Gary answers a commenter on Facebook that doesn't know much about history, or at least about U.S. Constitutional history. The Three-Fifths Compromise (or Three-Fifths Clause) in Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution does not mean that black slaves were considered to be only 3/5 human. Nonsense like this, as well as cries to abolish the Electoral College do not stand up to historical investigation.
Gary answers two listener questions, one about the Bible itself and another about sovereign citizenship. People regularly claim that the Bible is a "religious" book, but unlike every other religious book the Bible roots itself in actual history. Dismissing the Bible as a religious work is special pleading that happens with no other works of history.

Gary discusses pro-abortion nonsense being spoken by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear against Vice-Presidential candidate JD Vance.

He gives background that is necessary to properly understand the entire conflict, which is essentially an in-house debate between adherents of classic Reformed Theology.
Gary begins his new Friday series called "Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope." It is a deep-dive into biblical eschatology (last things), biblical theology, and hermeneutics (interpretation). Pro-tip: Listen past the "end" of the episode for a bonus segment where Gary reviews one of his own books on this topic: Last Days Madness .

Gary discusses current financial conditions and the need to be prepared for short-term and long-term "disruptions." We all saw what happened to store shelves during COVID, and this should serve as a lesson to be ready in advance. Not trying to be alarmist, but being ready is always better than not.

In the concluding half of his interview with John Reddoch on The Wake Up Call , Gary discusses many different aspects of Bible prophecy and what it means to take the Bible at face-value, rather than trying to fit a complex system into the biblical text. For a clear explanation of Gary's view of Bible prophecy get his book, Last Days Madness here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/last-days-madness...
In this first part of a recent interview with John Reddoch on The Wake Up Call , Gary points out the many problems with the popular prophetic system.

More gun control legislation and executive orders are being proposed by the Biden administration. Gun violence always seems to increase at the exact moment these bills are suggested, but with over 400 million guns in this country, the level of gun violence in the United States is actually quite low. Gary discusses the tyrannical nonsense of wanting to infringe gun rights as a response to criminal activity.
Gary reviews a book by Ken Johnson called "The End Times and the Ancient Church Fathers." Johnson's argument is that the early church fathers believed and taught a similar end times view to modern-day dispensationalists. Gary disagrees and contrasts Johnson's book and views with the truth of Scripture.

Gary discusses several topics and shows how biblical apologetics apply and pertain to ultimate questions. Metaphysical concepts like love and existence cannot be limited or defined by what we can see and test in a laboratory. The physical cannot explain the metaphysical. Materialists like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Richard Dawkins pretend that "science" has the answers and yet still live according to a metaphysical moral code of good and evil.
In this interview with Darren Doane, Gary discusses the historical conditions and motivations behind The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States . Interestingly, the political climate in 1864 was not much different from our own. Christians and non-Christians alike need to be reminded of the impact of God's Word and the Church on society and culture in every generation.

The craziness of the current political situation is difficult to deny; it's like watching an episode of scripted television. Anyone who still believes that we live in a country "for the people" isn't paying attention. Facts don't matter, history doesn't matter, reality doesn't matter. The narrative is made up on the spot and attested to by the mainstream media, regardless how ridiculous it sounds.
Gary discusses a recent Tucker Carlson interview with country musician John Rich about Bible prophecy. Both Carlson and Rich point out some of the problems with the doctrine of the pre-trib rapture (there are many), including politics and foreign policy. Once again, it proves that eschatology is not a side-issue; it has massive real-world implications.
Gary responds to certain Christians concerned with Donald Trump's VP pick, JD Vance. Despite many reasons that make him a good VP candidate, many are pointing to his Catholicism as concerning because he "worships an idol of bread," referring to the Roman Catholic view of the Lord's Supper (Communion). Gary points out that politics, and especially the current state, always involves picking the better candidate, rather than the best one.
Gary points out the ongoing hypocrisy of the media and social media allowing liberal celebrities to say and post the most outlandish comments about Donald Trump. How much did these violent statements influence the shooter who tried to take him out? The double-standard is nearly impossible to ignore, so much so that even some on the Left are beginning to notice.
Gary answers a question from one of his YouTube videos about partial preterism, full preterism, and everything in between. There are disagreements among many commentators about which biblical verses refer to AD70 and which refer to the Second Coming. Gary also interacts with a recent article by Ken Gentry about this topic.
Gary continues his interview with Paul Stevenson about politics and freedom and the decline of western culture. Gary points out that a biblical worldview was essentially assumed in both Britain and the United States for many years, but that worldview is steadily eroding. Note: Gary's recording is rough in several places.
Gary discusses international politics with Paul Edward Stevenson, a radio host from Britain. Political bureaucrats are the same all over the world and desire to have power in order to maintain control. While the promises are always to fix whatever is wrong, the result is always more government intrusion and loss of freedom. Note: Gary's recording is rough in certain places, but the content is still very good.
Gary discusses the Olympics and other current events that help to destroy the illogical views being promoted by leftists and self-appointed cultural elites. Sports, especially track and field, cannot be made to serve the narrative of men and women being the same. The differences cannot be ignored, even by those who claim to "follow the science."
Gary discusses the state of the worldpolitically, culturally, sociallyand how "bad" things appear to be. He notes that every generation before us had their own similar view, not everything was sunshine and roses. The "good old days" are a myth. But even though things seem to be bad at this moment in time, good things are happening, and the cracks in the veneer are beginning to show.
Gary continues his discussion with the Resistance Chicks about biblical eschatology. Heaven and earth language in the Bible causes many people to think of cosmic bodies out in space, but is this what is really meant? Would first century hearers have understood these words in this way? The conversation leads to a different understanding of current world events and cultural optimism. The entire interview can be viewed here: https://rumble.com/v4zof46-revelation-redpill-ep59.html...
Gary is interviewed by the Resistance Chicks about eschatology and Bible prophecy. The conversation goes into many different areas of related topics and lasts for nearly two and a half hours. This first excerpt deals with an overview of preterism, historicism, the Reformation, and much more. The entire interview can be viewed here: https://rumble.com/v4zof46-revelation-redpill-ep59.html
Gary discusses Revelation 20 and the enduring topic of the thousand years and the various millennial positions found among Christians. None of the major positions base their view explicitly on the small amount of information found in Revelation 20, which means they look elsewhere in the Bible for support.
Removing the Ten Commandments from schools does not eliminate moral instruction but replaces one moral framework with another. There must be a definitive and final legal standard of appeal to justify moral decisions at the personal and governmental levels. If not, then one judges opinion is as good (or as bad) as another: Everyone did what was right in their own eyes (Judges 17:6).
