About this listen

Trey Knowles' “Royal Blood” is my kind of sharp, bold stand-up comedy where I take a direct look at the British royal family. I say it like this: if I, an indigenous man, walked up to the palace door and knocked, do you really think the royal family would wash my feet? So why do people listen to them like they carry some kind of holy authority?

Did Yehua come dressed in fine clothes living in luxury? No. The ones wearing expensive garments and living in palaces are the kings of this world. I joke with the crowd and tell them, break away from the spell, because she has deceived many nations, and a lot of people on this planet are suffering because of it.

In the routine I make the point that the monarchy looks like a kingdom, but it's not the kingdom of God. It borrows from religion, traditions, and the Bible, but the true spirit of God isn't there. I call it what it is—a system that people follow because of the crown and the image.

Then I compare that with the real messengers in the scriptures, like John the Baptist, a man who lived simply and spoke truth without a palace behind him. I don't hold back in the set. I show the royal family as something people treat like spiritual authority, when in reality it looks more like sorcery and illusion than true leadership from God.
