Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Should Christians Take An Atheist At His Word?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the podcast.
Welcome to my show.
Thanks so much for being with us.
My name is Paul Harrell, as always.
We really appreciate it.
As you can tell, I was out yesterday.
On Monday, my voice just got worse and worse.
I'm battling, I think, a post-Thanksgiving respiratory illness.
But I'm back here.
Bear with me.
I would very much appreciate it.
I'm kind of medicated up, if you can't tell.
But here, we're going to have a good time anyway.
Today on the program, we're going to talk about a man by the name of James Lindsay.
James Lindsay, and this is going to be a very important point that I will emphasize throughout today's broadcast.
James Lindsay is an atheist.
He does not believe in God.
So, pray that God would intervene, would save him, and that James would repent and trust in Christ.
Atheist James Lindsay has been engaged in a digital war against Christians.
The battleground of choice is the X platform, and the war started after atheist James Lindsay at some point in time became triggered by the rise of the idea of Christian nationalism and the debate that was being had on both sides.
As Christians began to gravitate back toward historic Protestant political thought, James Lindsay has been furiously typing away warning that Christians who want to politically organize On the six days per week we are not in church.
Christians that want to politically organize to advance and advocate for government reforms that would see the civil magistrate punish evil and reward good based on the Bible are somehow part of a secret operation designed to trigger a top-down crackdown against Christians.
Meaning the organized Christian resistance is part of a Fed plan to persecute Christians, so Christians should not resist because resistance is exactly what they want us to do.
A government crackdown against Christians is, of course, what I have been warning about on this show, but from a different angle, putting Christians in boxcars, and I want to avoid that.
Avoiding that requires a vision, a positive vision for America, where this once overtly Christian nation slowly begins to reject secular neutrality and religious pluralism for the lie that it is.
Now, honestly, none of us should be surprised that atheist James Lindsay, emphasize the atheist here, it'll be relevant here in a moment, None of us should be surprised that atheist James Lindsay, who is lost, is worried about the rise of Christians reasserting themselves in public life and government.
But the larger issue is how fellow Christians, who are on the opposite side of this Christian nationalist debate, would rush to gloat after atheist James Lindsay tried and failed to own the Christian publication American Reformer.
That's right, and yesterday news broke that Lindsay, the atheist, lied to editors of the American Reformer and was allowed to publish an article under a fictitious name.
Lindsay then asserted he had pulled a fast one on the Christian nationalists because he tricked them into publishing Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto.
Although, once the dust had settled and reasonable men read Lindsay's article, they realized only small portions of the manifesto actually made it into the article.
Of course, that didn't stop other Christians from taking the side of an atheist against fellow Christians, because I guess the ends justify the means.
For some, at least.
Some people want to be right so badly that they're willing to embrace a lie.
Some people are even saying, others are saying, that the brother wars need to stop, and I completely agree.
With that, let's go to the screen.
So we're going to go to the screen here.
We're going to give you the best update that we can.
Again, forgive me for my cough, but here we go.
So right out of the gate, this controversy brought Stephen Wolfe out of his December long vacation.
Stephen Wolfe, the author of The Case for Christian Nationalism, at least for the last two years, so I'm going to call it a habit at this point, he habitually hibernates from X and Twitter in the month of December.
This is something he does.
And I'm sad about it because I follow Stephen Wolfe and I like his take, so...
The idea that the Christmas season, we have to experience the Christmas season without the musings and the intellect of Stephen Wolf on X is very disappointing to me.
It's discouraging to me.
But he came out of hibernation because of this controversy.
He writes, So, woke right.
This is another thing here.
This term, woke right, they're trying to make it a thing.
It's very much like fetch.
It's not going to happen, Gretchen.
You're not going to make fetch a thing.
You're not going to make the woke right a thing as much as they want to.
So here's a few of the Christians, Babylon Bee, Seth Dillon, Joel Berry, reposting.
So this is James' initial claim.
The fact is, the fact is the fact, the leading publication on the so-called woke right published the exact logical structure and much of the same language as Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto.
Now we're going to see here that that's actually not true.
And then Seth James was able to trick these guys into publishing the Communist Manifesto because the woke right is a mere image of the woke left.
That's a lie.
They use the same rhetoric, the same methods, the same grievance and identity framework.
Their solutions differ, but their wokeness is identical.
They so want...
I hope I can even get through this today.
They so want this woke right thing to happen because so they can grasp its straws and firmly plant themselves in the middle and at the same time reject historic Protestant political thought and people who are waking up to the idea that A pluralistic society leads to a parent's right to take their child to a drag show.
A pluralistic society leads to chopping the genitals off of little kids and calling it health care.
At least that's how I see the slippery slope unfolding here.
Of course, I didn't used to be that way.
I used to very much be a libertarian.
Some people are just a little late to get on the bandwagon here or to realize what's going on.
Another one, Stephen Wolf.
Also, the whole point is stupid.
Conservatism in the 19th century was anti-liberal.
They rejected Marxism but saw the corrosive potential of liberalism.
The anti-woke guys are dumb, or at best, bad actors.
Probably, mostly dumb, though.
And then he says here, I'm still on break, but this was an attack on friends, so that's why he came out of hibernation here.
Let's get to the initial claim.
This was an article that James Lindsay, who now says, you know, anti-communist there, atheist James Lindsay, in light of the debate about woke right, had decided to do a little experiment, a throwback to an earlier James, if you will.
So I think he's done this before to the left recently.
And so he says, Now, I mean, part of it is, I guess, technically accurate, but that's, I feel like that's, it's deceptive language, as we'll see here in a minute.
This was the article that he got posted.
It's now under the name James Lindsay, but it was under a fictitious name.
The Liberal Consensus and the New Christian Right.
American Reformer now says, Editors note the following article was written by James Lindsay, who is an avowed atheist, is not eligible for publication in American Reformer.
However, Mr. Lindsay originally submitted this article under the name Marcus Carlson.
Lindsay used a passage of Karl Marx' Communist Manifesto, stripping out its ideological substance but retaining its powerful rhetorical structure.
This was intended as a hoax but is seemingly poorly conceived, given the undeniable power of Marx's rhetorical approach, as Lindsay himself acknowledged.
While we were unaware of its authorship and motive, it is still a reasonable aggregation of some new right ideas repackaged into Marx's effective rhetoric, and we have corrected its authorship to properly credit Mr. Lindsay, We have published hundreds of new and less established writers over the last three years, and our readership has grown exponentially with the lean editorial staff.
Lindsey's exploitation of our high-trust approach demands that we adopt more restrictive screening processes going forward.
Yeah, so, I mean, you know, American Reformer is going to adjust here so something like this doesn't happen again.
But some more takes.
Here's Michael Cassidy.
Now, this is interesting because Michael Cassidy has actually been a target of atheist James Lindsay before.
When Michael Cassidy, the Christian hero, went into the Iowa State House and decapitated the statue of Baphomet, that's who this guy is.
We've interviewed him a couple of times on the show.
Well, we've interviewed him once, I think.
We interviewed his lawyer a couple of weeks ago.
It says, Lindsay, an atheist thought me knocking down that satanic statue was an op, whatever that meant.
Now that's, you know, I was trying to address that, and I may have not gotten it entirely right, because I used to read James Lindsay, and over time I've just begun to ignore him, because he's so triggered by Christians talking about historic political thought that, you know,
but yeah, there were several posts where he would talk about how this is some sort of I just want this country to be a safer, better place for my family.
I believe you're either a Christian nation or a pagan nation.
There's nothing secretive about it.
He says he has a fundamentally different worldview than most of us.
Never trusted him, neither should you.
So that's Michael Cassidy's take.
And of course, this is the American Reformer.
I encourage all of you now to just use this controversy right now.
Those of you who never know, there's some of you out there listening, you have no idea these little disputes that are going on on Christian X. I would encourage you to research them because I think they're very beneficial.
I think we need to know our history, and we don't.
We need to know our church history, and we don't.
And I'm the chief among people that need to learn more.
But American Reformers are great.
If anything, this controversy should be used to grow American Reformers' base, in my opinion.
As they say, they're promoting a vigorous Christian approach to the cultural challenges of our day, rooted in the rich tradition of Protestant social and political thought.
I'm hoping that the tickle in the back of my throat...
I'm sorry I keep coughing.
This is just insane.
So here's an example of a Christian.
Here's Christian writer, Samuel Say, who has, in some cases, kind of a Twitter handle that's kind of setting himself up to fail.
His handle is slow to write.
And oftentimes, well, this kind of, I mean, anytime you have a bad take, people are going to say, well, you weren't very slow to write, were you?
I mean, this is now, it's kind of baked in.
It'd be like having a Twitter handle that says, I'm never wrong.
And then if you're wrong, it's like, whoa!
You know?
But Samuel says he's a Christian writer.
He writes some great stuff.
He writes some stuff I disagree with.
He's on this other side.
He's on the highly skeptical side that are looking over.
Very skeptical of Christian nationalist ideas.
Very skeptical.
He wrote a piece against Stephen Wolf's book, The Case for Christian Nationalism.
Called him a kinist, even though Wolf is not a kinist.
Denies he's a kinist.
And actually went on a show recently and had a very fruitful conversation.
Abounding Grace Radio.
It was a great...
I haven't finished it yet.
I'm almost done.
Anyway, so this is a Christian kind of piling on, taking an atheist's word for it, saying, protect this man at all costs, meaning Atheist Lindsey.
He's tricked a Christian nationalist website into publishing Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto.
The woke right and the woke left agree on basically everything.
They just swap the identities of the oppressors and the oppressed.
They really are trying to get this woke watch.
It's not just Samuel Say.
You've got Neil Shenvey.
They're all trying to get this label to stick, if you will.
But then you've got Jamie Bambrick from Across the Pond standing up for American Reformer.
No, American Reformer did not go full Karl Marx.
James Lindsay wants to prove that the Wolk right is as dangerous as the Wolk left.
His latest effort, a hoax article published by American Reformer, mimics the rhetoric of the Communist Manifesto, but repackages it for paleoconservatives.
It's a clever ruse, but here's why his comparison falls short.
He says, Okay, well, let's just stop right there, because this is really good.
But before, I don't want to bury the lead here.
Because the lead, actually, is over here, where we find...
Hang on a second, kind of previewing these other stories here.
I'm trying to find, is it Jim?
Yeah, so a guy by the name of Jim Hansen has this dead to rights, okay?
He says, James Lindsay, and I'll insert atheist there, atheist James Lindsay is mocking the woke right.
For publishing six pages of the Communist Manifesto.
I've read Marx, and I may not have recognized his edited version.
Judge for yourself.
The red shows the edits he made.
I have no dog in this fight, but you ought to play it straight.
So when you scroll down here and you look at this graph, eventually we'll get to it.
So these are the edits.
According to him, the red is the edits that he made.
The stuff that's in black is actually from the manifesto.
And so from this, you go around and you say, I got them to publish the Communist Manifesto when that's not actually true.
I mean, he technically said parts of the Communist Manifesto, so...
But it's deceptive, okay?
And none of us should be surprised that it's deceptive, and none of us should be surprised, again, that an atheist has an issue with Christians trying to politically organize.
Even though I know Lindsay has, you know, been on the right, on the political spectrum right, or whatever that means at this point, it just goes to show you when you start to actually...
When you start to actually want to recognize a real authority, not government, not man, but God, people who don't believe in that are going to be triggered by it.
And that's right where we are.
Let's see here.
What else do we have?
Smash Bail is always a great follow.
It says if you're a Christian and your greatest political ally to your movement is an outspoken atheist that hates Christ, that should tell you a lot about your movement.
But they really want the woke right to stick, right?
They're very eager.
And right now there's kind of a splinter among the debate in Christian nationalism that I've been following.
Very closely.
It's been very discouraging, to say the least.
I think maybe this could be a moment that Mike could wake some people up and say, okay, come on, guys.
Can we remember what the goal is here?
But I don't anticipate that happening.
Here's the mega-thread.
This is really good.
Somebody named Tyler.
In less than 24 hours, American Reformer delivered one of the quickest comebacks in history.
While I get why some fall for red-a-tier atheist edgelord gotchas, I expect more discernment from Christians.
To clear up any confusion about why Lindsay's hoax failed, I've compiled this thread of tweets.
So that's another thing here.
This was very quickly.
There were detractors, so there's Christian nationalist detractors who were Ready to pounce.
And they did.
Samuel Sayes, one of them.
Babylon Bee guys are others.
But this was actually a really quick turnaround.
And it's not the first time that this happened.
When we had AD Robles recently, and I think AD Robles, he even mentioned this.
We had him on the show weeks and weeks ago.
You know, talking about this controversy with Eschatology Matters, publishing a German pastor's piece where there were inaccuracies about right response ministries, Joel Webin.
Then they pulled it and then they apologized.
And it happened quickly.
And so this is another thing that's going to happen where these attacks that...
For sure this one was obviously premeditated attack, right?
It's an atheist James Lindsay trying to make this term woke right stick.
And yet, when reasonable people get to it, when people who are not double-minded get to it, they look at it and they're able to get the truth out as to what really occurred.
It's a good thing.
Let's see here.
To clear up any confusion about why Lindsay's hoax failed, I've compiled a thread of tweets explaining it.
The most clear description comes from Jim Hansen.
We just showed you that.
You'll see that the vast majority of Lindsey's article was rewritten.
And unless phrases like, as the development, and words like, therefore, have some significant meaning, then he really failed to accomplish anything here.
3 of 13. That significant alterations were made.
Only 14% text overlap.
Far from the claim Lindsey made.
You've got Cernovich.
Do we have that tweet?
I picked a heck of a day, by the way, to do a show where I have very little audio clips.
We're going to take a break here in a minute, 60 seconds, and I'm going to get a drink of water.
Cernovich rightly addresses Christians who failed to heed James 1.19 on being slow to speak or slow to write.
Guys like Neil Shenvey, slow to write, Samuel James, the Babylon Bee guys, and many others.
By the way, there are still time to correct yourself here.
No shaming at all just to say, hey, sorry.
I wonder if they will.
And if you're still not following what the problem is, you've got Jethro, I guess Brandon Zafini, Jethro, I like the name Jethro, because that's, believe it or not, you know, it's an opportunity.
That's actually, that's like my middle name, literally my middle name, just so you know.
And I am from Arkansas.
Let's see here.
And if you're still not following what the problem is, this Jethro guy does a really good job of illustrating the issue with language that even an 8-year-old can understand.
Then we have this.
If you still need help, again, this is not the gotcha that they think, so Matt Kennedy.
Lindsay, I rewrote several pages of the Communist Manifesto, taking out all the communist stuff and replacing it with things that a growing number of Christian conservatives believe, and a Christian conservative publication published it.
Therefore, they're all woke.
You see how ridiculous this is?
And again, the issue here is not as much James Lindsay, the atheist, as much as it's these Christians that were quick To pile on and side and cast their lots with him.
That's the issue here, and it's got to stop.
It's got to stop.
If you've got a problem with historic right-wing political thought, and I say right-wing because I think it always has been, if you've got a problem with that...
Just defeat it with arguments.
Just go back and tell folks why the, you know, just explain why the Protestant fathers were right about, you know, soteriology, were right about church government, but they are wrong about, you know...
I mean, you know, just do that.
I mean, you know, if the current secular pluralism that we have is so great, you should have no problem defending it.
And I think that's the issue.
I think the problem is that they can't defend it because of the self-evident truths that are right in front of my face that I just talked about.
And some of them get really upset when you say this.
Look, I mean, if libertarianism and live and let live means you have to accept kids at drag shows as a blessing of liberty, people are saying, pump the brakes, I'm out.
Christians, young men with young families are saying, no, I'm out.
I'm not doing this anymore.
And especially among people my age, I turned 40 this year, so technically I'm a millennial, but then you look at the Gen Xers that handed the election to Trump.
In many regards.
They remember what their childhoods were like.
They remember being able to play and come home when the streetlights came on.
That's all gone now.
And people have, you know, they look at the evil on display, the wickedness.
Literally, as the Bible says, inventors of evil.
There are people...
I mean, there's a guy on camera...
There is a man on camera that claims he wants to be a woman, and he literally said, I want to be the first man to become a woman and get a uterus surgically implanted in me so that I can get pregnant and get an abortion.
So Inventors of Evil is, like, it's a thing, man.
And it's happening, and people are disgusted by it.
They're turned off by it.
And they're saying if this is the deal, then we have to make some changes.
Enter the people that are saying, you know, it wasn't always this way.
Thomas Jefferson and even Jefferson, right, who's the least religious of the founding fathers, but the framers.
The framers of the Constitution, they weren't sitting around saying, well, the First Amendment will give people the right to blaspheme God in public.
They weren't sitting around, well, the First Amendment will give people the right to just distribute as much pornography as they want, right?
This is what people are realizing.
Okay.
Sorry.
Rant over.
I want to finish this up, though.
Lizzie Marbach.
The only people James Lindsay has actually successfully tricked and made a fool of...
Are the Christians continuing to invite him to speak at their conferences and sharing his lies and propaganda against fellow Christians?
Zero discernment.
The man is a raging anti-Christian atheist.
Just stop.
Defiant Baptists agree so many Christians have egg on their faces now.
We already covered Jim Hansen there, exposing that.
Again, Cernovich, James significantly rewrote the original passages while claiming he submitted them materially unaltered.
Incredibly dishonest representation of what he did.
A lot of the debate.
Flagship Christian nationalist woke right publication has published part of the Communist Manifesto.
Well, yeah, so that does...
I can see what he did there, right?
Part of it would be the whole six pages, but not the entire thing.
But in reality, part was just bits and pieces, right?
So yeah, that's a problem.
Christians rushed in to share the scandal without bothering to confirm it was true.
James did something different than what he said.
A close reading of the text proves it.
Apologies are owed but won't happen.
Is this the William Wolfe tweet?
Do I have it right here?
This is good.
Okay, William Wolfe really, I think, hammers it here.
And he credits Hansen and R.N. McIntyre and others.
But he says, notably, none of these men...
Okay, so this is a big deal.
And we need to talk about this.
Some good guys that are telling the truth right now.
But notably, none of those men are pastors or working for explicitly Christian organizations.
And they're still telling the truth far better than some pastors, seminary professors, Christian publishing house employees, and others on here who make, tout being Christian as a core part of their identity.
I find it fascinating, William Wolfe writes, personally, Hmm.
Wow.
That's my favorite take.
If you've followed the show for any amount of time, you know that I like a lot of William Wolfe's takes.
And Stephen Wolfe's takes.
No relation.
Alright, we're going to take a break.
We're going to reset here, and we're going to come back with more.
Right now, we're going to get a word from our friend, Mr. Mike Lindell.

All right, welcome back to the show. welcome back to the show.
Thanks so much for being with us.
I do have a little preview later today.
And I know you say, Paul, why didn't you even come into work today?
Because, you know, you're obviously still sick and you have to talk and communicate for a living.
Well, the reason I did is because I have something very special scheduled today.
Very special scheduled coming up today at 2 o'clock.
So this shows the Milstone Report.
In the afternoons, I do a show just brand new called the Paul Harrell Program on National Files X account.
So at 2 o'clock Central today...
I'm going to be interviewing a whistleblower live in studio, and he's a contractor, a former contractor for the National Education Association.
And this is something that you don't want to miss.
I've got the receipts.
I've verified his employment.
And he's got a wild story.
He's got a wild story about what they're doing with the teachers' union.
What they're doing with their money.
Just the whole government bureaucracy.
I'm talking tampons in men's bathrooms.
To hiring immigrants that have no business.
No business.
Actually over, you know, the National Education Association.
Here's just a little preview.
And for those of you that have followed me on Twitter, you probably already have seen this.
Maybe not.
I don't know how the algorithm works.
So today at 2 Central, I'll be talking to a former contractor turned whistleblower from the National Education Association.
Watch live on National Files X account.
Until then, ask yourself, what state of mind would you have to be in to create a flowchart that looks like this?
Now, this is a flowchart for, I believe, and we'll get to the bottom of it later today, this is a flowchart for what I believe to be some sort of software development flowchart.
I'm going to take my photo off here.
In what state of mind, if you're drawing a flow chart, would you make the lines come out of the stick figure's crotches?
Honest question.
You've got to make a flow chart, all of you out there.
I'm sure not everybody does that for a living.
But in the digital field, more people do it now than ever before.
In what world are you...
And maybe you say this is a stretch.
Maybe it is a stretch.
It just kind of tells me where the focus of things are.
Where's the mind?
Well, we're going to make sure all of this comes out of the garage.
But again, we've got receipts and we'll be going over that with the whistleblower live in studio coming up at 2 Central today.
And I'm very much looking forward to it.
I think it's going to be an absolute blast.
Alright, next up.
Let's see here.
One second.
I've got to figure out where I was.
You'll have to forgive me.
It was rough getting here this morning and actually preparing for a show.
I'm not going to lie.
I didn't think I could do it.
Alright, so we've got good news.
Yesterday we covered, or Monday we covered, in some capacity, Chad Chronister.
Cronister is the sheriff that was nominated to be the head of the Drug Enforcement Agency.
He's now withdrawn his name.
This was after a huge backlash, huge backlash because of what he did during COVID, arresting pastors, simping for vaccines.
Also, you have to remember this guy was in all these LGBTQ liaison...
There's a plethora of LGBTQ liaison videos across the country.
I mean, it's like a new thing, right?
Local law enforcement, they want to make sure that the LGBTQ feel safe.
And that's why they cover their cars in rainbows during June.
And that's why they don't arrest naked pedophiles that are walking down the street at their parades.
But anyway, I'm not directly tying him to those activities.
I know that was more of a California thing.
This guy's from Florida.
Yeah.
But the bottom line is, these initiatives have gone out, and he starred in one of the videos.
He starred in the LGBTQ liaison video, and we played that for you on Monday.
And people are kind of outraged by it.
They're just outraged that this is the guy that, you know, he bought the COVID propaganda.
Now, his pastor that he arrested, or the pastor he arrested, says they're still friends, and they've...
Repaired the relationship and even said, look, that Chronister has seen the error of his ways and that Chronister has actually realized that he was wrong in what he did.
And that's good.
That's a good thing.
Just like there are countless doctors and nurses that have come to grips with the fact that they killed people with remdesivir.
Some haven't, but some have.
There are doctors that I know of who recommended the shot and no longer do recommend the shot because they know that it's bad.
And it can kill people or give them strokes or give them heart attacks.
That's all well and good that they've changed their minds.
Good for them.
Let's hope it never happens again.
But at the same time, there were plenty of us who didn't buy into it at all.
You think we can get a guy who didn't buy into it at all?
You think we can get a guy that respected liberty in the moment this country needed it more than ever?
Can we get a guy that didn't arrest pastors for wanting to still gather as is commanded in Scripture?
Can we get a guy that, when it was all going down, was rejecting that?
And this is not just for sheriffs.
There were plenty of pastors that kowtowed to the fear of death.
That's what I never understood.
These churches that closed down for weeks and months and months, taking the advice of doctors who were being lied to by Anthony Fauci, a pagan man, Who is more scared of dying than Christians are, I can promise you, or at least should be, listening to experts at the top of our government that are not believers in a higher power.
Or if they are, many of them, or some of them, actually actively worship the devil, and we're supposed to allow that information to inform churches as to whether or not they're going to meet because of a disease?
The whole thing was odd to me.
It was odd to a lot of Christians.
As a matter of fact, there was a mass exodus.
A lot of churches lost a lot of members and a lot of faithful churches that continue to be gained members because people realized, wait a second, I thought, and it goes back to what Megan Basham said in her book, you know that gut feeling that you've had that something's not right?
You're not wrong.
There's a safe space for Marxism that's been carved out in churches and church organizations.
And pastors used to be, or a lot of pastors, especially national figures, used to be by default center-right, and now they're by default center-left.
So, COVID, the silver lining of COVID-19 was that it exposed a lot of churches and church leaders that didn't quite get it.
Right, I mean, I guess growing up, I always assume, I mean, you know, you always have these hypotheticals in your mind, or people talk about them like, what does your faith really mean?
Or you learn about the martyrs, you learn about the Christians that were fed to the lions, or the Christians that were used as torches to light Nero's nighttime debauchery parties.
And we thank God that we're not in those times right now, but we also have the back of my mind, wow.
I mean, that is my fate, potentially.
There is a scenario where that's my fate.
Meaning that we are ready to die for our faith, to die for Christ.
uh if need be and all of a sudden the government says you know 14 days to slow the spread and you know yada yada yada close your church down and and the American church is just like oh okay but the but the members were like wait a second I thought we were like I thought we were ready to die for I mean if we had to I thought we were ready to die this is just the church saying that it's just the government saying not to meet It woke a lot of people up.
That's all I've got to say.
And there are still, I think, pastors out there who now realize that it was all lies.
The question is, have they publicly apologized to their congregations?
That's the question.
And some people think, well, they don't need to.
I disagree.
Even if you were duped, if you still believed a lie, that's still a bad work.
It's still a bad thing to do.
Anyway, sorry I got off on a rabbit trail there, but that's very much a pet peeve.
So people are saying this is a W. Hang on a second.
Who was it?
Friend of the show, Jeremy Carl.
Friend of the show, Jeremy Carl.
W for Twitter, rare L for Trump, vetting team, but they redeemed themselves by listening to their voters and correcting courts.
This sort of withdrawal doesn't happen that quickly at the impetus of the nominee.
Yeah, people were outraged by it.
They were.
A lot of talk about Cash Patel, obviously.
And so National File here, though, is talking about how we should just end the FBI altogether.
You know, back when they were saying Mike Rogers for FBI, and everybody was freaking out, and thankfully Trump came in and said, how am I going to do that?
My thought was, and I tweeted this, you know, wouldn't it be great if he just didn't nominate anybody for the FBI, then abolish the FBI, and then you nominate somebody like a Cash Patel or somebody to...
You know, to head a reconstituted federal law enforcement agency.
I guess the retort to that is, why do we even need them?
Right?
Why do we even need the FBI at this point?
It's a good question.
I mean, they only exist as part of the intel oligarchy that's been weaponized against the American people.
Right now, we're hearing stories that Iran has hacked Kash Patel's documents, right?
It's like they can't get any creative than that, any more creative than that.
I mean, I don't believe that for a second.
I think the intel community is hacking Kash Patel and blaming it on Iran, and they're going to even use the information the media is going to run with it to try to keep somebody like Kash Patel out of the head of the FBI, who knows where all the bodies are buried.
But fundamentally, this tweet is about how the FBI exists to just cover up crimes.
That's what the FBI does.
They exist, and there's countless examples that they just cover up crimes.
The Epstein cover-up has now morphed into the Diddy cover-up.
Same crooked FBI cops and their families.
Yet another reason to end the FBI. This is from Pubulus.
Pubulous says, cover-up operation.
Maureen Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, has joined the prosecution team in the case against Sean Diddy Combs.
Maureen Comey was the lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.
This is now a Fed mop-up operation to protect high-profile Democrats from being exposed.
That is exactly right.
Then we have another one.
The FBI's entire job now is covering up crime syndicates and the FBI. This is from Michael Ray Corey.
Remember when the FBI and CIA covered up four satanic pedophiles?
Let's reform that.
He says, yeah, let's reform that.
I'm picking up on your sarcasm there.
If by reform you mean disband and memorialize it in the ashes of a terrible chapter in American history.
Yeah, absolutely.
Um...
What does this say?
Satanic pedophiles, fact check, true, CIA kidnapping ring.
In the 1970s, you guys can't see this, but in the 1970s, local police in Florida, Texas, California, and D.C. discovered that the CIA was running a satanic cult that would kidnap kids, lock them in cages, and traumatize them before selling them as sex slaves overseas.
We have this.
The FBI takes control of the investigation, learns that the cult is run by the CIA for intelligence purposes, whatever that means.
So the FBI stops investigating, and they sit on the evidence for 50 years until the documents are legally required to be released.
This.
These are our intel oligarchs running the show.
We want to investigate intelligence purposes.
We're investigating hell, so we need to run satanic sting operations.
Obviously, I'm joking.
It's awful.
Speaking of nominees, there's a Wall Street Journal article that broke earlier yesterday saying that Trump was thinking of nominating Ron DeSantis for the Secretary of Defense because Pete Hexeth is not getting the John Thunes of the world, the Mitch McConnells of the world, the Alaska Ranked Choice Voting Senator Murkowski.
Not getting Murkowski.
The left is afraid of disruptors and change events, Pete Hegseth says.
They're afraid of real Donald Trump and me, so they smear with fake anonymous sources and BS stories.
They don't want truth.
Our warriors never back down and neither will I. So Hegseth is saying he's in for the long haul here, that he wants to be Secretary of Defense.
And so we're at an impasse, right?
I mean, we saw what happened with Matt Gaetz.
You know, we heard all this talk about recess appointments.
Will we ever actually get recess?
I mean, I have very little confidence now.
I don't know.
I don't know how.
You know, the American people, they vote too big to rig, overcome the cheating algorithms, whatever.
And yet we still have these senator gatekeepers who hate us.
They hate us.
They hate you.
They hate the American people.
They want our lives to be miserable.
They don't want real lasting change.
They're beholden to the intel oligarchs that control them and everything they do, everything they support.
I don't know what happens.
I don't know how.
I know now's the time to get to the work.
I know they are listening to us more so than ever.
But, and they're not listening to us enough, don't get me wrong.
There's still a lot of really, really bad nominees out there.
Again, bear with me with my cold here, folks.
I really appreciate you bearing with me.
Before we go any further, though, I want to tell you about Pet Club 24-7.
All of you guys out there, or many of you out there, have furry friends.
They're part of your family.
Many people, you know, they feel like their pets are their kids.
I don't go that far.
Although, before I had a kid, I used to.
But you deserve to be treated better.
Our environment is toxic.
You know, RFK is trying to fix this.
Our pets are right there with us.
All the toxins that we're getting, the heavy metals, they're likely getting as well.
Especially if you've got an old pet.
Golden Retrievers used to live, according to what I've read on this website, 15, 16 years old.
They don't do that anymore.
It's because everything's so toxic.
Pet Club 24-7, though, has the answer.
And if you want to support the Millstone Report, you want to support me, you want to support what I'm doing, and also get a great product, you need to try the Mush Puppies.
It's a special mushroom that boosts the immune system of their dog.
The testimonials on here of people saying they get two, three, four more years out of their dog, great years.
The vet says, you've got to put him down.
You've got to put him to sleep.
And they say, if that's a vet, if that's you, try the mush puppies.
Try the other stuff as well.
All kinds of supplements here for your pet.
Also have stuff for people.
Check it out.
Support this show.

So paulherrell.petclub247.com.
Again, the discount is built into the link.
All right.
What else do we got here?
Okay, so we're drawing towards the end.
I did not expect this one.
So CNN, my goodness.
My goodness.
This is incredible.
There is an ACLU transgender lawyer saying children should be allowed to be castrated.
Now, that's outrageous in and of itself, right?
Crazy guy says even two-year-olds know when it's time to transition.
Nuts stuff, right?
You know, totally crazy.
However, Colin Rugg is right.
Nothing can prepare you for what you're about to hear.
This guy's advocating for straight-up evil, straight-up the mutilation of kids, but nothing's going to prepare you for how this...
This is a woman, by the way.
This is not a man.
This is a woman.
And so, I don't know, just take a listen to this.
View of discretion is advised.
...Chase Strangio.
Chase, thanks so much for being here.
Really appreciate it.
So the case comes at a time when 26 states have passed laws restricting healthcare treatments for transgender youth, according to a CNN analysis of data from the nonprofit think tank Movement Advancement Project.
So how do you plan to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court in a case that could have wide-ranging implications beyond the state of Tennessee?
Well, thank you for having me, Jake.
And obviously, this is a critical inflection point for transgender people across the country.
We're coming off of an election season where transgender people played an outside role in people's consciousness in terms of the way in which we were situated as...
I still think...
It sounds like this guy's been edited to sound like more of a chipmunk.
And again, forgive me, this is not a guy.
This is a woman.
...a threat to others.
And when we look at the map of states that ban this type of evidence-based healthcare, we went from zero states that had these bans in 2020 to now more than half the country.
So before the court tomorrow...
The question is really a simple one as I see it.
This is a law that bans medical treatment only when it is prescribed inconsistent with an individual's sex.
Our argument is that that treats people differently because of their sex, and therefore the court has to treat it like all other forms of sex discrimination, and that's why it's unconstitutional.
So attorneys representing the state of Tennessee told the U.S. Supreme Court, quote, if the government's theory holds, men who identify as women could claim constitutionally-based access to women's bathrooms, women's locker rooms, and women's sports, accepting that theory would perversely erode women's rights and jeopardize landmark statutes, protecting women's equal access to schools, winners' podiums, and beyond.
What's your response to that?
Well, I obviously disagree with that premise that allowing transgender women into women's sports or women's bathroom is a threat to women, but it is also not the question before the court in this case.
And in fact, it is a totally independent question about whether a law that bans medical care for transgender adolescents discriminates against people based on sex versus these separate cases that preceded any of these health care bans will continue to be litigated in the courts regardless of the outcome here.
So that clearly is conflating a bunch of different questions.
The question before the court tomorrow is about whether banning medical care, overriding the consent of parents, the recommendations of doctors, is a violation of equal protection.
What do you say?
I mean, you know, yes, override the consent of parents.
They're abusing their kids.
This is child abuse.
You don't have a right to abuse your kids.
See my last, you know, my previous rant back when we were talking about the atheist James Lindsay earlier.
You don't have a right to do that.
To physicians who are sensitive and supportive of trans kids, obviously don't want suicidal ideation, etc., but wonder if there is enough data as of now to prove that it is beneficial to allow these sort of treatments before the age of 18. So I would say three things.
And the first is we have decades of both clinical experience and research.
So the doctors that are doing this, millstones for them, what they're doing to kids, the parents, millstones for them.
This is insane.
These doctors must be criminally charged for abusing children and calling it health care.
It is sick.
It's disgusting.
If we can make our way out of this, which I think we will just from a simple demographic problem that the trans LGBT folks have, history is going to look back at this and say, how did you allow this to happen?
Likewise, we have so-called churches.
Who are allowing sex workers, courtesy of Protestia.
I know this isn't a segment that we normally do because this isn't actually another dude.
Transsexual porn star preaches a sermon claiming that Joseph was a gender variant figure.
So millstones all around for the people that lead this church and the pedophile flag there on the table.
Now to Yelena.
This remarkable woman is the founder and executive director of Sex Workers Action Program Swap Hamilton, a sex worker and advocate of over a decade.
Yelena, you reflect on the rich diversity of gender identity within the context of God's creation and draw strength from the sacred texts that remind us of God's deep care for each and every one of us.
A transgender god?
Genesis 1, verse 27, which says, God created humankind in his image.
In the image of God, he created them.
Male and female, he created them.
Suggests that God's image encompasses both male and female.
So this is why blasphemy laws should be a thing again.
Potentially allowing for a more inclusive understanding of gender beyond a strict binary, which some people interpret as supporting the idea of a gender-fluent or transgender god.
God is not transgender, but, you know, again, blasphemy laws.
They were a thing in America, I think, withstood court challenges until even the 1930s.
I could be wrong there, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.
The terms transgender, nonbinary, and intersex may be relatively...
I mean, we've really come a long way from the Bible doesn't say what it really says about homosexuality and sodomy being a sin.
I mean, the slippery slope is so real here.
I don't see how anybody can see it.
I don't see how anybody can't see it.
But there are some that are still blind.
Like, you know, at first it was just like, ah, the Bible really doesn't say women can't be church officers.
We'll let them preach.
The Bible really doesn't say what it says about sodomy.
Things are different now.
It's okay.
Especially if you're in a monogamous relationship.
By the way, that starts with, well, sodomy is a sin, but you can identify as being gay as long as you don't act on it.
Slippery slope.
You can be a minister and...
Just not act on those gay.
And then, of course, it turns into full-blown.
And then you get to this.
So we're far beyond, like, well, does Scripture really say what it says about women as clergy?
Or does Scripture really say what it says about sodomy in the Bible and what's sin and sexual sin and lust and that sort of thing?
We're now beyond that to God is transgender and the Bible says that he is.
The delusions of these people.
Earlier we talked about inventors of evil.
But gender diversity is not.
Throughout scripture, we see individuals whose lives defied traditional gender categories.
Let us take a moment to explore a few of these figures whose experiences might resonate with many of us in our communities.
Joseph's coat, a sacred expression of gender diversity.
In Genesis 37, we read of Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, who is given a ketanet passim, a richly ornamented coat that sparks jealousy in his brothers.
Some ancient Jewish commenters observe that Joseph's mannerisms, such as the way he staffed his hair, and his disinterest in women, suggest that he might have expressed what we today may call a gender-variant identity.
His disinterest in women, you mean the fact that he wouldn't He succumbed to Potiphar's wife's advances because he didn't want to sin and he also didn't want to sin against Potiphar.
See, this is crazy.
A righteous man that doesn't do what the conniving, lying woman wants him to do.
Oh, that must mean he must be gay, even though he obviously got married later and had kids.
Unbelievable craziness.
I want to remind you guys, again, 2 o'clock today on National Files.
We've got more of that James Lindsay stuff.
Kind of putting a cap on that.
William Wolfe, here's the bottom line about what happened yesterday.
American Reformer didn't get hoaxed, but everyone who took James Lindsay at his word did.
William Wolfe, really good.
Later today, again, reminder, 2 Central.
I'll be talking to a former contractor turned whistleblower from the National Education Association.
Watch live on National Files X, 2 o'clock Central.
Until then, ask yourself, what state of mind would you have to be to come up with that flowchart?
That's all the time that we have for this edition of the Millstone Report.
My name is Paul Harrell, and unless I am providentially hindered, I will see you guys back here tomorrow.
Actually, I'll see you in the afternoon and then back here tomorrow.
So, God bless everybody out there watching.
Thank you so much.
We'll see you next time, whenever that is.
