Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Hate Crime Charges DROPPED! Growing Consensus: Constitution Is DEAD
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The rainbow Gestapo, the good-stepping gay lobby, all of that stops right now.
Stare at the sun just for kicks all by myself.
I lose track of time so I might be past my prime.
People say we need to make America great again.
I completely agree.
We may need to make Gallows great again.
Literally so many people that need to have a millstone put around their neck and tossed into the sea.
Hey folks, welcome to the Millstone Report.
My name is Paul Harrell.
I hope you had a great weekend, a great long weekend.
Really do appreciate you being with us.
As always, we can't do the program without you.
We're going to ask really a question that we've been asking now for quite some time.
Good news, though, broke over the Memorial Day weekend.
Great news, in fact, amazing news.
Last year, a man named Michael Cassidy walked into the Iowa State Legislature and ripped a statue of Baphomet down, ripped its head off, in fact.
Cassidy then immediately turned himself into authorities to face the consequences, whatever they may be.
Initially, authorities were going to charge him with a misdemeanor and send him on his way.
However, a few weeks later, they changed their mind, no doubt from pagans who fear Christians doing stuff like this all over the country, and charged him with a felony hate crime instead.
The Iowa DA no doubt thinks Michael Cassidy hates Satan.
He does.
Well, over the weekend, the Iowa DA has had a change of heart.
Michael Cassidy took to X to announce, quote, not today, Satan.
Pleased to announce the Iowa DA just dropped their absurd felony hate crime charge and instead offered a deferred judgment misdemeanor, a fine, no jail time, nothing permanent on my record, which I accepted.
Many thanks to my family, my lawyers, my community, and the many Christians who have supported us morally and financially over the past several months.
When Christians stick together, we can and we will win.
I'll have more to say in the weeks ahead.
In the meantime, please use this Memorial Day weekend to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service of our nation.
Thank you.
What a victory.
What a day to celebrate.
What a win.
Michael Cassidy is a hero, and he did what members of the Iowa legislature should have done, but either didn't have the courage to do, or maybe they have the false belief.
It's probably a combination that they have the false belief that the First Amendment to the Constitution gives people the right to worship Satan.
It doesn't.
Say it with me again.
The First Amendment does not give you the right to be a Satanist.
That's like saying the First Amendment gives someone the right to be a supervillain or a mass murderer.
Which brings me to my next point.
Is the Constitution dead?
Over the last couple of weeks, I have highlighted several discussions over on Christian X about Christian nationalism.
What does that phrase mean?
The fact that our Constitution was written for a different people than are alive today, a moral and religious people is how Adams put it, and that blasphemy laws, laws against sodomy, stood court challenges until well into the 20th century.
In fact, Texas' anti-sodomite law wasn't ruled unconstitutional until the 21st century.
I've been covering these important conversations because they are of a particular interest to me personally.
As someone who grew up thinking the live and let live philosophy was appealing because it provided maximum freedom, the truth is our founding fathers didn't write the Constitution because they thought they were securing an American right to worship the devil or distribute porn or allow for gay mirage.
So these conversations have continued, and it seems there are more and more people climbing on board.
And of course, there's those who are sounding the alarm about it.
One of those people is a man named Wade Stotts from Canon Press, I believe.
And he's got his own show as well.
He posted a nine-minute video over on X titled, Yes, the Constitution is Dead.
Now in this video, he thoroughly explains why it's dead.
It's really helpful.
Just kind of boilerplate example of where we are today, how we got here.
It's really, really good.
Spoiler alert, one of the main nails in the Constitution's coffin, he says, was the Civil Rights Act in the 60s.
He's not the first person to mention that.
Rand Paul has railed against the Civil Rights Act for a while.
Well, I mean, he did it a long time.
I don't know if he's still doing it, but I remember this one viral MSNBC clip from a long time ago.
Tonight on the Millstone Report, let's ask the question.
In light of countless American legislators and politicians and judges who've fallen for the lie that the First Amendment gives Satanists the right to erect statues of Baphomet at our state capitals, And there's nothing Christians can do because we don't want to force our religion on society.
What is the next step forward?
If the Constitution is dead, as Christians, as Francis Schaeffer put it, how should we then live?
Let's go to the video and let's analyze this.
Again, this is Wade Stotts.
He put it over on Twitter over the weekend.
And again, people just...
I mean, there's been mixed reactions to it.
We're going to go over all of those today.
It came out in 1960.
Look out!
By the end, I might spoil a Sophocles play.
Now, I realize this is a big claim, but to even understand it, we have to address three questions.
One, what is a constitution?
Two, what was our constitution?
And three, what happened?
First, what is a constitution?
According to Joseph de Maestra, a constitution isn't in the first place a document.
It's a nation's history, traditions, and social fabric.
It's the unspoken things that constitute a nation.
Before it's written, it's unwritten.
Shout out, Natasha Bedingfield.
For Demaistra, societies can't be rationally designed from scratch.
Instead, constitutions evolve organically over generations from a people's unique character and experiences.
So you can't make a society with pen and paper, the same way you can't go up to a garbage dump and just put up a sign that says, this is a farm now.
That's good.
You can't make a society with pen and paper, right?
The society is already there, and then they're pinning basically a social contract.
But he also said there's things that go unset.
There's things that go unwritten.
There's things that you don't put in your constitution because it's assumed because you have things in common that you don't think, for example...
I mean, in its most basic element, there's nothing in the Constitution that addresses that men should go into men's restrooms and females, that men and women should be separate when it comes to public bathrooms.
Like, there's nothing in there, right?
Because it's assumed that we agree, like, men and women are different, and we want to protect women, and, you know, we want to keep men and women separate when it comes to these things because they're different.
That's not in the Constitution, right?
Now, that's the most basic one, but you could go even further and just talk about Christianity, right?
Christianity was assumed.
Now, you can point to the president having a few days...
Sundays, right?
Sundays don't count.
When a president goes to veto a bill, he's got a clock, right?
Congress sends him a piece of legislation...
And he's on the clock.
He's got X amount of days to veto it or, you know, whatever he's going to do to it.
But Sundays don't count against that.
Why?
Because Sundays are a Christian, that's a Christian, you know, Christian day of the way, the Christian holy day.
Once a week, Sundays are specifically about Christianity, and that's why it doesn't count.
So there are things in the document that obviously assume Christianity, but let's keep listening.
Well, you could, but...
You get it.
In his view, written constitutions are weaker than unwritten ones.
There are some things you shouldn't have to write down because they're so fundamental.
We tend to write things down when they're in trouble.
Take the YouTube channel, PastaGrannies.
The reason there's 500 videos of old Italian ladies making noodles is because they're some of the only people on the planet who still have these particular skills.
These are the real female superheroes.
Eat your heart out, Feige.
In a healthier time, these things were passed down organically.
We're only writing down these recipes when we're afraid we might forget them.
But back to the political.
A healthy society doesn't need a law against transing kids.
It's just assumed.
Just like a healthy business doesn't need a rule against cooking meth in the bathrooms.
Even biblical law wasn't given to Israel because they were doing so well.
But as decline sets in, more and more gets codified in an attempt to stop it.
Now, this is really a good point, and we've talked about this before, and this really goes into the series that we did on at least part one of Francis Schaeffer's How Should We Then Live?
As the society gets more and more immoral, there's more government laws, whatever that morality is, because that can even change what the definition, but let's just stick with the morality, the true morality that comes from God and his character that we find revealed in Scripture.
As the society gets sicker and sicker, you have more laws to try to govern those people, but immoral people are always going to find a way around laws.
Think the gun laws.
They're not made for the idea.
They're not made for people who are law-abiding citizens, but it's the law-abiding citizens who actually suffer from them.
But a criminal is going to get around a gun law, especially if they want to murder somebody, because murder is way worse than breaking a gun law, right?
So it's that kind of thing.
get lawmakers chasing society.
Yeah, so society is...
Yeah, this is great.
And so the question would be, in light of the ever-authoritarian state that is coming, that is being created to govern this increasingly wicked people...
How do you live?
But we're actually kind of past that, by the way, because now we have inverted the morality, right?
And the other side thinks they have the moral high ground and that transing kids is the moral, just, righteous thing to do.
But he is right.
The Constitution doesn't have to tell you You know, not to trans kids.
Why didn't they say that?
Because it was assumed that you would never do something so barbaric and evil.
In short, the American Constitution was created by and for a certain kind of people.
And you can't separate the document from the people it was written for.
John Adams said it was made only for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
And as Aaron McIntyre has pointed out many times, we are no longer moral or religious.
So, let's do some logic here.
And if you're not familiar...
Kind of a pattern of syllogistic...
So, premise one.
So, I just want to interject here before we go any further.
the reason this video is triggering a lot of the people on Christian Twitter who they don't want to they don't want to even talk about this phrase Christian nationalism or they don't even want to talk about the constitution being dead or talk about the idea that you know the constitution isn't sacred scripture it's not the bible they don't they don't want to talk about it a video like this that is you know catchy with the pop culture references goes a long way for a lot of
They know something's wrong, but this is a way to really get people on the right page, in my opinion.
People who are maybe more in the middle, or maybe you might call them normies, and that's one of the reasons why I think people on Twitter are like, I can't believe this, no!
We can't give up on the Constitution, and it's like...
It's not that I want to give up on it, but we're just stating the obvious that it's not working.
The jurisprudence that has corrupted the Constitution means that it's a parent's right to take their kid to a drag show to be ogled by half-naked men dressed up as women.
It's just insane.
It's like, well, we need the Constitution harder.
The Constitution is made only for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Premise two, America is not a moral or religious people.
And conclusion, the Constitution is inadequate to the government of America.
That's what you logic heads out there might call a valid argument.
The kind you can't deny without denying one of the premises.
Good God, isn't that something?
But it's not like only the unwritten Constitution changed.
The written one has two.
But that leads us to the next question.
What was our Constitution?
Now, the American Constitution has a reputation.
It's known for certain key themes, many of which might fall under the heading of limited government.
Separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, the Bill of Rights.
The Constitution was designed so that power wouldn't become too concentrated.
That way, the government would never do anything crazy, like kidnap your kids and give them sex changes.
So the next question is, what happened?
Aaron McIntyre's book, The Total State, does an excellent job answering this question.
Buy it, buy it, buy it.
But today, I want to look at a complimentary answer from Curtis Yarvin, seen here modeling the official Gen Xer Halloween costume.
In his essay, The Iron Polygon, Yarvin says that our country has gone through at least a handful of different republics, different forms of government, each building on the one before, and each in their own way, destroying the foundations of the old order.
First, there was the Congressional Republic.
Yeah, so this first republic...
Christian YouTuber A.D. Robles, he tweeted, and we covered this ex-post.
I'm sorry.
Do you still say tweet?
I don't even know.
But he covered this ex-post.
We talked about his ex-post where he said, if we returned back to the Constitution the way it was originally intended, many people would feel like it was an overthrow of the current-day American government.
And he's certainly right.
But I mean, people who are advocating for the Constitution as it was were so wicked now, people say, wait a minute, what?
What?
It's really interesting.
It's like an inversion.
You've got the people on the right that are supposed to be for limited government, but then the left would then say, but wait a second.
Limited government means that I need gay marriage, and limited government means transing kids.
We don't want government to make these decisions.
As a matter of fact, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, when he was back running for president, Sat down with Tucker Carlson, and that was one of his, he totally got destroyed over the trans and kids issue and everything else, because he vetoed a piece of legislation that was going to block puberty blockers, chemical castration of kids, because he didn't want the government to make those type of decisions.
It's the same argument that squishy Republicans are now making about pro-life in vitro, right?
We don't need to, it's really fundamentally they don't believe abortion's murder, they don't believe that life begins at conception, or at least many of them really, really don't, and the pro-life movement, that's why it's becoming the pro-choice movement.
Former Governor Asa Hutchinson said, we don't want the government to do this, and we don't want them to stop it, and this is a complete fallacy.
The idea that the government can't hold something up, call it wicked, and ban it and prevent it is just really a very modern contemporary concept, right?
But we have bought into the idea that America and the freedom that we have under the United States of America means that we have the freedom to be as wicked and there are no limits on anything.
I'm surprised we still have murder laws on the books, quite frankly.
And of course we don't when it comes to protecting the unborn.
The Republic of the Articles of Confederation.
First Republic.
Here we go.
First Republic.
It wasn't around long, but we loved it while it lasted.
Sort of like Twin Peaks or the McHot Dog.
People say that the only thing wrong with this period was that the Articles of Confederation were too weak.
But I think the worst part is that they were still more than 200 years away from this All-American treat.
Yes, the meat is the same color as the bun, but...
So I got ahead of myself.
The first republic, he's talking about the Articles of Confederation, but everything I said pretty much still applies.
That's because we don't judge by color here.
Next, there was the Constitutional Republic.
This is the one people think they still live in.
But the truth is that most people, even many who call themselves conservatives, would be horrified to live in this time.
In this era, American states had Christian blasphemy laws, Sabbath laws, state-level Christian establishments.
They even had state-level Christian establishment.
Many Americans that believe they live under this form of government, he says, would be horrified if they actually lived back then.
Now, what does that say about us?
And again, the question is, in light of this, in light of, what was the guy's name, Dunbar up in Iowa, one of our first Millstone reports was about Michael Cassidy tearing down that statue, and then you had an Iowa legislator, a Republican, saying, oh, we can't force our religion.
In light of these legislators that think that, hey, the Constitution gives you the right to worship Satan, and the Constitution gives you the right to erect a Satanic statue, and there's nothing we can do about it, In light of that, what do we do?
And in some cases, religious tests for office.
Things that if you advocated for today, people would call you names.
They would!
A religious test for office is a great idea.
Do you really want somebody who doesn't believe they're accountable to God when they die to be in office?
Of course, many politicians claim to believe in God.
I mean, doesn't Biden...
Didn't Biden do the sign of the cross on himself at a pro-abortion baby murder event?
Yes, he did.
And so there's a lot of people that are just liars out there, or maybe they're just, you know, they've deceived them.
They may be actively lying, maybe actively worship the devil.
There are people that are actively just lying and satanists.
Then there are people who are totally blind and All of them actually are blind if they're not followers of Jesus Christ.
...kick you out of their conferences.
What most people mean when they say they want to return to constitutionalism is to return to either the 1950s or the 1990s.
But if they were transported back to the actual constitutional order, they'd be horrified to see neither sock hops nor crop tops.
Mostly just tobacco crops and blacksmith shops.
And the legal constitutional order ended about 150 years ago with the Third Republic, what Yarvin calls the Unionist Republic of the post-Civil War period.
This Republic, Yarvin says, abolished federalism.
See, originally the states created the federal government to serve them.
I used to say this all the time when I was on radio, trying to get people to remember, the states created the federal government, the federal government did not create the states.
But, you know, really to no avail.
I mean, you say that as much as you want, but it doesn't really matter because the courts, you know, the courts and the administrative state have all the power, which he's going to get to in a minute.
But more on the Constitution.
Really, the form of government we lost because of the Civil War and just the complete disregard for...
I mean, it's like George W. Bush.
I have to abandon free market principles to save the free market.
Lincoln basically did the same thing.
I'm going to have to abandon the principles of America in order to save the Union.
I'm going to have to abandon American principles in order to save the American Union.
And what you had afterwards was not the same thing.
Was not the same country.
The other way around.
There's a lot we could say about the Civil War, but as Basil Gildersleeve said, it was a point of grammatical concord which was at the bottom of the Civil War.
United States are, said one.
United States is, said another.
Going to war over grammar might seem extreme to you, but is it any more insane than going to war over gay rights in Kandahar?
But the grammatical point was an important one, and one worth fighting about.
There was also the passing of the 14th Amendment, which Steve...
Going to...
I've never listened to Wade Stotts before until I saw this video.
I was not even aware of him.
But yeah, he...
Going to war over gay rights.
He's certainly on to the fact.
I think he's on to the fact that many of you are on to the fact, if you've listened to this program, that one of America's chief foreign policy exports is sodomy and the rainbow and...
Just go back and remember, go back and read when Russia initially...
Of course, Russia's banned LGBTQ propaganda in 2013, and then the Maidan Revolution, the U.S.-backed coup, happened in 2014, a year later.
But if you go back, when Russia invades Ukraine, you had people lamenting.
The head of MI6, I believe, and others lamenting...
Oh no, they're going to lose all of the progress from the trans community and the LGBTQRSTLNE. Would you like to buy a Val Enclave?
They're going to lose all that progress.
And then you realize, hang on, wait a second.
Is the Russia-Ukraine war actually the gayest war of all time?
I don't mean to make light of it.
Because, honestly, hundreds of thousands of people have died now unnecessarily as Ukrainians are conscripted and put into the meat grinder.
It's absolutely terrible.
I know Russians have died as well, but I mean, there's basically no more...
I know they still won't take an L on this, but there's no more Ukrainians for the most part in Ukraine.
Anyway...
I digress.
Back to this.
Wilkins does a great job explaining here.
CanonPlus.com, promo code WAIT99, you know the drill.
Also, Lincoln established everyone's favorite government agency, the IRS, something they didn't cover in the 2012 film.
And I don't see why not.
It's not like it would have made the movie more boring.
Don't worry, I won't spoil that ending.
But the reason the Civil War is a hot topic today is that these are still live issues.
Then there was the Fourth Republic, what Yarvin calls the New Deal regime, FDR's republic, which he says abolished limited government.
FDR is the one who created most of the alphabet agencies, Also known as the administrative state.
He's basically the Walt Disney of the swamp.
So as I watch this, did the change in government and authority, did that precede us becoming a sicker and sicker and more wicked and wicked people?
Or was it the other way around?
Were people becoming more and more sinful and the more sin that was tolerated led to completely undoing the government?
It led to the power-hungry actually taking the power We've talked before that many of these politicians that govern us today and have governed us for sure since the FDR's time.
I mean, I guess you could go back and find a few good politicians like Calvin Coolidge and maybe Warren Harding and some others.
But for the most part, after that, it's politicians who really, the way I describe it, they can't create anything for themselves.
Okay?
Or they don't create as well as people who don't have any interest in using power against other people.
And then you have the system where, okay, well, if you've got more sinners and we're going to have more unrighteous people that get in because that system is just going to attract people, then they use that power to destroy what they can't create themselves, whether it's wealth, whether it's business, whether it's taxation,
whatever, whether it's I want these regulations passed so I can protect my industry and I can, Johnny, sweep the legs out of anybody else out there that may be a threat to my industry and my money, which actually stifles progress, stifles innovation.
But yet the progressives would say, no, it's about progress.
Yeah, so a question, I don't know, which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Did the change in our government come from because we were becoming more and more immoral, or did the change happen in the government first over this progression of time, and then we became more and more wicked on this slippery slope?
I really don't know the answer to that.
The FBI renamed and expanded the FBI. He created the OSS, which turned into the CIA. These moves expanded the power of the executive branch, but destroyed the power of every future president.
That's because these agencies are technically part of the executive branch, but actively work against the president, especially if it's Trump.
without these agencies we wouldn't have had and Richard Nixon Russia gate the Mar-a-Lago raid or this genius because this was the beginning of rule by experts and as Michael Anton has said rule by experts just means rule by elite opinion if you haven't noticed elite opinion hates your guts but these are the kind of rulers that don't want you to notice that they're ruling here's your the key to power in the fourth republic is that no one who has power wants anyone to think of them as having power no one in the US is scheming for A lot of them seem to be working for change.
No one in the US is brainwashing the masses.
A lot of them seem to be educating the public.
No one in the US is ruling the world.
A lot of them seem to be making global policies.
They're just here to help out.
And why would you be scared of someone who's just trying to help out?
The FBI, that's just Andy Griffith with more money and machine guns.
So that's the Fourth Republic, and that's where Yarvin's essay ends.
But Aaron McIntyre and the guys from the Good Old Boys podcast suggest that we're now living in a fifth republic, the civil rights regime, which abolished just about everything that was left.
The strong man behind this republic was LBJ, who is the answer to the question, Who do you think is the most unattractive world leader?
He was basically the closest we ever got to President Blobfish.
The first person I heard criticize the Civil Rights Act was Rand Paul.
Then I saw Pastor Doug Wilson echoing those criticisms.
But until I read Christopher Caldwell's book, The Age of Entitlement, I didn't realize how much it had transformed the country.
Caldwell argues that they had inadvertently voted themselves a second constitution without explicitly repealing the one they had.
Each constitution contained guarantees.
But the Civil Rights Act made it the job of the government to root out inequality, which means rooting out bias.
What we call political correctness is the natural outcome of civil rights, which makes fighting bias a condition for the legitimacy of the state.
Once bias is held to be part of the unconscious of human nature, there are no areas of human life in which the state's vigilance is not called for.
Which brings you to hate crime legislation, right?
It's just the inversion of actual blasphemy laws that were overturned.
Now we have new blasphemy laws, which are essentially hate crime laws.
The government wants to know, if you commit a crime, this was the whole Michael Cassidy kind of bringing this full circle.
The government wants to know, if you commit a crime, they want to know, what were you thinking when you committed that crime?
Now, we know you were a criminal, but what kind of thoughts?
Were they hateful thoughts?
Were you hating somebody when you did it because of their race, because of their religion or creed?
Do you hate Satan?
Is that why you did this?
Well, we're going to charge you with a hate crime felony, and we're going to give you more time.
If you wouldn't have been so racist, if you wouldn't have been so bigoted, if your thoughts weren't motivated by your bigotry, We've given you a lesser sentence.
And that's the whole reason why they charged Michael Cassidy with a hate crime.
Now, of course, they dropped it.
If you're just joining us, they dropped it.
It was amazing.
He is just going to get no jail time, going to have a fine, and he's not going to have to do...
Nothing's going to be on his record.
Anyway, back to this.
Again, this video is a guy by the name of Wade Stotts, and it has made the rounds over the Memorial Day weekend, the holiday weekend.
Everybody's talking about it.
We live in now, and whatever you call it, it's not the 1789 Constitutional Order.
People assume that if you think the Constitutional Order is dead, you're necessarily faulting the Founders, as if we think they could have tweaked a few words 250 years ago and none of this bad stuff would have happened.
People have this idea that the Founders started the country and we've been living in the world they created ever since.
But that world is gone.
We can't go back to it.
I tweeted a few thoughts about this, and Joel Berry asked a fair question.
What should we do next?
Some of the books I've mentioned here have done that work, and there are a lot of folks building the future now.
A lot of the current conversation around this was started by a tweet from Nate Fisher, and he's one of the guys doing that work.
An American order existed here in the past, and there are still traces of it.
Whatever we do next, it needs to draw on that heritage.
It needs to be, at heart, American.
The question of what to do is a great one.
This is right.
Politically, I think one of the steps forward will be a lot of cutting back, much of which will be scary to modern conservatives.
If we think that the current system is the constitutional one, people will think we're gutting America of what it is.
If a president came in and abolished the CIA, some people would reflexively call that unconstitutional, even though that would make no sense on strict definitions.
As Nate points out here, our constitutional republic typically is a stand-in phrase for the status quo.
Some people would reflexively call that unconstitutional, even though that would make no sense on strict definitions.
Yeah, so Nate Fisher, we've covered his tweets before, and your idea of what I want is just as much a fantasy of the idea of the system we live under today.
I favor a limited government.
Yesterday I outlined a strategy to achieve vast cuts to the federal government.
More than anything I've seen you advocate, I support a vision closer to the original Constitution model than you, James.
What is he talking to, James Lindsay?
Who continued to support many of the Constitution.
He's an atheist, by the way.
He thinks the whole Christian nationalism thing is some sort of op.
To get the government to do what they're already going to do.
They want to put us in boxcars, and he thinks the people that are organizing the political resistance to stop them from putting Christians in boxcars are going to make the government put Christians in boxcars.
It's weird.
It's like, we can see that the bridge is out, sir.
Excuse me, sir, sir.
We see.
There's no bridge over here.
There's boxcars over here.
They say Christians only on them.
We know what's going on here.
It talks about the Warren Court.
I acknowledge the reality of the world we live in and what it might take to achieve this, while our constitutional republic is just a slogan to defend the status quo.
That's right.
Today, many, many conservatives on the right that claim, you know, talk about the Constitution.
They're trying to defend the pre-civil rights, or the post-civil rights Constitution.
They're trying to defend this live and let live.
Post-World War II liberalism meets right-wing libertarianism, although it's not that right-wing anymore because the Libertarian Party, they nominated an open borders candidate who believes in transgenderism.
So, what a joke.
we'll cover that later in the week Our constitutional republic typically is a stand-in phrase for the status quo.
So it's hard to make big changes to the status quo without conservatives lashing out.
We actually can have a government that stops getting in the way of people being normal.
And there may even be ways to positively encourage that.
On top of that, the people themselves have to embrace and celebrate normalcy.
As I've said before, the solution is top-down and bottom-up.
The problems are way bigger than most conservatives think, and so the solutions are going to take a lot more work than conservatives are used to talking about.
This video is just about knowing what time it is.
We need to be grateful for the actual American inheritance, tear down what we need to, and strengthen the things that remain, which might be more than we think.
In other words, you might be depressed about the state of America, but I wouldn't stab your eyes out and run into the wilderness just yet.
So, here's the thing.
A lot of this stuff, you say we need to tear down, and that's, yeah.
But a lot of this stuff's going to go, I'm just telling you right now, a lot of this stuff's going to collapse on its own.
And, I mean, that's my belief.
I really do.
I just, first of all, a house divided can't stand.
That's number one.
But number two, there are these built-in mechanisms in God's created order that just don't let this level of wickedness go forever.
And people, I mean, yes, we do need to be praying the imprecatory psalms over our families, but over our nation as well, praying that the Lord would break the teeth of our enemies and also protect whatever is coming, whatever...
To protect a remnant of godly people that can rebuild from the ashes, honestly.
Because our nation is on a path of destruction.
And we're imploding from within while at the same time our borders are wide open and we're being invaded by a third world barbarian horde that are not coming to take our jobs.
They're coming to take our homes.
That's the truth.
We're going to have more on the other side of this break for the fallout from this video, continue this conversation, and also we're going to obviously have to hand out some millstones, specifically to this Catholic priest who is getting everybody pumped up for Pride Month!
Yeah!
We'll have more on that here in just a minute.
This is the Millstone Report.
My name is Paul Harrell.
Terrell, thank you so much for watching.
War.
Inflation.
Rate hikes.
Banks crashing.
To call it shocking isn't even scratching the surface.
Many of us expect a financial crisis to happen, but how suddenly it could happen is frightening.
Is this how the next financial crisis begins?
We all don't know.
Which might explain why gold and silver are surging to record levels.
And if the value of the dollar continues to decline?
The demand for gold and silver could continue to rise.
So don't let your hard-earned wealth fall victim to the bad decisions of bankers, regulators, and politicians.

Before we go any further, though, I have to tell you about the Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company.
The Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company is, well, it's fantastic because it's veteran-owned, by the way.
It's a veteran-owned and operated coffee company that imports coffee beans from around the world and roasts them back home here in the United States.
They also donate a portion of the profits of every bag sold to Homes for Our Troops, which is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured, severely injured post-9-11 veterans to enable them to rebuild their lives.
At the Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company, they're committed to providing high-quality coffee beans while making a difference in the lives of other people.
Costa Rican coffee beans have a bright, pleasant acidity and flavor notes of citrus and tropical fruits.
With a higher caffeine content, this makes for a perfect cup of coffee for breakfast or a good pick-me-up.

Also, we have the card game that laughs at the left's expense, Left Wing Will and the Red Pill.
This was a game, just full disclosure, that I created and I wrote.
You just get to tell a different Left Wing Will story every single time.
He's a crazy leftist.
I mean, he believes in arguing without having any facts.
You guys are going to love this game, and you're going to laugh, and it's going to bring people together because we're not the crazy ones.
Yeah, Nancy Pelosi's mile-high eyebrows.
And those are some tame cards.
My favorite is a literal whale on a bikini on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
And, of course, this is before Sports Illustrated went belly up when we wrote this.
You get to tell Left Wing Will's story.
Does he get red-pilled in the end?
Will he get red-pilled?
Well, you've got to play the game to find out.

Back to this conversation.
The growing consensus, is the Constitution dead?
What we've been talking about today has to do with, well, first of all, we started with this.
Michael Cassidy, the hero, the Christian hero, who went into the Iowa Capitol last year and ripped the head off of the Baphobit statue.
For those of you that don't know, I'm sure many of you do.
Baphomet, there's that one drawing of it where Baphomet has female breasts, male genitalia, and then of course the goat head.
You can also go see the sick, satanic, the Katy Perry video from years ago called Extraterrestrial, where it's double helixes, a fallen angel in the DNA, and then eventually you have robots and half-animal, half-human hybrids at the end of the music video.
Really sick stuff.
We should actually analyze it someday.
Yeah.
There's a ton of stuff I would love to analyze and actually tie directly back to Genesis chapter 6 and this idea of attempting, Satan's attempting to corrupt the image of God as human beings, as image bearers.
But, not today.
This is fantastic, though.
Baphomet, he rips it down, they charge him with a hate crime, and then they let him off.
They say, no, we're not going to charge you with a hate crime anymore, and you have to know that the demons are seething over this one.
Especially, specifically, the Satanists who want the Baphomet statue to...
You know, they wanted blood.
They wanted Michael Cassidy to pay.
They wanted to use this as a way...
To discourage Christians from ever doing anything, any sort of civic disobedience.
You know, Cassidy immediately turned himself in to face the consequences after this.
Then we went over this entire video about, hey, is the Constitution dead and what does that mean?
Jeff Wright, oh no, the Soros-funded integrationist Christian nationalists have gotten to Wade.
Or, or, and hang with me on this because it's radical, Wade can see the obvious reality.
So that's more on that video.
We just covered the whole thing.
It was nine minutes, but I feel like it was, we have been covering these conversations for the last couple of weeks, and so when I saw this over the weekend, I knew I had to put it on the Millstone Report and share it with you guys if you haven't seen it yet.
Here's one of the alarmists.
He's saying that he's not willing to say the Constitution is dead.
He says, no, I'm not willing to say this is Denny Burke.
Who is Denny Burke?
Is he a professor of theology?
Is that Southern Baptist Theological Seminary?
Yeah, he's an associate pastor and a professor.
Okay, so he says, no, I'm not willing to say that the Constitution is dead because a guy makes a snappy Twitter video.
You see what I was saying earlier?
I was saying this earlier, that the fact that Wade Stotts there did such a good video and had these pop culture references, it has the ability to draw normies in, it has the ability to draw people in that haven't even considered...
Wait, what?
Yeah, you know what?
It's the Constitution.
I mean, we're in a situation where they're allowing all kinds of wickedness and evil, and it's just getting worse by the day, and they're now demanding that we call evil things good, and they're wanting us to call good things evil.
And people have had enough.
Anyway, this is one of the naysayers.
He says, claiming that our constitutional order has fundamentally transformed over our nation's history is uncontroversial.
Those transformations are real and indisputable, but saying that it has been compromised by the administrative state is also uncontroversial.
Who disagrees with that?
Hopefully all conservatives can acknowledge these realities.
Okay, he says, but claiming that the Constitution is dead, however, is another matter altogether.
One that seems to fly in the face of reality.
No, man, it doesn't fly in the face of reality.
Because the Constitution was a social contract, and it was written for a people who were religious and were no longer religious.
We've rejected God, we've pushed Him out of life, and He has turned His back on the country as well and left.
And, you know, what I'm really referencing, we covered this John MacArthur sermon from way back in 2006 last week where we talked about different types of God's wrath, and one of those wraths is abandonment, and that goes back to these little built-in mechanisms in God's created order where...
I don't know.
I don't care if our leaders are in on it or not.
Our leaders are in on it.
Our border's wide open and we're being invaded by a third world barbarian horde.
You know what I mean?
Nations tend to get conquered when they behave the way we have behaved for such a long time where they've spilled so much innocent blood, not just with abortion, but really all across the world.
He says the Constitution, though, contains within it the means of its own transformation, meaning you can amend it.
But when's the last time they actually amended anything?
They don't actually do it.
They don't follow the process for amends.
See, that's the thing.
See, this is ignoring the jurisprudence, the out-of-control judiciary, the Congress that has no courage to do anything because they actually hate the people they claim to serve.
serve they don't love we don't have leaders that love us and many of us many of our in the older generations have voted for these people and have made them perpetual political powerhouses the constitution contains within it the means of its own transformation when people say that the constitution is dead what they really mean is that they don't like the way it's been transformed but to act like the constitution isn't functioning in any way whatsoever isn't true it is functioning and it still has within it a means to transform into something better yeah no I mean, look...
It would have been one thing if they would have tried to amend the Constitution to get where we are today, but they didn't because they know they can't because the American people would never go around with it.
So they essentially did a series of judicial coups, jurisprudence coups, one after the other, and nobody ever did anything about it.
And they sold it to us.
And, you know, look, I think we forget just how many people in this country, and I know we said we have the majority, and look, I know what happened in 2020 and the election.
I get it.
It was stolen.
But, boy, there's still a lot of people that have participated in one way or the other down this slippery constitutional slope that we're on of immorality.
Sorry, I'm getting hung up in my cords here.
Next up, though, so anyway, that's one of the naysayers.
But then we have Nate Fisher saying, look, recognizing that the Constitution is largely dead doesn't necessarily lead to revolutionary conclusions, necessarily.
Many, maybe most societies throughout history have maintained some form of government without a strong Constitution, and in most cases, the prudent practice for people in these societies was to operate within the government that existed.
But more to the point, I think it's more precise to say the Constitution of the American founding is no longer operative, even if another one exists today.
And the one that exists isn't necessarily reflected in the text of the amended Constitution, which, for example, And this is a big problem.
I mean, we literally just went through.
I mean, I don't see how anybody can say it.
It's really wild.
I don't see how anybody can take this track that this Denny Burke guy is taking.
When we just went through, you know, 50, 60 years of legalized murder, all because nine people in a robe said so in 73.
And it's like, oh, sorry, states, you can't do anything about it.
And then we spent the last, you know, 60, 70 years passing pro-life laws.
Trying to do as much triage as we could, operating in this system, right?
And now, look, Christian Red States, as we're going to tell you about Louisiana here in a minute, Christian Red States are pushing back.
They're passing laws saying you can't trans kids.
They're passing laws saying you can't...
Look, I don't think anybody should be able to be trans.
I don't think we should validate anybody's delusion, personally.
I don't care how old they are.
Medical doctors promising this lie that you can change your gender, which is not true.
It's just not a true thing that can happen.
So I don't want society to promote a lie either.
But we have these states that are pushing back.
But at the same time, everybody is waiting for the Supreme Court, maybe not in its current makeup, but to just basically do another Roe vs.
Wade, but except on the trans-LGBT enclave.
And say, you know, you can't do anything.
You can't.
Sorry.
You can't pass any laws like that.
And then, what do you do?
What do you do?
When they say, we have the right to abuse our children.
It is child abuse.
Matter of fact, there's a fantastic, I think it was Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, did a fantastic opinion.
He was asked, I believe, by Jeff Younger or some politicians that were working on this bill in Texas to make essentially transient child abuse, opening up the child abuse statute saying, you are an abuser if you do this.
They asked Ken Paskin, hey, Paxton, what's the status right now?
I mean, isn't transing kids, even right now, under every law in almost every state in the country, isn't it already child abuse?
And he did an extensive opinion about it and said, yeah, actually, it's child abuse right now.
You don't have to have a new law.
You just need law enforcement to do their jobs.
And I honestly think that's coming down the pike, by the way.
I really do.
Breaking.
This was back on the 25th, so it's not breaking anymore.
But three days ago, over the weekend, been a long Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Louisiana Senate has passed legislation to forbid school staffers from talking to students in grades K-12 about sexual orientation or gender identity.
This is great.
This is, again, what is the Supreme Court going to come and say, we can't pass laws like this?
I hope not.
I hope they don't ever.
But this is, you know, one of the questions we asked before we watched that long video was, you know, what is the way forward?
This is certainly one way forward.
Because the federal government is, I mean, they're in the midst of collapse.
I mean, our entire country is in the midst of total collapse.
And, you know, combined with the degeneracy of the left and the invasion of the southern border, there are things that are in motion now that are going—I mean, there's going—it's going to come to a head, and I think state governments are going to be more important than ever.
That's what I think.
Here's Aaron McIntyre.
Leftist hegemony in America—I always want to say hegemony.
Leftist hegemony in American institutions is greater than ever, but they are so desperate to achieve total control that they manufacture delusions where the most mild opposition is actually a wide-ranging fascist plot that is one minute away from taking over the country.
Watching the rabid progressives' mind devour itself in a paranoid quest for totalitarian control would be very amusing if it wasn't so obvious that they were trying to manufacture the pretense to murder their enemies by branding them as the kind of terrorists who have already been killed by the state.
This is appeal to heaven.
We covered this last week.
The delusions over Appeal to Heaven don't stop.
Some lady named Denise Wheeler, she says, Appeal to Heaven flag isn't casual.
I support Trump thing like the Red Hat.
This is Waco-level Timothy McVeigh stuff.
Meaning, like Aaron McIntyre said, they want to kill us, put Christians in boxcars.
You have to be deep into MAGA to know what this flag means.
It says that we...
The Supreme Court is terrible.
I was just railing against the Supreme Court and how they may actually eventually do another Roe vs.
Wade or the equivalent of this is not good.
So, Denise Wheeler here.
She firmly believes, boy, that she's got the moral high ground on us Christians.
She's got the moral high ground.
We believe we have the moral high ground.
You tell me what's united about the United States.
What is united about the United States?
We got a...
It's unbelievable.
In other sad news, there was four girls stabbed in a Massachusetts AMC movie theater.
And the suspect was laughing the whole time.
That's what he looks like.
Well, he looks like the serial killer from Silence of the Lambs.
He puts the lotion on its skin.
The suspect who allegedly stabbed four young girls in Massachusetts, they got the guy.
Libs of TikTok says that, once again, Jared Reviza is a trans activist who's a man who thinks he's a woman.
So yeah, definitely looks like Buffalo Bill.
Just another example, you talk about the actual, so compare these tweets here.
We're flying flags that say, look, we're going to appeal to heaven and appeal to the throne of God for our wisdom and humility and submission.
Lord, have mercy on us in these dark times.
And they say that we're the equivalent of Timothy McVeigh, or what that really means is the FBI murdered...
A lot of people in Waco back then.
And you compare that to what's really going on is that people who are taking hormones or been brainwashed by the trans mafia while the media promoted and clapped like seals, they're actually going out and just stabbing women, little girls.
And these are the real terrorists.
These are the real terrorists, and it's another example in a long line of Of trans people who are turning to terrorism and violence.
That's the truth.
And in the meantime, let's see here.
We got some great stuff for you as we wind today's show up.
Okay, yeah.
So in the meantime, a little vaccine update here.
We have Kaiser Permanente.
So an ex-Kaiser nurse...
was fired for not taking the clot shot.
I don't know what kind of pandemic it is.
They're firing nurses who are willing to work.
I don't know.
Doesn't make sense to me.
That was 2021.
This is 2024 and I got a letter from them.
They didn't apologize.
They didn't offer me my job with back pay.
They just said I can apply.
They're letting me know that their policies have changed now and they're no longer requiring the thing we're not allowed to talk about.
How do I feel about that?
That's how I feel about that right now.
They also went so far as to say in this letter that the federal, state, and local government was making them do this.
But let me clarify that for all of you.
Kaiser Permanente accepted thousands of religious exemptions.
They just didn't accept mine.
So you can blame the government all you want, Kaiser, but this one is on you.
Follow along for more updates on my case and others like it.
And Kaiser, we'll see you in court.
That's right.
That's right.
Unbelievable that conspiracy theorists were right once again.
I know you guys know that, but...
Unbelievable.
Fake pandemic.
We've spent some time, in other news, we've spent some time talking about Kanye West before on this program.
We actually compared the...
Remember the so-called conversion story of Kanye West right before he released Jesus' King album?
And...
Excuse me.
A little cold today.
And now you go from Kanye West's alleged conversion to Christ to the news that he's going to be starting a porn site.
I think it was the last thing that I saw.
And people said, what happened?
I don't know.
But I think the parable of the sower in the Bible is probably the...
I think that's the best analysis.
You've got a sower and it goes on rocky soil and it might bloom, but there's not sufficient...
It dies and weathers and dies.
Or you have a seed that goes out and a bird comes and takes it away.
I think a Kanye West...
That may be it.
Because obviously his conversion wasn't real.
And so the idea of celebrities converting to Christ is a touchy one, depending on who you talk to.
A lot of people have been very skeptical about Russell Brandt.
He got baptized a few weeks ago, and he says he's a Christian now.
And people have worried about some of the things he's said.
They've worried that he's trying to marry New Age Enlightenment spirituality with Christianity, and people are concerned.
And they're saying, hey, wait a second, guys.
Don't run with this and say, oh, you know, we got one, you know, and look, it's true that if, it's true like a new Christian doesn't need to be put in behind the pulpit.
A brand new Christian doesn't need to be put in the choir, necessarily.
You know what I mean?
Like, you need to, I mean, you just think about what the Apostle Paul did when he came to Christ.
I mean, he went away and was discipled for three years, then he went to Jerusalem and he met with Peter and made sure he had the gospel correct before.
Anyway, But what do you do when it's your job?
What do you do when it's your job to communicate?
You are a communicator.
You are a podcaster.
You are already a celebrity.
You're Russell Brand.
And what happens when you come to Faith in Christ?
How could you not use your platform to tell people about it?
This video went viral over the weekend and it's causing a lot of people to rejoice.
Tell me what you think.
I've been a Christian a month now and it's been a big change.
Not that I've entirely changed as a person, of course I haven't, but I've taken on a lot of new concepts and it changes you to accept that it's not like you're in a game show and by doing really, really good things you can get redeemed.
No, repentance, to repent, means that you have to continually change and acknowledge that I am in a battle against myself, that I need to surrender myself to an ever-present, internal and accessible Jesus, that mercy is something that's Given to me, been granted to me, that I live with through love, not something that I can sort of win or achieve by doing good deeds.
It's brought incredible people to me, incredible literature to me.
It's brought a sense of peace.
And when I'm in doubt, I feel that instruction is there, accessible.
I feel like I know what I'm supposed to do.
And when I don't do what I'm supposed to do, that's even clearer.
When I feel myself being selfish or inconsiderate or putting myself first or Not thinking about how I can be better to other people.
It's as if there is an inner illumination available to me now.
I love the simplicity of the idea of God come to earth as a man to experience what it is to be human and to sacrifice himself because that's the only sacrifice that could bring us home, that could give us the opportunity for redemption.
I like the idea when I'm in prayer and in communion just alone that there is a figure available, wounded and coronated available to me.
In my failings and my failures and in my fallibility there is strength.
To be broken, not just broken by life in the sense of life is wearying and exhausting, but to be broken in the same way that you have to train an animal to behave itself, to be broken into better conduct.
It's a beautiful journey to go on.
I know I'm just at the beginning.
I know I'm just learning.
I know there's so much more to learn and I'm so excited to learn more from you and for us to learn together.
Let me know where your journey is taking you.
Can you remember your first month as a Christian?
And let me know if since I've been talking about this publicly, it's made you think about Christianity differently.
We're having lots of comments.
It's tough to argue with that.
Jesus Christ saves sinners, and the fruit of that salvation is love.
Again, I don't know what Russell Brand's journey is going to look like moving forward.
I don't know.
After that, I'm cautiously optimistic, right?
Everybody feels like they've got a tap dance around it, right?
Yeah.
The bottom line is God's in control regardless, and that's the most encouraging thought.
That's the thought that gets me out of bed every morning.
I don't know about you.
It's good stuff there.
Good stuff.
I needed to hear that today.
What else do we have?
Okay, we're running out of time.
We're going to have to give a millstone to the Catholic priest, James Martin.
Next time, next broadcast, we're going to...
This right here, identifying as a fat queer woman.
This has been making the rounds.
This is a queer fat club.
I'm queer and fat.
Okay, thank you for joining.
We're just introducing ourselves at the moment.
Okay.
Do you want to go ahead and introduce yourself, Joe?
Yeah, my name's Joe.
I go by he, they, and I identify as 275 pounds.
Okay, okay.
Um...
I feel like Jay is kind of making fun of me though.
I know it's kind of a shock, I know.
Kind of a new thing.
I'm just, you know, monk.
Do what?
I said I apologize.
Oh no, you're good.
Um, are you comfortable leaving the group at the moment?
Why, why?
I'm not understanding why you're joining the group.
This is the queer and fat group now.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I came here for.
Okay.
Um, and you said you identify as fat?
Yeah.
Okay.
This is just for fat-bodied people.
Yeah, I understand.
I identify as a fat-bodied person.
I'm not understanding where you're coming from.
Are you guys comfortable with me here?
I mean, I'm pretty chill on my end.
I'm not comfortable, no.
Can we take like a vote?
Somebody nominate that guy for an Academy Award.
As we approach June 1st on Saturday, this is what Christian fathers need to be doing during the month of Pride.
There it is right there.
Read your kids the Bible.
Tell your kids about the good news.
Don't taste the rainbow of Skittles.
Block the rainbow.
Use your shield of faith to extinguish the fiery darts of the devil.
And obviously the sword of truth, which is the Bible.
That's all the time that we have for today on the Millstone Report.
My name is Paul Harrell.
It's always great to talk to you, and we'll see you.
Unless I'm providentially hindered, we're going to see you tomorrow night.
