#395 Dissecting The Republican Debate, Donald Trump, Joe Biden: Can a Politician Save Us From the Impending Destruction?

Before I get involved , I want to just tell you about our sponsor . Our sponsor is you . Our sponsor is you . You make this possible . You make this podcast possible . You make the JP II Renewal Center possible All the work we do . I wish you could follow me around for a couple of days and see the beautiful work that we're doing .

I know some of you have seen us talk , coming in with a new program called Love Ed , helping parents talk to their children about their sexuality and the beauty of God's plan , etc . Etc . And so please go to our website . Go under partner on our website . Our website is still in progress , but it's up and running . Go under partner .

There's a 50-50 partnership there . We're looking for 50 people that are generous enough to donate $50 a month to partner with us . We have to bring somebody else on to help with this Love Ed program and some other things that we're doing , and that's just the start .

But if we can get that going , we have some other donors lined up , so that would get us at least to the point where we can launch this program , and it's much needed in the world . So thank you very much . Please consider that .

I want to start out as I analyze the Republican Party and also just look at politics in general with a little bit of groundwork . You know Donald Trump for all his flaws . I think we can all sense that something nefarious is going on there , isn't it that the left can get away with just about anything and they're just taken down any opponent .

So there's something really sinister about that and I think we all have to be aware of that and pay attention to that . And we have to say this I would say that most people , at least now , can agree that , despite all his flaws and his tweets and not liking his personality , you'd have to say he was a good president .

You know , if president isn't there to be liked as much as to really unleash the beauty and the power of what our country stands for , which is the people , by the people , for the people , and that's what our government is supposed to be for to unleash the people .

Now here's the problem , and this is what I'm going to get right to the essence of this and what I'm going to get into . The problem is also with the people . Our people have become a morally corrupt people in so many ways . We've thrown God out and we've lost our way , and we see that in the culture . So that's part of this thing too .

So when you compare , though , donald Trump to what we have now with this administration now under Joe Biden , and the deep state that backs them , you know this is a godless group of people who seeks to rule us , and throughout history , whenever you throw out God , whenever you throw out morality , you're going to get death spots that seek to rule you .

You turn yourself over to the totalitarian government . You know our founding fathers knew this right , our foremost constitutional theorists of the founding generation . John Adams , observed our Constitution was made for immoral and religious people . It's wholly inadequate to the government of any other . And he wasn't the only one .

James Madison wrote that our Constitution requires sufficient virtue among men for self government . Otherwise , nothing less than the change of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another . So we unleash evil in the world through our own hearts , through our own individual hearts .

And so then we get to the second point I want to make you know of the Republican debate . Then , if it wasn't Donald Trump , are there any other Republicans there and did any of them stand out ? And I'll just say this , and I'd love to , just I'm going to put this out there and I want you to email me , I want you to comment on this .

I'd love to get a good handful of comments that I can use coming up . You can remain anonymous if you want to , of course , but coming up in the next couple of podcasts because we really need to explore this . But there is one that stood out , and this is what I'd like you to see , if anybody stood out in your mind .

And so I want to start with one Samuel 8 . You know , once Samuel 8 talks about a king , you know this is God that should be ruling our hearts , god that ruled our country in the beginning . Don't forget that we turned this pyramid upside down . We said no more kings , no more totalitarians , no more dictators , that we're going to be ruled by the people .

The people were going to select their representatives and they were going to serve us and then we would , all you know , live out moral , religious lives , you know , based on marriage and the family , based on God's you know law written on our hearts , the natural law written on our hearts , you know , and this is this goes out into politics , this goes out and

drives our whole country . When you don't have a moral and religious people we don't have people , like Madison said , that are virtuous , sufficient , virtuous men for self-government , nothing less than the change of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another . This is what's going on now , but this has happened all through history .

You know , there was a time when the Israelites , god's chosen people , didn't have a king . Moses led them out and through their history , in the Old Testament you can read this in 1 Samuel , chapter 8 . God is leading them and they had judges there to interpret God's law , etc . For the people . But then they request a king .

Huh , and they request a king because all of a sudden , the system got corrupt . That the well . Let me read this to you Request for a king . In his old age , samuel appointed his sons judges over Israel , and here's where it goes bad . You know , samuel was a good man .

He judged correctly , but his firstborn was named Joel , his second Abijah , and they judged the bear sheba . His sons , though , did not follow his example , but sought illicit gain and accepted bribes and perverting justice . And you know , I make this illusion , and I want to stop here for a second , because this is what happened to our generations now .

Now we also forgot what our founding fathers stood for . They weren't perfect people . They were flawed people too , but that's why God always rules . You know , god has to rule our own hearts . God has to redeem us . God has to bring our own hearts into the story so that we can bring the good into the world , but we've taken that for granted .

The same thing happened to these , especially this last few generations . Look at , this has been going on since the beginning , since the fall right , but we've really thrown God out of the United States of America . You know , when it was founded , it was founded on a religious and moral people , right ?

So , therefore , with the bribes and perverting justice , therefore , all the elders of Israel came in a body to Samuel at Rama and said to him now that you are old and your sons do not follow your example , appoint the king over us , as other nations have to judge us . Well , samuel was displeased when he asked for it .

When he was asked for a king to judge them . He prayed to the Lord , however , who said in an answer grant the people's every request . It's not you they reject . They are rejecting me as their king . Wow , and this is what we've done , right ? We've rejected God as their king , and now the tyrants will come to rule us . Right ?

And so I'm just going to go on , because I'm going to skip a little bit and just talk about what God says to them . So Samuel delivered the message of the Lord in full to those who were asking him for a king . He told them , though , the rights of the king who will rule you will be as follows Listen to how this is unpacked .

He will take your sons and assign them to his chariots and his horses . In other words , he's going to take them into his military right and they will run before his chariot . He will also appoint from among them his commanders of groups of a thousand and a hundred soldiers . So he's setting up an army . Huh , no longer have God to protect us .

Now we have to set up armies , and he will set them to do his plowing and his harvesting make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots . Are we not doing that today ? Listen to this . He will use your daughters as ointment makers , as cooks , as bakers . He will take the best of your fields , vineyards , olive groves , give them to his officials .

He will tie their crops in your vineyards and give the revenue to his eunuchs and his slaves . You know , and it goes on and on and on , using and abusing his people . I mean , look at , we're getting taxed to death here . We should never have been taxed , you know , any more than 10 percent like a tithe here .

You know , in the beginning we didn't even have a tax at the federal level , and now we accept this , we've normalized that . They just they're in our pockets all the time . And but it's the moral corruption that I'm speaking about here today . So I wanted to . Jeffrey Tucker , who I really like .

He writes , writes for Brownstone , which I think he founded , actually brownstoneorg , you can go . The article is the great game of let's Pretend . And he also writes for the Epic News , and so I get that , and so he does a good job . And he wrote this two nights ago was supposed to be a night of reckoning and truth .

He's talking about the Republican debates and also the interview with the Tucker head , with Donald Trump . The intrepid and independent journalist Tucker Carlson , who I personally like I'll just add here right was to grill Donald Trump , who skipped the GOP debates because he is already the hands-down frontrunner and doesn't want anything to do with conventional politics .

Oddly , none of it came up in his interview with Trump . The interview answered none of our questions about why Trump did what he did , which not only wrecked the American economy but arguably lost him the election . When he shut down the economy , I mean , he was pushing the COVID backs and stuff right .

Even if you think the election was stolen , it was only through the mail-in ballots that the COVID controls unleashed Interesting right . Tucker drilled down into none of this . It was as if 2020 did not happen at all . The simultaneous GOP debate was even worse .

Ron DeSantis started with a bang and spoke about lockdowns , with the topic fizzled quickly Following a fury of pharma ads . Indeed , the entire event was funded by FDA-approved drug sales . The moderators briefly asked former Vice President Mike Pence if he thought his administration bore any responsibility for learning loss because the Trump administration erred .

School closures Spent Pence , who spent 2020 running cover for Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx , wholly ignored the question and said something else . The topic was never revisited again . It's unbelievable , right ? So ? Mike Pence , donald Trump , they were fooled . They trusted in these guys , as we know , but yet they were fooled . These aren't perfect people .

Again , we need a God , don't we ? We need God to be able to see through all this stuff , and then we need to surround ourselves with God-faring people that also believe in God . But what happens is right . This deep state is there , attacking , attacking , attacking . And then Tucker goes on this . This is Jeffrey .

Tucker goes on to write there was not one word about text .

Censorship , the millions displaced and harmed by vaccine mandates , the dictatorial reach of the administrative state , the vast flurry of litigation against everything and everybody , the mass loss of trust and government and the media , the foundational attack on the Bill of Rights , the very threat that it could happen again .

On the same day as the debate , we already saw mass mandates being reimposed . No one spoke about it . You surely see what's going on here . The biggest issues in American life , which everybody experienced with with vast tragedy and death all around , and about which everybody knows , are suddenly too sensitive to bring up .

It's something of which multitudes are aware , but because of all official institutions were involved , all official institutions are quiet about it .

Meanwhile , we've got Robert F Kennedy Jr out there on countless public interviews as a presidential candidate , saying remarkable things like the CIA in 1963 killed his uncle who was president , that the intelligence community works with Big Pharma on gain of function to create new killer viruses , that this germ game has been going on for a long time and the lockdowns

of 2020 was a coup d'etat against representative democracy . And right now we have industry captured . Deep state agencies that are ruling America have no regard whatever for the US Constitution or the idea of freedom . He says all of this , robert Kennedy , without any shyness and with a great deal of knowledge and detail . He provides the receipts .

Indeed , he's written several books on these themes . People listen and think , oh , that's very interesting , and they go to hear him speak without any presumption that he stands any chance to be president , despite his wild popularity , because essentially the fix is in . Biden has already been selected to get the nomination , which rather demonstrates F RFK's point .

Meanwhile , I've never once heard any reporter read any article that challenges him on any of the facts it says . If everyone knows what's going on and what he's saying is true , but we cannot do anything about it . So he's tolerated as a wayward eccentric from a noble lineage , but best ignored if we know what's good for us .

You see , everyone in the top layer of this manufactured consent is glad to play along with this . The deep state , tell everybody looking for money , power . Everybody's got their little , their little piece of the action right .

And meanwhile all the citizens are fully aware now that the intelligence community is deeply involved in areas of life which we previously thought were independent , and we suspect this is true even of organizations and publications we once thought were more or less trustworthy . How else to explain their silence or their lies and all the crucial issues of our time ?

As regards all the institutions that locked down the population just a few years ago , nothing's changed . Sure , there's a few court decisions , extent that said they went too far , but those are all being challenged and awaits appeals to the Supreme Court .

But while these grueling processes play themselves out , we have Google , youtube , facebook , linkedin and all the rest of our formerly free social media platforms that are more brutally sensorial than ever before .

Youtube even announced that it will tolerate no content that contradicts the World Health Organization , the WHO , which only three years ago recommended to the entire world the lock-nounds pioneered by the CCP in Wuhan . And I'll add this to that . You know , the WHO is put in place . The leadership of the WHO has been put in place by the Chinese Communist Party .

It's amazing how this is twisted in the story . The evil has got into everything and we allowed it . Why ? Because we take God out , we let evil reign . You know , as we go on here , you know who could imagine , really , that the collapse on this level would happen in plain sight and everyone would see it ?

And yet the entirety of our culture and the planners , you see , the planners allowed to , in effect , impose on all of us . And why don't we do anything ? It's like we sit in a proverbial pot with the frog and we just put our heads down . And we've been sitting there for so long , apathetic , that we are stewing in the sewage right .

And meanwhile Tucker writes Jeffrey Tucker , I go back to his article . The highest hopes for saving the country from ruin are being placed in the hands of the very chief executive under which all this began .

He said , and why he's talking about going back , you know , to Trump again , because people believe that he was tricked and betrayed into greenlighting of this wreckage , even though he has never actually said anything like this . It's only and it's the only hope people have . It seems it's a thin hope . Indeed . He writes so .

When I first read Orwell's 19th 84 , it seemed like a dark and implausible fantasy and warning . I never imagined it was a really something that could really happen . Huh , a reality that that Orwell saw unfolding before him in the rising totalitarian of his of his time .

It turns out that he was a prophet of just how corrupt a highly politicized society with overweening bureaucracy can be in practice . When careerism , trump's courage and the caste-nexus spreads the coercive mindset throughout all the commanding heights of the social order , wow , you know , I think about Bishop Sheen .

When you know sometimes you got to put this all into play , how could this evil come into the world ? Well , we see lessons of this all through history . Bishop Sheen , I think , puts it into perspective just as well . We're all complicit in this . He says , only those who live by faith really know what's happening in the world .

The great masses without faith are unconscious of the destructive processes going on because they have lost the vision of the heights from which they have fallen . End quote . What have we done ? We've normalized the fall . What is the fall ? The fall of sin . You know the human being made up of a body and saw the default position it's sin and death .

You know you don't have a redeemer and then we unleash sin and death in our own hearts . I mean , this is just the reality of who we are . We suffer from the threefold concupiscence , from original sin . Death is here . It's a reality , tick tock , tick tock . We have this little dash I always call it huh Between the day we were born and the day we die .

What do we do in that dash ? This is a battle between good and evil . What side do we come on ? Jeff Childers , he writes coffee and COVID . If you don't know coffee and COVID , jeff Childers , who's an attorney , he's been writing this . When COVID first came out , I suggest looking him up and subscribing to describing to him .

And in essence , he says in his article he doesn't believe in the Superman theory of politics and in my opinion , neither should you and neither should I . Right , politicians are all human beings , right , but that said , they're all flawed men and women . We're looking for a savior where none exists . Is it good to have good politicians ? Of course it is .

But good politicians , you know , moral , ethical , virtuous politicians , are voted in by who , selected by . Good , moral , virtuous people , as John Adams said , a morally and religious people , as Madison said , a virtuous people , right , see , try as they might , they cannot solve the problems of the world . You know .

They can only help , right , they can only serve us . We have to be the lights . We don't understand this somehow in today's time . Our founding fathers understood this , that this was a battle for freedom . But what happened here ?

We were just like in one Samuel that I read , that next generation , see , we got away after a generation or two from what it was like before , when we were ruled and the Israelites were enslavement . They were taken out of enslavement .

God ruled them , the judges were there , speaking to God , right , and bringing this moral fiber into our relationships and our families , and then we would go out and do good things in the world . Stripped of that , you know , things get twisted and turned and we forget what it was like enslavement .

And when we're going to find out here , because we're here again , it's right , the train wreck is right at our door , it's not going to take much , right .

So you know , when we talk about Trump supporters and this is really in Jeff Childers article it feels like they're facing an existential crisis , that a wrecking ball needs to smash into our government in order to save America from certain doom . And President Trump is that wrecking ball .

They think they don't particularly like Trump's involvement in the jab rollout and lockdowns , but they're convinced that the issue of saving the Republic eclipses that concern . So a sizable minority of Trump supporters even think the stolen election and Biden's disastrous sundowner presidency could be a part of a master plan .

They believe that Trump , and only Trump , can save the country and they wisely trust no one connected to the DC establishment . Trump supporters also have a perfectly valid grievance about the stolen 2020 election , when their candidate should have been elected . They want to right that wrong .

They point to Trump's enduring popularity in spite of four criminal prosecutions more , I'm sure , will come , I add which have only made him more attractive . They want to make America great again . But what's lacking beneath this ? You know ? I heard Mike Pence up on stage . We need a president , we need a government as good as the people .

Well , we have a president right now , with Joe Biden , in this morally corrupt world that may be as good as a lot of the people in this country . Somebody voted for him and quite a few people voted for him . I mean , if people can vote for a man like that , you got to think about the hearts of the people . So what's lacking up beneath all of this ?

Make America great again ? Well , times have changed and that we have thrown out , god , haven't we ? The sexual revolution has devastated our families , you know . Think about the train wreck . The train wreck is here and if you sit back much longer , you know , just watch until the train wreck comes for you . It always does .

History points this out time and time again . Take a few minutes to reflect on the radical dysfunction going on in so many families . How many families have experienced a divorce , children on a wedlock ?

They're suffering from pornography addictions , eating disorders , gender dysphoria , drug and alcohol abuse , domestic violence , abortion , anxiety , depression , thoughts of suicide . Add to this the increasing crime rate on our streets , inflation caused by strictly , by incompetence and corruption at the highest levels .

The tack even on our food supply , that around the world , they want to control the wars that we're starting . Look at the funding . This Ukraine war is amazing , amazing , amazing devastation that are unleashed on the world and people are suffering . Well , bishop Sheen , again , only those who live by faith really know what's happening in the world .

The great masses without faith are unconscious of the destructive processes going on because they've lost the vision of the heights from which they've fallen . Are those Trump supporters right to believe in Trump ? You know , that's up to them . Trump , it was a very good president in my opinion , and it's an injustice . What's going on with him , isn't it ?

I mean , everybody can see that , everybody can sense that . You know we don't have a blind , we don't have a blind justice system anymore . They can attack people praying outside of abortion centers . They can attack parents at parent school board meetings . You know , it's amazing how they're taking people out . They're taking out lawyers .

They're taking out anybody that speaks up for what's true , good and beautiful right . Our inherent human dignity is really what separates us from the powers of evil .

You know the world , these great masses that are unconscious of the destructive process going on , because they've lost their heart , they've lost the foundation and the fact that we are eternal children of God . When God has forgotten , the creature itself grows unintelligible . That's from God , he immense beds , number 36 . You know when I first heard that again .

When God has forgotten , the creature itself grows unintelligible . Many , many years ago , I thought why did something make sense ? Today ? It makes so much sense , you see , whether you voted for Trump or not , whether the election was stolen or not .

Joe Biden is an obviously morally fallen old man with cognitive impairment that spent most of his time away from the public in his basement and wouldn't debate anybody , and yet we elected him like a king . Huh , why , why , why ? We go back to Bishop Sheen . I am President of the United States . I am going to fix the wall .

I am going to fix this point or that point , but you know what ? It's just like playing whack-a-mole . It's like a king or queen . They sound like going out to battle . We'll fix this . We'll fix that .

You're not going to fix anything , my friends , unless you create a vision for people to step up to the plate and become a moral leader , you're not going to fix anything . You're not going to fix anything . You're not going to fix anything . You're not going to fix anything . But you're not going to fix anything . You're not going to fix things .

We're just going to sit there . We can take the form of the city . We get the form of çevи nation . We're going to look at the bi Seven Great Russia . We're going to look at the American civil military NGOs . We're no-transcript like Madison talked about . Again , it's our inherent human dignity that separates us from the powers of evil .

America , in the name of democracy , has done some good things and brought liberty to countries , to some people and countries around the world , but it also did some very evil things and it brought heartache and suffering to many , many too . Not even considering the abortion , contraception , the gender ideologies that we push abroad into the world .

We are bringing moral corruption today into the whole world , not only into our own country . Abortion alone destroys more human beings than all the wars put together .

So here is what all the politicians on the Republican debate stage Donald Trump and Joe Biden seem to not understand or address the core of all these things , except for one , except for one that I heard something different . Can you guess who he is ? Can you guess who he is ? Vivek Rameswamy . Can you believe it ? He does something to me , he moves my heart .

Something about him . Look at , he's Indian . I don't think he's . He's certainly not Catholic . I don't think he's Christian , but he says these things and it seems to be .

He's a bright guy , he's a competent guy and he stands up there and he knows this and he says you know , this is not that complicated and what he's speaking about is not him doing all of this , but coming up to reality of who we are , as created beings , as children of God , to get our identity from there , to come into union and communion with God and to

bring this out into the world , to bring our churches back right , to bring our marriages and families back . That's the only way , and they go out into world and do good things . Well , this is impossible without God , right ?

So I'm gonna go through some of the things he says , but before I do , let me just talk about the crisis of our time here in John Paul's work , right ? And before I do , maybe even something from Orwell , where Orwell says each generation , imagine itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it and wiser than the one that comes after it .

You know , as I listen to those people on stage , I thought , oh my gosh , you know you're bringing these same old things more war , more money . You know , mike Pence , he's lost , he's hopelessly lost . He's talking about we gotta fight communism in Ukraine and we gotta support more money , bring more money . Those people are devastated . They're gone .

They've lost so many soldiers and stuff . Are you gonna just keep putting them out in the battlefield ? He says , that way we don't have to fight the wars . You know , it's like he doesn't even see . These are human beings . These are human beings that we're talking about . You're gonna just send them like fodder to fight our wars .

And you know , was Ukraine before that , the government in Ukraine , any better than anybody else ? They were one of the most corrupt countries in the world . Go look them up , see where they were raided before on the corruption level abortion highs , human sex trafficking so high the corruption in government , I mean , and we were , and Bidens were in bed with them .

Just go read the facts so you know , at the end of the day , who suffers . Again , you know it's the people that suffer . It's amazing what goes on right . So we're reminded of John Paul II's reflection on the 20th century , which began the same way with the hope of unlimited progress , but ended as the bloodiest century known to history .

Modern man had placed his hopes , john Paul II said , for a messiah in his own genius , not only politicians , but in science , technology and medicine . And think about science today twisted and distorted , the technology censoring our own people , science that was let loose to bring a virus in the world Medicine , pharma , big pharma , right .

John Paul goes on to say whenever a man loses sight of the great mystery and sets his sights on this world , he always meets with disappointment , even despair . He says the world is not capable of making man happy , it's not capable of saving him from evil , and it's all its types and forms illness , epidemics , cataclysms , catastrophes and the like .

This world , with its riches and its wants needs to be saved . It needs to be redeemed . That was from Crossing the Threshold of Hopes . It's a great book . It seems to me that we should have caught on to this cosmic story by now Good versus evil , light versus darkness , love versus lust and we should seek the better way . That's been revealed to us .

Yet somehow we miss that larger story . We get caught up in a much smaller story of our own . So who's going to save the country ? Who's going to save our marriages and families ?

Who's going to save the church Kind of adding my own thoughts to Bishop Sheen's thoughts it's not going to be our politicians , it's not going to be our bishops , it's not going to be the public school system , it's not going to be our military , it's not going to be big pharma . It's up to you , the people . Sheen would say .

You have the minds , the eyes , the ears to save the church and again , I'm paraphrasing with my own thoughts in here To save your marriages and families , to save our country . Your mission is to see that your politicians act like servants of the people , that your priests act like priests , your bishops act like bishops , your teachers act like teachers .

Your military and your agencies , like the FBI , cia , doj , do not reign in sin , do not reign down death , but are rebuilt from within with moral and religious people . Again , our inherent human dignity is what separates us from the powers of evil . That has its foundation in the fact that we're eternal children of God .

When God has forgotten , the creature itself grows unintelligible . So it's decision time . As we start to look at politicians and who can , first we got to start with our own hearts . See , history teaches us that each generation is confronted with a choice .

We all stand , each generation needs person before the timeless tree of the knowledge of good and evil , in a sense alongside Adam and Eve , and we have to decide the question put to every generation and to every individual is do I use my intellect , my reason , my freedom , to build my life in the world around me on eternal truth , on God , or do I squander my

freedom and choose instead to be like God's , who know what is good and what is evil ? I'll decide what is good and I can call evil good and good evil . What's the solution ? It's just like GK Chesterton said I am , I am the solution and I'm the problem .

And millions of Americans , if they stepped up to the plate , they embraced God and turned to our Redeemer , turned to Jesus Christ . Remember this now Eternity doesn't begin tomorrow . Eternity means forever . We are eternal beings . We stepped to eternal life and we gain or lose eternal life depending on what we do in this world .

Do we bring what's true , what's good and what's beautiful in the world ? And how do we know when we follow Jesus Christ who says I am the way , the truth and the life ? If that's not plain for everybody to see now , then you're on what I call the 3S highway to nowhere . The 3S highway about selfishness and sex and the state , and around that broad highway .

But where does it lead ? It leads nowhere . It leads to sin and death . I say take the exit , mark the narrow gate , discover your identity and purpose and meaning . Number one , that means they have an encounter with Jesus Christ again , the way , the truth and the life , who will open the veil so that you can see .

You can see the battle going on between life and death , literally for the souls of men . That's what these wars are all about . The war has already been won . It's been won by Jesus Christ . But each generation has to decide . Do they choose the winner or will they go down ?

Draw from the power of Christ , the Redeemer of each of us , and finally remember this redemption is collective Jesus offered this to everybody but salvation is individual . You have to say yes . So I just want to end with an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy . I'm really impressed with this young guy . Look at , you know , is he a flawed man ? I'm sure he is .

I don't know . I don't know him that well , but I could tell you what . I've heard him speak many times now and I'm magnetically drawn to what he's saying . It makes sense , he sees it clearly , more clearly than anybody else , and he seems to have the spirit within him . Now , I could be wrong , of course , you know , but it sure seems like that .

You know , when my heart is moved by some words or somebody , it's usually by Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit , and it's usually them speaking , you know , which makes sense . So here he is , and I kind of end with this , and this is why I say he's the one that stood out among all of these people . Vivek says this that's where it all begins .

We are one nation under God . John Adams said it well , our Constitution was made for a moral people . James Madison said the same thing . He went on to say we live a great civic culture , but it's built against the backdrop of the ultimate truth . Once we start believing again , it's something greater than ourselves .

Then we're not going to be lost in the desert anymore as we are today . He goes on to say so . I think we need to talk about that more , and I don't think that God needs to be a four letter word in our culture . So he outlines his 10 principles and I'll unpack these over time . In fact , I've unpacked many of these already .

Don't get caught up in the individual issues you may or not agree with when I'm saying this . Just listen to this and maybe do a search on Vivek Ramaswamy's 10 principles . There's something really powerful there . Number one God is real . Number one God is real . Number two there are two genders . Look at , we're created a Mago day .

This goes back to Genesis , chapter one . God created them in his divine image . He created them how man and woman . He created them . This goes together . These first two . Number three he says human flourishing requires fossil fuels . Won't get into that right now , but it's amazing what we're doing .

I will say this that as we're fooling around here , monkeying around with destroying our gas and our fossil fuel industries and trying to get into this , you know trying to work out with this climate change nonsense , at the end and don't forget I'm an old backpacker we got to have clean water . We have to have clean air and there's ways to do that .

We've reduced our emissions in this country by a huge amount . You know I used to live in Los Angeles and in Denver . That smog that I used to encounter back in the 70s and 80s is no longer there like it used to be . It's amazing how we clean . We need to do that kind of stuff , right ?

He goes on to say this oh , but let me just add to number three , while we're doing all this . The BRIC countries Brazil , russia , india , china are adding more and more and more countries . They're going to have control of 80% of the oil and energy pretty soon when they add if they add Saudi Arabia and some of the others , who are all coming on a board .

You know why are they doing this ? You know because they see the threat America and Western Europe is pushing on them with this Ukraine war and other things , and it gets a little in the weeds . So I'll kind of just leave it like that .

But while Pence is worrying about using the Ukrainian people to fight the Russians , the whole world is going to start to collapse because Western Europe has lost its morality . Western Europe is no longer who they were either . They're a weakened people . So anyways . Number four reverse racism is racism .

You know critical race theory in the schools and the different , that the solution is to love people , to look at people under one God . The solution is not to put down other races so that you can climb ahead of them , and this is done by Vivek , who is a brown-skinned man right . Number five an open border is no border .

Every country has a right to close off its borders and to allow people to come in as it will . America has always opened their borders to immigration , right to those seeking a better way . But at the end of the day , if you just open up your borders , you lose your identity . Well , this , of course , is what the powers of be want .

You know , and this goes up to Pope Francis and the Vatican too . You know , surrounded by his own borders and his own guards , he wants the rest of us just to open it up and dilute , right Dilute , the American values . And this is what's happening . And we're indoctrinating the kids to do the same , to not love their country .

So it's going to be very hard to turn this around . Number six is very , very important . Parents determine the education of their children . Parents are the primary educators of their kids . Number seven the nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind . That is a huge statement .

The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind . Look , it's the nuclear family breakdown that's bringing most of this violence into the streets of Chicago . Over 80% of the minorities in Chicago are now growing up without fathers in the home . Do you think that there might be violence or education may go down ?

You know , of course , it's going to go down . You know you're going to see a breakdown . The nuclear family is not only where life comes from , but it's the building block of every civilization throughout history .

You break that down and those kids that can be indoctrinated like they are in our schools so easily , or they grew up without their biological parents , no one really to love them , guide them , etc . And I'm generalizing , of course , here are adoptive parents or foster care people taking care . Well , some of them do a great job , right ?

We know that I'm speaking in general , and you can see this violence all over , these mobs that are going in and out of these stores that you watch on television every night . I wish we could stop them and all ask them how they were growing up . Do they have a biological father in the home ? And I bet you're going to find out that most of them don't .

Number eight capitalism lifts people up from poverty ? Of course it does . We've seen this all over the world . Now we have fascism , don't we ? We have these , you know these large corporations embedded with the government , embedded with the state .

And so this gets back to my earlier premise that capitalism is the best form of economy because it frees people , right , it frees people to own , and we own our own land . We could build our own businesses . We could bring our dreams to fruition . We don't need the state to tell us what to do , but , but , but . But .

This is all predicated , getting back to Madison and Adams , on a religious and a moral people , the virtuous people . The same thing goes to our economy and our finance and in everything we do . Capitalism can be twisted and distorted . Once they get in bed with the government , they get a monopoly going , like so many of them do now . They censor us right .

So we know that . But yet socialism and Marxism isn't the answer . The answer is Jesus Christ , number nine there's three branches of the US government , not four , and that's true . The deep state is . You may or may not know . The deep state is what's running our country right now . Look into that more . It's amazing . And you know what .

He's brave enough to say he would dismantle the deep state . You know what he did when he said that he put a target on his own back . You know we had Robert Kennedy talking about the CIA killing his uncle , maybe his father , we don't know who was behind that right . And so Robert Kennedy is out there talking about this the CIA .

He says and he has proof , he says he has the receipts right . And so I haven't read enough about that and I should . You know it's amazing what he's talking about there and people aren't paying attention . Now , people like Trump , could he be in danger ? His life in danger ? Certainly he could . Could Vivek , when he talks like this ? Certainly he could .

So these are brave people , no matter what else you say about them . You know it's amazing . You know Some of these other politicians on the Republican states I don't know if they even understand this very well . And number 10 , the US Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history . And it certainly is .

The United States Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history . This was , you know , a spiritual , this was a , you know , a religious type of an underpinning for our country .

Right , when you read that , you could see , you know , and of course , our founding fathers took many of those principles right out of the Bible , right Right out of Deuteronomy . It's amazing .

Number 11 , well , he's got those are his 10 principles , but I added number 11 , protect the Innocence of Children and the Woman Beyond , because if you don't do that , and then we release this evil on the world and it can't stand . You know it's great with Roe v Wade being overturned , at least we have that , not that national mark against us .

That's a big deal right now and LifeSize News went on and asked Vivek about that about . He says LifeSize asked him you use the words nuclear family is the foundation for everything that we aspire to . Vivek says this it was the ultimate privilege that I was given .

My parents came into this country without a lot of money , so it's not like I was born into money , but I've lived the American dream because I was given two parents with a focus on education and a belief in God . That was the ultimate privilege that I had and I want to make sure that every kid across the country can benefit from that same thing .

He went on to say what we learn is that this country was founded on that same foundation Nuclear family , parents as the primary educators of the children , who have a focus on education and a belief in God . Who left us a church as a way to bring the gospel to each generation . It's not just the religious foundation , he said .

Aristotle said great countries and great nations are built on the foundation of the household . This is Aristotle 400 years right before Jesus Christ . Vivek goes on to say so . Let's stop incentivizing people who have single parent families . Let's cultivate a culture where we celebrate the things that make us great Family , and the nuclear family in particular .

Life size asks can you clarify your pro-life position ? Vivek says this I am unapologetically pro-life . I think that unborn life is life . That's another truth . I also think that this issue does not have to be as divisive as we make it out to be . I'll prove it to you . There was a famous case . Clarence Thomas referred to it in the Dobbs case .

Imagine there's a pregnant woman walking down the street , she's assaulted and her unborn child dies as a result . He said I couldn't find a single American in this country who would say that that criminal does not deserve to be held criminally liable for that Death . I want to wind down this episode with Psalm 23 , the Lord , shepherd and Host .

The Shepherd , who is the one , of course , who leads us , and the host is that he built a room for each one of us in his house , and I'm just going to read part of that the Lord is my shepherd . There's nothing that I lack In green pastures . You let me graze . You lead me beside still waters . You restore my strength .

You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name . Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death , I fear no evil , for you are at my side . Your rod and staff give me courage . God bless you . Thanks for being with me , everybody , talk to you again soon .
