In this episode I sit down with my friend Luis Ruiz—a street-level correspondent who has covered Antifa and protest dynamics since the early El Paso days. We walk through recent “No Kings” protests, how influencer-led stunts escalate conflict on purpose, why some on the right are falling for it, and why Christians are called to defuse—not inflame—these psyops. What we cover * “No Kings” protests: what’s organic vs. what’s manufactured for the camera. * Portland case study: how assaulting a smaller woman - and selective editing - earned Nick Sortor an invite into the White House * Influencer incentives: why clout-chasing content (left and right) rewards escalation. * Street-level de-escalation: Luis demonstrates how he disengaged and left a hostile scene in El Paso rather than “win” a viral clip. * Media pipelines: how small staged clips get laundered into primetime segments and influence the White House narrative loop. * Discernment for Christians: the difference between activism that seeds hate and peacemaking journalism. * Spiritual layer: Gnostic/”Christ is King” branding vs. the fruit of the Spirit. * Hope, not heat: why long-suffering, local-church relationships change hearts more than political theater. Key takeaways * Provocation is the product. The goal isn’t truth; it’s footage that converts into reach, bookings, and fundraising. * Selective edits invert reality. Full-context review often reveals the “victim” initiated the conflict. * Don’t be drafted. The psyop wants ordinary Christians to become what the narrative accuses them of being. Decline the role. * Peacemaking scales. De-escalation in the street and discipleship in the church beat any “own the libs/own the right” cycle. * Test fruit, not slogans. “Christ is King” in a bio means nothing without love, patience, and self-control on camera and off. A world premiere Luis treats us to a world premiere of a clip from his nearly completed documentary, Closure, and discusses next steps.

The win is turning us into the caricature they’ve been selling. Peacemaking is the counter-narrative.” The battle isn’t left vs. right—it’s truth vs. manipulation.
