with the American Minute creator, the one and only Bill Fetter. Hey, Bill,

8
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:21.920
how are you doing, buddy?

9
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:23.120
Oh it's crazy be with you. Bill.

10
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.160
Well, Happy holding week to you. What a great week.

11
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.640
I mean, I love this this time of year because

12
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.880
you know, spiritually, you know this, This just means so

13
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.399
much to me. Bill, You know, this time to see

14
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:38.280
this time of year.

15
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:44.240
Yeah, yeah, Well, it is coming up on Christianity is

16
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.320
the largest religion in the world around thirty three percent.

17
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.640
And since Easter is the most important day to Christians,

18
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.880
Easter could be the most important day in the world

19
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.479
right to the most amount of people, right exactly, And

20
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.840
I am thrilled.

21
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.480
Coming up on Palm Sunday.

22
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.560
I do a weekly video for Turning Point Education, and

23
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.120
the one we did for this coming week, I go

24
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:16.959
through the seven feasts of Israel, and so in Leviticus,

25
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:23.640
God gives the Israelites seven feasts and their year is agricultural,

26
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.799
and so the first three are in the spring feast,

27
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.560
to Passover on leaven, bread and first fruits. Fifty days later,

28
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.599
it's a fiast of Pentecost, end of the summer harvest

29
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.480
is the feast of Trumpets David Towman, and the feast

30
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.799
of Tabernacles. But if we zero in on the first three,

31
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:49.040
Passover is where the children of Israel sacrifice. The Lamb

32
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.920
put the blood over the doorposts of our house so

33
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.599
the angel of death would pass over. So the pedh

34
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.879
was ordering the Israelites to throw their sons in the

35
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.120
Nile river, and God said, okay, I'm going to do

36
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.319
to you what you were doing to the Israelites, and

37
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.039
so would kill the firstborn. And so if the blood

38
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.879
is over the door, this symbolism is that the Lamb

39
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.879
took the judgment instead of the people in the house

40
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.439
taking the judgment. And obviously that is foreshadowing Jesus. So

41
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:27.479
interestingly enough, the Hebrew day starts at sunset and goes

42
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.840
to the next sunset. So when Jesus thirty three AD

43
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.159
celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples after the sun

44
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.879
had set, and it was that night that he was

45
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.840
in the garden of Kyosemite, and sweat and drops of

46
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:48.280
blood and then you know, arrested and taken before you

47
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.439
know the Sanhedrin, and then before Herod and Pilot, and

48
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:53.159
then crucified.

49
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:53.800
But he was.

50
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.439
Crucified the next day, probably around nine o'clock. And so

51
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.199
he was actually crucified on the same Hebrew day as Passover.

52
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.199
So here he's the Passover lamp sacrifice on Passover. And

53
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.039
then in the Jewish calendar, the next day is the

54
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:11.080
feast of unloven bread.

55
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.639
Levin is symbolic of sin.

56
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.800
It's yeast, and the Jews would get all the yeast

57
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.360
out of their house, and that was the day that

58
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.360
Jesus was in the tomb and getting all the sin

59
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.840
out of the world. And then on the third day,

60
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.520
the Jews celebrate the feast of first Fruits.

61
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.879
So it's the.

62
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.120
End of the barley harvest, and so they would bake

63
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.919
the barley breads, and it's the beginning of the wheat harvest,

64
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.479
and so they would take the sheaves of wheat and

65
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.639
wave them before the Lord. And so Jesus rose from

66
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.960
the dead on the feast of first Fruits. And so

67
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:55.240
the apostle Paul says, Christ is the first fruit, and

68
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:01.120
each man in his order after Christ's coming will be resurrected.

69
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.560
And so now in the Hebrew calendar you have the

70
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.039
fifty days later is the beginning of that harvest, and

71
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.160
so the Pentecost, So the sheaves came out of the

72
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.600
ground at first fruits, but then the sheaves are are

73
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.879
ready to be harvested, and so it's the beginning of

74
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.040
the harvest of souls.

75
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.480
And then at the end of the summer of the.

76
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.240
Wheat harvest, they would blow the trumpets, and so you know,

77
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.920
Postle Paul and the others say, well, at the last

78
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.240
trump that Christ will return. And the yam Kapoor is

79
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.040
that the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. That's when

80
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.360
the high priests would bring the blood of the lamb

81
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.040
and sprinkle it on the mercy scene. The blood actually

82
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:49.959
changed it from a judgment seat into.

83
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.720
A mercy seed, yes exactly.

84
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.839
And then the Feast of Tabernacles, the Jews would set

85
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.680
up booths, you know, little shelters in their yard and

86
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.360
live in it for a week to sort of camp

87
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.480
out with the kids, but to remind them that they

88
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.079
had come out of Egypt and dwelt in the wilderness,

89
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.439
you know, with the Lord there as the pillar of

90
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.480
Fire by night and God by day. And then the

91
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:19.600
thought is that symbolica that is us dwelling with God

92
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:26.279
forever in heaven. But it's interesting those first four feasts

93
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.720
actually took place on the exact day that Christ was

94
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.480
crucified as the passover Lamb. On Passover, he was in

95
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.639
the grave taking the sin out of the world on

96
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.199
the exact same day as the feast of unloven Bread.

97
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.800
And he rises from the dead on the Feast of

98
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.639
First Fruits. And then fifty days later the Pentecost is

99
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.399
the beginning of the harvest of souls, and it took

100
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.360
place on the feast of Pentecost.

101
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.040
So see what does that tell you Bill about God

102
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:58.319
Almighty himself. I mean, this wasn't by happenstance. It wasn't coincidental.

103
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.519
It was, as Jesus said, an appointed time, wasn't it.

104
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.199
Yeah, there's a versusys in the fullness of time.

105
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:12.439
Christ was born of Mary, and so I like history,

106
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.319
so I like to peace out the timeline. So around

107
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.040
fourteen hundred BC is when the triller Visral come out

108
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.439
of Egypt and they get the Law from God, where

109
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.600
the law says that these three times a year, springs

110
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.759
tend to costs, and then end of the summer the

111
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.839
Jews will make their pilgrimage to Jerusalem. And then you

112
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.600
go to seven twenty two BC and the ten northern

113
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.519
tribes of Visrael are scattered, and then five eighty seven BC,

114
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.839
Judah is scattered to Babylon, and then some come back.

115
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.000
But now you have pockets of Jews around the world,

116
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.680
and then the faithful Jews would make pilgrimage from wherever

117
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.240
they were scattered back to Jerusalem. And then you have

118
00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.720
Alexander the Great conquers and spreads the Greek language. And

119
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.279
then you have the Septuagint, where the Ptolemy, Emperor of Egypt,

120
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:11.399
decides that he wants to have the Old Testament translated

121
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.879
into Greek, and so now the entire Greek world can

122
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:22.920
read the Old Testament. And then you have the Pax Romana.

123
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.040
It's a one hundred year Roman piece from you know,

124
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:34.720
Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar, you know about forty or

125
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.680
so b C's were on sixty or so eighty and

126
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.639
so and then so you piece it all together. You

127
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.519
have the Jews coming from four corners of the world.

128
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.120
On the road system built by the Romans, all roads

129
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.319
like the Rome and they come back to Jerusalem for

130
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.040
their feasts, and then on the day of Pentecost they

131
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.759
all get filled with the Holy Spirit, and people heard

132
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.680
them speaking in their own tongues, right, they're speaking in

133
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.040
all their different tongues. And then at the end of

134
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.839
the week they go back to the four corners of

135
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.480
the world taking the message that Jesus has risen from

136
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.079
the dead and he's the Son of God, and we

137
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.079
have the Gospel and eternal life. And they can communicate

138
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.920
with all the neighbors along the way in the Greek language,

139
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.480
and they can open up the scriptures in the Greek

140
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.800
and say, look, you fulfill this, you fulfill this, you

141
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.199
fulfild this, and if you think of it, you know,

142
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:28.920
the Wickliff Bible translators would spend forty years translating one language,

143
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.639
and so it would have taken a long time if

144
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.399
there was not this Greek language and then road system,

145
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.000
I mean, if there were no roads, it would take

146
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:37.519
a long time.

147
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.320
And this poksromana if there wasn't.

148
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.000
A peace where you know, it's hard to witness to

149
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.399
somebody in the middle of a war. It was as

150
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.320
if the entire world was set up for a rapid

151
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.559
spread of a message, and so on the day of

152
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.919
Pentecost's boom, within a week it's spread out around the

153
00:08:58.039 --> 00:08:58.879

Everything is expensive right now. Gas, food, you name it.

You're spending more, you are making the same or less money.

You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

It's not your fault, it's the economy.

215
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.159
the languages people were born to speak. The Tides Your

216

Soul's Their Sole's Shoe Drive is raising awareness of what

217
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.279
the Tide Ministry has been doing worldwide by putting one

218
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.720
common phrase into action, walk a mile in their shoes.

219
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.200
Through over fifty churches and collection sites, people are coming

220
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.519
together to donate their new and gently worn pairs of shoes,

221
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.799
which ignites real world change through micro enterprises in developing

222
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.159
countries and literacy classes to villagers in India who may

223
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.440
not otherwise have the means to learn how to read

224
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.279
and write. Each pair of shoes is an opportunity for

225
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.799
someone to learn about the Gospel. The last day to

226
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:49.720

com and you can sign up for a daily email

260
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.840
there where I go through the history. You know, I

261
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.639
hate to bring out, but in nine thirty seven a

262
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:58.919
d on Palm Sunday, the sultan I think his name

263
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:03.720
was the Al Hakim, known as the Mad Sultan. He

264
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.960
decided to destroy the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.

265
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.240
And this is when the Christians that were going on

266
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.840
pilgrimage would come back and say, the Muslims destroyed.

267
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.679
The church over where Jesus had risen from the dead.

268
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:28.000
And so this begins the cry in Europe for the

269
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.200
Europeans to send help to these Christian minorities over there,

270
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.799
and they do. It's called the First Crusade, and then

271
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.000
there's nine major crusades. But this Al Hakim, I mean,

272
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:42.919
he was so bad that he decided to destroy every

273
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.080
church you could find and cut out the tongues of

274
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.559
anybody caught speaking Coptic. Right, Egyptians were all Christian for

275
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:55.000
six hundred years until the Muslims invaded, and the language

276
00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:00.799
of the Egyptians was Coptic. Coptic. Coptic, that's the Egyptian

277
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.480
word for Egyptian. But Alhakim said, no, Arabic is the

278
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.919
Muslims divine language, and so they cut out the tongues

279
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:11.440
of people called speaking Coptic.

280
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.080
It's horrible.

281
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.759
But that was on Palm Sunday, is when he decided

282
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:20.080
to destroy the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. And so

283
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:24.759
the second largest religion in the world is Islam. I

284
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:29.120
tell people. In a sense, Islam is the religion of Cain.

285
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.279
So you got Cain and able able worship God through

286
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.200
the Lamb. And it's this beautiful picture. God is on

287
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.080
one side, we are on the other side. We've sinned,

288
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.240
and God is just. So God has to judge the sin.

289
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.240
But the Lamb steps in and takes the judgment in

290
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.200
our place. Yes, and so the lamb is God's way

291
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.240
to love you without having to judge you. It's his plan.

292
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.799
He cannot change his nature. He was like, God can

293
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.000
do everything, well, yeah, but he cannot change who he is.

294
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.399
He is just, and he cannot change that he's just,

295
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:00.320
which means he has to judge every sin, which means

296
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.039
he could never be loved back because if he makes

297
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.879
people that can love, but they step by line.

298
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:04.759
He has to judge him.

299
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.000
And so when the lamb takes the judgment in our place,

300
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.640
the lamb is God's way to love you without having

301
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:12.920
to judge you, because Jesus took the judgment and you're

302
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.279
approaching him through Christ. That's why Jesus said, I'm the

303
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:17.680
way the truth in life. No man comes to the

304
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.359
Father except by me, because if you try to come

305
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.680
any other way, you've sinned.

306
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.559
You've got to get judged.

307
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.440
Now, came wanted to worship God, but he didn't have

308
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:30.680
a lamb. In his theology was works, and we know

309
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.640
it's works because God told Adam the ground is cursed

310
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.559
for your sake, and you'll bring forth fruit by the

311
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.559
sweat of your brow.

312
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.720
Sweat is work.

313
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.079
So Cain's trying to work his way to heaven, and

314
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.039
so he piles all of his you know, barley or

315
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.960
whatever it was, on the altar. And the question is,

316
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:51.640
did Cain's works make him acceptable to God? No, if

317
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.920
you do work, you can be proud of your works

318
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.119
because you're doing more than your brother. And God resists

319
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.440
the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. If

320
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:02.160
you're trusting in the Lamb a third person. You're implicitly

321
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.400
acknowledging your insufficient in yourself and you need help, and

322
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.240
it's humbling. But if there is no Lamb, it's just

323
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:13.319
you and God, and your works can never be enough

324
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:18.680
to satisfy its God and your pride. And so when

325
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.519
it says that Kine's works were ejected as countenance fell,

326
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.480
his pride was hurt. He was offended, He was embarrassed

327
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.400
in front of his mom, dad, and brother, but that

328
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.000
was enough, and then he gets fill full of hatred

329
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.200
and anger wants to murder his brother.

330
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:30.559
They had the revelation of the Lamb.

331
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.799
So it's almost like the spiritual descendants of Cain are

332
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.160
always trying to kill the spiritual descendants of Able.

333
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.400
But any religion of strictly works with no Lamb.

334
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:46.000
It's a Cain's religion, like you know, the different you know,

335
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.039
Hindus or Buddhas that whatever they do, you know, but it's.

336
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.680
The same thing Bill that God said to you know,

337
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:55.079
said to Kine, said, if you do right, will it

338
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.599
not go well for you? That right was righteousness, If

339
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:00.799
you do the holy thing, will it not go right

340
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.440
for you? But Cain insisted on doing it his own

341
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.759
way and not God's way. And that is the divide

342
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:12.079
between you know, with all the religions that are out

343
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:16.279
there right now, you've got the chosen religion that God

344
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:22.000
has appointed for righteousness and salvation. And we are the markers,

345
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.559
you know, those that believe in God. We are the

346
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.079
light to the darkened world that wants to do it

347
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.880
their own way, and you can't do it that way, right.

348
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:34.680
Yeah, I like in it too. Every other religion is

349
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.839
man reaching up to God. Christianity is God reaching.

350
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:39.079
Out to man.

351
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:41.920
Yes, that he initiated it is that while we were

352
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.440
at sinners, Christ died for us, while these other ones, well,

353
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.119
if you're good enough, if you fast enough, if you

354
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.240
you know, chop off enough heads, if you do whatever,

355
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:55.599
you know. But we respond that he gave his life

356
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.680
first out of love. And then we respond to that.

357
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:00.720
But you know, people say, well, who in the Old

358
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.880
Testament was saved, Well, those that believed in the Lamb.

359
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.079
If you summarize the Torah, the first five books of

360
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.880
the Bible, two things are clear law and Lamb the

361
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.519
law six hundred and thirteen laws. But there's all these

362
00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:16.119
laws and God knew they would break the law. So

363
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:20.720
after every law, he has the specified sacrifice that you

364
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.799
offer to be forgiven. So all the sacrifices in the

365
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.880
Old Testament, wherever blood was shed in sacrifice, that is

366
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:31.200
foreshadowing Jesus. So they had faith in the Lamb to come.

367
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.240
We have faith in the Lamb that came. But salvation

368
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:40.279
is through the Lamb. Yes, And it's sort of it's interesting.

369
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:43.599
I've listened on my phone to the Bible, but I've

370
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.200
listened through the book Job, like I don't know, hundreds

371
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.519
of times, and it finally comes down to that. Basically,

372
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.839
Job for forty chapters was trying to approach God as Caine.

373
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.920
It's like, I did everything right, I was, I worked

374
00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:58.839
right and then filing it.

375
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.480
Even sacrifices, if you remember, he did sacrifices for his children,

376
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.400
thinking in case they did sin, I'm going to offer

377
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.240
a sacrifice, right, he didn't know, but he just said, Hey,

378
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:11.640
I'm offering a sacrifice for my kids because they had

379
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.319
a party and I think that they may have sinned,

380
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:16.039
so I'm going to cover them.

381
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:18.000
Yeah, they went on spring break right.

382
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.359
Right exactly, so to speak.

383
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.000
Yeah, But at.

384
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:24.279
The end of it is when Job says, Okay, I

385
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:27.680
admit all my works are as filthy rags. He goes

386
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.960
everything that I've done, it's nothing compared to the righteousness

387
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:36.079
of God. Basically, I'm throwing myself on your mercy. And

388
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:37.359
then God said, that's all I wanted.

389
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:38.400
I just wanted you to.

390
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:44.599
Be humble and you know, and so then job receives

391
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:49.279
the forgiveness. So we trust in God's mercy. We trust

392
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:54.319
in his love rather than trusting And I hope I

393
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:56.680
did enough good stuff. So I asked people, I said,

394
00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.720
are you approaching God as Cain or as Able? If

395
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:01.759
you're still hoping you're good enough to go to heaven,

396
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:05.920
you're approaching God is kin. But if you're approaching God

397
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:06.799
is Able, it's like.

398
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.759
I'm not good enough.

399
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:10.000
But this Lamb was good enough to take all.

400
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:13.079
The judgment I deserve upon itself on the cross, and

401
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:17.319
therefore I'm approaching this all eternally just God through the Lamb.

402
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:20.799
He took the judgment for me so I can experience.

403
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:23.119
The love of God. Now he fills us with the

404
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:23.759
Holy Spirit.

405
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.799
And then we want to go out and do all

406
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:27.880
the good work so we can show the rest of

407
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.680
the world how much God loves him. But that's the response.

408
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:34.079
He loved us first.

409
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:38.680
Yeah, you know, it starts bill the way I say it, It

410
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:42.640
starts with faith, and you have to have some level

411
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.319
of faith to where you can appropriate God's grace. Without faith,

412
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:54.240
it's meaningless because you know, as Saint Augustine says, it

413
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:57.440
starts with faith that leads to belief, that leads to understanding.

414
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:00.680
And that's the process that we go through as we

415
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.640
come to know Almighty God and are blessed by his

416
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:05.640
many blessings.

417
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.920
Yeah, I am two things. That God is just and

418
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:13.599
God is love. So on the just side he can't help.

419
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.640
He is just, which means he has to judge every sin.

420
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:19.839
And the thought is, well, Jesus is one person. How

421
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.319
can one person giving his life pay for billions of

422
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.519
us who have sinned? Well, Jesus is divine, and so

423
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:29.640
he experienced that death on the cross in a dimension

424
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.039
we will never understand. It says, a day with the

425
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.799
Lord is as a thousand years. Jesus experienced that day

426
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:36.759
on the cross as if it was a thousand years.

427
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.920
And if you think of it, I have a degree

428
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.680
in accounting, so I like things that balance. You take

429
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:47.119
an eternal being Jesus, who is innocent suffering for a

430
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:50.279
finite period of time. It's equal to all of us

431
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:53.720
finite beings who are guilty suffering for an eternal period

432
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.920
of time. We say that again, an eternal being who's

433
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.880
innocent suffering for a finite period of time is equal

434
00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:02.079
to all of us finite beings who are guilty suffering

435
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:05.720
for an eternal period of time. Infinity times finite equals

436
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:09.720
finite times infinity. An unlimited being suffering for a limited

437
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:12.400
period of time is equal to all of us limited

438
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:17.000
beings suffering for an unlimited period of time. Jesus suffered

439
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.680
the equivalent of eternal damnation in all of our places

440
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.279
and experiences, as if it was a thousand years, and

441
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.319
he's the only one who could have done it. Not

442
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.359
of love for the Father, not of love for you

443
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.000
and me. He became the lamb, and he took the wrath,

444
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:32.359
says in Isaiah fifty three, It please the Lord to

445
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:36.720
crush him. Charles Wesley wrote to him, amazing Love, How

446
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:40.599
can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

447
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:42.119
Right?

448
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:44.880
So God is just, he judges every sin, but he's love,

449
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:46.880
and that he provided the lamb to take the judgment

450
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:49.119
for the sin. So the lamb is God's way to

451
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.680
love you without having to judge you. It's his way

452
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.400
to get around his own just nature. In mathematical equations,

453
00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:57.759
there's constants and variables. In the equation of redemption, the

454
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.759
constant is God is just, was is and forever will

455
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:01.119
be just.

456
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.880
The variable is who takes the judgment.

457
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.799
You were a substitute, right and Jesus is our substitute.

458
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:12.000
Well, well, we pray that this Easter will be the

459
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:16.880
most meaningful and profound Easter you've ever experienced. And Bill Fetter,

Hey, welcome back Bill Martinez here with doctor John's Merrick.

529
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:12.519
Hey John, how are we doing?

530
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:14.000
I'm good? I'm good, Bill.

531
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.440
How are you well?

532
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:18.319
I'll tell you. I am feeling the pain of our

533
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.079
TSA workers. I mean the third check that they're gonna

534
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:24.960
miss John what they have done, and you know, you know,

535
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:28.160
and I put it on both sides because I'm saying

536
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.160
to John Thune, and I've said before I kind of

537
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:33.759
like the guy. I don't like his results, though, and

538
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.319
he's got to take off the gloves. I mean, he

539
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.880
has just been patty caking with the Democrats way too long.

540
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:44.119
I really am not sure he's on our side. Frankly,

541
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.160
he has tried to obstruct President Trump so many times.

542
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:52.720
He's I mean, he purposely won't let Congress go into

543
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.200
recess to prevent Trump from getting his appoint He's through

544
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:58.559
what Democrat would get away with doing that to a

545
00:29:58.599 --> 00:29:59.519
Democratic president?

546
00:29:59.519 --> 00:29:59.880
Can you ima?

547
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.440
Then Harry Reid doing that to Barack Obama would never happen.

548
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.400
It'd be one phone call. So this is this is

549
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:11.119
I think John Thune represents the wing of the Republican

550
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.599
Party that wants to lose the mid terms. They want

551
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:19.400
the Democrats to impeach Trump again. They want Trump out,

552
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:23.160
they want Trump's populist faction out of power. They're willing

553
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:27.079
to tank the country. They're playing chicken. They're willing to

554
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:30.640
tank the country and let the Democrats take power in

555
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:35.799
order to keep control of their little Republican Party machine.

556
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:37.160
It reminds me of the movie all.

557
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:42.240
Remember the movie Office Space. There was that character who

558
00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:45.319
loves his red stapler and they kept moving him around

559
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.200
and they finally took away his red stapler and he said, okay,

560
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.000
but I can burn this building down, and then he does.

561
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.200
That is John Thune. The Republican Party is his red stapler,

562
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.680
and he's willing to burn the country down rather than

563
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.839
let Donald Trump have his red stapler. That it is

564
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.720
just that petty, It is just that contemptible. Don't listen

565
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.720
to any of the slogans about oh by parisanship and

566
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:14.200
Senate norms and conventions and traditions. While the other side

567
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:18.480
is throwing molotov cocktails and smuggling twenty million foreigners into

568
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.079
the country and letting Sharia courts operate around the country.

569
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:27.039
John Thune talking about the vulnerable traversal, sunate, hall stick, trds,

570
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:31.359
lot blah blah blah. Really, what he's saying is I

571
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.759
can burn this building down.

572
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:38.359
That's it, John. How how many nominations are waiting still?

573
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:39.920
The idea.

574
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:42.720
There are hundreds that can't even keep track.

575
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.640
I mean, here, we're a year and a half into

576
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:52.119
this president's administration, and he is being stalled time and again.

577
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:55.799
The resistance, as you know, they're in full swing, in

578
00:31:55.839 --> 00:32:00.559
full order. And meanwhile, as you say, you know, Thune

579
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.519
and others are worried about things of no consequence. Well,

580
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:05.640
certainly for the American people, some of.

581
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.559
The blame goes to Trump because he keeps endorsing rhinos

582
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:12.319
in primaries. Just stay out of the primaries. The National

583
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:15.519
Party should not be evolved in the primaries. But back

584
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:19.960
in the nineties, Carl Rove was pouring Republican money into

585
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:24.839
primaries to keep open borders Republicans in office rather than

586
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:29.640
actual conservatives. That was supposed to end when Trump became president,

587
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:33.400
But for some reason, he keeps endorsing worthless rhinos who

588
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:38.240
oppose him. He endorsed Lindsey Graham, who celebrated his impeachment

589
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:41.240
and who hit under his desk crying like a little

590
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:44.319
girl on January sixth, and claimed that the election integrity

591
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:48.200
protesters were in the reccinis. I'm both scared.

592
00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:51.359
I weent my pennies, I cried, I curled up in

593
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:52.039
a feedaball.

594
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:56.799
Oh my god, Trump, stop helping your enemies. You're gonna

595
00:32:56.920 --> 00:33:00.000
end up once you're out of office. You're gonna end

596
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.440
up in prison with your entire family. They're going to

597
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:07.519
bankrupt your whole family if you don't kick the Democrats

598
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.920
out of power. And what's standing between Trump and the

599
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:17.279
Democrats are the Washington Generals. The basketball team. For this job,

600
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:20.759
it was to lose every night to the Harlem Globetrotters gracefully.

601
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:23.759
And that's their job. That's all they know how to do.

602
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.720
I mean, you look at John Cornyn here in Texas.

603
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:32.400
He almost managed to get a Trump endorsement against Ken Paxson, who.

604
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:33.319
Is a conservative hero.

605
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:34.160
Right.

606
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:38.359
I wish Trump would be a little more vindictive and

607
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:40.880
actually punish his enemies. I mean, he knows how to

608
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:44.599
go after people who tick him off irrationally, like Marjorie

609
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:47.920
Tilly Green and Thomas Massey and Rand Paul Yeah, okay,

610
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:51.119
their pains in the neck. They're not nearly as bad

611
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:57.519
as Lindsey Graham and John Thune and Kennedy Kennedy, I'm sorry, Cassidy.

612
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:01.759
In Louisiana, we need to purge the Republican Party of

613
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:05.279
these traders, Benedict Arnold was willing to sell out his

614
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:07.640
country for a bag of gold and a commission in

615
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.559
the British Army. He was going to hand over West

616
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.039
Point with all its troops and all its weapons to

617
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:17.719
the British. That is what the Rhinos are doing to America.

618
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:19.800
You know, John, And you bring up a good point here,

619
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.800
and that is that you know, Donald Trump is an

620
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:28.400
exposing agent. He's exposing this, and so you know after

621
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:29.760
Trump what then?

622
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:30.840
Yeah?

623
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:35.360
Yeah, Well, I mean I'm not a huge JD. Bans fan.

624
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:39.480
I feel like he's too close to Tucker Carlson and

625
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:45.039
other toxic weirdos who are I think, doing a foreign

626
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:48.400
intelligence operation to promote Islam in America.

627
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:49.559
I mean you.

628
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.880
Could like it needs promotion, John, right, right, it needs

629
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:58.840
promotion from lazy dilettant, spoil wasp millionaires like Tucker Carlson.

630
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:02.480
I used to George W. Bush used to be the

631
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.039
Republican I hated the most. He has been replaced by

632
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.719
Tucker Carlson. But they have a lot in common. Both

633
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:11.519
born into massive sums of money, both lazy dilettants who

634
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:15.320
pretend to be Christian leaders who don't know anything about Christianity,

635
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:18.400
don't know anything about history, and they follow whatever shiny

636
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:21.159
object gets waved in front of their face. George W. Bush,

637
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:25.480
on September twelfth, two thousand and one, announced that Islam

638
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:28.519
is a religion of peace. Tucker Carlson's now on television

639
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:33.639
saying that sharia law produces better societies than American constitutional law.

640
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:36.880
He's saying this, Yes, he's praising sharia law.

641
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:37.239
Now.

642
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:40.519
He doesn't even people are saying he's on the payroll

643
00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:43.760
of Arab governments. He doesn't even need the money. He's

644
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:46.760
worth something like eighty million dollars. Just he got it

645
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.119
the old fashioned way. He inherited it, and then he

646
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:54.400
made money, you know, from Fox and So I can't

647
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.760
even chalk it up to bribery. I don't know what

648
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.159
it is, except I feel like there are some wasps,

649
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:06.440
some New England, white Anglo Saxon Protestants who resent Jews

650
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:10.039
from becoming prominent, for becoming leaders in America. As the

651
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:13.280
WASP kind of failed failed to lead, you know, gave

652
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:17.440
up the group that built America. The wasps sort of

653
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:21.239
just became like trust fund babies with a coke spoon

654
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:25.320
up their nose and Now these Jews here seem to

655
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:27.519
be asserting themselves. They seem to be doing things and

656
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.800
running things and accomplishing things. There are enemy. Who do

657
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.320
they think they are? This is our country. My great

658
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:40.760
grandfather founded a TV dinner company.

659
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:45.159
Exactly. No, it's it's it's it's absurd. I don't know.

660
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:48.639
I mean, you certainly know more about Tucker Carlson. It remains.

661
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:52.039
He remains a mystery to me because it's like, what happened?

662
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:55.360
Was he always?

663
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:58.760
I mean, he and Kansas got together and had a

664
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.039
couple of beers together, and they both went crazy together?

665
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:01.920
What's what's the deal?

666
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:07.760
I think it's spiritual warfare. Tucker Carlson, with his own voice,

667
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:12.239
said he was subject to a demonic attack. He said

668
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:14.960
he woke up with claw marks. I believe him. The

669
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:19.079
problem is he didn't then go find a priest, an exorcist,

670
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.079
or even a pastor. He didn't join some faithful church

671
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.960
and get guidance. No, No, he's just winging in. I

672
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.360
can read the Bible on my own, so he's gonna

673
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:29.760
have his own religion.

674
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:30.280
Yeah.

675
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:36.239
The devil hates pride, right. Pride is the profound original

676
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:39.719
sin that Satan fell with but Tucker Carlson has an

677
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:44.239
encounter with the diabolical and he proudly trots off to

678
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:49.199
be his own pastor, pope and psychiatrist. And we can

679
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.239
date it back to that attack is when he started

680
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:57.000
having nutjobs and weirdos on his podcast, People Obsessed with Aliens,

681
00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:01.519
Obsessed with Jewish Conspiracies, saying claiming that Churchill was the

682
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.840
villain of World War two. I mean, it's just it's

683
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.880
like what it's watching a slow motion train wreck of

684
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:12.119
a circus train full of cute animals and children, and

685
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:16.079
you're just who this is. It is painful to watch

686
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:21.239
the disintegration of a human soul on the national stage.

687
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:23.960
But that's what we're seeing with Tucker Carlson and Candae

688
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.920
Owen and a number of other people who seem to

689
00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:29.639
be following them down the primrose path to hell.

690
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:33.360
Well, you know, and this is what happens when you

691
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:39.079
truly become disconnected from the truth and God Almighty. I mean,

692
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.039
He is the source of that which is life and

693
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.880
freedom and those things that are noble and righteous that

694
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:48.760
you and I are pursuing. In others other believers are pursuing.

695
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.400
And of course this all comes to mind even more

696
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:52.800
so in this Lenten season.

697
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.880
John, right right, I can't believe we're getting so so

698
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:58.280
close to Easter, and I'm like, I didn't do very much.

699
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:00.920
For lent Well, well, wait a minute, we got to

700
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:03.559
go to break and then we'll come back and we'll

701
00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:05.880
talk more on the other side. More from doctor John

702

You're spending more. You are making the same or less money.

705
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:18.239
So what do you do.

706
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:20.920
You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

707
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.800
It's not your fault, it's the economy. And guess what

708
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:27.480
If you rack up too much credit card debt, like

710

Yes, Easter coming soon, and very soon we will be

783

in Holy Week here and toward you know, after Palm

784
00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:31.239
Sunday we were chanting Hosanna, Hosanna, and then in less

785
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:34.199
than a week we're crucifying the truth.

786
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:40.360
That's something. This is a good time for us to

787
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.760
remember all the people who are being persecuted for their

788
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.960
Christian faith all around the world. In Nigeria, where there's

789
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:50.599
a constant Muslim jiha against the Christians, and the world's

790
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:51.440
not doing anything.

791
00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:52.440
In Iran.

792
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:56.519
Christians are terribly persecuted, but the church is growing underground

793
00:43:56.519 --> 00:44:00.199
in Iran. It's growing faster than anywhere on Earth. And

794
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:02.119
one of the ways that's growing is people are having

795
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:06.920
apparitions of Jesus. Muslims are having visions of Jesus telling them,

796
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:09.519
you know you've been on the wrong path. You're not

797
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:14.000
seeking God the right way. Here's this Bible we smuggled

798
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.920
into the country. I know the people at a ministry

799
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:21.239
called Iran Alive, wonderful people, and they nourish and support

800
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:24.320
the underground church in Iran. I suggest people check out

801
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:27.800
their TV programs, Iran Alive. I'm working with them on

802
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:29.880
my documentary about jihad.

803
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:33.559
Well. And the thing is is you've got to imagine

804
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:37.480
when you've got Muslims, this has been their life, their culture,

805
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:43.639
their family, and they're impressed by a dream. And this

806
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:46.239
is what you hear consistently is that you know, you

807
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:48.599
go what happened, and go, I had a dream. And

808
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:50.760
you can tell the way in which they tell you

809
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:53.280
that they had a dream. John, It is so profound

810
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:57.119
that it comes out of their very soul, the very

811
00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:00.280
depth of who they are, and it's so profound for

812
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:03.559
them that they just have to walk away from their family,

813
00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:07.280
their culture, everything that they've been raised and walk away

814
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:07.760
from it all.

815
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:10.159
And a lot of countries, a lot of countries, there's

816
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:11.400
a death penalty for leaving.

817
00:45:11.480 --> 00:45:13.599
Yes, exactly, exactly these.

818
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:16.719
People are like the martyrs in the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

819
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:21.400
As a great book I'm reading called Answering Jihad by

820
00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:24.400
a former Muslim who became a Christian evangelist. He died recently,

821
00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:27.880
died of cancer last year. Terrific book, Answering Jihad, and

822
00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:31.840
it's all about what it's like to believe that your

823
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:37.159
mission in the world is to wage religious war on unbelievers.

824
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:40.960
That is the highest mission for any Muslim man is

825
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:45.360
to wage jihad. Comes above charity, comes above even preaching.

826
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:49.199
It is the highest calling of a Muslim Man. And

827
00:45:49.239 --> 00:45:52.639
the highest places in heaven are promised for jihad warriors.

828
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:55.719
This is why we can't have millions of these people

829
00:45:55.719 --> 00:46:00.000
living among us. Imagine the hot I's the highest set

830
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:06.159
Aackerman of Catholicism involved human sacrifice or terrorism or poisoning

831
00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:09.000
the wells. You know you wouldn't want them in your country.

832
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:12.440
The First Amendment gives them a loophole so that they

833
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:15.199
can do this. But that's why we have to have

834
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:18.000
strict immigration, and we're going to have to get a

835
00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:18.880
lot of people to leave.

836
00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:21.960
How screwed up are we, John, I mean to welcome

837
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:27.280
an adversary like this that is a clear and present danger, undeniable.

838
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:29.480
I mean, they clearly say we want to kill you,

839
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:31.760
and we go, oh, come on in, you know, come

840
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:35.679
into our neighborhoods. Don't worry about law and order here.

841
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:38.079
You can set up your own sharia law. That's okay,

842
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:38.639
that's fine.

843
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:42.119
Yeah, And you got Tucker Carlson saying sharia law is

844
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:48.800
superior to the American Constitution. Absolute madness. That and the

845
00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:53.480
only explanation is spiritual like there are spirits of confusion

846
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:59.039
sending people on down rabbit holes, obsessed with conspiracy theories

847
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.079
they read on the internet. Why don't you go to

848
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:03.840
your local school board meeting and try to stop them

849
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:08.119
from having transgender propaganda pressed on seven year olds. There's

850
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:12.079
a great organization, mass resistance. Everybody needs to know about

851
00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:14.119
mass resistance. They are the ones who show up at

852
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:18.000
the school board and read aloud the obscene literature that

853
00:47:18.039 --> 00:47:21.199
these perverted school librarians are giving to seven and eight

854
00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:23.280
year olds. They read it aloud, and the people in

855
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:25.239
the school board are embarrassed in appalled.

856
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:25.920
But will they.

857
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:29.480
Approve that curriculum when they do read aloud, they're stopping

858
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:30.480
the parents from reading it.

859
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:33.000
That's right, because it's too obscene to read aloud, But

860
00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:34.280
we're going to give it to your kids.

861
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:35.599
Unbelievable.

862
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:39.440
There was just a Supreme Court decision saying the unbelievably

863
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:42.519
obvious that parents have the right to keep their kids

864
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:46.199
out of classrooms that are doing gay propaganda and transgender

865
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:51.119
propaganda promoting the mental illness of gender dysphoria among young

866
00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:55.360
impressionable kids. Well, that's how bad the Democrats are.

867
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:57.960
Yeah, and speaking of parental rights, to the decision that

868
00:47:58.039 --> 00:48:01.440
came down on social media, I mean this really brought

869
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:05.039
the focus that parents, uh, you know, have a responsibility

870
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.320
and uh and they should not be abridged in any way.

871
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:13.920
Yeah, you should outsource your children's development and spirituality to

872
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:18.360
anonymous strangers in foreign countries running algorithms.

873
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:22.559
Yeah, it's it's absurd and so and and this is

874
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:25.239
just a tip of the Iceberg, John, I mean the

875
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:28.400
judgment that they got. I mean, unless I misread something,

876
00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:30.800
I know the first judgment came down was about three million,

877
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:32.920
and I think the second one was about the same,

878
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:34.559
which I was surprised because I thought it was gonna

879
00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:35.760
be hundreds of millions.

880
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:37.559
Sorry, I don't know this case. Why don't you laid

881
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:38.400
out this?

882
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:42.440
This is this is the Google and Facebook, uh social

883
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:46.199
media case that was just decided this week. And the

884
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:50.880
judgment came down that in fact, the U the system

885
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:57.119
of of the of social media was purposely designed to

886
00:48:57.239 --> 00:48:58.239
addict our children.

887
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:01.800
Wow, this is what.

888
00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:05.519
Was decided in a courtroom. And so the judgment and

889
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:09.000
I need to double check, but the first judgment was

890
00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:11.360
for three million, and I heard the second one was

891
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:14.760
about three That's not enough to really change their evil ways.

892
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:18.599
That's chump changed these people. People need to go to prison. People,

893
00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:22.199
people need to have their their entire net worth confiscated.

894
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:25.360
There need to be there need to be consequences.

895
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:27.920
Well, the tobacco manufacturers are going, wait a minute, how

896
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:29.480
come we didn't get that kind of deal?

897
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:30.039
Yeah?

898
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:35.119
Right exactly. I mean for all the addictive production that

899
00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:39.480
they that they thrust upon America But anyway, that aside

900
00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:42.320
about five minutes left here, I wanted to address the

901
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:44.960
mid terms, how critical it is, and also the Save

902
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:47.559
Act that's been hanging in the balance here way too long.

903
00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:49.400
Speaking of John Tune.

904
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:54.360
Yeah, yeah, the Democrats want voter fraud because they cheat

905
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:58.079
in the general election. The Rhinos want voter fraud because

906
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:01.840
they cheat in the primaries to stop MAGA candidates from winning.

907
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:03.320
So you've got a.

908
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:07.280
Collusion of both the corrupt elements of both parties keeping

909
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:11.159
a bill that has eighty percent public approval from becoming law.

910
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:14.159
And now it looks like John Thune might outsource it

911
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:17.679
to the Senate parliamentarian who was appointed.

912
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:19.280
By Harry Reid, right exactly.

913
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:24.800
Yeah, They one sleazy trick after another to prevent the

914
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:29.840
American people from actually being represented. I mean it's staggering.

915
00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:33.960
You got judges issuing lawless injunctions, taking away the president's

916
00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:40.400
executive power, turning loose recidivous criminal, criminal aliens on the public.

917
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:45.559
All this stuff is enormously unpopular, but the system is

918
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:49.079
rigged and they use loopholes, and of course you've got

919
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:52.480
the media spitting it in the most outrageous ways. I

920
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:54.840
don't envy the people in the Trump administration.

921
00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:55.920
They are.

922
00:50:56.800 --> 00:51:00.920
It's like you're a flee riding in a rhinoceros and

923
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:03.320
you're trying to control the rhinoceros and get it to

924
00:51:03.480 --> 00:51:06.760
move in another maybe not run off a cliff. Right,

925
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:11.320
That's how institutionalized the power of the left became after

926
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:17.280
Obama and Obama turned our intelligence community into a political weapon,

927
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:20.079
something like the East German Secret Police.

928
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.880
The stuffs that lingers to this day. John, That's right.

929
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:25.519
I was happy to see General Flynn got a cast

930
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:28.400
settlement as I saw the Department of Justice for the

931
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:34.480
outrageous attempt to imprison him and his son over political differences.

932
00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:37.760
No crime was committed, no real crime was even alleged.

933
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:40.400
And you talk about the reward on that, John, I

934
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:44.400
thought that was meager. One point five million, yeah more,

935
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:46.519
Oh yeah, I thought it was very I thought it

936
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:48.559
was chump change. I mean, this, this fell out of

937
00:51:48.599 --> 00:51:50.440
the penny loafers of the DOJ. Here.

938
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:55.079
Yeah, I mean remember the outrageous settlement to that fake

939
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:58.800
sexual abuse case with Trump and that crazy woman and

940
00:51:58.800 --> 00:51:59.760
burged off god.

941
00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:04.199
Yeah, ninety million or something like that. It was absurd, Yeah,

942
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:07.119
or even or even George Floyd twenty seven million.

943
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:11.480
Oh yeah, yeah, I'm dying dying on while on fenerol

944
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:12.679
while resisting arrests.

945
00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:17.760
The insanity, But here it is. I mean, this is

946
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:20.039
why the midterms are so critical, why the say AAC

947
00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:23.559
needs to needs to be passed, and that John Thune's

948
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:26.280
got to fall on his sword at some point otherwise,

949
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:29.800
I mean, what's his legacy.

950
00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:31.840
John disgrace.

951
00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:34.840
There are no monuments to Benett Arnold, and there will

952
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:38.360
be no monuments to John Thune or John Cornyn or

953
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:41.639
Lisa Murkowski or any of the other. In my last

954
00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:44.360
piece over a Chronicles magazine, which I recommend people read,

955
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:47.199
I did something on the Texas Senate race, and I said,

956
00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:52.159
Rhinos are really like closeted gays in the early sixties.

957
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:55.800
They're putting on one face in public and then leading

958
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:58.800
an entirely different life on the down law. So I

959
00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:03.599
just I've started calling them closeted democrats. I think that

960
00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:07.079
that's more appropriate because they have a spouse, but they're

961
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:07.639
cheating on.

962
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:12.320
Her, right exactly. Yeah, don't you know, just don't see,

963
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:14.400
don't tell you know kind of thing. I guess you know,

964
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:17.840
we're back, We're back to that again sticking our heads

965
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:22.000
in the sand, thinking that somehow, some resolution, oh somebody

966
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:24.519
else will resolve it down the road. But meanwhile, as

967
00:53:24.559 --> 00:53:28.679
we continue on with this, uh, this nuance and this facade,

968
00:53:29.199 --> 00:53:31.679
we're thirty nine trillion dollars in counting in debt.

969
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:34.920
John, And the moment the Democrats take power again, they're

970
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.119
going to open the borders to the entire Third World

971
00:53:37.400 --> 00:53:40.679
and we will be inundated and drowned, just like the

972
00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:41.679
poor people in Britain.

973
00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:42.800
So let's talk.

974
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.559
Let's all try to have a prayerful, peaceful Holy Week

975
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:49.679
and remember the people who are actually being persecuted and

976
00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:52.320
do what we can to help them.

977
00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:56.199
Yeah, exactly, as we as we go into this this

978
00:53:56.280 --> 00:54:00.960
Holy Week, and it's such a hallowed time because it

979
00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:03.840
sets us up for the greatest gift that God ever

980
00:54:03.880 --> 00:54:04.320
gave us.

981
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:08.480
John, right right resurrection. Yeah, because if there's no life

982
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:12.440
after death, if there's no resurrection, then life is just

983
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:16.840
a cruel joke, which is you know what scientific materialists

984
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:18.760
have tried to convince us.

985
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:22.519
Well, this is why you know Tony Compolo that i'd interviewed,

986
00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:24.920
he was probably one of the first guys I interviewed

987
00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:28.320
when I started on the air doing the show, and

988
00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:30.760
Tony had such a great sermon, one of the best

989
00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:35.039
sermons ever about it's Friday, but Sunday's coming, and if

990
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:37.960
you haven't, if you haven't heard that, or it's been

991
00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:41.440
a while, I would recommend that you revisit that sermon.

992
00:54:41.519 --> 00:54:44.639
It's so powerful and it's so encouraging, especially at this

993
00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:47.239
time with all the things that may be rough, five

994
00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:51.679
hour lines at the airport, our world upside down, that

995
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:54.400
which is evil called good, good called evil. Where we

996
00:54:54.440 --> 00:54:57.559
are right now, that's only Friday, because Sonday.

997
00:54:57.559 --> 00:54:59.880
Can recommend a great a great movie, the movie Whiz

998
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:04.199
with Joseph Fines, a wonderful movie about the Resurrection, seen

999
00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:05.519
from the point of view of the one of the

1000
00:55:05.639 --> 00:55:09.880
Roman soldiers who helped to crucify Jesus. He encounters the Apostles,

1001
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:14.559
he encounters the risen Jesus. It is my favorite Passion

1002
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:18.599
Week Easter Week movie, Risen with Joseph Fines. It's available

1003
00:55:18.599 --> 00:55:21.960
to stream and it's just a great way to spend

1004
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:23.320
Easter Sunday with your family.

1005
00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:26.840
Amen. John Zamerica is the author of No Second Amendment,

1006
00:55:26.920 --> 00:55:30.079
No First, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism, and many

1007
00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:32.559

1028
00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:47.960
Hey right now. Six minutes after the top of the Hour,

1029
00:56:48.039 --> 00:56:50.719
Bill Martinez. Here, We've got Gary Benoy join us. He's

1030
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:53.920
the editor in chief of The New American. Gary. Welcome

1031
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:55.079
to show. Good to have you with us.

1032
00:56:55.320 --> 00:56:57.440
Thank you very much. I'm so happy to be invited.

1033
00:56:57.880 --> 00:57:00.360
Well, great to have you here to talk about you

1034
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:02.519
know what we've all been talking about, the Iran war.

1035
00:57:03.800 --> 00:57:07.760
And also you say, and the Constitution, right, yes, so

1036
00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:08.960
break it down for.

1037
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:13.800
Us, okay, Well, the Constitution specifies the powers of the

1038
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:16.639
president as well as the powers of Congress when it

1039
00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:21.719
comes to war. And simply put the president regardless of

1040
00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:24.800
he's a Democrat or Republican, because democrats a violated the

1041
00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:28.639
Constitution as well. To regard more powers, the president does

1042
00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:30.280
not have the power of the king. He does not

1043
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:33.320
have the power to decide when to go to war.

1044
00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:37.719
That is strictly up to Congress. Specifically, Congress possesses the

1045
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:41.920
power to declare war, not the president. And so what

1046
00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:45.679
it should have happened is that Trump believed that the

1047
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:48.920
United States was really threatened, that the threat was really imminent,

1048
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:52.719
and that we needed to strike first because otherwise we

1049
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:56.159
would have been hit first. He should have gone to Congress.

1050
00:57:56.719 --> 00:57:59.519
And I know there are people Bill who claim that, well, gee,

1051
00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:03.039
you couldn't that, because this could have happened very quickly

1052
00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:06.760
in terms of the US being attacked. Well, we've been

1053
00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:10.639
hearing that, haven't we, going back to nineteen seventy nine. Right, Well,

1054
00:58:10.639 --> 00:58:13.239
when you talk about emine threat over that period of time,

1055
00:58:13.280 --> 00:58:14.599
it's really not immina, is it.

1056
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:18.800
Well it isn't except when you're trying to negotiate with

1057
00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:21.320
these people and they tell you, well, we've got all this,

1058
00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:27.880
you know, this material in order to create eleven nuclear bombs,

1059
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.400
and you go, okay, what are we talking about? Is

1060
00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:33.559
this something similar? If remember with Saddam Hussein, he had

1061
00:58:33.559 --> 00:58:36.199
claimed he had the power, you know, to wipe out

1062
00:58:36.199 --> 00:58:39.079
his neighbors too, and you know know, well, did he

1063
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:42.199
really have it or was he just pounding his chest

1064
00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:43.480
and threatening his neighbors.

1065
00:58:44.159 --> 00:58:46.039
Well, I think history has shown that he really did

1066
00:58:46.039 --> 00:58:48.320
not have it, because we were told when we invaded

1067
00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:53.079
Iraq that the weapons the mass destruction were here, and

1068
00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:55.320
they were there and they were everywhere, remember that, And

1069
00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:59.039
that turned out not to be the case. But in

1070
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.159
this case, though, you do have the fact that, according

1071
00:59:02.199 --> 00:59:06.920
to a US intelligence assessment that was put out by

1072
00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:11.000
the US government, back in March of twenty and twenty

1073
00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:16.239
five that they did not have a nuclear weapons program.

1074
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:19.119
So maybe that was true, maybe that was false, but

1075
00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:21.440
that was what the US government was saying in March

1076
00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:24.960
of twenty twenty five, and yet three months later we

1077
00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:30.559
attacked Iran because opposedly the threat of a nuclear weapon

1078
00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:34.800
was imminent. So was that allying then or was that

1079
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:38.599
a lie earlier? But regardless, when we did make that

1080
00:59:38.679 --> 00:59:42.519
attack in June of twenty twenty five, we were then

1081
00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:45.800
told by Trump and other officials and the Trump administration

1082
00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:50.320
that we had completely destroyed their nuclear weapon threat, and

1083
00:59:50.360 --> 00:59:51.800
all of a sudden, we have to do it over

1084
00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:52.960
again this year.

1085
00:59:54.199 --> 00:59:58.000
Yeah. Well, obviously, like anything, you know, let's go back

1086
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.920
to Ron Reagan, you know, trust but verify, right, And

1087
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:04.280
they were relying on the information that they were getting

1088
01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:06.599
from you know, some of the ground forces there from

1089
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:09.199
you know, Israel. We didn't have boots on the ground.

1090
01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:11.559
This is, of course, the challenge and any kind of

1091
01:00:11.599 --> 01:00:15.960
conflict is that, you know, there's there's nothing like having

1092
01:00:16.119 --> 01:00:17.920
you know, ground floor information.

1093
01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:23.239
Well that is true, but nonetheless you don't want to

1094
01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:25.760
act on information you do not have. Do you know,

1095
01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:31.679
we had the information that they still were developing a

1096
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:35.320
nuclear bomb or working toward developing a nuclear bomb. The

1097
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:38.079
bottom line is that Comeras should have made the decision.

1098
01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:45.760
The bottom line, too, is that was I Ran threatening

1099
01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:50.039
its neighbors or was I Ran threatening the United States itself?

1100
01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:52.920
Because the purpose of the military should be to protect

1101
01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:54.679
the United States of America.

1102
01:00:54.880 --> 01:00:59.920
Right, and it's interest exactly right, And and the other thing.

1103
01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:05.079
I mean, and I'll tell you Gary, I'm a marine, Okay,

1104
01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:10.440
So we are, you know, commissioned to be as they say.

1105
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:13.119
The President's owned that he can call us into any situation.

1106
01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:16.159
And there's been situations whether you know, we go back

1107
01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:19.239
to the Barbary Pirates. When Jefferson saw, you know, the

1108
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:21.960
Muslims were getting out of control there and said send

1109
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:26.119
in the Marines. I mean, they flinched and made it

1110
01:01:26.159 --> 01:01:30.480
known that they were not for good. And so you

1111
01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:33.360
have to in this situation with the commander in chief,

1112
01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:36.199
I believe you have to have some and I think

1113
01:01:36.239 --> 01:01:38.480
the Constitution gives it an allowance. I think one hundred

1114
01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:42.039
and fifty days, number one, number two is all this

1115
01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:44.960
stuff had been boiling, and I put a little bit

1116
01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:47.840
of the ononus on Congress, It's like, you know, they

1117
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:50.880
sat there on their hands, saw this stuff coming, and

1118
01:01:50.920 --> 01:01:54.159
they weren't. I didn't see them as being proactive.

1119
01:01:53.599 --> 01:01:54.159
In any way.

1120
01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:58.079
And for me, I would like to see our government,

1121
01:01:58.639 --> 01:02:03.159
you know, being more proactive on issues of this nature

1122
01:02:03.239 --> 01:02:05.559
as opposed to turn and get into a political issue

1123
01:02:05.719 --> 01:02:08.920
and being a bunch of Monday morning quarterbacks. Is that fair?

1124
01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:12.079
Yes, I think you're making good points. But I will

1125
01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:15.719
say with regard to the number of days that is allowed,

1126
01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:19.840
that was under the War Powers Act, which was an

1127
01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:22.840
act that was passed by Congress during the Vietnam War

1128
01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:26.280
period to try to prevent the president in the future

1129
01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:31.480
from unilaterally getting US into a major war without the

1130
01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:35.199
involvement of Congress. But I would argue that the War

1131
01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:39.599
Powers Act is actually unconstitutional, that we should go by

1132
01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:42.679
the Constitution itself, not the War Powers Act. And the

1133
01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:45.639
warning though in the Constitution is very interesting because it

1134
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:49.519
gives power to Congress to declare war. It does not

1135
01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:52.119
say to make war. And there's a very good reason

1136
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:53.920
for that. And you find out why that is the

1137
01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:56.440
case when you go back and you look at Medicine's

1138
01:02:56.440 --> 01:03:01.639
notes where he records the debate that occurred at the

1139
01:03:01.639 --> 01:03:05.679
Constitutional Convention. And the reason the founders use the word

1140
01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:11.880
declare rather than make is because they did recognize that

1141
01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:14.360
if there were a sudden attack against the United States

1142
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:16.719
of America, you didn't want the president to be in

1143
01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:22.480
a situation where in order to respond to that attack immediately,

1144
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:26.440
he'd be vitolating the Constitution. Otherwise that what is said

1145
01:03:26.559 --> 01:03:29.320
makes so it's very clear that the intent is that

1146
01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:32.719
Congress should decide when to go to war. And again,

1147
01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:35.480
as I said earlier, Bill, when you have a so

1148
01:03:35.679 --> 01:03:40.159
called eminent threat that occurs over fifty years or close

1149
01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:43.679
to it, since nineteen seventy nine, there is not an

1150
01:03:43.719 --> 01:03:47.360
emminent threat. But I think part of what's happening is

1151
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:51.559
that Congress likes to wash its hands of the whole situation,

1152
01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:57.519
so they escape responsibility. But it is Congress's responsibility, and

1153
01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:01.800
so somebody wants to be in Congress should exercise that responsibility.

1154
01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:05.719
Exactly right, And that's what Congressman Thomas Massey wanted to

1155
01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:09.599
accomplish when he introduced that resolution to say that the

1156
01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:12.440
president should not go to war unless there's a declaration

1157
01:04:12.519 --> 01:04:12.880
of war.

1158
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:18.320
Well, I think that you and I are are seeing

1159
01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:21.320
the same thing here is that there needs to be

1160
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:25.199
some proactivity here and that Congress shares some responsibility. And

1161
01:04:25.239 --> 01:04:27.760
of course, you know when we talk about the Warp

1162
01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:31.960
Powers Act, going back to Vietnam and going forward, how

1163
01:04:31.960 --> 01:04:35.000
many times has it been used on both sides, Democrats

1164
01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:38.199
as well as Republicans, And you know, to give them

1165
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:40.639
time for some reason or another. And of course, now

1166
01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:44.280
in today's environment, the other issue you have is that

1167
01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:48.960
you almost can't trust Congress. You know, Gary, you don't

1168
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:50.760
even want to be the commander in chief right now

1169
01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:54.239
because if you're dealing with strategy and you you go

1170
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:56.159
to Congress and you say, hey, this is what I'm

1171
01:04:56.199 --> 01:05:00.000
looking at. These knuckleheads can't find a microphone fast enough

1172
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:02.159
than a camera to get in front of and all

1173
01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:05.679
of a sudden they're revealing all your strategy.

1174
01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:10.880
Well, I know that's a huge problem. But nonetheless, in

1175
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:14.840
order to go to war, UH in a justifiable way,

1176
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:18.639
you need to know why. You need to know that

1177
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:22.400
this you know, yeah, you need to know why, and

1178
01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:25.559
you need to know that Iran is about to attack

1179
01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:29.519
the United States. Now, obviously there are secrets, UH, that

1180
01:05:29.599 --> 01:05:32.079
the Garment has that we do not want to make

1181
01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:35.280
known to the enemy. You know that's absolutely true. But

1182
01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:39.079
if Iran is ready to punch us, and the evidence

1183
01:05:39.159 --> 01:05:41.800
is presented to Congress that Iran is ready to punch us,

1184
01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:46.280
we're not telling the enemy anything they do not already know. So, uh,

1185
01:05:46.599 --> 01:05:49.599
Congress really needs to make the decision. And I find

1186
01:05:49.599 --> 01:05:50.880
an interesting bill to Oh j.

1187
01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:52.559
Well, Joe, well let's go. Let's go to a quick break.

1279
01:10:57.119 --> 01:10:57.880
we're back with You've.

1280
01:10:57.720 --> 01:10:59.960
Bill Martinez with the editor in chief of The New

1281
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:03.840
America and Gary Vanoy, and we're talking the Constitution and

1282
01:11:05.079 --> 01:11:07.399
the War Piers Act. And Gary's bringing up some good

1283
01:11:07.439 --> 01:11:11.600
points here, and you know, maybe we need to take

1284
01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:14.840
a deeper dive in consideration into this. Gary to where

1285
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:17.640
we're not just you know, because today we're dealing with

1286
01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:20.800
Donald Trump, I mean tomorrow, god only knows. And and

1287
01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:24.279
the whole idea of emminent, what does imminent? How do

1288
01:11:24.319 --> 01:11:26.640
you define imminent threat?

1289
01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:30.239
Right, that's a very good question. I do not define

1290
01:11:30.279 --> 01:11:33.680
it the way it's defined by people who are supporting

1291
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:36.840
the war effort, that it's over a period going back

1292
01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:40.199
to nineteen seventy nine. That's not imminent. Eminent I would say,

1293
01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:44.600
is where we have intelligence of information that Iran is

1294
01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:47.880
going to attack us, and that attack will happen every day,

1295
01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:51.560
and of course US not you know, metter know the

1296
01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:55.560
country because the US military is to protect these United

1297
01:11:55.560 --> 01:11:56.359
States of America.

1298
01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:01.960
And of course we found out that Iran, were we

1299
01:12:02.159 --> 01:12:05.039
told did not have long range missiles. We found out

1300
01:12:05.079 --> 01:12:06.560
this week they do have.

1301
01:12:07.600 --> 01:12:09.920
Well, they have long range missiles that could hit the United.

1302
01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:15.720
States twenty five hundred twenty five hundred miles. Not exactly

1303
01:12:15.760 --> 01:12:19.720
the United States, but certainly, you know, our allies there

1304
01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:22.560
and now we're talking you know, NATO or you know,

1305
01:12:22.600 --> 01:12:25.920
at that point, interests not necessarily the United States directly,

1306
01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:27.680
our interests go ahead.

1307
01:12:27.880 --> 01:12:30.800
Sure, but if we were to look at it that way, Bill,

1308
01:12:31.159 --> 01:12:33.840
I would say this, how about Russia? How about Putin?

1309
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:37.880
Because I view that as an average adversary, that is

1310
01:12:37.920 --> 01:12:42.720
a very authoritarian regime, and I don't believe the propaganda

1311
01:12:42.800 --> 01:12:46.760
that communism has really you know, really been killed in Russia.

1312
01:12:47.199 --> 01:12:50.319
So how about China that is an adversary? Or how

1313
01:12:50.319 --> 01:12:53.880
about Cuba, which is just ninety miles from our shores.

1314
01:12:53.960 --> 01:12:56.560
So you know, there's a lot of enemies in the world,

1315
01:12:57.640 --> 01:13:01.800
and there were enemies that have a lot of military capability.

1316
01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:05.199
So should we attack Cuban? Now, should we attack Russia?

1317
01:13:05.279 --> 01:13:11.239
Should we attack China? Should we attack other enemies? And

1318
01:13:11.239 --> 01:13:13.359
and if so, what is the justification for that? And

1319
01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:16.640
who should decide? Should the president decide by himself or

1320
01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:17.760
should Congress decide?

1321
01:13:19.560 --> 01:13:23.279
Well, again, you know, that's that's the question of the day.

1322
01:13:23.880 --> 01:13:28.000
And even as we continue to debate it again to

1323
01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:33.039
your earlier point, Congress is really, you know, failing in

1324
01:13:33.079 --> 01:13:35.359
some ways. I mean, they'll they want to debate it

1325
01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:37.000
and throw it out there if it's some sort of

1326
01:13:37.680 --> 01:13:40.600
you know, some sort of political point as opposed to

1327
01:13:40.680 --> 01:13:44.640
something that is I think much more serious and along

1328
01:13:44.680 --> 01:13:46.439
the lines of the way you and I are discussing

1329
01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:50.279
this is that whatever we do it should be connected

1330
01:13:50.319 --> 01:13:53.680
to the Constitution. That that should be fundamental. But we

1331
01:13:53.840 --> 01:14:00.199
are time and again avoiding the Constitution, uh, which is problematic,

1332
01:14:00.760 --> 01:14:03.039
and you know, because I want to know what the

1333
01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:06.199
rules of engagement are and also what happens if somebody

1334
01:14:06.279 --> 01:14:09.439
violates the Constitution. And we've had a lot of violations

1335
01:14:09.439 --> 01:14:13.560
of the Constitution recently that there's no consequence to it.

1336
01:14:13.720 --> 01:14:16.800
So then what does that do in terms of the

1337
01:14:16.840 --> 01:14:18.479
credibility of the Constitution.

1338
01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:21.640
Well, I think it makes it easier to violate the

1339
01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:23.680
Constitution in the future. And I know one of the

1340
01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:27.079
arguments that is made regarding what Trump is doing today

1341
01:14:27.680 --> 01:14:30.239
is the fact, well, gee, Trump is behaving the same

1342
01:14:30.279 --> 01:14:35.199
way as others did in the past, both Republicans and Democrats.

1343
01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:38.880
And of course that's absolutely true, Bill, But the fact

1344
01:14:38.920 --> 01:14:41.800
that we violated the Constitution in the past with regard

1345
01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:45.199
to war powers does not mean that it's okay to

1346
01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:49.479
violate the Constitution today. So the long range solution is

1347
01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:52.800
we've got to get back to the Constitution, and in

1348
01:14:52.920 --> 01:14:56.159
order to accomplish that, we have to wake the town

1349
01:14:56.319 --> 01:14:58.760
and tell the people and get them involved. And that,

1350
01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:01.720
of course is the entire rationale for the John Burges

1351
01:15:01.720 --> 01:15:05.840
Society to create the understanding so that when people go

1352
01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:08.439
into the voting booths and they decide to vote for

1353
01:15:08.479 --> 01:15:12.000
candidate A or candidate B, that they look at that

1354
01:15:12.239 --> 01:15:15.319
through the prism of whether or not those candidates are

1355
01:15:15.359 --> 01:15:19.960
going to support the Constitution or if they're going to

1356
01:15:21.439 --> 01:15:25.800
work to destroy the Constitution by not honoring their oaths

1357
01:15:25.800 --> 01:15:28.279
of office. It's really that simple, and the American people

1358
01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:31.000
are informed. I think we will get good government.

1359
01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:33.960
No, well, there's no question I've been saying for a

1360
01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:36.439
long time here Gary, that we need to return to

1361
01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:40.760
first principles. Yes, I mean, here we are, we're celebrating

1362
01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:43.239
our two hundred and fiftieth year, and let's take a

1363
01:15:43.279 --> 01:15:46.479
snapshot of the condition of America right now where it

1364
01:15:46.560 --> 01:15:50.319
is and all these violations, these constitutional violations that we've

1365
01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:52.960
had over the and we've kind of accepted it, said,

1366
01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:55.239
well that's the way we've been doing it for the

1367
01:15:55.319 --> 01:15:58.159
last three four decades. Well, just because we've been violating

1368
01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:01.600
the Constitution doesn't mean that we just keep violating the Constitution, right,

1369
01:16:02.039 --> 01:16:06.039
And so it's silly, it's not. But this is what

1370
01:16:06.239 --> 01:16:12.039
happens when again, the three most powerful words in our

1371
01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:15.039
constitution is we the people? Yes, if we the people

1372
01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:19.720
subordinate our authority which we have to the ruling class,

1373
01:16:20.079 --> 01:16:21.079
this is what you get.

1374
01:16:21.439 --> 01:16:25.119
That's exactly what's happening. And also, I would add, Bill,

1375
01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:28.760
it really is not a case of Republicans versus Democrats.

1376
01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:33.199
Now if compare the two, obviously you would have to

1377
01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:37.800
rate the Republicans of today better than the Democrats of today,

1378
01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:42.039
you know, again overall, but nonetheless, the Republican Party now

1379
01:16:42.159 --> 01:16:45.359
is where the Democratic Party was that not that many

1380
01:16:45.439 --> 01:16:48.439
years ago. So let's look, we have competition between the

1381
01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:53.119
two major parties. But what is happening is regardless of

1382
01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:56.720
who was elected Republican or Democrat, we keep moving down

1383
01:16:56.760 --> 01:17:00.840
the socialist road and certainly look like an exception to

1384
01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:03.840
that trend that has happened over decades. In my opinion,

1385
01:17:04.399 --> 01:17:06.439
he was much better in his first term than in

1386
01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:10.640
his second. But you know, Trump is violating the Constitution too,

1387
01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:13.159
and you got to stop looking at the world in

1388
01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:16.439
terms of Republicans versus Democrats, but look at the world

1389
01:17:16.520 --> 01:17:21.359
in terms of is it constitutional or is it unconstitutional?

1390
01:17:21.520 --> 01:17:23.319
And I would add regarding that that if you had

1391
01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:26.279
a Democrat in the White House, today, and the Democrats

1392
01:17:26.279 --> 01:17:29.359
decided to attack Iran and do exactly what Trump did.

1393
01:17:29.640 --> 01:17:33.000
You know what, I would bet you that almost every

1394
01:17:33.079 --> 01:17:37.199
Democrat in Congress who is now complaining about what Trump

1395
01:17:37.239 --> 01:17:39.399
is doing hooray.

1396
01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:43.720
Oh yeah, exactly. I mean that it's it's filled with irony,

1397
01:17:43.760 --> 01:17:46.359
there's no doubt about it, along with the media, because

1398
01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:48.319
the media can't help themselves. I mean, ninety four to

1399
01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:51.319
ninety five percent of what their report is purposely against Trump.

1400
01:17:51.560 --> 01:17:55.199
But to your point, you're saying you either are for

1401
01:17:55.359 --> 01:17:58.880
the constitutionary against constitution. We've been saying you either are

1402
01:17:59.159 --> 01:18:02.760
pro American or you're anti American. Forget the parties. The

1403
01:18:02.800 --> 01:18:06.880
party is just confused the stuff right, and their adversarial

1404
01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:10.039
and so they just keep this contest going on so

1405
01:18:10.079 --> 01:18:14.000
that we're each other's throats. But meanwhile they continue, as

1406
01:18:14.039 --> 01:18:17.239
you say, to take us down this road to socialism.

1407
01:18:17.319 --> 01:18:21.479
Yes, and I love what you said too about your

1408
01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:24.439
either pro American or anti American. And let's look at that.

1409
01:18:24.600 --> 01:18:27.760
And I'm going to use the word Americanism because that's

1410
01:18:27.760 --> 01:18:30.720
the word the jumbirds. I use the philosophy that an

1411
01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:35.760
American would espouse. So that begs the question, what is Americanism,

1412
01:18:36.079 --> 01:18:38.600
And I would point to the Declaration of Independence for that,

1413
01:18:38.680 --> 01:18:42.520
which provides the philosophical basis for the constitution of the

1414
01:18:42.640 --> 01:18:45.680
United States of America exactly that would be celebrating on

1415
01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:49.279
July fourth of this year. And what does the declaration say? Well,

1416
01:18:49.319 --> 01:18:51.479
it says that we have certain rights, that those rights

1417
01:18:51.479 --> 01:18:56.600
are endowed by our creator, that those rights are unalienable,

1418
01:18:57.239 --> 01:18:59.960
and that those include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,

1419
01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:04.960
and that the purpose of government is to protect those rights.

1420
01:19:05.159 --> 01:19:08.079
So that's the philosophical basis of our constitution.

1421
01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:11.079
Yeah, you know, and you're exactly right here, because if

1422
01:19:11.119 --> 01:19:13.600
we were to you know, and I've asked our audience

1423
01:19:13.600 --> 01:19:15.920
several times in the past, that take a look at

1424
01:19:15.920 --> 01:19:21.039
the Declaration of Independence against the background of our government today. Yes,

1425
01:19:21.640 --> 01:19:24.960
where where are the incongruities right now?

1426
01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:30.279
And yet we're celebrating the Declaration Independents this year, right is? Well,

1427
01:19:30.319 --> 01:19:34.000
we should, we obviously should. But but you know, let's

1428
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:37.079
not deceive ourselves into thinking that the government we have

1429
01:19:37.199 --> 01:19:41.960
today resembles what the funding fathers sacrifice to create.

1430
01:19:42.680 --> 01:19:46.039
Because, as you know, the further you get away from

1431
01:19:46.399 --> 01:19:51.079
the origins, you start missing the point, and especially especially

1432
01:19:51.079 --> 01:19:53.840
the way you know, our government is run, you know,

1433
01:19:55.079 --> 01:19:59.319
and Ronald Reagan said it quite directly that there's nothing

1434
01:19:59.560 --> 01:20:03.479
like a you know, a government bureaucracy that goes on

1435
01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:07.079
to eternity. I mean, there's no refining, there's no adjustment

1436
01:20:07.119 --> 01:20:10.000
in saying, hey, that was then, this is now, maybe

1437
01:20:10.039 --> 01:20:12.000
we got a better way. Oh no, we just keep

1438
01:20:12.039 --> 01:20:15.039
throwing money at it. It's not very intelligent. It's not

1439
01:20:15.119 --> 01:20:16.039
very intellectual, is it.

1440
01:20:16.039 --> 01:20:17.960
And when you go down that road of socialism, I

1441
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:22.119
would say, the answer is not efficient socialism. The answer

1442
01:20:22.239 --> 01:20:24.760
is not reform. The answer is to get rid of

1443
01:20:24.840 --> 01:20:28.600
all these unconstitutional programs, to get rid of the welfare state,

1444
01:20:29.479 --> 01:20:33.000
also even the warfare state in terms of going abroad

1445
01:20:33.119 --> 01:20:38.319
for monsters, to destroy the military destrial complex. You know,

1446
01:20:38.399 --> 01:20:41.520
let's have a strong defense, but a defense designed to

1447
01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:44.760
defend the United States of America, not to build empire

1448
01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:48.479
throughout the world. That's the way to get the budget

1449
01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:55.199
under control. You never can make socialism efficient because government

1450
01:20:55.279 --> 01:20:59.119
is inherently inefficient. It's that simple. And we saw example

1451
01:20:59.119 --> 01:21:03.960
of that too in in Minneapolis, didn't we Oh where

1452
01:21:04.000 --> 01:21:08.079
we saw you all the waste and fraud there.

1453
01:21:07.399 --> 01:21:09.760
Minneapolis, spreading to California, Gary.

We're back with the America.

1526
01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:04.960
Glad you could join us. Bill Martinez here with Blaine Maxville,

1527
01:25:05.319 --> 01:25:08.520
and we're going to be talking in just a few

1528
01:25:08.560 --> 01:25:16.039
moments about hunger, disaster recovery, and maternal health needs escalating worldwide.

1529
01:25:16.039 --> 01:25:18.520
And this is according to a new report that's revealing

1530
01:25:18.560 --> 01:25:22.880
more than a billion dollars in humanitarian assistants delivered over

1531
01:25:22.920 --> 01:25:27.520
the past year, supporting food security, clean water, immunizations, and

1532
01:25:27.640 --> 01:25:31.279
emergency relief efforts across the globe. As I mentioned Blaine

1533
01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:34.479
Maxfield who's with us, he's the managing director of Welfare

1534
01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:37.720
and Self Reliance Services. Blaine, welcome the show. Good to

1535
01:25:37.720 --> 01:25:38.920
have you with us.

1536
01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:41.159
Thank you, Bill, I'm glad to be here.

1537
01:25:42.039 --> 01:25:46.920
Well. Humanitarian needs, as we mentioned, they're growing around the world,

1538
01:25:47.279 --> 01:25:51.600
and this new report is highlighting the response. Share some

1539
01:25:51.680 --> 01:25:54.439
insights from this report. You know, what does that support

1540
01:25:54.560 --> 01:25:55.760
look like on the ground?

1541
01:25:55.960 --> 01:25:58.760
Yeah, thank you so much. You mentioned the one point

1542
01:25:58.800 --> 01:26:01.960
five billion in humanity aid that was provided last year.

1543
01:26:02.800 --> 01:26:07.159
This took place with about thirty five hundred humanitarian projects

1544
01:26:07.520 --> 01:26:11.239
in one hundred and ninety six countries and territories all

1545
01:26:11.279 --> 01:26:15.680
over the world. Of course, the report highlights people, those

1546
01:26:15.720 --> 01:26:18.720
that are receiving aid, and also those more than seven

1547
01:26:18.760 --> 01:26:22.800
point four million hours of volunteerism that took place to

1548
01:26:22.880 --> 01:26:26.199
help in times of disaster, and those things that are

1549
01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:29.199
taking place on the ground. So what does it look

1550
01:26:29.319 --> 01:26:32.399
like on the ground. It looks like getting food to

1551
01:26:32.439 --> 01:26:35.359
those that are in need, maybe a family that's facing hunger,

1552
01:26:36.439 --> 01:26:40.600
Mothers and newborns receiving health care. Last year alone, more

1553
01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:45.000
than twenty million mothers and newborns received vitamins and more

1554
01:26:45.039 --> 01:26:48.159
than two hundred thousand pregnant women were screened so that

1555
01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:50.680
they could get the aid that they needed during their pregnancy.

1556
01:26:51.239 --> 01:26:54.119
On the ground, it also looks like disaster relief, whether

1557
01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:55.680
it's here or around the world.

1558
01:26:56.479 --> 01:26:59.600
Well, blame I can thank you enough for this report

1559
01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:03.199
twenty twenty five Caring for Those who Need report because

1560
01:27:03.359 --> 01:27:07.359
here in the West sometimes, you know, we're so disconnected

1561
01:27:07.720 --> 01:27:11.800
to not really understand how people who are going to

1562
01:27:12.239 --> 01:27:15.520
bed hungry they're waking up hungry and in pain. We

1563
01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:20.600
just we can't quite fathom that concept here in the West.

1564
01:27:20.920 --> 01:27:22.920
You know, and it happens all over and there are

1565
01:27:22.960 --> 01:27:25.960
even parts here that's you know, that's the case, but

1566
01:27:26.039 --> 01:27:28.720
that still does take place, and there is still need

1567
01:27:28.760 --> 01:27:30.399
that's rendered all over the world.

1568
01:27:30.880 --> 01:27:34.039
Well, and of course America has always been at the forefront,

1569
01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:38.279
you know, to help out and and so you know,

1570
01:27:38.359 --> 01:27:41.279
that's been our heart and maybe because we are givers

1571
01:27:41.319 --> 01:27:44.960
in so many ways that you know, still it's still

1572
01:27:45.000 --> 01:27:47.359
hard for us sometimes and as you mentioned rightfully, so

1573
01:27:47.760 --> 01:27:51.880
that even here domestically, we deal with homelessness and poverty,

1574
01:27:52.000 --> 01:27:53.399
right we do.

1575
01:27:53.520 --> 01:27:56.640
You know, last year the report highlights that more than

1576
01:27:56.680 --> 01:28:00.720
thirty seven million pounds of food that we distributed to

1577
01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:05.239
various food banks, which equates to about thirty million mills

1578
01:28:05.840 --> 01:28:09.439
here in the United States. For disaster relief, We've tried

1579
01:28:09.479 --> 01:28:13.520
to mobilize quickly and coordinate with community agencies. We'll often

1580
01:28:13.640 --> 01:28:16.680
use our church meeting houses as command centers so that

1581
01:28:16.720 --> 01:28:19.840
we can help get aid where it's needed. Most as

1582
01:28:19.920 --> 01:28:23.159
quickly as possible. For example, last year, we were involved

1583
01:28:23.199 --> 01:28:27.680
in devastating fires that took place in southern California. There

1584
01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:29.840
are other disasters that took place, of course, in the

1585
01:28:29.880 --> 01:28:31.840
southeastern parts of the United States.

1586
01:28:32.279 --> 01:28:33.880
And you know, now.

1587
01:28:33.720 --> 01:28:36.960
We're watching what's taking place in Texas. So we work

1588
01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:39.479
as quickly as we can to get water, food, and

1589
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:40.680
help people with cleanup.

1590
01:28:41.199 --> 01:28:45.199
Well, Blaine, help our audience understand, I mean logistically this

1591
01:28:45.279 --> 01:28:49.199
is an incredible operation and what has to take place

1592
01:28:49.239 --> 01:28:51.720
in terms of, you know, getting the supply chain in

1593
01:28:51.800 --> 01:28:55.000
place and you know, mobilizing all the people. You know,

1594
01:28:55.319 --> 01:28:57.600
Explain a little bit more how that happens. You know,

1595
01:28:57.640 --> 01:29:01.479
when a disaster, for example, disaster really issue, you know,

1596
01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:02.720
take us through the process.

1597
01:29:02.720 --> 01:29:05.760
If you would please, I'd love to a disaster happens,

1598
01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:08.520
let's say here in the United States, and so we'll

1599
01:29:08.560 --> 01:29:11.840
work with local agencies to see how our volunteers can help.

1600
01:29:12.520 --> 01:29:14.840
When the timing is appropriate, We'll use one of our

1601
01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:18.119
meetinghouses as a command center, and the volunteers come in

1602
01:29:18.159 --> 01:29:21.039
and while they're coming in and giving assignments to go

1603
01:29:21.079 --> 01:29:23.399
out to help someone in their home or to bride

1604
01:29:23.439 --> 01:29:27.039
some food or relief. We have five large what we

1605
01:29:27.159 --> 01:29:31.640
call Bishop Central storehouses, and we have a Desert Transportation

1606
01:29:31.760 --> 01:29:35.680
trunking company, and so we mobilize and get resources that

1607
01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:38.279
are needed. It could be things like chainsaws, it could

1608
01:29:38.319 --> 01:29:40.479
be tarps, it could be water, it could be food,

1609
01:29:41.000 --> 01:29:43.439
the supplies that are needed to really help. And then

1610
01:29:43.479 --> 01:29:46.880
we'll get the word out through our member network and

1611
01:29:46.920 --> 01:29:52.399
they will come and specifically over a weekend just render

1612
01:29:52.479 --> 01:29:54.439
aid to anybody that we can.

1613
01:29:54.720 --> 01:29:56.600
You like, throw you just throw up the bat signal

1614
01:29:56.640 --> 01:29:57.680
and everybody shows up.

1615
01:29:57.760 --> 01:30:00.680
Right, that sounds like it. You have the bad signal

1616
01:30:00.680 --> 01:30:04.640
and people come. And then people can see through the

1617
01:30:04.680 --> 01:30:06.560
flyers and other things that we put out on the

1618
01:30:06.560 --> 01:30:08.479
internet if you need help, you can.

1619
01:30:08.319 --> 01:30:09.119
Reach us this way.

1620
01:30:09.239 --> 01:30:11.600
And so they blanch out and we'll send our volunteers

1621
01:30:11.640 --> 01:30:11.960
to help.

1622
01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:14.640
And I got to imagine you're building up this network

1623
01:30:14.680 --> 01:30:16.840
over the years, so you know what groups you can

1624
01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:20.279
count on. And a lot of these volunteers they have

1625
01:30:20.399 --> 01:30:23.319
been there in service time and time again, faithfully.

1626
01:30:22.920 --> 01:30:26.720
Right, Yeah, we recognize that in times of disaster in particular,

1627
01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:29.760
we think that communities know that the Latter day Saints

1628
01:30:29.760 --> 01:30:32.760
will come and we bring friends with us. We recognize

1629
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:35.039
that we don't do this work alone, and so we

1630
01:30:35.119 --> 01:30:39.560
collaborate with organizations all over the world, domestically and also internationally.

1631
01:30:39.840 --> 01:30:43.359
Some of the largest organizations like UNISEF or Save the Children.

1632
01:30:43.640 --> 01:30:46.560
We have a long standing relationship with American Red Cross

1633
01:30:46.600 --> 01:30:49.479
and World Food Program Care and others.

1634
01:30:49.960 --> 01:30:50.479
We want to.

1635
01:30:50.479 --> 01:30:54.439
Ensure that we can get our resources properly, incredibly distributed

1636
01:30:54.479 --> 01:30:56.000
as fast as we possibly can.

1637
01:30:56.520 --> 01:30:59.520
That's excellent. So how is your focus on self reliance

1638
01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:01.079
helping build stability?

1639
01:31:01.199 --> 01:31:01.640
Blane?

1640
01:31:02.159 --> 01:31:05.279
You know, we love to partner our humanitarian projects with

1641
01:31:05.479 --> 01:31:08.600
self reliance opportunities. I see this all over the world,

1642
01:31:08.640 --> 01:31:10.920
where we can help teach a skill or a trade

1643
01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:16.000
or some other tool to help them to get better employment,

1644
01:31:16.399 --> 01:31:19.359
find a job, and demand. When we do that, this

1645
01:31:19.560 --> 01:31:22.000
now becomes a gift that just continues to give and

1646
01:31:22.039 --> 01:31:26.079
give and give. It happens perpetually. It helps their confidence,

1647
01:31:26.399 --> 01:31:29.359
it changes the way they feel about dignity, and also

1648
01:31:29.399 --> 01:31:32.119
it has a ripple effect on their children and their family.

1649
01:31:32.600 --> 01:31:35.079
When you've received the aid, you tend to want to

1650
01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:37.760
look outside of yourself and help others, and so you

1651
01:31:37.880 --> 01:31:39.680
look for ways that you can help more often in

1652
01:31:39.720 --> 01:31:40.760
your community as well.

1653
01:31:41.800 --> 01:31:44.199
Well, Blaine, how about you know we were talking about

1654
01:31:44.199 --> 01:31:47.760
these network of individuals that you've built up over the years.

1655
01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:50.520
When you send up the bad signal, they respond, if

1656
01:31:50.560 --> 01:31:52.520
somebody wants to get involved? How can they?

1657
01:31:52.920 --> 01:31:54.960
This is the greatest question that we get. How do

1658
01:31:55.039 --> 01:31:59.119
I put my best intentions into action? We'd invite people

1659
01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:01.960
to go out to a free nationwide platform that we have,

1660
01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:06.159
just serve dot org. Regardless of your background, you can

1661
01:32:06.199 --> 01:32:10.279
find more than three thousand volunteer projects every month. You

1662
01:32:10.319 --> 01:32:13.359
simply go out to just serve dot org, type in

1663
01:32:13.399 --> 01:32:16.239
your zip code, and then choose a project that best

1664
01:32:16.239 --> 01:32:18.239
fits your schedule that's very close to you.

1665
01:32:19.920 --> 01:32:24.760
And how do collaborations? I love collaborations with organizations around

1666
01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:26.760
the world help expand your impact.

1667
01:32:27.119 --> 01:32:28.680
One of the ways that we've done that is we've

1668
01:32:28.680 --> 01:32:32.800
partnered with many many different organizations, AID in particular to

1669
01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:35.520
help us in our efforts to care for women and children.

1670
01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:39.520
In those efforts, last year alone, more than twenty thousand

1671
01:32:39.560 --> 01:32:43.039
women and children received appropriate vitamins, and more than two

1672
01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:46.359
hundred thousand women were screened during their pregnancies so they

1673
01:32:46.399 --> 01:32:49.119
could get the proper aid that they need. Often we

1674
01:32:49.239 --> 01:32:51.840
take those things for granted, but it's something that's so

1675
01:32:51.880 --> 01:32:54.399
important to continue to help with all over the world.

1676
01:32:55.159 --> 01:32:58.359
Well blame. Maxfield serves as the Managing Director of Welfare

1677
01:32:58.399 --> 01:33:01.359
and Self Reliant Services for the Church of Jesus Christ

1678
01:33:01.399 --> 01:33:04.560
of Latter day Saints. In that capacity, coordinates the church's

1679
01:33:04.640 --> 01:33:08.800
humanitarian efforts throughout the world. Blaine, just a sidebar between

1680
01:33:08.800 --> 01:33:10.680
me and you. I'll let you know, my oldest son

1681
01:33:11.439 --> 01:33:15.079
is in Germany right now on a mission, and so

1682
01:33:15.119 --> 01:33:19.600
he's been back and forth because my granddaughter, his daughter,

1683
01:33:19.760 --> 01:33:23.920
just delivered my third great grandchild, so we're excited. And

1684
01:33:23.960 --> 01:33:26.680
then we got a wedding planning coming up in May

1685
01:33:26.680 --> 01:33:29.000
that we're looking forward to, so we'll have a chance.

1686
01:33:29.039 --> 01:33:30.680
He's going to be able to come back home for

1687
01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:34.079
a couple of days and experience a little bit of

1688
01:33:34.119 --> 01:33:37.039
family history. So I just wanted to share that with you.

1689
01:33:37.159 --> 01:33:39.840
So I appreciate all the great work the church does

1690
01:33:40.520 --> 01:33:43.159
in the name of Jesus, and what you're doing here

1691
01:33:43.279 --> 01:33:47.359
is just awesome. What about you? What motivates you? Blaine?

1692
01:33:48.640 --> 01:33:50.680
I love to hear your stories about your family and

1693
01:33:50.720 --> 01:33:53.319
congratulations for all those great things that are going on.

1694
01:33:53.840 --> 01:33:56.279
I love to see people that are getting aid all

1695
01:33:56.319 --> 01:33:59.039
over the world and the volunteerism that takes place for

1696
01:33:59.079 --> 01:34:03.159
those that are rendering the What motivates me is my

1697
01:34:03.399 --> 01:34:06.840
love of neighbor. We know that's a tenant belief, and

1698
01:34:06.880 --> 01:34:09.359
as we follow Jesus Christ, we look to be more

1699
01:34:09.479 --> 01:34:10.920
like him as one of his disciples.

1700
01:34:11.399 --> 01:34:13.760
Last question, I gotta let you go. Where can viewers

1701
01:34:13.760 --> 01:34:14.760

Martinez here and an old friend. It's been a long

1786
01:38:38.920 --> 01:38:42.159
time since we've had a chance to talk with Joshua Ank.

1787
01:38:42.479 --> 01:38:45.199
He's the president, chief story Officer of Site and Sound

1788
01:38:45.239 --> 01:38:49.880
Theaters and an incredible operation, and he's got some great

1789
01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:54.119
news to tell us about their latest chapter, a Great Awakening,

1790
01:38:54.520 --> 01:38:57.600
that's going to be coming out next month. Joshua, welcome

1791
01:38:57.600 --> 01:38:59.039
to the show. Good to have you with us.

1792
01:38:59.359 --> 01:39:01.840
Oh, Bill's great to talk with you. It's always great

1793
01:39:01.840 --> 01:39:03.399
to see you, so thank you so much for having

1794
01:39:03.479 --> 01:39:04.119
us on your show.

1795
01:39:04.359 --> 01:39:06.239
Are you kidding me? I mean I've been trying to

1796
01:39:06.239 --> 01:39:08.159
get you back on I think for the last year

1797
01:39:08.159 --> 01:39:10.279
and a half. I keep calling down there and saying, hey,

1798
01:39:10.279 --> 01:39:13.560
can I get somebody to talk about the latest episodes

1799
01:39:13.600 --> 01:39:16.880
and the latest theatrical events that Sitan Sound is up to.

1800
01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:19.560
So it was really I was really excited when I

1801
01:39:19.600 --> 01:39:22.600
heard you were available and going to come on. So hey,

1802
01:39:22.640 --> 01:39:25.439
so let's tell us about you know, the Great Awakening.

1803
01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:30.039
Yeah, absolutely, well, my goodness. I mean, here we are

1804
01:39:30.159 --> 01:39:34.800
right as a nation celebrating our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.

1805
01:39:35.399 --> 01:39:37.560
It's a time when a lot of people are going

1806
01:39:37.600 --> 01:39:39.920
to be talking about the word liberty, you know, and

1807
01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:43.680
they might have different definitions of it. Especially come July,

1808
01:39:43.760 --> 01:39:45.359
there's gonna be a lot of fireworks and a lot

1809
01:39:45.359 --> 01:39:49.439
of confetti flying and a lot of noise and fun.

1810
01:39:49.479 --> 01:39:53.199
I'm gonna enjoy it myself. But we really felt stirred

1811
01:39:53.560 --> 01:39:57.760
as a ministry to bring definition to that word liberty

1812
01:39:58.439 --> 01:40:02.119
and have that proceed the fourth of July, and we

1813
01:40:02.239 --> 01:40:06.560
found this incredible true story of the Reverend George Whitfield,

1814
01:40:06.600 --> 01:40:10.920
who is arguably the most powerful evangelist of all time,

1815
01:40:11.479 --> 01:40:15.560
and the fact that he became not only friends with

1816
01:40:15.640 --> 01:40:19.319
Benjamin Franklin, but business partners. This is a part of

1817
01:40:19.399 --> 01:40:22.399
history that people have They have no idea.

1818
01:40:22.760 --> 01:40:24.439
A lot of people had no idea that he was

1819
01:40:24.479 --> 01:40:26.199
a business partner with Benjamin Franklin.

1820
01:40:26.720 --> 01:40:28.039
I know most people don't.

1821
01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:32.600
Yeah, And George Whitfield isn't necessarily someone that we know

1822
01:40:32.720 --> 01:40:34.960
a whole lot about, but we certainly know a lot

1823
01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:38.840
about Benjamin Franklin. And when we learned that, it was

1824
01:40:39.239 --> 01:40:43.359
the powerful preaching of George Whitfield behind his pulpit and

1825
01:40:43.439 --> 01:40:48.399
the prolific communicator Benjamin Franklin behind his printing press. Their

1826
01:40:48.439 --> 01:40:53.000
partnership is what sparked the most formative event in American

1827
01:40:53.039 --> 01:40:56.399
history known as the First Great Awakening from seventeen thirty

1828
01:40:56.520 --> 01:41:01.560
nine to seventeen seventy and so, you know, without them

1829
01:41:01.640 --> 01:41:05.439
two together, I'm not sure if the First Great Awakening

1830
01:41:05.439 --> 01:41:08.399
would have been as massive as it was. Because of

1831
01:41:08.439 --> 01:41:11.920
Ben Franklin's promotional skills and getting the word out of

1832
01:41:11.920 --> 01:41:15.840
where Whitfield's going to be preaching. Eighty percent of the

1833
01:41:15.880 --> 01:41:19.560
colonists heard and saw George Whitfield with her own ears

1834
01:41:19.840 --> 01:41:24.039
and their own eyes. It was a complete cultural overhaul

1835
01:41:24.600 --> 01:41:26.520
for thirty years that led up to the signing the

1836
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:27.760
Declaration of Independence.

1837
01:41:28.680 --> 01:41:31.079
You know, I was going to say, no Whitfield, no,

1838
01:41:31.199 --> 01:41:36.760
Benjamin Franklin, no America. I mean this was so foundational.

1839
01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:39.720
I mean God's hand was no doubt. God's hand was

1840
01:41:39.800 --> 01:41:43.840
on these two orchestrating what needed to happen in order

1841
01:41:43.960 --> 01:41:47.560
for these colonies to come together and embrace something that

1842
01:41:47.640 --> 01:41:50.920
they maybe theorized about it, read about it in the Bible,

1843
01:41:51.000 --> 01:41:54.159
prayed about it, but God gave it substance. There was

1844
01:41:54.199 --> 01:41:57.560
no doubt that God had anointed these men and this

1845
01:41:57.720 --> 01:42:01.399
time for this great experiment, did he not?

1846
01:42:02.399 --> 01:42:06.279
Absolutely? And I think the the amazing thing is how

1847
01:42:07.079 --> 01:42:11.760
the Lord providentially put two complete opposites together, you know,

1848
01:42:11.920 --> 01:42:14.399
I mean Ben Franklin. You know, he came from a

1849
01:42:14.439 --> 01:42:19.359
religious background. His father Josiah actually wanted his tenth son,

1850
01:42:19.439 --> 01:42:22.560
Benjamin Franklin, to be a preacher, and Ben, as we know,

1851
01:42:22.760 --> 01:42:26.640
ran the opposite direction, only to find out years later

1852
01:42:27.079 --> 01:42:30.880
that he became the greatest promoter of the greatest awakening

1853
01:42:31.159 --> 01:42:34.720
the colonies have ever seen. And so it's amazing how

1854
01:42:34.920 --> 01:42:39.199
the Lord weaved that that thread, you know, together and

1855
01:42:39.319 --> 01:42:43.159
actually redeemed that calling that was originally on Ben Franklin's life.

1856
01:42:44.560 --> 01:42:44.840
Happened.

1857
01:42:44.840 --> 01:42:47.760
Even the story I'm sorry, Joshua, the story about Benjamin Franklin.

1858
01:42:48.119 --> 01:42:51.079
When you know, the colonies were getting together and they

1859
01:42:51.079 --> 01:42:54.319
installed right, they just it looked like it was going

1860
01:42:54.359 --> 01:42:57.840
to fall apart. And who was it that suggested, Hey,

1861
01:42:57.920 --> 01:42:58.920
maybe we should pray?

1862
01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:05.960
Yeah, well friendly all people, right, absolutely, and you you

1863
01:43:06.039 --> 01:43:08.600
just gave a really great insight to this film. We

1864
01:43:08.720 --> 01:43:12.000
depict that scene in this film and it's probably one

1865
01:43:12.000 --> 01:43:14.800
of the most powerful things that I've ever captured. As

1866
01:43:14.800 --> 01:43:19.199
a director for film, the speech that he gives to

1867
01:43:19.239 --> 01:43:23.399
the Constitutional Convention in June of seventeen eighty seven, when

1868
01:43:23.479 --> 01:43:27.039
the colonies were fractured, when they were disagreeing. You know,

1869
01:43:27.199 --> 01:43:30.880
he remembers a time from seventeen thirty nine to seventeen

1870
01:43:30.920 --> 01:43:35.079
seventy under George Whitfield's preaching when they were unified, you know,

1871
01:43:35.159 --> 01:43:38.600
when they had a shared experience. And now here he is,

1872
01:43:39.039 --> 01:43:41.960
you know, sitting with his fifty five other delegates from

1873
01:43:42.000 --> 01:43:45.039
all over the colonies and they are just you know,

1874
01:43:45.119 --> 01:43:48.079
fighting each other tooth and nail over the smallest things.

1875
01:43:48.079 --> 01:43:52.319
And he stands up and he gives an incredible speech

1876
01:43:52.399 --> 01:43:54.800
that is actually one of the most famous speeches of

1877
01:43:54.840 --> 01:43:59.319
his life, and it's what really broke the deadlock that

1878
01:43:59.479 --> 01:44:02.840
was present with the Constitutional Convention. So this film leads

1879
01:44:02.920 --> 01:44:05.600
up to that impactful moment, and I can't think of

1880
01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:10.159
a better thing for our nation to hear again, especially

1881
01:44:10.159 --> 01:44:14.600
before you know, we get into the July month as

1882
01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:16.640
his speech on prayer.

1883
01:44:17.399 --> 01:44:20.800
Well, and for you, Joshua, I mean, I know, I mean,

1884
01:44:21.359 --> 01:44:26.520
Sitan Sound has just been huge theatrical events and now

1885
01:44:26.560 --> 01:44:28.439
you go from there, and yes, you've done some filming

1886
01:44:28.479 --> 01:44:31.079
of the events and all that, but this is truly

1887
01:44:31.199 --> 01:44:33.600
a fully dedicated film project for you.

1888
01:44:33.920 --> 01:44:34.720
What was that like?

1889
01:44:35.399 --> 01:44:38.880
Yeah, this is actually our second feature film. And you know,

1890
01:44:38.920 --> 01:44:41.840
for those who are watching and listening, Sitan Sound has

1891
01:44:41.880 --> 01:44:45.039
been bringing the Bible to life on stage for fifty years.

1892
01:44:45.039 --> 01:44:48.000
We're celebrating our fiftieth year anniversary as a ministry and

1893
01:44:48.039 --> 01:44:50.840
as a storytelling company. And we have two theaters, one

1894
01:44:50.840 --> 01:44:54.520
in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, one in Branson, Missouri. And it was

1895
01:44:54.600 --> 01:44:56.840
during COVID that we felt like, you know, why do

1896
01:44:56.880 --> 01:44:58.640
we have everybody just coming to us to see a

1897
01:44:58.680 --> 01:44:59.399
stage production.

1898
01:44:59.760 --> 01:45:00.760
WHI don't we go to them?

1899
01:45:01.520 --> 01:45:04.359
And so we started to make feature films and our

1900
01:45:04.399 --> 01:45:07.199
first one, I Heard the Bells, premiered at the box

1901
01:45:07.239 --> 01:45:09.399
office in twenty twenty two. It climbed to number two

1902
01:45:09.439 --> 01:45:11.720
at the box office, stayed in theaters for a month

1903
01:45:11.760 --> 01:45:14.479
and a half. And so this is our second feature film,

1904
01:45:14.640 --> 01:45:19.159
A Great Awakening. It releases Easter weekend, April third. Tickets

1905
01:45:19.159 --> 01:45:23.960
are on sale right now and it's absolutely an epic

1906
01:45:24.239 --> 01:45:30.680
and immersive, inspiring film that depicts truth. Ninety eight percent

1907
01:45:30.720 --> 01:45:33.840
of this film is based on facts. These events really

1908
01:45:33.840 --> 01:45:36.399
did happen, and I think people are going to be

1909
01:45:36.479 --> 01:45:40.319
inspired and surprised about this part of the history that

1910
01:45:40.359 --> 01:45:41.840
they that they have never been taught.

1911
01:45:42.560 --> 01:45:45.520
Well, we've been saying, I guess for the last couple

1912
01:45:45.560 --> 01:45:48.520
of years anyway, Joshua on this show that we need

1913
01:45:48.600 --> 01:45:51.800
to return to where it all began. We need to

1914
01:45:51.840 --> 01:45:54.000
just do it the first beginnings, right, And this is

1915
01:45:54.039 --> 01:45:56.399
so critical and it's interesting. You know, in hearing you

1916
01:45:56.399 --> 01:46:00.560
talk about Whitfield and Benjamin Franklin, that relationship. I was

1917
01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:02.880
not aware of that, but what it brought to mine

1918
01:46:03.479 --> 01:46:08.000
was another another revival that took place in an awakening

1919
01:46:08.000 --> 01:46:12.279
that took place. We've had I think four four decided

1920
01:46:12.600 --> 01:46:15.119
revivals or awakenings that have happened in our country in

1921
01:46:15.119 --> 01:46:17.760
our two hundred and fifty years. Charles Finney says that

1922
01:46:18.479 --> 01:46:21.279
a revival and an awakening occurs when it's most needed.

1923
01:46:21.640 --> 01:46:24.800
My goodness, if we don't need one now, I know,

1924
01:46:25.079 --> 01:46:29.439
a sidebar, right, But in considering the relationship between Whitfield

1925
01:46:29.439 --> 01:46:32.760
and Benjamin Franklin, it reminds me of the relationship between

1926
01:46:33.000 --> 01:46:35.279
Randolph Hurst and Billy Graham, if you remember.

1927
01:46:35.640 --> 01:46:37.720
Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I think that that's what

1928
01:46:37.760 --> 01:46:40.239
the Lord continues to do and show. I mean, you know,

1929
01:46:40.279 --> 01:46:44.479
even with you know, the most recent revival film, Jesus Revolution.

1930
01:46:44.560 --> 01:46:46.760
I had a chance to spend some time with Greg

1931
01:46:46.840 --> 01:46:50.399
Laurie at his church this couple couple of days ago

1932
01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:53.840
out in California, and he is so fired up for

1933
01:46:53.880 --> 01:46:59.000
this film and he continues continually posting about this film.

1934
01:46:59.039 --> 01:47:00.840
He's like, you got to see great Awakening. You got

1935
01:47:00.920 --> 01:47:03.279
to see a great awakening. I think because he sees

1936
01:47:03.319 --> 01:47:08.159
the same elements that were present in the Jesus Revolution film,

1937
01:47:08.199 --> 01:47:10.319
which is this is bigger than ourselves.

1938
01:47:10.720 --> 01:47:12.039
This is not about us.

1939
01:47:12.479 --> 01:47:16.359
This is about connection with the Lord and our savior,

1940
01:47:16.479 --> 01:47:21.000
Jesus Christ, which is where true liberty is defined. That

1941
01:47:21.199 --> 01:47:24.920
is the liberty that this film proclaims on that beautiful

1942
01:47:24.960 --> 01:47:28.800
liberty bell is the verse from Leviticus proclaimed liberty throughout

1943
01:47:28.840 --> 01:47:32.399
all the land, onto all the inhabitants thereof. And we believe,

1944
01:47:32.439 --> 01:47:35.159
and actually we know that the Lord called us as

1945
01:47:35.159 --> 01:47:39.239
a company site and sound to proclaim liberty throughout this

1946
01:47:39.359 --> 01:47:41.920
land once again, and we're doing that with this film,

1947
01:47:42.399 --> 01:47:48.039
A Great Awakening. The incredible story, an unknown story between

1948
01:47:48.079 --> 01:47:53.640
the preacher George Whitfield and the all famous Benjamin Franklin.

1949
01:47:54.079 --> 01:47:58.079
And I love I love the word liberty because too

1950
01:47:58.520 --> 01:48:02.279
it comes from God. He didn't come from our founding fathers,

1951
01:48:02.760 --> 01:48:05.600
it didn't come from George Washington, It hasn't come from

1952
01:48:05.640 --> 01:48:10.800
any modern day politician. This is part of our inalienable

1953
01:48:10.920 --> 01:48:12.800
right that is God given, isn't it?

1954
01:48:13.399 --> 01:48:14.000
Absolutely?

1955
01:48:14.039 --> 01:48:17.199
And there's that's a scene in the film where Benjamin

1956
01:48:17.199 --> 01:48:20.960
Franklin is sitting across the table from Admiral Howe at

1957
01:48:21.000 --> 01:48:25.880
the dawn of the Revolutionary War, and Ben Franklin says

1958
01:48:25.920 --> 01:48:29.119
those words. He says, you know, across that ocean, an

1959
01:48:29.319 --> 01:48:32.880
entire generation of Americans have been raised up to believe

1960
01:48:33.000 --> 01:48:35.039
that liberty is not a gift given to them by

1961
01:48:35.039 --> 01:48:37.800
a king, but a right given to them by God.

1962
01:48:38.000 --> 01:48:40.880
And that's Ben Franklin saying those words. So, even though

1963
01:48:40.920 --> 01:48:43.520
we don't have him history telling us that he was

1964
01:48:43.520 --> 01:48:47.359
a professing Christian, we do know that he believed in

1965
01:48:47.439 --> 01:48:51.199
providence and the move of God. And he's a man

1966
01:48:51.239 --> 01:48:53.720
of evidence, you know, he's a scientist, and so he

1967
01:48:54.079 --> 01:48:56.840
likes to see the facts. What he could not wrap

1968
01:48:56.880 --> 01:49:00.319
his head around was this phenomenon that followed this George

1969
01:49:00.319 --> 01:49:03.760
Whitfield and this move of God that was happening on

1970
01:49:03.800 --> 01:49:06.479
the land. I mean he benefited from it by selling

1971
01:49:06.479 --> 01:49:09.119
lots of papers and sermons that made him a wealthy man.

1972
01:49:09.840 --> 01:49:13.600
But something must have sunk in because when it came

1973
01:49:13.680 --> 01:49:16.680
time in June seventeen eighty seven for somebody to stand

1974
01:49:16.760 --> 01:49:21.399
up and rally the Constitutional Convention delegates, it was him.

1975
01:49:21.800 --> 01:49:24.520
And that's what this film explores is how did he

1976
01:49:24.600 --> 01:49:26.880
get there? How did Ben Franklin get to the place

1977
01:49:26.880 --> 01:49:29.000
where he would stand up and say, you know that

1978
01:49:29.079 --> 01:49:32.600
we have forgotten our most powerful friend. You know, do

1979
01:49:32.640 --> 01:49:34.159
we no longer need his assistance?

1980
01:49:34.720 --> 01:49:34.920
You know?

1981
01:49:34.960 --> 01:49:37.560
He says, I've lived, sir a long time, and I

1982
01:49:37.560 --> 01:49:39.720
can tell you this that God does govern in the

1983
01:49:39.760 --> 01:49:43.279
affairs of man. And if if a spara cannot follow

1984
01:49:43.640 --> 01:49:47.720
him taking notice, can empire rise without his aid? I mean,

1985
01:49:47.800 --> 01:49:51.840
those aren't scripted words. Those are words from history that

1986
01:49:52.199 --> 01:49:54.960
Ben said. And I think when people watch this movie

1987
01:49:55.359 --> 01:49:59.760
and they see the evolution and the formative events that

1988
01:49:59.800 --> 01:50:02.880
took place of that man Ben through the friendship of

1989
01:50:02.880 --> 01:50:05.479
George Whitfield, I think they're going to be blown away

1990
01:50:05.920 --> 01:50:09.239
and inspired and it's going to be I think an

1991
01:50:09.239 --> 01:50:11.319
incredible move of God, not just a movie.

1992
01:50:11.960 --> 01:50:15.319
I can't wait, Joshua for it. The Great Awakening opening

1993
01:50:15.359 --> 01:50:17.600
up next month. Give us all the details and the

1994
01:50:17.640 --> 01:50:19.680
website people can go for more information.

1995
01:50:20.479 --> 01:50:22.920
Yeah, it's actually only a week away. It's April third,

1996
01:50:23.279 --> 01:50:26.840
so we keep saying spread the word. April third movie

1997
01:50:26.920 --> 01:50:30.560
theaters nationwide. Tickets are on sale right now and they

1998
01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:33.119
can go to a Great Awakening dot com, a Great

1999
01:50:33.159 --> 01:50:36.159
Awakening dot com. And yeah, I would just say, you know,

2000
01:50:36.159 --> 01:50:38.079
I'm a dad of four, and I feel like it's

2001
01:50:38.079 --> 01:50:41.079
our responsibility to help train up our kids tea and

2002
01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:43.960
show them parts of history that are not being taught

2003
01:50:43.960 --> 01:50:47.199
in schools, and also for church leaders and ministry groups,

2004
01:50:47.800 --> 01:50:51.119
lay that foundation before we celebrate the two fifty in July.

2005
01:50:51.760 --> 01:50:55.000
Exactly. I have this sense, Joshua that this is an

2006
01:50:55.039 --> 01:50:58.640
appointed time for this movie. And you know what happened.

2007
01:50:58.880 --> 01:51:01.880
When God appoints to time, you do not want to

2008
01:51:01.960 --> 01:51:05.319
miss that appointed time, do you, man?

2009
01:51:05.439 --> 01:51:08.359
From your mouth to God's ears. I couldn't agree with

2010
01:51:08.399 --> 01:51:11.920
you more. I feel I got goosebumps thinking about it. Honestly,

2011
01:51:12.079 --> 01:51:15.439
like something's happening, something is absolutely moving.

2012
01:51:15.880 --> 01:51:19.159
Well, I'm excited, I'm excited for America. I'm excited for

2013
01:51:19.199 --> 01:51:24.000
the world. Congratulations Joshua to you and the team at
