You've got it completely backwards. Jesus never railed against the political situation. He, rather, rebuked the false teachers and religious leaders. Not that we should give people like Locke more attention than they deserve, but there's nothing at all wrong with calling them out.
You probably would've told Jesus to lay off the Pharisees and rebuke Rome instead.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the kingdom of heaven before men; for you do not enter, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you travel around land and sea to make one proselyte, and whenever he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you. Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, is obligated.' Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, is obligated.' Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? Therefore he that swears by the altar, swears by it and by all the things on it. He that swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwelt in it. And he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the more important things of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not have neglected the others. Blind guides, you who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel! Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and unrighteousness. Blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all uncleanness. Thus also you outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.' So that you testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who killed the prophets. And you, fill up then, the measure of your fathers' guilt. Serpents! Brood of vipers! How shall you escape from the condemnation of hell? Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and you will crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and you will persecute from city to city, so that on you may come all the righteous blood being shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar."

Consanguinity, like stratification and positive assortative mating, brings about an increase in the frequency of autosomal recessive disease by increasing the frequency with which carriers of an autosomal recessive disorder mate. Unlike the disorders in stratified populations, in which each subgroup is likely to have a high frequency of a few alleles, the kinds of recessive disorders seen in the offspring of related parents may be very rare and unusual in the population as a whole because consanguineous mating allows an uncommon allele inherited from a heterozygous common ancestor to become homozygous. A similar phenomenon is seen ingenetic isolates, small populations derived from a limited number of common ancestors who tended to mate only among themselves. Mating between two apparently “unrelated” individuals in a genetic isolate may have the same risk for certain recessive conditions as that observed in consanguineous marriages because the individuals are both carriers by inheritance from common ancestors of the isolate, a phenomenon known asinbreeding.
For example, among Ashkenazi Jews in North America, mutant alleles forTay-Sachs disease..."

The video claims are mistaken - not least because that presentation is clearly at odds with guarding the flocks - and any true witch (which is the claim) would be incapable of enduring any real prophetic intrusion into their theatre of influence. So they would be incapable of remaining in the room as three were claimed to be present. Perhaps more importantly to have received that information (full name) in part as stated by demonic volition and then by requirement in the same of Christ (as also stated) once the information began to flow - is a schism that is a likely a deception.
In designating the claim to named witches as male and female then the meaning changes and yet the pastor doesn't appear to know that. It all rather depends on where the power lies in a meaning of whom Satan is upholding as the rank witch and whether male or female. My own thought is that this show is about breaking a few sisters who are causing him a disturbance. The male part is likely a weak man or two as the pastor perceives them and so the show is to deal with the sisters and the brothers by dealing with the women.
But its all insanity in truth. That is no way to deal with such a serious intrusion into the church - were it in the character he is claiming.
I am not surprised that slurs result to certain perceived groups - but that is really not helpful either. The pastor - as with too many pastors has taken on the prophetic mantle when he should be feeding the sheep.
The pastor calls the witches he says are present in the church (three of them) spell casting pharmakeia devil worshippers. That is of course a reference to Galatians 5:19 or at least to several of the fruits of the flesh listed there. If at least one female were totally unknown to any others in the church (as claimed) and two were women in his [the pastor] wife's women group (as claimed) and yet they are all being singled out for removal from the church - this pastor has already lost the fight because as witches they would be able to eat him alive - and that pastor would be incapable of refusing them. I have no doubt that his notice for one week to leave would be met with derision by those witches who do not have to be in any spiritual possession other than their flesh - and even more disturbingly they could also be born again. Witchcraft is not as it is often portrayed and when it is as a genuine work of Satan with demonic influences the witches would not be able to endure the name of Christ at all.
