He is very well known in this city for his totally outlandish thoughts.
I will tell you what he basically does. He makes a living by making some very rich folks feel less guilty about their excessive wealth. Jesus has given them wealth because he sees the good in them... and on and on.

The rich having as much chance as going to heaven as a camel thru the eye of a needle stuff blah blah blah has these people petrified. The end of the world crap book is making the man millions also. He knows how to make money.
I will tell you this though. He is gifted. This is another guy who has his brain directly connected to his mouth. He has an incredibly good vocabulary and is an extraordinary speaker. They guy writes almost nothing down and starts with a basic idea, expands upon it, then brings it to a tumultuous ending. It is indeed quite amazing. Some of these preachers just meander thru a sermon with no real direction sweatin and spittin, hanky out drenched, run into a corner, give me an AMEN.
Hagee is an artist. As a speaker he is on the level of Clinton or Blair. About as good as I have seen and heard. He can flat out manipulate a crowd that does not listen carefully. The substance is pure hogwash.
