    Steven Anderson Wants God to Kill His Own Children

    - Jack Posobiec told Piers Morgan on live television he never promoted Pizzagate, so we pulled his own old footage where he says Comet Ping Pong had kids trafficked in a secret back room, plus the tweet he sent days before an armed man stormed the restaurant with an AR-15. His words, his tape, his lie. - Steven Anderson's own adult children, Miriam, Isaac, Solomon, and John, say their father beat them and their mother with extension cords, paddles, and chairs and called it biblical discipline. We play his sermon where he tells God to kill them unless they publicly recant, and we go through why longtime allies inside his own IFB network are finally breaking away. 🔥 Support the Show: Become a Patreon Member: https://owenmorgan.com/patreon Read my books: 📖 God's People: Christian Nationalism in the Third Reich https://owenmorgan.com/godspeople 📖 Understanding Jehovah''s Witnesses: https://owenmorgan.com/ujw 🎥 Watch on YouTube: Telltale: https://www.youtube.com/@owenmorgantelltale Telltale Fireside Chat: https://www.youtube.com/@telltalefiresidechat Telltale Unfiltered: https://www.youtube.com/@telltaleunfiltered Pixel Dreams: https://www.youtube.com/@owenpixeldreams Twitch: https://owenmorgan.com/twitch Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/owen-morgan-s-fireside-chat--6201320/support.

    The FBI Raided Greg Locke's Home Over Alleged Financial Malfeasance

    0:00 - Greg Locke's home raided by FBI and IRS agents revealed 1:04 - Details on son's overdose death and prior house shooting cover-up 3:23 - Church background, social media following, and mass deliverance ministry 4:01 - Locke's book-burning events and YouTube account termination 6:02 - Locke defends burnings, compares critics to Taliban persecution claims 7:14 - Gay counter-protester burns a Bible at Locke's event 9:19 - Book exposing Locke's alleged financial mismanagement by ex-pastors 12:23 - Analyzing Locke's rebuttal about the house purchase controversy 13:46 - Locke's church sermon begins addressing the raid directly 17:02 - Locke describes dramatic raid: agents, guns, and family treatment 20:09 - Locke recounts search warrants, seized devices, and sheriff's favoritism 25:37 - Investigation scope expands: years of records, subpoenas issued 28:55 - Analyzing Locke's 2022 claim of dissolving church's tax-exempt status 32:02 - Discussion of Locke's adoption agency and political motivations 33:40 - Locke claims innocence, deflects blame onto investigators and haters 39:04 - Critique of tax-exempt status abuse and church's lack of public benefit 45:48 - Bank accounts frozen, church left without income or payment options 47:04 - Skepticism grows: banks don't freeze accounts without cause 52:04 - Comparison to Kenneth Copeland's pandemic-era tithing manipulation 55:34 - Locke solicits donations despite likely having substantial personal wealth 59:35 - Locke closes with Moses analogy, calls congregation to worship and give Greg Locke says the FBI raided his home over financial mismanagement. The truth is worse: agents were investigating alleged financial malfeasance, and records show his megachurch bought him a $1.6 million house while the church itself doesn't own a building. We go through Locke's July 12th sermon line by line - the tears, the claims of persecution, the sixty federal agents, the canceled bank accounts - and check every detail against the public record. We trace his 2022 claim that he 'dissolved' his church's 501c3 tax-exempt status, which state filings show he never actually did, and revisit the time he blamed a shooting at his house on Christian persecution when it was actually his son's drug dealer. We also break down why a pastor with a 2.2 million-follower platform and monetized media is still telling his congregation to give more. This is Global Vision Bible Church in Wilson County, Tennessee - book burnings, mass deliverance services, and now a federal investigation reaching back to 2020. If you've ever wondered how a church avoids taxes while its pastor lives large, this episode walks through exactly how it works and where Greg Locke's own story stops adding up.

    A Church Made Kids Chant 'Blow Him Up' at a Mock Execution

    A Kentucky church staged a mock firing squad execution in front of children at Vacation Bible School and the pastor says he's 'befuddled' by the backlash. We break down exactly why that defense fails. Then: Pastor Tony Spell, the COVID-defying Louisiana preacher who packed his church while morgues filled up, attempted to run over a protester with a church bus, got arrested for felony battery after beating a 20-year-old neighbor, and was caught on body camera harassing the victim's father from a lawn mower less than two days later. Spell built his brand on free speech and religious freedom. He then physically attacked a man for exercising that same free speech on his own property. We walk through the body cam footage, the legal exposure, and the pattern of behavior that defines Spell's ministry. We also examine what the Vacation Bible School firing squad stunt actually models for developing minds, and why the pastor's 32-year-tradition defense makes the case against him, not for him.

    Trump's Iran Deal Pays Out More Than Obama's — MAGA Is Furious

    Kunneman claims God told him on 9/11 that a man from New York City would rise with Solomon-like wisdom — and he's retroactively pinning that on Trump. This episode tears that apart claim by claim. We also fact-check the MAGA forum panic over the Iran peace deal, where the $300 billion reparations figure circulating on Patriots.win turns out to have zero credible sourcing — the actual number is $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets being released, which is still more than the $3 billion Obama-era release that MAGA spent years condemning. Hank Kunneman prophesied Trump would win in 2020, was wrong, never properly accounted for it, and now hides behind the convenient excuse that prophecies are conditional on human free will. We follow the logic of that excuse to its embarrassing conclusion. Plus: Christian nationalism dressed up as biblical history, AI compared to the Tower of Babel, and a guest who thinks Pol Pot is a relevant argument against food stamps.

    1 Jehovah's Witnesses' TikTok PR Campaign Is Built on Lies About Who They Are

    Jehovah's Witnesses are running a slick TikTok campaign claiming members are your doctors and lawyers — while the organization effectively bans higher education. This episode tears apart that PR campaign claim by claim. Then: a licensed psychiatrist is pushing to add Trump Derangement Syndrome to the DSM, arguing women who dislike Trump just hate men. The APA will never approve it, but the fact that a credentialed doctor is pitching this is worth examining. Oklahoma Christian nationalist Dusty Devers just lost his election — we break down exactly what voters rejected: no-fault divorce bans, IVF framed as mass murder, and Biblical law placed above the Constitution. Plus, the Mormon Church is suing podcaster John Dehlin over the word Mormon — a term the Church itself has been discouraging for years. And Maine GOP candidate Bobby Charles repeats the debunked litter boxes in classrooms story while promising to personally counsel women out of abortions. Every claim gets checked.

    The JW Shunning Lie: How a 2002 Watchtower Contradicts Their Legal Defense

    Jehovah's Witnesses just won court rulings in Norway and Sweden by arguing their shunning practices don't coerce members. A 2002 Watchtower article still live on their own website says otherwise. This episode tears apart the legal strategy, the scriptural justification, and the organizational spin in the latest Governing Body Update. We trace the disfellowshipping doctrine back to its actual origin in 1952 — no biblical mandate, just a policy decision — and read the Watchtower's own instructions for how members should treat shunned relatives. We also cover a Christian nationalist figure who called Black culture murderous and evil at a conference where neo-Nazi vendors were distributing flyers, and whose response focused more on tarot cards than the actual white supremacist material. The JW legal victories in Scandinavia are being framed as religious freedom wins. What they actually secured is continued government funding for a group that systematically cuts members off from their families for leaving.

    Lance Wallnau Prays to Cardboard Cutouts of Trump and Elon Musk

    Pastor Lance Wallnau prays over life-size cardboard cutouts of Trump, Elon Musk, and Mike Lindell, claiming Trump has a divine 'Cyrus anointing.' We examine Wallnau's bizarre shrine, Michelle Bachmann's push for Trump to attack Iran before midterms to trigger the rapture, and Indiana candidate Micah Beckwith calling the firing squad a 'blessing' that leads to salvation. Plus: a former MAGA member describes his seven-year journey inside the movement and why COVID deaths in Florida finally broke the spell. We trace the Christian nationalist belief that only Christians should hold office, fact-check claims about Trump 'leading from a biblical perspective,' and expose how end-times theology is driving real foreign policy. Candace Taylor claimed God ordained her congressional run—she got 12% in the primary. Every claim sourced, every quote verified.

    Colorado Clerk Gave Voting System Access to Extremists

    Tina Peters gave her county clerk credentials to right-wing extremists who stole voter data and handed it to Mike Lindell. She was convicted of election tampering and sentenced to 9 years—not for giving a false name during COVID, as her defenders claim. This episode traces every claim made by Alex Jones and Peters' legal team, fact-checks the election fraud narrative, and explains exactly what federal law she violated. We cover the illegal data sharing, the bogus "92,000 deleted files" claim, why physical ballot recounts prove the machines weren't tampered with, and how her supporters are rewriting her crimes as heroism. Plus: a mega church pastor in West Virginia told a teenager to literally eat Bible pages to receive God's power, complete with instructions to consume chapters from 10 different translations. We examine the health risks of consuming paper, ink, and mineral fillers not meant for human consumption.
