4:30Now PlayingRight-wing pastor Greg Locke recently went on a tirade about Joe Biden, Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, and a group of people that he described as sexual deviants. He then admitted that other pastors didn't have the courage to say what he says because they don't want to be branded as "crazy," but he says that he's ok with that label. The truth is that charlatans like this exist all throughout the Christian Right, and their followers need to wake up to what is happening to them. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Over the weekend, right wing pastor Greg Locke, kind of went berserk during one of his sermons where he started talking about Joe Biden, Oprah, Tom Hanks, and pretty much anybody else, I guess, that's ever made this guy angry. So take a look at pastor Greg Locke, work in the crowd at his sermon. Here it is.
God's about to bring the whole house down, ladies and gentlemen. These bunch of sex trafficking mongrels are about to be exposed. These bunch of pedophiles in Hollywood are going to be exposed for who they are. I don't care what you think about fraudulent sleepy Joe, he's a sex trafficking, demon possessed mongrel. He's of the left. He ain't no better than the Pope and Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks and the rest of that wicked crowd. God is going to bring the whole house down. I said, he's going to bring the whole house down. He's going to burn the whole thing to the ground. He's going to expose all these bunch of pedophiles. I'm telling you, he's going to expose Kamala Harris for the jezebel demon that she is. I don't know why pastors don't talk about this stuff. Well, I do. They don't want to seem crazy. I'm already crazy.
You know, I think it's very fitting that it looks like he's giving this sermon in a circus tent, consider, considering the content of this, because it really does seem like some kind of sideshow act. You know, he's up there on stage sounding like a professional wrestler, trying to work the crowd, get them all into it. And we're going to do this and we're going to tell you about God's gonna burn it all down. I'm crazy. Which he did say in that clip, his words, not mine. But here's the thing. Does Greg Locke actually believe any of this? Okay. Is he out there on stage pouring out his heart, telling these people in the crowd that I firmly do believe there's some kind of sex trafficking cabal of pedophiles in DC, or is he just working the crowd? You know, I can't say, I'm not in the guy's head. I don't know what he really believes and what he doesn't. But I do know from doing countless segments on the religious right over the last 17 and a half years, you kind of get a feel for how these people operate.
You know, after speaking with the experts, people like Frank Schaeffer, you learn how these people do what they do and why they do what they do. It's not likely, in my opinion, that Greg Locke actually believes those things that he is saying on stage. What is far more likely is that he is trying to get these low information people in the crowd worked up into a frenzy so that they'll donate money to his ministry. I mean, that's how these things work. You know, all of these big tent, mega church pastors, it's all the same thing. They got to have the money to survive. We've seen plenty of them go out there and use that money, buy private jets, buy these big massive mansions, fancy sport cars, all of these things, teaching the gospel of prosperity, saying that if you're rich, it's because God wants you to be rich because you've been such a good person. And if you're not it's because you're not good enough yet.
Greg Locke just seems like he's the latest in a long line of these, you know, religious right grifters. It's an easy grift. It's a good grift if you can get it. But to me, that's what this seems.
