The NXR Podcast - THE LIVESTREAM - Israel Buys Tik Tok ｜ Social Media Crackdown

00:00:00 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.

00:00:03 I get it.

00:00:04 It's annoying.

00:00:05 Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.

00:00:07 When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm so that

00:00:12 our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.

00:00:16 You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries

00:00:20 aren't.

00:00:21 We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.

00:00:30 oy vey israel now has control over tiktok now it's not the government of israel in a formal

00:00:45 direct sense but it is many u.s companies making up about 80 percent of the ownership of tiktok

00:00:52 the social media platform and many of those companies especially the major shareholders

00:00:57 being run by guys who are explicitly Zionist, people who are very pro-Israel, and some of them

00:01:05 being Jewish in terms of their ethnicity. And the big concern previously that many people stated

00:01:10 was, in regards to TikTok, having a major power grab from China. Same kind of concept. It's not

00:01:19 that China, that the Chinese government formally and directly owned the platform of TikTok, but

00:01:24 it was a major Chinese company that comprised about 80% or the vast majority of ownership of

00:01:33 TikTok. And so the concern was, well, there's going to be Chinese interest, right? There's

00:01:39 going to be the government of China, even though they don't own the platform directly by a Chinese

00:01:44 company based in China owning TikTok, there's going to be this overlap. There's going to be

00:01:51 a conflict of interest. The Chinese government is going to put pressure on this Chinese business

00:01:56 to monitor and suppress certain forms of speech or boost the algo in a certain direction that

00:02:03 benefits China and their propaganda, the things that suit them, the things that favor them at

00:02:08 the cost of other countries like America. Well, it's the same principle now applied in a different

00:02:14 direction. It's American companies now that are the shareholders owning 80% of TikTok,

00:02:19 but with those companies, Oracle being one of them, one of the major companies, they are Zionist 0.78

00:02:26 and have been explicitly clear about this. And this isn't just speculation, right? So this is

00:02:31 not just your typical, you know, low IQ anti-Semitism. We're going to bring some of the

00:02:37 receipts and show you how TikTok just in the last few days is already suppressing some forms of

00:02:43 speech that previously were allowed and what forms of speech is it suppressing well you guessed it

00:02:49 the forms of speech that Israel doesn't like Netanyahu the prime minister of Israel has already

00:02:54 come out and is beginning to try to manipulate and influence and even pay off certain social

00:03:01 media influencers with a predominant presence on TikTok that are on the right to be pro-Israel

00:03:08 and to push pro-Israel rhetoric. Israel owns TikTok. That is a perfectly, it's a general

00:03:15 statement, but it is generally true. Israel, for all intents and purposes, now owns TikTok. 0.84

00:03:22 And here's the deal. They will not be content with merely owning TikTok. They're going to come 0.82

00:03:29 for everything. They're going to come for X. They're going to come for your favorite platform. 0.82

00:03:35 And when that happens, right now, criticism towards Israel, especially for pretty much everybody in our country, in America under the age of 45, on the left or the right, criticism towards Israel among young people, even on the right, is at an all-time high.

00:03:52 Israel knows this. Netanyahu knows this. Israeli intelligence and government, they know this, and they are making a major push to stop it.

00:04:00 They know that they're in trouble. They know that the pro-Israel, Israel-first gravy train in these

00:04:05 United States is coming to a screeching halt. It's coming to a screeching halt. They have 0.61

00:04:10 maybe 10, maybe 15 years left. The boomers are not going to be here forever. The relations that 1.00

00:04:17 the United States has had with Israel and a favorable view of Israel is coming to an end.

00:04:23 They know that they need to capitalize on the younger generation. They know that the left is

00:04:29 pretty much a lost cause, but maybe they could capitalize on young people on the right. So

00:04:34 they're paying influencers. They're buying social media platforms. This is the play. And they're

00:04:39 not going to be content with TikTok alone. They're going to push further. They're going to try to

00:04:43 take it all. That's the episode. We'll bring receipts. We'll show you what's happening and

00:04:48 some of our predictions for what's to come. Let's tune in.

00:05:00 A big theme for this year has been fifth generation warfare. 0.99

00:05:03 We think of first and second generation.

00:05:04 That's sticks and stones, right?

00:05:06 You go out, whoever's stronger, you just pulverize the opponent.

00:05:09 But we've reached the point where actually the real battle,

00:05:11 it isn't really even fought kinetically.

00:05:12 It's not even being fought entirely with drones and tanks and robots.

00:05:17 But it's a battle for information.

00:05:19 This is why Palantir and J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel, it's a big deal.

00:05:23 If you control information that people can see,

00:05:25 my goodness, you control entire narratives.

00:05:28 If people are just simply not allowed to say certain things, I mean, then you've effectively

00:05:32 made it so that certain conversations, ideas, thoughts, history can't even be discussed.

00:05:38 Think of the Chinese Communist Party. 0.88

00:05:40 They've censored the entire history of the Tiananmen Square when they murdered their 0.97

00:05:44 own citizens.

00:05:45 They've simply said, we don't want you to see that.

00:05:47 And so we've effectively, through our firewall, has meant that 1.3 billion people have no

00:05:51 access to this history.

00:05:53 Access to information is important.

00:05:55 And we're living in an information age.

00:05:57 And TikTok, like it or love it, and I hate it, I don't use it.

00:06:01 I think a lot of us would agree it's brain rot.

00:06:03 There's a huge generation, 10 years old to probably about 30,

00:06:07 they use this thing every day.

00:06:09 So you can love it or hate it, but the fact is,

00:06:12 maybe it's not your kids, maybe it's not even your church,

00:06:15 there's a lot of people that are on it.

00:06:17 And so your ability, if you could direct TikTok,

00:06:19 hey, this can be shown, this can be shown,

00:06:22 we'll allow, for example, this perverse thing,

00:06:24 We'll allow this material, but not this.

00:06:27 My goodness, you can shape an entire generation,

00:06:29 billions and billions of young people.

00:06:31 Kings could only dream of the power

00:06:33 to influence what 500 million young men are watching.

00:06:37 Think about that.

00:06:38 Back in the day, nobody had that level of control.

00:06:41 But with globalism, for one,

00:06:43 so a kind of universally accessible framework and internet,

00:06:46 and with corporations that are huge and massive in scale,

00:06:50 you can control an entire generation,

00:06:52 showing them this, not that.

00:06:54 And so that's why this matters.

00:06:56 Back in April 2024,

00:06:58 relating to these privacy concerns,

00:07:00 relating to the control

00:07:01 of foreign government could have,

00:07:02 Congress, the U.S. Congress,

00:07:04 passed a bill that said,

00:07:05 TikTok, unless they are sold

00:07:07 to a domestically owned

00:07:08 United States ownership,

00:07:10 they're going to have to shut down.

00:07:12 You can't take this data.

00:07:13 You can't be stationed 0.98

00:07:14 in a foreign country,

00:07:15 be collecting all this information.

00:07:17 I mean, your phone for certain iPhones,

00:07:20 they can track eye movement.

00:07:21 So it's not just, oh, I watched this for 1.2 seconds.

00:07:24 Where did their eyes go?

00:07:25 What colors were they looking at?

00:07:27 And so Congress came out, maybe one of the best things they've done in a year.

00:07:30 They haven't done a lot.

00:07:31 And they said, look, this has to be sold and be onshore.

00:07:34 This has to be in the United States.

00:07:35 You can't keep collecting this data.

00:07:37 This is a big deal, if you remember, towards the end of last year.

00:07:40 Is TikTok going to shut down?

00:07:41 You had a million Zoomers cried out in agony when there looked like, I think it was about 30 minutes.

00:07:45 It went offline.

00:07:46 And that was because our Congress, who we elected and the president signed it, said,

00:07:50 hey tiktok has to go this is being this is nefarious they're gathering data that they

00:07:55 shouldn't have well trump came out and they they formed a deal to basically extend the deadline

00:08:00 so even when congress does something good if it's too good they say well we didn't actually mean it

00:08:05 we're not actually going to shut it down right so to facilitate tiktok staying open the owning

00:08:10 company it's called bite dance and it's uh headquartered in china again not the chinese

00:08:14 government as you were saying but a chinese company that chinese company will be susceptible

00:08:19 to Chinese governmental pressure. 0.99

00:08:22 Yep, exactly.

00:08:23 So they've said and they've worked through

00:08:24 and Trump's actually brokered this deal

00:08:26 to sell it to a number of different firms

00:08:28 in the United States.

00:08:29 And so when you have something

00:08:30 that's worth in the billions and billions,

00:08:31 hundreds of billions of dollars,

00:08:33 that's not just going to be one investor

00:08:34 coming in and buying it.

00:08:35 It's not even going to be a government buying it,

00:08:37 but it's going to be a package deal

00:08:38 where some will manage handling,

00:08:39 some will manage, for example, moderation,

00:08:42 some will handle finances.

00:08:43 This is a huge sale of literally

00:08:45 one of the most popular social media platforms.

00:08:48 And where it comes in that we're saying Israel specifically has an interest in it.

00:08:52 Again, we're not talking about the Israeli government.

00:08:54 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he's not taking an ownership stake in TikTok.

00:08:59 But this has been something that we've got at a lot this year. 0.92

00:09:01 When you have people in a nation that you could call them hyphenated Americans, right?

00:09:05 So they have one allegiance, American. 0.55

00:09:09 We've got paperwork Americans. 0.54

00:09:10 We've got paperwork Americans.

00:09:11 We've got Tylenol Americans.

00:09:13 We've got all kinds of Americans. 0.99

00:09:15 It's like Somali American, right?

00:09:16 Ilhan Omar.

00:09:17 Well, you literally see her saying, well, I have duties to America, sure.

00:09:20 I'm literally representative.

00:09:22 But also, I kind of really like Somalia. 0.99

00:09:24 The reality is there should be no hyphenated American. 0.84

00:09:26 You're American or you're not.

00:09:27 So I would say that Somalia, you know, so it's not to say all the Somalians, you know, 0.96

00:09:32 let's just start calling them Americans instead of Somalian Americans.

00:09:34 I think they should be called Somalians.

00:09:36 I also think they should live in Somalia.

00:09:37 That was Teddy Roosevelt's point back at the early 1900s. 0.98

00:09:40 He's like, there is no such thing as a hyphenated American.

00:09:43 Do not come here.

00:09:43 I'm a French American. 0.98

00:09:44 I'm Japanese American.

00:09:46 I'm this American.

00:09:47 He's like, no, you leave all that behind.

00:09:48 It's Ruth back in the Old Testament.

00:09:50 Exactly.

00:09:50 We use this example all the time.

00:09:51 Your God, your nation.

00:09:52 So she doesn't say, hey, I'm going to set up little Chinatown,

00:09:55 little Moab town in the middle of Jerusalem.

00:09:58 No, when she makes the switch, 0.76

00:10:01 when she decides to follow her mother-in-law, Naomi,

00:10:03 and go back to Israel because now the famine has lifted,

00:10:05 there's grain in Israel, and her husband, Naomi's son, is now dead,

00:10:10 and her sister-in-law, her husband, Naomi's other son, is dead,

00:10:14 and Naomi's husband is dead.

00:10:16 She makes the decision, I'm not going to stay in Moab. 0.97

00:10:19 I'm going to go with my brother-in-law, Naomi, back to Israel, 0.97

00:10:22 and your people shall be my people, your God shall be my God. 0.96

00:10:25 She's not putting one foot, straddling the line, one foot in both camps. 0.65

00:10:29 She doesn't go back to Israel to be a Moab Israelite. 0.82

00:10:34 She goes to be an Israelite. 0.97

00:10:35 So there's a forsaking of her foreign gods from Moab. 1.00

00:10:39 There's a forsaking of her Moabite people, 1.00

00:10:41 and she's going to be fully bought into Israel. 1.00

00:10:44 Yep. And so when it comes to Jewish Americans, these are individuals that by descent, they would be racially, ethnically Jewish, a pattern that's emerged. And I mean, even a California professor, Kevin McDonald's written a huge book on this. He's a professor, University of California, evolutionary biologist. And he says, yeah, there's a certain in-group kind of preference that they have for one another. It's not anti-Semitic. It's not a conspiracy theory. Different people that originate from the same point before they move, they share a type of cohesion that they don't share with other people. 0.62

00:11:14 German-Americans.

00:11:15 German-Americans coming from Germany, moved to America.

00:11:18 A lot of them moved to the Midwest.

00:11:19 There's huge Dutch communities in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

00:11:22 Why?

00:11:23 Because a lot of Dutch people that left the Netherlands, moved to America, and then wanted 0.99

00:11:27 to be around, start stores for, go to church with other Dutch-Americans, for lack of a

00:11:32 They wanted to be with people who were going to have the same kind of religion.

00:11:35 They wanted to be with people who would speak the same language, the same foods, the same

00:11:38 customs, those kinds.

00:11:39 So that's natural.

00:11:40 Our job is to not let them come in.

00:11:43 Exactly.

00:11:44 So the point is, I don't blame them for doing that, for lack of a better word, our leaders

00:11:47 for opening the door.

00:11:48 Yeah, our immigration policy set this up.

00:11:51 So you have millions of, for lack of a better term, Jewish Americans, they live here, they're

00:11:56 citizens here, whatever that would mean on paper, but they very much so have a strong

00:12:01 allegiance to another country.

00:12:02 They care for its prime minister, they care for its wars, they donate money, and where

00:12:08 it really becomes a problem is when these people are worth billions of dollars.

00:12:11 It's one thing if I have an affinity for Germany

00:12:14 because I have ancestry there

00:12:15 or someone has an affinity for a certain tribe in Africa.

00:12:18 We talked about Vodibachum.

00:12:19 He goes back to Zambia.

00:12:21 That's one thing. 1.00

00:12:21 God bless him.

00:12:22 But when you're, for example, Larry Ellison,

00:12:24 chief technical officer of Oracle,

00:12:26 which is going to be the anchor of this deal, 0.62

00:12:28 and you are an avowed Zionist,

00:12:30 and you have, it was 2021,

00:12:32 he was reported to have even offered

00:12:34 now Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

00:12:37 a seat on the board at Oracle.

00:12:39 You love Israel.

00:12:42 So you're American in one sense.

00:12:43 You're a CTO, chief technical officer of an American company.

00:12:47 But your whole life, it's like, all right, I got some extra money.

00:12:50 Israel, donate.

00:12:51 Here, this, that, or the other.

00:12:52 All of a sudden, it goes, well, you're about to own the biggest social media company that's existed in the last five years.

00:12:59 You'll see here on the screen, Ellison's close ties to Trump and Netanyahu.

00:13:03 Again, this is just an objective reporting of the facts.

00:13:05 I'm going to read it for anyone that's listening.

00:13:06 Larry Ellison, again, CTO at Oracle,

00:13:08 Oracle is going to be the anchor in this TikTok deal,

00:13:11 has had a decade-long history with the Republican Party

00:13:13 and a close relationship with Trump

00:13:14 going back to the president's first term.

00:13:16 Ellison has frequented Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort for dinner,

00:13:19 met him in the Oval Office,

00:13:20 as Trump has repeatedly postponed

00:13:22 complying with the Supreme Court's January ruling.

00:13:24 Supreme Court came in January this year.

00:13:27 They said, no, you have to ban TikTok.

00:13:28 Congress passed this.

00:13:29 As Trump has repeatedly postponed

00:13:31 complying with the ruling,

00:13:32 if it's not sold,

00:13:33 Oracle has emerged as a lead buyer

00:13:35 of the popular social media app.

00:13:37 In the case of Larry Ellison,

00:13:39 it's well beyond technology,

00:13:40 sort of CEO of everything Trump said

00:13:41 during a news conference

00:13:42 a day after he was inaugurated.

00:13:44 He's an amazing man,

00:13:45 an amazing business person.

00:13:46 Ellison is also close

00:13:47 to the Israeli prime minister,

00:13:49 Benjamin Netanyahu,

00:13:50 and has donated heavily

00:13:51 to the Israeli military

00:13:52 through the nonprofit

00:13:53 Friends of the Israel Defense Force.

00:13:55 In 2017, he gave the organization

00:13:57 his biggest ever donation at the time,

00:13:59 $16.6 million.

00:14:02 Oracle did not respond to questions

00:14:03 from The Guardian,

00:14:04 asking if Ellison had donated more recently.

00:14:08 The guy loves him some Israel.

00:14:10 He's from there.

00:14:11 That is his affinity.

00:14:14 Here's some of the other buyers.

00:14:15 Silver Lake, Private Equity, MGX.

00:14:17 So this is an Abu Dhabi-based AI investment group.

00:14:21 Andreessen Horowitz, A16Z.

00:14:24 So this was co-founded with Mark Andreessen.

00:14:25 And I forget his first name, but another Jewish individual.

00:14:28 I think maybe Alexander Horowitz.

00:14:30 So that's another private equity group that's in there.

00:14:32 Some of the other purchasers, Michael Dell, he's the founder of Dell, Jewish CEO, the Rupert and Lakin Murdoch.

00:14:40 So those have also been backed by Trump as potential buyers.

00:14:43 In short, you have a lot of people with an affinity for Israel.

00:14:45 So you're talking about media, which Jews have been overrepresented in. 0.62

00:14:49 And now we're talking about the most popular social media, right? 0.66

00:14:51 Legacy news is dying.

00:14:53 Your CBS, your Fox News, your CNN.

00:14:55 At a certain level, they just don't have the reach they did.

00:14:58 What does have the reach is TikTok.

00:15:00 And now as it's moving to the U.S., it's kind of like, oh, so it's coming to the U.S., so it'll be owned by Americans, right?

00:15:06 It'll be owned by Americans, right?

00:15:08 No, it's going to be owned by people that very much so have a vested interest. 0.88

00:15:12 Jews and Jews adjacent. 0.79

00:15:13 Who are making sure certain content isn't there.

00:15:15 Let's listen to Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel.

00:15:18 Let's listen to his comments as he realizes they're actually losing the social media war.

00:15:22 Yep. 0.90

00:15:24 Christian influencers.

00:15:26 You said, you talked about the woke right. 0.73

00:15:30 And he said, I call it the woke Reich.

00:15:33 That's a brilliant, the woke Reich.

00:15:37 Because these people, you know, they're not any different from the woke left. 0.87

00:15:41 I mean, they're insane, they're the reason.

00:15:44 But they're actually meeting on some of the things.

00:15:47 And what we have to do is we have to secure that part of the base of our support in the United States.

00:15:53 That is being challenged systematically.

00:15:56 A lot of this is done with money.

00:15:58 money of NGOs vast money of governments vaster okay we have to fight back how do we fight back

00:16:08 our influencers I think you should also talk to them if you have a chance to that that community

00:16:14 they're very important and secondly we're going to have to use the tools of battle you know the

00:16:21 weapons change over time you can't fight today with swords that doesn't work very well okay

00:16:26 And you can't fight with cavalry. That doesn't work very well.

00:16:30 And you have these new things, you know, like drones, things like that.

00:16:34 I won't get into that. But we have to fight with the weapons that

00:16:38 apply to the battlefields in which we're engaged. And the most important ones

00:16:42 are the social media. And the most important purchase that is going on

00:16:46 right now is class...

00:16:50 TikTok. TikTok.

00:16:54 Number one. Number one. And I hope it goes through because it's, it can be consequential. And the other one, what's the other one that's most important? X. X. Very good. And, you know, so we have to talk to Elon. He's not an enemy. He's a friend. We should talk to him. Now, if we can get those two things, we get a lot. And I could go on on other things, but that's not the point right now.

00:17:19 We have to fight the fight, okay, to give direction to the Jewish people 0.95

00:17:25 and give direction to our non-Jewish friends or those who could be our Jewish friends. 0.79

00:17:31 Are we going to succeed with everyone? No. 0.90

00:17:33 Will there be a strong counterpart? Yes.

00:17:37 There you have it.

00:17:38 So going after TikTok, number two, X.

00:17:41 Elon is a friend. Don't like that.

00:17:44 We'll see. Pray for Elon.

00:17:46 pray that he resists the temptation to be a zionist shield uh i i can't help there's two 0.69

00:17:52 things i want to pick out of that video one uh he said you know the the weapons of warfare change

00:17:56 and that's what we were talking about fifth generation warfare the battle for information

00:17:59 uh propaganda right it's it's messaging uh and so he said you know the cavalry doesn't work

00:18:05 swords don't work uh drones don't work i'd be remiss if i did not uh mention at this juncture

00:18:11 that drones seem to be working just fine when it comes to Gaza.

00:18:16 So Israel is perfectly fine with cavalry, with tanks, with drones, with missiles.

00:18:21 But what they're saying is, well, we can't bomb America, at least not, you know. 0.59

00:18:27 Until their ships come into our bay, we can't.

00:18:29 At least not in an obvious way.

00:18:31 Maybe we could do it in a subversive way.

00:18:33 But, you know, so they're saying when it comes to the West,

00:18:36 when it comes to European nations and predominantly America,

00:18:39 because we're the most powerful out of the West,

00:18:42 we have to fight fire with fire.

00:18:45 So in this case, the weapons of warfare being information,

00:18:49 being social media platforms.

00:18:50 So going for TikTok, they've achieved that.

00:18:52 And then going after X.

00:18:53 If you think that X is invulnerable,

00:18:57 then you are being naive.

00:19:00 X could absolutely fall like this 0.78

00:19:02 into the hands of being pro-Israel,

00:19:05 shilling for Israel at every single turn. 0.78

00:19:08 So that's the first thing that I wanted to mention. The second is all the way back to the beginning of that clip that we just showed with Netanyahu, where he talks about the woke right. And he doesn't name this individual, but he says, you know, I've had, you know, people tell me, you know, the woke right or the woke Reich. And he laughs and like, I think that's perfect. That's a great name.

00:19:28 um i'll be honest i first saw that phrase woke right and woke right uh reich uh i both saw them

00:19:36 you know coined um in the first instance by james lindsey um and i i don't know about you but um

00:19:44 you know james lindsey has had some contributions in the past i think of you know 2019 2020 2021

00:19:50 but it's been about three straight years of posting cold like i mean everybody has some

00:19:56 cringe i have some like we all post cringe from time to time uh but there's a there's a certain

00:20:01 cringe quota that's permissible right that's allowable um but i'm i'm talking three years

00:20:07 of 100 cringe 100 coal and uh and yet still somehow has support from somewhere yeah right

00:20:15 still in the game still putting out material um still being listened to by someone and um

00:20:22 and i think we're starting to get our answers right everybody did this big thing about qatari

00:20:27 money qatari money have you seen any qatari money i've been looking for it i've been looking for it

00:20:31 i keep waiting you know with bated breath for the check to come in the mail it's never come

00:20:35 um but i think uh if we want to really be honest i think we need to point the guns in the other

00:20:41 direction so to speak and say uh who's getting zionist money who is getting and and we've seen

00:20:47 this it was just posted yesterday um receipts that netanyahu and israel's government is paying

00:20:53 seven i think it was like a 68 to uh 6800 to 7200 dollars per post to post positive things for

00:21:01 israel from certain you know influencers on the right which to be honest i'd do it because nobody

00:21:08 would believe me i would post it and they would be like wait a second you would not do it i would

00:21:11 not allow it uh he wouldn't do it ladies and gentlemen i will split it with joke 50 50 can't

00:21:16 do it uh can't do it um so this this is what's going on you need to be aware of it here's um

00:21:21 we need to get into tactics just briefly so um one there's you know paying uh to purchase a

00:21:28 platform two there's paying individual influencers to post things that are positive towards israel

00:21:32 to influence young people on the right three um a more subtle approach that uh certain individuals

00:21:38 in israel use on a regular basis it has become a tradition of sorts these past few years

00:21:46 is all right i'm not going to directly pay you to post something positive about israel and no i

00:21:51 don't you know have enough money to purchase you know tiktok or some major social media platform

00:21:55 but what i will do is me and my 501c3 organization we will fit the bill for a fully sponsored trip

00:22:03 to israel and you'll come to israel and we're not going to make you kiss the wall you know some guys

00:22:08 will just do that for free um but you know but we're not going to make you kiss the wall we're

00:22:11 not going to make you're running for office you do but if you're a christian minister yeah you're

00:22:15 a christian minister so we're not going to make you you know uh kiss the ball we're not going to

00:22:19 make you wear the tiny hat greg lock he'll do it for free you know but uh but we're not going to

00:22:23 make everybody else do that we just want you to come and think about this this is the pitch right

00:22:28 it's it's somewhat of a compelling pitch it's it's subtle it's it's not overt and there's some

00:22:32 incentive we're going to pay all expenses paid trip for you know a week or two weeks to israel

00:22:36 and you get to see the the holy sites you get to walk the streets that jesus walked right don't

00:22:42 you want to see where, right? You're a Christian. Don't you want to see where Jesus ministered and

00:22:45 where, you know, where he was baptized and where, you know, where he preached the Sermon on the

00:22:51 Mount and these kinds of things. And so a lot of guys will do that trip. And I'm not saying,

00:22:56 I want to be clear here, I'm not saying that it is inherently sinful to do that trip. But what

00:23:00 I've noticed is it seems as though there's a pipeline. So first you get approached to do this

00:23:07 trip all expenses paid uh second you do the trip and you come back and some of these guys come back

00:23:14 and will almost immediately start saying positive things about israel that are categorically false 0.72

00:23:19 right categorically false like israel being you know the front lines um against lgbt barbarism 0.71

00:23:26 that was a quote or islam you know or yeah or yeah even with islam it's like well uh they're

00:23:32 fighting islam um in in the middle east they are they are absolutely fighting islam in the middle

00:23:37 east man woman and child they are fighting them that's right uh whether all the way down to 0.81

00:23:41 starving you know islamic children at every level they are absolutely fighting and that's not fifth 0.86

00:23:46 generation warfare that's that i mean that's your good old-fashioned calvary and drones so they are 0.90

00:23:50 fighting islam in the middle east to keep islam out of israel but one of the ways they fight it

00:23:55 is they decimate Islamic countries and then open the doors in Western countries for immigration 0.99

00:24:03 and refugees. They hold open the door. So, like, I admit that the average Jewish person here in 0.99

00:24:10 America is not necessarily, you know, a violent person who's, you know, who's doing physical

00:24:17 blatant harm. And I do think that when it comes to individual people, I do think that in many ways

00:24:23 Muslims in America, there's, there's just way too many Muslims. That is a problem. They're 1.00

00:24:30 setting up 90 foot tall, you know, statues to demon gods right outside of Houston in our state

00:24:34 of Texas. Muslims are a problem. But when you look at how are Muslims getting in and you look at 1.00

00:24:40 the NGOs, right, non-government organizations, and you look at the politicians, American politicians 0.86

00:24:45 I'm talking about now, the ones who are opening the doors with, you know, to allow this, this 0.71

00:24:52 influx this invasion of muslims into the united states many of them have jewish ties they're 0.98

00:24:58 either ethnically jewish or religiously jewish or they're married their spouse is jewish or 0.99

00:25:04 they're a zionist and have ties with netanyahu the biggest groups is the hebrew immigrant aid

00:25:08 society they started in the late 1800s first for jews to resettle but now it's literally everyone

00:25:13 and it is one of the biggest groups for immigration right facilitating it paperwork sponsorship help

00:25:18 like we just got to be honest right these have been one of the biggest groups to resettle people

00:25:22 here in america so when guys you know make make claims and statements like you know uh jews in

00:25:27 america are not the problem it's muslims okay uh but you have to understand how the two groups work

00:25:32 in tandem um muslims flood in uh but jews in a general sense not each and every single one of

00:25:40 them but in this is a general statement and it is generally true um it is jewish people or those 0.55

00:25:46 with Jewish ties who hold the door open for the Muslims to come in. And so back to this pipeline 0.68

00:25:53 real quick. So it's, hey, we'll give you $7,000 to post something positive about Israel. All right.

00:25:57 Oh, that's too overt. Okay. You need something a little bit more subtle. Well, nevermind. Don't

00:26:01 do that. Hey, I would just like to invite you as a Christian, as a Christian influencer, as a

00:26:06 Christian, you know, minister to do a trip to Israel, just to see the Holy land and where Jesus,

00:26:11 you know where jesus walked um and it's all expenses paid it's a it's a sponsored trip some

00:26:17 guys go on that trip again i'm not saying it's inherently sinful to to go on that trip uh some

00:26:21 of them go on that trip and they go back and they're the same person and they're authentic

00:26:25 right uh other guys go on that trip and they come back and they immediately start saying uh wild

00:26:31 ridiculous things that are untrue like saying that you know that that uh israel is the front 0.56

00:26:36 lines against LGBT barbarism when Tel Aviv is one of the gay capitals of the world, right? You can't 1.00

00:26:42 walk down a single street without being bombarded by the Rainbow Mafia, flags and paraphernalia 1.00

00:26:50 everywhere. So some guys are going on this trip, and although it's not overtly said, hey, we'll pay 1.00

00:26:55 for this trip, but you have to post positive things on social media about Israel, some of the

00:26:59 guys do. They come back and they do that. Not all of them, some of them. Next step in the pipeline

00:27:04 is if you go on that trip and you, you know, network and make connections and you come back

00:27:11 and even if you don't say things, start posting things positive about Israel, especially things

00:27:15 that are blatantly false, but you at least just don't post negative things. You just kind of leave

00:27:20 Israel alone, right? You're posting against Muslims, right? You're posting against the 1.00

00:27:24 globalists, right? Whoever they are. We know who they're, you know, but we're posting against the

00:27:28 globalists, the Marxists, you know, maybe even the Bolsheviks, but we never say who the Bolsheviks 0.98

00:27:32 are either, and we certainly are posting against the Muslims. You do that, and you don't say 0.79

00:27:38 anything explicitly positive about Israel, but you also don't say anything explicitly negative.

00:27:43 Next step in the pipeline, all of a sudden you're invited to NatCon. And in NatCon, that's where

00:27:49 we're hearing some of these lines. This is a statement that is not just a throwaway. It's not

00:27:53 just a one-off. Many, more than one, many Christian ministers and non-Christian ministers have all

00:27:59 made this statement at NatCon recently, just a couple months ago at their latest conference,

00:28:03 NatCon 2025. NatCon stands for National Conservative. It's headed up by Yoram Harzoni.

00:28:08 One of the statements is that America must be a Christian nation again. We need Christian

00:28:13 nationalism. Who would be invited into this project of a Christian nation here in America? 1.00

00:28:20 And there are three groups that are explicitly listed, and it's said ad nauseum multiple times. 0.95

00:28:24 it's protestants catholics jews protestants catholics jews hindus no muslims no atheists

00:28:32 no protestants catholics jews and my problem is not with the rejection of hindus and muslims

00:28:40 or atheists for that matter my problem is the inclusion of jews and reformed ministers who i

00:28:46 believe should know better and this is one of the problems with the reformed tradition i i love the

00:28:50 reformed tradition. I am reformed in my theology. But one of the problems is that because John

00:28:56 Calvin and Martin Luther and Zwingli and these guys, one of the biggest battles at their time

00:29:01 and their place, right? We don't do theology in a vacuum, right? It's all a matter of providence,

00:29:08 time and place, and where God has set us. Well, at their time, the behemoth was Rome. It was Roman

00:29:15 Catholicism. So a lot of what Luther is railing against, now Luther does write a book called The

00:29:20 Jews and their lies at the end of his life. But early on, and what he's mostly remembered for,

00:29:24 is battling not against the Jews, but rather against Roman Catholicism. Same certainly with 0.55

00:29:29 Calvin and other reformers. Well, at that time, Rome, I believe, was a much bigger problem than

00:29:37 it poses today. Back then, they're selling indulgences, they're oppressing people. Today,

00:29:42 you know, you have the Pope blessing, you know, blocks of ice. Not great. Is it cringe? You bet

00:29:47 you, right? Like a Catholic Pope does something cringe, must be another day that ends in wine,

00:29:52 right? It's, you know, people be like, well, you got Paula White. Well, the beautiful thing about

00:29:55 Protestantism is that I have no formal ties to Paula White whatsoever. She has no ecclesiastical

00:30:01 authority in the Protestant church whatsoever. But if you're Catholic, then, I mean, you just,

00:30:08 you got to sit there and take, I mean, there's some wonderful things. There's some terrible 1.00

00:30:12 things. And one of the terrible things is it pretty much every single day you have to rack

00:30:16 cupels every single day you have to yep my pope blessed a block of ice yep this happened yep my

00:30:23 pope said if you're against abortion but for the death penalty you're not pro-life right you have

00:30:28 to say that's your pope and you are bound to him you have to say that is the vicar of christ on

00:30:33 earth the vicar of christ on earth is is posting coal and uh and i'm a based you know young catholic

00:30:40 who just converted you know three weeks ago and so obviously um i'm you know an expert in all

00:30:46 things Catholicism. Well, that's great, but you also have to sit there and say, yep, and the

00:30:51 Vicar of Christ is blessing blocks of ice at a climate change conference. So anyways, the point

00:30:57 is Catholicism, Roman Catholicism was a major problem in the 1500s, in the 1600s. I do not 0.64

00:31:07 view Roman Catholics, and this is where reform guys get mad at me. I do not view Roman Catholics 1.00

00:31:11 as a cultural and political enemy today.

00:31:14 I don't. 0.97

00:31:15 I believe they are co-belligerents. 1.00

00:31:17 So I would agree with the statement 1.00

00:31:18 that's made at NatCon and elsewhere, right?

00:31:21 There's three main groups

00:31:22 that are part of this Christian nationalism project.

00:31:25 It's Protestants, Catholics, and Jews.

00:31:27 I would agree with the inclusion of Catholics. 1.00

00:31:29 I don't think that we're going to win 1.00

00:31:31 in the United States

00:31:32 as we push back against the orcs. 1.00

00:31:35 If Protestants, if Reformed guys are being autistic 0.94

00:31:38 and saying that Catholics cannot... 0.99

00:31:41 I understand the theological issues, right? 0.99

00:31:44 I share those issues.

00:31:45 They matter.

00:31:46 But I'm talking about in the realm of the political and cultural, okay?

00:31:50 In the political and cultural realm,

00:31:52 I believe that Roman Catholics and Protestants must unite

00:31:55 if we're going to win.

00:31:56 I don't think we have enough numbers in isolation.

00:32:00 But between us, I think there's significant influence

00:32:02 and a significant force for good.

00:32:04 And that's the view of some of the Puritans, Baxter.

00:32:06 Herman Bovink wrote that as well, that the Roman Catholic Church, even as a Protestant,

00:32:10 he said they have errors, but they are, in the people in and of themselves, a true church.

00:32:16 And on Sunday morning when they gather together...

00:32:17 He wasn't necessarily speaking about the Pope in specific, but Catholics, not Catholicism,

00:32:21 but Catholics, they gather together, and that it's a true church in error.

00:32:27 Yes. And the errors are real, and they matter. 0.95

00:32:29 And they matter.

00:32:30 But you are consistent with a number of Reformed Protestant thinkers that also thought the same thing.

00:32:35 I am. And I honestly, guys, I don't know how to say it other than this. I've said it a few times,

00:32:39 but I'll say it again. I'm not interested in just, it's like just LARPing. It's like the

00:32:44 reenactment of the civil war, you know, at some, you know, annual festival where everyone dresses

00:32:48 up and pretends, you know, the, the South and the North, you know, hashing it out again and

00:32:52 everybody celebrates and then they all eat corn on the cob, you know, and, and some kind of

00:32:56 refreshment or whatever. Like I'm, I'm not interested in having the annual, you know,

00:33:00 Five Solas Conference, you know, every single year. We've been doing it for 500 years.

00:33:07 Like, we're going to battle against a dragon that has already, in many ways, had, you know,

00:33:17 all four of its legs, you know, bound and tied together, and a bucket of ice, maybe the same

00:33:23 ice that the Pope blessed, you know, like poured over its snout, you know, where it's no longer

00:33:27 able to breathe fire. It's not the threat that it once was. And yet we're going to pretend,

00:33:33 you know, it's like we make like a Roman Catholic piñata and all the Protestants stand in line 0.83

00:33:38 once a year at some festival and we hit it together. You know, like I'm just not in, I want 1.00

00:33:42 to fight living, breathing dragons. I want to fight the enemy of the day, not the enemy of

00:33:47 yesterday. And so that doesn't mean that Catholicism and the theological distinctions

00:33:52 between Protestants and Catholics doesn't matter. As a local pastor, I preach about those things as

00:33:57 they come up in the text. We do expositional preaching through books of the Bible. But in

00:34:01 the cultural and political realms, I believe that Catholics are a suitable, logical ally to fight

00:34:08 in those arenas. Jews are not. That was my whole point. My whole point was to say, I don't disagree 1.00

00:34:16 with the discluding of Muslims and Hindus and atheists, and I also don't disagree with some 0.92

00:34:23 of these guys and their inclusion of Catholics. What I disagree with is their inclusion of Jews. 0.60

00:34:30 Muslims are not a part of a Christian nationalist project. They're not. Catholics, I believe, are,

00:34:36 in a cultural and political sense, a part of a Christian nationalist project. Jews, though,

00:34:42 are not. Somehow Jews got lumped in. Think about that. Like Catholics, for all the disagreements

00:34:48 that we have, they believe in the Trinity. They believe that Jesus is the only begotten son of

00:34:53 the Father, born of the virgin birth, that he's sinless. They confess the Apostles' Creed.

00:34:57 They confess the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed. They believe he died a substitutionary death,

00:35:03 that the blood of Christ atones for sin. He was bodily raised on the third day. He ascended in

00:35:07 glory and majesty is seated at the right hand of the father and will one day return to judge both

00:35:12 the living and the dead. Are there errors? Yes. But is there much agreement? Also, yes. Is there

00:35:21 any agreement? So Catholics believe all the things I just said. Jews believe that Jesus is a bastard 0.80

00:35:28 son of a whore and that he's currently burning in hell. And I won't be too graphic about how he's 1.00

00:35:33 burning, but you can look that up for yourself. They, they hate Christ. They absolutely hate

00:35:40 Christ. And so, no, I don't believe that Jews should be a part of this project. So my point is 1.00

00:35:45 sometimes it's overt. You're buying TikTok and then coming for X. And we'll talk about that a

00:35:49 little bit in the second segment. Sometimes it's overt, but more individual. I'm paying this

00:35:54 right-wing influencer $7,000 for a positive post about Israel to turn the tides among young people

00:36:02 on the right wing. And then sometimes it's subtle. It's, don't you want to see the streets where

00:36:06 Jesus walked? We have a sponsored full expense paid trip and you can come and there's no strings

00:36:12 attached. You don't have to say anything positive. You might be a fool and choose to say something

00:36:17 positive in your very next podcast, the moment you return, but you don't have to do that. And 0.99

00:36:21 if you just don't say anything negative, you might get an invitation to speak at a breakout session

00:36:26 at NatCon. And at NatCon, you'll hear one of the lines that is pushed again and again and again.

00:36:32 You know that it's overt.

00:36:33 You know that it's intentional

00:36:34 because multiple people say the exact same scripted thing. 0.59

00:36:38 Hey, Christian nationalism, that's what we need in America.

00:36:41 This project is an exclusive project. 0.80

00:36:43 Many people are not welcome,

00:36:45 but there's three groups that are Protestants, Catholics, 0.92

00:36:47 and oh, the guys who have nothing in agreement

00:36:50 with Protestants and Catholics whatsoever,

00:36:52 somehow they're also included.

00:36:54 We're a tiny group through the early,

00:36:56 it was only through a wave of immigration,

00:36:57 I think late in the 1800s,

00:36:59 that about 3.5 million Jews came.

00:37:00 They were not represented.

00:37:02 There was not states, Maryland, that were Catholic.

00:37:05 There were not Supreme Court justices that we had early on that were Jewish.

00:37:08 But there was a minority of Catholics early on in our heritage.

00:37:11 And a meaningful minority, enough to not just say five or ten.

00:37:14 A meaningful minority.

00:37:15 A meaningful minority.

00:37:17 That's my point. 0.94

00:37:18 Overall, Protestant. 0.95

00:37:19 That's America's history.

00:37:21 But a meaningful minority of Catholics present. 0.64

00:37:23 there was no minority of jews present until you're already a good hundred years removed not not a

00:37:32 hundred years into america right because we forget about you know the 13 colonies and everything you

00:37:36 know before the constitution before 1776 but i'm saying no now you're you're a century removed from 0.52

00:37:42 1776 and a very small group of jews are just now starting to arrive and yet somehow jews are a part

00:37:50 of this restoration, you know, American heritage project, how? And the only answer to that is not 0.52

00:37:57 because it's historically accurate, not because it's theologically accurate, because that's

00:38:02 certainly not the case. The answer is influence and money. They're getting to be included on the

00:38:08 team by many because of power, because they're powerful. And we think that that's wrong and

00:38:16 that that needs to be, you know, you don't have to be a jerk, you don't have to be a bigot, 0.98

00:38:20 but it does need to be said. It needs to be said publicly, and solid Christians who love the Lord 0.97

00:38:24 Jesus Christ and love America and its heritage need to be able to speak out against this.

00:38:30 NatCon, that you need to be willing to say that. NatCon, a lot of great stuff. A lot of great

00:38:34 stuff. We would agree with probably 95% of the things that are said and appreciated, but this

00:38:40 is one line of rhetoric that's being pushed at NatCon. A lot of good stuff, but there's this,

00:38:45 and it matters and it needs to be pointed out.

00:38:48 You must resist.

00:38:49 Yeah.

00:38:49 When it comes to money,

00:38:50 like we have to remember,

00:38:51 so TikTok, NatCon,

00:38:53 like we have whole legal categories

00:38:54 where people under penalty of perjury

00:38:56 have to disclose

00:38:58 if they were given money for certain things.

00:39:00 If you're brokering a sale of a company,

00:39:02 if you're part of a nonprofit,

00:39:04 you have to be very upfront.

00:39:05 I received money from X as an interested party

00:39:08 and I have to disclose it.

00:39:10 Judges have to recuse themselves from cases.

00:39:12 So maybe they were a client in the past

00:39:13 and they have to say,

00:39:14 hey, I can't handle this case because I could be biased.

00:39:17 We have a huge legal framework for people saying things and saying,

00:39:20 and I need to be forthright with you.

00:39:22 I need to be honest.

00:39:23 I was paid this amount.

00:39:24 So these guys that are saying these things, our hope would be,

00:39:27 all right, maybe you truly believe it.

00:39:29 We could get you a lie detector, push you in the corner.

00:39:31 Yeah, you really truly believe that.

00:39:32 But you also need to come out and say, and hey, I got about a $10,000 trip for free.

00:39:37 And hey, I was paid this amount of money to post.

00:39:39 And hey, this is the influence I would get.

00:39:41 Maybe it affected my thinking.

00:39:42 Maybe it didn't.

00:39:43 But I'm just going to be forthright with you and say, I got this money.

00:39:46 Be aware of that.

00:39:47 Yeah, especially with 501c3s.

00:39:50 I think that there should be an obligation, whether it's a church or whether it's a 501c3,

00:39:55 to say, yeah, we received donation in this format.

00:40:00 Whether it's that is a donation.

00:40:02 They're called in-kind gifts, I think.

00:40:03 Yeah, that's a donation, a $10,000 trip.

00:40:05 You need to mark that down and say, yes, I received $10,000 to go to Israel for a week

00:40:11 and a half and these are my positions this is what I'm saying and maybe I'm influenced by it

00:40:17 maybe I'm not but you need to be aware that this is a factor and um and apart from that I think that

00:40:22 uh that there is a problem so all that being said Israel is absolutely they're not going to just oh 0.79

00:40:27 you know what well we lost fair and square no no no no no Israel knows that the entire world

00:40:34 the entire world's population of young people um especially Gen Z, Gen Alpha, some Millennials,

00:40:40 some Gen X, is souring on Israel.

00:40:44 They've had enough. 0.89

00:40:44 They've had enough of foreign influence 0.81

00:40:46 in our domestic governments.

00:40:49 They've had enough of AIPAC.

00:40:50 They've had enough of the ADL

00:40:51 literally labeling Christian identity as a hate group.

00:40:55 Well, the ADL had to remove that glossary of hate

00:40:57 because they've gotten so much pushback

00:40:59 from a younger generation that says, 0.99

00:41:01 this is ridiculous. 1.00

00:41:02 It's okay to be white was a hate slogan. 1.00

00:41:05 Hey, Black Lives Matter, no problem. 1.00

00:41:07 It's okay to be white, bigot. 1.00

00:41:09 Bigot. Yep. So yeah, so Israel is not going to give up without a fight. It's not going to be a 0.99

00:41:16 whimper. It's going to be clawing and gnashing and giving it everything they got. Right now,

00:41:21 Israel in many ways is like a cornered animal, and they're desperate, and they're going to be

00:41:26 doing everything they can. They're going to be spending money. They're going to do everything

00:41:31 they can to gain back the favor of the West, to be able to manipulate the masses, to be able to

00:41:37 to seize the levers of influence that they've had for decades and decades and decades

00:41:43 and have recently, finally, began to let up.

00:41:47 And they're not going to just say, oh, okay, well, I guess our reign is over.

00:41:51 They're going to try to get it back.

00:41:53 And buying TikTok is just one way, and you heard it from Netanyahu himself.

00:41:57 They are coming for X.

00:41:59 So let's go to our first commercial break, and then we'll be right back in our second segment.

00:42:02 We'll talk a little bit more about that.

00:42:04 We're also going to deal with the super chats.

00:42:07 We've already got a number that are pouring in.

00:42:09 So I just want to say real quick before we go to our first commercial break,

00:42:12 if you have a question and you want it to be prioritized,

00:42:15 we make you this personal guarantee.

00:42:16 If it is a super chat, then we'll read it.

00:42:19 If we have time after doing the super chats first to do any other questions,

00:42:23 then we'll do our best.

00:42:25 But we've already got a number of super chats that have come in.

00:42:27 And so that's probably all we're going to do today.

00:42:30 So if you want your question addressed or your comment addressed and read live on the air,

00:42:34 then then do it in the form of the super chat we are incredibly humbled and grateful for your

00:42:39 generosity and support we appreciate that and then also lastly if you're new to the channel

00:42:44 make sure on youtube that you subscribe and click the bell if you subscribe but don't click the bell

00:42:49 youtube says oh you subscribe to this channel that must mean that you never want to see any content

00:42:54 from this channel ever again i don't know why but that seems to be the algorithm youtube takes every

00:42:58 subscription as someone saying let me never see anything from them again so i have been reliably

00:43:04 informed that you must click the bell for it to register for YouTube that you actually want to

00:43:10 see content from our channel. And then lastly, make sure to follow us on X. Our X account has

00:43:15 been growing substantially. We went from, I believe, I didn't even do X until a little

00:43:21 while after Elon had bought it, but started posting on X regularly. And I believe we went

00:43:28 from like 34,000 to 60,000 now just since June.

00:43:32 Generational run.

00:43:33 Generational run.

00:43:34 Some are calling it that.

00:43:35 I won't say it.

00:43:35 Wes said it.

00:43:37 But yeah, so follow us on X.

00:43:38 The handle is at RightResponseM as in ministries,

00:43:41 at RightResponseM as in ministries.

00:43:43 And our live stream schedule is every Monday,

00:43:46 Wednesday, and Friday at 3 p.m. Central Time.

00:43:49 Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 3 p.m. Central Time.

00:43:51 All right, let's go to our first commercial break.

00:43:53 We'll be right back to talk about Israel

00:43:54 and making an attempt at getting more social media platforms, including X.

00:44:01 The danger of centralized power is often represented by the word king.

00:44:06 As Americans, we hate the word king.

00:44:10 Civilian ownership of body armor is about helping people to have increased power

00:44:15 to resist tyrants and criminals.

00:44:18 And so Armored Republic is about helping you to preserve your God-given rights

00:44:23 to the honor of the Lord Jesus Christ, because he is the King of kings,

00:44:27 and he governs kings, and he will judge them.

00:44:30 This is armored republic, and in a republic, there is no king but Christ.

00:44:36 We are free craftsmen, and we are honored to be your armor spread of choice.

00:44:53 hey friends gray toad tallow is a family business making skin care the way that it should be

00:46:25 you can give the illusion of a consensus. We've talked about one of the ways, honestly, that you

00:46:29 could destroy the new Christian right, whatever you want to call it, is through banking, through 0.91

00:46:33 private institutions for finding jobs like indeed and linkedin social media that would be facebook 0.66

00:46:38 x instagram if you were able to algorithmically identify and then quarantine those people you

00:46:44 could very much so give the perception of a consensus that wherever someone got their news

00:46:48 wherever someone looked for jobs that you would kind of shut out a small proportion of people

00:46:53 and they'd be very very unable to make a difference x changed that this was 2023 when elon bought it

00:46:58 and it's still not a complete free speech platform and there's problems it hosts adult content it

00:47:03 shouldn't there's much about x that we would change but for all practical purposes it has

00:47:07 been a place where most of what um could be said most of what isn't illegal most of what isn't

00:47:13 egregiously perverse uh it flies and it's also not uh artificially suppressed and this has been

00:47:20 a big problem honestly like if you look at the rise there's anti-semitism that's like genuine

00:47:25 hatred but if we just want to use kind of the broad term like it's okay to be white that's

00:47:29 anti-semitic we just want to talk about kind of a sense of like well why are these people doing

00:47:33 this and historically they did this that type of just noticing well a big rise in it has been due

00:47:39 to x because now stories history different lessons we've learned through history people can access

00:47:45 them as they go for tiktok it's all x like that i mean when you think like what changed um x like

00:47:51 having one social media platform that was not suppressing speech like the receipts have come

00:47:56 out yeah i mean uh zuckerberg admitted that uh that they were taking directives from the biden

00:48:00 administration and suppressing uh major news stories including the hunter biden laptop they

00:48:06 suppressed millions of stories and you know he did this speech he's like well you know percentage

00:48:10 wise you know that means we were only suppressing you know like maybe 0.02 percent but that still

00:48:16 counts like his own admission he said for millions of posts millions of posts were being suppressed

00:48:21 we forget how dark of a time it was 2020 to 2024 and when you think like well what happened what

00:48:26 changed a major impetus like it's like well it's that trump was elected or it's because this

00:48:32 happened like you could actually track uh pretty much everything just to elon buying x including

00:48:37 it's like well trump was elected and so now x is better no no you could argue uh elon bought x and

00:48:43 that's the reason trump was elected right like yeah you don't have to take my word for it that's

00:48:47 huge you don't have to take my word for it that a monopoly of control of private institutions like

00:48:53 guys google is private but they effectively control the public square that's right and during

00:48:57 covid different treatments different science was suppressed and you literally felt it you're like

00:49:03 well i mean like the only information i can find on treatment and on the vaccine uh there's a study

00:49:08 i think it was somewhere in europe hey the covid vaccine is linked to an increased risk of cancer

00:49:13 for years studies uh headlines like that were suppressed and when they were suppressed across

00:49:18 the board you experienced it you couldn't find good data the best data you can find you're

00:49:23 pulling up like a website that like has like flashing lights at the top and it's talking

00:49:27 about nanotechnology because on the regular social media platforms all of it blanket banned

00:49:33 so you've experienced in your lifetime if you're watching this channel you probably agree with us

00:49:37 on covid you've experienced the difficulty of getting information of finding like-minded people

00:49:42 of getting the story out, of warning

00:49:45 others, and that's kind of, if you think

00:49:47 about, all right, if TikTok is controlled

00:49:48 and has these interests, we're seeing already

00:49:50 this is a screenshot, very

00:49:53 benign comment. Someone said, Democrats and Republicans

00:49:55 are both controlled by Israel

00:49:56 through AIPAC. Do some research.

00:49:59 That is not a hateful comment. That is literally just

00:50:01 saying, hey, objectively, 250

00:50:03 representatives, Democrat

00:50:05 and Republican, went on a 50

00:50:07 states-won Israel tour. Do some research.

00:50:09 They're two sides of the same coin.

00:50:10 This is a purported screenshot from TikTok

00:50:12 just from a day ago,

00:50:14 hey, comment removed.

00:50:15 This violates our community guidelines.

00:50:17 Crazy.

00:50:17 You take the biggest social media platform 0.99

00:50:19 for young people,

00:50:20 you take Facebook and Instagram,

00:50:22 if they crack down,

00:50:24 there's literally one remaining.

00:50:25 And we see this.

00:50:26 So a new report came out.

00:50:27 These are some of the headlines from it

00:50:29 for anyone that's listening.

00:50:30 Musk, Elon Musk is X.

00:50:32 Go-to platform for anti-Semitism study finds.

00:50:35 X posted anti-Semitism on X.

00:50:37 That's from the Jewish Council for Public Affairs. 1.00

00:50:40 X is among the most effective tools

00:50:41 for spreading. Anti-Semitism in history, research finds. Study. Anti-Semitism thriving in plain 0.93

00:50:47 sight on X. They're giving you the playbook. They lost control. The left overplayed its hand. It was 0.93

00:50:53 with wokeness. It was with BLM. It was with COVID. They overplayed, and there was some pushback.

00:50:57 Think about A New Hope. The empire strikes back. And so now the play is, all right, control through,

00:51:03 again, not Israel as a government, but private individuals with these allegiances, with these

00:51:09 goals control of tiktok privately through here we've got this these i mean zuckerberg you got

00:51:16 to connect like he's going to have this interest all the other like we got to be honest parlor

00:51:20 like nobody like we're going to go to parlor and connect the other ones are too small the major

00:51:25 ones controlled by people with the same set of interests guys there's like one platform remaining

00:51:30 there's only one major one yeah there's always going to be alternative platforms you know but

00:51:34 it's yeah it like you you lose a massive amount of momentum it's a fraction of the populace it

00:51:40 might be one percent maybe it's five percent of you look at the daily users of x and then compare

00:51:45 that with parlor or something else if they take the major platforms they win and x may very well

00:51:52 be the last man standing yeah so that's basically the play that they've given um be on the lookout

00:52:00 for that. 2028 is going to be a huge year. We've talked about this with the fourth turning. There's

00:52:05 a lot of momentum that can't be suppressed. Think about energy in a system. The energy has to go

00:52:09 somewhere, right? A moving train at 200 miles an hour that has all this energy and it doesn't

00:52:14 decide, well, I'm going to take all that energy and I'm just going to stop. Well, if it hits

00:52:17 something that it can't go beyond, all that energy dissipates and it goes everywhere. What we have

00:52:22 now is cultural momentum. We've been building it since, I think, 2023. There was that old article,

00:52:27 the vibe shift something changed in the water about two years ago and it really we've had

00:52:33 not not headwinds you've you've used this illustration before not headwinds like man

00:52:37 we're we're really having a fight uphill for every little bit no corporations are coming out and

00:52:43 celebrating our values uh you have the department of homeland security reposting our guys our cj

00:52:49 angle fox news and ron mcintyre we've had tailwinds and we've had support for the last two years so

00:52:54 we've made a lot of progress but this is going to be kind of that final backstop i think honestly

00:52:59 before you win you've used the idea nat con's the final boss there's going to be one final play

00:53:04 can we corral this young men older men some of the millennial these people that they want america

00:53:11 they want america back they want america first they're done with immigration they want to be

00:53:16 able to work a real job own a real home this is honestly probably the last shot you have to corral

00:53:21 They're a couple million strong at this point.

00:53:23 There's not nothing.

00:53:24 And they're everywhere.

00:53:25 And they're starting to accrue power.

00:53:27 You've got one shot. 0.99

00:53:28 Kick them out. 1.00

00:53:29 Isolate.

00:53:30 I mean, literally, we had, it was called a quarantine report or National Contagion Institute.

00:53:35 It's a contagion.

00:53:36 It's moving around.

00:53:37 We need algorithms.

00:53:38 We need AI to quarantine these people, to get them off.

00:53:41 This is what's going to be the play for the next two years.

00:53:43 And you have to develop, sure, X is great for finding people, but those people then need to be in person, in person networks.

00:53:50 you can lose someone on x forget about them you have their phone number their signal that's

00:53:54 actually a lot harder very well said um we've got a number of super chats i feel like we should go

00:54:01 ahead and try to get to them let's hit a couple and then do our our break and then uh do some

00:54:05 more yeah we'll do that all right uh nathan let's see uh some of the super chats here's one

00:54:09 uh we have 50 from not boring dad thank you not boring dad we appreciate your generosity that

00:54:15 means a lot uh he said 16 years ago today an absolutely terrified but head over heels and

00:54:22 love young man asked a beautiful christian woman to marry him she said yes and has blessed me with

00:54:28 many children and as a help mate please tell her um natie loves baby natie loves baby i'm glad you

00:54:38 got to read that one yep uh that i the last part was a little cringe but i'm sure it means a lot

00:54:44 to that one special someone and had 16 years a husband doing a 50 super chat so that his wife

00:54:51 would be honored on their anniversary 16th year anniversary publicly online you can't hate it

00:54:57 it's pretty pretty sweet gesture god bless you not boring dad i hope you have a wonderful

00:55:02 anniversary god bless your wife and may the lord grant the two of you many more years to come

00:55:07 all right this dude rocks sent 20 thanks so much he asked this is a good question why is it common

00:55:13 for American churches to criticize alcohol use but ignore gluttony, though Scripture warns about

00:55:19 both equally. Proverbs 23, 21 puts drunkenness and obesity side by side, yet only the first is

00:55:25 usually denounced. I will definitely say there's different time periods that have different

00:55:30 prevailing sins. In the early 1900s with the temperance movement, we have to be honest.

00:55:35 There's a lot of men that would work, and they would take all of their money, and they would

00:55:39 drink themselves into a stupor. They would not provide. They would not leave in the home, and

00:55:42 They would not go to church.

00:55:43 And at some level, I'm not justifying the temperance movement,

00:55:46 but at some level, it was saying, hey, we have men that are drunks.

00:55:50 They are not caring for their family.

00:55:52 They are addicted to alcohol.

00:55:54 And I would bet during that time, the early 1900s,

00:55:57 especially into the Great Depression,

00:55:59 you did not have a lot of people that were obese.

00:56:01 So at that time, I think the emphasis was correct.

00:56:04 That was not the time, like, all right, we're doing a 16-part series on gluttony.

00:56:08 But it would be appropriate for alcohol.

00:56:09 Now, what's funny is alcohol sales are actually going down a ton.

00:56:12 They are.

00:56:13 I saw that.

00:56:13 Unusual Whales just posted.

00:56:15 It's like at an all-time.

00:56:16 It's like a record low.

00:56:16 Record low, yep.

00:56:17 So we're at a time, I mean, practically in my Christian life.

00:56:21 I've known a couple people.

00:56:22 They're like, hey, I can't drink.

00:56:23 I just, whatever happens, I get one beer in me.

00:56:25 I can't do it.

00:56:26 They've said, hey, for my personal conscience, I won't even touch one.

00:56:29 But it's not been that many. 0.91

00:56:31 But of Christians that, to be honest, just by the appearance, 0.98

00:56:34 struggle with the sin of gluttony, 0.80

00:56:36 there have been many many more that i've known in my lifetime and so and i agree the question i agree

00:56:42 but in terms of the question why i mean the simple answer is um it's not preached against because the

00:56:48 preacher gets to determine the preaching and preachers are fat yep i don't think we have a

00:56:53 lot of drunk preachers so they're comfortable preaching against the sin that they themselves 0.90

00:56:57 don't struggle with but we do have a lot of fat preachers i i wish we could take you know pete 0.95

00:57:02 headset and uh and put them you know in like some pastor's conference and give the same speech

00:57:07 about you know bmi and some of these things subscribe to the westminster standards and

00:57:13 meet army heightened weight standards no i it is it is a serious sin like when a man gets to a

00:57:19 certain level of obesity and i'm not talking like 10 20 pounds overweight but like morbidly he gets

00:57:24 to the point where it's difficult to father children he will not live as long as far as

00:57:28 being a protector of the home there comes a point where you're inept you can't go up the stairs

00:57:32 without getting winded you couldn't chase you couldn't fight you couldn't heaven forbid your

00:57:36 your kid was snatched you couldn't move fast enough to do anything about them to over and

00:57:41 over again for years on end to the point where you are morbidly obese is a serious sin against

00:57:46 nature and it should be talked about yeah and it's also a visible sin so there are private sins

00:57:50 and in terms of your standing before god it's quite serious um but it's one thing to um it's

00:57:57 one thing to sin it's another to be actively sinning and um you know when you're publicly in

00:58:03 the presence of others in such a way that could uh cause others to stumble um so you know like

00:58:09 think of you know romans 14 you know anything that does not proceed from faith to sin or first

00:58:14 corinthians talking about you know the brother with a weaker conscience and the one with faith

00:58:18 um who's more mature we have these biblical texts that uh what i'm getting at is that whether it's

00:58:24 meat sacrifice to idols, or whether it's alcohol consumption, we have these biblical texts that

00:58:29 talk about how something may be, in the objective sense, morally permissible, meaning that it is

00:58:35 okay for you to do with a clean conscience, to do in faith, such as drinking alcohol. But in these

00:58:41 same passages, we have contexts, and context matters, where it says it is objectively permissible

00:58:47 for a Christian to, in moderation, drink alcohol.

00:58:52 But there are some contexts where you shouldn't. 0.95

00:58:56 For instance, there's contexts where you cause

00:58:57 a weaker brother to stumble.

00:58:59 Well, when it comes to gluttony, the visible,

00:59:01 it would be like having alcohol,

00:59:07 like taking a shower every morning in beer

00:59:10 and having a rank stench,

00:59:15 strong smell of alcohol on your person your breath your clothing every single day so it's like well

00:59:22 i'm not drinking in front of people right i'm not i'm not eating a full you know large size pizza

00:59:27 by myself you know like uh in front of a crowd of people yeah but but the visible signs of your

00:59:33 gluttony you're wearing them on your body in your waistline every second of the day so it would be

00:59:40 like well i'm not drinking a fifth in front of people yeah but you smell like you did um and so

00:59:45 in the same way that it would be improper right it is a it is morally permissible to in moderation

00:59:50 drink alcohol as a christian but it would be improper to douse yourself with a fifth of of

00:59:58 gin every morning on your way in to work and go to alcohol anonymous to observe right so in the

01:00:06 same way that's how gluttony is because it's it's it's this apparent constant continual visible

01:00:11 sign it's a constant publicly visible sign of sin so it's very serious and I can only guess

01:00:20 that the reason more pastors don't preach against it is because more pastors are guilty of it all

01:03:57 regular donors and asking good questions, making good comments. We appreciate you, Nick. Thank you.

01:04:04 he gave us 10 bucks and said i pray that uh xi pin or uh zi zing zing yeah sorry the the

01:04:13 president of china right yeah okay president of china does not allow the usual suspects

01:04:18 to censor our glorious anti-semitism app i don't know if he cares whatsoever i don't think he cares

01:04:25 yeah and that's why like i tweeted out you know the other day and it got like 320 000 likes just

01:04:31 a little a little before lunch banger just a little before lunch banger 300 i think it's like

01:04:35 315 000 likes um but i said um i did you know the little image of the you know the rockefeller type

01:04:43 painting with the guy standing up in the chapel everyone's looking at him and he's saying something

01:04:47 courageous and you know it wasn't that courageous but you know i said uh i would rather china own 0.95

01:04:52 tiktok than israel yeah and um and the reason why is not because i don't think that china poses any

01:04:59 threat or any problem whatsoever. I'm not a big fan of the Chinese government, um, by any stretch

01:05:04 of the imagination. Uh, I don't think that they should be allies. Um, but I, I think for me, um, 0.97

01:05:11 I think that most, I think most Americans are kind of more aware of that. I think that most

01:05:16 Americans are pretty conscious of the fact that China is not an ally, that China doesn't have our

01:05:21 best interest at heart. Whereas with Israel, one of my concerns is that I actually think that

01:05:30 they're far more subversive. I really do. I think that a lot more people in America, especially 1.00

01:05:35 Christians, have the wool pulled over their eyes. And so I'm more concerned, especially as a

01:05:42 Christian and a Christian minister, I'm far more concerned about American Christians who are 0.75

01:05:46 deceived by israel than american christians who none of them really are fond of the chinese

01:05:52 government to begin with yeah uh we also had to practically say too it's kind of easy to tell if

01:05:57 you have someone that's obviously chinese or chinese american and they're advocating no we

01:06:01 should sell this land off to the chinese communist party well that i kind of see what's going on here

01:06:06 right but if i was to go to europe and learn german and then oh i think that we should uh 0.53

01:06:11 bring in these people or that it wouldn't be as easy to decipher and so with china

01:06:15 their probably next move is Taiwan. 0.95

01:06:17 They want to bring Taiwan and fold it underneath. 0.94

01:06:19 That's probably what they're going to do.

01:06:20 I don't think we're looking at a full-scale attack or nuclear war.

01:06:24 We kind of know their plan.

01:06:25 It's going to be very obvious if Taiwan, if they declare war in Taiwan, if they invade it.

01:06:29 But on the other end, you won't actually even notice if that friend that you used to hear from,

01:06:33 that page that you liked the posts from,

01:06:36 you're probably going to actually forget about them if they quietly get banned.

01:06:41 That is much more nefarious.

01:06:42 That one's much easier to kind of pull the wool over the eyes than, oh, we happen to capture the semiconductor capital of the world for manufacturing.

01:06:50 We all know what the play is there, and we can respond accordingly.

01:06:53 When that happens, well, who do I appeal to?

01:06:55 Who do I go to?

01:06:55 Who made this decision?

01:06:56 It's cloaked in secrecy.

01:06:58 Yep.

01:06:58 Well said.

01:07:00 Hal gave us a $10 super chat.

01:07:02 He doesn't have a comment or a question attached.

01:07:03 He just gave us $10 being generous.

01:07:05 Hal, we really appreciate that.

01:07:06 Thank you.

01:07:07 And then we've got one more super chat.

01:07:09 It's $100 from Dylan Harrington.

01:07:11 $100 from Dylan Harrington.

01:07:13 Dylan, thank you.

01:07:14 That's very generous.

01:07:15 We appreciate it very much.

01:07:17 Dylan says, how long before TPUSA comes out with a pro-Israel statement?

01:07:22 What do you think, Wes?

01:07:24 Charlie Kirk, he loved him some Israel.

01:07:26 He loved him some Israel.

01:07:27 And he was probably, honestly, the forefront.

01:07:29 You think of different apologists, one of the youngest,

01:07:32 and one of the most vocal supporters of Israel.

01:07:35 Like Dennis Prager is, what, like 1,500 years old at this point?

01:07:38 And paralyzed.

01:07:39 And at this point paralyzed.

01:07:40 So he was the youngest, which was really engaging.

01:07:43 And then TPUSA, I mean, he was the CEO.

01:07:45 He was the leader.

01:07:46 And so they reflected that vision.

01:07:48 How long before they come out with the pro-Israel statement?

01:07:50 We'll see.

01:07:52 It depends how, because Erica Kirk, she's aiming to kind of continue his legacy,

01:07:57 kind of continue the mission that he started.

01:08:00 We'll see how much of it came across in private.

01:08:01 So she thinks about the things that Charlie stood for.

01:08:04 Is that going to stand up there?

01:08:06 So she's going to say he wanted conservatives,

01:08:08 and he wanted people to have families 0.83

01:08:10 and he really wanted Israel to do X and Y and Z,

01:08:13 maybe that comes across

01:08:14 and maybe you'll see a podcast episode

01:08:17 with so-and-so talking about the dangers of anti-Semitism

01:08:20 or also practically she could carry on the vision

01:08:23 and just by virtue of the people that join it,

01:08:26 they kind of recognize, yeah, this is not the issue to die on.

01:08:29 It's not a winning issue.

01:08:30 Like Charlie studied for years

01:08:31 because he was literally saying towards the end

01:08:33 every single time he would set up on campus,

01:08:35 hey, why do you support Israel doing this?

01:08:37 do you know what the talmud says about this why but what about israel being involved in these or

01:08:41 jews being involved in these social movements he was literally like a full-time apologist for

01:08:45 israel he was conservatism on the side and like he loved him some israel he did whether that will

01:08:50 be continued depends on the people who take uh leadership different tp usa chapters the people

01:08:55 themselves like you start tp usa chapter and you break out the israel flag and 50 of the people

01:09:02 that just joined and they're excited about it walk out that sends kind of a message and so that

01:09:06 very much so remains to be seen the the inertia is certainly pro isu that's what tp usa has been

01:09:12 that's what charlie was for better for worse will that continue we'll see yeah so i think it's yet

01:09:18 to be determined we have to see you know erica has been appointed ceo of tp usa but you know who

01:09:23 actually comes alongside her um i'm hoping that you know the majority of her time is spent as a

01:09:28 mother with her two children uh who now have the deceased father um and so i i don't think that

01:09:34 you know, she'll be CEO and be making some decisions. But day in and day out, I think it's

01:09:39 probably going to be new leadership that fills the void. And so it depends on who those individuals

01:09:44 are and what their convictions are. But there's one other factor that I think we'd be, you know,

01:09:50 in the spirit of this overall episode, we'd be remiss if we didn't include. It also depends on

01:09:55 whether or not there's a handsome check. I do think that it's entirely, we know that Charlie,

01:10:01 at least from what we've heard allegedly he turned down 150 million dollars from israel

01:10:07 dylan followed up and said i was under the impression that his sentiment towards israel

01:10:12 changed shortly before yeah so i don't think i don't think so so i've heard a lot of people

01:10:16 saying that i think that charlie you know he did one of these and put his finger in the wind and

01:10:22 realized um i cannot be insufferable unapologetic shill for israel and keep you know a fraction

01:10:31 of the amount of influence that he had built up over the last 10 years. I think he just realized

01:10:35 this is a losing issue. And if I want to be effective on the right in conservative politics,

01:10:42 I've got to at least be willing to humor the other side. It seemed, at least appeared to be

01:10:50 a little bit more objective or, you know, or at least individually as the man, the person,

01:10:56 charlie kirk i can be pro israel uh but i at least you know need to score some points with

01:11:01 this massive growing you know population of people who really do not like israel score some points by

01:11:07 at least platforming some people who represent the other side of the aisle and and so that's

01:11:11 what you saw in the latest tp usa uh conference before charlie's assassination you saw dave smith

01:11:17 you saw tucker carlson and a lot of people put a lot of pressure on charlie and good on him

01:11:22 um you know like he even had i think with meg kelly or something you know there's clips from

01:11:26 a podcast uh where he you know was talking about how much pressure um he was under to drop tucker

01:11:33 carlson as one of the speakers at tp usa and he didn't and he even not only did he have dave smith

01:11:38 and tucker carlson and give tucker carlson a main session but he hosted a conversation about

01:11:42 what's happening you know in gaza and and what's going on with israel and iran with dave smith

01:11:48 through very outspoken against it. And so he actually had not just those individuals, but

01:11:53 that designated topic and discussion represented at TPUSA. So in that sense, I think Charlie was

01:12:00 pivoting his tactics. The way I see it, I don't think he was shifting his position. I really

01:12:06 don't. I think Charlie loved him some Israel to the day that he died. He loved Jesus and he loved

01:12:11 Israel. And I'm like, well, I would have preferred for you to pick a lane, you know, but like many,

01:12:18 I mean, let's just think, you know, the last 50, 60, 80 years, a lot of people have died just assuming that Israel is God's chosen people.

01:12:28 And, you know, and I think, you know, they died in ignorance.

01:12:32 So I don't think that Charlie was nefarious.

01:12:34 I'm not saying that he was malicious, but I think that he had the mainstream view that was common among conservatives in America at the time of his ascendancy.

01:12:45 Well, think about money, too.

01:12:46 I mean, Dennis Prager was a huge influence in his life.

01:12:48 who kind of gave him platforms and understandably there was more at play than just simply israel he

01:12:53 was a he was bright he was articulate he was well studied but practically the only way you were

01:12:57 going to make it a conservative media 10 years ago honestly even still to a degree today most

01:13:03 certainly 10 years ago well everyone there would have would have been pro-israel so it's also the

01:13:07 milieu he crew group came up in it was the money yeah here's from those people like just be honest

01:13:12 yeah let's just be honest like it's like everybody knows he's a household name right he's a household

01:13:17 name because he was pro-israel yeah if he was outspokenly against israel uh is talented so i'm

01:13:23 not i don't want to take away anything from him so i'm not saying he was just pro pro-israel there's

01:13:27 plenty of pro-israel people who are you know they don't have any talent to speak up you know so you

01:13:32 don't know their name charlie you know uh was pro-israel and he was talented he was gifted he

01:13:36 was sharp he was likable he was charismatic you know all these different things he was um he had

01:13:40 that protestant work ethic he was incredibly disciplined um you know vigilant and all these

01:13:45 different things. And so he was a rising star on his own merit, with his own giftings, his own

01:13:50 discipline, his own work. But his pro-Israel position may not have exactly, you know, put him

01:13:57 on the map. But if he was against Israel, it would have been an inhibitor. Well, Ben Shapiro would

01:14:04 never, like, nuke an intern just for asking questions, right? He would respond and give him

01:14:08 the reasons. Especially someone who only has a thousand Twitter followers at the time. Yeah.

01:14:13 webcam from his dorm room or or a uh secretly recorded uh cell phone from a random girl when

01:14:21 you don't even know you're being recorded and then that's put online and then retweeted by

01:14:24 ben shapiro so yeah charlie you you know of charlie because um he was gifted he was godly

01:14:31 a lot of great things hats off to charlie um you also know of charlie uh because he towed the line

01:14:38 on israel and uh if he had not um i i don't think i think he still would have been gifted and gone

01:14:44 far but in the climate on in conservative politics in america as it's been until very very recently

01:14:51 last couple years um it would not uh have allowed for um charlie to been outspoken against israel

01:14:58 and still have the degree of notoriety that he was able to achieve so no i don't think that charlie

01:15:04 was changing his position um i do think though that as the cultural winds have shifted and people

01:15:10 many young people because that's the thing charlie wasn't just a conservative his whole thing

01:15:14 was uh was reaching the youth right so he literally had his whole platform is not just

01:15:22 conservative politics but particularly you know college students and high school students the youth

01:15:26 and the youth is the exact demographic that has in you know before our eyes very quickly and

01:15:33 significantly soured on israel and so i think charlie knowing that um that the youth is his

01:15:39 target audience and that the youth are souring on israel i think he made some concessions in his

01:15:46 tactics right like a willingness to have dave smith tucker carlson have some of those conversations

01:15:51 i don't think that he actually changed in terms of his position that's that's my best guess and

01:15:57 that's the power of money glenn beck um dennis prager ben shapiro when you have money and

01:16:02 influence you get to be a kingmaker so you get to pick and choose hey i like this guy he's using

01:16:07 our rhetoric i like this this guy he's towing the line at least he's willing to oh this guy isn't

01:16:11 i'm going to demote him that's the power whether it be money enough to buy tiktok and own a

01:16:16 platform set your own moderation levels on it whether it's the ability to take up and coming

01:16:20 young stars and make them into household names that's the power of money money makes you a king

01:16:26 maker right media individuals for the kingmakers at the time uh that's what they saw in charlie

01:17:23 final words Wes there's a good question are we justified by works I don't want to open the huge

01:17:28 we talked about Protestants and Catholics but it's really the distinction it's important and

01:17:33 it's fascinating so are we justified by works to be justified is this is what Luther captured in

01:17:37 the Protestant Reformation he actually went back to the Greek and in the Greek the word for

01:17:42 justification dikaiosune righteousness forensic it's declarative forensic it's judicial yeah so

01:17:49 justified in that sense in the greek the language that it was written in is the idea of am i declared

01:17:55 righteous based on what i do declaring me righteous in a court exactly now jerome not not being

01:18:02 righteous or becoming righteous but a moment justification is likened to a process of being

01:18:09 made righteous justification is likened to a declaration or pronouncement in a moment so

01:18:16 So it was a sanctification, a process being made righteous, justification, a moment being

01:18:20 declared righteous.

01:18:21 Yes.

01:18:22 But Jerome, when he translates the Latin Vulgate, the word in Latin that is used is more the

01:18:27 idea of to make just.

01:18:29 So this was what was burdening Luther's conscience.

01:18:31 He said, well, God justifies the righteous, but I have to be made just.

01:18:34 And I'm a sinner here and I'm a sinner there.

01:18:36 And that's the crucial distinction is that justification, it's a one-time thing.

01:18:40 And in the original language, the language Paul is using, it is a legal declaration.

01:18:45 So our works don't factor into it.

01:18:47 We are declared righteous because Jesus died for us.

01:18:50 God looks on Christ as if he was us.

01:18:52 Now, sanctification comes in because James says justification without works is dead.

01:18:57 What does he mean?

01:18:58 That we're justified by our works?

01:18:59 No, justification lacking the attending sanctification.

01:19:03 There is a sense in which justification also makes us righteous.

01:19:07 We're made by being declared righteous, made righteous in sanctification.

01:19:11 So we're not declared right with God because of works.

01:19:13 but in the final analysis our sanctification will be evidence of oh yeah they were legally declared

01:19:20 justified righteous before god right luther put it like this he said we're saved and justified

01:19:26 when he said saved he's primarily talking about justification there's a sense in which

01:19:30 we have been saved we're being saved ephesians says we are being saved and also we will be saved

01:19:35 i think of romans chapter seven where paul the apostle who i believe this is post-conversion

01:19:39 he's already a Christian, and yet he still writes, who will, right? Who will, future tense,

01:19:44 save me from this body of death. So he's not saying who will save my soul, his soul has already

01:19:48 been saved, justification. He's not saying who is saving me, present tense, the renewing of his

01:19:53 mind, sanctification, but who will save this body, speaking of a future tense element of salvation,

01:20:01 namely glorification, right? The salvation of the body. So you can look at it like this,

01:20:06 justification, sanctification, glorification. Justification past the soul having been declared

01:20:12 righteous, the soul being saved. Saintification, present and ongoing, that is the mind being

01:20:19 renewed, being sanctified, you're being saved. And then glorification, the body being fully

01:20:24 restored and redeemed and resurrected on the final day, the body and that future tense, you will be

01:20:30 saved. So we have been saved, we're being saved, we will be saved. Justification, sanctification,

01:20:34 glorification. And so back to the Luther quote, he said that we're saved by faith alone. And when

01:20:40 he says saved here, he's not speaking so much about sanctification or glorification, but namely

01:20:44 justification, that the salvation that for the Christian is already a past tense. It's a moment

01:20:49 of being declared righteous. So he's saying we're justified, saved in the sense of justification.

01:20:55 We are justified by faith alone, but true saving faith is never alone. So he says we're saved by

01:21:02 faith alone, but true saving faith is never alone. And so what he's saying is it is the faith alone

01:21:07 that saves, but if it be a saving faith, a real faith, a living faith, then it will always be

01:21:14 manifest with good works. Good works, I always think of Samwise Gougie, right? When Frodo is

01:21:21 hopping into the little boat and he's about to paddle down the river and he's leaving the rest

01:21:26 of the company, this is Fellowship of the Ring, leaving the rest of the company behind because he

01:21:31 realizes that, you know, the task that's been appointed to him to take the ring to Mordor so

01:21:36 that it could be unmade. He realizes that this is a great risk and that he is ultimately, he poses

01:21:42 a threat to everyone around him. And so he's not wanting to endanger the rest of his company,

01:21:46 the fellowship of the ring. And so he's going to set off alone. And so he climbs into the boat and

01:21:51 he's already, you know, pushed off from the shore and he's in the middle of the river starting to

01:21:56 paddle. And Samwise, you know, realizes that he's gone and he catches up to him. He's standing on

01:22:00 the shore. He said, Mr. Frodo, no, no, don't leave. Don't leave. And Frodo says, I'm sorry, Sam. I have

01:22:07 to do this alone. I have to go and destroy the ring. And Sam responds by saying, of course you

01:22:12 do. And I'm coming with you. And I think of that with faith and works. So it's like faith is on

01:22:20 the ship. Faith is like Frodo and works are like Sam. So Frodo is like, but I'm saved by faith

01:22:27 alone. And then good works. Sam's like, of course you are. And I'm coming with you. And that's kind

01:22:34 of the picture of the Christian life. It's like good works for the Christian. It's like, faith is

01:22:38 like, no, but I'm saved by faith alone. And good works are like, of course you are, but we're

01:22:42 coming with you. And so it is with every genuine Christian born again by the spirit of God,

01:22:47 by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, that person cannot help but have Samwise 0.96

01:22:53 gouging good works uh wading into the water and forcing himself onto the ship and coming with you

01:22:59 because if you truly have faith you will have good works we're saved by faith alone

01:23:03 but saving faith is never alone we have a catholic in the chat he said joel is quoting

01:23:09 catholic tolkien to shore up luther how disrespectful and to clarify we love tolkien

01:23:14 and he was catholic and we appreciate him very much we also love gk chesterton appreciate him

01:23:18 very much and to clarify when i said about jerome translating sometimes in different languages like

01:23:23 there's german words that don't have an english equivalent so i'm just practically saying that

01:23:26 one of the outworkings the greek into the vulgate into the latin was it had more of an idea of to

01:23:31 whereas i think in the greek and i think the way you espouse it is a much more helpful term instead

01:23:37 of feeling as though well i have to make luther called it forensic righteousness god has legally

01:23:43 declared me as if i've never seen imputed not infused right through a process or through

01:23:48 sacraments but imputed accredited to the account it's like a bank transfer all the righteousness

01:23:54 of christ transferred imputed not infused in a moment in a moment uh through faith forensic

01:24:01 righteousness judicial righteousness declared declarative righteousness and i can understand

01:24:07 what catholics can try to guard against well if you just make it about faith and it sounds like

01:24:11 someone says magic words or believe some intellectual ascent that they can be saved

01:24:15 and go on and we call that a paperwork christian paperwork america there's

01:24:19 paperwork americans like ilhan omar and then there's paperwork christians it's

01:24:23 like well where's the paperwork you know the billy graham crusade where

01:24:26 they literally signed a piece of paper when they walked down the aisle like

01:24:28 there's a like 99 of them stuck with it right

01:24:31 there is such a thing as a paperwork american there's also such a thing as a

01:24:35 paperwork christian and luther was not uh ever advocating for one of those uh

01:24:39 but for the catholics in the chatter they're saying yeah but there's a lot of

01:24:42 protestants today who are uh we would say uh-huh so true king you're absolutely right um and that

01:24:47 is a major problem um but we're not that's not who we are we want to see christians do good works

01:24:53 and i think of the book of hebrews it says uh that we should earnestly pursue holy holiness for

01:24:58 without which no one will see the lord even rc sproul who you know was a protestant died a

01:25:02 protestant faithful protestant um and was outspoken against roman catholicism uh pretty much every

01:25:08 every day that ended and why um even he said uh that that holiness that hebrew speaks of for

01:25:14 without holiness no one will see the lord he said um i bet my hat that the holiness being spoken of

01:25:20 here is a progressive righteousness belonging to sanctification and not the accredited imputed

01:25:26 righteousness holiness that comes through faith and justification from christ so and essentially

01:25:31 what Sproul was saying is, without good works, active, ongoing, progressive, sanctification,

01:25:39 good works, you will not see the Lord. Why? Because we're saved by works? No, because the absence,

01:25:44 the total absence of good works is proof positive that there's no justification.

01:25:48 And he also said, one more example from Sproul, he spoke of when Jesus says, but I tell you,

01:25:55 unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees. And a lot of Protestants will interpret 0.62

01:25:59 that and say, oh, well, he's, you know, Jesus is speaking of positional, not progressive righteousness,

01:26:05 right, with good works and sanctification, but positional righteousness, declarative righteousness,

01:26:09 belonging to justification, which is through faith alone. A lot of Protestants will preach

01:26:13 that text, and they'll say, when Jesus says, I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that

01:26:17 of the Pharisees, you will not see the kingdom of heaven, a lot of Protestants will say, oh,

01:26:21 well, Jesus is talking about positional righteousness, justification, and for every

01:26:25 Christian, every genuinely born-again Christian, your righteousness does exceed that of the

01:26:29 Pharisees, because you have the perfect righteousness of Christ, which has been

01:26:33 accredited to you through faith. Yeah, that is true. But Sproul, God bless him. He was one of

01:26:40 the Protestant pastors who said, that's true, that concept, that principle is true, and we can preach

01:26:45 it elsewhere from other texts of Scripture, but I don't believe that that's what Jesus had

01:26:48 in mind in that particular text. He says, no, I think the point that Jesus is making is that the

01:26:54 Pharisees, even in terms of their progressive righteousness, their actions, their works,

01:26:58 they're not that righteous. The favorite label that Jesus gave to these Jewish rabbis is not 1.00

01:27:06 legalist, right? Protestants always, the problem with the Pharisees were they were legalists. They 0.88

01:27:11 cared too much about good works. That's not what Jesus says. He literally says, do as they do,

01:27:16 or I'm sorry, do as they say, but do not do as they do. What's the number one word Jesus uses

01:27:21 to describe the Pharisees, Sadducees, the lawyers, the scribes. It's not legalist. The word he uses

01:27:27 is hypocrite. In other words, according to Jesus, exceeding the righteousness of the Pharisees was

01:27:33 not just a matter of having the perfect righteousness of Christ and justification.

01:27:37 It was actually being a better person and doing better works than the Pharisees, which was not

01:27:41 actually a high bar because the Pharisees were full of it. The Pharisees weren't actually

01:27:45 righteous. They were hypocrites. They talked a big game, but they could talk the talk, but they 1.00

01:27:50 didn't walk the walk. And I think Sproul is right, that when Jesus says, your righteousness

01:27:54 needs to exceed even the righteousness of the Pharisees, I don't believe, as Sproul did not

01:27:59 believe, that he's speaking, that Christ is speaking of the positional righteousness belonging

01:28:04 to justification in that instance. But he's saying, no, it should be normative for the Christian life

01:28:09 that his progressive, ongoing righteous works exceed that of the Pharisees, not because that's

01:28:14 what saves him, but as a proof, as a demonstration and evidence of the faith that does save. And the

01:28:21 faith that truly saves will manifest itself in good works. And those good works will actually

01:28:27 be superior good works to the Pharisees because the Pharisees, they taught good works, but they

01:28:32 did not do them. They were hypocrites. So we have ample examples, whether it's the book of James, 0.99

01:28:38 ample examples to stress the vital importance of good works without making good works necessary

01:28:44 for justification. So great question. I'm glad we had time to get to it. Again, make sure to

01:28:50 subscribe on YouTube and click the bell on X. Go ahead and follow us. The handle is at

01:28:54 right response M, M as ministries. We broadcast on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 3 p.m. Central

01:29:00 time. And if you've been blessed by this ministry, we're trying to be a explicitly, unapologetically

01:29:06 Christian ministry that speaks to culture, speaks to politics, and is not Zionist. We're not taking

01:29:13 the money we're not taking uh we're not taking the trip we're not doing these kinds of things

01:29:18 and so um sadly there's not a whole lot like honestly there are guys on the right who are

01:29:23 anti-zionist um there's more and more guys cropping up every single day but a lot of muslims are

01:29:28 anti-zionist that's right but a lot of them are not explicitly christian right um you know jake

01:29:34 shields um he's been kind to me we've had a couple conversations on the phone we might collaborate

01:29:39 but he's not a christian by his own admission you know one of the reasons i want to do something

01:29:42 with him is he's asking me questions about the Lord. And I want to take that opportunity to tell

01:29:46 him about Christ and to share with him the gospel, whether I do it publicly on a show or whether I

01:29:51 do it privately on the phone, but I want to share Christ with him. But he's an example. He's doing

01:29:56 a lot of things that I think are helpful and good, but he is not a Christian. So there are a lot of 1.00

01:30:00 non-Zionist. There weren't 10 years ago. There are today a lot of non-Zionist, but they're not 1.00

01:30:06 necessarily unapologetically explicitly christian and there are a lot of christians

01:30:11 but a lot of the protestant christians are kind of zionist and so we feel like you know if it was

01:30:18 a venn diagram you know uh this this overlap this this sweet spot it's in this case um it's a sliver

01:30:24 right on this hand you have christians on this hand you have guys who are not zionist and the

01:30:31 overlap is very narrow and i don't know a lot of guys in this space so the last thing i'm saying

01:30:36 I'm going to say it humbly. I'm not trying to guilt anyone's conscience. Feel free to tune it

01:30:40 out if you don't feel called to do so. But we do need your help. We are under immense attack all

01:30:46 the time. I personally, my family, we are under immense attack all the time because a lot of

01:30:52 Christians will just say, well, Joel is, he's an anti-Semite. He's a sexist. He's a racist. He's 0.98

01:30:59 this. And so there's a lot of Christians who are trying to destroy this ministry. And then the guys 0.75

01:31:08 who agree with us, with our cultural, our political positions, they've actually been more kind to us 0.97

01:31:13 in many ways than many of the Christians have, but they're not Christian. And we feel like there 0.99

01:31:18 needs to be someone in this new ascendant right, whatever you want to call it, the new right 0.83

01:31:22 in this space who is anti-Zionist and is able to speak with courage to these things, but also 0.58

01:31:31 explicitly unapologetically Christian. We're not saying we're the only ones, like Elijah,

01:31:36 he has this pity party, I'm the only one left. We're not the only ones, but I do think it's

01:31:41 fair to say that they're few and far between. And so if you would prayerfully consider supporting

01:31:47 our ministry financially, that's the last thing that I'll say, we would greatly appreciate it.

01:31:51 you can do so by simply going to

01:31:53 rightresponseministries.com forward slash donate.

01:31:57 Again, that's rightresponseministries.com forward slash donate.

01:32:02 And those charitable gifts are all tax deductible

01:32:05 and we greatly appreciate your generosity.

01:32:08 So that's it for today.

01:32:09 Lord willing, we will see you on Friday

01:32:11 at 3 p.m. Central Time.
