Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Juneteenth Turns VIOLENT, 10 Commandments BACK In Public Schools
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The rainbow gestapo The goose-stepping gay lobby All of that stops right now Stare at the sun Just for kicks all by myself 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.
Thanks again for being with us.
As always, we can't do the program without you.
Happy Thursday, everybody out there.
Always great to talk to you.
So, if you watched yesterday's program, you might have noticed I didn't mention Juneteenth.
And, quite frankly, maybe you didn't notice at all.
I talked to a friend yesterday who assumed that Juneteenth was a celebration of LGBTQ pride.
Which is kind of funny when you think about it.
I mean, the idea of Juneteenth is relatively new anyway.
I mean, it's a day where we're told that we should all celebrate the end of slavery because on June 19, 1865, is when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation Act in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.
Now, it was Donald Trump who made it a national holiday in an effort to pander to black voters.
So this is a new holiday, and many Americans still don't really know what it's about.
We all know that the banks were closed yesterday, and that much is true.
But this new holiday is so unknown that, again, some think it's a gay celebration holiday.
At least that was my experience of the person that I talked to.
Because it's in the month of June!
And that just demonstrates how infectious the LGBTQ lobby is and how they have the nation captivated under a spell.
Juneteenth celebrations have been around for only a few years and the LGBT is already crowding it out and distracting from what the holiday is supposed to be about.
So blacks have often lamented the fact that Black History Month, for example, is observed in the month of February, which is the shortest month of the year, and now their emancipation holiday is thrown in the middle of a month where the nation is expected to show support for gayness and sodomy.
Surely Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock will write this joke at some point in the future, if they haven't already.
But across the nation, black Americans gathered yesterday to celebrate Juneteenth.
And violence broke out at at least two places.
A local ABC affiliate in Wisconsin has this headline, quote, Detective opens fire on shooter who killed teen at Washington Park after Juneteenth event.
The gunfire erupted Wednesday night near Washington Park.
An investigator called it infuriating.
Now, the report goes on to say that gunfire erupted Wednesday night after a Juneteenth community event in Milwaukee's Washington Park.
A Milwaukee teenager died, a second teenager was hurt, and a third was taken into custody, end quote.
And more violence broke out over in Oakland, California.
ABC, again, has this headline, quote, Police say.
Police in California say an Oakland Juneteenth celebration turned violent when several people were shot.
End quote.
We actually have, I think, video footage of this chaos that ensued during the shooting because it was posted to X.
Watch.
This n***a shot.
Hold on!
Where's my brother's at?
Oh, hell not!
No, no, no!
He shot right here!
He's down!
He shot him in the breeze, b***h!
Let's go!
I'm alright!
So, anyway, the American family is under attack.
We can see the results of fatherless homes amidst the rise of feminism and the war to end the patriarchy.
This has also coincided with government welfare policies that incentivize single mothers to not get married and remain dependent on the government instead of fathers.
And all of this has happened as we've made our public school systems devoid of discipline and consequences for bad behavior.
Lowered academic standards and kicked God and prayer out of schools.
That last one is the kicker.
It's where the chaos truly begins or began.
Our public schools used to be places where children would hear about God and the idea that we are accountable to God.
Right and wrong were assumed because the teacher was a Christian and the administration was Christian and every day started with prayer and or a Bible verse.
Now that is all over.
For now, at least.
Our country is reaping what we have sown.
However, the state of Louisiana is trying to change all that.
Yesterday, the Louisiana legislature passed a law to require the posting of the Ten Commandments in every classroom throughout the state.
Praise the Lord for legislators in Louisiana with common sense.
I'm talking about those legislators who know what the real solutions are.
Those who want to turn back to God and his precepts and give children what they truly need in school.
The need for structure.
And what better structure to order our society and the minds of impressionable young children than the Christian Ten Commandments.
More on how, in light of Christ's redeeming work, the Ten Commandments are exclusively Christian.
Here in a moment.
That's going to be a fun argument.
Now, as you might expect, when the news of this positive development from the Christian red state of Louisiana spread, there were typical reactions from the left.
We'll get to those.
You know, the lefties who hate God and Christians.
However, there's also the peanut gallery of so-called conservatives who worship the modern-day American Constitution as it stands today, having been bastardized by courtrooms across the land.
Those who pledge allegiance to the pluralistic neutrality of post-World War II America, which is a complete myth because you're either a Christian nation or a pagan nation, They were quick to call out Christians as being just as guilty as the woke left trying to force their sex religion on children.
Which is preposterous.
Just goes to show how this mind virus works.
Here's some truth for you.
The Ten Commandments do not hurt children.
It's an objective fact that being exposed to the Ten Commandments is a good thing because they're from God.
However, exposing kids to LGBTQ plus groomers in school or pride parades where grown men literally expose themselves to kids is harmful, wicked, and evil.
Some on the right...
Like war clandestine, are blind and are believing lies.
The idea that cultural neutrality exists or having a neutral worldview exists is a lie from hell.
We're either wheat or tares.
Are we going to be a sheep nation?
Are we going to be a goat nation?
And the fight rages on.
Let's go to the screen, shall we, for more on this.
Now, I pulled an article from 2005 just because there's going to be plenty of people.
And this is mainly, in many ways, on the conservative side of things.
There's going to be plenty of people that are going to say that this is unconstitutional.
And again, I know the Supreme Court was made up completely different, looked completely differently than it does today in 2005 versus 2005.
But it says here that the Supreme Court on Monday, again, this is June 27, 2005.
This is, you know, the month of June when Supreme Court cases typically come out.
Back in 05, they say that they split, that on Monday they struck down certain Ten Commandment displays inside courthouses but gave more leeway when such exhibits are on the grounds of public property, like a school.
Basically, they said, look, the High Court said displays of the Ten Commandments, like their own courtroom, of course, you've got Moses holding the Ten Commandments on the building, are not inherently unconstitutional, but each exhibit demands scrutiny to determine whether it goes too far.
A sharply divided Supreme Court on money upheld the constitutionality of displaying Ten Commandments on government land, but drew the line on displays that promote religion.
Well, so, I mean, that's the argument, right?
Do the Ten Commandments support religion?
See, we all know that that's actually not a bad thing.
It's a good thing.
We're all for it.
But just to kind of tell you where the precedent is, the jurisprudence that so many people like to worship.
That's where it is at.
So I guess I'd say that putting Ten Commandments in every classroom in Louisiana is not a violation of the First Amendment, according to modern-day Supreme Court opinion.
Again, they could change that because you never know.
The makeup's different, but just so we're clear.
Of course, we all know that it's not.
Regardless of what nine people in these black robes say, because we know that the Constitution, as it was originally intended, allowed for stuff like this, right?
Because unless Congress makes the law establishing the religion, unless it's an official act of Congress, then, you know, no bueno.
This was the...
BNO News.
This is where I first saw it yesterday.
Just in Louisiana becomes the first state to require the Ten Commandments to be posted in classrooms.
What's so bad about this?
I am the Lord thy God.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make of thyself any graven images.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
Honor thy father and mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.
That's the text.
That's from the bill.
That's what's going to be going up in Louisiana.
And, you know, you contrast that, you know, kids being exposed to thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery.
And, you know, you compare that to what we saw just a second ago, these shootings that broke out.
Do you think the people in this video, when they were in public school, the shootings that broke out of this Juneteenth celebration, do you think these people had the Ten Commandments hanging on their classroom wall?
No, they shoot me.
Get out of here.
Let's go.
Where's the shit?
Come on.
Go.
Go, come on.
This is exciting.
Oh, hell no.
Hell no.
Yeah, I'm just going to go on a limb here, and I bet they didn't.
I bet they don't even know what the Ten Commandments are.
Many of them don't.
Just an observation.
Of course, here's the typical leftist reaction.
We have Gavin Newsom, who's widely speculating that Gavin Newsom is going to be used to replace Joe Biden because he's a dementia patient.
Although I'm still not convinced.
I really am not.
I know Tucker Carlson said that Gavin Newsom is going to replace.
I know he did a show on that the other day.
I don't know.
I mean, if they stole it the first time, they can steal the election the second time.
So it really doesn't matter who they run, even if he is just some obvious puppet.
The puppetry aspect of this, I don't think people talk about this enough.
Who's accountable for the...
Real quick, side note.
We're going to go on a little rabbit trail for a second.
Who's accountable for...
For the Joe Biden administration.
Now, if it were anybody else, you would say, you know, you would say, well, who's the president?
That's where the buck stops.
Well, not with Joe Biden because he's a dementia patient and everybody knows it.
Even the Democrats that continue to support him because they're supporting their party, right?
They're in lockstep.
They know that their policies are safe and more likely to get enforced from the executive level as long as there's a Democrat in office.
But who's really responsible?
Well, we don't really know.
I mean, it could be Obama.
It could be Valerie Jarrett.
It could be...
I mean, we don't really know who's making the day-to-day decisions, who's making the strategy, because...
I mean, he's a puppet.
We really don't know exactly.
I guess what I'm saying is when Barack Obama was in office, he got directly criticized because he was competent.
You knew he had agency.
You knew he was still sentient.
Likewise with Donald Trump.
We all know how the media treated Donald Trump, right?
He's the focus of evil in the modern world.
Because it's Trump.
But here we have a dream scenario for totalitarian freaks and dictators.
You've got the part...
You can steal the election, because they did it the last time.
You've got this guy who's just a figurehead.
But he's a fake...
I mean, he never...
Bears the brunt.
He's not held responsible for what's going on because it's just assumed that he's not the one that's actually making day-to-day decisions anyway.
So you've got all these other people, and it could be a community of oligarchs or whatever that are making these decisions, but they never have to really answer.
There's no one that has to answer.
I mean, Kareem Jean-Pierre, she's not held accountable to this anyway because you also have a feckless media that doesn't care and isn't on it.
I just think this arrangement right now, I mean, it's a dream for totalitarians.
It's a dream for the deep state.
It really is.
So these people that say they're going to replace Biden, I am not convinced.
I suspect if they do, then this idea that people are saying the turnout's going to be too big to rig, which again I'm skeptical of, but I guess if they were to actually replace him, I think that would signal that they really are worried that it's a possibility that the vote for Trump can be too big to rig, if they really were to replace Joe Biden.
Anyway, Gavin Newsom comes out in the news of the Louisiana legislature passing this bill to put the Ten Commandments in every school in Louisiana and says, Louisiana has the worst crime rate in the nation, but this is their priority.
Now, this has come from Gavin Newsom, where he literally has a fecal matter problem.
I mean, he literally has a defecation problem in his cities.
He's got a homeless problem that's insane, which crime goes right along with it.
Not to mention, you've got crime where people...
By the way, that shooting was just in Oakland, California, that we were just showing you.
So you've got that, obviously.
But you've got people that just break...
People leave their car doors unlocked so that they can be stolen from.
They're asking the criminals, hey, we know you're going to steal, but just please don't break our windows.
The car doors are already unlocked.
I mean, he's got a huge crime problem.
California has a giant crime problem.
But of course, as I said earlier, these are lefties that hate God.
They don't believe in the Christian God of the Bible.
They don't believe in submitting to him.
They are not Christians.
And so they don't see that putting the Ten Commandments in the school might actually...
Because first of all, it is...
It is the Holy Scripture.
It's part of the Bible.
It's part of the Holy Scripture.
And we know that the Scriptures are double-edged swords that are capable of changing the hearts of men, piercing the hearts of men.
It's powerful.
Even little children.
That the words of God, through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, can change people's hearts and minds.
And so, Gavin Newsom obviously doesn't believe that, right?
You may not believe that out there listening, although I suspect many of you do.
It just goes to show you the complete disconnect that we have.
We have a problem here in the United States of America.
We are not united.
This secular pagan governor of the state of California doesn't seem to understand how getting people the standards of God, the law of God in the classroom could actually help people to sin less, to kill less, to murder less, to build strong families.
It can actually work.
It's certainly not going to harm anything.
That's the other thing.
It's certainly not going to harm the kids.
Like the rainbow brown shirts will harm kids.
Okay, so that's that.
Now here comes the Republican peanut gallery.
And I am grateful for clandestine.
At war clandestine.
Also, I think bio-clandestine, that was, I think, his telegram account.
I just want to say, at the outset, I appreciate what bio-clandestine, war-clandestine did when Russia invaded Ukraine.
He's the source of where I got all of the stuff about the bioweapons labs that Putin was actually worried.
Obviously, he was worried about NATO encroachment, but there were also bioweapons facilities.
Probably gain a function at this point.
And the idea was that Putin was also worried about the United States doing what they did to China.
The United States working on a virus in the United States, sending it to China where it leaked.
And basically, the idea was that Russia was going to be worried that they were going to be used as the next ground zero for a pandemic.
Right.
Came out of Russia, or came out of China at first, and now it's coming out of Russia, but it would have been made in Ukraine.
So, yeah.
And then, of course, we have the famous, I mean, he was, I think, banned for that.
We have the famous Marco Rubio, Victoria Nuland, where Victoria Nuland admits they have bioweapons facilities in Ukraine.
And Rubio didn't expect her to say that.
So, all I'm saying is, I appreciate a lot of what he does.
On here, he's dead wrong.
He's taking this line of history, this secular, pluralistic, post-World War II line, calling out Christians, saying that we're the same as the LGBT woke sex religion pushes on kids.
Which is just practically, on its face, preposterous and not true.
He says, conservatives and Christians, if you are celebrating Louisiana mandating the Ten Commandments being shown in the classroom, you are falling for a trap.
No, we're not.
No, we're not.
We're not buying the lie anymore.
Kicking God out of schools means it gets...
Look, the lie we're not buying is that live and let live is a thing that the left wants to do.
And really, the right says they want to do it, but they don't really want to.
I guess maybe some libertarians really do want to live and let live.
But the left doesn't play by those rules.
But what live and let live fundamentally means regardless is you've got to be okay with taking kids to drag shows.
And you have to be okay with a parent having the right to give their kid puberty blockers.
That's where live and let live gets you.
Obviously, look at our society today.
So if transing kids is where live and let live gets you, this is the problem.
People are saying, okay, well, we need to have a Christian nation then.
Right?
I mean, that's obviously the answer because neutrality does not exist.
And if live and let live means I have to just accept somebody's freedom to trans themselves, even an adult, by the way, No.
People are saying no.
Just like we hold up murder and say it's morally wrong, we can hold up these other things and ban them.
While at the same time putting good things in front of our kids.
Like banning pornography and mandating the Ten Commandments going to public schools.
What a win this is.
So cue the people that say the Christian nationalists are dangerous.
He says, though, this country, and this is where he's wrong, this country was founded on religious freedom.
That doesn't mean your religion.
Your religion, he says, it means all religions.
And no, that's not true.
That's not true.
The Christian religion was the presupposition.
Yes, we had disagreements within a Christian denomination, a Christian structure, different denominations.
That's why different states had legal, official denominations of their states.
But it was assumed that we're talking about the Christian God of the Bible.
It's assumed that we're talking about Jesus Christ as our focus of worship in the United States of America.
And that is just true.
It wasn't about putting mosques up.
It wasn't about putting temples up.
It was about Christianity.
That's what this country was.
Exclusively Christian.
And you can go look at the Constitution.
You can go look at Article 1, Section 8.
Where Sundays don't count.
Sundays are an exclusively Christian holiday every week, right?
52 holy days throughout the year, holidays throughout the year in Christian context, right?
Where we go to church and we worship God.
And so in the Constitution, when the President's on the clock and Congress has sent him a bill and is saying, hey, look, you've got this many days to veto it or it can become law, well, the President has a clock.
The clock's ticking.
He's got so many days to do it, but not Sundays.
Sundays do not count against the clock.
Sundays don't count as a work day.
That's an exclusive Christian holiday.
The President of the United States has literally assumed that he will be a Christian.
It's literally assumed that they're not going to burden him with having to think and debate and work on Sunday because you need to go to church and you need to worship and you need to take a day to cool it.
America is a Christian nation.
America was founded as a Christian nation.
America presupposed a moral and religious people that were Christians.
Not moral Muslims or moral Jews or moral Buddhists or moral Hindus.
This notion is totally foreign to the way this country was originally intended.
And then he goes on.
He gives the classic line.
If you want to practice your faith, you are more than welcome to.
We will.
We will, but thanks for the permission.
And the state cannot tell you otherwise.
But using the state to mandate that others must adhere to your religion is not the way to go about it.
Well, that's not what's going on here.
They're just posting the Ten Commandments.
You've got Christians in Louisiana who went to the voting booth and they voted for Christian Republican legislators.
Those legislators then went to Baton Rouge And they passed this law for the betterment of their people, for the betterment of the kids going to public school.
And they're not Congress.
The Louisiana state legislator is not Congress.
They did not pass any law respecting an establishment of religion.
And even if Congress were to, say, put up a statue of the Ten Commandments, that's not mandating or taking any authority whatsoever over the church, which the phrase separation of church and state, which is not in the United States Constitution, as we all know, that phrase was never about keeping the church out of influencing government.
It was about keeping the government from controlling the church.
Okay.
And this is not complicated.
This is really basic stuff, but somebody like War Clandestine doesn't get it because it doesn't fit with this libertarian mindset, this post-World War II. We have a pluralistic society.
Well, where did the pluralistic society get us?
And this is why you have states like Louisiana doing this.
There may be several legislators that may not quite even be able to articulate it this way, but you know what they see?
Evil.
They see evil.
They see that it's rising.
They see that they themselves, and they may not see this, but I see that God himself is raising these local state legislators up.
He's raising them up because he's sovereign over these governments, and they're doing things that are good for the people of Louisiana.
Praise the Lord.
I love stories like this.
I also love when these are the reactions of conservatives, so-called conservatives, so-called people that are on our side in a lot of areas, right?
Maybe not all.
Obviously not all.
But here's the kicker that really gets me upset.
He says, I understand the left have gone completely off the wagon and mandated their woke religion on everyone, but that doesn't mean we have to replace their woke religion with another religion.
Yeah, it does.
Because we're not replacing it, we're restoring it.
We're restoring it.
This is about restoration.
I mean, we're watching...
The re-paganization of Europe, but this country wasn't populated by pagans.
And so, people want to stop the paganization of America from what it was, which was a Christian country.
Christians can yell at me in the comments all you like, but I am correct.
Well, see, I commented.
I didn't yell at them, but I commented here.
Trying to just wake him up that he's obviously just, he's wrong here.
But he already says he's correct.
If you all support this, you are just as bad.
This is what's crazy.
You are just as bad as the Dems, just the opposite direction?
No!
That's preposterous.
That's preposterous war.
We're just as bad as the Dems?
The Ten Commandments hurt no one.
They hurt absolutely no one.
Sexually exploiting children hurts children and is evil and wicked and bad.
Ten Commandments, good, righteous.
Sexualizing kids, grooming kids, bad, evil, wicked.
And you can't see that.
And you say, we're just as bad as them?
Come on.
Come on.
Wake up.
Clearly, practically speaking, that is a lie.
No, we're not.
Just because we don't want wokeness in our schools doesn't mean we need to go full-blown Puritan Christian theocracy.
That's not what this is.
See, this is what's crazy.
If the Constitution, as it originally intended, where blasphemy laws were on the books...
Where anti-sodomy laws were on the books.
If it was actually, and they were considered constitutional, they withstood court challenges, if that actually happened, somebody like War Clandestine would think the United States government had become a full-blown Christian Puritan theocracy.
They'd think that the entire government was overturned.
Because we've gone so far.
And then he says, if you want to send your kids to learn Christian values, send them to Christian school.
This is what you don't understand, War Clandestine, Clandestine.
Public schools used to be Christian schools.
Say it with me.
Public schools used to be Christian schools.
That's why the Catholics created their own schools.
Catholics created Catholic schools.
That's why there's so many more Catholic schools.
It's because when the Catholics got here...
And, you know, they started growing.
The public schools were basically Protestant.
They were Protestant Christian schools.
All of them were.
That's why there are Catholic schools today.
Because, you know, there's obviously theological differences.
And they created their own schools because they knew that the public schools were so Protestant.
So this is a response to having our Christian Protestant schools taken away from us.
And those people...
That allowed it to happen.
We're trying to correct the error.
But their warped view, this post-World War II origin story of America, post-World War II, has gotten people like Clandestine on board.
And he's down with it to protect our pluralistic society.
Because all of that is working out so well for us right now.
More on this in a minute.
This is the Millstone Report.
We've got to take a break.
back here in just a moment.
Remember 2019?
A gallon of gas was $2.60.
A dozen eggs cost $1.40, and a pound of beef was $3.00.
But now, gas is $3.66, eggs cost $3- $4, and beef is almost $5.00.
But that's not because food is getting more expensive.
Thanks to inflation, your dollars have lost 99% of their value in the last 90 years.
So if you're counting on your money to last, don't trust the dollars in your account.
Trust the only thing that's held its value over time, gold and silver.

This is the Millstone Report.
Before we go any further, let me tell you about Bearded Sergeant Coffee.
The Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company is a veteran-owned and operated coffee company that imports coffee beans from around the world, 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.
Homes for Our Troops is a publicly funded, non-profit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9-11 veterans to enable them to rebuild their lives.
At the Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company, they are 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 a perfect cup of coffee for breakfast or a good pick-me-up.

Alright, so, we were just talking, just right before the break, about the Louisiana state legislature passing a law.
That requires the Ten Commandments to be distributed in all of their classrooms.
We've been celebrating this, and we've been calling and criticizing people, like California Governor Gavin Newsom, who criticized it.
But also, bio-clandestine or war-clandestine over on Twitter, he thinks conservatives and Christians are doing exactly what the left does, that we're just as bad as the Dems, just in the opposite direction, which we just told you is preposterous because...
The Democrats are sexualizing kids and we're just putting the Ten Commandments up in a classroom.
You know, the law of God that tells people not to kill, not to murder, not to cheat on their spouse, not to covet what other people have.
Not to worship false gods, but to worship the one true God.
To honor your father and mother.
Oh my!
That's just as bad!
That's just as bad as sexualizing kids in school.
Give me a break.
So, this is not a serious argument.
As many serious things as Klandestine has talked about before, this is not serious at all.
Then we have Eric Erickson, who is firmly in the establishment Conservative Inc.
media.
Eric Erickson says this about it.
Which I was very disappointed in this take, but he says, I graduated from a Louisiana public school where most classrooms had the Ten Commandments on the wall.
The posters had been donated by a church.
But when third grade reading level is only 49%, I don't see why the state wants to spend money on lawyers for a probably unconstitutional law making the Ten Commandments mandatory just to virtue signal a side in the culture war.
Actually use conservative reforms to fix the schools instead of putting up posters half the third grade cannot even read.
Well, that certainly is a take.
Conservative reforms to fix the schools.
So here's the thing.
We took God in prayer out of schools.
That is the problem.
This is a step in the right direction.
You might even say it's only a glance in the right direction, but this is the solution.
This is the way forward.
And it's also not unconstitutional.
We have this.
Louisiana's Ten Commandment law is great, and to be clear, it's completely constitutional.
This was a comment on one of Erickson's posts.
Josh...
Abitoy.
He's a managing director at New Founding, executive director of American Reformer, Claremont Institute, Lincoln Fellow.
Really good.
Yeah, the folks at American Reformer, the folks at New Founding, they're doing great work.
All right, so he says, for one thing, contrary to the wrongly decided Everson, states can have establishment under our Constitution.
For another thing, posting religious symbols like the Ten Commandments across, etc., It's funny, I just saw a clip from Cromwell.
Cromwell with Richard Harris and Alec Guinness.
I was watching that before I came on the air today.
It was the scene where the Church of England had dictated that they put like a golden cross.
That's it, just a golden cross in their worship service.
And Oliver Cromwell, or Richard Harris' portrayal of Oliver Cromwell, saw the cross and had a complete meltdown and went down and said, Is this not a Protestant church?
I just, you know, destroyed it all.
Anyway, so the government control over creeds or forcing a book of common prayer or anything.
I mean, that's what America was trying to do differently.
Not keep religion and Christians from influencing public life.
Mandatory attendance at worship.
Okay, that would be a thing.
So that's not what we're talking about.
Use of the state church to record births, to perform all marriages and funerals, and to administer tax revenues to care for the poor and widowed.
Today we regard these tasks as civil functions.
But in the British-like establishments of the 18th century America, these matters were within the jurisdiction of the established church.
Confining public office and voting rights to members of the state church or using a broader religious test to include only select non-conformist religious tests and preferences for granting military commissions, government contracts, admission to university and faculty appointments.
This is again Josh Abitoy saying this to Eric Erickson in response to his response to him saying rather that We shouldn't do this.
We shouldn't put the Ten Commandments in because it's just going to cost money and lawyers to have to defend it.
And to that I would say, look, back when Roe v.
Wade was the law of the land, we passed pro-life bills knowing they were going to get challenged in court, knowing we were going to have to defend them, but we did it anyway.
Do you know why?
Because it was the right thing to do, because children were dying.
Having scripture like the Ten Commandments or prayer out of public schools is putting kids on a path to hell.
Could you do more to fix reading efficiencies?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
You ever think about honoring God at the beginning of every day might actually put everybody on the right path to be able to learn to read more efficiently?
You ever think that that might be a blessing as a result of honoring God corporately in your school?
I mean, that's what I think.
I don't know about you.
William Wolfe, former Trump administration official, also...
He's the president of the Center for Baptist Leadership.
If you claim to be against a state religion in America but never clearly point out how the only present threat of a state-sanctioned religion in our country comes wrapped in the rainbow flag and persecutes Christians, then you're just LARPing.
He's got an excellent point there.
Also, now here we go.
I mentioned earlier that we were going to talk about how the Ten Commandments It's actually an exclusive Christian list of commandments on this side of the cross, on this side of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
And that's because of what Stephen Wolf says in response to Andrew T. Walker.
Andrew Walker is an ethics and public theology professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
We're going to get into the theological weeds here, but bear with me.
I think you're going to appreciate this.
Even as a Baptist, I support the Louisiana law mandating the posting of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.
Baptists affirm that the separation of church and state as formal institutions, each within their own jurisdictions, we do not advocate for separation of government and morality.
The law does not legally codify either Judaism or Christianity as a state's established religion, which was the original meaning of the Establishment Clause that our jurisprudence has sadly and wrongly mangled.
Moreover, since the two faiths affirm the values of the Ten Commandments, how can two faiths be established simultaneously?
Okay, talking about Judaism and Christianity.
posting it must come with the preamble that states that the Ten Commandments played a prominent part in the American public education for almost three centuries.
In short summary, this law mandates that historical recognition of the religio-ethical foundations of American law, of which the Ten Commandments materially contributed, laws and the ethics of undergirding them do not arise in a vacuum, so it is good to play homage to Western laws laws and the ethics of undergirding them do not arise in a vacuum, so it So for more on that,
We go to Stephen Wolfe, the author of The Case for Christian Nationalism, who retweets Andrew Walker and says this.
The Ten Commandments in themselves are natural and universal, apply to all.
But the actual fulfillment and action are distinctly Christian, since worshiping the true God requires you to worship the triune God in Christ.
according to the institutions of Christ on the day appointed by Christ.
Consider apart from the things of grace, the Ten Commandments are in their totality false, just as natural theology can be true in particulars, but false as a whole because it lacks the fullness of God's revelation.
So non-Christian Jews, or any non-Christian, can affirm the Ten Commandments in appearance, but never fulfill them in action.
The revelation of God in Christ stripped ownership of the Decalogue from the Jews and gave the Ten Commandments to anyone who puts their faith in Christ.
The Decalogue is universal and natural, but the property of Christians alone.
The property of Christians alone.
I told you yesterday that you might want to check out the book, The Case for Christian Nationalism, written by Stephen Wolf.
Food for thought.
I said earlier it was going to be an argument, but how can you even argue with that?
How can you even argue with that?
He's exactly correct.
Earlier in my monologue, if you're just joining us early in my monologue, I mentioned that.
We were going to talk about how the Ten Commandments on this side of the cross, on this side of Christ's finished and complete work, are actually exclusively Christian now.
In other news, in sad news, another illegal immigrant has murdered, well, has killed.
An illegal immigrant that shouldn't have been here has killed an American.
Ignacio Cruz Mendoza, who had been removed from the United States multiple times.
I'm told 16 times this man was deported.
He's been arrested after his truck went off the road and dumped its load of pipe and angle iron on top of five other vehicles.
The semi-truck driver who was arrested after a fatal crash on Highway 285 last week was Why can't they just say that he's illegal?
He's illegal and he invaded his country.
He's been previously removed from the country multiple times.
The Colorado State Patrol said Ignacio Cruz Mendoza, 47, was arrested on vehicular homicide and vehicular assault charges after the crash Tuesday afternoon.
The driver of one of those vehicles, 64-year-old Scott Miller of Bailey, died at the scene.
Another driver suffered serious injuries.
This is the cost of unchecked illegal immigration.
Here's the family.
Here's the family of the deceased.
64-year-old Scott Miller.
This is his daughter.
He was just young.
He was only 64 and I just want everybody to know my dad was fun.
He was an awesome dad.
He was an awesome grandfather.
He left behind a grandson and a granddaughter.
And they miss him.
We're all gonna miss him.
Officials say Cruz Mendoza was in the country illegally and did not have his commercial driver's license.
There is a lot of layers to this that goes from the federal government down to the state and local government.
Where there's just a lot of things that are falling through the cracks to make sure that our drivers that are on the roads are safe.
Miller's family tells us he was a truck driver himself who always urged safety on the roads.
Since I was a kid, always told me to be careful of driving around trucks, especially in the mountains, because it takes an extreme amount of skill.
Rimi's getting a sled ride!
His loved ones say this is all just the beginning of a push for justice and awareness.
Say a prayer for that family, again the family of Scott Miller, his daughter, his wife that he's left behind, other family that he's left behind.
This is another example of the real blood cost.
That is happening because we refuse to do what governments used to do, which is secure their land and secure their people.
The border can be secured.
You can build the wall.
If there are places that you can't build a wall, you need to put landmines.
You need to militarize the border and put landmines all across it, and we can end this like that.
Then, likewise, we can go to work on the tunnels.
This man was deported 16 times.
This illegal invader, 16 times deported according to...
Let's see, who has this story over here?
The exact number in wokeness.
Heartbreaking border tragedy.
16 deportations, you see right there.
16 times this guy has come back into the United States, or 17, and...
Now he's killed somebody.
And I'll take this as an opportunity to remind everybody out there, I know this guy was driving a truck, didn't have his commercial driver's license, but just from the Venezuela aspect of this, the third world barbarian horde aspect of this, these people coming over here, you have to watch your young children like a hawk.
Not just for obvious reasons.
I'm talking about just people who don't know how to drive.
I'm talking people that don't know about, you know, American...
Just cultural courtesies when you're on the road and that sort of thing.
You assume this car is going to stop at the stop sign or whatever and knows basic traffic laws.
We assume that, right?
And so we let our guard down.
With all of these illegals coming over here, you can't assume that.
You really can't.
You have to assume that this car could be being driven by an illegal who has literally no idea about the laws of this country, the roadway laws of this country, and will run you right over just as soon as look at you.
You have to assume that to protect your kids.
That's my PSA on that.
You can go search through Google News.
Almost a week doesn't go by if you don't see some kind of...
Traffic accident where you're driven by an illegal who just runs somebody over.
Watch your children.
Now we've got to hand out some millstones.
It's that time.
We're going to hand out some millstones.
We don't have a video for you today.
This came to my attention from Nate Fisher.
Who actually says Christians will soon have to choose between churches who are unapologetically on the cultural right and churches that look like this.
There will be no middle ground.
And so this guy by the name of David Mittenmacher...
It has this really lengthy thread about a church that has cuddle fests.
I know, it's crazy, right?
It's apparently called the Wild Goose Festival.
I'm assuming that if you go to this particular church that has the Wild Goose Festival, you can't say the word goose without having a lisp, like the Wild Goose Festival.
I'm assuming most of the men there would pronounce it that way.
They say that this event is rooted in progressive Christian tradition.
It says on the schedule is a session for people hoping to move their churches into more progressive practices, policies or positions.
Wait, do they really have someone with the last name Overton, they, them, leading a session on how to move the church's Overton window?
Even I have to admit that's pretty funny.
And yes, they do.
Faith in action building progressive spiritual communities.
and a guy by the name of Jonah P. Overton is there.
And he's a queer.
It says that the Reverend Jonah P. Overton is a queer and trans community organizer.
I still can't believe that we can now use the word queer again.
And they, them.
Okay.
Then we have 30 minutes of open group cuddling.
This seems totally normal and not at all creepy.
This is from the website here.
Again, the Silly Goose Festival.
Some woke church.
An experiential workshop exploring platonic touch.
I don't believe you.
I don't believe this at all.
If you're an experienced cuddler or just curious about consent, we will open this experience with a series of exercises that help you listen to your body and learn how to give and receive platonic touch.
With a clear and wholehearted yes, we will also explore the spiritual energy that can be present in touch and learn how to use this with intention as we connect.
This is a church...
Doing this.
So, yeah.
Definitely.
I don't know.
We don't have enough millstones.
We don't have the millstone.
We don't have enough millstones.
And who's the guy leading the cuddle fest?
A guy by the name...
Oh, man.
Dr. K.
Kevin Johnson is a Bible scholar and sex educator, and he's on a mission to help my generation or his generation heal the divide between God and sex.
I dream of a world where sexual wholeness opens the door to a deeper intimacy with God, with creation, with ourselves, and with each other.
Dr.
Kevin Jensen.
Sorry.
Boy, how'd you like to...
Well, class, I'm here.
I'm going to teach you how to cuddle and receive my platonic touch.
I promise it's platonic.
It's nothing more.
And then more on this thread.
David Mittenmacher saying, Or there's a session on building the church without the tools of the patriarchy, led by a woman who was ordained in an egalitarian church where she's experienced a, quote, a lot of microaggressions.
Then we have a session that will address...
E-U-contamination is a lens for arguing that queerness acts within the church to help fellow Christians recognize the body of Christ.
No, that millstone.
From the description of the from purity culture to polyamory, whether coupled, throupled, or single, you can dig your way out of purity culture and learn how to be a sexual deviant.
I'm sorry, learn how to be more non-monogamy and polyamory and how to work it into your life in a healthy, meaningful way.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, so all these people are claiming to be in the ministry.
Yeah, tarot cards, psychedelic plant medicine, strange fire, the musical, yoga.
This is just absolutely disgusting.
And yet, this is, again, the silly...
I'm sorry, not the silly...
Did I call it the Silly Goose Festival?
It's the Wild Goose Festival, quote, rooted in progressive Christian tradition.
So, millstones for everyone affiliated with the Wild Goose Festival and the churches that they belong to as well, coming together to put this way to teach sex to people.
That's really just deviancy, sexual deviancy to people.
Absolutely insane.
So Nate Fisher is right.
Christians, back to this no neutrality, Christians will soon have to choose between churches that are unapologetically on the cultural right and churches that look like this.
There will be no middle ground.
And on that, what a happy accident, Stephen Wolf says...
That the timeless politics of Jesus just happens to make the racist permanently unemployable but the drag queen a blessing of liberty.
See, these are, this is what people are noticing.
And they notice that Neutrality is just a total joke.
It's an absolute total joke.
Tomorrow on the program, we're going to talk a little bit about Russia, North Korea.
We were going to get to this now, but we're out of time.
Douglas McGregor and what he's saying about that.
I had planned to do that.
I talked a little bit too long.
Big news, though, I'm telling you, I think it's fantastic that we have this great news about Louisiana and what they have done, standing up, putting the Ten Commandments in their classroom.
And I'm praising and I'm thanking the Lord for it, because I think it's a great step in the right direction.
It may be a small step, but it's a right step, and it's happening.
It's happening all across the country and it's going to continue to happen.
My name is Paul Harrell.
Unless I'm providentially hindered, I'm going to be right back here wishing you a happy Friday tomorrow.
We may even watch a little bit of Oliver Cromwell, that movie Cromwell with Richard Harris.
I'm telling you, there's some stuff in there that I think we can really benefit from and learn from here on this program moving forward as we talk more about Christian nationalism.
God bless everybody out there watching and we'll see you tomorrow.
