00:01:13.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:16.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:25.000 One of the biggest news items yesterday is about Adam Schiff, trader to the United States.

00:01:32.000 He was censured by the United States House of Representatives.

00:01:37.000 And Turning Point alumni is leading the charge.

00:01:39.000 Congresswoman Ana Paulina Luna joins us now.

00:01:43.000 Ana, thank you for making time for us.

00:01:45.000 Walk us through the events that unfolded yesterday.

00:01:49.000 So let me see if I can find some Mr. Schiff.

00:01:52.000 Ah, here is the Schiff tape.

00:01:54.000 Play cut 72, please.

00:01:56.000 Play cut 72.

00:01:58.000 As chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff launched an all-out political campaign built on baseless distortions against a sitting U.S. president at the expense of every single citizen in this country and the honor of the House of Representatives.

00:02:11.000 Schiff abused his privileges, claiming to know the truth, while leaving Americans in the dark about his web of lies or about this web of lies.

00:02:20.000 Lies so severe that they altered the course of the country forever. 0.99

00:02:23.000 Ana Paulina Luna, okay, is on the line, I'm told.

00:02:26.000 Ana, walk us through about what happened yesterday.

00:02:29.000 Hey, Charlie, glad to be back.

00:02:31.000 Can you hear me now?

00:02:32.000 Please proceed.

00:02:32.000 I can, yes.

00:02:34.000 Okay, perfect.

00:02:35.000 So basically what had happened was, you know, last week we went to bring the censure to the floor and it had a very much so constitutional fine in there for Adam Schiff.

00:02:44.000 But that did not pass.

00:02:45.000 So over the weekend, we worked hard and we got some of those no votes on board.

00:02:49.000 And ultimately, what I filed was something called a privileged resolution, meaning that it can be brought by any one member of Congress.

00:02:56.000 It was brought to the floor.

00:02:57.000 And ultimately, the House of Representatives, the GOP, found that Adam Schiff, because of his abuse of power, being the head of the House Intelligence Committee, in addition to him violating the rights, civil rights of Carter Page, and being responsible for not only one of the most egregious corrupt underminings of any president in U.S. history, President Trump, by helping to authorize the illegal spying on the president in addition to investigating other people,

00:03:25.000 but also to because of the fact that he cost the American taxpayers $32 million in pushing the Russia collusion lie.

00:03:33.000 Ultimately, we censured him, which is basically one step under expulsion, and he's been referred to House Ethics for a full investigation into his abuse of power.

00:03:43.000 So he's been now officially censured, and this started a variety of speeches that were just really silly yesterday.

00:03:51.000 And the Democrat leadership, they're rallying behind Adam Schiff.

00:03:57.000 But let's just remind people what he did and the power that he abused.

00:04:02.000 I want to just play this here. 0.95

00:04:04.000 Nancy Pelosi, you got the attention of Nancy Pelosi, and she said, oh, you look miserable. 0.92

00:04:12.000 Yeah, that's really rich coming from you, Nancy Pelosi. 0.83

00:04:16.000 Play cut 77.

00:04:19.000 Today we are on the floor of the House where the other side has turned this chamber where slavery was abolished, where Medicare and Social Security and everything were instituted.

00:04:30.000 They've turned it into a puppet show, a puppet show.

00:04:34.000 And you know what?

00:04:35.000 The puppeteer, Donald Trump, is shining a light on the strings. 1.00

00:04:40.000 You look miserable. 1.00

00:04:42.000 You look miserable. 0.97

00:04:43.000 The only advantage to all of this is that instead of reversing what we did on the IRA to save the planet or reversing what we did to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, you're wasting time. 0.92

00:04:56.000 Congresswoman, it seems as if the Democrats were losing their mind yesterday, your reaction.

00:05:02.000 They were, and it was great because at the end of that clip, she continued to try going.

00:05:06.000 She actually ended up getting gaveled out.

00:05:09.000 She had her time basically ended.

00:05:11.000 And I had the last word and basically said, you know, I don't care what the representative from California is stating, i.e. Nancy Pelosi.

00:05:18.000 I don't care what the representative Raskin is stating.

00:05:21.000 Ultimately, this is not about Trump.

00:05:23.000 This is about holding someone accountable.

00:05:24.000 It's bringing honor back to the House of Representatives.

00:05:27.000 And thus, Adam Schiff should be censured.

00:05:30.000 And we're glad that it passed.

00:05:31.000 But, you know, it was crazy.

00:05:32.000 They were down on the floor shouting, shame, shame, shame.

00:05:35.000 They wouldn't let the speaker actually speak.

00:05:38.000 At some points during the debate, they had resorted to cussing and got gaveled out.

00:05:42.000 So to see the meltdown take place in real time was pretty wild.

00:05:46.000 And I just want to remind people, I mean, these are the same people that were responsible for pushing a lie.

00:05:51.000 They doubled down on it.

00:05:52.000 And then even then, so Adam Schiff, I think he posted a video today where he basically says he's going to wear it as a badge of honor.

00:05:59.000 But when I saw him every single day, or all day long yesterday, Charlie, he was looking at the floor.

00:06:03.000 He wasn't happy.

00:06:04.000 He knows that he's one of now 26 members in U.S. history to be censured.

00:06:08.000 So what are the next steps to get him expelled from Congress?

00:06:12.000 Because he's going to try to, right now, I mean, I sign up for these nauseating emails.

00:06:16.000 He's raising a ton of money off of this for his Senate campaign, Ana.

00:06:21.000 So basically what happens is as I filed that about three weeks ago to expel him, but unfortunately, you need two-thirds of the vote of the entire conference, meaning Democrats and Republicans, to expel someone.

00:06:32.000 So it would be up to the investigations on ethics to recommend whether or not he's going to be expelled.

00:06:38.000 And so there are different members that sit on that committee, and then the investigation has to take place.

00:06:43.000 And ultimately, it will be up to them to determine whether or not he will be able to stay in Congress.

00:06:48.000 But, you know, based on the abuses of power that he showcased to the American people that even the Durham report acknowledges should have never happened, you know, he's a bad guy.

00:06:58.000 And although he's raising money, you know, people that we're going to give to Adam Schiff, we're going to give to him anyways. 0.95

00:06:58.000 He's super corrupt. 0.95

00:07:03.000 There's other people running for office against him in California.

00:07:07.000 But, you know, if we don't do anything, if we just continue to sit by, then ultimately these people win.

00:07:12.000 So we've got to put our foot down and push back.

00:07:14.000 I agree.

00:07:15.000 Let's play another piece of tape here, play cut 76.

00:07:19.000 These attempts to censor Adam have been orchestrated to distract, but no one is fooled.

00:07:25.000 Extreme mega Republicans are targeting Adam because he's everything they wish they could be.

00:07:32.000 Is that what's going on here, Ana?

00:07:34.000 You wish you could be Adam Schiff?

00:07:37.000 You know, I responded because they also said that he was the upstanding, just ideal beacon of moral integrity.

00:07:43.000 And I'm like, you know what, I'm a female veteran that basically has done probably more in public service in my 34 years on this planet than Adam Schiff has done in his entire lifetime.

00:07:54.000 But yeah, it's pretty crazy.

00:07:56.000 They're trying to say it's about Trump.

00:07:57.000 They're trying to say it's about, you know, us jealous that we're not Adam Schiff because of the great investigation he led.

00:08:03.000 Mind you, he literally got roasted by Devin Nunez on Twitter yesterday.

00:08:07.000 Or not Devin, but a few Dan Scovino actually posted a funny video of just his lies one after the other.

00:08:12.000 So yeah, definitely not about that, but very happy that we were able to bring accountability and that my colleagues joined me on this.

00:08:18.000 So, Anna, as far as the next steps here, I mean, what was your reaction to the kind of Durham hearing yesterday?

00:08:25.000 Because the appetite and the hunger from the grassroots is rather underwhelmed at the lack of justice right now.

00:08:34.000 I mean, I am under the impression, and I think a lot of people listening to this know that a majority of what we pass out of Congress is going to get killed in the Senate and definitely not going to make it to the White House desk, right?

00:08:46.000 Even if it does, it'll probably get vetoed.

00:08:48.000 So, what I'm trying to do is, you know, help my colleagues and then talk with other people about what parliamentary measures we can do to basically go after these people.

00:08:57.000 And so, I've stated this before, but you know, the privilege motions, that's an accountability mechanism.

00:09:02.000 Those can be filed and voted on and come right to the floor.

00:09:05.000 And that's something that we can take direct action on, that we don't have to wait years to get results on.

00:09:11.000 Something like the Holman rule, which is a tool that we can use to defund any federal position that really just takes a simple majority to vote on, is something that we can do and bring up during the appropriations fight that we have come quickly approaching us this summer.

00:09:25.000 So, I think that really the grassroots needs to continue to not just put pressure on their representatives in an effort to do the right thing, but you need to get involved and make your voices heard because, as we're seeing, you know, the representatives will be forced to listen to you guys.

00:09:42.000 And what I will say is that when you have people like the director of the FBI, the head of the U.S. Space Force, invoking or just ignoring Congress, providing coverage for the Biden administration or Joe Biden and his son, the DOJ not actually charging these people, we need to remove these people from their positions.

00:10:00.000 And if we don't, then we're just basically talking one way and then doing another thing.

00:10:05.000 So, I'm hoping that that accountability and there's kind of a fire that's been ignited within the Republican Party.

00:10:10.000 And I think that you'll see some good results this summer.

00:10:12.000 Congresswoman Ana Paulina Luna, thank you so much.

00:10:15.000 An excellent job yesterday.

00:10:17.000 You deserve a lot of credit.

00:10:18.000 Very proud of you.

00:10:19.000 Thank you so much.

00:10:20.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:11:16.000 That is charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:11:18.000 Check it out.

00:11:19.000 Wonderful resource, charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:11:27.000 Joining us now is Matt Gates.

00:11:29.000 Congressman, welcome to the program.

00:11:30.000 Lots to discuss with you, including your fiery but mostly peaceful exchange with John Durham yesterday, which I thought was excellent.

00:11:37.000 But top of mind is actually something that our teams were texting about, which is this inability for the Republican Party to agree to defund the diversity department in the Department of Defense.

00:11:49.000 Walk us through the story, Matt.

00:11:50.000 Sure.

00:11:51.000 So just last night, the House of Representatives got the National Defense Authorization Bill out of the Armed Services Committee, and a lot of good in that bill.

00:12:01.000 We get rid of critical race theory in the military.

00:12:03.000 We create a parents' Bill of Rights for the schooling and education system that exists within DOD.

00:12:10.000 We get rid of the chief diversity officer where it was a fountainhead of bad ideas. 0.96

00:12:16.000 But I think one of the more significant amendments was the amendment to say no dollars at all, period, under any circumstance for DEI initiatives in the military.

00:12:28.000 Unfortunately, two of my colleagues, Mike Turner, who's the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and General Don Bacon of Nebraska, joined with Democrats to vote against my amendment to completely defund DEI at the Department of Defense.

00:12:42.000 And so we'll try again on the floor.

00:12:44.000 But we need Republicans to understand how harmful these DEI initiatives become in their practice and in their implementation.

00:12:52.000 Oftentimes, it's explicitly racist and divisive and counter to American and military values.

00:12:58.000 But Matt, what is the argument?

00:13:00.000 I've known Don Bacon for a while.

00:13:01.000 He's way more moderate than I am.

00:13:03.000 But what is the argument here, privately or publicly?

00:13:06.000 What could possibly be the reason as to why we want to have LGBTQ DEI centers in the Department of Defense?

00:13:21.000 I think that there was some concern that the ability for the Department of Defense to kick out racists or people that were explicitly causing harm to the unit would be diminished.

00:13:32.000 I think that those concerns were not well-founded.

00:13:35.000 Of course, there are existing standards in the military that have existed since World War I, in many cases, even predating that.

00:13:42.000 Those standards wouldn't be changed, but we would see, I think, an ability with defunding this enterprise to really restore those American values and those military values.

00:13:54.000 And it is frustrating, though I have tremendous respect for Don Bacon and Mike Turner to see my colleagues join with Democrats to stand in the way of Republican efforts to get rid of this DEI.

00:14:05.000 Yeah, so I mean, I would just, I would love to have you go to Don Bacon privately and play him this tape here, Cut 92, bragging about all the gay poems that are happening on aircraft carriers, play cut 92. 0.59

00:14:18.000 The coolest thing I did on board was to be able to participate in a LGBTQ spoken word night, and I was able to read a poem that I wrote to the whole ship.

00:14:29.000 And that was probably the culmination of the whole deployment.

00:14:33.000 The whole deployment, everything our military is doing, the culmination was gay poems on aircraft carriers. 0.83

00:14:39.000 This is a PSA funded by your Department of Defense, your taxpayer dollars, PlayCut 93.

00:14:44.000 Hi, my name is Johnny, and I use he, him pronouns.

00:14:47.000 Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to affirm someone's identity.

00:14:51.000 It is a signal of acceptance and respect.

00:14:55.000 If it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do we go about creating a safe space for everybody?

00:15:01.000 That's a good question.

00:15:02.000 A really good way to do that is to use inclusive language.

00:15:05.000 Instead of saying something like, hey, guys, you can say, hey, everyone.

00:15:10.000 Another way that we could show that we're allies and that we accept everybody is to maybe include our pronouns in our emails or, like we just did, introduce ourselves using our pronouns.

00:15:22.000 Matt, I'm confused.

00:15:25.000 What's going on here?

00:15:26.000 It's not Matt anymore, actually.

00:15:27.000 You can only refer to me now as brilliant and handsome.

00:15:30.000 Those are my pronouns.

00:15:31.000 So show some respect, Charlie.

00:15:33.000 But yeah, I mean, look, you would think that that would be something you would be watching published from the Chaz, but increasingly it's coming from our military bases.

00:15:41.000 I can say we got very good reforms in the NDAA to go after specifically the gender ideology because we had testimony where people from the Air Force were actually defending a system where we told Air Force cadets that they could not use the words mom and dad.

00:15:57.000 They had to use the word parent because mom and dad was too exclusionary.

00:16:01.000 So we did make progress there, but it's not just the structural changes to authorities.

00:16:07.000 Whether it's a corrupt FBI, whether it's a woke Department of Defense, what we have to start conditioning Republicans to is you have to cut off the money.

00:16:16.000 We've already seen the Biden administration color outside the lines when it comes to their legal authority.

00:16:21.000 So if you're just changing the laws, you often are participating in this mirage of reform because if you keep funding the enterprise, then the enterprise will exist nonetheless.

00:16:31.000 And those laws don't have their own fiat.

00:16:33.000 That's why these appropriations battles that are upcoming are so important.

00:16:36.000 That's why I strongly disagree with the decision to underwrite all of the debt for this growing and weaponized government over the next several years.

00:16:44.000 And if Republicans are to win with the leverage we have controlling one half of one-third of the government, we have to focus on that which is most significant.

00:16:54.000 And I would argue it's the money.

00:16:56.000 We do not have an opposition party in this country.

00:16:59.000 It seems as if they're okay with the Department of Defense becoming more and more like a college campus.

00:17:05.000 So, Matt, I want to talk about your cross-examination of John Durham.

00:17:09.000 For our audience that is not caught up to speed, please explain.

00:17:15.000 Yeah, when Bill Barr promised that we'd get to the bottom of the Russia hoax, he appoints this guy, John Durham.

00:17:22.000 And many of my Republican colleagues just kept saying, wait for Durham.

00:17:25.000 He's going to have this great series of indictments, and we're going to hold people like Brennan and Clapper and Obama and Biden and Susan Rice, all these people that launched the Russia hoax accountable.

00:17:34.000 And the reality is like five years later, we get a limp-wristed report that casts the FBI as a bunch of bumbling, incompetent people who just reinforce their own biases.

00:17:44.000 The reality is far different.

00:17:46.000 And this is where I disagree strongly with my Republican colleagues.

00:17:50.000 John Durham is not a guy exposing the crime of the century.

00:17:53.000 John Durham is the last step of the cover-up because he writes a report that doesn't get to the seminal issue.

00:18:00.000 We all know that the Russia hoax started when elements of Western intelligence and our government went and tried to gaslight George Papanopoulos, some low-level Trump staffer, into making statements that would predicate their using the national security apparatus against the Trump campaign.

00:18:17.000 So that was the whole deal.

00:18:18.000 And what Americans want to know is who gave the order?

00:18:21.000 Who was the person that set all this in motion?

00:18:23.000 And after five years and millions of dollars and losing two cases and having a plea deal with a guy who changed evidence before a secret court is already back practicing law, John Durham has been a failure.

00:18:36.000 And I believe that that's not a consequence of John Durham just getting it wrong and being incompetent.

00:18:41.000 I believe the whole purpose of his investigation is to put a bow around the Russia hoax without the shot collars being exposed or held to account. 0.78

00:18:50.000 And that is why I was so frustrated.

00:18:51.000 I'm confused why he didn't interview James Comey, Andrew McCabe.

00:18:57.000 We do know that he tried to indict Kevin Clark.

00:18:59.000 He wasn't trying to win, Charlie.

00:19:01.000 He wasn't trying to win.

00:19:02.000 Those are obvious things.

00:19:03.000 A first-year law student would know that you would go and execute grand jury process to get those witnesses before you and then to charge people like Andrew McPay Cabe who committed crimes and lied to the government.

00:19:15.000 But he wasn't trying to win.

00:19:16.000 They were just trying to put on enough of a show to keep everybody pacified.

00:19:22.000 And so do you think there's somebody behind him that was pressuring him or calling the shots?

00:19:29.000 I don't believe that Bill Barr actually wanted the Durham investigation to result in consequential indictments.

00:19:36.000 So in a lot of ways, I think Bill Barr has controlled opposition.

00:19:39.000 John Durham was a vestige of that.

00:19:43.000 Explain to me this, Charlie.

00:19:44.000 If you really wanted to get to the bottom of this, why would you not investigate why the Mueller team in synchronization all did a hard reset on their Apple phones to wipe all their communications?

00:19:55.000 Like, who gave that order?

00:19:55.000 Yep.

00:19:57.000 After five years and millions of dollars, is it unreasonable that we should know who gave that order?

00:20:02.000 But we don't, and it's because they're protecting the most corrupt features of this operation.

00:20:09.000 Is there any hope of justice at this point, Matt? 0.53

00:20:13.000 Yeah, justice would be Hillary Clinton having to be held to account.

00:20:18.000 Justice would be Brennan and Clapper, those who lied to Congress, actually facing prosecutions.

00:20:24.000 But the problem is, you've got the Department of Justice wearing the jersey of the other team, and they'd rather go do some sweetheart deal for Hunter Biden than deliver actual justice to people who are trying to destabilize the presidency, our elections, our democracy.

00:20:39.000 They call us the insurrectionists because we have questions about election integrity.

00:20:44.000 And yet, when they go run information operations against the American public for years, that's just viewed as their brand of patriotism.

00:20:54.000 Yeah, Matt, I mean, I'm not sure.

00:20:55.000 So cut the money off, Charlie.

00:20:56.000 We have to cut the money off.

00:20:57.000 But why is that going to happen?

00:20:59.000 Well, that's what I'm working to do every day.

00:21:01.000 Look, there are times you and I discuss it frequently where I'm in the minority of the majority here, but I hope that courage is contagious and that all of the work we have done to showcase this corruption, to expose how compromised the First Family is, to show that the FBI and the Department of Justice are actually working in concert with the crooks and criminals in the Biden crime family.

00:21:23.000 After all of that, if we go build the FBI some new $300 million headquarters, if we go and reauthorize spying authorities that get weaponized against our people, then we will get what we asked for.

00:21:36.000 And Republicans will not have fulfilled the commitment that we made to our voters when they gave us power.

00:21:41.000 And a lot of people are going to look at it and say, well, what's the point of electing Republicans anyway if they won't fight for me?

00:21:46.000 And so I'm in that fight.

00:21:48.000 And there are others who are too here.

00:21:50.000 And we're trying to grow our Legion each and every day.

00:21:53.000 Congressman Matt Gates, thank you so much.

00:21:55.000 Appreciate it.

00:21:56.000 Keep up the fight.

00:21:58.000 Thanks, brother.

00:22:02.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. 0.67

00:22:03.000 Some of these hacks you see online are frankly ridiculous.

00:22:06.000 So-called shortcuts that are more complicated than the problem that they're trying to solve.

00:22:14.000 It's Balance of Nature.

00:22:15.000 I never dreamed how busy my life would become running across the country, fighting the left, defending freedom, doing three shows a day.

00:22:22.000 And the most important things I value in my life, my wife, my daughter, my church, my family.

00:22:27.000 The dilemma is that I don't have time in my schedule always to eat fruits and veggies.

00:22:30.000 But that's why I take Balance of Nature.

00:22:32.000 Balance of Nature provides 31 whole fruits and veggies every single day.

00:23:05.000 There's a video that has gone viral in the last week that I want to focus on for a second.

00:23:12.000 Growing up, I loved going to national parks.

00:23:14.000 I still do love going to national parks.

00:23:17.000 And I think it's really beautiful that we say that you're not allowed to develop condominiums or amusement parks in some of the most objectively beautiful parts of America, whether it be Yosemite, Bryce Canyon,

00:23:32.000 which I think is one of the most underrated national parks, Zion National Park, Grand Canyon, which I love here broadcasting live from the Grand Canyon state, Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Arcadia National Park, all the way out in Maine.

00:23:47.000 America has been blessed with some of the most extraordinary natural beauty.

00:23:54.000 Olympic National Park that's in Washington, I believe.

00:23:56.000 I've actually never been there.

00:23:57.000 Alaska alone is just, I think Alaska is the most beautiful natural state.

00:24:03.000 I'm going to get some hate mail for that, but I will defend it.

00:24:05.000 And I'm not saying other states are ugly.

00:24:06.000 I'm just saying, Montana is beautiful.

00:24:08.000 Wyoming is beautiful.

00:24:09.000 Idaho is beautiful, but boy, I'll tell you, Alaska is unbelievable.

00:24:14.000 Those of you who have not been to Alaska, it has a special place in my heart.

00:24:18.000 Now, in the Bible, it tells us what our relationship with nature should be: is that we do not worship nature.

00:24:31.000 We understand that God created nature for our benefit, to take dominion over nature.

00:24:36.000 God has certain characteristics: God is moral, personal, and holy.

00:24:43.000 Nature is none of those things.

00:24:46.000 Nature is chaotic, it's cruel, it's brutish, it's confusing.

00:24:51.000 There is no morality that you derive when you go into the woods.

00:24:55.000 You actually see the lack of morality usually.

00:24:58.000 It's not personal, and it certainly is not holy in and of itself.

00:25:03.000 That's pagan earth worship stuff.

00:25:06.000 And in a clip that seems to combine several of these kinds of moral themes, including an even more simple observation, just goes to show why your government is so out of alignment with your values.

00:25:22.000 So, this is a piece of tape here that shows a pride event that happened in Yosemite National Park.

00:25:27.000 Now, for those that know about Yosemite, I've actually never been to Yosemite National Park, El Capitan, one of the most beautiful places in America, from what I understand, pictures and videos.

00:25:35.000 Been to a lot of national parks, haven't been to that one.

00:25:37.000 Yet, it's incredible.

00:25:41.000 This is just the employees of Yosemite National Park.

00:25:45.000 This is not the visitors.

00:25:49.000 This is not like they opened it up to like, hey, everyone in, I think the closest big airport is Fresno.

00:25:54.000 Everyone in Fresno, come on by.

00:25:58.000 No, this is just the employees.

00:25:59.000 Wait till you see this clip here.

00:26:01.000 This goes to show the alphabet mafia takeover of our government. 0.86

00:26:07.000 Play cut two. 0.98

00:26:09.000 Hello, in case you didn't know, gay people are literally taking over the national park system. 1.00

00:26:14.000 I just hope they're pride in Yosemite for the third year in a row. 0.95

00:26:18.000 But this isn't a pride for visitors to the valley.

00:26:20.000 This is a pride for the park employees, of which, as you can see, there are literal hundreds of queer Yosemite employees.

00:26:28.000 No planet, no pride. 0.99

00:26:30.000 Mother Nature is a lesbian. 1.00

00:26:31.000 Goodbye. 1.00

00:26:34.000 That might sound nuts, but that neurotic freak who just said that is actually right. 0.98

00:26:43.000 Mother nature does not have morality. 0.99

00:26:47.000 Yeah, mother nature might be queer, lesbian, gay, whatever. 0.91

00:26:51.000 That is exactly what the Bible argues, believe it or not.

00:26:55.000 That left in the state of nature without a belief in a monotheistic God who is moral, personal, and holy, who gives you a law to live by, then yes, you're going to be in moral chaos.

00:27:09.000 A God of order.

00:27:10.000 Nature is not ordered in a way that is moral.

00:27:14.000 As Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, the laws of nature and nature is God, not just nature itself.

00:27:23.000 Nature is cruel and chaotic.

00:27:26.000 And in nature, yes, you could justify putting pleasure first. 0.99

00:27:30.000 Look at Mother Nature is a lesbian. 1.00

00:27:32.000 That's their words, not mine. 0.98

00:27:36.000 But contrast Mother Nature versus Father God or God the Father.

00:27:43.000 God the Father loves you enough to tell you what you ought to do and not to do.

00:27:47.000 Mother Nature, just in the words of the queer activist, do whatever you want to do. 0.99

00:27:52.000 Man did what was ever, what was right in his own eyes.

00:27:55.000 Every one of the predominant viewpoints when the Bible was written, when the Torah was composed, was Mother Nature Earth Worship.

00:28:03.000 In the Indus River Valley, in Mesopotamia, in the Nile River, the Bible was written as a refutation.

00:28:09.000 It waged war on earth-worshiping polytheism.

00:28:13.000 And now we are back in your national park with the very same wicked theology the Bible did its best to try to refute. 0.62
