=== Gaza Child Death Rate Shocking (13:17) ===

[00:00:00]  Grief seizes you when you read the names of children killed in a bomb shelter.
[00:00:04]  Yaakov Bitten was only 16 years old.
[00:00:07]  His sister Abigail was 15.
[00:00:09]  And his sister Sarah was only 13.
[00:00:12]  An Irenean ballistic missile collapsed their shelter in Beit Shemesh, the very place that was meant to keep them alive.
[00:00:20]  Now, nothing makes that better.
[00:00:22]  These were real children, children with futures, parents, and names that will not soon be forgotten.
[00:00:28]  Their grief is real.
[00:00:30]  And outrage is appropriate.
[00:00:32]  Iran knowingly struck a civilian population center.
[00:00:36]  Whatever geopolitical or theological arguments are made, the bitten children did not deserve to die beneath concrete in the middle of the night.
[00:00:46]  However, grief does not erase accountability.
[00:00:50]  Before turning to theology, consider just the raw numbers.
[00:00:54]  Save the Children reports at least 20,000 children killed in Gaza over 23 months.
[00:01:00]  Roughly one per hour.
[00:01:02]  UNICEF estimates 64,000 children killed or maimed by October 2025.
[00:01:10]  A February 2026 Lancet population study estimated 22,800 children killed by direct violence through January 2025.
[00:01:20]  And a peer reviewed analysis found child mortality increased by 34 fold over pre war levels, with peak child death rates double those of the Rwanda.
[00:01:34]  UNRWA reported that more children were killed in Gaza in four months than in all global conflicts combined from 2019 to 2022.
[00:01:46]  Oxfam found more children died in the first year of the war than in the entire period from 2005 to 2022.
[00:01:55]  Early in the campaign, over 100 children were killed per day.
[00:02:00]  The rate never normalized.
[00:02:02]  Comparatively, Syria, for example, averaged seven child deaths.
[00:02:07]  Per day over 12 years.
[00:02:09]  Yemen, four every three days.
[00:02:12]  Afghanistan, two child deaths per day.
[00:02:15]  And Ukraine, fewer than one per day.
[00:02:18]  Gaza exceeded all of them.
[00:02:21]  Under five, mortality rates rose to 1.2 all the way, with some estimates being 4.2 times that of Niger, Nigeria, and Somalia.
[00:02:33]  IDF internal data reportedly list 8,900 confirmed militant kills against total deaths exceeding.
[00:02:42]  70,000, implying an 83% civilian casualty rate that's higher than any conflict since 1989.
[00:02:52]  Other reporting indicates authorization thresholds of 15 to 20 civilian deaths per low ranking militant and over 100 civilian deaths for senior targets.
[00:03:06]  Nearly 48% of blast injury deaths are children.
[00:03:11]  40% are Under the age of 10.
[00:03:13]  Mortality for children under the age of 5 rose tenfold.
[00:03:18]  These are not primitive conditions.
[00:03:20]  Gaza has been struck with precision guided munitions, AI assisted targeting, and advanced surveillance.
[00:03:29]  When such systems produce casualty rates exceeding Rwanda, two explanations exist catastrophic incompetence or intentional output, and few argue the former.
[00:03:43]  The UN Commission of Inquiry in September 2025 concluded genocidal intent was, quote, the only reasonable inference, end quote.
[00:03:54]  Public statements from Israeli officials, including references to Amalek and calls to wipe out Gaza, reinforce that interpretation.
[00:04:05]  This brings the issue into theological focus.
[00:04:09]  Here's scripture Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity.
[00:04:14]  That's Proverbs 22, verse 8.
[00:04:17]  See, the data describe not isolated tragedy, but sustained pattern.
[00:04:23]  17% of Gaza's under 15 population is reportedly dead.
[00:04:28]  Let me say that again 17% of Gaza's under 15 year old population is reportedly dead.
[00:04:38]  Approximately 17,000 children have lost both of their parents.
[00:04:43]  Life expectancy has fallen by roughly 35 years.
[00:04:48]  Gaza now has the highest rate of child.
[00:04:51]  Amputees per capita in recorded history.
[00:04:55]  The region's escalation is not disconnected.
[00:04:59]  Iran's missile killing the bitten children does not emerge from a vacuum.
[00:05:04]  Actions accumulate, consequences return.
[00:05:07]  Here's Scripture As you have done, it shall be done to you.
[00:05:12]  Obadiah chapter 1, verse 15.
[00:05:14]  This is not triumphalism.
[00:05:16]  The bitten children should have lived, their deaths are unjust.
[00:05:21]  But Scripture does not suspend cause and effect.
[00:05:24]  For the sake of sentiment, a moral order exists and it does not dissipate accumulated injustice, rather, it compounds it.
[00:05:34]  20,000 dead children is not a statistic that vanishes, it is a seed, and according to the text Christians claim to believe, seeds grow.
[00:05:46]  The conclusion is unavoidable.
[00:05:48]  Grief is real, but so is judgment.
[00:05:51]  Nations, like individuals, are not exempt.
[00:05:57]  Radical Christian nationalist pastor, Joel Webbin.
[00:05:59]  Joel Webbin.
[00:06:00]  I want to talk about Joel Webbin.
[00:06:05]  All right, we are live.
[00:06:28]  Right now, we're going to be using an article from our Substack.
[00:06:32]  That's NXR Studio Substack.
[00:06:33]  The link is in the show notes below if you want to read this, because we're going to cover as much of it as we can, but there's a lot of information that we won't be able to get to.
[00:06:41]  But we have the statistics, we have the data, we have everything in this article that is being published right now, in the next few minutes as I speak.
[00:06:49]  You can go to Substack.com forward slash at NXR Studios.
[00:06:53]  Again, that's Substack.com forward slash at NXR Studios.
[00:06:57]  And again, it's in the show notes below if you want to read all this and get even more facts than what we'll be providing today.
[00:07:03]  But we're going to be reading from this article.
[00:07:04]  That's why we've got all the papers on the desk today.
[00:07:06]  We're going to be going hard in the paint.
[00:07:08]  We're going to start with you, Wesley.
[00:07:10]  You've got a few things that you wanted to highlight from this article.
[00:07:12]  Go ahead and take it away.
[00:07:14]  Well, I'm going to jump right in with that statistic that you read in the cold open 20,000 children.
[00:07:19]  The rate of child deaths in Gaza, reading now from this article, is double that of the Rwandan genocide at its peak.
[00:07:26]  The IDF's own leaked internal database registered 8,900 confirmed kills against a total death toll exceeding 70,000, producing a civilian death rate 260% higher than in other modern conflicts.
[00:07:40]  But the child death rate in particular, it's almost 700% higher.
[00:07:45]  Rwanda used machetes and a collapsing government to rack up those figures.
[00:07:49]  Gaza is being done with the most accurate weapons targeting system ever built by human hands, which means somebody made a choice, that choice had a body count, and the body count has Names, and at least 20,000 of those names belonged to children.
[00:08:03]  To phrase it another way, Rwanda's death rate was caused by utter civilizational chaos.
[00:08:09]  Gaza's death rate has been caused by orderly elimination.
[00:08:12]  So if Rwanda was a genocide, which everybody agrees, then what's Gaza?
[00:08:18]  Think about the math.
[00:08:18]  The slaughter rate in Gaza, adjusted for population and age cohort, beats Rwanda's worst numbers by a factor of two, and children a factor of seven.
[00:08:29]  This is not a contested figure that's been hauled out of thin air by a pro Palestinian blogger.
[00:08:33]  It comes from the same international, impartial organizations that the Trump State Department and even Biden before him use to compile death stats in military conflicts and natural disasters around the world.
[00:08:45]  These are peer reviewed, methodologically rigorous statistics produced by trusted organizations, and they all point to the same picture ethnic cleansing.
[00:08:56]  The UNRWA delivered the most arresting single statistic of the entire conflict when they reported in March 2024.
[00:09:02]  So, this is just six months or so after the conflict started on October 7th, 2023.
[00:09:07]  That more children have been killed in Gaza in four months than in all global conflict zones combined over the entire four year period from 2019 to 2022.
[00:09:18]  Oxfam subsequently found that over the first year of the war, more children were killed in Gaza than in the entire period from 2005 to 2022 combined.
[00:09:27]  That's roughly 17 years of global conflict folded into 12 months in one territory that's the size of Philadelphia.
[00:09:35]  For comparison, another comparison, the Syrian civil war killed approximately seven children per day, averaged across 12 years.
[00:09:41]  Yemen killed four children every three days across seven and a half years.
[00:09:45]  Afghanistan tracked roughly two per day from 2009 to 2020.
[00:09:51]  Ukraine, as of late 2023, was recording fewer than one child per day.
[00:09:55]  Gaza, at its operational pace, was killing more than 100 children per day in the early months of the campaign.
[00:10:01]  The daily rate never normalized, it simply continued and continued and continued until the cumulative weight of it broke every historical comparison that anyone could reach for.
[00:10:12]  A strip of land smaller than the city of Detroit generated more dead children per capita than anywhere else on earth.
[00:10:18]  The stats show that the under five mortality in Gaza in 2024 is 1.2 to 4.2 times higher, as we said in the Cold Open, than Niger, Nigeria, and Somalia, terrible third world countries in the midst of absolutely, absolute civilizational destruction.
[00:10:34]  And to put a point on especially the technology piece so we've talked about this before, we talked about it last year as far as Palantir and targeting.
[00:10:42]  But one of the AI systems that they use to generate what are called kill lists in Gaza, the Israeli military is highly advanced.
[00:10:48]  They're not big.
[00:10:48]  Israel is only a country of about 9 million people, Iran is 90 million for comparison.
[00:10:53]  So, for size, for the individuals in it, it's relatively small.
[00:10:58]  But they're one of the most technologically advanced in the world.
[00:11:01]  That's what makes these numbers so shocking.
[00:11:03]  One of their systems is called, it's been operating since 2019, called Habsora.
[00:11:09]  And in English, that translates to the gospel.
[00:11:11]  And the IDF said, I'm reading now from a Guardian article, that through the rapid and automatic extraction of intelligence, the gospel, this is his AI targeting platform that they've called the gospel, produced targeting recommendations for its researchers with the goal of a complete match between the recommendation of the machine and the identification.
[00:11:28]  Carried out by a person.
[00:11:29]  So the IDF's goal is that when they're matching someone with an AI kill list, complete confidence.
[00:11:34]  This is not a we're pretty sure, we're 75% more likely than not, complete confidence.
[00:11:40]  Multiple sources familiar with IDF's targeting processes confirmed the existence of the gospel, saying it had been used to produce automated recommendations for attacking targets, such as the private homes of individuals suspected of being Hamas or Islamic jihad operatives.
[00:11:53]  In recent years, the target division has helped the IDF build a database of what sources say was between 30 to 40,000 suspected.
[00:12:01]  Militants.
[00:12:01]  Systems such as the gospel, they said, played a critical role in building lists of individuals authorized to be assassinated.
[00:12:08]  Aviv Kakavai, who served as the head of the IDF until January, said the target division is powered by AI capabilities and includes hundreds of officers and soldiers.
[00:12:17]  So, divisions with hundreds, thousands of personnel on it, one of the most brilliant militaries in the world that's been using AI for almost a decade to generate kill lists, apparently also are so missed so badly the child death rate is over 700%.
[00:12:32]  That it is an all comparable global complex.
[00:12:34]  I don't believe that.
[00:12:35]  That's called a little bit of something called intentionality.
[00:12:38]  Yes, very well said.
[00:12:40]  Just to give another example.
[00:12:42]  So, this is a recent report that just came in.
[00:12:45]  Israeli soldiers, now, this is alleged, but I believe it.
[00:12:50]  And there have been, this is just one example.
[00:12:52]  There have been multiple reports like this, and many of them from credible sources.
[00:12:56]  Israeli soldiers torture a one year old child in Gaza, including burning his leg with a cigarette and inserting a nail into his leg, according to a report.
[00:13:06]  To pressure his father to make confessions.
[00:13:09]  Here's the big, let me, so we've given a lot of facts, we've given a lot of details and statistics and these things to the best of our ability.
[00:13:15]  What is true, citing credible sources.

=== Nation Under God's Judgment (15:17) ===

[00:13:17]  Here's the big picture in the spiritual realm of light versus darkness, of good versus evil for us as Christians.
[00:13:25]  Here's the position we don't like war.
[00:13:29]  If you were a Christian, you should not be salivating every single time Lindsey Graham gets up behind a camera and says, I'm sending your sons to die for Israel.
[00:13:39]  That should not excite you.
[00:13:41]  If you are a Christian, you love the Lord Jesus Christ, there was a post that actually just came out this morning that I really appreciate from an evangelical Christian man who's doing a lot of different metrics.
[00:13:53]  Think of the, what were they, a Pew pulpit would be another example, or some of these different groups.
[00:13:59]  And so he's taken a lot of findings, a lot of data, and published and showed that on the issue of gay marriage, the issue of transgenderism, and the issue of abortion, it's not even close.
[00:14:11]  It is a landslide conservative political, cultural, conservative position coming from evangelical Christians.
[00:14:18]  Mainline Protestant denominations, spoiler alert, they're super gay.
[00:14:22]  They love abortion.
[00:14:23]  They love sodomy.
[00:14:24]  They love it all.
[00:14:25]  All right.
[00:14:26]  Catholics, they're kind of split.
[00:14:27]  And we got a lot of Catholic friends.
[00:14:29]  We love our Catholic friends, but they're kind of 50 50, right?
[00:14:33]  They're over majority.
[00:14:35]  I think it's like 60, 70% against transgenderism.
[00:14:38]  But on abortion, they're kind of.
[00:14:41]  This is Catholics not across the globe, but in America.
[00:14:44]  So, American Catholics versus American Evangelicals.
[00:14:47]  American Evangelicals, it's like 83% is against abortion, another 80% against gay marriage, 90% against transgenderism.
[00:14:56]  Catholics, the Evangelicals are beating them by 20, 30% margins.
[00:15:02]  Mainline Protestants, Evangelicals are beating them by 50, 60% margins.
[00:15:06]  So, here's my point.
[00:15:08]  Evangelicals do really well.
[00:15:10]  Protestant Evangelicals do really well.
[00:15:12]  In their voting patterns when it comes to political and cultural issues of our day, those which are blatantly moral, things like the sanctity of life from conception in the womb, the sanctity of traditional marriage, one man, one woman.
[00:15:27]  Here's one of the, I think, the Achilles heel of evangelicals.
[00:15:32]  They have not yet connected the dots of the very things they vote against and one of the primary sources of those things.
[00:15:39]  So, on the one hand, they're a bulwark against abortion.
[00:15:43]  Against homosexuality.
[00:15:44]  On the other hand, they are the biggest Zionist supporters, right?
[00:15:48]  Your AIPAC funded politicians, evangelicals vote for them like there's no tomorrow.
[00:15:54]  Ted Cruz, they love them.
[00:15:56]  But Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin and these kinds of guys, these people are bloodthirsty men.
[00:16:05]  They are war crazed men.
[00:16:07]  There is not a war in the Middle East that they don't like, that they don't love.
[00:16:11]  They promote these things.
[00:16:13]  And this is what I want you to see from just a pastoral point of view for just a moment here.
[00:16:18]  If you are a Bible believing, traditional, conservative, evangelical Christian, you need to hate war in the same way that you hate abortion, the same way that you hate homosexuality.
[00:16:32]  Nations will be judged.
[00:16:33]  I believe that America is, not just was, it certainly was, but is a Christian nation.
[00:16:39]  Here's the caveat, but a Christian nation currently under God's judgment for its apostasy.
[00:16:46]  We are a Christian nation.
[00:16:47]  But we're a Christian nation in the process of rebelling against God.
[00:16:51]  And because of our founding being Christian, God is not going to spare us.
[00:16:57]  But our rebellion, our apostatizing from being Christian, actually incurs stricter, harsher judgments from God.
[00:17:05]  And so I believe that we are a nation that right now is under God's judgment for the sin of abortion, the sin of sodomy, these kinds of things.
[00:17:13]  One of those judgments is mass immigration.
[00:17:17]  Now, here's the thing you can, if somebody is.
[00:17:21]  And let's say the source of their injury predominantly is internal bleeding.
[00:17:26]  Okay, but they also have some other collateral damage, right, on the surface of their skin, gaping wounds.
[00:17:31]  What do you do?
[00:17:32]  Well, you triage, you're gonna prioritize the thing that's lethal, the thing that's gonna kill them the quickest, but you wanna say, hey, we're only going to deal with the root cause, the most dangerous element of this person's condition, and we're not gonna do anything for the external.
[00:17:49]  No, you would treat both.
[00:17:50]  There's a triaging in terms of priority of what gets hit first, what's most.
[00:17:55]  Urgent, but that person would be brought into the ER and they would be treated all the way around.
[00:18:00]  So, what should we do?
[00:18:02]  We should fight against mass immigration, invasion, the conquest of foreign nations over our country.
[00:18:10]  But we also have to deal with the root sins that brought about this judgment.
[00:18:14]  And the root sins, when we think of that, this is where evangelicals miss the 30,000 foot view.
[00:18:21]  They are meticulous and they're right in the sense that they're saying, look, mass immigration, we get that it's not good, but the real problem is abortion.
[00:18:28]  Well, you know what?
[00:18:29]  I actually agree that abortion is.
[00:18:32]  Is probably one of the quintessential sins of America that has incurred God's judgment.
[00:18:38]  And one of the primary forms of God's judgment is the conquest of our country by foreign nations.
[00:18:44]  I believe that.
[00:18:45]  But here's the deal you can hedge against the immigration, also repent for the abortion.
[00:18:49]  And there is one more root sin.
[00:18:51]  There's one more causal sin that should be added to the list of gay marriage and abortion.
[00:18:57]  And it is us as a nation funding unjust wars.
[00:19:03]  That's the point that I want Christians in my nation that I love to see.
[00:19:08]  I want your eyes wide open.
[00:19:10]  I want you to see this with clarity, with God's perspective.
[00:19:14]  Now, a couple more disclaimers just briefly.
[00:19:16]  Number one, we are not against war.
[00:19:20]  There is, throughout Christian tradition, for over a thousand years, lots of theology and writing has been done on this subject, the subject being just war theory.
[00:19:32]  To go to war, but they must enter the war for just causes and they must fight the war in just measures, in just ways.
[00:19:42]  So I am a nationalist.
[00:19:45]  That does not mean that I am a pure, in all circumstances, isolationist.
[00:19:50]  I hate war.
[00:19:52]  I hate war.
[00:19:53]  That does not mean that I think there are no circumstances in which we must fight a war.
[00:19:58]  But what's going on in Gaza and now Iran, to kind of connect it here, last thing I'll say, connecting it to where we are relevantly.
[00:20:06]  Right presently, right now, the same nation that has murdered children by the tens of thousands, that has the capacity for precision, and yet murdered them anyways, with dozens of reports of torturing children and babies, burning their legs with cigarettes, inserting nails into their legs in order to get a parent to squeal or tell them something.
[00:20:32]  This nation, Israel, is a nation that we fund with billions of dollars, with weaponry, with our soldiers.
[00:20:40]  And not only have they been fighting unjustly in Gaza, in cleansing it, committing genocide, targeting children, not only that, but the same nation that did that, and everyone was sounding the alarm, and Zionist evangelicals weren't really listening.
[00:20:58]  Maybe they, oh, well, it's not my favorite, but we got to still support God's chosen people.
[00:21:03]  Well, that nation that for two years now has committed war crimes that we continue to support.
[00:21:11]  Is the very same nation that now, just in the past few weeks, by Marco Rubio's own testimony, by many of our own government officials high up in the Trump administration, that nation has drug our nation into a war with Iran.
[00:21:26]  Why are we bombing Iran?
[00:21:28]  Why are we?
[00:21:29]  And I understand that in this case, at least what we've been told, allegedly, it was an accident killing 200 something children in a school in Iran.
[00:21:39]  We did that.
[00:21:40]  Now, I don't think it was targeted, I don't think it was intentional, but how did that happen?
[00:21:45]  Well, by our own officials' word, by their own testimony, right?
[00:21:49]  I'm a simple man.
[00:21:50]  I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
[00:21:51]  I'm just over here taking Marco Rubio's word for it when he's doing an official press report.
[00:21:57]  And he said, We knew that if we didn't bomb Iran, that Israel would not stand down, even if we begged them, and that they were going to go ahead on the offense and attack, and they would do it poorly, and they would hurt a lot of innocents, and they wouldn't quite get the job done because they don't quite have the weaponry that we do.
[00:22:18]  It would elicit a greater response, retaliation from Iran that would target.
[00:22:24]  US military bases in the region and hurt American soldiers.
[00:22:28]  And that has happened, but again, Marco Rubio saying we think it would have happened even at a higher degree.
[00:22:34]  So why did we get into the war?
[00:22:36]  Because Trump is playing 4D chess, because this is good for America, because it was deliberate.
[00:22:40]  We thought about it, we talked about it, we strategized for years, and now is it.
[00:22:43]  No, Israel dragged us in.
[00:22:46]  Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.
[00:22:48]  They now have dragged us into another war with Iran.
[00:22:52]  Oil is spiking through the roof.
[00:22:54]  Poly market.
[00:22:55]  Has just released, reported that major CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are sending out international reports, emails to their international different headquarters around the world, informing their higher up employees to prepare for oil to be above $175 a barrel and to remain above $100 all the way until 2027.
[00:23:21]  The way that this will affect our economy, here's the deal we are not Having the results economically that America was forecasted to have.
[00:23:30]  And because of AI and other factors, unemployment is rising.
[00:23:35]  Typically, what the Fed would do in this scenario, in order to keep us out of recession, is cut rates, make money cheaper so that money moves, so that the economy grows.
[00:23:46]  So that at least, even though we're not producing quite as much as we wanted to, you don't have quite the earning reports, you know, unemployment is maybe down, you're making it cheaper for companies.
[00:23:56]  Hoping that that would incentivize growth and hiring and all these different things.
[00:24:01]  But the Fed can't cut rates if one thing, and there's one predominant thing that would stand in the way inflation.
[00:24:07]  They can't make money cheaper if the cost of goods is already skyrocketing.
[00:24:13]  And one of the underlining issues or products that makes everything more expensive because of travel and shipping is oil.
[00:24:21]  So, right now, we essentially have our country, our president, Sending us into a recession that will mean mass unemployment.
[00:24:32]  That is on the table as a real possibility.
[00:24:34]  Not guaranteed, but a real possibility.
[00:24:37]  People are talking about the possibility of it being likened to the 2008 housing crash, the way that it will affect fathers and their ability to provide for their families, and all this because we made a deliberate decision that in the long run it will be better.
[00:24:50]  No, because Israel committed genocide and right after that turned around and drug us into a war with Iran.
[00:24:58]  If you are an evangelical, conservative, Bible loving Christian, you need to hate abortion.
[00:25:04]  You need to hate sodomy.
[00:25:06]  You need to see immigration as a judgment.
[00:25:08]  Walk and chew gum at the same time.
[00:25:09]  You can push back against the judgment and the root sin.
[00:25:12]  We can do both.
[00:25:14]  See that as a judgment from the Lord for abortion, for homosexuality, gay marriage, transgenderism, drag queen story out, and I'm simply adding, I'm not saying one or the other, but both and, and America's willful participation and funding of Israel's unjust.
[00:25:33]  It is a sin and God hates it.
[00:25:35]  You don't have to be an isolationist.
[00:25:37]  You should be a nationalist, but you do not have to be an isolationist and you do not have to be a pacifist.
[00:25:43]  We're not pacifists.
[00:25:44]  There is a time, Ecclesiastes says, there's a time for peace, there's a time for war.
[00:25:48]  But there is a difference in a just war and Israel's maniacal war crimes against humanity and them dragging in our nation to fight their wars again and again.
[00:26:01]  One last little piece I'd be remiss if I didn't mention.
[00:26:04]  It's not exactly connected to today's episode, but it just came out this morning.
[00:26:10]  The owner of OnlyFans, a pornography website, That pimps out America's daughters by the thousands to get a little bit of money.
[00:26:20]  Some of them make tons, but most of them are making just pennies selling their bodies on the internet, which is forever.
[00:26:27]  So their future husbands and children will see mom or at least know about it doing unspeakable perverse things.
[00:26:35]  And the owner of that company, OnlyFans, who early life check, I'm telling you, Neo, Morpheus, you're saying that when I'm ready, that all I have to do is an early life check?
[00:26:46]  I'm telling you, Neo, that when you're ready, you won't have.
[00:26:48]  To.
[00:26:48]  He's Jewish.
[00:26:49]  Rodvinsky, it sounds Scandinavian, German.
[00:26:52]  He's Jewish and he just died today at 43 years old from cancer.
[00:26:57]  And here's the deal this Jewish man who owned OnlyFans, a massive pornography website that pimped out America's daughters, also happened to be, and this is not a coincidence, the number one funder of AIPAC.
[00:27:12]  So as he's pimping out your daughters, America, in order to make billions for himself.
[00:27:19]  He then turns around and takes the money he garnered by pimping out your daughters to then fund Israel first Zionist politicians in your American government who will then pimp out your sons to go to the Middle East and die in the sand.
[00:27:38]  That's Israel.
[00:27:40]  That's Jewish influence.
[00:27:42]  And that is one of the sins.
[00:27:44]  That's not a judgment.
[00:27:45]  Judgment is like mass immigration, judgment is the white race.
[00:27:50]  Dissipating and being replaced.
[00:27:52]  Those are judgments, but the root sins that have brought about God's judgment are abortion, the murder of children in the womb, sodomy and gay marriage, perversion, but also unjust wars and America's allegiance to Israel.
[00:28:08]  Not only is it a lie that if we bless Israel, we'll be blessed, I believe that America choosing to monetarily and militarily bless Israel has actually brought about God's curses.
[00:28:22]  I believe that fully.
[00:28:23]  I believe that fully.
[00:28:24]  All right.
[00:28:25]  Yeah, well said.
[00:28:26]  You know what?
[00:28:26]  Actually, real quick, let's go to a commercial break.
[00:28:29]  And then Antonio is going to read some more from the article and we'll break down a little bit more.
[00:28:32]  Here we go.
[00:28:33]  Breaking news.

=== Wild Beef Sticks and Nicotine (02:13) ===

[00:28:35]  You're fat.
[00:28:37]  And so am I. Let's just be honest.
[00:28:39]  I'm sitting here recording a commercial, practically spilling out of my chair.
[00:28:42]  We're not energetic.
[00:28:44]  We're not masculine.
[00:28:45]  We're not as healthy as we should be.
[00:28:47]  We're men, right?
[00:28:48]  You're a husband, you're a father.
[00:28:50]  We should be hard to kill.
[00:28:51]  And let's be honest, we're making it easy on our enemies.
[00:28:54]  So, what's the problem?
[00:28:55]  The problem is you're fat because you're hungry.
[00:28:57]  And when you're hungry, you're eating snacks that's a bunch of goy slop.
[00:29:01]  There's not a lot of good things in snack form in between meals.
[00:29:05]  As a man, we need raw milk, eggs, beef.
[00:29:09]  Those are the things, but it's hard to find them at 9 30 in the morning when I feel like I'm ready like a hobbit for a second breakfast.

[00:30:48]  But somewhere along the way, we lost the plot.
[00:30:51]  Effeminacy began to creep in.
[00:30:54]  Men traded their duty for comfort, and now big tobacco sells us nothing but compromise.
[00:31:01]  Nicknack raises the old banner again.

[00:31:57]  Knickknack.
[00:31:58]  Crush your vice.
[00:32:01]  All right, we're back.
[00:32:02]  So, Joel, earlier you were quoting Ecclesiastes, there's a time for peace, there's a time for war.
[00:32:07]  And then you talked about this concept of just war theory and sort of how Christians have articulated when war is necessary, when it's pertinent, when it's righteous versus when it's not.
[00:32:17]  And one of the concepts that's been articulated with respect to just war theory is the concept of proportionality.
[00:32:24]  And so, this is basically the idea that in war, the desire is actually always for a peace.
[00:32:31]  It's to achieve your objective, but it is ultimately for peace.
[00:32:34]  It's the idea that the nation doesn't actually want to be at war.
[00:32:37]  And proportionality sort of helps facilitate those dual objectives of peace and the achievement and of the strategy, that is.
[00:32:47]  And one of the ideas there is that when you get slapped in the face, you don't pull out a gun.
[00:32:53]  When you get punched, you don't pull out a knife, et cetera.
[00:32:56]  And the idea is there that.
[00:32:57]  You can eliminate the travesties that occur during war by not forcing your enemy's hand into more drastic actions.
[00:33:05]  So, this is the idea of the nuke being the Samson option, the nuke being the highest form of aggression.
[00:33:12]  And you first start with targeting your enemy's air missile defense system.
[00:33:17]  You then go to their navy, and then you continue to build up.
[00:33:20]  And now we're at the point, I think, in Iran, where we're talking about their infrastructure.
[00:33:24]  So, civilian infrastructure that gives them power, gives them heat, gives them.
[00:33:28]  Air conditioning, those sorts of things, because you continue to have to raise the standard to try to, just enough, just enough to try to force your enemies into some kind of concession, into negotiations, et cetera.
[00:33:40]  And jumping back to Gaza, I think what we see in Gaza is actually the worst example of what proportionality in just war theory looks like.
[00:33:49]  And one of the most obvious ways that you can see this is the civilian casualty rate.
[00:33:54]  And obviously, we can look back in history, we can talk about World War II, for example, and America's determination to, and Truman specifically, determination to use.
[00:34:02]  The nuclear weapon in mainland Japan.
[00:34:05]  That was an indication.
[00:34:07]  Obviously, the civilian death rate was bonkers from that act, but that was a disproportionate act.
[00:34:13]  It was the point of saying, I'm going to use a weapon you don't even have because I'm going to end the war right now.
[00:34:19]  And obviously, the civilian casualty rate is really high.
[00:34:20]  But I want to go back to Gaza.
[00:34:22]  We're going to look back to this article and I'll read a section here that talks about the civilian casualty rate that we saw in Gaza.
[00:34:28]  It says, A classified IDF database, that's important, IDF database.
[00:34:34]  Because some people in the chat will say you're believing propaganda that's pro Hamas or whatever, anti Israel.
[00:34:40]  But the reality is, this is IDF.
[00:34:41]  So, a classified IDF database reported by The Guardian listed 8,900 named Hamas and PIJ fighters confirmed killed.
[00:34:50]  Cross referencing that figure against total casualties produces a civilian death rate of approximately 83%, which exceeds that of every conflict since 1989.
[00:35:00]  An Israeli sociologist named Yegel Levy, writing in Heretz, an Israeli publication, Noted that the civilian death toll in Gaza is higher than all world conflicts from World War II to the present.
[00:35:13]  Where did his stats come from?
[00:35:15]  Pro Hamas sources?
[00:35:16]  No.
[00:35:17]  The IDF itself.
[00:35:19]  Two prominent Israeli investigative journalist outlets, Plus 972 and Local Call, citing six Israeli intelligence officers, reported that the IDF explicitly authorized killing 15 to 20 civilians per low ranking militant and more than 100 civilians per senior militant.
[00:35:37]  Do you comprehend how evil this is?
[00:35:39]  This is not a fog of war accident, going back to your point, Wes.
[00:35:43]  This is not a fog of war accident.
[00:35:45]  This is written doctrine.
[00:35:46]  It has a number attached to it.
[00:35:48]  The kills per civilian ratio is a budgeted line item, not a tragic miscalculation.
[00:35:54]  And somewhere in the bowels of the IDF planning apparatus, someone signed off on math that produced 20,000 dead children and then rounded up to the nearest acceptable threshold.
[00:36:04]  And going back to your point, in terms of where we're at in Technological sophistication within warfare.
[00:36:11]  You made the right point, which is, and this is true for American intelligence too.
[00:36:15]  When we go in and we say we're going to kill Khamenei, when we say we're going to kill any given terrorist network leader, whoever it is, we're making the determination of, okay, where are they at?
[00:36:28]  What is the likelihood that we know where they're at?
[00:36:30]  Who are they around?
[00:36:31]  Do they have family?
[00:36:32]  Do they have children?
[00:36:33]  What's the likelihood we can attack them and not kill the children?
[00:36:36]  And we come up with all of these sort of probabilistic determinations and then we act on those things.
[00:36:42]  Whatever degree of certainty we have that we won't harm civilians.
[00:36:45]  But the reality is, it is intentional.
[00:36:47]  So it is no surprise.
[00:36:49]  The probability was always there.
[00:36:51]  You always knew, okay, we have these Hamas terrorists that are in this hospital, and we know that there are civilians in the hospital, and we're going to target them despite knowing there is a chance that we will kill innocent women and children.
[00:37:04]  And in fact, they did make that determination.
[00:37:06]  And they did, as a matter of fact, per their own sources, kill civilians.
[00:37:10]  An 83% civilian casualty rate is insane.
[00:37:14]  Yeah.
[00:37:14]  The American Civil War, so over 650,000 soldiers died, and the numbers of civilian deaths are only in the tens of thousands.
[00:37:22]  Most of those are from famine.
[00:37:23]  Most of those are from disease.
[00:37:26]  And also, in that American Civil War, you had very few cases of violence against children.
[00:37:30]  There were Union soldiers put to death because they raped.
[00:37:33]  That's what it looks like.
[00:37:34]  And you can have your qualms about how moral the American Civil War was for the South to secede, whether they had the right to do so, whether the Union had the right to invade.
[00:37:42]  But it was a war between two largely Christian groups of people.
[00:37:45]  And more than that, they were principled Western white men.
[00:37:48]  And in a war like that, it looked like 90 to 95% of the casualties were the men who were engaged in the conflict.
[00:37:53]  Sexual violence was.
[00:37:55]  Punished severely.
[00:37:57]  That's what an actual just war looks like.
[00:38:00]  That kill rate of civilians, these death rates of children, and the reason Joel brought up OnlyFans, all these different things, it's all connected.
[00:38:08]  Israel is, Tel Aviv used to, before all this war, host one of the world's biggest pride parades.
[00:38:14]  They revel in sexual perversion.
[00:38:16]  Abortion is provided in Israel free of charge under their universal health care policy.
[00:38:20]  So, this is a nation that, in its formal religion, hates Christ.
[00:38:23]  This is a religion that funds violence against unborn children.
[00:38:27]  Via abortion.
[00:38:27]  This is a nation that celebrates sodomy.
[00:38:30]  Oh, and then you're telling me when they went into war, which was a just war as far as Hamas attacked them, they're brutal.
[00:38:36]  They're a bunch of terrorists.
[00:38:37]  We're not on side of Hamas.
[00:38:38]  They were attacked by brutal people.
[00:38:40]  You're telling me this violent, Christ hitting nation responded disproportionately, glassed and cleansed the area, and also took out tens of thousands of children that were the collateral to it?
[00:38:49]  That makes perfect sense.
[00:38:50]  Violence begets violence.
[00:38:52]  Wickedness begets wickedness.
[00:38:53]  And it's all connected.
[00:38:54]  And for us to say we have a moral duty to support them, what planet are you living on?
[00:38:59]  Not at all.
[00:39:01]  Right.
[00:39:01]  And to believe that it was necessary.
[00:39:03]  It's like, I won't pretend to know what the right thing for Israel, who feels like they're in an existential battle for their own existence, for regional power dynamics, whatever the case is.
[00:39:15]  Their justification, presumably, was we know that we're going to kill a lot of women and children.
[00:39:20]  But if we don't right now, it will mean death and destruction for us.
[00:39:25]  It will mean our women and children.
[00:39:26]  Now, that's always naturally just the justification any man would make before he commits some kind of travesty.
[00:39:33]  But the reality is that they did do it.
[00:39:37]  And then to pretend as if it were the only option, to pretend as if it were necessary, or even worse, as some pro Israel pundits have attempted, to suggest that it didn't happen at all.
[00:39:52]  These things.
[00:39:52]  There's people in our chat saying this is Hamas propaganda.
[00:39:55]  Right.
[00:39:56]  Yeah.
[00:39:56]  And so.
[00:39:56]  Guardian?
[00:39:57]  Right.
[00:39:58]  Guardian?
[00:39:59]  Or even more specifically, the IDF.
[00:40:01]  The IDF is saying these things.
[00:40:04]  And so it's to pretend that these things didn't happen.
[00:40:08]  It indicates a malicious motive.
[00:40:11]  Going back to the point of the ruse that has been pulled against the American evangelical, it's like, go look at your grandma's response, go look at your mom's response to the bombing in Iran.
[00:40:23]  I would flip a coin, I'd feel very confident that it was probably like, they scream death to America, bomb them.
[00:40:30]  And so it's this simplicity, this black and white that these malicious actors are trying to bring to these really nuanced, complex issues in the Middle East.
[00:40:40]  To garner this sycophantic support for war.
[00:40:45]  And then the worst part is, and this is just where we are in our day, is people are so disconnected from the real consequences of it.
[00:40:53]  This is why the Middle Eastern conflicts, Middle Eastern wars have been especially devastating, is because we actually don't feel it on the home front.
[00:41:01]  If you have 50,000, 100,000 American war fighters deployed in the Middle East, what's the likelihood that any given boomer is going to have a grandson over there?
[00:41:11]  It's not that high, actually.
[00:41:12]  I mean, if you think about how big America is 330 million people, 60, 70, 80 million boomers, they're not feeling it.
[00:41:20]  They don't see, they're not closely intimated with the tears, the absolute travesty that is war.
[00:41:29]  And as a consequence, they come to all of these naive conclusions.
[00:41:33]  And they're so easy at the end of the day, they're so easy to manipulate.
[00:41:39]  Yep, well said.
[00:41:40]  I really do think that it's simple.
[00:41:42]  I don't want to be overly dogmatic, but I think it's true.
[00:41:46]  If you are a Christian, you cannot support abortion, you cannot support homosexuality, you also cannot support Israel.
[00:41:53]  Israel, I believe, is in utter rebellion towards the Lord Jesus Christ.
[00:41:58]  You're talking about a nation that was founded on many things, but at least one of those things, if not the preeminent thing, was a rejection of Christ as the Messiah.
[00:42:08]  Saying, We identify with those who crucified the Lord of glory.
[00:42:12]  We think that they did the right thing.
[00:42:14]  We think that they crucified a false prophet and a blasphemer.
[00:42:18]  Israel does not stand for morality.
[00:42:20]  They do not stand for virtue.
[00:42:21]  They stand for pornography.
[00:42:23]  They stand for Marxism.
[00:42:25]  They stand for.
[00:42:26]  Transgenderism?
[00:42:27]  Like, who first introduced that?
[00:42:29]  Let's look at the history books.
[00:42:30]  What books were they burning?
[00:42:32]  Pretty much every ism that you can think of.
[00:42:35]  The Bolsheviks?
[00:42:36]  Who's behind that?
[00:42:37]  Well, it's the globalists, it's the Marxists, it's the Bolsheviks.
[00:42:42]  Guys, it's time for us just to call a spade a spade.
[00:42:46]  Can God save Jews?
[00:42:48]  Yes.
[00:42:49]  Are they made in the image of God?
[00:42:50]  Yes.
[00:42:51]  Are they his chosen people?
[00:42:53]  Are they special?
[00:42:54]  No.
[00:42:54]  Does Israel have a right to exist?
[00:42:57]  No.
[00:42:57]  And that's not special or particular to them.
[00:43:00]  No nation has a divine inherent right to exist.
[00:43:04]  They are responsible for maintaining their nation just like any other nation does.
[00:43:09]  They do not have a right to American military support so that they can keep their country and even expand it in the Middle East at the expense of Muslims who are killed and displaced, and then, lo and behold, coincidentally, wind up as refugees here.
[00:43:27]  In the West, it's enough.
[00:43:30]  Enough is enough.
[00:43:31]  If you want to bless God, then bless His people.
[00:43:35]  His people are Christians, not Jews.
[00:43:38]  You want to bless God and be blessed by God, then bless Christians.
[00:43:44]  Bless Christ and those who have union with Christ through faith, by the work of the Spirit.
[00:43:51]  Bless the Church of Jesus Christ.
[00:43:54]  Bless Christian nations.
[00:43:55]  Do not bless blaspheming.
[00:43:58]  Nations that hate the Lord Jesus Christ, that promote homosexuality, that promote abortion, that promote pornography, and that drag your sons into wars, use your tax dollars so that you can't afford to feed your family.
[00:44:14]  Enough is enough.
[00:44:15]  Let's be truly Christian all the way.
[00:44:18]  Let's be a lone bulwark against the moral insanity of abortion and homosexuality, transgenderism, drag queen story hour, and.
[00:44:29]  The United States of Israel.
[00:44:31]  We must stand against Babylon, real Babylon, actual Babylon.
