Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Trump Gives Iran Two Weeks | Focus on the Family Excuses Sin?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show.
I wish you could have seen what just happened.
It was quite incredible.
I mean, you know, I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm going to anyway.
So, literally, sometimes you just forget to do things in the pre-production phase of the program.
I'm a little out of breath.
And the reason I am...
Got everything going the way the broadcast should go.
And then I looked up at the screen and I realized that the shirt that I was wearing, for whatever reason, didn't think it would be a problem.
Had patterns of pink and blue and purple.
But there was a color on that shirt that apparently the old green screen behind me wasn't a fan of.
And so I looked like Marty McFly in that scene in Back to the Future where he...
So I had a minute.
I was like, do I have time?
Should I just not even, should I just go?
Because you, anyway, so I got up and, um, Welcome to the program.
Happy Friday, everybody.
We really do appreciate you being with us.
Let's start things off by reminding everyone out there, this portion of the broadcast is brought to you by Red Vive and the great folks over at redvivehealth.org.
That's redvivehealth.org.
Paul will tell you more about the life-saving benefits, I believe, life-enhancing for sure, benefits of red light therapy a little bit later in the show.
But let's start with the news, shall we?
I mean, pretty big news.
Got off the air yesterday.
And, you know, I say this depending on when.
I mean, if you're watching this broadcast right now live on Ex-America News.
Then I'm just going to give you the news as I have it.
However, if you're watching this later in the day or tomorrow, who knows?
The United States may in fact strike Iran.
But that's not the news that we have at the moment.
What we have at the moment is yesterday the President of the United States sent his press secretary out, Caroline Leavitt, and decided to give and make a statement about the Potential peace negotiations.
Donald Trump announcing yesterday he's going to give them two weeks.
He's going to give Iran two weeks.
And who knows?
Maybe not.
Maybe they have less than a week.
I don't know.
But here it is.
Here's Caroline Levitt from yesterday talking about the idea of negotiations.
Regarding the ongoing situation in Iran.
I know there has been a lot of speculation amongst all of you in the media regarding the President's decision-making and whether or not the United States will be directly involved.
In light of that news, I have a message directly from the President, and I quote: Based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks.
That's a quote directly from the president for all of you today.
So really, I mean, within the next two weeks.
So that means it could be today.
That means that he could make a decision tomorrow.
That means, I mean, it could take two weeks.
So, yeah.
I guess he gives Rand up to two weeks, but maybe less.
So obviously, I think it's good news, just in terms of if we really do want to try to keep the U.S. out of the war, which many people in the MAGA movement do.
We don't want a new war, especially not a new war in the Middle East, especially not a war that was started.
In the midst of the peace negotiations by Israel last week, I guess it was a week ago today, that that's what we were covering, that Israel went ahead and decided to strike.
And then we had all these reports from Israel saying that Trump was in on it.
And then we had conflicting reports saying, no, actually, Whitcoff and Trump were trying for peace.
You know, Israel went ahead and attacked.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, interestingly enough, told Matt Gaetz that the Thursday before Israel attacked, there was a vote in the Israeli government that signaled that Benjamin Netanyahu, if a vote was held or an election, would not have the support of the people or of the politicians.
And so she's claiming that the war kicked off in part.
Because Benjamin Netanyahu wants to remain in power.
We'll have that audio for you a little later in the day.
Steve Dace is right, and this is what I've been saying as well.
Pray for wisdom and discernment.
Pray for our leaders.
Pray that they would have wisdom.
And do what's right in this extremely complicated situation where people's lives are on the line.
You have American servicemen in the Middle East, in the bases, all around, stationed all around.
I think the 25,000, 30,000 is the total number that are under threat.
And so under threat specifically, yeah, they're under threat right now, but they're specifically going to be under threat.
If the United States gets directly involved in this, Iran could very easily launch attacks on those bases and potentially kill American service members.
And that's what I don't want.
I don't want more dead Americans in the Middle East, which has really just been a staple on the casualty list, a yearly staple on the casualty list of American troops ever since I've been alive, really.
And people in my generation, I think, are sick and tired of it.
And that's to put it mildly.
People will express that in various different ways.
Here is...
I don't know, but I'm going to take a time to at least have a little fun.
This photo of Lindsey Graham is pretty hilarious.
Brian Cate says, when you're right on the cusp of having your wargasm, and then you get told two weeks.
Here is Lindsey, Lady G, everybody, Lady G. Mark Levin, not too happy with this as well.
He's hoping for war, obviously.
He reacts to this tweet, Prime Minister Netanyahu, IDF Chief of Staff Zamir, Defense Minister Katz, Minister Dermer, and other Israeli senior officials, according to this report, held a discussion last night with Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and other senior U.S. government officials.
The topic, according to this report by Raylan Givens, the American hesitation about whether to join Israel and attack Iran.
on Now, interestingly enough, on this particular topic, Douglas McGregor, who is rarely wrong, by the way, not saying he's always right, but I believe from where I stand, from where this journalist stands, Douglas McGregor is rarely inaccurate or wrong.
He claims that Israel is actually, Tel Aviv specifically, is taking major damage.
He went on Napolitano's show and said this.
How badly did Iran damage Israel's defenses and damage Israel itself with Iran's retaliation?
Do we know?
Because I know the Israelis are not making this apparent and suppressing the news.
Well, you have seen the quote from Ben Gavir, because he was asked, why are you turning now to the Americans so soon?
This is after the first 72 hours.
And he said, because we didn't understand or appreciate the enormous striking power of the Iranian missile arsenal.
So I think the Israelis are in bad shape.
About a third of Tel Aviv has been damaged or destroyed, and I'm sure that that will continue.
As far as their military installations are concerned, I'm told that they're flying a lot of aircraft out of the country.
Many are being flown to Cyprus in order to avoid being struck.
I think Israel is on the ropes, to be blunt.
It has only a few days left in terms of anti-missile missiles, in other words, air defense capability.
And some people have described to me, they're on the ground over there, the Iron Dome as a giant sieve.
So there you have it.
Just in terms of an alternative perspective of probably what you're not hearing on Fox News.
As a matter of fact, I think I have this somewhere else.
Let me find this really quickly.
because speaking of Fox News, I saw Steve Bannon, let me see if I Here it is.
I saw Steve Bannon post this on his morning show, or I guess Grace Chong put it out there, but he's actually calling for a Foreign Agent Registration Act investigation against Fox News because they are so obviously not being biased when it comes to...
When we finished the cold open last Friday morning, what did we end with?
We ended with the shock and awe of 19 March of 2003 and also the march up to Baghdad when all the people, you know, were beating their chests and this is going to be easy and what a victory.
Look, we still have, what, 25,000, 30,000 troops that are now exposed to the Persians for counterattack.
When you deal in the Middle East, understand that history can come up and grab you, okay?
It's unbelievable.
And quite frankly, it's almost criminal, criminal, what is going on.
In fact, I think an investigation into, like, what is the information Fox News is getting?
Is money changing hands?
Are they getting ads?
I mean, I would actually say, you know, a FARA investigation should take place of Fox News, and it should take place of Fox News, like, starting today.
So he's wanting an investigation.
Now, this was in response, I believe, to Kayleigh McEnany on Fox News, you know, putting out that this is simple.
This is easy.
This is no big deal.
The United States can end the nuclear program with one swoop of a plane.
You just need one plane to fly over, drop the bomb on whatever the nuclear facilities called.
escapes me right now, you know, that's So it's, you know, and here's the deal.
I wish it were that simple, but I certainly don't believe Kayleigh McEnany that it's going to be that simple.
And I think that's the issue.
People don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and we're being told that they're days away or...
I saw the rat cliff of the CIA is now saying they're on the one-yard line.
And it all, you know, rings.
You know what?
And this is the thing.
If the people who had constantly championed weapons of mass destruction and that lie with Iraq, like if there had been some sort of contrition over the last, or admission that they were wrong over the last 20 years, Maybe there would be at least some rationale to consider it this time.
Basically the exact same playbook, the exact same argument, but we haven't had any of that.
As a matter of fact, the few people who have apologized for believing it and advancing it, like Tucker Carlson, are now being accused of being foreign agents themselves or taking money from foreign agents.
It's just gaslighting.
It's gaslighting.
I mean, I can sit here and say, okay, yes, if Iran is, and I know they're a theocracy, and I know they're radical, and I know they're Islamists, and I know all of that, but if it's to the level of just, yeah, we want to watch the world burn, as some people say, of course I don't want those people to have a nuclear weapon.
But as I talked about on the show yesterday, my whole question is, The Bashar al-Assad question.
This is the same thing with the supposed Iranian assassination attempts against Trump.
At some point, yes, radical.
You can just be a total madman.
Those people exist, and maybe that's who Iran is.
Obviously, they're not benign.
Obviously, I don't support Iran.
I have to qualify that now, because that's what everybody will say.
But I just wonder, is there any self-preservation?
Is the radicalism so extreme that there's no self-preservation for the leadership of Iran who are in power and living in the lap of luxury and have a citizenry under their thumb?
Do you think they want that to go away?
Do you think they want that to end?
Of course not.
And so just like with anything, I think somebody's principles, even if they're radical, theocratic ones, can, you know, And I don't think that human condition, that human component to all this, is not being talked about at all.
Instead, it's just, Orwell, okay, tell us who we're supposed to hate.
Okay, they're altogether evil.
That means we don't need to know anything about what's going to happen afterwards, like 92 million people.
We can just...
It makes it easier to dehumanize and not actually weigh the moral question that you need to weigh.
And maybe the answer to the end of that, you know, for some people is, yep, we've got to strike.
We've got to do the one fell swoop of the plane, which I don't think that's entirely going to be.
It's not going to be that easy.
But all of this propaganda, to me, is just being done so you don't actually have to weigh the morality of the decision, in my opinion.
But I know there's other people that would vehemently disagree with me on that, and that's fine.
Interesting, though, news here, calling for a Farrah investigation because Fox News is so pro-war.
And, you know, if you're listening to this program, I would...
Like, if you found this show, then you're not glued to Fox News all the time.
But I bet you your parents or your grandparents are.
And that's all that they're hearing right now.
Something to think about.
Share this show with them, possibly.
Mark Levin, not happy with the two-week pause.
Not happy at all.
Matter of fact, not happy with Charlie Kirk.
You know, Charlie Kirk decided to, according to a media headline, Charlie Kirk warns against war with Iran.
Not even the Romans could defeat Persia.
Warning about this.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk criticized Lindsey Graham and other Republicans cheering for war with Iran on Thursday, warning that not even the Romans could defeat Persia more than 2,000 years ago.
Quote, we must understand that if we're to do forceful regime change, sounds good.
Lindsey Graham is cheering for that.
What would happen to the refugees?
Where would they go?
Kirk questioned on Newsmax is Bob Schmidt tonight.
Millions of people going to the West.
The country could fall into civil war.
Now, Charlie Kirk saying this has, you know, it's gotten the displeasure of Mark Levin.
And he tells Charlie, now listen to this, isn't this an interesting way to put it?
It's almost like Mark Levin considers himself almost like some sort of political, ideological groomer of Charlie Kirk.
He says, the Romans and Persians are gone, Charlie.
The Jews are still here.
How do you explain that?
And Israel has defeated the Iranian military.
Did it in two days.
Come back home, Charlie.
Reject the kooks, my friend.
Yeah, Mark Levin not having the best of the last 24 hours.
He was really happy most of this week because it looked like the strike was imminent.
And by the way, it may in fact still be imminent.
They've got a meme out there of Mark Levin as a regime change car salesman.
This deal will not last.
You must act now.
Don't think about it.
You don't want to miss out, do you?
You walk off this slot and this deal goes away.
Some pretty good stuff.
Mark Levin's also really upset with Matt Gaetz.
Posobiec asking if Mark Levin is having a rough day.
I think it really stems from this clip.
I know there was another quote that he said.
I don't have it pulled up right now, but I think it really comes to do with this segment.
Benny Johnson, Matt Gaetz flips the script on Middle East diplomacy.
I wonder if Gaetz had been Attorney General if we would already have Epstein arrests.
What do you think?
If both Iran and Israel have secret nuclear programs with no IAEA oversight, why not have both of them give them up?
A dual disarmament deal brokered by Trump sealed with a Nobel Peace Prize.
Here is part of that Matt Gaetz segment and the Marjorie Taylor Greene clip I referenced earlier.
Israel didn't kick their regime change habit with Iraq or Libya or Syria, it seems.
They need another fix.
But Matt, this isn't a regime change war.
It's about Iran's nuclear program.
I wish that were true, but it's not.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene opined, That maybe Netanyahu is so feisty about regime change in Iran because he was facing regime change in Israel.
It's not being reported enough that on Thursday they held a vote in the Knesset.
And it was only by two votes that Netanyahu won.
If he had lost, they would have had another election in Israel.
And the polling shows that he would lose if an election were to occur today.
That vote happened last Thursday.
And then Friday...
That's why the bombs are falling.
And it seems very political.
Wow.
Here's how you know this isn't about Iran's nuclear program.
We aren't taking these steps to force denuclearization where the threat is higher and the leaders are even crazier.
Take North Korea.
North Korea's nuclear program is a far greater threat to the United States than Iran's.
It is not even close.
I know.
I've had the briefings.
I was on the House Armed Services Committee for eight years.
Iran has neither the bomb, the delivery system, nor the re-entry vehicle that you would need for any intercontinental ballistic missile to launch and re-enter orbit.
North Korea has all three.
North Korea could launch a nuclear weapon at mainland United States today.
We've probably got the ability to knock it out of the sky, but Iran can't even get their bird in the air.
Iran's death to America chant isn't really my bag, obviously.
But Kim in the hermit kingdom points to U.S. cities like Los Angeles and San Diego and Seattle on maps, and he openly discusses wiping off major U.S. population centers from existence.
So that's probably why Mark Levin is so upset at Matt Gaetz.
What do you think?
Comparing this situation to others, exposing apparent double standards, also kind of taking things down a notch because that does make you think that all of this alarmism is maybe not as urgent as we are being told.
And the only reason, I mean, you know, look, we have history on our side here because we have the hindsight of weapons of mass destruction.
So, are you convinced?
Now, here's this story from Reuters.
Derek Evans reporting that Iranian officials just told Reuters that Iran is ready to discuss limitations on their uranium enrichment.
A senior Iranian official told Reuters Iran was ready to discuss limitations on uranium enrichment but that any proposal for zero enrichment not being able to enrich uranium at all would be rejected especially now under Israel's strikes.
Currently What's interesting about this two-week, this is why I think America could drop bombs tonight.
Matter of fact, Mark Mitchell was even calling that possibility of Rasmussen reports because as soon as the markets close, he's saying, are we going to see bombs away as soon as the markets close today?
I don't know.
We'll see.
But, you know, Iran is now saying they want to do nuclear talks, but they don't want to do it until there's a ceasefire.
So they want Israel to stop, they want to stop, and then they want to come back to the table.
The question is, would Israel stop?
The question is, based on what Marjorie Taylor Greene just said, is that something Netanyahu wants?
If Marjorie Taylor Greene is correct, then this is not just about nuclear weapons or regime change.
This is also potentially about politics, which wouldn't be the first time somebody goes to war in the history of human civilization to try to save their political fortunes back home.
Wouldn't be the first time, would it?
No, of course not.
And so, that also leads me to, well, I guess we'll talk about the people that are really in the targets right now.
You know, there's a big divide right now in MAGA.
At least there's a divide on X. I don't know how much that translates, right?
But, you know, there was, you know, Laura Loomer is putting, she's really been going after Tucker Carlson really hard because Tucker Carlson is, you know, against another Middle East war.
And I know the nuance people are trying to carve out is like, well, Israel's just at war.
We haven't been taking a war yet.
Quit trying to turn on President Trump and it's taking us to war.
Look, we have been through so much and I am fine with all of these voices.
Who are a part of this MAGA coalition being as loud as they want to be.
And let's have a debate about it.
Because honestly, we all have, or at least we should all have, a very healthy, healthy, robust skepticism of government, especially when it comes to reasons for war.
Because I think the government lies to us all the time.
But boy, they turned the gaslighting and lies not just with this, but with all wars up to 11. When it comes to giving the populations an honest account of why we need to go to war.
I've said this a couple of times now, but you go look even at that movie, The Princess Bride, the whole premise of that movie is based on false flag reasons to get a nation to go to war.
And so we have a very healthy skepticism of government.
We have a very healthy skepticism of politicians and their reasons for doing anything, just like Mike Lee is being raked over the coals right now for this federal land proposition.
All of it should be investigated, or all of it should be looked at every which way, and the distrust is perfectly healthy within American discourse, and that's what we should be right now.
But if we're...
There is literally...
No better reason to be skeptical than reasons to go to war where American troops may be asked to die in the Middle East once again.
So in response to Laura Loomer putting out this FARA document, trying to claim that Tucker Carlson has taken money from foreign governments like Tucker to set up interviews, or that Tucker has taken money.
Data Republican over on X says lots of the PDF screenshots that were floating around, and they did look like they supported the thesis that Tucker was receiving money from Cutter.
But actually, after examining the document, she says it's the opposite of what's being claimed.
And then goes on to say that...
After examining the document for myself, Tucker did not receive Cutter money.
My apologies for repeating this.
So, Laura Loomer, in response to that, says, well, how do you know Tucker didn't receive money?
Do you really think a mainstream media pundit would be contacted by a lobbyist for Qatar about setting up an interview overseas with the prime minister of Qatar and fly to Qatar on his own dime with his staff?
So now, you know, people have noted that – And now I think Laura Loomer is demanding that Tucker Carlson produce his bank statements.
But the bottom line is, this is all going on because Tucker's, it's a personal attack, I think, because Tucker is effective.
He's being effective.
That Ted Cruz interview was devastating and really came at an appropriate time where we're actually hashing out these You know, back and forth in real time.
So it's good.
Generally speaking, it's good.
Now, speaking of Tucker, now this is a fantastic video.
Harrison Smith of Infowars says, The most influential speakers in America, like Rogan, Carlson, Glenn Beck, and many more, were all sent down the path of awakening long time ago by the same legendary guide, and he's talking about Alex Jones.
So this is from Richard Gage.
Who is the international speaker, 37-year architect, member of the American Institute of Architects, and he's all for 9-11 truth.
Richard Gage, 9-11 is his handle.
He posted this video kind of the evolution of a Tucker Carlson.
And just like Mark Levin was telling Charlie Kirk to come back home.
Come back home, Charlie.
Where have you gone, Charlie?
Come back home!
This is the real reason that Tucker Carlson is being despised right now and being attacked because he dared have opinions and was on the side of the neocons for so long.
And then started to look critically at what he believed, realized that he believes something different now, and he's open about that, and he's apologized for his stance on the Iraq War and said that he was, dare I say it, wrong.
So many of these people, remember Fonzie in Happy Days could never say that he was wrong?
That's like the American neocon.
Military-industrial complex.
Never.
Even when Tucker Carlson brought up to Ted Cruz, like, do you want to apologize for the Ukrainian war, your support for it?
We've killed a million of Ukrainians' children for nothing.
They were never going to beat Russia.
No apology.
No nothing.
No self-reflection.
And so there's a real-world cost to these decisions, and I think that's why everybody on the MAGA side in this infighting needs to just be as vocal as you want to be.
If you don't want more dead Americans in the Middle East, then say that.
And be skeptical that whatever this plan is may not work out the way they all say, like Kayleigh McEnany says on Fox News, it'll just be one swoop of an airplane and everything will be over.
Never mind the 30,000 troops stationed overseas that are going to potentially get missiles shot at them and potentially die.
Now, maybe you have more than one fell swoop.
Maybe you have several.
I don't know.
But this video is fascinating about Tucker's evolution, specifically over Building 7 crashing on 9-11, coming down, looking like it was demolished.
When it wasn't hit by an airplane, watch.
Alleging not simply a cover-up by the U.S. government, but by the entire American media.
2005.
It's totally implausible.
Like, we would report that if that were true.
Tucker, not quite entire.
Tell us one thing to hold on to.
You make these claims or appear to make these claims.
Do you have any evidence?
Specifically, you appear to make these claims.
The claims that are being made here are that in the lower third here, back in 2005, explosives caused 9-11 collapse.
This was back when people were, you couldn't even really say this, and if you did, you went on a show like Tucker's back in the day, and you would just get destroyed.
Sure, sure.
Let's start with the collapse of Building 7. Can you roll the video clip that I sent to you?
Okay, I'm not sure if we can.
Building 7 was not hit by an airplane.
No, I'm familiar with that.
And so, conveniently, I know.
And if there's any evidence Now this is 2012.
I believe anything, if there's evidence.
So, knock it off.
Have you seen Building 7 collapse, the Salomon Brothers?
So that was 2012, where he says there is no evidence.
So two years later...
No.
I want to show you that right now.
Now, here we're going to show you a videotape of the collapse itself.
Now we go to videotape the collapse of this building.
That's Dan Rather's voice.
Amazing, incredible, pick your word, for the third time today, it's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen too much on television before when a building was deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down.
was this after collapse of the other two yes she's saying it's fallen building seven the maverick gianni at much earlier today uh...
because of the course the dreadful collapse of the twin towers of the world trade center The phones are not working properly.
The announced Building 7 fell 25 minutes before it did, and then lied and said this wasn't real, and then later admitted it.
And then we have the up-close footage of CNN.
Police saying, "Get back, they're gonna bring it down." "Do you hear that?" "Keep your eye on that building, it'll be coming down." "It's about to blow up, we'll get back." "All right guys?" "We are walking back, there's a building, about to blow up." "We've got to get away from the tower." It's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen too much on television before when What do you think of that?
You know, I'm not a structural engineer.
I think it's upsetting to watch it.
I remember when that happened.
I mean, look.
I have no idea.
I don't know anything.
I mean, I don't understand how buildings collapse.
I don't understand how Building 7 collapsed.
So that was, again, 2014, nine years later, after being fired from Fox News.
Here's Tucker.
What actually happened with Building 7?
Like, that is weird, right?
March of 2023.
Like, what is that?
Right.
If you were to say something like that on television, they'd flip out.
They would flip out.
You'd lose your job over that.
Why?
Why?
But it's an entirely fair question.
It is not crazy to ask, how did those buildings collapse in the way they did, particularly the building that was not hit by a plane?
Like, what was that?
And you get to a certain point where you realize people are lying right to your face.
What began to make me wonder, and I have no idea what happened to 9-11, but it's very clear that there's a lot of lying around it, was the collapse of Building 7. And all the wackos would be like, Building 7!
Building 7!
I'd be like, shut up, wackos!
And then if you just sort of look at it, you're like, well, that is very weird, actually.
No plane hit that building.
Does this happen a lot when buildings catch fire?
Besides being a firefighter, I work for the INA, largest insurance company in North America.
I was responsible for training their fire protection and arson people for 18 years.
That doesn't happen.
You never have a 47-story building just collapse, which this is.
By the way, I never questioned anything about 9-11, and I actively attacked people who did.
I'm ashamed of that, but that's a fact.
I did it on tape more than once.
Because my feeling was, well, you know, like, that's divisive or whatever.
I was a child and an idiot.
Now that you've looked into it and you said you don't have a coherent theory as to what it was, but you've got a lot of questions, which questions trouble you the most?
Now, I want to stop here for a second.
This is incredible.
So we've gone through several different years.
Now he's interviewing...
It's now mainstream to just understand that we haven't been told the truth about 9-11.
So Tucker comes out of this, openly questions the JFK, which is a huge data point that we don't know all the answers to.
People haven't been held accountable for that.
And then the truth about 9-11?
No one's been held accountable for that.
It starts with Building 7. Yes.
Where you look at that and it just...
It does come down just like a building demolition type of project.
You get a documentary of this Alaskan structural engineering professor that does a four-year study on it.
Pretty well debunks NIST's analysis.
And again, you don't have to be a structural engineer to say this really doesn't make sense.
When you start putting together...
They had molten steel in the twin towers, and I'm not sure they had a number seven.
But if one column, it says one column expanded, went off kilter, and that's what brought the whole thing down, well, it wouldn't come down so symmetrically.
you wouldn't have a free fall.
Why have you been so And of course, the Overton window is all about this is what you can discuss without threat or without risk.
But you've got to go beyond that.
Because I was part of the cover-up, and I feel guilty about it.
That's why.
And I'm trying to atone for my previous sense.
Wow.
I'm sorry, not the Iraq War.
I mean the war in Iran.
I'm talking about the war in Iran, yeah.
I'm going to get the two confused.
It's crazy.
Saddam Hussein as a weapons ambassador.
Did I say Saddam Hussein?
I'm sorry.
I meant Khomeini.
I meant Khomeini.
Before we go, let's see here.
Oh, yeah.
So, and because of Tucker Carlson's effectiveness, we now have this story out of the New York Post.
Rogue states, Russia, and Iran attempting to destroy MAGA movement with disinformation bot army.
So, all of the infighting that's with MAGA right now over peace versus war or whether to strike in a limited way or whether to put boots on the ground, as Lindsey Graham alluded to, U.S. soldiers would be happy to go over there if they were.
They'd be happy to do it.
All of the infighting we've seen on X this week and in other places, it's mainly on X. It's actually because of Russia and Iran.
They're operating bots.
Really feels like it's 2016.
Do they think it's 2016 all over again?
We're going to buy this.
Martyr Made, or of the Martyr Made podcast, Daryl Cooper writes, once again, they think you are literally retarded.
And then we have, just in kind of a totally different direction, Elon Musk's rocket totally exploded.
Did you guys see that?
I mean, it was just a fiery inferno.
Smash Bells says, God will not be mocked.
So apparently on June 16th, Elon Musk wrote on X, No gods or kings, only men.
Kind of an ode to men's greatness.
Got to get a real, we're going to build a tower to heaven type of vibe there from Musk.
And then his rocket exploded.
Now, I was worried that people were going to blame the rocket destruction on Iran, by the way.
So, Iran did it!
But it's, you know, something to think about.
Congratulations to Mark Lynch, South Carolina.
He's challenging Lindsey Graham.
Do we still have that photo of Lindsey?
Where is it?
Yeah.
Where did the photo of Lindsey go?
There it is.
Oh, there he is.
Mark Lynch getting the endorsement of Ivan Raiklin.
The deep state marauder endorses Mark Lynch for the United States Senate in South Carolina.
Mark Lynch has had the courage to put his own money up.
Successful businessman.
Wants to permanently retire Lindsey.
Or, you know, retire him from the U.S. Senate, I should say.
You have to qualify, you know.
Ivan Raiklin is a warrior for the Constitution, Mark Lynch says, and against the deep state.
I'm honored to have his support and effort to dump Lindsey.
Ivan Raiklin tweeting, Lindsey Graham's fingerprints are all over the biggest scandals, disrupting the America First agenda, beginning with his complicity in the covering for the Russia hoax and his position as the chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee.
Lindsey Graham's incessant public laudatory statements praising the Biden criminal syndicate.
Headed by Joe Biden, disqualify Graham from serving as a Republican senator from South Carolina.
Further, Lindsay's unlimited support for foreign incursions that benefit other nations to the exclusion of the United States interests are considered by many at this point to rise to the level needed to convict for treason.
We can't have a warmonger running around with...
Uh...
Uh...
For these reasons and countless others, South Carolina must immediately remove Lindsey Graham from office as U.S. Senator.
The best person to make that happen is Mark Lynch.
Lynch is a successful businessman, a family man.
Two things, Lindsey Graham.
Knows nothing about.
Lynch employs 110 South Carolinians as president and owner of a very successful home furnishings and department store, which he refused to close during COVID.
Mark is fighting on the front lines against the tyrannical health care takeover, most recently by blocking the confirmation of top Fauci Deputy Edward Simmer as health czar in South Carolina.
Mark has skin in the game, and he's in it to win it.
Mark Lynch is the only real opportunity to rid warmonger Lindsey Graham from the U.S. Senate seat for South Carolina.
There you go.
Ivan Raiklin endorsing Lindsey Graham.
One of the things we didn't talk about yesterday at all was that it was a federal holiday.
It was kind of inconvenient that the banks were closed.
We didn't even mention Juneteenth.
Can you believe it?
Can you believe we didn't even mention Juneteenth?
Not everybody's happy with just, you know, we've got kind of not a lot of pride stuff going on, not as much as usual, and not as big of a fanfare.
I didn't even really hear about it, other than that, you know, you go to the bank and you've got a sign that the bank's closed for Juneteenth because it's a federal holiday.
But one African-American lady is not happy with Kroger.
Because they did not make as big of a deal about Juneteenth as they should have.
If you've got kids in the room, there's just a little bit of language here, and it's not bleeped out, so you've been warned.
Here it is.
This is some bullshit.
Who the hell made this ugly ass I wish it was a manager here because y 'all decorate everything else around here cute.
Everything else around here cute.
But for Juneteenth, you want to just throw something on a freaking cookie cake and expect someone to buy it?
That's bullshit.
Fuck.
No.
What this fuck?
Free at last.
Like, really?
Free.
Who the fuck thinks about this dumb ass shit?
That's really funny.
He's like, well, we've got to have some Juneteenth cakes, so what are we going to do?
And they just write free the symbol at and last on it.
For those of you listening to the audio-only version of this podcast, these cakes are nothing special.
It's almost like they thought Juneteenth was just like an afterthought to them.
So this lady is...
Folks, I want to tell you about Red Vive Health and the great folks at Red Vive Health and their incredible red light technology.
We're talking about red light emitted from these panels, also near-infrared light.
Now, this stuff, actually, on the spectrum, it comes naturally from the sun, but this is targeted doses.
Lighting your path to wellness, and it does so much more than you could even imagine.
I was on the machine earlier today, or this morning, and it's just, it's incredible what it does for energy, and also just kind of keeping my back healthy, because as I told you, I tweaked my back lifting something heavy, and it is incredible what it does long-term, but also what it does short-term.
There really is like an analgesic.
You really feel that your muscles feel different and they're being...
I don't know what to tell you.
But you can look better.
You can feel better.
So you guys have heard me say this before, but the red light is great for collagen production, which is going to be anti-aging, quite frankly.
Skin blemishes, things like that.
And then the near-end for red light penetrates deeper into the body.
It reaches your bones, your muscles, your organs, your deep tissues.
And stimulating the mitochondria of all of your cells, which is the powerhouse of your cell, which is what's required for cellular respiration and a lot of other functions.
Over the long term, you get the immediate effect, but over the long term, you really get even more effects that I'm anxious to see.
I was talking with Dr. Desai about this.
As I continue to use this even more, I'm excited to experience the long-term effects that it's going to have on your body.
I think it's already had an incredible impact on my digestive system, by the way.
That's the one thing.
But it also can burn fat as well while you use this machine.
And it does so many things.
And I just want you to understand that nobody sends these things back.
There's a 60-day money-back guarantee.
There's a 0% interest financing available on the website.
I want you to look into that because these are not cheap.
I know that.
But if you use my link, you're going to get 15% off.
And I think that's a significant savings.
And if you missed the Father's Day sale, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry you missed it.
But these are still incredible pieces of technology Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about, and I think you need to get them in your home.
I really do.
Clinical strength, red light panels in your home.
Get off the hamster wheel of Big Pharma and the medical industrial complex.
That's redvivehealth.org slash paul.
Gets you the 15%, that link.
You click OK.
It'll say, you've been given a gift when you go there.
And you click OK, and then when you're ready to check out, it'll populate there automatically.
And if you don't want to go through the rigmarole of a website, you can go to the, just call them.
They'll call them and just mention my name and they'll take care of you.
866-726-8483.
866-726-8483.
And experience the healing power of Red Light today.
So, what time is it?
I think we've got enough time to do this, folks.
Maybe not as much as I would like, but we do have time.
Focus on the family.
Focus on the family.
This is an organization that's done great work.
Christian organization.
Over the years.
They've done incredible work.
But you know how I said, this is what I think is actually going on.
You know how I said the fanfare of Pride Month and everything is not being shoved down our throat as much anymore, right?
I actually think it's because it's not as useful for color revolutions anymore because the American people have rejected it in a lot of ways, so they're not promoting it as much.
It's still there, but it's not as much.
Then you get an organization-like focus on the family that probably sits down at the beginning of the year and schedules out what they're going to make issues of.
And in the month of June, they think, you know what, we really need to address this pride issue because it's going to be a big deal.
And unfortunately for them, they made a post that kind of minimizes the sin of homosexuality, and there's been a big fallout from it.
We've got this original post right here that I can show you, which is, This was the original post.
Is being gay a sin, they write?
Before we say anything else, please know that being gay doesn't send anybody to hell.
Full stop.
What?
What are you talking about?
Being gay doesn't send anyone to hell?
I thought being gay was a sin.
And I thought all sin will send you to hell, whether it's the sin of homosexuality or sodomy or...
There are varying degrees of wickedness, but even one little sin, one little white lie, and you're done.
But they go on.
God uses only one fact to judge the world and determine who is saved and who isn't, faith in Jesus Christ.
Here's the bad news.
We all deserve to go to hell, but the good news is that God loves us in spite of our sin, and he sent his son Jesus Christ to purchase our redemption.
Well, I agree with that last part, but this tweet, that first tweet there, really has gotten people upset.
This isn't hard.
You're making sodomy a special category of sin.
Can Jesus save from that sin?
Yes, and he requires repentance, not merely stopping the action and desire, but also pursuing his design.
Let's see here.
The Jolly Brawler.
Sodomy is sinful and will send you to hell.
This post is misleading.
John Harris.
Good grief.
Yes, it's a sin.
Joel Berry.
Oh, no.
Focus on the family caught the mind virus.
Alex Kochman, this post is awful.
Evangelical Dark Web, this is heresy.
Repent.
Theo wars, Rob.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
It does.
And yes, other sins get you to hell too.
Not hard.
The Jolly Brawler, now do pedophilia.
Like, right, are you going to try to, you know, soften on this?
And then William Swallis says, Happy Pride Month.
Because that's why this post was made.
In Focus on the Family's Defense, they say, this post has caused some confusion.
Here's where we stand.
Focus on the Family's Position has always been and continues to be consistent with Scripture.
Homosexual behavior is fundamentally in conflict with the Christian faith.
The idea of being a gay Christian is an oxymoron, antithetical to both.
So they've tried to mop this mess up.
And, matter of fact, the link to this, they even confess in one of these posts that...
Megan Basham has taken issue with this, the author for Shepherds for Sale, over this, and she actually compares part of what Focus on the Family was attempting to do, minimizing LGBT sin.
is familiar to her.
She says, I suspect the focus on the family social media manager is a fan of Tim Keller, the late Tim Keller, because he said almost the exact same thing verbatim years ago.
But Keller went further and supported the living out checklist for churches.
I know Keller acolytes get angry when you bring this up, but this is part of his influence that we actually need to talk about.
Yes, we need to talk about it and resist it.
That list that she's talking about here, living out how biblically inclusive is your church, 10 statements to help you audit your church family.
Because that's what you want to do.
You want to audit your church family.
I just want to read a few of these.
Number one, your church family meetings include people who could be labeled LGBTQI +, and are same-sex attracted.
So that's the number one.
How biblically inclusive is your church?
The number one criteria, according to this Living Out page, is you've got to have people who are gay in there.
Red flag.
Or could be labeled.
Wouldn't that be stereotypes?
Number two, derogatory language or stereotyping attitudes towards anyone would not be tolerated either up front or in conversation between church.
Now, this second one is absolutely insane, right?
This is bringing political correctness onto the church and actually just kind of trying to adopt the world onto the church.
The idea that stereotypes or stereotyping attitudes is bad is...
Stereotypes exist because, as I've said many times, there are people out there in this world who reinforce those stereotypes every single day.
Stereotypes are actually good.
It can be good, I would say.
Stereotyping can be good.
It can be a way to protect your family.
It can be a way to also assume certain things about someone to where it actually could make your ministry more effective in them and getting them and sharing the gospel with them.
and hoping that they would actually repent and the Holy Spirit would change their life.
But again, what kind of...
Number three, all in your church know that we experience sexual brokenness and are all being encouraged to confess their own sexual sins.
It's focused on sex, too, right?
Just like the society is.
Everything's got to be focused on sex.
Now, if you actually have good relationships and rapport with your brothers and sisters in Christ, yeah, you're supposed to hold each other accountable, and yes, confessing your sin is good.
Anyway, it goes on and on and on.
But what really addresses this whole focus on the family thing is actually Jared Moore just recently wrote a piece unrelated to this, but it is related.
Jared Moore recently wrote a piece for Clear Truth Media alongside Rosaria Butterfield.
And the headline here is, Yes, God is anti-gay.
Written yesterday.
Is God anti-gay?
They write, yes, God is anti-gay.
The God of the Bible is anti-gay.
And the gods of the world are pro-gay.
We have walked the long road with prodigals and their parents.
Some have been led by the nose by the false idea that homosexuality is a permanent feature of some people's humanity and that God loves homosexuality.
This grievous heresy has denied an entire generation of young people the repentance needed to fight sin and grow in Christ.
We want you to know the truth.
You need to hate your sin without hating yourself.
God is anti-gay because God is anti-sin.
As Dr. Barry York says, same-sex attraction is actually sinful sexual attraction.
Too many people have shipwrecked their Christian lives by not knowing where the battle line is drawn and waiting too late to repent of sin.
Sin starts with your heart, not your actions.
any ministry or christian that restricts sin to actions and not the desires that fuel them revoice or the center for faith sexuality and gender or teaches that same-sex attraction is sinful temptation a form of fallenness but not sin proper is leading people astray this last obfuscation truly boggles the mind in the word
How can anyone fight an enemy when fellow Christians blur their ability to see sin as sin and even tell them not to repent of it?
Homosexuality is neither normal nor safe nor redeemable for the service of God, and we're not picking on homosexuality and ignoring other sexual sins.
All sin is treason against a holy God.
Still, we reject the common assumption that other heterosexual transgressions are of greater concern because they present as more prevalent sins.
Pornography, adultery, masturbation are normalized by our anti-Christian age.
But they are not lionized and defended by civil law as a social good and civil right carried forth by a minority people group.
Indeed, God is anti-gay because God is love.
He loves his creation and the created order.
Homosexuality is, at its root, rebellion against the created order.
Homosexuality is found in the fallen flesh, forbidden by the law of God, and overcome in the Savior.
And this is part of the good news of the gospel.
It's part of the good news of the gospel.
So then this article goes on a pretty lengthy...
Then how homosexuality is forbidden by the law of God.
We'll can park there for a second.
They write, When he holds in his heart a dishonorable passion, Romans 1.26, a consuming passion, Romans 1.27, and the coveting of a forbidden object, Matthew 5.28.
Yeah, earlier in the article they really talked about how Eve desired the apple before she took it and how that was covetousness.
And how when we want to sin, even if we want to sin and don't actually do it, that that is sin as well.
It's from the heart.
Jesus really...
All of these descriptions reflect things God hates and forbids, not an unchangeable characteristic.
Indeed, every scriptural example of homosexuality refers to lust or behavior, showing that homosexual sinners are like all of the other sinners in the Bible.
Genesis 19, 1-11.
Judges 19, 16-24 explain how wicked men, who were citizens of their cities, wanted to know sojourning men as husbands know their wives.
Leviticus 18, 22 and 20, 13. Forbid a man laying with a man as with a woman.
Roman 1.26.27 describes women and men exchanging their natural use of the opposite sex for the same sex in their hearts and actions.
1 Corinthians 6.9-10 says that those who practice homosexuality in thought and deed will not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Timothy 1.9-10 rebukes those who practice homosexuality, acting as men in the sexual act.
They go on.
They say the Bible does not regard sexual orientation as a category of personhood.
Because sexual orientation is a 19th century category mistake, you do not have same-sex attraction like you have brown eyes, and you do not experience same-sex attraction like you do a cold or acne.
You have a sin nature, and your job is to go to war against that sin nature and its impulses using the power of the Holy Spirit, Jeremiah 17, 9. Homosexuality is overcome by the Savior.
Anyone who wants to minister the gospel of grace to people overcome by homosexual desire must firmly understand why God is anti-gay.
God is anti-gay because God is love, and therefore God is anti-sin.
But God doesn't just condemn sin and leave us to suffer with no help or cure.
The Lord Jesus Christ became sin on the cross so that his people would be ransomed into the grace of forgiveness and the progressive victory over sin as we fight against our sin nature and the power of the Spirit's grace.
But the sexual sinner must fight with active and sincere repentance and drive a fresh nail into their homosexual sin a thousand times a day.
Galatians 5.17 records the daily battle of every Christian, quote, "...for the flesh lusts against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish." End quote.
The blood of Christ is no ally to the sin of homosexual desire because the blood of Christ does not make an ally to the sin it crushes on the cross.
Christ can change homosexual patterns of sin just like he can change any pattern of sin.
Yes, sexual sin runs deep, and yes, the battle is fierce.
But God is for you in this fight.
In his power, Christians can repent and live according to God's design for us, male and female.
They conclude, Freud or God?
Which way, Christian?
Every generation must defend the gospel anew and protect its young people from Satan's devices.
You are not who you feel you are.
You are who God says you are.
Neither your flesh nor your feelings determine your identity.
God does, and he created you male and female, including your sexuality.
By rejecting the modern myth of sexual orientation, submitting to salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and agreeing with God's law and the Bible, you can live a godly life from your heart in obedience to God by his Holy Spirit.
Having trusted in Christ, daily freedom in Christ from false identities is yours for the taking and living, if you will live in humble repentance according to God's design for you.
The question is, are you?
If not, you're opposed to God and who he created you to be.
You cannot kick against God's design and have joy in him at the same time.
If you are anti-gay, then enjoy Christ above all by repenting of every form of homosexual desire in you.
The fight is worth it because Christ is worth it.
Incredible.
And timely, considering I do think that speaks directly to the original tweet here by Focus on the Family.
Is being gay a sin and being gay won't send you to hell?
This is much better.
Rosario Butterfield, ladies and gentlemen, and Jared Moore.
Really, really well done.
And timely.
Specifically in this month of June, for sure.
Folks, that is all the time that I have for this edition of the Millstone Report.
I want to wish you a happy Friday, a blessed weekend.
Pray for peace.
Pray for President Donald Trump to have wisdom in these negotiations.
And if the bombs do start dropping this weekend, if they start dropping when the markets close, continue to pray and at the same time know that God is in control and he does move and control the affairs of men.
Thank God.
And this is also the time where I tell you to go to church.
If you don't go to church, I would encourage you to find a church that preaches the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus Christ and his mighty ability to save sinners.
And for those of you who do go to church, I hope you have a blessed Lord's Day, and God bless you.
And I will see you, unless I'm providentially hindered, I will be back here on Monday delivering you the news.
Godspeed.
God bless.
Have a great weekend.
