Donald Trump and President Zelensky dominate this episode, where hosts analyze Trump's State of the Union claims regarding $350 billion in wasted Ukraine aid versus ignored border security. They argue Zelensky, allegedly backed by Biden, rejected early peace offers, while British PM Keir Starmer risks a "banker war" by deploying troops. The discussion links these conflicts to alleged Jewish orchestration and critiques Democratic malice for fueling the bloodiest European war since WWII, ultimately suggesting Trump's natural law approach offers the only path to preventing global catastrophe.

Leave us a five star review on your favorite podcast platform.
I get it.
It's annoying.
Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.
When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.
You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.
We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.
On February 24th, 2022, Russia launched an attack into Ukraine.
Almost three years have passed now since then, and the Russian Ukrainian War is the bloodiest European war since World War II.
Likely over a million people have died, with mass torture, abuse, and starvation reported from the front lines.
Footage from horrific drone warfare and forced mass conscriptions remind us of the horror, damage, and ugliness of war.
But now, Trump is back in office.
Last night, he gave one of the greatest State of the Union addresses in the history.
Of our nation.
He doubled down on cutting wasteful spending, ending the trans madness, and getting violent criminals off of our streets.
And perhaps most significantly, he insisted on peace in Ukraine.
This is what led to the infamous fallout on Friday between President Zelensky and President Trump and Vice President Vance.
It's a stark contrast to other European leaders, such as the Prime Minister of Great Britain, who currently in his bloodlust is chomping at the bit.
To put boots on the ground in Ukraine.
Perhaps he thinks that this is his Winston Churchill moment.
Spoil alert, if it is, that would be a bad thing.
But Trump, however, is more interested in stopping the killer.
This is why Zelensky campaigned for Kamala Harris during the election season in 2024.
And it's no surprise that the second assassination attempt on Trump was from a rabid Ukraine supporter who tried to enlist in their army.
See, Without billions of US and European dollars and armaments and eventually the lives of our sons, and because of our wicked egalitarian society, even the lives of our daughters, the war in Ukraine is heading ultimately towards a quick end.

All right, so let's go ahead and we're going to deal with that.
Uh, global pest Zelensky, the highest paid actor in all of human history, uh, billions and billions of dollars for his stunning performance.
Uh, but you know what they say when it comes to show business, you know that.
There's something to be said for the actor and his skill set, his giftedness and ability, but there's also something to be said for the crowd, right?
Sometimes you got a tough crowd.
And now that the king is back, now that Trump is here, it's not as easy of a crowd in order to be able to just put forward a little performance and get billions and billions of dollars.
The gravy train is coming to a screeching halt.
Praise God.
It couldn't be soon enough.
And Trump and VP Vance are thoroughly unimpressed by the little.
Little rousing shindig that Zelensky continues to do.
And for him, it's probably, you know, it's probably a bit of an unpleasant surprise.
It's probably catching him off guard because he's used to Biden and Harris and just being given.
He campaigned for them.
Yeah, he literally campaigned for them in the election cycle in 2024.
And as we said in the Cold Open, the second assassination attempt, which just even saying that, second, more than one, second assassination attempt on Donald Trump during the campaign.
Was performed by a rabid pro Ukrainian guy who tried to enlist in the Ukrainian army.
Tried to enlist and try to get other people to enlist.
Was trying to say, let's go, let's fight.
So, why is he trying to kill Trump?
Well, I was going to say everyone hates Trump, but that's not actually true.
Turns out he's one of the more popular presidents of my lifetime currently in the polls.
His approval rating right now is the highest it's ever been for him.
Yeah.
And the approval rating from the congressional address that just took place last night was through the roof.
It was like 70 something percent that said, yeah, this is pretty good.
We like this.
And do I think that there were manufactured votes in the 2020 election when 80 trillion, billion, gazillion people came out to vote for Joe Biden, people from the grave?
People who've never even existed.
Yeah, I think that the votes were fluffed up.
But let's be honest for a second.
As much as we want to give credence to the fact that that election was, if not stolen, certainly rigged, I think we can say that with all sincerity.
Time magazine said that.
Yeah, as much as the 2020 election was rigged in Biden's favor, let's just be honest.
There were still a ton of people who voted for Biden who have changed their mind.
And praise God.
So it's not just like, oh, look, this just shows how everything was inflated and artificially manipulated.
And then what the people really thought was.
They really loved Trump all along.
No, they did not love Trump all along.
They are now changing their tune because they're coming to terms and realizing, praise God, by his grace, we welcome it with open arms, but they're realizing that they were idiots.
And that is important.
Everybody who, I'm just going to say this, I'll get a little bit of flack, but everybody who is changing their tune, welcome.
Absolutely.
We welcome you with open arms and go ahead and find yourself a nice, warm, comfortable spot on the bench.
We need your vote.
We do not need your voice.
If you voted for Joe Biden in 2020, you are unfit.
To lead this movement, you don't know what time it is, you have barely any discernment at all.
We're glad that you saw the error of your ways, we've got we're glad you've repented and that you've changed.
But no, you do not get to come along and ride in the car, preferably in the trunk, but at least in the back seat.
But you certainly don't get to drive.
You absolutely ruined the country for four years, you endangered the lives of children.
Uh, you are responsible for 13 service members losing their lives in Afghanistan.
You are a liability.
By God's grace, you are not so much of a liability that with the blatant evidence painted right in front of your face for four years from 2020 through 2024, you're not so much of a liability that you couldn't see the writing on the wall that was so evident to eventually change your mind and vote for Trump four years later.
And we're grateful for that.
But by the sheer virtue of voting for Joe Biden in 2020, we knew all the facts back then.
We knew all the facts back then.
Nothing has changed.
It's like all the people who were wearing Three masks and got 17 boosters, and then said, Well, we didn't know, you know, and now the data has come out, you know.
Who could have known?
Like, yeah, who could have known?
It's like, I don't know, like maybe just the tens of thousands of people who were saying it all along.
It's one thing to get fooled for a few weeks.
A lot of us, including myself, you know, for the first few weeks, you know, our church didn't meet because we didn't have a place to meet.
We were renting a public school.
The school kicked us out.
We were in California where there were some of the strictest COVID policies.
And so for four weeks, we were not able to meet as Church, and we were trying to figure things out, but I'm talking about guys who were locking down their churches and triple masking and 17 boosters, not for four weeks, but for 18 months.
Diving services, vaccinated.
And now I want to say, well, we were hoodwinked and we were lied to.
No, there's a confirmation bias that at some point you must admit it comes into play.
No, you were believing what was being said, not because it was proven, not because it was compelling, but because you are an NPC.
You are an NPC, non player character.
And the chip that was saying she's so brat six months ago, and you were sharing the TikTok videos, has simply been replaced by the popular sentiment.
And now you're saying, you know, you're doing the Trump dance.
And if you're an MPC who went from she's so brat on TikTok to now, you know, doing a Trump dance on X, we're glad you're here.
You do not get to drive.
Find a seat on the bench.
We're glad you're here, but you are not qualified to have an ounce of influence.
The NPC Trap and Trump Dance00:14:58
And one of my greatest prayers for our president, Donald J. Trump, Is it through this second term that he would not make some of the most significant mistakes that he made in his first term, which is trusting the wrong people?
That he would.
Here's the thing he is so not literally Hitler, despite what the legacy media tries to tell you.
I actually think one of the greatest weaknesses of Trump is not that he's totalitarian, not that he's too extreme, not that he's too harsh, but I think he's a big softy.
And I think I see that actually as one of his greatest weaknesses.
Trump is actually too forgiving, in my opinion.
He's actually too quick to take someone who literally hated him six months ago.
And say, okay, well, they said something nice about me on social media, you know, in the last 15 minutes, and so I'm going to welcome them in.
I think the guy is too soft.
I think he's too kind.
I think he's too forgiving.
Those are great virtues and great qualities as an individual private citizen, as a private Christian, but not necessarily the best things as a president.
But at the same time, I think God and his providence, by there being two assassination attempts, by the fact that, you know, lawfare and trying to imprison him as a political opposition to Joe Biden through all the legal lawfare, through the assassination attempts, imprisoning his allies, anyone who even Aligned with him.
Throughout all of that, he's still a little bit too forgiving, in my personal opinion, but I think he has wised up a bit.
So, what we're going to do is I'm going to hand it to Wes.
We're going to look at some key points from last night's formal congressional address, which was fantastic.
It was beautiful.
We're going to look at some key points and we're going to try to do what we always do here with Right Response Ministries not just give you the news, because there's plenty of sources that you could go to for that, not the legacy media, but you can find different independent journalists that are conservative that have platforms on X.
And all these things, and it's wonderful.
And I'm grateful for that.
I get a lot of my news through those avenues.
So, we're not just going to give you the news because there's other people who can give it to you faster.
What we're going to do is what we always seek to do, which is to highlight a few key moments to give you some news, but then to do our best to draw out some of the practical implications and provide some of the practical applications.
What does this mean?
Here's some key moments from last night's congressional address, and here's what we think it means for Christians.
This is how we should then live.
This is how we can act accordingly.
If this, then what?
And that's the question that we seek to answer on this channel.
So that's what we're going to do in our first segment.
Then we'll go to our first commercial break.
And when we come back, we're going to deal with what happened right at the beginning of the weekend that we haven't had time to get to yet, which is on Friday, I believe it was, that Zelensky was thrown out on his butt by JD Vance and Donald Trump.
And it was glorious.
And we're going to talk about why that's a good thing, why the Russia Ukrainian war.
Is an absolute travesty.
Over a million dead.
It must stop.
And it's going to stop by Zelensky making the concessions.
He's not winning.
He's not going to win.
The only way you win this war is by dragging all the West into it.
We've been there.
You want to talk about never again principles?
Hashtag never again.
Okay, here's the never again that we actually should put into practice.
The never again principle that should be applied is never again will we have a Western civil war.
We've had enough civil wars.
America had a civil war 160 years ago.
80 years after that, we had a Western American European civil war.
And now you want to do World War III and have a Western civil war again, where we go to war with a Christian nation, I might add, namely Russia.
Zelensky is persecuting and destroying churches, Christian churches in Ukraine.
I understand that everyone wants to think that Putin is a thug.
And for the record, I'm not a Putin fan.
I don't think he's a great guy.
I also don't think that Zelensky is a great guy.
And there are very Clear, specific, and I would argue justifiable, valid reasons why Putin, who was the aggressor, chose to aggress back in 2022.
That when you continue to welcome European countries into NATO, which is the USA, welcome them into NATO and allow for them to have nuclear power and set up military bases, and they're on the border of Russia, and it directly goes against some of the agreements that were put in in the 1990s and the early 2000s, then You are threatening Russia.
If Russia set up military bases with nuclear power on our border in Canada and in Mexico, we would go to war in 15 minutes.
And we'd be justified to do so.
And we'd be justified to do so.
So I'm sorry, Ukraine.
I'm thinking about the Bay of Pigs.
I mean, we took her very seriously.
Yes.
So we know that there are good men and women in Ukraine.
There are wonderful Christian brothers and sisters in Ukraine, but there are also.
It's an 85% Christian nation.
There are also wonderful Christians in.
Russia and what we want to see is peace.
We want to see peace, and here's the deal it's like, well, but if we didn't fight this war, it's like that little interview that happened, you know, with Tucker Carlson.
And who was the guy who was like, Oh, I'm free, you know, I know that I'm free, Piers Morgan.
I know that.
Well, how do you what do you mean you're free?
They're arresting people for memes in your country in Great Britain, you know, like for conservative means.
What do you mean free?
He's like, Well, I'm free because we're speaking English right now instead of German.
But I'll tell you what, for the million people who are dead.
And for all their loved ones that they're remembered by, I bet you they would rather speak Russian.
That probably wouldn't have even been the case.
But had it been, worst case scenario.
And most of them probably already were, especially in the eastern regions.
And many of them were native Russians.
But they would rather speak Russian and have their loved ones back from the grave.
So peace has to happen.
And what it means is concessions for Ukraine.
We are not doing this again.
You want to talk about never again?
Here's your never again moment, right?
You got, what's his name?
Kier Starmer.
Kier Starmer, right?
He literally thinks that this is his Churchill moment.
Yeah, I think it is too.
That is not the bragging thing.
It's the Anakin meme.
Oh, I think it is too.
Yeah.
I think it is too.
Churchill made a mistake, and you are currently making the same mistake.
Peace.
Well, Hitler was bent on global domination.
He didn't just want historic German lands and peoples in Poland.
He wanted to rule the entire world.
That's the same.
Do we not notice the similarity?
It's the same story 80 years later, 160 years before the Civil War in America, 80 years after that.
History works, notices, in 80 year cycles.
It seems to be a theme as far as we're noticing.
Here's something I've noticed.
160 years ago, right?
Civil War in America.
80 years later, World War II.
80 years later now, and we have the potential of World War III, and it looks exactly like World War II.
Well, this person is a tyrant, totalitarian dictator, Hitler, Putin.
He doesn't just want historic Russian lands in Ukraine with native people.
He doesn't just want the historic German lands in Poland.
He's bent on world domination and Every single country in Western Europe must unite against him, which would do what?
That would force Russia's hand, they would immediately gain allyship from China.
Yeah, right.
If you come to, if if if Kier does this, Prime Minister in Great Britain, if he does this and any other nation starts to follow suit with a domino effect, France or whatever it might be, then you are going to see China rally to Russia's aid, and then you have access and ally powers all over again.
Our sons, and because we are wicked, egalitarian, post modernist, it will not just be our sons, it will also be the enlistment of our daughters, conscription.
Of daughters who will go out and bleed for another war for boomers who are trying to LARP as Winston Churchill.
We're done with that.
Never again.
So we will get to that.
I know I already kind of went there, but we will get to that and address some more details.
But first, some key moments, highlight moments of the congressional address last night with Donald J. Trump and some of the practical applications for Christians.
Wes, let's go.
All right.
We're going to jump right into clips.
If you didn't watch it, Which you should have, it was good.
It was also two hours long.
But if you didn't watch it, here's three really great just moments from it.
One of them is a little bit of a black pill because of the implications.
The other two, though, I think are great.
And so, Nate, we'll roll clip one.
This is my fifth such speech to Congress.
And once again, I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud.
Nothing I can do.
So, Democrats sitting before me.
For just this one night, why not join us in celebrating so many incredible wins for America?
For the good of our nation, let's work together and let's truly make America great again.
Beautiful.
JD Vance right behind Trump, that's like me looking at you when you're cooking, and I'm like, look at him work.
Look at the master go.
So there's multiple moments all throughout the night.
That were intended to reach across the aisle.
So he talked about Lakeland Riley.
She was the one who was a young girl brutally murdered by an illegal alien.
There's another girl.
There's also a very touching moment where a young boy who had been diagnosed with brain cancer early on survived for a really long time and Trump hadn't made him an honorary member of the Secret Service.
Lots of great moments that should be able to bring people together and say, at the end of the day, man, I don't like Trump or man, I don't like this.
But here's, we share the same country and one way or another, We're going to have to get along.
In none of those moments, for Lakeland Riley, for this young boy, for anything else, cutting waste, cutting expenditure, all of that, not a single one of them did the Democrats clap.
In fact, one Democrat, this was a representative from Texas, Representative Green, shouted at him for close to five minutes and was ultimately kicked out.
Democrats were holding up signs for different things like save Medicaid, protect our veterans.
And you have to realize, Joel, you didn't.
He was from Texas?
Yeah.
I thought that he was from somewhere in the Middle East.
Well, from.
Texas.
From is a district where his country is elected by a district in Texas.
Yeah, elected by a district in Texas.
And Joel, you posted about this earlier.
Sharing a country with these people is increasingly difficult.
There was kind of the question after the election is the left going to put the woke away?
Are they going to come to the table and say, hey, at the end of the day, you won.
We have to get this country going.
We agree on some basic things.
Like, is there something basic we agree on?
Like, women should be able to jog and not be targeted and killed by those who are in our country illegally.
That people that are 250 years old.
Shouldn't be receiving social security on the government's dime.
Like, are there any of those basic things we can at least agree on?
And it's amazing because their hate, their abject hatred for him, is not going to let that happen.
And it's going to lead to, in many ways, a type of cold civil war here.
I don't think it'll be a hot civil war.
I don't think there'll be literal balkanization.
But it is getting increasingly difficult, whether at the state level, the state legislators, whether it's at the national level, in Congress, in the Senate, with the presidency, increasingly divided, increasingly separated.
I don't know what the future looks like, but I don't think it's going to be the politics of normal.
Remember, we had Barack Obama and we didn't like him then.
So we rallied and came back and we lucked at our own guy.
Those days, the back and forth, the push and pull really might be coming to an end.
And you're seeing the Democrats right now dig in and entrench.
I will not agree with anything that man says.
Little boy with cancer, who cares?
If you're a Democrat, they will not support him.
He had a mega hat on.
I wish he died of it.
Close to.
I mean, yeah.
You can't.
You can't share a country with these people.
The thing is, though, if the beach ball is surfacing, if the rubber band is snapping back, all the analogies that we've been using, if all of that's really happening, if that continues to be the posture of the Democrats, then I asked Stephen Wolf when he was here recording the Christian Nationalism series with you, I said, Is there a new iteration of the left?
And his take was they are incapable of forming a new iteration.
They are done, in his opinion.
They're the chicken running around with their head cut off.
They will not be able to adapt.
And if the nation and if the conservative right wing movement is indeed returning to some sense of natural normalcy, they will not be able to continue to exist.
Which I know, Wes, you said is a black pill because they're entrenched, but maybe there's a red pill in there as well.
Maybe there's a white pill in there as well that the chicken running around is going to have to fall over eventually.
Yeah, I think we'll probably, I mean, it's not my preference, but I think we'll probably continue with the two party system for the foreseeable future.
But those two parties will be radically changed.
I think what we'll actually see is the Republican Party, as we've previously known it in recent decades, kind of this neo Republican, neocon party, and MAGA.
And the neocon, it'll be like you're.
It's not going to be AOC.
It's not going to be Ilhan Omar.
They're going to just shriek and wail into the void for eternity and achieve utter irrelevance.
But what I think it will be is it'll be a bunch of.
People who were previously Republicans in a neocon era, such as your Bushes, your Liz Cheney's, these kinds of individuals who all say, Well, the Republican Party left me.
You know what I mean?
So, kind of similar to your Bill Maher's and so on, like, Well, the leftists, they went so far left that it made me a Republican.
You'll see that in a reverse fashion.
And so they'll end up changing teams and be the new Democrats.
And the new Democrats will basically be the old Republicans.
And then the new party will be actually to the right.
Of what Republicans have been over the last 30 years.
And that'll be MAGA.
And that'll be really great.
And I think that will, you know, they'll fight it out over the next couple of decades.
And my hope and prayers, the neocons that are now the new Democrats, that they'll lose.
And then it'll be MAGA and an emerging party that will actually be to the right of MAGA.
Defiant Baptist and Neocons00:09:10
Boom, that's where we come in.
Right.
And it'll be just this unadulterated, full fledged Christian nationalism that is just so much fascism.
You just can't even stand it.
You just, you know, just absolutely unbelievable.
So.
And people are commenting on that, like, wait a second, like, wait, we're still talking about women's sports as a good thing.
And look, when you said jogging, you weren't talking about women's sports.
So that's the next clip where he talks about actually getting out.
So, but someone mentioned that, like, wait, so we're conservatives and we won, and it's like, we want women's sports just without men.
It's like, well, that's not a very conservative position.
Believe me, we have a long way to go.
But this is the if it was going to, if there's going to be a change, this is what the start of it would look like.
It would look like momentum, it would look like guys holding real positions of power.
Only a few of them at first, only a few guys, Thomas Massey without APAC handlers, only a few state senators, only a few like actually good.
Bills, only a few people saying these things.
That's how it always starts.
So, if the movement's going to start, and at some point, that new right contingent is going to break out from MAGA and say, Well, you were against DEI.
Here's what we're against women serving on the Supreme Court.
We're going farther.
We're the next generation.
This is literally the movement that's going to give birth to that.
So, yes, we have farther to go.
But good things are happening in that that's what you need momentum for that actually to occur.
Real quick, Lion of the North 96, an incredibly insightful and profound comment.
He said, You know what's even dumber?
He's responding to somebody in the chat who said something was dumb.
You know what's even dumber?
There are 120 people that are currently watching that haven't even liked the stream.
S M H. Shake my head.
So true, King.
Lion of the North 96.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
That is absolutely dumb.
There are 120 people who are watching or saying, You know what?
I am not going to help this material get out to more people.
I think that everybody's already conservative.
There's not a single liberal alive in the country that would benefit from this content.
I refuse to like it.
Very few things, very few things are more dumb.
Well said, so true king, lined with the North 96.
Can you scroll up to a comment from I think it's Son of Abraham where he talked about the stories are just emotional manipulation?
Abraham Job.
One more up.
So, Abraham Job said of these moments, so the young boy getting installed as an honorary Secret Service agent, well, these are just token moments and emotional propaganda all to further glorify statism.
We talked about statism.
Last year, it's a good episode.
If you haven't watched it, go back and watch it.
And certainly to a point, I agree.
Like stories are meant to emotionally move us.
Yep.
Here's the difference, though.
What kind of stories did Trump tell?
Well, he told the story of Corey Tempore, who shielded his wife and daughter from bullets and spent his dying breath protecting his family.
No greater love is any man than this that he laid down his life for his friends.
Highlighted the young boy, for example, with cancer.
The girl from Houston.
The girl from Houston as well, who was a victim, celebrating their families, their memories.
We're always going to be telling stories because stories are powerful ways of getting messages across.
So, well, it's a story and it's emotional and it's manipulative.
Well, yeah, that's how God kind of designed human beings to work.
What stories are you telling?
Stories of patriots like Corey, stories of American citizens who were jailed for years on end that he finally brought home.
You tell those stories, and you'll actually get a people that share some level of a cohesive vision and values instead of, I don't even remember.
I think I watched Joe Biden's State of the Union address.
You know, it's probably things like, so and so lived 20 years as a woman and then they discovered their real calling.
But really, though, like those are the stories that others will tell.
And what you tell instead of that is not facts and statistics and studies say, right?
Good stories.
It's not whether but which.
Not whether but which.
There will be stories.
Society and culture is shaped by stories, always has been throughout all of human history.
It's not whether but which.
Will they be good stories or bad stories?
Which stories will we tell?
Defiant Baptist, he says this, we win with stories.
We win.
With culture.
You don't win with tax cuts.
It has been said that facts don't care about your feelings.
It is equally true that people's feelings don't care about facts.
It's like, well, I showed them this chart, and Lord knows we appreciate a good chart, save the president's life.
We got one coming later on.
We've got charts in pretty much every episode that we do.
So we are chart maxing.
We appreciate the facts, statistics and pie charts, and the whole nine yards, get the graphs in there.
All that is helpful.
But it is equally true to say, well, facts don't care about your feelings.
It is equally true to say people's feelings.
Don't care about your facts.
People have to be compelled.
It's not just a matter of the data.
If it was just a matter of the data, no one would vote for a Democrat in the history of forever.
If it was just data, we've had people posting the data and making these things available.
And it's like, oh, well, it's just not enough visibility and people haven't seen it.
No, it's not that enough people haven't seen it, that they haven't seen the facts or heard the facts.
They're not compelled by the facts.
People are compelled.
People are not just.
Computers, we're not talking about AI, we're talking about human beings made in the image of God.
They have souls, they're not just brains on a stick, they are living, breathing souls who have been shaped from before they were even born by generations of their ancestors through narrative, through stories.
And so, yes, um, it's not whether we use stories to compel people, it's which stories and which direction will we compel people.
Um, so yeah, we, yeah, we need.
To have, and Trump is an entertainer, he is, um, and he's a dang good one at that point.
And so, um, I see that as a positive development for uh the GOP that you would have somebody who's not just showing you the facts, but who's actually, uh, he uses humor, he uses stories, he he he grips the heartstrings and begins to pull them.
That is part of his success.
He's not winning despite that, he's winning in many ways because of that.
We need more of that.
Yep, just to throw in a Quote for historical legitimacy here.
Andrew Marvell, who was a Scottish poet, famously once said, Give me the songs of the nation.
I care not who makes the laws.
That's good.
All right.
Let me say this real quick Defiant Baptist, by the way, I wanted to give him a shout out.
We have a whole series of clips that's going to be coming out over the next eight weeks.
We're going to be dropping clips, probably three or four clips, every single week for the next eight weeks.
And they're all kind of bite sized, more palatable pieces of the long form content that I did with.
Pastor Andrew Isker on the series of Israel.
So, you're going to be seeing lots of bite sized, you know, two, three, four, five minute clips appearing on our ex account and also on YouTube.
And Defiant Baptist generously donated his time in order to help us make that happen.
Right now, we're wanting to take Right Response Ministries to the next level.
We're doing everything that we can, but it's kind of we're at that point where it's the catch 22.
It's like if we had more resources, we could do more, but we need to do more in order to get more resources.
And so, We're kind of at the point where pretty much everybody is tapped, including not just with us producing content, but on the tech side of the equation.
Nathan takes pretty much his every waking minute to produce three live streams every single week to make cold opens the day of for each of those live streams.
In addition to that, to also produce and schedule and post the Friday special for us.
And then also, he's coordinating and heading up our conference.
About four to five weeks, April 3rd, 4th, and 5th, the Crisis King Conference.
And so everybody's tapped.
And so I reached out to Defiant Baptist because I've seen him do some video work online.
He does a good job of clipping things.
And I asked him, hey, you know what?
We did the series with Andrew, but sometimes you got to work smarter and not just harder and actually value instead of just producing the next piece of content as much as you can, giving value to the content you've already produced.
We did this series.
It's a great series.
Yes, we're putting it out there one episode at a time in its full length form, but I would also like as much as we can to make it more palatable, perhaps to a different crowd that doesn't watch an hour long video.
And so I asked him if he would take some of his time and clip it up and add a little bit of music to it and, you know, and And put some creativity to it.
And he did that.
And then I took, he got like 25 different clips, and I took them and titled them and wrote descriptions and all these things so that we could post it on YouTube and next.
So you will see those probably three or four clips every single week for the next eight weeks.
And Defiant Baptist deserves the credit for that.
He worked really hard.
So thank you, Defiant Baptist.
All right, let's hit our second clip, Nate.
Two Genders Theory Returns00:02:36
We have removed the poison of critical race theory from our public schools, and I signed an order making it the Official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders male and female.
I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports.
Third way, bro, is hardest hit.
I gotta say.
Yep.
True.
It is encouraging, but also deeply depressing when the president of the United States and the VP are thoroughly to the cultural and political right.
Of major evangelical pastors within Big Eva.
Yep.
And that's just a fact at this point.
Our president, who may or may not actually even be regenerate.
Who's a 90s Democrat.
Right.
Exactly.
A 90s liberal New York Democrat who has posed for pictures with Hugh Hefner.
Right.
All right.
Lest we forget, we're fully aware of his more shortcomings.
I think three.
He's on his third marriage.
And yet, this man, in God's providence, is thoroughly to the right, to the moral right, culturally and politically, of, I would argue, at least half of big Eva, mega church type evangelical pastors in our nation.
And that is interesting.
It's exciting, but it is also pathetic.
Well, and the reason why he's to the right is equally as maybe discouraging.
He's not to their right because he's formed this deep.
Uh, political philosophy or crafted this theological argument, read a lot of Calvin.
He, yep, he's to their right because he just says, Wait a minute, we're supposed to be a nation, we're ruining our nation, we're supposed to love our nation.
Okay, everything I'm gonna do is gonna be in line, either rightly or sometimes wrongly, but it all falls under the umbrella for him of just loving my people and my nation, right?
And the fact that that puts him to the right of the evangelical church, just that conclusion is equally as disheartening and shocking, right.
Leaving Christ Ruins Nature00:03:37
Yeah, he opened his eyes and he said, hmm, grown men crushing the skulls of high school girls in volleyball, in boxing, beating them by five hours in different track races.
Well, that doesn't make sense.
That's stupid.
Literally, like, he doesn't, he's not using some type of chart.
Like, Trump doesn't have time to read.
Just at a gut level, he looks at it and says, no, no, that's stupid.
Two genders?
Well, yeah, of course, duh, that's what God made.
And his ability to just do that surpasses all the theory nerds, all the guys in the university.
Like, well, you know, technically, actually, there's different syndromes, which is awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love it.
Yeah, it is.
There's a return right now in the West.
And I say the West not because the West in this case has been superior, but because the rest of the world didn't need to return because they never left.
But the West is returning to nature.
Those things which can be ascertained and concluded simply by nature.
And this is a biblical principle.
The Apostle Paul, you know, where he says, Does not nature teach you?
That X, Y, Z.
And so there are certain things.
I mean, it's God's world, right?
We don't live in something that's arbitrary or capricious.
We don't live in a world that was made at random out of stardust.
We live in a world that was designed and created by an orderly creator.
And so because God made the worlds, the world operates by God's laws.
And so there is a natural law that can be ascertained by natural man.
It will not be ascertained perfectly because in our sin, left to our own devices, apart from redeeming grace and salvation, becoming a new creature in Christ Jesus, which Can only happen by a miracle of God, the miracle of salvation.
Man will still come to wrong conclusions, but there are still not all wrong conclusions.
Are many right conclusions that natural man can come to simply by studying and observing nature itself?
And at this point, that puts, sadly, to our shame, that puts many non Christians, many unbelievers in our country, squarely to the right of many professing Christians because they're not necessarily returning to Christ, but they are returning to nature.
And the West, because of secular humanism and all these different things, Has abandoned, not only abandoned our Christian heritage, abandoning Christ, apostatizing in a spiritual sense, but we have also abandoned nature.
By leaving Christ, we've left nature itself.
We've thought that we could somehow transcend nature, that we could be above and beyond nature from the Industrial Revolution to the tech boom to all these different innovations.
We thought that we were somehow greater than nature itself, that we didn't have to worship God because we could somehow achieve a godlike status for ourselves.
And And yet, the piper has come and he demands to be paid.
And many are turning back to nature.
And then, in that journey of reverting back to nature, also finding the God of nature, the triune God, the Christian God, and returning to the Christian faith as well.
But many who have allegedly held to the Christian faith all along, in word only and not in deed, are still somehow trying to prop up a manufactured, artificial, Unnatural way of living that does not find root in the scripture.
It does not find its root in human history.
It's a house of cards and it is quickly tumbling down.
Fentanyl, Evil, and Aggression00:08:46
Yeah.
We'll hit our last clip here and then we'll head to our break.
So this is the clip related to Ukraine and what we're about to get to in our second segment.
Earlier today, I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine.
The letter reads Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible.
To bring lasting peace closer.
Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians, he said.
I appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it a little while ago.
Simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with Russia and have received strong signals that they are ready for peace.
Wouldn't that be beautiful?
Wouldn't that be beautiful?
It's time to stop this madness.
It's time to halt the killing.
It's time to end this senseless war.
If you want to end wars, you have to talk to both sides.
Amen.
True.
Anything to add before we hit our first commercial break?
We're going to get his head on all of this, but definitely wanted to share what Trump himself said last night.
Yeah, those are definitely some of the key highlights, and I'm encouraged to see that.
We all, you know, we've said all along, and I think this is just unquestionably true, but I don't think that this war would have happened in the first place if Trump had never left office.
Putin and others on the global stage saw those four years as a window of weakness.
America has been and still is, perhaps to a lesser degree, but I think that we're recuperating as quickly as possible.
But we have been a superpower and we have, in many ways, served as the global police.
And much of that, I think, has actually been at the cost of America first.
I don't know if I'm not an isolationist in the strictest sense.
But I do think that America has her hands in far too many cookie jars and needs to prioritize our own people.
But the point is that we have been a force for peace on the global stage.
And four years of Biden was a window of weakness.
And much of the world's leaders took advantage of that weakness.
But the king has returned.
And with his return comes peace through strength, not peace through concessions and weakness, but peace through.
Through strength.
And so Trump, you know, returning to the global stage and saying enough is enough.
We're going to sort this out.
I think that that's a very, very positive development.
And this, yeah, my biggest regret in all this is it just should have never happened in the first place.
And if it did happen because Putin felt threatened and he felt like he needed to, he needed to, you know, his initial aggression that it had to be done in order to send a message because the West had gotten way too big for its britches and putting, you know, all these border.
Nations on Russia's border into NATO and giving them military bases and all these different powers that are in immediate and close proximity, geographical threat to Russia.
If Putin had to have his initial aggression, I still think that even with that, peace could have been quickly achieved.
From the little bit of study that I've done, it seems as though within like seven to 10 days, there was already an attempt at peace after the initial.
The initial invasion and aggression by Putin.
And Zelensky was the one who walked away from that.
Potentially at the urging of the United States.
At the urging of the United States.
The United States, namely the Biden administration, urged Zelensky not to take any peace deals, not to offer any concessions with Putin, and the promise that we'll give you billions and billions of dollars.
And sadly, they came through with that promise.
And we gave, what is it?
$350 billion to a foreign country.
Meanwhile, our own borders were all, you know, barely even existent.
Fentanyl flooding into the country, foreign military aged men, full fledged invasion.
What's her name?
Riley Aiken?
Is that?
Riley, Riley, Riley Laker.
Laken, right?
Sadly, brutally murdered by someone who didn't belong in the country to begin with.
Yeah, so things are finally getting back on track.
And I just, I don't know.
I mean, it's fairly obvious, but I just think it's worth pointing out.
You know, when Trump says, Hey, I got a call from Zelensky, he said this.
Also, I'm hearing from Putin that he's willing to negotiate peace.
If we think that this is a coincidence, then, you know, I've got some oceanfront property in Kansas I would like to sell to you.
No, it's not a coincidence.
It's because Trump is back.
That's the only reason.
Because Trump is back.
The things that are happening now are not happening by coincidence.
They're happening now and they could have happened all along, but the Democrats didn't do it.
Why are people not flooding into?
Would I like to see deportations multiplied by exponential numbers?
Yes.
Let's give it some time, have a little patience.
But yes, we need to get deportations ramped up massively.
But in terms of who's coming in, we've actually stopped the bleeding immediately at our borders.
And we didn't do it with something passed by Congress or some new law.
The existing laws are.
On the books were sufficient in order to do the job if you wanted to, right?
The purpose of an institution is what it does.
It's what it does.
And the Democrats, for four years, they could have stopped the invasion at our southern border.
They chose not to.
Their hands were not tied behind their back because of some kind of legislation.
The laws that were currently on the books were more than sufficient.
The reason that Republicans held up the law that the Democrats were proposing towards the end of Biden's administration. Was because that law was actually more lenient in how many people it allowed across the border than the law that was currently on the books.
That's why the Republicans and the Democrats use that through their propaganda to say, well, we wanted to stop the influx of foreigners coming across the border.
But look, the Republicans say they want the border to be defended, and yet they won't even sign this.
But yeah, they won't sign the bill because the current law that you already have is actually more restrictive.
It's actually better, and you're not doing anything with that.
They wanted a new bill.
That basically would require them to shave off 10% of the immigration, whereas what they should have been doing was shaving off 90%, 90% plus with the pre existing laws.
And so all this, from immigration to fentanyl to crime on the streets to the Russia Ukrainian war, all of these things, what we're finding out just in the first few weeks of Trump's.
Presidency is that all of these things were preventable.
It's not, you know, never, never, you know, chalk up to malice what could be explained by stupidity.
That's a good principle.
In this case, it does not apply.
The Democrats are evil.
They are evil.
They're not that stupid.
No one is that stupid.
They are stupid.
They are stupid, but they're not that stupid.
They could have ended the war with Russia and Ukraine.
They could have ended the flood of immigration at our southern border.
They could have gotten fentanyl.
Out of our country, they could have lowered crime at every single level.
This was not stupidity, this was unadulterated, unmitigated malice.
It was sinister, it was wicked, it was evil.
You saw the policies from Governor Newsom to say, like, hey, you know what, when you're robbing CVS, just make sure to rob under whatever it was $900 or something.
Like, it was literally giving the full green light to wickedness around the world, to foreign leaders.
To invaders, to criminals on our street at every single level, it was saying, You've got four years, please do as much damage to our nation and all the other nations of the world for that matter.
Do as much damage as you possibly can.
We're not foolish, we're evil.
We are asking you to destroy the world.
We're giving you the green light.
Gay Weddings and Consent Issues00:12:51
Go, go, go.
And what we're seeing over these past five, six, seven weeks with Trump is that it was all by design, it was all intentional, it was not happenstance.
The purpose of an institution is not what it's called, but what it does.
What it does, and what the Democrats do is ruin the world.
That's what they do.
All right, commercial break.

Welcome back to a White Pill Wednesday.
Is it Wednesday?
It's Wednesday.
Oh my goodness.
You said it's Wednesday for a second.
I was like, shoot, is it?
Is it Thursday?
You're right.
Nope, it's Wednesday.
We're going to hit just quickly.
This is from Kevin Ice.
He gave a super chat, $49.99.
$50 super chat, man.
That's generous.
Thank you, Kevin.
Thank you.
And he attached a question to it.
It's a good question.
We're going to hit it quickly just so Kevin, I don't know if you have dinner.
You might have to jump out early.
So we answer this question that you left and you're able to hear our answer.
He said this Kevin said, I know Christians should not go to a homosexual wedding.
He put it in quotation marks for anyone listening.
Yes and amen.
What about a heterosexual wedding, a man and a woman, where the parties are living slash sleeping together in unrepentant sin?
Both would identify as Christians.
Is this compromising or a double standard?
And he said, in this case, it's my brother.
Nope.
It's not compromise.
It is not a double standard.
A heterosexual wedding for two people who are currently fornicating or have been fornicating of the opposite sex, and especially if both are professing to be Christians, then they have been in sin, but the wedding is not sin.
There's a difference between having sinned and sinning.
Having sinned and sinning.
The wedding is not the continuance of sin, it is the resolution to the previous sin.
So, no, that would be.
Perfectly fine because if it's two people now, if they're both professing to be Christians, maybe this is the case.
That's what he said, but if they're both, yeah, but they could both be professing to be Christian.
I know he says that, but what I was going to say is if they're both professing to be Christians and say, Yeah, we shouldn't have done this, but we want to make it right and get married, and from here on until the wedding, you know, even if it's just a few days, we're going to do our best to be all right, better late than never.
Praise God, where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.
But if they added to that, and so this is now I'm reading into the question more than was actually there, but if they were.
Saying on top of that, you know, we were promiscuous, you know, and we had fornicated with one another and we're professing Christians and we actually think that there was nothing wrong with that.
Well, then that would be unrepentant sin, right?
So they're not owning it, acknowledging it, and seeking to repent of it.
But yet, still, even in that case, the wedding itself is not a sinful act.
The reason why we don't go to a same sex wedding is because the wedding itself is a sin.
The wedding itself.
And a sin.
Yep.
Illegitimate and a sin.
And by your presence, here's the other thing that a lot of.
Christians don't understand about weddings because we've taken a lot of the old ancient proverbial wisdom and beauty and symbolism out of modern wedding ceremonies.
But historically, what a wedding signified, the reason why it wasn't just done out in the woods by yourselves, or if it was, it was a very unusual time period, like St. Valentine when marriages were made illegal by the king, and so you were having to get married in secret, or like a William Wallace kind of situation, Braveheart.
But throughout most of history, unless it was some kind of extenuating circumstances, weddings always had guests, and the guests are not merely guests, but they serve as witnesses.
And that's a very intentional term right there.
Witnesses.
And there's usually a part, at least traditionally there was, especially within the Christian tradition, where there's a section in the wedding ceremony, in the liturgy, where the minister who's performing the wedding would say, Do all you here witnessing promise, do you give your vow, your word to do all within your power?
By the grace of God within you to uphold these two persons in holy matrimony.
So I always say that when I'm officiating weddings for members in our church, I'll go to the groom first, right?
So the man's going to lead, and then the bride, the wife, is going to respond.
And so I'll first go to him with the vows, do you promise in sickness and in health, for richer or for poor?
And he says, I do, or I will.
And then to her, the bride, now, do you take this man to be your, and I will.
And then thirdly, I don't just stop there.
There's a third character in the scene, right?
So it's groom.
It's bride, and now it's congregation, witnesses.
And then I say, To all you witnessing these vows, do you too, do you also vow to do all within your power to uphold these two people in holy matrimony?
Please respond by saying, We do, or We will.
And the congregation, those who are present in the wedding, say, We will.
So they're not just spectating.
That's my point.
By virtue of attending a wedding, you are not merely a guest and you are not merely spectating, but you are participating as a witness.
You are actually giving your consent.
And that's in the positive, as I just stated.
If not in that, then surely you've probably been privy to an example where that same principle is conveyed in the negative.
What do I mean by that?
A portion of the wedding liturgy where the one officiating would say, if anyone objects to these two being joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.
Well, if you're sitting there in a gay wedding, and for those who are listening only, I'm putting the biggest quotation marks on gay wedding.
It's a.
It's a misnomer.
It's not a legitimate wedding, but a gay wedding, if you are sitting there and they say, speak now or forever hold your peace and you don't speak out, then by virtue of your silence, is giving your consent.
You're saying, I am giving, I am bearing witness and giving my consent, my affirmation to this wedding.
So by your mere attendance, you are actually, you're not just spectating, but you are participating and giving your consent.
And so then the question is, can you consent to a gay wedding?
No.
Can you consent to a heterosexual wedding with two Christians, or, and I'll add, this isn't the question, but I'll add for that matter, or two non Christians?
Because marriage is not given exclusively to the church.
It is given to humanity, right?
If two Muslims get married, is that a legitimate marriage?
Yes.
If two atheists get married of the opposite sex, of adult age with consent, is that a legitimate marriage?
Yes, it is a legitimate marriage.
The only illegitimate marriage is when Two people of the same sex are getting married, or a believer to an unbeliever, unequally yoked.
So, if both of them.
Well, you would still say that's legitimate marriage, wouldn't you?
Yes, but that's one that you should, if you're present, I think you should object to.
Okay.
Yeah.
I think you should object because the believing individual, whether it be the bride or the groom, is about to, it's not just that they have sinned, right, being promiscuous leading up to the marriage, but they are about to sin.
They're about to sin.
And so you are giving your consent to sin because 1 Corinthians, I believe it's chapter 7, specifically says, do not marry an unbeliever.
And so you would literally, by your presence without objecting, right?
They say, speak now or forever hold your peace.
If you're holding your peace, then you actually giving your affirmation as a Christian before God for that man, if he's a Christian, to sin by marrying an unbelieving woman, or by that woman, the bride, if she's a Christian, to sin by marrying an unbelieving man.
So you could not be present because your mere presence without verbally, out loud, publicly objecting, your mere presence is not mere speculation, spectating, but it is.
Participating, it is giving consent, and you cannot give your consent to a same sex wedding.
You also cannot give your consent to a wedding between a Christian and an unbeliever, but you can give your consent to a heterosexual wedding between two Christians, even if they have previously sinned, or two non Christians if they have previously sinned.
That's still a legitimate wedding.
Could you be a groomsman?
Kevin asks, not to open this up.
We got to get to Ukraine, but just Kevin, who asked the same guy in Super Chat, could you even be a groomsman at that wedding?
That's everything I just said, and now you're just making it even worse.
No, in the married couple who's been sleeping together.
Oh, but they both profess to be Christians and they're heterosexual.
It's a marriage.
But they are unrepentant.
I would say yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah, especially.
And all I would say pastorally is I would just counsel you, come and I would just say, go and talk.
Is it his brother?
It's his brother.
I go and talk to your brother beforehand and say, hey, look, you profess to be a Christian.
Do you agree that being sexually immoral with this woman before marriage is a sin?
Right.
And I bet he'll say, yeah, I probably shouldn't have done that.
And say, okay, do you?
And so you don't have to publicly say on your wedding day or anything.
Private sins should be privately confessed.
Public sins should be publicly confessed.
So, unless every single person at the wedding has prior knowledge that the two of you have, you know, I think you said they're living together.
That's the tough part.
So, everybody does have knowledge.
Everybody knows.
Well, then, you know what?
He should at least confess to you, Kevin, as his brother.
You go and lovingly confront him, and he should at least be able to say to you, yeah, I profess to be a Christian, and therefore, by virtue of being a Christian, I believe the Bible.
The Bible plainly says that this is a sin, and I was wrong to do that.
But I want to make it right by marrying this woman and making vows to her, then that should be able to assuage your conscience.
And if it's publicly known, it sounds like it is because they've been cohabitating and everybody has knowledge, then I would maybe go one step further.
I wouldn't necessarily make this a condition for being a groomsman, but I would just doing your Christian duty and your brotherly duty on top of that.
I would go one step further and say, This is publicly known by everybody by virtue of you cohabitating with this woman.
And I would encourage you.
That if you are a Christian who loves the Lord Jesus Christ and believes that the Bible is his infallible word, and the Bible clearly forbids what you've been doing by cohabitating before marriage with this woman, I would encourage you, for all those who are aware of your cohabitating situation, I would encourage you to, you know, not that it has to be done out loud on your wedding day, not that it has to be done in the next 15 seconds, but I would encourage you to take time over the next whatever.
It could be weeks, it could even be months, but to make the rounds eventually as you have time to do it and to bring that up in conversation with each person who had prior knowledge, who knew that you were cohabitating.
Say, hey, by the way, I know that you knew that we were cohabitating before marriage.
And I just want to say part of the reason I married this girl is because I love her and because I believe that I need to follow Jesus and it was the right thing to do.
And cohabitating was the wrong thing to do.
And I'm sorry for that.
So, you know, you could challenge the situation with that.
But it is distinctly different.
Cohabitation Before Marriage Confession00:05:17
Yeah.
From a gay wedding.
It's not a double standard.
Because people, and I don't know if Kevin ran into this, but liberal Christians will throw that scenario at Bible believing Christians and say, well, you have a double standard and you're being hypocritical.
No, it's not.
One's not.
Yeah.
That's right.
All right.
So Ukraine, back to it.
I'm going to read this quote.
This is from the Telegraph because I want to set the stage for where we are in the Russia Ukrainian war.
February 2nd, 2022.
The war kicked off, and so we just hit the three year mark.
So in November 2024, Joe Biden is still in office.
He's on the way out.
The Telegraph wrote this Ukraine's front line is crumbling against Russian advances, one of Kiev's generals has admitted.
He blamed Ukrainian weakness along the front lines on a shortage of ammunition, problems with military recruitment, and poor leadership, and also said that Mr. Zelensky's victory plan was too heavily focused on pleading with Western allies for more support.
He goes on, This plan lacks any points addressing Ukraine or our needs, Gerald Marchenko said.
Mr. Zelensky has presented his plan to Joe Biden and various European leaders, but it was largely dismissed as a wish list for more Western weapons rather than a master plan to defeat the Kremlin.
Again, that's from the Telegraph, November 2024.
As it stands right now, Ukraine is going to lose this war.
We're not really taking a side on this.
This is just an objective fact.
And the only thing that's going to stop that is going to be the interjection of massive amounts of Western capital.
Ukraine is smaller, they have a smaller GDP, they have a smaller military.
Russia is bigger, Russia is more advanced, Russia is tenacious.
They're going to probably win this war, right?
Reddit hardest hit.
So, on that backdrop, let's show clip four of Zelensky, JD Vance, duking it out in the White House.
About the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country.
Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.
Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.
You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict.
Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?
I have been to.
You've come once.
I have actually watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President.
Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military?
I have problems.
And do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?
A lot of questions.
Let's start from the beginning.
Sure.
First of all, during the war, everybody has problems.
Even you.
But you have a nice ocean and don't feel now.
But you will feel it in the future.
God bless.
You don't know that.
God bless.
You're not having war.
Don't tell us what we're going to feel.
We're trying to solve a problem.
Don't tell us what we're going to feel.
I'm not telling you what we're going to feel.
Because you're in no position to dictate that.
Remember this.
You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.
We're going to feel very good.
We're going to feel very good and very strong.
You're right now not in a very good position.
You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right about it.
From the very beginning of the war, you're not in a good position.
You don't have the cards right now.
With us, you start having cards.
Start playing cards.
Right now, you don't have your playing cards.
You're gambling with the lives of millions of people.
You're gambling with World War III.
You're gambling with World War III.
And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country.
That's back to you.
Far more than a lot of people said they should have.
Have you said thank you once this entire meeting?
No, in this entire meeting, have you said thank you?
No, today.
You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October.
Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who's trying to save your country.
Please, you think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you can't.
He's not speaking loudly.
He's not speaking loudly.
Your country is in big trouble.
Can I ask you something?
No, no.
You've done a lot of talking.
Your country is in big trouble.
I know.
You're not winning.
You're not winning this.
You have a damn good chance of coming out okay because of us.
Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong.
From the very beginning of the war, we've been alone.
And we are thankful.
I said thanks in this cabinet.
We gave you, through this stupid president, $350 billion.
You won.
We gave you military equipment.
You won.
And your men are brave, but they had to use our military equipment.
What about the U.S. government?
If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks.
In three days.
I heard it from Putin.
In three days.
This is something we need.
Maybe less.
In two weeks.
Of course, yes.
It's going to be a very hard thing to do business like this.
I tell you.
All right.
I did one clip instead of kind of breaking it up in three different ones to see just the bulk of the interaction.
And it really comes down to the United States holds the cards.
Uncle Andrew and Logical Skepticism00:03:18
Just to backtrack, we hit on this in the beginning, but maybe you're just tuning in for kind of this Ukraine part.
Actually, a great conversation with a good listener whose family's from Ukraine.
So I was able to ask him, like, what are the people there?
The salt of the earth, the Christians.
Ukraine is 85% Christian.
And again, that would be a type of Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
But they're not majority Muslim.
They're not majority atheist.
They're not majority Jewish.
So it's a majority Christian country.
And he said that on the ground there, it's rough.
And there's not a lot of support for the war.
Is it a majority Christian country because many of them historically are Russian?
Yes.
Because Russia.
But there is no Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Now?
No.
Because Zelensky canceled that and made the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which is the church that he put in power.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church is at least older than that.
Okay.
Because Orthodoxy predated the communist revolutions.
You had the Bolsheviks, you had communism.
Even that.
I mean, is it far fetched for me to assume that that probably still came at once upon a time?
Maybe it was hundreds of years ago, but came out of Russia?
Okay, absolutely.
Like, my point is, I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not denying that Ukraine is largely a Christian nation.
But I think what I'm just trying to point out is that it's important that, you know, because everybody from the beginning, you know, had this.
I just think it was just so much propaganda, you know?
So, like, from the very beginning, I was pretty outspoken.
You know, against everybody, you know, like people were at restaurants were taking, you know, uh, Russian, you know, uh, off of the menu, you know, everything like that, and stores were taking it up.
And from the very beginning, I didn't know all the facts, but I remember I said this I just quoted C.S. Lewis when in doubt, you know, what you're gonna do?
Just quote C.S. Lewis.
But I, you know, I happened to just be going through the Chronicles of Narnia with my kids at night, and um, and we had just read uh, the line The Witch in the Wardrobe, and there's the point where Uncle, is it Andrew?
Yeah, Uncle Andrew.
Is talking with, I believe it's Peter and Susan, the two oldest children, and Edmund and Lucy, for whatever reason, aren't in that scene.
And they're saying, Uncle Andrew, we're like, we don't know what to do.
Our sister Lucy thinks that she's found a whole other world inside of your wardrobe upstairs with trees, and she's met a talking fawn and all this kind of.
And he says, Really?
Tell me more about it.
And they're like, Well, she's mad.
And he's like, No, tell me about this world.
But then they're like, well, you don't actually believe her, do you?
And he said, well, I don't know.
Let's think about it logically.
He said, do they not teach logic in school anymore?
Well, logically, it's impossible.
And he said, okay, well, so your brother, Edmund, he says that it doesn't exist.
And he's usually the truthful one, isn't he?
And they're like, no, actually, this would be the first time.
He's a deadbeat.
Edmund is a loser until Aslan redeems him.
No, he always lies.
And they're like, and Lucy, is she typically the deceitful one?
No, she always tells the truth.
He's like, well, then logically, you should assume she's telling the truth.
So I just did the reverse engineering.
I was like, you know, the Biden administration was like, well, this is what's happening in 2022, and Russia this and Russia that, and they're so bad.
And I was like, well, it's Biden.
Russia: Deeply Christian or Corrupt00:04:56
Right.
He's telling me this.
Right.
It's CNN.
Yeah.
So Russia's probably, you know, at worst, war is complicated and there's probably equal faults on both sides.
At best, Russia's a deeply Christian nation.
And maybe it's because we push them into the brink of war by going back on all of our treaties that we had over decades, saying that we want to bring all these border countries into NATO and give them military bases.
So, anyway, so from the very beginning, I was skeptical.
And so, anyways, I just bring that up to say that I think there was so much propaganda from the outset of Russia's bad.
You know, we're taking Russian, you know, Moscow mules off the menu in our restaurants.
We're all boycotting Russia.
We hate Russia.
We're talking about the ghost of Kiev.
Right.
But if you're a Christian, it should matter.
It should matter if a nation is Christian.
Russia is a deeply Christian nation.
It is.
And it's like, well, so is Ukraine.
Yeah.
And the only point that I'm trying to bring up is I don't know all the history on this.
I'm speaking out of turn, but I'm confident to do so.
This is why.
Because I've been around the block once or twice.
And sometimes I just conclude and then.
A lot of times it turns out to be true.
So I'm going to conclude and say that, yeah, Ukraine is also a Christian nation, and most of their Christianity they probably got from Russia.
Yep.
That's all I'm saying.
Communism did a number on Moscow, sometimes called the Third Rome, because it was a center of Christianity when you had the Crusades and a lot of invasion by the Tsars in the Middle Ages.
So a lot of Christianity actually escaped up to Moscow.
It was kind of called the Third Rome.
So it was a deeply Christian history, and the Bolsheviks exploited the tension between essentially the worker and the ruling class.
So that led to the downfall of the Tsars.
The Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, and it takes till 1991, which is also when Ukraine becomes a state, for them to basically get out of the communist, atheist, godless kind of stint.
The recovery to Christianity has been pretty impressive.
But Russia, again, would be categorized as majority Christian.
It's very much so agnostic at the state level.
So there was a case a couple of years ago where the Bhagavad Gita was trying to be banned.
Like, are we going to ban use and reading of this?
And the Supreme Court said no.
All religions have.
The right and the freedom, you know, my sacred pluralism.
But as far as religion goes, Christianity, as far as perversion goes, they have been very resistant to the madness coming out of the West.
Right.
When it comes to transgenderism, LGBTQ, even propaganda around effeminacy, all those different things, Russia has not bought into that.
Now, Ukraine, of course, is very much so westernized in its values and all that.
We'll get to the problems with its democracy that the US supplanted in a minute.
But you do have Russia, which is a generally speaking Christian nation, a very nationalist nation.
What about Christian nationalism?
It's nationalist.
There's a country that's also Christian, but I guess part of the reason I feel confident in saying that Russia.
I'd like to think that in many ways it's more Christian just because Zelensky, like, I don't know all the facts, but one thing that I do know is Zelensky is burning churches.
Yep.
Right.
Like, he suspended elections.
The Ukrainian people might be deeply Christian.
Yes.
But their government and Zelensky, particularly, is not Christian.
And like I said, he supplanted the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with the new Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
So he.
Kind of like China did with the three self tests.
Yes.
Like, oh, China, you know, the communist, you know, Chinese party, they're fine with Christianity.
We've changed our ways.
You can be Christian, but you have to be in a state sanctioned, approved, the only one Christian church.
So then it's like there's the underground actual Christian church, you know, that's still hiding in China.
And then the three self church that's Christian, but it's the doctrine is dictated by the state.
And you can look into some of those things and see that, like, they neuter the Bible.
They've changed the Ten Commandments in China.
And so the point before we go to our second segment is China, Zelensky, tomato, tomato.
When you think about Ukraine and Russia, Think of the people of Ukraine.
Don't think of its corrupt ruling class.
Don't think of Hunter Biden, who did a lot of business there.
Zelensky actually fired one of the investigators that was looking into it.
There's a lot of corruption at the elite level.
But the people of Ukraine, I genuinely feel for because they are a Christian people, as we mentioned, and they also just love their place.
They are people that have been there for centuries, that have worked and labored and toiled.
That's their home, and it's being destroyed right now.
So these puppets on the world stage can get photo ops with one another, can talk big about A new future and mud democracy, which turns out he wasn't even really democratically put there in the first place.
But it's the people that have died by the millions.
Nate, you can show this chart.
This is the biggest ground war.
Financial Dominion for Christians00:03:19
Let's get it.
I know I had to get one in.
Oh, my.
Oh, my.
This is the biggest ground war.
This is.
Wow.
And that death toll is mostly speaking of military, civilians, wounded, others, is much higher.
This is the biggest ground war since World War II.
Since World War II.
Wow.
So in 80 years, the death toll from this is catastrophic.
And we mentioned the Christian part, they're Slavic peoples too.
They're closely related.
And so I see this much more, not as go Russia, go Ukraine, but like a tragedy that all of these people have died, destruction, brother wars.
Yep.
And some of them in the EU, Britain leading the way, they've looked at this and they've said, why not more?
Dude, what's his name again?
Keir?
Keir Starmer.
Starmer.
Which is the most British name ever.
It is.
Second to Muhammad.
Well, that's not great, Brent.
That's only in London.
That's, yeah, but wow, for now.

US Meddling Started the Cold War00:14:18
All right.
So, in this final segment, I want to get into some of the history of Ukraine as a state because it's absolutely fascinating.
And when I think you really get into it, you kind of see that it was the U.S. and the EU in the first place that precipitated this conflict many years later.
So, Ukraine becomes an independent state in 1991.
That's when the Soviet Union falls.
The Soviet Union, obviously, union implying.
There are multiple states, but they operated kind of under this grand apparatus.
Some autonomy, but they were all essentially puppet states.
So, 1991 happens.
Ukraine breaks off and it becomes its own type of autonomous state.
You have Crimea there in the south.
It's part of just breaking up the Soviet bloc, right?
Yep, exactly.
It breaks up and so you have Ukraine.
And it's generally been a democratic country since then.
It's had its president, an executive branch, a similar type of arrangement with judges and everything like that.
Leading up to 2014, the government of Ukraine was largely generally pro Russia.
Ukraine supplies a lot of energy to Russia, and so they had favorable agreements.
Now, there's obviously NATO expansions coming from the east.
That's not necessarily Ukraine's doing, but coming from the east that Putin wasn't happy with.
But as far as the countries themselves, the president was relatively neutral to pro Russia, same thing with parliament, and they had basically a good deal worked out.
A snap parliamentarian election was called in 2014.
The US, through the EU and also through its ambassador, We were heavily, heavily involved.
It would take a couple hours to go through all the details of the money and the arrangements, but there's literally a call, it's very famous, where Victoria Newland is on the phone talking about who do we want instead?
Instead of the existing president.
Exactly.
So instead of the existing, relatively pro Russia, democratically elected president, who was not perfect for the record, he was a little bit corrupt and all of that, but he was who the people selected.
I mean, after all, it's Ukraine.
Yeah, I agree.
It actually, corruption is a big problem out there.
That's my problem.
Like with elections and stuff like that.
Yeah.
Putin definitely just like he rewrote the constitution to serve multiple terms.
In Russia, you mean?
In Russia, yeah.
Like that's just what happens.
So, the democratically elected president was basically ousted by the money and the influence that came from the West.
And what was installed then was a government that was much more favorable to Western values.
And Zelensky comes in in 2019.
And it's not even three years later that the separation has kind of been established.
The conflict has been pushed to a head.
Separation between Russia and Ukraine.
Exactly.
Russia and Ukraine.
The divide grows with a pro Western government.
And so you look back and, like, where did this split happen?
Where did this state that was similar in people, similar in places in language, Similar in religion, similar in industry.
When did this split happen?
When did they come to see themselves as so distinct and separate that there was this need for an invasion that's killed over a million people?
Oh, it started when the West, under the Obama regime, started meddling in elections all over the world.
Who can we get in place?
Who will be favorable?
Who would, I don't know, this is hypothetical, fire investigators and prosecutors for then Vice President Joe Biden's son?
Who would want a government like that?
Oh, Are meddling elites.
They're not going to war.
But, Wes, there's no way, there's no money or resources or anything like that available for staging these international coups.
I mean, that's kind of far fetched, I would say.
Right.
There would be no entity with a budget, I don't know, like $40 billion a year that flows to different NGOs.
There would be nothing like that, like an agency for international development, like something like that.
None of that hasn't existed, right?
That's literally exactly as best we know.
And some of this is just common knowledge.
This is not like conspiracy.
Like, we're back with the pictures and the dots.
Like, and someone even said it there in the chat.
He's like, I'm from Belarus, and Ukraine is a majority Christian country.
The problem started after Maiden, the Euro Maiden protests.
That's when the Obama's and Europe's degenerate influences started.
Yep.
Connor Suba said that.
Yep.
And he said it with a $28.
Awesome super chat.
God bless you.
And he has another super chat.
My man.
We will get to Connor.
Okay.
We'll get to that.
But he's exactly correct.
A lot of this blood is at the feet, at some level, of the meddling.
That we in the West have done with these different nation states.
And so, guys, like these ideas, these actions, they have consequences.
These two countries, the war that they're in, we don't know what literally would have happened, but in many ways was probably precipitated by our meddling and our influence.
Yeah, it seems, it really does seem like more than it being Ukraine's fault, it seems like it's our fault.
The U.S. largely pushed Putin to this.
And again, I know I've beaten a dead horse at this point, but it just seems like a crying shame.
That, like, I understand.
I mean, I understand historically, like the Cold War.
Like, I get that we have not had great relations with Russia, you know.
So I don't want to sound like I'm just completely, you know, uneducated and naive here.
I understand why historically, you know, we may not be on the best terms with Russia.
I'm aware of Reagan.
I'm aware of, you know, these things.
But man, like, what's going to happen is that Russia is going to ally with China.
Right.
And it's just, I don't know, it just seems wrong.
It just seems sad that, like, a Christian nation.
That really actually does have a grasp of the things that we talk about all the time in terms of nature.
Yeah.
Like Putin understands nature.
Like he does.
He understands, like, yeah, he understands power.
Yeah, he understands power.
He's like, Putin is not putting, you know, he's not going to be like, hey, you know what, let's get all the theater kids and make them kings and queens and princes, you know, and rule.
Like that's an artificial manipulation.
Like that's dumb.
So it's like, here's a guy who understands natural law, a guy who, Who's leading a largely Christian nation and has their best interest at heart?
Yeah, he's a nationalist.
He loves nationalists.
His objection, like, I realized the political and the military invasion was largely because of NATO and the West's incursion on their borders.
But he also has been very outspoken about resisting the moral filth that's coming out of the West as well.
That's right, man.
For the sake of his people.
That's right.
And so to drive him into the arms, like a Christian nation, to drive a Christian nation into the arms of atheist communist China, just seems like a shame.
China should have no allies.
We should not be.
We should not be trying to recruit Christian countries to serve as future allies for China.
But that's essentially what we've done by threatening Russia and all this.
Zelensky is terrible, absolutely terrible.
But it sounds like he wouldn't even be in power if it wasn't for us.
Yeah, very likely.
Let's play a clip from the oft mentioned.
It's like, what did you get out of it?
Well, you know what?
We got a black president.
By golly.
You know, so at the end of the day, you know, when you really wait, it's like a million dead.
I mean, come on, guys, let's be serious for a million people dead with the Russia Ukrainian war because Zelensky is insane and all the NATO and, you know, border countries right up against Russia with military bases.
We'd do the same thing, you know, if there was, you know, all of a sudden Canada, you know, right on the border had a military base of Russia, you know, with its guns pointed towards us.
But, you know, all that kind of stuff happened because of this new, you know, snap election, you know, oligarch power in Ukraine that we ultimately established.
And when did we do it?
We did a lot of it during the Obama administration.
And what did we get out of the deal?
Well, we got to sleep at night knowing that we're not racist.
We did it.
We got a black president.
And it was worth it.
Million dead, one black president, arguably one of the worst presidents in our history.
And in true American fashion, I've got to say, worth it.
I feel good.
All right.
Yeah.
Let's play this last clip.
The first priority of this government, of any government, is the security and safety of the British people, to defend the national interest.
particularly in these volatile times.
That's why last week I announced the biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War.
That's also why I met President Trump last week, to strengthen our relationship with America, an indispensable partner in defence and security.
And it's why this weekend I've been hosting European leaders here in London, to work together For the security of the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Europe as a whole.
We are at a crossroads in history today.
This is not a moment for more talk.
It's time to act, time to step up and lead, and to unite around a new plan for a just and enduring peace.
So that was British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
He's only been in since 2024.
And after Zelensky got booted from the White House, he immediately set course for Europe.
And so he landed at the UK.
He met with the king.
He met with Keir Starmer.
And what Keir Starmer did was he gathered a number of the G7 and extended nations.
So you saw there the French president, Macron.
You saw Maloney from Italy, Canada as well.
And they've come together.
And he basically promised over the weekend we'll see what the exact details are but he promised the biggest commitment yet to arms and to armor.
And also potentially the planes and troops to enforce a type of peace treaty.
So, if there was a temporary ceasefire, he was essentially saying if there was a ceasefire and we could make it happen, we'd put our planes and our troops there to make sure it wasn't broken as a deterrent, which would be the closest step yet to bringing Europe into the conflict.
I looked and pulled some of these statistics.
So, you think about Britain, and you're like, well, I'm sure that military is full of, I mean, England is very diverse, so I'm sure it's full of Mohammed and Patel.
Oh, no, it's 88% Anglo.
So, you have Keir Starmer, who he himself is not Jewish, but his wife is, and they've committed in their home.
He said, We are raising our children Jewish.
You have Zelensky, who is Jewish.
This is not hidden.
This is not obscure.
This is a well known fact.
He said, I want to make Ukraine into the new Israel.
Right.
So, you have the Jewish prime minister, and at least adherents of England, of Ukraine.
Jewish religiously.
Jewish religiously.
Yep.
Zelensky, ethnically, racially, religiously.
Exactly.
Fiscally.
Everywhere you could possibly be, with degeneracy, but begging.
But and to do what to take Christian Anglo sons, yep, to die.
Yes, exactly.
You have Jews orchestrating a war among two Christian nations, predominantly white Christian nations, Russia and Ukraine, and then taking the few white Christian young men left.
In Great Britain, that have been concentrated in the military, they concentrated because they were conservative, and yep, it's half the size of our town, it's like half the size of our town, the whole military to die.
At least, uh, not some of the royal guard, but their actual army itself is not big.
You got to get out of here.
This is insane.
Then we, I feel like you talk about never again.
This is how to apply the never again principle.
This is a thing, no more banker wars, no more brother wars, no more Christian wars, no more eradicating white people, no more like.
Stop it.
Every single time.
And here's what I want to say.
People say, well, it's Zion Don, Donald Trump.
At the end of the day, by God's grace, it does not look like the U.S. will be in it.
When you lay your head at the pillow at night, I have to say, I'm very thankful.
My brother, I've said this before, he's in the airborne.
Like, if the U.S. started putting troops in the ground, my brother would be over there defending the right of Kiev to hold gay pride parades.
Like, legitimately, that's how close we were in November.
A couple million votes here and there.
It would have been a different story.
And you don't think.
Kamala Harris and Joe Biden would have been happy for more weapons, more ammunition, more bombs, and eventually, possibly, troops.
Totally would have done it.
There's lots of reasons to blackpill, but Trump and Vance kicking him out of the White House and saying, We want peace.
End the killing.
You're not going to get everything you want.
It's called war.
There's always a loser.
But we want to end the killing, and we're not going to go along with Britain and France and Canada.
All of them that seem to be all in on this were not doing it.
So, how long until there's the Ukrainian attack on the U.S. disguised as Russians to pull us into the war?
That playbook hasn't been there, done that.
Yep.
Bought the t shirt.
I could see it.
I could see it.
Hopefully not.
Yep.
All right.
Any other thoughts on this?
I love Storytime with Wes.
Yeah.
It's one of my favorite times.
It was fascinating.
I spent a number of hours just into that.
Yeah.
No, you came prepared.
You brought, you took us to school.
I appreciate it.
Yep.
But they're good people in the Ukraine, like many of them.
Not the elites, not the Zelensky.
Not the leaders, but yeah.
But I mean, these are fathers.
These are guys, Joel, probably your dad's age, my dad's age.
Being dragged by the force.
That's crazy.
There's a guy with a military age of men.
There's a 60 year old.
Like 40, 50, 60 year old men being dragged by the force.
Did you just say this guy's with Down syndrome?
There's a story of one of them on the front line.
Yeah.
Because they have no men.
They have no men.
Now imagine like you were against an army of toddlers, but they had AK 47s.
I'm still talking about that.
I got to pray real quick.
Father, we just pray for your mercy and your kindness towards the people in Ukraine and the people in Russia.
Lord, I pray in your kindness if it would be your will that you would save Zelensky and that he would repent of his sin.
If not, Lord, please kill him in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
Okay.
Amen.
Wary Law and Judicial Decisions00:11:17
No, that is wicked.
Oh my goodness.
I'm sorry.
Man, that makes me mad.
But the only reason it's able to go on is because, again, if you're going against an army of toddlers, well, it's a pretty easy battle, except that they're literally armed to the teeth by billions and millions of dollars worth of armament.
Right.
Like that's what's making it so difficult.
You can put 60 year old men, and if they have drones and RPGs and Western weapons, they're going to make it longer and we're dragged out.
$350 billion from us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
We've got a bunch of super chats.
Yeah.
First and foremost, thank you guys for your generosity.
Michael, you want to go ahead and read some?
So, Axe Boniface, this is.
From earlier in the episode.
Thanks very much.
$9.99 super chat.
Crisis King, amen.
Total Trash World Destruction, also amen.
Can't wait to meet you guys at the conference in April.
God bless you.
Look, if you have a name like Axe of Boniface, you had better be Jack.
If you come up to me and it's like, oh yeah, I work in IT and my brother in Christ.
Where is he?
What have you done with him?
Unless you're one of Elon's autists, then you're lifting the axe.
Tell me you're in Doge and okay, you get a pass.
The digital axe is being wielded.
There we go.
I'm excited to meet him.
Jeremy Kearns, 999, thank you very much, brother.
Libs and Dems want to support Ukraine.
It's their proxy in the post-war consensus in the East.
Because they see Russia as nationalist or fascist, they're the lone bulwark of anti-liberalism in the East.
That's exactly what it is.
It's just LARPing World War II all over again.
Yep.
Connor Stubau, I'll hit this one.
1999, thank you very much, Connor.
And also for the other one that we mentioned that we read already.
Yeah, Connor says, thank you for the podcast.
What are your thoughts?
On the Supreme Court ruling against Trump and making money flow to USAID.
Okay.
I did a little research into this this afternoon.
And when I say little, I mean a little bit.
My understanding, and I could be wrong about this, is that while I still disagree with the decision, the decision was to side with a lower court that had told Trump, President Trump, that $2 billion that had already been promised for completed work to contractors in other countries.
So theoretically, There was $2 billion worth of work that had been completed, and they had basically had sent invoices to USAID to be paid for this work that we had already approved.
And what the Supreme Court said was that $2 billion that is covering work that was already done, and who knows what kind of work.
My take is that that kind of work is not actually work to build hospitals, it's to mostly go to fund gay parades and things like that.
But the decision, specifically, as I understand it, Was that those two billion dollars, which has already been promised and already been invoiced, do need to go ahead and be paid?
Now, whether we like it or not, that's not quite the same.
Son came running upstairs, Dad.
The Supreme Court said Trump can't cancel any USAID money.
Well, no, that's not what that decision was.
You just roasted him on stream, Michael.
It's okay.
I propped him up a few weeks ago.
So I'm still frustrated with it.
I'd rather we cut it all.
But it seems like it was not the headline Supreme Court blocks Trump's efforts to cut all USAID.
And the dissent, they basically said, it wasn't so much we disagree with this contract being paid out.
They said the precedent of the lower court ruling.
That this must be applied means that the judicial branch is basically giving directives to the executive branch, which is a very dangerous precedent to set because then an unelected judge in Hawaii, I don't know, at 11 p.m. at night, could block Trump's Muslim ban, which didn't happen.
It did.
That's the precedent that the dissent, the four more conservative judges against Amy Coney Barrett and Roberts, and Roberts, of course, as well as the three liberal judges, that was their dissent against the majority, which again included Justice Roberts.
And Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
And to be fair, they kicked it back down and said, you guys figure this out.
Trump's team is still going to battle this in the lower court.
It's not a finalized decision.
All right.
Jeff Hafley, super chat.
No, whoa, Just a quick one right there.
Okay, all right.
Go ahead.
Look at that question you skipped.
All right.
The Watch Zealot asked, Wesley, what's your squat max?
About 350.
So for one rep. A couple months ago, I did 225 for 20.
That was killing.
That's impressive.
All right.
So, yep.
350.
Jeff Hafley, he gave us a $5 super chat.
He says, Are we ready for a conversation about how a woman with adopted Haitian kids might not be the best fit for a civil magistrate who prioritizes America first?
That's Amy Quinn.
That's very familiar.
I think that's my tweet from earlier today.
He copied and pasted it.
Great question, Jeff.
Great question, Joel.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think that there's a lot of people who are ready for that.
They just don't happen to be evangelical women.
They're not ready for it, but that's okay because they don't have to be ready for it.
They can, because honestly, they don't need to be having that conversation.
There are conversations that my wife's not ready for, and it works out just fine because she doesn't have to have them.
I go and have those conversations with men, and then I come home and I roll around on the floor with my little kids, and kiss my wife, and play a board game with her, and have a glass of wine, and she's living her best life now.
So that's the world.
Women don't have to be ready for those conversations.
And women won't be the ones making the changes.
It will be men that lead the conversation and say, Hey, people with these types of allegiances just won't be fit to serve a judicial role.
But that's why I tweeted out, and Jeff is just copying and pasting and putting it here.
And giving you money for it.
Yeah, pay for your own money.
Here's your tweet, and I'd like to pay you for it.
It's incredible.
I appreciate it.
That's incredible.
Yeah, Jeff, that was very kind.
But yeah, it shouldn't.
My point in tweeting that out was to say, Yeah, it should not be shocking.
It's like, Well, but she's one of the conservative Supreme Court justices.
She was a Trump appointment.
No, guys, there are certain things that you just, You can't overcome.
There are things that are belonging to nature.
This is the whole point that we get into all the time.
Nature remains undefeated.
You can manipulate it artificially for a time, but inevitably you will eventually have to pay the piper.
And when it comes to nature, women are by nature.
They are designed by God.
And it's a good thing.
This isn't bad.
We're not dissing on women.
Women are awesome when they're in their telos, when they're in the context that God has designed them for.
And women were, they're made to be nurturing, to be trusting, to be loving, to be encouraging, to be believing and hoping, and all these things incredible, incredible things.
And that those are all virtuous and they are strengths, not weaknesses, not liabilities, strengths when in the proper place, namely the home.
So, her instinct, Amy Coney Barrett, her instinct to look to the downtrodden and the hurting and to welcome them in, even to the point of adoption.
She has seven children, two of them are adopted Haitians, adopting them and saying, I will be a mother to you.
That is beautiful in motherhood.
It is a liability in the civil magistrate.
That's the point.
No more.
So even if it's a conservative woman, guys, I don't know how to say any plan.
This is called Wary's Law, right?
You got to give, you know, honor the king.
So you got to give, you know, credit where credit's due.
Gwendolyn Wary, this is his law.
And the law is I'm going to paraphrase it, but it is as follows Any conservative woman in the public square will become liberal.
Right.
Or is trending liberal.
Will become more and more left wing over time.
She will always trend liberal, or if she maintains being conservative and ideally trends conservative, that conservative trend will trend her right out of the public square and into the home.
Right?
Well, this woman became more and more conservative, and now we don't see her anywhere.
Where is she?
In the kitchen.
That's where she is.
And honestly, like Rosario Butterfield would say this.
Like, I'm not even trying to be silly.
Like, Rosario Butterfield would say, Yeah, I do less and less podcasts.
Right.
Why?
She would say, because I'm a woman and I have grandkids.
I'm playing with grandkids and baking cookies and being a helpmeet to my husband.
And I'm like, yes, please.
Love that.
So, yeah.
So it's like, well, Amy Coney Barrett, she's a conservative woman with seven children.
Look at her in this maternal instinct.
And two of the children are foreigners who were adopted from overseas.
And you can't get any more conservative than that, you know?
And you can actually.
You can.
You can wear sundresses and bake sourdough and stay home.
Oh, come on.
She's wearing a dress.
She's got that long black dress.
That explains Justice Roberts, too.
The judicial robes don't count as a sundress.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
So that's, I mean, that is the principle.
That's called Wary's Law.
Wary's Law states, one more time, that a conservative woman in the public square, that she will, by necessity of being in the public square, she will trend left.
Or, If she's one of the rare cases that trends right, she'll trend out of the public square.
That these two things are in direct contradiction to one another public voice and conservative woman.
That by virtue of being a conservative woman, she will opt out of having a massive public status.
And if she holds to the status, because I have a dream to be a podcaster, to be a politician, to be a Supreme Court just, then that dream.
Ultimately, it will cost her her conservative card and she will eventually forfeit that.
So, which we just saw today.
Yeah, it's that is an undefeated.
That's like that's not the first time, though.
Yeah, that's like gravity.
There are some laws that are just Jack Pasebia 2019.
He was sounding the warning bell.
He's like, No, she's not the justice you all think that she is.
Yeah, we can't do DEI.
We're gonna do we're not gonna do DEI, right?
And then do DEI because she was replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
And so, I was like, I'm gonna pick a woman.
It's gotta be a woman.
Yeah, and so we did DEI.
Yep.
Don't love that.
Don't love that.
Okay, fair though.
Roberts, who was a man, has been an equal disaster.
Yeah.
Oh, of course.
But that's the beauty of Wary's Law saying that.
So, when it comes to men, there are plenty of lousy conservative men that aren't that conservative.
But Wary's Law is a law.
I got it.
I got it.
There's not one, it's Ecclesiastes, you know, among a thousand men, right?
I could only find one righteous, but not one woman among them all.
So, it's just because, not because women are, you know, terrible people, but because it's not the place.
Women are not called, when you look at the Psalms, you look at Proverbs, women are not called to be seated in the gates, making these kinds of judicial decisions for the populace.
That is the role of men.
So, okay, we've got.
Russell Hunter and Conservative Men00:07:29
One more?
Two more?
Four more?
No, we've got so just a few of them.
Some of them are statements though.
Jeremy Kearns, $9.99.
Thank you very much.
He says Zelensky is extremely wicked, trying to destroy his Commonwealth just to lose to Russia and asking for the U.S. to send men to die.
Vance and Trump are right to pursue a ceasefire in this situation.
Amen.
Well said.
Thank you for the super chat.
Jeff Hapley, $4.99.
When Zelensky was talking about, quote, influence, unquote, was he talking about The global homo and Jays.
I don't know.
Maybe.
It could be.
Could be.
Connor Suba.
Another $4.99 super chat.
Yep.
Got it.
Thank you.
What was his question?
His was about the Supreme Court and USAID funding.
Oh, okay.
Great.
He said, got it.
Thank you.
Yeah, that was helpful, Michael.
I appreciate that.
As much as we can dunk on the libs and women in the public square, I want to take advantage.
But I am glad that you brought some receipts for that because we, you know, We'd like our dunks to be legitimate.
We appreciate legitimate dunks.
No using trampolines, Globetrotter, you know, cheap dunks.
We need real dunks on women for the glory of God.
Okay.
Cole Billiatt, 999.
Thank you, Cole.
He says, Thoughts on a tri polar world order where the EUS.
Not the US.
The US.
Oh, I see.
Typo.
The US, China, and Russians lead global affairs in cooperation, particularly to oppose the inevitable next.
Caliphate.
Caliphate.
Islam.
Hashtag another crusade.
I don't see China getting in on that.
They've peacefully coexisted with Indonesia pretty well.
What are they doing to the Muslims, though?
Yeah, the Uyghurs.
Within, yes.
But they peacefully coexisted, all right.
I know.
Because they put them in camps.
China hates Christ, but they understand nature.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And honestly, like, you know, and for that matter, so does Islam.
But partnering with the U.S. to fight Islam?
No.
And honestly, here's the deal.
I guess my answer, my quick answer, short answer would be Islam's not that big of a threat.
The only thing that makes Islam a threat is all these, you know, Christian nations propping them up.
If it wasn't for all of Europe welcoming them into their country, welcoming them into political office, welcoming them, you know, handing over their churches to be, you know, transformed into mosques and all these, like, if it's not for the West, like, I'll just say it plainly, who cares?
The war between Islam and Christianity historically has been a war between people who throw rocks and people who build cathedrals.
They're not a threat.
The only thing that makes them a threat is wicked men in the West that prop them up.
So you don't need China as an ally.
You just need your actual allies to stop being traitors.
That's what I would say.
Right.
Like 9 11, like this is 2001.
We let them in.
Right.
Like at the end of the day, like it was lax immigration in the West, lax vetting.
Very altruistic, you're welcome in here.
Like, that's what gave us the worst terror attack on our soil 9 11.
And so, you tighten that up, you shut down the borders, Western countries may find again a sense of self sufficiency.
And I don't think to Cole's question, which is a good one, I just don't think it's that big a deal, at least, especially for us.
We have an ocean between us.
Russia has the Black Sea.
They also have its Georgia, it's right down there.
They have buffer zones as well to the Middle East.
Same with China.
I don't know.
I don't know if we need one.
Yep.
I agree.
Okay.
Any final thoughts?
Anything else you guys want to add?
This is great.
That's it.
Yep.
That's all she wrote.
Thank you guys so much for tuning in.
I think this was a great one.
And Friday, do we have a plan for Friday?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Was I supposed to?
I was supposed to talk to Stephen Wolf to see if he would come.
Okay, I'll talk to Stephen Wolf to see if he comes and joins us.
If not, I bet we can get a guest.
Let's throw it to the chat real quick.
Nate, pull up the chat.
You guys, these are the guys I think I could late notice probably get.
I could probably get CJ and Isker, Contra Mundum.
So put something in the chat if you'd like us to pull in, do a mashup with Contra Mundum this Friday.
That would be a lot of fun.
We could get Dr. Stephen Wolf, do a mashup with him, the Lone Bull Work.
Who's somebody else?
We could probably get John Harris.
We wanted to get Harris.
Dusty's still in session, huh?
Dusty's still in session.
Yep.
And honestly, he's going to be up for re election soon, which means he's not going to be able to test Joe Webb.
That's true.
He's got to keep his hands clean.
Once he gets reelected, then he can be like, all right, my best friend, Joe Webb, I'm back.
John Doyle.
Somebody's saying, John Doyle, we get, oh, John Doyle.
I think I said it last Monday, but for those of you who didn't tune in last Monday, he's going to be coming to the conference.
He's not speaking, but he's coming.
Some people are like, oh, that's awesome.
Who's he replacing?
You know, and like, no, he just told me that he's coming, and I'm stoked to get to hang out with him.
And there's like a false dichotomy.
Wolf and Contra Munim.
Wolf and Contra Munim.
He's like, I'll take both.
I think it's a W Wolf, William Wolf.
Yep.
Let's see.
Oh, man, the reasonable Latino.
AD is one of my best friends, and it's been a little hiatus.
Yeah, it's been a while.
I would love to have AD.
I miss him.
I'm glad he's coming to the conference.
And for those of you who don't know, behind the scenes, I've been trying to get AD Robles and his family to move to Texas and join our church.
Which, if you don't know Joel, is very persuasive.
So the fact that AD is a good person on this one.
Has uh is quite impressive.
Well, now that we have a demonstration of willpower, you know, maybe like he's maybe the whole time he's like, I can't move to Texas because your border, you know, it's not safe enough.
But now that we, you know, but yeah, I've been trying to get people are gonna mistake him for an illegal guy.
Yeah, he's like, I'm too Latino and I'm too reasonable, I'm in danger in Texas.
Um, but yeah, Ad is a great friend, incredible guy.
I would love to, I don't think he wants to do this, but I would love to see him, um, pastor again.
He's been in pastoral ministry in the past, and God bless him, he you know, he's not doing it anymore, and I totally understand why it's difficult.
Um, but And he's gifted in a lot of other ways.
But yeah, I would.
I mean, if we could ever get him to move here, we would use him at the local church level.
We would use him with Right Response.
So AD could be good for Friday.
Stephen Wolf could be good for Friday.
The Contra Munim boys, Isker and CJ.
Anybody else that we can think of?
Some guys we've floated before, but we'll get them and then people will see that they're on.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There are a couple of good guys in the circuit.
We just never have reached out and seen if they want to.
Well, there's a couple of guys that.
That I got to talk to even just yesterday, as you guys know, who it'll be interesting.
We'll see.
All right.
Well, that's it for today.
God bless you guys.
Continue to cling fast to Christ, to obey his law, and be a patriot.
Fight for your country, fight for your wives, for your children.
Do this all lawfully according to the word of God.
Be an outstanding citizen and be courageous.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Somebody said, Russell Hunter.
Wait, who's Russell Hunter?
T. Russell Hunter?
Oh, he's a big fan.
He loves me.
Yeah, that guy, Russell Hunter, he's my biggest fan.
He's my biggest fan.
Yep.
So be a Christian, love Christ, be courageous, and we will see you guys, Lord willing, this next Friday.
