Key Discussion Points

1. The Spiritual War in Modern Society

• Introductory Remarks (00:05 – 02:35):
  • Panel is introduced as taking on an urgent cultural and spiritual fight against evil, with an explicit Christian and conservative outlook.
  • Veronica Birkenstock sets the tone:

    “We’re here to cancel Satan today. What do you think about that?” (02:35, Birkenstock)

2. The Euthanasia Case in Spain: A Societal Tragedy

• Jack Posobiec recounts a horrifying viral incident from Spain (03:40 – 06:24):

  • Allegations of a government-sponsored euthanasia of a young woman, Noelia Ramos, following traumatic abuse, are described as emblematic of societal moral failure.

  • Jack’s passionate summary:

    "It was a government murder... They took her organs even before she was dead... I'm very sorry to say that that was carried out earlier today. It's atrocious. It is not compassion, it is unhuman and it is satanic." (05:18, Posobiec)

  • He links the loss of cultural and religious values to what he describes as a 'culture of death' inherent in socialist and left-wing policies.

    "When you do not embrace a culture of life, then by default you become a culture of death. And that just goes to show you that that is the end point of all far leftist socialist politics. It always ends with the deaths of the innocent." (06:14, Posobiec)

3. The Role of the Church and Public Witness

• Pastor Mark Burns’s Call to Action (07:03 – 09:51):
  • Urges Christian leaders to be bold, stop “bowing down to culture,” and openly proclaim Christ’s rule in America.
  • Asserts spiritual warfare is at the heart of societal issues, not merely political disagreements.

    "The problem in America is that we have too many weak preachers of the gospel... We have to disciple America." (07:08, Burns)
    "Our enemy is not Joe Biden, it is Satan from the gates of hell." (08:38, Burns)

  • Connects "canceling Satan" to opposing abortion and gender ideology in public institutions.

4. The Power and Danger of Media

• Bill Abbott on Media’s Cultural Power (10:24 – 11:50):
  • Explains his mission at Great American Media—countering destructive narratives with “relentlessly positive” entertainment rooted in faith, family, and country.

    "Media is the center of so much and it influences people whether we like it or not." (10:24, Abbott)
    "We are here to bring positive light into the world... by supporting faith, family and country." (11:44, Abbott)

  • Shares how his network reinstates public traditions (like playing the national anthem and Pledge of Allegiance) to strengthen cultural fabric.

5. Restoring God to the Public Square

• Posobiec Calls for Multi-Pronged, Cultural Pushback (12:07 – 13:50):

  • Argues that the left’s first move was to “drive God from the public square”; the remedy is restoration, not just resistance.
  • Describes a “replacement of God” in American culture, with secular or progressive symbols supplanting religious ones.

    "We must restore God to the public square. We must restore the Bible. We must restore the Ten Commandments, and we must restore the public proclamation that Christ is king." (13:36, Posobiec)

• Pastor Burns echoes and intensifies this:

  "Jack just said 'Jesus is king.' That should be the moment that this place erupted, better than Donald Trump walking on the stage. Jesus is king." (13:58, Burns)

6. Urgency, Boldness, and Revival

• Pastor Burns Rallies Listeners (13:51 – 17:52):
  • Demands that Christians be loud, unashamed, and active against what he casts as spiritual encroachments (e.g., LGBTQ books in schools).

    "The moment they try to put gay books inside your public school, you should open up your mouth and say, 'the devil is a liar.'" (16:44, Burns)

  • Warns of losing America if believers are passive; frames the spiritual fight as immediate and existential.

    "We are about to lose a nation. Do you hear me, church?" (15:06, Burns; later repeated with urgency)

7. Final Appeal & Collective Prayer

• Concluding Segment and Prayer (18:01 – 20:02):
  • Veronica invites the audience to stand, pray for discernment and revival, and calls for ongoing vigilance.
  • Jack Posobiec adds:

    "Prayer causes pain to demons. And when those of the faithful pray together, it causes harm to demons." (18:20, Posobiec)

  • Pastor Mark Burns leads a fervent prayer for national revival, restoration, and divine leadership for America—specifically naming Donald Trump in his plea.

    "Bring revival like never before...We commit this prayer to you...And we pray for the greatest president in our lifetime, President Donald J. Trump, that he may continue to lead this nation back to you." (18:52 & 19:38, Burns)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Societal Decline and Cultural Death:

  "When you do not embrace a culture of life, then by default you become a culture of death. And that just goes to show you that that is the end point of all far leftist socialist politics." (06:14, Jack Posobiec)

• On the Church’s Responsibility:

  "It is time for the church to stop bowing down to culture and start bowing down to… The only way we can defeat Satan is with the power and the love of Jesus Christ." (07:06 & 08:13, Pastor Mark Burns)

Conclusion

This episode—thematically urgent and revivalist in tone—positions America’s political and cultural crisis as, fundamentally, a spiritual struggle. Panelists urge reclaiming the public square for Christian faith, rooting cultural institutions once again in traditional values, and standing firm against what they see as satanic influences in society and governance. The call is both alarmist and motivational: act boldly, engage openly, and pray continually in the face of what they believe is an existential battle for the nation's soul.

Transcript

[Jack Posobec]

This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

A commentator, international social media sensation and

[Veronica Birkenstock]

former Navy intelligence veteran. This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobec.

[Jack Posobec]

Christ is king. Folks, let me be blunt. Before the crashes of 1999 and 2008, a rare market signal appeared. Most people ignored it. Smart money didn't. Gold and stocks were rising at the same time. That is not normal. Stocks are supposed to rise when confidence is strong. Gold rises when confidence starts to break. They move in opposite directions until something underneath says the system is off. Right now, they're both breaking records again. This has only happened twice before. Major market repricing events. Does that mean it crashes tomorrow? No, but it does mean that the risk may be dangerously mispriced. Gold doesn't surge because it's popular. It moves when currency confidence weakens, debt explodes and central banks prepare quietly behind the scenes. Here's what should get your attention. Banks are buying gold at record levels right now. They're not guessing. Gold doesn't depend on earnings. It doesn't depend on credit markets. It doesn't depend on political promises. Stocks, Stocks do. If you have savings or a retirement account, you don't get a do over. This is about protection, not speculation.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is canceling Satan. Please welcome host of Human Events Daily,

[Jack Posobec]

Jack Posobic, president of Great American Media, Bill Abbott, founder of the NOW television

[Pastor Mark Burns]

network, Pastor Mark Burns, hosted by CPAC

[Jack Posobec]

board member Veronica Birkenstock. We'll figure it out.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Good afternoon. Have you enjoyed CPAC so far? Wonderful. Well, I've got some great news. We're here to cancel Satan today. What do you think about that?

[Jack Posobec]

It's about time. Yeah.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Don't you think so? Obviously, Satan has invaded every part of our lives. And he's done that from day one. And what we've seen is that just about every area of our lives, our families, our finances, especially our children, our schools, there is. Satan is prevalent. And the key is obviously being able to discern that and being able to tell the difference between truth, real truth, God's truth, and then being able to ward away the evil. We have an excellent panel here today who are going to share some of their viewpoints and how they discern. And we're going to start with Jack today. Jack, would you like to we spoke earlier about something that happened in Spain which just happened today and really show you how Satan has really destroyed a life today.

[Jack Posobec]

Well, it's true and it's very unfortunate and I'm sure I know you guys here locally at CPAC have been paying attention to the speakers and all. But story that's broken and is very, very active online, viral online right now. Is that over in Spain. And I would call them Socialist Spain and Pedro Sanchez's Spain right now that there has been a case of euthanasia, government backed suicide that was administered to a young girl, 25 years old. Her name is Noelia Ramos or her name was Noelia Ramos. Because just a few hours ago this government backed and I'm going to call it what it is, it was a government murder. It was a government murder that took her life. Listen to what happened here. A couple years ago she went to the hospital because she had depression. They put her in a state run home to be able to be watched for. We so we thought she was raped by multiple North African migrants while she was in government care. Following this, she did not receive the help that she needed. She attempted to commit suicide by jumping off a fifth story window ledge. Tried to kill herself. She didn't die. She became. God saved her life even then. But she did become a paraplegic. Well, hold on folks. Unfortunately the story does not get better because then the government came to her and said instead of helping her out of this terrible pit of despair through healing, they said that we want to offer you government backed suicide. Her family fought it. Her mother said to turn it off, said to stop it. They said no. You know why they said no? Because her organs had already been promised to another patient. They took her organs even before she was dead. Even before, While she was still alive. While she was still alive and her father tried to file a lawsuit with the government. And they still said no. They still said no. I'm very sorry to say that that was carried out earlier today. It's atrocious. It is not compassion, it is unhuman and it is satanic. And when you do not embrace a culture of life, then by default you become a culture of death. And that just goes to show you that that is the end point of all far leftist socialist politics. It always ends with the deaths of the innocent.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Just a tragedy. Absolutely, totally preventable as well. Satan enters at every opportunity. We have to be on guard. You have to be able to to recognize it at every step. And as a parent, I see it every day with my kids. And it's hard being a parent, especially when you so many hours of the day, they're actually with someone else. They're not with you. So it's important that also, you know, in our churches. Pastor Burns, why don't you tell us a little bit about what your mission is? Everybody knows Pastor Burns, don't you? Everybody's met him before. Let's give him a hand.

[Jack Posobec]

Thank you.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

He's on fire for God.

[Jack Posobec]

Yes.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

Well, you know, we're here to talk about counseling Satan. And I'm so happy for Matt and Mercedes for. And CPAC for hosting this very special message. How do we counsel Satan in America? Number one, it is time for the church to stop bowing down to culture and start bowing down to. The problem in America is that we have too many weak preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ that won't open up their mouths and start speaking the truth and truth to power. We have to disciple America. There's a reason why Donald Trump is rededicating America back to the living God coming up soon. Because this nation was founded on Christian principles. It was founded with the ideal that Jesus is lord of America. Do you believe that? Say yes to that.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Amen.

[Jack Posobec]

Yes.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

And we are becoming too passive. Even right now. We're so slow to clap our hands the moment we talk about defeating Satan. Only way we can defeat Satan is with the power and the love of Jesus Christ. We fight not against flesh and blood. I can't hear nobody. I can't hear nobody. We fight not against flesh and blood, but against every principality, wickedness of high places. Our enemy is not Joe Biden is Satan from the gates of hell.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Amen.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

I can't hear nobody, man. That is why we have a nation that is allowing children to change their sex. That's why we have a nation that makes it easy to kill babies. Y' all not. Y' all not talking back to me, but I'm telling you the truth. And until we stop bowing down to culture, until America turns back to Jesus, until America remember why we became the nation that we are. It is because we decided with our founders that we, the United States of America, we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Y' all ready to go to church?

[Jack Posobec]

Good luck following that.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Thank you, Pastor, for bringing us to church. Bill is. Is in the. In the Media business. His company is the Great American Media. Bill, why don't you tell, tell us your story and you know, and how your career has evolved and what you're doing now to change the culture, especially in our movie industry, which we all know media has a huge impact on what we think, what we feel and what we do.

[Bill Abbott]

Media is the center of so much and it influences people whether we like it or not. And first of all, I have to follow, you know, these two. That's a little unfair here.

[Jack Posobec]

Media.

[Bill Abbott]

What you said about the Pledge of Allegiance, when's the last time you heard the Pledge of Allegiance cited or said out loud? It's like in the culture today, you're almost not allowed to say it, which is so frustrating and so challenging. And that's what we're doing at Great American Media. We are bringing back the national, national anthem. We're playing it every day at the start of our broadcast day

[Jack Posobec]

Pledge of

[Bill Abbott]

Allegiance as well, because it is the fabric of our country. And what we are doing across all of our content is being relentlessly positive. Uplifting and Faith, Family, country are three pillars that we focus on relentlessly. And all of our stories uplift faith. They put family in a positive light and they put the country in a positive light to the military especially. And you look around the entertainment landscape, I'm waiting for the next movie to be made off of, off of Jack's story here. You won't read it though. You won't see it in the news tonight though, I'm sure. So we are here to bring positive light into the world that way through our entertainment by supporting faith, family and country.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

Great.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Thank you. Thank you, Jack. We know with your podcast, you, you reach millions on a daily basis. Tell us what you can do or what you are doing to defeat Satan.

[Jack Posobec]

Wow. What am I, I working to do? Well, I mean, it's very simple. And it goes back to what what Pastor Mark Burns is saying here is, is this needs to be a multi pronged, multi effort, multi vertical force for good. And it's very simple as this. When, when the communists began their counter revolution in this country, what was the very first thing they did? The very first thing they did was they drove God from the public square. And we are coming up now on Holy Week. Holy Week is next week. Palm Sunday is this Sunday. Holy Week follows. If you go Back to the 1950s in New York City, what would you see on Good Friday across the New York City skyline? You would see the three crosses of Calvary would be across the New York City skyline. And what do we see when we look across the New York City skyline? Right now, the Empire State Building on Transgender Awareness Day will have the colors of the trans flag up on top. So you see what they did, folks? You see? You see what they did? Oh, I know, I know. But look what they did. They removed our God and they replaced him with theirs. That's what they've done, and that's what they've done to our country. And so when I look at this, I say it's not just about getting all of this out of the schools. It's not enough to get all of this out of the public square. No, it is not enough simply to remove this. We must restore God to the public square. We must restore the Bible. We must restore the Ten Commandments, and we must restore the public proclamation that Christ is king.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Yes.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Jack Posobec]

You know, and that's what we try to do.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

And I just want to piggyback on that, because how did that happen? It happened because we the people of the United States of America, we the believers who believe that Jesus died on the cross and he rose again with omnipotent power in his hand. Do I still got believers here at CPAC that believe Jesus died and he rose again with. Is anybody looking for Jesus to come back here? I can't hear nobody. I can't hear nobody. Yes. Jack just said Jesus is king. That should be the moment that this place erupted. Better than Donald Trump walking on the stage. Jesus is king. And it is that level. Jack said it. How did that happen? It happened because we are too busy being the solid majority. Do you think that those of other faiths, if you trouble on their faith, you think they're going to be solid? No. We become too confident, comfortable here in America. Loud churches don't change policies.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Amen.

[Jack Posobec]

Amen.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

We got. We. We. We're not. We're here to inspire you, but for you to take this fire, not to entertain you. We are about to lose a nation. Do you hear me, church? We about to lose a nation. We the people, the former perfect union. We the people. We are God's children. And we believe it so much that we put it on our currency. But yet we're sitting back and we letting other faiths move in and we let other people who denounce the Christ is king to move in and you sit back and let it happen. We are here to counsel Satan in every form. So you hear what I'm telling you now. I know that you may not go to a black church, but you'll be going to a black Baptist church by the time we're done here in this city. I can't hear nobody. I wish you would open up your mouth and just declare, Jesus is king.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Yes.

[Jack Posobec]

Yes, he is.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

Give him glory. Give him glory right where you are.

[Jack Posobec]

Glory to Jesus.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

He is king. But we can't let it happen. Because if we stop and if we sell it, and if we don't pick up the cross and follow Messiah, if we don't pick up the sword, must Jesus bear the cross alone? No. He saved us. He wrapped us in his love. By the blood of the Lamb, the only way we counsel Satan is with the blood of Jesus. Are you hearing what I'm telling you?

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Amen.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

But you can't be silent about it. Church. I'm talking to.

[Bill Abbott]

To you.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

You can't be quiet about it. The moment they try to put gay books inside your public school, you should open up your mouth and say, the devil is a liar. I won't let this pornographic show up in my school. Y' all not talking back to me? There is the fire of the Holy Ghost. You've got to be bold about it, America. Because if you don't, they will be bold. And that's why we're losing, Veronica. We're losing territory. Yes, but God brought you here. God brought Jack here. God brought me here. God brought me here to tell you, to inspire you. Call on the name of Jesus, but be bold about it. If God before me. I can't hear nobody. Who can be. Y' all not talking back to me? Who can be against me? All right, go ahead, Veronica. I'm done.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

He's not done. He's just kidding. He's not done. What I would like to do is let's. Let's end this session in prayer and let's pray for our country. Let's pray for discernment.

[Jack Posobec]

Yes.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

And let's pray that God will enlighten us and give us the words and the wisdoms to actually cancel on a daily basis. Probably about every hour, every minute, honestly. Because Satan will be attacking you, and he will probably attack us more after we walk out of this room because of what we've done here on this stage today. But I would. Would you mind if we all just stood and prayed for our nation right now?

[Jack Posobec]

Can I just add one thing? When they tell you not to pray, just remember this prayer causes pain to demons. And when those of the faithful pray together, it causes harm to demons.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

Yes, that's right.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Let's stand. Will you stand with us and let's pray for our country?

[Jack Posobec]

Yes.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Pastor Mark, will you please lead us?

[Pastor Mark Burns]

Let's pray. Grab somebody's hand. Grab somebody hand. We need. How many know we need a revival here in America? How many know we need a revival here in America?

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Yes, Father.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

God, in the name of Jesus, Lord, we first pray for you, the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. You have declared through the framers of this great nation that this is a Christian nation. This nation belongs to you, God. Now, Father, we ask you now to bring revival like never before. Let a fresh fire that moves from this pulpit that will spread to every person under the sound of my voice and to every person that is watching this broadcast that you will be emboldened to do what Jack says and pray to the living God. And when we pray in the name of Jesus, demons tremble. Oh, God. Marriages are restored, healings take place, finances are restored and lives are extended. So, Father, in the name of Jesus, we commit this prayer to you. We commit CPAC to you. And we pray for the greatest president in our lifetime, President Donald J. Trump, that he may continue to lead this nation back to you. We dedicate this to you in the name of the living God. And if we believe this, we shout amen.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Amen.

[Pastor Mark Burns]

Amen. God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Veronica Birkenstock]

Thank you. Thank you, Foreign.
