Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Why are WOKE Evangelicals for BLOOSHED & War?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show.
Thanks so much for being with us.
It's Monday.
Happy Monday to everybody out there.
I had a great weekend.
I hope everybody out there had a great weekend.
I hope yesterday you went to church.
I hope you had a blessed Lord's Day.
We've got a great show for you lined up.
As always, we've got...
A ton of stuff to get to.
I want to remind you, this portion of the program brought to you by Red Vive Health.
Red Vive, V-I-V-E, redvivehealth.org.
Paul will be telling you about the great, terrific red light panels, red light therapy that you can buy coming up later in the program.
Amazing stuff.
I just got finished listening to the Insurrection.
Incredible over on Ex-American News, by the way.
Great follow.
Really interesting stuff with the news about, you know, Kash Patel getting confirmed.
And now we've got Dan Bongino, who's coming in as the deputy director of the FBI. One of the points that was made that I think was excellent is that if these people don't go after...
People who are guilty, regardless of party affiliation, regardless of donor status.
It would look really bad if only Democrats are arrested, if that's even on the table.
Whether it's the Epstein list or the Diddy list or whatever, the Wiener laptop, it would look really bad.
Because, I mean, we know that the Uniparty has been in charge for a very long time.
And this affects both Republicans and Democrats.
And so wherever the evidence leads, that's where the charges should go, should follow.
And I think that's very important.
And it was actually Noel Fritch.
He was a guest host and guest co-hosting with Mike Lauber over at the insurrection.
And he said that if you actually go where the evidence leads, it will actually shore up Republican control of the government for much longer than, even if that means taking some people out, you know, judicially, of course, or with the Justice Department with charges.
Even if that means, you know, because the people will understand that you're rooting out corruption wherever you find it, not just on one side, we would be stupid to think that, oh, it's only the Democrats that are corrupt.
I mean, they are certainly corrupt, but we have our own issues too.
So we'll talk about that.
Before we go into Zelensky asking for U.S. troops on the ground, which is insane, Zelensky thinking that the money that we've given Ukraine, taxpayers have given Ukraine, is just a grant.
It's not an actual loan.
Before we get into all of that, and also why big, eva, woke evangelicals are all in on the bloodshed in Ukraine continuing, yes, it's because they're brainwashed, at the very least, but we'll talk about that.
Before we get into any of that, a funny post popped up.
You've got over at the chief pollster over at Rasmussen Reports.
Which, by the way, is getting incredible data that for the first time in a long time, or maybe ever, there's like 48% or 50%.
Half the country actually believes, according to polls, that we're moving in the right direction, which is incredible.
But anyway, so Mark Mitchell over at Rasmussen Reports, he likes to go over on Reddit sometimes.
And peruse what's going on.
Peruse the meltdowns.
The plight of your average federal employee who's just gotten the pink slip.
And this is kind of what he says.
Hottest post on our Fed News right now.
A few weeks in and resistance has taken a toll for this particular individual.
What did it?
The special rights and privileges they believe are due to them as a Fed are not being honored.
So over on Reddit, here's a poster.
This is their lamentation of being fired.
He says, I understand hold the line.
I understand resistance.
I understand the mental mind torture and bullying.
But I never anticipated this level of exhaustion.
And the fight hasn't even started.
It's so hard trying to explain, even to those you know, exactly what's going on.
For everyone mocking federal workers, including the president, they don't understand.
It's not the return to office or the firings, meaning being mandated to come back to work in person.
It's not the return to office or the firings.
It's a sick form of sadistic entertainment for them.
At least in the private sector, they walk in and fire you and you move on.
You cry a few days, you pick up the pieces.
Because there's nothing else you can do.
But because public servants have rights and protections.
By the way, public servants versus unelected bureaucrats.
I prefer...
Somebody wrote, we're watching with the public service, unelected bureaucrat...
It's kind of like the new, you used to say, illegal aliens, and then they changed it to illegal immigrants, and then they changed it to undocumented immigrants.
But he says, Which is kind of interesting to get into the mind of one of these unelected federal bureaucrats.
How billionaires manage to fool almost half the nation into thinking they're actually on their side will forever be beyond my comprehension.
So now the left is against billionaires again.
Both sides are for billionaires.
They just want their billionaire.
That's the truth.
Yet more baffling is how over 40 years they have managed to shape a narrative that is some lowly civil servants who are neighbors, relatives, friends, and spouses with the same everyday problems who are the enemy.
Not Congress, who appropriated the money and created the programs.
Not the corporations which control the politicians.
Not the billionaires.
But Joe next door, who is a park ranger and needs to work just like you because he has diabetes or some other ailment.
What?
That's out of left field.
And needs health insurance and a roof over his head.
They're convinced people like Joe, who's just like them, are the enemy.
The mental exhaustion of it all is overwhelming.
So they're these fired federal workers that are having to go back into work.
It's just mentally exhausting for them.
And I think now they kind of have a little bit of an understanding of what it was like for people during COVID when they lost their jobs because of the vax or they had to shut down their businesses and then lost their businesses subsequently.
Yeah, I mean, you know, CNN didn't care anything about that, but they certainly want to do all of the puff pieces they can about the plight of the fired federal worker.
But I will say this, I think What's really going on here that's good is there does need to be something said about the mentality of the American...
Well, I'll just say this.
When I was growing up, you'd hear in my household or when I was growing up, mom and dad, you'd hear of some relative or something or some acquaintance.
Oh, he got a job with the government.
And everybody was like, oh, really?
I think this is nationwide, right?
Oh, he did, did he?
You got a job with the government?
It was just like this, I don't know, it was just this acknowledged, like, well, that's a good gig.
You're in a nice gig.
You've got a job with the government.
Because it was just understood that you're going to have job security, you're going to have perks, you're going to have benefits, you're going to have a good retirement.
Even in the mid-level, you may not have an outrageous salary, but, I mean, you've got a job with the government, which means you're very difficult to fire, which means that you don't have to be productive the way you would be in a private sector job.
And there's something messed up about that.
And that's what I don't think these federal people get.
There's something really wrong with that.
And, I mean, you know...
To some extent, when George Washington calls government a necessary evil, maybe this is kind of part of the give and take, right?
That it's just naturally going to attract people that really enjoy that kind of security and maybe can't hack it in the private sector.
I don't know.
But it needs to be...
I mean, we're in the midst, again, of just these massive political realignments and upheavals, and this is one mentality that would be...
It would be awesome, right?
It would be good.
I mean, I think it may be a pipe dream, but, you know, like, could you reverse that?
Like, if somebody gets a job with the government, you're like, oh, wow, like, you've got to really toe the line if you want to keep your job.
Wouldn't that be something?
I think we'd all benefit from that, to have a government that, the parts of it that do need to exist, that it's actually efficient.
I don't know.
I saw this.
Is it the New York Times?
How federal employees are fighting back against Elon Musk?
Natalie Winter saying that unelected bureaucrats are setting up encrypted signal chats, Zoom calls, and Instagram accounts to share information and plan future actions on how to resist Trump.
Do you remember Millie Weaver?
I interviewed her last year.
Millie Weaver had an amazing bombshell report.
About what happened in the 2020 election and how all of these federal employees were having secret Zooms before the election.
And they were gaming out.
There was a bunch of intelligent assets also on the calls.
I think facilitating the calls.
And they were making a game plan as to what to do if Trump won in 2020. By the way...
It's ended up being a blessing that he didn't win in 2020 or that they stole it in 2020. It's actually becoming a blessing because we would not have the Trump that we have right now.
Anyway, but all these federal bureaucrats were scheming on if he does win in 2020, this is how we're not going to do what he says and this is how we're going to sabotage him.
And there are Zoom calls.
Millie Weaver has it.
Go look up Millie Weaver.
She's got it all.
We covered it on this show last year.
We had her on the program.
Millie Weaver's got it all.
It got the actual recorded Zoom calls of these discussions.
And it's treason.
I mean, it's absolutely treasonous, in my opinion, at least.
Okay, we've got to cover this because I got off the air and then I was listening to talk radio.
Maybe that was a mistake.
Anyway, that's where I first heard this.
We had the National Governors Association or whatever.
All of the governors were listening to Trump at the White House on Friday and then the governor of Maine got called out.
The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way.
That's good.
But I understand Maine.
Is Maine here?
The governor of Maine?
Are you not going to comply with it?
Well, we are the federal law.
Well, you better do it.
You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.
And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports.
So you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
Every state, good, I'll see you in court.
I look forward to that.
That should be a really easy one.
And enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics.
So, that was a perfectly targeted political strike.
Donald Trump there, I believe, knew exactly what he was doing, calling out the governor of Maine.
And now everybody is actually looking into the governor of Maine, a woman by the name of, well, woman.
A governor by the name of Janet Mills, who's now...
We've got her at the Portland Drag Show.
Here she is.
She's dancing.
Pretty nimble for an old person.
Janet Mills at a Portland Drag Show.
This looks just like her.
Wow.
Yeah, so that's been exposed.
This is what she looks like.
A lot of people have been looking, literally, they've been looking into Janet Mills.
They've been looking at photos of her, and many people have many questions about Janet Mills.
I mean...
Weirdly enough, Janet Mills, and I'm just going to say this because, I mean, it's just my opinion, but the late theologian and Pastor R.C. Sproul, I think there's a resemblance.
I think Janet Mills looks a little bit like R.C. Sproul.
And, you know, you've got all these questions surrounding Brigitte Macron over in France now.
Candace Owens reporting.
And the reporting is convincing.
That you've got people presenting themselves as the opposite sex.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm just telling you what the internets are saying, and it's pretty fascinating.
Okay, so Dan Bongino, now the deputy director.
Of the FBI. This was one of his last shows.
According to somebody named Big Fish, he says, we went back to watch Dan Bongino's last broadcast, and Adam Schiff is in hot water.
So the last broadcast of the Dan Bongino show, before he takes the gig as the deputy director of the FBI, this is what it sounded like.
Particularly good mood today.
If you only knew.
Have you heard that House on Fire song?
It's one of his old songs.
This guy's on fire, just like the baby.
House on fire.
He is on fire, Jeff.
100% success rate of failing.
Why is Adam Schiff so worried?
Folks, I strongly encourage you to go back and take another look today at the Russia collusion hoax.
I know it's a story that's old and a lot of people want to move on.
I'm going to be straight with you.
I don't want to move on.
We had the FBI, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, officials in Congress, foreign governments, and intel people, fabricate a story.
Invent a story that could have caused and done serious long-term harm to international relations with a nuclear-powered foe.
It's kind of a big freaking deal.
I'm not letting it go.
And you should...
Listen to me.
This is going to be very important in the coming days.
I'm not letting this go.
I want to find out what happened because it can never happen again.
Not to a Democrat, not to a Republican, not to a Libertarian, not to any United States citizen.
You do not get to alter or try to change the course of electoral politics by fabricating a story, hijacking the justice system then to give the patina of truth to a fake story.
You don't get to do that.
Why do I bring that up now?
Because who is the ringmaster of that circus?
Yes, Adam Schiff.
Adam Schiff, certainly.
And now he's a senator, and Cash Patel was on several podcasts saying things like, Adam Schiff is the greatest American political criminal in the last 250 years.
I mean, that would be of all time.
Is that what he said?
Was it 250?
Anyway, it's...
It's kind of wild.
I mean, out of everything we've gone through, there's a lot of stuff for the FBI to probe, but the Russia collusion hoax.
And it's not just the...
I mean, it's the whole...
I mean, they framed President...
They spied on President Trump, and then they framed him for treason a couple of times.
And Schiff was a part of that.
I mean, I remember back...
So I was on the radio back when this was going on.
In the height of it, you know, 2018, 2019. And I would interview Congressman Rick Crawford, actually, who is now the chair of the House, the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
He was on that committee back then, and we were talking about, this was back when Devin Nunes was the chair.
Devin Nunes was contradicting the things that Schiff was saying.
Schiff was going on TV and lying constantly about Trump.
You know, Bongino's obviously covered it a lot more than anybody else, but there's a lot of threads to start pulling there.
And so there's just so much corruption, though, right?
I mean, that is such a mess.
And then you've got a lot of other things, right?
Like the Epstein stuff and everything else.
I don't know.
I am...
I'm not going to blackpill.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
At the same time, you never know.
This could all end up being a limited hangout, and we don't actually get to the bottom of this stuff.
But like I said earlier, the thing about this is you've got to go wherever the evidence leads.
And so if you're going through this...
And you're going to prosecute.
If it leads to Republicans or if it leads to Republican donors or anything else, you've got to go after both Democrats and Republicans here.
I'm just telling you, there's plenty of corruption in the uniparty on both sides.
And that actually, I mean, if you can correct those problems, if you can make examples out of those people, the country will stay freer for a longer period of time.
Especially, man, I'm telling you my Friday show about Trump actually potentially getting rid of the IRS. Still can't believe it.
I just want to reiterate, if Donald Trump gets rid of the IRS, it will be the greatest transfer of freedom from the government back to the people in American history.
All right, now let's move on to Zelensky.
The question that I have here, why is woke Big Eva all in on war?
This is the question I'm going to ask, and I'm going to try to answer it today.
I stumbled upon a few things.
Now, first up, we have this whole narrative here.
Zelensky, over the weekend, says that he wants U.S. troops on the ground.
You hear him say that again.
My logic was as follows.
If you think that an economic agreement is part of a security guarantee, then why can't you have your boots on the ground where your business interests are present?
So this has been uniformly rejected.
We had Mike Witkoff on Fox earlier today saying this is totally off the table.
But then you also have Zelensky who wants who are who's out there saying he wants NATO membership and he's willing to resign for NATO membership.
And he also but he also is saying, look, Derek Evans reminds Zelensky says the billions of dollars the U.S. sent to Ukraine was was a grant, not a debt.
He says, I'm not going to recognize the 500, no matter what anyone says, no matter how we communicate.
with all due respect.
I'm standing firm because this is a true situation.
We're absolutely right.
Even the 100 billion...
We should not recognize grants as debts.
The man is literally delusional.
We are not going to recognize this as a debt we owe the United States.
And this guy still has the nerve to ask for U.S. troops on the ground and NATO membership.
Now, this is all going on.
Again, why is woke Big Eva all in on war?
I'm talking about the folks like, you know, Mike Kosperev.
We're at Christianity Today.
Here's Clayton Morris from Redacted with a disturbing report about what's actually going on in the meat grinder that is the war on Ukraine.
Ukrainian moms are mad as hell.
Ukrainian moms are going to conscription offices and raising hell about their sons being dragged off to war.
That's one thing.
But they are fed up and they want answers as to who's been harvesting the organs of their sons and their husbands.
Who died on the battlefield after they were conscripted and thrown into the meat grinder?
When they received their bodies, there were surgical marks and surgical removal of their organs.
Oh, my God.
Sold off on the black market.
We write, we hide, the information is deleted.
Pizza.
We will make a poster for all of Keeve.
So they're getting their bodies back.
They're getting the bodies back of their loved ones and their organs are missing.
Unbelievable.
Colonel Douglas McGregor is now, who was, and we highlighted these tweets weeks ago where he's saying Trump needs to get better intel.
He's not getting better intel on the wars in Ukraine.
And he says that's changed now.
Douglas McGregor, Colonel McGregor, who we interviewed last year, says Trump is finally receiving proper intel on Ukraine when, given the truth, he acted swiftly, meaning Zelensky's a dictator.
That's what he said.
And that's what got all these big evil people.
Clutching their pearls.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Putin, bad.
Putin, the greatest threat.
Putin, evil.
The focus of all evil in the world.
Somebody on X said that he told me that I was buying Kremlin propaganda because I don't think Ukraine can win.
And I was buying Kremlin propaganda and that Putin was evil incarnate.
Quote, evil incarnate.
You understand what he's saying?
He's saying that Putin is Satan.
Which is so ridiculous.
But in the world of black and white, where people want things to be black, don't get me wrong, I want things to be black and white.
In a black and white world, things are really, really easy, right?
I got news for you.
The only thing that's black and white is Jesus Christ rule and reign and authority over heaven and earth.
The only thing that's black and white is at the end, you're either a sheep or a goat.
The gospel is black and white.
But in the meantime, as we are down here battling our own flesh, battling sin, battling the schemes of the devil, things are not quite that black and white sometimes.
So, Clandestine says this.
You might see reports, by the way, Clandestine, instrumental in exposing the bioweapons labs that were infected in Ukraine.
It was called a conspiracy theory.
He was banned.
Then Marco Rubio and Victoria Nuland in an open Senate confirmation hearing admitted, yes, in fact, there are bioweapons labs in Ukraine funded by the U.S. government.
I digress.
He writes, Trump and Putin have already decided Zelensky's fate, he writes, and if he refuses the flow of money and ammunition, if he refuses, the flow of money and ammunition is shut off.
Ukraine will collapse rapidly as the front lines are already deteriorating consistently, and Putin will take all of Ukraine.
Anyways.
Zelensky has no leverage whatsoever.
He is putting on a show to make it seem like he is fighting for Ukraine at the negotiating table, but in reality, Zelensky's fate is already sealed.
But it's working, though.
The theater is working because you have all of these European leaders flocking into Kiev, either today or yesterday or in the coming days.
While you've got the French President Macron going to the White House, you've got the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer begging for a meeting with Trump.
In the backdrop of all of this geopolitically, J.D. Vance exposes that European values are not American values.
That we're supposed to protect Europe.
They're wanting U.S. boots on the ground.
They're wanting all of this, and they're arresting people for social media posts in Germany.
They're arresting old women for silently praying outside of abortion clinics because they have prayer zones.
They have non-prayer zones, even if you're silently praying.
Okay, so the principles or the ideas of Europe where you have a freedom of conscience, generally speaking, freedom of conscience, Europe has betrayed that.
Europe is acting like a godless communist Soviet institution.
NATO was created to protect Christian Europe from the godless communist Soviets.
Who are the godless communist Soviets now?
Who is acting like a totalitarian regime?
Now, that's not to say that I know everything that goes on in Russia, but what I'm saying is Europe is imitating East Berlin.
Europe is imitating the 1980s Red Dawn Rocky IV stereotypes that is actually being used to make us think that Putin is evil incarnate today.
In the meantime, a million and a half Ukrainians and Russians have destroyed each other.
And the U.S. has been treating it like a puppet.
We're treating Ukrainian life.
This is why I don't understand why woke evangelicals, even though I know they're woke, but you would think that their wokeness would at least have some sort of self-reflection.
Like, wait a second, as a Christian, I may be woke, but death is wrong, war is wrong, peace is good.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, the brainwashing and propaganda has worked very well, as we're going to see here in just a moment.
So, this is what I'm talking about.
We have this piece from Pete Hegseth that Christianity Today's Mike Cosper takes issue with.
Listen.
He should come to the table because this economic partnership is an important thing for the future of his country, and we hope that he will very soon.
But, fair to say, Russia attacked unprovoked.
Into Ukraine three years ago tomorrow.
That's not true.
Fair to say it's a very complicated situation.
Okay, well...
That's exactly right.
Fair to say it's a very...
So Pete Hexeth refuses.
He refuses to say Russia attacked unprovoked.
Shame on Shannon Bream.
Shame on her.
Or Beam, or whatever her name is.
Mike Cosper.
Christianity today.
Russia's unprovoked invasion isn't that complicated.
Don't take your military across someone else's borders to slaughter, pillage, and rape a native population.
But the truth of the matter is Russia was provoked.
NATO and the West had been arming the Ukrainian forces.
Since 2014, and there was an ethnic cleansing genocide in the Donbass region and these provinces of eastern Ukraine, and nobody in America, virtually no one in America knows about it.
They don't know that there literally was killing, the Ukrainians were killing their own people in eastern Ukraine because they were ethnic Russians.
And this has been going on for 10 years.
Thousands and thousands of people have been murdered in those areas.
Now, we don't know about it because the Western media is corrupt and Putin bad.
But that makes it a lot more complicated.
So Hegseth is right here.
Not to mention, you have the fact that Biden comes out and says, well, yeah, Ukraine can join NATO. And so it's just all these countries keep joining NATO, and Putin has said for decades, this is a red line.
And you want to know how I know that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was not unprovoked?
It's because when they invaded, every Western media outlet, every MI6-controlled media outlet, they said Russia invaded unprovoked.
And the word unprovoked was used in almost every headline for the next seven days.
This fact alone means that they were, in fact, provoked.
Because you take what the media says and you just believe the opposite, and 90% of the time, you're actually correct.
So I'm going to answer this question here in a minute.
Why is woke Big Eva?
All in for war, but we're half an hour into the show, and I'm going to tell you about Red Vive Health right now.
RedViveHealth.org slash Paul, and you can experience the healing power of light.
Red Vive devices emit a red and near-infrared light designed to reduce muscle and joint inflammation.
And this is key because other red light panels will just give you the red light.
They won't give you the near-infrared light.
These two wavelengths are going to help with your muscles, your joint inflammation, pain.
They stimulate cellular energy.
They speed up recovery.
If you're somebody who works out, which I'm back on my regimen now, and this panel is actually really good, by the way.
I've noticed a huge difference in being able to work out the next day after you sit and get some red light therapy.
Boost skin collagen, strengthen your body, and boost your mood.
The mood boost is true.
Because of the energy you get.
I mean, if you have energy, you feel good.
You've got a better mood.
So, again, red light and near-infrared light.
That's really the test of a quality red light panel.
We're talking two different wavelengths.
These wavelengths are naturally emitted by the sun, but these panels give it to you in targeted doses.
So the first wave, they have a healing effect on the body.
Red light, that's absorbed through the skin.
And that leads to the enhanced skin health, anti-aging properties, that sort of thing.
And then the second wavelength is the near-infrared light, which penetrates deeper into the body, which reaches your bones, muscles, tissues, and organs.
And it really, like, it stimulates your cells, or it stimulates your body at the cellular levels, is what I'm trying to say.
You're going to look better.
You're going to feel better.
You're going to support the Millstone Report.
Redvivehealth.org.
You see it right there.
Redvivehealth.org.
Go there.
Research for yourself.
And they also have 0% interest financing.
0% interest financing is available.
RedViveHealth.org slash Paul.
Light for healing.
Hope for tomorrow.
Alright, back to this.
Why is Woke Big Eva all in on war?
That's a great question.
William Wolfe asked the question, the Center for Baptist Leadership, the head, William Wolfe, why are people like Russell Moore, David French, Mike Cosper, etc., so violently and myopically the biggest Zelensky Ukraine cheerleaders?
I have a theory.
Here's why I think Kamala Harris voting Christian neocons make defending Ukraine an article of faith.
They know deep down.
They are traitors and cowards when it comes to domestic politics.
They know they affirmatively voted for the closest thing to a Putin we could have seen in the West in recent memory when they voted for Harris.
And, of course, the Democrats are even worse than Putin in certain ways with their rabid support for abortion and transgenderism.
That's right.
Putin passed a law in 2013 banning LGBTQRSTLNE. Would you like to buy a vowel propaganda in his country?
He says, so to quiet their screaming consciences, he says they act like heroes for the freedoms and rights of Ukrainians or whatever international conflict is in vogue at the time.
They know they have no moral authority here, so they try to glom onto an external cause to find a place to feel virtuous and signal moral superiority.
It's pure protection.
They would, in an instant, do to their fellow American citizens via Democrat Party-controlled politics at home what they decry Russia is doing to Ukraine abroad.
Don't fall for it.
Ooh, this last one is just...
It chills my bones to think about.
Because you see, men like Russell Moore, David French, and Mike Cosper have made a career out of sanitizing American regime rhetoric and anti-Christian bias and anti-white bias.
They have made a career out of sanitizing what the government does to get Christians to do nothing.
And they would be continuing in this.
If Kamala Harris had won and Christian persecution would have increased, and it would have, they would have continued to sanitize what they were doing to us.
And, man, that's really, really bone-chilling to think about it.
They would in an instant do to their fellow American citizens via Democrat Party-controlled politics at home what they decry Russia is doing to Ukraine abroad.
They would even blame fundamentalists.
Well, if the Christians weren't so fundamentalist, they wouldn't have these problems.
If they would just bow down, a la Daniel chapter 3, then they wouldn't have any problems.
Anyway, just my two cents.
Here's Mike Cosper.
Again, Russia's unprovoked invasion.
Isn't that complicated?
And here's John Harris saying, actually, it is complicated.
You have historical and geopolitical context.
You have regional conflicts and unresolved tensions.
Again, the war in Donbass ongoing since 2014. Ten years on Russia's doorstep.
They've been watching.
Ethnic Russians living in eastern Ukraine being slaughtered.
You've got NATO expansion.
You've got U.S. involvement in foreign aid.
The United States has provided significant military and financial aid to Ukraine.
Corruption and dysfunction in Ukraine.
Neo-Nazi elements.
Both sides accuse each other of Nazi affiliations.
Cultural and ideological clash.
Media narratives.
Misinformation.
You've got globalism versus nationalism.
Are borders racist?
Economic interest.
China's role.
Lack of clear resolution.
Anyone who says that it's simple, like Christianity Today's Mike Cosper, is actually, they're just missing the mark totally.
By the way, here's a nice little clip of Maidan Square.
Here's John McCain, the late John McCain, filming the protest.
This was a color revolution backed by the CIA alongside Jeffrey Pratt, or Pyatt.
U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine with Victoria Nuland standing by, all enjoying their role in overthrowing the democratically elected government of Ukraine.
There are receipts for this, and people like Shannon Bream over at Fox News, they're still trying to get Pete Hegseth to bow down and say, oh yeah, it was unprovoked.
It was unprovoked.
Do you agree?
No, actually, it's a very complicated situation.
By the way, all these media people, by sticking to their narrative and trying to get this loyalty test to Trump officials, they're actually trying to, by doing this, they're trying to torpedo the peacemaking process, by the way.
It's pretty sick stuff.
And here is a real...
This really explains the question I'm asking today on the show.
Why is woke Big Eva all in on war?
Explaining the evangelical bloodlust for Ukraine, J.D. Hall, who has a fantastic substat called Insight to Insight, he says, if it seems odd that leftist religious figures are demanding a higher body count of war dead, consider Solomon's truth.
Money answereth all things.
Yikes.
Now, this is an extensive article, and we may not get through all of it, but here goes.
J.D. Hall writes, There are a few things I know about leftist evangelicals.
The first is that they really like Starbucks and MacBooks.
The second is that they are on a constant quest to be liked by people who don't like Jesus.
And third...
It's that there's hardly a mainstream media talking point that they won't immediately adopt in lieu of having an actual conscience of their own.
And it's this third observation that's likely the best explanation.
So you have William Wolfe's hypothesis.
Then you have this hypothesis.
And it may be a little bit of both.
It's this third observation, J.D. Hall writes, that's likely the best explanation for their adopting of the positions on cultural or political issues that they adopt.
Whether it's the supposed necessity of vaccinating folks against a mild respiratory virus, the efficacy of masks, the health benefits of fluoride in the water supply, or why USAID is necessary to supply funding for minority midget fashion shows in Morocco, whatever Anderson Cooper's perspective is, These woke leftist evangelicals, it seems to become their own.
They adopt this immediately as their own.
But when it comes to matters like life or death, one would think that their evangelical conscience would kick in.
And they might be inclined to put important issues like war through the sieve of Christian ethics and see what comes out the other side.
Surely the same bleeding hearts that can't be brought to enforce immigration law lest someone drown crossing the Rio Grande would be slow to endorse a blank check for endless bloodshed in a theater of a foreign war.
But just when you think you have the evangelical lefties figured out, he writes, you figure out you don't.
They're complicated, but...
And making sense of where they land on important societal issues is like trying to make sense of a schizophrenic person imaginary friend list.
He says it's hard sometimes.
He says, Seriously,
it's incredible how there's so many people that on the right, they don't believe there's independent media.
They don't believe what the mainstream media says, but they don't necessarily believe what the independent media says either.
There's critical thinking skills engaged on a daily basis.
The right is really the only, is where there's an actual argument to be made.
Look, within the Republican Party, it's not uniform.
It's a coalition of ideas, and it's the only place where there's an actual debate to be had these days.
But then you get the Democrats, and it's just lockstep, man.
And it's like, if the media says it, great.
The leftists used to be skeptical of the FBI, like the James Comeys, and now they believed everything that the Biden-FBI said, and now, oh, we don't trust the FBI anymore, because now Trump's in control.
When they loved the FBI, when Comey was in control, under Trump.
He says, in actuality, it's quite a bit more complicated than that.
Let me explain where the evangelical left-wing support for endless war is coming from.
I think this is such a comprehensive answer.
The first part is about the post-war consensus, and he says I'm going to summarize briefly.
And this is really good, and you need to read it.
We don't have time to read all of it.
But this is what, this is the, if you read the last paragraph, it really sums it up.
The post-war consensus, meaning World War II or even the Cold War.
The post-war consensus doctrine of using war to bring peace has undergirded support for the industrial war complex, which Dwight Eisenhower warned us about.
And this war complex needs to be constantly fed with one subsequent war planned before the previous war even ends.
You can hear this in the words of war hawks like Senator Lindsey Graham, who keep actual lists of nations we have to check off of our war list, like he were grocery shopping.
J.D. Hall goes on, We're all fought under the belief such wars are necessary to keep our enemies in check, just in case we want to fight them one day.
In the meantime, by the way, the left used to be anti-war when Bush was in charge, but not anymore.
In the meantime, they enrich the industrial war complex that donates billions of America's politicians and greases their hands under the table.
So the other reason why Big Eva is all in on war...
Is Russia as the bugbear?
As Orwell pointed out in 1984, government needs citizens to fear an enemy in order to keep them in check.
Citizens will not so easily surrender their liberties and are less than eager to increase the power and scope of government unless the government is needed to keep them safe.
And if no enemy currently exists, they'll just create a virus.
I'm sorry, he didn't write that.
I said that was me.
That part was me.
And if no enemy currently exists, they'll find one that will do.
Ralph Baric.
Ralph Baric.
Look up Ralph Baric.
After the Cold War, the world became one unilateral power held by the United States.
One would have thought that NATO, which was created to contain the Soviet threat, would have disbanded after the...
There ceased to be a Soviet Union.
But not only did NATO remain, it continued to grow in power and size, adding nations to its war party and extending its promise of mutual defense to allies.
Okay, skipping down.
There's an ethnic cleansing problem.
In order to justify sending hundreds of billions of U.S. tax dollars to Ukraine, Which would in turn send back to American politicians as campaign donations through FTX. Remember FTX? This is why Ukraine is a money laundering depot.
And this is just the cryptocurrency scam that we know of.
Americans needed to be on board.
And despite the peer pressure propaganda to put Ukrainian flags in our Twitter bios, that wouldn't be enough to really garner the support of the U.S. citizens.
The problem with convincing Americans that the conflict in Ukraine was a black and white matter is that Zelensky's rule in Ukraine was no less draconian than Putin's rule in Russia, determining who was the good guy, who was the bad guy.
Hard work.
So Zelensky, for example, had been imprisoning journalists for years.
He had engaged in the previously mentioned ethnic cleansing against those of Russian descent in eastern Ukraine.
Zelensky had most tragically imprisoned, tortured, beaten, and killed priests and clergymen of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
With this in mind, it was going to be exceedingly hard to convince Americans of a Putin-equals-bad, Zelensky-equals-good narrative.
His persecution of professing Christians...
And he writes, yes, I realize they're technically not by Protestant standards, was terrible optics.
But what would be the solution to this?
The first solution for the Warhawks was to amp up the arrest and persecution of journalists, which Zelensky did.
But the second was to install fake media outlets churning our war propaganda who would help cover up their crimes against the Christian faith.
And there you have it right there.
USAID spending all the AstroTurf media that you possibly could need.
With the new media apparatus in place, now serving as public relations organization to influence America to airdrop cash to Ukraine, there was only one important piece of propaganda left to orchestrate covering up the persecution of Christians.
So Zelensky signed a bill, 8374, criminalizing the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Propaganda outlets refer to it as the Russian Orthodox Church, but this is a church of which 71% of all Ukrainians are members.
Zelensky then authorized his government to confiscate more than 1,500 church houses and exile Orthodox priests.
Those who refused were beaten and imprisoned.
Keep in mind, this is classified as ethnic cleansing by the international community, and when it happens in wartime, it's classified as a war crime.
So Zelensky wouldn't be accused of banning Christianity.
The U.S. State Department then facilitated the creation and funded a state-sponsored religion in Ukraine, similar to state-sponsored religions in totalitarian regimes like China.
They created the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
I know.
It's insane and corrupt.
And this is why, leading up to, why is Woke Big Eva all in for war?
Well, let's talk about evangelicals.
He says there's a tiny evangelical minority in Ukraine, and it was able to maintain distance from Zelensky's persecution of the Orthodox believers, primarily because they aren't Orthodox.
Early on in Ukraine, the conflict, Zelensky and the Ukrainian propaganda outlets funded by USAID saw the evangelicals in Ukraine Like they're missionaries in Ukraine.
Americans want that, right?
They want to plant Protestant churches in Ukraine.
Ukraine's evangelical community...
Though a minority of 2-3% of the population, about a million people, is vibrant and it's well-connected to Western, especially American evangelicals.
Ukraine has been called Eastern Europe's Bible Belt, with a strong Protestant presence, including the large Baptist community in the region, tied to groups like the Southern Baptist Convention.
I think here the picture starts to become clear.
Ukrainian evangelicals actively lobbied their American counterparts to frame the war as a fight for faith.
Leaders like Yaroslav Piz of the Ukrainian Baptist Theological Seminary and Igor Bendura of the Ukrainian Baptist Union travel to the U.S. speaking at churches, Christian colleges, and events like the SBC Annual Meeting.
American evangelicals wield swift political influence, especially within the Republican Party, where they form a key voting bloc.
Evangelical leaders Brent Leatherwood of the SBC's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, Stephen Moore of the Ukraine Freedom Project flooded Christian media, Christianity Today, Mike Cosper, Russell Moore, the Baptist Press, with stories of Russian persecution and shifting sentiment.
So the actual persecution that was going on under Zelensky was ignored.
And then they made up other persecution.
They made up persecution that Russia was the one that was really doing the persecuting.
Never mind that the people who actually live in Ukraine need to have their story told.
We're not going to tell that story.
So when Congress debated a $61 billion aid package, evangelicals were pivotal in swaying House Speaker Mike Johnson, an evangelical himself, to support it, overcoming MAGA resistance.
This worked.
Polls from Razom showed 70% of evangelicals favored aid after learning of Russia's actions against Ukrainian Christians, with 63% of the GOP primary voters agreeing.
Meaning, the degree with which American evangelicals have been propagandized, I think we are understating it even right now.
He says all of this is only plausible because Zelensky's persecution of the Orthodox has been kept quiet by U.S.-funded propaganda outlets and Zelensky's banning of legitimate media operation within the country.
You think about Gonzalo Lira, who was an independent media outlet in Ukraine, an American citizen, and he died in a Ukrainian jail cell.
He was arrested by the Zelensky regime.
Almost all of the connections between Ukrainian evangelicals and American evangelicals has gone through the World Evangelical Alliance.
The WEA claims to represent over 600 million evangelicals across 143 countries.
Though this figure reflects the aggregate membership of its affiliates, not direct adherence, it operates as an umbrella.
Then you also have the National Association of Evangelicals.
So in case you aren't familiar with the...
Just take my word for it.
it's basically the antichrist so he says the international council of christian churches call the wea apostate for ecumenical ties with catholics or mainline protestants critics also claim that it's funding mostly donations no centralized budget is public raises transparency queries and that it's funded deeply by globalist dark money tied to the cia and the u.s state department again i told you the article was extensive the Then we get to useful idiots.
Some evangelical leaders, like Schiermarker, are indeed in the pockets of globalist organizations and the international power structure committed the post-war consensus doctrine of endless war.
They're committed to that.
But others, particularly down the rungs of the ladder, are likely just useful idiots, a term referring to those who are unwilling accomplices thanks to their diet of propaganda.
Many evangelical leaders in America have been inundated with the propaganda coming out of Ukraine and the propaganda they've been subjected to in their denomination, like Southern Baptists having been fed a steady war hawk diet of endless bloodshed by the ERLC's Brent Leatherwood.
Some, like Leatherwood himself or Ed Stetzer and Dr. Russell Moore, they like In either event, he writes, J.D. Hall writes, Think about that.
Putin has now caught on to their role in fetching billions of dollars of U.S. tax money to support the Zelensky regime in Ukraine, and this is actually putting the evangelicals on the ground in Ukraine.
In harm's way.
And this also explains, by the way, why it is impossible, for the most part, impossible to plant a church plant inside of Russia, by the way.
I've said this for a long time.
Putin's going to get intelligence reports on all kinds of things.
And if he sees the soft evangelicals, the woke evangelicals, how they're making excuses like...
Clergy are making excuses for transgenderism, or clergy are making excuses for being gay.
Oh, well, I'm trying to rewrite what the Bible says about lust.
Well, I'm gay, but I won't act on it, I promise.
Let me preach to your congregation, the side B theology.
If you're Putin and you see what is going on in...
In American Protestant circles, in the debates that we're having, while our society is literally sliding off a cliff, why would you ever want to let a missionary inside of Russia to plant any sort of Protestant church?
You wouldn't.
You would look and you would see the social issues that the church today in America, in many instances, not all, I mean, there are good denominations, there are good churches, they're standing up.
But then you have this leftist creep and influence, and there's, in many cases, failure after failure after failure, and I'm about to show you one, but we're out of time for the day.
Like, if that's what you see, and you've got your Russian Orthodox Church, you're never going to let people in your country to do that.
It's insane.
It's absolutely insane.
So...
J.D. Hall says, It's certainly odd that left-wing evangelicals who insist that issues like abortion and homosexuality require nuance are so insistent that global conflict is so morally black and white.
And then he writes, If you want to understand why, consider Ecclesiastes 10, verse 19. Money answereth all things.
