Starting point is 00:00:00 Folks, welcome to the Eric Mataxis show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. You checked your bucket list lately? Are you ready to take care of item number seven? Listening to the Eric Metaxe show? Well, welcome.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Tune in and then move on to item number eight, skydiving with Chuck Schumer and AOC. Here now is Mr. Completed Myleseck. bucket list at age 12, Eric Mattaxas. Ladies and gentlemen, I have an awkward announcement. First of all, there's nothing awkward about having my friend Albin Seder in the studio. I salute you, Eric. Albin, you, you, there's a lot to talk about here, but you reviewed my book, Religionless Christianity. I did.
Starting point is 00:01:07 At American thinker. At American thinker. Okay. And then you told me that you had a twin brother. Of course. And that your twin brother was also going to review my book, Religinalist Christianity. Yes. And folks, just to show you the power of DNA, both reviews, word for word, the same thing.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Unbelievable. And they didn't even know that the other guy was writing it. That's insane. I didn't even know I had a twin. I think we need to actually, I'm kidding about that part. but it is totally true that you reviewed my book, Religious Christianity, and your twin brother, Tony, whom I've met, who doesn't really look that much like you,
Starting point is 00:01:48 he also did a review of religionless Christianity. And I'm not kidding, folks. I said this in my email. If you get my email, go to Ericmetaxis.com. But I actually said it was the best review of my book thus far, because it absolutely beautifully captures the book, which a lot of times reviews don't do. So, Albin, would this be a good time to see how much your twin brother looks like you?
Starting point is 00:02:15 We should. And by the way, my twin brother's review, it was at the Washington Times. So we covered all the scales. My twin brother, let's bring him on, I guess. Now he looks something like you, just to be clear, not exactly, but close enough. All right, here we go. Let's see him. Tony, welcome aboard.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Yeah. And can I just explain. What the? Holy cow. You know, you look so much like Albin. I'm not kidding. you could be his twin. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. Can I explain that we are the poor man. My twin brother, let me just mention this. We are the poor man's Benham brothers. Yes. If you can't afford
Starting point is 00:02:49 the Benham brothers, the Sadar brothers will do in a pinch. In a pinch. If God has not been kind to you financially, maybe you could afford the Sadar twins. Come on. Tony, seriously, welcome back. It's great to see you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah, I wanted to mention first off on reviewing a book. I didn't review it because you're Eric with access necessarily because people have asked me to review books. Can you look at the camera? Can you look at the camera? I know you're not a professional like Albin. Look at the camera because we want to see your highly albin-like face. So say what you were just saying again because this is true. And I want people to understand. So say it again. Sorry, go ahead. Well, yeah, I reviewed a book on my own. People have asked me review books. I don't do it
Starting point is 00:03:35 that way. What I do is I select books I think I'd be interested in and that the Washington Times would be interested in. They have to prove ahead of time, yeah, go ahead and review that. And I've done many, many books. I have a really interesting one coming up here in a couple weeks on more on my topic, which is on climate change. But your book, I had reviewed, I think, your earlier one letter to the American Church. And I thought, well, this would be interesting to look at this follow-up to your book. And so that's it. Again, my twin brother didn't ask me to do it.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I just review books independently. The thing is that, you know, before we get serious, I have to say that, you know, you and Albin are so much alike. Obviously, one of you is redundant. Yeah. I don't know which one it is. And I'm going to look into it. I got staff looking into it right now.
Starting point is 00:04:26 But one of you is redundant. It's him. And when we find out, we're going to let the audience know. Well, let me put it this way. I think it's obvious. It's me. And I'll tell you, because I'm the older twin, and I wrote the book obvious. But other than that, I'm the older.
Starting point is 00:04:40 So you wrote the book obvious. That's right. I wrote the book, Religinalist Christianity. And my twin brother. He wrote, in global warming, we trust, too big to fail. That's right. So we're all authors here. In global warming.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And another, I wrote another academic book, too. You did? Yeah. All right. So now, I want to say, I mean, ostensibly. the subject of this segment, other than the big reveal of Albans' twin, was to talk about my book Religion and Christianity, because I was not kidding when I said that for some reason, Tony, your review was, it captured my book very, very effectively. And I was so impressed by that. I said, I want to
Starting point is 00:05:24 have you on to talk about it. Because, look, we can joke around. But unfortunately, what I write about in the book is extremely serious. It's extremely serious. It's extremely. extremely serious. And so I want to, I want to thank you for appreciating the seriousness, the import of the moment in which we find ourselves. Yes, absolutely. Yes. And I, yeah, as I went through it, what I normally do, too, is on my reviews, is to take, you know, essential quotes from the authors to incorporate them so people get, you know, not just my opinion on it, but to see where you're coming from, from your, from your own words. And yes, this is exceptionally, exceptionally important topic. It's a sad time that we find ourselves in. And I do think that
Starting point is 00:06:09 number one reason is because Christians, Christians have dropped the ball. Yes. I'm sorry, what? No, I heard that. I was kidding. I was kidding. I tease. I tease. You know what? You know what I noticed, Albin, about you and Tony? Yeah. And this is true. Even though you guys are like literally the same age, you know, down to the minutes. Like Tony seems like the older twin. Has you ever gotten that before? Well, I know. Well, yes and no.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Well, when I say older, I don't mean older. I don't mean he looks older. I just mean, but there's a little bit of sobriety that makes him seem like he's a year older. He's two years older. He's in the field of science and all that. So, you know, when you're in the field of science, you got to, you know. There's no joking about that, man. No, no.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Follow the science. and Sefalchi and all those guys. Yeah. There's nothing to fucking better. How do your reviews of my book differ? I don't know which one of you wants to answer that. I feel like I'm interviewing John Sheaver and John Updike. How do you, how do your reviews?
Starting point is 00:07:11 Seriously, folks. Yeah, Anthony, you might go first on that? Well, the thing is, I don't recall what you said in your review. Frequently, when I do, when I do reviews also, I don't read other people's reviews because I don't want to influence my own review. So, I mean, I might read things on the back, you know, the teasers on the back of the book and such. But typically, now with Elbin's review, yeah, I probably read it. I honestly don't remember what he said about it.
Starting point is 00:07:40 It was in American Thinker. Unmemorable. But that had nothing to, again, it had nothing to do with my own review. Of course, Elbe and I probably think alike. So there's probably some similarities. Well, you certainly dress alike. It's really embarrassing. As your mother, you know, it's kind of like one of these things with it.
Starting point is 00:07:56 She's dressing us alike, and they call us the twins, and people don't know which one. And I feel today like that's exactly, I'm interviewing the twins. The twins, you know, were you as kids referred to as the twins, like the twins? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I would say. So the twins are going to come along today or the twins are here. I mean, inside the inner circle, which is our family, yes. Outside, probably not so much, right?
Starting point is 00:08:21 How many twins are there? In our family. That's about it. In fact, I was hoping that Anthony... Well, how many? How many? Yeah. How many?
Starting point is 00:08:31 We're not mathematicians. At least I'm not. So there's just two of you? I want to be very... I want to be mathematically precise. So there's just the two of you? Yeah. Well, it...
Starting point is 00:08:40 Because some families have three twins. Yeah. I don't know if you knew that. Yeah. Are our relatives? Are they twins, a boy and a girl? No, no. How many twins are you're in your immediate family?
Starting point is 00:08:52 Just in the immediate being interviewed right now. I'm just going to say the one. So just the two of you? Yeah, just the two of us. But you were talking about the difference in our reviews, and I think I might have a few more quotes from Eric, and it's funny because I have more of an inner understanding of Eric because being associated with him for at least six years or so.
Starting point is 00:09:12 But the number one thing I wanted to pull out from my review, which it always sticks out from your book, is that when Niemaller went to Hitler and said, you're going to leave the Jews alone, right? You're going to leave the Christians alone. This is before Hitler took office about three months before. He said, oh, sure, you just, that's fine, that's fine. Then about three or four months after office, when he started rounding up Jews and telling the Christians to cut it out,
Starting point is 00:09:35 Niemaller comes back and says, Hitler, what'd you do? I thought you said, you're going to leave him alone. He said, he said, you just go and preach your sermons. You worry about your sermons. In other words, shut up. You've got no say in the third Reich. And the number one thing was Niemala realized, oh, no, Hitler simply lied to me.
Starting point is 00:09:54 And I'm thinking that's when the Democrats today are saying like, oh, we got the border secure. Oh, we're not that. Futsin with your kids. One plus one equals three. We've always known that. Yeah, come on. All right. When we come back, I think I'd like to continue the conversation.
Starting point is 00:10:08 But it's very confusing. I just want to be clear. I'm seeing double. I'll be right back.

Starting point is 00:12:24 I also consider him a friend. I'm thrilled. he has a new book out. I love it when people that I admire and like write a book because I want to be able to communicate what it is I love about them. And how can I do that? I can have them on my program, but you can read the book.
Starting point is 00:12:43 You can find out who my guest, John Amanchukwu, really is. John Amanchukwu, my friend, welcome. Thank you so much, Eric, for having me on your show. The song says, I'm so excited. I just can't hide it. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know you want one.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Go to the coffee. That's correct. The book is hoodwinked. Now listen, there's so much, you and I've got to know each other. In case people don't know, you're a prominently featured in the film letter to the American church. We've gotten to know each other. We knew each other before that.
Starting point is 00:13:20 But you're a truth teller. And you're also extremely bold. Bold, wonderfully bold. So I want your story briefly before we get into the book. The book is hoodwinked. I want to talk about that. That's why we're here. But tell my audience just briefly, you know, where you grew up, how you got to be the man you are today doing what you do.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I've lived primarily in Raleigh, North Carolina for the past 39 years. My mother moved us to Raleigh, North Carolina. when I was at the age of three or four, she had $100 to her name, taking care of four children. We were on welfare. We were in poverty. We lived in the shelter for nearly a year.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And just to see what God has done with my life, just coming from the bottom is just a testament to much of what is in my book as relates to the 10 lies that Americans believe. Over the past two years, I have traveled the nation speaking out at school board meetings. My first address to a school board was in Chatham County, North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:14:29 It was a young girl there that was being demonized by her teacher. Her teacher told her that believing in Jesus was tantamount to believing in a brick wall. And because of that, that young girl did not want to go back to school. And she even started to question her faith. And when I caught wind of that, I knew that I had to do something. I'm a former Division I football player at the Density State, so I'm a defensive guy. And so I'm ready to pounce on the quarterback at any moment. And the quarterback that is really destroying many of our schools and our children today is really Satan because he is the author of confusion.
Starting point is 00:15:09 And confusion does not come from the Bible. That's not come from God. It's not come from truth. But confusion comes from Satan. It is of the devil. And so I went to that school board meeting, made my address, and I didn't know that that message would go viral and they'll land me as the number one voice speaking out nationally at school board meetings. I've been able to amass over 300 million views. I've been able to flip two school boards, one in Pennsylvania and one in New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I've been able to strike down a transgender policy in New Jersey. I've also been able to remove dozens, I mean dozens of pornographic books all around this country. And I'm going to 12 more states to speak out this year. I've already been to 14 states in total. And so I'm on a mission. I'm on a movement. But I'm not leading a quote unquote pro black movement or simply a pro-Christian movement. I'm leading a movement that's for the betterment of all mankind.
Starting point is 00:16:15 The work that I'm doing is for black children, white children, Asian children, Hispanics, Indians, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, for everyone. And so, Eric, I'm just thankful that God has put me on mission and allowed me to help be the hands and feet of Jesus to help out so many children nationwide. Well, I hope people who are listening remember you. They've probably seen you on social media speaking at school board meetings. And what I notice about you, John, and again, the brand new book is called Hoodwinked, 10 lies Americans believe in the truth that will set them free. But if people know you, they realize that you're very bold. And what's interesting to me, this has become an issue for me.
Starting point is 00:16:55 As you know, I have a new book out called Religionist Christianity. What I'm talking about in that book is the religiosity that has, it's a counterfeit of Christian faith. and people are very polite, they don't want conflict. And what you're doing really enrages religious people in the negative sense of religious, because you're reading at school board meetings, you're reading the text of books in children's libraries. And the text is filthy, and you're using the filthy words to make the point that this is available to your children. And people are more offended by you speaking those words than they are by the idea that their children, are being propagandized with this kind of material.
Starting point is 00:17:42 So you're a bold warrior for Christ. I praise God for you. I want to talk to you, John, about your book, Hoodwinked. When did the book come out? The book releases today on May 28th. So this is the big moment. It's the big hour. That's why I'm so excited.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I just can't hide it here. You know, I'm pitching myself over here that God is to take a young man from utter poverty. destined for ruins. You know, I didn't have a easy childhood coming up, but he's blessed me now to author two books and I have a kid's book coming out at August. And so I'm just thankful for all that he's doing. So yes, the name of the book is Hood Winked,
Starting point is 00:18:25 and it releases today. So why is the title Hood Winked? All right. So the title Hood Winked is an antiquated, old-foking term. I heard you talk about the title of your new book, religious Christianity. And so you said a similar thing.
Starting point is 00:18:43 And I thought the same way about my book, like, okay, the title wasn't sexy, but there's a lot of truth to the book. Hoodwink by definition means to be beyond blindfolded. It means to have a hood over your head to the point that you can't see any light. It also means to have a delusion. And a delusion seeps in when a. person rejects reality, regardless of evidence, regardless of what they see, regardless of what is factual and what is normative, this individual chooses to just believe the big lie. That is the hood.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And so hoodwink is formulated to just pluck some hoods off of the heads of American people, especially as we approach the upcoming election. I deal with 10 lies in this book, and the first lie, the first hood that needs to be removed is that America is a racist nation. I made a statement recently on social media, and people were calling me a coon for saying it, and I didn't care. I knew that people would get angry by this statement, but I said it anyway because it's true, you know, and truth is a train wreck. And the statement was this, that white Republicans have done more to save black babies than the end of an ACP, the National Congressional Black Caucus, and BLM combined. What did I say that for? It created a firestorm because people don't want to hear that.
Starting point is 00:20:27 They were much rather hear that, oh, yeah, yeah. The left is doing everything necessary to support the black family and welfare states and following the pattern of Lyndon B. Johnson and the Great Society is the best thing for black Americans because, you know, we can't make it in this nation because of racism. But when you speak truth and you tell them that white Republicans have done more for black babies than three of the most prominent leading black groups in this country, people don't want to hear that, but it is factual. Now, if America is a racist nation, how do we explain the border issue that we have? According to a Pew Research Center study, one in ten black immigrants living in this nation have come here from another country to seek life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These individuals represent 4.6 million of the overall population in America. By 2060, that number is supposed to balloon to nearly 9.5 million people.
Starting point is 00:21:37 People are not fighting to get out of America. They're fighting and risking their lives to get in. And if this nation is such a racist nation, why are so many black immigrants trying to get in? Also, how do you explain two presidencies of a black president, Barack Hussein Obama, the worst president of all time on my ad. Well, he rivals Joe Biden. It's kind of neck and neck. It shifts.
Starting point is 00:22:08 In 2008 and in 2012, Barack Hussein Obama won his presidential elections. Now, blacks only make up 13% of the overall population in the U.S. So in order for a black man to become president twice, it requires. white support. And so when you pick these lies apart, and even when you look at economics, if America is a racist nation, why do Asians have the highest median income
Starting point is 00:22:43 in America and not whites? Why are Indians, the highest income earners versus whites? John, hold on one second. We're going to have to go to break. Folks, I'm talking to John Amun Chukwu. You don't need to spell Amunuchu. You need to spell Hood Wink, the title of his brand new book out today.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Hood Wink, we'll be right back. right for you.

Starting point is 00:25:25 You have to spell Hoodwink. That's the title of his new book. It is out today. Ten lies. Americans believe in the truth that will set them free. John, you were just going on one of the top lies. And it's mystifying how people believe this lie, that America is a racist nation. America is basically the least racist nation in the world, probably, because we are totally diverse as a nation. I'm thinking about other countries that are really hostile to groups that are different than that. Japan is a very racist nation, a genuinely racist nation. If you're not Japanese, you go to Japan behind your back. They call you Guy Jing. They really have a culture that is racist.
Starting point is 00:26:07 A lot of cultures around the world, they have racist cultures. Racism is not a bad thing if you go to India, for example. In this country, everybody knows racism is wrong. So the idea that this is a racist nation, it's just preposterous. You were just saying that millions and millions of Americans voted for one of the worst presidents ever, who happens to be black, Barack Obama. So these lies, it's almost like the problem we have is people are, how do we put it? We no longer go by facts. It's become very emotional.
Starting point is 00:26:45 That's at the heart of all of these lies that people believe. Yes, I agree with that. Everything is conjured up by emotions. And in particular, the left seeks to exploit the emotions and the animus towards. slavery and Jim Crow that blacks have. There's a statement that I say often and it gets me in trouble, but I'm not going to stop saying it. It's simple that blacks have become the cheap prostitutes of the Democrat Party. They screw us and barely pay us and we keep coming back for more.
Starting point is 00:27:23 There is no truer sentiment than what I just said. That is factually true. Now, in order for a person to see America in that light and to see the Democrat Party in that light, they have to remove the hood. But there are so many blacks and minorities in this country who suffer from Stockholm syndrome. They are in love with their captors. They're in love with their abusers. The people who seek to abuse them the most and do the most harm and danger, they love the most. In chapter two, I talk about being pro-life is only for white evangelicals.
Starting point is 00:28:06 You know, that's a big lie that if you are pro-life and you are simply a white Republican evangelical, you're part of the patriarchy and you have white skin. That's a viewpoint that's pushed upon many minorities in this country. Keep in mind, you're in New York. Governor Hockel recently came out and said, the blacks in the Bronx don't even know what a computer is. And where is the outrage? Where is the outcry?
Starting point is 00:28:40 Where was Jesse Jackson when this took place? Right. Tell me, can we find Reverend Al Sharpton? What did he have to say about it? What did the NWACP have to say? Did they mount a march in New York? Did they come out and publicly condemn her for doing so? Of course not.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And then when we consider the statements of Jesse Jackson prior to him running for the office of the presidency in the 70s, a quote here is clear. It says, human beings can I give or create life by themselves? It is really a gift from God. therefore one does not have the right to take away through abortion, that which he does not have the ability to give. These are the statements and sentiments of Jesse Jackson prior to running his campaign to be the president of the United States as a Democrat. He called killing a baby abortion. But when it was time for him to run for office, he sold his community out and he flipped. And so today, this notion of being pro-life and that being tantamount to a white evangelical worldview is not a white evangelical worldview.
Starting point is 00:30:04 It's a biblical worldview. And we argue so much in this nation as to when life begins, life before it becomes an organism in the womb of a mother is a concept in the mind of God first. every life, Eric, you were a concept in the faculties of God's mind before your mother and father came together. Same for me. It's a concept. And so that concept leads to conception. God wills it to be so. And so life begins in God's mind and then as the mother and the father comes together.
Starting point is 00:30:46 But there are people in this country who are campaigning, and billions of dollars to convince us that, hey, if you are black and you're trying to fight to save your own, then you are supporting a white Republican viewpoint. Keep in mind in New York, let's talk about New York, more black babies are aborted than I give them birth to. And so- My wife ran out Crisis Pregnancy Center here in Manhattan, and when I, when I, those statistics came to my attention, I was absolutely astonished. And everything you're saying, John, of course, is true that. Most black Americans have themselves been hoodwinked by the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:31:23 But I think many are beginning to wake up. We saw the rally that Trump did in the South Bronx. And I thought things had to get this bad for people just finally to wake up that they're seeing that, you know what, I have been taken. I've been taken for granted. Folks, I'm talking to John Amanchuku. We'll be right back. His brand new book, please get a copy. It's called Hoodwinked.
Starting point is 00:31:48 It's important that we know who is leading the charge against the madness in this country. John Amun Chukwu is at the head of the pack. The book is Hood Winked. We'll be right back. Welcome back. I'm talking to John Amun Chukwu. You do not need to spell Amunchukwu. You do need to spell Hoodwinked, much easier.
Starting point is 00:32:27 That's the title of his brand new book, Hood Winked. John, let's keep going. You've been a brave voice for truth. And what I love about you in particular is how you don't mind controversy. You speak the truth. You know it's going to be controversial. But you're inspiring many, many others myself, among them, to speak the bold truth, to speak the controversial truth. Because it is really spiritual warfare.
Starting point is 00:32:51 When we speak the truth, something happens in the spiritual realm. There's power when we speak the truth, when we're not cowed by what people think. This is so true. know, we were just talking about the statistics of blacks and how they're now beginning to, you know, see the light and remove the hood. And we're even seeing this take place in the current election. President Trump received nearly 9% of the black vote in 2020. But he's currently trending about 22% in 2024. And so I liken that to the fact that hoods have finally been removed. from the black community. But how do we get that number up to 30%, 35%, 40%, and 50%. How do we get it to the point where it was
Starting point is 00:33:44 prior to 1964 in the Civil Rights Act? How do we get it there? And I think that the way to continue to move towards that direction is number one to keep truth and factual ideals before all people, including, Black Americans. Now, when it comes to supporting someone that you may not agree with because of their personality, you oftentimes have to consider policy. And oftentimes in the black community,
Starting point is 00:34:17 the focus is not on policy. It's on personality and emotions. That's why Barack Obama was able to gain so much of the black vote. And President O Biden has been able to do the same thing. And so removing the hood and the lie around America being a racist nation and being pro-life as a white evangelical worldview is very central to the message of my new book. I even talk about, you know, Christianity being the white man's religion. You know, that's another way that they dupe blacks in America because of Western civilization and the pigmentation that Jesus had, you know, Jesus was not as white as you, Eric, or as black as me. He was Jewish, you know.
Starting point is 00:35:08 But Western civilization gave him a depiction of something that he wasn't. He wasn't a white man. But at the end of the day, regardless of his skin tone and pigmentation and color, if he was blue, canary yellow, if he was yellow, turquoise, magenta, I would serve him because it wasn't his pigmentation that redeemed me. It was his blood. And so we are, we are told in this country to focus. on external factors rather than the underlying message of a thing. And that's where the manipulation enters in. I even talk about the fact that disagreement today equals hate. And it means that we can no longer talk. You know, we don't have the right to not be offended.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Let me say that again. We do not have the right to not be offended. If you are a Christian, if you've been brought to the foot of Calvary, you know Christ as your person of Savior. You know that the gospel cut you before it consoled you. You know that the truth of God's word got into your mess. Maybe you were on your way back to a promiscuous relationship that day. Maybe you were on your way back to do drugs. Maybe you were on your way to commit a crime.
Starting point is 00:36:27 But somewhere along the way, after hearing the truth, You felt that train wreck and something cut you and reminded you of error. Truth cuts. And it's decided today because of these delusions and people having hoods over their head, people are resistant to differing viewpoints. Oftentimes talk about the false triune idol of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now, I call it a false triune idol because it mimics the Trinity. And the Trinity we have Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Starting point is 00:37:02 God longs for private worship. And from that private worship, it extends out into corporate worship. But when it comes to the false triune idol of DEI, they can care less about private worship. They want you to publicly bow. It's like King Nebuchadnezzar setting up his golden statue. And if you do not bow on live television, then they're going to camera. to you and de-flatform you. In this book, I even talk about
Starting point is 00:37:33 the fact that I know all too well that if you are anti-pornography, then you're labeled as a book banner. I have this book right here. It's called Let's Talk About it. Eric, I can't open this book and show your
Starting point is 00:37:49 audience what's in it. I can't do it. You know, because we would get flagged. They would take this video and this segment offline. This book right here shows children how to insert objects into their body parts below their navel. Okay, so this is why you're a hero. This is why everybody listening to this program needs to know you, John, I'm on Chukwu,
Starting point is 00:38:20 and get your book hoodwink, because you have gone in front of school boards. You take books like that, which is pornography, filth, propaganda. you say this is in your children's library. Taxpayer dollars are paying for this filth. And it's really worse than filth because it's a kind of propaganda. It's designed to mess with children's minds. It's not just, oh, it's there and it will mess with their minds. It's basically designed to infiltrate their natural defenses, their sense of shame and innocence. It's evil. You go to school boards, you talk about this, you read passages from this evil. propaganda and they attack you like you are the problem. It's absolutely amazing. Amazing. Now, John,
Starting point is 00:39:08 I want to talk to you about this. We just have seconds left, but then we have another segment. You have been doing this. You're training people to do this around the country. If Christians will step up, you don't need to be a Christian, actually. You just need to be a patriotic American, a decent human being. If you'll step up and do what John is doing a little bit, it will change the world. It will certainly change the country, will change your community. So, folks, I want to encourage you to get to know, John. Amichu Kwu is the way to say it, spelling it. That's another story, John Amanchukwu.
Starting point is 00:39:38 But the book we're talking about, this is all in there. It is called Hood Winked. We'll be back to talk with John Amichuku, the author of Hood Winked. Don't go away. Welcome back talking to John. Imanchukwu. Folks, in the book, Hood Winked. Actually, John, you say this.
Starting point is 00:40:24 You say we must be political. I've been saying this a lot. I made a, we made the, I wrote the book, Letter to the American Church. You're in the film, Letter to the American Church. The idea that Christians are not supposed to be political is utter insanity. But a lot of people are saying this, that we're not, we're supposed to stay out of these political debates, cultural debates. What do you say? Well, when Elijah, by the instructions of God, went into the court of King Ahab and told him to his,
Starting point is 00:40:54 face that there will be no more due nor reign until I say so. What was that? Was that not political? Was that not a prophet of God, a man called and destined by God going into the political spear and turning it upside down? Or better yet, right side up, as Paul did. And so yes, we are called as the church to be political. When you ever hear a pastor say we're not called to be political and we just need to simply just preach that the gospel and the gospel
Starting point is 00:41:32 is enough, you are listening to a sissy. Simply put, you're listening to a coward. Revelation is 21, verse 8 gives eight reasons why people will be thrown into the lake of fire. Number one is for being a coward. And cowardice is not a fruit
Starting point is 00:41:52 of the spirit. And so I'm raising up nationally through a program called Cyclone 400. It's a plan on how to raise up 400 warriors to go to school board meetings and to defend our children to reclaim our classrooms and to reclaim our schools and our communities. If you would like to hear more about Cyclone 400, you can go to I know god.us, subscribe and you will receive this battle plan to do so. Also have a toolkit. It's about 112 pages that you can go and download as well. It's all free.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I want to give you the resources to arm you to make America better. Now, this program is a vision that God gave me and the tool to realign America. You know, I don't get my talking points from the RNC. nor the DNC. I get my talking points from the B-I-B-L-E. And so I'm a biblical man, founded in scripture, everything that I do, I point it back to the word of God. God calls us to occupy until he comes. And we don't want to be the Christian who ultimately goes to hell for being a coward or to hear God say, depart from me, you worker of iniquity. I never knew you. We must occupy, We must labor.
Starting point is 00:43:21 And this program is a tool to reclaim our schools. Go sign up. Go get a copy of hoodwink. If you want to pluck some hoods off this year, if you want to make sure that people don't remain in the dark and that they're no longer beyond blindfolded, if you want to ensure that these delusions that have crept into society like transgenderism, the delusion that a man can become a woman and a woman can become a woman. man, the delusion that a man can get pregnant. Eric, we've gone to the point in this country where
Starting point is 00:43:56 we see men with beer guts and we're labeling them in the same category as a woman who can bring forth a child. No, don't confuse a beer gut with a man's ability to be able to bring forth a baby. Reality says, if you don't have a uterus, you cannot bring forth a child. But because of the hood, because of the strong delusion that Paul tells us in Thessalonians that God will sin. He will send the strong delusion so that people will believe lies. And that's where we are. My guest has been John Amun Chukwu. John, I love you.
Starting point is 00:44:33 I respect you. I admire you. I'm proud of you. Proud to call you friend. The book is Hoodwinked. Folks get a copy of Hoodwinked. John Amachuku, we will have you back to continue the conversation. God bless you, my friend.
Starting point is 00:44:45 friend. Thank you so much. God bless you.
