have dreaded this moment and looked forward to it for a long time. I think this microphone is working, so I'll get rid of that one. First of all, thank you, Dr. Hanford, for the invitation and the team here and for allowing me to talk about a topic like this, which is fraught with danger.  To the point where most of us don't even bring it up, we don't share our opinions on it. We are afraid to say what we think about it and most of us don't know what we think about it, which is one of the reasons we don't talk about it. A lot of times when I come here, I'm giving these uplifting talks about the Eucharist and Mary and I don't think this one's going to be such an uplifting talk. This is more I feel like I'm the watchman standing on the walls of a city and people are sleeping in the city and I see danger coming up the road and I grab my trumpet and I warn the people in the town that there's danger approaching. Something's happening. Something's coming over the horizon. We haven't thought about this yet. We haven't prepared a way to think about it or to defend ourselves against it and people have ignored it and not wanted to talk about it. And if we do, they say we're an Islamophobe or something else to insult us, so we've been quiet. And the United States and the West has been quiet without knowing what we're up against and what Islam is and how we should begin to think about it and to approach it. I'm not politically incorrect. Everybody knows that. I will try to be careful today, but I will not be politically correct. I'm not going to tap dance around this. I'm no Fred Astaire, believe me. I want to discuss it, jump right into it because I don't have enough time to do this. I'm not in any way going to be able to cover everything. What I'm hoping this talk will do today is not give you an exhaustive understanding of Islam. There's a lot of good books out there for that and tapes and talks. I'll mention several of them along the way. But what I hope to do today is to light a spark. I hope the spark starts a little fire in all of us, a flame of wanting to learn more, wanting to know more, wanting to understand and then to do something about it. If I can only spark a flame and spark your interest today, then I've accomplished what I've come to do. So let's start out. I want to do four things. First, an introduction. Why should I be talking about Islam? Number two, what is Islam? Number three, do we worship the same God? Is Allah an Aba? That's a talk that Dr. Han gave that you should get a copy of. I'm going to mention it several times because I listened to it again a couple times in preparation for this along with some books by Robert Spencer and some others. And I want to talk about is do we worship the same God? And also, how should we think about Islam? So I want to jump right in.  How many of you have ever been there during one of those services or even been inside of a mosque? How many of you have ever spent time in Muslim countries? Spent time? Many more people have done that than have been in a mosque. Have spent appreciable time in Muslim countries. And how many have even read the Quran? It's in your library. It's on your other side. One hand here, maybe two hands. I started reading. I've almost done reading through the Quran. I have to say it's one of the most tedious things I've ever had to read, but I'm working my way through it. But many of us are here facing this religion that is really imposing itself upon us now. And we haven't even taken the time to crack the book open and read and see what it says. And we hear it's a religion apiece. Read their own book. The problem I think with Americans today and even within the church is a lack of knowledge. We have a problem as Americans because we're good people. Most of us have a Christian background in America, whether Catholic or evangelical or Jewish, whatever. We have this very good religious background. And we think everyone else in the world is like us. We impose our persona, our religion, our thoughts, our ideas. We just assume that everybody else in the world is like us and they're not. Just think of the Aztecs when they were killing all of those tens of thousands of people in Mexico. They weren't like us. In infant sacrifice in biblical times where they were offering their babies to the gods Malik and Quimash Baal and Ashrut. They weren't like us. And Islam wanting to have jihad, terrorism and sharia law. They want to impose that on the world. We'll get into that a little bit more. And we just assume that they're like us. My best friend in Nazareth who's a Christian, 65% Muslim, 35% Christian in Nazareth, he says you Americans are very naive.  You assume that every other country, every other religion is like you so you don't have anything to worry because they're going to treat you like you expect to treat them. And it ain't so. That's one of our problems. And I think what I want to do is help us step out of our comfort zone and go through a learning process and realize that not everyone thinks and acts and does what we do. Not everyone has love your neighbor as their primary goal. The two laws to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. Not everyone believes that. I'm giving this talk because Islam is imposing itself upon us. Okay, I'm 63 years old. I never even knew about Islam until just recently. I never saw a Muslim. The first time I saw a Muslim is when my wife and I went to Israel for the first time in 1995. Since then we've been to Israel and all these places a lot more. And I've seen a change. They become much more fundamentalist, much more jihad, hajjibs, much more of a very expressive Islam, no longer wanting to be secular Islam like Turkey used to be. Look what's happening in Turkey today. And so I see Islam is imposing itself upon us. When I grew up and outside of Detroit, Michigan, I never saw a Muslim. I never heard about Islam. And now when I go to the grocery store, one out of three people is a Muslim. And they're coming in and they're wanting to express themselves around the world. Look at Europe. You want to see what we're going to be like in 20 years. Go visit Sweden or Holland or places like that, Germany. So what gives me the right to speak on Islam? I'm not Muslim and I never have been. I came here to give my conversion story from evangelical to Catholic, not from Islam to Catholic. I had a childhood where I never knew anything about it. But I've learned a lot since then and especially going to Muslim countries. I spent a lot of time in over 150 times in Israel and Palestinian areas just alone, not to count. I mean, the other times I've been in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, they invited me to come and give conferences at the at the parish of six of them in the Arab Emirates. I've done that twice. And Oman, I've been a lot of times in these countries. And one of the things I like to do when I visit these Muslim countries is to find the Christians and ask them what they think. How is it affecting you? What do you think about Islam? And they're not afraid to talk. They won't do it in public. And I'm not allowed to speak about it in public either. I've been told, do not talk about Islam when you give talks here. I'm speaking to a big audience of sometimes 30,000 people in India and the Philippines where the whole parking lot is full of seats with teletron TVs and they say one thing is do not mention Islam because we don't want our churches burned down after you leave. So I learn and I ask these people, I find a bishop, the first thing I do with the bishop is sit down and ask him what he thinks about Islam and how should we as Americans think about it. Then to the golden hikes many times where we take our groups and we park along the Syrian border and we look across and we talk about what's happening over there. Many times we've heard the bombs and felt the ground shake with the bombs going off and hear the machine guns. Knowing our brothers and sisters in Christ are being slaughtered on the other side. I want to learn. I have because my father would never give me a television. He made me read books when I was a kid. Good idea by the way, if your parents. I had the whole grew up with an insatiable curiosity. I had to know everything. So this is why I know about this topic to some degree because I go to these places and I ask a lot of questions. I'm 40 minutes away from Dearborn, Michigan, which is the largest Muslim community in the United States with the largest mosque. And already in some of the areas in Southeast Michigan, you hear the call to prayer. You know, I don't know. I don't do it very well, but you know what I mean. You've heard it from the minarets, the call to prayer. One time in Turkey, I went up the minaret with our group and I got to the top and I said, it's time for prayer. Our father, which art in heaven. I'm glad I got out of that one alive. Anyway, I live near this population. We're already the call to prayer is starting to be heard. And I say to people when they hear it in Israel or in any of these places, I hope you like the sound of this call to prayer at four o'clock in the morning because it's coming to a town near you. But I want to get into the three parts. What is Islam? Islam means submission. Simple as that the word Islam means submission and Muslim means to surrender. So a Muslim is one who surrenders and submits to Allah. And it is not primarily done out of love. You submit also to God. You also surrender to God. But why? Because he loves you and you love him back. The whole principle of Christianity is that we respond to love. God loves us. He sent his son to die for us and we love him back. In Islam, you submit to God because of a stick. It's all about fear.  Allah will do this. Allah will do that. It's all about the stick being hit on the back. You read the Quran all the way through. That's the way it is. And I talk to people and they say exactly that's what it is. Islam is you surrender out of fear and out of angst because God is not a God of love so much as he is a master, which we'll talk about soon. They claim to be Abrahamic. Who is the son of Abraham, by the way? Who is the son of promise of Abraham? No. No, no. You're confused. The Jews and the Christians, they changed the original scriptures, you know. The real son of the promise is Ishmael. Ishmael is the son of Abraham and from him are the descendants. The Arabs come from Ishmael. The Jews come from Isaac. Certainly not the promised people. It's the promised son of Ishmael. Now of course you know I'm just being sarcastic I hope. Ishmael is not. But they say that Muhammad came to correct the scriptures that were corrupted and that it's really Ishmael. Dr. Han's talk, Abba or Allah, does a nice job of comparing the two on that topic. Very nicely done by the way. Thank you. It's a good talk. Talks about Abba and Allah and the differences between the two and why one is out of love and why the other isn't and who is the real son of promise and what that all means. So Christians corrupted the scriptures and Muhammad came as a prophet to supersede, to correct and to fulfill to be the final prophet. Because see you say Jesus is the final prophet. He is the one that came from God. The word from God. They say no, no. It's Muhammad. Jesus is not God. He's not the son of God. He is simply a prophet like all the other prophets and Muhammad is the final prophet. He's come to to fulfill to correct what we Christians have screwed up and to get the true religion. In fact, you don't realize it but Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses and David, they were all Muslims. But you say but Muhammad wasn't even until 600 AD. How could they all be Muslims? Because they were following the true religion of Allah and the Jews and the Christians changed and converted the scriptures and changed it all and Muhammad came along to get things back on track again to the real religion of Abraham and Moses and David which was Allah then typically meaning Islam. This is what you're dealing with out there when we're talking about this. The way that you convert to Islam is very simple. You don't have to go through our CIA. You don't have to get baptized. You don't have to do anything. One statement is all it takes. There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet. Say that and mean it and you are a Muslim. Simple as that. That's how you convert. It's worldwide over 108 1.8 billion of them, second largest and they're catching up with us. Almost 22% of the world's population and growing.  It means God. Who is a Muhammad? I'm just going to run through these just for the facts of it. He was an Arab from Arabia who was regarded as a founder and descendant of Ishmael. The founder of Islam and the descendant of Ishmael born around 580 nobody knows the exact date died in June of 632 allegedly given the revelation of the Quran. The word Quran means recitation and it was he was allegedly given this recitation verbatim from Gabriel the archangel but don't forget that even Paul says the devil can masquerade as an angel of light and this was supposedly given the Quran word for word. The two big things that are there is the Quran but then there's also something called the Hadith which is the life of Muhammad. It talks about his life is exploits the way he lived he's considered to be infallible and he is the model or the standard to be followed. He is the holy one. He is the one to be followed so when he marries a six-year-old girl and consummates a marriage when she's nine years old I guess that this is what Muslims believe is okay because this is the way Muhammad lived and in the Hadith you hear his story and how he lived and that is the model for how all Muslims should live based on his life just like we do Jesus Christ Jesus Christ the way he lived we model our lives after him. St. Paul even says as I follow Christ you follow me this is the way they believe you should follow Muhammad.  In fact in Dr. Han's talk I liked it he starts up by talking how he was having breakfast with a Muslim and every time he referred to God his father Dr. Han made the point of he is not that's blasphemy and the guy got up and left because every time we how can we talk about God not is not as our father or Jesus Christ the Son of God and everything heresy out he goes but that's the way it is Muhammad is the last of the prophets. Two main divisions Sunni and Shia don't want to talk about that because I want to talk too much about the other things 85 to 90 percent of the Muslims in the world are Sunnis mainly in Saudi Arabia Turkey North Africa Syria and everywhere else 10 to 15 percent of Muslims are Shia and that's mostly in Iran Pakistan Indian Iraq but mostly in Iran. There's other groups too they're kind of like Protestants there's a lot of different sects and groups there's Alawi Sufi Wahabi and so on so I want to get out do that now we go to the five pillars of Islam one of the reasons why people find Islam as a very attractive religion is because it is so simple and straightforward very simple and straightforward there's not a lot you have to do to be a Muslim first of all the first one is faith second is prayer charity fasting and pilgrimage those are the five tenets practices of Islam first of all I already mentioned in order to be a Muslim you have to say there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet that's the first one faith you express that you are Muslim second of all prayer you have to pray now they don't all do it just like all Catholics don't do what we're supposed to do either but they have the requirement every five times a day to face towards Mecca and in fact if you're in any of these countries in the Middle East Muslim countries and now even becoming non-Muslim countries you'll always find an arrow with a little picture of Mecca and an arrow pointing so that the Muslims know which way to pray most of the time you go in a hotel pull out the drawer and right next to the Gideon Bible is a little pointer so you know which way to pray when you pray to Mecca it's even on airplanes I've flown in airplanes from Arab countries and they even have on the screen it changes where the airplane is to let you know where Mecca is while you're on the airplane so when you pray you can face that way five times a day dawn noon afternoon evening and night the one I don't like the most is dawn because it's four o'clock in the morning it always wakes me up charity the giving of alms we're required they are required to give alms fasting mainly the month of Ramadan we don't know much about Ramadan but it is a huge event when you're in Muslim areas because that's the month of fasting you can't eat anything from sun up to sun down no drinking water no eating food nothing a pleasurable but after the sun goes down boy do they eat pilgrimage to Mecca is something that is required of every Muslim who can and has the possibility of doing it a Muslim Muslim has their obligation to go to Mecca it's called a Hajj they go round and around this building that they say is where Muhammad was born there in Mecca and they millions millions go to Saudi Arabia counterclockwise they go around this building called the cube and it's has to do with Abraham they say and this is the fifth requirement of Islam very straightforward very simple doesn't require a lot of you really not like it the Christianity does of us we have to love our neighbors we have to become holy oh my goodness we have so many things we have to do Islam straightforward it's all basically outward things that you have to do you can fulfill all the obligations of Islam by doing outward things it's a capital crime to convert not to Islam anybody can convert to Islam and you get padded on the back for that but it's illegal it's a capital crime to leave Islam to become something else there are some who tell us that there are millions of Muslims converting today to Christianity Father Zachariah who is a Coptic priest in Egypt he's on the air he's always they're always out to get this guy but he knows the Quran better than they do and he preaches and he's got YouTubes and he goes all over the world and he says there are millions of Muslims converting but you don't hear about it because to say so you will get in big trouble even executed that's the penalty for conversion and there's also something going on even the United States that we don't hear about much anymore at all is honor killings because in a Muslim family if a daughter or somebody in the family becomes westernized or marries a western or a Christian or a girl marries a Christian man or something that's called an honor killing it's the responsibility of the father or this oldest son to kill that girl for the honor of the family something we as Christians do right something very common for us right so we understand these things i'm being a little sarcastic because we often think that this is a religion like ours we're often told that even by some in the church that we're talking about a religion that's very much like us a religion of peace a religion that just wants to live and let live and so on but this is not at all and we need to know the truth about what it is now i'm going to get to the point part two which is a little theologically interesting do we worship the same god when i get up in the morning and i pray to god am i worshiping the same god that muhammad abdule wakes up in saudi arabian prays to god are we praying to the same god my answer to that is somewhat yes and no and let me explain the catechism in paragraph 841 which is quoting lumen gentium and vatican too the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the creator in the first place amongst them are the muslims these profess to hold the faith of abraham and together with us they adore the one merciful mankind's judge on the last day paragraph 841 if you read that on its face value it says oh my goodness the muslims and us worship the same god and they're saved says that they're they're also the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge among them the muslims so they're already saved they've got a great relationship with god and they profess well so they're they're holding the faith of abraham too it says and together with us they adore the one merciful god so i guess they're like us i guess they worship the same god i guess we don't need to evangelize them because it says right here they're the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge meaning the muslims so many people have taken this paragraph to mean that you don't evangelize muslims they're okay that they're the same god we are we just express it in different ways but i want to unpack this a little bit in the context this paragraph 841 is in a larger context entitled those who have not yet received the gospel this about the islam and muslims is in a category in the catechism which starts out with for those who are have not yet received the gospel and they talked about the jews the muslims the hindus the buddhist and so on so that's not trying to if you just take that quote out of out of context you can make it say a lot more than it intends to say just like you can take verses out of the bible and make it say more than it's meant to say this is not telling us that the muslims are already saved because they're part of that plan what it's saying is that they also want to serve the one god and they are striving to serve the one god and to obey the dictates of their conscience and therefore they are also let's say due to no fault of their own this but the catechism says this about everybody say the little boy in the amazon jungles who's never heard of jesus but it says that these two anyone also may be saved if they seek after god and they obey the dictates of their conscience and you know i give the example i was raised in michigan i was raised in a baptist family the bible was in my hand all the time went to church knew about jesus from from the my mother's milk the little boy in the amazon jungle never hears of jesus and there's the judgment day and god says steve ray you come into heaven because you you believed in my son and you little boy you never believed in my son so to hell with you the little boy is going to say well that's not fair steve ray was raised if i was raised in steve ray's family i would have been a christian because i wanted to know god and i was trying to do it was right and follow up but i didn't know who you were so the muslims if you're raised in a muslim family and you seek to serve as one god what the catechism is saying is that these two may be saved if due to no fault of their own the two in ignorance that they never had a chance to overcome and due to no fault of their own and they still obey the conscience that they have that these two may be saved and this is the plan of salvation but it's also telling us that the muslims those who have still not yet received the gospel and then where it says they profess to hold the faith of abraham know it doesn't say that they do hold the faith of abraham it says they profess to hold that's very important that wording there they profess to hold the faith of abraham which they don't of course only in some small ways and that they together worship this one god now i believe that lumen gentium and pope francis's comments and so on recently have a pastoral tone more than a theological tone or a doctrinal tone they're more in the last 50 years i think that we have if there's a balance between trying to build bridges and understand and to be um it's a word i want to use to relate to we should do that but not to the neglect of really understanding and being honest about what islam is there's a balance here and i think that we have not struck the balance very well in the last 50 years one of the things i'm hoping this talk if i don't get killed on my way out of here hoping that this talk will spark and inspire people to think about this they strive to follow the one god and obey their conscience but the ones who do suicide bombings are less chance than others because that is something that obviously the conscience cannot accept those kind of actions as some of them have have been doing robert spencer makes the interesting comment the vatican council is only noting what they claim their faith is of abraham without discussing whether it is whether or not islam actually is authentically following the faith of abraham so do we worship the same god yes and no here's a practical way to look at it say that this room was a mixture of american populations some of them are muslims some are jews some are christians some are atheists polytheists pantheists whatever and i say okay we're going to divide the room up i want all of the monotheists to go to this side of the room and all of the polytheists and atheists and others to go on this side of the room guess what we end up finding ourselves on that side of the room with the muslims we're on that side because we're monotheists we believe in one god we are on the muslim side in that category and against the others who are atheists pantheists polytheists or whatever else you isms you can come up with so we find ourselves on the side of islam with that division but i think let's divide it up and make it even maybe a little more understandable paul says in romans chapter one 19 and 20 these are two of my favorite verses in the bible that which is known about god is evident to everyone for god made it evident to them for since the creation of the world his invisible attributes his eternal power his divine nature have been clearly seen being understood through what has been made so by looking at the nature at creation at what god has made by the way that's the greek word poema by looking at god's poem his creation you can tell something about god his divine nature his eternal power his other attributes now let's imagine there's a young man in saudi arabia who goes out at night and looks up to the stars and he said oh my goodness the universe has an amazing creator perfect unchanging self self subsistence eternal beautiful artist creator and sustainer of everything wow we have a beautiful god he sees that in saudi arabia now a boy is walking out at night on the farm in ohio and he looks up at the stars and he says oh my goodness the universe has an amazing creator perfect unchanging self subsistence eternal creator sustainer of all wow are they both worshiping and thinking about the same god at this point yes this is called natural revelation we have in the catholic church natural and special revelation natural revelation is what you see with your eyes special revelation is what you hear with your ears how will they know without a preacher so with natural revelation when you go out and see they both are worshiping the same god the one god who created all of this but when the boy in saudi arabia goes back in the house he picks up their religious book the only one that's allowed in saudi arabia and it's called the Quran and he picks it up to learn more about this one god and he begins to read and he gets one perspective of what this god is and the boy in ohio happens to be in a town that is a very christian town and he picks up the dusty old bible on the coffee table and he begins to read about what god is and he comes to a very different perspective do they now worship the same god no very different the boy in saudi arabia is worshiping allah with his one god no son all of the and we'll talk about that in a minute and the boy in ohio is reading the bible and finding out that god is a trinity made of three persons in one god and then he sent jesus christ the son who has two natures very different perspective on the level of natural revelation i can say that we worship the same god on the level of special revelation we worship very different gods and i think that's probably a good way to think through it and christians have special revelation the word of god in tradition and scripture and christian revelation does not need muhammad and the angel to supersede or perfect it thank you very much he bruised chapter one verses one through two i paraphrase that in the past god has spoken to men in many ways through his prophets but in these last days he has spoken through his son he has spoken through his son jesus is what the word of god god speaks through his word jesus christ god himself the second person becomes incarnate and dwells among us that is god's word in person he is the final word and the catechism says when he sent his son that was the final word and god had nothing left to say oh you think you're going to supersede this muhammad you think you're going to correct our scriptures you're more important prophet than jesus no thank you this is our special revelation we know and because jesus came and died in rose again that he is the son of god and he is the final word of god there will be no prophets we don't need joseph smith to start the mormons we don't need muhammad to start this and all the other isms that they say that they've come to fulfill and to supersede we have the final word gearhard mewler who is the recent prefect for the congregation the doctrine of the faith said muslims and christians do not believe in the same god and he said that without contradicting magisterial teaching he said of course and he's actually making the two points of special and natural revelation here of course you can also on a philosophical level natural revelation say together say together there is only one god we all see in our understanding the god as the same god but by understanding the christian revelation our special revelation it is not the same god in this respect the christian god is very different from allah the god of the muslims so yes muslims have a small part of the truth but they also have very much error and we better figure out what to do about it and i think we ought to realize too that they need to be evangelized i think we need to do three things first understand them second decide what to do and how to react to them and third start learning how to evangelize muslims they're tough but it can be done because i you've seen many many places where they're converting now and in the past many ways that they have converted as well now five ways to compare trying to figure out how much time i have left here 17 18 more minutes okay i'm going to have to speed up my talking a little bit i will try to enunciate and be succinct but i'm going to talk a little faster five different ways that you can think about yaway the god of our god the god of israel and the god of the christians and allah the god of the muslims ways that they're very different in islam allah is pure will and arbitrary he's will to say that allah cannot do something is a heresy in islam allah can do anything he is pure will he's arbitrary in the sense that in our christianity god is love and god is rational god is both love and rational that's why science developed because you can think god's thoughts after him two plus two is four and it works everywhere in the universe god our god is rational but our god is also love it never says god is justice or god is holiness it says god is love and for god to be a god of love that requires or it means that certain actions he's going to relate to his creation in a certain way he's going to relate to his creation out of love and out of rationality whereas in islam god is pure will power can do anything there's no limitations on him the ends justify the means in islam which is why in many places when you go i mean i remember the archbishop of smirna he's a good friend of mine his parents are up for canon to be canonized soon they're on the road to sainthood this archbishop and whenever i went to smirna and turkey i talked to him a lot because that's all muslim turkey is 99 percent muslim and he always says you don't negotiate with muslims you can't have a real honest dialogue because they can lie to your face and walk away because this is what Allah says to do you can do this with an unbeliever because all of you are infidels you know and you don't have to treat the infidels the same way as you do muslim believers two different ways you can relate to people and he said it's futile to negotiate because you can work and work and get a deal with them and he said they can walk away and stab you in the back because that's the way Allah is you remember people live like their gods if your god is a god of pure will and power then people can live that way and they follow and live like their god but if your god is love then you start to live and follow the way he is people live like their gods islam ala is master i'm gonna mention the talk again that dr. han gave as soon as he said god was father heresy he's not father he's Allah he's master and christianity god is a father our father which art in heaven you have no idea how traumatic and what an amazing thing it is that jesus tells us we can call the creator the universe abba father he is a father and if he's our father how does that relate to us as christians when we come to government the government is not there to impose upon us it's there to assist us like a father does it's there to care for our best and our well-being if you do an employer a employer doesn't view his employees as slaves he views them as equals to him and he works with them in a sense of employment as we know in this country and a husband and a wife if your husband and a wife and this Allah is pure power and he's the he is the master then you watch Muslims their wives are 10 feet behind them walking behind them they have that same attitude between a husband and a wife the wife tends to be like the servant making children and cleaning the house the man is like Allah he is the master but in christianity it's very different see so you can see when you have god who is master that filters down into the whole society how they live and how they think of themselves and their family and their employees in their countries and other people and in christianity of god is love you see how that filters down to the way we think of god and the way we think our families and so on very different people live like their gods how does god reveal himself islam according to chesterton i love chesterton gk chesterton he says islam has a lonely god he's just one person up in heaven he's a lonely god and some people then say that he had to create people because he was lonely he wanted someone to talk to we don't have a lonely one person isolated god we have a trinity three gods in three persons in one godhead and they love each other there's no loneliness in our god the father loves the son the son loves the holy spirit they love each other in fact you know why you got created some people think they got created because god wanted to have people to whip them and make them you know punish them and all this angry god in heaven no no no no no god created you because him the three persons of the trinity have so much fun together they have so much love and fun it's bubbling over and they said oh this is way too much fun we have to create other beings like us in our image to share all of this with did you know that's why god created you because he loved they love each other so much they have so much fun together they created you so they could have bubble over and they are to let you share in it with them christianity is very different than Allah the lonely god who just makes dictates and gets you to follow him by hitting you with a stick basically and to simplify things number three oh that's how that was number three number oh by the way in that regard of the lonely god just one when you many times now when we go up from the parking lot up the road to the church of the enunciation in nazareth we see signs that the muslim put up because they know millions of christians are going to be going past this sign and so they put up signs god is but one god god forbid that he should have a son the messiah the son of mary was no more than an apostle christians call christ the son of Allah Allah's curse be upon them how they are deluded away from the truth these are big signs now that you see as the christian pilgrims are walking up to the church of the enunciation and why they're because that's where god became man do you know that on the altar in the grotto of the church in nativity it says the word became flesh here here in space and time two thousand years ago he didn't become god he didn't become man incarnated in Bethlehem that was nine months after the fact it's in nazareth that the word of the angel and the fiat of mary that the word became flesh here the latin word heik but as you're going up there the muslims want to correct you and there's now times many times i've seen on friday where they have muslim apologists there we're on the road trying to block the christians and hold their bibles out and said show us where jesus said he's god show us from your own book and they challenge the christians as they go up they deny the son listen to what john writes in the bible first john 222 who is a liar but he who denies that jesus is christ he is antichrist who denies the father and the son whoever denies the son does not have the father either he who acknowledges the son has the father also every spirit that does not confess that jesus christ has come in the flesh is not a spirit of god and this is the spirit of the antichrist which you have heard is coming and is now already in the world obviously he wasn't talking about islam but the spirit of antichrist denies the father and the son and that the father sent the son there's a great hostility of muslims to the cross and the people of the cross we need to prepare ourselves christianity number four way to think about the two they have different political orders in christianity we have always maintained that the church is there to inform the state and the state is there to govern and be informed by the religion by christianity they are not one and the same the church never wants to be in charge and take over the politics of a country the catholic church has no desire or evangelicals either to become the government they want to be outside the government separate institution but informing the government of what it should do and the government in spawn responds to take care of the people in the response to the christian mentality and teaching but in slum is not that way there is no separation in fact when you think of a slum i would think of it as a religion only secondarily primarily it is a political ideology how many of you think of islam as a political ideology we're always told that it's a religion it is a religion but i think primarily it is a political ideology and they want to have the whole world under a law as a theocracy a government ruled by god theo god accuracy government a government ruled by god and who then administers it the imams and the mulas look at iran today who's in charge of iran the ayatollah it's a political ideology islam can never accept democracy it can never accept the idea of a king it can only accept a theocracy islam it's built right into its structure that there is no separation between religion and government it's all one and it ultimately has to be brought under a law and they have plans for america i've been reading some of these things the ultimate goal is not just to have saudi arabia under a law that goal of it is to bring it to the whole world to bring the whole world under a law and to be ruled what's called a caliphate which is a government run on islamic law morals there's a very vast difference in morals christianity tends to we say more to fly the flesh do not live according to the deeds of the flesh lust and and letting your sexual desires drive you and theft and lying and all these things but be pure in spirit the fruits of the spirit Paul gives us in galatians we are to deny the flesh we are to deny our carnal instincts and to live in the spirit serving god that way not so in islam islam is very carnal and i'm not even going to say this myself but first of all what is the reward when you go to heaven what is your reward you get to be with god and adore the trinity and the beatific vision and be with your family and praise and worship and be in the glory of heaven what does the muslim man get promised what heaven what is the primary goal to get there 72 dark guide virgins i always wonder what do the women get when they get to heaven and muslim islam what's prepared for the women in heaven this is what i mean it's a very male oriented religion and it's all about carnality and if i can say that pretty much because if that's the goal of heaven is 72 blind uh blue dark guide virgins for all of eternity then guess what they're how they think of heaven and of life i'm and i'm not even going to say this i'm going to read i'm i know i'm running short on time well boy am i running short on time i'm just going to read part of this Aquinas angelic doctor of the church Muhammad seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concuponsense of the flesh urges us his teachings contain precepts and conformity with his promises and he gave free reign to carnal pleasure in the in all of this he was obeyed by carnal men for proofs of the truth of his doctrine he brought forward only such as could be grasped by natural ability of anyone with the most modest wisdom indeed the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity this is Thomas Aquinas this is in me he did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way which alone fittingly gives witness to the divine inspiration on the contrary Muhammad said that he was sent by the power of his arms in other words the sword which he which are signs not lacking even among tyrants and robbers what is more no wise men men trained in things divine or human believed in him from the beginning those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers utterly ignorant of all divine teaching through whose numbers Muhammad forced others to become his followers by the violence of the sword preceding prophets offer him no witness so in other words no prophets ever gave him witness on the contrary he perverts almost all the testimony of the Old and New Testaments by making them into a fabrication of his own and he can be seen by anyone who examines his law it was therefore a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to ever read the Old or New Testaments lest these books convince him them of his falsity it is thus clear that those who place faith in his words believe foolishly summa contra gentiles book one chapter six i didn't say that i only quoted why don't we ever hear this taught why are we always taught that they are like us we're imposing our perspective on them they're like us they have the same views they have the same spiritual body they have the same why don't we hear about this this is what i'm saying i hope i spark something today i hope that i know it's not a pleasant talk i didn't come to give a pleasant talk today all the other ones i did this one i didn't i wanted this was a warning talk i have a quote here too from my best friend in israel but i'm not going to read all of that but he could just confirms everything and he says and they have the audacity to call their religion equal among the monotheistic religions this is my friend who's a kind of a bible scholar and anyway so muslims worship their god out of fear and it's all very carnal christians are very much the opposite our current situation there are many nice muslims how many work with muslims have muslim neighbors they're nice folks right most of them are i'm not talking that we should not like muslims there's a difference between muslims and islam i do condemn the radicals those ones who are doing great harm but i have to say and i hope i don't get in trouble for saying this but the jihadists and the terrorists are not radicals they are only the ripe fruit of islam they are doing what you read in the quran jimmy achon one time i hope he doesn't mind i quote him saying this but jimmy achon one time said he's a catholic answers apologist said the only good muslim is a bad muslim the only good muslim that we think is good our nice neighbor the person that sits in the cuban extras we say they're a nice muslim because they're really not practicing what the quran says quran gives three alternatives that you are to fight the infidels everywhere you meet them but islam muslims don't do that until they get to be a majority they come in quietly they don't assimilate if you think they do go look at germany go look at netherlands go look at sweden where they brought so many in and even in minnesota they brought a bunch of sudanese in and now they regret it they said these people will not assimilate they want everything their way and once just like in detroit now what they're wanting to do is they have their own sharia law and in france in paris they have called no go zones where the muslims they don't even let the police in they have their own sharia law but the only good muslim we think is the one who really doesn't follow the full teachings of islam and europe's experience shows that isis thank god they're being wiped out but i don't think that they're so much radical if you go back and look at the history of islam and what mohammad did mohammad took the sword he took the soldiers and he rampaged across and the muslims went across northern african they came up and they converted by the sword and there are three things that you as a christian can do when they come in and if you haven't been following the news and i bet you haven't because the news here doesn't want you to know what was happening in syria and iraq but i know because my friends have family living there and i hear what actually happens there what happened when isis came through there and those radicals in in syria is you have three choices mr christian you can convert right now say on your knees in front of your village that there is no god but allah and mohammad is his prophet say it and if you don't then you have two other choices and by the way the christians don't the second choice is to become a dimmy which means a slave you would get charged an exorbitant tax that no one can begin to pay and you are set aside as a slave as an infidel among us and there's serious consequences for that and the third one is that you die they kill you with a sword there are stories in syria where the muslims came into these christian villages and they said convert and the christian said no they said then you have the other option we're going to kill you or you leave with nothing in your arms you leave with the shirt on your back right now go walk away i don't care where you go and they have to leave and one woman had her baby in her arm and she starts to walk away with her baby and the man stopped her and he says ma'am i said nothing you take and they took the baby away and made her leave fight the infidels wherever you see them they don't do it when they're sitting next to you in the cubicle but i think that when areas get to be predominantly muslim this becomes much more of a possibility history proves it over over again if the hadith says that the mohammad is the one that we follow he's our example look at how he lived his life and look how muslims have and their goal is to take over with the sword they use used to use the sword today they use population and immigration you know what i mean by population how many how many babies are americans having even catholics too how many babies are muslims having i know families that have 25 they have four wives they have an unfair advantage not all of them but they can't have up to four wives the battle of lopanto i'm out of time but the battle of lopanto is something you should read about i'm just have to close because i'm out of time and i want to be obedient we need to know and teach the truth we can love the muslim but we do not have to love islam i think that we need to teach our children we need to learn more about what it is i have a vested interest i have 15 grandkids and one on the way i tell my kids i want you to raise my grandchildren to be martyrs and little maria fostin says but grandpa why do you want us all to die maria fostin i don't want you to die but i want you to know that there are dangers in the world and you are a christian and it's not going to be easy to be a christian when you're my age the world is changing and i want you to know that there is something worth living for and there is something worth dying for and never ever compromise never ever back down thank you now somebody says okay now what do we do i'm only telling you about how i perceive what islam is i didn't say i was going to say what we should do that's another talk for another time or maybe another speaker but i will say that i think three things we need to understand don't let the media lie to us don't let the even pastors who tell you that it's a religion of peace just ignore we the church is not doing us any favors right now i have to say that we need to have people stand up and tell us the truth of what's really going on and i think we need to understand to be ready to resist and to act as christians lovingly but also to know what's happening and how to respond and more than else we have to see muslims as people who are without yet the gospel and who need to be evangelized i hope that you are sparked today thank you for listening god bless you and may the god of abraham isek and jacob who sent his son will worship him amen


We've seen here in India with Moseap Card is how that's developed, the people that were unbanked. So people now got so much of a higher penetration of bank accounts and they're moving into credit, moving into loans and these kind of things. That's going to be that lesson and that example. It's going to be really important to see what lessons can be learned for other countries around the world. When startups come together, whether it's with an accelerator, whether it's a catapult organization bringing those how to mentor, how to build peer-to-peer networks. It's clustering so you can get skills, collaboration. That's how you start to go much beyond the sum of all of your parts for each startup. Payments and payment structures seem to be the bedrock with fintech of so many unicorns. And there's a reason for that because that's what's needed.  So you can have a startup here in Bengaluru, you can have a startup in London that can actually power the world. Mauritius is, as we say, Chota Bharat. Yes. So we are here, we have met with my colleague the minister. We have discussed areas of collaboration, partnership in various sectors of the ICT and we hope that we continue this collaboration, this partnership so that India and Mauritius continue to work together for the future. We talk about digital world, we talk about connectivity, AI, blockchain, big data. Everything when we talk about what is important is security, as you rightly said. Okay. Security is very important, that is why all the countries in the world, they are putting lots of emphasis on cyber security. Yes. And Mauritius, we are ranked first in Africa in terms of cyber security by the International Telecommunication Union. Right. And we have discussed today with the minister that we will have a collaboration, an MOU. We serve India and serve Mauritius so that we could continue to share best practices. We will continue to share innovative ideas how we could have a very secure cyberspace because if you don't have a secure cyberspace, you will not be able to do all these advancement technological progress because you will have hydrogen pockets. So cyber security is a very important topic that will dominate the world for tomorrow.


Hi, I'm Gennaro, I'm Senior Application Engineer, focussed on motor control application. Today I'm going to tell about what we believe is a real breakthrough, offering a complete system for the industrial segment. So I'm going to do a quick overview on our ST EVAL HKI001-V2. This evaluation kit is a complete servo drive system for motor control application tailored for single or three-phase main input, enabled to manage up to 35 amperes with a 1200V LGBT technology. First of all, I'd like to talk about ST microelectronics engagement in the motor control market. Nowadays, this market is moving quickly in the direction of higher efficiency, high level of integration, safety and reliability. ST microelectronics is meeting this market demand not just with the right products, but also offering a complete ecosystem. With a wide range of evaluation board reference design, firmware and development tools that will simplify and accelerate the design cycle of your industrial drive system. Having said that, let's see in detail the boards, the product and tools around this servo drive system that has been designed considering a stackable approach with three different boards. The first one is the power stage called ST EVAL CTM002-V2, which contains the power model in the ASPAC II package and more precisely the A2C35 S12M3F. This power model embeds a converter-inverter brake topology, an NTC for temperature monitoring, integrating the advanced trench gate field stop IGBT technology to offer the best trade-off between conduction and switching losses in order to maximize the efficiency. It also features a brake function with an external power resistor and a press-fit option pin to offer and to guarantee a high level of safety and robustness. In the same board, we have also included a galvanically-isolated current sense in circuitry to provide a fully-isolated platform. Here is the driver stage designed around our galvanically-isolated gate driver, ST GEP1AS, with advanced protection, configuration and diagnostic features. An optimized circuitry with a high current capability address the ST GEP1AS to vary a power inverter to better drive any IGBT embedded in the power model. Moreover, a full set of protection like overvoltage, overcurrent, over-temperature and an inrush current limiter guarantee a high level of fold-event management. The last one is the control board. It is shown based on STM32F303, which is a powerful microcontroller able to perform any kind of field-oriented control algorithm for both sensor and sensorless solutions to provide the best performance in thermal torque and speed loop. And last, a can interface and an RS232 allow to let you monitor and control the entire system. So, finally, in thermal customer support, we can say that ST provides a wide range of resources. In fact, in order to provide the best possible support to our customers during the development and the designing phase, we have also included this servo drive system in the motor control library environment with an optimized graphical user interface called motor control workbench that enables the setup and the configuration phase of your entire system with a few simple steps. These take an important benefit to our customers that want to create and design their own solution to evaluate our product and their performance. Check out on ST.com and find out more details on STEVAL-HKI001-V2.


Around Dodd City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke, starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved West with young America. The story of a man who moved with it. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. All gone if Dodge ain't grown a heap since I was here. It is very big. Front Street must have seven-eight saloons. A lot of towns I see don't even have that many houses. We are going to stay here? Now, Nina, I told you not to fret yourself.  Well, look there. The Longhorn Saloon. You know, a man might find whiskey fit to drink in a place like that. Just drop your reins over the rack, Nina. Your old pony ain't about to go nowhere. I will wait right here, Cuff. Here in the dust and heat. Come on, get down off that old horse. You've been riding so long you need to walk around, son. All right. Anyway, it's cooler inside. If they got a lady's parlor, you can sit in there. Well, sit on the porch. Come on. Son, they got a parlor. There's a side door over there, Nina. You go on in and wait. Glass arrived, bartender. Hold that drink, bartender. That's so. The place is down along the river. Let Mex women come in and sit. I've heard tell them. Maybe that's where you better go. Bartender, I ain't got my drink yet. Mister, you don't understand what I said.  Maybe. No, he ain't. This place don't serve nobody. It walks in with no dirty Mexes. All right, hold it. Hold it. All right, you men, take Lawson out to a horse drop and soak his head for him. The rest of you get about your business. Come on.  What could have been a man-sized fight? How fights like that lead to killings. Down if they don't.  You get that way in my profession. Oh, what's that? Army scout. I'm on my way to Fort Wallace. What's yours? The United States Marshal. My name's Dylan. I notice they paid you a heap of attention. I'm Cuff Peters and proud to know you. Marshal, I want you to meet somebody. This here's Nina. She's my wife. How do you do? Ma'am. God, I... Nina and me been traveling quite a spell. Oh, where'd you ride from? Come up from Texas. Figured we'd stay over here and dodge if I can find a place. Nina's been feeling poorly. How long do you figure on staying and dodge, Cuff? Can't rightly say, Marshal. Why? Well, you made trouble for yourself when you hit Hank Lawson. Isn't that right? It'll bother him, Cuff, and he'll be after you. I know you can't make Fort Wallace, so it might be better if you and your wife rode out to Fort Dodge and stayed there. He's right, Cuff. We should go on right now. We don't want no trouble.  Besides, I got things to do. Look, Cuff, I don't want any trouble here. I sure don't aim to cause any. Now, how about joining me in a drink, Marshal? I still got a glass of rye coming. Dodge was real quiet for the next week, except when a drunked-up cowboy tried to burn the town down because he lost at a pharaoh table. I kept an eye on Hank Lawson, but the trouble I'd been expecting between him and Cuff Peters seemed to blow over. Chester heard somewhere that Cuff had found a room for Nina and himself at the Witte Helgersons' place out at the edge of town. I didn't see Cuff again except once when he drove the Witte's buckboard into town, loaded it up with food and supplies, and drove back out. Then one morning while Chester was cleaning up the office, Cuff walked in. Morning, Marshal. Hello, Cuff.  The time will come, Marshal. Huh? Oh, Cuff, this is Chester Proudfoot. Cuff Peters. Well, sir, I'm that proud, Mr. Peters. Howdy. Mr. Dillon told me how you knocked old Hank Lawson across the bar at the Longhorn. I sure do wish I'd seen that. Chester isn't too far to Hank. Well, if I'm going to hit him again, I'll let you know. Well, thank you. Marshal, what I come for was to get your help. Oh, what is it, Cuff? Well, I don't know much about doctors and all. They say you're a good friend of the one in town. Oh, I've known Doc for a long time. What do you need? Well, I'm not Alen, but Nina's feeling real puny. Huh? I think maybe someone should have a look at her. We ain't been married but five, six months. I don't understand much about women folk and their Alen. Uh, Chester, run up and get Doc, will you? Yes, Mr. Dillon. You see, Marshal, the thing that bothers me the most is that I got to start out for Fort Wallace right soon. I already stayed here longer than I intended.  That's what I want to know from the Doc. Is she too sick to ride? Oh, you could leave her here. She could come on later. Mm-hmm. I just pure hate to leave her behind if I didn't have to. Oh, uh, hello, Mac. Where's the patient? Uh, Doc, this is Cuff Peter's Doc, Adam. Hi, did you miss Tom? Howdy. Mr. Peter wants you to have a look at his wife. I'm ready. My bag's by the door there.  Well? The only reason to mention it, some folks here seems to take exception. Oh, for heaven's sake, standing here talking is going to help Mrs. Peter's any if she's sick, you know? You ready to go, young man? I'm ready, Doc. Marshal, I want to thank you. Sure, Cuff. Goodbye. See you later, man.  Yeah, he seems to be, Chester. What's he do for a living? It's Army Scout, he says, on his way out to Fort Wallace. I always had in mind that Scout was more tricky. Chuck, he's no more sly than me.  He's small, but he can take care of himself. Well, one thing. You don't seem letting nothing upset him, none. Well, he's worried about his wife, Chester. Plenty. Chester, you're going to get a bellyache. I can't help it, Mr. Dillon. Ever since I was a little boy, I just get up craving for wheat cakes that suffer. Four servings? Well, I... It does make up quite a pile, don't it? But then that molasses kind of keeps them wetted down. Oh, hello, Matt. Chester. Sit up, Doc. Oh, yeah, thank you. Yeah, you going to eat? No, Matt. No, I ate out at Widow Helgersons with Cuff and his wife. How is she, Doc? She's resting, isn't she?  Just as nice and sweet. Yeah, she is. What went wrong with her, Doc? There's nothing that won't be right in about six more months. Well, that don't make sense, Doc. She's going to have a baby, Chester. She is. Well, it only took a minute to see that. I guess Cuff meant it when he said he didn't know much about women. Well, I should think a baby would be easy enough to tell about. Ah, Chester. Oh, yes. Cuff sent a message to you, Matt. He's going on out to Fort Wallace.  Well, that's a ten-day ride there, in fact, Doc. Well, I know, Matt, a little while. I don't like Mrs. Peters staying alone here in Dutch. There's nothing to be worried about. She's in good hands here. But the Widow Helgersons are an old lady, Doc. She wouldn't be much help to Nina. Well, what kind of help would she be needing, Mr. Dillon? More than an old lady could give him. If Hank Lawson finds out that she's alone here. We will return for the second act of gun smoke in just a moment. This coming Tuesday night, you have one date with Pam and Jerry North, and another date with John Lund as yours truly, Johnny Dollar. If mystery is your dish, then listen in as Mr. and Mrs. North and Johnny Dollar dish it out. Remember, the night is Tuesday, the network is CBS Radio, and the shows are Mr. and Mrs. North and yours truly, Johnny Dollar. They're here on most of these same stations this coming Tuesday. Now the second act of gun smoke. That's about everything, Mrs. Peters? Yes. Thank you. Give your hand out to the buck boy. He's not that much. I can carry it. Well, I'll get the door for you then, ma'am. Thank you, Mr. Perry. Good day. Good day, ma'am. It ain't Mrs. Peters come to town to do a week shopping. I beg your pardon? Excuse me, ma'am. I ain't being very polite. This is Cain Twig. I'm Hank Lawson. What do you want? Now surely you'll remember me, ma'am. You ought to. I was a fellow your husband hitting the mouth his first day in town. I remember you. Now let me pass. Well, I ain't not being a miserable cuss letting you carry all of them heavy sacks. See, I'll help you some. Please. You could just put them in the wagon for you. Oh. Oh, that was mighty careless of me to slip plum out of my hand. I hoped there was nothing in their brain. Leave me alone, please. Well, now, Mrs. Peters, I don't know why you're upset. You know I wouldn't do nothing to harm a fine lady like you. Besides, your husband might try to give me another lesson in manners, and that scares me real bad. I just want to show you how much I learned.  Please. All we're going to do is just start you for home, Mrs. Peters. Untie them lines so we can face that thing down the street. Sure. Now, like I say, ma'am, I don't want you to fret. Stand aside, Twig. All right, ma'am. Hang on. Yeah! Yeah. She's all right, Matt. She's fine. There wasn't anything I could do. Those miserable, filthy beasts! Take it easy. Take it easy. What are you talking about, Matt? Those men should be... Oh, no, no, no. Matt did all he could. He even roughed them up a little on the way to jail. Oh. And then yesterday morning, the judge fined them and turned them loose. Find them? Probably all of 50 dollars. Kitty, be sensitive.  I'm sick of it. You have to go by it, Kitty, whether it seems right or not. I don't have to do nothing. Kitty, don't talk like that. There's a man. I'd shoot him in the belly. Oh, no, no, Kitty. Oh, leave me alone. Both of you. Kitty, look, Kitty.  She needs another woman, huh?  Well, what are you going to do? There's nothing more I can do, officially. No, just that's right. Look, Doc, I want you to keep Nina in your office. You can keep an eye on her there. Cuff will be back in a few days. And then, and then you will tell him? Yeah. Yeah, then I'll tell him. I just got back. Witty Helgerson says there's been an accident. I should come see you. Well, uh, your wife was hurt bad, Cuff. She's better now, though. Where is she? She's up in Doc's office. Chester will show you. I know the way. It just makes me sick, Mr. Dillon. Yeah, he's likely been in a saddle all day riding to get back to her. Then he gets here and... How was she tonight? How she ate the supper Kitty brought over. That's more than she's done in a week.  Have you seen him around? Yes, sir. Him and Twig been hanging around the Longhorn. Hank asked me, was anybody looking for him? Then he laughed. Or what'd you say then? Nothing like he told me. I just walked on out. Yeah, good. Or do you figure Cuff will do, Mr. Dillon? I don't know. Cuff's so mild and quiet and all. But I got a feeling he'd be mighty mean if once he got right. I want to thank you, Marshal, for all you and Chester and Doc done for Nina. I'm sorry, Cuff. Now, I wonder if you'd hold my gun for me. What are you going to do? I'm going to look for Hank Lawson. And I'm going to mark him. Mark him good. That way somebody's going to get hurt. That's a fact, Marshal. Look, Cuff, I won't stand for a killing. Now, Nina's well enough to travel. You could start for Fort Wallace. We'd fix a bed and a wagon for you. I'm not going to start for Wallace, all right. But not until I've seen Hank Lawson. Well, will you hold my gun? Until you come back for it. Thank you. Cuff. Yeah? Chester and I were just talking about going up to Longhorn for a drink. We thought maybe we might walk with you. The company would be fine. But it's my deal. Sure.  But I see the Marshal come along so he wouldn't get hurt. I'm just here to see that no shooting starts, Hank. What's on your mind? Cuff. I left my gun at the Marshal's office.  Figure to take me with your fists? That's right. That boy's moved back, make a little room here. Oh, I thought my gun down. Chester, just so Hank's friends don't get too excited and maybe want to help him out, move down to the end of the bar. Yes, sir, Mr. Dillon. There'll be no gunplay here, Hank. What's between you and Cuff, you'll settle yourself. Right in here. That's good enough for me, Marshal. All right, little fella. Come and get it. Now I'm going to take you apart, Lawson. Bit by bit. That's the way you feel. Get up, Lawson. Hank, never mind, Marshal. He's going to fight with a knife. I'll fix me one, too. Now, Lawson, if you're going to fight to cut, fight or drop it, now get out of here. Because if I see you again before I leave, I'm going to finish what I started. If you're still alive, I ain't seen anything like that since I left Waco.  Thank you, Marshal. I figure I could use it. Because my wife and me's got a long ride ahead of us.

Wake up, wake up, wake up, it's the first of the month. Team keeping clean, what is going on? Us as Ravens fans, this ain't been a good start to the month. It wasn't a good ending to the month. So we're losing to the Chiefs, losing Mike McDonald. And we had another loss too. The hits just keep on coming for the Baltimore Ravens because somebody who a lot of people thought would end up stepping up into that role as defensive coordinator in Mike McDonald's place since he's gone on to coach the Seahawks and we always saw all the videos of him joining the Seahawks the whole staff in the building, clapping and stuff with Mike McDonald waving and smiling and all that. I'm like, man, that could have been us, man. Anyway, Danar Wilson, the Baltimore Ravens, their DB secondary cornerbacks coach, he is going to be coaching the Tennessee Titans. He's going to be their defensive coordinator now. So I guess they just love everything that they saw from the AFC North because they took Bingo's offensive coordinator, made him their head coach. They taken Raven's secondary coach, making him their defensive coordinator so that they just love the AFC North. But the Baltimore Ravens, they end up losing another one. But there's something else to think about with Mike McDonald leaving with Danar Wilson leaving and congratulations to both of them. Obviously, we hope that they have a lot of success and they continue to grow in their roles. But it can get a little bit worse for the Baltimore Ravens. And I'm going to explain that to you in a little bit first and foremost before we get into it. I appreciate y'all. I know a lot of people right now, they do not want to watch anything to do with the Baltimore Ravens. They don't want to consume any Baltimore Ravens content, but I appreciate y'all for sticking it out with us. We're going to get through this thing one way or another. One way or another, whatever the Ravens end up doing, hey, we still going to bring y'all that news and talk about it and break it all down. So I know whether some people like it or not, we still are going to be here. But I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Make sure you subscribe to the channel. I know it's rough right now. I know things are tough. As a Baltimore Ravens fans, we going through it. Going through it big time, but we going to get through it. I'll put it anyway. Subscribe to the channel and turn your notifications on so you do not miss any of these updates that I know y'all don't want to hear about. And also leave a like on the video because y'all be coming through and helping out the channel a lot. It goes a long way. Trust me, it really, really does. So Mike McDonald, he left. He is officially the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Donal Wilson, somebody who could possibly step up in his place, he left. He is the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans. But that could, there could be a trickle down effect because as you know, when a coach leaves, when the coach leaves the team, a lot of times what they'll do, they'll be like, hey, oh, I'll work with you at our previous team. Come through, come with me. Let me give you a promotion. Let me put you on too. Cause you worked so well with me at our previous place at our previous regime. I like your work. I know what you can do. I see your potential. Oh, I'm coming up. You coming up with me as well. It happens all the time. It happens in life, but it also happens in the NFL. As we know, hashtag hood, hardball. You know them hardballs, they put on all their people. But a lot of coaches do as well. But anyway, with Mike McDonald, and this came from somebody in Seattle who covers the Seahawks. He said that he's been hearing that with Mike McDonald, some names for his offensive coordinator position. One could be T. Martin. And for his defensive coordinator position, another could be Zachary Orr. And that would certainly be something because, again, Zachary Orr especially, he's somebody, I know Jeff Zribick mentioned it too, he's somebody that could be a candidate to be the defensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens. Obviously, he's been with the Baltimore Ravens through everything. And that would be another homegrown talent. He's somebody that obviously clicks with the players. He was a player. He was a good player too. With Zachary Orr, the Baltimore Ravens, he was a Baltimore Raven. He played, but unfortunately he had that neck injury. And I forget exactly how they found out that he had a neck injury that ended his career. But I do remember that it was probably like the best way that they could possibly find out because I believe he was like, I think he was like inactive for a game. I don't remember the story exactly how it went, but he was like inactive for a game or something. And then he was going to get a checkup and then they found it. And then it was just a good thing that they found it off the field than on the field because that could have been a whole lot worse. So it's nice, it's not nice that it happened, but it's nice the way that they found out about his career ending neck injury. But anyway, with him, he's been with the Ravens as a player and then they brought him on as a coach. And he just been working, working, working out last year, he coached the inside linebacker unit. So we'll see. So he could either get promoted with Mike McDonald and them Seahawks or he could get promoted with the Baltimore Raven. So we'll see because with Mike McDonald, he's the official coach of the Seattle Seahawks now, but he's going to want to be getting his staff together ASAP. He's going to want to knock all that out so he can have that ready and they can move forward because you got free, free agencies here. You might want to resize some of your own players. You might get rid of some of your own players, but free agency is going to be here before you know it. And then the draft is going to be here before you know it. So you're going to want to have your coaching staff in place as early as you possibly can. So you can start implementing everything into implementing your scheme, your style, setting the standard, all that good stuff. So whatever Mike McDonald is going to do, we're going to know very, very, very soon. So I would assume, I would have to assume that he's going to be taking some people from the Baltimore Ravens coaching staff along with him. Who that may be? Will it be a team on? I wouldn't be surprised. Wouldn't be surprised at all. Will it be a Zach Orr? Wouldn't be surprised. Another name that has been floating around with the Baltimore Ravens when it's come to a possible defensive coordinator position has been Anthony Weaver. Anthony Weaver, again, he's another person who played for the Ravens. Then he went through everything and then did some coaching over there with the Texans and came back to some coaching with the Ravens. And now he's up to possibly be a defensive coordinator with the Ravens, or he could go down the street to DC and go coach with the Commanders because they haven't filled their head coaching spot yet. That's still wide open. And this one coaching, that's the last open coaching spot left, I believe. And he's a candidate. He's a candidate, so we'll see. We'll see what happens with that. But he's somebody that could be in the mix as well. So, but think about this. This is really possible for the Baltimore Ravens. And of course you still got some more people in the building. But all those guys that we just mentioned, they could all be gone. Every last one of them could be gone. Every last one. Mike McDonald, he's gone. He could take T Martin. He could take Zachary Orr. Anthony Weaver could go coach the Washington Commanders. Denal Wilson, he's gone. He's gone with the Titans. So that's like a lot of people on your staff that are out of that. Again, this is why so many of us, and again, by the way the season was going, it seemed like it was going that way. But this is why so many of us were like, hey, Ravens gotta do it this year. They gotta get it done this year. Not to say that they won't have a chance in any other year, because that's one thing that I do not like hearing. And I disagree with it completely. Some people say, they're like, hey, this was Ravens' only chance to get to the Super Bowl. It's not. And it wasn't. Ravens will still have a chance to get to the Super Bowl. They have a chance every year, especially if you got Lamar at quarterback. You're always gonna have a chance against anybody. But the way that things were set up this year, it was right there for the taking. It was right there for the taking. And the way that the Ravens were this year, it seemed like they were taking all the opportunity. They were taking advantage of every situation put in front of them. But then it came to the Chiefs and they said, you know what, everything that's worked, get it out of here, throw it out the window. We ain't doing that. Why don't we do stuff that works? What's the point? So it is what it is. But anyway, that trickle down effect, it could definitely impact the Baltimore Ravens big time. So this is something that we know and we will know more of in the next couple of days really. Because again, Mike McDonald, now he's official, he gonna start bringing his staff. Actually, you know what? Today's Monday, I'm tripping. See, they, I'm tripping. Ravens got my head all messed up, man. Today's Thursday, I said today's Monday. Today's Thursday. So with Mike McDonald, we may get announcements like sooner than later. Like maybe even buy it today or tomorrow about his staff, guys that he may be bringing on. At the latest buy next week, at the very latest buy next week. But they could start doing that right now. Cause again, usually new head coaches, they wanna get on that quick. They wanna start building their staff up and whatnot. So they have a clear direction of where their team is gonna be going and what they're gonna be doing on offense, defense, special teams and everything else, of course. But we'll see how it goes, man. There's been a lot of interesting conversations when it's come to a Mike McDonald. I know one of my guys today is talking to him on Twitter and he said that he felt like Ravens Flock were overrated, Mike McDonald. And I said, ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Overrated, no, Mike, no. The guy had a really good defense last year and a historically great defense this year. Historically great defense this year. Especially in this day and age of football where everything is about offense, all the rules, everything is about benefiting the offense, getting more points. The fact that this guy, his team, his defense, led the league in sex, led the league in points for a game. And they stepped up in the biggest moments, overrated, and I said, no, no, we not overrated him. But what I did appreciate about my guy who said that is that we had some nice back and forth and there was no disrespect at all. And I always appreciate that. That is my favorite thing about having conversations with people that if you say something, I say something, and we don't agree, we got different viewpoints on it, we could still maintain the respect, we could still, there's still all love. And that's exactly what it was today. And those are my favorite conversations to have with anybody. When people wanna get disrespectful and all that, it ain't a conversation, there ain't nothing left to be said, nothing left to be said. But if people can go back and forth, I share what I gotta say, I listen to you, see what you gotta say. Oh, okay, well, I never thought about it like that. Oh, okay, well, I ain't think about it well. Okay, well, I disagree with that, but I still respect you. That's what it's about at the beginning and the end of the day. I love y'all, Team Keep It Clean. I appreciate y'all, Team Keep It Clean. I know things are rough right now, Team Keep It Clean, but it's all good, Team Keep It Clean. I see y'all real soon.


This is Tim here again to tell you how junction the little elf was no feet three and the other folks from Holiday House saved Christmas We had finally discovered Santa's reindeer who had been in prison in the ice cream palace and we're leading them up to the tunnel to set them free However, we got lost in the maze of tunnels and took the wrong turning and it ended up in a passage Which led us right into the ice cream's tower room Restored the silver screen a magic mirror Of course as soon as we discovered our mistake We started to turn the reindeer around to go back to passage and try to find a door leading out of the palace But we heard somebody coming now in just a minute. I'll tell you what happened next Jump was peeking out of Mary holiday's pocket and urging everyone to hurry All of a sudden they heard slow footsteps echoing down the passage Someone was coming toward us The only way to escape was to hurry back into the ice cream's tower room as fast as we could and try to find a place to hide My goodness jump jump she's probably coming to the tower room Maybe jump jump now, please don't talk anymore just curl up in my pocket and don't peek out Oh Dear oh dear the ice cream's near There's only one way we can go into the tower room Come along hot you partly come along poet bring the reindeer in quickly Tower room will be our doom. We can't get out for help to shout never mind poured Do what Mary holiday says in another minute whoever's coming along that passage We'll turn the corner and see us if we stand there arguing Don't don't close the door Archie pockley. Remember how loud it squeaked the first time we opened it. It might give us away Where can we hide my holiday? There's seven reindeer and five of us. There aren't any doors and a closet. We're all in the room But I'm in the gloom. We just got to hide from whoever's outside. Oh Look look look behind this great silver screen. There's space large enough for us all to hide. I think Come on Whatever reindeer's do if the ice cream catches us now we might never get out of here behind this screen will not be seen Icequails coming there a holiday. We've hidden just in time. Oh, I hope she doesn't look behind the screen Santa Claus hot that a foolish old man Do think that he expected merry holiday a silly clown Sleepy slim a dreaming poet and a little elf only three inches tall to rescue his Dear well, I've beaten him now What's this the tower door is standing open? I thought I closed it when I left Oh, well, never mind Just here at the doll. She thinks for us Do you think we could all slip out the door and get away now? I wish we could Tim because if the ice cream discovers that those are just dolls that look like us out there in front of the palace gates Then she'll begin searching for us and be sure to find our hiding place Let's be brisk and take the risk glide over the floor and through the door. Ah, yes I say let's be on our way Just remember that squeaky door. She'd be certain to hear it. That's right Tim.   I'm afraid The cold ice Queen cannot be seen but let's hear her vow. Let's listen now Until I give the magic word which will free you from enchantment The ice Queen's coming back into the tower room now.

I'm about to sneeze Go ahead. Go ahead. Don't sneeze now. My nose is tickled by Blitzen's ear I can't hold out. I greatly fear. Oh, please. Please don't sneeze poor. She's almost gone. She's at the door What was that is someone in my tower room is someone hiding here speaker Oh My so I have no time now to bother with mice I'll send some of the snow elves up to set a trap. I was sure we're finished that time Excuse me, please. I had to sneeze.  Maybe we can get away now that the ice Queens left the tower room for a while We better hurry because when the ice Queen discovers the reindeer are missing she will know something's gone wrong Silly of me not to realize that there is another way out of this room. I don't see it There's just one door just one door, but how about the balcony window? It's a way up in the air merry holiday We can never jump down from the balcony.
