We've gotten a bunch since my podcast with

Speaker:

Pastor Jack.

Speaker:

So we're very, very grateful for you all.

Speaker:

And yeah, thank you for joining us.

Speaker:

Yeah, might be affecting our podcast, too,

Speaker:

because that has been a bear.

Speaker:

I've been working on that for a month.

Speaker:

to get those back up and running.

Speaker:

The podcast on iHeartRadio, Spotify,

Speaker:

all that kind of stuff.

Speaker:

It is crazy.

Speaker:

Welcome to our world.

Speaker:

Fight the good fight, folks.

Speaker:

That's what we're talking about today.

Speaker:

You fight against evil.

Speaker:

Tell the truth.

Speaker:

This is what happens.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

Make sure that you comment.

Speaker:

Let us know what you think about

Speaker:

everything that's going on here on the

Speaker:

show and in the world.

Speaker:

Just type it in there.

Speaker:

The more you comment,

Speaker:

the more it'll push it out to other

Speaker:

people that may not normally see it

Speaker:

because the social media supposedly,

Speaker:

who knows now, will say, hey,

Speaker:

these people are watching.

Speaker:

They're commenting.

Speaker:

They're liking what's being done on the

Speaker:

show.

Speaker:

And so they were supposed to push it

Speaker:

out to other people so they can see

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

But let's just keep doing it.

Speaker:

The more we talk about it,

Speaker:

the more people have the chance to see

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

And then make sure if you have any

Speaker:

prayer requests,

Speaker:

make sure to put those in the chat.

Speaker:

Let us know what we can pray for

Speaker:

you for at the end of the show.

Speaker:

We end in prayer.

Speaker:

And we would love to include your prayer

Speaker:

request right there.

Speaker:

So just a couple announcements we'll say

Speaker:

now and say it at the end for

Speaker:

the people that joined late.

Speaker:

But busy Thanksgiving.

Speaker:

We had a whole bunch of people over.

Speaker:

So we had like,

Speaker:

I don't know how many now.

Speaker:

It was supposed to be sixteen.

Speaker:

Then people canceled the last minute and

Speaker:

about fifteen people.

Speaker:

And then next week I leave tomorrow for

Speaker:

a court case in Illinois.

Speaker:

And then my son graduates from the boot

Speaker:

camp as an expert witness in a court

Speaker:

case.

Speaker:

I'm not being,

Speaker:

that's what Andy does for a living.

Speaker:

I'm not being indicted.

Speaker:

Um, but then, uh, who knows what,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

some of the things I've been hearing

Speaker:

lately that people are trying to get me

Speaker:

on.

Speaker:

Um, and then after that, uh,

Speaker:

my son Kelly, our son Kelly, uh,

Speaker:

graduates from, uh, US army.

Speaker:

And so I'm going to go straight from

Speaker:

Illinois to Georgia and we'll be there

Speaker:

next week.

Speaker:

So yeah,

Speaker:

it's going to be a pretty big break

Speaker:

before we are able to come back on.

Speaker:

So that's what's going on.

Speaker:

But what's going on in the world, Schnugs?

Speaker:

What's happening?

Speaker:

So we've gotten a lot of emails and

Speaker:

requests for advice, basically.

Speaker:

We've got a new mosque going up in

Speaker:

different cities.

Speaker:

People after the podcast wanted to know,

Speaker:

what can we do?

Speaker:

How do we get involved?

Speaker:

What do you suggest?

Speaker:

And so we came up with an outline.

Speaker:

And of course, my topic is education.

Speaker:

Islamization of America,

Speaker:

but Andy's topic is just, you know,

Speaker:

how would you describe it, socialism,

Speaker:

communism?

Speaker:

Well, it started with schools,

Speaker:

finding out that I was now going to

Speaker:

have to be educated on communism,

Speaker:

socialism, humanism,

Speaker:

all kinds of stuff all kinds of isms

Speaker:

create the spiritual vacuum that allow

Speaker:

everything else that's happening in the

Speaker:

country right now to exist it's detaching

Speaker:

us from our judeo-christian values so this

Speaker:

is this is the milieu that this generation

Speaker:

has grown up in it's basically devoid of

Speaker:

any spiritual practices leaving this

Speaker:

vacuum

Speaker:

of people walking around that just don't

Speaker:

believe things, that don't want to work.

Speaker:

That's why the rise of the Democratic

Speaker:

Socialists of America.

Speaker:

I had a really interesting talk with

Speaker:

Zahra, our daughter today,

Speaker:

about what is socialism.

Speaker:

We were watching a really interesting

Speaker:

movie that was portraying it.

Speaker:

And I was like,

Speaker:

it's just basically young people looking

Speaker:

around America and being like,

Speaker:

I think I want everything to be free

Speaker:

because I want to stay home because I

Speaker:

don't like to work.

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

And I told her, you know,

Speaker:

what it leads to,

Speaker:

it leads to the decline.

Speaker:

The ridiculous part about it is that

Speaker:

everybody looks around and says, oh,

Speaker:

everything's going to stay the same.

Speaker:

I'm still going to have the Starbucks on

Speaker:

every corner,

Speaker:

but I'm just not going to pay for

Speaker:

things.

Speaker:

And it's so ignorant and naive because

Speaker:

nothing stays the same.

Speaker:

And I explained to her, I said,

Speaker:

When the doctor and the Taco Bell worker

Speaker:

receive the same amount of money,

Speaker:

guess what?

Speaker:

Nobody goes to medical school anymore.

Speaker:

And then think about what happens to your

Speaker:

health care.

Speaker:

And then businesses leave because they

Speaker:

can't get money because the government's

Speaker:

taking all their money.

Speaker:

So the wealthy people,

Speaker:

the smart people leave.

Speaker:

And what you're left with is the corner

Speaker:

state grocery store that'll give you a

Speaker:

pound of potatoes and a bag of rice.

Speaker:

And I said,

Speaker:

and it doesn't look anything like it does

Speaker:

right now.

Speaker:

And she's like,

Speaker:

why would people want that?

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

It's never worked.

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

It's never worked anywhere in the world.

Speaker:

But it costs millions of lives over the

Speaker:

years.

Speaker:

Every country that tries it,

Speaker:

millions of people are killed and die of

Speaker:

starvation.

Speaker:

And it is it has been something that

Speaker:

has been tried for hundreds of years,

Speaker:

maybe thousands of years.

Speaker:

And it just simply doesn't work.

Speaker:

And so along those lines,

Speaker:

just to kind of

Speaker:

understand how we got here because you

Speaker:

know six or seven years ago when i

Speaker:

started fighting at the school boards it

Speaker:

was like what's this nonsense like it's

Speaker:

almost like it's something that seemingly

Speaker:

just appeared right and so we were talking

Speaker:

about things like critical race theory um

Speaker:

and um

Speaker:

pornography in the schools,

Speaker:

in the libraries of elementary schools.

Speaker:

The sex education has gone completely

Speaker:

bananas in what it is.

Speaker:

They're teaching kids about how to have

Speaker:

different kinds of sex,

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

like it was when we were in school

Speaker:

to avoid sexually transmitted diseases

Speaker:

through abstinence.

Speaker:

And learning how you make a baby.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

And so this is,

Speaker:

and so in doing that,

Speaker:

what I've come to learn,

Speaker:

especially over the last couple of years,

Speaker:

and then more recently,

Speaker:

I've found some really great sources and

Speaker:

authors and experts in the area that this

Speaker:

has been going on since the eighteen

Speaker:

twenties.

Speaker:

And at the time they knew it was

Speaker:

going to take a long time,

Speaker:

and early on they said this is going

Speaker:

to have to be a slow roll.

Speaker:

And I'm going to name a bunch of

Speaker:

men a little bit later on and how

Speaker:

we got here.

Speaker:

But early on, humanism,

Speaker:

which is a form of socialism,

Speaker:

which means the individual is more

Speaker:

important, and then the collectivism,

Speaker:

it means that everybody collectively will

Speaker:

live the same.

Speaker:

So collectivism, humanism, Marxism,

Speaker:

socialism, communism is all the same,

Speaker:

essentially.

Speaker:

There's some slight differences here and

Speaker:

there.

Speaker:

Nobody go crazy and start yelling at me.

Speaker:

But they are simply saying that God has

Speaker:

no... it doesn't exist.

Speaker:

God has no place in anything that we

Speaker:

think about or do.

Speaker:

That humans are good and sinless.

Speaker:

And if we just everybody was exactly the

Speaker:

same, everything would be perfect,

Speaker:

a utopia.

Speaker:

And so back in the eighteen twenties,

Speaker:

Robert Owen knew that he had to get

Speaker:

into the education system to begin to

Speaker:

change our education system,

Speaker:

to get the Bible and to get God

Speaker:

out of schools.

Speaker:

That's how far back the starts in the

Speaker:

twenties and started learning from some of

Speaker:

the most diabolical leaders of the world.

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

the communist countries at the time to

Speaker:

learn how to do this because they were

Speaker:

doing it already in their schools and so

Speaker:

he would go to you know soviet union

Speaker:

china to learn how they were doing this

Speaker:

in their schools and brought it to the

Speaker:

united states so that's really how it

Speaker:

started and this has been a slow role

Speaker:

um but intentional role right uh in in

Speaker:

getting it out because they knew if they

Speaker:

tried to take bibles out like immediately

Speaker:

that it wouldn't happen it had to be

Speaker:

something that he did slowly

Speaker:

And the interesting thing for us has been,

Speaker:

as I delve more deeply and trying to

Speaker:

explain the Islamist threat,

Speaker:

it is these two movements,

Speaker:

the merger isn't just convenience.

Speaker:

It is that spiritual vacuum created by the

Speaker:

hundred years of work from eighteen twenty

Speaker:

to about nineteen twenty,

Speaker:

which is when the Brotherhood,

Speaker:

the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamization,

Speaker:

the civilizational jihad that you've heard

Speaker:

about.

Speaker:

So basically, from the early days,

Speaker:

Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb,

Speaker:

the theologians,

Speaker:

the architects of the Brotherhood,

Speaker:

learned from this Marxist theory.

Speaker:

That's the foundation for which they built

Speaker:

their platform,

Speaker:

is they took all of that knowledge and

Speaker:

basically...

Speaker:

planted it on top of Islam to make

Speaker:

this movement.

Speaker:

And so there is a synergy between the

Speaker:

two that goes way,

Speaker:

way before and way deeper than the current

Speaker:

alliance that we see.

Speaker:

which is that people thought was just like

Speaker:

this red-green alliance just suddenly like

Speaker:

morphed as a result of being against

Speaker:

conservatives.

Speaker:

But no,

Speaker:

it's been an intentional alliance from the

Speaker:

very beginning.

Speaker:

People are very patient because this has

Speaker:

been going on for thousands of years.

Speaker:

Well, the Islamic one is coming, for sure.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And the way that they blended together.

Speaker:

Do you believe that...

Speaker:

The would it be the the socialist Marxist

Speaker:

people had any idea that they would ever

Speaker:

team up with Islam,

Speaker:

that that was ever a potential or it

Speaker:

just seems that these have just come

Speaker:

together, realizing in the last decade.

Speaker:

fifty years or so that... Well, no,

Speaker:

it started back in the nineteen twenties.

Speaker:

So when Sayyid Qutb,

Speaker:

when the architects of the Brotherhood

Speaker:

began back in the nineteen twenties,

Speaker:

they drew from Marxist literature.

Speaker:

So they drew from that knowledge that was

Speaker:

created because they no longer were a

Speaker:

superpower.

Speaker:

Because under the Ottoman Empire,

Speaker:

they were a superpower.

Speaker:

They didn't need to draw from anybody

Speaker:

else.

Speaker:

So once they collapsed,

Speaker:

and the West had gained prominence,

Speaker:

it became a mortal enemy in a different

Speaker:

fashion.

Speaker:

They needed to switch tactics because

Speaker:

military conquest was no longer an option.

Speaker:

That's where the civilizational...

Speaker:

Basically,

Speaker:

what you describe as what the Marxists and

Speaker:

socialists were doing with humanism and

Speaker:

collectivism was basically the same as a

Speaker:

civilizational jihad.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

It is a civilizational jihad against the

Speaker:

West, against Christendom.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

The most important thing that they knew

Speaker:

they had to do, as I said,

Speaker:

is to attack God and Christianity and

Speaker:

needed to get it out of the schools.

Speaker:

And they pushed this movement to say that

Speaker:

religion has no place in public schools.

Speaker:

And back in,

Speaker:

I had it written down here,

Speaker:

A man by the name of Charles Potter

Speaker:

wrote a book called Humanism,

Speaker:

a New Religion.

Speaker:

So interestingly enough,

Speaker:

that they said God has no place in

Speaker:

our schools.

Speaker:

And in nineteen sixty in the early

Speaker:

nineteen sixties,

Speaker:

the Supreme Court upheld that having a

Speaker:

Bible and prayer in schools was

Speaker:

unconstitutional.

Speaker:

So they were able to.

Speaker:

That's how long it took from the eighteen

Speaker:

twenties.

Speaker:

until nineteen sixty that they were able

Speaker:

to finally get what they wanted and that

Speaker:

was to get christianity out of the schools

Speaker:

right in the name of getting religion out

Speaker:

of schools right only to insert a religion

Speaker:

and two religions actually because islam

Speaker:

is taught in schools so they were able

Speaker:

to successfully push uh the entrance of

Speaker:

islam as a history subject as a world

Speaker:

religion subject but christianity is not

Speaker:

taught the same way that islam was taught

Speaker:

You can't even,

Speaker:

you'll get fired as a teacher.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

You'll get fired as a coach.

Speaker:

Kids aren't allowed to pray.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

So, but the...

Speaker:

The overwhelming theme,

Speaker:

I see a lot of people,

Speaker:

a couple of people got upset at my

Speaker:

latest clip that I posted for my podcast

Speaker:

with Pastor Jack about Sharia.

Speaker:

And so I wanted to clarify something.

Speaker:

So people are saying, no,

Speaker:

we can ban Sharia because it's seditious.

Speaker:

It's treasonous.

Speaker:

It's just not compatible with U.S.

Speaker:

law.

Speaker:

And so I wanted to specify that what

Speaker:

I did in...

Speaker:

to a certain extent in the podcast too,

Speaker:

is that Sharia encompasses everything a

Speaker:

Muslim does.

Speaker:

So the way that he prays,

Speaker:

a woman's hijab,

Speaker:

everything that a person does,

Speaker:

fasting Ramadan, is encompassed in Sharia.

Speaker:

So as of now, the way the U.S.

Speaker:

Constitution,

Speaker:

we're not even talking about the

Speaker:

establishment clause,

Speaker:

we're talking about the free exercise of

Speaker:

religion in the First Amendment,

Speaker:

is that people are allowed to practice

Speaker:

their religion freely.

Speaker:

The government cannot stop religious

Speaker:

practices unless it has it passes strict

Speaker:

scrutiny,

Speaker:

meaning it has to have an overwhelming

Speaker:

reason why it stops it.

Speaker:

So what we're what we're going to talk

Speaker:

about is what laws in Sharia that the

Speaker:

U.S.

Speaker:

government at the state and federal level

Speaker:

can stop.

Speaker:

There are giant chunks of it that we

Speaker:

can stop,

Speaker:

but just the mantra ban Sharia is not

Speaker:

practical the way our U.S.

Speaker:

laws are constructed.

Speaker:

And that is why Governor Abbott's law

Speaker:

that's called an anti-Sharia legislation

Speaker:

is facially wrong.

Speaker:

neutral, read the law.

Speaker:

There is no mention of Sharia in that

Speaker:

law.

Speaker:

He calls it an anti-Sharia law because

Speaker:

that's why he wanted to impose it.

Speaker:

But that's not.

Speaker:

But inside the legislation,

Speaker:

it does not include any specific mention

Speaker:

of Islam because that would get struck

Speaker:

down as unconstitutional.

Speaker:

So it's actually quite a clever

Speaker:

legislation and exists, I think,

Speaker:

now in fourteen other states.

Speaker:

So we'll talk a little bit more about

Speaker:

that.

Speaker:

But

Speaker:

most importantly as christians we cannot

Speaker:

rely on the federal government to solve

Speaker:

all of our problems we cannot you know

Speaker:

trump is not going to solve all of

Speaker:

our problems and we have to have a

Speaker:

ground game and it's really important for

Speaker:

the church for christian families to build

Speaker:

a ground game rooted in truth encourage

Speaker:

and biblical clarity okay

Speaker:

So first.

Speaker:

This is your wheelhouse.

Speaker:

I'm gonna let you take this for a

Speaker:

bit.

Speaker:

well it applies to both right yeah so

Speaker:

um not this part but yeah well i

Speaker:

mean if they when they call it a

Speaker:

religion so the establishment clause

Speaker:

versus religious freedom we talked about

Speaker:

that briefly briefly but the whole um

Speaker:

twisting the removal of scripture and the

Speaker:

bible from schools went way too far the

Speaker:

establishment clause was that government

Speaker:

should not establish a religion so we're

Speaker:

not supposed to have a state religion

Speaker:

but it was not intended by the drafters

Speaker:

to ban religion.

Speaker:

It was just the state wasn't supposed to

Speaker:

implement a state-mandated religion.

Speaker:

Just real quick,

Speaker:

I want to help Corrine out.

Speaker:

Sorry,

Speaker:

I was reading her name and trying to

Speaker:

say her real name.

Speaker:

Corrine,

Speaker:

just underneath the video that you're

Speaker:

watching right now,

Speaker:

there should be a share button.

Speaker:

Just click on that share button and the

Speaker:

link should come up and you can post

Speaker:

it on your Facebook page.

Speaker:

or in a text message.

Speaker:

Okay, so if we misunderstand our rights,

Speaker:

then we will never use them.

Speaker:

So if we think we do not have

Speaker:

the right to talk about religion because

Speaker:

of the establishment clause,

Speaker:

then we've lost the game.

Speaker:

Because we absolutely, as citizens,

Speaker:

can talk about religion all we want.

Speaker:

And we can advocate for our religion all

Speaker:

we want.

Speaker:

Just look at what the Muslims are doing.

Speaker:

And so,

Speaker:

as I said in the podcast too,

Speaker:

we can't blame them for wanting to defeat

Speaker:

us.

Speaker:

The problem is we're not doing enough

Speaker:

ourselves in response.

Speaker:

So we've drafted, you know,

Speaker:

several ideas for because I've gotten tons

Speaker:

of comments and questions asking me,

Speaker:

as I stated earlier,

Speaker:

about what they can do in response.

Speaker:

So we wanted to lay some of those

Speaker:

out.

Speaker:

Federal leadership,

Speaker:

you want to talk about that a little

Speaker:

bit about what their priorities are and

Speaker:

why we can't expect the federal government

Speaker:

to lead?

Speaker:

No, I think you should take that.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

You're more federal, I'm more state.

Speaker:

So federal priorities are always economic.

Speaker:

They're not moral.

Speaker:

We're not expecting the federal government

Speaker:

to implement Christian values.

Speaker:

That's the establishment clause.

Speaker:

So we do not expect our federal government

Speaker:

to implement moral laws.

Speaker:

When you look at the Trump administration,

Speaker:

it's dollars and cents.

Speaker:

When you look at our State Department,

Speaker:

it's dollars and cents, diplomacy.

Speaker:

What can we give to get something we

Speaker:

want?

Speaker:

So it's not up to them to empower

Speaker:

Christians in this country.

Speaker:

It's really up to us.

Speaker:

And most of these cultural and spiritual

Speaker:

battles are won locally.

Speaker:

And that's why what we do locally is

Speaker:

so tremendously important.

Speaker:

Well,

Speaker:

just now I can add to that is

Speaker:

that one of the biggest issues that they

Speaker:

found in changing our education was this

Speaker:

sexual issue all the way back in the

Speaker:

early nineteen hundreds.

Speaker:

Knowing that if they could bring a.

Speaker:

A breakup of the moral culture of

Speaker:

Christianity.

Speaker:

The way to do that was through sexuality

Speaker:

because it's all over the Bible,

Speaker:

number one.

Speaker:

Doesn't Pastor Bob always say that

Speaker:

idolatry follows sexual sin?

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And continuing to lower the grade where

Speaker:

sexual education and bringing in sexual

Speaker:

books and ideologies into even math,

Speaker:

even into history,

Speaker:

is the way that they are

Speaker:

indoctrinating the kids by opening up that

Speaker:

little door i talked about this before

Speaker:

this window of uh into their brain so

Speaker:

that they could stick as much

Speaker:

indoctrination in and once you start to do

Speaker:

that and that's why it's getting all the

Speaker:

way down to elementary they they do

Speaker:

believe the any the national educators

Speaker:

association believes that sex education

Speaker:

should start in elementary school starting

Speaker:

in kindergarten

Speaker:

um and and it's horrific if you read

Speaker:

some of these sex ed books it's the

Speaker:

most disgusting thing you've ever seen

Speaker:

just talk about we have to stop sex

Speaker:

education altogether because it again it's

Speaker:

getting into a point that is dangerous for

Speaker:

children uh leading into their future

Speaker:

because it just it opens up a door

Speaker:

that is very difficult to close again

Speaker:

that's why the bible talks about it so

Speaker:

much just because it's one thing that

Speaker:

leads to every other sin

Speaker:

And so the NEA,

Speaker:

the National Education Association,

Speaker:

understand it is not, again,

Speaker:

I bring it up,

Speaker:

if I bring up the California Teachers

Speaker:

Association, which is part of the NEA,

Speaker:

they say that I'm attacking teachers.

Speaker:

There are some good teachers,

Speaker:

but they also end up being, I think,

Speaker:

unfortunately,

Speaker:

useful idiots in the sense that they

Speaker:

believe that what the NEA says is

Speaker:

fantastic because they're trained from

Speaker:

their time in university to become a

Speaker:

teacher, to get their credentials.

Speaker:

Because they say they must have

Speaker:

credentials,

Speaker:

which means they must go to these

Speaker:

universities and learn how to indoctrinate

Speaker:

and why it's okay to put sexual issues

Speaker:

in things other than sex education.

Speaker:

In other words, math, reading, history,

Speaker:

science, that they plug that in there.

Speaker:

And so we are late to this game.

Speaker:

And it is rooted now in our education

Speaker:

system and needs to be taken out.

Speaker:

But it has been, we're way behind.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

And it's really strange.

Speaker:

Again, we find this often,

Speaker:

especially with Islam,

Speaker:

is that they don't believe in any of

Speaker:

that stuff.

Speaker:

They don't believe in abortions.

Speaker:

No, and not aborting their kids.

Speaker:

And the LGBTQ,

Speaker:

which is part of the sex education,

Speaker:

that's a huge part of the NEA.

Speaker:

If you go to the NEA's website,

Speaker:

it is mostly about LGBTQ.

Speaker:

It has nothing to do with math, reading,

Speaker:

history, how to think critically.

Speaker:

It's about LGBTQ.

Speaker:

That's their most important topic that

Speaker:

they're on all the time.

Speaker:

And that covers not only sex,

Speaker:

but decreasing Christian procreation.

Speaker:

It's basically discouraging kids to want

Speaker:

to have children by being with somebody in

Speaker:

the same sex.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

And so that's why our reproduction rate is

Speaker:

like one point four or one point eight

Speaker:

or something nowadays.

Speaker:

The most important thing for them when

Speaker:

they started this back again in the early

Speaker:

nineteen hundreds and late eighteen

Speaker:

hundreds was that they knew that it would

Speaker:

destroy the nuclear family.

Speaker:

That was that was the goal.

Speaker:

And they knew that all the way back

Speaker:

then.

Speaker:

I know we're just hearing about it now.

Speaker:

And I thought it was just a new

Speaker:

thing.

Speaker:

Again, five years ago,

Speaker:

I thought this is just something came up

Speaker:

with through CRT.

Speaker:

um um but now this is something they

Speaker:

just keep changing these acronyms and it's

Speaker:

all the same stuff scl is even worse

Speaker:

social emotional learning it is worse than

Speaker:

crt if we were able to ban crt

Speaker:

and wanted to ban crt we must ban

Speaker:

scl that must get out it is i

Speaker:

heard it described it not exactly this way

Speaker:

but it's like a plucked heart is really

Speaker:

tasty

Speaker:

to kids,

Speaker:

but they're putting a drop of arsenic on

Speaker:

there.

Speaker:

Now,

Speaker:

maybe the first Pop-Tart isn't going to

Speaker:

kill you,

Speaker:

but it's the eating the Pop-Tarts.

Speaker:

If you eat them on a daily basis,

Speaker:

it slowly destroys you and will eventually

Speaker:

kill you.

Speaker:

And this is what they've been doing.

Speaker:

It's this little bit of poison that they

Speaker:

put in everything, every aspect of school.

Speaker:

And over a period of time,

Speaker:

it just destroys a child.

Speaker:

But they knew that all the way back

Speaker:

then.

Speaker:

This is something that's been going on for

Speaker:

a very long time.

Speaker:

Let's just say hi to our friends.

Speaker:

Sure.

Speaker:

Karine and Carrie and Kelly,

Speaker:

thank you for joining us.

Speaker:

We love having you guys on.

Speaker:

And Spirit Wind View,

Speaker:

thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker:

And Pastor Meany Pants.

Speaker:

That seems like a contradiction, Pastor.

Speaker:

Yes, you can comment.

Speaker:

Yes, you can comment.

Speaker:

And saying he loved the interview with

Speaker:

Bindong.

Speaker:

Thank you so much.

Speaker:

And if you'd like,

Speaker:

you are welcome to send me a message

Speaker:

on Facebook.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Sorry.

Speaker:

Website's down.

Speaker:

Okay, so step one.

Speaker:

This is our ground game, folks.

Speaker:

So step one, as we've been talking,

Speaker:

get educated.

Speaker:

Andy's been diving deep.

Speaker:

You know, as he said,

Speaker:

he thought this started, you know,

Speaker:

twenty years ago or thirty years ago,

Speaker:

and it's been over a hundred year project.

Speaker:

Two hundred year project.

Speaker:

Two hundred year project.

Speaker:

Yeah, so...

Speaker:

you want to understand the problem so that

Speaker:

you could adapt your worldview.

Speaker:

So once you understand what's happening

Speaker:

all around you,

Speaker:

then you not only can find vision and

Speaker:

purpose for what your role is and what

Speaker:

you can do about it,

Speaker:

but you also understand the depth of the

Speaker:

problem and the depth of the threat.

Speaker:

And I think it's super, super important.

Speaker:

So-

Speaker:

You also not only wanna understand the

Speaker:

threat,

Speaker:

but you also wanna learn the constitution

Speaker:

and the basics of religious liberty so

Speaker:

that your strategy is tailored around what

Speaker:

is the low hanging fruit,

Speaker:

what are the easy things we can do,

Speaker:

and then eventually what are the more

Speaker:

complicated things to do.

Speaker:

Once we gain strength,

Speaker:

we can implement federal laws that change

Speaker:

the dynamics.

Speaker:

We could possibly pass a belief test

Speaker:

We used to have one in this country

Speaker:

about a belief in God,

Speaker:

a belief in the Judeo-Christian God.

Speaker:

Who knows?

Speaker:

Could that be a possibility?

Speaker:

You never know.

Speaker:

The oath of office,

Speaker:

requiring it be over a Bible,

Speaker:

all these allegiance to America,

Speaker:

reciting American values.

Speaker:

There's all these clever ways at the

Speaker:

federal level we may be able to do

Speaker:

things,

Speaker:

but I think it's more important that we

Speaker:

focus on the local issues that we know

Speaker:

for a fact

Speaker:

A lot of us have been involved for

Speaker:

a while now with the school boards and

Speaker:

realizing that that's just one piece of

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

Yeah,

Speaker:

just a book I just wanted to share

Speaker:

with you.

Speaker:

I did have it last time,

Speaker:

but this is the book I was telling

Speaker:

you about,

Speaker:

Indoctrinating Our Children to Death is

Speaker:

what it's called.

Speaker:

You can see it there fairly well.

Speaker:

Hold on.

Speaker:

It's okay.

Speaker:

Just tell me who wrote it.

Speaker:

Alex Newman.

Speaker:

We're going to keep meaning to tell you

Speaker:

to make sure to get him on our

Speaker:

show as an interview.

Speaker:

But we'll get Alex Newman on to talk

Speaker:

about this.

Speaker:

But he cites a lot of other books.

Speaker:

NEA Trojan Horse is another great book.

Speaker:

But this is a great source of information

Speaker:

because he cites other books and the

Speaker:

writings of the people that are

Speaker:

responsible for doing this to our kids

Speaker:

over the last...

Speaker:

A couple hundred years.

Speaker:

Just a couple of names I want to

Speaker:

give you that he cites in the book

Speaker:

that I really kind of dove into and

Speaker:

even researched a little bit more.

Speaker:

But it starts with Robert Owen,

Speaker:

eighteen twenties.

Speaker:

He's one of the first that really began

Speaker:

to change education, public education.

Speaker:

Horace Mann is another one.

Speaker:

He's also in the late eighteen hundreds

Speaker:

who assisted with Robert Owen's movement

Speaker:

in collectivism and Marxism and communism.

Speaker:

bring it into our school john dewey uh

Speaker:

from nineteen hundred and about nineteen

Speaker:

fifty two was involved in so many aspects

Speaker:

of bringing uh socialism into our schools

Speaker:

and marxism a really important person to

Speaker:

understand what his involvement is and

Speaker:

then more lately is howard zinn

Speaker:

I wanted to go through those names because

Speaker:

those four men,

Speaker:

along with a bunch of other people,

Speaker:

they're not just the only ones,

Speaker:

but they're the primary followers of the

Speaker:

teachers in our education system today.

Speaker:

They will look at these people fondly and

Speaker:

say, yes,

Speaker:

I'm a follower of Horace Mann or I'm

Speaker:

a follower of John Dewey.

Speaker:

We had a school in Beverly Hills named

Speaker:

Horace Mann.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But Howard Zinn, the most recent one,

Speaker:

may be equally as evil as all of

Speaker:

them put together, but even more so.

Speaker:

And the NEA just put out a press

Speaker:

release that they are adopting all of

Speaker:

Howard Zinn's teachings into their into

Speaker:

their support system for public education

Speaker:

throughout the United States.

Speaker:

And those are just some names I want

Speaker:

you to be aware of.

Speaker:

You can begin looking them up.

Speaker:

Again,

Speaker:

if you go to things like ChatGPT or

Speaker:

maybe even Grok a little bit,

Speaker:

they don't necessarily... They go, oh,

Speaker:

he was a humanitarian.

Speaker:

And they'll say that he was a professor

Speaker:

and all these kinds of things.

Speaker:

But when you really dive into their

Speaker:

writings...

Speaker:

and their studies and the things that they

Speaker:

implemented into schools,

Speaker:

you will begin to see the evils when

Speaker:

you see what it is they're truly doing.

Speaker:

Because quite often,

Speaker:

like many of the liberals in our politics,

Speaker:

they give things a really beautiful name,

Speaker:

like social emotional learning.

Speaker:

Sounds great, right?

Speaker:

But it's not.

Speaker:

It's more evil than critical race theory.

Speaker:

It is worse than that.

Speaker:

And why is it bad?

Speaker:

Because it's a it's a matter of sprinkling

Speaker:

in the socialist Marxism,

Speaker:

humanist things in all of the subjects and

Speaker:

teaching kids that they are all equal in

Speaker:

the sense that it needs to be a,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

we all need to be the same and

Speaker:

one world religion, not of God.

Speaker:

Uh, uh, it's a,

Speaker:

it's a one thing they also through SEL

Speaker:

is they keep data on our kids so

Speaker:

that they know everything that they do,

Speaker:

everything they think,

Speaker:

everything they like,

Speaker:

everything that they want to do.

Speaker:

And they use that to push more

Speaker:

manipulation into our schools,

Speaker:

to get them to believe that parents are

Speaker:

evil, um, that America is horrible.

Speaker:

And it just goes on and on after

Speaker:

that.

Speaker:

But it's just it's it's just worse in

Speaker:

many ways.

Speaker:

OK,

Speaker:

so Pastor Meany Pants telling us his name

Speaker:

is Dean Elder.

Speaker:

Nice to meet you, Dean.

Speaker:

And he knows Dean.

Speaker:

That's awesome.

Speaker:

And asks us if we know Pastor James

Speaker:

Caddis.

Speaker:

I do not know.

Speaker:

So, yeah,

Speaker:

everyone can reach out to us through

Speaker:

Facebook Messenger or Instagram.

Speaker:

So the next one,

Speaker:

so after we learn and we understand and

Speaker:

we educate,

Speaker:

really important to show up to city

Speaker:

council meetings.

Speaker:

So we've been bugging people to go to

Speaker:

school board meetings,

Speaker:

but don't neglect your city council

Speaker:

meetings.

Speaker:

And I have a wonderful example to tell

Speaker:

you.

Speaker:

There is a lady who, by happenstance,

Speaker:

went to a...

Speaker:

Meeting at the city council,

Speaker:

because they were planning to build roads

Speaker:

in her horse neighborhood.

Speaker:

So she wanted to stop the roads that

Speaker:

would take away the ability to ride the

Speaker:

horses.

Speaker:

And lo and behold at the meeting,

Speaker:

they say that the planning commission

Speaker:

unanimously approved a plan for a new

Speaker:

mosque.

Speaker:

And she said.

Speaker:

You know,

Speaker:

I have met maybe five Muslim doctors in

Speaker:

this town.

Speaker:

I've lived in this town forever and I

Speaker:

really have not seen any Muslims.

Speaker:

And she's like,

Speaker:

I don't understand why we suddenly have

Speaker:

this ginormous mosque going up in the

Speaker:

middle of our town.

Speaker:

And so she did a little digging and

Speaker:

found that there is a developer that

Speaker:

bought the nineteen acres all around this

Speaker:

property that's that's been approved for

Speaker:

the mosque.

Speaker:

And so.

Speaker:

we've talked before about how important it

Speaker:

is to understand these problems before

Speaker:

they happen because at this stage now she

Speaker:

can start mobilizing her local community

Speaker:

to say okay let's make sure now the

Speaker:

planning commission part is over but they

Speaker:

can put pressure on the planning committee

Speaker:

to make sure

Speaker:

that every I is dotted and every T

Speaker:

is crossed.

Speaker:

In other words,

Speaker:

that they abide by ADA codes,

Speaker:

parking codes,

Speaker:

the requirements for inside the building,

Speaker:

the engineering codes.

Speaker:

In other words,

Speaker:

make it very difficult for them to

Speaker:

continue to build.

Speaker:

next question, who owns that land?

Speaker:

What is the pressure on that individual?

Speaker:

Are they going to get permits?

Speaker:

Who are they going to sell it to?

Speaker:

And he's selling them off in one acre

Speaker:

parcels.

Speaker:

But basically,

Speaker:

if you see some of these clips on

Speaker:

social media about what's happened at

Speaker:

Hamtrak City Council meetings or Dearborn

Speaker:

City Council meetings or in Texas,

Speaker:

they often are going viral.

Speaker:

So in other words, there are

Speaker:

millions of people who see the average mom

Speaker:

or dad stand up at the podium one

Speaker:

in dearborn with a pastor and say listen

Speaker:

i don't want to hear the call to

Speaker:

the muslim call to prayer five o'clock in

Speaker:

the morning i don't want to go in

Speaker:

my trash can because they're you know

Speaker:

they're being allowed to sacrifice animals

Speaker:

because of the holidays the islamic

Speaker:

holidays so all of these things

Speaker:

The reason this stuff is getting through

Speaker:

and it's taking over entire neighborhoods

Speaker:

in the United States is because nobody's

Speaker:

paying attention.

Speaker:

Nobody's going.

Speaker:

Nobody's participating.

Speaker:

So it's really important to start finding

Speaker:

out what's actually happening in your town

Speaker:

through those city council meetings.

Speaker:

I think that one of the biggest problems

Speaker:

in Hamtrak and Dearborn is that because

Speaker:

the mayors are Muslim,

Speaker:

and the chief of police is either Muslim

Speaker:

or Muslim friendly,

Speaker:

that they're only enforcing the law when

Speaker:

it comes to Christians and not enforcing

Speaker:

law when it comes to Islam.

Speaker:

If somebody were to play Brandon Lake on

Speaker:

their car radio too loud,

Speaker:

they would be cited

Speaker:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker:

A lot of people have been arrested for

Speaker:

just attending the protests.

Speaker:

And there it is an absolute unequal

Speaker:

application of the law.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

That is happening.

Speaker:

Thank you for correcting me because you're

Speaker:

absolutely right.

Speaker:

And I knew that,

Speaker:

but I just fumbled it.

Speaker:

Yeah, there's that extra... Hamtramck,

Speaker:

Hamtramck.

Speaker:

There's that extra... Yeah, it could be.

Speaker:

Oh, boy.

Speaker:

Okay,

Speaker:

so supporting what is being called

Speaker:

anti-sharia legislation.

Speaker:

So whether you live in a state that

Speaker:

does have it... Sorry,

Speaker:

I can't rattle off all fourteen states

Speaker:

from the top of my head.

Speaker:

But basically,

Speaker:

it's legislation that says...

Speaker:

There's no contracts that can be enforced

Speaker:

or agreements between people that will be

Speaker:

enforced by U.S.

Speaker:

courts that contravene U.S.

Speaker:

law.

Speaker:

So in other words,

Speaker:

a Muslim couple gets married.

Speaker:

The guy decides he's going to dump his

Speaker:

wife after thirty years.

Speaker:

And he says,

Speaker:

I don't have to go to a civil

Speaker:

court because in my contract she says she

Speaker:

gets nothing and she gets her dowry,

Speaker:

her mahar, which is a hundred dollars.

Speaker:

And then she's forced to just leave with

Speaker:

nothing after thirty years.

Speaker:

And he takes the kids.

Speaker:

You know, if you have small kids,

Speaker:

she's lost rights to her kids.

Speaker:

So the anti-sharia legislation are

Speaker:

basically saying that's not enforceable.

Speaker:

So she can apply to a U.S.

Speaker:

court and say,

Speaker:

I have an unconscionable contract that was

Speaker:

based on sharia.

Speaker:

I want my rights enforced.

Speaker:

Hugely important.

Speaker:

Hugely important.

Speaker:

So these legislations are a way to make

Speaker:

sure that the U.S.

Speaker:

courts are enforcing U.S.

Speaker:

law and they're not following sharia law.

Speaker:

Now,

Speaker:

is there the same problem when you get

Speaker:

into those courts?

Speaker:

Because I've appeared in Minneapolis,

Speaker:

Minnesota,

Speaker:

and they didn't like me because I was

Speaker:

conservative.

Speaker:

But what I was testifying to had nothing

Speaker:

to do with politics.

Speaker:

It had to do with the training of

Speaker:

police dogs.

Speaker:

But they didn't want to even listen to

Speaker:

me and found against me,

Speaker:

mostly because of who I was.

Speaker:

They're going to find themselves going to

Speaker:

court and losing probably in that

Speaker:

jurisdiction.

Speaker:

So they almost always have to appeal to

Speaker:

get to a district court and then to

Speaker:

the Supreme Court.

Speaker:

So that's the point of the legislation to

Speaker:

avoid the unequal application of the law.

Speaker:

So they create a legislation so that she

Speaker:

can go into court and say,

Speaker:

according to code two, four, six, six,

Speaker:

you can't enforce this contract.

Speaker:

So for the judge to go against it,

Speaker:

the judge is going against what we call

Speaker:

black letter law.

Speaker:

It's not case law.

Speaker:

They don't have an opinion.

Speaker:

They're going against black letter law,

Speaker:

which can be easily overturned on appeal.

Speaker:

So that's the whole purpose of codifying

Speaker:

these restrictions so that people don't

Speaker:

have to go individually.

Speaker:

And they have been going.

Speaker:

And they're like,

Speaker:

every time they go and they submit this,

Speaker:

they're like, well,

Speaker:

you signed the contract.

Speaker:

So it's enforceable.

Speaker:

We don't dictate terms of individual

Speaker:

contracts and many lost in court.

Speaker:

So that's why Texas and other states put

Speaker:

the law so that the courts would not

Speaker:

enforce those agreements.

Speaker:

They're considered in contravention of

Speaker:

U.S.

Speaker:

law.

Speaker:

Fantastic.

Speaker:

Yeah, it really is.

Speaker:

It really is huge.

Speaker:

I know people hate Governor Abbott for all

Speaker:

the grants he's given to Islamic schools,

Speaker:

and I still can't figure out what grant

Speaker:

program that is.

Speaker:

I still have to continue digging.

Speaker:

But nonetheless,

Speaker:

this is an important step.

Speaker:

Is there some type of appeasement he's

Speaker:

trying to do because he's coming down on

Speaker:

them on one thing?

Speaker:

No,

Speaker:

I don't think he's in charge of the

Speaker:

grants.

Speaker:

Hmm.

Speaker:

So the grant programs I know,

Speaker:

because I've applied for a gazillion of

Speaker:

them, I funded my entire career on these,

Speaker:

are facially neutral.

Speaker:

So you can't,

Speaker:

the person who's approving the grants is

Speaker:

not the governor.

Speaker:

So again, you have like deep state issues,

Speaker:

right?

Speaker:

So you have deep state people in Texas

Speaker:

that are going through these applications

Speaker:

and they're like, well,

Speaker:

they're applying for food programs or

Speaker:

they're applying for school textbooks or

Speaker:

feeding the homeless.

Speaker:

And we can't discriminate against this

Speaker:

person because they've agreed not to

Speaker:

proselytize during their humanitarian

Speaker:

work.

Speaker:

Or through their, you know,

Speaker:

their school system.

Speaker:

So like, for example,

Speaker:

the grant can be to teach social emotional

Speaker:

learning.

Speaker:

So right.

Speaker:

So the feds in the state are pushing

Speaker:

social emotional learning.

Speaker:

And Islamic school says,

Speaker:

give me three hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker:

I'm going to educate my private school on

Speaker:

social emotional learning.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

But what they do with that money is

Speaker:

completely different.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

So like what they do in California.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And if you people may not recall this,

Speaker:

but when Trump came in the first time,

Speaker:

he stopped a bunch of grants that were

Speaker:

going to Islamic centers and it created a

Speaker:

huge uproar because they were approved by

Speaker:

Department of Homeland Security.

Speaker:

They were already allocated and he stopped

Speaker:

them.

Speaker:

And so he had to give an overriding

Speaker:

response on why he was stopping them.

Speaker:

And some of them did not get stopped.

Speaker:

So they were going around,

Speaker:

so they claimed in the grant application

Speaker:

that they were educating the public on

Speaker:

public safety threats.

Speaker:

So, again, facially neutral,

Speaker:

nothing to do with Islam.

Speaker:

We're educating on public safety.

Speaker:

So they had to argue,

Speaker:

why was this organization no longer

Speaker:

qualified to receive those grants?

Speaker:

It's a very difficult process.

Speaker:

So he can't publicly say,

Speaker:

I will not let any Muslim organization get

Speaker:

a grant for social emotional learning.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Because then that becomes discrimination.

Speaker:

All they have to do is file suit

Speaker:

in court and it'll be overturned.

Speaker:

So he has to come up with a

Speaker:

facially neutral way of disqualifying

Speaker:

them.

Speaker:

Hence why he banned the Brotherhood and

Speaker:

CARE,

Speaker:

because with his terrorist organization on

Speaker:

CARE and the Brotherhood,

Speaker:

he could say that organization is now

Speaker:

disqualified because they're connected to

Speaker:

a FTO.

Speaker:

So now he can go back.

Speaker:

So now he has a mechanism to say,

Speaker:

I can stop the funding to the Islamic

Speaker:

Center of Texas because they are part of

Speaker:

the Brotherhood.

Speaker:

But he's going to have to prove it.

Speaker:

And then he's going to have to get

Speaker:

his deep state people to follow it.

Speaker:

So it's not easy,

Speaker:

but there's a lot of pressure on him

Speaker:

to fix it.

Speaker:

So hopefully he's going to come.

Speaker:

And I think that's why he's moving step

Speaker:

by step doing each of these things,

Speaker:

because I really think he wants to try

Speaker:

to stop it.

Speaker:

An FTO, a foreign terrorist organization.

Speaker:

Yes,

Speaker:

FTO is a foreign terrorist organization.

Speaker:

Just in case somebody didn't know what

Speaker:

that was.

Speaker:

So as we've been saying forever and a

Speaker:

day, engaging school boards,

Speaker:

challenging them on teaching Islam in the

Speaker:

curriculum.

Speaker:

So many kids have talked about how in

Speaker:

elementary school or in high school,

Speaker:

they're in history class or in religion

Speaker:

class.

Speaker:

They don't have a religion class.

Speaker:

It's usually in a history class.

Speaker:

They're taught Islam.

Speaker:

They're not taught Christianity,

Speaker:

but they're taught Islam.

Speaker:

So not only are we fighting boys and

Speaker:

girls sports,

Speaker:

not only are we fighting social,

Speaker:

emotional learning and CRT,

Speaker:

but we have to start fighting the teaching

Speaker:

of Islam and curriculum at our public

Speaker:

schools.

Speaker:

And I got to say,

Speaker:

socialism is a religion.

Speaker:

It's just a religion.

Speaker:

It's just it's it's that it's the religion

Speaker:

is that there's no God that they worship.

Speaker:

that the government is God.

Speaker:

The government will take care of all your

Speaker:

needs,

Speaker:

will make sure and share all of your

Speaker:

property equally.

Speaker:

You don't own anything.

Speaker:

If you have a bicycle on your block,

Speaker:

then the neighbor could come and use your

Speaker:

bicycle if he wants to.

Speaker:

That's actually communism,

Speaker:

but socialism turns into communism,

Speaker:

just so you know.

Speaker:

It is really important to be involved in

Speaker:

the schools in so many different ways.

Speaker:

And that is to go to the school

Speaker:

board meetings and listen to what's going

Speaker:

on, the nonsense that's happening.

Speaker:

Many teachers are showing up.

Speaker:

Many retired teachers are showing up as

Speaker:

representatives of the California Teachers

Speaker:

Association here in California.

Speaker:

or the National Educators Association and

Speaker:

seeing who's in there.

Speaker:

The same people show up all the time

Speaker:

and they're all fighting the same stuff.

Speaker:

And unfortunately,

Speaker:

one of the worst right now is my

Speaker:

son's elementary school teacher.

Speaker:

And I keep the pressure on knowing what

Speaker:

she's giving the kids to read.

Speaker:

Excuse me.

Speaker:

Also make sure and just find issues that

Speaker:

you find that you want to know more

Speaker:

about.

Speaker:

And through the Public Records Act,

Speaker:

you can request all the communications,

Speaker:

all the emails, all the curriculum,

Speaker:

and just send it through an email.

Speaker:

And you could go on to something like

Speaker:

GROK and say,

Speaker:

I want to write this letter,

Speaker:

a public records account.

Speaker:

Write it for me.

Speaker:

Thirty seconds, guys.

Speaker:

Literally,

Speaker:

it'll write it for you in a very

Speaker:

professional way and ask for all the

Speaker:

emails,

Speaker:

any communications regarding certain

Speaker:

issues.

Speaker:

Right now,

Speaker:

mine happens to be the multimillion dollar

Speaker:

reconstruction of a kitchen that already

Speaker:

exists.

Speaker:

Now it's up to six point three million

Speaker:

dollars at a high school in Placentia.

Speaker:

Apparently,

Speaker:

the Trump people are putting it together.

Speaker:

They're going to put gold.

Speaker:

Everywhere, because how is it that a,

Speaker:

a reconstructed kitchen cost?

Speaker:

Six point?

Speaker:

Three million dollars I've asked again

Speaker:

that you won't get everything just so,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

but it's keeping the pressure on that.

Speaker:

You're watching that.

Speaker:

You want to know what's happening and then

Speaker:

send it right back and say, I requested.

Speaker:

Like, I did, I requested the, you know,

Speaker:

the cost of everything that's going into

Speaker:

this project.

Speaker:

And the bids.

Speaker:

And they refuse to give them to me.

Speaker:

But I'm going to stay on them and

Speaker:

get what it is they need at some

Speaker:

point or learn what it is that's costing

Speaker:

six point three million dollars for

Speaker:

something that exists.

Speaker:

It's a refurbish.

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

They're not buying the land.

Speaker:

They already own the land.

Speaker:

It already exists.

Speaker:

They're not buying a new building.

Speaker:

They're taking out walls and pushing

Speaker:

things out a little bit.

Speaker:

But it's not sixteen point six point three

Speaker:

million dollars worth.

Speaker:

And so part of attending the city council

Speaker:

meetings and attending the school board

Speaker:

meetings,

Speaker:

hopefully leads to influencing our

Speaker:

elections locally.

Speaker:

So our ground game,

Speaker:

all of you saw what Charlie Kirk did

Speaker:

for President Trump in order to win that

Speaker:

election,

Speaker:

along with Laura Trump and so many others

Speaker:

that were involved in that ground game.

Speaker:

It is getting people involved,

Speaker:

not only to vote,

Speaker:

but also getting Christ-centered

Speaker:

candidates,

Speaker:

getting people to actually run for these

Speaker:

offices

Speaker:

We're in a knockout,

Speaker:

dragout fight in Placentia or Belinda.

Speaker:

School districts across this country are

Speaker:

in a big fight.

Speaker:

So we have to have people willing to

Speaker:

give their talent and their treasure.

Speaker:

So we have to be investing in campaigns,

Speaker:

creating packs that will fund these

Speaker:

campaigns, fund ads, because...

Speaker:

We're up against the NEA.

Speaker:

We're up against Apple.

Speaker:

We're up against these giant organizations

Speaker:

and the Brotherhood lobby.

Speaker:

So Mamdani won, you know,

Speaker:

he had three hundred and fifty thousand

Speaker:

plus that we know of directly coming from

Speaker:

CARE sponsored PACs.

Speaker:

CARE being the Council on American Islamic

Speaker:

Relations.

Speaker:

And.

Speaker:

Yeah, Dean Dean mentions his care and.

Speaker:

Islamic Society of North America,

Speaker:

Muslim American Society, actually,

Speaker:

they all come out of the brotherhood.

Speaker:

So they had different focuses,

Speaker:

different original board members.

Speaker:

Some of them, a lot of them, overlapped.

Speaker:

They all worked together.

Speaker:

If you've heard my story before,

Speaker:

when I came to D.C.

Speaker:

in nineteen ninety eight,

Speaker:

we hosted this conference and we mentioned

Speaker:

that bin Laden was recruiting for an

Speaker:

attack against America.

Speaker:

We were banned by all five national Muslim

Speaker:

organizations.

Speaker:

And it was horrific.

Speaker:

It was a really dark time because we

Speaker:

couldn't shop in grocery stores.

Speaker:

We were kicked out of local Islamic

Speaker:

centers.

Speaker:

I was Muslim at the time.

Speaker:

And we got banned by the State Department

Speaker:

for imposing what they considered to be a

Speaker:

specter bazaar.

Speaker:

And so all of these organizations have

Speaker:

been working as fronts for the Brotherhood

Speaker:

for a very long time.

Speaker:

A lot of that came out during the

Speaker:

Holy Land Foundation trial in two thousand

Speaker:

six.

Speaker:

I can't I can't remember the date it

Speaker:

actually started.

Speaker:

But was resolved, I believe,

Speaker:

in two thousand and seven.

Speaker:

One other thing that just came to mind

Speaker:

is that,

Speaker:

and I know we're jumping from Islam to

Speaker:

socialism to communism.

Speaker:

It's all the isms that if you believe

Speaker:

that your kids are being taught something

Speaker:

that goes against your religious beliefs,

Speaker:

then the mood.

Speaker:

Uh,

Speaker:

ruling and there's another one that's

Speaker:

escaping me right now.

Speaker:

I was trying to remember the name of

Speaker:

it,

Speaker:

but there's two rulings out there that you

Speaker:

can.

Speaker:

Opt your kids out of those classes.

Speaker:

Now, are they going to deny you?

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Because you have to prove that you have

Speaker:

a specific religiosity about you.

Speaker:

And I'm not sure how they get to

Speaker:

that point.

Speaker:

Like, what do I have to do?

Speaker:

Take you by Bible with lines underneath

Speaker:

certain scripture?

Speaker:

I'm not sure what it is they got

Speaker:

to do.

Speaker:

But opt your kids out and just do

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

So many people are worried about...

Speaker:

You know,

Speaker:

making a ruckus or their neighbors might

Speaker:

find out,

Speaker:

or it were beyond worrying about what

Speaker:

other people think when it comes to our

Speaker:

kids when it comes to what our neighbors

Speaker:

think about us that they think we're mega

Speaker:

or they think we're was a Christian

Speaker:

nationalist.

Speaker:

um beyond that yeah it's too late um

Speaker:

to be worrying about that kind of stuff

Speaker:

go in there and make a ruckus and

Speaker:

say i don't want my child in this

Speaker:

class because of the the books that are

Speaker:

being presented it goes against my

Speaker:

religious beliefs and my child's religious

Speaker:

beliefs and opt out of these things again

Speaker:

you may be able to get your kids

Speaker:

out of those types of situations they may

Speaker:

deny you but then take it to the

Speaker:

next level after that and that's the only

Speaker:

way that we're going to affect what's

Speaker:

happening in our schools absolutely

Speaker:

So the next one is rallies and public

Speaker:

witness.

Speaker:

There are certain rallies popping up,

Speaker:

especially in Dearborn,

Speaker:

most recently with Cam Higbee slapping

Speaker:

bacon onto the Koran,

Speaker:

trying to burn the Koran.

Speaker:

I really don't think our power is

Speaker:

demonstrated that way necessarily.

Speaker:

I actually wrote an article about one of

Speaker:

the members of that rally speaking quite

Speaker:

eloquently and articulately at the city

Speaker:

council meeting,

Speaker:

which I thought was brilliant.

Speaker:

But in the rallies,

Speaker:

we should merge what Sean Foyt is doing

Speaker:

in his Jesus Takes a City with

Speaker:

Patriotism.

Speaker:

So, you know, singing hymns,

Speaker:

carrying flags,

Speaker:

talking about Christian unity,

Speaker:

being I mean, not that we're afraid,

Speaker:

but just showing this the power of our

Speaker:

faith and the power of who we are

Speaker:

in Christ.

Speaker:

And we're strong, we're courageous,

Speaker:

we're faithful, we're spiritual,

Speaker:

we're loving, we're we're.

Speaker:

proud of who we are and do them

Speaker:

in cities across America.

Speaker:

I was telling Andy that the movement in

Speaker:

England, there's a new branch, of course,

Speaker:

everybody knows what Tommy Robinson is

Speaker:

doing,

Speaker:

but there's now called Fly the Colors.

Speaker:

And so they created this campaign,

Speaker:

they put their talent and treasure behind

Speaker:

it,

Speaker:

and they're basically advocating for

Speaker:

putting the British flag all over the

Speaker:

country.

Speaker:

on your grocery store, down the street,

Speaker:

in front of your house,

Speaker:

just constantly flying the colors.

Speaker:

And it's created a huge firestorm because

Speaker:

people say that's racist.

Speaker:

They're like, how is the flag racist?

Speaker:

What am I doing that's racist?

Speaker:

I'm uniting British people.

Speaker:

You're Pakistani?

Speaker:

Are you British?

Speaker:

Then you're with us.

Speaker:

And so it's this very like facially

Speaker:

neutral campaign that's about patriotism.

Speaker:

But because of all of the blowback

Speaker:

it gains international attention.

Speaker:

And again, that's something we want.

Speaker:

That's the kind of attention we want that,

Speaker:

Hey, we're not doing anything that's,

Speaker:

that's evil or malicious.

Speaker:

We're just asking for national pride.

Speaker:

And I think it's a,

Speaker:

it's a really good strategy for us here

Speaker:

too.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

Point is false.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I'm just talking about his big rallies.

Speaker:

I just see a bunch of, you know,

Speaker:

I have no idea what his doctrine is.

Speaker:

I'm just talking about like just him

Speaker:

worshiping with a thousand people on the

Speaker:

street.

Speaker:

Uh, uh, conference and training.

Speaker:

Uh, I went to a worldview conference.

Speaker:

I wish there was a thousand people there,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

in Tennessee is that I really encourage

Speaker:

you all to watch worldview tube.com.

Speaker:

Brandon house.

Speaker:

Uh, people have emailed me.

Speaker:

How do I get educated?

Speaker:

And I was like, you need three channels.

Speaker:

One hours, of course.

Speaker:

And you can tell which topic you want

Speaker:

to cover by the titles.

Speaker:

Raymond Ibrahim.

Speaker:

Also, he has a YouTube channel.

Speaker:

And Brandon House, worldviewtube.com.

Speaker:

Get educated quick.

Speaker:

Brandon talks about all the same issues we

Speaker:

do, both left and, you know,

Speaker:

the Islamic issues and the communist

Speaker:

socialist issues, the globalist issues.

Speaker:

A lot of people calling it the red,

Speaker:

green,

Speaker:

blue alliance because the blue is the

Speaker:

globalists.

Speaker:

And it's just, we need more of them.

Speaker:

We need, you know,

Speaker:

people have asked me to come and speak

Speaker:

at their local church.

Speaker:

And I'm like, you know,

Speaker:

can we get other churches involved?

Speaker:

We need to do these kind of joint

Speaker:

conferences around the country,

Speaker:

just educating people kind of, again,

Speaker:

what Charlie was doing.

Speaker:

I said on Pastor Jack's podcast that it

Speaker:

came to me.

Speaker:

I felt like the spirit told me in

Speaker:

the middle of that meeting that Charlie

Speaker:

was really taken out because of his ground

Speaker:

game.

Speaker:

And I think he had enemies on all

Speaker:

sides because he was building this

Speaker:

movement that was going to shape the

Speaker:

twenty twenty six election.

Speaker:

He had built a massive army and they

Speaker:

didn't they didn't want him to succeed

Speaker:

again.

Speaker:

And so we need to follow that model.

Speaker:

Conferences, rallies, student events,

Speaker:

creating college campus.

Speaker:

And I don't care what anybody, whatever,

Speaker:

it doesn't have to be TPUSA on campus,

Speaker:

whatever people's opinion of that is.

Speaker:

But Christian clubs,

Speaker:

student activism clubs, patriot clubs.

Speaker:

I started the Young Republicans on my high

Speaker:

school campus.

Speaker:

Whatever it takes to just show the other

Speaker:

side, the Christian side,

Speaker:

the patriotic side.

Speaker:

I'd like to see it be Christian patriots,

Speaker:

but we need a ground game.

Speaker:

And do what you can to talk to

Speaker:

your pastors.

Speaker:

I know before Charlie's death,

Speaker:

many pastors were reluctant.

Speaker:

to talk about anything that they were told

Speaker:

was political.

Speaker:

But everything, our life is political.

Speaker:

Being Christian is political now.

Speaker:

And it probably has been for many years,

Speaker:

as we know.

Speaker:

Like I said,

Speaker:

the Supreme Court said that it's

Speaker:

unconstitutional.

Speaker:

The Bible is a religion in schools,

Speaker:

Christianity in schools.

Speaker:

And so talk to your pastors, revisit them.

Speaker:

They may be a little bit more opened

Speaker:

up or they may be a little bit

Speaker:

more closed off.

Speaker:

If they're more closed off, then leave.

Speaker:

Go to a different church.

Speaker:

But we know that we've been able to

Speaker:

get some things at our church recently

Speaker:

that may have been frowned on before

Speaker:

Charlie Clark's death.

Speaker:

And we collected ballots during the last

Speaker:

election.

Speaker:

Yeah, it was amazing.

Speaker:

We collected over two hundred fifty

Speaker:

ballots with forty eight hour notice.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And it was it was phenomenal.

Speaker:

And people were so excited.

Speaker:

We have so many elderly parishioners,

Speaker:

whatever.

Speaker:

I don't know if that's a Catholic word,

Speaker:

but people that go to our church.

Speaker:

And they were so excited because they

Speaker:

didn't want to go down to the voting

Speaker:

box and they had no transportation.

Speaker:

It was just phenomenal.

Speaker:

And that took work.

Speaker:

See,

Speaker:

what I've also noticed is a lot of

Speaker:

people are not planted in their church.

Speaker:

And so we gain credibility for these

Speaker:

things by being planted.

Speaker:

If your pastor is extremely resistant to

Speaker:

the point where he tells you you're wrong,

Speaker:

leave that church.

Speaker:

Go plant yourself in a church where you

Speaker:

serve, where you attend,

Speaker:

where you participate,

Speaker:

and then approach elders, the pastor,

Speaker:

junior pastor, worship pastor,

Speaker:

whoever you come across,

Speaker:

people that you see have been in this

Speaker:

church for a long time and be like,

Speaker:

I really am passionate about the issue of

Speaker:

getting involved.

Speaker:

Can we talk about voter ID?

Speaker:

Can we talk about supporting candidates?

Speaker:

Can we create a real impact chapter here?

Speaker:

Can we create a salt and light ministry?

Speaker:

whatever it is to kind of build momentum

Speaker:

in our churches,

Speaker:

because really this ground game will not

Speaker:

succeed without our churches,

Speaker:

unless there's some independent network

Speaker:

that develops

Speaker:

like the Muslims have done,

Speaker:

unless we create five national

Speaker:

organizations that empower Christians,

Speaker:

which I think is what TPUSA is attempting

Speaker:

to do and TPFaith.

Speaker:

But we need to start empowering Christians

Speaker:

with information and with a process by

Speaker:

which they can get involved.

Speaker:

So we're not all doing it by ourselves.

Speaker:

Sorry, I'm looking up something to see.

Speaker:

I didn't check our other website to see

Speaker:

if it's still up.

Speaker:

Oh, see if they took that down too?

Speaker:

Oh, look, it's still working.

Speaker:

Okay,

Speaker:

because I need to send some people there.

Speaker:

Here I am, Lord, send me.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Amen.

Speaker:

Oh,

Speaker:

and you want to put a conference together

Speaker:

in Alabama?

Speaker:

That would be awesome.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Did you hear that?

Speaker:

I love Alabama.

Speaker:

We should definitely be doing that.

Speaker:

And the last step, folks...

Speaker:

Inoculate your children and your

Speaker:

grandchildren and your nieces and nephews

Speaker:

and your godchildren,

Speaker:

whoever you have around you.

Speaker:

As I mentioned,

Speaker:

I had a conversation about socialism with

Speaker:

my daughter.

Speaker:

We talk about the Palestinian issue often.

Speaker:

And it's

Speaker:

It's all around them.

Speaker:

It's everywhere.

Speaker:

And so if they don't understand their

Speaker:

biblical worldview,

Speaker:

if they don't understand what it means to

Speaker:

be a Christ follower,

Speaker:

if they don't understand why we support

Speaker:

the Jewish people and our common heritage,

Speaker:

then...

Speaker:

they're going to be lost and they're going

Speaker:

to fall prey to all of the isms

Speaker:

out there that are trying to take them

Speaker:

from their families and from their

Speaker:

Christian identity.

Speaker:

So please teach them these important

Speaker:

values.

Speaker:

best time, like you did with Zara,

Speaker:

the best time to do that is in

Speaker:

the car because they can't go anywhere.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

They have to sit there.

Speaker:

But we even call them into our offices

Speaker:

and offices,

Speaker:

one bedroom and another bedroom,

Speaker:

and talk about these things that are going

Speaker:

on in their lives.

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

they take it in and they listen.

Speaker:

You just start that communication and they

Speaker:

may roll their eyes here and there and

Speaker:

that kind of stuff,

Speaker:

but you just stick with it,

Speaker:

stay at it.

Speaker:

I have also found through some other books

Speaker:

that I'm reading right now is that we're

Speaker:

at this,

Speaker:

it's a perfect storm of events that have

Speaker:

happened over the last several years.

Speaker:

I've always told people that COVID was the

Speaker:

best time in my life that changed

Speaker:

everything for me and for us in a

Speaker:

positive way.

Speaker:

And so we look at it very fondly.

Speaker:

I know a lot of people don't,

Speaker:

but that's when we found out a lot

Speaker:

of this stuff was going on.

Speaker:

The other unfortunate thing that happened

Speaker:

is in two thousand ten,

Speaker:

the the the advent of smartphones and at

Speaker:

starting in two thousand ten,

Speaker:

the increase of anxiety, depression,

Speaker:

suicide in youth increased exponentially.

Speaker:

It just skyrocketed and when you have

Speaker:

children that are that vulnerable in that

Speaker:

weakness,

Speaker:

they're going to be open to things that

Speaker:

they think are going to make their life

Speaker:

easier.

Speaker:

Something called Marxism or Socialism

Speaker:

where everything is free and everybody

Speaker:

just shares and it'll be so much nicer

Speaker:

and it's a utopia.

Speaker:

That's what it was called back in eighteen

Speaker:

twenty that they wanted to begin this

Speaker:

utopia where people didn't have to work.

Speaker:

That capitalism was horrible.

Speaker:

United States of America was evil.

Speaker:

And that's where all this kind of stuff

Speaker:

starts.

Speaker:

And so they're open for it right now.

Speaker:

So talking to them about it, you know,

Speaker:

our twelve year old,

Speaker:

he doesn't have a phone.

Speaker:

our fifteen-year-old loses his phone

Speaker:

constantly.

Speaker:

The punishment is longer periods of time

Speaker:

without that phone.

Speaker:

And so I explain to them why.

Speaker:

Now that I'm armed with more information,

Speaker:

I can tell them why it's important that

Speaker:

they're not on their phones all the time.

Speaker:

So you just have to begin to have

Speaker:

these conversations with your kids and

Speaker:

often and talk to them about what's going

Speaker:

on in the world.

Speaker:

Amen.

Speaker:

Sorry about my voice.

Speaker:

I think I caught the flu a couple

Speaker:

of days ago.

Speaker:

It's still acting up.

Speaker:

Uh, roll tide roll.

Speaker:

Is that an expression I should know?

Speaker:

Alabama.

Speaker:

Oh, is it the football team?

Speaker:

Sorry.

Speaker:

What is it?

Speaker:

What does it refer to?

Speaker:

Uh, uh, the red roll tide,

Speaker:

the red tide.

Speaker:

Well, uh,

Speaker:

Vinny and Dean are very excited about a

Speaker:

conference in Alabama.

Speaker:

So let's see if we can make that

Speaker:

happen.

Speaker:

That's awesome.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Everything's set up and we'll show up.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Well, you know,

Speaker:

what's actually difficult right now is I'm

Speaker:

going to create a spreadsheet because I'm

Speaker:

getting requests to come to certain places

Speaker:

and I need to cross reference them because

Speaker:

I need to find out if like,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

this place in Northern California that

Speaker:

wants me to come.

Speaker:

If I've gotten something else from

Speaker:

Northern California and say, hey,

Speaker:

I need you to contact this person so

Speaker:

we can make a joint event so we

Speaker:

can make it a bigger event because they

Speaker:

may not know each other.

Speaker:

So it is important to network together so

Speaker:

that we can find a way of making

Speaker:

this stuff happen, which is awesome.

Speaker:

And Dean said something really nice.

Speaker:

I feel completely blessed to have found

Speaker:

this today.

Speaker:

Oh, thank you.

Speaker:

We really appreciate that.

Speaker:

Bama.

Speaker:

Bama.

Speaker:

Bama.

Speaker:

Bama.

Speaker:

It's short for Alabama.

Speaker:

I'm sorry.

Speaker:

I'm so smart.

Speaker:

I'm dumb sometimes.

Speaker:

Well, there's certain things, you know,

Speaker:

I mean, you're not a big sports fan.

Speaker:

And so you would more likely hear that

Speaker:

from college football.

Speaker:

Ah, yes.

Speaker:

Never watched.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So, I mean,

Speaker:

I'm sure the students that go to Alabama

Speaker:

know all these things.

Speaker:

Even the ones that aren't in football

Speaker:

because they're surrounded by it all the

Speaker:

time.

Speaker:

I mean,

Speaker:

I was surrounded by UCLA and USC fighting

Speaker:

over football and stuff like that.

Speaker:

I didn't pick up much.

Speaker:

And I had to tell you yesterday that

Speaker:

USC and UCLA had a game.

Speaker:

And you're going, oh, okay.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

He says he'll get us in a...

Speaker:

I'll get you two in a condo near

Speaker:

the beach.

Speaker:

Nice.

Speaker:

Nice.

Speaker:

That'd be fantastic.

Speaker:

By the red tide.

Speaker:

Is it really red?

Speaker:

Sometimes.

Speaker:

Oh, how awesome.

Speaker:

Ouch.

Speaker:

Laughing hard.

Speaker:

Yeah, I know.

Speaker:

I can be that way sometimes.

Speaker:

Hedy,

Speaker:

I'll see if I can hook you up

Speaker:

with Pastor Jed.

Speaker:

Solid ground church.

Speaker:

That sounds awesome.

Speaker:

I also believe my friend...

Speaker:

Oh my gosh,

Speaker:

why is it drawing a blank?

Speaker:

Joby is out in Alabama.

Speaker:

Oh, wow.

Speaker:

Yeah, Pastor Joby.

Speaker:

Anybody know Joby?

Speaker:

Pastor Joby out in...

Speaker:

I believe it's Alabama.

Speaker:

Yeah,

Speaker:

please don't tell us he's bad because...

Speaker:

He has churches all over the place.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I don't know how many he has,

Speaker:

but he's got all the satellite churches.

Speaker:

He said, no, not the tide that's red,

Speaker:

it's the soil.

Speaker:

Oh, the soil.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Cavalry solid ground.

Speaker:

Oh, that's interesting, but...

Speaker:

Oh, no, not OB, Joby.

Speaker:

J-O-B-E-Y.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Let me pull up the name of his

Speaker:

church.

Speaker:

Oh, wait, wait.

Speaker:

Can you get to the scripture at the

Speaker:

bottom?

Speaker:

He's a great men's pastor.

Speaker:

I like him,

Speaker:

even though I'm not a man.

Speaker:

That's good stuff, though.

Speaker:

Well, we have a lot more topics here,

Speaker:

Snooks.

Speaker:

No, we did all this.

Speaker:

Oh, about Romans.

Speaker:

Crosspoint City Church, it's called.

Speaker:

No?

Speaker:

No, it's numbers.

Speaker:

Oh, they copied him.

Speaker:

The Church of the Eleven.

Speaker:

Oh, there.

Speaker:

The Church of the Eleven Twenty-Two.

Speaker:

Oh, I'm on the wrong thing.

Speaker:

Let's see if we can find out where

Speaker:

they are.

Speaker:

Um...

Speaker:

Yeah, if you're a man,

Speaker:

you need to start following Job.

Speaker:

Can you do the scripture?

Speaker:

Romans,

Speaker:

for everything that was written in the

Speaker:

past was written to teach us so that

Speaker:

through the endurance taught in the

Speaker:

scriptures and the encouragement they

Speaker:

provide, we might have hope.

Speaker:

I don't like that he said might.

Speaker:

That's just one translation.

Speaker:

I have hope.

Speaker:

The reason I put this scripture is

Speaker:

oftentimes when you talk about bold and

Speaker:

courageous and strong in the Lord and the

Speaker:

Lord's vengeance and wrath against

Speaker:

idolatry, people say that's Old Testament.

Speaker:

Jesus was just about love.

Speaker:

and so it's i think it's so important

Speaker:

to remember that we have one bible it's

Speaker:

a continuous story of god to his people

Speaker:

and that jesus the only way we know

Speaker:

jesus is the christ is by the fulfillment

Speaker:

of prophecies that were in the old

Speaker:

testament so it is you know we we

Speaker:

need to take the bible in its entirety

Speaker:

one part is not fables and the other

Speaker:

part truth it is all truth infallible

Speaker:

Spirit breathed into man God's love story

Speaker:

to humanity.

Speaker:

And so I didn't list you all of

Speaker:

those scriptures, Deuteronomy, Joshua,

Speaker:

just all of the scripture where God is

Speaker:

repeatedly telling the people of Israel,

Speaker:

be strong and courageous for your Lord God

Speaker:

is with you.

Speaker:

And so I wanted to include Romans fifteen

Speaker:

four just to encapsulate everything that's

Speaker:

in the Old Testament.

Speaker:

Starting in Genesis,

Speaker:

it talks about the arrival of Jesus.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

It's spectacular.

Speaker:

First Corinthians, sixteen, thirteen.

Speaker:

Be on your guard.

Speaker:

Stand firm in the faith.

Speaker:

Be courageous.

Speaker:

Be strong.

Speaker:

Amen.

Speaker:

Amen.

Speaker:

Romans eight, thirty one.

Speaker:

What then shall we say in response to

Speaker:

these things?

Speaker:

If God is for us,

Speaker:

who can be against us?

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Simple.

Speaker:

We are more than conquerors in Christ

Speaker:

Jesus.

Speaker:

That scripture continues on.

Speaker:

And that really speaks to why you need

Speaker:

to just start standing up for your kids,

Speaker:

regardless of what... I mean, so many...

Speaker:

I can't tell you how many parents come

Speaker:

up to me in...

Speaker:

uh, sprouts in, uh, you know,

Speaker:

whatever grocery store I'm at Costco and

Speaker:

say, Hey,

Speaker:

I recognize you from your videos.

Speaker:

Uh, I, I, and I,

Speaker:

I really appreciate what you're doing.

Speaker:

He goes, and they, then they,

Speaker:

then they finished with, I can't,

Speaker:

I can't do that.

Speaker:

I can't do it because, you know,

Speaker:

my sister might get mad at me.

Speaker:

Or I can't do that because I work

Speaker:

in the school district.

Speaker:

Or I can't do that because of my

Speaker:

job.

Speaker:

Well, what?

Speaker:

Priorities.

Speaker:

You got to think.

Speaker:

You got to think.

Speaker:

Country's burning, folks.

Speaker:

You got to be kidding me.

Speaker:

Country's burning.

Speaker:

Can you imagine a soldier going through

Speaker:

boot camp and getting all ready and you

Speaker:

have to be deployed to Venezuela?

Speaker:

No, I can't because, you know,

Speaker:

my brother's wife is from Venezuela.

Speaker:

Well, guess what?

Speaker:

Actually,

Speaker:

they interviewed a number of Muslims

Speaker:

saying, would you fight in the U.S.

Speaker:

Army against a Muslim nation?

Speaker:

And they said no.

Speaker:

Well, then...

Speaker:

out you know and there's another there's

Speaker:

another test of loyalty yeah uh so finally

Speaker:

uh this is um in honor of the

Speaker:

scholar raymond ibrahim's new book two

Speaker:

swords of christ uh and he goes this

Speaker:

wonderful explanation on how um the

Speaker:

knights of the templar and the knights of

Speaker:

the hospital uh hospital started from the

Speaker:

hospitalers hospitalers

Speaker:

It's hard for me to articulate,

Speaker:

but it's the beginning of the Crusades.

Speaker:

And so he said in the old times,

Speaker:

People took this scripture very seriously.

Speaker:

So first Jesus sent out the disciples,

Speaker:

right?

Speaker:

And he said,

Speaker:

do not take a bag or a purse,

Speaker:

wipe the dust off your feet,

Speaker:

go to the next city.

Speaker:

But before he goes to the cross,

Speaker:

he tells them again that he's going to

Speaker:

send them out.

Speaker:

And he says, then Jesus asked them,

Speaker:

when I sent you without a purse,

Speaker:

bag or sandals, did you lack anything?

Speaker:

And they said, nothing.

Speaker:

He said to them,

Speaker:

but now if you have a purse,

Speaker:

take it and also a bag.

Speaker:

And if you don't have a sword,

Speaker:

sell your cloak and buy one.

Speaker:

The disciples said, see, Lord,

Speaker:

here are two swords.

Speaker:

He replied, that's enough.

Speaker:

And they took that to mean the two

Speaker:

swords of Christ are the spiritual and the

Speaker:

physical.

Speaker:

that the just war theory of Augustine came

Speaker:

out to articulate that Christians are

Speaker:

allowed to defend themselves and they are

Speaker:

allowed to defend their families and they

Speaker:

are allowed to defend their nation.

Speaker:

And this weak, just, you know,

Speaker:

it's only about love.

Speaker:

It is, and you know what?

Speaker:

And they were extremely pious.

Speaker:

So it could still be about love,

Speaker:

but you could still defend yourself.

Speaker:

your family and your loved ones and your

Speaker:

nation.

Speaker:

So this notion that Christianity equals

Speaker:

weak men or a weak community or stay

Speaker:

silent, that's cowardly.

Speaker:

And the Lord curses cowardice and says

Speaker:

that they will not enter the kingdom.

Speaker:

So we need to reframe how we look

Speaker:

at what it means to be a follower

Speaker:

of Christ.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

And I think it starts with each and

Speaker:

every one of us.

Speaker:

Just real quick,

Speaker:

I know those of you on Instagram,

Speaker:

I promise you,

Speaker:

by the time we come back next week,

Speaker:

I will fix the problem where our faces

Speaker:

aren't showing up on Instagram.

Speaker:

We get to see one of our cheeks

Speaker:

from time to time.

Speaker:

The platform we use changed the way that

Speaker:

it shows up on Instagram.

Speaker:

Such a shame.

Speaker:

We cannot figure out how to get it

Speaker:

to stop doing that.

Speaker:

It's in the same place as our website.

Speaker:

Yeah,

Speaker:

we may have to make an adjustment on

Speaker:

our camera,

Speaker:

maybe move that back a little bit.

Speaker:

And then maybe we can make a shameless

Speaker:

plug for donations.

Speaker:

But how would they reach the donation?

Speaker:

Yeah, our website's down.

Speaker:

Our website's down.

Speaker:

We have a donor box account that I'm

Speaker:

going to have to find a way of

Speaker:

putting out in our newsletter.

Speaker:

So yeah,

Speaker:

we've got a tremendous amount of costs

Speaker:

coming up trying to rebuild the website

Speaker:

and manage social media.

Speaker:

So pray for us.

Speaker:

How great is that?

Okay.

Speaker:

Oh, Heavenly Father,

Speaker:

Spirit of the Living God,

Speaker:

we ask for a fresh feeling of the

Speaker:

Spirit, Lord,

Speaker:

that we will continue to be emboldened by

Speaker:

your Spirit that counsels us and advocates

Speaker:

for us and prays on our behalf when

Speaker:

we do not even have the words, Lord.

Speaker:

So we just ask to fill us with

Speaker:

Spirit that makes us bold and courageous,

Speaker:

Lord,

Speaker:

that we

Speaker:

We have the faith that if Christ is

Speaker:

in us, then who could be against us?

Speaker:

And that we have that power within us,

Speaker:

that if we have faith the size of

Speaker:

a mustard seed,

Speaker:

we could say to a mountain, move,

Speaker:

and it would be cast into the sea.

Speaker:

Lord, you have given us so much.

Speaker:

So we ask that you just empower each

Speaker:

and every one of us in our own

Speaker:

way, Lord, to be faithful to you,

Speaker:

to be bold and courageous for the gospel,

Speaker:

to defend our families, our communities,

Speaker:

our cities, our nation, Lord,

Speaker:

that we be that wall of defense against

Speaker:

all of the evil that's coming at us,

Speaker:

Lord.

Speaker:

We ask that you bless Vicki's sister as

Speaker:

she goes through this procedure, Lord,

Speaker:

that you give her healing and restoration

Speaker:

from the pain, Lord,

Speaker:

that you comfort her with your presence

Speaker:

and that you give the doctors discernment

Speaker:

as they go through this procedure, Lord.

Speaker:

Thank you in advance for all that you're

Speaker:

going to do.

Speaker:

And we thank you for faith and those

Speaker:

who do not yet know you, Lord,

Speaker:

may they come to saving faith in your

Speaker:

son, the only begotten son of our...

Speaker:

of our heavenly father thank you lord for

Speaker:

the blood that runs through our veins

Speaker:

thank you for the sacrifice on the cross

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

But then your light came shining,

Speaker:

showing me you're always there.

Speaker:

Your love became my anchor when the storms

Speaker:

were start to rise.

Speaker:

Now I'm living fearless in the power of

Speaker:

Christ.

Speaker:

Living fearless in your mercy,

Speaker:
