The NXR Podcast - CN Weekly - Peter Thiel, AI, & The AntiChrist

00:00:00.000 You're an investor in AI. You're, you know, you're deeply invested in Palantir, in military technology, in technologies of surveillance and technologies of warfare and so on. Right.

00:00:12.920 And it just seems to me that when you tell me a story about the Antichrist coming to power and using the fear of technological change to sort of impose order on the world, I feel like that Antichrist would maybe be using the tools that you were building, right?

00:00:34.660 Look, there are all these different scenarios. I obviously don't think that that's what I'm doing.

00:00:40.820 you would prefer the human race to endure, right?

00:00:45.300 You're hesitating.

00:00:46.780 Yes?

00:00:47.620 I don't know.

00:00:48.300 I would...

00:00:50.080 I would...

00:00:52.000 This is a long hesitation.

00:00:54.080 This is a long hesitation.

00:00:55.300 There's so many questions in place for this.

00:00:56.520 Should the human race survive?

00:01:00.960 Yes.

00:01:01.700 Okay.

00:01:01.900 But I also would...

00:01:05.900 But I also would like us to radically solve these problems. 0.87

00:01:11.380 And so, you know, it's always, I don't know, you know, yeah, transhumanism.

00:01:19.220 Billionaire investor Peter Thiel reportedly moved his family from the U.S. to Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires,

00:01:25.100 as a refugee from high taxes, political turmoil, and potential catastrophes like nuclear war and an AI meltdown.

00:01:32.600 Sources told the paper that Teal made the move due to concerns about the political direction of the U.S.

00:01:37.520 Not least of Teal's concerns is the possibility of nuclear warfare in the Northern Hemisphere,

00:01:42.380 making a relatively far-flung corner of South America an appealing option, the Times reported.

00:01:47.580 Other members of the global elite, like Teal buddy Martin Varsovsky, are of the same mind, according to the article.

00:01:53.300 The moment China takes Taiwan or Russia takes Lithuania, I'm in Buenos Aires.

00:01:58.580 Varsavsky, a Spanish-Argentine tech entrepreneur, was quoted as saying,

00:02:02.460 For 2,000 years, Christians have wondered about the Antichrist. Would he be a despotic king,

00:02:09.280 a charming politician perhaps, or a tyrant who demands absolute fidelity and worship?

00:02:16.180 Well, today, some of the most powerful men in the world are asking the very same questions.

00:02:21.180 But they are not pastors or theologians or even philosophers.

00:02:26.660 They are tech billionaires, venture capitalists, and the architects of artificial intelligence.

00:02:33.880 Tech billionaire Peter Thiel has spent the last several years warning that the greatest threat facing humanity may not be nuclear war, climate change, or artificial intelligence,

00:02:45.620 but the rise of what Christian theology has long called the Antichrist, a global system promising

00:02:53.720 peace, safety, and stability in exchange for worship. And he's not alone. Across Silicon

00:03:01.380 Valley, there is a strange fascination with the end of the world. Some fear a super-intelligent

00:03:08.200 AI, some fear global collapse, some fear technological stagnation, and some fear humanity

00:03:15.660 itself. See, these men spend their days building machines they believe could surpass human

00:03:22.260 intelligence, redesigning society through algorithms, funding life extension technologies,

00:03:28.940 and searching for ways to transcend biological limitations. They speak of creating digital

00:03:36.520 minds and synthetic consciousness, entire civilizations governed by artificial intelligence,

00:03:44.100 a world where human beings are no longer the center of God's story. And yet, for how advanced

00:03:51.820 these people may be, many of them are simultaneously absolutely obsessed with

00:03:58.440 ancient religious warnings about false messiahs and the end of human history as we know it.

00:04:05.860 See, these individuals fear the Antichrist while ironically and simultaneously building

00:04:12.340 the very technologies that could make traditional concepts of humanity obsolete.

00:04:18.660 The irony is that these guys are essentially saying, I'm not the Antichrist, I promise.

00:04:24.400 In fact, I have great concerns and worries and fears about the Antichrist, but I acknowledge

00:04:30.060 that I'm building the exact system that would usher in his coming.

00:04:35.860 See, they worry about deception on a civilizational scale while creating systems capable of generating

00:04:43.420 endless realities, endless identities, and endless illusions.

00:04:48.700 They speak of existential risk while pursuing projects that previous generations would have

00:04:55.780 described as plain God.

00:04:58.420 For centuries, Christians imagined that the final rebellion against God arriving through

00:05:04.100 you know, antichrist figures, that it would be kings, armies, or empires. But what if modern

00:05:12.880 elites envision something even stranger? Not the destruction of humanity, but its replacement.

00:05:19.680 Not a world ruled by evil men, but a world where men are no longer even necessary. Tune in now as 0.70

00:05:28.540 we discuss Peter Thiel, artificial intelligence, Silicon Valley's fascination with the apocalypse,

00:05:34.640 and why some of the wealthiest and most influential people on God's green earth

00:05:40.780 seem to be utterly convinced that history is approaching a breaking point.

00:05:48.120 Radical Christian nationalist pastor, Joel Webin.

00:05:52.300 Joel Webin.

00:05:53.220 I'm going to talk about Joel Webin.

00:05:55.440 Joel Webin is an accident.

00:05:58.540 All right, well, welcome back to Christian Nationalism Weekly.

00:06:18.640 Today we're talking about Peter Thiel, AI, and the Antichrist.

00:06:22.660 Now, there's a simple way of thinking about it that we're going to come out of the gate

00:06:25.240 And we're going to say, Peter Thiel thinks AI is the Antichrist, and here's why it's wrong.

00:06:30.240 But his view of it is actually pretty complex, and it's worth discussing because this is where the mindset of these Silicon Valley billionaires, these tech entrepreneurs, and these transhumanists, which he has some overlap in, that's what they're thinking about.

00:06:41.820 Actually, right now in Silicon Valley, also in New York, New York Times read an article on this.

00:06:45.940 A lot of these guys are going back to church.

00:06:47.740 Church is the hot place to be, honestly, on a Sunday morning.

00:06:50.500 And so these guys are going back to church, but they're not going back to church and encountering

00:06:54.860 a very scripturally driven approach to Christianity.

00:06:57.980 What you're really finding is it's Christianity melded and blended with a lot of the philosophy

00:07:03.640 of the day, blended with, you could think of when Paul talks about the wisdom and the

00:07:08.800 knowledge of the Greeks that they thought very highly of.

00:07:11.340 It's Christianity, some of the terms, some of the labels, the cool parts of it, Armageddon,

00:07:15.960 the Antichrist, blended with your Gerard, blended with your Hegel, your Derrida, your philosophy to

00:07:21.720 sound cool and approachable, but also bringing in some of these older thoughts that people are going

00:07:26.500 back and returning to. And Peter Thiel is no exception to this. Peter Thiel actually calls

00:07:30.600 himself a small O Orthodox Christian. He's a very private man, so it's not known, and it's probably

00:07:35.660 unlikely that he attends any type of formal church, that he would call himself a member specifically

00:07:40.400 of a church or specifically a Protestant. But he has dealt over and over and over again in his

00:07:45.000 career with Christian ideas of original sin, of Christ, of salvation, of false gods, false messiahs,

00:07:51.660 and everything like that. Now, a little bit of background that is absolutely essential to set

00:07:55.620 the stage. Peter Thiel is married to another man, and that is sin, that is sodomy, and it will send

00:08:02.260 you to hell. 1 Corinthians 6, 9 says, do not be deceived, because some people will be deceived 0.79

00:08:07.880 into thinking, yeah, I've got this, but I'm really a pretty good person in these other ways. I go to

00:08:12.360 church every Sunday, do not be deceived. The adulterer, the drunkard, the reviler, and the 0.95

00:08:17.400 homosexual will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. So unless Peter Thiel repents of homosexuality, 1.00

00:08:24.180 leaves his quote-unquote husband, puts that aside, he will not enter the kingdom of heaven,

00:08:29.060 no matter how many lectures he gives on the Antichrist and talks about false salvation.

00:08:33.700 Right now, a lot of families are trying to eat healthier. I know that my family is trying to do

00:08:38.020 this as well. But when you look at the prices of truly grass-fed pasture-raised meat, it feels

00:08:44.720 impossible. That's why I want to tell you about our sponsor, Wild Pastures. Wild Pastures works

00:08:50.340 with over 100 American family farms to deliver 100% grass-fed beef, truly pasture-raised chicken

00:08:58.600 and pork, and wild-caught seafood directly to your front door. And unlike a lot of these big

00:09:04.640 meat delivery companies, their beef is raised right here in the good old U.S. of A. No imported

00:09:10.980 beef from overseas. Their animals are rotationally grazed, non-GMO, raised without antibiotics or

00:09:18.680 hormones. And the farms focus on regenerative agriculture that actually restores the land

00:09:25.660 instead of destroying it. And here's the best part. They've made this actually affordable. In

00:09:31.840 many cases, their products are 25 to 40% less than what you'd expect to pay for this kind of

00:09:38.860 quality. So if you want cleaner meat, better sourcing, and you want to support America's

00:09:44.140 farmers, then go and check out Wild Pastures. You can go to wildpastures.com forward slash NXR.

00:10:05.200 So that out of the way.

00:10:06.680 Now, to his credit, and this is where he's a little bit different,

00:10:09.700 he doesn't make it a central part of his identity.

00:10:11.480 And if you watch interviews with him, we've talked about this before,

00:10:14.400 homosexuality is probably a complex set of behaviors that are a response to trauma. 1.00

00:10:19.420 Gay people, they reproduce. 0.89

00:10:21.240 It's just, it's not in the bedroom. 1.00

00:10:22.540 It's through abuse. 0.99

00:10:24.040 Young men are abused and they in turn become gay men 0.99

00:10:27.640 who statistically abuse other men. 0.94

00:10:31.100 And so if you watch Peter Thiel and his mannerisms and everything he does,

00:10:34.440 I think this is a young man who at some point in his life suffered trauma.

00:10:37.420 And that came out in the sinful, decidedly sinful response of,

00:10:41.680 I'm going to be attracted to and marry, quote-unquote marry, another man. 0.99

00:10:46.220 So he is a homosexual. He is a sodomite. 1.00

00:10:48.740 Yes, so well said. So he is absolutely responsible. 0.99

00:10:51.800 It's not an excuse for sin. It's an explanation.

00:10:54.440 So most homosexuals are like vegetarians, right, or vegans or whatever. 0.99

00:10:59.240 It's like, how do you know if someone's a vegetarian? 0.93

00:11:01.960 They'll tell you, right, because they talk about it all the time.

00:11:04.700 How do you know if somebody is a homosexual? 0.76

00:11:07.400 Well, they'll tell you, especially this time of year. 0.86

00:11:09.560 We're in the month of June, which is white boy summer, but it used to be Pride Month. 0.59

00:11:15.660 Now, white boy summer has officially replaced Pride Month. 0.71

00:11:18.360 We're done with that. 1.00

00:11:20.000 But the point is this time of year and really any time out of the year, the homosexual, 0.99

00:11:26.980 the sodomite will let you know who they are. 1.00

00:11:31.200 They are flaunting their faggotry in front of your face 24 hours a day. 1.00

00:11:36.680 It's like the core piece of their identity. 1.00

00:11:40.040 They obsess about it and they want to make sure that they're able to flaunt that identity

00:11:44.580 in front of children at library story hour and in parades in the public square and all this.

00:11:50.200 Peter Thiel, to give him a little bit of credit, and for the record, not really a fan. You'll hear

00:11:55.560 that in this episode, but we want to give a fair shake, right? We don't want to just have a biased

00:12:00.500 view. One point against, 10 points probably, against Peter Thiel, he sodomizes other men.

00:12:10.000 Okay, not great. And the homosexual, the sodomite, will not inherit the kingdom of God, 1.00

00:12:14.320 whether you identify as a Christian or not. On the other end, for a homosexual, he is probably 1.00

00:12:22.760 one of the least flamboyant, least flaunting in your face obsessively all the time homosexual 0.98

00:12:28.980 that I've ever heard of. It is not a core piece of his identity that he's making much of every 0.91

00:12:35.920 chance that you get. He seems to be the kind of guy who is a homosexual by nature, and that is 0.77

00:12:42.460 not to absolve him of guilt, right? Because the whole impetus of the New Testament, the gospel 0.99

00:12:47.900 Christian message, is that you must be born again, that you need a new nature. If any man is in Christ

00:12:54.320 Jesus, he is a new creature with a new nature. So he needs a new nature and he does not have one. He

00:13:00.000 is not regenerate. He is not born again. He's not a Christian. He doesn't have a new heart. And in

00:13:04.720 his nature, he's almost homosexual. But in terms of his mind, his mind is depraved. It's all 1.00

00:13:11.580 unregenerate, non-Christians are, but it seems like he still has this overhanging sense of 0.96

00:13:17.380 guilt, like he's not proud of it. A lot of homosexuals are, right, Pride Month. They're 0.96

00:13:23.660 proud. He doesn't seem particularly proud. It seems as though it's something that he's bound to,

00:13:28.460 enslaved to, probably because, we're not saying this, this is alleged, this is just simply our

00:13:34.240 prediction. We're not saying this with authority that we know, but probably because he was abused.

00:13:41.200 There are some people who come into homosexuality because of a progression of sin.

00:13:45.920 Sin has a progression.

00:13:47.400 There are stages, right?

00:13:48.620 Nobody just wakes up one day and says, hey, I'm going to be a serial killer.

00:13:52.340 No, even that person who's a psychopath, how do they start?

00:13:55.580 Well, they start by burning ants in the backyard with a magnifying glass, and then they move 0.61

00:13:59.700 up to mice and squirrels and rabbits, and then they kill the neighbor's dog.

00:14:03.040 And then one day, all of a sudden, they're Jeffrey Dahmer.

00:14:06.600 There's a progression to sin.

00:14:08.280 and the Bible's clear about this, a progressive handing over to further and further degrees

00:14:14.040 of degradation. And so we know this. My point is that there are, I'd say it's probably about

00:14:21.460 a 50-50 split, about half of homosexual men, and I've heard their testimonies. I've talked to them.

00:14:26.100 I've counseled men like this. About half of them, they say, yeah, Joel, I just had so much sex 0.98

00:14:31.600 that eventually I just got tired of women. I wanted to go further and further and further, 1.00

00:14:37.100 more depraved, more degenerate, more perverse. And eventually, nobody can really satisfy a man 0.54

00:14:43.700 like a man. I had somebody, their testament, they told me that, word for word. And of course,

00:14:49.140 I responded by saying, first, that's disgusting. You are disgusting. And secondly, God loves you 1.00

00:14:54.720 and is ready to offer to you forgiveness for that disgusting sin if you would repent and believe

00:14:59.600 upon the Lord Jesus Christ. That's about half of the testimonies that I've experienced as a pastor

00:15:05.080 with homosexual men. Half of them are, I'm choosing this. I'm actively pursuing this. 1.00

00:15:10.900 I am graduating into further and further degrees of perversion. The other half though is some

00:15:18.220 perverts did this to me. And I do think that it's fair to say that Peter Thiel, and this is worth

00:15:23.620 mentioning as we set the stage and understanding who this guy really is. He is the latter, not the

00:15:28.380 former. He's a guy who had perverse things done by perverted men to him and therefore is still

00:15:34.760 that's not an excuse, but it is an explanation. It's still bound to this sin, guilty of this sin,

00:15:40.520 but not particularly proud or flaunting this sin. I just wanted to... And real quick, I just want to

00:15:45.180 add this because I don't think a lot of people will pick this up, but pride, you think about

00:15:50.580 the condition of pride as sin, it often is a recourse for shame. Like you ever think about

00:15:56.000 even in your own private life, you're very shameful about something. And then someone tells

00:16:00.420 you, well, actually, no, you can feel good about it. This is not your fault. In this weird way,

00:16:08.000 it's something you should be proud about. You're overcompensating. Exactly. So that is the

00:16:11.800 enticement for exactly the situation you lay out for those who are sexually abused tragically as

00:16:17.380 children. And they feel this guilt and the shame and they carry it through their adolescence into

00:16:22.840 adulthood. They're often rescinding from society. They're feeling bad in themselves. They struggle

00:16:28.080 to make friends and then someone comes along and says no you need to boldly proclaim that this is

00:16:34.600 what you are and this is exact this is your identity and you should feel no shame in that

00:16:38.940 and uh and this is um brought apart and parcel i think broader broadly this is happening in our

00:16:44.840 society with respect to pride it's everything that you ought to feel ashamed about you need to find

00:16:49.960 pride in your identity in that thing right and so and homosexuality obviously is the the 0.95

00:16:55.740 quintessential example of that happening. Good point. And the big point for this episode is just 1.00

00:17:00.980 to say, and we'll move on from that particular topic for our episode today, but the point is to

00:17:06.280 say, that seems to be the norm. Somebody has something they're innately ashamed of. They know,

00:17:11.660 right, because God has made us in his image and written his law on our hearts. We have a conscience

00:17:15.720 that testifies, even nature itself testifies, this is unnatural, this is wrong, this is perverse. And

00:17:21.200 So there's a shame that each person has attached to sin,

00:17:24.540 particularly this sin, which is so unnatural

00:17:27.220 that they feel an incessant need to overcompensate, right? 1.00

00:17:31.540 The lady doth protest too much.

00:17:35.080 And so they lean in, rather than being ashamed,

00:17:37.920 they lean in, I'm coming out, right? 1.00

00:17:40.640 Just super, super gay. 0.99

00:17:43.280 Whereas to his credit, Peter Thiel is gay. 0.99

00:17:47.940 He's holding onto that sin. 0.86

00:17:49.540 he's responsible, but he isn't really boasting and banging a drum about how cool that is. It's

00:17:56.620 like he knows there's something going on. He knows that it's wrong. Back to you.

00:18:01.040 And that matters because, ostensibly, he is on the right. He would generally be termed as a

00:18:05.420 conservative. Not many people remember this. Back in 1987, there was all these protests going on

00:18:10.060 on campuses. And at the time, Thiel is attending Stanford. And he actually founds the Stanford

00:18:14.720 review against all the students that are protesting the apartheid in South Africa.

00:18:19.620 So even all the way back then, he looked at social justice, he looked at student activism,

00:18:23.960 and he said, I'm going to found a paper to actually present a conservative, a right-wing

00:18:28.340 response to this.

00:18:29.400 Back in 2001, you may remember as well, after 9-11, Teal pens this incredible essay, this

00:18:34.340 very popular essay, Our Straussian Moment, invoking Leo Strauss in a neoconservative

00:18:38.660 angle.

00:18:39.220 How should we look at the future?

00:18:40.960 So we're not talking about a guy who marches in pride parades, who donates to Act Blue.

00:18:44.720 I mean, we're talking to the guy who we've talked about many times at this point, the largest Senate donation in history.

00:18:50.100 The most anyone has ever given to a Senate campaign was Peter Thiel to the vice president of the United States, J.D. Vance.

00:18:56.480 So Peter Thiel is ostensibly on the right wing side of things.

00:18:59.740 Now, again, on the side of ethics, on the side of morality and Christianity, we have our disagreements with him, of course.

00:19:05.660 But this is a guy, theoretically, in our wheelhouse.

00:19:08.520 That's right wing.

00:19:09.220 That's how he's thought of.

00:19:10.540 Now, when he gets to the Antichrist, Peter Thiel, he just held a series of four lectures

00:19:14.380 that were off the record.

00:19:15.420 There was no recording or transcribing aloud on the Antichrist.

00:19:19.100 And to understand what he's getting at when he describes the Antichrist and the system

00:19:22.980 that he describes in his lectures, you have to understand Rene Girard.

00:19:26.580 He met Rene Girard at Stanford back in the 80s when he attended there.

00:19:30.640 And Rene Girard had this theory called mimesis or mimetic theory.

00:19:34.660 And this is profoundly influential to Peter Thiel's thought.

00:19:37.820 So my mimesis or mimetic theory is that all human desire is a copy of what other people desire.

00:19:43.460 Rene Girard says this, man is the creature who does not know what to desire and he turns to

00:19:48.660 others in order to make up his mind. We desire what others desire because we imitate their

00:19:53.680 desire. So you go all the way down and people decide, I want this, I want this house, I want

00:19:58.360 this car, I want this affluence, I want this influence because I see other people chasing it.

00:20:02.080 And those other people originally chased it because they saw others chasing that status.

00:20:05.360 All the way down, it's human beings mimicking the desires of others.

00:20:10.300 And what that leads to is a type of crowdthink.

00:20:12.840 The second part of Gerard's mimetic theory is that this leads to scapegoating.

00:20:16.880 So then when you have all of these people that are seeking for the same thing, desiring the same outcome,

00:20:21.700 well, they inevitably run into a roadblock.

00:20:24.000 And so then what do you do when there's a roadblock and all of these people then begin to see this group,

00:20:29.440 this action, this law as what's standing in the way,

00:20:32.760 what's stopping them from achieving the thing that everybody seems to want.

00:20:37.380 You scapegoat.

00:20:38.160 You pin all of the guilt.

00:20:39.340 Everything that's wrong with society is this person right here.

00:20:41.980 Everything that's wrong with society is these laws.

00:20:44.180 Everything that's wrong is this.

00:20:45.720 And if we band together, we can take this person out.

00:20:48.860 If we band together, nobody can stop us,

00:20:50.480 and we can remove the thing that's holding us back from our perfect society.

00:20:55.220 And so Thiel delivers this series of lectures on the Antichrist,

00:20:57.620 and looking at the notes of it and everything that he talked about there,

00:21:00.440 what he's doing is he's reading and this is this is where you're going to see kind of the cracks in

00:21:05.640 his christian theory you already mentioned a big one homosexuality and that is a big one you will

00:21:09.960 not enter the kingdom of heaven if you're homosexual but here's another one he tries to 0.76

00:21:13.780 read the book of revelation through the lens of the antichrist and he reads it through the lens 0.96

00:21:17.480 of ai and he reads it through the lens of technology and he reads it through the lens of

00:21:20.520 renee gerard and what he says is that all of this ai and technology it's increasing in its use and

00:21:25.920 it's threatening economies it's threatening jobs it's threatening safety i mean how do you fight

00:21:30.540 drones like it's one thing to fight another man coming at you with a shotgun i can train for that

00:21:34.680 i can get better how do i stop something coming at me at 100 miles an hour directly from the sky

00:21:39.500 at night you can't do that so all of these fears of technology peter till says they're driving

00:21:44.820 humanity to feel afraid they're driving humanity to say the problem is ai the problem is technology

00:21:50.200 it's going to drive us back to the stone age and what we need to do is we need to band together we

00:21:54.260 to form a world government, and this world government is going to be the only thing that

00:21:58.040 saves us from this AI revolution that's going to destroy the world. And in banding together,

00:22:02.620 what he does is he reinterprets the Antichrist. And he says the Antichrist isn't necessarily

00:22:06.700 this charismatic king or this false messiah. He's someone that promises peace to the world,

00:22:11.800 but in promising peace and safety from AI and technology and everything that's going on,

00:22:16.600 in promising that, he forestalls and removes the possibility of salvation. It's a false salvation

00:22:21.860 that he offers. He doesn't have any atonement for sin. Now, to begin to examine that, first of all,

00:22:27.300 here's a great question. Where is the Antichrist mentioned in the book of Revelation? Chapter,

00:22:32.040 verse? Oh, wait, he's not. The Antichrist has never mentioned in Revelation. It's specifically

00:22:36.500 a term used in 1 John for a specific type of person. Right. Which person? He who denies the

00:22:45.020 Christ. And particularly, it's mentioned a couple times in 1 John, he who denies that Jesus has

00:22:51.780 come in the flesh. And 1 John also says, not that there is one Antichrist, a singular individual

00:22:58.900 person, but that many Antichrists have already gone out into the world and many more are coming.

00:23:05.800 So there is not a singular Antichrist as an individual person. The Bible is pretty clear

00:23:10.800 about that. Instead, Revelation speaks of the man of lawlessness. There is a man of lawlessness,

00:23:16.660 but that's not to be conflated with the Antichrist. There's also the beast, but the beast is not to be

00:23:21.160 conflated with the Antichrist. And there are pretty clear interpretations of these things.

00:23:26.180 People in modern theology have overcomplicated them, and a lot of that is because of dispensational

00:23:32.360 premillennial Zionism has muddied the waters when it comes to eschatology. You say that you're 0.83

00:23:38.920 J-pilled and you're aware of the whole Israel question and all this kind of stuff, and yeah,

00:23:43.980 no more dispensationalism. Meanwhile, you still hold to a individual Antichrist, which is a 0.61

00:23:50.020 dispensational Zionist teaching, right? So you need to be consistent there. And if you're going 0.86

00:23:55.440 to get wise to dispensational Zionism, that's great. But then you also need to change your 0.96

00:23:59.160 eschatology and read some books on that. That being said, there is not an individual person

00:24:03.280 who is the Antichrist, but there is a spirit of the Antichrist that had already gone out into the

00:24:08.400 world, even at the time of Jesus and his earthly ministry. Those who rejected him, those who he

00:24:14.180 came to his own and they received him not, right? The Jews crying out, crucify him, crucify him, 1.00

00:24:19.500 denying that he came in the flesh. Still to this day, Jewish people, those who have not converted 1.00

00:24:24.240 to Christ, Judaism denies that Jesus has come in the flesh and embody. It's not just one Jew, 0.75

00:24:30.680 well, Bibi Netanyahu, you know, or George Soros, you know, or Chuck Schumer. That's not the way it

00:24:36.580 works. No, it is Jews who reject Jesus in his incarnation, reject him as the Son of God, the 0.99

00:24:44.440 Messiah, they collectively embody the spirit of the Antichrist, and not just Jews, but also 0.92

00:24:50.080 non-Jewish people who also hold the same views of rejecting Christ. They all collectively embody 0.99

00:24:56.320 this spirit of the Antichrist. Not a person, but a spirit, a collective. And that's what I'm going

00:25:02.280 to point out, is you have this brilliant guy. I mean, he's worth $30 billion, helped co-found

00:25:07.180 Palantir, helped with PayPal. I mean, this guy is brilliant. He knows his philosophy. He knows

00:25:12.260 at some level his Christian doctrine, and he delivers this series of lectures. And you would

00:25:16.120 think that he's getting in there and he's providing something profound, that with all of his knowledge

00:25:20.760 and everything he knows and all of his money, that he's had the time and the energy and the

00:25:24.520 intellectual capacity to get in there and do something profound about and give an idea for

00:25:30.100 the end of the world. But then you look at it and he's using the term Antichrist, which itself in

00:25:36.400 scripture has a very specific, narrow meaning. If you watch interviews with Peter Thiel, he's not

00:25:42.180 particularly articulate. We can have this fear of our enemies sometimes, that they have all of

00:25:46.900 these answers, and they're so smart, and then we're the fundamentalists, and we're just stuck

00:25:50.280 with our Bible, and we don't have our Gerard, and we don't have our Hegel, and we're kind of,

00:25:54.200 we're the intellectual inferiors. This happened a lot in the 90s, I think, with the New Atheist 0.62

00:25:58.680 movement. We're the Neanderthals. We've got our Kent Hovind, and he's good, but we can't really 0.85

00:26:03.640 compete out there. But here I am showing you a man with immense amount of money, with immense

00:26:08.940 brilliance, who is himself very smart, who explicitly describes himself as a Christian

00:26:13.880 and is giving lectures at $200 a ticket to hear about his thoughts on the Antichrist.

00:26:19.760 And what relation does it have to the text that describes the Antichrist, to the text

00:26:23.780 that he's invoking?

00:26:25.100 It has almost none.

00:26:25.980 He's not seriously dealing with it at all.

00:26:27.920 He's not getting into the historical context that John the Apostle at the end there of

00:26:32.540 kind of this old covenant age at the end of his life, he's not getting into any of that.

00:26:37.020 he's just, he's kind of shooting from the hip. And so the takeaway from his lectures, AI, the

00:26:41.940 Antichrist, this government comes up to forestall and corral and bring in AI and protect it. And

00:26:48.520 everybody runs to it as false salvation. It's speculation. It's nothing. You actually, as a

00:26:54.980 Christian, you have much better answers to this. I remember back in the day, understanding that for

00:26:59.100 the first time, kind of what Judaism was. And I remember, I mean, as everybody did in like 2017,

00:27:04.080 I thought Ben Shapiro was really smart.

00:27:06.160 I was like, man, I bet he's got some incredible theory with evidence on who Jesus really was.

00:27:11.340 And I was actually kind of scared to hear his answer.

00:27:13.800 But I finally got the courage.

00:27:14.840 I went and I was like, what does Ben Shapiro, who did he think Jesus really was?

00:27:18.780 You know what his theory was?

00:27:20.180 He was a rebel that got crucified for his troubles.

00:27:22.360 He had no explanation for the gospel accounts. 0.66

00:27:24.020 No explanation for early first century testimonies from other Jews like Josephus,

00:27:29.120 from Romans speaking about Jesus and what he did.

00:27:31.600 No explanation for how within just decades of his life, Paul was repeating a common creed in 1 Corinthians that he was buried, that he rose from the third day.

00:27:41.000 All he had was kind of some secondary scholarship.

00:27:43.360 He was kind of a rebel that got crucified by the Roman Empire for his troubles.

00:27:47.340 These guys don't have all of this information.

00:27:50.840 They don't have these great arguments.

00:27:53.080 You don't have to be afraid of them.

00:27:54.440 Atheism, the hardest thing about being an atheist in 2026 is telling your dad you're gay.

00:27:59.660 Atheism lost, right? 0.97

00:28:01.100 They had their high watermark in the 90s, the new atheists. 0.93

00:28:04.020 They were going to topple the religious systems, the Christian church, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 0.99

00:28:08.480 They were utterly put to shame. 0.96

00:28:11.140 You don't need to be afraid.

00:28:13.160 They may have more hours in school or a larger vocabulary,

00:28:17.260 but when it really comes down to the concepts, the things that they believe,

00:28:21.160 these are retarded people, and you don't have to be afraid. 0.74

00:28:24.940 Our God, greater is he that is in you than James Lindsay swinging his sword. 0.90

00:28:29.760 Yeah, it's funny.

00:28:30.520 I think you hit the nail on the head, Wes, earlier.

00:28:33.480 You said something to the effect of Peel

00:28:35.280 and this intellectual, modern, philosophical movement

00:28:38.760 that he represents, whatever it is.

00:28:41.060 It's this weird amalgamation.

00:28:43.000 I think about the return of the strong God.

00:28:44.560 So new atheism died.

00:28:46.320 Everyone came back to spirituality in the last decade.

00:28:48.800 Everyone knows things are deeper.

00:28:50.440 Things aren't just material.

00:28:52.120 And now you get this reemergence,

00:28:53.760 and I think it's largely on the right, actually,

00:28:56.000 of this faux spiritual.

00:28:59.020 It's like, well, we're going to blend philosophy and modern philosophy that's built on Nietzsche and all of these 20th century philosophers, and we're going to try to reinterpret scripture.

00:29:09.800 And I hear these things.

00:29:11.260 I hear these explanations and expositions of, oh, well, maybe scripture means this.

00:29:16.420 I think about Jordan Peterson, for example, who became very famous for doing this.

00:29:20.020 Well, actually, the story of Moses, it means this.

00:29:23.660 It's actually deeper than what you'd think it means.

00:29:25.820 And you just think, you can't help but just think, oh, that's cute.

00:29:28.180 your philosophies are 300 years old and they stand right they stand as a reinterpretation

00:29:33.940 of philosophy that's two millennia old yeah it does not hold weight it doesn't and so you hear

00:29:40.420 someone um expo you hear someone like theo for example exposit um uh uh you know what what is

00:29:46.980 the antichrist and this is how it means and this is going to be my interpretation of it and you're

00:29:51.260 like dude you watch the left behind series right this is silly like and so yeah you're soft we

00:29:57.900 ought to be emboldened i think in terms of we we look at one man and we say you're brilliant you 0.61

00:30:02.140 have 30 billion dollars and you've invested in spacex facebook all palantir all of these companies 0.90

00:30:06.820 and you're actually retarded on this topic absolutely and just for the record it's not 0.90

00:30:11.120 just your jordan jordan peterson's or your peter teals because some guys will say okay yeah sure 0.97

00:30:15.600 you said two millennial uh old right you're talking about christian faith and so it's older

00:30:19.840 it's tried and true. It's the reigning authority. Um, it's the true dogma. Yeah. But you guys,

00:30:25.040 you know, you're always, you're, you're always picking on Judaism and don't they beat you,

00:30:29.300 you know, by, you know, not just a few centuries, but like millennia and a half, you know, or three

00:30:34.160 millennia, they're, they're even older than you. Okay. But, um, I'm not, you know, I'm not going

00:30:38.920 to, uh, straw man this by pointing to some, you know, Sam Altman or some, you know, some

00:30:44.300 Jewish person that's secular or liberal. Ben Shapiro is a conservative and an Orthodox Jew,

00:30:51.280 not just ethnically Jewish, but religiously. Ben Shapiro will be the first to tell you,

00:30:56.440 and has said publicly many times, like the parting of the Red Sea, it was just a strong wind

00:31:02.000 that came down that kind of, you know, pushed a little bit of the, like, it didn't really happen,

00:31:07.180 right? Ben Shapiro, it's not just that he rejects the New Testament and rejects Jesus as the

00:31:12.160 Messiah. He projects the Old Testament. For him, it's no different than Jordan Peterson. That's why

00:31:16.420 they were able to partner together. It's all just metaphor. It's all just a sign that points to

00:31:20.440 something that really, and no matter what it is, no matter what story in the Old Testament,

00:31:24.960 what does it point to? What does it really mean at the end of the day? Oh, 19th, 20th century

00:31:29.340 liberalism. Convenient. Shocker. That's what it always kind of boils down to. So even your

00:31:34.460 based conservative Orthodox Jew whose hat keeps getting bigger with each season that comes out, 0.87

00:31:40.900 even that guy. It's philosophical sophistry. It's modernity. It's not authoritative. None of them, 0.90

00:31:49.600 none of them, but Christians. Yeah. Christians only. Yeah, it's kind of incredible. Materialism 1.00

00:31:55.700 is dying. That's why you see someone like Peter Thiel coming back to the scriptures, because

00:31:59.740 they recognize materialists can't account for the world. So you have people with all these

00:32:04.580 resources, and they're kind of coming back and saying, yeah, Christianity is true. I mean,

00:32:08.660 even Elon Musk. I mean, this guy is materialist of materialists. He's siring as many children as

00:32:13.340 possible. He's trying to take humanity to Mars and set up a space there. This man believes

00:32:18.820 rationalism, intellect, logic, hard work, all of these things. And even as people have pushed him

00:32:24.900 just in the past couple of years, he's been forced to at least go as far as to say,

00:32:28.620 yeah, I agree with the teachings of Jesus. I'm coming all the way back 2,000 years to a man who

00:32:34.120 ministered in Galilee in the beginning of the first century, who was crucified by the Romans,

00:32:38.380 and then a religion grew up claiming that he raised from the dead.

00:32:41.200 We're still dealing with this.

00:32:42.940 And all the greatest men, materialism had its run.

00:32:45.520 Maybe you could call it 200 years if you go back to the Enlightenment,

00:32:48.400 but especially in the last 50 years.

00:32:50.240 But what's going to come in is guys like this,

00:32:52.260 appropriating the symbols, appropriating the ideas,

00:32:54.980 cobbling it together, but you get to say, 0.96

00:32:57.220 if you know your Bible, that's ridiculous. 0.98

00:32:59.560 What are you talking about? 0.99

00:33:01.080 And they'll try to do the same thing with homosexuality, for example.

00:33:03.340 Well, actually, the word for homosexuality was blah, blah, blah.

00:33:06.420 No, you can go back and you can read and look at the Latin and look at the Greek.

00:33:09.700 No, this is the word that was used.

00:33:11.000 And we didn't have the word homosexual in the Bible until I think 1850 because we didn't

00:33:15.400 have it in English because we had other words for it, men who lie with other men.

00:33:19.280 So all of your explanations, all of your attempts to twist the scripture, they're very easily

00:33:23.940 refuted.

00:33:25.060 Now, there is one thing, not on the side of theology, but on the side of politics, practical

00:33:30.040 and application that is not easily refuted.

00:33:33.100 Peter Thiel is one of the largest shareholders

00:33:34.960 and on the board of a AI targeting platform, Palantir.

00:33:39.300 Now, Palantir is not theological, philosophical.

00:33:42.640 It's real life.

00:33:43.720 It's bullets.

00:33:44.540 It's action.

00:33:45.540 On that side of things,

00:33:47.060 so he doesn't pose a threat on the side of Christianity.

00:33:49.600 Jordan Peterson doesn't.

00:33:50.980 But there are real questions to be had.

00:33:53.120 Why is he moving to Argentina?

00:33:54.760 It could be a tax strategy. 1.00

00:33:56.120 It could be to avoid Californians looking like

00:33:58.040 they're going to pass a billionaire tax.

00:33:59.380 If I had $30 billion, I would not want to be in California.

00:34:02.600 Okay, maybe that's why he's leaving.

00:34:04.220 Another reason that he could be anticipating and saying,

00:34:07.340 I don't think things are going to go too well.

00:34:09.640 I see on the horizon a lot more fragmentation.

00:34:12.260 I see AI destroying the economy.

00:34:14.420 I want to be far, far away when that happens.

00:34:16.460 So he's not all powerful.

00:34:17.860 He doesn't pose a threat as far as Christianity.

00:34:19.320 He's not an intellectual titan, but at the same time, he is very powerful. 0.78

00:34:22.660 And then even as powerful as he is, he recognizes it might be time to get the hell out of Dodge.

00:34:27.420 Right, and not only that.

00:34:29.220 So the big point that you're making, Wes, and you're absolutely right, is in terms of the existential questions, in terms of the reality of eternity, you do not have anything to fear.

00:34:43.140 If you are a Bible-believing Christian, you have nothing to fear. 0.59

00:34:47.060 None of these guys, Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, whoever it is, these companies and Fortune 500 companies and Jewish billionaires, they cannot thwart God's plan.

00:34:59.220 they cannot take your soul, they cannot jeopardize anything that God has sovereignly orchestrated to 0.87

00:35:04.840 happen. And we know from Romans chapter 8 that God is working all things for the good of those

00:35:09.660 who love Him and are called according to His purpose. So if you are in Christ by grace through

00:35:15.760 faith and you know your Bible, then you know that you have nothing to fear. God is using all these

00:35:20.440 things for His glory and for your good. That said, that's in the eternal. But in the temporal realm,

00:35:28.480 if you're a husband if you're a father if you're tasked with you know the role of provision and

00:35:33.840 protection for your wife and children these guys can make that difficult for you they can make you 0.67

00:35:40.240 unemployed they can you know zionist in your government can pass anti-semitism laws which 0.76

00:35:47.620 is already underway and then their tech can be used by the government which already owns this

00:35:52.920 tech with Palantir to hunt down everybody who has said anything that the ADL deems as being

00:35:58.840 anti-Semitic. And not only are you unemployed, but all of a sudden now you're fined, or perhaps

00:36:03.600 you're even thrown in jail. So we do want to say here at the very end of the episode, giving this

00:36:08.800 added disclaimer, that there is a real potential suffering, a real potential suffering attached to

00:36:18.140 these things. And so we need to be vigilant. We need to be aware. We need to speak out, those of

00:36:22.900 us who can. Others will have to hide their power levels. But for those of us who can and are

00:36:28.320 insulated, speaking out publicly about these things, calling attention to it, standing our

00:36:34.100 ground, and most importantly, praying and asking the Lord for protection and for grace, because

00:36:39.000 the Peter Teals of the world can make your life difficult. They can temporally oppress you. But 0.97

00:36:47.320 in the big existential antichrist into the world, but they're a joke. These guys are retarded. 1.00

00:36:55.760 They really are. They're brilliant. But in that realm, theology and what's true, what's eternally 1.00

00:37:03.060 true, they don't know what they're talking about. They don't. And you have nothing to fear in the

00:37:08.980 eternal. You absolutely have some things to be worried about temporally. And so we should be

00:37:15.040 innocent as doves and is wise as serpents. We should pray that God would protect us,

00:37:21.840 but we also should work strategically to save our country from anti-Zionism laws being passed

00:37:30.460 and Palantir technology being coupled with our government, with the passing of those laws that

00:37:35.340 throw patriots and saints, Christians who fear the Lord, in prison. That is something that's real.

00:37:43.660 I think we really need to be aware of the syncretism. 1.00

00:37:45.680 All of this we're talking about.

00:37:46.680 We're not talking about the left.

00:37:47.700 We're talking about the right.

00:37:48.600 You have the tech right, which is generally younger,

00:37:50.800 and you have MAGA, and then you have what you could call

00:37:52.940 America First, Christian nationalism.

00:37:55.020 All of them use Christianity.

00:37:56.500 MAGA is not opposed to Christianity.

00:37:58.360 As we're seeing today, even the tech right,

00:38:00.360 they use Christian language and everything like that.

00:38:02.320 So all three of these groups on the right

00:38:04.160 know that they have to use Christianity

00:38:05.920 to segue and gain power with evangelical voters.

00:38:09.340 But as we see with at least two of them,

00:38:11.740 And in elements of the grifters, which I'll get to in a moment, they're twisting it.

00:38:15.880 I mean, Trump and Christianity, what is the relationship to it? 0.76

00:38:18.900 I think he for sure thinks it's for plebs.

00:38:21.580 It's for peasants. 1.00

00:38:22.600 Yeah, Christianity is great. 1.00

00:38:24.020 And I'll use that language to go ahead and get a popular vote.

00:38:27.260 I mean, there's no one Trump loves more than himself.

00:38:29.740 He doesn't have any real attachment to it.

00:38:31.360 He thinks Christianity is the opiate of the masses.

00:38:34.660 The tech right on this side, they also like Christianity too.

00:38:37.280 They think it's pretty cool.

00:38:38.380 They'll use its language, and they'll even evoke it a little bit with heritage and salvation

00:38:42.560 and sin, but as we just saw, they too have no intellectual depth and understanding of

00:38:47.260 it. 0.65

00:38:47.600 It's Christian nationalism that says, here's what the Bible teaches, then here's how the

00:38:52.200 West took that and built the greatest empire, the greatest civilization the world has ever

00:38:56.500 seen, and here are the implications of it.

00:38:58.400 And also, here are some people that don't belong on the team, because as we can see,

00:39:01.840 two months ago, two years ago, they were at the strip club.

00:39:04.520 So they don't have a practical, ethical attachment to it.

00:39:07.540 These guys don't have an intellectual attachment to it.

00:39:10.140 We have to stay the course.

00:39:11.560 Character matters. 0.75

00:39:13.080 You don't get to go to the strip club and then run as a Christian nationalist candidate.

00:39:16.580 And you also don't get to use the language of Christianity and then go home to your husband

00:39:20.840 and your kids that you're adopted.

00:39:22.340 Neither one, the course is through the middle.

00:39:24.580 The intellectual rigor of Christianity, of the Protestant political tradition that built

00:39:30.020 America, Protestantism built America and has a system to do it, and the ethics, the morality

00:39:35.700 of it.

00:39:36.120 that also binding them together that's a real movement that wins these other ones he also is

00:39:42.400 moving because the future of politics it looks like uh the midterms republicans are going to

00:39:47.300 get wiped out that could extend to 2028 peter thiel is kind of saying i might have to pack my

00:39:52.280 bags and get the hell out of dodge because politically my angle my aim to have influence

00:39:57.220 might not work out and the left might be coming for me so the tech right's not winning i just saw

00:40:01.740 a poll on trump's approval with like 18 to 29 year olds something like a 60 point collapse in

00:40:07.100 the last year and a half you know so that's not winning either so we've got one option left this

00:40:11.880 is the one to bet the house on christianity christian nationalism revitalizing what it means

00:40:17.380 to be american and also what it means to be a christian yeah and i would say maybe perhaps

00:40:21.320 another way to think about it is it's really christian nationalism really is tradition over

00:40:24.980 and above every other every other thing so whether it's the new tech right and the reinterpretation of

00:40:29.940 you know christian texts and uh christian history and christian ideas christian philosophy

00:40:34.480 or if it's the atheist the spiritual you know witch and whatever it is it's all of that is

00:40:41.020 modern like that's the point we have to hammer home all of it's modern i don't care if you

00:40:45.220 elicit the symbolism or you elicit the scriptures if what if you're not getting into the back of

00:40:50.060 the line because that's what it is it's just hubris it's like well i'm a genius let me take

00:40:53.960 a stab at christian philosophy let me take a stab at it and it's like no i'm a bit of a team

00:40:59.460 If you're going to move in the line of Aquinas and the line of Calvin, if you're going to take what they've said and try to reinterpret it as if you're smarter, you're more brilliant, and the 2,000 years of church history don't stand in comparison to you, that's hubris.

00:41:16.480 You need to get to the back of the line.

00:41:18.200 We welcome you.

00:41:19.020 We welcome you to the cause of Christ.

00:41:20.720 But you can't pretend as if, like, I've got $30 billion, and I just came across these ideas, and I've got a fresh take on them.

00:41:27.700 now let me now let me lead that's not how it's going to work that's not how the tradition the

00:41:32.860 christian tradition has ever worked that's right and it's all modern and so it's like christian

00:41:36.740 nationalism is their tradition you notice this about our articulations of our policies with

00:41:41.740 respect to christian nationalism whether it's women 19th amendment whether it's uh you know

00:41:46.100 the public expression of faith when should we uh public idolatry and public blasphemy all of these

00:41:51.420 saying is it's like are we making this up no or are we looking back in time and saying look at men

00:41:58.120 who were more brilliant than us who had these ideas and by the way put them in practice and

00:42:02.280 that's an important part is has this been done before it's the it's the irony it's like whether

00:42:07.440 it's it's it's well let's let's take a new stab at christianity in the public sphere says peter

00:42:12.740 teal let's let's take a new stab and it's like it's the same argument that a communist would

00:42:18.100 made or so it's never been tried before and so it it hasn't we don't have the example it hasn't

00:42:23.100 stood the test of time and in that way it's modern and i don't trust it so anyway that's right all

00:42:27.240 that to say christian nationalism we're looking back we're not pretending like we're men who are

00:42:31.220 more brilliant or look at our credentials and look why you should trust us we're saying look at look

00:42:35.760 through time look at the west look what was built that's what we want that's right that's very well

00:42:41.080 said and it's worth on that note it's worth keeping in mind that none of these guys are

00:42:45.300 actually on the right we only say they're on the right because with our political system as it is

00:42:50.900 today there's a left and a right and because everything is so liberal uh being on the right

00:42:57.400 is a very low standard right it's a very very small criteria that needs to be met in order to

00:43:02.800 uh in order to amount to somebody being on the right so when we say peter thiel is on the right 0.52

00:43:07.640 we only mean on the right in that sense the dude is a homosexual and uh and to antonio's point

00:43:14.380 it is not actually that much difference fundamentally with um james tallarica right

00:43:21.440 both are taking the timeless tradition of christianity and coming up with some kind of

00:43:26.900 modern novel explanation modern and novel interpretation exegesis and and so they're

00:43:34.940 both within the liberal framework one just a little bit more to the right and one a little 0.89

00:43:39.620 bit more to the left, but both are homosexuals. Both are, you know, spiritually and literally 0.88

00:43:46.440 homosexuals. Both are liberal. Both are products of modernity. And none of them are actually 0.97

00:43:54.620 truly right wing. You don't get someone who is truly right wing unless they're willing to hold

00:44:02.800 to the principles of scripture that are timeless and traditional. Find me someone who says, yeah,

00:44:08.180 America should have blasphemy laws, but only blasphemy against the Lord Jesus Christ, right?

00:44:14.200 America should have blue laws, but not the Jewish Sabbath, right? Charlie Kirk in his latest book,

00:44:20.540 but no, the actual Sabbath, the Christian Sabbath, the day that Christ Jesus rose from the dead.

00:44:26.160 Yeah, we're not, we're rejecting egalitarianism. The world that God built is by nature hierarchical,

00:44:32.640 and that's God's design and we celebrate that, men and women. There is a hierarchy among 0.98

00:44:39.220 every single species of animals and there's also a hierarchy between the sexes of men and women

00:44:44.900 and we also reject, while we're at it, not just sexual egalitarianism, but we reject

00:44:49.900 egalitarianism in all its forms as the engine and the linchpin of modern liberalism. We reject

00:44:57.540 racial egalitarianism. That's not to say that there's not individual exceptions or that an

00:45:02.940 entire tribe, tongue and people in the providence of God slowly over time can grow and improve.

00:45:08.320 But we recognize we're not going to give ourself a lobotomy. We're not going to

00:45:12.600 refuse to believe our lying eyes. We can look to the world. There are some people who have been to

00:45:19.200 the moon and there are some people living in mud huts. And we recognize that there's a distinction

00:45:23.580 there. Still both made in the image of God, but not the same. And we're not going to pretend.

00:45:29.200 We're not going to pretend. Unless somebody's able to say those things, they're not right-wing.

00:45:33.700 So Peter Thiel is not right-wing. Jordan Peter Stein is not right-wing. Ben Shapiro is not

00:45:38.880 right-wing. It's all just varying degrees on this sliding scale of liberalism. There's some who are

00:45:45.120 on the righter side of left liberalism, and some who are on the furthest left side of this left

00:45:52.820 liberalism. That's all it is. Give me Christian nationalism or give me death. At the end of the

00:46:00.180 day, you have to recognize it's Christian nationalism or bust. Those are the only options. 1.00

00:46:05.700 Christian nationalism or bust. Peter Thiel is not going to give it to you. The Daily Wire is not

00:46:09.940 going to give it to you. The blaze led by a Mormon is not going to give it to you. You need tried and 1.00

00:46:17.600 true orthodox believing Christians with the spine willing to both say what is true and seek to not

00:46:25.700 only come up with the correct interpretation or exegesis, but theology then applied. You need

00:46:32.400 that. That's what we need. That's what we pray for. That's what we work towards. If you'd like

00:48:03.840 but I got to be honest with you guys. Our channel is, um, just, it, it is, um, unspeakably

00:48:13.000 underrated. Uh, we, and we get that comment all the time. People saying, I can't believe this

00:48:19.520 channel is not bigger. I can't believe your views aren't higher. I personally think, and I've got

00:48:24.740 some evidence to back this up that some of it I think is an art artificial suppression, um, of our

00:48:30.080 channel. But at the same time, part of it is because there's a lot of people who still just

00:48:35.260 haven't found us yet. And so we need your help. That's one way you can support us without giving

00:48:39.560 a dime. But instead, just give 30 seconds of your time. And all you have to do is share the video.

00:49:04.640 beat you up, but I, I, yeah, I don't want to beat you up, but, um, but God might send you to help.

00:49:09.420 So I, you know, I can't promise. No, I'm just kidding. Uh, but no, help us out. That's the

00:49:13.860 easiest way to support us. Easiest way by far to support us, but it's still meaningful. Like,

00:49:19.980 subscribe, share, tell a friend. So thank you guys so much. God bless. And we'll see you

00:49:24.760 with Dale Partridge on Tuesday. America will either have Christ or will have chaos.

00:49:32.340 For years, conservatives believed that Trump could reverse America's decline. But after Trump,

00:49:39.040 the right is now fractured, exhausted, and losing ground. Endless infighting and electoral losses

00:49:46.000 have exposed a deeper problem that politics alone cannot solve. A nation that rejects Christ 0.61

00:49:53.640 cannot be restored by mere personalities, grandstanding, or Christless conservatism.

00:50:01.140 So NXR Studios' first annual conference, America After Trump, brings together pastors,

00:50:08.940 politicians, commentators, and Christians that are committed to strength, cooperation,

00:50:15.400 and a durable future for the American right. Complaining is not a strategy, and despair

00:50:21.820 cannot be an option.

00:50:24.160 Christ is King.

00:50:25.560 Let's live like it.
