Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Welcome to the program.
Thank you so much for being with us.
As always, you know, we cannot do the show without you watching every single day or listening.
Available now on Apple, Spotify, the Millstone Report.
Just search for it.
We really do appreciate it.
The day is finally here.
Tonight at 8 Central, President Trump will face off with Vice President Harris in what is sure to be quite the spectacle.
ABC News is hosting the debate, so we can assume President Trump is walking right into a hostile environment.
It is, in fact, a trap.
Will the moderators try and actively fact-check President Trump as he gives his answers?
Will they argue with him?
Or will they let the two candidates talk and wrestle with the facts all by themselves?
Remember back during the disastrous Trump-Biden debate, CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were heavily criticized for allowing Trump to, quote, lie, end quote, without being challenged.
As a matter of fact, here's a little flashback for you.
Here is left-wing racial justice advocate by the name of Jamar Tisby's reaction to that debate.
It was a choice.
It was a choice for the co-moderators not to fact-check.
Now, I think there's a reasonable line where you let people talk, let them, you know, sort of do what they do and let the viewer or the voters decide.
But there were so many, I mean, every single answer.
And even if you just cherry picked a few of the big ones, that would have made a difference.
But the effect of literally putting them side by side on television, letting them each talk for the same amount of time as if they're even in the same epistemological universe, I think is a disservice to the people.
I mean, in any other debate, you take it to a high school debate, right?
If you're not trafficking in actual facts, that's going to be a mark against you.
But it doesn't seem to have made any difference in this.
And, you know, I wasn't expecting them to stop him every sentence, every statement, but on some of it, just a little bit of it.
Like, actually, Mr.
Trump, this is what the facts say.
But here's the danger.
If Trump wins, there will never be a fair debate.
And it will go beyond him because he'll set things up and his administration will set things up such that people who do traffic in actual facts and are trying to make actual points based on data, they won't get there.
They won't get to that platform, or if they do, they won't have a chance to win.
And so that's the danger, I think, that people need to see beyond the two hours of debate that we saw this evening.
Nothing has actually changed in the landscape in terms of our political calculus, right?
That if Trump wins, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it's the end of democracy as we know it, which would include not just, oh, how we vote, but even something like debates, which no one even debates, right?
The debate is debate.
That's something it's predictable.
We can count on, love them or hate it.
We know what to expect.
No, not under a Trump presidency, a GOP administration, not in the foreseeable future if that happens.
So that was more powerful and more coherent than anything I heard in those two hours.
That is all so hilarious to me.
But obviously that's also why they are fine with cheating.
If democracy is at stake and you're trying to prevent the rise of fascism, then isn't that just a blanket check to do whatever needs to be done?
The ends justify the means.
Anyway, it is funny to me to see that's the world that they live in.
Hattip2Protestia.com for that video.
Protestia also reminds us, though, that purported Christian Jamar Tisby, who you just saw on your screen there, his pro-choice LGBTQ vice president of ministry, who goes by the name of Allie Henry, believes that Trump rallies are the equivalent to Klan rallies.
You can't make this up.
Anyway, that's why I expect ABC News to actively engage President Trump.
The moderators will likely challenge him every step of the way this evening because they saw what happened when they stayed out of it last time.
Even though Biden was and is demented, The intel agency-controlled mainstream media does not trust Kamala Harris to take Trump on all by herself.
I don't believe that anyway.
Kamala has sagging poll numbers and Haitians are eating people's pets.
Politically, it's pretty bad for her right now, and they want to avoid reactions like this one.
And the whole time the split screen is killing Biden.
Because he's got his mouth open, he looks confused, doesn't know where he is.
He's lost his train of thought at least twice in, like, disastrous shape.
Those are going to be played a billion times in viral video after viral video.
This is an epic disaster.
It, like...
I see people online saying, well, okay, that answer wasn't so bad.
No, any particular answer doesn't matter at all.
This thing is over.
He looks like he's barely surviving.
I don't mean the debate.
I mean life.
They want to avoid reactions like that.
So they're going to put their finger on the scale.
But maybe this time will be different, you know?
After all, CNN assures us that Kamala is prepping vigorously for the debate this evening.
She has closely studied the former president's past six debate performances.
She's also been sort of entrenched in these briefing papers going over The former president's past comments, as well as the ways that he has insulted her so she can be prepared to respond to that.
She's engaged in these mock debates with a stand-in for the former president, and she's had conversations with Hillary Clinton and President Biden, who both extensively have knowledge of debating the former president.
So you know how those lids are...
I'm just going to speak, okay?
So this is it.
So you know how those lids on the Starbucks cups?
They're white, right?
And so if you wear lipstick, they get all over the lid.
And so then I find myself in meetings if I'm the only woman, and that's kind of until I keep taking the lid off and having my cup out so that I don't have that big lipstick mark on the lid.
So I said, can we do something about the color of the land?
So that was that conversation.
It's great.
It's fantastic.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah, so Kamala is vigorously preparing and she's talking to Hillary Clinton and...
Might as well talk to Jeb Bush while you're at it, right?
He debated Trump and failed.
That being said, okay, so I look for Kamala or the controlled ABC News puppets to bring up Russia collusion.
So this is what I think is going to happen.
A few things.
They're going to bring up Russia collusion in the wake of the tenant media indictment, okay?
I think that that's where they're going to go.
As I said last week, this is the Russia collusion hoax 3.0, and the deep state is desperately trying to revive it.
So Instead of the Hunter Biden laptop being Russian disinformation, which we now know it wasn't, the deep state is now attempting to make any voice right of center a potential Russian agent, right?
They're putting the doubt out there.
So, in the future, if you disagree with the regime, then you must be a Russian.
And, by the way, that's what we have to look forward to if Kamala and her class of elites stay in power.
But to Trump, one thing Trump must be ready to do is push back against the convicted felon claim and the weaponization of the DOJ against him.
Now, I think he will.
And I think the recent undercover video put out by Steven Crowder of a Southern District of New York official admitting that the prosecution of Trump is a miscarriage of justice and basically all bogus is vital ammunition that Trump needs to use against Kamala and the corrupt press.
And I think he will.
Additionally, I wonder if Trump is going to bring up the Haitian refugee chaos, the town of Springfield, Ohio, and other small towns are currently experiencing.
We covered that chaos yesterday on the show.
If Trump brings up pet abductions and pet murder and ties it to Harris, it wouldn't surprise me if the moderators have literal seizures and fall out on the floor.
Haitian Harris has a nice ring to it, by the way.
The intel oligarch-controlled mainstream media has already laid the groundwork with a steady stream of stories claiming the decapitated ducks and the mutilated cats are just right-wing conspiracy theories and also, also, extremely racist.
Don't forget that part.
In my opinion, I'd love to see Trump go there, though.
Also, if you are around and you want to watch the debate, you can watch it with me.
You're invited to join me tonight.
I'm hosting a live debate coverage and will be commenting on the Trump-Kamala debate in real time, live on X over at National Files X account, also their Rumble channel.
So make sure you check that out by following National Files X account as well as the Rumble channel, National File TV. So I will see you guys later this evening.
And we'll be doing a live stream with National File publisher Noel Fritsch as well as National File reporter Frankie Stocks.
The three of us are going to, I don't know, banter about as we watch this spectacle unfold in real time.
So I'd very much appreciate it if you want to.
You can come over there and hang out with us.
With all that being said, let's go to the screen, shall we?
This is pretty fascinating stuff.
This was the thumbnail that we used over at, let me see here, for yesterday's program.
As I mentioned, we were covering the Haitian situation.
So yeah, this was Save Community Ducks.
Oh man.
So yeah, the AI is getting increasingly useful with stuff like this.
Save Community Ducks.
That's right.
We have to save our domesticated animals.
You know, it's really no surprise.
We shouldn't be shocked that this is the case.
I mean, so one thing I didn't say yesterday on the program is we covered 15,000 to 20,000 Haitian immigrants over the last three or four years.
One resident said, though, they didn't start showing up really until March of this year, which is when the Haitian government was going through their barbecue cannibal phase.
The gang leader's name was Barbecue.
The reports of cannibalism that the media assured us then those are right-wing conspiracy theories.
Mm-hmm.
But I didn't realize that the town...
I mean, I did realize it.
I just failed to mention it.
60,000 people.
The town of Springfield, Ohio, it's only 60,000, and you put 20,000 Haitians in the town?
Which means the town...
I mean, there's no way.
There is no way that the town can handle that and not be a completely different place.
As I said yesterday, the town of Springfield, Ohio...
According to residents and their own testimonies, is now unlivable.
It's unlivable.
It's unsafe.
Insurance rates now, we didn't cover this, but now car insurance rates are skyrocketing.
So if you are insured, if you're car and you live, you have an address in Springfield, Ohio, insurance companies are raising people's rates.
Somebody said they pay...
$500 a month for two cars to be insured.
Full coverage.
Because the Haitians have been given cars.
And they're driving around.
They don't know how to drive.
They don't know how to do it.
And so, not only are people having wrecks left and right, our children are now less safe.
Crossing the street is now even more dangerous than it already is.
Look both ways before you cross the street.
Look twice for Haitians if you're in Springfield, Ohio.
And we have people, in light of these stories, there are Christians on X who are pearl-clutching once again.
Oh no!
You've got to love your neighbor.
What about the neighbors of the Springfield residents whose homes are no longer safe?
That's who gets left out in all of this because we have, in this country, a very warped view of morality in the nation state.
And, you know, like, be nice to the sojourner or love the sojourner is one thing.
That doesn't mean import, you know, increase the population of a town by 40% of people who are from the third world that don't speak English and can't drive cars.
That doesn't mean that...
I mean, you're not going to have a civilization to be altruistic towards the less fortunate.
That's the point.
All these people are like, well, we've got to do it.
You don't have a civilization.
You don't have a main base where you can be charitable to people when you allow your civilization to be conquered.
You won't have the prosperity that the civilization once had to be.
Oh, there's a family that needs help, or this, that, or the other.
You don't even have that anymore.
Everybody just is brought down and is totally miserable, right?
Just like the communism, what it really is.
We've talked about that before.
I was talking about it with a friend the other day.
I was explaining...
Anyway.
Just basically how the promise is, we're going to make everything equal, but obviously we know everybody's equally impoverished.
That's what's going on here.
What else do we got here?
Here we go.
Let's see.
I thought this was hilarious.
Now, this was in response to a William Wolfe post.
William Wolfe, former Trump administration official, friend of the program.
If your neighbor asks for your cat, give him your duck as well.
Oh, yeah, this is great.
I love it.
And they're making a satirical point, which is we have a lot of Big Eva Christians who are taking Scripture out of context.
Loving your neighbor does not mean kill yourself.
Loving your neighbor does not mean suicide your entire civilization and neighborhood.
That's not what it means.
Some people don't get it, though.
Here's John Harris, who's got a great podcast.
I would encourage you guys to check it out.
It's called Conversations That Matter.
It's a thoughtful podcast.
And it's very good.
He says, but I agree with him here.
He says, if you're using these subversive talking points, you need to stop.
Notice he calls them subversive.
He says, illegal immigration is the problem.
We need more legal immigration.
You hear this a lot from normies.
Illegal immigration is the problem.
We need more legal immigration.
As a matter of fact, this is what I think even Trump has intuited at some point.
America is a nation of immigrants.
We're a melting pot.
He says these three statements, you need to stop using them.
He says the reason we need to stop is because asylum seekers and temporary protected status immigrants, like the Haitians, are categories being used by Democrats to take your jobs, change your world, and ultimately replace you.
He says this is legal.
So, you know, legal immigration encompasses what the Haitians are doing to Springfield, Ohio right now.
He says it's legal, and if it weren't, complaining about illegal immigration does not get at the root of the problem.
He says the nation of immigrants myth gives what's happening now moral justification.
Oh, we're a nation of immigrants.
It also makes no sense on any historical understanding of what a nation is.
The melting pot terminology deceives people into thinking that the good features various peoples bring are conserved and blended with other good features to strengthen the country.
Yet, the large numbers we're bringing in are not assimilating.
There's hardly any melting going on.
They are mostly separate peoples who remain separate and become our political enemies by furthering their interests at our expense.
He goes on, everywhere I've traveled is having a problem with mass migration from small towns to big cities, irrespective of region.
We are in the final stages of a once great empire, and unless something drastic is done very soon, we will not continue as America.
So when I hear self-proclaimed conservatives using this subversive language, whether from ignorance, habit or malice, I figure I should say something.
John Harris is right.
In the debate tonight, does Trump talk mass deportations?
Is the Overton window there?
When I was on talk radio, my goodness, 14 years ago now, the idea...
I can't believe it's been that long.
I'm an old man.
The idea that you could deport the illegals that had already come over here was just something people...
It wasn't even...
It was nowhere near where the Overton window was.
I mean, people weren't even talking about, well, how logistically would you do it?
They just, they wouldn't even talk logistics.
They said they can't be done.
But now people are, more and more people are supportive of the idea that it has to happen.
Look what's happening in Colorado.
Entire apartment complex is taken over by Venezuelan gangs, Chicago, New York, even.
So you've got your big cities, where the native population's there.
Have had enough.
They may not be social conservatives, but they are sick and tired of their neighborhoods completely changing and their way of life being altered.
People act based on avoidance of pain.
And right now, the immigration that's going on, the illegal takeover, the invasion of this country, is making people have to feel the pain from big cities to small cities like Springfield, Ohio.
Does Trump tonight bring up mass deportations?
Now, we can talk about whether or not he actually will do the mass deportations.
That's a whole other thing.
Like, him saying he'll do it, will he actually do it?
I mean, I certainly hope so if he were to somehow get elected.
Does he bring that up tonight is a question that I have.
I don't know.
We'll see, though, coming up here later this evening.
What else do we have?
More on Springfield, Ohio.
A lot of people didn't get that this was satire.
William Wolfe, the Bible commands us to welcome foreigners and love our neighbor, so of course that means letting illegal Haitian immigrants kidnap, skin, and cook your beloved cat Fluffy.
The gospel demands it.
Don't fight it.
Rejoice that God is bringing the nations to us.
There were some people that didn't understand that this was, in fact, a satirical post.
There were some people that...
And you know why they don't under...
You know why some people were duped and they thought William Wolfe was being serious here?
Because a statement like that is not outside of the realm of reality.
You could conceive that a big Eva...
pastoral puppet shepherd for sale, you could conceive of somebody actually posting something like this or a variation of it.
Andrew Torba, CEO of Gab, saying, you're a racist is the only argument they have.
And it's rapidly losing its power over sensible people who don't want their neighborhoods and children surrounded by third world savages.
Lopping their heads off of ducks and eating their cats.
So, the memes have been great.
Here's those of you who are listening.
By the way, are available audio only.
Spotify and Apple if you would rather listen to the show.
If you don't want to watch it.
New flag just debuted.
It's the don't tread on me flag.
But instead it's a nice little kitten that says don't snack on me.
Also, we have this, where, you know, if Garfield was adopted by Haitians, you could imagine.
And they've got, for those of you familiar with the Garfield comic, you know, John, the owner of Garfield, he's got dark skin and he's eating Garfield.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Smash bails on X. We're either going to get our country back with mass deportations, or we'll turn into another Haiti.
There's no in-between.
Yeah, so the lowest common denominator is going to pull everybody down.
Well, no, no, no.
Sorry, that's not the lowest common denominator.
What I'm trying to say is, when you import the amount of illegals, or in this case, let's say third worlders, when you import the amount of third worlders that we're currently importing, that they're not Western Europeans, okay?
So, oh, a nation of immigrants.
Well, we're talking about people from Western Europe that generally agreed on a lot more than they disagreed on, right?
They're from Western Europe.
Okay?
It's just a fact.
It's going to be easier to melt if you buy the melting pot.
It really wasn't a melting pot if you think about it.
It really wasn't.
Because you have people that are from Western Europe that by and large are homogenous in a lot of ways.
But when you're talking about importing millions of people from the third world...
You're going to become a third world country because the gap is so far.
I guess the southern way to say it would be just a lack of manners, right?
You have people that just don't have any manners.
They don't know the customs.
They don't care to be clean.
They don't care.
They don't understand what separates a first world country from a third world country.
Broken families?
In the Haitians case, a lot of people...
I saw people on Twitter saying...
Well, the Haitians are 70% Christian, and people are saying, hang on a second, well then why is their country in shambles?
Because if that were the case, and so I think that's a healthy conversation to have.
I also think it's a healthy conversation to actually look at some of the voodoo and stuff that still goes, satanic practices that still are going on there as well.
And then you also have to look at As I mentioned yesterday on the show, the exploitation.
The West has been exploiting the Haitians' poverty through NGOs and enriching all kinds of causes that have nothing to do with actually helping the Haitian people.
So there is certainly some of that to think about as well.
But no, we're going to turn into another Haiti for sure.
The same people, listen to this, Megan Basham, author of the Shepherds for Sale book, that's fantastic.
You need to check it out.
She writes, The virus not coming from a Chinese lab and Trump colluding with Russia now say the people of Springfield, Ohio are lying about what they say they're experiencing.
Yesterday on the program, we played for you clip after clip after clip of people begging the Springfield, Ohio City Council to do something about all of the Haitian immigrants, the refugees, and they testified to Lopping the heads off of ducks.
We showed you police body cam footage of them rolling up on a lady eating a cat.
We showed you testimony of the Haitians littering in people's yards, yelling at old women and old couples, and they're being forced to move because they're afraid for their lives.
We showed you all of these things.
And Megan Basham is pointing out that Well, she's pointing this out.
Here's CBS. If they bring this up, right now, if Trump goes there and ties the Haitian immigrants to Haiti...
By the way, she's on record talking about what a great job they did bringing Haitians here.
Kamala Harris is on record taking credit for the Haitian refugees that are now here, giving them protected status.
She's on record saying that.
If Trump goes there...
They're going to lose.
The media, ABC, are going to lose their minds.
And this is the groundwork they've already laid.
This is this morning.
J.D. Vance repeats baseless claim Haitian immigrants are eating pets in Ohio.
Officials say there's no evidence.
We gave you.
The media doesn't even care.
Obviously, they haven't cared for a long time.
They're just shamelessly.
They don't even try.
To figure out a way to make it.
No.
They just completely deny it.
Completely ignore somebody's experience.
We gave you the evidence yesterday on this program.
It's everywhere.
It went viral over the weekend.
Not just CBS News.
NBC News.
J.D. Vance spreads a xenophobic racist conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants eating pets.
CNN. Trump campaign and J.D. Vance promotes false rumors about Haitian immigrants eating pets.
This was yesterday.
The independent J.D. Vance spreads racist rumor that Haitian immigrants are abducting people's pets and eating them in Ohio.
Well, at least they gave it a rumor status.
Rumors can potentially be true.
That's the way I look at it.
MAGA launches most unbelievable.
This is from TNR, newrepublic.com.
The New Republic MAGA launches most unbelievable conspiracy theory yet on migrants eating pets.
Republicans are straight up losing their minds with their racist conspiracy theories.
It's their racist conspiracy theories that Haitians are eating pets.
When we have video evidence of a cop rolling up on a Haitian woman who clearly doesn't speak English.
Looks like she's totally, I mean, just looks, it's like she looks infantile.
It's like a grown woman who looks totally out of her mind, like just not even there.
And the neighbors you hear say, yeah, we rolled up, she was eating this cat.
She's eating this cat in the middle of the driveway.
She killed it and was eating the cat.
Talk about parasites, by the way.
Talk about the, we haven't even talked about the health of these people.
And then yet we have this.
Now this has actually been making the rounds.
I've seen several accounts tweet this, but this is not a current thing.
This is over a year old.
This is an article from the Daily Mail of March 6, 2023.
But it's just pointing out that this is not a new thing.
Two illegal Honduran migrants, the Daily Mail reported last year, are arrested after shooting down a bald eagle...
That they plan to cook and eat in Nebraska as Sheriff reveals the local community is in an uproar.
Ramiro Hernandez.
So it's not just the Haitians, it's the Hondurans.
Third world is third world.
You get a third world, you get a third world, you know.
Third world people get a third world, I guess.
Ramiro Hernandez.
I don't know.
Tease Quinn.
And Domingo Zatino Hernandez, illegal Honduran immigrants living in Nebraska, were cited for a misdemeanor.
The men who allegedly killed a bald eagle on February 28th on private property told deputies they had planned to eat the protected national bird.
The men are set to appear in court in April with more serious charges possible.
They're killing our national bird.
They're killing the symbol of America, the bald eagle.
Oh, and by the way, I don't know what their charges eventually were, but you all know the laws are very strict when it comes to protected species.
The bald eagle is certainly one of those.
Double standards.
It doesn't even begin to...
It doesn't even begin to...
Come, you know, compare.
We're going to take a break.
break.
Don't go anywhere.
Back in a moment.
The attempt to end my husband's life was a horrible, distressing experience.
Now, the silence around it feels heavy.
I can't help but wonder, why didn't law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech?
There is definitely more to this story and we need to uncover the truth.
So you know how those lids are...
I'm just going to speak, okay?
So this is it.
So you know how those lids on the Starbucks cups, they're white, right?
And so if you wear lipstick, they get all over the lid.
And so then I find myself in meetings if I'm the only woman, and that's kind of until I keep taking the lid off and having my cup out so that I don't have that big lipstick mark on the lid.
So I said, can we do something about the color of the land?
So that was that conversation.
All right.
Welcome back, folks.
Before we go any further.
We'll be right back.
Before we go any further, let me tell you about Cortez Wealth Management.
If you don't know about it, this is vital information that you have to make yourself aware of.
So there's all kinds of different investment strategies out there.
Most of these investment strategies have to do with giving your money to big corporations.
Eventually, people in control are like BlackRock, Vanguard.
They don't have your best interests at heart.
They're obsessed with...
You know, ESG policies, diversity, equity, inclusion.
And so you may be making money.
I don't know what your returns are, but you're actually...
They're taking your money and funding projects and companies that actually hate you.
They hate your children.
They hate Christianity.
But Carlos Cortez is not that guy, and you've got to check it out.
You've got to figure out what an American first retirement plan actually is, where your money's not going to go.
You're going to get a return on your investment, but you're also not going to...
You're not going to be funding the companies that hate you.
So check it out.
And you can go to Carlos, I'm sorry, CortezWM.com.
You see it on your screen there.
CortezWM.com or call 813-448-3446 for more information.
Also, Bearded Sergeant Coffee Company.
I want to thank them.
We love the great tasting coffee at Bearded Sergeant.
They take coffee beans, import them from around the world, and they roast them right back here in the United States, and they donate a portion of the profits of every bag sold to homes for our troops, and they're going to make the lives better.
Of severely injured, severely injured post-9-11 veterans better by building them homes.
But it's Costa Rican coffee.
Give it a try, folks.
Fresh roasted Costa Rican coffee beans.
It's got a bright, pleasant, it's got a bright, pleasant tropical fruit notes.
People don't realize, you saw at the very beginning there, you know, coffee beans actually don't come off of the vine or the plant roasted, right?
So they're tropical.
Anyway, give it a try.
BeardedSergeant.com slash Millstone.
That's BeardedSergeant.com slash Millstone.
My name, Paul, will save you 15%.
And as always, you've got to go to LeftWingWill.com.
LeftWingWill.com.
That's LeftWingWill.com.
This is Will.
He loves to argue without having any facts.
And he also just embodies every zany theory or idea that any loony progressive that you've ever met might have.
And you get to tell Left Wing Will's story and play it with a bunch of different people at your next party.
And it'll be a big hit.
It'll bring people together.
We can laugh at the left together.
And actually, the game itself could red pill one of your left-wing progressive friends.
You never know.
Trying to do this through comedy.
There's not a four-letter word in the game, but we do describe the disgustingness and the perversion of the left accurately.

Promo code Paul saves you 15%.
Everybody, look at that guy.
Everybody has seen that guy before walking down the street.
We got the man bun.
We got the glasses.
We got the beard.
And we also have the gauges in the ears.
Everybody's seen that guy.
Everybody has.
So we're still in the midst.
We're prepping for this debate.
We're looking forward to it.
Debate night.
Trump-Kamala set the clash.
By the way, I'm going to be hosting a live, I guess a live viewing of the debate tonight.
I mentioned that earlier, but if you're just now joining us, I'll be over at National Files Twitter or X account and the Rumble Channel.
We'll be hosting that with Noel Fritsch and Frankie Stocks.
Excited to do that and kind of take it all in in real time about the madness that may ensue with this debate.
Who knows?
We'll see what happens.
Alright, so we've got more on all of this.
So, as we talk about the Haitians and what it means to love your neighbor, and how we're competing against Big Eva and everything else, Big Eva and what it is that they actually...
What they put out there, the twisting of scripture.
This Christianity Today post came across my screen yesterday, and I couldn't believe it.
I couldn't believe it.
But I shouldn't be surprised.
They write, Public school is like strength training for our children's faith.
Let them wrestle with worldly counter-narratives to God's truth while they're still under your care.
It's basically saying, look, go ahead and, and this is what I said, go ahead and send your children into the front of the lines.
Go ahead and let the enemy have their way with your children.
And why would Christianity Today say this?
Now, Christianity Today is obviously run by Russell Moore.
We've talked about this.
Russell Moore is obviously the guy who used to be a Southern Baptist, and then he was the head of the ERLC, and now he's useful for Rob Reiner documentaries trying to attack Christian nationalists, which label everybody a Christian nationalist, which is actually true if you believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and you which is actually true if you believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and you vote and you care about this country, then congratulations, according to the left, you're going to be But that's who this publication is run by, a one Russell Moore.
And so this is essentially, let's call this what it is, this is an anti-homeschooling post.
Now, I am not one of these guys, don't get me wrong.
I'm not a fan of the public schools as they are now.
And I homeschool, or my wife homeschools.
But what I would say is, I'm not one of these guys that says that there are no public schools out there today that are still okay.
Because the fact of the matter is, it's just not true.
I know that there are some public schools that are Not as bad as others, right?
Now, to that being said, if you're in a bad public school and you're handing your kids over to the enemy and there's a lot of decisions they have to make, we have an economy that's been set up intentionally, that people think they've got to have two incomes, and it's been intentionally set up that way so that you give your kids over to the government schools, the Caesar schools, and that sort of thing.
But no, this was interesting.
Public school is like strength training for your children's faith.
In what world is this?
Why do they feel the need to say these things?
Sending your child to public school is like sending an untrained soldier into battle.
You need to realize your kids aren't a missionary to public schools.
They're the mission field.
This is according to Smash Bales.
Sending your child to public school is like sending an untrained soldier into battle.
Then we have other people commenting on this.
God says, natural law theonomist writing,
this is pure evil to Christianity today, like exile-worthy evil, tar and feather at the very least, broken teeth, William Wolfe, again, saying this is what you want Christian parents to do to their kids.
It's a picture of a rainbow flag with a wolf with a BLM, like basically a wolf teaching your kids with a BLM and rainbow flags on their shirt.
Letting groomers access your kids is like strength training.
Every single person involved with Christianity today should be excommunicated from their churches.
They should certainly be put under some sort of investigation and then discipline.
Because, look, this is absolutely insane to say something like this.
To try to run cover.
And really, what is this serving to do?
It's serving to keep Christian parents who may be having doubts about public schools and about to make the leap...
Sit on your hands.
Be pacifists.
Do nothing.
And if you care about these things, you're worshiping an idol.
These people operate in the idea that if you deeply care about something, it must be an idol.
And this is preposterous.
This is not true.
Can you have idols?
Can there be different idols in your life?
Absolutely.
But just because you care deeply about something, just because you care deeply about protecting your family, just because you care deeply about About the culture war that we're in does not necessarily mean it's an idol.
Could it become an idol?
100%.
Anything can.
But we've got Big Eva saying, oh, you guys are making an idol out of politics.
Get out of here, man.
Get out of here with that.
So I posted, first of all, Megan Basham said this about this controversy.
She says, everyone talking about the Abominable Christianity Today article, arguing Christian parents should send their kids to public schools.
She says, it's worth remembering that Jen Wilkin argued the same on the Gospel Coalition.
Now, the Gospel Coalition...
Well, first of all, Jen Wilkin.
Jen Wilkin is the Bible, quote, Bible teacher that J.D. Greer, controversial Big Eva pastor, quoted when he said that we need to, that the Bible whispers about sexual sin, and so we need to whisper about the things that the Bible whispers about and shout about the things the Bible shouts about, right?
Now, he then came out after a while and walked the statement back, but so this is what Jen Wilkin says, right?
about parents and the public school system.
One of the things I would love to have entered into this conversation is that while I cannot tell you to put your children in public school, and certainly never would because there are so many factors that are at play, that it is important for us to understand that our decision regarding this and even our demeanor toward this has an impact on our community.
It doesn't just impact our family.
The most common phrase I hear thrown out in these conversations is, well, I just need to do what's best for my family.
And I think that's something that as Christians we have to push back on.
Philippians tells us each of you should look not just to your own interests, but to the interests of others.
And there's no such thing as a decision that's made just for our families.
In fact, even having the gift of the decision at all means that you're a person with more choices than some people.
And those who don't have a choice of where they will educate their children will be impacted by your presence, your adult parent presence not being in the public schools because you've chosen to go somewhere else.
Wow, what a guilt trip.
What a bunch of Marxist drivel.
So you can't make a choice for your family, right?
This is essentially a very pacifist way of looking at it.
I mean, I'm assuming if you take that argument consistently, then a Christian father could never protect their family from violence with, dare I say it, using a firearm?
Yeah.
Man, it's just, it's really sad that this is a deception, in my opinion, that's being put out there.
Thank you.
So I responded to this by just saying, don't let the enemy educate your children.
Now, I firmly believe that.
And so you have to decide who's the enemy.
There's plenty of people out there.
They may be in a small town.
I've driven by, and I know people who are in, I'm talking like small, rural public schools, and it's like you're in a time capsule.
It's like you go back and you're in the 1950s.
I'm serious.
Maybe it's like the 1950s, but cell phones.
You know what I mean?
But if you, as a parent, are willing to say, wherever you're at, let's say you're in a moderately sized city or something, or a town, and you're like, you know...
The whole of this, the bureaucracy of the public school system, what it's become, how big it is, the curriculum, even if you have a good teacher, the system is so big it really negates the will of a good teacher, the anti-Christian bias, all of that stuff.
If you come to the conclusion these people are the enemy, maybe not on an individual basis, but collectively, collectively, I can't give my child...
Well then, you know, if you can clarify them, if you can quantify them as the enemy, then you keep your children from them.
This kind of black and white language makes Big Eve a squishy type.
They can't stand it.
They want to clutch their pearls as evidenced by the response to this.
You've got some pastor here with an MDiv R.M. Hoffman says, you can't love your neighbor if you see them as an enemy and are waging war on them.
This is directly linked to the Haitian refugee crisis.
It's this weird way of thinking, this inverted way of thinking, where because we're supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves, that means we must suicide our entire civilization.
Because we're supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves, we need to give over Our kids to the enemy.
Or we can't even identify the enemy.
We're supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves, so we can't identify the enemy.
We can't call somebody an enemy.
Are you crazy?
Are you crazy?
This way of thinking is so minuscule compared to the way that Christians thought for the last 1800, 1900 years.
It's a blip on the radar.
Not being able to identify who an enemy is.
Even in your own country.
I respond, this is about loving your own children and protecting them from enemies.
Love your neighbor.
Yes.
Feed the sheep to wolves.
No.
And of course he responds, this has nothing to do with love and everything to do with fear-based control.
Fear-based control.
Anyway.
And then somebody else.
Enemy?
Just listen to yourself here.
See, there are people that just don't even want to acknowledge that there are enemies out there that are there to, if they can, devour your children.
Put them on a path to hell.
We've got a lot of people, I feel like, that are, there's a suspicion here, that are abdicating their responsibility as fathers and husbands to protect their family.
It's one thing, yes, to not have partiality when you meet people and everything else, but when you know who people are, when you know, you have to admit, you have to recognize, oh, okay.
That is an orc armed with a sword and wants to destroy my family.
You have to be able to at least say that.
And again, I'm not talking about all public schools.
There's a qualification.
I'm not talking about all teachers.
I'm talking about people are having the...
I guess I would say this.
And this also kind of goes to the freakout when Big Eva has over the Christian nationalism idea.
Different people have come to different conclusions, and then they're behaving or actively doing things to batten down the hatches based on the conclusions.
So, for example, if you've come to the conclusion that this country, left to its own devices, the way it currently is now, are going to put Christians in boxcars and camps for believing in Jesus, if you've come to that conclusion and you're behaving and preparing for that in the many different ways that you can, some people moving out of the city, some people are not doing that, but you get my point.
Maybe you're organizing the six days a week you're not in church.
You're organizing with other Christians and other denominations and you're trying to figure out a way to use what little political power we have left to make sure that Christians don't get put in boxcars.
Those are the conclusions and those are the actions you're making because of your conclusions.
Those other Christians that have not come to the conclusion that they're going to put Christians in boxcars...
They look at what the people who have come to that conclusion, and they, you guys are crazy.
You guys are acting nuts.
You guys are idolaters.
You guys are making politics an idol.
That's what's going on here in a lot of cases.
That's the most charitable way I think I can put it without having to ascribe malicious motives of intentionally deceiving the sheep, which some of that goes on as well.
Don't get me wrong.
I do believe some of that goes on as well.
Megan Basham's book is super insightful.
Super insightful, for sure.
Let's go here.
As we wind down the show, everybody's getting ready for this debate.
We've got Congress engaged in political theater, and Congressman Thomas Massey is calling them out.
Save Act.
It's going to save us all.
Right?
Right.
And by the way, this is good political theater.
I do like this part of it, that we're going to see almost every Democrat cast a vote so that illegals can vote in our elections.
I mean, that's pretty clever on the part of our speaker to set that up, make you all take that vote.
But here's what he's going to do after you take that vote.
He's going to take it off.
The bright shiny object goes away.
It's Lucy and the football again.
And the American public is all revved up.
Yeah, we're going to get the SAVE Act.
We're going to save these elections.
We're going to stop the illegals from voting.
Really?
How are you going to do that in like six weeks?
I think they're already registered if they're going to vote.
Some of them probably already voted.
This SAVE Act ain't going to save anything.
And particularly because it ain't ever going to become law.
It's a false promise to get all the Republicans half pregnant.
And then you're going to get fully pregnant by the end of September when you vote for this CR. It's not going to have this...
I mean, I hate to break this to you.
I mean, the Democrats already know this.
I'm not telling you anything special.
I hate to break it to the Republicans.
You ain't getting the SAVE Act.
It is not going to stay on this bill.
Why?
Because we're gonna cave!
We're gonna cave!
Is it a fight worth having?
Absolutely it's a fight worth having.
Make those Democrats say they want illegals to vote.
Make them take that vote as many times as you can.
And then make them go to the ballot box in November.
But that's what it is.
It's political theater, folks.
We all know where it ends up.
We've seen it.
I've been here 12 years.
I've seen it 12 times.
I refuse to be a thespian in this failure theater.
And with that, I yield back.
Excellent.
I've met in my years covering Arkansas politics and Little Rock, I've met plenty of state representatives or state senators with that kind of attitude.
Look, I've been here long.
Well, not plenty.
A handful.
I've never seen somebody in Congress so, matter of fact, jaded, just over it.
Not just over it.
We're done playing the games.
We don't actually ever do what we're supposed to do here.
There's always an excuse.
We're going to cave.
We're going to pass the SAVE Act to try to save our elections.
The Democrats are going to vote to allow illegals to keep voting.
But when it all comes down to it, and you've got to have that continuing resolution to fund the government and keep it open...
He's saying, Johnson, Speaker Johnson, is going to cave.
They're going to take the SAVE Act out, and they're going to pass a clean, continuing resolution.
And to hear him say that is, yeah.
I mean, it really is just kind of insulting.
The whole thing is insulting when you think about it, because even if they were to pass it, The elections are about to happen.
Some of the early voting's probably already started.
Folks, that's all the time we have for today.
I want to remind you, I'm going to be over at the National File X Account and Rumble channel here in a little bit talking about this debate as it kicks off.
We're going to do some live coverage, so you certainly want to tune into that.
And unless I'm providentially hindered, I will see you guys tomorrow night.
