News on Youtube Nov 6 2018

well the midterm elections are coming up tomorrow and one topic of discussion is

universal health care but does this thing actually work I brought a very

special guest to discuss the topic what is everybody this is Chris from the

rewired salt where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution any

field new to my channel my channel is all about mental health so I make a ton

of videos to try to help you improve your mental and emotional well-being but

also to help you be more aware of what's going on especially when it comes to

healthcare and YouTube channel so go check it out although she talks about

all things mental health anyway she's from the UK so I was like hey girl like

we're having a point of debate for years now is universal health care in the

United States with some questions about universal mental health care in the UK

so before I let Kay take it away I just want to talk about some things because

again I just want you to go out and vote if you're watching this video you care

about mental health care like go out and vote support whatever you think is best

I don't care who you vote for but go vote but on my channel I just want to

kind of make you aware of some stuff going on in the United States when it

comes to mental healthcare so something to take into consideration is the

Affordable Care Act okay so the Affordable Care Act is is amazing like

there are some things that might need to be tweaked with it but with the

Affordable Care Act they were quiet they were quiet

insurance companies to cover mental health treatment as well as addiction

recovery treatment now depending on what insurance plan you have and how much

they cover that's a whole different story but there's a lot of people who

are trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act but we need to realize that mental

health care is part of that so if that gets repealed there's a chance

no mental healthcare oh no something to take into consideration - is the

out-of-pocket costs like me personally I have had really good insurance for the

past few years really really good insurance I still have a very large

doesn't always you know sometimes I can't even do it like so when it comes

to physical healthcare like I couldn't even go you know do my sleep study

because it would have cost about two thousand dollars out-of-pocket so I'm

just trying to lose weight to work on my sleep anyways we've talked about you

know price availability so anyways I just want to talk a little bit with the

mental healthcare system in the UK she also works in mental health care

treatment so she's a discusses Lowe and welcome so Chris has kindly asked me to

guest on his channel to talk about universal healthcare so I'm gonna be

talking about my experiences with the NHS I'm sure you've heard of it

something that we have in the UK I also work for the NHS so I kind of have

experience kind of being a service user but they call that or patient and

working for the NHS in inpatient acute services so yeah if you don't know who I

am hi my name is Kay I'm also known as

bipolar pug here on YouTube and I make videos all about mental health bipolar

but other stuff as well so Chris has got some questions he wants me to answer

about universal health care and what it's like is any good hmm yeah so chris

says he basically only has three questions which is good um okay so

question number one is how long does it take to see a therapist or psychologist

now this is a really tricky question because it really really varies in yet

in the NHS I've known people to wait over a year first psychological

treatment some people have left some people wait up to four years for

psychological treatment and some of the extreme cases yeah I feel like within

the NHS within adult services it is quite difficult to get psychological

therapies and the kind of therapies that they focus on a kind of short form

therapies like CBT called behavioural therapy which can be really

helpful for some but sometimes they only offer ten sessions sometimes they only

offer phone calls within like the well-being service enough of

psychological therapy that they offer is cat therapy which again is quite a short

form therapy with in child and adolescent mental health I know they

offer some more long-form therapies because there's a lot of focus on early

intervention family therapy is quite popular but a lot of the times the only

things that they will offer is very short structured forms of therapy no

kind of long term person-centered therapy I tried to get therapy for quite

a long time if my bipolar disorder I've had CBT on the NHS and I found that it

was helpful but it kind of didn't really address anything underneath the surface

so I actually went private and I'm currently getting a CT therapy which is

acceptance and commitment therapy and it has changed my world like it's changed

the way that I view my behaviors my thoughts my feelings kind of being able

to observe situations kind of outside of that sphere rather than directly kind of

acting on how I'm thinking and how I'm feeling and I've been getting that

therapy for over a year now and I'm still getting that therapy and that's

not something that the NHS offer however it really depends sometimes on where you

live on what kind of therapies that you get and how long you get them for so

it's kind of yeah it's kind of tricky I know a lot of the time for PTSD therapy

and EMDR which is the eye rapid motion bill you the one where you kind of

relive traumatic experiences and kind of work through them I don't think that's

available in the NHS something that they're really quite hot on at the

moment is DBT therapy however they don't offer that independently they tend to

offer something called a steps group so that's a group program of DBT therapy

and a lot of people with you know emotional dysregulation EPD BPD what

they call it in America have really responded to that but

one-to-one therapy zuv Annie NHS are quite hard to come by with any NHS they

try to do a lot of groups so like psycho-educational kind of stuff rather

than one-to-one therapy a lot the time but you know someone else could come and

say look I have a long form of therapy within the NHS but that's not something

that I really hear about a lot yeah that was a very long-winded answer to that

question but I hope that's helpful okay so number two what's the admissions

process like for emergency mental healthcare again I I don't like to slag

off the NHS because the NHS is a really valuable thing and without being

hospitalized numerous times throughout the years because my bipolar disorder I

would not be alive or it wouldn't be able to afford treatment might be in

like ridiculous amounts of debt so it has worked for me however the admissions

process for emergency mental health care is really tricky so the first point of

call would be to go to A&E or the emergency room and you'll wait in a

really stressful environment for a really long time one of my experiences

as I waited 12 hours to be seen by a mental health professional and they have

something called the mental health liaison teams so they will decide

whether people need to see crisis teams which are amazing it's an amazing thing

that we have of any NHS where people come to our homes every day and checking

on us it's almost like a hospital on wheels where you have professionals come

and chat to you and assess your risk the fingers of an NHS is they try to promote

the least restrictive interventions so they don't like hospitalizing people you

have to be very very very very unwell to be hospitalized

so the first port of call would be to go to the any wait a really long time to be

assessed sometimes they recommend hospitalization sometimes they detain

people under the Mental Health Act which basically means people can be treated in

hospital against their will and they're deprived of their liberty a lot of the

time with an adult mental health care people go informally especially people

that have gone through you know depression suicidal stuff it's not great

and it is used as a very last resort people

being treated in hospital within emergencies I think a lot of the time

with the NHS there just isn't enough staff and resources to go around to help

people that are in crisis people do fall through the cracks and people do die so

but again you know on the other side of it a lot of people are caught by that

safety net and a lot of people are supported by crisis teams and they get

them out that crisis phase and they don't have to go to hospital which is

amazing because you know if you think about it you know if you were sectioned

today think about what you would lose you know your home maybe your pets being

able to see your friends and family what about your job you know so kind of

promoting least restrictive interventions are really great but yeah

like it's it's not amazing emergency mental health care and I think it's the

same anywhere really it's not something that we've really perfected so yeah

that's kind of really how it works okay so the final question is oh boy

would you rather have America's health care system brackets feel free to laugh

your ass off when answering us no the short answer to this is no although I've

had to go private to get my kind of therapy needs map the NHS has met a lot

of my emergency healthcare needs being hospitalized community psychiatric

nurses you know crisis teams all that kind of stuff I would be in so much debt

ridiculous amounts of debt for the amount of times that I've been

hospitalized over the years and yeah the NHS is flawed underfunded in a lot of

ways but it has provided a safety net for a lot of people that have been in

crisis it is not a completely holistic rounded you know care where everybody's

needs are met especially fair pew techniques but it has saved a lot of

lives and I am very passionate about the NHS and I'm very protective about the

NHS but I'm also very aware that the NHS is very flawed and needs more money

basically it just needs more money but so does the NHS as a whole but yeah

sometimes I think mental health isn't as addressed as importantly as some of the

other issues but there is a service there and yeah I'm really I'm really

passionate about it and I think as time goes on and especially in the last 10

years mental health is more of a prevalent thing among a lot of people

and yeah I think it's really important that we promote the least restrictive

practices for people so not putting people in hospital all the time unless

they absolutely positively need it however we are failing a lot of people

who are kind of slipping through the net if that makes sense so yeah I hope that

was helpful my name is Kay again hi I'm also known

as bipolar Park Hill and YouTube please subscribe to me if you'd like to I make

regular videos on mental health and very passionate about it and yeah I hope you

like this little video so yeah take care thank you so much for sharing your

experience with the UK's mental healthcare because these are often you

know what people debate about it you know the long waits and all this and and

yeah it's true it's true like there are longer waits but when I was talking to

Kay after after I watch the video and we were just deeming on Twitter like

something something that's important to realize is is that even in the UK

they're putting more they're allocating more money to physical health care than

mental health care right so one of the reasons I have this channel one of the

reasons I try to get you to help spread awareness is that we need to let people

know like this is a big deal right and we also need to understand there's a lot

of medical conditions like physical conditions that are triggered by mental

health issues for example heart problems based on stress and anxiety you know

other medical issues like more heart issues I just know someone my heart

issues were based on things like depression anxiety like I know and all

of that so if we start putting more funding towards mental health care

you'll start to see physical health problems going down like when I was

talking about in my video about universal basic income like that's

something that we need to realize is that hospitalizations and health issues

decrease as you start to treat mental health right now what argument that came

up in the universal basic income video was where we gonna get the money where

we gonna get money you know you probably can guess but I will say this like one

of the weakest arguments out there is where we gotta find the money for it

like if you look if you look I'm just throwing this out there if you look at

the amount of money we're spending on offensive Wars and our military

especially compared to any other nation right what I would say is like nobody

ever asked where the money's coming from we decided to go to you know do these

offensive Wars or put trillions of dollars into the military nobody even

asks where that money's gonna come from so I just want you to think about that

where's the money gonna come from right but the other thing that I want to talk

about is is okay was talking about the debt right like I don't know about you

but for me being a massive amounts of debt or not being able to for things can

also trigger more anxiety and more depression that's something to consider

okay so she did talk about how there are some long legs

sometimes it takes a lot sometimes the emergency mental health care isn't the

best but I also want you to take into consideration that that Kate also said

she gets private mental health care so by having universal health care because

one of the other arguments is that it would be taking away people's options

right people wouldn't have options but if you look at what the uk's doing

people still have the options so if you don't want to do the you know the

government-funded route you could still go see and I don't know how much this is

converted but anyways like if you think about what a lot of people are paying

for therapy sessions here in the United States with health insurance

it's almost as much so just take that stuff in consideration all right so I

just wanted to bring this topic we're coming over but the midterms are

November 6 there tomorrow and even if you're watching this video afterwards

it's just something to think about okay if you care about mental health need to

understand how who we elect affects our mental health alright baby weighs let me

know down in down in the comments below what are your thoughts about universal

health care mental health treatment if you're from another country that has

universal health care like how much of this was similar to caves experience in

the UK is it different in other places let us know down in the comments below

okay anyways that's all I got for year with this video if you like this video

please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure to subscribe and bring that

notification belt and a huge thank you to everybody spoiling the tale of our

patriarchy and make sure you go subscribe to K bi-polar park by clicking

Vladimir Putin's Remarks on Military Technology Cooperation with Foreign States - Duration: 3:53.

Good afternoon, colleagues,

In May this year we marked the 65th anniversary of military technology cooperation with foreign states. I would like to use the occasion of our meeting to once again congratulate our weapon designers and producers, the engineers, workers and veterans of the Russian defence industry on this date.

It is thanks to their selfless labour that Russia has not only preserved but also strengthened its leading position on the global arms market, primarily in the high-tech sector, amid tough competition.

Relying on our rich experience in this sphere, we must continue to consistently build up our military technology cooperation with foreign states.

Our capabilities in the military technical sphere must be used to modernise and upgrade all our industries, to support our science and to create a powerful technological potential for the country's dynamic development.

Colleagues, We have several issues on the agenda of today's meeting of the Commission for Military Technology Cooperation with Foreign States. We will also discuss measures to develop military technology cooperation.

In recent years, Russia's export of military products has been at a consistently high level, around $15 billion.

Russian manufacturers have the advantage of an unfailingly high quality of products, which have no analogue in their combat and technical characteristics. Russia values ​​its reputation of being a conscientious and responsible participant in military technology cooperation.

We strictly observe international norms and principles in this area. We supply weapons and military equipment solely in the interests of security, defence and anti-terrorism efforts.

In each case, we thoroughly assess the situation and try to predict the developments in the specific region. No bilateral contracts are ever targeted against third countries, against their security interests.

We will certainly continue to closely follow the trends of the global arms market, to offer our partners new flexible and convenient forms of cooperation.

This is all the more important in the current conditions, when our competitors often resort to unfair methods such as putting pressure on or blackmailing customers, also through the use of political sanctions, so as to force them to buy their military equipment, even though it is more expensive and inferior to our products in quality.

A new factor is the growing interest from foreign customers in modern research and development and design projects, as well as in setting up military products manufacturing at home.

We certainly try to consider their needs. Over the past five years, the volume of joint R&D projects to upgrade or develop new types of weapons has increased by 35 percent.

At the same time, the changing conditions in which we have to trade in military equipment require some adjustment of existing approaches and development of a new integrated strategy for the foreseeable future. In a word, in military technology cooperation, we have both serious achievements and an understanding of the large tasks facing us.

Today we will discuss these specific issues in the most important area of ​​our cooperation and make the necessary decisions.

These 4 states could see major marijuana reform this midterm election - Duration: 3:17.

Marijuana is on the ballot this midterm election.

There's no longer a question of if. It is a question of when.

Those who do not evolve will lose.

Voters in four states are considering initiatives that could legalize marijuana in some form.

We're seeing the the reform movement reaching into some of the most traditionally

oppositional areas of this country.

More Americans support marijuana's legalization now than ever before, according to a recent Gallup poll.

31 states and DC already legalized weed to some degree, but that number could grow come November 6th.

Here's a look at what marijuana initiatives are at play in, North Dakota, Missouri, Utah and Michigan.

North Dakota will vote to legalize recreational marijuana.

If "Measure 3" passed, it would have a significant impact on the justice system,

removing all criminal and civil penalties for the possession, consumption and cultivation of marijuana.

It would also direct the Attorney General to automatically expunge all nonviolent marijuana charges

on individual records within 60 days of enactment.

That could affect up to 117,000 people in the state.

It would be the most comprehensive, restorative justice ballot initiative ever passed.

The "show me-state" is considering three medical marijuana proposals: two constitutional amendments and one statutory amendment.

Because there are three different proposals, the vote could split.

In that case, the proposal with the most "yes" votes wins,

Much attention is being paid to a fierce debate between the Mormon Church and marijuana advocates in Utah.

But after reaching a compromise in October, voters will decide "Proposition 2,"

which would put in place a medical marijuana program.

Marijuana is increasingly becoming one of the central pillars of our political conversation

conversation when we're talking about lawmakers both for the federal and state house levels

Medical marijuana was legalized in Michigan a decade ago, but now the state will vote on "Proposal One,"

which would regulate cannabis similarly to alcohol.

It would include aspects for commercialization through micro-licensing to incentivize small businesses and entrepreneurs

to be able to share in the economic benefit to legalization.

The legislation calls for a 10% tax on weed that would help fund schools and roads.

But one organization believes marijuana's legalization will do more harm than good.

Why not take a look at what's really gonna happen if this were passed and that is a lot more people,

a lot more folks who drive on those roads are gonna be in danger and are gonna need help long term.

Opposition isn't backing down even though current polling suggests initiative will pass.

In the last quarter alone Healthy and Productive Michigan funneled more than $1 million against the ballot.

Pray for Great Change in the United States - Duration: 24:03.

(Music)

GEORGE: This is pastor George Pearsons and I want to

welcome you today to this special, special broadcast of

our Believer's Voice of Victory entitled 'Faith For Our Nation.'

I'm joined with Buddy Pilgrim here on the set and Buddy

welcome. BUDDY: Thank you George. GEORGE: We have just had

our election time and now this week we're just encouraging

people in the good things that God has and how to keep engaged

and connected. So I'm so glad that you're with us, that we're

able to talk about these things. BUDDY: Thank you, it's an

encouragement to be here. It's so important that we continue to

stand firm in the things of faith regardless of the outcome

of any election, of course we're recording this a few days before

the elections actually take place. GEORGE: Right. Right.

BUDDY: So you and I don't know what transpired on

Tuesday of this week. GEORGE: That's right. BUDDY: How many

races were settled. How many are held over and they're still

counting votes. We don't know. But you know what we do know.

Jesus is Lord. GEORGE: Exactly right. You took the words right

out of my mouth. Jesus is Lord over the United States of

America. BUDDY: Amen. GEORGE: And you know there is great

change that is coming. And we want to show you ... we're

showing various clips to really encourage you about our nation,

and this particular one, this was a Word from the Lord to

brother Copeland about great change. Great change coming to

our nation. And my goodness have we've seen great change - I've

got the transcript of it right here. And I was just reading it

the other day. And seeing, seeing what has taken place from

the time he gave this in 2016, this was July, before the

election. And the things that have taken place, the new

freedoms that we've experienced. And what's taking place in our

nation. GEORGE: Take a look at this and then Buddy and I will

be right back with you. BUDDY: Yes.

(Music)

KENNETH: Pray! Whole fast before me. Great

changes are coming in the United States. For I,

again I have heard the prayers of my people. And I am

moving now, healing this land sayeth the Lord. Things are

changing. Some things are going to happen between now and

election time. Pay attention! Pay attention to the Spirit.

Pray in the Spirit. Hold fasts, to the truths not the news

broadcasts. I said change is coming. And I'm not talking

about just the natural flow of things there going to be changes

in political parties there's going to be changes here and

changes there and nothing is like it looks now. The awakening

is here. It is here. It ain't coming, it is here. And the more

you pray, the more it'll increase. I'm not done with the

United States. This is my country. I built it, I bought

and paid for it. It is mine. GEORGE: What a stunning Word.

BUDDY: Yes. GEORGE: You know we were on the broadcast with Paula

White Cain the last two weeks. And I was ... we were privy to

some information that she had from the White House, of course

she's the spiritual advisor to the President. BUDDY: Yes.

GEORGE: And she's with him quite a bit. And she gets her daily

reports and the things that are accomplished. The things that

have been accomplished in this administration. And Buddy there

is so much that has taken place. BUDDY: You don't hear about it

in the news. GEORGE: You really don't. BUDDY: No, no. GEORGE:

You really don't. And this word that brother Copeland brought,

it means so much more to us now than ever, that great change has

come to our nation. BUDDY: And it's funny, I'm sitting here

thinking about this of course we said we're recording this just a

few days before the elections, GEORGE: Right. BUDDY: so we

don't know the results. Of course brother Copeland recorded

that in 2016, long before the election. GEORGE: Long before

the election took place. BUDDY: He knew the results, so. GEORGE:

He really did, by the Spirit of God. BUDDY: It was a prophetic

word. GEORGE: Yeah. BUDDY: About the course of this nation, and

it's come true. We've seen tremendous changes, positive

changes, since 2016. GEORGE: Right. BUDDY: And we've got to

continue those changes. And every single person of faith out

there has to remain diligent. You have to remain faithful. In

every aspect of your faith. Not just political but in all the

ways that we walk with the Lord. GEORGE: Right. BUDDY: But so

often it's easy to set aside the political. Well that's an

earthly thing, well you heard the old saying, you can get so

spiritually minding, you're of no earthly good. I don't know if

I can fully get that - if I'm that spiritually minded

hopefully I'll still be some earthly good. GEORGE: Yeah,

right. BUDDY: But I understand the point they're trying to make

when they say that. There's faith without works is dead,

there are things we've gotta do. And there are things that we

need to continue to do, to keep ourselves educated on the issues

and involved in the issues, regardless of the outcome of any

specific election. GEORGE: Now considering one of the issues

that we're talking about, and I want you to address this on the

broadcast, you again Buddy is so involved politically, I mean

you're, you have helped campaigns. Ted Cruz's campaign.

You're right there on the front. BUDDY: Yeah. GEORGE: When it

comes to that and you are also in Washington DC with a group of

ministers talking about this Pain-Capable bill. Explain that

to us. And that's - this administration is pro-life.

BUDDY: I was. In September of 2017 I went to the White House

with a group of Evangelical leaders, pastors, ministers and

strong Christian business persons. And we met with the

Trump administration to discuss what's called the Pain-Capable

bill. It gets that name because the bill defines, or recognizes,

that science tells us that a baby that's in the womb that is

20 weeks or more of gestational age, can feel pain just like you

and I do. And that's really pushing it, actually, probably

not as far as it needs to be. GEORGE: Right. BUDDY: I think

they can feel pain probably well before 20 weeks. But it's easy

to document that. So this is a bill that's was proposed before

congress at that time, that would outlaw abortions for any

baby that is 20 weeks or more old in gestation. GEORGE: Yes.

BUDDY: We went to the White House, September 2017, we met

with the Trump administration, I will tell you this, the Trump

administration is filled with people who are pro-life. GEORGE:

That's wonderful. BUDDY: There must have been 15 of them that

met with us that day, and they came in person after person.

Everyone of them committed to this. GEORGE: It's tremendous.

BUDDY: And here's what they said, they said if you can get

the Congress to pass this bill, we will commit to you that

President Trump will sign it, because they're already talked

to the President about it. So we left the White House that day

and we went to the Capitol Hill. We met with senators and we met

with congressmen. GEORGE: Yes. BUDDY: We had lunch with them

there and then we visited with them about this. And we got a

commitment from many members of the House of Representatives

that they would pass that bill. Within two weeks of when we were

there, when the President made his commitment that if you'll

will pass it, I'll sign it. The House of Representatives passed

the Pain-Capable bill. Now let me tell you ... GEORGE: Praise

God. BUDDY: How important the Pain-Capable bill is. There are

I believe 5000, I've heard different numbers, but it's

between fore and five thousand babies, every month that are

killed in the womb, that are 20 weeks or more old. There was one

on the news just a couple of weeks ago. That was born at 22

weeks of age. Now under the - without the Pain-Capable bill

that mother could have chosen to have abort it, and let me just

put it more plainly, to have killed that child at 22 weeks of

age rather than letting it live. So this happens all the time.

Where babies that young are born, they live and in fact it

was in the news because it was being released from the NICU--

so we were there, the President promised to sign

it, if the House and the Senate would pass it and the House

passed it within two weeks. It went to the Senate and then it

just sat there. BUDDY: And the reason it sat there is because

under the rules of the Senate you have to have 60 votes to get

a bill to the floor to vote on it. GEORGE: Right. BUDDY: Now 51

votes, 51 out of a 100 will pass it, but you got to have 60 to

get a vote on it. It's called cloture. Cloture is nothing more

than an agreement to end debate on a topic. GEORGE: Okay. BUDDY:

And there were, there's not one single Democrat that would vote

for cloture. Because they were concerned if they voted to end

debate that that bill would pass, and frankly it probably

would of passed. And if it had passed, that was September of

last year, 4000 babies, 5000 babies a month ever since then

would of been saved. Now for that reason I believe we need to

do away with the filibuster we need to away the cloture bid.

GEORGE: Sure, sure. BUDDY: Because there may come a time, I

don't - we don't know what the results were this past Tuesday

whether they're now 60 Republicans that are gonna be

put in office, GEORGE: Right. BUDDY: in January or whether we

still have 51 or 53 or 54 or whatever the number is. I

believe you need to do away with that kind of bill. With cloture

and with the 60 vote majority for this reason. Some people

argue, "I don't know if that's politically wise." GEORGE: Yeah.

BUDDY: Well how many babies lives is it worth expending to

do something that's politically wise. None. GEORGE: Well let's

put it this way. While you were just talking, I was figuring

this out, 5000 babies average per month, that's a 160 roughly

a 167 babies a day. 167 babies a day. And every day that goes by,

that we delay this or it gets held up. BUDDY: That's right.

GEORGE: That's a travesty. BUDDY: That's right, even ... so

whether we've got a 60 vote Republican majority right now or

whether we got 52 and we need to do away with cloture or whatever

the number is. GEORGE: Yes. BUDDY: It's that of number

babies every day. So here's what you need to do. Stay engaged,

call your senator, tell your senator get that bill to the

floor, and vote on it so that President Trump can sign it,

because there is - it's not worth one babies life to gain a

political advantage on the other party by keeping cloture. It's

outrageous. GEORGE: That's ridiculous. And you know the

Word is very clear about this abortion issue, I was reading a

scripture before we went on the air to you, it's Psalm 78 and

let me read down into the part I wanna get to it says, "Give ear

O my people to my law, incline your ears to the words of my

mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable I will utter dark

sayings of old. Which have been ... which we have heard and

known and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from

their children, showing to the generation to come the praises

of the Lord and it's strength and his wonderful works which he

has done." Now listen, "For he's established the testimony in

Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our

fathers that they should make them know to their children.

That the generation to come might know them even the

children which should be born." BUDDY: Should be. GEORGE: "Who

shall arise and declare them to their children. That they might

set their hope in God and not forget the works of our God but

to keep his commandments." BUDDY: Wow. GEORGE: That

statement there, that they, that the generation to come might

know them, even the children which should be born. BUDDY: I

never heard that before you read it. GEORGE: The children which

should be born. BUDDY: So, that's why we have to stay

engaged even after the election. Because we can continue to

influence things like this. We'll continue to talk about

issues like this throughout the rest of this week. GEORGE: And

the power of staying engaged, and the power of prayer. BUDDY:

Yeah. GEORGE: And praying for our nation. We have to continue

to pray for our nation. BUDDY: Yes. GEORGE: No matter who is in

office and what is going on. Prayer is the foundation to

every successful endeavor. And we must pray for our nation.

Listen to this Word from the Lord through brother Copeland

about praying for the nation. KENNETH: If my people, which are

called by my name, shall humble themselves in pray and seek my

face, and turn or repent from their wicked ways then I will

hear from heaven, I will forgive their sin, I will heal their

land. If my people called by my name, which in the Old Covenant

is 10. 10 people called by my name. 10 righteous people could

of saved Sodom and Gomorrah! But you're the righteousness of

God and you've got access to the whole throne. And it makes a

difference. Now in the Old Covenant my people called by my

name shall humble themselves in pray, seek my face, turn from

their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven I'll forgive their

sin I will heal their land and that in the Old Covenant takes

10. In the New Covenant it takes two. Two. This is a better

Covenant established on better promises and I want you to know

in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth we can get on

our face, we can pray in the Spirit, we can take a stand, we

can worship God until this thing turns around. Hallelujah.

GEORGE: We can, we can pray until this thing turns around.

BUDDY: Absolutely. GEORGE: Buddy I had the opportunity, earlier

this year, to go to Washington Terri and I went to the

President's prayer breakfast. And one of

the things that I got out of that prayer breakfast

is seeing all of the politicians who are

believers. There's a lot. BUDDY: There are a lot. GEORGE: There

are a lot of praying believers who are in office. BUDDY: Yes.

GEORGE: In our nation right now. I mean you know some of them.

BUDDY: I know many of them. Yes. GEORGE: There are acquaintances

of yours and that you know for a fact that these people pray.

BUDDY: The course of this nation's been changed by these

people that are finally having the option to stand up in

prayer, publicly. GEORGE: Yeah. BUDDY: There several things that

are going on now George, there's a pastor I know that leads a

Bible study and a prayer meeting in the Capitol Building every

single week. GEORGE: Wow. BUDDY: The White House now has nine

members, I believe it is, of the President's cabinet and senior

administrative staff that have a weekly Bible study in the White

House. There's a pastor out of California he's been involved

politically for many, many years. His names Jim Garlow.

Jim's a very good friend of mine. He's good friend of

brother Capeland's. GEORGE: Right. BUDDY: We ran into him

in Washington DC recently, brother Copeland and I did. He's

just started a pray vigil in the State Department, and he said,

"Let me tell you, that is a place that needs prayer," he

said, "You talk about a demon filled place, there's some

people in the State Department that need to be prayed for

because there are demonic forces that come against this nation,

come against the nation of Israel whose an ally of ours.

GEORGE: Right. BUDDY: Who we stand firm beside and stand firm

with. We need prayer taking place in every one of those

places. So we got it going on in White House, we've got it going

on in Capitol Hill we've got it going on in the State

Department." GEORGE: Yes we do. BUDDY: We need to get it going

on in every part of the government. GEORGE: And it's

growing it's part of this awakening. The great awaking

that's taking place. It's growing more and more and more.

BUDDY: Yes. GEORGE: And we're seeing people in prominent

positions, again I refer to Christians United for Israel,

that John Hagee organization. We were - it was Tuesday morning we

had the Wednesday evening ... the Monday evening night to

honor Israel, and then Tuesday morning is when we heard form

all of the senators and the representatives. Then we would

be given our talking points and then head to the Hill, later

that day. Well one senator after another, after another

representative and you can tell, you can really tell, if they're

doing this because their gonna get more votes or ... you can

really tell the sincerity of individuals when you listen to

them. But all of these people, all of these people that came

and spoke that day to us they were sincere, they were praying

people, praying believers they talked about what they do in

their pray times in the morning. So if we have indeed people that

are praying in Washington right now, and I happen to know of a

particular woman who is a tremendous preacher, who is in

the face of the President himself. Paula White Cain.

BUDDY: Absolutely. GEORGE: Who is right there with the

President praying. Praying with the President. BUDDY: Yes.

GEORGE: Praying and she - and I mean this is no secret, she

talked about it last week on the broadcast. BUDDY: Yes. GEORGE:

She is so connected to that family. She's known them for 18

years. BUDDY: You know she told us about Trump, before he was

President Trump, just Mr. Trump. Calling her up to Trump Tower to

pray about his decision whether or not to run for President.

Said they prayed for five or six hours. GEORGE: Six hours. BUDDY:

Six hours. GEORGE: She brought a group of ministers with her.

BUDDY: Yes. GEORGE: And prayed, they prayed for six hours.

BUDDY: Yes. GEORGE: I remember when candidate Trump invited a

group of ministers to Trump Tower, now

were you with brother Copeland that day?

BUDDY: Not the first time, not in Trump

Tower, no sir. GEORGE: Okay. And Paula was there. BUDDY: Yes.

GEORGE: And she asked brother Copeland to lay his hand on

President, on candidate Trump at the time. And what he was ...

Kenneth shares this, that he was actually praying out and he

didn't realize he was doing this as if he were already President.

BUDDY: Yeah. GEORGE: And even at that time brother Copeland was

still making decisions and so forth, about the elections and

all that. But he's laying hands on him as if he's already the

President. BUDDY: Yes. GEORGE: There's really something to say

about a President who embraces and welcomes prayer. BUDDY:

That's right. GEORGE: I was thinking about when Billy

Graham, the first President that he went to see with his team,

was Harry Truman. And so he went to Harry Truman's office, this

is in the 40's, late 40's when Billy Graham was just really

starting out in the massive ministry that he had. And so he

writes in his book, he talked about, being in the President's

office and they said to the President, "Mr. President could

we pray for you?" And Harry Truman sat back and he said,

"Well I guess it won't hurt." Well where I'm talking

about a President who is calling for prayer. BUDDY: Yes. GEORGE:

I mean we're beyond, "I guess it won't hurt." We're beyond that

place of no prayer whatsoever, we're beyond that place. BUDDY:

Absolutely. GEORGE: Of prayer being restricted and kept out.

You've got to know this, prayer is in the White House. Prayer is

in the State Department. Prayer is in the Executive Offices.

BUDDY: You know Paula White Cain told us time after time after

time where President Trump, since he's been elected, has

called on her to come in and pray about something. GEORGE:

Yeah. BUDDY: To be a part of a meeting that they were having

there and led a prayer. Time after time. And the other thing

that I was there for, I wasn't at the Trump Tower prior to the

election, but just recently President Trump held the first

ever, in the history of this nation what was called 'A

Celebration of Evangelical Leadership.' And he invited

about a 100 of us, who he defied as Evangelical leaders across

the nation. GEORGE: Yes, well show pictures of this. What

you're talking about. BUDDY: To have what's essentially a state

dinner at the White House. It was held in the state dining

room, President Trump and first lady Melania were the host of

it. Vice President Pence was there, members of the cabinet

were there and there was 100 Evangelical leaders from the ...

around the country. And I just think that's so special that

this wasn't defined as a faith based dinner. Because there been

faith based events at the White House before. And that meant

multi faith, multi cultural, so you got to have a Hindu and a

Buddhist and a Muslim and a Christian and a Jew, all of

these different faiths organizations. GEORGE: Right.

BUDDY: He said, "I'm going to celebrate Evangelical leadership

in this country." He invited us there, he spoke a word or two,

Paula prayed over the meal. And then you know what he did? He

sat back and he said, "Tell you what, I want to hear from you.

So I'm going to turn the floor to each of you." GEORGE: He's a

listener. BUDDY: So for President to turn the floor over

to a room full of preachers, it's a dangerous thing. GEORGE:

Yeah. BUDDY: It's a pretty significant. And he let us talk.

And share with him what's important to us. And one of the

things, Paula knows him much better than I do, I only met him

maybe three or four times. She said he's a really good

listener. And he's interested in hearing from people. GEORGE:

Right. BUDDY: So we've got a man in the White House today that

wants to hear from us. So one of the things you need to pray for,

is pray for those of us who are very politically involved and

have access to Presidents or senators or congressmen more

directly than just calling their office on the phone. That we

would be continually given open doors that no person would

interfere with that because historically that's happened

where Presidents who were elected by the Evangelical base

had a gate keeper that cut us off once they got in office. So

you pray that we would continually have access and be

able to speak in to these positions of power and

influence. GEORGE: Now in the last minute that we have, let me

have the last word on this one. BUDDY: Okay. GEORGE: I really

believe this is from the Lord, to all of us quit your griping.

Seriously quit your griping about our President. He's our

President. He's the man that's in that office right now. And we

have respect for him, honor for him, in the same way that we

prayed for Mr. Obama and for Mr. Bush and all of those. We pray

for our President. And I just sense there's a lot of

Christians out there, and you've just paying way too much

attention to the news. And that word that brother Copeland gave

little while ago, quit watching the news. Quit watching the

news. Your not getting anything from them. All they're

interested in is ratings and money. They sit around in their

editorial tables and they plot. And they figure out how can we

create the most drama. If we got something going on let's create

a graphic for it, with some really dramatic music that will

really get people to watch us. That's what that's all about.

You need to listen to the Lord. And we need to pray over the

President and we'll come back in just a moment and that's

exactly what we'll do. Buddy and I will be right back.

ANNOUNCER: We hope you enjoyed today's teaching from Kenneth

Copeland Ministries. And remember Jesus is Lord.
