Did you catch President Trump the other day acknowledging Jesus Christ by name?
00:00:04.260
Did you see him pointing up to heaven and saying we need help from God,
00:00:08.100
not only from science in dealing with coronavirus?
00:00:11.000
Most of the media totally ignored it, but LifeSite covered it.
00:00:14.740
It was only one of the examples where you can see that President Trump is fulfilling
00:00:19.680
that prophecy made about him in the 1980s by that Catholic holy man
00:00:33.400
And this show will show you many, many examples of how he's been doing that.
00:00:39.380
Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:01:00.320
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:01:04.040
Just this past Sunday at Mass, we heard the reading from Isaiah about how God chose King Cyrus
00:01:15.240
Even though Cyrus was not a believer, he was chosen by God to carry out his will.
00:01:22.240
The Lord took the king by the hand, we heard in the reading.
00:01:26.320
How very similar is that to that prophecy of the Catholic holy man Tom Zimmer we heard about
00:01:32.240
from the 1980s, who was told that God had his hand on Donald Trump and would use him as his instrument.
00:01:39.920
And we've truly seen miraculous things happen with Trump.
00:01:45.280
A man who literally no one could have believed would do anything remotely close to leading America back to God.
00:01:55.340
Just last week, Trump pointed to heaven, acknowledging God as the boss from where comes our help.
00:02:01.400
He acknowledged Christ by name and his greatness.
00:02:11.040
Somebody said to me the other day, you're the most famous person in the world by far.
00:02:27.620
Boy, he blew my mind last night, and I was weeping like a baby when he said, Jesus Christ is the boss.
00:02:36.960
And just before that, he lambasted those who were bashing the Catholic faith of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett,
00:02:45.340
saying that he would stand with her and defend her faith.
00:02:50.300
But seriously, they're going after her Catholicism.
00:02:53.640
I will stand with her, fight with her, and we will make sure that these attacks stop because they're really, it's unprecedented.
00:03:02.660
They're basically fighting a major religion in our country.
00:03:07.280
Fighting any religion, fighting Catholicism, is just incredible that they can be doing it.
00:03:14.080
Earlier this month, he spoke of protecting the Catholic Church specifically, praising the Catholic faith.
00:03:20.320
Now more than ever, our nation needs a renewal of the values this organization promotes,
00:03:27.400
and that the Catholic faithful live out each and every day in peace.
00:03:40.500
As president, I will always support you in your effort to serve our fellow citizens and to lift up all humanity.
00:03:46.920
I will protect the Catholic Church, and I will defend the rights of religious believers of every race, religion, color, and creed.
00:03:54.560
But remember how recently he was kneeling in front of the altar at the National Shrine of Pope St. John Paul II in Washington?
00:04:02.760
And back in September, LifeSite's Washington, D.C. correspondent Doug Mainwaring reported, and I quote,
00:04:08.400
Trump's official announcement accepting the Republican Party's nomination to run for re-election
00:04:13.740
was immediately followed by a beautiful rendition of Ave Maria, the Hail Mary, sung in Latin, honoring the Blessed Virgin Mother.
00:04:22.660
And while churches were being attacked and burned during the riots,
00:04:36.640
he stood in front of the closest Christian church to the White House, holding up the Holy Bible.
00:04:42.160
But it was actually right out of the gate that we could see a massive sea change with President Trump.
00:04:49.580
In stark contrast to President Obama, who intentionally omitted references to God contained in the United States' founding documents
00:04:57.200
and official declarations in his speeches, both at home and abroad,
00:05:01.700
Trump mentioned God several times in his inaugural address and surrounded himself with faithful Catholics and other Christians.
00:05:09.000
That contrast was most striking in President Trump's first Thanksgiving proclamation.
00:05:16.780
Because in 2009, President Obama made history in his first year in the White House
00:05:23.180
in that he was the first president to omit directly thanking God in his Thanksgiving proclamation,
00:05:31.240
a trend that Obama largely continued during his remaining years in office.
00:05:35.740
But President Trump mentioned God eight times in his first Thanksgiving address.
00:05:42.080
On their first Thanksgiving, they came together to rejoice after their harvest and praise God for his provision.
00:05:48.940
Since then, Americans have always remembered the blessings of freedom and the glory of God.
00:05:55.140
I'm going to tell you my favorite example of Trump bringing America back to God in just a little bit.
00:06:01.120
But remember first, when in February 2017, the First Lady, Melania Trump,
00:06:07.460
prayed the Lord's Prayer at a Trump rally, and the president complimented her for it?
00:06:17.360
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name,
00:06:23.060
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
00:06:28.400
Give us these days our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
00:06:39.900
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
00:06:45.460
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
00:06:52.560
And just before that, President Trump spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast.
00:06:58.020
He said the world has a duty to stop the genocide of Christians in the Middle East,
00:07:03.460
that we must never, ever stop asking God for wisdom.
00:07:07.520
For us here in Washington, we must never, ever stop asking God for the wisdom to serve the public
00:07:17.680
Remember the president's first Christmas address?
00:07:21.520
He spoke of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:07:25.580
in an address washed by millions and millions around the world,
00:07:29.580
and that was, he was unashamed of America's Christian heritage.
00:07:37.700
the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:07:42.620
In May of 2018, Mike Pence revealed that President Trump regularly asks himself,
00:07:49.960
the president asks, to open White House meetings in prayer.
00:07:54.220
The president also is leading America back to God,
00:07:59.680
not only in a way that some people might dismiss as sort of pious platitudes,
00:08:04.620
he has taken action with real results for Christians.
00:08:08.220
And, you know, there are so many items that I could list,
00:08:14.720
So, you might want to go check out this list from the Family Research Council,
00:08:22.940
Already, by July 13th, 2017, under President Donald Trump,
00:08:27.560
more Christian refugees were admitted to the United States,
00:08:33.520
So, more Christians were admitted to the United States than Muslim refugees,
00:08:41.380
In January 2016, President Trump proclaimed January 16th to be Religious Freedom Day.
00:08:49.720
No American, whether a nun, nurse, baker, or business owner,
00:08:54.300
should be forced to choose between the tenets of faith or adherence to the law.
00:08:59.200
And, of course, that referred to all of the anti-Christian religious persecution
00:09:04.920
happening in America because of the forcing of decisions around same-sex marriage.
00:09:12.800
On May 3rd, 2018, Trump signed the executive order creating a faith-based office in the White House.
00:09:20.680
On October 12th, 2018, there was a U.S. Christian pastor freed from Turkey
00:09:30.500
On December 26th, 2018, the Department of Justice under Trump
00:09:37.560
defending a publicly displayed cross in a Veterans Memorial.
00:09:43.240
Trump got rid of the contraceptive mandate which harmed faith-based organizations
00:09:51.900
In May of last year, Trump signed an executive order
00:09:55.300
allowing churches to speak from the pulpit on political issues, i.e. abortion,
00:10:02.920
while also protecting religious freedom in speech for individuals.
00:10:06.500
The HHS, under Trump, has investigated conscience complaints
00:10:14.560
And, in fact, on August 28th, the HHS issued a notice of violation
00:10:21.300
for forcing a student nurse to participate in an abortion
00:10:27.560
On September 23rd, President Trump hosted a meeting
00:10:34.260
and gave a speech solely on the topic of religious freedom.
00:10:38.160
During the speech, he announced a U.S. policy initiative
00:10:49.020
President Trump also announced the U.S. would form a coalition
00:10:52.100
within the business community to protect religious freedom.
00:10:58.960
has hosted a meeting focused solely on religious freedom at the U.N.
00:11:03.080
And that's according to the Family Research Council.
00:11:06.960
On January 16, 2020, the Departments of Education and Justice
00:11:11.160
issued guidance on constitutionally protected prayer
00:11:14.720
and religious expression in public, elementary, and secondary schools.
00:11:24.700
and not unconstitutionally prohibited or curtailed.
00:11:30.360
And remember when President Trump declared churches essential services
00:11:39.060
were allowing liquor stores and abortion mills to open,
00:11:54.040
as essential places that provide essential services.
00:12:05.060
but have left out churches and other houses of worship.
00:12:28.860
but they're not going to be successful in that call.
00:12:31.840
These are places that hold our society together
00:12:36.400
The people are demanding to go to church and synagogue,
00:12:55.160
will make sure that their congregations are safe
00:13:37.400
the Department of Justice filed a statement of interest
00:13:40.180
protecting the religious liberty of church goers
