Welcome to Peace New Strength, America's Navy.
0:19
I'm your host, Lieutenant Commander Steven Rogers, United
0:22
States Navy retired.
0:24
And presently the executive director of the Association
0:26
of the United States Navy.
0:29
Now, this program that you're about to hear
0:31
is presented by the Association of the United
0:33
States Navy, and we're a nonprofit organization that
0:35
supports U.S.
0:38
Navy and U.S.
0:39
Coast Guard operations, as well as the service
0:41
members and families who support them.
0:44
Let us never forget, never forget those who
0:46
are serving this country in a U.S.
0:48
military uniform, whether it be the Navy, Coast
0:51
Guard, Army, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, wherever,
0:53
whenever.
0:55
Someone is serving this country in the military
0:58
uniform, putting their lives on the line for
1:01
freedom, liberty, and justice around the world.
1:04
I'll tell you what, folks, we should never
1:05
ever forget them.
1:07
And I'm so happy and pleased that, at
1:09
least here in the United States of America.
1:11
We still pay tribute to those who have
1:14
served since the 1700s, even to this day
1:17
in this 21st century.
1:20
Now, if you'd like to learn more about
1:22
the AUSN, that is the Association of the
1:24
United States Navy, you can reach out to
1:26
us through a contact form that we have
1:29
on our website.
1:31
And our website is AUSN.org.
1:34
Or you can go to the America Outloud.news
1:36
website.
1:38
There's a contact form there where you can
1:40
get in touch with me directly.
1:42
Love to hear from you.
1:44
Love to hear from you with regard to
1:46
a lot of the events that are happening
1:48
around the world, uh, a lot of the
1:50
events that are happening with the United States
1:52
military worldwide.
1:54
You need to know that we do have
1:55
thousands of U.S.
1:57
military personnel tuning into this broadcast.
2:00
Some of them are out on ships at
2:02
sea, some of them are at military bases,
2:03
uh, not only here in the United States,
2:05
but also in Europe and other places around
2:07
the world.
2:10
These broadcasts are not only broadcasted on what
2:12
you would call traditional radio networks, but also
2:14
they're being streamed around the world via the
2:16
internet.
2:20
Now, a lot has been going on, as
2:22
all of you are aware of with regard
2:25
to the ongoing negotiations with the Iranian government,
2:28
if you want to call that a government.
2:31
Right now there's a big uh discussion going
2:33
on, uh, trying to find out who exactly
2:36
is in charge of the Iranian government.
2:38
You've got the religious fanatics who say they're
2:40
in charge.
2:42
You've got the Iran's uh the Iranian Revolutionary
2:45
Guard Corps, uh, which is a military organization,
2:48
but not the military, as I'm told.
2:51
Uh there is another branch of the uh
2:54
Iranian military that is your, again, traditional army,
2:56
navy, whatever left of that, uh, Air Force,
2:58
whatever left of that.
3:01
Uh, it's just one big train wreck with
3:04
regard to the governing of Iran.
3:07
And this uh it probably is one of
3:09
the reasons why we are not seeing the
3:11
Iranian government come together and uh sit at
3:14
a table with the negotiators of the United
3:16
States government.
3:18
Uh they don't have anybody to sit at
3:19
the table with.
3:21
They they they can't figure out who should
3:23
be sitting with the United States government and
3:26
uh negotiate some sort of ceasefire A, and
3:28
then a peace agreement B.
3:31
This is why it's been taking uh a
3:33
long, long time in order to finally come
3:35
to an agreement that would put an end
3:37
to this war.
3:39
Now we got the president of France Macron.
3:42
Uh he's involved.
3:43
The United Kingdom is now involved.
3:46
The uh Macron has ordered one of his
3:48
French aircraft carriers to the region.
3:50
That's a good sign.
3:50
At least uh they've awakened to the uh
3:52
problems that we're facing there in the Mid
3:54
East.
3:56
And I understand uh very recently the United
3:58
Kingdom is also sending an aircraft carrier to
4:00
the Mid East.
4:03
These are good signs.
4:04
There's been a lot of criticism of these
4:06
countries, a lot of criticism, by the way,
4:09
justifiable for not getting involved sooner rather than
4:11
later.
4:13
But uh, I believe that uh every country
4:15
on the planet is now uh uh you
4:17
know they're suffering from what the Iranian government
4:19
has done, and by the way, continues to
4:21
do.
4:23
Uh economies are on the verge of collapse,
4:25
folks.
4:26
Not here in the United States, but uh
4:28
a lot of these countries around the world
4:30
are really facing some tough times, and so
4:32
are we to a certain degree.
4:34
You know, my gas prices are up near
4:36
five dollars now.
4:37
You go to a grocery store, I actually
4:40
saw gallons of milk, uh, eight, ten dollars.
4:42
I mean, this is unheard of in my
4:43
lifetime.
4:45
Now, people will blame the United States government,
4:48
people will blame the president, department uh of
4:50
war, and uh some have gone so far
4:53
as to blame our military for listen to
4:56
this folks, obeying what they call illegal orders.
4:59
These orders are not illegal, they're legal orders,
5:02
and our troops are out there looking to
5:06
preserve our peace, our safety, our security.
5:09
Doesn't anybody uh get that message that we
5:13
cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon?
5:16
Doesn't anybody understand that?
5:19
Now I'm sure a lot of people do
5:20
understand it, not hearing very much from a
5:22
lot of them.
5:24
Uh many uh whom we see and hear,
5:26
whether it be on television networks, uh a
5:29
radio or a newsprint, are those who are
5:32
opposed to what's going on at uh for
5:34
for any reason they could find.
5:37
Any reason they could find, day in and
5:39
day eight, right?
5:40
We we hear the so-called talking heads on
5:43
television, uh radio or whatever, telling us how
5:45
bad things are for the United States, and
5:48
why we got to simply, at least in
5:51
my view, they're telling us to simply surrender.
5:54
Can't allow that to happen.
5:55
Can't allow that to happen.
5:57
We got brave troops out at sea, on
5:58
land and in the air, putting their lives
6:00
on the line for the future of our
6:02
children and grandchildren.
6:03
That's what it boils down to.
6:06
But there are still people out there who
6:08
refuse to accept that as a reason why
6:10
we are fighting the good fight of faith
6:12
here and would rather see us surrender, and
6:14
let's just kick the can down the road
6:16
and let our children and grandchildren deal with
6:18
that.
6:21
I don't buy that argument.
6:22
Imagine if uh our grandparents and parents during
6:25
all the wars prior to the days we
6:27
were born would take that position.
6:29
Let's just uh kick the can down the
6:31
road and let them in the 21st century
6:33
deal with it.
6:35
What a world we live in.
6:37
What a world we live in.
6:38
But we're here, you're here.
6:40
We're the light of the world, right, folks?
6:41
We are.
6:42
You know, we still have a uh God-fearing,
6:45
God-loving country and population that will uh really
6:47
truly invoke divine providence uh when necessary, and
6:50
I believe it's always necessary, but you get
6:52
the point.
6:55
You read about some of these stories of
6:56
the U.S.
6:57
military during World War II, World War I,
7:00
World War One.
7:00
but I mean, man, way back during the
7:00
I mean, man, way back during the Revolutionary
7:02
Revolutionary War and Civil War, how we had
7:02
War and Civil War, how we had uh
7:04
uh presidents and leaders in the United States
7:05
presidents and leaders in the United States military
7:06
military who prayed to God Almighty for guidance
7:07
who prayed to God Almighty for guidance and
7:09
and help.
7:09
help.
7:11
And uh, we got it and we won.
7:11
And uh we got it and we won.
7:14
Things have not changed.
7:14
Things have not changed.
7:16
We're gonna get it and we're gonna win.
7:16
We're gonna get it and we're gonna win.
7:18
Anyway, the IRGC, that's the Iran's Revolutionary Guard
7:18
Anyway, the IRGC, that's the Iran's revolutionary guard
7:21
Corps.
7:21
corps.
7:24
Uh, I've got to tell you, many people,
7:24
Uh I've got to tell you, many people,
7:26
you've heard me say this, claim that they
7:26
you've heard me say this, claim that they
7:27
are the uh strong.
7:28
are the uh strong arm of the Iranian
7:29
military.
7:32
I refuse to call them military.
7:34
I call them thugs.
7:36
They're like thugs running on the streets of
7:38
uh Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, a bunch
7:40
of thugs who happen to have very powerful
7:42
weapons.
7:44
Uh they've been uh pushing their social media
7:47
propaganda day in and day out now.
7:49
I get a lot of it, and I
7:52
know many of you are getting a lot
7:54
of it because I've heard some of you,
7:56
or I should say I've heard from some
7:58
of you with regard to the uh garbage
8:00
that you're getting that you've never seen before,
8:02
that particularly points out some of the things
8:04
that are going on in the Mideast, but
8:06
favoring the Iranian government and pretty much condemning
8:08
the United States government.
8:11
So it's out there.
8:11
Social media is being used by the IRGC,
8:15
uh, and it's being used a lot.
8:18
So they're pushing their social media propaganda, and
8:21
this most recent propaganda that they are spreading
8:24
around the world, is that they, meaning the
8:28
IRGC, uh actually hit two U.S.
8:31
Navy ships with missiles and drove them from
8:33
the Strait of Hormos.
8:35
And they're saying that the United States Navy
8:38
put that their tail between their legs and
8:40
ran just ran right out of the Strait
8:43
of Hormos in fear of the powerful IRGC.
8:47
Well, I've got to tell you, folks, when
8:48
I read that, I didn't believe it right
8:50
on its face.
8:52
But unfortunately, there are many people who don't
8:54
check things out, and they decided that, wow,
8:57
look at what happened.
8:59
I've got to let my neighbors know.
9:01
And they push that share button on the
9:03
internet, and they're not just sharing it with
9:04
their neighbors, they're sharing it with people around
9:06
the world.
9:08
Now, in addition to that, and very, very
9:12
unfortunately, there are many outlets in this country,
9:15
as well as around the world, that ran
9:18
the IRGC's claims that they hit two U.S.
9:21
uh Navy ships before taking the time to
9:24
verify that propaganda.
9:27
See, years past, the media, true journalists, would
9:30
go out and they would get uh some
9:33
more information, more intelligence, they would do some
9:36
research, they'd find out if what they are
9:39
seeing uh on television or hearing via the
9:43
radio or reading the newsprint is true.
9:46
And uh you find out that most of
9:48
the time, none of it's true, so none
9:50
of it even hit the broadcast networks.
9:53
But these days they like to run with
9:55
this stuff, especially media news outlets that have
9:58
a political agenda.
10:00
That didn't go on in the past, folks.
10:02
It's going on now.
10:03
So we have to deal with even U.S.
10:05
outlets spreading the propaganda of our enemies.
10:08
Maybe you need to find a way to
10:09
deal with that.
10:10
Of course, if we try to find a
10:12
way to deal with that, uh, we're gonna
10:14
get a lot of people screaming about the
10:15
First Amendment.
10:17
But that's another issue at another time.
10:20
Now, again, I'll I I I say, and
10:23
I've said this over and over again, that
10:26
our enemies, not only the Iranian government, but
10:29
also the Chinese Communist Party, the Russians, and
10:32
others, they've mastered the art of using many
10:35
of our news outlets to spread their propaganda.
10:38
Now, I cannot imagine this happening during World
10:40
War II.
10:42
I know we didn't have the internet, but
10:44
we certainly had a lot of news outlets.
10:46
And by the way, the Russians, after World
10:49
War II, all right, because they were our
10:51
allies, the Russians speeding up to the Cold
10:54
War, they did find a way to get
10:56
to our population via mass media.
10:59
And little did we know at that time
11:01
that the Russians had a tremendous influence on
11:03
Hollywood.
11:05
So there was a lot going on with
11:08
the motion picture industry, uh, where the uh
11:11
Russians, the KGB in particular, were able to
11:14
embed some of their resources in the Hollywood
11:16
productions that were going on, which would reach
11:19
the people of the United States via movies,
11:22
and then of course when TV was invented
11:25
via television and then radio and then newspapers.
11:28
I mean, it just grew and grew and
11:30
grew, until, of course, again, another story at
11:33
another time, until, of course, a guy named
11:35
Ronald Reagan came along, became the president of
11:38
the Screen Actors Guild in Hollywood and began
11:41
to go after the communists.
11:44
Our enemies don't stop, folks.
11:46
If there's a will, there's a way, that's
11:47
what say the people say, well, they've always
11:49
got the will.
11:51
Somehow, they always find the way.
11:53
But the way now is they're somehow, some
11:56
way uh uh got some sort of tactics
11:59
that are enabling some of these news networks
12:02
to compromise journalistic integrity, if that's still around
12:05
anymore.
12:08
So, to set the record straight, the U.S.
12:11
Central Command said that Iran did launch drones
12:14
and small boats at U.S.
12:17
flagships in the Strait of Hormos, but none
12:20
of those ships were hit.
12:22
Not a scratch on them.
12:24
Every single one of those drones were uh
12:26
taken out of the air, and those small
12:28
boats were sunk.
12:30
Bottom of the ocean.
12:32
Do you hear a lot about that on
12:33
the news these days, folks?
12:35
Comes out in a press conference, comes out
12:37
during a discussion, maybe uh for about 30
12:40
seconds on some of these newscasts.
12:42
Why hasn't that been a headline?
12:45
Hmm.
12:46
Gotta wonder, right, folks, gotta wonder.
12:48
That's why when uh the president or others
12:51
in our government do ask some of these
12:53
uh news outlets whose side are you on,
12:56
uh that's why uh they asked these questions.
12:58
I asked this question.
13:00
You know, uh man, I I think something
13:02
that the president or one of our military
13:05
leaders did say the other day to to
13:07
some individual from a news outlet uh, you
13:09
gotta wonder whose side our news, some of
13:11
our news media people and personalities are on,
13:14
and boy, did that cause a fire storm.
13:16
Well, I wonder.
13:18
My conclusion is they're on the side of
13:20
ratings, they're on the side of money, maybe
13:23
not necessarily on the side of our enemies,
13:25
but in my view, when they go out
13:27
of their way to criticize our government to
13:30
make our government and our military look like
13:32
they're being defeated when that's not true.
13:34
In my view, that's aiding and abetting our
13:36
enemies.
13:38
Oh, yeah, that's no first amendment as far
13:40
as I'm concerned, aiding and abetting our enemies.
13:43
Ooh, people saying, ooh, how can you say
13:44
that?
13:45
What about the First Amendment?
13:47
Well, that's the way I feel, and uh
13:49
I will always, always be transparent and let
13:52
people know the way I feel.
13:54
And I would be uh uh I would
13:56
venture to say that I'm sure uh millions
13:58
of you out there listening to this broadcast
14:00
Listening to this broadcast feel the way I
14:00
feel the way I do.
14:01
do.
14:02
So then what do we do with these
14:02
So then what do we do with these
14:03
people?
14:03
people?
14:04
Well, you just let them go on.
14:04
Well, you just let them go on.
14:05
There's where your First Amendment comes in.
14:05
There's where your First Amendment comes in.
14:07
Accept it as the First Amendment, but but
14:07
Accept it as the First Amendment, but there
14:09
there is a way to deal with these
14:10
is a way to deal with these situations.
14:11
situations.
14:13
And uh and one day I'll get on
14:13
And uh uh and one day I'll get
14:16
a broadcast and I'll share with you how
14:16
on a broadcast and I'll share with you
14:18
we could deal very effectively with the uh
14:18
how we can deal very effectively with the
14:20
I would say with, at least in my
14:20
uh, I would say with at least in
14:22
view, the enemies of this country who are
14:23
my view, the enemies of this country who
14:25
advancing causes, spreading propaganda that are serving no
14:25
are advancing causes, spreading propaganda that are serving
14:27
purpose but to hurt us, to hurt this
14:27
no purpose but to hurt us, to hurt.
14:29
nation and to hurt the future of our
14:32
country.
14:34
Think about that one, folks.
14:36
And anything I say and share with you
14:37
will always be within the framework of the
14:39
law.
14:40
Always within the framework of the law.
14:42
You know, we hear people constantly today talking
14:45
about the Constitution of the United States.
14:48
I agree with them.
14:49
But it's about time that we, the people,
14:52
all right, who love this country, who serve
14:56
our military, who believe in the foundational principles
14:59
of America, stand on that constitution.
15:02
That's what we need to do.
15:04
And uh at some point in time, I'll
15:06
address that and share with you how we
15:08
can do that.
15:10
So no ships were hit, folks, but the
15:13
propaganda spread far and wide.
15:15
The power of the United States Navy was
15:17
on full display in response to these Iranian
15:19
attacks on those U.S.
15:22
flagships.
15:23
U.S.
15:23
attack helicopters destroyed the small boats and intercepted
15:26
the drones.
15:28
All are at the bottom of the sea.
15:31
And we did a lot more, folks, a
15:32
lot more.
15:33
We did some bombing of some uh areas
15:35
uh on the shore of Iran, on the
15:37
shore of some of those islands over there,
15:39
and I'm sure we did a lot more
15:41
that we're not hearing about.
15:43
They paid a price, and they will continue
15:45
to pay a price so long as they
15:48
continue to turn their backs on the invitation
15:50
to sit at a table and to put
15:53
an end to this war.
15:56
Now, officials have told reporters that the U.S.
16:00
aims to operate as a defensive force now.
16:02
Operation Epic Fury's over, okay, over and done
16:06
with, according to uh the United States government.
16:09
And now we're going into the defensive mode.
16:12
Okay, I'm all for that.
16:14
All right, that puts to death and to
16:16
rest all of these critics about the uh
16:18
Presidential War Powers Act.
16:21
I'm looking at that and I'm saying, you
16:23
know what, uh, there's something not right here
16:25
with regard to this uh uh the interpretation
16:28
of the Presidential Powers Act.
16:30
Uh Congress is uh, they get that what
16:32
do they accomplish?
16:34
All right.
16:34
I mean, what are they doing?
16:35
In the middle of a war now, they
16:37
want to uh uh hamstring the U.S.
16:39
military, they want to handcuff the commander-in-chief and
16:42
the Department of War, and frankly, they want
16:44
to hand, again, in my view, the Iranian
16:46
government, a victory.
16:49
That's what they want to do.
16:50
And I've said over and over again, look
16:52
at you need to debate issues.
16:54
You need to have civil discourse over these
16:55
issues.
16:57
Do it behind closed doors.
17:00
Don't give our enemies any idea that there
17:03
is a split with regard to this uh
17:06
operation that has been uh going ongoing in
17:08
in Iran, at least at this point.
17:12
We're at war for goodness sakes.
17:14
But the president has put an end to
17:16
Operation Epicury, and now we've got uh I
17:19
believe it's called Operation Freedom, and uh that's
17:21
uh where we're at now.
17:24
Okay, folks, so that sounds good.
17:26
So, in other words, uh, they shoot first
17:28
and then we shoot back.
17:30
And uh when they shoot first and miss,
17:31
we shoot back and sink them.
17:33
So that's the way it's gonna be right
17:34
now.
17:35
That's the way it's gonna be.
17:37
That that's okay.
17:38
We're still there, and we're still fighting to
17:40
uh ensure that the Iranian government doesn't get
17:43
a nuclear weapon.
17:45
Because if they get one, if they get
17:47
one, folks, think about this.
17:48
They got their little missiles, they're firing at
17:51
their neighbors, their so-called former friends, firing at
17:53
everybody that they they they can fire at.
17:56
What do you think they would do with
17:58
a nuclear weapon if they had one?
17:59
Hmm.
18:00
So uh Iran continues to uh not receive
18:03
the message, they not receive the memo, they
18:06
don't get it.
18:10
Uh they just continuously become more aggressive as
18:12
time goes on, and uh for some reason
18:15
they just don't get it, folks.
18:18
We continue to sink their large boats, their
18:20
small boats, take everything they have uh out
18:22
of the air that they're flying.
18:25
I don't get it.
18:26
These people are sick.
18:28
The problem we're facing with them is they
18:30
don't care about their population.
18:32
They don't care about their own people suffering
18:34
as a result of their policies.
18:37
But our aim, our mission as a United
18:40
States Navy as a government, continues to be
18:43
the same the day it was when we
18:46
entered this war, to ensure that Iran does
18:48
not get a nuclear weapon, and to ensure
18:51
that there's safe passage of all ships of
18:54
all countries in the Strait of Hormos, and
18:57
that international law is upheld.
19:00
Now, as I noted earlier, Iran claimed it
19:02
hit an American warship or two with missiles
19:04
and drones.
19:06
But Central Command said, and you got to
19:08
get this uh out there, folks, that no
19:10
ship was struck.
19:13
Iran also denied sinking, you know, they denied
19:15
that any of their boats were sunk and
19:17
any of their drones were taken out of
19:19
the air.
19:21
That's the IRGC actually getting on the Iranian
19:23
broadcasting network, which is the only network now
19:25
in Iran.
19:28
They have censored all of their communications in
19:30
and out of the country.
19:31
They shut down their internet so that the
19:34
Iranian people can't get uh this broadcast, among
19:37
others, and uh they're only broadcasting what they
19:39
want to broadcast, and that's their silly ridiculous
19:42
propaganda.
19:45
So as far as the Iranian people know,
19:47
the uh the United States is losing the
19:49
war, and the IRGC is winning the war.
19:51
But they're smarter than that.
19:53
And there are ways that U.S.
19:55
broadcast uh are getting into the Iranian living
19:58
rooms and dining rooms and houses.
20:01
There are ways it's getting there.
20:03
And we're going to continue to do everything
20:05
we can to help that uh happen.
20:08
Look, we have radio free Europe back during
20:09
World War II.
20:11
Well, maybe we've got other means and ways
20:13
that we could uh replicate Radio Free Europe
20:16
and uh maybe put something together like radio
20:19
free Iran and get these broadcasts uh into
20:21
the people.
20:24
I could tell you with the live streaming
20:26
and the fact that we can uh replicate,
20:29
record a lot of the broadcasts uh not
20:31
only from here with America Out Loud dot
20:34
news, but uh broadcast from other networks getting
20:36
into the uh enemy territories a great, great
20:39
thing.
20:41
I've got to tell you, you know what's
20:42
just crossing my mind, why can't we do
20:44
that?
20:45
Maybe we need an America outloud.news uh maybe
20:47
we ought to figure it out.
20:49
Maybe you ought to get something together like
20:51
Iranian people.news.
20:53
Wouldn't that be something?
20:54
I'll tell you what, and how about a
20:57
lot of these networks with uh America Out
20:59
Loud.news leading the charge to put something together
21:00
Charge to put something together like Radio Free
21:01
like Radio Free Europe.
21:02
Europe.
21:04
I'll tell you what, folks, you know what
21:04
I'll tell you what, folks, you know what
21:05
I'm gonna do?
21:05
I'm going to do?
21:06
I'm gonna talk to some people at the
21:06
I'm going to talk to some people at
21:08
Department of War and see if they could
21:08
the Department of War and see if they
21:10
maybe hook us up with uh one of
21:10
could maybe hook us up with uh one
21:12
these uh, you know, bits of technology that
21:12
of these uh you know bits of technology
21:14
can do that.
21:14
that can do that.
21:16
Wouldn't that be exciting?
21:16
Wouldn't that be exciting?
21:17
You know, that would be a slap in
21:17
You know, that would be a slap in
21:19
the face to those dugs over there in
21:19
the face to those dugs over there in
21:20
Iran.
21:20
Iran.
21:21
Hmm.
21:21
Hmm.
21:22
That would be terrific.
21:22
That would be terrific.

22:28
Association of United States Navy email, and uh,
22:30
you just get that to me, folks, and
22:32
uh we'll get back to you.
22:35
Living in very, very difficult but exciting times,
22:38
exciting in a way that somehow some way,
22:40
uh, you know, these evil things, these evil
22:43
countries like Iran, uh the evil acts that
22:46
they commit.
22:49
Somehow, some way though does allow the American
22:52
people to stand up unite for a common
22:55
cause, and that common cause is freedom, especially
22:57
as we move forward in celebrating the 250th
23:00
anniversary of the greatest country ever known to
23:03
mankind, the United States of America.
23:06
And boy, I'll tell you, I thank God
23:07
almighty every day.
23:08
I'm an American.
23:10
Now, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defense,
23:12
they also reported intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles, cruise
23:15
missiles, and drones.
23:17
I mean, could you imagine that?
23:20
Unbelievable.
23:21
The Iranians, uh uh, one day they're sitting
23:24
at a table uh for about 10 minutes.
23:27
Uh and not just not with us folks.
23:28
They're not sitting with us yet anymore.
23:30
Uh they're sitting with uh Macron and they're
23:33
sitting with uh the uh UK prime minister.
23:35
They're sitting with Latimir Putin, uh, President Shi,
23:38
they're sitting with everybody on Earth that has
23:40
nothing to do with uh what's going on
23:42
between the United States and Iran.
23:45
Uh, but uh as they're doing that, they're
23:46
launching missiles.
23:48
Again, at former friends like the UAE.
23:51
Now, South Korea, they also said there was
23:53
an explosion uh and a fire broke out
23:56
on a South Korean operated cargo ship that
23:58
was in the Mideast near Iran.
24:01
And uh they believe that their vessel was
24:03
also attacked.
24:05
Now the attack did occur on this ship,
24:07
uh, which was anchored near the UAE.
24:09
So perhaps when the missiles that were launched
24:12
from Iran into the UAE, perhaps one of
24:14
them hit uh South Korean flagship.
24:18
Which means that maybe South Korea should uh
24:20
send some of their warships into the region.
24:24
In fact, the United States uh President uh
24:26
Donald Trump says that South Korean ship came
24:29
under fire, and after that happened, uh he
24:31
made a phone call, or at least urged
24:34
some way somehow, maybe through intermediaries, Seoul, Seoul
24:37
South Korea, uh to uh maybe get with
24:39
it and uh send a warship or two
24:42
over to help us.
24:45
Let's see if that's gonna happen.
24:47
So the president warned, though, that any attack
24:50
on American vessels will result in Iran.
24:52
Now get this.
24:53
He said this, I'm gonna quote him, being
24:55
blown off the face of the earth.
24:57
Well, they better understand, meaning the Iranian government
25:00
better understand that the President of the United
25:02
States doesn't bluff.
25:04
He means business.
25:06
And if he say you're gonna get blown
25:07
off the face of the earth, better get
25:08
ready.
25:10
That just may very well happen.
25:12
I tell you, the guy's got a lot
25:13
of patience.
25:14
I would have probably taken uh more and
25:16
more aggressive action against Iran uh sooner rather
25:19
than later.
25:21
But uh so far, contrary to many people
25:23
believe.
25:24
I think the president, Department of War and
25:26
our military is doing a great job.
25:28
Operation Ever Epic Fury has been replaced by
25:32
Operation Project Freedom, and that's where we are
25:35
today, in which the United States does what?
25:39
We're helping release ships that are unable to
25:41
transit the Strait of Hermose.
25:43
We're helping to do that.
25:44
And if we have to use our military
25:47
might, the might of the United States Navy,
25:49
we are going to do that.
25:51
What's next, folks?
25:53
Anyone's guess?
25:55
Anyone's guess.
25:56
Ephesians 6 12.
25:58
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
26:01
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
26:04
of the darkness of this world, and spiritual
26:06
wickedness in high places.
26:09
And that spiritual wickedness and the rulers of
26:11
darkness are sitting right in the capital of
26:14
Iran.
26:16
And we are going to eliminate them.
26:20
Anyone's guess, folks, as we move forward as
26:23
to when and how this war will end.
26:26
But I do know this.
26:28
It'll end with the United States of America,
26:30
the winner.

America Outloud Dot News is that place to

31:25
No doubt my mind, and I would hope
31:27
no doubt in the mind of many of
31:30
you listening, is the most influential topic that
31:32
we can talk about with regard to the
31:34
destiny of our lives and the destiny of
31:36
our nation.
31:39
And that topic happens to be God.
31:42
It happens to be America.
31:44
It happens to be God and country.
31:47
You see, the two are intertwined.
31:51
The two are eternally connected, if you will.
32:02
That uh God uh has a lot to
32:05
do with the founding of our country and
32:08
the future of our country.
32:11
So I'm gonna kind of go down that
32:12
road.
32:14
All right, especially in the view of the
32:17
fact that we are soon celebrating the 250th
32:19
anniversary of our great United States of America.
32:23
Why not talk about God and country at
32:24
this time?
32:25
Why not talk about God and country every
32:28
time that we get on the air?
32:30
Uh and many times maybe during our personal
32:32
conversations.
32:35
I'm sure many of you may have noticed
32:37
what I have noticed that indeed we have
32:40
separated ourselves to a great degree, meaning we
32:43
the American people, uh, have separated our country
32:45
to a great degree from a belief and
32:48
worship in God Almighty.
32:51
Something we need to talk about maybe a
32:53
little bit more often and try to uh
32:56
meet that challenge of getting this country back
32:59
into a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
33:02
What is wrong with that, folks?
33:04
I see nothing wrong with that.
33:06
Look, what I'm about to share with you,
33:08
it's gonna be to some of you very
33:10
startling, perhaps alarming.
33:13
Uh, but no doubt it's gonna be sobering.
33:15
So I'm gonna ask you just to sit
33:18
back, take a few minutes, think about what
33:20
I'm about to share with you, and hopefully
33:23
you'll uh you'll really give some thought to
33:25
what we're about to uh have a discussion
33:28
about and uh make life a little bit
33:30
more explainable to you and better for you.
33:33
So here's how I'm gonna start.
33:34
I'm gonna let you know right out, without
33:37
any hesitation, that I believe that God has
33:39
protected the United States of America since its
33:41
founding.
33:44
He's protecting us right now, and he'll continue
33:47
to do so until the end of this
33:50
age.
33:54
When that end comes, I do not know.
33:56
But we know an end is coming.
33:58
We know that there is enough evidence in
34:00
the Bible that makes it very clear that
34:02
the end is coming.
34:05
I've heard a lot of people talk about
34:07
we are living in prophetic times.
34:08
I believe that.
34:10
I believe we may be living right now
34:12
at the beginning of the end times.
34:15
Now it'll take another broadcast or two and
34:17
another discussion to uh unload that to unpack
34:19
that.
34:21
But if you want to know more about
34:23
that, I'll tell you what, folks, read the
34:24
Bible.
34:25
Read the book of Daniel, read the book
34:27
of Revelation.
34:28
It's all there, right in front of us.
34:31
Unfortunately, not too many of us these days
34:33
read what's in that book, that great book,
34:35
the Holy Bible.
34:38
And many who do read what's in the
34:39
book don't believe it.
34:41
Well, that leads us to another discussion at
34:43
another time.
34:45
But as long as we stay close to
34:47
him, meaning the Lord Jesus Christ, as long
34:49
as we honor him and worship him, and
34:52
repent of our sins, not only as individuals,
34:54
but as a nation, we're gonna do fine
34:56
as we move forward.
34:59
Not that we're not gonna have struggles, not
35:00
Have struggles, not that you're not going to
35:01
that you're not gonna have struggles, but we
35:03
have struggles, but we will do fine.
35:03
will do fine.
35:06
We will overcome our challenges as a country.
35:06
We will overcome our challenges as a country.
35:09
You will overcome your challenges as an individual,
35:09
You will overcome your challenges as an individual,
35:11
and we will all be sitting back thanking
35:11
and we will all be sitting back thanking
35:14
God Almighty for being there with us and
35:14
God Almighty for being there with us and
35:17
for us in time of need.
35:17
for us in time of need.
35:20
Now, one place that I go constantly to
35:20
Now, one place that I go constantly to
35:22
for support is the book of life, the
35:22
for support is the book of life, the
35:24
Bible.
35:24
Bible.
35:26
Why?
35:26
Why?
35:27
Well, that's God's living water.
35:27
Well, that's God's living water, and that's the
35:29
bread of life.
35:32
Yeah, that's what the Bible's described as in
35:34
the Word of God, the living water, which
35:36
is the Word of Jesus Christ and the
35:38
bread of life.
35:40
So when I'm thirsty and I'm hungry, not
35:43
for food, but when I'm thirsty and hungry
35:46
for an uplift for some sort of answers
35:49
to questions I have about life, about why
35:51
I'm here, about my country.
35:55
My goodness, I worry about our country day
35:56
in and day out.
35:58
And I'm sure a lot of you also
35:59
worry about our country, but what are you
36:00
doing about it?
36:02
And what am I doing about it?
36:04
There are things we can do about the
36:06
things that our country's facing.
36:09
And we don't have to get involved in
36:11
the politics and in the protests and in
36:13
this and in that that man has created.
36:15
All we have to do is stay focused
36:17
on Jesus Christ.
36:19
Period.
36:21
Now many of you might say it sounds
36:22
too simple.
36:23
Well, it sounds simple because it is simple.
36:27
But yet there's a barrier that's been built.
36:30
And that barrier is sin.
36:32
That barrier is Satan.
36:34
Look, if you don't believe in Satan, well,
36:36
you've got a big problem.
36:38
If you don't believe in God, you've got
36:40
a bigger problem.
36:41
There is a God, there is a savior,
36:44
and there is a devil.
36:46
There is a Satan.
36:48
God has a name.
36:50
His name is Jesus.
36:52
Many of you are unaware of the fact
36:54
that Satan has a name.
36:56
And it's not just the devil, but his
36:58
name is Lucifer.
37:00
So these are two beings, two supernatural beings
37:04
that are a constant war since the creation
37:07
of God Almighty.
37:11
Since the creation of mankind, I should say,
37:13
God was always there.
37:15
All right.
37:16
So I I don't know how he got
37:17
there.
37:19
I don't know anything about the beginning of
37:21
the beginning, but I believe it.
37:24
I believe every word that's in that Bible.
37:28
When he was pretty much asked, Well, who
37:29
are you?
37:30
He said, I am who I am.
37:31
I always was and always will be.
37:33
That's all I need to know.
37:35
I have enough faith in the Word of
37:38
God that every single sentence, every single word,
37:41
every single period, every single question mark, every
37:44
single exclamation mark is true, inspired by the
37:48
Lord Jesus Christ, inspired by God Almighty.
37:51
So that's where you start, folks.
37:53
You gotta believe you don't believe, then forget
37:54
about it.
37:55
Forget about anything.
37:56
Just live your life and get buried in
37:58
a hump of dirt.
38:00
If you believe in God, and I mean
38:02
really believe in him, and you accept Jesus
38:05
as your savior, you have added value to
38:07
preserving the land of the free and the
38:10
home of the brave, as well as preserving
38:13
your life from the evils that this world
38:15
has brought upon many of us, as brought
38:18
to our doorsteps.
38:21
You know, in scripture, God makes many promises
38:22
to nations.
38:24
Now, as I share some of this with
38:27
you, I'm going to talk about God's promises
38:29
to nations around the world, in particular ours,
38:32
and promises, by the way, you can relate
38:35
to you as an individual.
38:39
So he made many promises to nations, and
38:41
one of them is Psalm 33, 12.
38:44
And you know what that psalm says to
38:45
us?
38:46
It tells us as a nation that we
38:49
are truly blessed if we recognize the Lord
38:52
as our God and chooses to follow his
38:55
will.
38:59
That's it.
39:00
Blessed is the nation that scripture says, whose
39:04
God is the Lord, and the people whom
39:08
he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
39:13
Blessed is the United States of America, folks,
39:17
and Israel, because Israel happens to be, in
39:22
my humble view, God's country.
39:35
Well, he talks about Jerusalem in the Bible
39:38
over and over and over again, and he
39:40
promises that there'll be a new Jerusalem.
39:42
So anybody who says that Israel is not
39:45
special, and by the way, let me add,
39:48
anybody who not says that the United States
39:51
of America is not special based on our
39:53
history and our relationship with Jesus Christ, they
39:56
don't know what they're talking about.
39:59
They absolutely have no idea with regard to
40:02
God's plan for Israel and the United States
40:05
and how we are eternally bonded together.
40:08
But again, another topic at another time.
40:12
But the point here is that as long
40:14
as we the people, that you and me,
40:16
as long as we the people decide in
40:19
our individual lives to repent of our lives,
40:21
our sins, repent of our sins, accept Christ
40:24
as our Savior, accept him as his word,
40:26
and you know what?
40:29
There'll be a ripple effect across this country,
40:31
and it'll bring a revival.
40:33
Maybe not a big loud revival that we've
40:35
seen in the past, but I'm talking about
40:37
the revival in the heart, soul, and spirit
40:39
of every American citizen.
40:41
And that'll draw us all close to the
40:43
King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
40:46
And then he'll go to work.
40:47
He'll go to work on keeping his promises
40:49
and blessing us.
40:52
You know, I want you to just think
40:53
about something.
40:54
And I really mean this, because I've done
40:56
this.
40:57
I've looked at periods of time when our
41:01
nation has separated itself from Israel, has separated
41:04
itself in many degrees from worshiping Jesus Christ
41:08
as God Almighty.
41:12
And I've noticed that when that's happened, we've
41:15
suffered some pretty serious consequences in our country.
41:19
Economic downfalls, political pressures, unlike any pressures we've
41:22
seen in the history of our country, wars
41:25
that we've gotten involved in, that maybe we
41:28
should not have gotten involved in.
41:32
Now, one might say, well, what does God
41:33
have to do with it?
41:34
Well, he has a lot to do with
41:36
that.
41:37
Natural disasters.
41:38
You notice they're increasing, tornadoes, weird weather patterns,
41:42
earthquakes.
41:45
Now, of course, there'll be progressives and others
41:47
who believe not in God or believe not
41:49
in the holy scriptures, that'll tell you this
41:51
has a lot to do with uh climate
41:54
change, global warming.
41:56
Well, let's say it does for the sake
41:57
of argument.
41:59
Who created the climate?
42:00
Climate?
42:01
Who created global warming?
42:01
Who created global warming?
42:02
I mean, who's the author and finisher of
42:02
I mean, who's the author and finisher of
42:04
the creation of this planet as well as
42:04
the creation of this planet as well as
42:06
everything?
42:07
everything?
42:09
God Almighty.
42:09
God Almighty.
42:10
All roads lead to God.
42:10
All roads lead to God, all roads lead
42:12
All roads lead to Jesus.
42:13
to Jesus.
42:16
But my point about the fact that we're
42:16
But my point about the fact that we're
42:18
seeing these changes and that not for good,
42:18
seeing these changes and that not for good,
42:21
but for bad, but for worse, I believe
42:21
but for bad, but for worse, I believe
42:23
to a certain degree, we're beginning to see,
42:24
to a certain degree, we're beginning to see,
42:26
just like Pharaoh of Egypt did when he
42:26
just like Pharaoh of Egypt did.
42:29
turned his back on God, the God of
42:31
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and decided to worship
42:34
the sun gods and the moon gods and
42:37
all of these other types of gods that
42:39
the Egyptians had.
42:43
The plagues came.
42:45
The plagues, folks.
42:47
You see, history does repeat itself.
42:51
So judgment came to Pharaoh, as judgment has
42:54
come to nations around the world, to great
42:57
degrees.
43:01
But to the United States of America, and
43:04
particularly to Israel, I don't see any great
43:07
degrees of judgment that have hit this country
43:10
other than when we decided, we meaning our
43:13
government leaders during their times, pretty much separated
43:17
themselves or allowed a separation to take place
43:20
between God and country.
43:23
Mary Madeline O'Hara.
43:26
Maybe not a familiar name for a lot
43:28
of individuals who were born after she was
43:31
on this earth, but that's a woman who
43:34
decided to fight the fight of taking prayer
43:36
out of our schools decades ago, won the
43:39
case in the Supreme Court.
43:41
There was an effort to remove in God
43:44
we trust off our money, off our buildings.
43:47
There was an effort to remove, and in
43:49
some success, it's been successful in certain cities,
43:52
uh, any type of celebration of Christmas, citing
43:55
uh separation of church and state in the
43:58
Constitution of the United States.
44:02
Well, I don't know, at least in my
44:05
mind, how a prayer uh endorses a religion.
44:09
How is celebrating Christmas has anything to do
44:11
with the state?
44:14
You know, you can separate probably under our
44:16
laws, the way they're interpreted now, and I
44:18
pray to God that it'll be changed as
44:21
time goes on, but maybe they could be
44:23
successful in separation, church and state issues, but
44:25
they're never going to separate man and God.
44:28
They're never going to separate America and God.
44:30
They're never going to separate Israel and God.
44:32
Now, if those of you who live in
44:35
under other countries, if you believe you're part
44:37
of this plan, well, you're right, you are.
44:40
You could be in Canada, be in Europe,
44:42
Africa, any place on earth.
44:44
That promise that goes for us, blessed are
44:47
the nations whose God is the Lord, goes
44:49
for you too.
44:52
You know, what this passage is saying is
44:53
very simple.
44:55
A nation does better when it honors God.
44:58
And the blessing it talks about isn't just
45:00
about money and politics and the material things
45:01
of this world.
45:03
It also includes, and probably more important than
45:06
anything else, it includes spiritual strength, unity, God's
45:10
guidance, God's wisdom, wisdom brought to every single
45:13
person who lives in these countries that believe
45:16
in and worship Jesus Christ as God, not
45:19
just leaders, all of us.
45:23
And even though some historians see it differently,
45:26
most, if not all of our founding fathers
45:28
believed in God and look to him for
45:31
direction through what?
45:34
Faith, trust, and prayer.
45:37
Would you believe there are books out, publications
45:39
out that attempt to prove that our founding
45:41
fathers were atheists?
45:44
Now, where do they get that information from?
45:47
We call it fake news today.
45:50
We call it manufactured narratives today.
45:54
We call it progressive politics today.
45:57
Nothing new, folks, gone on for centuries, gone
46:00
on for the 250 years that the United
46:04
States of America has been in existence.
46:08
Gone on for a thousand years, thousands of
46:10
years that Israel has been in existence.
46:14
The devil is alive and well on planet
46:15
Earth.
46:17
A preacher once said years ago, boy, was
46:20
he right.
46:22
But so is the Holy Spirit, alive and
46:25
well on planet Earth.
46:28
And you know how he is alive and
46:29
well?
46:30
Because he lives within you.
46:32
Sin also lives within us.
46:35
We were born as sinners, make no mistake
46:36
about it.
46:38
But we can be delivered from that sin
46:40
because we have a deliverer, and that happens
46:42
to be Jesus.
46:44
All roads in life, liberty, and the pursuit
46:47
of happiness, folks, lit lead to Jesus Christ,
46:50
the Savior, the one who came and shed
46:53
his blood so that all of our sins
46:56
may be forgiven.
46:59
And yes, we need to repent individually.
47:04
And as we repent individually, we repent as
47:07
a nation.
47:09
And then therein lies the road, the pathway
47:12
to blessings.
47:16
Now, since the founding of our country, our
47:19
nation has upheld the principle in the Constitution
47:22
of the United States that Congress shall make
47:25
no law respecting an establishment of religion or
47:28
prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
47:31
I'm fine with that.
47:33
I'm fine with that.
47:34
The government should not be establishing a religion.
47:38
But that doesn't mean that we, the people,
47:40
can't establish that religion.
47:43
It just don't have to become law.
47:46
But we could have what the law embedded,
47:49
burned, if you will, into our hearts, souls,
47:52
and spirits, and exercise that law, and keep
47:56
it away from the Constitution.
48:00
Because there could come a time, and we've
48:01
seen it happen, where there have been churches
48:03
of Satan springing up all over the place.
48:05
You want, you want uh the law to
48:08
say, well, you know, the country can establish
48:10
a national religion, and when the bad people
48:12
get into office, that's what they're gonna do.
48:15
We don't want that.
48:16
I don't need the law of God supported
48:20
by a political entity or supported by politicians,
48:23
because the law of God is burned in
48:26
my heart and supported by me.
48:30
That's where that counts and could be supported
48:32
by you.
48:35
That's the importance of repentance, person by person,
48:38
household by household, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by
48:41
city, town by town, state by state, right
48:44
across America.
48:47
And there we are.
48:48
Blessed is the nation whose God is the
48:50
Lord.
48:52
Now, unfortunately, from the 1960s until now, our
48:55
nation has seen a decline in reverence for
48:58
God, and even worse, hatred, evil.
49:00
And even worse, hatred, evil.
49:01
It's all over the place.
49:01
It's all over the place.
49:03
And sin running rampant.
49:03
And sin running rampant.
49:05
They've taken a stronger hold in America for
49:05
They've taken a stronger hold in America for
49:07
far too long.
49:07
far too long.
49:11
Every single day I turn my computer on,
49:11
Every single day I turn my computer on,
49:13
I got stuff thrown in my face.
49:13
I got stuff thrown in my face.
49:16
I mean, it's just unbelievable.
49:16
I mean, it's just unbelievable.
49:20
I've got to tell you, folks, the things
49:20
I've got to tell you, folks, the things
49:23
that are now on that internet, people beating
49:23
that are now on that internet, people beating
49:26
each other, stabbing each other, shootings, all right?
49:26
each other, stabbing each other, shootings, all right?
49:29
Videos of
49:29
Videos of cops pulling people over and getting
49:30
shot and killed.
49:32
I mean, it's unbelievable.
49:34
The fighting going on, the criminal acts that
49:36
we see now.
49:37
And on top of that, folks, if you
49:40
notice, and a lot of people don't like
49:42
a talk about this, but I will the
49:45
assault, the assault on us with regard to
49:47
sex, sex acts, all right?
49:50
Trying to draw people's attention away from what
49:52
God wants us to have our attention focused
49:54
on to the very things Satan wants our
49:56
attention on.
49:58
The distraction of what we should be thinking
50:01
about and what we should be focused on
50:04
is being determined by who?
50:08
By Satan, because you're allowing it to do
50:10
that.
50:13
Every time I turn a computer on, you've
50:15
got women half naked walking down some street
50:18
in some porn uh area of a city.
50:21
You've got all kinds of crazy stuff going
50:23
on.
50:24
Uh, I gotta tell you, folks, and if
50:26
you notice most of it is women.
50:28
That doesn't make women bad.
50:30
That makes men bad.
50:31
Because men seem to be more apt to
50:35
commit those types of sins, right?
50:38
Whether that sin be adultery, fornication, and on
50:41
and on and on.
50:45
It seems like men are more apt to
50:46
commit those sins than women.
50:48
I don't know.
50:49
But because there's all kinds of videos out
50:52
there with women uh half naked, tells me
50:54
a little bit of a story.
50:58
So you gotta do what I do.
50:59
Just turn it off.
51:01
You know what?
51:02
You might think, well, let me just look
51:03
for a minute.
51:04
Well, there it is, the seeds have been
51:05
planted.
51:06
Then a minute becomes 10 minutes, and then
51:09
10 minutes becomes 30 minutes.
51:12
It's addictive, folks.
51:13
It is a dictive, and it is sinful.
51:17
Lust, lust is sinful.
51:20
None of us are perfect.
51:22
You I'm not saying you gotta be perfect.
51:25
You slip, you fall, just pick yourself up
51:26
and say, Lord, help me.
51:28
Just keep me away from this stuff.
51:30
Because at the end of that journey, you're
51:33
not gonna just be looking at lustful pictures.
51:37
You may end up committing those acts.
51:39
Now, why do I say that?
51:41
I have friends that have fallen into that
51:43
trap.
51:44
Years ago, when I was in college, you
51:46
know what?
51:48
Single, young guy going out, doing all sorts
51:50
of things, meeting women here and there, and
51:52
doing things as I look back.
51:54
I'm lucky, I'll uh I shouldn't say I'm
51:56
lucky, I'm just thanking God that he saved
51:58
me from that pit of hell.
52:01
Because I wouldn't be talking with you right
52:02
now.
52:03
I turned my life around and said, you
52:05
know what, this ain't no good.
52:07
There's gotta be more to life than doing
52:09
this kind of stuff.
52:10
Turn my life around and he put me
52:12
on a path of success.
52:15
But a path with problems, yep, a path
52:17
with temptation, all kinds of stuff.
52:20
Even now, you know, these things go on
52:21
in my life.
52:22
But because I now have accepted Jesus Christ
52:25
as my Savior, my friend, my buddy, my
52:27
protector, my savior, I am delivered from this
52:30
stuff.
52:33
All of it.
52:34
All of it.
52:35
Am I tempted?
52:36
You bet.
52:37
Do I fall into that temptation?
52:39
Nope.
52:40
Not at all.
52:42
I just move on.
52:44
Move on.
52:45
And it's not only that.
52:47
You got people who are now uh uh,
52:49
you know, I mean, obsessed with money, money
52:52
becomes their idol, obsessed with power, all these
52:55
things that go on in our lives.
52:58
And so, you know, I've been involved in
52:59
politics where power and money and all this
53:01
stuff thrown in front of me.
53:03
Wow, I could be a millionaire.
53:05
Yeah, on my way to hell.
53:07
On my way to hell.
53:09
I just want you to think about that,
53:10
folks.
53:11
Think about that, because these are problems and
53:14
difficulties that our nation never faced years and
53:17
years ago because we didn't have the technology.
53:20
You know something?
53:21
I'm reading the Bible one day, and it
53:23
talks about Satan and some of the things
53:25
that he does to nations, and I read
53:28
a part where it said he is the
53:30
prince of the air.
53:32
Years ago, years ago I read that.
53:36
And I was wondering, what is the Prince
53:37
of the Air?
53:38
Now, time went on, and I read it,
53:40
reread it, rethought about it a couple of
53:42
weeks ago.
53:43
Well, I read this years ago, Satan, the
53:45
Prince of the Air, the Prince of the
53:47
Airwaves.
53:50
Think about that.
53:52
Didn't have the internet years ago, didn't have
53:54
TV many years ago.
53:57
But now we got the airwaves cluttered with
54:00
every unimaginable thing, every unimaginable transmission.
54:04
So the prince of the air waves.
54:07
That's how he comes to get us.
54:09
The internet, television, radio, filled, filled with sinful
54:13
stuff, being shot right into our brains, taking
54:17
over our heart, soul, and spirit.
54:22
And the only defensive weapon you have against
54:24
that is Jesus Christ.
54:26
Jesus Christ.
54:27
So when you think about our nation, where
54:30
we have been, you know, TV shows years
54:33
ago, a lot of kids can't enjoy.
54:36
A lot of them.
54:36
I remember watching Leave It to Beaver, Andy
54:38
Griffith or wholesome programs.
54:41
Even cartoons had messages.
54:43
Mr.
54:44
Ed, the talking horse.
54:45
A lot of you might be laughing at
54:47
that right now, but these were the things
54:50
we used to see day in and day
54:52
out, wholesome stories that brought us closer to
54:54
mom and dad and sisters and brothers and
54:56
families, and ultimately closer to God.
54:58
No more, gone.
55:01
So it's up to us.
55:02
It's up to you, and it's up to
55:03
me.
55:04
Blessed is the nation whose God is the
55:06
Lord.
55:08
We must keep that in mind.
55:09
And how are we going to make sure
55:11
our nation is blessed?
55:13
Again, focusing in on Christ as our Savior.
55:17
So it's time, my friends, to recognize that
55:19
to a great extent, we as a people
55:22
have pushed God away.
55:25
We have.
55:26
We gotta admit that.
55:27
The consequences, some would argue, resemble the judgments
55:29
that came upon Egypt, as I just shared
55:32
with you in the days of Moses.
55:35
So that's where we are, folks.
55:37
We are in a famine.
55:39
Bible says there'll be a famine in the
55:41
land.
55:42
Not a food or water, but a famine
55:45
of the word of God.
55:47
That's where we are.
55:48
So what are we gonna do about it?
55:50
There was a warning from the Prophet Amos,
55:52
811, something we need to think about.
55:55
And that Prophet Amos said this.
56:00
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord
56:00
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord
56:02
God, when I was send when I will
56:02
God, when I was sent when I will
56:04
send a famine on the land, not a
56:04
send a famine on the land, not a
56:07
famine of bread or thirst for water, but
56:07
famine of bread or thirst for water, but
56:09
a famine of hearing the words of the
56:09
a famine of hearing, the words of the
56:11
Lord.
56:12
Lord.
56:14
I've got to tell you, this warning was
56:14
I've got to tell you, this warning was
56:17
given to Israel in the eighth century before
56:17
given to Israel in the eighth century before
56:20
Christ, as that nation began to drift and
56:20
Christ, as that nation began to drift and
56:23
drift and drift into moral decay and social
56:23
drift and drift into moral decay and social
56:26
injustice.
56:26
injustice.
56:30
History is repeating itself here in the United
56:33
States of America.
56:36
Is it possible, my friends, that we in
56:39
America are seeing history repeat itself?
56:43
But this time around, it's not a warning
56:45
for Israel.
56:46
It is a warning for you and for
56:48
me.
56:50
A warning for the United States of America
56:53
to be continued.
