00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:01.600
Are you ready?

2
00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:03.279
Yeah, Okay, let's do it.

3
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:07.839
Ill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture,

4
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.160
our values, our politics, and our future.

5
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.880
And now Bill Martinez.

6
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.839
Hey, right now. Six minutes after the top of the

7
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.600
are Bill Martinez here, we got Richard Lyons back with us,

8
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.719
the author of But by the Chance of War. Richard

9
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:25.160
always good to have you with us. How are you?

10
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:25.640
Oh?

11
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:27.559
Great, great to see you, Bill, Well.

12
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.640
A lot going on, Obviously Trump knows a lot more

13
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.640
than we do, and even the media it's kind of

14
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.640
hysterical with some of the questions that they ask. It's like, oh, Mike,

15
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.600
I know you got a job to do, bless your heart,

16
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.640
but maybe you could think just a little bit with

17
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.920
some of these questions that they're asking him, right, yeah, well.

18
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.799
They seem to be a week behind, you know, yeah,

19
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.640
so very thankfully Trump is Trump and his cabinet are

20
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:56.560
working miracles.

21
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:03.359
If you ask me, well, I Ran is desperate. Clearly,

22
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.439
their leadership is in shambles. The media is hearing from

23
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.200
somebody that they claim is leadership. Obviously it's not lining

24
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.640
up with the leadership that Trump's talking with. And you know,

25
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.519
and Trump is the kind of person, you know, CEO

26
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.280
mindset that knows how to speak with authority and to authority.

27
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.719
So I doubt that he is making the decision he's

28
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.560
making and not having somebody of consequence that he's connecting with.

29
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.239
Do you yes, I think you're exactly right. It's never

30
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.920
in Trump's interest to speak falsely or to give false hope,

31
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.640
because then the media would jump all over him. The

32
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.200
key thing, you know, I'm sure like me, Bill, you've

33
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.319
had a lot of experience in business. Business is all

34
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.159
about credibility, right. You have to believe. You have to

35
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.200
sell a product you believe in. You have to credibly

36
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.280
present the product. You can lie about it, you can't

37
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.719
sham it, you know, you have to be very upfront.

38
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.359
And I think that's his training, and I think that's

39
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.360
what Trump does. I think his whole cabinet reflects that.

40
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.080
They do not go out and obfuscate, like you know,

41
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.599
the Obama administration was great at that by an administration

42
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.400
great at that. So I'm very hopeful.

43
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.159
About this well.

44
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:24.759
And I like the way he's playing it out in

45
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.599
the way his team and raising Caine and you know,

46
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.639
the War Department and that, I mean, this is like,

47
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.520
you know, this is the America we always thought could be.

48
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:40.039
You've got brilliant people, you've got the military industrial complex,

49
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.919
you know, on a mission and being very precise and

50
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.840
very strategic, not being knee jerk reacting, but observing. Yes,

51
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:55.719
they've got pinpoint munitions going in with incredible accuracy and effectiveness.

52
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.879
And then they watch the response the media, and this

53
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.560
is where people need to be discerning. The media that

54
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.199
do not know about military, they don't know about war,

55
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:10.280
and their opining is so sophomoric, it's like, don't even

56
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.159
listen to them, because they really don't have a clue.

57
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.120
Trump is playing this out in a way that is

58
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.439
leveraging all all the assets that we have there in

59
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.599
the theater, right, And then you watch Iran and you

60
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.719
watch their response, and here they are, they're like pretty

61
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.360
much a paper tiger. I mean, they're firing bombs all

62
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.680
over the place, trying to gauge the entire Middle East.

63
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.120
And you know people that were you know, maybe soft

64
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.879
allies kind of, I mean they're going, wait a minute, now,

65
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.879
you're ticking us off because you're hitting our infrastructure, you're

66
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.039
killing our people, and you know we're going to side

67
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.080
with Israel. Well, how do you like those those apples, right.

68
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.719
Yeah, and it you know, and it's they're misfiring on

69
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:58.000
all fronts. When Irana is attacking surrounding neighbors like the

70
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.680
UAE right or Oman. When they're doing that, can you

71
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.919
imagine what they would do with a nuclear weapon if they.

72
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.199
Had exactly Yes.

73
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.960
Also, then they fired off a couple of missiles showing

74
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.919
they have a twenty five hundred mile range trying to

75
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:19.560
go after Alberto Garcia, the island in the Indian Ocean,

76
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.240
in the center of the Indian Ocean.

77
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.680
Well, that's proving they can hit London. Yes, So the

78
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.839
British are necessarily a little alarmed, as.

79
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.399
They should be, along with the other other NATO nations,

80
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.000
European nations. They've kind of been sitting there, oh you know,

81
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.319
and Macron, Oh maybe I'm just going to sit this

82
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:37.759
one out.

83
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.959
Oh really No, here's the thing, Bill, and it goes

84
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.720
to the book. But by the chance of war, it

85
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.480
really does. And that is unless we form a collective

86
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.040
group of free nations, nations based on the rights of humanity, right,

87
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.560
unless we form a collection of states economically militarily that

88
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.560
goes after states like Iran, who's who are bent on

89
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.879
world domination and believe they can kill anyone on their way.

90
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.319
You can't have people on the sidelines saying, you know, well,

91
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.040
maybe we'll wait for the next tyrant to come along

92
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.519
who has a nuclear missile.

93
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.680
Right, all right, right, because that is too late.

94
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.800
It's too late, you know.

95
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.720
And to your point here, I mean, here, what did

96
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.879
Trump do? I mean, let's forget about the UN They're worthless.

97
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.360
So he sets up his board of peace, to your point,

98
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.360
and maybe he changes it later on becoming the board

99
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:38.120
of war, possibly, you know, to say, yeah, can you

100
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.079
hear me, Now, we're serious about this. Yes, we want

101
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.240
to think about peace, but maybe it's the board of

102
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.480
peace and war, you know, why not.

103
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.839
And he's doing I'm going to be writing an article

104
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.439
about this bill. He's doing what he is showing the

105
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:55.439
world the tyrants of the world. Tyranny is built on

106
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.000
oppressing and harvesting the wealth of your own people, right,

107
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.199
It's about imprisoning them and taking everything you can from

108
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:07.120
them for yourself. So you see that in China and Cuba,

109
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:11.120
it was in Venezuela. This is tyranny, and tyranny when

110
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.639
it extends out of its own nation. That's what Iran

111
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.079
was proclaiming. And when they're lobbing missiles all over, they're

112
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.600
attempting to attack neighbors. Let me just get rid of

113
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:30.959
this bill. They're attacking in a predatory manner, trying to

114
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.319
enrich themselves on other nations' wealth. That's what that is,

115
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.040
and it's been throughout the history of humanity.

116
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.399
That is how humanity is operated.

117
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:45.000
That was the tyranny of kings and pharaohs and of

118
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.319
conquerors trying to take wealth from neighbors.

119
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:51.279
And this is what we're dealing with.

120
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.480
We're dealing with it in China with the Belt Road initiatives,

121
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.839
and we're dealing with it with aggressive Islam. As you know,

122
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.240
we can take over any other country we ever, right,

123
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.160
because we're a superior religion, right.

124
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.600
Exactly, Yeah, God God, Yeah, God is with us. We're

125
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:12.839
on a mission from God. Right And uh but you know,

126
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.680
and you're exactly you're exactly right on this whole deal, Richard,

127
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.120
because uh, you know, and this is why America stuck out,

128
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.120
and also why these other nations. Wait a minute, who

129
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.720
are these guys? You know, a bunch of farmers, these

130
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.399
colonists from England come over here all of a sudden

131
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.160
they're claiming, you know, some sort of uh, you know,

132
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.079
divine mission that they're on exactly uh, you know, and

133
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.040
this really uh, this really upset you know, the the

134
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.079
League of Nations, the grander League of Nations, as you say,

135
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.600
all these tyrants that have had it their way and go,

136
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.720
wait a minute, they can't do that. Otherwise our people

137
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.120
are going to you know, start thinking about peace and

138
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.279
you know, self reliance and self governance.

139
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:56.920
Right, yes, exactly right.

140
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:02.160
The miracle that occurred in Philadelphia in seventeen eighty nine

141
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.319
was more than just constitution. Yeah, it's about the rights

142
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.480
of humanity and the rights of individuals to their own faith,

143
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:14.519
to their own property right and these are that's it's

144
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.439
an incredible revolution that occurred two hundred and fifty years ago.

145
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.720
And so now it's coming to be between states and

146
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:26.680
between tyrants and persons, you know, nations built on the Constitution.

147
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.639
And meanwhile, you know, the battle continues. As Ronald Reagan said,

148
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.039
we're but one generation away, and here we are, I mean,

149
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:40.519
we're basically engaged in another revolution, a soft revolution, that's clear.

150
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.519
That's happening here in our own country between the anti

151
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.039
American segment of the Democratic Party. And you might even

152
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:48.919
say there's some on the right, on the far right

153
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.840
as well, on that lunatic fringe.

154
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:55.600
Right, Oh, I don't equate to that. I there.

155
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.879
The International Socialist Movement is exactly like Islam or yes,

156
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:06.440
and exactly like China. China deems themselves to be the

157
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.480
overlords of everything under heaven.

158
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.159
I'll tell what we got to go to quick break.

159
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:11.600
Let's pick it up on the other side. I'm sorry

160
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:12.840
more for Richard Lyones after this.

161
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.639
Stay with us, that palette of pavers collecting dust, the

162
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:21.360
beginnings of a garden, those stray fence posts. Are you

163
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.639
haunted by half finished projects on your land? John Deere

164
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.480
is here to say not anymore. Our compact tractors allow

165
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:30.919
you to swap implements easily, and they're backed by the

166
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.639
nation's largest dealer network. You always had the right idea,

167

Hey, we're back with you. Bill Martinez here along with

246
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.799
Richard Lins's the author of the nianna A Democracy, also

247
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.960
his brand new book But by the Chance of War, Richard,

248
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.440
go ahead, and uh, you know you were not necessarily

249
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.720
an agreement with what am I saying, but that you

250
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.720
have these antithical forces that I see them as being

251
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.559
anti American.

252
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:05.399
Yeah.

253
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.120
Well, you have universalist ideologies, right, You have the Chinese

254
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.960
who think consider themselves the overlords of everything under heaven.

255
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.759
What does that mean the whole earth?

256
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.879
Yes, you have a form of Islam based on the

257
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:24.039
Muslim brotherhood, which if you are not in the realm

258
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.960
of Islam, if you are outside Islam, you are in

259
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.120
the realm of war. So Islam is at war with

260
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.799
the whole world until all the world is Islam. International

261
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:41.440
socialism decrees that the whole world needs to be socialists.

262
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.279
And this is where Mundami is coming from, and.

263
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:45.519
This is where oc is.

264
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:47.480
This is where the.

265
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.200
Forces in America that are anti American want to do

266
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:56.799
away with our founding, do away with our constitution, do

267
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.799
away with our heroes, do away with our history, in

268
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.759
order to create a socialist order in our country.

269
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.480
Well, America has to wake up, you know, to your point,

270
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.519
because basically, you know, the other side has just been

271
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.279
kicking everybody's butt and everybody's going, well, you know, hey,

272
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.080
I got a job to do. I'm busy, I got

273
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.759
other things to worry about. But meanwhile, you know, they're

274
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.240
taking up ground, and I mean to the point where

275
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:27.360
they're you know, mulling our children and confusing the heck

276
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.240
out of them regarding their sex. I mean, and the

277
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.759
stuff that's coming around the corner.

278
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.120
Yeah, yeah, And all that all goes back to and

279
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.919
I covered in the DNA of Shadows of the Aprophola. Sorry,

280
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.879
that's volume two of the Democracy series, where in the

281
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:47.960
nineteen sixties, when LBJ created this great society, he also

282
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:51.480
decided that the federal government should fund education and thereby

283
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:52.720
control it.

284
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.039
From that point forward.

285
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.480
Belief in a civics education and belief in our government

286
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:03.039
has founded has been on the downgrade, while on the

287
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.919
upgrade is every other kind of belief, particularly socialism.

288
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.720
You know, it just seems to be a less than

289
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.200
brilliant move that you would allow somebody it probably doesn't

290
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.600
have that high of IQ to want to run the

291
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.559
Department of Education or at least come up with some idea.

292
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:23.320
But the point was, just like you said, it wasn't

293
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.200
about elevating or educating. It was about control and indoctrination.

294
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:28.799
Yes, and it is.

295
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.200
We have to localize education wide though, because then it's

296
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.559
the mothers and fathers of the country, yes, who are

297
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.919
influencing what the education is of their own children. The

298
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.960
government should never be involved in the education, particularly the

299
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.399
federal government should have nothing to do with the education

300
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:54.399
of children. It should be a local matter, governed by parents.

301
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.320
Well, and it's going to be interesting how this plays out,

302
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.480
and it's already starting, you know, to become reality. Just

303
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.440
like everything else red and blue, the blue states are confining.

304
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:08.960
You know, they're following, as you say, the format of China.

305
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.880
The socialists the Marxists, and they're oppressing their people, and

306
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.000
their constituents are just get me a U haul, get

307
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:17.200
me the heck got.

308
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.279
Out of New Yborg.

309
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:19.720
Yeah, I believe this.

310
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.279
And they're buying the governor and the mayor are buying

311
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.599
over you know what taxes to raise and and it's

312
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.400
and it's that is the that is the template when

313
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.880
you are harvesting the wealth of your own people and

314
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.519
oppressing them at the same time, and using the taxes

315
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.880
you are given as a government to oppress the person's

316
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:40.519
you govern.

317
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.359
That goes back to how the British treated the.

318
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:47.559
Colonists exactly exactly, So taxation without representation.

319
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:48.559
Yeah, we're going to.

320
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.000
Use the taxes you you give us to create a

321
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.640
standing army to oppress you.

322
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:56.440
That's that's how tyranny works.

323
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.640
Right, And and also to take care of their own

324
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:05.799
crown and friends and the army, right and and bring

325
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:09.920
in all this you know, ignore all this corruption and

326
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.920
fraud that's been going on. Right, I mean, we're thirty

327
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.799
nine trillion dollars in debt and growing and and the

328
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.519
Democrats just yawn, are you kidding me?

329
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.599
Well, we really need to by the midterms, we need

330
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.559
to make Stacy Abrams and Governor Waltz, you know, poster

331
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:32.079
children for fraud and waste and abuse. And and the

332
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.279
mayor of I can't remember his name. It begins with

333
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.799
an f The mayor of Minneapolis, this guy who pontificates

334
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:39.559
over everybody.

335
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:43.519
Oh, you're talking Frey, mayor of frank He's.

336
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:47.680
Allowing billions of dollars to go out the door of

337
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.039
taxpayers money.

338
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.160
This guy never had a job in his life, whether

339
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.839
than being mayor. He doesn't know what it means to

340
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:53.400
earn money.

341
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.720
But everybody who does, everybody who pays taxes, has to

342
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:01.400
get up and vote and him rid of this garbage.

343
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.000
Well, and the thing is is, like you said, this

344
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.240
is why the midterms are so critical and people need

345
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.200
to wake up because what's happening even you know, these

346
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.559
people in the Blue states, is like, wait a minute.

347
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.200
You know you're Margaret that you're realized, you know, you're

348
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.160
running out of everybody's money here, and you can go

349
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:20.720
back to the federal government and say, hey, like you've

350
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.960
been doing. You know, Mamdannie's kissing up to Trump. He's

351
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.920
trying to you know, hokel. I mean, she she cracked

352
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.519
me up the other day. I couldn't believe it. Oh,

353
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.000
you guys need to come back and participate in these

354
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.359
great socialist ideas that we have.

355
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.599
You know, no what, I love that because not one

356
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.880
person's going to do that, of course, not because their

357
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.200
ideas are so bad. I mean, the best way to

358
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.079
take care of people is to let them take care

359
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:48.640
of themselves, right.

360
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.400
And get out of the way. And socialism is the opposite.

361
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:55.319
They want to They want to take care of everybody

362
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.279
and determine everything you do in your life.

363
00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:57.880
Yeah.

364
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.759
I mean the problem is with our government. There's too

365
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.720
much socialism already in it. That's why we're thirty nine

366
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:08.000
trillion dollars in debt and the political corruption is so extensive. Again,

367
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:11.160
I was talking with Grover Norquist, and I said, Grover,

368
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.400
tell me of the thirty nine trillion dollars in debt

369
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.920
that we are in. How that is not connected to

370
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.759
vote getting He said, probably every dollar I said, I'll get.

371
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.920
Yeah, it's been this has been incremental for one hundred years.

372
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:26.200
Bill.

373
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:31.240
They've purposefully built an administrative state that doles out money

374
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.720
to constituents of the Democrats, and it is how they

375
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.279
keep power, right, Yes.

376
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.759
And so look what they're demonstrating, you know, whether it's

377
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.240
California or New York. I mean the poster children of

378
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.160
states and governors and elected officials that they show us.

379
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.720
I mean, how do you have confidence in that? I mean,

380
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.440
this is why the Save Act is so important for

381
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.720
us to you know, for we the people, to get

382
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:58.519
control of their government. I mean, the red States seem

383
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:02.279
to be moving in the right direction. It's just the

384
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.880
Blue states that you know, we've got to drag them along,

385
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.480
and we've got to you know, we're trying to get

386
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.720
them to the Promised Land, and meanwhile they're trying to

387
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:12.039
you know, stay in hell where they're at. You know,

388
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.759
I don't even realize it.

389
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.680
Is to refederalize the system bill and not bail out

390
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.559
the blue states. They have to become victims of their

391
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.920
own policies, exactly, feel it in their pocketbooks. The problem

392
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.680
is all the smart people, like you say, the getting

393
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.279
out of town.

394
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.480
So what's happening. The margins of socialist victory.

395
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.839
Will be higher, not lower, right, because they're forcing all

396
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.680
the persons with any intelligence out of their own states.

397
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.920
I mean, stay on this trajectory, Richard, What what's the

398
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.880
hope for America?

399
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:47.279
Well, the hope that we have a lot more. Did

400
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:51.079
you see the victory map when Trump won. Yes, did

401
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:52.319
you see all the red out there?

402
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:52.640
Oh?

403
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:55.839
Yeah, and these little dots and islands of blue and

404
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:57.519
on the fringes, right on the coasts.

405
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:02.880
Right with the exception of Illinois, which let's take Illinois.

406
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.519
Illinois, when I was a kid growing up, there was

407
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:10.279
one of the top five states in economics, in finance,

408
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:16.279
they had they were a bastion of capitalism and investment.

409
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.839
They are now fiftieth in the country.

410
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.200
What happened.

411
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.799
What happened has been one party rule for decades, Democrats

412
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:32.920
destroying the state. And now the mayor of Chicago, Brandon

413
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.440
and Johnson I think his name is now he wants

414
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:38.799
to create a bond that the city doesn't have to

415
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:42.839
pay for thirty years. Right, It's like a balloon bond

416
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:44.440
at the end of thirty years. So they take the

417
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.599
money now to bail out all their bad policy and

418
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:49.640
then they don't have to pay for it for thirty years.

419
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:53.640
Which when is the taxpayer going to get that landed

420
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:54.119
on them?

421
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:58.359
Right exactly? And your grandkids are going to say, hey,

422
00:22:58.440 --> 00:22:59.839
thank you very much, Grandpa.

423
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:05.279
Yeah, thanks for the house I owe a lot of.

424
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:09.519
Money, unbelievable, and to get back.

425
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:12.440
To it, we have to refederalize the system so that

426
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.680
they pay for their own errors. And when you juxtapose

427
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.319
red states to blue states, the difference in the two

428
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:23.839
regarding it fiscal policy and whether people feel safe in

429
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.759
their own homes and in their own cities, the difference

430
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.680
in policy will really come through. It'll be very huge contrast.

431
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:32.839
And maybe the lesson we would take from that.

432
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.559
Yeah, and maybe the whole issue of sanctuary cities would

433
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:38.839
take care of itself, because logically it just doesn't float.

434
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:43.680
Right, exactly right, you're sustaining and protecting criminals.

435
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.079
Well, Richard Lyons has been our guest. He's the author.

436
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:50.759
But by the chance of war, great book must read

437
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.720
available at all the usual places, right.

438
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.920
Richard, Yes, it is.

439
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:56.640
Thank you all right, thank you so much for being

440
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.240
with us. Take care, godspeed, Okay, thanks.

441
00:23:59.039 --> 00:23:59.519
You got it.

442
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.279
Everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you name it.

443
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:08.079
You're spending more you are making the same or less money.

444
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:09.440
So what do you do?

445
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:12.119
You rack up credit card debt, that's what you do.

446
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:16.000
It's not your fault, it's the economy. And guess what

447
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:18.680
if you rack up too much credit card debt. Like

448
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.400
some of us, you can't pay your bills. Then the

449
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:25.000
credit card companies, as nice as they are, start hounding

450
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:28.839
you for money. Then you start your downward spiral. A

451
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:31.039

517
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:09.359
We're back with you. Bill Martinez here along with doctor

518
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:14.839
George Barna. Honored to have doctor George here from Arizona

519
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.839
Christian University, and he's, of course, the director of research

520
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.359
at ACU's Cultural Research Center and author of Raising Spiritual Champions. Hey,

521
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:24.559
doctor George, how we done?

522
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:26.680
Well? Billy, good to see it's been a while.

523
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.200
Hey, it has been a minute or so. And in fact,

524
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:31.559
I was thinking, Hey, I need some new stuff here,

525
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.759
but you know you're not bearing all kinds of good

526
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:35.359
news here.

527
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:39.319
Well, Christmas is done, my friend and world.

528
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:42.960
Yeah, okay, yeah, after all, we're in the Lenten season.

529
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:46.279
We might as well start dealing with the harsh truth

530
00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:49.160
of it all. You know, after all, we're refraining and

531
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.880
depriving ourselves and hopefully seeking God as we prepare for

532
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.799
you know, the greatest holiday ever. You know that God

533
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:58.480
has given us right tell you, I think.

534
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:00.599
We need a resurrection of the faith of the Americans,

535
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.440
because the more that we study it, the more that

536
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.319
we find people take things for granted. We're very casual

537
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.640
about our relationship with God, if there is a relationship

538
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.079
with God. And what we're finding is that when we

539
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.160
look at the foundation of all of that which will

540
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:23.039
be our worldview, our philosophy of life, that we didn't

541
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:27.000
lose ground necessarily too much in the last three years

542
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:32.359
a little bit. But maybe that's you know, stabling out

543
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:35.799
a little bit. And hopefully now, as you say, it's

544
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:39.119
that precious season of the year, now's the time let's

545
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:42.319
start growing, Let's get serious, let's show that we mean

546
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:44.799
it and get busy with God.

547
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:47.480
Yeah, even though the numbers are declining, we know that

548
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:50.079
God still works with a remnant right by his grace

549
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.599
and mercy. And maybe that's what we're looking at here, George,

550
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:55.880
is we're may be looking at more of the remnant.

551
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.079
I mean, you and I talked last time about weeks

552
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:01.920
and terrors, no doubt about it. But you know that

553
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:06.559
this is the season that we're in. But the culture.

554
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.680
You look at the culture right now, and that's the thing.

555
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:11.119
You know, people ask me, why are we such chaos? Now?

556
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.799
Why do you think you can't turn your back on God?

557
00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:15.519
I mean, God's real clear. I mean you look back

558
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:17.720
in the Old Testament, says time and again this is

559
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.200
what you get with God, Here's what you get without God.

560
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:22.960
And every time he says what you get without God,

561
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.519
it all paints this picture of this chaotic world that

562
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:28.759
happens time and time again. You think, sooner or later

563
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:30.160
we'd figure this out, right.

564
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:33.200
You would pray that's the case. You know.

565
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.200
One of the things that intrigues me is here we are.

566
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:39.680
America's in a war right now, and we've got tens

567
00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:42.839
and tens of millions of people who are fighting the

568
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:45.559
idea that we're in war. It's like, no, I, for

569
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:47.519
the duration of my life, I never want to be

570
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:50.039
in a war. Hey, here's a newsflash for you. Every

571
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:52.200
day of your life, you're in a war exactly. The

572
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:54.920
problem is, it's to many people it's a secret war.

573
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.480
They don't know what's going on, they don't want to

574
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:00.880
take a side, they're not ready to fight, and so

575
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:04.000
consequently they're losing the war. They're getting ambushed by the

576
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:06.799
evil one. And what we've got to do is wake

577
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:09.799
up understand. Okay, whether you like it or not, there's

578
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:12.119
a spiritual war for your mind, your heart, your soul.

579
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:15.599
It's taking place every moment of every day, and you've

580
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:15.960
got to.

581
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:16.680
Choose a side.

582
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:20.480
God uses a remnant, as you say, all throughout the scriptures,

583
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:23.359
what you find is that when God transforms the culture,

584
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:26.039
he does it with a small group of people. He

585
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.000
doesn't need a majority, he doesn't need the most powerful

586
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:33.279
weapons on earth. He is the most powerful weapon anywhere,

587
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:36.039
and nobody's going to defeat him. We already know that

588
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.799
he's won the war. We can cheat and get on

589
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.720
the winning side. It's like we've looked at the last page.

590
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:43.359
We know, oh my.

591
00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:47.240
Goodness, we can win if we just agree to be

592
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:51.880
on part of God's in God's army and be part

593
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.640
of that winning side. We know how it ends, but

594
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.680
what we don't know is how each of us individually

595
00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:01.119
is going to choose. You've got to make a choice.

596
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:03.559
If you just leave it to default, you will.

597
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:04.759
Lose without doubt.

598
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.359
Declare that you are against Satan. You're against sin, you

599
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:11.279
hate evil, you love God. You want his power and authority.

600
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:14.400
You're willing to live according to his rules and principles

601
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.319
because it's best for you anyway.

602
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:19.359
It's a win win, win win. But we've got to

603
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:20.279
make that choice.

604
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:22.880
Well, George, you know I go back to I always

605
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.519
tell everybody when you have any doubt, just go to

606
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.079
the beginning when you go to Genesis and you see

607
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:33.440
where war was declared upon humanity when Satan approached Eve

608
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:38.119
and said, did God really say he introduced an alternate

609
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:41.279
worldview at that point. Up until then, Adam and Eve

610
00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:43.200
didn't have an alternate worldview, did they?

611
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:44.880
No?

612
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.559
And you know, you bring up such an important thing

613
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:49.519
for our culture today, which.

614
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:51.160
Is the concept of truth.

615
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.799
Yes, when we look at our data and what people

616
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:58.960
believe about truth. Part of losing the war is when

617
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:02.240
you say, nobody can tell me truth but me. I

618
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.599
am the truth for my life, and nothing could be

619
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:10.079
farther from the truth. Because the truth is God. He

620
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:14.000
is the very embodiment of truth. And He loves you

621
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.960
and me and everybody that will ever meet so much

622
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:19.319
that he gave us the truth.

623
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:22.759
He codified it in the pages of the Bible.

624
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:26.079
So if we forget it, if we don't understand it,

625
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.400
if we want to show it to somebody, I mean,

626
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:30.400
all we have to do is open up the Bible,

627
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:33.640
read the story. He makes it very clear for us,

628
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:37.720
and ultimately then we are to become the embodiment of

629
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:39.880
that same kind of truth. We won't do it as

630
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:42.400
perfectly as he does. But we can know what it

631
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.680
should be like, what it should feel like, what it

632
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:47.880
should be doing, and how we can share that with others.

633
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:52.200
Truth is critical and unless we understand that we are

634
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:56.440
being manipulated, we are being lied to. And you know,

635
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:58.720
some people say, well, I don't think Satan's in fact,

636
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.720
most Americans says, hey, and is real. You know, he's

637
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:04.880
a symbol of evil and whatnot. But I don't have

638
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.920
to worry about his direct influence on me. You fell

639
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.519
for the first law exactly.

640
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.920
Yeah, gotcha. Yeah, that's true. And the thing is is

641
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:18.599
that we sit there and we want to kick at

642
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:22.840
the goads and refuse history and empirical evidence as to

643
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:27.039
what happens when you deny the truth. God is the truth.

644
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.039
And this is where we are in this culture today.

645
00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:33.960
It's either you're either are pro God or your anti God.

646
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.960
I mean that that's the divide, isn't it. I mean,

647
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:39.480
I mean we use you don't have to parse it

648
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.239
out into politics and say, well, you're a Republican, you're

649
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.400
a Democratic. No, you either are for God or you're

650
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:46.119
against God.

651
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:49.400
Yeah, And it cracks me up, you know, because this

652
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:51.119
week We've been working with a bunch of people who

653
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.360
are really wrestling with that issue. So how do I

654
00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:56.920
know he exists? All right, here's test number one. Can

655
00:34:56.960 --> 00:35:00.119
you open your eyes, you know, and just look around you,

656
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.039
you know, go back there and read Romans one and

657
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:05.320
Romans two and understand that you're not the first person

658
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.440
to wrestle with this, and don't feel bad about that.

659
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:11.199
But the answer is so clear, it's right in front

660
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:14.440
of you, no matter where you look. God created everything.

661
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:16.800
God created you. He created you to love what he

662
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:20.280
made for you. But he created you for his purposes.

663
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.000
Get a clue about what's going on, because it'll make

664
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:24.480
life go so much better.

665
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:28.360
Well, I like how sant Augustine worked out the formula.

666
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:31.039
He said, First, it starts with faith. You know, you've

667
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:33.199
got you've got to have faith, you know, as the

668
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:37.119
song says, and that's where that's where it starts. And

669
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:41.599
because faith will lead to belief and then belief evolves

670
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:45.400
into understanding. Right, So it's that process that you go through.

671
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:47.960
And it's okay that you question it. I think that's

672
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:51.719
a healthy that's a healthy thing, and it's a blessing

673
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:54.320
that you're asking that question. And guess what. There are

674
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:57.199
a lot of people, you know, religious people that you

675
00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:59.960
would think, oh my God, they're just undoubtedly they're sayings

676
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:03.000
like Mother Teresa, for example, and what she dealt with

677
00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:05.400
all her life is you know, George, I mean, you

678
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:09.199
know she was she dealt with some dark stuff and constantly,

679
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:11.760
you know, she was just so committed to God that

680
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.880
anything that wasn't God it just bothered her and it

681
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.199
put her in a dark space and caused her to

682
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.239
question her faith.

683
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.079
You know, I've been privileged bell over the course of

684
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.599
my career to interact with a lot of the great

685
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:27.840
spiritual leaders in America, and I try to learn something

686
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:29.400
from every one of them when I'm with them. You know,

687
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:32.360
it's a little embarrassing how little I know, but you know,

688
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:34.440
it's great to be in their presence and to be

689
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:36.599
able to ask some questions about So, what have you learned,

690
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.400
what are you struggling with? How do you handle these things?

691
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:42.559
I got to tell you, so many of the great

692
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:46.920
faith leaders in our country when you get to ask

693
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:49.440
them these questions to oh my goodness, I've gone through

694
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:53.400
my dark periods where you know, stuff happens to me. Yes,

695
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:57.039
it's a war and I start to question, where are

696
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:00.280
you God? Yes, we're human, you know about ultimate lea.

697
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:03.440
God again reveals himself and he brings me back to

698
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:06.400
his word. He brings me back to his practices, his

699
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:10.719
love and Billy, you know, I mean my primary focus

700
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:13.440
is discipleship. Are people becoming disciples?

701
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:14.079
Right?

702
00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:16.679
And so many people say, eh, yeah, I go to church.

703
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:19.159
He's say no, no, no, no, no, that's not the issue,

704
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:21.360
you know. I mean, let's look at what Jesus said

705
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:25.039
it takes to be a disciple. And I would maintain

706
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:27.400
that there are six times in the scriptures when God

707
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.159
said this is what makes you a disciple, and one

708
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:32.519
of those is back in Luke fourteen twenty six, where

709
00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:35.360
basically he said, look, you want to be a disciple

710
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:38.719
of mine, You cannot be a disciple unless God comes

711
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.920
first in your life. Get your eyes off yourself, get

712
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:46.280
your eyes onto him. Understand who he is, what he's about,

713
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:48.920
what he expects of you, what he's given to you

714
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:52.639
to fight the war, Your gifts, your calling, your relationships,

715
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:57.840
you know, your circumstances. All of this is not by chance,

716
00:37:58.360 --> 00:37:58.679
you know, I.

717
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:01.880

794
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:08.760
Hey, we're back with Bill Martinez.

795
00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:11.079
Here with doctor George Barnett, the director of Research at

796
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:15.159
Arizona Christian University's Cultural Research Center, author of Raising Spiritual Genkins.

797
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:18.159
You know, George, you touched on something. It's so important

798
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:21.800
here and for people to understand discipleship. We take that

799
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:25.280
for granted. We don't realize what that does in terms

800
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:30.360
of igniting your walk with God, your relationship with others.

801
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:33.760
Because for all that God is giving you, and this

802
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:37.079
is all what makes up a biblical worldview. You have

803
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:40.599
this responsibility to not contain it. You've got to share

804
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.400
it because otherwise, if it just stays within you, it's

805
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:45.880
going to rot and start to stink.

806
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:50.599
And what I find is that a lot of Americans,

807
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:55.000
at least that's what I study, have this mistaken notion

808
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:59.719
that they could never really be a disciple because disciples

809
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:05.519
are supposed to be holy, and they misinterpret holiness to

810
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.480
mean perfection, that we're supposed to be perfect. I'm never

811
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:09.320
going to be perfect.

812
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:10.000
You know.

813
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:13.079
They're not sometimes willing to believe they're a sinner, but

814
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:16.880
they do make mistakes. Most most Americans admit that, even

815
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:19.679
if they don't admit, Yeah, I'm a center. But holiness

816
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:23.400
isn't about perfection. To be holy means to be set apart.

817
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:26.079
And that's what Jesus did for us. He set us

818
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:30.239
apart as a group of people who recognize our sinfulness,

819
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:34.639
how far short we fall, how much we need him

820
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:38.480
in our corner, vouching for us before the true Holy

821
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:42.239
One God himself, who's set apart more than any of

822
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.519
us could ever hope to be. But the thing that

823
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:47.719
encourages me is always to go back and look at

824
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.119
the disciples themselves, the apostles, and it's like, oh boy,

825
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:52.559
here's a bunch of losers, you know.

826
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:54.519
And then I said, oh, wait a minute, those are

827
00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:55.639
my guys.

828
00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:55.880
Time.

829
00:43:56.840 --> 00:43:59.599
Yeah, I'm one of them. Come on, guys, let me in.

830
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:03.159
And so, you know, if we recognize, okay, we're going

831
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:06.800
from a fall in place to a saved place, and

832
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.320
that saving is done by Christ. But I have my

833
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:14.400
responsibilities in this process too. And so you know, Jesus

834
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:16.840
gives us six principles for how to become a disciple.

835
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:21.239
You know, obey his teachings, love other disciples, bear spiritual fruit,

836
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:25.800
put God before everything else, dump your own agenda except

837
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:29.079
God's agenda for your life. And in the process of that,

838
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:33.320
be willing to surrender everything. Those are doable things, not

839
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:36.960
easy things, but the doable things. And when we make

840
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.000
that kind of commitment, yeah, we're going to make progress.

841
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:40.159
For the kingdom.

842
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:45.679
Interesting in that notation of the six principles, he didn't

843
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:50.159
say don't sin, right, I mean, because your point is

844
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:53.000
in terms of perfection, you know. And this bothered me

845
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:55.800
here a couple of weeks ago, this this, you know,

846
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:58.800
I was reading in my devotions is be perfect because

847
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:02.920
God's perfect. And I'm going, okay, Holy Spirit, why is

848
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:05.480
God calling me to do something that he knows I'm

849
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:08.800
incapable of doing? He says, you missed the point. The

850
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:12.400
point is is that in these moments of imperfection, just

851
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:15.119
like you were saying earlier, what makes a disciple is

852
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:19.280
because you're attuned to Jesus. When you screw up, you

853
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.119
get back into tune. You go back to Jesus, and

854
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:27.480
that's what reorients you and sets you in that position

855
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:30.400
of being set aside and keeps you in that spot. Right,

856
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:32.360
it's the fact that you come back. It's like you

857
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:35.079
read about David and you go, man, this guy kills

858
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.920
his buddy for his wife, you know, all these things

859
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:39.679
that he did, and then God says he's a man

860
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:45.079
after my own heart. O Evey, Right, It's true.

861
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:47.079
You know, I was at a basketball game, high school

862
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:49.840
basketball game the other night, and I was watching the

863
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:51.719
kids on the squad. There a bunch of them that

864
00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:54.840
are Christians that we know, and it intrigued me that,

865
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:57.920
you know, they mess up on the court. Coach would

866
00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:00.639
pull him off the court, talk to him, put him

867
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:03.199
back in the game. And that's kind of the story

868
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:04.599
of our spiritual life.

869
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.159
You know. It's like God loves me. He puts me

870
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:07.559
in the game.

871
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.760
It's like, go go George, you know, and I mess up,

872
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:12.119
he pulls me out of the games.

873
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:13.920
Knucklehead, What are you thinking?

874
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:17.800
You know what you're paying attention now, watch this, do this,

875
00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:18.960
you can do it.

876
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:20.719
Go It puts me back in the game, you know,

877
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:22.920
and hopefully I do better. But that's it.

878
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:24.639
I mean, our life is going to be a push

879
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:29.960
pull experience where because we are falling creatures, we need

880
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.599
the only human who ever lived, Jesus Christ, who also

881
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:37.480
happened to be divine, you know, who will come and

882
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:39.079
speak up for no coach.

883
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:41.559
It's okay, he gets it now, you know, He's going

884
00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:42.360
to do a better job.

885
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:45.719
Give them another shot, you know, and God probably sighs,

886
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.639
Oh my gosh, how many times, George? You know, But okay,

887
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:51.960
you've got an unlimited number of fowls, you know, for

888
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:52.440
the moment.

889
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:53.679
But you know, do better.

890
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:59.559
Yeah, yeah, seventy times seven, right, I love it. But yeah,

891
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.920
I just you know, And that's how I see this

892
00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:05.920
is that you know, Yes, I mean, we're called we've

893
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:09.000
been set aside and there's some responsibility on this and

894
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:12.440
when we can live with that in mind, with that

895
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.599
kind of worldview, that it's so needed right now. And

896
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.320
you think, you know, after Charlie Kirk's assassination, you know,

897
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:21.920
there was a lot of encouragement. You know, people, Oh,

898
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.239
revival is going to break out, and all these kids

899
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:25.840
are coming back to the church. And there's no doubt

900
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:28.000
a lot of people are coming to churches. There's there's

901
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.880
no question because you've got people who are they're a

902
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:33.760
little upset because their favorite pews are not available like

903
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:37.880
they were before Charlie Kirk's assassination. You know, we're such

904
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:40.639
we're so goofy in our humanity, right, I mean, I

905
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:42.719
don't want a lot of people coming to churches. I've

906
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.920
got my seat here and and this is it, and

907
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:49.719
this new person took my seat, you know. And the

908
00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:51.400
reason I bring that up because I went to this

909
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:53.239
a little bit and I thought, oh my gosh, I'm like,

910
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:58.280
who is it in the Big Bang theory? Oh gosh.

911
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:00.480
I don't know why his name always is keepes me,

912
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:04.199
but anyway, he always has his favorite seat in the chair. Nobody,

913
00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:07.039
nobody can get in his share. And I came home.

914
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:09.760
I told my wife, I go, oh my god, I'm him.

915
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:14.960
I yeah, I've looked in the mirror and I've seen

916
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:16.880
the enemy. Yeah it be me.

917
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:23.039
Yeah exactly. Yeah, It's just it's insane. But anyway, and.

918
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:24.800
Part of what we're seeing in the research, you know,

919
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:27.440
because we were looking for that, we know that Charlie's

920
00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:32.039
murder had a lot to do with the spiritual re

921
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:35.159
examination for a lot of people. And that's you know,

922
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:37.840
it's awful that my friend was murdered, but it's great

923
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.199
that it, even in dying, he had that kind of

924
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:46.559
an impact. But does going to church mean we're in revival? No,

925
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.119
you know, and part of my contention is that the

926
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:54.559
the the local church as we know it today wasn't

927
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:58.760
really ready for that moment. And so what happened was,

928
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:02.320
I mean, we've we've got to go through, you know,

929
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:06.679
a refinement period within the church first, so when people

930
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:10.840
come in, we're ready to actually model for them what

931
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:14.760
christ like living is and to bring them along with us,

932
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:19.119
because that's how then revival really works, where you've had

933
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:22.119
that period of time where the church gets it's act together.

934
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:24.960
Those of us who love Jesus have thought about yeah,

935
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:29.639
am I really being a Christ's presence everywhere I go

936
00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:32.039
in my culture? And if not, what do I do

937
00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:35.239
to get there? And then when people come back in,

938
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:38.800
then they're not just sitting there taking notes and singing songs,

939
00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:41.840
but they're able to watch us when we walk out

940
00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:44.719
and we treat people differently, starting in the parking lot,

941
00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:47.079
you know, and then when we get on the street,

942
00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:48.920
and then when we're in the stores, and then when.

943
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:50.320
We're in our neighborhoods, you know.

944
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:53.559
Because what we're finding in our research is that when

945
00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:59.000
it comes to discipleship, perhaps the most powerful thing that gets.

946
00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:02.360
A non disciple to commit to the life.

947
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:05.840
Of discipleship is having a disciple whose life they can

948
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:08.760
watch and see, not only what it looks like, what

949
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:11.960
a difference it really makes. So it's not just a

950
00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:16.000
lot of talk on Sunday mornings, but it's faith and action.

951
00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:20.360
It's lives revolutionized by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit,

952
00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:24.039
the presence of God wherever we go. It's not about me,

953
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:26.880
it's about me giving God a place in my life

954
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:29.679
so that wherever I am He can shine.

955
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:33.360
Through exactly, and it's not about the things of this world. George,

956
00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:35.400
we got to let those things go and be set

957
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:39.239
aside and be elevated to those higher things, the higher calling.

958
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:43.440
And it's counter revolutionary because right now, in this culture

959
00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:46.679
that we live in, it's it's you know, dog eat dog,

960
00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:50.639
man eat man. I mean, it's all about consumerism. It's

961
00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:55.400
you know, and you can't you can't disciple people if

962
00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:57.960
you want to eat them up, so to speak.

963
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:02.039
And again, when we look at the research and ask

964
00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:05.119
people how they're feeling, because feelings are so important in

965
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:08.159
our culture today, we trust feelings rather than any kind

966
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:11.280
of absolute truth. So when we do that, what we

967
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:14.760
find is an enormous number of people, particularly people under forty,

968
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:20.800
say that they're wrestling literally every day with anxiety, with fear,

969
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:24.000
with depression, and with suicidal.

970
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:24.760
Thoughts, those four things.

971
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:28.519
And so for those of us who are living in

972
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:32.480
the same circumstances as those people who are wrestling with

973
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:36.360
those awful weights that they're carrying around all day long,

974
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:39.239
and to show them a smile, to show them, yeah,

975
00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:41.960
you know what, I'm not perfect, but I've got so

976
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:46.760
much hope. I'm completely optimistic about my future because of Jesus.

977
00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:50.400
And there's a war going on, yep, it's harder to

978
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:54.159
buy groceries and gas yep. People are at odds with

979
00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:57.079
each other, yep. It's harder to find a job, yep.

980
00:51:57.400 --> 00:51:59.800
It's tough to pay the rent this month. All of

981
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:04.559
these things and more. But I've got God leading the

982
00:52:04.599 --> 00:52:07.599
way for me, so I don't fear any of those things.

983
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:10.559
I'm not anxious about the future because even though my

984
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:13.719
bank account might be struggling, I'm not because I got

985
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:14.880
Christ living through me.

986
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:18.559
Well, I like what Paul said. I've learned to be content,

987
00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:21.480
you know, and I think that's the measure in the

988
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:23.199
midst of it, you know, as they say, when everybody

989
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:25.760
else is losing their heads, you know, as you're still

990
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:29.639
screwed on and without Jesus. Yeah, I'm with the rest

991
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:31.800
of them, you know. I'm kicking my head down the

992
00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:36.519
road with Jesus. My head's on regardless, you know, regardless

993
00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:39.320
of what's happening around me, because I know I can

994
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:41.960
count on Him and I.

995
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:44.199
Love Also what Paul says, a relation of that give

996
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:47.960
thanks in all circumstances exactly how tough it is. If

997
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:50.559
you've got God on your side, You're going to win.

998
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:54.639
You are winning. You are a winner. So don't worry

999
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:57.880
about it, just to get your mind off the tough stuff,

1000
00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:01.519
gets your mind and your heart and your soul intertwined

1001
00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:04.519
with his, and move forward. However he tells you to do,

1002
00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:06.880
trust him and see the great stuff.

1003
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:09.559
He's going to do well. And as you said, the

1004
00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:13.119
onus is on the church. It always judgment happens in

1005
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:16.480
the church first, right, And so we've got to get

1006
00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:19.079
our act together. And we're, you know, seemingly when you

1007
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:22.039
look at and measure a biblical worldview, the church is

1008
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:26.599
losing ground. But God isn't. We can be thankful for that, right,

1009
00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:28.039
I'm gonna let you wrap it up.

1010
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:31.239
Go ahead, you know, go back and just take a

1011
00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:35.000
look at the core things that you believe in life

1012
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.360
and then compare them to Scripture. Find a Scripture verse

1013
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:41.559
that coincides with what you think about every tough situation

1014
00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:44.639
you're facing today. And I'm willing to bet that a

1015
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:47.440
lot of people are going to find wow, you know what.

1016
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:49.119
I was going to handle it this way, but here's

1017
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:51.719
what God says. Maybe there is a better way to

1018
00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:52.280
handle it, in.

1019
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:54.800
His God's way. And when I do that, He's going

1020
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:56.119
to show up in a big way.

1021
00:53:56.880 --> 00:54:00.719
Well, doctor George Barnet writes no measurable increase in biblical

1022
00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:05.079
worldview following Charlie Kirk's assassination and this report. You can

1023
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:07.320
read it for yourself, right, doctor George.

1024
00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:11.719
Absolutely, they can go to Cultural Research Center dot com

1025
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:15.039
or they could go to Georgebarnet dot COM's in both places.

1026
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:17.719
Read it for free, share it with others, think about it,

1027
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:20.679
pray about it, but apply what you need to to

1028
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:23.000
get to that point where you have a biblical worldview.

1029
00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:26.280

Getting America back on track. Bill Martinez Live.

1055
00:55:44.920 --> 00:55:47.039
Well, Good morning America. Six minutes after the top of

1056
00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:49.760
the hour. Right now, I'm Bill Martinez. He's Kevin Mooney.

1057
00:55:49.760 --> 00:55:51.599
We're going to talk about his new of a climatecorn,

1058
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:57.239
how and why anti populations zalids fabricate science while targeting

1059
00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:01.760
American capitalism, freedom and independence. Kevin, Welcome to Michelle. Good

1060
00:56:01.760 --> 00:56:02.400
to have you with us.

1061
00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:04.119
Hey, thanks so much for having me. Very glad to

1062
00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:04.480
be here.

1063
00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:06.840
Well, I love the premise of the book. I mean,

1064
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:09.440
you know, you got exposed for what it is. I mean,

1065
00:56:10.719 --> 00:56:13.239
the anti populations outs have been around forever. I mean

1066
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:16.840
they were screaming in the fetal position when the world

1067
00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:20.280
hit two billion, right, and now we're here at eight

1068
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:23.960
billion in counting, and they just must just be out

1069
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:24.719
of their skulls.

1070
00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:28.880
Yeah, that this idea that humanities of light to the

1071
00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:31.599
planet has a long history here, and you point out,

1072
00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:34.039
but I think the modern climate movement sort of put

1073
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:37.440
it on steroids and sort of gave new life to

1074
00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:40.440
this regulatory state and all the centralized planning that comes

1075
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:43.320
with it, which really amounts to an assault on the

1076
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:47.920
American constitutional system. So my great hope is that, especially

1077
00:56:48.039 --> 00:56:50.199
what we see at the Trump administration, we do see

1078
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:53.559
these incremental steps back toward getting us out of these

1079
00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:57.320
international climate agreements that make an end ran our constitutional

1080
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:00.000
order and get us back to being a free, independent country.

1081
00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:01.840
And that's that's why I saw an opening to do

1082
00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:03.400
this book, because I think it's a rubber MEAs the

1083
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:03.920
road moment.

1084
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:06.559
Well, yeah, because really, you know, to me, the way

1085
00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:07.960
I've been looking at it, Kevin, I don't know if

1086
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:10.079
you agree or not, but you know, I mean, it's

1087
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:13.880
quite arrogant of people to think that God who created

1088
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:17.800
all this didn't know better that somehow in his planning,

1089
00:57:18.719 --> 00:57:21.280
you know, he had already set a governor for a

1090
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:26.199
set population, and you know, meanwhile, you get these faux

1091
00:57:26.239 --> 00:57:29.400
scientists who come in with their theories, which after all

1092
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:32.440
these years and trillions of dollars, what do they have

1093
00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:37.840
to show for all the trouble and heartache and you know,

1094
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:40.480
I believe harm that they've done to civilization.

1095
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:44.400
Yeah, not only that, but if you listen to the

1096
00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:47.199
climates activists very carefully, all the people who they claim

1097
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:50.719
to champion the poorest, most vulnerable populations, they're the ones

1098
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:53.880
who really suffer from these climate policies. They're the ones

1099
00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:56.679
who suffer from the lack of access to affordable and

1100
00:57:56.760 --> 00:58:00.880
reliable energy and to the ability to improve their living addictions. So,

1101
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:03.159
as you pointed out earlier at its part at Ruth,

1102
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:06.000
it's an anti human movement. But I just find it

1103
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:08.280
kind of interesting that all the people that the climate

1104
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:11.400
activists at the UN meetings claim the champion the poorest populations,

1105
00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:13.639
they're the ones who really suffer from their policies.

1106
00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:16.400
Yeah. And the thing is is that, you know, you

1107
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:18.599
keep thinking, when is enough going to be enough? You know,

1108
00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:20.559
when is al Gore going to go back in the

1109
00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:24.960
box that would be possible and all these other you know,

1110
00:58:25.159 --> 00:58:31.840
climate alarmists, because again, what's what credence do they have remaining.

1111
00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:35.280
I mean they it's like they've they've chased every windmill

1112
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:38.199
you could possibly chase, and they've come up with Bubbkis.

1113
00:58:39.760 --> 00:58:42.920
Well, I think you've seized on something very important. I

1114
00:58:42.920 --> 00:58:46.159
do think there is an honorable tradition of conservationism and

1115
00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:49.719
environmentalism that predates this command and control approach that I

1116
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:51.400
think first set in when the first Earth Day in

1117
00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:55.159
the nineteen seventies. You look carefully what they advocate, whether

1118
00:58:55.199 --> 00:58:58.679
it's the windmills or the solar farms, another of these

1119
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:00.719
things are really good for the environceronment or good for

1120
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:04.840
the climate. So even by their own metrics, their failure,

1121
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:07.320
and I think there's a public awakening to that reality.

1122
00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:12.440
Well, and like you said, you know, you know, I

1123
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:15.840
get it, because initially I think it's it's good to think,

1124
00:59:15.920 --> 00:59:18.320
you know, that we need to be good stewards of

1125
00:59:18.360 --> 00:59:22.920
the planet and we need to be mindful of conserving

1126
00:59:23.360 --> 00:59:26.320
our natural resources. I get that. I mean, I grew

1127
00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:28.679
up in California, and I got to tell you, for

1128
00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:30.760
many years when we were growing up, whenever we had

1129
00:59:30.760 --> 00:59:33.599
to go inland. I grew up on the coast in

1130
00:59:33.679 --> 00:59:36.920
Ventura County, but whenever we went Inland, this smog was

1131
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:40.000
so bad, Kevin that you know, we had to bring

1132
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:42.480
in oxygen tanks for our baseball team so that we

1133
00:59:42.519 --> 00:59:45.199
could we could finish a nine inning game. You know,

1134
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:45.960
is that bad?

1135
00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:49.800
You know, Well, here's the good news, and of course

1136
00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:53.320
it goes unreported. In terms of lowering pollutants, actual pollutants,

1137
00:59:53.519 --> 00:59:57.679
the United States has made tremendous progress. You know, communist

1138
00:59:57.840 --> 00:59:59.960
China is the world's number one pollute or not us,

1139
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:02.920
quite the opposite. Look at all the harm these harmful

1140
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:06.559
particulates that have that have been reduced. Uh, I think

1141
01:00:06.599 --> 01:00:09.440
really thanks to the free market system and American ingenuity.

1142
01:00:10.199 --> 01:00:12.880
So there's good news out there where the environments concerned.

1143
01:00:12.920 --> 01:00:13.159
I think.

1144
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:17.199
Unfortunately, the climate movement has hijacked traditional environmentalism.

1145
01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:20.519
Well it is, and with their false narrative.

1146
01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:21.199
Uh.

1147
01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:25.480
I mean it's been a battle, you know for energy producers.

1148
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:27.800
And look at what they've done over the years. I

1149
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:30.320
mean when you when you put them side by side,

1150
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.920
who's done more harm versus you know the energy sector,

1151
01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:38.960
coal sector and all the innovation that they've done to uh,

1152
01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:42.880
you know, clean up coal and uh and to really

1153
01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:49.199
you know, offer too to America a really robust energy

1154
01:00:49.280 --> 01:00:53.000
sector that I believe is very positive. I'm not seeing

1155
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:54.840
a lot of negative coming out of here. I don't

1156
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:57.480
see you know, birds getting caught up or you know,

1157
01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:01.599
whales being disoriented, and you know, things like that. But

1158
01:01:01.639 --> 01:01:07.039
it's just that there's been a responsible reaction by energy

1159
01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:10.400
producers to give us cleaner energy.

1160
01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:13.039
Don't you think I think so. And I would also

1161
01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:17.840
say that energy and freedom go together. I think one

1162
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:19.840
great thing about the Trump administration is the way they've

1163
01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:24.199
doubled down on unleashing our domestic homegown resources, the natural

1164
01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:27.000
gas revolution, all of our rich deposits of oil and

1165
01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:29.480
natural gas. Why in the world shall we need to

1166
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:33.480
be dependent upon unreliable, hostile, foreign sources of energy. That's

1167
01:01:33.559 --> 01:01:36.119
just a completely backwards way of doing things. And I'm

1168
01:01:36.119 --> 01:01:38.360
glad to see there's some course corrections going on here.

1169
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:42.480
But I repeat, energy and freedom go together. You cannot

1170
01:01:42.480 --> 01:01:44.079
separate the two well.

1171
01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:48.599
And the thing is is that when you've got political

1172
01:01:48.719 --> 01:01:54.400
interests that serve an opposing viewpoint that somehow puts money

1173
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:58.159
into their coffers and into their reelection campaigns, I mean,

1174
01:01:58.199 --> 01:02:00.519
they continue just to scare the holy what have you

1175
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:03.239
out of the people and you get the credit Gunberg's

1176
01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:05.719
and you get to you know, al Gore making all

1177
01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:09.079
these false statements. And you know, I'm of the old school, Kevin,

1178
01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:12.639
is that you know, if you're out there and even

1179
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:15.880
if you have a theory and okay, and you positive

1180
01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:19.440
as a theory and it proves wrong, well then you know,

1181
01:02:19.480 --> 01:02:21.119
I have more respect for you if you come out

1182
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:23.559
and said, hey, look at this was our idea, maybe

1183
01:02:23.599 --> 01:02:25.840
we need more research or something like that. But they

1184
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:29.280
don't admit to it. They just doubled down, and you know,

1185
01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:32.119
and they want to gaslight this into thinking that is

1186
01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:35.599
you know, it's worse and you know everybody's dying as

1187
01:02:35.639 --> 01:02:37.719
a result of you know, climate change.

1188
01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:40.719
You know, I think it's even worse than that. What

1189
01:02:40.760 --> 01:02:43.639
they've done is they've undermined the scientific method. I mean,

1190
01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:46.039
the way science traditionally has work is that you test

1191
01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:48.639
and you have a hypothesis and let it rise and

1192
01:02:48.679 --> 01:02:51.199
fall on its own merits. Under the climate movement, they

1193
01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:54.719
have the ending already written. Here's our desired outcomes to

1194
01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:58.119
coerce our policies onto the American people, and you follow

1195
01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:00.639
the process any which way we worse to get the

1196
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:03.679
idea outcome that we want that turns science upside down.

1197
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:07.159
So I think there's been a real disservice done here.

1198
01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:10.239
I think there is a course correction underway, and I

1199
01:03:10.239 --> 01:03:12.159
think a rediscovery of sound science.

1200
01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:15.719
Well, you're exactly right. I mean even Barack Obama, you know,

1201
01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:20.079
misuses terms. He will say that, you know, this is

1202
01:03:20.119 --> 01:03:25.679
a fact. Well, a fact isn't appropriate in scientific scientific terminology.

1203
01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:27.920
It could be a law. You know, like you said,

1204
01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:31.079
it starts out as a theory, and you know, well

1205
01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:35.320
a hypothesis a theory. Then as it's proven itself, then

1206
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:39.000
you say, okay, we can you know, you can take

1207
01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:41.920
it to the bank. It's the law like gravity. But

1208
01:03:42.440 --> 01:03:45.559
in modern day science, there's fos science that's come out.

1209
01:03:46.320 --> 01:03:50.599
Like you said, they're already writing the conclusion without having

1210
01:03:50.639 --> 01:03:51.719
the facts.

1211
01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:55.679
Yeah. And also what they've been teaching in public schools

1212
01:03:55.679 --> 01:03:57.679
in the name of climate alarmism is terrible if you

1213
01:03:57.679 --> 01:04:00.199
really take a hard look at it. It's the young

1214
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:02.559
students who really should learn about the scientific method. They're

1215
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:05.599
being told that no, there's no debate, there's a climate catastrophe,

1216
01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:09.159
and that your futures can strain, and that human possibilities

1217
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:11.679
are limited, when in fact, I think the reverse is true.

1218
01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:14.559
I think American ingenuity can always find a way, And

1219
01:04:14.639 --> 01:04:16.280
I think we need to get back to rigorous on

1220
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:18.840
as science, and I think we're starting to. And when

1221
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:20.920
you take a look at scientific observations, by the way,

1222
01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:23.880
the evidence now shows us that climate, that cooling and

1223
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:27.280
warming trends are primarily the result of natural influences. There

1224
01:04:27.320 --> 01:04:30.199
could be human influences at the margins, but the science

1225
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:33.599
is finally caught up and debunked the hysteria exactly.

1226
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:35.159
We've got to go to quick break. We've got more

Hey, we're back with you. Welcome back, Bill Martinez. Here,

1314
01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:17.720
we're talking with the author of Climate Born journalist Kevin Mooney.

1315
01:09:18.479 --> 01:09:20.720
He explains the upcoming two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of

1316
01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:25.279
America's declaration of Independence gives us an opportunity to reassert

1317
01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:28.960
national sovereignty, at least here in the United States. Right.

1318
01:09:30.119 --> 01:09:32.600
Oh, absolutely, I think one of the great birthday gifts

1319
01:09:32.680 --> 01:09:35.359
Donald Trump is giving to the American people, and you

1320
01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:38.479
know this coming July fourth, celebrating two hundred and fifty

1321
01:09:38.560 --> 01:09:41.399
years of American independance, is getting out of the United

1322
01:09:41.439 --> 01:09:43.960
Nations Paris Agreement and all the other uit agreements to

1323
01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:45.720
go along with it. Now, just think about that for

1324
01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:50.239
a minute. Under those under those treaties, these international bureaucrafts

1325
01:09:50.279 --> 01:09:53.199
were essentially able to impose energy taxes on the American

1326
01:09:53.199 --> 01:09:57.439
people and you know, other Western countries without any kind

1327
01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:01.720
of he say so from their elected officials. Donald Trump's comment,

1328
01:10:02.600 --> 01:10:07.119
I represent Pittsburgh, not Paris. The subject that is, no

1329
01:10:07.239 --> 01:10:11.479
taxation without representation. If you want to tax us, if

1330
01:10:11.479 --> 01:10:13.800
you want an energy tax in the name of client climate.

1331
01:10:13.960 --> 01:10:15.920
Well that had the US sentence, stand up and have

1332
01:10:16.000 --> 01:10:17.960
a straight up and down vote on it. But under

1333
01:10:18.079 --> 01:10:20.600
the Obama administration, they made and run around the units

1334
01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:22.039
in the UN said if they found a way to

1335
01:10:22.079 --> 01:10:24.920
describe the Paris Agreement as something other than the treaty,

1336
01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:28.039
which in fact it really was. So I don't think

1337
01:10:28.079 --> 01:10:30.680
you can overstate the importance of Donald Trump getting out

1338
01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:32.159
of these international agreements.

1339
01:10:32.520 --> 01:10:34.640
You know, and I like what you said earlier that

1340
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:39.119
what they've done essentially is impinge on our liberty and

1341
01:10:39.199 --> 01:10:42.760
the American people need to understand that that they're forcing

1342
01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:46.600
around peg in a square hole. And and you know,

1343
01:10:46.600 --> 01:10:49.680
It'd be one thing if you could say after doing

1344
01:10:49.720 --> 01:10:53.279
that that there was some positive outcome. But after decades

1345
01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:56.520
and trillions of dollars of wasted money, what don't we

1346
01:10:56.560 --> 01:10:57.319
have to show for it?

1347
01:10:57.439 --> 01:11:01.359
Kevin, Yeah, it's unfortunate because you know, there's an opportunity

1348
01:11:01.359 --> 01:11:05.399
costs here. There are always going to be challenges to humanity,

1349
01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:07.319
but we're going to be in a stronger position to

1350
01:11:07.359 --> 01:11:11.479
handle those challenges for richer, wealthier, and more industrialized, not

1351
01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:14.680
if we dismantle think about it for a minute, that

1352
01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:17.399
the people who survive severe weather conditions are the people

1353
01:11:17.720 --> 01:11:21.880
who have resources exactly. I don't think the fossil fuel

1354
01:11:21.880 --> 01:11:27.439
industry gets enough credit for people in richer, wealthier societies

1355
01:11:27.680 --> 01:11:31.239
being being able to endure these extreme weather conditions, which

1356
01:11:31.239 --> 01:11:33.479
by the way, are purely natural. They're not more severe

1357
01:11:33.600 --> 01:11:36.319
or more more frequent than they've been in the past,

1358
01:11:36.760 --> 01:11:38.960
But we just have more infrastructure in areas where these

1359
01:11:39.079 --> 01:11:40.079
where these incidents occur.

1360
01:11:41.039 --> 01:11:42.720
You know, you touched on a big thing that the

1361
01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:47.199
left has used repeatedly that there's man made influence, it's

1362
01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:51.159
man's fault. Where's the indication that it's man's fault.

1363
01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:57.680
Well, the attack on carbon dioxide. For example, CO two

1364
01:11:57.800 --> 01:12:00.000
is an attack on humanity itself. I mean, we don't

1365
01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:03.880
live without CO two. CO two is a naturally occurring substance.

1366
01:12:03.880 --> 01:12:06.319
So it's another way of saying that humanity is a

1367
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:09.039
blight to the planet, when in fact I think merchremdous asset.

1368
01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:12.439
Remember the biblical phrase go forth and multiply. I mean,

1369
01:12:13.319 --> 01:12:17.039
there's nothing more anti Christian, anti religious in the contemporary

1370
01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:17.760
climate movement.

1371
01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:19.640
You know.

1372
01:12:21.439 --> 01:12:24.199
Well, like I said, yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead.

1373
01:12:24.960 --> 01:12:26.680
Yeah, that's really trying to put its boot on the

1374
01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:29.800
neck of humanity, which is why I think the I

1375
01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:33.159
come at this from a very kind of different direction.

1376
01:12:33.279 --> 01:12:36.600
I think the pro life movement and economic libertarian should

1377
01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:39.119
all join forces in fighting this climate movement. You might

1378
01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:41.079
come at it for slightly different reasons, but like I say,

1379
01:12:41.159 --> 01:12:44.239
ultimately it's about an attack on innocent human life. But

1380
01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:46.479
also it's about assaulting our free market system. So we've

1381
01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:48.279
all got a stake in this from different perspectives.

1382
01:12:48.840 --> 01:12:51.680
Yeah, without a doubt, you're you're exactly right, well said,

1383
01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:55.000
because you know what's hanging in the balance here. I mean,

1384
01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:56.800
if you think not, just take a look at that.

1385
01:12:57.319 --> 01:12:59.760
You know, the country of Iran what they're going through

1386
01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:03.079
right now right as an example.

1387
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:06.760
For sure, for sure, and you know, hopefully we live

1388
01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:09.800
to see better days. I can see America joining forces

1389
01:13:10.399 --> 01:13:13.359
with hopefully a new new government in Iran that will

1390
01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:15.800
help them lift up that population by making use of

1391
01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:19.159
their rich industrial resources rather than using it to advance

1392
01:13:19.199 --> 01:13:22.920
the nefarious purposes of the current regime. So I hopefully

1393
01:13:22.920 --> 01:13:25.119
we'll live to see better days. And I think energy

1394
01:13:25.119 --> 01:13:26.760
and economic freedom can be a big part of that.

1395
01:13:27.319 --> 01:13:29.079
Well, you think about you know, like you say, the

1396
01:13:29.119 --> 01:13:32.560
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America's Declaration. You know,

1397
01:13:32.680 --> 01:13:36.279
since America became a nation, how we've contributed to the

1398
01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:41.079
greater landscape internationally when we've had proper leadership, whether it

1399
01:13:41.319 --> 01:13:46.479
was you know, revolutionizing the West so dramatically and becoming

1400
01:13:46.479 --> 01:13:50.680
a superpower, and what we've done to contribute to the

1401
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:54.680
betterment of mankind. I mean, you've got to really be blind.

1402
01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:58.159
I know, there's this sentiment, you know, thank you very

1403
01:13:58.199 --> 01:14:01.199
much the sixteen nineteen project than these other you know,

1404
01:14:01.359 --> 01:14:04.039
faux studies that go out there that even people say,

1405
01:14:04.159 --> 01:14:05.920
well that's a bunch of bunk, But you know, we'll

1406
01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:08.880
give them a Nobel Peace price or or a Pulitzer price.

1407
01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:11.520
You know, you know, toss that in like as if

1408
01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:15.760
it's some positive contribution when it's already been rejected, and

1409
01:14:16.279 --> 01:14:19.000
you know there's there's a lack of credibility with that.

1410
01:14:19.439 --> 01:14:22.600
But you know, here it is. I'm hoping that we

1411
01:14:22.640 --> 01:14:26.520
can be more sober minded about this opportunity because as

1412
01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:29.600
we become more sober minded, as you say, there's a

1413
01:14:29.640 --> 01:14:33.720
lot to be gained. No matter what faction, what group

1414
01:14:33.800 --> 01:14:36.720
or category you belong to, This could be win win

1415
01:14:36.800 --> 01:14:38.279
for all concerned. Can it not be?

1416
01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:42.920
Absolutely? And I think once again you've seized on a

1417
01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:45.479
very important point. I think there's a real opportunity here

1418
01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:47.960
to go back and rediscover the ideals of the American

1419
01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:51.119
family period, what makes so unique and distinct, And of

1420
01:14:51.159 --> 01:14:54.680
course that means by definition, rejecting the centralized planning of

1421
01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:58.560
the climate movement and it's anti constitutional impulses. So I

1422
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:01.319
hope and pray that as a real convergence here. I think,

1423
01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:02.880
let's put it this way. I think there's a real

1424
01:15:02.920 --> 01:15:06.520
opportunity here. Either either we're going to celebrate three hundred

1425
01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:08.640
years of American independence, or we're going to go back

1426
01:15:08.680 --> 01:15:11.439
and allow the globals agenda to consume us. And I

1427
01:15:11.479 --> 01:15:13.079
think it's just sitting right on the edge.

1428
01:15:13.680 --> 01:15:16.039
You say it's an either or choice, and I agree

1429
01:15:16.079 --> 01:15:19.439
with you. I think it's it's black and white. Uh.

1430
01:15:19.560 --> 01:15:22.119
And what no matter what you what you believe in,

1431
01:15:22.159 --> 01:15:23.960
you got you got to come down to the final

1432
01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:27.359
you know, the final conclusion of what what do you

1433
01:15:27.520 --> 01:15:30.319
want for this country? And I think that most people

1434
01:15:30.359 --> 01:15:32.239
you know, this country, in this world, and I think

1435
01:15:32.399 --> 01:15:38.279
most people when you have a sober consideration of that

1436
01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:42.319
end game, I think that we would find more agreement

1437
01:15:42.399 --> 01:15:43.319
than disagreement.

1438
01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:48.359
No, absolutely, you know, it seems like we're living in

1439
01:15:48.439 --> 01:15:51.000
very divisive, divisive times. But I also think there's a

1440
01:15:51.000 --> 01:15:53.079
great rediscovery happening. I think there's a little bit of

1441
01:15:53.079 --> 01:15:57.039
a religious re bible happening to uh. Either there there

1442
01:15:57.079 --> 01:16:00.760
there are palpable Christian natural wall rooms to our to

1443
01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:04.000
our founding period, meaning that that there's a power higher

1444
01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:07.000
than government. You know us our constitution is set up

1445
01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:09.239
not to create rights, but to secure pre existing rights,

1446
01:16:09.239 --> 01:16:12.760
and that's critically important. The United Nations says the absolute reverse.

1447
01:16:13.279 --> 01:16:14.560
They decide that you know, we're going to be in

1448
01:16:14.640 --> 01:16:17.000
charge of what we give out, and of course what

1449
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:19.239
they give out they can also take away anytime too.

1450
01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:23.000
So it isn't either a choice. It is black and white.

1451
01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:24.319
We either go one direction or the other.

1452
01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:27.680
Well, and you know, I agree with you, Kevin, And

1453
01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:33.399
you know, for me, my I guess my foundation is

1454
01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:36.039
spiritual and I look at it, you know, as you

1455
01:16:36.119 --> 01:16:38.560
said before, you know, you look at the foundation of

1456
01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:41.680
our constitution, rights given to us by God, not by man.

1457
01:16:42.479 --> 01:16:45.840
And uh, you know, God and his faithfulness and his

1458
01:16:45.920 --> 01:16:50.600
grace and mercy has blessed this nation for a specific purpose.

1459
01:16:50.920 --> 01:16:53.560
And what we've contributed, you know, not only to the

1460
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:56.680
citizens of this country, but to the world. I mean,

1461
01:16:56.920 --> 01:17:00.840
what other country has done this? And it's because I believe,

1462
01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:04.439
because of the hand of God, I think.

1463
01:17:04.479 --> 01:17:06.399
So we have to keep asking ourselves, are we in

1464
01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:08.720
his side? Are we in tune with the ideals of

1465
01:17:08.720 --> 01:17:09.760
our own founding period?

1466
01:17:10.399 --> 01:17:10.600
Right?

1467
01:17:11.079 --> 01:17:11.279
You know?

1468
01:17:11.640 --> 01:17:15.319
And it's today's Democratic Party that I look at is

1469
01:17:15.319 --> 01:17:17.399
not the Democratic Party that my parents joined, that my

1470
01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:19.800
grandparents joined. I think, I think we have to be

1471
01:17:19.840 --> 01:17:22.079
honest and say to ourselves that they really is an

1472
01:17:22.159 --> 01:17:24.239
enemy from within, that we could be very concerned about

1473
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:28.239
an anti constitutional party and anti constitutional movement. The good

1474
01:17:28.239 --> 01:17:33.680
news is I think there's a serious counter movement underway too, And.

1475
01:17:33.239 --> 01:17:36.119
I think, yeah, I think experience defines preference. You know,

1476
01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:38.359
it's like, well, how's that working for you? And you

1477
01:17:38.399 --> 01:17:39.960
get enough bad stuff, you say, hey, I want to

1478
01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:41.399
get back to the good stuff. I mean it's just

1479
01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:44.319
like Venezuela. I mean, they have a chance to, you know,

1480
01:17:44.399 --> 01:17:48.920
reorient their country around hopefully God willing will have you know,

1481
01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:51.800
the same opportunity in other countries, you know, the same way.

1482
01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:55.520
So you know, we could be living in very unique

1483
01:17:55.600 --> 01:17:58.319
historic times here, Kevin, and I'm excited about the future

1484
01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:01.880
and the opportunity that life ahead. But you know, clearly

1485
01:18:01.920 --> 01:18:03.720
I see it. The way I see it is that,

1486
01:18:04.399 --> 01:18:07.479
you know, we need to acknowledge that, you know, this

1487
01:18:07.520 --> 01:18:09.800
is God's popcorn stand, not ours, and if we do

1488
01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:13.359
those things that are consistent with Godly principles, then I

1489
01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:14.720
think we'll get godly results.

1490
01:18:16.199 --> 01:18:18.399
I think that's very well said. And like I say,

1491
01:18:18.399 --> 01:18:20.680
I think there's some incremental movements back in that direction.

1492
01:18:20.760 --> 01:18:22.880
But we're involved, we're involved in a real battle here.

1493
01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:25.640
The globalists have a tremendous amount of money, an organization

1494
01:18:26.079 --> 01:18:28.760
the modern climate movement gets all kinds of foreign funding

1495
01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:30.439
that's coming into this country to try to shut down

1496
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:32.680
our energy industry. Like I say, I think there's been

1497
01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:35.479
an awakening to it, but it's a real battle, and

1498
01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:37.600
I think prayer is in order, you know. I think

1499
01:18:37.640 --> 01:18:38.680
we're right in the thick of.

1500
01:18:38.680 --> 01:18:42.319
It, Amen, and the pursuit of truth, because that that

1501
01:18:42.680 --> 01:18:45.319
is what it's all balanced on. Just like you said,

1502
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:47.520
it's an either or choice. It's either a truth or

1503
01:18:47.560 --> 01:18:47.880
a lie.

1504
01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:48.359
Right.

1505
01:18:48.920 --> 01:18:51.399
Yeah, No, there's no there's no prayer areas, there's knowing between,

1506
01:18:51.479 --> 01:18:54.239
there's no ambiguity. But I'd like to think there's a

1507
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:56.079
real chance we're going to be swinging back closer to

1508
01:18:56.119 --> 01:18:58.600
what this country is founded to be, and I see

1509
01:18:58.600 --> 01:19:00.000
some hopeful signs that that's happening.

1510
01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:03.359
I'm with you. Kevin Mooney, thank you so much for

1511
01:19:03.399 --> 01:19:06.920
coming on. He's the author of climate Porn, the journalist

1512
01:19:07.520 --> 01:19:10.760
who is, like the rest of us, getting ready to

1513
01:19:10.800 --> 01:19:14.439
celebrate our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America's declaration

1514
01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:18.279
of independence. And may it be a period of time

1515
01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:22.399
where there is renewal and revival for the benefit of

1516
01:19:22.439 --> 01:19:23.039
all concerned.

1517
01:19:23.119 --> 01:19:27.000

1518
01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:29.960

of independence and what makes this country so special.

Hey, welcome back to America. Bill Martinez here along with

Jeff camp the speaker and Bible teacher and men Huddling

1599
01:23:51.319 --> 01:23:54.720
Ministry and all that good stuff. And you know, we

1600
01:23:54.840 --> 01:23:58.039
just always appreciate this time I get to have with you, Jeff,

1601
01:23:58.079 --> 01:23:59.119
so thank you for coming on.

1602
01:23:59.479 --> 01:24:00.439
Thank hey, Bill.

1603
01:24:00.479 --> 01:24:03.640
We have great conversations about the things that matter, you know,

1604
01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:04.600
the stuff and our.

1605
01:24:04.439 --> 01:24:07.680
Soul, right amen, Well, you know, and this is such

1606
01:24:07.720 --> 01:24:10.039
a great time to you know, speaking of our soul

1607
01:24:10.560 --> 01:24:14.560
in washing it and empty and out because because of lent.

1608
01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:17.760
You know what we do during the Lenten season in

1609
01:24:17.880 --> 01:24:21.800
terms of abstinence and discipline, and you know, giving of

1610
01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:25.479
alms and having this penance. This idea of penance, and

1611
01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:29.239
this idea also that has been recurring in my heart

1612
01:24:29.319 --> 01:24:33.880
over the last several weeks during this penitentiary season, has

1613
01:24:33.920 --> 01:24:37.600
been that Lord empty me, Lord fill me, Lord use me,

1614
01:24:38.439 --> 01:24:42.279
and this idea of being emptied. And you know, you

1615
01:24:42.319 --> 01:24:45.119
imagine it's just God comes in and just cleans you

1616
01:24:45.239 --> 01:24:49.319
out and gets all that stuff that gets in the

1617
01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:53.239
way of a true connection with Him, because we can't

1618
01:24:53.279 --> 01:24:57.680
connect with Him by holding on to any kind of worthless,

1619
01:24:57.880 --> 01:25:01.840
mortal aspects of our humanity, can we?

1620
01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:04.640
Well, if you think of ourselves as the temple of God,

1621
01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:09.199
which is what God explains to us, are I think

1622
01:25:09.239 --> 01:25:12.960
it's First Corinthians chapter six is don't you realize you

1623
01:25:13.039 --> 01:25:18.720
are the temple of God to dwell in? And it

1624
01:25:18.800 --> 01:25:23.239
says that you were bought with a price, and so

1625
01:25:24.199 --> 01:25:25.399
give your life to him.

1626
01:25:25.760 --> 01:25:27.439
He owns you right.

1627
01:25:27.680 --> 01:25:32.880
Well, if this temple is filled up with a bunch

1628
01:25:32.920 --> 01:25:37.039
of cardboard boxes and a bunch of old magazines, and

1629
01:25:37.960 --> 01:25:41.239
a bunch of broken treadmills that I had years ago

1630
01:25:41.279 --> 01:25:44.680
that don't work anymore, and you know, boxes of cereal

1631
01:25:44.720 --> 01:25:49.920
that are twenty years old, and a bunch of old TVs.

1632
01:25:49.520 --> 01:25:50.560
And a bunch of junk.

1633
01:25:51.159 --> 01:25:54.880
Yes, and this thing is filled up with a bunch

1634
01:25:54.920 --> 01:25:59.439
of stuff that isn't pointing to God and listening to God,

1635
01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:05.199
then this temple won't be fueled and controlled by God's

1636
01:26:05.239 --> 01:26:08.199
holy Spirit like he'd like to. So, I mean, that's

1637
01:26:08.199 --> 01:26:12.359
what confession is. That's what repentance is. Turned from the

1638
01:26:12.399 --> 01:26:15.199
way you were going, I'm in charge. I'm gonna do

1639
01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:17.039
it my way. Oh God, Yeah, help me a little

1640
01:26:17.039 --> 01:26:20.960
bit here, cover from me here, God, But I'm telling charge,

1641
01:26:21.560 --> 01:26:25.000
that's what repentance and confession are all about.

1642
01:26:25.039 --> 01:26:25.720
And then fasting.

1643
01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:29.439
You mentioned fasting and denying yourself something for a while,

1644
01:26:30.600 --> 01:26:32.720
but ultimately what you're doing is saying I want to

1645
01:26:33.159 --> 01:26:37.359
open up and empty this temple so God's spirit can

1646
01:26:37.439 --> 01:26:39.520
have one hundred percent of the space in there. And

1647
01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:43.079
the good thing is God doesn't judge us and a

1648
01:26:43.199 --> 01:26:45.520
frown or smile based on how well we do this.

1649
01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:49.039
He's already given us credit for christ righteousness. He's just like,

1650
01:26:49.079 --> 01:26:51.479
will you please receive all the gifts I've given you?

1651
01:26:51.520 --> 01:26:54.399
Will you please receive Jesus dwelling in you, which is

1652
01:26:54.439 --> 01:26:57.039
much better than just a bunch of carnal Jeff stuff.

1653
01:26:58.000 --> 01:26:59.960
So I think that's what you keep bring us back

1654
01:27:00.119 --> 01:27:04.720
to bill It and lents. Just emptying yourself of excessive

1655
01:27:04.800 --> 01:27:12.880
earthly demands, excessive earthly controls, excessive earthly worries, any goals

1656
01:27:13.000 --> 01:27:15.880
higher than God, any content that's not as pure and

1657
01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:18.720
good as what you find in the Bible. And then

1658
01:27:18.760 --> 01:27:21.960
there's room for God to fill us, and then we

1659
01:27:21.960 --> 01:27:24.359
can be those temples of God's Holy spirit.

1660
01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:27.159
Yeah, then he can use us, you know, so empty me,

1661
01:27:27.560 --> 01:27:32.000
fill me, use me. And and the things that like

1662
01:27:32.039 --> 01:27:34.800
you're talking about here, Jeff, is the things of this

1663
01:27:34.880 --> 01:27:37.479
world will perish. I mean they're not going to go

1664
01:27:37.520 --> 01:27:40.680
with us. I mean when it's over, you know, like

1665
01:27:40.720 --> 01:27:44.079
they say, nobody has a U haul behind the hearst right,

1666
01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:50.920
and so it's it's a situation you you. This is

1667
01:27:50.920 --> 01:27:53.880
what I love about lent because it causes you to

1668
01:27:54.079 --> 01:27:58.239
think on those noble and righteous things and how you're aligning,

1669
01:27:58.560 --> 01:28:02.319
you know, as uh pastor said here recently, and I

1670
01:28:02.359 --> 01:28:08.199
love this idea, says, well, you you have Jesus, you

1671
01:28:08.239 --> 01:28:13.640
get Jesus, but what after Jesus. And I thought about that,

1672
01:28:13.680 --> 01:28:16.319
I go, that's an excellent point because when you read

1673
01:28:16.399 --> 01:28:18.359
the Bible, you always see these people who would come

1674
01:28:18.359 --> 01:28:20.479
to Jesus, and you know, some of them would say, hey,

1675
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:22.079
I still I want to be in your ministry. I

1676
01:28:22.079 --> 01:28:24.880
want to follow you. And he'd say, no, go go back,

1677
01:28:24.920 --> 01:28:26.640
and you know, go to your people and tell them

1678
01:28:26.640 --> 01:28:29.880
how good God has been been with you. But but

1679
01:28:29.960 --> 01:28:32.319
he'd also say, and whenever he did, like the woman

1680
01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:34.760
who was caught in adultery, he says, who's here to,

1681
01:28:36.319 --> 01:28:36.600
you know.

1682
01:28:36.640 --> 01:28:39.479
To convict you? Who condemned you?

1683
01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:44.079
Right? And nobody? Okay, well, by the way, just you

1684
01:28:44.119 --> 01:28:46.279
know I'm not I'm not going to condemn you either,

1685
01:28:46.800 --> 01:28:49.600
but stop sinning. Okay, let's no more of this sin stuff.

1686
01:28:49.760 --> 01:28:54.000
So you can't do that in and of yourself without Jesus.

1687
01:28:54.760 --> 01:29:00.800
So after after Jesus, then it's with Jesus. Like in

1688
01:29:00.800 --> 01:29:03.600
the Book of John talks about you know, Jesus being

1689
01:29:03.960 --> 01:29:06.960
the vine, and we're the branches. And he calls us

1690
01:29:07.000 --> 01:29:09.600
to abide in him, And why do we want to

1691
01:29:09.720 --> 01:29:12.840
abide in him? So not only that we bear good fruit,

1692
01:29:12.880 --> 01:29:14.600
but those things that are in our heart, to do

1693
01:29:14.760 --> 01:29:16.720
the things that Paul says, the things I want to do,

1694
01:29:16.760 --> 01:29:18.720
I don't, the things I don't I do, you know,

1695
01:29:19.000 --> 01:29:21.119
but we want to be try and be consistent, and

1696
01:29:21.159 --> 01:29:24.640
you can't do it without abiding and staying connected with Jesus.

1697
01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:26.520
That's the after part, right.

1698
01:29:27.279 --> 01:29:29.199
Yeah.

1699
01:29:28.199 --> 01:29:33.800
The attitude of humility reminds you that all good gifts

1700
01:29:33.840 --> 01:29:38.399
come from God. And as Jesus said, only God is good,

1701
01:29:38.479 --> 01:29:41.960
none of us humans are right. And he said in

1702
01:29:42.039 --> 01:29:45.359
that passage, well, I mean it was quoted in the

1703
01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:46.000
Book of John.

1704
01:29:46.960 --> 01:29:48.840
I'm the vine. You're the branches.

1705
01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:51.560
If you abide me, if you focus on me, if

1706
01:29:51.560 --> 01:29:53.560
you dwell on me, if you depend on me, and

1707
01:29:53.960 --> 01:29:57.560
if you connect to me in dialogue all the time

1708
01:29:57.960 --> 01:30:00.319
you want to receive your life and God it is

1709
01:30:00.319 --> 01:30:07.119
from me, then you'll bear much fruit, which means love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness,

1710
01:30:07.520 --> 01:30:09.600
and whatever you do, you'll do with excellences and you'll

1711
01:30:09.720 --> 01:30:11.920
glorify God with it instead of yourself, so it won't

1712
01:30:11.920 --> 01:30:14.199
mess you up because pride won't come and corrupt it.

1713
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:17.439
Then it says, he said, but apart from me, you

1714
01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:20.079
can do.

1715
01:30:18.960 --> 01:30:20.079
Nothing, nothing.

1716
01:30:21.600 --> 01:30:25.119
That lasts, nothing that works, nothing that unites people, nothing

1717
01:30:25.159 --> 01:30:28.560
that glorifies God, nothing that goes with you into heaven

1718
01:30:28.920 --> 01:30:33.880
right into eternity. So this accurate view that I really

1719
01:30:33.880 --> 01:30:38.399
can't do anything without God that counts.

1720
01:30:38.640 --> 01:30:41.000
And Paul said, I can handle all things.

1721
01:30:41.399 --> 01:30:43.399
I can do all things that are cam called to

1722
01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:46.119
do through Christ, who gives me strength. So that needs

1723
01:30:46.159 --> 01:30:48.600
to be our starting point. I think your appreciation for

1724
01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:52.399
lent Bill is such that first I need to realize

1725
01:30:52.479 --> 01:30:56.119
I cannot do it on my own. Receiving Jesus once

1726
01:30:56.920 --> 01:30:59.960
back in church when I was thirteen or two weeks ago,

1727
01:31:00.000 --> 01:31:03.119
when I went to church and said, confession or isn't enough.

1728
01:31:04.760 --> 01:31:09.079
It's not even exciting to only have one experience with Jesus.

1729
01:31:09.319 --> 01:31:12.239
It's best to have Him guiding your experience the rest

1730
01:31:12.239 --> 01:31:15.479
of your life, which is what confession.

1731
01:31:15.079 --> 01:31:16.680
And repentance and dependence.

1732
01:31:17.279 --> 01:31:19.560
This attitude that I can't do it apart from you.

1733
01:31:20.600 --> 01:31:22.239
I heard a great quote. I was in a ment retreat.

1734
01:31:22.359 --> 01:31:25.760
We can have to go and a guy quoted his

1735
01:31:25.840 --> 01:31:30.239
friend and mentor who said I can't do it. God

1736
01:31:30.319 --> 01:31:34.079
never said I can. God can do it, and he

1737
01:31:34.159 --> 01:31:36.880
always said he would. So let's just start right there.

1738
01:31:36.920 --> 01:31:39.960
I can't do it, he never said I could, so

1739
01:31:40.000 --> 01:31:42.840
don't be surprised. But God can do it, and he

1740
01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:44.840
always said he would. So why don't I just connect

1741
01:31:44.880 --> 01:31:47.359
to him, ask him, depend on him, and try to

1742
01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:50.720
live in that twenty four to seven relationship of dependence

1743
01:31:50.760 --> 01:31:53.720
with God, which I think we'd have less.

1744
01:31:53.560 --> 01:31:57.039
To repent over if.

1745
01:31:56.359 --> 01:31:58.960
In all the other months and days of the year

1746
01:31:59.319 --> 01:32:02.399
we had been waiting and listening like Jesus did. He said,

1747
01:32:02.880 --> 01:32:05.399
I say and do nothing apart from my father. I

1748
01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:08.479
cannot take any action apart from my father. I always

1749
01:32:08.479 --> 01:32:11.880
do the father's work. That's the same for us, because

1750
01:32:11.960 --> 01:32:15.479
Christ earned that relationship of father daughter of father's son

1751
01:32:16.199 --> 01:32:20.560
with God. For us, if we've received Christ in his forgiveness,

1752
01:32:20.680 --> 01:32:23.079
I think that's exciting. We get to start listening to

1753
01:32:23.119 --> 01:32:25.600
God and he can guide us well.

1754
01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:29.039
And this is what disciples do. Disciples follow the leader.

1755
01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:33.880
Jesus gave us every example time and time again. And

1756
01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:36.119
I remember the first time I heard that Jeff, that

1757
01:32:36.439 --> 01:32:40.800
I only do what I see my father doing. I thought, wow,

1758
01:32:41.359 --> 01:32:46.079
I mean think about that, and it causes me pause

1759
01:32:46.199 --> 01:32:49.359
because I know there are times that I want to

1760
01:32:49.399 --> 01:32:51.520
go ahead and do it my way, and then I've

1761
01:32:51.520 --> 01:32:53.920
got it mess to clean up afterwards, and then I'm

1762
01:32:53.920 --> 01:32:55.319
asking God, Oh God, help me.

1763
01:32:57.039 --> 01:32:59.960
Let's practically think right now. There's some married people out there.

1764
01:33:00.640 --> 01:33:03.319
You sometimes have your spouse say a snarky thing to

1765
01:33:03.399 --> 01:33:05.920
you or a thing you don't like, and oftentimes we

1766
01:33:06.079 --> 01:33:09.560
respond with a snarky comment. What if we are listening

1767
01:33:09.640 --> 01:33:11.720
to God, I'm only going to say the things that

1768
01:33:11.800 --> 01:33:14.640
the Father tells me to say. There's no way that

1769
01:33:14.680 --> 01:33:16.479
I'm going to come back with a snarky comment. I'm

1770
01:33:16.479 --> 01:33:21.600
going to return love for just disappointment or frustration or criticism.

1771
01:33:22.239 --> 01:33:25.239
There's so many things in real time that we would

1772
01:33:25.319 --> 01:33:29.640
change if you're just listening to the Father. So how

1773
01:33:29.640 --> 01:33:31.199
about the content you look at when you wake up

1774
01:33:31.239 --> 01:33:34.800
in the morning, is the Father telling you Open up

1775
01:33:35.079 --> 01:33:39.560
your quote smartphone and flip to social media and start

1776
01:33:39.600 --> 01:33:42.119
looking at people criticizing each other on other sides of

1777
01:33:42.159 --> 01:33:46.199
the aisle, and look at some vacations of super rich people.

1778
01:33:45.960 --> 01:33:47.840
And think, I wish I had that, And then look

1779
01:33:47.840 --> 01:33:48.159
at some.

1780
01:33:48.119 --> 01:33:50.920
People wearing bikinis and clothing that isn't going to make

1781
01:33:50.960 --> 01:33:52.000
you think about your spouse.

1782
01:33:52.439 --> 01:33:53.760
No, he's not going to tell you to that.

1783
01:33:53.880 --> 01:33:57.279
He's a going to say, leave that phone alone, fall

1784
01:33:57.359 --> 01:33:59.960
on your knees, thank me for life, open up my box,

1785
01:34:00.319 --> 01:34:01.760
and I'll tell you how much I love you and

1786
01:34:01.760 --> 01:34:03.199
what I've done for you. And I'll give you some

1787
01:34:03.239 --> 01:34:06.520
guidance today to put others interests ahead of yourself and

1788
01:34:06.520 --> 01:34:07.880
not just look out for yourself.

1789
01:34:08.239 --> 01:34:10.159
And I'm going to show you how to reconcile and

1790
01:34:10.199 --> 01:34:11.680
help bring your family back together.

1791
01:34:11.720 --> 01:34:14.479
And I'm going to show you how to do work excellent,

1792
01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:17.560
but do it to serve me instead of just your boss.

1793
01:34:17.720 --> 01:34:21.119
And then out with the glory. God's going to tell

1794
01:34:21.199 --> 01:34:24.359
us to do the Jesus thing right, tell us to

1795
01:34:24.399 --> 01:34:25.720
do the worldly thing.

1796
01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:28.399
But we got to be listening, and that means connect

1797
01:34:28.399 --> 01:34:31.000
to him the first minute you wake up and then

1798
01:34:31.039 --> 01:34:33.000
be listening to his dialogue all day long.

1799
01:34:33.479 --> 01:34:36.800
Exactly, praying without ceasing, which is just a communion. We're

1800
01:34:36.800 --> 01:34:39.399
communing with God. You know, He's just he wants us

1801
01:34:39.600 --> 01:34:42.960
to be connected with him. That's that's the bottom line. Jeff,

1802
01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:44.239
How can people huddle up with you.

1803
01:34:44.920 --> 01:34:48.319

01:39:10.199 --> 01:39:11.079
Mister Glenn, how.

1883
01:39:10.960 --> 01:39:12.640
You doing, Bill doing wonderful?

1884
01:39:12.680 --> 01:39:15.439
Thank you, Hey, great to have you here. Talk about

1885
01:39:15.720 --> 01:39:19.439
one of our favorite topics, Lord, have mercy. Sometimes you

1886
01:39:19.439 --> 01:39:22.439
want to put body armor when we talk about you know,

1887
01:39:22.520 --> 01:39:25.600
a counselor's tip for wedded financial bliss.

1888
01:39:25.680 --> 01:39:30.560
Huh, Absolutely, bliss is important, especially in that area.

1889
01:39:30.960 --> 01:39:33.560
Yeah, that's that's the objective here is what we're talking

1890
01:39:33.560 --> 01:39:36.199
about here. So we're going to go where you know,

1891
01:39:36.279 --> 01:39:40.359
some might dare to stay away, but not us, because

1892
01:39:40.840 --> 01:39:43.039
look at we see a problem and we want to.

1893
01:39:43.000 --> 01:39:46.680
Get through it right right absolutely, And as you.

1894
01:39:46.640 --> 01:39:49.279
Say, financial problems may not be the top reason couples

1895
01:39:49.319 --> 01:39:53.520
get divorced, but finances do contribute to stress and arguments

1896
01:39:53.560 --> 01:39:55.000
in most marriages.

1897
01:39:54.600 --> 01:39:59.159
Right absolutely, and learning how to navigate those constructively, I

1898
01:39:59.159 --> 01:40:01.680
think really has put a couple on a great, great

1899
01:40:01.720 --> 01:40:02.560
pathway forward.

1900
01:40:03.279 --> 01:40:04.960
Uh you know, and you and I have talked about

1901
01:40:04.960 --> 01:40:09.159
this before. A lot about marriage is I guess you know,

1902
01:40:09.199 --> 01:40:11.159
and call it you can call it rules of engagement.

1903
01:40:11.239 --> 01:40:13.960
Huh yeah, really got to work. We got to work

1904
01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:17.239
this out beforehand. It's tough to kind of work out

1905
01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:20.239
a plan when you're in the middle of being a

1906
01:40:20.279 --> 01:40:21.199
little irritated.

1907
01:40:21.279 --> 01:40:24.520
Right if we go way back before a couple is

1908
01:40:24.560 --> 01:40:27.640
even married, one of the things that I encourage pastors

1909
01:40:27.680 --> 01:40:31.000
and counselors to do is to encourage a couple. Okay,

1910
01:40:31.039 --> 01:40:33.760
next week, I'd like you to bring your credit report

1911
01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:36.159
with you so we can take a look at what

1912
01:40:37.000 --> 01:40:39.199
debts you have. I mean, and because that's the kind

1913
01:40:39.199 --> 01:40:41.600
of thing that you know, a guy or a girl

1914
01:40:41.680 --> 01:40:44.520
is not going to want to ask the other person.

1915
01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:47.439
It feels a bit invasive. But if somebody who's meeting

1916
01:40:47.479 --> 01:40:49.920
with them asks them, I think it becomes a whole

1917
01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:50.760
lot easier to do.

1918
01:40:52.159 --> 01:40:54.079
Well, that's got to be, well, a whole lot easier.

1919
01:40:54.119 --> 01:40:57.479
But still it's a challenge because you know, sometimes what's

1920
01:40:57.479 --> 01:41:02.640
hard to be transparent and they're just something about finances

1921
01:41:02.680 --> 01:41:06.000
that people are very protective about, especially when you've always

1922
01:41:06.039 --> 01:41:06.920
had it your way.

1923
01:41:06.840 --> 01:41:09.720
Right yeah, yeah, no, And you know when people have

1924
01:41:10.439 --> 01:41:12.800
grown up in a home where money has been dealt

1925
01:41:12.840 --> 01:41:15.399
with a particular way. I mean, we've all heard of

1926
01:41:15.720 --> 01:41:18.520
individuals whose parents, let's say, grew up in the Depression

1927
01:41:18.880 --> 01:41:21.720
Great Depression, and that can factor into how they approach

1928
01:41:22.359 --> 01:41:27.880
money together and individually, and so really navigating that well

1929
01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:29.199
is really a key component.

1930
01:41:29.640 --> 01:41:31.880
Well, Glenn, Before you get to that where you bring

1931
01:41:31.920 --> 01:41:34.479
in statements and bank books and all that kind of stuff,

1932
01:41:34.760 --> 01:41:37.520
do you first try to lay out a foundation and say, hey,

1933
01:41:38.399 --> 01:41:40.760
let's just say you two are coming together here, what

1934
01:41:40.760 --> 01:41:44.119
would be the ideal, what would be the best way

1935
01:41:44.159 --> 01:41:47.680
to handle your finances and kind of draw some information

1936
01:41:47.840 --> 01:41:49.760
out of there, so that you kind of have a

1937
01:41:49.760 --> 01:41:52.680
little bit of understanding of the field to play in

1938
01:41:52.760 --> 01:41:56.079
terms of what they have in terms of, you know,

1939
01:41:56.119 --> 01:41:59.079
an idea and a mission and a goal. Is that fair?

1940
01:41:59.680 --> 01:42:00.000
Yeah?

1941
01:42:00.079 --> 01:42:03.000
And I'd say even before there's conversation about it, their

1942
01:42:03.079 --> 01:42:06.279
open eyes, so you're looking at how the other person

1943
01:42:06.359 --> 01:42:10.239
deals with finances. Do they have the best most expensive

1944
01:42:10.279 --> 01:42:13.319
car in the world or not. I laugh a little

1945
01:42:13.359 --> 01:42:16.119
bit because when I was a single man, I had

1946
01:42:16.159 --> 01:42:19.880
an AMC Pacer and my wife, Now this was before

1947
01:42:19.920 --> 01:42:22.560
I met her, so I didn't have the pacer at

1948
01:42:22.560 --> 01:42:26.680
the time, but she was driving a BMW, So we

1949
01:42:26.800 --> 01:42:29.039
kind of kid each other that probably at that time

1950
01:42:29.119 --> 01:42:32.920
we probably would not have clicked per se, but just

1951
01:42:33.079 --> 01:42:36.439
observing each other is an important component. But then I

1952
01:42:36.479 --> 01:42:39.199
think as a couple is dating, as they're getting to

1953
01:42:39.239 --> 01:42:42.239
know each other, there can be conversations. It may be

1954
01:42:42.399 --> 01:42:43.880
you know, what are some of the things that you

1955
01:42:44.000 --> 01:42:48.479
gleaned from your your parents growing up that you really

1956
01:42:48.840 --> 01:42:52.560
appreciate and want to wanta foster moving forward, and what

1957
01:42:52.640 --> 01:42:55.920
might be some things that you don't, And sometimes finances

1958
01:42:55.960 --> 01:42:59.640
can be part of that conversation, either just organically or

1959
01:42:59.720 --> 01:43:02.800
even just ask more specifically, have you had.

1960
01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:06.479
A situation as a marriage and family therapist when you

1961
01:43:06.560 --> 01:43:09.399
talk about money where you know one of them just says, hey,

1962
01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:10.960
I'm out of here, I can't handle it.

1963
01:43:11.840 --> 01:43:14.119
I've never had that where they've just said, you know,

1964
01:43:14.199 --> 01:43:17.760
the relationship is over. But I certainly have seen where

1965
01:43:17.800 --> 01:43:21.199
people are more hesitant to want to talk about it.

1966
01:43:21.239 --> 01:43:23.239
They kind of want to do their own thing. That's

1967
01:43:23.319 --> 01:43:27.319
usually with the person who's more inclined to spend, not

1968
01:43:27.640 --> 01:43:30.239
the person who's more inclined to save. Because the saver

1969
01:43:30.439 --> 01:43:34.079
really wants to have that conversation, they wanted to be discussed,

1970
01:43:34.079 --> 01:43:37.840
but the spender kind of would rather kind of deal

1971
01:43:37.880 --> 01:43:39.880
with it on their own, their own impulse.

1972
01:43:40.560 --> 01:43:44.399
And how do you find that wedded financial blissful sweet

1973
01:43:44.439 --> 01:43:48.920
spot between the two of these dynamic you know ideas.

1974
01:43:49.159 --> 01:43:52.079
I would say, yeah, I would say conversation, setting aside,

1975
01:43:52.119 --> 01:43:56.760
maybe a monthly time to discuss it. You know, have

1976
01:43:57.000 --> 01:44:01.560
a what we would call a spend plan. Take away

1977
01:44:01.600 --> 01:44:05.359
that nasty term the budget. Let's call it a spending

1978
01:44:05.359 --> 01:44:07.880
plan where people, especially the one who's more inclined to

1979
01:44:07.920 --> 01:44:11.079
want to spend, is more on board with that. They're

1980
01:44:11.119 --> 01:44:14.439
on the same page. So having maybe that monthly meeting

1981
01:44:14.479 --> 01:44:16.600
to talk about, Okay, where are we you know, are

1982
01:44:16.640 --> 01:44:18.880
there any unexpected bills that have come in? Do we

1983
01:44:18.920 --> 01:44:22.720
need to make any juggling with regards to the spending

1984
01:44:22.760 --> 01:44:25.239
plan to be able to cover the costs? Are there

1985
01:44:25.279 --> 01:44:28.680
any goals that we have and working towards them? How

1986
01:44:28.760 --> 01:44:31.000
is that coming? So it can be I think a

1987
01:44:31.079 --> 01:44:36.319
constructive meeting. I often encourage parents, if they have children,

1988
01:44:37.319 --> 01:44:39.840
to you know, let their kids know, Hey, we're going

1989
01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:43.560
to spend some time and we're going to be talking together.

1990
01:44:43.680 --> 01:44:46.840
Kids probably know what it's in reference to, or maybe

1991
01:44:46.880 --> 01:44:49.479
hear something about the fact that we're going to be

1992
01:44:49.520 --> 01:44:53.279
talking about finances. But then to make sure that when

1993
01:44:53.319 --> 01:44:57.119
the parents are talking it's not raised voices, because if

1994
01:44:57.960 --> 01:44:59.760
you know, kids know, okay, mom and dad are gonna

1995
01:44:59.760 --> 01:45:02.960
be talking about finances and now the voices are raised,

1996
01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:05.640
that's probably not going to be the best model for

1997
01:45:05.760 --> 01:45:07.960
the kids moving forward in their own lives.

1998
01:45:08.319 --> 01:45:10.520
Yeah, you say, one of the big pitfalls is a

1999
01:45:10.600 --> 01:45:13.880
lack of planning, Right, so you know, you've got to

2000
01:45:13.960 --> 01:45:17.880
lay out, like I said, rules of engagement. Maybe you

2001
01:45:17.920 --> 01:45:20.960
know a plan that you're working and then that way

2002
01:45:21.000 --> 01:45:23.800
you can measure it against this plan. You know, are

2003
01:45:23.800 --> 01:45:26.079
we overspending? Are we on track?

2004
01:45:26.600 --> 01:45:26.800
You know?

2005
01:45:27.039 --> 01:45:29.359
High five? We can all feel good. You know, let's

2006
01:45:29.399 --> 01:45:30.640
take the kids out for ice cream?

2007
01:45:30.720 --> 01:45:31.800
Right right? Yeah.

2008
01:45:31.840 --> 01:45:34.920
That affirmation when we're able to make a goal, I

2009
01:45:34.960 --> 01:45:38.000
think is really crucial because sometimes you know, when there's

2010
01:45:38.079 --> 01:45:41.119
conversation about Okay, what do we spend our money on

2011
01:45:41.800 --> 01:45:45.279
and ultimately realizing that ultimately it's the lord's money, we're

2012
01:45:45.319 --> 01:45:48.600
stewards of it, and so coming together. I think one

2013
01:45:48.640 --> 01:45:51.840
of the important elements of when that meeting takes place,

2014
01:45:51.880 --> 01:45:56.920
as far as let's say, putting out or developing that

2015
01:45:57.079 --> 01:46:01.399
spending plan, is for each person to talk about why

2016
01:46:01.600 --> 01:46:04.920
it's important. Give you an example. Let's say, for instance,

2017
01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:07.399
one person grew up in a home where most of

2018
01:46:07.439 --> 01:46:10.359
the year mom and dad were busy, but vacation time

2019
01:46:10.960 --> 01:46:13.760
kids had mom and dad's attention. Maybe there were certain things.

2020
01:46:13.800 --> 01:46:16.560
Maybe they went to a certain location all the time

2021
01:46:16.960 --> 01:46:20.760
and just really found a sense of connection, a sense

2022
01:46:20.760 --> 01:46:23.960
of belonging, a sense of value from mom and dad

2023
01:46:24.000 --> 01:46:27.399
because now their attention is there. If they're only talking about, Okay,

2024
01:46:27.479 --> 01:46:30.279
let's set aside some money for vacation, but they're not

2025
01:46:30.359 --> 01:46:33.720
talking about their feelings, why it matters, why it's important.

2026
01:46:34.079 --> 01:46:37.000
It's going to miss that very important thing. So maybe

2027
01:46:37.000 --> 01:46:39.279
there's not a lot of money for a big vacation,

2028
01:46:40.000 --> 01:46:42.800
but when one spouse hears how important it was to

2029
01:46:42.880 --> 01:46:46.560
the other growing up, it becomes hey, I want you

2030
01:46:46.640 --> 01:46:50.199
to experience that again, as far as that emotion, that feeling.

2031
01:46:50.399 --> 01:46:51.800
So even though we may not have a lot of

2032
01:46:51.840 --> 01:46:54.159
money to spend on that, let's set aside some money

2033
01:46:54.159 --> 01:46:55.039
to make that happen.

2034
01:46:55.640 --> 01:46:58.319
You know, God always brings, it seems opposites, you know,

2035
01:46:58.359 --> 01:47:01.840
we always hear opposites attract right for balance. So as

2036
01:47:01.880 --> 01:47:04.399
you say you're going to have one of you is

2037
01:47:04.439 --> 01:47:05.920
going to be a saving nerd, the other is going

2038
01:47:06.000 --> 01:47:09.039
to be a spender. And so how do you manage

2039
01:47:09.039 --> 01:47:12.279
those dynamic tensions in such a way to where you're

2040
01:47:12.359 --> 01:47:18.039
serving one another, because you know, otherwise the saving nerd,

2041
01:47:18.119 --> 01:47:22.880
if they're not you know, getting some of their need answered,

2042
01:47:23.319 --> 01:47:26.359
they're going to get frustrated and angry and then you

2043
01:47:26.439 --> 01:47:29.359
got other problems. And conversely, the spender the same way.

2044
01:47:29.479 --> 01:47:31.720
So how do you find that middle ground?

2045
01:47:31.720 --> 01:47:36.760
Glenn, I think an important aspect is to think out loud,

2046
01:47:36.840 --> 01:47:39.880
in one sense, And what I mean by that is

2047
01:47:40.239 --> 01:47:42.960
it's very easy for couples to have. As you mentioned,

2048
01:47:42.960 --> 01:47:45.800
and I totally agree that opposites do tend to attract.

2049
01:47:46.640 --> 01:47:49.760
Each person's coming from their vantage point, and so they

2050
01:47:49.800 --> 01:47:51.840
have their arguments. It's almost like they're in a court

2051
01:47:51.880 --> 01:47:55.119
of law and they're they're putting forward the best reasons

2052
01:47:55.119 --> 01:47:57.560
why we need to save X amount of dollars or

2053
01:47:57.560 --> 01:48:00.000
why we need to spend X amount of dollars on something.

2054
01:48:00.439 --> 01:48:03.479
But if instead they're thinking out loud, so the saverer

2055
01:48:04.039 --> 01:48:07.880
may be talking about why it could be helpful to

2056
01:48:07.920 --> 01:48:10.880
spend money in this area, and also why it could

2057
01:48:10.960 --> 01:48:14.880
be helpful to save money in this area. So they're

2058
01:48:14.920 --> 01:48:17.960
not polarizing. They're not each digging in their own heels

2059
01:48:18.000 --> 01:48:21.279
trying to get their way. They're really listening to the

2060
01:48:21.359 --> 01:48:24.319
other person, and each one is trying to be as

2061
01:48:24.359 --> 01:48:27.760
balanced as they can, because otherwise what will often happen

2062
01:48:27.840 --> 01:48:30.760
is that tendency to polarize. So the more one person

2063
01:48:30.840 --> 01:48:33.119
becomes a saverer, the more the other person wants to

2064
01:48:33.399 --> 01:48:36.079
counterbalance that and become more of a spender. The more

2065
01:48:36.079 --> 01:48:37.760
they do that, the other one wants to become even

2066
01:48:37.800 --> 01:48:41.079
more of a saver, So you get that divide that

2067
01:48:41.079 --> 01:48:43.079
can happen, and that can create a lot of tension.

2068
01:48:43.600 --> 01:48:46.640
What about those couples that say, well, we answered the problem,

2069
01:48:46.680 --> 01:48:47.880
we just have separate accounts.

2070
01:48:48.279 --> 01:48:51.800
Yeah, well, there are times, and I've seen it in

2071
01:48:51.800 --> 01:48:54.880
my own private practice, where people in a sense have

2072
01:48:54.960 --> 01:48:58.880
an easier time deciding that. But the question is do

2073
01:48:58.960 --> 01:49:00.560
you want to be roommates? Do you want to be

2074
01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:03.720
a couple that's married? And you can be roommates by

2075
01:49:03.840 --> 01:49:06.680
just kind of dividing things out, But it's really not

2076
01:49:06.840 --> 01:49:10.119
what God intended marriage to be. God intended marriage to

2077
01:49:10.199 --> 01:49:14.319
be that sense of oneness. Malachi two point fifteen says,

2078
01:49:14.359 --> 01:49:17.359
has not the Lord made them one in flesh and spirit.

2079
01:49:17.720 --> 01:49:21.000
They are His, so that oneness and it can create

2080
01:49:21.000 --> 01:49:23.319
a little bit more of a challenge. But when you

2081
01:49:23.439 --> 01:49:26.279
do that, when the mountain is hired to climb, the

2082
01:49:26.399 --> 01:49:28.560
joy and the delight is stronger.

2083
01:49:29.159 --> 01:49:33.560
Yeah, I hear you. What about teaching our kids about finances?

2084
01:49:33.840 --> 01:49:35.720
We touched on that just a moment ago. What do

2085
01:49:35.720 --> 01:49:37.199
you recommend We got about a minute.

2086
01:49:37.039 --> 01:49:40.720
Left, Okay, I would say have three three jars when

2087
01:49:40.800 --> 01:49:45.159
kids are really young, have three jars one I'll rename it. It

2088
01:49:45.159 --> 01:49:47.880
usually is meant as giving, but I'll do it as

2089
01:49:47.920 --> 01:49:51.079
an s serving. So when the money that I'm going

2090
01:49:51.119 --> 01:49:54.479
to serve, I'm going to sacrifice, what's money I want

2091
01:49:54.520 --> 01:49:57.079
to spend, What's money I want to save? And when

2092
01:49:57.079 --> 01:49:59.520
they can put it in each of those three jars

2093
01:50:00.039 --> 01:50:04.960
and then pursue use it in that constructive way, I

2094
01:50:04.960 --> 01:50:07.840
think it sends Again it's a goal that a child

2095
01:50:07.920 --> 01:50:10.720
is able to see and if they see their parents

2096
01:50:11.039 --> 01:50:15.000
living within their means, that becomes an extremely important message

2097
01:50:15.000 --> 01:50:15.479
to model.

2098
01:50:16.079 --> 01:50:17.399
I love that. That's a great idea.

2099
01:50:17.520 --> 01:50:18.640
Three jars.

2100
01:50:18.720 --> 01:50:22.239
You know that they can separate and you know, and

2101
01:50:22.319 --> 01:50:26.439
cover these important areas of our faith and along the way,

2102
01:50:26.600 --> 01:50:30.079
you know, learn some financial discipline. It's a great idea, Glenn. Well,

2103
01:50:30.079 --> 01:50:31.760
how can the people be in touch with you? Glenn?
