It is an honor to be here this morning to greet you and Talk about some issues and challenges favorite facing our communities across America. I Never thought I would live to see the day that so much is going on to destroy the family, to destroy the church, and I'm concerned. I want to share with you, since you were not there last night, I'm going to do a quick overview of how I got where I am. I was born in the founder of the Church of God in Christ. My mother was a member of his local church when I was born.

And at that time, we were known as a sanctified church emotional people and We didn't have a lot of educated people in our church at that time Now kojic is the church of God and Christ is worldwide six million members on frontline everywhere, but at that time we were not. And if you remember the sanctified church people laughed at you because of the emotional part of the service. Not only did the children laugh, the teachers laugh, but I tell that story to say that although that was true, I got so many sound teachings in that church that believed that right was right and wrong was wrong. And I live on those principles today. And so that is important to me.

And we were really taught that we were the right people of the earth. Nobody was right but us. I remember as a little boy going to one of my teachers feeling One of my teachers died when I was in the fifth grade at sixth grade We went to his funeral in his church. His funeral was at a Baptist Church right adjacent our church And I said there's a little boy and said oh boy this man died and he wasn't saved because he was Baptist. We thought like that.

And he should have joined our church. I tell that story to say that I see that philosophy and that chain of thought today in the political system. If you're not a Democrat, it's almost like the Democrat party is gone. It's right. I was given an award in March 3rd, I believe it was, on the House floor of the state of Tennessee and the legislature and the House of Representatives, an Outstanding Leadership Award for my work in leadership and for the family.

What I did know after I received the award, it was a moving experience. They stood and clapped for me coming in, stood and clapped for my family and I going out. But later that day, a politician from Memphis, a black representative, got up on the floor and condemned me because I had campaigned for Mr. Trump. Because if you are not a Democrat, you're wrong, you're Senate.

And that is bad for our country. That is bad. So I'm going to go back in history and take a few minutes to tell you how this got like this. Because Let me tell you something. I was in the civil rights movement.

I marched in Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville was one of the leading cities for the civil rights movement. I don't know if you know that because of the universities there. We had Fish University. We had Meharry Medical School, which there were only two black medical schools in the country I was Howard and my Harry and you had Fisk University was an outstanding University the at Tennessee State American Baptist where John Lewis went And we led the way for a lot of the civil rights activities in this country.

And as Brother Ford said, and thank you, Pastor Ford, for your kindness, as he said, I said, and I spoke in Washington, we marched for miles, and we did not march one foot, one yard, one mile for a man to marry a man and a woman to marry a woman. We marched because we were denied certain rights because of the color of our skin, because we were black. And it was felt that we didn't have the ability that white people had. So we marched for rights. And I marched that my children would be able to enjoy the fruits of this country and live the American dream, get a job as any person if they were qualified.

That's why we marched. We did not march for all of this stuff that they have put on the backs of the civil rights movement. But what they have done is they have capitalized on the civil rights movement. They have patterned the civil rights movement to do what they want. So no, we did not march for that.

We just wanted the right to go to school. Now, when I finished high school, there was only one college, state college, in the state that I could go to, And that was Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee. I lived in Memphis and went to school in Nashville because you could not go to the other schools. So we wanted rights, equal rights, to go to any school. So that was why we marched.

Now let's come up to—and I'm going to be brief this morning—let's come up to the welfare system. For years, I literally wondered what happened to black America. For years, I wondered what happened behind the marches that we did in Nashville and going to school. We dressed well. We carried ourselves well with dignity in class.

And we dressed according to a certain code. You dress nice. You dress up. And you carry yourself with dignity in class. And for years, I would say to our friends who were in the civil rights movement, what happened?

That so many of our young people now have lost that. And I'm black, I can say it. I can say it because it's true. So many of our people now don't have the desire to present themselves in a certain way in public. They just don't have it.

And so we wondered, we wondered, we talked about it. And in December of 2015, I was speaking with a friend of mine who was a historian and told him that, I said, that President Johnson had a good idea with the Great Society but he had unexpected consequences those were my words he said bill you got it all wrong President Johnson did what he meant to do. He knew if you give black people welfare and give them something that they would come to the Democrat party. And his words were, President Johnson's words were, and then he told me where to research it. President Johnson's words were, Give a N-I-G-G-E-R a little bit and you'll have a Democrat for 200 years.

That was what he said. So the Great Society was not about giving you equal rights. It was about taking the shackles off of your feet and your hands and putting them on your mind. And he was very successful. Then something else happened during that time, and I've researched this, I've studied it.

Dr. King was in jail. And they put him where he could not contact anybody, in a dungeon like. And his family, they were worried about him. And President then candidate John Kennedy who was running for president called Coretta Scott King and talked to her extensively and said he would do all he could to help Dr.

King get out of jail. Mr. Nixon who was also running for president Refused to say anything and his words while have nothing to say about that Negro preacher And it went over the news That John Kennedy was talking to mrs. King and making an effort to get help for Dr. King.

They could not communicate with him. He was in the basement somewhere by himself. And Robert Kennedy, the brother, Thought it was going to hurt the election for John Kennedy To be in communication with mrs. King and became known publicly but John Kennedy took a chance and that turned the vote of the black people to the Democrats instead of the Republicans. Blacks had been Democrats for years, had been Republicans for years.

And Daddy King said, if Mr. Kennedy cares about my family, I will vote Democrat. I'll vote for Mr. Kennedy. It is said, in some writings, you might read it, that is the thing that caused Kennedy to get a razor thin victory over Nixon.

Now the joke is, between the blacks and the dead people in Chicago cemeteries that voted, it caused Kennedy to become president. It was a razor thin election. But that turned the tide, and Nixon lost the election, and Kennedy won. So as you know, President Kennedy gets killed and Lyndon Johnson became the president. And you know the history, I'm not telling you anything you don't know Lyndon Johnson was not liked by a lot of the so-called classy people He was like a joke he was a southerner with a smart politician and Johnson had to find a way to appease the public and went over the public because blacks were demonstrating mr.

Johnson terribly and then the Vietnam War was on the rise. So Mr. Johnson came up with a way to win the blacks over as Mrs. King had done and he started the great society to save black people. But his plans were to destroy the black family, and he knew it.

So what they did was put black women on welfare. They had 100, 000 social workers to go throughout America and talk black women into getting on welfare. And blacks are very proud people. We were very proud people. We took pride in who we were and earned it our way.

And they got a lot of kickback from the black women. They didn't want welfare. And they came back and called them in training and said, tell them it's for the children. And we love our children. And black women gave in.

But this was a deal. There could be no father in the home. So they sent inspectors out. And if a man's clothes were in the closet shoes under the bed they took them off of welfare. So it put the father out of the home and that destroyed the black family and I didn't know it.

And today since I just found out I spent a lot of my time dealing with that we have a book coming out apology in waiting because I want the Democrat Party to apologize for what they have done to the black community. We are proud people, we are hard-working people. I told last night the first eight years of my life I Lived in two rooms with outside toilet No lights and outside water first eight years of my life My mother's sister died and she took it her children my sister. I laughed about it now. How did eight people live in two rooms?

But we were taught to work. We were taught to work. I worked since I was in the third grade. When I got to high school, my father had a stroke. I was never able to work again.

And my older sister and I got full-time jobs and helped to take care of the family because We were taught to work. We never got welfare. We were taught to work, earn it. And today at my age, at seven, eight years old, I work 15 hours a day, six days a week, because work is in me. My work is my play.

I met the builder of the Holiday Inn. Kim Wilsom founded the Holiday Inn. Johnson, I forget his first name, but Johnson was a builder. They formed the Holiday Inn franchise in Memphis, Tennessee. I'd been to the first Holiday Inn.

And he wrote a book, My Work is My Play. So my work is my play. I'm working, but I enjoy everything I do. I write, I speak, I plan. My work is my play.

That's my hobby My work is my play So because I was taught to work my father Took me with him The Place where he worked, which was Memphis Financial Factory, went on strike for wages. The union, on the line, on the picket line, we worked. They walked out. And the people who walked out, they fired them. My father rented a horse and a wagon for three dollars a day and we sold vegetables all over the city.

I was right with them and I tried to decipher what is the difference and Young black people now, what is the difference? What is the difference and I'm guilty and that I have a four or five year old and you tend to spoil them we give them too much we earn out and I do give mine too much I'm guilty but I was taught to work, to get everything we got. We worked. We bought our shoes for school. And now everything, many things our young people get, they get it from the welfare system.

And when they talk about the Republicans of the conservatives They use it. We don't want them because they're gonna take Wow It's not yours Nothing is free You pay one way or the other. Nothing is free. When you get a welfare check, when you get food stamps, and you know what, go to the grocery store. You can just about tell the people that are on food stamps.

They have a basket full of junk. The most expensive cut of meat. They don't know how to budget. They don't care about it. Why?

Because it's not their money. And you'll see them selling food stamps Calling you to the side You can get it for half off when they were given the actual stamps. They sell them to you for half price our third That has destroyed our country now, it's not just black people. The immigrants, the people that come to this country and take and take and take. And Our country's in debt.

You can't give it all away. We should be producing citizens. So my message to you today is look around you and seek to see what we can change. How can we change it? We look at fatherhood.

I Know some people personally that you will know and I will not call their names the household name That did great works preachers Business people who did great works really did great work. Excuse me, but they lost their children One of the greatest men I know that I patterned at them daughter died from an overdose The son wasn't worth two dead flies Left them millions He was a great man. He did great works some of them. I could call their names, you know them, but they lost their children. Why did they lose their children?

Why? So I had to go back over my life and say what was it that my father did? What he really doing we got to think about these things Because it's a crisis in America I Said all I could say my father did, he kept me with him. When he got that horse and wagon, I rode over the city with him. I was there with him.

He never spanked me one time. Now I'm not, I can't claim that. I can't claim that. He was easily spoken but I knew he cared. What are we going to do to change America?

Are we going to lose America? If you want to know the manifesto of the homosexual agenda, come to my website and we'll email it to you. They plan to make homosexuality a part of the system. Can you believe that? Training children in preschool that it's okay if you're bored to be a little girl.

It's not okay. And where is the church? Where is the church? When, and another important thing I think that I bring in here is I learned something. I learned to know God's voice, know it, because there are many voices out there.

Hear God's voice and obey. And I'm here today because I heard God's voice. I did not know George Moore a few years ago, I did not know him, but I felt led to call him and fly down and meet him. So I called and made arrangements to come and meet him. And we later gave him the Martin Luther King letter from a Birmingham jail award for standing out and he said I'm going to be in Texas in Houston Texas the doctors invited me down there to speak why don't you join me and I did by going to Houston I met some great people who have been great to us to our ministry.

They've been unbelievable great that probably without their help this ministry could not have sustained Because it takes a lot of money to run this ministry, a lot of money. All because I obey God to come down and meet Judge Moore. And I'm here today, and I'm coming back to rally with Judge Moore to help him get elected. It's time we put people in office that stand for truth at all costs. Going back to President Johnson, in the great society, they were in Chicago, New York, and other parts of the country and built tall buildings apartment buildings for poor people they could live in a pattern after the rich people that had these tall apartment buildings.

And do you know what they did with those buildings? Most of them, they had to implode. They had to blow them up. You know why? Because they did not think of the social part of those apartments.

You can take a person and Put them in a million dollar suite And if he's not socialized for that suite He won't be able to maintain They had drugs Murders and everything you can imagine Misguided. Money does not solve all problems. It takes teaching and caring and leadership. That leadership has to come from all of us. And I'm happy this morning to see black and whites in this crowd.

I spoke at, I prayed at a function they had in Las Vegas for President Trump's 100-day tenure as a president of the United States. He gave a big affair and in my prayer I said I thank God for America. Where I was born in segregation and being denied because of the goodness of the people of America, of all people, I can now enjoy all the fruits of America. It's a great country. This is a great country.

One time the whites treated us pretty bad. I know all about it. I lived it. I'm seven, eight years old. I lived through it.

But look at the love that we have today that we can sit down and have fellowship together. That we can appreciate each other and appreciate the differences that's all because of the love of God and the greatness of this country this is the greatest country in the world and don't let anybody fool you and don't let anybody change it and if the church does not speak up it would be changed I understand that this gay agenda has been on the drawing board for 20 30 years they've been working at it what they did let me tell you exactly what they did They took the civil rights movement and patterned after And it took a black president to take it to the level this at now and You heard brother Ford said I was on all the TV stations all of them Because I felt led I knew When President Obama was first elected that he was for gay marriage. I knew that from inside information They told me exactly what he was going to do but my promise to them was I would not divulge it until he came out and said it. So I held it in me for four years that he was for gay marriage And the day he announced he was for it, I went on television the very next week condemning him.

And that's the reason I was on all those TV stations. I went against the president. Any kind of threats you can get, I got them. The hate mail, you just would not believe it. But you must be willing, if you fall for anything, that's what you'll get.

I decided my life, if that's what it took, I would stand for something. So I stood against Mr. Obama. And it took a black president to do it. It took a black president to do it.

And he did a lot of damage to this country the damage that President Obama did Some of it can never be undone because out now Gay marriage for him to stand besides sports figures and Call this player this ballplayer his hero because he was homosexual That's his hero Look at these children in here What kind of world they gonna go up in? And I can tell you and I close with this, I can tell you this, I see similarities in segregation, the civil rights movement, and what's happening now. There is a segment of our society, such as Obama and Hillary Clinton would have been worse. Thank you, God, she was not elected. That tend to want to take this country back and make it homosexual no vote no values no morals and the church Must be bold and stand up like the black people stood up against segregation Put your life on the line Many people died for the civil rights movement Many people were hurt Many people were fired from their jobs Unless the church does the same thing America is doomed Who is the voice?

To save America from this damn nation and do you know and dr. King was not the first one we had been fighting civil rights for two hundred some years he wasn't the first one but it was his timing Where would black people to be today if Dr. King and those civil rights leaders had not stood up? No, do you know that none of them thought they would be live to lead to the to be 40 years old? Did you know that?

Did you know dr. King and those men thought they would be killed before they were 40 They were willing to die now unless the church Take on this ungodly agenda And be willing to stand up all these beautiful buildings won't mean a thing All of our services our Services our priests and servants and singing won't mean a thing because our children will be destroyed our society will be destroyed unless we the church stand up so I've tried to address to you how blacks got in the condition we in and it's a sad thing I'm black and if people find out I'm Republican I don't go along with the liberal agenda. It's like I'm a sinner. Like I told you when I grew up as a boy, the Sanctified folks thought they were the whole people in the world and I believed it Now they're making us How can you take little children and indoctrinate them then? It's okay take a little boy in time.

It's okay to be a girl and even giving children surgery this is a society that's gone wrong it's on the wrong side of the street I said on Fox News that John Lewis, and I admire the man, I will say nothing negative, because he gave his life. He was willing to. He was a great leader in Nashville. But he's on the wrong side of history. Now we have taken lawlessness and endorsed it.

It's OK to be lawless. Refused to attend the inauguration of the president, his highest position in the land. I look at CNN and all they do, their whole news, is to crucify President Trump. So ladies and gentlemen, I hope by my coming here from Las Vegas and sharing with you that I can stir you up as Paul wrote Timothy when he was in prison and stirred the gift that's in you, that you received by the laying on of my hands. The other day, they had some passage in the White House they laid their hands on Mr.

Trump and I saw him seeing in where they made mockery of it. Well I believe in laying on the hands. It's scriptural But they made a mockery of it. They are trying to close down Christianity and pushing Islam. Now let's the church get as bold as the black civil rights leaders were.

You can forget it, but I encourage you today to join hands with your brothers and sisters of any color, any race, anywhere, and work to save America. God bless America.
