Terror at a Christmas market. A scandalous Santa meltdown. And flat-earthers heading to Antarctica to prove the Earth doesn’t spin.
In this holiday-wrapped episode, Ryan breaks down a tragic car attack in Germany and how religion, immigration, and politics collide in the media narrative. He also dives into:
A failed Santa event that caused mass refunds
Flat-earthers chasing conspiracy “proof” at the South Pole
A phone-free challenge with a cash reward in China
Plus: a sharp, honest take on the three Abrahamic religions and why humans keep fighting over faith
It’s chaotic, controversial, and kind of hilarious—so basically, business as usual.

00:00:00
Even in Germany, this is being politicized.
00:00:03
To me, it's pretty simple. A man who was a Muslim, intent
00:00:08
of plowing into people and trying to kill Christians.
00:00:10
But it also could be a man. I can't understand what the
00:00:13
other motive would be, so I'll keep an eye on.
00:00:16
But the protesters are frustrated because this is a
00:00:18
migrant. This is somebody who was
00:00:20
claiming refugee status in that area.
00:00:24
Germany, France, even as far up as Sweden, these migrants have
00:00:28
worked their way up, whether it's through the Mediterranean,
00:00:30
whether it's through the Middle East and up.
00:00:32
And there's been a lot of problems.
00:00:34
But because of politics, no one wanted to talk about it.
00:00:38
In the Great Hall, Winchester, Hampshire, England, there are
00:00:42
people demanding refunds for the Santa Claus that was at this
00:00:47
this location, but people are demanding refunds.
00:00:50
Matthew Fernandez was actually the one that was spoken to and
00:00:53
he said Santa had a blatantly fake beard.
00:00:56
Never seen that before. Fair enough, Give him a pass
00:00:59
there. She had a very cheap red suit,
00:01:01
so Santa was slumming it this year.
00:01:04
I'm not sure what designer makes Santa suits that Matthew
00:01:08
Fernandez preferred, but whatever this one was was not
00:01:11
it. He said he wasn't talkative, he
00:01:13
wasn't jovial. Well, that's unacceptable, I
00:01:15
agree. Welcome to Stay in the Grade
00:01:21
podcast. We explore news that gets people
00:01:24
talking by blending comedy and controversy.
00:01:38
I'm Ryan. And I'm Trey.
00:01:40
Together, we dive into tough topics with a combination of
00:01:43
humor and some insight. To join us as we navigate the
00:01:48
Gray areas of the world and we're engaging in real
00:01:51
conversation. Come get to know us.
00:01:54
All right. Hey, guys.
00:01:55
Hey, everybody. Going to be a good show.
00:01:58
Feeling it, feeling the vibe, trying to work it.
00:02:00
Midday, another midday show, coffee in hand.
00:02:05
Tempted to put some Bailey's Irish cream in there, but I did
00:02:08
not. So be proud.
00:02:10
I know my liver thanks me. Today's show is going to be like
00:02:12
all the rest. You know he's people are going
00:02:14
to take it. They're going to be butt hurt by
00:02:16
it. Some are going to completely
00:02:18
agree and understand. But listen through to the end.
00:02:22
If anything starts to frustrate you, listen.
00:02:24
Trust me, there's a there's an ending to this that just seems
00:02:27
to make too much sense. And and I haven't talked about
00:02:30
this topic. Ever.
00:02:33
In our 100 and something episodes and four and a half 3
00:02:38
1/2 seasons. And there's a reason for it.
00:02:40
And it's one of the topics that that I feel like needs to be
00:02:44
discussed more. But everybody's so on edge about
00:02:47
it that you just never know. And that it's religion.
00:02:52
And so we'll. Do a little bit of a.
00:02:54
Discussion about that. As you can see, I'm I'm decked
00:02:57
out in my festive Christmas. Sweater, albeit it is a
00:03:02
Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team Christmas sweater.
00:03:04
It counts. Go pens.
00:03:07
But I thought I'd get a little festive because this will be
00:03:09
released on Christmas Eve afternoon.
00:03:12
So I thought it it fitting that we talked a little bit about
00:03:15
religion, organized religion, spirituality, and of course, an
00:03:19
event that happened that of course downplays all those
00:03:23
things. But first, let's go with our
00:03:27
opening headline that made it past editing this this one says
00:03:32
kicking baby considered to be healthy.
00:03:35
See what see what see what they did there.
00:03:37
If your baby's in the womb and it's kicking, it's healthy.
00:03:40
Not actually kicking a baby, people.
00:03:42
So don't do I need to tell you not to kick your baby?
00:03:45
If I do, then you're probably at the right show.
00:03:49
You know this list. I have prefaces by saying you
00:03:53
know all the rigorous things that an editor and that a
00:03:56
writer. Has to go through before
00:03:58
publication. And it's almost like they're
00:04:00
saying, you know, this is the whole point of talking about it,
00:04:03
so it is funny. Let's go to butter comments and
00:04:06
woo, boy, you got a dandy. People are so riled up about the
00:04:12
notion that I have a problem with everybody shouting.
00:04:16
Free this free. That universal healthcare, Oh,
00:04:20
let's just do it and do it by taxing the rich.
00:04:23
Why do people have such a problem me saying that you
00:04:26
cannot steal property from people, our own citizens, you
00:04:30
can't steal and by giving them a 70% tax rate and everybody else
00:04:36
a 15% tax rate, you're stealing. This is not Robin Hood.
00:04:40
You cannot take from our wealthy and redistribute it, especially
00:04:46
when you're doing frivolous spending on fucking monkey
00:04:48
research, which we talked about. So of course the butthurt
00:04:53
comment for this show came from. I I'm calling her Beth because
00:05:00
to, to to her credit, it's a clever handle.
00:05:03
It's actually be the change O 4. So I'm not sure what was
00:05:07
happening in O four. Maybe that was, I think that was
00:05:09
G WS second run, George W Bush, not George Washington second
00:05:13
run. And then maybe she was not
00:05:15
liking him or whatever. But but the first 4 letters are
00:05:20
Beth. So I call her Beth.
00:05:22
Wouldn't it be a coincidence if her name were in fact Beth?
00:05:26
But anyway, Beth, she she went off on me because I commented on
00:05:31
the following quote and I'm not sure if I'll put it up there for
00:05:35
you to see, but you don't really need to see it.
00:05:36
It was from some random lady who looks so pleasant in her profile
00:05:41
picture and she. Said under capitalism, it's
00:05:45
normal to let children go hungry.
00:05:47
Banks force people out of their homes.
00:05:50
Let the sick people die for lack of access to health care.
00:05:55
But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich, not
00:05:58
poor, not struggling, just less rich is considered insane.
00:06:02
I'm not going to go through this again because we there's a whole
00:06:05
show dedicated to it. Go check it out.
00:06:07
It's just about the idea of free and and this and that.
00:06:10
But the only thing I said to this was that by taxing the
00:06:14
wealthy, you this is not what our country is.
00:06:18
Our country is about prosperity. It's about hard work.
00:06:21
It's about being able to thrive, the American dream, having
00:06:27
goals. What if my goal is to to work my
00:06:31
my ass off, make all this money so that I can support a family
00:06:35
or, and anybody that's done this, support a family, have
00:06:39
generational wealth, have have these things set up, enjoy the
00:06:42
things in life because you work your your ass off and you're
00:06:45
going to punish that. Well, guess what?
00:06:48
That morale is going to go away that those goals are going to go
00:06:52
away. People are going to go, why am I
00:06:53
doing this? I'm just getting punished.
00:06:56
Sorry, I get riled up, but what they don't understand is that
00:06:59
there are plenty of people out there that are voluntarily
00:07:01
helping out. I do, people do.
00:07:04
All over the place. You.
00:07:05
Cannot make it mandatory. You cannot force it.
00:07:09
And that's all I'm saying with this structure.
00:07:10
It's just so stupid. You're guilting people into this
00:07:13
idea that capitalism is, is the reason for poverty, is the
00:07:17
reason for the poor, is the reason that we have a homeless
00:07:20
problem. Banks can't build their homes.
00:07:22
No, it's because people are over purchasing and buying homes they
00:07:25
shouldn't. You see it all the time.
00:07:29
So people unfortunately get kicked out of their home.
00:07:31
This is people again, not wanting to take responsibility
00:07:34
for themselves. I'll admit that there are things
00:07:36
I've done that I need to take responsibility for that aren't
00:07:39
that weren't the right decision. But you learn, you move forward,
00:07:42
you go on, but you don't. Sit here and say, oh, we'll just
00:07:45
take the money from the rich and we'll be fine.
00:07:48
I suggested that the government spend less frivolously.
00:07:52
And what I mean by that is. Monkey, we talked about it
00:07:56
millions on monkey research and I'm sure there are tons of other
00:08:00
animals. I want to know about the animals
00:08:02
too. Everybody.
00:08:03
I think it's it's neat, but I also want to help people in
00:08:07
what, why? What's more important, stealing
00:08:09
from our citizens or watching some monkeys in the forest?
00:08:13
When we're able to afford helping our citizens and
00:08:17
watching monkeys in the forest, let's do it.
00:08:20
I'm all for it. Make that a goal of our of our
00:08:22
government. So this idea got me fired up and
00:08:25
I made a comment. And so all of a sudden you get
00:08:27
Beth be the change and some other douchebag that I don't
00:08:32
even want to bring him up. He's one of those trolls that
00:08:36
just kind of keep saying, yeah, keep getting mad.
00:08:39
And I'm like, well, I'm not I'm not mad.
00:08:41
Oh yeah, keep getting you see getting mad.
00:08:43
And it was it's just like, and I and you know, I I wasn't, I
00:08:48
literally wasn't getting mad. I was just kind of like, you're
00:08:50
adding nothing here. And that's fine.
00:08:52
It's interaction with these people to understand is that.
00:08:54
Algorithms like interaction. So keep going.
00:08:59
Anyway, so Beth started in on me.
00:09:01
But pretty, pretty heavy. How dare you?
00:09:03
You don't care about people. You know, all these, all these
00:09:06
accusations and, and I'm not going to, you know, there were
00:09:08
literally like 25 when we had a discussion and it wasn't that
00:09:12
productive at all because she wasn't able to comprehend.
00:09:17
She wasn't reading. Once these people have decided
00:09:20
that they're, they're on defense.
00:09:22
They don't. It's like they don't.
00:09:23
They don't read, They just use talking points and make
00:09:28
assumptions. They take little bits of your
00:09:30
sentence. I'm feeling how Donald's felt
00:09:34
for the entire world, taking little bits of your sentences
00:09:38
and trying to twist it into different context.
00:09:41
And I'm not OK with that. So I'll get to the I'll read you
00:09:44
the the last one that she put and this is kind of the one.
00:09:47
So Beth basically ended up saying, well, the first thing
00:09:50
that was I thought was hilarious was she was she's going to play
00:09:52
her victim card right away and and.
00:09:55
Sadly, I I believe. This is a black woman, so, you
00:09:57
know, if you want to tie that in, you can.
00:09:59
If you want to call me a racist for pointing that out, you can.
00:10:01
Whatever. These days, that's what
00:10:03
everybody's doing. But she told me and this kind of
00:10:07
is my last straw, so I'll I'll reverse it.
00:10:09
The last straw for me was that she told me that there was a guy
00:10:12
on the thread who said the same thing that she's saying.
00:10:15
But I took him seriously and said it was a good talking
00:10:17
point. I I went back.
00:10:19
There's nothing like that anywhere.
00:10:20
I asked. Her to to.
00:10:21
Literally let me know what that was and she had nothing.
00:10:24
She claimed she did, but I, I mean, I'm not seeing it.
00:10:26
I'm literally not seeing it. And I really looked for it
00:10:30
because that's bullshit. That's the stupidest thing I've
00:10:33
ever heard. You're you're making this
00:10:35
judgement. You're like slandering my
00:10:37
character, calling me a sexist when when you have nothing and
00:10:41
and it's just, it's this victim mindset.
00:10:44
I'm a woman. I'm surprised she didn't play
00:10:45
the race card. Not sure.
00:10:47
Not sure why she didn't, But so she quotes me.
00:10:50
She goes, she uses a bunch of my quotes and then and I'll go
00:10:53
through them very, very quickly and she's saying I'm presenting
00:10:56
myself in an unflattering way, but you're mad when you're
00:10:59
getting called out. Well, again, I don't think I
00:11:01
did, but OK, I wasn't mad and. I didn't present myself in an
00:11:05
unflattering way by commenting on a post on Instagram.
00:11:09
There was no name calling. There was nothing like that.
00:11:10
So I'm not sure what she's talking about.
00:11:12
Just because she didn't like what I had to say and I
00:11:14
misquoted you. You said yeah.
00:11:16
She tried to tell me that I that I said people were lazy.
00:11:21
No, I said there is no drive anymore.
00:11:23
So she corrected herself to her credit, having no drive to be
00:11:28
innovative, having no drive to. Reach the top.
00:11:31
Having no drive to make millions, those things are
00:11:35
different than being lazy. Being lazy is just being lazy.
00:11:39
Having no drive anymore is because.
00:11:42
There is no reward at the finish line like there should be and
00:11:47
like this country is about. So it's me saying there's
00:11:50
there's no drive is a completely different.
00:11:52
To say that I'm calling everybody lazy is not true.
00:11:55
Some people are. But to say that I'm that's my
00:11:58
generalization is just stupid. I didn't expect to be able to
00:12:01
take that. Maybe look inward buddy.
00:12:03
So she buddied me First off and 2nd off look inward?
00:12:06
What did I possibly? Say, that makes me seem lazy.
00:12:10
There are days when I don't feel like doing anything.
00:12:12
Does that make me lazy overall? Whatever.
00:12:17
Oh anyway, I did literally quote your response to to that into
00:12:22
the gentleman, so if you can't see your bias.
00:12:25
You have a lot of reflecting that needs to happen, and if me
00:12:28
pointing out that you did this makes you feel like I'm saying
00:12:30
you embody sexism, then I it's a take away.
00:12:33
You should examine. This isn't specific one that I
00:12:37
wanted to to bring up here. It is, but but that's that.
00:12:40
Here's more examples. So here are the quotes.
00:12:42
Let me quote some of your stuff. People want free stuff.
00:12:46
That's. True.
00:12:48
How is this how? How are you attacking my
00:12:51
character by claiming that people want free stuff?
00:12:53
That's all I'm hearing. Free education that's shouted
00:12:56
from the rooftops. Universal healthcare that means
00:13:00
free to people. It's not, but that's what it
00:13:03
means to the people shouting for it.
00:13:05
So. Stupid that you would say.
00:13:07
Let's go to the third one. I think asking billionaires to
00:13:10
pay the government set tax guidelines as currently and that
00:13:13
are currently in place is stealing from the rich again.
00:13:19
I was about to call you a dumb ass Beth, but I won't.
00:13:25
A flat tax for everyone means the billionaires are paying a
00:13:31
shit load more than anybody else.
00:13:35
It's called a flat tax. It it's fair.
00:13:38
It's just that's how we need to do it.
00:13:40
And no way was I saying we should alter anything and give
00:13:44
loop if there. I don't like loopholes in the
00:13:46
corporations. I I agree with that.
00:13:48
I know that that's a big issue with everybody.
00:13:50
Heaven forbid we have corporations that.
00:13:52
That funnel and and provide jobs and, you know, help the economy
00:13:56
in any way. But I get what you're saying.
00:14:00
OK, but I'm asking for a flat tax.
00:14:03
And I'm saying that 70% which is some of these things I'm hearing
00:14:06
even 60, even 50 versus these 11:50 to 15% for everybody else
00:14:13
percent. This isn't, this is a percent.
00:14:16
It's very, very, very simple. A flat percentage means if you
00:14:21
make more, you pay more. If you make less, you pay less.
00:14:25
That seems fair. Why is that bad?
00:14:29
Why are you so against being wealthy?
00:14:33
Is it jealousy? I don't know.
00:14:35
If there was absolutely no other solution in the world, maybe we
00:14:38
could talk a little bit about it.
00:14:40
Tax them a little higher, but there are things in the world,
00:14:44
there's accountability. Number one, everybody's got a
00:14:48
opportunity to go out and do do what they need to do.
00:14:51
And 2nd off, I think our government should be doing a lot
00:14:54
better with the handling of its money, mainly this
00:14:57
administration. We'll see how the new
00:15:01
administration does here in a a little less than a month.
00:15:05
It is under a month now. Isn't it the last one?
00:15:08
This is the problem and I'm going on a little long about
00:15:11
this. But this is the problem reading
00:15:15
comprehension. If you're going to comment to
00:15:17
something that I've said or something that I've written, you
00:15:22
need to really comprehend what I'm saying.
00:15:26
And this is so not even close that I'm I that I can say this
00:15:31
confidently. This isn't like there is just
00:15:33
this little misinterpretation that I I maybe that my sentence.
00:15:36
Structure was off. It wasn't.
00:15:38
She's. Claiming that I was referring.
00:15:43
Frivolous spending. What I was meaning by frivolous
00:15:46
spending was helping the poor. That is horseshit, Beth.
00:15:51
Nowhere. Did I say frivolous?
00:15:53
Spending was helping the poor. That is a big, huge accusation
00:15:57
that you simply got wrong. Because you can't comprehend
00:16:00
what I was reading. I was saying no, I said that we
00:16:02
need to help people because of, by reducing frivolous spending
00:16:07
like monkey research, like billion dollar buildings that
00:16:11
are billions of dollars, not just a billion, billions of
00:16:15
dollars into these buildings that have that were abandoned
00:16:18
overseas that we were going to put into money.
00:16:21
That we've been sending to Ukraine hundreds of billions to
00:16:23
Ukraine, Israel, all of the places that we're sending these
00:16:27
money, all this money, you don't think that would lower at least?
00:16:31
Help the cost of education. Help payment, make things
00:16:35
cheaper on the medical level. Nowhere did I say that a
00:16:40
frivolous spending is helping the poor.
00:16:42
Give me a break. And then that's where I, I was
00:16:45
out. I mean, at that point, I mean,
00:16:47
if, if someone can't, if someone's going to
00:16:49
unintentionally slander me because they don't comprehend
00:16:52
basic English, I'm out. No more discussion.
00:16:54
So that was about her comment, the long version.
00:16:58
But this is. Hers was an example of kind of
00:17:00
like what what I'm getting in this topic.
00:17:03
It's just this is this defense mechanism for people that are
00:17:07
poor. Well, if you think that you know
00:17:11
they're assholes out there. But if you think that so many
00:17:13
people that everyone screw the poor, it's just dumb.
00:17:17
It's not the case. You can be wealthy and care
00:17:19
about the poor. There are plenty of wealthy
00:17:21
people that I know who who give and give and give and give.
00:17:25
But you can't take it from their pockets without them being OK
00:17:29
with it, and that's all I'm saying.
00:17:31
So let's move on from about her comments.
00:17:33
That was the long version. Beth, good luck to you in your
00:17:38
quest to help the poor by yelling at everybody else.
00:17:42
Oh, yeah, let me do my fling of my notes here.
00:17:47
Oh, my goodness. All right, coffee, coffee break
00:17:50
and let's go to news. Sorry, need another step.
00:18:05
It's been a long morning slash afternoon.
00:18:11
This is coming out on Christmas Eve and so I hope everybody is
00:18:15
by this point hearing this, enjoying your time, enjoying
00:18:19
trying to relax. It's very difficult.
00:18:22
I've been talking about that with everybody, with my wife,
00:18:25
with that. It's just hard to.
00:18:27
Relax when you're supposed to be relaxing.
00:18:30
There's so much to do, so many people to see when you come
00:18:32
from. Both of us have divorced
00:18:35
parents, so you've got, you know, we've got four places to
00:18:37
go and it's could be a movie. And I know there were movies
00:18:41
made like that, but so I hope everybody's good and we'll go
00:18:46
from there. Let's do some news first.
00:18:48
Speaking of, we'll talk about Santa Claus in the Great Hall,
00:18:52
Winchester, Hampshire, England. It's a lot of a lot of city
00:18:56
names. There are people.
00:18:57
Demanding refunds for the Santa Claus that was at this, this,
00:19:03
this location. And apparently every year it's a
00:19:06
big deal in this Great Hall and it's it's a festive and it's
00:19:09
kind of known. And so for people to be upset
00:19:12
about Santa's performance, if you will, is not a weird thing.
00:19:18
It wasn't like some random restaurant or store or something
00:19:21
where Santa was pretending to be.
00:19:23
By the way, any of my kid listeners, cover your ears now
00:19:26
if you're probably below the ages of about 8:00, but people
00:19:28
are demanding refunds. Matthew Fernandez was actually
00:19:32
the one that was spoken to and he said Santa had a blatantly
00:19:35
fake beard. I've never seen that before.
00:19:39
Fair enough, give him a pass there.
00:19:41
She had a very cheap red suit, so Santa was slamming it this
00:19:46
year. I'm not sure what designer makes
00:19:49
Santa suits that Matthew Fernandez preferred, but
00:19:53
whatever this one was was not it.
00:19:56
He said he wasn't talkative, he wasn't jovial.
00:19:58
Well, that's unacceptable. I agree.
00:20:00
You can't have an jovial Santa. Then he needs to probably talk
00:20:03
to the children. But he said his experience was
00:20:06
ruined. The kids were in tears.
00:20:08
He had three children with him. They were in tears.
00:20:11
Said they knew that Santa wasn't real now that Santa was fake.
00:20:15
Or at least that one was fake. I'm not sure how Matthew
00:20:19
remedied that with the kiddos, but I'm sure that if he gives
00:20:23
them presents, they'll be OK. I just thought it was funny that
00:20:26
the, that how bad can a Santa be to get this kind of publicity?
00:20:31
I mean, I just pictured this guy just like sit there just looking
00:20:35
like a drunk, just, you know, just kind of like, this sucks.
00:20:39
But man, it must have been bad. But the Hampshire Cultural Trust
00:20:42
offered refunds to anybody who had been.
00:20:45
I'm not sure that everybody kept their documentation that they
00:20:49
were there, but good luck in getting your refund.
00:20:54
Move on. There's a woman in Chongqing,
00:20:57
China. She won a grand prize of
00:21:00
$13180.00, so $1380.00 after not using her phone for one hour.
00:21:07
There's a local business that put together something called a
00:21:09
public welfare challenge and in this challenge, the spotlight.
00:21:14
Was on smartphone addiction, which I'm all supportive of in
00:21:20
observing the winner showed up in jammies and she had to lie.
00:21:24
Perfectly still, without any distractions.
00:21:27
No movies, no books, no anything.
00:21:29
Just lay there for an hour. She was the only one out of 10
00:21:34
people that was able to do that without getting up.
00:21:37
Because of restlessness. So she should, I guess it was.
00:21:40
I don't know if there was a a pot that they threw some cash
00:21:42
in, but $1380.00 exactly was the grand prize.
00:21:47
So good for her. And I am disturbed that 9 out of
00:21:51
10 couldn't do it. I think I could lay there, maybe
00:21:53
take a nap. I don't know.
00:21:54
I don't know what the rules are. You have to stay awake and stare
00:21:57
at something. Or I would think more so that
00:22:00
everybody should be required to have a conversation for one hour
00:22:03
eye to eye, without. Texting.
00:22:07
But we'll move on. This one's a good one, and it's
00:22:15
about flat Earthers, and I'm one of those.
00:22:17
Guys that of course likes to have an open mind.
00:22:20
I've told you that I I want to have conversations.
00:22:23
My colleague Joe Rogan does the same.
00:22:27
I know he's all into the alien thing.
00:22:29
I'm not quite there yet, but I, I could be, I'd, I'd like to
00:22:32
listen to people talk about it. I'm not sure I'm I'm on board
00:22:36
with just how adamant he is that there's.
00:22:39
All this different life. There's got to be something else
00:22:42
though, right? I want to believe.
00:22:44
Make me believe, Joe. Keep doing it.
00:22:47
But Flat Earth, those people, you come on.
00:22:51
I mean, you can literally get on an airplane and I don't know
00:22:53
about their gas, but you could get on an airplane and fly to
00:22:58
the same spot you left without landing, going in the same
00:23:02
direction. And I don't, I mean, I guess you
00:23:05
could sit here and analyze that and say, well, they turned and
00:23:08
then we didn't know. But it's just unbelievable to me
00:23:12
that this is still in the even a, a thing.
00:23:14
I mean, the the conspiracies behind it, I could do a whole
00:23:17
show on it. Government is, you know, using
00:23:21
illusions to make us believe this.
00:23:23
Why? Why would they do that?
00:23:25
Who gives a shit? It was flat.
00:23:27
They'd say it was flat. What's the, what's the goal of
00:23:30
us being a sphere of it being a globe?
00:23:33
What's what would what would be that benefit people from keeping
00:23:36
it, keeping it secret? No one can find out that it that
00:23:40
we're on a big ball because if they found out, who cares?
00:23:46
So there's some flat earthers from Colorado and this is called
00:23:51
the final experiment and it was AI don't know famous, but up
00:23:55
there he's known flat earther pastor named Will Duffy.
00:23:59
And he ended up he he was going to invite a bunch of people, but
00:24:02
you know that he was paid. This was being paid for through
00:24:04
this program. And I don't know how they
00:24:06
raised, if they raised funds for it, but you had three flat
00:24:09
earthers that ended up going in 15 globe believers or whatever
00:24:13
they call them, which is pretty funny that they like have a name
00:24:17
for the. 99.8% of the people in the world and they went to go
00:24:25
see the midnight sun is what they call it and watch it
00:24:29
disappear in. The middle of the Antarctic
00:24:33
summer, if you will, when that hemisphere and that pole is
00:24:37
facing the sun and you have sunlight all day every day.
00:24:42
And they didn't believe it. So we're going to go to the end
00:24:44
of the Earth, southern pole and watch the sun disappear and
00:24:49
we'll all cheer and improve this.
00:24:55
I, I can't believe this actually was a thing, honestly.
00:24:58
My question immediately is why don't you just call somebody
00:25:01
that's in the north part or somebody that some workers down
00:25:05
there and ask him to take footage?
00:25:07
Maybe they wanted to see it for themselves, I don't know.
00:25:11
But the sun was in fact there. It did not set, as most of you
00:25:17
watching have predicted. There was no discovery.
00:25:21
There was no celebration. I imagine the boat was pretty
00:25:25
downtrodden, although 15 of them were the globe Blues, who were
00:25:28
probably just like, yeah, thanks for the trip to Antarctica so we
00:25:32
could say we've been here. But for those that fell asleep
00:25:36
in 6th grade, the Earth is tilted at 23° and during the
00:25:40
solstices, one pole points away from the sun and one pole points
00:25:44
toward the sun. And if the earth was flat, that
00:25:48
wouldn't happen. So that's what they're saying.
00:25:50
I just wanted to give you a little bit in case you're
00:25:52
confused by what they were trying to see.
00:25:54
This is the best part of the whole thing they sat for.
00:25:58
Well, the quotes are pretty good.
00:25:59
I'll give you some quotes. They sat for five days and
00:26:01
waited because tonight would be is the night.
00:26:05
No, no, OK, tonight it's going to happen.
00:26:09
And finally, finally, the following was said.
00:26:14
Sometimes you're just wrong, said a dejected flat Earther.
00:26:18
The ship, however, of course there's always going to be
00:26:23
somebody with a different viewpoint.
00:26:25
This flat Earther said. I don't think this falsifies
00:26:28
Flat Earth. I don't think it proves that
00:26:31
there's a globe. I think it's just a singular
00:26:34
data point that they'll use. It's a pretty, pretty
00:26:40
significant data point, my friend.
00:26:42
But you do you and I will enjoy. I look, I would love to see some
00:26:47
more projects of these people trying to prove this.
00:26:49
I mean, I got to admire that kind of passion, that kind of
00:26:52
belief, which will lead me to religion in a second.
00:26:57
But anyway, I had written down that the publication had asked
00:27:00
why wouldn't they just make a phone call and find out for
00:27:03
themselves, get some video camera.
00:27:05
But instead they paid for a very expensive trip.
00:27:08
Flat Earth people, come on. There are there are other
00:27:10
conspiracies that at least make sense or at least could be a
00:27:13
possibility. This one's this one's kind of
00:27:16
hard. The thing that got me is they
00:27:17
said it started back in, in the 19th century, 18th century, one
00:27:22
of the two back, back before the phones and cameras and airplanes
00:27:26
and and and. Space travel, things like that.
00:27:30
Yeah, It'd be easier to believe back then.
00:27:32
OK, I can see that. It was harder to get to this
00:27:35
point in Antarctica, but now pretty sure you need to to move
00:27:42
on from this one and just join with the the facts and science.
00:27:47
All right, let's get to it. That was news.
00:27:50
Let's get let's get to this because I've already gone long
00:27:52
so I'm going to have to go quickly with this, which I don't
00:27:54
want to do, but it needs to be talked about.
00:27:58
South car attack in Germany and Magdeburg, which I believe is
00:28:06
about 80 miles West of Berlin, I believe is what I read.
00:28:09
I did not write it down. Great note taking on my part.
00:28:13
200 were injured 5. Were killed.
00:28:15
One of them was a nine year old girl, four were adults.
00:28:19
I care about them too, but it makes me really really sad when
00:28:22
a child dies for something like this.
00:28:25
So it was just a regular evening at the Christmas market, which
00:28:30
is every year in this area and and in many towns in Germany,
00:28:33
Many towns here, many towns in in Scotland where I live,
00:28:37
Glasgow. Scotland had a.
00:28:38
Has has an amazing one in city center every year this is a
00:28:43
custom for Christmas by Christians.
00:28:48
And so there was a man who took a BMW and drove it straight into
00:28:52
the marketplace, plowing through everybody.
00:28:54
And again, 200 injured. Many are critical, not many, but
00:28:59
15 to 20, and that's too many. He was 50 years old and he's a
00:29:04
doctor from Saudi Arabia. His name was Taleb Al Abdul
00:29:09
Mohsen Al Dul Mohsen, I believe, is how.
00:29:13
I'm not sure. But that's close enough.
00:29:16
For a while, Germany, the publications weren't allowed to
00:29:18
release that, but I think it's been a few days and they have in
00:29:21
fact done it. He was a refugee, claimed
00:29:25
refugee status and they finally granted that status in 2016, but
00:29:29
he arrived in O 6 as a refugee. And the irony in all this is
00:29:35
that his specialty as a doctor is psychology, psychiatry.
00:29:40
Anyway, the the problem here is, of course, immediately you look
00:29:44
at it and you go, all right, this is a Christmas market and
00:29:46
this is an obviously a Muslim man, correct?
00:29:48
There's some iffiness there because some of his social media
00:29:52
posts have been more anti Islam, have been more we need to be
00:29:57
careful about the Islam, Islamization of Germany.
00:30:02
There's also have been jihad reporters that have said, hey,
00:30:06
when is this going to end? Who have looked into this
00:30:09
further. So there's kind of this back and
00:30:11
forth. He says he used to be a Muslim,
00:30:14
claims he's not. Why would you drive your car
00:30:16
into a Christmas market with the aim to kill people if not for
00:30:21
religious purposes? I I mean, it could have been
00:30:23
just like it was a big event, but he coincided it with the
00:30:27
Christmas bells that go off and I think it was seven O 4.
00:30:30
I'm not sure the significance of the of the time or exactly the
00:30:34
bells, but they were Christmas bells.
00:30:36
And so he timed it that way or it was just a huge coincidence.
00:30:40
I'm thinking it was the former. But the Saudi government
00:30:43
expressed solidarity with Germany and, you know.
00:30:46
They said they tried to. Warn Germany about this this
00:30:48
exact guy in in 2023's last year.
00:30:53
I'm not sure again, that that's that's all coming out as we
00:30:56
speak, but but keep your eye on that.
00:30:59
That's interesting that Saudi Arabia, if true, knew something
00:31:03
that that Germany didn't when you've got this migrant in your
00:31:06
country. But Germany has a huge history.
00:31:10
Islamic extremists have a lot of stabbings in the name of Allah
00:31:13
for Muslim extremists. They've had cars plow into
00:31:18
people before they had the fame. It's like famous.
00:31:20
The the known one is 2016. I believe We're a Big Van did
00:31:25
that and I'm not sure the name of the town, but this isn't like
00:31:27
a first time thing over there. So people are pissed.
00:31:31
German citizens are pissed. I would be.
00:31:34
I know there are American citizens that are getting pissed
00:31:36
off just at protest slash, riots, our statues being, you
00:31:40
know, vandalized, our flag being ripped down for a Palestine
00:31:45
flag. These things were pissed about.
00:31:47
Whoa, how about this? So protests have broken out,
00:31:51
Heaven forbid their own country protests.
00:31:55
What's going on? What I'm trying to figure out
00:31:58
what it explains without without immediately pissing everybody
00:32:00
off. But even in Germany and and I
00:32:04
say even it doesn't surprise me this is being politicized.
00:32:07
To me, it's pretty simple. A man who was a Muslim, if he,
00:32:13
you know, this could be very well be something to throw
00:32:16
people off as he posted it, you know, pretended to be this way
00:32:20
and then with the intent of plowing into people and trying
00:32:23
to kill Christians. But it also could be a man.
00:32:26
I there's I can't understand what the other motive would be.
00:32:29
So I'll I'll keep my eye on. But the protesters are
00:32:32
frustrated because this is a migrant.
00:32:34
This is somebody who was claiming refugee status and
00:32:39
anybody that looked into this issue like I have in that area,
00:32:44
Germany, France, even as far up as Sweden, these migrants have
00:32:49
worked their way up, whether it's through the Mediterranean,
00:32:52
whether it's through the Middle East and up.
00:32:55
And there's been a lot of problems.
00:32:57
But because of politics, no one wanted to talk about it.
00:33:01
Well, people are starting to talk about it and more people
00:33:04
are starting to get out there. But what I'm pissed about, and
00:33:08
it's the same thing as before with Daniel Penny and Jordan
00:33:11
Neely case. This is being politicized and
00:33:15
every protester out there is all of a sudden the far right.
00:33:19
Anybody that has an issue with this is the far right.
00:33:23
Nobody else has an issue with it.
00:33:25
Nobody else is questioning refugee status and the process
00:33:31
and maybe readdressing it and just talking about it and trying
00:33:34
to figure out a better way. Why is this happening?
00:33:37
Is there a vetting system that can be better than what it has
00:33:41
been? Is there a way to find signs
00:33:45
that people are willing to do this?
00:33:47
You do not need to be far right to want to question the process.
00:33:53
But no, all of these publications, only the far
00:33:57
right, those assholes, we're, we're fine with all the refugees
00:34:01
coming in and killing people. We're fine with that.
00:34:04
People will argue, well, people in Germany killed her people
00:34:08
also. Well, why add to it?
00:34:11
Deal with Let's deal with our Let's deal with our own
00:34:13
citizens. Same in the United States.
00:34:14
We have huge violence issues, but why would we want to?
00:34:17
Add to that that's the it's one of the dumbest arguments I've
00:34:20
heard. Everyone's upset about the gangs
00:34:24
coming in illegally, but what about our own people killing?
00:34:27
Well, let's deal with that too. That doesn't mean I want.
00:34:31
Anymore I even went as. Far as to look up and read Al
00:34:35
Jazeera, I read. Reuters I read, I refuse to read
00:34:40
MSNBC anymore. I they're joke.
00:34:43
I'll read CNN just because they're probably closest to the
00:34:47
line. But I want to see this
00:34:49
perspective. I don't think I even read Fox
00:34:52
News on this people. So get off my back.
00:34:55
But Al Jazeera was why I was hoping to go and get some non
00:35:01
bias and I was disappointed. They're the ones that made these
00:35:05
claims. The far right is rallying
00:35:07
against migration. Only the far right though.
00:35:11
I understand Al Jazeera can put out opinion pieces, but I don't
00:35:15
think this is one of them. I'm calling you out Al Jazeera.
00:35:17
I'm not sure you give a fuck. But I'm still saying I didn't
00:35:21
see anywhere on there that this was an opinion piece.
00:35:23
I didn't even look to see who wrote it.
00:35:26
But you're publishing it. And to say this far right, this
00:35:30
false rhetoric is going to continue to cause problems.
00:35:34
I thought it was just our own country, but apparently
00:35:38
something like this happens in Germany and it's still the far
00:35:41
right. Let's blame the far right.
00:35:43
Look, in my mind the far right are a bunch of assholes.
00:35:49
But it's like 100 people. When you say the.
00:35:51
Far right, the far right, I've said it now 37 times, the far
00:35:57
right is not right wing. The far right is not
00:36:01
independence like myself who voted for Donald Trump.
00:36:06
The far right, they're not people who can look at this
00:36:09
situation and say, man, we need to talk about this.
00:36:12
We need to figure something out. Let's let's see what's going on.
00:36:15
How does that make? You far right define far right
00:36:20
is I guess what I'm saying. And and Al Jazeera threw this in
00:36:23
there. I think it was AAPR was the
00:36:26
other one. There are a couple of them.
00:36:27
That and of course some small publications that nobody, nobody
00:36:30
gives a shit about. We're we're saying these types
00:36:32
of things. Most publications were trying to
00:36:34
be neutral and but again, the biggest thing with these
00:36:38
publications like that I have a problem with were these types of
00:36:43
things children and people with migration background history
00:36:48
are. Scared to be in the streets with
00:36:50
these protests. What about the citizens?
00:36:54
They're the ones that should be scared to be in the fucking
00:36:56
streets. They're getting run over by
00:36:57
cars. OK, you're scared of me and
00:36:59
they're making it out. They're victimizing a group of
00:37:02
people when nothing's happened to them.
00:37:06
This isn't like somebody took a car and and rammed it through a
00:37:09
mosque during their one of their five times of worship a day.
00:37:13
This is. Something that happened to them,
00:37:16
they're protesting and now they're going to victimize the
00:37:19
people that are afraid to go outside.
00:37:21
I don't know, stand up and tell people of like mind to stop
00:37:25
doing this shit. I don't see Jewish people.
00:37:30
We can talk about Israeli government if you want, that's
00:37:32
different. But I don't see these, these
00:37:35
individual Jewish people driving into mosques.
00:37:38
I don't see Christian people attacking Islamic and I'm sure
00:37:42
it happens on a on a low level. I, I get it from all sides.
00:37:45
I get it. But you don't hear this kind of
00:37:48
stuff. There's not jihad against our
00:37:51
version, Christian version of jihad happening right now.
00:37:55
Tell me that there is I haven't seen it again, government and
00:37:59
war and and all of these things. That's a that's a whole
00:38:02
different ball. I'm talking about these
00:38:04
individual attacks, these people that take it upon themselves
00:38:07
that are somehow making their way into these countries and
00:38:11
killing people in the name of Allah.
00:38:14
Again, I've said it. I'm not sure that this gentleman
00:38:17
is that, but it's sure looking like it.
00:38:20
Give me another motive. Fortunately, he's alive.
00:38:22
Maybe they can get another motive that makes sense, say,
00:38:26
fortunately, usually in these cases, I don't like them alive.
00:38:28
But hey, maybe I want to hear what he has to say.
00:38:30
But this is the last part, and this what's not the last part.
00:38:34
It's the last part. Right now this guy, he's a
00:38:36
professor in the Netherlands. And you knew this.
00:38:40
Was going to happen or I knew it was going to happen and I'm
00:38:44
super fired up about it. Of course you cannot.
00:38:48
But you can, because you did. But you sound like an idiot.
00:38:53
You cannot. Possibly find a way.
00:38:56
I try to convince myself you that that nobody there wasn't
00:38:59
going to. I'm only going to read this.
00:39:00
I wasn't going to see this out there.
00:39:01
But sure enough, some douchebag in in the Netherlands said we
00:39:06
need to be careful with things like this, stories like this,
00:39:10
especially now that Donald Trump has been elected and will be
00:39:14
running the United States and probably the world.
00:39:17
Dude First off get over it and 2nd off there is absolutely no
00:39:24
way to connect what happened in that night, people being
00:39:29
frustrated with Germany's process to Donald.
00:39:32
Trump and the people who voted for him.
00:39:36
Are you saying that there are 70 to 80 million people in this
00:39:39
country, in the United States alone?
00:39:42
Who? Everybody that cast a vote for
00:39:45
Donald Trump has Islamophobia and wants to hurt Muslims.
00:39:49
Really, how about they stop doing this type of stuff and you
00:39:55
have nothing else to write about?
00:39:56
That's what I'm cheering for. So I stopped right there because
00:40:00
I was just disgusted by it. It just the Donald Trump stuff
00:40:05
is is, you know, some, some guy in the Netherlands thinks he
00:40:07
understands American politics enough to call out Donald Trump
00:40:11
and his voters. It's not what mainstream media
00:40:15
is saying. This isn't some sort of it is,
00:40:17
to a point, some sort of shit show.
00:40:20
But there is real politics. Is our real politics involved.
00:40:25
This isn't a personality contest.
00:40:27
This is an oh, no, yeah, I feel like we're doing this every time
00:40:30
Donald Trump is in an election. This country spoke loud and
00:40:36
clear and probably louder and clearer than it appeared, which
00:40:41
we've been through before. And it is not just about Donald
00:40:45
Trump versus the world. It is about policy, it is about
00:40:49
things like this that are happening.
00:40:51
It is about our country being essentially invaded, free for
00:40:54
all. If you want to invade, you come
00:40:55
come across that's going to stop along with a ton of other issues
00:41:00
that our federal government should have been taken care of
00:41:02
and and wasn't taken care of. So let me move on and the last
00:41:07
thing I'll say tonight, I know this show's just a little bit
00:41:09
longer, but I have a lot to say. A lot of it was about the
00:41:11
butthurt comment Beth or whatever her name was.
00:41:14
The reason I'm frustrated by this is because.
00:41:18
I am questioning this guy's motives.
00:41:21
I am questioning Muslims versus Christians versus Jews versus
00:41:26
are Muslim extremists different than Jewish and Christian
00:41:30
extremists? I literally just said, yeah, I
00:41:32
said that's you're seeing a lot of that.
00:41:35
Maybe I'm wrong, you know, maybe there's stuff going on that we
00:41:39
don't hear about. But in my opinion, in 2024, of
00:41:45
the three religions, it seems like the extremism comes from
00:41:49
the Muslims the most and that their goal is to eliminate the
00:41:57
others. That is an extreme point of
00:42:00
view. Let me make that clear.
00:42:03
The extremists from that religion, their goal is to
00:42:07
eliminate people of other faiths.
00:42:10
And that's just. Not a good thing.
00:42:12
The Christians tried to do it back in the day a long time ago.
00:42:14
I think it was 1080. Crusades.
00:42:18
Poor Jews. I don't think they've tried to
00:42:19
do anything except killed Jesus other than that, and I don't
00:42:23
think they've had their crusades or their jihads and they're
00:42:27
still, they're still probably the worst.
00:42:30
Treated people in the world, not the government of Israel.
00:42:33
I'm talking about just Jews in general. anti-Semitism.
00:42:37
I have to clarify everything with you people.
00:42:40
Let's talk about the three main religions, because the reason I
00:42:43
haven't talked about religion is because it's it's so touchy.
00:42:46
More people have died in the name of God than any other.
00:42:51
For than any other reason, and I don't like that.
00:42:55
I don't like something that should be special and something
00:42:57
that should guide us to greatness, guide us to be
00:43:02
compassionate, to be caring, to be all of those terms, all those
00:43:06
labels, to be considerate. We'll keep going.
00:43:10
That is what religion should be. It should be inspirational.
00:43:14
It should be something that allows inner peace.
00:43:18
And it got me thinking about the three main religions that we're
00:43:21
talking about here, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
00:43:27
Just to let you know, Judaism was about, established about.
00:43:31
1800 BC. Clearly the oldest of the three
00:43:35
Christians were next, which was of course I just say 1 century
00:43:39
AD happened at 0 actually happened after the resurrection
00:43:44
I believe is when they technically claim Christianity
00:43:47
began Islam. I've I've been taught 610 or 622
00:43:51
depending on how you view it, when Muhammad actually reached
00:43:56
Mecca, etcetera. Etcetera.
00:43:58
But let's talk about the similarities.
00:44:00
All believe in one God. Simple enough.
00:44:03
Monotheism. That's a big one.
00:44:04
There are a lot of religions that don't.
00:44:06
A lot of religions. Believe in other crazy stuff
00:44:09
which is interesting to me. My phone.
00:44:11
I apologize for all the vibration.
00:44:13
I promise I don't have a dildo under my desk.
00:44:16
All of the three trace lineage back to Abraham, the one guy,
00:44:22
father of the Jews. All three all use the Torah,
00:44:28
which is the first five books of the Old Testament.
00:44:32
All three use the first five books in the Bible.
00:44:36
Common themes between the three Sacrifice, good work,
00:44:39
hospitality, peace, justice, pilgrimage and the afterlife.
00:44:43
Other things including fasting, charity.
00:44:47
Even the greeting, something about peace being with you, is
00:44:50
all three greet the same way. Let's talk about the
00:44:54
differences. Are they really that different?
00:44:56
Do you believe in one prophet versus another?
00:45:00
And so all of a sudden the Jews had many messengers.
00:45:03
OK Christians, Jesus, son of God, the prophet.
00:45:07
OK we all know these things but for some reason needs to be said
00:45:12
again. Islam.
00:45:14
Muhammad is considered the seal of all the prophets, so he
00:45:17
basically was the the guy. There were a bunch of prophets,
00:45:20
but he was the guy. They even they even claimed
00:45:22
Jesus was a prophet. But he wasn't the guy.
00:45:27
Again, Jews with the Torah, Christians with the Bible,
00:45:30
mainly the New Testament, and then of course Islam with the
00:45:34
Quran. I think I pronounced that
00:45:36
correctly. And all of these things have so
00:45:37
many similarities. Again, the 1st 5 books and all
00:45:40
of them are the same. The same.
00:45:42
Jews have synagogues, Christians have churches, Islam, mosques.
00:45:46
It's basically 3 exact three different ways to say the same
00:45:50
fucking thing. A place to worship, baptism,
00:45:52
communion, prayer. That's Christian, but it's kind
00:45:56
of the same with the pillars of Islam Five times a day they
00:46:00
pray, fasting similar to Lent, you know, the pilgrimage to
00:46:03
Mecca, these things, these are all Islam, but it's all forms of
00:46:08
the same thing. The interesting one to me was
00:46:10
that Christians trace Adam and Eve for the reason for sin.
00:46:14
That whole story I won't tell you, you know it.
00:46:17
Islam, they just believe that humans are weak and that's what
00:46:20
causes sin. OK, fair enough.
00:46:22
The. Question is and I'll end it
00:46:23
here. Why are we fucking killing each
00:46:26
other over the over these three religions and why have we been
00:46:31
for a long time? There doesn't seem to be a lot
00:46:33
of difference there. According to friends of mine who
00:46:38
are Muslim. If I was in the wrong area and
00:46:42
there were some Muslim extremists and I said something
00:46:45
negative about Islam or disagree with them, they might try and
00:46:49
kill me. I know in this country there are
00:46:51
extreme Christians. A lot of people say that the KKK
00:46:55
is an extreme. I don't know enough about those
00:46:57
guys and girls that they would harm others Jews.
00:47:02
Why aren't we killing each other over this?
00:47:04
Why is this? You know this this Middle East
00:47:07
deal is religious backed. It's kind of not.
00:47:12
I mean is, is someone, I mean, besides screaming Allah Akbar
00:47:16
and the things that that that you hear the the terrorists
00:47:18
scream are are people, are the Jewish people really like firing
00:47:22
missiles going, oh, this is for Jews.
00:47:25
I mean, it's just. It's become that because of
00:47:28
other circumstances, what happened to individual
00:47:31
spirituality? What happened to somebody
00:47:34
feeling their religion and not not having to be told to you by
00:47:39
somebody else or taught to you by a book.
00:47:41
What happened to to, you know, a lot of the Christians say ask
00:47:45
Jesus into your heart, but then they tell you to do it.
00:47:48
You got it. You have to.
00:47:49
You have to. This is the issue with organized
00:47:51
religion today. Again, I would die to sit here
00:47:57
unintended. I hate to say that.
00:47:59
I would love to sit here and have different religions in this
00:48:03
studio and talk and talk about it.
00:48:07
How do you feel when this happens?
00:48:08
How do you feel when this happens?
00:48:10
How were you brought up? What are your worship ceremony
00:48:13
services like? What are your holidays like?
00:48:16
Let's learn. But instead you have these
00:48:19
extreme groups and these people that are just willing to just
00:48:23
turn on another human being because of who they believe the
00:48:27
prophet was. Muhammad is better than Jesus,
00:48:30
so fuck you. Jesus is.
00:48:33
Jesus is all everything, so fuck everybody else.
00:48:35
I mean, I've been told that it just is because it is.
00:48:38
Why do you think these things? You think these things are just
00:48:40
is. I understand blind faith, but at
00:48:42
the same time, you can't look at everybody else and necessarily
00:48:46
expect the same. And that's where I'll end, man.
00:48:49
I, I can go on and on. And this show is a little
00:48:51
longer. So hope you enjoyed it and and I
00:48:53
hope let me know if you want to hear more of, of if you want to
00:48:56
have me have some. Like I said, I have plenty of
00:48:59
friends in all religions, all races and creeds, and I would
00:49:02
love to have some Muslim friends on.
00:49:05
I'd love to have the, the fact some Jewish friends on and talk
00:49:09
religion. It's an important one, but I
00:49:11
think it's one when it comes to politics and government and the
00:49:16
things that have been going on in this world.
00:49:18
It's just one that kind of takes a back seat right now.
00:49:20
But the atheism is picking up and that's fine.
00:49:23
But why? Why is it now?
00:49:26
What are the reasons for it? And those are the things I'd
00:49:28
love to talk about. So like and subscribe rolling
00:49:31
trying to get this out so that you guys have something on
00:49:33
Christmas to listen to, you know, maybe escape the family if
00:49:37
you need a little, if you need about what a almost an hour.
00:49:42
If you need an hour, get it, get it away.
00:49:44
If you need 30 minutes, listen to this, click on it and maybe
00:49:47
you'll have something to talk about at the dinner table with
00:49:50
your family. So love you guys.
00:49:53
And I will end this with a, an anonymous quote and I it's not
00:49:58
from the Bible. It could be, it's not from
00:50:00
anything, but it, it seemed like it covered it all.
00:50:02
So I'm just going to go and say it.
00:50:03
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my
00:50:08
strength in whom I will trust, my shield and the horn of my
00:50:12
salvation, my stronghold. Nothing about specifics, nothing
00:50:17
about prophets, nothing about which religion This is one God.
00:50:23
Strength, inner strength, trust. This can apply to every single
00:50:28
person in the world without turning on each other.
00:50:33
They're thinking it might mean something different.
00:50:37
All right, have a merry. Christmas everybody, and I'll
00:50:38
see you after.
