The NXR Podcast

00:00:00.000 And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you.

00:00:10.360 Ask what you can do for your country.

00:00:12.800 This week on American Grit, I'll be answering one of our nation's most urgent questions.

00:00:33.980 What is an American? I'll also be addressing the evil of Europe's Muslim rape gangs, 1.00

00:00:39.540 the top-voted topics facing the American church, and I'll be talking about some specific strategies 0.99

00:00:44.340 that we can use to recover the West. All that and more coming up right now.

00:01:03.520 Welcome to American Grit. This is season one on American Identity. I'm your host,

00:01:08.460 Dale Partridge. This episode is titled, What is an American? A Theology of Blood, Soil, and Story.

00:01:14.000 Now, each season, I'm going to be covering a theme with about eight episodes to drive some hype.

00:01:19.300 Here's the next seven episodes. Number one, or I guess this would be number two,

00:01:23.940 is a biblical defense for Christian colonization and how it settled the West.

00:01:28.400 Number two would be Before the Fall, the glory of America's pre-war consensus.

00:01:34.080 Next episode will be the post-war consensus and how American victory destroyed us.

00:01:38.960 Then we'll be talking about the Hart Seller Act and the America's national suicide. 0.97

00:01:44.060 Then we'll be talking about baby boomers, the generation that destroyed America, Gen Z, 0.98

00:01:48.380 what it will require for young rage to recover America, and then five steps toward a practical 0.99

00:01:54.860 Christian nationalism. Now, in addition, I'm going to be offering a 20-minute segment on each show 0.64

00:01:59.720 called The Weekly Audit, where I'm going to be offering commentary on a few news stories or posts

00:02:04.900 from the previous week. So let's go ahead and dive in. So what is an American? I think this

00:02:12.760 might be one of the most urgent questions of our day. Is it paperwork that makes you an American?

00:02:18.280 Is it an oath? Is it the location of your birth certificate? Or is it something deeper? Something

00:02:26.380 that reaches beyond legal status into identity or ancestry or loyalty or maybe you're just way

00:02:32.580 of life. And before I answer that question, I think you need some categories. And since we're

00:02:37.560 Christians, I think that we should use biblical categories whenever possible. When we look at

00:02:42.300 the nation of Israel, we don't see a flat one-size-fits-all understanding of belonging

00:02:48.220 in the Old Testament. Instead, we see some distinctions. We see the native-born Israelite.

00:02:54.860 We see the sojourner, which is a resident alien who lives among the people and is currently

00:03:01.680 assimilating. 1.00

00:03:02.800 We see the foreigner, one who is passing through without covenantal attachment. 1.00

00:03:07.920 And we also see the stranger or the outsider who remains at a distance from the life and 1.00

00:03:14.080 worship of the nation.

00:03:16.040 Now, these categories help us to see that not everyone within a land relates to that

00:03:22.780 land in the same way.

00:03:23.680 And some are covenantally born into it. Some join themselves to it. Some benefit from it

00:03:30.080 without belonging to it. And some remain entirely outside of it. These are, again,

00:03:35.540 vital categories because we live in an egalitarian hellhole where essentially we're trying to make

00:03:42.500 everybody the same. We're eliminating distinctions because they believe really any hierarchy is

00:03:49.320 oppressive or racist or whatever they may call you. Ultimately, most people struggle with

00:03:56.240 distinctions because they cannot accept the reality of superiority and inferiority. They

00:04:03.800 cannot bear that some are wise and others are foolish, and some rule and others are subject, 0.89

00:04:10.060 or some are noble and others are ordinary. In the case of citizenship, some are privileged and 0.85

00:04:18.720 others are not. Some are primary, some are secondary. And rather than submitting to God's

00:04:24.140 design of order, they attempt to tear down any of these distinctions because if they cannot raise

00:04:29.300 what is low, they attack what is high in order to make everything appear equal. And that is

00:04:34.300 essentially the philosophy behind Marxism or DEI or, you know, critical race theory or any of these

00:04:42.360 other liberal philosophical models. But the project in that structure always falls apart.

00:04:51.660 It doesn't create justice. It just produces confusion and chaos. It essentially, it removes

00:04:56.240 accountability and leaves people increasingly divided and at odds with one another because

00:05:01.100 they know they're different, yet they are forced to pretend that they're the same.

00:05:06.360 In other words, America must restore clear distinctions between heritage American families

00:05:11.140 who have built and defended this nation for centuries, and immigrants.

00:05:16.660 Heritage Americans deserve unique privileges and priority in their own country.

00:05:23.660 The Center for Immigration Studies shows that over 53% of immigrant households live on welfare,

00:05:30.200 61% for illegal households, and up to 80% for Somali households.

00:05:35.580 That's frustrating because only 37% of U.S.-born households are on welfare and less than 25%

00:05:44.200 of those who are on second or third generation born American households. So as you're likely

00:05:51.740 already know, the preamble to the Constitution states, we the people of the United States,

00:05:58.620 in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide

00:06:04.640 for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty

00:06:10.740 to ourselves and our posterity. Do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States

00:06:19.100 of America. Now, America is a nation of European founding and extension. It was not created for

00:06:28.020 the posterity of Indians or Pakistanis or Nigerians. It was formed for the posterity

00:06:35.860 of our own Western European Christian ancestors. We are the ones who settled it. We established it.

00:06:44.300 We built it. And we did so for ourselves and our posterity. The idea that someone can step off a

00:06:53.820 plane from Ghana last week, signed a few papers, and instantly claimed the same rights, privileges,

00:07:00.160 and standing as a family that has paid taxes here for 240 years and shaped our institutions and sent 0.96

00:07:06.360 their sons to fight and die in America's wars is insane. It's a betrayal of the American people.

00:07:14.080 Now, ultimately, as you're going to see shortly, maybe in this episode or further episodes,

00:07:19.620 America has been reduced to an economic zone to exploit rather than a nation to inherit.

00:07:25.880 Now, if you're looking for the real sin, if you want to put like a categorical sin on the

00:07:32.300 particular topic, I think the sin is national theft. It's stealing. The motive driving many

00:07:39.580 arrivals through these immigrant nations is envy. It's covetousness. They're breaking 1.00

00:07:46.880 these commandments. They want what is not theirs, and they will systematically steal your children's 0.69

00:07:54.940 inheritance. Now, the Oxford Dictionary defines a nation as a body of people united by common

00:08:04.080 descent, history, culture, or language inhabiting a particular area or territory. Now, I'm going to

00:08:12.640 admit, some of these distinctions between heritage Americans and immigrants, they don't need to

00:08:17.100 remain permanent or absolute. They simply require real assimilation, not merely multicultural peace,

00:08:23.560 but biblical assimilation. And that means adaptation to language and culture and Christian 0.93

00:08:30.340 values. And ultimately, and here's the big one, this is a big one, intermarriage. I know that's

00:08:34.980 a hot topic right now and there's lots of discussion around it, but intermarriage into 0.97

00:08:39.800 what I would say is the deliberate elimination of one's former ethnicity so that the immigrant's

00:08:45.940 identity is fully absorbed into the host people. That's a big statement. It essentially requires 0.98

00:08:53.620 someone to say, to look at themselves and say, you know what? I don't want to be me anymore.

00:08:58.960 Now, I think there's some valid reasons to do that, to have essentially a form of transnationalism.

00:09:06.600 But I think it's a conversation that we need to have some categories to think about.

00:09:10.220 We see this with Ruth, the Moabite, in Scripture.

00:09:14.820 She declared, your God will be my God, and your people will be my people. 0.98

00:09:19.820 Ultimately, she's willing and allowing her Moabite identity to be essentially eliminated and subsumed into Israel. 0.96

00:09:29.120 Now, this was a form of ethnic renunciation. 0.97

00:09:32.860 It was rejecting her ancestry in submission to God and ascending from a pagan people to God's

00:09:40.960 covenant people. Now, again, outside of that specific rationale, I believe rejection of one's 0.80

00:09:45.740 own lineage would possibly, you know, violate the fifth commandment to honor your father

00:09:51.560 and mother. Now, to be clear, what I'm talking about here does differ from today's kind of

00:09:58.480 casual view of interracial marriage. Ruth and Boaz, they're from the same region and they very

00:10:05.380 likely had similar appearances in terms of their skin color. So to correlate Ruth and Boaz as being

00:10:11.440 an equal parallel to say like a white Minnesota woman and a black Somali man, I think that's 0.99

00:10:17.120 foolish. Also, Ruth is essentially, as a woman, she's subsumed into Israel. That is that Ruth 0.98

00:10:25.840 entered into her husband's ethnicity, not the other way around. And this was the kind of normative 0.61

00:10:31.020 pattern under biblical patriarchy. Now, for a man to immigrate and to kind of lose himself 0.52

00:10:38.360 in his wife's ethnicity would be extremely abnormal. The only biblical justification would 0.99

00:10:44.120 be a man leaving a pagan nation to embrace a godly nation. And we see this with Uriah the Hittite. 0.71

00:10:53.460 I think that's a valid reality, right? He marries Bathsheba. He comes into this world. Obviously, 0.92

00:10:59.820 he has a bad ending with David. But other exceptions might be some form of war,

00:11:06.960 some form of maybe a displacement that maybe there's a missionary sacrificing his heritage

00:11:16.200 for the sake of the gospel. So again, generally speaking, I think biblical assimilation is

00:11:24.100 regional, religious, assimilating, and at some degree, multi-generational.

00:11:32.880 So if we just take that principle, you know, and we apply it to America, it might look something

00:11:40.820 like this. A Hispanic family from, you know, say Northern Mexico, right? Half Spanish,

00:11:49.760 half Mexican, right? So they got some sort of Spanish or European, right? So that's a lot of

00:11:54.940 Hispanics already are mixed Europeans, especially Northern Mexico. So let's just say that this

00:12:01.400 Northern Mexico family comes to Arizona and their hope is to submit to Christ under a Christian

00:12:07.800 government and a Christian culture. Now, I would not count these first-generation migrants as

00:12:14.800 American citizens, even if they came here legally. They couldn't vote. They couldn't be on welfare. 1.00

00:12:21.780 They would have to pay taxes, and they'd have to have no criminal record to maintain

00:12:27.180 even their ability to stay here. But let's just say that their daughter is raised to speak English.

00:12:34.920 She fully commits to Western American Christian culture, and she intermarries with an American

00:12:42.160 Christian man who lives in Arizona. Now, ultimately, like Boaz, this American Arizonan man

00:12:50.920 is essentially assimilating this woman into the American ethnicity. Now, let's just say that they

00:12:58.620 have some children. Because the children are coming from a heritage American as the father,

00:13:05.700 I believe their children would be citizens. And their sons and daughters should, I think,

00:13:10.640 follow and continue that pattern that they are fully assimilated Americans. And I think that

00:13:17.800 process happens over time. Now, in fact, if we look at Ruth, if we look at her son, her son was

00:13:27.700 not David, though her great-grandson was David. God placed three generations of people between

00:13:37.540 Ruth and King David. And so the principle implies that essentially a few generations are required 0.65

00:13:45.720 for a family to become fully integrated into the life and the identity of a particular nation.

00:13:55.080 And so the goal is simple, right? Citizens must have investment in both America's past

00:14:03.580 and its future. So to have people that are not having that investment, right? If you just come

00:14:11.840 here, you don't have children, you don't have ancestors, parents or grandparents or great

00:14:20.960 grandparents that are here. You don't have an investment in the past. And then if you're not

00:14:25.320 having children, you still don't have an investment in the future. I think these people

00:14:28.380 cannot be considered American citizens. I also don't think these people should be voting.

00:14:33.120 And so ultimately, immigration without assimilation is invasion. I'm going to say that 0.99

00:14:38.580 again. Immigration without assimilation is invasion. And so to flood a nation with millions 1.00

00:14:46.060 of immigrants with no intention of assimilation, but rather really the intention of colonization 0.99

00:14:53.600 and domination. That's a form of national suicide. And for that reason, I believe that 0.99

00:15:01.400 immigration, especially from, well, from non-European nations, non-Christian nations 0.99

00:15:07.800 into America should be highly restricted if, you know, maybe really stop all immigration together

00:15:14.280 for a while. Now, many Christians have tried to use the Old Testament commands about, you know, 1.00

00:15:23.260 loving the foreigner to justify mass immigration and diversity. But those passages were never a

00:15:30.980 blank check for demographic replacement, okay? In Israel, foreigners were rare. They were so rare 0.81

00:15:38.180 that they were recognizable. And they were expected to assimilate into the customs and

00:15:45.780 religion of God's people. They were never permitted to enter in such numbers that they 0.96

00:15:52.760 could overtake the existing population, replace the Hebrew people, replace their culture, 0.72

00:16:00.060 or import their paganism. And so what does that mean for us? If we're going to take these

00:16:07.420 biblical principles, we're going to take these and apply them to our context here in America.

00:16:15.820 An American, in the fullest sense, is not merely someone who possesses documents or recites an

00:16:23.660 oath. Those things are important. I think those things matter. I think we want to have that

00:16:29.220 process still stay in place in terms of even entering into our country. But an American 1.00

00:16:34.880 is someone who is bound to this nation in ancestry, in blood, in identity, loyalty,

00:16:42.820 inheritance. Someone who shares in its history. It participates in its life,

00:16:53.680 takes responsibility for the future. Ultimately, I think there's a difference between living in

00:17:00.620 America and being an American. And I think we desperately need to recover that distinction.

00:17:09.160 Now, I want to talk briefly about this concept of hyphenated Americanism. Now, part of recovering

00:17:18.820 an Americanism is eliminating what has been called hyphenated Americanism. And these labels,

00:17:28.340 like Asian American or Mexican American or Korean American or African American. They're

00:17:34.720 everywhere. If you come here, you are not to come here to create some sort of parallel identity

00:17:43.440 where America becomes some united nations of nations. By the way, this actually isn't a new

00:17:52.740 frustration. People have been talking about, you know, hyphenated Americanism for a long time.

00:17:59.720 In fact, if you go back to 1915, President Theodore Roosevelt in a speech said, quote,

00:18:08.440 there is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. A hyphenated American is not an

00:18:15.080 American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts native before the hyphen as of the man 0.97

00:18:22.420 who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of

00:18:30.360 the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must

00:18:36.780 unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. The one absolutely certain way of

00:18:45.940 bringing this nation to ruin, he says, of preventing all possibility of it continuing

00:18:51.880 to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangible or a tangle of squabbling

00:18:59.020 nationalities, an intricate knot of German Americans and Irish Americans and English

00:19:04.780 Americans, French Americans, Scandinavian Americans, or Italian Americans, each preserving

00:19:10.560 its separate nationality, each at the heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that

00:19:17.600 nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become 0.98

00:19:24.920 Americans, he says, and nothing else are hyphenated Americans. And there ought to be no room for them 1.00

00:19:33.380 in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and yet shows by his actions

00:19:41.480 that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land plays a thoroughly mischievous part 0.75

00:19:48.420 in the life of our body politic. He has no place here, and the sooner he returns to the land 1.00

00:19:56.180 to which he feels his real heart allegiance, the better, the better it will be for every good

00:20:03.380 American, end quote. Man, what a powerful speech. And I think it's important. I think that we are

00:20:10.380 seeing, you know, we have this parallel communities that are being created all over

00:20:18.260 the country. It's why we have Chinatown in America, or Koreatown, or we have, you know,

00:20:25.460 maybe Hispanic neighborhoods, or we have Asian neighborhoods, or Slavic neighborhoods.

00:20:32.400 And so the idea to fight against hyphenated Americanism is a very important thing. I think

00:20:39.380 we don't understand how much that produces a sense of division among the people here

00:20:46.920 in our country. Before we jump back in, I wanted to tell you about something that we just launched

00:20:53.560 over at the NXR store. Now, if you've been paying attention, you know that everybody's screaming,

00:20:57.840 diversity is our greatest strength. Well, we thought that we should share our greatest

00:21:02.320 strength with our greatest ally. So we made the official diversity for Israel t-shirt. You can

00:21:08.040 grab yours at shop.newchristianright.com. Again, that's shop.newchristianright.com. While you're

00:21:14.620 there, you should check out my new book, 19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment. It's one

00:21:19.200 of those conversations that's so important and many people are not willing to have. I lay the

00:21:24.900 case out fully, clearly, unapologetically, and depending on when you're watching this,

00:21:29.960 you can either pre-order or you can order your copy now at newchristianright.com forward slash

00:21:35.920 19. Again, that's newchristianright.com forward slash 19. So go grab yourself a shirt,

00:21:42.820 pre-order the book, help us build something that actually pushes back. All right, let's get back

00:21:48.040 into it. Now, this was prior to the Hart Seller Act and the destruction of our European-only 0.86

00:21:54.280 immigration policies. So he's arguing about no hyphenated distinctions between the different

00:22:04.020 white people, the different European people. And so if Roosevelt saw that that was happening and

00:22:11.380 was struggling with that at that point, he would have an instant heart attack to see what is

00:22:18.740 happening with the hyphenated Americanism of today. You know, you have this Pakistani American, 1.00

00:22:25.900 Arab American, man, he would be tripping out over that. Now, I want to talk just briefly about this 1.00

00:22:33.220 idea of Christian nationalism. I think it's a very important topic, and I think it's important

00:22:38.940 for Christians and Americans to understand what it means. There's a lot of people that

00:22:43.420 I think have produced some degree of counterfeit false scarecrow term versions of Christian

00:22:55.280 nationalism, but I think it's worth trying to get a real understanding of what this means.

00:22:59.880 And again, I'm going to offer, at some point in the future, a full episode on Christian

00:23:05.020 nationalism, breaking that down, maybe even a couple episodes of what that really means.

00:23:08.780 But this conversation certainly intersects with the conversation around Christian nationalism.

00:23:15.580 Now, everyone understands the Christian side of Christian nationalism, but few people understand

00:23:23.960 the nationalism side of Christian nationalism.

00:23:27.240 And what I've realized recently is that what most self-proclaimed Christian nationalists

00:23:33.660 actually want is they want a form of Christian multiculturalism. They want our current

00:23:41.860 multi-ethnic America just Christianized. And you know what? I admit that that would be better than 0.73

00:23:52.160 what we have now. I mean, if we had, you know, everybody that was here, even if it was multi-ethnic 1.00

00:23:57.780 and even multicultural, if it was Christian, that would be great. I mean, that would be better than 1.00

00:24:03.420 what we got right now. I'd love to have more Christians here. Now, but the reality is, is that's 1.00

00:24:09.700 not Christian nationalism in terms of the emphasis on the word nationalism. You know, if we're being

00:24:15.860 consistent with that title and we're being honest about that title, Christian nationalism requires

00:24:22.120 us to recover both the Christianity side of this topic and the nationalism side of this topic.

00:24:31.360 But again, if I just went back, I don't have it in front of me, but just the idea of the Oxford

00:24:37.760 Dictionary definition of a nation, right? A nation is a group of people that share ancestry,

00:24:44.140 that share history, that share identity, that share all of these things. 0.64

00:24:48.820 Um, but again, most American Christians, they don't really want a Christian nation. They don't 0.81

00:24:59.120 want a recovery of America's historic majority European identity. They want a Christianized 0.99

00:25:07.580 multiculturalism or a Christianized ethnic pluralism. Now, why? Why? You know, because,

00:25:16.220 you know, I think that we've been absolutely saturated and even like intellectually engineered

00:25:23.360 in this diversity narrative. And that diversity narrative has created really a sense of white

00:25:31.400 guilt. And the nationalism side of the Christian nationalist discussion, it feels racist to a lot

00:25:39.680 of people, to many American Christians. I'll say this, it feels racist to white American Christians.

00:25:46.220 And so to want an ethnic nationalism, an ethnic national identity, like Japan, right? Japan,

00:25:53.780 I think, is 97% Japanese, right? Russia is over 90% white Russians. Mexico is like 90%

00:26:05.320 plus Mexican. Korea is like 95% Korean. Almost every other, I mean, name a nation,

00:26:13.560 Name a nation that's not a white nation, and you're going to have ethno-nationalism.

00:26:19.800 And so, but to us, to us Western Christian nations, we have been made to feel as if it's wrong

00:26:30.180 to, because of this kind of ethnic plural sensitivities that we've been given,

00:26:37.440 that it's wrong for us to desire that America would be mostly white or mostly European.

00:26:44.520 And as a result, I often hear Christian nationalists saying, you know, things like,

00:26:52.460 all right, we have to restore a Christian culture in America.

00:26:58.660 But I would just ask a few things. One,

00:27:02.560 I don't know if you can correlate a Christian religion with a Christian culture. I think 0.56

00:27:09.980 Christianity is a religion. I don't think it's a culture. I think culture is more defined by 0.98

00:27:16.700 geography, by food, by community traditions, customs. I think you're going to get culture

00:27:30.220 more out of that reality. And I think I'll make my point clear in a second. But again, if someone

00:27:37.460 said, you know, we have to restore a Christian culture in America, the question that I think

00:27:43.100 would be wise to ask is which Christian culture? The Hispanic Christian culture? The Ethiopian

00:27:51.740 Christian culture? The Korean Christian culture? The Romanian or Slavic Christian culture? What 0.90

00:28:01.400 about the Nigerian Christian culture? What about the Brazilian Christian culture? Which national

00:28:10.020 culture will become the Christian culture in a Christianized culture in America? 0.98

00:28:18.340 And here's what I think. I think that America should have an American Christian culture.

00:28:27.600 So the question then becomes, well, what is an American culture? Well, yeah, I do think that

00:28:33.200 religion shapes American culture to some degree. I think that it will inform that. I think Hinduism

00:28:41.320 certainly shapes India's culture. But I do think that they're different. And I think that America 1.00

00:28:48.760 has a culture primarily because of its people, because of its history, because of its roots,

00:28:54.380 because of who it is or who we are as a people, because of the heroes that we have, the values

00:29:01.580 and the virtues that we have, the part of geography that we're in. We're essentially a northern

00:29:09.900 hemisphere nation, which again, historically, and I think biologically, we have people with

00:29:18.240 lighter skin. We have lighter skin because we need to allow more vitamin D to be let into our

00:29:24.380 skin for these northern hemispheric locations. And so that changes things, right? We have seasons

00:29:33.120 here. Seasons change our culture. Down on the equator, there's really no at least heavily

00:29:42.140 distinctive seasons. And there's people there with darker skin and different diets and different

00:29:49.200 needs for their biological reality. And so again, I think that there's a lot of these things that

00:29:53.900 are playing in culture. Actually, one thing that I think about is, is it strange to be putting

00:30:01.020 and importing immigrants from places that are on the equator where their skin is designed 0.71

00:30:07.380 to take in lots of vitamin D with darker skin. And because of that biological reality,

00:30:14.040 they have certain foods that allow for their diet. Is it good to be importing millions of them

00:30:19.340 to Minnesota like we are doing? Somalia is like one of the hottest places in the world. 0.99

00:30:24.540 And we're taking an equator society and we're putting them in the millions up into Northern

00:30:36.440 Hemisphere places like Minnesota. And to me, I just go, why? Why would these people who are made

00:30:46.220 for the equator, their bodies tell them that? I mean, God didn't, you know, if God places people

00:30:53.440 in certain places. We know 1 Corinthians chapter 12 says that God places people in the church

00:30:58.180 as he wishes. We also know that God counts the numbers of hairs on our head.

00:31:04.620 Why would he not also think about our skin color and place us in a particular environment

00:31:09.840 that matches our skin color? So I think there is some sort of, you know, I just know about me.

00:31:17.880 If I would look at me, I mean, I'm white, but if I was to go to sub-Saharan Africa,

00:31:24.700 I wouldn't make it. I'd have to use all types of supplementation, you know, hats and shades,

00:31:31.840 and I wouldn't be able to go out during the heat of the day and whatever else might be just to

00:31:35.660 survive there. And so same with someone from the equator moving up to the north. I mean,

00:31:45.940 I think you even see this in the population of the United States. I mean, where are the vast

00:31:51.660 majority of black people living in the United States? Well, they're living in the South. 0.51

00:31:56.200 I think that correlates and relates. Where are the most of the white people living in the United

00:31:59.560 States? Well, they live in the North. And so again, to take people from an equator location 0.99

00:32:06.240 and move them to a Northern hemisphere, they're going to have to have supplementation for their

00:32:13.580 own bodies. They're going to have to probably have vitamin D as a supplement, maybe import food

00:32:22.480 from different places in order to survive. But when I look at this kind of unnatural

00:32:28.280 geography or geographic relocation, it makes me feel like it's planned, it's strategic,

00:32:37.680 because it's not natural. Like, I don't think a bunch of Somalis are going, I want to go 1.00

00:32:44.560 live where it's snowing half the year, where it's really cold. I don't, I mean, I don't know. I'm 1.00

00:32:51.420 not Somali. But I do think there's some sort of organized intentionality that's scary. Same with

00:32:58.700 Dearborn, Michigan. All right, you take Arabs living in a Mediterranean, subtropical reality, 1.00

00:33:06.460 move into Michigan. So I think there's something there around, I think our skin colors certainly

00:33:14.200 tell us, I don't think there's any rules for saying that we can't move around the world.

00:33:19.740 But I do believe there's a normative reality is that you want to live somewhere probably that

00:33:24.400 matches your skin color. And I think there's also transitional areas like, you know,

00:33:30.280 my wife is Spanish and Hispanic. She's got a bit of a mix there. 0.65

00:33:36.460 So 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.

00:33:56.580 So anyways, I think it's a worthy conversation to think about is, should we be, is it good

00:34:02.320 for us?

00:34:02.860 The only reason we can do it is because of our ability to be transient people in airplanes

00:34:09.440 and technological advances.

00:34:13.140 You know, I say the same thing actually around things like, is it good for us to be in Canada

00:34:18.400 and importing watermelon to eat in December?

00:34:22.680 I don't know.

00:34:23.300 I just don't think it's right.

00:34:24.240 I think there's probably something that we're going to figure out about our diet that we go,

00:34:29.480 yeah, you know what?

00:34:30.120 That's actually not good to be eating watermelon in December.

00:34:33.360 Like nobody did that for thousands and thousands of years.

00:34:37.740 And same thing with, again, this mass migration that's kind of mixing up people groups, you 0.53

00:34:44.880 know, putting, there's also, by the way, like there's no like white people, colonies that

00:34:51.500 like mass migrating to equator locations. It's really just a one-way migration. We're seeing

00:35:00.740 migration that's going from the equator up to these northern hemispheric nations, these white 0.83

00:35:09.760 Christian westernized nations. Well, and we know. We know the reason why. You know, if you think 0.87

00:35:16.180 about these things, on the equator, this is something that I've read. There's actually a

00:35:22.100 book. I have it on my shelf. It's called The Bell Curve. And it talks about IQ differences

00:35:27.320 between different groups and how IQ is essentially stable. It's actually, you know,

00:35:34.000 you could go for generations and it really stays the same. And if you have nations that are on

00:35:41.380 the equator. And these nations don't have the gospel in addition to this, but they're outside.

00:35:48.860 They don't have seasons. They don't have food prep. They don't have the need to build

00:35:55.840 indoor societies, planning ahead. What they do do is they are outside a lot and they are

00:36:04.400 physical. And we kind of recognize that there is a physical strength of people with darker skin.

00:36:14.780 That's why they dominate the professional sports arenas. In the North, however, you had more 0.96

00:36:22.280 complex seasons, needs for interior life. What do you do when you're inside? Well, you read,

00:36:29.040 you study, you do intellectual development. I think over thousands of years, in combination

00:36:34.820 with the gospel coming from Jerusalem to Rome to Europe and to America, essentially what we get is

00:36:40.840 we have higher IQs. And that's why Northern Hemispheric places have higher IQs, maybe the

00:36:47.640 average of 100, where people on the equator have an IQ of between 65 and 80. And so you have these

00:36:57.420 lower IQ people that are trying to come in and migrate into the higher IQ places. Of course they

00:37:03.520 are, right? Of course. They want what we have. They want what we've built. They want water

00:37:11.400 plumbed into their house. They want to live on our welfare systems. They want all these things. 1.00

00:37:18.780 But again, the thief wants my car. Do I give it to him? Like the rapist wants my wife.

00:37:26.860 do I give it to him? No. No, I don't give it to him. Well, why? Because it's not his. 1.00

00:37:33.540 And so our nation, again, if we just go back to the Constitution, that we have this place for

00:37:39.820 ourselves and our posterity, why are we giving it away? These people are coming in with no

00:37:45.660 intention of assimilation, and they're the wrong people. They shouldn't be allowed into this. 1.00

00:37:50.700 They hate us. They hate our way of life. They hate our religion. In fact, the crime rates,

00:37:57.940 the welfare rates, they're astronomical. They're not Americans. They'll never be Americans. 1.00

00:38:05.760 So it's an important discussion to be having. And again, I think if we're going to have a 0.99

00:38:12.820 Christian culture in America, that it needs to be an American Christian culture. And so the battle 0.97

00:38:18.880 before us is not just whether America can be robustly Christian again, but whether America 0.79

00:38:25.440 can be a nation again. That's the question, because we've lost, we've had some degree of 0.91

00:38:30.420 national suicide. We have to ask ourselves, can we become a nation again? I think right now,

00:38:36.600 kind of more like an empire, the American empire. We're not so much a nation. And I don't know what

00:38:43.980 that's going to look like. Is it going to mean that we're going to have to get smaller, get into

00:38:48.460 a different group of states. I don't know. I don't know. But I do know that we need to have

00:38:56.760 some national purity at this point. And so multiculturalism is never ideal because what 0.96

00:39:05.160 it does is it places people or people's competing loyalties within a shared space.

00:39:13.420 I've often said this quote. I'm not that smart, okay, guys? But this quote was good, all right?

00:39:22.020 I was writing, I was actually, I can't take all credit for it, but I'll say this. I was writing,

00:39:26.940 I was reading Return of the Strong Gods by R.R. Reno. And what came to me in this

00:39:34.140 comprehension of his thoughts here was that nationalism creates wars with other nations.

00:39:42.080 but multiculturalism creates wars within nations. And I think that's important to understand the

00:39:49.140 distinction there. Nationalism, we get that, right? Pre-war consensus, nationalistic societies,

00:39:54.980 we create wars with other nations. But multiculturalism creates wars within nations.

00:40:01.720 And that's, I think, what we're seeing, what we're feeling. Now, if all groups submit to Christ, 0.74

00:40:09.400 visible differences like skin color, they're still going to remain. And why does that matter? 0.92

00:40:17.980 Why does skin color matter? Well, again, God created people with skin colors.

00:40:23.760 And so they matter because they're providential. Well, visual likeness, just visual likeness,

00:40:30.300 it produces attraction, right? Like if you're a white guy in Japan and everybody's Japanese 0.93

00:40:37.380 and you see another white guy, you're going to go over there and try to talk to him. Hey,

00:40:42.080 do you speak English? Whatever it might be. Hey, where are you from? Visual likeness produces

00:40:46.900 attraction. I mean, we see this all throughout the animal kingdom as well. You don't see sparrows

00:40:51.020 hanging out with pigeons. You don't see lions hanging out with bears. Visual likeness produces

00:40:57.620 attraction. It also produces familiarity, trust, bonding, which in turn creates associations.

00:41:04.200 right? It creates communities. It creates culture. It creates tradition, shared history,

00:41:08.540 language, all of these things, right? In other words, outside of kind of the liberal agenda

00:41:14.440 for diversity, people generally self-segregate. I think that's true. I think that's what pisses 1.00

00:41:21.520 everybody off about these ads of diversity, where it's like a bank commercial, and everybody's

00:41:30.620 eating ice cream. And it's like a white lady with red hair and then like an Asian guy and

00:41:35.480 then like a black woman and then like a Muslim. And it's like, we hate it because it's just not 1.00

00:41:41.540 reality. Like maybe it's reality in like New York City in some random spot. But it's not reality

00:41:48.720 for the average person. So it just feels like a lie. Generally, people self-segregate generally.

00:41:54.660 You go to a prison for an hour, and you're quickly going to see that skin color matters. 0.73

00:42:02.680 The blacks are going to be with the blacks, the whites with the whites, the Hispanics with the 0.95

00:42:05.160 Hispanics. That's just something that's going to happen. And again, I think there's some ethnicities 1.00

00:42:11.320 that have closer relations with one another. I think whites and Hispanics have a little bit of

00:42:16.900 a closer relationship here in the South where I live. You know, I think, you know, Asians and

00:42:24.460 whites also have a kind of a closer relationship. Southern California, living outside of Irvine,

00:42:29.340 I experienced that a bit too. And so, again, I'm not saying that we can't have inter-ethnic

00:42:36.160 friends. I think we can. I think many of us do. I think that it's actually, you know,

00:42:43.500 there's nothing sinful about it. I think it's very common. I myself have plenty of inter-ethnic

00:42:47.920 friends as well. I'm just saying that even within the Christian church, we're generally

00:42:52.800 hanging with people who are like us. And this is why we have Hispanic churches. We have Slavic

00:42:59.820 churches. We have Black churches. We have Korean churches all across America. In fact, I was on

00:43:06.560 the site, I was looking at Southern Seminary's website, and they had a degree program. It's

00:43:12.480 still up. You can look at this. A degree program for Black church leadership. I mean, just think

00:43:17.960 about how insane that would be if you had one for white church leadership. Crazy. But again, 0.99

00:43:23.580 there is really, truly a Black church because, again, visual likeness produces familiarity.

00:43:30.120 Familiarity produces association. Association produces community. Community produces degree

00:43:36.840 programs at seminaries for black churches, right? So again, beyond that, multiculturalism encourages 0.97

00:43:42.840 inter-ethnic marriages. Now, this happens all the time. You look on TV and it's like a black guy

00:43:50.660 with a white woman every single time. I mean, it's very rare that it's anything else, but it's 0.93

00:43:54.780 always black guy with a white woman. And it's not for the sake of assimilation, but there's just 0.89

00:44:02.800 all these, again, interracial relationships like as if they're totally normal when they're like 0.51

00:44:08.500 less than 2% of the population. Now, for an example, like, you know, let's just say

00:44:16.240 an Indian might marry a Korean in America. Now, the problem with this is that it produces 0.99

00:44:24.800 what I would call at some degree like a national orphan. And these are children who they don't

00:44:30.000 know where their loyalty, their ethnic loyalty belongs. Like, does it belong to India, to Korea,

00:44:35.640 or to America? Which fathers and forefathers and foremothers should they be honoring? You know,

00:44:42.500 and again, individualism has made it so that we don't care about this. We don't think about

00:44:46.660 anything in the past except ourselves. But when these children are Christian, they often become 1.00

00:44:55.120 what I call functional Gnostics. You know, they kind of do this thing where it's like, you know, 1.00

00:45:01.220 I don't have an identity in this world. I just identify with Christ. And right, that's good,

00:45:05.820 right? We want to identify with Christ. But for these people, everything becomes purely spiritual

00:45:10.740 and kind of the material world doesn't matter much. And naturally, it's difficult for these

00:45:15.320 people to see the value in nationalism or ancestry or heritage because of their circumstances.

00:45:21.920 You know, if they were to value nationalism, they would essentially have to acknowledge

00:45:26.380 that their own story was at least not historically normative, right? It was not, again,

00:45:32.480 interracial marriage like 150 years ago was, not only was it generally illegal in a lot of places,

00:45:38.980 it just wasn't happening. We don't have multicultural nations anywhere in history.

00:45:45.640 This is a new thing, 1960 and forward. And so, again, nationalism is not about hating foreigners.

00:45:53.400 It's about loving your own people and your country. It's not about being a bigot. It's

00:45:57.320 about being patriotic. Now, the word patriot comes from the Latin root word pater, which means

00:46:04.120 father, right? So true patriotism means loving your forefathers and loving your children and

00:46:11.220 your grandchildren enough to preserve what was handed down to you. And so recovering America

00:46:17.440 is at its root about cherishing our Western European Christian heritage. And in doing so,

00:46:22.160 I believe you actually love the world. And what I mean by that is that when strong and powerful

00:46:28.320 nations like the United States or England or Germany or whatever it may be are Christian, 0.99

00:46:33.500 I think the world is actually better or safer. In fact, I think if you look throughout history, 0.53

00:46:37.620 you see these Christian nations reaching out, sending missionaries, colonizing different places

00:46:43.300 with the gospel. So we do, we want these nations to be strong. If we get a collapsing West,

00:46:52.560 who's going to send missionaries out? You have to send missionaries to us. 1.00

00:46:56.300 We used to be a very strong nation that would be colonizing African nations and colonizing

00:47:02.660 South American nations for the gospel. We can't do that when we are collapsing under the weight

00:47:09.200 of multiculturalism. And why does all this matter? And because it's the basis of this show. 1.00

00:47:15.640 You cannot understand American grit without defining an American. You know, similar to kind

00:47:21.180 of the Matt Walsh famous question, what is a woman? You can't define beautiful womanhood

00:47:26.700 if you don't know what a woman is. And so to answer the question, you know, what is an American?

00:47:31.300 I'm just going to give you my best shot here. I think an American is primarily a person born

00:47:37.220 of American parents, generally of European descent, who cherish and defend the historic

00:47:44.860 Christian character and identity of the United States. That's kind of my rough definition.

00:47:50.120 Now, I used to use, I use terms like primarily and generally because I acknowledge that

00:48:00.120 America has included two exceptions for nearly 400 years. We have had a majority, or sorry,

00:48:09.840 a minority of heritage American Blacks whose families have been here since the early colonial

00:48:16.680 period through slavery, obviously. And there's lots of discussion around that. We've also acquired

00:48:23.700 much of the Western United States from Mexico. That happened in 1848, which gave us a native 0.89

00:48:31.520 population of heritage American Hispanics as well. Now, until 1960, America was approximately 88%

00:48:38.840 white. By 1990, that figure had declined to about 81% white. So historically, America is,

00:48:49.820 and I believe should, remain a majority white nation. Why? Well, because that's its historic 0.97

00:48:55.820 identity. That's aligned with the constitutional mandate. Now, again, if you squirm when I said

00:49:03.900 that we should be a majority white nation or a majority European nation, 0.58

00:49:12.300 why are you squirming? If I said I believe that Nigeria should remain a majority black nation,

00:49:18.900 would you care? Or what if I said Japan should remain a majority Japanese nation? 0.99

00:49:24.240 You probably wouldn't care. And so the truth is, if you're a white American, 0.67

00:49:30.020 you have been trained to hate yourself. America was built by a specific people with a specific 0.80

00:49:35.200 heritage, and it cannot survive if that people are shamed into preferring others over its own

00:49:41.440 native population. And again, it's not about hating. It's about loving your forefathers.

00:49:48.160 A wise man once said,

00:49:49.720 if you want to destroy a people,

00:49:53.600 sever them from the roots.

00:49:55.120 Another man, another quote I saw was,

00:49:57.460 a nation's grave is dug with the shovel of forgetfulness.

00:50:02.300 So identity drives activity.

00:50:03.760 And if we're going to actively recover a historic America,

00:50:07.880 we must first restore our identity.

00:50:11.540 Our people, our values, our virtues, our loves,

00:50:16.000 they must be restored.

00:50:16.820 From that place, we can change policy and work, you know, a multi-generational plan for

00:50:22.060 American restoration. Now on that note, let's move to our next segment. Let's talk about the weekly

00:50:28.840 audit. A couple of news stories that I want to talk about. Just a few things here. This first

00:50:40.280 issue is this, we got this British guy and he is essentially, I believe he's in South America.

00:50:50.960 No, not South America, South Africa. And I wish I could show this video. And maybe as my tech team

00:50:58.240 grows, we'll get these kinds of functionalities here. But this British guy essentially asks these

00:51:04.500 three Muslim men, what they think about rape, what they think about rape. And the first guy 0.95

00:51:14.800 is like, well, yeah, it's, it's, you know, it's hard because you know what, sometimes,

00:51:19.440 sometimes the woman screams, you know, and sometimes she wakes up, you know, the neighbors

00:51:24.260 and, and, you know, and we have to calm her down. And he's like, shocked, like, wait, what? Like,

00:51:29.540 no, like what, what about the woman? And then the next guy goes, yeah, yeah. You know what? We,

00:51:34.820 we sometimes, we sometimes wake up and with this fear that we might wake up with STDs.

00:51:42.520 And again, this British guy is shocked and he's like, wait, no, no. What, what about,

00:51:48.500 what about the woman? Do you care about the woman? And that the third guy, uh, says, um,

00:51:54.640 yeah, yeah, you know, we, we, what if she fell pregnant? You know, what if she fell pregnant?

00:52:00.960 That would be hard. You know, who would be the father, you know? And the British guy's like, 0.89

00:52:04.780 no, what about the woman? See, the reality is, is that people don't, these people,

00:52:15.360 when your IQ is really low, it's hard for you to distinguish right and wrong. Like morality

00:52:20.820 becomes more difficult. On top of the fact, if you've been in a pagan nation for thousands of 0.99

00:52:26.880 years, you have generational sin that's just coming down at such a degree that you have no 0.98

00:52:33.180 morality whatsoever. There's a quote from a book. I wish I had it up, but it's called The Camp of

00:52:40.920 the Saints. And it talks about this idea that these people, they won't understand you. And he

00:52:47.480 ends this quote with, they're cold. They will burn, to keep them warm, they will burn your

00:52:54.920 beautiful oak door. And I thought that was a very important thought. It's the idea that

00:53:01.420 these people have no idea. Like, let's just say you had a beautiful oak door that your grandfather

00:53:04.920 built. Took him two or three years of intricate, beautiful woodworking, glass embedded. These

00:53:13.540 people, they don't even see beauty. They'll just take that thing right off the hinges and light

00:53:18.080 it as a fire to cook their food. They have no value for these things. And so it's just one of

00:53:24.080 these things that we have to realize we're importing these people by the millions into 0.99

00:53:31.140 Western cultures. We know that there's a quadrupling of rapes in England over the last 10 0.94

00:53:39.540 years. And when you come to talk to them, this is what you get. By the way, isn't it insane that

00:53:47.260 we're even talking to these people? Like again, if you go back a couple hundred years, there's no

00:53:51.200 conversation. If a person from 200 years ago finds you after you've raped somebody, it's four or five

00:54:00.540 seconds before the knife blade cuts through your throat. It's amazing that we have sinful tolerance 0.92

00:54:08.900 We can talk to these rapists without absolutely destroying them.

00:54:13.440 So you can find that on my ex account at Dale Partridge, but that's the first story.

00:54:21.920 Second story, this is a great quote from Adam Johnston.

00:54:28.200 Man, I'm going to just use this.

00:54:29.780 I don't even know if this is his original quote, but this is something that is worth

00:54:33.600 repeating over and over again.

00:54:35.620 he says, an organized minority will always defeat a disorganized majority. An organized minority

00:54:43.980 will always defeat a disorganized majority. I think this is true. I think this is very true.

00:54:51.360 We see this with the rainbow mafia people, right? We saw this with the LGBT, I don't know, 2020, 1.00

00:54:59.760 20, 2021, you know, Rainbow, the White House, whole deal. We had 3% of the population 0.99

00:55:06.140 dominated 97%. We had pride events that were going everywhere, Target and Walmart and

00:55:12.760 Chick-fil-A even, and all these people bowing down to this organized minority. 0.66

00:55:19.080 And here we are, I don't know, 50, 60% of the country is Christian, 0.91

00:55:25.360 and we can't organize into a strong minority. Now, I would argue that I think the kind of 1.00

00:55:32.760 only organization that's happening right now is with the Christian nationalists. And that's why 1.00

00:55:40.160 we're being attacked because we're actually a threat. We're actually a threat because we are

00:55:44.980 as intentional as the homosexuals, as the Muslims, right? Again, we have the Muslims, right? You have 1.00

00:55:57.280 an organized minority. They're getting together by the hundreds of the thousands to go bow down

00:56:04.520 in prayer acts that are videotaped and thrown all over the internet.

00:56:08.620 Christians need to get serious about organization, about coalition. We need to stop the stupid 1.00

00:56:16.660 division and organize politically, socially, ecclesiastically. We need to do this. An 0.99

00:56:26.020 organized minority will always defeat a disorganized majority. We need to organize.

00:56:34.220 We need to get together. That's one reason why I'm here with NXR. I'm building some coalition

00:56:42.080 that we can do this with. Also, if you want to learn more about Christian nationalism,

00:56:47.320 there's a great documentary. I was featured in it as one of the people. So were a few others,

00:56:52.520 Joel Webin, Brian Sauve, Calvin Robinson, Joshua Hames. You can go to YouTube. You can watch it

00:56:59.780 for free. It is called What is Christian Nationalism? Great hour and a half documentary.

00:57:06.360 You can watch with your family, watch with your kids, watch at your church, but go ahead and check

00:57:10.480 that out. Third story, what topic needs the most clarity in the church right now? This is a poll

00:57:20.920 that I put up on my X account, about 1,600 votes. I think that's a decent testing block here.

00:57:28.640 and I was actually shocked. I know a lot of people are talking about Israel. I wrote a book

00:57:34.820 called The Israel Delusion. You can buy on Amazon. But I thought that immigration would

00:57:42.780 probably be a little bit higher than it is. I also thought maybe the race stuff would be a

00:57:49.300 little higher. But Israel, the discussion on Israel, I think is a very important discussion.

00:57:55.520 how far do you go? Do we debunk dispensationalism? Is that as far as we go? Is the church the true

00:58:04.780 Israel? I think that's a theological discussion we need to have, and I do agree. The church is

00:58:08.720 the true Israel. My book is very short. It's like less than 100 pages, very easy to read, 1.00

00:58:15.240 introduction to this conversation. And then you also have The Hyphenated Heresy by Joel Webin

00:58:21.580 and J.D. Hall, a great book to kind of go a little bit deeper. How much involvement is Israel

00:58:28.600 in our geopolitical reality? So I think a lot of people, obviously we're at war with Iran because

00:58:34.560 of the issues with Israel. And so there's lots of very important discussion. So I just think

00:58:43.480 this is important for us to know. Feminism came in second, which I think everybody can relate

00:58:48.360 with the reality of the collapse of society 1.00

00:58:51.780 because of feminism 0.98

00:58:52.500 and just the evil that it is on our society. 1.00

00:58:55.880 And then immigration and then race. 1.00

00:58:57.760 So I thought that was a fascinating discussion

00:59:00.760 that is worth talking about,

00:59:03.900 worth looking at and knowing more about.

00:59:08.600 So that's a wrap for this episode.

00:59:11.340 You can follow me on X, Instagram, YouTube.

00:59:16.340 You can find any of my books on Amazon.

00:59:18.960 Next week, we're going to be talking about a biblical defense for Christian colonization

00:59:25.880 and how it settled the West.

00:59:28.980 It's going to be a great episode.

00:59:30.000 So my name is Dale Partridge.

00:59:31.740 Thank you for watching or listening to American Grit, and I'll see you guys next week.
