[00:00:32] [Applause]
[00:00:34] [Music]
[00:00:35] [Applause]
[00:00:43] hello everybody
[00:00:45] [Applause]
[00:00:48] thank you
[00:00:50] thank you who stayed up late with us
[00:00:52] last night
[00:00:54] that is awesome wow uh for those of you
[00:00:56] that don't know what i'm talking about
[00:00:59] um
[00:01:00] boy
[00:01:01] do we live in a third world country or
[00:01:03] what i mean
[00:01:05] what was that all about so
[00:01:07] we're um
[00:01:09] we'll talk a little bit about that but
[00:01:10] tonight's not about politics it's about
[00:01:12] something bigger than that it's about
[00:01:13] liberty it's about god but um
[00:01:16] it was definitely let's just say
[00:01:18] frustrating to say the least
[00:01:20] to have to wait till 12 30 to find out
[00:01:23] we don't know anything so um
[00:01:26] unbelievable i will say though
[00:01:28] remarkably the predictions we made uh
[00:01:31] all came true and um
[00:01:36] so praise god for that so we'll talk
[00:01:38] about a little bit that in q a uh here's
[00:01:40] what we do know uh is that
[00:01:43] people showed up that people are
[00:01:45] motivated they're engaged citizens rised
[00:01:47] up in a very remarkable way and i'll
[00:01:49] just i'll just kind of say one other
[00:01:51] note on this is that no one could really
[00:01:53] figure out
[00:01:54] why the turnout numbers weren't what
[00:01:56] they were supposed to be
[00:01:58] and
[00:01:59] there was kind of this missing piece of
[00:02:01] the puzzle which was that yesterday 125
[00:02:05] 000 people in maricopa county decided to
[00:02:08] take their mail-in ballot and drive it
[00:02:10] to a processing center and say i want
[00:02:13] you to make sure this ballot is counted
[00:02:14] correctly
[00:02:16] [Applause]
[00:02:22] of which the media thought that number
[00:02:24] would be ten thousand and it was a
[00:02:26] hundred and twenty-five thousand and so
[00:02:28] pretty amazing
[00:02:31] and actually you know they say seven p.m
[00:02:33] so we should know around march who
[00:02:37] won
[00:02:38] so hopefully sometime in the next week
[00:02:40] um i want to thank you guys if you have
[00:02:42] this if your first freedom night thank
[00:02:44] you
[00:02:44] this is your first exposure thank you
[00:02:46] for coming to stream city church this
[00:02:48] church gets it they are doing exactly
[00:02:52] what a church needs to do in modern
[00:02:54] america from taking biblical stands
[00:02:58] to helping the poor and the needy what
[00:03:00] angel is doing all the way up with the
[00:03:03] helping the victims of sex trafficking
[00:03:05] up in the border of arizona and utah is
[00:03:08] incredible
[00:03:09] all the way through including an amazing
[00:03:11] partnership a collaboration i should say
[00:03:14] between turning point usa and turning
[00:03:16] point academy and dream city christian
[00:03:19] which is super exciting
[00:03:21] and
[00:03:22] a
[00:03:24] non-woke biblically based
[00:03:26] k-12 school that yes you and your kids
[00:03:30] or your grandkids can enroll in at any
[00:03:32] time and we're gonna have some
[00:03:33] phenomenal updates uh coming throughout
[00:03:36] the next couple weeks for that super
[00:03:38] excited about that so before i invite
[00:03:40] our guests here i want to just talk
[00:03:42] about this theme that we've built out
[00:03:44] many times here at freedom night in
[00:03:46] america which is our children are off
[00:03:49] limits
[00:03:50] you know people sometimes say charlie
[00:03:52] what is it that motivates your politics
[00:03:55] and it really is that the people that
[00:03:58] can't defend themselves need to be
[00:04:00] defended by adults and people that have
[00:04:03] power and that have strength
[00:04:05] it is
[00:04:07] one of the things i think that motivates
[00:04:08] all of us and that is not a political
[00:04:10] principle it's a moral principle
[00:04:12] and absent biblical truth who's to say
[00:04:15] that you should protect young people
[00:04:17] it's just your opinion it's just a
[00:04:19] matter of who has power and who does not
[00:04:22] this was best depicted by a very
[00:04:24] interesting story i lived through over
[00:04:26] the last couple weeks and we have a
[00:04:27] couple videos to show you about this you
[00:04:29] probably saw it but there's a very
[00:04:31] important moral lesson um at the core of
[00:04:34] this so in tampa florida we had our
[00:04:36] second largest event ever at turning
[00:04:38] point usa we had thank you
[00:04:42] 5 000 young students from across america
[00:04:46] uh in tampa florida we had amazing
[00:04:48] speakers it was remarkable in fact a
[00:04:52] remarkable amount of young people gave
[00:04:54] their life to the lord on the sunday
[00:04:56] night worship service it was just this
[00:04:58] incredible thing
[00:04:59] and
[00:05:00] so the event was just was just
[00:05:03] mind-blowing and at one point during the
[00:05:06] event we had about a hundred left-wing
[00:05:08] protesters come by kind of saw that
[00:05:11] before whatever and then they
[00:05:12] disappeared
[00:05:13] and then out of nowhere five people with
[00:05:16] masks
[00:05:17] come out with these neo-nazi flags it's
[00:05:20] like that's super bizarre never seen
[00:05:22] anything like that i was immediately
[00:05:25] kind of taken back i told our security
[00:05:27] can we get them off the property they
[00:05:28] were on public property again you look
[00:05:30] at the pictures the flags looked as if
[00:05:32] they just came out of a container as if
[00:05:34] they were new to nazism or whatever
[00:05:37] and
[00:05:38] and i said to our i say this is
[00:05:40] disgusting it's repulsive there
[00:05:41] shouldn't be a lot in decent society to
[00:05:42] get them off the side of the sidewalk
[00:05:44] some of our students as if we you know
[00:05:46] we teach this at turning point usa went
[00:05:48] and confronted them directly and said
[00:05:51] get a you know get off here you're
[00:05:52] terrible and it was very obvious there
[00:05:54] was something suspicious about it anyway
[00:05:55] we condemned it we repudiated the story
[00:05:57] just kind of ended there right
[00:05:59] or so we thought so
[00:06:01] the amazing event 5000 students the
[00:06:04] media focused a little bit on it but it
[00:06:06] was clear that we condemned everything
[00:06:08] that happened there and it must have
[00:06:09] been a very slow news week over at abc
[00:06:12] news
[00:06:13] where
[00:06:14] uh joy behar and if we could get the joy
[00:06:17] behar clip queued up
[00:06:18] we don't boo here we pray for them right
[00:06:24] we pray for joy behar
[00:06:26] so we turn our booze to prayers
[00:06:30] we
[00:06:31] watch this clip so joy behar
[00:06:33] just decided to unleash
[00:06:35] on 5 000 students at a student action
[00:06:38] summit this is a story in multiple parts
[00:06:40] of which has been one of the more just
[00:06:43] hilarious things i've ever lived through
[00:06:44] but there's a very important moral
[00:06:45] lesson here okay enjoy this clip of joy
[00:06:47] behar talking about our event
[00:06:50] i mean there was a this charity called
[00:06:52] this turning point conference with all
[00:06:53] the smoke what are they smoking
[00:06:55] something down there or it's like uh
[00:06:57] whatever anyway
[00:07:00] they're they were out there neo-nazis
[00:07:03] were in the front of turner out there in
[00:07:04] front of the conference uh with
[00:07:06] anti-semitic um
[00:07:08] slurs and um you know the nazi swastika
[00:07:12] just like the her like goebbels did and
[00:07:15] the hitler in during the third ride
[00:07:17] she's the same thing right out of that
[00:07:18] same playbook
[00:07:20] okay so she says that
[00:07:22] and so then
[00:07:24] whoopi
[00:07:25] um
[00:07:26] the equally impressive co-host
[00:07:29] decides to chime in
[00:07:31] and says the following let's watch
[00:07:34] the conservative turning point usa has
[00:07:37] condemned the group of neo-nazis and
[00:07:39] said they have nothing to do with the
[00:07:41] organization
[00:07:42] but
[00:07:43] i'm sorry that is the right one that's
[00:07:45] my fault you could play that again
[00:07:46] that's right
[00:07:49] the conservative turning point usa has
[00:07:52] condemned the group of neo-nazis and
[00:07:53] said they have nothing to do with the
[00:07:55] organization yeah but where was desantis
[00:07:58] is where i'm on there but you let them
[00:08:00] in
[00:08:01] you let them in and you knew what they
[00:08:03] were right so you are complicit
[00:08:06] so that's a total fabrication it's a lie
[00:08:08] right
[00:08:09] so whoopi goldberg says you let them in
[00:08:11] you are complicit
[00:08:13] so then a news break happened a
[00:08:14] commercial break and we come up after
[00:08:16] the break
[00:08:17] and whoopi goldberg has to issue a
[00:08:19] correction now instead of just reading
[00:08:20] the teleprompter she decides to just
[00:08:23] make up more stuff
[00:08:25] here's whoopi goldberg
[00:08:27] i want to make a quick clarification
[00:08:29] about the neo-nazis at the turning point
[00:08:32] event they were outside protesters my
[00:08:35] point was more metaphorical that you
[00:08:37] embraced them at your thing i felt so i
[00:08:40] was they were not in the building
[00:08:44] you know what if this so-called antifa
[00:08:47] who are anti-fascists that's what antifa
[00:08:49] stands for would go there and protest
[00:08:51] then antifa would get a bad reputation
[00:08:54] that's why when i hear that antifa is
[00:08:56] that right but that's not but let me
[00:08:58] just make sure that everybody because
[00:09:00] you know misunderstanding what people
[00:09:02] say is very big yeah i know yeah so we
[00:09:04] want to make sure you i know they were
[00:09:07] not in the building but they were
[00:09:10] in the mix of people
[00:09:12] at the thing
[00:09:14] no they weren't okay it's not even close
[00:09:16] to being true so then look then you have
[00:09:18] you're at a crossroads right and so
[00:09:20] we're starting to get emails from our
[00:09:21] students from across the country that
[00:09:23] are all of a sudden getting messages
[00:09:25] from teachers getting messages from
[00:09:27] potential internships saying that are
[00:09:29] you associated with these neo-nazis
[00:09:31] immediately our kids start to come this
[00:09:33] is the power that these people have and
[00:09:35] so what we did at turning point usa is
[00:09:37] we immediately sent a cease and desist
[00:09:39] letter to abc news
[00:09:41] [Music]
[00:09:44] and effectively saying
[00:09:47] you're this is not acceptable this is
[00:09:49] not going to happen threatening a
[00:09:50] lawsuit
[00:09:51] against the view and again it's not
[00:09:53] about me this is about our children and
[00:09:56] about the reputation of our young people
[00:09:58] and so then again it continues abc news
[00:10:01] had this to say the next day
[00:10:04] sorry so on monday we talked about the
[00:10:06] fact that there were openly neo-nazi
[00:10:08] demonstrators outside the florida
[00:10:10] student action summit of the turning
[00:10:11] point usa group we want to make clear
[00:10:13] that these demonstrate demonstrators
[00:10:15] were gathered outside the event and that
[00:10:17] they were not invited or endorsed by
[00:10:19] turning point usa a turning point usa
[00:10:22] spokesman said the group
[00:10:23] 100 condemns those ideologies and said
[00:10:26] turning point usa security tried to
[00:10:28] remove the neo-nazis from the area but
[00:10:30] could not because they were on public
[00:10:32] property also turning point usa wanted
[00:10:34] to clarify
[00:10:35] i wanted us to clarify that this was a
[00:10:37] turning point usa summit and not a
[00:10:39] republican party event so we apologize
[00:10:42] for anything we said that may have been
[00:10:43] unclear on these points they still
[00:10:45] invited matt gates though i would just
[00:10:47] like to know
[00:10:48] as if that is something oh it keeps
[00:10:50] going no it keeps going so
[00:10:52] again forced to polish the whole thing
[00:10:54] we appreciate the gesture obviously
[00:10:55] under the throat of a lawsuit people
[00:10:56] will say anything so then the next day
[00:10:58] they decide to keep the story alive it's
[00:11:00] like 15 days they'll slow the spread it
[00:11:02] just keeps on going
[00:11:06] under another threat of a lawsuit
[00:11:08] because we said hold on a second that
[00:11:10] was not cleared up at all by the actual
[00:11:12] the person who smeared our students
[00:11:15] whoopi goldberg i think got a nice
[00:11:17] talking to by a two thousand dollar an
[00:11:20] hour lawyer in new york and said would
[00:11:22] be can you just please read the
[00:11:23] teleprompter and end this
[00:11:25] so here i give you the most pathetic
[00:11:27] apology i've ever seen in my life
[00:11:30] welcome back you know in monday's uh
[00:11:33] conversation about turning point usa i
[00:11:35] put the young people at the conference
[00:11:37] in the same category as the protesters
[00:11:40] outside and i don't like it when people
[00:11:42] make assumptions about me
[00:11:44] and it's not any better when i make
[00:11:46] assumptions about other people which i
[00:11:48] did so my bad i'm sorry okay so
[00:11:53] my bad okay so look we appreciate the
[00:11:55] gesture but what is the takeaway the
[00:11:58] takeaway is this none of those scripted
[00:12:01] apologies would have happened if we
[00:12:02] would not have taken a stand for our
[00:12:04] young people it is that simple
[00:12:11] their reputations matter and we were
[00:12:13] getting messages from 16 and 17 year
[00:12:15] olds said charlie you know we're in we
[00:12:17] don't know how to do we're getting
[00:12:18] smeared in our local community we did
[00:12:20] everything right and that goes to show
[00:12:22] the power of the media
[00:12:25] that these people they have no shame at
[00:12:27] all whatsoever to do that so just kind
[00:12:29] of a fun interesting chapter there one
[00:12:30] other thing i want to mention here

[00:13:05] incredible i've known bill for quite
[00:13:07] some time i believe bill is the premier
[00:13:10] historian from a biblical standpoint in
[00:13:13] america he has written well over 25
[00:13:16] books from a christian biblical
[00:13:18] standpoint talking about american
[00:13:20] history and world history i i once
[00:13:22] shared a car ride with bill for two
[00:13:24] hours and i only stumped him on one
[00:13:26] question and i must have asked him well
[00:13:28] over 400 of them from and he also
[00:13:30] connects what is happening in history to
[00:13:32] today with timeless biblical principles
[00:13:35] please join me in welcoming the amazing
[00:13:37] bill federer
[00:13:50] thank you
[00:13:51] [Applause]
[00:13:56] first of all i want to let you know how
[00:13:57] what an honor it is to be here with luke
[00:13:59] and angel and pastor tommy barnett god
[00:14:02] bless you and the tremendous work that
[00:14:04] you have here at dream city
[00:14:07] so bill i've been following you for
[00:14:09] years we've shared so much time together
[00:14:12] you have the ability to be able to
[00:14:13] analyze the arc of history and then be
[00:14:16] able to apply it to today i've asked you
[00:14:18] this question before in our podcast but
[00:14:20] i think it's really important for our
[00:14:21] audience to hear this what makes america
[00:14:24] different
[00:14:26] and exceptional from a biblical
[00:14:28] standpoint and historical standpoint is
[00:14:30] america like every other nation that's
[00:14:32] been on the face of the earth and if not
[00:14:33] why
[00:14:35] in in answering that i
[00:14:37] decided i would research every century
[00:14:40] of recorded human history to see what
[00:14:42] the most common form of government was
[00:14:45] so i went back to sumerian cuneiform on
[00:14:47] clay tablets and the elamites and the
[00:14:50] persians and the greeks and romans and
[00:14:51] the most common form of government in
[00:14:53] world history is kings
[00:14:55] hands down it's kings uh nimrod tower
[00:14:59] babel pharaoh caesars power wants to
[00:15:01] concentrate into the hands of one person
[00:15:03] it's no different than you put some kids
[00:15:05] on a playground and one's the bully you
[00:15:08] put some junior high girls in a click
[00:15:09] and one of them is the diva you put some
[00:15:12] people in the woods one of them is an
[00:15:13] indian chief you put them in an inner
[00:15:15] city one of them is a gang leader and
[00:15:17] all a king is is a glorified gang leader
[00:15:20] and it's a hierarchical system if you
[00:15:22] are friends with the king you are more
[00:15:24] equal
[00:15:25] if you are not friends with the king you
[00:15:27] are less equal and if you're an enemy of
[00:15:29] the king uh you're a slave or you're
[00:15:32] dead i thought slavery started in 1619
[00:15:35] no wherever you had the first king on
[00:15:36] top you had slaves on the bottom
[00:15:39] and
[00:15:40] this
[00:15:41] model continued
[00:15:43] with technological advancements kings
[00:15:46] could kill more people right so instead
[00:15:48] of cane killing naval with a stone
[00:15:50] they're killing with a bronze weapon or
[00:15:51] an iron weapon or a failing spear
[00:15:53] symmeter sword gunpowder the weapon
[00:15:54] improves but it's that same fallen
[00:15:56] nature cane kill enable and um
[00:15:59] also with technological advancements
[00:16:01] kings could track more people
[00:16:05] do you know augustus caesar wanted to
[00:16:08] have a worldwide tracking system
[00:16:10] it was called the census that was like
[00:16:12] modern technology 25 bc right he wanted
[00:16:15] to count if he could have had 5g and
[00:16:17] cell phones and cameras he would attract
[00:16:18] them that way
[00:16:20] but as the centers go on the king of
[00:16:23] england had the biggest empire that
[00:16:25] planet earth had ever seen 13
[00:16:28] million billion square miles half a
[00:16:29] billion people anyway it's um
[00:16:32] the sun never set on the british empire
[00:16:34] the king of england was a globalist he
[00:16:35] was a one world government guy with him
[00:16:37] at the top and america's founders
[00:16:39] decided they didn't like this one world
[00:16:40] government guy telling us what to do we
[00:16:42] broke away and flipped it
[00:16:44] and made the people the king
[00:16:46] so the word citizen is greek it means
[00:16:48] co-king
[00:16:51] and where did the founders get these
[00:16:52] ideas from the new england pastors where
[00:16:54] did they get their ideas from the bible
[00:16:56] what part of the bible that first 400
[00:16:57] years out of egypt before king saul
[00:17:01] so it stands out as an anomaly in world
[00:17:03] history
[00:17:04] around
[00:17:05] you know uh 1400 bc or so you have
[00:17:09] several million israelites come out of
[00:17:11] egypt and for 400 years they do not have
[00:17:14] a king
[00:17:15] and it worked because every citizen was
[00:17:18] taught the law
[00:17:20] and every one of them was personally
[00:17:22] accountable to god to follow the law
[00:17:25] so you have an opportunity to steal
[00:17:26] nobody's around then you think god's
[00:17:28] watching me he wants me to be fair he's
[00:17:30] going to hold me accountable in the
[00:17:31] future maybe i should hesitate stealing
[00:17:34] and it creates something in your head
[00:17:36] called the conscience
[00:17:38] if everybody in the country believes
[00:17:40] this you can maintain complete order
[00:17:42] with no police
[00:17:43] and that's i use a little analogy we all
[00:17:46] have cell phones and uh you have gps
[00:17:49] tells you where to turn imagine if there
[00:17:51] was a behavioral app
[00:17:54] that could tell you how to act in real
[00:17:56] time
[00:17:57] right it monitors your blood pressure
[00:17:59] it's it in the volume of your voice and
[00:18:01] it sees you're about to lose your temper
[00:18:02] and it says alert don't blow it don't
[00:18:04] lose your temper
[00:18:05] and then it monitors your bank account
[00:18:07] sees it's a little low and it sees
[00:18:08] you're an expensive store and then
[00:18:09] there's nobody already exists bill i
[00:18:11] don't know i don't know
[00:18:14] and there's nobody in the vicinity and
[00:18:15] it runs this algorithm you're being
[00:18:16] tempted to steal says alert alert don't
[00:18:18] steal and so the law
[00:18:22] was like a behavioral app and the levite
[00:18:24] priests were the computer geeks that
[00:18:26] help you to download the app right line
[00:18:28] up online preach about press here you
[00:18:30] know google store apple play whatever
[00:18:32] but then the big question is why would
[00:18:33] you follow it what would motivate you to
[00:18:36] follow an internal moral
[00:18:38] ancient israel had the key ingredient
[00:18:41] there is a god who is watching everyone
[00:18:44] he wants you to be fair and he's going
[00:18:46] to hold you accountable in the future
[00:18:48] right and so this is what america's
[00:18:50] founders new england pastors look to as
[00:18:52] the model that's why they taught hebrew
[00:18:54] at yale and harvard
[00:18:55] and so we let we took the power of the
[00:18:58] king we separated it into the hands of
[00:19:00] the people would be chaos unless each
[00:19:01] person has taught the law what follow
[00:19:03] motivates them to follow the law is
[00:19:05] there accountable to god
[00:19:07] this is what makes america unique from
[00:19:09] the rest of the world
[00:19:11] now in israel's case
[00:19:13] i'm sort of rambling is this okay no i
[00:19:16] think people are taking notes
[00:19:23] so in israel's case the priest stopped
[00:19:25] teaching the law
[00:19:27] eli the high priest his own sons are
[00:19:29] sleeping with women in the very tent
[00:19:31] where the ark of the covenant is there's
[00:19:33] another levite with a silver graven
[00:19:35] image in the house of a guy named micah
[00:19:37] the tribe of dan comes along steals the
[00:19:39] graven image tells us lee like hey you
[00:19:41] can be a priest or a whole tribe and
[00:19:42] you're reading the story scratching your
[00:19:44] head saying what is this levite doing
[00:19:46] with a graven image isn't it isn't it
[00:19:48] one of the commandments you're not
[00:19:49] supposed to have them
[00:19:50] and then there's the terrible story of a
[00:19:52] levite with a concubine
[00:19:54] and the law says the levites to marry a
[00:19:56] virgin of his own tribe here he is with
[00:19:58] the woman he's not even married to so
[00:19:59] he's not following the law and the house
[00:20:01] there traveling is surrounded by
[00:20:04] sodomites something about that behavior
[00:20:07] this abandonment to passion this casting
[00:20:10] off of self-restraint they bang on the
[00:20:12] door rape the poor girl to death and by
[00:20:14] the time you're grossed out you read
[00:20:15] this line every man did that which was
[00:20:17] right in their own eyes
[00:20:19] why because the priest stopped teaching
[00:20:20] them what was right in the lord's eyes
[00:20:22] and that sounds a lot like where we're
[00:20:23] heading to today and so bill some people
[00:20:25] will say
[00:20:26] that there's nothing exceptional about
[00:20:29] america and that america is not a
[00:20:31] christian nation tell us why that is
[00:20:33] historically incorrect
[00:20:36] so um muslims invading europe uh the
[00:20:39] catholic king of spain tries to stop him
[00:20:42] can't then martin luther starts the
[00:20:43] reformation and the king of spain tries
[00:20:46] to stop that and he can't he finally
[00:20:47] makes a deal with the the protestants
[00:20:49] and he it's called a piece of augsburg
[00:20:51] of 1555.
[00:20:53] i took german in college and you know
[00:20:55] how to say 1555 in german
[00:20:58] 5 thousand 400 from
[00:21:01] think it sounds funny
[00:21:03] anyway
[00:21:05] 1555 piece of oxford it let every king
[00:21:08] decide what's going to be believed in
[00:21:09] his kingdom
[00:21:10] and so suddenly europe you had england
[00:21:13] be an anglican scotland being
[00:21:14] presbyterian holland being dutch reform
[00:21:16] greece being greece or orthodox germany
[00:21:19] being lutheran switzerland calvinist and
[00:21:21] italy spain france et cetera catholic
[00:21:23] and if you didn't believe the way your
[00:21:24] king did you fled
[00:21:26] and those were the people that spilled
[00:21:28] over and founded colonies in america so
[00:21:30] i read through every charter of every
[00:21:32] colony
[00:21:34] england
[00:21:35] you had the
[00:21:36] anglicans founded virginia
[00:21:39] puritans founded massachusetts
[00:21:42] congregationalists founded connecticut
[00:21:44] and new hampshire
[00:21:46] baptist founded rhode island
[00:21:49] dutch reform founded new york
[00:21:52] and the swedish lutherans founded
[00:21:54] delaware and new jersey and
[00:21:56] catholics founded maryland and then the
[00:21:59] quakers founded pennsylvania
[00:22:01] so just like europe there was a
[00:22:02] different denomination per country in
[00:22:04] america it was more or less a different
[00:22:06] denomination per colony and they didn't
[00:22:08] get along and they would tar and feather
[00:22:10] each other
[00:22:11] and then they had to join together to
[00:22:13] fight the king of england
[00:22:15] very similar to the piece of augsburg
[00:22:17] with the catholics and the protestants
[00:22:18] had to fight together against these
[00:22:19] invading muslims
[00:22:21] and so after the
[00:22:24] revolutionary war the attitude changed
[00:22:27] to we may not always agree on religion
[00:22:30] but you are willing to fight and die for
[00:22:32] my freedom i need to let you practice
[00:22:33] your faith
[00:22:34] so they began to tolerate each other and
[00:22:36] then eventually turned into us
[00:22:38] tolerating other people of other faiths
[00:22:40] but
[00:22:41] it was christians that founded the
[00:22:42] country
[00:22:43] and um and then i read through every
[00:22:46] state constitution and every amendment
[00:22:49] and revision to every state constitution
[00:22:51] i have trouble sleeping i guess you can
[00:22:53] tell and um
[00:22:55] did you know nine of the original states
[00:22:58] of the 13 nine of them in their state
[00:23:00] constitution required all office holders
[00:23:03] to be protestant christians
[00:23:06] did you know three states were more
[00:23:08] liberal and all you had to do was be a
[00:23:10] plain christian
[00:23:13] right like delaware every office holder
[00:23:15] had to believe in god the father jesus
[00:23:17] christ was always on the holy ghost one
[00:23:18] god bless her ever more you said that
[00:23:20] was that was plain that was yeah that's
[00:23:22] pretty liberal because you could be a
[00:23:23] catholic or a protestant and say yeah i
[00:23:25] believe in father son the holy ghost
[00:23:27] whereas in north carolina you had to be
[00:23:29] a protestant christian up until 1835.
[00:23:32] and um and one state had zero religious
[00:23:36] requirements to hold state office rhode
[00:23:38] island founded by baptists and they said
[00:23:41] that if you required someone to be a
[00:23:43] christian
[00:23:44] they could say they were just to get
[00:23:45] elected and that would be hypocritical
[00:23:47] so just vote for the best christian
[00:23:48] person you know we're not going to put
[00:23:49] it in the constitution
[00:23:51] so that was the founding it was those
[00:23:53] states that sent representatives to
[00:23:56] write our u.s constitution
[00:23:58] it makes no sense to think they would
[00:24:01] outlaw themselves so bill some people
[00:24:03] will say that's that's all fine and well
[00:24:05] but what we need is separation of church
[00:24:06] and state
[00:24:08] and i got in a debate with a professor
[00:24:10] from wheaton college in massachusetts
[00:24:12] where she said that's in the
[00:24:13] constitution where do we get such an
[00:24:15] idea as separation of church and state
[00:24:18] uh it is interesting um where the
[00:24:21] etymology of that comes from so the
[00:24:23] first century of america you had
[00:24:26] calvinist denominations founding
[00:24:29] colonies
[00:24:30] and the basic calvinist thought
[00:24:33] is that god has a plan for your life
[00:24:36] your marriage your family your church
[00:24:38] your government
[00:24:40] dig in the scriptures find out what
[00:24:42] god's plan is put it into place pretty
[00:24:44] simple
[00:24:45] but
[00:24:46] in the early 1700s you had lutheran
[00:24:49] pietists come to america
[00:24:52] now why are they different
[00:24:54] 1517 martin luther starts the
[00:24:57] reformation and he stands at the
[00:25:00] council of diet of worms i don't know
[00:25:02] that's why would they name something
[00:25:04] that diet of worms but it was a court
[00:25:06] hearing and um
[00:25:09] and martin luther says unless you can
[00:25:11] prove me wrong from the scriptures here
[00:25:13] i stand so help me god it was a very
[00:25:16] personal revelation to martin luther
[00:25:19] and um
[00:25:20] but some german princes wanted to break
[00:25:22] away from rome and they said this is our
[00:25:24] chance kingdom of mind guess what you're
[00:25:27] all now lutheran
[00:25:28] and so the people in these kingdoms said
[00:25:30] okay king where lutheran uh what do we
[00:25:31] believe
[00:25:33] so for the people in the kingdoms it's
[00:25:35] not the same personal revelation that
[00:25:37] martin luther had it's just a new state
[00:25:38] doctrine a little more scriptural based
[00:25:40] but it's just another state doctrine and
[00:25:42] so a revival movement starts called
[00:25:43] pietism
[00:25:44] that said being a christian is more than
[00:25:46] state doctrine you have to have an
[00:25:48] experience with jesus and when you do
[00:25:51] your life will change and you won't do
[00:25:53] the worldly things you used to do like
[00:25:56] go to bars and brothels and loot theater
[00:25:58] and get involved in government
[00:26:01] wait
[00:26:03] what was that last thing yeah
[00:26:04] government's filled full of worldly
[00:26:06] people and so if you're really christian
[00:26:07] and you're really spiritual you won't
[00:26:09] get involved in government
[00:26:10] there were actually german princes
[00:26:14] that would donate money to the pietists
[00:26:17] so they would teach their followers not
[00:26:19] to get involved in the prince's business
[00:26:21] could you imagine wealthy people giving
[00:26:23] money to woke denominations so they
[00:26:26] would teach their people not to get
[00:26:27] involved in politics
[00:26:30] i could name a few churches
[00:26:34] so in the early 1700s these german
[00:26:36] pieters come to america
[00:26:38] and they're teaching don't get involved
[00:26:39] the ultimate of them is the amish
[00:26:42] that said oh we're not even going to
[00:26:44] vote oh it's all dirty don't get
[00:26:45] involved
[00:26:47] and it comes to an interesting head
[00:26:49] when
[00:26:50] the founder of the lutheran church in
[00:26:52] america a pietast pastor henry
[00:26:55] muellenberg has two sons who are pietest
[00:26:58] pastors frederick augustus is pastoring
[00:27:01] in new york john peters pastoring in
[00:27:03] virginia
[00:27:04] and
[00:27:05] john peter muellenberg hears patrick
[00:27:07] henry's give me liberty give me death
[00:27:09] speech
[00:27:09] and he goes to washington and says i
[00:27:12] want to help and george washington said
[00:27:14] i am going to make you a colonel go get
[00:27:16] your men
[00:27:18] so he goes to his church and he preaches
[00:27:20] ecclesiastes a time for all things time
[00:27:22] to gather stone time to get this you
[00:27:24] know scatter and a time to preach in
[00:27:26] time to fight takes off his clerical
[00:27:28] robe underneath he has a uniform
[00:27:30] he has an altar call 300 men of his
[00:27:32] church and the little churches he
[00:27:34] pastored kiss their wives goodbye they
[00:27:36] ride off to become the eighth virginia
[00:27:38] regiment he gets promoted the general
[00:27:40] gets elected to congress and he's in the
[00:27:42] very first u.s congress
[00:27:44] well when this is going on his brother
[00:27:46] frederick augustus muellenberg is
[00:27:48] writing him letters
[00:27:50] saying you are getting involved in
[00:27:52] things which as a preacher you have
[00:27:55] nothing whatsoever to do
[00:27:57] john peter writes back and accuses his
[00:28:00] brother of being a tory british
[00:28:01] sympathizer
[00:28:03] his brother writes back and says well i
[00:28:05] just can't serve two masters
[00:28:07] and then the british invade new york
[00:28:09] burn frederick's church
[00:28:11] he decides maybe we do need to get
[00:28:14] involved
[00:28:15] he gets involved in the revolution he
[00:28:17] gets elected to us congress he gets
[00:28:19] elected the first speaker of the us
[00:28:21] house of representatives
[00:28:23] the first speaker nancy pelosi now but
[00:28:25] back then the first speaker was
[00:28:27] lutheran pastor frederick augustus
[00:28:29] muellenberg with his brother john peter
[00:28:32] and what do they pass the first
[00:28:35] amendment
[00:28:38] does does anybody think that they would
[00:28:41] pass an amendment to outlaw themselves
[00:28:44] pastors shouldn't get involved in
[00:28:45] politics even though we are pastors and
[00:28:46] we did get involved no the first
[00:28:48] amendment as well as the first ten
[00:28:50] amendments were handcuffs placed by the
[00:28:53] states on the federal government
[00:28:56] right congress shall make no law who's
[00:28:58] limited congress congress shouldn't make
[00:29:00] no law respecting respecting means
[00:29:02] concerning neither for nor against
[00:29:04] congress shall make no law respecting
[00:29:06] the establishment of religion what was
[00:29:07] the establishment of religion well it's
[00:29:09] what they had in virginia it's what they
[00:29:10] had in germany three things mandatory
[00:29:12] membership
[00:29:13] everybody in virginia had to pay taxes
[00:29:15] to the government and the government
[00:29:16] paid the pastors
[00:29:18] you think that strange that's still what
[00:29:20] they do in germany today
[00:29:23] my daughter worked in berlin for 10
[00:29:25] years they write on the little w-2 what
[00:29:27] church you go to the government
[00:29:28] withholds the money and pays the pastors
[00:29:30] so this way the pastor doesn't have to
[00:29:31] get their hands dirty taking up
[00:29:32] offerings well how's that done for them
[00:29:35] well all the young people realize they
[00:29:37] can give themselves a 10 raise by not
[00:29:40] checking the church box
[00:29:41] and so you have these empty cathedrals
[00:29:43] in europe and all these kids identifying
[00:29:45] as atheists and now muslims are coming
[00:29:47] in and buying up the churches and so
[00:29:48] forth so but anyway establish mandatory
[00:29:51] membership mandatory taxes and you could
[00:29:53] not hold public office in virginia
[00:29:56] unless you took the oath of supremacy
[00:29:58] acknowledging the king as the head of
[00:30:00] the church
[00:30:01] they understood what establishment meant
[00:30:03] uh and so who did they limit congress
[00:30:06] shall make no law respecting the
[00:30:07] establishment of religion why because
[00:30:09] many of the states did
[00:30:11] massachusetts and connecticut had
[00:30:13] established the congregational
[00:30:14] denomination up until 1833 in
[00:30:17] massachusetts and
[00:30:19] so
[00:30:20] the first ten amendments were handcuffs
[00:30:23] on the federal government leaving the
[00:30:24] states to do whatever they wanted
[00:30:27] that's no notes by the way have you ever
[00:30:28] seen anything like that
[00:30:33] and it's any topic by the way i'm like
[00:30:36] hey how's your persian history bill he's
[00:30:38] like funny you asked
[00:30:43] so bill
[00:30:44] there is this can there is this building
[00:30:46] movement a 1619 project there's nothing
[00:30:49] exceptional about 1776. you say america
[00:30:52] stands upon history as being an
[00:30:55] exceptional nation let me ask you a
[00:30:57] question for our christian audience why
[00:30:59] should christians care
[00:31:00] what is the biblical reason we should
[00:31:02] care about america some christians say i
[00:31:04] just care about the gospel i don't care
[00:31:06] about government or politics why is that
[00:31:08] misguided
[00:31:10] um well two things if i were to sum
[00:31:12] america up in one word is individual
[00:31:15] every other form of government every
[00:31:16] other country your worth is dependent on
[00:31:18] your relationship to a group
[00:31:21] it's called the honor shame culture if
[00:31:23] the group honors you your your worth as
[00:31:26] a person goes up if the group shames you
[00:31:28] your worth goes down right in islam if
[00:31:30] your daughter embarrasses you in front
[00:31:32] of your uma community parents will even
[00:31:34] murder their own daughter right it's all
[00:31:36] group well
[00:31:38] jesus calls us out of the group he says
[00:31:40] you gotta not care what people think
[00:31:41] about you
[00:31:43] and um
[00:31:44] anyway you only have to care what god
[00:31:46] says about you and i believe he's doing
[00:31:48] he's pushing us to that point
[00:31:50] are are you living your life on how
[00:31:52] you're liked and followed and friended
[00:31:54] and trending or
[00:31:56] are you afraid of people canceling you
[00:31:58] and blocking you and right and getting
[00:32:01] rid of you deplatforming you
[00:32:03] it's group versus god i love the one
[00:32:06] where sam coonrod the giants baseball
[00:32:10] pitcher was the only one not to kneel in
[00:32:12] protest to the flag and they asked him
[00:32:14] afterwards why and he goes well i'm a
[00:32:15] christian i just believe you're only
[00:32:16] supposed to kneel to god
[00:32:24] but uh
[00:32:26] why should christians care um
[00:32:28] this was just a thought i had a couple
[00:32:31] months ago
[00:32:33] numbers chapter 30 is the silence equals
[00:32:36] consent chapter about a half dozen
[00:32:38] scenarios and one of them is if a
[00:32:40] daughter is in her father's house and
[00:32:42] makes a vow and binds herself with a vow
[00:32:45] and the day the father hears it if he is
[00:32:47] silent his silence gives consent to the
[00:32:48] vow and it stands and she's bound
[00:32:51] but if in the day he hears it he
[00:32:53] disagrees with it
[00:32:54] the vow is canceled and the lord
[00:32:56] forgives her
[00:32:57] that's come down to us in wedding
[00:32:58] ceremonies
[00:33:00] if there's a vow at the wedding and the
[00:33:02] pastor says anybody that's against this
[00:33:04] vow speak now or forever hold your peace
[00:33:06] and if you're silent your silence is
[00:33:08] giving consent to that the same way the
[00:33:10] father silence gives consent to the vow
[00:33:13] it's called the rule of tacit admission
[00:33:16] and it's in a court of law right if
[00:33:18] somebody's accused of a crime and they
[00:33:19] don't deny it the jury can reasonably
[00:33:21] assume that they're guilty of the crime
[00:33:23] so if silence equals consent to a vow to
[00:33:26] a wedding
[00:33:28] if the church members know that they're
[00:33:30] killing babies down the street and they
[00:33:32] are silent they're giving consent to
[00:33:34] that
[00:33:37] if you give consent to sin you are
[00:33:40] guilty of the sin and you will be judged
[00:33:42] as if you committed the sin
[00:33:45] see their tactic is to guilt-trip
[00:33:46] christians into being more christian
[00:33:48] than christ
[00:33:49] i think what yeah if you're really
[00:33:51] christian you'll tolerate the lgbtq
[00:33:53] agenda being taught to the kids
[00:33:55] question
[00:33:56] would jesus teach that to the kids
[00:33:59] jesus taught in the beginning god made
[00:34:02] them male and female the man shall leave
[00:34:04] the father mother and cleave to his wife
[00:34:05] the two shall become one
[00:34:07] so they're telling you that if if you're
[00:34:09] really christian you'll let them teach
[00:34:12] something to kids that jesus would not
[00:34:14] teach to the kids
[00:34:15] so if you're really christian you won't
[00:34:17] act like christ
[00:34:18] right but jesus said if you are silent
[00:34:24] and you allow one of these little ones
[00:34:25] that believes me to stumble it is better
[00:34:27] that a millstone we put around your neck
[00:34:29] and be thrown in the depths of the sea
[00:34:31] who are you going to believe right them
[00:34:33] telling you being a christian is
[00:34:34] allowing that jesus if you allow it
[00:34:36] you're going to get judged you're
[00:34:37] silenced so all these people that are
[00:34:39] sitting in church thinking they're being
[00:34:41] super spiritual by not getting involved
[00:34:44] they're actually inviting the judgment
[00:34:46] of god upon their heads
[00:34:50] [Music]
[00:34:56] so bill i want to ask you just kind of
[00:34:59] about our modern times right now and to
[00:35:01] connect some historical trends of
[00:35:03] totalitarianism
[00:35:05] the collectivism the erosion of the rule
[00:35:07] of law and you wrote a lot about this in
[00:35:10] some in your books um the 5 000 year um
[00:35:14] kind of journey from socialism right to
[00:35:16] to kind of what we're into today it's a
[00:35:18] phenomenal book
[00:35:19] what do you think is the path forward to
[00:35:22] confront what seems to be at times
[00:35:24] overbearing tyranny what does history
[00:35:26] tell us and how to win this battle in
[00:35:28] front of us uh the first thing is to
[00:35:32] name the demon right i mean you need to
[00:35:34] pull the curtain back on the wizard of
[00:35:35] oz you need to expose it and one of the
[00:35:38] things in a book i did on socialism
[00:35:41] that um the most common form of
[00:35:43] government's kings democracies and
[00:35:45] republics are attempts to take the power
[00:35:47] of the king give it to the people
[00:35:49] democracy athens
[00:35:51] every citizen had to be at every meeting
[00:35:53] every day to talk about every issue very
[00:35:55] time consuming so they could only grow
[00:35:57] as large as a city because you
[00:35:58] personally had to be there every day
[00:36:00] republics is
[00:36:01] where you could take care of your family
[00:36:03] and your farm and have someone in your
[00:36:05] place go to the market every day and
[00:36:06] talk politics
[00:36:08] they're your representatives so the rep
[00:36:10] and
[00:36:10] republic is like the rep and
[00:36:12] representative easy to remember so
[00:36:15] republican former government's
[00:36:16] representative you're still in charge
[00:36:17] you're just ruling indirectly whereas a
[00:36:20] democracy you have to be there
[00:36:23] and so if democracies and republics are
[00:36:24] attempts to take the power of the king
[00:36:26] given to the people what if the king
[00:36:27] wants the power back
[00:36:29] does he just go and ask for it hi i want
[00:36:32] to be the king give me control of your
[00:36:33] life oh yeah okay here you go is that
[00:36:36] how it works no so there's two methods
[00:36:38] in which the king can take the power
[00:36:40] back
[00:36:41] fear
[00:36:42] when people are afraid
[00:36:44] they'll trade freedom for security
[00:36:47] and the other is free stuff
[00:36:50] they're so nice they're giving yourself
[00:36:51] until you get dependent and then they
[00:36:52] begin to set the hook like a fisherman
[00:36:56] and it's like a drug dealer takes over a
[00:36:57] neighborhood two ways
[00:36:59] he can come in with guns and get
[00:37:00] everybody in fear and out of fear they
[00:37:02] trade their freedom for security just to
[00:37:04] be left alive or the drug dealer's so
[00:37:06] nice he's giving away free drugs
[00:37:08] until you get hooked and he's like you
[00:37:10] want some more free drugs you're going
[00:37:12] to give up your freedom and sell your
[00:37:13] body into prostitution
[00:37:15] right it's like a hunter catches animals
[00:37:17] through guns or with bait with a trap
[00:37:20] and so we begin to see that socialism
[00:37:23] goes back to plato
[00:37:25] he's the first one that talked about
[00:37:26] everybody owning everything in common
[00:37:29] and it sounds nice until you think it
[00:37:31] through
[00:37:32] somebody has to be in the government
[00:37:34] handing out the common stuff
[00:37:36] and they're always going to be tempted
[00:37:37] to funnel a little extra to their family
[00:37:40] and friends on the side
[00:37:42] and hold back from someone they don't
[00:37:43] like and before you know it gets
[00:37:45] discretionary
[00:37:47] and the saying is he who holds the purse
[00:37:49] strings has the power
[00:37:50] so every attempt at everybody owning
[00:37:52] everything equally always ends up with a
[00:37:54] deep state bureaucracy passing out
[00:37:57] favors to their friends with the most
[00:37:58] corrupt guy at the top a dictator
[00:38:01] and um
[00:38:02] so anyway um
[00:38:07] i think i
[00:38:08] i have all these little rabbit trails in
[00:38:10] my head that's okay
[00:38:12] i'll guide you on one because we got to
[00:38:13] get the questions in a second here bill
[00:38:15] which is modern day what is it then the
[00:38:18] average citizen needs to do
[00:38:20] to defeat tyranny what does history show
[00:38:22] us is the effective way to be able to
[00:38:24] push back against this form of free
[00:38:27] stuff and fear how do we defeat that
[00:38:28] local local local
[00:38:30] everybody needs to be involved and so in
[00:38:32] america uh the founding the pastors in
[00:38:36] new england
[00:38:37] thomas hooker
[00:38:39] roger williams they had congregational
[00:38:42] forms of church government that
[00:38:44] bled into into their community
[00:38:45] government so england they had a
[00:38:47] hierarchical form of church government
[00:38:49] the king was at the top archbishop of
[00:38:51] canterbury and the deaneries and the
[00:38:52] vicars and the curates and all the way
[00:38:54] down and your relationship with god is
[00:38:55] through this hierarchical structure
[00:38:58] and when the reformation happened
[00:39:00] they went back to the
[00:39:02] bible to this first 400 year period
[00:39:04] before king saul
[00:39:06] and they realized here's this original
[00:39:09] plan before they sinned and went to
[00:39:11] samuel the prophet and said we want a
[00:39:12] king this original plan is israel didn't
[00:39:15] have a king and it worked because every
[00:39:17] citizen was taught the law and it was
[00:39:19] this congregational model called an
[00:39:20] assembly and so when jesus says upon
[00:39:22] this rock i'll build my church the word
[00:39:24] he uses ecclesia or ecclesia and it
[00:39:27] means it means an assembly of the people
[00:39:31] so this was the competing views king
[00:39:33] james quoted from the bible from the
[00:39:35] king saul and on period
[00:39:38] and the puritans and presbyterians and
[00:39:41] the pilgrims quoted from the bible the
[00:39:42] pre-king saul period
[00:39:46] right the congregation model versus the
[00:39:48] king model
[00:39:50] and so when they founded new england you
[00:39:52] had pastors and their churches forming
[00:39:55] communities
[00:39:57] and
[00:39:58] again thomas hooker founded hartford
[00:40:00] connecticut 1636
[00:40:02] his church members come to him and say
[00:40:04] pastor can you do a sermon on how we're
[00:40:07] supposed to set up our government
[00:40:09] so he gives a sermon in 1638 titled the
[00:40:12] foundation of authority lies in the free
[00:40:14] consent of the people
[00:40:15] they take his sermon they write it down
[00:40:17] it becomes the constitution for
[00:40:19] connecticut
[00:40:21] from 1639 up until 1818.
[00:40:25] how could you say pastor don't get
[00:40:26] involved in politics when it's the
[00:40:28] pastor's sermon that's the constitution
[00:40:30] of connecticut
[00:40:31] how could you say church members don't
[00:40:33] get involved in politics when all there
[00:40:34] was in hartford was the church members
[00:40:37] so they took their community their
[00:40:39] congregational church model and they
[00:40:41] made they only had one building
[00:40:43] is called the meeting house you go to
[00:40:44] boston there's the old south meeting
[00:40:46] house and that's where they taught the
[00:40:48] bible and that's where they elected
[00:40:49] their city elders the word synagogue is
[00:40:51] hebrew it means meeting house that's
[00:40:54] where the rabbi would teach the law
[00:40:55] that's where they would elect their city
[00:40:56] elders one building
[00:40:58] i mean why build an entirely separate
[00:40:59] building to talk about a different
[00:41:01] subject and so when the revolutionary
[00:41:04] war starts
[00:41:05] the military governor of massachusetts
[00:41:06] sent over by the king thomas gage
[00:41:09] outlawed these meeting houses he says we
[00:41:12] don't need the people meeting just do
[00:41:14] what the king tells you again top down
[00:41:16] versus bottom up so what's the answer to
[00:41:18] the problem we got to get back to the
[00:41:19] bottom up it's the difference between a
[00:41:21] dead pyramid and a living tree where
[00:41:23] every root and every little capillary
[00:41:25] root sucks in nutrients to keep this
[00:41:27] thing alive every citizen needs to be in
[00:41:30] every church member so the pastor's job
[00:41:32] and that's why i love this church i love
[00:41:35] luke and angel and pastor tommy barnett
[00:41:37] because they got it that everybody's
[00:41:39] supposed to be involved right so the
[00:41:41] pastor's job is to have you get your own
[00:41:43] relationship with jesus they coach you
[00:41:46] into becoming a mature christian reading
[00:41:47] your bible and praying but then you find
[00:41:49] your place in the body and plug in
[00:41:52] anything that's alive has to give give
[00:41:54] in and to take in and give out
[00:41:56] right and so
[00:41:57] that we need to take this church model
[00:41:59] everybody's involved and we need to make
[00:42:01] it our community bottle everybody's
[00:42:03] involved
[00:42:04] amen it's beautifully said
[00:42:07] [Applause]
[00:42:09] so let's start to line up for some
[00:42:10] questions is that right luke i think on
[00:42:12] the time right let's start to line up
[00:42:14] for some questions here
[00:42:15] and um i know that there will be some
[00:42:18] definitely some questions about last
[00:42:19] night and all of that
[00:42:20] so just so you guys know
[00:42:22] that was pretty impressive as you saw
[00:42:25] this is the type of stuff that
[00:42:28] if you send your kid to dream city
[00:42:30] christian at turning point academy this
[00:42:31] is the type of historic history
[00:42:33] curriculum that your kid or grandkid
[00:42:35] could get
[00:42:37] right
[00:42:39] that's not happening in government
[00:42:41] schools that is not happening
[00:42:43] in many places even some christian
[00:42:45] schools exceptional okay let's get to
[00:42:47] some questions here yes you're right up
[00:42:50] great thank you both so much for talking
[00:42:52] to us being here tonight um
[00:42:54] we think about tyranny and
[00:42:56] totalitarianism that it can't happen
[00:42:58] here
[00:43:00] we look at australia we look at england
[00:43:03] we've seen the videos of police coming
[00:43:04] to people's homes i am here to say that
[00:43:07] a family member last month had the
[00:43:10] police come to his home
[00:43:12] and question him about his gun ownership
[00:43:16] he was told this is in arizona this is
[00:43:18] happening here last month he was told
[00:43:21] that they were watching supposedly his
[00:43:23] social media
[00:43:25] it was a case of mistaken identity
[00:43:28] however
[00:43:29] what do we do i mean we were shocked and
[00:43:31] appalled we're conservative you know
[00:43:33] second amendment family
[00:43:35] who are being harassed by law
[00:43:37] enforcement in arizona
[00:43:39] yeah so i um
[00:43:41] i'm not going to make this political i
[00:43:43] am happy to talk my own personal opinion
[00:43:45] on some things i will say though a race
[00:43:47] that
[00:43:48] you should take a look at and make a
[00:43:50] prudent decision is the attorney
[00:43:51] general's race because the amount of
[00:43:53] power in the attorney general of arizona
[00:43:56] is remarkable when it comes to these
[00:43:58] things and going in the wrong hands it
[00:44:00] would be really
[00:44:01] really awful so what could be done boy
[00:44:04] you're touching on something really
[00:44:05] important which is
[00:44:07] the surveillance state with the erosion
[00:44:09] of freedom and liberty kind of all mixed
[00:44:11] together and
[00:44:13] so this is one of the reasons why i'm
[00:44:14] against red flag laws i have been for
[00:44:16] quite some time because they always say
[00:44:19] it's case of mistaken identity but i i
[00:44:22] believe in due process if you're going
[00:44:23] to actually have your rights taken away
[00:44:25] from you but from government not some
[00:44:26] sort of
[00:44:27] hearsay rumor mill deal
[00:44:31] but it's here i just want to say one
[00:44:33] thing you're right we see the videos of
[00:44:34] australia and canada there are forms of
[00:44:37] tyranny that are already here in america
[00:44:40] that
[00:44:41] i mean do we need to look at anything
[00:44:42] else in the last two years
[00:44:44] from the lockdowns from the arresting of
[00:44:46] pastors
[00:44:47] and i believe eternal vigilance is the
[00:44:50] answer and so i will say this though
[00:44:53] that tyrants are running out of tricks
[00:44:56] to be able to control us it's one of the
[00:44:58] reasons why i think they're becoming so
[00:45:00] paranoid and they're so worried is that
[00:45:04] you all rising up you keeping your eyes
[00:45:06] on power you no longer believing the
[00:45:09] media with these things is a direct
[00:45:11] threat to their power bill what are your
[00:45:12] thoughts
[00:45:14] tyrants have two tools in their toolbox
[00:45:16] fraud and force
[00:45:18] fraud is they will lie to you and take
[00:45:20] away your freedoms as long as you let
[00:45:22] them but when they begin to drop in
[00:45:25] popularity
[00:45:26] the mass comes off
[00:45:28] and the only tool they have left is
[00:45:30] force
[00:45:31] and that's why the biggest threat to
[00:45:33] america right now
[00:45:35] is woke critical race theory in the
[00:45:37] military
[00:45:39] that's so true it's neither of us to
[00:45:41] think that the same people that are
[00:45:43] pushing their agenda through the courts
[00:45:45] through the education through hollywood
[00:45:48] that they're somehow not going to be
[00:45:50] tempted to want to push their agenda
[00:45:52] through the military
[00:45:54] and so so this is very serious the
[00:45:55] answer is push back
[00:45:57] the answer is push back and legally sue
[00:46:00] them
[00:46:01] and there's lots of great law
[00:46:06] firms that do this and uh you have to do
[00:46:09] what
[00:46:10] turning point did to the view you know
[00:46:12] mentioning the view um
[00:46:14] condoleezza rice was on the view years
[00:46:16] ago and she talked about growing up in
[00:46:19] democrat controlled alabama with a
[00:46:22] commissioner named bull connor
[00:46:25] and she said that
[00:46:27] the white knights and these were the
[00:46:29] democrats in the south would ride
[00:46:30] through her neighborhood and
[00:46:33] trash it and persecute and treat the
[00:46:36] black people really bad
[00:46:38] and she said
[00:46:40] that my dad and his friends would go to
[00:46:42] the head of our neighborhood it was a
[00:46:44] cul-de-sac and when they would come they
[00:46:45] would shoot some guns in the air she
[00:46:47] said they never hit anybody but that
[00:46:49] made these white knights turn around and
[00:46:50] leave and she says i guarantee if bull
[00:46:52] connor the democrat commissioner knew
[00:46:55] had a registration list and knew who had
[00:46:58] the gun she would go to them and take
[00:47:00] them away and she and this is
[00:47:01] condoleezza rice she says that's why i'm
[00:47:03] against some things like gun
[00:47:05] registration
[00:47:08] well said thank you
[00:47:10] next question let's try to get quick to
[00:47:12] your question guys just straight
[00:47:14] question yes sir yes bill both of you
[00:47:17] gentlemen if you could um
[00:47:19] bring some light to this so in the class
[00:47:22] and bill i don't know if you remember me
[00:47:23] from last february i'm the guy at the
[00:47:25] war room that spoke and i i bought three
[00:47:27] of your books and 10 videos god bless
[00:47:29] you you blew me away with what you're
[00:47:31] doing here tonight now everyone is
[00:47:33] blessed to get to know you but i
[00:47:35] am teaching through my eagle seminar
[00:47:38] that our founders were not interested in
[00:47:41] party in fact they warned their focus
[00:47:44] was about unity and you talked about
[00:47:46] that in community and they called us
[00:47:49] patriots american patriots and we became
[00:47:51] the united
[00:47:52] states of america my question is this to
[00:47:55] both you gentlemen
[00:47:57] how can we teach this to all four
[00:48:00] generations in our nation because we're
[00:48:02] splitting up the enemy is dividing us by
[00:48:05] generation unlike anything i've seen in
[00:48:07] 42 years
[00:48:09] this is the question how do we
[00:48:11] teach unity in this time because through
[00:48:15] covet in this attack that came upon our
[00:48:17] nation almost like a biblical plague the
[00:48:20] shaking that we're experiencing what
[00:48:23] what's happening is people are becoming
[00:48:24] isolated they're not going to church
[00:48:27] they're not plugging in they're
[00:48:28] forsaking sorry you've got to get to the
[00:48:30] question like i said the question is how
[00:48:32] can we teach that and encourage the
[00:48:35] pastor the teacher the political leader
[00:48:37] like charlie kirk okay i'll i'll start
[00:48:40] with that look i i have a heart for
[00:48:41] unity i really do i will say though that
[00:48:44] i'm not sure
[00:48:45] this is a moment of time where i have a
[00:48:48] lot to unite around with some of the
[00:48:51] more insidious forces
[00:48:53] i'll be very honest you read luke 12
[00:48:55] jesus did not come here to unite the
[00:48:56] world he came here to divide
[00:48:59] and that is a very controversial thing
[00:49:01] to say in church but it's in the bible
[00:49:03] and it said very clear i'm here to turn
[00:49:06] father against son or brother against
[00:49:08] brother and you think about it it's
[00:49:11] actually totally true right which is
[00:49:14] jesus christ is the way the truth and
[00:49:16] the life not a way
[00:49:18] not one of the options along the way and
[00:49:21] so i struggle with this because i have a
[00:49:23] heart for unity and i want to try to get
[00:49:24] to that place but you know what we all
[00:49:26] are
[00:49:27] are called to have unity in unity in the
[00:49:29] body of christ that's a completely
[00:49:31] different thing than unity and with the
[00:49:33] world
[00:49:34] and so i think you're right that unity
[00:49:36] in the body of christ is a completely
[00:49:38] different thing than unity in the world
[00:49:41] and so i think that is a tension that
[00:49:43] some christians have um
[00:49:45] because that that teaching in luke 12 is
[00:49:48] awfully direct about what jesus came to
[00:49:50] the world to do um and it's also
[00:49:53] articulated in how we understand our
[00:49:56] tension and our battle against the enemy
[00:49:58] right the we are not here to go find
[00:50:01] unity with lucifer or with satan right
[00:50:03] we're here to win souls and a rescue
[00:50:05] mission from satan to be able to bring
[00:50:08] them to eternal life bill your thoughts
[00:50:11] i think part of the answer is what
[00:50:12] you're doing already that you said that
[00:50:14] you're teaching a class that's so you're
[00:50:17] the king
[00:50:19] in america
[00:50:20] the politicians are your servants
[00:50:23] you hire them you fire them wouldn't it
[00:50:24] be silly for a king to go through his
[00:50:26] castle and the janitor said sorry king
[00:50:28] you can't go in this part of the castle
[00:50:29] anymore it's like who are you i'm the
[00:50:31] janitor where'd you come from uh the
[00:50:32] butler and the cook hired me well
[00:50:33] they're my servants too it's like who's
[00:50:35] the supreme court justice oh they're
[00:50:37] appointed by the president i voted the
[00:50:39] president well there's confirmed by the
[00:50:40] senate i voted in the senate so you're
[00:50:42] like a servant of the servant who are
[00:50:43] you telling me what to do
[00:50:45] right and so you're the king it would be
[00:50:48] silly for a king to sit on his throne
[00:50:50] and say can somebody tell me what i'm
[00:50:51] supposed to do uh hey cook come here
[00:50:54] what am i supposed to do no it's your
[00:50:56] job
[00:50:58] to
[00:50:58] keep up on the issues
[00:51:01] seek god's will in the scriptures
[00:51:04] and then
[00:51:06] get out there and do something and you
[00:51:07] tell your representatives what needs to
[00:51:09] happen you're the king so so if anything
[00:51:11] what we're doing tonight is to release
[00:51:13] you be the king
[00:51:15] put your shoulders back say god you'll
[00:51:18] give you ideas on what to do
[00:51:20] amen all right next question how you
[00:51:22] doing man
[00:51:23] hi i'm micah and
[00:51:26] i was wondering what can i expect with

[00:52:02] throughout the years i'll tell you what
[00:52:04] here's what you can expect and this is
[00:52:06] something that we're continually you
[00:52:07] know working on and workshopping uh it's
[00:52:09] not going to be easy but it'll be worth
[00:52:11] it there'll be no great inflation but
[00:52:13] there will be a journey towards truth
[00:52:14] there'll be no walkism there will be
[00:52:16] things that are good and beautiful that
[00:52:18] you'll be studying and you will look
[00:52:20] around to peers in government school and

[00:52:44] and
[00:52:44] that
[00:52:46] i want to point out that that's the
[00:52:47] reason we're doing all this

[00:53:30] get anything half speed
[00:53:33] god bless you next question
[00:53:36] okay
[00:53:37] hi um charlie i
[00:53:39] talked with you
[00:53:40] earlier this year i gave you a copy of
[00:53:42] my book
[00:53:43] i'm very concerned about what i see
[00:53:46] going on in the world specifically iran
[00:53:50] we have a president
[00:53:52] my president still
[00:53:54] who says he wants to liberate iran from
[00:53:56] the theocracy that is there a theocracy
[00:53:59] that teaches that if a young girl is
[00:54:02] raped she can be murdered
[00:54:04] but i say that we also have
[00:54:06] those in america that are abusing the
[00:54:10] first amendment
[00:54:12] how do we go about
[00:54:14] cleansing
[00:54:16] our churches
[00:54:19] along with cleansing our country
[00:54:23] i grew up in the
[00:54:24] religious institution called jehovah's
[00:54:26] witnesses
[00:54:28] something most people don't know is that
[00:54:29] roe
[00:54:31] grew up as a jehovah witness girl
[00:54:34] now
[00:54:35] why would a woman
[00:54:37] want to have an abortion
[00:54:40] well i'll tell you why
[00:54:42] about a month ago their governing body
[00:54:45] member which would be equivalent to the
[00:54:47] pope of the catholic church
[00:54:49] gave a worldwide
[00:54:50] speech in which he said and i quote
[00:54:55] babies are an enemy of god
[00:55:00] the watchtower and bible track society
[00:55:02] is located
[00:55:04] in new york yeah you got to get to your
[00:55:06] question i'm sorry so how do we cleanse
[00:55:10] the laws that they have manipulated such
[00:55:14] as our flag salute they took it all the
[00:55:16] way to
[00:55:17] scotus okay and now we have burning of
[00:55:19] so you're
[00:55:20] asking yeah i really don't know very
[00:55:22] much about
[00:55:23] uh the jehovah's witness category i'll
[00:55:26] be very honest so bill do you have any
[00:55:27] any insight into that
[00:55:29] um first of all thank you for your
[00:55:30] question uh
[00:55:32] the big thing is to get involved and to
[00:55:34] vote out the bad people and put in the
[00:55:36] good people and um and i think you ought
[00:55:39] to run
[00:55:40] i think you know school moms you know
[00:55:43] it's it's one thing and i'm thrilled
[00:55:45] with
[00:55:46] rob mccoy getting involved there in
[00:55:47] thousand oaks california and michelle
[00:55:49] but
[00:55:50] you drive by the school every day
[00:55:53] and
[00:55:54] if you know what's being taught there
[00:55:56] and you're silent you're giving consent
[00:55:57] to that and if you give consent to that
[00:55:59] you're going to be judged for
[00:56:01] and so i think every church needs to run
[00:56:04] church members for the local school
[00:56:05] board amen
[00:56:07] and and if if churches can do that
[00:56:10] all the higher positions will take care
[00:56:12] of themselves people will get a taste
[00:56:14] for it they'll decide they're going to
[00:56:15] run for other all the other offices
[00:56:17] that's right thank you for being here
[00:56:18] tonight got to get the next question
[00:56:20] thank you my first question was i wanted
[00:56:22] to know your name because i never heard
[00:56:24] charlie say it
[00:56:26] and i think he said it just now
[00:56:28] bill federer okay because i tried all
[00:56:31] during that's his name not my name right
[00:56:33] i tried all during your speech to look
[00:56:36] it up on amazon so i could see your
[00:56:38] books but i didn't know the last name
[00:56:40] yeah americanminute.com is my website
[00:56:42] okay american now what book if we were
[00:56:46] gonna buy one or two what what do we
[00:56:48] start out with because i'm so impressed
[00:56:50] with you i'm a high school english
[00:56:51] teacher you're so kind uh my son uh
[00:56:55] michael has the book table out in the
[00:56:56] lobby and so i've got lots of books uh
[00:56:59] one of them is on the history of
[00:57:00] socialism another book i had an idea of
[00:57:03] compiling god and country coats and so
[00:57:05] it's a 845 page book sold a half million
[00:57:07] copies focused on the family sold it and
[00:57:10] even had the u.s supreme court cite the
[00:57:12] book by name in a case in 2013 they were
[00:57:15] having prayer in a little city in greece
[00:57:17] new york and they opened in jesus name
[00:57:20] and the aclu sues them and the supreme
[00:57:22] court justice anthony kennedy said well
[00:57:24] the continental congress opened prayer
[00:57:26] in jesus name gives the prayer from
[00:57:27] jacob boucher and then cites the book w
[00:57:29] federer america's god and country all my
[00:57:31] friends say how did you get the supreme
[00:57:32] court decide your name
[00:57:35] it's good to see the mcguires here
[00:57:37] god bless you
[00:57:38] thank thinking every time i waxed my car
[00:57:42] you're the best
[00:57:43] i just wanted to know the name of that
[00:57:45] book oh okay so um
[00:57:47] america's god and country encyclopedia
[00:57:50] of quotations and then a lot of what i
[00:57:52] talked about today is in a book called
[00:57:54] socialism the real history from plato to
[00:57:57] the present
[00:57:59] right and the subtitle is how the deep
[00:58:01] state capitalizes on crises to
[00:58:03] consolidate control and i wanted to
[00:58:04] throw something in about the division
[00:58:06] that um uh
[00:58:10] good how good and perfect it is brethren
[00:58:12] to dwell together in unity six things
[00:58:14] the lord hates one of them is he that
[00:58:15] soweth discord amongst the brethren and
[00:58:18] so we
[00:58:19] the strategy is to sow discord so when
[00:58:22] the british took over india they came in
[00:58:23] in 1714 opened the trading post that
[00:58:25] turned into a trading fort that turned
[00:58:27] into them getting involved in local
[00:58:28] politics and giving guns to one kingdom
[00:58:30] and guns to another kingdom and then
[00:58:31] stirring up animosity between the
[00:58:32] kingdoms and when they blooded each
[00:58:34] other up the british came and took over
[00:58:36] both
[00:58:37] and they did this again and again and
[00:58:38] again until they took over all of india
[00:58:39] a quarter of the world's population
[00:58:41] and this concept got adapted by karl
[00:58:44] marx and he called it critical theory
[00:58:46] you go into a country and you observe
[00:58:47] all the different groups ethnically
[00:58:49] religiously racially and you call some
[00:58:52] victims and others oppressors haves and
[00:58:53] have-nots and you pit them against each
[00:58:55] other with riots and protests until they
[00:58:58] bloody each other up and then the
[00:58:59] government comes in and says we're going
[00:59:00] to restore order and they take away your
[00:59:02] guns and take away your freedom of
[00:59:03] speech and take away everything right
[00:59:04] and so they want to bring this division
[00:59:07] and we need so that's why the most
[00:59:09] biggest threat to america is the
[00:59:10] critical race theory in our military and
[00:59:12] in our schools we need to address that
[00:59:15] jesus loves everybody that's everyone's
[00:59:17] made in his image and um anyway
[00:59:21] great
[00:59:22] we'll get to two more super quick yes
[00:59:25] hi gentlemen i love you both thank you
[00:59:27] so much for making impact um i go to the
[00:59:29] university of tennessee and at martin
[00:59:32] and i've noticed that many children do
[00:59:34] not care about politics or even vote so
[00:59:36] how do i make an impact on my age group
[00:59:39] on my college campus
[00:59:40] should you go to university of tennessee
[00:59:42] yes cool well the first thing is start a
[00:59:44] turning point usa chapter which is the
[00:59:46] best thing that you could do
[00:59:50] right that's the best thing you could do
[00:59:52] and be a leader right most a lot of
[00:59:54] young people are
[00:59:56] confused right now understandably and
[00:59:59] over dominant cynicism of this
[01:00:00] generation which is another speech for a
[01:00:02] different time but you just got to be a
[01:00:04] leader show them the care show them how
[01:00:06] it impacts their life
[01:00:08] and they'll be struck and they'll be
[01:00:09] kind of confused like why do you care so
[01:00:10] much
[01:00:11] and
[01:00:12] that sort of leadership on campus makes
[01:00:14] a very very big impact and we just saw
[01:00:16] this in tampa florida 5 000 students
[01:00:19] there's more out there than you might
[01:00:21] think though i'll say it might be on the
[01:00:22] surfaces if they don't care but there is
[01:00:25] interest you just got to find them and
[01:00:27] then you got to challenge them organize
[01:00:29] and lead them towards engagement
[01:00:33] and if i were to throw in one thing i
[01:00:35] gained encouragement from the spiritual
[01:00:38] side and the thought that someday you're
[01:00:40] going to be dead it's a nice way to and
[01:00:43] to talk but you're going to be in heaven
[01:00:44] because you believe that jesus died on
[01:00:45] the cross to pay for all your sins and
[01:00:47] when we've been there ten thousand years
[01:00:48] bright shining is the son with no less
[01:00:50] days to sing as praise the one we just
[01:00:51] begun imagine you've been in heaven ten
[01:00:53] thousand years maybe you meet moses
[01:00:55] walking the streets of gold maybe moses
[01:00:58] will invite you over to his place i
[01:00:59] don't know what it's like in heaven but
[01:01:01] i bet moses will have jesus at my
[01:01:02] father's house at many mansions so he'll
[01:01:04] probably have one of those big
[01:01:06] fireplaces where the logs don't burn up
[01:01:09] get it the burning bush in the
[01:01:10] wilderness didn't burn up when the logs
[01:01:12] and his fires anyway
[01:01:14] i i heard someone say in heaven you'll
[01:01:16] travel as fast as you think
[01:01:18] and i'll probably show up late
[01:01:21] my wife will say where were you and i
[01:01:23] was thinking about something else but
[01:01:24] imagine being there maybe he's got a big
[01:01:26] living room like tonight and after the
[01:01:27] small talk's over you ask him and you
[01:01:29] say moses what was it like i mean i read
[01:01:32] the book i even saw the movie but here
[01:01:33] you are in person
[01:01:35] the room will get quiet moses will stand
[01:01:37] up and he'll say
[01:01:38] i was 80 years old and pharaoh the most
[01:01:40] powerful military leader in the world
[01:01:43] was charging in at us we were unarmed it
[01:01:45] looked totally hopeless and i just stood
[01:01:47] there and said god use me to make a
[01:01:49] difference and the waves came in and
[01:01:51] swallowed up pharaoh's chariots we're
[01:01:52] gonna say wow then we're gonna look
[01:01:54] around the room and see david say david
[01:01:56] david tell us your story
[01:01:58] the room will get quiet he'll stand up
[01:01:59] because i was just a teenager and this
[01:02:01] thug goliath was mocking our god making
[01:02:03] fun of our faith and these grown-ups
[01:02:05] were too chicken to do anything i said
[01:02:07] enough of that i took my little sling
[01:02:09] hit him in the head took his own sword
[01:02:10] and chopped his head off and one by one
[01:02:12] they're going to tell their story it's
[01:02:13] going to be really exciting and then
[01:02:15] everyone in the room is going to look at
[01:02:16] you
[01:02:18] and say you we haven't heard your story
[01:02:20] yet
[01:02:22] what was going on down on earth when it
[01:02:24] was your turn to be down there what did
[01:02:26] you do when the whole world was against
[01:02:28] you what did you do when they were lying
[01:02:29] about you and smearing you
[01:02:33] you know i'd i'd hate for any of us to
[01:02:36] be there and jesus to walk in the room
[01:02:39] and a big screen come down and show all
[01:02:40] kinds of great things happening and him
[01:02:42] say
[01:02:43] that's what i planned for you to do when
[01:02:45] you were done up down on earth but you
[01:02:47] just didn't have enough faith and
[01:02:48] courage and you look back at your life
[01:02:51] and that big mountain that held you back
[01:02:52] is this little ant hill and he said i
[01:02:55] let that little fear of man
[01:02:57] hold me back from doing all this great
[01:02:59] and you can't go back to earth and do
[01:03:01] anything else for jesus because you're
[01:03:02] already in heaven because you believe
[01:03:04] that jesus died on the cross to pay for
[01:03:05] all your sins
[01:03:06] but guess what we're still on this earth
[01:03:09] we still have breath in our lungs you
[01:03:11] still have feet you still can do those
[01:03:14] things that you'll be known for forever
[01:03:16] this is your chance god has chosen you
[01:03:18] for this time right now go be bold
[01:03:23] i can't think of a better way to end
[01:03:24] built better everybody and luke do you
[01:03:26] want to come back up
[01:03:31] [Applause]
[01:03:41] hey would you all remain just a few more
[01:03:43] minutes with us here tonight
[01:03:45] really the best is yet to come tonight
[01:03:47] because
[01:03:48] jesus said that my house will be a house
[01:03:50] of prayer how many of you have something
[01:03:53] going on in your life right now that you
[01:03:55] you just need god to intervene in your
[01:03:58] life in some way come on just raise your
[01:03:59] hand across this place you have a son or
[01:04:01] daughter who's far from god
[01:04:03] [Music]
[01:04:04] maybe you got a bad mental medical
[01:04:06] report from the doctor
[01:04:08] and he says or she says there's there's
[01:04:10] no hope
[01:04:12] or maybe you're here tonight and you
[01:04:14] hear about
[01:04:16] how god wants you to take a stand with
[01:04:18] your life but you don't feel like you
[01:04:19] have the power inside of you
[01:04:21] to take that kind of stand
[01:04:24] well
[01:04:25] first peter 5 7 says cast all your cares
[01:04:28] on him
[01:04:29] because he cares for you
[01:04:32] and in just a moment we're going to pray
[01:04:33] for every need that's represented here
[01:04:35] tonight now
[01:04:37] generally on wednesday nights we we have
[01:04:40] a house of prayer time we all come
[01:04:42] together around this altar
[01:04:44] and we crowd in as close as we can to
[01:04:47] show community in fact put the
[01:04:48] stanchions down right now and i want
[01:04:51] those of you who are normally going on
[01:04:52] wednesday night just make your way to
[01:04:53] the front right now let's just show what
[01:04:55] we're doing wednesday night just just
[01:04:56] come to the front
[01:04:57] and those of you who are new tonight
[01:05:00] why don't you come as well you need
[01:05:02] prayer in your life just step out right
[01:05:03] now and just come and gather and close
[01:05:05] in just take a moment right now just
[01:05:08] just push into this moment
[01:05:10] [Music]
[01:05:12] in just a moment god's going to do
[01:05:13] something we believe very special in
[01:05:15] this place the bible says
[01:05:19] that god answers our prayer when we pray
[01:05:23] not when we see the manifestation take
[01:05:25] place in our life
[01:05:27] let me say it again he answers our
[01:05:29] prayer when we actually pray
[01:05:31] not when we see the answer
[01:05:33] so we should pray with a sense of
[01:05:35] expectation in our life that god is
[01:05:37] going to meet the need in our life
[01:05:39] he is going to touch our body tonight
[01:05:42] he is going to bring in our our prodigal
[01:05:44] son our prodigal daughter
[01:05:46] so all across this place what we're
[01:05:48] going to do is we're going to pray if
[01:05:50] you're far from god tonight if you feel
[01:05:52] like there's a disconnect between you
[01:05:54] and god
[01:05:55] during this time the bible says he who
[01:05:57] calls upon the name of the lord will be
[01:06:00] saved
[01:06:02] you don't have to clean up your act you
[01:06:03] don't have to be a good person
[01:06:06] jesus died for you just the way that you
[01:06:08] are
[01:06:08] so just call upon his name and i say god
[01:06:11] forgive me
[01:06:12] i want to follow you
[01:06:14] i want to be a a son of god a daughter
[01:06:17] of god
[01:06:18] i want you to empower my life
[01:06:20] so here's what we're going to pray right
[01:06:22] now first we're going to pray for our
[01:06:23] nation we're going to pray for our state
[01:06:26] and this is kind of an interactive
[01:06:28] prayer okay i don't want to pray alone
[01:06:30] so if you don't know how to pray this
[01:06:31] your first time praying as i'm praying
[01:06:33] everybody just say amen right now
[01:06:36] so as i'm friend just say amen god amen
[01:06:38] that just means so be it
[01:06:40] just so be it let it be done
[01:06:42] or maybe just say right on god right on
[01:06:44] god just you know god
[01:06:46] he wants you to pray in a way that's
[01:06:48] natural to you
[01:06:49] the worst thing you can do is try to
[01:06:51] sound holy just speak the words that
