Current Events Update. And we always begin with the issue of Israel. The war is over the land. We remind you that from time to time. Today's date 11-3-24. Began October 7, 2023, 101 hostages. We just run over those stats so you don't forget about them. Pray for the living hostages to survive and to be saved. And we do this because we stand with Israel. We have a playlist if you need to learn about our stand for Israel. It's out there free of charge. If you know somebody else who needs to understand what the Bible teaches, we'll get that to you. Ask us for the link. We'll send it to you if you can't find it on your own. But Israel's war against Iran, battling the proxy terror groups, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis continues. Don't forget, this is Iran. In the Bible, Persia. That's what this is all about. Just to give you an example of the kind of things going on, in spectacular fashion, it says, Israeli naval commandos snatch Hezbollah official north of Beirut. So, you know, Israel's just one of those that even if the Bible didn't tell us that we should bless Israel, even if, you know, I still, you don't want them as your enemy. I'm glad we're on the same side, at least for now. A lot of things are happening, but the world continues turning against Israel, and this represents a small portion of the problem that the Democrat Party has this year. A Palestinian-American congressman up there in Michigan, Rashida Tlaib, has declined to endorse Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris three days before the US presidential elections. There's a bunch of people in that party who are not getting on board with this presidential election, but a lot of other congressmen and senators, because they hate Israel so bad that if their politician won't join them in their hatred for Israel, they won't vote for them. That's just something that's a reality of what's going on. Some of you might wonder sometimes why things are happening. That's what's behind it. This happened. A group of voters, Harris has struggled to win over, steal the spotlight during her rallies. Every time she's having a rally, they'd have a group of people screaming at her for not siding with the Palestinians enough. I mean, they are to some extent. And so that's been a real problem for that Harris campaign, but it's all over the country for Democrats and not so much Republicans. Anti-Israel protesters take over University of Minnesota administration building and then 11 are arrested. That's going on all over the country too. These anti-Israel students are going in and taking over buildings and areas of universities and all this stuff. And you're hearing very little of it reported in the news. So that's why we're here. We're here to tell you there's a reality beyond the propaganda shield that we call the news media today. There's a whole world out there. But there still are some taking a stand for Israel. I found this very interesting. Over in the UK, the Conservative Party elected pro-Israel firebrand Kimi Bednok as new leader. And she's They're making a big deal about the fact she's the first black leader of a major UK party. But the important thing is her positions, her policies, and she's pro-Israel. And you might find this hard to believe, but this is CNN. Tonight, Mixed Messages, a K-file investigation this hour, finds Kamala Harris is targeting crucial battleground voters with vastly different messages on Gaza and Israel. This ad is running in Michigan, which has the largest Arab population in America. What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating. We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering, and I will not be silent. All right, well, it's a very different story for an ad in Pennsylvania targeting Jewish voters. Let me be clear. I will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself. And I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7. a to entirely different messages. There are often times these constituencies have very opposing views on this. If you are a Jewish person in Pennsylvania, you saw that ad that you're getting. You are getting that ad that talks about how strong she is in Israel. If you're a Muslim voter in Michigan, You are getting that ad on Facebook that's talking about how she won't be silent on the issue of Gaza. Now, what's really interesting here is that ad that we just played, the one that's going to Jewish voters in Pennsylvania. Now, it sort of sounds like those two clips of her talking about Israel are together, but they actually cut part of it out. Take a listen to what they cut. What has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination. And you've seen too that she, obviously they cut out that portion of the ad where they talked about Gaza from her DNC speech. Those two parts were together, they sliced them, they cut that part out. Now look, she's also getting hammered a lot on this issue by Republicans. We talked just a couple days ago about how those robocalls were airing in Wisconsin that are made to sound like they're in support of Jill Stein talking about her position on Gaza, saying that they're highlighting her pro-Israel position, and they're sort of trying to siphon those votes away from her, so this is a really delicate issue for her. Oh, it certainly is. I mean, the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination are being cut out. It's important to notice that. All right, Sal, you also... So, you won't get this commentary on that, and that is this. As much as there has been support of Israel, is only because it's an election year. So after the election, you're going to see a lot of that dissipate. Just mark it down. But that segues us into the 2024 election. I'm getting so old that I first wrote 2004 election. Because it's just like 2024, man. How did I get here? That means I'm getting old, man. But it's a sad thing that there are a lot of churches who haven't even talked about the election this year. I've talked to people who go to churches and they say they don't even bring it up. And the ones that do, they'll just say, go vote! And that's about it. No information. Unless you go to a liberal or apostate church, there they tell you exactly who to vote for. And we've shown you the cliffs. So that's one of the things going on in this country is Americans are so dumb. American Christians are dumb. Who is dumb enough to think that the churches should not speak out on issues that are biblical? I don't care if they're political or not. If they're biblical, any true preacher's gonna preach on it. He's gonna talk about it. That tells you we got a lot of fakes in pulpits right now. And Tuesday, November 5th, is election day. And I will say this, I believe it's a sin not to vote. To him that knoweth to do right and doeth it not, to him it is sin. You are to be salt and light. You're given the opportunity to vote. Well, they're just cheating. That's in other people's hands. That's something other people will answer for. You know what you're going to answer for? Whether you had the opportunity to do right and whether or not you did it. And so if you didn't register, I don't know if you can even vote now. I don't think they're trying to push for same-day registration and voting, and I don't think we got that in this state yet. The decision when it comes to our president, when it comes to the Senate and the Congress, it's almost every time a decision, a choice between a Marxist puppet and an imperfect patriot. And a lot of hypocritical, self-righteous Christians use it as an excuse not to vote because the guy on the ticket that is closest to our values has some imperfections. Again, how dumb. Just stupid. And who do we vote for? We vote for whoever it is. And we can say this in America. It's different in other countries. We can say this in America. Whoever is standing for the Constitution. God ordained that Constitution as the law of the land. And those who stand with that Constitution, that's who you should vote for. That's why I don't get up here and endorse people, although I kind of think it's obvious who I do and don't support. But I don't get up here and endorse them, but I don't have to. If they stand for the Constitution, that's a good guy. If they don't, that's a devil with skin. Amen. So you have history has taught us, including recent history, the words out of their mouth. We are looking at a choice where if one side is elected, And it is the Democrat-Marxist death cult, the Green Party, the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, any of those people elected, you are getting anti-constitutionalists. But I got news for you, there are a lot of Republicans like that too. A lot of Christians under the false idea that a Republican is a good guy. A lot of bad Republicans. Progressives, rhinos we call them, Republican in name only. Neocons who love the endless wars and all that kind of thing. So it's not, this isn't about parties. We're not a part of a political party and I'm opposed to both parties anytime either party's anti-biblical, anytime they're anti-constitutional. But this ought to tell you something when you remember what happened during COVID. We'll keep pushing to get every eligible American vaccinated. Because we know getting vaccinated is the single best defense against COVID-19. And here's how I know. Virtually every person who is in the hospital sick with COVID-19 is unvaccinated. I'm going to repeat that. Virtually every person who has recently died was unvaccinated. So if you have not yet been vaccinated, you know, some people said, I'm a wait. I want to wait and see how this all turns out, how everybody else is doing with it. Right. It's time. I do believe that the act of getting vaccinated is the very essence, the very essence of what the Bible tells us. That's what this is about. And so by getting vaccinated, you are loving your neighbor. Hey man, there are a lot of Republicans preaching that. There's a lot of preachers preaching that same message. Chuck Smith out at Costa Mesa, California, his son-in-law took over that church, and he caused a split in a thousand-some Calvary chapels over the fact that he said that if you didn't push the vaccine, you didn't love your neighbor, if you didn't shut your churches down, you were being rebellious against government, all the FEMA pastor talking points coming right out of his mouth. And that was all over the country, there were churches like that. There were people who condemned us. They, you know, saw that we were having service and at first they couldn't tell if there was a lot of people here and then you guys started coming in more and more and getting a little more normal and loud and everything. They're like, what are you doing with all those people in that building? You know, I didn't even respond to most of them. But you have environmental extremism and population control tyranny. We played this before. When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, More of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water. And we got Bill Gates and others saying that vaccines result in reduced population. I wonder why. It's a thing called sterilization. Gun confiscation. I'm prepared to take executive action and put in place a ban on the importation of assault weapons into our country. But we still have to deal with the over 2 million assault weapons that are currently in the streets of America. And so a buyback program is a good idea. If Congress fails to act, I'll give them 100 days to put a bill on my desk with signature. And if they do not do it, I will put in place by executive action a comprehensive background check requirement and a ban on the assault weapons and importation of assault weapons into our country. And that's why we will work to pass universal background checks, red flag laws and an assault weapons ban. She doesn't have the power and authority to do that. But when you got the guns, you get by with things you don't have the power and authority to do, which is why we have a Second Amendment. And that's why she's so opposed to it. They got to take away your guns if they're going to be a tyrant. That's what it's all about. And this is just another little clip. I hope you can hear this. Responsible behavior among everybody in the community. And just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affair. Minnesotans, and I especially amongst them, are not going to stand by and let people keep making this about the Second Amendment. I want to stop there. She has made it clear that she's going to use whatever power she can and whatever power she doesn't have, she's going to use it if she can to take away guns. And when they talk about assault weapons, they don't know what they're talking about. They use that term and they don't even know what it means. They just mean any gun that they think is ugly and mean. Every gun is ugly and mean. Every gun is meant to kill something. Target practice is fun. Skeet shooting is fun. But that's all so you can hit the target when the time comes. Jesus Christ commanded you as Christians to carry weapons. Luke 22, 36. Buy a sword, he said. Buy a sword. No one ever claims that as their life verse. There aren't little, you know, someone needs to make posters with cute little kittens and that verse on it, you know, just to. But they don't, they don't like Christians. They don't like Christianity because they know that we stand for the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including that Second Amendment. And that's why when someone yells, Jesus is Lord, she says, you're at the wrong rally. But this is Tim Walz. When I first started in Congress, I had an A rating from the NRA. I have straight Fs now. I sleep just fine at night. We're going to have waffle gun owners not be impinged upon one bit to continue doing what they've already done. These are smart policies. I've got two words. Watch us. That's what's coming. Folks, why are Christians in other countries taken to camps, the women raped, the children abducted and raised by Muslims and others? Because they don't have a Second Amendment. And if they can take away your guns, your free speech is gone, your right and ability to meet in a local church is gone, all kinds of other things that you take for granted are gone if the Second Amendment is gone. And they're about controlling everything about everyone. It's 1984. It's a brave new world. These people thought that those were blueprints instead of warnings. Yesterday, I saw this and had to figure out what it was. a statement from Donald Trump. There have been horrible reports out of New York from my former home state where state environmental agents raided the home of Mark Longo and his wife. Mark was taken into custody for hours while officials searched his home and eventually took two of their pets, the raccoon, they call him Fred, and Peanut the squirrel. Now this sounds like a joke, but it's not. These people have, how big, it's like a 500 acre? 350-acre animal refuge where they take in unwanted and abused animals. And they had this little squirrel named Peanut that was domesticated and trained. And he was kind of their model. They named the place after him. And he was internationally known and has his own pages on YouTube and TikTok and all these places. And some left-winger nutjob called in. And the left-wing nutjobs in New York raided their home. Like they were drugs pushers or something. And confiscated the pets and killed them. Killed the pets. Fred the raccoon and Peanut the squirrel. They're spending all that time and effort to go after a squirrel and a raccoon while illegals, including rapists and murderers and drug pushers run rampant in New York. And who are they going after? I mean, isn't that, it's just sick. Donald Trump says if peanut could have told him he was from Mexico, they would have sent him on his way and given him a hotel room and a $500 gift card. Folks, it seems insane, but let me just remind you, I've said it over and over, these people are Marxists. They are doing this crazy stuff and throwing your money in the toilet to bankrupt the system, to kill the system, so then they can change it to Marxism. And we're gonna look back, if the rapture doesn't happen and we're still here, we're gonna look back and say, oh, we should have done more. I know because I've read the book before over and over where people, whether it's Richard Wurmbrand or Alexander Solzhenitsyn and others who have said, we wish we had done more. Amen. This is, that's Peanut. Isn't that amazing? Keep it down. I mean, to think about what kind of dark, black-hearted people got charcoal for a heart to go in and confiscate those animals and then euthanize them. It's just amazing. When they tell you who they are, you should believe them. That's why I don't care if they come in here and shut us down and said, you know what, you're too political. This is not politics, folks. This is survival. A righteous man regarded the life of his beast, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Folks, we've talked about it numerous times, many times. I'll just say it this way. If someone come in here and started attacking my wife, and I used physical force to stop them, would anybody here say that's wrong? When they come after us and come to your home, that's no different. And I have not talked like this very often, but Americans had better do some soul searching and prayer and prepare themselves. Because the talk is about to end. When they start coming to your door, knocking down your door for a squirrel, and they get by with it, they're gonna think, okay, now we go for the guns. That's what I'm saying. But there are a lot of people who talk, but I don't think they're really ready for what's coming. Now, we pray we get raptured, but I have to remind you all the time, we're accused of this all the time. We don't believe there's any reason why the American Christians don't suffer persecution. Rapture keeps us out of the seals, vials, and trumpets. It doesn't keep us out of persecution. That's why we urge you to be informed and pray accordingly. Amen?
