Is America going back to God? Sort of, but a very good news story that we cover, and then Alina Habat joins the program to talk about it. Charlie Kirk is running for the White House, and Andrew Yang is filling in.

00:01:54.000I'm going to go talk to college kids for about two or three hours, and the clips are going to go very, very viral.
00:02:00.000There's the story that we covered last week, and we had Riley Gaines at Freedom Night in America on Tuesday evening, that many of you know, where President Donald Trump signed the executive order forbidding men from playing in women's sports.
00:02:15.000Of course, the governor of Maine then got in a little bit of a debate with President Trump.
00:02:21.000At the governor's dinner and the governor's luncheon, I should say, saying, oh, we'll see you in court.
00:02:29.000We're going to fight you in the court to make sure that men can participate in female sports.
00:02:34.000Now, that is a 90-10 issue, and you must wonder, how is it that people get to the conclusion that men can give birth, that men and women are basically the same, that men should be able to compete in female sports?
00:02:49.000If people do not believe in God, they will believe in anything.
00:02:53.000And man will do whatever is right in his own eyes.
00:02:58.000Woe to those who call good evil and evil good, as the scriptures say.
00:03:04.000If you do not believe in a transcendent being, an almighty God, divine providence, eternal power, then you're going to have to fill that void with something.
00:03:15.000And that void is postmodernist, secular humanism.
00:03:19.000Over the last couple of years, we have talked about how leftist ideology tries to fill an existential void.
00:03:24.000And here on screen, you see President Donald Trump jousting with the governor of Maine.
00:04:41.000The 10 most religious states in the country, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, South Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia, Oklahoma, and North Carolina.
00:04:53.000If you take a step back, you realize that the craziest ideas, the ones that are an affront to the natural law, an affront to our senses, come from the most secular states.
00:05:06.000There has been a belief over the last couple of years that America is becoming less churched and it is inevitable.
00:05:15.000One of the most promising pieces of news to tie all of this together is a Pew Research study the New York Times covered yesterday that shows that America has actually leveled off and is becoming slightly more religious.
00:05:31.000Pew Research has completed a very large survey of American religious beliefs, and the results are fascinating.
00:05:56.000This is about stopping the spiritual bleeding that we have been living through.
00:06:03.000America used to be overwhelming, almost unanimously Christian.
00:06:07.000Even as recently as 1990, more than 90% of Americans identified as Christian, but it's been in decline for a long time.
00:06:14.000From 2007 to the early 2020s, the share of Americans calling themselves Christian fell from 78% to just 60%, a drop of more than 1% a year.
00:06:26.000Well, the decline has stopped, and it may have even gone into reverse.
00:06:31.000The share of Americans who are Christian has stabilized at about 63%.
00:06:35.000The share of Americans who say they pray daily has consistently been between 44% and 46% since 2021. In the new RLS, 44% say they pray at least one once a day.
00:06:50.000Similarly, since 2020, the percentage of U.S. adults who say they attend religious service monthly has hovered in the low 30s.
00:07:15.000Now, we are not seeing yet the revival spike that we need, but the American body politic, the American people, are searching for something.
00:07:23.000They are living through Viktor Frankl's man's search for meaning.
00:07:58.000And we saw them transing our kids, and we saw white people being blamed for their existence, and we saw our kids being medically kidnapped.
00:08:05.000We looked over the abyss, and we saw DEI and CRT. We saw an open border.
00:08:11.000We saw suicide widespread and alcohol addiction and drug addiction, and we said, we don't want that.
00:08:17.000We're going back to our roots, and we are finding our way back home.
00:08:24.000Yesterday, and it's fitting because it ties all of this together.
00:08:27.000At President Trump's first cabinet meeting, what is the first thing he did?
00:08:32.000The first thing that President Trump did was ask the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, a great man who's also been a guest on this program, to lead the room in prayer.
00:08:46.000What you are seeing is a battle of those that believe that there is a God and people that believe that they are God.
00:08:52.000What you saw at the cabinet meeting...
00:08:55.000Was President Donald Trump, who gets called as being egotistical and narcissistic, and he's the center of the universe, saying, no, actually, there is a God, and we are not him.
00:09:04.000In fact, he says, let's have Scott lead us in grace.
00:09:08.000And the whole room, with the cameras rolling, and hundreds of millions of people worldwide watching, took a moment to humble themselves before Almighty God.
00:09:22.000We are bringing God back into our government.
00:09:30.000And as we are seeing the battle between those that want to say that men can play in female sports and those that want to say they want to be able to chemically castrate their kids, they believe that because they do not believe in a higher purpose and they do not believe in a higher power.
00:09:43.000And if we are serious about saving our country, it is the spiritual battle that is fundamental.
00:10:17.000If pain is affecting your life, make 2025 the year of feeling good again, the year of moving better, sleeping better, feeling more alive, and do it with Relief Factor.
00:10:28.000Relief Factor is a daily supplement that fights pain naturally.

00:10:36.000Over a million people have turned to Relief Factor.
00:10:38.000Feel the difference it can make in your life.
00:10:40.000Give their three-week quick start a try.
00:10:43.000It's only $19.95, less than a dollar a day, and just takes a phone call.
00:10:46.000Call 1-800-4-RELIEF. That is 1-800-4-RELIEF. Remember, every day you feel better is a day you live better.
00:10:52.000So wherever you're hurting, back, neck, joints, or muscles, make 2025 the year of feeling good again.
00:11:36.000You got Pam Bondi at DOJ. You, of course, got Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby Kennedy.
00:11:41.000Looking at that room was a manifestation, was a physical embodiment of the political transformation that we helped make possible last November and that we are continuing every single day.
00:12:45.000Russ Vogt, we're going to stop the regulatory agency.
00:12:47.000Linda McMahon, we're going to abolish the Department of Education.
00:12:51.000We've got Elon Musk covering above there, which is we're going to do doge, we're going to cut the waste, we're going to go after the fourth branch of government.
00:12:56.000You got J.D. Vance there, new generation of leadership who's been doing an amazing rock star job.
00:13:03.000And it would have been really easy if the first thing to do is talk about how great of a job everyone is doing.
00:13:07.000I want you to understand the humility here, the spiritual humility that we must submit and repent to an almighty God.
00:13:13.000Understand it would have been very easy to say, hey, aren't we doing the greatest job ever?
00:13:17.000But no, the first thing that Trump 2.0 wants to do, the first thing is to humble themselves before our creator.
00:13:26.000You think Joe Biden would ever do this?
00:13:28.000You think the first thing that Joe Biden would do is say that we are going to acknowledge the Almighty?
00:13:35.000Maybe he did it at his first cabinet meeting and I missed it.
00:13:39.000This is Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner leading the nation in prayer, the world in prayer, because as America puts God first, the world will put God first.
00:13:49.000And we have culled and stabilized the dissent.
00:14:10.000Play cut 228. God, thank you that you've allowed us to see this day.
00:14:26.000The Bible says that your mercies are new every morning.
00:14:29.000And Father God, we give you the glory and the honor.
00:14:31.000Father God, as we serve the people of this country in every prospective agency, every job that we have, Father, we would humble ourselves before you and we would lead in the manner that you've called us to lead and to serve.
00:14:43.000Father, the Bible says that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
00:14:49.000And Lord God, today in our meeting, we pray that you will be glorified.
00:14:55.000While the left bends the knee before race hate and trans delusion, Trump and his team are kneeling before the creator of the universe.
00:15:04.000The framers would be so proud to see this.
00:15:06.000The framers of this country, Hamilton, Madison, Jay, Washington, they would see that in the year of 2025, we are opening a cabinet meeting, still submitting to God's grace.
00:15:19.000We don't kneel over pride flags, but we will submit to God.
00:15:23.000We will point the nation back to spiritual purposes.
00:15:28.000Rome recovered from a near collapse after a spiritual revival.
00:15:31.000Britain became a global superpower after a spiritual revival.
00:15:35.000The American Revolution was led by a revival, by Jonathan Edwards, by George Whitefield, by Jonathan Mayhew.
00:15:50.000That our leaders that are in control of the nuclear arsenal that could invade a nation whenever they want, the first thing they do is to center themselves and orient themselves.
00:16:01.000And let that be a lesson to all of us is to start all important things in prayer.
00:16:05.000First in prayer, as it says in the scriptures, to bring it before the Lord.
00:16:09.000And you can imagine the secular, nasty, gremlin-filled media.
00:16:17.000Because we all know that Donald Trump is only breathing and is only able to be at that stage, at that cabinet meeting, because a miracle happened on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:16:31.000Ever see your dog slowing down or having health issues and wonder, what can I do to make them better?

00:17:13.000Fetch a free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog today.
00:18:41.000I think that everything that we've done...
00:18:44.000And I'm really proud of the administration because we didn't say one thing on the campaign, Charlie, and then come in and do something different.
00:18:51.000We saw the frustration in the American people.
00:18:53.000We were the American people that were frustrated because we didn't have a president who would answer questions, who would speak to the press, who would speak to the American people.
00:19:02.000Instead, we felt like the head of, and it really, frankly, was this way, the head of the executive branch, the former president, was engaging in cover-ups and was continuously hiding from Americans what their taxpayer dollars were doing, protecting people that perhaps had interest with what they were doing every day, or lining pockets.
00:19:24.000And the beauty with President Trump is he doesn't need his pocket lined.
00:20:12.000It's play cut 220, where you are talking about the five points from Doge.
00:20:17.000Let's go to 220. Can you clarify for federal workers who might be confused who to listen to since Elon Musk's post is different from what OPM sent out?
00:20:28.000Look, here's the reality of the situation.
00:20:30.000There's one person we're supposed to be listening to that's President Trump and what the American people mandated, which is what we're doing.
00:21:26.000You don't even have to answer to anybody.
00:21:28.000And you work hard because you're dedicated, because you have ethics, because you have work ethics, something that is lacking, unfortunately.
00:21:35.000But imagine then taking taxpayer dollars, your money, my money.
00:22:21.000If you don't do your job, if you aren't answering emails, and if you can't articulate what it is that you do, why should American people pay you?
00:23:21.000So these judges, you know, initially what they do is they try and get a temporary restraining order, it's called, to stop whatever actions the president has.
00:23:28.000has dictated need to happen, executive orders and such.
00:23:32.000And eventually, we have seen time and time again since we've been here that we win.
00:26:34.000But there was not one thing that was not turned.
00:26:38.000There was not one thing that he forgot.
00:26:40.000There was not one question he didn't ask from a cabinet member that he needed to know so that he could make sure we were on pace to do things the way he wants to do it, but more importantly, to get the American people results.
00:26:50.000And more importantly, Charlie, this is what I love about this administration.
00:27:48.000Did you know that private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion?
00:27:52.000About $45 billion is labeled as distressed.
00:27:55.000YReFi does not care what your credit score is.
00:27:57.000When the payment on your distressed or defaulted private student loan is so big that you can't ever get ahead in your finances, YReFi is surely your best option.
00:28:06.000Why Refi can save you thousands of dollars by refinancing and even lower your total cost.
00:28:11.000Why Refi refinances distressed and defaulted private student loans, which are different from federal loans.
00:28:17.000Because of private student loan debt, so many Americans feel stuck and helpless.
00:28:23.000Why Refi gives you a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:28:25.000Let's face it, if you have distressed or defaulted private student loans, nobody is coming to bail you out, and bankruptcy is not an option, but you could take charge of your situation by contacting YReFi.
00:29:18.000Of course, Joe Biden being a failed, dementia-ridden, senile individual who was president and was going to run and then had Kamala run, that played a role.
00:29:56.000The same people who helped cover up Joe Biden's senility are now writing books about their own misconduct because there is money to be made.
00:30:05.000It's so perfect that Jake Tapper is writing this.
00:30:11.000This is Jake Tapper, who, by the way, Jake Tapper...
00:30:15.000Played into all of this, like, oh, Charlie Kirk's an anti-Semite thing over the summer at the RNC. They were so close to crossing a line where I could sue them.
00:30:30.000I was honored, thanks to President Trump and Susie Wiles and the whole team, they gave me a primetime address at the RNC. And I was super honored.
