Starting point is 00:00:12 As the announcer of this show, I sometimes ask myself, to what shall I compare Eric? Shall I compare him to a summer's day? Rough winds do shake the darling buds of me. But not Aaron. I'll tell you nothing shakes this guy. And now here he is, wearing green leotards and a gestures coxcomb, Eric Mataxis. Exiton, stage left. Hey, folks, I've got something really special for you right now.
Starting point is 00:00:33 My friend, Angel Aloma, my hermano, Angel. How are you, my friend? Very bien, Eric. How much that's too? We get to do great things together. When there's terrible need, and right now, the reason I have you on is because there is a staggering need. We get to participate in God's purposes to do something about it. And obviously right now, I'm inviting my audience to participate.
Starting point is 00:00:59 It's kind of amazing what we're able to do in America with very little money. Now, I want you to tell us, first of all, we're doing a fundraiser for food for the poor. You're the executive director of Food for the Poor. What is going on? There's a particular emergency. There's a reason we're doing this right now, and I want my audience to tune in very carefully. So please tell us, what is this emergency right now? Well, Eric, with the coronavirus, as it is, and here in the United States, you have seen how it has created an upheaval here.
Starting point is 00:01:32 When I came to this country, I never thought I'd end up standing in line for toilet paper, or only given one pack of meat. per person when I went to, but those are just inconveniences. When this happens in developing nations, it becomes tragic. Because we thought at first when the coronavirus started that our countries would be asking us for PPEs, for masks and medicines and stuff like that, every single country has begged us to send more food. And so we have pledged that we are going to send from 10 to 15 million more dollars worth of food to them because the need has gone from extreme hunger to starvation. And that's from very serious to tragic.
Starting point is 00:02:14 We have to be clear. You're talking about actual starvation. Starvation that kills children and adults too, but children more so. Sometimes we get very real. This is very real. Pennies that we have can change lives in places like Haiti right now. need our pennies. Ten cents. Anhele, I heard you talking to my friend Larry Elder. Tell us, break down what you are asking. By the way, people need to go to our website,
Starting point is 00:02:47 which is metaxis talk.com. You'll see the details there, metaxis talk.com, but we need this as soon as possible. Tell my audience what their pennies will bring into this situation. Well, 10 cents allows us to buy ship and distribute a meal, rice and beans, which is basically the mix of carbs and plant protein, which is what is considered actually a perfect meal for poverty in particular. So basically, not only to purchase it, but to ship it and to distribute it, it gets to the plate for that price. One dime. I just want to make clear to my audience, do we understand the disparity between our wealth and what is happening in these countries? One thin dime can feed a child who is starving literally to death. This is no.
Starting point is 00:03:35 hyperbole folks. So, so Anhelle, I think you said that we can feed a child for six months for $37. This is just two good meals a day for $37 for six months. And it's actually wonderful because at least we have, we have an idea that that child has six months in which maybe the country will change in which you might be able to get more help to them in which the jobs might open up. So there is hope in that. Now, there are people who might be able to afford to give $370 to give, you know, for 10 children. There are those who might only be able to give 37. And that's fine. It's whatever you can afford, even if it's a little bit sacrificial, because the situation here is tremendously urgent.
Starting point is 00:04:24 We are talking about life and death in a manner that is not just something that we're thinking of symbolically. This is life and death physically for these. and every child's death brings sorrow and shame and depression to parents and grandparents. And we want to be able to save them of that also because hunger is one is a physical aspect that is horrible of poverty. But for them to die of hunger brings so much shame when we travel to Guatemala, the men usually run away when they see us coming to visit the home because they feel so embarrassed that they can't support their children. They start to lose hope when this happens to generation after generation. And in a situation like COVID-19, they really feel, oh, my God, why are we being punished like this?
Starting point is 00:05:15 And one thing that is a hope to them, and I saw it alive in Haiti after the earthquake, is that they have this strong feeling that regardless of their problems, God will send someone to them. God will touch someone's heart that will help them. And that's what we're asking of your listeners. to allow God to touch their hearts, to really bring them, you know, to the generosity needed to save someone's life. If you want to shake hell, you do something like this, whether it's sacrificial or almost sacrificial, I mean, to be able to give money to people who will never be able to pay you back, knowing that God sees what you do. Tell the story about the two boys where one was eating and the other was just watching.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I mean, this brings it home. I can't even believe this. In Haiti, I went into a hut and there was a little four-year-old eating a little bowl of rice and then his seven-year-old brother was standing there looking at him, looking tremendously sad. So I asked him, Puki Sao Pamanjae, which means how come you're not eating? And he said to me in Creole, today it's not my turn to eat. And it broke my heart. I thought of my grandchildren immediately and I thought how painful it would be for me as a grandfather or as a parent when my kids were young, if they were really hungry and they came to me and I said,
Starting point is 00:06:35 I can't feed you today, maybe tomorrow. That child was suffering, but the mother and father had to be suffering even more emotionally. I want to make this personal. My mother in Germany right after the war, they went hungry many times. And my mother told me this story many times of coming home from school and finding my grandmother weeping at the table because she had no food to give her children for dinner. This is real. Folks, it might not be happening in America, but I'm telling you this is real. What is happening in Haiti right now is so much worse than we can imagine that if we don't step up, you kind of have to wonder, God blesses us to be a blessing.
Starting point is 00:07:20 If you have a little bit of money, the Lord's given it to you to use it for his purposes. I mean, you're telling me that COVID has been devastating also. Tell us about the white flags. I couldn't believe that one. Well, it's not even flags because it gives you the idea of something on a stick and, you know, flying in the air. It is T-shirts or any piece of old cloth that they have at home. In El Salvador, they used the white ones and they put it out there because I guess everyone had a white old t-shirt. And they hung it up outside.
Starting point is 00:07:51 It was to indicate to passers-bys and to agencies that their tattooed. who were starving. This situation has become so huge, so out of hand that, that, you know, we need every possible help. My one consolation is that the American public has proven themselves over and over again. Once they hear of a situation like this, they always respond. This is not our first rodeo here between you and I, Eric. And do you know that your listeners respond beautifully to something like this. You know that the American public, whether it's a broader here,
Starting point is 00:08:28 as long as they hear about it, as long as they know it's happening, they respond beautifully. I have lived in four countries and none have the philanthropic tradition of this country. It's part of the culture of America. It comes from the Christian heritage of America
Starting point is 00:08:43 that we understand this in our bones. And the question is, who can hear what you've just been talking about and say, I don't have $37 to give to this situation? I mean, as bad as it is, whenever we do a fundraiser for food for the poor, we are now talking about COVID disaster. Factory shut down, people with no jobs, as bad as it ever was, it's now that much worse. And I want to beg my audience, folks, focus on what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:09:11 This is a very, very dramatic situation. We can't do better than go to food for the poor. The idea that you can take six cents and get a meal, and for four cents, get it to the people. get it to the people. I mean, that alone speaks for the tremendous efficiency. We're basically at a time. Anhell, I just want to say to you, I'm grateful you all exist because without you, I don't know what I would do. There are people out there that can give thousands of dollars. I'm asking my audience, folks, please go to metaxis talk.com. Do what you can for God's glory. Anheel, thank you very much. Thank you, Eric, and we're grateful for you, too.
Starting point is 00:09:52 It was nice talking to you. God bless. Always. You're back door. Big bright, shiny yellow sun. Your children play. They think you're the only one. Hey there, folks.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Welcome back to my conversation with someone who's kind of hard to describe. Kevin Schip with two peas at the end. You can look him up online. You can find out more. Kevin, there's so much I want to talk to you about. A lot of this stuff is profoundly disturbing to people who love America who live liberty around the world, really. and I guess I have some confidence and hope that the president is onto this and has the spine to continue.
Starting point is 00:10:47 You're sounding less sanguine about that or about whether anything can be done. But I think Bill Barr has been on the record as going back into government service because I think he saw these things happening and wanted to deal with them, no? Well, first of all, Donald Trump is dealing with it head on, and he does have the spine to deal with it. That's why they can't, they're baffled that they haven't gotten rid of him yet because they've manipulated every president going back to JFK. I've watched them. I've seen them do it. That's why I blew the whistle on how they manipulate the White House. They can't manipulate Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:11:25 He can't be bought. He's not being paid a salary by anybody. He can't be blackmailed. His particular unique personality was their worst enemy. Because although it's wearing on anybody, and nobody should have had to go through what Donald Trump has gone through. With Russia Gate, then the false impeachment, and I went on Fox News and talked about the false CI whistleblower, where they went after him. They went after his family repeatedly. But nobody should have to go through that.
Starting point is 00:11:55 But he's got the spine and the guts to do it. Will he be able to dismantle the shadow government? I can say this. I know he is trying. Attorney General Barr has come on and is trying. They are up against a system that has been put in place and legally used going all the way back to the Bush administration. And, of course, the Clintons, this system of spying, illegal spying, the abuse of power, the manipulation of Congress. This has been going on for decades.
Starting point is 00:12:25 It's a decade-old system. that they've been using legally by laws that were put on the books that are unconstitutional. So they're going against an ingrained system that has been there for over 60 years. The question is, can they dismantle an entire system is a question. That is the question. What do you think is going to happen with this election? I mean, the level of chaos in this country right now is, I would argue, unprecedented. The closest we come maybe is 1968, but I still don't think.
Starting point is 00:12:56 You know, we didn't have a pandemic. It really seems to me that the level of looniness is frightening for many Americans. What do you suppose will happen in the next couple of months? Yeah, I think Americans need to be prepared because the violence is going to increase substantially, and it's going to get worse. There's going to be more attacks on people, physical assaults, and we're seeing some pretty bad ones. I've done a whole program on Black Lives Matter. It is not a civil rights movement by out of their own,
Starting point is 00:13:26 admission in their website. They are Marxists. They're anti-Christian. They're connected to the nation of Islam. Combined with Antifa, they are going to increase their violence in every attempt. And they are the Open Society Foundation, George Soros and others, have pumped so much money into Black Lives Matter and Antifa that the BLM leaders are now becoming wealthy. So there's going to be much more violence coming. People need to, and I think from September, November, it is going to get very, very ugly. And we're going to I'm sorry, go ahead. More physical attacks, more assault. We're going to see more physical violence, more assaults, more alluding, more attacks
Starting point is 00:14:02 on conservatives and Christians, specifically churches and others that is going to increase. This is like, almost like the book of Revelation where Satan knows he has a short time, so he's getting as mean as nasty as he possibly can. That's what's happening leading up to the election. If Donald Trump wins, and I think he will, it's going to get worse even after that. So people need to prepare themselves, I think, for the. violence is coming. I think, unfortunately, you're right, but I think that just as you said, we need to know
Starting point is 00:14:33 that it is because the truth is winning and because the dark forces are angry because they're losing. I also think that the violence plays into the hands of the Trump campaign, that when you see these things, you know, the Democrats can try to say it's Trump's fault. But I think your average American isn't nearly dumb enough or ignorant enough to believe that that can be the case. I agree. Darkness always gets worse when it thinks that its end is coming. And because these movements think that Trump is going to get elected a second time and then some wicked heads are going to roll. They're just getting nastier and nastier and nastier and as people say to me, when I,
Starting point is 00:15:24 when I get on subjects like this, I get a lot of attacks over the internet and other places. And it's just because you're over the target. Well, Donald Trump is over the target. And there's a silent majority, Eric, as you know, there is a huge silent majority of conservatives, Christians, patriots, and constitutionalists out there just waiting to vote that are out there in silence and the dark left, if you want to call it, what have you, they know that they're out there. 63 million of us got Donald Trump elected. That number has grown significantly. And so I think these forces know that. And that's why they're getting so violent and will get so violent before the election and afterwards, if and when Donald Trump is elected. I just want to tell my producer,
Starting point is 00:16:08 we're going to make this the 11-minute segment and do a seven and an eight. But let me ask you, why do you suppose the forces of law and order that we have in this country, and certainly that the president has at his command, wouldn't be unleashed on these forces of anarchy and disorder and violence? Why do you suppose they would be able to get away with that? I'm never clear on that. That's a good question, Eric. And, you know, people are saying, well, there may be martial law to shut down these protests
Starting point is 00:16:38 and the destruction of property and federal buildings and other things. I think part of that is a fact if Donald Trump was to take the action necessary, I think, to quell this anarchy, then it would be viewed as Donald Trump is a tyrant and anarchists, and it would play into the negative publicity by the mainstream media and others against Donald Trump. So I think they're holding back and they're just waiting initially for the states to handle it constitutionally, which is proper, but of course the states are not. So I think the Trump administration and the feds are just holding back and just waiting, still allowing the states to handle this, which the blue states are not, and they're not going to do anything decisive until after the election, I don't think. Anybody who lives, as I do in New York City, whether you're a liberal or a conservative or in between, you can see almost daily how things are going downhill. I live in a fairly nice neighborhood. For the first time in 15 years, yesterday I saw a disheveled street person pushing a shopping cart loaded with his belongings. I thought that's interesting. I have not seen
Starting point is 00:17:55 that in this neck of the woods in 15 years. Giuliani changed, fundamentally changed the city, and Bloomberg for 12 years continued that legacy. And it is amazing. how in a few short years, de Blasio, who is effectively a communist. I mean, I don't shrink from saying that, has allowed things to happen that are just truly stunning. And I agree with you that around the country, you're seeing Democratic mayors of these large cities and Democratic governors of some of these blue states seemingly unwilling to acknowledge what is happening, somehow fooling themselves into thinking that
Starting point is 00:18:39 this is largely peaceful protests and so on and so forth. I mean, you know, it's just a media narrative. That's really what we're battling mostly is that the media is not calling these folks out, except for some conservative media. They're not calling them out. And we know that young kids are being murdered in the streets of some of these cities. So I'm guessing, and I wonder if you're thinking the same thing, that Trump has made a calculation.
Starting point is 00:19:09 that he says that I can't really do anything about it without being accused of being Hitler 2.0, some kind of authoritarian dictator. And perhaps if people see the fruit of some of this kind of lack of leadership on the Democratic side, it will lead to good things in November. I personally think that Trump is a brilliant strategist. And there is, I guess, what I would call the flame-out strategy. you just let these people defund the police.
Starting point is 00:19:41 You let these people let the writing and the looting continue. Let them tear up your city and tear down the walls and ruin things while your murder rate goes up. And at some point, the people are going to have had enough in your own state, in your own city, and they're going to say, we've had enough. Stop this. And that's going to play into Donald Trump's favor. Just by letting this thing progress through its own destruction, essentially, people, even Democrats, are going to say they've had enough and decry this sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:20:12 So it's going to, I think they're letting it flame out. They're letting them defund the police as crime goes up as the cities burn until people in those cities and states, as I said, say, we've had enough of this. Stop. We want the police back. We want our governor out of office and replaced. And people eventually will get enough. Yeah, that's the hope and the prayer of many people.
Starting point is 00:20:35 We're going to be back. We're continuing our conversation. With Kevin Shipp, that's Shipp with two P's at the end. You can find him all over the Internet. We'll be right back. Shine a little over. Deliver. Lead us to let's do that.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Hey, the folks, continuing the conversation with Kevin. Ship-I-P, you can find him all over the Internet. I hope you will because this is very important stuff. You've been talking about this for so long, Kevin. And it must be at least a little bit gratifying to see other people finally acknowledging what you've been shouting about. All I can say is thank God. You know, it was lonely for about five or six years, really. I was so persuaded that it need to be said.
Starting point is 00:21:45 But, Eric, it is extremely fulfilling. And the numbers of people now that are seeing it and saying something about it is extremely fulfilling. So, so, yeah, thank God. I've got to ask you about something which I do not understand very much. It's this Q or QAnon phenomenon. Can you speak to that, please? Sure, I'd be glad to. I've done a lot of study, detailed study on Q, obviously, because it's a pretty sizable movement. And I'll just give you my analysis with Q. I studied a lot of Q drops, they call them, that were erroneous. Hillary Clinton was going to be arrested by the end of the week. I was back in November 17. They're going to be mass arrest and Comey, Brennan, and others, and there's going to be trials at Guantanamo, and that never happened. And so there have been some pretty significant errors.
Starting point is 00:22:36 There have been some posts that have been correct and accurate. The issues I have personally, and I'm coming from, I guess, a former intelligence officer and in the Christian point of view, there have been serious arrows in some of the posts. If you question Q, you're kind of hit by the Q mob. when I've come out and mention these things, I get hundreds of nasty messages from some of these people. And I'm approaching this just from a factual objective analysis. So what the Q movement has done, Eric, just in my view,
Starting point is 00:23:09 is the Q movement has kind of become an umbrella for all of the conspiracy theories that are out there and just about every walk of life, some of which are legitimate have come in under the Q movement. But the Q movement has a fanatical element that is almost cult-like, where they follow Q-Drops every day all day. A lot of people don't even know what we're talking about here. I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:23:30 I've never heard the T-Drops. Is there one person that's doing this? Well, on A-Chan, 4-chan and A-Chan, which is the dark Internet channel where most of the pornography and some of the human trafficking is done, this entity Q-Anon came out on 8-chan on the dark web and began posting as Q-Anon. Now there was a CIN on that channel. There was an FBI and on on that channel. And then QAnon comes on,
Starting point is 00:23:56 claims to be a high-level defense intelligence personality with a high-level clearance and starts making these drops. They happen almost every day where this Q personality or personalities will drop these little clues to the Q followers, and then they'll spend a lot of time trying to decipher and find out what they meet. And that's essentially a synopsious of the Q movement. But no one knows who Q is. And as someone who came out openly and risked prison in my life to expose the deep state,
Starting point is 00:24:27 someone hiding in secret that won't provide their credentials and no one knows who they are, that's fundamentally a problem with me from the word get go. The fact that many of the significant posts have been wrong, many are so general. Tell us, tell us what's been wrong, because I know some have been right and some, But what's been wrong? Well, for example, there was a post that said trust sessions. And later on, there was a post that said those who don't trust sessions in Huber will receive the pain. Well, obviously, Sessions betrayed Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:24:58 It was because of him that the Mueller investigation began against Donald Trump. Yeah, I would actually, I would take issue with that. I don't want to get into this. But I would, I don't, I believe that Sessions didn't betray Trump, but that he kind of tripped himself up. But that's another, I suppose that's another issue. That's a good point. That's a good point because what Sessions did, I don't know if you want to call it. He let himself get intimidated.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I agree with you. That's the point. In other words, I think that he made mistakes and he hurt Trump, but I don't think he would ever have done that intentionally. Honestly, I don't. I agree with you. No, I agree with you. And I think he kind of let them coerce him into recusing himself, which opened the door for the Mueller investigation. Correct.
Starting point is 00:25:42 So anyway, trust sessions and sessions was going to investigate these people. Well, that never happened. And then one that was even worse than that. And factually was trust Huber. Well, Huber never investigated anything, as we know. Nothing was done as we know. And then another one was that Robert Mueller actually was working with Trump, that the Mueller investigation was just the sham,
Starting point is 00:26:04 that Mueller was working for Trump and that they were going to expose all of the coupons. Okay. So just based on what you said, it sounds like Q is garbage. Well, that's what Sebastian Gorka. I'm a big fan of Sebastian Gorka, who was a close to mind. So am I and a friend. What does he say?
Starting point is 00:26:21 Sebastian Gorka came out and called it garbage because of the things that I'm saying, these erroneous posts and the fact that people are following it like a cult, and much of Q's drops are so broad, you can interpret them. It's almost like astrology. You throw something out that you can. It's like Nostradamus, you know? Exactly. He predicted that.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Look, honestly, some people that have given this more credibility also are part of the problem. And look, it doesn't mean that whoever is behind this doesn't mean well or isn't getting some things right. But what you've just said, you know, rises to the level of preposterous. What has Q said that has been right? Well, you know, it's funny. What is happening now is even Donald Trump is in some of his tweets is alluding to QAnon. And so the Q&O followers now think that Q is Donald Trump or that Donald Trump is actually posting through Q&R. And so they're starting to claim that when in reality it's pretty clear to me that Donald Trump knows that there are millions of Q&N followers out there.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It's a huge base of support for him. Dedicated support. So do you think he's going to make the Q movement man? No way. No, no. So. We have to go to a break. We're going to be right back another segment. I'm so happy to say with Kevin Schip, don't go away.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Albin, I always talk about relief factor, but sometimes it's better to hear from somebody else. So today, we're going to hear from Ann. Here she is. It has changed my life is the only thing I can say. I've been exercising for years. My shoulder is in bad, bad shape. It's swelling. It hurts.
Starting point is 00:28:16 It goes numb during the night. Well, I heard about. Relief Factor on the radio. And I'd been hearing testimonies for a couple of years. And I said, I'm going to order Relief Factor because I need help. I was sleeping sitting up for five years with pillows in my back. And now I'm sleeping flat on my back with one pillow. This is amazing.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I beg my relatives to take this. I was at a wedding recently. I'm begging them. I'm saying, look, you've got aches and pains. Take this. In three weeks, you'll know if it works for you. You're crazy not to try it. And by the way, it's cheap.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Like, that's the whole life. That's why it's like, you know, sweeping the nation because people can afford to take it. Yes. Go to Relieffactor.com. Get the quick start pack for 1999. Check it out three weeks. Relieffactor.com. Hey there, folks.
Starting point is 00:29:11 I am talking to Kevin Schip. We are now, we've shifted over to the subject of QAnon, which is mysterious. It's an odd phenomenon. I don't hardly want to define it at this point, but a lot of people talk about it. So what has QAnon got? gotten correct, Kevin. Well, as I said, Q&N, what they've gotten correct is some of their posts have come out and then Trump has tweeted something very similar just after that.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And in some cases, acknowledged Q&N the president has. So the Q&ONNs now are saying that Trump is not only supporting the Q&O movement, they call him Q Plus. He may be Q himself, which is quite a strict. It sounds like a stupid TV series. Like people who, they used to watch Game of Thrones and they want something similar. So I'm not a fan of that kind of stuff. But what about when it comes to things like vaccines and COVID, are these folks against that?
Starting point is 00:30:15 Or do they think COVID is a hoax? Do they think that vaccines are some nefarious plot to track them? What are they saying? Are they saying anything about that? Yes, they do. They think vaccines are a plot to track them. They think COVID. COVID was an invention by the shadow government, deep state to control the populace. Yeah, they do. And that's one of the several conspiracy theories that they kind of gather around in terms of their movement.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I think, I mean, it seems clear to me that the left is using COVID politically and very, very shamefully, very shamefully. But the idea that vaccines could be used to track people, I heard somebody, Mark Taylor, who is a prophetic figure out there, say something about that the vaccines would have nanotechnology. I like when people throw around those terms, you know, as though that explains whatever. And they have nanotechnology and would be able to track people and it's like the mark of the beast or something like that.
Starting point is 00:31:15 The problem with stuff like that is that if it's wrong, you are sucking people into something harmful to themselves. Exactly. And you're treating, I mean, you're treating truth very, lightly. And so I have very little patience for that by God's grace. I don't think anybody should have patience for it. But is that part of what you're hearing that there's some kind of nanotechnology? There's going to be a COVID vaccine and that's really a trick. Don't go, don't fall for it. Yes. And I couldn't agree with you more that these are false predictions. And false predictions
Starting point is 00:31:49 heard a lot of people when they follow these people. And then it turns out not to be true. You know, Mark Taylor says a lot of good things. Mark Taylor is a cue follower, an avidctions. the Q-Far. And- I didn't know that, but I was guessing that. And listen, I have very mixed feelings
Starting point is 00:32:04 about Mark Taylor. I had him on this program some time ago, and he has said some things that are wrong, or at least sloppy. And if you are a prophetic voice, if anybody even believes in that,
Starting point is 00:32:16 I do, you need to be very careful what comes out of your mouth because God will hold you accountable for every syllable. And to throw this kind of stuff around without here, hearing very clearly and very directly from God is wrong.
Starting point is 00:32:34 So when people like that are fanning the flames of this kind of conspiracy, it plays into the hands of people who think all people of faith are crackers. And so it's very unfortunate to me that they would say that kind of thing, unless they know for sure. If you know something for sure. But Mark Taylor and some others have been, sloppy, the woman that he used to often work with Mary Colbert, you know, she declared on the internet before the 2018 election, it's going to be a blues, it's going to be a red tsunami.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeah. I don't think it was a red tsunami. I don't even think it was a red wave. And so when people say things like that, in fact, Mark Taylor said on my program that, he thought it would be a red tsunami. And I said, now, wait, are you saying God said that or you're saying that? And he goes, oh, oh, that's just, that's my opinion. And I'm thinking, well, when were you going to clarify that Mark Taylor, Mr. Prophet, because most people think if you're speaking with that kind of authority, you're speaking for God. So forgive me for going off on that digression there. But so Q&N involves a lot of crazy stuff. And the problem is always that when truth gets
Starting point is 00:33:44 mixed up with lies or when lies are put forward, there's just enough truth to confuse people. Exactly. It leads to bad things. Yeah. Exactly. Now, I got a master's level degree in detection of deception or forensic psychophysiology was just a big word. And deception is this. Deception is 80% truth, 20% lie. And the lie changes the meaning of everything. And it's so refreshing what you said, Eric, because in terms of somebody that claims there are a prophet, the scriptures are clear.
Starting point is 00:34:12 God said, you can tell a true prophet because what that prophet says from God comes to past exactly how it has been given. If it happens differently or doesn't happen at all, by the Bible's definition, that is a false prophet or false prophecy. And that's so critical for Christians to understand because a lot of believers are following these people. And it's the old fly in the omen. They're going to follow them in droves.
Starting point is 00:34:36 And then when their prophecy doesn't come to pass, what they do is they adjust. Well, it didn't really mean this. Actually, the prophecy meant that. And that's an indication of a prophecy that is false and didn't come from God. And it's deceiving a lot of very good, sincere, good-hearted Christians. That's exactly right.
Starting point is 00:34:53 What will typically happen is the people will say, oh, I got the timing off or something like that. Or they'll say, oh, it was contingent on this. Well, you never made that clear from the beginning, so you're clearly full of baloney. Or what will happen is the followers of that person will not just stop following that person. They will get turned off to God and their faith completely. They'll lose their faith. I've seen this happen, which is why I speak strongly about it. I have too.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Yes. have patience for it. Well, so then, largely speaking, you don't think well of the Q anon movement. Well, and as people should know, I have been ruthlessly attacked for my analysis of the Q movement, which is not a good sign. No, I don't think Q, I don't think Q is valid. I think Q is fake. He is not a highly classified insider from the world that I come in.
Starting point is 00:35:48 That's called espionage, and you're dropping classified information over the dark web. So no, I don't think Q is an insider. I think it has deceived a lot of very, very good people who follow it almost like a cult, and that is very, very serious. And when you come out and just give an objective analysis about Q, you are attacked mercilessly, which I have been. And I understand that's what happens. So no, I am not a supporter of the Q movement. There have been errors. Q will not reveal who he is. There's no indication that he has any clearance whatsoever. And it has become a cult-like following. I assume it's like it's a deep throat wannabe kind of situation.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Well, fortunately for the followers of Q&ON, we're out of time. But Kevin, Shipp, I'm just so grateful to you for all that you do and specifically today for your taking time to be with us on this program. We'd love to have you back sooner rather than later. And we'll let you know when this airs. Again, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Thank you so much, Eric. Hey there, folks. As you know, today I'm in Washington, D.C., where I got to hear the president give his acceptance speech, actually not far from where I'm standing right now. A couple of things I want to cover with you really quickly in a couple of seconds we have left. Number one, food for the poor. We are asking every one of you, this is the last few days that you can go to metaxis talk.com or you can call. the number. I want to, the head of food for the poor, Angel Aloma has something to share. Let's play that. Now with the coronavirus, she sees that the hope keeps getting smaller and smaller. Imagine if a two-year-old who might have weighed 13 pounds and all of a sudden they go to 12 and they go to 11 and they go to 10 and they go to 9 and they go to 8 and they go to 7, imagine if that word, your child, knowing that because you could not get them food, that your baby is going to die.
Starting point is 00:38:22 It's that simple, folks. The bad news is that that's happening. The good news is that just about every one of you can do something about it. $37 can feed a kid for six months. Two good meals a day. Food for the poor are as reputable as it gets. We work with them every year to help folks in places like Haiti in Guatemala. These are truly the poorest of the poor in our hemisphere. So either go to

Starting point is 00:40:41 and guess what? It actually is funny. The illustrations by my dear friend, Raglan are brilliant. You'll recognize a lot of the cast of characters from the swampy city in which I'm standing at present. It's meant to be funny, but it's also meant to communicate some truths. I think you'll appreciate that. It's a humor book for adults. You can give it to your friends who love the president. You can also give it to your friends who hate the president and dare them not to laugh because some of it is just that funny. It also does work as a kid's book and a lot of
