Transcript
00:00Now, Tina, about a year ago, I think you had said something like, let's give Trump a chance.
00:09Do you still stand by that?
00:10And what are your thoughts on him?
00:11Let me tell you what I really said.
00:12Tell me what you said.
00:13What I really said is, if those of us who are calling ourselves Christians, I wrote
00:17that letter out of place of frustration from what I was hearing at churches across America.
00:21And I'm thinking, this man is not our God.
00:23And God has given us instruction for this man, which is to pray for him.
00:27So me saying I stand with him means I pray for him.
00:30Even now, I disagree with almost every decision a man is making, but I still pray for him
00:34because he took an oath to represent this country.
00:37And we can say he's not my president.
00:38He's still the president of America.
00:39And God gave us a responsibility to pray for him.
00:42So I pray that someone in his cabinet, someone that's in that on Capitol Hill can have some
00:47kind of influence with him to hold this man responsible and accountable for the decision
00:51that he made to run and represent the country and make decisions that's for the greater good
00:57of the country, because I don't think that that's what he's doing right now.
00:59So my position still is to pray for him, to hope for the best, to resist and be angry
01:04and all of that kind of stuff.
01:05That ain't helping nobody.
01:06So I'm not going to be mad at the president and be mad at everybody else.
01:09I'm going to fight the devil, who's the real enemy behind everybody that's acting a fool.
01:12And I'm going to pray for those that's acting the fool that hopefully God would help the
01:16fool to come out of him so they can make better decisions.
01:18I hope so.
01:18I know, Erica, you have a morning show.
01:20I'm going to add him to the prayer list.
01:21Yeah.
01:22I'm going to fight and resist.
01:23I'm going to add him to the prayer list.
01:24I'm praying for impeachment.
01:25That's what I'm praying for.
01:26I just don't think he's equipped for the job.
01:28Amen.
01:28I don't think he's the guy at all.
01:30And I think his actions over the last months have shown us that he's not equipped for this
01:36job.
01:36And unfortunately, he's in that position.
01:38So we have to make sure that we're smart as Americans and use our voices and vote and
01:42make changes in an area where it really counts the most.
