Candace Owens hits a new low by going directly at Erica Kirk and Erica Kirk has a direct message just for Candace Owens.

We have spectacular documentation of her flip flopping on just this brand new evidence debunking the Egyptian planes theory that she's been propagating, examining why Tucker Carlson doesn't believe the official narrative and punchline.

It has to do with the Egyptian planes.

The real reason Nick Fuentes has had this explosive sudden rise that he's had Ticketmaster was forced to issue an apology to a major artist and Forrest Frank dealing with the same backlash after announcing his new Jesus Generation tour.

And Speaking of tours guys, I am going on tour myself March 21st launching in Houston at the House of Blues.

If you hit the link in the pink comment, you can get your tickets now at the House of Blues.

They start at 34 bucks which is very reasonable.

March 21st I'm in Houston at the House of Blues, Dallas, TX.

I'm at the Echo Lounge and again, all of of these general admission tickets start at around 34 bucks.

There is a pre event Q&A that you can get tickets to will be in Chicago, Oakmont, Arlington, VA, which is the DC area, New York, NY, Los Angeles, Tampa, Clearwater, FL, Atlanta.

Go buy your tickets now starting March 21st Houston.

I know a lot of you guys are watching from Houston.

Get your tickets now.

I can't wait to be with you guys in person.

Let's jump into this video.

OK, so absolutely new low for Candace Owens now officially going at Erica Kirk.

I'll let you hear her crash out here and then I'll play you guys a version of Erica Kirk responding directly to her.

And we'll just highlight how she's absolutely flip-flopped on this entire thing.

So this is her now.

She she kind of rambles a bit about how you shouldn't talk about people making money off Charlie Kirk.

And she kept saying thousands.

It's like Candace, you've made likely 10s of millions of dollars.

When you factor in the number of views, the Super chats and the number of brand integrations on top of what she saying, well, Turning Point made $40 million.

It's like they made $40 million from donors for their organization.

You're enriching yourself.

You don't have a nonprofit.

You don't have an organization that goes on campuses and persuades young people on these issues.

It's just you.

So you enriching yourself off of the death of Charlie Kirk is different than Turning Point, getting donors or selling merchandise.

It's absolutely different.

But anyway, let's look at the deplorable crash out here directly at Erica Kirk.

I never thought I would see this.

Like I didn't think we would cross this line.

Almost like I want to be clear that Turning Point USA is my family.

The Charlie Kirk show is my family.

You know, like she's, she's just expanding the wings of people that were not allowed to critique because they're in the family.

If you call them fam, you can't, right?

No, no, it's the very people that Charlie Kirk hand selected because you critiquing them is basically saying Charlie versus Charlie versus buffoon who never knew how to pick good people because everyone betrayed him.

It's actually a character attack on him.

And so yeah, you're attacking the very people that he cares about, the people that meant the most to him, the people, the organization that he built that you're trying to tear down that you are asking for people to get refund requests from.

Yes, that's his.

That's his family.

You're hurting the thing.

He.

And I hate to say this, but I'm going to be very clear here.

This is why there are many people who do not believe that women are equipped to lead companies.

Because what you are watching here is an unbelievably emotional response that is absent of any logic.

OK.

If this is not the kettle calling the the pop black, like if the if the kettle look calling the pop black was a person, it would be Candace Owens.

She is running a company as a it's her company.

It's her name on everything.

So this is hilarious that and This is why women, which women share run companies.

My gosh, this straight, this is straight up this is this is an attack.

OK, if you really care about your team, answer the questions, OK, Just demystify the entire event answer, come out, sit down, answer the questions so people don't think Turning Point USA looks so suspicious.

Don't try to like mom the organization and say, well, mother's upset because people are coming after her kids and all of this subsidy.

Multi $1,000,000 subsidiaries.

That's my children.

OK, the the multi $1,000,000 subsidiaries, Turning Point, like Turning Point Action, those are my kids.

So you can't critique them.

No, she's saying you are going after Charlie's friends and the people he hand picked.

We're not talking about subsidiaries.

We're not talking about questions.

And again, which questions does she even have?

Because so many of these things get debunked, but she moves on to 29 other questions.

We could just spend the rest of the decade answering all of the questions that she pontificates.

So anyway, absolutely new low for Candace Owens.

Now, before I show you how bad she absolutely flip-flopped on this, I got to show you guys how Erica directly responded to her by name because initially she didn't say her name.

Responding to her name coming up yesterday.

And then I'll show you how bad Candace flip flop.

The podcaster Candace Owens, OK, at one time a friend of Charlie's, at one time an employee of Turning Point.

She has been one of the main peddlers of these conspiracies and she is making a huge amount of money on it.

She is building her business off of these lies.

What do you want to say to her and the other people that are putting these lies out into the world right now?

Stop.

That's it.

That's all I have to say.

OK, pretty straightforward, right?

Pretty clear that's what Erica wants.

Now look.

Look at how bad Candace flip-flopped on this.

Shout out to Milk Bar TV.

He always has some of the best compilations of just her absolute erratic behavior.

Check this out.

No one, and I mean absolutely no one outside of my husband and Erica Kirk has the power to shut me up right now.

That's it.

There's nobody that has the capacity to get me to shut up about this except for Erica Kirk.

And I will say this like I am on this journey to figure out what happened on that day.

I'm not going to stop unless Erica Kirk asks me to stop.

I said early on, if Erica Kirk asks me to be quiet, I will be quiet.

But when you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my Charlie Kirk Show family, when you go after the people that I love and you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode.

But this is not OK.

It's a no from me.

But you know me.

I'm I'm just out here saying what needs to be said.

This is it's gross.

I mean, I don't understand how anyone can look at this and be like, no, no, no, no, no, it's OK.

She is now flip-flopped yet again.

She has flip-flopped yet again on this very issue.

I find it repulsive.

Like the fact that Erica is saying stop clear, clear as it could possibly be, please stop.

I added the please for good measure.

Stop.

Nope.

So before we get into some of these claims about Egyptian planes being debunked, which by the way, is what Tucker Carlson just talked about on Theo Von and now it's and how Tucker Carlson said he knows that's a fact.

We're going to get there.

Let's get into the daily proverb because I think it speaks directly into this issue.

And if you guys didn't know, we encourage every single one of you guys read a chapter of Proverbs a day based on a day of the month that it is today.

So we are in Proverbs Chapter 11.

The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

Wealth is worthless in a day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

So I want to show you guys this really cool feature in Logos is the insights feature.

By the way, Logos is giving every single one of you guys a free 60 day trial.

This software used to be only for like theologians and scholars and pastors cost hundreds of dollars, if not thousands of dollars now free 60 day trial.

And then after that, I think it's like 12 bucks a month.

OK, so here in in the commentary version that you can hit insights and it takes you to a commentary and we could even click right into this to read more about it.

But this is telling us merchants used weights to measure out money to produce dishonest merchants used faulty scales or weights to cheat their customer.

This practice was prohibited by the law and condemned by the prophets because it was used to oppress the impoverished.

In this commentary across references how a false balance is an abomination to what To Yahweh, but a just weight is well pleasing.

And So what Proverbs is getting at here is having false weights and false measures for certain things to deceive people while changing the weights to accurate when it pleases you.

And this is what we see with a lot of the stuff coming out, the goal post being moved, dishonest slight of hand tactics, and when things are actually exposed, person moves on to the next thing.

And I'm going to show you guys in a very clear example and highlight another channel that's been doing a great job debunking many of the claims and showing many of the lies of Candace Owens.

But before we get into that again, I would be a bad friend if I didn't tell you or celebrate Christmas with purpose sale happening right now for the next 5 days.

Pick yourself up something from the blessedgod.co shop.

It's linked below.

It's a great way to support what we're doing here and it's a great way to knock out some of your shopping without having to overthink it or wait till the last minute.

And Speaking of overthinking it, Tucker Carlson is definitely starting to overthink this entire thing.

It sounds like Candace Owens has gotten in his ear.

Here's the claim he made trying to clarify some of the stuff.

And then I'm going to show you guys what he said about the Egyptian planes.

And we're going to absolutely debunk this together.

And I'm going to provide you the sources so you can go look it up for yourself or at the very least have a other channel that you can go and look at to highlight some of the utter buffoonery that is coming out from all of these conspiracy theories.

OK, so here's Tucker Carlson on Charlie Kirk's assassination.

Again, this is from, I guess, upload yesterday.

We're going to look at what he said on Theo Von, and this is kind of where he's landing the plane.

About the FBI specifically.

We are potentially letting our largest federal law enforcement agency off the hook.

It is the job of the FBI to find out what happened and to tell the rest of us not hide behind well, it's national security.

Confidential sources.

No, Tell us what happened.

Show us what happened.

Convince us what happened.

That's your job.

I think Checker's confused.

It's not the FB is job to convince the public what happened.

It's the FB is job to put together a case and try this thing before a jury and in court.

So they've collected evidence, tried this, and then as this comes out, then you will have access to information in the middle of the trial.

So if you guys didn't know, Jay, Wonder Wallace addressed this in yesterday's video, but we'll drop it in again here for you guys to understand how these things are actually compiled.

So I think Tucker's just a bit confused, like this is not meant to play out before the entire world.

As an investigator, I don't want the public to know anything about my case, anything.

Once I got the guy identified and he's in custody, I've caught him.

I have one more event in this case, the trial.

That's it.

The investigation's over.

The arrest is over.

I'm down to prosecution now.

You'll hear about it if you want to televise the process, the investigation, the prosecution, the trial, but otherwise, I'm not going to say anything about those pieces.

Now, what I've created in the public's eye is a bunch of unanswered questions.

Where's the autopsy report?

Oh, they're not releasing the autopsy report.

That seems a bit odd.

No, that's not unusual.

That's every case I've ever worked.

You know, if I didn't need to have a video out there to identify my suspect, I'm not telling anything to anybody until they go to trial.

Sometimes That trial, by the way, is 4 years downstream from the arrest.

I've had a couple of those.

And how's this all coming together from?

Why is this all happening?

Because he doesn't understand the official story, specifically the Egyptian planes, which we're going to look at here in a SEC.

Want everything to do that, but I will say a couple of things.

I don't understand the official story at all.

I was.

Assassination I.

Don't, I don't, I don't understand rigorous.

And on the, I think that one of the, I don't know many of the details, but I know that recently Candace said that Egyptian registered aircraft were following Erica Kirk, Charlie's widow, around for a number of years in different places in the world.

That's one of the weirdest things I've ever heard.

And I just want to say that that is factually true.

So he said that is factually true.

Now we're going to unpack this together.

OK, so let's get into this entire Egyptian Plains theory that they have been talking about.

This is a channel called Paramount Tactical.

One of the channels that actually went to the site where Charlie Kirk was tragically assassinated, walked through some of the nonsense that Candace was talking about with regarding Spider Man like activities and all this sort of stuff, and has done a great job of weaving together all the lies and piercing them together.

Now in this video, he talks about specifically the Egyptian planes nonsense being debunked and he highlights a creator who's on X and we're going to look at her X as well.

Her name is Shawna and she goes over the Egyptian plane theory and just walks us right through.

It so initially when Candace mentioned about the Egyptian planes, I don't know well, the first Egyptian plane a few whatever a month or so ago, I noticed that not just that she had the time zone incorrect, but she also said the plane landed at an Army base in Nebraska.

And on her own screenshot, it said just a regular public Omaha, NE airport for the flight history.

And I was like, this is so weird.

So then when she came out a few weeks later and she had the whole spreadsheets and the mommy slews and she said that there were whatever 70 something 70 times that these planes were overlapping with Erica Kirk.

I was like, so how did you verify Erica's locations because she's not very public with all of that stuff.

It's interesting that none of our fans ask this, like, how do you know where Erica's been for the last several years?

How are you keeping track of this?

Where did you get this from?

Right.

Like, it's like, I guess Charlie's a bit more public, but the, the fact that she just for certain knew that they were following planes, following Erica around.

Crazy.

So this is this is a great question.

OK, let's let Shawna cook.

Second of all, why would Erica Kirk be at all of these, all of these events and Charlie was only at some of them?

Like that didn't make sense to me.

So I was like, let me just look up these flight histories.

So I screenshot her the spreadsheet that she had on her show and I just started going looking at the flight histories.

Now, I could only go back for 12 months on things like flight radar 24 or something, but I don't know where this woman got this information from.

I don't know if she it's even, I don't, I don't know.

But what I found is that for the last 12 months between both planes, there were 2020 entries for locations and flight history on that spreadsheet.

Of those, 25 of them were duplicates, so there were only 15.

Of those 15, only six of them were correct.

Whoops, now again, you guys could go check this out on Shauna's ex account where she walks through all of this sarcastic liberty and this is not an endorsement of anything she's ever posted.

So don't don't miss with that the Egyptian planes that could only go back and find history for the last year.

The number I put are corresponding to the spreadsheet.

5 of the 8 are wrong.

The plains hadn't even left Egypt.

As for Erica's location, not sure anyone could verify those.

But the spreadsheet says on 9/10 Erica was in Nebraska, Delaware for a Turning Point USA media appearance.

But Erica herself said she stayed back home in Arizona to be with her mom.

Why people continue to argue that Candace Owens is thorough and never wrong is baffling.

OK.

And so she has all of these receipts.

You guys can go and look at these for yourself on her X account.

OK, let me let her cook some more on this.

Wow.

And of those six that were correct, obviously I don't know what Erica's locations were, but one of them, it says on the 10th that Erica was in Nebraska slash Delaware, which I don't, I don't understand that, but she wasn't, she was in Arizona.

And then it said that on the 13th that she was like at a Turning Point event in Provo.

I don't know about that for sure, but I tend to doubt it.

But for sure the 10th was not right.

So maybe, maybe 5, maybe less of those 20 entries were not accurate at all, not even close.

Like a plane in Cairo for months and months at a time and then it's.

Yeah.

Did you notice also that Candace kind of flip flops the term military plane and Egyptian planes?

She creates this, this narrative and you can kind of get the picture in your mind that you see some F22's flying following GRE, but then later on it's like just a Gulfstream and she kind of jumps back and forth Military plane.

No, it's, it's a charter.

It's a it's a Gulfstream.

Stop it.

Right, right.

So, so pretty interesting, right.

So, so, so here's the issue.

It probably took her some time to go and get the flight logs and piece all this together and figure out what was happening.

And the issue is that many of us don't have time to chase down every single claim that Candace made.

But if you guys want to see some of that, go subscribe to Paramount Tactical and he has a video going over some of these things.

This is a whole video going over for the multiple lies that Candace has put together that he's found and he's going to make more.

So if you if you need these sorts of resources for friends and family that are like completely checked out in sort in this sort of things, here is a great channel.

Props to him.

I've been enjoying his content.

And Speaking of enjoying content, one of the things that we are rolling out here on our new Daily Show, not sure if you've been keeping up, is a way for you guys to call in and ask me your questions.

Now we're opening this up to our Patreon paid community.

If you go to our Patreon, you could sign up for just six, 99 a month.

It's a great way for you to partner with us, and we're trying to open up the lines for you guys to call in and answer some of your guys' questions.

And I did just that today for the first time and answered your guys's question.

So if you guys want to get in on this, sign up on Patreon.

Now some great questions came up, spicy ones, dare I say.

First brother asked me why am I talking about Candace Owens?

The second caller talked about transitioning from jobs and some very practical things after moving across country and this Lastly, we talked about masculinity and what does it look like to be a follower of Jesus and exhibit biblical masculinity.

Let me know what you guys think about this.

First of all, lot of soul.

God bless you brother.

And I just wanted to know why you keep talking about Candace, man.

Why do you why do you think I keep?

I'm not a fan?

Why do you?

Why do you?

Why do you think I keep talking?

About Candace, I think I, I think, I know, I think, I think you're, it's not that you necessarily want to, but there's probably some people you're that cross your audience and her audience and you're trying to tell them, Hey, if you're over here and maybe you're thinking about being a Christian, don't, don't you don't listen to her.

You know what I mean?

And this is the better way to think.

But also just me being a fan of you and wanting to hear what you have to say about other things.

It's like I'm just not clicking on a Candon video and you know what I mean?

But I still love you, brother.

I still love you.

If you noticed, we've been putting out a video every day that has nothing to do with Candace on the main channel.

So I'm not sure if you're seeing those.

We put out.

That's a video this morning with Wes Huff.

So we have been putting out other videos.

This is a part of the show.

Here's why I think how we come to conclusions of truth is so important.

I think how we how we know anything and how we talk about these things is so important.

And so Candace is distorting and perverting reality for people and I think that has downward effects.

And my deeper concern here is, Brandon, is that there is.

An apathy and a nihilism that slides in when you repeatedly tell people the system's rigged, they're all out to get you and I'm the only source of truth and you could only come to me.

And so that's why I'm doing the woke right challenge, which I'm telling people, hey, take 30 days off.

No Candace Owens, no Tucker Carlson, no Nick Foon says nothing.

That's going to tell you that the system's rigged.

You can't get ahead.

You can't do it and only fill yourself with wholesome things because I think they're actually going at the fabric of what is real, like what is truth.

And as people of of followers of Jesus, like, I think that is absolutely important to us.

Yeah, you're right.

I just hate and steal but I get it.

I get it.

It's all good man.

Thanks for calling in.

Brandon, you at all?

Yes.

Sir, No, you good, bro?

I appreciate you, man.

Have a good one, brother.

Hey, yeah.

Hey, Tarika.

Thanks for calling in.

What's your question sis?

Well, I think the question is kind of related to godly ambition.

I haven't actually been able to pick up your book and read it yet, but my husband and I, we recently got married.

We're still newlyweds, been married just over a year now, if you consider that newlyweds, but that's.

Awesome.

Thank you so much.

We're super, super happy.

And we've recently moved to be closer to his family.

We kind of moved across the country.

We were living in Texas, we moved to California.

That's where he's from.

Kind of did the inverse of what everyone else does right now, but.

We'll park, California.

Central Valley, so not not like by the beach or anywhere gorgeous, but great to be by family.

So we're grateful for that.

So kind of in this move, we were kind of moving by faith.

We didn't have jobs lined up or anything like that.

And so he's been able to kind of find a job, but I'm still in the waiting.

We've been here about 5 months now.

And my question is just kind of how can we stay faithful during this waiting season and in this time of just wanting to be used by God and wanting to allow our lives to reflect him.

But a lot of non Constance as we're still searching for churches and all these things and just waiting to find stable ground, you know?

Yeah, wow.

Well, I mean, I think it's OK to 1st acknowledge that you guys are in a tough season.

Like there's a lot of changes that have just happened.

Guys just started a life together as newlyweds.

You've moved across the country and yeah, I think it's OK to just stop, pause and say, OK, this is a very wild season for you guys.

And it's an adventure and it's probably fun at times.

It's probably scary at the same time, right?

So I think foundationally, I love the quote that we attributed, I want to say to Augustine all the time.

And I talk about it in my book.

Pray like it all depends on God and work like it all depends on you.

And I think that's usually my, my framework.

So I always encourage people document your prayers.

This is why we have like the blessed God prayer journal.

Not a, not a pitch to you directly, but document your prayers.

Like start writing out your prayers and be very specific with what you're praying for.

So if you guys are praying for a job, start documenting these things, praying for favor, start documenting these things because I think there's something to writing out our prayers and then seeing God answer them because often times he does answer them and we forget them.

Like I, I, I'm fairly confident at some point your husband will have a job, right?

But you said it's your husband that hasn't found a job.

Is that correct?

Just.

Sorry, it's kind of me who doesn't have the job.

He has a job.

It's not exactly.

We're not sure if it's what he wants to do for a long time.

But that was such an answer to prayer for him to just have one for me.

I still don't have one.

And you know, we were kind of the kids who did everything right.

We graduated college semi debt free.

We had a small one we had to pay back that, you know, we did everything the right way.

And then especially in Texas, the job market wasn't great.

So it just kind of became one of those things, well, let's be closer to family and see what the Lord does.

And and and in the area you're in, do you feel like the job market is better?

Yes and no.

That's kind of tough.

To answer because there are jobs, but even jobs respectfully, I feel qualified or only require a high school diploma, even struggling to get interviews.

So that's been a weird it.

It's just a weird time to be in the job market.

I know that seems popular, like people are unemployed and just bombs and want to be laying around, whereas like that's really not my desire.

My goal is to, you know, be helping contribute to our income and things like that, especially when we're in a season before we have kids.

Sorry, I think this is getting along with this is more than you're.

Good, you're good.

So, so again, I love that you guys are praying.

I love that he has a job, even if it's not the job he wants to have for the rest of his life.

I think often times employment is going to be connected to two things, your, your skill set and your ability to solve problems, but also your connections in your network, right.

So it's not just about hard work.

It's not just about applying for a bunch of jobs like you have to hopefully know somebody, have a foot in the door with someone and at the same time have a unique skill set.

And sounds like you guys both went to college.

You did the right things and you guys have that.

My advice to a lot of folks, and I don't know if you've heard of this, is I don't think there's anything wrong with saying, hey, let me utilize my time well by exploring something in the gig economy while I am trying to land somewhere with a job.

And so like I have a friend that's a comedian, maybe you've heard me tell the story before.

And he lives in a major city and he just kind of couldn't do the job thing anymore and ended up hopping on an app called Task Rabbit.

And on Task Rabbit, he be started painting houses eventually, but initially he was just doing like assembling furniture and very basic stuff and then built it up.

And now he's making, and I'm not exaggerating, making $10,000 a month, which is the most he's ever made in his life.

And then at night, he can go and pursue his comedy thing and do the open likes and hit that circuit.

And so I would encourage you while you have the time, are there any of these app based jobs that you could do, whether that's Task Rabbit, whether that's Uber Eats, whether that's Uber or Lyft, whether that's Instacart?

Have you explored some of those options for yourself?

I haven't.

Explored those specific things, you know, when we were in Texas and I would do side gigs alongside my regular job where I was like a babysitter and things like that.

But us being in the new area, I'm.

Sure.

There's some nanny, nanny apps like that as well.

I remember my wife was actually on one about 10 years ago when we had just transitioned.

She was trying to make a little bit of supplemental income.

And so there's nanny apps.

So I would encourage you like start there because what often times happens is people can start there, start building their skills up, start building their relationships.

And then before you know it, you have a couple side things and they might pay more than the like if you went and got a

typical 9:00 to 5:00.

Yeah, definitely.

That's definitely something I could look more into.

I think I've been so focused on trying to find that quote UN quote, big girl job or finding, you know, that thing that's going to be a long term career and be a major money maker now.

And I've been trying to think outside of the box, you know, maybe with Christmas time wrapping gifts on the side or, you know, things like that.

But no, those are definitely great options I hadn't considered.

So thank you so much for that type of insight.

Task Rabbit.

Task Rabbit, see if there's any nanny apps that you can hop on, because if you already have a background in babysitting, I mean, there's a lot of folks that need help during the holidays.

And then yeah, even down to Instacart, Uber Eats, whatever.

I think, I think you will actually feel much better by just having something to do that gives you dignity and gives you something to occupy your time.

That's generating something for you guys.

Yeah, no, definitely.

I think that's kind of the beat down.

Feels like I'm not contributing much and I feel like I'm putting a lot of burden on him, which is very different so.

Yeah, OK.

Well, let me know how it goes and maybe I'll hear from you sooner than later.

Have a Merry Christmas, Tarika.

Thank you so much.

Absolutely.

Merry Christmas to you.

Thank you.

Hey, what's up, James?

Thank you so much for calling in, man.

What's your question brother?

Yeah, my, my question, I was in the gym when your prompt came up.

So I'm like, oh, I got to think of something real quick.

So I apologize if I'm out of breath.

Just finished some bench press.

But you've been talking do a lot of commentary on the Knicks when test stuff, and my brothers and I have been reading a book called Stand Firm and Act Like Men by Joby Martin.

Are you familiar with that?

Yeah, I dude, I just connected with Joby Martin, Pastor.

Joby Martin's awesome.

I just connected with him this week.

We're actually supposed to hop on a FaceTime tomorrow.

So yeah, he's great man.

That's awesome.

My, my, my sister and brother-in-law go to that church.

And yeah, we've been reading through the book and there's so many parallels between that book and the content you have.

And I was just curious.

My question is, well, some context.

I work at a university, I'm a campus pastor at a small university in Florida and I do a lot of ministry with the men.

And I I guess what would be your quick like response to, you know, you got the red pill ideology with Nick Fuentes and Erola Tomasi and all these different things they've commented on.

What's the best biblical, quick like biblical man for dummies, step by step process you would give to these young men if I were to theoretically invite you to share with them?

Yeah, that's such a great question.

I think the thing that's important to understand is that though people are different, we're all created in the image of God and we all have immense value and immense capacity to do great things and ushering goodness and beauty and change the world, while at the same time we are all, you know, stained by sin, if you will, right?

And I think what happens with all those things that you just mentioned, right?

Rolo Tomasi, the red pill stuff Nick Foon says is what it all generally comes back to.

And I'm going to just make a very general statement is that it takes the Omus off of yourself as an individual and its spotlights things that are true ish, but they're not really true in the sense of the image that is painted of humanity in scripture.

And so with Rolo Tomasi and I went really deep and I debated Rolo Tomasi, they spotlight modern hypergamous women.

And so now what they've done is they've actually created a new version or unique version of original sin that's exclusive just for women.

Women are hypergamous.

They'll let the alpha lay and then they'll let the, the, the, the beta pay to raise the kid.

And so he, they create a whole ideology.

But when you look at the science, it's just, it's just not there.

It's non existent, right?

And so the same thing with the Nick Foon says and erase realism is you he, they're making black people uniquely sinful.

They're just more violent.

And this is just intrinsic.

They'll use words like intrinsic to them.

And at the end of the day, the thing about the cross is it levels the playing field.

It shows that we're all broken, we're all sinful, yet we all have immense value and immense potential.

And I think if we can get people to understand that, then it does two things.

One, I don't have to otherwise people based on the ways they're different, whether that's women or black people.

And two, it points it back at me as a man, as a leader, as a husband, as a father, to take responsibility and control the things I can control.

Because at the end of the day, it's not women's fault why someone can't find a mate.

It's not black people's fault why you can't find a job.

It's not the Jew's fault why you can't get ahead in your finances and get out of debt.

It's ultimately our responsibility.

And the scriptures teach that.

The Proverbs teach that, right?

And so it's encouraging people to take hyper agency over the things they can't control and not spend so much head space and time worrying about the things they can't control.

In in a nutshell, I actually think that is what growing up is.

And I think that is what manhood is.

Yeah.

No, I love that.

And a follow up question, if I have time is when it comes to I love how I'm taking responsibility and ownership and stewardship.

I love, I love your book and how you talk about that.

It's so parallel to what you've just said.

Now there's such a draw, and I think you've mentioned it for, for these red pill ideology, the red pill ideology for how like manly and macho they are and how some men that I work with in my space are looking for those father figures that demonstrate masculine qualities.

And I'm super pumped that you're meeting with Joby Martin because I think he doesn't dismiss the masculine side to biblical masculinity, but he presses into and we should be proud of the, the, the way God made us and our personality.

So my question for you, I guess to follow up if I have time, is how?

How do we demonstrate masculinity without it becoming over the top and toxic?

Well, I think, I think we got to look at Scripture to define what is masculinity.

I think we can look at Scripture and we say, hey, there's a call for every man to be a priest, which means that if you're a priest, you're sanctified, you're walking with Jesus.

You are someone that is walking in the fullness and a consecration of what God has for you.

I think every single man is called to be a provider.

We see that in First Timothy 5, He who does not provide for the needs of his family, specifically his immediate family, is worse than a non believer and is denied the faith.

And I think every man is a protector.

We are called to protect people not just in a masculine physical way, but in a masculine protector way of, hey, I got to protect my kids from the Internet.

I got to protect my kids from predators.

I got to protect my kids from people that may want something from them, right?

And so I'm, I'm the protector.

I got to protect my wife.

And all of those things I think are interconnected.

I think we could look at scripture and we could see those things laid out in scripture.

And that doesn't mean we don't then create a cartoonish version of those things.

That's what you see a lot of times with the red pill stuff is that it's it's not that Andrew Tate doesn't get anything right or Nick Poon says doesn't get anything right.

It's that they're ultimately distorting reality and they're speaking in hyperbole and really embellishing and it and it and it removes people from reality.

And so I think the reality is we already went over, it is like, hey, man, we all have value, we're all different, but that doesn't change the fact that we all have immense opportunity to get aligned with God's ways.

And so that's how I would say is like, hey, there's actually a scriptural precedent for manhood.

Joby Martin does a great job.

Philip Anthony Mitchell does a great job.

There's a lot of great voices out there that I think are demonstrating what does biblical masculinity look like.

And like I'm honestly excited of the of the of the era that we're entering in.

That's awesome.

And to piggyback those two people you referenced, like I said, I work with college, the college space apart from their local church pastor who are two or three positive male biblical influences that are you think are good at connecting with the college demographic that can point my students to.

Yeah, I think so.

We said, we said Joey Martin, we said Philip Anthony Mitchell, Josh Howerton, another friend of mine, Gavin Ortlin, Wes Huff.

I mean, I could keep going.

There's there's so many Nate Sala from wise disciple Mike Winger.

There's so many great examples of, of, of men that I think and they're all different, right?

Like Gavin's a bit more soft spoken than a Josh Howerton, but I think they're, they, they all exhibit these qualities that we're talking about.

Love it.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

James, thank you, man.

Appreciate you, brother.

So I want to hear from you guys.

What do you guys think about this call in segment?

Should we do it every day?

I honestly love taking your calls.

I feel like it's a great way for me to really keep a pulse on where you guys are at and what solutions we can present to you.

And you guys know I'm a huge Dave Ramsey guy.

I used to listen to hours and hours and hours of Dave Ramsey, which is why I recommend that for our woke right challenge.

Cut out the nonsense, cut out the poison, cut out the your victim and redirect that towards something that's going to build you up.

And so me and my wife, we spent year and a half really just listening to pretty much Dave Ramsey and preaching and it changed everything about our life.

So anyway, let me know what you guys think about that segment and if we should keep doing it.

And hopefully the more you guys see it, the more it encourage you to partner with us on Patreon or partner with us by picking up something for the Christmas sale.

15% off the entire store and you can get your Christmas shopping done.

Pick up a prayer journal, pick up a bundle of prayer journals and this is the prices plus 15% off.

You don't even have to apply a code.

All happening right now.

Why am I telling you guys this?

Again, if you don't notice, we are trying to step it up.

We're trying something different with these daily shows.

I've been having a blast doing him.

It helps me focus more and it also helps me connect with you guys and hopefully you guys see what we're doing, you love it and get behind what we're doing because we're looking to make some more upgrades.

I just got a new microphone.

Let me know if you guys like how it sounds I'm still tweaking it.

I'm also a upgrading the cameras to the Black Magic 6K Studio full frames which will hopefully get us 2 new cameras by the end of the year.

So your support means a lot.

I know it looks like we're just printing money over here.

We're not.

We're a small mom and pop shop operation.

We take care of our employees.

We do the best with health insurance.

And you guys partnering by picking up some merch or partnering on Patreon really does go a long way.

And Speaking of going a long way, you know, so many of the things on the Internet are smoke and mirrors or just flat out appear bigger than they seem.

Which leads us to our next topic, Nick Fuentes.

The sudden rise is built on foreign bots.

OK, who?

Who would have thought?

Who would have thought?

Now, I really thought that in this era that people were more sophisticated than to notice this, but apparently this is what is being reported by New York Times exclusive stories.

Nick Fuentes turns out to matter a lot less than his promoters and detractors have been assuming.

His rapid rise is built on foreign bots, not any American fan base.

The online Extremism tracking National Contagion Research Institution bombshell report show that the Holocaust denying self promoted surged into national visibility was driven by engagement from accounts located outside of the United States and mainly in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Malaysia and Indonesia.

This is the gift from Elon Musk that keeps on giving.

So you guys didn't know Elon Musk revealed where many of the accounts on X are actually located.

And so now that you see where many of the accounts on X are located, you're able to see who is getting traction from foreign accounts.

And this is alleging actual bots that are spamming someone's views, spamming someone's likes, spamming someone's reach.

And then it creates a real persona.

But it isn't real.

Strange places indeed to host hordes of white nationalists.

Bad New York Post is so petty of this.

All are known hotbeds for low cost engagement farms, outfits whose bots fiend online activity by real human people, boosting engagement stats for profit or other ulterior motives.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes.

Bot farm signs are all over funtest stats.

Per the NCRI, he gets higher engagement in the 1st 30 minutes of posting than even accounts with 10X or 100X more followers and and the often form profiles that engage with him will retweet multiple recent posts in a short time.

Behavior highly suggestive of a coordination or automation, right?

This is what it means.

This is the bandwagon fallacy, right?

Because his videos or his views perform.

Therefore, guys like Tucker Carlson take him more seriously and then help expand and legitimize his platform, all of which has been made obscure French figures seem a much more bigger deal than he really is and so seemingly worth a warm welcome by podcasters like Tucker Carlson and less warm sit down with Pierce Morgan when says himself understands the value of pumped up stats, routinely urging his viewers to reach retweet me or retweet this to amp up his profile.

That is Funtez does have real followers and I remember back in 2022 when I first started hearing about him and I asked to debate him.

He does have real followers and it really annoying.

The gropers are really annoying, but not to the degree that that it appears, apparently.

That is, Funtez does have real followers, but a lot fewer than it seemed.

His sudden rise and popularity is phony, though the fakery might pay off enough publicity to gain fresh fans.

To gain fresh fans.

That is the key, the sentence here.

And So what we're seeing happen is the bandwagon fallacy, because something is popular, therefore it's right, or therefore it's true.

And we've seen this happen in music.

I mean social media all the time.

People buy followers.

I thought we were past that.

People buy views, people buy engagement apparently.

And it's all to prop up something that looks real and looks like it's grassroots, but it really isn't.

In politics, this is called astroturfing.

It's meant to look.

Look like it's grassroots, but it really is it.

It's the deceptive practice of creating the illusion of widespread genuine public support.

A grassroots movement for political cause, policy, or candidate, when it's actually orchestrated by powerful hidden interests like corporations or political groups.

Using front organizations, PR forms, fake accounts or bots to manipulate opinion.

Now the sad part is the bots then create more bots because there are people that will see the the the the social proof of him getting 100,000 viewers on Rumble.

Which by the way, we've always known that the Rumble viewers are highly exaggerated because how they count views is different and, and the drop off is different versus like YouTube.

And so those numbers have been exaggerated.

That's been fairly verified.

But that creates the social proof and then more people gravitate towards it.

And then you create something that looks bigger than it really is and then more people gravitate towards it.

I really thought that people were past this.

I really thought that we were past being manipulated in this way, right?

Named after Astroturf artificial grass to contrast with real grassroots, it aims to sway public perception and policy by mimicking organic citizens and engagement, often through fake social media posts, coordinated campaigns, or front groups that seemed independent but are funded by special interest.

The sad part is not that people are are are doing this or that there's potential foreign agencies involved, which by the way, when people are talking about foreign actors and they're talking about Israel, go look up how much Qatar spends substantially more than Israel, by the way, on our universities in in these sorts of operations.

How many of these folks are coming from cheap countries in Asia?

I don't think Nick is doing this himself, but he's absolutely benefiting from it.

And the sad part is many of you are falling for it.

And then what happens when you're falling for it?

You then end up buying into the victim mentality that he, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens are peddling to you, which is awful for you.

It leads to apathy.

It leads to brain rot.

It leads to nihilism.

And then before you know it, you're down that this despair spiral.

And because you couldn't decipher that maybe maybe some of this is manufactured, maybe some of this is fake.

And you know what's not manufactured is me going on my very first tour this spring and we will be in Houston, TX March 21st.

Tickets are on sale, very reasonably priced, $34 for general admission.

You could also get tickets for Dallas, TX, again, $34 general admission.

There is AQ and a before event that you can come out to that's a little bit more pricey.

It's like 46 bucks.

These are all available.

You can get all the links to the tickets over at blessgod.co.

We're coming to Chicago April 10th.

We are coming to the Pittsburgh area April 12th, Arlington, VA which is ADC area, April 25th, New York City, Los Angeles, Clearwater, FL, which is a Tampa area, and Atlanta, GA Get your tickets now.

I will be doing a keynote walking you guys through the concepts of godly ambition, how to take agency, how to take responsibility, how to make the most of your time, talent and treasure.

I'll be working in some music, some special guest, some spoken word.

It's going to be an amazing time together.

So go to blessedguy.co, get your tickets now.

I can't wait to meet some of you guys in person.

So we have plenty of tickets for the Godly Ambition tour.

You should go see me.

I can't wait to see some of you guys in person.

But unlike the Godly Ambition tour, Forrest Frank just announced his tour, the Jesus Generation Tour, and tickets are going crazy.

And this is not a problem of Forrest Frank, I promise you, but it's him, Tori Kelly, Corey Osbury, the Figs.

And it, it looks stellar.

They're doing arenas again.

It's going to be awesome.

And what happened is as the tour got announced, bots swooped up to get the tickets, immediately selling out the shows, creating long queues.

And then the way Ticketmaster works and they have to issue an apology for this is they will allow people to resell tickets right inside of the ecosystem.

The money, none of the money goes to the artist.

So it looks like Forrest is doing this mad big cash grab when really this is people using the Ticketmaster system and scalping tickets for high profile artists.

So you see comments like this.

What happened to the $39.00 ticket prices for PHX?

It's 2 to $500 a ticket and you see multiple comments like this.

I'm so confused on the pricing.

The cheapest for the pre sale is $97.00 to $113.00 for the nosebleeds.

Am I doing something wrong that I don't see?

This is so sad.

And so again, force Frank, who's a sweet guy, he's announcing this tour.

He's bringing everybody on board with him.

He's bringing the Figs, Tori Kelly, like this is an amazing tour.

Corey Osberry.

I didn't even know Corey.

I think this is his first tour in a while.

And now this looks like, oh man, there is another Forest Frank controversy, which I think opens up a bigger conversation around Christians in the marketplace and media and partnering with companies like Ticketmaster and Live Nation and touring all these sorts of things.

And I thought it'd be fun to bring in a good friend of mine.

I was recently on his podcast, the I Love Birds podcast, Zach Rippy, who is here live in the studio with me, man.

And so you have a background in terms of some of this stuff, seeing this you, the way we actually connected was you did a video kind of kind of going at Forest a little bit.

And then as more was discovered, you've discovered that, oh man, he's actually a pretty dope dude.

But what do you make of this sort of stuff when we see a Christians operating at an excellent level and then kind of this sort of backlash when partnering with a Ticketmaster or a Live Nation?

Yeah, Well, my son loves Forest Frank.

I love Forest Frank.

And I had a guest on my show that we originally got connected with where we were just kind of talking about the idea of everything that was going down at that time with him and Corey Asbury.

And so I, I was open to the conversation of like, yo, is this, is this real?

Is this not real?

And just seeing what was up with it because I mean, we, we talked about it before, like Forrest Frank is genius at storytelling and marketing and getting his music out there and, and creating conversations.

So this is, I feel like a unique opportunity for him to maybe use the power and influence that he has and the following that he has.

And also all these different partnerships and companies, and especially in California, all these Silicon Valley tech companies, he could potentially partner up with somebody to make a Christian version of what a platform could be, like Ticketmaster in a way that is able to weed out some of those things and have a very much so dialed in platform that people can buy tickets at a fair price.

Yeah.

Yeah, and so, and this is the first time this has happened, by the way, Ticketmaster had to issue an apology to Olivia Dean.

This is just a few weeks ago.

Same exact thing.

OK, so Olivia Dean's tour prices, Typo, singer slams.

Frustrating issue, the Ticketmaster setting the record straight on the prices for Olivia Dean's upcoming tour.

Responding to a user who shared screenshots of a lengthy queue for tickets to see Dean on the site, as well as a hefty price tag just over $750.

The alleged was a typo.

Raise your hand if you're not seeing Olivia Dean next year.

So this is like the fans didn't get mad at the people, right?

And if you're a Christian, this isn't this is not the greatest.

Look, Ticketmaster charges insane prices and let's buy lots, buy out the whole venue.

We're going to get into solutions for this in a second.

And it says the post showed that there was 24,000 people in the queue.

And same thing with Forest is like 70,000 people in the queue facing a price of $750.

The price was a typo but has since been updated to the correct $53.

All in price.

Appreciate you flagging this Ticketmaster.

So Ticketmaster ends up issuing an apology to her, they said.

I'm sorry that there seems to be an issue with tickets reselling and pricing.

My team currently looking into it is extremely fresh.

Trading is the last thing I want is for anyone to be scammed or overcharged for our show.

She also tagged Ticketmaster and Live Nation providing a disgusting service.

Ain't that the truth.

The prices at which you're allowing tickets to be resold is vile and completely against our wishes.

Live music should be affordable and accessible and we need to find a better way.

This is not the first time Ticketmaster has landed in the hot water.

Bruce Springsteen Pearl Jam Foo Fighters Rage Against the Machine 2022 following a controversy daily reminded Ticketmasters and Monopoly it's a manager with Live Nation should never have been approved.

And so yeah, they they issued an apology for this.

So here's the here's the issue how this works is an artist puts their tickets up for sale through Ticketmaster Live Nation.

Live Nation kind of owns the entire market.

The same people that were using bots to buy sneakers are now using those same bots to buy tickets, resell them within the Ticketmaster ecosystem at a outlandish price.

And with that, and the sad part about all this is the artist doesn't even get any of that money.

So Forrest Frank is getting his $50 a ticket while they're reselling them for 305 hundred $700.00.

Like that's how disgusting this entire thing is.

And it's really sad.

Now you mentioned some possible solutions.

I went down this rabbit hole.

I went down this rabbit hole and I said, hey man, there's a lot of churches that sit empty sometimes on the weekends.

There's a lot of big churches, a lot of big.

And I actually met with pastors who have some of the biggest venues across the nation.

And this is what I discovered is that one, many of these venues are not big enough to house a force rank.

So a church, think about the a bigger size church.

There's only a handful of churches that can meet in a stadium and most of these churches 5000 cap room at the most, right?

And people like, oh, it's a giga church was like, yes, it's a big church, but they do four or five services, right?

So 1 you can't even house forest because he's doing 10 to 12,000 people.

Right.

The demand that would cause would be kind of more chaos than good for the church.

Yes.

On top of which, they don't necessarily have the infrastructure to turn the church over for a Sunday morning if there's 10,000 people or 5000 people or say Forrest does 5002 times on Saturday night or Friday night.

They don't even have the infrastructure for the security, the concessions, the ushers, all of the turnover that accident happened to then get it ready for Sunday morning.

They just don't have the infrastructure to pull that off on top of which it doesn't financially make sense for the artist or for the church, right, because if the venues are built to do this, this is what they do.

They do concerts all the time, right, where churches aren't equipped to have these massive concerts with these massive turnouts.

So I had a whole conversation with very influential pastors and they were like, man, we've tried and it just never works out well for us or the artist, you know, and it and so it sucks.

Now in terms of the Silicon Valley and a ticket thing, I've heard of artist, high profile Christian artist that will withhold certain, certain numbers of tickets to not be able to put it all out and then have them gobbled up.

But from one standpoint, like it's a good problem to have, but from another standpoint, like it's also just it's, it's, it sucks for the consumer, it sucks for the people.

Yeah.

I mean, when you're so high in demand like that, it's like that's just kind of inevitable in this market that we're in right now.

And so the solution would have to be something where you do like a merch bundle or something on your own website and you would have to kind of facilitate all that.

You'd have to bring in probably a team to handle all that.

So at the point where he's at right now, I mean, he's so young and in the, in the come up essentially that it's like, man, he's, he's just doing his best, you know, And but it seems like there's one thing after another of people trying to kind of take the man down.

Yeah, for something.

And it's like I, I, I've taken my hats off to him with the integrity that he has through it all to still say faithful and truthful to what God's called him to do.

And I just hope it doesn't like, you know, it doesn't sour his name with his own fans at this point.

You know, yeah, or, or, or honestly, it he does, he gets tired of all these controversies.

Every single thing.

There's a there's a new thing every week.

Someone's mad about something and it's.

Like that's cuz he's doing something for the Kingdom and he's moving the Kingdom further.

And that means like, you know, we look at Jesus's life and it was all about that as far as like doing the right thing yet getting persecution from, from religious leaders, the world.

It's like it's gonna come.

They hated me first.

I hate you as well.

Especially when you're walking out in a way that is the spirit of excellence.

Yeah.

On your faith journey.

What do you make of the broader conversation around Christians and marketing in general?

Right.

Cuz that that's something that a lot of people are like, Hey, force is a great marketer.

And I use that as like a, as a, as like a put down, like, oh, he's a great marketer.

He's a great buying.

It's like, no, no, no, Christians should be great at telling the greatest story ever told.

That's right.

And packaging it for social media in a way where people can receive it and go deeper with it.

Yeah, I mean, there's so much, there's so much evil online right now as it is, right?

And so if you're going to operate and do things for God, I always think you have to have the spirit of excellence on it because it's for God, right?

So like in my podcast to do with I like birds, like if we see something on the table, we'll wipe it down.

It's like, because this is like for the Lord, right?

We do a live show, we'll vacuum the stage just because it's like this is for the Lord.

So it's like, you have to have that when it comes to what you're projecting to the world, right?

Supposed to be salt and light.

So we have to be tasteful to what people are seeing to be able to attract the people that want to be able to.

Because people don't want to go into Christianity thinking it's like like too overly religious or like lame.

You know, I think Christianity can be cool in a way that is tasteful for people to find out more about Jesus through somebody's life, through somebody's experiences, through somebody's music, through somebody's content.

So I think Forrest Frank is doing all the right things and he's.

They hate us because they ain't US, essentially.

You know, they see us in that position.

Yeah.

Where it's like, you know, he's doing it well.

And people don't think that you can do it well.

When you follow God, they think they think you have to follow the world's way.

Yep.

But it's like, no, we got to counter evil with the goodness of God.

Yeah, that's good.

And just, and just for the record, you said cool.

Here's the thing that people say, oh, you got, you want to be cool.

This is the thing about the cool because the Pharisees are going to come for us in the comment section.

No one is cool by trying to be cool.

That's right.

Come on that.

Is not how you like to think of like cool is just you just yourself.

You're just yourself.

You're maneuvering, you're doing it excellent.

You're doing it.

Like I think Mike Winger is extremely cool, but Mike Winger doesn't check any of the boxes that a cool force Frank does, right?

Like I think Gavin Ortland is extremely cool and so cool is is is no one's trying to be cool 'cause that's not cool.

Trying too hard is not cool.

So anyway, I just wanted to add that caveat.

Thanks for hopping in, brother.

I remember to keep living a life that bless God and I'll see you on the next one.

Peace.
