00:01:37.000If George Washington were alive today and he articulated the views and the values that he held when he helped found this country, he would be smeared as a Christian nationalist.
00:01:47.000Now, it's been interesting to see how the activist press, the people who want to destroy the country, have been workshopping a way to try and smear, slander, ostracize Christians in America.
00:02:00.000You see, more and more churches are speaking out.
00:02:33.000We have highlighted so many of those pastors here on this program: Steve Smotherman, Luke Barnett, Jack Hibbs, so many people, amazing pastors that have been boldly speaking out.
00:02:44.000We had over 2,000 pastors go through our pastor trainings at TPUSA Faith over the last year.
00:02:49.000And the media, Rolling Stone, threw this at us.
00:02:52.000They said, you guys are Christian nationalists.
00:03:03.000They're trying to keep you out of the public discourse.
00:03:06.000And so there's different ways that they try and attack.
00:03:11.000If they can't attack you personally, for example, if your personal life is rather boring, and if you are loyally married to somebody and you don't have a lot of dirt, they'll immediately then try to make you seem ideologically fringe.
00:03:25.000So if they can't attack you personally, then they'll go after your worldview.
00:04:35.000And I just have to say, just timeout, and we're going to get into some criticism of Mike Johnson because he's been disappointing me on some stuff in this short window.
00:04:42.000By the way, remember I told you, prepare to be disappointed.
00:05:00.000Because to say that as an office holder of the American government means that all of the worst cockroaches and demons are going to come out.
00:05:10.000You think Denny Hassert would say that?
00:05:23.000Well, we could spend five hours talking about a biblical worldview is, but let me just build it out very plainly and contrast it with what a secular worldview is.
00:05:33.000Mike Johnson believes that there is a God that created everything and we are not him.
00:05:53.000He believes that human beings are naturally flawed and sinful.
00:05:56.000Therefore, power should be decentralized.
00:05:57.000Genesis 3.22, Psalm 51.5, Romans 5.12 through 21.
00:06:02.000He believes that we should not administer justice based on feelings or victim status, neither favoring the rich or poor or the powerful or the connected.
00:06:12.000By the way, that one verse in Leviticus 19, 15 is the basis of our legal system, that we shall not favor a rich man or a poor man in a legal proceeding.
00:06:25.000He also believes in one of the things that Jesus, our Lord, said that the entire laws of the prophets all hang upon.
00:06:31.000Leviticus 19, 17, that you should love your neighbor as yourself.
00:06:38.000He also believes in the Ten Commandments, a moral code given by God for all people to live by, protecting life, property, family, and our country.
00:06:47.000Remember, I'm the Lord your God that delivered you from Egypt.
00:07:02.000For one day you shall rest to keep the Sabbath day separate, holy.
00:07:07.000Honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the nation that you are in.
00:07:11.000It's the 10 statements, the 10 commandments of which Western morality is based.
00:07:16.000He believes in making your nation better and improving the welfare of the nation that you are in, just as Joseph, Mordecai, Esther, Daniel, Nehemiah, and Jeremiah did in Jeremiah 29, 7.
00:07:26.000He believes that God became flesh and that every human being will have a decision to make whether or not they'll accept or reject Jesus as their Lord and Savior, John 1.1 and also John 3, 16.
00:07:37.000He believes that we should not judge people based on the color of their skin.
00:07:42.000Instead, we should seek to win over their soul and increase the population of heaven, Galatians 3.28.
00:07:47.000Put plainly and simply, Mike Johnson believes what nearly every founding father believed.
00:07:55.000This is not radical or fringe or scary.
00:07:58.000This is what built the entire world you live in.
00:08:01.000His worldview is the basis of our entire civilization, which is exactly why the media is trying to discredit and destroy it.
00:08:09.000They're doing everything they possibly can to smear Mike Johnson.
00:08:13.000When in reality, Mike Johnson believes in the foundational ideas that give us the common law, protection of the incident, charity, natural rights, freedom of speech, decentralized power, an independent judiciary.
00:08:26.000This entire document, the United States Constitution, is based on a biblical morality.
00:08:33.000And it comes from an idea, is there a God?
00:08:54.000And Mike Johnson says, let's go back to our roots.
00:08:57.000I believe what every founding father believed.
00:08:59.000I believe in what gave us this civilization.
00:09:02.000To believe in a biblical worldview is the most sane, predictable, and normal belief system any American politician can and should hold.
00:09:09.000It means you believe murder is wrong, that stealing is wrong, that you should not judge people based on things they can't change, and instead judge people based on things they can change.
00:09:43.000He's lived a great life of self-discipline, self-control.
00:09:45.000So they can't use those typical DC tactics.
00:09:48.000So they're going to try to fringe him.
00:09:50.000And this is a rallying call for all of us that are believers.
00:09:53.000And even if you are not a total Christian believer and you're just a patriot, it is time to, this is a huge opportunity because if they're allowed to fringe Mike Johnson based on a very simple, mainstream, non-controversial, non-radical view that every American founding father held, that Abraham Lincoln held, that every American president basically in the 20th century that was good held, if they can put him on the fringe, then they could do it to anybody.
00:10:18.000Bottom line is this, is that a belief in God is a threat to the left.
00:10:21.000And that is why they are freaking out.
00:10:25.000They are freaking out that a speaker of the house says, I have a biblical worldview.
00:10:30.000It drives them nuts and crazy because he acknowledges something greater than them.
00:11:19.000And remember, retirement is about more than just investments.
00:11:22.000The Charlie Kirk endorsement of the PAX Financial Group LLC was given for compensation, which creates an incentive to recommend PAX's advisory services.
00:11:32.000Need to make sure that disclaimer is very clear.
00:11:34.000So check it out, paxfg.com slash Charlie.
00:11:39.000So they're going to try to smear Mike Johnson.
00:11:42.000And by the way, they're not going to have, the media is going to intentionally try to misrepresent because look, America is increasingly godless.
00:11:49.000That's why you get Dylan Mulvaney and this idea that men can give birth and all that trash, right?
00:11:54.000And so they try to make it seem as if religion is the problem, even though we are the least religious we've ever been.
00:11:59.000And obviously, as we have become less religious, America has become less free, less joyful, more suicidal.
00:12:06.000You stop believing in God, you believe in anything, as G.K. Chesterton would say.
00:12:11.000Now, Mike Johnson is far from perfect.
00:12:13.000When Mike Johnson became speaker, I said, praise God, we get someone who believes in the core values of the nation, e pluribus unum, id God we trust, liberty.
00:12:23.000But we did say, hey, I warned you guys, he's going to let you down.
00:12:26.000And you got to take the good with the bad.
00:12:29.000Remember, Mike Johnson is a reflection of the Republican caucus, and the Republican caucus is still populated with more warmongers, nation builders, open border types.
00:12:58.000I agree with your assessment in Ukraine, and that's why the American people are demanding some real accountability for the use of those dollars.
00:13:05.000Now, we can't allow Vladimir Putin to prevail in Ukraine because I don't believe it would stop there.
00:13:09.000And it would probably encourage and empower China to perhaps make a move on Taiwan.
00:13:16.000We're not going to abandon them, but we have a responsibility, a stewardship responsibility over the precious treasure of the American people.
00:13:23.000And we have to make sure that the White House is providing the people with some accountability for the dollars.
00:13:28.000All right, he's talking about accountability.
00:15:27.000Now, Stephen Miller has said he opposes funding for the Ukraine war and favors a peace settlement.
00:15:32.000However, there's a checkmate move against Biden that can unite the party.
00:15:35.000If the House passes Ukraine bill that seals the U.S. border and makes clear to the Senate the White House is the last, best, and only final offer, no negotiation, no clean funding, no more checks, this or nothing, take it or leave it.
00:15:47.000Use Ukraine as leverage, which sure, but two problems.
00:15:54.000Number one, I don't think Ukraine needs more money.
00:15:58.000I think just on principle, that's that's wrong, but politics is utterly possible.
00:16:02.000Number two, though, will that money actually seal the southern border or will that be just for quicker paperwork processing of illegals coming into the country?
00:16:10.000What guarantees can you actually put in a funding bill so that the people on the southern border are actually doing their job and arresting and deporting these illegals, not saying come in quicker, Paco?
00:16:29.000And by the way, let me just say this: why is it that the media and the head of the American government, we're starting to hear whispers, we need a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
00:16:40.000Yet I don't hear a whisper about ceasefires between Russia and Ukraine.
00:16:46.000Why does Israel have to go get its ceasefire and stop bombing and Ukraine and Russia have to fight for the next 200 years?
00:16:56.000Listen, as students begin heading back to school, do you think they'll be learning about the founding principles that made America the freest, most prosperous nation in history?
00:17:03.000Will they learn that our unalienable rights are God-given and not granted by government?
00:17:07.000Will they be given a full and honest account of our nation's history?
00:17:10.000The answer to all these questions is yes for students at Hillsdale College.
00:17:14.000And these days, in addition to teaching college students, Hillsdale has extended its teaching to K-12 students and lifelong learners like you and me.
00:17:22.000If you're not doing so already, one of the best ways to start learning from my friends at Hillsdale is through In Primus, Hillsdale's free digest of liberty.

00:17:52.000They're an excellent college, America's greatest college, charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:18:00.000Okay, in the midst of all of this Speaker Johnson stuff, the media has changed their tone a little bit, and it's been super because it happened now twice.
00:18:11.000And, you know, we watch the networks, we watch MSNBC, and I caught this on Steve Bannon Warim's program on one of the cold opens.
00:19:34.000We don't have that tape, but Rachel Maddow went on and she was talking and she said, you know, Donald Trump has a real chance of becoming president.
00:19:41.000This is going to come down to a couple thousand votes.
00:19:43.000I said, okay, Rachel's just saying that.
00:19:45.000But Mike Johnson now becoming speaker, the lunatics on MSNBC are obviously getting briefed, aka.
00:19:52.000They're getting text messages and emails, or at the very least, there's kind of internal high society Democrat ruling class chatter that this election is going to come down to a couple counties in a couple states and a couple precincts.
00:20:07.000Now, to our great credit, we have been singing that song on this program since January.
00:20:12.000We've been raising money, hiring ballot chasers at turning point action.
00:20:25.000Based on your history, new Mr. Speaker, do you believe Joe Biden's the president of the United States?
00:20:30.000The reporter is booed, literally booed by members of Congress.
00:20:33.000One woman standing next to Johnson told her to shut up, shouting at the reporter, boo, you know, you're reliving in the past, all the rest of it.
00:20:41.000No, we're actually, we're worried about the future.
00:20:43.000And so I think, John, now, as we all know, this election's going to be close either way.
00:20:48.000If it's Trump against Joe Biden, it's going to be slim margins again in Arizona and Michigan and Georgia and all those places.
00:21:08.000So their head immediately goes towards protecting their oligarchy.
00:21:10.000Oh my goodness, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, if the electoral votes come and they're not this.
00:21:14.000Okay, that's a false, that's like a just kind of false narrative.
00:21:18.000The buried lead is they're telling you that they're worried.
00:21:22.000They're telling you that they're seeing major fault lines, that the Democrat machinery might not be necessarily as robust and as strong as they have been presenting it, that they snuck a fast one in 2020.
00:21:35.000They basically snuck half of a fast one in 2022.
00:21:39.000And their window of doing deceitful trickery with early voting, ballot chasing and all that, that window is closing the more and more we on the American right are getting serious about grassroots muscle.
00:21:58.000Matt Gates, who led the coup against Kevin McCarthy, was quoted this week saying this whole process was asked about what a messy thing it's been for him.
00:22:12.000That was the plan to get someone in there who, if this comes out of a close election, and they all seem to be, if it's a matter of a few thousand votes here or there, and the House plays a role, Donald Trump has this guy in place.
00:22:24.000Okay, so he just literally repeated what Mr. Geist just said next to him.
00:24:12.000My prediction was that there will be an event that will break the marriage between corporate Democrats and the activist base.
00:24:19.000Remember, this has been a forced fusion, right?
00:24:21.000So they've put together the AOC, Rashida Talib, Elon Omar, Ayana Presley types with corporate Democrats, transactional Democrats like Joe Manchin and Joe Biden that control Wall Street.
00:24:31.000And they've put them together because how much they hate, quote unquote, right-wing fascism.
00:25:26.000Does he want to listen to his center left, more moderate Jewish Democrat donors that want support of Israel, or is he going to turn his back on the activist base?
00:25:38.000The fact that Joe Biden went to Israel and voiced support for Israel is creating a legitimate coup within the Democrat Party.
00:25:46.000And it's not just the Muslims that are upset.
00:25:48.000Understand, the major drivers for Palestinian liberation, all that crap, are white, upper, middle-class, educated liberals in their early 20s that have been led to believe that Israel is executing a genocide on Hamas.
00:26:06.000These college-educated liberals are so on the side of Hamas.
00:26:09.000And so then Democrat donors that tend to be Jew, you know, that Democrat donors that are Jewish, not tend to be Jewish, but wealthy Jewish Democrat donors that have zero sympathy for any of the Hamas stuff, this is creating a massive tension point.
00:26:24.000And Joe Biden, by the way, is making it worse.
00:26:27.000So Joe Biden is hosting like special safe spaces.
00:26:33.000Joe Biden has a safe space for Muslims in the White House.
00:26:36.000He just had a roundtable last week where all these Arab Muslims and Joe Biden was giving them assurances.
00:26:41.000That is a middle finger to Jews right now that are having flashbacks to the Holocaust.
00:26:47.000Leon Cooperman, Mark Rowan, Huntsman, they don't want it at all.
00:26:52.000By the way, Muslims are thinking of mass quitting the Biden administration.
00:26:55.000So Biden's trying to keep this whole thing together because it was a forced marriage from the beginning.
00:27:00.000And it's not the American right that is breaking this.
00:27:04.000The Democrat coalition heading into 2024 is splintering and fracturing, not over income inequality, wealth equality, big tech, open borders, censorship, but over Israel.
00:27:22.000It goes to show of all the issues, it actually makes sense because it is a non-negotiable issue for Jewish Democrat donors, especially when 1,400 Jews are slaughtered.
00:27:35.000They don't want to hear about Muslims' feelings.
00:27:37.000They don't want to hear about students for justice of Palestine.
00:27:40.000And the students for justice of Palestine using the language are using glory to our martyrs on a Jewish library at George Washington University.
00:27:48.000Jewish donors are mad and they should be mad.
00:27:52.000And this is creating a serious nosedive for Joe Biden's Democrat reelection chances.
00:27:59.000And that is directly correlated with Willie Geisth and MSNBC and Rachel Maddow repeating, repeating, and pretending it's going to come down to a couple thousand votes, come down to a couple thousand votes, come down a couple thousand votes.
00:28:09.000And like, yeah, it is going to come down to a couple thousand votes.
00:28:12.000One of the reasons that if this continues, if Israel invades Gaza, which is an open question at this point, but if Israel invades Gaza, this is not going to go away.
00:28:21.000Joe Biden's support with the activist base will go down.
00:28:24.000Now, interesting enough, Joe Biden's support amongst like more moderate suburban voters has actually gone up only a couple points, not significantly, just a couple points.
00:28:32.000But what is noticeable is how much Jew hatred, how much Israel hatred, how much Hamas and Gaza sympathy there is with the rank and file of the AOC activist base of the Democrat Party.
00:31:53.000And you're going to have all of these questions that are going to make Republicans look fringe.
00:31:59.000And there's three types of questions they'll ask: make you look fringe, turn them against each other, or disavow Trump to try to create distance.
00:32:22.000So, to you, Vivek Ramaswamy, do you believe the 2020 was a legitimate election?
00:32:29.000Is Joe Biden president of the United States?
00:32:30.000By the way, the reason why the House Republican conference booed that question when Speaker Mike Johnson was speaker is because it's a stupid question.
