I am unachanged. What about you? So one of the great benefits of having record cold temperatures is that duck season is open in states where it's not open in Louisiana. I mean, my dream life would actually be just to start in Canada and follow the ducks all the way down. But you got to remember, we're the last state on the first state. the North American continent

with the last state. We're far as you can go. The blue winged till going into Mexico but most of them, they come down. Louisiana is the end of the line. Well, even the mallards, they'll stop short of South Louisiana. That's right. And these ducks are migrating from

Canada, the Canadian prairies. That's why I sing Canadian National Anthem never missing a lick when I look up to the heavens and I see these Canadian mallards coming. But anyway, I do that. Jay's figured out that the migration was about mid-continent because getting reports from duck hunters who are saying they're here, they're not here. Well, he figured out they were about mid-continent. So Jase tells me the ducks have migrated down mid-continent.

We're down on the end of the continent. We need to go north because the ducks have come south and we need to meet. in the middle. You understand what I'm saying? Well, actually, I called you and said, I'm headed to Kansas because this cold front, I think the duck's basically what he just said. But I didn't think Phil would want to go.

I don't know what. Phil was like, it reminded me that scene on Outlawed Josie Wales, you know, when he said, I reckon I'll be coming with you. Yeah. So I'm like, okay, saddle up, partner. Used to, we would drive to wherever. we went to because in hope we get there with a raggedy rig we were driving these days jays said well we'll

drive up you know take about nine 10 hours to get up there oh whoa easy now i said look it's a new day a new day is on let's just catch an airplane and do like the ducks we'll fly north they're flying south we can be there where they are in an hour yeah so why not just go an hour instead of fight the traffic in a vehicle, let's just jump on a car. Can I? Can I? So everybody around there was flying. The mallards were flying. We were flying.

Everybody flying. Can I tell you? Meeting in the middle. Can I tell you the real story? Phil said, hey, I got a free plane. I got free hours on the plane. I never said the word free. I heard the word free.

No, I said Ms. Kay said she's got a plane already booked the money and all. And I thought, well, good night. Phil, I heard the word free. We're going to steal that plane, right. I said, well, good. Good, I'm in. To look, I told me, I was like, well, Phil wants to fly, and he's got a free plane. And so, look, here's what's funny.

Planes are never free, Jason. The next day, Kay calls me and says, oh, I'm excited you and Phil are going hunting. Now, how are we splitting this plane? And I said, no, Phil said it's free. 50, 50. Nothing's for free, baby. She said, I'll send you a bill. When Ms. Kay hung on the phone, she told me as soon as the phone went,

she said, that cheap skate, she trying to weasel out of that. He said, you know, you're both going to duck out. So Jay's went all AOC and mom went all Trump. Trying to save a few bucks. No free planes. Well, when I hung up. I think you found it settled, Ms. Casey, said, what about a third? That was her idea.

I said, Kay, I'll pay for the plane. But when I, when she said, no, we'll just do a third. I said, oh, since you said it was free. I was like, you do whatever your conscience to lend you today. I can tell you this, whatever we paid was well worth the money. Well, it was. Because the mallard ducks, they came out of the,

from the four winds, and I mean. Well, plus, we were, I mean, sometimes it makes sense because we were reporting a podcast the day y'all left, and then we were doing something else the day you got out. The idea was to get these maller ducks and fool them enough so that they would descend from 3,000 feet flying by. We wanted them at 20 yards. The first day what we had.

The first day we didn't see as many ducks because it was so cold. In Kansas, I mean, it freezes. It was raw. It was cold. So we hunted a river. It was a great experience. We saw it. We had this huge buck come right up in front of us, you know.

And then the ducks, the whole. we were hunting, the ducks kept going to somewhere else. And I was like, where are they going? He's like, why? There's nothing back there. I was like, well, they're not lighting on dry ground. So I'm the type of person. When I see something like that going on, I want to go see what it is.

I was like, is that your property? He's like, well, yeah. So we get out of a map, you know, Google map in the blind. And we look and there's a little pine. I said, well, there's a pine on your property that you don't even know you own. We're discovering duck habitat with the owner of the property. And he didn't even know. He didn't even know what was back there.

So he's like, well, he said, you can't go there. I think he knew it was there, but he just never had food. Well, he didn't think it would big enough to hold ducks. And he's like, well, something's happened. He's like, but you can't go back there. There's a creek you got to cross. Well, the next thing I know, he's got a trapper buddy of his who traps. And we're hauling a boat.

We cross the creek. You know, I'm walking half a mile. And so when we get to the pond, the be of ducks just, that's where they were going. ducks poured out of there. They had made, they had kept it unfrozen because there was so many ducks. And what was weird about it is that I look up under the ice and I see a snake. And I'm thinking, look, this snake froze to death. Well, I didn't know that my guide, the trapper,

Elroy or whatever his name was, he, all of a sudden... You have a guy named Elroy? He's a trapper. They don't name... You don't, you don't, if you're a trapper... trapper you don't have a name or this normal that dude was highly intelligent he flew he was a airplane pilot for united airlines well that's what i'm saying you know what i mean a row he was on the jetsons but he checks a few beaver on the side i'm thinking a airport air fair

air air this guy was this he was he was one of them now so look we he's tapping the ice because i was like there's a snake that's frozen that you know that was dumb he should have found him a hole you know i'm thinking the snake's dead well he he taps the eye and I'm looking like this snake's not dead and it was huge I mean big around under the ice

yeah so he grabs the snake well the snake comes a lot and he just reaches down and grabs him by the head I'm like I'm out of here whoa whoa what are you doing you're thinking cotton mouth that's what I was thinking but I didn't realize

in Kansas they don't have cotton mouths you know because you wouldn't ever want to do that so then all of a sudden he turns into the snake whisper and is telling me oh no you can tell by looking at the pupils of his eyes and I'm like, well, I would never get that close to a snake anyway, because I shoot and then identify it. He looks bad, but he's what we call down here in the south a water rattler.

Yeah. But he's non-poisonous. Oh, like the ones we have in the river. You see it. Oh, yeah. But he's a big old thick. Yeah, but they're scary looking. I don't like messing around with that.

And they'll bite you. So we left the river, you know, when we go to, you hunt all day because they don't fly to the warmest part of the day. And we had a good hunt the first day. But the second day, they came from. in the fore. We literally saw the migration happen, and it was in the middle of the day. It was probably what, noon?

Noon. You looked up, and they literally, there were ducks in every direction coming, and we had a little problem for the first 30 minutes, getting them in the hole because our decoy spread wasn't right. I enjoyed the banter between two hard-headed guys in their 40s. Me and my buddy. Jason. I'm 50 now.

He's 50. Yeah. It's 50. a good night. But you're making me seem old, Jay. But the banner, they were back and forth, the old dog. I'm just sitting in the middle there, listen to them. And every five minutes, they'd go rearrange the decart spread, and they'd go back out there again, and they'd go back and back, back and back saying, I don't know what to wrong, but they finally figured it out. And we looked up, and they

started coming. But you think about though, Barrett, 20 yards. The reason Jay's his friends were Barrett, he's like Jay. He's a northern version of Jay's. of every little thing when you're looking out there, hard-headed, arguing with a signpost. I'm saying that Barrett is the northern version.

Both of them were trying to get into the mind of a matter of duck so that they could fool them. But it was worth watching. I enjoyed it. Did we pull it off? The first thought, look, every time the ducks would come and not come in,

we immediately went out and do the decoys. And he's like, I think we are to, you know, move them here, move them there. I'm like, then when we finally got it right. Then when we finally got it right,

then it seemed easy. Yeah. I like the argument, though. You got to try to figure it out. You can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. You know I met Barrett back when we used to have phones attached to the walls and we would answer them? Because you didn't know who was calling. He called because he was intrigued by our faith because we've never been ashamed of our faith.

That's what we're doing here today. And he was a big duck hunter, but he didn't have anybody that likes to duck hunt. and he owns his property. And so he called, which is now that I know him, is something he would never do. But he was just intrigued, and he called us. He's like, I'd like for y'all to come hunting up here. And we'd get a lot of those requests,

and we very seldom would do it. But we were on a trip somewhere else, and we didn't have a good hunt, and we were heading home. But I put his number in a notebook just in case we wanted to check it out. And so I started to call him, you know, and I was asking him for him. no and but then I said you know I'm going to do it so I call him and he's like oh I got him you know

come on and then when I hung up but Phil just said no I just don't because Barrett's kind of a high strong guy you know well Barrett calls back and I forgot where we were and he stuck his phone outside his camp and there were thousands of Mallard's hollering and then he and jay showed me a picture of it and I had been saying I too far ago when I started all that, I said, book it, book the trip. Book it, Dan, oh. But the bottom line is, all these years have passed since the apostles wrote what I am fixing to quote.

This is Luke the apostle. He's telling a story. Underneath that story is how were the Gentiles, that's all of us sitting at this table here and out there in the world. You say, you know, our salvation is from the Jews. Jews, you say, well, when were the Gentiles brought in and how were they brought in? This is the story of how we received the grace of God handed to us because the Jews thought it was just for them, you know, and they were, boy, you're talking about racism. It was going on back then between Jew and Gentile.

So God in his mercy shows Peter a Jew, he gives him a picture of the way it's fixed. him to be because they had all these food laws under the law of Moses the gentiles a bunch of heathens they didn't food with food laws at all so he sent him a story it was about noon the following day as they were approaching the city they're on a trip where yeah this is acts chapter 10 nine and following yeah i like it became hungry and he wanted something to eat and while the meal was being prepared he fell into a trance he saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down by its four corners. The sheet contained all kinds of, now listen to this list, ladies and gentlemen, because last week, one of one of you ladies was mouted and off.

I don't read the, I don't have a cell phone. Someone gave me this information that we had a naysayer because when I was with the president, I said, well, if you're pro-god, and you're pro-America and you're pro-gun and pro-duck-hunting, I said, that's all I want out of life. So I'm behind you. I will vote for you. And she said, the naysayer, I love you, darling, wherever you are. The naysayer said, I got everything pro-god, pro-American, but I didn't get the duck part.

I don't understand where he was going with the duck. So listen up, and I'll show you about the ducks. Peter, he falls into a trance, heaven opens, and here comes a movie screen, a giant one descending from the heavens, and it contained all kinds of four-footed animals, which would include bears. Was this the first movie? I guess it was.

Yeah, first movie ever recorded. And deer, four feet, squirrels, four. four feet, whatever, moose, four feet, four footers. It's on the movie screen, as well as reptiles of the earth. And listen, and birds of the air, now we're talking ducks, geese, pheasants, quail, doves. We're talking birds. And a voice coming out of heaven said, get up, Peter. Kill and eat.

A new day has just dawned from the law of Moses. Now everything is fair game. Now, Peter's arguing with God, I've never eaten anything impure or unclean. They were very, very regimented. No pork, no catfish and certain birds. The voice spoke to him a second time. You don't call anything impure that God has made clean. From that, he was wondering about the vision.

God contacts him, send some Gentiles to him, and they end up, Peter asks, can anyone keep these people from being baptized? with water, because the spirit just descended on them like it did in Acts chapter 2 and coming out of the heavens. It's a wild story about how God brought the Gentiles in via showing Peter that there would be no favoritism toward anything. In fact, Peter said, I now realize how, this is verse 34 of Acts 10. I now realize after that vision, God does not show favoritism, but it accepts men from every nation who fear him and who do what is right, no matter what they're eating.

That's the point. He sent him that visit. This is the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who's Lord of all. You know what's happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the baptism at John preached. He goes through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the story that they wrote down regarding Jesus' life, his death, burial, and resurrection. how God and only Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, how he went around doing good, by the way, this is the code we should live by as members of the kingdom,

because the king, he went around doing good, his lifestyle, and healing all those who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him, we point people to Jesus, therefore they're healed from the power of the devil, and you say, what do you do in between that time? we just do good that's all and these people the first gentiles were added to the kingdom out i want to get that and the and the rest is history that's all right somebody's calling in running her mouth again probably you're smart now that's that woman calling in she said now i get the duck

because birds of the air honey i've got orders from headquarters by the way if it walks crawls, flies, or swims, I have been given full authority from the God who made the birds and the animals and us and the cosmos, full authority, kill them and eat them. So you remember

the woman from Time Magazine was down a few years ago. She was a vegan. Yep. And she was, and gun control and some other things, but she was doing a piece on you for Time magazine. Yep. She was, she is an Aussie, but she's lived in New York for 20 years.

Yep. And so it was really interesting because... Good woman. And so, and did a fair piece on you. I like vegans because it's more for me. She was anti-meat. She was anti-meat. But it was really interesting because dad kind of made his case.

He was like, look, I don't, you know, I don't care if you eat vegetables or whatever you want to eat. Great. Just don't mind if I eat meat, you know, because, you know, we're coexisting here. We're back to Peter here. Yeah. So you... Oh, that's awesome.

You and her bonded over a... a biscuit with mayhaw jelly because you were showing her all the stuff we make from the land and and that i was i was showing her that not only is there deer meat squirrel meat duck meat and we're going out in the wild don't forget frogs frogs frogs fish and we're harvesting those things god says love birds of the air beast of the earth have a fish or the reptiles of the earth things that some people would eat, everything is created by God and is good to eat. No more food laws.

Especially in Louisiana. She had had a self, she was trying to self-impose a food law that she observed on me. Right. Because you asked her, you were like, is this for some religious person? She said, I don't know, no. I mean, so she didn't have any preference for herself even.

And then so you were saying, well, look, don't put it on me. So it impacted her. And so you took her. I remember you took her in the, I was there, you took in the kitchen, she ate the may hall, this is great. I told her the may hall came from the same woods that the ducks and the deer. Because they eat that. Which is a berry.

I gave her two examples. It's a berry, yeah, yeah. I said, do you not want me to eat meat because it's not biblical? I said, because I have Acts chapter 10 here. And she said, oh, no, no, no. She didn't care about that. I'm not a religious person. I said, well, what about the Constitution of the United States?

Does that forbid me eating meat? She said, no. I said, so let me get this right. You woke up one morning and you decided that you were going to not eat meat anymore and you were also going to bind what you bound yourself with on me. I said, girl, I said, I don't like golf. I said, but I don't mind if people play it. I don't like it.

So here's where the story went, which I found really interesting. So I'm the contact person. She leaves here. She's in town a couple of days. She leaves. She goes back to New York. She sends me an email. She said, thanks for her arranged and everything. The piece will be out whenever, whenever. And she said, and tell your dad that, you know, he really had some interesting points I hadn't thought about. And so I was really curious. And so I went to Cotton, which is a local restaurant here in town. And they served duck

wraps, which are pond-raised duck. They're not wild-dove. But still ducks with a little piece of bacon around. Muscovy. Yeah, Muscovy, with a little bacon wrapped around, a little cream cheese in the middle. She said, and I was intrigued. And so I tried one. and you know he's right they're delicious so so i think you kind of won her over i mean i don't know that she's eating meat but at least she was willing to say you know that old guy's not as crazy as he looks you know he's like an aired dell dog he ain't as dumb as he looks well maybe so i didn't hold it against her no and she did a nice piece and and contacted me two years later to write a piece for her about parenting she said you know one of the things i noticed about your family is you guys have a

multi-generational connection to one another. That impacts her because she's not even married. And so she's like, would you write an article? It was at Thanksgiving, which is this time of year. She said, would you write an article about how you achieve that? I said, I would love to. And talked about how generational faith works in through family. There's something therapeutic about living off the land and providing.

It is. I mean, my wife always, you know, she was a city girl, and she wouldn't need any kind of wild game. but, you know, once she would try it, she had had the same response. Like, oh, my goodness. It's just life-changing. And now I can tell she views it as a respectful thing that I can, in a clean way, go instead of just going the grocery store and realizing, oh, you know,

hamburger meat is not saran wrap. You know, humans did that, that you can actually go take a deer, harvest it, clean it, and be eating it within 15, 20 minutes and it's greater than anything you can ever eat in a restaurant. For all you listeners out there, just remember this. This is Romans 121. Don't forget this. Old writings, 2,000-year-old writings written in the 50s, 50th A.D.

Although they knew God, the human race, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, which we do both when we go hunting and harvest the animals. Their thinking became futile. Their foolish hearts were darkened. You say, how did that manifest itself? Although they claim to be wise. Well, there you go. Their authority on everything, including harvesting animals.

They became fools. They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man, birds, animals, and represents. They worshiped, therefore God gave them over to gross sexual immorality, and it says they worshipped and served created things rather than the creator. That's exactly what we do in modern day in the United States of America. That is exactly where they are, their minds. Because they thought they thought they all came on a basis that were eating our ancestors. which would seem weird.

I would give you that. If we did come from animals, well, yeah, that would be weird. What they're saying, Alice, we are animals. Why would we turn on each other? I think that's where it all went down. It's amazing that they'll kill their own children, but they get mad at me for getting animals.

Pretty amazing. And eating them. And eating them. Although, you know, everything's out there. We've talked about before you walk in a grocery store and, you know, all that stuff got there because, you know, it had to be harvested. But people just don't, don't, they're not doing the reality.

It's not a reality check, you know. I mean, look, I married a woman who, and she was literally not putting the animal with the package. It just was like in some kind of weird denial. I'm like, well, you see me clean a frog and you're like, oh, I can't eat that. I was like, if you saw any other animal harvested that you buy in a grocery store, but since it's neatly packaged, they're like, oh, well, it's not, it's not, that didn't happen. That's right.

The metric tons of, millions of metric tons of beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish, millions of metric tons a day. It's just being killed, processed, packaged, and he ends up in the supermarket to just say, that's not the way to roll. It's not logical. Well, and we don't realize how spoiled we are here because, you know, I go to Africa every other year or so for some different, you know, projects that we support. And, you know, you roll into Liberia, which is where I'm going next week. And it's just there is no choice of that.

I mean, in other words, somebody, you see a few chickens running around and somebody will go out and, you know, everything, there's no store with everything in it. At the same time, they have doves flying everywhere, but the government won't let them shoot on. It's crazy. If God said, you know, people are starving to death. If God said one time, all he has to say is at one time, do not kill and eat at any time, birds, animals, reptiles, fish, do not kill and eat them. I wouldn't kill them and eat them. You'd be a vegan.

I'd be a vegan. All he had to say is one time. I was talking to that missionary last night from Africa. What's his name? Isaac. Isaac. And I said, yeah, but we were just, I was waiting on a meeting. And I was like, do you have a book?

frogs you know he's oh yeah yeah I said well do you eat them and he said yes and he he referred to axe to it oh did it yeah and he's a very good very good he's the giants you know and I was like you should go to Africa and I was like well I just might do that you know I mean we were like planting a frog hunt overseas so you didn't just tag in with me and then you could know a frog hunt that river but I got to tell you does it's it's not for the well then he started talking about the black mama by. Oh, yeah.

They got some bad. Boa constrictors. And I was like, yeah. They got the king cobra there too. While you're there, Al. Just a little briefing to our listeners. Let's see. Where is that?

Thessalonians. Let's see. You know where it is on the page. If you can find it on the page. I know where it is on the page. It's over. That's why a dad can only have replica of Bibles. It's Paul's Timothy.

Now listen to this carefully. For you listeners out there, you say, well, is there any other things about the animal world of vegans and all that? You got to remember, you say, you don't dislike these people. No, that hold to their own self-imposed food laws. We love everybody. We love them. Look, the spirit clearly says that in later times, well, this is about 50 or 60 AD,

somewhere in later times, this will happen. In later times, some will have been. abandon the faith, that's where we are, kill animals and eat them, and they will follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. You're like, this is rough. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. We're not that rough on the self-imposed worship. But watch, they do two things. They forbid people to marry.

Don't ever do that. Just use your head, their listeners, and say, is there anybody around in America that won't let certain individuals marry? Research it. Get back with me. Don't ever do that. They forbid people to marry, because these are things taught by demons. And they order them to abstain from certain foods.

Uh-oh. you say that's two things you never want to do. Never tell a person if they want to marry, say you can't marry. You have to remain celibate. You are a hypocritical liar according to... I'm assuming you're telling my like some religious... First Timothy four is where I am.

Therefore, when they abstain from Tolum, their people order them to abstain from certain foods. Everybody going to be a vegan. Well, God created to be received with Thanksgiving foods by those who believe and know the truth. Now, here's the point. Everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected in the food line. If it's received with Thanksgiving because it's consecrated by the word of God in prayer. We thank God every time we sit down for a meal, whether it's turkey,

duck, deer, fish are just beans and rice. We thank God for all the foodstuffs. And nothing is not allowed. Not one single thing. Everyone in America needs to get that in their head and live by it because life would be far more peaceful. And in my case, in our case, I would say far more enjoyable. So, Dad, you're not of the opinion of the, MSNBC host that said Thanksgiving is a questionable holiday.

Because the turkey died? Well, she didn't elaborate, but she just said it's a question. I'm assuming it's because of the Indians. I don't know. Turkey's out. I thought the turkey. I think it was the Indians, maybe, and the pilgrims. What they want to do was why would it be questionable to give thanks?

Why about every place that serves seafood for all fried chicken places will be gone, all hamburger joints gone, all steakhouses gone. I mean, go down the list and you want to see a downturn in the economy. Go with this bunch and you got one of gigantic proportions, and it includes a massive starvation worldwide. Well, I'm all in for Thanksgiving, which we're in that season now. And because we do fried turkeys here, which are amazing. They're good.

We do, Dad does a big duck and dressing every year. And I have to tell you. If you ever outlawed duck and dressing, you have missed one of the greatest, greatest meals of all times. And I grew up not liking dressing, and now I love it.

I mean, I can't get enough of it. It's a very, dad's dressing is a wet dressing. And, you know, some people's dressing is dry, but dads is wet. What's the main base for that dressing?

Cornbread? Chicken, duck broth. I know that. Yeah. It's duck broth with yellow cornmeal cooked up into cornbread. Yeah. And then you add onion, celery, bell pepper.

You add the veggies to it. And by the way, except for the duck broth. You sauteed the vegetables, put those in there and your cornbread crumble it all up. Right. And with some rich crackers and regular sautine crackers, crush all that together. And that's the base of it. You have your duck broth and your ducks over here. Which duck fat makes the best broth, right?

It's really, really good. Ducks makes you dressing the flavor. It's supposed to be really good for you. Oh, yeah. That's the duck fat fries. Everyone that eats it, that would turn a vegan, that would turn them to duck. So mom does her sweet potato pies. Yep.

Which are fantastic. Jay, she eats a pie at the first setting. I do. It's like a tradition. She has them all there. Because she makes like a dozen of them. I take one and I just eat it. The whole thing.

The whole thing. He sits down and eats the pie. I know I've seen it in bed. But sweet potatoes, most people don't realize there is an art to making a sweet potato pie. Because I've eaten some, I'm like, yo. Well, it ruined me from any other. Moms are so good. You know, I've had some people, which I probably shouldn't have gone down there for them.

Boy, I tell you why, you should. You know what? I'll go by your rule on this, which is we should all have in our world an open policy on well-cooked food and not-so-good cook food. And I told my wife early on, I was like, look, well, dad told us that. If you're, if it's not good, I'm going to tell you. Food has to be critiqued. It does.

Because once you brag, trying to be kind, once you brag on bad cooking, you're insuring yourself of bad cooking. Oh, they lie from that day on. Yes. They thought you would tell the truth. If it's not good, I tell Ms. Kay, I can't eat it, but if the dogs will.

And if me and the dogs, if we say, no, sir, if the dogs won't eat it and you won't eat it, you say that's why I said. Well, one thing I'll say about dad is, and he's, at least he is not hypocritical, because if you missed it on something, dad's line is, nope. Missed it. Missed it. Missed it on that one. I'm in the same way, if you're going to cook and you're going to and really take some chances on that,

you're going to have some disasters ever so often. But some of the members of my wife's family, they're like, oh, we heard you love sweet potato pie. And so they made one or they bought one. And I'm like, you know, it's hard for me to explain. Once you have good ones. Well, I don't even want to try it because I'm like, so I take a little bite. Nope.

And so then they're like, why don't you like sweet potato pie? I was like, well, there's a difference. My mom has ruined me because this is not that. You like Ms. Kay's sweeped potato pie. So they're crying. Basically, what's your, what? What our audience is hearing is that godliness with contentment, it is great gain.

We're content, we're eating things out of the wild, there's no limits to foodstuffs. If you think about it, there's a certain amount of freedom in that, and self-imposed worship or denial of foodstuffs. it's just not wise. Right. It's just not wise. No, but people can't help it. Me binding a food law on you. Under the 10th commandments and the law of Moses,

food laws were there. It was a strict code. But now all of that is gone. By the way, some of those food laws, I'm convinced. I mean, we just go with it because God said it. But a lot of that was to protect them. I mean, the reason why there was no pork in the desert is because you'd get tricking.

They call some of their stuff comfort foods, and that's what people who miss out on that, you know, they're just, they're angry because they're, I mean, they need a box of chicken wings, you know, it just makes you feel better about life. I'm like, no wonder you're so grumpy and you're blowing the horn at me. You know what I mean? If all I got up ate was celery and broccoli. I don't mind if you want to be a vegetarian, but don't bind it on me. Well, and quit blowing your horn at me.

You know what I mean? And got off your phone. Yeah, anger management. Because I'm over got gravy dripping down my chin. While you're dipping it in your gravy by your driving. So Dad mentioned having the line at the Trump rally. And by the way, I've been wanting a MAGA hat, but I never, I don't know where they sell them. So one shot.

His son sent me a box of him. I mean, why did you tell me? I've been trying to get one for like that. I got some chemical. He sent me. a box that camouflage. Oh, Camouflage.

I love it. So dad finally, somebody in the Trump team gave you this one, Dad, and I knew you never wear it. Yeah, you don't wear a hat. So I got it.

So anyway, I never wear loud clothing, hats, shirts, pants. Are you fixing to give a fashion statement

because this I want to hear. I'm just, I'm just with what I do living on planet Earth, I just don't want to stand out. I'm down in the middle of nowhere with the bright red hat. No, you're not standing out, Phil. You're so normal, Dad.

Nobody would ever. I'm so normal. It seems strange. Phil, you're a cardboard sign and a tin can away from people actually putting money. I'm just saying down in the middle of the woods and a thicker red hat on. You're saying to all the animals and birds, here I am. Well, we talked to the earlier podcast and people standing out. I can literally see Phil in an airport

with thousands of people in five seconds. Oh, that's right. I mean, you're standing out. That's why we can never avoid. I must tell you, boys, it's become somewhat burdensome for me to travel around. I'll give you that.

This pain ain't all I cracked up to me. Exactly is. So Phil's got like a camouflage. What is that gone? Like, would it be a bandana? That's not a bandana. That's not a, you don't roll. it up because it doesn't have too fucking.

I've been wondering where you got that. All I know was this. I pay my taxes. I'm in Romans 13, verse 6. This is also why you pay taxes. It's necessary to submit to the authorities. This is a painful verse, Phil. Not only because of possible punishment,

but also because of conscience. Pay your taxes. obey the people whoever you're operating under, whatever it is, dictatorship, monarchy, you know, whatever, constitutional republic. Give everyone what you owe him. If you owe taxes, pay taxes. If revenue, then revenue.

If respect, then respect. If honor, then honor. And it goes on to say, in the middle of all that, let no debt remain outstanding except the continuing debt to love one another. Just get along with people, and as far as it depends on you, if it's possible, try to do what's right in the eyes of everyone. That's the biblical teaching. So that's where I am. I don't hate them for coming up with all these cockerminian ideas. We've been talking a lot about living in the kingdom of God, but obviously we're still citizens of, in our case, we're United States

citizens. That's correct. Which kicks in some certain responsibilities that Paul basically talked about under the Roman Empire. Jesus said the same thing. You remember when they came to him and they were trying to, you know, trap him about paying taxes because they were like, well, you know, you're a Jew and you're the, you know, but would you pay taxes to Caesar? You know, and he just took the coin out. Jesus, you know, he just said, who's on the coin? They were like, well, Caesar. He said, well, give to Caesar's what Caesar's. Give to God what's God. precisely. I like the story when he said,

should we pay taxes? But Jesus showed that he had knowledge of that conversation. I mean, you just think about if you had been around with Jesus back in the day, he knew what you were doing whether you were with him or not. So he'd come in, he's like, hey, how'd the, you know, whatever. Peter had just got through.

And he's like, well, should we pay the taxes? They're out there upset. He's like, go down to that lake. The first fish you catch will have. have a coin and go pay or a tower or maybe was it two coins i think it was just a coin yeah he said and pay it'll be enough so not only do you know it was in the fish he knew it was enough like it was a it was a big enough you know denomination of a coin always as an outdoorsman viewed that story i mean the first time i heard it i was just fascinated by i mean you know it's like they were probably

running as fishermen to the lake first one he catch the fish oh it has a coin look here's the coin. I mean, don't you know that was cool? It was pretty cool. You're right. I never thought about the idea that he knew, he knew all the fish swimming out. He knew which one had the coin. That was going to be the one. Well, yeah, now he. God and flesh. Miraculously probably, I mean, it was a miracle, actually, but it was just amazing. If you read between the lines of that story, he was showing that he had, not only was he all powerful, he can put a coin and a fish that you're fiction to catch, but he was all knowing. It's like he'd come in, and there was not going to be a word of that, but he revealed that

he knew the conversation you just had. You know, he was showing his omniscient, I guess, is the technical. So there was a question from Pete that he sent a question in, and it was in this what we're talking about, because he said, I love what he says, I know you guys, your main objective is to teach and spread the gospel, and he meant on our podcast. he said that's the most important and you're doing a fantastic job thank you Pete but he said my from doesn't say well you know shouldn't make when people that write in they should say where they're from that's right that helps us I want to get a profile that's right so he

says my question is could you talk about this impeachment we're we're watching as Christians how should you view that and and he goes on to describe a little bit more but I think he's asking the same question we ask all the time when you see something in the political world how upset should we be? I mean, obviously, we're supporting President Trump. At the same time, by the way, I was respectful to President Obama. I didn't agree with his policies. He was the President. I mean, I didn't treat him disrespectfully in my heart or my words. But he's asking, how do we react to that? Now, I think it's a great question because we've been talking about we're a part of the kingdom of God. And yet, President Trump is our president. He's not a king, but he's an elected president

in the United States. So how do you deal with that? Because then these things are upsetting, and especially in today's world, they're very polarizing as well. So what would be your advice for Pete and many others who struggle with stuff like that? In that text I read a while ago, let no debt remain outstanding except the continuing debt to love one another. For he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law, all of it. Children honor your father and mother because you love them. You don't murder because you love people. You have to hate them to murder them. Don't commit

adultery. You love your wife and you don't love someone else's wife. You have your own wife and you love the fellow that's married to another woman. You love, it'll went out. You won't commit adultery. If you love someone, you're not going to steal

from them. If you love someone, you're not going to lie to them. If you love someone, you're thankful that he's doing well in business or his life and you don't want what he has. But you love him enough to say, man, you did well. He starts there and then he says this,

the commandments do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, what I just said, do not covet. And whatever other commandment there may be are summed up in this one rule. You say, what is the one rule that the kingdom of God holds on to? Love your neighbor as yourself. And if you think about it logically, if the 320 million Americans in 2019, if they loved God with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength, and they loved each other, how you would see a far different America than you now have.

True. Any way you want to slice it, this is the best story ever told, and no story stacks up to that. that love God, love your neighbor, and you'll be okay. And like you said earlier from Romans, I think it was Romans you quoted, as far as it depends on you. You know, that's all you can do. Promise 12. Exactly.

So all you can do is be that person. You hope to impact more people to be like that. My advice to people about political matters are, you know, it's not wrong to be engaged. I think as Christians we should be. It's our civic responsibility. Jay's talked about on a past podcast about the, the great right we have to vote, which helps us to be able to make changes in our leadership. But you can't just get where it's in the world for everybody.

If Donald Trump gets impeached, oh, my gosh, like it's the end of the world. I mean, it's not. You can't turn it. You can't be that bad. You can't be that bad. Unfortunately, our country is divided into basically two camps at this stage, you know, right and left. but I tend to stay out of politics overall. I mean, stuff like this, it doesn't seem very credible to me.

I mean, to me, I feel like any time I put into this is a waste of time because it just doesn't seem, it seems like this is, if there's something within the two camps that's unreasonable, I don't spend a lot of time with. I think the impeachment over some conversation, I'm sure if you take every conversation of every president when he's dealing, and they're dissected to me. Yeah, I mean, you're going to, you know,

if there's something glaring, okay, but I tend to stick to the spiritual matters and I think, you know, I'm going to vote for people that's more in line with what this Bible says. America's problem. Whoever wins out, all that is where I'm going. Isn't it pretty fair to say the founders

putting in the impeachment clause just so if someone came in and they were the worst villain you ever saw in your life, you had a way to be able to rectify that, but not because you disagree with their policy of Ukraine and blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, they impeach Clinton. Yeah, and really nothing changed. He was still the president, so I really didn't understand that.

Yeah, because the Senate didn't ratify it and put him out of office. And even in that case, we were probably looking back, I'm sure I was probably more, yeah, impeached that guy, but looking back on it, it was the same thing. Well, look at back, it's the same thing. I didn't agree with the way he was living his life, but does that make him not fit to be the president. It was a mistake back then. It's an even bigger mistake today. You know what I thought? You know what I thought? Talable men. I thought, man, needs Jesus. That's the only thing that can change your heart and ultimately change your behavior. You got to have the reason. You can't come up with,

because in the end, we're all sinners. That's right. So I always look at it like, the only time I bow up is when somebody, you know, they're not going to respect the flag or they're, when they ever they are country and our ideals. Yeah, they take, do something like that. Now I'm opposed to that. I'll stand up and say that's not right. Because no matter what we disagree on or what political affiliation you're with, you got to come together for the people who gave their life so that we can have freedom. You know, good or bad. So I'll go up to that line, but I'm like, you know what, I'm going to love and respect you as my neighbor,

which is what you are reiterated. It's a spiritual fix, Al. It is. America's problems. They're spiritually fixed. But you do that day by day with your own neighbor. I don't get up and rail about, you know, how you need to do this.

I introduced Jesus because I know he can change the heart. And then I'm more concerned about my neighbor. Yeah. Because I'm like, that I can control. Can I do, you know, my neighbor good? I'll share Jesus with you because he can change your heart. We just had a gubernatorial election here in Louisiana. It's interesting because last year some people approached me because they knew we were

doing the show about running for governor because they didn't really have anybody on the Republican side that was a name recognition. And so it was interesting. I thought, you know, and that's an interesting thing. these are people that are asking that raise money and all that. So at any time you get asked something like that, I spent some time praying about it. And then I, you know, I called them back and I said, or they call me in a couple of days. I said, give me two days to pray about it.

And then I said, you know, I think my job is to impact governors and presidents and people in government with this, with something more. I think I can do way more with what we're doing right here with this podcast and talking to people, what you've done to the president themselves, to impact. spiritually rather than to be elected to office. So I admire the people that are willing to run. It's a great service. I appreciate what they do because it's hard. Now we're so polarized. But I think our job is to do what we're doing, is to influence for good. So as Christians out there, you can never go wrong with that. I mean, if it's in you to serve in that capacity, go for it. But for the rest of us, I think we have to just provide that pattern you talked about of what

kingdom living looks like. So anyway, thanks, Pete, for that. We want to encourage you guys to to keep asking questions, we're going to work those in through our podcast as we go forward in the future. So we're excited about that and try to use your questions to kind of help guide our biblical view of what's important. So thank you for that. Keep listening. Keep telling others about it.
