They don't want me to be the candidate.

They're actively working against my candidacy.

I don't need permission to start this church.

God wants me to start this church.

He was a bottom up, a grassroots president.

And I think that's the sort of the great reversal, right?

Like all the power in society now comes from building a following on social media.

And if you build a big enough following, you can literally change the world, whether it be religion or politics or culture.

I think all of us are evidence of that in some way, shape or form.

And I don't think we fully grasp that.

what that means in terms of like how we operate in society and who we think power comes from.

I mean, listen, we destroyed all the gatekeepers.

And is that necessarily a good thing?

I would argue that a little bit of gatekeeping here and there is actually what kept us safe.

Like ivermectin is not the solution to all your problems, guys.

But when you destroy all gatekeepers, it does seem like that.

So I think that's the world we live in right now.

It's almost like, not to go too far into philosophical stuff, but it's like we are living in a relativist world where no one has the truth.
