Video Transcript:

Good evening, everybody. I'm Gene Bailey, and you are watching Flashpoint. Thank you so much for tuning in tonight. Well, it's another busy day in American politics and what's going on in our culture, and we're going to break it down for you tonight. Glad you're with me. Well, tonight Lance Wallnau is back, Pastor Hank Kunneman, our friend Dutch Sheets, and Amanda Hale.

You go, well, that's the That name sounds familiar. Well, she's the co host alongside John Solomon of Just the News, No Noise, airing daily on Real America's Voice, and the host of the Furthermore podcast. Amanda, welcome to Flashpoint. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me back. I love coming on. Yeah, we love having you here.

And you recently explained your new appointment and what you're going to be doing at the White House. Well, you know, I am moving across the country and taking a position as a White House correspondent. So I'll be spending my days at a new famous address at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and dividing time between that we will continue doing the TV show and my podcast as well.

So I'm just trying to cram everything on my plate that I possibly can. I know that the Lord hasn't put me in this position if I'm not capable of doing it. So I'm just going to draw on that strength and look for opportunities to be salt and light. And that's it. We should just say good night. That's that's a good enough right there where everything you just said more than than like Hank says all night long.

So just kidding. Thank you. All right. So let's jump into the news before I get into any more trouble. Well, Listen to Pete Hegseth's opening statement. If you watch this show at all, and if you watch Victory Channel or any of our sister our syndicated outlets, you will love what Pete said in his opening statement.

Watch. And as Jenny and I pray together every morning, all glory regardless of the outcome belongs to our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. His grace and mercy abounds each day. May his will be done. You know, right there, I think he should be confirmed Dutch with, with an opening statement like that. What do you think?

I think so. I'm with you a hundred percent. I got to see a little of it today. I were very impressed with, with him and how he handled things. You know, I love seeing these guys who God, whom God, God has redeemed and transformed their lives. And now they're, they're just being a witness for the Lord and doing great things.

And I think he's. I think he's going to make a great leader. I believe you're, I believe you're exactly right. Amanda, let me get your take. Pete Hegseth, what do you think? I think he's fantastic. You know, we knew that they were going to sling all of these accusations against him. Frankly, it was just a refrain from what we had already heard coming out of them leading up to this.

So there really was nothing spectacularly groundbreaking. The point of these confirmations for senators on the opposite side of the aisle. And so they can get these sound bites and they can send it out to their donors. We all know that that's truly the purpose because pretty much all of them, save for maybe Joni Ernst, who just announced that she is going to support him.

But for the most part, they all know which way they are going to vote. And it's typically party line, except for a few, few holdouts. But I love the way he carried himself. I love the way he defended himself oftentimes with humor and And, you know, there were instances that required maybe a little bit of acerbic retort, and he delivered that as well.

I think he's probably going to get confirmed. I don't see anybody who is going to be able to hold out well enough and build a faction around themselves to prevent it, and I think he's going to be fantastic. He talked about transforming it from a woke culture to a warrior culture, which holy smokes is that what we need at the Pentagon.

Every other country out there, especially our adversaries, have had their eye on this country for four years, knowing exactly what's happening within the walls of the Pentagon and finally some change from a true change maker. That's true. And you know, he's, he's been on the show here before and it was a great guest and talking about his war on warriors book.

But it was an interesting transition. You know, I'll take, go to you, Lance. We saw this transition from Fox and friends, a news guy to this I was quite impressed with him today. Lance, what did you think? What's going on here? What's going on here? Well, Jean, I have to confess something. I was in the studio recording all day and so.

Obviously I come on the show with this sense of prophetic anticipation to see what happened that I didn't know. But we've been watching the preparation for this. Megan Kelly and others had done a great job of dripping out all the dirt so that you know he got the girl drunk and he slept with this right in that one.

So you hear all the salacious stuff. That's how these guys, you know, there's a strategy to getting confirmed so that you're not hearing anything. It's going to be a bombshell here. But what you are hearing is the shrill voices of a predictable left leftist response. And it must really gall them because when you start off your testimony with my wife and I pray and I give all praise of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

It's like eeee because where they want to go is they want to paint you to be an undisciplined, dangerous you know, alpha male who's loose at the frat party. And now you're going to come off sounding like you're a disciplined Christian who's living conscientiously in the fear of God. And it's only going to make them look more petty.

And more political, which is exactly what's happening. And you're right. And he showed great restraint. There were some of these questions that you're like, Oh, come on. And I was watching him. He did great job. He didn't take the bait. In fact you can say it was back to the warrior spirit. Watch this.

Jason, he's going to be completely honest. He'll be upfront in, in his one on one meetings that he has had. He's really dazzled. I would say most of the senators that he's met with his grasp of the issues, his knowledge of the department. talk about Pete's commitment to the Department of Defense. His readiness to step in and lead.

There's a reason, Brian. We're right now. As of this moment, we have dozens of veterans Gold Star family members, supporters of Pete's who are camped outside of the Dirksen Senate office building ready to support him in that committee meeting today. Additionally, we have dozens of veterans will be marching up from the Vietnam Memorial to support Pete as well.

That's because people believe in Pete Hexeth. They believe in President Trump. Let's get the woke out of the military and get back to the warrior spirit. And that just sounds wonderful. Pastor Hank, get, get the woke out of the military. I mean, this is marvelous. What we're hearing. Yes, you know, well, you know what woke is going broke God's been saying that we're watching this and here's the other thing that I think Is very significant is the fact that God is Bringing a reset to United States of America like he's been saying and part of that reset is to make America great again part of that greatness is to have strong leaders like President Trump.

And so Judges 5 verse 2 says that when you have strong leaders, it causes people then to willingly follow. And we know what happened in Judges 5 is they absolutely prevailed over the enemy. And that's really where we're heading. We've got a lot of giants, but we're going to see it through. Lastly, I did get a clip that my wife showed me you know, with the, Pocahontas interviewing him.

And I think she went all the way back to when he was in kindergarten. You know, do you remember when you were mean to a little girl who sat next to you? I mean, that's how ridiculous it gets. It's time to look at those that are qualified and move them through. Our nation needs strong leadership today.

And part of that strong leadership is the ability to trim the fat watch. Senator, we're going to address that. We won world war two with seven four star generals. Today, we have 44 four star generals. There's an inverse relationship between the size of staffs and victory on the battlefield. We don't need more bureaucracy at the top.

We need more warfighters empowered at the bottom. So it's going to be my job working with those that we hire and those inside the administration to identify those places where fat can be cut so it can go toward lethality. Towards lethality Dutch seven versus 44. That was an astound. I had no idea. It was that quite quite a large difference in those two eras No, I had had absolutely no idea either But we do need a trimming and we all know that and and it's good to hear people speak about it and, and address it.

I think Hegseth will do that. He's the kind of person we need in there. He's not afraid of these people. He's not ashamed of, of his past, but he's also no, he knows he's been transformed. He has obviously done his homework. He speaks very clearly. He speaks very intelligently and he is what we need.

We need some people in there with backbone. We need people who are loyal. He will be loyal. And I believe the cleanup is going to go to another level and it's exactly what we need. It is what we need. Well, these hearings did have a few spicy moments. In fact, here's one I want to show you when the Dem attack went awry.

I don't know of any corporate board of directors. That would hire a CEO for a major company if they came and said, you know, I supervised 100 people before They'd ask you what kind of experiences you had. We need innovation. Can you give me an experience or your actual experience of driving innovation in an organization?

Give me an example of where you have done that. My goodness, Senator. Absolutely. At Concerned Veterans for America, we created the Fixing Veterans Healthcare Task Force, a bipartisan task force that had never been done before to create policy, to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought ferociously against.

We got the VA Accountability Act passed. And the mission act passed in a way that a nonprofit of our size veterans organization has never done. And that's testified in all the letters that we put forward to the committee, which are on the record. I have limited time. Thank you for that. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Amanda limited time. You're not answering the way I thought this was going to go. So please stop talking. What do you think Amanda? You say this, this is normal attacks you know, from the left. Any surprises here? No, I mean, first of all, the skill set to be a CEO is very different from the skill set to be the Secretary of Defense, the person whose leadership is literally leading warriors.

I would think, call me crazy, but I would think that one of the highest qualifiers for that position is someone who has actually fought in the military and someone who has Actually seeing combat, which by the way, he has plenty of that experience. And when it comes to the Pentagon and its management as a bureaucracy, just kind of throwing back to your other question regarding the bloat and what can be done to trim the fat.

This is an agency that has failed. I think we're up to eight audits now, eight audits in a row. And what has all of the money done that has thrown to the Pentagon? Sure. We need money for military readiness, but what has all they they have gotten practically every single dime that they have asked for. And look at where we stand right now on the world stage.

Our reputation has completely collapsed. This president, Joe Biden, has lost the, has lost all respect of practically all of our adversaries. Our recruitment is suffering. The morale of our soldiers is suffering. So the, the, the problem is not necessarily a lack of funding. So you trim the fat and you replace the person at the top and you replace the woke garbage with, with.

A pride in America and patriotism and readiness and a warrior mentality. And those are the things that actually make it click at the Pentagon has nothing to do with the funding and it has nothing to do with the garbage that this guy was trying to spew at, at Pete in this confirmation. Yeah. But Amanda, Amanda, listen, would you, would Pete Hegseth have been your first choice if you were making the choice?

Ooh, that's a good question. Cause I, I didn't know he was not my first choice. A motley crew of individuals. These are folks who you would not, Linda McMahon at education, you know, there are a lot of these folks who you wouldn't necessarily place in these positions. They're kind of a, you know, a suicide squad type type group of rogue individuals, but they all have that one element that we talked about at the top of this presentation.

block and that is that they are change makers. Cash Patel at the FBI, RFK in there within the health agencies, Tulsi Gabbard at intelligence. These are people who are actually going to enact change, who are sick of the way that things have been run for our entire lives. And I think that as far as what fits into the lineup of change makers, I think Pete Hegseth,.

I think he fits in pretty well. Oh, I think so too. Alright, Lance what about you? This wasn't, wouldn't have been, I just never thought of Pete in that role. No, no, no, but here's the thing, here's the thing I think about. Everyone that Trump picks, with the exception of Linda McMahon, I'd say, who's, remember her, I interviewed her, and I'll never forget how embarrassing it was.

I said, so how did you come to know Trump? She said, well, my husband and him were business partners. I said, oh, in real estate? She goes, no, Vince McMahon from World Wrestling. I go, oh my gosh, you're Vince McMahon's wife. So, so, you know, even, even when you're one step removed in Trump's world, it's a, it's a zany world that you're, you're walking in.

And what, what Trump looks for, now catch this, he lives off of media. He watches media. The reason why Tulsi and, and, and this pick here were, were were a cut above the alternative is he's looking for telegenic people. He actually wants the people that are going to be the most important to be competent in front of a, of, of a camera, articulate, well spoken, able to handle stuff under pressure.

RFK, he has a voice problem, but he's, but he's, but he's a compelling communicator. Every one of them. has what Trump looks for in star appeal because he really gets media and he knows that when the grilling comes, he wants Pete. Looking right, speaking right, he's, he's, he's Ivy League educated, combat tested, he'll handle the pressure, he's actually the right Hollywood casting for what Trump wants to do and They're all ideologically or ideologically in alignment with dismantling the system, which is what Trump's after.

Alright, well, watch this, Lance. I'll get your comment. This is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. This was the big mic drop moment of the morning. Watch. I guess I better use the Senator from Virginia starts bringing up the fact that what if you showed up drunk to your job? How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night?

Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign for their job? And don't tell me you haven't seen it, because I know you have. And then how many senators do you know have got a divorce before cheating on their wives? Did you ask them to step down? No? But it's for show. You guys make sure you make a big show and point out The hypocrisy because the man's made a mistake and you want to sit there and say that he's not qualified.

Give me a joke. It is so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself as this higher standard. You forget you got a big plank in your eye. We've all made mistakes. I've made mistakes and jennifer, thank you for loving him through that mistake because the only reason why I'm here and not in prison is because my wife loved me too.

This is not what you would normally hear, Lance, at a hearing. I love it. Oh, I'm telling you now, now it's getting interesting. Yeah. But you know what, and how true that speech is. How many of those guys, you know, you keep hearing about McConnell fell down and so and so fell down. Of course they fell down, they were inebriated.

We all know why they're falling down. It's not because of their age, it's because age and drinking doesn't work. But it's great to have, Truth told. The only other thing I'm going to say is, they're going to go after Trump's people and they'll use the same logic in each of them. What qualifies you for this job?

And the answer, resoundingly, is the American people voted for Donald Trump because he was an outsider, because they were looking for someone who wasn't corrupt inside the system. They wanted David with a slingshot, not one of Saul's dysfunctional soldiers to face the giant. Because America believes that the guy that is the most qualified isn't necessarily going to come out of the system.

He's not, you know, in fact, I think that's a great way to wrap up this section, Pastor Hank. I mean, when we see what happened here with J and that was just Pete Hexeth and we've got so many more to go through. I was actually, I don't want concerned. I was curious what was going to happen today. But I think I agree with Amanda came through with flying colors and I believe he will be.

Confirmed but as we look at this, this is really a take on all of, not just a politics, but all of America and what we've been through for the last four years. This is not what you expect, but this is what God has actually placed in front of us to meet what he needs. Go ahead. I know you've got a comment.

Well, well, I think again, to your point, here's where we're at in America right now. We are. a nation that the remnant has turned to God. That's gotten his attention. And whenever you get God's attention, here's what God does. He begins to bring righteousness and he brings justice. And what we're seeing from some of those that are bringing these accusations, for example, of what we saw is they want to camp out.

On issues that really the American people are looking at going. Wait a minute. Okay. So this guy had some indiscrepancies that doesn't negate the fact that none of you are addressing the issues. That's at hand that the American people got lied to time in and time again. The borders were open. We had a border invasion We've never seen before.

Our country has never been at its place where we don't know who's in our country. We need some strong leaders. We got strange fires happening, drones appearing. Come on. We need somebody that's going to be at the helm of our country, like president Trump and a strong leadership to get to the bottom of the buffoonery that these politicians have Absolutely tried to cover up with their lives and even the fake media that were part of it.

It's all time for God's justice to arise and the truth be known because the people of this country deserves it. And lastly, it was reflected. Don't forget the reason it went red in the executive and the House and the Senate is because the people, it was a sign of the redness of the indignation. They have had enough.

And now it's time to put some good people through and get some things done for the sake of our country That's so true. So true. All right, stay on that five box right there All right, lance. Yeah, you had your gavel bring out your gavel. Let's talk about justice So dutch there's lance was doing that or during while hank was talking but dutch when we see this justice I mean it really does feel I mean, I know we're making light a little bit of it, but it really does You that there's been a massive shift in what's happening in America.

Yeah. And if you go back four years, that's what we, it's what we said when, when Trump was not allowed to take office and, and Biden made it in many of us were saying, what is God's agenda here? What is he doing? And the answer was he's about to start exposing things at a, at a, at an incredible rate. And that's what he did.

He's uncovering, uncovering, uncovering and the American people are seeing this and they are awakened now to just how bad it has been. If you cut open a lot of these people in Washington, D. C., they would bleed swamp water. That's how bad it is. When I listen to them and their character assassinations, all the time knowing they're trying to divide us, they're trying to destroy and erode the character of this nation, the history of this nation it's, it's pathetic.

But the good news is people are seeing it, and there's great change. In fact, the change has become Revival is coming in the spiritual world, transformation is coming in the political world, everything is shaking now, God is at work, and He's behind the scenes orchestrating these things, and the change over the next few years will be some of the greatest, most dramatic this nation has ever seen.

C. Amen. Amen to that. All right, Amanda, I want to get your take on this. Your, your friend, our friend, John Solomon posts this today. Legislation introduced to Grant Washington, D. C. statehood. This comes up every time. What's the real angle here? I'm giving you a softball question here, Amanda. Go ahead.

What's, what's the real reason this keeps coming up? Well, we know what, we know what this is. What the angle is for Democrats legislatively at, you know, the representation in the Electoral College. And this falls right in line with all of their other efforts, like Puerto Rico getting statehood, expanding the Supreme Court.

Look, it's throwing jello at the wall, especially right now. Republicans have a majority as skinny as Kate Moss in the 1990s, but they still have a majority. And I also think that they have the wind in their sails when it comes to The common sense efforts that they are up on Capitol Hill to actually accomplish.

You also had them voting today on transgender men being a part of women's sports and even some Democrats across the aisle. You had we had Congressman Ben Klein on the show today and he introduced some legislation that would combine agencies between the FTC, between their antitrust division, And the antitrust division that is at the DOJ because we have so much redundancy in Washington.

They're trying to, as you said, Jean earlier, trim the fat. So when you have legislation like this where Congress is trying to actually accomplish the things that they've got voted into office for, stuff like this is going to fall flat. But here's what it is. It gets embedded in the emails that get sent out to their donors and it fills the coffers of their campaign.

There it is. All right, so let me ask you, because I'm about to lose you here for the, for the evening. Amanda, what, has anything odd happened since you got this this appointment and you'll be moving across the country here? What is it that you see really happening in this new shift in your job?

Oh, man. You know, when you guys were speaking a moment ago when Dutch was talking about God having his hand and everything, it can only be but for God that I ended up in this job at the White House. It is. It is certainly nothing having to do with anything that I have to offer. So I can only rely on whatever skills and talents the Lord has blessed me with and that I will be put into opportunities where I can share that and that those skills will somehow be compatible.

And commensurate with what I need up there, but I'm going to be obviously covering the Oval Office because of mine and my co host John Solomon's prior relationship with President Trump. I hope that we will be able to have great access to him and his, his policymakers and the people who he has surrounded himself with.

And I will, you know, as I said earlier, I'm still going to be doing the TV show at six going to be doing the podcast, so I'm just going to do as much as I possibly can because, you know, nothing is promised. I don't know how long I'm going to be up there in Washington, but I know that I'm going to, as we say in Alabama, I'm going to make hay while the sun is shining.

There you go. That's good. All right, Dutch, I think we need to Flashpoint Army is going to join with you and let's pray for Amanda. She takes on this new role.

Well, Lord, your, your word tells us that our times are in your hand and we believe that. We know that's true. We thank you for Amanda and people like her that you are moving into situations. You are doing so much. Be behind the scenes to prepare us for what is coming. Lord, our prayer for her is that she would be anointed with a spirit of wisdom.

Moses laid hands on Joshua and he received a spirit of wisdom. It was more than what he had learned. It was more than just his intellect. There was an impartation from you. Solomon walked in this. Others have walked in it, Lord. It's we're supposed to have the spirit of wisdom and revelation. We pray that over Amanda.

Lord, let it, let it be a literal anointing, an impartation. Take her to levels. her, give her insights that she didn't know had, has not learned information, let it flow out of her in just the right way at the right time, protect her from the attacks, protect her from any assignment of the enemy. Let angels surround her always in that place.

And in every assignment you give her, we bless her with your favor. Your face to shine upon her, your health, your protection in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. All right, Amanda, you got a whole army of people right here on Flashpoint that are praying for you. And we look forward to seeing and hearing more from you soon.

Thank you so much. Yes, I do have to go because my mascara is going to be on my chin if I stay around much longer. Thank you so much. Thank you for your prayers. You bet. All right. We're going to take a break. We come back much more to talk about in California. Yeah, the story keeps going. Don't go away.

We'll be right back.

And welcome back to the second half. So much more to come. All right. On that spot, you saw the next level of flashpoint. We're going to talk to you later. Exactly what does that mean? But first let's get into what's happening with the California fires and let's go to Jesse waters. Every man for himself.

Neighborhoods wiped off the map. Homes reduced to piles of ash. Every day it gets more grim and the death toll keeps rising. 24 are now confirmed dead and many more still missing. Forecasters estimate the damage to be more than 250 billion dollars. This would be costlier than Katrina and the palisades fires are still only just 13 percent contained.

Wind gusts are predicted to kick up and firefighters are bracing for explosive fire growth. This isn't over yet. And the looting isn't stopping. At least 29 fire looters have been arrested, including these four fiends caught in Santa Monica. One thief breaking into homes in Pacific Palisades was dressed as a fireman when he was apprehended.

Nothing is sacred. Jewels, precious heirlooms. Even someone's Emmy was stolen. And remember the guy with the blowtorch last week who was lighting fire to Christmas trees and garbage cans? Turns out he was an illegal alien. His name's Juan. Bandits and arsonists are preying upon this devastated community while it's still smoldering.

And residents are gripped by fear and rumors. Here's actress Whitney Cummings. This is a real text that I just received from a friend of mine about the fires. Some of the neighbors caught a guy setting more fires on the back of our hill. They chased him away. They called 911. I think they caught the guy recently in Woodland Hills trying to Put gasoline in sewers.

It's happening all over. Police haven't confirmed this, but there's a sense of Every man for himself in Southern California. Every man for himself, Lance. I mean, this is, you know, this is like getting to the super bowl and finding out the team that you thought you had never went to practice. What we're seeing here is the whole management from the mayor on of LA to the prep has been a total disaster.

A total disaster. So, and at the risk of being soundly criticized, Gene, because of our Christian worldview, I think you could almost say that this state, That made it its business to be the sanctuary state. Now imagine what Hank is saying. And what Frank said was true, that God is doing something in America.

Then when you make your state the home base for a resistance against what God is doing, you open yourself up to the consequences, not of God doing something, but of the devil being free to do something. Because if you want the devil, then this is what you get. So if you give yourself over to a principality, And you want to have minors taken from their parents when they say that I want to be a transgender, I want to have surgery on my body.

And the state can take your child away from a loving mother and father. If that's what the government does, if the government wants to not have lawful voting but no ID, If it wants to open its borders to anybody, if it wants to be the transgender surgery outpost for America, well, guess what? Adam Carolla said something, I wouldn't say this because boy, would I be criticized if I say it, but thank God Adam Carolla is a courageous comedian.

He said he knows every one of those counties that is now being engulfed in flames. They all are super blue voting Democrat woke politically. Now they're discovering what they voted into office. Yeah, you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. And that's what's staggering. It's like the veil has been lifted and we're seeing really what's going on.

All right. So listen, I want to tell you, okay, Flashpoint Army, if you're not sharing this, some of the stuff we're about to share, you need to go share this on all your social media right now hit the share button and let's get this out because I bet you didn't hear about this one. Look at this. In the news conference, the Los Angeles Fire Department Chief stated they had 100 rigs out of service.

The entire L. A. Fire Department fleet's only 185 trucks, so over half their fleet was down at the time of the fire. If they're running without mechanics, those numbers will get worse as the lack of maintenance breaks even more rigs. This is Staggering pastor Hank look at this these rig. These are trucks that are out of service and have been It's not like they didn't know where they were But pastor Jean this is like the movie Groundhog Day a repetitive cycle Has anyone explained Hawaii and the fires to us?

Has anyone explained North Carolina and, and, and the strange things that took place there? Is anyone able to explain the strange fires that just so happened to happen right after New Orleans? Bourbon Street. What was that about? Let's not forget Las Vegas. What was that about? Why are we not getting answers as the American people?

And where are those elected officials that are coming to the aid to answer these questions? The American people deserve the truth. The other thing we want to say is, look, while they were so busy opening the border. To Lance's point, allowing for these democratic woke liberal ideologies. Okay. And their state, California, their water reservoirs were drained, no water in a fire hydrant.

Come on. I mean, how stupid can you get 180, some fire trucks out of commission. And you are going to try to tell us that these fires are just an accident. No, it's all purposeful. And to Lance's point, which was God's point that he's quoted, God has had enough and he's going to get to the bottom of this and we're going to see it reflected in a strong leadership in president Trump, but a strong cabinet that's going to support it.

And we are going to start seeing justice at a whole nother level. And you know what? I'm going to tell you a Psalm 106. I'll give you a scripture. Psalm 103 verse six in times of oppression. God comes and brings righteousness and justice for those that are oppressed. You better buckle your seatbelt. It's going to get really interesting and the truly guilty will not be cleared.

No, they'll not be cleared. And to take it back to sports again, when the team doesn't play well, they fire the coach and they start over with another coach. Look at what Mr. Wonderful O'Leary has to say. Now, this is his words. Whack him. Give me 30 seconds. And Bass I think every taxpayer in America, including those in California, would like to tie this aid to removing Newsom and Bass.

Now, gone. Part of the deal would be, and I know Trump likes new ideas, here's one. Not a dime until those two are whacked from their jobs. Immediately. They are so incompetent, and all of the decisions they've made led to this, and they're still making mistakes. They're horrific managers. Whack them. Well, I mean, Don't get mad at me.

That's what he said. Although I agree with it. Go ahead, Lance. So today they voted for the package. Newsom had approved their Now, their legislators are really crazy. They're way off to the left of America. But the package was disaster relief in the state if it included a 50 million allocation to fight Donald Trump.

Now he's gonna go to Donald Trump and ask him for relief. So Donald Trump today, in characteristic, characteristic El Presidente fashion, refers to Newsom as new scum, and says he needs to get out of office now. In other words, you're coming to me for support, and you're raising 50 million dollars to fight me?

Those days are done. Yeah, and we're gonna, I'm gonna dive in a little bit more into that in just a moment. But I want to show you this. Thanks. Because when I first saw L. A. Mayor Karen Bass stop and refuse to comment when the fires broke out. Refuse to comment to an Australian journalist or a Sky News journalist.

Yeah, I've started looking back. I started seeing, who is this Karen Bass? I'd never heard of her before. Ladies and gentlemen, her background is shocking. Watch. In the months that come forward. Did you want to share about the mayor? You know, listen, a lot of people have been talking about, you know, who's to blame, you know, whether it's Gavin Newsom or the mayor.

A lot of people don't realize that Karen Bass is actually at, you know, we talk about these left wing, left wing policies. She has ties to communism. She was cutting sugarcane in Cuba. She's had 15 trips to Cuba, met with Fidel Castro. She is a, a solid communist, so don't be surprised if that your policies make your, your, your city look like this when you, when you put a communist, somebody, a communist and a communist sympathizer at the top of your of the heap as the mayor of Los Angeles.

It's not surprising. They manage things, things, things, Look at how Cuba's managed and now look at this. Now Dutch, you heard she's been making trips to Cuba and talking with Castro. This shouldn't be any shock to see what's happened in LA. No, I heard that report. It's exposure, exposure, exposure.

There's nothing shocking about it. A level of incompetency, an incompetency. The level of corruption that God is exposing is horrifying. But I want to throw just, just a quick word of encouragement into this. It's a part, it's also a part of God bringing a nation of people, a region to their senses. So they begin to call upon him.

It's like the prodigal. You know, and so a lot of people don't know the meaning of prodigal is it means squander. It was the squandering son. And you know, here's California, one of the richest states in the nation, if not the richest as far as resources. And yet they've squandered it. And they're in billions of dollars in debt and it's all burning.

And it's a consequence of their decisions. It's not God being mean and sending judgments. They're reaping their decisions, but in his mercy, he's coming to say he's going to he's going to send revival. I believe when this cleansing reaches the right point one of the greatest revivals with that that California has ever seen will come to that state because God loves people and he wants to save them So he's going to clean it up.

He's going to show them just how bad. It is behind the scenes on how corrupt these leaders are, and then he is gonna come in with grace and mercy and turn things around. Amen. And you know, it, revival never happens where you think it's going to happen. You know, it usually is. You know, and I know I quote this all the time about what happened in Wales.

I mean, this is worse than Wales, but this is what, you know, the, the Welsh revival broke out in the middle of all of that. Mm-hmm . Corruption, pastor Hank. Are you, do you see that? You agree with Dutch? You think we're right there seeing revival come? Yes, and the reason is, and Pastor Gene, what I never like to do is in the middle of someone's, you know, sorrow and, and, and things like that tragedy is come out with a prophetic word.

This isn't to validate, you know, that I would never do that. My staff brought to my attention several prophetic words that we will share next Wednesday on what we call a prophetic pulse, and there were indications of these fires, and one was in December of last year, 2024, where the Spirit of God said about strange fires would appear and that they would have man's involvement as well as the enemy's rage, and in the midst of the fire, God would counter it with his fire that would bring about a redemptive plan that would show this country as they see it on fire, that it would show that we are now in the time of the fires of revival.

And we know that because Isaiah 61, I quoted it last night, talks about the spirit of the Lord coming and he deals with the broken hearted. He comforts those that mourn and then he gives a promise in verse four, he says, look where there's been fires. where there's ashes, I'm going to do something beautiful.

And then he goes on in verse four and says, listen, I'm going to also rebuild the waste places. So yes, to your point, it's signaling something greater. God is dealing with the truly guilty and there is coming that justice, but on the other side, there's a beautiful work of redemption and, and, and, and in that is going to come a rebuilding of America.

Like we've never seen before. Let me show you Amen. Amen to all of that. I mean, bring it on. Dear Lord, we need to see it. All of America. Governor Newsom, let me show you. What he said on Meet the Press. Watch. Over the course of the next several years, Los Angeles will be host to the World Cup, and then the Super Bowl, and then the Olympics.

With this rebuilding effort needing to take place, is L. A. going to be ready for all of those global events? My humble position, and it's not just being naively optimistic, that only reinforces The imperative moving quickly, doing in the spirit of collaboration, cooperation. President of the United States, Donald Trump, to his credit, was helpful in getting the Olympics to the United States of America to get it down here in L.

A. We thank him for that. This is an opportunity for him to shine, for this country to shine, for California and this community to shine. The opportunity with all of that and all that opportunity and that pride and spirit that comes from not just hosting those three iconic games and venues but also the opportunity, I think, to rebuild at the same time.

And that's why we're already organizing a Marshall Plan. We already have a team looking and reimagining LA 2. 0. And we're making sure everyone's included, not just the folks on the coast people here that were ravaged by this disaster. You just said you're organizing a Marshall Plan for the rebuilding of California.

What is that Marshall Plan? Tell us about this Marshall Plan. We're just starting to lay out. I mean, we're still planning. Fighting these fires. So we're already talking to city leaders. We're already talking to civic leaders. We're already talking to business leaders and nonprofits. So Lance, I want to ask you what you think about that.

Well, first of all, that's a master class in in communication and that he could dodge the, the, the reality is he's not dealing with the Marshall plan, which was the rebuilding of Europe. He's dealing with the Manhattan Project, which is how to clean up an atomic bomb. The reality is, I want you to think about this.

It was the Patriots, Gene, that I talked to, you know, pastor, a couple of pastors in California about this, and they said that when they did the recall, on Gavin Newsom. They knew they couldn't take the state. They knew they weren't going to win. They knew California is, is blue and, and, and, but they're there.

And so Jack Hibbs and these guys, you know, if they, you know, if they really did, they said, we're going to do the recall because we're going to keep him from running against Trump. And we're going to ruin his chances of being a premature president because the danger with guys like that is they're telegenic.

And if they don't have the backdrop, of a fire or a state that is in a great depression, then they project themselves like a smooth talking salesman and the American public can look at him like his appearance, he looks so presidential, he looks so handsome, oh his hair, and believe it or not, that has an impact out there in the average voter's mind.

They took him out. It was the patriots that took him out with the recall. And now the fire took him out. He has no more future in electoral politics than Trudeau. It's so I agree. In fact, wait, if you didn't know this, I wanted so bad to get to this last night. We just ran out of time. But listen, you know, I said from the very beginning, be careful where you give your money, where you donate to for these fires because you'd never know unless you do your research, you might be given something you didn't mean to give to.

Here we are. Gavin Newsom, a lot of misinformation up there. Just launched a new site to ensure the public has access to fact based data around the Southern California wildfires. The California did not cut our firefighting budget. We have nearly doubled the size of our firefighting army and built the world's largest aerial firefighting fleet.

California has increased forest management tenfold since we took office. California will not allow for looting. However, when you decide to donate, look at this one. campaign for democracy. Ladies and gentlemen, this goes to act blue. And you say, if you didn't know what act blue was, we'll look at this next graphic here.

This is on the website. When you donate to the group through act blue, the money goes directly to that group. You'd think that, okay, well, it goes directly to the group, but now, however, at the very bottom, we pass along almost 4 percent processing fee on contributions to the groups using our platform. So guess where that 4 percent goes?

It goes back into politics. So when you see this Dutch, you're giving to help fire victims and you're actually giving to the campaign. It's. It's disgusting, Gene. I mean, what these people do is disgusting. I have a verse that applies to this. It's, it's, it's a promise. Isaiah 126, the voice translation. I will bring back legislators who have integrity.

People like your founding fathers. principled decision makers, then your city will be called honorable and just a model of ethics, trustworthy and strong. That will, that's what's coming. This guy's days, his days are over. God's cleaning it up. The people are waking up. Lance is right. His days are over. God has some righteous leaders and people of integrity that he's raising up.

Just as we used to have in this nation. So true. You know, pastor Hank, I want to get you. We'll start to wrap this up here because we need to pray about this. I don't want to be just bringing you all the bad news, but you got to know this is out there. You must know this is what's really out there.

Pastor Hank, your thoughts? Well, God is exposing these hand shakings and these under table deals don't forget if you ever remembered Gene that Spending you know that bill that they had. Okay. Remember how thick it was for Ukraine, right? Oh, we're gonna help the Ukraine and when you really broke it down.

What was in? In that thing, some of the stuff that it was tied to was so wrong, so perverse and not even really the issue. Same way with these fires and what you just showed. And this is why God is getting to the bottom of all this. But I want to ask a question. And again, I don't know how this works, but if he really, really was, you know, the leader that he says, Newsome, where is the National Guard?

Where is there looking at outside agencies to come in and accelerate the process of putting out these fires? What why aren't we seeing some of that and who's responsible for making those kind of decisions? And lastly did I hear correctly that? But when they interviewed him, did he say that it's a great possibility for President Trump?

You know, now all of a sudden he's giving credit to the guy that he tried to destroy. So here's what America needs to do. Continue to pray for God's righteousness and justice. Continue to ask for the spirit of truth to expose every lie. We're in the time now. It's God's turn and he's showing up in a big way to deliver our country.

But there's a few giants that still need to be taken out. That's true. You know, Lance it's not just Governor Newsom on that website. Several California legislators that are obviously on the D side are using Act of Blue to funnel money through. And let's talk about it. It's not just the 3. 95 percent cut.

What they really want is they want that person's name, their address, their demographic information, because now, guess what? We're a year and a half away from the next midterm election. You know, now we're going to start seeing, you'll start getting stuff in the mail because you gave to this. So now you're on the mailing list.

This is deceptive. And, and At the very least, it's deceptive. Your thoughts, Lance, as we start to wrap. It is deceptive. You know, when I studied years ago about how Soros and these brilliant guys put together ActBlue as part of the infrastructure along with Media Matters. I mean, they created a, a organized machine that is the, that created the woke monstrosity Trump had to go in and fight.

And so, they're sophisticated. The children of this world are very, it's weird, they're shrewd at gaining power and incompetent at administrating when they get it. So there's the price you pay. But James Woods, I want to say this to Flashpoint. This man, he was on the internet, he's on, like, Twitter, I follow him on X, and his house was about to get burned down.

He said, just pray. He's a Jewish guy. He's a conservative, MAGA guy. And people prayed, and you know what? His house was miraculously spared out of all the houses burning. And so there are people that are suffering out there. You know the righteous are paying a price with the, with those that aren't. And we, we pray in Jesus name mercy on California.

We pray that an awakening would come to California and that God in his kindness will put these fires out and we pray for the solution to come with a change in leadership in Jesus name. I just had to say that. You know, that's good. And I agree with that prayer. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Listen, we, this is the sort of thing that we're going to have to be prepared, not just to fight, but to guide the people through so there's people right now that I know that don't necessarily aren't in our tribe as they like to call us are in the flashpoint army, but they're going, wait a minute.

I thought these were good guys. And here I'm finding out they're not doing what I thought they were doing. Okay. It's deceptive practice. That's where you and I come in and the only way we are going to be able to come in is the part of the Ecclesia, not as a denominational church, not as some particular organization but as God's chosen remnant, we are going to have to be able to walk them through this.

So Connect your faith with ours. Connect your faith with each other. Because when we do this together in unity, we're going to see things change. And part of that unity comes by the events that we have. It's my segue here to what's coming up in Omaha January 30th Next Level. Now you know why it's coming up.

It's the next level right there at Lord of Hosts Church in Omaha, Pastor Hank and Brenda Kuhneman's church 7 p. m. both nights. It's going to be it's going to be an interesting event. Pastor Hank Kuhneman, Tony Suarez, Lance Wallnau, Rick Green, myself. And, and listen, you, you need to be there. We are going to celebrate.

This will be just a few days after the inauguration. We'll celebrate what God's done, but as you can already see. We need to come together and get empowered to go to the next level because we've got a lot of ground to cover here in America. We thought it was just some of the culture things. No, we, it's like the next wave of Corruption is being exposed.

The next wave of of what we need to do in politics. All of that is being exposed and you and I need to come together. And so Lance, I want to give you the opportunity to talk about coming to Omaha. You'll be there. What's different, you think? Oh, totally, man. And just today I got a download in the studio that the Lord, you know, you know, where Elisha talks about take those arrows and, and, and bang them, you know, and so shoot the arrow through the window and then take the arrows and bang them.

And he was mad because the king only did it three times. Right. And I realized today, I thought that was our effort in the election process. Like my philosophy was, let's leave it all on the field. And we did, man. I put like a million dollars into getting the evangelical community awakened for the election.

But the Lord spoke to me today. He said, no, the window is now, now God has given us a window for revival and reformation in America. Now's the moment when we have a window to reform education, to see the woke get driven out of social media. Like with Zuckerberg today, we have in every mountain, an opportunity now with the window open to shoot those arrows through and to actually see.

Five, six, seven times more impact. The enemy's backing up. Now's the time to advance. That's what that meeting is all about. That's right. Pastor Hank, your thoughts. Well, you know, we're right in the middle of the Omaha is in the heart. They call it the heart of the nation as it goes with the heart. It goes with the body as it goes with the heart.

Omaha, it goes with the rest of the nation. We have STRATCOM, which is the strategic air command of the nuclear forces of the whole military here. And so we need to reflect that in the spirit to Lance's point. And we need to take out in the spirit, some of the assignments that have been over this country.

Lastly, God prophesied in 2018, that would be a plague. He prophesied in 2019 that the decade would start off harsh, but then we would come into rest. We're at the mid. point now, and it was in the middle of the Red Sea is when God took out the enemy and began to deliver a nation. We're coming into rest, the rest of God's justice.

But how about this? Deuteronomy 1210, God is going to give us rest from our enemies and we're going to live in a different place. We're going to dwell in safety. We're going to dwell in peace. But right now we've got some moving forth and some fighting to do in the spirit to see it reflected in the natural.

Yeah. Amen. Dutch. I know you can't, we weren't able to work it out with your schedule for Omaha, but I know we'll get you at one of the, one of the next meetings, but you, you know, we, we went through a year with the Esther movement, the million women that, On the, on the, on the mall. But it seems like there's, you know, we entered right into this new year and we're already fasting.

So many people are on fasts and seeing God do what he needs to do in America. But it seems like even that has had to go to another level. Well, it is. It, it does, you're right. And, and that's happening. But the good news is. What God has, has been preparing for is also going to another level. Our prayers and our fasting, these things are being answered.

You know, I just, I've shared recently, I've heard 4 different revivals mentioned in prophetic words in the last week or 2 that God, God has shown people in dreams and other words. I'm bringing all of these anointings together at, in 2025 to begin the greatest outpouring of the spirit ever. The Azusa street revival was one of them.

The Welsh revival that you mentioned was one of them. The great Hebrides revival was one of them. The voice of healing of the forties, fifties, sixties signs, wonders, and miracles. And God said, I'm merging all of these anointings together for this great outpouring. It's coming, Jane. I tell people just keep pressing in, just keep doing it.

Keep doing it. Keep doing it. Keep gathering them. It's coming. This is coming. And I believe the big launch is 2025. Amen. I like that big launch in 2025. All right. So we want to see you there. Fpnextlevel. com. You can go there to register for this free event. It's two evenings, so it's a very easy. It's not like you got to get up early, early the next day.

We we're doing, it's a little different for our first event of the year, but we wanted to have some time to be able to come together. Yes, we're going to celebrate, but we're also going to see what God's got for you. And on the second night is a night of ministry where we're going to see and minister in a way that you haven't seen Us minister in quite a long time.

There's been moments There was the second night in ohio under the big tent where god moved in a big way Listen, I believe you're going to see flashpoint operate at another level This year as we move into what god's called us to do along with you the flashpoint army. So thanks Lance Of course, Dutch, Amanda Head, and Pastor Hank, thank you guys for being here.

And thank you for watching right here every week on Flashpoint. Now, Thursday, Mark Meckler will be here, Rob McCoy, and who knows who might show up. Don't go away. We'll see you Thursday.
