00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.320
Hey everybody, we're going to be jumping in to what it means to be an American.

4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:13.680
Why should we care?

5
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:15.920
I think if you listen in, you're going to get pumped up.

6
00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:18.800
I got a special friend with me and you're going to learn a lot.

7
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.360

Here is Jack Hibbs.

14
00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:58.960
Well, everybody, welcome back to the Jackhibbs Podcast and we want to thank you, first of

15
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.760
all, for just being part of the many people that are joining us and subscribing and we're

16
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:05.760
very delighted.

17
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.920
I have to tell you guys, I have the chance to do a lot of media and we're grateful, but

18
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.760
I don't have as much fun as I do get together with you guys.

19
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:21.360
I think it's because we can be open and just with you as though we're sitting around

20
00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:22.360
a table.

21
00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:28.720
Today, you guys, I not only have a friend with us, but you actually have a friend at the

22
00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:34.240
table today and because it is the fact that he defends and stands for our constitutional

23
00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:35.240
rights and freedoms.

24
00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:36.240
I'm talking about Rick Green.

25
00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:40.560
He's known as America's constitutional coach and that's exactly what he does.

26
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.920
He's a former Texas state representative, a national speaker, author and a radio host

27
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:51.240
and Rick co-hosts the National Daily Radio Podcast, the wall builders.

28
00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:55.360
Of course, that's the wonderful work of Tim and David Barton that's out there.

29
00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:56.360
Love those guys as well.

30
00:01:56.360 --> 00:02:01.640
In fact, that's how I met Rick was originally through David Barton and then Rick, you're

31
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.840
the founder of the Patriot Academy and elite leadership training programs specializing

32
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:14.160
in the civics with a Biblical worldview approach, which I absolutely love and I want to make

33
00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:18.360
sure we talk about that because I think during COVID, didn't that explode and so we'll

34
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:19.360
talk about that.

35
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:25.360
And then finally, Rick and his wife, Cara, they have four grown kids and this is old.

36
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.880
This is two grandchildren.

37
00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:27.880
Five.

38
00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:28.880
Now, well, who are on the ground?

39
00:02:28.880 --> 00:02:29.880
One in the oven.

40
00:02:29.880 --> 00:02:30.880
I count them as soon as they're in the oven.

41
00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:31.880
So, yes.

42
00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:32.880
That's right.

43
00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:33.880
That's awesome.

44
00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:36.880
Brother, it's great being with you and I just always get to see you.

45
00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:39.280
There's something about this man.

46
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.200
He's a, he's a win some warrior.

47
00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:42.200
I like that.

48
00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:43.200
How about that?

49
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:44.200
He's a win some warrior.

50
00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:45.200
He fights the fight.

51
00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:49.800
I love this guy's DNA and he'll fight the fight with a smile on his face.

52
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:56.240
And I can see Rick entering heaven with his armor dented and soiled and a big smile on

53
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:57.240
his face.

54
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:58.240
Mission complete.

55
00:02:58.240 --> 00:02:59.240
That's it.

56
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:00.240
That's a California thing.

57
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.240
What?

58
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:02.240
I mean, I'm a Texan, but Ronald Reagan.

59
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:03.720
He's the one that said be a happy warrior.

60
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.560
I didn't realize that for you so California.

61
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.600
Hey, and for it it's exit.

62
00:03:08.600 --> 00:03:09.600
All right.

63
00:03:09.600 --> 00:03:10.600
We'll take it.

64
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:11.800
So, where do we start with this?

65
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:16.680
Tell us about what you're involved in and I do want to hear about just the pivot that

66
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.380
happened in our nation during the COVID time where people began to dive in.

67
00:03:20.380 --> 00:03:22.280
I think they felt their rights to it.

68
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:23.280
Oh yeah, man.

69
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.280
They felt the pain.

70
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:25.280
So, let's talk about it.

71
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:26.280
It's the whole tough times.

72
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:27.280
Make tough man.

73
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.280
Tough men.

74
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:29.280
Tough men make good times.

75
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.280
Good times make soft men.

76
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.280
Soft men.

77
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:32.280
We just back in a tough times and they felt the tough times.

78
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:35.480
to do something about this. So yeah, we were getting tons of calls, okay, can a governor

79
00:03:35.480 --> 00:03:39.880
actually shut us down? Do we have to get permission to be able to even open our church?

80
00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:42.520
Am I, do I have to close my business, even though everybody's healthy? I mean, all those

81
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.200
things that you went through. In fact, I don't know if you remember this, but it was probably

82
00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:50.520
late February, maybe early March. It was right when all the insanity was happening of 2020.

83
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.880
And you came all wall builders. And you said at the time, you said, Rick, this is going to

84
00:03:53.880 --> 00:03:57.320
separate the week from the shaft. I'll never forget it. And then it happened. I mean, within

85
00:03:57.320 --> 00:04:01.400
the church, within the conservative movement, within, you had Republicans that were becoming

86
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:06.120
tyrants as well. It literally separated the people that actually believe in biblical, timeless

87
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:10.040
principles of liberty and those who it was fingered to the wind, whatever's popular. So yeah,

88
00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:15.720
it was a crazy time. We grew 400% that year. It just kept growing. And I think people are hungry

89
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:19.320
to know truth. They want to, they want some solid ground, you know, they're tired of these shifting

90
00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:24.440
sand kind of, you know, sinking really, especially for the young people. So they're looking for truth.

91
00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:28.280
And the good news is we got it, man, we got the instruction manual. God gave it to us. And our

92
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.360
founding documents are full of that truth. So we just got to bring those things back. And I think

93
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:37.000
people will latch on to it, including here in California. Okay. So to this, I want to just kind of

94
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:44.840
dial down on this. Yeah. Tell us a little bit about the fact that we as a people, we get to go back

95
00:04:44.840 --> 00:04:49.800
as the scripture says to those ancient foundations, those, those ancient pillars.

96
00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:57.480
Um, it just kind of let the, the viewer in on, as America, because so many people don't know, as

97
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:06.120
America, when you say go back to our founding and go back to the original, um, intent of all things

98
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:11.080
regarding the birth of this republic, tell the people, what is it that we're going back to?

99
00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:15.320
Yeah. As Americans, we get to go back to something. What is that something that makes us different?

100
00:05:15.320 --> 00:05:19.400
The timing's perfect too, Jack, because the 250th is coming up. So the 250th birthday of the

101
00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:25.800
nation, 312 days from right now, 250th birthday of America. So what are we celebrating? The declaration

102
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.520
of independence and right there in the heart of the declaration is the secret sauce that made America

103
00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:35.000
great in the first place. And it begins with we hold these truths. So the fact that there's a

104
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.560
foundation of truth, moral absolutes right and wrong that we built the nation upon. And then,

105
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.360
of course, we often talk about we're endowed by our creator. So, you know, they, they now tell us

106
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.800
that you're a crazy Christian nationalist. If you believe your freedom comes from God and not

107
00:05:47.880 --> 00:05:51.720
from government, well, Jefferson would have been that, right? Because he's literally saying that in

108
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.840
the document. Exactly true. And it's what made us different. I mean, that meant you're not the

109
00:05:54.840 --> 00:05:58.200
source of my freedom. Yeah. I'm not the source of your freedom. So you can't take my freedom away.

110
00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:02.600
I can't take your freedom away. Government's certainly not the source of our freedom. God's the

111
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.840
source. And then, and then he tells us right there in the declaration that to secure these rights

112
00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:10.840
is after life living through to happiness, governments are instituted among men deriving their

113
00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:14.120
just powers from the consent of the government. So what's he saying? The whole reason we have

114
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.840
government is to protect the God-given rights that we have. So the biblical foundations of the

115
00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:22.680
country is what made us great. Now, some people get nervous when we say we want to go back to those

116
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:27.880
foundations because they've been so lied to about who we are as a nation. They think when you and I

117
00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:31.400
say that, we're actually saying we want to go back to slavery or we want to go back to, you know,

118
00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:35.320
something else that was not good in our history. That's right. We believe in teaching all of American

119
00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:39.720
history, the good, the bad, and the ugly. And even when you teach the ugly, you will find that

120
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:44.680
America was actually the first nation to ban the slave trade, the fourth nation to ban slavery

121
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:50.360
completely. We had the shortest stint of slavery in the world. And in 1776, every nation had slavery,

122
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.200
black on black, black on white, white on black, white on red, red on, I mean, you picked the

123
00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:58.840
combination, right? So the American story's actually amazing. Even when you take the bad parts,

124
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.640
but what the left has done in education is only teach the bad parts and actually exaggerate

125
00:07:03.640 --> 00:07:07.080
them, make them even worse than they actually were. And so when we say go back, we're talking about

126
00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:12.280
going back to the principles of liberty, self-government, church government, you know, not thinking

127
00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:16.040
civil government is the end all be all to everything. That's what I mean. Going back to the

128
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.280
principles that make a nation great. I love what you just said. In fact, going way back, I love

129
00:07:20.280 --> 00:07:28.600
to take our church as far back as we can in the sense of the the pilgrim fathers, you know, you

130
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.840
get to remember our founding fathers talked about the founding fathers. That's right. That's right.

131
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:37.240
That's good. Our founding fathers said, oh, no, no, the founding fathers were those aboard

132
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.480
the Mayflower. Yeah. And I mean, I mean, I might be off on this, but not far off,

133
00:07:42.200 --> 00:07:48.040
the Mayflower compact is basically two big paragraphs. I mean, it's not much. Takes maybe,

134
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.400
you know, a minute to read at the most. And right at the beginning, they announced that we've come

135
00:07:53.400 --> 00:07:59.720
here to this continent to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ. And so I remember like you do,

136
00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:07.160
Barack Obama was in Cairo, Egypt, and he was being interviewed. And he had made the comment

137
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:12.760
that the United States was never founded upon Judeo-Christian worldview values. And I thought, wow,

138
00:08:12.760 --> 00:08:18.360
that's pretty amazing. That's probably what he knows. He probably, that's how he's been taught.

139
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.440
But the truth is, yeah, don't forget who his mentor was. Exactly. Oh, exactly.

140
00:08:22.520 --> 00:08:28.760
Am I right? Exactly. And so all of this stuff where you talked about rights coming from God, truth,

141
00:08:30.520 --> 00:08:36.600
man, the progressive left hates that. So they've got to react like it's poison. You know,

142
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:40.600
oh, you're going to bring back slavery and tyranny. And you're going to have women, you know,

143
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:46.200
barefoot pregnant in the kitchen again. They have no idea that this is the nation because they

144
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.680
have not been taught this. This is the nation that has been the birthplace of liberty to the extent

145
00:08:54.040 --> 00:09:00.600
that even with all of America's problems of late, people are still trying to immigrate to this

146
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:07.080
country. Amen. There are more, I looked this up, there are more people annually who try to legally

147
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:12.120
immigrate to the legally, try to immigrate to the United States by application, then all

148
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:17.640
other nations of the earth combined annually. Wow. Imagine that. Well, and we also have more here

149
00:09:17.640 --> 00:09:21.800
than the second, third, fourth, and fifth nations combined immigrants, just actual immigrants.

150
00:09:21.800 --> 00:09:27.560
That's remarkable. Legal or illegal. Yeah. So you take the next four combined, not as much as we,

151
00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:31.320
so if we're so bad, Jack, why does everybody want to come here? Well, not only that, if we're so

152
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.560
bad, why is everybody wanting to break in here? Yeah. Think about that. You can't break into Saudi Arabia.

153
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:41.320
You can't walk into London. I was in Europe not too long ago. In everything about me getting out

154
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:47.720
of that airport was biometrics and enhanced. I just came last week, Rick, or two weeks ago, I was

155
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:55.720
in Peru, and to get into the country of Peru, I've never seen this before. Both hands on a pain

156
00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:02.520
of glass, a light, like a copy machine went under the palms of my hands. Wow. Then I had to rub my

157
00:10:02.520 --> 00:10:11.000
temples and put my fingers into a bio, I forget what it was, it was some sort of bio detection system

158
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:18.120
where it matched my DNA to the finger in Peru. Peru, I couldn't believe it. We went there like five

159
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:23.480
years ago. I mean, I don't remember any. That's why I was so impressed. And then we came back to L.A.

160
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:28.440
from Lima, and it's like, yeah, come on, let's go. I'm so bad. It's like, what the hell is going on?

161
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.640
You can tell by my accent, I'm a bit of a country boy. Okay. And my test is simple, whether or not a

162
00:10:33.640 --> 00:10:37.880
nation has good principles and is producing good results. Are people trying to get in? Are they

163
00:10:37.880 --> 00:10:41.640
trying to dig tunnels to get out? And America's, you know, there's a reason it's called the American

164
00:10:41.640 --> 00:10:47.160
dream, not the North Korean dream or the Cuban dream. I mean, we have something special that the rest of

165
00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:51.000
the world has always wanted, and it all goes back to that secret sauce. And even the Mayflower compact,

166
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.920
think about it. That was the self-government. They're saying, okay, we're going to, when we get off

167
00:10:54.920 --> 00:10:59.160
this boat, we need to be able to govern ourselves. And so it's really just saying, what's the best

168
00:10:59.160 --> 00:11:03.400
way to form society? What's the best way to treat your neighbors? And the Christian principle of

169
00:11:03.400 --> 00:11:08.360
treat your neighbor the way you want to be treated is that it really at the foundation of all of our

170
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.960
laws. We just simply want to treat each other the way we want to be treated, just like the Bible

171
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.440
teaches us to do. And you're training people how to not only own that conversation, but to propagate

172
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:23.480
that. Tell us about what you do. Yeah, and how to do it effectively, right? How do you learn? What

173
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:27.400
is the Bible say about how I need to be a good citizen and a good neighbor? But then how do I do

174
00:11:27.400 --> 00:11:32.360
that within these rule books, within this system of a constitutional republic? And so teaching people

175
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.920
the Constitution, teaching them how a legislative process works. How do you testify at the school board?

176
00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:42.280
All of these things are just basically living out your faith and making politics, as Charles Fanny

177
00:11:42.280 --> 00:11:47.400
said, part of our religion in countries such as this, because as a constitutional republic,

178
00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:51.880
and you say this in our biblical citizenship class, that biblical citizenship is stewardship.

179
00:11:51.880 --> 00:11:58.040
I play that clip everywhere I go, because you summed it up perfectly. That is exactly why we go

180
00:11:58.040 --> 00:12:02.040
testify. Why don't we get involved? We don't want to be the wicked and slothful servant. We want

181
00:12:02.040 --> 00:12:07.080
to be the good and faithful servant. And God's, you know, He's dropped us into a free nation. Whether

182
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.240
we like it or not, we live in a nation where we the people are in charge. So we can't just say,

183
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.440
I wish the politicians would get it right and then go over here and be busy with everything.

184
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:19.080
We have to say, I wish they get it right. And you know what? I have a voice. I get to influence

185
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:23.080
what they're doing. So it's all about stewardship and we have a blast doing it, man. We don't do the

186
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:29.240
boring history government. I slept through those classes in high school in college because they

187
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:33.400
were so boring. You know, just memorize dates or whatever. So David Barton taught me to bring

188
00:12:33.400 --> 00:12:38.360
the stories to life. And so in the same way, we put people into a legislature. So when we do our

189
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.880
youth programs around the country, we do them in state capital. So we're on the Real House

190
00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:46.120
floor in committees. When we train pastors or military veterans or any of those things,

191
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:51.000
we actually rebuilt the Texas House legislative chambers on our campus of Patriot Academy. So

192
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:56.040
now we can do that every week. So they're arguing in a real life. Literally our diocese. I had

193
00:12:56.040 --> 00:13:00.120
some Amish Carpenter from Pennsylvania come in and they rebuilt the diocese exactly like the one

194
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.960
of the Texas House. And then I've got the Mayfly. I've got all the paintings from the rotunda

195
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.800
of the U.S. Capitol and we put those in the room so we can, you know, just point to it and say,

196
00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:11.880
well, here's what they were doing. It just makes it. It brings it to life. But if you even a pastor,

197
00:13:11.880 --> 00:13:15.880
you put a pastor in a situation like that where they're learning how to follow bill, get it out of

198
00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:20.600
committee, get it to the house floor, have to defend it, be able to think biblically but speak

199
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:25.000
securely. I mean, all of those things when they leave our campus, now they go back home and when

200
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.760
it's time to talk to a legislator or it's time to recruit someone out of their church to run for

201
00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:33.160
the legislature. There's a whole different set of skills there that they now have. So you just

202
00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:38.600
multiply that young people pastors. I mean, we're, I like to say this way, we're raising up the Navy

203
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:43.560
Seals of Civics. We're literally giving you the tip of the spear, the people that can be effective

204
00:13:43.640 --> 00:13:47.240
at this and win the day. I love what you're saying right now because it's our experience here at

205
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:52.920
this church. Now, we've been, we've been here for three and a half decades now doing this and thank

206
00:13:52.920 --> 00:13:58.840
God for people like you, although there's nobody like you. But what you've taught us over the years,

207
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.560
we've got young people now who have come through the ranks over the years. And my goodness, we've

208
00:14:05.560 --> 00:14:13.080
got some of them that are federal prosecutors now, some of them in the CIA, some of them in the

209
00:14:13.640 --> 00:14:18.120
Department of Justice under Trump's administration currently right now. We've got a young man who

210
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.320
went through our home school process, which would have meant that they went through some of your stuff

211
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:27.240
and were, and were really excited about this young man. I'm not going to say his name right now,

212
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:36.280
but he went, he was an eagle scout. He went through the US Marines and then into the the Navy

213
00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:41.720
test pilot school. And we're, we're excited because now he's, he's flying President Trump. He's

214
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:49.320
like, you're kidding me. Oh, man. Here's a kid that grew up loving, loving American history because

215
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:53.880
he understood that he was taught this. Well, and because you create an environment here where people

216
00:14:53.880 --> 00:14:58.360
don't see that as, you know, dirty. I can't go do that. Instead, that's just part of why I do that.

217
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.480
You get to do that. And then you mentor. In fact, tonight, I'm going to talk about Psalm 78. And

218
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:08.440
you guys do the opposite of Psalm 78, the Ephraimites and Psalm 78 ran from the battle even though they

219
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:12.920
were armed to the teeth. You guys do the opposite. You're in the battle. No matter how much are,

220
00:15:12.920 --> 00:15:17.720
how much you're armed or not, you're going to teach people how to live life effectively in every

221
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:23.080
area of the movies. You know, our entertainment, our politics, our education. There's nothing off

222
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:27.880
limits. You don't, you guys don't allow anybody to box something out of God's influence. There's

223
00:15:27.880 --> 00:15:33.320
no way. And you know, you know this. I'm not, I'm not telling you anything. But our, your stance,

224
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:40.200
my stance is when Jesus said, let your light so shine before men. I love that. The Greek language

225
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:49.480
makes this distinction. Let your light shine before all men. And it encompasses unbelievers.

226
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:57.080
So think about that. The one believer with the light is deployed into a world of unbelievers.

227
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:03.480
Think about that, that picture. And so when you let that light shine, Jesus wanted to say

228
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:09.400
that they will glorify the Lord or they will see your good works. And you say, well, wait a minute.

229
00:16:09.400 --> 00:16:15.800
When we go to Sacramento, Newsom doesn't applaud us out as balcony. No, he doesn't. But in the day of

230
00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:21.560
judgment, everything that we stand for for what is right, even if we lose, right? If we lose the

231
00:16:21.560 --> 00:16:27.480
battle here, we win the war. We're, we're us standing for righteousness. Yeah. It's going to

232
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:33.880
translate into victory because the issue will be Christian, did you live to advance the light

233
00:16:33.880 --> 00:16:39.640
in a dark world? When are lose? Did you advance it? You know, yes, we advanced it. And so I, I

234
00:16:39.640 --> 00:16:45.560
got to tell you, Rick, when, and I think I speak on behalf of our congregation, when we put

235
00:16:45.560 --> 00:16:51.320
everything we have into the fight for what this is like trying to stop a very bad bill that's

236
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:58.360
dangerous to family or to the unborn child, when we fight with all of our might, and if we lose,

237
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:03.960
if they, if they do whatever they do up there in Sacramento, you know what? We wish we would have

238
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:09.480
won, but you did your duty, but we did our duty. Our conscience is clear and it's up to God.

239
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.760
You know, I got a friend in Delaware and Delaware is even worse in California, brother. I mean,

240
00:17:12.760 --> 00:17:17.640
it's like crazy land, okay? And she runs the Family Policy Council out there. So she's constantly

241
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:22.360
fighting what people would say are losing battles. Yes. Yes. And she taught me a long time ago. She

242
00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:28.360
said, no, Rick, they're not losing battles. We defined victory as advancing truth. Perfect.

243
00:17:28.360 --> 00:17:32.760
So we're advancing truth and the cold tises are nice. She's amazing. And to stay in that fight

244
00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:37.080
like that and continue to advance truth, it's exactly what you just described. Is this saying? It's

245
00:17:37.080 --> 00:17:41.560
I mean, it's Texas. I lose battles all the time that we're pushing for certain things, but we're

246
00:17:41.560 --> 00:17:45.560
advancing truth every time. People that run for office and end up not winning, but they're out there

247
00:17:45.560 --> 00:17:49.880
knocking on doors, visiting with somebody, advancing truth with every conversation. It's so important

248
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.720
to have that mindset. It's that, you know, you know, the John Quincy Adam story, but his whole

249
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:58.440
thing after fighting slavery for 17 years was duty as ours results for God. So if we take that into

250
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:02.920
the arena, man, we can do it with a smile on our face. We can be happy warriors because we know

251
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.760
this whole thing doesn't depend on me. I mean, I'm supposed to do my duty, but thank you, God,

252
00:18:06.760 --> 00:18:12.360
that the results are yours. Yeah. Well, I love, I love the fact that God told Israel, told David,

253
00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:16.360
show up, sanctify yourself today. Yeah. Tomorrow, you're going to go into battle.

254
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:23.240
Show up. Show up. And God will take over. Yeah. As you said, Quincy Adam said, the results are

255
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:29.080
gods. But the thing is, why? Why do Christians think? Well, gosh, Rick, Jack, I mean,

256
00:18:30.040 --> 00:18:35.720
I really don't want to mix politics with with my faith. Rick, tell them how wrong they are.

257
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.560
Well, you know, I've started saying this and I don't know, maybe I'm being too sarcastic, but

258
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:46.120
I want to live in a neighborhood where people think that murder is wrong. I want to live in a

259
00:18:46.120 --> 00:18:50.360
neighborhood where stealing is not only wrong, there's not a $900 exception to the eighth commandment.

260
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.560
Yeah. Can you say that a little louder? Sacramento is about 500 miles north of us?

261
00:18:55.560 --> 00:18:58.840
You know, I want to live in a neighborhood where the neighbors, we're all trying to raise our

262
00:18:58.840 --> 00:19:02.200
children to honor their father and mother, you know, and it's back to that treating people the

263
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:07.240
way you want to be treated, to not make sure politics are your faith with your politics is to

264
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:13.000
basically say that you're okay with people who don't believe in those things that I just listed

265
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:17.640
calling the shots. You're okay with people being in charge of your state legislature or your

266
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:22.040
local school board that actually want to groom seven and eight and nine year olds that are actually

267
00:19:22.040 --> 00:19:27.880
okay with sexualizing these kids or creating the psychotropic drugs and the transgenders that

268
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:32.600
you had another mass murder at a church because of the hatred towards God and the hatred towards people

269
00:19:32.600 --> 00:19:38.120
of faith. You're okay with that if you don't want to make sure politics with your faith. I think

270
00:19:38.120 --> 00:19:42.520
the only way to do politics is to make sure faith with I guarantee the other side is their faith is

271
00:19:42.520 --> 00:19:49.960
and humanism and yeah. You hit the nail on the head just coming down here to be with you today on

272
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:58.120
the news. What was being discussed was the reason why this shooting yeah in Minnesota yeah

273
00:19:58.120 --> 00:20:02.280
in Minnesota at this Catholic church slash school I understand from at least right now this

274
00:20:02.280 --> 00:20:08.280
might understand it could be wrong but there was a school on the campus of a church that's right

275
00:20:08.280 --> 00:20:14.680
and this person was a transgender individual yet again said to say yet again yeah yet again yet

276
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:23.080
and so one report said this I believe it was a medical doctor they said it's we need to stop and

277
00:20:23.080 --> 00:20:29.960
look at the medications that are being given to the transitioning because it could be something

278
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:35.640
that is a precursor to violent activity yeah okay as a scientist I respect where he's coming from

279
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:39.480
that he didn't talk about morality he just said we need to look at the drugs that they're using

280
00:20:39.560 --> 00:20:45.240
to transition because there's too many transgender issue of people that are going off the rails with

281
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:51.240
these guns and with violence that said the next interview was someone saying you know why this

282
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.920
happened is because transgender people do not feel welcomed and this person just snapped under

283
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:03.560
the pressure of not feeling loved and I thought for a moment what in the world is going on kids are

284
00:21:03.560 --> 00:21:10.280
dead but this person is defending the transgender community yeah in light of this horrific event

285
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:19.720
and it's remarkable to me but when we who said this that when we forget God when we when we cancel

286
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:26.520
our relationship with God and there is no God in our thinking then people die because the value

287
00:21:26.520 --> 00:21:31.320
of life is so dramatically diminished and chaos increases there's no right and wrong you turn into

288
00:21:31.320 --> 00:21:35.240
it's actually how you end up in tyranny too because if you if there is no right and wrong and

289
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.200
everybody's doing whatever they want we don't know what a woman is we don't know what right and

290
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:43.480
wrong is we're allowing the crime all that at some point the people break and they say we need somebody

291
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.760
to come clean this mess up and no matter what it takes we want to clean and so they're willing to

292
00:21:46.760 --> 00:21:50.360
start giving up their rights for government to become bigger and bigger just to keep us from killing

293
00:21:50.360 --> 00:21:54.520
each other like you said from people from from dying yes all were the mayor up there which actually

294
00:21:54.520 --> 00:21:59.320
I blame the riots of 2020 on him anyway because he's the one that said when that first riot took place

295
00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:03.160
let them burn the police precinct and that sent the signal to the whole country you can do whatever

296
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:09.160
you want for the this summer and Jacob Faye anyway he's already you know lambasting people for

297
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:15.240
even mentioning that the murderer is is transgender and you know I mean that that makes about as much

298
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:20.520
sense that's insanity you should know why somebody you're looking for every reason I don't care

299
00:22:20.520 --> 00:22:24.120
you know whatever about their history you need to know to figure out why this thing happened

300
00:22:24.120 --> 00:22:28.760
but it and it also goes back to the psychotropic drugs even you know you go all the way back to

301
00:22:28.760 --> 00:22:32.920
Columbine I mean most all of these mass murder events in fact I would say virtually everyone I've

302
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:37.080
yet to find one where they didn't where they where they proved that there weren't some sort of

303
00:22:37.080 --> 00:22:42.040
psychotropic drugs involved it is definitely messing with the brain they are they're rewiring something

304
00:22:42.040 --> 00:22:45.960
there's no doubt about it doesn't mean it happens to everybody that takes those drugs but the

305
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:50.760
increase is off the charts absolutely but it's also just a if there's no right and wrong if there

306
00:22:50.760 --> 00:22:57.000
is no God if there is no you know if if I'm done when I'm dead that creates a different mindset

307
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:01.000
in someone and so that's why when God's in the equation doesn't mean you get rid of all the

308
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:05.800
depravity of man that's the other thing about our worldview and having faith influence our politics

309
00:23:05.800 --> 00:23:10.200
we don't believe man's inherently good we understand that man's inherently bad Jeremiah 179 the

310
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:15.800
artist evil no man can know it that's right so we want laws that actually you know suppress the bad

311
00:23:15.800 --> 00:23:20.040
and don't encourage the bad the other side because they don't believe in a God they say just let

312
00:23:20.040 --> 00:23:24.680
everybody they actually think people are inherently good yeah let them be who you you know be who you

313
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:29.480
are the whole thing about just be you man you don't want me to be me oh definitely I'll be my

314
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:34.200
depraved wretched self is that for everybody my wife my kids everybody you just died in the

315
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:39.320
cross so I wouldn't have to be I don't want to be the me I used to be what a difference that

316
00:23:39.320 --> 00:23:43.960
produces in society and the fight that I have now is not it's not with this legislator or that

317
00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:49.640
congressman or governor or this a cult or whatever my biggest fight is against the old jack trying

318
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:57.000
to come back as a man man oh my goodness so Rick um with with our nation in the condition that

319
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:01.960
it's in right now can you I know this is kind of silly but let's just kind of play this out imagine

320
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:07.400
it's just us there's no camera there's no podcast going on if our if our founding fathers were to

321
00:24:08.280 --> 00:24:15.960
land today at LAX for example and start to walk around and see what's going on uh what do you

322
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:23.400
think their their mind would what would they see in their minds what would there be reacting to

323
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:28.600
yeah well let's start with Ben Franklin I think he would say I told Ms. Powell right afterwards I

324
00:24:28.600 --> 00:24:34.760
said a republic if you can keep it why didn't y'all keep it why didn't you do the things necessary

325
00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:39.160
why didn't you listen to Washington is very well addressed religion and morality or indispensable

326
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:43.960
supports you know why we gave you all the all the warnings right we handed you this incredible

327
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:49.240
system and and you did pretty good with it for a few years but honestly that we did exactly

328
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:54.680
again Psalm 78 we didn't teach the rising generation we didn't pass the torch intact we didn't

329
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:59.240
teach them what God was doing in history I think they would figure it out really quick because they

330
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:04.760
they would they would notice that the patriotism was gone that the lack of of love of these

331
00:25:04.760 --> 00:25:09.720
principles was gone you know we used to we used to say I don't agree necessarily what you said

332
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:13.400
but I'd fight and die for your that's right to speak that because we love the principle of free

333
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:18.680
speech we would say I don't necessarily agree with your faith or your sect of Christianity or even your

334
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.680
faith in in other religions but or no faith at all or no faith at all but it's not just right for

335
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:29.560
your right to do that right we used to love the principles of of liberty and we let the education

336
00:25:29.560 --> 00:25:35.080
system teach our children I can't even name another country that did this to hate their own nation

337
00:25:35.560 --> 00:25:40.040
to hate their own literally hate their own nation hate of course as Rhonda Santa says hate each

338
00:25:40.040 --> 00:25:46.200
other and hate you know themselves I mean so the education system really is at the heart of all

339
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:51.000
of that and and we it goes back to what you said our faith no longer informed our politics so we

340
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.840
decided we weren't going to influence what was going on in the classroom and we let the left take

341
00:25:54.840 --> 00:25:58.840
over and they knew I mean you go you know all this going back to the 20s and the I mean they knew

342
00:25:58.840 --> 00:26:02.600
if we can take the education system we can take the nation and it took them a long time to do it

343
00:26:02.600 --> 00:26:07.160
it didn't happen overnight it took literally six or seven decades absolutely man's gratitude and

344
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:13.000
claw on every step of the way and we're microwave you know we want it instantly and that's why people

345
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.840
get involved they get excited for little on if they don't turn California around overnight they give

346
00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:22.040
up are you kidding me it's gonna take time take it's a long time to take a big ship yeah turn a big

347
00:26:22.040 --> 00:26:25.960
ship and for the nation the same way I mean I'm shocked at how much ground we're gaining right

348
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:30.040
now honestly I mean I would have never dreamed yeah we would have we would have gained this much

349
00:26:30.040 --> 00:26:34.760
ground back this quickly I was in I was in for a okay I'm probably gonna be dead and gone

350
00:26:34.760 --> 00:26:38.040
when the ground is but I'm passing the torch these kids were training up you know we got

351
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:45.800
but look bro there's a lot of positive ground being taken now I would argue that everything's

352
00:26:45.800 --> 00:26:51.000
for instance President Trump's doing is air cover it's temporary yeah we have to do the long term

353
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:56.040
changes locally we have to do this in our neighborhood our church is you know that's what'll end up

354
00:26:56.040 --> 00:27:00.760
lasting so yeah that's a good way of putting it and I'm so glad you said that because

355
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:12.520
there are so many Christians that I think put so much on President Trump yeah to kind of

356
00:27:12.520 --> 00:27:17.800
honestly to do what they're not willing to even do themselves yeah where he's put his life on the

357
00:27:17.800 --> 00:27:22.760
line what did he just say the other day that if he would not have run for President he would have

358
00:27:22.760 --> 00:27:31.080
been 2.5 billion dollars richer lives fortune shot at sacred honor exactly all of that all of

359
00:27:31.080 --> 00:27:38.440
that stuff and shot not shot at shot at yeah yeah I mean uh you know what though I got to say

360
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:43.640
this is that happy warrior thing I mean God's design is so amazing if he had been president

361
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:47.480
in 2020 or 2021 it wouldn't it wouldn't work we wouldn't none of this would be happening they

362
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:53.640
radicalized him to love liberty and and I love God and I love love the biblical foundation I

363
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:58.520
mean could you imagine him saying all the things that he says now if he had been getting 21-22 I

364
00:27:58.520 --> 00:28:04.120
mean it is it's it's it's literally the count it all joy when you experience various trials right

365
00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:10.840
yeah James because because of all that there's no stopping him it's listen this is so cool because

366
00:28:10.840 --> 00:28:16.440
in a normal setting any second term president now granted he had we we had this nightmare four

367
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:21.480
years in between that said that was the plan of God but that also because our people we woke up

368
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:28.280
let's be honest everybody let's back up we had net we thought Trump was crazy when we heard words

369
00:28:28.280 --> 00:28:36.840
like I'm gonna drain the swamp yeah we're thinking what fake news oh my gosh and then the guy says

370
00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:43.000
this and and we're going like really and then he's right yeah he talks about Russian collusion being

371
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:51.720
Hillary's idea and what's the her thing the whole the whole company the the dossier steel yeah

372
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:57.480
all of this stuff Trump's nuts and it turns out he was right and then Trump says this and it turns

373
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:03.080
out he's right yeah and I think Bill Maher recently said why is he always right and it's true

374
00:29:03.080 --> 00:29:07.560
the guy's right that he's even turned Bill Maher on a lot of stuff I mean when you got like Bill Maher

375
00:29:07.560 --> 00:29:12.120
saying Democrats you're crazy you got to stop doing this I mean of course he's feeling the pain

376
00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:17.400
of his party losing is really what's driving him but yeah man you're right I just I couldn't admit

377
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:22.680
it back in 2016 right I was in 2016 other I know what are you doing to us you know and Barton

378
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:27.160
actually said on the air around September that year he said Rick we had godly men like Ted Cruz

379
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:31.560
and all these guys running in the primary and God gave us Donald Trump he said I don't know why

380
00:29:31.560 --> 00:29:35.320
but they're so he's he loves to confound our wisdom and use people that we wouldn't think

381
00:29:35.320 --> 00:29:40.760
could be used bail him in the doggy right I mean that he did and and my goodness man he I have had to

382
00:29:40.760 --> 00:29:44.840
I am such a Reagan guy that I named a kid Reagan I got another kid born on Reagan's birthday

383
00:29:44.840 --> 00:29:49.480
and I used to have a dog named Dutch okay I'm I'm a Reagan nut I did a Reagan documentary back

384
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:54.280
30 years ago I mean I love Ronald Reagan I had to move Donald Trump in front of Ronald Reagan on my

385
00:29:54.280 --> 00:29:59.240
list the best press I'm let's like a club that's a weird moment man I'm in that club it is it is

386
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:03.560
remarkable and the people around him I mean you've got people there we've got pastry and one of them

387
00:30:03.560 --> 00:30:07.880
could be presidents oh my goodness it's unreal some have said I know if it's true or not you might

388
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:12.680
know some have said that this is the strongest cabinet in American history I I would say that I

389
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:16.920
would I would agree with that absolutely so it's effective there and then and then the fact that

390
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:23.080
the brilliance of having a Democrat like Tulsi Gabbard be the one to bring out the sword and you

391
00:30:23.080 --> 00:30:26.760
know I mean literally bring out the gauntlet and throw it down and and call it a treasonous

392
00:30:26.760 --> 00:30:32.280
conspiracy the things that she's been uncovering it's a masterful I mean it is an absolutely masterful

393
00:30:32.360 --> 00:30:38.920
it is I per I've per firmly personally believe that this is the grace and the workings of God

394
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:44.600
because as savvy as Trump is I had a I'm not going to say a name but there's someone that I know

395
00:30:44.600 --> 00:30:51.080
very well who is with him often and the first presidency Trump was in office for four weeks

396
00:30:51.080 --> 00:30:55.800
and I was in DC and I asked this gentleman what's it like to be with him and his first thing out

397
00:30:55.800 --> 00:31:02.120
of his mouth proved to be prophetic he said what I've learned in four weeks is never play poker with

398
00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:07.720
Donald Trump wow you're gonna lose no good look at that okay so now the cool thing so he had his

399
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:13.640
first term then there was this nightmare and then the second term where somebody might say well

400
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:19.960
you know he's a lame duck that's impossible it's impossible because the way that God set it up

401
00:31:20.600 --> 00:31:26.280
even if if Trump would have been back to back eight years elected that way people might have

402
00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:32.280
labeled him as a lame duck but those four years of Biden's like you said it earlier so

403
00:31:32.280 --> 00:31:38.520
amped up Trump fighting for his own freedom fighting for our freedom and he never stopped

404
00:31:39.320 --> 00:31:44.920
in those four years of Biden Trump never stopped working the phones and internationally

405
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:50.040
working the global leaders yeah he was always still speaking to them and he remember he was saying

406
00:31:50.040 --> 00:31:54.440
when I get back in yeah he was telling them when I get back in remember I'm going to get back in

407
00:31:54.520 --> 00:31:59.160
and he kind of put them on notice I'm coming back yeah and then he's back by the grace of God

408
00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:06.280
and so now if you think about it Rick as strong as the Republican bench is

409
00:32:08.120 --> 00:32:15.960
if if Trump lives his term out or if he were to die today when he's out of the office

410
00:32:16.280 --> 00:32:25.400
tell me in the world who's a global leader who holds the command of the world's attention

411
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:33.560
as a leader will it be will it be parliament in England is it Moscow is it Putin no think about it

412
00:32:33.560 --> 00:32:38.920
Trump is the undisputed global leader of the world right now and you can just see what his

413
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:45.240
success has been with NATO and others yeah but to me that's both great and scary at the same time

414
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:51.880
right right but we are watching someone who we'll we'll never see this again I don't not in our

415
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:56.440
lifetime for sure and and the difference in and even you you watch him and you listen to the things

416
00:32:56.440 --> 00:33:03.080
he's saying and in the first term you could tell that his legacy was at the top of his list

417
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:09.160
like how he was viewed yeah right and then during that four years of just hell on earth that the

418
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:13.560
world had to go through that interview with I can't remember who it was if it was Hannity or so

419
00:33:13.560 --> 00:33:17.560
I can't remember who it was but he's he's in this interview and that no it's Tucker he was when

420
00:33:17.560 --> 00:33:23.800
he was being interviewed by Tucker Carlson and he said these people hate America and you could see

421
00:33:23.800 --> 00:33:27.880
the resignation in his eyes because remember how he didn't go after Hillary and and and it was

422
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:32.760
locker up locker up 2016 and then in 2017 when he got sworn in they're in the rotunda he bragged

423
00:33:32.760 --> 00:33:36.840
on Bill and Hillary said nice they tried to make peace and and didn't go after him I think you

424
00:33:36.840 --> 00:33:41.400
really believe that all of the all the sniping at each other was just the campaign and everybody

425
00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:45.320
really does love America and wants to show me yeah well well are going to pull together for the

426
00:33:45.320 --> 00:33:50.200
country right and then he found out no these people really want to sink this ship and so I think

427
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:54.600
that resignation and realizing that made him no longer care so much about the legacy I really have

428
00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:59.880
to save the country I really have to save America and by so doing say freedom for people all over

429
00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:03.640
the planet and you see it in his actions even even when he was I think it was right after the

430
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:08.040
meeting with Putin he said he said something to the effect of Hannity or two Hannity said something

431
00:34:08.040 --> 00:34:11.480
to the effect of it's not about me it's not about whether or not I can bring peace this is about

432
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:15.800
saving millions of lives you didn't he didn't used to say stuff like that right there's just and I

433
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.840
don't know I don't know what his faith journey is I don't know how much that moment I think he is

434
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:26.600
to when he went down when he got up and and had that you know the the the hole in his ear and the

435
00:34:26.600 --> 00:34:30.920
blood coming out of his ear and I was like some event and everybody's watch get on to you you know

436
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:35.720
and I'm watching that click pull that clip out instantly I thought will approve George Washington

437
00:34:35.720 --> 00:34:41.400
23 years old Balaman Agahela up in Pennsylvania multiple multiple multiple multiple horses shot

438
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:45.400
out bullets in the in the jacket bullets fragments in his hair and then he writes a letter to his

439
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:50.200
brother the next day and says bullets were flying past my ear and it sounded like music he loved it

440
00:34:50.200 --> 00:34:56.440
he loved it he had the and Trump got up five I mean the war horse right that's a war horse that

441
00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:02.760
only God can use those are moments in fact you know this that a lot of Democrats said in that moment

442
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:10.120
he's going to be pretty yeah it's over it's over it's over it's over yeah wow yeah that's that

443
00:35:10.120 --> 00:35:14.920
and only God can only God I would do I want a lot of shows with with a lot of different people

444
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:20.200
of all kinds of Christian faith right and sometimes it's people that are I'm pretty charismatic guy

445
00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:24.200
but even more charismatic than me that's the only way I'm saying right and a lot of times there's

446
00:35:24.200 --> 00:35:27.880
prophecies and that sort of thing right and I'm and I'm always I'm a little bit skeptical I'm just

447
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:31.800
always like okay guy I want to know it's you right yeah yeah absolutely and so when people would say

448
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:36.440
you know Trump's anointed Trump's anointed I I never would echo that I would always be like I just

449
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:40.600
don't know if I so agree when that happened and he got up and then I started learning more about

450
00:35:40.600 --> 00:35:47.240
the where the slide normally is and where he you know they show the computer in the head I'm like okay

451
00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:53.400
God he's anointed I mean no only you could have made that happen no one you'd have to be an absolute

452
00:35:54.440 --> 00:36:02.280
atheist on steroids to say man you know that was just luck luck luck yeah no no it's just yeah I

453
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:06.680
don't buy that I mean even if somebody said okay here's a deal I really want to be president I

454
00:36:06.680 --> 00:36:12.200
think it's going to take an attempt on my life so can you lay down on that barn and just yeah just

455
00:36:12.200 --> 00:36:21.320
just crazy yeah just yeah take out a few come on just just amazing um but uh you know that

456
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:26.760
moments I don't know if you I don't if I told you this or not but that happened that happened

457
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:30.920
on a Saturday if I remember right by the way only about 30 minutes from where the Washington

458

460
00:36:40.200 --> 00:36:46.280
right there yeah outside of Pittsburgh so sorry I don't know so so that that happened I think

461
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:53.000
wasn't it a Saturday I think it was yeah yeah yeah so I came home from church on Sunday so Saturday

462
00:36:53.000 --> 00:37:01.960
Trump is shot I come home from church on Sunday and my phone rings and uh it's one of Trump's

463
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:09.560
advisors and they said I'm gonna give you Trump's cell number oh wow I'm gonna I'm asking you

466
00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:31.160
said and listen he said he's gonna answer wow he will answer the phone I said okay so I called

467
00:37:31.160 --> 00:37:37.400
on Monday morning so it was about it was about six a.m. Pacific time so nine a.m. Eastern time

468
00:37:38.200 --> 00:37:47.880
I dial a number and the the phone I hear this hello and all you could hear people talking it sound

469
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:53.160
like it sounded like he was at like uh like a ballroom event or something just lots of noise all

470
00:37:53.160 --> 00:37:59.000
this kind of stuff and he was hello and I said Mr. President and he said yes I said you don't

471
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:05.560
know who I am we've met before that's not the point but I was given your number to pray for you

472
00:38:05.560 --> 00:38:14.360
can I pray for you yes of course wow I pray for him and in the prayer I say Lord the next time

473
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:19.320
America the next time the world sees Donald Trump on his knees

474
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:27.960
may it be before you're thrown in glory and bowing the need to Jesus as Lord because the world

475
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:35.960
has seen him on his knees having been shot so Lord please and I said amen he said amen I'm in a

476
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:42.840
meeting let's talk again wow and the only thing since that time has been text yeah but the point is

477
00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:50.520
this um it it immediately had hit me that famous picture where he's on his knees his his he's

478
00:38:50.520 --> 00:38:56.520
between the legs of that super secret service agent the blood's coming down and um you know what

479
00:38:56.680 --> 00:39:01.400
what a moment we're an American president because you know Putin saw that all the world leaders saw

480
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:07.160
that they're watching that how's he gonna handle this and I would have normally been critical of

481
00:39:07.160 --> 00:39:13.320
him standing up and saying fight fight fight I I wasn't instantly I wasn't there was this move

482
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:19.160
that we all experienced internally where that's an American yeah that is an American man that's

483
00:39:19.160 --> 00:39:24.280
what got Elon Musk involved remember he said he said when I saw that I knew that's a guy that's

484
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:30.600
gonna get things done that's right you know and uh you know so even that going back to our our

485
00:39:30.600 --> 00:39:35.640
discussion about bringing back the principles if you notice the libertarians and some of the leftists

486
00:39:35.640 --> 00:39:40.280
I mean you know Joe Rogan and Elon Musk both called themselves leftists three years ago um but they

487
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.760
have I think they have seen enough of the pain and the libertarian wing has kind of seen the

488
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:49.480
everybody do whatever feels good turn into we don't know what a woman is and total chaos and

489
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.760
they're starting to come over and say you know what there's good I mean even Rogan's phrase what

490
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:57.080
was it he said I'd I'd rather have Jesus in the big bang or I choose Jesus instead of the big bang

491
00:39:57.080 --> 00:40:00.600
so he's on a spiritual journey yeah you know my friend Adam Curry I don't know if you know Adam

492
00:40:00.600 --> 00:40:05.000
or not he's the pod father guy they invented the podcast and he goes to our church in Fredericksburg

493
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:10.040
Rogan's the one the nickname man and anyway he's a baby Christian you know three years into his

494
00:40:10.040 --> 00:40:14.200
his faith and just incredibly says I'm a Jesus freak now and so he's been on Rogan like four times

495
00:40:14.200 --> 00:40:18.440
so he went on in February and he handed him the founders Bible because he'd just gone through our class

496
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:22.920
biblical please get the founders Bible folks yeah oh it's so good and so he gave it to Rogan he

497
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:26.120
said now there's a Bible but it's also got a lot of cool history history stories that you'll like

498
00:40:26.120 --> 00:40:29.560
and he then he told him about the monument to the four fathers that you know Kirk Cameron found

499
00:40:29.560 --> 00:40:34.200
and we did that in our business class and so anyway apparently he's you know going to church

500
00:40:34.200 --> 00:40:39.480
in a place in Austin so I just bring that as an example to say those are big names now Elon's

501
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:42.600
what he calls himself a cultural Christian so he's more of a Franklin that just says hey you

502
00:40:42.600 --> 00:40:46.760
Christians made good citizens yeah I'd like to see more of you Joe I think is on on a I think he

503
00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:51.480
could you know really be I think the Lord is really um luring Hillman let's just put it that way

504
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:57.560
but I those are big names that's happening all over the country there's millions of people I

505
00:40:57.560 --> 00:41:02.200
mean you know the harvest is plenty the workers refuse the revival that's already here's amazing

506
00:41:02.200 --> 00:41:08.280
and that's eventually going to impact the politics of the country if we disciple but we've got

507
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:11.960
to disciple we can't just get him to walk the aisle and that's what you're doing we've got to

508
00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:16.360
disciple that's what you're doing and I love the fact that you do not see a separation of church

509
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:23.720
and state right kind of kind of riff on that for for a bit this this is I call it a CNN revisionism

510
00:41:23.720 --> 00:41:28.680
right where hey knock yourself out on your faith just keep it in the four walls of your church yeah

511
00:41:28.680 --> 00:41:33.800
but we're over here in the real world where things happen and God says no no no and not only got

512
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:37.880
the founding father said no I mean even Jefferson didn't mean what people think he meant by

513
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:41.880
wall of separation church or state if he did he violated it the next day when he went to church

514
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:46.520
at the capital on federal property and that's not Rick's opinion I mean he just spurred that out

515
00:41:46.520 --> 00:41:50.840
and you might be saying oh that's Rick's opinion wait a minute isn't it Jefferson like you said

516
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:56.440
a moment ago wasn't the the first real mega church right there in the capital and the U.S. Capitol

517
00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:00.760
while Jefferson was president if I remember right you know you're right you're right and he had

518
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:05.160
helped start it because he was vice president whenever under Adams under and so he's president

519
00:42:05.160 --> 00:42:09.240
of the Senate and so he had to sign off on them starting to hold the church services there

520
00:42:09.240 --> 00:42:14.040
call for the Marine Corps band yes yes exactly exactly and the guy that he went to hear speak was

521
00:42:14.040 --> 00:42:18.760
his friend John Leland who was a preacher from Virginia and he said Christianity is the best

522
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:23.080
religion so I need to give it sanction from the president of the United States because we want

523
00:42:23.080 --> 00:42:27.640
more people to live like this so anyway that was that's Jefferson himself but even just think

524
00:42:27.640 --> 00:42:31.960
about it even if even if Jefferson did want quote unquote separation of church state you Christian

525
00:42:32.680 --> 00:42:36.600
even if he which is not what he wanted that we didn't believe that at all but even if all

526
00:42:36.600 --> 00:42:42.440
the lies are true just think logically about this as a Christian nobody drives away from one of your

527
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:47.320
sermons on being a good husband and a good father or good mother and good wife and on the way

528
00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:51.560
home say man Jack was on fire I was a good sermon which we could use it at home but you know

529
00:42:51.560 --> 00:42:57.960
separation of home and church there you go no way why you don't say a good sermon on how to

530
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:01.320
be a good employee or good employee or good working you don't drive away so you know I wish

531
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:07.640
I could use that tomorrow at work but separation working true why in the world do we separate anything

532
00:43:07.640 --> 00:43:12.680
from church God's supposed to influence everything in our life and be God over everything in our

533
00:43:12.680 --> 00:43:19.320
in our life but the leftist crafty man Satan's crafty I mean that was a lie that a lot a lot

534
00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:24.360
allowed us to really neuter truly most of the church in America I mean we are in the minority

535
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:28.920
within the even you know not just evangelical but the overall church in America with actually

536
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:34.040
believing that our faith should influence even our politics my God that's got to change man

537
00:43:34.040 --> 00:43:38.360
and it is changing we're we're starting to win people over but anyway that's my take on separation

538
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:43.320
church estate well I have to say this I wasn't planning on saying this but because of you and David

539
00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:48.200
Martin what you guys have poured into my life over the years I have to tell you what happened this

540
00:43:48.200 --> 00:44:02.360
week so this week I I had to I wound up giving a four hour deposition wow regarding a case and I

541
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:12.120
was a witness and so the defense attorney I was I was on the plaintiff's side so the defense

542
00:44:12.120 --> 00:44:19.000
attorney from this pharmaceutical corporation said to me I've reviewed your social media I've

543
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:25.320
reviewed your your history is it true that you teach your people to get involved in politics

544
00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:34.200
and I said yes but it's greater than that what do you mean greater than that I said it's not

545
00:44:34.200 --> 00:44:40.520
that it's just politics I said the Christian is to be involved in everything and and he said well

546
00:44:40.520 --> 00:44:45.640
aren't you aware of the separation of churches state and I said because this guy's a big deal

547
00:44:45.640 --> 00:44:50.760
this attorney yeah I mean I don't know him but the I'm not going to mention the name of the

548
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:56.440
corporation that hires him he's he can't be a fly-by-night attorney he's got to be a big deal and I

549
00:44:56.440 --> 00:45:05.080
said I I actually think you know that the first amendment says this and he said yes you are correct

550
00:45:05.160 --> 00:45:11.960
he said have you ever have you ever committed a felony and I said no I haven't and he goes are

551
00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:16.360
you sure I'm going to ask you again have you ever committed a felony I want to remind you you're

552
00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:23.800
under oath and I'm thinking what is this guy talking about and I said no and he said did you not

553
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:31.160
on such and such a date say that what I'm about to do is against the law

554
00:45:31.640 --> 00:45:37.800
huh but I'm encouraging everyone to be pro-life and to vote for Steve Garvey

555
00:45:38.520 --> 00:45:44.600
for senator running against Adam Schiff in California and in fact did you not walk out in front

556
00:45:44.600 --> 00:45:49.160
of the podium acknowledging that it's against the law from behind this this podium to do that so

557
00:45:49.160 --> 00:45:55.480
you stepped in front of the podium he was exactly right and I said yes I did and he said isn't

558
00:45:55.480 --> 00:46:01.240
that committing a felony and I said well I said to be honest with you I've been doing that

559
00:46:02.680 --> 00:46:08.200
ever since I got hooked up with a bunch of guys called the black robe regimen and I said we

560
00:46:08.200 --> 00:46:11.960
deliberately do that every year to challenge the Johnson amendment yeah and you know what he did

561
00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:18.680
this is it this is what he did he went like this he he goes he's smile he was from Houston

562
00:46:19.160 --> 00:46:26.120
huh he smiled and he just gave a nod it was the most but he I can tell he approved wow but it was

563
00:46:26.120 --> 00:46:31.480
weird when he was leading on and I thought that was your influence and your influence in my life

564
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:35.880
of course as you know the IRS has now settled that deal that you guys can absolutely do that and

565
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:42.440
it's so funny I thought much the same way you can need to call Rick Green and David Barton you

566
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:46.520
probably felt the same way when he asked it you're like I am so loaded for bear on this you know

567
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:51.400
like please ask me this question and yes I was doing an interview oh I don't know two weeks ago

568
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:56.600
with some hostile media let's just say yes sure and uh and they got and they started asking

569
00:46:56.600 --> 00:47:00.200
those types of questions and I mean I learned I was like hold my beer you know or hold my

570
00:47:00.200 --> 00:47:04.920
sparkling water whatever I was like it was just I think God's prepared us for this bro we've

571
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:11.800
been doing this you know you David Tony Perkins I mean all these guys for 25 years we've been

572
00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:16.440
prepared truly this battle right now and you feel like don't you feel it don't you know and

573
00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:21.320
that's like with the 250 is like he literally like brought all this together so that in this moment

574
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:25.000
and I don't know if you've noticed how much President Trump in the White House the stuff on the

575
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:31.160
250th is all faith based they are they've asked for every faith story we can possibly give them

576
00:47:31.160 --> 00:47:37.400
I mean they're willing to highlight everything all the good stuff I'm uh I'm super happy to be I'm

577
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:44.280
going to be on the fourth I think it's the fourth of July um but I'm at uh

578
00:47:45.640 --> 00:47:49.800
Plymouth at the Mayflower on that day given a message oh that's great and all of this stuff

579
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:54.040
that's being I don't know who's sending this this stuff up man across the nation I mean

580
00:47:54.040 --> 00:48:00.120
2026 we're asking for we've got a we've got a new course out called rebuilding liberty and it

581
00:48:00.120 --> 00:48:03.960
uses a little bit of the stuff we did with you and biblical citizenship and other folks too but

582
00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:08.360
it's it's lit we're shooting for 5,000 celebrations all over the country so that's one fourth of

583
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:12.280
the communities in America we're not even getting trying to get all of them to and and literally

584
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:17.400
in the celebration on July 4th to get up and read the Declaration of Independence read those words

585
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:21.800
we're endowed by our creator with certain things you know and then and have a big blown up on where

586
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:25.080
you have everybody come forward and signing that's what we do at all our trainings we have people

587
00:48:25.080 --> 00:48:28.920
signed the Declaration of Independence so I think it's going to be huge the president the the White

588
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:32.680
House is helping a lot there's all these organizations we're hoping to partner with a hundred

589
00:48:32.680 --> 00:48:36.840
different organizations all the family policy councils all the groups out there like that to use

590
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:40.520
this four week course because it's not enough to have fireworks that are going to fix right it's

591
00:48:40.520 --> 00:48:44.840
not enough to just have hot dogs we need between now and then that when I say the only reason I know

592
00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:50.040
it's you know little over 300 days I'm counting down because that's our that's our window to

593
00:48:50.040 --> 00:48:54.920
educate Americans on why they're waving the flag on July 4th right so you're going to be in a

594
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:59.000
that's going to be a great place so I wish I don't have enough pull maybe you do I would I would love

595
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:03.480
to be at the White House for the UFC fights that's what I was hoping for but no we're gonna at the

596
00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:07.400
campus of Patriot Academy we're building Independence Hall so we're rebuilding we're gonna be a replica

597
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:12.840
and I'm hoping I'm cutting the ribbon on July 4th but anyway that the beauty is every community in

598
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:17.160
America is going to be doing something yeah so everybody out there watching whatever's going on in

599
00:49:17.160 --> 00:49:21.720
your community get involved in those things so you can influence what's going to be said that day

600
00:49:21.720 --> 00:49:25.080
and the types of things they're going to do that's a good word what if somebody watching right now

601
00:49:25.080 --> 00:49:30.120
they're not sure if their community's planning yes all man they go to the city council meeting yes

616
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:41.720
but you don't have to do all 12 like you do your personal 12-step you just got to pick one or two

617
00:50:41.720 --> 00:50:45.880
but everybody can do something that's the thing you got to give people action right now in this

618
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:50.600
window if we do this right Jack we can rebuild actually rebuild the walls you know I told David

619
00:50:50.600 --> 00:50:54.200
the other day I said man I thought I've been with you 25 years I thought we were rebuilding the walls

620
00:50:54.200 --> 00:50:58.920
we haven't been we've been stuck in chapter two of Nehemiah convincing the king to let us rebuild

621
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:04.200
but now the king we the people the king has said go rebuild and so now we get to put the right

622
00:51:04.200 --> 00:51:08.040
bricks in place the right mortar it's all there man that's what I mean when I say he's prepared

623
00:51:08.040 --> 00:51:12.840
us for this moment all the stuff you've been teaching all these years now is the time for the

624
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:17.960
literally the apex of this part this is of being a good biblical citizen Rick will you promise

628
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:39.560
kick in until say January but start now because you know another thing you people can do is constitution

629
00:51:39.560 --> 00:51:43.800
day every school is supposed to do something on the constitution it's federal law if they take any

630
00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:48.200
federal money they're supposed to study the constitution that day but we have a little 45 minute

631
00:51:48.200 --> 00:51:53.000
class on the constitution that you can it's free take it into the school and take it say to the

632
00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:56.920
teacher or the principal if you haven't had time to put anything together this federal law you're

633
00:51:56.920 --> 00:52:00.360
supposed to do it and get them to do that class and it's going to be teaching them the declaration

634
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:04.680
and we hold these truths and all that and that's picture academy.com too please take advantage of this

635
00:52:04.680 --> 00:52:10.600

641
00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:41.560
bar just for all my friends they're worried the greatest better plans were planned in taverns

642
00:52:41.560 --> 00:52:45.720
oh man the constitution was ratified in a tavern in Delaware the first state the first one to

643
