Episode Date: May 6, 2021

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn continues his "revelations" of America's decision-making and how past choices may result in outcomes that could prove detrimental to citizens of this nation and the world.

Texas show with your host, Eric McTexas. Hey folks, the Eric McTaxe show. We now continue airing my wonderful conversation with Rabbi Jonathan Khan for the Dayspring Christian Academy. Here it is. Now, Eric, I saw this happen in my own lifetime. When I was a new believer, and actually this was the event that forced me to tell my parents I was a believer in Jesus, I went to Washington.

And the thing was, there was a time in you, I'm sure you remember it, when it looked like America was falling apart. Carter was president. We were having double-digit inflation, double-digit employment. We were on gas lines. Everything was falling apart. And we had 52 American hostages in Iran. And every day we turned on the television and say, death to America, death to America. Then Carter sent in a rescue thing. They crashed. And it was disaster. A gloom was on America. And they were saying... But the most important thing, you need to focus, Jonathan. The most important thing,

Carter never sent a mean tweet in his life. focus on what's important. We'll give him that. Go ahead. Of course, there were no tweets, but we'll give him that. Okay. All right. So what happened was at that same moment, Christians gathered from around the country,

and they came to the Washington Mall, and they prayed with one scripture. The scripture was, if my people. They kept saying again and again and again, I remember being there. What year was that? That was 1980. 1980. If my people, if my people. I was there.

I was a new believer. And I remember two prayers. One is everybody grabbed their hands and they said, Lord, where we were helpless with these hostages and over a year, you released them by your hand. Okay, that was one. Number two, everybody put their hands to the Capitol building to the Western Terrace and said, Lord, put into government whom you want. Now, here's what happened. A few months later, there was an election. There was a revolution of the polls. And all these people who were saying were on for biblical values were swept into office, including Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was, this is about politics. This is about politics.

politics. He was inaugurated on, now the inauguration had always been for over a hundred years, a hundred of the years, had been on the eastern side. They changed it to the western side. So now he's standing where we were praying and saying, God, put who you want there. And he's facing where we were all praying if my people. And not, but in the hour that he was sworn in, the hostages were released. So two prayers in one moment. And then we saw a change of history. All of a sudden, it doesn't matter your politics, America started rebounding economically. The The Soviet Union fell, all these things. They called it mourning in America, right?

It was like another chance. But it all changed when Ronald Reagan put his hand on the Bible. But it wasn't just the Bible. He had his hand on a verse. The verse he had his hand on was, if my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, I will hear from heaven. I will heal their land. The God of the Bible, the God of Solomon, who he said it to, is still the God who is alive and well today. He can do miracles.

He can change anything. but if my people. It's if. That is a fact. I thought we had 40 minutes left, but I was just told that that's a typographical error on the clock, and we have about two minutes left. So give us a final thought.

I know that Dr. Myers will come up here and then we'll come back up after that. But give us a final thought. Yeah. If, well, first of you know, you said, if my people. So the ultimate, the two words that are so important, or three, or is my people and the word if. God still is alive and well. And if what we're seeing here with all the things we're saying, that's showing you how real God is in all these things.

God is alive and well, and if he gives a promise, he will keep it. But for there to be revival, there has to be repentance. For there to be revival, it has to begin with us. We're the people. We can't just pray for revival. We have to pray for revival as never before, but we have to start living in revival. If we will live in revival, the revival starts now. And do not fear darkness. The darkest, just like it is here, the dark getting darker, the lights of God, you all have lights on your table, the lights will shine brighter than ever. And if the, America, in many ways, is going from bad to worse, it's time that we go from good to great. You see, don't fear. A lot of you, a lot of you've been praying, say, I wish I could live in

biblical times. Congratulations. You're there now. You're there now. These are the days of Jeremiah. That's what it was. These are the days of Isaiah. These are the days of Elijah. You know, we're seeing these other days of Elijah. Well, it wasn't just miracles. It was persecution, but that's when you have the greatest testimonies. That's when God pours out his power, the greatest for those. It says the eyes of the Lord are searching the entire earth, looking for the one whose heart is completely his. He will lift them up. You be that one. You be that person. And God will do it. You be that person. Let it begin here. Let it begin in Pennsylvania. In fact, if it's okay.

I was going to say, I think before we leave the stage temporarily, I think we should pray Dr. Myers is going to come up, and these people, if they're listening to Holy Spirit, are going to write a sacrificial level check. Hey there, folks, it's the Eric Mattaxas show. We now come to the Q&A part of my conversation with Rabbi Jonathan Khan. The host was Dr. Michael Myers of Day Spring Christian Academy. Here it is. And now let us welcome back to the stage, our special guests and our friends, Rabbi Jonathan Khan and Eric Mataxis. They certainly are. Terrific. And I have a ton of questions. You have a ton of questions?

Yeah, and we have 40 minutes on the clock. That's excellent. Isn't that great? It's wonderful. Thank you, Joshua. I do have a few questions because I think a lot of people have questions, and we appreciate very much being able to get inside your minds because you both have so much to offer. For one thing, I'm going to say your books have immensely blessed and impacted.

me both of you, and I really appreciate that. I'm so thankful that you are going to be able to be out there signing books at the end, so don't forget, get in line and have your books sign this evening over in that direction. There's an opening in the wall that you'll go through there. But let's begin by, I know you touched on this before, and you said that it's not too late for America because there's always hope for America. But is there a tipping point that at some point where you feel that, you know, it's just too late? Is that something that we should look for or don't even look at that? The double masking was the tipping point. It's clear there's no coming back from that level of lunacy. It's over. The question was directed to you. There is a point. The

Bible speaks about it. The only thing is until we know what that point is, we got to pray for hope. We got to pray for hope. We got to pray for God's hand. Amen. Yeah. Good. Okay. Wonderful. Another question that comes up a lot is what role does the church have in civil government? Should the church stay out of that stuff and mind its own business with the spiritual heart of the people? You mean like the dead churches are doing? Well, let's go there. You want to start? 11 years ago, I wrote a book about the life of Dietrich Bonhofer.

When I wrote the book, I didn't realize that it was prophetic. I believe, like Jonathan Kahn, that the Lord led me to see things and to write things before I even knew what was going on. When you look at it now, it's staggered. unfortunately, the parallels, and Bonhofer was trying to tell the church to wake up and to resist the Nazis. Many in the church at that time said, no, we just want to preach the gospel. It's hard to believe the devil could say we just want to preach the gospel, but it was the devil who was saying that. Because when you say we just want to preach the gospel,

you don't even know what the gospel is. They decided we're not going to be political, but sometimes politics comes to you. When they're putting Jews in boxcars to Treblinka and Auschwitz, if you do not stand up and do more than preach the gospel, you don't know what the gospel is. You're a hypocrite or a dead Christian. And when things are happening as they are happening in America today,

when half of the country doesn't even believe the election happened properly. It is chaos and madness. If the church does not stand up and speak boldly and with courage, we will go down the path precisely that Germany went. We are no better than the Germans and we're no worse. If the church in that nation turns away and says, not yet, we're not ready to make any enemies. We're just going to preach the gospel. We're going to be apolitical. They are paving the way for the devil to do evil things. And there's no reason

that that cannot happen here. And I would say it absolutely will happen here if the church does not stand up and get as political as Wilberforce and Bonhofer did. Hey there, folks. How many years have I been telling you about relief factor? What, like four? The truth is, I know there are millions of people. In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise, just getting older. That could do it, getting older, which is why I am so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot. They are on a mission.

You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment. Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year. And I believe they'll do it. So here's the deal. If you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle, aches and pains, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted to only 1995, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain too. And then after that, less than the

cost of a cup of coffee, a day to stay at a pain. Go to relieffactor.com, relief factor.com, or call 800, 500, 8384. Relieffactor.com. 800, 500, 8384. I use it. It works. Check it out. Hey folks, Eric Metaxis here. Like you, I am sick of hearing about big tech companies, spying on their customers, selling their data, and not being able to keep their platforms safe and secure. Luckily, I've found SquadPod, a private platform that helps businesses, organizations, churches, and nonprofits take back control of their communication. Squad pod has three things going for it that other companies do not. First, squad pod puts you in control of who is a part of your team, what they see, and how they interact with.

the group. Second, squad pod is 100% owned and operated in the United States. Third, squad pod is simple to use. Just create an account, invite your team and start communicating via their secure video and messaging features. Learn more at squadpod.com slash Eric. That's squadpod.com slash Eric. Let me say it again. Squadpod.com slash Eric. Check it out. Folks, you've been listening to my special interview with Rabbi Jonathan Khan. We did it at an event for Day Spring Christian Academy in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I agree, and I can identify my father grew up under Hitler as a Jew and he escaped. That's the reality of evil, the way that the Bible says.

Right, you know, we're watching America, kind of the middle ground disappearing, and things getting extreme on both sides. And the one time that happened in history was Wymer in Germany, where you had the extreme, you had extremes fighting in the streets and all the stuff, and that was the result of it. It is crucial. And the other doctrine of the German church is that that's for this space, and we're in this space,

and the church part doesn't have to touch the rest of the world. The Lord never gave us that option. He said, you are the light, not of the church, you're the light of the world. You're the salt, not of the sanctuary. you're the salt of the earth. And if you don't do it, who's going to do it? If we don't shine, who is going to shine? If we don't do it, and if we just withdraw, it's one thing if we can't. That's one thing. They will still shine a light another way. But if we just say, hey,

we're withdrawing, that means we're taking the light out. There will be no light in government. So we have to, we have to, in what we have and the time we have, we have to affect, shine, and touch, impact every area of life that we can. It says for the earth is the lords and the fullness thereof. We have to do that. He said, go. He didn't say, stay back. Because if we don't go forward, we're going to, if we don't fight it now in the public square, we're going to fight it at our doorstep. If we don't go to it, it's going to come to us. But God calls it. He said, the gates of hell will not prevail against you, so we are to be on the offense. Good. Thank you. Thank you. Now, I've said a lot about education tonight, and I have a vested

interest in that, and I believe that's the calling that God has in my life. But I would like to know do you think that education will make a difference? Christian education can make a difference, or is it a peripheral thing that we're talking about tonight? But you're literally making a difference tonight. That's a fact. It's extraordinary. Thank you for this invitation. Thank you for giving us this platform.

But Jonathan, please. Yeah. You know, the Bible says, train up the child. If you don't do this, you know, if you don't do that, if you don't have education, that you're cutting off the link. There's no future. There's no future there if there's no transmission of it. So it's crucial.

And it's amazing because if you look at, I mean, the American school system was founded for the gospel. The public school system was founded for the glory of God. Now look at it. You know, some many probably don't remember, but in the early 60s, that's when they took out. The Bible took out prayer. And look what's coming now.

Look at what's come in. When you take away God, the vacuum is going to stay. you're going to have something else come in. So at the same time notice, the same time where there's threats as never before to Christian education. There are laws which have passed will put every Christian school on the defense to survive. That's why it is so crucial because if you don't do it, the next generation is going to be lost. And the other thing is, the same time that look what they're indoctrinating the children into in public schools

and they're trying to cut off Christian schools. Well, that tells you, if the battle is there, that tells you there must be something very important because the enemy does not waste his ammunition. I was going to say, to add to that, I realized only a few years ago that I had never learned because I didn't go to a Christian school and Yale University is at this point

not only not Christian, but effectively anti-Christian and, you know, aggressively secular. So it was only a few years ago that I really understood the story of America and how American-style self-government and liberty is unavoidably inextricably intertwined with virtue and faith. There's no way around it. It's not a perspective.

It's an absolute reality. It's like math. You cannot have liberty on the American model without robust expressions of faith, without virtue inculcated, usually in communities of faith. And I realized nobody in America except kids at Day Spring and a handful of other Christian schools are getting this stuff. And so I put it in my book, if you can keep it. And I would do anything to get that book into the hands of every high school kid in America.

I was just talking to one of your board members about it. Because precisely because we have abdicated doing this on any level, including, unfortunately, in some Christian school, schools, we are exactly where we are. You could not get people to vote for socialism and cultural Marxism unless you had spent decades not teaching them what liberty is and how it works. Yeah. And I have three boys. We have three boys. And we're in New Jersey. And New Jersey has passed laws where they are indoctrinating children directly against God, I mean, in the most dramatic way. We cannot put our children there. You know, it would be like leading our children to stumble. We can't do that. So we are dependent on Christian schools. And so we, one of, our largest part

of our giving this year was to Christian schools because that is so crucial. I mean, crucial, crucial. That should be for every, every parent should be considering that if they can afford it. And either way, they've got to do something. Amen. One last question. Have, and it's for both of you to answer this. Have you gotten pushed back from your positions, your stands, whether it's with the Harbinger books and so forth, or just in your radio program and your podcast, I know that, Eric, you put a lot of things out there and so forth.

So how has that affected you personally? And what effect does that have on you? Well, I think you're right. Well, it's been astonishing. to see people that I think of as friends, as Christian brothers and sisters, effectively disagree with most of what we've said this evening. Completely take a different attitude. Think that you can somehow be Christian and woke or Christian and pro-BLM,

which is Marxist or pro-socialist or apolitical. A-political really means pro-communist, let's be honest. There's no way you can be genuinely apolitical. or communism will come in. It's the natural way. Liberty, the title of my book, is if you can keep it, because Franklin rightly understood

that there is no way to have liberty and self-government on the American model unless we, the people, actively keep it by giving money to the right things, by not giving money to the wrong things, by doing everything that's necessary, teaching our kids and on and on and on.

and it is vital that we do these things or what we have goes away. And so because of this, I have been increasingly vocal, not because I want to, because I don't really like losing friends. I don't like losing speaking engagements, but we have a very strange culture right now where many Christians are playing the game of saying, well, we don't want to be political, we don't want to be this, we don't want to be that. If the house weren't burning, I wouldn't be saying fire, but the house is burning. And I have not made a career of speaking up. But in the last four or five years, what I have seen has been absolutely astonishing to me. And it's dismaying to see supposed Christians not understand this and think that anybody who talks about some of the things I talk about is somehow being divisive.

or something. It's almost comical, and only because I have some friends who don't see it that way, that I can see it almost as comical. But why should any of us expect we shouldn't pay a price? If Bonhofer can go to his death, if Nathan Hale

can go to his death, if innumerable people through space and time have gone to their deaths and suffered for what is right, how could we ever even consider not doing what is right because we also know Jesus defeated death. So we literally have nothing to be afraid of. And so I have felt emboldened and I continue to feel emboldened because of folks

like you and folks like this. And I want to be honest and say that what you all do and say, it means everything. I couldn't do what I do if it weren't for you. And I want to just say, that the conversation with Rabbi Kahn is so wonderful that I think after everybody reads his books, I want to go on my radio program maybe in a month or something and continue the conversation that we started here tonight because there's so much more and it's just so important.

When I, when I, I've been in ministry for a good while, but when I wrote The Harbinger, more people knew me and I suddenly got all this, I got great things, but I also wasn't so used to all. the attacks, but that's just the way it is. If I wasn't doing anything, if I wasn't affecting things, then I'm not going to get that. But the thing is that we have to, especially in the times that we're in now, we have to be ready for that. The Lord said, do not fear man. Do not fear rejection.

It doesn't matter. That doesn't matter. You only fear God who loves you, and that's it. It doesn't matter what they think or not. You're going to do what's right. We only have one shot at this life. And we have to do that. If we're going to live our life being concerned or fear, then we're in trouble. But we get to. to a point. It's like a blessed point where you finally say, you know what, that's it. I don't care anymore. I'm going to be pushed to that point, but that's where greatness comes from. That's where it goes. Right now, there is an attempt to silence the voice of God's people all over. I had put something on the web a message to Joe Biden. And for the first, we got banned,

shadow banned by YouTube. Then they ended up relenting, putting it back, but they do their thing. But the thing is that that's a sign that whatever you're doing, there's something good in it. And the thing is that if we don't speak, if we just say, well, let's keep our neck out of it, like they did, like when Hitler was rising, then you're giving the victory to the enemy and you're ending your space. We have to stand for God no matter what it takes, you know, what it happens. With the enemy, you know, when all this opposition comes, you know what the Lord said? He said, actually, leap for joy and rejoice because great is your reward in heaven. So the thing is that it actually encourages me, because you know,

Because I know I'm doing something right, and I know that if the enemy is against me, then God's for me. And if I'm doing something right, that means I've got to keep going. I've got to do more of it. I've got to do more of it. Because there's something, and that's when you're being attacked by the enemy, you're being attacked. It means there's something really good at the end of it, but you've got to keep going to see that victory. So listen, I'd love to be like Paul. I'd love to be like Elijah, all of us, but we've got to be like that.

That's what we have to do, to do that. And the other, the last thing is that, and Eric was alluding to it, is the Lord, listen, he called us. He called us. He said, follow me. You're my disciple. And we have the great high honor to be the disciple of the Messiah. He chose us. It's an honor.

It's one thing to be with the Lord when everybody's saying, yeah, it's a Christian society. That's easy. But it doesn't mean that much. But when you stand for him, when we stand for him when it's hard, we stand for him when they're getting opposition, that's what he's saying, well done, my faithful servant, well done my bride. That's what it's about. That's when you shine.

That's when it counts. That's when it makes a difference. So what a high honor we have to be disciples of the Lord. and he paid the greatest cost for us, we can certainly do for him as he has done for us. Amen. Folks, you've been listening to my special conversation with Rabbi Jonathan Kahn.

It was part of the Remember America speaker series conducted for the Day Spring Christian Academy in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. And now, ladies and gentlemen, Ask Mataxis, another episode, go! Hello, Eric Mataxis and crew. Thank you for all you do to deliver excellent content. I really enjoyed your recent conversation with Anne Graham Lotz about prayer.

Reading her new book will be a joy. It was refreshing to hear you two talking about writing down your prayers. Through the years, I have felt a little lacking due to this practice to ensure my concentration during my quiet times. Hope your genuine conversation will encourage many of us to pursue praying with consistency and journaling prayers to help our wandering minds stay. focus blessings from Susan P. Oh, I love these questions. Well, yeah, the conversation with Anne Graham Lotz,

obviously you can watch it on our YouTube channel or you can go to MetaxusTalk.com and listen to it. But she was talking about writing down her prayers. And I thought to myself, there are certain strains in evangelicalism where people act like all prayer must be spontaneous. And if I write it down, that's bad. A written prayer, whether it's in the,

you know, Episcopal prayer book or whether it is in another book of prayers or whether it's the Lord's Prayer, which is written down in the Bible, that can serve as a template. And there's nothing wrong with a written prayer. Now, if you read it really quickly,

like you don't care what it means, like it's a magic spell and just go, Our Father, We're in Heaven, that'll be the name. That's not a prayer. That's nonsense. But if you pray it, our father who aren't in heaven, that's written down, but you make it your own when you pray it.

I think that that's really an important thing. Bonhofer wrote prayers. By the way, that's a good opportunity to mention my Bonhofer book. It's 10 years anniversary, new edition. It's got a kind of funky cover to it. But Bonhofer in his life, he wrote prayers out for prisoners. When he was at Tegel prison. They would ask him, would you write a prayer for me, pastor? He was really a pastor in the prison while he was there. And I think that there's nothing wrong with writing down a prayer if it helps you to focus or using someone else's written prayer. There are devotional books of prayers that you can buy. I really think that we have to be really careful just because it's written down doesn't mean you need to read it like the heathen, you know, like read it like just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

I mean, I've seen people do that my whole life, whether in the Greek church or another churches, you know, like they're not praying. They're just reciting. And people do the same thing with any prayer that's written down. You can just do it to do it, you know, with the Hail Mary or the Our Father.

But you can take those same prayers and pray them specifically and personally to God. and I recommend to those of you who struggle with prayer. I think I said it in my interview with Anne Graham Lotz, that, you know, the Lord's Prayer. Imagine if somebody asked Jesus, how do you pray? Wouldn't it be great if we knew his answer? Well, they did, and we know his answer. It's called the Lord's Prayer.

And you can use that as a template. It's written down, but you make it your own. And you can noodle off on some of the sentences. You can say, you know, are thy will be done. Thy kingdom come. And you can, you can ruminate on that in your own words. Thanks for listening, folks. It is our joy to be with you.

Tell your friends about this program. Please subscribe to us on YouTube. Don't forget. Hey, the folks, we often do Ask Mataxis segments are not often enough. And we try to read letters. And we get a couple of good questions for Ask Mataxis. But Albin, you had a letter someone sent in. People sent in the loveliest letters.

Read this. Yeah, this one's really lovely. They didn't form it in the, it's not in the form of a question. But Melissa D from Cranberry, New Jersey, she says, hi, Eric and everybody. I listen regularly and I'm so grateful for your witness, your humor and your musical tastes. I so enjoy your show. It brings me joy, reignites my faith, and keeps me laughing and dancing. Thank you and blessings to you and your families.

That's from Melissa. Thank you. Dancing. Isn't Dancing of the devil? What? What? You know, I'll be honest, we get a lot of sweet letters. And I hope I've said this at other times, but I'll say it again. It means so much to me. Thank you for saying that. My goodness, Cranberry, New Jersey. I don't know where that is, but thank you. We have a number of question questions. I have one here in front of me. Let's just call this question number four. I love this. These are just random questions from people. people. Hello, greetings from Florida. First question.

The Bible says, judge not less ye be judge. How does that apply to Christian men and women who are actual judges in the courtroom? Ooh. How do you respond to that? Like, there's like eight responses to that, and I can't think of which one I want to pay first. There's a book of judges in the Bible. Actually, that's hilarious.

I would not have been, I would not have thought of that. Thank you, Albin. You're welcome. That's what I'm here for, hilarious once in a while. This is what I find funny and also disturbing. There are many people who read the Bible wrongly. They seem to not understand that if you just pull a scripture out, that scripture might contradict the full counsel of the rest of the Bible.

You have to be careful how you read things. because not everything that's in the Bible can be pulled out of its context. So when Jesus has judged, not lest ye be judged, it is obvious from the rest of the Bible that there are judges, that there is appropriate judgment, that Moses appointed people, that, you know, the body, the nation of Israel had people appointed as judges and stuff. So it's a point. Oftentimes Jesus makes points and others in scripture. They're making points the way human beings make points.

You're trying to make a point. So when Jesus has judged, not lest ye be judged, he doesn't mean don't ever judge anything because obviously it's our job as parents, as citizens, as spouses to look at a situation and make a judgment. But he's talking against the idea of being too quick to judge where you forget that, and it says it in other parts,

that in the measure that you use to judge, that will be used against you. So have grace. There have been a couple of cases in the news not too long ago of people doing unbelievably embarrassing things on Zoom or whatever. And I think to myself, where does grace come in? Like, is it appropriate to howl at that? if that was a good friend of yours, would you howl at that publicly?

Or would you say, wow, I feel horrible. I feel sad. That's called having grace. Now, when it comes to matters of the law, you know, you can have both. You can have grace and judgment, right? Somebody steals something. They may get prosecuted for that, but you can still decide to love them and come alongside them and try to help them with their problems.

So you're having grace, but there is judgment. Sometimes, here's an example, the guy who tried to kill Pope John Paul II, he was in prison. The Pope visited him in prison and prayed with him and loved him and forgave him in his heart. That doesn't mean that the law didn't judge him and condemn him to serve out a sentence because he was a threat to society. So judgment is a complicated thing. And we have to have a real sense of what the Bible is saying generally and how the world works to put that in context. So when Jesus says, judge not let he be judged, he's talking about people who walk around judging all the time and forget that they are being judged and that God will judge them and that God will show them the same grace that they show to others. And if you don't have an understanding of grace and of your own sin,

then you're going to be harsh. That's what Jesus is talking about. Uh-huh. Okay. Well, I think we have time for one more. Okay. Okay. The same person writes, secondly, a monster like Ted Bundy who murdered about 36 women,

what would be his fate? Would God condemn him for the crimes he committed or forgive him because Bundy being a sociopath was devoid of compassion and empathy for his very. victims and quote unquote couldn't help it. Let me firmly say, I don't know. We really don't know. These things are very complicated.

We know that God is a God of love and grace beyond anything we can imagine. We also know that he is a judge. And the Bible is pretty clear that we will be judged. But the fact is that if we, put our faith in Jesus, this is according to the Bible, okay, I'm not making this up, man. If we put our faith in Jesus, he takes the rap for our crimes and we get to go to heaven though we don't deserve it. Now, what happens once we get to heaven is another story. You know, if you live your life in a certain way, it talks about getting mansions in heaven. It talks about, you

So there's, it's a little complicated. But what happens to somebody like, like Ted Bundy, I want to say very firmly, I don't know. Hey, everybody. This is the Eric Mattaxas show with my sidekick slash producer, Albin Seder. Oh, wait a minute. I thought you were the sidekick. No, I could be. I could play the role of side.

Listen, I'm very versatile. People don't believe me. I was talking to Kevin Sorbo. He's doing these movies. I said, Kevin, give me a part. I don't care what it is. I will show you. You want to know what acting is?

I will show you. Hey, Sorbo. Hey, Sorbo, I'm talking to you. You could be Kevin's body double. I could do it. I'm so ripped. It's not even funny. Don't joke about those things. Here's what we need to talk about real quick. Let's do it.

A couple things. Okay. There are still people not signed up for our newsletter. What? Yep. And I was talking to some friends yesterday and they said, where do we find these videos? And I got really, you know, smokester coming out of my ears. And I said, hey, hey, you get my email, don't you?

if you open up the email, every email, we send it out like about twice a week, sometimes more, has all the previous videos. So you're saying, when did Eric have Lou Dobbs on? Where do I find that? When did Eric have Mike Lindell on? When did Eric have Milo Yanopoulos on? When did it? You have to subscribe to Eric Mataxis.com.

That's the first announcement. The second announcement, we keep talking about people going to MyPillow.com and MyStore.com. My books are mostly available at MyStore.com. Use the code Eric. Well, guess what? What? We have a new sponsor called Nutramedics. Oh, yeah.

N-U-T-R-A, Nutrametics, M-E-D-I-X. Nutrametics.com. Nutrametics.com, you also have to use the code Eric with them. But if you use melatonin, reservatrol, stevia, which is a sweetener, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D. Like, this is all the stuff, magnesium that I take anyway, right? A whole alphabet, there is. Curcumin. They've got it all, folks. And I just want to say, if you use any of that stuff, my attitude, the reason I'm so excited about Neutrametics and I'm excited to work with them, they give 50% of all of their profits to missions. Did you hear that? 50% to missions and to similar charities. And I'm going to find out what charities. And they have a goal to give away $100 million by the end of this decade and to put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s that's their goal they've

already accomplished the first one and the second one yes uh and by if you by the way if you missed that uh you can look it up on micro a fish at the library but they did put a man on the moon in the 60s and good good neutermatics is going to give away a hundred million by the end of this decade it's at 2030 and i thought 2030 that's like 2050 right and then i realized oh it's a few years away Yeah. So, but you have to use the code Eric. But honestly, most of their stuff, just look them up online. You can read their story. We're going to have the founder on this program. But it's hard not for me to be excited because I think I buy all this stuff anyway from somebody. I might as well buy it from nutrometics.com and 50% of their profits goes to things that I believe in. Yep. Right? Yeah. So there you go. You can't lose. You cannot lose. Is there anything else that we need to talk about?

Everybody, all of the Walk corporations, Coca-Cola, which I'll never drink again, Delta Airlines, all of these folks are lining up saying that voter integrity is racist. Actually, they are racist. I don't have time to break it down.
