Victor Marx on How Big Tech & Artificial Intelligence Influence Child Predators | SRS #83

Previously on the Shawn Ryan Show. I said, "This is going to sound odd.". But I said, "I used to live here.". She goes, "You did?". She goes, "Who was your dad?". And I told her. She goes, "My stepfather.". She said, "I bought this house from. him.". And now we're just standing there. It's. awkward. And she goes,

"Bad things happened here, didn't they, son?". He put me in a vehicle. and drove me to an abandoned house. When. we walked in, there was another fellow. There was a hole. cut through the wood floor. And then a dirt hole. I was 7 years old. People who don't. understand it, you don't run. You don't tell. And I'm looking at the. hole. And trust me, enough stuff had. happened where I thought, "This is the.

day he's just going to kill me.". With everything you've been through as a. child, when did. God come into your life? You guys are. saving kids all over the world now. Yeah. You know, what just this morning I. we were talking about you or are going. into. ISIS. Islamic State territory. Yeah. And.

saving kids. You know, and so how did it develop uh. from a. maybe not from, maybe in addition to a. ministry. Yep. How did it come from being. a ministry for kids in prison to. going overseas. in Iraq Syria, wherever you go. Yeah. How many places have you gone? How many. How many countries? Gosh.

I think. I'm out Actually, I've never counted. But I was kind of looking at it. We're probably. 30 countries? 30 countries? Yeah. Can you rattle a couple off? Uh. yeah, from Iraq, doing work in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria. to. um. the Palestinian controlled areas.

to the. Far East and. um. Burma. Myanmar. you know, Thailand, Cambodia. um. the US everywhere. but then Mexico, Panama, Guatemala. Latin America. Yeah. Colombia. Um. and there are there definitely other. places that we're um. Tunisia, Northern Africa.

Southern Africa I mean, there's a lot. And it's like we we've never really. paused. We keep analytics and you know, what are. our what are our outcomes cuz impacts. matter, but outcomes. But we've just. um and we had somebody tell us, you. know, a couple years ago it's like, "Do. y'all celebrate your wins?". I'm like, "Yeah, by going after another one.". Yeah, we don't our tempo, we don't need.

to pause for. however long and just kind of. cuz there's more. There's always more. You know, I don't think anybody that's. doing things for a higher purpose. celebrates their wins. The only people I. see celebrating their wins are athletes, which is essentially for nothing. Yeah. It's entertainment. Yeah. Yeah, I mean and. and you know transparent. personally.

I don't even focus on. the kids we've helped. I just I think about the ones we we. didn't. There's no time for celebrating when the. shit's for real. Man, that that's bored. people or funky organizations. You know, it's like I don't How do you. all have time to. do all that? I mean, I'll give you a. perfect. example. I mean, last month. we have some guests come to the training.

center. They pull up their fifth wheel. They do marriage stuff. And we're. visiting with them. They're going to. stay. you know a week. And uh. you know, they see me out in the yard. with my dogs or drinking coffee on the. deck. And And then I I go up to them one. one afternoon. I said, "Hey, I just need. to let y'all know. Eileen and I, we have to go somewhere. for. a couple of days. Uh we'll be back. Just. help yourselves out and stuff,

whatever.". And then um we come back. And then we're talking to them. And. they're like, uh cuz they were on the podcast. And. they go, "Can we just say something?" I. said, "Sure." They go, They go, "Hey, folks. Maybe sometime you think what's being. posted or on their website is. sensationalized." They go, "Cuz it doesn't sound real sometimes. And it makes you She goes, "We're here.

visiting with them. And they tell us they have to go do. something. They'll be back in a couple. of few days. They leave the country. They go rescue a girl. They bring her. back. And she's here. in their safe house on the property. We just met her. And they're like, "You. And it was just you two. None of your. other team got involved." I said, "Well, we had a we had a jet waiting.".

You know, and and you know, teams set up. stuff, but it was a two-person team. It's it's we it was the best fit for us. to go. And they're just like, "Y'all act. like this is normal, like nothing. You. just went grocery shopping and you're. back.". There's no I go, And I mean, my wife were. we're going. uh. Is it that normal to us? Um. And even a couple of our staff were. laughing. They're like, "Yeah, this is.

this is their norm. They don't go, woo. yeah yeah.". It's like, "Okay, now next step." And. it's part of our life. It's part of our. tempo. But. um and there's more coming. Man. Let's go through Let's get specific. because I don't you're not conveying. the danger. and the. sacrifice and the horrific stuff that.

you're witnessing. I want to bring that. out. Mhm. So let's let's go into. let's just talk about some of the safe. houses and some of the stuff that you've. seen when saving kids from. ISIS prison camps. Yeah. Well. about the whole mission planning cycle. Like what is it what is step one? Where. do you get your intelligence from? We. have an incredible network. I'll say.

that first and foremost. It's like any. intelligence group. It's a network. And. it's trusted. And. we're it's very accurate. Um. Give an example. There was a gentleman in Iraq that. wanted to meet with me. Um. he he is an influencer to about 300. million Muslims. Um we call him the professor. And uh. there were people on lead agencies.

The. And. all the top eights said, "No one can get a meeting with this guy. He wants to meet with you.". And I said, "I ain't the guy.". You know, and just so people know, we've. never taken any money or resources. from our government or any government. Have we relayed information that helped. in certain situations? Absolutely.

And um. you know, have they helped us? I'll give you a great example. So this. guy. he wants to meet with me. I said, "Why. does he want to meet with me?". Um. they said, "He's watched you for 2. years. And he says you actually care about the. kids.". And this guy, al-Baghdadi, asked him to. be their spiritual leader.

So maybe that's going to put in. perspective for some people. Um. but no one could get a meeting with. them. And. he's from Fallujah. And he you know uh super influential. So we flew in it was a 72-hour mission. Wheels down and up, 72 hours out of the. country. And um. and I. um. we had to be our own QRF. We have to be.

our own medics. We we're we're totally. self-contained, which means if things go. sideways. we will not rely on anybody to get us. And we we wouldn't put anybody in harm's. way. How many how many guys are on How many. people. are on a team with you? It depends on. what's specific to the mission. Okay. Um. we've done two to 20. Okay. Uh and.

but again, layered and redundancy for. who, what, when, how. And um our head of. security um. Iraqi when we're there and but also. works with FBI. agency work and he's never charged me a. penny. Never at I've offered he's like, "No. way.". And he actually became American citizen. Uh Esquire magazine did an article on. him. Said he was the most wanted man by.

terrorists in the world. So kept his face and name out of it. And he was with the unit for a long. time. And he still does stuff. Um So as a. matter of fact, I'm looking at you know, just a. a side note. When we started going over there and. hammering it out cuz we um in the last 8. years been there 17 times. So 17 pumps. into. wherever for whatever we're doing. Uh.

over 100 missions complete. Uh with. trauma care help over 45,000 women and. children. Wow. Yeah. Wow. And right into ISIS confinement. camps. Uh Al-Hawl with my wife. leading a team in. Um. but our head of security. uh he. he. the stuff we were doing. he was blown away especially cuz he.

helped set up that meeting with the. professor. And he he goes, "Victor, I want you to. have this.". And he wanted to give me Osama Akawi's. AK. that they pulled off of him out of you. know, when he got his feelings hurt. And he goes, "This is mine but I want. you to have it. because you're here. doing this stuff." And I was like, "Thank you. I'm honored." I said, "But. I've got my own. I it's tricked out to. me and I'm thinking that thing may have. some juju on it, man. I'm not.

And he goes, "But well, let me at least. give you drums.". And I said, "Why drums?" He goes, "Don't. ever. Don't ever underestimate. the power of just force and loud." He. goes, "ISIS hates loud." We're laughing. But um. we we kind of downplay always. um. the risk although we ask for prayers. But we don't expect people to understand.

what we've done. or what we do. Um. because. I I mean, can you. they don't have a basis for it. That's. why I'm trying to draw it out of you. Yeah. They need to hear it. Yeah. So. what compels us is the love for kids. And this professor met with us. And. you know, the first question I asked him. we're sitting down like this. And.

he you know, I. had and we're I'm using a turp and I. said. he was with Delta. And I said, um. ask him if he wants to cut my head off. And I mean, this is right when people. are watching on TV. He goes, "Boss, I don't think that's a. good idea." I said, "Ask him." He goes. and he wants security guys and some guys. you may know cuz they were part of. stuff. They're like, "Oh, no. He's going to get us killed.". But that's really I I said, "I have to.

be authentic to who I am. And if God. called me to meet this guy, I want So he. asked him. He starts laughing. He's like, "Why would Why would I want. to cut your head off? You're my guest. I'm bringing you here." And that's when. he narrated, "We've watched you for 2. years. You care about our children. You're not here for military gain, oil, money. But you have a pure mission." So. he goes, "I'm here to help you. How can I help you?".

And I was like, "Wow.". I said, "Well, you can teach me about. Islam. I don't understand the customs of. what He says, "Have you ever been to um. a mosque. for worship?" I said, "No." He said, "Let's go tonight.". And we left that secure place where we. were. Went into a mosque, huge. And. uh and he was like, "You really believe. what you believe?". I said, "Yeah." He goes, "You're what we.

call a man of the book.". And um. I said, "Well, I just try to live my. faith best I can.". Do you know because of that act of faith. and trusting him knowing yeah, we could. get smoked, wrapped up like that. There's no. there's no way we could withstand. any type of coordinated attack and. um. they're going to get us. He took me to an abandoned place where. Christians This is when ISIS had just.

hit. When Christians had fled Qaraqosh. Hamdaniya. and and he brings me there the next day. with my team. He goes, "These are. Christians. These are your people. Help them.". He goes cuz this is wrong. I'm like, I. I will help them. We end up getting all. of them out of the country. Remember all those life insurance ads on. the TV and on the radio when you were a.

How many of them were there? Guys, there.

was like 40. five in that group. And it's. as you well know, that's not a small. thing. to move people to a different country to. get them safe and away. Um. and I mean, there were families and. kids, tons of children. And then he was that built a. relationship with us. He was like, "You you really do care.". And I said, "Of course." And it's not. just Christian kids.

It's Muslim children. It's kids of ISIS. I will never not help a kid. Um. Yazidis, Kurds, it doesn't matter. I said, "Children always are the one that pay. the biggest price. for. adults' mistakes.". So. and I've I I don't think I've ever said. this but I'm I'm going to say it.

We have We had many meetings. Many times I've gone we're meeting and. you know, we were sitting having tea one time and. he goes, "Victor. uh you know, the name he'd call me. He. goes, "Uh. I'd like to tell you something.". I said, "Oh, okay, Professor." He leans. forward. I lean forward. He goes, "Would you like to know where an ISIS. training camp is? A Daesh training. camp?".

I paused and I said, "If you tell me this, what do you want me to do with that. information? Cuz that's going to determine if I want. to hear it or not.". And he goes, "Kill them. Kill all of them.". I said, "So help me understand this. I know you rejected them wanting you to.

lead them spiritually. I I know how bad. that is." I said, "But now you want. a training camp and these guys be wiped. out?". He said, "Yes." I said, "Why?" He goes, "Because they're a virus. They are a virus even to Muslims.". And he goes, "I I have the coordinates. and it's active right now. I said, "Well, I've got friends that are.

very good at what they do. I'm sure we can. take care of that.". And we did. And. so there's been a number of things like. that happen where. um. How did it get taken care of? Uh the information went. to another group. that um. the US organized a strike. Yep. Um there was another time I got a call.

and I'm like. it's from a friend of mine, Dave Eubank. And if you've never heard or met Dave. Eubank, I would tell people watch their. movie. It's a documentary. You can. stream it tonight. And it's called Free. Burma Rangers. And if you want to see what we were. involved in, that is the documentary to. watch. And although it's about Dave and his. team. of high-risk missionaries and his. family, um.

I brought Dave in. and then funded and equipped and you. know, he's it's unreal. It's. to me it's it's a beautiful depiction of. Christian faith. in in on the front lines, behind the. lines. of of courage and sacrifice. And um. so. uh. you know, with Dave, he he he calls me.

and he's like, "Help. We need help.". I said, "Where are y'all?" They were on. a front line getting women and children. out of a position. And he goes, "We just we just got. attacked by ISIS.". And he was with. at the time Peshmerga. And no Americans. It's just them doing. this. And I said, you know, "How many. are there?" He goes, I. He goes, "I'm I'm guessing 70." He says,

"It's It's a bunch.". He said, "They're. cuz you know, they would come in trucks, offload, and just. He goes, "We can't He goes, I I don't. think we can withstand them. We can't. repel them.". Um He goes, "Do you still have uh we. call a bat number?". I said, "I I do.". And. he sent me like a good SF guy, cuz he. was. uh he was a. first Special Forces Group and.

uh when he was in. And uh. um but. he sent me everything. Topography, location, blah blah, everything. And so I made a call, forwarded that. And. he said it was He said the heat from the. strike was so hot, they're laying down. on the side of the trench, cuz the. trench work. And he said that they. they they toasted them, all of them.

And he goes, "I can't believe how. He just goes, "Actually, I can't believe. how hot it was.". And um. so there there've been decisions I made. that that changed. the course of things in certain. situations. And um. there've been times bad guys were. shooting at us and in. an appropriate self-defense manner, we. would shoot back. Um I was never there to kick in doors.

or hunt ISIS. It's not my goal. But we had our rules of engagement of. what we felt was appropriate. And um decisions we would make that. um helped protect children and women. And. you know, um I've prayed I've prayed for an ISIS. fighter. that got captured one night. And that was that was one of my wildest.

experiences, I think, dealing with ISIS. face-to-face. Cuz he sensed up and he's on his and. he's sitting legs crossed. And. um. you know, I start talking to him. Just, "Hey man, tell me about yourself." And. he ended up being a a commander of the. area. He was actually well-known. And we were going in. It was late. And. it was a after midnight we're going to I. think pick up a kid. out of Mosul. So we're in a.

a staging area. It's a. forward fob for Iraqis. And we were in a. house. That's the fob. And um. this guy, I talked to him about his. family. I talked to him about his kids. And. and then I said, "You know, why'd you. join ISIS?". He said, "Pressure.". He said, "My brother joined. And what am I going to do as as part of. the tribe? Stay and not come fight?" And. he said, "I'm I said, "Okay." I said,

"What What would you want me to tell. young men that have been radicalized?". I. And still to this day it shocked me what. he said. He goes, "Tell them don't come to the evil. darkness. Tell them don't come.". I'm like, "Wow.". We talked about some other things. And. then. What else did you talk about? Talked about life and death. Um.

his children, his wife. I said, "You know, you're not going to. probably live much longer.". He says, "Inshallah." People must. understand uh we were in bed with. Iraqis. And their justice system there. is, you know, 22 cent. round. There's no. when you're in combat and heat and. stuff's happening, it's unless a person. really warrants it, they. you know, just.

put the lights out on people. So I. I told him I said, "You know, can I pray. for your family?". He said, "Please.". Prayed for his family. I said, "What's going to happen to you. when you die?". He says, "Inshallah.". I said, "Do you mind if I share with you what I. consider my. security of salvation when I die?" He. goes, "No, go ahead.". And then I shared the gospel. I shared.

the cross, what Jesus did. And how he's the one that can forgive. and pardon anyone of our sins. And I explained the thieves on the. cross. Uh you know, they were criminals. And. one of them wanted to enter into. paradise Christ way, not through a false. way of. you know, killing and. and I said, "Do you want to know you. have that. assurance of.

life after death?" He goes, "Yes.". I said, "Do you want to pray with me to receive. Christ?". He's like, "Yes.". It's an ISIS fighter. And I mean, it. I'm I'm literally stunned this is. happening. So he starts praying to. receive Christ. And right at the end, I'll show you a picture of him. Right at the end, I said, "In Jesus' name." And he. stopped. And he shook his head, "No.".

I mean, it was out of nowhere. Just, "No." And I literally saw evil come upon. this man. Like an evil entity come upon. him. And just like that, he broke out of. his hand ties. His face contorted and. his ears pinched up like a like a troll. or something. And my dog was right next to him. And she went for his throat. I'm like, "No!" I'm like, "Oh my gosh.".

I got her. And. I mean, I I was shocked. I was like, "Wait a minute. I'm just finishing. prayer." And Hassan, who's my personal. security when we travel. overseas, uh he you know, he's jumping up. He's. got his gun. And the Iraqis all just. come over and tie him up again. And I'm just praying like, "Lord, what. just happened?" And all of a sudden, this evil leaves him.

And his face stops being contorted and. it gets smooth. I'm like, "Do you know what just happened?". He was like embarrassed. Yeah. I said, "That's that's not human.". He was like, I was like, "My gosh, man." And I told. him, "Well, look, there's no way that. God brought me from America here. and then on a mission into Mosul. tonight. There's fighting everywhere.

And I just explained the gospel for you. that you would reject him.". And I just said, "You can call out to Jesus. before you die. And he'll save you. I truly believe. that. But it has to be from your heart.". And he said, "Thank you.". And they took him away. And uh. Hassan, he's he's quite the character. I. mean, like, you know, typical Iraqi. Dyes his beard. You know, and he's just.

like this. sunglass cool hand Luke. But he used to. be the personal security for a Minister. of Finance. And his brother was killed. in an IED. Uh uh. uh Abu Ibrahim al-Raqqawi. And they were both security. And then he. worked for the unit and. so he's got a ton of experience. But he. looks at me, he goes, "Boss, I'm very sorry." He goes, "I seen. the evil coming and. I goes, I was going to shoot him in the. face,

but I'm wait cuz you were saying the. very nice things to him.". And I'm like, "Thanks for not shooting him in the face. while I'm praying. That would like be. the worst.". Uh you know, hey poof. Hassan, no. You got to wait. Uh but that's, you know, that's how. Iraqis are. Yeah, I'm just like, "Oh, death comes to us all.". So, yeah, it's um. we still have a house there, Sean.

What kind of stuff is happening to these. kids? Um. we always try to find family. Tribal family's the best way. You can't. adopt kids out of Iraq. You can't adopt. a kid if you're not Muslim. There prohibitions to all that. Um. many are still in camps. Um and it's going to turn into a. generational stuff like Palestine, where they'll be perpetual victims.

Um. and it's very sad what happened. Um and it could have been stopped a lot. sooner. Um. but there's always. I mean, if governments can benefit from war, they will. And they'll even sacrifice their own. people. I think we've all figured that out. Yeah. Especially this country. Yeah. What I meant was what's happening to. those kids before you get there?

Depends on. where. what time frame what's going on. Everything from. they're hiding with their parents and. then parents are murdered. Um. to. um they've been abducted. by ISIS. Bad things happen. Things that.

people don't. they don't need to know. They don't want. to know. And. I remember I kept one video of a kid. It it it got sent to me in an area that. we were working. And uh. ISIS killed the parents. And this little baby. this little toddler. they left him by a a garbage can. And he's covered with flies. He's got a. diaper that's, you know, old.

And people look at this video. and you think you're looking at a dead. baby. And then it moves. And then you hear ISIS fighters. laughing. And. kids have seen the worst. They've seen. their parents beheaded, shot. They watch other kids get burned alive. on. in fires or one case it was a. like an outdoor oven.

just to reinforce fear. Um the last girl we had in our house had. been held captive for 7 years. And um. she was a sex slave. So, we. Here's what's amazing about the. resilience of. kids. She's she's sitting in our living. room.

at our house in Iraq our. safe house and she's smiling. I'm like, "Why are you smiling?" She. goes, "I'm free.". She's got a broken nose, her back is. busted. And she's like, "I'm I'm free. And y'all are helping me. No one else is.". And. um. Rosa. cuz we give them all names. We reunited.

nine mothers with 12 children. Um they had separated ISIS had separated. the moms for sex slaves. and then the children were somewhere. else. And um. we got them together for the first time. They. and they all stayed at our house. And um. but. probably the hardest situation. we have ongoing cases, individual, hard. to reach.

We, you know, we made a promise we would. never stop searching for girls who are. still being held. And we never publicly make stuff known. But. there's a girl we've been looking for. for 3 years and we found her. She's been held. when we started looking for her, she had. already been held for 2 years. So, 6. years. And my team goes.

they call and they like, "Boss, we found. her.". She's such a high value target within. the organization of ISIS that they put. out a full story in a Turkish newspaper. that said her name and that she had been. rescued. And it's complete false. Why is she such a target? Why is she so important to them? Well, she's the last Christian girl.

that was kidnapped. And they brainwashed her so good. She's recruiting girls. to to be vest, you know, suicide. And Suicide bombers. Yeah. She's so good. at recruiting. And. my guys, they. they call me one time.

And now it's like not long ago. And they're like, "We found her. We've got eyes on her. We've been. monitoring.". I said, "What's the risk assessment to. get her?" They go, "Bloody. We can do. it.". And I said, you know, what type of casualties, a loss of life. And they go, you know, it's it's going. to be. it's going to be bloody. There's. And then he goes, "Do you want my opinion?". And I need people to understand this.

This is this is not American guy. talking. They're indigent. Uh. he said he goes, "Let me kill her.". He says it's better for everybody. Including her.

So, I prayed. I told him I said, you know, uh uh. I can't say yes to that or. I still there's hope. And then they moved her.

And we know where she is right now. And um. we actually. got a video for her mom from her mom. begging her to please come. And. um. this is the type that requires prayer. Because even if you get them out. it.

some people are so damaged. emotionally. it's it's it's tough. They so identify. with what they've been brainwashed by. So, you know, again. the normal. people and. even Christians, they don't understand. how. nasty and dark. this world is. and what we deal with.

And. decisions you have to make. And. you know, our goal is always to set the. captive free physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And that's just the Middle East. Every country, every region. has its own. rules. And um. you know, um.

it's it's ugly. It's an ugly ministry. that's needed. And um. we're all about, again, setting captives. free physically, when they need it, emotionally, and spiritually. Um but that. that um that's caused a lot of people to. not like my wife and I. And um.

we don't care. That's our job. Like my wife said, my wife said as we're about to. pump into a. really bad. situation. I mean, look at me and goes, "What's the. worst that can happen? We die?". I'm like, "Yeah, death.". She goes, "But then, don't we win, honey? Cuz we're going to heaven.". I'm like, "Dang.

You really believe in this stuff like. at a whole different level? I mean, I. believe when we're done with it, but I. you know, I'm looking I'm looking. forward to the great grandpa death. Ponds, kids, you know. I and my wife is like, "We follow God's will. And if we die, it's his. it's his will, not man's.". Cuz she literally believes it doesn't. matter how many times were One day, I.

counted 30 mortars shot at us. And I'll move it. Move it. I stopped counting at 30. Uh. put it to you that way. And I'm just like, And again, we understand. That's why I. tell people, "If we're ever killed or. rolled up or something, I hope to the. good Lord nobody thinks. we made a mistake. or the enemy won. instead of just saying, 'Wow, they died.

well.'. They died They died doing what. few want to.". Um. again, and people have to understand all these. bumps and missions were all done in my. 50s. So, God's hands on us. And now we're developing out teams. And you know one of the hardest places. to do this work is the US. I knew you were going to say that. Yeah.

Why do you think that is? Because rules that only work for. criminals. Do you think that the. US government has. Do they want to solve this problem? Not at all. Do you think that's why the rules are.

there? Mhm. I. I believe there are good men and women. in every part of our government. But they're probably a minority. I think they're definitely a minority. Yeah. Without a I'm being nice. ounce of doubt. Yeah. So, they're limited. It's like uh. it's like when you're on the teams,

can you imagine. going on target and getting order that. says, "Your rules of engagement are. this. Don't even lock and load.". Like, what the hell? You kidding me? In America, we could be getting a lot more. pedophiles. The problem it's so much bigger than. people know. From what I understand, the US is the. largest consumer. of.

underage pornography. Yeah. And we call it child porn. Uh the technical term is CSAM. Child sexual abuse material. Cuz. it's all child abuse. And. um there were over 33 million images. transferred or downloaded. um. uh last year. And our justice department.

throughout the entire US, just over 300 cases were prosecuted. I also have heard. Well, not. not heard from the. He was attached to the Department of. Homeland Security said that there are. I believe he said. there are 6,000. law enforcement officers. in the world. in the world. that are.

actively combating. child sex crimes and exploitation. I I. would say that's accurate in the world. Um. Here's what people need to understand. here in the US. Um. departments. and we've worked with I mean, it local. departments, Homeland Security, um we've worked with. FBI We've worked with major groups,

right? I can tell you this. Um. They're overworked, underfunded, and undertrained. I mean, even even I just there are so. many things that don't add up to me, you. know? Let's talk about Let's talk about. adoption. Right. And I have several friends who. are active who can't have children, Mhm. who are actively trying to adopt an.

American child. Now, what about a year ago? This isn't I'm. not getting into politics here. This is. just. This is just facts. Yep. You know what? A year year ago, they overturned Roe v. Wade. Right. Which means there are going to be. ton of kids. a ton of kids going up for adoption. But. nobody seems to be able to find out how. to adopt.

an American child. Now, why? Where are. all of these orphans who are being put. up to in put up for adoption? Where are. they going? Why is it that we have to adopt kids. from. wherever? Ukraine, Right. China, Right. Haiti. Not I'm not saying that's bad. I'm just saying, why can't we adopt an. American child? Where are they all. going? Yeah. We just overturned Roe v. Wade. That.

means there are a lot of unwanted babies. in this country that nobody wants to. take care of. Well, not nobody. There's. a ton of people out there who want to. adopt and they're unable to adopt. Why. the. can they not adopt a. American kid? Where the are they going? The system. it's not broken, it's rigged. That's why. we can't account for 85,000 children.

that have crossed the border. Of which some my wife and I were right. there. helping them get out of the water. cuz they made a. 3-month, 9-month, whatever journey. And. we're looking at these kids. Remember. looking at a. two sisters both under 11. And when they finally crossed over, it. was at night. We were embedded with the. uh. border control. and then also,

you know, a reserve unit. And. I'll never forget they came off this. little raft. When they felt safe, my wife just grabbed them and they both. started bawling. And. 85,000 of these children are missing. And. the system is not broken, it's rigged. Where when a kid gets out of.

the unaccompanied children's camps, the government set it up where you're. only allowed to try to find them one. time. One time. Mhm. After that, there is no monitoring. There's no. It's again, it's so overwhelmed. like child protective services. CPS's.

They're beyond broken. And the goal is children. more than anything else. The goal. cuz if you can if you can break a child, man, it's a lifetime of trauma. You. can't get them to function properly. Uh uh. I believe there's so many pedophiles in. the US. um. that. it's beyond not safe anymore. And that's why we've started.

this new initiative starting with a. think tank. And then, we've just started a task force. And um. it's. People can find it on our website. We. call it the Pedophile Hunter Fund. Where. we. we won't take any government money. We're privately funded. And um. doesn't matter if you're Democrat, Republican, independent, Christian, atheist, Buddhist,

it doesn't matter. We're coming for you. If you hurt a child, if you use. anything that's related to hurting. children. in a sexual way, yeah. And that's why. law enforcement is important, district. attorneys are important. And we're bypassing the system in some. degree with our own private teams to do. the hardest work. And it's not for.

it's not for sensationalism. because a lot of times you can out a. person, but that doesn't mean they're. going to get prosecuted. We're going for prosecution. And um and then also other things I. can't share. right now, but I will in an update. That. I'm just telling parents you have no. clue. how bad it is.

Hey guys, let me tell you about this. subscription service that I've been. working real hard on called Vigilance. Elite. Patreon. Basically on Patreon we have it. broken up into three different tiers. We. got tier one, tier two, and tier three. Let's dive in. Our tier one patrons get all the. behind-the-scenes footage of the Shawn. Ryan Show. That could include. behind-the-scenes photos, that could be.

side conversations that we have in. between breaks, that could be specific. questions that give us for the guest on. the Shawn Ryan Show, and a ton of bonus. content that doesn't really fit into any. specific category. For our tier two patrons, they get. access to our tactical training library. which consists of well over 100 videos. We've broken those videos up into. separate categories, and those. categories are rifle fundamentals,

pistol fundamentals, drills, tactics, driving, gear and weapon setups, and everybody's. favorite mindset. Also on tier two, you will get a live. update from me on the 1st and the 15th. of every month where we talk about the. upcoming guests on the Shawn Ryan Show. Plus. all the benefits of tier one. Our top tier, which is tier three, gets.

full access to all the other tiers, plus. they get full access to me where we do. video teleconferencing, VTC, once a month, we discuss anything. from tactics to current events to who's. coming on the show. I take suggestions, and it's very interactive. No matter. what tier you choose, the support is. greatly appreciated, and it is the only. thing that makes this show drive on. So. thank you for all the support.

See you on Patreon. So one thing parents really don't. understand is how. absolutely dangerous it is right now. And it's to the point where you. shouldn't be vigilant, you should be. hyper-vigilant. And I don't use that. term lightly, but that's the state our. nation is in. um regarding the safety of our children. and welfare. I I'll give this one of the fastest. growing groups of people viewing.

child sexual abuse images are um. young men in their 20s. And people think, how is that possible? Well, it's because of porn. Because when you start looking at porn. at 8, 9, 10, 11 years old, which is who they target, they've been targeting kids for a long. time, you get desensitized to regular. porn, and it goes into these fetishes. and extreme extreme to where now a guy. in his 20s.

cannot derive sexual pleasure unless. it's so perverted. And that's when boom. And that's why I just. that's why I just got into a. a you know, a situation with a. conservative leader. who was interviewed by first Peterson. and. um then a. a Catholic fella who it was a good. interview, but the guy asked me, he. goes,

so. what do you think about AI child porn? Which. if people understand that, that's a. literally you can take images of. children's I've heard about this. Yeah. And literally. it's so it's so messed up right now that. an image of your child on the internet. that you're trying to show people on. social media, they can take.

they can take the face of your child and. make a porn movie with your child. animated. Or animated or just this. artificial intelligence that. everything's real, you can't tell the. difference. Then they can insert. themselves into. this porn film. That's what AI, the danger of it in that. realm. Um that's what the strike is. about right now. uh in Hollywood. What is it? It it's there's this long.

strike that's been going on where. uh Screen Actors Guild uh writers. what's happening in Hollywood is they're. starting to. they're wanting to pay for the image of. actors. like um. Harrison Ford. Take his image, AI it, and make a movie with him in it, but him never having to walk on set. And you won't be able to tell the. difference.

And um so some actors are like, that's. that's cool. Other actors are, no. And then extras will only work one time. because once their image is done, they're out of work. They've paid a small fee. uh. I got paid a small fee for their. likeness. So this is where it's going and. uh my deal was with Dennis Prager who's. who's Jewish, a conservative, but he.

said on this interview. that he doesn't find it's evil for a man. to masturbate to animated child porn. That's alarming. This is a. what? human being? Saying that? It's a real. human being. And he's one of the most popular. conservative talk host. When he's. come out? Uh that came out three months. ago. People listen to this guy? Oh, big.

time. He's considered one of the. Yeah, that's why I say. I don't care conservative, liberal. Uh. now I believe a lot of laws are being. passed on the liberal side and extreme. left uh because. they are into openly perversion and. but perversion's everywhere. When this. guy said that, I literally made a video, played his. clip in context, and I said, this man is. creating pedophiles.

Cuz he just gave a liberty and a license. for young men to watch. animated child porn. Does he not understand what conditioning. the mind is? For such a smart guy, supposedly, he. didn't. Because the video I made went viral. And um. it. they and apparently hurt them, his. organization, which is a nonprofit. Oh.

And. That's too bad. Yeah. So I got a call. from. his executive person. Oh, he didn't call you, his executive. called. Oh, heck no. Yeah. No. And I said, look, there's two. things you need to do. The hair on the back of my neck is. standing up right now. And here's what's. more alarming. People get. called you to what? Uh speak for him? Well, it's his CEO of the organization, and they said um. and it was a female. And I'm like, wow,

dude, you're just. cuz I had on the video I said, I'll debate you. on this issue. And uh or you can interview me, whatever. you want. Because he has a big talk. show, radio talk show. And I said, I'm risking losing a book. deal. because it's by the same publisher. Uh I have a book coming out called The. Dangerous Gentleman in February. And I'm like, this is one of their key. guys, and I I don't care. I don't care.

I'm more concerned about children. and this conditioning of the mind. So I. said, all you have to do is recant what. you said and repent. Period. Cuz he's written things on the Old. Testament, and a lot of Christians. really appreciate this guy. And I think he's I think he's pompous, in my opinion. This is arrogant guy. that's lived in a bubble. that hasn't experienced life, and and. then for him to.

for him to give the nod of and literally. his words were. uh. the guy asked him, do you think. you can't call this evil. if a man is masturbating. to animated child porn? He goes, no. No, I can't. And good on the host, the host looks at. him and goes, a good Catholic dude. He. goes, that's despicable. And his response was, really?

Why? And I'm like, so here here was the most disturbing. end of the conversation. Yeah. That's. it. But he actually doubled down. to say, look, He doesn't understand why. Yeah. I mean, how how do you even ex- how do. you. Well, his position was that no one's. hurt. There's no victims in this, and. I'm going, wow, you. you are a stupid man. And I said, if you really that I mean,

if you really don't get that, talk to me. I'll I'll talk to me. So, of course he never did. He called other people and then his CEO. called me and I'm just like, What did the CEO say? Like, what does. that conversation look like? Uh I would like to excuse Like, what. what Oh, no. It was, "What do you have. against us? You like kitty porn. That's what we got. against you. Yeah. You're destroying our organization.".

I said, "What does destroying or. hurting, whatever the term was, you. know, uh. your organization, what does that mean?". And this was This is what she said. "Our. donations. have dropped. tremendously.". And I'm like, and there you have it. That's what it goes back to again. is money and donations. And they did this Now, they did a they. did a cleanup campaign where he's being.

interviewed by different people and. he's like, "Okay, I didn't realize how. bad animated child porn is and it can. affect people." And, you know, I'm like, "Wow. Uh So, he never apologized. He He He only said, and he wouldn't use. my name, he just goes, "People out there. are taking my words out of context.". I'm like, "It was the clip." So, this is. what I'm trying to tell people and. parents. It's a lot worse than you.

think. When you have one of the top. radio shows in the nation, of the top conservative, sharing that. that his position he couldn't call it. evil. And again, he tried to justify it. and, you know, Jewish position and he, you know, And and I get all that. But at. least say it's disgusting. At least say, "No, no one should be doing that. No one. should be, you know, But it sounds like he's.

condoning it. It I I said, "You're I said it. I said. you're giving a liberty and a license. for young men or men to go, 'Well, if he says it's So, now he's. recanted everything, but I, you know, I. can't judge a man's heart just his. words. And he certainly ain't repentant. to me. It was damage control because. they're losing money. But this is my. point cuz I don't want to make this. political. It is When it comes time for perversion,

it's across the board. And let's start with Christians. I would tell. parents watching this, don't put your. child in a daycare. or a Christian, you know, Sunday school classroom unless. the church requires. not only a background check, which. everybody knows, but a poly. I would absolutely require. a forensic polygraph examiner to come in.

for. volunteers. And that's one question. I would say too is, "Have you ever. fantasized about any sexual things with. about children? And two, have you looked. at any type of. um images or child pornography sector, you know, in in the last year?". Guess what? They're going to They're. going to find a lot of volunteers not. wanting to volunteer. Yeah. And And pastors.

play ignorant by saying, "Well, we do a. background check." I'm like, that does nothing for a person who's. never been caught. You don't know the. increase in the rise. of downloads, production of, distribution, and people don't realize that 86%. I think the number is right now is 86%. of all child porn looked at, transferred, these sexual images is done. at work. And um.

And it's people using their work's IP. address or the it's. it's an addiction. Mhm. And the sad. thing is we cannot, right now, we can't. arrest our way out of this. Yeah, you know, it's. I covered a lot some of I I. I interviewed this guy, you know him, Ryan Montgomery. Yeah. And um. Good guy. found a. Instagram clip on what he was doing.

Nobody would give this guy the time of. day. Nope. And brought him out here. It's a It turned out to be the biggest. interview I've ever done in my life. And. And I'm I'm happy, Oh gosh. that interview saved a. saved more kids Sure did. than you and I. will ever be able to count. And And. what I wanted to do with that interview. was I wanted to make it real. I mean, I did I wanted to. I didn't want to make it real, but I.

wanted to understand cuz you hear these. things, you know, you hear. Oh, they're in the they're in Instagram, they're in TikTok, they're in the chat. rooms, they're on Facebook, Snapchat, Xbox, PlayStation, computer games, you. anywhere. the kids are online, I've heard, you. know, that these the predators are. there. And They're hunting. And so, I. needed to see this, you know, cuz I'm. I am a.

I have to see to believe a lot of times, you know? And I mean, even with my. faith. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if. you've listened to the Yeah, yeah. So, but um. like it it it's I'm just that guy. I've. got to see to believe. It's hard for me. to take anybody's word. So, Ryan's. sitting there and I said, "Hey, you got your laptop here?". And he said, "Yeah." I said, "Just. pull your laptop out, get in any chat. room, I don't care, social media. platform, whatever you want.

And I want to see how long this takes.". It was like 5 seconds. It's crazy. Made the screen name Ashley13 New. Jersey. I'll never forget it. The. He goes, "Oh, got one right here." And. I'm like, I couldn't even have typed the name that. fast and the user, you know, the. username that fast and. And as the conversation developed, there it is. I think it was a. 47-year-old.

man wanting to get with a 13-year-old. Yeah. girl. Yeah. And. right there just proved to. however many people watched that. episode, Millions. you know what I mean? It It was one of. the most convincing clips and. And so, people understand too, Ryan is. such a solid guy. He's actually both on. our think tank and part of our task. force. Good. Good. And it. I mean, he'll help. He He He does work. with other people, too,

but. he had one of the most convincing. positions. by proof. on your program that changed I think it. changed our nation. Where people went, "Oh my gosh." This is real. And. like the next step of that is for people. to understand it's not some creepy It's. not like this creepy weird dude in the. basement. It's doctors. It's lawyers.

It's government officials. I mean, it It's the white-collar white man. crime. It is. it is. It And And um. going to say it however. Cuz there's no community anymore. You know, it there's just there's no. community anymore. Man, this child. pedophilia. it leans toward I mean, we have. operations in other countries. I can. show you. I can show you right now. uh a photo. of a uh 4-year-old girl.

who we have in our custody, who was being raped. by foreigners, by the grandfather. And. uh 2 days ago, she went to court to. testify. Can you imagine that? To be. able to testify and. she went down to the courthouse and one. of the abusers showed up. A white dude. or a dude that can go over there.

And uh we're actually running facial. recognition on him. uh as we speak because. it's. it's beyond the brazenness of evil is. beyond what people don't imagine. Beyond what people can imagine. Do you think this problem is getting. worse or is the veil just being lifted? It's getting worse. It's getting worse.

Yeah, because of technology. Because my abuser as a kid, he had dirty. magazines, but to get uh. to get child pornography, that was a physical. that was a physical something you had to. hold. You couldn't email it. You couldn't go online. It wasn't online. There was no internet. Now, what would take a sailor a lifetime of. traveling. to see and learn about an eighth grader.

can on his phone in one night. That's why it's. it has sped up the process of absolutely. destroying. the minds. of our children. Not a sailor, but our children. And that's what people aren't willing. to accept and understand. I think they're starting to. Yeah, I think they're starting to. I.

think it I think this is. waking a lot of parents up. You know, I really do. But, um. this kind of brings me into. I mean, look, nothing. it's it's getting to the point where. nothing is making sense. And. I'm even starting, you know, it. How do I say this?

I think political barriers are starting. to be torn down. Mhm. Because it was a. it was a it. It's an illusion. It's a man-made illusion that these are. party lines. Yes, I agree with you that. yes, the left is. the far left is trying to legalize. pedophilia. Yeah.

You know. But, there are guys on the right that. won't fight against it. on the right and we have we have had. plenty. You know, and I'm guilty of this. I'm. guilty of politicizing this. You know, I'm not going to. lie. And, um. Well, not too bad, but. I fell for I fell for the bait, I guess. is what I'm saying. And, I thought this. was a political thing. This isn't a. political thing. This is everywhere. And.

and. yeah, what I was fed was all. political. This is all the left. Then, I. interviewed this guy. This interview. hasn't even come out yet. I interviewed. this guy who followed Epstein around for. 20 years. Mhm. And, um. so, that'll be coming out hopefully. shortly, but he had talked about a. scandal called the Franklin scandal. Have you heard of this? Mhm. in Nebraska. And, uh it was a.

it was a a a. child sex trafficking ring that was all. conservatives back in the 90s. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah, proven. Yeah. Yeah, done like. Absolutely proven. documented. Yeah, no conspiracy. Yeah. It happened. Oh, yes, yes. And, uh there's he wrote a book on it. Yeah. And, um. And, I mean, it's happening it's. happening right one of the biggest rings. ever to be busted was right here in. Williamson County.

Now, supposedly this is the 19th safest. county to live in in the country. If I remember corre- it was it's like. top top 20, whatever. Who cares? Top 50. I don't even I don't even, you know what. I mean? There's a lot of counties. Yeah. Biggest. biggest sex trafficking ring in the. coun- one of the biggest ones in the. country busted right here. How is this. the safest county? Yeah. Give me a break. There's no safe places. You know, and. That's an illusion. And.

you know, and there's so many other. things that are happening that make zero. sense. The the the the gender issues. that we're. You want to do that stuff when you're 18. years old, Right. I don't care. Right. I don't. think anybody really cares. Right. Might make people uncomfortable, So, you. do. but I don't think they really care. But, you start doing that to 8-year-old. kids, you know, you see these you see these. A-list celebrities with three sons and I.

uh all three of them want to be. all three of them just happen to want to. be. little girls. Girls. I'm not buying that [ __ ] No way. Nobody's buying that. Well, some people. are. You know, and but. there's that there's I mean, everywhere. you look, it's upside down. And. a lot of people still think this is.

political. This isn't political. I think. this is. I think this is a legitimate battle of. good versus evil, spiritual warfare. And, I am very green on this topic, but. it just doesn't make sense. You know, I. know people who are. liberal, who are great people. You know, and I'll probably get a bunch of [ __ ]. for saying that on this platform, but. I'll tell. my the therapist that I give credit to.

saving my life. Mhm. and just about every spec operator. who's sat in that chair Mhm. has talked. to her as well. She's helped thousands of of. tier one spec ops guys get VA benefits, walk them through. talk them out of the talk them out of I. mean, just a. about as far left as you can Well, I. shouldn't say as She's a lefty. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Amazing human being. The woman.

that I interviewed who got the. the four Blackwater guys. Yeah. She she's the one that got. Trump's attention to pardon these guys. for being innocent, you know? Mhm. A liberal woman. So, this is a major this is a conservative. audience here, but I'm here to tell you. like. the veil's been the the. You got to lift it. Yeah. We're not that.

far apart. He. and and that's part of the messaging to. make everybody so far apart. And, we're. dealing with humanity and I agree with. you a thousand percent. What people need. to understand, there's an unseen war. at the highest level. and it is truly between good and evil. And the angels are involved and so are. demons. Cuz out of everything I do, everything. we've talked about today, probably the most important thing we do.

is deal with the demonic. And again, our mission statement to set. people free, kids especially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And, until you get really set free in. the spiritual realm, uh. there's unneeded suffering. There's. unneeded drivenness. There's unneeded. addictions. There's unneeded torment. And, a person. really.

um. And, it's just of late in our culture. that that's all been separated out and. like dismissed. People cultures you go around, people. believe in evil. You start talking about here in the US, no, no, no, what you know. Other. countries like, of course. Of course. And, um. I I've seen it. We've dealt with it. And.

I can tell you it's what makes sense out. of all the craziness. That there's one higher level. of demonic activity driving people in. the battlefields in their mind. And, I do believe. that a person's soul, which I would. consider as mind, will, and emotions, can be assaulted. by a demon entity. Now, I'm not talking. about possession. Uh I don't even use the word possession.

cuz I think that's what the devil, who's the the highest. fallen angel, Satan, I believe that's. what he wants people to think. That unless you're manifesting, crawling walls, vomiting what movies are. made out of, then a person goes, "Well, I don't have any issues with demons cuz. that's not happening to me.". I'm like, "Oh my gosh, there's. that's simply not true.".

And wh- why do mothers kill their. children? W- why does. a teacher and her husband, who's a. police officer, um literally. make cupcakes for her to take to her. classroom children? And. kids were getting sick, but parents some. came up they end up finding out that. they were putting this man's semen in. the cupcakes and she was giving it to. the kids.

Yeah, both convicted. And, um. Why why does. you know, uh a good Christian staff. member at a church in San Diego, a. well-known church, um in San Diego, uh her husband's a former border patrol. and they're Christian going people, w-. why were they charged with the death of. foster kids they took in who were beaten.

and malnutrition? Their. evil has to be brought into this. equation. And, I believe people's hearts. can be desperately wicked. Uh but, when. they yield themselves to evil, when they. yield themselves. to demonic activity, the only way out is to be free. And, you can't wish that away. Uh I believe there are times you just. got to be prayed for. Because that's how we deal with the.

demonic is through prayer. And, um. I'll say this, we actually have a. documentary, an eight-part docu-series. coming out, um. soon. And, it explains really what warfare is, spiritual warfare. It explains the. tactics, the strategies. But, the greatest thing it actually. teaches people their authority, how to. stand against and not be. a victim of demonic attacks. Well, what.

is it? So, How would you define spiritual. warfare? Yeah, I think it is a battle. between good and evil, demonic, the devil, God and his angels, but the prize is actually humans. That's. who they're going after. Is it souls? Souls ultimately, that's the biggest. thing, but if they can't get a soul, then they'll just destroy God's. creation.

They'll destroy something God loves, and. he loves people. Uh. and that's their goal, to ruin their. life, to make them miserable, to cause. divorces, to create addictions, to lie. in a person's mind enough where a kid. goes, "I think I. am a girl.". You know, or a girl saying, "I want my. breasts cut off cuz I feel like a boy.". This is This is a new phenomenon. This. never happened in the history of the. world. Yeah. Um and it just goes on and.

on, the destruction of the family, fitting all this. It just There There's. an evil that is active and working, and. people need to understand the only way. you can fight it. is through the power of Christ, the. blood of Jesus, and your authority in who you are. And I've dealt with thousands of demons. now, thousands. Easily. How do you think this ends? I think the Bible is true.

I think that. uh we're on a. timetable. of what's happening. through prophecies being fulfilled in. the Bible. Um and I think we're. we're heading. towards certain It's It's a certain. absolute. unchangeable. destination. of the world yielding itself to the. Antichrist.

And. for the Antichrist to rule, people have. to be willing subjects, by and large. And I tell people, and I mean it, if as bad as cancer is, let's just say. cancer is the worst thing in the world, or child abuse, as bad as those things are, if we use. those two, or let's say divorce, you know, for people who hate divorce,

or adult, whatever. Think of the worst. pain. If it all If it all could be solved in 1. week, cancer's. a cure, no more children being abused. Those are like just unmistakable, right? Those aren't religious issues. Those are just human issues. But the requirement would be. for everyone to stop using their cell. phone.

And that's impossible. It's impossible. Because of the human heart. I I'm convinced. that. it's just. people feel like they're preparing. for the worst and they're going to. overcome it, and and I'm like, you're. just building a sandcastle in the. devil's sandbox. When he comes with his water hose, there's nothing you can do. And they're definitely I mean, the enemy.

has a legal right to some people who. yield themselves. So, uh it's What do you mean by that? Well, uh the Bible says God resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. Uh the Bible's very clear that if a. person is in rebellion to God, if they embrace sin, uh it does open them up to to the works. of darkness. And it's very sneaky at first.

In some cases, in other cases, it's just. blatant. I've interviewed and talked. with and met with more violent chronic. offenders in the juvenile system than. anybody else in the country. The top 3. to 5%. Your mass shooters, your rapists, your. baby killers, all of it. And um. and it and it it boils down to this. Evil is acceptable nowadays in our. society. That's.

That's the slow frog in the kettle. And slowly being warmed up, he's. swimming around, swimming around, and it's not boiling yet, he's not. worried. And then, by the time it gets to boiling. point, he's dead. It's too late. That's. what's happened to the human mind. and our heart, and it's because of. television, it's because of movies, it's because of. music, and it's because of.

social media, the internet, that cell. phone. And people will not give it up. Um. so, like I was in Burma. Uh we did a. a month-long mission inside Burma, you know, bad stuff happening, trying to. help good people. And I remember laughing going, "If a person says they have a porn. problem, let them come here.". Cuz you ain't getting reception.

You ain't looking at porn. You'll find out how much you don't. Um it's it's what our culture set up. The Bible says that Satan is the god of. this world. Small g. So, he runs it. He controls it. It's It's not Schwab, it's not Soros, it's not WEF. Those are all puppets and. pawns of the wicked one. And I believe. they yield themselves to evil, and he's happy to oblige. Then, he has a.

legal right. to have people do his bidding. And I've seen it again and again and. again. What do you do if you're on the good. side of this? What can people do? Well, you get excited about the ultimate. outcome, not the temporary. And the ultimate outcome is heaven for. those of us.

who want to believe the truth of God's. word, and know that he's made a way of escape, including temptation. Uh the Bible says there's no temptation. that's not common to all mankind that. God actually hasn't given us a way out. of. So, there's a truth and a power in that. to go, "I can live. far above. um you know, my the base human nature.". Um and when people like When people say,

you know, "I look at porn, it's not a. big deal." I'm like, "Well, there's. different types. You got You got. people who are exploring. You got people who struggle, like, "Oh, I shouldn't look at that." But everyone. still they do. You got people who are. addicted. I mean, it's ruining their. life. It will destroy their marriage. Uh it will take them to dark, dark. places. And. and it's like, well, if you just believe. the truth that the power of God's in. you, same power that raised Christ from the. dead, you don't have to be a slave to.

anything. Anything. So, the good news is we can occupy until. we die, or until Christ comes back. That's the. good news. But we live with a purpose knowing. ultimately we're fighting. a spiritual battle. for the hearts and minds of kids, women, children, uh humanity. And that's always our ultimate goal, but yet I never force it. I've never had.

one Muslim friend feel like that I was. trying to help a kid in order to. present Jesus and the gospel. Never. Never. I I was like, you know why? Cuz I. wouldn't want anybody doing that to my. kids. or my grandchildren. So, I think we can. live a life I never forget I just. finished a firefight. Um again, as a missionary going into a. ISIS-controlled village that they've had. for 3 years,

and we know there's women and children. in there, so we embedded with the the. Iraqi force. Boom, we hit this town, this little village. Uh all hell's. breaking loose. And, you know, when there was a lull, of. course, it's lunchtime. So, you know, people eat. I'm leaning. against the wall, and there's this guy. next to me. Someone actually take a. picture. We're leaning against the wall. He looks. at me and he goes, "Why are you here?

It's only you and one other American, Dave Eubank, that are on this mission. Why are you here?". And I said, "Well, God loves me, and. I love him. But he's given me a love for you and. your people. And I think all women and children. should be protected. from evil. So, we're here to help.". That guy's. his eyes started leaking.

And he's like, "You really believe your. faith?". I do. And because I believe in evil, and I believe. that ISIS as an organization. and their leaders are evil because of. what they do. And again, it doesn't matter what. country or region or realm I'm in, I. always try to look at it at the highest. level. And then I would encourage people.

come to faith, grow in faith. Just like. if you want to be good at anything, you. got to be intentional. And you can never go wrong just spending. time reading the word. I listen to it. more than reading because of TBR and. whatnot. And like last night, I listened. half of the New Testament and the first. two books in the old. Cuz I just play it. I want my brain to. be soaked in that, right? But um.

and then learn. Learn the strategies of the enemy. and learn how you can defeat any demon. in hell or all of them. coming at you. That's. and that's what's lacking in the Western. church today. Where would you start to to educate. yourself on defeating them the evil? Yeah. The first thing is to learn your. identity in Christ. You know, if you hyper-focus on the.

devil and demons, it's almost like. counterfeit money. Uh. bank people of all people who are going. through cash, they're not looking. for. a counterfeit. They're just focusing because they know. the real thing so well. As they're just. pouring through it da da da da da da da. a counterfeit will will. sticks out. Oh, blaring. But if they're trying to look for the. counterfeit, and that's the same thing.

in the spiritual realm. Don't focus on. demons or the devil. Focus on the Lord. And learn your identity. because. if you stay close to the Lord, if you. grow, then when you get a thought in. your mind, remember that's the. battlefield. You may see it manifest in. people. And and I have. I've had demons. speak to me through people. I hate you. I know who you are. I'll. destroy you, your family, your ministry.

Uh you know, I had one. had one. just start saying, "I'm effing I will. effing kill you. I will murder you." I. I'm like, "Shut up. No, you won't. You're being judged right now. Stop using this man's voice.". And um. the when you learn your position and. your power. in Christ, you don't fear demons. I had a This is a spec op guy. He He is a tier one dude.

And. he launched at me. Um he was struggling so bad. He was. suicidal and all that. I start praying. for him. And when I asked this demon its name, this guy launched at me. for me to you. And I mean. I thought I was about to have to do the. tango with a dang demon. um because. rare cases, but people can yield.

themselves to the devil. Evil will. manifest through them. Rare. Uh but. halfway to me, I promise you, and I have witnesses, him being the main. one, it was like an angel grabbed him by the. scruff of his neck and slammed him right. in front of me. He hit his knees so hard and he's. growling and I'm like, "Demon, you release this man. You have no right. in the name of Jesus.".

And this demon's like, "You can't have. him." I said, "Well, you don't own him. You just. tricked him." And the guy gets set free. in like 5 minutes. And he was like, "What the hell was. that?". I said, "We call it our freedom. It's. the highest form of battle you can ever. get into." Eddie Penny talks a lot about. this stuff, too. Does he? Oh, yeah. You guys need to. meet. It's real. And. once you know how to crush demons and. set people free,

for the warrior, you're like, "Oh, yeah.". Cuz you really can destroy demons. And um. so people know me as a pedophile hunter. We have patches. But in reality, I'm really hunting. demons. Good for you, man. The world needs it. We need a lot more. people like you. Well, I hope we can produce a bunch before.

it's my time to go. I hope this helps. But Victor, this has been a. phenomenal interview. And uh. I know it wasn't easy for you. And I. just want to say thank you for. for opening up like that and um. to me and my audience. And I think a lot. of good is going to come from this. A. lot of education is going to come from. this.
