	Thank you.
	Thanks so much for being with us.
	My name is Paul Harrell.
	This is the Millstone Report.
	We can't do the program without you watching every single day.
	Thank you so much.
	I've got a great show for you.
	You know, one of the benefits of having your own show, sometimes things pop up that are older, but then, you know, you don't know anything about them, and so I kind of go on a personal fact-finding mission to educate myself about history that I'm not quite familiar with.
	And one of those things has to do with the late Anita Bryant.
	Many of you may know, if you're older than me, depending on how much older than me you know, why do you not know who Anita Bryant is?
	Well, I certainly do not know who she is.
	But she passed away in December, or at least it was announced that she passed away in December.
	And recently, there was an article written over in First Things about her.
	I remember the left.
	I remember something about the left just absolutely rejoicing when they found out that she had passed away.
	And so I don't really know who she was.
	And I kind of put her on the back burner and thought, well, that's a rabbit trail.
	You know, that's a threat I'm going to pull at at some point in the future.
	Well, then this was sent to me this morning in one of the chats I was in.
	It's an older post from December 31st over on Facebook from Libs of TikTok.
	And it is purportedly a teacher who wears stilettos, I don't know, to fight gender stereotypes or whatever.
	I'm not really exactly sure.
	But this was the clip.
	I teach high school, and most days of the week I come to school in stilettos.
	I get to stand at about 6'6", and the reason why is so I can create an explicitly queer space for all of my students.
	That way they know that this place is a place for them, by them, because I never had one of those growing up.
	So, yeah.
	Bit of a beast.
	Okay, so obviously the tagline there, this is an actual teacher homeschool your kids.
	So that got me thinking, and there was an article earlier in the week that I had read in First Things, and I thought, you know what, I just want for this audience to know, there may be people out there that don't know, The history of things.
	Often I have said that, you know, the rock and roll moms, I've said this for a long time, I've always said the rock and roll moms of like the 1950s, like this is the devil's music, I think they were right.
	I think they are proven, you know, 100% right, considering the overt, satanic nature of the music industry today.
	And if you go back and you listen to the lyrics, even to the lyrics, some of the lyrics that I can't even believe it, right?
	Like, I would listen to, growing up, I was a big Van Halen fan.
	Go back and you didn't really know some of the lyrics.
	Go back and listen to the lyrics.
	And you're like, wow, what a bunch of just, you know, heathen garbage nonsense that I was listening to.
	And I actually think that's the point of the Blues Travelers song, The Hook, which is just a giant troll about, it doesn't matter what I say, no one's listening to the lyrics, The Hook brings you back.
	Anyway, I digress.
	Anita Bryant, this by John Murdoch, written at the end of last month, Anita Bryant takes a final pie to the face.
	This is an excellent article in First Things that kind of goes over the life of Anita Bryant.
	It says, The family of Anita Bryant only recently announced that the singer and Christian activist died on December 16th.
	The belated family obituary that broke the news notably made no mention of Bryant's prominent efforts in the late 1970s to counter what she called the threat of militant homosexuality.
	This is what really caught my eye.
	The threat of militant homosexuality.
	Now back in the 70s when she was fighting this fight, I think probably a lot of people laughed at this idea.
	A militant homosexuality?
	This is just about loving who you want to love.
	This is just about sleeping who you want to sleep with.
	Is it really about militant homosexuality?
	But it goes on, but if most headlines censor death are any indication, the gay rights movement has certainly not forgotten about that chapter.
	I have seen some pretty nasty things, people celebrating the death of Anita Bryant.
	It goes on, the child of a broken home, Bryant went on to become Miss Oklahoma and a successful singer.
	One of her biggest hits was Paper Roses.
	So inquiring minds want to know, what did that sound like?
	I realized the way your eyes deceived me.
	With tender looks.
	It's so crazy.
	For those of you that watch the Super Bowl halftime show, we're curious.
	I think we need to have a new conversation about what the definition of music actually is.
	That I mistook for love Maybe, just a little bit.
	So take away the flowers that you gave me And send the kind that you remind me of Essentially a woman being deceived by a man.
	She thought she was great, thought that he loved her, but it was paper roses, all paper roses.
	Anyway, add it to your list.
	I think it's a pretty good song, actually.
	I really do.
	I just want to remind everybody, this segment of the Millstone Report brought to you by Red Vive Health.
	Go to redvivehealth.org.
	We'll talk more on that here in a minute.
	But back to Anita Bryant.
	So, she becomes Miss Oklahoma.
	Her biggest hit was Paper Roses.
	We just heard a little bit of it there, which was a lament about being deceived in matters of love.
	She entertained the troops with Bob Hope in Vietnam.
	She sang at both Democratic and Republican national conventions in 68. She performed at the 71 Super Bowl and sang as President Lyndon Johnson.
	Was laid to his grave two years later.
	What we're going to find here, folks, is that Anita Bryant was maybe the first, certainly a prototype of cancel culture, of speaking out based on a biblical conviction and having your celebrity completely trashed because of it.
	And this was back in the 70s.
	This was back in the 70s.
	In 1976, Bryant used her celebrity when she was widely known as a pitchwoman for Florida Orange Juice.
	She was living in Miami.
	She supported somebody by the name of Ruth Shack in her campaign for political office.
	She was running for Dade County Commissioner.
	If you go over here to Wikipedia, you'll find Ruth Shack, an American politician who served as the sponsor.
	This is the problem.
	This was the biggest, this was a huge deal.
	Ruth Shaq then turned around and served as the sponsor of the 1977 Human Rights Ordinance in Miami-Dade County.
	Human Rights Ordinance.
	Okay.
	And that's why this article says, when Shaq introduced that resolution, which would make sexual orientation a special protected class, talk about being ahead of your time, again in 77, The Baptist Sunday school teacher Anita Bryant was taken aback.
	Bryant had amicably worked with plenty of homosexuals in the entertainment industry, but as a mother of four, she feared the ordinance would require Christian schools to allow openly homosexual individuals to instruct their kids.
	Anita Bryant was right.
	We may need to make t-shirts.
	We may need to make t-shirts.
	Anita Bryant was right.
	Despite her initial outreach to Shaq and others, The resolution, one of the first gay rights laws in the country, passed.
	When Bryant spearheaded the effort to repeal the law via a referendum, she became the face of parental rights and traditional family values on TV. She won the 700 Club, Phil Donahue Show.
	In response, singer Sewing Machines pulled the plug on a variety show she was set to host.
	And celebrities from Carol Burnett to Johnny Carson made her a prudish punchline.
	Still, nearly 70% of the referendum voters agreed with Bryant.
	And they won.
	They won in fantastic fashion.
	Even Reagan flew in to support it at the time.
	Following the landslide victory, Bryant famously took a pie to the face.
	And this is something, again, history, I just did not know.
	She took a pie to the face.
	This is what it looked and sounded like.
	Because if you don't flaunt it, who's going to know you're homosexual or not, you see?
	What they wanted to do was to flaunt it and to not lose their jobs because of it.
	If we were going to go on a crusade across the nation and try to do away with the homosexuals, then we certainly would have done it on June the 8th after one of the most overwhelming victories in the country.
	But we didn't.
	We tried to avoid it and went into a place called Norfolk, Virginia and were met with protests and all kinds of problems.
	Security agent, security agent.
	No, no, let him stay.
	Well, at least it's a fruit pie.
	Let's pray for him right now.
	Anita, let's pray.
	Anita, why don't you pray?
	That's all right.
	Father, we want to thank you for the opportunity of coming to Des Moines.
	And Father, I want to ask that you forgive him.
	That we love him.
	And that we love him.
	And that we're praying for him.
	To be delivered from his deviant lifestyle father.
	And I just...
	We forgive you, and we love you.
	Thank you.
	I don't want this man touched or harmed in any way.
	You have done your cause more harm, thus always to bigots.
	Do you know who's here?
	You know who saw you do that?
	Do you know who saw you do that?
	We love you as a person.
	This man is from Rolling Stone Magazine.
	Do you know what kind of publicity you're going to get?
	He can't stand the garbage you spelt.
	Okay, so the man that threw the pie to the face there, again, back in the day, this was before I was born, was a man by the name of Thomas Lawrence Higgins, who died in 1994 of AIDS. The person who pied her, Tom Higgins, was a homosexual activist who was later credited with coining the term gay pride.
	So the guy that hit, the guy that threw, this is incredible to me.
	The fact that this all started with an ordinance and then there was a referendum and now we have this news out of Massachusetts that one of the cities there is going to become a trans sanctuary.
	We're going to talk about that here in a minute.
	It's incredible to me.
	How the slippery slope is just self-evident if you go and you look at where we were versus where we are and where we're going.
	The person who pied her Tom Higgins, homosexual activist, later died of AIDS, coins the term gay pride.
	The person that threw the pie is credited with coining the term gay pride.
	This says based on a memory of the seven deadly sins from his Catholic upbringing.
	So Higgins died of AIDS in 1994. And did not see the subsequent dominance of that, quote, pride, end quote, within American culture.
	Bryant certainly did, though, even as she faced her own challenges.
	Her marriage ended in a divorce.
	She was suicidal for a time.
	She later married Charlie Dry, a childhood friend, part of NASA's Apollo program.
	And I'm sorry.
	Looks like we have somebody coming in.
	I'm on the air.
	I'm on the air.
	Yeah, I'm on the air.
	Sorry about that.
	Sorry, I didn't know what was going on for a second.
	Anyway, sorry, somebody was coming to the studio for a second.
	I have this curtain over the door and I didn't understand exactly what was going on.
	I'm sorry, I've got a...
	I've got some protection right here.
	I didn't know what to do.
	Anyway, back to this.
	After attempts to revitalize Anita's career in places like Branson, Missouri and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, they lived for more than two decades in their native Oklahoma.
	California Governor Ronald Reagan flew across the country to personally show support for Bryan in the midst of the referendum campaign, but American culture and politics have since shifted.
	And then this talks about...
	It really talks about, in my opinion, the slippery slope.
	We've got Donald Trump.
	You've got that photo of him holding the rainbow flag.
	We've got openly homosexual people in key positions, including the new Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessett, which, by the way, the judge is not even allowing him to look at the books.
	We're going to talk about that here in a minute as well.
	We've got fundraising by the Log Cabin Republicans.
	And everything else.
	Truly, things are much different.
	And many people, you know, you may be one of these people out there that says, well, it's all benign.
	But I would submit to you, no, it's not.
	Because this is the story right now at a Worcester City Council the other day.
	They have voted to make their city a sanctuary city for transgender people.
	And there's a lot of people on the...
	People who are kind of coming from the left, and they're embracing ideas on the right.
	And one of the reasons they're doing that is because things like, you know, transing children is unpopular.
	They're thinking, hey, this is just wrong, evil, I can't get on board with that, and so I'm here.
	But they don't want to crawl back up the slippery slope and say, well...
	These battles that we lost in the 60s, these battles that we lost in the 70s, are what led to transing kids, are what led to parents saying, hey, I've got the right to take my kid to a drag show that is, you know, the only reason it's happening is because it's for children, right?
	You know, essentially just catechizing people into this new woke sex religion, catechizing little kids into this new woke sex religion.
	And people are not...
	Not everybody, but people need to connect the dots.
	If you don't like the cultural decay of what's going on, and I say this in the context of a lot of really great positive things happening, but if you don't like the cultural decay that we've observed, we're going to have to go back.
	You're going to have to go back and recognize how we got here.
	And it was incremental, and it was one step after another down a wicked and evil path.
	Based on what standard?
	Well, Based on the standard of the character of God that we find revealed in Scripture.
	So, and, you know, I'll just let this, you know, to prove my point, by the way, there will be, there's some four-letter words here.
	Eric Daughtery, see it, this is in Worchester, Massachusetts.
	They vote to become a sanctuary city after this article says...
	It was a 9-2 vote over three hours of public testimony.
	So here's kind of a condensed version of the LGBT RSTLNE, which liked to buy a vowel enclave, coming before this city council and demanding that their city become a trans sanctuary.
	This is what it sounded like.
	I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't.
	And if you think you're afraid of Trump, you should see how afraid of Trump I am.
	Can you wrap up, please?
	Yes, I can.
	If you say that you're afraid of Trump and that's why you don't want the city to be a safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.
	I'm shaking right now.
	I don't want to be here.
	I'm sorry.
	Am I taking too long pleading for my life?
	You remembered how many children I have and that two of them are trans.
	I speak as both the B and the T in the LGBT. I'm multiply disabled.
	I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder that causes me immense physical pain.
	I'm on the autism spectrum, and I have narcolepsy, and I couldn't drive myself here, so I had to hide from my driver that...
	I was in drag, which is not an easy thing to do in drag.
	I do not want to be here.
	It's my day off.
	I do not want to be in your DMs.
	I do not want to be in your email inboxes.
	I do not want my creativity writing diss tracks like Kendrick.
	I don't want to spend an hour applying glitter on my face so that you will hear and see me.
	I want you to listen to me.
	Let us remember that the Nazis burned books on gender sciences first.
	Now the administration has villainized and marginalized migrant workers, trans, LGBT people, and even special needs, denying life-saving and affirming care.
	Can you look at me and tell me how many of my friends need to die before you do anything?
	Look at me!
	Okay, we're all done here.
	Of course, we need to continue celebrating Black History Month because in spite of what's coming down from Washington, we all know that we all exist and we all need to be recognized for our existence.
	But be aware that you are a guest in my house when you come.
	And when you come, know that there are strong queer and trans people in my classroom who will collect you with the quickness.
	My name in drag is Dee Dee Delight.
	Woo!
	And my name out of drag is Dewey Cosgrove Atienza.
	My legal name is Olivia D'Ambrosio.
	My public name is Livy Scanlon.
	My wife and I own a home in the Canal District.
	I speak as someone who is always misgendered like all the time.
	People refer to me as sir when I prefer to be referred to as ma'am.
	I speak as someone who is afraid to use public toilets.
	I speak as someone who is a member of this community and is a queer person.
	You have to imagine being me and my wife.
	Fearing that our marriage rights will be stripped away at any moment.
	Please, I only have so much time.
	Please, please, Joe's gonna cut me off.
	Which matters more?
	Covering the legal fees of systemic police brutality or protecting the lives of queer people in our community?
	How many lives have to be lost?
	Before you consider fighting back against fascism and corruption.
	Now is the time to say that if federal money relies on the dehumanization of trans people, that we don't want your goddamn money.
	I get that some of you care more about easy funding than trans lives, and don't mind Nazis for some whatever reason.
	Normally I would say good evening, but through the chair I will only impart my sour grapes.
	It's an extremely emotional and taxing thing to stand up here.
	As someone as part of the trans and gender diverse community.
	My name is Katie.
	I'm from District 5, and I'm speaking in support of Agenda Items 10B and 14B. So, we've come a long way from this.
	By the way, the resolution did pass.
	We've come a long way from that to Anita Bryant getting pied in the face.
	The problems.
	And then praying for her assailant.
	Come a long way.
	We really have.
	And so, yeah, I think you could make t-shirts.
	Anita Bryant was right.
	I would buy one of those.
	I would buy one of those.
	So, that's my little thread.
	That's the thread I pulled at this morning, and I was just like, you know what, I want to share this with the audience, and here we are.
	And so, you know, other people are observing these societal differences, so what are some other consequences of Anita Bryant being correct?
	Yo, look what they done did.
	Now this got to stop.
	This is not no kin.
	I remember when I was coming up, Ken looked like an executive white man who was straight.
	You know what I'm saying?
	He drove a black Corvette.
	You know what I mean?
	And he was taking Barbie as his wife.
	Now look at him.
	They got him all looking all feminized and all this stuff here.
	This is crazy.
	You know you can't blame nothing but the alphabet community for this.
	This is crazy.
	Why does he have ice cream and a snowboard?
	Like, you know, that is not manly.
	Ain't nobody going to be snowboarding with some ice cream.
	That don't even go together.
	That's not even right.
	You understand?
	Look at this man haircut.
	This is crazy.
	Look at it.
	He got a swoop.
	This is crazy.
	And then he got the haircut on the side and the swoop like the girls used to do back in the day when they went in the club.
	This is crazy.
	And his hair gonna go back messed up.
	That's not Ken.
	That's Kenesha.
	Y'all, look what they done did.
	I've got my own story on that.
	We were trying to find a Ken doll for my daughter.
	This was back, I don't know, maybe a year ago.
	And all of them looked...
	Homosexual.
	All of the Ken dolls.
	And I've never actually seen this version.
	I don't even know what this is.
	I mean, I know it's a Barbie brand.
	But anyway, we're trying to find a Ken doll.
	A white Ken doll that did not look feminine.
	And the only one we could find was confined to a wheelchair.
	That's right.
	The only Ken doll that we could find came with a wheelchair.
	A wheelchair accessory, presumably because you can't just have a normal white Ken doll that looks normal.
	You're going to have to give them a disability.
	That's the only way.
	You can look normal and be white, but you're going to have to be marginalized in some capacity.
	And so in that sense...
	We'll just, you know, we'll give you a kin that doesn't have functioning legs.
	Now, of course, you know, you do whatever you want to with the doll, but he comes with a wheelchair.
	It's incredible.
	Absolutely incredible.
	All right, so here we go.
	This was the other thing I wanted to cover.
	The JFK files, the RFK files, the MLK files.
	We're waiting for the files.
	We're waiting for the release of this information.
	And then yesterday, Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna has been teasing some press conference for at least a week, as I've been seeing it out there.
	And so she comes out and she says, you know, we're going to form a task force to review the documents.
	Now, there was an interesting note in the press conference.
	Let's get to that first, and then we'll get to whether or not this is a good idea.
	Our first investigation will be announced, but it's going to be covering on a thorough investigation into the John F. Kennedy assassination.
	And I can tell you, based on what I've been seeing so far, the initial hearing that was actually held here in Congress was actually faulty in the single-bolt theory.
	I believe that there were two shooters.
	And we should be finding more information as we are able to gain access into the SCIF, hopefully before the files are actually released to the public.
	We're getting confirmation two shooters that took the life of JFK. So she mentions, you know, she believes there were multiple shooters.
	Okay, this is something that many of us already know, suspect.
	I mean, there's plenty of people out there that have debunked the official narrative.
	I think that's not news at all.
	There are documents, though, that have been redacted.
	There's reports now that the FBI has found a bunch of other documents that...
	That were never submitted to the Warren Commission.
	That, to me, I'm just...
	Great.
	If that's true, I want to see them, but I want to see these others that have been released with, you know, that have been redacted.
	I want to see those.
	We want to see it all.
	Do you really need...
	Are we really to the point right now where we need a...
	Another task force, another committee hearing.
	And look, I'm going to be cynical about this.
	I'm going to be very cynical about this.
	My cynicism has to do with the fact that many times these committee hearings end up being really good at getting soundbites.
	Those soundbites are clipped.
	They're played on shows like this one.
	But they're also sent out in emails to fundraise for congressional campaigns.
	Now look.
	I know that's not going to change, and I know that's just how the system works, but we just want to see the files.
	Just let us see the files.
	We don't need...
	And I'm not saying that this 100% is what it is, but we don't need gatekeepers.
	We just need you to release the files.
	You could put them on X. You could put them on...
	Shipwreck was saying this over on X. You could put them on the White House website.
	Matter of fact, I think I pulled some of that right there.
	Yep, here it is.
	Shipwreck says we don't need the verification.
	Just drop it publicly.
	You're gatekeeping the information so people have to come to you first to even hear what it is.
	That's not okay.
	Drop all the documents on X, our White House website, then start your hearings.
	Now, this is in response to 13 hours ago.
	Somebody says, just release all of it.
	Let the American people decide there's no purpose for you to curate anything after 60-plus years.
	Anna Polina Luna says they will be released.
	POTUS may have declassified.
	However, there has been follow-up and verification that there has to be follow-up and verification that has to be completed.
	That is what we are for.
	All previous Congresses did not, in my humble opinion, conduct thorough investigations, mainly because they did not either see the full files or intentionally chose to ignore the evidence.
	Either way, it is our objective to get this information to the American people and let them decide.
	Again, she says POTUS may have declassified.
	Look, just release them.
	Just release them.
	And that's what we want.
	We just want to see the files.
	If it is true that we don't just get them in some sort of blanket dump, just a whole trove of documents, and then you let these...
	Look, this is the truth.
	The truth of the matter is...
	There are people who are not in Congress who are far more qualified and have spent their entire lives researching the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
	They already know where the government has lied.
	They already know which documents have been redacted and what they suspect what is behind those redactions.
	There are people far more qualified and that have spent their entire life, many of them, on that event.
	And you just need to give them the documents.
	If you want to call before your committee afterwards, that's great.
	So if this committee is actually there to somehow, well, we're going to let them filter through Congress first, that to me is a huge red flag.
	And I don't trust that.
	I don't trust that at all.
	And I don't think many of you trust that either.
	Just give us the documents.
	Most of the people, like somebody who has all the goods and knows what really happened, Isn't in Congress right now.
	I mean, you know, unless you want to make RFK Jr. the head of all this, then you might have my attention, because that's somebody who actually, I think, has seen a lot more than he's even said publicly, and he's said quite a lot publicly, essentially, that the CIA killed his dad.
	That's what he said.
	So, anyway, it's...
	I'm not...
	Not holding my breath, but just give us the documents.
	So I hope we get more information on this really soon.
	Because I'm not buying it.
	Now, in the meantime, the left continues to melt down.
	This banger just dropped.
	Take a listen.
	This is the protest over Elon Musk and Doge uncovering corruption, shutting down USAID. Which side are you on?
	Which side are you on?
	Which side are you on?
	We'll fight against George.
	We'll fight Elon Musk.
	No way, let's get within our walls.
	We'll fight from dawn to dusk.
	Oh, which side are you on?
	Which side are you on?
	Tell me.
	Which side are you on?
	Which side are you on?
	Clearly this woman sat down to write these lyrics and made a list of words that rhyme with musk.
	What rhymes with musk?
	Oh yes, dusk.
	Dusk.
	That's right, dusk.
	Oh man, so many jokes that can be made out of this.
	All of mine are nerdy, though.
	I don't know, it just reminds me.
	It's like, don't give the mountain back to the dwarves, right?
	Erebor would never have been reclaimed if this is what the song sounded like.
	Oh, sorry.
	I'll keep the nerd stuff to myself from now on.
	William Wolfe, the head director of the Center for Baptist Leadership.
	The Trump agenda cannot be allowed to be derailed by a handful of unelected partisan judges who themselves are breaking the law under cover of injunctions to thwart the will of the people who put Trump in office.
	We need serious judicial reform now.
	He is exactly right.
	We do need that.
	And we're going to talk more about that here in just a minute.
	But before we go and do anything else, I want to tell you about Red.
	Red Vive Health.
	The healing power of light.
	This is red light therapy for your health where you're going to look better, you're going to feel better, and you're going to perform better.
	The fact of the matter is that we don't get the amount of red light that we need.
	It's naturally available for the sun.
	Many of us are kept up and cooped up in offices.
	I know I'm cooped up in a studio right now surrounded by a bunch of blue light.
	These red light panels are incredible.
	You see their anti-aging properties.
	They've got great custom reviews.
	Check it out.
	If you've been thinking about getting into this red light game, this red light therapy, the medicine of the future.
	Where you can avoid getting on that big pharma hamster wheel?
	Then I want you to consider Red Vive and go to redvivehealth.org.
	You see it right there, redvivehealth.org.
	You help support the program, and you also get a fantastic piece of equipment and technology.
	Okay, we're talking about red and near-infrared light.
	That's what it means from these panels.
	There's two different sizes available for you to buy.
	They've got 0% interest financing available.
	Two different wavelengths that are naturally emitted by the sun.
	In targeted doses, though, these waves have a healing effect, absorbed by the skin, leads to enhanced skin health, anti-aging, collagen production.
	And then there's near-infrared light on the panel that penetrates deeper into the body, which reaches your bones, reaches your muscles, the tissues, your organs, your cells, the mitochondria.
	Check this out, folks.
	This is game-changing stuff.
	I read about it first 15 years ago, talked to a guy who was doing his thesis on this, graduated physical therapist, I don't know whatever you call it, but it was like his final paper.
	And this is what he did it on.
	He was right.
	This is the future, and the future actually is here now.
	These are in-home devices, clinical strength in-home devices for you.
	Also, if you are a clinician out there and you want to check this out, there's also a path for you to go down that route to put this in one of your clients.
	All right, go right now, redvivehealth.org slash Paul, that's redvivehealth.org slash Paul, and realize that this is light for healing, and this is hope for tomorrow.
	All right, now back to the program, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
	William Wolfe is exactly right.
	The Trump agenda, we cannot allow this Trump agenda to be thwarted by these judges, right?
	Elon Musk is on it, but we got another, you know, we got another Disappointing bit of news.
	A judge just blocked dropping the overhead charge on NIH branch from the outrageous 60% to a reasonable 15%.
	The judge is forcing the corruption to continue.
	These are all liberal justices.
	You've got these wacko liberals that are going around shopping these cases in front of Obama judges to get what they want.
	Now, Jeff Younger points out that not everybody is obeying.
	There's this expectation that Trump has to obey these judges, which he doesn't, while at the same time we've got hospitals out there trying to trans kids that are refusing to go along with the order to stop transing kids or we will defund your organization.
	Libs of TikTok.
	pointing out that the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles sent an email notifying staff they will continue hormone treatments on current minor patients even after Trump issued an executive order banning funding for gender affirming care on minors.
	They should be stripped of their funding immediately.
	Jeff Younger, who's still trying to save his son from chemical castration, It says, federally decertify the hospital and deny all funds and do it now.
	There's got to be teeth in this, and this is why they don't want Trump to have control of the Treasury and everything else.
	I'm sure the Treasury is over Medicare payments and Medicaid payments.
	At the same time...
	Megan Basham is reporting some hospitals appear to be complying, or at least they're complying in the visuals that they put up.
	Megan Basham writing that a friend just messaged her that the pride flags are coming down at Mount Sinai Hospital.
	They're citing Trump's recent executive orders and concern over federal funding.
	Says, friend, I think people underestimate how much the state dictates culture.
	And that's why the culture war matters.
	More on that here in a minute.
	Culture war does matter.
	I think we may have been sold a lie.
	I think we've been told for a long time that in order to get politics to change, you have to change the culture first.
	This is a common...
	And I'm not saying I completely disagree with that idea that politics is downstream of culture, but it's funny.
	I think we now know, thanks to the USAID funding scam, Many of the Christian organizations that have been telling us this have been taking money from the feds.
	So actually, no, when people get in control of institutions, politicians actually can affect the culture in major ways, I think.
	So that would mean more Christians in government who have power and then use that power to punish evildoers.
	Is actually a really good thing and can have immediate positive implications for everyone, regardless of what you believe personally.
	Yeah, Derek Evans tells us Elon Musk recently...
	Elon Musk changed his name briefly on X. His own Twitter handle, he changed to Harry Balls.
	This was obviously after the big balls.
	Nickname for one of the Doge staffers.
	Yeah, he changed his Twitter ID to like a juvenile joke earlier today.
	Yeah, he likes that.
	I mean, I'm not offended.
	It's just stupid.
	Well, you got it.
	This guy has power and he's trolling us.
	Follow up on Dr. Steve Cottle, this Tennessee preacher that called for violence.
	Elon Musk is aware.
	He says, this tells me that he is trying to hide massive fraud.
	Good question.
	How many, and specifically, how many black pastors are a part, and I'm talking about ones in maybe like the Delta, Mississippi Delta.
	I'm talking about maybe in, you know, how many black pastors are a part of organizations or benefit from All of these non-profits that were just getting millions and millions of dollars for years and years and years.
	This is a legitimate question to have.
	And it looks like Elon Musk is just looking at this guy's reaction.
	Again, we can hear it again.
	We played it for you a few days ago on the show.
	In this nation, I'm worried that we are on the verge of bloodshed.
	This is an attempt to take us back to a day that we do not want to go and we will not go.
	Therefore, there will be conflict.
	I pray that the peace of God will win out and overcome the madness that is attempting to take over this nation.
	All we're doing is...
	And I will say to you, beloved, no one likes violence.
	But sometimes violence is necessary.
	Sometimes violence is necessary, he says, from the pulpit.
	Elon Musk has watched this and says, this tells me that he's trying to hide massive fraud.
	That's his level of skepticism in all of this.
	Yesterday, Musk was in the Oval Office with a joint press conference with President Trump, and he talked about some sort of elevator shaft made of limestone.
	Did you guys hear this?
	That there's only 10,000 people in the government.
	10,000 people can retire a month because the files are all kept in some sort of limestone mine, and the speed of the elevator dictates...
	How much attrition this country could actually take advantage of.
	The most number of people that could retire possibly in a month is 10,000.
	We're like, well, why is that?
	Well, because all the retirement paperwork is manual on paper.
	It's manually calculated, then written down on a piece of paper.
	Then it goes down a mine.
	I'm like, what do you mean a mine?
	Like, yeah, there's a limestone mine where we store all the retirement paperwork.
	And you look at a picture of this mine.
	We'll post some pictures afterwards.
	And this mine looks like something out of the 50s because it was started in 1955. So it looks like it's like a time warp.
	And then the limiting factor is the speed at which the mine shaft elevator can move determines how many people can retire from the federal government.
	So let me get this straight.
	There's a building.
	Is this the Treasury Building?
	There's a building with an elevator shaft that leads to a limestone mine underneath.
	Where else?
	What other buildings have these functions?
	And are they connected to other areas?
	I mean, the dysfunction of government aside, I'm more curious about the infrastructure under Washington, D.C. How about you?
	It breaks down sometimes, and then nobody can retire.
	Doesn't that sound crazy?
	There are like a thousand people that work on this.
	So I think if we take those people and say, you know what, instead of working in a mineshaft and carrying manila envelopes to boxes in a mineshaft...
	You could do practically anything else, and you would add to the goods and services of the United States in a more useful way.
	You know, credit to Newt Gingrich.
	I don't know if he had this in mind, but back in the Obama years when Newt Gingrich tried to run for president a few times, one of the things he did talk about was everything that we're running off of.
	Bureaucratically speaking, you know, from the government standpoint, it's all stuff that really come of age, you know, after World War II, in the 50s, in the 60s, and it's everything, all innovation stopped at that point.
	And so there was no digital revolution in terms of the way the bureaucracy works.
	It's all just kind of been done the same way.
	And I think Newt was the first person I heard.
	Explaining how we had to overhaul everything.
	That overhauling is what he's trying to do.
	I think he's going to do it and then some, because even when Newt was saying this back in 08, 2012 or whatever, AI wasn't what it is or going to be, which I'm terribly skeptical of in the first place.
	But you get the point.
	Also, the mainstream media...
	I'm not quite sure how to handle Elon Musk doing press conferences with his child.
	I love this.
	I love this.
	I love the idea of normalizing family, normalizing the fact that, you know, why are we here?
	What are we doing this for if we're not doing this to be able to spend time with the most important aspect of our lives, and that's our families, their prosperity, They're good.
	They're benefit.
	They're spiritual health.
	That's why we do any of this is because of the natural family unit.
	That's why we go to work.
	That's why we're doing this.
	So the idea of normalizing children being around...
	This is why I'm a huge fan of children, and this is just a pet peeve of mine, I'm a huge fan of children being in worship services at church and not being scuttled away and kept somewhere because they may make a noise or something, or they may have trouble learning to sit still for an hour.
	Anyway.
	So they're all trying to say the emalguments clause.
	This is back.
	Remember when Trump...
	Was elected the first time.
	The emoluments clause!
	The emoluments.
	He owns hotels.
	The emoluments clause.
	Now they're bringing back the emoluments clause and trying to force it on Elon Musk.
	But beware.
	If you're one of these people in government that makes a modest salary or actually a pretty nice salary, but yet you're worth millions and millions of dollars, Elon Musk wants to look into you.
	And also, could you mention some of the things that your team has found, some of the crazy numbers, including the woman that walked away with about 30 million?
	Right.
	Well, we do find it sort of rather odd that, you know, there are quite a few...
	People in bureaucracy who have ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow manage to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position, which is what happened to USAID. We're just curious as to where it came from.
	Maybe they're very good at investing, in which case we should take their investment advice perhaps.
	Or open an investigation and prosecute them for...
	I don't know, fraud, insider trading, whatever.
	What do you think?
	We're going to take a quick break and listen to our friend Carlos Cortez from Cortez Wealth Management back here in 50 seconds.
	You probably click this link because you don't trust the stock market.
	You know that it's manipulated.
	You know it's rigged for the big banks.
	You know that you can be financially inoculated with everything that's going on.
	And the reason why you're here is because you might have some FUD. Fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
	Fearful because you don't know what's going on.
	Uncertainty because there's no one to talk to.
	And doubtful because there's no plan on what is about to come.
	But one thing, when it comes to retirement planning, if you don't have a game plan for whatever is about to come, then you are not prepared.
	It's time for you to protect your money.
	Outside of buying gold and silver, this is going to be the best thing because you're protected by contract law.
	Completely, completely different animal, guys.
	Again, Carlos Cortez here.
	Hope I can hear from you.
	And let's just have a conversation to see if this strategy works for you.
	All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
	Make sure that when you call Carlos Cortez or you go to cortezwm.com that you mention my name, Paul, and tell the great folks at Cortez Wealth Management where you heard about his services and what an American First retirement policy plan is.
	Tom Homan responding to the Pope.
	The Pope criticizing Trump's immigration policy.
	I like a housework for the Pope.
	The Pope wants to fix the Catholic Church.
	I'm saying this as a lifelong Catholic.
	I'll baptize the Catholic.
	The First Communion is a Catholic.
	Confirmation is a Catholic.
	You ought to fix the Catholic Church and concentrate on his work and leave border enforcement to us.
	He wants to attack us from securing our border?
	He's got a wall around the Vatican, does he not?
	So he's got a wall around and protect his people and himself, but we can't have a wall around the United States.
	So I wish he'd stick to the Catholic Church and fix that and leave border enforcement to us.
	We're just in incredible times.
	It really is incredible times going on right now.
	Also, you've got interesting backlash going on.
	Rick Warren, a man who influenced Pastor Rick Warren, was kicked out of the Southern Baptist Convention.
	Pastor Rick Warren...
	He's influenced a generation of people.
	And now that we're in the midst of the deportations, it's only people who are left of center that think, oh, it's because of who they surround themselves with.
	People who are right of center right now are like, okay, you know, this is finally, we're getting like...
	Law and order.
	And some people are more gung-ho than others, but at the most part, it's not like, oh, a call to arms!
	Oh, we've now got to tell everybody that the best place to be is in the middle.
	Rick Warren twists scripture to try to make a political point.
	And I just want to applaud the SBC for having the wisdom to remove him from their affiliation over, I think it was over women clergy.
	I could be wrong on that.
	He quotes John 19, 18. They crucified Jesus with two others on each side and Jesus in the middle.
	The guys on both sides were thieves, he says.
	He says if you're looking for the real Jesus, not a caricature disfigured by partisan motivations, you'll find him in the middle, not on either side.
	That's right.
	So Jesus, on all these big issues of our day, transing kids, Open borders, allowing third-world barbarian hordes in to make everybody less safe, to kill our sons and our daughters.
	Jesus would have been in the middle on that issue, according to him.
	You'll find him in the middle.
	Never mind the fact that...
	Was it the thief on the right that actually went to heaven?
	I mean, if we're going to make dumb analogies and twist scripture, we could play that game too, couldn't we?
	Just a reminder that Rick Warren is the guy that in 2008 went to the World Economic Forum.
	Here at Davos with a lot of my friends.
	And we're talking about what are the biggest problems on the planet and how we're going to solve them.
	Right now, I think there are five what I call global giants.
	Extreme poverty.
	Pandemic diseases, illiteracy, corruption, and the spiritual emptiness.
	These problems are so big, nobody's been able to solve them.
	You've got to take three-pronged strategy to do this.
	There's a role for the public sector, there's a role for the private sector, and there's a role for the faith sector.
	Houses of worship have things that...
	Businesses and government will never have.
	In the first place, we have universal distribution.
	The church was global 200 years before Davos there.
	We talk about globalization.
	I could take you to 10 million villages around the world, but the only thing in it is the church.
	And we are in more locations in the United Nations.
	We speak more languages than the United Nations.
	We're in a thousand more people groups than the United Nations.
	Maybe that's why the Pope is so upset, right?
	Because he knows that Latin American people tend to be Catholic.
	You see, there are 600 million Buddhists in the world, there are 800 million Hindus in the world, there are a billion Muslims in the world, but there are 2.3 billion Christians in the world.
	If you take people of faith out of the equation, you've ruled that 5-6 of the world.
	So we have to mobilize these faith groups to work together on these issues.
	We have to mobilize faith groups to do...
	In an act, the World Economic Forum agenda, again, Rick Warren, 2008, that's essentially what he's saying.
	We saw that the chickens come home to roost in 2020 when the exact thing happened with COVID and so many people, well, let's just say, so many pastors just parroted the talking points of the government.
	And didn't push back at all.
	And those churches that did believe that they needed to meet were scorned.
	They were shunned by many people in the evangelical world as not...
	It's actually not loving your neighbor.
	It was preposterous then, it's preposterous now, and there's been a complete...
	In some cases, there's still not been the repentance that there needs to be from pastors that led their congregation down this path by believing people at the top who are not Christians, believing Anthony Fauci, who is not a Christian, and who I believe is terrified of death, whereas Christians know that the Bible says, well, to die is to gain.
	We are commanded to meet.
	We're going to meet.
	If you're sick, stay home.
	Anyway, you know, it's a lot of frustrating things out there.
	And I guess, full disclosure, I mean, I haven't talked about this.
	It actually broke yesterday, but we're almost out of time.
	We are out of time.
	So what else do we have?
	Real quick, I'll finish my thought on that tomorrow.
	Yes, William Wolf, while Christians were telling each other politics is downstream of culture, the left was using politics to give taxpayer money to radical NGOs to change the culture.
	That was what I was trying to remember earlier when I said something similar to this.
	The cat's out of the bag, man.
	So many of these people were just liars.
	And now we're finding that out.
	We're now having the proof that money talks.
	So that's all the time that we have for this edition of the Millstone Report.
	I hate to have to go, but I do because I'm out of time.
	My name is Paul Harrell.
	Please follow me on X, at RealPaulHarrell.
	That's at RealPaulHarrell.
	And unless I'm providentially hindered, I'll be right back here on X-American News.
	And you follow X-American News over on X, broadcasting.
	We broadcast live every day at 11 Central.
	God bless everybody out there watching, and we'll see you soon.
