The NXR Podcast - THE LIVESTREAM - Why Are Foreigners Ruling Over Us？

00:00:00.000 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.

00:00:03.820 I get it. It's annoying. Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.

00:00:07.540 When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm

00:00:12.040 so that our podcast shows up on more people's newsfeeds.

00:00:16.160 You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.

00:00:21.860 We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.

00:00:26.800 reading from the king jimmy this is deuteronomy chapter 28 verses 43 44 and 45 the bible says this

00:00:37.980 the stranger that is within thee that is within your country shall get up above thee very high

00:00:46.280 and thou shalt come down very low he shall lend to thee the foreigner the stranger the alien he'll 0.97

00:00:54.960 lend to thee and thou shalt not lend to him he shall be the head and thou shalt be the tail

00:01:03.600 verse 45 now moreover all these curses shall come upon thee not blessings of liberty not blessings

00:01:14.080 of plurality god recognizes these clearly as curses all these curses shall come upon thee

00:01:22.160 and shall pursue thee and overtake thee till thou be destroyed. Because, why? Because thou

00:01:31.340 hearkenedest not unto the voice of the Lord thy God to keep his commandments and his statutes,

00:01:39.940 which he commanded thee. Israel, in their covenant that they made with the Lord in Deuteronomy,

00:01:46.560 The condition was that if they did not obey the word of the Lord and be careful to keep

00:01:53.480 all of his statutes, that they would be cursed by God.

00:01:57.960 And these curses were not just ethereal or spiritual.

00:02:01.840 They were not merely 17th dimension curses.

00:02:04.860 They were tangible, temporal.

00:02:07.400 They were physical.

00:02:08.500 They were literal. 0.87

00:02:09.200 And one of these curses was that Israel, if they were unfaithful and neglected to obey 0.90

00:02:17.560 the commandments of God, they would be overrun and conquered and taken over by foreigners, 0.90

00:02:24.660 that foreigners would be in their midst. 0.99

00:02:26.740 They would rule over them, that the foreigner would also be economically superior to them. 1.00

00:02:32.360 It would not be their native brother or sister, but rather it would be a stranger and an alien 0.98

00:02:38.260 who is now the money lender, who is lending to them with their loans and their mortgages for 0.54

00:02:44.160 their homes. And they're not lending to the stranger, but the stranger is economically

00:02:49.160 superior to them lending to them. They would be above them and they would be beneath. That the

00:02:56.060 foreigner would be the head in Israel. The native population in their own country would be the tail. 1.00

00:03:02.200 All of these are curses, and they would come upon the nation of Israel if Israel was unfaithful 0.97

00:03:09.560 to the Lord. I believe that this concept, this principle, although in many ways unique to Israel 0.56

00:03:15.760 under the Old Covenant, that is, the Israel of the Bible, not modern Netanyahu Israel today,

00:03:21.820 but the Israel of the Bible under the Old Covenant, it was particular to them. But the general equity,

00:03:27.340 That means that the general moral principle underlining this pattern, this concept, is true of any nation, especially nations that in their foundation, in their formation, in their history and heritage, were Christian nations.

00:03:45.900 We have been a Christian nation.

00:03:48.340 Many European Western nations were Christian nations.

00:03:51.860 and as we have turned our back on the Lord and neglected to obey his commands, we are falling, 0.72

00:03:58.800 I believe, under national covenantal curses. And one of those curses is foreigners ruling over us, 1.00

00:04:07.740 not merely from some distant place, not from across the pond, but in our midst that they 1.00

00:04:15.220 would invade our nation. And from within our nation, they would rule over us economically, 0.67

00:04:21.160 lending to us and us borrowing from them. Politically, they're holding high office

00:04:29.100 and dictating legislation and the rules of the land that we now have to follow.

00:04:36.900 God, this is the point that I'm making, God clearly saw this as not a blessing of liberty,

00:04:43.800 not, oh, this is great, we can fulfill the Great Commission now because the whole world,

00:04:48.000 all the nations are coming to us. Nowhere in God's word did he say that these things will happen,

00:04:52.960 and won't it be great? No, these things will happen, and clearly, obviously, it's a curse.

00:05:00.660 God understood this as a curse, and Israel, God's people under the old covenant, understood this as

00:05:06.720 a curse, and yet we're sitting here like seals, clapping about how much strength we now have

00:05:14.780 because of our diversity, how open-minded we are, how progressive thinking we are. We think it's a

00:05:21.440 blessing. We think it's a brag. We think that it's some characteristic of higher evolvement.

00:05:28.780 This is insane. We are being conquered and nobody forced us into this. Yes, some wicked politicians

00:05:38.920 that we voted for, we are voting in voluntarily our own demise and giving the heritage of our 0.99

00:05:47.580 fathers to foreigners instead of our children. This is a very, very wicked thing. And it does 1.00

00:05:54.420 not matter if the politician in question is running as a Republican who's memorized the

00:06:00.600 Declaration of Independence and wears a cowboy hat and a Texas flag shirt at his rodeo, you know,

00:06:07.220 photo ops, or if he's a blatant socialist in New York. In either case, if your name is Omar or

00:06:16.960 Vivek or Zoron, you're not American. And you can be here and behave as a guest, but you cannot hold

00:06:27.260 political office. You cannot rule over the native citizenry of this nation. Absolutely not. And any

00:06:36.520 true, red-blooded American who's celebrating these things, or even passively sitting by

00:06:42.940 and allowing these things to happen, is a traitor to God and country. Let's tune in now.

00:06:59.620 We're back, and some would say we're so back. I would be of the latter persuasion. It feels like

00:07:05.760 so back and today we are talking about being ruled by foreigners which is according to the bible 1.00

00:07:11.600 clearly a curse and we want to give you guys i mean you've probably seen many of the headlines

00:07:16.460 but we want to show some clips a little bit of snippets from articles in regards to these three

00:07:21.480 men these are just for the record you know i i was going to say i don't want to pick on these

00:07:25.820 three guys i absolutely want to pick on them but but i i just want it to be clear that in principle

00:07:30.920 there's so many more that i want to pick on too and we just don't have simply the time and the day

00:07:36.160 to do so so we are picking on these three gentlemen um but not exclusively there are

00:07:41.740 many others who would fall into this category i think of ilhan omar right and these are people

00:07:46.580 just for the record that by their own admission when they refer to their nation of origin they

00:07:51.460 call it home america's not their home by their own words right ilhan omar um they they speak of

00:08:00.660 home being this this distant foreign country that that's where their fidelity lies that's where

00:08:06.520 where their allegiance lies and just to be clear from the outset we're not um we are not critiquing

00:08:14.160 that we actually think that natural affections are a god-given thing that it's good and right

00:08:20.740 to have a special fidelity and place of affection in your heart for your place of ancestry your 0.89

00:08:28.480 people however it is retarded for us to say let's make them our civil rulers right so the fact that 0.90

00:08:36.560 Ilhan Omar loves Somalia more than America which she does is actually good and right what's not 0.97

00:08:43.440 good and right is that we made her a civil leader in our country and that's wrong on on I would say 0.66

00:08:50.920 at least three bases. One, she is a foreigner. Two, she is a woman. And three, and most importantly, 1.00

00:08:59.360 she is a Muslim. She's not a Christian. So I would probably reverse that and say, 0.99

00:09:04.640 no, you need to be a Christian. You also need to be a biblically qualified man to hold civil office.

00:09:12.780 And then third, you need to be a heritage American. You need to be someone who on at least,

00:09:18.700 I would define it like this, at least minimally, on both sides of your family, being able to track

00:09:25.400 back three generations of being here in these United States, that your affection is here,

00:09:32.500 your traditions are here, your people, your home is here, like Ruth, right? The Bible has

00:09:39.060 some category for immigrants, but people always point to Ruth and say, well, Ruth, she was an

00:09:44.860 immigrant yeah but but look at her heart her disposition how she did it she came in and said 0.98

00:09:50.580 your god will be my god so right there there's a forsaking of of false religions and foreign gods 0.96

00:09:57.300 and your people will be my people so i'm going to worship the god of israel i'm going to bind 0.93

00:10:02.760 myself and assimilate to the people of israel and then she ruled as a queen no but her great

00:10:09.660 grandson right so ruth marries oh um boaz they have obed obed begets jesse and jesse begets

00:10:17.480 david so by the fourth in her case fourth generation then you have someone fit as a man

00:10:23.760 after god's own heart who is a true israelite of israelites right he has your god is my god your

00:10:30.100 people are truly my people i'm the fourth generation now fully assimilated into israel

00:10:35.180 religiously, culturally, even ancestrally, at every single level. And he is fit in the side

00:10:43.140 of God, not only to be a king, but to be arguably the best king that Israel ever had. That's the way

00:10:49.760 that it works. What we're doing today is nothing even close to it. Wes, what do you think?

00:10:54.700 Yeah. So the three men in the thumbnail, Vivek Ramaswamy, Omar Fatah, and Zoran Mamdani,

00:11:01.380 It's kind of interesting because Vivek was the shot across the bow.

00:11:04.020 This is literally Christmas Day, right?

00:11:05.700 Us Americans, we're celebrating Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

00:11:10.140 We're a Christian nation.

00:11:11.440 And that's the day that Vivek and many others went to Acts and started a big argument about H-1Bs

00:11:16.640 and that their right to participate in our workforce, to become, have the right and the privilege to come to America

00:11:22.180 and become Americans, whatever that means.

00:11:24.260 That's a great thing.

00:11:25.340 And if anything, we should encourage more of it.

00:11:27.320 There's tons of talent out there.

00:11:28.740 It should come to the United States.

00:11:29.820 so that was vivek and that's only guys i mean seven months ago we're in july it feels like a

00:11:34.200 lifetime ago but that's seven months ago about two months ago the name zoran mamdani came onto

00:11:39.880 the scene and that was by winning i believe the democratic primary for the new york city mayor so

00:11:44.820 he's not been elected yet as mayor of new york city but he's running against eric adams as the

00:11:48.980 incumbent and andrew cuomo as well as an independent i believe third party just a quick rule of thumb

00:11:54.560 if billy bob in kansas cannot pronounce your name then you're not i was just about to say

00:12:01.020 wes is crushing it over there with yeah you're like they're trying you're researching late at

00:12:05.900 night you're sounding a little right a little foreign to me i don't know wes has to go back

00:12:11.500 i don't know where but somewhere go ahead so you have the well even vivek i think it's actually

00:12:17.140 vivek i've heard it both so i've heard both some character named v with a very indian last name

00:12:22.220 you have a muslim socialist i think it's pronounced

00:12:24.320 yeah uh rivek was born in the united states zoran was not he was born in uganda in 1991

00:12:33.120 but the most recent one and this has been they're kind of building up on each other is my point

00:12:37.000 he's been three high profile cases and all across the nation encouragingly you're seeing outrage

00:12:41.900 the latest one is a individual and it's kind of like a downhill gradient by the time we get to

00:12:47.300 this guy, a Somalian man named Omar Fatah. And he's running to be mayor of Minneapolis. Minneapolis

00:12:53.540 is home to the largest Somalian diaspora in the United States. It was a hotbed of Somalians.

00:12:58.720 He himself is already a senator in Minnesota. Now he's running to be the mayor of Minneapolis. I

00:13:03.500 think it's the 40th biggest city in the United States. Not a small position. Same thing with

00:13:07.920 New York. We're talking about a democratic Muslim progressive socialist running to be mayor of,

00:13:12.960 i mean america's oldest city and these have been high profile cases and you can see people beginning

00:13:17.680 to connect the dots and say okay like vivek he was he's the one republican on the republican

00:13:23.360 side of the aisle whatever that means uh he was kind of parroting you know there is a god there's

00:13:28.040 two genders we should work hard but people are beginning to connect the dots and say i'm not

00:13:33.320 detecting that the affinity the affinity for america is really here let's play this hello

00:13:37.820 fellow americans hello fellow americans i worship the one true three million gods right right

00:13:43.940 let's play this clip this is omar talking about somalia to other somalians

00:13:48.620 the very last one i sent all right it's coming we should make du'a for him and pray for him

00:13:56.960 and pray for him um i understand that our somali communities are all connected to each other

00:14:02.980 here in Minnesota and back home

00:14:06.100 and I ask for your support.

00:14:08.760 There's always been a link between our community here

00:14:11.940 as well as back home

00:14:13.880 and I'm running to bridge that gap

00:14:15.760 and unite all of us and represent all of us

00:14:18.520 because when we succeed here, we succeed everywhere

00:14:20.980 and I'm hoping to do that just like Abdulazzaq, inshallah.

00:14:26.300 To build a link between our community here

00:14:29.520 and the communities back home.

00:14:31.880 I love it. 1.00

00:14:32.980 Ask for political donations from Somalia.

00:14:35.480 Three bags of rice arrive.

00:14:38.260 Sir, you have 50% of our GDP.

00:14:40.840 Here are three bags of rice.

00:14:43.320 It's incredible.

00:14:44.400 And it's blatant.

00:14:45.480 Listen to this story because you could hear that and say, all right, here's a young man.

00:14:49.060 One of the things he's campaigned on is making Minnesota livable.

00:14:51.480 So he said, hey, I've got a young family and I'm campaigning on raising minimum wage, increasing mental health support, and just making the city more affordable to live.

00:14:59.700 But you guys need to see what's actually happening in the city.

00:15:01.760 This is from an individual that lives in the city, and they said this.

00:15:04.700 There's a lot of individuals who resonated with it.

00:15:07.420 He said, I watched, quoting now, I watched as we were promised that it would be a small 0.51

00:15:12.260 population, that is the Somalians.

00:15:13.920 It was in 1990.

00:15:15.020 There was a big humanitarian and refugee push to resettle them in Minnesota.

00:15:18.740 I watched as we were promised that these Somalians would be a small population.

00:15:22.060 Then it was just some humanitarian refugees. 0.79

00:15:24.360 Now it's unrestricted mass chain migration.

00:15:27.680 By chain migration, what he means is a family will arrive.

00:15:29.900 so for example omar's family arrived sometime in the late 1960s as the first generation from

00:15:34.900 somalia but what they did is then helped sponsor and get the visas for and the green cards and

00:15:39.940 eventually the citizenship for other somalian family members from somalia so a first generation

00:15:45.200 comes in they bring as many family as they can another 20 years go by they're growing up they're

00:15:49.840 bringing as much family as possible to the united states that's like ilhan marrying her brother

00:15:54.740 that's exactly what it sounds like she did she said i'm married to this individual like all right

00:15:58.660 well let your husband come in lo and behold it's actually her brother continuing with this

00:16:03.120 Minneapolis is is more than little Mogadishu but every day little Mogadishu gets a little bit

00:16:08.320 bigger now it's at the tipping point it's also spreading he says I won't say which suburb was 1.00

00:16:12.900 mine growing up the black folks who lived there got pushed out by the human wave of Somalis all 1.00

00:16:17.640 on government programs even many of the whites as well they're overwhelming the state and sucking 1.00

00:16:22.580 it dry so just in Minnesota what they're doing is they're dragging and drawing all the resources 0.93

00:16:27.200 from the rest of the state.

00:16:28.420 They're overwhelming this state and sucking it dry. 1.00

00:16:30.660 The only ones who work are the women. 1.00

00:16:32.340 The men generally do not want to work 1.00

00:16:33.800 because of their home culture, 0.99

00:16:35.400 and so they will sit around and chew cat all day.

00:16:37.800 The kids are forming gangs that put the bloods to shame.

00:16:40.460 The infamous crack stacks of yore

00:16:42.080 are now dedicated headquarters 1.00

00:16:43.280 of at least two Somali-based gangs.

00:16:45.900 This isn't about a, quote,

00:16:46.960 lack of resources or lack of education

00:16:49.600 or lack of opportunities.

00:16:51.360 Because these people are coached by government employees

00:16:54.160 on what papers to sign,

00:16:55.940 what words to say and who to talk to in order to get every form of welfare from food stamps to a

00:17:01.540 free college education my state is becoming somalia i do not care if you call me racist if you unfollow

00:17:06.880 if you block me i don't care the dfl that's the democratic farmers league so with the democratic

00:17:12.160 political action group that endorses candidates saw that they could get an infinite voter base

00:17:17.500 forever if they imported people beholden to the government for their existence so i'll toss it

00:17:23.740 you guys but man one of the big dynamics is give me free stuff yeah we're affluent we've been

00:17:29.900 blessed by god we were a christian protestant european nation with wealth the world can

00:17:34.820 barely comprehend and a lot of people want a piece of that yeah what do you think yeah no it's

00:17:40.160 obviously the fault of having a welfare state to begin with obviously there are a ton of problems

00:17:43.860 with that but when you especially when you immigrate to welfare right it's like you've

00:17:49.200 created a moral hazard for literally anyone who wants to come like you're inviting them to come

00:17:54.800 have to work their way up um but no actually it's fine if you're poor because we're going to take

00:18:00.040 care of you and so uh yeah it's like a it's just a terrible system um kind of kind of a little bit

00:18:07.340 puzzling that anyone ever really thought thought it would work you think like the mid-60s um but 1.00

00:18:14.080 yeah i i think it's like uh these immigrant communities they're coming to america they're 0.88

00:18:20.280 seeing immediately i think wes you've even talked about like envy and the nature of envy when you're

00:18:25.480 immediately brought in from a different land and you see affluence all around you like your instinct

00:18:31.060 actually uh sinful instinct we should say won't be oh let me emulate these people it's it will

00:18:38.000 actually be to uh a sense of injustice or unfairness and i think that's what a lot of

00:18:43.700 immigrant communities experience um in america and so obviously what you get is this like

00:18:49.540 uh this this sense of like hey let's actually protect one another take what we can from them

00:18:56.140 so on and so forth that's what we're reading here i think it's just infinite money like literally a

00:19:00.860 lot of these people come in and they seem to think well minimum wage we should just raise it well

00:19:05.520 where does that money come from money grows on trees like where does the money come from from

00:19:09.380 well being productive some of them think that because um they're uneducated and and maybe lower

00:19:15.520 iq but i think there are plenty of people who are immigrants who don't actually think that they just

00:19:21.720 they don't care like like i think right you know there are plenty who know the money comes

00:19:26.020 from us but they don't care about us they care about themselves right they're they're ultimately

00:19:31.640 their loyalty lies with their own people right everybody has an in-group uh it's been said before 0.60

00:19:38.520 And, and I think it's absolutely true that, um, those of European heritage are pretty

00:19:44.960 much, um, your European peoples are the only people group that are its own groups out group. 0.89

00:19:53.260 Like we actually, we actually hate ourselves.

00:19:56.180 And I wanted to point out because I think that it's, I think there's a correlation.

00:19:59.760 I don't think it's insignificant or random, uh, but why Minnesota?

00:20:04.780 and at this point you know there's there's a critical mass kind of piece there's a vicious 1.00

00:20:09.520 cycle you know a a feedback loop where well there's already Somalians there so you know so 1.00

00:20:15.420 and eventually it just becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy like I could see why Somalians at this

00:20:21.000 point would want to go there because there's a lot of other people like them their own people

00:20:25.860 but why initially right I mean there was a time I know it feels like uh unbelievable at this point

00:20:31.840 but there was a time not that long ago to where there were not Somalians in Minnesota. And I

00:20:37.280 can't help but think part of it, have you ever heard the old expression, Minnesota nice? Like

00:20:42.780 this is beyond, you know, like before both Antonio and Wes's time probably. But I remember watching

00:20:48.920 the cartoon when I was a kid, Bobby's World. Anybody in the chat, let me know if you remember

00:20:55.520 Bobby's World. But Bobby's World, he's riding his little, you know, big wheel, you know, going back

00:21:01.620 and forth and uh going through the halls and his his mom would you know it's the minnesota

00:21:06.280 you know uh stereotype you know that has a lot of truth to it as most stereotypes do and she's like

00:21:13.120 uh oh bobby don't you know you know and like and it's i mean like they've done sketches of like

00:21:18.060 people from minnesota where they're you know they're trying to say you know you're hosting

00:21:21.920 someone in your house and it's like they've been staying there you know talking about the weather

00:21:26.020 you know and all these pleasantries you know and just small talk and just politeness and it's been

00:21:31.540 like seven hours you know and it's like midnight and and you're like they need to go you know go

00:21:37.080 home and you know like you'll see like comedians even talk about it you know and they're like i'm

00:21:41.220 on my third ope you know and uh and they still haven't left and like what do i do well like you

00:21:45.900 could literally just say leave you know um but they they literally can't because politeness is

00:21:51.940 like in their veins of you know native heritage minnesotans and so it's like oh well oh well

00:22:00.300 don't you know like and and that's just that's how they act like i mean i i can't imagine what

00:22:06.040 they do at a four-way stop i feel like everybody's probably has their window rolled down talking to

00:22:09.920 the next oh you go ahead now don't you know oh don't you know go ahead oh no you go ahead

00:22:14.320 how's the weather and like you could i mean you could you could probably end up spending a year

00:22:19.140 of your life at a four-way stop in minnesota you know because they're just and and what i'm saying

00:22:24.000 is it like sure respect and kindness and these are christian virtues um but but kindness as a

00:22:31.300 fruit of the spirit as a christian virtue is we should recognize is distinct from niceness

00:22:36.860 niceness is not a fruit of the spirit yeah niceness is not a christian virtue and and

00:22:42.880 there's a certain level where like kindness has given way to a self-deprecating suicidal

00:22:49.700 uh niceness that's that's actually the reason why it's not a virtue is because it's not actually not

00:22:54.740 nice so it's it's niceness to a stranger but at the cost of your children so that's actually not

00:23:01.180 honorable it's actually not virtuous and so like when i think of and granted it's it's widespread

00:23:05.920 at this point you know you could point to just about any town on the map and you'll see some

00:23:10.820 foreigner holding some position of civil office um but but minnesota and we're going to talk a

00:23:16.440 little bit about new york in a moment and i was thinking about those two places now new york does

00:23:20.760 not have that reputation of niceness um but i was thinking why new york and with minnesota i think

00:23:26.620 it's kind of this bend over backwards self-deprecating niceness uh in the case of minnesota

00:23:31.720 in the case of new york though i think a big part of it is um economically you've got a lot of

00:23:38.560 deracinated, you know, um, upper level management, you know, hedge fund managers, people on wall

00:23:46.360 street, big money, uh, that, that the love of money is, is the root of all kinds of evil.

00:23:53.700 As the scripture says, who, who love, you know, lowering the bottom line, making, you know, uh,

00:23:59.640 the, the, the big line go up, uh, more than they love their own grandchildren. And so, so then why

00:24:06.320 is new york you know uh have so much strength you know so much diversity is our strength um i think

00:24:12.740 in the case of new york i think it's greed and so you know so minnesota i think it's this this

00:24:17.420 niceness self-deprecating niceness um it's it which if we were to boil that down to a sin

00:24:23.460 a lot of it what it's rooted in the motivation would be um the the sin that is uh the fear of

00:24:29.340 man it's the fear of man wanting to uh not wanting to offend because you care so much about

00:24:35.900 what everybody thinks like god forbid somebody think i'm rude you know or or not polite and so

00:24:41.540 there's a fear of man uh i think with the average minnesotan and and then with the average new

00:24:48.400 yorker i think there's a love of money and and i think those two things i don't think it's a 0.82

00:24:54.080 coincidence that that there's we're overrun by foreigners everywhere but those two tend to seem 1.00

00:24:59.960 to be hot spots and i was trying to think of what are two particular sins in in you know the native 1.00

00:25:05.760 new yorker and and in the native minnesotan that might have given way to being particularly

00:25:11.420 overrun by foreigners and i think i think that those two sins of a fear of man and a love of

00:25:18.080 money greed seem to make sense do you guys have any pushback on that or anything you would add to 0.95

00:25:23.380 it no i think i think it's right that the kind of sort of kindness to a fault or you could probably

00:25:31.140 call it harmlessness that's kind of embodied in the minnesota nice or the canadian ethos too

00:25:36.620 i think it is it is actually sinful i think it's like actually not it's it's it's kind of

00:25:43.260 subversive a little bit it's like not it's precisely not what it's supposed to be it's not

00:25:47.560 i think obviously there are some people who are just genuinely like naive in that way but i think

00:25:52.800 a lot of times you can experience that kind of kindness and it seems a little inauthentic contrived

00:25:57.260 yeah contract um so i think that's totally true i was just one observation about new york

00:26:01.300 because you do hear it touted a lot as sort of like the most diverse you know like i'm sure

00:26:06.620 zoran has said this before like oh we pride ourselves on our strength i'm just guessing

00:26:10.540 just gonna take a shot there that's a point in that he said that but like the reality is is

00:26:15.800 in new york it's like incredibly segregated it's actually the it's like for me a good case in point

00:26:21.440 of immigration not really working like you certainly have um different parts of the the

00:26:27.660 boroughs that are just totally segregate segregated you know like oh this is like where

00:26:31.940 Haitians live and this is where like Chinatown is and where you're gonna like so to me it's actually 0.99

00:26:37.220 it's kind of like the prime example of everything that that we don't want for a country like what 1.00

00:26:43.780 it's like precisely what causes nations to fail so anyway I I just wanted to say that because I

00:26:49.120 think that's a good point a lot of people don't you know come to that realization like yeah obviously 0.86

00:26:53.180 new york sucks but like why it sucks it's precisely what its mayoral candidate is saying that he wants

00:26:59.300 to um further sort of broaden and lean into politically so right and we have just for the 0.99

00:27:07.540 record we have we have the rulers the civil rulers that we deserve so it's it's you know it's different

00:27:13.180 than the communist you know uh party of china um where it's like nobody voted for this you know

00:27:19.560 and there's a lot of precious people a lot of christians actually in china at great risk and

00:27:24.420 cost to their own lives and and wish that they could do something about it and can't but that's

00:27:29.740 not really the case for us um in in our case um it's like like i mean people will probably study

00:27:37.260 it for centuries like just like we do rome like what how could something so great ultimately fall

00:27:42.320 and if if god chooses not to extend mercy and it would be a mercy that we don't deserve

00:27:47.860 but if god allows us to simply you know be given to our own vices our own demise and fall into the

00:27:53.860 trap that we've laid for ourselves america will end at least america as we know it and historians

00:27:59.840 will will look into it for centuries like what in the world happened they were so prosperous

00:28:05.300 a superpower of the world and i i feel like you know the correct conclusion would be um i think

00:28:12.680 of the a mighty fortress by martin luther the famous hymn uh there's a line where it says one

00:28:17.340 little word shall fail him and i feel like that's to be like what happened to america one little

00:28:23.780 word shall fail her what word racist the world called her racist and she folded like a cheap 0.83

00:28:32.540 suit she's oh my goodness racist well then have my kids and my grandkids too and please take my land 0.98

00:28:37.880 and oh here's our ancestral farm you can take that too and like well like and at a certain point

00:28:42.980 you have to stop caring you have to and i'm not saying you have to stop caring about what the

00:28:48.300 lord cares for caring for god caring for country and even caring for other parts of the world i'm

00:28:53.020 not talking about stop being compassionate i mean stop caring about what man thinks of you it's the

00:28:58.900 fear of man. It's the fear of man. We're slaves to the opinions of strangers. Who cares what the

00:29:06.280 other side of the world thinks about us? So, well, they said death to America. Well, first and

00:29:10.980 foremost, we could look into that and see maybe some of the motivation. Like, is it death to

00:29:16.520 America because we worship the triune God? I think there's some of that. Is it also maybe death to 0.58

00:29:22.060 America because with billions of dollars, we keep funding missiles that are being launched at them

00:29:27.480 by our greatest ally i think there's a little bit of that but here's the big point for today's

00:29:31.200 episode to stay within context death to america yell the sand demons who worship sand gods

00:29:37.560 4 000 miles away who cares i don't care what you think i don't like we need to be like that dude

00:29:44.940 you know the meme and the elevator it's like you know i think this and i think i don't think about 0.59

00:29:49.040 you at all i i'm sorry i that you are you're not my kin you're not my family you're not my country 0.62

00:29:56.940 men you're not even a fellow believer you're not even a christian you're like i don't i don't care

00:30:02.320 what you think you think we're racist great great who cares minnesota is a great example of that it

00:30:08.100 was primarily settled by northern europeans so scandinavians and then the vast majority of it

00:30:12.760 being german is 98 percent white in 1960 so it's just it was a european christian you had a lot of

00:30:19.900 actually reformed dutch reformed up there uh in the north now it's something in the 70 and this

00:30:25.600 is the last clip we'll play in the segment but uh listen to what omar fatah says about whites who

00:30:31.880 are the natives of minnesota the majority of minnesota the heritage of minnesota uh take a

00:30:36.900 listen to what he says about them heard them being called terrorists we heard them being called drug

00:30:42.480 dealers we heard a lot of insults we heard that they're that they're a threat to our national

00:30:49.680 security. And that's a flat-out lie. You want to know who the real threat is, Madam President?

00:30:57.420 I'll give you a hint. They don't look like our chief author. They don't look like the folks up

00:31:02.100 in the gallery. They don't look like the folks on the rotunda. They look like many of the members

00:31:07.640 that sit in the front. And you don't have to take my word for it. According to DHS, Madam President,

00:31:14.420 the greatest domestic threat

00:31:18.100 facing the United States comes from 0.86

00:31:19.920 quote, racially or ethnically

00:31:21.800 motivated violent extremists

00:31:23.400 specifically those

00:31:25.720 who advocate for the superiority

00:31:27.780 of the white race

00:31:29.440 not our immigrants 1.00

00:31:32.420 we are safer 1.00

00:31:35.760 and we're better off because of them

00:31:37.340 nope, please leave

00:31:41.320 no, no you don't get

00:31:43.900 to come to our country and not just insult but but slanderously accuse the native population

00:31:52.960 of a country that you did nothing to build um no no go home this analogy has been used before but

00:32:00.360 i just you can imagine like a kid walking in your house walking to your kid's bedroom

00:32:04.340 and uh your kid tries to get him out and he's like he's he's a threat to my safety and my

00:32:10.120 presence in this room yeah yeah it's just it's absolutely insane uh to i mean that's what he's

00:32:19.060 what you and you have to hear that for what it is what he's saying is the greatest threat to america

00:32:24.660 is americans right heritage americans white european ancestry america the greatest threat

00:32:33.660 to this country is the people uh the posterity of those who built it which is just absolutely like 0.77

00:32:41.020 i can't help but noticing i don't know if you guys have noticed this too

00:32:44.100 it's um we hate european countries but we really want to live there yeah like you know what i mean

00:32:50.800 i will leave home like all these people all over the world you know talking about you know the

00:32:55.560 white man and how terrible he is but also um i'd really love for him to be my neighbor 1.00

00:33:00.460 like i would you pick a lane make up your mind which one is it either white people or the scum 1.00

00:33:06.120 of the earth and the bane of everyone's existence and and a threat to all of humanity in which case 1.00

00:33:11.380 why don't we leave them in their gated communities you know with with their nice prosperous country 0.78

00:33:16.080 and stay on the other side of the ocean or actually uh white people have done something 0.56

00:33:22.000 in the problems of god by his grace that we've never been able to accomplish and we want a piece

00:33:27.580 of it but you got it in which case we can respectfully say no um no thank you but at 0.72

00:33:33.700 least pick a lane say white people are great can we please come but but right now that's like we've 0.99

00:33:39.860 lost the plot entirely we're we're now at the part of the story where it's white people are terrible 0.91

00:33:44.200 and also um i i i'm catching a flight and i'll be there you know in in about 12 hours we want your 0.98

00:33:50.320 stuff it's crazy like that's insane like a foreigner coming in you the natives of the state and of this 0.64

00:33:55.280 nation access central threat but we want the money we want social programs we want to we want 1.00

00:34:01.840 your government we want everything you've set up how do you lay down and take that and i'm talking

00:34:07.380 about the civic and the the political ways of doing something about it not talking about going

00:34:13.380 outside of the law but um like how many i think of andrew isker who had to leave minnesota he'd

00:34:19.360 been there for generations and he said i literally it's impossible for me to live here with my family

00:34:24.760 and so for those that are staying that are committed like well well there needs to come

00:34:30.100 a moment where we stand up and we say something that moment has been happening and is happening

00:34:34.280 right now right i would just say too like to address the question in the thumbnail like

00:34:39.780 why why is why are we letting letting this happen i think part of it is an indictment of the people

00:34:46.140 i mean we talked about kindness and sort of that thing is um a kindness is sort of as an idol in

00:34:50.980 a sense or as at minimum a sin niceness niceness yeah it's a it's a a pseudo kindness it's not real

00:34:58.160 yeah right um and i think like part of it is like part of the answer to the question is because

00:35:03.660 you i think that has to be you hate yourself like i mean this these are like we're and to some

00:35:09.460 extent we're talking about you know omar's sort of population base being people who don't celebrate

00:35:16.380 the 4th of july right like they have they have like they have bought this this lie uh fundamentally

00:35:22.160 that like america actually is wicked and that they have you know i mean we talk about you know

00:35:26.840 matt walsh's am i racist like some of these people are just like pathological really with with self

00:35:32.320 hatred um and so in in one sense in that sense specifically i have it's much more complex in

00:35:38.160 terms of the political and the social forces at work here but like at in the in the micro

00:35:43.740 like there is there is a lot of sin going on to to hate yourself that much um to allow yourself to

00:35:49.960 be ruled right and and i think part of that so self-hatred for um western countries is

00:35:56.440 incredibly real but getting beneath that a little bit and and speculating about you know some of the

00:36:02.840 reasons why uh part of it is uh guilt a guilty conscience i've talked about this in the past

00:36:09.000 even with like around you know in the month of october around halloween and maybe we do

00:36:14.280 a special episode on um the phenomenon of halloween the um some of the roots of it are

00:36:20.940 are actually um some of them are demonic and then some of them are actually good there's some

00:36:24.720 christian roots uh and we can parse that out you know for parents like do we do halloween or not

00:36:29.460 and if we do is there a christian tradition and a way to observe it you know righteously and is

00:36:35.240 there a protestant way or is it only catholic and um those are all um helpful things important

00:36:40.140 things to talk about but the modern phenomenon of halloween i don't know about you guys but like

00:36:44.040 in my neighborhood uh halloween has is has now gotten to the point have you noticed it it kind

00:36:49.880 of gives christmas a run for its money in terms of decorations like there is i think comparable

00:36:54.820 like used to it's like a couple people put up some you know some bats and some cobwebs or

00:36:58.980 something like that or a scarecrow you know in their front yard um in the month of october you

00:37:03.480 know but everybody has christmas lights right we're americans gosh darn it you know we celebrate

00:37:07.940 christmas uh now it's it's kind of almost like a one-for-one uh ratio and i and i noticed it's not

00:37:13.640 the same houses it's not just like well this house you know this family just loves decorating so any

00:37:17.720 excuse that they could possibly have like i mean they're they're decorating for you know st patrick's

00:37:22.880 day they're decorating you know any any holiday they could possibly come up with any excuse to

00:37:27.180 you know put up some decorations no it's it's it tends to be different houses so it's like all

00:37:31.340 You got this row of houses that are celebrating and they're decorating for Christmas and this

00:37:35.640 other one.

00:37:36.380 And a big part of it I've noticed is if you're trying to find the distinguishing factor,

00:37:42.720 it's families versus perpetuated adolescents, young adults who are single and childless.

00:37:50.860 The young adults who are single and childless, Halloween is kind of like the childless holiday

00:37:57.900 for young uh immature adults because christmas is very much family centric right you're giving 0.90

00:38:04.520 gifts to one another whereas halloween is the holiday where um it's an excuse for women to 0.99

00:38:10.040 dress like whores and their little you know skimpy cat suits and get drunk and go sleep around you 0.99

00:38:15.360 know and so like halloween is is like like friends giving you know it's it's the it's the singles um 1.00

00:38:21.540 you know the the poor man's holiday you know the single you know the the single loser who hasn't

00:38:26.060 grown up their holiday and uh and that's at least that's certainly what it's become and and i you

00:38:31.860 know i think of that and and think of just uh you know what how how horror right so that's halloween

00:38:38.600 and then all the horror movies that come out and horror is actually in cinema it's it's become like

00:38:43.780 the leading grossing you know genre of film more people turn out for horror films than ever before

00:38:50.600 now it's not just the month of halloween but it's year-round it's just the giant skeletons are up

00:38:55.220 at costco i'm not even kidding all right it is july i know and they're up my son he calls them

00:39:00.640 gorillas because he can't he's two he can't pronounce skeletons he's like go go go the

00:39:05.340 skeleton gorilla and so we're going through i had like the other day it was like like about half an

00:39:10.360 hour and i was like what is he talking about i had no idea what he was talking about the worst

00:39:16.500 at costco and then he finally pointed and we went by and i was like okay all right the skeleton you

00:39:20.780 know but anyways the point is um you know so the film industry you know now year-round with horror

00:39:26.480 movies and and the whole point that i'm building up to is this uh why like why do you subject

00:39:31.080 yourself to the edge of your seat like this a move the type of movie it's one thing when it's

00:39:35.780 a good mystery it's another when it's like saw you know 17 or whatever they're on now you know

00:39:40.800 it's just it's just chopping off limbs it's just bloody you know shameless gore and so why do

00:39:46.640 people give money voluntarily and they pay for it you know like like is it really enjoyable like i

00:39:53.460 don't really think it is and part of it you can say we're desensitized we're degenerate but part

00:39:58.140 of it also is i think it's a voluntarily subjecting yourself to some measure of virtual

00:40:04.720 pain because you know that you're guilty and and there's some some christian guys who've written

00:40:11.400 on this so this is an original concept to me but i i think i i think there's something to it that

00:40:16.480 like the the the phenomenon of the horror industry becoming so popular um i think part of it is

00:40:23.340 because you have a degenerate populace that is apostatized from the lord turn their back

00:40:28.420 on christ that are not obedient to his commands like we read in deuteronomy chapter 28 and they

00:40:33.840 know that they deserve to be punished but none of them actually have the courage or this you know

00:40:39.220 they don't have the will to repent or the courage to subject themselves to the true wrath of god so

00:40:44.660 they so they go into you know the movie house the you know they go into the haunted house

00:40:50.440 and come out and watch having watched this is kind of the language that one christian used

00:40:55.760 having watched in a virtual kind of pseudo fashion someone else has now died in their place

00:41:02.920 someone else has now atoned for their grievances right they know they're guilty you know and so

00:41:08.860 they're kind of like it's almost like this sadistic you know or masochistic you know

00:41:14.540 self-punishment and i think that when it comes to immigration and some of the things in the west

00:41:19.700 it's a similar concept it's it's this idea of like so we know that there's this self-loathing

00:41:25.680 this suicidal instinct that's completely unnatural and it's like what would drive a populist to to

00:41:32.660 be like that and i think it's a self-hating people is a guilty people and and rather than

00:41:40.340 choosing repentance and turning to the lord for atonement for our sins we're basically instead

00:41:46.040 of repentance we've chosen penance instead of repentance we've chosen penance and so what we've

00:41:51.480 done as a society is we say well we know we're guilty because we have all this opulence and all

00:41:56.880 this blessing and we've turned our backs on the source right every good and perfect gift comes

00:42:01.900 down from the father of lights we know that the source of this is god but we we don't want him

00:42:06.860 so we've turned our back on him and yet we still have this blessing and so we struggle to sleep at

00:42:11.700 night you know we are now all of a sudden we all have these these mental disorders and you're

00:42:16.180 schizophrenic and you're bipolar and and a million of you have you know depression and the other

00:42:21.080 million have you know anxiety and and so we're you know we're self-medicating we're treating all of

00:42:26.520 our mental disorders and psychotic you know episodes all the while knowing that the real

00:42:31.080 problem is our guilt. And we know that we should be punished because we're this incredibly opulent,

00:42:38.720 blessed, prosperous people who have turned our back on the Father of lights from whom every

00:42:45.220 good and perfect gift comes. And so instead of turning to him, that would be one solution.

00:42:51.340 One solution to guilt is gratitude and turning to the Lord in repentance and recognizing him

00:42:56.780 and pledging our fidelity back to him renewing the covenant the other solution is well if we

00:43:02.760 don't want god but you know but we also feel terrible because we know that we're a guilty

00:43:08.680 people well it you know it's it's like almost like a robin hood syndrome i'll console myself

00:43:15.640 assuage my conscience for my theft by at least giving a portion of what i've stolen away so i

00:43:22.740 can go on stealing so long as i at least benefit some others and not only myself with my stealing

00:43:29.440 and i think this is at every level the spiritual level religious level apostatizing from christianity

00:43:34.680 in the west but then even at economic levels it's like we we know right billionaires because who are

00:43:41.260 the people who are lobbying and getting these kinds of people you know elected these foreigners 0.75

00:43:45.780 ruling was the people who they know they're guilty they've they they um they've they've made 0.56

00:43:51.180 you know dollars off of pennies by by unethical means by squeezing out you know men's wages and

00:43:58.480 this and that and the other and so it's like how do you sleep at night well the way i sleep at night

00:44:02.680 is i console myself as i'm you know flying in my personal jet by telling myself you know but at

00:44:08.340 least um at least there's you know this many hundreds of you know indians that i've employed

00:44:13.620 with h1b visas yeah and that's and here we are the big facilitators of resettlement to minnesota

00:44:19.820 have been lutheran charity services and catholic ngos that helped a lot of them get there to get

00:44:24.920 settled fill out the paperwork bring family members christian christian in quotes christian

00:44:30.460 groups ostensibly all right we should do our first commercial first commercial break and we'll be

00:44:35.600 right back all right hello brothers in christ let me ask you something real are you truly protecting

00:44:41.060 and providing for your wife and children?

00:44:43.460 Not just in this life, but the one to come.

00:44:46.660 Here's a reality check.

00:44:48.020 Only 45% of adults in America have life insurance,

00:44:51.620 and of those, nearly two-thirds are underinsured.

00:44:55.940 That's not good stewardship.

00:44:57.660 And as Christian husbands and fathers,

00:44:59.820 we're called to do better.

00:45:01.340 But what if you could protect your family's future

00:45:04.660 and wisely grow your wealth right now?

00:45:07.640 That's where private family banking comes in.

00:45:09.840 It's a proven strategy that allows you to leverage your existing cash flow,

00:45:14.520 build tax-free legacy wealth, and give your family lasting security,

00:45:20.000 all while aligning with your biblical call to provide and protect.

00:45:45.360 In the future, it may be hard to persuade people that what happened starting in the spring of 2020

00:45:51.520 really did happen. A fake pandemic was the signal that one morning began the foreclosure on

00:45:58.920 everything that had, until the evening before, been central to the idea of democratic constitutional

00:46:06.420 republics. The most shocking thing was not so much that this started to happen, but that almost

00:46:12.900 no one seemed to object to it happening. Almost no one sought to defend the rights and liberties

00:46:19.440 being overturned. Leftists clamored for more and more tyranny while most conservatives fell silent.

00:46:26.820 In this book, The Abolition of Reality, Irish dissident leader John Waters describes not merely

00:46:33.120 what happened, but the meaning of what happened, in what may well be judged by history as the most

00:46:39.200 heinous crime of all time. This book, as Winston in 1984 said, is for the future for the unborn.

00:48:33.240 Hello, brothers in Christ.

00:48:34.480 Let me ask you something real.

00:48:35.900 Are you truly protecting and providing for your wife?

00:49:06.460 New York City will have a democratic socialist Muslim mayor. 0.75

00:49:11.760 This is the city that, it's less than 100 years ago,

00:49:14.300 you can see pictures of the Empire State Building lit up with the crosses for Easter. 0.93

00:49:19.060 And we're now looking at probably a Muslim socialist. 0.92

00:49:22.640 And you would think at least, like, okay, so Muslim, so he's going to be, you know, 0.77

00:49:27.020 at least not a feminist and at least not pro-LGBTQ, right? 0.77

00:49:30.320 Well, he's there marching at New York City Pride. 0.99

00:49:32.540 So even the Muslims we get are gay. 1.00

00:49:34.800 this is the worst i swear it's like even the muslims are pro-lgbtq and you're like can i can 0.99

00:49:40.520 i catch a break but here's the reason that he mattered after the 2024 election one of the

00:49:46.740 questions was where does the democratic party pivot kamala harris did not connect with voters

00:49:50.940 that was the story for months she didn't connect with people she was too aloof same thing with tim

00:49:55.100 walls the dude was just weird and so kind of the sense was are they going to be able to find someone

00:50:00.100 And that will actually get young people excited to vote for them. 1.00

00:50:03.780 And I regret to inform you if you're not thinking, oh, he's a socialist, he's a Muslim, he doesn't have a chance. 0.85

00:50:11.060 He actually is decently engaging. 0.91

00:50:12.920 And one of the ways that he connects with people is he'll go to a shop, whether it be a little taco shop or a kebab shop.

00:50:19.600 Ask them about the difficulty that they've had getting permits from the city.

00:50:23.020 Asking them about cost of living and about rent.

00:50:25.280 And making promises that appeal practically to people on the ground in New York City.

00:50:29.040 and that's been a lot of his voter base is gen z is individuals that are working class this is kind

00:50:35.200 of what you had in the democratic party of the past when they were not quite so as embracing of

00:50:39.520 more radical uh ideologies they were much more of a workers party well mom dining represents kind of

00:50:44.880 a return to that we're just gonna play a short video from him where you can kind of see his

00:50:48.400 punchy new york style and maybe get a sense of why it's connecting with people being a politician

00:50:53.120 means listen not just to your supporters but your critics too and some of these critics especially

00:50:57.600 on a certain website have been giving me consistent advice.

00:51:01.540 For example, at Sam White 087, Zoran, go back to Uganda where you come from and belong. 0.96

00:51:08.200 At Teflon gone, loser, go back to Africa. 1.00

00:51:12.060 There are thousands like this from across the country. 1.00

00:51:14.440 I hear you.

00:51:15.440 And I agree. 1.00

00:51:16.440 I'm going back to Uganda.

00:51:18.160 I'm headed there in a personal capacity to celebrate Rama and I's marriage with our

00:51:21.220 family and friends.

00:51:22.220 But I do want to apologize to the haters, because I will be coming back.

00:51:25.680 And since you will undoubtedly read about this trip in the New York Post,

00:51:28.620 Inshallah on the front page,

00:51:29.860 here are a few of my humble suggestions for headlines.

00:51:32.320 M.I.A.

00:51:33.200 Mamdani in Africa.

00:51:35.000 Uganda missed me. 1.00

00:51:36.460 He's Kampala-leat me crazy. 1.00

00:51:38.840 The Afrika can't be serious. 0.97

00:51:40.740 Carl Kampala-Neili investigates Mamdani. 0.93

00:51:43.600 Zoe running away.

00:51:50.860 Yeah, he just leaned right into it. 0.99

00:51:54.100 And that helps.

00:51:55.060 i think it's i think when you when you demonstrate that kind of self-awareness

00:51:59.720 um bring a little humor and levity which i think the democratic party has struggled with

00:52:03.860 for ages now at this point um meme culture famously like they just don't understand what

00:52:10.480 it means to like connect through humor right you can see why he is so formidable because he

00:52:15.760 demonstrates even in that clip a little bit like self-effacing kind of like you know real you know

00:52:21.080 realism of like who your critics are he's not like he knows that people want him to go back

00:52:26.600 it's not like he's like he's like straw manning an opponent he knows who who the people who oppose

00:52:31.000 him are and what they think about him and i mean yeah you can see the appeal for sure yeah americans

00:52:36.580 have to get into their system uh daryl cooper he's talked a lot about this one of the reasons that

00:52:40.940 we've been so welcoming as a nation in the past like you think of the 1790 immigration act was

00:52:45.320 free white persons of good moral character now that sounds very restrictive to us today but in

00:52:49.480 that time that was wide open it was basically saying any european of good moral character can 0.60

00:52:53.620 come here well part of the reason was we had a huge continent to fill with people and so for 150 0.94

00:52:59.500 years we were very much so anyone can come in right the irish were coming in they weren't getting

00:53:04.200 long rates shipped them out to the midwest uh the italians the spanish like there were a lot of

00:53:10.000 different groups coming here and we always had this kind of punchy attitude about us so alexis

00:53:14.240 de tocqueville his very famous book democracy in america he's a french aristocrat that came to

00:53:18.980 observe and to write back about what he observed in America. Even him at the time, he observed that

00:53:23.260 the American sailors were far more reckless. They'd go out on way rougher seas. We've always

00:53:27.760 had this punchy attitude about us and also been generally more welcoming. And all of those things,

00:53:32.540 I think at the time, were good. It's good to fill the nation with people that are going to settle 1.00

00:53:37.560 it, to work hard, to be productive, and to be industrious. I love the American spirit. I grew up,

00:53:42.740 even to my son, we read the stories of John Henry, the steel driving man, who he beats the steam

00:53:47.560 engine, right? I'm reading in the story about that will of like, I'm not going to be beat my

00:53:50.900 machine. I'm going to work hard and I'm going to outdo it. I think those are some of the best parts

00:53:55.140 about America. But those don't work so well in 2025 in a globalist world where it's foreigners 1.00

00:54:01.600 coming in and they're co-opting those same aphorisms, those same attitude of the past. 0.86

00:54:07.100 They're saying, I'm just like you. I'm quirky. And hey, we're all Americans and in this, right?

00:54:12.220 I think all of a sudden it's now time for us to turn and say, all right, we've settled. We are

00:54:16.140 younger, to be fair, than European nations. There's a reason Europe is, it's called the old

00:54:19.980 world and we're called the new world. We're younger, but we're hitting 250 years. And so it's 0.66

00:54:24.760 time to say, yeah, in our first 250 years, we were punching. We punched above our weight class. We

00:54:29.480 were productive. We were in many ways welcoming, but that's just not working for us now. And so

00:54:34.780 we can say, yeah, America was welcoming for a time. And at this point we're full. Yeah, we were

00:54:39.780 the scrappy underdog once upon a time. Now we have the biggest GDP in the world. And it's not because

00:54:44.820 we have the most people china has five times as many people i think and a smaller gdp we're the 0.92

00:54:50.100 biggest we're the best we have a lot of opulence and we're full except for the right people yeah

00:54:55.460 and you can imagine why it's so confusing i think like you know we talk about like to your point

00:55:00.440 you know the founding the revolution was all about just being these ragtag sort of upstarts

00:55:05.360 not really knowing what they're doing predominantly younger um any experience you think of madison

00:55:10.200 you think of hamilton and these guys like and and you that actually is the appeal in our mythology

00:55:15.700 as americans is like wow okay we're we're up and comers we're upstarts we're rugged you know you

00:55:21.580 think about like george washington famously an american aristocrat but he was still rugged as

00:55:26.640 far as european aristocrats went he still rode horses he engaged in um a little bit a little

00:55:32.340 bit more sort of uh rough and tumble sports and athletics and those sorts of things um engaging

00:55:37.840 and sort of exploration of the frontier so on and so forth so it's like uh we it's kind of

00:55:44.260 difficult to hold those two things together and i think that's what a lot of americans struggle

00:55:47.440 with is like i do actually have a righteous appeal to the underdog as an american that is

00:55:52.840 what i'm taught through our stories and through our myths to sort of uh be drawn to but at the

00:55:59.000 same time when you have people who aren't yours who don't um sort of uh originate from your

00:56:06.360 fathers they're co-opting it yeah right exactly it's like well how can i what what is the lens

00:56:11.640 through which i can actually tell those two things apart right um and i would just say can you

00:56:16.640 pronounce her name or not was there any zoran on the civil war battlefield can we look and find a

00:56:22.820 tombstone or something like that it's fun doesn't he actually like physically look a little bit like

00:56:28.260 the adam sandler character from the zohan like he actually looks like the hair everything i'm like

00:56:34.540 is this i don't know i feel like am i being punked is this skit right what's real life let's talk

00:56:40.760 practical we were talking before the episode about natural rights and civil rights and we're

00:56:44.360 going to try to have hopefully steven wolf on the show a little bit later this week to talk about a

00:56:47.940 great article that he had which was a christian defense of inequality and there's a distinction

00:56:51.780 between our rights and our value as human beings being made in the image of god versus for example 0.88

00:56:57.400 natural or civic and societal rights that we have for example we all agree that felons shouldn't

00:57:02.740 have the right to vote you by your conduct have forfeited your participation in civil representation

00:57:08.440 right which means it's not a natural right it's not inherent now here's the question we have

00:57:13.740 individuals let's take omar fatah he was born here to be fair he was born in america he was born in

00:57:19.060 dc i think he owns a home he's worked in some capacity he's worked it's a shame that he was

00:57:24.620 born here shouldn't have happened not great not great but here's the problem we have millions of

00:57:29.480 people that were born here. The Bible has a set of ethics. How do you deal with people that are

00:57:34.360 here, but they're trying to pillage your system? They're trying to extract the wealth from it.

00:57:38.480 They're calling whites an existential threat. And probably what that means is to more immigrants 1.00

00:57:42.800 and moving more of their family here. How do you at one sense, in one sense, say, this isn't about 0.51

00:57:47.460 personal hate for you. This isn't, of course, about pushing genocide, but you maybe can't live

00:57:52.300 here anymore. You can't have these rights. Where do we define, for example, property?

00:57:57.600 Like, could you say, I'm sorry, for example, boomers sold you their house and you felt

00:58:02.300 like you could move here and you could own land, but you're here and you're being destructive. 0.72

00:58:06.720 You have to go back.

00:58:08.160 You can't own land here.

00:58:09.200 What do we, what do we navigate with that?

00:58:11.760 Yeah.

00:58:12.040 And I think it's particularly challenging because you're talking about Mac, you're,

00:58:16.300 you have a tendency to conflate macro and micro, right?

00:58:19.700 So on a micro level, I would argue through natural rights down through civic rights

00:58:24.800 and social rights that for me to take another man's property that I would consider that unjust

00:58:31.560 if a man has a phone if he has a car for me to just hop in and say hey you're not welcome here

00:58:35.500 and so this thing is mine I would consider that unjust at the micro level that the challenge

00:58:40.640 becomes when you at the macro level you've had on one hand subversive policy with respect to

00:58:48.360 immigration with respect to um you know even allowing non-american citizens to own land uh

00:58:55.600 you you so you have those kinds of policies that have kind of subverted the the legal system in 1.00

00:59:01.440 our sense of justice here but then you've also had like you say boomers and whatnot like engaging in 0.71

00:59:06.520 free and fair contracts to like sell their property i think i think it becomes really

00:59:11.000 difficult to parse those two things out yeah i do think like um we should consider as as americans

00:59:18.220 who are like justice you know with justice trying to like solve this issue we should think about

00:59:24.000 like what kinds of precedents we set i think that's something that we should consider like

00:59:29.120 where do what are the principles and where are we going to draw the lines with respect to like

00:59:32.740 who gets to stay here what what property do we recognize so on and so forth and i think that's

00:59:38.080 just work that's cut out for us the good news is that's part part b of the problem part a is to

00:59:44.660 stop the flood of immigration into our country and i think most people you know in maga movement

00:59:51.060 and right of the magnum maga movement obviously agree with that um and so once we have that really

00:59:56.120 we're talking about okay now what do you do with people who like actually have american citizenship

01:00:00.780 and they own property so on and so forth my i'll just quickly say this and i'll pass it to you

01:00:05.600 joel if you want to speak to this but um i do think that like an easy an easy and pragmatic

01:00:12.740 solution is to compensate people we were talking about this before the episode like right i think

01:00:17.580 you can you can say hey a boomer sold you their house that's your house like legally uh we'll pay

01:00:24.720 you for it and allow you to leave and at least we give them like just remuneration and then they

01:00:29.900 now we will with a clean conscience both them and us can leave with no envy no jealousy

01:00:34.620 animosity don't they do that like with um if if the you know if the state or the city is going

01:00:41.080 to be building like it's eminent domain yeah eminent domain or if the people say i'm sorry

01:00:46.480 we're not going to sell do they have to just sit there with their hands tied or are they able to

01:00:49.780 say no we know they can take it and so we're going to take it but we're going to compensate you yeah

01:00:54.940 yeah so america as a whole is building a highway and the highway is called let's stop having a 1.00

01:01:02.820 bunch of foreigners it's called it's called uh we want our country back highway it's by god we'll 1.00

01:01:08.320 have our home again highway like it could go by many names and and so yes um you're losing your 1.00

01:01:15.720 property uh we're going to compensate you fairly at market price but um but no you you can't be

01:01:22.580 here because you're not american yeah oh but i'm an american citizen yeah what for like for 15

01:01:28.540 minutes like like like that doesn't make you american and you could encourage it with policy

01:01:34.280 hey you could stay here we're not going to force you but for example you wouldn't have the right

01:01:38.100 to vote or run for office you weren't born here you can't participate in civic life like i would

01:01:42.980 be okay with i was not born in texas i would be okay with the state of texas saying the only

01:01:47.740 individuals that will vote in a texas election for the representatives for the governor for the

01:01:51.640 senators that represent them at the federal level they will have been born males born in texas yeah

01:01:56.920 and i would not get to vote and i would be okay with that because i would know my state was moving

01:02:01.260 towards electing better men better christians better in time your children would be invited

01:02:06.920 into that right exactly if we stayed here exactly yeah it goes for first generation but then

01:02:12.360 eventually as time goes on latter generations become native because assimilation does happen

01:02:17.660 but it doesn't happen in one generation it doesn't happen in one lifetime it happens over generations

01:02:21.820 over time and you think like some you know i can imagine just you know the to play the devil's

01:02:26.640 advocate you know the detractor saying but that's not constitutional or that's you know those aren't

01:02:31.140 the principles of the founders and one of the things that i think we have to remember is um

01:02:35.720 um it you know yes we like precedent matters and we and we we do want to hold to heritage and

01:02:41.040 history as much as we can especially from our fathers you know many of them were were better

01:02:46.020 men than we are maybe not thomas jefferson but you know but there's andrew jackson's and you know

01:02:50.320 and um adams and you know there's some that you know there's many and george washington that were

01:02:55.900 were great um however even those guys nobody nobody is thinking or planning or strategizing

01:03:03.700 or writing in a vacuum everybody's a product of place and time we're not the omnipotent we're not

01:03:09.180 infinite right we're finite creatures and so so we're all products of providence we're all products

01:03:15.680 of providence and so when you think okay like i'm one of the founding fathers of a nation okay well

01:03:20.720 what kind of nation is it well it's a it's a geographically speaking it is a massive land mass

01:03:26.460 where there's some indigenous peoples here but very few they're they're virtually all nomadic

01:03:32.680 right so so they you know they say it's their land and you ask like which parts of it and they're

01:03:37.240 like um from from you know over here all the way to over here it's like okay and what have you

01:03:42.320 developed you know like what are the shining sea from sea to shining sea it's all our land it's

01:03:46.380 like okay great like what are the markers like how have you developed it how have you i mean even a

01:03:50.740 dog you know will at least take the time to pee on a tree you know to say like this is this is my

01:03:56.440 backyard you know but like you look at the indigenous people and it's like well um my great 0.99

01:04:01.600 great-grandfather told me you know once upon a time that he made a trip over here it's like did

01:04:07.060 he did he build anything uh no he lived in the tent and you know it's like all right i'm i'm sorry 0.59

01:04:13.800 i'm sorry you know but uh but no um so there's a difference between immigrants and settlers that's

01:04:18.560 my first point the founders these were you know in the even before that you know the 13 colonies

01:04:23.540 these were settlers not immigrants they were actually settling something that was entirely

01:04:28.380 unsettled it was entirely unsettled there was very few people here and the people who were here had

01:04:33.560 not settled anything anything and so you have people settling so my point is this if you're

01:04:39.800 one of the founders and you're early you know you're america you know 1.0 and in the early

01:04:44.580 phasing a phase of of this this building then um yeah then you're probably looking at like well i

01:04:51.380 have a brother-in-law who currently lives in england um but who is planning to move here and

01:04:57.480 we think that he would be an excellent statesman because we need a mayor over this particular

01:05:01.820 colony over and and you want to leave room for that because that person who's coming is like

01:05:06.680 i mean they're directly related to you they're they're you know you know and so it's it's like

01:05:13.240 this is my family member who's coming here and i've been here for you know six months and he'll

01:05:18.380 have been here you know six months shorter than than me so like what's the difference it's it

01:05:22.720 seems petty but that's not that's not the country that we currently have today we just at some

01:05:28.380 point we have to acknowledge that that things have changed things have changed that's not our

01:05:33.740 country our country now is a quarter of a millennia old um it has families um that have been here for

01:05:40.840 10 plus generations um it's it's completely settled um it's it's not uh we're not talking

01:05:47.900 about a native nomadic people living in tents it's a settled country with with laws and history

01:05:53.980 and and rituals and traditions and and infrastructure and buildings and civil affairs

01:06:01.080 and and all these different things so a settled country with people who have been here for a very

01:06:05.300 long time and and maybe now might be a good time to reevaluate and say oh yeah like it's one thing

01:06:12.360 if nobody had been here longer than than if everybody's first generation is my point then

01:06:17.540 okay then maybe we don't draw the line here but if you're looking now and saying okay but you know

01:06:23.940 about 50 you know 60 percent of the country has been here for generations and generations and

01:06:30.300 generations and has a stake in the country's history and its past then yeah that's probably

01:06:36.540 the group that we should look at when it comes to political leaders right right and not not omar's

01:06:43.300 that's that's potentially one of our biggest flaws in america is we require the president

01:06:49.880 to be a natural born citizen right arnold schwarzenegger born in austria he couldn't be

01:06:53.860 the president but virtually no other public office that requirement is a part of same thing with

01:06:58.440 religious tests of office early on of course that was much more aimed at not making sure

01:07:02.980 at making sure that for example a catholic church or a protestant church or anglican or

01:07:07.840 presbyterian weren't saying didn't weren't able to come in and say well you have to be presbyterian

01:07:12.740 as part of a religious power play but 250 years later like i think of a no country for old men

01:07:18.460 if the system you followed got you here of what use is the system now it's not saying in all time 0.74

01:07:23.960 the system was useless but if you're following the system and a socialist muslim who's pro lgbtq 0.86

01:07:31.060 somehow try to figure that one out if he's about to be your mayor well we have our system we have 0.97

01:07:36.480 the constitution just for the record he's pro you know lgbt lmnop mafia just for the record 0.93

01:07:42.640 we know why because he won't get elected without it like at the end of the day we're not a nation

01:07:48.760 of laws we're a nation of political will and and the people are very much still in charge and what

01:07:54.640 that tells me is he knows exactly what the people will tolerate and what they won't will they 1.00

01:08:01.100 tolerate being led by a foreigner yeah will they tolerate a muslim who worships false gods yes 0.98

01:08:08.500 will they tolerate someone who doesn't support openly sodomy no like if we had the same zeal 1.00

01:08:16.920 for the lord jesus christ as we do for butt sex then he wouldn't even run or who knows he may he 0.98

01:08:25.240 may have actually converted to christianity and then tried to run he converted on the alleged 0.95

01:08:32.280 values that he knew were non-negotiables for the american people and when it comes to new york

01:08:39.700 what are the values that they won't budge on sodomy not christianity but sodomy and so he

01:08:47.020 acquiesced to sodomy because that's the will of the people but it's a great point that you're

01:08:52.660 you're making west and just it's basically kind of i hate to i don't want to say the tim keller

01:08:57.320 third way here but kind of a little bit of it you you don't you don't just have two choices of

01:09:02.480 saying um the founders were right about everything and and we can't change a thing or right that's 0.96

01:09:09.380 option one option two is the founders were dumb and uh not worthy of respect and we should change 0.77

01:09:16.080 it all here's the third option i don't think you have to do either of those two the third option is 0.97

01:09:19.920 um these were brilliant men and what they came up with it's not that oh wow they they actually had

01:09:26.080 some really bad ideas no they were great ideas but most great ideas are timely ideas and not

01:09:33.100 timeless ideas there are many great ideas that are great for a decade for a century but very few

01:09:42.240 ideas are great forever yeah and i would just say like to your point i'll defend the constitution

01:09:49.240 a bit here in the sense that um the constitution in terms of its letter of the law

01:09:54.740 the the rationale behind it is actually outlined by madison and hamilton in the federalist papers

01:10:01.700 and in that it's actually it's not it's i would say that is actually a timeless work because it's

01:10:07.300 a work of political and moral philosophy they talk about why the structure of a government

01:10:12.100 uh as as you exhibit in the constitution is good why bounds of powers and those sorts of things

01:10:17.440 make sense and i think hamilton would actually admit that the letter of the law of the constitution

01:10:22.860 was timely like i think he would assent to that yeah i think he would say that the principles

01:10:27.320 behind it are are timeless and meaningful just like the bible that's that's what general equity

01:10:32.720 theonomy is it's saying that the general universal transcendent principles moral principles

01:10:38.700 undergirding all this civil code that's timeless right so a parapet around the roof of your house

01:10:43.920 okay well if you're not sleeping on the roof because now we've invented hvac then you don't

01:10:48.780 have to have a parapet around the roof of your house because nobody's on the roof of your house

01:10:52.280 that's silly but the general equity that the universal undergirding moral principle is hey

01:10:59.600 let's let's not be negligent and careless when it comes to preserving and defending and esteeming

01:11:05.640 the sanctity of human life yeah and that we of course we still hold to so now it's not parapets

01:11:11.400 parapets you know border around the roof of your house now it's seat belts in a car you know or

01:11:16.260 speed limits on on the road but we actually are still holding to that general principle and so

01:11:20.360 i don't think there's any general undergirding universal moral principle in the constitution

01:11:25.620 um that that i wouldn't still hold to i think there are some latter amendments that need to

01:11:30.960 be revisited to put it charitably but the first 10 amendments if we get back to authorial intent

01:11:35.720 and then the constitution as a whole um setting aside some of those latter amendments i think

01:11:41.960 the spirit of the law is true and good and right and i would just simply like to get back to

01:11:47.540 authorial intent revisit uh some of the latter amendments maybe adopt you know the nicene creed

01:11:53.440 or apostles creed as a preamble to the constitution and then uphold the spirit of the law and not be a

01:11:59.400 pharisee that's literally what the pharisees did was they they they got so meticulous and tedious 0.54

01:12:04.940 they were all lawyers they were lawyers and they were they but they were unethical lawyers now i'm 0.93

01:12:10.660 being redundant you know but like they were they were lawyers and and they were using the letter

01:12:15.540 of the law to to ironically and hypocritically is really the word um undo the whole spirit and

01:12:23.920 purpose of the law to begin with and that's where we are and like to make a concrete example of like

01:12:28.620 what that looks like west brought up you know not allowing uh someone born outside of the united

01:12:33.560 states to become the commander-in-chief and i use that word intentionally because as a pragmatic and

01:12:39.420 timely manner the commander of chief was the the head of the executive branch and he had

01:12:45.100 control of the military and you're you're in you're at a time where you still have hostilities

01:12:49.980 with britain in fact we would go to war with britain 30 years 20 years after the revolution

01:12:55.020 was fought and ended and so there was a legitimate concern timely concern not to have your commander

01:13:01.060 in chief be for example of british origin right uh because what because what if he like secretly

01:13:07.300 was loyal to them exactly and his own natural affections tories were a notorious problem even

01:13:13.220 after the revolution people who remained loyal to the british crown and there was a lot of

01:13:16.580 discrimination there but but here's the thing they could not have imagined like you you'd say hey

01:13:21.400 hamilton why didn't you make representatives have to be born in america he's like there's no way

01:13:26.780 that there's ever a meaningful amount of foreign-born representatives to ever make a difference

01:13:30.840 now for the commander-in-chief that would matter because he has a lot of centralized control

01:13:34.000 but for congress it's okay right that's what he would say he was wrong he was wrong and uh and

01:13:39.480 that doesn't mean he's dumb yeah it means america has actually the principle is protect your nation

01:13:45.320 from foreign hostility right vis-a-vis the law barring people who aren't from here and don't

01:13:51.400 originate from this lineage and custom and tradition so on and so forth that's the principle

01:13:55.740 that ought to be enacted and i'll just say this about hamilton and washington too and you read

01:13:59.960 his farewell address it becomes evident that they wouldn't actually the sin that we've committed

01:14:05.740 It isn't our steadfast commitment to the Constitution, to our demise.

01:14:11.520 It actually is, and they would be truly dismayed at this, that we did not exert our political will.

01:14:17.140 Because that's the thing the founders time and time again prided themselves in and thought was the most American, was to say, at all costs, we will defend the honor of our nation and our family and our prosperity and our posterity.

01:14:33.940 and that's something we just simply haven't done for over a century now yeah and my my system just

01:14:41.020 if you're going to say what's the minimal case right not getting rid of the constitution or

01:14:44.700 anything article 6 religious tests for office the 19th amendment revising the 19th amendment to not

01:14:50.560 allow women to vote and say men of good moral character having resided in these united states

01:14:55.280 for three generations yes that's beautiful the two of them religious tests for office professing

01:14:59.740 the christian faith just teensy little five six little words yeah men must be men of good moral

01:15:05.760 character oh maybe landowning residing united states and and those two things and then some

01:15:10.460 of it again is getting to authorial intent so it's like that's not all you need to do so it's

01:15:15.300 not just like hey these pieces need to be amended these other pieces need to be observed so like

01:15:20.560 the 14th amendment for instance i would look at the 14th amendment and i say no this is not

01:15:26.020 the door cracked open for the civil rights act so let's get rid of that um but if anything the

01:15:32.260 14th amendment used rightly uh would say um let's stop abortion right equal protection equal

01:15:39.040 protection for uh you can't have an unprotected class uh such as every unborn child right it's 0.65

01:15:47.200 open season it's it's purge season on can you imagine if you did that with any other people 0.55

01:15:51.860 if you did that with black people or you did that with hispanics or you did like hey you know what 0.99

01:15:56.380 with this group of people um you can harm them or kill them with impunity so i would say yeah 0.99

01:16:02.720 let's actually abide by the 14th amendment and the 14th amendment and its authorial intent

01:16:07.200 doesn't actually carve out civil rights act to where you no longer have freedom of association

01:16:12.580 freedom of association might be a wrong decision in some cases but it is your decision you want to

01:16:19.080 have you want to have the um uh the i want men's only gyms i'll tell you what exactly no seriously

01:16:25.480 but um but let's say you know like to make it you get in there and you make this about race you know

01:16:30.560 but to make it like if you want to have the whites only pancake house we'll enter at your own risk

01:16:35.860 and you might go bankrupt in a month or you might sell more pancakes than anybody's ever imagined

01:16:40.000 who knows but i actually don't launch in atlanta but that should but yeah don't open in atlanta

01:16:44.500 but that should be your right um the government shouldn't be controlling that as as law that's um

01:16:51.660 that that's not a legal issue so so anyways with the 14th amendment like that opening the door for

01:16:57.860 the civil rights act and and freedom of association all the kind but here's the thing i agreeing with

01:17:02.620 your point west i'm not sitting here saying so let's get rid of the 14th amendment i'm saying

01:17:06.440 um why are we not using the 14th amendment um in the ways that it that it actually would apply

01:17:12.880 um not not uh not with saint george floyd but what about with the 70 million babies

01:17:20.080 who were euthanized in their mother's womb like let's let's actually use so so some of it would

01:17:26.980 be like yeah that needs to be amended but a lot of the constitution we would be sitting here and

01:17:30.520 say uh not that the constitution is wrong but the people and currently our our morality and our

01:17:37.140 political will for wickedness or lack of political will for righteousness is is actually the problem

01:17:43.360 it's the spirit it's the it's it's it's neglecting the spirit of the law because the spirit of the

01:17:48.840 people is absent or compromised yeah and just quickly you know with the constitution that

01:17:55.200 spirit i think actually is embodied in the preamble right they list uh we form the you

01:18:00.640 know the united states in order right to secure what the blessings of liberty to ourselves and

01:18:05.640 our posterity to promote the general welfare so provide for the common defense so on and so forth

01:18:09.900 they're actually listing the spirit before the law yeah which which from an originalist perspective

01:18:16.620 actually helps a little bit because you're like oh we know exactly what you meant when you said

01:18:21.660 freedom of religion because the the spirit of the law in the context of the nation itself and the

01:18:28.140 ethnos and the the religions that were practiced their religion specifically right um we know what

01:18:34.040 you meant by that and so it's not it's it's not a puzzle they were all denominations of our common

01:18:39.540 lord yeah and i and then going back to like we talk about third generation um and like what from

01:18:46.460 the from the outside in what the law should require of the foreign or foreigner and what

01:18:51.940 immigration should look like but i also think like one thing we should emphasize too is when a

01:18:57.460 foreigner came into israel there was forced assimilation yes right it there there in other

01:19:03.940 words there was like shame there was like there was a system of shame to be foreign uh that would

01:19:10.040 encourage someone to larp if you will or to get with it um and uh that's that's the other side of

01:19:17.640 it that's the non-legal side i know stephen wolf just talked about this a lot when he talked when

01:19:21.380 defines a christianation that it's not simply the laws that it's also the the the eth uh the the

01:19:28.020 ethos of the social norms and mores uh um so and that would be required too because we'd be remiss

01:19:36.280 if we were just like oh like let's just make it the third generation but like once you're here

01:19:39.640 you're still good to like hold on to a little no like even the first generation you should already

01:19:45.440 start to larp and that's just that's a good point yeah yeah through through cultural um power and

01:19:53.360 and there's a lot of there's a lot of influence and power that can be exercised apart from

01:19:58.560 legislation apart from the law culturally putting pressure um but then also legally like with israel

01:20:05.840 there was yeah there was a cultural expectation to assimilate but there also was like legally

01:20:11.680 it's like well i don't i'm i don't worship god um i'm a moabite you know or i'm an amorite or

01:20:17.860 whatever and we don't we don't do the sabbath great but you're going to do the sabbath here

01:20:22.900 you're going to do it here but i don't i don't i don't worship your god that's that's totally fine

01:20:28.860 um in your heart privately you can maintain that position outwardly you're going to walk the walk

01:20:36.980 and talk the talk or you are not buying liquor on sunday or yeah or you're gonna leave or you're

01:20:44.200 you're going to be stoned you're going to be put like there's actual consequences and i'm not saying

01:20:49.540 that we should stone i think that firing squads are fine you know i mean what is a bullet but

01:20:54.700 little stones at the end of the day it's perfectly reasonable so i'm moderate that is like an 0.99

01:20:59.660 immigrant comes in and he murders one of the native sons it's not all right you get prison 0.68

01:21:04.020 and some conjugal visits and you can continue to reside here no you're done you had a chance to 1.00

01:21:09.000 leave your fatherland and come and join this more prosperous nation and you blew it you don't get to

01:21:14.120 have descendants way on down the line who continue in the sins of their father perpetrating violence

01:21:19.320 against those that are the sons of that nation you came to right yeah it's it's unheard of all

01:21:24.000 right let's um have we gone to both of our commercials we have not okay let's go to our

01:21:28.800 last commercial break of the day then we're going to come back and did you have any more videos you

01:26:09.560 thought. Christian political theorists, more specifically, so not necessarily theologians

01:26:14.160 and pastors, but political theorists and political thinkers who were also Christian,

01:26:18.260 especially in Europe in the Middle Ages, they thought about these questions of the foreigner

01:26:22.080 and his relation to the state.

01:26:24.000 And I'm going to read a quote here from Bartholomew Kekerman.

01:26:26.440 He was a 16th century Calvinist German writer.

01:26:29.960 And he said this, and I think it's really helpful. 0.93

01:26:32.520 And it sets up, I think, the proper state of the foreigner

01:26:34.520 when he's visiting in another land. 0.69

01:26:37.920 Bartholomew Kekerman in System of Political Discipline says this, 1.00

01:26:41.880 The foreigner should conduct himself properly 0.86

01:26:43.780 towards the citizens of the republic,

01:26:45.960 observing and in no way harming them,

01:26:48.340 and also towards other foreigners,

01:26:49.580 remembering that he too is a foreigner.

01:26:51.280 therefore he should not be curious about the affairs of another republic should mind his own

01:26:56.620 business not inquire into others matters and should adapt himself to the customs and practices

01:27:01.500 of the place where he lives as long as they are not completely absurd if i was for some reason

01:27:07.100 to live in japan i would be respectful there i would go in and i don't think i would ever i can't

01:27:13.320 imagine moving but even if i did i can't imagine running for public office yeah this is not my

01:27:17.760 land this is not where i'm from i don't belong here in that sense all we're asking is not 0.97

01:27:23.140 something crazy we're saying hey foreigners like that that have only been here for a couple decades

01:27:28.660 maybe one generation being american america it doesn't mean the same thing to you and so it's 0.85

01:27:35.640 not something about you individually but as a group you you can't represent america you haven't

01:27:40.680 lived here for the amount of time my ancestors your guys's ancestors have lived there and so

01:27:45.600 there's no hard feelings but you're just you are a foreigner and you should be respectful while

01:27:49.960 you're here you should do no harm to those that are natives of this country and also in the realm

01:27:54.460 of politics sit down and be quiet yeah mind your business in other words our political affairs are

01:28:00.620 not your business it's not your country it's not your country and that doesn't mean that you should

01:28:05.940 be exploited or mistreated but it also means stay in your lane yeah i think that's well said any

01:28:10.600 other concluding thoughts before we do some super chats i would just say to that quote too like

01:28:15.820 what the humility that's sort of described here from the on behalf of the foreigner i think is

01:28:21.360 the most important thing like you you people wonder why why there's everyone's so and so up

01:28:27.700 in arms about illegal immigration and why you actually do sense a real uh sort of presence of

01:28:33.440 antipathy toward the immigrant and i think part of that is the lack of humility like there's

01:28:38.780 something about just like the boldness of an immigrant coming in like we've used the analogy

01:28:43.400 of like your house just walking in and saying hey i'm gonna sit here actually and i'm gonna

01:28:47.940 welcome myself to this or that in your home without ever really asking or being especially

01:28:52.480 grateful for it um naturally that breeds i think particularly uh within the less spiritually

01:29:00.180 mature population i think that breeds envy um or not necessarily envy but antipathy for sure

01:29:07.020 where it's like i'm very frustrated that you just walked in here like that and now i really don't 0.99

01:29:12.520 like you yeah and maybe maybe it goes so far as to like i don't like you to an unhealthy extent

01:29:17.840 and i think there's a danger of that that we should be cognizant of but but the reality is is

01:29:21.840 that um that humility above all things is what needs to be impressed on the foreigner and like

01:29:28.440 west you're you're like you describing you going to japan is like that's what i'm reading is like

01:29:32.780 i recognize that i don't have a right to anything here i think you'd mentioned to toqueville earlier

01:29:39.000 coming to america and having that same kind of outside in sort of humble presence and observation

01:29:45.460 of the cultural customs not not particularly a critic of it but more just an observant um eye

01:29:51.900 over the american spirit i'm a guest correct um and i think that's that's more than anything

01:29:57.680 what's lacking and what's fueling a lot of the sort of conflict.

01:30:03.320 The prior generation, like individuals that were immigrants or not Americans,

01:30:07.940 I think of especially my dad's generation that they knew.

01:30:10.560 There really was, and maybe it will sound like a little bit of a lib for saying it,

01:30:13.900 but there are a lot of people out there that would love nothing more than to come to America

01:30:17.280 to work hard, many of them Christian, to come to America, to be Christian,

01:30:21.300 to work hard, and to be grateful with what they have.

01:30:24.360 There's a lot of people that are like that.

01:30:25.740 And in a generation where it was rare, those people who did come and did assimilate, and you could obviously tell, like, hey, they're from Sudan or they're from somewhere else, but they love America and they've wanted to make themselves American in everything that they do.

01:30:39.060 I think a lot of us really appreciated them in some way.

01:30:41.820 Here's the deal.

01:30:42.300 They were the vast minority.

01:30:43.900 They were the few that actually were willing.

01:30:45.880 They were willing to renounce, for example, dual citizenship. 0.88

01:30:48.520 They were willing not to try to bring their family in.

01:30:50.580 They were willing to acquiescence and appropriate everything that was ours.

01:30:54.640 we had a great appreciation for them muslim socialists that want to come in and be mayor 0.90

01:30:58.800 of new york city to increase handouts that is a whole different ball game and people have to 0.59

01:31:04.300 to separate like you said earlier the micro and the macro the individual that we all know

01:31:08.860 of people that have come here and they love america and they love its christian character

01:31:12.940 first and foremost versus on the whole billions and billions of people why do they want to come

01:31:17.320 here our stuff yep that's it all right here's some super chats we've got evan davies five dollars

01:31:24.380 or five pounds actually from evan davies we appreciate it thank you um they said the uk 0.67

01:31:29.820 has a 700 strong islamic group in the home office halal slaughter is rife in endless handouts to

01:31:40.300 foreigners britain is being judged yes uh great britain is under judgment and theirs is currently 0.63

01:31:46.680 more severe than ours we could get there um but right now they're ahead of the curve uh with god's 0.85

01:31:52.540 judgment because they're ahead of the curve, I think, in their apostasy. Great Britain has

01:31:57.140 apostatized against their Christian roots longer than we have. And so, yeah, so it's worse in 0.97

01:32:05.460 England. Yeah. And it's like on that point, I know it's like kind of a joke in America to like

01:32:10.860 kind of tease the UK. But I think in this respect, I'm like, actually, it's very grave to me because

01:32:16.360 it is simply god's grace that they are um further into this this judgment but also attack i would

01:32:24.300 say it's a kind of attack yeah um and it's simply because we have an ocean a three thousand mile

01:32:29.140 ocean that separates us right that's really all that that it can be chalked up to yeah that's a

01:32:34.560 big deal um okay jd43 tv he gave us five dollars thank you jd we appreciate it he said the episcopal

01:32:42.640 church has ended its refugee resettlement agreement with the u.s to avoid helping resettle

01:32:48.800 south african israelites so they're these kind of saying like white people would be israelites 0.96

01:32:55.080 i see i see south african whites instead of somalis that is absolutely true i would disagree

01:33:04.140 with the israelite part but uh absolutely true that uh the episcopal church and it just shows

01:33:08.820 how much spite and ultimately uh hatred for uh native americans uh that the episcopal church

01:33:15.800 here has they they had from my understanding a long stand like decades long relationship with

01:33:21.240 the u.s government helping uh to settle refugees and when all of a sudden uh they were required to

01:33:27.720 help resettle 59 not 59 000 49 49 okay so 49 uh white south south african boars um they were like

01:33:37.940 who are being genocided on their farms. 0.97

01:33:40.560 Right, being genocided by the black population in South Africa. 1.00

01:33:44.180 They were like, we can't do it. 1.00

01:33:45.760 And they just cut off the whole thing.

01:33:46.320 We have to draw the line here.

01:33:47.920 It's gone too far.

01:33:49.120 Yeah, pretty crazy.

01:33:49.540 That was truly incredible.

01:33:51.120 And then one of our friends, E. Manny Hope Rios.
