The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Courts | July 5, 2026
  • Well, we live lives of defensiveness
  • 00:00:01.858 --> 00:00:04.527
  • Because the absurdity many times of our judicial system.
  • 00:00:04.527 --> 00:00:08.665
  • So here's the problem.
  • 00:00:08.665 --> 00:00:09.899
  • The structure, our judicial system is cracked
  • 00:00:09.899 --> 00:00:13.069
  • Because of a lack of access for the poor,
  • 00:00:13.069 --> 00:00:16.372
  • And it's cracked because of the fear of excess
  • 00:00:16.372 --> 00:00:20.076
  • By those who are in business
  • 00:00:20.076 --> 00:00:21.277
  • And those who are in the plus of the community.
  • 00:00:21.277 --> 00:00:24.114
  • And there's the fear of the whole process
  • 00:00:24.114 --> 00:00:26.349
  • By the rest of us.
  • 00:00:26.349 --> 00:00:47.337
  • The law is circular
  • 00:00:47.804 --> 00:00:50.707
  • In our legislature.
  • 00:00:51.174 --> 00:00:53.009
  • State senate.
  • 00:00:53.009 --> 00:00:57.113
  • House,
  • 00:00:57.313 --> 00:00:59.249
  • Senate, house.
  • 00:00:59.249 --> 00:01:01.651
  • Washington.
  • 00:01:01.651 --> 00:01:03.486
  • All of it is there.
  • 00:01:03.486 --> 00:01:04.554
  • It's circular.
  • 00:01:04.554 --> 00:01:06.422
  • The lawyer is primarily elected to public office.
  • 00:01:06.422 --> 00:01:08.925
  • Right. they make the laws, right.
  • 00:01:08.925 --> 00:01:12.395
  • And you go into a court is a lawyer who is a judge, right?
  • 00:01:12.395 --> 00:01:16.499
  • Is a lawyer who prosecutes and the lawyers who defend.
  • 00:01:16.499 --> 00:01:19.402
  • Right. they make the law.
  • 00:01:19.402 --> 00:01:22.539
  • They defend the law.
  • 00:01:22.539 --> 00:01:25.008
  • They prosecute under the law.
  • 00:01:25.642 --> 00:01:27.577
  • All of that is a perfect circle.
  • 00:01:27.577 --> 00:01:30.680
  • And for one of us to walk in
  • 00:01:31.281 --> 00:01:33.283
  • That circle.
  • 00:01:33.283 --> 00:01:37.687
  • We'd better
  • 00:01:38.021 --> 00:01:38.922
  • Have someone who's already in that circle
  • 00:01:38.922 --> 00:01:40.356
  • Holding their hands, because it's way
  • 00:01:40.356 --> 00:01:42.292
  • Beyond our understanding.
  • 00:01:42.292 --> 00:01:43.693
  • They have a norman clay and words that
  • 00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:46.362
  • The average person like you and me, we just don't get.
  • 00:01:46.362 --> 00:01:50.533
  • So it's a very, very exclusive circle.
  • 00:01:51.301 --> 00:01:55.405
  • It's like you go on a basketball court
  • 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.175
  • And the lawyers own the basketball court.
  • 00:01:59.175 --> 00:02:02.011
  • They own the basketball, and they one of them has to be
  • 00:02:02.011 --> 00:02:05.615
  • The umpire.
  • 00:02:05.615 --> 00:02:06.649
  • And only lawyers can play in the game.
  • 00:02:06.649 --> 00:02:09.786
  • This is our judicial system today, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:14.357
  • That's that little circle.
  • 00:02:14.924 --> 00:02:17.093
  • That's a little circle.
  • 00:02:17.093 --> 00:02:19.195
  • Did you know in the bible
  • 00:02:19.195 --> 00:02:21.297
  • There's a whole chapter
  • 00:02:21.297 --> 00:02:23.566
  • Uttered by jesus in that he deals with lawyers?
  • 00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:28.838
  • Oh, yeah.
  • 00:02:29.138 --> 00:02:30.340
  • Look at it, if you would, to matthew chapter
  • 00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:32.775
  • Number 23.
  • 00:02:32.775 --> 00:02:35.478
  • Seven times he says whoa.
  • 00:02:35.478 --> 00:02:37.780
  • Describes wrote a lawyer.
  • 00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:39.582
  • A scribe was a lawyer.
  • 00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:41.084
  • Someone who wrote the law, interpreted the law,
  • 00:02:41.084 --> 00:02:45.421
  • And carried out the law through the pharisees,
  • 00:02:45.421 --> 00:02:48.891
  • Who would follow the law ever so seriously.
  • 00:02:48.891 --> 00:02:52.962
  • So seven times in this one chapter, jesus says, whoa!
  • 00:02:52.962 --> 00:02:56.966
  • And the word there could have been translated hopeless.
  • 00:02:56.966 --> 00:03:01.904
  • It could be translated.
  • 00:03:02.405 --> 00:03:04.274
  • Look out!
  • 00:03:04.274 --> 00:03:06.643
  • Wo unto the lawyers.
  • 00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:10.380
  • Evidently they had some legal problems
  • 00:03:11.214 --> 00:03:13.316
  • In the first century as well.
  • 00:03:13.316 --> 00:03:16.252
  • And look, i want you to look
  • 00:03:16.252 --> 00:03:17.620
  • Especially at one verse in verse 23.
  • 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:20.456
  • Jesus says, woe to you, lawyers and pharisees, hypocrites.
  • 00:03:20.456 --> 00:03:25.361
  • For you tithe
  • 00:03:25.728 --> 00:03:27.330
  • Meant and deal and human, and have neglected the waiter.
  • 00:03:27.330 --> 00:03:31.701
  • Provisions of the law,
  • 00:03:31.701 --> 00:03:33.803
  • Justice
  • 00:03:34.037 --> 00:03:36.005
  • And mercy and faithfulness.
  • 00:03:36.005 --> 00:03:39.742
  • These are the things you should have done without neglected
  • 00:03:39.742 --> 00:03:43.079
  • The others.
  • 00:03:43.079 --> 00:03:44.013
  • You blind guides who strain
  • 00:03:44.013 --> 00:03:47.650
  • Out of gnat and swallow a camel.
  • 00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:51.154
  • Now watch jesus say.
  • 00:03:51.621 --> 00:03:54.524
  • He is saying simply that all you
  • 00:03:54.524 --> 00:03:58.461
  • Lawyers are so careful that if i'm growing, some meant
  • 00:03:58.461 --> 00:04:02.699
  • I take 10% of the mint and i give it to the temple.
  • 00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:07.103
  • If i have some deal, i take.
  • 00:04:07.103 --> 00:04:10.073
  • Oh, measure out
  • 00:04:10.073 --> 00:04:11.240
  • Carefully 10% of the deal, and i give it to the temple.
  • 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.977
  • And if i have some human, i take 10% of the cumin,
  • 00:04:14.977 --> 00:04:19.115
  • And i give it the temple at the same time.
  • 00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:21.851
  • You are totally missing the weightier part of the law,
  • 00:04:21.851 --> 00:04:26.856
  • Which is justice and mercy
  • 00:04:26.856 --> 00:04:31.060
  • And faithfulness.
  • 00:04:31.494 --> 00:04:34.464
  • And that's happening in our day.
  • 00:04:34.464 --> 00:04:37.200
  • Jesus further illustrates this
  • 00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:39.802
  • With a piercing example in mark chapter number seven.
  • 00:04:39.802 --> 00:04:44.407
  • He's still dealing with lawyers, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 00:04:44.407 --> 00:04:48.044
  • He's talking about the scribes.
  • 00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:49.579
  • Look at mark seven, verse number eight.
  • 00:04:49.579 --> 00:04:52.782
  • Jesus is
  • 00:04:53.049 --> 00:04:54.016
  • Speaking, neglecting the commandments of god.
  • 00:04:54.016 --> 00:04:57.854
  • You hold to the tradition of men.
  • 00:04:57.854 --> 00:05:01.090
  • Jesus was also saying to them, you are experts
  • 00:05:01.090 --> 00:05:05.161
  • At setting aside the commandment of god in order
  • 00:05:05.161 --> 00:05:08.331
  • To keep your tradition.
  • 00:05:08.331 --> 00:05:11.067
  • For moses said, honor
  • 00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:13.169
  • Your father and your mother, and he who speaks evil,
  • 00:05:13.169 --> 00:05:16.439
  • A father or mother is put to death.
  • 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.441
  • But you say, verse 11, if a man says to his father,
  • 00:05:18.441 --> 00:05:23.079
  • His mother, whatever i have that would help you is corbin.
  • 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.617
  • That is to say, i've dedicated all i have to the temple.
  • 00:05:27.617 --> 00:05:32.889
  • Therefore, i can't help you, mom.
  • 00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:34.624
  • I can't help you. dad, it's corbin.
  • 00:05:34.624 --> 00:05:37.260
  • Jesus says you no longer permit him to do anything for
  • 00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:40.763
  • His father, his mother, thus invalidating the word of god.
  • 00:05:40.763 --> 00:05:45.034
  • By your tradition, which you have handed down.
  • 00:05:45.034 --> 00:05:48.104
  • And you do many things such as that.
  • 00:05:48.104 --> 00:05:50.473
  • Now get this in context.
  • 00:05:50.473 --> 00:05:52.909
  • Jesus saying, here
  • 00:05:53.342 --> 00:05:55.178
  • Is one of the commandments, one of the big ones, right?
  • 00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:58.014
  • Honor thy father and thy mother.
  • 00:05:58.014 --> 00:06:01.250
  • And he say, you're getting around
  • 00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:04.287
  • Honoring your parents by saying some little law.
  • 00:06:04.287 --> 00:06:09.659
  • Remember the talmud.
  • 00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:10.793
  • The mishnah was where the the scribes would take
  • 00:06:10.793 --> 00:06:13.596
  • And elaborate and interpret
  • 00:06:13.596 --> 00:06:15.264
  • The law with case law and different illustrations.
  • 00:06:15.264 --> 00:06:18.134
  • And they had this little law that you could say,
  • 00:06:18.134 --> 00:06:20.703
  • All of my possessions are corbin.
  • 00:06:20.703 --> 00:06:22.772
  • The word corbin means gift, and i've given it to god.
  • 00:06:22.772 --> 00:06:26.375
  • Now he still had it in his portfolio.
  • 00:06:26.375 --> 00:06:29.479
  • He still could draw from it, but it was a little minutia
  • 00:06:29.479 --> 00:06:33.850
  • Their way out on the edge of the law that kept them
  • 00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:38.488
  • From being obedient to honoring and helping his parents.
  • 00:06:38.488 --> 00:06:42.558
  • It was costly to help those parents.
  • 00:06:42.558 --> 00:06:44.760
  • They were sick.
  • 00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:45.695
  • They had problems. they were hungry.
  • 00:06:45.695 --> 00:06:47.563
  • They had no place to go.
  • 00:06:47.563 --> 00:06:48.965
  • But he couldn't help them, though he had great resources
  • 00:06:48.965 --> 00:06:51.567
  • Because he had dedicated all of his stuff to god,
  • 00:06:51.567 --> 00:06:56.606
  • Which rarely happened in that day.
  • 00:06:56.606 --> 00:07:00.176
  • He still had it, but he got arou
  • 00:07:00.176 --> 00:07:05.348
  • This happens
  • 00:07:05.681 --> 00:07:06.482
  • All the time in courts of law today.
  • 00:07:06.482 --> 00:07:09.519
  • This will blow you away.
  • 00:07:10.052 --> 00:07:12.054
  • Here's someone who's holding up a store.
  • 00:07:12.054 --> 00:07:14.757
  • Bang!
  • 00:07:14.757 --> 00:07:16.526
  • He kills a person.
  • 00:07:16.526 --> 00:07:17.994
  • Witnesses see the murder.
  • 00:07:17.994 --> 00:07:20.796
  • He is taken to trial.
  • 00:07:21.297 --> 00:07:23.065
  • And somebody didn't read his miranda rights.
  • 00:07:23.065 --> 00:07:26.536
  • Therefore, a murderer goes scot free.
  • 00:07:26.536 --> 00:07:30.172
  • Some little minutiae of the law out here
  • 00:07:31.007 --> 00:07:34.043
  • Kept justice from being done.
  • 00:07:34.677 --> 00:07:37.580
  • Some little court procedure.
  • 00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:41.050
  • Someone gets off with a major crime
  • 00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:44.520
  • And see we are guilty in our courts of law
  • 00:07:44.520 --> 00:07:47.823
  • Today of taking little bitty peripheral things
  • 00:07:47.823 --> 00:07:52.662
  • And letting them become the standard.
  • 00:07:52.662 --> 00:07:54.897
  • When we miss the great principles of justice
  • 00:07:54.897 --> 00:07:57.767
  • And mercy and faithfulness,
  • 00:07:57.767 --> 00:08:00.703
  • And therefore we look around and discover
  • 00:08:01.571 --> 00:08:04.073
  • In the recent survey that only 16% of americans
  • 00:08:04.073 --> 00:08:08.544
  • Believe that the legal system is just
  • 00:08:08.544 --> 00:08:12.281
  • And that lawyers are honest, 16%.
  • 00:08:12.281 --> 00:08:17.219
  • Let me tell you something.
  • 00:08:17.219 --> 00:08:18.521
  • If i were in that profession and by the way, i would
  • 00:08:18.521 --> 00:08:22.224
  • Have been in that profession and all probability had not.
  • 00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:24.594
  • God called me to what i'm doing.
  • 00:08:24.594 --> 00:08:25.928
  • I love the law, i respect the law, i honor the law.
  • 00:08:25.928 --> 00:08:29.599
  • I believe in a law abiding society.
  • 00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:33.135
  • It's very important as to who we are.
  • 00:08:33.135 --> 00:08:35.738
  • But by the same token, we those in
  • 00:08:35.738 --> 00:08:38.608
  • That profession need to look carefully as what is going on.
  • 00:08:38.608 --> 00:08:42.011
  • Is there really justice, mercy and faithfulness taking place?
  • 00:08:42.011 --> 00:08:46.649
  • Do we have equal justice under the law?
  • 00:08:47.483 --> 00:08:49.485
  • Let me tell you what's happened.
  • 00:08:49.485 --> 00:08:51.554
  • There is great fear.
  • 00:08:51.554 --> 00:08:54.457
  • When you talk about the judicial system
  • 00:08:55.324 --> 00:08:58.160
  • And first of all, there is the poor.
  • 00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:01.597
  • The poor feel they have a fear that's
  • 00:09:02.331 --> 00:09:06.102
  • Based on a judicial system that they cannot access.
  • 00:09:06.102 --> 00:09:11.807
  • I call it judicial access.
  • 00:09:11.807 --> 00:09:14.810
  • The poor does not have access to this closed circle.
  • 00:09:14.810 --> 00:09:19.315
  • Oh, yeah. that isn't fragile.
  • 00:09:19.315 --> 00:09:21.517
  • The little person, the one who's left out.
  • 00:09:21.517 --> 00:09:23.953
  • How in the world they're going to access this system?
  • 00:09:23.953 --> 00:09:27.023
  • How are they going to get in?
  • 00:09:27.657 --> 00:09:30.793
  • Oh, you say we have pro bono lawyers here.
  • 00:09:31.661 --> 00:09:33.963
  • We have that.
  • 00:09:33.963 --> 00:09:34.530
  • We have help.
  • 00:09:34.530 --> 00:09:35.364
  • Sure, but not near enough.
  • 00:09:35.364 --> 00:09:38.367

  • With their will, and he charged them, you know, $25.
  • 00:11:03.486 --> 00:11:07.757

  • They said, well, we can do this for $500.
  • 00:11:13.062 --> 00:11:15.464
  • She said, look, if i had $500, i'd pay my bill
  • 00:11:15.464 --> 00:11:18.367
  • And i'd have to declare bankruptcy.

  • So this man helped her for $90,
  • 00:11:21.504 --> 00:11:24.673
  • And then he went into a rest home.
  • 00:11:24.673 --> 00:11:26.442

  • He was having trouble
  • 00:12:38.314 --> 00:12:39.448
  • Finding something to do to make a living for himself.
  • 00:12:39.448 --> 00:12:44.854
  • As we approach

  • Think about it.
  • 00:12:53.429 --> 00:12:54.330
  • America's 250th anniversary.
  • 00:12:54.330 --> 00:12:58.567
  • And as we reflect on what built this nation

  • As we live under the banner of america,
  • 00:13:12.147 --> 00:13:15.451
  • We also recognize something deeply wrong.
  • 00:13:15.451 --> 00:13:19.321
  • Biblical truth is being challenged.
  • 00:13:19.321 --> 00:13:22.424
  • Families are under pressure and faith is no longer
  • 00:13:22.424 --> 00:13:25.828
  • At the center of our culture.
  • 00:13:25.828 --> 00:13:28.530
  • Now it's our turn.

  • I'm asking you to step forward in a meaningful way.
  • 00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:07.469
  • Consider a gift of $250,
  • 00:14:07.469 --> 00:14:11.407
  • Or really ten others, to give $25 a dollar
  • 00:14:11.407 --> 00:14:15.077
  • For every year of our nation's existence.
  • 00:14:15.077 --> 00:14:18.213
  • We give that to the winning walk so that it can continue

  • It would touch the entire world.
  • 00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:43.505
  • Thank you.
  • 00:14:43.505 --> 00:14:45.174
  • Making this possible with your participation
  • 00:14:45.174 --> 00:14:48.210
  • In prayer and gifts to the winning walk.
  • 00:14:48.210 --> 00:15:00.856
  • We're afraid
  • 00:15:01.190 --> 00:15:01.991
  • At the excess of the judicial system,
  • 00:15:01.991 --> 00:15:05.561
  • Like in minneapolis,
  • 00:15:06.028 --> 00:15:09.231
  • Had a situation there where
  • 00:15:09.231 --> 00:15:10.632
  • A man who was member of a catholic church,
  • 00:15:10.632 --> 00:15:13.635
  • A layman in the church, not a priest in the church,
  • 00:15:13.635 --> 00:15:16.839
  • He was carrying something for a shut
  • 00:15:16.839 --> 00:15:19.308
  • In trying to be in a minister to l.a.
  • 00:15:19.308 --> 00:15:22.411
  • At the organization.
  • 00:15:22.411 --> 00:15:23.679
  • In the process, he ran a red light.
  • 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.115
  • There was an accident.
  • 00:15:26.115 --> 00:15:27.483
  • An 82 old man became a quadriplegic,
  • 00:15:27.483 --> 00:15:31.687
  • And therefore the lawyer took the case.
  • 00:15:32.554 --> 00:15:35.190
  • He was looking for deep pockets.
  • 00:15:35.190 --> 00:15:37.793
  • And finally he said, oh, the archdiocese
  • 00:15:37.793 --> 00:15:41.830
  • Of minneapolis, deep pockets.
  • 00:15:41.830 --> 00:15:45.334
  • And he sued.
  • 00:15:45.334 --> 00:15:46.602
  • And i read his last plea before the jury, i'm
  • 00:15:46.602 --> 00:15:50.339
  • Sure, with tears coming out in his eyes, legitimate me.
  • 00:15:50.339 --> 00:15:53.075
  • So for the man who's a quadriplegic.
  • 00:15:53.075 --> 00:15:55.411
  • But that tears and tell him all that he couldn't do it.
  • 00:15:55.411 --> 00:15:58.013
  • He could be and therefore the judgment was for $17 million.
  • 00:15:58.013 --> 00:16:04.086
  • Against the church, the
  • 00:16:04.586 --> 00:16:06.488
  • Archdiocese of minneapolis.
  • 00:16:06.488 --> 00:16:09.892
  • Excess,
  • 00:16:10.125 --> 00:16:11.994
  • You say?
  • 00:16:11.994 --> 00:16:12.895
  • Well, a lot of this doesn't get tried.
  • 00:16:12.895 --> 00:16:13.962
  • That's what the attorneys tell you.
  • 00:16:13.962 --> 00:16:15.197
  • And that's true because of fear,
  • 00:16:15.197 --> 00:16:18.734
  • Only less than 2% go to a court of law.
  • 00:16:18.734 --> 00:16:21.070
  • But i insurance companies, we pay off
  • 00:16:21.070 --> 00:16:23.038
  • Because we're afraid there will not be justice.
  • 00:16:23.038 --> 00:16:25.441
  • And we pray that there will be excess
  • 00:16:25.441 --> 00:16:29.278
  • In relation to the process of what's going on.
  • 00:16:30.245 --> 00:16:33.882
  • And by the way, they're poor people.
  • 00:16:33.882 --> 00:16:36.885
  • They fear they don't have access.
  • 00:16:36.885 --> 00:16:38.687
  • The rich fear excess, not in parameters,
  • 00:16:38.687 --> 00:16:42.391
  • Not in boundaries of the claims that are made.
  • 00:16:42.391 --> 00:16:45.160
  • And the rest of us, we just fear the whole process.
  • 00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:48.530
  • We we don't understand the process of all of this.
  • 00:16:49.531 --> 00:16:53.035
  • It's beyond us
  • 00:16:53.035 --> 00:16:54.470
  • The language, the involvement, the technicality
  • 00:16:54.470 --> 00:16:57.306
  • When you go and how you show and what works.
  • 00:16:57.306 --> 00:16:59.708
  • I mean, it's just beyond us because we're not in that very,
  • 00:16:59.708 --> 00:17:03.445
  • Very exclusive club.
  • 00:17:03.445 --> 00:17:06.048
  • And if you go in that club, unless you got somebody
  • 00:17:06.048 --> 00:17:08.717
  • In the club holding you by hand, you're way,
  • 00:17:08.717 --> 00:17:11.653
  • Way out of bounds.
  • 00:17:11.653 --> 00:17:14.756
  • The whole process of it.
  • 00:17:15.290 --> 00:17:18.527
  • What about in saint petersburg, florida?
  • 00:17:18.527 --> 00:17:20.362
  • Maybe you saw this on tv few years back.
  • 00:17:20.362 --> 00:17:24.500
  • You got you got this little four year old kindergarten girl
  • 00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:28.737
  • And she's in the room pushing desk over.
  • 00:17:28.737 --> 00:17:32.307
  • She's throwing paper on the floor.
  • 00:17:32.307 --> 00:17:34.176
  • She goes to the wall and pulls down bulletin board.
  • 00:17:34.176 --> 00:17:37.045
  • She's making havoc of her room at the same time.
  • 00:17:37.045 --> 00:17:40.649
  • The assistant principal is surrounding her like this,
  • 00:17:40.649 --> 00:17:43.418
  • You know, teaching somebody to play garden basketball.
  • 00:17:43.418 --> 00:17:46.054
  • Little girls here.
  • 00:17:46.054 --> 00:17:47.122
  • And the sister principal is around her like this,
  • 00:17:47.122 --> 00:17:49.324
  • And she just wrecking everything.
  • 00:17:49.324 --> 00:17:51.293
  • Finally, she sort of herds her into the principal's office,
  • 00:17:51.293 --> 00:17:54.796
  • And she begins to tear his hang up in there also.
  • 00:17:54.796 --> 00:17:57.733
  • And finally, the police come.
  • 00:17:57.733 --> 00:17:59.801
  • She weighs 40 pounds.
  • 00:17:59.801 --> 00:18:01.203
  • She's four years old, and they put her in handcuffs.
  • 00:18:01.203 --> 00:18:06.408
  • Baby's head.
  • 00:18:06.742 --> 00:18:08.143
  • Man. well, why in the world couldn't
  • 00:18:08.143 --> 00:18:10.946
  • You see?
  • 00:18:10.946 --> 00:18:11.413
  • You can't touch.
  • 00:18:11.413 --> 00:18:13.782
  • Oh, if you touch.
  • 00:18:13.782 --> 00:18:15.083
  • Oh, man.
  • 00:18:15.083 --> 00:18:16.718
  • There's a whole myriad of laws
  • 00:18:16.718 --> 00:18:19.655
  • That he come down on you.
  • 00:18:19.655 --> 00:18:23.559
  • Well, we live lives of defensiveness
  • 00:18:24.326 --> 00:18:26.995
  • Because the absurdity many times of our judicial system.
  • 00:18:26.995 --> 00:18:31.133
  • So here's the problem.
  • 00:18:31.133 --> 00:18:32.367
  • The structure, our judicial system is cracked
  • 00:18:32.367 --> 00:18:35.537
  • Because of a lack of access for the poor,
  • 00:18:35.537 --> 00:18:38.840
  • And it's cracked because of the fear of excess
  • 00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:42.544
  • By those who are in business
  • 00:18:42.544 --> 00:18:43.745
  • And those who are in the plus of the community.
  • 00:18:43.745 --> 00:18:46.582
  • And there's the fear of the whole process
  • 00:18:46.582 --> 00:18:48.817
  • By the rest of us.
  • 00:18:48.817 --> 00:18:52.921
  • What's the answer?
  • 00:18:53.355 --> 00:18:56.258
  • This isn't the total answer
  • 00:18:56.858 --> 00:18:58.460
  • I'm not speaking to,
  • 00:18:58.460 --> 00:19:01.196
  • And i'm certainly i'm outside my realm in many, many ways.
  • 00:19:01.196 --> 00:19:05.767
  • But i have talked to a dean of a law school.
  • 00:19:05.767 --> 00:19:08.370
  • I've talked to lawyers of every side of the practice,
  • 00:19:08.370 --> 00:19:10.939
  • I've talked to judges, and i have done my homework.
  • 00:19:10.939 --> 00:19:14.009
  • And let me this is not what they're saying.
  • 00:19:14.009 --> 00:19:16.478
  • Let me give you some basic answers.
  • 00:19:16.478 --> 00:19:18.413
  • First of all, let's enter into the court of the judge.
  • 00:19:18.413 --> 00:19:22.618
  • Let's go in the judges court and talk about the judge.
  • 00:19:22.618 --> 00:19:27.022
  • Judges
  • 00:19:27.222 --> 00:19:28.657
  • Need to set parameters and boundaries.
  • 00:19:28.657 --> 00:19:32.494
  • They need to be in charge of the courtroom,
  • 00:19:32.494 --> 00:19:35.297
  • And they need to have the courage
  • 00:19:35.297 --> 00:19:37.366
  • And the common sense to throw a lot of this junk out.
  • 00:19:37.366 --> 00:19:42.504
  • Now, let me tell you
  • 00:19:42.971 --> 00:19:46.008
  • What happens in a federal court.
  • 00:19:46.008 --> 00:19:48.844
  • You almost never have previous lawsuits sit in the lawsuit.
  • 00:19:48.844 --> 00:19:53.482
  • You know why now?
  • 00:19:53.482 --> 00:19:54.816
  • They have a way to handle it. federal court.
  • 00:19:54.816 --> 00:19:57.386
  • They have rule number 11.
  • 00:19:57.386 --> 00:19:59.254
  • It's about this thick.
  • 00:19:59.254 --> 00:20:01.089
  • And it says a federal judge.
  • 00:20:01.089 --> 00:20:03.225
  • When they see that something's coming for him.
  • 00:20:03.225 --> 00:20:05.427
  • That's not factual, that's not evidential.
  • 00:20:05.427 --> 00:20:07.696
  • That's not right. that's not logical.
  • 00:20:07.696 --> 00:20:09.731
  • That is silly.
  • 00:20:09.731 --> 00:20:10.766
  • The federal judge hammers the person and hammers
  • 00:20:10.766 --> 00:20:13.635
  • The lawyers. and man, he comes down on them.
  • 00:20:13.635 --> 00:20:15.837
  • You don't have silliness very much in federal courts
  • 00:20:15.837 --> 00:20:18.840
  • That that rule 11 never has to be applied in state courts.
  • 00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:23.078
  • Federal porch by the way,
  • 00:20:23.078 --> 00:20:24.313
  • Appointed member federal judges appointed it's state courts.
  • 00:20:24.313 --> 00:20:26.982
  • The judges are elected and
  • 00:20:26.982 --> 00:20:30.185
  • They they have a rule 13
  • 00:20:30.185 --> 00:20:33.355
  • By which they can handle the silliness there.
  • 00:20:34.289 --> 00:20:37.125
  • But it is very rare to use.
  • 00:20:37.125 --> 00:20:39.428
  • And by the way, the federal rule
  • 00:20:39.428 --> 00:20:41.296
  • For handling all this is this stick.
  • 00:20:41.296 --> 00:20:42.864
  • The state rule i've got on my desk is about this thick.
  • 00:20:42.864 --> 00:20:45.701
  • But the state judges, they do not do this. why?
  • 00:20:46.702 --> 00:20:49.805
  • Because they're elected.
  • 00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:53.875
  • And because the lawyer
  • 00:20:54.343 --> 00:20:55.677
  • Before them may be a member of a firm or part of a practice
  • 00:20:55.677 --> 00:20:59.614
  • That gave him a lot of money for his reelection.
  • 00:20:59.614 --> 00:21:02.918
  • Oh, i've got to get reelected.
  • 00:21:02.918 --> 00:21:05.721
  • And therefore, if he says this is not legitimate,
  • 00:21:05.721 --> 00:21:08.323
  • The lawyer presents a case. listen to this carefully.
  • 00:21:08.323 --> 00:21:10.926
  • Well, let this be decided by
  • 00:21:10.926 --> 00:21:14.396
  • Their peers in a court of law, by jury.
  • 00:21:14.396 --> 00:21:16.865
  • That's what the constitution guarantees. oh, no.
  • 00:21:16.865 --> 00:21:19.267
  • The constitution guarantees.
  • 00:21:19.267 --> 00:21:20.802
  • If there is a legitimate of the law,
  • 00:21:20.802 --> 00:21:23.605
  • Then it goes into the courtroom where their peers
  • 00:21:23.605 --> 00:21:26.308
  • And the judge has to determine that he has to make
  • 00:21:26.308 --> 00:21:29.578
  • That decision.
  • 00:21:29.578 --> 00:21:30.679
  • That's his calling, and they're reticent to do it
  • 00:21:30.679 --> 00:21:33.415
  • When a lawyer is there.
  • 00:21:33.415 --> 00:21:34.883
  • His firm has contributed a lot of money to his reelection.
  • 00:21:34.883 --> 00:21:40.122
  • You know,
  • 00:21:40.422 --> 00:21:40.856
  • The umpire that
  • 00:21:40.856 --> 00:21:43.458
  • You write a check for 5000 for him to be reelected,
  • 00:21:43.458 --> 00:21:46.361
  • Remember,
  • 00:21:46.361 --> 00:21:48.930
  • He said he's going to be objective
  • 00:21:48.930 --> 00:21:51.166
  • Even though my son's on the mound pitching,
  • 00:21:51.166 --> 00:21:54.302
  • Man, when you take that umpire
  • 00:21:54.903 --> 00:21:56.171
  • And make him a saint and put wings on him,
  • 00:21:56.171 --> 00:21:59.441
  • This happens with judges.
  • 00:21:59.441 --> 00:22:01.977
  • Therefore, state
  • 00:22:01.977 --> 00:22:03.011
  • Judges rarely throw all this stuff out there.
  • 00:22:03.011 --> 00:22:06.615
  • Fraid.
  • 00:22:06.615 --> 00:22:08.683
  • Give me more judges like judge
  • 00:22:08.683 --> 00:22:12.020
  • Janice jacques of corpus christi.
  • 00:22:12.721 --> 00:22:15.123
  • I don't know her. read the case.
  • 00:22:15.123 --> 00:22:18.160
  • Silicosis.
  • 00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:20.462
  • 10,000 people had silicosis.
  • 00:22:20.462 --> 00:22:23.365
  • It's coming for her court in corpus.
  • 00:22:24.166 --> 00:22:26.935
  • What is silicosis?
  • 00:22:26.935 --> 00:22:29.004
  • You had an incident in 1930.
  • 00:22:29.004 --> 00:22:30.605
  • Tennessee valley authority
  • 00:22:30.605 --> 00:22:31.840
  • With 600 people died with silicosis over.
  • 00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:35.243
  • It's when you breathe rock or sand in the fine air
  • 00:22:35.243 --> 00:22:38.947
  • And they hit a whole string of of silicon.
  • 00:22:38.947 --> 00:22:42.451
  • It got in the air
  • 00:22:42.451 --> 00:22:43.585
  • And 600 goes in your lungs and it's a horrific death.
  • 00:22:43.585 --> 00:22:46.922
  • But here are 10,000 cases advertised over television.
  • 00:22:46.922 --> 00:22:49.891
  • Have silicosis.
  • 00:22:49.891 --> 00:22:51.159
  • And judge jack did a very unusual thing for a judge.
  • 00:22:51.159 --> 00:22:54.729
  • She spent a year looking at these cases.
  • 00:22:54.729 --> 00:22:56.965
  • What they do, they try 3 or 4 of the cases,
  • 00:22:56.965 --> 00:22:59.935
  • Then they just settle all the rest of them,
  • 00:22:59.935 --> 00:23:01.636
  • Because you could spend a lifetime
  • 00:23:01.636 --> 00:23:03.038
  • With 10,000 cases in court.
  • 00:23:03.038 --> 00:23:04.739
  • But she looked at the
  • 00:23:04.739 --> 00:23:05.841
  • Legitimacy of these cases and saw the fraud
  • 00:23:05.841 --> 00:23:09.177
  • That was there presented by the lawyers.
  • 00:23:09.177 --> 00:23:13.448
  • She saw, for example, one doctor,
  • 00:23:13.448 --> 00:23:16.518
  • They'd
  • 00:23:16.718 --> 00:23:17.853
  • Parade them in little x-ray units that were portable.
  • 00:23:17.853 --> 00:23:20.021
  • They would come out and he'd read the x-ray,
  • 00:23:20.021 --> 00:23:22.357
  • And they had all the diagnoses
  • 00:23:22.357 --> 00:23:23.959
  • Already filled out, and they would sign one doctor
  • 00:23:23.959 --> 00:23:25.961
  • In 72 hours, diagnosed silicosis in over 1200 cases.
  • 00:23:25.961 --> 00:23:30.599
  • Sounds suspicious to you.
  • 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.201
  • She threw the whole fraudulent thing out of the courts.
  • 00:23:33.201 --> 00:23:37.072
  • We need more judge jacks who do their homework
  • 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.176
  • And have judicial courage and common sense.
  • 00:23:41.176 --> 00:23:48.216
  • Okay, let's enter
  • 00:23:48.650 --> 00:23:50.018
  • The court of the lawyers.
  • 00:23:50.018 --> 00:23:52.988
  • Counselors?
  • 00:23:53.321 --> 00:23:55.857
  • You are
  • 00:23:55.857 --> 00:23:58.727
  • Agents of the court.
  • 00:23:58.727 --> 00:24:01.463
  • You have a holy sacred
  • 00:24:01.930 --> 00:24:03.732
  • Calling in this realm of exclusivity
  • 00:24:03.732 --> 00:24:06.801
  • In which you operate, where we can't operate.
  • 00:24:06.801 --> 00:24:11.106
  • Respect the law, fear the law, honor
  • 00:24:11.907 --> 00:24:13.875
  • The law, protect the people.
  • 00:24:13.875 --> 00:24:16.912
  • So i would say to lawyers,
  • 00:24:17.479 --> 00:24:19.781
  • You're in that club, you're in that circle.
  • 00:24:19.781 --> 00:24:22.083
  • It's a holy calling.
  • 00:24:22.083 --> 00:24:23.718
  • Jesus speaks about scribes all the way
  • 00:24:23.718 --> 00:24:25.887
  • Through the scripture
  • 00:24:25.887 --> 00:24:26.855
  • With great warnings in that holy calling.
  • 00:24:26.855 --> 00:24:30.959
  • You have to police some of this yourself.
  • 00:24:30.959 --> 00:24:33.261
  • It's we can't do it on the outside because we can't
  • 00:24:33.261 --> 00:24:35.931
  • Get inside.
  • 00:24:35.931 --> 00:24:39.634
  • Now to the people.
  • 00:24:40.068 --> 00:24:42.637
  • We have to be.
  • 00:24:42.637 --> 00:24:45.307
  • Well, we have to stop being.
  • 00:24:45.307 --> 00:24:47.075
  • So how you or.
  • 00:24:47.075 --> 00:24:51.079
  • We can say anything about anybody?
  • 00:24:51.813 --> 00:24:53.682
  • I think almost any time.
  • 00:24:53.682 --> 00:24:54.883
  • We just gotta find somebody and some judge.
  • 00:24:54.883 --> 00:24:56.785
  • They'll do it. man.
  • 00:24:56.785 --> 00:24:58.520
  • Oh, yeah?
  • 00:24:58.520 --> 00:24:59.721
  • Well, and and you've got a lot of junk science over again.
  • 00:24:59.721 --> 00:25:02.657
  • Legitimate science.
  • 00:25:02.657 --> 00:25:03.592
  • And judge jack looked legitimate science.
  • 00:25:03.592 --> 00:25:05.894
  • And so the fraudulent part of this case and she responded to
  • 00:25:05.894 --> 00:25:10.131
  • Legitimate science when the jurors can be swayed
  • 00:25:10.131 --> 00:25:13.101
  • Emotionally with junk science.
  • 00:25:13.101 --> 00:25:16.338
  • So we the people have to drop
  • 00:25:16.972 --> 00:25:19.174
  • Back on all this litigation that we like to perpetuate.
  • 00:25:19.174 --> 00:25:23.478
  • Well, we deserve that.
  • 00:25:23.945 --> 00:25:25.480
  • And it doesn't cost anything.
  • 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:26.781
  • It's going to cause insurance company.
  • 00:25:26.781 --> 00:25:28.283
  • Let me tell you something.
  • 00:25:28.283 --> 00:25:29.884
  • Ultimately, everybody will pay.
  • 00:25:29.884 --> 00:25:32.887
  • Don't ever forget that.
  • 00:25:32.887 --> 00:25:40.061
  • Where do we end up?
  • 00:25:40.528 --> 00:25:44.332
  • Jesus would say to us,
  • 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:47.002
  • As he said to those in the scripture.
  • 00:25:47.002 --> 00:25:51.573
  • Justice,
  • 00:25:51.840 --> 00:25:54.743
  • Mercy,
  • 00:25:54.743 --> 00:25:57.212
  • Faithfulness.
  • 00:25:57.212 --> 00:26:01.149
  • America the beautiful, our country
  • 00:26:01.883 --> 00:26:05.120
  • After home sweet home.
  • 00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:07.155
  • But our america is hurting.
  • 00:26:07.155 --> 00:26:09.758
  • We see it in our fractured, divided communities
  • 00:26:09.758 --> 00:26:12.694
  • And in our struggling families.
  • 00:26:12.694 --> 00:26:15.397
  • God's answer for a broken nation has never been found
  • 00:26:15.397 --> 00:26:18.633
  • In politics, power, or human effort alone.
  • 00:26:18.633 --> 00:26:22.404
  • God says, if my people who are called by
  • 00:26:22.404 --> 00:26:25.473
  • My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
  • 00:26:25.473 --> 00:26:30.145
  • Turn from their wicked ways, then i will hear from heaven,
  • 00:26:30.145 --> 00:26:33.715
  • Forgive their sin, and heal their land.
  • 00:26:33.715 --> 00:26:37.552
  • Healing begins when god's people return to him.
  • 00:26:37.552 --> 00:26:41.056
  • In his powerful book, healing broken america.
  • 00:26:41.056 --> 00:26:44.559
  • Doctor jung explores the spiritual path toward

  • Healing and restoration through faith, family,
  • 00:26:47.462 --> 00:26:50.932
  • And the values that have shaped generations of americans.
  • 00:26:50.932 --> 00:26:54.602
  • Because when
  • 00:26:54.602 --> 00:26:55.637
  • Hearts are transformed by god, lives are changed,
  • 00:26:55.637 --> 00:26:59.274
