Charlie Kirk Today | Walter Kirn & Eric Metaxas: June 10, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | June 10, 2026
- Going to get right into
- 00:00:08.898 --> 00:00:10.233
- The ongoing saga that is unfolding in los angeles
- 00:00:10.233 --> 00:00:14.637
- And in the state of whole, the whole state of california.
- 00:00:14.637 --> 00:00:17.040
- And, we have such a treat for you.
- 00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:19.142
- I will tell you, one of my favorite guests of the show,
- 00:00:19.142 --> 00:00:21.211
- One of my favorite thinkers in all of america,
- 00:00:21.211 --> 00:00:23.413
- One of my favorite authors in all of america is walter kirn.
- 00:00:23.413 --> 00:00:27.117
- Gosh. what?
- 00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:28.551
- He's got my hard bargain mission to america.
- 00:00:28.551 --> 00:00:31.154
- Up in the air.
- 00:00:31.154 --> 00:00:32.355
- Blood will out thumb sucker.
- 00:00:32.355 --> 00:00:34.524
- All these great books.
- 00:00:34.524 --> 00:00:35.592
- And he is the editor at large of the county
- 00:00:35.592 --> 00:00:38.728
- Highway, america's only newspaper at all.
- 00:00:38.728 --> 00:00:40.964
- They they don't even have a digital version.
- 00:00:40.964 --> 00:00:43.199
- So, without further ado, let's welcome him in.
- 00:00:43.199 --> 00:00:45.502
- Walter, good to see you, my friend.
- 00:00:45.502 --> 00:00:46.970
- Thank you for joining us.
- 00:00:46.970 --> 00:00:48.872
- I'm psyched to be here at a high leverage
- 00:00:48.872 --> 00:00:51.808
- Point for american democracy, because it either
- 00:00:51.808 --> 00:00:54.310
- Slides into the ocean or we pull it out so well.
- 00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:58.081
- Yeah, let's start right there, walter.
- 00:00:58.081 --> 00:00:59.549
- I mean, you know, so a lot more intel is kind of coming out.
- 00:00:59.549 --> 00:01:03.119
- The internet sleuths are trying to figure out
- 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:04.888
- How the heck did somebody like nithya raman,
- 00:01:04.888 --> 00:01:08.158
- Who not many people in the country had even heard of,
- 00:01:08.158 --> 00:01:10.460
- That many, not many left wingers in l.a.
- 00:01:10.460 --> 00:01:12.629
- Knew much about her,
- 00:01:12.629 --> 00:01:13.863
- How she went from about 21% of the vote from the first 65%,
- 00:01:13.863 --> 00:01:18.201
- That was counted.
- 00:01:18.201 --> 00:01:19.235
- And then then the next 15%, she about doubled.
- 00:01:19.235 --> 00:01:22.372
- Her was 23% of the vote to about 41% of the vote.
- 00:01:22.372 --> 00:01:26.442
- So now she has overtaken
- 00:01:26.442 --> 00:01:27.977
- Spencer pratt in the number two position.
- 00:01:27.977 --> 00:01:30.180
- And i'm told by, you know, all the lefties this is just
- 00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:34.784
- The way la and california count their ballots.
- 00:01:34.784 --> 00:01:37.754
- They prioritize participation walter, not speed.
- 00:01:37.754 --> 00:01:41.491
- Well that
- 00:01:41.791 --> 00:01:42.859
- There's no way
- 00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:43.960
- For them to know whether participation
- 00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:45.929
- Has occurred because the ballots are,
- 00:01:45.929 --> 00:01:50.133
- Enigmatic documents with people behind them, presumably,
- 00:01:50.133 --> 00:01:55.438
- Whose faces we don't know, whose names we don't know,
- 00:01:55.438 --> 00:01:59.275
- Whose, circumstance dances,
- 00:01:59.275 --> 00:02:02.612
- Around, filling out the ballot or allowing it
- 00:02:02.612 --> 00:02:05.381
- To be filled out. we don't know.
- 00:02:05.381 --> 00:02:07.350
- So if what we want
- 00:02:07.350 --> 00:02:08.818
- Is participation, i can propose a much better way.
- 00:02:08.818 --> 00:02:12.722
- Everybody getting off of their butts
- 00:02:12.722 --> 00:02:14.624
- And standing in a line, talking to each other without,
- 00:02:14.624 --> 00:02:18.027
- Without, activists
- 00:02:18.027 --> 00:02:20.797
- Bothering them or holding a pen over their ballot.
- 00:02:20.797 --> 00:02:23.967
- And they
- 00:02:24.234 --> 00:02:26.035
- Participate in the ritual that has been time
- 00:02:26.035 --> 00:02:29.272
- Honored and proved to work and works in
- 00:02:29.272 --> 00:02:32.141
- Almost every other country but ours.
- 00:02:32.141 --> 00:02:34.877
- Well, and that's that's the big thing here, walter,
- 00:02:34.877 --> 00:02:37.480
- When i was, chat with you yesterday about coming on,
- 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:40.350
- Making lack of transparency
- 00:02:40.950 --> 00:02:42.919
- Stand for participation
- 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.622
- Is an orwellian inversion.
- 00:02:45.622 --> 00:02:48.358
- Like so many that are used in these,
- 00:02:48.358 --> 00:02:51.661
- In these circumstances, they've turned
- 00:02:51.661 --> 00:02:55.231
- They've turned elections that last forever
- 00:02:55.231 --> 00:02:57.667
- Into proof of their,
- 00:02:57.667 --> 00:03:00.103
- Deliberate, slow, patient,
- 00:03:00.103 --> 00:03:02.939
- Careful way of counting,
- 00:03:02.939 --> 00:03:05.441
- When in fact they're the opposite.
- 00:03:05.441 --> 00:03:08.311
- Exactly. and this is the thing.
- 00:03:08.311 --> 00:03:10.079
- So, you see, ro khanna is actually in very ro
- 00:03:10.079 --> 00:03:14.183
- Khanna fashion,
- 00:03:14.183 --> 00:03:15.418
- I will tell you, is sort of trying to split the baby.
- 00:03:15.418 --> 00:03:18.421
- He's at least saying in this, in this tweet, he just fired
- 00:03:18.421 --> 00:03:21.758
- Off, a few hours ago, actually, about an hour ago.
- 00:03:21.758 --> 00:03:25.795
- You know, he goes, you know, a close friend of mine,
- 00:03:25.795 --> 00:03:28.231
- He says this is canceling his voter registration today.
- 00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:31.401
- He is convinced spencer pratt was robbed of the election.
- 00:03:31.401 --> 00:03:33.970
- I explained to him that in california,
- 00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:35.505
- We can't count absentees.
- 00:03:35.505 --> 00:03:36.839
- First, which skew older and more conservative.
- 00:03:36.839 --> 00:03:39.642
- And election day voters are younger
- 00:03:39.642 --> 00:03:41.277
- And more democratic.
- 00:03:41.277 --> 00:03:42.145
- The slow count
- 00:03:42.145 --> 00:03:43.313
- Is largely because of policies to maximize participation,
- 00:03:43.313 --> 00:03:46.549
- Including postmarked about on election day.
- 00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:49.319
- Regardless, we need to figure out
- 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.120
- How california can get the vote counted
- 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:52.789
- Faster and results tabulated so it doesn't drag on.
- 00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:55.692
- This is classic. how can we figure it out?
- 00:03:55.692 --> 00:03:57.960
- This is such a we had it figured out.
- 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.229
- Somaliland it.
- 00:04:00.229 --> 00:04:02.498
- And if you read on his whole
- 00:04:02.498 --> 00:04:04.100
- His whole point is let's throw some more money at it
- 00:04:04.100 --> 00:04:06.669
- So we can get the vote counted in 48 hours.
- 00:04:06.669 --> 00:04:09.038
- But that's like the stretch goal in california.
- 00:04:09.038 --> 00:04:12.842
- But i kind of can't
- 00:04:13.309 --> 00:04:14.477
- Stand this, walter, because he's justifying the fraud
- 00:04:14.477 --> 00:04:17.747
- And the in he's call it the impression of fraud
- 00:04:17.747 --> 00:04:21.184
- And eroding trust conspiracy theories.
- 00:04:21.184 --> 00:04:24.153
- We used that we used to have a concept
- 00:04:24.153 --> 00:04:25.755
- Called the appearance of conflict of interest,
- 00:04:25.755 --> 00:04:28.458
- Meaning that it was important that politicians
- 00:04:28.458 --> 00:04:30.993
- Not even appear to be working for outside forces or be
- 00:04:30.993 --> 00:04:34.397
- Taking money from the people that they're supposed to be
- 00:04:34.397 --> 00:04:37.133
- Writing laws, to control and regulate and so on.
- 00:04:37.133 --> 00:04:41.371
- And we were always very careful.
- 00:04:41.371 --> 00:04:43.039
- And it was thought to be
- 00:04:43.039 --> 00:04:44.374
- That sort of, height of liberal circumspection
- 00:04:44.374 --> 00:04:48.144
- To make sure
- 00:04:48.144 --> 00:04:49.278
- That there is no appearance of conflict of interest.
- 00:04:49.278 --> 00:04:51.881
- What we have now is not just the appearance of fraud
- 00:04:51.881 --> 00:04:54.984
- Or just the appearance of malfeasance, but
- 00:04:54.984 --> 00:04:57.754
- The overwhelming stench of it rising.
- 00:04:58.554 --> 00:05:01.057
- So you make your eyes water.
- 00:05:01.057 --> 00:05:03.559
- And now, in their classic fashion,
- 00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:07.163
- They've taken
- 00:05:07.163 --> 00:05:07.830
- What has now been identified
- 00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:09.065
- As a problem which they created,
- 00:05:09.065 --> 00:05:11.100
- And they want to be the ones to solve it.
- 00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:13.169
- They want, you know, create homelessness,
- 00:05:13.169 --> 00:05:16.739
- Profit from homelessness, create election, chaos.
- 00:05:16.739 --> 00:05:20.943
- Profit from chaos.
- 00:05:20.943 --> 00:05:23.112
- But but this is all fog.
- 00:05:23.112 --> 00:05:26.449
- This is all smoke.
- 00:05:26.449 --> 00:05:28.050
- You have to be able to walk through the storm,
- 00:05:28.050 --> 00:05:32.388
- And reach your destination, turning neither to the left
- 00:05:32.388 --> 00:05:35.625
- Nor the right.
- 00:05:35.625 --> 00:05:36.559
- We have to do that.
- 00:05:36.559 --> 00:05:37.527
- And our moral lives and our social lives.
- 00:05:37.527 --> 00:05:39.929
- We cannot be every voice and every,
- 00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:44.033
- Every monster that jumps out of us can't
- 00:05:44.033 --> 00:05:47.537
- Detract from our mission.
- 00:05:48.104 --> 00:05:49.839
- And our mission here is to get people elected in a way
- 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.810
- That their, election
- 00:05:53.810 --> 00:05:56.279
- Will be respected by both sides.
- 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.449
- Elections are, by their nature,
- 00:05:59.449 --> 00:06:02.718
- Enterprises in which half the people or around
- 00:06:02.718 --> 00:06:06.956
- Half the people are going to be dissatisfied with the result.
- 00:06:06.956 --> 00:06:09.959
- That's the essence of an election is to have it be fair.
- 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:14.597
- Just like the essence of sports is, you know,
- 00:06:14.597 --> 00:06:18.201
- One team is going to lose at the end of this game.
- 00:06:18.201 --> 00:06:20.837
- So that's why we need referees rules.
- 00:06:20.837 --> 00:06:23.673
- You know, clear video tape of the play and so on.
- 00:06:23.673 --> 00:06:28.511
- We don't have those in elections.
- 00:06:28.511 --> 00:06:31.113
- And in that sense it really doesn't matter.
- 00:06:31.113 --> 00:06:33.449
- Legal, illegal
- 00:06:33.449 --> 00:06:35.284
- Faith is the problem.
- 00:06:35.785 --> 00:06:37.320
- And when you
- 00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:38.354
- Systematically make it impossible to have faith,
- 00:06:38.354 --> 00:06:41.624
- And when you also systematically allow
- 00:06:41.624 --> 00:06:45.228
- The conditions in which fraud traditionally grows,
- 00:06:45.228 --> 00:06:49.298
- Which are silence and darkness,
- 00:06:49.298 --> 00:06:52.168
- Then you've got
- 00:06:52.168 --> 00:06:54.270
- The end of your system on your hands.
- 00:06:54.270 --> 00:06:56.606
- What are you going to do about it?
- 00:06:56.606 --> 00:06:57.974
- And in this case, it's been so statistically
- 00:06:57.974 --> 00:07:02.211
- And in other ways blatant
- 00:07:02.211 --> 00:07:05.181
- That it almost feels like what you're going to do about it.
- 00:07:05.181 --> 00:07:08.284
- But a situation like the last, like the last time where
- 00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:12.021
- You were going to try to make this look realistic.
- 00:07:12.021 --> 00:07:14.991
- Walter kirn, the great walter kirn and county highway
- 00:07:14.991 --> 00:07:17.927
- Editor at large, novelist, thinker extraordinaire.
- 00:07:17.927 --> 00:07:24.005
- Editor at large, novelist, thinker extraordinaire.
- 00:07:24.005 --> 00:07:30.677
- Eric metaxas.
- 00:07:31.044 --> 00:07:32.879
- Welcome to the charlie kirk show.
- 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.648
- Welcome to the studio, my friend.
- 00:07:34.648 --> 00:07:35.916
- It's great to be in the studio with you guys.
- 00:07:35.916 --> 00:07:39.185
- Thanks for having me here. i have no idea why you're here.
- 00:07:39.185 --> 00:07:41.454
- What's your favorite thing?
- 00:07:41.454 --> 00:07:42.556
- Now that you're here
- 00:07:42.556 --> 00:07:43.390
- And you can see the stuff on the wall,
- 00:07:43.390 --> 00:07:44.658
- We've got we've got, jonathan edwards, sinners
- 00:07:44.658 --> 00:07:47.060
- In the hands of an angry okay, well,
- 00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:48.228
- My favorite thing is there's a banner over there
- 00:07:48.228 --> 00:07:50.363
- That my team sent you guys, and you've displayed it.
- 00:07:50.363 --> 00:07:53.033
- It's usa 250.
- 00:07:53.033 --> 00:07:54.234
- You could see it over centennial.
- 00:07:54.234 --> 00:07:56.836
- The official term.
- 00:07:56.836 --> 00:07:57.837
- I told president trump this and he loved it.
- 00:07:57.837 --> 00:08:00.206
- And he spoke about it in fox news.
- 00:08:00.206 --> 00:08:01.575
- And then he forgot about it.
- 00:08:01.575 --> 00:08:02.676
- But the official term for 250 is super centennial.
- 00:08:02.676 --> 00:08:05.512
- I'm old enough to remember the bicentennial,
- 00:08:05.512 --> 00:08:07.314
- And the whole country was crazy.
- 00:08:07.314 --> 00:08:09.683
- It's our bicentennial.
- 00:08:09.683 --> 00:08:11.184
- We're celebrating our bicentennial this year.
- 00:08:11.184 --> 00:08:14.054
- It's just america 250.
- 00:08:14.054 --> 00:08:15.021
- It's like, no, no, no, we need to have a term.
- 00:08:15.021 --> 00:08:16.623
- So the term is super centennial this year.
- 00:08:16.623 --> 00:08:19.292
- This is our super centennial year.
- 00:08:19.292 --> 00:08:22.395
- And it's on the cover of my book,
- 00:08:22.395 --> 00:08:24.064
- Which we are going to discuss starting while you're here now.
- 00:08:24.064 --> 00:08:26.933
- Okay. now hear this.
- 00:08:26.933 --> 00:08:28.969
- Okay, so eric sent me this beautiful box right here.
- 00:08:28.969 --> 00:08:33.106
- And it had that banner in it.
- 00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:35.642
- It was filled with processed luncheon meats.
- 00:08:35.642 --> 00:08:37.811
- Beautiful. yeah.
- 00:08:37.811 --> 00:08:38.778
- It was like a bag of cheetos, cheese. and,
- 00:08:38.778 --> 00:08:42.148
- And a cheese and a juice box.
- 00:08:42.782 --> 00:08:44.351
- Continental army. right.
- 00:08:44.351 --> 00:08:45.385
- And i will i will confess the audience.
- 00:08:45.385 --> 00:08:46.953
- I've only read the first chapter,
- 00:08:46.953 --> 00:08:48.955
- But i will tell you, eric,
- 00:08:48.955 --> 00:08:50.490
- And you know, i don't give out compliments,
- 00:08:50.490 --> 00:08:52.058
- Especially to you, but you never have.
- 00:08:52.058 --> 00:08:53.927
- It's really hard.
- 00:08:53.927 --> 00:08:55.028
- I think you're getting better.
- 00:08:55.028 --> 00:08:57.130
- I mean, everybody knows bonhoeffer, you know?
- 00:08:57.130 --> 00:09:00.166
- Yeah. letter to the american church. yeah.
- 00:09:00.166 --> 00:09:01.735
- I mean, you've written a lot.
- 00:09:01.735 --> 00:09:03.036
- Oh, yeah. and you're you're.
- 00:09:03.036 --> 00:09:05.572
- I hate to say it, but i think you are like, now at that,
- 00:09:05.572 --> 00:09:09.209
- Like that very elite level
- 00:09:09.776 --> 00:09:12.379
- As a historian, as a storyteller.
- 00:09:12.379 --> 00:09:15.415
- This is so well done.
- 00:09:15.415 --> 00:09:17.584
- So i'll tell you something, andrew, and i really mean that.
- 00:09:17.584 --> 00:09:19.653
- No. and listen, and i'm not blowing smoke back, either.
- 00:09:19.653 --> 00:09:23.089
- When i was writing this book, i said to my wife,
- 00:09:23.089 --> 00:09:25.558
- Suzanne, many times, i said, suzanne,
- 00:09:25.558 --> 00:09:29.763
- Something's going on with the writing of this book.
- 00:09:29.763 --> 00:09:32.032
- I feel a confidence as a writer, kind of a joy
- 00:09:32.032 --> 00:09:36.236
- That i have never felt in writing a book before.
- 00:09:36.236 --> 00:09:39.039
- I it was really
- 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.573
- It was notable
- 00:09:40.573 --> 00:09:41.941
- That it's almost like i've achieved something over,
- 00:09:41.941 --> 00:09:44.411
- Over the decades.
- 00:09:44.411 --> 00:09:45.612
- You know, you do something, you do something you doing,
- 00:09:45.612 --> 00:09:47.080
- And then
- 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:47.914
- You, you get to a point where
- 00:09:47.914 --> 00:09:49.215
- I just felt this kind of confidence and joy in
- 00:09:49.215 --> 00:09:52.118
- Some of the writing that i have never felt before.
- 00:09:52.118 --> 00:09:55.388
- So i, i always want my books to be extremely readable
- 00:09:55.388 --> 00:09:58.525
- Because everybody writes books and you're like,
- 00:09:58.525 --> 00:09:59.993
- I got the book. did you read the book? no.
- 00:09:59.993 --> 00:10:02.028
- I want my books to be readable.
- 00:10:02.028 --> 00:10:03.296
- This is summer reading, ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:10:03.296 --> 00:10:05.765
- If you're an american, it's not for history buffs,
- 00:10:05.765 --> 00:10:08.601
- It's for americans.
- 00:10:08.601 --> 00:10:09.703
- Any americans should care
- 00:10:09.703 --> 00:10:11.471
- About the story of how we came into being.
- 00:10:11.471 --> 00:10:13.506
- In fact, it is necessary.
- 00:10:13.506 --> 00:10:15.308
- It's kind of why i wrote the book.
- 00:10:15.308 --> 00:10:16.643
- We need to know this.
- 00:10:16.643 --> 00:10:17.977
- This is not like for for people who are,
- 00:10:17.977 --> 00:10:20.180
- You know, i'm sort of interest.
- 00:10:20.180 --> 00:10:21.481
- No, no, no, it's an assignment.
- 00:10:21.481 --> 00:10:22.916
- You need to know how america came into being.
- 00:10:22.916 --> 00:10:26.753
- Maybe you heard it in school.
- 00:10:26.753 --> 00:10:28.254
- You probably forgot most of it like i did.
- 00:10:28.254 --> 00:10:30.790
- No excuses.
- 00:10:30.790 --> 00:10:31.825
- Every american needs to know the story.
- 00:10:31.825 --> 00:10:34.360
- That's why i wrote the book.
- 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:35.428
- This is a standard, fun gallop through our history.
- 00:10:35.428 --> 00:10:39.532
- You know, starting 1763 to the end of the french
- 00:10:39.532 --> 00:10:42.202
- And indian war, which leads the revolution,
- 00:10:42.202 --> 00:10:44.237
- All the stories of revolution and the
- 00:10:44.237 --> 00:10:46.072
- The heroes, the people, the stories.
- 00:10:46.072 --> 00:10:48.475
- Honestly, it used to be this amazing
- 00:10:48.475 --> 00:10:50.710
- Classic story you just think of.
- 00:10:50.710 --> 00:10:53.513
- If you go back to the 1800s,
- 00:10:53.513 --> 00:10:55.348
- Americans knew all these classic figures,
- 00:10:55.348 --> 00:10:57.751
- You need to go back to the 1800s.
- 00:10:57.751 --> 00:10:59.285
- You could go back to 1960.
- 00:10:59.285 --> 00:11:00.854
- I've said this, and i know this.
- 00:11:00.854 --> 00:11:02.489
- If you stick a microphone anybody's face.
- 00:11:02.489 --> 00:11:04.657
- Mainstream american, 1960.
- 00:11:04.657 --> 00:11:06.559
- Every single person, every american knew everything
- 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.163
- That's in this book.
- 00:11:10.163 --> 00:11:11.030
- Nathan hale, you mentioned nathan hale.
- 00:11:11.030 --> 00:11:13.066
- There's a chapter in here.
- 00:11:13.066 --> 00:11:14.300
- Nathan hale, one of the great heroes of american history.
- 00:11:14.300 --> 00:11:16.803
- We should know everything about him.
- 00:11:16.803 --> 00:11:18.805
- What an inspiration. and what a profound christian.
- 00:11:18.805 --> 00:11:21.341
- I mean, amazing, brilliant yale graduate.
- 00:11:21.341 --> 00:11:24.210
- That's before yale went to hell, before my time.
- 00:11:24.210 --> 00:11:26.846
- But all
- 00:11:26.846 --> 00:11:28.081
- These stories are beautiful, and we all used to know them.
- 00:11:28.081 --> 00:11:31.484
- And that's why i wrote the book.
- 00:11:31.484 --> 00:11:32.685
- I said, i know there folks who don't know this.
- 00:11:32.685 --> 00:11:34.888
- It's so important
- 00:11:34.888 --> 00:11:36.122
- Because we obviously we care about america's actual religion
- 00:11:36.122 --> 00:11:39.025
- With christianity.
- 00:11:39.025 --> 00:11:39.926
- But you need the country needs to have
- 00:11:39.926 --> 00:11:41.161
- Its secular religion as well, which is its secular heroes.
- 00:11:41.161 --> 00:11:44.297
- You've
- 00:11:44.297 --> 00:11:45.331
- Especially because we're this diverse country,
- 00:11:45.331 --> 00:11:47.433
- You actually need everyone to think,
- 00:11:47.433 --> 00:11:49.135
- But george washington rocks.
- 00:11:49.135 --> 00:11:50.603
- But blake, here's the problem.
- 00:11:50.603 --> 00:11:51.805
- All these quote unquote secular heroes are fire
- 00:11:51.805 --> 00:11:54.641
- Breathing christians.
- 00:11:54.641 --> 00:11:55.909
- Every this is this is what i didn't know
- 00:11:55.909 --> 00:11:58.578
- When i started to write the book.
- 00:11:58.578 --> 00:12:00.280
- And that's what the big news is for me.
- 00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:02.715
- When people said, eric, what you're at, you're writing
- 00:12:02.715 --> 00:12:04.450
- A book on the revolution, what's your angle?
- 00:12:04.450 --> 00:12:05.685
- I said, i have no angle.
- 00:12:05.685 --> 00:12:06.786
- I'm just going to write a story that's in one volume
- 00:12:06.786 --> 00:12:09.889
- Because, you know, you can read 30 books or ten books.
- 00:12:09.889 --> 00:12:11.758
- I just want one volume. it's everything is right here.
- 00:12:11.758 --> 00:12:14.327
- This is what you need to know.
- 00:12:14.327 --> 00:12:15.929
- So i have no angle which is can tell the story.
- 00:12:15.929 --> 00:12:17.530
- It's going to be fun. you know,
- 00:12:17.530 --> 00:12:19.032
- When i did the research, everywhere
- 00:12:19.766 --> 00:12:22.569
- I looked, i was astonished over and over and over.
- 00:12:22.569 --> 00:12:25.605
- This is a christian story.
- 00:12:25.605 --> 00:12:27.874
- Every player in it is a christian.
- 00:12:27.874 --> 00:12:30.410
- You could maybe say franklin and jefferson are iffy
- 00:12:30.410 --> 00:12:34.047
- And that's another story. but they still got
- 00:12:34.047 --> 00:12:35.715
- The christian narrative dramatically.
- 00:12:35.715 --> 00:12:37.917
- The whole way this comes into being comes
- 00:12:37.917 --> 00:12:41.187
- Out of the reformation puritan theology.
- 00:12:41.187 --> 00:12:43.923
- You get no america without god.
- 00:12:43.923 --> 00:12:45.625
- And the proof, the reason that tells
- 00:12:45.625 --> 00:12:46.860
- Revolution that the american revolution
- 00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:48.895
- Is because i make the case and i think it's open and shut.
- 00:12:48.895 --> 00:12:52.165
- There's no other revolution that succeeded.
- 00:12:52.165 --> 00:12:53.700
- The french revolution is a joke.
- 00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:55.301
- It ends in a bloodbath.
- 00:12:55.301 --> 00:12:56.736
- They get rid of a king.
- 00:12:56.736 --> 00:12:57.937
- And what happens?
- 00:12:57.937 --> 00:12:59.005
- They replace him with, oh yeah, a dictator emperor.
- 00:12:59.005 --> 00:13:01.975
- How did that go for you? for france.
- 00:13:01.975 --> 00:13:03.877
- So every revolution
- 00:13:03.877 --> 00:13:05.411
- That they call itself a revolution succeeds.
- 00:13:05.411 --> 00:13:07.580
- It fails.
- 00:13:07.580 --> 00:13:09.048
- Our revolution is the only revolution
- 00:13:09.048 --> 00:13:11.651
- In the history of the world
- 00:13:11.651 --> 00:13:13.253
- Where people said, okay, we want to govern ourselves.
- 00:13:13.253 --> 00:13:15.655
- They actually pulled it off.
- 00:13:15.655 --> 00:13:17.857
- And that is because god was at the center.
- 00:13:17.857 --> 00:13:20.827
- That is not my christian perspective.
- 00:13:20.827 --> 00:13:22.729
- That is historical fact.
- 00:13:22.729 --> 00:13:24.497
- And i prove it in the book.
- 00:13:24.497 --> 00:13:25.732
- I didn't set out to prove it,
- 00:13:25.732 --> 00:13:26.633
- But when you just look at the facts,
- 00:13:26.633 --> 00:13:28.468
- You're like, how have we not known this story?
- 00:13:28.468 --> 00:13:31.037
- How have we not known that it was born out
- 00:13:31.037 --> 00:13:33.773
- Of people wanting to create a christian government
- 00:13:33.773 --> 00:13:36.843
- Where people govern themselves?
- 00:13:36.843 --> 00:13:38.044
- Because we used to assume it and correct
- 00:13:38.044 --> 00:13:40.313
- It was an assumed true. correct.
- 00:13:40.313 --> 00:13:41.648
- And then it got challenged by a bunch of wokeism. yeah.
- 00:13:41.648 --> 00:13:44.183
- And then we had to build up antibodies.
- 00:13:44.183 --> 00:13:46.286
- I mean, i'm starting to realize that our modern environment
- 00:13:46.286 --> 00:13:51.758
- Is a series of onslaughts, attacks
- 00:13:51.758 --> 00:13:55.561
- Against, to blake's point, are civic, religious, civic myths.
- 00:13:55.561 --> 00:13:59.632
- Totally.
- 00:13:59.632 --> 00:14:00.600
- And i, i use myths in a, in a general term.
- 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.036
- But they're the true histories. yeah.
- 00:14:03.036 --> 00:14:05.004
- And they're the stories that we tell our children.
- 00:14:05.004 --> 00:14:07.507
- And all of a sudden
- 00:14:07.507 --> 00:14:08.441
- They start getting attacked by the hokies.
- 00:14:08.441 --> 00:14:09.876
- And then we need to figure out,
- 00:14:09.876 --> 00:14:11.110
- Oh, this is actually something we need to be able to defend.
- 00:14:11.110 --> 00:14:13.313
- And so then we have to gear up and tool up and defend them.
- 00:14:13.313 --> 00:14:16.215
- Right.
- 00:14:16.215 --> 00:14:17.150
- But i really want to make the point here.
- 00:14:17.150 --> 00:14:19.285
- Yes. you sort of reveal this
- 00:14:19.285 --> 00:14:22.088
- Through the telling of the story. yeah.
- 00:14:22.088 --> 00:14:23.556
- Through your own research. yeah.
- 00:14:23.556 --> 00:14:24.891
- But this is like really readable.
- 00:14:24.891 --> 00:14:27.727
- History. yes.
- 00:14:27.727 --> 00:14:29.095
- I mean, you just the opening scene
- 00:14:29.095 --> 00:14:30.396
- Of the revolution parliament debates
- 00:14:30.396 --> 00:14:31.898
- The stand back mob violence comes to boston.
- 00:14:31.898 --> 00:14:34.133
- John adams waxes prophetic.
- 00:14:34.133 --> 00:14:35.935
- The stamp act takes effect, the stamp is repealed.
- 00:14:35.935 --> 00:14:39.038
- The town's an ex liberty affair on the road to bloodshed.
- 00:14:39.038 --> 00:14:41.841
- I mean, this is actual history, and it's so readable
- 00:14:41.841 --> 00:14:44.844
- And it's it's so insanely tear down
- 00:14:44.844 --> 00:14:46.512
- Because we're really such a blessed country.
- 00:14:46.512 --> 00:14:48.114
- Like, if you're if you're a modern french person,
- 00:14:48.114 --> 00:14:50.183
- The french revolution
- 00:14:50.183 --> 00:14:51.184
- Is the founding event of your modern country,
- 00:14:51.184 --> 00:14:52.585
- And it is a bloodbath that goes horrible
- 00:14:52.585 --> 00:14:54.887
- And basically genocide and just totally crushes us.
- 00:14:54.887 --> 00:14:58.791
- We're so blessed
- 00:14:58.791 --> 00:14:59.759
- That our founding events yes, a revolution
- 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.728
- Which could have gone really awry, ends.
- 00:15:01.728 --> 00:15:03.863
- Amazingly, we end up with a prosperous
- 00:15:03.863 --> 00:15:06.599
- Constitutional republic.
- 00:15:06.599 --> 00:15:08.301
- But you have to ask why?
- 00:15:08.301 --> 00:15:09.769
- And that's the that's the point that came to me.
- 00:15:09.769 --> 00:15:12.171
- And again, i happily always confess my ignorance.
- 00:15:12.171 --> 00:15:15.675
- I'm not somebody who knew all this
- 00:15:15.675 --> 00:15:17.276
- And said, oh, i need to put in a book.
- 00:15:17.276 --> 00:15:18.711
- I didn't know this.
- 00:15:18.711 --> 00:15:19.712
- I only knew i want to write a readable story
- 00:15:19.712 --> 00:15:23.716
- Of what happened 250 years ago, in time for the 250th
- 00:15:23.716 --> 00:15:26.552
- Super centennial. that's my goal.
- 00:15:26.552 --> 00:15:28.388
- In the course of doing a ton of research,
- 00:15:28.388 --> 00:15:31.224
- This evidence comes to me.
- 00:15:31.224 --> 00:15:32.525
- I thought, how in the world did i not know this?
- 00:15:32.525 --> 00:15:35.561
- How does every american not know this?
- 00:15:35.561 --> 00:15:37.296
- It's because all of these guys in this revolution
- 00:15:37.296 --> 00:15:40.867
- Were looking directly to god.
- 00:15:40.867 --> 00:15:42.468
- They wanted to go back to the sinai
- 00:15:42.468 --> 00:15:44.537
- Covenant of the israelites in the wilderness.
- 00:15:44.537 --> 00:15:46.205
- They had this old testament theology
- 00:15:46.205 --> 00:15:47.707
- That that we're going to get rid of a king.
- 00:15:47.707 --> 00:15:49.475
- We're going to get out from under pharaoh,
- 00:15:49.475 --> 00:15:51.444
- And we're going to look directly to god.
- 00:15:51.444 --> 00:15:53.046
- And only by doing that can we govern ourselves.
- 00:15:53.046 --> 00:15:55.848
- There's nobody in this book who didn't get that.
- 00:15:55.848 --> 00:15:59.285
- They all got the narrative.
- 00:15:59.285 --> 00:16:00.453
- I mean, everybody, including jefferson and franklin.
- 00:16:00.453 --> 00:16:02.922
- How have we gotten to a point where most americans
- 00:16:02.922 --> 00:16:05.758
- Don't know this?
- 00:16:05.758 --> 00:16:06.426
- That's that's what stunned me.
- 00:16:06.426 --> 00:16:08.428
- And again, that's not the point of the book.
- 00:16:08.428 --> 00:16:09.862
- But if you read the book, it's all through the book.
- 00:16:09.862 --> 00:16:11.831
- It's it's not avoidable.
- 00:16:11.831 --> 00:16:16.007
- It's it's not avoidable.
- 00:16:16.007 --> 00:16:21.609
- Eric is the author
- 00:16:22.043 --> 00:16:23.078
- Of the new book called revolution
- 00:16:23.078 --> 00:16:25.980
- The birth of the greatest nation
- 00:16:26.681 --> 00:16:28.216
- In the history of the world
- 00:16:28.216 --> 00:16:29.918
- A new accounting by eric metaxas,
- 00:16:29.918 --> 00:16:31.986
- Bestselling author of bonhoeffer
- 00:16:31.986 --> 00:16:33.388
- And many other things. it's a beautiful book.
- 00:16:33.388 --> 00:16:35.557
- It's so well done, and i'm very proud of my friend
- 00:16:35.557 --> 00:16:38.259
- Of what he's accomplished here.
- 00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:39.494
- People don't realize, writing a book is like birthing
- 00:16:39.494 --> 00:16:42.197
- A child. it's a huge undertaking. yeah.
- 00:16:42.197 --> 00:16:44.099
- So congratulations, eric. thank you.
- 00:16:44.099 --> 00:16:46.501
- Yeah, i know, because, listen, go buy the book.
- 00:16:46.501 --> 00:16:49.804
- Just get it.
- 00:16:49.804 --> 00:16:50.872
- But i know that amazon is.
- 00:16:50.872 --> 00:16:53.274
- They printed out tens of thousands of these things.
- 00:16:53.274 --> 00:16:55.577
- They're already sold out.
- 00:16:55.577 --> 00:16:56.578
- It's it's sound like hotcakes.
- 00:16:56.578 --> 00:16:58.113
- So get yours today. do not wait.
- 00:16:58.113 --> 00:17:00.615
- It will get to you.
- 00:17:00.615 --> 00:17:01.916
- Because somebody said that books-a-million has copies
- 00:17:01.916 --> 00:17:04.953
- Because i think amazon is is saying like,
- 00:17:04.953 --> 00:17:07.622
- They're sold out. or if you want one,
- 00:17:07.622 --> 00:17:09.157
- You might not get it by father's day.
- 00:17:09.157 --> 00:17:10.925
- So i think books-a-million has enough books to get it.
- 00:17:10.925 --> 00:17:13.561
- But i think even if you order from amazon,
- 00:17:13.561 --> 00:17:15.463
- You'll get it before father's day.
- 00:17:15.463 --> 00:17:16.498
- But they're not guaranteeing it.
- 00:17:16.498 --> 00:17:17.932
- But this is good news.
- 00:17:17.932 --> 00:17:18.867
- This means that people are buying the book.
- 00:17:18.867 --> 00:17:20.602
- And my assignment for america,
- 00:17:20.602 --> 00:17:22.470
- You got to read this this summer.
- 00:17:22.470 --> 00:17:23.838
- I don't care if you steal it, you got to not steal it.
- 00:17:23.838 --> 00:17:26.774
- America's.
- 00:17:26.774 --> 00:17:27.742
- You got to know where you can steal it from.
- 00:17:27.742 --> 00:17:29.344
- You know your brother from your brother.
- 00:17:29.344 --> 00:17:31.713
- But you can.
- 00:17:31.713 --> 00:17:32.847
- But i guess the point is that we have an assignment.
- 00:17:32.847 --> 00:17:34.983
- We need to know our story.
- 00:17:34.983 --> 00:17:37.118
- And that's not like it's not extra credit.
- 00:17:37.118 --> 00:17:40.221
- The reason we've drifted so far. you know this.
- 00:17:40.221 --> 00:17:42.190
- You guys know this is because we don't know this stuff.
- 00:17:42.190 --> 00:17:45.260
- We've forgotten this stuff.
- 00:17:45.260 --> 00:17:46.461
- We've taken it for granted. we've let it slide.
- 00:17:46.461 --> 00:17:48.730
- If you don't know
- 00:17:48.730 --> 00:17:49.797
- The biblical roots of the founding of america
- 00:17:49.797 --> 00:17:52.500
- That all of the founders understood that, then you're
- 00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:56.104
- You're really missing it.
- 00:17:56.104 --> 00:17:57.138
- And you can't we can't sustain what we have.
- 00:17:57.138 --> 00:18:00.208
- You cannot have liberty
- 00:18:00.208 --> 00:18:01.709
- Without people looking to god being virtuous.
- 00:18:01.709 --> 00:18:04.712
- And again, that's not what the book's about.
- 00:18:04.712 --> 00:18:05.947
- But you just can't help but see george washington.
- 00:18:05.947 --> 00:18:08.616
- Oh my gosh.
- 00:18:08.616 --> 00:18:10.585
- This was a man.
- 00:18:09.817 --> 00:18:11.452
- When they say he's a deist,
- 00:18:11.452 --> 00:18:13.021
- That is like, you might as well say he's a radical muslim.
- 00:18:13.021 --> 00:18:16.090
- It's the dumbest thing.
- 00:18:16.090 --> 00:18:17.859
- These were men. they were they were christians.
- 00:18:17.859 --> 00:18:19.527
- You you've, given the country a great gift here.
- 00:18:19.527 --> 00:18:23.031
- Eric, honestly, thank you for this.
- 00:18:23.031 --> 00:18:24.799
- I got it.
- 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:25.867
- We got to light up. jasmine crockett. let's do it.
- 00:18:25.867 --> 00:18:28.469
- Splc hearing jim jordan.
- 00:18:29.003 --> 00:18:31.372
- Judiciary committee's doing it.
- 00:18:31.372 --> 00:18:32.740
- I submitted a letter for this.
- 00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.841
- We have some of our students in the room.
- 00:18:33.841 --> 00:18:35.577
- Jasmine crockett took it upon herself to make a fool of her.
- 00:18:35.577 --> 00:18:38.413
- Of herself again. let's play 36.
- 00:18:38.413 --> 00:18:40.949
- I know some of y'all are, you know, capon for charlie kirk
- 00:18:40.949 --> 00:18:45.520
- Because i hadn't heard y'all talk
- 00:18:45.520 --> 00:18:46.854
- About his organization over and over and over.
- 00:18:46.854 --> 00:18:49.557
- So i'm not going to play with
- 00:18:49.557 --> 00:18:50.758
- Anybody who's going to play with my time.
- 00:18:50.758 --> 00:18:52.093
- So i'm going directly to miss mccord.
- 00:18:52.093 --> 00:18:54.095
- If i see a black pilot, i'm
- 00:18:54.095 --> 00:18:56.965
- Going to be like, boy, i hope he's qualified.
- 00:18:56.965 --> 00:18:59.867
- Does that sound like a hater or not?
- 00:18:59.867 --> 00:19:03.338
- That sounds like a racial stereotype.
- 00:19:03.338 --> 00:19:05.707
- Okay. sounds good to me.
- 00:19:05.707 --> 00:19:06.975
- We made a huge mistake when we passed
- 00:19:06.975 --> 00:19:10.044
- The civil rights act in the mid 1960s.
- 00:19:10.044 --> 00:19:14.015
- Sounds like
- 00:19:14.349 --> 00:19:15.283
- Someone who, still adheres to racist views.
- 00:19:15.283 --> 00:19:18.653
- Okay, america has freedom of religion.
- 00:19:18.653 --> 00:19:21.189
- Of course, but we should be frank.
- 00:19:21.189 --> 00:19:23.625
- Large dedicated islamic areas are a threat to america.
- 00:19:23.625 --> 00:19:27.962
- These all just happen
- 00:19:28.463 --> 00:19:29.430
- To be comments from the fearless leader
- 00:19:29.430 --> 00:19:32.133
- Of, turning point usa.
- 00:19:32.133 --> 00:19:35.169
- So i could see where splc was going.
- 00:19:35.169 --> 00:19:37.805
- It's funny she's written all this plc.
- 00:19:37.805 --> 00:19:39.574
- Charlie.
- 00:19:39.574 --> 00:19:40.675
- Never, charlie never funded a klan cross burning.
- 00:19:40.675 --> 00:19:42.176
- Or as the plc has.
- 00:19:42.176 --> 00:19:43.611
- Yeah, multiple times.
- 00:19:43.611 --> 00:19:44.812
- Paid millions of dollars to kkk members.
- 00:19:44.812 --> 00:19:47.448
- Okay, jasmine crockett, let's go by one by one here.
- 00:19:47.448 --> 00:19:49.817
- Black pilots.
- 00:19:49.817 --> 00:19:51.052
- That is a bastard.
- 00:19:51.052 --> 00:19:52.387
- Rise out of context.
- 00:19:52.387 --> 00:19:53.621
- Clip bingo, where charlie was reflecting
- 00:19:53.621 --> 00:19:56.357
- On the fact that the ceo of united was going
- 00:19:56.357 --> 00:19:59.394
- To mandate racial quotas and gender quotas
- 00:19:59.394 --> 00:20:02.664
- On the new pilot class, taking it from about 8,515%, 85
- 00:20:02.664 --> 00:20:07.302
- Straight white men or white men in general,
- 00:20:07.302 --> 00:20:09.437
- To 15% minorities, and going to mandate that
- 00:20:09.437 --> 00:20:11.873
- The new pilot class was 5050 on his questions.
- 00:20:11.873 --> 00:20:15.076
- Are there enough black pilots to to make 50%?
- 00:20:15.076 --> 00:20:17.945
- Are there enough minority pilots
- 00:20:17.945 --> 00:20:19.180
- To make up 50% of the new pilot class?
- 00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:21.382
- Other on his questions, are you can you guarantee that
- 00:20:21.382 --> 00:20:24.719
- The safety standards will continue to be met at 85,
- 00:20:24.719 --> 00:20:28.222
- 15, going to 50, 50?
- 00:20:28.222 --> 00:20:29.924
- Lots of honest questions.
- 00:20:29.924 --> 00:20:31.092
- If you were going to force racial quotas into the system,
- 00:20:31.092 --> 00:20:33.895
- Every time that happens, quality fed standards drop.
- 00:20:33.895 --> 00:20:38.299
- You see this in medical schools.
- 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.234
- You see this in policing.
- 00:20:40.234 --> 00:20:41.602
- This is a joke.
- 00:20:41.602 --> 00:20:42.670
- So charlie
- 00:20:42.670 --> 00:20:43.638
- Responded, that says, i don't do this now,
- 00:20:43.638 --> 00:20:45.373
- But if you're going to enforce it, i'm going to say,
- 00:20:45.373 --> 00:20:47.308
- Hey, i hope he's qualified, because guess what?
- 00:20:47.308 --> 00:20:49.911
- That is a actual logical and rational reaction
- 00:20:49.911 --> 00:20:52.947
- To charlie believed in equality.
- 00:20:52.947 --> 00:20:54.115
- Charlie believes in having equal standards for people,
- 00:20:54.115 --> 00:20:56.084
- And you accept whatever the consequences is.
- 00:20:56.084 --> 00:20:58.820
- If you say you have to be
- 00:20:58.820 --> 00:21:00.154
- The most qualified person to become a pilot,
- 00:21:00.154 --> 00:21:01.889
- And that means white dudes become pilots, great.
- 00:21:01.889 --> 00:21:05.426
- Everyone's safer because they're
- 00:21:05.426 --> 00:21:06.728
- Flying on planes with good pilots. yeah.
- 00:21:06.728 --> 00:21:08.463
- Let's go to the civil rights act. comment.
- 00:21:08.463 --> 00:21:09.931
- Civil rights act.
- 00:21:09.931 --> 00:21:10.631
- Eric,
- 00:21:10.631 --> 00:21:11.866
- Did you know that the supreme court agreed with charlie kirk
- 00:21:11.866 --> 00:21:13.901
- Because they just gutted the vra, right. okay.
- 00:21:13.901 --> 00:21:16.104
- So the voting rights act,
- 00:21:16.104 --> 00:21:17.672
- So something different, but it's same era.
- 00:21:17.672 --> 00:21:19.674
- And charlie would
- 00:21:19.674 --> 00:21:20.708
- Sort of making that comment about all of that.
- 00:21:20.708 --> 00:21:22.577
- The it created racial gerrymandered lines.
- 00:21:22.577 --> 00:21:24.879
- Guess what else the civil rights act
- 00:21:24.879 --> 00:21:26.180
- Has been been used to do.
- 00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:27.849
- Civil rights act has been used to, reinforce trans,
- 00:21:27.849 --> 00:21:32.320
- Dudes, dudes
- 00:21:32.320 --> 00:21:33.788
- That think they're women to go into women's locker room.
- 00:21:33.788 --> 00:21:35.757
- Those,
- 00:21:35.757 --> 00:21:36.557
- Those laws have been bastardized
- 00:21:36.557 --> 00:21:37.392
- And used to corrupt women's sports.
- 00:21:37.392 --> 00:21:39.994
- That actually is totally a fair critique
- 00:21:39.994 --> 00:21:42.196
- That you could agree.
- 00:21:42.196 --> 00:21:43.364
- Charlie also said, i agree with the intent of the civil
- 00:21:43.364 --> 00:21:45.800
- Rights act, but it went too far.
- 00:21:45.800 --> 00:21:47.034
- It became extra constitutional.
- 00:21:47.034 --> 00:21:49.137
- It became the new constitution.
- 00:21:49.137 --> 00:21:50.505
- The new founding of america
- 00:21:50.505 --> 00:21:51.739
- Did the opposite of what people thought it was going to do,
- 00:21:51.739 --> 00:21:53.841
- Which is they wanted to abolish discrimination.
- 00:21:53.841 --> 00:21:56.344
- Instead, it mandates discrimination.
- 00:21:56.344 --> 00:21:58.279
- And the civil rights act
- 00:21:58.279 --> 00:21:59.280
- Is why we have laws that just say, actually,
- 00:21:59.280 --> 00:22:01.682
- Your office needs to do affirmative action.
- 00:22:01.682 --> 00:22:04.619
- You need to do all this favoritism.
- 00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:06.354
- It's why we get anti-white discrimination in university
- 00:22:06.354 --> 00:22:09.357
- Admissions and hiring and government contracts.
- 00:22:09.357 --> 00:22:11.592
- All of these things are downstream of that.
- 00:22:11.592 --> 00:22:13.227
- And charlie said, no, america's principle is equality.
- 00:22:13.227 --> 00:22:16.397
- Equality under the law for individuals.
- 00:22:16.397 --> 00:22:18.466
- Well, and then they go after the islamic, question.
- 00:22:18.466 --> 00:22:21.369
- So charlie said, listen,
- 00:22:21.369 --> 00:22:22.904
- It's not good to have whole neighborhoods
- 00:22:22.904 --> 00:22:24.739
- That are established on like sharia law.
- 00:22:24.739 --> 00:22:27.575
- Whoa, that's super controversial.
- 00:22:27.575 --> 00:22:29.811
- Oh, that's and i just couldn't get over the fact
- 00:22:29.811 --> 00:22:32.713
- That she goes to the splc rep and she goes, well,
- 00:22:32.713 --> 00:22:34.882
- That seems like racial animus and that seems like, bigotry
- 00:22:34.882 --> 00:22:38.052
- And that seems. no, it's called common sense.
- 00:22:38.052 --> 00:22:40.254
- We don't want people that are, subject
- 00:22:40.254 --> 00:22:43.658
- Subjugating other people, taxing them, creating,
- 00:22:43.658 --> 00:22:46.594
- Streets named after islamic conquerors.
- 00:22:46.594 --> 00:22:49.464
- It's worse than that. they're they're beating.
- 00:22:49.464 --> 00:22:51.365
- They're they're beating their wives.
- 00:22:51.365 --> 00:22:53.568
- Let's be honest.
- 00:22:53.568 --> 00:22:54.836
- They are beating their wives.
- 00:22:54.836 --> 00:22:56.838
- And they're saying, according to our laws,
- 00:22:56.838 --> 00:22:59.273
- That is absolutely fine.
- 00:22:59.273 --> 00:23:00.942
- Well, according to the american laws, it's not fine.
- 00:23:00.942 --> 00:23:03.845
- So the idea that we're going to
- 00:23:03.845 --> 00:23:04.779
- Have an area that's not going to abide
- 00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:06.581
- By the rules of the united states
- 00:23:06.581 --> 00:23:07.882
- Of america, obviously, that's the problem.
- 00:23:07.882 --> 00:23:10.852
- Guess what? i'll go one step further.
- 00:23:10.852 --> 00:23:12.253
- No more islamic immigration into the country.
- 00:23:12.253 --> 00:23:14.388
- It's bad for the country. we're a christian nation.
- 00:23:14.388 --> 00:23:16.757
- We're founded
- 00:23:16.757 --> 00:23:17.391
- As a christian nation,
- 00:23:17.391 --> 00:23:18.392
- And we will continue to be a christian nation
- 00:23:18.392 --> 00:23:20.127
- If i have something to do about it.
- 00:23:20.127 --> 00:23:21.696
- God bless you, eric metaxas. god bless you.
- 00:23:21.696 --> 00:23:23.731
- Thanks for having me.
- 00:23:23.731 --> 00:23:23.731
