Riots broke out across the streets of Los Angeles on Sunday night, and police responded with tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. But what s really going on in the streets isn t just about immigration. It s about a growing divide between those who believe our national identity should be preserved, and those who insist that it must be deconstructed.

00:00:00.000 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.
00:00:03.960 I get it.
00:00:04.620 It's annoying.
00:00:05.380 Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.
00:00:07.660 When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm so that
00:00:12.440 our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.
00:00:16.280 You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries
00:00:20.820 aren't.
00:00:21.860 We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.
00:00:30.000 this past weekend federal agents raided businesses across los angeles two home depots a clothing
00:00:38.940 wholesaler and more arresting over a hundred illegal immigrants hours later mass protesters
00:00:45.940 blocked freeways torched federal vehicles and hurled fireworks at lapd officers the streets of
00:00:54.000 LA didn't just erupt, they revealed something. We're not just arguing over immigration
00:00:59.940 enforcement, we're staring down a deeper crisis. Whether America still has the will to define who
00:01:07.160 it is, and the honesty to acknowledge who it has been. For decades, California has quietly built
00:01:15.080 a legal scaffolding designed to shield itself from federal immigration enforcement. From SB 54
00:01:22.560 to sanctuary city ordinances, local jurisdictions don't defy federal law outright. Instead,
00:01:29.920 they maneuver around it. Now, cities like Glendale are cutting ties with ICE while
00:01:37.220 taxpayer-funded activist groups rally thousands to disrupt deportations, all of it being legal,
00:01:45.680 all of it coordinated, and all of it pointing to a growing divide between those who believe
00:01:51.940 our national identity should be preserved, and those who insist that it must be deconstructed.
00:01:58.800 Supporters of these sanctuary policies argue that they reflect compassion and community trust,
00:02:05.420 but what's being obscured beneath that language is something far more consequential,
00:02:10.400 a moral unwillingness to distinguish citizen from foreigner, and political unwillingness
00:02:17.440 to enforce the boundaries that make a nation a nation. We are watching our nation lose its will 0.68
00:02:25.540 to be itself. This is more than a clash over immigration. It's a struggle over whether the
00:02:32.200 American nation has the right to protect its own integrity or whether it must yield to a new order
00:02:40.160 that treats enforcement as cruelty and national loyalty as a shame. These protests, these raids,
00:02:49.980 this chaos, none of it is happening in a vacuum. It is the fruit of a generation taught to despise
00:02:57.100 the very idea of national inheritance. This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors,
00:03:04.500 Armored Republic, and Reese Fund, as well as our Patreon members and our generous donors.

00:03:26.540 So today, we're going to examine what's really driving the riots in LA,
00:03:31.440 the legal infrastructure that allows states to resist federal enforcement legally,
00:03:37.240 and most importantly, the theological and moral failure to love our own people rightly.
00:03:44.200 Stay tuned.
00:03:53.000 All right, here we are, here we are.
00:03:55.860 This episode is dealing with things that are happening right now.
00:04:00.740 I think these things, the riots just broke out yesterday.
00:04:03.440 Is that right?
00:04:05.280 Talked about yesterday.
00:04:06.260 They're on the way now.
00:04:07.260 They're being mobilized.
00:04:08.460 And yeah.
00:04:09.480 So tonight will probably be another big night of riots.
00:04:11.880 There are three spontaneous riots planned in at least three more cities tonight is what I heard.
00:04:18.460 Really?
00:04:19.060 Please let it be Georgetown.
00:04:20.840 Spontaneously planned.
00:04:21.720 Send me in.
00:04:23.800 So yeah.
00:04:24.560 So this has just been breaking out in the last 24 hours.
00:04:27.180 i'm sure that many of our listeners have seen the photos that are circulating online um these are
00:04:33.580 riots um they're not mostly peaceful they weren't mostly peaceful back in 2020 um but you know we
00:04:40.740 had the race riots of 2020 we currently have the immigration riots you know that are happening in
00:04:45.060 2025 uh you have vehicles that are set on fire you have people standing on the top of vehicles
00:04:51.180 waving you know mexico flags while masked and uh wearing body armor um this uh this is absolutely
00:04:59.640 we haven't done a plug in a while but this is if you don't have your vest and you don't have your
00:05:03.640 plates that's true and if you don't have the new are they available joel ballistic shields
00:05:07.300 yeah let me grab one real quick what are you even doing with your life like you right you
00:05:12.800 you need to go to armor republic you need to have it check this out
00:05:16.060 sometimes
00:05:19.740 you know david sometimes you just you gotta rock two shields you know just a little
00:05:28.120 double shield action you know but uh these are uh 3a and they could probably uh from guys that
00:05:36.620 i've talked to who know these sorts of things they could probably take one to two rounds of uh an ar
00:05:42.800 um and then you know they're eventually going to break there's there's no question that's why
00:05:48.340 yeah yeah so they're not that light but probably it's probably like about 20 uh 12 to 20 pounds
00:05:54.680 probably 12 pounds about 8 to 10 pounds my ruben this morning no oh really yeah okay i picked it
00:06:00.340 up on saturday one of my friends we grabbed a 10 pound weight in one hand hold one it's because of
00:06:04.200 the it's because of the weight that's long so when you pick it up it's got the leverage on it but
00:06:08.660 It was almost exactly the same.
00:06:09.460 I lifted 10-pound dumbbells for lateral lifts this morning.
00:06:12.320 I'm telling you, we held a 10-pound in one hand and a shield in the other hand this morning.
00:06:16.780 I refuse to believe.
00:06:18.240 I'm going to go with 12 pounds.
00:06:20.320 All right.
00:06:21.120 You could be right.
00:06:22.480 We'll have to email, David.
00:06:23.880 Yeah.
00:06:24.420 But anyways, they can probably take about one to two rounds.
00:06:28.360 For sure, an infinite number of rocks.
00:06:30.400 An infinite number of rocks, yeah.
00:06:32.200 You could take that all day.
00:06:33.960 But you are, of course, going to have to brace for the impact.
00:06:36.800 Oh, yeah, brace for impact.
00:06:37.900 yeah so that's going to be severe but yeah uh check out armored republic um you'll you'll probably
00:06:44.000 um see that commercial yeah quite regularly on our show david's probably cooking up an la riots
00:06:49.580 kit right now yeah but yeah no he's one of our premier sponsors christian man he's also a pastor
00:06:56.480 but he's also the ceo of armored republic and uh and they make great equipment so body armor
00:07:01.060 shields um all the things that you would need all right mike great uh just friendly reminder as we're
00:07:06.840 getting started here we very much appreciate you watching however we would appreciate you even more
00:07:11.900 if that's possible if you like the video subscribe hit the notification bell even if you shared it
00:07:16.680 that would be amazing if you shared it with someone so yeah we are talking about the uh the
00:07:21.540 la riots uh today and probably like you said joel a lot of people are familiar with this
00:07:26.480 but in case not we want to go through some of the timelines some of the events real quick here
00:07:31.140 at the beginning before we talk about just kind of why it's happening and some of the implications
00:07:36.060 So, Nate, we're going to start with video six, which is the longest of our videos, and this is a former Navy SEAL who now works in the FBI just talking about what's going on and whether or not specifically President Trump was justified to send in the National Guard because, of course, the media has now jumped on the fact that he sent in the National Guard without Governor Newsom's permission, and they're making the story about that.
00:08:02.660 This is not this is no longer a story about riots or American identity in Los Angeles.
00:08:08.900 It's now a story about government, federal government overreach.
00:08:12.660 President Trump is, you know, obviously a dictator.
00:08:15.600 And that's that's nothing to see here with the fiery Waymo vehicles being burned. 0.91
00:08:21.060 Big time, bad dictator over here.
00:08:23.160 That's what we're going to focus on.
00:08:24.240 So this guy is is going to address that briefly towards the end of it and give kind of a good summary of what's happened so far.
00:08:30.360 So, Nate, let's roll video six.
00:08:32.200 My FBI brethren, Bobby Chacon, said just a little while ago, he used a perfect term that the mayor poured fire on this.
00:08:41.880 And that is exactly what we're seeing.
00:08:45.020 And this fire right here, L.A. has to remember, it almost burnt down just a few months ago.
00:08:53.000 And when we start to see this type of actions, it is no longer a peaceful protest.
00:08:59.360 It doesn't matter that some people stand around.
00:09:02.500 The reality is this has gone from a protest to a riot, and it's actually been that way for about three days now.
00:09:09.200 And this is the perfect example of where the National Guard could be used.
00:09:15.480 Usually they're a buffer or a blocking force as an augment to law enforcement.
00:09:20.740 But when we get to this point, this is exactly why President Trump pushed and activated the National Guard in that area. 1.00
00:09:30.600 And even the mayor said that this is how incompetent she is.
00:09:35.560 She said that she knew they were being activated, but she didn't think that they would actually be on the street.
00:09:41.180 So I don't know what she thinks, but this is exactly why.
00:09:44.720 That incompetence, these rioters equal the National Guard being called up, and if the mayor wasn't going to do it, or excuse me, the governor wasn't going to do it, then the president did the right thing.
00:09:57.660 And this is why citizens should not have to deal with this kind of nonsense that I will say this.
00:10:05.480 If we look at this historically over the past decade, this is not about Mexicans being deported.
00:10:13.120 This is about the left organized, and many of these protesters are organized and shipped all over the country.
00:10:20.820 They can start a protest, they can start a riot within a couple of hours anywhere in the country.
00:10:26.260 That's how organized they are.
00:10:27.860 We see the same tactics, we see the same uniforms and outfits that they wear, and right now what's happening, it's still daylight.
00:10:35.820 If law enforcement and the National Guard get a hold on this and push these people out of there, they will win for tonight.
00:10:43.740 And that's what they need to start thinking about, not waiting until the evening.
00:10:46.780 They need to be active right now.
00:10:49.060 Yeah, and we hear KTLA, our affiliate on the ground, reporting that about half a dozen cars are now on fire.
00:10:55.700 And that one we were zoomed into moments ago, it does appear to be a Waymo.
00:10:59.780 There was the self-driving technology on the top of that car.
00:11:02.920 But again, LAPD reporting that demonstrators were stopping these cars driving on Los Angeles north of Arcadia Street and then setting them on fire.
00:11:13.180 It's incredibly disturbing to see.
00:11:15.160 I mean, you mentioned the National Guard now being deployed to the L.A. area today.
00:11:19.260 How long would you expect them to stay here, given the severity of the situation now?
00:11:23.680 Well, they were I think they were originally deployed because ICE was being attacked and federal agents were being attacked.
00:11:29.800 They weren't able to do their job.
00:11:31.280 But now this is occurring where now you're starting to see potential loss of life.
00:11:36.840 You're definitely seeing damage of private property and even potentially public property.
00:11:44.160 If the if the again, if the governor is not going to do something, look right there.
00:11:49.260 Now you're seeing two fires where there was just one.
00:11:51.540 If the governor is not going to stop this and the mayor is not going to push the power forward and tell the people to go home.
00:11:58.120 although I don't think that's going to have any bearing on this crowd, then then it is in the president's authority to go out there and protect the public.
00:12:08.340 That if the governor of a state is not going to do it, the president can step in there and do it.
00:12:13.120 This, I can tell you right now, is not only going to spread in that city, it's going to spread around the country.
00:12:19.600 And these fires, what we're seeing right here, I think, is the beginning of potential something greater than just a riot.
00:12:27.860 I think you may start to see some buildings burn here pretty soon.
00:12:32.640 I don't know if you saw, those of you watching the video,
00:12:35.520 not listening to the podcast later on,
00:12:37.760 but at one point, there's lots of people waving Mexican flags.
00:12:41.580 There were some people waving American flags,
00:12:43.300 but then across the street there was the guy who was carrying the American flag upside down,
00:12:47.520 which to me is just as bad.
00:12:49.560 Even that American flag, I saw it.
00:12:51.000 It's like two minutes in.
00:12:52.260 At least somebody's flying an American flag,
00:12:54.480 and then it gets a little bit more in the frame, 0.60
00:12:55.900 and it's a half mexican half american flag thanks i hate it yeah yeah so this did start because um
00:13:03.300 ice did some raids of kind of day laborers standing outside of places where typically
00:13:09.200 people would go to hire people just to come and work for a day outside of home depot or
00:13:13.520 some of other shops and this has been a common practice for a long time where
00:13:16.840 people usually immigrants or illegal aliens will go and stand outside of home depot and that line
00:13:23.000 means hey i'm willing to give you physical labor you pay me a day's work and so uh people would
00:13:27.680 come by and and uh take them and do a day's work and the guy would get money and that you know that
00:13:32.120 would be it so um ice it was like you're lining up for us okay thank you very much like um and so
00:13:38.600 they arrested over a hundred of these illegal aliens who were involved in this and then that
00:13:43.480 was thursday friday is when um some of these organizations that we'll talk about in a little
00:13:48.960 bit got wind of this they very quickly like the guy on the video said organized protests um they
00:13:55.220 did start as marches and very quickly descended into um you know burning things and setting things
00:14:02.140 on fire the waymo the waymo cars they kind of they kind of made me laugh a little bit i'm not
00:14:07.760 happy that they destroyed a bunch of these waymo self-driving taxis but i said to my kids this
00:14:13.000 morning as i was researching for this i said you know what that waymo taxi needs is a driver inside
00:14:18.380 of it who would have seen what was going on and taken off immediately like yeah that's true i was
00:14:22.860 like they didn't program the escape from riot mode into the way right right the cameras aren't looking
00:14:28.780 like mexican fly mexican fly mexican uh-oh hang on get out of here that's right yeah yeah um okay so
00:14:34.860 i want to highlight that this is much more than a protest and so we're going to show some of these
00:14:39.800 videos that um are a little bit more um they're not graphic but they're going to be a little more
00:14:47.160 angering I think for for some of us so Nate let's go ahead and move um to video number two and I
00:14:53.220 forgot the funny one so maybe we'll do that when we come back from the break right um yeah we were
00:14:57.560 going to lead with that that's my bad but let's go to video number two please
00:15:17.160 so uh there have already been uh pictures of um conveniently placed pallets of cinder blocks
00:15:34.160 around these areas that the uh the protesters were grabbing the cinder blocks off of
00:15:40.120 breaking with a hammer right there on the spot and and then throwing at policemen and obviously at
00:15:45.380 the law enforcement vehicles there as well so um this video didn't show it and the the police
00:15:52.100 officer had or i don't know if he was ice or police he had a helmet on maybe supplied by david
00:15:57.040 reese but it's still a pretty jarring image so they throw this cinder block it wasn't a full
00:16:01.140 block but it was a big chunk and it hits him right in the head and knocks his helmet off and
00:16:05.200 he gets up and runs back under the overpass but they were actually stuck under that overpass for
00:16:09.880 for a little while because they're obviously they're not going to shoot back with live
00:16:14.000 ammunition and so they could have killed them yeah absolutely could have killed
00:16:17.320 them yeah yeah so so it got very violent it was destruction of property who are
00:16:23.220 these people who were like that video we just watched the ones who are like 0.95
00:16:26.500 throwing things that's the question are these illegal immigrants no actually
00:16:31.400 what I will get to it a little bit later but some of the people who are
00:16:36.720 reporting on this are saying that there actually aren't a lot of illegals in the
00:16:40.100 crowd because they're worried about getting rounded up right boarded that
00:16:43.000 makes sense these are either um sympathizers mexican sympathizers or these are just the i
00:16:50.060 saw someone in the chat say i thought it was a good um phrase the the rent a riot crowd that
00:16:56.000 showed up all over the place in 2020 the summer of love um those ones at least they're they didn't 0.64
00:17:02.440 they weren't wearing the face masks they look face masks they looked hispanic so most likely
00:17:06.860 they're legal citizens of the u.s or here on a green card or something what i was thinking is
00:17:11.060 yeah green carded or legal citizens and and i didn't think about the you know the rent to riot
00:17:15.980 um but if they are rent to riot if they are being you know paid operatives um they still like it's 0.54
00:17:23.980 it's just not a coincidence and i think i think it's worth meriting like um they are hispanic
00:17:29.780 very clearly those ones there from the video yep that um the people who are fighting for illegal
00:17:35.820 immigrants to stay here many from mexico um and latino countries are also latino right themselves
00:17:45.260 right do you have much on trump's advance and dhs and everything's response later on i don't
00:17:50.020 want to jump ahead no i don't so if you want to jump into that go ahead i mean a little bit but
00:17:53.420 go ahead i love how cameron stevenson said uh these videos make me angry and it actually does
00:17:58.360 and i'm going to be honest you know we we're not full plan trusters but we we we like to hope we
00:18:03.960 like to be optimistic but i've got to be honest the response from at least actionable right steven
00:18:09.800 miller your mark homan department of miller's been good uh pete hegseth department of homeland
00:18:17.220 security christy noem yeah no you're thinking the border ice it's just ice right yeah yeah ice
00:18:21.700 honestly the result practically on the ground the rhetoric's been good but guys where like trump
00:18:27.320 said uh masks are not allowed could you enforce that but and and here's the problem of the optics
00:18:33.380 you come in hard you come in with force and you potentially inflame more riots like that's one of
00:18:38.640 the difficulties like if you roll in and you beat people up like videos will come out of it and you
00:18:43.320 beat people up with masks you throw them in prison you're going to get a lot of anti-police or anti
00:18:48.760 immigration or anti-military riots then all across the country so then you've taken what in la could
00:18:54.400 sputter out in a couple days and all over the country every major city protesting against rule
00:18:59.380 of law this that together so practically you are in and i don't want to take it away from them
00:19:03.820 a rock and a hard place you come in hard you crack down you make all the masks come off i mean you're
00:19:09.420 dealing with probably a full-on civil war in some of the most populous cities in the nation people
00:19:14.140 will take the streets then you'll have more of that and more videos coming out but also too there
00:19:17.580 comes a certain point where like well i i don't want to fight this fight or ready you're in the
00:19:21.600 airport with a toddler who's you know going off four hours sleep like well maybe i'm not going
00:19:25.060 to fight this fight right now but there comes a certain point when you are the magistrate when
00:19:28.780 you're vested with authority to say we are not just dealing with somebody took a trash can and
00:19:33.480 dumped it over right and they flew a flag of a foreign country we're talking about uh assault
00:19:38.660 with intent to battery assault with intent to injure we're talking about destruction of those
00:19:44.280 waymo cars are not cheap no these are not nissan altimus people uh these are hundred thousand
00:19:48.420 dollar cars that personal companies like you said michael we're going to be going to buildings here
00:19:52.360 soon at a certain point you have to say and this is what trump's been hesitant to do and same thing
00:19:57.320 and i understand there's funding problems i understand there's optic problems at a certain
00:20:01.440 point you have to cross the rubicon like this is this is the the biggest test of his presidency 0.97
00:20:06.200 so far and the response so far we're going to have to be honest has been pathetic you have u.s
00:20:12.320 police officers trapped under bridges as protesters wearing soviet sickle and flag capes some of them 0.81
00:20:17.900 and waving foreign flags rain rocks and cinder blocks down on them like are we going to take
00:20:23.380 this and so far the answer has been yes we need to see tonight national guard yeah yeah and we
00:20:28.520 need to see marines and not just there making sure the national guard 2000 have been deployed
00:20:33.100 i don't know i haven't seen any of them like a arrest would be a big thing correct i haven't
00:20:37.400 seen any video of arrest it's been more like crowd control and things right so i'm not just talking
00:20:41.060 like they're there in the street and it's like don't act up don't act up but the people that do
00:20:44.680 act up hey mask off mask off mask off and making arrests you have to have show of force or you will
00:20:50.440 bullied by these bullies and it'll get worse yeah uh if that wasn't infuriating enough let's
00:20:56.640 show video number three here nate don't get me started these are anti-ice protesters yes but if
00:21:03.860 you just squint it could easily be the blm protesters or the free palestine protesters
00:21:09.200 or the resist doge protesters or the resist ice in this case protesters it is this dirtbag coalition
00:21:15.120 of leftist violent so-called protest that has been a huge problem in this country for years
00:21:21.380 so this is something that we're going to get into a little bit later on but there were
00:21:27.680 multiple uh groups involved in this it was palestinian flags it was people wearing the
00:21:33.940 the kefirs or no that's a that's a drink the kafas or whatever i forget what it's called um
00:21:41.780 So, but I saw a video that was posted in Mexico on social media there, and that motorcycle guy, I don't know, it was hard to tell, but the way that the text was phrased about that guy driving around that car, it was almost like they were presenting him as a heroic, sympathetic figure, right?
00:22:04.300 Like, he's fighting for your rights back in Mexico up there in the United States and Los Angeles.
00:22:09.740 And it was interesting to me that that video was presented very sympathetically, right, down on some of the social media accounts down in Mexico.
00:22:18.160 Just to even, because this is happening, Trump an hour ago, I don't want a civil war.
00:22:22.400 And then 45 minutes ago, U.S. military will be deploying around 700 Marines.
00:22:26.300 Those are kind of promised yesterday.
00:22:28.140 But they were only going to do 200 yesterday.
00:22:30.400 It was 500 that were inbound.
00:22:32.100 So now it's up to 700.
00:22:33.200 hopefully they actually hit the streets yeah and then same thing trump like i kind of alluded to
00:22:37.520 he's like i don't want a civil war right but at what point can you just not live with these people
00:22:41.520 yeah right yeah right um let's jump over to video four and this this has the potential to become the
00:22:50.880 mostly peaceful protest video of this chapter of our our glorious american polity so video number
00:22:57.520 four here nate large group of people it could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement
00:23:02.400 in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn
00:23:08.040 into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and and demonstrators in case
00:23:16.540 in case you missed that just a bunch of people that announcer just said all that's going on is
00:23:21.200 a bunch of people are just having a good time watching cars burn downtown la so we could take
00:23:27.740 it from this this just this uh wholesome recreation and fun and then we could actually
00:23:32.560 have a problem we don't have one right now we don't have one yet now in fact you know i heard
00:23:36.520 one of the jeff childers called this the uh something about the the the fiery fiesta in la
00:23:44.440 yeah they're just out having a party a barbecue you know they're they're chilling watching the
00:23:49.240 cars burn and it's estimated to spread and i for a little while there i think we kind of thought
00:23:54.140 like maybe a little bit of the the separations over like if you're in california but the rural
00:23:58.160 area right you know you're on the family farm six generations button down the hatches endure it but
00:24:03.460 honestly again we're going to see the dynamic of red states versus blue states yeah so your blue
00:24:07.580 states especially portland washington there in the northwest uh probably spreading to the east coast
00:24:12.520 they're not going to do much about it but as far as florida and texas goes uh you stand very little
00:24:17.940 risk whatsoever like they're going to deal with that quickly yep i think even desantis criticized
00:24:22.840 the attorney general was like i don't know if i'm gonna send them in or not he said something
00:24:26.860 to the effect of i will fire you i'm sending people in if people even try to start a protest
00:24:31.640 right i want to hit a little bit about how about how this is being framed um so nate um after i
00:24:39.300 read this quote which i didn't send you this is just me gonna read it we're gonna jump to video
00:24:43.420 five if you have that one but what's already happening is trump is being presented as mean
00:24:50.160 cruel lack of compassion unkind and overstepping his reach and the mayor of los angeles and even
00:24:58.160 gavin newsom have come out and said we had the situation under control and if we would have
00:25:03.180 needed the national guard we would have deployed it on our own however this is from the new york
00:25:07.720 post um the new york post says police in los angeles finally begin moving to disperse the
00:25:13.400 anti-ice rioters late on saturday so okay great the police finally did move in to disperse the
00:25:19.740 rioters. But here's the thing. After President Trump announced that he was sending in the National
00:25:25.660 Guard, the point of this article is they actually were just going to indefinitely wait. And it
00:25:31.700 wasn't until Trump said, the guard is coming. They're on the ground. And they're like, okay,
00:25:36.020 okay, okay, we'll step in. We'll actually put police on the ground. Until then, cops were
00:25:41.280 under orders to stand down. Can you imagine being an actual decent cop in Los Angeles? You see this
00:25:48.600 going on and your orders from your captain your sergeant are stand down right i can't imagine
00:25:54.340 being a decent cop in los angeles fair enough i would never live there um the orders were to stand
00:25:58.480 down as the quote mostly peaceful protesters unquote hurled rocks bricks and fireworks at
00:26:02.820 federal agents uh and here's the thing it's a turf war they were unwilling to to go in and defend
00:26:09.440 federal agents ice immigration control enforcement because they're mad that trump wants to export
00:26:16.160 deport illegal aliens and so their policy is this is our armed service that's the federal
00:26:22.520 armed service we're not getting involved even though they are literally under attack right
00:26:27.180 the rioters filmed their own violence sharing it on social media and it all followed mayor
00:26:32.480 karen bass's incendiary words on friday as she slammed ice raids taking dozens of illegal
00:26:38.360 immigrant migrants into custody we will not stand for this bass declared insisting isis actions
00:26:44.380 quote so terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city end quote 0.81
00:26:50.660 and bragging that her office was quote in close coordination with community organizations
00:26:55.800 community organizations exactly i'm sure they were in close coordination with community
00:27:01.080 organizations you probably isn't lying so real quick steve k had a good comment i just want to
00:27:06.200 respond but he said there's no such thing as blue cities or blue states but only blue cities
00:27:10.700 the thing that i think you have to keep in mind is um i understand that if you're talking about
00:27:16.080 what you know blueness in the sense of um the people themselves and the voters uh that's that's
00:27:22.980 true like i i understand i live in california you know for a little little over 10 years and
00:27:28.840 yeah there's there's plenty of rural places um in california in small towns that are um that are
00:27:35.740 deeply conservative uh deep red um but but there is such a thing as blue states um in the sense
00:27:42.860 that um that even though yeah all these people who vote blue are congregated in you know maybe
00:27:49.440 just three or four cities that make the whole state you know go blue it does make the whole
00:27:54.900 state go blue in the sense of legislation you now have a democrat governor who um who does have
00:28:01.340 authority over your small red town yes you still have your mayor you still have your sheriff you
00:28:07.160 still have the county um but what we're talking about is like on this level when it gets to the
00:28:13.160 level of um needing you know governor authority to call in you know um you know special you know
00:28:21.500 forces to be able to stop a riot and those kinds of things that you need your governor to be on
00:28:27.600 your side yeah not just your mayor your governor makes the decision about whether you lock down
00:28:31.820 for covid yeah exactly exactly so it's like that was not a city by city it's like well i live in a
00:28:38.200 red city and so it's fine that i happen that red city you know or town happens to be in the state
00:28:43.760 of california um no but it was the governor of california who's eating you know a five-star
00:28:49.820 french laundry yeah while you're while you're locked inside of your your house so um it actually
00:28:55.680 it significantly matters yeah yeah significantly matters and i you know i got a bunch of flack
00:29:02.020 you know a few years ago when i talked about the importance of where you live
00:29:06.500 but right now is not a great time right to be in california especially like even more so
00:29:13.620 one of the the major cities but even the state as a whole cameron stevenson there's anti-ice
00:29:19.180 protests being planned tonight in austin i don't think they'll get anywhere to that scale
00:29:22.760 but even practically i think almost every city there's a close to just unit unanimous moral
00:29:28.620 imperative for fathers to get families out it's one thing if you're a single man but practically
00:29:32.620 and then ideally you live in a red city and red city in a blue state that's better than blue city
00:29:37.260 in a blue state so if you're in a red city it's in a blue state still not great better than living
00:29:41.480 in los angeles but ideal is of course a red town in a red state for the protection of your family
00:29:45.880 your ability to school practical protection your legal rights taxes all of those different things
00:29:50.800 yeah yeah at some at some point it does like wes is right like i understand life is hard and it's
00:29:56.180 difficult with like job and affordability and these i i understand i'm not saying it's easy
00:30:00.880 or that it's simple but um but to at least be working towards um not living in portland not
00:30:08.680 living in los angeles and i'm talking like in in portland like i'm not talking 30 minutes outside
00:30:13.160 but like you live live in portland yes like what yeah what are we doing yeah if you're living
00:30:18.540 in you know city proper a mate one of these major blue cities and it's also a blue state
00:30:25.340 um and and you're not a single man but you have a wife and you have kids you have daughters
00:30:31.700 right um then yeah at a certain point you are being irresponsible yeah
00:30:37.160 before we go to our commercial break i want to transition into the next section talking about
00:30:44.840 why this is all happening by playing a clip from the man that you just mentioned, Gavin Newsom
00:30:49.580 himself. And he has some very, you know, reasonable things to say. All of this. Brace yourself. Nate,
00:30:55.380 this is going to be video number five. Your decency, Mr. President, stop. And it's time for
00:30:59.560 you to be a commander in chief of the United States of America. Donald Trump has created the
00:31:04.560 conditions you see on your TV tonight. He's exacerbated the conditions. He's, you know,
00:31:09.740 lit the proverbial match. He's putting fuel on this fire. Democracy is in the balance.
00:31:16.460 I mean, you're seeing these authoritarian tendencies now are being acted out by this
00:31:21.660 administration. And we're case in point as it relates to nationalizing, federalizing
00:31:27.700 the National Guard. Make your hands off these poor people. They're just trying to live their 0.99
00:31:31.860 lives, man. Trying to live their lives, paying their taxes. Been here 10 years. The fear,
00:31:37.080 the horror the hell is this guy come after me arrest me let's just get it over with tough guy 0.65
00:31:43.380 you know i don't give a damn but i care about my community i care about this community 0.82
00:31:49.260 the hell are they doing this is about authoritarian tendencies this is about
00:31:54.180 command and control this is about power this is about ego my way or the highway this is a
00:32:00.520 consistent pattern of practice, of recklessness. This guy has abandoned the core principles of
00:32:07.920 this great democracy. He's threatening to, what, go after judges he disagrees with, cut off funding
00:32:16.480 to institutions of higher learning. He's on a cultural binge. He's rewriting history, censoring
00:32:22.580 historical facts. I mean, this is something completely different. Where's your decency,
00:32:29.560 Mr. President stop rescind this order it's illegal and unconstitutional and I said it I'll say it
00:32:35.100 again it's immoral you're creating the conditions that you claim you're solving and you're not and
00:32:40.700 you're putting real people's lives at risk this is a serious moment and it requires serious
00:32:46.140 leadership and it's time for you to be a commander-in-chief of the United States of America
00:32:50.640 and I will have your back if you want to work in a relationship of trust and truth in the spirit of
00:32:57.240 our founding fathers but you come after poor kids you come after families we will do everything in
00:33:02.680 our powder stand up and stand in your way i'm going to call a quick audible here because trump
00:33:07.620 actually directly addressed this so nate let's play video number one the one that joel posted
00:33:15.400 or the one that i posted in and joel approved earlier today my fellow americans it is with
00:33:21.140 overwhelming enthusiasm that i am declaring that anyone who protests or interferes with ice 0.95
00:33:26.380 and their operations is officially gay, big time. 0.99
00:33:30.920 With that being said, go ahead and call your dads, 1.00
00:33:33.540 tell them about your alternative lifestyle as a gay communist, 0.99
00:33:37.280 and then, who knows, maybe eat a lollipop. 1.00
00:33:39.320 I don't know what flamers do with their time,
00:33:40.980 but I'd imagine it's something along those lines. 0.96
00:33:43.300 Maybe decorate a bathroom, who knows.
00:33:46.120 In either case, this is who you are now,
00:33:48.000 and everybody knows that cat's out of the bag.
00:33:50.960 Cat is out of the bag.
00:33:52.500 i wish that was his response that's a beautiful response uh and it's fitting for uh the month of
00:34:02.600 june um it is a very very gay thing to uh to be um one of these protesters i i wanted to comment 0.62
00:34:09.600 on gavin newsom's um just absolutely shameful wicked i mean he's a wicked i honestly i just 0.91
00:34:16.980 obviously he's wicked but like as far as the hate he's the quintessential perfect politician
00:34:21.560 nobody plays the game better than him oh yeah from the hair to the outfit to the rhetoric
00:34:25.540 yep no he is um but i was uh just listening to that and uh when he said like uh this is um
00:34:32.080 unconstitutional illegal and um immoral and i guess what i want to say about that i just think
00:34:39.220 we have to come to this point where we recognize what's going on um i don't think it's unconstitutional
00:34:46.180 home um i i actually think he may be right that it may be illegal but it is not immoral right
00:34:54.760 like and at a certain point like that that's what we're dealing with here is like well but
00:34:59.620 the judges had this ruling or had like um i don't care i don't care it's wrong it's wrong these
00:35:07.580 judges are wicked and they are uh exercising power that uh from from a transcendent ultimate
00:35:14.760 standpoint is immoral. And then even from the standpoint of our founding as a country,
00:35:20.940 we did not set up a country that made judges monarchs. That's not our system. The president
00:35:31.580 has far more constitutional power. The executive branch of government and what's at the president's
00:35:40.760 disposal has far more power than any american president has used in 50 to 100 years but it's
00:35:49.260 actually there constitutionally so it is not unconstitutional it's certainly not immoral
00:35:55.980 right but it might actually be in terms of jurisdictions in the state of california and in
00:36:02.080 this uh local you know county whatever it might actually be legal um and if that's the case it's
00:36:08.740 because um because california is corrupt right it and and so at a certain point and then the
00:36:15.020 second thing i want to point out is it's not a coincidence um how how often like you you could
00:36:21.080 tell even from that video with with gavin it's um it's always our sacred democracy our democracy
00:36:27.980 and like and so and i just want to agree with gavin uh when he says um he's like quite literally
00:36:33.980 our democracy is at stake yes and what people need to realize is um that's absolutely true
00:36:39.600 and we are rooting against democracy that's why they're fighting so hard democracy is at stake
00:36:45.540 um if if good prevails democracy will fall right and um and and may it rest in peace you know um
00:36:56.680 or rest in pieces but like we like uh he's right like he's like this is against democracy so in
00:37:03.100 the same way he says this is illegal he's right but the laws are wrong or this is against democracy
00:37:08.400 he's right democracy is wicked it's wrong it's immoral yeah um no like that's not how um a people
00:37:17.580 should function that you can just you can just import people by the millions and then all of a
00:37:24.300 sudden have 50 you know percent plus one of a vote um i mean you you see like even what was it i i
00:37:32.120 would have to look it up but i can't remember if you sent it to me wes or but it was like one one
00:37:37.780 judge in california in a in like um a high high district that made a ruling back in like either
00:37:45.720 the 80s or the 90s and um and they overruled something that the people actually voted for
00:37:52.960 and that allowed um that directly allowed for mass immigration it was all the benefits so your
00:38:01.320 education your housing your hospitals your medical it directly struck down a provision that would
00:38:07.280 have stripped them yeah and that's what's crazy is actually democratically the people said said
00:38:11.820 they voted on i think it was proposition 182 185 we don't want to give them that yep and then the
00:38:17.320 judge she she came in a woman and said uh well i and she cited the constitution all this violates
00:38:24.380 the constitutional this that or the other nope you've got to have it even though you didn't want
00:38:28.080 you have to have it meaning um like financial government issued benefits from health care
00:38:35.300 to this that and the other the same thing happened with gay marriage in california 0.52
00:38:38.380 or illegal immigrants oh wow and um and so you just like the bed has been made for a very long
00:38:46.340 time this is not like oh we just started making some bad decisions um no you uh universal suffrage
00:38:52.960 raw democracy um in an elevated judicial branch um and the executive branch having his hands tied
00:39:01.440 behind his back um like the the whole scene has been perfectly set for a very long time 0.95
00:39:08.300 for um for a takeover of the country yeah yeah and marcus prop eight that was the one the gay
00:39:16.160 marriage one same thing the people voted against it yep and then he came in and said no we're
00:39:21.880 going to do it anyway yep yep all right let's hit our first commercial break and when we come back

00:43:00.540 on go ahead imagine they just engage that bad boy just for a little show of force like there's a
00:43:05.660 show of force level where nobody's protesting anyway now they're in austin like shut it down
00:43:09.840 we're done go home and everyone says we will yep well uh how did we come to the state and we've
00:43:18.760 already touched on some of them but the state where not only are these sorts of things going on
00:43:24.480 but they are promoted and really um kind of applauded they're legalized they're promoted
00:43:30.220 they're applauded, all of these things.
00:43:32.440 Yeah, and they're fine.
00:43:32.900 Well, we're going to get to the funding.
00:43:34.220 Yeah.
00:43:35.400 So Senate Bill 54 was enacted in 2017 in California.
00:43:41.120 This law bars state and local law enforcement from using resources to assist ICE.
00:43:49.900 So you have to think about this.
00:43:51.640 ICE is out.
00:43:52.400 They've arrested someone or they say, hey, we need police backup or something like this.
00:43:55.580 We've got a couple agents on site, but there's something going down.
00:43:58.460 And the local sheriff before that could have said, yeah, we'll send out some guys to help back you up.
00:44:03.040 California said, no, this is terrible.
00:44:05.200 So they pass a law in 2017 that says local law enforcement, you would be in violation of state law if you go out and you assist ICE or federal agents like that with border enforcement.
00:44:18.400 And so they proactively are preventing any sort of state law enforcement.
00:44:22.820 They made the bet.
00:44:23.360 Yes, they absolutely made their bet.
00:44:25.060 And Texas just passed this legislative session, SB-8, which gives increased tools for local law enforcement to coordinate with ICE and mandates it.
00:44:33.480 California did that, and then we just came in and said, no, you will work together.
00:44:36.960 And again, think about that as it relates to blue and red states.
00:44:41.140 You have a family, you have children, you have a wife.
00:44:43.940 If you're in this scenario and you're living in a state and it's like, well, my mayor is concerned.
00:44:51.260 but like you're living in a state where it's literally illegal um for the the state law
00:44:57.400 enforcement to work with you know national guard or something like that that's coming
00:45:02.500 when there's a crisis and a riot and they're throwing bricks and lighting you know cars on
00:45:07.040 fire and and god forbid like it could get worse you know and all of a sudden there's gunfire and
00:45:13.080 things like that and uh you're living in a state where the police uh it's literally um there's a
00:45:18.900 law against your police coming yep to help and then you're living in a state like ours where
00:45:24.340 there's um provisions for even more yeah um like like there is a moral calculus right as a father
00:45:32.440 as a husband yep and thinking of the safety of your family it's not just like you're being
00:45:37.500 legalistic i can live where i want so and the original intention of federal programs like the
00:45:42.180 federal bureau of investigation of course immigration customs and enforcement was that
00:45:46.680 with different states it could be difficult so imagine if someone we got wind of him we found
00:45:50.280 him at the home deep in los angeles yeah and he books it to arizona and all you have is local law
00:45:54.160 enforcement right you don't have the resources nor the jurisdiction to track so the original purpose
00:45:58.560 of the system was of course to work locally this was with the mob and with gangsters back in the
00:46:02.480 day was to work with local law enforcement to track things that they necessarily couldn't it's
00:46:07.060 insane and you know who probably passed it was individuals sympathetic to immigrants individuals
00:46:12.520 Mexican themselves and your legislator in your house and then signed by the governor who said
00:46:17.060 we'll get this in there so it'll be harder to get our family members those who come over those who
00:46:20.940 are just like me out of the state yeah um after Trump got elected in November before the end of
00:46:26.920 the month the city of Los Angeles passed local um guidelines well not guidelines policies to
00:46:33.740 declare itself a sanctuary city so Nate this I think is quote number one I think I sent it to
00:46:37.600 And this is from an article describing this move to become a sanctuary city.
00:46:43.580 Yep, there it is.
00:46:44.220 The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday approved a so-called, quote, sanctuary city and, quote, ordinance that bars city resources from being used for immigration enforcement and city departments from sharing information on people without legal status, illegal alien, with federal immigration authorities in anticipation of potential mass deportations under President Trump.
00:47:07.600 council members voted here it is unanimously on the measure quote we're going to send a very clear
00:47:14.820 message that the city of los angeles will not cooperate with ice in any way end quote and so
00:47:21.320 joel it's exactly what you said they they i mean they moved within weeks of president trump being
00:47:26.900 elected in november as a virtue signal and now they made their bed and in there and they are
00:47:32.700 lying in it now yeah yep it's there's so many different factors but simply put it's like yes
00:47:40.320 so they did these things intentionally and preemptively and you know wickedly in order to
00:47:45.580 set the stage for anarchy and lawlessness and endanger their citizens but then when you think
00:47:51.860 of incentives like why so like that's wrong but then when you think of the larger system of what
00:47:56.780 incentivizes this kind of wrongdoing by our civil leaders um votes yeah like why like what incentive
00:48:05.380 do they have to say like we will endanger um the the native citizens in our city in our state
00:48:14.580 um in order to prefer foreigners who have come here illegally many of them criminals they're
00:48:21.920 all criminals by virtue of coming illegally but some of them acting out other crimes that endanger 0.94
00:48:26.860 our citizens and we're going to we're going to not protect our citizens and instead uh protect
00:48:34.160 those who are endangering our citizens like why why would any i just think of like everything
00:48:40.080 this all the volumes lex rex and all these like about the civil magistrate from a christian
00:48:44.480 perspective for centuries of how this the civil father is a father he cares about his citizens
00:48:51.680 not just citizens of the world but he cares about they're like his his you know his civil
00:48:56.980 children and he wants to nurture and protect and i think like what could do that like us well a
00:49:03.020 system uh where his power the civil magistrate's power is prolonged and shored up um by the
00:49:13.720 foreigner coming in yeah and it's like like that's what democracy does that's democracy
00:49:20.200 incentivizes wicked rulers um to neglect or even harm their native citizens um at at the the 0.51
00:49:30.500 benefit of of the foreigner um because the four they can they can buy the votes and michael you
00:49:37.860 you said it, um, previously in another discussion of ours, but it's not even just that, um, the
00:49:44.340 immigrants, you know, uh, would be able to vote. Although we know there are cities that allow
00:49:49.260 without documentation, um, voting, but it's not even just to get the votes, but just by their
00:49:54.620 mere presence of being residents, uh, it boosts the population numbers of that County, that state
00:50:01.780 and gives more power in other, you know, larger.
00:50:06.300 They get more representatives in the House of Representatives.
00:50:09.380 They get more electoral college votes.
00:50:11.720 Yeah.
00:50:12.100 Yep.
00:50:12.260 And so you're literally, like, our system,
00:50:17.280 at some point you have to own the fact that, like,
00:50:20.260 our system incentivizes wickedness.
00:50:23.760 And so to say, like, well, we just need to get back to the system.
00:50:28.160 The system gave you this.
00:50:29.680 Right. 1.00
00:50:29.980 of what use was the rule if it led you to this no country for old men yeah it's like it's like 0.72
00:50:35.540 well we just need to uh the constitution you know we need to do this like uh this this led us to
00:50:41.400 this so yeah and not even to say it was bad like all all the flaws for the whole time they're always
00:50:47.060 there but to say in a time like ours globalism and immigration that it's not as suited for those
00:50:52.300 threats at least in its form that has been interpreted now it's just not suited for those
00:50:56.640 threats because it was written when these weren't even a fact right that's you had addressed the
00:51:00.660 things that needed to then and established our independence and now we face a new battle and
00:51:06.260 we'll see and but over reliance on the things of the past like well we just got to do it the way
00:51:10.660 we've always done we haven't faced something like this before you have to think differently than
00:51:14.740 maybe we have right yeah that's not it my argument is not i appreciate you saying that west but
00:51:19.120 because my argument's not to say and so this proves that there were always these immoral you
00:51:24.840 know deep profound flaws you know from the beginning well because that goes to the system
00:51:29.680 that was before it and the system that was exactly exactly yeah so that that's not my position my
00:51:34.240 position is not um that our system has always been deeply flawed or that the constitution you know
00:51:40.640 from day one contained these like very clear you know loopholes or problems um that's not my
00:51:46.820 position my position is that countries change right the people change and when the people
00:51:53.080 change dramatically um then you have to be willing to say like okay so we have a system that protects
00:52:00.600 against this enemy this particular enemy is not currently our enemy there's this other enemy and
00:52:06.320 we need to shore up make the necessary changes and protections against the current enemy that's
00:52:12.220 facing us i like even theologically i i you know i'll have conversations with christians about this
00:52:17.480 all the time because we're all you know reformed in our theology and you know i'm planning on
00:52:22.360 talking a little bit about this uh you know this week in ogden at the um safety third conference
00:52:28.600 which i'm excited about but um you know i i plan we'll see if it makes it into the talk but i plan
00:52:34.320 to have like a portion where i say essentially i say like um if if you know if god chose to
00:52:42.240 resurrect luther and calvin today and all of a sudden they just as a supernatural miracle of god
00:52:48.460 they materialize in your living room and and god in his providence saw fit for you to be the one
00:52:56.420 to brief them catch them up on you know about half a millennia you know 500 years and and you say i
00:53:03.800 will politically this is what's currently going on here in america culturally this is what's
00:53:09.540 currently going on here in america and then theologically and ecclesiologically um in the
00:53:16.860 last 500 years since the reformation this is where we're at um this is some of the progress
00:53:23.080 these are some of the weaknesses and failures this is where the roman catholic church is at today
00:53:28.360 right and uh and the pope you know shocker he's still um he's still not really uh doing too hot
00:53:36.800 he's still uh kind of uh rebellious to the lord jesus christ they're still praying to saints and
00:53:42.600 to mary and these kinds of things and then you know you you go on that's the largest part of
00:53:48.640 your briefing you know you're getting fired up and you're starting to you know to quote from memory
00:53:52.860 the latest you know um session from ligonier you know the reformation continues 500 years later
00:53:59.980 semper reformanda when you finally stop i think luther and calvin would say yeah um the reformation
00:54:08.840 continues and rome is still a tyrant now tell me more about these facts 1.00
00:54:13.800 right like i think they would like they'd seriously be like you're an idiot like the 1.00
00:54:22.460 premier quintessential enemy of our time was the roman catholic church but you just briefed me on 0.99
00:54:29.940 everything going on and that is not the premier enemy of your time doctrine matters theology
00:54:36.260 matters. Sola gratia matters. But if someone, if I'm on the beach standing on the sand and somebody
00:54:45.860 is drowning in the surf and waves are going over their head and they're about to die,
00:54:53.860 I'm not going to raise my voice and preach the gospel. I'm going to do everything I can within
00:54:59.500 my physical ability to go out and to save their physical life from drowning. And then once I
00:55:06.040 pull them up on the shore and they cough up water and gain consciousness um i then will probably
00:55:13.860 have some piece of conversation where i say hey i'd i'd love to exchange contact information so
00:55:20.100 maybe we could get coffees sometime i i'm a christian and and i'd love to tell you about
00:55:25.660 jesus if you're willing to do that but i'm not going to shout the gospel from the shore as
00:55:31.500 they're drowning that the impending most urgent right like i understand that once ultimate we're
00:55:37.480 talking about heaven and hell once eternal once ultimate but in terms of urgency um i they need
00:55:44.440 to be alive physically alive in order to believe the gospel and that's that's the first need and
00:55:50.520 so like when i when i look at our country and what's going on it's like well we need to return
00:55:55.060 to christ yes we need sound doctrine yes and so i think the church as an institution not the people
00:56:03.820 right because christians are a part of the church um but but then they also have six other days a
00:56:09.820 week where they're they're in they're in their industry their vocation in their homes with their
00:56:15.120 children their families you know their community all these different things and some christians are
00:56:19.140 a part of the civil magistrate and holding civil office and these guys you might be a city council
00:56:23.400 member whatever so the church as an institution is fairly simple i'm not saying it's easy
00:56:29.780 they can be simple things that are still hard things but it's the church as an institution
00:56:34.380 it's word and sacrament and so the church is going to be preaching and it's going to be preaching
00:56:40.340 sound doctrine and it's going to be preaching both an individual a call to individual repentance and
00:56:45.720 i believe there should also be a call coming from the church a consistent and clear to national
00:56:52.580 repentance america must return to christ and repent of its sin and repent of this and repent
00:56:58.800 of that that's the church as an institution beyond that though um the immediate urgent threat
00:57:05.880 if you're a civil magistrate or even as a private citizen who is a christian but in your other
00:57:11.920 capacities outside of your role as a churchman right whether you know you're an elder or a deacon
00:57:17.760 or a church member whatever your other capacity six other days a week um america is drowning
00:57:25.380 america is drowning and for you to stand on the shore and raise your voice and preach the gospel
00:57:32.660 louder and only preach the gospel i'm not advocating for anything less but to only preach
00:57:38.840 the gospel and to not say wait a second we're not going to have a country to to be able to
00:57:44.940 call to national repentance we're not like that's that's about to go away we have got to stop the
00:57:51.040 bleed out right now i use the drowning analogy but perhaps a better one is there's a gaping wound
00:57:56.160 and america is about to bleed out and die and and i think of immigration in those terms and i
00:58:02.940 understand the arguments i've talked to the abolitionists god bless them you know and 0.87
00:58:06.420 well uh being overrun by foreigners is the consequence for human sacrifice and abortion 0.64
00:58:13.300 so yes like sodomy and abortion i would include those sins in particular perhaps above all others 0.91
00:58:21.020 in that uh the church as an institution in its call for national repentance so preaching the
00:58:28.520 gospel and calling the nation to repentance but but i would say it's it's not people think well
00:58:36.260 you got to do that first you got to repent of these sins um before the judgment because they
00:58:41.980 they would view it as the mass immigration and a foreign takeover is the judgment for the sins of
00:58:49.120 sodomy and abortion and what i would say is um the judgment is just about to kill us and and so i
00:58:57.200 would say it's it's not okay so i deal with the symptoms and then the root repent of the sins
00:59:04.360 i'm not advocating for that either what i'm saying is i think it has to be simultaneous
00:59:08.700 i think it has to be christians wearing multiple hats as a church dealing with the root
00:59:16.500 return to christ repent of your sins especially these two human sacrifice through abortion by 0.87
00:59:24.920 the millions and flagrant flagrant sexual perversion with the lgbt mafia and then but 0.95
00:59:32.240 then those same christians and even co-belliterents who are not christians but have common sense and 0.99
00:59:38.440 want america not to to commit suicide in our other six days a week in our other capacities
00:59:46.120 not as churchmen but as whatever you are a business owner as a father and a mother
00:59:51.520 and a city council member um yes you are trying to put pressure on the wound and stop
00:59:57.480 the bleed um we're not accelerationist like i i've heard some of the abolitionists
01:00:04.000 get real close if not outright use that language that basically uh well if we don't stop abortion
01:00:10.220 then uh then america doesn't deserve to exist and um and like even with the kamala trump thing
01:00:17.420 like i remember talking to you guys and saying these are the two options uh i'm not voting for
01:00:23.320 abortion i'm voting for a president and we will either have one or the other and uh and i'm going
01:00:29.440 to do that while simultaneously as a christian as a churchman and in my case as a pastor calling
01:00:35.680 for uh national repentance for abortion the human sacrifice must stop right and voting as a private
01:00:42.780 citizen um for the option that will also that if the judgment is the invasion and the sin is abortion
01:00:49.340 also voting preaching against the sin abortion and voting uh to stop the invasion um the judge
01:00:57.700 so that america actually lasts and in the retort from from some of these brothers in christ and
01:01:03.520 they are brothers in christ and i love them and appreciate them was was basically along the lines
01:01:08.540 of um none of them saying i'll vote for kamala but but saying i'm not going to vote for either
01:01:15.160 because trump isn't an abolitionist and and and you could you could hear some of them actually
01:01:21.320 gave it away and said it out loud i hope kamala wins um because i want the judgment of god to
01:01:29.600 accelerate because i know kamala will lead towards more illegal immigration and a foreign invasion
01:01:35.800 and i i actually hope the judgment accelerates if until the sin is repented of and i kept thinking
01:01:43.840 last thing here i kept thinking about the judges because that's kind of i feel like the time that
01:01:48.620 we're in right now i keep thinking about samson and i think about gideon and and and the time of
01:01:54.520 judges is kind of it's an in-between it's an interim period you know between moses and joshua
01:02:01.500 and there's a clear system that israel originally has it's like the ridge is like the founding of
01:02:07.960 israel that you know like that in their their government and the system um of like strong
01:02:13.560 leaders moses and joshua and there were other leaders you know beside them um and but before
01:02:19.220 the kings um and then there's kind of like this mad max you know season in between and um and
01:02:26.380 that's the judge and i was thinking about the judges and i was thinking well the only reason
01:02:30.780 why the chaldeans and all these different people are overrunning israel and that they're experiencing
01:02:36.280 all these terrible events that are taking place is a judgment for their sin and wickedness and 0.96
01:02:45.000 turning from Yahweh. And yet, and yet the Lord did not just raise up prophets to call them to
01:02:52.600 repentance for their idolatry. They're being punished by other nations as God's rod for their
01:02:58.760 idolatry. But God did not just raise up prophets to preach a message of repentance from idolatry.
01:03:03.740 he also simultaneously raised up judges to actually deal with his own judgment that he
01:03:10.640 providentially sent as a consequence for the idolatry. So he didn't just raise up,
01:03:17.140 here's a preacher to preach national repentance for Israel, and then the invasion will stop,
01:03:23.260 and then the oppression from the Chaldeans will stop. He also raises up Gideon, not just to preach
01:03:28.940 a call of repentance from idolatry but also to go and kick the enemy's butts and he did the same 0.76
01:03:36.760 thing with samsa it's it's both like i i i was gonna say i believe we can but i don't i i actually 0.97
01:03:44.320 have come to a place where i don't believe evangelicals can can walk and chew gum at the
01:03:48.500 same time i actually i was hopeful but the abolitionists have told me outright well you
01:03:53.780 literally cannot walk and chew gum at the same time and it breaks my heart because because again 0.99
01:03:59.040 we're not saying anything less yes um i believe abortion and faggotry are two of the primary 1.00
01:04:06.940 causes for the this particular judgment of being ruled by women and children and foreigners 1.00
01:04:14.540 i agree with deuteronomy 28 that's not just like well sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad
01:04:20.200 Deuteronomy 20 is clear.
01:04:21.960 That is a curse.
01:04:22.960 It's a curse. 1.00
01:04:23.400 You would be ruled by foreigners, all foreigners, any foreigners. 1.00
01:04:25.840 And I don't think it's random. 0.98
01:04:26.840 I'm willing to wholeheartedly agree that it's directly correlated with our apostasy,
01:04:35.060 in general, our apostasy from the Lord Jesus Christ, 0.57
01:04:38.260 and particularly our committing of the sins of abortion and sexual perversion. 0.99
01:04:46.060 I'm on board with that.
01:04:47.560 so let's call for national repentance particularly with these two cents and let's also not this then
01:04:55.940 that but this and that let's also though pray that god would give us christian judges not just
01:05:02.800 christian preachers prophets with it with the sin the root issue and national repentance but also
01:05:08.840 judges to um as much as god would be merciful that these judges would be empowered with with
01:05:15.660 holy spirit wrought might and wisdom and and success to um to ward off the judgment so that
01:05:23.980 the judgment doesn't kill us so that there's still time to repent i i it just i feel like i'm taking
01:05:30.460 crazy pills sometimes when i'm talking to christians who i agree with on like 99 of issues

01:07:37.920 On Ruling. It's a book written by a group of guys who live down here in Texas. Now the subtitle
01:07:43.780 reads this, An Everyday Guide for Christian Patriarchs. And that's precisely what this book
01:07:49.940 is. Now, I'll tell you what this book is not. It's not a Bible study. It's not a devotional.
01:07:55.820 And it's not a boring retread book about leadership or leveling up. No, this book
01:08:01.700 is designed to get you thinking about how to seize more ground and then bring it under good
01:08:07.320 governance. Now, most men are not aware that our mandate is to build civilization right where we
01:08:14.300 are with a winning culture. We tend to want to outsource that responsibility or just try to get
01:08:21.080 more comfortable, but that is not what our lives are to be about, gentlemen. Regardless of how many
01:08:27.320 talents our master gave us, we should be making moves to see an increase in all spheres of our
01:08:33.840 lives. One day he will return and ask for our reports. So this book is about all that. It's
01:08:41.860 about governing your heart, household, and enterprise so that the kingdom of God advances.
01:08:48.560 On Ruling is a great book for group study with you and your fellow men, or perhaps even something
01:08:55.020 that you can read in the deer stand. So go and get On Ruling now from Western Front Books at the
01:09:01.700 link below. That's www.westernfrontbooks.com. All right. Welcome back. Well, we are going to
01:09:12.920 jump into a little bit of the funding. And this is a bit of a wild ride. Some pretty interesting
01:09:20.100 stuff here. So how is it that these riots are able to happen spontaneously? Why do they seem
01:09:28.720 organized? Why do they seem well-funded? Well, they are. They are. That's the answer. And what
01:09:34.820 we saw in the Summer of Love was that there was this kind of organization behind. I remember
01:09:40.120 hearing stories of people identifying Antifa members who had been in one city and then in
01:09:47.100 another city at riots. And they were realizing, well, these people are, they're getting on buses.
01:09:51.860 They're going from city to city. They're buying body armor. It's very well-organized and very
01:09:56.260 well-funded. Well, in the case of the protest in Los Angeles, let's talk about some of the
01:10:02.920 funding. So I have a couple of quotes here that I'm going to put on the screen. They're a little
01:10:07.980 longer, so bear with me. But Nate, let's roll quote 2A here. So this says, talking about the
01:10:15.520 funding, one of the groups leading anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles is a taxpayer-funded,
01:10:22.220 Get that. It's a taxpayer funded activist organization with ties to the Democratic Party, while another of the two has links to the Chinese Communist Party.
01:10:33.500 So the first one that we're going to talk about, the Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights, CHURLA, which received tens of millions of dollars in government grants during the Biden administration, staged a rally last week to denounce immigration and customs enforcements arresting illegal immigrants across the city, including those convicted of heinous crimes.
01:10:58.740 According to the financial records obtained by Data Republican, Churla received nearly $34 million in government grants, mostly from the state of California in the fiscal year ending June 2023, a jump from $12 million it received the previous year.
01:11:18.780 This is the organization that started the protests on Friday.
01:11:24.480 Now, they were very quick to say, we didn't support or sponsor the violence.
01:11:29.300 We just wanted the protests, right?
01:11:31.140 They came out immediately and said that.
01:11:32.980 But this is actually a taxpayer-funded group.
01:11:37.960 And maybe they even put forth the funds to conveniently place the cinder blocks
01:11:45.140 just for protesters to lean against.
01:11:48.420 Yes, yeah, exactly.
01:11:50.380 Or to provide some cover from the tear gas or things like that.
01:11:53.500 There's so many ways of getting around, like in our system, it's like, well, this is not
01:11:57.820 illegal, you know, or whatever, like, yeah, but it's wrong.
01:12:02.520 Yep.
01:12:03.220 Okay, let me read the next one.
01:12:04.240 So that was the first group called Churla.
01:12:05.860 There's a second group operating in Los Angeles right now.
01:12:09.440 And this is also from the same New York Post article.
01:12:13.100 And it says this, another group that was behind some of last week's protests is the Marxist
01:12:18.260 Party for Socialism and Liberation, which played a part in virulent past anti-Israel
01:12:25.100 campus protests at Columbia University, and which was once associated with suspected D.C.
01:12:30.560 terrorist Elias Rodriguez.
01:12:32.040 So this group, which is now in Los Angeles operating these protests right now, has ties
01:12:38.820 to the Chinese Communist Party through funding from socialist billionaire Neville Singham
01:12:43.360 and his wife, Jody Evans, founder of an activist group called Code Pink.
01:12:48.260 According to a 2022 or 2024 report by the Network Contagion Research Institute, I wonder what that is.
01:12:55.780 Yeah, we know that one. That was the Crisis King report for context for anyone.
01:12:59.420 Yeah. Singham sank millions of dollars in backing the groups after selling his software company ThoughtWorks for $785 million in 2017.
01:13:11.560 Singham's ties to the Chinese government and communist propaganda are well documented.
01:13:16.120 The New York Times published a lengthy 2023 expose on his far-reaching money machine, which has steered millions to China-praising nonprofits from South Africa, Ghana, and Zambia to Brazil, New Delhi, and beyond.
01:13:31.020 So this is one of the other groups that was organizing the protests and the disturbances in Los Angeles Thursday, Friday, Saturday, et cetera.
01:13:40.300 So these are very, very well-funded organizations. 0.78
01:13:44.700 The one where it's a Chinese communist agent, at least that's kind of like honest opposition, right? 0.61
01:13:53.840 They're opposed to the U.S. 0.84
01:13:55.160 They're going to fund things that are against our interest.
01:13:58.540 But it just kills me that taxpayer dollars and government grants have gone to fund these organizations,
01:14:06.800 which now are absolutely wreaking havoc in Los Angeles
01:14:12.700 and which are promoting this very, you know,
01:14:17.240 we are a globalist city.
01:14:20.460 We are, one of the videos that I didn't play,
01:14:23.400 you hear them chanting in the back, Viva La Rasa.
01:14:25.860 This is the sort of thing that our own, not ours,
01:14:30.400 it was California, but if you're in California,
01:14:32.520 your taxpayer dollars, the money that you paid
01:14:35.460 and your taxes are going directly to fund these things was this uh federal taxes or state tax
01:14:41.120 uh some of the grants were federal grants but most of it was california state taxes
01:14:45.560 it's another reason yep it's not just the protection of your family but you're literally
01:14:50.880 funding yeah like and it gets to the point where like honestly like i mean it i'm not trying to
01:14:58.180 oversimplify it but i think it really is this simple but it gets to like when you think of
01:15:02.020 abortion it's like okay do do i live in a state with state taxes okay did any portion of that
01:15:09.000 state taxes go to fund planned parenthood okay and then like right and then i can look at planned
01:15:14.540 parenthood and see how much funding they've gotten and then look at their budget and see how much it
01:15:19.080 cost for each abortion procedure and then i can look at my salary and my end of the year you know
01:15:25.480 like w-2s and how much i paid in state taxes how much percentage of that went towards planned
01:15:32.020 parenthood how much it cost planned parenthood to abort one baby and then over my working career
01:15:37.900 i can say i personally single-handedly funded the murder of x many children yep simply by living in
01:15:47.460 a blue state yep yeah like which like yep i don't understand how there aren't moral implications 0.89
01:15:52.400 like again like i'm you know it's years after the fact but people are like you're you're crazy to
01:15:58.220 say that there's any kind of you know impression on christians regarding like where they live and
01:16:04.780 i just i don't know how there couldn't be all right go ahead okay so i want to take one more um
01:16:10.440 interesting uh kind of rabbit trail here um hold on one second i was looking something up while
01:16:20.400 we're talking, Jewel. There we go. Oh, it is. Okay. So a week ago, not even a week ago, but
01:16:29.980 about a week ago, last week, the president of Mexico, a woman named Claudia Scheinbaum. I don't 0.83
01:16:36.920 know how that's a Mexican name, but whatever. She came out really strongly against President
01:16:44.600 trump's big beautiful bill and i mean really racist think about this um to the point where
01:16:51.140 she was talking kind of in coded language to some of the illegal immigrants uh aliens in the united
01:16:58.540 states like you guys need to do something about this okay what was she upset about and i have to
01:17:04.160 give credit to where credit is due this is from coffee and covid guy he had if you if you want
01:17:09.120 the full story here go read his his thing today but in the big beautiful bill it's just a tiny
01:17:15.800 little throwaway line in there and what it does is it imposes a five percent tax on remittances
01:17:23.820 now what is a remittance a remittance is money sent by non-us citizens outside of the country
01:17:34.820 to people in other countries so when you see the western union places and you see the uh the
01:17:41.120 hispanics going there every other friday when they get their paycheck and they're sending money back 0.95
01:17:44.700 to mexico or back to right you know wherever they're coming from that's called a remittance 0.98
01:17:49.240 okay all right so the big beautiful bill imposes a five percent tax on all remittances so if you
01:17:56.560 send a hundred dollars to your family down in nicaragua you're going to pay five dollars
01:18:01.580 um just right off the top and i think it's added on top because you could have a remittance tax
01:18:06.320 that's 200 as in to send 100 you have to pay 200 i don't know that's necessarily deducted from it
01:18:11.220 that's correct just to clarify yeah shame bomb that's uh yeah that sounds very mexican
01:18:16.460 that's what i said um she is yeah she said um she said that they are unacceptable she said if
01:18:23.240 necessary we will mobilize we do not want taxes on remittances please lord please mobilize that
01:18:30.540 Yes.
01:18:31.820 Okay, so that was a little while ago.
01:18:36.120 A newspaper called ExpansiĂłn reported that remittances from the United States
01:18:42.060 are one of Mexico's largest single income sources.
01:18:46.920 Wow. 1.00
01:18:47.380 Money that Mexican immigrants or illegal immigrants, it doesn't matter, 1.00
01:18:52.380 they're just not actual residents, send back to Mexico 0.92
01:18:56.100 are one of Mexico's single largest income sources.
01:19:00.540 okay um did you more than i hate real quick did you ever see like the korean movie i think it was
01:19:05.880 korean where there's a family that lives in the house and then there's an entire family that lives 0.66
01:19:11.380 like under the closet i think oh parasite parasite yeah yeah yeah come on that one like a bunch of 0.50
01:19:17.400 academies michael so it's like like this family lives in the house and they don't they're not
01:19:21.100 even aware that there's another family that lives like because they're all like the serving staff
01:19:25.720 like they get in the drives as like the chauffeur and everything like that but then they actually
01:19:30.860 live like underneath the house like in a hidden chamber of the basement you know that's mexico
01:19:36.660 yeah yeah so the remittances that are sent from the u.s to mexico make up more than mexico's car
01:19:44.740 sales wow their food exports and their oil exports um in 2024 the total that mexico that
01:19:53.600 came into mexico through remittances was 64.7 billion dollars that was 3.5 percent of mexico's
01:20:00.240 gdp that year how much 3.5 okay well only 3.5 only 3.5 but still that's a lot that's a lot
01:20:08.200 64 billion dollars yeah yeah um um and that's just mexico that's not including all the other
01:20:15.200 um central american countries remittances to india exceed 165 billion dollars a year
01:20:21.420 Wow.
01:20:22.120 Okay.
01:20:22.400 Ooh.
01:20:23.120 Yeah.
01:20:23.940 For context, in both cases, Mexico and India, the amount of remittance revenue exceeds those nations' entire trade surplus with the U.S.
01:20:32.740 Okay?
01:20:33.320 Wow.
01:20:33.560 Now, I'm just going to read, Nate, I didn't send this to you because I read it late, right before I came here.
01:20:40.120 I'm just going to read a couple of statements from Childress' article.
01:20:44.120 He says this. 0.98
01:20:45.700 So, to recap, we are paying migrants to settle here. 0.99
01:20:49.720 then we're paying ngos to rally them into street warfare then we're paying the cops to clean up the 0.99
01:20:56.580 mess then we're paying the hospitals for protest related injuries and we've been giving their home 0.98
01:21:02.800 countries hundreds of billions of dollars in tax-free remittances to boot remittances are
01:21:08.980 a direct revenue source and a pressure release valve for their own broken economies let the poor
01:21:14.280 leave, collect free income from the US, and avoid the messy business of governance. No need to build
01:21:20.140 their own infrastructure, fix their education, or fund their health care. American suckers will do 0.97
01:21:25.580 it for you. Every dollar sent abroad is a dollar not spent in the US, not invested in local 0.98
01:21:32.800 businesses, not saved in American banks, not taxed to fix our own potholes. We are underwriting
01:21:38.400 failed socialist states by exporting our own paychecks um and then that's how he goes on
01:21:44.600 from there well said i i found a great way to cut uh 200 billion dollars here uh very easy
01:21:50.140 just uh let me know yep yeah very very good idea so the cycle of we're paying for this right on
01:21:57.900 it's it's like when you add up all the ways you pay taxes you pay taxes on the money you earn
01:22:01.900 then on money you spend you know like all all of that it's this kind of cycle yep we're paying
01:22:07.040 them we're paying the ngos or paying the all we're doing it not only for our country but for
01:22:11.020 every country in the world basically like america i i don't think there's hardly any phrase that
01:22:16.640 that's more accurate and true like we are a tax farm and not just for our government we're a tax
01:22:22.600 farm for the world and that's what it's been for a very long time and i think those are some of the
01:22:27.980 things that we've talked about like with um with immigration in the past you know in some
01:22:32.800 conversations you know michael and and i like um and our elders and deacons even had last night but
01:22:38.740 just um we have to remember that um this is god's world it's his order that he set up and natural
01:22:46.640 affections are not they're they they they don't go away quickly right and they're not supposed to
01:22:52.720 that's a that's actually a good thing that's a loving thing that god built the world and built
01:22:58.480 in us and so the idea of like well uh they're americans now and their allegiance is for america
01:23:04.660 well number one um and again it's not just the illegal immigrants the protesters many of the
01:23:10.880 illegal immigrants are not present so they're hiding you know under the rafters you know they
01:23:14.720 don't want to get deported by so these are people who they're not the illegal they're the legal
01:23:19.020 immigrants who are either green carded or on a visa or some of them citizens and you look at the
01:23:24.280 the videos that we've shown many of them are hispanic right because uh and and then not just
01:23:30.620 that but like what we're talking about with remittance um it's like well they're they're
01:23:35.500 american now and they're eating apple pie and they they've memorized the declaration of
01:23:39.740 independence and uh and they're even conservative they voted for trump uh but they're still sending
01:23:45.520 a sizable portion of what they're making uh not to patron american businesses or that but back to
01:23:52.100 their home country and again i'm not even saying that that sentiment is wrong correct i would do
01:23:57.000 the same thing yep if i couldn't find work in my country right and i wanted to feed and care for
01:24:03.340 my family and extended family me and my family we would move to another country or or if for
01:24:09.540 whatever reason i couldn't bring them that would break my heart but if it's like i stay with them
01:24:13.460 and we starve or i or i leave them and they eat then i would leave and i would be sending the
01:24:19.460 lion's share of my paycheck back to my my parents my wife my children like yeah that's that's what
01:24:27.460 people do right so we're not even it's not even sitting here and saying um uh and so there's 0.97
01:24:33.220 americans and then there's mexicans and can't you see how mexicans are just morally objectively more 0.88
01:24:38.340 nefarious right no it's it's that's not what we're saying like americans would do the same 0.99
01:24:44.240 thing if it was reversed this is what people do and so the credit to them they work terrible jobs
01:24:50.020 with long hours like if you commute across the border as some of them do in san diego
01:24:53.640 three hour commute three in the morning work 50 hours sweatshop conditions for low pay
01:24:58.380 and haul it back home like credit on the fathers that provide we just wish you do it on the other
01:25:03.300 side of the border right right and so my point is just to say that um my point is to say that like
01:25:09.520 people human beings are not fungible widgets they're not cogs in a machine you can't just
01:25:16.760 take this group and put them over here and take that group and put them over here
01:25:21.540 those heritage does not does not just evaporate it's built into the world and so the idea that
01:25:31.340 like and that and that's why and i was encouraged i don't know if you saw this michael and west but
01:25:36.700 i i've been encouraged um by matt walsh who's a little bit more normie than than we are but he's
01:25:42.880 got good stuff i don't i'm not saying that to disparage him um i i appreciate him that's why
01:25:47.500 i'm bringing it up but what i'm saying is that even the guys like matt walsh with you know the
01:25:53.100 israeli wire you know like even even that guy um has has uh he said today i think he tweeted
01:26:02.140 something and i think it was charlie kirk who who's also pretty normie you know and he retweeted
01:26:07.940 them and and either matt or charlie or both they said i'm paraphrasing um but they said uh there
01:26:15.820 has to be um a full stop on uh legal so zero they said zero uh illegal immigration and uh they said
01:26:26.000 net zero for legal immigration and and they went further they said net zero for uh legal immigration
01:26:31.920 which means it's only when x many leaves right that you can uh you can allow legally zero illegal
01:26:39.000 but legally the same number that left um no and and then they went further and they said
01:26:44.680 um and none of it can be from um uh any third world country none of it can be from anything
01:26:52.100 it has to be um it has to be people who are more um american compatible right compatible now they
01:27:01.340 didn't say like it only um it can only be white people right but but still they're saying like
01:27:06.460 yeah but it should be canada or like we have canadians in our church and we're like no we
01:27:12.200 don't want immigration but all three of us like the two families canadian families in our church
01:27:17.600 as they were going through the process to get their green card we were praying on our knees
01:27:23.300 like yeah dear jesus please let them get it and he answered the prayers yeah and he answered
01:27:28.420 praise god and we're like please let them get it and it's like well that seems hypocritical
01:27:32.860 doesn't that's isn't that inconsistent you're having all this public facing content about
01:27:37.120 immigration it has to stop uh yeah but um uh it's different well what makes it different
01:27:43.200 uh number one and this is first and foremost and that's why i make it number one um they are bible
01:27:48.760 believing christians who love the lord right number two they're not coming from haiti they're
01:27:54.920 coming from canada right my brother in christ they're western there is a difference in
01:28:00.100 compatibility with our western nation when we get an illegal immigrant a legal christian immigrant
01:28:06.860 from another western nation and it matters and and if you don't um there are going to be the the
01:28:14.980 difference is there's already i have difference you know we have some differences it's not much
01:28:19.960 but every now and then we'll be talking about something and they're like ah that must be an
01:28:22.880 american thing one of them brought ketchup chips one time to a potluck and they brought ketchup
01:28:27.660 chips and i just pulled them aside like and you said i will make sure you don't get your green
01:28:31.840 you're like you bring like millions have to go back you have to go back no that happened and
01:28:36.660 but that you guys get my point yeah it's just saying that like these but i i just thought like
01:28:41.720 this is oh and hard working and productive and we're not even taking like i'm a man and i haven't
01:28:45.980 worked in 20 years zero hand out like they're coming over here with their skills and their
01:28:49.740 money yep they already have dual taxes canada and the u.s and boosting our economy uh yeah so
01:28:56.860 so it yeah it's it's not the same like people like well that's hypocritical it's a double standard
01:29:01.760 no no it's not zero illegal immigration and net zero legal immigration and even with the legal
01:29:10.440 immigration that keeps us at net zero when people leave this many can come in um that we uh wasn't
01:29:16.980 that showing favoritism yes it is not a sinful favoritism but it is it is a morally permissible
01:29:25.440 form of favoritism we are america we're a western nation so we are going to be looking at legal
01:29:33.360 immigration that is that is capped very very narrow from other western nations of course
01:29:40.940 i love deacon st john he said i wonder if remittance tax can be distinguished by country
01:29:45.560 like a million percent tax if you're sending money to israel or afghanistan that would be
01:29:49.760 another example that could be one thing if uh you know somebody's from germany right hey we can't
01:29:54.100 homeschool our kids they move here yeah mom and dad are back there i'm not sitting here 200 tax
01:29:59.280 on that yeah if you're sending it back to india to feed a full enclave because the american dollar
01:30:03.860 goes farther there like yeah you're going to pay some steep taxes and we would encourage you to
01:30:07.820 remigrate which huge news foreign-born workers like a million of them left the workforce wow i
01:30:13.760 think of the last couple months i just saw it on x i don't have all the details but uh
01:30:16.800 then that's one of also the effects of this kind of rhetoric like why do you guys talk about
01:30:20.360 immigration so much because it encourages people to say i'm going back to my homeland yes and it is
01:30:26.740 the it is by like it is the humane it is not nefarious it's not malicious it's a humane way
01:30:33.200 of doing it that people would say i'm going to go back to my homeland and and help my country
01:30:38.960 and help my country and and it's like well why germany and not um you know what why no uh no
01:30:45.080 taxes or small tax on the remittance from uh the guy who came from germany versus the guy who came
01:30:50.040 from india and again like no no apology made uh and and no ambiguity i'll be very clear um because
01:30:58.920 germany god save them like they're not doing great but still germany as bad as it is germany
01:31:07.280 is far more compatible with the united states than india i'm descended from germans like those
01:31:12.820 are in sense my people there's people i'm related to there india is not compatible compatible with
01:31:19.020 the united states not religiously uh not not culturally not in in hardly any way yeah like i
01:31:26.660 we you see indian guys like i remember andrew is gonna say is like yeah there was a guy in our
01:31:32.360 small town who um who bought like a hotel and um and and it was a beautiful hotel but shortly after 1.00
01:31:40.980 he bought it um it it started getting you know like kind of ugly and and not being maintained
01:31:47.580 and he's like and i and i had a friend's day and i went and like picked him up and and i was looking
01:31:52.640 at you know walking in the downstairs in the lobby and it was a flea market it was literally
01:31:58.340 like this rug and these tennis rackets and like literally with price tags everywhere and he didn't
01:32:03.880 say this you know like being polite but he was like i wanted to say like not not not like something
01:32:09.340 malicious like you dirty dollar like not but just hey hey friend we don't do that here right this
01:32:14.980 is america yeah we don't turn our hotel lobbies into flea markets i've had america people tell me
01:32:20.540 that they work with these indian tech workers who come over and it's like a team huddle icebreaker
01:32:25.360 question you ask them like where would you go if you go on vacation and they all say home because
01:32:29.840 they miss home they miss where they grew up when you talk about humane thing that's actually loving
01:32:35.100 to say go back we would very much so like you to we will give you a 500 southwest voucher to do so
01:32:41.620 but you're not asking people to go back to a world they don't know a language they don't speak
01:32:45.300 people they're not related to going back home go home right one of the most meaningful places for
01:32:49.760 any person right i still remember when i lived in in taiwan um occasionally but taiwanese people
01:32:56.140 are very polite um so much so that it's hard to have honest conversations with people sometimes
01:33:02.120 but that's that's a different thing but occasionally um i worked at an american
01:33:07.140 school and occasionally i would hear from people that i was close to we love that you're here we
01:33:11.780 love that you're planning a church um we even love that the school that you work at is educating
01:33:16.680 our people but a lot of the taiwanese kids that go to your school graduate and go to an american 0.93
01:33:24.060 university and never come back and they said it's probably their best kids we need them yeah
01:33:29.860 and they said we need them here yes yep and that you know that that really i thought that's
01:33:35.620 like my ministry is is functioning practically as a pipeline that extracts the best yep the best
01:33:44.300 most gifted individuals of this country that would ensure at least in part i'm playing a part
01:33:50.520 not like not like i'm doing the whole thing exclusively my school but but we're part of
01:33:56.080 what is going to keep this country down yeah and like that and that's where i i but but my point
01:34:03.200 all the way back to charlie kirk yeah matt walsh like and i and i'm encouraged because
01:34:10.080 like this this conversation is um it's finally gotten to the point where it's um
01:34:17.780 it's unavoidable every like your grandma is going to be having this conversation your
01:34:24.760 your aunts and here's the tweet right here we can read it actually okay great put it on oh cool
01:34:29.300 yeah go ahead nate it's time this is so this is charlie kirk he's retweeting matt walsh 0.82
01:34:34.400 It's time to ban third world immigration, legal or illegal. 1.00
01:34:39.420 We've reached our limit, and we have a huge cultural, educational, housing, financial, 1.00
01:34:45.540 and essential services problem to fix now because of it. 1.00
01:34:49.860 We need a net zero immigration moratorium with a ban on all third worlders.
01:34:58.720 That's different than what I've heard him say in the past.
01:35:01.020 net zero on legal immigration and then even the ones that you take with the legal immigration
01:35:06.960 um it's not anyone right third world is banned yep right beautiful and we are the moderates for
01:35:14.860 the record so it's not these three extremists sitting here our position is moderate right
01:35:19.380 some people were like uh deport them all and people were in the comments deport like they're
01:35:24.340 rioters in la deportation yeah you live uh no like we want a moderate humane christian response 1.00
01:35:32.020 and banning all third worlders is perfectly within those bounds and if you don't like us 1.00
01:35:36.440 you don't like that uh you're gonna hate gen z yeah yeah yeah we've said it before but like um 0.99
01:35:43.520 you know my position is i mean you could you know like there are guys who would say like no we need
01:35:49.880 to go all the way back um to the 60s you know when a lot of this started happening um in terms
01:35:55.880 of deportations and i would say no just a um just a moderate 50 million just and that is i would say
01:36:04.260 that's the last 10 years i really i really think that's the last 10 years so a moderate 50 million
01:36:09.940 deported that's that's it um so about what is that a sixth of the country yeah deported and then and
01:36:17.760 then exactly what they just said full moratorium on legal immigration that it's a net zero so only
01:36:24.140 if if uh and that doesn't count the 50 million people after deporting then if more leave um then
01:36:30.620 you can take some in and then i would i would the only thing i would maybe go further on is i would
01:36:34.660 say um a ban uh on uh the third world i would also say a ban uh beyond the third world that china's
01:36:42.900 not the third world but there'd be a ban on china for me it would be a ban on the third world
01:36:47.740 for sure but also a ban on uh all non-western countries and then of course if i'm king and i 1.00
01:36:54.980 you know get to have everything i want then i also would say and they must be christian right
01:36:59.000 so i think dual citizenship too you say you can obviously hold your american one but you have to
01:37:04.140 renounce this other one short of you being literally i don't know a prince a diplomat
01:37:08.180 practically speaking no ordinary citizen can hold citizenship we're having trouble with our identity
01:37:13.040 with that if you don't want to choose america then you have citizenship in another country
01:37:17.120 and you can go back there and the last thing that i think we would add is and no voting uh rights
01:37:22.280 until the third generation right right right so that you'll be you're giving voting rights at all
01:37:26.860 you you'll be protected you won't be exploited you know you have legal you have legal protections
01:37:31.780 and yeah but yes you have all your rights under the law right but but not voting um until third
01:37:37.380 generation yeah and then we would say and then that person then is an american citizen but not
01:37:43.020 an american but their grandchildren right over time right eventually their descendants would be
01:37:48.300 not only citizens with voting rights but also um american in every in every sense these are like
01:37:54.960 these are pretty i think pretty reasonable positions they're biblical positions um and
01:38:03.580 if we could do that it literally it would change the country just for the good for the good i mean
01:38:08.180 a big change your children would grow up in much closer to paradise not literally paradise inside
01:38:13.560 of heaven but uh as far as your safety as far as economic opportunity like think about it we send
01:38:17.740 billions and billions that have for a long time and we have many people here that you would need
01:38:22.340 to have strong rule of law but over their lifetime negative 800 000 impact in the gdp millions of
01:38:28.240 them so you deal with that you deal with remittances you deal with all the crime and everything
01:38:31.920 you get rid of all of that the amount of prosperity yes that we would have and that's
01:38:36.820 Prosperity then does go on to bless other people.
01:38:40.140 So it's not just prosperity for prosperity's sake.
01:38:42.020 Can we hoard it all up here?
01:38:43.260 Once you've recovered your national identity and you're flourishing economically, you can begin to think, maybe not quite act, but think about what is the best use of these.
01:38:50.660 So not just funding them, building a school, but practically instruction in the gospel, probably by sponsoring locals.
01:38:57.000 Guys, we could live and our children could live in a much different, much healthier, safer, flourishing nation.
01:39:03.840 You just have to be a little bit racist.
01:39:05.160 yeah well if if you do that bar is high they're going to call it racism right they're going to
01:39:10.040 call it racism but we're saying no this country is uh it's is more compatible or less compatible
01:39:16.400 with america that's that's what it comes down to and i was going to say a couple cherries on top
01:39:21.640 this sunday that we're building right now because we're really cooking um i i would add with that
01:39:26.580 um furthermore so we talked about the third generation and that's a general equity principle
01:39:31.440 from the old testament uh when it came to israel and and uh and full assimilation in israel and and
01:39:37.780 i would um like like even when you think of you know king david it's like okay so you have you
01:39:43.840 know ruth and she's a moabitess um but you know ruth marries boaz they beget obed um uh and then
01:39:52.480 obed begets jesse so now you're on the third generation ruth was first um and then jesse
01:39:58.500 begets david so by the time you get to david uh if my math is right on that so so uh obed being the
01:40:05.800 son of ruth would have been 50 um uh israelite and then and then you get to um uh obed and then
01:40:14.200 jesse yeah so that was obed is 50 jesse is 75 david's going to be um 87 87 and a half 80 87.5
01:40:24.160 percent israelite and so it's like and he's the best king in israel and i i don't think in the
01:40:29.640 province of god i mean everything god does is intentional especially in scripture i don't think
01:40:35.180 it was a coincidence that um the second king of israel and the first good king who become a man
01:40:40.960 after god's own heart who becomes like the quintessential example of a king in israel and a
01:40:46.120 type of the true king jesus um and who writes a large portion of the psalms and all this kind of
01:40:53.620 stuff um it wasn't uh it wasn't ruth's son right right it was her great grandson right and i think
01:41:00.820 that i think that timing mattered actually i think that that's significant so i was gonna say so all
01:41:05.620 these things so like third generation till you have voting rights and truly being american but
01:41:09.620 you can have an american citizenship in terms of protection under the law and all those kinds of
01:41:13.420 things um if you do it legally the net zero moratorium on legal immigration and banning
01:41:18.500 third world countries and i would argue further for it to be western countries if if it's truly
01:41:23.820 a christian nation then religion should be taken into account are you a christian versus being an
01:41:28.560 atheist or buddhist or something even if you're living in a western country you're coming from 0.98
01:41:32.780 canada but you're um you're a muslim no i don't think we need the muslim um you know coming even 0.95
01:41:40.160 if he's coming from canada so considering all that and then and then i would add to it just a 1.00
01:41:45.300 dash of um of abolishing universal suffrage and um and then english um yeah and then yep you have
01:41:55.280 to speak english uh certainly so but then getting rid of of universal suffrage uh when it comes to
01:42:01.040 our actual voting i had one more that i was going to throw on there for good measure is a christian
01:42:05.320 yeah he did yeah i already said christian uh but getting rid of the universal suffrage
01:42:09.140 um oh and um getting rid of universal suffrage and then um for your heritage americans people
01:42:17.700 who and when i say heritage american this is not what everybody means i'll speak for myself i won't
01:42:21.660 even speak for the two people on my left and right but for myself when i think of heritage americans
01:42:25.880 i am thinking of people who can trace their ancestry back in america for um many generations
01:42:34.160 people have been here for 200 like since the civil war you know 200 300 400 years so even
01:42:41.760 with heritage americans right that like they obviously would have the voting rights but but
01:42:46.600 not universal suffrage it would be a little bit different who gets to vote uh but then even with
01:42:51.640 heritage americans because there are some heritage americans who um are still a net negative on the
01:42:58.340 tax uh our taxes and who are committing crimes and all and so then the last piece is um a good
01:43:05.220 justice system that's tough on crime again um that's actually tough on crime like oh this person
01:43:11.940 you you go to jail right and so like if you did that um my goodness i mean wes is right like it
01:43:20.060 like there's no utopia on earth it's not heaven there's still sin but my goodness like uh we like
01:43:27.020 for us living how we live today we'd be like where am i yeah like i would go to the park yeah i would
01:43:33.480 go to costco and i would be like what what where am i right now it feels like america you know it'd
01:43:40.860 be incredible so all right um i think we had one super chat maybe two questions okay let's do it
01:43:47.800 yeah super chat thanks seth go ahead read it yep seth been an active commenter five dollars from
01:43:53.120 Seth, God bless you guys.
01:43:54.340 May God grow your audience.
01:43:55.600 Thanks so much.
01:43:56.740 I think so.
01:43:57.420 And then Cosmic Treason with a good question.
01:43:59.440 Right Response Ministries, how would you identify or define black pill 0.84
01:44:03.240 and how or should we gatekeep it from the work of Christian nationalism
01:44:07.240 slash the reformative movement?
01:44:09.900 Watch our AI episode this week.
01:44:13.000 That will not help.
01:44:14.960 We would have to ban ourselves.
01:44:18.240 Yeah, we were pretty discouraged on that episode.
01:44:23.120 yeah i i yeah like there's um there's something to be said for um you know abandon your post
01:44:31.920 knocking that guy out that's right you know and saying to war yeah so i i just i guess i would
01:44:38.000 just want to distinguish um what when i think of a black pill uh what i don't think about
01:44:44.940 is uh i don't think the antithesis of a black pill is naivety like this this baseless optimism
01:44:52.020 right um like my my three-year-old daughter is really optimistic but she does not need to be
01:45:00.460 leading anything you know like she like believes nor is she well informed she believes in a world
01:45:05.260 of like rainbows and ponies you know and unicorns and and the unicorn piece she got that from dad
01:45:11.120 because i believe and giants and dragons and we talk about it every night before bedtime uh but
01:45:16.980 But my point is that the guy who is optimistic, but it's baseless, is not a leader.
01:45:27.280 And so anyway, so when I think of the antithesis of a black pill, I'm not thinking of a baseless
01:45:33.040 optimism, you know, and just wishful thinking.
01:45:36.500 I think of a guy who, so to state it in the reverse, black pilling is not looking, taking 0.95
01:45:44.620 a good hard look at reality and admitting honestly how bleak things really are that's not black
01:45:50.400 pilling black pilling to me if i was to sum it up in a word is despair right like there there is a
01:45:57.320 there are times like there have been plenty of times where like all throughout biblical history
01:46:01.780 and and throughout the last 2000 years of history where people empowered by god um they were not
01:46:08.740 being uh baselessly optimistic they were looking uh at reality and and and being honest about it
01:46:16.360 and saying yeah the odds are a hundred to one like gideon but gideon doesn't despair he gets to work
01:46:24.760 you know the the lord can win by many or by few so so anyways yeah so true black it's that scene
01:46:31.040 in the lord of the rings where they're in helms deep and theoden king is just there what can men
01:46:37.360 in a panic against yeah and then aragorn comes and says right take your sword ride out and so
01:46:43.620 the king believed equally as he was riding out that they were all going to die yep he's still 0.87
01:46:48.600 as much as he did before he got on that horse he didn't become retarded yes he was still like yes 0.88
01:46:53.160 he was still sentient and and and was able to say yeah like um unless a miracle happens there's no 0.88
01:46:59.980 way we're going to win i'll give you historical examples yeah enough of this fiction the charge
01:47:04.360 of the light brigade in the alibi yeah like we remember them and lionize them right because they
01:47:08.660 were men who didn't just it's over they literally like just throw their arms down call it but they
01:47:13.760 said we'll die and we'll die gloriously and then here's the deal sometimes in history i think of
01:47:18.660 the wing to sars in uh mid 15th century i think it was where you have this little city and it's been
01:47:24.200 uh for like months they've been holed up and at the very last second like prussian special military
01:47:30.240 comes in and saves them and even today they still have parades from that so those people in there i
01:47:34.600 mean there was no like we've got them on the cell phone i can see them live streaming they're almost
01:47:39.460 here right we're probably going to die but we're going to fight as long as possible in the event
01:47:44.100 that we don't i think that's the difference it's not we're going to lose and uh and i recognize it
01:47:49.500 i've said to joel a couple times like it'll be a couple months in between but we're going to lose 0.79
01:47:53.860 aren't we our people are retarded about every two months west uh we have that that conversation 0.79
01:47:59.360 where he's like we're gonna lose and um and and i usually and a month later you come to me and like 0.77
01:48:05.120 you're right we are gonna yeah i usually respond by saying i i think so um but but not not ultimately
01:48:12.600 right i'm i'm still post-millennial west west is uh he's on life support post-millennialism is on
01:48:20.120 life support at this point it's it's uh pretty much gone um but like i do believe that we win
01:48:26.520 and i have not changed on that at all and i believe we win because the question is temporally
01:48:30.500 how the stages but but when i say i believe we win i actually believe that christ will win
01:48:35.500 through the church in this temporal um earthly age uh progressively and gradually but i believe
01:48:41.660 there are going to be some big dips so like when west says i think we're going to lose
01:48:45.100 in terms of like this battle right now like our country our lifetime um what's happening with ai
01:48:53.600 when he's like um he's not saying i think we're going to lose forever or always and everywhere
01:48:58.940 and every way but he's like with this situation palantir i think we're going to lose and i look
01:49:04.880 at that and i'm like yeah we're going to lose yeah i think so um but neither one of us says
01:49:11.100 and therefore you know cash it in you know like no it's like ride with me let's ride out and we'll
01:49:19.040 meet peter teal you know like with you know with whatever we've got yeah with whatever we got and
01:49:25.560 we're gonna fight and um well who's that classic poem what better way for man to die than facing
01:49:30.480 fearful odds for the ashes of his fathers and temples of his gods like that's in our western
01:49:35.320 memory right yeah yeah same thing with the blood memory the iliad you know yeah the desperate
01:49:40.280 battle in the last fight right yep to die in glorious battle um not to die because you quit
01:49:46.900 or you gave up so black pilling long answer but black pilling to me is not admitting how bad
01:49:52.860 things really are to do anything other than that i think is madness and foolishness and and borders 0.97
01:49:59.280 on sin um we're at commanding to be discernment so to uh to to exercise discernment so to be foolish
01:50:05.620 is actually to sin um so so uh that's that can't be what it means to black pill to admit the truth
01:50:13.400 when the truth is bleak so to me to black pill is to despair like i want guys who are not bright-eyed
01:50:21.060 and bushy-tailed you know and they just you know just finished their first you know uh kenneth
01:50:27.100 gentry book of post-millennialism and like we're gonna win and we're gonna win now you know and
01:50:33.460 we're gonna beat everything and and i talk about you know palantino what's palantino like that guy
01:50:39.980 is no good to me you know like i mean god bless him and maybe five years he might like a john
01:50:45.000 mark situation you know like a little bit later on send me send me so and so um but here and now
01:50:50.720 what what i want is uh the guys who actually have done done the reading they know what's going on in
01:50:57.300 the world they they know what's going on with israel they know what's going on with palantir
01:51:02.320 they know what's going on with our government um and and then they also in the same breath are like
01:51:09.540 um glorious battle you know so i think i think that's that's what matters honestly i i named
01:51:18.440 him in another episode i don't know why i'm thinking about him i have not been binge watching
01:51:22.080 alex jones um but he's just been on on my mind a little bit um maybe partly because i might
01:51:30.560 um i might have an opportunity to go on his show which would be really cool
01:51:36.780 yeah and so but uh but i'm thinking about the uh the um the gifts where it's like um or do you say
01:51:44.500 jiff don't you no i say gift okay gift because i'm correct okay great all right so but the gifts
01:51:49.120 where it's like um they always circulate around thanksgiving time where it's like uh um my wife
01:51:55.540 and it says uh honey um uh please try not to talk about politics uh with my family at dinner right
01:52:02.300 and then it and then it says me um 15 minutes in and then it starts the video and it's alex jones
01:52:10.520 but they removed his info war table with like a thanksgiving table you know and he's like and i
01:52:16.340 can feel the demons and he's like he's like no you can't have my spirit you know like and i'm
01:52:23.960 thinking like that like alex jones actually is i like he's a great example like he's he's not
01:52:29.540 reform is the his theology is a little normie um you know the body type of a rectangle but but he
01:52:34.680 is a professing christian not not so much anymore he's lost he got on that ozempic oh did he i don't
01:52:40.860 know but um maybe not but i've seen him working out like he's he's actually putting some effort
01:52:45.460 in if he is taking pills he's i saw him like 2020 so i was like four feet from him and this is a big
01:52:51.380 boy he's a big boy no he's he's lost a lot he's uh good for him he's getting healthy but uh but
01:52:56.340 my point is um he uh he he he's a professing christian so i'm going to give him the benefit
01:53:02.500 of the doubt that he's a christian um he's not a reformed christian i don't think he's like
01:53:07.560 you know he probably is not super doctrinally savvy but i i think he is a christian and i think
01:53:13.100 he actually does exemplify the the right disposition of um the dude is not um he's not
01:53:21.200 sleeping at night because he thinks the world is as made with rainbows and puppies i mean that
01:53:26.320 that guy has looked down the rabbit hole you know and um and and knows a lot of the stuff and even
01:53:32.820 the things he's criticized are like well you know about the globalists but like you'll never say
01:53:36.480 anything about israel like to give him a little credit i mean he recently had nick flintas on the
01:53:41.740 show and he said i mean i you know he he he registered you know on the record like i don't
01:53:47.440 agree with some things with nick or whatever um he said but i think and he gave him credit he said
01:53:52.780 i think nick is right about this issue and it was about palantir and israeli intelligence
01:53:58.420 you know like alex's favorite country you know um and and but he was like i'm gonna follow the
01:54:05.420 truth right even when it leads to something like this and and so my point is like the dude knows
01:54:11.760 a lot of the negative things going on even that one so for anyone who say yeah but he doesn't
01:54:17.040 really know because he you know because he won't criticize you know our greatest ally well he he
01:54:21.980 just did and um and so he knows he's looked behind the curtain more than most and yet he's like and
01:54:28.960 i can feel the demon rising up but you won't have my spirit and you won't take my country and i just
01:54:35.080 think that that is a great example of not blackpilling right the dude is talking about
01:54:40.240 negative things like like for four hours a day since like the 20s yeah for like the last like
01:54:48.260 for the last 30 years literally the last 30 i was being funny no i know i know yeah you were saying
01:54:52.700 the 1620s but like um and yet he's like he's got every bit of a fighting spirit yeah as he ever did
01:55:02.540 so well that's literally faith like faith is the evidence of things hoped for and the conviction
01:55:07.400 of things not seen literally it's faith that enables you to say i don't see a way out of this
01:55:13.020 and yet i'm looking beyond what is seen and saying i'm not going to give up hope i'm not going to
01:55:17.300 despair and I'm not going to become bitter. And I'm going to fight even though practically I
01:55:21.820 cannot even imagine, see, behold, visualize any possible way out of this. And maybe you actually
01:55:27.880 don't temporally in the short term, but it is an act of faith and which God blesses and which God
01:55:34.020 favors that does look and say, but I'm still going to put my heart and soul into the fight
01:55:40.460 and go down swinging. Fortune favors faith. And there we go. All right. Well, thanks for tuning
01:55:46.220 in. God bless you guys. Stay in the fight.
