Transcript
- 0:00Hey friends, we've got a special treat. Pastor Brandon Holthaus is back with this again for another episode
- 0:05We're going to talk about a lot of headlines in this episode and we are also going to talk about the spiritual
- 0:11battle
- 0:12underlying the culture and truth war on and in
- 0:17America that's next
- 0:21Welcome to world view matters discussing controversial issues
- 0:26discerning current events
- 0:29Defending biblical Christianity
- 0:31No topic off limits and now here's your host David Fierazo
- 0:38Hey friends
- 0:39Thank you so much for watching listing and sharing the podcast pastor Brandon tip of the spear ministry
- 0:44Dot com, I know we just did a show with you on different topics, but thank you for coming back and doing another one
- 0:51This is great. I love your voice in your ministry
- 0:53Well my pleasure. Thanks for having some crazy guy from California out in your show, man
- 0:58I know I promise you I am not like the typical Californian, so
- 1:03You know there's a just such a remnant of solid
- 1:07Bible-believing pastors and leaders out there, but a very strong remnant, but there is and those they're very strong
- 1:14And the their ministries are very effective, but we need so many more
- 1:19Oh, man. Okay, so Brandon. I didn't know where to start with this one with just with the headlines, but
- 1:25Um, this is kind of these two go together Tesla sites are being fire bombed
- 1:30A Twitter X was hit with major cyber attacks
- 1:34Why because Elon Musk is trying to cut wasteful government spending and he said quote we get attacked every day
- 1:43But this one was done with a lot of resources
- 1:46either a large coordinated group and or a country is involved
- 1:51He says we're not sure exactly what happened, but there was a massive
- 1:54cyber attack to try to bring down the X system
- 1:57With IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area
- 2:02This is what they were looking for now again. This was last week
- 2:06So and then we're gonna talk about USAID and I got some great news and doge
- 2:11So where do you want to start with this one? How about calling out the double standard?
- 2:15Yeah, I mean look how hit the critical they are that Elon Musk used to be their
- 2:21Their darling here a guy that they loved him. They loved him for Tesla and then and
- 2:27SpaceX and Starlink and everything that he was doing
- 2:30um, and all of a sudden the minute he started supporting Trump
- 2:34They turned on him like a sheep killing dog and now they're out for blood because now he is working at the
- 2:41You know for doge and working for Trump in essence and cutting the wasteful fraud and spending that USAID has done and on other
- 2:50And other departments in the government and all of a sudden
- 2:54Now they're gonna retaliate against the guy they once loved and what is there to retaliate all he is doing is cutting off the fraud
- 3:02That has been exposed and the wasteful spending of bureaucracy and now all of a sudden their tactics are
- 3:08Not civility. Remember they used to say that Trump is uncivil and we got it returned to civility
- 3:13If they don't turn return to civility they go and fire bomb these these Tesla
- 3:20You know
- 3:21Auto malls or whatever and that's their way of retaliating like a bunch of gang members
- 3:27Yeah, and so I find it I find it hypocritical
- 3:30Um, they want civility, but this is how they react. So yeah, it's
- 3:35ironic. I have six words for you black lives matter global network foundation
- 3:42Do you remember what they did remember what they did in
- 3:452020 the summer of love I guess
- 3:49Billions of dollars in damage dozens of people killed or murdered
- 3:53On our streets in America, but it was all justified because it was for a good cause
- 3:58And now you look back at that and go oh my goodness. What was going on with you know
- 4:02Police being told to stand down and what was happening on our city streets
- 4:06So let's talk about double standard. Why did they promote lawlessness is because that's their ideology
- 4:11They're their anti-Christian anti-American and now so he's trying to help us the taxpayers
- 4:17Mill billions in fact I've heard trillions of dollars
- 4:20Let's look at this one really quick and I'll get your response to brand and Marco Rubio announced last week that 83%
- 4:27Of USAID programs have been canceled and there were 5200 contacts
- 4:32We're talking about billions of dollars that did not serve
- 4:37America it's interesting your thoughts on that
- 4:41Well, that's the problem what what we see with USAID and and all of this is they're working from a framework
- 4:49David that's a non biblical framework. They're working from a framework of
- 4:53Power and that's all that really matters for them right and wrong morality values don't matter
- 4:59It's a matter of who's got power how to get it and how to keep it and with that if power is your main ideology
- 5:07Then the ends justify the means and that's why you're seeing them that
- 5:12You know if it takes to fire bomb Elon Musk or or pitch a fit here and say that it's racist or it you know
- 5:21You know to lock up the borders or or it's it's it's homophobic to not produce LGBT
- 5:29Propaganda in other countries or if we say hey, we shouldn't be funding transgender surgeries
- 5:35We must be transphobic
- 5:37But you start looking at it and it's like okay, you guys have no values
- 5:42It's really demonic. It's what you're doing and that's why you're willing to go to the lengths in which we are now in covering
- 5:50We see trillions of dollars going towards
- 5:54Things that promote an anti-biblical worldview all through the world and I I looked at how we were spending from USAID
- 6:03And just kind of saw a common theme there and there were some the common themes were this a promoting
- 6:09Of the LGBT and trans agenda to the world. That's that's one of the things I saw
- 6:16The second was promoting woke ideology whether that's DEI ESG save the planet type of thing throughout the world
- 6:23And the third one is actually backing Islamic jihad
- 6:27And and so when I looked at that and I could I categorized all three categories
- 6:33I said uh-huh something's up here
- 6:36Why would they be supporting an ideology like this in those three sections?
- 6:40Well, here's what I my theory is it is for the purpose of destroying the West
- 6:46It is for the purpose of destroying the Judeo Christian values that we hold dear in the West
- 6:51And basically to target Jews and Christians at the end of this and that's really what's happening here
- 6:57So I'm happy that it got uncovered, but here's the thing David
- 7:00This war is not over just because Trump and Elon Musk are exposing this
- 7:05I do not think these people are gonna go away quietly
- 7:08They're going to pitch a fit. They're gonna fight because they don't want to give up power
- 7:12And that's where the culture war is coming and that's why frictions and you'd be prepared for this culture war
- 7:18Thank you. We are watching it. We are trying to be discerning but my goodness some of the stuff is infuriating
- 7:23what you just said because they are
- 7:26They're exporting a an anti-biblical
- 7:29Anti-Christian worldview. That's not what America stood for or stands for or was founded as
- 7:34I want to just share one article with you. It's over at Politico. It came out March 11
- 7:40And it says USAID official
- 7:43tells staffers to shred and burn your documents
- 7:47Did you hear about this brand and it says I sure did this this group effort shred as many documents first
- 7:54And then reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable and needs a break
- 8:01Label the burn bags with the words quote secret
- 8:04And again, this is that Politico
- 8:07Why what do they have to what are they hiding?
- 8:10Well, it's like Jesus said lightness come into the world, but men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil
- 8:16What we have now uncovered I shouldn't say we but conservatives
- 8:21Did Trump administration and I think I think that's one of the things God has used Trump is to reveal what's been going on in our country
- 8:28Leviathan got exposed David
- 8:31Whatever you want to call it Leviathan the deep state the bureaucracy whatever there's deep states all over the planet
- 8:37But we had a deep state and we still do have a deep state here in the United States and
- 8:42People call it the swamp or whatever and what happened was
- 8:46The deep state had to reveal itself last year a little bit
- 8:49Especially when they took down Biden replaced him with Kamala Harris
- 8:52It should have revealed itself and it did it in within 48 hours
- 8:56And then the deep state also revealed itself when we had two assassination attempts and we had no idea what secret service wasn't protecting him and again
- 9:05Going into this we found out that Facebook was working with the government in in the in the 2020 election
- 9:10And so we had all of that going on at the same time we found out the FBI the CIA the DOJ the Pentagon
- 9:17We're all involved in undermining Trump and anyone else that went against their narrative
- 9:23So the concept that there is no deep state that became exposed there is a deep state and here's what's happening
- 9:30Trump has now went in there within the first hundred days
- 9:33He is tearing up jack because he knows he's got to get it done and expose these people
- 9:38Whether you're talking about the Epstein files or your P Diddy files or you're talking about what happened with Hillary Clinton
- 9:44Trump says he's going to expose. He's gonna
- 9:47Expose the UFO files. He's gonna
- 9:49It's look when the deep state gets threatened by Trump saying they're gonna be exposed
- 9:55They're going to react because they were doing things illegally. They were doing things making money
- 10:01Money laundering
- 10:02We talked about Ukraine at proxy ward. It was a lot of money laundering going on there. No doubt about that
- 10:08And so their deeds are evil and so now they're in a panic
- 10:11Because they're trying to cover everything up
- 10:14Yep
- 10:15I'm glad you brought in the ideology aspect the spiritual aspect and there the who is reacting to it
- 10:21It's very telling when someone's finding waste fraud and abuse and showing where our taxpayer dollars have been going
- 10:29It's very telling who is against that very very telling
- 10:34Let's talk about another one before we have to take a brief pause with you
- 10:38A watchdog report identified 460
- 10:42DEI programs
- 10:44Within the federal government worth one trillion
- 10:47Dollars of taxpayer funds now we know the Biden
- 10:50Let me just rephrase that the oh Biden Harris administration
- 10:54Yeah, right. We know what they were pushing and what they were trying to do for those four years and what they did do
- 10:59Don't say he was seen while you say whatever you want, but they accomplished a lot
- 11:03I don't know who's running the country. It wasn't Joe Biden
- 11:07But they meaning the left got a lot done and for evil and they're calling evil good and good evil
- 11:13But anyway the degree to which the administration infuse these DEI policies in the federal government has been eye-opening
- 11:20Astounding even that most of us who were somewhat informed and were paying attention to this
- 11:25So the important thing Brandon I'll let you respond is ensuring these
- 11:30Programs do not make a comeback. It's going to take a huge effort to do that
- 11:35So what are your thoughts on one trillion in taxpayer funds for DEI?
- 11:40Yeah, I mean think about that. I mean that's why our our health secretary was a dude pretending to be a guy
- 11:47Because of DEI. This is why you know
- 11:50We have a problem with air traffic control because they were at the air traffic control in the SAA
- 11:56We're part of the DEI program and also the airlines and and let's take it to the medical field too because
- 12:04Many medical schools were practicing DEI and people say well, what's the big deal about that?
- 12:08Well with DEI it is what we call reverse racism
- 12:13It is taking somebody based on the color of their skin or ethnicity and putting them in a place where they did not merit the place
- 12:22So how does that work when we promote people who didn't qualify to be an airline pilot?
- 12:28But we need more of this particular nationality
- 12:32Represented in our airline pilots, but yet they couldn't pass the test or how would I like to go to a doctor?
- 12:37That's a DEI higher and we say you know what he went to
- 12:42Medical school in third world country whatever he didn't pass our
- 12:48tests and exams, but because you know we need to have representation from
- 12:53Some third world country
- 12:55We're going to make him a doctor at Stanford
- 12:58So who in the world would go to that guy versus a guy who was trained medically here in the states?
- 13:03And so the guy will end up killing you maybe I don't know
- 13:07I mean, but again when I'm trying to point out that DEI
- 13:12puts people that haven't married the position in dangerous positions that could kill other people
- 13:18airline pilot FAA traffic controller
- 13:21Medical okay, and so this is the problem with DEI and then we had DEI in the in our military
- 13:29Well, what does that do to our military that that's that weakens it when we when the Navy is using
- 13:36Transgender recruiting things to recruit people into the Navy are you kidding ourselves?
- 13:42Again, it's all too weak in America. It's it but it's dangerous
- 13:47And you're not making this up by the way. They did put out videos about with it
- 13:51I think a drag queen or transgender to try to during the the requirement for it
- 13:56And that's why the recruiting numbers dove declined and now there's now there's skyrocketing
- 14:02They're exceeding standards for recruiting in the military now praise god
- 14:06Yeah, amen to that, but that's that's the danger of things because it DEI has implications and don't think for a minute
- 14:13It's about equality. It's not about equality
- 14:16We in the Judeo Christian ethic believe in meritocracy and that I don't care what the guy's skin color is or ethnicity
- 14:24Is this guy the best guy for that position?
- 14:27That's a fundamental biblical principle that a worker like proper says a worker will be known by is by the king if he works hard and and does well in his craftsmanship
- 14:38A king will recognize that man and that's basically a meritocracy
- 14:43That we our nation was founded on but if you get away from that and go towards like more Marxist communism
- 14:48We're well, it doesn't matter who's in the position
- 14:51You're going to end up with Starbucks workers as your doctor
- 14:56Gosh, that's just that's a frightening thought, but I'm that note. We've got to take a brief pause
- 15:02Brandon Holthaus is our guest tip of the spear ministry
- 15:06Dot com and when we come back
- 15:08We'll talk about a story about recently that JD Vance
- 15:11Said he's the VP of course said he was confronted by a pro-Ukrainian
- 15:15Protester or a gang of protesters while he was walking his toddler
- 15:20Daughter and who are the most conservative libertarian senators? That's next
- 15:25Today's show is brought to you by Harbinger's Daily world news

- 16:02Freedom project media app if you'd like to do that as well. So Brandon before let's have some fun before we dive into some other
- 16:09more serious stories
- 16:11over at the communist news network
- 16:14South Reclaim communist who was a former advisor of the Obama administration
- 16:20Let it rip on CNN. I think some the Democrat party is a mess. I'm thankful that they're showing their true colors
- 16:26I'm thankful that they're acting like idiots. I'm thankful that it's a clown show
- 16:30It's a circus and and there's no leadership. I don't like it because it kind of shows our government
- 16:36The little chaos there, but it's the Democrat party
- 16:40The midterms are next year. It's going to be interesting to see what happens
- 16:43But Van Jones over at CNN
- 16:48Went into a blistering diatribe against the Democrat party and says he can see why it's hemorrhaging voters. He said
- 16:57Quote we're screwed
- 16:59Defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country
- 17:04Turns out is not as popular as my party thought it was going to be
- 17:09And quote your thoughts Brandon have fun with this one
- 17:13Yeah, you know isn't that funny that's coming from Van Jones of all people
- 17:16You know that's dying the wool communist Marxist socialist and yet he is recognizing look
- 17:22He understands politics and realizing that look the American people voted Donald Trump in because
- 17:29Really what what what it's been called is a common-sense revolution
- 17:33We do not want to say that men can play women's sports and and be okay with that
- 17:38We are not saying that men can minstrate in fact some of the the the doge uncovered that that we were paying for for studying
- 17:47Men minstrate okay men don't minstrate. I can I can I can clear that study up real quick
- 17:54Or men can have a baby, right? You know and and so we had the American people saying look
- 18:00I don't care if we're Republican or Democrat these Democrats are unhinged
- 18:04They have hooked their star to the radical left of
- 18:07Outside of the parameters of any balance whatsoever and I can't go with this
- 18:13And so that's why we saw even in politics people that were particularly a typically
- 18:19Maybe liberal classical liberal David or independent switch over to Trump like Joe Rogan and
- 18:27Jordan Peterson and other guys that are not traditionally
- 18:32Concert of it known, but then they went with Trump because they said I can't buy into this
- 18:37This is out of control and at least Van Jones has enough at least political sense
- 18:41I don't think he he has changed his values
- 18:44But he does have enough political to sense to saying you guys keep doubling down on
- 18:50Women playing sports you're gonna lose the next election and so anyway
- 18:55It's an 80 20 actually almost 80% of Americans say no
- 19:00Don't let girls compete or boys compete against girls
- 19:03We've seen some of the damage and some of the scholarships lost and all these other things a men beating women by just such large margins
- 19:12but let's go
- 19:14Back to your point that
- 19:17They're not changing their worldview or ideology. They're not coming to Jesus. They're just saying
- 19:23What what we've been doing is not working the messaging why because they have bad policies bad ideas
- 19:32Not pro-American. They're it's just amazing that they've gotten this far
- 19:37So I want to make that clear that they're not changing or converting. They're just kind of realizing
- 19:43We've got to find a different way to message get the message out there, right?
- 19:47Absolutely, and so what you have to realize is
- 19:51They're politically savvy
- 19:53They're not gonna change their ideology and and the problem is here's the problem with their ideology
- 19:57They're ideology because it's a non-biblical ideology can never construct anything creatively
- 20:03It can only destroy things so like when you see Biden go in the office when he destroyed America
- 20:09I live here in California where Gavin Newsom has literally destroyed California with the fires the lack of water and in David as an
- 20:16Example we have plenty of water, but we let 95% of it out into the ocean
- 20:21Because of a delta smelt that's not even net native to California
- 20:24So you then you know, we have a DEI hires as the fire chief captain in LA and mayor bass who's out of her mind a DEI higher
- 20:32You know
- 20:33And they basically can't run anything and so even Gavin Newsom realizes
- 20:39Hey, um, I really can't build anything. So what is he doing? He's trying to soften his image and he had Charlie Kirk on his program
- 20:46To try and say yeah, I really don't believe in guys playing women sports to the chagrin
- 20:52Yeah, to the chagrin of of all the transgenders
- 20:56And so he he realizes politically he ain't gonna win with the messaging that they have
- 21:02And so they have to change the measure, but there here's the thing once they get in the office
- 21:06They will pop the clutch on their ideology. They will say whatever they have to say David as you know
- 21:13But once they get in power
- 21:15It's it's tater chip letter rip here's my ideology and it's demonic. Yeah, let it run
- 21:21That's what they do yeah, and you're not exaggerating by the way. It's call it out friends. It is a demonic
- 21:27Platform if you go to the democrat party not that everything I don't agree with every republic
- 21:32And I don't agree with everything in the platform or their methodology
- 21:35But there's such a contrast speaking of conservative and libertarian senators
- 21:40Let's point out a few people and give some kudos here
- 21:43I follow the Rand Paul review on substag and the top defenders of liberty
- 21:502024
- 21:51I 100% rating Rand Paul and Mike Lee
- 21:55Yeah, also, I wanted to say this because Wisconsin shout out to Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson at 90
- 22:02Marsha blackburn is on there
- 22:05Tommy Tuberville Josh Holly was at 84, but a year ago JD Vance was at 85 as
- 22:12As conservative and libertarian as far as how he voted and the policies he believed in so
- 22:17There are some good men and good women
- 22:20On the right side and I'm just praying that they make progress
- 22:24Well, they still can like I said because
- 22:27Midterms we're going like a steam roller right now as far as the Trump administration
- 22:31With executive orders policies like a great cabinet of rock stars
- 22:36Uh pro-american and so a lot of believers a lot of Christians in the cabinet
- 22:41Can you speak to that for a moment because as far as the midterms coming up and our limited time
- 22:46I totally believe that it God has given us a reprieve david and that's why we see all these people that are
- 22:53Our pro-America pro-Christian and so a lot of them are our Christians
- 22:57And I think I think providentially Trump was spared for this time
- 23:02And I think what God is doing is he's given America a second chance of saying are you going to get this figured out before it's too late because if you don't
- 23:10The Democrats are going to get back in power and they're gonna
- 23:13They're gonna go right over the cliff with America because
- 23:16They want the destruction of the America we know and grew up in and love
- 23:21They want globalism david that's what they really want
- 23:25They want to be led by Klaus Schwab and so what I'm I appreciate all these individuals that are in the White House and in the Trump administration
- 23:33But they have a limited amount of time and they have limited research and I hope they can get a lot of things done and changed
- 23:39But here's the thing we cannot as believers just hope that one man changes this
- 23:44We have to start in our communities
- 23:47And dealing with our neighborhoods our communities our our our cities that we live in
- 23:51To to try to affect changes well otherwise we will go over the cliff and we look at the public schools in in our neighborhoods
- 24:00They are as crazy as all get out and and they're indoctrination centers
- 24:05There's where we need to start locally is stop the indoctrination that's going on
- 24:11So we need to take our chance that God has given us
- 24:13Thank you really quickly we don't have to talk about this one
- 24:16But I want to put this out there to remind you what we were just kind of talking about
- 24:20Another article over at the Washington stand despite Trump EO
- 24:25Meaning executive order the fight to protect female sports persists across the country
- 24:32You can grab this headline and put it in almost every any education media
- 24:38Government, you know
- 24:40Spending all these other places the fight will persist despite the executive orders
- 24:44But I want to get one more response from you on this article a lot of conservative this is not the left plays
- 24:51They try to intimidate and harass because they don't have good ideas good policies
- 24:55And their worldview is warped
- 24:57JD Vance was walking with this toddler a daughter and this pro-Ukrainian
- 25:02Crowd of protesters was walking and shouting at them. We've seen this with a lot of
- 25:07conservative Christian or Republican representatives
- 25:11Before your your thoughts on this Brandon
- 25:14Yeah, you know
- 25:16I agree with what JD Vance and Trump have said to Zalensky this needs to stop the meat grinder
- 25:23That's going on in this Russian Ukrainian war needs to stop there needs to be a ceasefire and and
- 25:31The end of it basically what we understand David this was a proxy war against Russia and we were funding it and this meat grinder
- 25:41Killed about 600 Ukrainian 600,000 Ukrainian men and about a million Russians all total and and so you know
- 25:50JD Vance and and Donald Trump are trying to end this
- 25:54And get some type of peace going on but
- 25:59The protest against that is is kind of a nerving. I guess it's to be expected
- 26:04But what do people want? It's like Trump said at the speech he said in front of you know at the state of the union
- 26:10Elizabeth Warren do you want this to continue on for five years and what did she say? Yes, she's clapping
- 26:16Yes, I wanted to go on for five years. By the way, that was the only thing the Democrats
- 26:22applauded for was the money that was spent and sent to Ukraine funding
- 26:28This war it's not just going to the innocent people. It's it's funding
- 26:32Globalism and the war and all kinds of nonsense and it's the only thing it's sad. They showed their cards
- 26:38We know let's wrap this up. We know exactly
- 26:41What their worldview is we know exactly where they stand on policies and ideology but friends from the spiritual perspective
