whole thing.

06:47

I really couldn't sleep that night and I was just praying Lord. What could I do to make a statement that would be appropriate for this the wickedness of this and so the next day.

07:01

I just thought you know what I'm just having a day of mourning. I'm not opening the store today.

07:06

They're not going to get my sales tax today. And so we just printed out a sign explaining that to our customers and we ended up, you know closing the store for the day and hanging that sign up and took a picture of it.

07:24

Yes, we send it over to Marcus and next thing you know the thing gone. It went viral.

07:30

Yeah, literally viral. I've never had anything really go viral before. Yeah, and I guess my wife's cousin contacted us today said you guys have your own hashtag now.

07:42

So somebody's hashtagging John speed. What that's amazing. I didn't even know that.

07:48

It's not what we're on. I was on Glenn back this morning briefly and Shapiro shared it even

07:56

March for life shared it right to life shared it. It's been all over the place and we've got other interviews that I'll be doing today and tomorrow and we've been getting orders

08:07

Glenn back pushed our website really hard. And so every two minutes the phone's been ringing here what you just heard that that's another sale coming in.

08:15

That's the sound of business. We're all in hell. Hey Carmen, by the way, Carmen if you haven't can you put that the sign up when you get a second so everybody can see what it looks like.
