WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840 Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim 2 00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:10.320 truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. Hey guys we can kind of 3 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.920 shake it up with what we did in part one. We're gonna dive into part two right now 4 00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:18.760 and that is do you have a first amendment? Should you have a first amendment? Who 5 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:23.360 does the first amendment belong to? Because not everybody gets to benefit from 6 00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:29.480 the first amendment. There are some qualifications for it. Let's dive in to the 7 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:37.440 conversation we left off last time together. You can get the outlines of this 8 00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:44.760 podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast.

To us that's like saying amen or 11 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:59.520 yes then that rating will encourage others to listen. Now open your hearts to 12 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:05.680 what God's word has to say to you. Here is Jack Hibbs. So here's the big 13 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:10.920 here's the big mic drop to what we're talking about right now. How do these 14 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:18.480 people get away with what they're doing when the mayor of Los Angeles has 15 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:27.000 just issued a warning that she will have zero tolerance for any pro-Israeli 16 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:36.520 protest or gatherings as a response to the pro-Palestinian. She said she will 17 00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:43.680 and I quote prosecute anyone who gathers in support of Israel. This is bass. I 18 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:50.120 forget her first name. Karen. Karen Bass. Mayor of Los Angeles. A George Soros 19 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:59.040 implant. That's pretty spectacular but how do people get away with this? Let's 20 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.760 play this out because I'm watching it happen in the media right now. How are they 21 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.240 getting away with it? Can somebody can somebody post right now? How are they 22 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.640 getting away with doing what they're doing? Disobeying the police? Refusing to 23 00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:20.600 obey an order from the police department to evacuate your encampments because 24 00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:23.480 we're going to be tearing your encampments down because they are illegal 25 00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:30.160 dwellings. You've built structures. You're camping in a non-camping zone. You've 26 00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:34.920 done all this stuff that is in violation of campus rules and of city 27 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:45.520 ordinances. By the way, fecal matter, urine, pot, drugs, not being reported in 28 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:50.280 the media. But if you know any police officers who are there, these are things 29 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:57.480 going on. How do they get away with it? Somewhere, I don't know if it's happening 30 00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:00.840 on this podcast, but if there's comments in some place, let us know. Please let 31 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:07.280 us know. The question is, how are they allowed to do this? Death to America. 32 00:03:09.320 --> 00:03:18.720 Burning the American flag. You are going to probably, and I hope our audience is 33 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:23.760 smarter than the average bear, but let's just play along. I hope you're smarter 34 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:30.240 than the media, all of it out there. Every single one of the media outlets, and I 35 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:36.600 mean them all. I've watched them. I watch them all. It's disgusting. You know 36 00:03:36.600 --> 00:03:42.160 what? You know how they're able to get away with it? Because this culture 37 00:03:42.160 --> 00:03:54.600 believes, the media believes that they have a first amendment. They're saying 38 00:03:54.600 --> 00:04:01.960 death to America. And they're not even saying it's our constitutional right. Most 39 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:07.760 of them don't even believe in the Constitution. Hey, listen, let's be honest. A kid 40 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:15.000 on USC or UCLA's campus can't even give you, can't even quote the first amendment. 41 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:28.000 So what's happening? You have the textbook classic century, century, if not millennial 42 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:40.440 long tactics of Marxism, socialism, and to be honest with you, textbook, Genesis of 43 00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:47.160 Jihad. If you study those things, the correlation between Marxism, disrupting a culture and 44 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:53.040 Jihad, disrupting a culture, they're exactly the same. Why? Because the same demon 45 00:04:53.040 --> 00:05:04.120 authored them both. It's to destabilize, create a problem, destabilize the surroundings, 46 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.440 and then offer to the powers that be the solution to the problem. This is an ancient 47 00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:15.320 tactic. Islam is perfected by the way. They'll go into a community and they'll go into 48 00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:26.440 Dearborn or they'll go into some other community and they're quiet for a while until they have 49 00:05:26.440 --> 00:05:33.200 10 to 15% of the population. Then they'll create a problem and then there'll be some violence 50 00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:38.160 and then there'll be a figurehead or two that will go to the civic leaders and say, we can stop 51 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:44.800 this in a moment, but we want to see it at the table. You want us to stop it? Look what's happening. 52 00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:52.960 And out of cowardice and desperation, the city council says, please stop it. We'll give you 53 00:05:52.960 --> 00:06:00.960 anything. And then they call off the dogs. They all go home and now Jihadist have got to see it 54 00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:05.760 at the table. People are going to push back about this podcast that I'm giving right now. They're 55 00:06:05.760 --> 00:06:12.160 going to get really upset because I am revealing tactics that are very old and common and being 56 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:17.760 used right now in the United States. God knows how successful they've been in Paris and in 57 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:25.280 London. I find it delightful though that it's not going to happen in Switzerland. I found that 58 00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:30.400 out. I was in Switzerland not too long ago and I found out the reason why they can't do it there. 59 00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:39.360 And it's beautiful. But so here's my argument to you. Here's the mic drop is I do not believe. 60 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.920 I do not believe that if I am born and raised in the United States 61 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.080 as I have been, I have a US passport, I have a California driver's license, 62 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.240 I have a birth certificate from the County of San Diego. 63 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:07.360 That allows me to be legal in this country. But can I not commit something illegal 64 00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:15.280 being a legal citizen? Absolutely. It's called a crime. In the moment I commit a crime, 65 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:24.960 what happens to my rights? Anybody know? Well, it depends on how the court case goes. 66 00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:35.600 But if I lose my case, I forfeit my constitutional rights by my actions. I have been found guilty 67 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:45.120 and thus I am sentenced. And while being in prison, I cannot go to Rome for a vacation. 68 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:54.240 I can't go to Hawaii. I'm in jail. I'm in prison. What would happen? I forfeited my rights. 69 00:07:58.320 --> 00:08:05.120 If you're shouting all the Akbar death to America on a university campus, you do not have 70 00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:10.800 a First Amendment right anymore. You have violated it. And if you're wearing a Kiefa 71 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:20.240 Kaffeea or head wrapping, you are wrapped for war. That's what it means in the Middle East. 72 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:25.600 And you're shouting all Akbar death to America. You have now just become an enemy combatant. 73 00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:34.720 You have no First Amendment right. You cannot protest on UCLA's campus and claim you have 74 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:40.000 you're doing it for First Amendment rights. You don't have it. You forfeited it. 75 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.600 Law enforcement knows this. The judges know this. Attorneys know all this. But it's not being 76 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:55.040 enforced. The moment if I went to a city park and threatened all the moms and the kids playing in 77 00:08:55.040 --> 00:09:06.560 the park, all Akbar, all Akbar, death to you, death to moms and children. How long do you think 78 00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:14.560 that would last? I forfeited my First Amendment right to speak whatever's on my mind, 79 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:21.840 whatever I want, because it's irresponsible. And in this case, criminal. You can't do that 80 00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:27.600 United States. Oh, yes, you can. Yes, you can. Because listen, 81 00:09:29.920 --> 00:09:39.920 when you violate law brazenly, you are announcing, I'm not an American. I may have been born here. 82 00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:47.200 But I'm not an American because to be an American is to choose. Did you know that somebody 83 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:54.080 moving here right now today? Hey, you know, a friend of mine was just sworn in as a brand new U.S. 84 00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:01.120 citizen. He changed his citizenship from German to American and became an American the other day. 85 00:10:03.520 --> 00:10:07.440 You know, isn't that amazing? You became an American. No one's born an American. 86 00:10:09.280 --> 00:10:14.080 You may be born a U.S. citizen, but you're not born an American. To be born an American, 87 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:21.120 it's a same as going to church. No one's born a Christian. But when you go to church, 88 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:26.400 not everybody in church is a Christian. Not everybody in the United States is an American. 89 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.200 You have to choose to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. That makes you a Christian. 90 00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:41.280 You have to choose to adhere to what makes an American an American. And so now you're an American. 91 00:10:42.160 --> 00:10:48.800 I'm Portuguese. I don't walk around saying, hey, no, I'm an American because I've read the 92 00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:56.320 Constitution and I believe in it. Does this make sense? You can be Persian, Puerto Rican, Portuguese, 93 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:04.880 German, English. If we're here now, we have agreed to obey the Constitution. We've sworn 94 00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:10.320 enough. Did you know that when people become citizens, they swear an oath to the Constitution. 95 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:18.400 Our government leaders have sworn an oath. Our public defenders have sworn an oath. Our law 96 00:11:18.400 --> 00:11:26.960 enforcement have sworn an oath. So my argument is this, immediately, 97 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:36.320 immediately all of these encampments should be torn down instantly because they have no constitutional 98 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:45.200 rights to violate the public or private property of others. It's against the law. They're camping 99 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:52.960 without a permit. That's against the law. And they're shouting out threats to the stability or 100 00:11:52.960 --> 00:12:01.840 national security when you say all locked bar death to America with the pro-Hamas sign. 101 00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:11.120 That's it's war. That's a declaration of war. So you have given up on your first amendment 102 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:17.840 right. You gave it up. You forfeited it and you don't have it by your actions. And so for the ACLU 103 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:29.520 to be walking around UCLA campus with Blue Vest saying ACLU, I'm an attorney. Ask me or talk to me. 104 00:12:32.400 --> 00:12:37.600 They're pimping the law, twisting the law because you know the ACLU is going to go, right. 105 00:12:39.040 --> 00:12:45.840 They're going to go with the anarchist every single time. So this is very well orchestrated, 106 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:56.880 very well staged. Don't be surprised. A, it diminishes, B, it continues to spread, C, it escalates, 107 00:12:57.680 --> 00:13:06.400 D, law enforcement personnel are next. To destabilize the culture, the community, your town, 108 00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:12.000 your city doesn't matter. History shows us that they go after law enforcement next. 109 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:19.120 And God forbid, but historically, if they start taking out four or five cops in your town somewhere, 110 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:29.680 where you live and your community, what you're, what do you, you're done. You are done. 111 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:38.880 Why? Because our founding father said that this government, a constitutional republic 112 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:50.560 is only, only operational for the governance of a religious and moral people. It is holy and 113 00:13:50.560 --> 00:14:01.600 adequate for the governance of any other. What you're seeing today by mayors and governors and 114 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:10.640 city council members and county leaders who are allowing this stuff to happen proves to you 115 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:22.720 that some years ago, I believe, I personally believe it started about 10, 8, 10, maybe 11 years ago, 116 00:14:23.040 --> 00:14:33.280 where our constitution began to bleed. It was bleeding. And all along these years, over a decade now, 117 00:14:33.280 --> 00:14:42.320 it's been bleeding out. And it's pretty hard today to find an operational constitution and effect 118 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:50.720 in the United States. And you can turn on the TV and watch it. What's, what's the news back up? 119 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:57.440 What I just said, it doesn't look like we have a constitution. It's pulled out from time to time 120 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:06.960 as a token or as a covering or a smoke screen. But there's a lot of unconstitutional stuff going on 121 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:13.120 right now. We're being spied on by the FBI. They say, no, no, you're not. And then the experts are 122 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.680 saying, yeah, in fact, I used to be in the FBI. You've sealed this congressional hearing stuff. 123 00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:24.240 We've got a government that's turned on its people when the very government was supposed to be 124 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:31.760 a servant of the people. We've got this remarkable time of destabilization in the United States, 125 00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:37.600 and yet we have Democrats demanding that we all turn in our guns. You know what that's called 126 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:44.960 surrendering. Now, I want to end with this. The Bible tells us in 1 Timothy chapter four and 127 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:51.840 2 Timothy chapter three that perilous times will come. Men will be lovers of themselves. And in 128 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:57.280 all of that, if you keep reading, it doesn't take much to see that part of the love of self is 129 00:15:57.280 --> 00:16:05.200 violence against others. Jesus said in Matthew 24 that indicators of the last days would be 130 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:12.320 lawlessness that there would be no love for fellow man. Hey, you may be an atheist right now. 131 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:16.000 Figure that one out and answer me on this one. Jesus said in the last days, 132 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:22.960 fellow man will not be loving other fellow man, mankind. Humans will turn on each other. 133 00:16:26.640 --> 00:16:32.720 My good news to you is this. I, I hope you are too, are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. 134 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:43.200 Everything is going as the Bible foretold it would. And yet it's sad for us to watch our countries, 135 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:50.720 because America is not alone on this. Our countries are dying, but yet the Lord knows exactly what he's 136 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:59.520 doing. And so I want you to find solace and comfort. If you've never read the book of Psalms 137 00:16:59.520 --> 00:17:05.760 in your Bible, start reading it now. Start reading John's Gospel, read it all the way through. 138 00:17:05.760 --> 00:17:10.720 Start spending more time in the Bible. Get your soul ready. Get your heart ready. 139 00:17:12.560 --> 00:17:18.400 Because if there's not a revival in our country among the church and an awakening among the lost, 140 00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:26.800 then things are going to get really, really tough. But for the believer, they don't have to be tough. 141 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:32.720 Jesus said, there's going to be tough days, but be of good cheer. I've overcome the world. 142 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:43.840 Okay? So don't worry about that. We have to be wise. We have to protect our children and our husbands 143 00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:49.920 and our wives and our homes and those that are weak and hurting. If you guys have a church 144 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:57.200 community, a family, you know, find out from the elderly in your church, you know, how can we take 145 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:02.160 care of you? Can we, you know, where do you live so we can bring you water if time has 146 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:08.800 go tough? What if all what if electricity goes down? Well, like in California, it's beautiful. 147 00:18:08.800 --> 00:18:14.000 California is awesome. We are the big freaks about electric cars. I tell you what I live in 148 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:19.760 Chino Hills, you guys. It's the epicenter. We all laugh about it. It's the epicenter of Tesla. 149 00:18:20.560 --> 00:18:26.160 Gosh, I drive a Ford and I look like a ding dong because everybody else is going to like lecture 150 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:35.600 car. But what happens in our city? Our power went out last night. Our power goes out all the time. 151 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.640 Everybody's charging the Tesla at the same time. So we can't, we can't blow dry our hair. 152 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:50.720 But boy, we got battery powered cars. It's absolutely insane. hilarious. Listen, 153 00:18:52.320 --> 00:18:59.440 everything that's going on, we're going to suffer in this world, but Jesus said that we're going 154 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:09.120 to make it. We belong to him. And we must be lovingly, lovingly kind and providing for those 155 00:19:09.120 --> 00:19:13.200 because when the power goes out, we got to make sure that grandma and grandpa are okay. 156 00:19:14.320 --> 00:19:19.760 Does that mean we buy a generator at Home Depot or we whatever, buy candles, whatever? 157 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:25.200 But it's time now to repair ourselves for loving others. You said, Jack, are you talking about being 158 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:30.640 a prepper, talking about being a prepper? I'm not, look, I'm not into prepping. California, we live 159 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.000 in earthquake country. We had a earthquake just other day. So we all tied, you know, we have our 160 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:42.400 water heaters tied down. There's a way to do that. They tell us. We all have water stored up. 161 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:47.760 We've got, you know, meals ready to eat. All of us is native Californians. You know, we at least 162 00:19:47.760 --> 00:19:52.880 have a big jar of peanut butter that'll keep you alive for 100 days because we live in earthquake 163 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:57.840 land. You ought to do that. You just thought that I'm not a prepper. I don't have a million dollar 164 00:19:57.840 --> 00:20:04.560 bunker with the, you know, all that stuff. And I don't have food stored up. And God bless you guys 165 00:20:04.560 --> 00:20:11.520 who do. We'll come to your house and eat. But you need to be ready whether a snowpower 166 00:20:12.560 --> 00:20:16.560 or water for a week or two or three. You just need to be able to do that. 167 00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:20.640 But that doesn't mean God abandoned you. It doesn't mean that God left us 168 00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:26.400 with all that's taking place in the world around us. It doesn't mean God can't keep his word. He's 169 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:34.480 keeping his word. Friend, be strong in the Lord and the power of his might be not afraid. The Lord 170 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:41.120 thy God is with you wherever thou goest. I will never leave you or forsake you. 171 00:20:43.360 --> 00:20:50.080 So what's going on today? Hey, by the time this podcast drops, maybe everything is just 172 00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:55.920 beautiful, perfect. And it's a wonderful spring day and all that's come by. I hope so. We pray so. 173 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:01.120 So father, we do pray right now. We ask you, Lord God, that for us who are believers, 174 00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:06.400 we would be stabilized. Lord, I think of a big cruise ship. Big, big cruise ship is a pretty small 175 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:12.720 thing out in the middle of an ocean. And when the waves come, that little ship that was once big in 176 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:22.000 the port, but it's little out at sea has got a trick. Has got a trick in that those big, gigantic 177 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:28.960 wings go out from underneath the belly of that ship out in the water beneath that big ship. 178 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:36.400 Are these great big, stabilizing wings underwater and the ship becomes calm in the midst of a 179 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:43.760 turbulent sea? Lord, thank you for that. You're like that. Your word is like that. We might be 180 00:21:43.760 --> 00:21:48.800 feeling okay when everything's fine. We're in port. We're in the harbor. It's all good. But when 181 00:21:48.800 --> 00:21:56.080 we get out to sea, things could go rough. But you have deployed within us your stabilizing word. 182 00:21:56.560 --> 00:22:03.600 And in the midst of the storm, we get to be stable. And may we be those who bring answers of hope 183 00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:08.560 and love and grace and salvation and give them the cross and give them the empty tomb and give 184 00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:14.400 them the love of God and give them the message that God forgives sinners proclaim that they must 185 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:21.520 repent. Turn from your sins and come to Christ is the message people need to hear. Lord, I firmly 186 00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:28.960 believe, like you did in COVID, there's a big, big, big swell of souls that are about to be saved 187 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:35.200 again. May we be ready as churches, as Christians, and Father, may we stand for what's right. 188 00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:43.840 And, Lord, may you have mercy on the United States of America. And might I add, Lord, will you 189 00:22:43.840 --> 00:22:51.360 remember the prayers of our founding fathers? May you remember the prayers of our pilgrim 190 00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:57.920 fathers? May you remember John Winthrop and what he had to pray and what he preached 191 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:05.040 and Richard Hunt and our... 192 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.960 Ivy League, I guess, founders. I believe I'm sure they didn't think it would turn into this, 193 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:24.720 but Pastor John Harvard and I think of Jonathan Edwards, I believe President of Yale 194 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:30.720 Princeton, one of the other something. Great preachers, great Christians. Lord, remember their prayers 195 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:38.000 and Lord, may we be offering up prayers to you today too as well that are straight to your heart 196 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:43.600 that they're correct and that they're right and that they're in Christ Jesus. We pray in his name 197 00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:49.200 and all God's people said yes and amen. God bless you guys. Listen, as always, we believe that it's 198 00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:53.760 time for you to live out what we believe in. It's time for real life. The world needs to see your 199 00:23:53.760 --> 00:24:00.320 witness. So go ye therefore into all the world and preach this gospel. In Jesus' name, amen. 200 00:24:00.320 --> 00:24:02.640 God bless. See you next time around.
