Netflix just released 2 very different stories.

One is the new season of Stranger Things, which is getting absolutely roasted online.

The other is Wake Up Dead Man and people are calling it the best Knives Out movie yet.

Same platform, same audience, very, very different reactions.

And I think it's a inclination of something deeper that's happening in culture because see, this is not about acting or production value.

It's about story 1 feels like it's trying to say something to the audience, the other feels like it's asking something of them.

And what's fascinating is what people are saying after watching these shows.

Not that that was entertaining, but man, that made me rethink life.

And that's not normal Internet language.

Let me give you some examples.

OK, so Wake Up Dead Man has a critics score of 92 and even crazier, an audience score of 94.

Stranger Things that just came out says that it started initially a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes before the release of the latest episode.

Now it's dropped to 50%.

The episode also has a record low 5 1/2 out of 10 rating on IMDb, which is even lower than a notoriously despised season 2 episode, The Lost Sister.

Why is this happening?

I thought you'd never ask.

Well, Stranger Things decided to go the route of highlighting will buyers officially coming out as a same sex attracted person.

Now it wasn't the people were mad at the scene and bigoted or whatever it was that this had nothing to do with anything in the seasons.

I I just I.

I I I don't like girls.

So the issue isn't that people all of a sudden despise Stranger things or despise gay people.

The issue is this had nothing to do with the story and didn't add to it in any way, shape or form.

Now it's getting memed all over the Internet.

This was funny.

I just I, I just I, I, I, I don't like girls if we'll had a black family.

That's it.

That's all you want to say?

What, baby?

We knew that, right?

We already knew that baby.

We've been talking about that for years.

We all knew that.

And we all talked about it.

We all knew.

Yeah.

We waiting on you to say something.

We don't rush nobody to come out.

You come out when you want to.

That's fine.

That's fine.

You all right?

You all right?

We know that baby.

We knew back when you was a little boy.

Yeah, somebody loved you.

Don't matter to gay or not.

Hey, what's up for where we put together that clip?

In case you're thinking Ruslan, this is just fringe people on X Nope Nope Nope Nope.

This is their own YouTube channel.

3.43 million subscribers with a massive dislike ratio means almost half the people that watch this disliked it on YouTube.

OK on their YouTube channel.

And then when you Scroll down you see all sorts of comments roasting this.

The the best one here though is Lucas.

By my calculation, the world is ending soon will I'm gay but but this this leads to a deeper issue in society and and a really deeper issue in culture.

I think right now.

And let's just juxtapose this for a second.

The reaction to new knives out.

This is on TikTok.

This is going mega viral of 47,000 likes.

New Knives Out was so good I had to go to church and if you take a look at these comments, they're confirming this movie was so good to make you feel like giving Christianity a second chance.

This is so beautiful.

Jesus is love.

Aw it low key brought me back to my faith.

OK I'd only go if Josh O'Connor was there the Christianity Carol service.

OK so think about this for a second.

It's actually pretty wild to think that media can drive people back to faith in Jesus and get them to actually actually go to church.

That's pretty wild.

OK.

On the other hand, a show that was so favored like Stranger Things is actually causing a huge backlash because of what they're clearly trying to peddle on people.

Not that people are mad at someone the same sex attracted.

It's that the way it's being worked in is forcing you.

What's it think?

It's forcing you how to process these things instead of trying to get you to think different or asking you questions.

OK, now this video is not going to have any teasers.

I'm not going to be talking about anything specific in the show.

Now, if you want me to do a review video on the entire film of Wake Up Dead Man, let me know in the comments section.

I'd love to hear from you.

But I think this is speaking to something deeper happening in society right now.

And I believe it's that people are starting to crave meaning instead of messaging.

They're tired of just being fed the same slop in ways that doesn't make sense.

We saw this come out in Hollywood having to have a certain number of quote, UN quote, diverse characters that going viral because of their connections to Wall Street.

And this whole EGC scored that which typically refers to human rights campaigns, municipal index, right, connected to big investment funds, basically forcing Hollywood to have these LGBTQ inclusivity policy.

And so in that you saw that this stuff was becoming more and more prevalent in the media.

And in recent years, people started pushing back against this.

It's like, hey, why does every show have one of these poking, same sex attracted LGTV characters?

Why is there always this push to try and highlight this?

And so people are are getting tired of this and they're wanting something deeper.

They're wanting something more transcendent.

They're wanting something beyond themselves to give them a perspective that's not just slop and telling them what to think.

Now, what is Wake Up Dead Man doing that's resonating with people?

Well, it's introducing faith in ways that is speaking to that desire for meaning.

Let me give you some examples on that.

This is how X is describing it, right?

A Knives Out mystery, the third in Ryan Johnson's story, yada yada yada.

But it says that it has a thoughtful church setting drawn from Johnson's religious upbringing.

OK, that's the director.

Complete with authentic priest portrayals and biblical nods.

Fans highlight Josh O'Connor's heartfelt Father Judd, gripping atmosphere and a plot blending humor, faith questions and surprises that outshine the first two films.

On again, I'm not going to give many spoilers here, but many people are loving the portrayal of Father Judd, who has multiple amazing monologues in this movie.

Father Judd in the movie portrays a priest and his background as a fighter has led him to this point.

That instead of having US versus the mentality, instead of constantly fighting the culture war, we need to be doing a better job at pointing people to Jesus, pointing people back to the fact that they're created in the image of God and that ultimately they have a purpose and they have a calling and they have dignity and they have worth.

And so it's a very interesting depiction, especially in light of how divided the world and the country is right now.

It's resonating with people because it's really trying to show them, in my opinion.

I think the director, Johnson, did this on purpose, how to walk out the faith right in this context, in this climate, in this society that so much division is happening, so many fights are happening, so much is absolutely polarized and charged up right now.

And there's this depiction of a priest and a massive Netflix movie that is gaining a huge positive reception again, unlike Stranger Things, which is seemingly stuck in the 2020 brain rod of needing to have representation of every single type of minority character in a movie that has nothing to do with the story.

It has nothing to do with the movie.

It just is there because it's supposed to be there.

I guess it's interesting that Stranger Things, which is the more secular of the two, if you will, right?

No overtly religious characters, feels like it's preaching at you while Knives Out is trying to get you to think different, is asking questions, is really doing more than just giving you slop of how you should feel or what you should feel.

I think all of this is crucial with regards to the macro idea of storytelling, especially historically, Christian media has been the stuff that's been really on the nose.

Like we're really going to just try to use media to indoctrinate you.

And now it seems like the opposite.

Many people have asked me, like Ruslan, do you think that Christians should watch Stranger Things?

And it's it's always a should can versus what's what, what's the point, right?

Like I think good storytelling captures our imagination and should hopefully point us to something that's more transcending point ultimately to God.

And so can Christians watch Stranger things?

Kind of a silly questions can do a lot of stuff.

Should we support stuff that is often in direct opposition to our faith?

That's a different conversation that we could be having.

Now.

I really do believe this is speaking to what many have already acknowledged, what we're going to get into next, which is there seems to be something shifting in culture.

There seems to be something shifting within society that's desiring meaning, that's desiring more than just hedonism or just programming to you're supposed to believe these things and you're supposed to think these things, and if you don't, you're a bigot.

It makes me think of the passage in Matthew Charter 19.

Jesus says to his disciples, the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

And a lot of like my heart with what we're doing on this channel, the conversations that we're having, I really do believe that I am often asking God to keep sending workers.

Why?

Because the harvest is plentiful.

The harvest is here, people are coming to faith.

Bible sales are up.

Which leads us to the next thing I want to talk about today.

Shawn Ryan sitting down with Lee Strobel, an amazing author, Christian apologist, and me kind of getting a little shout out a little bit, but generally speaking to the big idea of everything that's happening in culture right now.

Check this out.

It's actually a new survey done by the Barn organization that show that among especially young people who have taken some sort of step as a result of the Charlie Curtis Nation, far more than like 3 times as many have taken a spiritual step versus a political step.

So I think it's something like 38% who took a step took a spiritual step, and like 11% took a political step.

OK, that's pretty amazing news.

Now it's tragic as the assassination of Charlie Kirk was the fact that more people are taking a spiritual step and this and in my church looks like actual church attendance going up, right?

Like it looks like people coming back to church in droves, meaning that at Rhythm Church in Oceanside, we have doubled from this time last year.

OK, we had about 700 people coming approximately this time last year.

Our church is now at 1500 people on a Sunday.

So we're seeing the increase in church attendance.

And it was already happening prior to the assassination, Charlie Kirk, but it really revved up post.

And the fact that people aren't running to politics and running to personalities, but are actually coming to church, I think is a huge net positive.

And listen to what Lee Strobel says next.

Which to me is a fascinating phenomenon when you look at also, Bible sales continue to be extremely high when you look at how many young guys are going back to church.

Young women are kind of leaving the church a bit right now, but it's young guys who are going to church.

This is.

Very new.

Very new, very exciting.

I think it's like God is kind of stirring the spiritual pot.

You know, something's going on in the culture and I think it's a positive thing.

I think especially Generation X and and alphas, young, young people, they've been lied to so much, you know, AI who knows culture.

Now we're gonna work on the ladies, OK?

We're gonna, we're gonna figure something out for you ladies, OK?

To not go down to run from church, but hopefully get you back into church.

But the fact that men are coming to church, I think it's huge in my opinion, Man, you win The men, the women will follow.

Now that makes all misogynistic, Ruslan, that that's just the truth.

Usually when men are walking with Jesus, when they're walking in the fullness of their purpose, when they're living a life that blesses God, often the women will follow.

And that's awesome news, OK, That they're not running to Andrew Tate and they're not running to other Internet brain rot.

They're running back to Jesus.

That is huge.

Now Lee is going to go on and explain, I think, that some of the idiosyncrasies that Gen.

Z is experiencing around.

All of this.

I think it's a positive thing.

I think especially Generation X and, and alphas, young, young people, they've been lied to so much.

You know, AI who knows what's true and what's not.

You go on Twitter and X, you know, and you see this funny video and then you realize, oh, it was artificial intelligence and, you know, television commercials just lie to you about things or mislead your radio commercials and, and politics has told you one thing when you know that ain't true.

And I think a lot of young people get to the point where I'd like to base my life on something solid.

I'd like to anchor it on something that's true.

And that's a good thing because I think personally, my experience has been that's who Jesus is and that's how we celebrate at Christmas.

That's who Jesus is.

The reality is this is the most marketed to generation ever.

Gen.

Z, Gen.

Alpha.

They're constantly inundated with marketing, with products, with subscriptions, with trying to get them to buy something.

And then I think they're tired of it.

And I think they want something real and I think they want someone to speak to them in a real way, which is why I actually believe folks like Shawn Ryan and podcasters so successful because I think people are tired of the curated cookie cutter media training approach to conversations and hard questions.

They want something real.

They want something more challenging.

Watch that full podcast.

But I did want to give them a shout out.

Sean kind of kind of gave me a shout out in this little bit.

Sort of all right, I'm always picking your brain and John's brain and Todd's brain and and Ruslan's brain or whoever I bring in here I come, here I come.

So can I take that as a shout out?

I think it's a shout.

I don't know.

I'm going to take this as a shout out.

Sean, Ryan, Jeremy, all the people over there.

Laura, I appreciate you guys.

Thank you guys.

Sean, I'm, I'm grateful that man, you, you, you, you like talking to Christians and I'm one of the Christians you like talking to that you named in front of the legendary Lee Strobel.

So thank you for that.

But again, in all of this, I think that there is a cultural moment right now that that is happening.

And I think sometimes there's a, a line in the sand that needs to be drawn, which in my opinion is a good thing.

Now, in a moment, we're going to look at some other aspects of this that's happening with Ben Shapiro and the idea with Gen.

Z and where things are going in general.

But before we get into that, I figured this would be a good time to introduce myself.

So I can't wait to see you guys.

OK, let's keep it moving.

So I can't wait to see some of you guys in person on tour.

But what's encouraging about everything that's been happening in society and in culture is that it ultimately reminds us that because of Jesus, people really can change.

And not just individual people, but culture can often shift, hearts can soften, and communities can move in a healthier direction.

But renewal doesn't mean we pretend problems don't exist.

And this is where discernment really matters, especially when we're talking about real people, real communities, and real accountability.

Look, as an immigrant myself, I, I try to be careful when speaking about groups, right?

Because criticism isn't always the same thing as contempt and honesty isn't always the same thing as hate.

But that brings us to what's unfolding in Minnesota right now involving the Somali community.

Public funds and a story that deserves, in my opinion, careful attention.

Not slogans, not generalizations, and not more slop.

So let's look at this video real quick.

OK, I got to set out this creator.

I've, I've highlighted this stuff before, Minnesota's fraud and what no one will say this is Kaizen as a DOE.

OK, I don't, I don't know his faith per SE, but I love the way he thinks and nuances these issues, which I think it's important.

And he is going to kind of recap what the fraud situation is, which again, we covered yesterday, more or less.

There's a bunch of daycare centers that claim to have children.

They're receiving public funds, but those funds don't seem to be going where they claim they're going.

And he kind of explains it and then gets into how this is being played by the media.

So check this out.

Here's how the fraud works.

Members of the Somali community, daycares and healthcare companies.

Many were clustered together, 22 healthcare facilities listed in one building.

These businesses received millions of dollars of Minnesota taxpayer money, but many appear to be fronts.

The investigator visited over a dozen childcare centers.

No children at any of them.

One.

OK, so this is Nick Shirley, I believe is his name.

He is a YouTube and he's since been like confronted by Somalis on the street, you know, claims of Islamophobia, all that sort of stuff.

But one of these even has a typo.

Now here's the here's the pushback that I did here.

To be fair to whatever's happening over there, some of the pushback I heard is that

they showed up at 11:00 in the morning, but these daycares don't open until 2.

And so some other creators, specifically Poetic Flacco, who I've interacted with a bit, has said he's going to go out there and show that there really are kids at these facilities, or so they say.

I don't know.

I don't know.

But I want to get into the deeper issue here that Quezon is about to eloquently point out to us.

Learning Center misspelled learning on the.

That's crazy.

By the way, you can't have Learning Center misspelled.

Your side, The FBI confirmed they're investigating fraud networks within this community.

Federal prosecutors say the total fraud could be as high as 9 to 10 billion.

That's a crazy amount, 9 to $10 billion.

And people are tiptoeing around it.

But this fraud is being perpetrated by members of a specific group, Somalian immigrants.

Now, Governor Walls says pointing this out is white supremacy.

This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit.

This is what happens when they scapegoat.

And this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy.

No, governor.

Now, what I'm going to say next is going to be controversial, but you know, a way to perpetuate actual white supremacy is to keep calling everything white supremacy.

If you just keep saying everything is racist and everything is fascist, what that does is that it now makes those words mean nothing.

So then there's actual racist, fascist, bad faith actors that are going to fill that void and going to be accepted because now, well, you're just going to call me racist anyway.

Fine, I might as well really come out and be that way, says Nick Foon says, says the groupers, says the far right, the woke, right.

This is the issue with like everything now becoming quote, UN quote white supremacy.

And by the way, I'm not, this isn't me being fringe or or being biased.

The Smithsonian museum did an installation several years back where they said attributes like work ethic and punctuality are frameworks of whiteness.

OK, work ethic and the punctuality.

This is, this is real.

Like these things have been perpetrated said by the Smithsonian museum.

So these words lose their meaning and then people that are actually on that time end up sliding in and not treating fellow image bearers of God as created in the image of God.

They start viewing them as inferior.

My advice to folks on the left that the the 10 of you that still watch my channel stop it, get some help.

By the way, this is what I'm talking about.

Whiteness as a cultural construct, defining it through norms like work ethic, nuclear family, individualism.

OK, which critics argued unfairly labeled these as exclusively white traits rooted in racism, sparking controversy and the temporary removal of a related graphic sign from their website.

OK, so work ethic, nuclear family, individualism, Protestant work ethic.

Those are attributes of whiteness and white power, according to the Smithsonian Museum.

No, governor, pointing out fraud is principled.

We're not criticizing you because of race.

You're using race to escape criticism now as someone.

Well put by the way.

Brilliant line.

Brilliant line.

Whose parents immigrated from Africa.

Let me explain something.

Humans are hardware.

Culture is software.

Our hardware is fundamentally the same.

Our software is wildly different.

America.

OK, So why is that important?

Because a lot of what we're hearing, especially from the far right, is no, hardware is different.

These people are inferior.

These people are superior, right?

You're starting to hear this sort of stuff that friends, is actually racism.

Like when you're telling people, hey, because of your race you are therefore inferior or you're just dumb, or your IQ scores will always be lower.

That is actual racism.

And that's crept into many of what's happening.

I mean, we've seen Nick Fontes, but it's not just Nick Fontes.

Now you have folks like Tucker Carlson interviewing Nick Fontes and platforming Nick Fontes.

And it's not just Tucker Carlson.

Now you have, quote UN quote, Christian leaders, pastors like Joe Webin, who's now interviewing Nick Fontes.

And do you think he's going to hold him to any of this sort of stuff?

You think he's going to say, hey, Nick, you said here that black people are just genetically not as smart as white people.

And this is this is just hardware.

I doubt it, right?

But these are the types of things that are going to impact when you have pastors sitting down with someone that is unapologetically racist, unapologetically has said racist things, these things start to impact downstream effects.

So humans, hardware, hardware is generally the same.

Yes, I understand some people might be taller, Women might be different than men in certain aspects, but generally the same software, culture, family values, that's going to be different.

America's software prioritizes universal principles, the nation state and the rule of law.

That's the constitution.

The software of developing countries often prioritizes tribe, heritage, customs.

That's OK, but it's different.

I've been to Ghana three times.

My parents are from there and I feel like an alien when I visit because same hardware, different software.

In many places in Africa, if you get stopped by cops, bribes are expected.

Governments are dysfunctional because they're run by people who value tribe over nation.

And when I visit, I think, man, am I grateful to my parents.

They didn't come here to take.

And I would just add, he's talking about Ghana.

I can't speak to Ghana, but I can speak to folks who came out of Azerbaijan and folks who came over as refugees from Azerbaijan, whether they're Armenians, Russians, Ukrainians.

When you come out of the former Soviet Union, there is a strong cultural bent towards Marxism, strong cultural bent towards communism.

They romanticize the days of the former Soviet Union.

They love the nostalgia of it.

And the reality is it is a different software.

It is a software that kind of expects the government to take care of you.

When you see me railing against communism or socialism, it's because that's that's MyHeritage.

I've seen the the the effects of it up close and personal, and yet there's still folks in my family that like a form of Stockholm syndrome, have a romanticized view of communism.

OK.

So I think he's spot on in his software versus hardware aspect.

OK, let's jump back into it.

They didn't raise me to be African American, they raised me to be American.

That's not the mindset of every immigrant.

OK, now this is crazy.

I've never seen this clip.

Now this is Ilan Omar, OK, And she serves in Minnesota and this is a clip apparently their former Somalian Prime Minister saying some wild stuff.

She, he says the interest of Elon are not Elon's not the interest of Minnesota, nor is it the the interest of the American people.

That's literally should be her interest.

This is the American people.

It's the interest that of the Somalians and Somalia.

This is a current sitting government official.

OK, who, by the way, her net worth went up to $30 million since she's been in her position.

OK, this is this is craziness.

These people choose their tribe over this nation.

We should only admit immigrants running compatible software.

People who don't just ask what America can do for them, but what they can do for America.

That's not what the Somalis committing fraud are doing.

They came to take, not make.

Their hardware isn't bad, but their software is incompatible.

And when anyone points this out about fraud, about illegal immigration, someone pulls the race card.

But that's just demonizing instead of understanding good faith critics.

Meanwhile, politicians are weaponizing your empathy and exploiting your fear of being called a racist.

And you know who gets hurt the most when Somalis break the law?

The Somalis who don't.

Who gets hurt the most when Somalis break the law?

The Somalis that don't, the reality that there are good Somalis, there are Somalis that are desiring to integrate, to assimilate, to be American.

And yet when you have this sort of fraud, it then cast the entire shadow on the whole community, which shouldn't happen.

That's why I'm doing this video right now, right?

Because multiple things could be true at the same time.

They could be fraud.

They could be bad faith actors.

They could be people doing stuff maliciously and not committed to assimilating to culture here, while at the same time there could be people that are generally probably excited to be in America and want to experience everything there is and they're assimilating to American culture.

What percentage are that?

I don't know.

I don't know what percentages there are, right?

But I do think that this is a very interesting conversation.

And the less we're honest about it, the more good people are going to get hurt.

The American thing to do is for them to hold their peers accountable, because if you won't hold your tribe accountable, you've chosen your tribe over this country, right?

But if that's what you want, why are you here?

Yeah, Yeah.

That's a good question.

That's a good question.

When you don't hold your own accountable, you're choosing your tribe over your country.

You're choosing your people based not on the nation that you're a part of, or based on values that you aspire to or or or or or the the truth that you're hoping to live out.

You're choosing your tribe and your your loyalty is misplaced.

See, there's a hierarchy of values.

There's nothing wrong with loyalty to your people.

There's nothing wrong with loyalty towards your community.

OK, but loyalty has to submit on the altar of truth, on the altar of honesty, on the altar of doing the right thing.

And if loyalty is the North Star and so I'm just going to look the other way.

Well, my tribe do the things that they know we know they shouldn't be doing.

We know that this is wrong.

When that happens, it casts a shout on everything.

And so this is within the context of the church.

Like how often do we see cover up culture that then, you know, creates and and it causes a black eye to Christians as a whole.

Now, those of us that are in these circles, we know that Christians are not a monolith.

There's all sorts of different denominations.

There's the hyper charismatic, there's there's cessationist, there's the frozen chosen, there's, you know, swinging off the chandeliers and there's everything in between.

But what happens is certain pockets and certain theological or or doctrinal swings tend to be more productive, protective of their own than others.

And tragically, with what Mike Ringer is doing, we're seeing that more so within certain charismatic circles.

Didn't notice I didn't say charismatic circles.

I said certain charismatic circles because I'm a charismatic.

Mike Ringer is a charismatic remnant radio charismatics.

And we will stand 10 toes down and say, hey, Nope, that's wrong.

And that's wrong because we need to be able to call our own foul and others don't.

And that creates a, a, a dark shadow, sometimes too general over the entire Christian community.

When there's fraud going on, when there's abuses of power going on, when there's cover up culture going on, these things don't help the move of Jesus, they harm it.

And so if I'm using a spiritual or church example, this applies to individual communities as well.

So calling your own out is actually a good thing.

And I think this is probably why people are frustrated with what's going on in Minnesota is because that doesn't seem to be happening within that community, right?

Again, another example, faith related.

When you see terrible things happening with regards to activities by Islam and people doing stuff in the name of Islam and people doing terrible things in the name of jihad, you don't always see those communities calling that out.

Often times they'll justify, they'll say, well, America's the oppressor.

Well there's colonialism, well, there's the occupation.

Well, there's so there's this, where's this?

And so there's this more explaining it away then there is actually saying, no, this is wrong.

You should October 7th shouldn't have happened.

OK.

This terror attack shouldn't have happened.

It is wrong, period.

You don't see that often from those communities.

They'll justify it away and they'll they'll say, well, what do you expect people to do?

And you know the religion of peace.

Yeah, it's not the religion of peace.

Things are connected.

Okay?

So we have to be able to call our own foul.

And I think that is huge.

So I appreciate this brother for addressing this and putting it in a way where we can understand it.

Go give them a sub if you haven't.

So yeah, show them some love.

And this is where all of this really matters and comes together for us.

Choosing truth over tribe.

We have to be willing to choose truth overtry because calling out other people is easy.

I mean, that's what a lot of YouTube content is.

But calling out your own side is where it actually cost you something.

And that's why the reaction to Ben Shapiro losing 30,000 subscribers is so interesting.

A lot of people are framing it like this was some sudden backlash for his speech at Turning Point, which he was booed at.

We're going to look at that in a second.

But the bigger story is that Ben, to his credit, has been willing for a long time to critique parts of his own movement, the conservative movement, even when it cost him his followers.

Now for the record, and I've said this before, guys, I don't agree with Ben obviously on Jesus or his claims about Christianity, but I do respect someone who's willing to speak truthfully even when his own tribe turns on him.

So this has been going crazy on social media today.

Ben Shapiro has lost 30,000 subscribers over the last 30 days, averaging losses of 1000 per day and 10,000 per week.

And they have his Social Blade here pulled up.

And then it has other people pointing out that, well, Shapiro ends 2025 without any growth in YouTube subscribers at all.

According to Social Blade, the declining interest appears to have began well before his attacks on popular conservatives for not denouncing people he demanded.

So folks are saying, well, it's because of what happened at at the Turning Point event and because he, you know, he crashed out on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and Megyn Kelly.

But if you look at the data, this is 2025, he's consistently started losing followers way back.

And it looks like March, excuse me, it looks like May, definitely after April, June, July, getting gains a little bit of followers, you know, and then back down in December.

And so he's been consistently losing followers.

Also, other people are saying he, you know, he got booed at the at the AM Fest event.

And some people have pointed out that he actually had a huge crowd in the room that was with him.

Like I play his little walk out section Shapiro.

So seems like people are cheering.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

OK, so I don't know, it seems like people are cheering.

So so so here's the the question you got like folks like Dave Smith pointing this out, ha ha ha.

You know the one the macro of this is Ben Shapiro has like 6,000,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Him losing 30,000 in a month, I don't think is going to move the needle much for him.

Two, I think there's a disconnect between what's happening on the Internet and the reality in the room Now.

I wasn't at Amfest, but everyone that I know who was at Amfest, from Mike Jones and Aspiring Philosophy to Mike Winger, my friends Lucas Miles, who overseas Turning Point, Faith, all said that Ben had a huge response in the room during his speech, that the audience was with him and the audience didn't seem to be with Tucker Carlson.

If you listen to the actual speeches, you can kind of hear that in the room now.

Again, wasn't there, but that's kind of what I gathered as well.

So there's one a difference between what's happening on the Internet and people that are chronically online that maybe a year or two ago liked Ben, but now because their views have changed on Israel, don't like Ben and what's happening on the ground at in person events.

But even if that weren't true, let's just say hypothetically that he is hemorrhaging followers and people are turning on him and his entire thing is Astroturf, that no one really likes Ben Shapiro and the, you know, the words of Candace Owens.

What how are you not ashamed to be alive?

Which is, by the way, it's just something really gross for her to say.

But but let's just say he is hemorrhaging subscribers.

Here's the reality.

You should be willing to lose subscribers and to lose clout within your own tribe at the expense of speaking up to what you believe is true.

And I'm not, I'm not talking about Israel per SE, though I would agree generally speaking, as we covered on yesterday's video and as I've done my deep dive on Israel, why I think like this, holding Israel to an impossible standard that you don't even hold the terrorist to, by the way, it's so stupid and goofy.

But I think that if Ben is standing on his principles and specifically the principles that he is getting losing followers for seemingly is calling out his own folks, calling out his, you know, former friend or current friend Megyn Kelly, calling out Tucker Carlson, calling out Candace Owens, calling out Nick Foon says calling these people out because of bad ideology, because of bad ideas.

I think it's noble and I think you should be willing to do that and at the expense of losing some of your own followers.

Now, I, I, I will say this, and I've said this privately, by the way, I don't know Ben, but I do have friends over a daily wire.

I wish this was started earlier.

I wish this was started years ago before Candace Owens went full on, you know, anti Israel, anti Jew, because the right writing on the wall has always been there.

Those of us have been keeping up, have known that yeah, she's a little off for a rocker and she's only grown more and more unhinged, right.

And so in in my own content, I haven't gained a ton of subscribers since talking about the stuff I've been talking about since coming out as hey, I think that October 7th was awful.

And Israel has a right to exist and defend itself, which, by the way, that's the actual definition of Zionism, not whatever other people add to it and try to sauce it up and use it as a bad word.

I yes, I don't, we don't, we don't gain subscribers for these sorts of takes because often times it's going against the tide and the tide, unfortunately right now is tating Jews is kind of in right from the Nick Fun says to the hyper conspiratorial route to you name it.

It's, it's a popular position have it's growing.

I am OK with losing subscribers for calling out falsehood and standing on truth.

I'm totally OK and matter of fact, we do this, I say every year, every every six months, we intentionally draw a line in the sand with certain things to cleanse.

I, I, I see it as a cleansing of the weirdos from this channel and I'm OK with taking dips and views.

I'm OK with standing on truth over standing with my tribe for the sake of what's better for people and what's true and connected to, to God's truth.

Now again, I'm not I'm not saying that you know, then doesn't need Jesus.

I think he does.

I'm not saying that Israel is without its faults and and critique.

I think it has false and critiques.

As a matter of fact, when I was in Israel, I was critiquing Israel when I was in Tel Aviv, I was talking about these things, right.

I was interviewing Christians on the ground.

So people were like, oh Ruslan, you you don't ever talk about yes, yes, I have 2022 till now.

I've been pretty consistent with some of my criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu, some of my criticism of the far right in Israel, some of my criticism with the way some of the stuff has been handled in Gaza.

But generally speaking, if we're talking from first principles, what would happen if the same thing happened to America?

30,040 thousand Americans were killed because a cartel came over from Mexico that that hated America.

America would respond likely way more harshly than Israel did on October after October 7th.

But this is the issue of living in this Internet bubble, is that folks who are chronically online sometimes, not always, but tend to be more susceptible to sliding into flat out lies or tropes that have worked historically to again create a US versus the mentality instead of nuancing aspects.

Notice that when I talked about the Somali situation, I didn't generalize all Somalis as fraudsters and and no sorts of things.

I said no, there's certain people that understand how to finesse certain things.

And yes, that does cast a bad light on the community at large, but that doesn't mean the entire community is guilty.

They might be complicit, but that doesn't mean they're all guilty, right.

And, and with, with regards to Israel, the vast majority of people in Israel, Israeli citizens are what American leftist would call people of color.

They're Sephardic Jews, they're Ethiopian Jews.

They're they're not the white colonizer, you know, folks that get kind of lumped in and, and, and just dismissed as Ashkenazi Jews, though I think they're real Jews as well.

This, this sort of stuff is so interconnected.

And so I think it's important for us to say, hey, I respect him for being willing to stand Santos down on his values at the expense of losing subscribers.

And I actually think it's a good thing when the wrong people who are following you for the wrong reasons leave.

If you think I'm just going to placate to whatever's popular on the Internet, whatever Tucker Carlson and Nick Foon says is talking about, yeah, leave lying in the sand.

Can't can't rock with me and also think that it's based to be racist.

Can't rock with me and also think it's based to hate Jews.

Can't rock, right?

And that's not that that shouldn't be fringe like this should be basic Christian thinking that, hey, there are bad ideologies for this.

And if you want to attack me personally for it if you.

You're going to say, oh, you got your shackles from Israel roost on the death, $7000 check come in.

No, no, didn't come in.

Wish.

I mean, hey, I, I, I wish I would have got a check, but I didn't get a check.

And that's OK because there's certain things that are more important than audience capture.

If you haven't heard this concept of audience capture, what it means is that sometimes on social media, Youtubers and creators and influencers will get captured by their audience.

Instead of trying to capture an audience and get an audience's attention, they'll do something almost on accident and it works.

And then the audience captures them and then they have to keep making the same type of video over and over about stuff that they may not even fully agree with, right?

I don't want that.

I'm cool with that and I'm OK with people leaving and that's fine.

But by the grace of God, man, what we've been doing here with what your guys support with the channel growing with all these different things, despite all of this, like despite us losing subscribers, we're still up 5000 subscribers this month.

I'm grateful for that.

I'm, I'm, I'm grateful for you guys.

I'm grateful that our Patreon community supports us.

I'm grateful that you guys went crazy for our big Christmas and Black Friday sales.

Those things mean the world.

I'm grateful that our Blessed God Summit is selling way more tickets this year than it did last year.

Because at the end of the day, when I'm in the room with people, when I meet people on the street, when I meet people at church, when I meet people at events, the energy is way different than the haters in the comments.

And, and I would argue that that's probably the same thing that Ben experiences.

Again, I don't know, Ben didn't get a call from Ben or my, my, my handlers at the Daily Wire or anything like that, but that, that would be my guess.

And so I, I think this is a good thing for him, by the way.

And I think the people throwing stones or throwing stones from their glass house, like Dave Smith has less than 500,000 subscribers.

Like, what are you talking about, bro?

You, you, you probably have gained as many subscribers within the last three months that that Ben can lose and still have the vast majority of his audience.

It's like point 2% of his audience.

So it's a goofy thing to see people throw stones at Ben Shapiro over this.

And so as I said, sometimes losing subscribers is actually kind of cleansing.

I also very much enjoy blocking people on YouTube and hiding them because they just keep leaving comments After they leave a hateful comment, I'll block them and they'll keep leaving comments into the ether not knowing that they're blocked.

YouTube is savage for how they do that.

But ultimately, when you're losing subscribers or when someone says something crazy in the comments and I blocked them, it's ultimately exposing what ideas people are are loyal to and how far they're willing to go to defend them.

And and that's where this gets more serious than platform or metrics or online backlash and haters.

Because when ideologies harden and never get challenged, which This is why it's important for us as Christians to be engaging with people we disagree with, it doesn't just fracture audiences.

This can radicalize people.

Some of you guys know people in your own personal life, that personal lives that have been radicalized by some of this stuff, right?

And that's what makes this next story worth paying attention to.

Federal authorities stopped a New Year's Eve bombing plot here in Southern California tied to an anti government group that openly praises Hamas, calling for violence and testing explosives.

This is what happens when ideas go unchallenged and never get replaced with something better.

So let's take a look at what actually happened here.

OK, now, just for the record, this story is still breaking, still developing.

It says FBI charges for a New Year's Eve plot in Los Angeles.

All right, check this out.

More breaking news tonight.

The FBI says it stopped a plan to bomb several places across LA on New Year's Eve.

Officials say four people who were arrested over the weekend in Lucerne Valley where the FBI says they were preparing to test explosive devices ahead of the attacks.

FOX 11's Laura Diaz joins us now live from downtown LA with more on this story.

Hey, listen, FBI has been catching a lot of Flack.

Props for them for catching this situation and stopping the situation.

They're doing their job and this is a good thing.

So props to the FBI for, for, for stopping this.

This could this, this could have gone really left, especially in downtown LA, especially on New Year's Eve.

Laura yes, Susan, organized, sophisticated and extremely violent.

That is how prosecutors describe this alleged plot.

As you just mentioned, it was supposed to take place on New Year's Eve, they said.

And they went on to say that it would strike very close to home.

The individuals were arrested on Friday, December 12th when the group attempted to construct and detonate IE D's out in the desert.

So it looks like they were plotting this and attempting to actually test the bombs and it looks like they caught them red handed testing these bombs, which again, props to the FBI for this.

FBI says this video Friday in the Mojave Desert shows homegrown terrorists moments before they detonated a bomb.

Investigators say no, no, no.

People will say political violence.

It goes both ways.

Not with this group.

They had a very specific ideology, that weird horseshoe theory between the far left and anti Israel, anti Jewish, anti conservative idea.

So no, this this was not that.

This is radicalized leftist much like we've seen to take out the president, much like we've seen actually take out Charlie Kirk, right.

So miss me with that.

It was a test for five planned simultaneous New Year's Eve bombings at Southern California corporate locations at the stroke of midnight.

According to the US Attorney.

The suspects are an anti government anti ice network operating under the code name Operation Midnight Sun.

She said, quote, what we are doing will be considered a terrorist act.

The exact U.S.

companies that were targets were not disclosed Monday.

Notice that it all overlaps.

Anti anti capitalist right?

Anti Israel leftist, pro Hamas, anti ICE.

This is why worldview matters right?

Because this is a worldview that's in opposition of a Christian worldview.

Now, again, I'm not stamping everything ICE has ever done.

I'm not stamping every operation they've ever done.

But the idea of borders not needing to exist, that is a anti Christian idea.

The Bible presupposes borders.

The Bible presupposes borders.

This is just a fact, right?

But details of how they hope to execute the lethal plan were Investigators allege the bombs were hidden in backpacks and marked with graffiti that by attacking at midnight, they plan to go undetected as holiday fireworks shows provided cover.

Man, that's dark.

That's dark because fireworks would have been going off so they could have set off bombs and people wouldn't have known if those are fireworks or bombs.

FBI bomb technicians confirm the step by step recipes for black powder pipe bombs likely would have worked.

The four LA residents arrested were alleged members of an extremist group called Turtle Island Liberation Front.

Goofy name Goofy.

You guys could pick the bigger name, but I guess this is what Goofies do.

They pick Goofies names.

30 year old Audrey Carroll, 32 year old Zachary Page, 24 year old Dante Gaffield and 41 year old Tina Lay.

All face charges of conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device.

Retired LAPD Deputy Chief Mike Downing, who headed up the Anti Terrorism Task Force, told me what really bothers him is the apparent burgeoning homegrown network Death to America.

Right, the danger.

Death to ice.

Liberation Front.

There is that.

Palestine.

You see the pro Palestine thing?

They're sharing ideologies, they're sharing resources, they're sharing training.

Every there's no, you know, the pure ideology seemed to be mixed bags, so to speak.

And I think that's that's dangerous.

Nearly 8000 miles away.

I don't think it's a mixed bag.

I think it's the horseshoe again, I think it's the horseshoe theory.

It's the weird.

It's the weird thing where the far left has an overlap with anti Israel, anti capitalist, pro Palestinian sentiment.

That's that's that's the horse.

You mean they meet on opposite extremes?

The attack on Hanukkah celebrants in Sydney, Australia, that left 15 dead are a stark reminder of fomenting hatred.

Best eyes and ears that we have is the human ring of steel in all of our communities that are strong and and keep this keep those communities strong.

You have to call out your own.

You have to call out your own.

You don't look the other way when people in your own community are misbehaving.

You don't choose loyalty over truth.

You don't choose loyalty over justice.

You have to call out your own.

Prosecutors say that the plot didn't end there.

There was a follow up attack planned in the new year to attack ICE agents with pipe bombs in downtown Los Angeles.

Yeah.

And so as more and more is coming out, they have all sorts of stuff, anti capitalist, anti government.

You have quotes from some of these folks.

Death to Israel, death to the USA, death to the colonizer, death to the southern colonization.

What is this talking about?

This is talking about Israel.

So it's crazy that people are getting radicalized with Jew hatred.

I bet you none of these folks have ever been to Israel.

I bet you none of these folks have ever been to Gaza.

I bet you none of these folks have ever been on the ground and seen what's happening.

And yes, seen some of the idiosyncrasies and how Christians may be treated different.

No, none of this stuff, right?

And so you see this sort of stuff play out and that weird horseshoe that's connected.

These people have awful ideology and awful ideology has downstream effects, right?

If convicted, this group of self professed left wing radicals will face decades in federal prison.

We will continue to investigate and prosecute any and all terror groups that bring them justice.

OK, yes, make an example out of these folks for sure.

For sure.

Make an example out of these folks.

So when we're talking about these sort of things, I'm, I'm, I'm sharing this with you because it's all connected, like the hatred that Jewish people are receiving, connected to the spread of information and often times lies on the Internet.

It's all intertwined.

It's all impacting people.

But, but here's a, here's the deeper thing that I really want to get across to, to those of us, especially if you're watching this video and you're a follower of Jesus, hear me loud and clear, friends, we don't just have an alternative worldview.

It's not like, oh man, the world's going to hell in a handbasket.

So I'm going to do something opposite.

I'm going to be a contrarian and be a Christian.

No, no, no, friends, we don't have just the alternative.

We have the antidote.

We have the antidote to all of this despair.

We have the antidote to all of the awful, awful stuff that's happening on the Internet.

And, and, and listen to me, that antidote looks like you and I living out who Jesus calls us to be.

Looks like you and I getting aligned with the version of you that God is calling you to be.

And not not being afraid to grow, not being afraid to repent, not being afraid to change, not being afraid to lose subscribers or lose influence or or lose status.

I'm not saying be a jerk.

I'm not.

I'm not advocating a jerk for Jesus Ministries, OK?

That's not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is, hey, when you have the antidote, you shouldn't be afraid of trouble in the world.

When you have the antidote, you shouldn't be afraid of any backlash.

And again, listen to me.

The stuff I'm dealing with as an influencer is way different than what most of us are dealing with on the ground.

Because on the ground, you know, what matters most is not what take you have on X and how you dunk on the libs and how you dunk on the other side and your based views like that stuff.

It doesn't doesn't mean anything in the real world.

You know what people are watching.

You know what your non Christian family members are looking at.

They're not looking at your Instagram feed per se.

I mean, probably they might be checking it out, but they're not looking at what you posted on Instagram, what you posted on X or the the base take you had.

You know what they're looking at?

They're looking at your daily life, They're looking at my daily life, they're watching my day-to-day life.

They're watching what kind of husband I am.

They're watching what kind of father I am, they're watching what kind of friend I am, and they're examining those things.

Those are the things that really matter when it comes to these conversations.

You see, the apostle Peter writes in first Peter 212.

He says live such good lives among the pagans that though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits them.

So what what we're looking at is how we live our day-to-day life, how we live in this world even though we're not of this world.

And some people are like, you know, because we have a whole collection called among the pagans and some people are like Ruslan, why do you use the word pagans?

Well, because Scripture uses the word pagans.

But if we look up what the word Pagan means in our trusty Logos Bible software, which by the way, Logos is giving all you guys a free 60 day trial.

What I was able to do there is I was able to highlight this word pagans go into the the Greek, the original language that it was written in.

And then it takes me to what the original word was, which is ethnos, ethnos, nation, people, gentiles, the nation, the people, the gentiles, the unbelievers, the nation of people beyond what we're familiar with, the nation, the nations, the unbelievers, those that are not in our tribe, right?

And so this word is used sometimes to mean Pagan, sometimes to mean people, sometimes to mean nations, gentiles, ultimately non Christians or non Jewish folks, right, ethnos.

And we see this word used a couple of times.

Jesus uses it to save the nations.

Gentiles, pagans own people and so live such good lives amongst the nations, amongst those who don't know Jesus, amongst those who are gentiles, live such good lives among them that though they accuse us of doing wrong, though they may say, Ruslan, I don't like your views on the unborn.

Ruslan, I think you're a bigot because of your views on same sex attraction.

Ruslan, I don't like that thumbnail.

But what they can't do, those people that really know me, the, the non believers that really know me, am I real life?

The folks that from the LGTV community that really know me in my real life, the folks who are atheists that really know me in my real life, the leftist in my real life.

What they can't do is they can't look at my life and say, Ruslan, you're a hypocrite.

They can't look at my life and say, Ruslan, you're not a, you're a bad person.

You, you, you, you, you, you, you're not a good father.

They can't, they can't do that.

Why?

Because it's my daily life that's going to win the respect of outsiders as we see demonstrated.

And one of my favorite verses, this is in First Thessalonians chapter 4.

This is what my book Godly Ambition is about.

If we Scroll down to First Thessalonians Charter 44, verse 11 and make it your ambition to lead a quiet life.

You should mind your own business and work with your own hands, just as we told you.

I can't get into the ambition thing, but I wrote a whole book about it called Godly Ambition.

And then the next part, verse 12, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anyone.

So we make it our daily life.

These folks in this context, we're dealing with persecution.

They were really obsessed with end times.

They were really expecting Jesus and wanting Jesus to come back as quickly as possible.

But Paul says, man, you still need to be of some earthly good like you.

You, you have to work with your hands, OK?

You have to mind your own business, OK?

Lead a quiet life, OK?

Why?

So that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders.

Let's look up this word outsiders here.

What is this word outside?

OK, it's exo, exo, exo, the outsider.

So it's not the word Pagan, but it is someone that is outside of your community.

So we live such good lives that the outsiders, those that we don't know Jesus will see our daily life and we'll say, man, that may win the respect our daily life, not, not our great theology, not our polemics, not our philosophy.

And oftentimes the biggest influence we have is to the folks who we're in proximity with.

And so anyway, hopefully that's encouraging to you.

Hopefully that's empowering to you.

Hopefully that's inspiring to you saying, hey, you don't need to be a influencer or a YouTube or a podcaster.

There is a revival happening right now.

I believe that, I believe what Lee Strobel said, but the reality is that revival is not going to happen in on on screens necessarily.

It's not going to happen on YouTube necessarily, necessarily.

I think I think these are great outlets.

That's why I'm on them.

But I believe that revival is also not going to happen in stadiums like we see Forrest Frank and Brandon Lake are doing stadiums.

Yes, that's that's a beautiful use of media and live events.

All that is great.

But you know where I believe this revival is really going to happen?

It's not in arenas, it's not on screens, it's not in stadiums, it's not in massive groups.

I think that revival is going to happen in your living room.

I think that revival is going to take place at your kitchen table.

I think that revival is going to take place when you say, hey, I'm I'm going to walk into everything the Lord has for me and I'm going to live my life amongst people that don't know Jesus is all these folks are flooding back to church.

I'm going to live my life in a way where though they may disagree with my worldview, though they may disagree with some of the things that Scripture teaches, they cannot look at my life and say, Hey, you're, you're a bad person.

That is that it's your daily life that's going to win people over.

So anyway, hopefully that encourages you guys.

If you want to go deeper on some of that, I have a whole book about it called Godly Ambition.
