The NXR Podcast - NXR Livestream - Trump Isn't King Cyrus; He's King Saul

00:00:00.360 I just mentioned a name, but a woman who I saw the other night on television just ripped some poor idiot apart.

00:00:07.780 Megyn Kelly is here, and she's doing...

00:00:10.720 Come up! Come up here, Megyn.

00:00:13.780 By the way, I'm having a great time up here. Are you having a good time?

00:00:17.100 Is he the greatest interviewer?

00:00:21.640 Candace Owens, I watched her, and I saw her coming.

00:00:24.800 I said, you know, I'm pretty good at star power.

00:00:26.880 I look at her, and I say, that's a star.

00:00:29.360 I just want to finish by saying your reputation's amazing.

00:00:32.660 I will not let you down.

00:00:34.280 You will be very, very impressed.

00:00:36.820 Donald Trump, let me say this.

00:00:37.960 My audience, I'd say 90% supports you, okay?

00:00:41.680 And you definitely have shown your knowledge of geopolitical systems.

00:00:46.940 I just want to finish by saying your reputation's amazing.

00:00:49.940 I will not let you down.

00:00:51.360 You will be very, very impressed, I hope.

00:00:54.920 And I think we'll be speaking a lot,

00:00:56.400 But you'll be looking at me in a year and a year or two years.

00:00:59.860 Let's give me a little bit of a time to run things.

00:01:02.600 But a year into office, you'll be saying, wow, I remember that interview.

00:01:06.940 He said he was going to do it, and he did a great job.

00:01:09.020 You'll be very proud of our country.

00:01:10.440 Well, I'm impressed.

00:01:11.180 I mean, you're saying you're fully committed.

00:01:12.460 You know, there's no future if we don't take this country back.

00:01:14.880 Donald Trump, I hope you can help uncripple America.

00:01:17.480 Thank you so much, sir, that you will be attacked for coming on.

00:01:19.960 And we know you know that.

00:01:20.680 Thank you.

00:01:21.580 Thank you very much.

00:01:22.660 Imagine you're Donald Trump.

00:01:24.560 You're from New York City.

00:01:25.660 You become famous in New York City.

00:01:27.100 You make your fortune in New York City.

00:01:28.700 And all of a sudden, the leadership of New York City

00:01:30.860 decides they're going to destroy you

00:01:32.520 because they don't like your politics.

00:01:35.020 And so they, yeah, boo.

00:01:37.340 Imagine if that were you, though.

00:01:39.440 And they try and take everything that you have.

00:01:41.980 They try and put you in prison.

00:01:44.080 They try and put your children in prison.

00:01:46.700 If that happened to you,

00:01:48.160 how often do you think you'd be going back to New York City?

00:01:51.420 How about never?

00:01:53.760 And yet he's here.

00:01:54.560 it's like getting thrown out of a bar. And you think to yourself, well, you know, all my friends

00:01:59.720 are in the bar. And you approach the door and there's the bouncer like, you're not allowed in

00:02:05.180 here. But from behind the bouncer, you hear the cheers of your friend, come on in. And the bouncer

00:02:11.320 hangs his head in shame. He's embarrassed that he's working for the man trying to keep the most

00:02:17.940 popular person out of the bar. And that's Donald Trump back in the city that produced him with no

00:02:23.800 embarrassment at all in a room full of his friends. It is vile on every level. It begins

00:02:33.280 with a promise to use the U.S. military, our military, to destroy civilian infrastructure

00:02:41.900 in another country, which is to say to commit a war crime, a moral crime against the people

00:02:47.120 of the country. Those people who are in direct contact with the president need to say no.

00:02:53.800 i'll resign i'll do whatever i can do legally to stop this because this is insane and if given the

00:03:00.800 order i'm not carrying it out but the president has had enough of tucker and yeah i'm just going

00:03:07.820 to admit it i sent the president tucker carlson's clip so he can see that he says about him i do

00:03:14.520 and i want that tucker carlson to know that i'm the one who knifed him from the front i want him

00:03:20.560 to know i'm not talking about physical violence physical knifing but yeah i'm the one that sent

00:03:25.700 the president all your tucker because he deserves to see the fact that you are lying about him and

00:03:32.200 you are smearing him and you are saying the most vile things about our country and our president

00:03:38.680 and you are creating so much chaos you're going to cause the democrats to take the house and the

00:03:43.180 senate and you are endangering our national security by whitewashing this barbaric death

00:03:48.400 ideological known as Islam. So I just hope that he knows that, yes, Tucker, there are people out

00:03:55.300 there who actually have the courage to take your dribble and take your bull to the president and

00:04:01.540 to stand up against you. I don't know who Tucker Carlson thinks he is. He thinks he's so popular.

00:04:06.220 Even President Trump today called him out and said he's like a third rate podcaster.

00:04:09.580 I don't know why Tucker Carlson thinks he's so special. He's not. He's not special. He is

00:04:16.020 endangering the lives of christians of catholics of jews and all non-muslims in the way that he

00:04:23.440 continues to whitewash this death cult ideology and the way that he continues to incite violence

00:04:29.580 against evangelicals and jewish americans and even the president himself here we are it's been said

00:04:37.600 for several years at this point i've even said it myself years ago that president trump

00:04:43.440 is indicative of King Cyrus, right? If you're not familiar with the Old Testament passages,

00:04:50.240 King Cyrus was a Persian king who took over Babylon, and after taking over Babylon, although

00:04:55.880 he did not fear God, he himself was not a follower of God, he still had some sense of

00:05:03.640 a commendation and a sense of feeling obligated to serve the people of Israel under the old

00:05:14.100 covenant. They had been in captivity at this point for 70 years in Babylon. Persian king Cyrus takes

00:05:20.920 over and then he says, you know what? I don't fear God. I don't believe in God, but I'm going to be

00:05:25.720 good to God's people. I'm going to actually resource the people of God out of my own treasury,

00:05:30.540 out of his own resources to go back to Israel and to rebuild Jerusalem, to rebuild the city,

00:05:38.500 the walls, the temple, and to re-inhabit the land so that sacrifices to their God can be made again

00:05:46.460 in proper order. And I think that God will bless our kingdom even for supporting that. And so that

00:05:54.440 analogy has been used on multiple occasions to describe President Trump, because most God-fearing

00:06:01.580 Christians, right, there are a lot of people who, you know, drank the Kool-Aid, but, you know, as

00:06:06.340 much as I have supported Trump in the past, I never went this far, because I'm a Christian pastor,

00:06:12.000 and so I never went to the point of saying, oh, well, you know what, I actually think that Trump

00:06:16.540 is a good, moral Christian man. Nobody hardly went that far except for a bunch of MAGA cultists

00:06:27.460 who will just say whatever Trump wants to hear. Pretty much everybody knows that Trump,

00:06:34.360 in his essence, is a 1990s liberal Democrat who posed with Hugh Hefner, who has had affairs,

00:06:40.660 a serial adulterer who has been through multiple marriages. He's not an ideologue. Trump doesn't

00:06:47.940 really have convictions. The only thing that he's actually ideological about, that he actually

00:06:51.940 believes and is held to, would be certain economic policies, right? The guy's good with business,

00:06:58.020 with economics, with money, you know, so the tariffs or things like that. Other than that,

00:07:03.220 he doesn't have a dog in the fight. He doesn't have a genuine, true, you know, authentic

00:07:09.620 conviction to serve the Lord, or to do this, or to do that. He's, you know, oh, well, I think

00:07:15.900 homosexuality is not marriage, and then it's gays for Trump, you know, just a few years later, or

00:07:20.800 oh, you know, I think there should be some kind of penalty for the woman who commits abortion. He

00:07:25.620 said that. He said that on national television. Yes, not only should abortion be outlawed, should

00:07:31.920 it be done away with and abolished, but in order for that to happen, in order for justice to be

00:07:37.540 done, there needs to be some kind of civil penalty for the woman. Trump said that on live television,

00:07:43.980 and a few years later, all of a sudden, he's backtracking his rhetoric on the dignity of

00:07:50.360 the unborn. So there's not really any moral or cultural or political ideology or conviction

00:07:56.560 that Trump has actually held to. He's willing to sway on this, sway on that. People who are never

00:08:02.660 Trumpers like Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Lindsey Graham, all these individuals, all of a sudden

00:08:07.860 are now MAGA, right? I've even seen that there's going to be some kind of event hosted by Grindr

00:08:14.780 at the White House or White House adjacent. And this has been posted online. My response when I

00:08:21.580 saw that was, I guess Trump's right. I guess Lindsey Graham, a homosexual, childish, childless

00:08:28.100 old man who can be spotted at Disney World holding a little kid's toy all by himself,

00:08:35.620 alone, wandering like he has dementia. Trump has said, Lindsey Graham, Mark Levin, these guys are

00:08:40.880 MAGA. Well, now that Grindr is going to be hosting an event at the White House, I guess Lindsey

00:08:44.960 Graham really is MAGA. I guess that really is true these days. Well, the point is this.

00:08:50.440 Trump has completely, completely betrayed at this point his true base. And although there was this

00:08:58.700 sentiment of, okay, Trump is not a good, moral, ideological, convicted Christian man, maybe he's

00:09:07.400 still a King Cyrus, right? He's a guy who doesn't honor the Lord himself, but like the King of

00:09:13.480 Persia, he comes into power and he's used under the providence of God to do good for God's people.

00:09:20.140 He himself is not among God's people, but he's good to God's people so that they can restore,

00:09:24.680 they can be resourced to go and rebuild and worship the Lord with freedom, with liberty,

00:09:31.540 with safety and security. And that was kind of, that was the idea. That was the big analogy that

00:09:38.060 many Christians, like I said, including myself years ago, used to describe Donald Trump. But

00:09:42.920 the reality that I think we have to come to at this point is that he's not King Cyrus. He is

00:09:48.160 much more likened to King Saul. King Saul was a prominent and pivotal figure in the history of

00:09:57.060 Old Covenant Israel. Previous to the kings, the dynasty in Israel, there was a time of the judges.

00:10:05.480 There were prophets in the land, but very often they were killed and had no honor. They would

00:10:11.100 speak for God, but they didn't have any civil power. They didn't have civil office. They were

00:10:15.960 prophets that were crying out in the wilderness, guys like Isaiah and Jeremiah and Ezekiel,

00:10:21.860 and they spoke for God. But ultimately, under the time of the judges, there was this system in which

00:10:28.660 every man, the book of Judges says this numerous times, every man in Israel did what was right in

00:10:34.800 his own eyes. It was a time of chaos. It was a time where there wasn't really any true biblical

00:10:41.500 order. There wasn't any civil justice. There wasn't any real order. And we've had that time

00:10:47.660 for decades here in the United States. And Trump came in like the first king in Israel. After the

00:10:54.420 time of the judges, the first king appointed by God was Donald Trump. And Trump comes into Israel

00:11:01.600 and he comes, or, you know, Saul, King Saul comes into Israel, like Trump came into America

00:11:07.360 as the first king, and he establishes order, and the people love him. But over time, the prophet

00:11:14.300 at that time, Samuel, who anointed Saul as king, eventually says, the Spirit of God has departed

00:11:20.480 from you. You were once small in your own eyes. You once had some sense of humility. Now, I know

00:11:27.340 that's difficult to take that part of the analogy and tie it to Trump, because I don't know if he's

00:11:32.220 ever been small in his own eyes. I don't know if he's... I think that, you know, there are some

00:11:36.340 strengths that can be said about Trump, but humility is probably not one of them. It'd be

00:11:40.900 hard for me to say that, you know, in the microphone on camera without just bursting

00:11:46.620 into laughter. So it's hard to describe Trump as someone who is ever humble. But the point still is

00:11:51.860 that even Trump, even if he started off with some measure of pride, I think that that pride,

00:11:57.140 that arrogance has grown and it's grown and it's grown exponentially to where he's no longer even

00:12:03.180 close to being small in his own eyes, but he's gotten too big for his britches. And Samuel is

00:12:10.000 this prophet who comes to King Saul and says, at that point, he says, the Spirit of God has

00:12:16.340 departed from you. And so rather than you having your own heir who will inherit the kingdom,

00:12:22.720 it's going to go to another man who God will choose, a man outside of your dynasty, outside

00:12:29.220 of your lineage, someone unsuspected, someone that right now is a lowly shepherd in his father's

00:12:36.980 field, tending his father's sheep, David. But this man will be a warrior, and he will be a man after

00:12:43.940 God's own heart. And so I'm calling it now. I'm going to just say right now, I think it may not

00:12:49.780 happen in 2028, although I pray and hope that it does. It may be a 2032 kind of scenario. But I

00:12:55.940 think that God used Trump to disrupt the Bush dynasty, the neocons, this decades-long period

00:13:04.340 in America's history where everyone did what was right in their own eyes. There's a system.

00:13:09.540 It seems as though there's order, but it's all unjust. It's all being propped up. It's all fake

00:13:15.900 and gay. It's all being propped up by centralized banks and globalist order and all these kinds of

00:13:20.880 things. It's not good for actual Americans. It's not good for the people of God. It's certainly

00:13:25.300 not good for Christians. And Trump, like King Saul, King Saul came into the time of the judges

00:13:30.860 where everyone's doing right, what's right in their own eyes. And he establishes order. But

00:13:36.800 then King Saul gets arrogant and the kingdom departs from him. The spirit of God departs from

00:13:41.500 him and David is anointed as king. And there's this great civil war, this struggle between the

00:13:48.120 house of David and the house of Saul. And there are more and more people who are, you know, they

00:13:53.600 were maybe appointed with King Saul and had some degree of honor and esteem. Saul thought well of

00:14:00.580 him, but they eventually started to see, now the Spirit of God is moving from Saul to David. And

00:14:06.800 they started changing their allegiance, not because it was personal, not because they

00:14:11.480 personally liked David more than they liked Saul, but because they loved the Lord. Wherever the

00:14:15.840 Spirit of the Lord was, that's where they wanted to be. And here's the deal. I don't agree with

00:14:22.020 everything that Alex Jones has said. Alex Jones has said, you know, some things that I think are

00:14:26.480 wrong. And I think on some things, he's been a little bit late to the game. And on other things,

00:14:30.700 he was incredibly early. I mean, the guy called 9-11, right? I mean, that's insane. Like a year

00:14:36.080 in advance, called it. Trump says he called it. But Alex Jones actually did. Here's the thing.

00:14:42.000 I think Alex Jones has done a lot of good. Obviously, people make mistakes. He's made

00:14:46.320 mistakes, but Alex Jones has done a lot of good. And he was one of the first guys, a forebearer

00:14:52.360 for Donald Trump in his corner, pushing him onto the main stage. And I think of Alex Jones in some

00:14:59.360 sense, similar, and you could throw Tucker in here and a few others, but especially Jones. I want to

00:15:04.000 give him credit for a moment. I think of him like the wilderness kind of prophet that doesn't have

00:15:10.800 a formal civil position, but he has a voice and he's speaking the word of the Lord and calling

00:15:18.420 things that are not as though they are. And I think of, you know, what Samuel did as the prophet

00:15:24.600 in Israel at the time, anointing Saul, but then later on actually removing himself from Saul as

00:15:31.480 he sees the Spirit of God begin to depart. And then all of a sudden, you know, God leads Samuel,

00:15:37.480 the prophet to go and anoint David. And I see that kind of, it's not really a King Cyrus moment

00:15:44.680 anymore. I think that that rhetoric held up for a number of years that Trump is like King Cyrus.

00:15:50.120 He's not a follower of God, but he's resourcing the people of God so they can go and rebuild

00:15:54.940 Israel. They can restore the land and the temple and true free worship to the triune God.

00:16:00.500 There was a time where that rhetoric held up. The King Cyrus analogy seemed to be a good

00:16:05.260 descriptor of Donald Trump. These days, King Saul is a much more accurate descriptor of Trump. And

00:16:13.160 if Trump is Saul, the question remains, who is David? Who is going to be the person who ultimately

00:16:19.620 replaces Saul, who is actually a man after God's own heart, who will do what is right, who will

00:16:26.020 stay small in his own eyes, who won't get too big for his britches, who won't become arrogant, who

00:16:31.260 won't turn and betray um his own men the same men who when when david was not yet formally in power

00:16:38.240 but the anointing was already there there are a group of men david's mighty men who are hanging

00:16:43.260 out with him in the caves and at the time it wasn't people of prominence early on when david

00:16:48.380 is first anointed but he hasn't come into the throne it's everyone who is disparaged everyone

00:16:53.180 who is in debt the bible says this look at first and second samuel it's it's all it's all the

00:16:58.560 disenfranchised young men in Israel who've been disenfranchised by Saul, who had had high hopes

00:17:06.340 for Saul, but Saul, his heart began to change and began to betray the people of Israel. And it's

00:17:12.540 these men who have courage, they have grit, they have resolve, and yet they are down on their luck.

00:17:19.060 They're disparaged, they're indebted, you know, all these things. And they're the ones who, when

00:17:23.680 David is actually, he's not in power yet, but it's clear that he's going to be the Spirit of God,

00:17:28.420 is upon him. They're the ones who rallied to David, the future king who will be a king after

00:17:33.800 God's own heart. They rally to David. They go into the caves of Adullam and they're hiding out on the

00:17:40.800 run from Saul because Saul has actually gone mad by this point. He's gone crazy, right? The Bible

00:17:47.060 even says that the Lord sent, there was an evil spirit sent by the Lord in his sovereignty to

00:17:53.040 afflict Saul. Because Saul had departed from the Lord, the Lord departed from Saul and even began

00:17:59.420 to send an evil spirit to afflict and torment Saul, to drive him more and more away from his

00:18:06.260 senses, more and more into his madness, to where he even tried to spear David. He tried to throw a

00:18:12.460 spear and pin David to the wall when David was playing the harp in Saul's palace. David was

00:18:18.120 serving Saul, trying to help Saul, and yet Saul turns against him. But all the disenfranchised

00:18:24.560 young men in Israel who have no kinetic power or authority or strength at that moment, but

00:18:31.260 vast potential. It's untapped, but it's there. David can see it. David can see these are the

00:18:37.260 men who will become mighty men one day, and those men can see in David he has the anointing. He has

00:18:43.680 the Spirit of God, and they begin to link arms with one another. A civil war as David begins to

00:18:50.640 get more and more prominence in Israel, and the prominence of Saul begins to fade more and more.

00:18:55.320 Eventually, there's a split in Israel, a divide of, I'm with Saul, I'm with David, and Saul gets

00:19:02.520 more and more jealous and more and more angry, because there are moments where people begin to

00:19:07.880 sing songs. Saul has killed his thousands, but David, his tens of thousands, and Saul is enraged,

00:19:14.560 right? Trump has done some good, but question mark, blank, who is it? He has done even more good,

00:19:21.580 and the anger, and jealousy, and bitterness, and mad-driven loss of senses of Saul begin to

00:19:29.560 compound more and more as David is gaining more and more of God's favor, and more and more disenchanted,

00:19:36.180 disenfranchised men began to rally to David's side. I think that this is what's going on.

00:19:44.240 And Samuel himself, the prophet who anointed Saul and was with him, a great defender of Saul and

00:19:50.700 God's appointment of him for a time. Eventually as God, his spirit begins to leave Saul. Then Samuel

00:19:57.240 turns from Saul also and finds David and anoints him. And I think of Trump like Saul. I think of

00:20:04.380 multiple characters. You could say a Tucker, but especially an Alex Jones like Samuel.

00:20:10.700 And the question is, who is David? Who is going to be the young man? And here's the deal. We're

00:20:17.820 done with geriatric politics. We've got to be. We've got to be done with a gynocracy of, hey,

00:20:24.060 we've got something conservative to say. So quick, somebody find a busty blonde woman

00:20:29.540 in a pantsuit to stand up and say it for us because all the men are cowering and their

00:20:34.460 their knees are buckling no no it's got to be a man and it needs to be a man who preferably

00:20:41.340 doesn't have to have a walker who preferably doesn't have dementia who preferably you know

00:20:47.300 has more than just you know four or five years of life left a man who's under the age of 115

00:20:53.680 That would be nice. So a young man like David, a spirit of God departing from Saul, the prophet

00:21:01.220 of God, Samuel, who once loved Saul, now having to leave Saul, and there's a sadness and a grief

00:21:07.140 involved in it. Samuel doesn't want to leave Saul, but he has to stay true. His true loyalty is not

00:21:12.300 to Saul, but to the Lord. And then looking, where's the shepherd boy? Where's the shepherd boy

00:21:18.100 who by the Spirit of God, despite his own natural abilities, has had the strength and the power to

00:21:25.040 tear apart the lion, to conquer the bear, and one day will kill the giant to free Israel from its

00:21:31.840 captivity by the Philistines? Who is this boy? Who is it that the young men are running to to hide

00:21:38.980 out in the caves for now until God gives them grace and ascendancy and power? That's what's

00:21:44.860 going on. It's not Trump who is King Cyrus. It is Donald Trump who has turned into King Saul,

00:21:51.720 and we should be looking for who is David. Who can we throw our lot in with? Trump, like Saul,

00:21:59.660 changed the game, right? The time of the judges, there's no king in Israel. Every man does what's

00:22:05.220 right in his own eyes. But then God says, we're going to have a kingship. And even though there's

00:22:09.760 a sense in which asking for a king Israel even asking for a king was ultimately in some sense

00:22:15.900 it was a regression because God had been their king and they wanted a king to be like all the

00:22:21.220 other nations but here's the deal God could have said no he could have said no he said yes because

00:22:26.040 he knew that even though their motives were wrong in Israel to ask for a king that ultimately it was

00:22:30.820 his will to establish to move from the time of judges to a new time a new era in Israel the time

00:22:37.480 of the kings, and he appointed as his first king Saul. Saul ultimately became a traitor,

00:22:45.780 a traitor. And then the second king, now the kingship as a system is established, someone who

00:22:51.720 can go in like a wrecking ball, break down the previous systems of Israel, and establish order

00:22:57.380 and strong leadership. That new system under Saul is established, but Saul, even though he's ushering

00:23:03.960 in, inaugurating the right system, he's the wrong man. But the second guy after Saul who replaces

00:23:10.600 him, a guy that no one suspected, a guy who's not a part of Saul's fan club, he was early on,

00:23:18.580 but then later on Saul has jealousy and bitterness towards him, is lashing out against him,

00:23:23.300 throwing a spear to try to pin him to the wall. That guy becomes the next king in Israel,

00:23:28.560 and he's a man after God's own heart.

00:23:32.060 That's what I'm praying for.

00:23:33.880 I love my country.

00:23:35.360 I love America.

00:23:36.780 I want to see a David-like figure,

00:23:39.360 a guy who is zealous for the Lord,

00:23:41.900 a guy who has a warrior's heart,

00:23:44.000 a guy who also knows how to be tender

00:23:46.060 and a shepherd of sheep,

00:23:48.520 a guy who is small in his own eyes

00:23:50.780 and by the grace of God remains humble

00:23:53.340 to his dying day,

00:23:55.140 who can be a true king of Israel,

00:23:57.820 who can be a true leader, a great man in America, who can take the good of King Saul and the new

00:24:05.880 precedent that it started in Israel, but then be not just in the right new system, but the right

00:24:12.280 man who takes that, all the good, and expands it without the evil, without the Achilles heel,

00:24:19.740 without the pride, without the jealousy, without the betrayal. That's what we're looking for.

00:24:24.640 that's what we're going to be breaking down in today's episode tune in now one of the best

00:26:17.160 we're back we have a heck of an episode for you guys today we're going to be bringing receipts but

00:26:22.900 first we're going to start with a little bit of humor because i came in hot with that cold open

00:26:26.940 uh wes you just during that commercial you shared a joke with us and i wrote it down in my diary

00:26:31.920 uh wesley had a very funny joke today but i actually had thought of the joke before wes

00:26:36.280 and the cool thing is he thought about it because i first thought about it so this is mine

00:26:41.320 if it lands it's mine and if not antonio's joke through you coming out through me exactly but

00:26:46.300 We'll be watching the chat, and if people don't like the joke, then it really was Wesley's.

00:26:50.220 Well, here's the deal.

00:26:50.860 It's great news.

00:26:52.000 Guys, we got our wall.

00:26:54.460 We got it.

00:26:55.000 Trump promised it in 2016.

00:26:56.360 He's like, we are going to build a wall.

00:26:58.340 Now, the bad news is it is not a border wall in the south of Texas.

00:27:01.960 It is a wall of text, enough that you can't even see through your neighborhood.

00:27:06.860 Look at this wall of text.

00:27:07.860 I mean, my goodness.

00:27:09.280 Is this a James White tweet or a Donald Trump's post?

00:27:12.280 Instead of $4.3 billion, it was just 4.3 billion words.

00:27:16.580 4.3 billion characters.

00:27:19.020 I mean, no paragraph breaks.

00:27:21.300 There's probably periods in there somewhere I don't even know.

00:27:23.600 My goodness.

00:27:24.540 Just a rant.

00:27:25.200 And this is what we're going off of.

00:27:26.440 We don't have time.

00:27:27.360 I mean, we don't have three hours to sit here to read this whole thing.

00:27:30.200 But Trump basically attacking Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Candace Owens.

00:27:34.940 Those are the four named in that.

00:27:36.260 He calls them low IQ.

00:27:37.460 He calls Candace Owens ugly, which is a pretty low hit.

00:27:40.600 and so that's what we're referencing bankrupt alex jones all of that so that's what we're

00:27:45.620 referencing we don't have time to read it we got the wall it's not a border wall it is a wall of

00:27:50.640 text from the president himself it's a true social wall yeah yeah yeah so i i think uh the everyone's

00:27:56.580 talking about this on x obviously over the last couple days or at least since trump has posted

00:28:00.120 this um and and it's just pointing putting a little bit more clarity around the division i

00:28:05.500 think that's happened in MAGA between what Mark Levin would dub the new media, the woke

00:28:10.860 Reich, you know, you saw in the clip in the, in the, before the cold open and Laura Loomer

00:28:15.300 and, you know, this, this idea that these, the Candace's, the Alex's, the, you know,

00:28:21.620 the Tucker's, these people are fundamentally disloyal to Trump.

00:28:24.280 These are people who, who never were MAGA, actually Mark Levin all along with MAGA.

00:28:28.440 Well, I want to jump, I want to jump back to Trump 1.0.

00:28:31.440 I'm going to read a couple articles here, and you'll see actually very poignantly that that was never the case.

00:28:37.020 This is actually, you see in the thumbnail, why Trump changed.

00:28:40.100 We never did.

00:28:41.280 Well, this is going to become really clear.

00:28:42.980 So I'm going to jump back all the way to the 2016 election.

00:28:45.860 This is before November of 2016 when Trump was elected.

00:28:48.820 This is an article from Politico that was published on April 8th.

00:28:53.680 And it says, the hashtag NeverTrump movement just got another backer.

00:28:58.620 conservative radio host mark levin threatened on friday that he will not support donald trump in

00:29:03.580 the general election should he be the nominee levin a strong supporter of texas senator ted

00:29:08.340 cruz said that trump's allies had made the billionaire republican front runner toxic

00:29:13.160 quote as a result of what trump supporters have attempted here particularly roger stone who was

00:29:18.200 obviously the biggest trump backer early on in the primary i am not voting for donald trump

00:29:24.320 Period, Levin said.

00:29:26.340 I'll jump down a little bit.

00:29:27.780 He says, quote, so I want to congratulate Roger Stone.

00:29:31.160 And if anybody has a problem with that, Donald Trump, you can talk to Roger Stone.

00:29:36.100 These bully, dirty tricks, Nixonian tactics, they're only going to backfire.

00:29:41.460 So count me as never Trump.

00:29:44.760 He says later, if they piss me off one more time, I'm going to urge millions and millions of you.

00:29:49.780 Should he get the nomination not to vote for him either, Levin said.

00:29:54.140 Now, before we even talk about that, I'm going to jump over January 28th, 2016.

00:30:00.080 Let's read an article from Politico published by your own Tucker Carlson.

00:30:05.480 This is three months before Levin said he's never Trump.

00:30:09.000 And he says, conservative voters are being scolded.

00:30:12.060 Now, he's talking about conservative voters who were supporting Donald Trump at the time.

00:30:16.100 Conservative voters are being scolded for supporting a candidate

00:30:18.480 they consider conservative because it would be bad for conservatism and by the way the people

00:30:24.300 doing the scolding they're the ones who've been advocating for open borders nation building and

00:30:29.520 countries whose populations hate us and trade deals that eliminated jobs while enriching their

00:30:34.740 donors all while implicitly mocking the base for its worries about abortion gay marriage and the

00:30:41.060 pace of demographic change now they're telling their voters to shut up and obey and if they

00:30:46.380 don't they're liberal okay so he's talking about the gop establishment in 2016 for all those people

00:30:52.700 who are supporting supporting trump saying he's our guy on abortion he's our guy on gay marriage

00:30:56.980 he's our guy in terms of no more foreign wars he's our guy on white replacement they're being

00:31:03.100 scolded by the gop establishment what are they calling them liberal they're not conservative

00:31:08.640 they're woke right so so you have tucker carlson back in 2016 rightly identifying donald trump as

00:31:15.780 the guy for this segment of the party this this uh overlooked scolded chastised element of the

00:31:22.560 party and tucker carlson's recognizing trump speaking to that again the title of the article

00:31:26.920 is donald trump is shocking yes yes he's vulgar but he's right so so who changed here like if you

00:31:34.860 read these two things it's levin the neocon by the way levin constitutional conservative neocon

00:31:40.240 very hawkish always been a supporter of israel trump meanwhile back in 2016 if you remember was

00:31:45.640 getting a ton of flack for for having spoken out against the iraq war no more foreign wars but here

00:31:50.600 we are fast forward 10 years who's supporting the foreign war who's supporting israel who's hawkish

00:31:56.440 in the neocon foreign policy ben shapiro mark levin lindsey graham well lindsey graham just to

00:32:02.860 keep kind of playing out the tape here lindsey graham was a prominent never trumper in 2016

00:32:07.180 calling donald trump unfit for office a race-baiting xenophobic religious bigot literally

00:32:13.520 to the T every single one of these people hated him in 2016 they were against him now they're

00:32:19.120 singing his praises now they're MAGA no but now they're the core and like Tucker Tucker is like

00:32:23.560 all of a sudden we can't remember when he was saying the exact same things having the same

00:32:28.020 exact positions 10 years ago that he did today and somehow that's not MAGA anymore so so it's

00:32:34.480 like who changed right yeah I what sticks out to me is Trump calling them one of his specific

00:32:39.260 attacks against them, among many, was low IQ. These guys are low IQ. These guys are

00:32:45.120 dumb. And think about it. We just played the clip. Tucker Carlson is in Madison Square

00:32:49.480 Garden in November 2024, rallying for Trump. Back then, was he low IQ? So when he supported

00:32:56.380 you all these years, all the way back in 2016, all the way as recently as 2024, same

00:33:01.480 thing for Alex Jones, who has been in your court for a decade. Were they low IQ then?

00:33:05.420 It seems to be your IQ, some type of IQ as intelligence, that's the standard.

00:33:11.180 That doesn't change.

00:33:12.000 But apparently to Trump, you're low IQ if you're against him in any given moment.

00:33:16.200 And if you're for him at that moment, it doesn't matter what you did in the past,

00:33:19.020 if you're for him, you're high IQ.

00:33:20.800 That is such an arbitrary, subjective way to speak of people.

00:33:24.220 And just to even demonstrate, here's how people go about disagreements with maturity.

00:33:29.300 Grown men, and especially statesmen, they are going to have different opinions.

00:33:32.720 They're going to come across on different issues.

00:33:34.740 There's going to be things where they're together for a time.

00:33:36.560 Hey, we really agree when this is the big topic, but then it comes to a war.

00:33:39.900 It comes to something else, and we disagree.

00:33:42.220 You can do it with maturity.

00:33:43.800 You can do it without saying, hey, I think this person who I used to like is stupid.

00:33:47.180 I think they're dumb.

00:33:48.300 I think they're malevolent.

00:33:49.500 I think they're malicious.

00:33:50.700 You don't actually have to do this.

00:33:52.360 And a great example, for example, is Doug Wilson.

00:33:54.980 We have strong disagreements with Doug Wilson.

00:33:57.200 We'd even go so far as to say he's doing some damage and advocating that America, well,

00:34:02.320 hey, it's this Protestant Jewish project. There's things we strongly disagree with him on, and you

00:34:07.720 will not find us publicly or privately calling him dumb, calling him names, slandering him like that.

00:34:14.300 Now, you will actually find his son saying of Joel, it's a sin to be this dumb. So we've got

00:34:20.040 it from one side coming our direction, but we have severe disagreements with different men,

00:34:25.220 and yet we refuse to cast them out of the kingdom to say they're unsaved, to speak of them as dumb,

00:34:30.320 to insult their family to call them ugly that's how grown men disagree so grown men can disagree

00:34:35.660 and even trump could say hey i recognize there was a time when tucker carlson was in my court

00:34:39.620 i recognize when alex jones was in my court and i appreciate what they did for me then

00:34:43.680 however i disagree with them on the war and i think they should take a step back i'm the president

00:34:47.860 that's not what we're talking about here right you're not with me now on this latest thing

00:34:52.060 after 99 different endeavors you're an idiot you're how could i have ever trusted low iq

00:34:57.160 loser in all caps um bankrupt yeah like bankrupt mocking mocking the fact that alex jones i mean

00:35:05.100 he's been financially destroyed absolutely destroyed the settlement is in the billions

00:35:10.120 one of the largest settlements ever for not even anything kinetic that he did just for a story

00:35:15.540 he'll never be able to own anything ever again uh he may be able to stay on the air uh but he'll

00:35:21.240 have to be a part of a new company as an employee. He won't be able to be an owner of one of them

00:35:27.320 as it affects like his children and their inheritance, all those kinds of things.

00:35:31.920 Massive sacrifice has been made. And you can say, well, Alex did it to himself. I've seen a lot of

00:35:37.000 guys say he did it to himself with, you know, the remarks he made about the Sandy Hook. And yeah,

00:35:41.860 he was wrong about that. He apologized for that. He he's walked that back. But here's the deal.

00:35:46.700 A lot of times people just look at what's on the surface and they won't give credence to the very

00:35:51.900 You know substantive reality underneath the surface

00:35:56.140 People came after alex jones on the surface because of what he said about sandy hook

00:36:01.420 If it but if you think that he would have the same ire

00:36:05.920 Targeted against him had he not

00:36:08.900 Worked so hard to get trump into office

00:36:12.780 had he not been a mouthpiece of trump an advocate of trump a fighter for trump if it hadn't been for

00:36:18.880 alex's close association and partnership with donald trump um i i don't think that alex would

00:36:25.000 have gotten the same degree of hostility uh for the sandy hook situation you have to recognize

00:36:31.220 that part of the lawfare and the people behind it who were fueling it and funding it and supporting

00:36:36.620 it and all those kinds of things are people who hate donald trump um i get hate mail all the time

00:36:42.320 It's funny. Nobody actually, you know, the people who hate me don't actually watch our show.

00:36:46.440 They just they just hate me because they've seen one tweet taken out of context, you know, from six months ago or whatever it is.

00:36:53.040 And I'll get letters all the time. And every single one of them, it's not about me.

00:36:57.320 I'm just a proxy in their minds for the, you know, the people with Joel Webin derangement syndrome.

00:37:02.580 I'm just a proxy for Trump. And here we are for like the last, you know, several months.

00:37:07.400 we've been some of the harshest critics of Trump. We appreciate what God did through him.

00:37:13.240 We're praying for him. We're hoping that there's a change of heart. But at the same time,

00:37:18.280 we're calling balls and strikes and saying, look, this is not a just war. We should not have bombed

00:37:23.100 Iran. We should not have done this. We should not have done that. And so we're willing to criticize

00:37:27.400 him. We've been some of the strongest critics out there for the last several months. And I still get

00:37:33.280 hate mail and with the hate mail, it's not just Joel Webb and you said this, and this is why I

00:37:38.080 hate you. It's a, you said this. And then quickly it would be like one sentence, but it's a whole

00:37:43.080 wall of text, you know, it's a whole letter. Um, and it's like one sentence of something that I

00:37:47.800 said in a clip or some tweet that I sent, you know, several months back. And then the rest of

00:37:51.960 the letter is, and you, you probably support that, uh, that pedophile Trump, you know, and, and, um,

00:37:58.960 and you, you love Trump and you, I can't even repeat some of the things he'll say, but like

00:38:03.000 lots of curse words and crude, you know, perverse language of, you know, you do this with Trump and

00:38:08.240 you, and I'm sitting here, you know, reading it, you know, like just getting a chuckle out of it

00:38:13.360 thinking, dude, I, I've been calling Trump to the mat for several months now on multiple occasions

00:38:22.280 publicly. It's, it's funny because it's like this leftist, you know, hates me, but, but their,

00:38:27.320 their ire against me my point is so much of it is fueled by what they perceive as my support of

00:38:34.800 trump and it's the same with alex jones alex jones he messed up on sandy hook he's been apologizing

00:38:40.700 profusely for it and doing everything he can to to wrong that uh or to to right that wrong um ever

00:38:47.660 since for multiple years now um and yet none of the law fair uh has let up at all and when you

00:38:54.800 look beneath the surface of the different organizations behind it that are funding this

00:39:00.200 whole campaign against Alex Jones, it is in large part because of Alex Jones and his support over

00:39:07.180 the past decade for Donald Trump. You can literally say without hyperbole or exaggeration that Alex

00:39:14.280 Jones has been in a three-year process of having his entire life and everything he's built ripped

00:39:22.860 apart in large part because of his love and support for donald trump and then donald trump

00:39:28.420 puts out um a a tweet like this not just saying hey it'd be one thing if trump said listen you

00:39:36.120 guys have supported me i'm grateful for you but you've got to to stand back and stand by um and

00:39:42.760 and trust me let me cook i'm the president of the united states i'm privy to information that you

00:39:48.520 don't have i'm seeing some of the things and you've got to know that i love this country and

00:39:54.400 give me a moment let me cook give me a moment that would be one thing but he didn't just do that

00:39:59.720 instead what he did was he came out um insult after insult cruel you're losers you're low iq

00:40:07.920 he takes alex jones life being financially destroyed and ripped apart and adds it in the

00:40:13.180 tweet bankrupt alex jones a guy who literally on his behalf pretty much on that's my whole point

00:40:18.960 bankrupt why because he missed it with sandy hook yes on the surface that's true but underneath it

00:40:25.280 um i he would not be in a lawsuit for billions of dollars being sued he'd be sued yep he'd have

00:40:33.680 some penalties but he would have it'd be a setback but he would have survived and kept going but this

00:40:38.360 is one of the biggest lawsuits of like a clown, comical amount of money. And that is the depth,

00:40:48.900 the intensity of this lawsuit is in large part because of his support of Trump. And so Trump is

00:40:54.500 going to say, you are taking bullets, right? Trump was supposed to be the guy who took bullets for

00:40:58.800 us. And now he's turning and saying, you've been taking for three years bullets for me,

00:41:03.900 and i'm going to mock you in your bankruptcy um that it's and i just as a point of fact it's like

00:41:10.960 the comments were made in december right after the sandy hook massacre december of 2012 and then

00:41:16.880 further in 2023 he called it a government operation this this is basically the focus

00:41:21.180 of a lawsuit that was opened in austin texas in 2018 by the way so in trump's trump 1.0 his first

00:41:27.300 administration uh trump so comments in 2013 trump appears during the election uh the primary election

00:41:34.180 on alex jones show what would that be 2016 the clip that we put 2015 2015 trump no no thoughts

00:41:41.020 then what about in april 2018 when the lawsuit was filed did trump come out and condemn alex jones

00:41:45.720 then did he have this feeling of oh this is so terrible and heinous and you need to be bankrupted

00:41:50.380 for this no he didn't have it it's clearly political and and the most frustrating thing

00:41:54.720 personal this isn't derangement syndrome this isn't like going back to your point this isn't

00:41:59.180 us looking at trump and saying you are failing on every front you're failing in so many ways

00:42:03.900 you've turned your back and no matter what you do from here on out we hate you that's not what

00:42:08.600 this is this is us actually as formerly being trump's base on all of these different issues

00:42:13.400 domestic predominantly uh demographic change open borders um america first policy no foreign wars

00:42:20.200 We're literally looking at you and saying, you're not being consistent on these things.

00:42:24.620 We want you to focus on the things you ran on.

00:42:28.420 And that's where all of this backlash of, well, you're disloyal.

00:42:32.580 That's what it's coming from.

00:42:33.800 That's right.

00:42:34.180 Not derangement central.

00:42:34.700 And this is not just subjective.

00:42:36.140 It's not just, oh, this is our opinion.

00:42:37.700 This is Mark Rubio.

00:42:38.880 This is J.D. Vance.

00:42:40.340 There's been several people in close proximity from the White House who have come out and said, yeah, Israel dragged us into this war.

00:42:48.140 We're talking about the Wall Street Journal.

00:42:49.400 we'll talk we're talking about the in new york times we're talking like this is um this is just

00:42:54.420 reality everybody knows that this is reality that we overstepped um our jurisdiction we went in too

00:43:00.960 hot um into a situation that we should not have been involved in at least at that caliber uh we

00:43:07.380 were told all the way back in july of 2025 that you know they're two weeks away from nuclear and

00:43:13.160 then we sent our our bunker busters you know our bombs and all this kind of stuff and we were told

00:43:19.000 that that was winning, so much winning, you won't be able, you'll say, please, Mr. President,

00:43:24.340 I can't handle any more winning, you know, and then we're going to win some more. And we were

00:43:28.320 told that we won, that we completely decoupled and destroyed Iran's ability to attain any kind

00:43:38.580 of nuclear power. And then all of a sudden, less than a year later, we're doing it again. And then

00:43:44.400 you have high up White House, you know, appointees in Trump's administration, like Mark Rubio saying

00:43:51.640 on live air, you know, the Freudian slip. Yeah, Israel pulled us into this. We bombed Iran the

00:43:58.240 second time now in 2026, because we knew that if we didn't, then Israel would and they wouldn't

00:44:03.220 get the job done. And so then there'd be return fire on U.S. bases, our own military, our own

00:44:08.320 staffers, they would be caught up as collateral and casualties. And so they're saying it out

00:44:14.320 loud. And then we get the two-week ceasefire. And immediately, Israel starts bombing the living

00:44:20.620 hell out of Lebanon, which has 40% Christians, by the way, in their population. And Iran is saying,

00:44:28.420 well, wait a second. We agreed to a ceasefire for two weeks, but you're bombing Lebanon. And then

00:44:33.680 the White House comes out. Lebanon was never part of the deal. And then Iran comes out and shows

00:44:38.300 that Lebanon actually was mentioned. It actually was mentioned. And then you have Trump, the latest

00:44:44.040 news going and talking to Netanyahu. Like, could you, could you please stop destroying any chance

00:44:49.980 of peace we possibly have to which, you know, the, the, the reports are that Netanyahu responded by

00:44:55.720 saying, yeah, we'll bomb them low key. We'll, so we'll, we'll low key kill Christians in Lebanon

00:45:00.840 from now on, you know, wink, wink. And so here's the deal. The deal is Tucker Carlson doesn't hate

00:45:08.300 Donald Trump. Alex Jones doesn't hate Donald Trump. Candace Owens doesn't hate Donald Trump.

00:45:15.220 They hate this war. And by the White House's own admission, it was a mistake. Trump got bad

00:45:23.300 counsel. That's the fact. That is the fact. Trump got bad counsel from worm tongue in his ear,

00:45:30.640 all the miga, you know, make Israel great again counselors that wormed their way into MAGA,

00:45:36.180 into trump's good graces he listened to them instead of his original loyal supporters made

00:45:42.300 a mistake in geopolitics with the war in iran and now say hey you know what we're winning again we

00:45:47.760 got the ceasefire the strait of hormuz is going to be oh it's open again stonks go up right and

00:45:53.420 you see the spy and the nasdaq and the dow going through the roof yesterday meanwhile you can read

00:45:59.140 the reports how many ships have gone through oh 11 uh how many of them are oil tankers none

00:46:05.920 cargo ships. Okay. Well, what's it going to be? Maybe, you know, it just takes a while to get

00:46:09.780 it started. It's the first day, 15 ships a day. All right. 15 ships were winning. What was it

00:46:14.520 previously before Trump bombed Iran? Oh, 130. Oh, and you might have to pay $2 million tolls

00:46:21.400 for every ship. We won. Wait, you're saying we got the same deal that we already had before we

00:46:26.640 did anything, except now we lost tax dollars, American lives with our service members. And we

00:46:32.680 have to pay money and take less ships through the and that's winning with winning like this who

00:46:37.600 needs losing you know what i mean and so here's the point trump could simply say you know what i

00:46:42.500 got bad counsel you know what he should be doing he should have come out and fired everyone who

00:46:47.720 gave him counsel to bomb iran and say you know what i miss this one and here's here's the big

00:46:53.480 deal all the guys that trump is blasting who were his greatest advocates for a decade

00:46:59.660 right when mark levin and ben shapiro and all these guys were saying that trump is um a dictator

00:47:06.180 and trump is neo-fascist neo-fascist nazi you know all that like the guys who were actually

00:47:11.320 in trump's corner from the very very beginning they don't hate trump they hate the war they

00:47:16.820 criticize it harshly and they were right and the white house itself has come out and said

00:47:22.540 yeah we kind of we got bad counsel we got bad intel from israel we got drug into the war

00:47:28.580 we overstepped the deal that we have now maybe peace is coming but it'll be peace with a price

00:47:34.820 tag attached to it from now on whereas before we didn't have to pay it it's not good for america

00:47:40.300 you know we we messed up trump could simply have come out and said look you're not criticizing me

00:47:45.720 you're not saying i'm a loser you're not saying i'm low iq you're not saying i'm bankrupt you're

00:47:51.060 not saying i'm an idiot you're saying this decision all this good but this decision was bad

00:47:58.200 please mr president listen to reason and stop and trump could have come out and said i see that i

00:48:04.060 see that you're not critiquing me as a person you're critiquing this decision and i realize i

00:48:09.320 got bad counsel and we're pivoting and these guys who gave me the bad counsel you guys are fired

00:48:14.760 he could have done that right instead he's like you guys are idiots doubles down and you know what

00:48:21.980 classic trump yeah i mean gotta be honest uh they want they tried to call me i never answered their

00:48:27.660 calls it's it's just so submissive all right real quick uh knickknacks guys you you gotta you gotta

00:48:32.960 check these out all right it's like knickknack tic-tac knickknack polywack give a dog a bone

00:48:36.920 these are incredible products and i know the guys behind it um and they are super super based uh

00:48:43.740 they are um they are not uh gop neocon they are right wing christ is king america first guys um

00:48:52.660 you can see i mean it's hard because you know the camera we'd have to zoom way in but basically the

00:48:57.640 logo right here on knickknacks is a foot crushing the head of a serpent, right? That's not a

00:49:02.820 coincidence. That is not just America first, that's Christ first. That's Christ is King. That's the

00:49:08.540 imagery of Jesus, the promised seed of the woman, her offspring, who would one day come and though

00:49:15.620 the serpent would strike his heel, he would crush its head. So you've got literally a gospel

00:49:20.780 proclamation, Christus Victor right here on the front of the product. And like Tic Tacs, like I

00:49:26.980 said for a moment in the beginning, they're different because they're not pouches. I like

00:49:30.340 pouches. I like Alp. I think Alp's a good product. There's a lot of good nicotine pouches out there,

00:49:36.220 but sometimes it's nice to not have a soggy pouch just sitting in your mouth forever until you

00:49:42.060 eventually have to spit it out. These dissolve. They take about 15, 20 minutes, probably about

00:49:47.220 20 minutes, and you would put them in the same placement in your mouth as you would a nicotine

00:49:51.460 pouch, and it will just slowly dissolve. There's no waste. There's nothing synthetic in your mouth.

00:49:56.840 It's all natural. The ingredients are incredible. The sensation is incredible. The company,

00:50:04.020 the guys behind it are absolutely incredible. And by supporting Knickknack, you are supporting us.

00:50:09.920 If you buy their product, they will continue to sponsor this show. If they sponsor this show,

00:50:14.660 we can keep making the show. It is that simple. So if you don't have money to directly fund and

00:50:19.680 help us, well, then if you're already using nicotine, at least give Knickknack a try,

00:50:25.240 right so we're not asking you to spend more money we're asking you to spend the same money that you

00:50:29.400 would normally spend on your nicotine product but try a different company that's america-based

00:50:34.660 that's christian christ-centered and that supports our show so that we can stay in the fights you can

00:50:40.780 use my promo code i believe it's uh joel 20 exclamation joel 20 because it's 20 off right

00:50:47.620 a lot of guys you know they're shilling different products everybody's got to do it i get it uh but

00:50:52.120 a lot of times it's 10% off. This is, this is double that. This is 20% off. So if you're already

00:50:57.100 buying nicotine, if you don't have a nicotine habit, then I'm not telling you, you need to

00:51:00.220 start one. Um, but if you're somebody who uses nicotine and uses it responsibly, try this

00:51:05.360 product, try knickknack and use Joel 20 exclamation point. It's all caps, J O E L 20

00:51:12.420 exclamation point. That's the promo code. You will literally buy something you're already buying,

00:51:17.080 except you'll save money with 20% off

00:51:19.660 and you'll fund our show

00:51:21.060 and you'll be funding an American-first

00:51:23.840 Christ is King company.

00:51:25.700 I don't see the downside.

00:51:27.800 It means a lot to us.

00:51:29.220 It means a lot to them.

00:51:30.580 Give it a shot.

00:51:31.600 All right.

00:51:31.860 Great.

00:51:32.520 Well, Trump is not that guy.

00:51:34.920 We thought for a moment that he would be the great man.

00:51:37.060 He would restore the fall that America's been in,

00:51:39.540 the decline of the American regime,

00:51:41.240 but he was the precursor.

00:51:42.520 And unlike him, we can say Trump did a lot of good.

00:51:45.200 He really did.

00:51:45.740 We supported his election in 2024.

00:51:48.360 There was a lot he did good, especially in his first term, but he's not that guy.

00:51:51.860 And one of his besetting sins is his ego, is his pride.

00:51:55.960 Why do Mark Levin, why do Lindsey Graham, why do Randy Fine, why do Laura Loomer, why

00:51:59.820 do they have such access to him?

00:52:01.860 Because they flatter him.

00:52:03.100 I think of the story we've actually used a lot as we talk about it is Theoden in Lord

00:52:06.980 of the Rings.

00:52:07.620 He's a king and he's great, but he comes under bad counsel through Wormtongue and his mind

00:52:11.800 is poisoned, and he's poisoned by his advisors, by his side that turn him even against his own

00:52:18.140 son, even against those that support him. And so Trump's been lied to, the advisors beside him have

00:52:23.940 given him terrible advice, and so we look forward to who's going to come next, who's going to pick

00:52:28.560 up the mantle, and we pray that that same character flaw, the pride, the ego, the willingness to bring

00:52:34.520 the people in that say, how great are you, O King, that he has the wisdom and the character and the

00:52:39.560 virtue to say, I'm not going to listen to you. I'm not going to be flattered. I'm going to be

00:52:43.620 humble if I make a mistake. That's the man who will actually restore our American empire.

00:52:48.540 Correct. The way that you could say it is this. Trump had the courage, but he didn't have the

00:52:51.800 moral compass. He had the courage, but not the compass, not the conviction, right? Courage,

00:52:56.620 but not conviction. At the end of the day, Trump's convictions are 1990s liberal Democrat from New

00:53:03.580 York convictions. They are, they're the convictions of a guy that you would assume you would expect

00:53:09.320 who would pose with Phil Helmuth or Hugh Hefner, you know, with a playboy or, you know, the guy

00:53:17.100 who would be on, you know, his third marriage or the guy like, those are the convictions.

00:53:21.980 He bragged about Jeffrey Epstein liking young girls. Now in that category, young would have

00:53:25.640 been like 18 and older, but like, that was kind of funny. Like I got this friend, he really likes

00:53:29.280 sleeping with young girls. Right. Yeah. That's gross. Yeah. That's, that's not good. Not good.

00:53:33.980 So the point is, and by the way, I'll say this, you can tell that you do not have the

00:53:42.080 popular sentiment behind you with this war when your wife is thinking, you know what,

00:53:46.460 we should change the subject, let's talk about Epstein.

00:53:49.660 When your wife is saying, Epstein might be actually a better look for us than continuing

00:53:54.240 to talk about Iran, right?

00:53:56.040 That was not a winner, but it's better than this.

00:53:57.980 That's how you know you're not winning.

00:53:59.200 So the point is this, Trump, we got to give credit where credit is due.

00:54:03.120 he had courage and he's the first major politician in my lifetime that actually had grit that had

00:54:10.700 courage and god used him and he did a lot of good and i'm grateful for that and i here's the deal

00:54:16.440 this is what i'm trying to display here at the end um we can't criticize trump for turning on

00:54:21.500 a dime and saying these guys who always loved me and i always claimed to love them well now it

00:54:25.760 turns out that these guys have never done anything well they're low iq they've always been stupid

00:54:29.780 exactly so let's let's not fight fire with fire let's not do the same thing so i don't want to

00:54:35.080 turn and say now that trump is doing a few things that i don't like although they're big things um

00:54:39.940 trump has has always been terrible and he's he's never this and he's no we can we can actually

00:54:46.440 chew gum and walk at the same time we can say god used donald j trump and he used him in multiple

00:54:52.640 ways. He's the best president so far of my lifetime. Um, he had courage in spades, but he

00:55:00.060 doesn't have the strong Christian conviction. And, um, and we're praying that, that God would raise

00:55:06.400 up a man after his own heart who has both, both courage and conviction. There have been guys with

00:55:11.540 conviction, Mike Pence. Like I'll, I'll be honest, the dude won't even, you know, wouldn't even host

00:55:17.240 a a meeting with um a woman um in isolation alone i actually think that's good yeah i like that

00:55:23.960 mike pence had conviction you know what he didn't have courage trump has courage but it doesn't

00:55:31.880 really seem like he has conviction right he's against abortion and then abortion is not really

00:55:35.640 that big deal of a deal you know he's i'm gonna release the epstein but oh epstein you're still

00:55:40.300 talking about that you're still talking about that you know or oh um uh mass deportations and

00:55:47.360 like uh no you're not going to get mass deportation telling a republican congressman to stop talking

00:55:52.760 about it leading up to the midterm talking about yeah stop mentioning it's not happening so there

00:55:56.640 have been guys you know good old boys in the gop who are against abortion and gay marriage like

00:56:02.680 they have conviction but zero spine zero courage and then finally on the backdrop in that context

00:56:10.140 in the backdrop of a political landscape with zero men of courage. A guy with courage looks

00:56:16.740 really good. And Trump really looked good. And he really did a lot of good, objectively. And I

00:56:22.540 praise God for it. Mr. President, I'm grateful for the good that you have done. But you don't need

00:56:29.460 just conviction without courage or just courage without conviction. You've got to have both

00:56:33.460 conviction and a compass, courage and a compass, courage and conviction. And I don't know, I'm

00:56:39.400 just going to be honest, if I had to bet right now, the David-type figure, I don't think he comes

00:56:45.360 in 2028. I think it's probably a little bit too soon. I think we're probably going to have to

00:56:50.420 experience a little bit more pain before the people are ready, before America is ready to say,

00:56:57.300 no, we've experienced enough of God's rod of discipline because of our own choices,

00:57:02.580 our own rebellion. We're ready to repent now, and God gives us a better king as an act of mercy,

00:57:09.400 Um, so I don't know if he's coming in 2028. It may be later 2020, uh, 2032 for some reason for a while

00:57:16.340 now has felt that's just, I don't know that I felt strongly about 2032. Uh, but the point is we need

00:57:22.040 a guy. We had guys with conviction, but zero courage. We finally got a guy with courage, but

00:57:26.780 not a lot of conviction. We need the guy who has both and, uh, and for him to come, we as a nation

00:57:33.120 need to be prepared. Uh, we need to repent and we're probably sadly, because we are a stiff

00:57:39.320 necked and rebellious people. We have apostatized from the Lord Jesus Christ. We're probably going

00:57:44.240 to have to experience a little bit more of God's judgment first before we actually turn the tide

00:57:49.200 and actually deserve the kind of president, the kind of leader that we've been talking about on

00:57:54.560 this show. Right now, I don't think we get that leader because I think we probably get the leader

00:57:58.960 we deserve. And the truth is we deserve another lousy leader because we have been a lousy people.

00:58:04.760 We have not loved the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind.

00:58:09.200 We have not humbled ourselves and called out to God and prayed unto Him that He might heal our

00:58:14.880 land. We have not done these things. We've had this thin Christian veneer, Christ is King,

00:58:20.420 which is true. We say it all the time. We mean it. A lot of guys say it, and they don't mean it.

00:58:26.180 We're shifting back to right wing, but it's America first, heavy, Christ is King light.

00:58:36.140 And I don't think that that movement gets you a David.

00:58:40.520 Because David is not just has a heart for his people, but he's a man after God's own heart.

00:58:46.980 If we don't have the people, then I don't know if we're going to get the man.

00:58:51.040 And so my prayer is that God would continue to chastise us, although it hurts,

00:58:56.220 that it would drive us as a nation, as a people to repentance,

00:58:59.540 and that he would provide a leader for us in his due time

00:59:03.960 who has both courage and conviction

00:59:06.500 that it would be a David-type guy and not a Saul-type guy.

00:59:11.580 I pray that God would give courage to guys like Alex Jones,

00:59:15.320 guys like Tucker Carlson.

00:59:18.380 And that said, again, I just want to say here,

00:59:20.540 I'm grateful for Tucker, I'm grateful for Alex.

00:59:22.800 That doesn't mean we agree with everything.

00:59:24.740 I think that Tucker has been on point with 9 out of 10

00:59:29.400 of the things that he's been saying when it comes to the war, when it comes to things about China

00:59:33.720 even. People don't want to, oh, you're a traitor to America. No, he's a realist. He's a realist.

00:59:39.040 The things he's saying, look at history and the way that things historically shake out. Tucker is

00:59:44.620 on it. That said, one example where I'd like to see Tucker beef up his rhetoric and grow. I think

00:59:52.780 that you can be hard on Israel because it's a massive problem. It is a mass Zionism. A Zionist

00:59:59.160 occupied American government is what we currently have, and it is a millstone around our neck. It's

01:00:06.440 dragging us to the bottom of the sea, and Tucker has been nailing it. That said, in order to make

01:00:12.220 that point, you don't have to be soft on Islam. You don't. So I'm saying these things at the end.

01:00:18.760 The only reason I'm saying them is I like Tucker.

01:00:21.420 I'm grateful for Tucker.

01:00:23.120 I really like Alex.

01:00:24.880 Grateful for Alex.

01:00:25.880 The only reason I'm saying these things at the end

01:00:27.400 is not to disparage Tucker.

01:00:29.280 It's not to disparage Alex.

01:00:30.780 But there's just right now

01:00:31.980 in the larger social media landscape,

01:00:35.380 in the news, in the public square,

01:00:37.460 you've just got glazing.

01:00:39.720 Just shameless, unbridled.

01:00:43.560 It's the new MAGA, Mark Levin,

01:00:46.240 glaze laura loomer glazing of trump and he can do no wrong and then you've got glazing of candace

01:00:53.100 and tucker and they can do no and we want to sit here and say look on this issue with the war in

01:00:59.480 iran and how things are currently shaking out um i'm on team tucker i'm not on team trump and so

01:01:08.200 i'm not just i don't want to do the third way middleman i'm above it all no i'm not above it

01:01:12.860 all. We have a country currently hanging the balance. My children are going to grow up in

01:01:19.280 this country. I'm not going to sit here and be a pietist and be above it all. No, I'm picking a

01:01:24.200 side. I'm picking a team. America first. That's my team. I pick America first over MAGA, right? No,

01:01:30.860 no qualifiers. That's it. That said with America first, I'm not going to do with America first

01:01:37.760 what all the new MAGA candidates like Laura Loomer are doing with MAGA and Trump, glazing him no

01:01:43.860 matter what, speaking in his ear, using flattery. Oh, you're so great. You've never done anything

01:01:49.160 wrong. You could do no wrong. I'm not going to do that over here. So I have a team. I'm not sitting

01:01:54.160 there doing the splits in the middle above it all. America first. I'm with Tucker Carlson over

01:01:59.880 Donald Trump, period. I am. That said, Tucker, because that's the team I picked, that's the team

01:02:07.520 that I'm going, as a friend, friend-enemy distinction, I'm not going to do it as I would

01:02:11.500 when I critique the left, I critique them as enemies, because they are. They are enemies of

01:02:17.780 America, enemies of Christ, enemies of my wife and children and future posterity. I'm not going to

01:02:23.000 level that kind of rhetoric that I would level against the left, against Tucker Carlson, because

01:02:28.340 he's a friend. We're on the same team. That said, I'm also not going to be, as Laura Loomer is to

01:02:34.200 trump i'm not going to be to an alex jones or tucker carlson i'm going to say tucker you're

01:02:39.100 nailing it so so glad to see this also islam um is not our friend they're not our friend

01:02:47.280 they worship a false god and and islam not just religiously is it a false religion that damns

01:02:53.320 people to hell but but also philosophically in terms of not just religion but civilization

01:02:58.880 it is incompatible with the west islam is is it's not just false doctrine and wrong it is

01:03:05.760 holy i'm not h-o-l-y but w-h-o-l-l-y it is holy entirely eastern islam um islam has no place in

01:03:18.480 america it cannot coexist in america it can't so all that being said there are things balls and

01:03:26.020 strikes everywhere you look um but if you want to follow a group that we too have our faults we have

01:03:33.080 our flaws we're not perfect we're learning as god sanctifies us as we grow in spiritual maturity

01:03:39.180 but if you want to follow a group that actually will admit when we're wrong we've done that

01:03:43.960 by the grace of god all glory goes to god but i have publicly admitted on multiple occasions when

01:03:49.700 i got it wrong i've never heard trump say that he got something wrong and to be fair uh most

01:03:55.740 public figures like 99 of them i've never heard them admit when they got something wrong but if

01:04:01.520 you want to follow a group that's willing to not just glaze one team over the other but at the same

01:04:06.520 time isn't isn't laissez-faire you know above it all and we have no team you know like no we we have

01:04:13.560 a team america first christ is king we're working with them we have the friend enemy distinction

01:04:19.980 but even on our team we're willing to call balls and strikes and when we get it wrong

01:04:25.320 we'll publicly admit it on air i like paul says he's like i must be out of my mind to speak like

01:04:32.340 this but uh humor a little fool's talk for a moment um i don't i don't know any any group any

01:04:38.520 anybody any christian group that is doing a podcast in the public square speaking to politics

01:04:43.680 and culture that fits that bill. Willing to pick a team unapologetically, but also not glazing them

01:04:52.380 relentlessly, shamelessly, insufferably, and also willing to admit when they themselves get things

01:04:58.220 wrong. There's just not a lot of guys in the space currently doing that who are America first,

01:05:04.440 America only, and yet at the same time, Christ is king, but not just as a sarcastic slur.

01:05:09.880 actually mean it. I'm not trying to disparage you, but I am not a single man

01:05:18.140 who is kind of, you know, privately light on morality, but uses Christ as King in America

01:05:26.940 first and big in my rhetoric. I'm not. I'm almost 40 years old. I am the husband of but one wife.

01:05:35.900 I have five children. I'm a father on the weekends. You'll find me playing in the backyard on the

01:05:42.960 jungle gym with my kids. Um, I'm a, a, a local pastor. I actually have real people, flesh and

01:05:49.900 blood, brick and mortar, not just online, but I have, um, I have a few hundred people in my life,

01:05:56.760 in my local church. I'm doing marriage counseling. Um, I'm seeking to love the people of God

01:06:03.900 tangibly in front of me not just social media um we we're not uh the pagan right we're not

01:06:13.440 but we are unapologetically right-wing we are not uh we are not conservative liberals

01:06:20.260 we're not conservative liberals we are right-wing return to nature despise egalitarianism race

01:06:27.580 realists, J-pilled, patriarchal, no more boss-babe women leading the way, America first, but also

01:06:36.640 Christ is King, a set of morals, on the ground, local accountability in our local church, family

01:06:43.900 men with wives and children, willing to pick a side and not be above it all, but criticize as a

01:06:51.460 friend would our own side and publicly admit when we get it wrong. If there's a bunch of other
