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
- There are thousands of people who are inundated
- 00:09:38.367 --> 00:09:41.003
- By all the problems that they have, and the poor
- 00:09:41.003 --> 00:09:44.874
- And those who are left out, they can't get in
- 00:09:44.874 --> 00:09:48.344
- Equal justice under law.
- 00:09:48.878 --> 00:09:50.713
- Not for the bottom realm of society.
- 00:09:50.713 --> 00:09:53.082
- No way in our america.
- 00:09:53.082 --> 00:09:55.785
- It sounds good, but in actual practice it's unrealistic.
- 00:09:55.785 --> 00:10:00.423
- Oh, now it's exception is if you're in an accident.
- 00:10:00.423 --> 00:10:03.726
- Oh, if there's a tragedy, there'll be lawyers lined up.
- 00:10:03.726 --> 00:10:08.464
- Wanted to help the little guy,
- 00:10:08.464 --> 00:10:10.966

- They're on the bottom rung.
- 00:10:26.515 --> 00:10:27.616
- And i'll tell you, you can't find one.
- 00:10:27.616 --> 00:10:30.619
- That's not the kind of law they practice.
- 00:10:31.454 --> 00:10:33.489
- That's not what they do.
- 00:10:33.489 --> 00:10:34.690
- That's not my area.
- 00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:36.058
- You have to go somewhere else.
- 00:10:36.058 --> 00:10:38.494
- And in this circle
- 00:10:38.494 --> 00:10:41.197
- Where the lawyers make the law, interpret the law,
- 00:10:41.197 --> 00:10:44.900

- They have complete troll of every this little sacred
- 00:10:49.038 --> 00:10:52.241

- 00:10:57.179 --> 00:11:01.250
- He started helping friends who had problems
- 00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:03.486
- With their will, and he charged them, you know, $25.
- 00:11:03.486 --> 00:11:07.757
- Then he had someone else.
- 00:11:08.324 --> 00:11:09.458
- He wanted to declare bankruptcy,
- 00:11:09.458 --> 00:11:11.460
- And she went to a law firm.
- 00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:13.062
- 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.
- 00:11:18.367 --> 00:11:20.870
- 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'd been to help some of the people there
- 00:11:26.442 --> 00:11:28.010
- Didn't understand
- 00:11:28.010 --> 00:11:29.145
- Medicare and medicaid and a lot of
- 00:11:29.145 --> 00:11:31.180
- The medical things, simply interpreting language,
- 00:11:31.180 --> 00:11:33.616
- Filling out forms that's beyond so many of us.
- 00:11:33.616 --> 00:11:38.154
- And guess what happened in louisiana?
- 00:11:38.154 --> 00:11:41.123

- Practicing law without a license.
- 00:11:50.065 --> 00:11:51.700
- And this person in louisiana, seven deputies came to his home
- 00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:56.605
- Where he had his office, and they picked him up
- 00:11:56.605 --> 00:11:59.141

- Frank printed him,
- 00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:04.814
- Put him in a jail cell and charged him with practicing law
- 00:12:04.814 --> 00:12:09.385

- He was practicing law to cheap.
- 00:12:19.962 --> 00:12:24.633
- For the little person.
- 00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:28.037
- And this is what we have,
- 00:12:28.037 --> 00:12:31.006
- By the way, his sentence was suspended.
- 00:12:31.006 --> 00:12:33.075
- They find it, they find him a large amount of money.
- 00:12:33.075 --> 00:12:35.978
- They compensated his computer. at last report.
- 00:12:35.978 --> 00:12:38.314
- 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
- 00:12:45.187 --> 00:12:46.121
- Our fiscal year end on july the 31st.
- 00:12:46.121 --> 00:12:49.692
- We're also approaching a historic milestone.
- 00:12:49.692 --> 00:12:53.062
- 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
- 00:12:58.567 --> 00:13:01.904
- Faith, family and freedom,
- 00:13:01.904 --> 00:13:04.773
- Fellowship, joy, meaning, significance, a family
- 00:13:04.773 --> 00:13:09.044
- Of god living together under the red, white and blue.
- 00:13:09.044 --> 00:13:12.147
- 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.
- 00:13:28.530 --> 00:13:30.532

- Strengthen families,
- 00:13:40.409 --> 00:13:41.410
- And advance faith across this great nation.
- 00:13:41.410 --> 00:13:44.480

- And to navigate our way through all the challenges
- 00:13:55.190 --> 00:13:58.994
- Of the 21st century in our land as we come to our fiscal
- 00:13:58.994 --> 00:14:03.332
- Year end.
- 00:14:03.332 --> 00:14:04.400
- 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
- 00:14:18.213 --> 00:14:21.784
- To be broadcast around the world.
- 00:14:21.784 --> 00:14:25.054
- Your support helps us bring biblical truth,
- 00:14:25.054 --> 00:14:28.023
- Encouragement, and meaning across america.
- 00:14:28.023 --> 00:14:31.560
- So let's stand together and believe god for renewal
- 00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:34.596
- And revival in our great nation.
- 00:14:34.596 --> 00:14:38.334
- For if america would catch far for christ,
- 00:14:38.334 --> 00:14:40.970
- 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
- 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.462
- 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
- Families are restored, and the nation can begin to heal.
