And that's why I think the writers in the scriptures always talked about you can know a tree by its fruit, right?

So you just look at the fruit and you're like, yeah, that tree isn't bearing good fruit because the tree is actually rotten.

And so I tell people all the time, keep looking at the fruit that it produces.

That will tell you all you need to know.

I love it.

I love it.

Well, I mean, I think I think all of this is so critical.

Like this is a part of it.

And that's why thank you for having me out last night at your show.

God, what a gift it was to be there.

But this is this is a passion of mine because, well, many reasons.

But one is I think this movement right now, particularly MAGA.

they're really clever at their words in their language.

And so it's pivotal for us to be as clear as we can, because what I understand about like this movement that's happening with MAGA and then what transpired 2000 years ago with the movement of Jesus, this isn't the first time.

I mean, this stuff goes back all the way to, we said last night, like 312 Constantine was the first time empire and religion got in bed with each other.

And then what you have now, you know, a couple thousand years later is nothing's really changed.

Yet again, you have the American empire getting in bed with religion and that's all intentional.

That's what authoritarians do is because if they can leverage the name of Jesus, they can attempt to justify their actions, their wars.

They're trying to baptize their bigotry.

But the thing is, this isn't new.
