| Trying to hold on, but you can't Welcome to another Just Informed talk radio show. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James. | |
| Hope you guys are having a wonderful, wonderful day. | |
| And boy, oh boy, it is getting pretty interesting over in the Trump administration as it continues to get put together. | |
| We're looking at all these different picks coming in. | |
| We talked about a few of them yesterday. | |
| There have been a few more since. | |
| Some are still speculative. | |
| Others have been officially announced. | |
| We'll talk about a few big ones that came down yesterday. | |
| Now, in yesterday's show, we talked about the possibility of Kash Patel being named as director of the CIA. | |
| And it was a possibility, but it was announced yesterday that Donald Trump will be tapping John Ratcliffe to join the Trump administration as the director of the CIA. | |
| And we're still waiting to hear about the outcome of this leadership election in the Senate. | |
| This is going to be a big one because it's going to determine whether or not Trump will be able to get a lot of these appointments through. | |
| And it will also be determinative of whether or not Trump will be able to have his administration govern effectively without being encumbered by a captured rhino Senate. | |
| So we'll see how that all plays out. | |
| A lot of people are, you know, I would say it's interesting when I go to like social media and check the news and kind of go through what's happening. | |
| It's about half and half with people who are happy about these picks Trump's making and people who are unhappy. | |
| With the picks Trump's making. | |
| And I can understand all the sides to it. | |
| In some ways, I'm not sure I understand. | |
| People are obsessed with certain things, and they get... | |
| I think they let certain things bother them to a point where it almost becomes... | |
| Impossible for them to see any good, right? | |
| They have so much paranoia about who these people are really representing and whether or not they're a deep state or if they're working for some foreign national entity or interest that is infiltrating our government and is Trump working with that foreign national interest against the betterment of the American people? | |
| I guess I'm just saying that I feel like I'm one of the few people who sees good and bad in all of these picks. | |
| There are people who are working within a system that is very much broken. | |
| Those people have experience that is valuable. | |
| That is why I think Trump taps these people. | |
| Those people, as with everyone, have good qualities and bad qualities. | |
| I just think that a lot of people, it seems, are either wildly optimistic about everything that they're seeing happening here, or they're almost in an unhinged black pill of negativity and pessimism, saying that all hope is lost, Trump's Failed us and, you know, he's converted to representing the Israeli lobby over America. | |
| And I think there is a middle ground to it all, if you're asking me, on a personal level. | |
| I mean, I've been following this stuff for quite some time now and I've seen both sides of the argument. | |
| And I understand people's concerns about foreign lobbies that have come into our government and have You know, exuded a huge amount of influence and power that seems to be still pervasive to this day, even with Trump coming into power. | |
| However, I would just say that in the entirety of it all, like, when you look at it from a top-down perspective, there are good things and there are bad things and there are people who have all of these different Qualities, which we have to look at almost on an individual basis to say, you know, I like this, but I don't like that. | |
| Instead of just saying, oh, well, this person, you know, said that they, you know, favored Israel, so therefore they are, you know, anti-American. | |
| And I just don't see it so black and white. | |
| But, you know, you got to remember, too, a lot of these people... | |
| You know, and the people I'm talking about are like not just random people. | |
| These are, you know, high-level influencers, people who have been political pundits for quite some time. | |
| I mean, they've built entire brands out of kind of, I don't want to say fear-mongering, but... | |
| There has to be controversy, right? | |
| Because that's what gets clicks. | |
| That's what gets attention. | |
| That's what gets, you know, people's eyeballs. | |
| And this is why it, what sells, I mean, imagine you've spent the last however many years pointing out all of the things you see wrong with, you know, government or politics or whatever it is. | |
| And, you know, when something good happens, you may have a natural tendency to see the negative in it. | |
| And I'm guilty of this as well because of the nature of this business that we're in where we cover politics. | |
| So we have to cover, you know, we try to focus on the things that we don't like because we want to change them. | |
| And in doing so, sometimes you can get completely consumed by that, you know, desire to want to, you know, fixate on that which is bad that you hate that you want to change or that you dislike. | |
| And you have to work to keep yourself from going there. | |
| I have to do it with myself a lot, very often. | |
| And I just see some people who have just gone so far off of one end of the spectrum or another that, to me, it's instantly... | |
| You know, it's not persuasive to me. | |
| Maybe it's persuasive to others out there who have followed them down that path of, you know, complete, you know, ultimate pessimism, blackpilling, as they say. | |
| I just don't want to do it. | |
| And this is why I do focus on the gospel here in this show. | |
| A lot of people will say, you know, why do you talk about religion? | |
| You should just stick to politics. | |
| A, because I've been saved and it's incumbent upon me as someone who's been saved to tell others about the gospel of Jesus Christ, which I believe in with all my heart. | |
| But B, I mean, what's life without hope? | |
| You know? | |
| And it's really sad and miserable and depressing. | |
| And I just don't think that's what I want to bring to people every day. | |
| Now, of course, when things are bad, it can seem like that's all we talk about because things are bad. | |
| And, you know, perhaps with what's happening now, People have spent the last four years focusing on negatives because there haven't been a lot of positives to look at and now that they have a positive, all they can see is the negative in it. | |
| And that's kind of what I'm perceiving with the way people are talking, with the way some people are talking about these picks Trump has made for his cabinet. | |
| But maybe I'm wrong. | |
| Maybe I'm naive. | |
| I don't think I am, but I'm humble enough to know that I don't know everything. | |
| But we'll talk about these picks because I think... | |
| There are really good things that we can take out of who Trump's picking and what they bring to the table. | |
| So we'll get to that when we come back. | |

| I'm your host, Craig James. | |
| And I really want to say that everything I kind of described in the first portion of this is giving kind of context to what we're going to talk about here, these picks in Trump's administration that have been flying in, as it were. | |
| And I want to make sure people understand that I'm not oblivious to the criticisms That are being foist upon those who are being selected to run parts of Donald Trump's administration as of, you know, the recording of this at least. | |
| That people are very concerned. | |
| Some, not all. | |
| Some are very concerned about the influence Israeli lobbyists have over certain individuals who are being tapped for certain positions. | |
| And even though I'm not as concerned about those things as maybe others are, I understand why people get concerned. | |
| Now, Now, do I think Israel has many flaws and many things about Israel I don't like in how they run their government? | |
| Yeah, I think that's 100% true. | |
| But do I think that, you know, as some people seem to describe it, Israel is some existential force for evil? | |
| I don't believe that remotely. | |
| I mean, I don't even think that's remotely close to the truth. | |
| It would be, in my opinion, now, I'm not... | |
| You know, an expert in this by any means, so take it with a grain of salt. | |
| I mean, I've studied this for a while, but this is just my, you know, opinion. | |
| This is my, you know, the opinion that I've built over years, is simply, I look at Israel the same way I look at America. | |
| There are bad people who get in positions of power and do bad things. | |
| Those people should be categorically condemned. | |
| There are factions of crime that exist inside of all major governments. | |
| Looking at ours in particular, we know we have what we call the deep state. | |
| They have similar things in other countries like Israel. | |
| Then you have actual criminal syndicates that are run, you know, in the same way we had the Italian mafia and then we still do to a degree here in the United States. | |
| There's also, you know, sort of mafia type syndicates and from all different kind of little sects, including Israel, the Jewish mafia or whatever you want to call it. | |
| So I see that there are criminals that are evil people and a lot of the conflating with, you know, that and a broader segment of people I think is not productive. that and a broader segment of people I think is helpful, or being honest intellectually, right? | |
| You can point to things that have been done in the past. | |
| You can Use those as an excuse to never trust or work with anyone again of any type because you've categorically, broadly condemned them. | |
| But then are we no different than the left who, for instance, will say that all white people are evil because of the color of their skin and because of the fact that some of their ancestors may have had slaves. | |
| Now, I know there are people out there who will... | |
| Absolutely disagree with me and will try to cite, you know, all these different instances that they can point to, but I think for everything that can be pointed to negatively, you can find things that are positive and you can use a more, I think, just middle ground approach to understanding all of this. | |
| So I want to put that out there first because this has been what I've observed as the highest criticism, the most prevalent criticism of the things Trump is doing right now are almost entirely from what I see and perceive related to Israeli influence in his cabinet picks and his administrative picks. | |
| And there are, I believe, Negative and positive things to look at in there. | |
| That's just my opinion. | |
| I'm not telling you what to think. | |
| And I would encourage you to do your own research and believe what you would like with regard to this issue or topic because it is very controversial. | |
| But I'm not going to sit back and say everything Israel does is good and they have never made a mistake and they've never done anything evil. | |
| But I'm also not going to say that everything they do is evil and just say everything that, if it's related to Israel, it's bad. | |
| Because I just don't think that's a fair way of interpreting or analyzing a situation. | |
| Now, with that being said, that's kind of my whole spiel on it. | |
| I don't really have much more to contribute on that front other than we will judge these people by their actions, by, you know, what they do. | |
| We'll judge the tree by its fruit, as it were, and we'll see. | |
| We'll see. | |
| A lot of people are very concerned that... | |
| You know, some of Trump's picks are going to be highly in favor of doing the war with Iran, which has been sort of being planned for a long time, it seems. | |
| Although, that would be a tough war considering, you know, Iran's top allies seem to be at the moment Russia and China. | |
| I'm not sure we are ready or willing to go into a full conflict with. | |
| Now, are Russia and China ready and willing to step in and escalate a conflict that... | |
| Is between the United States and Iran so that they can intervene and start a larger, broader war? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I mean, I think here's the thing. | |
| It's foolish for us to think that there will never be a great world war. | |
| It's foolish for us to think that what happened in In and throughout history, with these broader global conflicts, these larger wars of what the known world has been, that those things are never going to happen again. | |
| So I would say, you know, war of that scale and magnitude is inevitable. | |
| Now, the question then becomes, will it happen in our lifetime, or will it happen in our kids' lifetime, or our kids' kids' lifetime? | |
| I don't know. | |
| Only God knows the timing, right? | |
| I can't speak to that. | |
| But I can tell you this, that with any luck, you know, we will be spared that sort of chaotic future. | |
| Now, That's just my take on the whole situation. | |
| That's how I've perceived it. | |
| And this is why I get a little bit... | |
| What is it? | |
| Peeved? | |
| Annoyed? | |
| With people who are so fatalistic, right? | |
| I appreciate optimism. | |
| I appreciate pessimism when necessary to a degree. | |
| Realism, pragmatism, you know, understanding things as they are and not how you wish they would be. | |
| I think that's a very, you know... | |
| It's a great thing to have in your tool belt as far as perceiving the world around you, but I do get a little bit, you know, as I said, annoyed when I see people who just get on here and like, it's all lost. | |
| All hope is lost. | |
| Trump chose this guy and this guy said he likes Israel. | |
| And, you know, this person said this about Israel and therefore they're, you know, you can throw out everything else they've ever done in their life or their career because that means they're owned and controlled by Israel. | |
| That kind of thinking to me It serves no purpose, and we can notice things that are, and observe and talk about things that we don't like on an individual topic base. | |
| Like, we can say, we don't like this policy that Israel has. | |
| But a lot of people just say, everything that Israel touches is bad. | |
| And it leads to bad things. | |
| Which, obviously, I don't believe is true. | |
| So, That's kind of my whole rundown of it all. | |
| And if you guys want to tell me what you think about the topic, 877-536-1360 is the number. | |
| You can text in and let me know. | |
| I mean, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. | |
| More overly, because I think I've taken... | |
| The more middle ground approach to it where I'm tired after a decade of doing this and having to work on this in myself, I'm tired of immediately either attributing the best or the worst case scenario to a situation that I'm presented, right? | |
| To a scenario I'm given. | |
| I think as I've seen it over time and what I've observed, As I've studied politics on a daily basis for many years, things usually happen in a way where you get a little bit of the good, a little bit of the bad, and it's never usually as bad as it sounds, right? | |
| Although I put my hand up and I am guilty of in some ways sometimes being a little fatalistic in how I view things because sometimes it feels like that's the weight. | |
| The weight of the situation is that which I believe is serious enough to be that way. | |
| So, I guess that's enough of me talking about my opinion. | |
| Let's talk about Trump's picks, because they are interesting. | |
| Of course, we know from yesterday's show that some of his top picks are Susie Wiles, who was chosen to be his chief of staff. | |
| Now, there were some early reports that Susie Wiles had some connections to Big Pharma or something, and that that was a reason. | |
| But then I saw Roger Stone came out and kind of dispelled that and said that she's never really worked, or she's never been a part of Big Pharma. | |
| So I'm not sure there are much other criticisms against her in that regard. | |
| She is one of the masterminds, really, behind Trump's campaign and his victory. | |
| She's the one he called up on stage and asked to speak, and she wouldn't talk because she seems pretty modest and didn't really want the spotlight. | |
| So we'll see how she does. | |
| That's the chief of staff. | |
| You have Elise Stefanik being called in as the U.S. Ambassador to the UN. So, you know, a lot of people say she's a very pro-Israel, you know, congressperson who's now being tapped for this position, but in all reality... | |
| I mean, the ambassador to the UN is not going to have much of an effect on anything, right? | |
| The UN is sort of a... | |
| At this point, thankfully, it's still a toothless kind of, you know, global society. | |
| It's... | |
| It's like, I mean, it really is like, you know, the equivalent of a model UN, you know, albeit that they are the same in structure, at least similar. | |
| It is like that. | |
| It's not really, it's not consequential to the degree that some other positions may be. | |
| She'll be there arguing with other nations about, you know, sort of I don't want to say inconsequential matters, but things that aren't going to have an effect on us as directly, if you know what I mean, if that makes sense. | |
| So we'll see how she does. | |
| Another interesting pick was the administrator of the EPA who was chosen, and that's going to be Lee Zeldin. | |
| Now, Lee Zeldin's an interesting fellow. | |
| He has a very good background. | |
| He's a very strong legal background, and I think that's part of the reason why he was chosen. | |
| Trump actually put out a statement about this, and I'll I'll read a little bit about it right here. | |
| Let me see if I can find it. | |
| Here it is. | |
| Okay, so Trump says I'm pleased to announce that Congressman from New York, Lee Zeldin, will be appointed to serve as the administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. | |
| He has a strong legal background. | |
| He's been a true fighter for America First policies. | |
| He will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet. | |
| He will set... | |
| New standards on environmental review and maintenance that will allow the United States to grow in a healthy and well-structured way. | |
| So, I think he's being chosen because of his legal background. | |
| Because a lot of the EPA is just going to be regulatory stuff and a lot of, you know, legal stuff. | |
| So that might be a good choice. | |
| Actually, I think it's going to be a strong one. | |
| I happen to like Lee. | |
| I've heard him speak a few times, and I think he's very, you know, well-spoken. | |
| So we'll get into the rest of the picks when we come back. | |
| Stay tuned. | |

| Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host Craig James. | |
| And you know, we're talking about some of Trump's picks. | |
| For his cabinet. | |
| But we had somebody text in from the 505 and they said, Agreed 100% on the complete black pill pessimist attitude. | |
| Thank you for your perspective. | |
| It has caused me concern to see some paint others with such a broad brush. | |
| No one is that bad or that good. | |
| Yeah, that's kind of my opinion. | |
| I mean, maybe people will think that that's a fence-sitting, sort of milquetoast opinion, but to me, I think it's the logical and reasoned opinion where you're not going to act in the way that you see others acting merely because you've seen Things that are blown out of proportion. | |
| I don't know how to put it. | |
| I would say I've seen a lot of people very hyperbolic about this stuff, and I just think there's a more middle ground approach to it all. | |
| And there certainly shouldn't be this attitude of adopting the same attitude as the left does, where it's all people of this type are evil because they just are. | |
| That, to me, is very... | |
| Detrimental to, you know, the world at large. | |
| So, let's keep going. | |
| We have more picks to cover. | |
| You know, Lee Zeldin, he was a former U.S. congressman, represented in New York's 1st Congressional District. | |
| He was elected to the New York State Senate, and he's had a very... | |
| Interesting set of roles. | |
| He served four years on active duty for the U.S. Army where he held roles as a military intelligence officer, a prosecutor, and a military magistrate. | |
| Hmm, interesting. | |
| In 2006, he deployed to Iraq with the 82nd Airborne Division as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. | |
| Today, he continues his service as Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, making over two decades in the military. | |
| It's funny how a lot of these pics, by the way... | |
| That Trump's coming up with have very long military service records. | |
| And people are, I think, not picking up on this as much. | |
| We'll get into that a little bit more with some of the other picks that are being put forth. | |
| But I do think that what Trump's doing this time is very smart. | |
| He is surrounding himself with people who he knows he can trust and have a very strong military background. | |
| Now, that's not all of them, of course, but in some of these key positions, for instance, the EPA, you know, it will be an important administration, the one which Lee Zeldin will be overseeing, if not just for the fact that If you're trying to cut down the bureaucracy, you're going to have to go to where the bureaucracy exists in hiding, right? | |
| Where they hide people. | |
| The EPA would be one example of that. | |
| Where they move and shift their bureaucrats into these organizations, these sort of innocuous organizations, so that they can remain there forever and help enact their agenda. | |
| What is the EPA's What is the globalist strategy for bringing in a one-world government as of now? | |
| Climate change, right? | |
| They're saying that we need globalism because of the climate. | |
| So, taking a... | |
| Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Army with a background in military intelligence and a background in, you know, military, the judicial part of the military, the judiciary of the military. | |
| That, to me, is making a very bold statement saying we're going to go after this bureaucracy wherever it exists and we're going to get rid of these people. | |
| And I mean get rid of as in they should be fired and removed from their offices if they are a part of this never-ending system. | |
| And especially if they're these indoctrinated, you know, sort of globalist type people. | |
| Bureaucrats who want to entrench themselves in the never-ending government so that they can bring wokeism and DEI and all of these very disastrous policies, destructive policies, and implement them. | |
| So Lee Zeldin, I think it's a good pick on a personal level. | |
| I think he's got the right background to really make a difference. | |
| So Looking at some other individuals here, we have the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz. | |
| Again, so we're talking about military, you know, people with military backgrounds being selected for these cabinet positions, these appointments. | |
| Mike Waltz has a pretty good one as well. | |
| And we can talk about that here. | |
| Which I think is interesting. | |
| Let's read a little bit of Trump's statement on this. | |
| So, Trump says, I am honored to announce that Congressman Mike Waltz is hereby appointed to serve in my cabinet as the National Security Advisor. | |
| Mike is the first Green Beret to have been elected to Congress and previously served in the White House and Pentagon. | |
| Mike served in the Army Special Forces. | |
| Hmm. | |
| For 27 years, where he was deployed multiple times in combat, for which he was awarded four Bronze Stars, including two with valor. | |
| Mike retired as a colonel and is nationally recognized leader in national security. | |
| He's an expert on threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. | |
| He serves as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. | |
| He's a distinguished graduate with honors of the Virginia Military Institute. | |
| Hmm, that's interesting. | |
| Mike's been a strong champion of America First policy, foreign policy, and will be a tremendous champion. | |
| So, again, look at his background. | |
| 27 years in the U.S. Army and National Guard. | |
| He was an Army Lieutenant when he graduated Ranger School and was selected for the Green Berets and then served in Special Forces as an officer with multiple combat deployments. | |
| Now, I mean... | |
| I think you're starting to see a trend here with who Trump is surrounding himself with. | |
| He is surrounding himself with people, military background people, combat veteran people, people with experience being deployed. | |
| And I think this is, in effect, a way for him to make good on the promise that he made, but also This is a part of the critique he had for the people who are running our government now. | |
| When he critiqued Liz Cheney and the fake news ran all their, you know, crazy stories about how Trump said he wanted to line Liz Cheney up in front of a firing squad and have her executed. | |
| Well, that's not what he said at all. | |
| He said he would like to give her a rifle and put her in a war zone to face enemy combatants and see if, when she comes back, if she does, that she would be as willing to send our nation's children to go die in these foreign wars needlessly at times. | |
| That was what he was saying. | |
| So now he's coming in and sort of... | |
| Backing up the statement that he made by surrounding himself with people who have been there who understand what that cost really looks like. | |
| And that gives you a different perspective, I think. | |
| And I think also, if you want my honest opinion on what may be happening, a lot of what we've talked about here on the show, I think, is coming to fruition. | |
| And we're going to have Nick on tomorrow to talk a little bit more about this. | |
| Let's just say that Trump's not going to hold anything back this time. | |
| He's not trying to get re-elected, folks. | |
| And there are a lot of people who have committed a lot of crimes who need to see justice. | |
| So that's the kind of war footing he's being put on. | |
| Stay tuned. | |
| We're coming back. | |

| Como rinco rinpo serema Nui non sa Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James. | |
| We're going through Trump's cabinet picks. | |
| And we're going to keep kind of talking about them. | |
| Before we do that, it looks like we have a caller, so we might as well just bring him on here real quick. | |
| It looks like it's our friend Mike. | |
| Mike, are you there? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Real quick, you know, I don't have any insider information, but I do know that if the mass media doesn't like these picks, then I probably do like them. | |
| That's like a very good litmus test that you can use for a lot of things these days. | |
| But very good observation, Mike. | |
| I really appreciate that. | |
| You got anything else? | |
| Well, just that your buddy Nick might make a good advisor, you know? | |
| Trump could do worse than him. | |
| Say what? | |
| I didn't catch that. | |
| Your friend Nick? | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Well, I'm not going to lie. | |
| He may have... | |
| Let's just say he's talking to people in the... | |
| He's got a lot of connections to Trump, and so he's talking to a lot of those people that are in Trump's orbit. | |
| So I'll just leave it at that. | |
| I'll let Nick speak for himself in that regard. | |
| But yeah, Mike, you're going to see... | |
| We have some big stuff coming up in this week's show, particularly Friday's show you're probably going to want to tune in for. | |
| I have my friend who is... | |
| The Intelligence Community Inspector General Insider. | |
| He's worked for the Inspector General for the Intelligence Community. | |
| He's coming on Friday to break down some things for us. | |
| So that'll be an interesting show with Nick. | |
| And, of course, we're having Nick on tomorrow, and he's been talking to a lot of people. | |
| So he's giving us the lowdown on a lot of this stuff as well. | |
| So cool stuff coming up. | |
| But, Mike, I really appreciate you calling in, brother. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Appreciate the show. | |
| All right. | |
| God bless. | |
| Yeah, so that's... | |
| I guess I'm spilling the beans a little early. | |
| Friday's show is going to be one you're going to want to tune in for. | |
| I wasn't really planning on announcing that yet, but... | |
| Yeah, it looks like our friend who goes by the name Chris, who is sort of somebody who I've had for a while now as a source, is going to be joining us to discuss some things. | |
| Mike, are you still there? | |
| Did you want something else? | |
| Oh, looks like we got a pocket dial. | |
| That's okay. | |
| Alright, so here's the thing. | |
| We're going to go through some of these other choices. | |
| We also have somebody... | |
| Somebody texted from the 505 saying, these former military appointments kind of seems to also thumb the nose at the goofs saying suckers and losers, doesn't it? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, of course. | |
| I mean, but we know Trump, he's wanted to work with a lot of these people for a long time. | |
| He's always said these are the kind of people he's going to bring in. | |
| And it doesn't end there, right? | |
| So we talked about his national security advisor, Mike Waltz, and his military background and what he sort of brings to the table. | |
| Now, we find out, you know, in yesterday's show, it was being speculated that Kash Patel was going to be the pick for the director of the CIA. But in an interesting turn of events, somebody else was selected. | |
| And you guys know him as the U.S. representative. | |
| John Ratcliffe, who has another interesting background, which we'll talk about here in just a second. | |
| Let me go ahead and pull up Trump's statement on John Ratcliffe being selected as the director of the CIA. Now, remember that John Ratcliffe Has an interesting background as well, | |
| but he's also been one of the leads on exposing Russiagate, exposing the corruption at the FBI, and this couldn't be a more, I think, direct shot over the bow of the deep state than you could get here. | |
| Now, Kash Patel, I'm holding out a little bit of hope that In a wild turn of events, I think Kash Patel will be chosen to be director of the FBI, which would be perfect for him because that organization needs somebody like Kash in charge of it. | |
| It needs restructuring and it needs a lot of work. | |
| But as does the CIA, however, I think it seems like John Ratcliffe may be a better choice for that. | |
| So here's Trump's statement. | |
| He says... | |
| Pleased to announce the former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, will serve as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. | |
| From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation to catching the FBI's abuse of civil liberties at the FISA court, John Ratcliffe has always been a warrior for truth, honesty with the American public, When 51 intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden's laptop, there was one, John Radcliffe, telling the truth to the American people. | |
| For these and many other reasons, it was my great honor in 2020 to award John a National Security Medal, the nation's highest honor for distinguished achievement in the field of intelligence and national security. | |
| I look forward to John being the first person ever to serve both our nation's highest intelligence positions. | |
| He will be a fearless leader and... | |
| A fearless fighter for constitutional rights of all Americans while ensuring the highest levels of national security and strength through peace. | |
| So I think that's another big pick. | |
| So his former DNI is now going to be the director of the CIA. And one thing you have to know... | |
| Is that he's basically a lawyer who came out of Texas, and he's been working in national security for quite some time. | |
| Now, his work with Trump, I think, is really what sets him apart. | |
| And, of course, when you're the DNI, you have access to a lot of the same information you're going to get as the director of the CIA, but... | |
| At the CIA, we can at least have the expectation that if everything Trump's surrogates and Trump have been saying is true, they're going to try to restructure the CIA so that it stops operating domestically and that it turns its focus onto working internationally as its original intention was. | |
| Now, does that go far enough? | |
| I'm not sure. | |
| Personally, I'm of the opinion that JFK had the right idea, shatter it into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the wind. | |
| There is an argument to be made that there is a necessity for us to have intelligence on and to have these sort of operational capabilities against our enemies who are obviously running those same operations against us. | |
| So hopefully getting the right leadership is going to help. | |
| Stay tuned. | |
| We're coming back. | |

| Okay, so talking about John Ratcliffe, the incoming CIA director, let's just take a little moment here and look back at his time on Capitol Hill when he was working in overseeing the corruption at the FBI. let's just take a little moment here and look back This is his exchange between himself and Peter Strzok. | |
| Listen to this. | |
| One of the agents from the Russiagate hoax who had the text messages where he was having an extramarital affair with the head legal officer at the FBI, and they were talking about how they were going to take down Trump. | |
| Listen to this. | |
| The approximately 50,000 text messages that I've seen with your personal beliefs like F Trump, stop Trump, impeach Trump, go ahead and confirm on the record that none of that occurred on an official FBI device or on official FBI time. | |
| Go ahead and do that. | |
| Sir, no, they did. | |
| Many of them did. | |
| Oh, they did. | |
| Okay, so... | |
| 50,000, sir. | |
| So I'll give you a chance at the end. | |
| So what you really meant to say was that when you said you never crossed that bright, inviolable line, what you meant to say was, except for 50,000 times, except for hundreds of times a day where I went back and forth. | |
| Expressing my personal opinions about effing Trump and stopping Trump and impeaching Trump on official FBI phones, on official FBI time. | |
| Other than that, you never cross that line. | |
| I'm sure there are 13,000 FBI agents out there that are beaming with pride at how clearly you've drawn that line. | |
| Agent Schrucker, you're starting to understand why some folks out there don't believe a word you say and why it's especially troubling that you, of all people, are at the center of the three highest profile investigations in recent times that involve President Trump and that you were in charge of an investigation investigating, gathering evidence against Donald Trump, a subject that you hated, that you wanted to F him, to stop him, to impeach him. | |
| And do you see why that might call into question everything you've touched on all of those investigations? | |
| Chairman, I'm done with this witness and I yield back. | |
| Wow. | |
| That was just a little sample of John Ratcliffe in his time in Congress, and then he was tapped to be, obviously, the Director of National Intelligence, and the rest is history to where we're at today, him being tapped to be the Director of the CIA. That's the kind of leadership I think Americans ask for. | |
| As far as representation in government, we want accountability and we want people to be held accountable for what they've done. | |
| We want justice, really, for these crimes and these criminals and what they've done. | |
| So, with any hope, Him, John Ratcliffe, being the director of the CIA, will bode very well for all of us. | |
| And, you know, the left can't really complain because he's already held a high-level security position, intelligence position as the DNI. So he's privy to all the stuff that the CIA director would probably know anyway. | |
| So they're not going to be able to go after him. | |
| That's probably one of the things that Trump picked him for. | |
| So stay tuned. | |
| We're coming back. | |

| 1 John 4, 16 says, So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. | |
| God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. | |
| That's who God is. | |
| His love for us is boundless. | |
| It is incomparable and incomprehensible. | |
| And it is demonstrated in the sacrifice on the cross by his Son for our sins. | |
| And Paul tells us in Romans 8, verses 38 and 39, nothing can separate us from that love. | |
| For I am sure, Paul says, that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. | |

| Welcome back to Justice Forum Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James. | |
| It's hour two of the Justice Forum Talk Radio show, and boy, do we have a show for you in store still to come. | |
| I hope you guys are doing well. | |
| Real quick, I want to let you all know, at the bottom of the hour, we're going to be joined by Pastor Dean Miller from Front Range Baptist Church here in Fort Collins. | |
| And we're going to talk a little bit about, you know, the spiritual component of this post-election position we find ourselves in. | |
| You know, I want to get him on because I want to talk about, you know, we had him on before the election for our day of fasting, prayer and repentance to kind of walk us through what that means and why we're doing it and what it should look like. | |
| But now I want to bring him on in the post-election, you know, time so that we can get his perspective on where we need to head from here. | |
| because it's not just political, right? | |
| Political is actually the least of these things that we have to worry about. | |
| In comparison to our spiritual battles that are ahead, and I think his perspective is very much something I think I'm interested in hearing and sharing with all of you out there. | |
| So he's coming on the second, at the bottom of the hour, I should say, and we're going to have him for an interesting conversation. | |
| Now, we also are going to take time here to thank one of our sponsors. | |
| You know it's our friends over at God's Feeding Station dot org. | |
| If you haven't tried them out yet today, it's an online ministry, 100% free for you to use. | |

| And it's just a good tool to have. | |
| And we're thanks to partner up with them as well. | |
| So, with that being said, as I said before, it's hour two of the Just One Talk radio show. | |
| If I can get through this without stuttering too much more. | |
| We're going into Trump's cabinet picks. | |
| So, so far, we've gone through all of his picks as it stands. | |
| We talked about Susie Wiles, his chief of staff. | |
| We talked a little bit about Elise Stefanik, his U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. We talked about the Administrator of the EPA, Lee Zeldin. | |
| Mike Waltz, his National Security Advisor. | |
| John Ratcliffe, the Director of the CIA. Now, one of the picks we haven't talked about yet is his pick for Secretary of Defense. | |
| Which is another, I think, strong pick, in my humble opinion, in Pete Hegseth. | |
| You guys may be familiar with that name from Fox News. | |
| He's one of the hosts over there at Fox. | |
| And for as much as I don't like Fox... | |
| For a number of reasons. | |
| I think that Fox gets it right sometimes. | |
| And, you know, they, of course, being the gatekeepers that they are, have to bring in people who are legitimate patriots so that they can continue the illusion that they are, you know, fair and balanced, as they like to say, when in reality they're just, you know, very, very... | |
| Highly placed gatekeepers as far as media is concerned. | |
| But Pete Hegseth's got a pretty interesting background and career. | |
| Now, I'll read you what Trump wrote about Pete in choosing him to be the Secretary of Defense because I think it's very much worth listening to and hear. | |
| It is. | |
| Let me pull this up. | |
| Let me find this real quick. | |
| I had it up here a second ago. | |
| So... | |
| Pete Hexeth, again, is another veteran who's got a very strong background in... | |
| Here it is. | |
| He's got a strong background in military, right? | |
| He says, With Pete at the helm, America's enemies are on notice. | |
| Our military will be great again and America will never back down. | |
| Pete's a graduate of Princeton University, has a graduate degree from Harvard University. | |
| He's an army combat veteran who did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Afghanistan. | |
| Guantanamo Bay, interesting. | |
| For his actions on the battlefield, he was decorated with two bronze stars, as well as combat infantryman's badge. | |
| Pete's been a host of Fox News for eight years, where he used that platform to fight for military and veterans. | |
| Pete's recent book, The War on Warriors, spent nine weeks as a bestseller on the New York Times list. | |
| The book reveals the left-wing betrayal of our warriors and how we must return our military to meritocracy. | |
| Lethality, accountability, and excellence. | |
| He's also led two veteran advocacy organizations leading the fight for our warriors and our great veterans. | |
| Nobody fights hard for the troops and Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our peace through strength policy. | |
| So, here's the thing you've got to remember, right? | |
| This is a decorated combat veteran who served tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and interestingly enough, Guantanamo Bay. | |
| Hmm. | |
| That's an interesting little side note. | |
| Maybe we'll talk to Nick about that tomorrow, because Nick's got some interesting theories about all of this stuff, which we're going to be very interested to hear in tomorrow's show. | |
| However, again, this goes back to the theme of Trump surrounding himself with decorated veterans, combat veterans, who have seen battle. | |
| And I think this is another confirmation of his campaign promises, where one of his biggest critiques of a lot of these people who were serving in these high-level positions in government was In a lot of cases, they were bringing in people with no real world experience in the job that they were seeking to do. | |
| How can you have... | |
| A joint chief of staff who've never, you know, won war. | |
| You know, I mean, and that's just one example, one of the critiques. | |
| But again, Liz Cheney, you know, all but too happy to advocate for sending your kids off to battle, yet she herself has never stepped foot in a battlefield. | |
| This has been the critique of a lot of Washington for some time, and I think Trump bringing in these figures is very smart. | |
| And I think it's very valuable that he's surrounded... | |
| It's very telling, I think, that he's surrounding himself with these kind of people. | |
| If not for any other reason, then it gives you an idea of the sort of nature of his administration, what it's going to look like. | |
| I think it's going to be... | |
| A battle against the deep state, and he is surrounding himself with combat veterans who have experience in fighting wars. | |
| Because at this point, folks, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I believe that behind closed doors, In the halls of our entranced bureaucracy and everything else, there is a cold civil war that has been happening for many, many years now. | |
| And people always say, oh, that's ridiculous, that can't be true, but look at what's been happening, folks. | |
| From the political persecutions to the reluctance to hold anyone accountable for their crimes, It seems as though there are factions building on both sides that have been waging war for quite some time, and Trump's ready to go back at it. | |
| So we'll see how it all goes. | |
| We've got one more cabinet pick to go over, and then we'll talk about a few other things when we come back. | |
| Stay tuned. | |

| We'll be right back. | |
| Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James, and we're going to go through the last pick so far, or a couple more picks, actually, that Trump's made as far as his appointments are concerned for his administration. | |
| The last one that's one of the cabinet-level picks... | |
| For department head would be the DHS, Department of Homeland Security. | |
| So Trump announced yesterday that he is nominating or putting forward Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota, as his Department of Homeland Security secretary. | |
| He said in his statement that she will work closely with Borders R. Tom Homan to secure the border. | |
| And we'll guarantee that our American homeland is secure from our adversaries. | |
| Governor Kristi Noem issued the following statement saying, quote, I am honored and humbled that President Trump has selected me to be the Secretary of Homeland Security. | |
| I look forward to working with Borders star Tom Holman to make America safe again. | |
| With Donald Trump, we will secure the border and restore safety to American communities so that families will again have the opportunities to pursue the American dream. | |
| This is a good pick because she's obviously a strong conservative and her mandate will be pretty simple. | |
| Secure the border and... | |
| Stop the weaponization of DHS against the American people, like facilitating the invasion of the American homeland. | |
| That, I think, would be her priority, and that's a good priority, and I think she's a good pick. | |
| Plus, coming from South Dakota... | |
| It won't be difficult to find a replacement for her as governor, given how deep red it is. | |
| It's not like pulling a conservative out of a position where there's a chance that he or she may not be able to get the seat back for the party or for the conservative movement in general. | |
| South Dakota's safe red, so I don't think it'll be difficult replacing her. | |
| I assume when a governor steps down to do something like this, that they are replaced through a special election, I would imagine. | |
| But I'm not sure entirely how that process works. | |
| So, Kristi Noem. | |
| All right, so there's the cabinet that we know so far. | |
| Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Elis Stefanik, Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator, Mike Waltz, National Security Advisor, John Ratcliffe, Director of the CIA. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. | |
| And Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. | |
| So, there are other picks yet. | |
| The rumors about Marco Rubio being the Secretary of State are still just rumors. | |
| That has not been confirmed yet. | |
| And there's also a lot of talk about the Attorney General selection. | |
| Trump's having a difficult time with it, according to sources, which, you know, take it with a grain of salt. | |
| They're saying that he's struggling to find somebody who's going to do the job that... | |
| He wants to get done. | |
| And the Attorney General is going to be probably the most important pick he makes, to be quite honest. | |
| Because they're going to be the one in charge of the DOJ. They're going to be the one in charge of cleaning up that mess that's been made over there. | |
| And they're going to have to be strong and very smart and very capable, legally speaking. | |
| So I don't know who the best pick for that is at this point. | |
| Maybe you guys can text it and let me know if you have any thoughts on that particular thing. | |
| A couple text messages I just want to talk about here. | |
| Some of the 970 says, John Radcliffe is a fantastic pick. | |
| And how about Devin Nunes for head of the DOJ and Cash Patel as FBI? What a pair. | |
| Yeah, Devin Nunes may be an interesting one for the DOJ, for the Attorney General, but I don't know. | |
| Cashfell's FBI? Yeah, I like that one a lot. | |
| 7970 says, Craig, I just heard that Susie Wiles is a globalist. | |
| Would Nick know about her history? | |
| She is big for Big Pharma, and that would kneecap RFK Jr. | |
| So, I kind of dispelled that a little earlier. | |
| From my understanding... | |
| There was a rumor that she was connected to Big Pharma and a part of that globalist sort of syndicate, but that's just all that's been a rumor. | |
| Roger Stone went out and sort of made an effort to dispel that, saying that she's not had any real connections to Big Pharma and that that was just kind of a rumor that's been floating around out there. | |
| But I still have to look more into that. | |
| We'll talk to Nick about it, too, tomorrow in the show. | |
| We had someone from 720 texted in and said that Trump's... | |
| So they're sending me more information about how Susie Wiles is co-chair of a firm managed by a recent Pfizer vice president. | |
| I mean, listen. | |
| Co-chair of a firm managed by a recent Pfizer vice president. | |
| I'm not sure that that's like the smoking gun that you think it is, to be quite honest. | |
| But again, I'm not telling you what to think. | |
| I'm just saying that to say that that is an indication is kind of like... | |
| I don't know. | |
| I think sometimes, especially with sources like The National File, you get... | |
| Patrick Howley can get into... | |
| Sometimes he's right. | |
| Sometimes he's a little out there making a lot of jumps to connect things to other things. | |
| But decide for yourself. | |
| Don't just take my word for it. | |
| McGregor for AG. I think Douglas McGregor would have been great for... | |
| Secretary of Defense or the DNI or any of those things, he could actually still be the Director of National Intelligence. | |
| He could also, let's see, what else could he do? | |
| Yeah, I think perhaps McGregor might be a great DNI because we still haven't had that one announced. | |
| Douglas McGregor for the Director of National Intelligence. | |
| I could see that as being a very good pick. | |
| So, you know, we shouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves. | |
| Maybe Douglas McGregor for Secretary of State. | |
| That'd be a fun one to see come together. | |
| But, yeah, that's pretty much the picks that we have so far. | |
| And a couple other picks that we've been given. | |
| Mike Huckabee, who I do like a lot, has been named as the ambassador to Israel, believe it or not. | |
| Former governor of Arkansas has been named as the ambassador to Israel. | |
| Now, a lot of people are freaking out, like I said before, about the Israel stuff. | |
| But as someone pointed out online, you know... | |
| Some of the most diehard Israel-first people are like Elise Stefanik, who's now going to be sent off to the squabble with the UN over toothless resolutions, and Huckabee, who's very pro-Israel, but he's also a former Baptist minister, and he's replacing an Israeli-born IDF veteran. | |
| So... | |
| There's a lot of positive movement in the right direction here. | |
| So, real quick, it looks like we may have another call here. | |
| Our friend Mike, are you on? | |
| Yeah, just a quick question. | |
| Can Trump, like, make up things to promote, like, say, AOC, put her in the czar of grasshoppers, or Tlaib, the czar of silt coffee? | |
| He could, but they would have to be willing to accept that position, so he can't force them. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| I was thinking he could promote them out of being a fan of Ian. | |
| No, that would be great if he could, like, put, you know, AOC, the Director of Climate Change Initiatives, and have it stationed in Antarctica. | |
| Yeah, I think that would be fun. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Right. | |
| But no, they'd have to be willing, so. | |
| Okay. | |
| All right. | |
| All right, thanks. | |
| Hello. | |
| Sorry. | |
| Yeah, sorry. | |
| I had a little technical difficulty here for a second. | |
| I didn't catch the end of that, but thanks, Mike, for calling in. | |
| That was fun. | |
| A couple other things I want to talk about here. | |
| Somebody came in and said, please, this is Kristi Noem. | |
| She's become a rhino like John Thune. | |
| So, John Thune, yeah, well, here's the thing. | |
| That's why the appointment is so genius. | |
| Because all of these appointments, you have to remember, and this is not me that other people have pointed this out, but if you appoint somebody, for instance, if you appoint Marco Rubio as the Secretary of State, He has to step down as senator, accept the position of Secretary of State, and then he can be fired at any time, meaning if he doesn't do what you want him to do, he can be fired, and then he won't be the Secretary of State or the Senator from Florida. | |
| So a lot of people are pointing that out and saying, you know, some of these picks may be for that very reason, particularly with people who are sitting in positions now. | |
| So if, in fact, Kristi Noem is and has become a rhino, Then it would stand to reason that he is effectively, by giving her the position of Homeland Security secretary, removing her as governor, and then he can at any point remove her as secretary of Homeland Security, and there you go. | |
| That's, you know, wipe your hands clean, Bob's your uncle, right? | |
| Or whatever that saying is. | |
| I hope that's not a bad saying. | |
| I've never... | |
| Used it before, but you get what I'm saying. | |
| So there are a lot of positive things to what is happening here in this administration, I think, in the picks. | |
| I think there is a lot of positive we can take away from these picks on a personal level. | |
| One other story I want to talk about real quick before we hit our break is what's happening to Infowars. | |
| So a lot of you know InfoWars is being put up for auction right now, and here's a bit of a description from Harrison Smith on what's going to happen today at InfoWars, to give you guys an update on that. | |
| Today is the day that the auction actually takes place to sell off InfoWars. | |
| It's being sold off basically in two parts, the intellectual property aspect and then the physical property and the physical equipment and everything like that. | |
| Now, this will be carried out in a single bid, and I've never really heard of an auction like this, but instead of going back and forth like a typical auction, it'll be a blind one-bid auction. | |
| So everybody who's actually bidding on InfoWars will simply put in how much they would pay without seeing anybody else's offers, and then whoever puts in the highest offer wins. | |
| And so there's a couple potential buyers, one of which is a friendly buyer. | |
| And we've had people this whole time saying, well, do you need more buyers? | |
| Do you need more billionaires, millionaires to put in a bid? | |
| And it's like, well, you really only need one. | |
| We really just need one. | |
| We have that one. | |
| Otherwise, there's bidding against each other, and there's not really a lot of point to that. | |
| So we do have at least one friendly buyer. | |
| On Friday, I believe, or sometime late last week, they sort of put forward their financials to prove that they had the money that they were putting up to bid, as well as, you know, putting down a deposit, that sort of thing. | |
| And it was after that that the rules of the auction was changed from a more typical back-and-forth trying to outbid each other to the single blind one bid. | |
| And we think that's a good thing. | |
| Long story short, final bids go in at 10.30 a.m. | |
| today. | |
| So in a little under two and a half hours, the bids will be finalized. | |
| And I imagine shortly after that, we will know one way or the other the fate of Infowars. | |
| So potentially it could be a good buyer. | |
| The friendly buyer could win out, in which case, you know, there may be some changes. | |
| There may be a little bit of Downtime or, you know, transitionary time. | |
| But we'll essentially be able to continue operation with Alex Jones. | |
| There you have it, folks. | |
| So, that's the situation on Infowars. | |
| It is going up for auction today. | |
| It sounds like they have one potential bidder who is a good bidder. | |
| A lot of people are speculating that that is Elon Musk. | |
| But we don't know for sure who it is. | |
| Uh, So we'll see what happens there, because obviously we play InfoWars on the station here, and we'll get you more details as time goes on about how that will affect what we do as far as the broadcast goes here. | |
| It's just a wild situation. | |
| All right, when we come back, we're going to be joined by Pastor Dean Miller. | |

| Okay, so without further ado, I want to take a second and welcome on a guest who we've had on many times. | |
| He's usually giving sermons, but today we're bringing him on to talk about the election and what our kind of journey will be from here going forward as Christians. | |
| So I want to welcome to the show our friend, my pastor, Pastor Dean Miller. | |
| Pastor Miller, are you there? | |
| Hey, good morning Craig. | |
| Good to be here. | |
| Yeah, it's a pleasure to have you on, and I'm glad we were able to get you back because the last time we had you on the show, as a guest at least, was the day before the election where we talked about doing a day of fasting, prayer, and repentance so that we could prepare ourselves for whatever outcome was to be and to go to God and reverentially say, Lord, you know, let your will be done. | |
| We submit to you. | |
| And it looks like For all intents and purposes, the outcome was the one that we had hoped for. | |
| But I know that just because that happened, it doesn't mean that the work is finished in any sense that you could imagine. | |
| And that's why I wanted to bring you back to give us sort of perspective on it. | |
| But let's start first with just your general perspective and thoughts on the outcome of the election and what you saw there. | |
| Well, I tell you, we saw some great things happen in this election, and I think really and truly, Craig, it was in part because God's people did turn to the Lord in fasting and prayer. | |
| I was on your show that Monday before the election, and prior to that, the week before, I was on a national Zoom call with a lot of pastors and Christian leaders from across the country. | |
| And that was the call. | |
| The call was, if my people, which are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked way, then I'll hear from heaven and heal their land. | |
| Now, I think we've taken some great steps in this election towards that, but I was just, I think, with everybody that would be on our side of the aisle politically, | |
| But really, even more than that, spiritually and morally, I think we saw a great victory last Tuesday, that overwhelmingly the American people were not necessarily voting for Donald Trump, but they were voting against this entire woke agenda. | |
| And I think the American people saw that we have a political institution in this country that put their entire I think COVID woke up parents to what's being taught in the classroom. | |
| And that system is Fundamentally flawed, morally flawed. | |
| And I think overwhelmingly the American people said, that's not the direction we want this country to go. | |
| And that's a huge win for our nation. | |
| I couldn't agree more. | |
| I think that exactly what you said is how I feel about it. | |
| You know, a lot of, it was funny, you were giving a sermon before and, you know, you kind of said, you know, you kind of have to hold your nose and vote for Trump. | |
| And I think it's for exactly the reason you just outlined, that we were voting against this movement that our country was taking toward these things that we saw, in my opinion, as being dark, Demonic forces in a way with how they, as you pointed out, how they treat children, how they treat society at large, and this is now, now we're on that path, right? | |
| So now we've chosen to go in a different direction, and of course we have a lot of work ahead of us. | |
| Could you speak for a second about The idea that just because we've gotten our political way, that spiritually we have a huge battle ahead of us still. | |
| We're in a spiritual war. | |
| This is not a political war. | |
| I've been preaching this for years now, that we are not in a Left vs. | |
| Right, Democrat vs. | |
| Republican, Blue vs. | |
| Red. | |
| This is the age-old battle of light vs. | |
| dark and good vs. | |
| evil. | |
| And what gets lost in all of that, in the political ideology, is we embrace personalities, we embrace political parties, And we can get so wrapped up in that that we lose sight of the fundamental things that are being promoted. | |
| And just like we talked about a moment ago, the fact that you would base your entire political campaign on abortion, and you can call it whatever you want to call it. | |
| You can call it women's rights. | |
| You can call it reproductive care. | |
| There's nothing reproductive, and there's no care in abortion. | |
| And the idea that we have surrendered our political ideals to really sinister things, this is a wake-up call to Christians, to the darkness that is in our land spiritually. | |
| And so this is no time to back up. | |
| We gave ourselves to fasting and prayer for the election. | |
| But Christians better understand we did not vote in a savior. | |
| And if we want to be a God-blessed country, we have to seek the Lord with all of our heart. | |
| And so Christians need to be, right now, more dedicated to prayer, to fasting, to faithfulness. | |
| Christians need to get into Bible-preaching churches. | |
| They need to get into the Word of God. | |
| They need to be salt and light in their communities. | |
| We need to be going into this world and truthfully and lovingly speaking into the lives of our society. | |
| We need to be taking that light and salt into our school boards, into our corporate boardrooms. | |
| Far too long, Craig. | |
| The Christian has been told to sit down and be quiet and just go to your church and behind the stained glass go practice your faith. | |
| And we've walked out of the boardrooms. | |
| We've walked out of our corporate offices. | |
| We've walked away from our neighbors. | |
| And this is where Christianity is not lived out in the church. | |
| Christianity is lived out in the culture. | |
| We go to church to be encouraged, to be instructed, To be reproved, to be rebuked, to be corrected and instructed in righteousness so that we can go out into this world and to live out and demonstrate Christ to our neighbors, to our co-workers. | |
| And I've often said this in our church, but the greatest mission field in the world is where Christians go to work on Monday morning. | |
| And so this is the time for Christians not to back up and just say, well, we've voted in a Savior. | |
| We have a Savior, and His name is Jesus. | |
| And we need to be busy sharing the faith and the gospel and speaking truth into this culture with the heart of Christ. | |
| And this is the time to really pray and give ourselves to what God has called us to do in this age. | |
| Oh, amen. | |
| I really appreciate that. | |
| And I want to come back after the break and keep going deeper into it and maybe look at some scripture to talk about what we have ahead of us. | |
| Everybody stay tuned. | |
| We're coming back with Pastor Dean Miller, Front Range Baptist Church, right here in Fort Collins. | |
| Stay tuned. | |

| Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James. | |
| We're joined by Pastor Dean Miller of Front Range Baptist Church right here in Fort Collins. | |
| And he's kind of walking us through the spiritual battle that's ahead after this election, post-election. | |
| Where are we to look to and go to as Christians? | |
| And we always know that Jesus Christ is where we are heading every day with everything we have. | |
| And, you know, what you were saying before, Pastor, to bring you back on here, is you were saying that we need to be going out and bringing Christ into our daily lives and not just relegate it to the church, but to live it out every day. | |
| And one of the verses that... | |
| I use for inspiration and encouragement in doing that with what I do, because I've been so blessed to be able to share the gospel with so many people, not just through my radio show, my podcast, but in real life. | |
| When I'm with people, I've been saved, so I genuinely want to help them find it. | |
| There was a verse that stood out in my mind that helped me do that, and it was Romans 1.16. | |
| And it says, for I am not ashamed of the gospel because it's God's power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew and also the Greek. | |
| And I remember when I first heard that verse, as I was kind of being born again in my little bit older after college, I went through my college phase, prodigal son. | |
| Forgive me, Lord. | |
| But I remember that that verse was what just stuck in my mind about how I should be about my faith. | |
| Once I was saved, Pastor, I knew I had been given the best and greatest gift in the world, and the only thing I could think I wanted to do with that gift was to then share it with others. | |
| And that verse helped me do it. | |
| Could you talk a little bit about what Paul was saying there and maybe a little more context to that and what you were saying before about bringing our faith out into the world? | |
| Well, sure. | |
| That verse is a keystone verse for the Christian because The only hope that we have is in the gospel of Jesus Christ. | |
| And gospel simply meaning the good news. | |
| And Paul says right there, it's the gospel that is the power of God. | |
| And what does that mean? | |
| Well, we see God's power displayed in the gospel in the fact that He sent His Son into the world and made Him to become flesh, just like us, and to experience What we experience and to live as a man and yet without sin that's Jesus Christ was was God come in the flesh he was man and yet God it's the great mystery he had no sin but then God made him to become sin for us | |
| and he put all of our sin on him and Jesus paid the price for our sin he died on the cross and the gospel is simply the death the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ And this is where the power of God is displayed, Craig. | |
| It's Jesus dying for our sins, and He was buried, and He carried those sins away, and then God raised Him up from the dead. | |
| And this is the power of God in my life, that there was a time I came to Jesus Christ by faith, and I received Him. | |
| I acknowledged my sin. | |
| I acknowledged my need to be saved. | |
| And when I received Jesus Christ, let me tell you what He did. | |
| He took my old life, and He crucified it, and He buried it, and there was a resurrection of new life in me. | |
| And this is the power of the gospel, is that God did not just come to make bad people better. | |
| Jesus Christ came To make dead people alive. | |
| He came to take those of us who were dead in our trespasses and sins and to give us new life, His life, so that we could live His life and He could live His life through us and the world could see Him. | |
| And I want to say the reason why the Bible says that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, not only is it God's power displayed in me that He made me new, But He displays His power through me. | |
| And the greatest testimony to the gospel of Jesus Christ is the changed life. | |
| My dad and mom were young. | |
| We were going through divorce. | |
| My dad was, for all intents and purposes, my dad was an alcoholic. | |
| He was a drunk. | |
| They had three children. | |
| My mom was expecting a baby. | |
| They were going through a divorce. | |
| My mom delivered that baby. | |
| He lived for a month and a half and died. | |
| And a man that my dad worked with at a Chevrolet garage in Montana, his name was Bill Wickham, he shared the gospel with my dad. | |
| And my dad received Christ, and he experienced the power of God through that gospel, and that was a transformed life. | |
| And it totally changed my dad. | |
| He's 85 years old. | |
| My dad and my mom were married 63 years. | |
| My mom is in heaven now. | |
| A couple years ago, she passed away. | |
| And mom and dad had a transformed life by the power of God. | |
| That's the power of the gospel. | |
| It changes lives. | |
| And that's what this world needs to see. | |
| The world sees too much hatred and division and anger. | |
| And here's the thing. | |
| We need to be divided from sin, and we need to be angry at the consequences of sin and what it does to people. | |
| In that anger, we deliver love. | |
| We show people a new and living way through Jesus Christ. | |
| And we do what you just said you did, Craig. | |
| You share the gospel and your personal relationships and every venue that God has given you. | |
| And that's, you know, Craig, I'm thankful to know you and to see how God is using you, not just in a political fashion, but just as a voice of right and And a voice for Christ. | |
| And that's the hope of the country, that if Christians will share the gospel, that's how we are light, and that's how we are salt. | |
| Amen. | |
| I appreciate that. | |
| And, you know, when you were speaking there, you talked about anger, and that reminds me of a second verse that I use often in my life, which is James 1.20, talking about how our anger doesn't satisfy God's righteousness, right? | |
| And, you know, the point you made, I thought, was just spot on with that, sir. | |
| Well, you know, the Bible tells us in Ephesians chapter 4, to be angry and sin not. | |
| And we know, those of us who know God and know His Word, we know that God revealed His anger many times in the Bible, and God was righteous in His anger. | |
| The only way that you and I can be angry and not sin is to be angry at sin. | |
| I'm not angry at the people. | |
| I'm angry at sin itself and what it does to people. | |
| My heart breaks for these who are in darkness, who have gone through the pains of Radical gender reassignment and all of these things that are now regretting their decisions and what they're doing. | |
| And to see what this darkness has done in day-to-day lives. | |
| As a pastor, I've counseled with people who've experienced the pains of abortion and so forth. | |
| I'm angry at what sin does, but I love those people, and I want them to know Christ and the changing power of the gospel. | |
| Amen, because, you know, I was once one of those people, and I was saved, and I have that hope for others, and I'm like, that's why I get up and do this every day. | |
| So when we come back, Pastor, I want to give you a second to kind of talk about Christ a little bit more and lead us out with some prayer. | |
| So stay tuned. | |
| We're coming right back. | |

| Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio. | |
| I'm your host, Craig James, with Pastor Dean Miller of Front Range Baptist Church here in Fort Collins. | |
| If you want to check him out live in person, services are Sundays at 9.30 and 11 a.m., and all are welcome. | |
| Pastor Miller, you know, at the end of our show, I always save the best for last. | |
| You know, I'm like the kid at Christmas who likes to open the best gift last. | |
| And so I always at the end of the show do a segment called God's Grace is Greater where we read scripture and we talk about it and we leave people with some hope and encouragement because I know a lot of the times we talk about politics and stuff that can be negative that's kind of dark in a way. | |
| And we always leave people with hope in the scripture, and today is no different. | |
| But with you here with us today, I want to give you the floor and have you do a bit of an invitation to Christ for our audience, and then close us out with prayer. | |
| So I'll give you the remainder of the show, which is about three minutes. | |
| So take it away, Pastor, if you don't mind. | |
| Thanks, Craig. | |
| There's no greater gift than the gift of God through Jesus Christ. | |
| The Bible says the wages of sin is death. | |
| I was born in my sin. | |
| I'm under the condemnation of that. | |
| But when I came to Jesus Christ, the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. | |
| It's not through political ideology. | |
| It's not through religious activity. | |
| It's not through church membership. | |
| You can't join my church and go to heaven. | |
| You have to come to Jesus Christ and receive Him as your personal Lord and Savior. | |
| And I want to just leave this with everybody in the audience. | |
| First of all, those who know Christ, the Bible says, I exhort therefore that first of all, supplication, prayer, intercession, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings, and for all that are in authority. | |
| That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. | |
| I want to encourage the believers in this audience to continue to pray, to lead a quiet and peaceable and godly life, and be the salt and the light. | |
| And there's a reason why we pray and live that kind of life, because in the next few verses it says that God would have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. | |
| For there's one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all. | |
| And I want to tell you, if you're not a believer today, if you only give yourself to writing society through politics, you're just making the world a better place to go to hell from. | |
| Thank you. | |
| But I want to tell you that if you come to Jesus Christ, God wants to save you. | |
| God sent His Son to save you. | |
| And He would have all men to be saved. | |
| If you'll come to Jesus Christ, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. | |
| Jesus said, He that comes to me, I will in no wise cast him out. | |
| You come to Jesus Christ today by faith, and you receive Him, He'll receive you. | |
| He'll give you that power of God through faith. | |
| He'll change your heart and your life. | |
| He'll make you a new creation. | |
| And you will see things from a whole different perspective because you'll be now walking in the light. | |
| So I encourage you to come to Jesus Christ by faith and receive Him as your Lord and Savior. | |
| You can bow your heart to Him right now and just simply pray, Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and I need to be saved. | |
| I need forgiveness of my sins. | |
| I need to be made new. | |
| I am trusting you, Jesus, the best way I know how. | |
| To be my Lord and Savior. | |
| Come into my heart. | |
| Make me new. | |
| And then thank Him for it. | |
| Jesus, thank you for saving me. | |
| Give me boldness to live this out and to share your good news with others. | |
| And today, if you'll come to Him by faith and receive Him, you can have eternal life. | |
| This is the record that God gave, that He gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. | |
| He that has the Son has life. | |
| He that has not the Son of God has not life. |
