00:02:19.800guest today joining us today is brandon mcguire of the daily dose of wisdom is it the show or
00:02:26.260the podcast brandon which one which which phrase do you prefer how does your show identify
00:02:30.840you know i don't care it's it's mainly a youtube channel and then i realized i should probably
00:02:37.560talk to the people that i'm always talking about and so then the podcast was born out of that so
00:02:41.940i don't know you tell me oh all right i like show because something about when you say podcast when
00:02:48.060people ask me what i do yeah and then you go i'm a podcaster you go i gotta like brush my teeth
00:02:53.760afterwards. Brandon, before we get into this conversation, let's let everybody know who's
00:02:58.320listening, what it is that you do and where they can find your work. Yeah. So I've got a YouTube
00:03:02.940channel called Daily Dose of Wisdom. I normally deal with apologetics and philosophy and theology
00:03:08.300and cultural issues that are a little bit less fringe, a little bit less esoteric than the stuff
00:03:12.760that you guys deal with. But the Epstein file stuff really caught my interest as you start seeing
00:03:17.600like the receipts that are coming out of that, that it's not, you know, so-and-so said so,
00:03:21.580but it's like, oh, there it is. That's an actual verified email on a federal website that is
00:03:26.780talking about some crazy stuff. So that kind of took me down the research rabbit hole. And
00:03:31.840eventually, I found myself to y'all's channel and everything. And so it's interesting. It's
00:03:36.500this particular topic that I know you guys are way more into than I am and way further down this
00:03:42.420rabbit hole. But it's so interesting how different breadcrumbs in scripture seem to map on top of
00:03:51.580of uh not only past events but perhaps future events as well so that is really interesting to
00:03:57.800me and then you know you start digging into it and you see oh like you know legitimate people
00:04:01.620like michael heiser and chuck missler and people have kind of been barking up this tree so okay
00:04:06.560i'm not like off on some crazy island here this is actually like you know there are legitimate
00:04:11.220dots to be connected let's keep let's keep going and let's keep seeing what we get here so anyways
00:04:14.880i'm excited to talk to you guys about that it's a little bit off the beaten path of what my channel
00:04:18.360normally focuses on. But there is definitely an intersection, I think, between like our two
00:04:23.600worlds or, you know, areas of focus. So I'm excited to kind of explore that plus, you know,
00:04:29.420learn whatever else you guys want to talk about today.
00:04:32.220It's actually a really great time because, excuse me, you know, you said there's overlap between
00:04:37.980what you focus on and what we focus on. Well, it seems just like we're coming at the same
00:04:42.400conclusion, but from slightly different, not slightly, almost opposite directions. Like
00:04:47.080David has come from the conspiracy world. And within the last, I mean, you can just tell him
00:04:52.360your testimony. I guess I was into conspiracy for a really long time. And I never outright
00:04:59.640dismissed Christianity or the Bible or anything like that. Because of course, if you're looking
00:05:04.440into conspiracy, it comes up constantly. But it was one of those things where I was inundated with
00:05:09.800so many different points of views that I wasn't ready to say which one definitively had it. And
00:05:16.400It was a long time before I realized that the Bible is the correct lens to look at this whole situation through.
00:05:24.840And it made sense of so many different things and it keeps bearing good fruit.
00:05:29.220But this this time that we're in right now, it's it's almost like I think this is a great conversation that we're going to have because it's one that is going to resemble a lot of conversations that a lot of people are about to have just given the speed with which at the dinner table.
00:05:46.400at the dinner table, at work, you know, public transportation, whatever, you're going to be
00:05:51.980having these conversations because, as you said, right, the Epstein files get released.
00:05:56.300I don't know what we're at. Is it 6.5 or 7 million documents released through the DOJ?
00:06:02.420I'm sure we've we're yet to see the implications of a lot of those documents because I don't know
00:06:07.400how long, you know, endless amounts of Internet sleuths are going to take to get through all
00:06:11.980these files and find the things that are really important and really, you know, relevant to the
00:06:16.380conversation but i imagine that process is still taking place right now and and and so as we go
00:06:22.620forward we're going to see bigger names talking about this and that's going to bleed down to just
00:06:27.500conversations at your dinner table at your job and um and so i think it's important to have
00:06:32.520discussions like this where you know you have this foundation um in christ and and that's honestly
00:06:39.400more important i think than having a foundation in conspiracy yeah it's just when people have
00:06:45.780that foundation in christ and they allow the conspiracy to make them believe that those two
00:06:52.400things don't apply to one another meaning you're gonna see stuff in the epstein files you're gonna
00:06:58.040see alien stuff whatever they want we were just having a conversation because we operate out of a
00:07:02.960coffee shop the back of a coffee shop so uh interesting interesting guy he's a pastor former
00:07:07.980pastor i suppose uh writing some books but he very much like you coming from like a a christian
00:07:13.680background, it seems. He's like, well, what's the show about? And we just started giving him a quick
00:07:18.820breakdown of what we're talking about and what we're thinking. And he's like, yeah, yeah, I've
00:07:21.940been thinking the same things. I just don't know where to start. Don't know how to put it. And it's
00:07:27.380like, well, okay, we're all looking at this from the correct perspective. Now we have to discover
00:07:32.880what's happening here. And we have to be careful how we unveil this because it can get tricky.
00:07:38.400You want to be rooted in the gospel. But a lot of these things are going to present themselves in a
00:07:43.480way that it's going to try to convince you that that's not applicable. And it is. I want to ask
00:07:48.700you, Brandon, before we get into all the crazy stuff, what was your show previously about? I
00:07:54.780mean, I know now you're exploring these Epstein files and things like that. You said apologetics.
00:07:58.940What would an episode of Daily Dose of Wisdom have looked like before all this stuff came to
00:08:04.060the table? Yeah, I know. I love that question because it kind of directly relates to, so for
00:08:09.200example, I have probably done 20 videos trying to tackle in different ways, the topic of morality
00:08:18.580and of good and of evil and essentially making the case like if something if anything is better
00:08:23.860than something else, then there has to be some ultimate standard by which we're measuring
00:08:28.240what is better than something else. Like if something's better than something's ultimately
00:08:33.260good, there has to be some measuring stick. It cannot at the end of the day, be just my moral
00:08:38.100opinion versus your moral opinion, and it's all hunky-dory, we know that there is actually good
00:08:45.120and actually evil. But the way that you go about making that case philosophically, it can get,
00:08:49.460you know, it can get heady. It can feel very detached, very abstract. And people's basically
00:08:54.800defenses are up because they're like, no, like, I want to argue that either morality is just
00:09:00.020totally relative, or I want to argue that it's basically mass buy-in, like a John Stuart Mill
00:09:06.360moral utilitarian type of view, or I want to argue that it's just culturally based or that
00:09:12.180it doesn't exist at all, or that it's just ethical emotivism. It's just, how do you feel? Boo,
00:09:16.660murder, boo, Epstein Island. But there's no actual truth claim in reference when we're talking about
00:09:23.900morality. Morality is not even something related to truth. It's just a matter of your emotional
00:09:27.880response to events that take place in the world and so on and so forth. So there's all these
00:09:31.880different moral frameworks that exist and in my channel i'm basically saying man the price tag
00:09:37.340like the intellectual price tag of of buying into any of those frameworks is that you have to look
00:09:43.580the most evil thing in the face and say it's not really evil it's just your opinion and to me that's
00:09:48.720just that's like a hill that's a bridge way too far for me but then once you go okay maybe there
00:09:53.800really is real good and real evil but the second that you concede that point you're now presented
00:09:59.800with, well, according to what? C.S. Lewis said this the best. If we look out at our world and
00:10:06.080we call it crooked, then what is the idea that we have of what is a straight line to judge this
00:10:11.980world as being crooked against? What is that thing that we're thinking of? Well, it's a
00:10:16.320transcendent, objective, moral reality that exists in the character and nature of God, ultimately.
00:10:21.760If there's morality, then there's a moral... If there's moral good and evil, there's a moral law.
00:10:28.020If there's a moral law, there's a moral law giver is ultimately like the moral argument pointing towards God.
00:10:33.640But my point is you make that type of a case and it stays inside of this box of theory and philosophy.
00:10:39.660And I think it is effective for some people because, you know, it follows logically fairly well.
00:10:45.160But what I love about, in a strange way, what I love about the Epstein files coming out is it gives like a cultural referent to be able to talk about that
00:10:56.080where you can kind of just go beneath the skin of all of that and just say, this is obviously
00:11:03.580evil, right? And people basically feel that at a visceral level. And it's like, we're no longer
00:11:08.840just theorizing in the ivory tower about what is there really good or is this really evil? It's
00:11:13.000just hit us in the face. We see the photographs, we see the little baby with the black redaction
00:11:19.680over her face, and you feel sick to your stomach and you're no longer pontificating about whether
00:11:25.480or not it's evil you're asking yourself the question like what brings this like why do people
00:11:30.020do this why is the world the way that it is what's like the explanation of this kind of behavior
00:11:34.820and it really i think moves the ball forward in a more helpful um direction so and by the way that
00:11:40.220motif uh just last thought of this that that motif is i think really important that um
00:11:46.420what's happening right now in the world is and i think you guys were just referencing this with
00:11:53.020what you were saying about the conversations that are going to happen in public transportation and
00:11:56.240dinner tables and all that is like we are i really believe as as modern civilization crossing a
00:12:04.240cultural linguistic barrier between the ideas that are described in the bible that for a long time
00:12:11.720have been thought about in a fairy tale context angels demons give me a break but then man we're
00:12:18.140going to take really serious though like there's actually like a disclosure thing happening in the
00:12:22.680government. Well, what is this? And so that divide between like the language and the culture of the
00:12:28.040Bible and the language and the culture of the modern world, I think is lessening. I think that
00:12:32.700like a bridge is being built between those two worlds. And we're figuring out how to talk about
00:12:37.480these topics in a way that is actually relevant to people. Like we can, we can, I'm happy to
00:12:42.360change up the language if you guys want, if you, you know what I'm saying? If you believe in like
00:12:46.300the Anunnaki that are always talked about on the history channel, I'll go there with you. Like,
00:12:50.620I think the Bible does talk about the Anunnaki. We can map these concepts on top of each other
00:12:56.360and realize that we're basically talking about the same thing. But the real question is,
00:12:59.800who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? So normally on my channel, I'm talking all about,
00:13:05.680like I said, philosophy, theology, and culture, and ultimately saying, hey,
00:13:11.260God, Christianity is the best explanation for reality. And by the way, it's really good news.
00:13:17.020like if true, amazing. If true, best story ever, actually real. Aragorn, real. Neo, real. Braveheart,
00:13:23.220real. All of these things are types and shadows of the actual hero that, you know, even Joseph
00:13:27.680Campbell talking about the hero with a thousand faces. He's real. Jesus is real. He's historic.
00:13:32.420Hamlet wrote himself into, Shakespeare rather, wrote himself into Hamlet. The creator entered
00:13:37.340the creation and he makes himself on center stage, the solution to our biggest problem,
00:13:41.960which is the problem of evil. And he gives us hope for life everlasting through defeating death
00:13:47.980in his resurrection. So if Christianity is true, it is by far the greatest news ever and everybody
00:13:53.320should immediately attach to it. But what's the cognitive dissonance? What are the things that
00:13:57.860are being believed that make that unbelievable? Or what are the things that are being held in
00:14:01.700view that make that undesirable? That's really what I'm interested in normally talking about
00:14:05.580on the channel. But again, I love this intersection between our channels because it kind of takes a
00:14:09.300lot of that like theory philosophy theology and it's like let's talk about literally what's on
00:14:14.740like the doj website as of last month and it like brings everything into focus and it helps people
00:14:20.580realize like the bible is not a fairy book from the bronze age it is a description of reality that
00:14:26.380has actually predictive language inside of it that is playing out in a shockingly uh accurate
00:14:32.200manner so um i don't know that's you know a couple thoughts dude okay there's a lot of great stuff
00:14:37.920there i come from a libertarian background so what you're describing about this uh this philosophy
00:14:43.860that adheres to different standards it it's very much the it's the issue that i did have with
00:14:48.800libertarianism where i do love the philosophy i love the ideas i love the especially the um
00:14:53.160the monetary thinkers i think they're they're genius but when it comes to their their underpinning
00:14:58.100or that center point it was for me always god and i was like if you don't have god in the middle of
00:15:03.780your political theory or your i don't know social theory cultural theory it falls apart or it flies
00:15:09.280off the hinges because you'll get people in and they'll just put their fingers in and start ripping
00:15:12.840at the seams with god uh these things kind of orbit around it it makes sense so i'm right there
00:15:19.200with you philosophically but our show kind of does we we start at the point of like uh the most insane
00:15:25.720thing the most insane thing and then we go from there we're like i'm not even going to explain
00:15:29.980the philosophy or the, well, I mean, guys, we talk about the nature of God.
00:15:34.580Well, a lot of my problem with, like, let's say, for example, the Libertarian Party was
00:15:38.520like, you need to deal with the reality of the situation and you're not.
00:15:43.800And the reality of the situation is the governmental systems that you hope to infiltrate and then
00:15:48.480use the proper channels to rectify all the things that are wrong with the country.
00:16:21.980is run in great part by people who are sacrificing children and and if you can't have that conversation
00:16:30.500we just do you see how we just jump to that's what we do constantly but here's the thing
00:16:35.260you're saying like all right we're all now able to talk about this thing finally and i'm i'm i'm
00:16:40.520saying we're all now able to talk about this thing once again there's nothing new under the sun this
00:16:45.820is just come full cycle again and i i think uh a couple years ago tucker carl tucker carlson was
00:16:50.720talking about the intentional deadening of the spirituality in america specifically yeah removing
00:16:56.980our awareness of the spiritual realm detaching us from it yeah about 70 years ago this happens
00:17:01.520let's say the 50s a lot of stuff happens in the 1950s that's interesting it's the same time that
00:17:06.120elohim drops on the graph of being mentioned in in relevant culture on google which is fascinating
00:17:12.140right so we're stripped of this go ahead brandon no i was just gonna say even the even the
00:17:17.020enlightenment if you go back a little bit further where they parade lady reason through the streets
00:17:22.000as a type of an idol as if basically humanism has won the day and reason alone yeah look look
00:17:30.920look into uh you know like the it's the during the french um like the french revolution and like
00:17:36.440all those kind of big revolutions that were happening during the enlightenment you know
00:17:40.740the concept there was, was yeah, like humanity and reason and science explain everything. We
00:17:47.780don't need any kind of transcendent. So they prop up lady reason as this, uh, you know, like there's
00:17:53.520like a parade, like we've like, we've basically, and this is why Nietzsche isn't actually making
00:17:58.420a proclamation. He's making an analysis through, you know, through the madman. And when he says
00:18:03.500God is dead, he's not saying from in that context, he's not saying, I believe God is dead. He's
00:18:09.560having a care he's speaking through the voice of a character who's making an observation about the
00:18:14.360culture we've killed him we we no longer believe in him we've thrown god to the side and and now
00:18:19.440we worship lady reason so yeah i think i think it's definitely there and i think it's basically
00:18:24.260bottoming out right now i think things like the epstein files are an evidence that it's bottoming
00:18:28.760out because you know we might we may have been culturally brainwashed into believing that matter
00:18:34.100is all that is. And we're an accident from nowhere for no reason. But ultimately, what a boring and
00:18:39.920dissatisfying worldview. And I think when you look at the elites, you realize, oh, you guys don't
00:18:44.320believe that even Lawrence Krauss doesn't believe that Lawrence Krauss says that he believes that
00:18:48.180Lawrence Krauss writes a book called the universe from nothing. But in reality, Lauren, Lawrence
00:18:52.280Krauss is working alongside of Epstein trying to disentangle the connection between UFOs,
00:18:57.580out-of-body experiences and ghosts what in the world yeah i mean this is this is a huge eye
00:19:04.020opener for me too when i'm younger where it's like you know you are you're force-fed this
00:19:07.060materialistic paradigm but then you look at you know for lack of a better term bible's boring
00:19:11.500well besides even that you just look at the elites you know in whatever form they might take and
00:19:16.320you're like well they're doing a lot of i don't know worshiping of deities and sacrifices and
00:19:21.360rituals and all of their iconography and they're you know in hollywood and elsewhere it's it's all
00:19:27.000saturated in like babylonian symbolism and but yeah but we live in a materialistic paradigm no
00:19:32.600problem there's no problem with that you know you were talking about uh morality and how um i i'm
00:19:38.620gonna kind of paraphrase what you were saying it's almost like we were were stripped of all of the
00:19:44.180um knowledge of the nature of evil right it's like culture and society became so luxurious here in
00:19:53.320the west yeah i was gonna when as you were speaking the word decadent kept popping yeah
00:19:57.880because i mean honestly a poor person lives in better conditions than a king did you know all
00:20:03.080those years ago and so uh we've allowed ourselves to enter such a level of comfort that we can't see
00:20:09.100even though a lot of people listening might not think they live in an ivory tower historically
00:20:13.040speaking i think we do within that context we all live on a you know a sort of ivory tower
00:20:18.220And it has obfuscated our ability to see evil, actual evil. So in a way, yeah, the Epstein files being released has given us a window into what actual evil is. And it's it's it's kind of forced this this conversation.
00:20:33.240And I think that that is, for me, it's how I got to the table, where if that level of evil that most people didn't want to acknowledge existed, then certainly there has to be an extreme good, right?
00:20:47.180That was so. So in the in the in a world of polarities, if you do have this thing that, you know, conspiracy theorists have been saying for a long time and Christians have been saying for a long time, if you're not going through sort of a lukewarm Christianity and you really do believe that there are actual forces of evil, then there has to be this this ultimate good that that transcends just the morality of man, the decisions of man.
00:21:12.020and so yeah i think that we've actually done ourselves a disservice it's interesting to
00:21:17.120think about that like have we made things you make you try and you strive for like a utopia
00:21:22.780but i don't think that human beings uh are built for a utopia not at least a man-made one
00:21:29.560and you can see all the horrifying things if you if you do give people sufficient bread and circus
00:21:37.200well they become numb and they become complacent and all that does is create an avenue that can
00:21:44.780operate out in the open really for all intents and purposes i mean it's been here right under
00:21:49.200our noses and they fictionalize it they put it in hollywood and all this other stuff and and
00:21:53.880that way if you do see it it's associated with uh fiction it's associated with fantasy i guess i
00:21:59.840have a question for you brandon because as you're talking about this i'm just thinking about the
00:22:03.140latest article that came out about them seeding the sky like like i think the article title was
00:22:07.260they're poisoning the skies it's like yeah i've been yeah every day i go outside and i yell at
00:22:11.320the skies because they're poisoning them why why in your opinion are we finding all of this out
00:22:17.660now because the epstein files is a huge shoe drop and then we're talking about ufo files and we're
00:22:22.820talking about i mean they're like yeah we poison the sky we just did the whole dyes in the food
00:22:26.660and all the poison why right now that's a great question what's happening yeah what do you think
00:22:31.560Yeah. Um, I, I will give my best current understanding and then I'll kind of push it
00:22:38.780back to you guys as well. Cause this actually leads like my answer to this question will
00:22:42.320inevitably lead into one question that I wanted to ask you guys, um, after listening to your
00:22:48.520conversation with Albarino. And so maybe, yeah, it was a brutal one. Well, yeah, I'm just curious.
00:22:56.960so i let me first give my answer so um i think it's possible that it's actually this actually
00:23:05.160directly ties into what you were just saying about utopia right so um i actually like took
00:23:09.420a class in college called utopia and it's the study of how every time that there's like
00:23:17.040like almost without fail like a real wide-scale civilization level tragedy that takes place like
00:23:25.920you know like the holocaust or any anything like that the the holodomer um on and on right
00:23:30.860it's always sold under the banner of utopia it's it's always here's how we're going to bring about
00:23:39.320a better world and everybody i mean even really marxism fundamentally is that right workers of
00:23:43.780the world unite like this is bad this is a problem but if we all band together and revolt over the
00:23:51.840the bad guys or in the case of paul pot the people who wear spectacles if we just kill all
00:23:57.100the people that wear spectacles the world will finally be really good if we just kill all those
00:24:01.460nasty uh jews in our society they're they're taking all of our jobs the world will be better
00:24:06.720and like so every time that you have like that wide scale atrocity it's smuggled in it's a trojan
00:24:12.900horse that's kind of smuggled in under the banner of utopia it's never hey what if we just did like
00:24:18.480wide-scale destruction just like killed a bunch of people that'd be cool and everyone would be
00:24:22.260like you're crazy no that's evil because we have moral conscience because we like ultimately want
00:24:26.680the good it's always a a call to utopia here's how we get to a better world yeah you do have to
00:24:33.820spill a couple omelets to make an egg but it's going to be worth it and that's basically how
00:24:37.700it goes down um which again actually like tells us i think really important things about ourselves
00:24:42.940the fact that we have souls, moral consciences are actually, in spite of all of that, created
00:24:48.560in the image of God. And we actually have to trick ourselves into aiming at the good, even in order
00:24:53.120to do great evil. That could be a whole conversation we could have around that.
00:24:57.780But fundamentally, I think things, and this is just my theory, or this is where I currently
00:25:02.300understand things to be, but there's going to have to be bigger and bigger problems in order
00:25:09.100for there to be a solution to those problems and i think a lot of what you guys are what we're
00:25:14.460talking about right now like why why do we all of a sudden get access to all of the the dark the dark
00:25:19.900black underbelly like why do we all of a sudden get well because we need to uh and sort of maybe
00:25:26.300a predictive programming kind of way begin to understand this type of framework that they're
00:25:32.140that we're not alone in this galaxy and disclosure but things are also very problematic and man
00:25:37.220they're seeding the skies yeah i mean i don't know anything about that but like i'm gonna assume that
00:25:41.640that's a thing that's happening um and so you know oh that's really bad the government's bad we don't
00:25:47.040trust the government things are bad there's wars and rumors of wars bigger and bigger and bigger
00:25:51.580problems leading to more and more desperation we just need some kind of solution will somebody
00:25:57.580help us we we're just poor humans on planet earth will anybody help us ta-da enter the beast system
00:26:04.060enter the antichrist is how i see it um and so i think if you're thinking about it in that kind
00:26:10.040of a way it makes sense like if everything's hunky-dory and all of a sudden there's some
00:26:13.920kind of an ultimate disclosure or like presentation of hey you know i mean just think about how hard
00:26:19.060the the cell is hey like religions i know you guys all have like your you know your heels really
00:26:25.300sunk into your position for like thousands of years but what if what if the details don't matter
00:26:29.980What if we just all kind of sing Kumbaya together and like, and the details don't matter. That's a really, really difficult buy-in to get to. But, you know, if you read the book of Revelation, you sort of see like a one world government, something along the lines of a one world religion, a great deception that if possible would even deceive the elect is what it says.
00:26:49.160and so and you have the mention of signs and miracles and you know the man of lawlessness
00:26:55.580and and the um as it was in the days of noah and the i saw three beasts come out of the mouth of
00:27:01.560the prophet and the and the dragon and and the beast that looked like frogs and they performed
00:27:06.220many wonders and you know so you see some of these little inklings and you're like i don't know what
00:27:10.900all is gonna go down but whatever it is and however it looks like it's more likely to be
00:27:18.640foisted on humanity if we're desperate Saul Alinsky was the perfect person who said this
00:27:23.540never waste a crisis right if you guys know like rules for radicals he and which by the way was
00:27:28.360dedicated to Satan uh Lucifer I don't know if you guys know that but I did not know that makes a lot
00:27:33.160of sense really in the book I didn't read that part I kid you not google it or chat GPT whatever
00:27:38.380right now uh on page one like of rules for radicals he says this book is dedicated to Lucifer
00:27:45.060the original rebel or the ultimate rebel or something along those lines wow that's crazy
00:27:51.420yeah so that's i think that's the plot that i think like has always worked is make people
00:27:58.640desperate never waste a crisis and then when we're all kind of up against the wall and panicking
00:28:04.120enter the solution which will be the false solution before you know ultimately the true
00:28:09.080christ returns um so that's that's how i see it going down the reason so let me lead into my
00:28:13.740question for you guys and also feel free to correct me on anything because i'm a noob in all
00:28:16.820of this um when it comes to your conversation with albarino what like at the end of that where
00:28:23.620do you guys like what are the nuts and bolts of where you guys disagree if at all after hashing
00:28:30.220out that because i remember him saying like he thinks that the that like the grays could be
00:28:37.080just part of that problem that i think i'm talking about and then the sons of god become the solution
00:28:43.020like kind of like someone puppeting you you know like it's a it's a magician with two hands he's
00:28:47.020like i'm attacking you with the grace it's ultimately the same person and then i'm solving
00:28:51.100your problem with the sons of god and we're like yay like do you guys buy into that as a as a
00:28:55.440possibility or do you just think anything like any kind of whatever that is like demonic flesh
00:29:01.340puppet is just ridiculous or like like i guess in a nutshell where do you guys if at all disagree
00:29:36.100well if i if i may i i think that um we tend to agree with alberino on a great percentage of
00:29:44.160things i would say like upwards of 90 that episode yeah and i mean i'll release the email but
00:29:49.220in the email leading up to it i said hey this is a 15 minute disagreement he he challenged us to
00:29:54.980the debate and i was like here are some other topics that would be fascinating if we want to
00:29:59.160fill like an hour and a half let's say of a show yeah i don't assume this is going to go much
00:30:03.140further than 15 minutes we got stuck on the definition of a demon for 45 minutes the guy
00:30:07.660filibuster it was very frustrating it was a strange thing and then he asked the community to like uh
00:30:12.180not talk to us anymore not talk to us so thanks for showing up yeah so so the the main disagreement
00:30:19.140i would say is and i think you've actually laid fertile ground uh for people to understand this
00:30:24.320um when you're describing this great uh great big problem so that there could be a consolidation
00:30:29.640of people under one banner right if you create a big enough bad guy let's say or a big enough issue
00:30:34.680um and then you can rally people behind one singular solution well the my concern is that
00:30:42.220there will be two major facilitators of that issue and the solution and those facilitators will be
00:30:47.860um elements of our own government and then whatever this et situation will be right these
00:30:54.100two things will be the things that give us new systems give us savior figures whatever the case
00:31:00.120may be and when it comes to albarino my my real contention with him was two main things one this
00:31:09.540collins elite narrative i think is very dangerous because what it does is it paints christians as
00:31:14.960being um a stopping point for progress and and uh which number one we did clip him saying that
00:31:23.920that uh the people are standing in the way of progress yeah disclosure technological progress
00:31:30.640and then christian people christian people said they were misguided he has also tweeted that that
00:31:36.440what i guess his words may have been a misstep and that is quite dangerous because christian
00:31:40.440people will have a target on their back because of his rhetoric so that's what like one of the
00:31:44.120things is very cool i think it's very cool they did that i think it's disingenuous because he
00:31:48.200argued with us about it when in reality that's kind of what we were saying and he just wanted
00:31:53.360Oh, it's exactly what we were saying. We weren't mincing words. But I at the end of the day, all I care about is the truth. So if Alvarino is going to then sidestep and say, actually, Colin's lead narrative is dangerous because it paints Christians as this. Then that's great. And that's awesome to me.
00:32:07.320The other thing that to me is is very difficult to get past is he is almost feverishly defending Elizondo, you know, Jake Barber, all of the talking heads that are associated with disclosure as it's being facilitated by government entities.
00:32:23.900So these people are either currently or X, but I don't think there's such thing as X military intelligence.
00:32:32.920You don't get to not be military intelligence. You don't get to not be CIA.
00:32:36.180You don't not get to be, you know, aerospace intelligence or any of these things anymore.
00:32:40.200You can retire. He's not intelligently differentiating between.
00:32:45.540I guess like he's not he's not differentiating between psyops.
00:32:49.100And I don't know where you stand politically, but when we're talking to him, it's like, it's this boomer mentality of like, oh, well, what do you want to be a Democrat? What do you want to be a Republican? And I'm looking at, I mean, just look at the Epstein files. We have Democrats, Republicans across the political spectrum for, I don't know, 30, 40 years working in tandem to do whatever they're going to do.
00:33:07.780Yeah. And I'm looking at this and I go like, it's like, Tim, do you think a white hat or a black hat is going to stop the gods of old, if that's what we're dealing with, from presenting themselves when they are ready to present themselves? Or if this is God's plan to allow this to happen, you think that Lou Elizondo is going to be the guy to blow the lid off the thing? No, he's a useful idiot that will be used. And if he if he steps to the side, somebody else will be put in his place and this will move forward.
00:33:35.380They're all here to facilitate it. So this thing is happening. We are going forward and I don't need to pick a side between, you know, propose good guys and bad guys. It's ridiculous.
00:33:45.700So so ultimately, my concern here is if we are moving towards this time where it's short and it seems to be on the horizon to get caught up in defining things, let's say from from your perspective, Brandon, right, where it's like you're you're new to this, but you're earnestly exploring it.
00:34:04.260And, you know, you can see from your vantage point that this conversation is coming to the table.
00:34:09.240Well, is it time to get caught up in defining Pleiadians, insectoids, tall grays, short grays, all these things?
00:34:25.000And what is still within the grace of God?
00:34:27.340That's the only dividing line that I really care about.
00:34:29.960We can talk about those things because they're interesting and they make for fascinating conversation.
00:34:34.260But if you're going to present yourself as an authority and a talking head, and those are the murky waters that you're going to really engage in while smoking cigars with Elizondo and championing all of the government programs, the crashed craft retrieval program and all these other things, I don't think that you should be aligning yourself with the very system that's going to facilitate the deception.
00:35:00.380And so, honestly, it really wasn't too much of a disagreement.
00:35:09.360Why are we painting Christians as standing in the way of progress?
00:35:11.780Why are we aligning ourselves with guys like Elizondo in this government disclosure?
00:35:15.480And to be fair, Brandon, the whole thing started because he said, if you think aliens are demons, you're retarded.
00:35:21.520And we're like, well, he said, if you're a Nephilim podcast that thinks aliens are demons, you're like, so we're a Nephilim podcast that does think that.
00:35:36.840By the time that you guys hashed it out, it sounded like just, again, I wasn't there to hear like the before and after and backstage or whatever,
00:35:45.920but it sounded like you guys essentially were either agreed with completely or were open to
00:35:54.080the sort of like demons are specifically the disembodied spirits of dead nephilim hypothesis
00:36:01.860but is that did i read that wrong or as he was talking that you guys seem to be like okay yeah
00:36:07.120yeah maybe we're not that far away from each other so that was i think we're extremely far
00:36:12.020away like we we asked like okay let's define the term what is a demon and it's a disembodied spirit
00:36:16.500of a nephilim 45 minutes later we get into well the angels that the prophets and the bible saw
00:36:21.540were purely symbolic and they never had wings and i'm just like what the hell are you talking about
00:36:25.460but even that i don't care so much about those those disagreements and and to be perfectly honest
00:36:30.140i think those things matter on his view of the supernatural they do but the problem was they um
00:36:36.440to get hung up on them which we didn't you know ultimately would block us from being able to
00:36:43.120address the things that i actually cared about so on the on the topic of are aliens demons i've said
00:36:48.680it to him on twitter before the show even you know happened and i said that there are a multitude of
00:36:53.640things and there's a physical aspect there's a spiritual aspect there's a biologics you know a
00:36:59.760biomechanical aspect and a technological aspect but there's also plasma and there's all these
00:37:04.300different things involved there's also government programs that are using you know aliens as a
00:37:10.460shield for their programs like mk ultra where they're taking people and they're doing
00:37:15.300experimentation on them and things like that well we could we could explain that a little bit more
00:37:19.720because i guess if you're new newer in this space but uh a lot of mk ultra programs mind control
00:37:25.460programs disassociative techniques that uh they would use to cause trauma to a person oftentimes
00:37:32.340if you if you speak to somebody that studies or helps with satanic not helps help like a satanic
00:37:38.580ritual abuse deliverance minister they can tell you a little bit about the techniques used and
00:37:43.020it's one for one they're the same thing and so now we're we have to step back and wonder why
00:37:48.460is the government employing techniques with this very technological hard like like you know wires
00:37:54.980scalpels whatever it is why is why does it overlap exactly with what they're doing in
00:37:59.280these satanic temples or occult rituals when a cult i mean i'm sorry when abductees are abducted
00:38:04.980oftentimes they'll recall science personnel medical personnel military personnel among these
00:38:10.560you know the pantheon of aliens that they're experiencing so just to wrap it up brandon
00:38:14.380the the question as it presented itself to the public were are aliens demons which is a little
00:38:20.820bombastic it's a little uh overly reductive it's meant to kind of catch your attention but it's
00:38:25.280internet and and so it's really what we're asking are aliens and aliens are so many different things
00:38:31.380right insectoids and pleiadians and all this crap are they demons are they the disembodied spirits
00:38:37.180of the nephilim as the book of enoch presents it um that's not that's not quite correct it's
00:38:42.180the question is the question is better put are they demonic are they against the kingdom of god
00:38:47.200are they against humanity do they have our better interests are they deceptive in their nature and i
00:38:52.340say yeah and then that leads sorry it just leads to the other question that i think he answered in
00:38:58.340a piss poor manner um are they neutral is there because it's either you're for me or against me
00:39:04.180that's very clear in the bible that's what jesus says yes he goes on to explain i think it's a
00:39:09.460in the book of judges there's like a place called mirage and he's like well they remain neutral so
00:39:14.500they could remain neutral and he said it's a planet but it's not it was just a bizarre explanation and
00:39:20.100So he thinks that there are neutral parties.
00:39:22.820And I think that that is fertile ground for deception.
00:41:07.560And he, he indicates that there's different levels and entities.
00:41:12.580You know, the Genesis 6, 1 through 4 gives us this information.
00:41:17.740We can kind of piece together enough information just from the actual canon of the Bible to
00:41:22.400understand that it looks like there's at least two or three different types of things that
00:41:28.640exist that are intelligent and that are not human.
00:41:30.640And probably there's, in my opinion, probably a lot more.
00:41:33.080I don't think anybody has like the full grasp of the spiritual realm.
00:41:37.620Frankly, I think that there's probably a lot more that we don't know about.
00:41:41.620um yeah in the bible it also says uh devils demons and unclean spirits and i think in that
00:41:46.700category of unclean spirits you have a lot of lesser entities uh that there's probably a bunch
00:41:53.320of different things in that category of unclean spirits so yeah but right so what i'm saying
00:41:58.260though is like i loved what oh sorry if there's a lag i'm sorry i didn't mean to i don't never
00:42:02.260mean to talk over if i ever talk over it's only technology's fault i'm never in my feels i never
00:42:07.120talk over people. No. So Jamie's point was so good because he goes, we can wordsmith it as
00:42:14.620much as we want, but at the end of the day, it's powers of darkness. And I thought that's such a
00:42:19.900good period at the end of that sentence. That is ultimately the point is that the spiritual realm
00:42:25.960is real and it is binary in nature. A third have fallen from grace. Two thirds remain on God's side
00:42:34.060and there are no neutral players that we're aware of in scripture we see a fall uh of the you know
00:42:41.640the apostate sons of god or the fall of the like medievals talk about them in terms of angels
00:42:46.460whatever there's there's entities that are not human and a third of them have fallen away from
00:42:52.500god and they're working against god and they're working against humanity okay that's a good like
00:42:58.140if we can get everybody up to speed on that, I'm really happy. And then what exactly like within
00:43:05.260that, the strategy and within even like the taxonomy, like what exactly is a Pleiadian
00:43:09.300versus a reptilian versus a, I don't know, but it doesn't seem to me that those are the good guys.
00:43:15.920And especially if, so I actually did a two and a half hour podcast with Joseph Jordan,
00:43:20.240and he's telling me story after story of the name of Jesus being effective at ending the
00:43:25.960abduction experience permanently, which is what people always want, like repeatability. Like,
00:43:30.120why is it happening to me? And how do I make it stop? Well, why is it happening to you? Either
00:43:33.820you or someone in your family exposed yourself to the occult 100% of the time in the 600 plus
00:43:37.860testimonials that he had. And how do I make it stop? Well, apparently the name of Jesus is
00:43:41.780effective. And then when people say, but it's not perfectly effective, it's not like a magic
00:43:47.380incantation that you say, Jesus, and it always ends. Well, that's a fine point, but that's also
00:43:53.700biblically supported the disciples came to jesus and said we can't cast out this demon what's going
00:43:57.420on so the fact that you don't have like like um like perfect uh like every single time it works
00:44:03.460doesn't mean that you should push under the rug the 600 plus incidences that this one dude who's
00:44:11.340dug into it has found where the name of jesus does work if there's even one time that it does
00:44:16.060effectively permanently stop the harassment from this alienoid creature we should sit there and go
00:44:23.340what in the world, what, what would theology, what would Jesus have anything to do with the
00:44:27.560ending of an abduction experience? But it hasn't just happened one time. It's a fluke accident or
00:44:31.160a psychological affectation. It's happened repeatedly. And once it, and according to
00:44:35.700Joseph Jordan, once that person has like, once that entity has, uh, submitted or, or, uh, basically
00:44:45.240submitted under the authority of Jesus and leaves the person alone, that's it. They, they don't come
00:44:50.140back. And so that's a really, like, if you're just looking at it as a researcher, that's really
00:44:55.980interesting. And I think it's a great way to help people see, again, like I keep talking about this
00:45:00.800cultural linguistic barrier. It's like, that's a fascinating data point to that Jesus isn't just
00:45:08.160like some character in this old book called the Bible, but when his name is brought into the
00:45:13.200modern world and when his name is spoken against the abduction experience, it actually works
00:45:20.720in terms of that alienoid slash demonic slash disembodied whatever powers of darkness thing.
00:45:28.880It is under the authority of Jesus. And that's when I read the gospels, that's what I see is
00:45:34.320that he has authority over all of these things, whether they're demons, whether they're sons of
00:45:39.940god he is god himself and he has authority over them joseph jordan's data maps onto that perfectly
00:45:46.520and so um i think that that's a really a really significant thing for anybody to think about and
00:45:51.460i guess ultimately again me kind of being the noob and the peacemaker is just like let's just
00:45:55.560all agree powers of darkness and then as friends we can wordsmith what the heck is going on with
00:46:00.340the rest of it but that's just i i i agree with what you're saying there and it's it is one of
00:46:04.880our main talking points where we're like why does this work ever joseph joseph is a guy we talked
00:46:08.540to move on investigator right yeah yeah he's great um so yeah the question is like why if that is the
00:46:14.100case why would that even work once and i have researched what alberino says about it because
00:46:18.680our first episode with alberino we did have contention about this and we had it was one of
00:46:23.340those things we were new in podcasting had no business questioning him but we are dumb so we're
00:46:27.780just questioning him he didn't like it and uh we're like well so why does this work and i his
00:46:33.040explanation and i think he still holds it would be uh well there's like a time lapse that happens
00:46:37.580when you're abducted so the people call on jesus and when it stops it stops because you have lost
00:46:44.480time and it was the end of their whatever procedure your perception of the event stops but
00:46:49.480it continues beyond your perception yeah that's his explanation to it i think it's unsatisfactory
00:46:54.360i do think that that calling on the name of jesus does work in certain certain specific
00:46:59.300situations i think it does not work i think this phenomenon that we're dealing with when you're
00:47:03.920being abducted can be spiritual, can be physical, can be a number of things. So if it's a government
00:47:10.300agent, if it's me and David abducting you and you say, in Jesus name, stop, we say no and continue
00:47:16.460to do whatever we want because that's what happens. Those are the rules of the physical realm. So
00:47:21.200it's a mix of all of these things. And there's a lot of confusion and there's a lot of obfuscation
00:47:26.800and it's done on purpose. So, but the point, the fact that, you know, you're bringing that up
00:47:31.640as a fascinating data point i would say that's understating it it is the most important it is
00:47:37.620the data point it is the linchpin in this entire situation and all hands on deck should be focusing
00:47:43.200on why does this phenomena have any correlation to ceasing or or interacting in any kind of way
00:47:48.700that seems to slow it or stop it upon calling on the name of christ and i think that the the part
00:47:54.900of the plan and you know this is highly speculative on my part but part of the plan we've been in this
00:48:00.360materialistic paradigm for a long time now in the west and stripped of our spiritual understanding
00:48:05.680as as tucker carlson puts it and i think that is massively advantageous to the powers of darkness
00:48:12.140which by the way i think is a great way of putting it demonic or the powers of darkness
00:48:15.580which narrative helps arm people against what's happening the the minutiae which is fun to talk
00:48:22.040about and and it has its place or blanket statements the power of darkness the demonic
00:48:27.980forces that are in opposition to humanity i i would say one does a much better job in zero hour
00:48:33.420of arming christian brothers and sisters against whatever this phenomenon is um but if you convince
00:48:40.660people they live in a materialistic paradigm if you hide yourself behind this veil um and the only
00:48:47.420people that are willing to talk about it are on the fringes of society and they're laughed at for
00:48:52.380the longest time they're called pseudoscientists or they're called quacks if they're an experiencer
00:48:56.600um what that does is if the veil does truly have to be removed at some point in order for you to
00:49:03.060let's say reveal yourself interact with humanity and present yourselves to them as you want as you
00:49:09.340want to control the narrative benign space brothers from a highly advanced technological
00:49:13.940civilization far far away let's say that that's what everybody's comfortable with if you want to
00:49:17.940do that then it's best for you to not reveal yourself until the last minute because all of
00:49:25.300critical thinkers and thought leaders may well be caught up in defining you while you're busy
00:49:32.440executing while you're busy implementing your will upon the people all of the intellects in
00:49:38.300the space are busy trying to define well is this an insectoid does it wear a cape with a cowl what
00:49:44.700is it what does it want what about the propulsion uh technology that could be advantageous right
00:49:49.640well yeah sure maybe there seems to be some overlap between um uh you know uh pagan mythoses
00:49:56.520of antiquity and their gods and pantheons and this phenomenon right here uh and but but i don't know
00:50:03.740if this is really the same thing and sure we have to look at the data and then you look at the data
00:50:07.840but it's really only the data that you choose but in the meantime they're doing the plan this great
00:50:14.600deception and we're caught up defining what they are and we're caught up arguing with people who
00:50:20.680have interest in selling books and i'm just i'm sorry that it is what it is i realized that very
00:50:25.760quickly like when you're debating somebody or you're trying to like express your idea i'm like
00:50:31.620well if your idea is rooted in you getting paid and i have nothing to do with it we're not going
00:50:36.400anywhere here and that's kind of this is the shuffle that we've been playing at with this so
00:50:40.780them like yeah it's just a moot point we just kind of uh but to be honest making fun of them
00:50:46.000and moving on i don't think that that conversation and you know we can move on from it after this but
00:50:50.540i don't think that conversation would have been structured the way that it was had it not been
00:50:55.540an offer to debate us because we were defending the position that aliens are demons or aliens
00:51:00.700are demonic which by the way even in the clip that we made he doesn't just say aliens are demons is
00:51:06.300a stupid point he says aliens are demonic is a stupid point we have that clip we we put it at
00:51:11.660the beginning of the episode so um it wasn't really even a mincing of words initially we
00:51:17.660were defending a position that i still defend to this day and the only reason that that conversation
00:51:21.920went the way it did is because he said let's debate which to me i'm not a debater i'm i'm just
00:51:27.720somebody that has conversations but once that ball started rolling i started to become convicted in
00:51:33.760this idea of like well wait a second why are you why are you saying this why are there's so much
00:51:38.320overlap between the demonic um and i i think yes the question that i i still ask myself is like i
00:51:45.700i hope it's just to sell books um but it seems like i don't know you pushing a narrative what
00:51:50.840are we doing here well that's yeah that's when i'm a conspiracy theorist that's where my wheels
00:51:54.460start to turn and i go there's so much overlap between the demonic phenomenon and the alien
00:51:59.900phenomenon and this is something we've laid out on so many episodes it's not just the name of jesus
00:52:04.880there are so many odd correlations that it's almost a one-to-one the the alien abduction
00:52:11.560phenomenon and the demonic encounter phenomenon to say if you think this is the same thing you're
00:52:16.680an idiot is incredibly disingenuous it's it's it then i have to ask are you a person who's
00:52:23.320incredibly educated on this matter are you somehow missing a swath of data that i as an idiot have
00:52:30.120access to or are you being malicious and then you know that's what the realtor term so that's yeah
00:52:36.580i i hear i hear what you guys are saying and i want to make sure i'm remembering correctly here
00:52:41.540but isn't and then yeah we can get off of alabrino because you guys are probably like this is not
00:52:47.340the main thing i want to talk about but um isn't isn't he open to the idea that the grays are
00:52:55.480basically like created worker bees by the sons of god who are kind of like i don't know how to say
00:53:04.880it like synthetic flesh puppets that demons go into when they can't go into humans yeah
00:53:09.660you can thank us for that for for him admitting that if you watch our first episode that we did
00:53:14.860with him about a year and a half ago he said not that it was a struggle session for about 30 minutes
00:53:18.880and then finally he goes perhaps that may be and then yeah i guess now he's talking about it but
00:53:23.400a quick way to wrap that up though for brandon he's just like yes he says that doesn't matter
00:53:28.680when his mind changed yes he says that so then why is he saying people who say their demons are
00:53:33.860idiots well this is my question is is it possible that and again i'm not trying to be his you know
00:53:39.480defense attorney whatever but is it possible that he's just literally hearing uh like so you're
00:53:44.940saying not only did he say that the statement um uh aliens are demons is stupid but the still
00:53:53.360but the statement aliens are demonic is stupid but what my question is is it possible that what
00:53:59.260you're thinking about as the distinction between those two words demon and demonic is just not in
00:54:05.420his mind that those are synonymous ideas because i think i think we're dialed into the idea that
00:54:10.500the demonic is a broad umbrella that is essentially synonymous with powers of darkness and we're
00:54:15.940saying like yeah all things that are powers of darkness are things that are demonic but is it
00:54:20.000possible that he's hearing that and he's going when you say demonic you mean this narrow disembodied
00:54:25.540spirit of a nephilim and when you're thinking and he's like in my taxonomy aliens are a separate
00:54:30.340entities so to connect those two individual pieces is a mistake is it possible that he even though
00:54:35.860you're trying a line between demon and demonic is still thinking that you're making some kind of a
00:54:40.020technical mistake wait no i have a perfect answer if we hadn't said it over and over again it would
00:54:45.280be possible so that's a great question and that's that's fair so two things to that one before the
00:54:50.620debate i created an entire uh you call it a wall of text where i thoughtfully broke down all the
00:54:57.400different elements of the alien abduction phenomenon uh to which since then he said
00:55:02.760that he agrees with the vast majority of what i say so he knew what we meant going into it the
00:55:07.120other thing that really just puts a nail in the coffin is he's now going around on twitter spaces
00:55:12.060saying demonic that the phenomenon is demonic he's now saying that it's very funny that's good
00:55:17.740though right that's we should be happy right yes yes okay um yeah it's fine it's just you know i
00:55:22.980guess i the human side of me is kind of like what because we had this debate i think he embarrassed
00:55:28.480himself even though we didn't do much talking he did all the talking the p it wasn't received well
00:55:32.860and then about a week later uh organically on the internet the aliens are demons thing started
00:55:39.140popping up he went on blurry creatures immediately after for damage control i assume and that didn't
00:55:43.580go well either if you check their comment section it was kind of brutal and i'm watching them uh the
00:55:48.400blurry guys and albarino just take a beating on twitter from the general public when we're talking
00:55:53.740about they're talking about aliens are demons they're trying to uh persuade people that no
00:55:58.820they're not there's a differentiation and people were not having it and then then he goes all right
00:56:03.100about face and it didn't fine okay fine but don't give me don't give me grief over it and don't also
00:56:09.000don't come after us in that like weird malicious way and then send group texts to people like la
00:56:14.040marzulli and all these other people that are large in the space to not associate with us because you
00:56:18.500embarrass yourself that's that's why don't i get why don't i get you guys and albarino on
00:56:24.680my podcast and we'll all hash it out for like four hours and and then we'll like
00:56:28.920look like i said okay fine five hours we'll go five we'll go five the vast majority of points
00:56:39.400we would agree with him on and you would find that if we had this conversation he would concede
00:56:43.780on all of these points we would just be sitting here ultimately what would happen is he would say
00:56:48.420you guys use naughty language and that would be that would be the last standing point uh that we
00:56:53.740would have a disagreement on and you know to that i would have to concede i would say that he is
00:56:57.880correct on that point but a lot of it is just uh uh like i said semantics and he's using the same
00:57:03.980language that we're using not the naughty ones uh but he's saying demonic and he's differentiating
00:57:08.640between demons he does have this air of superiority about him where he likes to allude to the idea
00:57:14.260that we're idiots and we don't know what we're talking about and that's fine we don't often
00:57:17.880present ourselves in a gracious enough light to paint ourselves as intellectuals but we do
00:57:22.320understand the ins and outs of this not saying i have answers and i know the definitive truth
00:57:27.520but i know all the different running theories and ideas on what these things are and i would say that
00:57:33.380we probably know things that he doesn't know just like he knows things that we don't know
00:57:37.640so if we had a conversation the conversation would likely be constructive it's just whether
00:57:41.680or not you frame it as a debate if you frame it as a debate i don't want to my mo in this is the
00:57:46.980is the the concept that i believe to be true at the deepest level which is that a house divided
00:57:52.920against itself cannot stand and so when you have like candace and ben all of a sudden becoming
00:57:57.340each other's mortal enemies like that's bad for the conservative coalition like that's just that
00:58:01.860weakens the the main plot and i again i i'm not trying to meddle in it but like part of me is
00:58:07.740like i feel like if there is some sort of like corrective thing that you guys are some kind of
00:58:14.180reconciliation where it's like okay yes we actually do disagree you're wrong about this and you're
00:58:17.840wrong about this but we like you said if there really is a 90 90 or 85 whatever overlap to me
00:58:24.840i'm like you guys there's not a lot of people doing this particular kind of work and like
00:58:31.000you guys are in the same space it's a very um i mean it's a growing space but it's it's a it's a
00:58:37.260fairly niche space and part of me just from the from the outsider perspective looking in like i
00:58:42.960don't really have a dog in the race other than like i want the word to get out and i want it to
00:58:46.920be a strong message and a house divided against itself cannot stand and if you guys can like
00:58:51.480you know find that that core that nucleus and then like pour rocket fuel on it and help the world
00:58:58.140better wake up to the reality that like there is a spiritual realm there is powers of darkness
00:59:02.780maybe i sound like i'm living in a utopia by casting this vision but that's like where my
00:59:06.780my heart is coming from on it is like is like i think it's important i think this i think this
00:59:11.440narrative is basically true in the broadest sense and then the details around what are the what's
00:59:18.480the taxonomy and what's the timeline like there's a lot of details that are are blurry i was gonna
00:59:23.480to say fuzzy but why not say blurry um so but like do you see like where i'm coming from on it
00:59:29.580it's like i want the world to wake up to all of this through a biblical prism and to realize the
00:59:34.280reality of the predictive power of the bible and i think you guys are a part of that so i think
00:59:40.080yeah i would i would like i would like that um i think after this whole thing went down
00:59:46.040because obviously uh you don't know much about us but we're like we're comedy based i i worked in
00:59:51.920the comedy field stand-up comedy field for a long time and david is like a natural comedian as well
00:59:56.380so like that's what we're going to lean on a lot and we're going to we're going to say jokes we're
00:59:59.880going to say off-color stuff and same because we made fun of him a lot but it's it's a part of the
01:00:03.200body of christ in a way and again i don't want to sound like like i'm making excuses for how we
01:00:08.200behave because we we do some off-color stuff but we talk to people who timothy alberino will never
01:00:13.160be able to talk to yeah in fact he's actually labeled our audience as like terrible people
01:00:18.000yeah and they are terrible people they are terrible but everybody deserves you know the
01:00:21.720gospel he he talks to people that we can't talk to so there is that thing there i just i've been
01:00:27.680having this thing within my heart of uh like yeah the the body of christ is divided but i'm like is
01:00:32.840am i so am i part of the body of christ or is he not part of the body because there's a thing that
01:00:38.300happened whereas i'm like oh there's a clear separation here and i don't know if these two
01:00:41.500things go together uh so yeah i don't know if that could be hashed out that's it's is whatever
01:00:46.900but uh my thoughts on it are um whatever god wants to happen um is that's that's what i'm
01:00:53.220gonna do yeah so um you know as far as hashing it out with him i think it would be a fascinating
01:00:59.480conversation um just given all of the expanse that this topic covers and and we all have something
01:01:08.680very interesting to say that i would hope even if let's say there's 70 data points that are
01:01:14.780fascinating about the alien, uh, you know, abduction phenomenon and the demonic encounter
01:01:19.980phenomenon. If only one of those data points resonates with some listener and it clicks in
01:01:25.960their head and it puts the pieces of the puzzle together for them. And they realize that this is
01:01:30.280the same phenomenon. I don't care. I'll talk for however long it's my, my main prayer going into
01:01:36.700every episode is that somebody who hears this episode is drawn closer to Christ because of the
01:01:42.640words that we speak on it and if that's one word or that's one person then awesome that's a banger
01:01:48.300i just want to be understood from like like what i'm trying to say because oftentimes you know
01:01:53.160i'm a bit uh mumble mouth but as a podcaster not great i i don't i don't have any uh real animosity
01:01:59.080he really doesn't like us right now and look probably for good reason because once we started
01:02:03.440hashing it out on twitter and getting uh nasty with each other you know it we're just we're just
01:02:08.700better at it but i actually memed him to death and all this other stuff i wanted to move the
01:02:12.200conversation is something you brought up before about uh this lady reason and it kind of that
01:02:16.500was a fascinating point yeah yeah that stuck out in my head because that's one of it's rearing its
01:02:22.180head i gotta go to the bathroom sure um it's rearing its head in a way that is kind of
01:02:26.580fascinating these days uh these entities often present themselves as feminine throughout
01:02:32.900antiquity and culture from isis to i don't know like what is a what's the name of this uh the
01:02:39.000ancient jewish one yeah samarim uh lilith yeah lilith being the like i guess like the original
01:02:50.220in jewish lore and then even before that if you look at uh in the bible uh i think the the first
01:02:55.020verse or the second verse of the book of genesis where god's face comes over the deep and that that
01:02:59.960deep is is uh translated as tiamat so it's like this dragon but the dragon has this female
01:03:05.140connotation and god obviously has this masculine connotation so he's coming over the face of this
01:03:11.100uh female body and he's and he's telling it to calm down and it calms down and then he creates
01:03:16.120and he creates order out of this and this is like a jordan peterson kind of point but
01:03:20.060the idea is that this aspect is always feminine and now we're looking at the alien phenomenon
01:03:26.160on through the Bledsoe's eyes, Chris Bledsoe and his father, his son, Ryan Bledsoe. And they're
01:03:33.160like these people that have seen orbs. They're in contact with entities. And one of the entities
01:03:37.560that they are in contact with is called the lady. And she's described as this Pleiadian blonde,
01:03:44.340tall white lady. And she's giving him premonitions and predictions of what's going to happen in the
01:03:49.080future. And to be honest, she's been correct. And he's been spot on. Even with the year,
01:03:55.280He's predicted the year 2026 being the year that we go to war with Iran, the year that we're seeing these orbs, the year that they will present themselves to us and disclose things.
01:04:05.220But it's just a it's a bizarre thing because it's coming from this divine feminine aspect of of the spiritual realm, which we'll see in like a lot of new age, new agey kind of ideas.
01:04:18.120and the bible doesn't really give any credence to divine feminine as a matter of fact when they
01:04:23.660talk about the queen of heaven it's always in a negative light it's like a demonic a demonic
01:04:28.360kind of entity going on uh david's back i'm just filling him in on the lady chris bledsoe yeah this
01:04:33.960is a fascinating topic you were just talking about that idea of the queen of heaven i forget what
01:04:37.780verse or scripture that is in particular but it talks about um provoking the rage of god by making
01:04:44.540offerings to the queen of heaven and so yeah it's never in a positive connotation that that this
01:04:50.340aspect is brought up but it does what did you say that was 1950 is is when um the what was it called
01:04:57.300this would have been um this would have been earlier than that uh 18 something this would
01:05:04.260have been like around the french revolution i believe let me i can look it up here and what
01:05:09.980was it called the lady reason lady reason that's a fascinating that's a fascinating uh yeah because
01:05:15.300you you get a lot of that especially within protest too the revolution i mean think about
01:05:19.140i think it was uh 1793 oh wow 1793 yeah it replaced christianity that's interesting yeah
01:05:25.860it's always the same thing it replaced christian goddess of reason yeah yeah so the end of like
01:05:30.600almost 18 like yeah 1793 um yeah and i'm not even saying that they were thinking of it like
01:05:36.680in a literal sense like this is now our like god that we're going to worship but just the concept
01:05:41.080of basically we it's like a symbol for reason right like it's like um what what other thing
01:05:49.680to uh to your point like i feel like there's a way of someone hearing that and thinking that
01:05:55.800it's like just really chauvinistic like women are bad god is good god is male god is good
01:05:59.800and i i don't think that that's what you mean but it's more i think it's more of like
01:06:03.540spirit what's that i said i think specifically there's a spirit and and that spirit right now
01:06:10.360and i know this is going to bleed into this conversation uh about the bledsoes but there
01:06:14.980is a feminine spirit that is presenting itself to these two uh gentlemen chris bledsoe and uh
01:06:21.160and his son ryan bledsoe who are uh self-professed christians and i don't think that they don't love
01:06:28.280god i think that they just had a profound experience that has fundamentally deceived
01:06:33.320them about its nature and um and through this spirit uh they've managed to make a a series of
01:06:41.800predictions about the future and i think this started back in 2016 and and these predictions
01:06:47.020included you know this iran versus israel situation but that when that exchange would
01:06:54.460finally come to a head that we would see the appearance of all of these orbs that would come
01:07:00.520out of the ocean and they would somehow stop i think nuclear war what's fascinating about that
01:07:05.600is throughout the abduction experiences abductees if they are imparted any information from their
01:07:13.040captors it is usually about um one being special and chosen uh but number two there's a coming
01:07:20.020calamity that you have to avoid now that calamity used to be it's changed throughout history which
01:07:26.140i think is fascinating and it even has been accompanied with dates you know predictions
01:07:31.000and dates that never came to pass um but it would be any number of things uh man-made destruction
01:07:37.100of the planet via pollution um global warming uh would would lead to all sorts of catastrophes
01:07:44.060magnetic pole shift has been a very popular one and i would say probably the most popular one is
01:07:51.240nuclear war you have to watch out for nuclear war and um and that if humanity can get beyond
01:07:57.900these hurdles that we might ascend this is overwhelmingly the narrative that is given to
01:08:03.800abductee victims and i think what that does by the way is it um it blinds them because what's
01:08:11.540happened is they've experienced something profound they've been given a terrifying revelation and
01:08:17.500they've also been told that they're special and chosen that's a really really dangerous uh cocktail
01:08:23.940in in order to even individual to take someone who is it is i mean again it's not to crap on
01:08:30.180woman i love my wife but it's a feminine aspect like when we're looking at today's cultural
01:08:34.140maladies everybody gets a trophy kind of thing right yeah everyone's included the inclusivity
01:08:39.320idea is a feminine idea the masculine will come in with order and that's exactly what genesis uh
01:08:45.560genesis chapter one verse two is talking about it's talking about uh so here we go um the earth
01:08:51.640was without forming void and uh darkness was upon the face of the deep so the deep is translated as
01:09:00.280tayom and that just means like deep waters primordial waters and in in the ancient hebrew
01:09:06.200that's associated with the female like it's tiamat it well yeah yeah it could be trends like
01:09:11.460you know mixed with tiamat that's like the dragon that we'll see at the end but it's talking about
01:09:15.860the the oceans the chaotic waters and out of these oceans comes birth so this is a female aspect and
01:09:23.460it's given that reason it's given that that connotation because out of the female comes
01:09:28.800these chaotic they're chaotic water and out of them comes the birth of a child it's like new life
01:09:34.060so it's not that i want to crap on them they're absolutely necessary it's the extremes on the
01:09:40.320extreme masculine you get uh fascism yeah and out of the extreme feminine you get chaos and disorder
01:09:46.620uh you know extreme extreme masculine is extreme order which comes with all kinds of horrifying
01:09:51.980things uh and out of the extreme feminine comes uh equally horrifying things just have a different
01:09:57.440uh flavor this is like one of my favorite it's my my favorite verse and it's like and the spirit
01:10:01.860of god moved upon the face of the waters and when you look at that translation like he moved upon
01:10:07.180but it really says that he just like kind of like stilled it he just told it to like yeah all right
01:10:12.340calm down so he is this masculine force over these chaotic waters which is necessary because if it
01:10:18.180wasn't necessary god would not create it and it would not exist he would have just gotten rid of
01:10:22.580it but it's necessary for some reason so he moves upon he's like yo calm down and then we're going
01:10:27.440to start making stuff never tell chaotic waters to calm down yeah this is the second verse of the
01:10:31.420bible it's it's insane it's all right here for you there's another layer to that that's really
01:10:36.200interesting as well which is the idea that the way that that's written is as a direct polemic
01:10:41.580or argument against some of the other ancient near eastern cosmologies where you would have
01:10:45.920had like a water deity and so it's probably operating at multiple levels but it's the idea
01:10:50.920of like our god is the most high and he is over your god like he like in their reading they're
01:10:58.880like wait your god is hovering over our over our water god because we thought our water god was
01:11:03.460the best no no like yahweh is above and he and he brings basically ordered out of that chaos that
01:11:10.320you're talking about which is actually really cool in the gospel of mark and i think some of
01:11:13.700the others but i just read it in the gospel of mark the other week where when jesus calms the
01:11:17.340storm and the response of the disciples is like they see the connection they're like wait you
01:11:22.980control weather you bring order to the chaotic storm you're you're at perfect peace asleep
01:11:30.740restful amidst the chaos and you with the word with the power of your word still the chaos and
01:11:36.820still the waters who is this guy and they basically are beginning to get the idea so
01:11:41.320that's one of the cool ways in which jesus not says and you know people are saying jesus never
01:11:45.840claimed to be god well he we don't have that exact like quote but in that action he's saying
01:11:51.480is this ringing a bell for you guys look at what i can do who else can do this look at who i am
01:11:57.520does this remind you of that exactly the thing that you're talking about there the the order
01:12:02.580out of chaos and the dominion over the creation itself i i want to get to some of this bled so
01:12:08.520stuff but that is fascinating i sorry i just love how the bible will just like it references itself
01:12:14.020yes that shows it it's a phenomenon what's it called um that cross referencing yourself it
01:12:20.340starts with a c i forget but there's like no other book outside of the bible that does it
01:12:24.640as consistently as the bible does it and when you see it in that graph yeah it's it's phenomenal
01:12:29.580yeah you couldn't write a movie or or or you know a piece of fiction or anything that has it's almost
01:12:36.240like callbacks yeah constant constant constant referencing within itself across all these books
01:12:41.860written by all these people across all this time constantly cross-referencing itself it's it's
01:12:50.340So, uh, within Christianity, let's say the, um, uh, I don't want to use a derogatory term, but what's coming to mind is like the watered down version of Christianity that people are typically accustomed with.
01:13:05.200In the West, there is this notion to dismiss other religions, other belief systems as non-existent, which I think in the sense of their gods are not real, which I think is a fundamental mistake because in my opinion, the Bible does a great job of highlighting that these other entities, deities that are being worshipped are real.
01:13:33.580and i don't know where the disconnect came in i don't know what happened to modern christianity
01:13:38.260where people will look at any other religion and say their gods don't exist their gods are fake
01:13:44.560when i think it is much more helpful um at understanding not only the world that we live in
01:13:52.740but also why it's wrong to worship these other gods uh it's much more helpful to understand that
01:14:02.080they do exist. Do you see that in, in, in your communications with people? What do you make of
01:14:07.180that? Yeah. So after, uh, this is like, you know, how many years ago now, this is 2012. So I'm
01:14:15.340showing my age, but I went, uh, right after college, I went to Africa and spent three months
01:14:21.080there just, um, and this like Africa Trek thing, just like basically sleeping in tents, living with
01:14:26.420local pastors and like really going like deep into the bush. And that was when this point that
01:14:33.160you're making slapped me in the face. And I realized, oh, my word, like all of these
01:14:39.460animistic spirits and snake spirits and idols that are being worshipped and witch doctors that
01:14:47.300are governing the local villages. It's not fake. It's not make believe. It's all real. It's just
01:14:55.300evil um yeah but you know so like i'll give one kind of graphic ish but i think it makes the
01:15:02.200clear um there was like a a wooden idol with a phallus that would be like oiled and the women
01:15:15.300would basically copulate with this idol in order to be um blessed and impregnated with good things
01:15:24.840And they actually, through that act, became demon-possessed.
01:15:37.880But then the local pastors are explaining to me, no, like the act, like the sex act is a giving over of the self to the entity.
01:15:46.880And he uses that as basically a mechanism for impregnating them literally with a demon, essentially.
01:15:57.460And there's all kinds of stuff like that.
01:15:59.240When a baby's born into these villages, they'll slice their backs like right above their buttocks and they'll collect that blood in a vial.
01:16:07.160And they literally have, uh, cabinets with vials of blood of all of the babies in the
01:16:12.860village, all under the banner of protection.
01:16:15.540And, and we're the, we're like the good guys, right?
01:16:17.760We're the witch doctors and the babies have, you know, like they wear charm necklaces there.
01:16:22.720So, um, you know, I'll just give one story.
01:16:25.500Like we went to this hospital and there was this baby that had, it looked like basically
01:17:00.840And my friend next to me, Daniel is Spanish.
01:17:04.720he's from spain and his mom was basically a witch before he became a christian so he grew up in a
01:17:10.400household deeply ensconced in the occult and all of a sudden he's like oh my word he's like i know
01:17:16.480what this is and i'm like what do you mean and he it was actually beautiful he just like takes
01:17:21.680action and reaches out and just breaks the necklace off of the baby's neck and then just
01:17:27.920puts his hand onto the baby's head and just begins to cast out the demon and he just you know he says
01:17:32.720i know you are and i rebuke you in jesus mighty name and i command you to leave this child alone
01:17:36.960you must leave now in the powerful name of jesus and the baby literally goes calm and we were like
01:17:43.760whoa what in the world is this and again i'm thinking you know i still have this like modernistic
01:17:49.760sort of like skeptical lens that i'm looking at this as like you said however you put it kind of
01:17:54.080just a vanilla ordinary boring american christian whatever so i'm just looking at this and i'm like
01:17:59.440you know but maybe it's like the heat of his hand on the like the warmth of his hand on the baby's
01:18:04.560head just felt good and like i'm kind of just trying to like de-spiritualize it you know which
01:18:08.720is like shame on me right but that's just the truth of how i was thinking about it at the time
01:18:14.000and then what was really cool is the next day we came back to the same hospital to do like grounds
01:18:18.960work uh cleaning up the facility and that type of thing and that doctor who was there came out and
01:18:25.280he was like beaming and he's like my brother i have to tell you this baby is feeling very fine
01:18:30.720all the time ever since you pray and we were just like whoa so we got that like that confirmation
01:18:36.240from him that what happened there was real and it was permanent and whatever was causing the
01:18:42.240baby to tremble tremble like that was gone and so that was the first time i saw like an an exorcism
01:18:48.640and that trip included a lot more of that like um even some mass exorcisms that we got to see
01:18:54.800firsthand. And this one village, like a thousand year old snake spirit where everyone was literally
01:18:59.280slithering on the ground. And the girl who I was talking to said, she said that she had snakes in
01:19:03.540her belly. And, um, I mean, it took four hours. It took four hours to cast out all of these demons.
01:19:10.040And, um, they, they even started like taking off their skirts and like trying to distract the
01:19:14.000pastors with sexuality. And it was like the craziest thing. Um, and so, yeah, all of, sorry,
01:19:19.280All of that just to say, for me, that was the tipping point of realizing that there is no such thing as just an idol.
01:19:30.080Like all of those things come into existence because the person who made it is looking for connection with something and believing something and wanting to worship something.
01:19:40.200and the devil is never going to like let someone uh just do do like a like a purely materialistic
01:19:48.760form of idol worship it's like great if you're opening yourself up to if you're desiring to put
01:19:53.100your affection and your attention and your worship towards this thing i would love to use that i would
01:19:57.800love to get in the mix of that and so yeah my my worldview now is exactly what you're saying like
01:20:02.260um a law is real um the god of mormonism is real the gods of hinduism are real they're all they're
01:20:09.660all real and they're and it's also so profound because it's like they directly go against the
01:20:16.400actual god like the the one true god they go like like i'm actually reading this book right now
01:20:22.060where i lead like the online community called the wisdom society and we're reading this book called
01:20:26.700seeking allah finding jesus by nabeel koreshi and in this book he taught and i'm not trying to sell
01:20:31.860this book i didn't write it he actually he actually passed away and he's an amazing uh he
01:20:36.220actually did interview him in my documentary. He's an amazing, amazing, smart, brilliant,
01:20:40.000and has all the Eastern mindset. He's a genius on understanding Islam and communicating what's
01:20:43.880wrong with it. And in this book, he writes about how Islam directly attacks Christian ideas. It
01:20:54.720says, God is not a father and he doesn't have a son. And if you really think about it, it's like,
01:21:00.760that's a really specific thing for a lot to be saying like like thou doth protest too much
01:21:06.760right but then if you think about it from the context that you're saying like an a a spiritual
01:21:12.960warfare perspective it's like of course Allah would put a bullseye on the back of the God of
01:21:18.740Christianity and pre-program all people under Islam towards the idea that God is not a father
01:21:24.000and he doesn't have a son so that when they end up hearing about Christianity by missionaries
01:21:29.380across the last you know the next thousand years they go oh this is like in defiance with what is
01:21:34.420true like god is not a father and he doesn't have a son we've been taught that from a young age
01:21:38.420so to me that makes so much sense on the view that like the entity that muhammad met in the cave when
01:21:47.220he was in isolation and fasting the entity that when he first experienced it it made him want to
01:21:52.900go to the top of the mountain and throw himself off he literally was suicidal um he went to his
01:21:57.860his first wife and she says, hey, maybe it's not such a bad thing. Why don't you go back?
01:22:06.560And then he's like, okay, yeah, maybe this is good. Maybe I should start a religion. But his
01:22:09.700first response was he said he felt like his neck was going to snap and he wanted to climb to a
01:22:14.820high mountain and he wanted to throw himself off. In fact, he wanted to commit suicide three times
01:22:20.500according to the Hadith, upon his initial interaction with Gabriel, who, give me a break,
01:22:26.720right? So the point is, yes, I agree with you. It's not just like psychological beliefs. Hey,
01:22:34.400what if we start a religion called Islam? No, no, no. There's a real encounter, a real interaction
01:22:38.660with an entity that Muhammad had, and it gave them an anti-Christ message. The Apostle Paul
01:22:44.800talks about this in the Bible. If any spirit, even an angel, Paul explicitly says that,
01:22:49.660even if an angel comes to you and tells you a message different than this one, consider that
01:22:55.060spirit to be antichrist. And lo and behold, Gabriel, an angel comes to Muhammad and says,
01:23:01.400God is not a father and he doesn't have a son. So it was predicted by Paul and it happened in
01:23:07.620Islam. And that's just one example. If you look at Mormonism, it's very similar. And if you go to
01:23:12.220like Hinduism and these types of things, I think it's the same story. If you go to Mesoamerica,
01:23:18.100it's the same story it's like i just think it's all over the place like they're like there is a
01:23:22.840spiritual world and we're living in it and like we've already said there's there's good guys and
01:23:28.580bad guys and i just don't think that like world religions are going to be happening in a vacuum
01:23:33.100that is separate from the actual cosmic battle between good and evil all right man that that
01:23:38.440you've said a lot of fascinating things dude and i'll never apologize for telling us stories like
01:23:43.620that no that's what this show is really about at the heart of the show yeah so so i mean you're
01:23:48.160talking about being in africa and you know you mentioned like mesoamerica india and everything
01:23:53.380they have these these principalities over them these these spiritual powers that have really
01:23:59.880captured these nations and yeah a lot of people look at the things that they do and they think
01:24:06.280that they're nonsense you know because to us especially in the west a lot of their ceremonies
01:24:10.420and rituals their dances and their their practices look insane um and i guess in some ways it's it's
01:24:17.060because they are you know you're doing a crazy thing for a fallen entity um how two things how
01:24:25.400old were you when you went to africa and maybe even why after college i was like 21 and it was
01:24:35.000yeah it was like a three-month mission trip through a organization called operation mobilization
01:24:39.240and it was just all about like going alongside with the local churches and all these little
01:24:44.740tiny nowhere communities and just like uh and just getting to experience what life is like for them
01:24:50.680working alongside them um a lot of like you know funny things like drama and comedy and skits and
01:24:56.840stuff for the kids and just playing and just trying to be the hands and feet of christ a lot of like
01:25:00.560you know practical like food and and that type of thing and a lot of um you know preaching of
01:25:06.140gospel and like things that are hokey and america like going door to door it's like oh don't do that
01:25:10.540it's so on the nose there they're like oh my word we have someone from obamaland like coming to our
01:25:14.940home like this is amazing like let's talk to you and it's like totally chill and they give you a
01:25:18.700little something and you just talk for hours and explain like we're here for this reason like we
01:25:23.020we believe this and we want you to know this because we believe it's it's true and it's the
01:25:27.500best thing it's the best news and so it's just um yeah that i mean it's basically a mission strip
01:25:32.140in short. But then what was surprising was, oh my word, we are not in Kansas anymore. It is all
01:25:41.000exterior and on display and in your face and undeniably paradigm shifting in terms of the
01:25:50.000reality of the spiritual world. And like I said, the externalization of the spiritual battle where
01:25:57.000it's like witch doctors verse pastors and it's a showdown and you're and you're like seeing it
01:26:04.200happen um like in a way that in the west everything because lady reason has for the time being won
01:26:11.820the day and because you know the biggest trick that the devil ever played is convincing us that
01:26:15.540he doesn't exist and because he was right when he said that you know god is dead we've killed him
01:26:20.960beautiful. That's better. Better to be in shadow, better to be subversive, better to operate against
01:26:27.280people without them even knowing that you are. This is fantastic. The devil loves the modern
01:26:31.900West. It's very easy to operate in the shadow in a subversive way. In Africa, it's not like that.
01:26:37.620It's like everybody leaves in the spiritual. They described it to me like their consciousness is
01:26:43.480shaped like this and Western consciousness is shaped like this. And that's how it is. Everyone's
01:26:48.140just wide open to it so it's like okay then where's the power at and the beautiful thing i could tell
01:26:52.720you guys all kinds of stories where the holy spirit is just like i'm still in charge buddies
01:26:56.800and he just like showcases his power over demons and it's just amazing to see um i'll tell you one
01:27:04.740story if you guys are if you guys like this okay so uh this guy um fredson who's just i mean i i
01:27:14.420just first got to say, living in a mud hut, 40 cents a day is like his total amount of money that
01:27:23.520he has through his missionary fund. All he does from sunup to sundown is preach the gospel. He
01:27:32.200goes this direction and goes and talks to the Muslims over here. He goes over here and talks
01:27:38.020to the animus he is just a single guy who's just all out blood sweat and tears that's all he's
01:27:45.880doing and i don't even know where he gets the stamina and so you know we're along with him
01:27:49.380we're like how many more miles are we going to walk he's like my friend we have six more miles
01:27:53.640but you'll be fine just just learn to pray my friend learn to pray and i'm like oh my goodness
01:27:58.260this guy's crazy so just this legendary guy right so he starts telling us some stories
01:28:04.160about you know his his life his mission etc and there was a time when he was going into basically
01:28:15.140a totally unreached area it was like a witch doctor village like a hub almost like a witch
01:28:21.380doctor boot camp if you will and so he goes there and they are totally closed off to him like
01:28:29.880spiritually they can understand that he is uh a christian and they're totally hostile they don't
01:28:34.800talk to him whatever but he basically um uh there's like a a um an area that's like about a
01:28:42.580mile or whatever so so from there and he gets a little like a little hut there that's like a
01:28:46.200neighboring village and he knows somebody there so he's like i'm gonna like sleep the night here
01:28:49.200and then i'll walk back in in the morning and try to reach them again the next day right so in the
01:28:59.880coming down uh the hut and they're like poisonous snakes and he basically realizes like oh the witch
01:29:07.520doctors have like put snakes into my into my hut to kill me and uh i'll totally butcher it but like
01:29:15.440the way he tells the story is so amazing he goes i just pray to god and i just reach out and touch
01:29:22.720this snake and the snake just goes to sleep like like wait wait wait what happened and he goes and
01:29:30.780then i just see the other one and god just says i have given you power and i just touch the other
01:29:38.180snake and it goes to sleep and so basically he just touches these snakes and they all just die
01:29:45.040and then the next day he goes back to the witch doctor the witch doctors with the snakes and he
01:29:51.620goes my friend i think you have left something with me and he just and they're like and they're
01:29:59.160like shocked they're like you know who are you and what is this power that you hold and then yeah
01:30:05.120then i tell them i'm with god and the holy spirit is more powerful than you and basically this entire
01:30:13.160um boot camp of witch doctors comes to christ and oh yeah and they become pastors um so it's
01:30:23.720really cool that's huge because they they don't have to cross the barrier of understanding that
01:30:29.240the spiritual realm is real they're they're dealing with it constantly all you have to do
01:30:34.700in that particular instance is show them yeah yeah yeah what you're doing great fine that's all good
01:30:39.800uh the holy spirit is way more powerful than what you're doing and they go oh okay
01:30:43.400and they just go because well so what does this entire experience do i'm curious because i'm
01:30:50.860trying to frame this within this western uh truncated version of christianity um and and
01:30:57.800what it could potentially do for them these people here here in america to have a deeper understanding
01:31:03.780of the nature of the spiritual realm what did seeing all of this and and interacting with it
01:31:09.560And, you know, having it be right in front of your face, how did it change your faith?
