EXCLUSIVE: The left is ‘funneling money to what look like Christian organizations’ to ‘move Christians on policy’


Jack Posobiec hosted Christian author Megan Basham on Monday’s episode of Human Events Daily to break down numbers and statistics surrounding the Christian vote in the United States ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Basham authored the newly released book Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda.

Posobiec noted how he has attended various Catholic masses over the weekend, one of which had a priest tell his congregation they should not support either presidential candidate in November. He said that while one is radically pro-abortion, alluding to Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, the other is a “very flawed candidate,” alluding to GOP nominee and former president Donald Trump. When the future of Christian and Catholic churches is at stake at the hands of Merrick Garland, the host can not comprehend why any priest would have this stance.

Basham responded with a shocking statistic that over 100 million Christians are planning to sit out this election and 32 million of those are regular churchgoers, research that was reported by George Barna.

“They’re very motivated, typically, to participate in the political process, and they are now saying that they’re not going to vote, that they’re going to sit out. And that is a really big problem,” she stated, adding that “[Barna] actually said this is showing that their enthusiasm is down from 2020 and part of why that is is he found that 36 percent of churches have not taught anything on the civic duty of a Christian to get involved in the political process.”

The pair talked about how abortion has been a contentious topic within the Republican Party and that while pro-lifers would love to see Donald Trump promise a federal abortion ban which he will not do, the other side of the aisle would be much worse, allowing abortions up until birth and “promising that they’re going to make it so we cannot pass any pro-life policies in any state.”

Basham also revealed that left-wing secular foundations have been “funneling money into Christian organizations to push this messaging that it’s political idolatry to be involved in the political process.” Many of these foundations fund organizations like Planned Parenthood and sex change surgeries for minors. This is a topic Basham writes about extensively in Shepherds for Sale.

“So I went really deep in how these left-wing organizations are funneling money to what look like conservative Christian organizations in order to move Christians on policy because they understand that Christians are the group that are responsible for deciding what so many of our policies are in the country that they are not going to get their agenda passed without the buy in of those religious Americans,” Basham concluded.

Dave Smith: Will Trump Be Able To End The War In Ukraine?

Dave Smith: Will Trump Be Able To End The War In Ukraine?

At a recent pre-election speaking and podcast event, comedian and Libertarian political commentator Dave Smith expressed his view that it is very realistic that the next President Donald Trump could successfully negotiate an end to the Ukraine war

Smith’s view is optimistic, as he articulated that he believes Trump’s expressed desire to end wars in Ukraine and Gaza is genuine. But Smith also laid out that much depends on who Trump puts around him in top national security positions. Below is the hard-hitting segment featuring the prominent commentator addressing the question: will Trump be able to end the war in Ukraine?

Below are Dave Smith’s words from the segment on Trump and Ukraine below [emphasis ZH]…

“Why the hell are we even expanding our military alliance to Ukraine? And listen, Donald Trump always says that the war ‘never would have happened if I was president, and I would negotiate an end to this.’

And I gotta say I think he’s right about that. I don’t think the war would have happened if he was president – I think he will negotiate an end to it.

I don’t think he’s right that Hamas wouldn’t have attacked Israel if he was president – that seems kind of ridiculous to me. But he’s right: the Ukraine war could be over tomorrow if American wanted to negotiated a peace to it.

Vladimir Putin has been trying to the entire time… 

Well the question becomes who does Donald Trump put around him? If Donald Trump puts Mike Pompeo, aka Liz Cheney’s pick for Defense Secretary… if he puts John Bolton, aka Hillary Clinton’s pick for national security adviser – then maybe not, maybe it doesn’t happen.

But if he listens to Tucker Carlson, and ‘Bobby’ Kennedy, and Vivek Ramaswamy, and all the smart people around him – then yes, he could negotiate an end to that war.”

Indeed, the question ultimately becomes: will Trump really keep the ‘swamp’ out of his administration this time around? We hope so.
