00:00:00.000I stand with the people of the Christians in the Holy Land, whether it be in Lebanon, which is the Holy Land, Syria, Iraq, Palestine.
00:00:10.140These are first century Christian communities.
00:00:12.140And in the past 25 years, we've watched the Christian communities that have been in Iraq since the first century eviscerated.0.91
00:00:18.360The Christian communities that have been in Syria since the first century slaughtered.
00:00:22.800Even in India, those first century St. Thomas Christian communities are being attacked by Hindu fundamentalists.
00:00:31.800But there are no Christian communities that are more at threat than, as you said, in Lebanon, Ramesh, Ein Abel, Debel, Bet-Sahort, and Bethlehem, and Tibet, and the West Bank.
00:00:45.620And so at the Vulnerable People Project, we are committed to making sure that we preserve these ancient Christian communities.0.68
00:00:52.060How embarrassing would it be for those of us? I voted for President Trump. Me too. How embarrassing would it be to have to say next year that we watch the oldest Christian communities on earth, the Christian community in Bethlehem, the Christian community in Bethlehem, the shepherd's field.
00:01:06.960that that's what that is the the christian community in taiba erased and i enable remesh
00:01:13.900i enable these christian villages and my son and i and my team went there we were the first
00:01:19.020outsiders non-residents to spend the night since the war started we stayed there for over a week
00:01:23.400and our buildings would be rocked 40 plus times a night by artillery strikes drone strikes bombs
00:01:30.120dropped from planes um even when we were racing through um to get uh from the south back to
00:01:39.380beirut my son had to see the human cost of war alongside of the roads as we drove through
00:01:45.060um and he's you know he's 18 years old and he had to witness that for the first time
00:01:49.020um but these christians are living under immense fear what we do with the vulnerable people project
00:01:54.160is and and um i sent your producer some of the video footage is we want to bring life to these
00:01:59.220people. Right. So we threw a Christian festival in Tibet in the late May. We just threw a Christian
00:02:06.660festival in southern Lebanon where we had over 2,500 people come and it was a beautiful celebration
00:02:12.320as you could hear bombs falling in the distance. We also threw a children's festival where the
00:02:16.580kids played soccer and they played games with the UN peacekeepers and my team. But again, you could
00:02:22.460hear in the distance artillery landing and what they were actually doing is they weren't fighting
00:02:26.500hezbollah they were demolishing the christian cities that were abandoned real time uncensored
00:02:32.040unstoppable alexjoneslive.com take a stand share the link do you want to fight you better believe
00:02:42.840you got one we are now being joined by jason jones for a bombshell interview who's just in
00:02:50.280lebanon right now international filmmaker journalist activist you name it he's a proud

00:02:59.000and founder of Hero Incorporated and Movie to Movement. He is a film producer, author,
00:03:03.980activist and human rights worker. His mission is to promote the incomparable dignity and beauty
00:03:09.040of the human person. We all believe in that here on this network, especially through the power of

00:03:18.340a culture of life, love and beauty. Jones was an executive producer on the 2006 film Bella,
00:03:23.600which won several film industry awards most notably the people's choice award at the 2006
00:03:28.800toronto international film festival jason just got back from two weeks in three christian villages
00:03:34.400on lebanon's border with israel the only outside team getting in and he's here to tell us what he
00:03:39.460saw and so much more we'll cover the red green alliance and we'll get into all of that but
00:03:43.200there's something i was saying to you before we went live and this is what i often say because0.52
00:03:46.760i see the palestinian cause and the american cause really just like everyone getting genocided
00:03:51.080ethnically cleansed in the middle east they've had everything taken from them but their dignity0.82
00:03:55.800we've had everything remain with us but our dignity and ultimately what they do over there0.96
00:04:01.240they'll ultimately bring over here and you got to be against all of it and i love how passionate you
00:04:05.500are brother uh diebel on ebel and then remesh these uh men and i are maronite catholic villages
00:04:12.820on that land for close to 2 000 years can you break this down for us what'd you see yeah well
00:04:17.340Brux, first of all, I'm glad I'm on with you
00:04:19.220because you've been such a heroic voice for the Palestinians.
00:04:22.180And I'm Gen X, but to you, Gen Zers, we're all boomers.
00:07:27.920But I think if we don't start with our own, then you're a sham.
00:07:31.020If you go around saving everyone but your own, you're a sham.
00:07:33.380sure and um but he's even had to come out in the past two weeks and call them terrorists he's called0.91
00:07:39.340them israeli terrorists so israeli zionist terrorists are attacking the christians in
00:07:44.500taiva every single day these people live in constant fear in fact even those who come to0.55
00:07:51.500be a protective presence to stand between the christians in taiva and the violent settlers
00:07:57.360they're often attacked it's only when you have that blue american passport that you have some
00:08:01.900protection. But of course, many, many Americans have been killed in the West Bank. And if you're
00:08:06.340an American citizen, but you happen to also be ethnically Palestinian, your blue passport doesn't0.99
00:08:11.480do you much good. And as we're seeing right now, the residents, the American citizens that live1.00
00:08:17.240in the West Bank and have property in the West Bank are having their homes attacked. And it's
00:08:21.700really undignified. You said we've lost our dignity. I stand with the people of the Christians
00:08:27.540in the Holy Land, whether it be in Lebanon, which is the Holy Land, Syria, Iraq, Palestine,
00:08:35.420these are first century Christian communities. And in the past 25 years, we've watched the
00:08:39.860Christian communities that have been in Iraq since the first century eviscerated, the Christian0.93
00:08:43.960communities that have been in Syria since the first century slaughtered. Even in India, those1.00
00:08:49.500first century St. Thomas Christian communities are being attacked by Hindu fundamentalists.0.51
00:08:56.380But there are no Christian communities that are more a threat than, as you said, in Lebanon, Ramesh, Ein Abel, Davel, Betzlehort, and Bethlehem, and Tibet, and the West Bank.
00:09:10.900And so at the Vulnerable People Project, we are committed to making sure that we preserve these ancient Christian communities.0.76
00:09:17.460How embarrassing would it be for those of us, I voted for President Trump.
00:09:21.220How embarrassing would it be to have to say next year that we watch the oldest Christian communities on earth, the Christian community in Bethlehem, the Christian community in Bethlehem, the shepherd's field.
00:09:32.700That's what that is. The Christian community in Taiba erased and unable Ramesh, unable these Christian villages.0.84
00:09:41.660And my son and I and my team went there. We were the first outsiders, non-residents to spend the night since the war started.
00:12:33.260And then you meet a seven-year-old child who's living in rubble.
00:12:36.960And he's an orphan. And you go, can it be worse? And then you meet a four year old child that is an orphan and has no living relative and he doesn't have legs. And can it be worse? And it gets worse and it gets dark.
00:12:49.840And they want to tell us they want to tell us as Americans that it's somehow moral to support giving weapons to kill little kids, to mutilate them.0.96
00:12:57.720And it's just so monstrous, man. I think about the money that I pay into the system as a business person.
00:13:02.400I think about the money that we all pay into from day one.
00:13:04.880Every single time you buy a bag of chips at the gas station or whatever, that all goes to this industrialized process of murder.
00:13:10.860And for me, you talked about how kind of like a pseudo boomer, you change your mind because you found the information, found the facts.0.95
00:13:16.260For me, I was just ignorant. You know, I didn't know about Palestine.
00:13:30.800You know, and those of us who are committed to protecting the vulnerable, to recognizing every American is a fellow citizen that deserves equal respect, regardless of their religion, Christian, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu.
00:13:44.020We want everyone to be treated with respect.
00:13:45.840We don't believe in collective punishment.
00:13:47.260We don't believe in collective punishment.
00:13:48.740believe in collective punishment but those of us who are vigilant now are going to be have to be1.00
00:13:52.120vigilant later because the devil is a judo master and what is striking to me is how the boomers0.80
00:13:57.080uh many of them i mean many of them are waking up like me and others but many of us are still so
00:14:03.500deluded and i don't understand how you know and i look at christian zionism and i came into the
00:14:09.620faith as an adult and i'd be i came in through a dispensationalist church um but even then i kind
00:14:15.940of found it unsettling. But now I look to Christian Zionism is not a heresy. Christian
00:14:21.680Zionism is not a heresy. It is an apostasy. It is an abandonment of the Christian faith.0.96
00:14:26.980And it is the devil's greatest trick. I got Ecclesiastes 4.1 tattooed on my arm1.00
00:14:31.940when I was in Bethlehem. And it's King Solomon said, I looked all over the entire world and all
00:14:39.740I saw was oppression. And on the side of the oppressor is power. On the side of the oppressed,
00:14:45.180there is no one. When I read this actually first as an atheist, I took it as a challenge. I want
00:14:50.980to spend my life living with the oppressed against the powerful. But now as a Christian,
00:14:56.780I've come to understand that is what the gospel of Jesus Christ is. It is an answer to King Solomon's0.64
00:15:02.600lament that we as Christians are called to stand with the vulnerable. Jesus kissed lepers. He knelt0.99
00:15:08.940down next to the women caught in the act of adultery. When you kiss a leper, people flee from1.00
00:15:13.360you when you say that you're when you're conservative and you know and you say that i1.00
00:15:17.420stand with the palestinian victims of genocide people call say about you what they say about
00:15:21.940the palestinians so it comes at a cost what does christian zionism say that you can stand with
00:15:27.540power against the oppressed and you will be blessed that's so true that's so true and it's0.93
00:15:33.400very clearly true that they have all the power and the palestinians lebanese people in the west1.00
00:15:37.440bank you name it all across the middle east they have nothing there's no way to fight against the0.97
00:15:41.080empire so it's really incumbent on us the american citizens to vote with our dollar vote with our
00:15:45.940speech and really inform everyone about what's going on this is the thing people say oh you're
00:15:50.000just talking no we're giving information and knowledge is power and the pen is mightier than
00:15:54.460the sword and that's what all this is about and you know what i talk about the older generations
00:15:58.500all the time i talk about this neocon spirit that really existed because we were at the zenith of
00:16:03.600american power in the 60s 70s and they just think we still have the same military the same economy
00:16:08.060the same society when in reality we've been so degraded by this evil we've committed you know
00:16:12.900we're in this spiritual debt and to perpetuate it and to move it forward i just hope that we can
00:16:17.920provide people enough high quality information where they can wake up before it's too late
00:16:21.700what's your perspective you said you knew huckabee earlier what is up with this guy you know i
00:16:27.300actually was in bethlehem during the inauguration i have a lot of friends in the administration
00:16:31.980i have i could i could have been at any of the balls that i wanted to go to and i wanted to spend
00:16:37.540the inauguration in Gaza. So I went to Jordan and I tried to work my way into Gaza. I was rejected
00:16:43.760permission to go into Gaza. We had been supporting the churches in Gaza, but I wanted to be there
00:16:48.480because I actually campaigned for Trump across the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, where there are
00:16:52.680200,000 Middle Eastern Christians. And I thought, I want to be with the most persecuted Christian
00:16:57.320community in the world, the churches in Gaza, and text my friends, hey, how's the inauguration?
00:17:01.980look where I am. But instead, I went to Bethlehem. While I was in Bethlehem, I met with many Christian
00:17:08.140leaders, and they were horrified at the idea that Huckabee might be the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
00:17:13.900So they knew. They knew. And they were horrified by this idea. And I said, you know, I know Mike
00:17:18.640Huckabee, and I think he is a very godly man. I think he's a better man than me. I'm not the
00:17:23.620greatest guy. You know, I'm a flawed man. I became a Christian in my adult life. I'm not like Mike
00:17:28.100Huckabee. I didn't grow up in the faith. And I know him and I know his daughter and I know his
00:17:32.720son-in-law very well. And I adore them. And so I said, I think Mike Huckabee, when he gets the
00:17:38.100intelligence briefings, when he really gets to understand what's happening on the ground here
00:17:42.680as a Christian godly man, even though he is a dispensationalist and clings to Christian Zionism,
00:17:48.240I think he'll be a force for good. And I have to say, I've never been more disappointed.
00:17:53.800Like, I really just can't even believe it.
00:17:56.140I was asked by a reporter yesterday that's doing a story on conservatives that have been advocating for Palestinians,
00:18:01.180and they asked, have you lost friends?
00:18:03.640I have lost a lot of friends, actually.
00:18:06.320And all the friends that I've lost are people who are actually paid for their opinion.
00:18:10.220So I haven't lost friends who don't get paid to advocate for a certain position.
00:18:14.660They're friends who's actually, you know, their well-being and their family's security depend on them not changing.
00:18:20.660and they've become bitter with me and they said do you as are you sad i go i'm i'm not really sad
00:18:26.840about losing my friends i'm sad that my friends will have lost their dignity and their reputation
00:18:33.160for the rest of human history it's like you were in a bed and you heard an alarm clock go off and
00:18:37.880you got up and they're in the same bed they heard that alarm clock go off and it's children screaming
00:18:42.260dying all the time and they stayed right asleep because it's more comfy to be in the bed than to
00:18:46.160wake up and live in reality and here's the thing i just look at this from a perspective of trump
00:18:49.980was my guy. I got my dad to support Trump 10 years ago. I watched that first debate. I said,
00:18:54.060that guy is going to be president. He called me stupid, but I ended up being correct. And I looked1.00
00:18:58.680at it from a perspective, okay, this guy, and I was an anti-war kid. That's what I was raised on
00:19:03.020my first video report when I was like 11 years old. It was called Terrorism 101, explaining
00:19:06.680proxy war and how we fund it, right? I looked at Trump as a legitimate anti-war figure. I believed
00:19:11.540him when he said, I don't want people to die. And especially after the first term where he didn't
00:19:15.220start any new wars. I don't like the Syrian missile attack or whatever. But if you look at
00:19:18.920that compared to what we have now it is completely night and day and you know i believe in the guy
00:19:23.560that said he was going to end ukraine conflict on day one i believe in the guy that said no new wars
00:19:27.080in the middle east and what we've gotten kind of like huckabee you're like okay i believe this
00:19:31.780person has this value set i believe this person believes in these ideals and to see them not only
00:19:37.320not acknowledge them but to laugh about them you know that that is really macabre and disturbing
00:19:42.360you know i was in bethlehem and i met someone that was in in the delegation with huckabee when
00:19:48.240he went into Gaza and this gentleman took me aside and he thanked me for what I was doing. He
00:19:53.480said, you know, I was with the ambassador when he went in and he came back and held a press
00:19:58.520conference and said that there are no signs of famine. And he said, I had my upper lip that I
00:20:03.560had to watch the U.S. ambassador lie to the cameras. And it is really strange to me. And,
00:20:09.060you know, I often wonder what these are people, many of them are my friends. I've had relationships
00:20:12.960with 20 for 20 years 30 years i'm like why are they silent and at the end of the day i think it's
00:20:19.420just a misplaced loyalty to their clique to their friend group to somebody so you know you're friends
00:20:27.200with maria madelson right and you're in your marco rubio and she's blessed your career now you you
00:20:33.260talk to the undersecretaries of state who then pull the chains of the ambassador who then call
00:20:37.680their journalist friends and they yank their chain and then they call me and they tell me jason take
00:20:42.520a knee, be my friend. At the end of the day, I think it's misplaced loyalty. My favorite line
00:20:48.160in any poem is from Rudyard Kipling's If. If when all men can count on you, but none too much,
00:20:55.760you're a man. And if you think that you can count on me to be silent because we're friends,
00:21:01.860we've gone to dinner parties together, we hung out at CPAC in the 90s when we were college
00:21:06.820students together, if you think that's going to be reason enough for me to be silenced0.75
00:21:11.520on a genocide on children 18 000 children in gaza 18 000 children in gaza without one living
00:21:19.880relative no but at the end of the day i think all this this this cascade of people that we're
00:21:25.720looking at and you're probably like me perplexed and like you i grew up anti-war that's why i
00:21:31.380adored infowars and your father i worked for pat buchanan and then i was part of the team that
00:23:02.840And when you see American politicians going like Lindsey Graham or Nikki Haley going to Israel and signing missiles with smiles on their face.0.62
00:23:15.660And there's a real debt to that. And that debt is coming home. It's a spiritual debt.
00:23:19.420We can really witness it, you know, and how our own country is declining, how things are falling apart here.
00:23:23.800Because how could you expect things to be better when you're literally you're performing abortions right now on innocent Palestinian families, Lebanese families, families in the West Bank.
00:23:31.560Like, that's what killing them and leaving their children, you know, fatherless, motherless is.
00:23:44.580I witnessed a mother dragging her three children on a pallet towards the food because if she tries to bury her children, they'll kill her in a drone strike.
00:30:19.040They're being given an authoritarian technocratic surveillance state.
00:30:23.460And they're saying, if you resist that, you're a communist.
00:30:27.220If you resist forever wars, you want to destroy Western civilization.
00:30:33.560and so to me you have a generation that is very serious that is taking responsibility for itself
00:30:40.300in a way that to me is almost sorrowful it's like if we don't care for ourselves no one is going to
00:30:45.060care for us that's beautiful we're mourning the country and i say this all the time it's true and
00:30:49.840you can say oh well you're on the technology you're on the screens and yes because of that so
00:30:54.240much because we're all victims of that propaganda we're actually the first generation to recognize
00:30:58.540the danger of it and to want to get away from it and i think that's where knowledge comes into
00:31:02.440of truly being power as well. If you're under the age of 30, you can't ignore any of this
00:31:06.360because you're just your social media networks. Your friends are posting about it. They're all
00:31:09.940talking about it. But if you live in kind of the Fox News only household environment that
00:31:14.560Thomas Massey talked about when he made that appeal, I knew it was all doomed because if we
00:31:19.060have people voting in our elections that are just doing what the cable TV tells them to say,
00:31:23.580and that's just that's an arm of the government. That's like North Korean media. I'm sorry. That's
00:31:27.120my opinion. I believe that to be true. If that is where people get their belief system from,
00:31:31.720I did this street interview with this boomer guy, and he made the point of saying, oh, the radical Iranian theocracy, that's why we got to kill them all.0.99
00:31:39.160That's why the bombing of the school rules is OK.1.00
00:31:41.100That's why we can kill the Ayatollah.0.98
00:31:42.540And it's like, brother, you support another theocracy that's taken over our government.0.97
00:31:46.740You support a state that wants to rebuild the third temple and wants to reconstitute greater Israel, a state from 3000 years ago when they were given the land by the British 78 years ago.
00:31:54.980and that position is so outrageous on its face somebody that's my age that's seen the facts and
00:32:00.000information not from a hateful perspective just from a realist perspective this isn't my fight0.99
00:32:04.440this isn't my thing but it becomes my fight when you spend my money to use the bombs to kill them0.92
00:32:08.440and they look at you blink blink they don't get it i had a friend yesterday he said to me i just0.98
00:32:12.920come back from lebanon and i i kind of was just pouring too much into him you know he's like oh
00:32:17.700no he's like well but fox he literally said well but fox news i said oh lord i said don't watch
00:32:23.400are you crazy i go watch cnn cnn doesn't know how to lie to you cnn's trying to lie to someone
00:32:28.400else fox news knows how to lie to you don't ever watch fox news he goes it was really like blink0.97
00:32:33.100blink but if he said this word for word but if i can't trust fox news what source can i trust
00:32:40.520lord help us and this is the same guy and people like him that'll say gen z is being brainwashed
00:32:47.260by TikTok to think there is a genocide in Gaza. When I tell them that I have been there, that I
00:32:53.560have witnessed it with my own eyes, then the response is, oh, you were indoctrinated by Hamas,
00:32:58.520so you can't win. If I go there and I see it with my own eyes, I guess I was kidnapped and hypnotized.
00:33:05.740They raise the burden of proof to an impossible standard, and then their lies require no evidence.
00:33:10.800You know, there's this one example where Emily Saves America, Xavier de Rousseau and Cam Higby,
00:33:14.620they went out to the egyptian side of the border right where they have this like fake aid depot
00:33:19.740set up and i'm in fulfillment i own a fulfillment center so i understand how you're supposed to
00:33:23.000store perishable items you have a bunch of ripped open boxes of food standing out in the desert
00:33:27.220and they're like look at all the aid they're not starving mike huckabee said they needed ozempic
00:33:32.080once you reach that level of propaganda and you've literally seen it i've just talked to
00:33:36.360the witnesses i mean what what emotions does that evoke in you it's it's reprehensible they
00:37:22.840But the idea that Arab Americans or Muslim Americans running for political office are an existential threat to this great Christian civilization that we have, what are they talking about?
00:37:34.740Do you know that Dearborn broke for Trump?1.00
00:42:58.040You know, most of the Christians in Iraq were ethnically cleansed, or it's actually called ecclesiocide, were cleansed by the time Obama came into power.
00:43:08.440But where were we? I was even missing in action, and, you know, we weren't speaking up on this.
00:43:13.220I was trying to. I didn't do a very—I founded my organization, actually, in 2002 to advocate for Christians in case we invaded, but we didn't do a good job, and no one paid attention.
00:43:24.420you've literally been doing this since i was born that's wild to think about i was born in 2002
00:43:29.860and the scale of what's been going on you know it's very everyone's aware of it now because of
00:43:35.000the cell phone and stuff but the entire region has been you know a playground for really demonic
00:43:39.500energy demonic forces and always the civilians innocent civilians are the casualty of these
00:43:43.840wars you mentioned isis earlier we set that up the israelis bankroll did as well and you know
00:43:49.160you need a bad guy to fight in order to say oh we got to go in here or you need him to fight
00:43:53.260somebody else that you don't like. And it's our stated policy in the region since the early 2000s
00:43:58.400that we don't want secular democracies there. We don't want it. We'd rather have some radical0.97
00:44:02.080militant leader just turning to Syria for a second. Al-Shara, formerly Al-Julani, this is a0.56
00:44:07.580terrorist head-chopping pig. This is a man that's held the heads of Christian children, Muslim1.00
00:44:12.160children, Alouette children in his hands. He comes to our White House and is sprayed with perfume.
00:44:17.280That makes me just completely vomit. You can watch him and General Petraeus on a stage together
00:44:22.120laughing saying oh we used to be against each other now we're on the same side yeah you're
00:44:26.660always on the same side I was with the Peshmerga while they were fighting ISIS and they would tell
00:44:30.440me that they would be ordered in fact my son my oldest son was in Iraq and it was very tense and
00:44:37.640it looked like the Peshmerga and the U.S. might collide and I was like messaging my son you need
00:44:43.380to stand down and tell your commander that you're Peshmerga and your dad is with Peshmerga
00:44:47.180and don't fire on us and the peshmerga were told if you fire on isis in their moments of1.00
00:44:54.180vulnerability the u.s will fire on you right what we would do is we would allow isis to take over0.72
00:45:00.840christian villages rape and plunder then we would flatten the village so we were partners in the0.89
00:45:08.880destruction of what's the thought process of that you know to me it's mordor it's really mordor0.90
00:45:14.380You go there, and to me, the Middle East, it's just, it's shire after shire after shire.
00:45:21.100Each village is different than the next.0.98
00:45:23.400You know, when you're in southern Lebanon, these three Christian villages that are right
00:45:26.060next to each other, Ramesh, Ein Abel, and Dable, to me, and I don't mean this to be offensive
00:45:31.540to the residents there, they kind of seemed like one village.
00:52:40.980When they haven't had joy in such a long time, probably ever living under these conditions and the real nobility of the Palestinian people, Lebanese people, people in the West Bank, you name another Palestinian as well.
00:52:51.740The real the real honor of them is they refuse to let anything keep them down.
00:52:56.560They refuse to acknowledge these conditions that are oppressed on them because they're like, hey, we're thousands of years old.
00:53:01.680This stuff you're doing to us right now.
01:01:10.200I think that's the whole entire mission of what you do.
01:01:12.560You show them that, hey, like even though they want to dehumanize you, that can never be taken from you because people all around the world care about you and they want to save you.
01:01:23.140I think that we're able to really break the back of this globalist scientist project that is doing these things to these people that ultimately are innocent and just want to live a peaceful life.0.74
01:01:32.260And I think the framing in Americans' minds of you and people over there as, you know, Lord God forgive me, this isn't my this is my position, calling them cavemen, calling them muzzies, calling them I've had callers call in and say, my buddy Trump is in a fight.0.75
01:04:44.760but what it means truly love women what it means truly love our society just getting on the abortion0.84
01:04:49.680thing here really quick we've killed over 63 million americans okay these are entire generations
01:04:56.640of youth slaughtered and when you look at that not just as some abstract thing or some policy
01:05:01.540but as reality how can you not be against that and then if you're against that those who claim
01:05:06.120to be pro-life but are not you know if you claim to be pro-life anti-abortion but then you co-sign
01:05:12.140war and genocide and murder well look how weak that makes your position because it's not actually
01:05:16.440they're not really lindsey graham people say oh he was a great pro-life leader i've been working
01:05:19.800in the republican party for life since the late 80s and i've worked with and against people like
01:05:25.620lindsey graham the whole time and i they're not pro-life it's it's a bumper sticker they they put
01:05:30.800on in november to get your vote right those who are authentically and genuinely committed to life
01:05:35.580you know it's consistent um and yeah your generation has such a challenge and it's going
01:05:41.360to be an intimate challenge you know there's this podcast the whatever podcast have you seen this
01:05:45.300of course where this guy brings on young women and berates them he doesn't have them cover
01:05:49.880themselves up he actually exploits them he has them on a meat market yeah and exploits them for
01:05:56.240profit while berating them and rather than understanding that they're victims they have
01:06:00.920been victimized and in the same way you can take a young man who's not so young anymore like nick
01:06:05.460fuentes and you can look at him and you can berate him and be angry at him but then you have to look
01:06:09.400at, I can look at those young women and I can look at that young man and I can say, there's a0.89
01:06:13.420mutilated, brutalized generation. And the hope for both of them is a deep, thoughtful commitment to0.79
01:06:18.500Jesus Christ, love, forgiveness, solidarity, recognizing that we are made in the image and
01:06:24.320likeness of God, that our relationship with God is best fulfilled through the sacrament of marriage.
01:06:28.880We know what it is to love, forgive, and sacrifice for another. And through our families, then we
01:06:34.160share our vocation to get the world to know and love their creator and love each other.
01:06:38.700This is the great challenge for your generation.0.61
01:06:40.380And that is the great challenge is saying, OK, all the profit, all the incentive, all the motive is there to do that, to tear down the other gender, whether you're a man, woman, woman, man, to hate each other, whether, you know, American, I don't like the foreigner over there or vice versa.0.80
01:06:53.580So when in reality, in that time of true darkness, where the only way to ascend or to make money or to grow in the societal structure is to do those awful things that are against God.
01:07:03.060We need to turn towards God now more than ever, because whatever the world, whatever the devil is trying to get us to do the most, whatever is the opposite of that is pure and good and holy.
01:07:13.220And it's it's as simple as all you have to do is stop doing the bad stuff.
01:07:17.000That's all you have to do. And then you'll realize as a human, as a person created in the image of God.
01:07:21.620as a christian you realize that you're good on your own and you're good because of your nature
01:07:25.740because your relationship to christ because you want to become more like christ over time and
01:07:30.060that's personal development and that's the goal and that's the strength and that's the liberty we
01:07:34.420have such freedom within christ to actually be ourselves because everything else just the will
01:07:39.520of the demons it's not easy it's not no it's very hard it's super simple yeah it's very hard but
01:07:43.820that's the thing is but it's it's it's genius i'm sorry it's super it's simple but it's very hard
01:14:10.200I know what these people get for selling out.
01:14:12.700I just had a meeting with an ambassador in Rome just last week, and I was advocating kind of a hard-nosed conversation for the interests of the Lebanese.
01:14:24.860And, you know, that same day, my son and I walked the Appian Way, and we did only 10 miles of it.
