294- The Bible predicted what Trump is unknowingly setting in motion with Dr. Bob Thiel
Dr. Bob Thiel discusses how Donald Trump's policies and actions are unintentionally aligning with biblical prophecies about the end times. He presents a balanced view that acknowledges both positive and problematic aspects of Trump's approach while explaining the prophetic significance of current global developments.
• Dr. Thiel's background includes military service, scientific publications, and extensive theological study
• Trump's push for increased European military spending may inadvertently fulfill prophecies about Europe becoming a military power
• Trump's tariff policies are causing nations to form new trade alliances, potentially creating the prophesied end-time trading system
• Gold prices hitting record highs after Trump's election, fulfilling a prediction in Dr. Thiel's book based on biblical prophecies
• The comparison between Trump and Cyrus the Great has limitations - Trump isn't prophesied by name and doesn't rule over Israel
• Technology developments are enabling prophesied control of buying and selling through digital currencies and ID verification
• Media bias on both sides prevents Americans from seeing the full picture of current events
• Biblical prophecies about knowledge increasing and information control are being fulfilled through internet censorship
• The growing national debt under multiple administrations aligns with warnings in the book of Habakkuk

welcome everyone to politically high tech with your host, elias. Uh yes, for those who love newcomers, I keep bringing them or something, even coming to me. I mean, I look, I just go by why I think who I think is great. I have to reject some of them because some of them want to promote kiddie stuff. This is not a kiddie kind of podcast. Nope, not for fashion design. Nope. How is house interior design? Nope, even though I need that help personally. But nope, not for the audience.
Speaker 1:I'd rather share politics, tech and development, and development in this podcast just means anything that can elevate humanity in a productive, positive way and that obviously, obviously does include the great god. You know god, jesus, and I've included some of the religions from time to time. You know, I was raised as a christian because that's the one I am most familiar with, but we are going to mix at least two of them together, actually possibly even three. So this could be a great mesh of three of the major, major topics definitely the geopolitics, you know, history, all of that, and even the development. We we are gonna add some god. For those of you who get easily offended by god, that's a you problem. God is ready, you're not ready, okay, and we're gonna mix in some tech. All I know is I'm not gonna go through my history.
Speaker 1:I kind of went through that, some of the past episodes. You figure out what is what I already just told. One of the last tech episodes I was already released at the oldest internet I know was aol, the you got mail thing. Yes, I'm aging myself just a teeny bit. Just a teeny bit hurts a little bit, but enough about me. And we're not going to get to all of that as much.
Speaker 1:I might compare it. You know I don't. You know I might break that promise. I'm going to be honest, I might break it. I'm going to break. You know promises are meant to be broken. Yes, cynics, you might get your victory here, but I got a very, very accomplished. Um guess, and trust me, he has his own library, to his own. I'm telling, especially when plugging that website, start checking it out. He has a library you want to check in god politics, I connects the two. Very well, look no further further. We have Dr Bob Thiel and before we get started, feel free to introduce yourself. And what do you want the audience, the listeners, the viewers, to know about?
Speaker 2:you, let's see. So, as far as things that are relevant, I was raised in Michigan, went to the military. That's when I moved to California. I'm coming to you now from California. The reason I went to the military is I's when I moved to California. I'm coming to you now from California. The reason I went to the military is I didn't want to go to college. Now I've got 12 or 14 years of college.
Speaker 2:I'm a published scientist, a theologian. I've written a lot of books. As far as with the current president, I've actually written two books. I wrote one that came out just before he came into office the first time and world events lined up with at least 22 things in that book that I predicted or had warned about, and then, currently, a couple of days before he became president, the second time I put out this book, and one of the reasons I want to pull this up is how can I put this? I'm not a Republican or a Democrat and I'm not encouraging you to vote one way or the other. I don't vote. All right.
Speaker 2:The book is called Unintended Consequences in Donald Trump's Presidency. Some of you listening probably can't stand Trump. Anything about Trump If it's not horrible, you don't want to hear it Others. If it's not positive toward Trump, you don't want to hear it. I'm not trying to be pro or con Donald Trump. What I do say, and that's why it's called Unintended Consequences is that Donald Trump has done things, will do things and that will affect the world. Which people agree with that part, but there are also things that align with prophecies, and so, basically, one of the things, what I want the listeners to get out of this, is that actually, despite nonsense, you'll read at Wikipedia and, by the way, I was an editor for Wikipedia, in fact, the last time I edited was probably last year, but I was a more serious editor for Wikipedia like 30 years ago but they'll put stuff on there and if you do a Google search, first thing that comes up is Wikipedia almost all the time, even though it's not it, because it seems to be biased toward Wikipedia. And you go to Wikipedia and they'll discount certain things and it's nonsense. And I don't want to spend a lot of time going through some of the specifics, but I'll just give one.
Speaker 2:I wasn't planning on talking about this, just thought of it. Like, for example, if you go to Wikipedia's article about the Exodus, all right, it says the Exodus is the founding myth of the Israelite people because it was supposed to happen around the year 1250 BC, bce, and there's no evidence it happened then. Therefore, this is just nonsense. They just made this stuff up. Okay, now that's what the Wikipedia article says. Now it's got one little small part in there that says now there are some who think it happened perhaps around 1446 BCE, but that's discounted. So that's all they say. Now, again, I wasn't here to talk about the Exodus, but it'll set the stage, okay. Well, it turns out there actually is evidence of the Exodus backing up a couple hundred years before. Okay, and they'll tell you there's no Egyptian evidence on it. That's nonsense.
Speaker 2:I don't know if any of your listeners have ever watched the Ten Commandments movie, the old one with Charlton Heston. You got the different plagues and all this kind of stuff happening, right, because those are in the book of Exodus. Well, it turns out there's an Egyptian document called the Ipuwer Papyrus that actually talks about the same kinds of stuff that happened to the Egyptians that the Bible said. But you go to Wikipedia, it discounts it. And again, I'm not here to bash Wikipedia, because it does have a lot of good stuff in it too.
Speaker 2:But what I do want people to realize is don't fall for this nonsense. Well, it's all debunked. No, it's not. There's no proof. Well, actually there is. And it's interesting because I've seen editing biases and when I first started to volunteer for Wikipedia, they said that you have no point of view. It was mostly just the facts, and I found out if I cited facts from like the second century, like 1800 years ago, pull them out. So, wait a second, that was a fact. That wasn't my opinion because I didn't agree with their narrative, but anyway, that's a long introduction to this.
Speaker 2:But as far as Donald Trump now, some of your listeners won't agree with what I'm about to say I think he thinks that what he's doing is best for the country. Now, yes, I think he does what he thinks is best for himself, okay. Now, yes, I think he does what he thinks is best for himself. Ok, just to start off with that. But I don't think he thinks that things he's doing are bad for the country, or, if they are, he thinks it's just a minor thing and things will get better. And he thinks he's just right about everything. Of course, no human is right about everything.
Speaker 1:I hate to say this, elias neither me or you are actually going to be right about everything. Oh yeah, no, this is. I was going to be clear. Feel free to even go off top with the Wikipedia, because I'm sure it's going to connect. I trust you, so don't worry about that. And this is not a pro or anti-Trump kind of podcast. I have pro-Trump and anti-Trump people on my show, so this is not a safe space for either camp. I'm anti-save space for either camp.
Speaker 2:I'm anti-save space by the way, but see my point, though in writing. What I've done is to show that some of the policies he proposed before he came in office I mean, he was pretty clear about certain things he was going to do. That's why I was able to get this book out a couple of days before he came into office All right, and basically he's doing things that are aligning with biblical prophecies, but he doesn't have a clue that that's what he's doing. For example, we'll go back to his first term in office and his current term in office. His first term in office, he goes out and says look, there's this thing called NATO. There's like 27, 20 or 30 countries in NATO. Now there's more now, but whatever it is, and the United States spends more money on its military than all the other countries put together times three, and overall, by the way, those other back then it was 27, 28 countries. They have a bigger economy than the United States does. So he looks at this and says this isn't fair, this isn't right. Okay, and as a taxpaying American citizen, I can understand why he would bring that up. Okay, so he gets the Europeans upset, gets them to try to spend a little bit more money on defense. That works a little bit. Then there's Russia's special military operation to Ukraine. That was started just over three years ago. That scares the Europeans Well. And then what scared them again was Donald Trump being reelected.
Speaker 2:Last week there was a NATO conference. They've agreed not to the 2% that Donald Trump told them they should spend of their gross national product on the military. Well, supposedly well, actually, they did. Whether they do it or not is another matter. They've actually agreed to spend 5%, which is like three times as much or four times as much, five times as much as a lot of more spending on their militaries by the year 2035, I think it was Now, as it turns out in Donald Trump's second term of office. Instead of United States spending three times as much as all of them put together, we only spend two times as much as all of them put together.
Speaker 2:All right, but now they're going to spend more money. Oh, do you have any children? No, okay, all right, if you have kids and they live with you, they're kind of supposed to do what you want them to do, more or less. But you know what happens when they start to get money, their own money, particularly if they earn it, they seem to think they can spend it the way they want. Well, what's this got to do with Europe and Donald Trump? Well, you're telling these Europeans they got to spend more on their military.
Speaker 2:They're also telling the Europeans, by the way, that we're going to put all kinds of tariffs on you, because Trump said the tariff was like the most beautiful word in English language, or some nonsense like that. I don't agree. Tariffs are the most beautiful word, but I can see them as a negotiating tactic. Okay, that part I get, all right. So you got the Europeans and we're telling the Europeans, by the way, we're going to charge you 25% tariffs on your cars, which are one of your biggest exports, and you need to spend 5% of your gross national product on military. So you know what the head of Volkswagen said several weeks ago, a month or two ago. He said, by the way, we made military things before World War II. Okay, we can do it again.
Speaker 2:So one of the things that the Europeans are doing is one they say they're going to increase military spending, but they also would like to figure out how to spend more domestically instead of buying it all from the United States. So what we're starting to do is to enable Europe to become a military power on its own, because when they're spending their own money and they've got a lot more weapons, they're probably going to decide how they want to use them too. So the reason that is an unintended consequence is again I understand President Trump's logic for why he wants them to spend the money. I can understand the United States. We've been subsidizing Europe, if you will, for decades. That's one of the reasons they've had the ability to have, generally speaking, greater social benefits than in this country.
Speaker 2:But when they do this, the Bible warns about the Book of Revelation, talk about a prophecy. The Book of Revelation talks about this beast that rises from the sea, and it says that this beast had a deadly wound. So in other words, it looks like it was eliminated. Well, if you've looked through the last century or so, you can see Germany rose up a couple of times, got other people involved, had a couple of world wars. They lost both of them. So it seems like Europe suffered a mortal wound and who would pay any attention to them? But the Bible then says people are going to finally say who is like this European beast and who can make war with him because he's become militarily successful, and that's a prophecy. It has not happened yet. Okay, but that's out there Now for your listeners who might be biblically inclined. Some people say well, how do you know? That's got to be Europe. This is something I'm sure President Trump does not know. Maybe someone told him once, but I don't think he would know or understand.
Speaker 2:It Turns out in the book of Daniel in the Old Testament. The book of Revelation is the last book of the New Testament. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew scriptures Hebrew and Aramaic actually for this book. In the seventh chapter of the book of Daniel, daniel sees a vision of this beast, and this beast rises out of the Great Sea. Now, as it turns out, other parts of the Bible tell you that the Great Sea is the sea that bordered what we would call Israel-Palestine these days, including Gaza and that sea happens to be the Mediterranean Sea. Now, I've been to the Mediterranean Sea a bunch of times and unfortunately, like the Pacific Ocean, it's normally cold. Okay, unlike the East Coast, where your water warms up more in the summer. Ours doesn't warm up so much. But anyway, the great sea is the mediterranean sea according to the bible, and so when we talk about the beast that rises from the sea is the mediterranean sea. If you look throughout a map, right now, all the northern part of the mediterranean sea is controlled by europe powers. You've got Israel on the side and then you've got North Africa below it. But even North Africa, most of it, was part of the old Roman Empire thousands of years ago, and this beast is supposed to arise in one that Daniel saw.
Speaker 2:Most prophecy interpreters will say that one of those beasts was the Roman Empire. Okay, so it's not something unique for me, for your listeners. So, anyway, what this has to do with all this stuff is that we are enabling the rise of a power that will one day, in my view, turn against the United States, based upon some other prophecies, and this is one thing that's being enabled unknowingly, and so that's one of the things. Now I don't know again how well many of your listeners know about certain prophetic things, but in the Bible it talks about some power called Mystery Babylon, the Great end time Babylon, daughter of Babylon, not ancient Babylon that Saddam Hussein thought he was putting back together. By the way, he did think he was putting it back together. He actually had bricks made with his imprint on it because he thought he was going to restore Babylon, but that's not the one the Bible was talking about.
Speaker 2:Anyway, the Bible says it will become a great trading power and it will help dominate the world in terms of trade and the merchants of the world become wealthy by trading with this Babylon. It's mentioned in Chapter 17 and 18 of the book of Revelation. But what does this have to do with Donald Trump? I mentioned tariffs. Now it turns out Donald Trump put tariffs on everybody, some more than others, but tariffs nonetheless. Well, if you're trading with the United States and I'm trading with the United States for sake of argument, we won't be Americans. If we think our trade is going to get hurt, you know, we might decide to talk to each other. Could be. You know, there's an expression the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
Speaker 2:Now, the morning after Donald Trump was reelected, I posted at the COGwritercom website one of the news posts I made. I posted that, because of Donald Trump's reelection, that I believe the Europeans would move on what they call the Mercosur deal. For your listeners, this is a deal that's been dragging on forever and it's a deal involving the European Union and the Mercosur bloc of nations in South America. They are Argentina, brazil, paraguay, uruguay, maybe one or two others are getting involved with that. So it's supposed to be a massive deal, but Europeans didn't go for it because, basically, the farmers in France are like, wait a second, we're going to get undercut by those South Americans. We don't want this deal. Well, a month to the day actually after the morning after Donald Trump was reelected, the Europeans approved it, even though the French are complaining now. They still got a couple more hurdles to go, but they've approved it. Couple more hurdles to go, but they've approved it.
Speaker 2:And one of the things that the president of the European Commission, the European Union's top leader as far as we is called the European Commission president Her name is Ursula von der Leyen and one of the things that she made a comment on was about these tariffs and what's going to happen because of them. Now the European Union, by the way, has 449 plus million people that are in it. Ursula goes out and says to Trump more or less by the way, there's another 150 million people, at least their countries want to become part of us. So you know, that's like you know, 600 million people. It's kind of like double what you guys have. And she says and she made a comment that sounded like Trump said and my phone's been ringing off the hook all the time All these countries want to make a deal with us, and so one of the unintended consequences of promoting tariffs is the fact that we are seeing the Europeans getting more serious about making deals. Matter of fact, ursula went over to India after Trump got in again to work on a deal. They've been sitting on with India for a zillion years.
Speaker 2:So one of the things Donald Trump is doing he's motivating this trade combine to develop that the Bible warns is going to happen. It's not here yet, ok, to quote Jesus Matthew 24, 60, and it's not yet OK. So I'm not telling everybody OK, it's all over to tomorrow, nothing like that, all right. But I am saying that we're starting to see things align with that, and so that's one of the many unintended consequences of Donald Trump's trade policies. Now I understand, by the way, why the United States would use tariffs and some other things.
Speaker 2:We do get taken advantage of by other countries. For example, we're supposed to have this. We had NAFTA, and we're also supposed to have something else that Donald Trump redid between the United States, mexico and Canada. I'm only going to talk about Canada for a moment Now. With Canada, it turns out I'm very familiar with nutritional supplements. I'm a nutritional supplement company. We sell to healthcare professionals. It turns out Canadians can sell all their stuff in the United States, but we can't sell our stuff over there. We can, but we've got to jump through lots of hoops and when we tried some years ago, canadian government never even responded. So we gave up and it's amazing. So I understand why, even though this is not something that Donald Trump is going to try to work on I don't think but there are non-tariff trade barriers that shouldn't be there and I understand his desire to fix that. And again would like you know, they'd like more Fathers made in the United States. I can understand Donald Trump's motivations, but the end result is that you're talking about people who are getting upset and trying to make other deals with others. So the Europeans and the Canadians, by the way, met to try to come up with some other way that they can trade better, just to use that as another example. And so if you get enough countries going in that direction, it will affect the United States and again, I think it's biblically prophesied.
Speaker 2:So those are just a couple of things that were in the book, the easiest one. Here's an easy one. I wrote gold will hit. Well, excuse me, I'm going to read it verbatim Gold will set records in US dollar terms. Gold will set further in US dollar terms. Gold will set further records in US dollar terms in the relatively near future is what I wrote. That was published January 16th. You can check it at Amazon, okay, and that was in that book.
Speaker 2:And whether your listeners have paid any attention to the price of gold, I don't remember how much it's up now, but it's up a lot, okay, 20%, 30%, more than 10 percent anyway, from when he came in office. Now, why did I make that prediction? Because I'm a gold bug or whatever? No, is the Bible saying about gold? Actually, yes, there's prophecies in the book of Daniel that says that this European leader who's going to rise up is going to have a lot of gold. He's going to accumulate gold, so that tells me it's going to have value. I mentioned before about the book of Revelation. It talks about the merchants of the world who got rich through trading with this Babylon, and one of the things they mentioned was gold. Now, what that tells me is that gold is going to have some value for some period of time. Now I don't know. I'm not saying it's always going to go up. It might be going down right now as we talk, I don't know, Although I think the markets are closed. At least the US markets are closed. Okay, maybe somewhere in Asia. That was a prediction based upon the Bible and I felt that certain policies from Donald Trump would lead to that.
Speaker 2:Give another example I told you I wrote this other book about Donald Trump before back. It came out in January 2017. And I was doing a radio. I was a guest on a radio program and it might have been out of Louisiana. It was one of the southern states to host and we were going through because at that time, I think because Trump had been in office for I don't know, 100 days plus or minus, and I said, like you know, some things in my book are already happening and others are going to happen, and the host agreed with me on all of them except for one.
Speaker 2:I said the United States is going to increase its debt, its official debt, under Donald Trump, and he's like, oh no, he's going to solve that problem. Well, turns out, you can blame it on COVID, you can blame it on Donald Trump, you can blame it on the US political system. Whatever you want to blame it on, the debt went up and Biden-Harris administration. The debt went up. Now, of course, it had gone up in the Obama-Biden administration and it started to accelerate in the last Bush administration. As it turns out, donald Trump is proposing something called the. He calls it the big, beautiful bill Pass. The Senate, the House, still have to figure out how they're going to reconcile this, but whether it goes through or not, it has a debt going up, about $3 trillion more than it would have done so otherwise. Now to defend the president for a moment. I believe that there are more positive effects of some of the things that he's proposed than the mainstream tells you. That being said, I still think the debt will go up.
Speaker 2:Now, as far as the mainstream, though, if you don't mind, I was watching CNN last night and there was a guy who I guess and I don't remember his name he was, let's call him pro-Trump a guest, and I don't remember his name, let's call him pro-Trump, and he was picking on a CNN panelist because the last time Trump had a tax bill that went through, she and some others, made various comments that were not right. For example, he said it was a tax break on the rich and the rich were going to pay less taxes. This was going to be bad on everybody. So this guy says, well, no, the amount of taxes for the rich went up, and so he tried to bring all this stuff up and instead of acknowledging her error, instead she said, well, but that one's different than this one because this one's going to hurt poor people or regular people or whatever term, and it's like.
Speaker 2:I don't like it. It's terrible. All of your listeners, any of you, watch cable news, and I don't care if it's on the left or on the right. I actually watch both, and the amount of bias on both sides is insane.
Speaker 1:Let me interject just a second. This is why I push ground news all sides, because we want more fair. I mean, I lean into the center personally and I watch even both medias just to see what the bias is Was the left wing's bias, the right wing's bias and sometimes the center got its bias to the center. The main source I always cite is like News Nation, that's like the most center it's going to be, and of course you know the left CNN and the right is Fox News. There's many other examples, but I always push those news. There's many other examples, but I always push those, even the new paper, because you're more unbiased or at least get an aggregate source or a collection of it. Okay, 17 of the left is reporting this, only 40 of the center and another 40 some percent on the right. That's definitely not 100. I'm bad at math. I major in history, not a map, so deal with it. If you use the comment section just to express how much better you are me, me, on math, I'll be perfectly fine. You're not going to affect me emotionally. I'm just going to give you a thumbs up and say good for you. But all seriousness, this is why I do what I do Because, look, my logo is purple for a reason, left right even. Green rainbow, whatever the heck your color is. You're welcome to join this podcast.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to expose my voice to different points of view, different religions, different. All this is not. I hate safe space. We need to get rid of that. To me, I think it's anti-American. I know that's useful. Left and right got their own version of safe space as well.
Speaker 1:No, so that's all I'm going to say, just just, I think it was a perfect time. It was a little silent there. Normally I don't. I don't promote that right in the middle of the episode, but I just. This is why I promote the stuff that I do, because the bias, just like you said, it's ridiculous on both sides of that. I perfectly agree. You're not going to get an argument out of me on that one, but I'm just going to get a thumbs up for those of you who are listening to the audio. I'm giving two thumbs up to our guests here. You see, this is why I make sure to accept good guests like this one here. It's not butt kissing. I just know. I just know.
Speaker 1:My gut even told me even before I did the research and all that I said, oh yeah, I'll just do the research just to confirm. But all right, um, and yeah, this is why you need to look into more sources. You think cnn is going to help you, or fox news even sometimes I mean news station kind of does, but news station even got his mind because sometimes they focus on celebrity garbage and that doesn't necessarily help you either, and it's been. And I'm sad to say there's studies now confirming that if you pay attention to celebrity news, your IQ goes down. I didn't need a study to confirm that. I just talk to people every day, the ones who are obsessed with celebrities. They're not the brightest people, and I'm trying to be nice here, but I'm trying to, okay, calm down my neuroaggression. They're not the brightest people, they're not.
Speaker 1:But anyways, before I go on this long tangent, let me just just I want to derail this. So far, dr bob field's been on the amazing track. I had to want to derail that. I just almost did. Um, feel free to express that. It is a good thing or bad thing. You know, that's what the comment section is there for. I welcome, you know, welcome your opinion, whether you like me or not. So that's all I'm gonna say about that.
Speaker 1:But you said a lot of valuable stuff so it's so hard to question. You see, I do understand some of the trump thing. I do agree that the trade practices have been unfair. Um, social, free united states. You've always been overly generous, overly naive or just passive and weak on the trade. That's why I understand some of the nato stuff. I don't agree with dismantling nato but I do get where he's coming from there. That one always been pretty supportive of trump.
Speaker 1:But the tariff thing, I'm just personally I have not been a fan of it because I just think it was too aggressive, too overboard, too simplified. I know he had different percentages for different countries and different goods. I'm not going to get into that, I'll just find a massive link one day. You just want to read through his details. I don't know Canadian steel, I'm just going to make up a bad example 15%. I don't know Japanese food 30%. It's just made up, okay. And I'm not going to get into the whole nitty-gritty because, trust me, that will be a five-hour podcast and we will all fall asleep going through those details. Okay, we don't got that kind of attention span here. But I just say the tariff thing. But I don't know.
Speaker 1:There's some victories coming along, but I don't know how impactful it's going to be in what's going to be short-term or long-term. It Hackful is going to be in what's? Is it going to be short term or long term? You know it's too soon to say. If it's going to be positive, maybe there's methods to madness, maybe I'm naive, I don't know. Trump is a chaos. You know he. He's unpredictable. He's a wild card. On purpose, yeah, yeah, on purpose, yeah, I mean, if you know his background and he's been involved with wwe and entertainment, this is what they thrive on and the art of the deal. All this. This is.
Speaker 1:If you read some of this, you have some and I'm gonna have to say some understanding of trump's. You can say either genius or madness, whatever you want to call it. At least you have some idea. You ain't gonna reveal everything the chaos and all that's gonna still go. It's gonna, it's gonna throw you off even if you read that. But at least you have some idea. I mean you can predict some things correctly. It'll ease you just a bit.
Speaker 1:Not that I want to push this book, but I read some of this. You'll be an interesting president. For better or worse. I think you'll be a mixed bag. But whatever, enough of me bashing and praising Trump at the same time, because I'm not the biggest supporter, nor I am the biggest hater of trump. I see the good and the bad, you know, and so does the guess. Okay, and he's not pro or anti-chump and we shouldn't be any of those things. We should be pro-america, if anything.
Speaker 1:Forget the dems and the republicans, because you pick those camps, you lower your iq point by I'll say 30, because you just go their narrative, their bias, their point of view and listen. They both, they both are kooky, they both are crazy. All right, they, I will call them, even though the corporate, corrupt unit party corporations support both those parties. I think some things don't change. Doesn't matter who's in charge. It's not conspiracy theory. See who funds them. I put opensourcecom. See who funds the parties. Sometimes it's one, it's some megadons. That funds both parties. I think some agendas don't change. Okay, that's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 1:All right, I'm going to let you talk because hopefully you have an amazing streak here. I think I ruined it. Deal with it. This is your host here, okay, well, I, you, I could deal with the hate. I'll be happy. This is my own decision. I'll live with it. I own it and you could crucify me in the comment section. You two might cancel you, but not me. I believe in freedom of speech and then I'll put this on rumble, where you're not going to be canceled as much eventually.
Speaker 1:So the only question I got and you won't be the first to compare trump to this character I will call him a flawed good intention character and I'm sure he's gonna see us from my way. Cyrus to great. They compare trump to this guy. First of all, I'm going to be extra analytical, critical. Is that a correct, is that a good comparison? And then how? And then how is not a good comparison? I'm just trying to get a deeper understanding because I have heard other theologians say Trump is like Cyrus the Great. He does some flawed things but he has good intentions. There's some good and bad results that come out of him. You already talked about some of the policies, but people have been comparing him to Cyrus the Great, especially among certain church communities.
Speaker 2:Well, and the whole Cyrus thing. That actually came up when he was running the first time. An evangelical Protestant brought it up, but once he came in, actually over in Israel, the group called the Sanhedrin actually put out coins that had Donald Trump's head and Cyrus the Great on it, and a rabbi last week or the week before actually went out and again said why he thinks Trump is Cyrus the Great, and some Protestant writers have said the same thing. I don't know if you know, but actually the last YouTube video I made was is Donald Trump Cyrus the Great? So this is a topic I am familiar with. I can understand why people make some of the comparisons, comparisons but there's a few really different things. One, the bible doesn't say there's gonna be a second cyrus the great, but for specifically for cyrus the great, he was actually prophesied by name. Okay, so before he came in, uh, uh, he was prophesied that he was going to come and in the book of ezra said that, uh, cyrus the Great fulfilled various things that were predicted. This happened 2,400, 2,500 years ago. Now some, on the other hand, have taken this to another step and said well, trump is prophesied by name in the Bible, he is the Trump of God. That's really a stretch for lots of reasons. So I don't accept that. But the difference with Cyrus? Cyrus the Great told the children of Israel they go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, and so they did. He also went and he gave them the implements of the temple that the Persian Empire had. They'd gotten them because they invaded. They had it, so they let them go back and build that, and so those were. So, because Donald Trump is pro-Israel, people have said, well, he's not an Israelite, well, he's not a Jew. Let's just say that they consider him a Gentile and that he made this positive thing for them and that's a good thing. So Cyrus did something positive. So in that way, I suppose he's similar.
Speaker 2:Others have gone so far as to predict that when he was in office last time, that he was going to authorize which he can't really do the construction of a third temple in Jerusalem. Okay, oh yeah, there are predictions about that and people thought, because Trump came in, that they'll build a third temple in Jerusalem and that's not required by scripture. I know there's a bunch of Protestant prophecy watchers who think it's required. It's actually not required. But that gets back to the Cyrus the great thing.
Speaker 2:And as far as the Bible and this third temple kind of an idea, the Bible only requires that you have an altar to be able to do sacrifices. So what's that got to do with anything? In the book of Daniel, four places it talks about sacrifices being stopped and it's not referring to what happened when the temple got destroyed in 70 AD. It says it's for the appointed time of the end. And that wasn't the time of the end. That was the end of the old temple, but that isn't the time of the end. All right, so people know. Well then they've got to sacrifice. So they have to have a temple. No, all they need is an altar. And in the book of Ezra, chapter three, verse six, it specifically says that they sacrificed on an altar, but they hadn't built a new temple yet. They finally did, but they didn't have one then. So that's one thing people kind of get off.
Speaker 2:And also, when Trump technically does not run the nation of Israel, cyrus the Great did run ancient Israel. They were part of his empire. The United States has a lot of influence over Israel and you might make the argument. Reality was Cyrus could put in his troops there. Trump hasn't done that to Israel, and we don't anticipate him doing that. So there's several ways that he's different, and including the fact that he was not prophesied by name to rise up Now. That being said, the Bible says God puts in whoever he wants. Okay, so I think there are prophetic reasons that Donald Trump is in office, but not that he's Cyrus the Great.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a very well thought out explanation. I'm not surprised. I was gonna get something like that. That's why I asked it. You know I love what people give comparisons, but they try to mold that comparison, make it seem exactly the same. That's that bias. East president, united states is influenced, but cyrus actually did had, it's true. Is your part of empire that? That is a distinction that needs to be made and those times were different. I'm sure there's the look, there's some similarities, but you know, some people just forget the differences and just choose just to wash it out. So we should make the analogy fit perfectly in our official way. That's like trying to shove a circle to a square peg and just mold, use clay just to try to fill it up. It looks hideous and tacky. That's what they, some people, do with their knowledge. That's why I have to ask that. Um, it's not original, but I actually like the explanation to it because it's well thought out. You know, I like well thought out. You want some explanations, some of your audience. So you want abc expedition.
Speaker 1:Oh, donald trump is exactly like cyrus the great and wrong. Love the explanation. You. You just, I don't know, have a drink or something, I don't know, just don't listen to this podcast because I'll be happy to disappoint you. I'll actually take a great thrill of that, alright, and me, I said this is like the third theologian.
Speaker 1:I've heard that comparison and they say, yeah, he was flawed like Cyrus, he did some unintentional bad things, but yeah, he helped. Flawed like cyrus, he did some unintentional bad things, but yet he helped out the israelites. Yeah, yeah, see, I can see that similarity great influence, of course, except donald trump is not a emperor that's conquering multiple nations, and I'm sure if that was the case, the world and the un will be in the uproar. We already do some things in the UN that causes a major uproar. We don't have to think deep. There's the Israel and Iran conflict Things with Israel. That's already a major controversy.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to dig too deep into that because, for once, you know, look, I know some people's opinion of the whole genocide thing and all that, and I agree it is a genocide, of what's going on there, but at the same time, I don't want to condemn all the Israelites either. So that's the position I make. I think they all, they need to. You know they need to exist. They're God's children, you know, and you know it's, it's, it's tough, tough. I don't know what's the solution to that. I'm just a guy that's just yelling at the mic and at my computer screen. I don't know, but they, they're, they're human beings. That's just my. That's just my perspective. I'm not. Some people can say I'm left on that. But no, I'm not going to condemn all israeli, I condemn the government. I'll criticize the government, but not, not, not the people. Even the people protest against it. That's the nuanced perspective, you know. And, and israel has um arab citizens, you know, in their things. So are they all evil? No, it's just very.
Speaker 2:Yeah, feel free to chime in well, I was gonna say on the whole peace thing, you know, donald trump has made proposals called the abraham acc, and he may be involved and come up with a peace deal. The Bible actually prophesies that there's going to be a peace deal over there. Now, what's interesting is, while I rely on biblical prophecies, islamic prophecies say the same thing. Both biblical and Islamic prophecies, by the way, say there's going to be a seven-year deal between a European leader and a Muslim leader. Now, the Bible doesn't call him a Muslim leader. The Bible calls that person the king of the south. It tells us this includes Egypt, libya, north Africa Places are Muslim, okay, that are predominantly Muslim Islam, the followers of Islam. So that's something he may get involved in and he tried to do something before. I suspect, however, though, we may see Iran react against Israel before we see a deal like that, but there is a temporary peace deal that is prophesied. But getting back to prophecy, both the Bible, in the book of Daniel, chapter nine, and the Islamic prophecy says that the deal is going to be broken in the middle of it. So a European guy is going to confirm a deal it could be Donald Trump's deal, right, but the Bible just says there's somebody in Europe, who's not the top person, who's going to confirm a deal. Islamic prophecy says a European leader is going to make a deal and after three and a half years he's going to break the deal. And that's both in Islam and in the Old Testament, what we call the Old Testament of the Bible. So those are some things that could happen and so we could see a temporary peace deal in the Middle East. So that's something that may happen if Donald Trump may be involved with that.
Speaker 2:But one thing you had mentioned before in a previous segment I was going to comment on, and that is like 45 or 50 years ago I used to watch ABC, cbs, nbc News on a fairly regular basis. Right One day we had a couple of TVs. My roommate had an extra TV and I noticed that almost all the same stories were on all three of those networks and I thought that's a strange coincidence. I mean, there were some stories that were all very, very similar and you mentioned the difference between Fox and CNN and there's other ones. You know MSNBC, newsmax, whatever, oan News and whatever.
Speaker 2:But what I actually do in the morning, in the typical morning, by 6 am California time I've actually scanned 300 or so headlines every day. And then I make three posts a day, by the way, at the cogridercom website. And the reason I'm bringing this out not a shameless plug, but this will be a shameless plug C-O-G-W-R-I-T-E-R-I-C-O-M. But no, the reason I'm bringing it up is, like this morning on the regular news sources it didn't tell you much about the fact that Russia has now claimed it's now total control of an area called Luhansk. But it wasn't really covered and it may be on some other news. But because I looked at hundreds, I saw two places that mentioned it and so I wrote about it this morning.
Speaker 2:Because that's the only thing that we see is there's an information overload and some places we only want to cover these stories, or we only want to cover, if it looks this way, story. Fortunately the Internet isn't totally censored yet. They're working on it, by the way. They want to do it. By the way, just as a warning, I believe the Bible prophesies control over the Internet in a couple of different places, both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Both places You're going to have a problem with information. The Bible actually prophesies knowledge will be increased in the end times. That's happening. But it also says we're going to see a famine of the word, which I think is going to be censorship. You've got the issue now with the news One. They can only cover so much.
Speaker 2:Two, I haven't seen any news network that's not biased. Now, I'm like you. I also do watch News Nation. Last I watched NewsNation was last night. I haven't watched it today yet. It's a little too early for me here, but the hosts are definitely biased.
Speaker 2:And I'll pick on one. For no good reason, chris Cuomo tries to pretend he's not biased and he's not as biased as he used to be, but he still is. And lately I can't remember his last name he gives it a V. He tries not to be biased, but he's definitely biased on the right, whereas Cuomo is still biased on the left. But at least those guys are making an effort, whereas you watch MSNBC or Newsmax. We'll just use those two. There's not much of an effort usually, but anyway. Getting back to prophecies and such, you know Donald Trump. The other thing he's doing is he's showing the Europeans, by the way, what happens when you have we'll call him a strongman type leader. I know some people say Trump is a phony and all this kind of stuff and I assume you're familiar with the term taco.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I'm very familiar. Yeah, on the recent context.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's recent context.
Speaker 1:It's not taco food people, no, not taco food.
Speaker 2:Taco stands for Trump always chickens out. Now that was somebody from the left saying that Now he just bombed Iran, which suggested that he didn't always chicken out. He had Israel bomb Iran before that, which suggests the same thing. I'm not commenting about that. But my point was Trump didn't chicken out.
Speaker 2:Europeans are seeing this and they've got—you think the United States is bureaucratic? Europe's got it worse. And there's a biblical prophecy in the book of revelation, chapter 17, verses 12 and 13, that says essentially, europe is going to reorganize now. Right now, you got 27 countries in the eu 28 or so but are close. There's another half a dozen or so want to get in and the bible says you risk your reorganization there into 10. Okay, so they want to manage that. But then it says those 10, we don't know if they plan it early or it's too difficult to work with the other nine they decide to give their power to that guy. I told you about the ones. The beast arises from the sea, and you can read that in Revelation 17, 13.
Speaker 2:And I suspect that one of the unintended consequences of Donald Trump trying to act like a strong man is the Europeans are going to say you know, we didn't like Donald Trump for this, this, this, this and this, but he got some stuff done. Okay, we don't want somebody like Trump, but we kind of want a strong leader and that's in the prophet. You know, that's prophesied and you know I'm not blaming the president for being what he is. I wish he wouldn't exaggerate, like, for example, when he talked about the US bombing of the nuclear facilities and he said it was totally obliterated, everything. I didn't believe him. I believe that's what he hoped, but I said how do you know? Stuff's underground? It's going to take time and even then the United States isn't over there. How do we know? And again, I don't think it was totally obliterated. I wish he would not have said that. And also, according to a report I read, the Iranians got rid of their enriched uranium before it happened, so they still have it. So, while I do think it had an effect, I wish the president would be more precise in his terms and not exaggerate.
Speaker 2:I think that causes people on the middle and the right to not trust him and those on the left to say, look, you can't trust him. I hate to say this. I knew it was Trump being Trump, but that's really not acceptable. It doesn't matter who he is, who you are you're supposed to tell the truth. But the other thing that he's doing by making some of the comments and one of the things he said is look, I want to deal with this European nation and that one. I don't want you to deal with all you together. What he's doing is he's bringing them closer together because they've got a rule in Europe, by the way, on trade. All the same, you can't play this game because they know what would happen. So the more he does that, the more he's bringing them together.
Speaker 2:Now, donald Trump is unique among world leaders. He was the most well-known world leader who opposed the UK staying in the European Union. He was the biggest voice telling the UK to get out. Who was not in the UK? There were other voices, but nobody with the influence of Trump, because Trump would like to see Europe break up into 20, some other different countries. I'll deal with you. I'll deal with you. I'll deal with you because I'm way bigger than you guys, but actually together we're not. The United States is not. But doing what he's doing, I think he is bringing them closer together unity-wise.
Speaker 2:And that's another unintended consequence. And I mentioned about debt. One thing I neglected to say there's a prophecy from the book of Habakkuk that's an Old Testament, hebrew prophet 2,600 years ago. That war is about a highly indebted nation, one who loads up pledges, treasury bills in modern terms, I would think and at some point in time, that's not going to work and that's going to lead to destruction. And so that's something that, again, I mentioned before. This Trump administration, the prior Trump administration, the Biden administration, the Obama administration, the previous Bush administration they're all accelerating the debt. Biblically, I think that's a mistake.
Speaker 2:I studied economics too, by the way. I've got a bunch of classes I took in economics. This debt thing is going to be a problem. It's more of a problem than most people think.
Speaker 2:Matter of fact, in the book Habakkuk, god actually says that when you read this, you're going to have to run. He says, even though it's going to take a while, it's going to happen. And it's going to take a while, it's going to happen and it's going to really, really be bad. And so that's one of the warnings that we've been giving out for quite a few years, because this is not a good thing. And since you said I could do this shameless plug, I'm going to talk about it again in this particular book, which is available at Amazon and, by the way, it's got lots of scriptures, a lot of news references. Okay, let's see I have let me look in the back here Not counting scriptures 200, over 300 references, not counting scriptures in this and not counting various other prophecies from other religions, because a lot of them tie in for different reasons. So I talked about some of those in there as well.
Speaker 1:All right, let me talk to the more secular heathens. There you go. He halfway appeased you with news references. So, angels is, look, it does have a lot of biblical time. Of course You're a theologian. What are you expecting? That's like trying to ride a bike. They expect to move without wheels.
Speaker 2:Well, again, people don't have to agree with my conclusions. I put out information, I quote a lot and it was actually funny During COVID I got something removed from Facebook. It was like a three-page. This was about three pages with 35 references and my question was what did I say? That was wrong. Everything I said was scientifically correct.
Speaker 2:By the way, I'm also a published scientist. You can go to the National Institute of Health Medical Database type in my last name, t-h-i-e-l, and find papers I've written on natural vitamins, down syndrome, epilepsy, various things. So, look, I'm a scientist, I know how to write scientific papers, I understand science. But we were edited, censored, by people who had an agenda and what the agenda was not to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So again, I understand people don't agree with my opinions, but again, when we bring up facts, you can agree on the fact. You may disagree what it means, and so one of the things I go in a book are those kinds of things and, as I said in my previous Trump book, that first administration 22 things to 24 actually, depending on how you count them. I started lined up with it in the current one at least 14 so far, and the book's only been out since January 16th of this year.
Speaker 1:So far the prediction has a great track record. There's more correct predictions that come confirmations. You know some of these take longer. I want to say look, you see, he's not just a theologian, he's an economist, scientist. He has worldly expertise, just to put it that way, especially for you secular people, the heathens I still love you though You're a heathen. Though love you, don't worry, I ain't perfect either. I've done heathenistic things, especially when I swear. But I want to behave in front of this theologian.
Speaker 1:Here you have the old, especially the older episodes where I went off the tangent. So you want that more controversial stuff. You go to all the older episodes. But he, I mean you already said so much. Just one more thing I want to say um, I want you to have your chance to talk about the growth of technologies. You know, through your library, and I'm going to promise you that. I mean you already gave me so much value. I mean I might as well just give a little something that was idea that you put out. You know I might use a guest given idea, but I like it.
Speaker 2:It's actually refreshing to me so feel free to go through that In terms of growth technology. I remember growing up my father, as a part-time thing, would do people's taxes and he got a calculator. Now it's not like modern people. You have to move your arm back and forth, so he would have me do it by hand. While he was doing it I was actually faster than the calculator. But I was one of the first people who did get a calculator. An electronic calculator allowed to use it. In my geometry class I think I was the only kid who had one, and so I got involved with technology that way.
Speaker 2:Then, when I was in the military, I actually used what's called a key punch machine. I don't know if your listeners know what a key punch machine even is, but it made a. There'd be a card that looked kind of like this big, it would put holes in it. You could only do 80 characters, and so I keyed that in. This is before they had terminals. Like you can see, this is before then. Then we've got the terminals.
Speaker 2:Then I have a master's from USC and I was in one of their computer buildings. Now I'm going back to over 40, almost 45 years ago Now. That building in modern times would have cost probably $10 million, $10 million. And what it did is it housed hard drives. Now, a hard drive we're talking about it's about the size of a two-drawer filing cabinet, okay, and each of those held 50 megabytes of data, and they had to cool it because those hard drives are thrown off heat, so you got a big energy cost and all this kind of stuff. Right, I just pulled this out. This holds more than that, building Probably times I don't know a factor of 10 or 100.
Speaker 2:In terms of growth of technology, now, technology can be used for good. It can be used for evil. Now, one of the things that I think is evil, by the way, is I posted something yesterday at the Congregator website and there's a company called Oracle Labs and they've got a computer now that uses human brain cells. In Switzerland last year, they came up with this stuff. They actually are using human brain cells and I think that's wrong. They've gone to where they should not go In terms of technology and where it's heading.
Speaker 2:Talk about AI for just a moment or two. My son has a website called fastestsearchcom Over there. The reason I mention it is because it's free. It's got like six or seven, maybe eight, ai programs and actually I accessed many of them today and it's interesting. Because of my academic background, I know when I get wrong answers number one and two don't just use one if you're doing research. I was on one today and I got totally different answers from six or seven AI programs, and so I will use it. But also when they tell me that some document says something, I've learned, I have to look that document up because most of the time it does not exist or it's wrong, and AI actually apologized to me and says I was correct. But that doesn't help me. I wasted my time and I didn't get what I wanted. So that's one concern about AI. But another concern, getting to prophecy and this is the last prophecy I plan on talking about here and this is the last prophecy I plan on talking about here.
Speaker 2:In the book of Revelation, in chapter 13, verses 15 through 18, the apostle John wrote down that you're not going to be able to buy and sell unless you have the mark of the beast. The number is named number 666. Well, when the apostle John wrote that nearly 2,000 years ago, that wasn't possible. Okay, let's say you and I wanted to buy or sell. Okay, you want to sell me a chicken. Okay. Well, what do we do If the government's bothering us? We go in the field, we go in the woods. I give you a copper coin or silver coin I don't know how much a chicken was worth back then. You give me a chicken, I get to eat, you get the money. So when John was inspired to write this down, that type of technology did not exist. He also warned about a 200 million man army in the book of Revelation. There weren't 200 million men on the earth at the time. He wrote that down.
Speaker 2:Okay, so for prophecy doubters tying it into technology now we do have the technology as we get more and more toward digital currencies. Look in the United States. You realize we used to have million dollar bills, million dollar bills and $10,000 bills and all that. Now the only thing we just got is 100. And a $100 bill buys what a dollar did 110 years ago, 120 years, something like that. So they're moving more and more toward having to be digital, because I realize $100 is still a fair amount of money. All right, don't get me wrong. But with inflation and everything else, the US is moving in this direction. In Europe they're heavily.
Speaker 2:My wife and I went to Sweden before I was before covet and we went to that. My wife wanted to go to this one museum and this museum said they dream of a world with only digital currency. Of some reason they think that's going to prevent crime. Uh, and it's supposedly good for you. But that means every time you buy anything, the government sees what you're doing. That means every time you buy anything, the government sees what you're doing. That's the same thing that they're going to do with the internet. Is it Texas? I think the Supreme Court just ruled that it was okay Texas or Florida to validate if somebody is over 18 in order to go to a porn site. Now, I don't go to porn sites and I realize why there should be restrictions, but this is a first step toward you can't go on the internet without an ID. When my wife and I were in Italy 10, 15 years ago, when we went to an internet cafe, you had to show your ID and they wrote to you. So they knew.
Speaker 2:I've never actually been to Russia, but I've been in a Moscow airport twice and with a long connection, like seven or nine hours, some horrible thing, right? So I'm going to go on the internet, right? Uh-uh, can't go on the internet unless you use a cell phone and they give you a code. Now, the first time I was in Moscow airport I didn't have. Actually, both times I didn't own a cell phone at the time. So one woman felt sorry for me at a restaurant. She was a waitress. She let me get in. Then somebody else from another country did it for me as well. But that's actually why I actually have a cell phone, because I don't use them except for WhatsApp or whatever.
Speaker 2:But sometimes you have to have them, uh, for verification purposes now, and so more and more in terms of technology and prophecy, we're seeing these things enmesh. I mentioned that daniel prophesied that knowledge would be increased. Can't have that the internet. John wrote down that they can control buying and selling, and we're now to that point and we weren't to that point 100 years ago. Okay, at least for, uh, controlling all that stuff. So that's one of the reasons why I find the prophecies accurate, but it doesn't mean that people have misinterpreted them, just like the Cyrus, the Great stuff and all that kind of stuff. No-transcript, and I probably I'm sure I'll make some mistakes too. Ok, so, but anyway, that's what I want to talk about with technology, just briefly.
Speaker 1:All right, let me go aggravate the comment people even more. The commenters. I'm not expecting to apologize for anybody else. Everybody's responsible for their own predictions, comments or any of that. Bob is accountable to Bob, elias is accountable to Elias. Ok, not me being accountable to bob, or vice versa. Okay, that's crazy. We're supposed to be adults here, okay, none of this.
Speaker 1:Children, shenanigans and all that, even though you know the government is increasingly getting controlling and all that. You're gonna be watched like old children, young children, underdeveloped children, and well, you know my opinion on that. I mean, mean, I'm against it, but it's heading towards that direction anyway. So it's our increasing reliance on these smartphones and internet and all that. It is inevitable, I mean. And the little prophecies, I say they always right. I just think we, the people, sometimes misinterpret them because of our cultural or personal bias or I don't know.
Speaker 1:Whatever mainstream media tells us people, or social media that's another brainwashing source as well. You know, we get influenced by that as well. You know the doom scrolling, or for the more, you know, people obsess people. They call it channel surfing, you know just, but I'm gonna call it channel channeling doom. There you go. That's a new term, that's a coin term. There you go and if you take that, I'm gonna copyright, I'm gonna sue you. No, I'm kidding, you could take it, I don't really care.
Speaker 1:You know, channeling doom for those who are still obsessed with cable. Bring out doom scroll for social media folks. So why is it? Because a lot of the content in there is junk. There's a lot of bad knowledge, let's be real and we're getting stuffed with it. Even me, you know. I use well my primitive um cable. So that's like smart tv cable and the social media to see what the heck is going on. I think we should be informed, but we shouldn't be so obsessed and absorb all of this. Um, I'm gonna be honest gunk junk. So a lot of this junk out there and we gotta be more mindful about how we consume it. That's why I'm pro digital detox. I thought it was silly but actually has some not surprising positive benefits. Um, the brain's aging is restored. That's good. You know, that's what I'm gonna say. Um, before I keep on rambling, rambling, rambling, let's reread.
Speaker 1:Gave them a ton of value audience. I hope you gain some value out of this the news people, the tech people and, most importantly, the spiritual people. I'll be getting some value out of this because he actually kind of that kind of he actually meshed three of the main topics I cover. That's why I encourage us about the growth of technology. And he said it was optional, but I didn't mind it.
Speaker 1:It'll make my podcast a bit different Because, trust me, he's on a tour, okay, and I got to make mine different. That's my only concern. I got to make mine at least a little different. Yeah, I'm sure my personality, my question, could do that, but even content wise. So that's why I like to kind of stand out and I've ended up not being unique. Well, I can't predict what's gonna go on 10 years later. Maybe I'll be the new normal, but as of now, I'm the proud black sheep and I I like that. God made everybody different. Okay, that's, that's what I'm going to say about that. So let's do the well actually, before we do the shameless plug-in, even the irrelevant stuff, anything else you want to add before we wrap this up.
Speaker 2:Well, I wasn't going to mention Scripture, but there's one more Apostle, paul wrote about knowledge, falsely called to Timothy, and so that's a situation that you've got to be careful for now, but it's always been a problem. I mean, that's why Pilate said to Jesus what is truth? It's always been a problem. But now, with social media and with the internet, things can get blown out of proportion and people convince themselves of things they don't want to and people go into their own echo chambers a lot. Anyway, I don't apologize. In fact, I believe in scripture. I do believe biblical prophecies are coming to pass. And, um, as a shameless plug, yeah, I mentioned it and you know, this particular book is the one that I was talking about today, because a lot of what's in here has been happening, a lot of things are going to happen that I think people need to know. So, anyway, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1:Well, probably, let's do another plug. In the first book you wrote what was that title called? Let's link that in as well.
Speaker 2:This is more for the hardcore people. Donald Trump and America's Apocalypse. That was the first one about Trump, but no, I've written like 30 books. Okay, I actually have one out on the new Pope, pope Leo. That came out within hours of him going into office and so far he's fulfilled at least one thing that I haven't had in that book on opposing Trump, I think on immigration, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1:I mean he's definitely more I mean, but he's I would say he's restoring some conservative tradition in terms of marriage between men and women, based on his opinion decree, whatever you want to call it, feel free to request me there.
Speaker 2:He's less offensive to the average Roman Catholic than Pope Francis was.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, absolutely. And you, you know he wasn't. No, he, he's. I'm wrong, I think, yeah, I think he, he, he did attend, um, the republican national conventions. He's a, I'll say for the republican.
Speaker 1:Oh hey, now all republicans support trump. You know, I don't have to say no as a democrat and all that. No, you'd be surprised. There there are anti trump republics. I mean, one reoccurring guest I got is a Democrat and all that. No, you'd be surprised. There are anti-Trump Republicans. I mean, one reoccurring guess I got is a really anti Trump Republican. That's why you can't always put people in boxes. You'd be surprised. You'd be surprised. You'd just say, oh, he's not real conservative, he's ruling the Republican Party. But I'm not going to plug in that guess too much.
Speaker 1:But I'm going to link those two books in there. Well, I'm going to put more of the unintended consequences, but if you want to be hardcore, dig deeper to it, get the other book as well. Especially if you want to scrutinize the Bob feel here, be obsessed, challenge him, whatever. And if you want him back, say so. I don't mind it. I mean, I already have one idea. Let's dig deeper to the Pope's.
Speaker 1:I haven't talked about the Pope, so that could be something new. He does affect the world stage. Why not? Why not First American Pope at that? So he made history on that. I didn't think American Pope was going to be elected in my lifetime. To be honest, I really didn't think so. So I was actually a bit surprised. I thought it was going to be someone from another nation. I don't mind it, but I'm just shocked that it came this quickly, not complaining so far.
Speaker 1:And oh, not just the books. I'm going to link to his site. He references a couple of times COG Writer. That's going to be in there, right? That's going to be in there right now and not right now in the description. Now I can't talk. Why is my brain going mush? It's going to stay in there. It's going to stay in the recording. I'm imperfect, deal with it. And his social media is going to be all that's going to be listed in the description the social media. So if you want to follow him his posts, be happy, be mad or be in between.
Speaker 1:I don't know what that feeling is, maybe be bipolar. You like him one day, you hate him another. I'm sure he's your welcome and he's a very accomplished man. I'm sure he doesn't need your approval. I could say that I'm not going to rub you out of the wrong way because you think the world revolves around you. No, no, no, no, no, it doesn't, it doesn't. But feel free to express your opinion, I don't discourage that.
Speaker 1:You think he's great? At least list one reason why, not just he's great. I ignore those. Or if you don't like him, you think he's kooky, crazy. That's one reason why, and the same thing with your host too. Same thing with your hosts. They'll just say you bad, you're stupid, well, you're awesome, you're the next coming to jesus christ. I'm gonna ignore those comments. That doesn't mean anything to me and that's blasphemous to say I'm the next coming jesus. I will reject that compliment in an instant.
Speaker 1:That is rabin reserved to a certain someone, and this is by. This is bible one-on-one. You, unless you're trying to stir controversy. All right, oh, enough of that yammering, all of that. His books, websites, social medias is going to be listed in the description.
Speaker 1:Now for my somewhat lengthy, shameless plug-in bligley itech follow on youtube, twitter I refuse to call it x, bad branding, x. I think of so many things, but not social media accounts, rumble and what's the other one? Why do I forget? Yeah, rumble, twitter, facebook, those, those are four I have and give a like, share, subscribe, and I already butchered you with the comment section. Feel free to express your opinion in there. Youtube might censor you. I don't okay. Youtube has a strict policy that Rumble when it gets uploaded to Rumble eventually.
Speaker 1:Feel free to express your craziness. If you get humiliated by the public square, that's on you. Just know that risk might happen and I will not protect you because I don't believe in this safe space thing. It's not a left-wing thing. Also, the right-wing got their own slick version of that as well. So if you're using anti-Semitism, just try to shut down anybody who is, I'll say, critical of Israel. That's their version of being woke.
Speaker 1:In my opinion, I might rub some of y'all the wrong way. Oh well, I don't believe in safe space and echo chambers. Nope, nope. This is why I think I have a pretty rational point of view, centrist point of view, because I don't believe in that. I joined one camp before I joined the other camp. They both kooky, they both crazy, they both corrupt. Okay, that's why I've learned, that's why I'm registered. I independent. I don't believe in that, ok, so oh, and then one more thing for the, for the audio people.
Speaker 1:Give a review. If you want to give a review, give it on Apple podcast, that's one of the ones I pay attention to. Spotify, I don't care for it. Give a five star if you want. Give what you know. Give your opinion of show what's doing great. And if you're more critical, what can I improve on? All right that I want to see those kind of comments. I don't need perfection. Perfection is false, perfection is impossible. Okay, that's what I'm going to say. Finally, I can wrap this up. So once you go through this audio or visual journey, have a blessed day, afternoon or night.
