Now back to Chosen Generation with Pastor Greg. I want to encourage you in this Thanksgiving time that God has a plan, has a purpose, and He's working it out.

And He wants you to be a part of it. And you can through Jesus Christ His Son. If you've never professed faith in Jesus Christ, I encourage you to do that today. Simply pray this prayer, Father, please forgive me for all my sins. Take them away from me and help me to become the person that you created me to be.

I desire to have relationship with you. And I ask Jesus Christ to become the Lord of my life. I put my faith in Him, and I believe on the promises that you've made.

Amen. If you prayed that prayer, reach out to me and let me know. I'd love to hear from you today. And know this, we are God's chosen generation, chosen for such a time as this. And every day, when you listen to the program, and you hear the opening that we play, that is a reminder of who you and I are.

God bless you and have a great rest of your day. Welcome to Chosen Generation with your host, Pastor Greg Young. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should shoe forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God, which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

And now, Chosen Generation, where no topic is off limits and everything is filtered through biblical glasses. And now here's your host, Pastor Greg. And welcome to the program. Great to have you with me.

Thanks so much for being here. I know you have a choice and where you can listen each and every day. And I thank you for keeping it tuned here to Chosen Generation Radio.

Well, folks, I've got a great hour, hour number two coming at you. If you missed any of the first hour, we will have it up this afternoon in the podcast. We've got a brand new website, by the way, chosengenerationradio.com, brand new website, and I hope that you will check out the brand new website.

Again, chosengenerationradio.com, same location, but brand new site. And you can watch us right now. If you would like, you can watch us on the, hang on just a second. Let me make sure we're still up and rocking. Yes, we are.

You can watch us at chosengenerationradio.com. That is the TECN player. I encourage you to use either slim browser or Firefox to get the full screen, both Google and Android.

And Edge do not like the content of TECNtv.com. And so they changed the bandwidth so that we come out looking like those guys, like what you'd look like when you walk into one of those circus tents with the funky mirrors. Okay.

So if you'd like to see us in full screen mode, use Firefox or slim browser, Firefox or slim browser, and you'll get a nice, beautiful picture of us. And we will appreciate that. And by the way, while I'm talking about nice, beautiful pictures, David, if you would be so kind, I don't think I have one, but we need to get a copy of your constitutional sound bites so I can put it on my bookshelf back here while you're on so people can see the cover of your book.

That's fantastic. No, we will make such arrangements to do that and we'll see to it that not only you get a copy, but you get an autographed copy. Oh, man.

You know, now I'm excited. Come on. We'll make arrangements to do that. I love it. I love it.

No, that's very cool. That'd be great. That'd be great.

All right. So much to talk about today. I want to start out again by giving the phone number for the capital switchboard.

And I've, I've shared this many times before. Very, very important. It's the phone number for the capital switchboard and it's 202-224-3121.

202-224-3121. And the purpose for you having that is so that you can contact them and tell your representative, vote no, vote no on on Katonji Jackson Brown. And David, we need to explain why that's so important and how disappointing it is that both, well, that Connors, possibly Romney and Manchin are all looking at making a yes vote on her. Can you run down, in addition to the fact that she doesn't know what a woman is, but I mean, that's, that's kind of like the least of our issues. Am I, am I, am I not correct in that, even though that seems like a big deal to me? I would suggest that you are correct in that, in terms of that being the least of our issues, although that is kind of a, kind of a touchstone in terms of defining her inability to actually define anything. If she's unable to define that, how could she in fact, you know, deal with complex questions of law when she can't even deal with something quite so simple as, what is a woman? You know, that's, that's really a challenge. And I, I would suggest that, yeah, no, this is, this is really problematic in so many ways. Of course, as most of the audience knows, I'm running for Attorney General of Illinois, and some of that has to do with the fact that there's these woke prosecutors who in fact are not, are treating criminals as if they're victims rather than as criminals.

And Katonji Brown has that kind of history on the bench. She has a history of being a public defender. Of course, we need public defenders. There's, people are entitled to, entitled to have a defense.

And that's something they're entitled to under the sixth amendment of the constitution. That's not to be held against her, but to see through the, to look at her record and her record on sentencing as a judge and her propensity to allow child pornographers, drug dealers, people committing gun crimes to have either the lightest possible available sentences, or in fact, as part of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, she pushed, pushed through a situation that allowed for the reduction of sentences that were previously imposed. One was one that she did herself, that she was commanded to by the Sentencing Guidelines is they just sentence a drug dealer utilizing that, utilizing a weapon in a crime to 20 years.

And in fact, when she had the opportunity, she resend them with a compassion, compassionate consideration to only 12. She'd knocked eight years off the sentence. And, you know, some of the arguments under her regarding criminal sentencing issues, when they talk to her about recidivism issues, that is, you know, people reoffending when they've been let out.

She says, well, what's the difference? Whether we let them out now or let them out later, if they're going to reoffend, they'll reoffend either way. Well, he doesn't reoffend for that other eight years while he's locked up. You know, you see, these are really, really dangerous considerations. And now we're putting the equivalent of a woke prosecutor on the Supreme Court. So on the criminal issues, this is very, very dangerous.

And the other kind of danger is, of course, is that Ms. Katachi Brown is only 51 years old. And even though the court right now, her her additional vote would not particularly make any particular difference in case outcomes at the moment, she can be there for 30 years, 30 plus years. So as we look down the road of situations where, of course, we have the poorest borders now and we have that, we also have poorest, poorest jails because of prosecutors not prosecuting folks that should be, should be there for protection. With Ms. Katachi Brown, we run the risk of having poorest prisons, people being let out early sooner than that, than they were originally sentenced because of compassionate ideas on behalf of the people who committed crimes. And the range of sentencing on her situation and her record on that does not, does not, you know, it's not just related to drug crimes and the argument that perhaps some kind of drug crimes are disproportionately prosecuted against black folks and the issues about higher sentencing with cocaine. No, it's across, it's been across the board, including child choreographers and child molesters and people in situations of that ilk. So she, her thoughts will be in fact dangerous on the Supreme Court in the long run.

I'm just, I'm just, I'm just the criminal justice issues. So she has, she is in favor of stacking the court. She is against the Second Amendment. She has a very perverted view on the issue of sex education. As you mentioned, you know, the, the illegals, she's been very lenient when it comes to illegal immigration. She has a very questionable record when it comes to national sovereignty and border security.

You know, so those are all issues. I was gonna say anti-Christian, but it's interesting. She claims a form of Christianity.

I've read, had read something about that. I was almost gonna say anti-Christian. She is definitely not pro-free speech. She is pro-censored speech. She, you know, is, is not pro-traditional biblical Christianity. She seems to favor, you know, locking up people that might redress the government about things that, that she is politically in opposition to. So these are, again, these are the basic liberties of the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment. I mean, these are, these are just basic things. And, and her record, her track record is, is very dangerous, in my opinion.

Yes. Well, the, in terms of just the idea of the Constitution, she, we have people, they asked her about, you know, her judicial philosophy. And she would never even answer that question. Supreme Court nominees are, of course, notorious for trying to indicate, trying to avoid direct questions. And they often say that, you know, they don't want to commit on a particular issue, but they've always answered questions about, you know, their judicial philosophy, right? That is, whether they're, whether they're a strict constructionist, or whether they believe in a living constitution or, or, or matters of that, she would not even answer that kind of question, that, that even all the other ones. And of course, that goes along, that builds on the question of what is a woman? You know, essentially, that kind of question says, what is the Constitution? And for all practical purposes, to her, it's non-existent.

There is no Constitution, and the judges get to make a log, just whatever they think is appropriate. And so often, she had a record, when she was sentencing, doing sentencing on criminal matters, or actually apologizing to these folks for following the law, and then use backdoor, backdoor methods for avoiding the law in terms of having people resentenced after she sentenced them to regarding the sentencing guidelines, and then then we're gonna have them come back for, and then do things so that they could be released. And we're, and we should be clear that we're talking, David, about violent individuals.

We're, we're not talking about, you know, minor cases or minor situations when we're, when we're making reference to this. You know, there's a reason why the judges have, just, you know, discretion, and, and should when it comes to some of these issues, because there are some issues that are presented before them, and, and you've sat in that situation, before them, and, and you've sat in that seat or filled in in that seat before. There are some situations that come before you that, that you say, yeah, you know, a maximum sentence or what have you would be out of line for this person. This person shows remorse and, and this particular situation justifies a pathway of, of, of restoration versus a situation where it's a violent act, a very hideous violent act, and, and punishment needs to be meted out that is, that goes along with the, the level of the crime. Well, there's certain, there's a, there's a few things that the criminal justice system is supposed to achieve.

Certainly one is rehabilitation, one is to be punished, one is retribution, but one is to protect society by removing dangerous individuals from society. And we'll talk more about that after the break. Yes, absolutely. David Shostakis, our guest constitutional soundbites.

I so greatly appreciate it. Did you know Matthew 10 tells us, whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, but rather fear him who's able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin and not one of them falls to the ground apart from your father's will, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear, therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows. I want to encourage you in this Thanksgiving time that God has a plan, has a purpose, and He's working it out.

And He wants you to be a part of it. And you can through Jesus Christ, His Son. If you've never professed faith in Jesus Christ, I encourage you to do that today. Simply pray this prayer. Father, please forgive me for all my sins. Take them away from me and help me to become the person that you created me to be.

I desire to have relationship with you. And I ask Jesus Christ to become the Lord of my life. I put my faith in Him, and I believe on the promises that you've made.

Amen. If you prayed that prayer, reach out to me and let me know. I'd love to hear from you today. And know this, we are God's chosen generation, chosen for such a time as this. And every day when you listen to the program, and you hear the opening that we play, that is a reminder of who you and I are.

God bless you, and have a great rest of your day. Now back to Chosen Generation with your host, Pastor Greg. And don't forget, you can get more Chosen Generation at www.chosengenerationradio.com.

So thank you very much for making Chosen Generation Radio the number one program in your choice. And I hope that as we have placed techntv.com's player at chosengenerationradio.com, you'll spend more time there at the site watching the great content that is played. Kenneth MacLennan and our entire team works very hard to bring you great content. And I hope you'll stick around and enjoy it. Speaking of great content, David Shostakis has a new website up, Dave4AG.com. Dave4AG.com. He is running for Attorney General for the great state of Illinois.

And I hope that you will check that out and possibly consider offering him some support as well. He is a constitutional origin, a constitutional originist. And how does that relate to, you know, the question of this nomination that we're talking about and why, by the way, up on the screen, 202.224.3121.

202.224.3121. You have two senators you need to reach out to. Every single person listening has two senators in your state. You need to call them and tell them we want a no vote on the current nominee for the Supreme Court Justice position. A no vote.

It's imperative. David, talk about being a constitutional originist and why that makes a difference, why that's so significant. Well, the point of a constitution in the first place is that everybody understands what it is that they're living under, the system that they're living under. It goes back to the promise of the Declaration of Independence that is achieving the consent of the governed, which is the basic principle, the very first principle.

And you have in terms of being providing your consent, you have to have, you know, a guiding, solid factor that's involved in the operation of the government. In which case, when you talk about the Constitution and you talk about its original meaning, you mean the Constitution, what it meant, as it was written at the time it was written. And you do not change the Constitution by virtue of a changing opinion or thinking that it should be changing in modern days. The Constitution is law.

And it's sort of no different than, you know, a stop sign doesn't mean, you know, when you go pull up to it and you kind of glance both ways and you sort of slow down but roll through it. No, it means stop, you know. And so when the Constitution says the President shall faithfully execute the laws, that's what it means. What it means is no establishment of religion. That's what it means. When it says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. That's what it means. And anything else means that a judge that goes outside those boundaries has set themselves up as defining what the law is and making the law malleable to their opinion. In which case, nobody can organize their life or organize how they go forward based on the Constitution and the laws promulgated thereunder. If some judge can just make it up as they go along.

And that's a disservice to all of us. And when somebody talks about the living Constitution, which by the way, that phrase never passed Katonji Brown's testimony. She didn't talk about being original. She didn't even talk about being a living Constitution. But it's clear how her diversion from sentencing that sentencing laws passed by Congress, how she did not follow the law as a judge indicates that she will not follow the Constitution as written, which will upset the apple cart of all our lives, meaning that we will have nothing that's dependable, nothing that's a guiding principle, you know, like, like, you know, the Ten Commandments, they don't mean that you should consider not killing, you know, it doesn't mean, you know, be okay to their false witness once in a while, you know, that's not what they call commandments for a reason. And that's what the Constitution is, should have that kind of respect.

And then everything else is wrong. And so people that want to have it be malleable and Miss Katonji Brown seems to have everything malleable. And so this is this is the problem with with her, her approach to the law, she won't even say what her judicial philosophy is, or what a woman is, you know, this is, she's hiding everything. Well, it's you, you really need to know when you're going to vote for a Supreme Court justice, you need to know and, you know, it shouldn't be something that is just spoken about, you know, hush, hush, in private quarters. You know, those kinds of things I respect, you know, when Kavanaugh when others said, I can't say something that's going to directly speak to a case. And that's what the democrats would do.

They'd say, well, you know, here's this situation, how would you decide? You can't talk about that. I get that. But that's not what we're talking about here. And it is important.

And when you look at her record, that's the thing that scared you getting up in the morning feeling like you and your bed had a bad night still tired, stop, it doesn't have to be that way. That's why Mike Lindell started my pillow. And after his success, helping people sleep better with the pillow, Mike decided to go all in.

In our final segment, my good friend Rick Manning, Americans for a Limited Government President, co-hosts with me. By the way, you can find an article of mine at The Daily Torch and I encourage you to check the article out. I've had a lot of good positive response from it and it is entitled The Root of American Conservatism.

The Root of American Conservatism, but get over to Daily Torch. There's lots of good content up there and you should definitely check it out. Joining us as our guest on the program, he was with us yesterday, but look this story is building and there's a number of things that he didn't get to share yesterday that we are hoping to get to today. I want to welcome the former CIA station chief who was stationed in one of Russia's satellite countries, if you will, but after the fall when they were no longer a satellite, but there was still a lot of Cold War tension in the air. I want to welcome Scott Eulinger to the program. Scott, welcome. Good to have you back. Thanks.

Great to be back. By the way, I read your article. It was very good.

I posted it on my Twitter. It is a very good article, so I recommend you listeners check it out. Well, thank you for that.

Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate that. Two people whose opinions I very much respect, you and Rick, and I'm appreciative of y'all saying that. So Scott, yesterday as we were getting off air, there were a couple of other things that we were kind of dispelling a lot of the disinformation and talking about that, but there were some other things that you wanted to kind of bring into the conversation. Talk to me again some more about, you know, what you're seeing out of Putin and what you're seeing from the Ukrainian people.

Right. Well, like I said, no one, you know, just because you're anti-Russian invasion doesn't mean that you're blindly loyal to, let's say, Ukraine, for instance, because apparently now there's a video out of some Ukrainian troops committing atrocities against Russia, like shooting them in the kneecaps, prisoners, things like that, you know, on a small scale. But what I'm saying is, you know, that's something that has to be investigated, whether you support Ukraine or not, because that's a war, you know, that's a war crime.

It should be investigated the same way that such things were investigated by the U.S. military when there was an accusation that U.S. military personnel had, you know, basically committed war crimes. So, you know, that's, that's that. I happen to be looking. Oh, go ahead. Well, no, I was just going to say, remember, you know, and I guess I need to get this out more on a more public way, and I'll see if we can't get that accomplished. But I had sent out yesterday, and I believe I sent you a copy of it, the temporary acting minister of defense of the RF Army, General D. Bulgakov. And he says in here, first of all, he says, due to increase of the cases of Russian troops becoming POW in the events of special military operation in Ukraine, and publications in different media of the cases of benevolent treatment of POWs in the territory of Ukraine, which in its turn increases the feeling of RF's troops, that they can avoid their responsibility of military duty in the territory of Ukraine, the following order is given.

Develop and spread the series of video materials demonstrating an inhumane behavior of the Ukrainian military, as well as nationalist formations in the territory of Ukraine towards volunteer POWs. I mean, this is the exact disinformation that they said they were going to put out. And you just said that they're putting it out. Right, or it has to be investigated. I mean, it may be legit, but it may not be and it's going to be very hard to figure out what is it was a video that some people looked at, they say, definitely somebody speaking Korean accent in Russian, but even that doesn't mean anything. Nope, pretty hard to get to the, to get to the truth of the matter, but it should be investigated.

But it's under spread. It's definitely understood that it's in Russia's interest that the Ukrainians are known as not friendly captors, but potentially hostile ones, because that's less of a motivation for them to deserve. I'm actually reading a book now on the first world war in Eastern Europe.

And I literally just read the exact same thing this morning. Basically that, you know, the rumor, the Russians put out the rumors that prisoners were not treated well, because they didn't want anyone potentially surrendering or defecting. And the problem is, and the problem is, according to what pastor Vitaly has said, and the sources from there on the ground in the Ukraine, the Russian soldiers are coming into these villages. And what they're, what they're actually looking for is, is they're, they're scavenging for food, because what, what he has been hearing from the soldiers and, and some of the contact that they've had, I don't know that he directly, but, but like literally only one person removed. And the Russian soldier is saying, look, we, we, we don't want to be here. We were sent here with rotten rations.

We're starving to death. That's the reason the convoy stopped outside of Kiev because they ran out of gas and they ran out of food. That's right. I was reading some postings and again, they could be true or they could not be true.

But what I'm saying is they do fit a little bit of a historical pattern. They had apparently a conversation going on between a Russian soldier and maybe another soldier with someone back in Russia, where the unit was saying that they had actually just eaten a dog because they, because the rations were not, are just, you know, like cold and expired. And so they actually stated that they ate some kind of a dog because there were no sheep or anything else available.

They wanted fresh meat. So, and I have no doubt that that's happening at at least an isolated level. They also have conversations intercepted between Russian troops and their wives or sweethearts about how, Oh yeah, don't forget to, he's like, I've got, I stole some perfume. And then he's being told, Oh, well don't forget to get a, steal a computer for our little daughter to bring it back. So like some of these people are treating, you know, a war zone as some kind of a vacation trip, you know, and I have no doubt that that is, I don't know how widespread that is, but it's definitely occurring in the Russian army, you know, as it always had looting and, and also, and also reporting cases of rape as well. That's right. They killed the priest.

I keep telling this story because it was, you know, mainstream media won't pick it up. The priest, 10 miles from pastor Vitaly's village, the Russians came through the checkpoint, murdered all the guards at the checkpoint and killed the priest. The churches are located at the entrance to these little villages in the Ukraine. It's the first building you get to.

And they went in and they killed the priest. Right. Right. So there's also been, I was watching some Russian media and it's particularly interesting. Of course, it's all, you know, thoroughly propagandized, but kind of like with the Chinese state media, it's, it's important to understand like what message they're sending out.

And so there was a, there was a talk show and there was this one guy, his name is Solovio and he is like basically one of Putin's top propagandists. And so what he is going to say is sort of the party line. So you want to listen to what a guy like that said.

And apparently what he was saying was he said, so I'm, I'm reading this. His point is that any treaty Russia signs with Ukraine will mark its defeat, meaning the defeat of Russia. That's going to, that's going to be the beginning of the end. And this is an exact quote, like translated when Russia sent out an ultimatum to the West, it sent out an ultimatum also to itself. Russia has no right to lose. And if it does lose, it means that Russia has no, and this is again, this is exactly right out of the guy's mouth. It means that Russia has no power to even deal with Ukraine. Like in other words, we're such a joke.

We can't even defeat Ukraine. So the last quote was either win this operation or start the final countdown, meaning the final countdown, the end of the Russian state. So this is one of Putin's top propaganda guys saying this stuff. So I think that would reflect the leadership. And they're saying, if we don't win this, it's over. So that's, that's an interesting message to send. Scott, you bring up a fantastic point because, um, president Biden is basically said Putin has to step down.

It's a condition almost has the condition of, uh, of any piece. He's also said, Russia is committing war crimes, which may be a prison before the Hague. Um, and those things, you know, they might be committing war crimes as it's almost impossible in war zone, not to, I guess, but from a, but doesn't putting those kind of almost very personal lines in the sand, um, for Putin, for his, uh, for his carnies in the Kremlin, isn't it, isn't it almost reinforcing that point of view as there is no, there is no peaceful alternative here. It's, it's win or die. And with a country that has more nuclear weapons than we do, isn't it really dangerous? It is. It is. And that's why, uh, that's why Biden's statements have been disastrous because you don't do that with Russians.

You don't personalize it. You know, Trump had it right when he was giving a smile to them and saying nice things to Putin. And at the same time, he's sending missiles to the Ukrainian army, which is what Putin did, by the way, not Obama, Obama preferred to talk trash and not help the Ukraine. Trump was nicer to Putin and was giving them lethal weapons.

Yeah. It was giving the Ukrainians lethal weapons. In other words, he was building up the Ukrainian military to defend itself, which only makes sense.

What drives me nuts right now is people who are taking a position that would make one think that, Oh, you know what? Putin's somehow a good guy in any of this and, and Putin has a right to defend his territory and so on and so on and so on. Folks, Putin, Xi, Rossi, these are mortal enemies of the United States of America and the free world. We really better understand that.

This is Focus on the Family Minute with Lisa Jo Baker.

So here's a practical example. My sons are teenagers now and I barely survived the toddler years with them. And I wish someone had told me how great the teen years are. But I can call them on my way home now and say, hey, can you start dinner? Like get the beef going or put burgers on the grill. And these seem like semi-miraculous moments when you slow down enough to pay attention.

When you walk in the kitchen and there's a teenager with his beats on jamming to tunes while flipping burgers for you, there's something about that that completely surpasses whatever the silver screen is selling because it's real and it's happening in my kitchen.

And now back to Chosen Generation with Pastor Greg.

And welcome back to Chosen Generation Radio, where no topic is off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses. And guys, you guys were talking in the green room about, you know, the messaging that Joe Biden is sending and the obviously the reaction that Putin's going to get or is going to give relative to that. I don't remember which one, but you mentioned about the 82nd Airborne and Biden making a comment that, you know, they're going to be seeing the Russians up close and personal very soon. Zelensky hasn't asked for that.

He didn't ask for us to send special ops or troops over there to fight this fight for them. You know, and I get it. But then you have people that will say, well, see, here's the justification for Putin's response. I get it, except that bottom line here, Putin invaded the Ukraine eight years ago and has been in their territory the entire time making threats and and and trying to cause them issues. Right, exactly. Yeah, that's right.

That's true. I just take that from a standpoint of recognized and trying to take a look at things and how Putin would receive them. It's not an excuse for anything Putin does. But if you sit there and you think, you created an environment where he has he's hearing from the U.S. president that there's a plan to invade, that if you use chemical weapons, we'll use them back at you. You know, by the way, Putin, we think you have to be deposed before there can be peace. That sends quite a message to a to a person who is might be tenuously holding on to power. And it's a dangerous message because you need somebody to feel that they can get out of this alive. That's right.

Sun Tzu, the Chinese philosopher, said that you must build your enemy a golden bridge with which to escape, to get away from the combat, like in other words, give them an excuse to stop combat. And so and we're definitely not doing that. We're doing the opposite. And that's unfortunately because we have a president with dementia who doesn't who doesn't follow the script. I mean, it's it's a sad fact. But and certainly the Russians know that as well. But that makes them probably even more nervous because they realize that he has dementia.

And they're like this. This old man may launch a nuclear attack on us. I don't know. And of course, none of this is justifying what Russia did. But the job of an intelligence service is to read the Russians and to try to predict their next move based on our moves. Now, the latest thing I saw is that the Kremlin has leaked information. So this may or may not be true that right now, the minister of defense show you and Putin are in two separate bunkers, nuclear bunkers in Siberia, that they've relocated because of perhaps some of these recent statements by Putin by Biden.

And so, you know, they're just hunkering down. Does it mean they're preparing to launch an attack? But maybe it means they suspect some kind of attack, you know, and this is an example of maybe how misunderstandings and sometimes go out of control.

And so, you know, I don't know if that's an example of how misunderstandings and sometimes go out of control. Well, but our intelligence community is in complete and total disarray. Brand new article that's out at the Epoch Times. The CIA officer who signed a letter along with 50 others claiming that the what was it? Yeah, the Biden laptop was, you know, Russian disinformation.

You know, I mean, our own intelligence community right now, unfortunately, we've talked about this guy, is working against our country and its interests and its best interests. And Biden, by cutting off our energy source, you've got Putin now who's threatening that he's going to demand rubles for payment. We've got oil tankers sitting off the Gulf right now, Russian oil tankers, that we've agreed to pay for the oil that's on those tankers. So, I mean, you know, we're funding, we're abandoning our own petrodollar to pay rubles to Putin to fund. Because we won't drill our own oil, right? And that shows you further the madness that is the Biden policy. So, here we have a president who is trash talking Vladimir Putin, but yet at the same time, because he refuses to pump US oil, he has to go to the Russians hat in hand and help use them as an intermediary with the Iranians to conclude a nuclear deal, because it's all about getting oil that we refuse to pump ourselves. I mean, you couldn't make a comedy that depicted all of this stuff.

And people would say it's unrealistic, but this is exactly what's happening. It's Shakespearean. It is. It's Shakespearean. I hadn't heard that before.

It's very appropriate. Especially it's a tragedy. Well, that was Shakespeare.

Shakespeare's comedies were all tragedies. Yeah, it's a, Steve, what's the pathway? You know, obviously we don't have much time, but what's the pathway? Is there one minute, what would you do if you were the US government right now that there's a pathway in this situation? Wow. I mean, that's a tough question.

I really, I don't know. I mean, I think what we're, I think despite Biden's missteps, I think what we've done is fairly good, notwithstanding some stupid statements made. I think the more or less the appropriate level of resolve is there. We can't do a no-fly zone.

We can't do things like that. Um, and, and maybe now because of events on the ground, maybe peace or some kind of negotiation is, is expected. On the other hand, what the United States must be careful not to do as well as Europe is as the peace talks, I don't care if they drag on for six months, a month or a week, we cannot decrease the export of weapons to Ukraine because that's what the Russians want us to do. If the Russians, if they talk about how great the peace prospects of peace are, they're hoping that that will cut the resolve of the West and we will slow down our shipment of weapons and basically decrease the ability of the Ukrainian army to fight. So as long as we keep on doing that throughout the peace, then Russia will see that it's not going to be necessarily like, we're not going to be able to prey on a weaker, like dictate terms because, um, we're dominating on the battlefield thus far. They haven't been dominated by the battlefield. They, they haven't dominated and we have to continue to ensure that the Russian army does not dominate on the battlefield. My follow up to that would be like, yeah, no, my follow up to that would be also, we, we've got, we've got to change our energy policy. That has to happen immediately. There's no question about immediately immediately immediately immediately you've got to change our energy policy because the problem that, that we're going to run into here is, is that you're going to, Europe's going to have to fold. Europe doesn't have any options right now because we're not on the playing field there. That's right.

Who did they turn to for energy? Putin's got them over a barrel and he knows it. Yeah. There's no question about that.

Like I was, I was looking too tightly at the military stuff. No, no, no. You're right. You're right.

You're right. The more important piece, the oil is the most important. Ultimately, pastor Greg, immediately what we have to do is we have to change our Iranian policy. You change our Iranian policy. Saudi Arabia pumps oil and then they restart the pumps. And that's how, that's how, um, Europe gets fed in terms of oil and, and UAE and others will be providing natural gas and expanding their natural gas, um, provision. And so immediately, you know, pumping is, it takes three months to get really going in terms of the U S increasing capacity immediately ending the Iranian policy that, um, Biden has and turning back to Saudi Arabia and saying, we're not going to fund terrorists. That opens up the spigot. That's all that takes.

Yeah. And I laugh, Rick, my audience is going to see me laughing here. I laugh because it's actually the Russian Iranian policy because the dimwit that's sitting in the white house has Russia of all people negotiating our position on the Iranian matter. I mean, like you said, you, you wouldn't, you couldn't write this. If you wrote this as a script, they wouldn't accept it. They wouldn't take it. They'd say it's too far-fetched. It's too crazy. It's too unbelievable. Nobody's going to buy this. We're not going to accept the script.

That's how radical this is folks. Here's what we need to do as believers. You need to be praying, diligently praying against the evil and the satanic darkness. At the end of the day, when I stand before my God, I do not want him to ask me, what did you do with the world that I sent my son to die for and redeem? How did you fight the good fight to share the good news and keep evil in check?

How did you shine your light and be a beacon of truth in the darkness? Did you shrink back in fear when they demanded you change my message? Did you call evil good and good evil? Did you forsake my love for that of another, lying with the adulterer and setting up a new idol in your life? Have you defiled yourself through compromise and tolerance of that which I call an abomination? Have you innocent blood on your hands for the children murdered on your watch and the young ones perverted in their way by evil men, seeking their own comfort and reviling me?

No. At the end of the day, I want him to simply say the evidence is in. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. I love my God and I love his creation and I will go to my grave telling the world that evil is evil and only God is good and Jesus came to save the world. That no matter the evil in the world, I will never give up and in spite of the hate, I will love in truth.

God bless you all and may love remove the veil so you all might enter into his rest. Next. Sexual predators and comprehensive sex education both break down inhibitions. That's what they start with. They also gain trust with the child and then slowly start to get them towards sexual activity.

Anything goes. You are teaching children adult child sex. You're teaching transgender issues and children are moldable and influenced by that. They said, okay, now we need you and your team to be able to explain what homosexuality is to a four-year-old student. To introduce this kind of material at that age, frankly, it's child abuse. You're going to teach our children that it's okay for any two children of any age of any sex to have sexual intercourse with each other as long as two components are present. One's using a condom and they both give consent.

Did I hear that correctly? It's not a neutral venue. There's no such thing. Okay, the schools are doing your job. They are discipling your children, but they're not discipling them in the faith of Jesus Christ. It's only the exceptional child that even survives that system. Most do not survive.

Most have not survived. They believe that children are sexual from birth and that they deserve and have the right to be sexually active and to seek sexual pleasure. And if anyone is stopping them from that, then you are judging and oppressing them. Even kindergarten now, they're wanting to teach them more and more perverse information and acts and put that into the children's minds. And once that poison is in a child's mind, it doesn't leave. They'll always remember what they learned. And it's by design, it's orchestrated. In my humble opinion, it will be worse before it gets better.
