Hello, my fellow Goyom siblings in Christ. [laughter] I love that. I love that. No, I I appreciate you. That's hilarious. And uh we're going to get in to a little bit of that today because that's what I'm being called on X. Got into it today with some Zionist. I'm going to take you guys through that. Excited for it. Let's get rolling. All right. So, a victim of the Turning Point USA purge has spoken out about why she was fired from the organization. And as you're about to see, it's just a really bad look for Erica Kirk and Turning Point USA overall. This woman worked directly for Andrew Kovette. She was given an official reason about why she was fired by Turning Point USA, which I think you'll find funny. And she then shares what she believes to be the real reason because of the consistent theme of the firings around the organization, which is the tell of the direction of the Erica Kirk le Turning Point USA 2.0. You better shut up, get in line, and you better like me or else. Very not so much Charlie Kirk free speech as you're about to see. Also, Tucker Carlson published on social media an hour and a half long episode titled, "How does the US funded Israel government treat Christians in the Holy Land? We asked some. Listen carefully to their accounts. This will shock you. [laughter] That's the whole title." >> [snorts] >> And this triggered unsurprisingly a Zionist assault against him online for of course being the evil anti-semite that he is pointing out that things are just not that great to put it likely for Christians in the Holy Land. This is just a fact. The response of course is for Zionists to tell us how good it is for Christians over there in Israel. Congressman Randy Fine issued a response to Tucker that I then reposted with facts about the Christian population in the Holy Land. And this triggered Joel Barry from the Babylon bee and a swarm. See what I did there? Bees. [laughter] Anyway, to come at me and as you're about to see, they really don't like facts and logic and truth. It got really ugly. that got anti-Christianism ugly, hurling slurs at me, truly disgusting and alarming because of the double standard world that we are operating in when it comes to religious freedom. First though, and we need to talk about this, the messaging from the Trump administration about these Epstein files is just getting worse and worse. I've mentioned the deputy a the deputy AG Todd Blanch multiple times this week and just when you thought he couldn't get any worse, he goes and does something like this. A reporter presses him on whether we are going to get answers about the men involved with Jeffrey Epstein. And listen to his answer. We'll start there. And welcome back to the Zack Costello Show. Um, you said this is the end of the Epstein uh of your review of the Epstein files. So, just to clarify, are is the public going to learn the identities of the men who abused the girls with the information that you're releasing? And if not, why not? And then I have a quick followup. >> I mean, you just baked in an assumption into your question that I have never said and I don't know to be true. Is the public going to learn about men that abuse these girls? Like what does that mean? I mean, I understand what that means. >> Well, I mean there the men who abused the young women through Epstein's um through >> we we said in July um and it remains as true today as it was in July. Um if we had information, we meaning the Department of Justice about men who abused women, we would um we would we would prosecute them. Right? We talked about the work that we're doing. That's why I said that there I said this earlier. There's this built-in assumption that somehow there's this hidden trunch of information of men that we know about that we're covering up or that we're not we're choosing not to prosecute. That is not the case. I don't know whether there are men out there that abuse these women. Um if if we learn about information and evidence that that allows us to prosecute them, you better believe we will. But but I don't think that that that the public or you all are going to uncover um uh men within the Epstein files that abuse women unfortunately. >> Is the public going to learn about men who abuse these girls? What does that mean? I don't understand what that means. He says the reporter is taken aback by this because it's just ridiculous. It means what? It means I ate an apple. What does that means? It means I ate an apple. [laughter] Like, are we going to learn about the men who abuse these girls? What does that mean? It means, are we going to learn about the men who abuse these girls? And yes, there is a hidden trunch of information that we believe you are covering up and men that you are covering for. And do you know why we believe this? You know why? Because you told us [laughter] this is what you told us, Todd. Remember what your boss said back in February of last year? This was right before the MAGA influencer binder release. Let me remind you >> are wondering because you said last week that you have the Epstein files on your desk. Is >> when can we see them and what's taking so long to release them? >> I do, Jesse. There are well over this. This will make you sick. 200 victims. 200. So we have well over over 250 actually. So we have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information. But other than that, I think tomorrow, you know, the personal information of victims. Other than that, I think tomorrow, Jesse, breaking news right now, you're going to see some Epstein information being released by my office. >> What kind are we going to see? Who was on the flights? Are we going to see any evidence from what he recorded? because he had all of his homes wired with recording devices. >> Yeah. What you're going to see hopefully tomorrow is um a a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot a lot of information, but um it's it's pretty sick what that man did. >> Okay. Well, >> along with his codefendant. >> Absolutely. And he had help. That's for sure. >> He sure did. >> 250 plus victims and what they did was terrible. They did terrible things, but were making all of this up. Forgive us all for thinking that there was criminal, pedophile, or traitorous activity in the Epstein files. Our bad. You know what? You guys are right. We're dumb. They were just really eating pizza, hot dogs, and looking at sharks in aquariums. Those 250 plus victims, you guys, they were just shrimp. These were pizza parties, you silly American people. Goyum you just don't understand. Which is a great segue into this Zionist assault that is taking place against Tucker Carlson and I guess me today on X. Congressman Randy Fine issued a response to Tucker Carlson using a video of himself explaining how dangerous Islam is to Christians. and he cited the severe decrease in the Christian population in Bethlehem from 85% to 10%. He then makes the claim in this clip that the Christian population in Israel has increased dramatically. Listen and then I'm going to explain the facts and the truth about this. The greatest threat to religious freedom in the world is the rise of mainstream Islam. And I call it mainstream Islam because I think we're calling it radical Islam as an attempt to minimize the threat that it exists. The radical Muslims are the ones who don't want to kill us. They do exist. Not all Muslims are bad, but I think that we use that to minimize the threat. And I believe it's the largest threat because is religiously motivated. When China or Russia or other countries persecute religions, they're doing it in the pursuit of political power. When they no longer believe it is good for them to get political power, they will stop. Whereas the rise of mainstream Islam is based on religion. It is a belief that is deeply held and is why we have to fight it. So I would and by the way we see this threat in the United States. Um the leading civil rights organization for mainstream Muslims in the United States, the Council on American Islamic Relations argued in the state of Texas that three Muslim children had the right to attempt to destroy a Christian church because they were practicing their First Amendment rights. That is how they tried to get them out of being criminally prosecuted. Um, so I find it very troubling when there ends up being a focus on Israel, a country that I would note where the Christian population has risen dramatically since the creation of the state of Israel. Whereas if you look at a place like Bethlehem where Jesus was born, the Christian population has dropped from 85% to under 10%. It is not because Christians did not want to live near the birthplace of Jesus. It was because they no longer felt safe to be there. All right. So, first of all, just a freedom of religion from a from a freedom of religion standpoint. Imagine if someone spoke about Judaism the way that he is speaking about mainstream Islam. Look, I don't agree with Islam at all, but just from a matter of principle and of of just pointing out the double standard like this is a US congressman speaking from the pulpit about a first amendment protected religious group. Look, when it comes to Tucker, I think he's a little too cuddled up cuddled up with with Islam. I don't think per the numbers and stats that Islam produces a fertile ground for Christian rights and living. The truth is though, neither does Judaism. And this is where things popped off on X. Take a look at this. I shared this post here from Randy Fine and I said the Christian population in Israel went from 10% prior to 1948 to 1.9% currently. Despite Zionists continuing to tell us the Christian population is growing rapidly. It's not. The truth is the Holy Land is not friendly to Christians whether it's Islam or Judaism. Okay. This warranted a response from Joel Barry at the Babylon. He said the number of Christians in the Holy Land since 1948 has more than tripled. The reason for the decrease in percentage has been the millions of Jews who have moved back to Israel, increasing the overall population. And that's consistent with how Randy Fine finished that clip saying that the Christian population in Israel has increased dramatically. The problem is they're not going all the way back into history. They're picking and choosing where they want to start this to make their argument to make Israel seem friendlier to Christians than it really actually is. I facitiously responded to Joel and said, "Wipe it out to zero, then add three." And it tripled. Nice. [laughter] Way to get the numbers, man. But anyway, let's continue. Okay, next comment. There were 30,000 Christians in Israel. So, now we're going to start to get into the numbers here, which I think is important. 30,000 Christians Christians in Israel in 1948 and there are 185,000 Christians in Israel today. I I asked how many were in the land of Israel in 1947. That number is 143,000. And then I said using that number, the growth doesn't look that good anymore, does it? Okay, let's get down here to the actual numbers. The Christian population in the land of Israel 1947 was 143,000. In 1948, it dropped dramatically to 34,000. And this was because of the founding of the state of Israel and the Jewish and Muslim war that took place. Christians were expelled or just left. And then in 2025, it has increased back up to 188,000 188,000 Christians. When I'm looking at these numbers, I'm looking at these real Christians were living in their homes in this area in the Holy Land in 1947. They were expelled, kicked out because of both Jews and Islam. And it has since recovered to 188,000 which is a very low percentage 1.9% at most Christians make up the total population in this area. So no, that has the the Christian population in the Holy Land in Israel has not tripled. And then let's get to this. The worldwide population has increased by 239% since 1947. And the Christian population in Israel has increased only by 31%. Using the 188,000 now back to the 143,000 about in 1947. Okay, that's not good. That's those are not good numbers. And I'll explain why to you here in a second. But first, look at this because this is where it gets nasty. The low IQ doesn't understand how percentages work despite multiple people in the comments explaining. He appeals to Grock. Please explain it using language that the low IQ would understand. I respond with, wow, a blatant anti-Christian slur. The low IQ who's me, is looking at this. The Christian population of the Holy Land in 1947 was 143,000 to over 150,000. It's now 180 to 188. The worldwide population has increased 239% over that same time frame. Okay. The truth is a 31% increase. This is way below the total increase in the global population of that 239%. As I just explained, imagine it this way. Imagine your income increases 31% while inflation increases 239%. And then people turn around and explain to you how good it is that your income increased by 31%. [laughter] It's like that's not a good thing, guys. My argument holds. Despite the insult and the slurs, Christians have not fared well in this region, whether it be under Islam or Judaism. Neither produce a fertile environment for Christian rights or living. We talked about this yesterday. We Christians believe that because we have Christ, that we have the spirit of Christ in us, the spirit of of Christ helps us discern what is true and good. And we believe, this is Christian truth, that those who do not have the spirit of Christ in them will inevitably produce bad fruit. Remain in me as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit. Without me, you can do nothing. Direct quote from Jesus Christ. We believe Christianity is the best way to live. We believe that all of these other ideologies, whether it be atheism, secularism, Islam, Judaism, etc., do not produce the fruit. They do not produce the stable, peaceful, good individuals and nations that Christianity does. All right. Now, before we get to Turning Point USA and the whistleblower and Erica Kirk, we're going to take a brief break for today's sponsor. To be aware that the ground is moving out from under your feet. On January 28th, 2026, the US dollar quietly crossed a line that most Americans won't recognize until it's far too late. After a violent global sell-off, our currency has cratered to its weakest level in four years. This isn't just another bad market day. This is a financial ambush. We are witnessing a global scorched earth takedown of the American economy. The nightmare is here. The system is being hollowed out by global saboturs so the radicals can seize power, leaving patriots like you to pay the price with your life's work. At the same time, the green light has been given to sacrifice your purchasing power as the dollar's decline is brushed off as good for business. The markets have heard the message clearly. Your hard-earned savings are being sacrificed to a failing paper system. With national debt now screaming past $ 38 trillion and endless spending, faith in the dollar is eroding, creating a blueprint for national surrender and total digital dependence. History shows that when a reserve currency enters this phase, the people holding paper are the last ones protected. While the media debates narratives, central banks are doing something very different. They are hoarding physical gold at record levels. Gold is the only asset that remains independent of banks, governments, and the off switch of the administrative state. I've partnered with Genesis Gold to get you a critical new briefing titled The Dollar Takeown Survival Guide: Defending Your Family and Wealth from the Globalist Siege. This intelligence report is essential for anyone who values truth, faith, and American sovereignty. It reveals why moving a portion of your savings into physical gold is the only safe ground left before the next market freeze. Don't wait for the banked doors to lock.

That's costello.com for your immediate dying dollar defense. Okay, back into it. Former Turningpoint USA employee Aubrey Lish, I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. [snorts] She published a statement today regarding her termination from the organization. Her statement is about 12 minutes long. Candace reposted it on X if you want to go and watch the whole thing, but she introduced herself and explained that she worked directly under Andrew Kovette. It was a high pressure job working for someone so close to Charlie Kirk. She then explains here how she was brought in and the official story that Turning Point USA gave her about why they were letting her go, she gives here. The actual reason is pretty funny. to go ahead and fast forward to my termination >> which took place about 3 weeks ago and I was brought into an office to have a discussion just generally about my employment. It was myself, Andrew Kulvette and Marina Munz who is the CMO of Turning Point USA who I used to work for when I was just full-time with Turning Point prior to joining the ATK company. They pulled me into a room and they sat me down and told me that there were two instances they wanted to talk to me about. Um, one of which is pretty irrelevant to this timeline. So, I'm just going to talk about the one which was an Uber ride that took place allegedly in the months of either October or November of 2025. And what was told to me was that a Turning Point executive got into an Uber one day and they randomly just kind of started talking about Turning Point. And the executive asked the driver, "What so what do you think about Turning Point?" And the driver proceeded to tell the Turning Point executive, "Well, it's just really sad. I've heard the organization's really going going downhill. There's not really a direction and nobody likes Erica." And the Turning Point executive proceeded to ask this Uber driver, "Well, who told you that?" And the Uber driver told the Turning Point executive that his daughter was good friends with a girl that worked at Turning Point way back when in high school. They had spoken about Turning Point since Charlie's assassination. And that, you know, this was told to him by his daughter. And the Turning Point executive, of course, asked, well, who was the employees name? And the Uber driver allegedly said, Aubrey. Aubrey who? Aubrey Lech. And the story was presented to me as one of the reasons for my termination. And I was just a little taken aback because number one, I'm not really friends with anybody from high school. And a lot of that has to do with my political beliefs. I've been a conservative since I was pretty much a junior in high school. And so I don't know who I would have told this story to. And it also doesn't even align with my true thoughts of Erica at the time. I've actually known Erica since 2013. We were doing pageantss uh around the same time as one another. She was in the MissUSA organization and I was in the Miss United States organization and we happened to cross paths at an event. So, I've known Erica for quite some time and my thoughts of her and nobody liking her do not align whatsoever with that timeline of October or November. So, that was one of Turning Point's reasons for letting me go. So unlike my peers, I actually was given reason. However, >> all right, so pause that there real quick before we get into act the actual real reason that she gets into, which is juicier. But I find it funny, not that she got fired, but because a Turning Point executive is interrogating an Uber driver [laughter] over like gossip within their organization. Like she lost her job because she didn't like Erica Kirk. It's yes men or yes women only. [laughter] Sounds like a tyrannical monarchy under the queen of Turning Point USA 2.0. Just the way Charlie liked it. But this is where things actually get good. Because what is consistent with the overall purge reveals the truth about why these people are actually being rooted out here. Aubrey shares what she believes is the real reason. Listen. >> Protect myself. I am going to preface with Turning Point has not insinuated this. They never told me anything like this. However, I just have a gut feeling that I was terminated from Turning Point because I am questioning the narrative of what happened to my role model and CEO Charlie Kirk on the day of his assassination. What is being told to us in the mainstream media just really doesn't add up to me and I'm really hopeful that one day it will. But as it stands right now, it just doesn't. And so I've been here in the background talking with people, expressing how I truly feel because as an American citizen, I have the right to my freedom of speech and my freedom of thought. And I have a lot of concerns and a lot of questions about what took place that day and the events leading up to that day. It is from my own experience that you can't question the narrative and work at Turning Point. That is how I feel. That is how other people I've talked to feel. It goes against everything that Charlie ever stood for. Charlie was someone who did question things, who did challenge the narrative. And I know that if anything, anything at all were to have happened to myself or another employee or any other peer within the Turning Point family that Charlie would be doing the same thing if we were brutally assassinated in the way that he was. He would have never lived it down. And that is what I'm standing by as well. I am not going to just idally sit by and hope that the truth comes to light. I'm going to take action. I'm going to ask questions. I'm going to talk to other people. and I refuse to apologize for having my own freedom of thought. >> Yeah. So, there's no question that if this wasn't Charlie Kirk and if it happened to someone else, like think of Tucker Carlson for example, Charlie himself would be going max to find the truth about what happened. Erica damn well knew the pressure that Charlie was under Zionist owners. He told everyone about it. And are we supposed to believe that he didn't tell his wife? He told Megan Kelly. He told Josh Hammer, Dan Flood, Andrew Kovette, but not his wife. Who was the heir apparent if anything were to ever happen to him according to the journals? Think about that. If Charlie wanted Erica to take everything over and he was so concerned about his life and the pressure that he was getting, he would have been opening up and providing insight to Erica. There's no question about it. You would think that the Turning Point USA approach would be to challenge the authorities, turn over every stone, find the truth. But no, the opposite has occurred. Free speech within the organization. And how ironic is that given its founder was literally killed for it has been silenced. Charlie spent the last six months of his life trying to protect the integrity of the organization. He was fighting tooth and nail to pry it from the hands of Zionist donors and look into where all of the money was coming from and where it was going. Now he's gone. No doge effort. pastors coming in in droves to fight misinformation about Israel amongst the young in America and anyone questioning the mainstream narrative about what happened to Charlie Kirk to ensure that we find the truth. Done. Done at Turning Point USA. All right, let's get into the scripture passage for today. I think this is a really good habit for all of us to get into. This keeps us rooted in truth and ensures that we remain aligned and in the place of discernment when it comes to all of this stuff. All right, you guys know that I'm reading Paul's letter to the Corinthians right now. This is the verse that stuck out to me today. Really good. Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy. And you are that temple. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit. You are God's temple. And God's spirit dwells in you. If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy and you are that temple. We believe as Christians that the spirit of God dwells within us. We are living tabernacles. We are living temples. When you think about it this way and you think about how that relates to our God-given purpose and mission in this life, we're so responsible. Like every single one of us has such an important purpose and duty in this life for God, for the truth, for Christ, for the church. All of our purposes, like our combined purpose, each and every one of us contributes to this in small and individual ways. Like we're all different parts of the body. Like some might be the mouth, some might be the eyes, some might be the fingers. We all have a unique responsibility to live and fight for the church and for the truth. And our bodies and our minds are so critically important. Like if the spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [laughter] then what are you doing with your life? I think about this when like I I I talk about or I think about this when I'm, you know, not living healthfully or not taking care of my body when it comes to like sleep and exercise or I'm pushing myself too hard or um, you know, if I if I drink too much alcohol or just they or just crush my body with sugar and junk food. Like that's not virtuous. that's not taking care of this gift that God gave us. Okay. All right. Let's get to the some of the comments here. Let's get to the chat hangout. Um Marina Seltzer, uh thank you for the support. Thank you for the donation. Go Max, Zach. Absolutely. That is what we are doing. We are going max as Charlie instructed us to do. Truly. Truly. And I there's there are going to be our opponents that say Charlie's legacy is in the current Turning Point USA. And that's fine. I don't agree. But our opponents are going to say that. Um there is a large segment of us that really do believe that the current Turning Point USA under Erica Kirk is not going in the direction that Charlie envisioned it. I mean, as we just heard from that whistleblower, obviously there's a divide amongst the people at Turning Point USA, there's a divide a divide amongst the public as well. It is what it is, right? [snorts] Alexandra, I can't wait. You said this before the show started and it caught my attention. Mog king of the universe. Oh, you guys, you probably don't know what this means, but um I appreciate you, Alexander. I think that that's actually funny. That made me laugh. That's why I wanted to bring it up here. Um I don't know if you guys know who Clav Clavicular Claver, I don't know how to pronounce his name, Clav for short. He's he's a looks maxing guy. Like I don't know if you guys are familiar with this whole looks maxing kind of uh trend that's going on right now, but basically it's like forming your face and forming your appearance to maximize your looks. Um Clav is one of those is he's kind of the main he's kind of the front man for this movement right now. And there was a video that he did talking about uh the ratio of your face to determine if you're good-looking or not. And it's basically you take the ratio from your forehead to your chin and then your your cheekbones across to get like a ratio of your your height to width ratio of your face and it should be 1.35. If you're if you have a 1.35, it means you're attractive. So I [snorts] did like a little short of like I stitched it in on TikTok and then uh shared it and then literally it's me taking a tape measure, listening to him and then taking a tape measure to my face. I got 1.41. 4-1. It's not bad. It's not bad. You know, my face is a little long. It's a little long. Um, so that that kind of dings me a little bit, but you know, I'm I'm happy with that. You know, I'm happy with a 1.41. Mog king of the universe. Let's go. It's funny. I shared this one at the outset. Hello, my fellow Goyom siblings in Christ. As you can see, we defend Christianity. We are the dumb goyam siblings in Christ. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Thank you for the support. Zeta 1950 super sticker. Um, thank you. I appreciate the support. Uh, new member shout out here. Uh, thank you for becoming a channel member. That is a way you can support the channel. There's a little subscription that I have. What I what I try to make sure I do with my members are any comments that you leave on any video um or if you leave a comment here in the live chat um I see it and it pops up and I I always try to get to it. I always try to get to my channel members. That's kind of the promise of being a channel member. Um if I haven't gotten to one of your comments and you're a channel member, just call me out. Like it it sometimes it's hard to get to to to all of them. But in any case, um, they catch my attention and I do try to get back to all of them. So, thank you for for joining as a channel member. I think it's like three bucks a month or something like that. I don't know. I don't have it as I don't have it set very high. Um, all right. Next one. Andy, thank you for the donation. Found you on Piers Morgan on your Piers Morgan appearance. Hopefully, he has you back. Let me know when you're accepting resumes for your new organization. Uh, cool. Send me an email at zackzaccastello.com. Um that you can send me send me a resume. Um I've already had a bunch of people do it. We're collecting them and then I'll keep you updated as far as that goes. Um found you on your Piers Morgan appearance. Hopefully has you back. Um yeah, it'd be great to go back on Piers. Funny funny story about that. He actually they actually did invite me back on. Um but I got booted. I got booted. And I think what they do is I think they end up just like kind of sending out like a good number of of uh emails to see who can do it. They wanted me to come back on to talk about his uh interview with Nick Fuentes. Um so they wanted me to comment on on that. They wanted to bring me back on for that. And I said yes and we were all we're all set up in a line ready to go and then like the morning of they said to me we don't need you anymore. [laughter] And then I saw the panel. I think they had like Andrew Wilson, Glenn Greenwald. I think they just got some bigger names. You know, I've got, you know, 270 something on YouTube, but not a ton elsewhere. So, there are guys that are definitely bigger than me. Let's go get the subscriptions up, share it, do everything we need to do to build this up and build this community. You know that I'm asking you guys to help me with that. So, um, but no, I appreciate you. Yeah, I really enjoyed being on Peiers that first time. Um, I'd love to be back and I probably will be. Like I said, they invited me back and it just didn't work out. Um, next time. All right, Kel. So, this this uh this comment caught my attention. I'd love to see you investigate Jared Kushner. I believe he could be the future Antichrist and Jewish Messiah. Um, look into his record for the most expensive building purchase in US history and links to BB. The reason this caught my attention is because Mike Benz was on Joe Rogan and he's been talking a lot about this. He's been talking a lot about the Kushers and he's been talking a lot about just the involvement between um the kind of the Trump administration and Israel. I think there is something to look into there. Um I think that the Kushners, especially Jared, who is Ivanka's husband, um definitely has President Trump's ear. I think that when it comes to being an adviser, he is certainly advising him on uh the Israel question and that is going to be a cause for probably some of the um mishaps in political strategy that the Trump administration is taking on this issue. Um so yeah, that's interesting. I I want to go and watch that Mike Benz episode with Joe Rogan. He gets into it. I saw a clip on it today. I need to look more into it. Um, good recommendation though and I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. [sighs] L I M O P. I'm so bad at reading your guys' handles. Limop [laughter] Limeop. It's strange how some influencers have the very have the same very distinct way to speak. I call it Tucker style. You have it. Candace has it. Matt Walsh. Strange. Uh, thank you. Um, I I'm not sure. I don't know why I started this one. I don't know why it caught my attention. You know why? You know why I did? I appreciate you saying this because I know that, you know, when it comes to these lives, like I'm getting better with each one of them, but to be frank and honest with you guys, like the discomfort level, like when I did my first one, like I was super nervous. And then you have you have technical difficulties. You try to figure those out, but like it's hard, man. It's hard. Um, it's hard to go live. It's hard to be like truly authentic on camera and um, I'm definitely improving. But if you go back and and the reason that I think this is funny and I was talking with my brother about this, if you go back and just look at my earlier videos, like I can't even watch them. They're unwatchable. They're so bad. It's so bad. But you improve over time. And that's just again like that's kind that's a core value that every single one of us can learn. The entry price to be exceptional. Regardless of what field of endeavor you are trying to pursue is that discomfort, is that it's hard? Is that you're going to look like an idiot and you're going to look stupid when you first do it. People are going to hate on you in the comments. They're going to hate on you in the chat. Your friends are going to look at you like, "What the heck is this guy doing?" You know what I mean? Like, these are this is the entry price. every single one of us has to pay it. And I've been through enough now in my life to where I just like I I get it. I get it. And and I I understand that this is what it takes. So it's like if you want to get to a certain level, you have to accept that that's just a reality of life. Jewish emergency distractor. Thank you. Could you discuss the recent sports ball games or perhaps Islamic terror? Uh are you for for recent sports ball games? I don't know if you're talking about like the upcoming Super Bowl that's coming up. I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to there. I know that um Robert Craft, for example, he he's in a lot of he's in the news right now because he did a he's doing a commercial for the Super Bowl about anti-semitism that I guess a lot of people are unhappy with. I don't agree with it for sure. Basically, it's about a a young Jewish kid walking through a school getting bullied and it's uh supposed to be drawing awareness to anti-semitism. Um, I think it it it it's it it doesn't look good. It's it's a bad look. I don't think it's going to be helpful. But if I don't know if you're referring to that or not, when it comes to sports, or I know you're referring to it as sports ball, I'm probably not the guy to come at when it comes to bashing sports. I believe in sports. I'm a sports fan. Um, I don't know if you guys know, I I played college baseball. I played division one college baseball. I went to University of Delaware and then uh finished up at Radford University. Um I believe in sports as a building up in virtue, especially for young men. Um a lot of young men, a lot of boys struggle in the school setting. I wasn't the best student. I didn't care to be honest with you. Uh, I learned a lot about becoming a man and working as a team and and seeing the fruit of hard work and learning about those important things on the sports field, on the baseball field, on the football field. So, um, I'm one of those guys that believes in the value of sports, especially for boys and young men. um get these boys out of the classrooms where all these teachers are trying to diagnose them with all these problems and hop them up on ADHD medication and aderall and and all this crap that's literally just suppressing and destroying their brains and their and their true energy that they have to bring where you've got these competitive physical boys that are that are, you know, stuck in a classroom and then, you know, they struggle with it and then you get these teachers in there that say [snorts] there's something wrong with them now. Put them on a sports field where they can be physical and they can compete against each other. Watch what happens. I'm a sports fan. Rosemary, thank you for the donation. Are you Catholic or Orthodox? All Christians must unite to get the infiltrated Zionism out of our Christian churches. Jesus Christ is King of Israel. I agree. I'm glad you asked this. Um, I had a number of people reach out to me yesterday and say, "Hey, I didn't know you were Orthodox." Um, I am not a part of the of the of the Orthodox Church. I want to make that clear. I am a Catholic. I am a proud and devout Catholic. Um, now I'm happy to talk about and engage in the theological differences. Um, I enjoy that to be honest with you. Um, I have a lot of respect for the Orthodox Church. I've read a lot about it. I've read a lot about the schism. Um, I see both sides for sure. Um, I've been raised and taught in the Catholic faith for my entire life. Um, and I'm one that questions things a lot and I need to understand things at a at a deep level and logically. And um, I'm pretty firm in in my Catholic faith. I understand there's I understand the church hasn't been perfect. I understand there's been scandals. Um, I talked a little bit about this a couple days ago. Um, I have great a greater amount greater amount of respect for the Orthodox Church. I have a greater amount a greater amount of respect for many Protestant denominations. I mean, I have many I have I have respect for everybody. I have respect for everybody as whether you're Christian, whether you're Jewish, whether you're Muslim. Um, you know, I I I don't agree with the ideologies. I don't agree with the belief systems, but as a person like I care about you and I want to seek the truth with you. when it comes to the confusion as to uh why people might have thought that I was Orthodox yesterday is because I used the term Orthodox to say that us Orthodox Christians meaning the Orthodox faith meaning the original faith especially as it relates to what we would an example is Zionism for the first 1600 years the orthodox Christian belief the original Christian belief about the Jews about the Jewish religion was that of supersessionism. That the Christian church that the the church that Christ established superseded or fulfilled the Jewish religion. This is orthodox Christian belief. Okay? Original Christian belief. You want to say like a conservative Christian, someone who was trying to conserve the original beliefs. Call us the Christians of the Apostles Creed, for example. I think that's a good way to put it. If we want to make a statement of faith that we want to unite around as orthodox, original traditional conservative Christians, I think it can be the Apostles Creed. I think that's a good way to look at it. But I myself and my wife and my kids are Catholic. Let's keep rolling. Shifu Kariga. [laughter] Shifu Karga. Thank you, Zach. Just so you know, the main thing on the Kirk stuff is and always has been the science and direct evidence. Anything else is soft. The main thing on the Kirk stuff is and always has been the science and direct evidence. Everything else is soft. I agree. I mean, you again, like I'm not I agree with you. has been the science and direct evidence. Um, I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but yeah, I mean, we want to live in truth, we want to live in reality, which when we live in truth and we live in reality, like we have to obviously acknowledge how things played out in reality and in real life. And that's what looking at science, science is the observation of reality. I'm not going to get into why science is a Christian endeavor right now. that's a rabbit hole that I'm not going to go down right this second. And direct evidence, which is the things that exist in reality. Um, I agree. I mean, I agree with you. I um I have no no argument with that. Um, I'll be on the lookout for you in in in next episodes. Maybe you can elaborate there on on what exactly you're talking about. Um, new channel member, April Moore, thank you for adding yourself as a member. Appreciate you. Uh, Susie, thank you for be becoming a channel member. Um, I'm Jinx. Thank you for the donation. It's time to build bridges. We have more in common than differences, primarily our Lord Jesus Christ. Boom. We need to unite around Jesus Christ. Again, I think that a good statement of faith for all of us here would be the Apostles Creed. These are the things that we believe in. We have certain issues that we target and we fight together. We protect our rights together. Like I said yesterday, if we do not unite and galvanize this base of people to create a movement, we are going to become extinct. I truly believe that is the goal of these ideologies and these belief systems that we are up against. Okay? Conflicting. It's not it's not wrong. It's not bigoted to say that there are conflicting and competing ideologies in this world. Like that's what it is. Like that's that's almost a good definition of what the spiritual battle is. It's a battle for your spirit, for your soul, for your mind, for all of you. It's a battle for your temple. Christianity, Judaism, secularism, feminism, liberalism, communism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism. Like, these are all these are all belief systems. These are these are all ideologies that are that are seeking to win us over. atheism. We have way too much in common. We have way too much in common to let the kind of interdenominational squables prevent us from fighting this fight, protecting our rights, protecting the rights of us as individuals and our families to pursue our faith and our God-given purpose.
