The Ten Commandments are the foundation of Western civilization, but most Americans don't even know what they are. They are the rules that should keep us free, yet most Americans do not even know them, let alone know the significance of them. In this episode, we will go through the ten commandments and see if you actually know all of them, or if you can even remember them from memory! If you can't remember them, then you don't know the meaning of them or that they should be displayed in all of our schools, churches, and public schools, but at least the ten commandments used to be displayed all over our public schools and public buildings. But at least they were displayed in our courtrooms, in our homes, and in our churches. And guess what? All of our churches don't have them. And why is that? Why is it that we don't see them in our schools or in public places? What does it have to do with religion? And why does it matter? Is it because they don't exist? in the eyes of the modern world? Or is it because we don t know them? If they do, then why do they matter to us? or do they really matter to you? I'll tell you why they do matter to me and why they are so important to us, and why we should have them in schools, homes and public places and everywhere else? and in public if we are going to live up to the standards that we should be living up to our highest standard of freedom and freedom or at least have them displayed in the best possible way in every aspect of our society they are the most important things in our culture the ones we are taught in our books and our schools and books And the ones that we are supposed to have in our day to day lives we should all know them why they're important what are they're so important? why are they so important and why should we need them in the Bible Why are they be displayed everywhere who knows them in every public place How do we should we know them ? What do you think they matter how important they are when it matters to us where should we be taught them ? what do they belong in our classrooms, and etc?

00:01:03.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:41.000I want to talk about the Ten Commandments because I believe that, as a nation, we were once founded on these core ideas, these core beliefs, and we've deviated away from that.
00:01:52.000Every civilization has a structure of which it's built upon, okay?
00:01:58.000One of the great lies of what's happening in America right now Is that the people that have taken over this country, mostly Marxists and secularists, people that don't believe in God, they say that, well, we're just gonna let you to determine your own belief system, and live and let live, and we're not gonna tell you what is right or wrong.
00:02:17.000They're creating their own constellation of modern Ten Commandments.
00:02:22.000So, we're gonna go through the Ten Commandments.
00:02:23.000I'm gonna quiz you to see if you guys actually know all ten of them.
00:02:27.000Things that are not always mentioned about the Ten Commandments.
00:02:29.000And then we're going to kind of play around and try to, we don't have to get to ten, but what are the new Ten Commandments that we're living under?
00:02:37.000Because there are things that are considered to be thou shalt nots within society today.
00:04:05.000You know, I do the test at churches, at churches, and not even all church attenders can... they can get to like six or seven, which is horrifying.
00:04:13.000We'll get to questions in a second, okay?
00:04:15.000So, but going even deeper and beyond that, the...
00:04:20.000The Ten Commandments are not about trying to make life less enjoyable for us.
00:04:25.000They're actually rules to set us free.
00:04:27.000Set us free from our sinful and depraved and broken nature.
00:04:33.000And so, the beauty of the Ten Commandments is that it starts with our relationship with God, and then there's a Bridge Commandment, which of course involves your parents.
00:04:42.000We're going to talk extensively about that.
00:04:44.000And then our relationship with our fellow man.
00:04:46.000So, who wants to... Here's a real good pop quiz for you homeschoolers out there.
00:06:42.000You go away from these ten things, you'll go back to the House of Bonded of Egypt.
00:06:47.000And understand that it's not just that they were slaves, that Pharaoh in the book of Exodus, my favorite book of the Bible besides the book of John, by the way, is best compared to Hitler.
00:06:58.000He literally said, kill all the firstborn sons.
00:07:20.000Then, my friend over here, what's your name?
00:07:22.000Johnny, what is technically... So most, in the Jewish tradition, they say the first commandment is actually, I am the Lord your God, who delivered you out of the house of bondage of Egypt.
00:08:01.000When I say this to many audiences, they think this is the least applicable to today's time.
00:08:08.000When in reality, it's the most applicable to today's time.
00:08:11.000Whether it could be the God of social media, the God of self, the God of pleasure, the God of environmentalism.
00:08:19.000That nothing should be higher than God in your life.
00:08:23.000Now, that's a very, very difficult thing for us.
00:08:25.000And that's why it is the first commandment.
00:08:27.000You don't get the first commandment right, none of the other nine actually matter.
00:08:31.000Now, I'd ask you what the second commandment is in Catholicism, which is different than... What is... Who wants to say the second commandment?
00:08:51.000No, you might say, oh, that one doesn't matter, that one's not... In America, we just had an entire month, Pride Month, Where more people would observe and worship the rainbow flag than the cross of Jesus.
00:09:08.000A blatant and direct violation of the Second... I was gonna say Second Amendment, but no.
00:10:52.000It is every day, in Hebrew it is called the Kaddush in Judaism, which they will say every Friday night, they will say, Lord, you created the heavens and the earth.
00:11:03.000If we as Christians don't honor the Sabbath, which I believe, by the way, is one of the most violated and disregarded, to our own detriment, commandments from the Lord, that every time we do this, we are saying, God, you created all of this.
00:11:17.000I believe that honoring the Sabbath makes it easier To have no other gods before him.
00:11:23.000That if you honor the Sabbath, I think the Sabbath is the commandment that unlocks all the other commandments.
00:11:31.000That if you honor the Sabbath, then every single one of the commandments becomes easier and becomes more likely to actually occur and happen.
00:11:38.000And, again, I could do a whole speech on the Sabbath.
00:11:40.000Here's what I do, and I encourage you guys to do it.
00:11:42.000The sooner you embrace a legit Sabbath in your life, the happier you will be, the more joyful you'll be, and the closer to God you'll be.
00:11:53.000It's only family, reading, and non-work activities.
00:11:58.000And if I'm a pretty busy guy, as you know, three podcasts a day, national radio show, God has been really good to us, Turning Point USA, Turning Point Action.
00:12:06.000If I'm able to shut off for 36 hours, you're able to shut off for 36 hours.
00:12:10.000The sooner that you are able to do that, your life will be better.
00:12:15.000And I can tell by the golf applause, you're like, well, I don't understand.
00:14:05.000So if you cannot, and again this is a good way to kind of challenge your parents a little bit, if I walked into your home and I could not tell the difference, then you're not honoring the Sabbath.
00:15:29.000Think about giving religion a really bad name, or Christianity a bad name.
00:15:34.000Where you walk around and you, let's say that you are a fornicator or you're doing something and you also say you are a Christian, you are carrying the name of God towards evil purposes.
00:15:47.000And we could all think of examples of what that actually is.
00:15:50.000And that means those of us that call ourselves Christians, that we must really believe it.
00:15:55.000And that we should never do evil in the name of God.
00:18:07.000For example, when you guys, if you go off to college, which I do not recommend, but if you end up going off to college, calling your parents every single week.
00:18:16.000Failure to do that means, If you cannot honor your earthly father, you will never be able to honor your heavenly father.
00:18:25.000It is a test of whether or not you can actually honor the divine and the eternal father.
00:18:31.000This is a beautiful thing because it's the last of the five commandments on the first tablet because it's a segue to all of the ten commandments between man.
00:19:40.000The difference between murder and killing is that murder has an intent on anger or revenge, and killing has an intent on stopping a threat.
00:19:50.000Here's how you know that it does not, it's not a prohibition on killing.
00:19:54.000What is the only commandment, what is the only commandment, it's not of the Ten Commandments, it's like in Torah Levitical law, what is the only one that is in all five books of the Torah?
00:20:42.000No, but that is stealing something that is not your own.
00:20:46.000How about taking a, this happens all the time in my industry, which is people that talk for a living, taking an idea or a concept that you did not come up with and not giving that person attribution.
00:24:52.000The answer was that it was about an orientation of desires.
00:24:56.000I have a more cynical explanation, which is that in Catholicism, there's a lot of things that could flirt on idolatry, and they didn't want that to be its own commandment.
00:25:37.000Social media is designed around you coveting.
00:25:42.000And so, to covet, it's very, very interesting that in Judaism, they really struggle with this one.
00:25:50.000We don't, as Christians, and I'll tell you why, it's a very important thing, which is that we as Christians are open to talking about how sin can be both internal and external.
00:26:18.000So, to covet, therefore, is a battle within yourself to restrain your nature, okay?
00:26:28.000Imagine if this country even had a little bit less of coveting, and I... Thou shall not covet, and the last thing I'll say on this, is the root of socialism.
00:26:38.000You cannot have a socialistic society, you cannot have Bernie Sanders, or AOC, if you do not covet.
00:26:59.000Socialism is a walking violation of two of the Ten Commandments and probably even more if you count the murder spree of the socialist history.
00:27:06.000That is a short summary of the Ten Commandments.
00:27:08.000I hope that you guys learned something new with that.
00:27:11.000However, let's now try to speculate what are some of the commandments in today's America?
00:29:36.000Eighty to ninety percent of modern churches are preaching this, I was gonna say a not-so-great word, um, garbage.
00:29:43.000When in reality, revival requires repentance.
00:29:48.000And repentance requires an acknowledgment that you are a sinner.
00:29:53.000It requires a hot gospel that shows that you cannot live up to God's law.
00:29:58.000We went through those Ten Commandments.
00:30:00.000We violate, like, five out of ten on a daily basis, don't we?
00:30:04.000And so society drifts from Jesus when you drift from the law, because people don't think they need Jesus, because that's no longer the law.
00:30:13.000And they say, well, I don't need Jesus.
00:30:14.000I'm master of my own life, and my body my choice, and I'm the most important thing in the world.
00:34:39.000But if you're an American man, and you don't, like, something in you doesn't get triggered, like, when you see him, like, pop up after getting shot, and, like, pump his fist up, like, you're a trans man, and, like, honestly, I mean that.
00:34:49.000Like, there's something wrong with you.
00:34:51.000I mean, I don't know about you, I saw that, and I was like, that is next level.
00:34:55.000Like, something that got so activated in me.
00:34:58.000He got shot, and he's up there, like, saying, fight, fight, fight.
00:35:04.000I'm sorry, like, I just... God's not done with this country.
00:35:08.000I know that might not be persuasive to your neighbors or whatever.
00:35:14.000And I could prove... Here's actually an interesting answer.
00:35:17.000So, the people that have been telling us that he's a Nazi for the last eight years, as soon as he got shot, they're like, I'm deeply praying for Donald Trump and that I hope he gets better.
00:36:39.000And they're worried that Donald Trump is Hitler and he's a Nazi.
00:36:44.000Yeah, I know that's not the most articulate answer, but I'm kind of in a different mode right now, where I saw someone who I've got to know so well walk in with a severed ear from a bullet that nearly killed him.
00:37:54.000I believe that the difference we are making outside of running for office is greater than just being, you know, a senator or some office holder.
00:38:02.000I believe this is where God has called us to be.
00:38:04.000I could not tell you the joy that I had last night and the gratitude to God where I was able to literally sit in a corner and kind of be a spectator and watch J.D.
00:38:15.000and Trump and I just said, They got it.
00:38:22.000I was like, if someone's better and someone's more equipped, I was just like so full of just incredible, like, gratitude that God put all that together.
00:38:33.000I was like the happiest spectator fan that a human being could be at that moment.
00:39:08.000In Arizona, because of our lack of early voting, Carrie Lake should have become governor, and she didn't because we had widespread machine tabulation failures because of that.
00:39:19.000And so we're trying to say, hey, it's better to go vote early than not vote at all.
00:39:24.000And so it's part of a big campaign that we're doing here.
00:39:27.000And every one of you, who here is 18, by the way?
00:41:11.000We are seeing a massive resurgence of younger voters going the conservative direction, the likes of which could be an extinction event for the modern Democrat Party.
00:41:47.000My friend Dennis Prager famously tells a story that he hated Jimmy Carter, but Jimmy Carter once came into his radio station and he stood up for the president because out of respect for the office of the presidency.
00:43:01.000Sound of Hope is the... it's a... there's a word they used for it that is connective to... it's a totally different story, but it's about foster care kids being brought in What would the Founding Fathers say about this country?
00:43:40.000So, I think they would be deeply surprised at the fourth branch of government, which has come out of nowhere, which is unconstitutional—the FBI, the Department of Justice, the CIA, the EPA.
00:43:52.000I do think, though, that there would be some shock, if they just woke up today, at how long the Constitution lasted.
00:43:59.000And I think that they would be impressed with their own creation.
00:44:02.000If you read their journals, they didn't know if this thing was going to last.
00:44:06.000And that just goes to show the brilliance of the Constitution, because it was written to stand the test of time, not just written for the times.
00:44:14.000Okay, two more questions of people that have not asked questions or commented.
00:45:20.000Politics is the assumption of power given by the people to be able to then put forward laws and customs and regulations to then go after, hopefully, an improvement in society.
00:45:33.000Politics is only possible if you are able to get political power, and you get political power through elections.
00:45:38.000Now, you might say, but Charlie, it's bigger than just elections.
00:45:41.000Well, I agree, but we're not going to save any babies if we don't win the presidency.
00:46:07.000He's in a difficult position because we, as pro-life warriors, we also must have the humility to realize we are not in the majority of this country right now.
00:46:20.000And you might disagree, but we lose ballot referendums in Montana, in Kentucky, in Kansas.
00:46:25.000We will get there, because we are going to be relentless in educating and opening people's eyes about the crime and the horror and the sins of the abortion industry.
00:46:34.000We must now look at abortion the same way we looked at slavery, through a lens of incrementalism.
00:47:37.000Number three, temporarily, we need to let the states discuss this and send it back to the states and respect our Federalist consent to the governed model.
00:47:44.000And number four, reminding people, as we are incrementalists, the Democrats are the extremists on this issue.
00:47:51.000That they want post-birth abortion and they're okay with abortion after death.
00:47:55.000And if you might say, but Charlie, I want him to call for a national abortion ban.
00:47:59.000That is not going to happen in the next couple of years.
00:48:02.000There is not political appetite for that.
00:48:05.000There is not even the consensus of the people to demand that yet.
00:48:08.000So then politics is the art of the possible.
00:48:11.000The art of the deal, the art of the possible.
00:48:13.000And so President Trump understands that without winning the election, right, we get none of our stuff done, while simultaneously being very morally clear on abortion.
00:48:22.000So here's how I'd say, he is a pro-life pragmatist, is what Donald Trump is.
