The Glenn Beck Program - Who is America’s ＂god＂ now？｜ Easter Special ｜ 4⧸17⧸22

00:00:00.000 All of history's strongest empires are no more.

00:00:08.260 The Mongol Empire, it's gone. 0.98

00:00:11.240 Roman Empire fell.

00:00:13.980 The Ottoman Empire, that's finished. 0.98

00:00:17.720 And the British Empire, from rising sun to setting sun, dissolved.

00:00:24.840 America?

00:00:25.760 America?

00:00:27.120 Well, she's not down yet.

00:00:30.840 Well, technically we're not an empire. 0.99

00:00:33.300 Shut up, Karen. 1.00

00:00:35.120 The point is that every society that has ever led the world has diminished or collapsed. 0.97

00:00:42.820 And in those times, it's a scary and exciting time to be alive.

00:00:48.160 As Dickens wrote, it was the best of times.

00:00:51.620 It was the worst of times.

00:00:55.400 America is not the unsinkable ship we thought she was.

00:00:58.940 And the iceberg is not just close.

00:01:02.420 We've already hit it.

00:01:04.120 If you think the currency is unstable, have you looked at our kids?

00:01:08.940 We live in a time where every woman of the year this year is a man. 0.98

00:01:13.420 We live in a time where every woman of the year this year is a man. 0.98

00:01:19.600 And every man is told he's an oppressor.

00:01:25.300 Our Ivy League students want more censorship and our government wants more surveillance.

00:01:44.580 All while we grow more and more isolated, depressed, and unstable.

00:01:51.620 We've lost our way, America.

00:01:53.620 We've lost our unum.

00:01:54.900 And nobody really knows how to get it back.

00:01:59.800 While all of this is going on, the brave new world is accelerating towards us at an incredible speed.

00:02:06.780 Futurists, dreamers, and innovators foretell a future where man and machine become one.

00:02:13.280 A world more virtual than physical.

00:02:16.980 A world where technology extends life beyond death and intelligence beyond our universe.

00:02:24.520 Some say we'll colonize Mars before 2030.

00:02:28.600 Others say we have to do that because we've got to get off this planet before we link to computers.

00:02:36.080 But one thing is certain.

00:02:39.100 Life as we know it is changing forever.

00:02:44.700 Are we ready?

00:02:47.840 If we don't enter into this brave new technological era with some collective moral agreements,

00:02:54.340 then our advancements will overtake and doom us.

00:02:58.760 If we can't define the difference between a man and a woman, 0.98

00:03:01.820 can we know the difference between man and machine?

00:03:06.080 What are the ethics of this new world?

00:03:08.660 What is life?

00:03:10.880 How do you live in a virtual world?

00:03:14.000 What gives us meaning?

00:03:17.560 Are we just giant pieces of meat being driven around by machine brains?

00:03:22.500 Are we a dwelling place for God?

00:03:26.580 Are we just a sum of what we've experienced?

00:03:29.920 Or do we have immortal souls trapped in mortal bodies?

00:03:33.200 If all of the data of who I am can be downloaded, does that mean I live forever?

00:03:41.440 Is that even me?

00:03:43.280 Or is there something more to me?

00:03:46.180 Something that could never be downloaded, reproduced, or preserved?

00:03:50.300 If a machine can deduce, communicate, abstract, out ideas, imitate, infer patterns,

00:04:02.460 if they can write poetry and art, tell us they love us, is that real?

00:04:09.360 Are they human?

00:04:10.380 If they respond to touch and seem to make friends, if they say, I am lonely, are they any different

00:04:20.060 than us?

00:04:22.240 If a car is driving itself and there's no time for that car to stop, Elon Musk is on the

00:04:27.820 right and the president is on the left, and Mother Teresa is in front of us, who should

00:04:33.640 the car hit?

00:04:34.500 We, as humans, won't be able to decide, but MIT is already working on that, because the

00:04:43.340 car will be fast enough to decide who lives and who dies.

00:04:47.180 My question is, what moral standard are they using?

00:04:50.700 Ours?

00:04:52.660 Because I don't know what our moral standard is anymore.

00:04:55.540 According to the NIH, artificial intelligence will be used more extensively in healthcare

00:05:03.520 in 10 years.

00:05:04.960 But don't fear the machine, fear the programmer.

00:05:08.480 Someone, somewhere in the world of big tech is developing the technology that literally will

00:05:14.060 be making life and death decisions.

00:05:16.880 Do you trust that guy?

00:05:19.140 Do you know who that guy even is?

00:05:21.540 Because soon it just becomes an algorithm.

00:05:26.340 Where did that programmer get his values?

00:05:28.880 Are they the same as mine or yours?

00:05:31.800 Also in the NIH website is a report that scientists now are using CRISPR technology for human enhancement.

00:05:40.640 They are genetically modifying babies in test tubes, and they say it's working.

00:05:48.700 Genetically tailored humans.

00:05:51.540 What could possibly go wrong?

00:05:54.340 Oh, and the Pentagon went ahead and admitted, we have seen UFOs.

00:05:58.480 Nobody really paid any attention.

00:06:00.420 But can I just ask the question?

00:06:02.020 If aliens come down with a higher level of intelligence, are they our masters?

00:06:08.380 Are we like animals to them?

00:06:11.400 Or are we all created equal?

00:06:16.660 Who decides?

00:06:18.960 Well, God does.

00:06:20.040 But do we believe in God anymore?

00:06:23.300 And how could we even make this case to aliens or a machine if we're not living it now?

00:06:30.260 We don't believe in God as much as we used to.

00:06:33.000 According to Pew Research Center, the secularization, the shift is now evident in the American society.

00:06:40.180 So far in the 21st century, we show no signs of slowing.

00:06:45.440 Pew's religious landscape study breaks the data down by age group.

00:06:49.040 They found that each new generation cares about God less and less.

00:06:53.160 The generational declines?

00:06:54.960 Belief in God.

00:06:56.120 Frequency of prayer.

00:06:57.360 Importance of religion in one's life.

00:06:59.940 And even frequency of feeling spiritual peace and well-being.

00:07:05.160 Our nation is abandoning the God of our founding.

00:07:08.380 So where do we go to answer huge questions about right and wrong, life and death, meaning and values?

00:07:17.080 Without a God to order our society, a God that empowers you, not the government, not special interests, but you,

00:07:23.900 who's going to step in to fill that gap and will that person empower or enslave?

00:07:32.500 As America shakes off our religious foundation in the name of freedom, we have not freed ourselves from dogma or religious strictures.

00:07:41.220 Far from it.

00:07:41.960 We've just introduced new dogmas, new strictures.

00:07:45.380 There is a new religious cult in America.

00:07:49.740 It's wokeism.

00:07:52.000 Is this our new God?

00:07:54.820 It is accepted wisdom that you cannot serve two masters, but it should be equally regarded that everyone serves someone or something.

00:08:05.900 So one God must perish, and in its death, all of its traditions, histories, and decency will be buried along with it.

00:08:15.880 Is this what we want?

00:08:18.620 Because this is the choice in front of us now, the elephant in the room,

00:08:22.400 the root of our problems and solutions.

00:08:26.820 Not to just question and think, but come up with an answer.

00:08:34.360 And if you think you don't have to answer this question, no answer is an answer.

00:08:42.460 The good news is this has all happened before, and if we know the results, perhaps we can change our thinking to change our course.

00:08:49.620 So today, as we enter in this new era, an era rife with ethical debates, a crisis of meaning, and the last-ditch efforts to remain functioning in the world,

00:09:04.460 We have to ask the question, who is America's God now?

00:09:10.940 We aren't the first country to attempt nationally to rinse that God right out of our hair. 0.98

00:09:24.380 There's really nothing new under the sun, and although we sometimes remember the problems of the past,

00:09:32.400 We then go on to tell ourselves, ah, it's not going to happen here, or this time, it's different.

00:09:38.520 So in doing that, we rarely remember any of the solutions,

00:09:42.420 And in that way, we doom ourselves to repeat our failures over and over throughout history.

00:09:48.740 This is our country, our freedom, our children's future.

00:09:53.740 We should all have to give informed consent.

00:09:58.140 Do we want this new world order, the Great Reset, or any of its other names or prophets, CRT, BLM Inc., Wokeism?

00:10:07.220 If not, we can stop the cycle, but we have to recognize the pattern first.

00:10:12.780 So let me take you back to the French Revolution in the 1790s.

00:10:17.220 The French Revolution was the result of many things, but religious unrest was undeniably one of them.

00:10:24.140 When the Cathedral of Notre Dame was stormed by angry revolutionaries,

00:10:28.640 They decapitated 20 statues, because they thought they were beheading French kings,

00:10:34.600 But they were actually statues of kings of Judah.

00:10:38.740 It's kind of a clever irony.

00:10:40.540 The Cathedral of Notre Dame represented everything the revolutionaries hated.

00:10:45.220 Not only was it religiously significant, but the cathedral was the symbol of the monarchy.

00:10:52.240 Henry VI of England was crowned king of France there.

00:10:56.200 Religion and politics had corrupted each other in the pursuit of power, 0.99

00:11:00.400 And people could hardly tell the two apart.

00:11:02.480 In the revolutionaries' rage against the establishment, they were eager to destroy all connections,

00:11:08.940 Not just to the church, but to God himself.

00:11:11.980 This would prove to be a real challenge, considering most French citizens were Catholic.

00:11:17.380 Catholicism was the state religion, and the church owned a lot of property.

00:11:22.000 Yet, people had grown tired of the church and its guiding hand in the nation.

00:11:28.540 The vision of a de-Christianized France captured the minds of the revolutionaries.

00:11:34.020 They massacred and jailed priests, made public worship illegal,

00:11:39.660 And rushed to destroy every symbol of religion left standing.

00:11:42.860 The cathedral itself became the site of the anti-religious festival,

00:11:48.600 The festival of reason, which moxed Catholicism, 0.76

00:11:52.180 And suggested Parisians worship the principles of the Enlightenment instead.

00:11:57.860 This festival was the opening ceremony for the first state-sponsored atheistic religion,

00:12:03.380 The cult of reason.

00:12:05.060 The new atheistic religion held their launch party at the cathedral,

00:12:10.920 To send a very clear message that reason would replace traditional religion,

00:12:16.420 By any means necessary.

00:12:18.440 The bishop of Paris and the clergy were forced to attend the festival,

00:12:21.720 And publicly renounced their religion,

00:12:23.860 And promised to henceforth only recognize the public worship of liberty, equality, and fraternity.

00:12:31.140 What Constantine had done in the name of Christianity, 0.75

00:12:35.060 The French did in the name of reason. 1.00

00:12:39.300 But the great irony in the fallout of the French Revolution,

00:12:42.060 Was that the revolutionaries thought they were freeing themselves from religion,

00:12:46.880 But in reality, they just swapped oppressors.

00:12:51.200 Absent the Catholic Church, 1.00

00:12:54.900 New and still quite demanding,

00:12:57.580 Secular religions stepped in to fill the gaps.

00:13:01.560 It was Maximilien Robespierre,

00:13:03.340 A prominent leader of the French Revolution,

00:13:05.020 Who was wholly unimpressed with the cult of reason,

00:13:07.460 And proposed instead,

00:13:09.480 The cult of supreme being.

00:13:11.960 Where the cult of reason insisted on a world without God,

00:13:15.060 The cult of supreme being,

00:13:16.860 Accepted the existence of a supernatural deity,

00:13:20.080 But professed that this deity,

00:13:22.040 Didn't interfere with men's lives.

00:13:25.020 There was a God to stir the people,

00:13:27.540 But only men could tell them what to do.

00:13:29.780 How convenient for Robespierre.

00:13:33.200 This new cult organized the ordinary people, 0.96

00:13:36.200 And instilled in them proper morals and patriotism.

00:13:41.380 It was the transitory ideology between the worship of a God,

00:13:45.620 And the worship of a country,

00:13:46.900 Or worse,

00:13:48.060 The worship of countries' leadership.

00:13:50.860 Robespierre doubted the cult of reason could actually handle the work of organizing society,

00:13:55.820 So he peppered this new cult with recognizable religious undertones,

00:14:01.000 In the hopes of inspiring the masses.

00:14:03.540 This new religion came with rituals, 0.94

00:14:06.140 Virtues,

00:14:06.780 Commandments,

00:14:07.360 And holidays,

00:14:08.320 Including the festival of the supreme being,

00:14:11.280 Where Robespierre gallantly climbed up a papier-mâché mountain,

00:14:15.280 And sang revolutionary songs,

00:14:17.600 While the ordinary people looked on from below.

00:14:20.120 One of Robespierre's critics actually said,

00:14:23.780 It is not enough for him to be in charge,

00:14:25.580 He now has to be God.

00:14:29.720 So why did the French leap from one religious order to the next?

00:14:34.340 Is it possible that in their zeal to get rid of anything resembling church,

00:14:39.380 They took for granted the role religion plays in ordering society?

00:14:47.060 They removed the iron fist of the Catholic Church, 0.91

00:14:50.120 But it appears they had no plans of what to replace it with.

00:14:57.080 They missed the do unto others,

00:15:00.640 Forgive others,

00:15:01.720 And serve part of the faith.

00:15:05.200 So the opportunistic ideologies of men stepped in as an alternative.

00:15:11.080 They replaced the idea of forgiveness with the guillotine.

00:15:15.500 Are we not doing the same thing today?

00:15:29.280 Are we not experiencing a digital beheading for those who betray the gods of our new society?

00:15:38.000 It's ironic that we look now at what's happening in Paris again.

00:15:49.020 There was a fire in the great cathedral of Notre Dame.

00:15:54.480 And it destroyed everything that had been rebuilt after the temple of reason.

00:16:01.880 A fire destroyed it this time.

00:16:06.840 And it's being rebuilt.

00:16:10.040 And it once again has become a new temple.

00:16:13.520 Not to God.

00:16:16.840 But a temple to social justice.

00:16:20.840 A temple to equity.

00:16:23.220 A temple to earth.

00:16:31.940 Have we not just done exactly the same thing that the revolutionaries did

00:16:37.880 When they killed God?

00:16:42.180 Wanted to rid themselves for something that would be better?

00:16:45.600 A utopia where everyone would be free?

00:16:49.940 When churches become political.

00:17:02.100 And the government uses that.

00:17:07.120 When political government becomes the church and the church becomes the government.

00:17:14.540 We make bad mistakes.

00:17:22.880 And sometimes we throw the baby out with the bathwater.

00:17:26.260 And we swing, as they did in their fervor in France, too far in the opposite direction.

00:17:34.080 When we come back, why Nietzsche was right.

00:17:37.820 But not for the reason everybody else says he was right.

00:17:42.320 We've got to stand up.

00:17:46.040 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:03.980 Today, part one of a five-part series.

00:18:08.560 Where we ask, what God is it that we are worshiping now?

00:18:16.240 Because as Michelle Obama said, Barack knows.

00:18:20.420 That we have to change our traditions.

00:18:22.880 Our language.

00:18:25.120 We have to change everything.

00:18:28.160 And we have.

00:18:30.820 But can we just stop and pause for a minute.

00:18:33.620 And ask, is this the direction we want to go?

00:18:40.680 And are we worshiping a new God?

00:18:44.880 Absent the discussion of whether or not God is real.

00:18:48.620 Is the discussion of whether or not cultures need some sort of faith to bind them together morally.

00:18:56.280 And do the people find that themselves or is it inflicted upon them?

00:19:04.200 Regardless of a person's belief in God, if you ask them if there are things that they could do to make their life worse,

00:19:11.300 everybody could rattle off a few things.

00:19:13.620 I mean, murdering someone would come to mind.

00:19:17.620 That would make life much worse.

00:19:19.180 So would, you know, abandoning a child or abusing an elderly person.

00:19:25.060 These are the kinds of actions we almost universally agree would make life worse and we shouldn't do them.

00:19:32.060 But on the reverse, there have to be things that we can do to make life better.

00:19:37.760 And those things must be universal.

00:19:41.660 They must conform to, as our founders put it, some sort of natural law.

00:19:49.180 We already know these things.

00:19:51.720 Because those are the actions we point to when we say, and we all agree, that's a good person.

00:19:59.400 But where do we derive good from?

00:20:03.060 Is it something that we're born with?

00:20:05.740 I used to think these rights are self-evident, but I'm not sure anymore.

00:20:10.760 I think maybe we have to be taught what is good.

00:20:15.700 Why is murder wrong?

00:20:17.360 Why isn't it murder when I put my dog down?

00:20:23.740 Why is it everybody knows how hard that is, but they don't question your right to put your dog down.

00:20:29.860 But now putting your mom down would be different.

00:20:35.160 Why are humans more valuable than a dog?

00:20:38.060 I think we still have some national morals that bind us together, that prioritize human life, but those are quickly dwindling.

00:20:49.700 Quickly.

00:20:51.000 Last month, we may have universally agreed that teaching kindergartners about sex and transsexuals is wrong.

00:21:02.780 Shouldn't do that.

00:21:03.540 Not a good idea.

00:21:04.340 But this month, I don't know.

00:21:07.980 We used to agree that a man shouldn't be allowed to bunk with a woman in a women's prison. 1.00

00:21:12.900 Because sex will happen. 0.99

00:21:16.540 But California, they can't figure out why the trans women, the people who were men, still are men, somehow or another, they've been introduced into the prison.

00:21:29.880 But the women, strangely, almost miraculously, are finding themselves pregnant in an all-women's prison. 1.00

00:21:44.280 Colorado just passed a law saying that unborn babies have no rights and can be aborted at any time without restrictions.

00:21:51.740 We are so far away from safe, legal, and rare, which should show us that the slippery slope is real.

00:22:01.540 But my question is, have we hit bottom yet?

00:22:06.460 We have taken moral agreements for granted.

00:22:10.100 We have not paid attention to our national values or tended them.

00:22:13.880 We expected them just to naturally sustain themselves.

00:22:20.220 That hasn't worked.

00:22:24.040 Can we count on knowing right and wrong innately?

00:22:28.080 Or do we need something that guides us?

00:22:31.740 Is right and wrong decided individually?

00:22:35.040 Or do we have to agree on it?

00:22:36.940 For example, if I only believe that murder is wrong, but my neighbor who wants to kill me does not, then I think we're going to struggle living in a neighborhood together.

00:22:48.860 A nation requires at least a minimum level of moral order.

00:22:53.780 Or else the system collapses.

00:22:55.840 Look what's happening in our cities.

00:22:57.880 The question of our time is actually, how much order do we need?

00:23:02.800 Terrible things, yes, have been done in the name of God and religion. 1.00

00:23:07.180 But let's not forget the horrid things done under the umbrella of a godless system like Nazism and communism. 0.90

00:23:16.120 Communism alone is estimated to kill up to over 100 million people last century.

00:23:23.680 The only thing that beat communism at death was disease.

00:23:28.660 Yet I argue that our ideas of morality are not conceived of independently.

00:23:36.600 Morality is received from the wisdom of others throughout history.

00:23:40.620 In America, our morality has Judeo-Christian framework, a framework many of us have just taken for granted.

00:23:48.320 This morality is baked into our system of government through the protection of natural rights, the freedom of religion,

00:23:55.620 the value placed on human life, equal justice, and so on.

00:24:07.280 There's a God-shaped hole in all of us.

00:24:14.260 As Aristotle said, nature abhors a vacuum.

00:24:17.660 He meant this as a physical principle, but it is aged into an idiom that basically means if there's a hole, it's going to be filled.

00:24:31.420 We see this in practice when somebody tries to quit smoking.

00:24:36.220 The smoker doesn't usually quit the habit without forming a new habit.

00:24:39.680 That's because we humans are more motivated by positive actions than negative ones.

00:24:47.120 When I want to smoke, I'll chew gum instead.

00:24:50.040 More powerful than when I want to smoke, I just am not going to do it.

00:24:54.300 That's not going to work.

00:24:56.940 In religious circles, there's a concept that inside every person, there is a God-shaped hole.

00:25:02.820 And if God doesn't fill that hole, something else will.

00:25:08.680 And it's usually not something real good.

00:25:13.200 In Matthew 43, Jesus warned of this in a cautionary tale.

00:25:17.320 He told his disciples, he said,

00:25:18.900 An unclean spirit came out of a man and then traveled around looking for somewhere else to live.

00:25:24.600 It didn't find anywhere.

00:25:25.660 So it went back to the man and found that the hole he was living in before was still totally empty.

00:25:33.180 So he grabbed seven more unclean spirits and they all moved back in together.

00:25:38.520 And the man was worse off than he was before.

00:25:43.980 The man in the parable neglected to fill his hole.

00:25:47.960 And his life was much worse because of it.

00:25:50.640 It's kind of like what happened during the French Revolution.

00:25:53.900 The French revolutionaries destroyed institutions without understanding the role of those institutions

00:26:00.540 and the importance that they played in holding their nation together.

00:26:04.720 And in the end, they weren't better off.

00:26:07.600 They were far worse off.

00:26:12.140 Friedrich Nietzsche.

00:26:14.120 Yeah, the man who wrote the Antichrist.

00:26:16.980 That's a surprise on Easter week.

00:26:18.520 The man who railed against Christianity.

00:26:20.880 He's remembered for his work, The Madman, in which he wrote, God is dead. 0.79

00:26:26.500 God remains dead. 0.99

00:26:28.240 And we have killed him.

00:26:30.380 How can we console ourselves? 0.99

00:26:32.620 The murderers of all murderers.

00:26:35.380 Now, most of us know that line.

00:26:37.900 Time magazine in the 1960s came out and they celebrated.

00:26:41.820 They made it just God is dead.

00:26:43.620 But the sentence that he followed the murderer of all murderers with is important.

00:26:50.140 Who will wipe this blood off of us?

00:26:54.000 What water is there for us to clean ourselves?

00:26:57.600 What festivals of atonement?

00:26:59.660 What sacred games shall we have to invent?

00:27:02.260 Is it is not the greatness of this deed.

00:27:09.480 It is the greatness of this deed that is too great for us.

00:27:14.640 Must we not become gods simply to appear worthy of this?

00:27:21.620 Nietzsche, in that sentence, asked the question that we should be wrestling with today.

00:27:26.780 Absent God, how do we atone for our sins?

00:27:34.460 Well, we have to become gods ourselves.

00:27:37.220 In our society, we're already answering that question.

00:27:43.120 But too many people are not realizing it.

00:27:46.860 There is a new God in town.

00:27:49.420 Who can take our guilt away?

00:27:51.940 The cult of wokeism?

00:27:53.100 We now have people going to the mob on Twitter to absolve their guilt when they sin against its religion.

00:28:05.200 Worse yet, is there even forgiveness in this new religion?

00:28:11.100 The high priests of wokeism, what's his name, X Kendi? 0.73

00:28:16.320 They will tell you, if you are white, you will always be guilty. 0.94

00:28:23.120 Does this religion have forgiveness?

00:28:26.360 And who grants that forgiveness?

00:28:31.660 If you look at modern culture, you see we are trying in every way we can to absolve ourselves of guilt.

00:28:39.840 Do we give acknowledgments to every Native American tribe, hoping that we feel better about us existing?

00:28:53.960 We apologize for assuming that someone who looks like a man is a man.

00:29:01.760 We've started to say things like, ah, as a cis white male, I feel it's best for me to keep my mouth shut, to make space for other, more marginalized voices.

00:29:12.680 We try to atone for our skin color, but you can't, our sex, but you can't, our families, our friends, our ancestors, even our old Facebook photos or posts. 0.80

00:29:26.460 We will confirm even the most outrageous ideologies if it means we can separate ourselves from guilt.

00:29:34.200 When Nietzsche said, God is dead, don't interpret that as, God is dead and all is well.

00:29:44.980 No need to give that any more thought, we're good.

00:29:49.160 What he meant was that belief in God was dead.

00:29:54.880 And it was our fault.

00:29:57.400 And that without God, everything about humanity must change.

00:30:02.060 Barak knows.

00:30:07.100 Throughout our history, we have organized ourselves around the belief in God.

00:30:13.580 Belief comforted us in death.

00:30:16.500 It gave us hope despite oppression.

00:30:19.440 It inspired us in battle.

00:30:22.940 Most importantly, the battles that were being fought with inside our own self.

00:30:28.140 God gave us the ideal model for our lives.

00:30:34.240 The model for the Judeo-Christian world was Moses and Jesus. 0.84

00:30:40.240 But most people, even people that claim that that is their faith,

00:30:46.680 don't really even understand who those people really were.

00:30:51.800 More and more Americans don't know anything about them.

00:31:00.680 Who is our role model?

00:31:04.400 As we've reasoned God out of our lives,

00:31:07.220 we have incidentally diminished a crucial part of what holds us together as human beings.

00:31:11.940 The part that looks upward to align itself with something better, with holiness.

00:31:21.060 I see what Nietzsche wrote as a warning to us about the vacuum left when we remove God from a God-shaped hole.

00:31:29.160 Gang, I have news for you.

00:31:30.800 We've already removed him.

00:31:33.240 America was never special because every single American believed in God, although many did.

00:31:53.280 What made us special was Americans agreed to participate in a culture that was formed by those who did believe in God

00:32:02.480 and expected us to behave as if there was a God.

00:32:07.720 I've known many people who don't believe in God.

00:32:10.600 They're good people.

00:32:12.720 Those people hate it when the government encroaches on their personal liver. 0.89

00:32:16.080 The government doesn't have a right.

00:32:18.380 Says who? 0.65

00:32:18.820 There is no quality justification for individual liberty without God.

00:32:27.700 In America, atheists are equally protected by it because God, somebody bigger than the government, 0.99

00:32:37.220 provided those rights equally to all of us.

00:32:42.920 Before we lose our freedom or worse, our souls,

00:32:46.380 America needs to consider again the role of God and moral order in our nation.

00:32:54.700 This week, Easter week and the week of Passover,

00:32:59.400 we look at our new God and our old God

00:33:04.420 and ask which one of these will empower us.

00:33:09.360 Tomorrow, it's not about some mass conversion to a single faith,

00:33:18.160 but we have to look at our old system and its hierarchy.

00:33:23.280 It's in America, always had God at the top. 0.83

00:33:27.980 Tomorrow, we look at science.

00:33:31.500 Yesterday, in part one of this series,

00:33:35.960 we looked at what seems to be a missing moral code,

00:33:40.300 a code that we all had.

00:33:43.400 Our society no longer seems to function.

00:33:47.100 Crime rates, suicide rates among our children

00:33:50.680 and basic common decency seem to be in rapid decline,

00:33:55.180 as is common sense.

00:33:56.700 Maybe it's because we're finding ourselves with less and less in common.

00:34:04.220 Is it all really about politics?

00:34:07.020 Is it really just we have to elect the right party and then they'll fix it?

00:34:11.660 Can a society, once based on the individual,

00:34:15.420 survive the policies that protect the collective over the individual?

00:34:20.100 Can the individual survive the vicious mob mentality of that same collective?

00:34:28.200 Yes, our politics have changed.

00:34:30.580 Our ability to muster a mob literally within a minute through social media

00:34:35.900 has had game-changing effects on all of us.

00:34:40.700 But I think there's something more that is missing.

00:34:44.580 This week, I'm searching for America's God.

00:34:48.720 In the past, it wasn't that all Americans agreed or believed in God,

00:34:54.320 and certainly we never were in lockstep on religion.

00:34:57.240 However, as we talked about yesterday,

00:35:00.660 America's moral code, which helped the individual self-regulate,

00:35:05.460 came from an understanding of a universal right and wrong,

00:35:10.440 Judeo-Christian ethics.

00:35:12.880 So if we no longer have that moral code,

00:35:16.780 what's filling that space?

00:35:19.580 Who or what is our God?

00:35:24.100 Today, I want to look at our relationship with science.

00:35:27.080 And before we begin, it's important to point out that we are looking at science,

00:35:31.400 not the science.

00:35:33.480 We can and should embrace the scientific method,

00:35:37.320 but there is no such thing as the science.

00:35:40.620 As it would have one believe that science and its conclusions are final,

00:35:46.000 and they are almost always not final.

00:35:50.200 Science gives us just the best explanation currently available for those questions of the physical world.

00:35:56.640 And when those seeking honest answers, not political ones,

00:36:00.760 or as in the Dark Ages, religious answers,

00:36:03.960 which technically, religious answers were political,

00:36:07.080 as the church had enormous power in the state apparatus,

00:36:10.020 perhaps all of our problems stem from the lack of understanding and pursuit of those things that cannot be found under a microscope,

00:36:23.680 but rather only upon reflection of the why as well as the how and what.

00:36:32.840 We estimate that human understanding can account for about 5% of the universe.

00:36:41.280 5%.

00:36:42.080 And that's our estimation.

00:36:45.300 It's probably a lot less than that.

00:36:47.920 And within that 5% is something labeled dark matter,

00:36:52.540 which I think is just a fancy way of saying,

00:36:56.420 ah, yeah, we don't have any clue on what it is.

00:36:59.660 There is clearly some sort of unknown energy that holds the universe together,

00:37:05.520 but we don't know what it is.

00:37:07.820 And it's much more than everything else we can see.

00:37:13.500 Dark matter outweighs visible matter 6 to 1,

00:37:16.960 which means most of what we, quote, know, we actually don't know.

00:37:23.260 Whether we label it energy or God,

00:37:26.100 we agree that there is some unknown force holding our galaxy together,

00:37:30.940 and we can't fully comprehend what or who or how it even works.

00:37:36.840 But many of us want to, desperately.

00:37:42.880 Most of the world still is a cosmic mystery to us,

00:37:47.460 just like it was when the Greeks were writing their myths,

00:37:50.660 or the Hebrews, when they passed down the story of creation.

00:37:54.400 Each generation does its best to answer these questions.

00:37:59.200 Who am I?

00:38:01.540 Where am I?

00:38:02.620 What should I be doing?

00:38:07.540 Why do I exist?

00:38:10.120 Are we alone?

00:38:13.340 I believe there's a duality to reality,

00:38:16.600 that material things have spiritual significance.

00:38:20.720 In reality,

00:38:22.980 if a home was the site of a horrific event,

00:38:26.900 murder, sexual assault, torture,

00:38:28.700 it's considered a stigmatized property.

00:38:33.240 There are even, in some states,

00:38:35.640 requirements to disclose the horrific events to a potential buyer.

00:38:41.640 In 2021, Realtor.com found that 80% of Americans would not live in a home where a murder took place.

00:38:50.440 Why?

00:38:52.680 There's no material explanation for that.

00:38:55.580 Just because somebody was murdered in a house doesn't mean the house is a murder house.

00:39:00.200 It's not affected once it's been cleaned and cleared.

00:39:03.420 But most people think that's just not the case.

00:39:08.160 We don't want to buy the murder house.

00:39:12.000 There's some unexplainable, non-material energy there, some people think.

00:39:19.340 There's so many mysteries in this world that can't be explained by only looking at the things we see.

00:39:25.220 We also have to consider the things that we do not see,

00:39:28.540 and how these two realities work together.

00:39:31.320 With science rapidly advancing discussions of religion, faith, philosophy,

00:39:38.580 our meaning have failed to keep pace.

00:39:43.640 We can calculate light speed, but we can't figure out how to keep our families together.

00:39:49.440 Medicines extend our lives, but we don't really know how to fill the extra time.

00:39:55.840 Yet, I believe, if we allow them to work together,

00:40:01.320 science and faith are natural allies.

00:40:06.060 At their best, they're both fundamentally based in an honest curiosity about the world.

00:40:11.700 They both inspire endless questions and a general sense of awe

00:40:16.420 about how masterfully this universe is put together.

00:40:19.240 When I was young, the biggest question was,

00:40:27.080 are we alone?

00:40:31.760 Every campfire, maybe we stopped asking this because we don't sit around campfires enough anymore,

00:40:37.720 or we live in cities where we can't see the stars and feel small.

00:40:41.240 But we would sit around a campfire and everyone would start to talk about the meaning of life,

00:40:48.740 and it would always end up with somebody looking up at the heavens and saying,

00:40:52.360 what a waste of space if we were alone.

00:40:55.300 We used to talk about those things,

00:40:58.480 and people were a little apprehensive of what it would mean if we could prove alien life,

00:41:08.360 because what would that do to our God?

00:41:11.440 What would it do to our religion?

00:41:12.900 In 2019, the Pentagon began to release information on what I believe is the biggest story in the history of mankind,

00:41:21.280 the physical proof of intelligent life previously unknown to us.

00:41:26.860 They verified it through three-point high-tech tracking systems that we now have.

00:41:33.420 We also verified that we have physical material and technology that experts say most likely come from outside of our solar system.

00:41:44.940 Yet you say that to people and it's not widely spread.

00:41:49.380 Why?

00:41:51.820 Is it because science has become about politics and has lost its partner of philosophy and religion,

00:42:00.380 which encourage us to answer the biggest questions of who am I and what is the meaning of life?

00:42:09.120 In a culture that loves to talk about following the science,

00:42:13.420 I say don't follow it.

00:42:16.620 Chase it.

00:42:23.360 We have made a huge mistake pitting religion and science against each other,

00:42:28.860 as if you had to choose just one of these lenses to view the whole world through.

00:42:34.900 I guess we thought the material truth discounted a spiritual truth or vice versa,

00:42:39.820 but that is not the case.

00:42:42.360 The practical study of the material world is an amazing and extremely important endeavor.

00:42:49.300 It has extended our lifespans and taught us what our bodies are literally made up of.

00:42:55.260 But science doesn't comfort us in death.

00:42:57.840 Science is cold.

00:42:59.580 It doesn't fulfill our need to belong.

00:43:02.940 It doesn't provide us with the why.

00:43:07.400 Just the how.

00:43:10.400 Similarly, religion doesn't teach us how to transplant a lung

00:43:14.500 or calculate velocity or even how to get from one place to another.

00:43:19.640 It doesn't do that.

00:43:20.680 It's not its job.

00:43:21.880 It's like science is a knife and religion is a spoon.

00:43:27.220 You don't eat steak with a spoon and you don't have soup with a knife.

00:43:33.540 If you did, you would assume the utensils are irreparably broken.

00:43:42.820 That's where we are. 0.60

00:43:44.040 You wonder why such useless utensils even exist.

00:43:49.100 If America is facing an energy crisis,

00:43:53.800 we should turn to science and the material world for solutions.

00:43:57.700 But if America is facing a crisis of meaning,

00:44:00.940 then we have to find our answers somewhere else.

00:44:03.920 It is truly a tragedy when this nation belittles the collective function of faith in our society

00:44:11.220 or when they refuse to examine physical realities.

00:44:15.340 It leaves us with only a fork for our soup or a spoon for our steaks.

00:44:20.400 The scientific method cannot produce proper values,

00:44:26.440 nor can the Bible teach you how to split an atom.

00:44:29.760 Yet we benefit from both of those things.

00:44:34.160 There's archaeological evidence that we may have started believing in the supernatural

00:44:38.280 as early as the Paleolithic period over two and a half million years ago

00:44:43.760 when we buried our dead in what looks like what may have been preparation for something after death.

00:44:50.400 Of course, we don't know for sure.

00:44:52.780 But from what we can study,

00:44:54.620 it seems like humans have been talking about God or gods for a very, very long time.

00:45:02.560 There are evolutionary anthropologists who argue that human beings evolved for belief in God.

00:45:10.140 Listen to this.

00:45:12.200 Evolutionary biologist Bridget Alex wrote in an article in Discover magazine

00:45:17.160 that there are three distinct human traits

00:45:20.060 that make humans ideal candidates for belief in God.

00:45:25.880 We learn by imitation,

00:45:27.820 we infer intentions,

00:45:30.080 and we look for patterns.

00:45:32.540 So let me break those down.

00:45:34.960 Patterns.

00:45:35.680 We see patterns in the cycle of life,

00:45:37.860 from the sun cycles to the seasons to traffic patterns.

00:45:40.820 And those times we say to ourself,

00:45:44.040 oh, I see where this is going.

00:45:46.380 We probably do know where it's going

00:45:48.820 because we recognize the patterns of how it has gone before.

00:45:53.640 Infer intentions.

00:45:55.440 Humans can look at what they see and infer what they don't see.

00:45:59.660 We rely on juries to do this in murder trials, for example.

00:46:03.860 It's a miraculous trait,

00:46:05.320 and we do it all the time.

00:46:08.140 It not only helps us navigate human relationship,

00:46:11.120 it also encourages us to look at the world

00:46:15.120 and infer its intentions,

00:46:17.780 which leads us to consider God.

00:46:22.200 Imitation.

00:46:24.220 If you've ever had the privilege of raising a child,

00:46:26.640 you know babies learn to walk, talk, and eat

00:46:29.260 just by watching other people and repeating what they do.

00:46:31.900 As we get older, we don't stop imitating.

00:46:35.540 It just gets more complex.

00:46:37.900 This is where the images of Moses and Jesus come in.

00:46:43.560 Imitation was evolutionarily beneficial

00:46:48.200 because it helped us advance.

00:46:50.740 We didn't have to remake the wheel

00:46:52.460 or rediscover fire with every new human being.

00:46:54.820 We could just imitate whoever and whatever somebody else knew

00:46:58.780 and pick it up where they left off.

00:47:00.700 And in the same vein,

00:47:01.960 if we saw that our ancestors' moral code was working,

00:47:05.880 we just imitated them.

00:47:08.620 But today, we're rejecting inherited wisdom

00:47:11.900 in exchange for change and reimagining.

00:47:16.740 But to just blindly reject our ancestors' ideas 0.96

00:47:20.180 without thorough examination is not only foolish,

00:47:23.940 it defies the natural human trait that got us this far.

00:47:28.220 Of course, we don't just imitate each other.

00:47:33.100 We also imitate God, or at least we try to.

00:47:36.480 This is where religion comes in

00:47:38.180 and the important figures.

00:47:40.920 In Islam, who is Muhammad? 0.52

00:47:45.540 He was a man with a sword.

00:47:48.460 In Judeo-Western culture,

00:47:51.500 who is Moses and who is Jesus?

00:47:53.180 Did they come with a sword?

00:47:58.140 Jesus, at worst, was just a great man.

00:48:03.060 And people throughout our generations

00:48:06.700 have done their best to imitate the way he lived.

00:48:11.740 The story of his ministry is the perfect imitation.

00:48:15.660 Religious instinct can even be seen now in our brains. 0.56

00:48:21.800 There is an entire field dedicated

00:48:23.960 to studying this neurotheology,

00:48:26.660 where the scientific method is applied

00:48:28.920 to study spiritually through our brain scans.

00:48:34.540 Scientists check out the brains of nuns, 0.69

00:48:37.480 Sikhs, atheists. 1.00

00:48:39.260 And it turns out our brains actually respond

00:48:41.680 to religious rituals like prayer and meditation.

00:48:44.480 It seems, either through design or evolution,

00:48:49.380 we are designed to respond to these things.

00:48:56.500 You could understand that from a secular worldview.

00:48:59.800 It proposes that our brains have adapted

00:49:02.620 to believing in God over time.

00:49:07.820 Or as a religious person would make sense of that,

00:49:10.680 if God is real, then he designed our brains

00:49:13.200 in a way which we could connect with him.

00:49:16.600 But the neuroscientist, Andrew Nurberg, wrote,

00:49:20.100 If you contemplate God long enough,

00:49:22.540 something surprisingly happens in the brain.

00:49:25.180 Neural functioning begins to change.

00:49:27.920 Different circuits become activated,

00:49:30.200 while others become deactivated.

00:49:33.040 New dendrites are formed.

00:49:34.940 New synaptic connections are made.

00:49:37.100 And the brain becomes more sensitive

00:49:39.140 to subtle realms of experience.

00:49:42.200 Perceptions alter.

00:49:43.480 Beliefs begin to change.

00:49:45.500 And if God has meaning for you,

00:49:47.060 then God becomes neurologically real.

00:49:50.860 Listening to him in long form,

00:49:52.460 it doesn't seem like he is proposing

00:49:53.820 that faith can be explained away

00:49:55.300 as a trick of the mind.

00:49:56.220 Rather, he is observing that the human brain

00:49:58.800 responds to faith

00:50:00.300 as if it's part of its job.

00:50:02.540 Knowing that tells us something

00:50:05.780 about who we are.

00:50:09.620 That's pretty amazing

00:50:10.520 when you think about it

00:50:11.260 from biology to our brains

00:50:12.600 and believing in God

00:50:14.360 has played a huge role

00:50:15.320 in shaping the human race

00:50:16.520 for a very long time.

00:50:17.500 But now we're becoming

00:50:18.520 less and less interested

00:50:19.600 in God or religion.

00:50:23.780 Have we evolved to keep up

00:50:25.220 with a lack of faith?

00:50:27.280 Or are we going to be left

00:50:28.600 with biological and neurological processes

00:50:30.980 with nowhere to channel them?

00:50:34.760 Thinking of humans

00:50:35.860 as broader society

00:50:37.100 over a long period of time,

00:50:38.380 should we be worried

00:50:39.440 about basically quitting God

00:50:41.700 cold turkey?

00:50:43.620 The answer is yes.

00:50:47.460 But is it God or religion

00:50:49.200 that we need?

00:50:50.000 And how much religion do we need?

00:50:52.100 And what is religion, by the way?

00:50:55.560 We try to answer that next.

00:50:57.800 We've got to stand up

00:51:01.180 The Glenn Beck Program

00:51:03.040 My dad never liked

00:51:09.980 to talk to me about God.

00:51:12.360 He would talk to me about

00:51:14.700 first things.

00:51:19.780 Not God.

00:51:23.640 God created the earth.

00:51:25.160 Well, that means all kinds

00:51:26.560 of different things

00:51:27.060 to different people.

00:51:29.100 What came first?

00:51:30.440 What was first cause?

00:51:32.280 What caused it to be created?

00:51:34.920 What caused that to be created?

00:51:38.460 Language is really

00:51:39.580 a very difficult thing

00:51:41.260 to navigate,

00:51:41.940 especially when you get

00:51:42.700 into religion or God.

00:51:44.560 There's many connotations

00:51:45.840 of the word religion,

00:51:47.720 and most of them

00:51:48.280 are negative now in America.

00:51:50.120 It's popular among

00:51:51.200 the young, hip,

00:51:52.640 well-connected

00:51:53.340 to shake off

00:51:54.020 the dusty title

00:51:54.920 of religious

00:51:55.520 in exchange

00:51:56.920 for the less tainted

00:51:58.100 title of spiritual.

00:52:00.340 But the word religious,

00:52:02.600 as it was meant

00:52:03.520 in the past,

00:52:04.360 may be the key

00:52:05.360 to understanding

00:52:06.100 the chaos

00:52:07.160 of our modern culture.

00:52:10.500 Although some may say

00:52:11.680 that America suffers

00:52:12.620 from a lack of religion,

00:52:14.440 I say exactly

00:52:15.920 the opposite.

00:52:17.760 America today

00:52:18.940 is hyper-religious, 0.67

00:52:21.160 and that is

00:52:22.720 our downfall.

00:52:25.380 We all have

00:52:26.200 very different experiences

00:52:27.400 with the word religion,

00:52:29.160 both positive and negative.

00:52:31.260 You have to think

00:52:32.340 of religion as a tool.

00:52:34.360 It can be used

00:52:34.980 for good,

00:52:35.740 as it has,

00:52:36.780 or it can be used

00:52:37.700 for evil,

00:52:38.940 as it also has.

00:52:41.380 Emile Durkheim,

00:52:42.540 French sociologist,

00:52:43.940 who is cited

00:52:44.720 as one of the principal

00:52:45.720 architects

00:52:46.500 of modern social science,

00:52:48.880 defined religion as,

00:52:50.820 quote,

00:52:51.640 a unified system

00:52:52.880 of beliefs

00:52:53.760 and practices

00:52:54.680 relative

00:52:55.480 to sacred things,

00:52:57.600 that is to say,

00:52:58.760 things set apart

00:53:00.020 and things forbidden.

00:53:02.760 Beliefs and practices

00:53:04.060 which unite

00:53:05.220 in one single

00:53:06.880 moral community

00:53:08.040 called church.

00:53:09.800 Now, he says church,

00:53:11.040 but he wasn't

00:53:11.540 talking about Christianity.

00:53:13.340 Church is kind of

00:53:14.040 a stand-in word

00:53:14.880 for a religious community,

00:53:16.760 which is a crucial part

00:53:19.200 of the definition

00:53:19.940 of religion itself,

00:53:21.200 a community.

00:53:22.620 There are other

00:53:23.380 definitions of religion,

00:53:24.480 but for the sake

00:53:25.160 of argument,

00:53:25.740 let's use this one.

00:53:27.720 For it to be a religion, 0.87

00:53:29.440 according to Durkheim,

00:53:31.020 it has to be

00:53:31.560 a unified system

00:53:32.500 of beliefs

00:53:33.020 and practices

00:53:33.780 relative to sacred things,

00:53:36.280 things set apart

00:53:37.100 and forbidden,

00:53:38.220 beliefs and practices

00:53:39.440 which unite.

00:53:41.120 So,

00:53:41.980 for it to be a religion,

00:53:44.000 you have to have

00:53:44.660 things that are sacred

00:53:46.080 and things that are

00:53:47.640 forbidden

00:53:48.060 and things that you do.

00:53:53.280 And both of these things

00:53:54.600 should work in conjunction

00:53:55.640 to bind a community together.

00:53:58.320 This will help you understand

00:54:00.360 the entire world today.

00:54:02.540 Now,

00:54:05.300 understand,

00:54:06.020 this is how,

00:54:06.820 even though there is

00:54:07.420 no deity

00:54:08.060 in Buddhism,

00:54:10.060 Buddhism is still 1.00

00:54:11.120 considered a religion,

00:54:12.140 just the same as Islam, 0.97

00:54:13.860 Judaism,

00:54:14.360 or Christianity.

00:54:16.160 Buddhists 1.00

00:54:16.760 practice separate

00:54:18.520 out of the

00:54:20.280 holy

00:54:21.480 from the profane.

00:54:23.000 They create rituals

00:54:24.400 based on that separation

00:54:26.060 and that unifies

00:54:27.740 a community

00:54:28.300 of followers.

00:54:29.140 believers.

00:54:30.000 Thus,

00:54:30.440 we call it

00:54:31.080 a religion.

00:54:33.540 So,

00:54:34.220 with that as the

00:54:34.800 definition of religion,

00:54:36.180 I find it hard

00:54:37.000 to believe that

00:54:37.660 most Americans

00:54:38.520 are truly

00:54:40.220 not religious.

00:54:42.480 I think we're

00:54:43.540 very religious.

00:54:45.680 It's just that

00:54:46.420 many have not

00:54:47.280 clearly identified

00:54:48.620 what their religion

00:54:49.540 really is.

00:54:51.680 If you want to

00:54:52.620 understand America

00:54:53.240 today,

00:54:53.840 instead of thinking

00:54:54.740 of our culture

00:54:55.480 as non-religious,

00:54:57.120 think of our culture

00:54:58.100 as hyper-religious,

00:55:00.720 as if religious

00:55:01.800 inclinations are

00:55:02.800 seeping into

00:55:03.780 part of our society.

00:55:05.500 In many ways,

00:55:06.280 Americans suffer 1.00

00:55:07.940 from religious

00:55:09.240 inclination

00:55:10.360 behaving like

00:55:12.500 trains off the

00:55:13.320 track.

00:55:15.180 Our culture

00:55:15.820 has

00:55:17.660 minimalized

00:55:19.300 the

00:55:19.600 traditional

00:55:20.780 religion

00:55:21.560 without

00:55:22.800 accounting for

00:55:23.900 our natural

00:55:24.800 religious

00:55:25.360 instinct.

00:55:26.280 And so,

00:55:27.700 that instinct

00:55:28.420 has to go

00:55:29.200 somewhere.

00:55:30.560 Where does it

00:55:30.980 go?

00:55:33.260 Politics is now

00:55:34.320 religion.

00:55:35.100 Race is a 0.67

00:55:35.700 religion.

00:55:36.400 Gender is a 1.00

00:55:37.280 religion.

00:55:38.480 Whether you

00:55:39.240 vax or mask

00:55:40.340 is a religion.

00:55:41.360 It's either

00:55:41.800 sacred or

00:55:42.480 profane.

00:55:43.540 Religion is 0.87

00:55:44.280 everywhere.

00:55:45.680 If you

00:55:46.200 consider every

00:55:47.240 moment,

00:55:47.900 every political

00:55:48.660 belief as a

00:55:50.200 religious struggle,

00:55:51.560 it will help you

00:55:52.580 understand why

00:55:53.980 we seem to

00:55:54.680 be behaving

00:55:55.320 so irrationally.

00:55:57.000 Why facts

00:55:57.680 no longer

00:55:58.180 seem to

00:55:58.780 matter.

00:55:59.760 Because

00:56:00.240 everything is

00:56:01.240 our religion.

00:56:03.560 Jordan

00:56:04.200 Peterson said

00:56:04.920 that ideologies

00:56:05.840 function as

00:56:06.760 crippled 1.00

00:56:07.220 religions.

00:56:08.480 They have

00:56:08.660 the same

00:56:09.080 kind of

00:56:09.600 power,

00:56:10.120 but not

00:56:10.400 the level

00:56:10.980 of symbolic

00:56:12.540 complexity.

00:56:14.140 The ideas

00:56:14.800 haven't been

00:56:15.340 tested and

00:56:16.040 refined across

00:56:16.860 time, so they

00:56:17.600 usually aren't

00:56:18.160 as good, but

00:56:19.140 they are still

00:56:19.640 very powerful.

00:56:20.680 there are

00:56:23.120 ideologies in

00:56:24.060 the United

00:56:24.380 States that

00:56:25.040 have taken a

00:56:25.740 religious place

00:56:26.840 in our

00:56:27.280 culture.

00:56:30.740 So if we

00:56:31.680 are religious,

00:56:33.400 who and

00:56:35.640 what is our

00:56:36.280 God?

00:56:40.460 God could

00:56:41.180 be money,

00:56:42.020 politics,

00:56:42.740 fame, social

00:56:43.400 justice, or

00:56:44.880 anything that

00:56:45.440 consumes your

00:56:46.280 focus.

00:56:47.220 Whatever wakes

00:56:47.980 you up in the

00:56:48.440 morning and

00:56:48.840 keeps you awake

00:56:49.460 at night,

00:56:49.880 that's likely

00:56:50.500 your God,

00:56:51.200 good or

00:56:51.520 bad.

00:56:52.780 In that

00:56:53.540 way, it

00:56:55.040 isn't that

00:56:55.520 modern America

00:56:56.640 is godless,

00:56:57.960 it's that we

00:56:58.520 don't know,

00:56:59.320 or at least

00:56:59.860 haven't named

00:57:01.080 which God

00:57:02.400 we serve.

00:57:04.160 If you

00:57:04.800 don't know

00:57:05.200 which God

00:57:05.640 you serve,

00:57:06.200 or which

00:57:06.540 religion you

00:57:07.140 follow, it

00:57:07.800 isn't because

00:57:08.360 you aren't

00:57:08.800 practicing in

00:57:10.460 that ancient

00:57:11.220 evolved human

00:57:12.260 practice, it

00:57:13.800 means you

00:57:14.580 aren't really

00:57:15.040 in control of

00:57:15.880 it, which

00:57:16.980 makes you

00:57:17.460 vulnerable to

00:57:18.260 anyone's

00:57:19.220 religion, or

00:57:20.420 anyone's

00:57:21.200 god.

00:57:24.120 Emile

00:57:24.820 Durkheim

00:57:25.320 thought religion

00:57:26.320 was eternal,

00:57:27.400 but the

00:57:28.700 form it

00:57:29.220 took could

00:57:30.000 change over

00:57:30.700 time, that

00:57:31.340 human beings' 0.92

00:57:32.060 religious instincts

00:57:33.100 may be

00:57:33.960 channeled in

00:57:34.680 wholly new

00:57:35.520 directions from

00:57:36.360 one generation

00:57:37.160 to the next.

00:57:38.220 The old gods

00:57:39.160 would die, and 0.92

00:57:40.080 the new gods

00:57:40.860 would take their

00:57:41.440 place, and

00:57:42.140 this happens

00:57:42.840 with every

00:57:44.180 human being.

00:57:45.020 reminder, this

00:57:47.760 is God, in

00:57:49.420 air quotes, God

00:57:50.820 with a lower

00:57:51.500 G, as the 0.72

00:57:53.060 object of your

00:57:54.240 worship.

00:57:55.460 You can make

00:57:56.020 any person,

00:57:57.260 place, thing,

00:57:58.140 idea a

00:57:58.940 god.

00:58:00.600 And Durkheim

00:58:01.060 noted that God

00:58:02.640 changes from

00:58:03.400 generation to

00:58:04.100 generation, or

00:58:04.920 could.

00:58:05.280 So if the

00:58:07.860 God of

00:58:08.160 Abraham, Isaac,

00:58:08.900 and Jacob

00:58:09.480 was America's 0.63

00:58:10.780 God during our

00:58:11.460 founding generation,

00:58:12.380 and for a very

00:58:13.260 long time, as

00:58:15.420 we see the

00:58:16.640 effects of

00:58:17.980 immorality, of

00:58:20.760 a lack of

00:58:21.660 common sense, of

00:58:23.300 take it on faith

00:58:24.340 and never argue

00:58:25.260 about it, or

00:58:25.980 you're punished,

00:58:26.740 who is

00:58:28.980 America's

00:58:29.600 God now?

00:58:31.860 In the

00:58:32.720 Bible, there's

00:58:33.180 a recurring

00:58:33.740 false god in

00:58:35.060 the Hebrews

00:58:36.280 neighboring

00:58:36.800 lands called

00:58:39.140 Baal.

00:58:43.280 I think he

00:58:44.380 may be

00:58:44.700 America's

00:58:45.200 God, at

00:58:46.200 least in a

00:58:46.780 conceptual

00:58:47.280 way.

00:58:52.440 You may

00:58:53.360 hear the

00:58:53.720 word

00:58:54.140 Baal.

00:58:55.520 It's

00:58:55.980 actually

00:58:56.340 pronounced

00:58:56.860 Baal.

00:58:58.040 I'll

00:58:58.400 explain in

00:58:58.880 a minute.

00:58:59.520 But it

00:59:00.140 is describing

00:59:00.920 an ancient

00:59:01.440 pagan deity.

00:59:03.200 And in

00:59:03.420 many ways,

00:59:04.120 you'd be

00:59:04.440 right if

00:59:04.800 that's what

00:59:05.140 you think,

00:59:05.580 but the

00:59:05.860 word Baal

00:59:06.880 or Baal 0.66

00:59:07.640 is not

00:59:09.540 only describing

00:59:10.200 a single

00:59:10.920 god, but

00:59:11.640 a pattern

00:59:12.300 of belief.

00:59:13.340 This is

00:59:13.660 important.

00:59:15.040 There are

00:59:15.300 multiple

00:59:15.720 documented

00:59:16.440 Baals.

00:59:17.940 It's best

00:59:18.960 to think of

00:59:19.660 Baal or 0.95

00:59:20.720 Baal as a 0.98

00:59:21.560 representation

00:59:22.080 of idolatry

00:59:23.620 with multiple

00:59:24.900 subcategories

00:59:25.980 falling

00:59:26.700 underneath it.

00:59:27.860 Idolatry

00:59:28.520 just means

00:59:29.100 worshipping the 0.91

00:59:30.100 wrong god,

00:59:31.440 or probably

00:59:32.380 a better way

00:59:32.820 of saying it

00:59:33.340 is you're

00:59:34.760 devoted to

00:59:35.400 the wrong

00:59:35.820 principles.

00:59:36.660 You're basing

00:59:37.320 your life

00:59:38.080 on a lie,

00:59:39.280 or your

00:59:40.280 priorities are

00:59:41.440 out of whack.

00:59:42.700 You're going

00:59:43.060 the wrong way,

00:59:43.880 missing the

00:59:44.220 mark, aiming

00:59:45.000 the wrong

00:59:45.520 direction.

00:59:46.520 Got it?

00:59:48.140 Baal is a

00:59:49.040 Hebrew word

00:59:50.040 that basically

00:59:51.440 means owner

00:59:52.340 or master.

00:59:53.340 I don't

00:59:53.720 know if I

00:59:54.060 can say

00:59:54.460 that.

00:59:54.680 No, it's

00:59:55.160 not a

00:59:55.460 real estate

00:59:55.900 transaction,

00:59:56.720 so I can

00:59:57.200 use the

00:59:57.700 word master

00:59:58.460 here.

00:59:59.460 It implies

01:00:00.500 exactly what

01:00:01.520 master might

01:00:02.700 mean.

01:00:03.320 In this case,

01:00:03.920 it does mean

01:00:04.680 making you

01:00:06.160 into a 0.95

01:00:06.540 slave.

01:00:07.260 It implies

01:00:08.200 complete

01:00:08.880 ownership in

01:00:09.800 a very strong

01:00:10.620 sense.

01:00:13.200 I love

01:00:14.360 the oral

01:00:15.360 tradition of

01:00:17.200 Judaism.

01:00:17.860 I love

01:00:19.040 Hebrew.

01:00:21.080 Because not

01:00:22.160 only do the

01:00:22.600 words have

01:00:23.160 meanings, but

01:00:24.000 the letters

01:00:24.640 within the

01:00:25.360 words also

01:00:26.240 have meanings,

01:00:27.280 and they

01:00:27.520 create a

01:00:28.240 word picture.

01:00:30.740 Also, very

01:00:31.620 important words

01:00:32.380 have the

01:00:33.280 opposite meaning

01:00:34.380 if you read

01:00:35.040 them backwards.

01:00:36.720 It's as if

01:00:38.600 G-O-O-D 1.00

01:00:39.940 meant good

01:00:41.120 and D-O-O-G 1.00

01:00:43.240 meant evil.

01:00:45.300 But English

01:00:46.100 is not God's

01:00:47.200 language, it's

01:00:47.940 not that

01:00:48.360 complex.

01:00:49.840 So since

01:00:50.340 the Hebrew

01:00:51.300 alphabet has

01:00:52.460 no values,

01:00:53.880 the letters

01:00:54.500 that comprise

01:00:55.460 the word

01:00:56.080 Ba'al are 1.00

01:00:58.300 consonants,

01:00:59.960 Bet and

01:01:01.460 Lamed.

01:01:05.200 We call

01:01:06.200 them B and

01:01:06.660 L.

01:01:08.960 So the

01:01:10.040 opposite of

01:01:11.040 Ba'al,

01:01:12.580 B-L,

01:01:14.180 is L-B. 0.99

01:01:15.620 which the

01:01:17.740 Hebrew word

01:01:18.640 is essentially

01:01:20.300 whole heart.

01:01:22.040 The word

01:01:22.780 Ba'al,

01:01:23.560 B-L,

01:01:24.080 means the

01:01:24.680 exact opposite.

01:01:26.520 It's the

01:01:26.960 opposite of

01:01:27.960 all heart.

01:01:29.100 It's

01:01:29.360 valueless and

01:01:31.360 nihilistic.

01:01:32.840 The word

01:01:33.420 Ba'al is 1.00

01:01:34.360 describing a

01:01:35.000 belief system

01:01:35.660 that says,

01:01:36.620 I am the

01:01:37.600 center of a

01:01:38.660 valueless

01:01:39.320 existence.

01:01:40.120 That is the

01:01:42.440 picture the

01:01:42.940 word is

01:01:43.380 painting and

01:01:44.860 the mental

01:01:45.220 framework or

01:01:45.920 belief system

01:01:46.760 that is being

01:01:47.700 baked into

01:01:48.380 our culture.

01:01:50.380 I am the

01:01:51.600 center of a

01:01:52.740 valueless

01:01:53.460 existence.

01:01:54.660 Does that

01:01:55.000 not describe

01:01:55.720 America?

01:01:57.680 Our modern

01:01:58.580 pitfall is

01:01:59.440 believing or

01:02:00.380 acting as if

01:02:01.140 we believe that

01:02:02.040 each of us is

01:02:03.000 the God of

01:02:03.820 the world

01:02:04.200 without meaning.

01:02:05.300 A world where

01:02:05.960 there is no

01:02:06.580 truth beyond

01:02:07.360 our own

01:02:08.300 personal

01:02:09.000 experiences.

01:02:10.820 A world

01:02:11.300 without real

01:02:12.060 value outside

01:02:13.040 where each

01:02:14.100 of us

01:02:14.640 personally

01:02:15.880 assign that

01:02:16.780 value.

01:02:17.640 Each of us

01:02:18.400 is encouraged

01:02:18.960 to be the

01:02:19.560 God of a

01:02:20.840 meaningless

01:02:21.280 reality.

01:02:23.240 We are

01:02:24.160 increasingly

01:02:24.900 embracing a

01:02:25.860 subjective

01:02:26.400 understanding of

01:02:27.220 truth and

01:02:27.780 goodness and

01:02:28.400 beauty.

01:02:29.180 We are at

01:02:29.660 war with

01:02:30.340 each other

01:02:30.820 like the

01:02:31.700 gods of

01:02:32.300 ancient

01:02:32.720 myths.

01:02:33.860 We

01:02:34.220 determine

01:02:34.800 the value

01:02:35.480 of beliefs

01:02:36.060 by force

01:02:36.880 and coercion 0.97

01:02:37.880 because we

01:02:38.820 believe there

01:02:39.680 is no

01:02:40.200 objective

01:02:40.680 truth,

01:02:41.320 no real

01:02:42.100 beauty,

01:02:42.660 no goodness.

01:02:43.500 Our values

01:02:44.180 are determined

01:02:44.820 by a court

01:02:45.440 of public

01:02:45.920 opinion rather

01:02:47.160 than given

01:02:47.720 to us by

01:02:48.380 God or

01:02:49.000 even inherited

01:02:49.980 from the

01:02:50.900 wisdom of

01:02:51.380 the past.

01:02:53.080 The court

01:02:53.840 of public

01:02:54.240 opinion is

01:02:54.940 an unbridled

01:02:55.760 and emotionally

01:02:56.420 volatile

01:02:57.000 democracy.

01:02:58.620 It doesn't

01:02:59.220 matter what

01:02:59.680 the facts

01:03:00.180 of a case

01:03:00.700 are.

01:03:01.340 Truth is

01:03:01.800 not the

01:03:02.320 point.

01:03:02.960 Truth is

01:03:03.360 subjective,

01:03:04.700 thus dead.

01:03:05.420 But my

01:03:06.260 truth is

01:03:07.580 worth defending

01:03:08.240 to the

01:03:08.600 death.

01:03:09.960 And that's

01:03:10.260 why misgendering

01:03:11.200 someone is

01:03:11.960 described now

01:03:12.620 as violence

01:03:13.460 because it's

01:03:14.140 an attack

01:03:14.760 on the

01:03:15.500 only real

01:03:16.360 meaning left

01:03:17.160 in the

01:03:17.460 world,

01:03:17.860 which,

01:03:18.320 according to

01:03:18.800 our culture

01:03:19.280 now,

01:03:19.760 is what I

01:03:20.640 decide is

01:03:21.860 meaningful.

01:03:24.140 This is

01:03:24.960 how the

01:03:25.480 spirit of

01:03:26.180 idolatry,

01:03:27.200 the spirit

01:03:27.700 of Baal,

01:03:28.840 is manifesting

01:03:30.060 today.

01:03:30.780 this new

01:03:32.880 way we

01:03:34.140 look at

01:03:34.860 the world

01:03:35.220 is spiritual.

01:03:36.240 It is not

01:03:36.660 material.

01:03:37.420 It is

01:03:38.000 religious or

01:03:39.480 it is

01:03:40.100 insanity.

01:03:42.440 When someone

01:03:43.360 is driving

01:03:43.900 alone in

01:03:44.360 their car

01:03:44.680 with a

01:03:45.060 mask on,

01:03:46.760 that's not

01:03:47.320 a decision

01:03:47.860 based on

01:03:48.440 logic.

01:03:49.180 That's

01:03:49.380 based on

01:03:50.840 faith and

01:03:51.820 following your

01:03:52.740 spiritual

01:03:53.320 leaders.

01:03:54.200 When a

01:03:54.600 man declares

01:03:55.180 himself a

01:03:55.940 woman and

01:03:56.680 the culture

01:03:57.100 clamors to

01:03:57.840 affirm him,

01:03:58.680 that's not

01:03:59.320 science.

01:04:00.040 there is no

01:04:00.920 material

01:04:01.420 justification.

01:04:02.000 It is

01:04:02.680 based on

01:04:03.320 faith of

01:04:04.420 a new

01:04:04.680 religion.

01:04:05.680 When it's

01:04:06.600 widely accepted

01:04:07.580 and repeated

01:04:08.240 that racism

01:04:09.020 is the

01:04:09.640 connective

01:04:10.200 tissue of

01:04:10.900 modern

01:04:11.620 American

01:04:12.120 society,

01:04:12.920 without

01:04:13.340 requiring

01:04:14.100 the facts

01:04:14.840 to back

01:04:15.420 this claim

01:04:16.100 up,

01:04:16.900 then what

01:04:18.600 we are

01:04:18.960 dealing with

01:04:19.580 is a

01:04:20.060 strongly held

01:04:20.880 system of

01:04:22.320 beliefs.

01:04:24.980 A

01:04:25.680 religion.

01:04:26.200 when the

01:04:30.900 abortion

01:04:31.220 debate no

01:04:32.040 longer

01:04:32.380 centers on

01:04:33.060 the

01:04:33.200 question,

01:04:34.220 is the

01:04:35.520 baby

01:04:35.820 alive,

01:04:38.140 but instead

01:04:39.400 degrades into 0.91

01:04:40.360 a discussion

01:04:40.880 of the

01:04:41.200 relative value

01:04:42.540 of that

01:04:43.340 baby's

01:04:43.840 life,

01:04:44.420 in comparison

01:04:45.940 to the

01:04:46.680 burden of

01:04:47.540 the mother,

01:04:48.360 then we

01:04:48.800 know our

01:04:49.400 culture has

01:04:50.080 given itself

01:04:50.980 over to

01:04:51.780 valueless, 0.98

01:04:53.460 godless

01:04:53.920 understanding

01:04:54.640 of the

01:04:55.140 world.

01:04:56.440 Or worse,

01:04:57.600 we see

01:04:58.320 ourselves

01:04:59.000 as god.

01:05:02.380 The

01:05:03.140 battle of

01:05:03.660 our time

01:05:04.260 is

01:05:05.880 spiritual.

01:05:07.940 It's not

01:05:08.960 material.

01:05:10.220 It is a

01:05:11.860 battle of

01:05:12.620 belief.

01:05:14.460 When you

01:05:15.240 start

01:05:15.680 understanding

01:05:16.480 that woke

01:05:17.340 ism is

01:05:18.620 a religion,

01:05:20.260 not a

01:05:22.140 political

01:05:23.560 philosophy

01:05:24.480 a religion

01:05:25.520 that will

01:05:27.520 punish all

01:05:28.260 those that 0.70

01:05:29.960 don't

01:05:30.340 believe,

01:05:31.980 you will

01:05:32.400 understand we

01:05:33.060 are being

01:05:33.400 dragged back

01:05:34.180 to the

01:05:34.500 dark ages.

01:05:36.040 And as we

01:05:36.400 devolve into

01:05:37.040 a culture that

01:05:37.720 accepts each

01:05:38.520 of us as

01:05:40.180 a kind of

01:05:40.820 demigod of

01:05:41.760 our own

01:05:42.240 reality,

01:05:43.660 how could

01:05:44.520 the entire

01:05:45.000 foundation of

01:05:45.660 our nation

01:05:46.720 not fracture

01:05:47.980 at the

01:05:48.360 seams?

01:05:50.500 Society is

01:05:51.360 fracturing over

01:05:52.020 the most central

01:05:52.700 problem.

01:05:53.180 who do we

01:05:54.100 serve?

01:05:56.080 And tomorrow

01:05:56.840 I explore

01:05:58.600 what and

01:06:00.640 who I

01:06:01.200 believe America's 0.69

01:06:02.160 god has

01:06:02.700 become.

01:06:03.500 The cult

01:06:04.340 of woke

01:06:05.100 ism.

01:06:06.060 Tomorrow.

01:06:08.100 So we've

01:06:09.000 gone over

01:06:09.740 the fact that

01:06:10.980 America suffers

01:06:11.940 from a lack

01:06:13.720 of religion

01:06:14.260 or is it

01:06:15.040 hyper

01:06:17.040 religious

01:06:17.500 religiosity.

01:06:21.100 We have

01:06:21.920 too much

01:06:22.460 religion.

01:06:23.940 That's what

01:06:24.320 we're suffering

01:06:24.820 for.

01:06:26.140 Because

01:06:26.520 politics

01:06:27.620 is a

01:06:28.540 religion.

01:06:29.380 Race

01:06:29.940 is a

01:06:30.560 religion.

01:06:31.400 Gender

01:06:31.720 today is a

01:06:32.660 religion.

01:06:33.280 Even

01:06:33.560 COVID.

01:06:35.020 It's a

01:06:35.780 religion.

01:06:37.260 And the

01:06:37.620 mask,

01:06:38.320 that's just

01:06:38.820 a symbol

01:06:39.360 of your

01:06:39.760 membership

01:06:40.380 to that

01:06:41.240 faith

01:06:41.640 and your

01:06:42.960 piety.

01:06:43.460 Did you

01:06:45.500 ask the

01:06:45.920 wrong

01:06:46.120 question?

01:06:47.560 Did you

01:06:48.140 question what

01:06:48.760 happened to

01:06:49.400 the BLM

01:06:50.680 Inc.

01:06:51.480 millions?

01:06:52.880 You didn't

01:06:54.040 actually suggest

01:06:55.000 that the

01:06:55.320 Hunter Biden

01:06:56.200 laptop was

01:06:57.160 worth looking

01:06:57.760 into,

01:06:58.340 did you?

01:06:59.880 Did you

01:07:00.780 not blindly

01:07:01.520 accept the

01:07:02.420 new normal?

01:07:03.280 if you

01:07:06.220 don't

01:07:06.480 mask,

01:07:07.400 post the

01:07:08.160 BLM 1.00

01:07:08.820 black box,

01:07:10.580 vote for

01:07:11.000 the right

01:07:11.260 politician or

01:07:12.040 worse,

01:07:13.080 you didn't

01:07:14.100 use the

01:07:14.520 new correct

01:07:15.160 woke

01:07:15.820 religious

01:07:16.460 terminology

01:07:17.180 that seemingly

01:07:18.320 was just

01:07:19.000 introduced

01:07:19.420 yesterday,

01:07:20.700 you'll find

01:07:21.680 yourself without

01:07:22.420 a job or

01:07:23.580 a future.

01:07:25.620 Did you

01:07:26.500 grumble?

01:07:27.020 Did I hear you

01:07:27.560 grumble when

01:07:28.280 told you had

01:07:29.760 to attend the

01:07:30.320 company's

01:07:30.740 latest race

01:07:32.020 equity training

01:07:33.140 meeting?

01:07:34.760 Did you

01:07:35.600 speak out at

01:07:36.360 the school

01:07:36.700 board meeting

01:07:37.240 against CRT

01:07:38.860 or any of

01:07:39.720 its spawn?

01:07:42.360 Have you

01:07:43.220 not yet

01:07:43.920 confessed your

01:07:44.880 whiteness,

01:07:46.240 your privilege,

01:07:48.020 or the sins

01:07:49.000 of your race?

01:07:52.160 This new

01:07:53.040 religion offers

01:07:53.900 no forgiveness.

01:07:55.820 We are

01:07:56.160 living in

01:07:57.520 the age of

01:07:58.140 a new

01:07:58.620 inquisition,

01:08:00.320 mob

01:08:00.780 trials,

01:08:02.040 they're mock

01:08:02.620 trials,

01:08:03.140 really run

01:08:03.760 by the

01:08:04.140 mob.

01:08:05.080 There are

01:08:05.520 no real

01:08:05.940 hearings.

01:08:07.380 It's not

01:08:07.940 an actual

01:08:08.460 trial,

01:08:09.340 just mobs

01:08:10.560 shrieking

01:08:11.360 witch.

01:08:13.040 And if

01:08:13.700 they don't

01:08:14.020 burn your

01:08:14.820 life at 1.00

01:08:15.260 the stake,

01:08:16.500 you will

01:08:17.140 most certainly

01:08:17.840 be banished

01:08:18.680 to the new

01:08:19.260 leper colony

01:08:20.140 through the

01:08:21.480 process of

01:08:22.080 being

01:08:22.340 deplatformed,

01:08:24.460 defriended,

01:08:26.380 defamilied.

01:08:27.260 some of

01:08:29.960 what is

01:08:30.440 happening in

01:08:30.900 our nation

01:08:31.360 is way

01:08:32.500 beyond our

01:08:33.060 idea of

01:08:33.920 religion.

01:08:35.260 However,

01:08:35.820 if you look

01:08:36.440 at the

01:08:36.740 facts,

01:08:37.240 what half

01:08:37.900 the country

01:08:38.440 has joined

01:08:39.220 is a

01:08:40.220 religion.

01:08:40.580 It has its

01:08:41.560 own doctrine,

01:08:42.500 its own

01:08:42.920 practices,

01:08:44.200 its own

01:08:44.880 language,

01:08:45.680 and high

01:08:46.040 priests.

01:08:47.500 Yet this

01:08:48.360 religion

01:08:49.100 that's

01:08:51.260 whipping our

01:08:51.920 nation into

01:08:52.480 a frenzy

01:08:53.200 really

01:08:56.080 fits our

01:08:57.200 modern

01:08:57.500 understanding

01:08:58.020 of a

01:08:58.540 cult.

01:09:02.080 If you

01:09:02.800 do forensics

01:09:03.480 on it,

01:09:04.400 it is the

01:09:05.340 definition of

01:09:05.960 a cult.

01:09:07.120 If we

01:09:07.900 fail to

01:09:08.500 grasp this,

01:09:09.360 our families

01:09:10.020 and our

01:09:10.460 friends who

01:09:11.020 find themselves

01:09:12.000 under the

01:09:12.720 spell of

01:09:13.260 this cult

01:09:13.900 right now

01:09:14.660 will only

01:09:16.080 run deeper

01:09:16.900 into their

01:09:17.500 arms.

01:09:17.920 Once you

01:09:19.200 understand

01:09:19.840 you're

01:09:20.360 dealing

01:09:20.660 with a

01:09:21.100 cult,

01:09:21.840 it requires

01:09:23.360 us to

01:09:24.240 change our

01:09:25.000 behavior or

01:09:26.580 it will

01:09:26.880 only help

01:09:27.780 the cult

01:09:28.760 leaders.

01:09:30.260 We have

01:09:31.020 to understand

01:09:31.660 what a

01:09:31.980 cult is in

01:09:32.800 order to

01:09:33.220 find the

01:09:33.620 way to

01:09:33.980 free our

01:09:35.160 loved ones

01:09:35.880 from its

01:09:36.320 deadly grip.

01:09:39.280 The

01:09:39.840 difference

01:09:40.240 between a

01:09:40.620 cult and

01:09:40.980 a religion

01:09:41.340 is pretty

01:09:41.800 unsettled.

01:09:42.480 The word

01:09:42.800 cult is

01:09:44.600 usually

01:09:44.940 associated

01:09:45.500 with a

01:09:45.980 niche

01:09:46.220 group of

01:09:46.700 freaky

01:09:47.000 people who

01:09:47.680 follow some

01:09:48.540 charismatic

01:09:49.000 man into 0.94

01:09:49.800 a bunker

01:09:50.260 and end

01:09:50.920 up sacrificing

01:09:51.660 babies or

01:09:52.300 whatever.

01:09:53.160 But when I

01:09:53.760 first joined

01:09:54.240 my church,

01:09:55.140 I talked

01:09:56.160 to Billy

01:09:56.780 Graham about

01:09:57.340 this.

01:09:58.760 He thought

01:09:59.760 it was a

01:10:00.100 cult for

01:10:00.420 years.

01:10:00.940 It was

01:10:01.240 a cult.

01:10:02.160 All

01:10:02.600 really a

01:10:03.440 cult is

01:10:03.900 is something

01:10:04.860 that disagrees

01:10:06.060 with the

01:10:07.700 accepted

01:10:08.460 norm.

01:10:09.620 That's the

01:10:10.100 way it

01:10:10.380 used to be

01:10:10.860 defined.

01:10:11.880 And yeah,

01:10:12.600 then my

01:10:13.100 church, I

01:10:13.460 guess,

01:10:13.680 would be

01:10:14.000 that.

01:10:14.280 But that's

01:10:14.740 not a

01:10:15.120 freaky,

01:10:16.120 follow some

01:10:16.560 guy into

01:10:17.080 the woods

01:10:17.640 and build

01:10:19.520 an outpost.

01:10:20.400 That's

01:10:20.800 Billy understood

01:10:25.180 that and

01:10:25.800 my faith is

01:10:28.100 no longer on

01:10:28.740 his list of

01:10:29.360 cults.

01:10:30.840 Before he

01:10:31.540 died, he

01:10:31.980 removed it.

01:10:32.920 Now,

01:10:34.860 a cult

01:10:35.220 could just

01:10:35.900 be smaller,

01:10:36.960 newer, less

01:10:37.580 organized religion,

01:10:38.540 but that's not

01:10:39.100 what we're

01:10:39.300 talking about

01:10:39.980 here.

01:10:41.220 There was a

01:10:41.940 write-up about

01:10:42.420 me in Newsweek

01:10:43.100 this week

01:10:43.580 saying that

01:10:44.260 wokeness is

01:10:45.440 a cult,

01:10:45.980 which is

01:10:46.240 right, and

01:10:46.740 I'm not

01:10:47.020 the first

01:10:47.400 person to

01:10:47.860 say it.

01:10:49.020 Africa

01:10:49.460 Brooks, she's

01:10:51.240 the first

01:10:51.600 one that I

01:10:52.120 saw that

01:10:52.560 had this

01:10:53.360 in an

01:10:53.680 open letter

01:10:54.360 titled

01:10:54.820 Why I'm

01:10:55.820 Leaving the

01:10:56.520 Cult of

01:10:57.280 Wokeness.

01:10:58.460 In it, she

01:10:59.160 said, what

01:11:00.260 I'm truly

01:11:00.800 afraid of is

01:11:02.060 existing in a

01:11:02.840 world that

01:11:03.240 forces me to

01:11:04.480 submit to

01:11:05.620 an ideology

01:11:06.480 without

01:11:07.180 question.

01:11:09.020 Otherwise, I'm

01:11:10.220 to be shamed

01:11:11.100 or pressured

01:11:12.140 to shame

01:11:12.760 myself and

01:11:14.240 cast out of

01:11:15.220 the community.

01:11:16.580 A world that

01:11:17.420 tells me that

01:11:18.620 because I

01:11:19.580 inhabit a 0.62

01:11:20.280 black body, I 1.00

01:11:21.780 will forever 0.99

01:11:22.580 be oppressed

01:11:23.640 and at the

01:11:24.520 mercy of some

01:11:25.360 omnipresent

01:11:26.140 monster called 1.00

01:11:27.260 whiteness. 0.99

01:11:29.600 That is because

01:11:30.780 of the color of

01:11:31.640 my skin, I'm a

01:11:32.860 victim of an

01:11:34.340 inherently racist

01:11:35.340 system by

01:11:36.060 default.

01:11:38.080 And me

01:11:38.920 rejecting the

01:11:39.640 narrative of

01:11:40.240 oppression,

01:11:40.660 means that I

01:11:41.660 am in fact

01:11:42.420 in denial.

01:11:43.340 How empowering.

01:11:45.500 The dread of

01:11:46.580 the prospect of

01:11:47.380 a world where

01:11:48.040 context, nuance,

01:11:50.860 critical thinking,

01:11:52.160 meritocracy,

01:11:53.160 mathematics,

01:11:53.900 science,

01:11:54.740 rationality, are

01:11:56.500 just considered

01:11:57.360 tools of white

01:11:58.520 supremacy.

01:11:59.780 And the rule

01:12:00.540 is that you're

01:12:01.240 not allowed to

01:12:01.880 question or

01:12:02.460 argue this

01:12:03.320 senseless

01:12:03.840 statement,

01:12:04.940 especially if

01:12:05.700 you're white. 0.89

01:12:07.080 A world that is 0.96

01:12:08.260 conditioning you

01:12:09.280 and I to

01:12:10.200 believe that we

01:12:10.940 will always be

01:12:11.840 trapped in some

01:12:12.620 weird hierarchy

01:12:13.700 because of our

01:12:14.860 race, our

01:12:15.500 genitals, our

01:12:16.440 physical abilities,

01:12:18.020 our neurodiversity

01:12:19.680 or sexuality and

01:12:21.060 our politics.

01:12:22.600 And that if we

01:12:23.720 don't agree on

01:12:24.800 every single

01:12:26.040 thing, it's a

01:12:27.140 sign that we

01:12:28.300 are interacting

01:12:28.980 with an enemy or

01:12:30.060 at very least

01:12:30.800 someone to be

01:12:31.480 wildly suspicious

01:12:32.720 and judgmental

01:12:33.940 of instead of

01:12:35.300 another complex

01:12:36.320 human being

01:12:36.940 worthy of being

01:12:37.760 seen and

01:12:38.300 heard.

01:12:39.300 This absolutist

01:12:40.800 authoritarian world

01:12:42.140 is being fiercely

01:12:43.440 crafted under the

01:12:44.540 guise of social

01:12:45.460 justice and I

01:12:46.640 want no part

01:12:47.900 in this.

01:12:49.220 When someone

01:12:50.100 steps out of

01:12:50.740 line or dares

01:12:51.340 to think

01:12:51.740 differently,

01:12:52.780 you will often

01:12:53.620 have the pleasure

01:12:54.400 of being told

01:12:55.180 that you are in

01:12:56.120 denial and you

01:12:57.340 have some kind

01:12:58.120 of internalized

01:12:59.280 disorder,

01:13:00.900 internalized

01:13:01.760 racism,

01:13:02.880 internalized

01:13:03.540 anti-blackness,

01:13:04.660 internalized

01:13:05.260 misogyny,

01:13:06.480 internalized

01:13:07.180 sexism,

01:13:08.360 internalized

01:13:09.140 homophobia,

01:13:10.360 internalized

01:13:10.980 transphobia,

01:13:12.080 internalized 0.75

01:13:12.760 white supremacy.

01:13:14.260 That means

01:13:15.520 nothing can be

01:13:16.740 questioned.

01:13:18.480 It's becoming

01:13:19.520 dangerous and

01:13:20.660 to address

01:13:22.240 reality

01:13:23.100 is even

01:13:25.340 more so

01:13:25.940 because you

01:13:28.160 either agree

01:13:28.840 and comply

01:13:30.100 or shut 1.00

01:13:32.040 up. 1.00

01:13:32.300 it's

01:13:34.340 exhausting,

01:13:35.300 she writes,

01:13:35.860 and honestly,

01:13:36.760 I have better

01:13:37.180 things to do

01:13:37.740 with my time,

01:13:38.500 not to mention

01:13:39.220 it's killing

01:13:39.980 us.

01:13:41.320 Well,

01:13:41.920 she is right.

01:13:43.360 It is

01:13:44.140 killing us.

01:13:46.340 So, 0.99

01:13:47.040 how do we

01:13:47.680 get out?

01:13:49.500 Well,

01:13:50.060 I'll get there,

01:13:50.780 but I first

01:13:51.720 want to make

01:13:52.500 sure you

01:13:52.980 understand what

01:13:53.980 a cult

01:13:54.580 is.

01:13:56.920 How do

01:13:57.580 experts

01:13:58.240 know what

01:13:59.520 a cult is

01:14:00.140 because you're

01:14:01.200 not going

01:14:01.600 to be able

01:14:02.080 to fight

01:14:03.240 against this

01:14:04.000 cult if

01:14:05.300 you don't

01:14:05.960 understand what

01:14:06.960 it is.

01:14:07.420 We go there

01:14:08.000 in 60 seconds.

01:14:13.280 America's

01:14:13.960 cults.

01:14:15.820 COVID-19

01:14:16.960 broke us.

01:14:18.800 People who

01:14:19.220 were once

01:14:19.820 reasonable

01:14:20.520 began to

01:14:21.420 call for

01:14:21.860 the banishment

01:14:22.680 of the

01:14:23.320 unvaccinated

01:14:24.340 from civil

01:14:25.000 society.

01:14:26.400 Death

01:14:26.780 was divided

01:14:27.620 by vaccine

01:14:28.620 status and

01:14:29.620 treated

01:14:30.180 accordingly.

01:14:31.600 Information

01:14:31.960 was censored

01:14:33.020 for our

01:14:33.540 own good.

01:14:34.540 Anyone

01:14:34.800 who questioned

01:14:35.660 the leader

01:14:36.380 or fell

01:14:37.000 out of line

01:14:37.640 was deemed

01:14:38.280 as dangerous

01:14:39.220 or literally

01:14:40.500 accused of

01:14:41.640 murder.

01:14:43.320 Stephen

01:14:43.580 Hassan

01:14:44.080 developed

01:14:44.960 the

01:14:46.040 model,

01:14:46.600 B-I-T-E 0.99

01:14:47.880 model,

01:14:48.620 among other

01:14:49.100 things,

01:14:49.980 studying the

01:14:50.860 brainwashing

01:14:51.980 in Maoist

01:14:52.880 China.

01:14:54.360 BITE

01:14:54.840 stands for

01:14:57.700 Thought and

01:14:59.460 Emotional

01:15:00.080 Control.

01:15:01.540 It identifies

01:15:02.400 the patterns

01:15:03.400 used by

01:15:04.340 cults to

01:15:05.480 manipulate

01:15:06.160 their members.

01:15:08.420 There are

01:15:08.920 50 attributes

01:15:10.340 to watch out

01:15:11.160 for.

01:15:12.820 Listen to

01:15:13.640 some of

01:15:14.060 these and

01:15:14.740 compare them

01:15:15.480 to your

01:15:15.860 experience just

01:15:17.280 during the

01:15:17.920 COVID-19

01:15:18.880 pandemic,

01:15:20.280 let alone

01:15:20.920 everything else

01:15:21.680 that is

01:15:22.000 happening.

01:15:23.380 Here they

01:15:24.280 are,

01:15:25.420 the 50

01:15:26.060 attributes.

01:15:27.700 for a

01:15:28.980 cult.

01:15:30.500 They

01:15:30.980 dictate

01:15:31.640 where,

01:15:32.440 how,

01:15:32.900 and with

01:15:33.420 whom the

01:15:34.060 member lives

01:15:34.820 and associates

01:15:35.620 or isolates.

01:15:37.820 Financial

01:15:38.540 exploitation,

01:15:39.800 manipulation,

01:15:40.600 or dependence.

01:15:42.420 They

01:15:42.860 restrict

01:15:43.400 leisure,

01:15:44.200 entertainment,

01:15:44.980 vacation

01:15:45.420 time.

01:15:48.480 I'm thinking

01:15:49.620 of all the

01:15:50.180 Fauci talks.

01:15:51.560 Permission

01:15:52.280 required for

01:15:53.200 major decisions,

01:15:54.960 rewards,

01:15:55.440 and punishments

01:15:56.380 used to

01:15:56.960 modify

01:15:57.320 behaviors,

01:15:58.120 both positive

01:15:58.780 and negative.

01:16:00.340 Discourage

01:16:00.960 individualism,

01:16:02.880 groupthink,

01:16:04.620 impose rigid

01:16:05.700 rules and

01:16:06.500 regulations,

01:16:08.020 instill

01:16:08.560 dependency

01:16:09.460 and obedience,

01:16:12.680 deliberately

01:16:13.220 withhold

01:16:14.180 information,

01:16:16.160 distort

01:16:16.640 information to

01:16:17.580 make it

01:16:17.860 more acceptable,

01:19:32.680 enemies and

01:19:33.640 then they

01:19:33.940 left the

01:19:34.720 cult.

01:19:36.980 Shunning of

01:19:37.860 those who

01:19:38.380 leave, fear

01:19:39.740 of being rejected

01:19:40.640 by friends

01:19:41.360 and family.

01:19:43.020 Ritualistic

01:19:43.660 and sometimes

01:19:44.500 public confession

01:19:45.780 of sins.

01:19:47.420 Let me say

01:19:48.060 that one again.

01:19:49.660 Ritualistic

01:19:50.380 and sometimes

01:19:51.240 public confession

01:19:52.520 of sins.

01:19:55.060 Phobia

01:19:55.780 indoctrination.

01:19:59.020 Inculcating

01:19:59.800 irrational fears

01:20:01.240 about leaving

01:20:02.220 the group

01:20:02.780 or questioning

01:20:03.900 the leader's

01:20:04.600 authority.

01:20:05.100 How many

01:20:07.760 friends do

01:20:08.120 you have

01:20:08.440 that are

01:20:08.700 that way?

01:20:10.440 No

01:20:10.720 happiness or

01:20:11.500 fulfillment

01:20:11.920 possible outside

01:20:13.420 of this group.

01:20:15.500 Terrible

01:20:15.780 consequences if

01:20:16.780 you leave 1.00

01:20:17.300 hell, demon 0.99

01:20:18.300 possession,

01:20:19.120 incurable

01:20:19.600 diseases,

01:20:20.400 accidents,

01:20:21.000 suicide, 0.90

01:20:21.600 insanity,

01:20:22.860 10,000

01:20:23.480 reincarnations,

01:20:24.600 etc.

01:20:25.860 So that's

01:20:26.800 basically all

01:20:27.680 of them except

01:20:28.160 for rape,

01:20:28.760 murder, 0.95

01:20:29.120 torture,

01:20:29.360 and kidnapping.

01:20:30.060 And I

01:20:31.480 don't I

01:20:32.580 don't think

01:20:33.600 we have

01:20:34.120 that going

01:20:34.700 on.

01:20:38.440 What's

01:20:39.040 scarier

01:20:39.580 is that

01:20:41.040 most of

01:20:41.720 us have

01:20:42.800 gone along

01:20:43.400 with all

01:20:43.780 of this

01:20:44.100 stuff.

01:20:44.780 Even for

01:20:45.640 just a

01:20:46.020 little while

01:20:46.600 as a

01:20:47.400 nation,

01:20:47.760 as a

01:20:47.960 world,

01:20:48.340 we're still

01:20:49.260 going along

01:20:49.960 with it

01:20:50.280 in many

01:20:50.760 ways and

01:20:51.420 we haven't

01:20:52.180 yet come

01:20:53.360 to the

01:20:53.740 truth that

01:20:54.640 this is

01:20:55.460 a cult.

01:20:56.860 Look at

01:20:57.600 anti-racism.

01:20:59.140 Anti-racism

01:21:00.040 requires blind

01:21:01.240 obedience to

01:21:02.100 leaders like

01:21:02.780 Ibram X.

01:21:03.540 Kendi,

01:21:04.360 who can

01:21:04.720 arbitrarily

01:21:05.580 assign or

01:21:06.520 remove guilt

01:21:07.360 based on

01:21:08.240 his own

01:21:08.820 perception.

01:21:10.380 The work

01:21:10.800 of being

01:21:11.120 an anti-racist

01:21:12.120 never stops.

01:21:13.940 There's

01:21:14.120 always more

01:21:15.240 internalized

01:21:15.980 racism to

01:21:16.640 uncover and

01:21:17.840 implicit bias

01:21:18.780 to reveal.

01:21:20.540 Can you

01:21:20.820 ever be

01:21:21.160 forgiven?

01:21:21.620 Can you

01:21:21.800 ever be

01:21:22.160 cleansed?

01:21:22.940 No.

01:21:23.860 Because the

01:21:24.400 moment you

01:21:24.760 say you're

01:21:25.100 not a

01:21:25.720 racist, 0.77

01:21:26.380 it's taken

01:21:27.200 as a

01:21:27.520 proclamation

01:21:28.020 of guilt.

01:21:29.200 And then

01:21:29.620 the cycle

01:21:30.140 can just

01:21:30.800 begin

01:21:31.360 again.

01:21:33.280 It's

01:21:33.520 cult

01:21:33.820 initiation

01:21:34.480 101.

01:21:36.980 It's

01:21:37.720 reprogramming.

01:21:39.680 And it's

01:21:40.620 really hard

01:21:41.580 to come

01:21:42.080 back from

01:21:42.660 it.

01:21:43.600 But it

01:21:44.280 can be

01:21:44.820 done.

01:21:45.200 So how

01:21:53.080 do you

01:21:53.720 disempower

01:21:55.860 a cult?

01:21:59.120 Well,

01:21:59.900 there is

01:22:01.160 actually a

01:22:01.760 couple of

01:22:02.260 really great

01:22:03.180 examples.

01:22:04.660 Let me

01:22:05.060 tell you

01:22:05.300 one.

01:22:06.160 Megan

01:22:06.560 Phelps

01:22:07.020 Roper.

01:22:07.740 She was

01:22:08.020 only five

01:22:08.540 years old

01:22:08.980 when she

01:22:09.320 stood on

01:22:09.740 her first

01:22:10.220 picket line

01:22:10.980 in Kansas

01:22:11.600 and she

01:22:12.060 had a

01:22:12.480 sign that

01:22:13.100 read, 0.90

01:22:13.460 gays 0.97

01:22:14.680 are 0.55

01:22:15.040 worthy

01:22:15.420 of 0.94

01:22:15.880 death.

01:22:17.500 Now,

01:22:18.120 she's five.

01:22:18.720 She has

01:22:19.000 no idea

01:22:19.420 what it

01:22:19.740 said,

01:22:20.540 nonetheless

01:22:20.880 what it

01:22:21.480 meant,

01:22:22.140 but her

01:22:22.780 mother had

01:22:23.420 brought her

01:22:23.860 there and

01:22:24.460 handed her

01:22:25.140 that sign,

01:22:25.860 so she

01:22:26.220 waved it

01:22:26.760 around

01:22:27.000 happily.

01:22:28.120 She's

01:22:28.380 making her 0.74

01:22:28.920 family proud

01:22:29.780 and at

01:22:30.160 five years

01:22:30.780 old,

01:22:31.260 that's

01:22:31.520 better than

01:22:31.920 candy.

01:22:32.580 Well,

01:22:32.860 almost.

01:22:34.860 Megan

01:22:35.160 is the

01:22:35.680 granddaughter

01:22:36.040 of the

01:22:36.680 founder of

01:22:37.500 the Westboro

01:22:38.120 Baptist

01:22:38.580 Church.

01:22:39.400 Do you

01:22:39.520 remember

01:22:39.780 them?

01:22:41.080 They

01:22:41.480 are the

01:22:42.360 responsible

01:22:44.220 party for

01:22:45.360 horrific

01:22:46.200 statements

01:22:46.800 like,

01:22:47.940 Jews 1.00

01:22:48.280 killed 1.00

01:22:48.660 the 0.97

01:22:48.860 Lord

01:22:49.080 Jesus.

01:22:50.200 Now,

01:22:50.760 the Jews

01:22:51.180 are carrying

01:22:51.700 water for

01:22:52.480 the F

01:22:53.480 word slur

01:22:54.160 against 0.99

01:22:54.480 homosexuals. 0.99

01:22:55.540 That's 0.99

01:22:56.100 what they

01:22:56.360 do best,

01:22:57.440 sin.

01:22:58.480 Or,

01:22:59.040 this super

01:22:59.460 super classic,

01:23:00.460 America,

01:23:01.400 land of

01:23:01.960 the sodomite 0.98

01:23:02.800 damned. 0.99

01:23:03.500 well, 1.00

01:23:06.420 if you

01:23:07.100 are,

01:23:07.740 if you

01:23:09.220 were aware

01:23:09.740 of the

01:23:10.140 news,

01:23:10.900 you know,

01:23:11.400 in the

01:23:11.680 early

01:23:12.020 2000s,

01:23:13.140 you

01:23:14.040 remember

01:23:14.680 the

01:23:14.860 Westboro

01:23:15.240 Baptist

01:23:15.620 Church.

01:23:16.080 They

01:23:16.680 have

01:23:16.960 become

01:23:17.380 infamous

01:23:17.920 for their

01:23:18.520 lack

01:23:18.940 of

01:23:19.120 humanity.

01:23:20.580 They

01:23:20.640 used to

01:23:20.980 protest

01:23:21.380 military

01:23:21.980 funerals,

01:23:22.980 wish 0.98

01:23:23.160 death 0.99

01:23:23.620 upon

01:23:23.960 others,

01:23:24.600 and all

01:23:25.420 because

01:23:25.720 they

01:23:25.960 are so

01:23:26.680 convinced

01:23:27.380 that their

01:23:27.980 crusade

01:23:28.480 is holy

01:23:29.020 that they

01:23:30.000 feel

01:23:30.400 empowered

01:23:30.980 to be

01:23:31.460 as rude

01:23:32.060 and

01:23:32.420 inhumane

01:23:33.200 as they

01:23:33.740 want.

01:23:34.780 They

01:23:35.060 feel

01:23:35.560 that hate

01:23:36.380 directed

01:23:37.180 at the

01:23:37.600 right

01:23:37.880 people

01:23:38.340 is

01:23:39.540 holy

01:23:39.840 work.

01:23:42.040 Megan

01:23:42.720 lived for

01:23:43.140 27 years

01:23:44.660 under the

01:23:45.140 Westboro

01:23:45.460 Baptist

01:23:45.840 Church.

01:23:46.620 She

01:23:46.800 brandished

01:23:47.420 signs

01:23:47.900 saying

01:23:48.220 things

01:23:48.480 like,

01:23:49.280 thank

01:23:49.380 God

01:23:49.620 for 1.00

01:23:49.820 dead

01:23:50.080 soldiers,

01:23:51.000 God

01:23:51.220 hates 0.99

01:23:51.600 you. 0.91

01:23:52.920 She

01:23:53.140 was

01:23:53.480 actually

01:23:53.940 the

01:23:54.200 face

01:23:54.700 of

01:23:55.040 the

01:23:55.240 movement.

01:23:56.760 She

01:23:57.000 was

01:23:57.320 going

01:23:57.680 to

01:23:57.980 be

01:23:58.380 the

01:23:59.060 next

01:23:59.480 leader

01:24:00.020 of

01:24:00.480 the

01:24:00.600 Westboro

01:24:00.980 Baptist

01:24:01.320 Church.

01:24:01.720 She

01:24:02.320 believed

01:24:03.040 and she

01:24:04.240 battled it

01:24:04.800 out on

01:24:05.200 Twitter

01:24:05.460 with the

01:24:05.900 naysayers

01:24:06.540 on behalf

01:24:07.020 of the

01:24:07.260 whole

01:24:07.440 congregation.

01:24:08.780 But it

01:24:09.440 was those

01:24:09.900 Twitter

01:24:10.220 battles

01:24:10.700 that

01:24:11.280 ended up

01:24:11.960 being

01:24:12.320 her

01:24:12.660 saving

01:24:13.080 grace.

01:24:15.620 Now,

01:24:16.220 wait a

01:24:16.420 minute.

01:24:17.740 The

01:24:18.260 Twitter

01:24:18.560 battles?

01:24:19.640 I know

01:24:20.320 how ugly

01:24:21.000 Twitter

01:24:21.380 battles

01:24:21.800 can be.

01:24:23.000 That's

01:24:23.520 going to

01:24:23.720 get me

01:24:24.020 out of

01:24:24.300 a

01:24:24.440 cult?

01:24:25.160 No,

01:24:25.400 no,

01:24:25.840 listen.

01:24:26.980 The

01:24:27.620 usual

01:24:28.020 crowd

01:24:28.440 of

01:24:28.620 angry

01:24:28.900 people

01:24:29.280 came

01:24:29.580 out

01:24:29.780 on

01:24:29.960 Twitter

01:24:30.240 and

01:24:30.680 they

01:24:30.860 all

01:24:31.280 yelled

01:24:31.660 at

01:24:31.820 her,

01:24:32.100 criticized

01:24:32.380 her,

01:24:33.520 threw

01:24:33.680 hate

01:24:34.020 right

01:24:34.300 back

01:24:34.640 at

01:24:34.900 her.

01:24:37.080 That's

01:24:37.700 what she

01:24:38.060 was

01:24:38.260 expecting.

01:24:40.100 But not

01:24:41.060 everyone

01:24:41.660 did that.

01:24:42.380 There

01:24:42.460 were a

01:24:42.940 few who

01:24:43.540 never

01:24:43.920 lost

01:24:44.340 their

01:24:44.560 humanity.

01:24:46.000 Their

01:24:46.140 message

01:24:46.580 was,

01:24:47.480 we're

01:24:47.560 all human

01:24:48.080 beings

01:24:48.440 worthy

01:24:48.820 of love

01:24:49.320 and

01:24:49.480 respect,

01:24:50.640 including

01:24:51.140 you,

01:24:51.640 Megan.

01:24:51.860 They

01:24:53.200 didn't

01:24:53.520 condone

01:24:53.940 her

01:24:54.120 hate

01:24:54.480 or

01:24:54.980 tiptoe

01:24:55.540 around

01:24:55.880 her

01:24:56.100 misunderstandings,

01:24:57.180 but they

01:24:57.960 saw

01:24:58.280 beyond

01:24:58.800 them.

01:24:59.660 She

01:24:59.820 was a

01:25:00.220 person

01:25:00.600 who

01:25:01.380 had

01:25:01.740 trapped

01:25:02.240 herself

01:25:02.780 in

01:25:03.080 the

01:25:03.280 toxic

01:25:03.700 ideas

01:25:04.420 that

01:25:04.700 she

01:25:04.900 inherited.

01:25:06.000 But

01:25:06.580 most

01:25:07.340 importantly,

01:25:08.360 she

01:25:08.720 was

01:25:09.260 a

01:25:09.920 person.

01:25:11.620 Two

01:25:12.040 men

01:25:12.460 went

01:25:12.740 above

01:25:13.000 and

01:25:13.180 beyond.

01:25:13.600 One

01:25:13.760 named

01:25:14.000 David,

01:25:15.300 who

01:25:15.580 had

01:25:15.800 a

01:25:16.000 blog

01:25:16.280 named

01:25:16.740 Jewelicious,

01:25:19.820 another

01:25:20.420 named

01:25:21.780 Chad,

01:25:22.900 who

01:25:23.180 became

01:25:23.600 her

01:25:23.840 husband.

01:25:24.960 What

01:25:25.500 began

01:25:25.820 on

01:25:26.040 Twitter

01:25:26.260 as

01:25:26.680 a

01:25:26.940 verbal

01:25:27.300 rock

01:25:27.660 throwing

01:25:27.980 fight

01:25:28.420 slowly

01:25:29.380 evolved

01:25:30.160 into

01:25:30.520 real

01:25:31.000 conversation,

01:25:32.040 one that

01:25:32.960 appealed

01:25:33.500 to

01:25:33.840 Megan's

01:25:34.320 humanity.

01:25:35.820 All

01:25:35.980 they

01:25:36.220 did

01:25:36.580 was

01:25:36.840 ask

01:25:37.280 her

01:25:37.500 honest,

01:25:38.620 not

01:25:39.200 accusatory,

01:25:40.720 honest

01:25:41.220 questions.

01:25:42.520 It

01:25:43.220 made

01:25:43.600 Megan

01:25:43.940 feel

01:25:44.280 respected

01:25:44.940 and

01:25:45.360 heard.

01:25:46.720 She

01:25:46.980 could

01:25:47.180 let

01:25:47.380 her

01:25:47.520 guard

01:25:47.860 down

01:25:48.200 now.

01:25:48.840 She

01:25:48.960 may

01:25:49.180 have

01:25:49.380 thought,

01:25:49.720 I'm

01:25:49.940 going

01:25:50.040 to

01:25:50.140 get

01:25:50.300 these

01:25:50.660 guys

01:25:51.060 in.

01:25:51.780 But

01:25:53.720 she

01:25:53.900 let

01:25:54.100 her

01:25:54.240 guard

01:25:54.540 down

01:25:55.000 because

01:25:55.840 these

01:25:56.160 people

01:25:56.500 were

01:25:56.960 not

01:25:57.260 there

01:25:57.560 to

01:25:57.780 fight.

01:25:58.860 They

01:25:58.960 were

01:25:59.180 there

01:25:59.560 to

01:25:59.880 understand

01:26:00.780 and

01:26:01.580 that

01:26:01.940 changed

01:26:02.520 everything.

01:26:04.480 The

01:26:04.600 questions

01:26:05.080 they

01:26:05.300 asked

01:26:05.620 inspired

01:26:06.300 questions

01:26:07.000 in

01:26:07.400 herself

01:26:07.960 because

01:26:09.400 there

01:26:09.580 were holes

01:26:10.720 in her

01:26:11.080 thinking

01:26:11.400 that she

01:26:11.780 hadn't

01:26:12.080 considered

01:26:12.500 and

01:26:13.320 given

01:26:13.560 the

01:26:13.800 right

01:26:14.200 environment

01:26:14.860 she

01:26:15.360 felt

01:26:15.660 safe

01:26:16.120 enough

01:26:16.460 to

01:26:16.780 really

01:26:17.140 wrestle

01:26:17.640 with

01:26:18.040 those

01:26:18.280 questions.

01:26:18.840 One

01:26:20.560 day

01:26:20.800 David

01:26:21.240 met

01:26:21.560 Megan

01:26:21.980 on

01:26:22.780 the

01:26:22.920 picket

01:26:23.180 line

01:26:23.380 to

01:26:23.540 give

01:26:23.680 her

01:26:23.780 some

01:26:23.940 food

01:26:24.320 from

01:26:24.580 a

01:26:24.740 market

01:26:25.100 in

01:26:25.480 Jerusalem.

01:26:26.640 A

01:26:26.800 Jewish

01:26:27.380 man

01:26:27.860 brought

01:26:28.660 treats

01:26:29.280 to

01:26:29.500 the

01:26:29.680 woman 0.99

01:26:29.980 who

01:26:30.260 held

01:26:30.580 signs

01:26:31.180 that

01:26:31.440 said

01:26:31.780 your

01:26:32.400 rabbi

01:26:32.860 is

01:26:33.100 a 1.00

01:26:33.280 whore. 1.00

01:26:33.680 He 1.00

01:26:36.220 was a

01:26:36.520 person

01:26:36.860 to

01:26:37.080 her

01:26:37.280 now.

01:26:37.940 He

01:26:38.020 was

01:26:38.160 a

01:26:38.280 nice

01:26:38.520 person.

01:26:39.340 He

01:26:39.740 was

01:26:39.920 a

01:26:40.060 smart

01:26:40.360 person

01:26:40.760 who

01:26:40.980 could

01:26:41.220 debate

01:26:41.720 her

01:26:41.940 on

01:26:42.140 the

01:26:42.300 Bible.

01:26:43.320 He

01:26:43.460 was

01:26:43.700 a

01:26:43.960 Jew 0.95

01:26:44.300 and

01:26:45.400 there

01:26:45.560 was

01:26:45.780 no

01:26:46.120 way

01:26:46.400 for

01:26:46.620 her

01:26:46.800 to

01:26:47.060 reconcile

01:26:47.500 this.

01:26:49.060 Her

01:26:49.220 whole

01:26:49.640 reality

01:26:50.320 unraveled

01:26:51.280 from

01:26:51.540 there.

01:26:53.280 Imagine

01:26:53.880 being like

01:26:54.460 her

01:26:54.640 and

01:26:54.880 realizing

01:26:55.380 that

01:26:55.620 you

01:26:55.760 have

01:26:55.940 inherited

01:26:56.480 lies

01:26:57.300 from

01:26:57.880 the

01:26:58.040 people

01:26:58.300 that

01:26:58.700 you

01:26:59.140 thought

01:26:59.360 loved

01:26:59.640 you

01:26:59.800 most.

01:27:01.440 Knowing

01:27:02.040 the

01:27:02.320 truth

01:27:02.860 now

01:27:03.400 meant

01:27:03.740 leaving

01:27:04.420 those

01:27:04.800 people

01:27:05.120 maybe

01:27:05.460 forever.

01:27:06.700 You

01:27:06.900 think

01:27:07.180 I

01:27:07.360 might

01:27:07.540 lose

01:27:07.760 some

01:27:07.920 friends.

01:27:08.520 She

01:27:08.720 was

01:27:09.020 losing

01:27:09.500 her

01:27:10.040 whole

01:27:10.520 identity

01:27:11.260 and

01:27:11.580 her

01:27:11.740 whole

01:27:11.960 world.

01:27:14.240 She

01:27:14.880 was

01:27:15.120 the

01:27:15.300 church's

01:27:15.680 rising

01:27:16.240 star.

01:27:18.040 And

01:27:18.660 she

01:27:18.820 knew

01:27:19.020 after

01:27:19.360 I

01:27:19.640 leave

01:27:19.940 the

01:27:20.160 church

01:27:20.440 I'll

01:27:20.660 just

01:27:20.840 be

01:27:21.020 another

01:27:21.320 one

01:27:21.580 of

01:27:21.780 them

01:27:22.580 another

01:27:23.560 outsider.

01:27:25.980 Megan

01:27:26.620 and her

01:27:26.960 sister

01:27:27.200 left

01:27:27.640 Westboro

01:27:28.140 Baptist

01:27:28.500 Church

01:27:28.840 in

01:27:29.060 2012.

01:27:31.360 Since

01:27:31.980 leaving

01:27:32.380 the

01:27:32.580 Westboro

01:27:32.920 Baptist

01:27:33.260 Church

01:27:33.680 Megan

01:27:34.780 has

01:27:35.580 said

01:27:35.800 she

01:27:35.980 sees

01:27:36.380 the

01:27:36.580 tactics

01:27:37.020 of

01:27:37.380 her

01:27:37.520 former

01:27:37.920 cult

01:27:38.420 all

01:27:38.920 over

01:27:39.440 our

01:27:40.080 public

01:27:40.580 discourse.

01:27:42.500 The

01:27:42.600 cult

01:27:42.920 mentality

01:27:43.620 spreads

01:27:44.020 across

01:27:44.280 social

01:27:44.620 media

01:27:44.880 like

01:27:45.120 a

01:27:45.320 virus

01:27:45.780 and

01:27:46.200 although

01:27:46.420 it's

01:27:46.920 slower

01:27:47.540 in

01:27:47.880 real

01:27:48.160 life

01:27:48.500 it's

01:27:48.860 spreading

01:27:49.240 there

01:27:49.620 too.

01:27:50.540 So

01:27:50.660 she

01:27:50.840 gave

01:27:51.220 us

01:27:51.720 some

01:27:52.080 advice.

01:27:53.920 One

01:27:54.640 don't

01:27:56.080 assume

01:27:56.500 ill

01:27:56.800 intent.

01:27:59.040 Megan

01:27:59.300 really

01:27:59.760 truly

01:28:00.160 believed

01:28:00.760 she

01:28:00.980 was

01:28:01.180 doing

01:28:01.360 the

01:28:01.500 work

01:28:01.680 of

01:28:01.840 God

01:28:02.160 with

01:28:02.420 the

01:28:02.520 Westboro

01:28:02.860 Baptist

01:28:03.200 Church.

01:28:04.240 I

01:28:04.800 can't

01:28:05.200 imagine

01:28:05.560 it.

01:28:05.860 I

01:28:05.880 can't

01:28:06.140 imagine

01:28:06.400 you

01:28:06.660 do

01:28:06.900 either

01:28:07.220 but

01:28:07.420 that's

01:28:07.700 all

01:28:07.840 she

01:28:08.100 knew

01:28:08.540 and

01:28:09.120 it

01:28:09.220 would

01:28:09.340 be

01:28:09.520 really

01:28:09.900 easy

01:28:10.400 and

01:28:10.580 I

01:28:10.700 know

01:28:10.860 I

01:28:11.080 did.

01:28:11.700 I

01:28:11.720 assumed

01:28:12.100 that

01:28:12.280 the

01:28:12.400 woman 0.99

01:28:12.640 tweeting

01:28:13.020 thank

01:28:13.300 God

01:28:13.540 for

01:28:13.800 AIDS

01:28:14.160 was

01:28:14.880 a

01:28:15.040 horrible 0.99

01:28:15.380 person

01:28:15.900 who

01:28:16.180 had

01:28:16.360 horrible

01:28:16.780 intentions.

01:28:18.840 But

01:28:18.860 the

01:28:19.040 two

01:28:19.440 men

01:28:19.760 that

01:28:20.000 chose 0.56

01:28:20.440 to

01:28:20.660 believe

01:28:21.000 otherwise

01:28:21.700 changed

01:28:22.960 Megan's

01:28:23.540 life

01:28:23.920 forever.

01:28:25.920 Two

01:28:26.140 ask

01:28:27.660 honest

01:28:28.560 questions.

01:28:29.840 We

01:28:30.720 can't

01:28:31.180 assume

01:28:31.600 we

01:28:31.900 know

01:28:32.220 why

01:28:32.740 people

01:28:33.220 believe

01:28:33.860 what

01:28:34.280 they

01:28:34.460 do

01:28:34.920 and

01:28:35.840 even

01:28:36.180 and

01:28:37.460 even

01:28:37.740 if we

01:28:38.120 really

01:28:38.580 do

01:28:39.000 know

01:28:39.440 by

01:28:40.580 asking

01:28:41.180 honest

01:28:41.780 questions

01:28:42.420 we

01:28:43.700 get

01:28:43.900 them

01:28:44.460 to

01:28:45.520 ask

01:28:45.840 questions

01:28:46.320 of

01:28:46.560 themselves.

01:28:47.580 Questions

01:28:47.940 indicate

01:28:48.800 sincere

01:28:49.460 interest

01:28:49.980 and

01:28:50.400 respect

01:28:51.120 and

01:28:51.900 in

01:28:52.020 the

01:28:52.160 best

01:28:52.440 cases

01:28:52.980 might

01:28:53.620 lead

01:28:53.960 the

01:28:54.140 other

01:28:54.360 person

01:28:54.680 to

01:28:54.840 ask

01:28:55.120 what

01:28:55.740 you

01:28:56.080 think.

01:28:58.180 Three

01:28:58.780 another

01:28:59.320 hard

01:28:59.680 one

01:28:59.940 stay

01:29:00.760 calm

01:29:01.220 don't

01:29:01.780 yell

01:29:02.100 don't

01:29:02.580 freak

01:29:02.840 out

01:29:03.140 don't

01:29:03.460 lose

01:29:03.640 your

01:29:03.780 cool

01:29:04.180 you

01:29:05.320 don't

01:29:05.480 have

01:29:05.680 to

01:29:05.820 hold

01:29:05.980 back

01:29:06.240 on

01:29:06.380 the

01:29:06.540 truth

01:29:07.120 but

01:29:07.700 if

01:29:07.860 anger

01:29:08.300 is

01:29:08.540 in

01:29:08.680 the

01:29:08.780 driver's

01:29:09.260 seat

01:29:09.540 expect

01:29:10.920 a

01:29:11.160 wreck

01:29:11.440 four

01:29:13.600 make

01:29:15.000 your

01:29:15.540 case

01:29:16.120 your

01:29:17.440 opinion

01:29:17.860 may

01:29:18.440 not

01:29:18.900 be

01:29:19.180 as

01:29:19.440 self

01:29:19.740 evident

01:29:20.080 as

01:29:20.520 it

01:29:20.680 seems

01:29:21.100 or

01:29:21.780 even

01:29:22.120 as

01:29:22.460 self

01:29:22.720 evident

01:29:23.060 as

01:29:23.500 it

01:29:23.640 should

01:29:23.900 be

01:29:24.220 why

01:29:25.620 should

01:29:26.220 men

01:29:26.820 not

01:29:27.340 be

01:29:27.580 in

01:29:27.720 women's

01:29:28.180 prison

01:29:28.560 I

01:29:30.180 don't

01:29:30.320 even

01:29:30.500 have

01:29:30.700 to

01:29:30.820 think

01:29:31.100 about

01:29:31.360 that

01:29:31.660 but

01:29:32.840 if

01:29:32.960 I'm

01:29:33.120 talking

01:29:33.360 to

01:29:33.480 somebody

01:29:33.720 who

01:29:33.940 absolutely

01:29:34.600 does

01:29:34.960 not

01:29:35.380 understand

01:29:35.820 that

01:29:36.120 how

01:29:36.440 do

01:29:36.740 I

01:29:37.000 make

01:29:37.320 sense

01:29:37.740 of

01:29:37.900 that

01:29:38.160 for

01:29:38.400 them

01:29:38.720 first

01:29:39.800 I

01:29:40.240 have

01:29:40.440 to

01:29:40.540 ask

01:29:40.720 them

01:29:40.880 all

01:29:41.060 kinds

01:29:41.400 of

01:29:41.560 questions

01:29:42.020 how

01:29:42.780 did

01:29:43.000 you

01:29:43.160 get

01:29:43.380 there

01:29:43.720 tell

01:29:44.640 me

01:29:44.920 how

01:29:45.320 you

01:29:45.520 believe

01:29:45.860 that

01:29:46.060 what

01:29:49.440 we

01:29:50.160 have

01:29:50.340 to

01:29:50.480 make

01:29:50.800 the

01:29:51.000 complete

01:29:51.380 case

01:29:51.720 every

01:29:51.960 single

01:29:52.260 time

01:29:52.600 no

01:29:53.160 one

01:29:53.380 had

01:29:53.600 made

01:29:53.880 the

01:29:54.080 case

01:29:54.380 to

01:29:54.600 Megan

01:29:54.920 that

01:29:55.180 what

01:29:55.480 she

01:29:55.600 was

01:29:55.760 doing

01:29:56.000 was

01:29:56.200 harmful

01:29:56.820 when

01:29:57.680 she

01:29:57.920 did

01:29:58.500 by

01:29:59.040 someone

01:29:59.380 she

01:29:59.620 perceived

01:30:00.300 as

01:30:00.840 a

01:30:01.380 non

01:30:01.860 threat

01:30:02.560 she

01:30:03.220 changed

01:30:03.640 her

01:30:03.820 mind

01:30:04.220 the

01:30:06.660 Bible

01:30:06.940 says

01:30:07.480 be

01:30:07.800 as

01:30:08.000 wise

01:30:08.460 as

01:30:08.820 serpents

01:30:09.440 but

01:30:10.200 also

01:30:10.620 as

01:30:11.040 gentle

01:30:11.500 as

01:30:12.000 doves

01:30:12.640 have

01:30:15.500 you

01:30:15.620 noticed

01:30:15.840 we

01:30:16.040 haven't

01:30:16.420 seen

01:30:16.800 a

01:30:17.100 lot

01:30:17.260 of

01:30:17.460 big

01:30:19.020 news

01:30:19.640 from

01:30:20.200 the

01:30:20.720 most

01:30:21.300 homophobic

01:30:22.380 group

01:30:22.780 I've

01:30:23.100 ever

01:30:23.380 seen

01:30:23.820 the

01:30:24.820 most

01:30:25.320 radicalized

01:30:26.860 group

01:30:27.340 outside

01:30:27.840 of the

01:30:28.380 clan

01:30:28.920 we

01:30:30.380 haven't

01:30:30.700 seen

01:30:31.000 much

01:30:31.300 from

01:30:31.540 the

01:30:31.800 Westboro

01:30:32.400 Baptist

01:30:32.820 Church

01:30:33.380 I'm

01:30:36.380 wondering

01:30:36.740 if

01:30:37.140 that's

01:30:37.580 because

01:30:38.200 two

01:30:39.900 men

01:30:40.380 befriended

01:30:42.500 somebody

01:30:43.140 honestly

01:30:44.320 loved

01:30:45.360 them

01:30:45.720 asked

01:30:46.340 them

01:30:46.600 honest

01:30:47.140 questions

01:30:47.800 and

01:30:50.840 their

01:30:51.040 leader

01:30:51.320 left

01:30:52.020 how

01:30:56.120 many

01:30:56.360 conversations

01:30:57.020 do you

01:30:57.740 have

01:30:58.020 every

01:30:58.260 day

01:30:58.500 with

01:30:58.720 people

01:30:59.040 you

01:30:59.240 disagree

01:30:59.640 with

01:31:00.120 if

01:31:01.140 you

01:31:01.340 understand

01:31:01.980 that

01:31:02.560 what

01:31:02.880 they

01:31:03.200 are

01:31:03.580 a

01:31:03.900 party

01:31:04.580 to

01:31:04.980 is

01:31:06.040 a

01:31:06.380 cult

01:31:06.840 and

01:31:07.360 they

01:31:07.560 don't

01:31:07.900 know

01:31:08.200 it

01:31:08.420 nor

01:31:08.780 will

01:31:09.080 they

01:31:09.320 believe

01:31:09.880 it

01:31:10.180 when

01:31:10.560 you

01:31:10.700 tell

01:31:10.960 them

01:31:11.220 that

01:31:11.580 and

01:31:13.440 everything

01:31:13.960 that

01:31:14.300 they

01:31:14.480 are

01:31:14.660 told

01:31:15.080 means

01:31:16.080 if

01:31:16.440 you

01:31:16.700 question

01:31:17.300 them

01:31:17.720 you're

01:31:18.240 the

01:31:18.480 enemy

01:31:18.860 so

01:31:19.160 I

01:31:19.420 can't

01:31:19.740 listen

01:31:20.000 to

01:31:20.180 you

01:31:20.540 how

01:31:21.400 many

01:31:21.560 conversations

01:31:22.140 have

01:31:22.460 you

01:31:22.600 had

01:31:22.900 that

01:31:23.080 if

01:31:23.220 you

01:31:23.360 understand

01:31:23.980 they're

01:31:24.220 in a

01:31:24.480 cult

01:31:24.740 and

01:31:24.920 you

01:31:25.040 understand

01:31:25.540 how

01:31:26.460 to

01:31:27.740 deprogram

01:31:28.640 how many

01:31:30.160 of your

01:31:30.300 conversations

01:31:30.780 will

01:31:31.040 change

01:31:31.700 we

01:31:33.840 can't

01:31:34.140 be

01:31:34.260 naive

01:31:34.700 but

01:31:34.920 we

01:31:35.080 can't

01:31:35.440 give

01:31:35.640 up

01:31:35.840 on

01:31:36.040 people

01:31:36.420 prematurely

01:31:37.420 it's

01:31:38.960 tempting

01:31:39.380 to

01:31:39.640 look

01:31:39.840 at

01:31:39.940 the

01:31:40.040 person

01:31:40.360 tweeting

01:31:41.140 that

01:31:41.420 the

01:31:41.660 unvaccinated

01:31:42.640 people

01:31:43.180 just

01:31:43.500 deserve 1.00

01:31:44.000 death 1.00

01:31:44.620 it's

01:31:46.940 really

01:31:47.960 tempting

01:31:48.340 to

01:31:48.540 look

01:31:48.680 at

01:31:48.780 that

01:31:48.940 person

01:31:49.300 and

01:31:49.900 say

01:31:50.340 wow

01:31:51.300 are

01:31:51.520 they

01:31:51.720 evil

01:31:52.060 and

01:31:52.260 past

01:31:52.600 hope

01:31:52.940 but

01:31:56.880 are

01:31:57.160 they

01:31:57.500 what

01:32:01.660 have

01:32:01.940 we

01:32:02.140 done

01:32:02.580 if

01:32:03.920 we

01:32:04.100 just

01:32:04.520 assume

01:32:05.200 that

01:32:05.820 they're

01:32:06.040 past

01:32:06.540 hope

01:32:07.320 what

01:32:09.680 if

01:32:09.860 they

01:32:10.040 aren't

01:32:11.200 coming

01:32:15.120 up in

01:32:15.420 a few

01:32:15.620 minutes

01:32:15.940 James

01:32:16.360 Lindsay

01:32:16.800 joins

01:32:17.300 me

01:32:17.540 he has

01:32:18.020 studied

01:32:18.360 this

01:32:18.760 through

01:32:19.080 and

01:32:19.300 through

01:32:19.720 and

01:32:20.380 we

01:32:20.860 can

01:32:21.020 discuss

01:32:21.460 it

01:32:21.680 it's

01:32:22.900 one

01:32:23.080 thing

01:32:23.260 to

01:32:23.440 recognize

01:32:24.100 the

01:32:24.360 cult

01:32:24.600 like

01:32:24.840 tendencies

01:32:25.480 that

01:32:26.000 pulse

01:32:26.520 through

01:32:26.980 American

01:32:27.520 politics

01:32:28.140 and

01:32:28.540 work

01:32:28.740 to

01:32:28.900 stop

01:32:29.180 it

01:32:29.280 but

01:32:29.420 the

01:32:29.580 real

01:32:29.820 question

01:32:30.260 is

01:32:30.640 what

01:32:31.860 made

01:32:32.080 us

01:32:32.240 vulnerable

01:32:32.840 to

01:32:33.260 cultic

01:32:33.880 authoritarianism

01:32:34.860 in the

01:32:35.080 first

01:32:35.340 place

01:32:35.780 why

01:32:37.080 is it

01:32:37.480 we

01:32:37.620 keep

01:32:37.880 misplacing

01:32:38.580 our

01:32:38.860 religious

01:32:39.340 instincts

01:32:40.260 because

01:32:40.700 all of

01:32:41.000 us

01:32:41.140 do

01:32:41.360 it

01:32:41.540 even

01:32:41.900 if

01:32:42.080 in

01:32:42.260 small

01:32:42.600 ways

01:32:43.020 we

01:32:43.280 are

01:32:43.460 all

01:32:43.800 vulnerable

01:32:44.400 to

01:32:44.760 tribal

01:32:45.240 and

01:32:45.660 yes

01:32:46.000 even

01:32:46.340 cultic

01:32:47.240 inclinations

01:32:48.300 so

01:32:50.140 is

01:32:50.280 this

01:32:50.400 whole

01:32:50.560 religion

01:32:50.920 thing

01:32:51.160 just

01:32:51.340 too

01:32:51.520 dangerous

01:32:51.840 to

01:32:52.040 play

01:32:52.220 around

01:32:52.460 with

01:32:52.680 should

01:32:53.260 we

01:32:53.420 abandon

01:32:53.800 it

01:32:54.040 altogether

01:32:54.520 or

01:32:55.700 is

01:32:56.120 the

01:32:56.260 abandonment

01:32:56.820 of

01:32:57.020 religion

01:32:57.440 what

01:32:57.700 got

01:32:58.000 us

01:32:58.180 into

01:32:58.500 this

01:32:58.800 mess

01:32:59.300 in

01:32:59.680 the

01:32:59.800 first

01:33:00.040 place

01:33:00.500 it

01:33:02.020 was

01:33:02.160 1798

01:33:02.980 when

01:33:03.200 John Adams

01:33:03.760 wrote a

01:33:04.200 letter

01:33:04.440 to the

01:33:05.220 Massachusetts

01:33:06.020 militia

01:33:07.020 he said

01:33:08.180 quote

01:33:08.520 we have

01:33:09.520 no

01:33:09.740 government

01:33:10.200 armed

01:33:10.740 with

01:33:11.040 power

01:33:11.500 capable

01:33:12.020 of

01:33:12.440 contending

01:33:12.960 with

01:33:13.340 human

01:33:13.760 passions

01:33:14.380 unbridled

01:33:15.200 by

01:33:15.680 morality

01:33:16.520 and

01:33:16.820 religion

01:33:17.200 our

01:33:17.880 constitution

01:33:18.540 was

01:33:19.040 made

01:33:19.460 for a

01:33:19.980 moral

01:33:20.420 and

01:33:20.740 religious

01:33:21.180 people

01:33:21.780 and

01:33:22.440 it's

01:33:22.660 wholly

01:33:23.020 inadequate

01:33:23.440 to

01:33:23.780 the

01:33:23.920 government

01:33:24.220 of

01:33:24.440 any

01:33:24.640 other

01:33:24.980 Adam

01:33:26.060 said

01:33:26.320 our

01:33:26.480 representative

01:33:26.960 republic

01:33:27.580 needed

01:33:27.960 not only

01:33:28.380 moral

01:33:28.760 but

01:33:28.980 religious

01:33:29.500 people

01:33:29.940 to

01:33:30.160 survive

01:33:30.680 because

01:33:31.420 if they're not

01:33:32.680 going to be

01:33:32.960 restrained by the

01:33:33.580 government

01:33:33.880 then people

01:33:34.440 must foster the

01:33:35.780 discipline to

01:33:36.540 restrain

01:33:37.060 themselves

01:33:37.860 and

01:33:38.840 religion

01:33:39.640 played that

01:33:40.700 role in

01:33:41.120 our society

01:33:41.740 for a

01:33:42.200 long

01:33:42.600 long

01:33:42.980 time

01:33:43.500 I'm

01:33:44.800 not

01:33:44.980 suggesting

01:33:45.500 that

01:33:45.940 we

01:33:46.060 all

01:33:46.360 convert

01:33:46.960 to

01:33:47.180 one

01:33:47.440 faith

01:33:48.020 or

01:33:48.380 god

01:33:48.960 forbid

01:33:49.240 the

01:33:49.460 government

01:33:49.800 impose

01:33:50.460 faith

01:33:51.040 on

01:33:51.360 us

01:33:51.600 but

01:33:52.520 we

01:33:52.700 need

01:33:53.320 moral

01:33:54.000 agreements

01:33:54.780 we

01:33:55.480 need

01:33:55.780 a

01:33:55.980 plumb

01:33:56.340 line

01:33:56.720 to

01:33:57.020 guide

01:33:57.500 our

01:33:57.800 nation

01:33:58.220 and

01:33:59.180 we

01:33:59.300 need

01:33:59.460 to

01:33:59.600 come

01:33:59.820 to

01:34:00.060 it

01:34:00.280 of

01:34:02.420 generation

01:34:05.140 to

01:34:05.380 generation

01:34:05.820 we

01:34:06.100 are

01:34:06.240 losing

01:34:06.580 our

01:34:06.820 spiritual

01:34:07.280 well

01:34:07.620 being

01:34:07.960 our

01:34:08.940 nation

01:34:09.260 is

01:34:09.480 undergoing

01:34:09.860 a

01:34:10.180 cultural

01:34:10.580 revolution

01:34:11.180 a

01:34:12.820 a

01:34:13.220 sexual

01:34:13.660 revolution

01:34:14.320 what

01:34:15.220 we

01:34:15.440 need

01:34:15.900 is

01:34:16.180 a

01:34:16.380 spiritual

01:34:16.920 revolution

01:34:17.820 a

01:34:18.180 spiritual

01:34:18.660 restoration

01:34:19.420 a

01:34:20.000 great

01:34:20.500 awakening

01:34:21.240 but

01:34:22.640 what

01:34:22.840 does

01:34:23.000 that

01:34:23.160 look

01:34:23.360 like

01:34:23.700 well

01:34:25.080 after

01:34:25.360 god

01:34:25.700 delivered

01:34:26.140 the

01:34:26.340 hebrew

01:34:26.840 people

01:34:27.320 from

01:34:27.640 slavery

01:34:28.060 in

01:34:28.420 egypt

01:34:28.840 they

01:34:29.480 didn't

01:34:29.660 go

01:34:29.840 straight 0.70

01:34:30.140 to

01:34:30.320 the

01:34:30.460 promised

01:34:30.760 land

01:34:31.260 far

01:34:32.140 from

01:34:32.360 it

01:34:32.500 for

01:34:33.040 40

01:34:33.580 years

01:34:34.240 they

01:34:34.460 wandered

01:34:34.860 in

01:34:35.020 the

01:34:35.140 desert

01:34:35.420 while

01:34:35.700 god

01:34:36.060 prepared

01:34:36.700 their

01:34:37.040 hearts

01:34:37.480 you

01:34:38.700 see

01:34:38.820 they

01:34:38.960 still

01:34:39.180 had a

01:34:39.500 slave

01:34:39.900 mentality

01:34:40.620 they

01:34:41.580 had

01:34:41.880 bad

01:34:42.300 habits

01:34:42.800 they

01:34:43.660 needed

01:34:43.940 time

01:34:44.500 to

01:34:44.780 work

01:34:45.000 that

01:34:45.240 out

01:34:45.620 but

01:34:47.120 the

01:34:47.260 new

01:34:47.420 generations

01:34:47.900 forgot

01:34:48.420 the

01:34:48.780 god

01:34:49.060 who

01:34:49.220 had

01:34:49.360 parted

01:34:49.680 the

01:34:49.840 sea

01:34:50.140 sent

01:34:50.680 the

01:34:50.840 plagues

01:34:51.280 and

01:34:51.520 freed

01:34:51.860 them

01:34:52.040 from

01:34:52.280 pharaoh

01:34:52.680 so

01:34:53.380 they

01:34:53.540 worshipped

01:34:53.880 new

01:34:54.160 gods

01:34:54.620 gods

01:34:55.420 of

01:34:55.880 meaningless

01:34:56.420 realities

01:34:57.440 that

01:34:58.720 would

01:34:58.840 always

01:34:59.240 lead

01:34:59.560 to

01:34:59.700 destruction

01:35:00.140 for

01:35:00.420 them

01:35:00.660 and

01:35:01.420 then

01:35:01.660 they

01:35:01.840 would

01:35:02.000 beg

01:35:02.200 god

01:35:02.420 to

01:35:02.560 take

01:35:02.740 them

01:35:02.860 back

01:35:03.140 and

01:35:03.260 he

01:35:03.340 would

01:35:03.560 and

01:35:03.700 a

01:35:03.820 generation

01:35:04.160 later

01:35:04.520 the

01:35:04.720 people

01:35:04.980 would

01:35:05.160 forget

01:35:05.460 again

01:35:05.920 rinse

01:35:06.780 repeat

01:35:07.560 joshua

01:35:09.680 was one

01:35:10.040 of the

01:35:10.300 bible's

01:35:10.720 mightiest

01:35:11.160 warriors

01:35:11.620 he spoke

01:35:12.760 to the

01:35:13.400 hebrew

01:35:13.680 people

01:35:14.020 and he

01:35:14.300 said

01:35:14.520 if you

01:35:15.360 love

01:35:15.740 god

01:35:16.200 follow

01:35:16.760 him

01:35:17.260 if you

01:35:18.600 love

01:35:19.040 baal

01:35:19.680 or if

01:35:20.720 you

01:35:20.840 love

01:35:21.020 another

01:35:21.320 god

01:35:21.720 follow

01:35:22.280 him

01:35:22.800 but

01:35:24.540 as for

01:35:25.380 me

01:35:25.640 and my

01:35:26.200 house

01:35:26.600 we

01:35:27.500 will

01:35:27.820 serve

01:35:28.240 the

01:35:28.480 lord

01:35:28.860 that's

01:35:30.780 really

01:35:31.080 what

01:35:31.360 early

01:35:31.580 americans

01:35:32.060 said

01:35:32.500 other

01:35:33.480 nations

01:35:33.920 other

01:35:34.140 people

01:35:34.420 could

01:35:34.640 choose

01:35:34.920 a

01:35:35.080 god

01:35:35.340 for

01:35:35.560 themselves

01:35:35.900 you

01:35:36.860 saw

01:35:37.140 how

01:35:37.340 poorly

01:35:37.620 that

01:35:37.900 went

01:35:38.200 but

01:35:39.360 america

01:35:39.820 said

01:35:40.220 as

01:35:40.660 for

01:35:40.900 this

01:35:41.260 nation

01:35:41.760 we

01:35:42.420 will

01:35:42.640 humble

01:35:42.960 ourselves

01:35:43.660 before

01:35:44.160 the

01:35:44.640 god

01:35:44.960 of

01:35:45.260 abraham

01:35:45.880 isaac

01:35:46.400 and

01:35:46.580 jacob

01:35:47.040 god

01:35:48.940 was

01:35:50.380 with

01:35:51.200 our

01:35:51.460 founding

01:35:51.800 generation

01:35:52.440 we call

01:35:52.940 it

01:35:53.060 divine

01:35:53.480 providence

01:35:54.140 because

01:35:55.440 it just

01:35:55.880 doesn't

01:35:56.160 make

01:35:56.380 sense

01:35:56.880 without

01:35:57.140 god

01:35:57.480 how

01:35:57.660 could

01:35:57.860 we

01:35:58.040 have

01:35:58.220 done

01:35:58.520 all

01:35:58.780 of

01:35:58.920 that

01:35:59.080 on

01:35:59.240 our

01:35:59.420 own

01:35:59.820 we

01:36:00.140 couldn't

01:36:00.420 have

01:36:00.640 but

01:36:02.340 we

01:36:02.520 are

01:36:02.660 the

01:36:02.820 new

01:36:03.000 generation

01:36:03.580 and

01:36:04.040 we

01:36:04.260 have

01:36:04.580 forgotten

01:36:05.020 the

01:36:05.260 god

01:36:05.500 of

01:36:05.660 our

01:36:05.840 ancestors

01:36:06.400 we

01:36:06.740 have

01:36:06.880 forgot

01:36:07.140 the

01:36:07.340 prayers

01:36:07.680 the

01:36:07.920 devotion

01:36:08.380 the

01:36:08.740 miracles

01:36:09.340 and

01:36:10.320 we're

01:36:10.580 reaping

01:36:11.020 those

01:36:11.340 consequences

01:36:12.020 but just

01:36:14.260 because the

01:36:14.720 god of our

01:36:15.200 founders

01:36:15.540 worshipped

01:36:16.240 believes in

01:36:18.460 free will

01:36:19.080 we have a

01:36:20.780 choice to

01:36:21.380 make

01:36:21.720 just like

01:36:23.000 the

01:36:23.180 hebrews

01:36:23.660 we can

01:36:24.040 we can

01:36:24.060 decide

01:36:24.760 do we

01:36:25.940 like

01:36:26.280 our

01:36:26.460 new

01:36:26.640 gods

01:36:27.060 or

01:37:15.160 of

01:37:15.420 men

01:37:15.660 and

01:37:16.000 nations

01:37:16.500 has

01:37:17.440 by

01:37:17.700 resolution

01:37:18.180 requested

01:37:18.820 the

01:37:19.060 president

01:37:19.420 to

01:37:19.700 designate

01:37:20.360 and

01:37:20.540 set

01:37:20.820 apart

01:37:21.200 a

01:37:21.780 day

01:37:22.040 for

01:37:22.280 national

01:37:22.940 prayer

01:37:23.520 and

01:37:24.100 humiliation

01:37:24.840 and

01:37:26.420 whereas

01:37:26.740 it

01:37:27.260 is

01:37:27.440 the

01:37:27.640 duty

01:37:27.920 of

01:37:28.160 nations

01:37:28.720 as

01:37:29.200 well

01:37:29.580 as

01:37:29.900 of

01:37:30.120 men

01:37:30.480 to

01:37:31.160 own

01:37:31.840 their

01:37:32.280 dependence

01:37:32.920 upon

01:37:33.500 the

01:37:33.860 overruling

01:37:34.600 power

01:37:34.920 of

01:37:35.160 God

01:37:35.520 to

01:37:36.040 confess

01:37:36.680 their

01:37:36.960 sins

01:37:37.480 and

01:37:37.820 their

01:37:38.020 transgressions

01:37:39.020 in

01:37:39.820 humble

01:37:40.360 sorrow

01:37:41.120 yet

01:37:42.460 with

01:37:42.700 assured

01:37:43.060 hope

01:37:43.460 that

01:37:43.700 genuine

01:37:44.280 repentance

01:37:44.860 will

01:37:45.260 lead

01:37:45.540 to

01:37:45.800 mercy

01:37:46.260 and

01:37:46.840 pardon

01:37:47.280 and

01:37:48.340 to

01:37:48.540 recognize

01:37:49.080 the

01:37:49.300 sublime

01:37:49.700 truths

01:37:50.340 announced

01:37:50.900 in the

01:37:51.220 holy

01:37:51.420 scriptures

01:37:51.820 and

01:37:52.660 proven

01:37:53.100 by

01:37:53.460 all

01:37:54.020 history

01:37:54.600 that

01:37:55.240 those

01:37:55.520 nations

01:37:56.020 only

01:37:56.760 are

01:37:57.160 blessed

01:37:57.660 whose

01:37:58.460 God

01:37:58.880 is

01:37:59.240 the

01:37:59.440 Lord

01:37:59.800 we

01:38:01.660 have

01:38:01.880 been

01:38:02.100 the

01:38:02.300 recipients

01:38:02.720 of the

01:38:03.200 choicest

01:38:03.900 bounties

01:38:04.520 of heaven

01:38:04.960 but we

01:38:06.780 have forgotten

01:38:07.320 God

01:38:07.880 we have

01:38:09.220 forgotten

01:38:09.520 the gracious

01:38:10.080 hand

01:38:10.740 which

01:38:11.040 preserved

01:38:11.760 us

01:38:12.180 in

01:38:12.420 peace

01:38:12.920 multiplied

01:38:14.060 and enriched

01:38:15.140 and strengthened

01:38:16.000 us

01:38:16.500 we

01:38:17.680 have

01:38:17.940 vainly

01:38:18.580 imagined

01:38:19.200 in

01:38:19.560 our

01:38:19.740 deceitfulness

01:38:20.440 of our

01:38:20.900 hearts

01:38:21.280 that all

01:38:22.500 these

01:38:22.820 blessings

01:38:23.300 were produced

01:38:24.040 by some

01:38:24.600 superior wisdom

01:38:25.900 and virtue

01:38:26.660 of our

01:38:27.180 own

01:38:27.620 intoxicated

01:38:30.540 now

01:38:30.880 with unbroken

01:38:31.740 success

01:38:32.600 we have

01:38:33.920 become too

01:38:34.560 self-sufficient

01:38:35.500 to feel

01:38:36.340 the necessity

01:38:37.060 of redeeming

01:38:38.560 and preserving

01:38:39.260 grace

01:38:40.000 too proud

01:38:41.540 to pray

01:38:42.100 to the

01:38:42.420 God

01:38:42.680 that made

01:38:43.260 us

01:38:43.640 it

01:38:45.020 behooves

01:38:45.440 us

01:38:45.660 then

01:38:45.940 to

01:38:46.140 humble

01:38:46.420 ourselves

01:38:46.980 before

01:38:47.500 the

01:38:47.780 offended

01:38:48.360 power

01:38:48.860 to confess

01:38:49.840 our

01:38:50.120 national

01:38:50.600 sins

01:38:51.160 and to

01:38:52.060 pray

01:38:52.360 for

01:38:52.640 clemency

01:38:53.260 and

01:38:53.540 forgiveness

01:38:54.280 Abraham

01:38:55.800 Lincoln

01:38:56.300 I

01:38:58.300 asked

01:38:58.600 the

01:38:58.800 Senate

01:38:59.060 to

01:38:59.920 pass

01:39:00.320 that

01:39:00.880 resolution

01:39:01.760 just

01:39:03.120 what

01:39:04.440 two

01:39:04.720 months

01:39:05.160 into

01:39:05.700 COVID

01:39:06.040 they

01:39:08.040 wouldn't

01:39:08.320 do

01:39:08.500 it

01:39:08.700 today

01:39:11.640 words

01:39:12.040 like

01:39:12.320 humiliation

01:39:13.020 and repentance

01:39:13.880 are completely

01:39:14.760 misunderstood

01:39:15.400 for some

01:39:16.220 they're

01:39:16.780 associated

01:39:17.260 with

01:39:17.620 shame

01:39:18.160 guilt

01:39:18.700 fire

01:39:19.480 brimstone

01:39:20.240 and for

01:39:20.760 others

01:39:21.120 it's just

01:39:22.100 a get out

01:39:22.600 of jail

01:39:22.920 free card

01:39:23.460 on your

01:39:23.680 way back

01:39:24.040 to doing

01:39:24.400 whatever

01:39:24.680 it is

01:39:25.000 you want

01:39:25.340 at the

01:39:25.600 strip club

01:39:26.180 but it

01:39:27.040 is

01:39:27.280 neither

01:39:27.760 one

01:39:28.220 of those

01:39:28.780 things

01:39:29.280 in

01:39:30.380 Hebrew

01:39:30.820 the word

01:39:31.580 for

01:39:31.920 repentance

01:39:32.460 is

01:39:33.080 teshuva

01:39:33.960 which

01:39:34.940 literally

01:39:35.400 means

01:39:35.960 to

01:39:36.680 turn

01:39:37.240 it's

01:39:38.600 about

01:39:38.800 changing

01:39:39.380 what you

01:39:40.040 do

01:39:40.280 just as

01:39:40.720 much

01:39:40.920 as it

01:39:41.180 is

01:39:41.340 about

01:39:41.520 the

01:39:41.680 condition

01:39:42.060 of your

01:39:42.500 heart

01:39:42.860 when we

01:39:43.460 repent

01:39:44.040 we

01:39:44.680 turn

01:39:45.180 around

01:39:45.660 and start

01:39:46.560 over

01:39:46.900 in the

01:39:47.540 other

01:39:48.020 direction

01:39:48.620 the right

01:39:49.180 direction

01:39:49.800 and that's

01:39:51.580 not easy

01:39:52.160 I mean

01:39:53.220 it takes

01:39:54.480 incredible

01:39:55.040 faith

01:39:55.560 to humble

01:39:56.420 yourself

01:39:57.200 and turn

01:39:59.120 and start

01:40:00.140 walking

01:40:00.540 in a

01:40:01.440 different

01:40:01.760 direction

01:40:02.280 it's not

01:40:04.460 easy

01:40:04.800 but it's

01:40:05.400 possible

01:40:05.840 at the

01:40:07.760 beginning of

01:40:08.100 the series

01:40:08.480 I started

01:40:09.040 it by

01:40:09.600 talking about

01:40:10.100 what was

01:40:10.420 happening in

01:40:10.980 France

01:40:11.320 at the

01:40:11.580 revolution

01:40:12.040 but now

01:40:12.880 let me

01:40:13.240 take you

01:40:13.620 to the

01:40:13.980 other

01:40:14.280 example

01:40:14.860 where it

01:40:15.400 went wrong

01:40:16.180 where people

01:40:16.900 said God

01:40:17.680 is dead

01:40:18.340 and filled

01:40:20.220 that void

01:40:21.220 with something

01:40:22.600 else

01:40:22.980 and it was

01:40:23.960 Nazi Germany

01:40:24.800 no matter what

01:40:26.340 you read

01:40:26.960 or what you

01:40:27.440 hear

01:40:27.780 the left

01:40:29.360 has distorted

01:40:30.520 the Nazis 0.71

01:40:32.020 Hitler 0.78

01:40:33.320 was not

01:40:34.680 a Christian

01:40:35.660 but he knew

01:40:37.240 he couldn't

01:40:37.720 take out the

01:40:38.260 Christian

01:40:38.600 church

01:40:39.080 head on

01:40:40.000 so what

01:40:40.960 did he

01:40:41.200 do

01:40:41.540 they

01:40:42.560 infiltrated

01:40:43.480 from the

01:40:44.140 inside

01:40:44.880 eroding

01:40:45.680 its values

01:40:46.620 and its

01:40:47.140 relevance

01:40:47.740 from within

01:40:48.660 over an

01:40:50.780 afternoon

01:40:51.120 lunch in

01:40:51.600 his headquarters

01:40:52.100 in 1942

01:40:52.960 Hitler 0.78

01:40:53.860 said

01:40:54.360 and I

01:40:55.000 quote

01:40:55.680 I do

01:40:57.300 not care

01:40:58.000 in the

01:40:58.360 slightest

01:40:58.800 about the

01:40:59.320 articles of

01:41:00.040 faith

01:41:00.420 the organized

01:41:01.980 lie

01:41:02.660 has to be

01:41:03.340 broken in

01:41:03.840 such a way

01:41:04.260 the state

01:41:05.000 becomes

01:41:05.640 the master

01:41:06.340 you can't

01:41:07.580 rush things

01:41:08.420 it has to

01:41:09.300 rot away

01:41:10.080 like a

01:41:10.640 gangrious

01:41:11.420 limb

01:41:12.580 we need

01:41:13.840 to

01:41:14.040 we need

01:41:14.940 to

01:41:15.180 get to

01:41:15.940 the point

01:41:16.480 where only 1.00

01:41:17.080 idiots 1.00

01:41:17.780 stand behind 1.00

01:41:18.820 the pulpits

01:41:19.520 and only

01:41:20.440 old women 0.99

01:41:21.100 sit in

01:41:21.620 front of

01:41:21.980 it

01:41:22.180 and the

01:41:22.900 healthy

01:41:23.180 youth

01:41:23.660 are with

01:41:24.900 us

01:41:25.340 end

01:41:26.340 quote

01:41:26.760 Hitler 0.78

01:41:28.560 expected

01:41:29.060 Christianity

01:41:29.620 to slowly 0.99

01:41:30.420 suffocate 0.98

01:41:31.120 and die 0.99

01:41:31.840 under the

01:41:32.320 duress

01:41:32.680 of the

01:41:33.000 state

01:41:33.300 and in

01:41:34.580 its own

01:41:35.040 inaction

01:41:35.860 and

01:41:36.320 irrelevance

01:41:37.140 but in

01:41:38.020 the meantime

01:41:38.540 he would

01:41:39.480 use that

01:41:40.200 institution

01:41:40.880 to spread

01:41:41.940 his propaganda

01:41:42.920 took him

01:41:43.340 about six

01:41:43.920 months before

01:41:44.520 they took

01:41:44.900 the picture

01:41:45.680 of Jesus

01:41:46.380 off of the

01:41:47.440 altars in

01:41:48.040 Germany

01:41:48.340 and replaced

01:41:49.400 the savior

01:41:51.000 with the

01:41:52.540 new savior

01:41:53.180 Hitler 0.78

01:41:53.820 unfortunately

01:41:56.720 they spread

01:41:57.500 it mostly

01:41:58.140 thanks to

01:41:58.580 the movement

01:41:58.980 called the

01:41:59.540 German

01:42:00.100 Christians

01:42:00.800 under the

01:42:02.060 influence of

01:42:02.800 the German

01:42:03.160 Christians

01:42:03.620 the church

01:42:04.080 went to

01:42:04.420 work right

01:42:04.840 away

01:42:05.180 to rinse 1.00

01:42:06.480 that Jew 1.00

01:42:07.260 right out

01:42:07.860 of Jesus

01:42:08.440 hair

01:42:09.080 spread the

01:42:10.520 good news

01:42:11.240 of Hitler 0.92

01:42:12.380 German

01:42:14.120 pastor

01:42:14.620 Hermann

01:42:15.200 Grunner

01:42:15.740 preached

01:42:16.260 Hitler 0.78

01:42:16.840 is the

01:42:17.540 way of

01:42:18.040 the spirit

01:42:18.580 and the

01:42:18.940 will of

01:42:19.340 God

01:42:19.700 for the

01:42:20.180 German

01:42:20.500 people

01:42:20.920 to enter

01:42:21.680 the

01:42:22.280 church

01:42:22.560 of

01:42:22.760 Christ

01:42:23.220 what's

01:42:24.480 truly

01:42:24.880 shocking

01:42:25.480 is that

01:42:26.140 the German

01:42:26.540 Christians

01:42:27.060 were at

01:42:27.500 work in

01:42:27.960 the church

01:42:28.380 before

01:42:29.380 Hitler 0.78

01:42:30.020 took

01:42:30.340 power

01:42:30.740 they were

01:42:31.820 priming the

01:42:32.560 congregations

01:42:33.240 by slowly

01:42:34.260 shifting the

01:42:35.480 focus away

01:42:35.980 from God

01:42:36.460 in the

01:42:36.720 Bible

01:42:37.040 and creating

01:42:38.120 a new

01:42:38.560 Aryan 0.68

01:42:39.280 God

01:42:39.740 German

01:42:41.000 Christians

01:42:41.780 insisted

01:42:42.600 that loyalty

01:42:43.360 to the

01:42:43.940 Nazi

01:42:44.320 agenda

01:42:44.800 was at

01:42:45.480 its core

01:42:45.980 Christian

01:42:47.020 and a

01:42:47.460 matter

01:42:47.620 of

01:42:47.840 faith

01:42:48.200 hard

01:42:49.720 to

01:42:49.900 imagine

01:42:50.300 that

01:42:50.940 everyone

01:42:51.260 behind

01:42:51.660 the

01:42:51.840 pulpit

01:42:52.140 or

01:42:52.360 sitting

01:42:52.660 in the

01:42:52.840 pews

01:42:53.060 agreed

01:42:53.480 with

01:42:53.760 this

01:42:54.040 but

01:42:54.380 so

01:42:55.120 many

01:42:55.500 said

01:42:56.240 nothing

01:42:56.740 miraculously

01:42:58.960 some

01:42:59.340 did

01:42:59.620 finally

01:43:00.040 break

01:43:00.280 their

01:43:00.460 silence

01:43:00.900 it was

01:43:01.560 Martin

01:43:01.940 Niemoller

01:43:02.600 he sat

01:43:03.460 back

01:43:03.800 actually

01:43:04.240 as

01:43:04.460 Hitler 0.78

01:43:04.680 installed

01:43:05.200 his

01:43:05.460 dictatorship

01:43:06.020 he

01:43:06.980 didn't

01:43:07.400 intervene

01:43:07.940 until

01:43:08.320 the

01:43:08.540 German

01:43:08.840 Christians

01:43:09.360 started

01:43:09.880 to

01:43:10.140 Aryanize 1.00

01:43:10.940 the

01:43:11.160 Bible

01:43:11.620 and

01:43:12.180 purge

01:43:12.800 the

01:43:13.000 Bible

01:43:13.280 of

01:43:13.500 all

01:43:13.720 Jewish

01:43:14.140 elements

01:43:14.740 including

01:43:15.520 the

01:43:16.540 entire

01:43:17.040 Old

01:43:17.440 Testament

01:43:17.980 see if

01:43:19.220 this

01:43:19.420 sounds

01:43:19.660 familiar

01:43:20.040 they

01:43:20.660 were

01:43:20.980 reimagining

01:43:22.500 the

01:43:22.980 Bible

01:43:23.340 they

01:43:24.180 were

01:43:24.440 reimagining

01:43:25.640 Jesus

01:43:26.280 he

01:43:27.420 became

01:43:27.680 a

01:43:27.840 blonde 0.99

01:43:28.140 haired

01:43:28.540 blue

01:43:28.880 eyed

01:43:29.800 anti

01:43:30.300 semitic

01:43:31.300 Aryan 0.68

01:43:31.940 this

01:43:33.740 is

01:43:33.920 when

01:43:34.100 Niemoller

01:43:34.580 had

01:43:34.880 enough

01:43:35.260 he

01:43:35.780 helped

01:43:36.000 organize

01:43:36.380 a

01:43:36.540 movement

01:43:36.740 called

01:43:37.160 the

01:43:37.500 confessing

01:43:38.260 church

01:43:38.700 which

01:43:39.520 challenged

01:43:40.260 the

01:43:40.560 German

01:43:40.880 Christians

01:43:41.460 and

01:43:41.760 insisted

01:43:42.260 that

01:43:42.560 Nazism 0.87

01:43:43.320 not

01:43:44.140 make

01:43:44.560 demands

01:43:45.160 of

01:43:45.460 the

01:43:45.600 church

01:43:45.840 itself

01:43:46.360 although

01:43:47.520 Niemoller

01:43:48.280 was

01:43:48.560 primarily

01:43:49.100 focused

01:43:49.580 on

01:43:49.800 Nazi

01:43:50.140 intrusion

01:43:50.740 into

01:43:51.100 the

01:43:51.280 church

01:43:51.520 other

01:43:52.400 prominent

01:43:52.820 leaders

01:43:53.240 of

01:43:53.640 the

01:43:53.820 movement

01:43:54.140 called

01:43:54.620 for the

01:43:55.020 followers

01:43:55.380 to

01:43:55.660 challenge

01:43:56.200 Nazism 0.87

01:43:56.940 on

01:43:57.280 every

01:43:57.780 front

01:43:58.280 one

01:43:59.760 of

01:43:59.900 those

01:44:00.080 guys

01:44:00.440 was

01:44:00.900 a

01:44:01.040 man

01:44:01.240 named

01:44:01.660 Dietrich

01:44:02.320 Bonhoeffer

01:44:03.180 Bonhoeffer

01:44:05.040 was the

01:44:05.340 guy who

01:44:05.660 diagnosed

01:44:06.240 the

01:44:06.600 German

01:44:06.860 church

01:44:07.220 and

01:44:07.960 said

01:44:08.140 they

01:44:08.320 suffered

01:44:08.640 from

01:44:08.900 a

01:44:09.180 theology

01:44:10.080 of

01:44:10.500 cheap

01:44:11.060 grace

01:44:11.700 they

01:44:13.100 wanted

01:44:13.400 redemption

01:44:13.980 but

01:44:14.440 not

01:44:14.740 really

01:44:15.160 repentance

01:44:15.680 they

01:44:17.080 wanted

01:44:17.320 to

01:44:17.540 live

01:44:17.740 in

01:44:17.860 any

01:44:18.160 way

01:44:18.320 they

01:44:18.520 wanted

01:44:19.000 and

01:44:19.320 wear

01:44:19.560 the

01:44:19.800 covering

01:44:20.260 of

01:44:20.800 God

01:44:21.260 like

01:44:21.960 a

01:44:22.180 cheap

01:44:22.580 rain

01:44:23.160 poncho

01:44:23.800 then

01:44:26.180 the

01:44:26.620 third

01:44:26.900 reich

01:44:27.240 collapsed

01:44:28.000 and the

01:44:28.680 gods

01:44:29.080 of the

01:44:29.460 hot

01:44:29.700 copybook

01:44:30.260 headings

01:44:30.740 returned

01:44:31.300 and the

01:44:33.020 church

01:44:33.260 had no

01:44:33.780 idea

01:44:34.280 how to

01:44:34.700 pick up

01:44:35.040 the

01:44:35.200 pieces

01:44:35.680 reconstruction

01:44:41.140 quickly turned

01:44:42.860 punitive

01:44:43.360 towards

01:44:43.800 Germany

01:44:44.340 life for

01:44:45.240 the Germans

01:44:45.680 under

01:44:45.980 Hitler 0.78

01:44:46.280 was 0.96

01:44:46.920 hell

01:44:47.420 but the

01:44:48.320 hell

01:44:48.500 continued

01:44:49.120 after his

01:44:49.940 failure

01:44:50.380 the

01:44:51.100 German

01:44:51.380 people

01:44:51.860 had

01:44:52.940 been

01:44:53.360 the

01:44:53.600 victims

01:44:53.980 of

01:44:54.360 unprecedented

01:44:55.400 psychological

01:44:56.320 capture

01:44:57.020 and for

01:44:58.180 those who

01:44:58.560 woke up

01:44:59.240 they were

01:44:59.860 not only

01:45:00.280 left with

01:45:00.640 the collapse

01:45:01.040 of their

01:45:01.340 nation

01:45:01.660 but they

01:45:02.000 were

01:45:02.160 shouldering

01:45:02.720 the most

01:45:03.180 unbearable

01:45:04.040 guilt

01:45:04.680 the

01:45:05.940 international

01:45:06.400 church

01:45:06.780 leaders

01:45:07.200 had a

01:45:07.980 decision

01:45:08.320 to make

01:45:08.820 would they

01:45:09.800 ostracize

01:45:10.780 the Germans

01:45:11.480 as their

01:45:12.720 political

01:45:13.220 counterparts

01:45:14.280 had

01:45:14.760 should

01:45:15.800 the

01:45:15.980 people

01:45:16.220 of

01:45:16.440 God

01:45:16.820 handle

01:45:17.560 these

01:45:18.480 obscene

01:45:19.240 circumstances

01:45:20.200 the same

01:45:20.940 way or

01:45:21.380 differently

01:45:21.840 the church

01:45:23.800 like every

01:45:24.240 German

01:45:24.640 needed a

01:45:25.740 new

01:45:25.920 start

01:45:26.400 so the

01:45:27.000 believers

01:45:27.340 did the

01:45:28.140 only thing

01:45:28.700 they knew

01:45:29.280 would work

01:45:30.000 after the

01:45:31.380 third Reich 0.94

01:45:31.900 collapsed

01:45:32.680 the gathering

01:45:33.540 of Christians

01:45:34.180 took place

01:45:34.740 October 19th

01:45:35.900 1941

01:45:36.460 in Stuttgart

01:45:37.280 Germany

01:45:37.840 at the

01:45:38.860 gathering

01:45:39.420 Bonhoeffer

01:45:40.400 was praised

01:45:41.060 for his

01:45:41.580 unwavering

01:45:42.560 faith

01:45:43.140 he wasn't

01:45:43.840 there

01:45:44.120 he had

01:45:44.620 just months

01:45:46.120 before been

01:45:46.660 executed

01:45:47.320 in a 0.84

01:45:48.100 concentration

01:45:48.540 camp

01:45:49.060 pastor

01:45:49.580 Niemoller

01:45:50.160 preached

01:45:50.560 that the

01:45:50.900 Nazis

01:45:51.220 alone

01:45:51.680 were not

01:45:52.320 to blame

01:45:52.940 but the

01:45:53.760 church

01:45:54.100 itself

01:45:54.760 not because

01:45:55.720 they were

01:45:56.040 Christian

01:45:56.460 but because

01:45:57.480 they had

01:45:58.360 abandoned

01:45:59.800 their

01:46:00.480 Christianity

01:46:01.160 would the

01:46:02.900 Nazis have

01:46:03.480 been able to

01:46:03.960 do what

01:46:04.320 they had

01:46:04.600 done if

01:46:04.960 church

01:46:05.260 members had

01:46:05.840 truly been

01:46:06.780 faithful

01:46:07.180 Christians

01:46:07.740 from this

01:46:09.440 event sprang

01:46:10.140 forth the

01:46:10.720 Stuttgart

01:46:11.440 declaration of

01:46:12.480 guilt on

01:46:13.120 behalf of the

01:46:13.700 church and

01:46:14.120 here's what

01:46:14.480 it said

01:46:14.880 with great

01:46:15.900 pain we

01:46:16.660 say

01:46:17.100 by us

01:46:18.620 infinite

01:46:19.220 wrong was

01:46:20.000 brought over

01:46:20.740 many peoples

01:46:21.660 and countries

01:46:22.380 we did

01:46:23.560 fight for

01:46:24.220 long years

01:46:24.980 in the name

01:46:25.540 of Jesus

01:46:25.960 Christ against

01:46:26.880 the mentality

01:46:27.640 that found

01:46:28.660 its awful

01:46:29.440 expression in

01:46:30.840 the national

01:46:31.540 socialist regime

01:46:32.780 of violence

01:46:33.700 but we

01:46:34.860 accuse ourselves

01:46:35.940 for not

01:46:36.480 standing to

01:46:37.340 our beliefs

01:46:37.840 more courageously

01:46:39.040 for not

01:46:39.820 praying more

01:46:40.560 faithfully

01:46:41.120 for not

01:46:41.520 believing more

01:46:42.320 joyously

01:46:42.900 and for not

01:46:43.980 loving more

01:46:44.840 ardently

01:46:45.480 following the

01:46:47.740 collapse of

01:46:48.180 Hitler's regime 0.87

01:46:48.900 the faithful

01:46:49.400 Germans professed

01:46:50.680 that they had

01:46:51.360 failed as a

01:46:52.320 body of

01:46:52.700 believers

01:46:53.160 their failure

01:46:55.120 their failure

01:46:58.060 was

01:46:58.760 was extraordinary

01:47:01.600 but not so

01:47:06.220 much because

01:47:07.620 this happens

01:47:08.160 time and

01:47:08.580 time again

01:47:09.120 we all fail

01:47:11.540 on extreme

01:47:12.300 levels

01:47:12.800 more than

01:47:13.520 we care

01:47:13.940 to face

01:47:14.540 but what

01:47:16.400 was extraordinary

01:47:17.200 was their

01:47:17.760 ability to

01:47:18.460 look at

01:47:18.880 their failure

01:47:19.420 in the face

01:47:20.180 and choose

01:47:20.780 to change

01:47:21.360 they just

01:47:21.980 did it

01:47:22.500 too late

01:47:23.260 the Christians

01:47:25.440 of Germany

01:47:25.980 were called

01:47:26.440 to repent

01:47:26.940 on their

01:47:27.280 knees

01:47:27.660 and

01:47:28.020 miraculously

01:47:28.800 some

01:47:29.260 answered

01:47:29.780 that call

01:47:30.460 here's why

01:47:34.320 I wanted

01:47:36.140 to end

01:47:36.560 this series

01:47:37.300 with this

01:47:38.080 right now

01:47:41.040 we have

01:47:42.340 bastardized

01:47:44.660 our faiths

01:47:46.160 our faiths

01:47:48.560 are silent

01:47:49.540 some have

01:47:50.200 been infiltrated

01:47:51.240 by wokeness

01:47:52.540 as we told you

01:47:54.340 yesterday

01:47:54.740 wokeness

01:47:55.860 is a cult

01:47:56.800 it is a

01:47:59.260 religious

01:47:59.820 movement

01:48:00.660 to a

01:48:02.300 false

01:48:02.660 god

01:48:03.240 a god

01:48:07.500 that puts

01:48:07.980 you at

01:48:08.840 the center

01:48:09.300 of the

01:48:09.760 universe

01:48:10.340 but the

01:48:11.100 universe

01:48:11.600 is meaningless

01:48:12.840 your truth

01:48:15.960 not the

01:48:16.440 truth

01:48:16.920 your truth

01:48:17.880 but that

01:48:18.640 truth is

01:48:19.220 worth

01:48:19.460 nothing

01:48:20.080 are we

01:48:23.180 going to

01:48:23.700 go down

01:48:24.400 in history

01:48:25.260 as a

01:48:26.500 group of

01:48:26.940 people that

01:48:27.520 failed to

01:48:28.480 see the

01:48:30.260 answers

01:48:30.740 even though

01:48:32.000 it was

01:48:32.460 staring them

01:48:33.180 in the

01:48:33.620 face

01:48:34.040 are we

01:48:37.140 really

01:48:37.500 prepared to

01:48:38.440 write our

01:48:39.320 declaration of

01:48:40.400 guilt in

01:48:41.060 the future

01:48:41.540 we should

01:48:42.860 start preparing

01:48:43.480 for it

01:48:43.860 now

01:48:44.260 people of

01:48:46.880 god do

01:48:47.260 you want

01:48:47.720 to have to

01:48:48.220 apologize for

01:48:49.000 watching evil

01:48:50.020 rise in

01:48:51.500 our nations

01:48:52.300 all across

01:48:52.900 the world

01:48:53.300 and say

01:48:53.980 nothing

01:48:54.520 religious

01:48:56.820 leaders

01:48:57.440 can you

01:48:58.940 continue to

01:48:59.520 be silent

01:49:00.100 as god

01:49:00.800 and goodness

01:49:01.380 is attacked

01:49:02.120 from all

01:49:02.900 angles

01:49:03.500 is your

01:49:06.720 job

01:49:07.120 really

01:49:07.800 is that

01:49:10.680 really what

01:49:11.160 you worship

01:49:11.840 or will

01:49:13.740 you do

01:49:14.500 the things

01:49:15.880 that

01:49:16.140 Niemoller

01:49:16.660 did or

01:49:17.180 the things

01:49:17.760 that

01:49:18.340 Bonhoeffer

01:49:18.940 did

01:49:19.320 America

01:49:22.480 have we

01:49:22.920 hit rock

01:49:23.340 bottom

01:49:23.640 yet

01:49:23.900 please

01:49:24.280 tell me

01:49:24.600 we have

01:49:25.060 I'm an

01:49:27.980 alcoholic

01:49:28.440 and my

01:49:28.840 mother

01:49:29.160 my mother

01:49:30.760 committed

01:49:31.080 suicide

01:49:31.700 she was

01:49:32.580 also an

01:49:33.000 alcoholic

01:49:33.520 addicted to

01:49:34.380 prescription

01:49:34.820 drugs as

01:49:35.500 well

01:49:35.800 her bottom

01:49:37.140 was death

01:49:37.840 and you

01:49:39.880 can't stop

01:49:40.500 anybody

01:49:40.900 from

01:49:41.340 I mean

01:49:42.020 if you're

01:49:42.600 suicidal

01:49:43.200 and that's

01:49:44.760 your bottom

01:49:45.220 and you're

01:49:45.800 hooked on

01:49:47.220 drugs or

01:49:47.700 whatever

01:49:48.040 and that's

01:49:48.620 your bottom

01:49:49.040 nobody can

01:49:49.580 stop you

01:49:50.180 but I hope

01:49:52.720 our bottom

01:49:53.100 is not

01:49:53.500 that

01:49:53.780 are we

01:49:55.540 there yet

01:49:56.200 because this

01:49:57.340 isn't working

01:49:57.960 and everybody

01:49:58.560 knows what

01:49:59.400 we're doing

01:49:59.760 right now

01:50:00.180 is not

01:50:00.680 working

01:50:01.180 conservatives

01:50:03.340 are supposed

01:50:03.900 to conserve

01:50:04.860 the best

01:50:05.800 ideas from

01:50:06.680 the past

01:50:07.020 not all

01:50:07.480 of it

01:50:07.720 just the

01:50:08.240 best parts

01:50:09.080 have we

01:50:09.740 done that

01:50:10.260 if we

01:50:13.360 continue on

01:50:13.960 this past

01:50:14.560 path of

01:50:15.620 least

01:50:15.980 resistance

01:50:16.720 of

01:50:17.120 non

01:50:17.680 action

01:50:18.280 I

01:50:20.140 shudder to

01:50:20.720 think what

01:50:21.120 our letter

01:50:21.540 of apology

01:50:22.120 will sound

01:50:22.780 like

01:50:23.140 I wrote

01:50:25.660 one

01:50:26.040 just to

01:50:27.440 have it

01:50:27.760 handy

01:50:28.200 I

01:50:30.640 apologize

01:50:31.140 for standing

01:50:32.040 by why

01:50:32.720 millions of

01:50:33.660 unborn babies

01:50:34.420 are slaughtered 0.69

01:50:35.360 I said

01:50:36.700 nothing

01:50:37.340 when

01:50:38.040 activists

01:50:38.780 tried to

01:50:39.560 re-segregate

01:50:40.620 our nation

01:50:41.300 I even

01:50:42.600 helped

01:50:43.040 sometimes

01:50:43.800 Israel

01:50:45.160 was slandered

01:50:46.180 and attacked

01:50:46.840 and I

01:50:47.200 ignored it

01:50:47.860 I didn't

01:50:49.160 protest

01:50:49.760 when my

01:50:50.380 church

01:50:51.060 was shut

01:50:51.600 down

01:50:52.000 but the

01:50:52.560 liquor store

01:50:53.220 was allowed

01:50:53.700 to open

01:50:54.220 I was

01:50:55.660 apathetic

01:50:56.360 to the

01:50:56.700 government

01:50:57.000 trampling

01:50:57.760 on my

01:50:58.300 congregation's

01:50:59.140 rights

01:50:59.560 I couldn't

01:51:01.040 really be

01:51:01.480 bothered to

01:51:02.060 comment as

01:51:02.680 young people

01:51:03.360 permanently

01:51:04.440 mutilated

01:51:05.320 themselves

01:51:05.980 after being

01:51:07.040 told that

01:51:07.460 they were

01:51:07.780 born in

01:51:08.400 the wrong

01:51:08.760 body

01:51:09.220 I

01:51:10.880 outwardly

01:51:11.540 participated

01:51:12.260 in every

01:51:12.960 destructive

01:51:13.580 social movement

01:51:14.500 to protect

01:51:15.080 myself

01:51:15.620 I leaned

01:51:17.800 on my

01:51:18.100 own

01:51:18.320 understanding

01:51:18.940 I acted

01:51:19.720 in my

01:51:20.140 own

01:51:20.380 self

01:51:20.720 interest

01:51:21.200 I did

01:51:22.660 what everybody

01:51:23.160 else was

01:51:23.740 doing

01:51:24.100 I didn't

01:51:25.900 have the

01:51:26.260 faith

01:51:26.640 to resist

01:51:27.680 I lacked

01:51:29.280 the spiritual

01:51:29.980 countenance

01:51:31.400 and because

01:51:32.400 of my

01:51:32.860 inaction

01:51:33.400 the body

01:51:34.400 of God

01:51:35.060 became

01:51:35.760 crippled 1.00

01:51:36.320 the people

01:51:37.640 lived without

01:51:38.520 love and

01:51:39.260 died without

01:51:39.940 hope

01:51:40.340 I was not

01:51:42.260 part of the

01:51:43.040 Calvary when

01:51:44.020 it finally

01:51:44.480 came

01:51:44.880 I apologize

01:51:46.980 and may God

01:51:48.200 forgive me

01:51:49.000 I don't want

01:51:51.800 to ever

01:51:52.320 ever have to

01:51:53.620 say those

01:51:54.440 words

01:51:55.500 and mean

01:51:56.640 them

01:51:56.980 maybe you

01:51:59.480 should write

01:51:59.840 yours today

01:52:00.660 and then

01:52:02.820 do what

01:52:03.900 Abraham Lincoln

01:52:04.580 said

01:52:05.080 become humble

01:52:09.020 know who

01:52:11.600 the real

01:52:12.460 power comes

01:52:13.340 from

01:52:13.740 repent

01:52:15.160 because

01:52:16.480 that's

01:52:17.220 what

01:52:17.380 Easter

01:52:17.860 is

01:52:18.160 all

01:52:18.340 about

01:52:18.660 this

01:52:19.700 is

01:52:20.040 the

01:52:20.240 most

01:52:20.540 holy

01:52:21.020 holiday

01:52:21.520 of all

01:52:22.000 holidays

01:52:22.560 for

01:52:22.820 Christians

01:52:23.280 it's

01:52:24.000 not

01:52:24.180 Christmas

01:52:24.700 great

01:52:26.460 the baby

01:52:26.860 was born

01:52:27.540 prophecy

01:52:28.160 fulfilled

01:52:28.640 that's

01:52:28.960 great

01:52:29.340 but

01:52:31.000 what

01:52:31.380 he

01:52:31.640 did

01:52:32.040 33

01:52:32.620 years

01:52:33.120 later

01:52:33.580 in

01:52:35.180 giving

01:52:35.500 us

01:52:35.780 the

01:52:35.960 opportunity

01:52:36.460 to

01:52:36.900 begin

01:52:37.520 again

01:52:38.240 but

01:52:39.060 we

01:52:39.480 as

01:52:39.860 an

01:52:40.060 individual

01:52:40.560 we

01:52:41.020 as

01:52:41.300 a

01:52:41.440 country

01:52:41.780 cannot

01:52:42.380 begin

01:52:43.240 again

01:52:43.840 unless

01:52:44.720 we

01:52:45.380 are

01:52:45.660 humbled

01:52:46.280 and

01:52:46.620 have

01:52:46.820 hit

01:52:47.100 our

01:52:49.120 my

01:52:51.900 way

01:52:52.320 has

01:52:53.040 not

01:52:53.580 been

01:52:53.920 the

01:52:54.140 right

01:52:54.380 way

01:54:06.140 looking

01:54:06.420 at

01:54:07.500 God

01:54:07.920 we're

01:54:09.640 not

01:54:10.000 it's

01:54:10.820 not

01:54:10.980 that we

01:54:11.260 don't

01:54:11.540 have

01:54:11.740 enough

01:54:11.980 religion

01:54:12.360 we

01:54:12.880 have

01:54:13.460 more

01:54:14.320 than

01:54:14.580 enough

01:54:14.860 religion

01:54:15.260 it's

01:54:15.900 just

01:54:16.320 a

01:54:16.820 false

01:54:17.060 God

01:54:17.440 it's

01:54:17.720 wokeness

01:54:18.360 and

01:54:20.140 we've

01:54:21.380 got

01:54:21.560 to

01:54:21.800 change

01:54:22.540 that

01:54:23.100 the

01:54:23.600 big

01:54:23.840 problem

01:54:24.340 here

01:54:24.660 on

01:54:25.180 a

01:54:26.020 great

01:54:26.300 awakening

01:54:26.740 is

01:54:27.420 our

01:54:27.800 churches

01:54:28.140 are

01:54:28.380 asleep

01:54:28.840 do

01:54:30.000 great

01:54:30.280 awakenings

01:54:30.800 happen

01:54:31.240 when

01:54:32.000 are

01:54:33.520 they

01:54:33.660 led

01:54:33.900 by

01:54:34.060 the

01:54:34.240 church

01:54:34.600 or

01:54:35.080 are

01:54:35.180 they

01:54:35.280 led

01:54:35.500 by

01:54:35.660 the

01:54:35.800 people

01:54:36.140 it's

01:54:37.260 interesting

01:54:37.660 they're

01:54:37.900 led

01:54:38.080 by

01:54:38.260 individuals

01:54:38.840 usually

01:54:39.300 and

01:54:39.560 the

01:54:39.700 church

01:54:39.980 is

01:54:40.180 usually

01:54:40.500 the

01:54:40.780 one

01:54:41.140 who

01:54:41.280 opposes

01:54:41.800 the

01:54:42.060 most

01:54:42.440 isn't

01:54:42.940 that

01:54:43.120 amazing

01:54:43.340 and so

01:54:43.780 like

01:54:44.220 you take

01:54:44.540 a

01:54:44.680 George

01:54:44.900 Woodfield

01:54:45.340 I mean

01:54:45.600 he is

01:54:45.920 a

01:54:46.040 minister

01:54:46.320 but

01:54:47.380 he

01:54:47.860 preached

01:54:48.320 outside

01:54:48.820 primarily

01:54:49.420 first

01:54:49.940 because

01:54:50.440 nobody

01:54:50.780 let him

01:54:51.140 inside

01:54:51.540 and so

01:54:52.420 he

01:54:52.760 needed

01:54:52.980 to

01:54:53.100 preach

01:54:53.280 outside

01:54:53.580 later

01:54:53.920 because

01:54:54.200 he

01:54:54.320 had

01:54:54.500 10

01:54:54.800 20

01:54:55.080 thousand

01:54:55.580 of

01:54:55.740 crowds

01:54:56.120 so

01:54:56.340 he

01:54:56.420 needed

01:54:56.640 something

01:54:56.980 but

01:54:57.600 at

01:54:59.000 the

01:54:59.180 first

01:54:59.560 man

01:55:00.000 they

01:55:00.240 hated

01:55:00.540 him

01:55:00.800 and

01:55:00.980 they

01:55:01.100 opposed

01:55:01.520 him

01:55:01.940 and

01:55:02.220 the

01:55:02.380 same

01:55:02.560 with

01:55:02.740 Charles

01:55:03.040 Finney

01:55:03.360 in the

01:55:03.560 second

01:55:03.780 great

01:55:04.080 awakening

01:55:04.460 the

01:55:04.680 same

01:55:04.880 with

01:55:05.040 Lorenzo

01:55:05.480 Dall

01:55:05.780 and

01:55:05.940 Charles

01:55:06.240 Clay

01:55:06.500 and

01:55:06.620 all

01:55:06.700 these

01:55:06.880 awakenings

01:55:07.660 are

01:55:07.840 always

01:55:08.380 the

01:55:08.600 first

01:55:08.880 one

01:55:09.140 led

01:55:09.460 to

01:55:09.820 the

01:55:10.280 American

01:55:10.800 revolution

01:55:11.360 yeah

01:55:13.080 it led

01:55:13.680 to it

01:55:14.060 and it's

01:55:14.700 really

01:55:14.940 kind of

01:55:15.340 interesting

01:55:15.760 it gave

01:55:16.340 what it

01:55:17.080 really did

01:55:17.720 was it

01:55:18.080 gave

01:55:18.240 people

01:55:18.580 backbone

01:55:26.340 anything

01:55:26.780 they

01:55:27.040 just

01:55:27.280 finally

01:55:27.720 got

01:55:27.940 some

01:55:28.120 courage

01:55:28.600 and

01:55:28.820 had

01:55:29.100 some

01:55:29.300 convictions

01:55:29.780 and stood

01:55:30.280 for it

01:55:30.740 because

01:55:31.060 I think

01:55:31.760 most people

01:55:32.320 and that's

01:55:32.760 the problem

01:55:33.280 I think

01:55:33.760 with most

01:55:34.220 churches

01:55:34.560 is I

01:55:35.620 do not

01:55:36.400 want a

01:55:37.200 church

01:55:37.440 to tell

01:55:37.920 me

01:55:38.140 who to

01:55:38.640 vote

01:55:38.840 for

01:55:39.120 I

01:55:39.960 do

01:55:40.340 want

01:55:40.860 information

01:55:42.560 I do

01:55:43.400 want

01:55:43.840 my

01:55:44.160 church

01:55:44.540 to say

01:55:45.160 look

01:55:45.940 here's

01:55:46.820 what the

01:55:47.100 scriptures

01:55:47.360 say

01:55:47.740 which

01:55:48.060 leads

01:55:48.360 you

01:55:48.520 to

01:55:48.760 this

01:55:49.280 value

01:55:49.880 how

01:55:51.080 do

01:55:51.260 you

01:55:51.400 apply

01:55:51.720 that

01:55:52.020 value

01:55:52.440 across

01:55:52.900 the

01:55:53.080 board

01:55:53.400 is

01:55:53.940 this

01:55:54.320 person

01:55:55.000 and you

01:55:55.680 don't

01:55:55.800 even

01:55:55.940 have to

01:55:56.200 get into

01:55:56.540 the

01:55:56.740 people's

01:55:57.360 names

01:55:57.620 are

01:55:58.140 these

01:55:58.620 people

01:55:59.060 following

01:55:59.680 these

01:56:00.220 values

01:56:00.800 yeah

01:56:01.400 you

01:56:01.920 really

01:56:02.160 want

01:56:02.360 the

01:56:02.500 church

01:56:02.720 as

01:56:03.100 you're

01:56:03.260 saying

01:56:03.480 right

01:56:03.660 there

01:56:03.920 to

01:56:04.260 help

01:56:05.000 you

01:56:05.180 think

01:56:05.480 through

01:56:05.700 things

01:56:06.080 to

01:56:06.260 really

01:56:06.480 give

01:56:06.720 you

01:56:06.820 a

01:56:06.980 thinking

01:56:07.220 process

01:56:07.840 now

01:56:08.380 I'm

01:56:08.540 going to

01:56:08.740 say

01:56:09.160 I don't

01:56:09.460 have

01:56:09.740 any

01:56:09.980 problem

01:56:10.260 at all

01:56:10.540 if the

01:56:10.860 church

01:56:11.060 wants to

01:56:11.360 tell me

01:56:11.620 who to

01:56:11.880 vote

01:56:12.040 for

01:56:12.280 and I

01:56:12.920 do

01:56:13.060 that

01:56:13.220 from a

01:56:13.520 constitutional

01:56:14.000 standpoint

01:56:14.460 because I

01:56:14.860 don't want

01:56:15.100 a church

01:56:15.380 thinking it

01:56:15.840 has less

01:56:16.280 rights

01:56:16.560 than a

01:56:16.800 union

01:56:17.000 I'm

01:56:17.840 saying

01:56:18.200 as my

01:56:18.880 personal

01:56:19.520 view

01:56:20.340 is

01:56:20.600 you know

01:56:21.360 I just

01:56:22.000 gosh I

01:56:22.900 just don't

01:56:23.180 want

01:56:23.300 everything

01:56:23.540 to be

01:56:23.840 political

01:56:24.240 however

01:56:24.780 I do

01:56:25.920 want

01:56:26.260 them

01:56:26.440 to do

01:56:27.100 and I'm

01:56:27.680 I want

01:56:28.140 clarity

01:56:28.500 I want

01:56:28.800 clarity

01:56:29.140 and boldness

01:56:29.680 from

01:56:29.860 right

01:56:30.180 they

01:56:30.540 preached

01:56:31.800 about

01:56:32.480 abortion

01:56:33.340 they preached

01:56:34.440 about

01:56:35.080 I mean

01:56:36.280 most of

01:56:36.860 the stuff

01:56:37.400 that is

01:56:37.780 in our

01:56:38.160 constitution

01:56:38.740 is directly

01:56:40.160 from

01:56:40.520 scripture

01:56:40.960 or

01:56:41.740 directly

01:56:42.760 from

01:56:43.220 preachers

01:56:44.240 that had

01:56:44.960 made

01:56:45.360 that concept

01:56:46.460 popular

01:56:47.300 because it

01:56:47.860 is in

01:56:48.220 the Bible

01:56:48.460 well if

01:56:48.780 you take

01:56:49.060 the

01:56:49.220 Declaration

01:56:49.720 of

01:56:49.940 Independence 0.62

01:56:50.300 historians

01:56:50.980 have

01:56:51.180 documented

01:56:51.660 that

01:56:51.880 every

01:56:52.240 single

01:56:52.700 right

01:56:53.280 set forth

01:56:54.340 in the

01:56:54.660 Declaration

01:56:55.120 of

01:56:55.320 Independence 0.62

01:56:55.720 had been

01:56:56.560 preached

01:56:56.920 from the

01:56:57.500 American

01:56:57.840 pulpit

01:56:58.460 by

01:56:58.920 1763

01:56:59.840 so 15

01:57:00.960 years

01:57:01.160 before the

01:57:01.600 declaration

01:57:02.040 every

01:57:02.620 right

01:57:02.960 in the

01:57:03.280 declaration

01:57:03.740 already

01:57:04.040 been

01:57:04.220 covered

01:57:04.480 in the

01:57:04.680 pulpit

01:57:05.000 and that's

01:57:05.740 why

01:57:05.880 John Adams

01:57:06.500 says

01:57:06.820 our

01:57:07.100 pulpits

01:57:07.560 have

01:57:07.760 thundered

01:57:08.220 and he

01:57:08.700 listed

01:57:09.160 a bunch

01:57:09.480 of

01:57:09.600 preachers

01:57:09.940 by name

01:57:10.560 who were

01:57:11.220 very

01:57:11.440 specific

01:57:11.880 on that

01:57:12.360 you take

01:57:12.780 any

01:57:13.080 right

01:57:13.360 in the

01:57:13.580 declaration

01:57:14.040 it was

01:57:17.860 we feel

01:57:18.300 like our

01:57:19.400 churches

01:57:19.740 are so

01:57:20.180 empty

01:57:20.500 oh they

01:57:21.040 are empty

01:57:21.520 it's

01:57:22.340 interesting

01:57:22.760 if you

01:57:23.740 and I'm

01:57:24.560 speaking as

01:57:25.040 a Christian

01:57:25.460 and we

01:57:25.900 know lots

01:57:26.400 of other

01:57:26.660 faiths

01:57:27.040 great

01:57:27.360 speaking as

01:57:28.620 a Christian

01:57:29.140 in 19

01:57:29.900 or in

01:57:30.640 the year

01:57:30.860 2000

01:57:31.460 85%

01:57:32.700 of Americans

01:57:33.460 professed to

01:57:34.260 be Christians

01:57:34.840 that's their

01:57:35.420 self-identification

01:57:36.640 last year

01:57:37.720 it was 65%

01:57:38.940 so it's a

01:57:39.420 20% drop

01:57:40.280 in 20 years

01:57:40.980 and when

01:57:42.300 you poll

01:57:43.080 the people

01:57:43.580 who left

01:57:44.080 the church

01:57:44.600 and say

01:57:45.040 why did

01:57:45.520 you leave

01:57:45.980 two out of

01:57:46.920 three said

01:57:47.400 because they

01:57:47.800 have no

01:57:48.160 relevancy

01:57:48.700 I get

01:57:49.100 nothing

01:57:49.540 that I

01:57:50.000 can live

01:57:50.400 with on

01:57:50.740 a daily

01:57:51.080 basis

01:57:51.520 and I

01:57:52.800 totally

01:57:53.340 agree

01:57:53.620 with that

01:57:53.960 I mean

01:57:54.180 when I

01:57:54.420 look back

01:57:54.960 at what

01:57:55.440 the pastors

01:57:56.140 did

01:57:56.420 and I

01:57:57.240 brought in

01:57:57.680 a bunch

01:57:57.940 of stuff

01:57:58.280 out of

01:57:58.660 the collection

01:57:59.100 and these

01:58:00.200 are all

01:58:00.600 sermons

01:58:00.940 and these

01:58:02.460 are all

01:58:02.700 sermons

01:58:02.900 and by the

01:58:03.300 way

01:58:03.440 these are

01:58:03.860 all sermons

01:58:04.320 that were

01:58:04.600 preached

01:58:04.920 in times

01:58:05.600 of what

01:58:06.280 we would

01:58:06.580 call

01:58:06.740 revival

01:58:07.260 the first

01:58:07.740 or the

01:58:07.960 second

01:58:08.160 great

01:58:08.400 awakening

01:58:08.760 and what

01:58:09.760 you'll

01:58:09.940 find

01:58:10.260 is what

01:58:10.840 they

01:58:11.040 connected

01:58:11.580 the dots

01:58:12.060 on was

01:58:12.400 relevancy

01:58:13.020 and you

01:58:13.800 can just

01:58:14.380 almost not

01:58:15.560 find a

01:58:16.060 single

01:58:16.340 subject

01:58:16.860 that they

01:58:17.220 didn't

01:58:17.480 cover

01:58:17.800 from the

01:58:18.100 pulpit

01:58:18.500 even if

01:58:19.420 it was

01:58:19.640 super

01:58:19.900 controversial

01:58:20.440 and so

01:58:21.800 you know

01:58:22.120 if I

01:58:22.360 just

01:58:22.580 I'll try

01:58:23.140 to read

01:58:23.700 through

01:58:23.840 some of

01:58:24.180 these

01:58:24.320 so

01:58:24.560 here's

01:58:25.720 a history

01:58:26.160 sermon

01:58:26.460 which I

01:58:26.840 think is

01:58:27.080 cool

01:58:27.320 this is a

01:58:27.760 sermon

01:58:27.980 about

01:58:28.280 pilgrims

01:58:28.760 and what

01:58:28.960 the pilgrims

01:58:29.380 contributed

01:58:29.860 we haven't

01:58:30.620 had that

01:58:31.000 we need

01:58:31.300 that since

01:58:31.620 we got

01:58:31.840 1619

01:58:32.480 here's a

01:58:33.580 sermon

01:58:33.900 by Charles

01:58:34.660 Chauncey

01:58:35.120 who's one

01:58:35.500 of John

01:58:35.800 Adam's

01:58:36.140 favorite

01:58:36.420 preachers

01:58:36.900 about the

01:58:37.620 Boston

01:58:37.900 Massacre

01:58:38.400 so this

01:58:39.220 is in the

01:58:39.620 news

01:58:39.940 and this

01:58:40.620 is preached

01:58:41.060 a couple

01:58:42.300 weeks

01:58:42.620 afterwards

01:58:43.060 this is

01:58:44.000 called a

01:58:44.340 century

01:58:44.620 sermon

01:58:45.020 this is

01:58:45.380 looking at

01:58:45.840 the last

01:58:46.340 history

01:58:46.800 what's

01:58:47.160 happened

01:58:47.420 in the

01:58:47.620 country

01:58:47.840 in the

01:58:48.000 last

01:58:48.140 century

01:58:48.280 so we

01:58:48.780 were big

01:58:49.140 into history

01:58:49.580 so this

01:58:50.220 is the

01:58:50.380 last

01:58:50.620 century

01:58:51.000 this is a

01:58:52.080 sermon

01:58:52.320 on the

01:58:52.640 moral view

01:58:53.260 of railroads

01:58:54.140 so

01:58:55.020 moral view

01:58:56.380 of railroads

01:58:57.900 yeah

01:58:58.480 because what

01:58:59.040 he did

01:58:59.460 is okay

01:58:59.840 what are the

01:59:00.280 biblical

01:59:00.540 principles

01:59:01.020 of transportation

01:59:01.800 in the

01:59:02.080 bible

01:59:02.380 let's see

01:59:02.660 what the

01:59:02.840 bible

01:59:03.040 says

01:59:03.280 about

01:59:03.460 transportation

01:59:04.440 the

01:59:04.520 new

01:59:05.780 it fit

01:59:06.020 with the

01:59:06.240 principles

01:59:06.580 so he

01:59:07.200 goes into

01:59:07.480 principles

01:59:07.860 of

01:59:08.060 transportation

01:59:08.640 and then

01:59:09.020 says

01:59:09.180 was it

01:59:09.480 for or

01:59:10.160 against

01:59:10.520 railroads

01:59:11.080 actually he

01:59:13.580 saw very

01:59:14.040 positive things

01:59:14.700 that could 0.68

01:59:15.120 come from

01:59:15.560 railroads

02:02:08.640 things

02:02:09.000 we are

02:02:09.700 not

02:02:10.100 and I

02:02:10.440 think

02:02:10.680 this

02:02:11.000 this is

02:02:11.440 my biggest

02:02:11.980 problem

02:02:12.340 with faith

02:02:13.620 right now

02:02:13.920 going to

02:02:14.320 churches

02:02:14.660 is

02:02:15.740 they're

02:02:16.840 not

02:02:17.280 we have

02:02:18.240 in my

02:02:18.880 lifetime

02:02:19.260 I have

02:02:20.580 never seen

02:02:21.300 a time

02:02:21.780 where there

02:02:22.600 are more

02:02:23.420 unanswered

02:02:24.840 even

02:02:25.260 unquestioned

02:02:26.740 moral

02:02:27.660 quandaries

02:02:31.640 we are

02:02:32.520 we are

02:02:33.260 on the

02:02:33.620 precipice

02:02:34.220 of

02:02:34.580 we don't

02:02:35.500 even know

02:02:35.820 how to

02:02:36.100 define

02:02:36.440 life

02:02:37.020 and we're

02:02:37.780 about to

02:02:38.380 reinvent

02:02:38.900 life

02:02:39.600 you know

02:02:40.480 we don't

02:02:41.320 know the

02:02:41.860 basic

02:02:42.660 defense

02:02:43.980 or stance

02:02:45.120 on really

02:02:46.340 huge

02:02:46.740 questions

02:02:47.340 I've never

02:02:48.520 seen this

02:02:49.140 before in

02:02:49.880 my life

02:02:50.460 that's the

02:02:51.380 way churches

02:02:51.940 will become

02:02:52.440 relevant again

02:02:53.180 it's where we

02:02:54.200 are at this

02:02:54.720 point in the

02:02:55.300 country

02:02:55.620 because there's

02:02:56.360 384,000

02:02:57.960 churches and

02:02:58.660 senior pastors

02:02:59.280 in America

02:02:59.780 and people

02:03:00.800 like George

02:03:01.300 Barnett

02:03:01.660 polling 500

02:03:02.500 a day

02:03:03.000 what we find

02:03:03.820 is 72%

02:03:05.040 do not even

02:03:05.780 agree with

02:03:06.220 the scriptures

02:03:06.620 they don't

02:03:07.240 even think

02:03:07.600 the scriptures

02:03:08.040 are valid

02:03:08.560 or have

02:03:09.160 any influence

02:03:09.720 how many

02:03:10.800 72%

02:03:11.780 so what

02:03:13.260 that leaves

02:03:13.760 you is

02:03:14.000 107,000

02:03:15.340 pastors

02:03:15.820 that say

02:03:17.280 we believe

02:03:18.080 the scriptures

02:03:18.580 and we believe

02:03:19.220 that it's

02:03:19.540 relevant

02:03:19.880 so 107,000

02:03:21.560 pastors

02:03:21.900 is 28%

02:03:22.920 polling down

02:03:24.040 with 500

02:03:24.700 a day

02:03:25.140 to say

02:03:25.460 okay

02:03:25.760 do you

02:03:26.300 think the

02:03:26.680 Bible

02:03:26.980 addresses

02:03:27.460 all issues

02:03:28.400 that happen

02:03:28.820 around you

02:03:29.320 and we gave

02:03:31.460 14 issues

02:03:32.300 and depending

02:03:32.720 on what the

02:03:33.100 issue was

02:03:33.660 between

02:03:34.060 91 and

02:03:35.420 97%

02:03:36.120 of those

02:03:36.380 pastors

02:03:36.640 said yes

02:03:37.340 the Bible

02:03:38.120 does address

02:03:38.720 those issues

02:03:39.260 and then we

02:03:40.020 said okay

02:03:40.400 have you

02:03:41.340 addressed that

02:03:42.000 issue

02:03:42.380 from the

02:03:42.920 pulpit

02:03:43.240 or do you

02:03:43.660 have any

02:03:43.980 plans to

02:03:44.580 address that

02:03:45.020 issue

02:03:45.320 and 90%

02:03:47.360 said absolutely

02:03:47.920 not those

02:03:48.380 are political

02:03:48.780 things we

02:03:49.220 don't cover

02:03:49.540 that from

02:03:49.820 the pulpit

02:03:50.180 but wait a minute

02:03:51.320 you just told me

02:03:52.260 that was in the

02:03:52.780 scriptures

02:03:53.120 and you're not

02:03:54.180 going to say

02:03:54.580 what the

02:03:54.860 scriptures

02:03:55.120 so what we

02:03:56.040 find is only

02:03:56.580 2.8%

02:03:57.940 of pastors

02:03:58.520 a day

02:03:58.940 do anything

02:03:59.960 related to

02:04:01.140 relevancy

02:04:01.740 applying the

02:04:02.440 scriptures to

02:04:02.940 what's going

02:04:03.300 in the

02:04:03.540 culture

02:04:03.880 these guys

02:04:05.300 by and large

02:04:06.180 have talked

02:04:06.680 themselves into

02:04:07.340 a position

02:04:07.840 of silence

02:04:08.460 and the

02:04:09.480 result is

02:04:10.300 that you

02:04:10.580 see people

02:04:11.100 now with

02:04:11.580 their faith

02:04:11.980 is completely

02:04:12.520 compartmentalized

02:04:13.800 here's my

02:04:14.220 faith on

02:04:14.600 Sunday

02:04:14.920 but here's

02:04:15.560 not my

02:04:15.860 faith on

02:04:16.240 Wednesday

02:04:16.500 or Tuesday

02:04:17.000 or Thursday

02:04:17.880 afternoon

02:04:18.400 or anything

02:04:18.880 else

02:04:19.300 and so

02:04:20.320 the faith

02:04:21.200 is no longer

02:04:21.680 relevant

02:04:21.980 you don't

02:04:22.420 get this

02:04:22.740 kind of

02:04:23.040 relevancy

02:04:23.480 anymore

02:04:23.800 that we

02:04:24.120 had

02:04:24.380 so David

02:04:25.120 give me

02:04:25.600 just two

02:04:26.360 minutes

02:04:26.780 on the

02:04:28.420 impact

02:04:29.320 of

02:04:30.300 of just

02:04:31.560 people

02:04:32.060 who

02:04:32.680 probably

02:04:34.020 have never

02:04:34.420 voted before

02:04:35.080 or one

02:04:35.820 church

02:04:36.460 getting together

02:04:37.620 and saying

02:04:38.120 I want it

02:04:38.720 the school

02:04:39.140 board

02:04:39.420 we're going

02:04:39.960 to stand

02:04:40.340 up

02:04:40.600 can you

02:04:41.180 give

02:04:41.400 I can

02:04:41.840 give you

02:04:42.120 a lot

02:04:42.360 more than

02:04:42.740 one

02:04:43.060 but I'll

02:04:43.360 just take

02:04:43.760 you real

02:04:44.060 quickly

02:04:44.400 to

02:04:44.620 Yonkins 0.92

02:04:45.000 race

02:04:45.320 in

02:04:45.480 Virginia

02:04:45.860 312

02:04:46.860 churches

02:04:47.340 got together

02:04:47.960 last

02:04:48.400 January

02:04:48.920 and said

02:04:49.740 look

02:04:50.060 we need

02:04:50.680 to have

02:04:51.000 a difference

02:04:51.480 North

02:04:51.880 what Northam

02:04:52.920 did

02:04:53.160 he just

02:04:53.500 passed

02:04:53.800 a bill

02:04:54.140 that says

02:04:54.540 if you

02:04:55.060 try to

02:04:55.400 abort

02:04:55.620 a child

02:04:56.180 and you

02:04:56.800 don't do

02:04:57.140 it

02:04:57.260 and it

02:04:57.520 lives

02:04:57.800 it's okay 1.00

02:04:58.180 to kill 1.00

02:04:58.480 it after 1.00

02:04:58.820 it's born

02:04:59.240 and they

02:04:59.880 gave a

02:05:00.180 standing

02:05:00.460 ovation

02:05:00.900 for that

02:05:01.400 measure

02:05:01.800 and that's

02:05:02.400 just a

02:05:02.700 wicked

02:05:02.880 measure

02:05:03.300 I mean

02:05:03.600 that's

02:05:03.800 just bad

02:05:04.260 and so

02:05:04.840 312

02:05:05.620 churches

02:05:06.040 most of

02:05:06.500 them

02:05:06.580 rural

02:05:06.760 churches

02:05:07.120 got

02:05:07.340 together

02:05:07.620 and said

02:05:08.020 this is

02:05:08.940 not good

02:05:09.340 we got

02:05:10.000 an election

02:05:10.360 coming in

02:05:10.800 November

02:05:11.160 and so

02:05:11.840 back in

02:05:12.260 January

02:05:12.580 they started

02:05:13.140 looking

02:05:13.500 and they

02:05:13.880 said

02:05:14.060 okay

02:05:14.320 let's

02:05:14.860 find

02:05:15.100 people

02:05:15.480 who sit

02:05:15.920 in our

02:05:16.340 pews

02:05:16.720 in our

02:05:17.100 churches

02:05:17.480 and again

02:05:17.900 these

02:05:18.120 weren't

02:05:18.300 large

02:05:18.580 churches

02:05:18.920 and let's

02:05:19.820 find people

02:05:20.420 who have

02:05:20.740 never voted

02:05:21.380 for who

02:05:22.100 haven't even

02:05:22.560 registered to

02:05:23.120 vote and

02:05:23.480 let's get

02:05:23.800 them registered

02:05:24.240 and have

02:05:24.600 them vote

02:05:25.000 for the

02:05:25.320 first time

02:05:25.860 and they

02:05:26.620 did and

02:05:27.020 they had

02:05:27.300 77,000

02:05:28.360 people out

02:05:28.940 of those

02:05:29.120 312

02:05:29.700 churches

02:05:30.080 who had

02:05:30.360 never

02:05:30.560 before voted

02:05:31.160 who voted

02:05:31.600 for Yonkin

02:05:32.660 Yonkin won

02:05:33.980 by 66,000

02:05:34.920 votes

02:05:35.320 so right

02:05:36.400 there out

02:05:36.860 of tens

02:05:37.240 of thousands

02:05:37.700 of churches

02:05:38.220 in Virginia

02:05:38.740 312 little

02:05:39.800 churches

02:05:40.100 did that

02:05:40.500 they didn't

02:05:41.100 stop there

02:05:41.640 they said

02:05:42.200 by the way

02:05:42.860 they said

02:05:43.700 first

02:05:44.120 in first

02:05:45.020 Timothy

02:05:47.480 unless he

02:05:47.780 runs

02:05:47.960 according

02:05:48.260 to the

02:05:48.480 rules

02:05:48.760 so what

02:05:49.180 are the

02:05:49.360 rules

02:05:49.620 and they

02:05:50.240 looked at

02:05:50.580 elections

02:05:51.020 and 1300

02:05:51.720 people from

02:05:52.400 the churches

02:05:52.800 got trained

02:05:53.360 as election

02:05:53.840 judges

02:05:54.220 and election

02:05:54.600 officials

02:05:55.000 they identified

02:05:56.160 5.2%

02:05:57.320 of the votes

02:05:57.900 cast as

02:05:58.480 fraudulent

02:05:59.040 now you

02:05:59.600 take out

02:05:59.980 5.2%

02:06:01.080 fraudulent

02:06:01.720 votes

02:06:02.080 there's the

02:06:02.540 election again

02:06:03.220 I mean

02:06:03.640 there's just

02:06:03.960 so many

02:06:04.260 things they

02:06:04.700 did

02:06:05.000 so I

02:06:05.400 guess

02:06:05.660 the

02:06:05.900 difference

02:06:06.500 is

02:06:06.820 I

02:06:07.100 don't

02:06:07.300 ever

02:06:07.540 want

02:06:07.740 to

02:06:07.840 be

02:06:08.160 a

02:06:08.700 church

02:06:09.040 where

02:06:09.320 and I

02:06:09.680 think

02:06:09.880 some

02:06:10.140 churches

02:06:10.460 have

02:06:10.660 become

02:06:10.960 this

02:06:11.260 on the

02:06:11.560 left

02:06:11.880 where

02:06:12.780 the

02:06:13.540 God

02:06:14.120 is the

02:06:14.740 government

02:06:15.200 right

02:06:15.580 and

02:06:16.160 and

02:06:16.660 I guess

02:06:17.040 that's

02:06:17.320 why

02:06:17.540 when I

02:06:17.900 say

02:06:18.060 I don't

02:06:18.260 want to

02:06:18.520 hear

02:06:18.800 you know

02:06:20.260 I don't

02:06:20.460 want to

02:06:20.680 hear who

02:06:21.060 to vote

02:06:21.420 for

02:06:21.880 you know

02:06:22.500 politics

02:06:23.080 I guess

02:06:23.940 I just

02:06:24.240 don't want

02:06:24.900 my church

02:06:26.100 to preach

02:06:26.620 that God

02:06:27.580 is the

02:06:28.880 government

02:06:29.220 that we

02:06:29.860 have to

02:06:30.340 have the

02:06:30.720 government

02:06:31.000 to do

02:06:31.340 things

02:06:31.760 the church

02:06:32.820 should be

02:06:33.340 a restraint

02:06:34.400 on government

02:06:35.920 and should

02:06:36.540 be

02:06:36.740 and should

02:10:47.640 total shot

02:10:48.400 hit the president's head 0.95

02:10:49.580 dr morgan luther king 0.99

02:10:52.980 has been shot to death

02:10:54.300 in memphis

02:10:54.920 a short time ago

02:10:56.320 an american airplane

02:10:58.060 dropped one bomb

02:10:59.520 on hiroshima

02:11:00.560 allied naval forces

02:11:02.220 supported by strong

02:11:04.480 air forces

02:11:05.380 began landing allied armies

02:11:08.300 this morning

02:11:09.120 on the northern

02:11:10.520 coast of french

02:11:11.820 december 7th

02:11:13.700 1941

02:11:16.060 a state which will live

02:11:19.440 in infamy

02:11:20.700 oh the humanity

02:11:21.900 back farther still

02:11:25.300 even before marconi

02:11:27.100 when the air

02:11:28.480 was silent

02:11:29.880 back past the signing

02:11:36.640 of the declaration

02:11:37.360 of independence

02:11:38.120 past the age

02:11:39.120 of enlightenment

02:11:39.740 before martin luther

02:11:41.380 hung his protest

02:11:42.240 on the church doors

02:11:43.320 before columbus

02:11:44.800 rediscovered the fact

02:11:46.000 that the world

02:11:46.620 was round

02:11:47.340 we go past

02:11:48.880 newton

02:11:49.380 galileo

02:11:50.260 the dark ages

02:11:51.340 the crusades

02:11:52.460 back to a time

02:11:54.160 before books

02:11:55.080 when most of the

02:11:56.400 world couldn't read

02:11:57.560 nor write

02:11:58.280 and history

02:11:59.440 was oral

02:12:00.440 we leave this world

02:12:03.420 now

02:12:03.860 where we can hear

02:12:05.000 and see

02:12:05.620 a lone protester

02:12:06.760 standing in front

02:12:07.700 of a tank

02:12:08.280 in a country

02:12:09.160 on the other side

02:12:10.000 of the planet

02:12:10.580 and we can see it live

02:12:12.400 to a world

02:12:13.760 seemingly simple

02:12:15.300 yet brutal

02:12:16.780 beyond our understanding

02:12:18.180 where news

02:12:19.560 was spread

02:12:20.140 from mouth to mouth

02:12:21.280 we stop

02:12:23.040 here

02:12:23.700 at approximately

02:12:26.080 29

02:12:26.760 of the common era

02:12:28.060 we stop

02:12:30.620 at a small

02:12:31.260 walled city

02:12:32.100 in the middle east

02:12:33.020 it's around

02:12:34.340 10 o'clock

02:12:34.940 at night

02:12:35.440 just a couple

02:12:36.760 of days

02:12:37.380 before passover

02:12:38.480 the meals

02:12:40.060 are being prepared

02:12:41.040 the night's meal

02:12:42.360 had already

02:12:42.920 been eaten

02:12:43.480 and most

02:12:44.600 in the city

02:12:45.240 are asleep

02:12:46.420 one man

02:12:48.240 however

02:12:48.660 is not

02:12:50.260 it's strange

02:12:52.100 he's younger

02:12:53.800 than i am

02:12:54.540 he's about

02:12:55.740 30

02:12:56.280 he's awake

02:12:58.000 and alone

02:12:59.360 in a garden

02:13:00.000 his friends

02:13:01.900 who have been

02:13:02.300 with him

02:13:02.660 for several years

02:13:03.540 are just a few

02:13:04.260 yards away

02:13:05.080 they slumber

02:13:06.440 underneath

02:13:06.840 the star-filled sky

02:13:08.460 they still

02:13:10.100 don't know

02:13:10.920 that even though

02:13:12.120 they sleep

02:13:12.780 the world

02:13:14.000 is about

02:13:14.860 to wake

02:13:15.480 11 of 12 men

02:13:19.840 sleep

02:13:20.600 beside a hill

02:13:21.500 one man

02:13:23.040 awake

02:13:24.020 he couldn't

02:13:25.700 sleep

02:13:26.100 for

02:13:27.300 he knew

02:13:28.660 he was in a garden

02:13:30.920 in prayer

02:13:32.160 praying so hard

02:13:34.340 about what he knew

02:13:35.320 was about to come

02:13:36.280 praying so hard

02:13:37.800 that blood

02:13:38.360 actually dripped

02:13:39.100 from his pores

02:13:40.040 in a place

02:13:40.880 of sweat

02:13:41.460 back at the hill

02:13:43.660 when he returned

02:13:44.940 he begged

02:13:45.960 his friends

02:13:46.720 to wake

02:13:47.480 and pray

02:13:48.500 with him

02:13:49.060 they didn't know

02:13:51.100 how serious

02:13:51.980 his request

02:13:52.880 really was

02:13:53.740 they had no idea

02:13:55.680 what was just

02:13:56.860 to come

02:13:57.400 he pleaded

02:13:59.380 with his friends

02:14:00.180 why will you not

02:14:01.460 rise and pray

02:14:02.560 with me

02:14:03.180 he asked this again

02:14:05.080 before returning

02:14:05.980 to the garden

02:14:06.780 alone

02:14:07.320 he knelt there

02:14:09.060 on rocky soil

02:14:10.140 his hands clasp

02:14:11.940 his head bowed

02:14:13.860 twilight dew

02:14:14.880 draped his neck

02:14:15.980 the horizon 0.58

02:14:17.240 still in black

02:14:18.720 he prayed

02:14:20.540 he prayed

02:14:21.600 even harder

02:14:22.380 for the sky

02:14:23.520 would eventually

02:14:24.160 turn purple

02:14:25.180 then light blue

02:14:26.360 and he knew

02:14:27.940 what awaited him

02:14:29.320 back to the hill

02:14:31.780 once more

02:14:32.540 his friends

02:14:33.660 asleep

02:14:34.220 he begged

02:14:35.480 his friends

02:14:36.120 rise

02:14:36.900 rise

02:14:37.660 and pray

02:14:38.360 with me

02:14:38.920 I need you

02:14:39.800 now more

02:14:40.420 than ever

02:14:40.880 they said

02:14:42.320 they would

02:14:42.840 but shortly

02:14:44.100 after he left

02:14:45.040 they fell asleep

02:14:46.300 again

02:14:46.800 the dawn

02:14:48.660 was even closer

02:14:49.720 and he knew

02:14:51.540 his time

02:14:52.640 was running out

02:14:53.880 now over the hill

02:14:56.720 they marched

02:14:58.020 like flowing lava

02:14:59.420 burning in the night's solace

02:15:01.060 the eleven

02:15:02.920 are surely awake now

02:15:04.460 they have sworn

02:15:05.720 their faith to him

02:15:06.780 but he knows

02:15:08.340 he knew

02:15:09.300 this wasn't true

02:15:10.720 they'll weaken

02:15:12.080 and he'll be forsaken

02:15:13.940 forsaken by the same men

02:15:16.360 who just swore

02:15:17.200 their undying devotion

02:15:18.520 the torch lights

02:15:20.320 grow brighter

02:15:21.000 the hourglass

02:15:22.440 running low

02:15:23.320 the clanging

02:15:24.380 of the metal swords

02:15:25.480 and spears

02:15:26.280 the sound

02:15:27.280 and the vibration

02:15:28.040 of the march

02:15:28.720 deep down

02:15:29.640 from their feet

02:15:30.400 to their spine

02:15:31.260 creating

02:15:31.820 a shallow vibration

02:15:33.280 leaving them quivering

02:15:34.900 the soldiers

02:15:36.660 approach

02:15:37.380 the one

02:15:40.260 is grabbed

02:15:41.320 and kissed

02:15:42.520 betrayed

02:15:44.300 with a kiss

02:15:45.620 a kiss

02:15:47.320 wearing the mask

02:15:48.700 of loyalty

02:15:49.380 one of the men

02:15:51.740 leap forward

02:15:52.600 draws his sword 0.65

02:15:53.840 cutting the ear 0.99

02:15:54.600 off one of the soldiers 0.97

02:15:55.620 he raises his hand

02:15:57.720 no

02:15:58.580 peace

02:16:00.260 take me now

02:16:02.240 in peace

02:16:02.980 for this

02:16:04.540 is my purpose

02:16:05.680 this

02:16:06.940 is my being

02:16:08.100 this

02:16:09.420 is the reason

02:16:10.800 I came

02:16:11.560 now

02:16:14.260 one of them

02:16:15.200 Peter

02:16:16.120 strays

02:16:17.300 while his friend

02:16:19.260 is being persecuted

02:16:20.260 for crimes

02:16:21.280 he didn't commit

02:16:22.240 he stands

02:16:23.460 by a fire

02:16:24.260 denying any

02:16:25.620 relationship

02:16:26.240 he has

02:16:26.980 as he tries

02:16:27.880 to blend in

02:16:28.680 with the common

02:16:29.280 people

02:16:29.760 a woman 0.57

02:16:31.020 approaches

02:16:31.680 didn't I see

02:16:33.380 you with him

02:16:34.080 Peter says

02:16:35.360 surely I don't

02:16:36.400 know him

02:16:36.860 but you're from Galilee

02:16:38.360 for the third time

02:16:39.820 Peter says

02:16:40.660 I do not know

02:16:42.020 this man

02:16:42.660 now

02:16:43.780 Jesus is pulled

02:16:44.780 back and forth

02:16:45.680 between the two

02:16:46.680 who will determine

02:16:47.580 his fate

02:16:48.260 they can't see

02:16:50.040 any crime

02:16:50.880 but they still

02:16:52.720 question

02:16:53.480 scourge

02:16:54.620 and mock him

02:16:55.780 aren't you

02:16:57.680 the king

02:16:58.520 silence

02:17:00.780 then here is

02:17:02.560 your crown

02:17:03.300 says one

02:17:04.640 as they give him

02:17:05.400 a crown of thorns

02:17:06.580 and press it 0.99

02:17:07.480 into his head

02:17:08.380 he stands

02:17:10.180 before the judge

02:17:11.160 who could

02:17:12.160 condemn him

02:17:12.840 for no crime

02:17:13.780 but it is

02:17:15.080 Passover

02:17:15.620 he says

02:17:17.320 to the crowd

02:17:17.980 you

02:17:18.740 you can choose

02:17:20.460 one

02:17:21.320 I will release

02:17:22.500 him

02:17:23.640 as the king

02:17:24.460 of the Jews 0.57

02:17:25.420 or

02:17:26.280 Jesus

02:17:27.740 standing silent

02:17:29.120 his eyes

02:17:30.420 to the ground

02:17:31.180 he is condemned 0.98

02:17:32.800 to death

02:17:33.640 Jesus

02:17:36.100 now carries

02:17:36.860 his cross

02:17:37.540 through the stone

02:17:38.380 clad streets

02:17:39.340 to the place

02:17:40.080 known as

02:17:41.340 the skull

02:17:42.160 the place

02:17:43.760 where he will 0.57

02:17:44.780 soon die 0.92

02:17:45.480 his back torn 1.00

02:17:47.680 his head

02:17:48.560 bleeding

02:17:49.020 beneath his

02:17:49.820 thorny crown

02:17:50.620 the women 0.97

02:17:51.880 cry out loud

02:17:52.760 as he passes

02:17:53.480 he pauses

02:17:55.140 for a moment

02:17:55.940 and comforts

02:17:57.220 them

02:17:57.540 do not

02:17:59.140 weep for me

02:18:00.140 rather

02:18:01.380 weep

02:18:02.620 for yourselves

02:18:03.780 his mother

02:18:06.020 looks on

02:18:07.140 as huge nails

02:18:08.260 are driven

02:18:08.860 through his hands

02:18:09.860 and his feet

02:18:10.580 they raise the cross

02:18:12.380 and slam it

02:18:13.300 into the ground

02:18:14.100 it is at this point

02:18:16.460 that all four writers

02:18:17.900 of the gospel

02:18:18.760 struggled

02:18:19.400 with a description

02:18:20.600 of the crucifixion

02:18:21.780 as I have

02:18:23.500 they described

02:18:26.220 with the only words

02:18:27.400 that I could use

02:18:29.000 and 0.64

02:18:31.120 they crucified him

02:18:33.580 he now hung

02:18:36.300 on the cross

02:18:37.200 as the soldiers

02:18:38.700 bid lots

02:18:39.520 on his clothing

02:18:40.320 below

02:18:40.840 next to him

02:18:42.440 two criminals

02:18:43.820 hang

02:18:44.300 but they

02:18:45.820 are simply

02:18:46.440 tied to the cross

02:18:47.700 one of them

02:18:49.300 says

02:18:49.800 you're the son

02:18:50.860 of God

02:18:51.440 save us now

02:18:52.480 save all of us

02:18:53.840 the man in the middle

02:18:55.760 does nothing

02:18:57.100 for he

02:18:58.920 had a purpose

02:19:00.480 the afternoon

02:19:02.860 passes

02:19:03.660 his skin

02:19:05.160 stretched

02:19:05.820 he wept

02:19:07.080 he begged

02:19:08.440 for water

02:19:09.060 and they gave him

02:19:09.920 a sponge

02:19:10.580 on a reed

02:19:11.280 filled with vinegar

02:19:12.340 in a moment

02:19:14.380 where he showed us

02:19:16.080 that he was

02:19:16.760 truly human

02:19:17.740 he cried out

02:19:19.680 and said

02:19:20.240 my father

02:19:21.920 my father

02:19:23.800 why have you

02:19:24.680 forsaken me

02:19:25.660 the sky

02:19:28.580 began to grow

02:19:29.420 dark

02:19:29.860 it was approaching

02:19:31.680 three o'clock

02:19:33.040 on a Friday

02:19:34.660 afternoon

02:19:35.240 when Jesus

02:19:37.460 the carpenter

02:19:39.100 from Nazareth

02:19:40.180 spoke once more

02:19:42.080 and only once

02:19:44.260 his last words

02:19:47.020 it

02:19:48.780 is finished

02:19:50.980 so today

02:19:54.400 people all over

02:19:56.460 the world

02:19:57.000 do

02:19:58.240 as I do

02:19:59.460 now

02:19:59.860 I thank

02:20:02.520 that lone

02:20:03.200 carpenter

02:20:03.760 for dying

02:20:05.340 dying

02:20:07.560 on that

02:20:08.280 Friday afternoon

02:20:09.280 so I

02:20:11.260 may live
