The following program contains political discourse, opinions and footage that many viewers may find offensive.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
It should not be viewed by anyone ever.
Conservative Commentator
You look around, you got psychos everywhere pushing, poking, daring you to snap. And the question is, how much more did they think we were going to take? They put a bullet in a good man in front of his wife and kids. They butchered a young girl just riding the train. Every day it's another murder, another freak show and these sick bastards clap like it's a game. And behind it all Democrats feeding the sickness, celebrating death and degeneracy, unleashing crime and poisoning everything they touch. They turned evil into a movement and they call it progress. They call us monsters while they mutilate their own kids and kill in cold blood. Well guess what? Enough's enough. The Die is cast. And we're not taking any more of this sick bull. We're awake now. And justice. You better believe it's coming.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country.
Podcast Announcer
Rest now, brother.
Conservative Commentator
We have the watch.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
And I'll see you in Valhalla.
Podcast Announcer
My name is Kyle. I have been a registered Democrat for the last 22 years. I have voted in every election up.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
And down from the state to local level. This message is for the Democrats.
Conservative Commentator
I hate you.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Now we see in polling that minority voters, black and brown Americans, are starting.
Pastor Dallas
To shy away from the Democrat Party.
Podcast Announcer
You lost my vote and you lost many people's vote. And that's your fault.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
As a progressive, proud member of this body for the last 12 years. I'm done with us protecting people who would buy and abuse our children. I'm done. Your children will see us. Your children will love us. And your children will join us.
Podcast Announcer
You see what the Democratic Party has turned into woke manifestation of ridiculousness.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Are you. I used to be a lifelong Democrat for years, but the Democrat Party got so far away from what my values are.
Conservative Commentator
I'm a Democrat too, but it we Trump.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I don't give a fuck who look at me different. I'm voting for Trump. Even my great grandmother, 95 years old, lifelong Democrat, is going to vote for Trump this year.
Pastor Dallas
I was a Democrat, but actually I'm supporting Trump.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I would like to say, Mr. President.
Show Host
I am so sorry for believing the.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Lies that the mainstream media has just projected on me and that I felt when I believed the media played me.
Pastor Dallas
So it seems like a lot of celebrities are kind of like, voting for Trump now.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I mean, why do you think people.
Pastor Dallas
Are kind of like, changing their way of.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Like, I think we're just. We just did our research and we're just, you know, we're not brainwashed anymore by the left.
Conservative Commentator
This nation was built on law, order and pride. Immigrants came through the front door with papers in hand and hearts full of hope. But that America was betrayed by Democrats. They didn't lose control of the border. They opened the floodgates on purpose. 20 million poured in. Cartels, rapists, traffickers, funded by you, enabled by them. This wasn't immigration. It was an invasion by design. And we paid the price. In chaos, in crime, in blood. While traitors in suits handed out benefits with our money. But now comes the reckoning. We're not deporting immigrants. We're deporting lawlessness and those who sold this country out. Law, order, sovereignty. Without them, we don't have a country. So now it's time for retribution, for justice. You don't get to destroy America and stay in it. I said we smoked the Trump boat. There's 11 narco terrorists at the bottom of the ocean. Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
All your feet, you're home with me in my house.
AI Assistant (Grok)
Hi, everyone.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You are watching. Check the news. It's a breaking edition as we cover what's going on in Iran. All the latest coming out of Washington D.C. i've been sending content to the boys, like, nonstop. And so how much content do we have?
Pastor Dallas
We.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
We're not sure, but we're gonna go through it alongside you, okay? If you don't remember, this is the year of what. What year is this, Pastor Dallas? The year of the throwdown.
Pastor Dallas
The dawn. All right.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
The year of the throw down.
Pastor Dallas
Throw down.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
And so, so there' retribution. And there's a lot of retribution that's going to be occurring this year. And so we just wanted to remind you because, of course, you walked it out with us in the. The year 2020 when we launched CTN. And so we wanted to kind of remind you that this, there's a theme of the year, right? And that theme is the year down. And it's the year of the throwdown. And so we just want to highlight to you and get, get you guys back involved in. Check the news because this is going to be such an impactful year. I can feel it. Can you feel it, Pastor Dallas? Feel it? We've seen it already happen in Venezuela. You know, what's going on in Chile and Cuba now. I mean, what's coming out of the White House with Cuba. This is really fascinating. What's going on. And so what it does, what it feels. Feels like, what it feels like that a bunch of people want freedom and liberty, okay?
Pastor Dallas
They want spearhead some Venezuela did something.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
But what it, what's, what's truly happening here, Pastor Dallas? What I feel is throw down is what I feel like it is happening here is that these nations, even for temporary time, maybe, maybe, maybe longer, who knows? These nations are coming open for the gospel. True or not true?
Pastor Dallas
Very true.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
One of the things that Venezuela, when Venezuela sula broke out, we ended up getting a text message from Pastor Jonathan and he said, hey, listen, let's, let's, let's try to do a, an outreach in Venezuela like the one that we had in Houston. And so the. Immediately Brother Patrick sent one and he's like, next stop, North Korea. And so I thought what, you know, it was the middle of the night at the time. And so I remember being like, what's going on? Like North Korea. But you could tell everybody's looking at this with really. With eyes, like spiritual eyes. True.
Pastor Dallas
With eyes wide open.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
So anyway, it's greed. So it just feels as though these nations are coming open and it's going to be for the gospel.
Pastor Dallas
It's prophetic.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
It is, it's prophetic. It's the, the timing is delicious. It's. What is it? Can you look up what the Jewish calendar is this year? There's always a theme for the Jewish calendar as well. Can you look it up on chat gbt? What does it say? So today's title break, Jubilee, isn't it? Is it Jubilee? Breaking Iran and turmoil. The latest on this and more. Let's as we're waiting for this, let's get into our first post. There it is. Let's enlarge it. Thank you. There will be no more oil or money going to Cuba. Zero. I strongly suggest they make a deal before it's too late. Thank you for your attention to this matter coming from President Trump. So this is live, of course. This came out January 11th. Today is. What's the date? This is just moments ago. Moments ago. This is at 8:48am Cuba lived for many years on large amounts of oil and money from Venezuela, which makes sense, actually. In return, Cuba provided security services for the last two Venezuelan dictators. But no more. Or rather, but not anymore. Most of those Cubans are dead from last week's USA attack. And Venezuela. Did you know that? Did you know that? Did you know that Cubans were. Were. You can talk to it through voice mode.
Pastor Dallas
Hey, ChatGPT, what is the Jewish theme for this year? Oops. I called the chat this grok.
Podcast Announcer
So for this year, meaning 2024, the Jewish calendar included themes of resilience and reflection during holidays.
Pastor Dallas
Like it's not the year 2024, it's 2026. What's the year 2026 in the Jewish calendar?
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
All right, so listen to this. Yeah. Did you know that in Venezuela the Maduro was being protected by the Cuban military? Did you even know that?
Pastor Dallas
Of course. They're all in bed together. Dictators gravitate towards dictators.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Isn't this wild to you? But not anymore. Most of these Cubans are dead from last week's USA attack, which there is a post that the. What's her name, the House Speaker, Carolyn Levitt. Yeah, can you guys pull that, that post from her where it it. Actually, I want to share this with our audience about what actually transpired on the night that they captured Maduro because it's absolute USA is back, baby. It's back, baby.
Pastor Dallas
And America's back, baby.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Sorry, I won't delay it anymore. So here we go. USA attack in Venezuela doesn't need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years. Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the world by far, to protect them. And protect them we will. There will be no more oil or money going to Cuba.
News Reporter
Zero.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I strongly suggest they make a deal before it's too late. Thank you to your attention to this matter. What does this mean watching Check the News.

Welcome back to check the news.
AI Assistant (Grok)
The UN has decreed three official international years.
Pastor Dallas
Hey Grok, I need you to shut up all the way.
AI Assistant (Grok)
The International Year of Grok.
Pastor Dallas
Shut up. I'll read it to you though.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Max, what is it?
Pastor Dallas
Chpt says that this Jewish year is 5786. Okay. And this is the year of alignment and voice understanding. 5786. Hebrew years are often read symbolically by their last two digits. 5000 equates to the current millennium. Often understood as the era preparing for redemption. 7, 8. Hello, can you hear this reads as Tav, Shin, Pe, Vav and many teachers focus especially on the last two which is Pe. Vav. Pe is the mouth speech and Vav is the connection, the hook, the alignment. So the prophetic and spiritual emphasis here is understood as this is a year where what you see, say, must align with what you live. And the key themes are alignment of words, integrity and speech, declaration carrying weight, bridging heaven and earth through obedience. No more double minded living Jesus. What comes out of your mouth should match the covenant you claim There's a.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Line in the sand.
Pastor Dallas
Well, this is. This is awesome. Because it is. It would be considered the year of alignment and voice.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Oh, that's powerful. All right, continue on. How you guys doing? All right, here we go. So there we go. Zero. I strongly suggest they make a deal before it's too late. But what does this mean for Cuba and what does it mean for the Cuban people? So more on this to come because we really don't know. And here's to hoping that the government of Cuba and its senile leadership makes a deal before it's too late. More to come on this, I'm sure. This week. Next. It's only the 10th day of 2026 and we're already a strong competitor for the man of the year. Absolute goat. Where is this? I wonder. He can climb any ran. No, it's not.
Pastor Dallas
Might be around.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Oh, it's. It has to be sort of. That.
Pastor Dallas
No, he takes down the flag of Iran that symbolizes Muslims or Islams and now he's pulling that one out and putting the one that's actual freedom like they used to experience.
Podcast Announcer
This is.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Where is this?
Pastor Dallas
I think it's around.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
This guy is. I can't imagine scaling a building like this.
News Reporter
Hello.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Look at this. He is risking life and limbs. This is in London. Okay. It's at their embassy. Iranian embassy. Must be. Dang. That is some sheer strength. Please don't fall. Wow. Let's go. All right, come back to me. Can you set up Grock again? Hey, Grock. I forgot what I was. How many times has there been upheaval in Iran that results in no change in dictatorship?
AI Assistant (Grok)
Well, looking back, Iran's had several major uprisings against its rulers without shifting the core. Dictatorship like the 1979 revolution ousted the Shah but brought in Khomeini's Thaya Krishi, which tightened authoritarianism. Then the 2009 green movement protested election fraud. Millions out, but regime cracked down. No real power change. Mahsa Amini protests in 2022, 23 over women's rights. Huge, deadly. Yet the Islamic Republic held firm count at least three big ones since mid 20th century, maybe more. Smaller ones. The power always stayed dictatorial. History's pattern there.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
What are the odds that this dictatorship will collapse in 2026? Are there any betting odds out there? She got nothing.
Pastor Dallas
Alexa.
AI Assistant (Grok)
Checking the latest prediction market.
Pastor Dallas
Alexa, stop interrupting.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Chad. I'm gonna stab you. Next. Next. She's. We're over. We're gonna. She sounds like she's gonna blow up.
Pastor Dallas
Yeah, let's just not.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Let's not ask her. Greetings from the great nation of Nigeria. This is your pastor. This is my pastor, Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth. Greetings from the great nation of Nigeria. I asked Dr. Kamuyi to lay hands on me for rapid church multiplication. I believe God brought me here to expand my spirit to make proper impact with the gospel in America. It's difficult to produce what you haven't seen, seen and felt. But now I've seen it and felt it. Time for replication. Have a tremendous Sunday revival today. Global Pursuit. Family. God is with us. Isn't this so wonderful? Can you just zoom into yes, Queen. Wow.
Pastor Dallas
That's wild, huh?
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Glory to God. Glory to God.
Pastor Dallas
So proud of him.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Look at that. Look at that leadership.
Pastor Dallas
Look at that.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I'm so proud. Look at this. Wow. Powerful. Next. Just have to throw that in there. Spectators. Elon Musk is world changing. If you can, like, enlarge this. Elon Musk opened Starlink for free in Iran, giving protesters a lifeline amid the Internet blackout. He vows to keep the network running and block any attempts by the regime to shut it down. Freedom signals in the digital age, which is like. I mean, he's doing the Lord's work, Elon. He is doing the Lord's work. I'll tell you why. What this regime tends to do is whenever there's upheaval, they'll. They'll do mandatory blackouts. They'll silence their people with Internet blackouts and so on and so forth, and then go in and start cleaning up, if you know what I'm saying. They'll start killing people. They'll start silencing their opposition. And so what Elon Musk has been doing is literally the Lord's work. And it keeps people in Iran able to communicate with the outside world. If you want to play the video, please, of the. This is Starlink in the sky. Sorry for the music. We can. Yeah, there you go. Fun story about this. We were driving in Arizona one year with our staff, and if you want to play that video again. And we were talking about alien invasions because it was so such a starry night. And Patrick was to my right because I was driving. And then there was. I had a van full of our staff. And so we were all talking, and then all of a sudden we see this. This line of what we thought was stars. And. And so we stopped the car, pull over, shut the lights off, look up, and there's Starlink. But we didn't know that it was Starlink. We just thought we were getting invaded by aliens. And so I respect that. Panicked. We literally panicked. But, yeah, that's Starlink. Next update. In a viral interview, a furious Venezuelan woman destroyed the narrative of the radical left. In 26 years of hell, nobody has done anything for us except Trump. If he needs our oil to secure our freedom, we're willing to pay. He's the only one who kept his promise. I'm not going to watch it, but I will say that. What else is Donald Trump going to do this year? Okay, we are on day 11 of the 2026 calendar year. Hello. Next.
Pastor Dallas
It's gonna be good.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
It's gonna be good. Freedom. This is coming from J.K. rowling, the. The author of Harry Potter. If you claim to support human rights, yet can't bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you've revealed yourself. You don't give a darn about people being oppressed and brutalized so long as it's being done by the enemies of your enemy.
Pastor Dallas
Wow.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
And so, of course, we're more on this little image in a bit. Next.
Pastor Dallas
You know what ticks me off, too, is that when it comes to Venezuela, there's very hard. Like, there's hardly anybody on social media. And I looked. That is of Hispanic descent. That is given any kind of credit to Trump and this administration for rectifying the crazy things that are happening out there.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Well, I know a lot of Venezuelanos that are tying Trump directly to the. The liberty of that right nation.
Pastor Dallas
But when it comes to, like, celebrities. Why. Why is everybody just.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
There's more on that. I have some. Some more on that.
Pastor Dallas
Next.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
We. You just wait. Next. All right, this is now. Wait. This is how Iran was play. Now again, look at the women. They still look like that. They're still absolutely stunning. Freedom. They had a. I think they had a crown prince. Yeah, he's. That. That guy's dad is. Or that guy's son is still alive. He's. He's in. Living in the United States.
Pastor Dallas
More.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
We'll see more on him. There's the king of Iran before he got ousted by basically Islam. Next. Okay. Short skirt. Absolutely brutal. I'm sorry. There you go. Absolutely. Absolutely breathtaking scenes coming out of Iran amid the blackout. Go play. Next. This is where that image came from. This is what dissent looks like when the stakes are life and death. In the west we're used to protests as performance In Iran it can be death sentence. Do not underestimate the courage it takes for an uncovered woman to go on camera to do this play. Next. All eyes on Iran. Take a look. A different view. That's crazy. Next.

Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
You just don't do it. Next. Kind of Rubio expresses US support for Iranian people amidst anti government protest. Next. President Trump shared the tweet from US Senator Lindsey Graham Saturday on a tweet warning Tehran that its brutal brutality against its own people will not go unchallenged. So this is some news coming out of Washington, D.C. and of course, you're wondering if you're like me, you're wondering what part is the US Going to play here? And of course, they're not going to tell you their plans. They never did with Venezuela. And so it's very interesting to me, this week will be a very key week. As this unfolds, quote, this truly is not the Obama administration when it comes to standing up to the Iranian ayatollah and his religious Nazi henchmen. The standing behind the people of Iran protesting for a better life, said the North Carolina, South Carolina lawmaker wrote on X the regime leadership. Your brutality against the great people of Iran will not go unchallenged. Make Iran great again. It's not the only one that's calling for Iran to be great again. Next. Here we go. Let's go to the next piece. Dear world, are you watching the 14th night of the Iranian uprising? 14th night demanding freedom. The 14th night of fighting the Islamic regime. Freedom for Iran. Let's play. Next. Breaking Iranian Jews and British patriots have started to gather outside the Islamic Republic Embassy in London, which is where you saw that flag thing play. Next. This is how the BBC is reporting the freedom revolution in Iran. May they rot in hell right next to the ayatollahs. This is coming from. I don't know. I can't see that. AREN Wexler, There you go. AARON Wexler, Iran leader says protesters are vandals trying to please Trump. Could you imagine? This is, this is the reason why mainstream news is dead. Next, the audacity. Here we go. Play a message for Elon Musk on.
Show Host
Behalf of the Iranian people. First of all, I want to personally thank you for everything that you've done while the rest of the world looked away. Your kindness and generosity will not be forgotten. This is also for anybody else who can facilitate getting Starlink or Internet access into Iran. When the regime shuts the Internet down, when Iran goes dark, it isn't because they don't want you to see the protesters. It's because they don't want you to see them. They don't want you to see what the regime is about to do in the dark. And what it's about to do is commit a deadly massacre. It is about to disappear protesters into mass graves. They know that they can't do that while the world is Watching, they know that they will face consequences from the international community who have already promised intervention. So long as people have access to the Internet, that serves as a chilling effect, preventing the regime from committing the massacre it is frothing at the mouth to commit. For that reason, Internet access isn't just about journalism. It is life saving. And I humbly ask that you do everything in your power to help save the lives of young Iranians who are protesting just for the same freedoms and privileges that we are so fortunate to enjoy.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Thank you, Trump. Iran is in big trouble. Play.
News Reporter
So Iran's in big trouble. It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago. We're watching the situation very carefully. I've made the statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved. We'll be hitting them very hard where it hurts. And that doesn't mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts. So we don't want that to happen. There have been cases like this where President Obama totally backed down. But this is something pretty incredible that's happening in Iran. It's an amazing thing to watch. They've done a bad job, they've treated their people very badly, and now they're being paid back. So let's see what happens. We're watching it. We're watching it very closely.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Benjamin Netanyahu. Play. I thought it was in English. Let me read what he says. Let me translate it. Or the translation is there. If you want to enlarge that for me so I'm not squinting. We all hope the Persian nation will soon be freed from the yoke of tyranny. And when that day comes, Israel and Iran will once again be faithful partners in building a future of prosperity and peace for both people. That's coming from Bibi Netanyahu. Next. From the inside here. Iranians. Iranians. I like how she says it better than me. Iranians with their starling dish. Take a look. Enlarge the picture there. It is not fun. Next, the mass protests continue in Iran today. Play. You know, a lot of these are like young men, young women that, and they have to, they leave their household because the, the regime will literally isolate and it'll try to find them one by one and just to try to scare like that community. And so the entire communities will, will their homes and leave everything they know and then just kind of still just congregate together because there's safety in numbers. Because they know that if they go back, they're done. That's how serious it is out there. Next, Toronto. What's happening? Pastor Dallas Jesus is coming back. I say, look at what's happening in Toronto. Play. Oh, no.
Pastor Dallas
That's a great crowd. My goodness.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth

Breaking Japan condemns the Islamic Republic. Murdering unarmed Iranians. As Prime Minister of Japan. I hear. Hello.

I literally was like, ready for tacos. Your compatriots around the world are proudly shouting your voice. And you must surely see images of their numerous and widespread presence through your television screen. The world today stands beside your national revolution and admires your courage. In particular, President Trump, as the leader of the free world, has carefully observed your indescribable bravery and has announced that he is ready to you. Do not abandon the streets. My heart is with you. I know that I will soon be by your side. How emotional is that? This is just because we're on the 21 days of that. Ah, next. Here he is again. Is this furthermore, by your widespread courageous presence in the streets across Iran the for the third consecutive night. Oh, this is old. Next, Mario Nafal, Iran's exiled crown prince to Trump. Let's liberate Iran and make it great again. So it's so interesting that you have on all different camps saying we need to make Iran great again. We'll see more on this this week. Next, Netanyahu addresses Iranian people. We will be partners again. We just watched it.

Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
I exposed paid Venezuelan protesters. What you're seeing happening and unfolding in the media. Nice to meet you. All of these people that are like, you know, radicalized and being killed or whatever, like these paid protesters is actually a thing. So I wanted you to think for years now, without a doubt. But I want people to look up or research some of these, these, these journalists that are actually doing the Lord's work out there and exposing these frauds.
Podcast Announcer
Million dollars to protest.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Listen. $20 million to protest. Now you, now you start seeing, pause for a second. Now you start realizing why people are risking. Listen. Why? Why people are risking life. Now you understand why people are risking it for the Biscuit. If you gave me $20 million, I'd, I'd, I confront an ICE agent, you damn skippy, I would.
Pastor Dallas
But you see me on social media, yo, what with a mask, With a rainbow mask. You mind your own DAG on business. Did you say $20 million?
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
No, I'm telling you.
Pastor Dallas
What, or like the overall I'll start growing armpit hair.

Welcome back to Check the News.
Political Commentator
I would kill the leadership that are killing the people. You've got to end this. If it ends well, then peace breaks out. All the state sponsor of terrorism activity stops. Hezbollah, Hamas, they go away. Israel and Saudi make peace. A new day in the Mid East. If the Ayatollah hangs on, it's a giant Obama step backward. I have faith in you, Mr. President. I have trust in you. You are the Ronald Reagan plus of our time.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Wow. What a time to be alive. What a time to be alive.
Pastor Dallas
Guys, eyes open. I want you to have your eyes open because this year is going to be the year of the throwdown. And so that means if you're watching.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
This, go ahead and like and subscribe. Like and subscribe.
Pastor Dallas
It's not gonna be, it's not gonna be cute anymore.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Have you ever been in a fist fight? They're not cute.
Pastor Dallas
No, they're not.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
There's only one one of us that has been in a fistfight and it ain't me.
Pastor Dallas
I was under the blood. And I don't appreciate that. But here's just, just one thing that I want you to remember is that Jesus, really, this is a sign of the times. And so we are borrow, we are living on borrowed time. And so that's what I want you to whatever happens on the outside. Because the Bible says that the world is going to get progressive, darker, that there'll be wars and rumors of wars. Right. And so our position, our job then is to stay in alignment with the word of God that we know. And we're not scared of these things that are happening.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Yeah.
Pastor Dallas
And so it doesn't matter that Trump just put in $16 more trillion dollars or maybe that's just something that, like a figure that I pulled out of my butt. But who cares if you put in trillions of more dollars into our defense system? Like something's going to happen. It doesn't matter what's happening all around us. What we know is that Jesus is coming back and it's setting the stage for his return. What you're seeing now is the prophetic alignment for what's happening in the spirit. The Bible says in the book of Micah that there's going to be a shaking that occurs. And everything that once had, whatever will be shaken can be shaken. Whatever can be shaken will be shaken. And so there's that. That's what it seems like. There's this simultaneous shaking that's happening throughout the nations of the world. And that is not by accident. What happened in Venezuela, what's happening now in Iran, what's happening in Cuba and Chile and all the rest of the world where there's dictatorships and people being oppressed and unable to spread the message of Jesus Christ. North Korea will soon follow. All of these things have to be shaken in order for the gospel to be pushed and to be propitiated. Is that a word?
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Yeah, propitiated, yeah. And you can be a part of it.
Pastor Dallas
And you can be a part of it right now.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
Like, and that's like. And subscribe.
Pastor Dallas
John currently is in Nigeria. What we're doing right now is we're coming at you from all kinds of, of, of avenues. We've got TV with Real America's Voice, we've got the social media, YouTube, and we've got. Got just a slew of other ways that you can connect so that we can continue to push the gospel of Jesus Christ. What I know to be true about America is the very reason why we continue to live in this freedom is because of the truth found in God's word. Our forefathers gave their lives to this. What was happening now in Iran and in Venezuela, that was what. What was happening here so many years ago. And now we get to reap the benefit of it. But it's because there was people that stood up for righteousness and there was this government that we're given now that was, was created in the knowledge of that. That word and its understanding. And so we've got to continue preaching the gospel. This is the only power that can change people's lives and can change the world. And we have to do it. We've got to get into position to spearhead that movement. And it starts with you. I preached about it this morning. Taking the responsibility as an individual and don't be just a spectator. Be a participator.
Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
That's what I was gonna say. I was just gonna say that you can do your part. You can do your part by continuing your support to ministries like ours, Global Pursuit. You can sow into the endeavors of the people that are literally planning an amazing 2026. That's us. That's us, guys.

Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth
This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
The January 17th, 2026, edition of "Check the News" dives deep into breaking developments surrounding political and cultural upheaval—both in the U.S. and abroad, with a special focus on ongoing protests and revolutions in Iran and Venezuela. The hosts dissect recent U.S. foreign policy actions, highlight the theme of international yearning for liberty, and reflect on perceived shifts in American political attitudes—especially growing disillusionment with the Democratic Party among some minorities and celebrities. Tying all this together is a recurring spiritual motif: 2026 is framed as "the year of the throwdown,” interpreted as a period of reckoning and global prophetic change.
Segment opens with a string of passionate monologues and guests expressing anger at rising crime, decay in American cities, and what they view as the Democratic Party's moral failures (02:20–05:11).
Host Reflections:
Hosts highlight 2026 as “the year of the throwdown”—a time marked by retribution, upheaval, and opening for the Gospel. (07:44–09:33)
Jewish Calendar Prophecy (15:10)
Discussion of U.S. policy stance, with Trump and lawmakers pledging support to protesters and warning Iran against another massacre.
Notable global solidarity:
“They call us monsters while they mutilate their own kids and kill in cold blood… The die is cast. And we’re not taking any more of this sick bull.”
(Conservative Commentator, 02:40)
“I don’t give a fuck who look at me different. I’m voting for Trump. Even my great-grandmother, 95 years old, lifelong Democrat, is going to vote for Trump this year.”
(Unattributed guest, 04:44)
“It feels like a bunch of people want freedom and liberty, okay?”
(Pastor Jonathan, 08:47)
“This is a year where what you see, say, must align with what you live.”
(Pastor Dallas, 16:17)
“Elon Musk…he is doing the Lord’s work.”
(Pastor Jonathan, 21:21)
“If you claim to support human rights, yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a darn about people being oppressed and brutalized so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemy."
(J.K. Rowling via Pastor Jonathan, 23:46)
“Internet access isn’t just about journalism. It is life-saving. …do everything in your power to help save the lives of young Iranians…”
(Iranian protestor’s message, 31:27)
“If they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved. …It means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts.”
(Donald Trump, 32:26)
“This is a sign of the times. …Our job is to stay in alignment with the word of God that we know. And we’re not scared of these things that are happening.”
(Pastor Dallas, 43:03)
The hosts’ language is passionate, frequently combative, with a mix of populist rhetoric, spiritual urgency, and humor. The show vacillates between serious political analysis, scriptural commentary, and banter. Political adversaries (notably Democrats and certain celebrities) are described in hyperbolic, often hostile terms. Foreign policy is viewed through the prism of American strength and divine timing.
This episode is a whirlwind blend of breaking world news, domestic politics, and evangelical fervor. Amid condemnation of perceived cultural decline, the hosts frame national and international upheavals—especially in Iran and Venezuela—as signs of global spiritual realignment and opportunity for spreading the Christian gospel. Voices once loyal to the Democratic Party discuss a shift in allegiance toward Trump, while international stories are seen as prophecy in motion. The call to action? Participation—in both the civic sphere and in supporting evangelistic outreach as "the throwdown" year unfolds.
