00:03:23.680And some are covenantally born into it. Some join themselves to it. Some benefit from it
00:03:30.080without belonging to it. And some remain entirely outside of it. These are, again,
00:03:35.540vital categories because we live in an egalitarian hellhole where essentially we're trying to make
00:03:42.500everybody the same. We're eliminating distinctions because they believe really any hierarchy is
00:03:49.320oppressive or racist or whatever they may call you. Ultimately, most people struggle with
00:03:56.240distinctions because they cannot accept the reality of superiority and inferiority. They
00:04:03.800cannot bear that some are wise and others are foolish, and some rule and others are subject,
00:04:10.060or some are noble and others are ordinary. In the case of citizenship, some are privileged and
00:04:18.720others are not. Some are primary, some are secondary. And rather than submitting to God's
00:04:24.140design of order, they attempt to tear down any of these distinctions because if they cannot raise
00:04:29.300what is low, they attack what is high in order to make everything appear equal. And that is
00:04:34.300essentially the philosophy behind Marxism or DEI or, you know, critical race theory or any of these
00:04:42.360other liberal philosophical models. But the project in that structure always falls apart.
00:04:51.660It doesn't create justice. It just produces confusion and chaos. It essentially, it removes
00:04:56.240accountability and leaves people increasingly divided and at odds with one another because
00:05:01.100they know they're different, yet they are forced to pretend that they're the same.
00:05:06.360In other words, America must restore clear distinctions between heritage American families
00:05:11.140who have built and defended this nation for centuries, and immigrants.
00:05:16.660Heritage Americans deserve unique privileges and priority in their own country.
00:05:23.660The Center for Immigration Studies shows that over 53% of immigrant households live on welfare,
00:05:30.20061% for illegal households, and up to 80% for Somali households.
00:05:35.580That's frustrating because only 37% of U.S.-born households are on welfare and less than 25%
00:05:44.200of those who are on second or third generation born American households. So as you're likely
00:05:51.740already know, the preamble to the Constitution states, we the people of the United States,
00:05:58.620in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide
00:06:04.640for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty
00:06:10.740to ourselves and our posterity. Do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States
00:06:19.100of America. Now, America is a nation of European founding and extension. It was not created for
00:06:28.020the posterity of Indians or Pakistanis or Nigerians. It was formed for the posterity
00:06:35.860of our own Western European Christian ancestors. We are the ones who settled it. We established it.
00:06:44.300We built it. And we did so for ourselves and our posterity. The idea that someone can step off a
00:06:53.820plane from Ghana last week, signed a few papers, and instantly claimed the same rights, privileges,
00:07:00.160and standing as a family that has paid taxes here for 240 years and shaped our institutions and sent
00:07:06.360their sons to fight and die in America's wars is insane. It's a betrayal of the American people.
00:07:14.080Now, ultimately, as you're going to see shortly, maybe in this episode or further episodes,
00:07:19.620America has been reduced to an economic zone to exploit rather than a nation to inherit.
00:07:25.880Now, if you're looking for the real sin, if you want to put like a categorical sin on the
00:07:32.300particular topic, I think the sin is national theft. It's stealing. The motive driving many
00:07:39.580arrivals through these immigrant nations is envy. It's covetousness. They're breaking
00:07:46.880these commandments. They want what is not theirs, and they will systematically steal your children's
00:07:54.940inheritance. Now, the Oxford Dictionary defines a nation as a body of people united by common
00:08:04.080descent, history, culture, or language inhabiting a particular area or territory. Now, I'm going to
00:08:12.640admit, some of these distinctions between heritage Americans and immigrants, they don't need to
00:08:17.100remain permanent or absolute. They simply require real assimilation, not merely multicultural peace,
00:08:23.560but biblical assimilation. And that means adaptation to language and culture and Christian
00:08:30.340values. And ultimately, and here's the big one, this is a big one, intermarriage. I know that's
00:08:34.980a hot topic right now and there's lots of discussion around it, but intermarriage into
00:08:39.800what I would say is the deliberate elimination of one's former ethnicity so that the immigrant's
00:08:45.940identity is fully absorbed into the host people. That's a big statement. It essentially requires
00:08:53.620someone to say, to look at themselves and say, you know what? I don't want to be me anymore.
00:08:58.960Now, I think there's some valid reasons to do that, to have essentially a form of transnationalism.
00:09:06.600But I think it's a conversation that we need to have some categories to think about.
00:09:10.220We see this with Ruth, the Moabite, in Scripture.
00:09:14.820She declared, your God will be my God, and your people will be my people.
00:09:19.820Ultimately, she's willing and allowing her Moabite identity to be essentially eliminated and subsumed into Israel.
00:09:29.120Now, this was a form of ethnic renunciation.
00:09:32.860It was rejecting her ancestry in submission to God and ascending from a pagan people to God's
00:09:40.960covenant people. Now, again, outside of that specific rationale, I believe rejection of one's
00:09:45.740own lineage would possibly, you know, violate the fifth commandment to honor your father
00:09:51.560and mother. Now, to be clear, what I'm talking about here does differ from today's kind of
00:09:58.480casual view of interracial marriage. Ruth and Boaz, they're from the same region and they very
00:10:05.380likely had similar appearances in terms of their skin color. So to correlate Ruth and Boaz as being
00:10:11.440an equal parallel to say like a white Minnesota woman and a black Somali man, I think that's
00:10:17.120foolish. Also, Ruth is essentially, as a woman, she's subsumed into Israel. That is that Ruth
00:10:25.840entered into her husband's ethnicity, not the other way around. And this was the kind of normative
00:10:31.020pattern under biblical patriarchy. Now, for a man to immigrate and to kind of lose himself
00:10:38.360in his wife's ethnicity would be extremely abnormal. The only biblical justification would
00:10:44.120be a man leaving a pagan nation to embrace a godly nation. And we see this with Uriah the Hittite.
00:10:53.460I think that's a valid reality, right? He marries Bathsheba. He comes into this world. Obviously,
00:10:59.820he has a bad ending with David. But other exceptions might be some form of war,
00:11:06.960some form of maybe a displacement that maybe there's a missionary sacrificing his heritage
00:11:16.200for the sake of the gospel. So again, generally speaking, I think biblical assimilation is
00:11:24.100regional, religious, assimilating, and at some degree, multi-generational.
00:11:32.880So if we just take that principle, you know, and we apply it to America, it might look something
00:11:40.820like this. A Hispanic family from, you know, say Northern Mexico, right? Half Spanish,
00:11:49.760half Mexican, right? So they got some sort of Spanish or European, right? So that's a lot of
00:11:54.940Hispanics already are mixed Europeans, especially Northern Mexico. So let's just say that this
00:12:01.400Northern Mexico family comes to Arizona and their hope is to submit to Christ under a Christian
00:12:07.800government and a Christian culture. Now, I would not count these first-generation migrants as
00:12:14.800American citizens, even if they came here legally. They couldn't vote. They couldn't be on welfare.
00:12:21.780They would have to pay taxes, and they'd have to have no criminal record to maintain
00:12:27.180even their ability to stay here. But let's just say that their daughter is raised to speak English.
00:12:34.920She fully commits to Western American Christian culture, and she intermarries with an American
00:12:42.160Christian man who lives in Arizona. Now, ultimately, like Boaz, this American Arizonan man
00:12:50.920is essentially assimilating this woman into the American ethnicity. Now, let's just say that they
00:12:58.620have some children. Because the children are coming from a heritage American as the father,
00:13:05.700I believe their children would be citizens. And their sons and daughters should, I think,
00:13:10.640follow and continue that pattern that they are fully assimilated Americans. And I think that
00:13:17.800process happens over time. Now, in fact, if we look at Ruth, if we look at her son, her son was
00:13:27.700not David, though her great-grandson was David. God placed three generations of people between
00:13:37.540Ruth and King David. And so the principle implies that essentially a few generations are required
00:13:45.720for a family to become fully integrated into the life and the identity of a particular nation.
00:13:55.080And so the goal is simple, right? Citizens must have investment in both America's past
00:14:03.580and its future. So to have people that are not having that investment, right? If you just come
00:14:11.840here, you don't have children, you don't have ancestors, parents or grandparents or great
00:14:20.960grandparents that are here. You don't have an investment in the past. And then if you're not
00:14:25.320having children, you still don't have an investment in the future. I think these people
00:14:28.380cannot be considered American citizens. I also don't think these people should be voting.
00:14:33.120And so ultimately, immigration without assimilation is invasion. I'm going to say that
00:14:38.580again. Immigration without assimilation is invasion. And so to flood a nation with millions
00:14:46.060of immigrants with no intention of assimilation, but rather really the intention of colonization
00:14:53.600and domination. That's a form of national suicide. And for that reason, I believe that
00:15:01.400immigration, especially from, well, from non-European nations, non-Christian nations
00:15:07.800into America should be highly restricted if, you know, maybe really stop all immigration together
00:15:14.280for a while. Now, many Christians have tried to use the Old Testament commands about, you know,
00:15:23.260loving the foreigner to justify mass immigration and diversity. But those passages were never a
00:15:30.980blank check for demographic replacement, okay? In Israel, foreigners were rare. They were so rare
00:15:38.180that they were recognizable. And they were expected to assimilate into the customs and
00:15:45.780religion of God's people. They were never permitted to enter in such numbers that they
00:15:52.760could overtake the existing population, replace the Hebrew people, replace their culture,
00:16:00.060or import their paganism. And so what does that mean for us? If we're going to take these
00:16:07.420biblical principles, we're going to take these and apply them to our context here in America.
00:16:15.820An American, in the fullest sense, is not merely someone who possesses documents or recites an
00:16:23.660oath. Those things are important. I think those things matter. I think we want to have that
00:16:29.220process still stay in place in terms of even entering into our country. But an American
00:16:34.880is someone who is bound to this nation in ancestry, in blood, in identity, loyalty,
00:16:42.820inheritance. Someone who shares in its history. It participates in its life,
00:16:53.680takes responsibility for the future. Ultimately, I think there's a difference between living in
00:17:00.620America and being an American. And I think we desperately need to recover that distinction.
00:17:09.160Now, I want to talk briefly about this concept of hyphenated Americanism. Now, part of recovering
00:17:18.820an Americanism is eliminating what has been called hyphenated Americanism. And these labels,
00:17:28.340like Asian American or Mexican American or Korean American or African American. They're
00:17:34.720everywhere. If you come here, you are not to come here to create some sort of parallel identity
00:17:43.440where America becomes some united nations of nations. By the way, this actually isn't a new
00:17:52.740frustration. People have been talking about, you know, hyphenated Americanism for a long time.
00:17:59.720In fact, if you go back to 1915, President Theodore Roosevelt in a speech said, quote,
00:18:08.440there is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. A hyphenated American is not an
00:18:15.080American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts native before the hyphen as of the man
00:18:22.420who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of
00:18:30.360the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must
00:18:36.780unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. The one absolutely certain way of
00:18:45.940bringing this nation to ruin, he says, of preventing all possibility of it continuing
00:18:51.880to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangible or a tangle of squabbling
00:18:59.020nationalities, an intricate knot of German Americans and Irish Americans and English
00:19:04.780Americans, French Americans, Scandinavian Americans, or Italian Americans, each preserving
00:19:10.560its separate nationality, each at the heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that
00:19:17.600nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become
00:19:24.920Americans, he says, and nothing else are hyphenated Americans. And there ought to be no room for them
00:19:33.380in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and yet shows by his actions
00:19:41.480that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land plays a thoroughly mischievous part
00:19:48.420in the life of our body politic. He has no place here, and the sooner he returns to the land
00:19:56.180to which he feels his real heart allegiance, the better, the better it will be for every good
00:20:03.380American, end quote. Man, what a powerful speech. And I think it's important. I think that we are
00:20:10.380seeing, you know, we have this parallel communities that are being created all over
00:20:18.260the country. It's why we have Chinatown in America, or Koreatown, or we have, you know,
00:20:25.460maybe Hispanic neighborhoods, or we have Asian neighborhoods, or Slavic neighborhoods.
00:20:32.400And so the idea to fight against hyphenated Americanism is a very important thing. I think
00:20:39.380we don't understand how much that produces a sense of division among the people here
00:20:46.920in our country. Before we jump back in, I wanted to tell you about something that we just launched
00:20:53.560over at the NXR store. Now, if you've been paying attention, you know that everybody's screaming,
00:20:57.840diversity is our greatest strength. Well, we thought that we should share our greatest
00:21:02.320strength with our greatest ally. So we made the official diversity for Israel t-shirt. You can
00:21:08.040grab yours at shop.newchristianright.com. Again, that's shop.newchristianright.com. While you're
00:21:14.620there, you should check out my new book, 19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment. It's one
00:21:19.200of those conversations that's so important and many people are not willing to have. I lay the
00:21:24.900case out fully, clearly, unapologetically, and depending on when you're watching this,
00:21:29.960you can either pre-order or you can order your copy now at newchristianright.com forward slash
00:21:35.92019. Again, that's newchristianright.com forward slash 19. So go grab yourself a shirt,
00:21:42.820pre-order the book, help us build something that actually pushes back. All right, let's get back
00:21:48.040into it. Now, this was prior to the Hart Seller Act and the destruction of our European-only
00:21:54.280immigration policies. So he's arguing about no hyphenated distinctions between the different
00:22:04.020white people, the different European people. And so if Roosevelt saw that that was happening and
00:22:11.380was struggling with that at that point, he would have an instant heart attack to see what is
00:22:18.740happening with the hyphenated Americanism of today. You know, you have this Pakistani American,
00:22:25.900Arab American, man, he would be tripping out over that. Now, I want to talk just briefly about this
00:22:33.220idea of Christian nationalism. I think it's a very important topic, and I think it's important
00:22:38.940for Christians and Americans to understand what it means. There's a lot of people that
00:22:43.420I think have produced some degree of counterfeit false scarecrow term versions of Christian
00:22:55.280nationalism, but I think it's worth trying to get a real understanding of what this means.
00:22:59.880And again, I'm going to offer, at some point in the future, a full episode on Christian
00:23:05.020nationalism, breaking that down, maybe even a couple episodes of what that really means.
00:23:08.780But this conversation certainly intersects with the conversation around Christian nationalism.
00:23:15.580Now, everyone understands the Christian side of Christian nationalism, but few people understand
00:23:23.960the nationalism side of Christian nationalism.
00:23:27.240And what I've realized recently is that what most self-proclaimed Christian nationalists
00:23:33.660actually want is they want a form of Christian multiculturalism. They want our current
00:23:41.860multi-ethnic America just Christianized. And you know what? I admit that that would be better than
00:23:52.160what we have now. I mean, if we had, you know, everybody that was here, even if it was multi-ethnic
00:23:57.780and even multicultural, if it was Christian, that would be great. I mean, that would be better than
00:24:03.420what we got right now. I'd love to have more Christians here. Now, but the reality is, is that's
00:24:09.700not Christian nationalism in terms of the emphasis on the word nationalism. You know, if we're being
00:24:15.860consistent with that title and we're being honest about that title, Christian nationalism requires
00:24:22.120us to recover both the Christianity side of this topic and the nationalism side of this topic.
00:24:31.360But again, if I just went back, I don't have it in front of me, but just the idea of the Oxford
00:24:37.760Dictionary definition of a nation, right? A nation is a group of people that share ancestry,
00:24:44.140that share history, that share identity, that share all of these things.
00:24:48.820Um, but again, most American Christians, they don't really want a Christian nation. They don't
00:24:59.120want a recovery of America's historic majority European identity. They want a Christianized
00:25:07.580multiculturalism or a Christianized ethnic pluralism. Now, why? Why? You know, because,
00:25:16.220you know, I think that we've been absolutely saturated and even like intellectually engineered
00:25:23.360in this diversity narrative. And that diversity narrative has created really a sense of white
00:25:31.400guilt. And the nationalism side of the Christian nationalist discussion, it feels racist to a lot
00:25:39.680of people, to many American Christians. I'll say this, it feels racist to white American Christians.
00:25:46.220And so to want an ethnic nationalism, an ethnic national identity, like Japan, right? Japan,
00:25:53.780I think, is 97% Japanese, right? Russia is over 90% white Russians. Mexico is like 90%
00:26:05.320plus Mexican. Korea is like 95% Korean. Almost every other, I mean, name a nation,
00:26:13.560Name a nation that's not a white nation, and you're going to have ethno-nationalism.
00:26:19.800And so, but to us, to us Western Christian nations, we have been made to feel as if it's wrong
00:26:30.180to, because of this kind of ethnic plural sensitivities that we've been given,
00:26:37.440that it's wrong for us to desire that America would be mostly white or mostly European.
00:26:44.520And as a result, I often hear Christian nationalists saying, you know, things like,
00:26:52.460all right, we have to restore a Christian culture in America.
00:26:58.660But I would just ask a few things. One,
00:27:02.560I don't know if you can correlate a Christian religion with a Christian culture. I think
00:27:09.980Christianity is a religion. I don't think it's a culture. I think culture is more defined by
00:27:16.700geography, by food, by community traditions, customs. I think you're going to get culture
00:27:30.220more out of that reality. And I think I'll make my point clear in a second. But again, if someone
00:27:37.460said, you know, we have to restore a Christian culture in America, the question that I think
00:27:43.100would be wise to ask is which Christian culture? The Hispanic Christian culture? The Ethiopian
00:27:51.740Christian culture? The Korean Christian culture? The Romanian or Slavic Christian culture? What
00:28:01.400about the Nigerian Christian culture? What about the Brazilian Christian culture? Which national
00:28:10.020culture will become the Christian culture in a Christianized culture in America?
00:28:18.340And here's what I think. I think that America should have an American Christian culture.
00:28:27.600So the question then becomes, well, what is an American culture? Well, yeah, I do think that
00:28:33.200religion shapes American culture to some degree. I think that it will inform that. I think Hinduism
00:28:41.320certainly shapes India's culture. But I do think that they're different. And I think that America
00:28:48.760has a culture primarily because of its people, because of its history, because of its roots,
00:28:54.380because of who it is or who we are as a people, because of the heroes that we have, the values
00:29:01.580and the virtues that we have, the part of geography that we're in. We're essentially a northern
00:29:09.900hemisphere nation, which again, historically, and I think biologically, we have people with
00:29:18.240lighter skin. We have lighter skin because we need to allow more vitamin D to be let into our
00:29:24.380skin for these northern hemispheric locations. And so that changes things, right? We have seasons
00:29:33.120here. Seasons change our culture. Down on the equator, there's really no at least heavily
00:29:42.140distinctive seasons. And there's people there with darker skin and different diets and different
00:29:49.200needs for their biological reality. And so again, I think that there's a lot of these things that
00:29:53.900are playing in culture. Actually, one thing that I think about is, is it strange to be putting
00:30:01.020and importing immigrants from places that are on the equator where their skin is designed
00:30:07.380to take in lots of vitamin D with darker skin. And because of that biological reality,
00:30:14.040they have certain foods that allow for their diet. Is it good to be importing millions of them
00:30:19.340to Minnesota like we are doing? Somalia is like one of the hottest places in the world.
00:30:24.540And we're taking an equator society and we're putting them in the millions up into Northern
00:30:36.440Hemisphere places like Minnesota. And to me, I just go, why? Why would these people who are made
00:30:46.220for the equator, their bodies tell them that? I mean, God didn't, you know, if God places people
00:30:53.440in certain places. We know 1 Corinthians chapter 12 says that God places people in the church
00:30:58.180as he wishes. We also know that God counts the numbers of hairs on our head.
00:31:04.620Why would he not also think about our skin color and place us in a particular environment
00:31:09.840that matches our skin color? So I think there is some sort of, you know, I just know about me.
00:31:17.880If I would look at me, I mean, I'm white, but if I was to go to sub-Saharan Africa,
00:31:24.700I wouldn't make it. I'd have to use all types of supplementation, you know, hats and shades,
00:31:31.840and I wouldn't be able to go out during the heat of the day and whatever else might be just to
00:31:35.660survive there. And so same with someone from the equator moving up to the north. I mean,
00:31:45.940I think you even see this in the population of the United States. I mean, where are the vast
00:31:51.660majority of black people living in the United States? Well, they're living in the South.
00:31:56.200I think that correlates and relates. Where are the most of the white people living in the United
00:31:59.560States? Well, they live in the North. And so again, to take people from an equator location
00:32:06.240and move them to a Northern hemisphere, they're going to have to have supplementation for their
00:32:13.580own bodies. They're going to have to probably have vitamin D as a supplement, maybe import food
00:32:22.480from different places in order to survive. But when I look at this kind of unnatural
00:32:28.280geography or geographic relocation, it makes me feel like it's planned, it's strategic,
00:32:37.680because it's not natural. Like, I don't think a bunch of Somalis are going, I want to go
00:32:44.560live where it's snowing half the year, where it's really cold. I don't, I mean, I don't know. I'm
00:32:51.420not Somali. But I do think there's some sort of organized intentionality that's scary. Same with
00:32:58.700Dearborn, Michigan. All right, you take Arabs living in a Mediterranean, subtropical reality,
00:33:06.460move into Michigan. So I think there's something there around, I think our skin colors certainly
00:33:14.200tell us, I don't think there's any rules for saying that we can't move around the world.
00:33:19.740But I do believe there's a normative reality is that you want to live somewhere probably that
00:33:24.400matches your skin color. And I think there's also transitional areas like, you know,
00:33:30.280my wife is Spanish and Hispanic. She's got a bit of a mix there.
00:33:36.460So her skin is a little bit more olive, you know, a little darker than mine. And so, you know, she's kind of a transitional zone. But even Mexico, I mean, is like, I don't know, 2,000 miles from the equator. And, you know, we live here in Arizona, right? So kind of a southern spot.
00:33:56.580So anyways, I think it's a worthy conversation to think about is, should we be, is it good
