EW Jackson: The Black Community Betrayed By The Democrat Party · Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo

• 0:00
  Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
• 0:10
  defending biblical Christianity.
• 0:13
  No topic, off limits.
• 0:16
  And now, here's your host, David Firazo.
• 0:20
  While leftists are constantly talking about America's slave past, they never admit that
• 0:24
  the Democrat party was the party of slavery.
• 0:27
  The Ku Klux Klan was a Democrat organization, established to terrorize or kill black citizens
• 0:33
  to keep them from voting and deny them their humanity.
• 0:37
  The Democrat party is still the party of slavery, but the slavery is now psychological, rather
• 0:43
  than physical.
• 0:44
  The Democrat party treats Americans of African ancestry like children.
• 0:48
  If you're good little boys and girls and you vote for us, we'll give you some goodies.
• 0:53
  But if you're bad and you don't think talk and vote the way we tell you, you'll get
• 0:59
  a high tech lynching.
• 1:01
  And that's EW Jackson, our guest today.
• 1:03
  You can find that on his YouTube channel, among other places.
• 1:07
  And that is called Exodus Now, the sequel.
• 1:11
  We're going to talk about that and help him to have him elaborate on that a little bit.
• 1:15
  But I want to welcome you to World View Matters.
• 1:17
  Thanks for sharing the podcast, friends.
• 1:19
  It's been amazing.
• 1:20
  It's been a fun ride under God's sovereignty so far, so good.
• 1:24
  And I would want to introduce him, Bishop EW Jackson was born in Pennsylvania.
• 1:28
  He graduated from the University of Massachusetts.
• 1:31
  And also from Harvard Law School in 1978.
• 1:35
  He's the founder of the Cald church, and that's in Virginia.
• 1:39
  Also stand, which stands for, staying true to America's national destiny.
• 1:46
  And that's a nonprofit organization with a mission to bring Americans together across
• 1:51
  racial and cultural lines to preserve our Judeo, Christian values, and heritage.
• 1:58
  You know why we love him?
• 1:59
  EW Jackson for America.
• 2:00
  He's also the host of that show.
• 2:03
  You can watch it live streaming 830 a.m. Monday through Friday, Bishop EW Jackson.tv.
• 2:09
  It's on Facebook and other venues.
• 2:11
  He's also the author of, let's see, the 10 Commandments to an Extraordinary Life and
• 2:18
  12 Principles to Make Your Life Extraordinary.
• 2:21
  And he's got a brand new book out, Sweet Land of Liberty.
• 2:24
  We're going to talk about in the second half of today's podcast, what we're so blessed
• 2:29
  to have EW Jackson on the show.
• 2:32
  Thank you, brother, for joining us.
• 2:33
  It's great to see you again.
• 2:35
  David, I'm honored.
• 2:36
  Thanks for inviting me.
• 2:37
  Good to see you, too.
• 2:38
  Well, you're most welcome.
• 2:39
  You have a lot to share and very important truth to get out there to people who've been
• 2:42
  duped by the leftist talking points and covered by the media.
• 2:47
  So we'll break some of that down in a minute.
• 2:49
  But you and I met four years ago in Dallas, Texas, Liberty Pastors.
• 2:54
  You spoke there and I said, I have to get you on the radio show.
• 2:58
  So we talked in the past.
• 2:59
  But have you done more Liberty Pastors events and I know you're still connected with Paul
• 3:04
  Blair?
• 3:05
  Absolutely.
• 3:06
  In fact, I'm going to be preaching for Paul in about three weeks.
• 3:09
  So he's a dear friend, great man of God, great patriot.
• 3:14
  And so yeah, we're very much connected.
• 3:16
  Yeah, he's amazing.
• 3:17
  And guys, I encourage you guys, by the way, they're coming to Milwaukee, we're based in
• 3:21
  Wisconsin here, LibertyPasters.com, World View Training Camp for Pastors and Wives.
• 3:28
  And it's going to be in Milwaukee May 6th through the 9th.
• 3:32
  And you can get all the information on the Liberty Pastors website, but friends, please
• 3:35
  encourage your pastors if you're in the Midwest or wherever you're from to attend that.
• 3:41
  And you'll get a World View Training session that's just so condensed and so impactful.
• 3:46
  But let's move on here.
• 3:47
  So EW, we played a clip to open up the show today from Exodus now, the sequel.
• 3:54
  Well, we want to talk about the first one, Exodus now.
• 3:58
  What does that mean?
• 3:59
  Is that the black community leaving, trying to get them away from the lies of the left
• 4:05
  and the Democrat Party?
• 4:06
  And just tell us about that.
• 4:08
  Well, it really is a takeoff on the book of Exodus when God delivers the children of Israel
• 4:12
  out of slavery.
• 4:14
  And I draw an analogy because I like to say it this way.
• 4:19
  God got their bodies out of Egypt, but their minds and hearts were still there.
• 4:24
  They were really still captive to a slave mentality.
• 4:28
  And they kept saying, we need to go back.
• 4:29
  We want to go back.
• 4:30
  Let's put us a leader to go back.
• 4:32
  And I've used that as an analogy to talk about the condition of the black community today,
• 4:37
  which lives in, frankly, the land of promise, the greatest nation of opportunity in the
• 4:41
  history of the world, no better place on earth to live.
• 4:45
  But often end up thinking like, well, we're still in slavery.
• 4:49
  We're still under the oppression of segregation.
• 4:53
  And none of that is true.
• 4:55
  And sadly, I point out that I think the Democrat Party perpetuates that mindset and
• 5:00
  keeps people in its kind of psychological bondage, which I go into in great detail in Exodus
• 5:05
  now, the sequel.
• 5:06
  Well, one of the things that's really almost like a mystery is it's confusing to a lot
• 5:11
  of us because, as you said, we are in a free land and especially in the church, you
• 5:16
  know, we should be more united.
• 5:18
  Yet we are more divided than ever.
• 5:21
  And the left has done this on purpose because they want to divide and conquer.
• 5:26
  And they use race to, you know, accuse people.
• 5:30
  I mean, that's, it's a hard thing to, to combat all the time.
• 5:33
  You're a racist.
• 5:34
  Well, you know, what else do you have?
• 5:36
  But they won't stop and because they've been so effective, can you help us understand
• 5:40
  that?
• 5:41
  Well, look, just to underscore, they, they are particularly adept at dividing Christians
• 5:48
  because the fact of the matter is that we as Christians and followers of Jesus Christ
• 5:52
  ought to be united based upon biblical principle, but they've mattered, they've, they've managed
• 5:57
  to make race the overriding issue that supersedes everything, David.
• 6:03
  And so they divide once they label somebody racist, once they say that conservatives, Christians,
• 6:11
  white people, evangelicals, Republicans, they're racist, then they automatically manipulate
• 6:17
  black people, black voters to say, oh, well, we have to stay away from them.
• 6:21
  They're, they're the enemy.
• 6:22
  So they've been very, very adept at that.
• 6:24
  And you're right, it is, it is a falsehood.
• 6:28
  I really believe that the country, particularly the Christian community has moved so far beyond
• 6:33
  that.
• 6:34
  And we just want to look at each other as individuals and come together and work together.
• 6:38
  And, and, and those of us who named the name of Jesus Christ, not only should we do that,
• 6:42
  we are commanded to do that.
• 6:45
  We're supposed to be loving one another and supporting one another and helping one another,
• 6:49
  a standing fast in the faith that was once delivered to the saints, not being co-opted
• 6:54
  by people who hate the gospel, hate God, hate Christianity, and are using race to divide
• 7:01
  us.
• 7:02
  I think of so many scriptures that we should know as believers in the church, Galatians
• 7:07
  chapter three, for example, there is no longer June or Greek, no slave men or free.
• 7:12
  And it talks about the unity we have in Christ, and that's our identity in Christ.
• 7:16
  Then I'm looking at Acts chapter 17 here, just verse 26, he made God made from one man
• 7:23
  every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed
• 7:28
  times and the boundaries of their habitation that they would seek God.
• 7:32
  And but the point is, he made from one man every nation.
• 7:36
  So we're one blood, one race.
• 7:37
  You would never know that from the government schools, from the media, the corporate world,
• 7:42
  and especially the left and the Democrats who are trying to divide us.
• 7:47
  But anyway, maybe that's for another show.
• 7:49
  EW, one of the things is, oh, go ahead.
• 7:52
  Let me just add to that, I mean, you're absolutely right.
• 7:56
  That's the biblical worldview.
• 7:58
  That's not the ideological worldview of the left, and I dare say, I don't think it's
• 8:03
  the worldview of any political party, but it's the worldview of Christianity.
• 8:08
  And that's what we ought to be promoting.
• 8:09
  And frankly, David, I really think that's the only hope for our nation.
• 8:14
  Christians coming together and standing up for one another with one another on biblical
• 8:18
  principle.
• 8:19
  If we don't do that, as far as I'm concerned, the nation is doomed.
• 8:23
  Yeah.
• 8:24
  Well, we've got a long way to go because the church has been silent on so many issues.
• 8:29
  And I think a lot of people in the church have not been equipped to respond to these talking
• 8:35
  points and these attacks about racism and everything.
• 8:37
  They don't know.
• 8:38
  And it's been almost the perfect storm because they're not teaching it in the government schools.
• 8:42
  Textbooks have been rewritten.
• 8:43
  American history has been rewritten.
• 8:45
  They don't know who Frederick Douglass is.
• 8:46
  They don't know why we fought the Civil War.
• 8:49
  There's so much that they don't know.
• 8:52
  And so that's been an issue to the ignorance.
• 8:54
  And that's been by design in the schools, hasn't it?
• 8:57
  It certainly has.
• 8:59
  The devil wants you to be obsessed with every potential or real or imagined offense.
• 9:07
  He wants you obsessed with what others have done to you, real or imagined.
• 9:12
  God wants you obsessed with what he wants to do through you.
• 9:16
  And it's sad that the left has us in this backward looking mode.
• 9:21
  You know, often say that they want us looking at slavery that ended 160 years ago and
• 9:26
  ignoring the slavery that's happening right before our eyes today.
• 9:31
  It's the kind of emotional and psychological enslavement of people.
• 9:35
  It's happening in China.
• 9:36
  It's happening in North Korea.
• 9:37
  It's happening in Africa.
• 9:38
  It's happening all over the world in some ways.
• 9:40
  It's happening right here in our country.
• 9:42
  And we need to address that freedom that Jesus and Jesus alone can give us.
• 9:50
  So EW, is it true that it was the Republicans and the Christians who were the ones that
• 9:57
  worked to abolish slavery, very simple, concept and question, but most people don't think
• 10:04
  that's true.
• 10:05
  No, because they've been miseducated.
• 10:08
  The fact of the matter is not only did the Republican Party, the Republican Party was
• 10:13
  founded on the principle that slavery should end.
• 10:17
  Number one, which is why the Civil War erupted when Abraham Lincoln was elected because
• 10:21
  he was an anti-slavery president and political leader.
• 10:26
  But they've been miseducated to believe that Republicans are racist.
• 10:30
  Democrats are good.
• 10:31
  When in fact, as I point out in that video, the Democrats were the party of segregation.
• 10:36
  They were the party of the Ku Klux Klan.
• 10:38
  They were the party of denying black people the right to vote.
• 10:41
  And by the way, it wasn't even the majority in the South that was supporting all of this,
• 10:48
  but the elite leaders who were leading everybody to believe that somehow black folks were
• 10:53
  a threat to their well-being.
• 10:56
  But the majority of the country, frankly, has always wanted to transcend race, but they've
• 11:01
  had a whole lot of help not doing that.
• 11:04
  So that's what my video is all about in part.
• 11:07
  And that's what my ministry is all about in part, bringing people together the way God
• 11:11
  would want us to come together as opposed to what the devil is trying to do.
• 11:15
  And using the left, frankly, the Democrat Party to do it.
• 11:18
  Kill, steal, and destroy, right, and deceive.
• 11:22
  So you can get that on YouTube Exodus now on your channel, EW Jackson.
• 11:27
  Where else can people watch that?
• 11:29
  Is that the best place?
• 11:30
  Well, they can watch it on.
• 11:31
  We have a political action committee, a super PAC, standAmericaPAC.us.
• 11:37
  They can watch it there.
• 11:40
  And so you're right.
• 11:41
  I mean, it's on our Facebook page, EW Jackson SR.
• 11:45
  And if they have a difficulty finding it, just email me at EW Jackson at EW Jackson.com.
• 11:52
  And we will send them the link so that they can watch it.
• 11:55
  That's easy.
• 11:56
  EW Jackson at EW Jackson.com.
• 11:59
  So one more question before we just briefly pause.
• 12:03
  We talked before we got on the podcast today about the left, how they want to, they're
• 12:08
  saying that they want to help the black community.
• 12:11
  They want to help, like Lyndon Johnson, eradicate poverty and help the inner city.
• 12:16
  And his programs and the big government did just the opposite.
• 12:22
  And it seems like it's just been growing in the wrong direction and no one's been able
• 12:26
  to stop it since.
• 12:28
  That was the mid to late 1960s.
• 12:30
  So your quick thoughts on that EW?
• 12:32
  The history of the left, not only in America, but ever since its inception when Karl Marx
• 12:38
  theorized communism is not about helping people.
• 12:41
  It's about power.
• 12:42
  And that's what they want.
• 12:44
  And they don't care what kind of chaos, pain, anguish, destruction, they have to stand
• 12:49
  on in order to have that power.
• 12:51
  They'll stand on the rubble of broken lives as long as they're on the top.
• 12:55
  And that's exactly what's happened to the black community, broken families, no public
• 12:59
  safety, terrible educational systems.
• 13:04
  You name it.
• 13:06
  Everything that you can think of that's negative is what they've engineered.
• 13:09
  And yet they present themselves as racial saviors, which is a lie out of the pit of hell.
• 13:14
  Yeah, we've got to take a pause and amen, by the way, rather than helping the inner cities
• 13:19
  in the black community, they're sending billions of dollars to Ukraine and they're spending
• 13:24
  money to bring illegal immigrants in.
• 13:27
  It's just astounding what's going on.
• 13:29
  And I hope there's more people that are going to hold them accountable and try to resist
• 13:32
  this.
• 13:33
  But we've got to take a break.
• 13:34
  We'll be right back with EW Jackson.

  He'll get right back to you.
• 14:12
  So EW Jackson, the website, stand, it's standamerica.us.
• 14:20
  And I want to ask you about some stats.
• 14:24
  We were talking before what's happening in the black community.
• 14:27
  You said in that video, Exodus, now you said 87% who graduate from inner city schools are
• 14:35
  functionally illiterate.
• 14:37
  Now we know there are problems with the education system.
• 14:39
  Actually it's interesting though, it's doing what it's designed to do when you talk about
• 14:43
  Marxism and social justice activism.
• 14:45
  It's not designed to uphold the biblical world view.
• 14:49
  But 87% who graduate from inner city schools functionally illiterate.
• 14:55
  Is anyone doing anything?
• 14:56
  People probably don't even know that.
• 14:58
  Well, look, the best thing I can say to people is get your children out of those schools.
• 15:04
  And that's why I'm a big proponent of educational choice.
• 15:06
  And in the video, I draw the analogy.
• 15:08
  I say, you know, the racists of the antebellum period had outlawed reading for black people.
• 15:15
  You could not teach them the read because they were afraid that reading would make them
• 15:19
  more independent and want them make them want freedom.
• 15:22
  Say, but now the Democrat Party, instead of teaching people to read is teaching them,
• 15:27
  you can be a different gender than the one you were born in, you know, teaching them all
• 15:31
  kinds of sexual perversion, rather than actually buckling down and using phonetics and teaching
• 15:38
  children to read, to write, to think, and as I said before, because it's not about serving
• 15:44
  humanity or serving human beings, it's about power.
• 15:48
  And it's much easier to control people who are semi literate or illiterate than it is
• 15:54
  to control people who are literate and well read and can really think for themselves.
• 15:58
  So yeah, the system system is in a shambles.
• 16:02
  We used my wife and I started a school called Maximum Potential Christian Academy.
• 16:06
  And I would encourage every Christian out there to get your children out of these government
• 16:10
  schools.
• 16:11
  They are a disaster.
• 16:13
  Could you please mention that Academy again?
• 16:15
  Yes.
• 16:16
  Call the Maximum Potential Christian Academy.
• 16:19
  Okay.
• 16:20
  And I think the Maximum Potential Christian Academy website for it, the website is mpcacademy.com.
• 16:31
  Great.
• 16:32
  That's praise God.
• 16:33
  And we've been pushing that for years and years.
• 16:34
  One of our colleagues here is Alex Newman.
• 16:36
  He reports for Freedom Project Media.
• 16:39
  We are brothers that have been fighting this battle for a long time.
• 16:43
  I love his writing and his voice.
• 16:46
  But let's talk about, well, first of all, I want to go back to your story because you
• 16:50
  went to Harvard.
• 16:51
  You graduated from Harvard.
• 16:53
  And so you did it.
• 16:54
  I'm guessing that maybe you had, you know, I don't even know if you had both of your parents.
• 17:00
  If you came from a background of poverty, just share a little bit about your story because
• 17:05
  kids today don't know that kind of background from the black community.
• 17:10
  There are some people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
• 17:13
  I was born not knowing what a spoon was.
• 17:16
  Wow.
• 17:17
  I was born into a broken home.
• 17:19
  I was placed in the care at the age of 14 months old.
• 17:23
  By the time I was at 10 years old, I was a member of a gang.
• 17:26
  I was committing petty crimes.
• 17:28
  I was a constant truant.
• 17:31
  I rarely went to school because we were busy doing other things like gang fights and stealing
• 17:37
  and all of that.
• 17:38
  And looking up to people who had been to the penitentiary, like those are the heroes
• 17:41
  that we ought to emulate.
• 17:42
  So it was bad.
• 17:43
  And my father rescued me dramatically one day when I was 10 years old, summer in August,
• 17:50
  that was hanging out on the street corner with my gang.
• 17:52
  My father pulled up, pulled me into his car, took me to the foster home and dramatically
• 17:57
  announced that he was taking custody of me with no court order, no nothing.
• 18:02
  He just did it and my life's trajectory changed literally overnight because my father
• 18:07
  taught me, this is the greatest nation in the world.
• 18:10
  You have opportunities at a bound, but it's up to you what you're going to do with your
• 18:13
  life.
• 18:14
  And I'm going to hold you accountable.
• 18:16
  And he did.
• 18:17
  And I went from an F student at fifth grade to an A student at sixth grade.
• 18:20
  And when all my father had a sixth grade education went on to see his son graduate from Harvard
• 18:24
  Law School.
• 18:25
  Wow.
• 18:26
  Well, praise God.
• 18:27
  He got to see that.
• 18:29
  What a proud moment that must have been for your dad, huh?
• 18:32
  Well, you know, I think about it.
• 18:34
  You probably heard the news.
• 18:35
  Washington State just abolished the bar exam because minorities don't do well on these
• 18:40
  tests.
• 18:41
  I passed two bar exams at the same time and I don't say that bragging on myself.
• 18:46
  I said, basically, the bragging on the God of grace and the way I was taught.
• 18:51
  I was just never taught.
• 18:52
  Oh, you can't, you know, you're not quite adequate.
• 18:55
  You can't.
• 18:56
  I just was my dad told me son, no excuses.
• 19:01
  I don't accept them.
• 19:03
  So, you know, it's, it's the family, David, and fathers, particularly getting fathers
• 19:09
  back in the home, not only in the black community, but all over America.
• 19:12
  I think it's one of the most critical social crisis we face now.
• 19:16
  And in the future, if we're going to have a country that is at peace and stable, well,
• 19:20
  let's talk about that.
• 19:21
  I was going to mention, I do want to mention the fact that with your background, you
• 19:25
  ended up being a Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor.
• 19:29
  You were a candidate for U.S. Senate in Virginia.
• 19:32
  You've been on Fox News, Newsmax, one American now CBN News, and that's, it's more amazing
• 19:37
  to know where you came from up until what, sixth grade.
• 19:40
  But let's talk about the black community and fatherlessness briefly, because that's
• 19:44
  a problem that apparently no one knows how to fix EW or we would fix that, wouldn't
• 19:49
  we?
• 19:50
  By the way, I ran for president two for six months, you learned, you learned the hard way.
• 19:58
  For me, you didn't give me any, absolutely, would not cover me.
• 20:03
  But you want to talk about fatherhood and was that the question?
• 20:09
  Yeah, fatherlessness in the black community, how no one seems to know how to fix that.
• 20:14
  Well, we are establishing something.
• 20:16
  We have a project called America's Forgotten Children, because people don't know since
• 20:21
  the defund the police movement, almost 600 innocent children have died in the streets
• 20:26
  of our cities.
• 20:27
  We've talked about gang bangers dying in street fights.
• 20:30
  I'm talking about innocent kids, three months old, one month old, five years old, six
• 20:35
  years old, ten years old, because some gang bug decides they're going to shoot up the
• 20:40
  neighborhood, or they're going to just go out and hurt people and children are dying.
• 20:45
  And look, the kids committing these crimes have one thing in common, overwhelmingly.
• 20:52
  They are growing up in single parent female headed households and they have no fathers
• 20:56
  to give them any kind of guidance, often their fathers are dead or in prison, or they
• 21:00
  don't even know them.
• 21:01
  And so we started something to respond to that call the the family restoration institute
• 21:08
  in which we're going, we're developing a curriculum to try to start teaching young men
• 21:12
  what it means to be a father, what it means to be a husband, what it means to have a stable
• 21:16
  family, because frankly, they have no model of it around them.
• 21:20
  Wow, you've got on your website standamerica.us.
• 21:24
  If you go under projects, you've got all kinds of things you guys are active in doing,
• 21:29
  awakening hearts and minds, fellowship churches, minister taking a stand.
• 21:35
  Thank you, EW, for all that you're involved with and trying to do.
• 21:38
  But we want to move on because briefly, we want to talk about your new books.
• 21:41
  Are we, didn't get here sooner, but you've got a brand new book called Sweet Land of Liberty
• 21:47
  and it's available at standamerica.us and other places, reflections of a patriot descended
• 21:53
  from slaves.
• 21:55
  So EW, tell us about the book.
• 21:58
  Well, David, I really believe that if, and I have, if people ask me, you're going to write
• 22:02
  some more and I say, I think I've got two or three more books in me, but I really believe
• 22:05
  this is going to be the most important book I've ever written because what I do is put America
• 22:11
  in context, say Sweet Land of Liberty.
• 22:13
  That's what it is to me, and I, and I've descended from slaves, but I really believe I
• 22:19
  point out, I don't believe I'm in America because of slavery.
• 22:23
  I believe I'm in America by the hand of God.
• 22:25
  Amen.
• 22:26
  I believe God had a better place for me than those people who never left Africa will ever
• 22:31
  experience unless they come to America and God had opportunities for me and plans for
• 22:36
  me and America is the place where those things were permitted to unfold.
• 22:41
  And so what I try to point out to people is you got to see America in context, slavery,
• 22:46
  a peculiar institution, it wasn't peculiar at all, David.
• 22:50
  I mean, it was a worldwide phenomenon, practice everywhere on earth.
• 22:56
  And so this whole thing of this African slavery being something unique, special thing, it
• 23:01
  was not intergenerational slavery was not.
• 23:04
  And so I try to help people understand, you know, we began in that context.
• 23:08
  That was the way of the world, but America transcended it as no other nation ever has
• 23:13
  with the declaration of independence, words quoted by Dr. King on the steps of the Lincoln
• 23:18
  Memorial.
• 23:19
  And so what I'm trying to do is inspire people to see the gift you've been given to be
• 23:25
  an American and to be thankful for it and then to take action to utilize that gift in
• 23:31
  the best way you know how.
• 23:33
  You know, we've got a bunch of people in our country who know how to tear things down.
• 23:36
  And I often say these people criticizing the founding fathers have built nothing, created
• 23:40
  nothing, established nothing.
• 23:42
  And they want to criticize a group of men who established the greatest nation in the
• 23:46
  history of mankind.
• 23:47
  I'll take the founding fathers over these knuckleheads any day.
• 23:51
  Oh, you and me both and I'm sure everybody in our viewing audience.
• 23:54
  But I know you also write a little bit about limiting the power of government and preserving
• 23:59
  our freedom, what the Constitution was originally designed to do and to prevent.
• 24:05
  And what's happening now is just is really astounding.
• 24:09
  But it is the left, the power of the left trying to destroy, deconstruct America, breaking
• 24:14
  down the Christian values and then morality, then the institutions.
• 24:19
  It's by design, but we haven't had enough men of God in the church and the church should
• 24:24
  have been fighting back all these years.
• 24:25
  So maybe your thoughts briefly EW on just that the church, what can the remnant church
• 24:31
  do because some of them are just trying to maybe play church and just attract a crowd.
• 24:35
  They're trying to be like the world to attract a big audience and they're not giving them
• 24:39
  the gospel.
• 24:40
  They're not equipping the saints.
• 24:41
  They're not impacting culture for righteousness.
• 24:44
  So what can the average citizen or church, I'm sorry, Christian do?
• 24:48
  Well, George Washington, my favorite American figure, a war and that not even a sacred document
• 24:54
  like the Constitution could resist outsized ambition and corrupt morals.
• 25:01
  And I thought he wrote that over 200 years ago and here we are.
• 25:05
  That's exactly what we're seeing.
• 25:06
  And frankly, I think if the Christian community does not stand up, as I said earlier, I don't
• 25:12
  see what the hope for America is because we understand liberty as no other group of people,
• 25:18
  no other demographic can because we know it's essential to getting the gospel of Jesus
• 25:23
  Christ out.
• 25:24
  The moment you take away liberty and by the way, it's being eroded now, we've got something
• 25:28
  Paul reached that we're just starting with the revolt to end anti-Christian hatred because
• 25:33
  we really see a rise of anti-Christian bigotry and hatred in our country and Christians are
• 25:39
  the problem.
• 25:40
  Christians are in the way.
• 25:41
  They're in the way of abortion.
• 25:43
  They're in the way of transgenderism and homosexuality and they're in the way of government
• 25:48
  doing all the things.
• 25:49
  No, we are the ones who are the guardians of liberty with the guardians of what makes
• 25:57
  this country so special.
• 25:58
  So the Christians have got to stand up.
• 26:00
  I always end my programs as they stand up, step up, speak up, refuse to back up.
• 26:04
  I love that.
• 26:05
  That's what Christians have got to do.
• 26:08
  Yeah.
• 26:09
  We should be in the way of evil.
• 26:11
  We should be exposing the deeds of darkness.
• 26:13
  We should be standing, protecting children, which it's astounding to me, and that just
• 26:19
  shows me, I think he, W most parents, just are not aware of what's happening.
• 26:23
  They're a little ignorant about what's going on, whether it's the government schools or
• 26:26
  social media or the agendas to reach and access young children.
• 26:31
  But anyway, that's for another time.
• 26:33
  Lord willing, we'll have you on again, but I want to remind people, standAmerica.us and
• 26:37
  the book is called Sweet Land of Liberty.
• 26:42
  We're just so blessed to have you on, EW.
• 26:44
  It's good to reconnect again and Lord willing, we'll do it again soon.
• 26:48
