What's going on everybody? To tell you the truth, I'm exhausted. [laughter] It's been a heck of a night and a heck of a day. I have been engaging with these various folks on X about these different debunking videos that they're putting out about Candace Owens. This account Lisa knows, which we'll get to. I'm about to take you through what she's been doing. Um, but she is actually going to go on Paramount Tactical tomorrow, I believe. Um, and then she'll be with me live on Friday, as I announced yesterday. And they got to talking about me. I had responded to one of her posts and then Gary from Paramount Tactical put out a message underneath of it and called me Karen. And maybe I'll take you guys through that here in a bit, but saying that she doesn't owe me [laughter] Um, and the only thing that I did was prove that I was a bad faith actor with her. Um, yeah, and then he blocked me. So, in any case, yeah, I'll take you I'll take you guys through that maybe after the fact, but um, yeah, I it looks like here I want to get to some super chats here before we get into it. Um, and I apologize for being late. It just took me a while to to put everything together for you guys here today. Coach Colin mentioned me on on his show. That's great. I'll have to go check that out. Thanks for letting me know. Um, I want to give a shout out here to a new member. Uh, what's up? Again, reminder for you guys, if you do get a membership here with me, then I will, uh, be doing a membersonly show where we can engage. And it looks like this person just gifted 10 ZCastella memberships. Wow, that's awesome. Thank you. I really appreciate that. Um, and then this one here, we get to these super chats before. Very generous donation. Thank you very much. And we'll get to the rest of these super chats here at the end. So, don't hesitate you guys to drop them here in the chat um as the video goes along. But, hello fellow Goyam and siblings in Christ. Hello, my fellow Goyam and siblings in Christ. All right, let's get into it, guys. Uh, no more wasting time. Look, Graham Allen put out a hit piece on Candace Owens that her opponents are sharing, claiming that is it has ended her. She cannot recover from this. They say Graham took it upon himself to be the martyr and say what no one else is willing to say about Candace Owens. And you guys, you need to brace yourself. Also, Candace Owens dropped a wild update on the situation developing between Erica Kirk and at the time 15-year-old girl named Jillian that I'm going to take you through here. As you know, as I just mentioned, I've invited this woman who goes by the name of Lisa Knows on social media. She has been doing viral videos, videos that have been going viral of her debunking uh Candace's claims that Erica Kirk and Jillian uh she says just had a mentor mentee relationship. She put out another video I think later last night which again the coordinated campaign against Candace they say completely debunks this Erica Kirk is an alleged groomer and didn't do anything wrong narrative. you know that she is going to bring up these points on Friday in our debate. So, we're going to go through them now and let's see if it does debunk Candace. We're going to start there. I'm Zach Costello. >> On her show stated that Jillian had said that the photographer's name started with an R, but she couldn't remember his name. His name is Joe Alysa. Does not start with an R. She also stated that Jillian said that he was short, chubby, and unattractive. This is what Joe looks like. This is a screenshot of Joe, the photographers's ex account, as I took it last night. This is the picture that he has posted. Again, could this be somebody else's photo that he's using? Sure. But that'd be kind of weird. Um, as a photographer, you're trying to promote your yourself. So, but not only that, I immediately noticed that he is reposting posts that have to do with Jesus and a quote from John MacArthur. Seems like the guy is a Christian. He also follows a lot of conservative accounts. And right there he has his website linked. So I went to it and I'm expecting, you know, Candace made it sound like these people were trafficking young girls. They're going to be, you know, this is going to be some salacious modeling scantily clad young girls. The guy does professional head shot and lifestyle photography. Very clean. Everybody's covered. Nothing inappropriate is being shown. >> All right. So Joe Alyssa looks to be the photographer. Doesn't begin with an R. She got her, you guys. [laughter] Candace already said that she didn't catch his name, but for someone who spends so much time on this, you'd think that she'd do a little bit more research. This is not Joe Alyssa in the photo as she claimed that it was. Let me go back and show you guys what she's talking about. So, she's pointing to that photo right there of Joe Alyssa. That's him. He's a good-looking guy. It's not who Candace said. It's not some overweight weird looking guy. So, that debunks Candace's claim that Joe Alyssa because this Joe Alyssa is some good-looking guy unlike Candace said. Well, that's wrong. Like, look, I'm, you know, I'm not I don't have my mind in this like she does. She's the one that's going back and forth on all this stuff. But I want you guys to take a look at this. This is Joe Alyssa's page. That guy right there in the top left, you see that picture right there? This guy, that's that profile picture right there. That's his profile picture on X. He puts the p the people that he photographs, he puts their pictures as his profile picture. So, what she said was weird is exactly what he does. And I'm going to show you guys this because I decided that I was going to go all the way into this guy's Instagram into the depths of it to prove her wrong. This is where I'm at with all this stuff. Um, but here's this guy. Look, his name is Shawn Thompson. That's the dude right there. That is the guy. Sean Thompson. He He gets photographed by this dude all the time. So, there's that. Okay. And then Lisa then goes on to connect a couple of Jillian's messages and makes the claim that based on her photos and messages that Jillian's mom did know about the photo shoot. Candace originally said that the mom did not know about it. and the mom, as uh Lisa is claiming here, actually took her to the photo shoot. Let's take a listen to this. >> So, the day that Jillian announces the photo shoot being booked is March 6th of 2014. And then she gives her shout out to Joe, the photographer. Okay, I also noticed something else that happened on March 6th. Jillian's mother surprises her with a nail appointment for them to go get their nails done. Seems to me like mommy knew that she had a photo shoot booked and wanted to take her daughter to get her nails done. On March 11th, we have Jillian getting a brand new dress to wear to this photo shoot. And on March 13th, we have her saying that she made a professional makeup appointment to get her makeup done. How many 15year-olds do you know that don't have a driver's license, don't have a car, and are able to drive themselves to get their nails done, buy a new dress, and get their makeup professionally done. Also, how many 15-year-olds do you know that are going to be paying for all of that when Jillian doesn't have a job? Her mother absolutely knew about this photo shoot, which Candace claims that her mother did not know about it. her mother absolutely knew about it and was actually paying for things to prepare for Jillian to go to this photo shoot. And exactly like stated, the next Friday on March 14th of 2014, we get this post from Jillian saying it's time and she's in the exact dress that she had bought on the 11th. Now, I want you to notice something. She is completely covered from head to toe. By the way, this dress is the most modest like appropriate attire for a 15-year-old. It literally goes up to the neck. It's a high collar longsleeved dress. Very appropriate for a 15-year-old. Now, Jillian gives us a playby-play of this entire day. And when you open the tweet up, it will actually give you the exact date and time stamp. Now, X shows you the time zone of the viewer. Whoever is looking at it, it's going to be in your time zone, not the time zone of the poster. So, I'm in Arizona. Jillian was in Michigan when she posted this. I am currently two hours behind Michigan. So, it says 10:07 p.m. on March 14th of 2014. That would be 3:07 p.m. Michigan time. Then we have her thanking Joe the photographer at 2:45 p.m., which would be 4:45 p.m. Michigan time. Then at 2:56 p.m., which would be 4:56 p.m., we have Jillian making a comment about her mother's driving because yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's right. Jillian's own mother drove her to the photo shoot. >> Okay. All right. So, first of all, all of this information, these these additional messages came out after Candace's last episode, but Candace also claims to have spoken with Jillian. And this right here, if Jillian's mom did know about this and take her to the photo shoot, would be an adjustment to the information that Candace has. Again, she has done this. Candace has. And she does do this when new information emerges despite what all of her critics say. How many times have we seen her make an adjustment and clarify her mistakes when new information is presented? This stuff that she just found here, she goes and she talks about it in this video. It just came out. Like these messages were added somehow to Jillian's account, which is interesting. A whole bunch of new posts just get put on. How does that happen? In any case, in any case, all of this mental gymnastics and all of this talking, you guys, what are we talking about here? What is the meat of the matter? Which is that Erica Kirk inserted herself into this 15-year-old girl's life and was exchanging inappropriate messages with a 15year-old girl when she was 25 years old. Okay, we need to bring up this message. Let's bring back up this message again. Let me call you. Hold on, sweetheart. Give me a sex. Wow. Okay. Haha. Sack. Correction. Sex, too. But not from you. Lol. Again, when you issue a typo in a text message, you don't follow up with something like that with any of your friends or anything like that. I mean, what what you do is you say, "Oh, shoot. I'm sorry. That was voice text. That was Siri. My mistake. That's weird. Okay. You know, you don't say sex to but not from you. This is completely inappropriate to do with I mean, like I said, like I said last week, maybe I would do this to my wife joking around, but nobody else. Certainly not a 15-year-old girl if I'm 25 years old. Lol. And then they laugh about it. And then she finishes. I don't bat for the other team just yet. So then she jokes around about being gay with this 15-year-old girl. Oh my goodness. So what are we talking about here? Okay. And then we've got the memes back and forth of I want to be in your lady garden. Know what I'm saying? Like or I want to touch your butt. The Finding Nemo. And this Lisa, she discounts those things because Jillian sent them to Erica. We have no proof that Erica had anything to do with these memes. Well, when you use this text, this message right here with the give me sex and sex too but not from you and I don't bat for the other team. When you use this message right here and then apply that context to those memes, it certainly makes it look bad. It certainly makes it look a lot worse. Okay. Now, Candace posted a wild update, as she called it, today because she got a tip that someone upon further research discovered at the time of her textual relationship with Erica. Jillian lived in a trailer park with a neighborhood that is known for the highest incident of child sex trafficking. I forwarded the information to Jillian and she confirmed it to be true. So, to recap, after striking up bizarre friendship with a 15-year-old girl who lives in a trailer park without a father, a then 25-year-old Erica proceeded to lovebomb Jillian by telling her how beautiful she was or is. She then asked Jillian for her address to send chocolate covered strawberries, meaning Erica was plenty aware of where Jillian lived. Erica knew she was not living with a father in a home, just like Erica knew she was a minor. And yet, according to Jillian, this did not stop Erica from arranging her to get photographs taken. And then that last line says without ever having communicated this with her mother. See, it's interesting here because we obviously have uh a difference. Candace has been apparently talking to Jillian and Lisa, I would assume, is not talking to Jillian. So, it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out here with the mother and whether or not she knew. Um, so we'll see how that plays out. But here we go. So, let's get to the actual tip itself. Hi, Candace. I have an interesting connection for you regarding Erica Fran in Auburn Hills, Michigan. As a Metro Detroit native, current residents of Bloomfield Hi Hills, it was widely and well known that the Great Lakes Crossing outlet and then that address there, 400 Baldwin Road, Auburn Hills with that zip code, is the number one sex trafficking location in the state of Michigan due to its confusing layout. And I just want to clarify that is not that's not the uh that's not Jillian's address. That that is a the Great Lakes Crossing outlet. This is this is describing uh I I believe a shopping center or an outlet. So it's just identifying the location that it's near. Okay. Nobody's being doxed here. Um but that's in close proximity to I75 Expressway, making getaway very easy and convenient. and proximity to urban uh blighted areas such as Pontiac. I work down the road and my patients and I I I know never go there alone as a woman or at night and to keep your children close at all times. Okay, it has a very scary reputation. See attached for evidence. All right, let's fast forward here. In addition, I did some searching of Jill uh Flacone, I believe is how you pronounce her last name. current and previous addresses to see her positioning to see if her positioning in life made her v made her a vulnerable target for Erica. Sure enough, see the attached evidence. I'm not trying to shame the girl, but these are facts that I think you need to be aware of and to give you some insider Michigan perspective. I know you have been in touch with Jill. Maybe you can confirm this. But I believe at the time of her relationship with Erica, Jill Falconee may have been a resident of and that's redacted. She she blocked that out, which is good. But in in any case, she's talking about the trailer park on the outskirts skirts of Pontiac. That's also her old address. Okay. So, this is the tip that Candace is getting that this is a very dangerous area as far as sex trafficking and sex crimes go. Okay. I went to the sex offender registry, which you can do if you guys didn't know this. You can actually see where registered sex offenders are in your neighborhood and I use that outlet uh address that was provided in the tip. for around Auburn Hills, Michigan, and using that zip code. And that fact checks true. Look at the cluster of registered sex offenders in this area. Okay, that's a lot. Like that's that that proves what she is saying right there is true. Okay. Candace then brought up a number of Erica Kurt connections with sex trafficking incidents if you guys have forgotten. But this involves Tyler Boyer. Look at Candace's post here. Turning Point USA opens up their headquarters directly across from Arizona Mills, one of the highest places for child sex trafficking in the state. Erica Kirk ran Romanian Angels to work with Romanian orphans. Erica Kirk launched her Make Heaven Crowdtor with Pastor Greg Lori of Harvest Christian. Uh she did that despite his church currently facing 12 lawsuits from 2025. Erica Kirk lived in China to work with child sex trafficking victims. Uh, she denies ever having lived in China. And then there's the last one right there. Jillian lived in the number one neighborhood for sex trafficking. Okay, I mean, all of this at the very least, at the very least, you guys, this is the most generous and most charitable perspective towards Erica Kirk for this situation. All this at the very least makes one question the character and integrity of Erica Kirk. Okay, this is what we are getting at. We all care a lot about what happened to Charlie Kirk. And it seems like his wife, who was doing everything possible to make it into stardom before they were married, to make it as an influencer, as an entrepreneur, as a CEO, has now stepped into the role after he died and morphed into something that is much different than who she put on to be during their marriage. It's something much different now. and she's leading Turning Point USA, an organization that meant a lot to conservatives in America, away from the direction that Charlie wanted it to go. Now, let's get to Graham Allen. He starts this off by claiming that Charlie Kirk was afraid of Candace Owens because if he ever turned against her, she would burn him and the entire TPUSA organization to the ground. Let's take a listen to this. >> That the thing that gave Charlie literal ulcers from anxiety and worry was Candace Owens. It is known by everyone inside that whenever Candace would come up, Candace is calling, she wants something or she wants to talk about something or she wants to come this, she wants to come that, Charlie would be riddled with such anxiety that other people would have to talk to Candace for Charlie because Charlie knew what Candace actually was. It's like that scene from Halloween. I don't know how many of you have seen that, but there's this scene with Dr. Lumis and he's talking about Michael Myers and he's talking about the fact the first several years he spent trying to reach Michael Myers and then the next 10 years he tried to keep him locked up because he saw that what was behind those eyes was nothing but pure evil. I believe that the same thing happened to Charlie behind closed doors with Candace Owens. Charlie at some point saw what was behind Candace Owens's eyes and all he wanted to do was figure out a way to appease her enough to not have her turn against Turning Point because you're seeing what happens when Candace Owens decides she wants to destroy something, somebody, someone, some movement, whatever it may be. Charlie lived in fear of Candace. Not because he didn't believe that he could defeat her, but we had elections to win and it looked best to look as a united front in front of the world so we could win this elections. And he knew of what she was capable of doing if he did not. That's the truth. That is the truth among the truth among everything. >> Okay. So, it's interesting to note because just opened up about this last week. Candace just mentioned this last week why she and Charlie split up and why she left Turning Point USA. She mentioned that this was because Charlie was dishonest with her about meeting with a particular donor. I think what has become very clear is that Charlie Kirk was not afraid of Candace Owens as Graham talks about here, but he was afraid or concerned about what his donors thought of Candace Owens. He expressed those frustrations in the last days of his life when he said in that now famous text messages that because of the stereotypical behavior of Jewish donors, I have no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause. And he talked about bringing Tucker Carlson and well he talked about never getting rid of Tucker Carlson but he talked about bringing Candace Owens back on. Okay. Charlie was afraid of Candace Owens. Come on. Charlie had to answer to a lot of Zionist donors who were making his life a living hell. And that was his mistake. So, yes, Candace probably could have burned it all down because when you have an organization that's full of chaff and you set a match to it, the whole thing could burst into flames and burn up. We know these issues Charlie was dealing with and Candace was the one telling him not to. But here is the final clip and this is what her haters are saying ends. Candace Owens listen >> responses to the allegations. But now I feel that it is time to just tell the truth. Right? That's what Candace Owens says all the time to it's time to tell the truth. It's time to let the cat out of the bag. And here's the truth that no one has ever wanted to say for the entirety of the past decade. And that is Candace Owens has, this is the biggest kept secret inside the conservative movement. Candace Owens has been the biggest thorn in the side, diva, absolute nightmare wrecking ball to the entire conservative movement behind the scenes for the past decade. That's the truth. That's the truth. Anyone who's not on record in front of a camera, they'll tell you the truth. Every single person that has ever worked with Candace Owens that's not still being paid by Candace Owens or has an NDA with Candace Owens, they can't stand her. Okay. >> Horrible. [laughter and gasps] All right. Graham Allen says this is the biggest kept secret inside the conservative movement and that will destroy Candace Owens. No one has had the courage to say this until now. Until Graham Allen just did. And brace yourselves, guys. What What is it that there are conservatives that don't like Candace Owens? Oh my gosh. I had no idea. I had no idea how will she survive this. Oh my gosh, this ended her. All of this debunking and all of this ending. Look, there are some people that are just problems. Okay, Candace Owens is a problem. Think of someone like Kanye West. He's a problem. Like, and I mean that in a good way. Like, I myself, like I'm unemployable. I talk about this all the time. I understand Candace Owens. I understand this independent against the grain, against the grain, excuse me, anti-establishment mentality. And I think a lot of people do that follower. I think a lot of you guys that follow me do as well. Here's what it comes down to. I'm not a conservative. Okay? I'm going to come out and say that to you right now. this conservative movement, this Republican movement, this MAGA movement. I'm not a conservative. I'm not a Republican. I'm not MAGA. You know what I am? I'm a Christian. Any Christian that labels themselves something of this world is an idoltor. There's no man or party that I prioritize over Christ and the truth. Okay? Christ is the key to remaining on the right side of history always. But this makes us a problem to those who are in charge, to those who are in power in the world. And this has been the case for authentic Christians who have stood their ground for the faith throughout history. And we will finish with Jesus's words here. Matthew 10, chapter 16 through39. A longer one today, but this is going to equip us with the strength that we need in times like these. Okay. I am a wolf or I'm sorry, excuse me. I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore, be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils, and you will be flogged in the synagogues. On my account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. But when they arrest you, do not worry about what you will say or how you will say it. At that time, you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking through you. Brother will betray brother to death and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by everyone because of me. But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly, I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for students to be like their teachers and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Bezobub, how much more the members of his household. So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight. What is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are there not sparrows sold? Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your father's care. And even the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows. Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will acknowledge before my father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my father in heaven. Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies will be members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it. And whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Christians throughout centuries, authentic Christians throughout centuries, have always been a problem to those who are in power. This is a universal truth of our faith. It's not going to change now. It has always been the case. Let's get to some comments. Eric, I see you there, a regular. Hey, Zach. Great to see the channel growing. I appreciate it. I wish it would be growing faster, but can't be too picky. I appreciate you. Always be true. Another regular. Happy Marty GR. I will be offline during Lent. Don't miss me too much. I'll see you on the other side. Keep fighting for truth. I'm going to miss you. You're here every single day. I'm definitely going to miss you. But I enjoy or I'm I I encourage you to stay off during Lent. I think that's a great thing. Um I'll continue. I mean, this is obviously my job, so I will continue to be on. um publishing and doing this live on a daily basis. But um I I definitely appreciate your detachment from social media during Lent. Um I hope you stick to that and I wish you uh a happy detachment and fasting from YouTube and social media. I hope it rejuvenates your mind and gets you closer and more aligned with God so you can come back more clear on what your God-given purpose is in this life. Jamie, thank you. Gary is a low IQ fed. He blocked you because he can't outwit you. Lol. God bless you and your family this Lent. Keep up the good fight. I, you know, it's disappointing to see that that he blocked me. Um, back in December, I emailed Gary about having him come on my channel, come on my show, so we could talk about some of the differences that uh we had arrived at and that we were covering. I didn't know anything about Gary until he started covering the Charlie Kirk investigation. Um, and he was putting out some pretty good stuff early on about, you know, just the overall uh, you know, on-site assassination stuff. I he originally thought that Charlie Kirk was wearing body armor and I did a video that fairly clearly debunked that. Um, I mean, it's I don't even like using that term because everybody uses that term now and nobody does anything. But um yeah, I mean the debunking that that everybody's doing nowadays is really just like finding out more information and then updating the information so that we can get to the actual truth. [laughter] It's like all right, like okay, Gary thought he was wearing body armor and that's what caused the deflection up to his neck and that's why there was no exit wound. like that. That was one of his arguments and I very clearly showed that you could actually see prior to it that you could see Charlie's chest outline and nipples in certain pictures and it was very obvious. And then in addition to stuff that Erica was putting out about him not wearing body armor, I think Turning Point USA clarified he was not wearing body armor. Uh that caused him to change. So the So what are we going to say here? that because Gary thought that Charlie was wearing body armor and he was vouching for that. Does that make him a conspiracy theorist? Does that make him a liar? Because he was wrong about that. So, you know, the return of the favor back to anybody who is maybe turning over stones that that end up being wrong or uh maybe they make a mistake at some point along the way in this investigation. like for him to then come out and just like bash everybody as terrible people and as as bots. You see, he's constantly saying that if anybody disagrees with him, like he has people attack him online on X and in his comments on uh his so on his YouTube feed, uh these are all bots. It's like, dude, have you thought about the fact that like there are real people that probably just don't agree with you? >> [laughter] >> I mean, it's it's frustrating because I literally reached out to him so we could talk face to face manto man about these things and then he literally like responds to one of my posts on this Lisa lady's profile and then calls me a Karen like curses at me and then blocks me so I can't even respond. It's like all right dude like way to act like an adult you know appreciate you. I mean I'd if he unblock I mean I don't even care if he unblocks me. I'd be still happy to have him on so we could talk about our differences. Like I just don't agree with him on a number of these things now. Thanks for that though. Intuition Jen, you gifted five memberships. Thank you so much. That's that's awesome. Thank you for that. Uh Marty, thank you. I told coach you were early about the casket, not late. Um did he say that I was late about the casket video? I mean, obviously I know that I put it up Uh, you know, obviously it came out in the weeks after in the week or so after Charlie died and I put it up yesterday, but I thought it was time for us to revisit it given the updates that have come out and the latest behavior of Erica Kirk. So, I figured it was something that we should actually put out in put out into the into the public sphere so we could talk about it and hash it out. And yeah, that post went pretty crazy viral. I mean, I think it's last time I checked it was at 4.8 8 million views. Um, so obviously there's been some builtup frustration and anger regarding that post. I don't know if you guys saw this on X, but go and look at my X feed because that post caused the trending topics. It qualified as a trending topic on X. And when I clicked on that, you know, when you click on those trending trending news articles or those trending news topics, it'll give you that Grock summary up top. I I looked I clicked that and looked at it and Grock was explaining what was going on. And in that in that Grock message, in that Grock summary, it said that Tyler Robinson was in custody for having assassinated Charlie Kirk and that Tyler Robinson had later committed suicide. >> [laughter] >> It said the Grock AI summary said that Tyler Robin has since committed suicide. Isn't that crazy? Isn't that crazy? So, a lot of crazy stuff came came from that. But yeah, I mean, is is uh did coach Collins say that I was late about that message? I don't know. I mean, I I I know that it happened a while ago, but it's you know, we were talking about my wife and I how weird it was. cuz I explained that to you guys yesterday and it was time to bring it bring bring it back up and apparently I was right. So anyway, Katie, uh, thank you. Greetings from Finland. Stay strong. Wow. Awesome. Cool. Uh, nice to know I have a fan in Finland. That's cool. Global. Zack that Zach Castello channel is global. New member. Thank you for joining. Let's go. Intuition Jen, another one. Appreciate you. Great Bible verse. We are watching this verse play out in real time. Yeah, I uh thought it was very relevant and it was actually one that I was talking with my family about this past weekend um with regard to what it's going to take in this modern time to fight the things that we are up against. Um, I've said to you guys many times, I mean, this this battle that we're in with Zionism, um, being considered anti-semitism and that going against, uh, 2,000 years of Orthodox Christian belief, we are entering a time where Christians, authentic Christians that have that ascribe to orthodox Christian belief, original Christian belief, are going to be labeled as anti-semmites and there is a very serious and powerful lobby on behalf of those Zionists and they will crack down on us. Um, and it's not just it's cracking down via social media censorship. They are working by hook or crook to repeal section 230 so that they can wage lawfare against these social media companies for allowing the spread of anti-semitism, which is anti-ionism. You see where this is going? Okay, I shared these posts on X yesterday. Go look at it. But 400, let me get the exact number for you guys. Where is it? Bear with me. Give me one second. It's going to be right here. 401 out of 535 members of the House of Representatives and 62 out of 100 senators receive funding from the pro-Israel lobby Apac or associated with Apac or other pro-Israel interest groups. Okay, that is a major major portion of our government that is bought and paid for by the pro-Israel lobby. Okay. And they they wage lawfare like there are there connected to this lobby are militant organizations like the ADL, like fight anti-semitism. Not only do they wage lawfair against these against anybody that they deem anti-Semitic, they are talking about obviously attacking the social media companies, getting us off alternative media. They are talking about going after our employments. They our our employment and our jobs. They are publishing addresses, work addresses. They're basically doxing people and and um and publishing people's companies that they deem anti-semitic. um the the president of Stop Anti-semitism, you can look at that X account, but the Stop Anti-semitism accountbr um I believe it's a nonprofit, um has said that they have made it their job and they have people working full-time to ruin, literally ruin the lives and financial ability of anybody who they consider anti-semitic. So this is a very serious problem that we are getting ourselves into here. Um this is a this is a historical religious issue and it's something that we need to be very aware of. And that verse that I just read from Matthew um is extremely relevant and timely. I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Okay? We need to be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. Guys, wake up. It's happening. Thanks for that. The Rachie, pray for the Jews. We all need Jesus. I agree. I I totally agree. Look, it's not the individual person that it's not these individual people that that we that we attack or that we hate. It's the ideology that consumes them. It's the belief system, right? And we need to remember that like these these individuals, these people are consumed with a specific ideology that is not of Christ, that is not Christian. So our role as it has always been because Christian history is not one of Christians revoling in violence against our oppressors or against the the different institutions you can say that oppose us in this world. No, we are called to go forth and make disciples of all nations. We are called to go forth and win over win over to the way in truth and in love but in a in a in a very in a sharp and effective way. Okay. But we do that through truth and we do that through love. Okay. And if we have to, if we are called to put ourselves in danger for doing so, and if it means getting in the trenches and getting ourselves on the front lines and getting ourselves into trouble with these opposing powers at B right now, then that is the call of our time. Look, there are church fathers. There are saints throughout our history. There are martyrs throughout our history that, you know, were handed over and fed to lions, were were crucified, were crucified upside down, were burned at the stake. I mean, burned and roasted, literally tortured. You know, you can think of it as we we have it pretty easy if if maybe they just uh shadowban our YouTube account. [laughter] No, [gasps] you know, you know, we don't, again, there are different there are Christians in other places throughout the world that actually are dying for the faith. And um I hope it doesn't come to that in America. This country was created so that people of all faiths could practice their religion free from tyrannical control, whether that be another religious ideology or uh just a secular state ideology. And um that's at risk right now. So it's a scary thing. It's a scary thing because what is very clear about Christian history is that um many have died for the faith at the hands of tyrannical religious and secular ideologies. I did not grow up in a religious home, but I have gained so much knowledge from your videos. I appreciate all of your hard work and your ability to educate the audience on this historical religious issue. I really appreciate that. Um, you know what I will say is that my main reason and purpose for doing this channel is to be able to communicate these truths about the Christian faith in a way that I hope is unique and effective from my own perspective, you know. Um, I really appreciate you saying that that you've gained knowledge from from my videos, thank you for that. That means a lot to me. Um, I'll continue to do my best and and and step up to the plate. Thank you, Natalie. Thank you for becoming a member. All right, guys. That's it. Check out zacostello.com. Uh, you can buy yourself some Godfirst merch or some One Nation Under God merch as well. That's a good way to support the channel and also get something in return. Um, I appreciate all of you. Uh, let's work to uh fight this fight and to stay in truth. This is a nasty battle that we're engaged in. Um, it's not easy. You know, I started this video out saying that I was tired because seems like it's hard to make progress on social media uh with regard to fighting for the truth. There's so many different opinions out there. There's so many I don't know, bad faith actors. And you know, to be honest with you, I it's it's I I'm allowing this Lisa individual to come on on Friday to talk about these things and and this debate. You know, I I kind of have an idea of what it's going to be like. I I know what she's going to do. She's going to go through this whole mental gymnastics type of deal that she's been going through to try to prove that Erica was a good mentor. And look, my concern is it's not going to be that it's not going to be that great of a conversation and a debate because when it comes down to it, it's just like I don't agree. I don't agree with you that Erica Kirk is being a good mentor to this young vulnerable girl right here. And I look at that I look at this from the perspective of being a parent. I I think that it's just very obvious and common sense that if somebody was engaging with your child like this, talking, joking about, you know, different sex things, pretending they're typos, sending these memes back and forth. If my if my son or daughter were sending memes like this to someone who was older than them, 25 years old, who's maybe getting them to try to do something from a profession standpoint, I'm going to step in. I'm going to be like, absolutely not. Who are you talking to? Cut this person off. Absolutely not. get away from my son. But look, I I'm a father. This this young girl didn't have a father. And if her mother ended up taking her to the photo shoot and her mother saw what was going on with Erica Kirk and talking about these things, then, you know, I'm questioning the parenting decision is what it comes down to. All right. So, but what's frustrating about this is I was engaging with her and I don't want to go too far down this rabbit hole, but this is where the Paramount Tactical um situation comes up because I was engaging with this girl. I invited her on on the show today on Tuesday and she refused because she said she had the flu. She said she was sick and she couldn't speak. So, I was like, "All right." like and then she asked if we could do Friday and I was like, "All right, we'll do Friday." I I was partial to doing it sooner because her video topics have been trending and you want to hit the trending news, but then so I I so then she puts out the toast that she's going in enemy territory and I said, "Enemy territory? Wow. Uh that's crazy." You know, um we're going to have a conversation. And I I'm going to be interested to hear how you plan to defend Erica Kirk in this circumstance. Like it's just interesting to see that so many Christians are willing to die on the hill of defending Erica Kirk in the way that she's talking to this 15year-old girl. [gasps and sighs] All right. So then I put a post out. I I I I put that post out. Enemy territory. Wow. It's incredible how many Christians are willing to die on the hill. this was okay for Erica Erica Kirk to talk to a 15-year-old girl like this. And then she responds with a post on her ex feed with a video, a video with text and a video of her responding to my tweet to to what I had just posted. A video talking about the enemies of Christianity. And I responded that video and said, "Hold on. I I I thought that you had the flu and you couldn't talk. here you are publishing a video talking about how I'm an enemy of Christianity. Like what's up with that? And then she responds with, "You better delete this because this post I put up last week." She was she put up a video responding to me. Like we're having a real-time conversation. She put up a video that she published last week calling Candace Owens her enemy. Like what is that? Like what is that? Like we're trying to have a conversation back and forth and then you use a video that you that you use from last week to to come at me when you're when you're talking about Candace Owens being an enemy of Christianity. Like I am not Candace Owens. I'm not Candace Owens. And so I just said, "All right, sorry." Like got me this kind of And then I'm sorry. Excuse me. This kind of stuff. It just frustrates me. And then that's what Gary from Paramount Tactical said. He he commented on that post and then said, "She doesn't know you anything." Blah, blah, blah. Called me a Karen. Called me a bad faith actor. It's like, "All right, man." And then he blocked me, so I couldn't even respond. So, that's where we're at. But that's a little why I'm I'm I'm kind of drained today. But in any case, guys, um I appreciate all of you and uh I will see you tomorrow. I'm Zach Costello.
