BREAKING: Declassified Docs EXPOSE Obamas Role in Russiagate HOAX | The Rift | Guest: Kevin Posobiec
Tulsi Gabbard is trying to make up for the mistakes of the current admin by finally pulling back the curtain on who conjured up the RUSSIAGATE hoax and HOW it was able to spread so widely in Trump’s first go-around - and you may not be surprised at all regarding who was behind it.
Also - are PBS and NPR really set to be DEFUNDED? Is this a radical move by the Trump administration, or something they had coming for a long time?
Kevin Posobiec joins us for another show on The Rift on RIFT TV!

You know, as you go through the day and you consume your snacks, your whatever goislop that the companies told you to eat off those TV commercials, and you walk around, you know, with your semi-productive life thinking, could things get any weirder?
Could they get any worse?
Now, thankfully, we live in the United States of America.
So that is every day.
When I turn on the news and I read what's going on, it does get worse.
But you have a choice to make.
As the world gets worse and worse, are you going to cave to the chaos?
Are you going to cave to the confusion or are you going to do what we all do?
Get mad on X, waste all of your time on social media and add to the division.
My name is Elijah Schaefer, and my job is literally to sew division in the world.
Welcome back to the show.
I hope you enjoy it.
I want to talk about today something really crazy.
One of the main things are top stories.
The director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is referring everyone involved in Russia hoax to DOJ for prosecution.
It turns out that perhaps, perhaps they knew that Russia was never involved in our politics.
And yet we pushed the hoax anyways and spent tens of millions, maybe even hundreds of millions of dollars overall in prosecution to split the country apart.
I'm finding out today, just now my producers in my ear telling me the Democrats are the bad guys.
That's literally what this is.
I mean, we're finding out.
I mean, who doesn't know this?
Plus, on top of that, Congress did something.
I know they actually are releasing the Epstein files, what we all asked for.
Producers back in my year, he said, no, wait, they didn't do that.
They defunded NPR, which nobody was asking for, but we'll find out that was a good thing.
$9 billion that they're no longer going to be giving.
Who knew that getting an overproduced audio-only podcast about why Trump is a racist isn't really something we want to spend our tax dollars on?
I will say, after seeing Elmo finally turn far right, I'm kind of upset that he's losing his funding.
I thought he should get a raise.
He should cut funding for everything except for Elmo.
Get that guy a swastika.
Now, I'm joking on that too.
It's very bad what Elmo did.
We condemn.
Additionally, it looks like Colbert's been canceled.
I didn't even know he was still on air.
The real crime in this was that people were still watching the show.
I didn't even know that as well.
And Bitcoin now is so, so high that one individual spent, I think, just about $54,000 in 2011.
He just cashed out for $9.6 billion.
So it's not bad for everybody.
My name is Elijah Schaefer.
It is a Friday night, and I only have my snack.
I've got my water as well.
Whatever you're drinking in the chat right now, let me know.
Do you have a beer?
Do you have a water?
Do you wish you had a beer, but you're an alcoholic so you can't drink beer?
Or are you on a show so you can't drink beer because your producer says that you say bad words that will get your videos deleted when you drink while you're live?
That's not me, by the way.
It is approximately 7.03 p.m. Eastern time in the United States.
We have a great cast for you guys.
I'm in one of those moods.
You know what I mean?
I'm just in one of those moods where it's like, I don't care about anything, but I got to be here.
It's like Sarah Stock, but without blonde hair.
You know what I mean?
I'm just paid to be here.
Now, we do have a great show for you guys.
Make sure that you sit back, relax, get whatever you need to have a great show.
Lube up with your van man.
Let's get into it.
We did it.
They defunded NPR.
That's what you guys were all asking about this week.
All week we've been covering whether or not they would finally cut the funding to public broadcasting.
I know that the Epstein files don't really matter.
You know, the economy isn't that important.
I'm just asking, when are we going to bomb Iran again with Israel?
Because that's what I know every constituent in the United States has been calling their senators and congressmen about.
We live in the United States of America where we're a republic, which is a representative government that does everything but represent you.
So people say, well, is our government a democracy?
Are we a republic today?
Yes, we do represent somebody, but it's big pharma companies, big food companies, agriculturally poisonous companies.
This is a pharmaceutical companies for plants because some of these antipesticides that are out there actually are like just as healthy as the stuff they're giving us, right?
Before the plants, then we eat the plants, become sick, but they have the medication to solve the problems.
Join me today is a cast, a crew of misfits on the island of misfit toys.
Joining me today, the better-looking Pesobic.
Tell us who you are and why you're here.
unidentified
Hey, good to see you again, Elijah.
Congrats on the new studio here.
Founder of the Gulf of America coming at you live, bass tread Catholic.
Anyway, speaking of that, back in the back of the room, we have on the deck our two friends, of course, contributor here at RiftTV.com and also producer for a new show we will be launching soon.
You know, except when I'm laughing at inner cities, then it is dark and it is funny.
It is humorous.
Let's talk about the story.
So it's kind of crazy what's been going on.
It feels as if I'm going to age myself here that I'm waiting for like Ashton Kutcher to like pop out every day of my screen and be like, just kidding, you got punked, right?
He did get away with murder, I think, by the way.
That's a side note.
He did see the crime.
I think he might have committed it, but we'll move on.
But now he's an activist for ending world poverty.
So let's not talk about that.
Those in the chat that get it, get it.
We have our top story, which is kind of crazy.
You know, for years, we talked about the idea that, you know, right now, we're talking about a hoax, the Epstein hoax, right?
It existed and then it didn't exist.
And now it's all over the place and then it's nowhere.
And then, by the way, we're going to release some of it and now we're going to release none of it.
But you're stupid if you want to hear more about it.
I do like Trump's approach to the Epstein files.
I've got to use it on my wife.
You know, I thought I've gaslit her with every other opportunity there is, but now just saying like, if she like accuses me or says something and it's like the evidence is there, I'm going to be like, what are you stupid for wanting to know?
It's like, yeah, I do want to know what you did with the boys last night.
Why did you guys come over with just your underwear on, rub down in Vanman from the set?
I'm like, what are you an idiot?
You stupid?
You want to know that?
This isn't happening right now.
We found out about another hoax that's going on.
This one was released across platforms, including on the Gateway Punt.
It's summarized here by Red Wave Press.
It turns out that DNI and Tulsi Gabbard, the director, is referring to everyone involved in the Russia hoax to the DOJ for prosecution after it was revealed that Obama administration, quote, manufactured the hoax.
DNI Gabbard wrote on X that their goal was to usurp President Trump and subvert the will of the American people.
No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The integrity of our Democratic Republic depends on it.
This is the Will Kane show, and we begin with a breaking news alert.
Fox News Digital exclusively reporting that the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence to create a narrative that the Kremlin was trying to influence the 2016 presidential election.
This is the origins of Russia, Russia, Russia.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has just declassified today these documents laying out this timeline.
Prior to 2016 and the election, officials from across the intelligence community assessed Russia lack the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections.
After President Trump's 2016 victory, early intel assessments proved that there was no foreign manipulation.
Now, officials tell Fox that intelligence was then manufactured and politicized to be used as the basis for the year-long Mueller probe.
The documents state, quote, hours before the December 8th, 2016 PDB was due to be published, a senior intelligence official abruptly pulled it from the president's briefing book.
It was never published.
The next day, on December 9th, 2016, the Obama White House convened in a classified NSC meeting with top administration officials to discuss Russia.
Following the meeting, an email was then sent from then-DNI Clapper's executive assistant to the intelligence community officials with the subject line, POTUS tasking on Russia election meddling.
Within hours, the intelligence community made a 180-degree pivot and started drafting an intelligence community assessment that directly contradicted assessments from the previous six months, manufacturing and amplifying the Russia hoax narrative.
This is what DNI Director Gabbard is saying today.
There was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government.
We'll continue to break down the bombshell as it develops.
That's literally what I'm making our studio look like.
So that's not even funny.
But okay, but jokes aside, you take that off.
I want to go to post-o here.
It's like, what I always find happens with the government is they always go, we got a big bombshell going on here.
This is insane.
Guess what?
Something that happened 10 years ago that's irrelevant now and has nothing to do with anything.
We've just uncovered all the secrets and we're conveniently releasing it to distract from another controversy that's relevant now that we're not releasing.
So you think we're doing something and we're going to use big words like you're all going to be prosecuted.
So many of you guys are going to are going to are going to pay for this.
You're all going to pay, Democrats.
And usually nothing ever happens at all.
Somebody irrelevant goes to jail that's connected.
Somebody's like, you know, executive assistant that hit an email goes to jail.
But nothing actually occurs.
And I just don't care about this stuff, really, because we know the Russia Gate hoax was a hoax.
That's why we call it the Russia Gate hoax.
And it's like, you know, Obama, Obama's involved in fake things.
He has a fake wife.
You know what I mean?
I'm just saying.
His wife's name is, they don't even have, she doesn't have a real name.
So I don't know if you feel like this is really anything much of anything, but in retrospect, we're asking for the Epstein files, damn it.
We don't want Russia Gate answers.
I feel like they're just gaslighting us again.
unidentified
It was already a hoax to begin with.
And listen, I mean, we already caught him spying on the Trump campaign.
So it's actually kind of good to see because wasn't he just on yesterday talking about how it's good for guys to have like gay friends?
At a time when openly gay folks still weren't having money.
Who became one of my favorite professors and was a great guy and would call me out when I started saying stuff that was ignorant.
You'd need that to show empathy and kindness.
And by the way, you need that person in your friend group so that if you then have a boy who is gay or non-binary or what have you, they have somebody that they can go, okay, I'm not alone in this.
Right.
So okay.
unidentified
Yeah, he had the stutter.
He had the stutter.
You couldn't tell if he was like being pitcher or catcher before he responded.
You literally ordered predator drone strikes to wipe out entire families at weddings.
It's like, you know, when he gives me, it's a time to empathy.
And you go, dude, listen, this is why I always hate everyone in the government.
You are a piece of shit.
Okay.
You literally ordered the murder of many, many, many, many children, many, many innocent people.
You, you know, helped bail out the banks, by the way, ensured that the U.S. economy was in the hands of Jewish Zionist bankers.
You worked to ensure that our money would have constant fractional reserve lending devaluation.
You sat around here and preached peace and tolerance while you yourself went home and slept with a man who has a bigger back than me and who I'm jealous of, by the way, literally.
With Michelle, has a back that any man would want.
So I just don't buy this stuff.
I think it's funny that they're pointing this out.
You need to be exposed to all these different types of people.
And I remember, like, I grew up homeschooled.
And I remember for some reason, that's a thing people say to homeschoolers is they're like, well, don't your kids need to be exposed to diversity and like gay people?
And it's like, no.
Why would I need my kids to hang out with gay people or kids with two dads?
It's like a weird thing.
It's like, oh, you have to experience gay people in order to be fully formed as like a mature human being.
And I think that people have like gay fatigue right now.
There's a lot of people who are turning away from obviously like the whole PC push that's been going on for the past like decade.
And I think maybe it's he's part of a greater effort to bring that back to force the whole gay thing on everyone.
And like Sarah said, the whole diversity thing overall, because they're just losing people.
People are so sick and tired of it.
Obviously, as it pertains to race, we're so sick and tired of seeing people jump over the border and destroy this country.
And then on top of that, the whole gay issue with like, you know, well, gay pride month is every year, but it's almost every day if you live in a major city.
And so, yeah, people are tired of it.
And I think they're trying to recruit Obama and his ilk to basically try and bring that back, but no one's really falling for it.
Even liberals, they don't want their kids to be exposed to that anymore because it's turning their kids into trannies.
I don't actually, I don't really care, but I just know that they really don't want those people to be offended because they say that they're, you know, oftentimes they're their biggest enemy, that, you know, they have a really high rate of self-inflicted fatality.
You know, so it's like, you can't offend them because then they're going to end their own lives.
That's kind of like a, maybe that's, maybe that shows you that's not a lifestyle that you want to promote.
You know, lifestyles that make people weaker or more susceptible towards, you know, self-harm, these are not healthy for a society.
And it's not about being transphobic or, you know, speaking against the LGBTQ community.
It's trying to promote a strong and a healthy country.
And you don't have a strong and healthy country by doing these things, by being around gay men.
Like, that's like, but it doesn't even make sense.
And however, I just want to point this out real fast.
We have to bring this up.
I'm trying to get through what he, the research he put up, Penny, try to figure out why maybe they're bringing this up now.
And he found a clip actually of Donald Trump explaining that the Epstein files is actually an Obama hoax.
You've got to track with the connection here.
So Obama's creating these hoax just like Russia Gate.
Essentially, they're connecting, saying Epstein files are just like the Russiagate hoax.
So, Bray, I know you're going to jump in there, but like with what you're going to say, can we at least, because on this show, a lot of people will just react and be like, well, what do you think about the Obama stuff?
I want to know the answers.
Why are they bringing this up?
And the truth is, is because they're trying to reinforce this narrative that you don't need to care about the Epstein files because everyone knows on the right, we went through the Russia Gate thing.
We all think it's stupid.
We all knew it was dumb.
And now they're trying to say that basically, if you want the Epstein files, you're just as dumb as Democrats who wanted the Russia files, the dossier, steel dossier.
Remember that whole thing that Hillary Clinton paid to make up?
So it's like, I don't know.
To me, it's again, this is disrespectful.
It's to remind you as well.
Why would I trust Tulsi when Tulsi said several weeks before we bombed Iran that they were not close to getting nuclear weapons?
And then Trump said she was wrong.
And I didn't care what she says.
You know, this administration can't keep its narrative straight.
No, they're just trying to memory hole everything.
They're trying to just bury it on top of more garbage that no one cares about.
I mean, we were talking about it on Wednesday on the show, how tiring it is to just go over the Epstein file thing over and over again.
But at the same time, we know that when we stop talking about it, they get exactly what they want and they can move on to the next thing.
And so this is just another attempt at that.
And while this is, okay, great.
We know it's a hoax and now it's out in the open.
And at least people who were, you know, retarded enough to not know have a little bit of proof.
But if you couldn't tell by now that it wasn't real, is there really hope for you to begin with?
Like, if you went through the past eight years not questioning anything and you just blame, just accepted blindly what the government was telling you, I really don't think you should be allowed to vote.
So I don't really care if this is what really wakes you up.
Like you are at the point where you're either on the right side or not.
Are you on the side of history where the West will be saved or are you on the side of its collapse?
And if you're on the side of its collapse, then I don't care what you have to say.
Trump is now trying to bring up Obama and the Clintons and these people.
And it's like, Trump, you said in 2015 that you were going to jail Hillary Clinton.
Why is she so free?
That never happened.
That was your time.
Your first term was your time to go after the Clintons and all these evil Democrats, you know, these establishment Democrats.
Why didn't that happen?
You didn't keep the promise then.
Now we want you to go after the people involved in the Epstein files, and then you're shifting blame to these people you never ended up being able to throw in jail.
It's like, it's not going to happen now because you weren't even able to do it back then.
So why are you trying to deflect and make us pay attention to the Clintons or the Obamas or whatever?
It's like, I don't care about that.
We just want to lock up the pedophiles.
unidentified
Why not scapegoat the Democrats again, though, if they could get away with blaming it on Obama and that hoax?
Why not just do it to them too?
I mean, to what you're saying, Brayden, it's like, unfortunately, we don't have like an IQ test to be able to vote in this country.
Obviously, before we go any further, I want to remind you guys something very simple.
A quick break from the main topic.
Obviously, you guys have been watching XRP, Bitcoin.
They're making waves.
And these crypto coins, obviously, are skyrocketing.
Some of them are not doing well.
But I've got something I think you'll find pretty compelling, especially if you're tracking how digital assets are reshaping the business strategies that we all know and love.
Now, you've likely heard about companies like MicroStrategy or Tesla adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.
This is part of a Bitcoin treasury strategy where businesses hold crypto as a long-term store of value or hedge against inflation instead of just cash.
It's a significant shift in how companies manage their reserves.
Now, here's where it gets interesting.
Hyper-Bit Technologies trading under HYPE in Canada and HYPAF in the USA is carving out a unique path other than simply buying Bitcoin.
They're mining digital assets like Dogecoin, Litecoin, and others using high-efficiency renewable powered operations.
Now, by generating crypto as their core business, they've built a self-sustaining treasury model.
They're not just speculating.
They're deploying next-gen mining rigs and leveraging low-cost hydroelectric energy to stay profitable and sustainable.
This positions them to hold, reinvest, or even use the crypto to fuel expansion.
For investors, Hyper-Bit offers a way to gain exposure to the crypto market without the hassle of managing wallets, keys, or mining operations.
They mine, buy, and secure digital assets, making them a diversified play in the space.
You'll find out how you can trade one easy stock together and get yourself an investment in a company that can help you to diversify your portfolio.
Now, I would remind you guys, there's a disclaimer in the bio, as trading is, of course, a very risky business and you're never guaranteed success.
And this is not financial advice.
So always trade cautiously.
And I would say even pray before you spend your money because your money belongs to God.
And so do with it what he asks you to do.
Be careful because I've lost a lot of money trading and I've gained a lot of money too.
So it could go either way in life, but they wanted to raise awareness of this new trade that they have to actually mine the crypto.
That being said, going on from the story, it is crazy as we talked about that.
One of the things that we want to throw back here is, you know, we have some throwbacks.
And we'll just move on here to the next topic is this.
So a lot of you guys know Trump also had, I guess, somewhat of a win.
We'll try to find out about this.
As they switch over, DC Drano reported this.
NPR has finally been defunded.
I don't know if we're like excited about this.
I don't know really what we feel here.
Yeah.
Propaganda.
No more tax dollars for nonpartisan media that bashes half the country every single day.
Why the hell should Republican tax dollars pay for media that attacks us?
Donald Trump on Truth Social said this.
The House approves $9 billion cut package, including atrocious NPR and public broadcasting, where billions of dollars a year were wasted.
Republicans have tried doing this for 40 years and failed, but no more.
This is so big.
People were saying that there was so much of the stock that was circumcised.
There was a rabbi nearby trying to put his lips on the cut package.
Yeah, I know.
That makes sense.
No.
Okay, so they circumcise the companies.
Like, we do need to talk about this because I don't like being blackpilled.
I don't like just saying all things are bad.
When you find out that it's not even completely defunding something, but there's $9 billion of your taxpayer money going to fund PBS and NPR.
That's actually crazy.
Because, you know, it's like, why aren't there grants and funding for people like us?
Like, why, why do you want to start a new media company to get the truth?
Why is there not $9 billion available for Americans with independent media companies to get their truth out?
Why don't you just make that available to the American public?
It's like, well, we're going to save the money.
Yeah, but at the same time, what if the way that you did public broadcasting is you opened up grants to the public to broadcast?
Isn't that crazy?
What if the public was allowed to broadcast?
I think that's kind of a smart thing.
But instead, like I said, I'm not brown enough.
I'm not poor enough and I'm not a woman to really qualify for any government money, unfortunately.
And then all the liberals are mad about it, but this money could be used for, you know, oh, the health care that they want so badly.
They're like, we have so much money for government health care, which is, you know, a dumb idea to begin with.
But like you said, you could fund podcasts.
You could fund public, you know, things for people as opposed to giving up to these government funded institutions like NPR and PBS.
And I mean, what were they even good for?
Because I didn't even think they were going to be able to do this.
unidentified
I will say the one thing they were kind of good for growing up, and I'll date myself on this, is Kids Corner in Philadelphia, WXPN, and it was Kathy O'Connell.
But man, I just remember going on there.
Like, this was before social media and all.
And you could call in and like give like a book report.
The House has approved a Trump administration plan to rescind $9 billion in previously allocated funds, including $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a move that cuts all federal support for NPR, PBS, and their member stations at about $7 billion in foreign aid.
The vote, 216 to 213, included all but two Republicans in favor of the cuts.
The bill goes next to President Trump for his signature.
Immediately after the vote, NPR CEO Catherine Mayer, who we'll talk about more, issued a statement calling the cut an irreversible loss to the public radio system.
She said the effect would be an unwarranted dismantling of beloved local civic institutions and an act of Congress that disregards the public will, to which critics said, public radio system, people are still listening to the radio.
No, they didn't say that.
It's just like, that's crazy.
I mean, billions of dollars to create radio shows.
I think the fact that they don't even know that people listen to podcasts now, although NPR does have a lot of really good podcasts, they're well produced.
Unlike the show, meaning like they actually have like millions of dollars.
No, and I'm serious.
Like they, they, like, this show's low, low budget, and they have like millions and millions and millions of dollars.
Now I'm finding out it's billions of dollars.
And when we talk a little bit about what they've been producing over the years, you'll kind of find out why it's good they're defunded.
But then again, dude, you know, they say, right?
Hard times create strong men.
And maybe Elmo was hacked for the first time.
But I'm thinking things are going to get tough over at Sesame Street and Elmo might become further right wing to restore, to restore order.
You know what I mean?
The grouch has got a serious chemical addiction.
Plus, you have the cookie monster.
He's got schizophrenia.
So it looks a little more like LA today than it ever did before.
I think the crazy thing, though, about funding media branches like NPR is it's not just that our taxes have to fund these media organizations that are spouting lies about us, but it's also that that means the media is basically beholden to the government.
And they're not going to be able to criticize the government that's currently in power, right?
You know, the media, NPR isn't going to be able to go after Epstein or, you know, say, oh, release the files.
Why haven't you guys released the files?
How are they able to do that if that's who's giving them money?
Right.
So it just creates this conflict of interest.
So I think it's good.
I don't think the government should be funding any media outlets.
I know in Canada, all of the major media outlets receive billions of dollars from the government and they literally wouldn't be able to stay afloat if it weren't for Australia too.
Well, I was going to say, real fast, I want to play this because I know that the government, United States government is defunding NPR, but not all radio and TV stations are being defunded from their government sponsorship.
Looking at the history of NPR, remember, this is an institution that deliberately chose not to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story because in their own words, it was nothing but a distraction.
What did they do instead?
They ran articles about genderqueer dinosaurs, about how civility is racist, and about fat phobia.
I don't think that that serves the public interest for the American people.
I don't think that these institutions should exist to begin with at all.
And I certainly don't think that hardworking tax dollars should go to pay for them.
So we're finally going to defund them tonight and get this done.
We're going to get a bill to the president's desk.
Brandon's trying his best, and I'm going to say that.
And I'm going to take the wins where I can have it.
Like, you know, he didn't take a lot of money from AIPAC.
I don't think it's good that he took money from AIPAC.
I think you got to call him out for that.
You know, I don't know if we've been even proven that, but to be, he's the only person I know that's speaking out against legal immigration in the government at the very least.
I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.
Our reverence for the truth might be getting in the way of us getting things done.
And so that is exactly why I'll bring these up before we discuss.
That is why, if you read their headlines, I just want to read a few headlines here.
One of their, some of their headlines, remember this?
A few.
It's some white people may choose thumbs up because it feels neutral, but some academics argue opting out of the white thumbs up emoji signals a lack of awareness about white privilege, akin to society associating with whiteness and being racist.
They wrote an article about which color emojis you should use.
They also had an Elmo character also appeared on CNN 2020 to explain racism.
Elmo also told kids to get the clot shot.
That was the true.
I remember that one.
He said, it's being a good citizen.
Oh, hey, Elmo.
Okay, anyway.
PBS Washington Week, Memory Holes 2023, praise of Biden's mental acuity.
You've also seen, where is this?
I want to read the other one.
Oh, yeah.
What queer ducks can teach teenagers about sexuality in the animal kingdom?
This is not a joke.
These are real titles here.
I also had fat phobia and its racist past and present.
And they also put a black girl on screen.
That's not what it was.
And they said, can you be too woke?
Get a segment on not being woke enough.
So, you know, in retrospect, if we take that off, my favorite, favorite, favorite one, I'm going to see if I can open up both of these here.
Is their tweets.
If you ever go to their Twitter, they have some really epic tweets that were out there.
Like, how about this one?
A new poll, 40% of respondents believe in a baseless conspiracy theory that the C-19 was created in a lab in China.
There is zero evidence for this.
Scientists say that it was transmitted to humans from another species.
On top of that, they also said this, breaking Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed a run for president again in 2024.
I think that's the tweet that put the nail in the coffin.
It was like, okay, buddy.
I don't know if they really didn't think he was going to win.
And then now he defunded them.
Do you know they pay a lot?
Like, I have a friend who works there.
And like, their hosts get like, you know, $250,000, $300,000 or more dollars for just like hosting a small podcast.
Some people get paid like $400,000 or $500,000 for really arbitrary radio spots.
When parents see Republicans just axe educational programming, when people see Republicans just act Sesame Street to pay for tax cuts to billionaires, when rural Americans see Republicans not just betrayed them and defunded public radio, sometimes the only source in rural areas so vital to natural disasters, and it's the only news source there.
Look what he thinks about Middle America, that all they have is like a little AM radio to get the weather reports.
Like, dude, everyone's got an eye.
Everyone's got a phone.
unidentified
It's either that or they have these like gigantic like antenna towers in their backyard, like total, total, you know, like geoengineering types, you know, like all about the weather cloud seating.
Wait, are you going to tell me next that gas doesn't stay in wooden doors?
Because I'm hearing this for the first time.
I feel like Trump when he's like, RBG died.
He's like, wow.
Hearing this for the first time.
We got to get new material.
We got to get new material, folks.
I love it.
It's like when people just find out about the Holocaust.
It's like, have you heard this joke and you're like, dude, please, I if Hermes White guy asked me on the street last night in Fort Lauderdale the same question.

I want to get into this.
So check this out.
AF Post reports.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, threatened to publicly accuse Israel of discriminating against Christian groups.
So what the controversy here is, and this is going to be shocking to you guys, but apparently Israel was denying visas to Christian groups, trying to avoid groups who were promoting Jesus Christ, which is kind of crazy.
They're pointing to a deliberate pattern of denying tourist visas to evangelical missionaries.
Interior minister Moshe Arbell privately responded to Mike Huckabee's observation by denying the discrimination and criticizing him for deviating from quote working norms and not acting in mutual trust with the Jewish state.
Mike Huckabee, who, by the way, you know, was pro-Israel.
He's an evangelical Christian.
He might be Baptist.
And he finds out that Israel is denying Christian missionaries their tourist visas because they didn't want them to proselytize Jewish people.
So you go, wait a second, are you wait, what?
You're telling me that they don't like Christians coming to their country?
I was told the opposite at a turning point conference recently.
Ian Carroll explains why Christians are duped, though.
A lot of Christians are duped.
I don't want to bring this up.
You know, a lot of Christians are duped to think that the modern nation state of Israel is God's chosen people, that the promise to Jesus Christ is actually to them.
And that's a very sad mockery of the cross of Christ.
Because if those who believe on Jesus Christ are not just not only saved, but if you're not his chosen, if you're not his beloved, and it's those people that mock Jesus, then what is the power of the cross?
I want to think about that.
What is the power of the cross?
What is the power of Jesus' death and resurrection if joining in into one body, into one church, if somehow there's somebody that's ethnically better than you?
Now, these are the same people who want to remind you that white supremacy is horrible, that white ethno-states are bad, that white people win their own country is horrible, and that Christians shouldn't be nationalists.
We shouldn't have Christian nationalism.
We'll talk about how there should be an ethno-religious state called Israel today, and those are God's people.
In the early 1900s, right around when the Federal Reserve was founded and the Balfour Declaration happened, right at that exact same time, the Rothschild family hired this dude, this pastor in the deep south.
He made a new version of the Bible called the Schofield Bible.
He wrote this new Bible that has all these new interpretations of the text.
So they need change.
Jewish influence.
Yes.
Literally.
That's where Judeo-Christianity kind of came from.
And the idea that Israel is this modern Israel thing is the Israel of the Bible.
It came from that Bible.
And the Schofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family.
And then it was pushed because they owned the publisher that publishes like all the books.
I think it was Oxford Press.
And so they had the deals that they could make to get that Bible into all the megachurches across whole denominations of Christianity.
And so that was when Christianity got kind of Jewified.
It said, according to Schofield, the money to write, edit his annotated Bible came from Alan Ball and John T. Peary, wealthy men from New York, both members of the Plymouth Brethren Dispensationalist group, along with Arno Gabilene, who introduced them to Schofield.
So that doesn't really help me.
It's my name Gabeline.
There's a friend Bernstein helping him out on this one, too.
I do think that, you know, we obviously talk about this a lot.
If you're new here, you may not know this, but there is a modern cult within Christianity that seeks to dethrone Christ and undermine the work of the cross by worshiping certain people based on their ethnic and religious background, thinking that they are somehow, that God's promise was by blood only and that God and Jesus didn't come to fulfill the promise through Abraham.
He didn't come to fulfill it.
So, the promise is still to them and not to us, which essentially agrees with their version of the events that the Messiah is still yet to come.
And essentially, this is an antichrist doctrine because this opens you up to thinking that maybe, you know, if they're still the chosen people and the Messiah hasn't come, then he's still coming.
And who's going to claim to be the Messiah after Jesus?
Well, the Antichrist.
And so, a lot of these people are actually leading the way for the Antichrist, which is why you've seen his evangelicalism has taken over.
Dispensationalism has taken over the church in the last 75 years, especially through Calvary Chapel.
You've seen the denigration of American morality and society because we worship a false God.
We're not worshiping Jesus.
We're worshiping Jews.
And Jew worship is satanic, just like worshiping any humans is satanic.
You worship nobody but God.
And so I just think it's very important that we realize it's very easy to be deceived, very easy to be misled.
And it's very important that we remind Christians to worship Jesus and to believe in the power of the cross.
I just want to say that.
And there's nothing controversial about that.
Believe in the cross, that the work was finished at the cross and the resurrection.
That is the finished work of God.
And that you believe on that and you will be saved.
And that's very important to just like at the very basic, very basic mentality of salvation.
Of course, you want to be a part of his church.
You need to make sure that there are things that you do to profess your faith, to confirm your faith in time.
But if you can't accept that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, there's no way to the Father but through him, and you think that the way to God is that there's someone more special than you because they were born into it, you, my friend, are not a Christian.
I was going to say, that's, I think, three of the four people sitting at this table would agree that there was a purpose between Jesus founding the church and that continuation through today.
And obviously, the unfortunate kind of degeneration of the Reformation really has led us here.
Hennessy, I have a video because you were just talking about when you're worshiping someone based on their birthright.
Okay, the Lord of the Rings was written by a Catholic.
He didn't believe that.
I mean, here's the thing.
Like, it doesn't really make sense.
So, this whole thing when people say, oh, well, Jews are God's chosen people because in the Old Testament, chosen for what?
Let's talk about chosen for what?
They were chosen to bring about the Messiah from that lineage.
And he came and it's been fulfilled now.
So at this point, it's like, you don't get a free ticket to heaven because you have a certain ethnicity, right?
It's like, no, Jews.
And the problem with this dispensationalist theology is the fact that now people, there's evangelical Christians who think that they don't need to evangelize to Jews because they can go to heaven because they have some other secret path because of their bloodline.
So that's a big issue.
And that's what we're talking about right now with Israel not wanting people to evangelize to Jews.
It's like we should be evangelizing to them.
And it's been like this like touchy subject with Christians where we don't want to evangelize to them because it's like, oh, well, they have their own little path to heaven.
Like, no, that doesn't make any sense.
That's like, these are the same people calling us racists for it, you know, noticing patterns and stuff.
And it's like, dude, you think you get to go to free ticket to heaven because you're a certain race, even if you reject Christ.
That's not true.
We should be evangelizing to them.
We should be.
converting people who believe in Judaism because it's obviously wrong.
They need to accept the Messiah.
Doesn't mean, you know, they're bad people or anything like that.
It just means we should be evangelizing them.
And this heresy has been stopping Christians from doing this for like 100 years.
And it's really damaging.
It's not good for the Jews either because they should be becoming Christian.
Someone literally in the chat said Nat Sox Sorbo when?
Anyway, that's just like, it's actually good.
I don't know.
You're going to weigh in on that here.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
I was going to say, well, when y'all came with me last Sunday to Mass, I mean, if you go to Good Friday Mass in the Latin Rite, they just have in the Missal just prayers straight up for Jewish conversion.
So it's like, it's not a secret.
And yeah, it's not the same Israel in the Bible that exists today.
What are your thoughts on when people say things like, oh, well, the church was infiltrated and the church had this and that kind of like that, that objection to the Catholic Church that it's now run by a sect of people?
But infiltration to the point of doctrinally changing things or infiltration to the point of some bad people got in charge, but not enough to change the dogmas of the church.
I think is the difference that a lot of people would have is where, you know, you and I could say, oh, well, maybe there has been some infiltration and some people got in that were a little bit high.
Like you have the bishop or the cardinal up in Oregon who's not a great guy.
Like, but that's what I'm saying, but I'm saying anything from changing the doctrine of the church because Francis didn't make any dogmatic papal declarations, right?
So he could have done some things that maybe changed a little bit, but I'm saying in terms of infiltration, I would consider infiltration something that rocked the church to the core that fundamentally changed something.
And that's not what has happened because obviously that was he can't be so black and white in the church.
But I'm saying because the church was promised to never falter, isn't it logical to reason that even if there is infiltration, even if there is bad people within the church, just like there was Judas part of the 12 apostles, we have that assurance that nothing will fundamentally be shaken to the point where the doctrine is changed because that would invalidate all of Christianity.
Well, the doctrine has been changed universally, but they've changed it back.
That's what not being shaken is like corruption comes and seeps in, but for the most part, reformers, and I don't mean necessarily Protestant reformers, have done a very, very good job by the power of God about taking away some of the heresies that do pop up from time to time.
I mean, even Catholicism has, I mean, I'm talking about with Anglicanism even, you know, being nationalized, right?
With the state, with the queen, it is an interesting, you know, idea of things being nationalized.
I mean, the Catholic Church being nationalized with the Roman Empire, you do have corruptions that come in, especially when you will see, you know, like, should, should the church have been by the sword, you know, requiring people to convert or die.
Like, that's not necessarily something I think the Bible teaches or preaches.
That is a nationalistic idea that some people agree with.
But to this day, I mean, does the Catholic Church requiring you to be killed if you don't join the church?
No, I don't think they should be requiring people to die.
I don't think that non-Christian people should be invited into our country.
It's a whole other question.
I don't think, you know, Islamic countries should be openly invited to immigrate here, et cetera.
But I do believe that the heresies that do creep in have, some of them have stayed.
And I do believe that there is a work of the devil in every institution to kill, still, and destroy.
That's what he says.
He's the author of confusion, right?
He's the father of lies.
These are all biblical annotations that explain who he is.
And so what I also think is important too is that, you know, the devil is beautiful, you know, like he's an angel of light, or at least can give the appearance.
I think in his heart, he's of darkness.
But the devil was Lucifer himself, if we want to give him his name, you know, he's not omniscient.
He's not omnipotent.
And he's definitely, definitely not God.
And he comes down and he really, the key thing is, is he wants to get people not necessarily, they don't have to deny God.
They have to just follow and worship something else.
Right.
And so I think a lot of people in the church, you know, he pulls them aside with like narcissism, power, money, and people end up using those as motivations and they end up drawing people aside.
And Paul even warned about that in the in, I don't know how to pronounce the name because they're like Greek names in the New Testament.
And I'm really bad with pronunciations, but he has a few names in there.
We talked about, you know, some of these people were among us, but like they're teaching a false doctrine, not of us.
They were never of us.
And that's the key phrase there.
It's like they actually, even though they left, they were never of us.
So these heresies, it's like technically they were a part of the church, but they actually never were, is my point.
Like they come and go and then God gives the power to strength and gives men boldness to remove them.
They fight, they destroy and remove them and they bring it back to a purity.
That's why I even think that the Protestant reformers had really good intentions.
And I don't think some of them even wanted to leave the Catholic Church.
I think there was a lot of political issues there.
I think the truth of the matter is, is that is the papacy corrupt?
I mean, well, I mean, the Orthodox believe that the Protestants believe that.
I guess the Catholics may, some of them believe that I speak to, but I mean, I guess only God knows.
So the Catholic view of what you're saying is that the catechism is not corrupt.
The catechism is true.
The church dogma is true.
But popes can say things that are wrong when they're not speaking with papal infallibility, right?
So not everything they say is church dogma.
They can say whatever.
And most of the times they don't really speak with that.
So people get, I think people who are Catholic, and I was Protestant before, so I got that confused.
I thought that everything that a pope said or that a priest said meant that it's church dogma.
That's not the case.
There's very, it takes a lot for something to become church dogma.
And if you are a Catholic, then you believe that the church dogma is infallible, right?
Because you believe that the Catholic Church is the true church.
unidentified
One of the reasons I like coming on these shows, too, is because arguably a lot of podcasters these days have larger audiences than priests themselves.
So you want to take in like who your audience is and whether they even take the time to look into the catechism or look into the church, what the doctrine is, what the dogma is in the first place.
Or if they're just like ripping on like today's today's news or tomorrow's news or what the pope said and what this group of people are saying.
So I don't know.
I don't think, let's see, when was the last time the dogma was actually changed?
But like, so that's my point is infiltration, bad people within the church, but without actually changing fundamental doctrines within the church doesn't negate its power.
And so it's like, okay, yeah, you can truthfully listen to him, but he's objectively wrong, going against what the catechism teaches.
I think we all can universally agree here before we switch the topics here that there is only one true church and it is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
If you wake up in the morning and decide that your Christian faith requires you to support a foreign government blowing up churches and killing Christians, I think you've lost the thread.
Just to end on this, if you had a message for Christian leaders in the United States, whether in government or in churches or just citizens who care about the religion and their fellow Christians, what would it be?
It would be to remind them that when the state of Israel was created, it was not created on an empty land.
It was created on a land that had millions of indigenous Palestinians there, including Palestinian Christians.
And that that state they support, that state they celebrated as a fulfillment of prophecy and a sign of God's fate to the Jewish people for it to become a state.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, including Palestinian Christians, were forced to leave and have never returned.
Churches were closed.
A friend of mine did a research and counted more than 30 churches that were closed when Israel was created because Palestinians were expelled from the land.
Our numbers continue to be in decline.
So we're pleading that come and listen, come and talk to us.
And my message to Christian leaders right now is there is a very, very brutal war taking place in Ghaza, a war that I've described using the word genocide.
because it's a war that has used even starvation as a meme.
And fellow Christians are suffering because of that war.
It's time that Christian leaders recognize that wars is not the way, whether in Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya.
I mean, when will we learn that war does not help?
When will we take Jesus' words seriously about being peacemakers, about being merciful?
There must be other ways.
And so it would be an invitation to listen, to learn more, and to avoid very shallow and simplistic perspectives that are not based on scripture itself, but more based on political equations.
And I would plea right now, and I will continue to plea that we need to stop this war in Ghanza.
It's killing many, many children, women, innocent lives.
It has to stop.
There must be other ways.
And as a follower of Christ, we have to pursue the path of peace and justice.
And we have to avoid simplistic ponorizations, good and evil.
Come and listen, come and understand what's happening.
And I plead as a Christian pastor from Bethlehem, I plead that you come and listen.
Yeah, you know, we're just laughing a little bit how like priests are always a little bit chunky, but I but I do know that.
I mean, and look, and I get, because I kind of want to remind people, like, the people giving off the appearance that like they're got it all together.
It's just a total lie.
Like, and I'm, and I've been around long enough.
The people that I know that have tried to give off the appearance of being the holier than thou's always have the biggest secrets.
It's really, really, really.
Like, there are people who are actually pretty holy, but they don't give off the vibe.
Like, they'll be humble about it.
So you can be holy, but if, but holiness must be paired with humility, right?
And I think that's like the key thing.
So like there are, there are people that I know that know the most about Christianity and God are typically the most humble about it.
Like, and people that come across like they know more.
As I went to seminar, I went to school and there's, there was always those kids that would like debate you on everything.
Like you'd just be like, you know, I'm going to pray.
And then like you say something really simple and be like, that's not how you pray.
They all say, oh, we're all part of the body of Christ.
They're all basically liberals with it because that's the whole point of being a Protestant is that you're liberal with it.
And you say, as long as you get baptized or as long as you, quote unquote, accept Jesus into your heart, whatever that means, you're part of the body of Christ.
Okay, so you're talking about the Lutheran church, but that's not the Protestant church because they argue with the rest of the Protestant denominations.
Wait, you think all Catholic churches are the exact same?
I've met multiple Catholics who believe very different things.
There's Roman Catholics, there's Reformed Catholics.
So are they not Catholics?
It's like, I know Catholics that think the Catholics that play music are going to hell, that you can't play instruments, it's a defilement of the altar.
Because the Catholic Church is an institution, we have a pope, we have bishops, like we have that don't believe that the current pope is the actual apostolic succession, they need a different pope.
Yeah, so that's called set, yeah, that's called set of the cantis, and they're actually not part of the Catholic Church, so they're not Catholics.
I'm like, I'm not, I'm not a big, I'm not a big, I'm not a Catholic.
You're asking me these foundational principles.
I probably would disagree with you on pretty much everything.
So if you're asking me if even if he had brothers, yeah, of course I believe that.
But it's like, you're asking me these, like, I'm not a Catholic.
Like, it's like you're asking, it's like you're asking a Mormon if they believe in Joseph Smith.
It's like, yeah, they do.
unidentified
Again, though, like what we were saying earlier, though, for real, though, it's like we could argue back and forth about this, but at the end of the day, it's like, like, who's the audience here?
You know, like, what's the best way to go?
And that's what Brayden was saying.
It's just like, go to the gym, read the Bible, live it out in your life.
There's all this theory, and then there's application.
You know, you want to be receiving the sacraments, sure.
You want to be striving to live towards a family, an ordered life, a moral life.
You want good formation.
You want to go have cigars with the guys or whatever and become theologically sound and apply it in your life.
We are unworthy of heaven, and there is a specific grace that's allotted to us upon baptism, confirmation, and then the other four sacraments or six sacraments.
And so because of the seven total sacraments, the grace that we receive will produce good works, good fruit.
The fig tree dried up and died.
That is the official Catholic perspective, as far as I'm aware.
You can correct me if I'm wrong.
But to your point, I will say the Protestant idea is, and what you're saying, where it doesn't have an official dogma or doctrine.
I get it.
I do.
And also, but it's not a good way to evangelize it.
And also, I just want to remind you as to all the Protestants, when you guys had that thesis and decided to reform your church and you did the sola scriptura, solo fide, right?
When you made your dogma that now you teach at all your Protestant churches, when you learn the dogma of Protestantism, the book that you read when you're in seminary that we go through, and it is our universal dogma.
You're not considered Protestant.
You're considered a cult if you don't agree to the tenets of when you leave.
You were fucking lied to.
And if you don't become a Catholic, it's not because what's the dog it's called, by the way.
It's literally the Reformation dogma.
That's what it is.
The Reformation.
That's what we call it.
It's the Reformation.
We learn about our history.
And when we broke away, we broke away under these three tenets.
I'm going to leave it on that and say that it was all a lie.
It never happened.
No one ever wrote it.
You made it up like the Epstein files.
I appreciate you.
But to those of you, to those of you, to those of you that are listening, I've been completely honest on that.
It never happened.
But remember, if you're ever arguing with a woman, she is right and you're wrong.
