Pocan Valley could become a sanctuary city of a different kind.
I'm proposing that the city of Spokane Valley issue of proclamation stating that our city is a Second Amendment sanctuary.
Today on Church and State, have we been lied to about Russia?
Hello Christian Patriots and welcome to Church and State where we drive morality and religion over tolerance and apathy.
And I'm your host, Caleb Collier, once again, your favorite far-right shock jock and the show that talks about politics and religion.
Jesus Christ is our referee.
so it's always nice and clean.
I'm going to take you over to church nstate.media
so that you can do a few things.
Number one, I want you to fill out this registration form
because you're going to get our newsletter
filled with all sorts of important stuff,
links to some of our most interesting guests for the month,
my observations on what's going on.
Of course, a plea for help.
But you also get a phone call.
Why people get more excited about the phone calls?
You like talking to me.
You need to have just really good conversations with people.
And they do say, like, most of them are genuinely surprised.
You really actually call people.
You don't hear about a lot of hosts.
Chris, you know of any other hosts that are calling people?
No, not off the top of my head.
I hope to, like, my vision, right, is that I get big.
So more people can hear the message.
I don't necessarily care.
I'm not like ego, even though Chris thinks I have an ego.
My mom doesn't think I have an ego, so they're.
Anyway, it's just so we need more people that are just telling the truth and don't care about.
They're uninvited to the political events.
I don't care.
I don't really care at all about that.
But I hope even if that does happen, like I can still call people.
I still want that.
Eventually it could come to a point where I'm like, I can't call everybody.
but I want to get to where I can call some people at least.
You'll have to call the other ones, Chris.
Yeah, that'll work out.
That's literally torture for Chris.
Anyway, also, while you're there, check out some of our most recent episodes
where we continue to cover just wild stuff.
That one, I don't think people understand the importance of that one,
of calling out the false flags.
And boy, it's not just me.
There's a lot of people calling out this latest shooter as a false flag.
It's completely fake.
People that were in the audience, that were in attendance there, are saying it was fake.
And boy, are people noticing, you're hearing, you're already hearing.
Like, people are like, oh, oh, so you don't believe in the moon landing either.
No, no, I don't.
I don't. Oh, I suppose you're one of those 9-11 truthers. Yes, I am. You're right.
But you see what they're trying to do to us, right? They've dumbed down the masses so much that now they believe that they don't even have to try.
They can literally say whatever they want. This story can have more holes than Swiss cheese and the masses will just accept it.
but there's a remnant
there's a group of people
who aren't accepting it
and so what do they have to do to us
they have to call us names
like conspiracy theorists
which was invented by the CIA
that term
so if you're part of that class
come out of it
and if you are part of the
class that I'm in
the classiest class
right Chris we're classy
uh huh
oh yeah yes
then don't
don't be bothered
if you're called names
don't be concerned about that
if you got somebody that's like
you're crazy
okay maybe I am
probably am
embrace it
you know what
the blind
and
it's like the algorithm
the allegory
right
was it Plato's allegory
of the
the shadows on the wall
oh yeah yeah right
like they're just being
showing what an image of a antelope looks like.
It's a flicker, the shadow on the wall.
But somebody escapes that, goes out sides and sees a real antelope and comes back to the
group to try to free them.
And it's like, no, no, no, no, they really look like this.
And they're beautiful colors, a brown, and they gallop.
It's amazing to see.
And the people are like, you weirdo, you whack job.
Look, there are some people that you just can't reach.
and you're going to have to be comfortable with that.
It's hard, especially when it's family.
You know what?
I'll tell you another story.
I'm just in a story mood, Christopher.
It's entertaining.
People are liking it.
Okay, yeah.
Are we done with the website?
Not yet.
I'm going to come back to it.
Keep it up, keep it up.
When I first married into my family, I was the crazy one.
Like my in-laws, all of them, including my wife,
they thought it was weird.
I still don't understand why she married.
me. It's the good looks. All right? I'm bringing a lot to the table. I hid my mind until I got the
ring on it. Put the ring on it, Chris, right there. Put the ring on it. And then I'm like,
time to black pill you. She's like, what did I marry? Now she's right there with me. And so is my
family. So give a time. Give patience. Pray into it. You too can wake everybody up. All right.
Also, check out some of our featured guests, people that have been just incredible interviews over the
years, different perspectives, don't always agree with all of them.
But they've agreed to come on the show, and we continue to bring some interesting ones.
Chris, I'm actually, it looks like I'm going to book a rabbi to have a discussion.
Whoa.
That's going to be fascinating.
I'll be polite.
You know, we can disagree and be polite and still be friends at the end of the day.
But that's what you can look forward to.
Also, peruse through some of those wonderful affiliates that we have.
I love these guys.
I love these affiliates that we have.
We're bringing on more Liberty cigars.
I just got, Chris, I just got the contract.
Nice.
So we will soon have Liberty Cigars on here.
Just amazing stuff.
But you're going to want to check these guys out and use the promo code,
Church and State with all of them.
Also, hit the donate button for us.
All right?
Keep us alive with NRBTV, Prepper Broadcasting Network,
newscasters.
I love these guys.
I love them because they've given me a platform,
and they don't censor me.
which is amazing.
All right, I told you the story of the guy I just talked about who said,
we're a very unique show.
Bingo, it's what we're going for.
All right.
And thank you to the platforms that continue to bring us on,
even though sometimes I say some controversial stuff.
But we need help.
We need help to stay on those platforms.
We need help to expand.
There's a lot of money that goes into this.
A lot of money that I just pay out of my pocket to continue to bring this information to you.
and the wife
Wait, you've got money in your pocket?
Not long, because it goes into this
and the family, of course.
But my wife wants me to stop paying money for this.
She wants a separation.
So help.
Help, please.
Hit the donate button.
All right.
Lastly, if you want to get a whole of us,
Church and State 1776, a proton dot me.
With that,
men don't, we don't get enough credit.
We're, like, we're genius.
and if we need like some alone time
if we need the ability to just decompress
we'll figure out ways
ladies I'm gonna get in trouble for this
I am gonna get in trouble for this Chris
men across the world
are going to collectively gasp at what I'm about to say
uh oh I know I'm giving away a secret
a trade secret of man
how dare you
I know.
Ladies, you know why men tinker in garages?
Any idea on that one?
Sometimes it's just to get away.
You just get away the chaos of the house.
Men don't really care that your best friend Jan,
that you guys are fighting because she said something that you took wrong.
And men are just like, oh, I would have just been like,
you're stupid.
If it was my friend, you know, like if Chris and I are in a Tiff, I'd just be like, you're dumb.
I mean, he'd laugh.
We'd laugh.
It's over.
Okay.
Let's get back to business.
But the ladies are like, oh, and she said this.
And you have to be like, uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, I'm paying attention.
Oh, wait.
I've got a project in the garage right now.
Exactly.
You know how you wanted me to fix that stuff?
I'm being handy.
I'm going in the garage.
Just a look at my tools.
I'm going to organize.
the screws and the nails.
I got them all in a big jar,
but right now I'm going to take the time
to separate the screws and the nails.
Sorry, guys.
That's going to save time later.
I know, yeah.
Well, I probably shouldn't release that.
But anyway, I found a video online,
and I have just got to applaud
this man for his ingenuity.
He needed some time away,
some separation from the family.
He figured it out.
Go ahead, Chris.
I love the music.
This guy has two young babies.
He's clearly been left to his own devices.
You know what?
He needs to be able to have a cup, right?
A cup with some glasses that the babies aren't going to reach over and grab and knock over.
He wants to be able to watch some TV.
He's still watching the kids, but he took the baby gates.
He gave the kids free reign to the house.
He just put the baby gates all around.
him.
It's brilliant.
Chris is nodding his head in approval.
You ever do anything like this?
I cannot confirm nor deny.
I did not.
I did not do anything like this.
And I got to tell you, I should have thought of this.
I should have been more clever.
A wife would have come home and been like,
what are you doing?
What?
They're fine.
They're actually able to move around more than I am right now.
It's perfect.
But he has everything.
he needs right there. I tip my hat to you, sir. You have figured out a way to beat the system.
And that's what we're all about here on Church of State. With that, and I intentionally brought up a
funny thing, because now I've got to go into the disturbing stuff. Look, you've heard me on this show.
I talk about Epstein a lot. And there's a reason for that. There's intentionality to that.
Because I can't let you forget. I can't let the American. I can't let the American.
public forget that our leadership is a bunch of satanic pedophile cannibals.
It's disgusting.
And by the way, let me back up for a second here.
Ladies and gentlemen, not content for kids.
Okay, I think I'm one of the few hosts out there that'll tell you,
turn me off if you have children in the room.
All right?
This is not the kind of stuff that you want to subject them to.
So if that's the case, I'll see you later when you're kids.
kid free and you can actually listen to this stuff. With that being said, there's your warning.
Now let's talk about it. Let's talk about Epstein a whole lot more because we can't let this subject die.
We have new reports coming out. Multiple men drugged and raped at Super Predator Epstein's Secretive New Mexico Ranch.
You forget about that, don't you? Everybody talks about Epstein's island. You forget that there were
multiple locations. And by the way, there's multiple Epstein's as well. This isn't,
just one individual, this super predator, this is one of those trafficking with the elites,
the high-level individuals all across the world so that he could have leverage on them.
You think it's just him? You don't think foreign countries, foreign nations, foreign governments
are engaging in this all over the place? Yeah, absolutely. Epstein's the one we know,
but there's a lot of other ones out there. And just like with Epstein Island, there were multiple
locations disoccurring. This is a super private remote mansion out there in the middle of nowhere
New Mexico had its own private airstrip. It was actually on both a combination of public and
private land. Interesting to note that there was public land that this was occurring.
It had a mansion, it had a pool, it had a log cabin. In fact, a very famous image.
of Epstein and Maxwell sitting together,
just enjoying each other's company as they look off.
In fact, Chris found it right there.
As they look off into the woods.
They just look like a happy couple right there, don't they?
This is at that New Mexico ranch.
Do people notice that?
That's not an island.
There's no palm trees that's in the woods.
Yes, New Mexico has woods too.
This was all there.
And they were bringing in kids from all over the place and molesting them, raping them, drugging them.
They actually said things that they were looking for the perfect genetic baby.
That's a rather odd statement.
But that's one of the things that they were engaging here.
Almost like they're still participating in eugenics.
But eugenics got a bad name for itself due to the fact that Adolf Hitler,
just grabbed hold of that. Yeah, we're eugenics too.
They don't talk about eugenics anymore, but they're still doing it.
They still believe that.
Yeah, Chris brought it up.
Transhumanism. What do you think it is? It's just another name for eugenics.
That's what the people are engaged in, these sickos.
There's also even more.
There's bodies buried here, according to some of the people that were the victims.
of these horrific crimes.
That there were women,
they were strangled,
and their bodies were buried on this property.
There's also people that are,
there's people that are proving,
without a shadow of a doubt,
that it wasn't just people being flown in.
There's a town close by.
They were grabbing people from there as well,
and the law was turning a blind eye to it.
It's incredibly troubling.
And I want to point this out to you as well.
You know one of the individuals who's really fighting for justice here?
A woman by the name of Melanie Stansbury.
She's a Democrat congresswoman for New Mexico.
I'm going to tell you, this right here goes to prove something that I've been saying for a long time.
We've got to get out of this deep state narrative.
We've got to get out of the tribalism.
I probably disagree with this Democrat congresswoman on certain things.
Probably the sanctity of life and the role of government.
But she has stuck her neck out there, and I would tell you there's a great risk in doing so.
She has stuck her neck out there for the victims of this crime.
Look, stop making excuses.
I got on the social media of this.
I was looking.
And one of the very first comments was against Democrats.
was against Democrats.
Ah, this is a Democrat to me.
They covered this all up.
And somebody else came on and responded to him.
It was like, Biden's hands were tied.
This is all on Trump.
And I'm like, you're missing the point.
Knock it off.
Stop it.
Feel like that guy I want to put myself in baby gates.
Separate myself from you too.
Stop with the fighting.
I'm dealing with my kids over here.
He touched me.
She took my toy.
You understand how ridiculous you sound?
I don't care if it's the Democrats.
I don't care if it's the Republicans.
I want justice, and so should all of you.
You think these victims care if a Republican or a Democrat helps them?
You think that's the first thing they say?
Somebody comes to them and says,
I understand that you were a victim of Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell,
that you were raped, that you were trafficked, you were drugged.
Do you think the first thing the victim's going to say is,
are you a Democrat?
Are you a Republican?
Oh, you are?
Sorry, on the opposite side.
I don't care about that.
I will only deal with the Republicans.
I will only deal with the Republicans.
You think they care about that?
Not at all.
They're just...
I'll tell you right now.
they are just so thankful that somebody is finally paying attention to them as somebody is finally trying to get them
justice that's what matters to them and that's what should matter to us to all of us if you are a human
being you naturally because god put this in you when he created you you naturally want to help
those who are hurting.
Sure, there's some outliers, some psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists.
They don't have that same.
Their DNA, wiring is all screwed up.
But generally speaking, people want to help those that are in trouble.
That's what matters.
Not what political party you are.
Not if you reveal this information that it might hurt the political party that you're a part of.
I saw that image.
I don't even know if you could find this, Chris.
Actually, can you search this up and see if you can find this?
It was an old man.
And it was his shirt.
He had a shirt that says, I don't care if Trump is a pedophile.
And he had a maga hat on.
And somebody proved that, no, this is not AI.
This is an actual picture.
This is an actual shirt that this gentleman was wearing.
imagine that
imagine that
disconnect
where you don't care
you don't care if children
are being harmed
because your guy
is
a good guy
your favorite guy your team
just twisted
beyond doubt maybe look at
images Chris maybe it'll come up on
images I'm not sure
I know Snopes is saying
It's false, but it's Snopes.
Snopes is disinformation.
Everybody knows it.
Oh, there it is. There it is. Right there?
I don't care if Trump is a pedophile.
Just wow.
That's absolutely beyond me that a human being could get to that point.
Look, I won't shut up about the Epstein files.
I won't shut up about the victims.
And I'm going to ask you the public.
to ensure that you guys don't follow the status quo.
You don't follow a specific agenda, right?
It's important, ladies and gentlemen.
It's extremely important.
Are they saying that image is false now, Chris?
Look, I don't want to do false reporting.
Yeah, this is what Snope says the real...
So this is what...
Okay.
So I could be wrong.
I saw somebody who said that he had, nope, this is an actual picture, that he looked at it,
he reversed engineered it, but look, if it was a Trump Pence shirt, then it's a Trump Pence shirt.
And I don't want to be accused of false information.
So if that's wrong, I'm wrong, and I apologize for it.
But it still goes to speak of the greater purpose, the greater intentionality behind all of this.
There are far too many people that are excusing their favorite politician who may or may not be on the Epstein list.
if you're not on it, you say you're not on it, then release it, prove it to the public.
I think us, and especially the victims, deserve that.
With that, let's talk about something else.
Let's talk about dispensationalism.
I love it.
I love it.
I was just having a conversation with a friend of mine.
And he says, I love that image too, Chris, by that.
Point of view, you're a pre-millennial dispensationalist.
A bunch of people at a party.
Red Solo cups abound.
You walk into the room and you weren't invited.
You get the stare.
Like, what are they doing here?
Yeah, that's what's going on here.
I was talking to a friend, though.
He said, you don't subscribe to replacement theology, do you?
I've talked about this before on the show, but I'll reiterate it.
I said, I would caution you in using that term, actually, because that term is a pejorative term.
It was designed by the dispensationalists to attack those of us who believe in covenant theology.
And if we want to be truthful, covenant theology was taught for centuries by the Catholic Church, by the Orthodox Church, by pretty much every mainline Protestant church.
So if we want to be truthful and honest, replacement theology would actually be,
dispensationalism because they didn't come about till much, much later within church history.
But this has been a tool.
And I've talked about it before, a tool that's been used by, well, Israel, a lot of American
Christians.
And I see eschatology through a different lens than I do.
And I used to be part of this camp, fully admitted.
But they've been able to use this.
to make us excited about things or perhaps view current events through a lens that really shouldn't
apply. I've talked about this before with the rebuilding of the Third Temple and how many Christians
get excited about this when if you actually read it, not a positive thing. This is where the Antichrist
sits down and claims that he's God. I've told you before, it's a slap in the face to Jesus himself
to suggest that we need a third temple.
But I also want to talk about Russia a little bit.
I was thinking about this yesterday.
Couldn't sleep.
I was thinking about Russia.
What a weird thing, right?
Some people try counting sheep.
I'm like, Russia.
Um, what?
You think it's weird?
Chris, I don't think it's weird.
Think about Russia.
I actually looked at, I want to visit Russia.
I've always had a fascination with Russia, but I don't like the cold.
So I need to go over to like the Black Sea, where it's actually warm.
Actually, the Black Sea has a similar climate to South Carolina.
Huh?
Yeah, I could go visit there.
But I'm thinking about Russia and how for so long as Americans, they've been the bad guy.
We need a boogeyman, don't we?
That's what Americans need, a boogeyman to be afraid of.
Now look.
communist Soviet Union and the current nation of Russia are two different things
when we look at communism I can see a clear and present enemy
something that I was fundamentally opposed to
the Soviet Union was taking power taking over nations
we gave Joseph Stalin a number of countries we literally betrayed Poland
read your history.
Just gave him that country.
Communism is wicked
from the pit of hell.
So you aren't going to hear me
defending the Soviet Union.
But Russia's a different matter.
See, dispensationalism has been
used.
It's impacted
our foreign policy.
Quite significantly.
When the vast majority of an American
Christians view Russia
through a specific lens,
well, it's easiest for us, or for them, I should say, to get us to go along with whatever plans
are out there. Because the boogeyman's out there. You see, dispensationalists, well, they've kind of
played fast and loose with some things. Probably all of you are familiar with the Daniel 7-5.
Right, that there's four nations that are described. What do we have?
We have four kingdoms. We have the lion, the bear, the leopard, and a fourth beast.
That's what we see. And for a very long time, Christians have been fooled into believing that Russia is that bear.
And I could see why, since the 16th century, actually, Russia has been associated with a bear.
And so when we grab Daniel and put it out of context and apply it to a pre-millennial dispensationalist view,
we can see that Russia is clearly the bear that's going to come and make war.
We also have the belief that Russia is the nation.
And honestly, geographically, this is the case.
The most northern spot.
Moscow is literally the most northern spot of Jerusalem.
But we've taken that and we've applied it to things that probably actually aren't true.
You see, when you come and you study church history and you actually study what was written in the Word of God,
you might come to a different conclusion.
What are those conclusions?
Well, if you want to know, you're going to have to come back.
Hey, this is Caleb Collier, and I know you're excited for the Church and State podcast.
Now, as a Christian patriot, I love precious metals, whether it's gold, silver, palladium, and of course, lead.
And this is why I want you to go over to Ponderay ballistics.
Don't ask me how to spell it for all of your ammunition needs.
Remember, that's P-E-N-D-O-R-E-L-E-Ballistics.com for all of your ammunition needs.
I want you to head on over to Church and State.
Media, forward slash shop, go to Ponderay Ballistics and have a shooting good time.
I got to tell you, that was one of my best teases.
I think I've had for a while, huh?
That was pretty smooth.
That was pretty good, yeah.
I'm not always that good, but that was good.
Look, you're over at Church of State.
media and i'm going to tell you about those conclusions in a minute here but first let's plug one of
our great affiliates and i'm thinking coffee not brondo not brondo i'm not the brondo the brondo
the brondo tastes good it has electrolytes it has what plants crave you know it would be delicious chris
if you watered the coffee tree with brondoondo oh imagine
what that would do for you.
You could brew your coffee with
Brondo too.
That'd be a trifecta.
Your coffee would have
electrolytes. That's brilliant.
I know. Sometimes I have
rare occurrences of just sheer
brilliance. And this
is kind of be one of them.
Brondo coffee.
Dude,
if Brondo wasn't trademarked,
I would come out with
Brondo coffee for a church and state.
It's got electrolytes.
Maybe there's a workaround on that.
I'm going to come back to that.
I'm going to put my mind at that.
Make a note of this.
We're going to explore Brondo coffee.
If, well, I don't have Brondo coffee yet, but we do have Hunter's Blend coffee.
I want Brondo Coffee now, but I like Hunter's Blend as well.
Check out Hunter's Blend coffee.
They got some great flavors.
Of course, you know me.
If it's not dark, like just get out of town.
You white coffee drinkers.
What's a point?
stop it
supposed to be dark
chewy
you like chewy coffee
perfect
yeah exactly
it's the kind of stuff maybe
maybe it's just the marine in me
but
I want some coffee that'll put hair on your chest
that'll just
come back
you know you don't drink the coffee
the coffee drinks you
that's what I'm talking about
and they got this all right so check out the
Hunter's Bun coffee
and of course use the promo
code church and state and you'll help support us also once again hit that donate button for us
hit the donate button for us so that i can bring to you brondo coffee i can just imagine the label chris
it's got electrolytes it sounds awful and wonderful at the same time most of my ideas are a combination
of the two yeah exactly but donating to us is always a good idea you like that you like that transition
Uh-huh, yeah.
Smooth.
I know.
Like my coffee.
Keep me alive, caffeinated,
and certainly bringing you heart-hitting information by hitting that donate button.
All right, with that, let's go back.
Let's go talk, continue to talk about the Russian bear.
See, let's put it into context.
Because I believe, and it's not just me,
It's so many church fathers, historians, did have all said this exact thing.
But this is what Daniel Seven's actually talking about.
It's talking about past empires.
It has nothing to do with the future.
We don't have that.
When we look at the lion, who would be the lion in this tense, in what we're experiencing right now?
Who's the lion?
Most people would say the lion is going to be Israel.
So why would Daniel be talking negatively about Israel?
Maybe the lion's England.
Could be that. That's definitely on their flag.
Are we talking about England here?
No, we don't have to overcomplicate it.
And we don't have to insert nations that didn't exist in order to fulfill our version of prophecy.
The lion was Babylon.
The bear is Persia.
Look, if you still want to be angry at the Iranian people, fine.
Be angry at the bear, the Persians.
But the bear is not Russia in Daniel.
It's the Persians.
The leopard as Greece.
And that fourth beast is Rome.
That's what Daniel was referencing.
And we really do a disservice to our faith when we try to take things out of context
to fulfill what we've been taught, what we believe through dispensationalism specifically here.
Russia, I don't believe, is the enemy anymore.
Christians in particular, Christian patriots, I should say, don't allow our government to bend you to their will because they weaponized your faith.
When you examine Russia, and I did this last night, told you I couldn't sleep.
I looked at some of the laws that have been recently passed in Russia.
I actually wish I hadn't even said that.
I wish I could have just told you about laws that have been passed in a nation
and then had you question, what nation is this?
I wish that was the case, but it's not.
So let's just go through this a little bit.

This is Russia.
Answer me, Christian, honestly.
Look at our country.
Look at the United States.
A country that is supposedly founded on Christian principles, values.
How far we fall.
but our enemy, the Russians, they're passing laws like this.
Now, look, as a libertarian, I do have some issue here, but as a Christian, a country doing this?
Who do you think God's going to honor?
You think those who are pushing transgenderism, killing babies in the womb to abortion,
making fun of Jesus from the public square?
Then you have another country doing stuff like this?
Now I know where this is going to get me, Chris.
I know exactly what's going to happen.
Clearly, Caleb is getting money from the Russians.
Dude, you're not sharing with me?
I'm on Putin's payroll, clearly.
Come on, man.
Cut me in.
I know.
I should.
But I'm greedy.
I'm a jerk.
Look.
No.
I'm not getting any money from the Russians.
Nor would I take money from the Russians.
I'll call out Putin just as much.
as I call out Trump or Biden.
But I'm just trying to get you to think,
to use that beautiful brain that God gave you
and understand that you're being used.
You want to talk about the Ukrainian war?
Oh, you leftists out there in particular.
You got the Ukrainian flag.
You didn't even know what the Ukrainian flag looked like
until the media and the talking heads told you
that you got to support it.
And you don't know any of the history.
You don't know that Zelensky is a puppet,
politician that we installed. The United States installed that administration. And what did we do?
Russia had said, look, we're not going to do anything. Just don't put NATO on our doorstep.
And we did it in Turkey and then we did it in Ukraine. Hey, you look at Crimea. You have to understand that
the government, the puppet government that we installed in Ukraine, they started going after the Russians.
They actually criminalized Russian-speaking Ukrainians,
which made up about 30% of the population.
And especially in eastern Ukraine,
that's where they were Russians.
Crimea, the people there, voted to remove themselves
from the nation of Ukraine and rejoined Russia.
That was the will of the people.
But of course, you couldn't have that, could they?
So they started slaughtering them.
The Ukrainians started bombing civilians intentionally.
Crimea asked Russia for help.
Of course, there's the deep sea port into the Mediterranean from there as well.
How it holds significant military value.
Oh, yeah, Russia came in.
Is Russia the good guy?
I'm not saying that.
Not saying that at all.
But I'm telling you, it's weed.
look at what's actually going on and don't just believe one source.
Go to multiple sources.
I love to go to RT.
You ever go to RT, Chris?
Russia today.
Hey, I know it's propaganda.
But it's different propaganda.
And maybe between the United States propaganda and the Russian propaganda,
maybe the middle of that I can get to some truth.
But once again, it requires you to use this.
to use that mind again, I'm done with it.
I'm done with the U.S. government telling me that I have to hate this people group and love another one.
You don't get that option because my Savior told me to love everyone,
told me to pray for them all to try to convert every one of them.
And if I'm looking at the Russian people and the laws that are currently being passed in this country,
I'm seeing a lot of brothers and sisters in Christ.
Should I want to go to war with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ?
Should I want to bomb them?
Should I wish ill will on them?
Were the Thessalonians going to war with the Corinthians?
The believers weren't.
The believers weren't.
The believers were unified and prayer and living out.
instructions that Jesus has taught his disciples.
It was brought to them by the apostles.
Christian, I want you to be patriotic.
I want you to love your country.
But when your country is wrong, your duty is to Christ first.
To humanity second.
And then to your nation.
Don't ever forget that.
Don't be a victim of an agenda.
