Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: 💥 Well, It Happened—Israel Bombed Iran | The Millstone Report

Text
Welcome to the show, folks.
Thank you so much for being with us.
Kind of a fluid situation here this afternoon.
It is now 12.02 Central Time here in the United States.
It's quite fascinating.
As I signed off yesterday, one of the things that I told you was that I really wanted to cover some of the happenings that have been going on this past week at the Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas.
Just a few things.
And I've had it on the list the last two days, kind of towards the back end of the things that I wanted to talk about.
And I literally closed out and I said, so we're going to open the show tomorrow with Southern Baptist Convention.
Unless something happens like, I don't know, Israel bombs Iran.
And that's exactly what happened.
Last night, I was hanging out with the family, and wouldn't you know it, Israel attacked Iran.
According to reports, their nuclear facilities, or at least one of them, also top commanders for the Iranians or Iranians, are now dead, apparently.
As a matter of fact, Donald Trump is saying...
The latest on this, just as I was browsing X just a second ago, is that the Israeli government is now claiming that Donald Trump was signaling peace.
Because he knew about the attack and was on board with it.
That's what the Israelis are now claiming, according to an Axios report, and I have a summary of that here in just a moment.
I don't know if that's true or not, but certainly if it is, you talk about tarnishing Donald Trump's peacetime presidency, that would certainly do it.
There's a lot of mixed feelings out there today, and we're going to try to go over all of them as many as they can.
Obviously, we also know that Iran is pledging that they're going to retaliate in some way.
What is facing our country here is a little bit of a perfect storm if you want another war with dead Americans in the Middle East.
If that's your goal.
Of course, it doesn't really have to be an Iranian sleeper sale.
It could be...
You know, remember when the Secret Service, at the very least, stood down, where President Trump got shot in the ear, and then they told us two weeks later that it was Iran?
Oh, it was an Iranian plot?
Or they said, no, there's another Iranian plot to assassinate Trump.
So maybe the first one was related.
Right, right.
Uh-huh, yeah, I'm not buying that, and I know you're not buying that either.
But the bottom line is we are now one more step closer to World War III.
There's no question about it.
A war between Russia, China, and the BRICS nations, including Iran, versus NATO and the United States and Israel.
I saw Jeff Younger tweet something about that.
It's more likely than ever that that's looking to be the case.
But the American people don't want war.
The American people didn't vote for war.
and there were negotiations with Iran that were supposed to take place this coming weekend.
And so right before that happens, and again, the reports are fluid because we just got this latest report that Trump participated in this in some way, even though the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, says the United States didn't participate in this military action at all.
But the initial reports were that there was peace.
And of course, we know, I mean, we're not stupid.
We know people like Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin don't want peace.
And so the idea that you would try...
So here's the whole premise, in my opinion.
You know, when you have a situation where you have this – It's not like the Iranian regime is some sort of paragon of morality or anything else.
We have no illusions with that.
America, from an American first standpoint, though, we're talking about what is actually threatening Americans, right?
But any time you try to offer an olive branch, right?
It serves to humanize the other side.
To humanize the other side.
And this is something, humanize the Iranians.
They are human beings.
And this is something that people like Lindsey Graham, people like Mark Levin, cannot tolerate.
They want to dehumanize the other side so that they can go to war.
So that there can be massive loss of life and nobody will care because they had it coming and everything else.
Same thing with Vladimir Putin, right?
When somebody's in my comments and they say that Putin is evil incarnate.
Evil incarnate!
That's a way to dehumanize people to where you can obliterate them, where you can destroy them without having to weigh the moral consequences.
So one of the reasons I voted for Trump was because I wanted peace.
I didn't want war.
And one of the main reasons, as evidence, that I thought that's what would happen is because back when, in his first term, There was a report that the Iranians had shot down one of our drones, an unmanned aerial vehicle.
And everybody got geared up.
You know, Lindsey Graham got all excited as he does.
And the reports were, hey, we're going to attack Iran.
We're going to attack one of their bases.
They shot down one of our drones, so we're going to attack one of their bases.
And the attack didn't happen.
Everybody wondered why, why, why.
Well, according to the reports, The reason that attack didn't happen is because the President of the United States, Donald Trump at that time, asked the question, if we respond and we attack this Iranian outpost, in response to them shooting down one of our unmanned drones, how many people are we going to kill?
How many Iranians are going to die?
And the estimates came back, I think about 500 Iranians were going to die in the attack.
And Donald Trump canceled the attack.
And he told the press, I just didn't think 500 lives versus an unmanned drone.
I didn't see how those balanced out.
I didn't see how it was worth it to take 500 souls off of the earth because of them shooting down one of our drones.
That was an incredible moment.
And again, one of the...
But we don't have to focus on that.
I'm just telling you.
all of that.
Peace is not profitable.
And that is a shame.
So let's actually dive in here and get some of these takes.
About this terrible, terrible situation.
Hang on one second.
I am unprepared.
There we go.
So Donald Trump posted on Truth Social.
Two months ago, I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to make a deal.
They should have done it.
Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn't get there.
Now they have perhaps a second chance.
Okay, so Donald Trump here seems to be intuiting.
That maybe even after this attack, of course, Iran is going to retaliate, I would imagine, that even after this attack, maybe there could still be some sort of peace deal reached.
We're going to be...
Derek Evans just posted this right before we came on the program.
Well, I saw it right before we came on the program, that according to Axios, President Trump was allegedly only pretending to oppose Israel's attack so they could surprise Iran.
Now, this is from the Israelis.
This is what the Israelis are saying this morning, or now this afternoon, that Israel wanted Iran to let their guard down so their target list wouldn't move to new locations.
Axios is reporting Netanyahu's aides even briefed Israeli reporters that Trump had to put the brakes on an Israeli strike on a call on Monday, when in reality the call dealt with coordination ahead of the attack.
And they said this all last night, too.
They said that the Israel press was telling their citizens that they did all of this with U.S. cooperation, which is diametrically opposed to what the United States government was saying last night via Marco Rubio.
And we'll get to that here in a minute.
I'm going to refresh my feed real quick.
Okay.
Nothing new there.
Enter Lindsey Graham, who thinks all of this is a game.
He says, people are wondering if Iran will attack American military personnel or interests throughout the region because of Israel's attack on Iran's leadership in nuclear facilities.
My answer is if they do, America should have an overwhelming response destroying all of Iran's oil refining, which that's what he's wanted for years, and oil infrastructure, putting the Ayatollah and his henchmen out of the oil business.
It's always about resources in the ground for this guy, whether it's Ukraine, Russia, or the Middle East.
It's always about that for him.
But you see what he's setting up here.
There has never been more of a time for a false flag attack being on high alert than ever before because this is about dragging the United States into war.
This is about Israel provoking Iran to basically obliterate American military bases, which would mean what?
Another war in the Middle East.
And it'll happen with the assumption, the media will put out there, that Iran is just like Iraq.
And at least from what I've read, that is not the case militarily.
There was some of the bombings there last night.
And then NBC, so Eric Daughtery claims that Iran has called President Trump.
Or is calling President Trump regarding the strikes?
That was this morning.
Now, I looked for this report, and I found one source saying that they were calling him.
Again, I'm reporting that because it's really just a hope, because I want peace.
John Harris writes, What I learned this morning from X. If we attack Iran, it's Israel's fault.
But if Israel attacks Iran, it's our fault.
These are some of the takes that are out there.
Here is the more lengthy statement from President Trump.
Posted on Truth Social early this morning at 5.56 a.m.
He writes, I gave Iran a chance.
I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal.
I told them in the strongest words to just do it.
But no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done.
I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the world.
By far, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come, and they know how to use it.
Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen.
They are all dead now, and it will only get worse.
There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end.
Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.
No more death.
No more destruction.
Just do it before it's too late.
God bless you all.
So President Trump's stance is, again, still one of saying I want peace, but it really is interesting.
And I'm going to choose to not believe the Israeli media reports for now.
There was...
What does that say about the relationship?
And I think Owen Schroyer spoke to this.
Maybe we have that video.
I think we will.
What does this say to the relationship?
Like if, in fact, Israel just went ahead and did this on their own and Donald Trump was...
There were scheduled peace talks to take place this Sunday.
What does that exactly say about the Israeli-American Here it is.
Yeah, I thought we had it.
I've got so many tabs pulled up today that I can't actually see what I'm clicking next, so that's why.
Ivan Raiklin, a.k.a.
the Deep State Marauder, take a short breath from the lobbyists slash grifters surrounding you, then listen closely to the following message and take notes.
So this is kind of a lengthy video, but this is what Owen Schorier posted last night, and I thought it was very interesting, an interesting take.
Let you hear some of it.
So Israel has officially struck Iran, and the world is responding.
Now I'm going to tell you everything that is at stake and everything that led up to this, at least in recent history, because obviously this history goes back decades.
And Netanyahu has been trying to get the U.S. involved in Iran since 1992, and he's been telling America That Iran has had a nuclear weapon since about 1995.
Now, has any of that been true?
He's had no evidence.
He's had no proof.
And yet, here we are.
Now, let me just start off with this.
And something happened that may determine whether this is true or not.
But I've always suspected that Israel and Iran play these war games with one another to keep their people in fear and in control.
Now, I'm not saying Israel and Iran get along.
I'm just saying they use the hatred and the fear and everything to keep their people in control and to keep this issue going so that they can use one another to stay in power, essentially, using it as their big political issue.
Now, it's being reported that Israel has killed in a targeted strike one of many, which they say is going to be going on for days, an Iranian military chief of staff.
Now, I wouldn't be surprised for one second.
That Iran would sacrifice its own for this war to just keep the thing going.
I've seen what the pundits on each side of this issue do and are willing to say and jump at anything to make the other side look bad.
So I've seen what the hatred does.
So it wouldn't surprise me if it's there at the political level as well.
Now before I get into the rest of the details, here's two things that I think are important for America to reflect on.
One, there's all these polls going around saying, do you support Israel or do you support Iran?
Well, what do you mean?
I'm an American.
What do you mean do I support Israel or Iran?
I support America.
What is this concept that somehow America has no sovereignty or no isolation from the issue?
We shouldn't have to pick.
It shouldn't be a binary choice.
It should be about America.
That's what it should be about.
Now, the other issue that might take a little longer to reflect on is, you know, America, the Trump movement, MAGA, however you want to say it, there's going to be a lot of soul-searching as these events go on.
This is true.
Because a lot of MAGA is anti-war.
I would say most of MAGA is anti-war.
Now, MAGA is kind of split on the Israel issue, but even the pro-Israel MAGA side is anti-war.
So how are we going to reflect on this?
What is our soul going to tell us if this war gets worse and if we get drug into another war in the Middle East?
So there's going to be a lot of soul-searching here, and what good is Make America Great Again?
If we can't even be isolated from this war-torn region of the world, if we can't even be isolated from these foreign countries and these foreign conflicts that are just filled with hate, we'll never be able to make America great again as long as we're entangled in the Middle East.
Now that right there, Owen Schroer from Infowars.
We're never going to be able to make America great again if we're always entangled in wars in the Middle East.
You know, for people my age, We've essentially, ever since I can remember, ever since I was kind of conscious of the idea of war.
So I was born in 84. I turned 41 this year.
So, you know, I'm six years old in 1990.
That's kind of, you know, six, seven, eight.
You kind of start to understand the concept of war as George H.W. Bush goes into the Gulf in Iraq.
The first time.
So for basically my entire life, my entire life, we have been at war in the Middle East.
The Afghanistan war lasted 20 years.
And so I think I can speak, for the most part, for a lot of people in my generation, we're sick of it.
We're sick of it.
We're sick of sending American soldiers over to the Middle East to die, and then we end up just making, with each regime change, we just make the region even more unstable because we have, as Donald Trump said at the, what did he say at the, whatever that event was, it was like a global event of some kind of all these leaders.
No, no, it was his speech in Saudi Arabia where he said, like, we were so arrogant.
To believe that dealing with these complex societies was somehow a technical step lower than our great American civilization.
And we ignored their cultures.
We ignored their way of life.
We ignored all of that thinking we can just force our way of life on them and it's ended in complete disaster.
It was a total rebuke.
By the way, like...
All of that stuff is like nails on a chalkboard to the neocons.
All of that stuff, for people like Benjamin Netanyahu that want the wars to continue and want the regime change to continue, the idea of saying that this is wrong and that the record of history is clear that it doesn't work is like silver to a vampire.
They don't like anyone saying these things.
especially the president of the United States.
And so it's almost like there is this challenge to just double down and make sure that a war starts, that America gets dragged into it, to completely destroy...
By the way, it would destroy any of his domestic achievements as well.
And it would absolutely tank his support and destroy this very fragile but also unique It is historic, regardless of whether you think it's great or whether you appreciate it but are also suspicious.
It's the truth.
Anyway, moving on to this next one.
Benny Johnson says, you see, President Trump told Fox News he knew about Israel strikes ahead of time and still wants negotiation talks with Iran.
I just spoke to President Trump.
One thing the president was aware of is it was of Israel's action before it happened.
He gave me a quote.
He said, Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb.
We're hoping to get back to the negotiating table.
So he's still saying that he wants peace again.
So this was the tweet.
Or this was the Truth Social post.
Right before Israel attacks Iran, Donald Trump writes, We remain committed to a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear deal or the Iran nuclear issue.
My entire administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran.
They could be a great country, but they first must completely give up hopes of obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Now, Posobiec brings up a good point here, where he says, the craziest thing about the Israeli strikes on Iran tonight is that earlier this week, CBS reported that Trump mass deportation program is supported by 54% of the American people, an absolute majority.
And now, do you think, I mean, just think about that.
54% support Donald Trump with this massive immigration issue, and now there's a lot of people that are upset.
There's a lot of people are upset with this situation.
Now, this was from last night.
U.S. told Israel it won't participate in an Israeli strike on Iran.
Patrick Howley.
Says, thanks, President Trump, go Trump, or thanks, Mr. President, go Trump.
Here is the address.
Owen Stroyer, in that video that we were just watching, said it was interesting that Netanyahu's speech was in English and asked why was his speech last night in English.
Because he's trying to talk to an American audience.
That's why.
And support for Israel going to war is...
So this was the report about the entire Iranian general staff being killed in one of the strikes.
And then back to Lindsey Graham.
So as the news broke 17 hours ago, Lindsey Graham, game on, pray for Israel.
Mark Lynch, his primary opponent, who's trying to retire Lindsey.
Says this guy thinks nuclear war is a game.
One more reason it's time to dump Lindsay in 2026.
I agree.
Owen Schoyer, game?
Talking to Lindsay?
Disgusting.
Pray for Israel?
Did they not strike first?
Are we anticipating Iran to defend itself like Israel did in Gaza?
Or does that logic not apply here?
But yes, pray for Israelis and people around the world that these bloodthirsty war mongers have just put in danger.
Sigh.
Yeah.
By the way, it would be interesting to go do a media exercise, like a juxtaposition, versus Russia.
So when Russia invaded Ukraine, all of the headlines were, Russia invades.
Russia's unprovoked.
That was the word.
Unprovoked.
Unprovoked.
Everything was unprovoked.
Headlines across the West.
An unprovoked attack.
An unprovoked attack.
Everything was unprovoked.
It'd be good to compare those two things.
Of course, it was provoked, by the way.
We all know that NATO is the one that provoked it, but you won't find those headlines in this instance because they'll say, well, no, it was a justified attack because of weapons of mass destruction.
The same playbook that's been in existence my entire life, weapons of mass destruction.
Are the reason why anybody can do a preemptive strike on a sovereign country and everyone just says, okay, I'm exhausted by it all.
So this was the take.
So with President Trump's comment, we remain committed to diplomatic peace right before Israel attacked Iran, clandestine, who follows this stuff pretty closely, was like, this is a significant post.
Sounds like diplomatic negotiations with Iran are back on.
No, they didn't.
No, they didn't.
In the midst of the attack, we got this statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Quote, President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners.
Let me be clear.
Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.
So again, Israel's action here, regardless of what you think about it, threatens to pull the United States into the war.
Because all Iran now has to do is target with their missiles one of our military bases, kill some American soldiers, and boom!
There will be calls from people like Lindsey Graham to put boots on the ground.
There will be calls to bomb their oil fields.
There will be calls to get regime change in Iran.
We've seen this playbook my entire life.
And here it is.
So there's that reaction there.
Yeah, so that's pretty much the end of the war coverage for the day.
It's a fluid situation.
People are going to brace.
But we've got to get ready for this weekend and what's about to happen.
But before we do that, I want to tell you about Red Vive Health and redvivehealth.org.

Updating you on a little bit more news, we have this.
I think this was predictable.
I think most people saw this coming.
A federal judge just ordered President Trump to give back National Guard control to California.
Donald Trump should ignore this.
He is something called, what's that phrase?
Oh yeah, the Commander-in-Chief.
But if that's not good enough, he could just invoke the Insurrection Act and that's statutory authority given to him by Congress.
He's going to need it with what's probably going to happen this weekend.
And we have the Democrats fanning the flames of color revolution, communist color revolution.
Here's a sheriff in Florida that is warning people that they will kill you.
He is warning people.
Watch.
So I'm going to break it down for you.
And if somebody wants to know what I mean by turn violent, this is what I mean.
If you resist lawful orders, you're going to jail.
Let me be very clear about that.
you block an intersection or roadway in Brevard County you are going to jail if you flee arrest If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County, gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave, in our county you're most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street.
If you spit on us, you're going to the hospital and in jail.
If you hit one of us...
If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at because we will kill you graveyard dead.
We're not going to play.
This has got to stop.
We will kill you graveyard dead.
This should be echoed.
Across every sheriff's jurisdiction in America.
That that is the standard.
Speaking of people who have...
Well, let's just tell you what you risk.
Here is an anti- This is Breaking 911.
Describes this guy in the hospital as an anti-American rioter.
I think that's a good phrase for these people.
Quote, Ice shot me in the nuts.
And now I'm losing a ball.
Surgery is tomorrow.
No, he's not having a ball.
He's losing one.
I shot me in the nuts.
And now I'm losing a ball.
Surgery is tomorrow.
Hello.
So there you go.
I'm assuming with one of those rubber bullets.
So, you know, protest, riot at your own risk, I guess.
But here's this.
This is what set everybody off.
So yesterday, during the press conference of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Democrat U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California was forcibly shoved and removed.
This is what it sounded like.
I have a question for the Secretary.
He refused to leave.
He pushes his way forward.
Hands off!
Okay, hands off.
They're still wrestling with him.
He's resisting.
And then they finally cuff him.
On the ground.
On the ground.
Hands behind your back.
Hands behind your back.
All right.
So, the Democrats now say, this has crossed such a line.
This has crossed such a line.
This is the red line.
Here is...
If you can make Alex Padilla forcibly kneel before this executive, when does it stop?
He's a United States senator.
And if you can force him to kneel to his knees violently, when does it stop?
What does it say to other Americans who want to speak up?
What does it say to other Americans that want to exercise their constitutional duty?
What does it say to other Americans this weekend when they want to peacefully protest?
What does it say to other Americans from humble backgrounds?
What does it say?
Clandestine writing here, I think his take is good.
It's clear what the Dems are up to with this Padilla thing.
They keep bringing up their No Kings protests this weekend.
They are trying to rile up the public and incite a nationwide insurrection.
We're witnessing a regime change operation.
I think that is 100% spot on.
The question, though, what does this do?
What does this mean?
This is a United States senator, and they're bowing before this administration.
They're forcing him to kneel before this administration.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Let's think about Donald Trump.
Well, first of all, let's think about the J6ers.
I think they know a thing or two about what it means to stand up, speak truth to power, and see what happens as they're given a guided tour of the Capitol and then called insurrectionists.
Then we can think about President Trump.
They literally raided his home.
Then they printed out top-secret...
Then the Secret Service, at the bare minimum, stood down while they let a guy brandish a rifle and a rangefinder all across the grounds in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Didn't secure the roof because it was a sloped roof.
And Donald Trump was shot in the ear.
He miraculously survived, but yet the Democrats now want to say there's a line that's been crossed because Senator Padilla, as I will call him, disrupted a press conference, also didn't have any kind of markings on him showing who he was, pushed his way through, and of course security is going to do their thing every single time.
Here is Senator Padilla telling his heartbreaking story on MSNBC.
Question.
How are you?
We all watched the video.
We saw you taken to the floor by those agents.
How are you doing?
Yeah, look, I'm OK.
I've been on the phone off and on with kids, right?
Because my kids were travels fast in this day and age with technology to make sure they're OK.
But I think most importantly is the outrage that I hope people feel if this can happen.
To a United States senator for having the audacity to ask a question of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the same questions and requests for information that we've had, not just the last sort of week or so of the activity in Los Angeles, but since the beginning of the administration.
Look at him, push his way through.
Yeah, we're a civil law society.
They didn't know he was a United States senator because he certainly wasn't acting like a United States senator.
Dan Bongino writing about this incident.
With regard to the incident in L.A. this afternoon, the senator in question was not wearing a security pin and physically resisted law enforcement when confronted.
Our FBI personnel acted completely appropriately while assisting Secret Service, and we are grateful for their professionalism and...
service.
Very much so.
And so...
But yesterday, and we covered this briefly, how disappointing it was that Donald Trump signaled that he was going to let his foot off the gas when it comes to ice raids of farms and hotels.
And we told you how disappointing that was.
He took a question on that after he made that post over on Truth Social.
Cernovich calls him Amnesty Don now.
So this is what Trump said yesterday, which was very concerning.
Why did you change your mind about targeting in California farmers and people in the hotel and leisure business?
Well, we're not targeting.
In fact, if you look today, I put out a statement today about farmers.
Our farmers are being hurt badly by...
They've worked for them for 20 years.
They're not citizens, but they've turned out to be, you know, great.
And we're going to have to do something about that.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have, maybe not.
And you know what's gonna happen and what is happening?
They get rid of some of the people,'cause you go into a farm and you look and people They end up hiring the people, the criminals that have come in, the murderers from prisons and everything else.
So we're going to have an order on that pretty soon, I think.
We can't do that to our farmers, and leisure too, hotels.
So there's so much there.
The idea that the business owner, by the way, would lose their illegal cheap labor supply and then immediately just feel like, well, I'm going to get some more illegals.
That's a whole other conversation, and we're not holding these businesses accountable.
Aaron McIntyre writing that Trump is echoing Reagan's greatest mistake here, and it would be a disaster that our...
country can't afford.
But here's the problem.
The left pick...
The left pick is an illegal who actually worked on a farm.
The right pick is of the American girl that he murdered.
Okay, so these illegals are already...
The idea that they're...
Anyway, it's absolutely insane and it's preposterous.
And so, later in the day, Donald Trump...
So, in an apparent flip, and then another flop, or a flip-flop, flip-flop, I don't know what you would call this, he released this statement shortly after he made those comments about what sounds like some sort of amnesty.
Biden let 21 million unvetted illegal aliens flood into the country from some of the most dangerous and dysfunctional nations on earth, many of them rapists, murderers, and terrorists.
This tsunami of illegals has destroyed America's public schools.
Hospitals, parks, community resources, and living conditions.
They have stolen American jobs, consumed billions of dollars in free welfare, and turned once idyllic communities like Springfield, Ohio, into third-world nightmares.
I campaigned on and received a historic mandate for the largest mass deportation program in American history.
Polling shows overwhelming public support for getting the illegals out, and that is exactly what we will do.
As Commander-in-Chief, I will always protect and defend the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol, whose work has already resulted in the most secure border in American history.
Anyone who assaults or attacks ICE or border agents will do hard jail time.
Those who are here illegally should either self-deport using the C-PRO, Saving America is not negotiable.
So, I mean, I think you at least, I mean, great.
Love the statement.
Think it's fantastic.
Mass deportations, that's exactly what we voted for.
But it does kind of feel like, respectfully, he's talking out of both sides of his mouth here.
So which is it?
We've got to stop this nonsense.
We've got to stop it.
The American people voted for it.
So I'm not really sure who gave Trump the advice on that.
Maybe that's his own idea.
I don't exactly know, but it is disturbing, to say the least.
So, finally, I'm at the end of my tabs.
We've got about ten minutes left in the show, which means we can shift gears here, and we can talk about the Southern Baptist Convention.
Before we do the Southern Baptist Convention, though, you're going to have to follow me here because I have a setup for this about what exactly the Southern Baptist Convention is trying to prevent.
Now, I'm not a Baptist.
Grew up Baptist.
No longer a Baptist.
Presbyterian.
But not the whole kind.
Sometimes you have to say that.
But we're going to kind of, I'm going to walk through...
We're going to start with a little exchange that took place between Scott Bessett and a crazed female congresswoman.
Scott Bessett is the Secretary of Treasury.
Here's the exchange.
Ma 'am, that's incorrect.
Excuse me.
Let me, let me, let me.
It's something straight with you first here.
I've seen you interrupt everyone.
When you come to someone's house, you respect their rules.
And in this house, we don't interrupt individuals.
And you're not going to interrupt my time.
I'm going to give you time to respond.
You may want to jot down some notes about things that you don't agree with me on so that you can respond to them at that time.
But while I'm speaking, as the person holding this time, You will refrain from speaking, sir, until I am done, until I am done, and then I will give you time to speak, okay?
I look forward to the facts.
Thank you.
Ma 'am, that's incorrect.
Excuse me.
So if mansplaining is a thing, that's got to be womansplaining, right?
Like, that's just – it just feels very much like – well, I mean – But you get the point with this exchange.
Female microaggressions.
Woman-splaining.
And it's just a key tenet of our gynocracy today, right?
So, that leads me to this.
Alexander Odom from Northside Baptist Church, earlier this week at the Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas, points out why something called the Law Amendment needs to be adopted with the Southern Baptist Convention.
For those of you that don't know...
It is an office for men.
But that hasn't stopped some SBC.
It should, or they should just leave.
It hasn't stopped some SBC churches from going ahead and calling Uh, some females as pastors, or even have them preach.
Now, this is a big, no, no, this is not, uh, it's not to be done.
And so, there's been a push the last two times to get something called the Law Amendment to pass, which provides even further clarity, uh, on this, and basically says, you know, and I, basically, what it's going to do is force these churches, these woke churches, that's what I'll call them, these woke churches, out, is what it'll eventually do.
So here is Alex Odom from Northside Baptist Church talking about why the law amendment is needed.
My name is Alexander Odom.
I am from Northside Baptist Church in North Fort Myers, Florida.
I rise to speak in favor of the proposed amendment.
Last year we were assured by opponents of the amendment that it was unnecessary because we already have what we need to deal with churches that employ female pastors.
All we need to do is let the Credentials Committee do their work and all will be well.
That reasoning was put to the test earlier this year when the Credentials Committee had to make a decision about a church in South Carolina with a female preaching pastor.
The committee found no reason to remove the church from friendly cooperation, even though the church had a female pastor.
Clearly, the Credentials Committee needed the guidance that this amendment provides.
A similar thing happened in 2022 at the Anaheim Convention with the Credentials Committee declined to remove Saddleback, even though they employed female preaching pastors as well.
The committee explained that they were unclear about what pastor means in our confession, and they proposed that we study the matter for another year.
Finally, a year later in New Orleans, the committee brought us a recommendation on Saddleback.
The year-long delay on Saddleback is a direct consequence of the Credentials Committee not having the clarity that this amendment provides.
This amendment doesn't give us a new process for credentials privileges.
changes.
Okay, so he makes a very good point.
Unfortunately, for the Southern Baptist Convention, The law amendment fails.
They needed 67%.
They needed two-thirds, and they only got 60%.
So they almost passed that thing, and there's a clear majority of the messengers of the Southern Baptists that want this to essentially keep, to stop this unbiblical phenomenon from happening in their denomination, but it failed.
It failed to get the 67% and just got over 60%.
So what exactly are they trying to prevent?
Well, I'll tell you what they're trying to prevent.
But before we do that, it's time for our reoccurring segment.
And let us confess our faith today in the words of the Sparkle Creed.
I believe in the non-binary God.
And now it's time for I'm Already Against Women Clergy.
You don't have to convince me.
So what the Southern Baptists are trying to prevent is something like this, courtesy of Protestia.
Here is a Trinity Lutheran Church of Manhattan pastor, or Pastrix, saying this.
I'll be the first to say it's not up to me to change the Bible, but I just did.
The reading you just heard was edited.
When I printed it out for our readers, I changed a few things.
For example, our readers read, they did not believe he had been blind and had received his sight.
But the Bible says the Jews did not believe.
The man's parents refused to answer some of the questions put to them because, quote, they were afraid, for it was already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
The Bible really says they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
I edited out the references to the Jews because without interpreting those references, we could get into big trouble, and not the good trouble kind.
These passages make it sound as if there are two groups at odds with each other, the Christians, So you can see the issue here.
I mean, if you're going to ignore the scripture about what it says for officers in the church, pastor, elder, deacon, being male, if you're going to ignore that, well, then we can just start to edit out little passages that go against our evolved 21st century sensibilities.
This is what...
Now, this may be like, I don't know, the zenith of the gynocracy in church and feminism, and there are certainly steps along the way that make it so maybe not the zenith, maybe the end descent.
But yeah, that is what, that is exactly what they are trying to avoid.
This has been I'm All Ready Against Women Clergy.
You don't have to convince me.
Now, we also have this update on the SBC.
So they failed.
Let me throw this up here.
We obviously don't have it up.
There we go.
They failed to abolish the ERLC, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the SBC failing to do that.
And this was certainly a loss.
The ERLC is woke.
William Wolfe writes, the ERLC's victory lap has begun.
No mention of the fact 43% of the messengers voted to abolish.
No apology for their divisiveness nor their liberalism.
If this is how they're going to play it, it won't be hard to get from 43% to 50% soon.
Another reaction, the ERLC's public response reveals the very problem many of us have been raising for years.
It's an organization that claims to represent the churches, but increasingly reflects Washington's culture more than the local church's convictions.
That's exactly right, and Megan Basham has gone all through why the ERLC is a woke organization that is actually making things worse in many regards and standing on issues that the people that sit in the pews of the denomination they purport to represent.
But that's not where I want to end things today.
I want to end things from the SBC in terms of our limited 10-minute coverage here of this issue.
I want to end with a pastor by the name of Tom Buck.
Tom Buck, according to Protestia, is trying in this clip to get the executive committee to look into the slander of somebody by the name of Mike Stone all the way back in 2021 and the refusal to release the video of it.
Apparently, there's video exonerating this guy, Mike Stone, of what he was accused of.
He's prohibited from giving any substantive details, but he does what he can, even if he's being hamstrung and limited.
So I want to throw this out there, because I want you to see how men without any chests and how the culture of something like a Washington, D.C. has infiltrated The way we talk, the way we think, and the way we act in public.
And it is all about a lack of transparency.
I'm not saying that that's the goal.
I'm saying that's what we're imitating.
The church and church organizations are now imitating the world to such a degree that they, and you're going to see exactly what I'm talking about, that transparency and censorship and being nice is valued more than the truth.
I'm sorry.
Censorship and being nice is valued more than the truth and transparency.
Let me show you what I mean.
Without you knowing really anything about this specific issue, you're going to watch this and red flags should go up all over.
Thank you, Mr. President.
So in 2021, Mike Stone, former chairman of the EC, was slandered.
Tom, again, we have to have no names.
Just for decorum and for our debate.
Apologize.
It's okay.
Former chairman of the EC was slandered in regard to an incident in the hallway of 2021 annual meeting.
We have some really narrow parameters, Tom, that we can't make assertions.
It's very narrow.
Okay.
Okay.
Tom, are you in favor of the motion for having the EC look into this?
Well, I certainly am, but the messengers need to know the substance of it to some degree or another.
I'm wanting to obey the rules as much as I can, obviously.
And I'm wanting to help you as much as I can, I promise.
I know.
Tell us why you want the EC to look into it.
Okay.
But be real nice about it.
LAUGHTER APPLAUSE Well, if anybody knows me, if I'm anything, it's nice.
Amen, Tom.
Well, let me see if I can do this on the fly.
First of all, this involves two things in my motion.
One is a video that is in possession, that was put on hold, asked to be held, that has evidence on it that would exonerate claims that have been made against the former EC chairman.
That video has been requested multiple times to be released.
The church of this pastor, who is the former EC chairman, has requested that video.
He's been told that it would be released, and it is yet to be released.
The second part of that claim involved issues with the Baptist press that quotes that were made.
That came out of the guidepost report and others that have now been shown or declared to this former chairman that those things are not true.
We need to have these things investigated to know whether what the truth is, whether this former chairman can be exonerated, or if he's done wrong, that that can be proven as well.
Let me say a couple of things since my time has run pretty quickly here, but this is not a minor issue.
The matter before us, without question, affected the leadership of this convention.
The accusations that were made back in 2021 made a difference in Nashville.
And it is serious, credible, easily documented answers to the things that have been said.
There is documented evidence that the leadership of Baptist Press and the Executive Committee have not given the correction that could be given for this.
This is the same flawed and failed mindset that led us to the grave injustice against a sexual abuse survivor and itself resulted in financial loss to this convention.
Now, many in this room have lamented the financial strain that's been mentioned just a moment ago.
Okay, brother.
I'm going to have to stop you right there.
How about this?
You have gone far enough.
We have the point.
Thank you.
So you see, be real nice about it.
We don't want to air those grievances in public at a forum that you're supposed to air your grievances in public.
I'm reminded of this quote.
I live in the managerial age, in a world of admin.
The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid dens of crime that Dickens loved to paint.
It is not done even in concentration camps and labor camps, in those we see its final result.
But it is conceived and ordered, moved, seconded, carried, admitted in clean-carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.
Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty state.

Go to church.
If you don't go to church, find a church that preaches the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his mighty ability to save sinners from their sins.
Do that.
And for those of you that do go to church, have a blessed Lord's Day.
