- 0:00Ah, hi, everybody, this is Ron Reagan. I'm sitting with my
- 0:02wife Nancy, and we're up there in that heavenly ranch listening to the Ron
- 0:07Edwards American Experience. Prepare for launching three two one kind away we go s
- 0:24m see see see see Ladies and gentlemen, It's the Ron Edwards American Experienced
- 0:47talk show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now your radio refreshment,
- 0:55Ron Edwards. Well, good day, good day, hello, and how
- 1:26are you. I'm Ron Edwards and welcome to this edition of the Ron Edwards
- 1:30American Experience. And yeah, it's that time of year again as we celebrate
- 1:36and recognize our nation's independence. And happy birthday to America. Hey, I'm
- 1:42taking more than one day to recognize that, because you know, the fact
- 1:47is, if you can take a whole month for certain people to recognize an
- 1:52unnatural lifestyle, I can certainly take more than one day to recognize the birthday
- 1:57of this great nation. And someone's going to be joining me in a few
- 2:01minutes to also recognize our nation's independence and share some of his wisdom. William
- 2:07Federer, great historian and man. He has wonderful books and has spoken so
- 2:13eloquently through the years about our nation's history. So we're going to be talking
- 2:20with him this day. But in the meantime, it seems that you know,
- 2:24Hollywood Mogul Airy Manual for example, you know, people like him,
- 2:30are getting quite worried because they see and recognize that Uncle Joe Biden is just
- 2:35not fit for the call any longer. They're finally admitting, hey, Joe,
- 2:39you got to hang it up. But Uncle Joe, despite some recent
- 2:44reports, says that he's not hanging them up. He's not getting out.
- 2:49You know. Jill, Jill, doctor Jill. I wonder what she's a
- 2:53doctor of been trying to find out. She just calls herself doctor. I
- 2:59guess running a But anyway, he's not stepping down. Democrats want him to
- 3:07get out of office, though, but I don't think it's going to do
- 3:10it because on the other hand, while many of them want him to leave,
- 3:15at the same time, they're saying that even a dead Joe Biden would
- 3:19be better than Kamala. So that's going to be quite interesting personally. I
- 3:25hope he does step down and maybe during the convention or whatever and they hand
- 3:30it over to Kamala because They're in quite a bit of a pickle because you
- 3:36know, their d DEI mentality, CRT mentality, whatever. They can't do
- 3:45an end and around and go get someone else because, oh my gosh,
- 3:50you know, it was the Democrats who say that it's not about qualifications,
- 3:53it's about gender chosen gender that is, and the color of one's skin.
- 4:00And does Kamala commits you know, she is committed to jump in there if
- 4:05she gets the opportunity. Yeah, that's true. Doug, my producer,
- 4:12just pointed out that the Depress is reporting that Michelle Obama would be a good
- 4:16replacement for Uncle Joe, And yeah, she would be very dynamic. She
- 4:23at least, you know, she can put a bunch of sentences together.
- 4:26She knows how to spell, you know, she's speaking. She doesn't all
- 4:30of a sudden go you know, she completes her thoughts. And that could
- 4:35be a bit more dangerous at least, you know, as far as people
- 4:40wanting to jump in and vote for Michelle. So the beat goes on.
- 4:46My friends, The economy is not where it should be in my humble opinion,
- 4:54yes, it's not super weak at this time, but it's being overburdened
- 4:58as Congress and other officials continue to push for more and more spending. And
- 5:04you know, that really bothers me, and it's bothered me for many many
- 5:09years. How whenever individuals bring up lowering our taxes, and I think about
- 5:16Independence Day and I'm reminded very quickly that the founders one of the thing reasons
- 5:24why they went to Nutsville and said, you know, and we've had enough
- 5:26of this stuff of King George is because of a three percent tax. Could
- 5:31you imagine that they were alive today. Suddenly they were brought back and they
- 5:35could see our heavy tax rates. They would have thought that we've totally gone
- 5:41to Nutsville. They would have thought, oh my god, they gave up
- 5:44the ghost. I don't know, by the eighteen hundreds. And it is
- 5:49unreasonable our tax burden in this country today. And you know, we've got
- 5:58to lower the taxes to stimulate the economy. But at the same time,
- 6:02they've got to cut the spending. That's the problem. But they like to
- 6:06ignore that, especially during the political season, and they just blamed Trump for
- 6:11the deficits. And yes, he did allow a lot of the spending.
- 6:14But even though technically the president is not in charge of the money or not
- 6:17supposed to be. It is the Congress, and the Congress should have shown
- 6:24restraint during the Trump administration and now during the Uncle Joe administration, and so
- 6:33now we have when you combine the debt and the deficit, I think it's
- 6:36around fifty eight trillion dollars. And if it was not the United States of
- 6:43America and this special setup that we have, the nation would have long ago
- 6:47collapsed. We would have been smashed a long time ago. But we're getting
- 6:51to the point where even the great United States of America can no longer shoulder
- 6:57the amount of debt that is being heaped upon we the people. I think
- 7:01each household now technically is burdened with well over one hundred thousand dollars in debt.
- 7:09And we had nothing to do with this debt and deficit. And so
- 7:13yeah, this has to be rained in before it's too late. And speaking
- 7:17about weakness, you know, the founding fathers would also be quite upset if
- 7:28they were to come back and see how this nation has entangled itself and so
- 7:33many struggle war struggles and conflict struggles struggles around the world. Again, they
- 7:40would think we were retarded with the way this nation is entangled with what's going
- 7:46on in Ukraine between Ukraine and Russia, knowing that NATO has provoked the bear,
- 7:53poked the bear, stoked fires right almost at the border of the Bear,
- 7:59and you know, us continuing to sell wolf tickets to Putin, who
- 8:05was now shown up with not him personally, but he is. He has
- 8:09made sure that we see some of their power and the willingness to poke us
- 8:13back with their warships and their giant submarine not far from our coastline, and
- 8:22other things that are going on around the world. China has you know,
- 8:26captured a a Taiwanese boat or a vessel and it's told Taiwan you better not
- 8:35get involved now. That is not a show of weakness of the United States
- 8:41of America. I don't know, what does. I really don't. And
- 8:46so it is time to stop acting like little children in the in the government,
- 8:54spending like drunken sailors, acting like for in some cases. But a
- 9:05nation, I'm going to tell you something right now, a nation that ends
- 9:11up with the quality of candidates that we have been dealing with for many years,
- 9:18like a Joe Biden, like a Nasty Pelosi, like a Maxine Waters
- 9:22a pile of communist oriented nitwits, and these are the pool of degenerates that
- 9:30the American people have been satisfied in choosing between for many, many years.
- 9:35And that's why sometimes every once in a while, I say, you know
- 9:39what, we the people need to take a look in the mirror and check
- 9:43ourselves, and we have to question ourselves and what we've been satisfied with.
- 9:52Now, I've never voted Democrat in my entire life, but then I look
- 9:54across the island, I see some of my Republicans, and they look as
- 9:58bad as Democrats, in fact, in the sense worse because they know better.
- 10:03The platform of the Republican Party is usually very, very wonderful, but
- 10:05they're not for the most part, living up to it either to what it
- 10:09should be concerning governing this nation. So that's why they're called the uniparty,
- 10:16the founding fathers. Man. I tell you, I'd be totally embarrassed if
- 10:20they were. If Guy were to bring them back alive, just to give
- 10:24them a tour of what's going on DC right now. Oh my goodness.
- 10:31But anyway, we're going to have some a better conversation when we return on

- 13:46the United States of America and the Internet. Hello William and welcome back.
- 13:52It's great to be with you, Ron, great to have you, sir.
- 13:58I checked out your latest American Minute and which featureds you talk about King
- 14:03George ruling the largest empire you know ever known. Basically, they used to
- 14:09say that the sun never set on the British Empire. And it is amazing,
- 14:16sir, how today during this time of we're supposed to be in the
- 14:22land of liberty. But I don't think so. What say you? Yeah,
- 14:28the King of England was a globalist. He was a one world government
- 14:33guide with him at the top, the sun never set on the British Empire,
- 14:35as you mentioned, and America founders didn't like a globalist king telling us
- 14:41what to do, so they broke away and flipped it and made the people
- 14:43the king. So kings have subjects who were subjected to their will. Republics
- 14:48have citizens. The word citizen means co king, co ruler, co sovereign.
- 14:54And so when we pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic,
- 14:56were basically pledging allegiance to us being charge of ourselves. And so when somebody
- 15:01protests the flag, what they're saying is I don't want to be the king
- 15:03anymore I protest this system where I participated in ruling myself. It's like,
- 15:07okay, somebody else will tell you what to do. And so the King
- 15:13of England ruled abusively. And so the Declaration of Independence lists twenty seven of
- 15:20the abuses that the king did. One is he had a two tier justice
- 15:26system. Imagine that it said he has made judges dependent on his will alone.
- 15:31And then he weaponized the bureaucracy. Imagine that says he erected a multitude
- 15:37of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat
- 15:41out their substance. He imposed martial law, he's kept among us in time
- 15:46to be standing armies. And then he targeted his political opponents for depriving us
- 15:54in many cases of the benefit of trial by jury, for establishing an arbitrary
- 15:58government for all during fundamentally the forms of our government. And then he turned
- 16:03law enforcement and the military against his own subjects. Could you imagine that he
- 16:08has punder our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, destroyed our
- 16:11lives and our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign
- 16:15mercenaries to complete the works of death, the desolation, and tyranny. And
- 16:22then he stirred up the Indians. Right, so the American and Indians had
- 16:25reached an equilibrium with the British come in and stir him up to scalp.
- 16:29And it says he has excited domestic insurrection among us and has endeavored to bring
- 16:33on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rural
- 16:38warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions. And
- 16:42so you had thirty three year old Thomas Jefferson draw up the Declaration of Independence,
- 16:48and he originally it got rid of slavery. It condemned the King of
- 16:56England because he was a part owner of the Royal African Company, and Jefferson
- 17:02wrote, the King has waged cruel war against human nature itself in the persons
- 17:07of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery
- 17:11in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation, thither suppressing
- 17:18every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this exorable commerce. Determined to keep open
- 17:23a market where men should be bought and sold. So originally that was in
- 17:29the declaration, but South Carolina and Georgia wouldn't go along with it, and
- 17:33they had made the decision that it needed to be unanimous, and British were
- 17:37setting fire to New York and so they panicked and said, we'll deal with
- 17:41slavery later. How we wish they would have dealt with it rise. Then
- 17:47John Hancock signed the declaration. He says, the price on my head is
- 17:49just doubled. Then Secretary Charles Thompson, he later compiled the put together a
- 17:56translation of the Bible. Seventy year old Ben Franklin said, we must hang
- 18:02together, or most assuredly, we will hang separately. The King infringed on
- 18:07people's creator given rights, and that the declaration is going above the King's head.
- 18:14So like if you lose a case, you appeal it and then you
- 18:17appeal to the Supreme Court. But what if you lose there, well,
- 18:18you go above their head to the creator. And that's what the founder said.
- 18:22That they said, appealing to the supreme judge of the world for the
- 18:26rectitude of our intention. And the one line in the declaration where it says
- 18:33all men are created equal, that was not the way it was in England
- 18:38because the king did not believe all men were created equal. He believed he
- 18:42was created a little extra special. It's called divine right of King's God.
- 18:47Jose me, I'm the king, I got an army. I'm going to
- 18:48make you obey out of fear. But the declaration bypasses the king, and
- 18:55it says the Creator gives the rights directly to each person. And so can
- 19:00I join? Real? Quick ahead, quick, I'd like to ask you
- 19:06what the exception of martial law? Just about everything that you've enumerated seems to
- 19:11be in place today. And when it comes to taxation, we're under a
- 19:17bigger burden than those who fought against King George. What say you? Yeah,
- 19:25well you had. The British took over India and ben Gall and they
- 19:32decided that the way that they had been doing their agriculture for centuries was not
- 19:37profitable. So they disrupted their entire way of doing things. You know,
- 19:42But the British didn't understand monsoons and droughts. And guess what. There was
- 19:45a famine in seventeen seventy and it killed ten million people in Benall. So
- 19:52the British East India Company was facing bankruptcy. There's nothing coming out of there
- 19:57to sell in England, and so the King said, okay, well you
- 20:00could tax and have monopolies. Well, the people in England said, we
- 20:04don't want to have to pay more, and so the King said, okay,
- 20:08tax the colonies. And so not only did they tax the colonies,
- 20:12they put out a business the middleman, and so tea was the number one
- 20:18beverage. Now it's coffee, but back then it was tea, and the
- 20:23people would buy it from ships and then sell it. But just cut out
- 20:29the middleman. And it prohibited other countries, the Dutch, the French and
- 20:33some of the others from importing stuff. And then the king forbad the people
- 20:37to issue their own currencies and had to use the king's currency. And then
- 20:41the king appointed all the judges and anyway, he kept tightening the screws,
- 20:45and it kept getting worse and worse than you had the Boston tea party and
- 20:49then the Boston massacre where they fired into a crowd and the British recorder and
- 20:53the people's homes, and then it broke out into war. But it was
- 21:02we didn't have an army. We just had, you know, volunteers right
- 21:06off the farm, and we were taking on the most powerful military on planet
- 21:10Earth. So it was an amazing achievement that they did. Took eight years,
- 21:17but they gave us a present, and that present is we get to
- 21:19be in charge of our lives, and all this together are in charge of
- 21:22the country. And so founders were human, they had faults, but they
- 21:29put us in charge of our lives. That's when Franklin is coming out of
- 21:33the Constitutional Convention and a missus Powell said, well, what did you give
- 21:37us? A republican a monarchy? And Franklin's at a republic if you can
- 21:40keep it, meaning they understood that the Republicans depends on the citizens having morals,
- 21:47and if they give up morals, it's going to turn to chaos.
- 21:48You know. One of the things that I noticed, I did a book
- 21:52on the history of socialism, and I noticed that when dictators want to take
- 21:57over a country, they will like let illegal immigrants in who will do terrorism,
- 22:03and then they'll blame the terrorism on their political opponents, and then they'll
- 22:07use that as an excuse to round up all their political opponents and lock them
- 22:11away. And then when the dust settles, there's no political opponents left,
- 22:17and the country's now rule as a dictatorship, so that could possibly be the
- 22:22next step is to have the government behind between now and the election having some
- 22:30type of orchestrated crisis that they can blame on their opponents. And then you
- 22:36know, imagine if there's a lot of illegals not just doing George Flow riots
- 22:40and taken over downtown Seattle autonomous zones, but actually having killings, and then
- 22:45the responsible government come in and they'll bring in their woke army and set up
- 22:48martial law and everybody will be happy for a while. Then they'll realize you
- 22:52can't have an election during this time. So hopefully that won't happen. But
- 22:57historically during the Cold War, these type of tactics were used. Yeah,
- 23:03and you know, I've had those kind of nightmares thoughts myself, and you
- 23:08know, just looking at the way things are playing out and how easily you
- 23:15know, many Americans will often fall for a crisis, and then when the
- 23:18government comes in with their solutions, which make things worse in the long run,
- 23:23and it just goes on and on and on. And you look at
- 23:26history around the world and you see these kinds of patterns as well that have
- 23:30happened in our hemisphere. And we just have to get back to teaching real
- 23:37history about our country and in our schools, and I think that will go
- 23:41a long way in restoring this republic. I want to I got a question
- 23:48in relation to that. I'm going to hold it until we come back from
- 23:51the break. And you're listening to the Run Edwards American Experience. Independence Day

- 25:21founding of the United States of America. It may be shocking to most Christians
- 25:25today, but it was New England ministers who played a key role in rallying
- 25:29support for war against the tyranny of King George. Hello, I'm ron Edwards
- 25:34on today's page from the Efforts Notebook. Ministers pressed their congregations to overthrow King
- 25:40George because they believed that rebellion against tyrants was obedience to God. From many
- 25:45pulpits, ministers recruited troops and strengthened them for battle. Those church leaders knew
- 25:52that the Bible places great emphasis on due submission to civil authorities, but they
- 25:56also noted that many passages approve resistance to ungodly authority. It is therefore no
- 26:03coincidence that one of the slogans of the American Revolutions was no king but King
- 26:07Jesus. Most of the patriots, including men of the cloth, found in
- 26:11their faith and in God's word, the courage to risk their lives and properties
- 26:17in order to break the tyranny of an unjust human authority. The ministers of
- 26:22the revolution understood that freedom and liberty emanate from freedom in Christ and the principles
- 26:29emanated in the Word of God. I pray the ministers of today will stand
- 26:33for true liberty in Christ and in America. I'm run Edwards to join the

- 27:00on Tatar Talk Radio Network, Nobody Works Radio Network Network dot FM. Well,
- 27:10I remember a teacher that I had. Now I only went I went
- 27:12through the seventh grade. I went to the seventh grade and I left home
- 27:15when I was ten years old because I was hungry and I used to do
- 27:18I work in the summer and I go to school in the winter. But
- 27:21I had this one teacher. It was the principal of the Harrison School in
- 27:25Vincennes, Indiana. To me, this was the greatest teacher, a real
- 27:27sage of my time. Anyhow, he had such wisdom, and we were
- 27:33all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance one day and he walked over this little old
- 27:37teacher, mister Lasswell was his name, mister Lastwell. This is he says.
- 27:45I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all
- 27:52semester, and it seems as though it's becoming monotonous to you. If I
- 27:57may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of
- 28:04each word. I me an individual, a committee of one pledge dedicate all
- 28:17of my worldly goods to give without self pity, allegiance, my love,
- 28:23and my devotion to the flag, our standard old glory, a symbol of
- 28:33freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a
- 28:41dignity that shouts Freedom is everybody's job. United. That means that we have
- 28:49all come together, states, individual communities that have united into forty eight great
- 28:57states' forty eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with
- 29:06imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose. And that's love for country
- 29:14and to the republic. Republic a state in which sovereign power is invested in
- 29:21representative chosen by the people to govern, and government is the people, and
- 29:27it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people
- 29:33for which it stands one nation, one nation, meaning so blessed by God,
- 29:45indivisible, incapable of being divided. With liberty, which is freedom,
- 29:53the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear, or
- 30:00some sort of retaliation, and justice the principle are qualities of dealing fairly with
- 30:07others, for all, for all, which means, boys and girls,
- 30:17it's as much your country as it is mine. And now, boys and
- 30:22girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance
- 30:30to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic, for
- 30:36which it stands one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Since
- 30:45I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country,
- 30:52and two words have been added to the Pledge of allegiance Under God. Wouldn't
- 31:00be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be
- 31:04eliminated from schools to that with a great red skeleton, giving His honor to
- 31:15our nation and to our creator. Good stuff from the past, and one
- 31:22thing from the past that we should never ever forget is our liberties, which
- 31:25do come from God, which should be the foundation for our future as well.
- 31:30Our guest today is William J. Federer. Americanminute dot Com is his
- 31:34website. He is a nationally known speaker, best selling author, and president
- 31:38of Ame Research, Inc. And a publishing company dedicated to researching America's noble
- 31:47and wonderful heritage. Welcome back, mister Federer. Before the breakup was alluding
- 31:52to something that's very important that in order for our republic to be truly great
- 32:00again, we always often talk about that make America great again. Well,
- 32:05she cannot be great again, she cannot maintain greatness without first beginning once again
- 32:09to make sure that our children are taught properly once again in our schools.
- 32:16Because what is taught to one generation dictates to the rich and the nation takes
- 32:22in the next. What say you, yeah, I use a little example
- 32:28of computers. So your a spirit, mind and body, and so your
- 32:31mind is like a super fancy computer. It's more than that, but it's
- 32:35at least that, and your body's like the computer case, which makes it
- 32:38silly for people to argue or what color the computer case is. Imagine if
- 32:43I were to say blue computers are better than green computers. It's like,
- 32:45it doesn't matter what color the computers. What matters what software is on.
- 32:49It doesn't matter what color your iPhone is. Is what apps are on.
- 32:52It doesn't matter what color somebody's skin is. Is what behavioral software is running
- 32:57on their brain? Is that love people and turn your to the other cheek
- 33:00and walked the extra mile and doing to others as you had them doing to
- 33:04you. Or is it cancel them, get them to lose their job and
- 33:07so forth. So the battle is who gets to load the software on the
- 33:09next generation's brains. And the other side was to put malware and corrupted files
- 33:15and viruses on their brains and confuse them. And it's our job to put
- 33:19God's software on there. Right to love your enemy and then love your neighbor
- 33:23and all the rest. So the history is so important, you know,
- 33:30one of the things I highlight is the sacrifice that the founders gave. You
- 33:36know, fifty six signers of the declaration, Eleven had their homes destroyed,
- 33:43five were hunted and captured seventeen served in the military. Nine died during the
- 33:46war. Twenty seven year old George Walton signed the declaration. He was captured
- 33:52at the Battle of Savannah. Signer Edward Rutledge twenty seven years old and Thomas
- 33:58Hayward Junior thirty years old Arthur Middleton thirty four years old were captured and made
- 34:02prisoners at the Seage at Charlestown. Thirty eight year old Thomas Nelson had his
- 34:08home used as a British headquarters during the Siege of Yorktown. Nelson reportedly offered
- 34:14five guineas for the first man to hit his house. Signer Carter Braxton,
- 34:19aged forty, lost his fortune during the war. Forty two year old Thomas
- 34:22McKean wrote that he was hunted like a fox by the enemy, compelled to
- 34:27remove my family five times in three months, and then forty six year old
- 34:30Richard Stockton signed and was dragged from his bed at night and jailed. Fifty
- 34:37year old signer Lewis Morris had his home taken and used as a barracks.
- 34:40Fifty year old signer Abraham Clark had two sons tortured and imprisoned on the British
- 34:45starving ship Jersey. More Americans died on British starving ships than died in battle
- 34:52during the Revolution. Fifty three year old signer Reverend John Witherspoon, his son
- 34:57James, was killed at the Battle of Germantown. Sixty year old Philip Livingston
- 35:02signed. He lost several properties to the British occupation and died before the war
- 35:07ended. Sixty three year old signer Francis Lewis found out that the British plundered
- 35:14his home, carried away his wife Elizabeth, putting her in prison. The
- 35:19British wanted to make her an example of her, so they denied her a
- 35:22change of clothes, denied her a bed, and gave her nothing but the
- 35:28most meager food. She was treated so harshly that she died shortly after being
- 35:32released. Sixty five year old signer of the Declaration John Hart had his home
- 35:38looted and had to remain hiding, dying before the war ended. Forty one
- 35:45year old John Adams wrote, posterity, you will never know how much it
- 35:49cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good
- 35:53use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that
- 35:59I ever to half the pains to preserve it. And then, regarding the
- 36:04Declaration, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, I'm apt to believe that
- 36:08it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as a great anniversary festival. It ought
- 36:13to be commemorated as a day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God
- 36:20Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pop parade shows, games, sports,
- 36:23guns, bells, bonfires, illuminations from one end of the continent to
- 36:28the other from this time forward forevermore, you know, he mentioned solemn acts
- 36:32of devotion to God Almighty. Gustave de Beaumont, a contemporary of Alexis to
- 36:37tokobl traveled America and he wrote in eighteen thirty five, I have seen a
- 36:45meeting of the Senate in Washington open with a prayer. And the anniversary festival
- 36:50of the Declaration of Independence consists in the United States of an entirely religious ceremony.
- 36:59And then John Adams continued his wife. His letter to his wife,
- 37:01he says, you will think me transported with enthusiasm, but I'm not.
- 37:07I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost
- 37:10us to maintain this declaration and support and defend these states. Yet through all
- 37:15the gloom I can see rays of ravishing light glory. I can see that
- 37:22the end is more than worth all the means, and that posterity will triumph
- 37:29in that day's transaction, even though we should rule it or regret it,
- 37:32which I trust God we shall not. Fifty four year old signer Sam Adams
- 37:38said, we have this day restored the sovereign to whom all men ought to
- 37:44be obedient. He reigns in heaven, and from the rising to the setting
- 37:47of the sun, let his kingdom come. Thirty four year old James Wilson
- 37:52signed the Declaration. He later signed the Constitution and was put on the Supreme
- 37:57Court by George Washington. James Wilson and stated, after a period of six
- 38:02thousand years since creation, the United States exhibit to the world the first instance
- 38:08of a nation assembling voluntarily and deciding that system of government under which they and
- 38:14their posterity should live. So he says, something really unique happened here in
- 38:17America. So did Senator Daniel Webster said in eighteen oh two, miracles do
- 38:24not cluster, and what has happened once in six thousand years, may not
- 38:29happen again. Hold on to the constitution, for if the American Constitution should
- 38:32fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world. Think why would there be
- 38:37anarchy throughout the world if the American Constitution failed? Because for six thousand years
- 38:43of recorded human history, you've had people struggling under the thumbs of tyrants Pharos,
- 38:50Skisers, Saltan Csars, Maharaja, Gengha Khan, Julius Caesar, Untilda,
- 38:54and the people would say, Gee, if only we had a chance
- 38:59to rule ourselves without a king, wouldn't that be wonderful? And in America
- 39:05we did it, and if we blow it, there's nothing left for the
- 39:08world to look forward to. Then what a gang war on a global scale?
- 39:13It'll be the gang leader in China versus the gang leader in Russia versus
- 39:19the gang leader, and Iran versus North Korea. I mean, it's going
- 39:23to be a gang war and human rights are going to be crushed. And
- 39:29you know something with it go ahead, and you know something that we're almost
- 39:34at the end here, but we were almost there now. And in fact,
- 39:38in some cases, this government seems to be worse than other governments around
- 39:45the world. El Salvador, for example, it looks to us as an
- 39:49example and is cleaning its house as I speak, same thing in Argentina.
- 39:54These nations around the world prefer a strong United States of America. I hear
- 39:59from people around the world who say that they pray that we will recover from
- 40:05the position that we're in now as a nation at this coming election, because
- 40:10they, as you just so stated, you know, they realize that if
- 40:16America falters anymore than she is now, it will be chaos around the world.
- 40:22You've got just a few seconds. We don't have them long. But
- 40:24how do you respond to that? Yeah, well that's the globalist great reset.
- 40:30They want to create global crises so that everybody panics and begs the one
- 40:36world government to restore order. You know, have the economy crater and they'll
- 40:39have a CBDC Central bank digital currency, and health crisis surrendered the World Health
- 40:45Organization. So yeah, so you have these groups wanting to create crises.
- 40:50Our response is we need to I believe number one, repent, turn back
- 40:53to the Lord, but number two get everybody involved. Instead of sitting back
- 40:57and saying, oh, it looks really bad, no, do your part.
- 40:59All of us can just think locally, what can we do to turn
- 41:02our local area around. I think the national scene will take care of itself.
- 41:07I finished a new book. It's called Silence Equals Consent, The Sin
- 41:09of Omission. Subtitle is speak now forever lose your freedom. And so the
- 41:15same way that you're silent at a wedding ceremony, you're given your consent.
- 41:17Well, evil's going on in the community, right, maybe an abortion killing
- 41:22babies, and you're silent, you're giving consent to that. If they're teaching
- 41:25a transagenda at school, and you know that Jesus said in the beginning,
- 41:30got made the male and female. And you're silent, you're giving consent to
- 41:34the teaching of something other than what Jesus would teach. And Jesus said,
- 41:37if you allow one of these little ones who believes me to stumble better about
- 41:39a meals, don't we put around your neck? Right? So if we're
- 41:44silent when all the evil's going on, we're actually supporting it. That's what
- 41:49Martin Luther King Junior said. He said, being silent and not protesting evil
- 41:53is cooperating with the evil. So I think that instead it's saying, well,
- 42:00you know, it's really bad. I'm just going to do nothing.
- 42:01It's like no. You show your faith by your works, show what's really
- 42:07in your heart by your actions. Absolutely well, mister, thank you so
- 42:13much for joining us again American Minute dot com. Yeah, thank you so

- 46:30Smith, Hello everybody, It is my happy privilege to introduce God bless America.
- 46:40While the storm cloudscable an fee, Let us swell legion line, Let's
- 46:57free, Let us all be grateful for a line a thing as we raise
- 47:12our boy in us all and pray Ah Blessmarion and the line stand beside her
- 47:36Pan God through the night with the life from the all, from the mall
- 47:46to the prayer through the old wide with wool bless co Yes, God bless
- 48:07America, and may America bless God. This is the Rendezverds American experience.
- 48:12And we are celebrating America's birthday, and there were hoping that she will be
- 48:16restored to greatness. But you know what, my friends, we have suffered
- 48:21a long train of abuses and usurpations of our rights which come from God.
- 48:25We have stood by while governments local, state and federal, and led by
- 48:31both political parties, have pushed to reduce us to be victims of other despotism.
- 48:38Yet still most Americans will not even stand up to the illegal acts of
- 48:43their government. Many don't even know that they're illegal. We keep hoping and
- 48:47praying that some despot will be nice to us. As he or she enslaves
- 48:52us, we act as if one political party or another will come to our
- 48:57rescue. We watched as these people have not only turned us against one another,
- 49:02but against the very foundations of what makes us free and enjoy liberty,
- 49:08which is freedom with responsibility. We have elevated those who have tormented us with
- 49:15their hatred into those who have enslaved us with their rules. We are at
- 49:20the point now that every four years we are told the election of a president
- 49:25is the most important election ever. But as George Washington warned us, my
- 49:30friends, the disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to
- 49:36seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual, And sooner or
- 49:43later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his
- 49:51competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins
- 49:59of pl liberty. This year is no different. Both sides point to the
- 50:04presumptive candidate from the other party and claim they will cause the destruction of our
- 50:10republic. The spirit of revenge, which is so much a party of party
- 50:15politics, has led us to the point where some see only the resolution as
- 50:22a civil war. Have these abuses not gone long enough? Don't you think
- 50:27it's about time that we the people come together and say, hey, wait
- 50:30a minute, this is our land, this is our nation. It is
- 50:34about we the people, and we need to reform this nation to be a
- 50:37nation under God. Much of our torment and turmoil comes from the loss of
- 50:43a basic truth founded in the constitution, a truth so fundamental that it is
- 50:50enshrined in the constitution of most of our states. A truth stated by Thomas
- 50:55Jefferson, that all power is inherent in the people, that they may exercise
- 51:01it by themselves in all cases to which they think themselves competent. A truth
- 51:08contained in the preamble of our Constitution. Let us not forget this. We,
- 51:14the people of the United States, do ordain and establish this Constitution for
- 51:20the United States of America, that the powers we do not delegate to others,
- 51:27we retain for ourselves. The powers not delegated to the United States by
- 51:32the Constitution, though prohibited by it to the States, are reserve to the
- 51:37States, respectively, or to the people, meaning you and I. In
- 51:44short, it seems the American people keep looking for someone else to keep them
- 51:47free. But the power to do so remains where it has always been,
- 51:52in our hearts, in our minds, and in our hands. Either we're
- 51:58going to grasp on this liberty which comes from God, or we will allow
- 52:02it to be taken away from us. The choice is up to you,
- 52:07my friends, my fellow Americans. Hopefully we will together make the right choice.
- 52:13God bless you, God bless America. And may America bless God.
- 52:19And now that I see that my time is up, I certainly thank you
- 52:22for your time with THEV that's AWFULK tax that stays right, And as I
- 52:35always say at this time, remember preak your nation, trek your friends,
- 52:38your family and your enemies, and treat others the same way you would want
- 52:43to be. I'm on edwards next Until next time, my friends, by now,
