0:00

Oh! Oh! Oh!

0:06

Pastors, propaganda and political

0:09

vision. Oh, propaganda. Oh!

0:12

Oh, so much propaganda. What are we going to

0:14

do about this? If you're somebody that's like, dude,

0:17

John, I don't want to be about politics. I

0:19

just want to be about the gospel. Hey, I feel you.

0:23

Honestly, honestly, me too. I feel you. John,

0:25

I don't want to talk about propaganda in the media.

0:28

I feel you. I wish we were living in a

0:30

time where we didn't have to talk about any of

0:32

that stuff and we could just talk about the goodness

0:34

of God. But what if

0:36

there is so much propaganda that

0:39

it changes the way that you think and

0:41

then you think you are not being political,

0:44

but in the end, it's just because you're

0:46

swimming in so much propaganda, it actually has

0:48

changed the way that you think. What happened?

0:50

Is that possible? Oh, let me think. Is

0:52

that possible? Yes. We're going

0:55

to jump into it right here on

0:57

a sweet episode of Koopa Stuff. Koopa

1:08

Stuff! Hey,

1:13

everybody. Welcome back to Koopa Stuff. I hope you guys

1:15

are doing good. I hope that you are having so

1:17

far a good 2024. Getting time

1:19

with your family. I hope. Loving

1:21

Jesus, I hope. I tell

1:24

you what, I want to start all the time as much

1:26

as I can. I want to encourage you in your faith.

1:28

If you are feeling hopeless, I

1:30

want to remind you that your hope is not in

1:32

America. Your hope is not in politics.

1:34

Your hope is not in regaining

1:37

back the culture. Yes, we want

1:39

to regain back the culture. Yes, we want to see

1:41

peace. All right. We want to see

1:43

order. We want to see life. Yeah,

1:45

we hate what we're seeing. Your hope is

1:47

not in those things. Your hope is in Jesus Christ. He

1:49

has given you everything you need for life and godliness. Who

1:51

knows? Maybe that would be like a scripture of the year

1:53

for me. Because so far I've talked about

1:56

it every week. Why do I talk about it every week? Well, number

1:58

one, I'm not going to be able to do that. because

2:00

I want to remind you I want to help you

2:02

guys have a little bit of hope. Number two, because

2:04

I feel a bit hopeless.

2:08

Can I admit it to you guys struggling? It's been

2:10

a dark season, already been a dark season. It

2:12

has been a tough time. What I'm trying to

2:14

say is this, I feel you. It

2:17

does seem like a hopeless time. It does

2:19

seem like an incredibly godless time. What I

2:21

know for sure is this, we have everything

2:23

we need for life and godliness in Jesus

2:25

Christ. He is the hope and

2:28

no matter what happens in politics, it

2:30

cannot fix it. We have a deep rot.

2:33

So guess what? Whoever you want to

2:35

win the next election on either side

2:37

of anything, even if

2:39

you get everything you ever wish

2:42

forever, it will not

2:44

save us. There's a

2:46

hole that can only be filled with Jesus

2:48

Christ. Jesus Christ will give us hope. Jesus Christ

2:51

will give us peace and order. We have

2:53

a moral rot that is

2:55

not going to be able to be fixed. If you

2:57

don't know Jesus, then I want you to know this,

2:59

that hopelessness that you feel,

3:01

that will not be filled with any

3:03

politics, that will not be filled with any

3:05

leader. It doesn't matter who gets in office. You

3:07

say, see now the so-and-so is better. Whatever, pick your

3:09

issue. I don't care. The economy is better now. Yeah,

3:12

but there's still all these other things and all these

3:14

other things are really bad and then you go fix

3:16

the other things. But look

3:18

at it now, we fix that. But now the economy

3:20

is terrible and this and my kids are coming home

3:22

learning gender theory. It doesn't matter.

3:24

Nothing's going to be perfect. That's just the way

3:26

it is. That's life. The

3:28

hope that you are looking for can only be

3:31

found in a right

3:33

relationship with your Creator and

3:36

Jesus Christ, his death, his resurrection, made a

3:38

way for that to be possible. So my

3:40

encouragement to you, get to know

3:42

Jesus. Repent for your sin. Ask for forgiveness. I want

3:44

to change my mind. I change my mind. I don't

3:46

want to live the way I was living. I want

3:48

to live the way you tell

3:50

me to live according to your word God.

3:53

Your life will change so miraculously. You'll find

3:55

yourself so full of hope that all this

3:57

insanity happening in the world. won't

4:00

bother you in the same way. But yes,

4:02

there will be times when it will bother you because you

4:04

see it and your heart is broken. But

4:06

you're not going to try to find all of your hope through

4:09

fixing politics because it's never going to happen.

4:11

It's not a thing. So as

4:13

we start this episode today, propaganda, we've got to

4:15

talk about propaganda. The pastors, we're

4:17

talking about this idea about this. Should

4:19

pastors even be political? Is that

4:21

just something they should not do? There's a lot of

4:24

caveats I have for this, and we don't have time

4:26

to get into all the caveats.

4:29

Here's what I understand. If somebody says this,

4:31

John, I just don't

4:33

think pastors should waste their time studying

4:36

political philosophy. They are supposed to be studying the

4:38

Word of God and to rightly

4:40

divide the Word, share the gospel, preach

4:43

discipleship, teach

4:45

discipleship what it means to follow Jesus in every

4:48

area of life according to the Word of God.

4:50

They don't need politics for that. I

4:53

hear you. I actually really, really, really hear you.

4:55

There's something about that that I actually love. I'll

4:57

tell you what I don't want. I

4:59

don't want church on Sunday to be

5:02

a magma rally. If

5:05

what you're saying when you say that they shouldn't get political

5:07

is you're thinking that it's going

5:09

to be a rally for the GOP or

5:12

for the DNC. I

5:14

don't want that. Now, in this country,

5:18

it's accepted for that to be done on the left, but

5:20

if it's on the right, they call it Christian nationalism. It

5:22

happens on the left. They just call that living

5:25

the true faith, applying the gospel to politics. If

5:27

it's on the right, they call it Christian nationalism.

5:29

Well, here's the thing. I don't want

5:32

political rallies like that anyway. That's not what Sunday morning

5:34

is about. That's not what the church is about. Somebody

5:38

is confused. Christianity

5:41

with following Trump or something like that, of

5:43

course we don't do that. That's

5:46

not a thing. I think that

5:48

some of it is actually semantic. I

5:51

do understand what people say. It sounds very

5:53

pious to say. I don't think our pastors

5:55

need to understand political philosophy. I

5:58

think that when people say that ... is

6:00

coming with certain assumptions,

6:02

or baseline assumptions of

6:04

worldview and what the Bible teaches

6:08

about that sort of worldview and the idea

6:10

that somebody is just completely free of any

6:12

bias and any presuppositions, and is

6:14

that actually a thing that can happen? So I'll tell you what

6:16

I'm going to do. I want you to watch this 90-second video

6:19

I made that's going to

6:21

explain a little bit why I don't

6:23

really understand the idea of churches not

6:25

talking about politics, because there's

6:28

nothing more than morality applied, and I think

6:30

the Bible teaches about morality. This is going

6:32

to also share about my book, so it's

6:34

90-second clip. Watch this video. Don't

6:36

you know Christians shouldn't be

6:38

political. I hear that said

6:40

to me a hundred times

6:43

a day. Many Christian

6:45

leaders won't dare say anything

6:47

positive about America or the

6:49

West to the point that

6:51

they won't even teach principles of liberty.

6:53

They act as if freedom from tyranny

6:56

is just a given rather than something

6:58

that has been fought for, bled for,

7:00

and worth preserving. In fact, they sometimes

7:03

act as if preserving freedom is akin

7:05

to being selfish, and since Christ calls

7:07

us to give up our lives for

7:09

His sake, that we can't try to

7:12

hold on to the benefits of our

7:14

Republic. But is that true? Our leaders

7:16

won't whisper anything good about America because

7:19

it could seem idolatrous or because it

7:21

makes the kingdom too political. But have you

7:23

noticed they don't mind speaking of all the

7:25

bad things America has done? Apparently, that's just

7:28

keeping it real. In my opinion, if they

7:30

want to keep it real, they should tell

7:32

all of history good, the bad, and the

7:35

ugly. But why is this? I

7:37

believe that they have swallowed the narrative

7:39

of this age of oppressors and oppressed

7:41

groups, and the righteous thing to do

7:43

is to always speak up for the

7:46

perceived victim groups. And as you know,

7:48

America is said to be the Oppressor.

7:50

The question I have for

7:52

these leaders is this. What

7:54

Do you think will replace

7:56

American democracy after the secular

7:58

progressive revolution? When

8:01

we the more free or less worry

8:03

about our faith preach my gospel to

8:05

raise our children we all know the

8:07

answer is the we will be Less

8:10

Free that I as this why do

8:12

you think is more players to remain

8:14

silent while the world birds for the

8:17

answer This question is what we can

8:19

do about it. You need to go

8:21

get my new book will be week

8:23

and whoa Do it now at John

8:26

L. cooper.com So they go go get

8:28

the book John L. Cooper. Dot Com

8:30

a bigger like it is right here. This is

8:32

what it looks like is beautiful or it so.

8:34

We're. Going to jump into this is idea about probably get

8:37

i'm I'm again a lot to we then to this.

8:40

This. Idea about getting political I'm going

8:42

to be totally honestly so he does

8:45

is really serious on it. we're still

8:47

friends. If you disagree with this is

8:49

a certainly does the conversations me be

8:51

unreal Laura I wish this of wish

8:54

to god I wish to god. That.

8:56

We could go back to a

8:59

time when everybody America had a

9:01

sort of similar baseline about worldview.

9:04

And. I'll realize the rosary be on the

9:06

right and left. Christians and I for since

9:08

I'm not saying that even then it was

9:10

an important for some people to speak about

9:12

politics. I'm sorry Christian people to speak up

9:15

all these up. I actually think it is

9:17

that the is very important to decide. I

9:19

wish we go back to a time when

9:21

normal people are. This is. People.

9:23

With kids people are just like all just wanted

9:26

to kinda likes like teach my kids school and

9:28

like have a job and live for Jesus until

9:30

my friends because he's as a yes I can

9:32

want to go back to that. That.

9:35

Is that the America were living it

9:37

So it's kind of impossible is kind

9:39

of impossible to escape this situation. Will

9:41

you dislike her? others America But we

9:44

all kind of like agreed that like

9:46

for instance, Mike my kids shouldn't go

9:48

to school and like a drag queen

9:50

comes in and read stories to them

9:52

about edo transgender identities or something like

9:55

that and tells them is really good

9:57

to for boys to be gender fluid.

10:00

Can we go back to a time when

10:02

we do this Because the minute I come

10:04

on the group or seven say what I

10:06

just said was that drag queen read your

10:08

kids both Why are you getting political Stripping

10:10

Device obscure Being me, all these things hit.

10:12

Is kind of impossible to not be political in

10:14

that sense. So yeah, I wish we'd go back

10:17

to that time. I really did. So normal people

10:19

to could just get on with their laws

10:21

and say we kind of agree with some commonalities

10:23

in this country of things that we kind of

10:25

agree or are good and bad. So.

10:28

Those people. We. Agree on kind

10:30

of good or bad. But. Those people don't

10:32

recognize that Jesus is Lord. I wish

10:34

they would and but we agree on

10:36

morality so they're not constantly looking at

10:38

me like I'm a bad person because

10:40

I'm a Jew or I'm a Jesus

10:42

freaks and a follow the word of

10:44

god. They don't go yet judged as

10:46

well. He's He's actually kind of a

10:48

of a veto and evil mean. I'm.

10:51

In. Taller it bigoted. Feel.

10:54

On the Blake Phobos you have says

10:56

he can't have that way. Because years

10:58

was christians and Christianity sort of inherently

11:00

oppressive, we were living in a time

11:02

limit reaches of the from I bought.

11:04

This is just a quote. From.

11:07

The great Billy Graham was. You guys agree been

11:10

say that Billy Graham is where these guys that

11:12

we all you hear people say just gotta

11:14

keep about the gospel. Don't get involved deposits do

11:16

you agree to Billy Graham was sort of like.

11:19

Pretty. Like Gospel beast, he was a gospel

11:21

base if they're if they're at Abbey. There.

11:23

Ever was our lifetime. It was

11:26

Billy Graham. Do we have agreement on that? Here's

11:28

a Billy Graham. The guy who kept it about

11:30

the gospel said as as. Roughly.

11:32

Around Nineteen Sixty, I believe. Here's what

11:35

he says. and as Amurri and raised

11:37

for my books, let's look at the

11:39

words of the most influential of Angeles

11:41

and modern American history, Billy Graham, who

11:44

is known for keeping his message centered

11:46

on the gospel. He's all communism as

11:48

a worldwide threats to the gospel and

11:50

to humanity. Or less really

11:53

important wig bugs that humanity thing is,

11:55

I guess. Regarding his battle, he warned

11:57

quotes either Communism must Die or Christie.

12:00

The most die. Or

12:02

you can vulnerable Billy Graham. Gotta give it

12:04

up at all of these psyches. the gospel

12:06

base we should write a song. or yeah,

12:09

I'm the one the do bar and Billy

12:11

Graham as a gospel beast anyway. I don't

12:13

know. or maybe that even cells are. Not

12:16

really sure, but I like it. And

12:18

videos as Move On Billy Graham is

12:20

all about the gospel. These like A

12:23

B F Why I. As well as.

12:25

nagging. Political. But. Either Communism

12:28

will die. Or.

12:30

Christianity Will Die is one of the other

12:32

huge hits you get above these A living

12:34

at the Say does like that Harry Potter

12:36

and Voldemort that neither can live what neither

12:38

can exist while the while the other list

12:40

and and very by you but who cares

12:42

about that. Weird pop.

12:44

Culture references, Time okay on each

12:47

other. Both of them. Keyboard

12:49

Easy Easy Get aka he gets

12:52

a little extra here and then

12:54

I write. See, understood the religious

12:56

nature of Marxism Stephen rhetorically asking

12:58

quotes. Has it ever occurred to

13:01

you that the Devil is a

13:03

religious leader and millions are worshipping

13:05

at a shrine today? Billy Graham

13:07

continues. The name of this present

13:10

day religion is Communism. The Devil

13:12

is their god, marks their profits,

13:14

these diabolically inspired men seek and

13:16

devious and various ways to convert

13:19

a. Peaceful World to their doctrine

13:21

of Death and destruction And and

13:23

I write. He then

13:26

left us with a binary choice though

13:28

do on snow caviar. No apologies. Will

13:30

we be lead? This misses Billy Graham

13:32

quote: Will we be led by Jehovah

13:35

God or duped by Satan? The battle

13:37

lines are clearly drawn. Billy.

13:40

Graham Are you getting so divisive and so

13:42

political? Are you a person As analysts? When.

13:45

We talk about whether passers to get political

13:47

or not that there's a lot of semantics

13:50

of what we mean. And I think of

13:52

a great example of this: Do you believe.

13:55

That. Is is okay for passers to

13:57

arm and up are already told

13:59

you. I am not suggesting that I

14:01

want answers to become political activist for the

14:04

deal. Peace? Are you kidding me? Know? why?

14:06

Do Not. Have already told you.

14:08

The. Glp is going to lead us

14:10

to hell, just not as fast in

14:13

my opinion. As the Dnc.

14:16

But. But the geo be as us submitted

14:18

to the lord Jesus Christ but I'm awesome

14:20

some people to do a lot a nasty

14:22

stuff. A. Lot of diabolical

14:24

things happen. I don't want to

14:26

see Sunday morning be a deal,

14:28

be rally. I don't want that

14:30

for any political candidate think is

14:32

good but should we be talking

14:34

about moral issues should be saying

14:36

hey. Whatever. To

14:38

on abortion where where torment

14:40

the insanity of the gender

14:42

confusion happening in our schools,

14:44

to our kids to the

14:46

public. Defamation. And

14:49

blasphemous. A. Displays against

14:51

Christianity and you notice the

14:53

only gets to see any

14:56

dessert blasphemous displays against alla.

14:59

There's. Absolutely no of mean the is

15:01

meeting is lobsters not bless was as

15:03

lazy as other religions. But.

15:06

It but but it's okay of less was displayed.

15:08

His christianity is corrosive. the oppressors sun as saying

15:10

I want some sort of don't that do Not

15:13

send me it's a tweet or a com and

15:15

be like all usage or mega and I don't

15:17

want a mag a rally on a Sunday. Trump

15:20

is Not the prophet of God. America

15:22

is not the new Israel. Were

15:24

saying that. But we are saying

15:27

do we need to care about moral issues Billy

15:29

Graham understood it. You can either

15:31

of com is evident. So the question is

15:33

this isn't right for passers to understand the

15:36

times or at least is the i'm actually

15:38

really gracious person. I don't even go

15:40

as far as far as the say every

15:42

pass or must understand the times in that

15:44

way already to go that far because

15:46

I do have a caviar that there are

15:49

some passes. they're like. John.

15:51

I just don't feel called to understand all

15:54

those things. All that I do as a

15:56

exit. Geet, the passages. A strip search. As

15:58

all that I do, they. Apply it

16:00

to the culture. I don't watch the news, I

16:02

don't know anything going on. I live in a

16:05

cave, I exited the structures that is my calling

16:07

and I do not want to get involved and

16:09

all this of about abortion and I don't want

16:11

to do this. Now. As he

16:13

actually does that as he's exiting stressors, It

16:15

just makes sense that a lot of those

16:18

you will build a make. A

16:20

and you'll be able to to take

16:22

the moral applications and be like will.

16:24

Obviously that means these things. So

16:27

I'm giving you a caviar. Other people

16:29

like that. I've met some of the

16:31

the really godly man. I'm not saying

16:33

you're sitting by that doing it I

16:35

will. The everybody has to do this.

16:37

But do I think that every church

16:39

should have someone. Who. Understands

16:41

the times, As.

16:43

So loot me. That's.

16:46

All I'm saying should the understand the times

16:48

that we're living in. So. That they

16:50

can go. oh wait a minute, I don't. I get

16:52

political. This is about the job he plays You kidding

16:54

me? I don't care about a that stuff. I really

16:56

care if we vote but a do what you know.

16:59

As a little they'll give you vote

17:01

because of. I think it's pretty important.

17:03

As a as it that's the line

17:06

that I wouldn't sex but put them

17:08

on and to make the point they're

17:10

saying or another I guess on that

17:12

seems a d be amazing. Any of

17:14

that I'm just say and hate. Either

17:17

Communism or Christianity can live. They both

17:19

kit live. They are religions Oppose Marxism

17:21

is a religion opposing Christianity. They are

17:23

to totalizing kingdoms. They cannot coexist. One.

17:26

of these things as gotta go. Yes, I

17:28

do think. We. Have to add that.

17:31

Not. Here's what I'm really concerned about

17:33

were restricted unit once again here's were

17:35

really concerned about and what I personally

17:37

think is happening. In

17:39

a. It is in a. In a

17:42

I would he caught and attempts to not

17:44

be political. What you end up

17:46

having. Or. And I don't want

17:48

to be rude but as a man who don't understand the

17:50

times but. Maybe. I'd rather than

17:52

the times are not to my my they don't seem

17:55

to understand the times okay but that's what it is.

17:57

Our church leaders. Sorry. But

18:00

they will say because we're not going to get political. I

18:02

am here to teach the Word of God. I'm not here

18:04

to do those things. I'm just going to teach the Word

18:06

of God and we'll talk about morality. Well,

18:09

here's what I'm concerned is happening, what I

18:11

actually believe is happening. What

18:13

if, now stay with me, stay with me,

18:15

what if, I know I'm going on a

18:17

ledge here, not really, but what if, what

18:21

if, what if I, that was an

18:23

old Creed song, don't worry about it,

18:25

what if, anyway, what

18:27

if this, what if a

18:30

church leader thinks that

18:33

he is not being political at all? He's

18:35

like, hey, I'm not even like watching the news. I

18:37

don't get involved in this. I don't get involved in

18:39

any of those. I don't really care. I'm not political.

18:41

I never want to talk about politics. But

18:44

what if he doesn't

18:46

know that he is actually

18:48

so suckered in to

18:51

the propaganda of the day that he

18:54

is taking, he is taking

18:56

the Word. You see, he's taking the Word of

18:58

people, big media, big

19:00

tech, etc. He's taking their

19:03

Word on what is actually happening in the

19:05

world. He doesn't want to get

19:07

involved, but he's going, well, yeah, but

19:09

everybody knows, everybody knows A, B, or C,

19:12

because of the propaganda of the time we're living

19:14

in. And because of that, he says, guys, I'm

19:17

not getting political, but I am saying, if you

19:19

want to be a good Christian, you really should

19:21

do X, Y, and Z, because that's

19:23

what it means to be a light. Now,

19:25

he thinks he's not being political. He's just

19:27

applying morality to the situation. Can I give

19:30

you an example up in here? It's

19:32

not a hypothetical. What if somebody is so

19:34

suckered in to the propaganda of the day?

19:37

Well, we're about to get busy now, saw

19:39

nows when we're about to light it up.

19:42

Light it up. You see, it's a singing day,

19:44

apparently. I don't want music in my head. I'm

19:47

in the process of writing music right now. He's

19:51

so propaganda day, he goes, well, hey, I

19:53

don't get political, but everybody knows, everybody

19:56

knows the COVID is going around

19:59

and the only way to... stop it is

20:01

to get the jab. It's the only way to do it.

20:04

And there's a lot of people

20:06

out there saying that you shouldn't get the jab

20:08

or that you don't need it if you're young

20:10

or if you're a kid or if you're healthy

20:13

or if you've already had COVID, but those people

20:15

are spreading disinformation and a true Christian would never

20:17

spread disinformation. A true Christian

20:19

would never lie to his friend.

20:21

A true Christian would never put

20:23

other lives in danger, killing your

20:25

grandmother because you're so selfish and

20:28

you're so political because politics

20:30

is your God that you're not getting the

20:32

jab. Does that,

20:34

I mean I know I sound a little crazy

20:36

up in here, up in here, up in here.

20:38

Does that sound a

20:41

little bit familiar to anybody? Because it does to

20:43

me. I'm not being political. I'm not

20:45

being political. I don't get involved in

20:47

politics. I'm just saying obviously guys the

20:49

only way to stop the spread is

20:52

for everybody to get the jab. That's

20:54

the Christian thing to do. Does

20:56

this make sense to you guys? So

20:59

what I'm saying is this, am I

21:01

gracious? I think I'm gracious. I'm carving out a

21:03

caveat to where I say I have met godly

21:05

men who say I don't want to get involved

21:08

in politics. I'm never going to speak about it

21:10

and I don't even really care and that's not

21:12

my job. I'm here to exegete scripture. I don't

21:14

have time to study political vision. Am I carving

21:16

out a slut and saying I do think that there are

21:18

some of those people? Yes I am. I don't

21:21

dislike them. Here's what

21:24

I'm saying. I think that for

21:26

a lot of, some of them caveats.

21:29

Some of them, I'm watching my words today. Some

21:32

of them think that they don't

21:34

have any political vision but they actually do

21:36

because they're suckered by the propaganda of the

21:38

day. You have to have enough

21:40

of political political vision,

21:43

political philosophy, enough or

21:45

at least a great biblical

21:47

worldview to understand the

21:49

sort of thing that the Bible teaches and

21:51

the things that the Bible don't teach. And

21:54

so what happened now, am I saying that you have to

21:56

have other books besides the Bible to know that? I'm actually

21:58

not. I'm actually not. actually not. But

22:01

what happens, I think, more times than not, is

22:03

they go, I'm just biblical. I'm not looking at

22:05

anything else. But what happens when—now, listen to me,

22:07

what happens when this? When big

22:09

media, all of

22:11

big tech, big corporations,

22:15

you've seen it with Disney, Bud

22:17

Light, as you know, and all these campaigns that

22:19

have gone completely woke, they are

22:21

putting all of their money towards a certain agenda.

22:24

Do you agree with that? And

22:28

their ESG scores and all these environmental

22:30

social governance, it's called, all these scores

22:33

and things are based on progressive

22:36

ideologies that they are instituting in their

22:38

companies, whether it is trans

22:41

policies and pro-BLM and

22:44

pro-LGBT and climate initiatives

22:46

and woke stuff. The

22:48

more of that they put into their companies, the

22:51

more of these higher ratings they

22:53

get with these ESG scores. And

22:55

so the higher ratings they get,

22:57

it pushes out companies that do

22:59

not do the woke stuff. So

23:01

companies then have to implement woke

23:03

stuff and pro-LGBT stuff and

23:05

pro-BLM stuff and pro-social justice so that

23:08

they get a better score or else

23:10

their business is going to suffer. That's

23:13

why all the businesses have gone woke.

23:15

So you've got big tech, you've got

23:17

big media, you've got big business, all

23:19

the corporations, we call it corporatism sometimes,

23:21

you've got the White House joining in

23:23

in the propaganda to

23:26

silence certain voices on social media. We know

23:28

that for a fact now. We always knew

23:31

it. There was always proof, but now we

23:33

know it for a fact because it's actually

23:35

come out in Congress under oath. So

23:38

we know that that was true. And

23:41

now you have a politicized court

23:43

system. You've got politicized

23:45

teachers unions for K through 12. You've

23:48

got politicized universities.

23:52

Every single institution in the nation

23:54

is all forced one way. They

23:57

can only give you one side and they silence.

24:00

violence, any voices against it. So what do you have

24:02

when you have that? The milieu,

24:04

what a great word, milieu. I would say

24:06

what do you call it? The vibe, the

24:08

culture you grow up in all says these

24:11

things are normal and

24:13

these other things are not. And

24:15

so you can act like you're

24:17

not being political all you want

24:19

to, but every single force in

24:21

the nation, in the culture, your

24:23

friends, your friends' Facebook pages, your

24:26

friends' social media, your kids' schooling,

24:28

even, oh wait for it, even the

24:31

Christian private schools. I know this

24:33

for a fact. I'm all about the

24:35

private school. I'm actually all about

24:37

homeschool, but Christian private school is

24:39

an alternative. Christian a

24:41

classical education, a great alternative, love it. I

24:44

very much believe in it. Actually

24:46

I 100% believe in it, but

24:49

those are also getting the woke stuff

24:51

into them and you have

24:53

to be absolutely hypervigilant to get

24:55

this stuff out, to pay attention

24:57

because it's coming from Christian people.

24:59

Why? Because the entire milieu,

25:01

the entire vibe, the entire culture is

25:04

cramming it down the throat saying this

25:06

is what's normal. And before you know

25:08

it, you've become a propaganda machine saying

25:11

that you're not political because you're all about the word of

25:13

God. Do you see what I'm saying? You

25:15

just might actually be political. I want to

25:18

read you a Bible verse and then I'm

25:20

going to share with

25:22

you a couple of things happening so you

25:24

say, oh, that's what John's talking about and

25:26

I hope it encourages you. I want to

25:28

read this. A lot of people know this.

25:30

This is from 1st Chronicles

25:32

chapter 12. Can

25:34

we go down to verse 23? Are

25:37

you ready? These

25:40

are the numbers of the men armed for

25:42

battle who came to David at Hebron to

25:44

turn Saul's kingdom over to him as the

25:46

Lord had said. So here's all

25:48

the numbers of the men from all the

25:51

tribes. Okay, you have 12 tribes, right? So

25:53

here's what they do. From Judah carrying shield

25:55

and spear. 6,000 armed for battle.

25:57

Say if people from Judah, they're carrying

25:59

shield and spear. people from Simeon,

26:01

warriors ready for battle, from

26:03

Levi including blah blah blah blah blah

26:05

a brave young warrior with

26:08

22 officers from his family. You have

26:10

Benjamin which is Saul's tribe, 3,000 most

26:12

whom had remained loyal to Saul's house.

26:14

So you have all these people coming

26:17

blah blah blah. We're moving all the

26:19

way down to verse 32 from Issachar,

26:21

men who understood the times and knew

26:23

what Israel should do. I want

26:26

you to hear that. We've

26:29

got men with swords and shields. We

26:31

have warriors coming down. We have these other

26:33

people coming down. We have brave warriors coming

26:36

down. And then we have those men from

26:38

there. They are men who understood the times

26:40

and they knew what Israel should do. Now

26:43

this reminds some people have different interpretations

26:46

of what understood the times mean.

26:50

I have always understood that as these

26:52

are men who had wisdom. They understood the

26:54

times they were living in. They knew what

26:56

time it was. That might be our language.

26:58

Oh yeah, that guy totally gets it. You

27:00

know what I'm saying? So maybe he's not

27:03

the best preacher in the whole world.

27:05

Maybe he's not the best biblical exegete

27:07

ever. But that guy gets it. He

27:10

knows what time it is. He sees

27:12

what the enemy forces are doing. He

27:14

sees what they're doing. He understands the

27:16

time. He understands the politics of it.

27:18

He understands the religious implications

27:20

of it. Now you have

27:22

to understand too in biblical times, of course,

27:24

Old Testament times, the people

27:27

of God were constantly under

27:31

fire from other nations,

27:33

other ethnic groups with

27:35

their own gods. And

27:38

so God in

27:40

the Old Testament is constantly Yahweh.

27:42

God is constantly telling his people,

27:44

do not take in those other

27:46

gods. You defeat that other

27:49

group of people. You do not

27:51

worship their gods. When you defeat them,

27:53

you defeat their God. You

27:55

see what I'm saying? It's very much like no Separation

27:58

between the two. The Church and state

28:00

You might want to say in terms of ideology

28:03

you are the Nation of Israel That is a.

28:05

A a religious nation that is also

28:07

a political nations God is the head of

28:09

Israel. So you go in there you're

28:11

going to see these other armies. Those other

28:14

armies. They have different gods. They are

28:16

coming to you in the name of

28:18

bail, they're coming to you and the name

28:20

of whatever their dogs are. they're coming

28:22

to you. But. But we

28:24

are going to them. not in my own

28:26

name, but in the name of the Lord

28:28

who saves your way. Jobless were coming in

28:31

the name of the living God against you

28:33

and your God. We're going to defeat you.

28:35

Which means we're defeating your God. The.

28:37

Courses actually are: God is the V

28:39

To your God Proving that are God

28:41

is There's no one like he. always

28:43

there. Zone as powerful as your way.

28:45

There's no one is just as your

28:47

way. See reigns over everything. Your dogs

28:49

bow down to my God up in

28:51

this these glory. Hallelujah, don't shut Me

28:54

Down is a bridge. General goods and.

28:56

Are does. Get. A So your

28:58

your guys who's boss. But.

29:00

Then he's telling Israel. when you

29:02

do that, You. Do not

29:04

bring their dogs into your worship. To

29:07

me. And. As we see through

29:09

all the Old Testament. Of. Course they do

29:11

which is roy said and they bring

29:13

these a together. Could it be that

29:15

these metaphysical men who understood the times

29:17

and knew what they should do understood

29:20

with the battle was about. Understood Help

29:22

those gods are coming against hours. I.

29:25

Think today. it does it seem elite if

29:27

I've understood the bible correctly. If

29:29

you say disagree, some a comet, no problem.

29:32

But. I this is why Voters That has made. People.

29:34

Understand the times They see the

29:37

ideologies coming in to pervert the

29:39

church. It's. Like Billy Graham

29:41

build him say, I'm all about the gospel.

29:43

I don't want to be about politics, but

29:45

only communism or proceeded can survive. Not both.

29:48

Because. It's coming against the Living God. He.

29:50

Was a man who understood the times he saw what

29:53

was. He knew what time it was bro. Do.

29:55

You know, time. It. Lamps. i'm not saying

29:57

that every single pass or needs to be like

29:59

as I gave you my caveat because I'm a

30:01

super gracious person, but you

30:04

need someone at your church who

30:06

understands the times, or you just

30:08

might end up including

30:12

the worship of other gods into

30:15

your faith. Do you see what I'm saying? Sort of

30:17

like the Old Testament. You may end

30:19

up including, well, what do you mean by worship

30:21

of other gods? Well, basically, you just might try

30:24

to synthesize Christianity and Marxism.

30:27

That could never happen. Hello, have you

30:29

been paying attention since like 2019, or

30:33

maybe before actually, hit pretty

30:35

hard in 2020, I'd say. Maybe

30:38

there's a synthesis of worship

30:40

that's happening. Maybe it's Christianity

30:42

plus equity

30:45

and inclusion in the sexual revolution. Have

30:47

you seen that happening in churches? I

30:50

want to read one more thing. We also see a similar language

30:52

in the book of Esther, chapter 113. I'm

30:55

going to read the NIV for this just

30:57

because it's here. Since it was customary for

30:59

the king to consult experts in matters of

31:02

law and justice, he spoke with

31:04

the wise men who understood the

31:06

times. We

31:08

need people that can preach the word of God. I

31:11

am not asking you political, but

31:13

this idea that there can never be

31:15

any political talk, and there's a semantical argument for

31:17

that. I gave you a caveat for that. I

31:19

also told you what I do not want. I

31:21

don't want Sunday morning magma rallies, but

31:24

I will say the idea

31:26

of pastors and church leaders

31:28

that don't understand the times

31:30

in order to explain what law

31:32

and justice would be, that just

31:35

makes no sense to me. If

31:38

they constantly say, I'm not going to get into

31:40

that stuff, they're running into

31:42

danger of letting the

31:44

propaganda of the times change

31:47

the way of what they think is normal. Does

31:49

that make sense to you? How many conversations? I

31:51

had this conversation once a month now. It's 2024.

31:55

I still had this conversation with church leaders

31:57

who I love and who I respect. In

32:00

2024, send me a comment

32:02

and tell me if you agree. I'm just kind of

32:04

curious what your experience is. I'm not trying to get

32:06

you to yell about your pastor and not tell anybody

32:08

anything. Please honest to God, I mean

32:11

it. Give me a comment. Tell me if

32:13

you agree or disagree if you've experienced this.

32:16

In 2024, godly men that

32:18

I love and respect and I think are really

32:20

wonderful, they still,

32:24

to this day, they

32:28

still believe that universal

32:31

masking worked. No

32:36

matter how many receipts I show them, they

32:39

still believe it. They still believe

32:41

that the jab works. I'm

32:46

getting into dicey territory. I've never told anybody not

32:48

to get the jab. I'm just

32:50

saying, I've always said, you know what? I've always

32:53

said, pray about it, issue a conscience. Hey, if

32:55

I was 70 or 80 years old and I

32:57

thought, you know, in the short term this may

32:59

help even if long term, whatever it may be,

33:01

I understand that. But hey,

33:04

if you're young, you're healthy, I

33:07

don't think that I need it. You do whatever you want to do.

33:10

I still talk to church leaders who are like,

33:12

yeah, I hear what you're saying. They

33:15

think I'm spreading propaganda to

33:18

this day. Tell me if

33:20

you've experienced that. I'm a little blown away by it.

33:24

So let me give you some examples of just

33:26

things that just happened literally, like

33:28

in the last week. All right,

33:30

here's one thing that I want to share because this is what

33:32

I think, well, actually,

33:34

let's start here. This

33:37

is just so frustrating. I'm going to read this.

33:39

This is from Newsweek, some of the other articles

33:41

I'm going to read are from Daily Wire. This is

33:43

from Newsweek. Here's the title. Fauci

33:46

gives Republicans ammo for lab

33:48

leak, quote, conspiracy theory. It's

33:51

just, see the way that

33:53

the culture turns every day. Let

33:56

me explain. Well, let me read it and

33:58

then I'll explain what I mean. Dr.

34:01

Anthony Fauci provided ammo to Republicans

34:03

this week as he reportedly acknowledged

34:06

that claims that the COVID-19 virus

34:08

stemmed from a lab leak in

34:10

Wuhan, China was not a quote

34:12

conspiracy theory. Fauci's testimony

34:14

this week comes amid ongoing speculation

34:17

among Republicans that COVID-19 originated from

34:19

a lab leak in Wuhan, China,

34:22

from an ongoing speculation. I mean, it's

34:25

just, alright, anyway, for ongoing

34:27

speculation, you can just, you

34:30

can hear it in the article. The

34:32

US Department of Energy previously determined with

34:34

a low confidence rating that the virus

34:36

likely originated from a lab leak, the

34:38

Wall Street Journal previously reported. Over

34:42

this past week, Fauci, the former chief medical

34:44

advisor to the White House, appeared before the

34:46

Republican-led House select subcommittee on

34:48

the coronavirus pandemic to testify about

34:50

the origins of COVID-19 and how

34:52

different health agencies across the nation

34:54

responded to the pandemic. He

34:57

testified that the lab leak

34:59

hypothesis, which was often suppressed,

35:01

was in fact not a

35:03

conspiracy theory, committee chairman representative

35:05

Brad Winstrup said. It's

35:08

2024. You know what

35:10

I mean? It's

35:14

like, give them a slow clap. Thank

35:18

you. Thank you for being honest. It's

35:20

2024. You're years late.

35:23

This is insane. Alright, so

35:25

this just happened. We're talking about in

35:27

the last like eight days, okay guys, or nine days. The

35:31

statement also included key takeaways from Fauci's

35:33

closed-door testimony, which said, Dr. Fauci acknowledged

35:35

that the lab leak hypothesis is not

35:37

a conspiracy theory. This comes nearly four

35:40

years after prompting the publication of the

35:42

now infamous proximal origin

35:44

paper that attempted to vilify and

35:46

disprove the lab leak hypothesis. So

35:48

here's the thing. It's

35:51

not just that he said back then, no, it's

35:53

not probable. They wanted to

35:55

vilify it. In other words, they

35:58

were mounting a propaganda. campaign

36:01

and calling us spreading propaganda from saying something

36:04

that was more than likely obvious that like

36:06

everybody's like, oh yeah, that, well, that kind

36:08

of makes a lot more sense than what

36:10

they're saying. Even

36:13

then there was evidence coming out of the support. It

36:15

wasn't just people going, well, common sense, of course, duh.

36:17

Yes, it was common sense. Everybody kind

36:19

of went, oh yeah, okay, I get that. Most

36:21

everybody. They even had evidence

36:24

supporting it, but they were

36:26

still calling us propaganda whilst

36:28

they were doing a propaganda

36:30

campaign to intentionally vilify people

36:32

who said it. Guess

36:35

who else did the exact same

36:37

thing? Big

36:40

Eva, the big evangelical world, our

36:42

institutional leadership, Russell Moore, who used

36:44

to be the head of the

36:46

Southern Badgers Convention, ERLC, David

36:49

French. That

36:51

list is really, really big of the

36:54

people that came on and vilified us,

36:56

Dr. Francis Collin, who is the head

36:58

of the NIH under Fauci, who was

37:00

supposedly an evangelical Christian. Dr.

37:03

Collin's appeared with Russell Moore,

37:05

one of the leading most

37:07

influential evangelicals in

37:09

America now, and

37:11

called people like me, basically

37:14

John Cooper and people like Cooper stuff.

37:17

If you believe in the lab

37:19

leak theory, you are breaking the

37:21

law of Jesus to love your

37:23

neighbor as yourself because you're spreading

37:25

a lie. You are

37:27

hurting people. You are causing people to

37:29

die. You are spreading misinformation. You're

37:31

being a bad Christian. Why? Because

37:34

they believe the propaganda and

37:36

called us propagandists. They're

37:38

saying, hey, we're above politics. Russell Moore

37:40

is constantly talking about how he is

37:43

above politics. Look, I'm not saying

37:45

that he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. I'm not saying

37:47

he's not a brother in Christ. I don't know Russell

37:49

Moore. I don't hate Russell Moore. I would

37:51

have a conversation with him, and I would treat him

37:53

as a fellow Christian because I don't know his heart

37:55

before the Lord. So don't think I'm saying I hate

37:57

this guy. I don't want to create a war. He's

38:00

the one training a war by saying when

38:03

we said what was obviously true and

38:05

is pretty much, I think even Dr.

38:07

Fauci is like, okay, okay,

38:09

this is a chance that this is

38:11

right. After they vilified us,

38:14

you see what I'm saying? It's like they're

38:16

the ones doing the propaganda saying they're not

38:18

being political, calling us political. Well,

38:20

I think that we need men who

38:22

understand the times. Part of understanding the

38:24

times is looking at people like Francis

38:27

Collins, Dr. Collins, and frankly, Russell Warren

38:29

say, you guys are bringing

38:31

something, you are believing propaganda. You

38:34

are doing something really bad. It

38:37

could lead to an

38:40

incredibly tyrannical totalitarian

38:43

state. I don't

38:45

want to get political, but like Billy Graham

38:48

said, communism, Marxism, collectivism,

38:50

giving the state all-consuming, supreme

38:52

power so that you can

38:54

no longer make decisions about

38:58

certain things, jabs that you put in your body

39:00

or about your children. They're

39:02

trying to mandate this up for little kids

39:04

and saying if you didn't do it, then

39:06

you're not showing that you love your neighbor.

39:09

I think that it's the Christian thing to say, hey, I

39:11

don't want to get political either, but

39:13

you can either choose Christianity or communism

39:15

like Billy Graham said, you

39:17

have to choose one or the other. I'm

39:20

not really into the all-powerful

39:23

state. Are

39:25

you? I think the

39:27

only question, that's why I asked Russell Moore, I say, Russell,

39:31

do you agree that slavery was wrong

39:33

and the Christian thing to do would have

39:35

been to speak out against slavery? Of

39:38

course he'd say, yeah, because he's hyperwoke. Are you

39:40

a racist? That'd

39:43

be the worst thing you could ever call somebody like a woke

39:45

person like Russell Moore. Of course he

39:47

would say, of course it's

39:49

the Christian thing to do. Well, that's what we're doing

39:52

to you, bro. You've

39:54

swallowed the propaganda machine and

39:56

that's what we're doing to you because we're

39:58

men who understand the time. All

40:00

right. Now let's keep reading this. I'm

40:05

only saying this because the end of this you got to

40:07

hear. Where

40:09

is it? Where is it? Fauci. There's a quote from Dr. Fauci

40:11

at the end of this article. You have to look at the

40:13

data. I don't see any data for a lab leak. This is

40:16

what he said in 22. That

40:18

doesn't mean it could not have happened. Now this isn't

40:20

22 when he was finally saying there's no way it

40:22

happened, but blah, blah, blah. He goes,

40:24

and that's the reason I keep an open

40:26

mind always about that, Fauci said during an

40:28

interview with Boston Globe in 2023. Sorry. That

40:30

was in February 23. So that's

40:32

when he went from the, you know, this

40:35

is, you know, there's no way this happened. All these

40:37

people are spreading propaganda. Last

40:39

February 23, since about almost a year ago, he's

40:41

like, okay, I'm not saying it couldn't happen. I'm

40:43

saying there's still nothing to prove that. He was,

40:45

of course, not, I think not

40:47

being honest. And then

40:49

the last thing I want to read for me is really funny. Hold on. Where

40:51

is it? Where is it? Where is it? Oh,

40:54

he goes, previously,

40:56

Dr. Fauci advocated that when you make

40:58

it difficult for people in their lives,

41:00

this is a quote, they lose their

41:03

ideological, and then he uses the word

41:05

BS, okay? So he said, previously,

41:07

Dr. Fauci advocated, quote, that when you

41:09

make it difficult for people in their

41:11

lives, they lose their ideological junk, you

41:13

know, BS, he says. Then

41:16

they get vaccinated. That's the statement. So back then he was saying,

41:18

hey, we're going to make them lose, we're going to make their

41:20

lives difficult. We're going to mandate

41:22

this thing. We're going to mandate the jab. We're going to

41:24

say that if you're saying that all of a sudden is

41:26

it true, then you're spreading propaganda. We're

41:28

going to vilify you. I'm going to get

41:31

Christians like Dr. Collins. And at

41:33

the time, I think he even had Tim Keller on the

41:35

ship, Tim Keller also with him at that point. And

41:39

people like David French, Russell Moore, these are

41:41

all people that jumped on board with that.

41:43

If you don't do this, you're not loving

41:46

your neighbor campaign. And so we're

41:48

going to make your life difficult until you do it.

41:50

All I'm asking is this. I'm

41:52

not saying pastors need to get political.

41:54

Would it be good for a pastor

41:56

to have enough Political understanding

41:58

of the time? Did

42:00

they go? I wait a minute. Wait a minute.

42:03

It is not actually right for you guys

42:05

to become tyrannical and did try to make.

42:08

All. Of American citizen slays.

42:10

To. Your idea, lodge or

42:13

ideological of prerogatives. That.

42:15

Is not a good thing to do this Really couple of

42:17

things have happened because. It's actually kind of quite

42:19

amazing. This. When you

42:21

guys are annex going to play the video because this

42:24

is. Just so absolutely disgusting.

42:26

So Trump won the Iowa

42:28

Caucus Saying that happen just

42:30

last week, right? Joy.

42:32

Reid on Msnbc is basically saying

42:34

this is a problem The reason

42:36

that the saboteurs because because of

42:39

white christians. And. Then she starts saying

42:41

a bunch of days as see things were white

42:43

Christians are all about his eyes which is better

42:45

for your the video for yourself. Speaking.

42:48

Of propaganda and then I'll get my to says watch

42:50

this video. But you know

42:52

I feel like of a for it

42:54

sort of. Data points as a else

42:56

thinks talks about it a lot. It

42:58

ain't gonna probably talk about a little

43:00

more tonight is it says say the

43:03

white christians that this is a state

43:05

that has overrepresented are over represented by

43:07

white person but Athena participate in a

43:09

project is especially to nice of I

43:11

a day earlier today resort to rob

43:13

a job hopping jones and from the

43:16

Public Religion Research institute knowing that we

43:18

were going to talk about Iowa and

43:20

this is a hyper evangelical white state

43:22

and he for the always to me

43:24

Iowa is about sixty one percent white

43:27

christians. The country as a whole is

43:29

approximately forty one percent white christian and

43:31

in Iowa or tablet evangelical white christian.

43:33

the he's at the following of asked

43:35

if they get out of supporting the

43:37

edge of because he keeps moving he

43:40

keeps delivering was the bothers me that

43:42

the family they see themselves as the

43:44

rightful inheritance of this country and Trump

43:46

has promised to give it to them.

43:48

All the things that we think about.

43:51

About Electability About you know what people

43:53

gaming out of? The none of that

43:55

matters when you. Believe that God

43:57

has given you this. country

44:01

and that everyone who is not a

44:03

white conservative Christian is a

44:05

fraudulent American, is a less real

44:07

American. I've

44:10

spent a lot of time on this show teaching

44:13

some of you guys or sharing with

44:15

you guys about what people mean when

44:17

they say Christian nationalism, what they mean

44:20

when they say quote Western Christianity, when

44:22

they say white evangelicalism, when they say,

44:24

I can't even think of any other

44:26

words right now. All these

44:28

words to them mean the same

44:31

thing and this is why it

44:33

is so confusing when they say things like, well,

44:35

white evangelical do this. The

44:38

black church does this. The white church, this

44:40

is why all of these word games have

44:42

got to be defined. It's

44:44

very confusing but this

44:46

is the propaganda happening.

44:49

Now I showed you guys a few years ago, people like Beth

44:51

Moore completely swallowed this

44:54

narrative. The narrative is

44:56

this, what we call

44:58

historical Christianity is

45:00

not actually true Christianity. People

45:03

like you, you might be watching this

45:05

and I say, hey guys, the historic

45:07

church, the creeds of the church, the

45:10

Reformation, so I'm talking about Luther, Calvin,

45:12

the Reformation folks or even the early church fathers,

45:14

you could even go back that far if you

45:16

really want to. I'm an AS

45:19

in these people like that. Augustine

45:22

or Augustine, people call

45:24

them smart people. Augustine, I like

45:26

to say because I'm a redneck and it reminds me of

45:28

St. Augustine in Florida. Augustine and

45:30

these people, these church fathers, basically what

45:33

they're saying is this, true

45:35

Christianity was distorted

45:37

nearly from the beginning,

45:39

they say, and it

45:42

keeps getting more perverted and more perverted

45:44

and more perverted. Catholicism

45:46

perverted the faith and made

45:49

it even more nationalistic and

45:51

militaristic. Then the Reformation came

45:53

and made it an entirely different kind

45:55

of militaristic. And then you

45:57

had European white people that then went. And

46:00

spread in an imperialistic fashion around the

46:02

whole world. A They came to what

46:05

is now America. The Americas. They spread

46:07

around the world. In colonialism

46:09

and imperialism and spread a

46:11

distorted version of christianity that

46:13

they call true Christianity. They

46:15

call it the historic face

46:17

Orthodox Christianity. You go whatever

46:19

you want to the point

46:21

Joy reads making as the

46:23

same point that people like.

46:27

You hear sometimes and a light version from

46:29

Silva Sir or i'm the gym artist be

46:31

who wrote woke Search you hear the lite

46:34

version of that coming from those kind of

46:36

folks few you're a heavier versa that coming

46:38

from people like as the A Butler and

46:40

in some of these people have on his

46:43

new film coming out next month. Other

46:45

films called. Of Church

46:47

and State are Selected Was called done

46:49

by atheists Rob Reiner who's a progressive

46:51

leftist on it. He's got all these

46:53

Russell, More David friends fill. This are

46:55

all these people just beating up on

46:57

Chris. A national Islam is a christian.

46:59

Nasa's is the biggest threat to America.

47:01

Or what are they mean By Chris

47:03

Nationalism? They mean this distorted. Version.

47:06

Of Christianity that is inherently

47:08

racist, it is inherently. Bigoted.

47:11

Towards any body that is didn't

47:13

have white skin, it is inherently

47:15

bigoted towards any body that was

47:18

not born with white skin. Particular,

47:20

and particularly in this country meeting

47:22

the actual soil of America. We

47:24

come here were from here. This

47:26

is my land. Get off my

47:29

property. Ah, you know I'm getting

47:31

out with your your. He.

47:33

Was should be mixing skin colors,

47:37

of were bet you're more like animals

47:39

that we are ill whatever kind of

47:41

races scientific racism or even just not

47:43

even necessarily scientific racism but just say

47:45

hey five years whereas they were better

47:48

than you but we don't want you

47:50

here go back to your country that

47:52

sort of like this is our land

47:54

and it belongs to white people and

47:56

it belongs to the patriarchy it it

47:59

belongs to people with trucks and guns, and

48:01

if you're not like that, then you're not a true

48:03

American and we want to kick you out. Meaning,

48:06

we want to get guns, take over the White

48:08

House, like

48:10

actual militant revolution, and

48:13

this belongs to us. God

48:15

gave us this land. This is

48:17

our land. Sort of like God

48:19

gave Israel to the nation of God

48:21

kind of a thing. That's

48:23

what they say. It is a caricature of

48:26

your typical

48:30

evangelical. It's a total caricature.

48:33

I don't know a single person that believes in any of those

48:35

things. I'm not saying they don't exist. They

48:38

do. There are some crazies out

48:40

here. But that's not what

48:42

typical Christians believe. That's

48:46

not even what they mean when they say,

48:48

guys, we've got to take this country back

48:50

for God. They don't mean this militaristic forcing

48:52

people that are in Christians. What they mean

48:54

is this. This country was

48:56

born with an understanding that the Bible

48:58

is good and that it is good

49:00

to honor God. Because of

49:03

that, we were blessed and we now have a

49:05

bunch of moral rot and we need to go

49:07

back. In other words, the hope for America is

49:09

in what we used to have in the past,

49:12

meaning moral order, recognizing that evil

49:15

things are evil and good, godly

49:17

things are good, as opposed

49:19

to trading evil for good and good for evil, which

49:21

is the time we're in now. This

49:23

is a good example. What happens if you're

49:25

a church leader who's like, I don't want to get involved

49:27

in politics. I don't care about any of that stuff. I

49:29

don't even watch the news. What

49:31

if you're like that, but every single thing

49:33

you hear in culture from big tech, big

49:35

media, big corporation, universities, even

49:38

the Christian universities, you guys, we

49:40

took our son down to Wheaton.

49:42

I think it was Wheaton, wasn't it? Whatever Bible

49:44

college we went to, the Christian colleges, see what it

49:46

was all about. It was

49:49

so stinking woke. It

49:51

was so disgustingly woke That

49:54

I would never in a million years send

49:56

my kid to that school. They

50:00

do is wait new Now I'm getting confused what what

50:02

whatever school was. It's the one the Billy Graham went

50:04

to and I think that is we look it up

50:06

so I'm more serves as one of Billy Graham a

50:08

to than that it was waiting to check it out

50:11

on. The. So odd

50:13

anywhere There's that, and I'm.

50:16

Point. Being even a christian colleges

50:18

are are are saying these

50:20

kinds of things. As

50:22

the norm. So. What happens

50:24

if as a church later you'll get

50:27

involved the the things but use or

50:29

believing all this propaganda as it is

50:31

and so you start saying things. The

50:34

yield think our political but they actually

50:36

are quite like Political Vision Read: you

And censorship against. Ah,

51:57

profit from such laws So. Let

52:00

me just get a tell you we're dealing with and then

52:02

I'll be done. What we're dealing with is this. Differences.

52:05

In Germany it it is unlawful

52:07

52:32

May not educate your

52:34

own kids. Why? Because.

52:36

You can't be trusted to that belongs to the site.

52:39

Because we'd a what you turning your

52:41

kids into little extreme crazy pants the

52:43

do something like roller to again you

52:45

see org odds with it was returning

52:47

some gonna crazy all we have our

52:49

our religion in our big three know

52:52

we don't want you have some sleep

52:54

this frame religion. We need commonalities. What

52:56

is commonalities? The commonality is that Love

52:58

for the state. To. See

53:00

what I'm saying? Love for the state

53:02

and the stable dictates what is extreme

53:04

and what does not extreme. A So

53:06

if you are teaching, York is. That.

53:09

There are only two genders. Then.

53:11

You are extreme. You

53:14

are radical. You are one of those white

53:16

presence As white evangelicals that believe this is

53:18

our land and we gotta go back to

53:21

it. Is him saying. All

53:23

of this is the same thing or

53:25

they just called media literacy. I'm

53:27

not saying that the passers a preacher's

53:29

the to sit around reading headlines and

53:32

understanding the ins and outs of propaganda,

53:34

but what I see nine times out

53:36

of ten. Or. People are people

53:38

who say they say to people like me

53:41

church leaders they be like me like I'd

53:43

look I believe is a i like what

53:45

you do I just I will the I

53:47

would want to do that I'd I think

53:50

that some things are getting into John like

53:52

talking about the policing of speech. Those are

53:54

not Christian issues. and it just sounds

53:56

like you're renting it just says it is something that

53:58

first doesn't need to be involved in and what

54:00

they end up doing is making

54:03

it seem like nine times out of ten

54:05

that Christian conservatives

54:07

who do care about these things are

54:10

hyper extreme while

54:12

Christians who are on the

54:14

left are actually not. They're the normal

54:16

ones. That's what they do.

54:18

They never say, hey it's actually pretty extreme

54:20

that you guys want to police speech. You

54:22

know like I'm not really into the policing

54:25

speech. I'm not really into the like the

54:27

getting the drag queens and the Germans to

54:29

come into America. Paying a German firm to

54:31

come and teach us better

54:33

media literacy. Are you serious?

54:36

From Germany? I mean

54:38

I'm not being me. I love Germany and German

54:40

people are awesome. I love the country but you're

54:43

gonna get, it doesn't matter if it's

54:46

Germany, you're gonna get another country. You're

54:48

going to get a country less

54:50

free than us to

54:53

come teach our kids about media literacy

54:55

and we're gonna pay for it. Nine

54:58

times out of ten what you see are our

55:01

preachers who say they don't want to

55:03

get political but if they were

55:05

going to come down on something they

55:07

would come down against people like me.

55:10

Not against people that are being

55:12

quiet about the Germans teaching their media literacy.

55:14

You know it's true. You know

55:16

it's true. Now I'm only

55:19

talking about leaders that are like I'm not getting political.

55:21

We don't talk about any of that stuff. I'm telling

55:23

that group. It's nearly

55:25

impossible at this point if

55:27

you believe that

55:29

the call of the church is

55:31

actually as Billy Graham said to recognize

55:35

that something like communism

55:37

will destroy Christianity but

55:39

also it'll destroy humanity.

55:41

So and I told you earlier I read it

55:43

I remember I said we'll come back to humanity

55:46

later. Remember circling back at the end, I mean

55:48

end of my story, into my picture I'm painting

55:50

for you. Does Christianity have a

55:52

responsibility? Do Christian leaders have responsibility to say

55:54

hey I don't want to get involved in

55:56

partisan politics and tell you who to vote

55:59

for but I do. do have a responsibility

56:02

that if I say humanity is about

56:04

to get enslaved,

56:07

do I have a responsibility to say something sort

56:10

of like Chatel Slavery? Do

56:12

I have a responsibility to say, hey,

56:14

guys, you are literally destroying humanity by

56:17

allowing Chatel Slavery in

56:19

America? We can't do that. Is

56:21

that Christian? And if it

56:23

is Christian, then it follows

56:25

the saying communism is an

56:28

evil empire that wants to

56:30

destroy Christianity, 100% completely

56:32

annihilate it from the planet, and

56:35

then enslave the rest of the

56:37

planet under the

56:39

state, the power of the state. That

56:41

is actually not good. That will lead to the enslavement

56:43

of all of humanity. We got to

56:45

speak out against that. If you believe that, then it

56:47

follows, oh, we're about to hit it now. Then

56:51

it follows that you would say, I don't really want

56:53

to get political, but in

56:55

terms of enslavement and absolute

56:57

evil and absolute genocide, we

57:00

do have to say the number one cause

57:02

of death in America is not

57:05

diabetes, it's not starvation, it's not

57:07

cancer, it's not floods, it's not

57:09

hurricanes, it's not heart disease, it's

57:11

not old age, it's abortion. We

57:14

kill more living people in

57:16

this country a year

57:19

than die from anything else, and that is

57:21

a genocide. And I don't want to get

57:24

political. I'm just saying that is so robustly

57:26

evil that you can't actually go in the

57:28

pulpit week after week after week and never

57:30

say anything about that. Do

57:32

you see what I'm saying? And if that is

57:35

what's happening, we need men who understand the times,

57:38

and if you're somebody that says, look, I don't

57:40

have time for that, I just want to exegete

57:42

the word of God, then I would just encourage

57:45

you, then have somebody with you, whether they're on

57:47

your staff, whether it's a voice that you listen

57:49

to, whether it's someone that you trust who does

57:51

understand the times and can say to you, hey,

57:55

Pastor Bob, I just want you

57:57

to understand what we're dealing with, with this censoring

58:00

of speech. This isn't a

58:02

partisan thing. This isn't red state people picking

58:04

up their guns saying, click, click. You can

58:06

have my speech when you pry for my

58:09

cold dead larynx. That's not what we're talking

58:11

about. They are trying to police your speech

58:13

about the faith. It will hit you in

58:15

the pulpit if you don't stand against it

58:18

now. And even if you don't stand against

58:20

it, I think that

58:22

it would be wrong for you to

58:24

come down against Christians who didn't speak

58:26

against it as if they're just a

58:29

bunch of militaristic, quote unquote, white evangelicals,

58:31

Western patriarchal rednecks who want to storm

58:33

the Capitol. I don't think

58:35

you should do that because that's actually

58:38

not really what's going on. My

58:40

challenge for you. Do you want to be a parent

58:43

who understands the times? I hope you do. And I'm

58:45

not saying you got to sit around reading this stuff

58:47

day after day after day. You need to know what

58:49

your kids are learning. You need to be in charge

58:51

of what your kids are learning. Have a great week.
