00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.880
And now Bill Martinez.

6
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:16.719
Well, good morning America. Good to have you with us.

Bill Martinez here with Kenny Spivak join us. He is

11
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.000
media as well. Kenan, good to have you back with us.

12
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:34.359
How are you.

13
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.000
I'm great, Thanks Bill, thanks for having me.

14
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.640
Well, great to have you here. We last time we talked,

15
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.479
we talked about, you know, the importance of free speech

16
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.399
and being respectful. And now we want to take a

17
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:54.280
look at your latest column on the democrats refusal to

18
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.159
fund the Department of Homeland Security, which you say has

19
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.079
exceeded in any hypothesis of good faith. Right.

20
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:08.319
Absolutely, there's no more reason for There was never a

21
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.439
reason for what they did. But they used the pretext

22
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.319
of being dissatisfied with Ice, and you know, whether they

23
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.719
were or they weren't, most of what needed to be

24
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.159
fixed from their view, not even from my view, has

25
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.000
been fixed. And now we're in a war, and now

26
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.640
we've had four terrorism incidents in the last two weeks exact,

27
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.120
and we need the Department of Homeland Security, we need

28
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.959
TSA so that we can have travel as we go

29
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:36.959
into spring break.

30
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.040
We just need America to be operating.

31
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.959
Right exactly well. And the thing is is that when

32
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.359
you look back at what the Left did, they exacerbated

33
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.200
the problem. I mean, they just took advantage of what

34
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.359
was going on here. Ice was called to do something

35
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.560
that was really beyond their capacity and training in a sense.

36
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.200
I mean, you know, to go in and do crowd control.

37
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.519
This is not what they're trained to do. They're trying

38
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.520
to go capture the bad guys in a controlled situation,

39
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:14.240
not in a general population. I mean, they just in

40
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.560
my context, what I would say is that they didn't

41
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.400
have a fair chance to be successful with their mission,

42
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.879
and the Democrats were there doing everything they could to

43
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.120
put a stick in their spokes and to make the

44
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:26.159
situation worse.

45
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.120
Well, yeah, but let's focus in on on your last point. Yes,

46
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.840
it's not ICE's job to handle crowd control. It's the

47
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.439
job of the local police exactly. It's also not the

48
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:43.719
job of the local elected officials to incite people to

49
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.240
go out and riot and to interfere with ICE operations.

50
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.919
So the Democrats one hundred percent created the circumstances in

51
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.800
which ICE was less successful. They sent the people out

52
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.479
onto the street, They ordered the police to stand back.

53
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.479
They put ICE and even worse, because their training is

54
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.159
entirely different border patrol in an untenable situation.

55
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:09.599
Now, I want to.

56
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.800
Say that I think the shooting of Alex Pretty was

57
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:17.759
probably unjustified and law enforcement should have known better. But

58
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.199
what happened with Renee Good, from everything I can see,

59
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.759
was Renee Good's fault or the fault of the Democrats

60
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.080
who egged her on into putting her car where it

61
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.840
was right. The Democrats can't have it two ways. They

62
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.439
can't create a circumstance then pounce one of their favorite words, yes,

63
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.240
when ICE is partially defeated by the circumstance they create,

64
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:48.280
and then refuse to fund homeland Security because they don't

65
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.919
like that ICE wasn't able to perfectly handle the mess

66
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.639
they created exactly well.

67
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.680
And as you say, the timing, it couldn't be at

68
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.599
a word time. I mean, here we are, we're at war.

69
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.159
Call it which you want with Iran. We know, and

70
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.360
even the media, which does us no favors in terms

71
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.319
of reporting the truth, has even said that we have

72
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.040
sleeper sells abounding in our country. So the alert levels

73
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.639
are heightened. And what do we do the people that

74
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.759
manage alerts? We tell them to sit down without a

75
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:27.279
pay chance.

76
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.759
By the way, right, we're certainly not paying them. Look,

77
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.399
I favor what we're doing in Iran, others may not.

78
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.120
We have a core problem among elected Democrats, and I

79
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.879
do want to make a distinction between the average member

80
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.600
of the Democrat Party or the average voter in elections

81
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:49.000
and Democrat primaries, because the polls show that there is

82
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.040
a mismatch between what elected Democrat officials are doing and

83
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.600
what the average Democrat wants. The elected Democrat officials in

84
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.279
this country control them has been seized by the far

85
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:07.319
left energized base of the Democrat Party. These people are

86
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:12.480
not patriotic, they don't believe in American ideals. They believe

87
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.000
in a fundamental change to America. And again I emphasize this,

88
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.279
that's not what all Democrats think, it's what the progressive

89
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:27.199
wing believes. And right now they're controlling elected Democrats in Congress.

90
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.680
But it's up to those Democrats to come together the

91
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.920
ones that are pro American, because I've set the divide

92
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.800
is either you are pro American or anti American. I

93
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.600
don't care too much about the party, the partisan politics.

94
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.920
You know, it frustrates me. You know, at the end

95
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:47.399
of the day, I want us to be on the

96
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:52.199
same team USA, and I want to be alongside people

97
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.560
who are pro American. They're thinking what's best for America,

98
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.720
not this group, like you said, this radical part of

99
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.680
the of the Democrat. And I'd say there's radical people

100
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.680
even on the right that are not interested necessarily in

101
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.240
pro American values. But those need to be vetted out,

102
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.240
and they need to be vereted in such a way

103
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:17.920
to where we have a true majority of pro Americans

104
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.759
that are looking out for the best interest for people

105
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.800
that still believe in the American dream.

106
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.519
Can right.

107
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:25.720
Absolutely.

108
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.040
So there's a poll that just came out Fox Poll

109
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.000
from a couple of weeks ago, and it looked at

110
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.199
how people perceive their patriotism towards the United States. If

111
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.920
you go back twenty five years, it was about ninety percent.

112
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.360
Not much difference between Republican Democrats and independents. You look

113
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.399
at it today, in only thirty six percent of Democrats,

114
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:51.680
self identified Democrats say that they have any level of patriotism.

115
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.560
If you go and look behind those numbers, you see

116
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.959
the real drop off is among younger people and liberal

117
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.639
to very liberal Demas. And not all Democrats are very liberal.

118
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:07.639
There are moderate Democrats. Among moderate Democrats, many remain patriotic.

119
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.920
And to your point, oh, somewhere around twenty percent of

120
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.959
Republicans don't describe themselves as patriotic. Those are probably Republicans

121
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.759
on the very far right. We have a problem on

122
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.439
the very far right and the very far left. Right Now,

123
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.319
the far left has more people than the far right,

124
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.000
and the far left is more powerful than the far right,

125
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.800
but both are not good for America.

126
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.120
Well, and I see the far left their desire to

127
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.920
do more damage and destruction, they seem that seems to

128
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.720
be very acceptable on the very far left. On the

129
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.319
far right, they may pitch a fit and everything, but

130
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.839
they're not the ones necessarily that you know, would be

131
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:55.600
doing the things that the left do in terms of

132
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.639
destruction of property and things like that.

133
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.639
Yeah, I'm were together, No, no, no, we were together

134
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.800
several months ago and we discussed one of my articles

135
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:10.399
about the Fire survey. That's the Freedom Free Speech Organization

136
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.600
survey of universities, and that survey showed on the university

137
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.600
campuses that, first of all, across all students, there had

138
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.639
been a decline in the belief in freedom of speech

139
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.600
and the right to address controversial issues.

140
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.680
But on the use of violence, among.

141
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.320
Those who described themselves as liberal, a majority believed that

142
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.639
the use of violence was occasionally at least justified, and

143
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.039
a smaller percent thought that it was often justified. A

144
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:45.159
totally unrelated study by you Gov of all Americans, it's

145
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.360
not focused just on campuses, showed that about a quarter

146
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:54.399
of all self identified liberals believe that violence is justified.

147
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.519
On the conservative side, it was three percent. So yes,

148
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.360
we have a problem. It's not only among liberals who

149
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.360
are the far left, but it is predominantly among the

150
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.559
liberals and the far left. They are much more willing

151
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:15.879
to act on their impulses and they just don't like America.

152
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.320
Right, Gotta go to a quick break. We'le picking up

153
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:19.399
on the other side. More from Kennon.

154
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.000
After this stay with us, hop into John deere Gator

155
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:24.399
XUV for a day's work.

156

Let's see what's on the to do list. There goes

157
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.080
the tree and the fence.

158
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.159
Not a problem, because you've got a cargo box filled

159

164
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.480
Why do I go to the doctor? Working on the farm,

165
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:55.919
my heart kept skipping a beat. I didn't think much

166
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.120
of it, but my daughters made me get checked out.

167
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.600
Turns out I have atrial fibrill which increases the risk

168
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:03.000
of stroke about five times.

169
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.120
Symptoms like a regular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness

170
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.879
of breath, fatigue, or lightheadedness can come and go, but

171
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.360
if it's a FIB, the risk of stroke remains. If

172
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.600
you have symptoms, contact a doctor. I'm so glad I

Hey, welcome back, Bill Martinez. Here we get Kenneth Speedback,

241
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.519
continuing with is the founder and chairman of the SMI Group, H. Kennon.

242
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:00.440
Yeah.

243
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.039
I think that's the bottom line again, you know, just

244
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:04.919
in terms of the sentiment, and this is something that

245
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.279
I've seen quite glaringly in the recent months, is you

246
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:14.000
get this movement, this anti American movement, and it's shocking

247
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.120
and I think it's hard for people to even when

248
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:22.000
they're hearing elected officials that are card carrying Marxist. You know,

249
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.799
Trevor Lauden's been on with us several times. He's done

250
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.039
a deep down research and he's got the receipts on

251
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.519
all this stuff, and it's tough for the audience to

252
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.039
hear that fellow Americans really want to hurt America.

253
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:37.480
Right.

254
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.519
There is a combination of two phenomena happening at the

255
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:46.480
same time. Trump arrangement syndrome, which you know, I don't

256
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.000
want to go so far as to say anti Trump

257
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.320
is anti American because that's a little silly.

258
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.279
But there's this.

259
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.600
Strong visceral to me, not really entirely understandable, just absolute

260
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.159
hate of Donald Trump and anything he does. I don't

261
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.120
mean that, I don't understand that people might not agree

262
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.120
with him on issues or might not like the way

263
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:12.679
he comports himself. But this absolute hate I don't understand.

264
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:20.279
And add to that intersectionality, this view that the white patriarchy,

265
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.799
whatever that is, is out to get them a huge

266
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:29.679
dose of anti semitism and rap this all together and

267
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.440
it's a combination of people who hate America, people who

268
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:38.279
hate Western culture, and people who hate Donald Trump. And

269
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.200
you put them all together, and you have a lot

270
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.440
of the trouble we are in of late. You have DHS,

271
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:51.240
Department of Homeland Security defunded. You have Americans hoping that

272
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.360
America will lose and it is a war, this war

273
00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:00.759
in Iran. You have Americans hoping that Palestinian terrorists will

274
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.679
annihilate all Jews everywhere in the world.

275
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.240
We're in a bit of a mess.

276
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.559
Well, and I think that at the core of all this,

277
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:17.279
it's our moral compass has been compromised, you know. That

278
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:22.159
is the basis of Western civilization is that, And this

279
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.399
is what ignited this movement and really gave the birth

280
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.480
of America was, you know, was religion and freedom of

281
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:34.200
religion and to be able to do right for ourselves

282
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.000
and for our fellow man. And that is being you know,

283
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.960
threatened the media. I mean, you know this, this abject

284
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.559
hatred for Donald Trump. In fact, I wrote a column

285
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.399
about a year and a half ago. You know who

286
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.840
told you to hate Donald Trump? And you look at

287
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:55.720
the media reports. MRC continues to report that the media

288
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.440
reports negatively on Donald Trump ninety four percent of the time.

289
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.080
That's not by accident.

290
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.319
Oh, every headline in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times,

291
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:12.119
Washington Post is anti Trump. If we have a stunning

292
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:16.880
victory in Iran, the headline is US fails to achieve

293
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.359
one hundred percent of objectives because we only achieved ninety

294
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.759
nine percent. It's out of control. Let me tell you

295
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:27.920
one startling number. There is a centrist Democrat organization called

296
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.640
Third Wave, and they've been really hitting their head against

297
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.359
the wall for the last few years, trying to convince

298
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.240
the Democrat Party to move closer to the center and

299
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.799
away from the far left. And they've commissioned polls by

300
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.839
all sorts of different organizations. One came out last week

301
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:50.559
and a majority of Democrats identify themselves as observant Christians.

302
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:56.880
And that startled even third Wave. It's not what they expected.

303
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.480
To find. But it was the case. There is a

304
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:07.319
difference between the Democrat base and elected Democrat officials. There

305
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:12.880
is not anymore much of a difference between radical left

306
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:17.960
Democrats and Democrat elected officials. So here's what I would

307
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.839
say to the Democrats and the base. Take back control

308
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.599
of your party. I still may not agree with all

309
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.240
of the policies you'll want to follow, but we will

310
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:35.960
be in complete agreement on values and on a desire

311
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.759
to do what's right, and then we can try to

312
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.720
figure out how do we compromise on getting there.

313
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.440
You're exactly right. That's the Democratic Party of the sixties

314
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.319
and seventies that's been lost because you know, you could

315
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:53.240
have people going, you know, across the aisle, you know,

316
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.759
politicians going across the aisle. Because at the end of

317
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.039
the day, we were kind of looking at the same hill.

318
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.519
We have the same mission, and what we were arguing

319
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:05.839
over was the process. You know, that's healthy, But now

320
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:09.480
it's like we don't even know what hell we're conquering here.

321
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.519
Right, There's always going to be a difference on what

322
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.680
percent of the budget do we want to allocate for

323
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.640
social purposes, what percent we want to allocate for defense?

324
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.279
How much surveillance should there be or not be, how

325
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:27.240
much regulation should there be or not be, should workers

326
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.680
get double overtime, single overtime. There'll always be differences of

327
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.440
opinion on issues like that, right, but those are still

328
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.519
within the same value structure, the same goal, and the

329
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.599
same love for America. Let's get back to those discussions

330
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:50.720
and not this deranged cultural Marxism, intersectionality, anti semitism which

331
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.839
is pervading the Democrat Party from the left and unfortunately

332
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.119
even some of the Republican Party from the far right.

333
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.720
Well, here we are on the verge of celebrating our

334
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:06.680
two hundred and fiftieth year anniversary. This could be quite

335
00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:11.079
the demarcation where we either are able to come together

336
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:17.079
and bring these disparate ideas, you know, to some kind

337
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:20.400
of peaceful arrangement, so to speak, so that we can

338
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:25.480
talk and be able to advance our culture, or we

339
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:30.519
just get absolutely nuts and you know, we could end

340
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.079
up in another revolution, which maybe may not be all

341
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:35.200
that bad. I don't know.

342
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.720
Well, I'd rather not be in another revolution, but.

343
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.000
Well we're kind of in one anyway right now. It's soft,

344
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.279
the soft one.

345
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.119
Yeah, No, I agree. I think if people on both

346
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.920
sides of the aisle are particularly at the extremes. Listen

347
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:57.039
to what you just said about working things through. Look,

348
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:00.519
people like you and I are politically conservative, but we

349
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.359
understand the value of compromise and collaboration and trying to

350
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.839
be a single people with a common objective. When people

351
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:16.839
don't share that view of politics, they're not helpful to

352
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:18.519
the process or the nation.

353
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:24.359
And look what we draw into the country. We draw

354
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.920
more of the same and right now we're fractured. This

355
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.839
is what is so dangerous about what Joe Biden did

356
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.720
in an open border policy. We brought all these people,

357
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:38.240
and I mean coming in as an immigrant. You know,

358
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:40.920
these modern immigrants had to be totally confused because you

359
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.880
know what is America, Kennon. I mean, we're just so

360
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:47.960
we're just so confused ourselves.

361
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.000
Yes, and by the way, and that's the point.

362
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.720
America is a culture of values, and you can be

363
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:57.279
any color, any religion, no religion, and you can share

364
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:01.279
those values. But it is okay for America to say

365
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:06.079
we want immigrants to be coming to America because they

366
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:11.240
share our values. Our values don't mean that they want

367
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.200
time and a half, double time, triple time. It doesn't

368
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.599
mean what percent of the budget they wants been for defense.

369
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:22.160
But it does mean a fundamental belief in our constitution

370
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.519
in the first ten amendments to our Constitution, in our

371
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:29.880
Declaration of Independence, and people that don't share those values

372
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.359
should live someplace elsewhere they'll be.

373
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:35.440
Happier, exactly. And the thing is, look at this country.

374
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:40.279
I mean, we're a tapestry of immigrants and the cultures

375
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.640
that they've brought into this country. It's fantastic. I mean,

376
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:52.039
I love, you know, the expanse of cultural participation and

377
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.839
what they've done to add to the beauty of America.

378
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.039
And that's what that's my heart. I know that's your

379
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:59.839
heart as well, and I want to continue to promote

380
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:04.119
them not and there's no reason that we can't have

381
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:10.279
that without you know, without the cost of the American dream.

382
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.599
I agree. I don't have any elephant. I agree.

383
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.400
Well, I was going to give you thirty seconds to

384
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:20.799
summarize and bring wrap it up here with your brilliant

385
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.799
so anyway, I I you know, this has been a

386
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:27.000
good discussion, and I appreciate you know, your participation in it,

387
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:29.920
because you know this is you know, we've got we've

388
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:34.279
got to put in the positive discussion of positive ideas

389
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:36.680
into this negative environment to balance it out.

390
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:43.400
Kennon right, No, you're you are completely right. And if

391
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:46.039
polls are the least bit accurate, and I don't.

392
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.119
Mean just this one particular poll from last.

393
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:53.240
Week, most Americans share that view. Are elected officials not

394
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:53.880
so much.

395
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:57.880
But like you said, it's been hijacked by the left,

396
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.839
by the media, and we have to take control of

397
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.240
it and not let them steal our joy because they're

398
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.599
trying to steal our joy from us. Because we've got

399
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.079
lots to be joyful about in this great country that

400
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.759
we're here, and we do want to share it with

401
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.319
everybody who wants to come in and add to the proposition,

402
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:20.640
not take away, but advance this great American idea. Kennan

403

Hey, good morning, welcome back. Good to have you with us.

480
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.200
Bill Martinez here with Jenny Beth Martin from the Tea

481
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.759
Party Patriots Action. Hey, Jenny Bath good morning to you.

482
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:43.200
Hey, Bill, it so great to be back with you.

483
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.920
He always going to be talking, especially to say back.

484
00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:50.440
You know, the pressure is on Thune. He's you know,

485
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:54.160
it seems that he's committed to do everythating he can

486
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:57.200
to pass this legislation. And of course President Trump has

487
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.160
put the line in the sand and saying, hey, look

488
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.079
at don't buy to send any bills my way to

489
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:03.960
sign if you can't pass to.

490
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.839
Say that, right, that is exactly correct. President Trump is

491
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:10.880
very supportive of this bill. He wants this bill to

492
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:13.720
become law. And about a week and a half ago

493
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:16.279
it didn't seem like Thune was completely on board. But

494
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:21.160
now the Senate Majority Leader Thune is on board. The

495
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:25.079
bill should be coming to the floor of the Senate today.

496
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:28.920
It's possible it may wind up happening tomorrow. And then

497
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:31.640
when that happens, there are going to be a lot

498
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.759
of procedural motions that happen, and it's not going to

499
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:39.680
be exactly what we were hearing a talking filibuster was,

500
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:42.200
but it's going to be very similar. It's going to

501
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.799
be a robust beat, as Leader Thune says, and it

502
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.480
will be brought to the floor and he'll do something

503
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.839
called filling the amendment tree, which prevents the Democrats from

504
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:57.039
adding other amendments and it protects the floor, and then

505
00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:57.960
we expect to.

506
00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:01.640
Be to really begin and earn a tomorrow on the

507
00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:03.240
bill and it.

508
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:08.279
The debate is expected to last throughout the week, hopefully

509
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.640
into next week as well, and then we see where

510
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:16.400
it goes from there. If the Republicans really do this

511
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:18.720
and we get it on the floor which only requires

512
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:23.160
a simple majority, and they begin debating it, then our

513
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:26.440
biggest task is activists, is making sure we are putting

514
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:30.240
pressure on the Democrats and asking why they were refusing

515
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:34.359
to ensure only citizens vote and American elections, and that

516
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:36.799
we show id to prove we are who we say

517
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.599
we are when we vote.

518
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.279
I mean, and this is I think that's really a

519
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.400
challenge for everyday Americans outside of you know you and

520
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.599
I spend a lot of time invested in understanding what's

521
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:50.599
going on in our government. And I get it. A

522
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:52.880
lot of Americans, you know, they just have a casual,

523
00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:56.480
very casual acquaintance at a time when you need to

524
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.759
really be more focused, because an informed vote is critical

525
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.799
to this democratic republic. The reason that we're in the

526
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.640
chaos that we're in and things seem to be so

527
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:11.759
confusing is because the electorate has taken a rather casual,

528
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:17.319
you know, kind of a casual relationship with this democratic Republic.

529
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.359
When the founder said we the people, it really was

530
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:26.200
a commitment for we the people to design and uphold

531
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.640
the kind of government that was being designed. As Benjamin

532
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:32.880
Franklin said in response to a woman's request, Okay, well,

533
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:34.839
what kind of government are you giving us? Is it

534
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:37.720
a democratic republic? If you can keep it.

535
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.559
Right, that is exactly right, and so it is up

536
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.440
to us to work to keep it. And you know,

537
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.119
we talk about how we have consent of the governed

538
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:49.079
in this country.

539
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:50.920
You cannot have consent of.

540
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:54.240
The governed if you don't have secure and fair elections.

541
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:57.480
And this bill is going in and helping make elections

542
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:02.359
more secure, but it's doing so in very targeted, specific manners.

543
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:08.119
It's not a nationalization of the elections, of the election process.

544
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.400
It is very specifically cleaning up the national voter registration

545
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.240
actually require proof of citizenship to register to vote, cleaning

546
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:22.799
up the Help America Vote Act to require proof or

547
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:26.279
voter ID win you vote. And then we expect three

548
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:29.880
more things to be added to the bill when Senator

549
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:33.279
Thune does those procedural motions. It's going to have something

550
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:36.839
that addresses mail and balloting, for mail in balloting to

551
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.079
be for military and for people who are truly disabled

552
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:42.880
or infirm and cannot make it to vote. And then

553
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:46.759
also to address men and women's sports, so no men

554
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:51.400
and women's sports and no transgender surgery on minors. So

555
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.839
we can kind of think of the bill as morphing

556
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:59.680
into the Save American Voters, Save American Sports, and Save

557
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:04.839
American Children bill, and it's the Save America Act, which.

558
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.839
Will save all voter, sports and children.

559
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.319
Now, the thing I started to say that's confusing for

560
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.920
everybody is when you hear Democrats talk, whether it's Haakim

561
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.279
Jeffries or Rocana and that sort of thing, I mean,

562
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:22.720
their arguments seem very hollow. I mean they're not substantive.

563
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:28.599
They're very emotional in bases and it's hard to follow them.

564
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:33.039
So people need to discern the difference between that which

565
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:36.720
is reasonable and logical versus something that's emotional. And the

566
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:42.240
Democrats really that's been their kind of their their modus

567
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:47.039
operandi is they triggered totally off of emotion instead of

568
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:50.079
the practical. This is why it's so frustrating sometimes when

569
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.599
you want to have a conversation with them, because they

570
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.519
don't really give you an opportunity to really talk about

571
00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:56.079
the facts.

572
00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:59.079
Do they No, they don't give you an opportunity to

573
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.039
talk about the facts. And they are doing things like

574
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:03.599
they're saying that this bill is racist, that it's Jim

575
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:06.240
Crow two point zero, that it'll make it difficult or

576
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:10.079
impossible for married women to vote, and that it makes

577
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:12.159
it harder to register to vote than it is to

578
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.239
get a gun. Let me address those very quickly in order.

579
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:18.599
The bill is not racist. Over sixty I think we

580
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.519
just did a pull on the bill and it came

581
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:25.960
out last week. Sixty four or sixty five percent of

582
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:30.280
Americans support passing the Save America Act, and it includes

583
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:35.559
over sixty percent of African Americans. Over sixty percent of Hispanics,

584
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.840
over sixty percent of people over sixty five, and over

585
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:43.800
sixty percent of people under sixty five. This crosses socioeconomic

586
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:48.079
political divides. People want this bill passed, so it's an

587
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:52.320
absurd allegation. The other thing is that they'll say married

588
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:54.920
women can't register to vote and won't be able to vote.

589
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:57.760
That's crazy. Women understand that if you change your name,

590
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.639
you have to have your birth your birth ofificate, your

591
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:03.679
marriage certificate, and if you get divorce, your divorce decree,

592
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:07.199
and it shows the evolution of your name throughout your life.

593
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:08.800
And that works just fine.

594
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.559
But if for some reason you can't show that you

595
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:14.880
don't have all of the paperwork for it, or you

596
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.239
just don't even have your birth certificate for for some reason,

597
00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:21.079
then there are provisions in the bill to allow a

598
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:25.239
person to attest to being a United States citizen, provide

599
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:28.880
whatever evidence they can, and the worker who is accepting

600
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:32.559
the information will then accept the attestation, and they're both

601
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:36.480
signing under a penalty of perjury that this is correct.

602
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:38.880
And the other thing is they're saying that it's more

603
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:42.000
difficult to it'll be more difficult to register to vote

604
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.280
than to get a gun absurd, absolutely absurd. At this point,

605
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:48.239
to get a gun in this country, you have to

606
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:50.920
have a background check. Certainly, if you're getting a new gun,

607
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:53.639
you have to have a full background check. That's not

608
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:56.159
happening at all. You're just proving you are who you

609
00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:59.119
say you are. We do this all the time in

610
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:01.880
our everyday life. And I think that's part of the

611
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:05.400
reason why these emotional arguments from the Democrats right now

612
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:09.880
are falling flat, because people in their gut instinct only

613
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:12.719
want American citizens to vote, and they want to know

614
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:16.159
their vote is secure and that they are the only

615
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:18.559
person who can cast their own.

616
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:23.599
Ballot well exactly because otherwise then their vote is negated.

617
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.639
And there has been plenty of research on this, Jenny

618
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:31.480
Beth with other countries that had, you know, a free

619
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.679
kind of a free for all in terms of elections,

620
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:38.079
and there was obvious corruption and everything and to disenfranchised

621
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:40.840
the people, and they just said, I'm not voting, my

622
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:43.440
vote doesn't count, why should I even participate. But as

623
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:47.360
soon as they brought law and order into the election process,

624
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:52.639
guess what, voter participation increased dramatically. So what does that

625
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.199
tell you.

626
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:57.199
Well, it tells me that people will vote when they

627
00:36:57.239 --> 00:37:00.480
trust the election system. So let's make sure that we're

628
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.239
improving that trust, and then people go vote. And this

629
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.400
bill does not guarantee an outcome for the election, but

630
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.119
what it does do is at the end of the election,

631
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:12.760
of the end of election day, when we get those results,

632
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:14.119
it will give us more.

633
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.360
Faith in the outcome.

634
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:16.119
Exactly.

635
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:18.239
Out that faith, we don't have.

636
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:21.679
A republic, we don't have a representative democracy, and so

637
00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:24.960
it's extremely important that we are doing all that we

638
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:27.880
can to help ensure that there is faith in the

639
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:30.760
outcome of the elections. We may still lose at the

640
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.519
ballot box, but at least we'll know we lost fairly exactly.

641
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.760
And what you touched on is absolutely fundamental and key

642
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.559
to this whole debate, and that is that you want

643
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:45.639
to ensure the faith of the American people in the

644
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.920
system when they have lost faith and trust has been broken,

645
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.199
which it has been, and this has been going on

646
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.760
for a number of years. It hasn't just been in

647
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:57.400
the last couple of voting cycles. Jenny Beth. I mean,

648
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:00.679
you can go all the way back to JFK's election. Democrats,

649
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.039
you know here probably about twenty years ago, admitted and said, well,

650
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:05.840
if the truth being known, yeah, there was probably some

651
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:09.400
cheating and that's what god JFK elected. Are you kidding me?

652
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:13.079
It's not okay, that's not okay.

653
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.920
And when we heard things after twenty twenty like oh

654
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.559
there's always cheating in every election, that does not make

655
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.320
people feel better. It makes them feel like they've been

656
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:26.199
robbed of something that they trusted, and that is just

657
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.960
we cannot have that. And yes, human beings are involved,

658
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.840
so mistakes are going to happen, and human beings are involved,

659
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:37.679
so people are going to be malicious intentionally in some cases.

660
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.280
But it makes sense for us to do everything we

661
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:43.960
can to reduce the ability to have those kind of mistakes,

662
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:50.400
to reduce the ability for malicious malactions to happen, bad

663
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:51.400
behavior to happen.

664
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:53.440
Well, we got to keep the pressure on the senators.

665
00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:56.599
Call your local senators, Jenny Beth, you've got all the

666
00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:59.280
information there at your website. Tell them where they should.

667
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:04.199
Go to teapartypatriots dot org, teapartypatriots dot org, or go

While I go to the doctor working on the farm,

679
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.480
my heart kept skipping a beat. I didn't think much

680
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:49.719
of it, but my daughters made me get checked out.

681
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:53.159
Turns out I have aterial fibrillation, which increases the risk

of stroke about five times.

Hey glad you can join us fourteen minutes before the

top of the R. Right now, we've got Jeremy Beck

747
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:24.239
from Numbers USA. Hey Jeremy, good morning to him. Good morning, though,

748
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:27.320
Well let's talk to you verify. You know, you and

749
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.039
I've been chewing this up, but it's coming down. I mean,

750
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:33.719
this is this is critical. And what we're finding out

751
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:37.280
is these some of these states just have not gotten

752
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:41.039
the memo. They don't realize how important you verify is

753
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:45.760
in order for us to have and to have immigration

754
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:48.960
policies that are win win for all concerned. It's not

755
00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:51.360
like we're being mean to immigrants or anything like that.

756
00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:53.920
You know, we want immigrants to come in and have

757
00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:59.440
a fair chance to you know, be be a contributing citizen,

758
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:02.679
a citizen and that wants to assimilate and add to

759
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:07.280
the cultural fabric of this great American idea. Right.

760
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:11.840
Imagine being an immigrant who's gone through the whole legal process.

761
00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:15.800
Sometimes that takes months or years. You do it, you know,

762
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:18.920
the right way. You go through all the red tape

763
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:21.079
and the bureaucracy, and you get here and you start

764
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:25.599
applying for jobs, and there's just there's no openings. And

765
00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:28.000
yet you turn around it looks like and you find

766
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:32.239
out later that, oh, that job site they got audited.

767
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:35.440
It turns out they've been hiring illegal workers this whole time. Right,

768
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:40.119
They're undermining your ability as a new legal immigrant to

769
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:43.039
put your stake in the ground here, get your foot

770
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:47.440
on the ladder of the economic ladder, to improve your life,

771
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.440
which is what you came here for and beyond. So

772
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.559
it's yeah, it's an insult to every legal worker. That's

773
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:56.679
whether you're here, whether you're foreign born or native born.

774
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:01.360
Illegal hiring is a a slap in the face. More

775
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:04.360
than that, it's an invitation to people around the world

776
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:07.320
to come here illegally and to stay illegally. And this

777
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.840
is really where the rubber meets the road. And if

778
00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:13.519
you ask me personally, this is the litmus test.

779
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:14.599
It's one thing.

780
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:18.840
It's one thing to be against the purely open borders

781
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:22.480
of the Biden administration, right, and it's another thing to

782
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:26.599
actually truly be for immigration enforcement and to truly be

783
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:30.639
for a credible immigration policy. And this is where we're

784
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:33.599
finding a lot of state legislatures, and these are I'm

785
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:38.719
talking about Republican legislatures here. They are failing this litmus test.

786
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:41.679
They are not willing to crack down on illegal hiring.

787
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:44.960
They for whatever reason, and I can't say for certain

788
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.480
what the reasons are, they don't want to do it.

789
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:50.840
West Virginia just did this. They have a super majority,

790
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:54.480
thirty four to two super majority, so they can't blame

791
00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:57.400
this on the Democrats. They had a strong e verify

792
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.159
bill passed by the House. It would have required employers

793
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:04.480
to verify that their new hires are authorized to work.

794
00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:05.480
In the United States.

795
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.239
In West Virginia House passed it went over to the

796
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:10.360
state Senate. They send it back to the committee or

797
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:13.920
the committee gutted it. The entire Senate said this, look,

798
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.840
this gutted bill looks terrific. Then they got some pushback

799
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:20.079
from constituents. They said, oh, they ended up making a

800
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:22.920
watered down version of it, and they ran out the clock.

801
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:25.679
So at the end of the day nothing got passed.

802
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:29.119
And this is just two years after the border crisis ended.

803
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.360
We are not going to reverse the border crisis or

804
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:35.199
prevent the next border crisis if we don't get serious

805
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:39.000
about workplace enforcement and everify is at the center of it.

806
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:43.679
You see, I don't think they understand, Jeremy. I think

807
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:48.360
they're blinded, as you say, by a constituency that is

808
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:51.679
blinding them and causing them to be blind. Now we

809
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:56.360
can talk about the grift that goes on that is obvious,

810
00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:01.760
that that influences people and elected official because their their

811
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:05.320
lifeblood is to get re elected, as they're told, you know,

812
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:08.239
when they go in for orientation. You know, forget about

813
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:12.239
what your constituents, what's your constituents back home say? You

814
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:15.360
need to get re elected, and so you've got to

815
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:19.360
go along to get along, You've got to you know,

816
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:23.280
really blind yourself to some of these things that are

817
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:26.920
so obvious because you know, you go there and you

818
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:29.639
look at immigration. I mean, they all say, they all

819
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:33.199
echo from different parts of the chorus. You know, immigration

820
00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:36.840
is broken. Okay, all right, so you got you got

821
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:40.480
a fairly good observation there. So how are you going

822
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:41.159
to fix it?

823
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:42.880
Exactly?

824
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.239
This all goes back to the broken promise of the

825
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:48.400
nineteen eighty six amnesty. That whole point of that whole

826
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:50.280
amnesty was, Hey, look, we're just going to wipe the

827
00:47:50.320 --> 00:47:50.920
slate clean.

828
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:53.079
We're going to let all the employers off the hook.

829
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:55.320
We're going to let all the illegal workers off the hook.

830
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:57.719
But we are from this point forward, we are not

831
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:00.800
going to tolerate illegal hiring. They made it a crime.

832
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:03.440
Before nineteen eighty six, it was it wasn't a crime.

833
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:06.920
It was, but now it's it's been that's that's forty

834
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:11.280
years and counting now. But they've never required employers to

835
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:14.239
verify it. It's it's a don't ask, don't tell kind

836
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:18.559
of situation. And listen, these these blue states, they are

837
00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:22.440
passing sanctuary laws to protect illegal aliens in the country,

838
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:24.119
but these red states are going to get plenty of

839
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:27.639
illegal immigration as well, because they are protecting the illegal hiring.

840
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:30.679
So it's a different form of sanctuary, but it is

841
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:35.000
absolutely in the same ballpark as these more egregious sanctuary

842
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:38.159
policies that we've been fighting in states like you know,

843
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:43.559
Maryland and New Jersey and Virginia. In these red states Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Oklahoma,

844
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:47.480
South Dakota, West Virginia, on and on. Even Florida failed

845
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:51.239
to pass they were going to strengthen their Verify system.

846
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:54.119
The Florida House passed the bill. The Florida Senate.

847
00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:57.760
Said, no, this is protecting illegal workers and the people

848
00:48:57.760 --> 00:48:59.559
who profit off of illegal labor.

849
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:02.880
No, there's no way to sugarcoat that.

850
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:06.199
That is what this is and the continued illegal immigration

851
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:09.199
that we see the difficulty in actually reversing the Biden

852
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:12.760
border crisis. This lies at the feet of both parties.

853
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:15.480
They're going about it in different ways, but they are

854
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:18.559
failing the American people, and they are failing the test

855
00:49:18.599 --> 00:49:21.800
that voters put people into office at the state level

856
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.920
and at the federal level in twenty twenty four because

857
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:26.920
they were sick of the border crisis, they were sick

858
00:49:26.960 --> 00:49:29.679
of the overwhelmed communities. They wanted it stopped, and they

859
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:33.639
wanted it reversed. Now we got the border security temporarily

860
00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:37.360
because Congress hasn't solidified that in law yet either exactly.

861
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:38.840
But the reversal of this.

862
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:41.960
There are millions of people who are inadmissible to the

863
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:44.320
United States, who are still in the United States. They

864
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:47.679
are working illegally, and we are essentially paying them to

865
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:51.719
stay in the country illegally and denying those job opportunities

866
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:54.239
to legal workers, immigrant and native born alike.

867
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:57.239
And the way this thing is, I mean, it's such

868
00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:01.920
a fixed and rigged system. Is nobody voted on it.

869
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:05.400
It's being you know, all controlled by bureaucrats out there

870
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:09.159
in the shadows, allowing this to continue. You mentioned the

871
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:12.880
nineteen eighty six bill, you know, the once and for all.

872
00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:16.719
Don't ever ask me again. We're going, okay, will cry uncle,

873
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:19.360
We'll let you. We'll give you a pass on what

874
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:23.119
three million illegal immigrants I think at the time. And okay, no,

875
00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:26.880
we'll never come back. They never stopped coming back. It's ridiculous.

876
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:30.360
But and you make it a crime to hire illegals.

877
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:33.440
So did anybody get did anybody go to jail?

878
00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:40.800
The workplace enforcement has been just pathetic, pathetic, anemic. It

879
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:44.360
actually spiked very briefly, in terms of audits, the Obama

880
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:49.159
administration they probably did the best work site audit enforcement

881
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.159
in the last thirty years. They only did it for

882
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:54.400
a few months and then they kind of tailed off.

883
00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:59.800
Nobody's really nobody's really holding employers accountable. You know, we

884
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:02.400
need fines, and this is what we're pushing for at

885
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:05.480
Numbers USA is, you know, national laws. There are good

886
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:08.599
bills that have been introduced in this Congress that would

887
00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:11.920
require employers to use everify. It would require the Social

888
00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:16.199
Security Administration to notify people when Social Security numbers are

889
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:19.559
not matching their records or when they're being used in

890
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:24.719
multiple places, i e. Somebody's identity has been stolen. Right now,

891
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:28.320
the government knows. The government knows when an illegal alien

892
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:31.360
has stolen somebody's identity and is using it to work illegally,

893
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:35.519
but they don't notify anybody about it because they feel

894
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:38.639
like their job is just to collect the revenues. That's

895
00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:40.519
got to stop, too. There are bills in Congress to

896
00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:43.800
change that. That's what we're pushing to get past in

897
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:45.960
this Congress and in multiple congresses. And in the meantime,

898
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:48.440
the states can do a lot too, and as we've

899
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:49.239
been talking about.

900
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:51.800
They are just not holding up there into the bargain either.

901
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:55.320
We need to start thinking about this thing really critically.

902
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:56.719
Yes, it's a midterm year.

903
00:51:56.800 --> 00:51:59.039
Yes there's going to be a lot of rhetoric, you

904
00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:01.559
know about who really care about immigration enforcement and who

905
00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:03.280
doesn't look at the records.

906
00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:06.599
That's what we're doing here at Numbers USA. Everybody here

907
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:08.679
needs to be doing better.

908
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:11.800
Well, Jeremy, you know you're hearing stories of people, you know,

909
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:16.280
you talk about stolen ID and stolen social Security numbers

910
00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:18.920
in that were legal citizens all of a sudden are

911
00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:21.679
getting an audit from IRS saying, hey, wait a minute,

912
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:25.280
we're showing you made you know, seventy thousand dollars over

913
00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:29.000
here in whatever city not they don't even live in,

914
00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:32.800
never been in, and but somebody's captured their Social Security

915
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:36.239
number and now they're having guess what the IRS is

916
00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:39.679
too bad? Pay up? Pay up for what I didn't

917
00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:40.320
get the money.

918
00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:42.159
Yeah, that's right.

919
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.840
And you know this often comes back to haunt victims

920
00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:47.840
of identity theft much later. They've been you know, they've

921
00:52:47.840 --> 00:52:50.320
been being robbed from for years and they didn't realize it.

922
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:52.639
Then they go to apply for a loan for a

923
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:55.719
house or college or something like that, and they're denied

924
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:58.480
because it turns out that they're in huge debt because

925
00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:01.159
somebody's been running up debt under their identity.

926
00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:03.559
It's absolutely a scam.

927
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:07.599
There's probably a million victims of this in America right now,

928
00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:11.119
and we're just simply looking the other way, all apparently

929
00:53:11.199 --> 00:53:13.840
all for the benefit and profit of cheap labor.

930
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:19.000
It's just and I think it's it's deeper than that,

931
00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:20.920
it's cheap labor. But also, you know, one of the

932
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:24.320
things we've been harping on here recently is that you

933
00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:26.280
have to think in terms of you know, forget about

934
00:53:26.280 --> 00:53:30.599
the party, the partisan politics. You know, it's us against

935
00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:33.039
them kind of deal, and it really still is us

936
00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:36.559
against them, but the US is are you pro American?

937
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:41.920
Are you anti American? Okay? In order to protect this

938
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:46.079
democratic republic, which Benjamin Franklin said, if you can keep

939
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:50.480
it right, you've got to honor those things that support

940
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:55.599
and reinforce the foundation of a democratic republic. And you

941
00:53:55.760 --> 00:53:58.960
have people out there that could care less for their

942
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:02.199
own greed self present. Call it what you want, but

943
00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:06.440
they are anti American and they're living, they're they're with us,

944
00:54:06.599 --> 00:54:09.679
and we think they're all, you know, fellow citizens, and

945
00:54:09.679 --> 00:54:14.320
that well, guess what, they're undermining the future of America,

946
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:17.039
the future of your kids, your grandkids and all that

947
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:20.000
you've worked your butt off for. Said, because this is

948
00:54:20.039 --> 00:54:22.400
the right thing to do, and there are people out

949
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:24.119
there they don't care about the right thing.

950
00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:26.320
Yeah, well, I mean, let's just go back to the

951
00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:28.960
you know, the proverbial immigrant that we were talking about

952
00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:32.360
at the beginning of our conversation. You know, the American dream,

953
00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:36.239
the American promise is that you come here, you work hard.

954
00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:38.840
You don't have to be a rocket scientist. If you

955
00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:41.000
have a good quality of character and a good work

956
00:54:41.039 --> 00:54:43.559
ethic and you put in the time you can, you

957
00:54:43.599 --> 00:54:47.239
can live a decent, middle class life. We know that

958
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:51.000
that dream has become a fantasy for most Americans right now.

959
00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:53.599
And immigration is a part of it. It's not it's

960
00:54:53.599 --> 00:54:55.639
not the whole it's not the whole picture, but it's

961
00:54:55.639 --> 00:54:58.199
a significant part of it. When you when you simply

962
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.199
have laws on the books that say, yeah, and it's

963
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:02.559
illegal to hire somebody who's not authorized to work in

964
00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:06.159
the United States, but you don't have to check yeah, right,

965
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:09.039
And this of course diminishes our trust in our institutions

966
00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:09.519
as well.

967
00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:11.000
People have a reason to.

968
00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:14.760
Be skeptical that their elected officials actually have their interests

969
00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:18.159
at heart. This is a perfect example for all the

970
00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:20.519
talk that we've had about like, oh my goodness, we

971
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:23.440
should never let this crazy border crisis thing happen again.

972
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:27.639
What has been done at the workplace? Nothing?

973
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:28.519
Right?

974
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:31.559
Yeah, and it comes down to at who's expense, Jeremy.

975
00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:34.320
There's no such thing as a free lunch. We know that,

976
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:36.440
but I'll tell you what, there's some people that are

977
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:38.719
bound and determined to make sure free lunches are still

978
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:39.840
out there and available.

979
00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:42.960
These Americans, these whether they're native born or foreign born,

980
00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:47.000
these American workers who are losing these economic opportunities because

981
00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:50.880
of illegal employment, they don't just disappear. They're still in society.

982
00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:53.159
We still have to deal with them. They may become

983
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:57.280
more dependent on welfare, they require more services, more support

984
00:55:57.320 --> 00:56:00.159
because they're not they're being denied the opportunity to to

985
00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:03.800
live self sufficient lives of dignity. So it ends up

986
00:56:03.800 --> 00:56:06.159
coming back on the taxpayer. Even if you are not

987
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:10.360
personally impacted by illegal hiring, by somebody getting a job

988
00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:13.360
or you didn't get it because somebody else did. You're

989
00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:15.360
paying for it through your taxes because we have to

990
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:19.400
support these Americans who are being denied, these self sustaining

991
00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:23.000
lives of dignity. It's something it's unconsfortable and really has

992
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:23.599
to change.

993
00:56:24.119 --> 00:56:27.199
Well, he's co president Numbers Usay Jeremy Beck. Jeremy Where

Bill Martinez Live.

1019
00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:49.840
Wel good morning America, six minutes after the top of

1020
00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:52.880
the hour, right now, and we've got Scott Powell joining us.

1021
00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:54.960
He's the author, member of the Committee on this Present

1022
00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:57.880
Danger of China, senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and

1023
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:01.000
author of his timeless book Rediscover Bring America. Just in

1024
00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:04.320
time for our two hundred and fiftieth year anniversary. Hey,

1025
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:07.920
mister Scott, how you doing. I'm doing well, built well.

1026
00:58:08.280 --> 00:58:11.760
Lots to talk about here, you know, the the war

1027
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:14.559
here we are less than two weeks and the way

1028
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:17.639
this is being conducted. You know, I think there's a

1029
00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:21.360
lot of people who are pro American, you know, standing

1030
00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:25.199
up with their hands over their heart, you know, chanting

1031
00:58:25.360 --> 00:58:30.719
Usa USA, because you know, we're responding to the cry

1032
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:33.320
for freedom from the Iranian people.

1033
00:58:36.960 --> 00:58:40.119
I would agree, well, and.

1034
00:58:40.519 --> 00:58:44.480
You say, now you've been writing about, you know, the

1035
00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:48.320
MAGA response to this, which is the base of Trump

1036
00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:52.360
and his presidency, are very pro this. The polling indicates

1037
00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:56.719
that there is an increase in you know, popularity and

1038
00:58:57.840 --> 00:59:01.280
noted effectiveness by this president. This president is doing something

1039
00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:04.239
that you know, people they other presidents have talked about,

1040
00:59:04.519 --> 00:59:07.559
people have been waiting for, and here it is. Uh

1041
00:59:07.599 --> 00:59:10.719
and uh, you know, Donald Trump is is breaking some

1042
00:59:10.760 --> 00:59:13.840
traditions and making things happen. And I think this is

1043
00:59:14.239 --> 00:59:18.440
endemic of his administration and it's frustrating that he's not

1044
00:59:19.320 --> 00:59:22.440
getting that message across to the rest of the Republicans.

1045
00:59:22.440 --> 00:59:25.440
He's elected officials, not so much in Congress, but certainly

1046
00:59:25.480 --> 00:59:25.960
in the Senate.

1047
00:59:26.039 --> 00:59:30.599
Scott, Yeah, it is. It's a very you know, it's

1048
00:59:30.599 --> 00:59:31.920
a tough situation to be in.

1049
00:59:32.039 --> 00:59:35.760
You know, we you know, in the American in the

1050
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:39.280
American mind are the are the misguided?

1051
00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:41.159
Overseas?

1052
00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:49.119
Uh, you know, foreign policies of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Uh,

1053
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:52.719
it sort of makes it hard for people to trust that,

1054
00:59:53.719 --> 00:59:57.679
you know, we can really well, regime change is something

1055
00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:01.599
that most people feel that we can that's a no.

1056
01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:02.760
No, we shouldn't try to do that.

1057
01:00:03.920 --> 01:00:06.760
So now we're really almost in the business of regime

1058
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:12.159
regime change in Iran because you know, we're committed to

1059
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:17.400
defeating their military capability, but we also recognize that unless

1060
01:00:17.840 --> 01:00:20.119
there is a change at the top, then we're going

1061
01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:21.760
to have to deal with this problem again.

1062
01:00:22.480 --> 01:00:25.519
Right, Well, because that's been the case, we haven't and

1063
01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:27.800
it keeps repeating itself and it gets worse. I mean,

1064
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:31.639
you've got estimates of forty to sixty thousand Iranians murdered

1065
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:35.039
in the streets by the IRGC and local law enforcement there.

1066
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:38.400
And they are already threatening the people even now as

1067
01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:43.360
they hold on to their you know, their precious control

1068
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:47.920
of Iran ever so ever so tightly, as it's slipping

1069
01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:51.239
through their fingers, as all their military assets are being

1070
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:55.159
destroyed along with their leaderships gott and and they've threatened

1071
01:00:55.159 --> 01:00:56.599
the people. They said, hey, look at if you come

1072
01:00:56.599 --> 01:00:59.039
out of the street, we're going to treat you like

1073
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:02.480
a combatant. So the only people that are coming on

1074
01:01:02.519 --> 01:01:04.840
the street are the people that are supporting the IETOLA.

1075
01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:08.760
Right, I think that's the case right now, Yes, right.

1076
01:01:09.480 --> 01:01:11.920
So they they you know, if you and I talked

1077
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:15.400
about for the last several weeks here Iranians that are

1078
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:18.760
having their Patrick Henry moment of give me liberty or

1079
01:01:18.800 --> 01:01:21.199
give me death, and they put on the line. So

1080
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:24.480
and Trump has told them, look at We're gonna accommodate you.

1081
01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:27.360
We're giving you space and time. When it's ready, you

1082
01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:29.360
need to take over your government. This is going to

1083
01:01:29.400 --> 01:01:32.480
be your government. So the regime change will be changed

1084
01:01:32.480 --> 01:01:36.840
from you know, bottom up, not top down, and not

1085
01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:39.760
not from the United States. It'll be the people's voice

1086
01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:43.719
there in Iran choosing who they want to run their country.

1087
01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:46.880
And you know, they've gone through monarchs, they've gone through

1088
01:01:47.360 --> 01:01:50.440
religious zealots, and they want to return They got a

1089
01:01:50.440 --> 01:01:52.960
little bit of taste of it with you know, with

1090
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:56.320
the Shaw before he went overboard, a little taste of

1091
01:01:56.360 --> 01:02:00.519
democracy and freedom, and they want to grasp to That

1092
01:02:00.679 --> 01:02:03.480
is the sentiment that I'm getting from the streets of Iran,

1093
01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:05.280
from the people that are able to talk.

1094
01:02:06.280 --> 01:02:08.039
I would I would agree with you. I would agree

1095
01:02:08.039 --> 01:02:09.760
with you. But they're they're really in.

1096
01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:13.519
A tough position now where they as you just pointed out,

1097
01:02:13.519 --> 01:02:16.239
they can't get into the streets without risking their lives.

1098
01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:19.480
These people don't have any arms too, So you know,

1099
01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:22.719
I have recommended that one of the one of the

1100
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:25.800
strategies we should be we should be doing is to

1101
01:02:26.079 --> 01:02:30.280
arm the Iranian people themselves so that they can get

1102
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:32.159
the job done so we don't.

1103
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:34.760
Have It may come down to that, because the fact

1104
01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:36.480
of the matter is in the war's God as you know,

1105
01:02:38.039 --> 01:02:41.280
you know, everybody's all perplexed and they're all clutching their

1106
01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:44.239
pearls about boots on the ground, just about winning the war,

1107
01:02:44.719 --> 01:02:46.199
and you've got to do what it takes to win

1108
01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:48.519
the war. And I know they don't want to talk

1109
01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:52.159
about it because the media goes crazy and they don't

1110
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:53.800
even know what they're talking about. Most of these people

1111
01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:56.400
have never been in a war and they don't understand that.

1112
01:02:57.360 --> 01:03:00.360
You know, war always comes down when when you come

1113
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:02.840
down to the final days and you're gonna as as

1114
01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:07.039
Trump is, his goal is unconditional surrender. The only way

1115
01:03:07.039 --> 01:03:09.440
you can get unconditional surrender is you've got to root

1116
01:03:09.480 --> 01:03:12.679
everybody out. It's like what we're experiencing in Gaza right now. Scott,

1117
01:03:13.719 --> 01:03:17.199
you know, you've got what the Hamas is still holding

1118
01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:21.079
about forty five percent of the land there in in

1119
01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:23.440
the gaza, and the only way you're going to get

1120
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:25.159
them out is you're going to have to go face

1121
01:03:25.199 --> 01:03:27.559
to face, toe to toe and get them out of there.

1122
01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:30.480
Because these are religious villas, these are death cults, and

1123
01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:34.440
they fight, they fight to the death. And most Americans

1124
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:36.880
Western civil we don't think that way. We think, Okay,

1125
01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:40.199
all right, you kicked our butt, Okay, you win. I'll

1126
01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:43.079
play nice for a while until whatever. I take some

1127
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:44.880
extra vitamins and I think I want to come back

1128
01:03:44.920 --> 01:03:48.559
and you know, and try this again. But no, these

1129
01:03:48.599 --> 01:03:51.159
people are down. They're down to the final moments they

1130
01:03:51.199 --> 01:03:54.960
want uh, They're they're going to die holding their gun

1131
01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:57.239
and they're going to go out in the blaze of glory.

1132
01:03:57.280 --> 01:04:00.119
It's not going to be a situation where they're just

1133
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:02.039
going to put down their arms and for the sake

1134
01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:04.239
of some sort of pardon. They could care less. It

1135
01:04:04.280 --> 01:04:07.079
sounds nice, I mean, Trump has offered that opportunity for them,

1136
01:04:07.239 --> 01:04:10.239
but they're not interested. It's the wrong gospel, wrong church, Scott,

1137
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:11.360
that's right.

1138
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:16.440
No, this is a phenomena that we're not we're really

1139
01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:19.199
equipped to deal with people like this, but we you know,

1140
01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:21.519
history has put us in this time to deal with it,

1141
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:25.760
and I think we have to get behind our president

1142
01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:30.000
and support him. He has the best intelligence and I

1143
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:34.800
think all things considered, he has pretty good judgment on matters.

1144
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:38.639
So yeah, look at what he's doing. To your point, Scott,

1145
01:04:38.679 --> 01:04:41.360
he's moving the ball up the field. He really, I mean,

1146
01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:45.519
we're progressing in a way that is just incredible. You

1147
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:48.039
know how quick you know the team is working together.

1148
01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:51.119
But this is what happens when you have people that

1149
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:54.719
are precision focused, you get precision results, as Pete Hex

1150
01:04:54.800 --> 01:04:59.360
has said, and you know they are focused on the

1151
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:02.719
ethos of their mission, you know, to get the job done,

1152
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:06.199
to win the war, not to extend something out for

1153
01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:11.239
twenty years because the industrial complex can benefit, you know, monetarily. No,

1154
01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:13.559
we need to get in, get out, let the people.

1155
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:16.559
You know, they want freedom. You know, they've already invested

1156
01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:20.599
something like fifty sixty thousand lives for the sake of

1157
01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:24.199
free Their blood is on the streets there in Iran,

1158
01:05:25.079 --> 01:05:28.280
and they deserve a shot at it. And whatever we

1159
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:31.400
can do to help facilitate it. I'm you know, I'm

1160
01:05:31.480 --> 01:05:33.440
for it. And there's a way, you know, But we

1161
01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:35.519
need to get people all in the and it's going

1162
01:05:35.599 --> 01:05:38.599
to be impossible because you know, like you said, when

1163
01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:42.000
we do stuff like this, it's it deals with the minority,

1164
01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:44.199
the majority of people. They don't want to go to war.

1165
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:46.599
You know, they're okay, you don't want to go to

1166
01:05:46.639 --> 01:05:50.199
war until your back end is being handed to you

1167
01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:53.440
and you have no guns, you have no free speech,

1168
01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:56.039
and get you get your head knocked off and your

1169
01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:58.519
kids and your family are being killed, and then you go,

1170
01:05:59.199 --> 01:06:01.480
we should have went, well, well, you missed the timing.

1171
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:03.679
There's a time to go to war, and there's a

1172
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:06.679
time for peace, you know, as the Bible says, and

1173
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:09.519
God forbid that you screw up on the timing. Right.

1174
01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:12.880
Very well, said Bill, very well said.

1175
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:16.400
Well, the people got to get together. I mean, this

1176
01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:20.159
is about being unified, and our country needs unity, and

1177
01:06:20.199 --> 01:06:22.800
we need to know who what voices we're listening to,

1178
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:26.679
and this will play itself out. I'm very optimistic about this,

1179
01:06:26.719 --> 01:06:29.239
and I think I'm very hopeful for America that this

1180
01:06:29.320 --> 01:06:32.079
will be a good sign, you know, for us and

1181
01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:36.639
bring us together, especially on our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.

1182
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:38.679
We've got to go to quick Break. Stay with us.

1183
01:06:38.719 --> 01:06:40.519
We've got more from Scott Powell after this.

1184
01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:44.239
Why do I go to the doctor? Working on the farm?

1185
01:06:44.360 --> 01:06:46.679
My heart kept skipping a beat. I didn't think much

1186
01:06:46.679 --> 01:06:48.840
of it, but my daughters made me get checked out.

1187
01:06:49.079 --> 01:06:52.320
Turns out I have atrial fibrillation, which increases the risk

1188
01:06:52.360 --> 01:06:54.239
of stroke about five times.

1189
01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:57.840
Symptoms like a regular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness

1190
01:06:57.840 --> 01:07:00.800
of breath, fatigue, or lightheadedness come come go. But if

1191
01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:03.199
it's a FIB, the risk of stroke remains. If you

1192
01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:06.559
have symptoms, contact a doctor. I'm so glad I did

Hey, we're back with you, Bill Martinez here with Scott Powell,

1271
01:11:16.079 --> 01:11:17.760
Senior Fellows the Discovery Institute.

1272
01:11:17.920 --> 01:11:18.399
His book.

1273
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:20.880
You've got to read his book if you haven't had

1274
01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:24.600
your hands on it. It is worthy of your time

1275
01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:28.680
and your investment rediscovering America, especially in light as we've

1276
01:11:28.720 --> 01:11:31.640
been saying our two hundred and fiftieth year anniversary. Scott,

1277
01:11:31.680 --> 01:11:35.119
you bring so much, you know, to the forefront here,

1278
01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:38.239
things that aren't taught in school, things that we don't

1279
01:11:38.399 --> 01:11:41.760
talk about because too many Americans are just interested in

1280
01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:44.840
arguing and fussing and instead of just pausing for a

1281
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:48.760
moment and being thankful for this great American idea that God,

1282
01:11:48.800 --> 01:11:52.960
Almighty of all people, he could have given this to anybody, Scott,

1283
01:11:53.159 --> 01:11:56.119
but he decided to give it to we the people.

1284
01:11:56.800 --> 01:11:59.760
Yes, yeah, well, it just it came on a remarkable

1285
01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:03.479
thing foundation, you know, of Christian history that had to

1286
01:12:03.479 --> 01:12:08.079
go through a reformation first, the Reformation of you know,

1287
01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:12.680
fifteen seventeen, you know, changed the course of Christianity. It

1288
01:12:12.720 --> 01:12:16.960
brought reform to the church, and it brought a new

1289
01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:20.600
sense of a personal relationship with God and the need

1290
01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:25.680
for people to be free, and that desire for freedom

1291
01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:29.640
drove Columbus across the sea. The New World was discovered,

1292
01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:32.760
and so it was that that, you know, the way

1293
01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:36.920
to colonization. Christian colonization in America took place in the

1294
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:41.439
next century, and every colony was founded by Christians.

1295
01:12:41.479 --> 01:12:43.319
And we while we're not.

1296
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:47.880
A Christian nature in Christian nation as a government, Christian

1297
01:12:48.000 --> 01:12:53.520
principles are behind all of our governmental institutions.

1298
01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:56.159
Right you know you and you said it so perfectly, Scott.

1299
01:12:56.640 --> 01:13:00.960
Is that without the foundation, without the moral foundation that

1300
01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:05.399
Christianity lays down, you don't have this great American idea.

1301
01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:09.880
This is why John Adams said our constitution, our government

1302
01:13:10.039 --> 01:13:13.840
was designed for a moral and religious people. You take

1303
01:13:13.920 --> 01:13:16.920
that and the Constitution implodes on itself. And look what's

1304
01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:20.039
happening in these areas, these goofy areas where we think

1305
01:13:20.079 --> 01:13:22.520
we know better and we turn our back on God.

1306
01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:24.840
Look what's happening. We're so confused. We don't even know

1307
01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:27.359
what bathroom to use, We don't know if boys should

1308
01:13:27.359 --> 01:13:30.760
be playing in gross sports. I mean, this is an

1309
01:13:30.880 --> 01:13:34.359
upside down, kooky kind of world here. And you know,

1310
01:13:34.399 --> 01:13:36.319
people need to see this, you know, it's like, hey,

1311
01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:39.039
you're not wrong, You're not wrong in calling this out.

1312
01:13:39.439 --> 01:13:42.399
You know, they're wrong for trying to do something that's

1313
01:13:42.479 --> 01:13:45.840
unnatural at the expense. I guess what of the next

1314
01:13:45.880 --> 01:13:48.560
generation's coming up, Scott, because they're the ones that are

1315
01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:49.239
paying the price.

1316
01:13:49.319 --> 01:13:53.840
Right, absolutely, absolutely no. So many of our problems can

1317
01:13:53.880 --> 01:13:58.479
be lifted from us if we only had a spiritual

1318
01:13:58.520 --> 01:14:06.520
revival in America of you know, gendered confusion, transgenderism it.

1319
01:14:07.359 --> 01:14:11.119
You know who's talking about it from the right perspective,

1320
01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:13.560
which is that God created us man and woman.

1321
01:14:13.399 --> 01:14:14.159
Boy and girl.

1322
01:14:14.600 --> 01:14:19.039
Yeah, and you can't you can't redefine human nature because

1323
01:14:19.079 --> 01:14:22.479
you want to. You are born biologically by God's principles

1324
01:14:22.520 --> 01:14:26.640
in a certain way. And and when we had clarity

1325
01:14:26.680 --> 01:14:29.880
on that, life was a lot better. Now we're having

1326
01:14:29.880 --> 01:14:33.199
all kinds of turmoil because you know, we're no longer

1327
01:14:33.600 --> 01:14:38.319
you know, living freely within God's boundaries. We've exceeded those boundaries,

1328
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:40.319
and chaos has ensued.

1329
01:14:41.039 --> 01:14:43.720
Well, and it's not like we hadn't been warned. I mean,

1330
01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:46.880
the number one selling book, Scott still is the Bible,

1331
01:14:47.640 --> 01:14:50.800
and it's on many shelves across America. But I say,

1332
01:14:50.840 --> 01:14:53.000
it shouldn't be on the shelf, it should be open

1333
01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:56.640
on your lap. And you read these things and you see,

1334
01:14:56.960 --> 01:14:59.760
God warned us, told us exactly, this is what you

1335
01:14:59.800 --> 01:15:01.800
get when you're with God. Here's what you get when

1336
01:15:01.840 --> 01:15:05.359
you're not with God. So now we're seeing quite clearly

1337
01:15:05.800 --> 01:15:08.800
what it is, what life in America is or anywhere

1338
01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:12.760
without you know, without God Almighty, and we're paying that price.

1339
01:15:12.800 --> 01:15:16.199
So how how many more suicides do we have to endure?

1340
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:18.920
How many more murders do we have to endure of

1341
01:15:18.960 --> 01:15:22.840
our family members? The heartbreak that goes on? How many

1342
01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:26.600
more addictions? How many more divorces, how many more families

1343
01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:29.600
broken up that the kids you know that our grandkids

1344
01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:33.079
are devastated over Scott. How many more do we have

1345
01:15:33.159 --> 01:15:35.760
to go through? How many more abortions do we have

1346
01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:39.079
to go through before we realize that, look at, we

1347
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:42.560
have offended a holy God. And if you want the

1348
01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:45.439
ship to get righted, and you want things, you want

1349
01:15:45.479 --> 01:15:49.039
peace on earth, then look at, you better realign yourself

1350
01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:54.039
with godly principles. Otherwise you know, good luck. And there's

1351
01:15:54.039 --> 01:15:57.159
no doubt. I mean, we know from the Bible that

1352
01:15:57.279 --> 01:16:01.680
eventually it'll all go to Hell in a handbasket before

1353
01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:07.479
Jesus comes back again. All we know that. But meanwhile, okay,

1354
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:11.560
knowing that you better be prepared and at least for

1355
01:16:11.640 --> 01:16:13.479
you and your house, decide who in the heck you're

1356
01:16:13.479 --> 01:16:14.000
going to serve?

1357
01:16:14.119 --> 01:16:19.239
Right, absolutely, absolutely, well, of course you know, the way

1358
01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:23.119
back to God is for us to acknowledge our failure,

1359
01:16:23.159 --> 01:16:28.680
our sin and repentance is the foundation of any people

1360
01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:30.960
that want to return to God. And I think that

1361
01:16:31.199 --> 01:16:36.000
our role as Christians, as believers is really to repent

1362
01:16:36.079 --> 01:16:39.039
for those who can't repent in America, and there certainly

1363
01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:42.000
are a lot of people who have no moral compass

1364
01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:45.319
and therefore they're not in a position to repent. But

1365
01:16:45.479 --> 01:16:50.159
we who know can repent for the nation, and I

1366
01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:51.399
think we're called to do that.

1367
01:16:52.880 --> 01:16:55.560
They will see the difference in us to such a

1368
01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:59.359
degree good, they'll say, hey, what do you got, What's

1369
01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:03.399
what's the man in Scott Powell? Why are you at peace?

1370
01:17:04.079 --> 01:17:04.199
Well?

1371
01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:07.159
Why are you so settled? And of course the Bible says,

1372
01:17:07.199 --> 01:17:09.680
you know, be prepared at any time to give a

1373
01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:12.720
reason for the hope that you have. Right, And so

1374
01:17:13.119 --> 01:17:17.319
Christians have to speak out boldly and understanding that you

1375
01:17:17.319 --> 01:17:19.560
know because right now we can still speak out boldly.

1376
01:17:19.920 --> 01:17:22.760
You know, yeah, you get canceled, and you may you know,

1377
01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:26.279
people may try to hurt your feelings. But you know,

1378
01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:32.079
I choose not to subordinate my feelings to other interests.

1379
01:17:32.159 --> 01:17:36.199
You know, I choose to have my feelings attached to

1380
01:17:36.239 --> 01:17:39.239
God Almighty. Do I do that one hundred percent? And

1381
01:17:39.279 --> 01:17:42.039
I'm not perfect, you know, I have less than moments.

1382
01:17:42.239 --> 01:17:44.880
But you know, those less than moments remind me of

1383
01:17:44.920 --> 01:17:47.600
the times when I am connected with God and it

1384
01:17:47.640 --> 01:17:50.760
goes well and it makes sense and peace is there.

1385
01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:53.880
So I go, Okay, I know the difference, right.

1386
01:17:54.560 --> 01:17:57.920
Yes, yes, well this is clearly harvest time. I mean,

1387
01:17:57.960 --> 01:18:00.840
we can see it in the post Charlie Kirk World.

1388
01:18:01.039 --> 01:18:01.439
Charlie.

1389
01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:05.560
Charlie of course, was a wonderful young Christian leader and

1390
01:18:05.600 --> 01:18:09.000
his you know, his murder has resulted in a bit

1391
01:18:09.039 --> 01:18:12.600
of a spiritual revival among young people exactly, And so

1392
01:18:12.760 --> 01:18:16.119
the people are searching more now than ever with all

1393
01:18:16.159 --> 01:18:19.840
of the confusion, the moral confusion, we do have a

1394
01:18:19.880 --> 01:18:24.840
great opportunity to you know, to witness and see spiritual

1395
01:18:24.920 --> 01:18:31.479
revival because people are anxious, they're confused, and they need

1396
01:18:31.600 --> 01:18:34.960
they need us to lead them back into God's.

1397
01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:38.920
Ways, and they need God's Church, and in God's Church

1398
01:18:39.039 --> 01:18:42.000
needs to be aligned with what God is doing right now, Scott,

1399
01:18:42.039 --> 01:18:44.800
You're exactly right. There is such a movement of God.

1400
01:18:45.119 --> 01:18:47.439
And the thing is is that look what happened when

1401
01:18:47.560 --> 01:18:51.000
Jesus wept, right, when he wept over Jerusalem? Why did

1402
01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:53.319
he weep over Jerusalem? Scott? Do you remember?

1403
01:18:54.600 --> 01:18:55.680
Well? Of course, you know.

1404
01:18:57.560 --> 01:19:02.680
It was that Jerusalem was lost by and large, you know,

1405
01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:04.960
the chosen people rejected Jesus.

1406
01:19:04.720 --> 01:19:09.159
Christ right, and yeah, Jesus said, you know, to add

1407
01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:12.760
to that, he said, because they missed their appointed time.

1408
01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:14.079
That's right.

1409
01:19:14.680 --> 01:19:19.039
So here we are, is this our appointed time for

1410
01:19:19.159 --> 01:19:23.159
this generation that God's Church should come together. These churches

1411
01:19:23.199 --> 01:19:25.720
that picked up on some of these goofy things that

1412
01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:30.439
are unbiblical need to get their acts together and they

1413
01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:33.359
need to align themselves with the truth of God, with

1414
01:19:33.399 --> 01:19:35.520
what God said. Well, let's go back to the garden.

1415
01:19:35.680 --> 01:19:40.359
You know, you kind of refer to this indirectly. You know,

1416
01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:42.680
we get into that situation and we want to hear

1417
01:19:42.720 --> 01:19:45.960
the voice of Satan saying, did God really say? Well,

1418
01:19:45.960 --> 01:19:50.159
of course he said, okay, but he throws up that

1419
01:19:50.239 --> 01:19:54.000
little question of doubt. Did God really say? Did God

1420
01:19:54.039 --> 01:19:57.680
really say that I created them man and woman? You know,

1421
01:19:58.039 --> 01:20:00.640
And if you have to pause to answer that question,

1422
01:20:01.239 --> 01:20:03.760
then you need to be in the word a little

1423
01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:07.560
bit more because God was real clear and you've had

1424
01:20:07.600 --> 01:20:11.439
any doubt, Just study the first eleven books of Genesis.

1425
01:20:11.680 --> 01:20:14.600
Everything that we're dealing with right now, it's right there

1426
01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:18.359
in the first eleven books of Genesis. Go back to

1427
01:20:18.439 --> 01:20:19.640
the beginning, right.

1428
01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:26.359
Yes, absolutely, Genesis is you know, Genesis is really the

1429
01:20:26.359 --> 01:20:28.520
the anchor of everything else.

1430
01:20:28.680 --> 01:20:33.439
Right, I mean, it's like God's manifesto. You know, Hey,

1431
01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:35.600
I love you, I love you, and this is how

1432
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:37.640
you'll benefit. Yeah, you know, I.

1433
01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:40.880
Goes and and God, you know, God love, who loves us,

1434
01:20:41.399 --> 01:20:46.319
wants us to live fulfilled, meaningful and joyful lives. That's

1435
01:20:46.439 --> 01:20:50.119
that's what he wants for us. We want the same thing,

1436
01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:53.159
but we we we can't get there without going through.

1437
01:20:53.039 --> 01:20:56.920
Him, right exactly. Yeah, this isn't McDonald's have it your way,

1438
01:20:57.000 --> 01:20:59.279

01:25:21.079 --> 01:25:28.640
for Patriots, Hey.

1517
01:25:28.479 --> 01:25:31.920
Welcome back America. Bill Martinez here with the doctor George Barna,

1518
01:25:32.000 --> 01:25:35.039
the infamous, the one and only, to talk about his

1519
01:25:35.600 --> 01:25:39.920
latest study that is finding the churchgoers are tipping towards

1520
01:25:40.119 --> 01:25:44.800
socialism and away from scripture. Are you shocked and surprised?

1521
01:25:46.399 --> 01:25:48.680
I'm not personally. I mean it's a continuation of a

1522
01:25:48.760 --> 01:25:51.920
treat and I've been tracking for forty years. This is

1523
01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:55.840
just the latest iteration of it. But yeah, I mean, nevertheless,

1524
01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:59.000
I'm the reason I keep tracking it is that I'm

1525
01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:01.720
hopeful that at some point Christian leaders will hear some

1526
01:26:01.920 --> 01:26:04.720
of this and they'll say, oh, my gosh, that's not

1527
01:26:04.760 --> 01:26:06.680
the way it's supposed to be. We better do something

1528
01:26:06.720 --> 01:26:09.600
about it, right, great plan, let's do something about it.

1529
01:26:10.039 --> 01:26:12.840
Well it's almost like, you know, it's one thing for leaders,

1530
01:26:12.840 --> 01:26:16.560
but the other thing is the people themselves to say, oh,

1531
01:26:16.640 --> 01:26:19.239
you know what, I'm going to forget about the stove

1532
01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:21.880
being hot. I'm going to go ahead and put my

1533
01:26:21.920 --> 01:26:24.520
hand on a hot stove once again. I'm going to

1534
01:26:24.560 --> 01:26:26.159
go and you and I've talked about this as well.

1535
01:26:26.199 --> 01:26:28.159
I'm going to go ahead and defy gravity because I

1536
01:26:28.199 --> 01:26:33.239
don't think God exists. Okay, And after you have enough

1537
01:26:33.279 --> 01:26:36.199
carnage and people are tired of being stupid and injured,

1538
01:26:36.399 --> 01:26:40.119
they finally say, oh, maybe we ought to rethink these theories, right,

1539
01:26:40.159 --> 01:26:43.960
because you know, again we're reminded one of the wisest

1540
01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:47.880
men we're told, Solomon himself, said there's nothing new under

1541
01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:50.479
the sun. And so here we are. We're in this

1542
01:26:51.279 --> 01:26:56.640
human disease factory that just keeps on repeating all this silliness,

1543
01:26:56.680 --> 01:27:00.359
thinking that somehow there's going to be a pony under

1544
01:27:00.399 --> 01:27:02.399
all that manure that's stocked up for us.

1545
01:27:03.479 --> 01:27:07.279
Well, yeah, and so part of what this study did.

1546
01:27:07.439 --> 01:27:11.039
We did this in conjunction with Family Research Council because

1547
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:14.279
they're working with thousands of churches and millions of individual

1548
01:27:14.359 --> 01:27:19.680
Christians who are conservative in terms of their political persuasion,

1549
01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:22.840
and they want to see the country return to its

1550
01:27:22.920 --> 01:27:27.000
biblical roots. Great, but then we do this kind of

1551
01:27:27.079 --> 01:27:30.399
research with churched people, and that's what this study was,

1552
01:27:30.439 --> 01:27:35.279
among people who consistently go to church Christian churches, and

1553
01:27:35.319 --> 01:27:39.479
we find that, wow, their worldview is so far off

1554
01:27:39.560 --> 01:27:46.199
the mark, even though they're attending conservative churches. They're conservative politically.

1555
01:27:46.840 --> 01:27:48.720
You know. We've got a third of them who say

1556
01:27:48.760 --> 01:27:53.479
they prefer socialism to capitalism. You've got another quarter of

1557
01:27:53.520 --> 01:27:55.359
them who say, well, gee, I don't know which one

1558
01:27:55.399 --> 01:27:58.319
would be better, really, you know, And then you look

1559
01:27:58.359 --> 01:28:01.319
at their worldview, you look at their views about success

1560
01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:06.560
and purpose and salvation and truth and the Bible and

1561
01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:11.119
so forth, and it's minorities of these people. These are

1562
01:28:11.319 --> 01:28:13.880
our best and our brightest, so to speak. When we

1563
01:28:14.039 --> 01:28:17.319
like the church world they don't get it. They don't

1564
01:28:17.319 --> 01:28:19.960
have a biblical worldview. You know, only eleven percent have

1565
01:28:20.039 --> 01:28:23.600
a biblical worldview. So yeah, I mean we've got to

1566
01:28:24.720 --> 01:28:28.520
rethink the entire approach that we're taking in ministry because

1567
01:28:28.520 --> 01:28:31.119
it's that whole definition of insanity. Keep doing the same

1568
01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:34.600
thing over and over and think, oh, yeah, tomorrow they'll

1569
01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:38.880
have a biblical worldview. Tomorrow they'll understand that socialism kills

1570
01:28:38.880 --> 01:28:41.479
the culture. You know. No, I mean we've got to

1571
01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:44.199
be much more direct and take a whole different approach.

1572
01:28:44.960 --> 01:28:49.039
Jesus gave us the approach. It's called discipleship, and you know,

1573
01:28:49.119 --> 01:28:53.239
we're simply not practicing it. We think programs and big

1574
01:28:53.239 --> 01:28:54.199
events are the way to.

1575
01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:56.880
Go exactly well. And the thing is, I think it's

1576
01:28:56.920 --> 01:29:00.000
interesting that we're talking about this topic, not only because

1577
01:29:00.199 --> 01:29:03.119
what happened in New York, but also that here we

1578
01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:07.279
are on the eve of Thanksgiving and we've got Thanksgiving

1579
01:29:07.319 --> 01:29:11.199
Week coming upon us here, which I love. And look,

1580
01:29:12.199 --> 01:29:15.960
look what happened with the Pilgrims. They experimented with socialism,

1581
01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:19.880
and I think it was quite ironic because here the Pilgrims,

1582
01:29:20.800 --> 01:29:25.119
you know, were enscunched. I mean, they had bathed themselves

1583
01:29:25.159 --> 01:29:29.159
in scripture, in prayer and fasting, you know, seeking God

1584
01:29:29.199 --> 01:29:31.760
for some twelve years fight let us have a place

1585
01:29:31.760 --> 01:29:34.680
where we could worship you freely. Right, And so they

1586
01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:39.920
come to America and they land up end up by accident.

1587
01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:48.399
It wasn't their main target in Massachusetts, and they experiment

1588
01:29:48.479 --> 01:29:54.399
with socialism and after two years they go, this ain't working.

1589
01:29:55.199 --> 01:29:59.199
And they learned the hard way that socialism. Fortunately they

1590
01:29:59.199 --> 01:30:01.880
didn't have to do what what other socialists did and

1591
01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:04.319
murdering a bunch of people. Because that's the other thing

1592
01:30:04.319 --> 01:30:05.840
because even in the modern era, in the last one

1593
01:30:05.880 --> 01:30:10.640
hundred years, socialism or any of the isms, communism and

1594
01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:14.159
you know, the founders of communism said, look at socialism

1595
01:30:14.319 --> 01:30:18.039
is just a nano's breath away from communism. So you

1596
01:30:18.199 --> 01:30:21.039
just call it what it is. But responsible George for

1597
01:30:21.159 --> 01:30:25.439
killing over one hundred million people. Oh so that sounds great,

1598
01:30:25.520 --> 01:30:28.199
Let's do that, huh.

1599
01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:31.119
And you look at all of that and you recognize, okay,

1600
01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:34.720
So where does socialism come from. What's what's its body

1601
01:30:34.760 --> 01:30:38.199
of philosophy drawn from? Well, it's drawn basically from marx

1602
01:30:38.920 --> 01:30:42.520
So it's essentially Marxism. And what are the key tenets

1603
01:30:42.520 --> 01:30:46.520
of Marxism, all the things that our forefathers came here

1604
01:30:46.560 --> 01:30:49.239
to get away from the idea that there's no God,

1605
01:30:49.279 --> 01:30:51.319
that the Bible is not true, that there is no

1606
01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:56.359
absolute moral truth. You know that it's the elites who

1607
01:30:56.439 --> 01:30:59.439
know what's best for you, and so we should have

1608
01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:01.960
no power. They should have it all because they'll make

1609
01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:05.119
better decisions for us. You know, all of that proven

1610
01:31:05.159 --> 01:31:08.720
to be false, and yet they still tinker with it

1611
01:31:08.880 --> 01:31:12.760
when they get here. It's remarkable. Thankfully they didn't take

1612
01:31:12.800 --> 01:31:15.079
as long as a lot of other people in America

1613
01:31:15.119 --> 01:31:18.640
today seem to be taking to figure this out. But yeah,

1614
01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:21.239
I mean, we've got to open our eyes and recognize

1615
01:31:21.880 --> 01:31:25.359
there is a God. He is truth. He gave us

1616
01:31:25.439 --> 01:31:28.119
truth in his word. He wants the best for you,

1617
01:31:28.199 --> 01:31:32.079
and that's why he talks about how all of these

1618
01:31:32.079 --> 01:31:36.439
things need to work, including his chosen people. In the survey,

1619
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:40.920
we looked at perceptions about, and beliefs about, and interest

1620
01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:46.000
in Israel, and we're finding that church going Americans, born

1621
01:31:46.039 --> 01:31:51.239
again Christians in America feel no responsibility whatsoever. Most of them,

1622
01:31:51.279 --> 01:31:54.159
not all of them, but most of them would say

1623
01:31:54.199 --> 01:31:57.720
they have no responsibility Israel. We are the new Israel.

1624
01:31:58.159 --> 01:32:01.439
We are the spiritual Church, which they are not. You

1625
01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:05.760
know they gave that what but you know it's like

1626
01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:11.239
what scriptures are you reading? So exactly really need a

1627
01:32:11.279 --> 01:32:15.319
rejiggering of the whole puzzle here so that we put

1628
01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:17.600
it together the way that God wants it put together.

1629
01:32:18.079 --> 01:32:20.840
Well, until we reconnect with God himself. See, this is

1630
01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:23.319
the deal beginning. Wisdom starts with God. You have no

1631
01:32:23.359 --> 01:32:26.239
relationship with God, you just kind of render yourself stupid, right,

1632
01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:29.199
I mean history has demonstrated that time and time again.

1633
01:32:29.319 --> 01:32:33.119
All right, as sure as if you defy gravity, you're

1634
01:32:33.119 --> 01:32:36.319
going to hit the ground. You know, it's the same thing.

1635
01:32:36.920 --> 01:32:39.920
It's just built into the cake. God is the source

1636
01:32:39.960 --> 01:32:42.520
of all wisdom. You think you know better than God,

1637
01:32:42.600 --> 01:32:44.239
will then listen to him. Chuckle.

1638
01:32:45.800 --> 01:32:48.680
And keep in mind too that when we look at this,

1639
01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:52.600
so many people in our churches have thought that because

1640
01:32:52.720 --> 01:32:56.319
we're told we can have a relationship with God, that

1641
01:32:56.680 --> 01:32:59.680
it becomes a good buddy relationship. Yeah, God's my good buddy.

1642
01:33:00.199 --> 01:33:05.359
Stands No, he understands, but He's not just going to

1643
01:33:05.439 --> 01:33:08.000
let you go anywhere and do anything and think anything,

1644
01:33:08.079 --> 01:33:11.920
believe anything, which is what the church is becoming we're

1645
01:33:11.960 --> 01:33:16.680
now moving toward that phase where it's all about emotions. Oh,

1646
01:33:16.720 --> 01:33:19.840
I love God, I feel God, you know, but I

1647
01:33:19.880 --> 01:33:22.439
also feel like having an affair with that woman because man,

1648
01:33:22.479 --> 01:33:25.439
is she beautiful. But God made that beauty. He'll understand,

1649
01:33:25.640 --> 01:33:28.640
you know, He'll cut me a break here. No, that's

1650
01:33:28.680 --> 01:33:31.399
not the way it works. He gave us very specific

1651
01:33:31.479 --> 01:33:35.520
guidelines by which to live, which is why the Bible alone,

1652
01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:40.600
among all the books in history, has persisted accurately over

1653
01:33:40.640 --> 01:33:43.960
the course of thousands of years, a couple thousand years.

1654
01:33:44.319 --> 01:33:47.359
No other document like that. Why. Because God wants us

1655
01:33:47.399 --> 01:33:49.359
to have it, He wants us to read it, he

1656
01:33:49.399 --> 01:33:52.319
wants us to live by it, because that's what brings

1657
01:33:52.359 --> 01:33:55.359
him honor and glory, and that's what enables us to

1658
01:33:55.399 --> 01:33:59.199
have that relationship with him. It's not our feelings that

1659
01:33:59.279 --> 01:34:01.439
g I'd like to have. God is my good buddy.

1660
01:34:01.840 --> 01:34:04.000
Well that's not quite how it works.

1661
01:34:04.359 --> 01:34:06.279
Well, let me ask you this, George. Do you know

1662
01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:09.600
of a good buddy who is just and right? I mean,

1663
01:34:09.720 --> 01:34:11.960
it's just real simple. I mean I don't know. I

1664
01:34:11.960 --> 01:34:13.960
mean I've got some good buddies, I get some friends,

1665
01:34:14.359 --> 01:34:17.960
and in the best of themselves, I don't want them

1666
01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:24.000
executing justice. And I don't think they're always right, but God, consistently,

1667
01:34:24.079 --> 01:34:28.680
to your point, is just and right. And by that definition,

1668
01:34:29.640 --> 01:34:32.319
I'm not sure he would be in the buddy category

1669
01:34:32.560 --> 01:34:33.479
just saying yeah.

1670
01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:37.000
And that's the beauty of him, Bill, is that he's

1671
01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:40.800
also forgiving and loving, and so we've got the chance

1672
01:34:40.840 --> 01:34:44.319
to be our knucklehead selves and yet still have that

1673
01:34:45.359 --> 01:34:48.720
relationship with him. It can be intimate, but that doesn't

1674
01:34:48.760 --> 01:34:52.319
mean that it's so intimate that we throw out his rules.

1675
01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:56.920
It's a relationship where at all times he remains in charge,

1676
01:34:57.359 --> 01:35:01.199
and that offends our American sensibility these here. You know,

1677
01:35:01.359 --> 01:35:03.079
we like to think no, no, no, no no. It's

1678
01:35:03.119 --> 01:35:05.520
important for us to be in control because only we

1679
01:35:05.600 --> 01:35:09.840
know what's right for us. Absolutely wrong, right, you know.

1680
01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:12.199
I mean, the only one who always knows what's right

1681
01:35:12.239 --> 01:35:14.880
for us is God. He's spelled it out for us.

1682
01:35:15.000 --> 01:35:18.560
We simply need to accept it and live accordingly exactly.

1683
01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:21.039
I mean, he didn't set this up to be some

1684
01:35:21.199 --> 01:35:24.119
cosmic killjoy. It's so that it would go well with

1685
01:35:24.199 --> 01:35:26.439
us and for us. Stay tuned. We've got to go

1686
01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:28.680
to quick break. We've got more from doctor George after this.

Why do I go to the doctor working on the farm,

1696
01:36:03.279 --> 01:36:05.560
my heart kept skipping a beat. I didn't think much

1697
01:36:05.600 --> 01:36:07.760
of it, but my daughters made me get checked out.

1698
01:36:07.840 --> 01:36:10.960
It turns out I have atrial fibrillation, which increases the

1699
01:36:11.039 --> 01:36:12.640
risk of stroke about five times.

1700
01:36:13.159 --> 01:36:16.720
Symptoms like a regular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness

1701
01:36:16.720 --> 01:36:19.520
of breath, fatigue, or lightheadedness can come and go, but

1702
01:36:19.560 --> 01:36:22.000
if it's a FIB, the risk of stroke remains. If

1703
01:36:22.039 --> 01:36:23.920
you have symptoms, contact a doctor.

1704
01:36:24.359 --> 01:36:26.680

Bill Martinez here and we're talking with doctor George Barna

1766
01:39:41.640 --> 01:39:44.399
his latest study. George is the director of research at

1767
01:39:44.479 --> 01:39:48.319
Arizona Christian University's Cultural Research Center and the author of

1768
01:39:48.520 --> 01:39:52.399
Raising Spiritual Champions. The website, George, I mean that we're

1769
01:39:52.399 --> 01:39:55.640
talking about here. I mean all these surveys and research

1770
01:39:55.720 --> 01:39:59.199
that you've been doing. The website they can go to

1771
01:39:59.199 --> 01:40:02.239
to study up themselves, because, as we often say, you

1772
01:40:02.279 --> 01:40:04.479
need to own your own knowledge. I mean, we're reporting

1773
01:40:04.520 --> 01:40:08.000
to you. It's up to you to discover for yourself

1774
01:40:08.319 --> 01:40:10.600
and just not take our word for it.

1775
01:40:10.720 --> 01:40:15.800
Right absolutely, So they could go to Cultural Research Center

1776
01:40:15.880 --> 01:40:19.319
dot com, or they could go to my website Georgebarna

1777
01:40:19.399 --> 01:40:22.359

1778

the stuff is free to download it, share it, study it.

1779
01:40:25.800 --> 01:40:29.760
I mean, you know, it's important to think about these matters.

1780
01:40:30.119 --> 01:40:33.119
If you don't think American Christians are getting it right,

1781
01:40:33.199 --> 01:40:36.279
good show them the way. That's what a disciple does

1782
01:40:36.399 --> 01:40:40.439
is we imitate Jesus and we serve as a model

1783
01:40:40.640 --> 01:40:44.039
for other people to see Christ through us, through how

1784
01:40:44.079 --> 01:40:47.960
we believe, how we behave, and so we teach others

1785
01:40:48.079 --> 01:40:50.880
through that modeling. And it's important that we do that.

1786
01:40:50.960 --> 01:40:53.479
We've got too few people doing it. So I hope

1787
01:40:53.479 --> 01:40:55.840
that everybody that's listening right now is going to say, Okay,

1788
01:40:56.279 --> 01:40:59.680
that's going to be my challenge for this Thanksgiving. Everybody

1789
01:40:59.720 --> 01:41:01.560
that I encounter, I want them to be able to

1790
01:41:01.640 --> 01:41:04.600
look at me and to see Jesus through the choices

1791
01:41:04.640 --> 01:41:07.279
that I'm making, through the words coming out of my mouth,

1792
01:41:07.279 --> 01:41:12.000
the relationships I'm building, the lifestyle that I'm manifesting that

1793
01:41:12.079 --> 01:41:14.840
needs to reflect the Kingdom of God exactly.

1794
01:41:15.119 --> 01:41:19.159
Well, the opportunity here again, it starts with you. Okay,

1795
01:41:19.520 --> 01:41:22.000
before you can evangelize, you've got to be filled up

1796
01:41:22.439 --> 01:41:25.920
with all the right things that come from God. Otherwise

1797
01:41:26.199 --> 01:41:28.359
you're going to get your hat handed to you, and

1798
01:41:28.399 --> 01:41:30.640
then you're going to get discouraged and you're going to say, well,

1799
01:41:30.760 --> 01:41:33.840
maybe I shouldn't really believe in this. No, don't be

1800
01:41:34.000 --> 01:41:36.960
that seed that falls on rocky ground. You want to

1801
01:41:37.000 --> 01:41:40.520
be that fertilized soil that here's the word of God

1802
01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:44.840
and produces you know, thirty sixty one hundredfold right.

1803
01:41:45.960 --> 01:41:48.439
Yeah, And you know, Bill, I mean personally, I've always

1804
01:41:48.439 --> 01:41:51.840
been an activist. In college, I was an activist. I

1805
01:41:51.920 --> 01:41:54.399
came out of college. I was involved in politics, running

1806
01:41:54.439 --> 01:41:59.960
political campaigns, you know, serving writing policy papers, all kinds

1807
01:41:59.920 --> 01:42:03.960
of stuff meant to change the culture. And for years

1808
01:42:04.000 --> 01:42:06.960
I was so discouraged because I kept waiting for the

1809
01:42:07.000 --> 01:42:10.760
revolution that I knew we needed. And as I grew

1810
01:42:10.840 --> 01:42:13.600
up and matured and accepted Christ and got into the faith,

1811
01:42:13.880 --> 01:42:16.680
I realized, yeah, it's ultimately a spiritual revolution, not a

1812
01:42:16.680 --> 01:42:20.359
political revolution. But I was still so disappointed because the

1813
01:42:20.399 --> 01:42:24.119
revolution wasn't happening. People weren't flocking to Christ and living

1814
01:42:24.199 --> 01:42:27.560
his life. And finally, one day, you know, we got

1815
01:42:27.560 --> 01:42:29.840
out Maxwell's silver hammer and he banged me on the

1816
01:42:29.880 --> 01:42:34.199
head and said, ding ding, You know what, that revolution

1817
01:42:34.399 --> 01:42:36.680
is one life at a time. Don't wait for the

1818
01:42:36.720 --> 01:42:40.760
big silver bullet that somebody in Washington or Rome or

1819
01:42:41.199 --> 01:42:45.399
wherever you know, Wheaton or Colorado Springs is going to

1820
01:42:45.479 --> 01:42:48.159
fire and things are going to fall into line. It's

1821
01:42:48.239 --> 01:42:50.600
one life at a time. Look at my son, I

1822
01:42:50.760 --> 01:42:52.760
sent him to Earth. It was one life at a time.

1823
01:42:52.800 --> 01:42:57.520
He took thirteen yahoos and invested three years, three years

1824
01:42:58.039 --> 01:43:05.640
in these uneducated by worldly standards, unworthy individuals, until they

1825
01:43:05.840 --> 01:43:08.840
got it. And George, you need to do the same thing.

1826
01:43:09.159 --> 01:43:11.920
And I'm telling you Bill that that was such a

1827
01:43:12.039 --> 01:43:15.600
turning point for me to recognize. Okay, a revolution is

1828
01:43:15.680 --> 01:43:19.199
one one person at a time. And so that's what

1829
01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:21.640
each of us has to be thinking, is who's on

1830
01:43:21.680 --> 01:43:25.600
my list of potential revolutionaries? And one in a time,

1831
01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:28.159
I got to be discipling them. I got to show them,

1832
01:43:28.479 --> 01:43:29.920
I got to live with them, I got to hold

1833
01:43:29.920 --> 01:43:32.279
them accountable. I got to model it for them. We

1834
01:43:32.359 --> 01:43:34.960
got to talk about these things. I've got to invest

1835
01:43:35.079 --> 01:43:37.920
time in them. Why because that's how Jesus did it.

1836
01:43:38.000 --> 01:43:40.760
That's how it exactly, exactly and at the core of

1837
01:43:40.800 --> 01:43:44.680
all this, George, like you said, you experience the freedom

1838
01:43:44.720 --> 01:43:47.119
of God. I mean, how liberating you know, to get

1839
01:43:47.159 --> 01:43:49.199
to that point going, Oh, I get it. You don't

1840
01:43:49.239 --> 01:43:52.479
want me to carry the whole world, right, you know,

1841
01:43:52.720 --> 01:43:54.880
just you know, like they tell you when you get

1842
01:43:54.880 --> 01:43:57.359
on the airplane, you know, these masks come down, put

1843
01:43:57.359 --> 01:44:00.479
the mask on yourself first before you go in, you know,

1844
01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:02.840
up the aisles and trying to help somebody else, tripping

1845
01:44:02.840 --> 01:44:05.479
over everybody else's mask. Take care of yourself first, and

1846
01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:07.960
then you can be of some sort of value here,

1847
01:44:08.640 --> 01:44:13.520
you know. I like what you know talking about representing

1848
01:44:13.560 --> 01:44:16.199
the gospel, Georgia. I like what Saint Francis of ASSISI

1849
01:44:16.279 --> 01:44:19.760
had to say, says, always preach the gospel and occasionally

1850
01:44:19.960 --> 01:44:21.239
use words, right.

1851
01:44:21.199 --> 01:44:23.760
Yeah, yeah, I love that. You'd have to. I know,

1852
01:44:23.880 --> 01:44:26.479
it's great. When I went there to a CECI in Italy,

1853
01:44:27.039 --> 01:44:30.319
it was just such a blowaway to read so many

1854
01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:32.840
of the things that he said. You know, because I

1855
01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:34.760
was familiar with him, I was attracted. That's why we

1856
01:44:34.800 --> 01:44:37.319
went to the place. But when you get there and

1857
01:44:37.880 --> 01:44:42.039
you feel that environment that he was in where he

1858
01:44:42.159 --> 01:44:44.680
spent a lot of time outside, you know, in the

1859
01:44:44.720 --> 01:44:49.800
garden with the birds, right God to speak to him. Yeah, yeah,

1860
01:44:49.880 --> 01:44:53.439
you know what, that's what's missing for me personally. I'm

1861
01:44:53.439 --> 01:44:57.199
so busy trying to do stuff for God that I forget. Yeah,

1862
01:44:57.279 --> 01:45:00.640
God doesn't really need me to do stuff. Just listen

1863
01:45:00.680 --> 01:45:02.680
to what he has to say and see where he

1864
01:45:02.720 --> 01:45:05.159
wants to send me, because I know he's got a

1865
01:45:05.199 --> 01:45:06.359
better plan than I've got.

1866
01:45:07.039 --> 01:45:11.199
Yeah, and as Jesus said, don't worry when you're asked

1867
01:45:12.199 --> 01:45:15.640
you know about God, I'll give you the words, right,

1868
01:45:15.960 --> 01:45:19.279
even when you're being persecuted. And again that's that trust.

1869
01:45:19.319 --> 01:45:23.159
But unless you really let go and allow that to happen,

1870
01:45:23.520 --> 01:45:27.279
you'll never experience it. Because meanwhile, I mean, what Jesus

1871
01:45:27.279 --> 01:45:30.239
did for us is in a sense, you know, we're

1872
01:45:30.279 --> 01:45:33.960
part of this new covenant. You know, our own our

1873
01:45:34.000 --> 01:45:38.279
own bodies are the tabernacle of Christ. I mean when

1874
01:45:38.319 --> 01:45:41.239
you think about it, I mean we're carrying Christ in

1875
01:45:41.359 --> 01:45:45.159
us if we allow, if we allow God to you know,

1876
01:45:45.560 --> 01:45:48.600
to be there in us, and and we get out

1877
01:45:48.600 --> 01:45:49.680
of God's way right.

1878
01:45:50.560 --> 01:45:54.279
Yeah, and and and part of that is taken the

1879
01:45:54.399 --> 01:45:57.800
time to know what we're about. You got to read,

1880
01:45:57.920 --> 01:46:00.720
you gotta I'm sorry, let me go back. One of

1881
01:46:00.760 --> 01:46:03.600
my concerns is that in America we've got this thing

1882
01:46:03.640 --> 01:46:07.920
about read the scriptures, and maybe because it's our work

1883
01:46:07.960 --> 01:46:10.920
at a university, but I think maybe we need to

1884
01:46:11.000 --> 01:46:13.800
twist that understanding a little bit and say, ah, don't

1885
01:46:13.840 --> 01:46:18.239
just read it. You can read your newspaper, study the scriptures,

1886
01:46:18.720 --> 01:46:21.840
you know, spend time reflecting on it. This isn't just

1887
01:46:21.920 --> 01:46:24.359
something to check off the to do list. It's like,

1888
01:46:24.600 --> 01:46:28.079
dive into it and connect the points. That's one of

1889
01:46:28.159 --> 01:46:30.039
the things that I discovered when we did all of

1890
01:46:30.039 --> 01:46:32.119
our worldview and we continue to do a lot of

1891
01:46:32.119 --> 01:46:35.720
worldview research. But one of the reasons why people in

1892
01:46:35.760 --> 01:46:39.359
our churches don't have a biblical worldview is that when

1893
01:46:39.399 --> 01:46:43.399
we go to church, we hear some good biblical sermons

1894
01:46:43.399 --> 01:46:46.439
sometimes and we sit there and we take notes. Okay,

1895
01:46:46.439 --> 01:46:49.039
I got the main points, but what we're not doing,

1896
01:46:49.079 --> 01:46:53.399
we found is connecting the dots, helping people to see

1897
01:46:53.439 --> 01:46:56.359
how all these things fit together. So when I look

1898
01:46:56.359 --> 01:46:58.520
at all the research we do, like this current study

1899
01:46:58.520 --> 01:47:01.439
and this whole issue about Israel. It's really troubling me.

1900
01:47:02.159 --> 01:47:08.760
That's so many of our fellow church goers, maybe fellow Christians,

1901
01:47:09.520 --> 01:47:14.840
are not understanding how important God's chosen people are to

1902
01:47:14.880 --> 01:47:17.880
his heart. And so in the survey, what we found

1903
01:47:17.960 --> 01:47:23.159
is only six regular church goers said yeah, I think

1904
01:47:23.199 --> 01:47:26.560
it's it's important for us to consistently pray for Israel,

1905
01:47:26.720 --> 01:47:31.600
right percent. Less than that less than half said well,

1906
01:47:31.680 --> 01:47:33.680
I think it's important for me to talk to other

1907
01:47:33.760 --> 01:47:37.359
people about Israel, about who they are, about their history,

1908
01:47:37.359 --> 01:47:40.399
about what they're going through, about their importance in the

1909
01:47:40.439 --> 01:47:44.800
big scriptural picture. Why don't we do that? Because we

1910
01:47:44.800 --> 01:47:47.800
don't know the big scriptural picture, and so we've got

1911
01:47:47.800 --> 01:47:50.720
to get back to studying the scriptures. Where does Israel

1912
01:47:50.800 --> 01:47:52.640
come up? Why does it matter to God? Why did

1913
01:47:52.680 --> 01:47:56.039
he choose them? What's the difference? You know? Do we know,

1914
01:47:56.279 --> 01:47:59.279
say Genesis twelve, you know where God talks about all

1915
01:47:59.359 --> 01:48:02.520
blessed those who bless Israel. I want it on that

1916
01:48:02.960 --> 01:48:05.520
you know exactly what do you do to bless Israel? Okay,

1917
01:48:05.560 --> 01:48:07.159
you got to pray for him, you got to talk

1918
01:48:07.239 --> 01:48:10.720
about them. You know. We found that only a third

1919
01:48:11.079 --> 01:48:14.119
of regular churchgoers said yeah, I think it's important to

1920
01:48:14.159 --> 01:48:18.039
invest my resources, my time, my money, other things that

1921
01:48:18.079 --> 01:48:23.479
I have into supporting Israel. Most Christians not willing to

1922
01:48:23.560 --> 01:48:26.159
do that. What are they willing to put their money into?

1923
01:48:26.560 --> 01:48:30.319
New clothing, new cars, new houses, new vacations. All of

1924
01:48:30.319 --> 01:48:33.760
these kinds of things rate higher on the scale than

1925
01:48:33.840 --> 01:48:37.199
supporting God's chosen people. So it comes back to this

1926
01:48:37.279 --> 01:48:40.359
issue of priorities. Do we really know God's word, do

1927
01:48:40.439 --> 01:48:45.800
we prioritize his values or do we prioritize our values.

1928
01:48:46.279 --> 01:48:48.479
So it's one of these things where when you start

1929
01:48:48.520 --> 01:48:51.720
to study the scriptures, hopefully you begin to see the

1930
01:48:51.720 --> 01:48:54.319
world a little bit differently in your priorities shift.

1931
01:48:55.000 --> 01:48:56.640
Well, no doubt you will. And I can tell you

1932
01:48:56.640 --> 01:49:00.720
that was my discovery, George, is that as I began

1933
01:49:00.800 --> 01:49:04.680
to really make a commitment to the word of God,

1934
01:49:05.279 --> 01:49:09.039
and what really grabbed a hold of me was Jesus

1935
01:49:09.159 --> 01:49:11.800
himself saying, Hey, look at I don't live by bread

1936
01:49:11.920 --> 01:49:14.199
of man. I live by every word that comes from

1937
01:49:14.239 --> 01:49:16.319
the mouth of God. And I'm going this is Jesus

1938
01:49:16.399 --> 01:49:20.760
saying this. And then as I continue on that journey

1939
01:49:21.039 --> 01:49:23.600
and the Spirit is leading me and opening up my

1940
01:49:23.800 --> 01:49:26.760
mind and awareness of what's going on. It was like,

1941
01:49:27.239 --> 01:49:29.319
kind of what you're saying here right now, and that

1942
01:49:29.520 --> 01:49:33.159
is that you have to be committed to studying, to

1943
01:49:33.720 --> 01:49:37.560
you know, chewing meditating on the word of God. And

1944
01:49:37.600 --> 01:49:41.000
we do that because it blesses us in so many ways.

1945
01:49:41.000 --> 01:49:43.520
But it also what it does it serves as a

1946
01:49:43.560 --> 01:49:47.239
guard rail to tell us when things come up that

1947
01:49:47.279 --> 01:49:51.159
are inconsistent, that do not validate scripture, that are in

1948
01:49:51.239 --> 01:49:55.000
conflict with scripture. The more you're aware of what scripture says,

1949
01:49:55.039 --> 01:49:57.920
that stuff is glaring screaming at you, right. I mean,

1950
01:49:57.960 --> 01:49:59.680
like some of the things we're touching on right now,

1951
01:49:59.720 --> 01:50:02.640
Like so socialism, it's like, well, that is like a

1952
01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:06.880
screaming siren. But if you're very casual about scripture, oh yeah,

1953
01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:08.039
that kind of feels okay.

1954
01:50:09.600 --> 01:50:12.520
And related to that, you know, I've been sitting here

1955
01:50:12.600 --> 01:50:15.279
looking at all of this data and saying, so, why

1956
01:50:15.359 --> 01:50:19.000
don't people read the scriptures? And you know, part of

1957
01:50:19.039 --> 01:50:20.960
it is that they don't think it's true, they don't

1958
01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:24.359
think it's reliable, they don't think it's relevant, they don't

1959
01:50:24.439 --> 01:50:29.239
understand that it's meant by God to be our guide

1960
01:50:29.520 --> 01:50:32.920
for making moral choices. It's all in there if we'll

1961
01:50:32.920 --> 01:50:35.439
simply take the time to read it and study it

1962
01:50:35.960 --> 01:50:39.239
and embrace it. And so I look at this this

1963
01:50:39.720 --> 01:50:42.600
research report that I put together, and you know it

1964
01:50:42.680 --> 01:50:47.039
talks about how people are confused about abortion. Why because

1965
01:50:47.079 --> 01:50:49.960
we have a majority who say the Bible is neither

1966
01:50:50.039 --> 01:50:54.359
clear nor decisive in what it teaches about abortion. They

1967
01:50:54.479 --> 01:50:57.159
a majority say it's not clear and decisive what it

1968
01:50:57.239 --> 01:51:01.239
says about homosexuality, A majority of telling us it's not

1969
01:51:01.520 --> 01:51:04.640
clear and decisive. That's the phrase that we looked at

1970
01:51:05.199 --> 01:51:09.199
in terms of teaching us about transgenderism. It's not clear

1971
01:51:09.239 --> 01:51:13.359
and decisive when it looks at issues like ethan asia WHOA.

1972
01:51:13.600 --> 01:51:18.800
It's only clear, unclear, and indecisive if you don't read

1973
01:51:18.840 --> 01:51:21.920
it and if you don't trust it. So you know,

1974
01:51:22.000 --> 01:51:24.319
when you say to God, God, I'm going to take

1975
01:51:24.319 --> 01:51:27.159
a chance, I'm going to step out here on the plank.

1976
01:51:27.199 --> 01:51:28.680
I'm going to go to the edge of the plank,

1977
01:51:28.960 --> 01:51:32.039
and I'm going to say, God, I'm trusting you. Now.

1978
01:51:32.199 --> 01:51:35.720
Now fill my mind with your truth. Give him that shot.

1979
01:51:35.880 --> 01:51:38.079
Because I don't know about your journey, but that that's

1980
01:51:38.119 --> 01:51:40.840
literally what I did. When I was a gradual. I

1981
01:51:40.880 --> 01:51:43.199
was trying to figure out, is this Jesus guy for real?

1982
01:51:43.960 --> 01:51:46.840
And so I told the pastor who was telling oh, yeah,

1983
01:51:47.079 --> 01:51:49.039
is going to trust him. It's like, okay, I'm giving

1984
01:51:49.079 --> 01:51:51.119
him a month. You think he can pull that off?

1985
01:51:51.600 --> 01:51:54.600
And the pastor, you know, swallowed hard, but you know, so, yeah, okay.

1986
01:51:55.199 --> 01:51:58.960
And so within a couple of weeks after saying to God, God,

1987
01:51:59.079 --> 01:52:00.119
you just take me.

1988
01:52:00.199 --> 01:52:00.560
Take me.

1989
01:52:00.960 --> 01:52:04.560
If you're there, if you're real, if this stuff that's

1990
01:52:04.600 --> 01:52:07.359
in this book that this church just gave me, if

1991
01:52:07.359 --> 01:52:10.600
this is real stuff, make it come alive in my mind,

1992
01:52:10.720 --> 01:52:13.520
my heart, and my life. And within two weeks my

1993
01:52:13.600 --> 01:52:16.760
wife and I were like, we were giddy. It's like,

1994
01:52:16.840 --> 01:52:18.960
oh my gosh, I can't believe this.

1995
01:52:18.800 --> 01:52:21.359
Is all real. Why didn't we know this earlier.

1996
01:52:21.399 --> 01:52:23.960
We're in our mid twenties. Look how much time we wasted,

1997
01:52:24.479 --> 01:52:26.880
you know exactly. But that's what America is doing. We're

1998
01:52:26.920 --> 01:52:32.079
wasting our time pursuing stuff that's meaningless when we've got

1999
01:52:32.760 --> 01:52:37.560
life being handed to us by the one who created it. Amen.

2000
01:52:38.359 --> 01:52:41.279
He's the director of research at Arizona Christian University's Cultural

2001
01:52:41.279 --> 01:52:45.000
Research Center, the author of Raising Spiritual Champions. Doctor George

2002
01:52:45.000 --> 01:52:47.279
as we wrap things up remind everybody where they can

2003
01:52:47.319 --> 01:52:50.600
go to study for themselves and to show themselves approved,

2004
01:52:51.239 --> 01:52:54.119
not just for the approval process, but for their own

2005
01:52:54.239 --> 01:52:55.119
joy and happiness.

2006
01:52:55.199 --> 01:52:57.840
Right. You know what, that was a trick question. You

2007
01:52:57.840 --> 01:52:59.439
were thinking I was going to get my website, But

2008
01:52:59.439 --> 01:53:01.399
I'm going to say. The answer is the Bible.

2009
01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:04.560
Right still the number one selling book on the planet.

2010
01:53:04.680 --> 01:53:06.800
Right. Oh, man, I wish i'd written that, but it

2011
01:53:06.800 --> 01:53:09.199
wouldn't have been number one if I did, wouldn't have

2012
01:53:09.199 --> 01:53:12.359
had his power, his truth. But yeah, yeah, I mean,

2013
01:53:12.439 --> 01:53:15.319
read the Bible. If you want to make a new

2014
01:53:15.399 --> 01:53:19.079
year's resolution early, make it that you are going to

2015
01:53:19.119 --> 01:53:21.600
not just read the Bible. You are going to study

2016
01:53:21.640 --> 01:53:23.960
the Bible for the coming year. And it doesn't matter

2017
01:53:24.000 --> 01:53:25.880
if you get from the beginning to the very end

2018
01:53:25.960 --> 01:53:29.399
within three hundred and sixty five days. Just dive into

2019
01:53:29.439 --> 01:53:33.680
his words, stay there, stay underwater for a year, okay,

2020
01:53:33.720 --> 01:53:35.279
and you'll come up breathing better.

2021
01:53:35.920 --> 01:53:38.319
Exactly, And it's okay. You can ask that same question

2022
01:53:38.399 --> 01:53:41.920
of God. You know that God would be real to you, right.

2023
01:53:42.359 --> 01:53:45.520
Absolutely, He's waiting for us to ask it, And the

2024
01:53:45.560 --> 01:53:48.800
problem is that not enough are asking it. We think, Okay,

2025
01:53:48.840 --> 01:53:51.279
I'm pretty smart you know, I got multiple degrees. I'll

2026
01:53:51.279 --> 01:53:56.479
figure this out. Satan's block and the connection there. I

2027
01:53:56.600 --> 01:53:59.920
mean God to overwhelm that and say, okay, George focus.

2028
01:54:00.079 --> 01:54:02.960
Yes, amen, doctor George Barnet, thank you, my friend amb
