S1: and then gets you out there in the marketplace of ideas.
S1: But before you go, I want to tell you about
S1: this month's truth tool. It's called Have You Ever Wondered?
S1: And I absolutely love this topic because if you're like me,
S1: going out into the night sky and looking up and
S1: seeing a million stars, don't you just stop and think
S1: about God? And are you not in a moment of
S1: awe and wonder or looking out over the vast expanse
S1: of an ocean and you start thinking, what is man,
S1: that thou art mindful of him? And it makes you
S1: wonder about the magnificence of God? I think that sense
S1: of wonder was put there on purpose, and this wonderful
S1: book includes a composite of multiple authors who have written
S1: from their perspective as a scientist, or a historian, or
S1: a mathematician or an artist, on why they all have
S1: this sense of awe through the work that they do.
S1: In other words, the heavens declare the glory. And as
S1: it tells us in Romans, we are really without excuse
S1: because his handiwork is everywhere. And this book invites you
S1: to walk through the chapters written by people who all
S1: have a sense of awe and wonder when it comes
S1: to God through their various disciplines in life. It's an
S1: amazing book and it's yours. For a gift of any amount,
S1: just call 877 Janet 58. That's 877 Janet 58. Ask
S1: for a copy of Have You Ever Wondered? And we'll

S1: Have you ever wondered? And now please enjoy the broadcast.
S2: Welcome to In the Market with Janet Parshall. Today's program
S2: is where Janet and her husband, Craig, take some of
S2: the stories making headlines this week and offer their insight
S2: and analysis. Before they get started, let's take a quick
S2: look back at some of the highlights from the week.
S3: When I finally gave my life to Christ, after seeing
S3: that all the things I was hoping was true in
S3: my former worldview were actually true in the gospel message.
S3: I realized something else, C.S. Lewis said, and it was
S3: to me. It was just such a beautiful thing for
S3: him to say is, he said, that the great thing
S3: to remember is that though our feelings come and go,
S3: his love for us does not. It is not wearied
S3: by our sins or our indifference, and therefore it is
S3: quite relentless in its pursuit that its determination that we
S3: shall be cured of those sins at whatever cost to us,
S3: at whatever cost to him.
S4: We have to be willing to, uh, to find our
S4: identity exclusively rooted in who we are as male and female,
S4: made in the image of God and also, um, as, as, uh,
S4: coming into the kingdom of God through Jesus Christ. But again,
S4: we need to be, um, equally as honest about the
S4: things we wrestle and struggle with. I so I, I
S4: think it's very important, whether it's heterosexual stuff, LGBT things
S4: that we are open and vulnerable and have that place
S4: to share those issues and be prayed for and to
S4: be walked with and to experience that fully being fully
S4: known and fully loved.
S5: Iranians are trying to buy time, but Netanyahu is very
S5: smart in terms of long term planning. He says this
S5: is the time to destroy Iran. Trump says no, let's
S5: have a let's have a deal. Let's go for for now.
S5: So I look good. I stop them and I don't
S5: care much what happens long term. That's actually that's the
S5: difference between US policies, because the government changes every four years.
S5: And other nations that and the US U.S. the president
S5: has to think just short term. And that's the problem
S5: for long term threats like Iran.
S6: I got to a place where I said, Lord, I
S6: am so scared to trust you. But even that was
S6: a choice. It was not a feeling because I did
S6: not feel like trusting. I did not feel like surrendering.
S6: But it was a choice. And it was a little
S6: bit like David in Psalms, when he would make a
S6: declaration and he would say, bless the Lord, O my soul.
S6: I would tell myself, I am going to trust the
S6: Lord on this, and it doesn't mean I felt like it.
S6: And sometimes I had to tell myself a hundred times
S6: a day I would have to say, okay, I'm going
S6: to trust him. And then I try and take it
S6: back again and I'd remind myself, no, I am choosing.
S6: I am going to trust my Heavenly Father.
S7: He did donated some of his own land to build
S7: a church building, so they were not just going to
S7: meet together as Christians now. They were going to have
S7: a church building in that community. That may have been
S7: what what was sort of the last straw for the
S7: Muslims who had threatened him. They were watching what he
S7: was doing, and now he's saying, hey, here's some property.
S7: We're going to build a church on May the 15th.
S7: A man dressed in Muslim clothing came up to Ibrahim Muhammad.
S7: He said, this is your last day witnessing and then
S7: shot him three days later in the hospital, Ibrahim died.
S7: A man who laid down his life for the cause
S7: of Christ.

S8: four days after launch.

S1: month's truth tool, God draws us to himself through a
S1: sense of awe and wonder, and this book will help

S12: For years, the Iranian regime has called for the destruction
S12: of the State of Israel, planning and advancing concrete military
S12: plans to do so. Over the past few months, intelligence
S12: has shown that Iran is closer than ever to obtaining
S12: a nuclear weapon. This morning, the IDF began preemptive and
S12: precise strikes targeting the Iranian nuclear program in order to
S12: prevent the Iranian regime's ability to build a nuclear bomb
S12: in the immediate time frame. We have no choice. We
S12: are operating against an imminent and existential threat. We cannot
S12: allow the Iranian regime to obtain a nuclear weapon that
S12: would be a danger to Israel and the entire world.
S12: This operation is for a right to exist here, for
S12: our future and for our children's future. The State of
S12: Israel has the right and the obligation to operate in
S12: order to protect its people, and will continue to do so.
S12: The IDF conducted significant preparations for this operation. We are
S12: well prepared both in defense and offense to defend ourselves.
S12: The IDF will continue to defend the State of Israel.
S1: That's an IDF spokesperson talking about history being made as
S1: we speak. It started last night when Israel said, enough
S1: is enough. You were to come to the table. You
S1: were to negotiate. You are developing nuclear capabilities. You have
S1: declared to the world that you're going to wipe out
S1: the nation of Israel. It must be stopped. Craig Parshall
S1: is with me. So much news to cover this hour.
S1: We had an in-depth conversation on what's going on in
S1: Israel and their move against Iran and Iran's response today.
S1: By the way, this is going to be making headlines
S1: for quite some time. This is not going to be
S1: over in 24 hours, but if you want to hear
S1: our coverage on what's happened thus far, just download the
S1: podcast for hour one today in the market with Janet Parshall,
S1: and you're going to get our expansive coverage. But I
S1: want to bring you up to date on a couple
S1: of things so far. So this was called Project Rising Lion.
S1: Now that's very interesting because it really comes from a
S1: verse that talks about the lioness rising, and it's a
S1: verse that he wrote on the wall before Netanyahu went
S1: to the Western Wall and put in his verse. It
S1: also happens to be part of the Iranian flag, which
S1: is a lion. And there's some beautiful history here that
S1: cannot be ignored. Iran, like Israel, has been symbolized by
S1: a lion for 202,500 years, and now history comes full circle.
S1: It was Persia that, after 50 years of Israelite exile,
S1: enabled the restoration of Israel in Jerusalem. And now, 2500
S1: years later, Israel reborn repays the favor. With perfect symmetry,
S1: Persia's great civilization will be restored and its occupiers will
S1: be vanquished after 50 years. That is the hope and
S1: the prayer. Even an exiled prince of Iran has said
S1: it is time for the people to rise up. Now,
S1: will that happen? I don't know, but here's what we
S1: do know. We do know that their nuclear capabilities have
S1: been severely crippled, setback dramatically. We do know that the
S1: majority of the military heads have been eliminated as of
S1: last count. All but three with pinpoint precision, not massive
S1: bombs dropped over Iranian citizens. There is no beef whatsoever
S1: against the Iranian people. Paradoxically, the Iranian people are strongly
S1: in support of Israel. They're actually glad that whatever this
S1: peace talk negotiations at the table was going to be
S1: didn't happen. According to my friend Doctor Shariah head of
S1: Iran Alive Ministry. He said it would have been a
S1: temporary timeout, but it wouldn't have done anything to liberate them.
S1: They want to be able to breathe free. So will
S1: this be a moment when God flings open the door
S1: and the Iranian people are going to be set free
S1: without the heavy boot of the ayatollahs on their neck?
S1: I don't know, only time will tell, but the difference
S1: is Israel goes in with precision and pre-planning planning for months.
S1: By the way, Mossad is all over inside Iran. They
S1: were setting up capabilities to disable drones to be able
S1: to help with the intercept programs as the missiles came in.
S1: And they did come in more of that in a moment.
S1: And the reality is that, quite effectively, Israel has done
S1: a lot of work thus far in dismantling the program.
S1: They're not over by any stretch of the imagination. As expected,
S1: Tehran turned right around and started going after Israel with
S1: a record number of missiles. Today, over 200. Thanks be
S1: to God because of their great military capability, a lot
S1: of it U.S. technology. All but nine rockets were stopped
S1: and no deaths so far reported just a few injuries.
S1: So that's very good as we speak, by the way,
S1: apparently Israel is again responding again in Iran, the U.S.
S1: what's our role in all of this? Well, the president
S1: played like a fox and said he did publicly didn't
S1: know anything that was going to happen, when in truth,
S1: we now know that he and Netanyahu were in deep conversations,
S1: coordinating at least as early as the beginning of the week.
S1: And not only that, but we've made our presence known.
S1: We have two aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean. We have
S1: one in the Arabian Sea, and the United States is
S1: unapologetic about defending Israel. Hear my words defending Israel. They
S1: are not, under any circumstances, making any plans at the
S1: moment to go into Iran. They're defending our ally. But
S1: this is going to be a battle that Israel has
S1: to fight by herself. Now they've got some coordination. Jordan
S1: has allowed airspace where some of the drones have been
S1: shot down. Saudi Arabia has done exactly the same thing.
S1: So that looks like Iran is going to be standing alone,
S1: because quite frankly, that regime is a problem to that
S1: whole part of the world. And they might be trying
S1: to do this on their own. And systematically, things are
S1: being whittled down, their approach in response. Not a moral equivalency. No,
S1: just war theory for them. They come boom, they hit
S1: Tel Aviv and they're hitting heavily populated systems or centers
S1: in Israel. So not over any time soon. Craig. So
S1: how do we watch? How do we pay attention to this?
S1: And again, I think just looking. This is not unilateral warfare.
S1: People need to understand this, that the way the pre-planning,
S1: the precision that Israel is doing, the blanket missiles that
S1: Iran is firing tells you immediately out of the gate.
S1: The difference in perspective here.
S13: Yeah, I think you begin with asking a question what
S13: is the target? You know, when you look at military
S13: action and a military conflict, I think one of the
S13: questions you have to ask, particularly if it's a geopolitical
S13: one and there's all kinds of nations watching this, and
S13: it has implications for the United States, even if we're
S13: not directly in it. Who are the bad actors and
S13: who are the good actors? And one way to delineate
S13: and no nation is perfect and no nation is perfectly good.
S13: No nation is bad. No nation is completely bad because
S13: the people, even the people of Iran, they hunger for
S13: a democracy type government. They are under the boot, unfortunately,
S13: of tyrannical mullahs who have been running it since the
S13: Shah left So it's not the people we're talking about
S13: the government that represents the government or the the leadership
S13: that represents the government. So who are the good actors
S13: and bad actors? One way you can figure that out
S13: is say, who are they reasonably targeting in both their
S13: offense and defense? Well, uh, Israel has used pinpoint accuracy
S13: in going after military leadership, going after terrorist scientists who
S13: are helping to build the nuclear capability of Iran. Uh,
S13: you look at Iran's past conduct over the last couple
S13: of years. Recently, uh, the Atomic energy, uh, organization of
S13: the UN released a report saying they're hiding the football here.
S13: They're hiding nuclear materials and nuclear plans that they said
S13: they weren't doing. They were lying to us, basically. So
S13: that's a fact. They have to remember, uh, Iran's hatred
S13: for Israel. You have to remember that fact in terms
S13: of what the national leadership is saying and doing. So
S13: the history of Iran, by contrast to this pinpoint specificity,
S13: specificity and targeting of military targets by Israel for self-defense
S13: purposes and to disarm, uh, Iran's military. Iran, by contrast,
S13: deliberately is aiming at civilian populations. By the way, that's
S13: a gross violation of international law. Uh, it is a
S13: war crime to target civilian populations. And yet we have
S13: just seen within the last 24 hours Iran retaliate by
S13: sending rockets toward Tel Aviv, which is not a military installation.
S1: Exactly right. And I think it's important for us to
S1: point that out, because particularly and we're going to get
S1: to this during this hour when these, um, I'm loathe
S1: to call them rallies because I think they are fomenting protest,
S1: if not rebellion and mayhem. And we people of God
S1: need to be praying against that, because this is this
S1: is a movement that's promulgated by hate. It's hate toward
S1: the sitting president of the United States. It's hate towards
S1: some of the policies that some of these people disagree with,
S1: but it's also something far more nefarious. And that is
S1: the idea that I love the word that Michael Redlick
S1: used yesterday on the program. He called it an omni protest.
S1: So it's sort of like a salad. You just throw
S1: everything in it. So it's BLM, it's Antifa, it's socialists,
S1: it's Marxists, it's teachers unions, it's people being funded by
S1: foreign governments. And we're going to get into that this
S1: hour as well. And not only that, but they're telling people, hey,
S1: you're going to have to watch your safety here because
S1: is this going to be LA times 1800? I know
S1: they're not going to come into the United States of America.
S1: That was Freudian. They're not going to come into DC
S1: because tomorrow there's a major celebration of the United States
S1: Army who is celebrating their 250th 50th birthday tomorrow. They're
S1: going to have fitness contests. There's going to be a parade.
S1: I mean, it's really going to be an opportunity to
S1: honor our men and women in uniform. It also happens
S1: to be Flag Day. And that's why, uh, this these
S1: protesters are saying they're going to, quote, take back the
S1: American flag. Well, it was never stolen. We all live
S1: under it. So we're going to talk about some of
S1: the players behind it. But to Israel. Just a final word, Craig.
S1: How do we pray. Because this is not going to
S1: be this is going to dominate the headlines all weekend long.
S1: This is far from over. How do we pray?
S13: We pray for the leadership of Israel and the military
S13: to be safe, to be wise, uh, for the people
S13: to be protected, and also for the Iranian people to
S13: be protected, the civilian population to be protected. And if
S13: it be providential for the Lord in the timing right
S13: now to take away, to take out the current mullahs
S13: who are running the nation of Iran into the ground
S13: and punishing its people.
S1: And, Lord, may it be what a moment. So be
S1: praying for the Iranian people. Be praying for those in
S1: authority being be in prayer for those innocent citizens of
S1: both Israel and Iran, and pray that God's good and
S1: perfect will be done. This is an interesting time in
S1: history back after this. So we were just talking about Israel,
S1: and this is actually a pretty good segue into these protests.
S1: And I'm not going to call them rallies. And by
S1: the way, before we go any deeper into that story,
S1: Craig and I are lovers of free speech. We talk
S1: about the First Amendment continually. We're so grateful that the
S1: Founding Fathers had the wisdom to put freedom of religion
S1: and speech, assembly and press all together. Number one boom!
S1: It is the peg on which all other rights are hung. Why?
S1: Because they didn't have any of those things under a monarchy.
S1: It was a catalyst for revolution, thanks be to God.
S1: And so they had the vision to say, those things
S1: must be enshrined in our guiding documents, and they must
S1: be protected at all costs. Love it. I have an
S1: all comers policy. This program is called In the Marketplace
S1: and it isn't called in the kitchen, in the family room.
S1: It's called in the marketplace because the goal is to
S1: get us out there, to enter into the culture for
S1: the cause of the cross, to listen with the ears
S1: on our heart, and to share the good news of
S1: the gospel of Jesus Christ, which changes everything. How do
S1: we keep that good news to ourselves? But it doesn't
S1: mean once you get to the marketplace, you're not going
S1: to hear some crazy things. And there's some crazy things
S1: being said out there. So the center for American Progress
S1: is I'm not. I'm calling the plays between the bears
S1: and the Packers here. I'm not being political, but just
S1: if you looked at a political ruler, they would be
S1: on the hard left of that ruler. And they invited
S1: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to come and speak. And today
S1: he made a rather stunning statement. So this comes out
S1: of Israel. So just remember, when you hear the moderator speak,
S1: she already has a very crystal clear worldview, hard to
S1: the left. But I think you just have to listen
S1: with the ears on your heart to what you're about
S1: to hear. Have a listen.
S14: I don't think we can leave this discussion without just
S14: asking you broadly about, um, what happened last night. A
S14: very eventful day on many scores, but the fact that
S14: we have Israel striking Iran and, uh, you know, in, uh, escalatory,
S14: I think would be an understatement. So what are your
S14: thoughts on that?
S15: Yeah. Um. Deeply concerned. I think we know anything in
S15: the Middle East. And, look, I know there's a lot
S15: of folks here and across the country, um, the situation
S15: in Gaza is is intolerable. And it became a central
S15: focus in the campaign and I would say, rightfully so,
S15: human rights issues, how we're going to how we're going to,
S15: you know, try and attempt to get a two state
S15: solution where we can allow folks to live peacefully and
S15: coexist and have their own self control or self-determination. Uh,
S15: the issue now in the spreading of this and I
S15: have to be candid with you, I was there during
S15: the debates and I voted for the Iran nuclear deal.
S15: I think it was one of the, uh, the most. Well,
S15: and I said in there, just to be clear with
S15: the Russian ambassador, with the French ambassador, um, you know,
S15: with our negotiators, with everybody who was there to bring
S15: about the capacity to stop Iran's nuclear capacity. But in
S15: a way that was not so punitive that we would
S15: hamper some of their economic growth. Um, I truly worry now. I'm,
S15: you know, I'm sure there's great strategic thinkers in the
S15: Trump administration that have now have now said, how is
S15: this going to, you know, a tweet from the president
S15: today said, I told them, I told them they should
S15: have done something. And now here we are. Yeah. Here
S15: we are with the with the Middle East back on
S15: fire in a way that is now expanded. Um, with
S15: I don't I Iran has to retaliate in their mind,
S15: I'm sure. And now who is the voice in the
S15: world that can negotiate some type of agreement in this?
S15: Who holds the moral authority? Who holds the ability to
S15: do that? Because we are not seen as a neutral
S15: actor and we maybe never were. I don't want to
S15: tell anybody that. I think there's a lot of people
S15: that say, you always leaned one way in this, but
S15: I think there was at least an attempt to be
S15: somewhat of the arbitrator in this. We saw President Carter
S15: do it with Begin and Sadat. We've had certain wins
S15: along the way that were actually mutually beneficial both ways.
S15: Now I ask who that is. And I mean consistently
S15: over and over again, we're going to have to face
S15: the reality. It might be the Chinese. And that goes
S15: against everything they say they're trying to do in terms
S15: of the balance of power. So I would just have
S15: to say my heart goes out for this. Ukraine continues
S15: to go on. Gaza continues to be a humanitarian disaster,
S15: and now it's expanded even further.
S1: Wow, wow. Okay. I want to make sure you heard
S1: that part. Stephen, play clip number 18. Just listen to
S1: this again, please.
S15: President Carter, do it with Begin and Sadat. We've had
S15: certain wins along the way that were actually mutually beneficial
S15: both ways. Now I ask who that is, and I
S15: mean consistently over and over again. We're going to have
S15: to face the reality. It might be the Chinese.
S1: Okay, I'm not being political, but I am going to
S1: use the brain that God gave me. So first of all,
S1: that was a pivot. And I know he was an
S1: assistant football coach, so he understands that. But the reality
S1: is she asked about Iran and she called it quote,
S1: this was again left leaning moderator. She called it an escalation.
S1: Here's the facts. I know there are stubborn things. They
S1: get in the way, but they had 60 days to
S1: come to the table. On day 61, Israel said, that's it.
S1: This had been in planning for quite some time because Israel,
S1: knowing Iran was not going to come to the table,
S1: knowing Iran calls for the continued annihilation of the Zionist
S1: regime there, the little Satan. The U.S. is the Great Satan,
S1: knowing that they were, according to intelligence sources, months away
S1: from taking their missiles and topping them off with nuclear capability.
S1: Israel said that's enough. And again, with pinpoint precision, they
S1: go in, they eliminate the military leaders. Just a handful left. Again,
S1: not collateral damage to innocent citizens. And they go in
S1: and they destroy the nuclear plants themselves. He does a pivot.
S1: He goes immediately to Gaza, which is not the situation
S1: they're talking about at all. Then he talks about the
S1: Middle East being on fire. Really? Because Jordan has allowed
S1: now U.S. and allied forces to fly into Jordanian airspace
S1: to shoot down Iranian drones, as has Saudi Arabia. If
S1: that's a fire. Give me more. I like that kind
S1: of protection. But then he turns to a communist regime
S1: and says they're the ones who can broker peace. Wait
S1: a minute. Communist China, who has made the declaration that
S1: they want global hegemony, they're going to control the entire Earth,
S1: and they'll stop at no means. So Monday, I'm going
S1: to talk to Bill Gertz about this. So let me see.
S1: They're bringing in toxic materials to try to, uh, uptick bioweapons. Weapons.
S1: They're infiltrating universities, they're buying up farmland, they're hacking our computers.
S1: They're trying to wreck our economy. They're trying to kill
S1: Americans without bullets. Let's do it with fentanyl instead. That's
S1: who's going to broker peace between Iran and Israel. By
S1: the way, for the record, it isn't a matter of
S1: brokering peace, brokering peace. It's a matter of Iran getting
S1: rid of their nuclear weapons. Yes or no? More after this.
S1: As a Christian, how do you digest the cultural issues
S1: of our day and in the market? We believe that
S1: understanding happens when we bring biblical truth to expose the
S1: darkness in our world. That's what we do every day
S1: and in the market. May I ask you to join us?
S1: When you become a partial partner, your monthly gift ensures
S1: this daily program continues. Become a partial partner today by
S1: calling 877 Janet 58 or go to in the market
S1: with Janet parshall.org.
S15: President Carter do it with Begin and Sadat. We've had
S15: certain wins along the way that were actually mutually beneficial
S15: both ways. Now I ask who that is. And I
S15: mean consistently over and over again, we're going to have
S15: to face the reality. It might be the Chinese.
S1: I can't even begin to understand where he would pull
S1: that from. They are a rogue, dangerous regime. They are
S1: not our friend by any stretch of the imagination. And
S1: they they're building their nuclear capabilities at record speed, but
S1: they're going to advise Iran on how to handle their
S1: situation with their nuclear warheads. What? Teach them how to
S1: build more supply the uranium.
S13: One of the worst mistakes leadership can ever make is
S13: either the failure, the cowardice, or the ignorance in recognizing
S13: who our real enemies are and then preparing to defend
S13: our nation and our people against those threats. I speaking
S13: of Iran. I remember back during the Obama administration that
S13: I was very, very troubled. And a lot of people
S13: were when we sent a $1.7 billion to Iran. They
S13: had violated sanctions, they had violated international law, and we
S13: stopped their money. That was in American banks. It never
S13: should have been released. $1.7 billion in cash in jets
S13: flown over to Iran. The same kind of leadership then
S13: that are still there. How much of that money was
S13: used to accelerate their nuclear plans of aggression? We don't know.
S13: But failure to recognize our enemies. Now to Tim Koch. Tim, really?
S13: Do you really believe what you're saying? Um, because China
S13: is a bad actor in terms of its intent toward
S13: the United States. The evidence, Janet is so replete. In fact,
S13: you cover it on a regular basis on your program, uh,
S13: cyber threats. In fact, uh, general Jack Keane recently said
S13: China is conducting the greatest hostile penetration in the United
S13: States adverse to us since our founding, uh, all of
S13: Silicon Valley and both political parties. And we can't agree
S13: on very much in Capitol Hill recently between the parties.
S13: But everybody seems to agree that China is one of
S13: our greatest threats, particularly if their military and their technological
S13: innovations continue at the pace that they are right now.
S13: And yet China is going to broker peace. They have
S13: no interest in protecting Israel or being an honest broker,
S13: and certainly they do have an interest if they were
S13: ever to be put in that position, I don't think
S13: they will. I don't think there's any way in the
S13: world Israel's too smart. Uh, Benjamin Netanyahu is too smart
S13: to ever agree to a third party like China negotiating this. Never.
S13: But the mere fact it came out of Tim's mouth
S13: tells me failure to recognize, being afraid to recognize, or
S13: trying to paint an enemy as a friend, which then
S13: really raises a red flag.
S1: Exactly. And I'm sure that I'm sure that China would
S1: have Israel's best interests at heart. Right out of the gate. Right.
S13: And ours.
S1: Right. Right. All right. So now and I've gotten emails
S1: from listeners who have asked Craig and I to talk
S1: about this, so we'll be happy to do it. So
S1: it's called No Kings. And if you go to their website, uh,
S1: in America, we don't have kings. They've defied our courts,
S1: deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights,
S1: slashed our services. The corruption has gone too far. No thrones,
S1: no crowns, no kings. It's basically an anti President Trump
S1: rally and they're very well funded. And so here's the
S1: segue from China. Now I never thought I would be
S1: playing this audio, but Chris Cuomo showed up on News
S1: Nation and he started talking about the funding. In fact,
S1: he's not the only one. There's a whole myriad of
S1: people now that are starting to look at who's paying
S1: for this. The the masks that show up, the expensive
S1: hazmat masks, the signs that have been professionally produced, people
S1: that have been stopped on the street saying, why are
S1: you here? Because I got 200 bucks. I mean, so
S1: we know that some of them are caught up in
S1: the fury of this, and some of them might be
S1: doing it because it is their worldview and they think
S1: they're going to make a change. But some of them
S1: are absolutely paid agitators, and there's no question about it.
S1: I want you to listen to what Cuomo has to
S1: say about some of the funding for some of the
S1: things we've been seeing in our country lately. Have a listen.
S16: These protests are fed by dark sources with a desire
S16: for our destruction. One of the main players in organizing
S16: and funding the Los Angeles protests is a group called Chirla, L.A.
S16: Acronym Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights. They have received millions
S16: in government grants and state grants. But now reports are
S16: showing that there may be a foreign link specifically from
S16: China funding and organizing these protests. The pro-Chinese Far Left
S16: Party for Socialism and Liberation. They're known as the PSL.
S16: They are working with Chirla, helping fund the protests in
S16: Los Angeles and maybe elsewhere. Remember, all the parties in
S16: China are controlled by the CCP. So this is China
S16: and the party is pushing to destroy capitalism and the West.
S16: This is its agenda. This is what China wants. They
S16: even have a term for the effort. It's called the
S16: smokeless war, where they have this theory of how they'll
S16: destroy the West without actually taking to the battlefield. That's
S16: what they did during the anti-Israel campus protests. The PSL
S16: worked hand in glove with anti-Zionist student groups and helped
S16: organize and fund the Columbia campus encampments. Now it gets scarier.
S16: Where does the PSL get its money? Enter Shanghai based
S16: socialist billionaire Neville Singam. 2017 he sold his tech company
S16: for about a billion. Reports show the same year, he
S16: started funding far left groups like the PSL to the
S16: tune of millions. Singam is not America's friend. He has
S16: deep business ties to the CCP, but also has strong
S16: ideological ties to communism. Period. People who worked for him
S16: says he's an admirer of Mao, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez,
S16: not friends of American culture. According to The New York Times,
S16: Singam has funded and developed a deep global empire of
S16: pro-China non-profits in the media and grassroots political space, steering
S16: millions into these groups over the years, including the PSL
S16: and Guess Who was associated with the PSL and other
S16: Singam funded groups. Elias Rodriguez. Ring a bell? The 30
S16: year old Chicago man who murdered two Israeli staffers in
S16: cold blood last month to make a political point.
S1: Well, there you go. Now again, Craig and I share
S1: this because we don't have we don't have a spirit
S1: of fear. God did not give us a spirit of fear,
S1: but power, love, and of a sound mind. And so
S1: let me appeal to the sound minds among us. Again,
S1: this is part of the latter days, this lawlessness. I
S1: don't know where we are in the eschatological timeline. I
S1: know we're one day closer to Jesus return today than
S1: we were yesterday. And should he tarry and he doesn't
S1: come today or tomorrow, then we'll be one day closer
S1: by the time Father's Day arrives. But the bottom line is,
S1: is I think it's important, being a good Berean, to
S1: test all things and to understand that this smokeless war.
S1: Bill Gertz has talked about this. He talks about this
S1: in his books. And again, he will be joining me
S1: on Monday. And we're going to be talking more about
S1: the CCP. But when you understand that you could foment
S1: revolution within the parameters of a democracy like we have
S1: here in the United States. And you don't have to
S1: fire a bullet. It saves them a lot of time,
S1: energy and effort, doesn't it, to be able to simply
S1: cause a revolution. It's a Marxist technique. They Marxists say
S1: it's works for us. We can just get other people
S1: to do it. I'm looking at a flyer, by the way,
S1: right now, funded by a group that happens to be
S1: Asian Americans for Progressive America. They're organizing and calling for
S1: national anti-dictatorship parades. That's before the name. No Kings came
S1: up for what's going to happen tomorrow. And this is
S1: tied into something called the Global Ignition plan. And creating
S1: chaos in the United States has always been a part
S1: of the C.c.c. plan. And I'm not scared. God's in control.
S1: He's going to be on the throne today, tomorrow, the
S1: next day, and for all eternity. But I think it's
S1: imperative for us to understand that we have a more
S1: powerful weapon. I don't care how much Neville Singam's money
S1: is being thrown in there. I don't care about the
S1: Communist Chinese. I mean, I think it's important. I think
S1: you need to lift up the carpet and let the
S1: cockroaches be exposed to sunlight. But I think it's far
S1: more important that you and I understand that for those
S1: who have evil plans for tomorrow, that God stops and
S1: blows confusion into their camps. Let them express themselves freely
S1: if they want to. But the minute you start mayhem,
S1: property destruction, robbing stores, looting stores, hitting other people because
S1: they don't share the same worldview, you have crossed the line.
S1: And God created government in his order of his triune
S1: structures of family, government, and church before the church because
S1: he knew basically we were rebels at heart and that
S1: government was necessary to put in place a check if
S1: you didn't have Holy Spirit self control. And so all
S1: of this makes perfect sense when you put on the
S1: lens of Scripture. So Craig talked to me about this.
S1: So if even if the CCP is going to be
S1: funding this because they want cultural chaos, because we are
S1: the great enemy, they've declared that without hesitation. And so
S1: these protests tomorrow, if they look like LA, they could
S1: get messy, there could be property damage, and there could
S1: be illegal hurtful activity that takes place. Greater is he
S1: than is that is in us than he that is
S1: in the world. Talk to me.
S13: Well, I think followers of Christ in particular. Number one, prayer.
S13: Number two, participation in the civic experiment that I believe
S13: was birthed by the providence of God called American Constitutional Republic,
S13: that we have in a constitutional form of government. Um,
S13: it's important, by the way, this no king or no
S13: kings campaign. Uh, the slogan and I've gone to their
S13: site and you have to probably um, but their, their
S13: slogan is, uh, and they've put this on X used
S13: to be called Twitter. Uh, quote ice out of, uh,
S13: out of LA National Guard. Go away. And what they're
S13: saying is no kings. Um, and, uh, the government is
S13: being run like an autocrat. Well, in fact, it's not.
S13: As a matter of fact, those that didn't believe the
S13: National Guard should have been called went to court. And
S13: that's how our system works. That's how the rule of
S13: law works. And the judge ruled one way and then
S13: the appellate court when it got appealed. Oh, no. The
S13: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has now said no, not
S13: so fast. No, we're not going to say that, uh,
S13: the president does not have the authority to take over
S13: the National Guard. We're going to have arguments, and they're
S13: supposed to have arguments, oral arguments in a couple of days.
S13: That's the rule of law. Janet.
S1: Yeah, and that's the way it's supposed to work. We've
S1: got more on this when we return again. Check out
S1: our truth tool this month. Have you ever wondered if
S1: it really is about standing in awe of the great
S1: and glorious King? 877 Janet 58 gift of any amount
S1: I'm going to send it to you is my way
S1: of saying thank you back after this. Love him or
S1: hate him. X changed the world. And it's interesting because
S1: people who are going to be participating in No Kings
S1: are using that platform to get the word out, to
S1: have them join what are now about 1500 rallies that
S1: are planned all across the country big cities, small cities,
S1: by the way, and there are even people training you
S1: to get ready. Wait wait wait. If it's just a parade,
S1: we're going to exercise your free speech. Why do you
S1: need to be told never go by yourself. Cover all
S1: of your tattoos. Cover your face with a mask. I
S1: don't know, Craig. That doesn't sound a whole lot like
S1: we're just having a peaceful march down Main Street. Why
S1: are they making sure that they can't be identified? And
S1: by the way, if you believe in what you believe,
S1: why are you covering your face? Why aren't you just
S1: showing your face to the world?
S13: Yeah. You know, that's that's one of those common sense things.
S13: Wait a minute, wait a minute. You know, if you
S13: believe what you believe, then be proud and open and transparency.
S13: Speaking of transparency, um, some folks may wonder out there, um,
S13: you know, well, there are going to be some peaceful protesters.
S13: So a couple people get out of line and maybe
S13: throw some firebombs. But what about the peaceful. Right. Well,
S13: you know, our legal system has addressed that again, the
S13: rule of law. Do you either go to the rule
S13: of law or you say, well, you know, yeah, cars
S13: are being burned and police are being attacked and buildings
S13: are being set on fire, but, you know, free speech. No,
S13: that's not free speech. 2023 the US Supreme Court, in
S13: a case called Counterman versus Colorado, set the standard and
S13: made it real clear. Not some people are going to say, well,
S13: it's not that clear. The law is never, you know,
S13: precise like mathematics. But the Supreme Court said that free speech, uh,
S13: the boundary of free speech in, for instance, say, an
S13: assembly that gets out of line is whether the people
S13: who were sponsoring it and organizing it and promoting it
S13: and involved in it. Are they reckless? Uh, in presenting
S13: a substantial risk of harm to others? It doesn't. You
S13: don't even have to prove, by the way, to lose
S13: your First Amendment rights to free speech, that you intentionally
S13: went in and wanted a molotov cocktail thrown. Rather, if
S13: you plan something on the surface that you say is peaceful,
S13: but you know there's a really good chance it's going
S13: to go haywire and violent, then that's recklessness. And if
S13: it's reckless, the First Amendment doesn't protect you. So what's
S13: been going on in LA to my mind? And for
S13: anybody who's been watching those, uh, has clearly been something
S13: where the organizers had to know that there was a
S13: high risk and high degree of probability that exactly that
S13: would happen, which means this isn't free speech at all,
S13: by the way. The the funder of this, the this Neville, uh, Singham,
S13: who sold his business in 2017. A software program, uh, company. Uh,
S13: he was a Silicon Valley, uh, IT guy. He sold
S13: it for $785 million. There's a lot of cash, uh,
S13: to put into some of these fundings. And, uh, it
S13: isn't just some right wing or conservative site that talked
S13: about this. Um, the New York Times also, uh, tied him, uh,
S13: to the fact that he was, uh, directly connected, uh,
S13: with pro-Chinese propaganda. And that was the wording of The
S13: New York Times, uh, about a year and a half
S13: or two, two years ago. So, uh, it's well known
S13: that he is sympathetic to the Chinese cause. And it
S13: looks to me by funding these groups, he's very hostile
S13: to American interests.
S1: Yeah. Well, talking about hostile to American interests, how about
S1: American business? You've got Christy Walton, who's the heir to
S1: the Walton family fortune, i.e. Wal-Mart. She takes out a
S1: full page ad in the New York Times promoting the event.
S1: I find that interesting. And then you've got a bunch
S1: of other groups that are getting together for that date.
S1: You've got Andy Beshear of the governor of Kentucky, you've
S1: got Al Sharpton, you've got all kinds of other people
S1: like the American Postal workers, the American Federation of Teachers,
S1: the Communication Workers of America. So you've got a bunch
S1: of unions behind this, but then that doesn't count the BLM,
S1: the Antifa, the Black Lives Matter. And then, of course,
S1: the free, Free Palestine crowd will be in there as well.
S1: So obviously these are people with a particular worldview. Again,
S1: let me say declaratively, I celebrate free speech and an
S1: all comers policy, but will it just be an event
S1: where you're marching down the street and carrying signs, or
S1: will you loot? Will you hit? Will you cause property destruction?
S1: Will you do graffiti? Are you going to challenge police
S1: officers if you get out of range?
S13: And in fact, the legal standard is set by our
S13: highest court under our constitutional system of three tripartite organizations
S13: that run the country, which is the judiciary and the
S13: legislative and the and the chief executive, the judiciary has
S13: said the High Court has said you don't even if
S13: you don't intend it directly or there's no evidence of that.
S13: If you are reckless in basically, I don't care if
S13: the burning the buildings turn on fire. You've lost your
S13: First Amendment rights to claim a free speech, right to
S13: have those people there.
S1: But you got people at Columbia University. You can't draw
S1: the distinction between free speech and behavior. So as long
S1: as we blurred the lines of distinction that you can
S1: hit somebody, hate somebody, throw a molotov cocktail, and somehow
S1: that's protected free speech, then we've adulterated the First Amendment.
S1: By the way, if you're counting, there's about $2.1 billion
S1: from 198 companies. Trust me, when I get that list,
S1: I'm going to be sharing it on the air, uh,
S1: in revenues that are going to be used to help
S1: fund all of this. And so there are people now
S1: on Capitol Hill that are calling for immediate hearings to
S1: see where this to use Chris Cuomo's word, the dark
S1: money is coming from. And if you've got foreign entities,
S1: that is a violation of American law. You can't bring
S1: in foreign money like that to cause domestic terrorism.
S13: Let me read this headline from 2023 New York Times, quote,
S13: A global web of Chinese propaganda leads to a U.S.
S13: tech mogul. Just the person we talked about was and
S13: who lives in Shanghai, by the way, and is a
S13: supporter of China. And he is funding through his wealth
S13: made in Silicon Valley in our economic, uh, rule of capitalism,
S13: so that we can now be attacked by foreign money.
S1: So, again, so much for us to be praying for. Craig,
S1: I'm going to ask you to pray pray against the
S1: evil that might happen over the weekend. Pray for wisdom
S1: for what's going on in Israel, freedom for the Iranian people, uh,
S1: the annihilation of the nuclear program so that innocent people
S1: will not be killed. Pray.
S13: Father, uh, at home, we thank you for the Constitution.
S13: We thank you for the founders. Who? Many of them,
S13: if not most of them, followed the dictates of your
S13: word to establish a constitutional republic. We thank you for
S13: the rule of law. May it prevail. May the demonstrations
S13: be peaceful and restrained this weekend. And property, and more importantly,
S13: people would be protected from harm. And then we pray
S13: for abroad, father, that great nation of Israel, which is
S13: the apple of your eye, and you have written about
S13: in your word. We pray that you protect the people
S13: of Israel, the people of Iran. And you would, father
S13: give wisdom to those Israeli leaders and our leaders in Washington, DC,
S13: and you would deal in your providential sovereign power with
S13: those despots in Iran.
S1: And we pray this in Jesus name, Amen and Amen.
S1: Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. We'll
S1: see you next time, friends.
