United Arab Emirates looks to topple the IRGC and the Republicans now favorites according to the gambling odds for the Senate race. Got a little lengthy clip to start. Let me see it. While President Trump just posted this bombshell overnight. Arrest Obama the traitor. Here's Jesse Waters commentary on it. Roll it.
Investigative Reporter
The Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releasing a bombshell report today that shows a conspiracy by a sitting President Barack Obama and his intel agencies to sabotage the president elect Donald Trump, brainwash the electorate and undermine the legitimacy of an election.
Political Commentator
There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't.
Investigative Reporter
Gabber got her hands on a house intel report that's been locked away in a CIA vault for almost a decade. Investigators spent over 2,000 hours looking into how the Russia hoax was born, interviewing 20 CIA and FBI officials. And it turns out that the Obama administration doctored the intelligence to make it look like Putin and Trump stole the election. A month after Trump.
Host
I have a tweet on my Instagram story of all the accomplishments since Pam Bondi got deposed. Seems like things are moving now, so if you can grab that for me for after this, Go ahead.
Investigative Reporter
Barack Obama wasn't satisfied with his intelligence reporting and ordered his CIA director to create a new assessment of how Russia interfered with the election. This was a highly unusual move. John Brennan handpicked five CIA analysts to write the assessment and they were siloed. None of them knew what the other was doing. And only one analyst was in charge of drafting this report. There was nothing routine about this and it was a rush job to publish before Trump was sworn in. Nothing was coordinated with the other intelligence agencies either. Basically, this was home cooking for Barack Obama. There were four key elements from the assessment that were repeated over and over again and form the basis of the Russia hoax and the Robert Mueller witch hunt. One, that Vladimir Putin wanted Donald Trump to win. Two, Putin took action to help Trump win. Three, the Russians had blackmail on Trump that was the Steele dossier. And four, that the Russians tried colluding with the Trump campaign. None of any of this was ever true. There was no reliable intelligence to support any of these allegations. Senior CIA officials repeatedly refused to traffic in these allegations, but they were repeatedly overruled by CIA Director Brennan and FBI Director Comey who insisted that they be pushed. Even without verifiable evidence. The Obama administration cherry picked the intelligence, lied about their sources, misquoted sources, didn't corroborate their claims. They suppressed intelligence that ran counter to their narratives and even used anonymous Internet postings. Rank and file. CIA admitted what they were doing violated their own tradecraft standards. There was a massive pressure campaign that came right from the top. CIA analysts say they received unusual directives from political appointees, the CIA director and Obama himself. This is how the Russia hoax was born.
Political Commentator
Donald Trump knows that the Russians helped
Host
him win in 2016. Putin hated Secretary Clinton so much that the flip side of that coin was he had a clear preference for the person running against the person he hated so much.
Public Ad Representative
It was Russia in a very systematic
Host
way and tried to interfere in the election and to try to advance the
Public Ad Representative
prospects of Donald Trump being elected.
Investigative Reporter
This was such a malicious disinformation campaign perpetrated on the American people that at one point, 60% of Democrats believed the Russians hacked our voting machines to help Trump win the White House. What this report actually shows is that the Russians just wanted to create chaos and undermine Americans faith in democracy. Solid intelligence suggested that Vladimir Putin didn't care who won. He had no preference, but like most people, expected Hillary to win and had a little docket of compromising dirt on her. Dirt that he never released. Now if Putin wanted Trump to win, why didn't Putin drop the dirt?
Political Commentator
There were high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's quote, psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers. Then CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious substandard sources to create a contrived false narrative that Putin developed a quote, unquote, clear preference for Trump.
Investigative Reporter
Now, if Clinton was on tranquilizers like the Russians believed, why didn't they leak it to help Trump win?
Host
How credible was the information about Hillary Clinton's health?
Political Commentator
All I have seen is what the Intelligence Committee have reported through their investigation. I think the underlying point there is, is that we understand from intelligence what Russia said that they had. And the important point here is that if they were trying to influence the election as President Obama and James Clapper and John Brennan, everybody said they were doing in order to support Donald Trump's election, they would have released the most damning of that information.
Investigative Reporter
Obama and his spy chiefs knew that Putin didn't prefer Trump over Hillary, but they cooked the intelligence to make it look like he did. Obama and his intel spies knew that Putin didn't collude with Trump and that he didn't even direct his people to help Trump win. But they put it out there anyway. In a sense, Barack Obama did exactly what Putin undermined Americans faith in free and fair elections and caused chaos in our country. Barack Obama, the CIA and the FBI were the ones doing what our enemy wanted.
Political Commentator
Do you believe that any of this new information implicates former President Obama in criminal behavior? We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this for even Obama. The evidence, correct, the evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirmed that fact.
Investigative Reporter
Even two years later, after the election, Barack Obama was still pushing a hoax he knew wasn't true. And he knew it wasn't true because he helped manufacture it.
Pastor Randall
They're undermining our alliances, cozying up to Russia. What happened to the Republican Party? They're cozying up to the former head of the kgb, Actively blocking legislation that that would defend our elections from Russian attack. What happened now?
Investigative Reporter
I don't know if it's possible to indict a former president for actions he took while in office. I'm not a lawyer proudly, but Brennan, Comey and others may have severe liability. Trey Gowdy says, we know for a fact that Brennan Committed perjury when he lied to Congress.
Public Ad Representative
Director Brennan, do you know who commissioned the Steele dossier?
Host
I don't. You know if the Bureau ever relied on the Steele dossier as any. As part of any court filings, applications? I have no awareness. Did the CIA rely on it? No. Why not?
Pastor Randall
Because we.
Host
We didn't.
Public Ad Representative
We. It wasn't part of the corpus of
Host
intelligence information that we had.
Public Ad Representative
It was not in any way used as a basis for the intelligence community assessment. That was done. It was. It was not.
Investigative Reporter
Well, that's a lie. Whatever happens to these guys is not revenge. It's accountability. And it's time for people to pay the price.
Host
Next. There it is. The Department of Justice since Attorney General Bondi got fired Dem charged for being a CCP agent that was. I don't have that included in this show. I should have. The mayor of a town in California just pled guilty to being an agent for China as the elected mayor. SPLC indicted for funds to the KKK Fauci advisor charged over Covid Somalian daycares raided in Minnesota Comey charged for 8,647 threat nine foreign scam centers busted. Cloudera sued for visa fraud 25 plus TDA members charge rogue Prosecutors purged. Firing squad is reinstated. Fraud division launched legal gun deregulation. 39 days with Todd Blanche in charge Just to show you what a loser Pam Bondi was. So now that he's in charge, there's more hope than there was when he wasn't. Next. It's official. The communists have inflated. Oh no. I guess they do have it. Or you found it. Good job. The communists have infiltrated California Mayor Eileen Wang went full illegal CCP agent mode. Taking directives from the People's Republic of China on what to post on a fake news website. Now she pleads guilty and could face up to 10 years in prison. Roll it.

The United Arab Emirates have just invaded Iran from within. Now, I was having a chat with Grok because I was hopeful that the United Arab Emirates would be the mechanism to topple the IRGC. But Grog says there's a zero percent chance they only have 60,000 troops and Iran has 650,000 troops. I would not put it at zero though, because that 650,000, if nobody defects and if they keep not getting paid. But it just. I don't, I don't know what this is going to lead to, but this is interesting to me. After Iran bombarded them relentlessly with missiles and drones, the UAE responded with full FAFO activated. I don't know if it was full fafo. Let's see what they did. Emirati forces have been carrying out direct military attacks on Iranian territory for several days now. This isn't a rumor. Fox confirms they're inside the Islamic Republic, hitting hard. Okay, this is no longer a missile exchange. This is open war. Well, if that's true, then what Grok said is wrong. Gulf nations are lining up with force. The Persian bear kept poking and now it's getting real. Claw swipes the Middle east map. Okay, take it easy, buddy. The Middle east map just changed forever. I don't know about that. Roll it. They're reporting from the Wall Street Journal that forces from the United Arab Emirates are carrying out military strikes inside. See the uae, That's Dubai, right at the tip, right by Iran. It's funny how there's no talk amongst rich people in America anymore, but I'm just going to leave and live in Dubai. Have you ever been there? It's beautiful. There's no theft. Yes, and you're also one inch from Iran, so that's the downside. It's like I take my family to Las Vegas and love it. I wouldn't be going there that much if the Gaza Strip was the next county over. Keep going, Iran. Fox is told that the UAE forces are directly engaged inside the Islamic Republic and have been for several days. This comes after Iran launched dozens of missiles and drones at the uae. Reporting from the Wall Street Journal that forces from the United Arab Emirates are carrying out military strikes inside Iran, Fox is told that the UAE forces are directly engaged inside the Islamic Republic and have been for several days. This comes after Iran launched dozens of missiles and drones at The UAE during the conflict. Yeah. UAE is ticked because Iran. I can't remember what they knocked out. Can I. Can I talk to Gronk? What's the United Arab Emirates so ticked off at Iran for? I know they got hit with drone strikes, but what did did Iran hit that really they felt was, like, way too far?
News Analyst
Iran hit the UAE with hundreds of missiles and drones starting late February 2026, right after US and Israeli strikes on Iran. The UAE got the worst of it across the Gulf, thousands of intercepts, but some got through, killing about 13 people, injuring over 220, and damaging key spots like Dubai Airport, Jebel Ali Port, the Ruwais Refinery, Fujairah, oil facilities, gas fields, and even the iconic Burj Al Arab from debris. Beyond the drone strikes you mentioned, what really crossed the line for them was Iran hammering civilian and economic targets. Airports, hotels, ports, and oil infrastructure that shut down major refineries, disrupted global trade and tourism, and felt like economic warfare. On Dubai's role as a safe financial hub, Iran saw the UAE as too close to the US and Israel, basically a launch pad. So they went hard after it, despite the UAE trying to stay neutral beforehand. The UAE's furious. They closed their embassy in Tehran, called it terrorism, arrested people for sharing videos, and even struck back at an Iranian refinery. It's not just the attacks. It's that Iran ignored their diplomacy and hit the heart of their economy and image.
Host
Right. And Dubai is trying to build themselves as, like, the tourism center of the world, and Iran disrupted that, and now people don't know if they want to go there on vacation. So is the UAE 100% committed now to toppling the IRGC?
News Analyst
No, they're not 100% committed to toppling the IRGC. The UAE wants the regime neutered. No more missiles, no more proxies, ironclad guarantees and reparations for the damage to Dubai and their economy. They've called for maximum pressure on the irgc, secretly hit Iranian targets, and pushed hard for a conclusive outcome. With MBZ telling Trump to finish the job. But actually invading or actively trying to overthrow Tehran, that's a step too far for them. They prefer others do the heavy lifting while they stay focused on business and security. They're all in on weakening Iran permanently, but not necessarily on regime change at all costs.
Host
If the US won't, won't go in to topple the regime, and they want others to do it, who else would do it?
News Analyst
Nobody's really stepping up to do a full invasion or regime change. The UAE's betting on a combo of heavy sanctions, covert strikes like the one they did on that Iranian refinery, and hoping the Iranian people or internal fractures finish the job themselves. Realistically, the only other serious player is Israel. They've already been hitting Iran hard alongside the US and their security ties with the UAE have never been tighter, even sending Iron Dome batteries there. But Israel stretched thin, too. Saudi Arabia's staying more cautious. And no Arab next.
Host
See, nobody. Nobody will step up and go into Iran. But I guess from that news story, they're in Iran. Whatever. We'll see what develops next. The ultimate compilation of Tucker Carlson contradicting himself. Roll it.
Tucker Carlson
My view is you can kind of tell who's telling the truth. You can smell it.
Host
You know, you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist.
Tucker Carlson
I have not said that.
Host
On your show, you said, could this be the Antichrist?
Tucker Carlson
I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist? Could this be the Antichrist? I don't know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips.
Host
Raised some eyebrows this week when you said that Hamas is more like, man, Tucker got whatever he spent on that shirt. He got his money's worth. He's got the same amount of shirts as Peter Griffin. One continue political organization than a terror group.
Tucker Carlson
Hamas is, you know, group of jihadis. They're Islamic extremists, which they also claim constantly, which I don't. I don't know if that's true, by the way. Seems more like a political organization. I didn't. I didn't actually, I didn't say.
Investigative Reporter
I didn't say that.
Tucker Carlson
Future that I imagine is not a future in which we're yelling at each other about race. It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent.
Host
You said in our previous interview, the future that I imagine is not a future in which we're yelling at each other about race. It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent.
Tucker Carlson
I'm amazed that you have a tape of me saying that, and I just want to disavow it. A lot of young men in America, mostly white, but not exclusively, listen to Nick Fuentes really carefully. This kid is the single most influential figure among young white men. And not just white, actually.
Pastor Randall
Is that true?
Host
Well, it's definitely true.
Tucker Carlson
Of course, half the thing was about Fuentes and, like, who cared? Fuentes.
Host
There was a lot of Fuentes.
Tucker Carlson
Who cares about Fuentes? Talk about irrelevant.
Public Ad Representative
America's supporting Israel because it's an Ally.
Tucker Carlson
I don't even know what those words mean. I'm just saying my principle.
Host
They're an ally, right? I mean, they both.
Tucker Carlson
That means to be an ally. Qatar is like one of our closest allies in the world. The largest American air base in the Middle east is in Qatar. They're a close ally of ours. I come to Israel and the infrastructure we're flying in and I said to my buddy, I was like, man, the looks, first of all, looks great. I love the agriculture in Israel because it's beautiful. I love green, I love plants.
Public Ad Representative
I remember when it didn't look like that.
Tucker Carlson
Yeah, yeah.
Public Ad Representative
First time I came here, 53 years ago.
Tucker Carlson
It's great. Israel, which is one of the single ugliest countries in the world. Nothing of beauty has been built there since 1948. Sorry, I've been everywhere in that country. And it's true. Let me get to the nub of the question since again, a lot is at stake. A lot of money is at stake. Land is very valuable. Israel has a lot of resources. We have a huge country. This is a country the size of New Jersey with no resources. An attack on Western civilization looks like this. It's tribalism, it's identity politics, it's dei, it's whatever. Zionism, it's any belief system that begins with the understanding that one group is morally superior to other groups. Well, just on principle, like every other group in the world has the right to its own homeland. Except white people. Like what JD has been subject to. This is well known, but I'll just confirm it. Non stop treachery.
Host
You're accusing people of treachery.
News Analyst
So I'm wondering, who do you mean specifically?
Tucker Carlson
I don't, you know, I don't know the answer to that. I've never worked there. So, like, if you don't work there, you can say you, you know, you can say what you think you know, but it's hard to really know if I was telling my kids. If you think someone's lying to you, you're right.
Host
You bunch of good for nothing yellow belly. Good for nothing milquetoast. Sorry, liberal social drinkers next. Ripley, West Virginia tonight. Been flying home. I'm flying home almost every night to see a Dawson camila. It's a three and a half hour drive and a 28 minute flight. Longer to drive to the airport than it is to get there, so pretty cool. And last night was off the hook. I would love to see you in Ripley, West Virginia. If you're in Eastern Ohio, southeastern Ohio or West Virginia. Be a part of these meetings. Tonight's going to be great. Victory Church, 7 O', clock, 3134 Charleston Road, Ripley, West Virginia. See you there. Senator John Fetterman and Bill Maher mocked the left's outrage over Trump's renovation of the White House ballroom. Roll it now.
Pastor Randall
I was a table away when that assassination. Oh, you were. And it just, I'm like, I was stunned just walking in. You have the entire line of succession right there. And could you just imagine, I mean, we all remember Oklahoma Bomb, right?
Host
Yes. They could have had someone, you know, in a room up there.
Pastor Randall
Boom. And you could have decapitated the, you know, our nation just in one thing with, you know, a couple thousand dollars of diamond dynamite and thing. It's.
Host
And again, can I get. When John Federman had his stroke, I vaguely remember his wife taking the kids and going to Canada or something. Are they still together or how's the old marriage doing?
News Analyst
Yeah, you're remembering right after his stroke and then the depression hospitalization in early 2023, Giselle took the kids up to Canada for a bit to get away from the media frenzy. They're still married, no divorce, but it's been pretty rocky. They've had real fights over politics, especially Israel and immigration. And she's been pretty vocal about not being on board with some of his shifts. She even deleted her social media earlier this year after posting against isis. Thanks for watching.

A Christian school in Vermont has partially settled a lawsuit for five. You know, yes, we would all love the Epstein files released and I'm still pushing for it and it should be released and everybody involved in Epstein island should burn in hell for eternity. I'm not saying yes, but having said that, since it wasn't going to get released under Biden anyway, to just write off Trump's presidency is a total loss. Like Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson does. You're purposely forgetting about 150 to 200 things like this. You know, a Christian school in Vermont that got barred from playing sports because they wouldn't play against transgender, you know, male athletes, trans women, whatever. Not only can they play again, they're getting half a million for the school. Let's read it. This would not have happened under another Department of Justice. Mid Vermont Christian School has reached a partial settlement in its legal battle against state athletic officials, securing over half a million dollars. That's a lot in Vermont. You can't tell me that that state school association has that kind of money. And I don't Know if insurance covers that? I don't know if you can get like trans insurance. After being barred from competition over its stance on transgender athletes by the Vermont Principals association, the Vermont Principals association has agreed to pay the school 566,000 to cover damages and legal fees. This agreement follows a 2023 decision by the association to ban MVCSC. 2023 Biden Christian School gets banned from competition 2026 under Trump reinstated with half a mil. The ban was originally triggered when the school's girls basketball team forfeited a game rather than compete against the team with a 6 foot 2 bearded woman who slam dunked and crushed a girl's skull when she threw the ball through the hoop. After it was banned, the school sued the association and state education officials. While the VPA has settled this portion of the dispute, representatives for the school note that other legal claims remain active so they might get more money. A federal appeals court decision last September paved the way for Mid Vermont Christian School to return to state sanctioned athletics and extracurricular activities. The court found that the association acted with hostility. Sure did. Now again, remember stories like this. When people say there's no Christian bias. These people Christians talk about Christian bias. Yeah. Here's one upheld by the court. It bypassed its own disciplinary protocols when it expelled the school. You know what that means? That there needs to be like a warning, then a suspension. But they just threw them out of the league. The ruling highlighted public comments made by VPA Executive director Jay Nichols, who had characterized the school's religious stance as blatant discrimination. The court determined these remarks contributed to a record of animus against the school's faith based motives. The VPA's executive director publicly castigated Mid Vermont and religious schools generally. While the VPA rushed to judgment. Judge park wrote the alliance good job adf. They never lose. Representing represents the school the alliance for defending freedom. ADF Senior Counsel David Courtman, Vice President of U.S. litigation said the government cannot punish religious schools and the families they serve by permanently kicking them out of state state sponsored sports simply because the state disagrees with their religious beliefs. There's a price to pay for violating constitutional rights for Christian schools and students. There is under this administration. The injunction allows MVCs to resume VPA participation immediately. Wow. Just took till now. The broader legal battle continues. See, and that hurts a school. They should also be able to get a settlement because you can't tell me that doesn't hurt enrollment. If your girl wants to play basketball or your son wants to play baseball and you're not going to send them to a Christian school. Even if you're a dad like me, that's a Christian if they can't play those sports. The injunction allows MVCs to resume VPA participation immediately. The broader legal battle continues. The case now returns to a lower court to address remaining issues, including whether the school was or should be excluded from state tuition and dual enrollment programs. Can I talk to Grok? You know that Mid Vermont school that got a settlement today? I know there's still more litigation out. Shouldn't they also. Do they. Do they have a case or have they filed a case for loss of enrollment or the fact that it hurt the school if they couldn't have a sports program during that time?
News Analyst
Yeah, you're talking about Mid Vermont Christian School. They just got a $566,000 settlement from the Vermont Principals association for getting banned from all state speech, sports and activities after that girl's basketball forfeit. That money covers damages and legal fees for the two plus years they were locked out. The main lawsuit against state education officials is still going mostly over the tuition program now, not directly the sports ban. They could probably argue for more on lost enrollment or extra costs from no local sports program like traveling out of state. But from what's public, the 566,000 already seems to include some compensation for those harms. And they haven't filed a separate case for it. Their lawyers at ADF might fold it into the ongoing case if the numbers justify it.
Host
All right. I'm sure the ADF knows what they're doing. They don't need my help. Next. Remember this guy? I called it. Remember when he announced his wife committed suicide? I'm telling you, he's involved. Pastor slash husband of Micah Miller. Micah Miller, I don't know. Faces seven years in prison for harassing her prior to her death. I've not read this yet. Myrtle beach pastor John Paul Miller will be in federal court next week for a pretrial conference, according to wpde, following his arrest for harassing and cyber stalking his wife. Why would you cyber stalk your wife when she's right in the house? You can just stalk her. She's like 10ft away. Just follow her around. Adalys gets upset at that. She's like trying to clean. I'm just walking around trying to show her Instagram reels. She's like, stop following me. Before death. Including allegations that he posted nude pictures of her on Facebook in retaliation for ignoring him. We've all done it. We'll all do it again. Miller was granted A continuance after a defense motion with the consent of federal prosecutors, the court found that the delay serves the interests of justice and outweighs the interest in a speedy trial. Miller filed the motion last month requesting more time to review evidence and discuss the case with the government. Miller pleaded not guilty in January to federal charges of cyber stalking and making false statements stemming from the 2024 death of his estranged wife, Mika. I'm going to go with Mika. If found guilty, he faces up to seven years in prison. The story of Mika Miller went viral after we shared a video of her estranged pastor husband, John Paul, announcing her death in a strange way. Yes, it was following the church service two weeks after she filed for divorce. At the time, John Paul preached an entire sermon and then at the very end sprung it on the congregation that his wife died last night by killing herself and then asked the congregation not to talk about it. Yes, it was. That's when you. When I knew he was guilty. Oh, you have it? Do you have this? Okay, a little refresher of the memory. Go ahead.
Pastor Randall
Their phone rings, by the way. They do it 300 years from now. They just do this. Their phone rings and they just put up to their ear, what is it? And it's the answer to their miracle. Whatever. The results to the test came back. We were so sorry, we got it wrong. You don't have cancer or the lottery. You just won the lottery, whatever it is going through. And your relative says, God, this is amazing. Why would you do this for me? And God says, I love you. I didn't do this for you. You see, 300 years ago, your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents were listening to this tall.
Host
Just for the record, that would go way further than 300 years back. Continue charming.
Pastor Randall
Humble them. They'll give that. God won't just take care of them, he'll take care of the ones that come after him. And so I love you, but I didn't heal you for your sake. I did it cuz a promise I made to them 300 years ago. That's what I want you to leave here with.
Investigative Reporter
Okay?
Pastor Randall
That's amen.
Host
Having said that, now, quick announcement.
Pastor Randall
We're not going to do altar call today.
Host
Instead, just want to let you know,
Pastor Randall
instead I'm going to have you stand up and I'm going to make an announcement. And after the announcement, I'm going to ask that you, you leave church quietly and. And don't talk about the announcement here in the building, please. If you Can. So y' all can stand to your feet. Before I make the announcement, I also want to say that my request to you is that you will continue to come to church and serve and give for the next, you know, a little bit. Because I don't want to have. I'm taking a little bit of a break and I don't want to have to worry about the church. My break may be a few days, a few weeks. I don't know.
Host
Seven years.
Pastor Randall
I got a call late last night. My wife has passed away. Yeah. And it was. It was self induced. And it was up in North Carolina.
Host
And I found that odd that he would throw in self induced. You know, it's like nobody's asking. She definitely shot herself. She wasn't shot by someone who looks like me. Continue.
Pastor Randall
I have a funeral for her next Sunday here at 3pm and so I'm. It's all I can. Yeah, I'm just kind of going on adrenaline right now.
Host
So that was also out. If you remember when we did a whole show on this. Adrenaline isn't the right word unless you're the killer. When you hear your wife dies, it doesn't lose adrenaline. It loses whatever the opposite of adrenaline. It makes you sad and want to lay down and cry. Doesn't make you want to like, run 26 miles. Found out my wife died. Won the Boston Marathon. Blew by two Kenyans. Continue.
Pastor Randall
For me and my kids and everybody. And she was. She wasn't. Y' all knew that she wasn't well mentally and that she needed her medicine. That was hard to get to her. And so I'm sure there'll be more details to come.
Host
Yeah.
Pastor Randall
But family in your prayers. And I'm gonna let Pastor Randall, a bishop, he can pray. I get a microphone. He'll pray out. And if you have anything you want to share as well, I appreciate it.
Host
Come on, let's pray. Pause. That's going to be the worst having the mic swung to you of all time. Hey, my wife's dead. Pastor Randall, close us out. How many. How many enjoyed? How many of you mostly were blessed today? Well, let me see how he does. 11 seconds. In the name of Jesus, God, we thank you. We praise you, Lord, for this time. God, we thank you, God, for showing up today. God, even in this service, even as your man servant or undergoing what he's going through, God, you have used him mightily in this day. Oh, God. Continue with the article. So obviously I didn't need to be like Sherlock Holmes to know he was good. You know, we called it back then I think we said allegedly was that the story said allegedly like 91 times to not get sued. But I think now we don't have to say allegedly. This led to worldwide speculation and specific speculation that he may have been involved in unaliving her, but a police investigation concluded that that she acted alone. However, troubling details of their relationship came to light following her.

Prompting the belief that he took advantage of her frail mental health and caused her frail mental health. You know, you post naked pictures of your wife online and she's, you know, she's a pastor. It's not gonna like help her mind. Hey, honey. You seem upset today. What's wrong? Oh, mostly those nude photos you posted of me. That's really what I'm dealing with. Prompting the belief that he took advantage of her frail mental health and and drove her to suicide. Continue. Two weeks before Micah Miller shot herself in the head, she accused her husband, John Paul Miller of posting nudes of herself on Facebook, an act to which he allegedly admitted. What is wrong with you? That's. First of all, you know, the most grievous thing is that's against Facebook terms of service. You should have respect for the community. What the hell's going on out here? Two weeks before before admitted Micah M. Contracted Myrtle Beach Police Department on April 8, alleging that her husband posted a picture of her to a Facebook group. I got to be honest with you, I wasn't aware this group existed. Facebook group called Big Boobs and Nice Curves. Shout out to all the homeschoolers watching today that their parents are quickly ear muffing them. Tagging one of her old accounts which she no longer had access to. According to News Nation, Micah Miller's husband, John Paul Miller admitted an apology letter to posting a topless photo of her online. I'm sorry for putting a picture of you on the Internet. It was for less than one hour. Calm down. I put you up topless. It was like 45 minutes on the Internet. Big deal. BFD. There's no such thing as screenshots or archiving. It was less than an hour and immediately taken down. That's not immediately. I think you should learn what the word immediately uses. If you asked me to leave immediately and I stay for 50 minutes, I didn't leave immediately. I was hurt that you are telling everyone. Oh, he's hurt. I was hurt that you're telling everyone horrible, intimate details of my past. This is his apology. I was hurt.
Tucker Carlson
How?
Host
Boy, you're one psychopath to be able to spin this into you being the victim. Honey. Yes, I did immediately put a picture up of you with your boobies showing. Okay. Without your permission. Yes. On Facebook that has 2 billion users. Guilty as charged. If that's wrong, I don't want to be right. Having said that, I too. I mean, this guy. I too, was hurt that you're telling everyone horrible, intimate details of my past sin, and I just wanted to try to hurt you. Please forgive me. It was evil of me to do that. Yeah. Let's get this guy locked up. A week and a half before she died, Mika sent an affidavit to her attorney about the harassment she was experiencing. That's 10 days before she died. Since the day we became husband and wife, I've been abused in every way I can think of. Dang. Emotionally, sexually, spiritually, financially, and physically. I think that's all the ways he has harassed me physically and electronically with letters, phone calls, emails, and texts. Hacking my emails, hacking my personal Facebook and impersonating. Oh, yeah, on Facebook. I thought he was, like, dressing up in a wig or whatever. Using my stone. Let me personing a dog. Hi, I'm a dose. We can clearly see that's you. Using my stolen text and emails out to church members pretending to be me. This guy's nuts. Allegedly texting friends. Was this the one that I did with Camila? If you can find it. With her saying, allegedly, that was one of the most fun days I've ever had. Texting friends and family, saying, I am sleeping with teenagers from our church. Dang. He texted this guy. And then now look. If you looked at the picture of that church and you're a pastor and you have less people than that, you have reason to contemplate suicide. Because this. This is all going on and they're. They had a good crowd. I mean, good Lord, you Myrtle beach people put up with a lot. I'm sleeping with teenagers from our church. Showing up in person at places around town to having installed three different tracking devices on my vehicle. After her death, the family of Mika sued John Paul for control of her estate, accusing him of causing her death through his coercive control and actions. I believe that Next. New generic ballot poll. Democrats plus 15 at 55%. Republicans 40%. And this is Atlas intel that had like Trump at +5 or Choice +6. This isn't. This is a conservative leaning poll. Biggest lead for Democrats. Trump approvals at minus 20. But he doesn't care because he can't run again. Next. Radcliffe, Kentucky next week. Looking Forward to it. May 18th to the 22nd. Abundant Life Church, Monday to Friday at 7pm Pastors and leaders meeting Thursday and Friday at 10am See you in Radcliffe, Kentucky next week. Next. Mike Pence. I think Republicans ought to do a lot of soul searching. How does this guy think anybody cares what he thinks? Roll the video.

Youth Commentator
10 out of 10 sus. And here's why. You mind if I say why?
Host
I don't mind. So the investigators are now catching up to what Camila was able to immediately ascertain from watching this story with me. If you're thinking to yourself what a terrible father you let a small child do this program with you.
Pastor Randall
Guilty.
Host
But I too am hurt that you would think that. Play from the beginning.
Youth Commentator
10 out of 10 sus. And here's why. You mind if I say why?
Host
I don't mind because. Use the word allegedly from here.
Youth Commentator
Okay. Allegedly. So the reason why is because like allegedly allegedly is so he doesn't take an altar call. And the whole like point of church is like to get like to get people saved at the end of your ministry. He doesn't want to do that because I think allegedly he's trying to cover up the evidence. That way he doesn't seem like he's like allegedly. He doesn't seem like he's sus. So like it's almost like the game among us us where he's trying to
Host
like it's like Real life among us.
Youth Commentator
He's like, guys, I didn't. Like, he's calling an emergency meeting, and all the crew mates are, like, coming, and they're like, guys, I didn't murder anyone. And then they're like, wait a minute. And then they're like. And then he's like, now leave the service. Very quietly. He's trying to hide up that. Allegedly. He's trying to hide up the evidence. And, like, probably. He's probably. He's thinking at home. He's trying to piece it together. Like, how am I going to. How am I going to cover the heck up? Like, this evidence, allegedly. And like, how am I going to cover this up that I allegedly killed the wife? My wife.
Host
You know, it would be kind of weird if you're like, hey, how was your day today? Great. I definitely didn't kill my wife.
Youth Commentator
No one at the church said anything.
Investigative Reporter
Yeah.
Host
Hey, how are you, Pastor? Good. Not good. Didn't kill my wife.
Youth Commentator
I didn't kill her, I swear.
Host
Hey, my wife killed herself today. And she definitely killed herself. The police said it was definitely her and not me. Finish it out.
Pastor Randall
Great. She was. She wasn't. Y' all knew that she wasn't well mentally and that she needed her medicine. That was hard to get to her.
Host
So why was the medicine hard to get to? Where is she? Central Africa. Republic. She on a mountain in Tibet. She's in North Carolina. Why is her medication hard to get to her? She was in a fortress. She was in the Fortress of solitude, and the drawbridge was broken, and we couldn't get her medicine to her.
Youth Commentator
Oh, my gosh.
Host
Finish it out.
Pastor Randall
I'm sure there'll be more details to come, but just keep our family prayers.
Host
For your sake. I hope there's not more details to come, Mr. Pastor suspicious.
Youth Commentator
I have another thing. Go on that I'm piece of sing together. I'm so sorry. It's just.
Host
No, just remember to use the A word.
Youth Commentator
Okay. Allegedly. So me piecing the information together, like, I don't know, like, what type of allegedly. I don't know, like, what type of like, church it is.
Pastor Randall
Right.
Youth Commentator
But, I mean, I would be surprised if he was like a faith pastor like you are.
Host
But, like, why do you say that?
Youth Commentator
Because, like, he's not really, like, forget the A word. Allegedly, he's not really believing, but it's like. Like, he's like, keep.
Host
At least give it a shot to try to raise her from the dead. Right?
Youth Commentator
Yeah. And he's like, allegedly. He's saying, like, keep us in prayer when like he probably prays for other people. Like just move on.
Host
He's giving you non faith vibes and
Youth Commentator
you're also like just leaving the church. Like Sunday is like God's holy day and you are going to spend some time piecing it out on the couch. Watching freaking Netflix while eating.
Host
Popping harsh towards this. Let's remember this man just lost his wife whether it was him or not.
Youth Commentator
But allegedly. But yet again, he's also taking away time from God's day. You don't quit piecing it together.
Host
Yeah, you got it. You gotta tough it out. Let me just say I don't know how I lived before you were born. You have made my life so much better.
Youth Commentator
Thank you.
Host
I love you with all my heart.
Youth Commentator
Thank you. Me too.
Host
You're a great kid and that's absolutely the truth. That's probably the best. Not, I don't know. You know, I haven't met all 8 billion people. I've not met anybody close to Camila. It's just the absolute best. Next. Hope you enjoyed that. He did such a bad job that an 11 year old felt he was guilty immediately. Democrat presidential poll from Atlas intel who's very accurate. AOC takes the lead on yes, there's an actual gay politician named Booty Judge and Newsom dropping next. I can't see Kamala Harris. Like if she runs, somebody's like forcing her to run. She was out of gas.
