00:00:00.000 And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you
00:00:11.520 can do for your country. 0.99
00:00:12.800 This week on American Grit, I'll talk about why Christian colonization is not only good, 0.57
00:00:33.080 but biblical and necessary. In my weekly audit, I'll explain why it's wise to not let your 1.00
00:00:38.240 daughters attend nightclubs and take public transportation. We'll also see why liberal 1.00
00:00:41.720 women aren't having children. And I'll show you that Sesame Street is trying to make your kids 1.00
00:00:46.200 comfortable with foreigners. All that and more coming up right now. Welcome to American Grit. 0.92
00:01:05.780 This is season one on American Identity. I'm your host, Dale Partridge. This episode is titled
00:01:11.440 A Biblical Defense for Christian Colonization and How It Settled the West. Now, each season,
00:01:17.040 I'm going to be covering an American theme with about eight episodes. Now, in the last episode,
00:01:22.360 I answered one of the nation's most urgent questions, what is an American? And over the
00:01:27.060 next few weeks, I'm going to be covering topics like the pre-war and the post-war consensus,
00:01:31.360 the Hart-Celler Act, and national suicide that's happening in the West, as well as how all of this
00:01:36.620 intersects with the topic of Christian nationalism. Now, today, we need to get clear on this word
00:01:43.520 that every liberal hates, colonization. And by the end of this episode, I hope that you feel
00:01:49.060 it's your Christian duty to colonize this nation and your nation, wherever you are, 0.96
00:01:54.000 and every other nation across the world for the virtues and values of Christianity. So, let's begin. 0.92
00:02:00.140 you cannot have a love for america and hate european colonization because america is the
00:02:11.400 direct product of european colonization now yes much of north america was empty wilderness but
00:02:18.900 it was also occupied by you know some scattered tribes of indigenous pagans engaged in you know
00:02:24.840 constant warfare, often practicing human sacrifice, including the ritual killing of babies and
00:02:30.240 children to their sun gods and their other demons. European settlers, primarily the British
00:02:36.440 Christians, they took that raw, untamed land and systematically transformed it into Western
00:02:43.500 Christian civilization built on biblical principles. And out of that effort rose the
00:02:49.060 strongest and most prosperous and most free nation the world has ever seen. Now, in an article
00:02:54.980 on National Geographic titled, What is Colonization? Or What is Colonialism? My bad.
00:03:02.060 How the exploitative practice shaped the world. The author writes this,
00:03:08.460 colonial powers justified their conquest by claiming they had a legal and religious obligation
00:03:14.700 to control the land and culture of indigenous peoples. Conquering nation states saw themselves
00:03:20.600 as civilizing barbaric or savage countries, they argued, were acting in the best interests of those
00:03:28.540 they exploited, end quote. Now, you might remember that famous scene from Disney's
00:03:35.980 Pocahontas, right, where John Smith is there and he says, there's so much we can teach you.
00:03:41.540 We've improved the lives of savages all over the world.
00:03:44.360 Savages?
00:03:45.780 Now, the producers tried to frame that line as arrogant and evil, but historically speaking, it's true, right? 1.00
00:03:53.040 The British Empire and Western colonization in general brought literacy and medicine and infrastructure and the rule of law and the gospel, of course, to countless places that had known very little but tribal warfare, superstition, idolatry, and brutality. 1.00
00:04:08.920 Now, we literally took, I mean, if you just think about it for a second, we literally took
00:04:13.560 a savage society, a barbaric and savage society, and we turned them into decent,
00:04:20.660 Christ-honoring, dignified lands. And I use the word dignified very intentionally.
00:04:27.680 Western culture is a dignified culture. And this is something that I think we have to understand.
00:04:34.340 you know, let me bring some clarity to this. Dignity flows from the Christian doctrine of
00:04:42.920 the Imago Dei, the belief that every human being is made in the image of God. Now, I remember 0.88
00:04:48.280 a very powerful sermon by the late Votie Bauckham. Still can't believe that guy has passed away.
00:04:54.140 But he was a black pastor born in America who later lived in Zambia. And he once pointed out
00:04:59.540 something that struck him as strange. In Africa, people walk around everywhere, yet there are rarely
00:05:06.100 sidewalks anywhere. In America, people rarely walk anywhere, yet we have sidewalks everywhere.
00:05:13.640 And he realized that sidewalks are an expression of Christian dignity. African culture, by
00:05:20.260 comparison, is simply not as a dignified culture as Western Christian culture. Now, the same 1.00
00:05:27.120 principle shows up in everyday life. Um, I recently watched a fashion designer. He was
00:05:33.520 lamenting about the death of classy clothing. Uh, and he noted that even factory workers used to
00:05:38.840 wear, you know, tucked in college shirts, jackets, hats, uh, today, you know, much of the population
00:05:44.100 wanders around in pajamas and looks like they just rolled out of Walmart. Uh, and again, not,
00:05:49.380 not, not because they're poor. Um, some of them are, but not because they're poor, but because
00:05:53.380 they've literally lost any sense of their own inherent value and dignity. It's been stripped
00:06:00.120 away from them in this apocalyptic, dark culture. Now, once you see it, you're not going to be able
00:06:09.380 to unsee it. Why don't we build the grand architecture of the past anymore? Because
00:06:15.280 we've lost our cultural dignity. Why have we abandoned so many of the beautiful customs and
00:06:21.200 standards and manners of previous generations? Well, because we've lost our cultural dignity.
00:06:27.220 As one theologian famously said, we are in love with the beauty of the world they built,
00:06:35.160 but we reject the worldview that produced it. I think another person, I can't remember who said
00:06:40.620 this one, but he said something like, we cannot have what they had unless we believe what they
00:06:46.100 believed. And the reality is, is that we don't. We don't believe what they believed. We don't
00:06:49.460 believe what the Western European society of 150 plus years ago believed. And what the colonizers
00:06:57.920 believed is, and this is really what built the West, was that Jesus Christ is saving the world
00:07:02.860 through the advancement of his kingdom. And that wasn't just a spiritual kingdom. Colonialism
00:07:08.860 was viewed as expanding and establishing the kingdom of God on earth. It's why we called it 0.79
00:07:16.720 Christendom, right? Until we recover that biblical worldview, we're never again going to enjoy a
00:07:24.160 truly dignified society. We're not going to have these cathedrals again. We're not going to have
00:07:29.180 this beautiful architecture and beautiful cities that we're trying to build heaven on earth
00:07:33.340 because we don't have the eschatology to support that. We are heavily saturated in dispensational
00:07:41.660 premillennialism that essentially says that it's only going to get worse. And in fact,
00:07:48.880 the faster it gets worse, the faster it worsens, the better it is, because that's the sooner that
00:07:53.860 Christ is coming back. And so it's this kind of dark, dank culture that just gets worse and worse
00:08:02.640 and worse under that perspective. And Christians have bought into that. And that is not the 1.00
00:08:06.820 worldview or eschatology that previous generations had had. I actually did a sermon series at our
00:08:13.980 church. It's like a seven-part series on eschatology. You can find it on YouTube and check
00:08:19.140 it out, but it walks us through what we call an optimistic eschatology. Now, again, so you can't
00:08:24.980 talk about colonialism without talking about one of the most idiotic phrases of our time. 1.00
00:08:33.140 we're living on stolen land. Now it's, it's a tiring argument because it's literally just so 1.00
00:08:41.180 hard to keep laughing at it every time. I mean, like your stomach starts to hurt when you laugh
00:08:45.860 at it as much as you need to laugh at it, because unfortunately it's just a foolish argument. But 0.97
00:08:52.300 that being said, many people, especially liberal women and third world immigrants, 0.99
00:08:56.720 they actually think it's true. Jeff Flynn, he wrote a really great book. He's the associate
00:09:03.000 professor of global history economics at University of Leiden, he wrote an excellent
00:09:08.440 book called Not Stolen, The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World. Now, in that book,
00:09:15.080 he dispels much of the myths of European colonialism, including how we acquired the
00:09:21.380 United States. Now, he says, and I'm paraphrasing here, but roughly, you know, 40 to 41 percent of
00:09:26.320 the current United States territory was acquired through legitimate purchases, you know, from
00:09:33.020 foreign powers. The Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, Alaska from Russia in 1867, Florida
00:09:41.300 from Spain, and the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico. I believe that was 1848. I mean, much of the rest
00:09:49.840 of the United States came through formal treaties such as, you know, the Oregon Territory
00:09:56.500 settlement with Britain. You had the post-revolutionary war agreements like the
00:10:01.000 Treaty of Guadalupe and Hidalgo. That's actually, that's in 1848. And, you know, this ended, you
00:10:07.140 know, the Mexican-American War and it transferred, you know, much of the Southwest. I mean, you're
00:10:12.960 talking about California, Arizona, New Mexico, you know, even more northern territories to the
00:10:19.340 United States for about $15 million. And as for the land involving indigenous tribes,
00:10:25.940 it was transferred through hundreds of ratified treaties, outright purchases,
00:10:30.840 conquest. In other words, the United States was acquired exactly the same way that empires,
00:10:37.700 kingdoms, and tribes have acquired and established new nations throughout all of human history.
00:10:42.580 So to single out America as uniquely, you know, stolen, it's really just a form of
00:10:51.240 historical illiteracy. If America is stolen, then so is, you know, Uganda from, you know, Batwa, 0.62
00:10:58.060 and so is Colombia from the Amuska, you know, and the other indigenous peoples who migrated
00:11:04.240 and warred for territory long before the Spanish came there. Okay, if anything, America, for its
00:11:11.280 vast size is actually one of the least brutal territorial acquisitions in the history of
00:11:18.160 acquisitions and probably one of the most dignified settlements. Warning, this product contains

00:12:53.440 Before we jump back in,
00:12:54.600 I wanted to tell you about something
00:12:55.860 that we just launched over at the NXR store.
00:12:58.340 Now, if you've been paying attention,
00:12:59.380 you know that everybody's screaming,
00:13:01.020 diversity is our greatest strength.
00:13:02.980 Well, we thought that we should share our greatest strength with our greatest ally,
00:13:06.880 so we made the official Diversity for Israel t-shirt. You can grab yours at
00:13:12.480 shop.newchristianright.com. Again, that's shop.newchristianright.com. While you're there,
00:13:18.220 you should check out my new book, 19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment. It's one of those
00:13:22.700 conversations that's so important and many people are not willing to have. I lay the case out fully,
00:13:28.920 clearly, unapologetically. And depending on when you're watching this, you can either pre-order
00:13:34.100 or you can order your copy now at newchristianright.com forward slash 19. Again, that's
00:13:40.880 newchristianright.com forward slash 19. So go grab yourself a shirt, pre-order the book,
00:13:47.060 help us build something that actually pushes back. All right, let's get back into it.
00:13:51.640 I mean, we gave the Indian tribes reservations. I mean, who conquers a land? And instead of
00:14:00.200 eliminating them, especially when they're like an inferior people in the sense of they had no power
00:14:07.860 and no strength. I mean, we literally showed up on boats with guns and horses and technology,
00:14:13.700 and they're sitting there in huts. Who gives people like that, an inferior enemy, sovereign
00:14:20.400 land, citizenship, and then trillions of dollars in aid. European colonialist Christians do, 1.00
00:14:28.980 okay? So even in war and conquest, we are restrained by conscience, law, and the belief
00:14:41.800 that every soul has dignity before God. And so colonialism is not opposed to Christianity. No,
00:14:51.900 I actually think that colonialism or colonization is the proper outworking of Christianity. Now, 0.83
00:14:57.460 you might be wondering, you know, how could I root this argument in scripture? Well, Jesus says in
00:15:03.720 Matthew 28, 18 through 20, he says, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
00:15:09.420 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
00:15:13.140 and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
00:15:18.420 And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age." End quote. Now, that command, many,
00:15:25.080 you know, it's the Great Commission, and it says, make disciples of all nations. And that has driven
00:15:32.340 much of Western expansion for centuries. Now, you might be wondering, you know, Bedale, right?
00:15:40.020 It doesn't say disciple nations. It says make disciples of the nations, right? Shouldn't we be
00:15:47.420 evangelizing people in these nations, not colonizing these people? I've heard this argument,
00:15:53.100 all right? Well, first, colonization is a form of discipleship, but this is where people get it
00:16:00.880 wrong. In the original Greek, it actually does say, disciple the nations. In fact, the Geneva
00:16:08.160 Bible, whose first edition, it's published 1560. In fact, right over here in my office, I have
00:16:14.300 a first edition of the 1560 Geneva Bible hanging on my wall. Not the whole Bible, but a few pages
00:16:22.440 from it. And this is the same Bible that came over on the Mayflower, and it translates the Greek
00:16:29.700 more accurately. It reads, quote, go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
00:16:39.080 the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, end quote. Now, when you diagram the sentence in
00:16:45.560 the Greek, you quickly realize that the object of the pronoun them in the phrase baptizing them
00:16:50.880 is actually the word nations. There's no other noun for it to refer to. And so what that means
00:16:58.780 is that scripture says that we are to teach all the nations and baptize all the nations,
00:17:05.940 not just individuals, but nations. And again, this really is supportive of the Christian
00:17:11.260 nationalistic framework when you look at it through the lens of the Great Commission.
00:17:15.660 Now, why is this important? Well, because Christian explorers, settlers, missionaries,
00:17:21.060 they believe that they were obeying Christ by colonizing nations through evangelism,
00:17:26.620 but also through establishing Christian law, through education, Christian liberty in lands
00:17:32.280 that had never known such Christian virtues. In fact, the Great Commission marked what is called
00:17:37.800 the Age of Discovery. In fact, the 15th century Catholic popes laid out a religious justification
00:17:45.300 for colonization. They issued a series of papal bulls now known as the Doctrine of Discovery.
00:17:51.760 And so when we look at men like Columbus, his motivation went far beyond trade and fame and
00:18:02.960 getting spices from the Indies. He wrote repeatedly that his mission was to spread
00:18:09.660 the gospel of Christ to unknown peoples and to prepare the world for Christ's return.
00:18:15.960 Dr. George Grant, he wrote an excellent book called The Last Crusader,
00:18:20.220 the untold story of Christopher Columbus. In that book, he demonstrates the immense connection
00:18:27.860 that Columbus had with his Christian faith. Columbus once said, quote,
00:18:33.700 it was the Lord who put into my mind the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to
00:18:41.120 the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me. There is no
00:18:48.760 question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because he comforted me with rays of
00:18:54.740 marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures. Now, later he said that he viewed his expedition
00:19:02.680 as fulfilling Matthew 24, 14, which says, and this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed
00:19:09.700 throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come, end quote.
00:19:15.320 in his later writings, he saw really the flow of remaining history in three parts. He saw first
00:19:23.980 that the gospel must reach the whole world. Second, the holy land must be reclaimed by the church, 0.60
00:19:30.960 not by the Jews. Third, Christ would then come back in glory. And he also said that the funds 0.94
00:19:40.780 earned from the discovery of the New World would be partly invested to reclaim Jerusalem 0.93
00:19:47.160 and overthrow Muslim power in the East. And so this is just one example of the many, you know, 0.98
00:19:54.560 correlated with this Great Commission focus of colonization. Another example, you know,
00:20:02.520 was the Spanish conquistadors. They were required by royal decree to read aloud a formal document
00:20:10.760 that in English would be called the requirement to these indigenous people upon first contact with
00:20:18.140 them. And this proclamation declared that the Pope had essentially granted the King and the Queen of
00:20:23.640 Spain dominion over the new world. And it demanded that the natives immediately submit to the Spanish 0.85
00:20:29.540 rule and allow Christian missionaries to preach the gospel or face a just war, essentially conquest,
00:20:36.920 slavery, and the seizure of their lands. So the question today isn't whether colonization is good.
00:20:46.380 It's how Christians can embrace the work of colonization, or in our case in the West, 0.87
00:20:52.600 the work of recolonization. So here's the truth. Everybody colonizes, right? Islam is actively 0.99
00:21:04.620 attempting to colonize Europe and the United States. Hindus are actively trying to colonize 1.00
00:21:13.360 Texas. I was reading stories about there was a variety of moms that were talking about
00:21:19.020 towns just outside of Texas, out of Dallas, Texas, that eight out of 10 children there are now Hindu.
00:21:28.380 There was the gentleman that was in a Christian church around the Dallas area, and he made a
00:21:33.760 statement, something like, I don't want my kids, I want my kids to grow up in America. I don't want
00:21:37.520 them to grow up in India. And his pastors got all upset because, you know, we're supposed to be all 0.99
00:21:42.080 about multiculturalism. And that was a big deal. I think that was maybe six months ago or a year
00:21:47.480 ago. And so it's happening in a variety of places all across the United States. We saw the gays and
00:21:57.220 the trannies try to colonize the United States between 2016 and 2023, probably right around 1.00
00:22:05.940 there. And I mean, do you remember like the gay rainbow on the White House and they were having 1.00
00:22:14.320 the rainbow flag at the FBI headquarters? And we had pride months that were like going all over
00:22:20.780 the United States and companies were buying in. And that is truly a form of colonization. It's
00:22:27.920 homosexual colonization. And so you either colonize or you'll be colonized. You either 1.00
00:22:36.280 govern or you will be governed. You lead or you submit. Those are the options. I often say
00:22:44.640 if you reject Christian nationalism, you will have Islamic nationalism. It's not 1.00
00:22:51.420 whether you're going to live in some colonized religious nation, but who is going to colonize it
00:22:59.540 and for what religion. The myth of secular neutrality is, I think it's finally going away.
00:23:08.300 right? The idea of like a tolerant and diverse and multicultural society where everyone can
00:23:14.960 coexist, it's a sham. I think what we're realizing right now is that multiculturalism is essentially
00:23:24.200 a synonym for civil war. Have you ever wondered like why over thousands of years 0.92
00:23:31.920 of recorded history, there's never been a multicultural nation because they don't work. 1.00
00:23:39.840 They just don't work. It's one of these things that like, as a pastor, I want to often go back 1.00
00:23:44.660 into time. I want to look and I want to find out what do the reformers think about this particular
00:23:50.000 basis, right? These particular issues that we're fighting today. The problem is I can't. I can't
00:23:57.400 go back to Luther or to Calvin or Aquinas or the early church or Chrysostom. I can't go back there
00:24:04.060 and find out what they think about multicultural nations because multicultural nations don't exist
00:24:08.980 at that time. It's like trying to figure out what they thought about transgenderism or mass
00:24:14.180 homosexuality or feminism. I don't know. They don't exist. These are modern problems.
00:24:22.240 And as a result, we are the first generation having to bring to bear good theology on this
00:24:31.480 matter. I'm actually working on a book on this topic, and really it's called God's Design for
00:24:41.520 Nations. And I'm going to give a biblical argument and interpretation about ethnicity and culture
00:24:49.000 and American Christian nationalism. It probably won't come out for maybe another six months or so.
00:24:54.920 But this work needs to get done. I mean, Stephen Wolf did a great book,
00:25:01.180 The Case for Christian Nationalism, where he talks about this. But we need like 40 more books
00:25:06.040 on the topic to get out into the hands of many people so that we can have discussions around
00:25:10.540 this particular issue. So how do we recolonize? Well, first, at the root, I think all of our
00:25:20.140 motives have to begin with Christ. I often post on X on Sunday mornings. We can't save America
00:25:28.220 unless America is saved, right? Go to church. In other words, all colonization is ultimately
00:25:35.120 religious, and if you are not deeply settled in Christian theology, your efforts to shape culture
00:25:43.900 or build a society will be driven by, you know, something else, right? Philosophy or politics or
00:25:48.960 personal ambition. And we have to be a people so saturated in the gospel that our desire to
00:25:59.460 influence or to even dominate a land flows from the cross. We don't want it flowing from pride,
00:26:07.240 from power, nostalgia, but from a burning desire to see Christ honored in every sphere of life.
00:26:17.380 That needs to be the motivation for the root at our recolonizational efforts, if that's a word.
00:26:25.540 Second, we cannot be Gnostics. Gnosticism reduces Christianity to a purely spiritual
00:26:36.960 inward religion that has no real impact on the physical world. It creates what I call
00:26:44.920 quiet Christianity. It treats the body, the culture, the government, the material life 0.96
00:26:53.000 as unimportant or out of focus for the kind of redeemable aspect of the gospel. And so this is
00:27:02.340 why modern churches often feel really focused on emotion than action. When emotional experiences
00:27:12.920 become the primary measure of spiritual maturity, then women naturally thrive in that environment.
00:27:21.820 And this shift has been one of the biggest reasons so many men have been absent from
00:27:29.080 the church for decades, right?
00:27:30.440 Again, so if you have spiritual, if everything's spiritual, well, the closest way to manifest
00:27:38.260 spiritual maturity is like emotion.
00:27:41.000 And if everything's emotion, and emotion is like the way primarily that you demonstrate
00:27:46.980 your maturity, well, again, which group of people thrive at that? 0.78
00:27:50.140 Well, what's women?
00:27:51.120 And so if your whole church service becomes an environment where maturity was measured and 0.70
00:27:57.040 demonstrated by acting emotional or relational or sensitive, you know, essentially acting like a
00:28:04.200 woman, the men leave, right? And that's what we've grown up in. That's what we've grown up in. And
00:28:11.780 we don't really know another Christianity. I wrote my book, The Manliness of Christ,
00:28:19.240 to really help combat that idea that Jesus is like some gentle and lowly, only soft Jesus.
00:28:32.960 I wanted to give a more robust understanding of who Christ is, that ultimately Jesus is the most
00:28:41.180 masculine man that has ever walked the earth. He's the most bold, the most brave, the most
00:28:48.380 courageous, the most intense, but nobody ever teaches on those aspects of Christ. And so,
00:28:54.540 yeah, so my book, The Manliness of Christ, I went into that. And it's a very important book,
00:28:58.420 I think, for this generation of men. But yes, effeminate Christianity is not historic Christianity.
00:29:03.960 Historic Christianity was strong, masculine, and conquering. So Gnosticism, what it does is it
00:29:11.440 leaves the real world wide open for other religions and ideologies that understand
00:29:18.380 that the spiritual must shape the physical, that your theology is going to come out of your
00:29:23.600 fingertips. And Muslims, for example, you know, they apply Sharia law because they believe their
00:29:30.200 faith should govern every area of life. Yet as Christians, you know, we confess that Christ is
00:29:37.460 the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords in a sovereign over heaven and earth. He's the Lord
00:29:44.040 of the government and education and finance. And we like, we'll think these things, but we don't
00:29:49.260 ever push those things into the real world. But truly, you know, as you know, Abraham Kuyper
00:29:56.140 famously declared, there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which
00:30:04.000 Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry, mine, end quote. So this is what is meant by
00:30:13.560 living out the truth of this concept of all of Christ for all of life. And so we need to bring
00:30:23.520 our Christianity into the physical world, okay? We need to bring it out of the spiritual 0.94
00:30:29.060 and into the physical. Now, we don't want to just become a physical because it's a spiritual
00:30:34.180 reality. So you can have two ditches in the road where it's like, now you're talking about
00:30:39.240 politics only and you're preaching out of the newspaper and everything you talk about on the
00:30:45.000 pulpit on Sunday is about politics. And it's just, you've forgotten the reality of the spiritual
00:30:53.300 nature of the gospel. And then you have the side that we're in currently, which is everything
00:30:59.440 spiritual. The church has really nothing to say to the state. We should kind of keep quiet. Faith
00:31:06.300 is a private thing. Those are the two ditches. No, we need to embrace both. We need to embrace
00:31:12.500 the spiritual. We need to embrace the physical, and we need to do them balanced and well.
00:31:17.300 All right, third, colonization requires a covenantal, multi-generational commitment.
00:31:27.740 Now, just think about the great cathedrals of Europe. Many took centuries to build.
00:31:34.760 With generations of workers, they're laboring on these structures that they would never see
00:31:42.880 completed. I mean, just think about that for a minute. I mean, you're going to start the
00:31:48.980 foundation of this thing and it's going to take you 60 years to build the exterior walls of the
00:31:54.560 first floor. I don't know. I mean, you're talking three, four, five. I know the Cologne Cathedral
00:32:00.880 took, I think, 600 years. You know how many generations never saw it fully completed that
00:32:08.280 worked on that? Again, in contrast, today's, you know, radical individualism and dispensationalism,
00:32:17.080 kind of the rapture fever, everybody's waiting to leave, right? You know, instead of working,
00:32:22.720 they're waiting, right? It's produced a really short-term mindset, and we have become
00:32:29.360 a transient people, you know, always ready to leave, always ready to move on.
00:32:35.300 You know, now we got cars and airplanes and Instagram shows us a really beautiful place.
00:32:40.900 And we're going to move from one place to another.
00:32:42.340 And we're always, again, ready to leave.
00:32:44.740 We're rarely willing to plant deep roots anywhere because there's another opportunity and another
00:32:49.560 thing.
00:32:49.980 And we essentially act like globalists.
00:32:52.640 We don't act like localists.
00:32:55.120 And as a result, we struggle to build anything of lasting substance because we're constantly
00:33:00.680 moving on.
00:33:01.240 while we look at Europe and while we look at, you know, the old world and we go, wow,
00:33:06.960 how beautiful it was. I wish we could have that. And you're like, well, you can't have that if you
00:33:11.140 move every four years. You've got to plant roots and then you've got to have your kids plant roots
00:33:16.820 and you've got to have your grandkids plant roots. I always tell people, wherever you move,
00:33:20.480 you're moving your grandkids. You're moving your great grandkids. You're moving your ancestors
00:33:25.180 wherever you move. And you have to teach that multigenerationally because you can't take over
00:33:29.740 towns for Christ if you keep moving. That's what we're doing here in Prescott, Arizona. We're
00:33:36.120 trying to take over this town for Christ. And it's not going to happen in 10 years. It's going to
00:33:42.640 take 100, maybe 150. But that's why we're building schools and we're planting a church and we're
00:33:48.760 working on a publisher and we're doing all the things that we're trying to do.
00:33:52.520 Um, colonization requires long-term commitment. Now, one of the major reasons for this lack of
00:34:02.400 long-term commitment is national instability. Uh, when the political and cultural climate
00:34:09.660 feels like it could collapse at any moment, people naturally hesitate to invest deeply in a place. 0.99
00:34:16.900 You know, mass immigration has significantly destabilized communities across the country. 0.98
00:34:23.060 We saw this clearly during COVID, right, with kind of the Great Migration. 0.98
00:34:28.500 Millions relocated in search of, you know, political stability.
00:34:35.200 They were like political refugees.
00:34:37.580 And many conservatives now feel like, you know, like they are.
00:34:44.080 Like, they're political refugees constantly moving between, you know, red areas and more red areas in hopes of finding some sort of safety, long-term safety.
00:34:54.540 And this is, again, why strategic Christian colonies, or, you know, some people call them Christian boroughs, are so important. 0.71
00:35:01.720 We have to intentionally gather around strong, momentum-filled local churches.
00:35:10.780 We are willing to, I see people all the time, they're willing to move for jobs or for weather,
00:35:17.760 but why aren't they willing to move for coalition with a great church community?
00:35:25.600 Come on. I mean, this is, and this is another thing I want to talk about.
00:35:29.500 Uh, we need to learn that fighting in isolated fragment fragments, it's a weak way to win
00:35:40.340 battles. Um, we cannot win this generation or the next, uh, if we are scattered. I mean, there's,
00:35:49.060 there's a form of what's called like strategic retreat or sorry, strategic retreat. And it's
00:35:55.400 where you would move from one place to join another group of Christians that have a better 0.72
00:36:01.200 shot of building or winning that particular area or that battle of the war. And together,
00:36:08.820 you know, we can fight, we can build, we can eventually take ground in a specific
00:36:12.540 state or region. So I just encourage people, you should move. You should move to a place
00:36:17.600 where there's essentially Christian colonies, Prescott, Arizona, Ogden, Utah, 1.00
00:36:26.260 you know, Moscow, Idaho, Georgetown, Texas. There are others that are around that have some strong
00:36:33.160 momentum of coalition building already. And we need more of them. We need a lot more of them
00:36:41.160 that are surrounded by a Christian church and have good Christian schools and have long-term
00:36:45.860 post-millennial optimistic eschatology, long-term mindsets that are filled with Christian patriots
00:36:51.360 that are not Gnostics. We need more of that. That is a very important aspect of this. 0.58
00:36:57.820 Now, we are already seeing, again, this happen in different places around the country. There's
00:37:04.980 a good book that Joel Webin wrote called Fight by Flight, and it essentially argues that the most
00:37:12.560 loving thing you can do sometimes is leave. So I think the subtitle is why leaving godless places
00:37:18.860 is loving godless places. And I think it's a clever way to talk about strategic retreat.
00:37:24.400 It's his story about leaving California and moving back home to Texas and the rationale behind that.
00:37:33.500 And I think it helps people understand why they might leave a blue state to come to a red state
00:37:39.200 to build coalition, that we might have momentum to take over a particular territory. And if the
00:37:45.500 country balkanizes, right, if it shrinks into a smaller nation at some point, we're going to need
00:37:53.940 those strategic colonies at that point. Okay. So fourth is political involvement.
00:38:01.280 In a healthy Christian society without mass immigration and multiculturalism, 0.64
00:38:10.760 you could reasonably expect that those in politics would naturally represent your values. 0.97
00:38:17.840 But we don't live in that world right now, right? In today's reality, immigrants and foreign 1.00
00:38:23.740 interest groups are actively fighting for governmental power and working to outlaw 0.89
00:38:29.580 your rights and your values. And in such a time, it's essential that committed Christians run for 0.92
00:38:36.600 office and take leadership. In fact, a lot of people recently have been asking me if there's
00:38:41.720 a chance that I would run for office. And yes, there is a chance that I would run for office.
00:38:44.900 I don't know what office and when. I'd have to see people willing to support me in that capacity
00:38:52.180 and have God's kind of sovereign providence prove that that's something he wants me to do.
00:38:57.460 But yeah, if you're interested in supporting me to run for some sort of political office,
00:39:01.640 maybe Senate or U.S. Congress or something like that, man, there's a chance that I would be
00:39:08.160 interested in doing that. I know they're expensive to run for those things. You need people behind
00:39:12.040 you. You need momentum. You need donors. You need supporters. But we need political
00:39:17.940 power from the Christians because this is what multiculturalism is. It's essentially groups 1.00
00:39:23.880 of different ethnicities, cultures, values, religions, who are all fighting for governmental
00:39:30.180 power. And that's why it doesn't work. As I said, even in the last episode, and I say it all the
00:39:36.960 time, multinationalism creates wars with other nations, but multiculturalism creates wars
00:39:43.800 within nations. And that's why it doesn't work. It does not work. We are going to see. I'm telling
00:39:49.160 you, people, I will be vindicated in five to 10 years. Everybody that thinks that I'm a crazy
00:39:54.700 racist just because I am against multiculturalism and the vast majority of immigration, you are
00:40:02.220 going to say, Dale, you know what? You were right. But it's going to be in five or 10 years from now. 1.00
00:40:08.040 Now, I've personally wrestled with the idea of where's the greatest impact right now? Is it in
00:40:16.440 the pulpit or is it in public office, right? And that is a question that far more Christian men 0.83
00:40:21.320 need to seriously consider. There's a lot of good pastors that are stepping in to office.
00:40:28.400 Dusty Deavers is one of them. And because like, where are the good Christian political leaders? 0.82
00:40:36.700 They're basically like what I call skin suit Christians. You know, we get like Ted Cruz, 0.99
00:40:41.620 who doesn't know anything about theology, those are like our Christian leaders. We need
00:40:48.380 solid Christian men, like the founders, like the people that were in office in the first
00:40:54.740 hundred years of our nation. Their writings sound like they're seminary students,
00:40:59.420 and they're not pastors. They just have such a rich political, theological
00:41:05.020 convictions and positions. And so we have to remember that if we refuse to run, someone else
00:41:15.140 will, often a woman from India or Somalia or another foreign culture, and she's going to work 1.00
00:41:22.160 to colonize your community and steal your children's inheritance for the glory of their 1.00
00:41:27.400 pagan god. Ultimately, and as we wrap up this section here, we would do well to recover the 0.97
00:41:37.280 bold confidence of our forefathers. We don't have to cross oceans to colonize. We simply have to
00:41:46.020 cross town. Yet right now, while Muslims and Hindus are literally crossing oceans to claim 1.00
00:41:52.220 ground. We are literally too lazy to take a trip across town to fight for our own land, 1.00
00:41:59.260 and we're quietly being replaced. Your forefathers were far more intense than we are.
00:42:08.800 Ladies, don't be quick to resent your husband for working long hours right now. We need men 1.00
00:42:15.680 who are willing to make massive sacrifices to save our households, to save our nation,
00:42:21.560 to save our lands. For some, that's going to mean earning serious money to fund churches and
00:42:28.160 political campaigns. For others, it's going to mean running for office while still holding down
00:42:34.780 a job and you're working 80 hours a week. But rest and a balanced life, these are privileges
00:42:44.980 of a victorious society. And that is not the society that we live in right now.
00:42:51.620 So let's go to the weekly audit.
00:42:59.440 So I want to talk about a few things here. We have a few stories to discuss here.
00:43:04.800 This first one is Millie, I think her last name's Taplin. She's from the UK. She was drugged at a
00:43:11.720 nightclub. And she took a drink of something, someone handed her something. It doesn't say
00:43:18.720 who handed it to her. I'm just going to guess that it's a foreigner because it sounds, it's got
00:43:23.620 foreign stuff all over it, right? And it's this idea that she's drinking this thing and within
00:43:30.980 minutes, she's twisting and turning and totally paralyzed. And I just was thinking like, what kind
00:43:39.060 a dad, one, lets your daughters like go to college away from town. Like I'm not saying that you can't
00:43:46.200 have a daughter that goes to college, but I'm saying is the idea of like, Hey, let's send our 0.98
00:43:49.740 daughters to some pagan, you know, government university where they're going to turn into 1.00
00:43:57.460 prostitutes and dress like, you know, slutty skanks and have sex with a bunch of people 1.00
00:44:03.220 and become feminists. Like what's happening? Like, why are you sending your daughters to 1.00
00:44:08.460 these places. And then they go to nightclubs, right? Cause they're not at home. And so your 1.00
00:44:13.360 20 year old single daughter is out at nightclubs and she's taking public transportation. You know,
00:44:19.460 you got a arena situation, you know, where you're sitting, you're, you're putting your daughter in,
00:44:24.720 in Uber cabs. And I just go like, please God, let your daughter stay home, provide for them.
00:44:32.740 I watched some stupid video. Not that long ago. It was like this dad. He's like, 1.00
00:44:36.760 you know, next year you're going to, you're going to have to start paying rent to his 18 year old
00:44:41.340 daughter. I'm like, no, no, my daughters will stay home until they are married and I will provide
00:44:48.720 everything for them. Does that mean that they, if she wants to get, you know, a part-time job 0.99
00:44:54.300 doing gardening somewhere, I don't care. Um, what I do care about is, is making sure that she has a 0.98
00:45:03.540 loving protector and spiritual head over her. And so, yeah, she's not going to buy her own car.
00:45:11.560 She's not going to buy her own clothes. No. I'm going to transfer that headship and that 0.95
00:45:19.980 commitment to care for her needs to her husband, who will do that as well. So she's not going to
00:45:25.840 have to provide for herself at all. And so, again, I just go, situations like this or situations like
00:45:31.640 Irina, we can stop them by just keeping your daughters home and providing for them, providing
00:45:39.320 them the best possible life you could as a father. All right, next story. All right, it says the
00:45:48.120 fertility rate of the U.S. liberal white women aged 25 to 35 is 0.51 children. White, it says, 0.95
00:45:59.420 goes on and says, white liberalism is now a death cult whose value proposition is, quote, 1.00
00:46:08.380 amuse yourself to death. Now, pay attention to this last line, right? I think this last line is 0.98
00:46:12.720 one of the best lines I've heard in a long time. It says, optimize for harm reduction long enough
00:46:19.800 and you end up optimizing for non-existence, the only state without pain. Okay, so that's
00:46:28.820 essentially what feminism is, right? Feminism is this desire to eliminate as much fear as possible. 1.00
00:46:39.880 So feminism is really built on fear. And it's the idea that I fear submission, I fear responsibility, 1.00
00:46:45.940 I fear accountability, I fear authority. And so what do they do? They go get a job so they can
00:46:51.620 control their income. They don't get married so they can control their lifestyle. They have
00:46:57.280 abortion so that they can control their bodies. All of this is a fear of authority and control. 0.96
00:47:07.740 And so it's driven by this idea. And what happens is, is they isolate, isolate, and it ends up being
00:47:14.200 single, depressed, alone, and childless. And as a result, it's like they eliminate themselves.
00:47:21.820 You know, again, what it says right here, optimize for harm reduction long enough and you end up optimizing for non-existence. It's like feminism is an ideological sterilization. It takes a person and makes their genetic ancestry be eliminated. 0.99
00:47:44.600 It's like, it's a form of genetic suicide. It's an idea where you just go, if you take it to its
00:47:51.380 final conclusion, you're going to end up alone. You're going to end up with no children and you're
00:47:57.100 going to end up having no genetic descendants. And that's exactly what Satan wants. So for the
00:48:03.480 feminists, I actually care about the feminists and I want to say, stop it, turn around, understand 0.98
00:48:08.760 that loving biblical patriarchy is great. You get to rest in your femininity. I always tell women, 1.00
00:48:14.160 be free to be feminine. And that's a good thing. And so have some babies. And even the conservative
00:48:20.400 ladies, I mean, they're only having like almost two kids, but it's not enough. We need to have 1.00
00:48:23.380 way more children. Children are a good and godly blessing. All right, next story.
00:48:30.960 All right. The word of the day is Habib. I think that's what it is. Happy Arab American Heritage
00:48:41.820 Month from Rami Youssef Elmo and all of your friends on Sesame Street. All right, here we go.
00:48:51.920 We got Sesame Street trying to, again, make your children comfortable with this idea of
00:48:59.920 multiculturalism. They want you comfortable. They want your kids comfortable with foreigners. They
00:49:06.620 they don't want you thinking about this at this sort of dimension. And so I would just say,
00:49:13.300 just to be clear, as we talked about in our last episode, there is no such thing as a hyphenated
00:49:18.000 American. There's no such thing as an Arab American. You're either Arab or you're American.
00:49:23.700 If you come here, you have sacrificed your ethnicity because your job is to assimilate 0.95
00:49:31.380 and lose yourself in the American ethnicity, 0.98
00:49:35.980 in its culture, essentially even marrying in 0.83
00:49:38.980 and genetically eliminating your Arab heritage 0.61
00:49:43.160 over a few generations. 1.00
00:49:44.660 And that's why, again,
00:49:46.600 moving to different nations of ethnicities,
00:49:49.960 especially making huge shifts,
00:49:51.660 it's a form of transnationalism,
00:49:53.480 which is a very important thing to consider
00:49:56.300 if you're going to immigrate somewhere.
00:49:59.080 And again, I talked about in the last episode
00:50:00.840 all the exceptions and missionaries and, you know, two kingdoms maybe coming together for
00:50:05.620 an agreement. Like there's all types of stuff there. So just don't take me out of context
00:50:08.700 when I say that. But the reality is, is when you look at this, the goal is to make your kids
00:50:17.080 comfortable with the idea of foreigners and pagans in your own land. So that's a wrap for
00:50:25.980 this episode, you can follow me on social media, on X, Instagram, YouTube. You can find any of my
00:50:33.580 books on Amazon. I'd love to have your support there. But next week, I'm going to be talking
00:50:37.920 about the pre-war consensus. We're going to be laying some groundwork about what the world was
00:50:42.620 like before World War I and World War II. On that note, my name is Dale Partridge.
00:50:48.540 Thank you for watching or listening to American Grit. I'll see you guys next week.
00:50:55.980 We'll be right back.
00:51:25.980 We'll be right back.
