התמלול המלא של Post Election Postmortem: Group Therapy on the Election

of Marx, Engels, Luxembourg, Lenin, Trotsky, and other revolutionaries who have come before. 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:50.800 Our strategy emerges from the lessons of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, in which the working class seized state power and used it to transform society in its own interests and the interests of humanity. 00:02:51.280 --> 00:03:00.159 The document includes 43 references to revolution patterned after, quote, and this is their quote, the Leninist principle of revolutionary defeatism. 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.800 Now, so I thought, well, so that's the agenda of this segment of the DSA. 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.759 Okay, so how did Lenin do it? 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:09.680 How did they do it? 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.520 How did the Bolsheviks do it? 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:40.400 Well, I just did a little research by armed seizure of the government in November 1917, by the killing of the Tsar and his family on July 16, 1918, by the arrest of political opponents and suppression of opposition newspapers, by killing at least 10,000 government officials and political enemies by actions of the Cheekah, by the dispersal of the Constituent Assembly in January of 1918 after the Bolsheviks received approximately one quarter of the national vote. 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:49.280 This is the Leninist principle of revolution, as endorsed by the DSA's 2026 R and R National Convention. 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.599 Okay, now you may be thinking, it'll never happen here. 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.520 Think I'll have another beer. 00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.360 But remember, there were only 12 Nazis in the Reichstag in 1928. 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.879 They took over in 1933. 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.800 That was only 2% of the Reichstag, the German legislature. 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.000 Only 2% were Nazis in 1928. 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.639 They had control in 1933, okay? 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.159 So keep that in mind. 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:16.959 That's about the same percentage as DSAs in the U.S. 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.279 Congress coming up this season. 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.639 There were only six Bolsheviks in the Duma in 1912. 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:23.759 That's the Russia legislation. 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:24.560 That's only 1%. 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.759 That's less than the percentage of DSAs in the U.S. 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:29.199 Congress coming session. 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.519 Only 1% within five years, revolution. 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.160 The anger is simmering in this country today. 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.000 I'm sure we're all sensing it. 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.079 The divisions are more prominent. 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:47.439 The more committed nationalists are up against the even more committed international communists. 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:53.600 And there's an increasing level of epistemological self-consciousness about the respective movements on both sides. 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.639 And there is no peace in this country now. 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.720 This isn't Reagan's America anymore. 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.399 This is Bolshevik America. 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:08.079 The nation is turning more fractured, more disunified, one nation divisible, with not much liberty or justice for anybody. 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:13.040 Now, this is the feeling more like what you had in 1917 Russia. 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.759 This is the 1933 German experience. 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.000 And the heart of the nation is not good. 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.399 Remember, the Bellwether State, Missouri, just turned more pro-abortion than ever. 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:27.279 55% to 45%, 10% spread pro-abortion this season. 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.720 It's up from 3% spread on last vote just two years ago. 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:36.560 Pretty sad in terms of the percentage of Missourians that want to kill babies. 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.240 So what's the takeaway for the loyal opposition for us? 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.920 What's continually breaking down on our side? 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:44.720 What's our problem? 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.240 What's the issue here for us? 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:46.879 For us. 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:48.639 Well, let me leave you with this. 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:55.600 First of all, there's defeatism, a faithlessness, an unwillingness to stand up, as well as a lack of courage on our side. 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:08.879 In his e-alert published yesterday, Gary Bauer pointed out that the white evangelicals, a core conservative voting bloc, actually consistently make up about 25% of the electorate in presidential midterm elections. 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:14.079 Well, this year they accounted for only 17% of the electorate actually showing up. 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.879 If you do the math, it means eight to ten million Christians simply sat out the election. 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:20.959 They've lost the will to fight. 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:22.000 That's the issue here. 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:26.399 Two years ago, Protestant voters made up approximately 43% of the electorate. 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.720 Well, this year that fell to just 38%. 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:37.600 Not only did fewer Protestant Christians vote, but their support for conservative candidates fell four points between 2024 and 2026. 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.920 And you can almost never count on the Catholics. 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:40.879 Almost never. 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.920 They're the last people to be trained in biblical worldview. 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:53.199 Catholic voters' support for better candidates dropped 10 points in the last election from 59% in 2024 to 49% this year. 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.759 So a slim majority of Catholic voters actually helped put into power a party committed to abortion on demand. 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.079 Thank you, Catholic population. 00:07:02.240 -->

00:07:03.839 Thanks for all your help on that. 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.199 Parents with children under 18 in the home made up 27% of the electorate two years ago. 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:11.439 They voted for conservatives by eight points. 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:12.399 That was two years ago. 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:19.839 Well, this year, these parents with children, the people with the greatest stake in the future of the country, were just 22% of the electorate. 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:24.480 And they backed Marxist, Islamists, and pro-trans Democrats by 11 points. 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:25.759 By 11 points. 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:27.040 Ouch. 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.759 The reality is that massive numbers of Christian voters simply did not bother to vote. 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.480 That's a third fewer conservative Christian voters. 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.800 Our absence made the difference, and dozens of close races this time around. 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.920 Christian members of Congress lost their seats because Christians did not vote. 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:49.199 All right, so it's a lack of courage, I believe, that's affecting us, but also a lack of knowledge. 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.439 My people perish for lack of knowledge. 00:07:51.600 --> 00:08:00.000 There's a blindness about what's right and what's wrong, who to vote for, who not to vote for, what's good and what's evil that's going on in our society today. 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.560 There's an unwillingness to stand up and fight. 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:09.439 It's a lack of manliness, a lack of courage, a lack of zeal, a lack of good preaching in the pulpits for the cause of righteousness. 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.879 It's a capitulation to sin, to compromise, with abortion, with sexual temptation, sinful addictions among the men. 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:17.839 Among men. 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.279 We're talking about men right now. 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:21.680 Now, also, here's one more point. 00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:23.600 We need unity on our side. 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.279 If we ever win again, stop fighting your fellow Christians, guys. 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:35.440 Fellow Christians who are opposed to Marxist, feminist, lesbian, pro-abortion, promosexual, humanist, socialist, man-centered worldviews. 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.720 If you're on the side of the feminists and the Marxists, I get it. 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:39.840 That's the enemy. 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:44.159 But this constant tendency to divide on lesser things, it's not of God. 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.600 This is also the enemy in the ranks, infighting. 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.039 It's more of a demonic diversion, and we need to watch out for it. 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.440 And also, friends, we need to stop thinking about moving to Texas in Florida. 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:56.480 Not anymore. 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:57.440 We can't do this. 00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.279 Both Florida and Texas have turned blue, or they're turning blue. 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:02.080 Either way. 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:03.360 Get this. 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.279 Both Florida and Texas turned more blue by 18 points. 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:14.320 Both states turned more blue by 18 points in the midterm election. 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:15.200 Yes, that's right. 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.799 Texas turned blue by 18 points. 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.720 And Florida by 18.1 points. 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:28.080 Okay, so both states went blue by 18 points. 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.279 Texas was Republican red by 10 points four years ago. 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.279 Now it's gone Democrat by eight points. 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.559 Florida was Republican red by 19 points four years ago. 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.960 Now it's barely Republican by one point. 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.639 Texas and Florida, they've lost the will to fight. 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.080 There's no use moving there. 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.360 The right has lost the will to fight wherever they are. 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.480 But what is it that gives us the will to fight? 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.919 Where's the grounding? 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:59.279 What could possibly shove some steel into the backbone of those who fight for righteousness and liberty as God defines it? 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:10.480 Well, more of the fear of God for sure, more conviction concerning the powerful gospel of Jesus, more faith, and I'm talking about real faith and rooting and grounding in the commandments of God. 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:23.120 95% of our church sermons need to be focused on the object of our faith, that is Jesus, the challenge to faith, the fear of God, and the discipleship that we need to be discipling in the commandments of God. 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:30.960 I'm not sure what the churches are doing, but if we're not shoving rebar into the foundations and spiritual backbone of the people, I'm not sure what we're doing. 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.519 We're just teaching sentimental love ballads as part of the praise and worship. 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:36.559 What are we doing? 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.440 Are we growing the faith and courage of the people by the teaching in the churches? 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.399 All right, folks. 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:48.559 Time for a little group therapy post-election rundown with Bill Jack today in studio. 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:49.279 Right now. 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:56.799 Bill, I'm still trying to understand why the faithful, the loyal opposition was as disloyal as they were this time around. 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:03.120 Gary Bauer's numbers are pretty clear that the uh loyal opposition was far less loyal and they did not show up. 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.840 The uh the tough really did get going and they went the other way. 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.720 Uh the Catholics went the other direction.

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:15.840 So majority of Catholics went pro-abortion this time, and the evangelicals didn't show up. 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:16.559 Why? 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.320 Why, why, why? 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:29.840 Now, I I at the end of the day, I'm not sure that they understand that this is a value, that that there is something to fight for, there's something worth fighting for here. 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:44.399 And, you know, there just isn't apparently enough of the evangelical crowd that are willing to put their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor on the line for the cause of liberty for their children, their grandchildren, or anybody else. 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:46.320 I just I don't think they care. 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.279 They either don't know or they don't care, either way. 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:50.559 Not sure. 00:11:50.799 --> 00:12:00.080 I I've said this for a few years now, and that is that the church in general does not care about liberty. 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.799 It is, we just want to be left alone. 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:11.759 We want to retreat into our ghettos, we call them churches, and just leave us alone. 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:17.039 But you can do whatever you want to to Christian businessmen, you can do whatever you want to in the political arena. 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.679 We just want our religious liberty. 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:26.480 And so we really are not proclaiming liberty for all, in my opinion. 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:35.120 And so we we illustrate that because by not being serious about evangelism, number one. 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:41.600 And number two, by because I say that, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 00:12:41.840 --> 00:13:00.159 We talk about evangelism a lot in the church, generally, but we think that we have to bring people to church to get them saved, and so we're we're reluctant to engage in conversations about eternal things outside the church. 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.440 The church should equip the saints to do the ministry. 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.120 That's the purpose of the church. 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.039 As a pastor, that's what you want to do. 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:14.960 You want to equip the saints so that they go out into their sphere of influence and proclaim liberty throughout the land. 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.600 We should all be walking liberty bells. 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:18.000 Okay. 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.159 On the liberty bell is a verse from Leviticus. 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:22.480 Okay. 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.360 Proclaim liberty throughout the land. 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.519 We should be walking liberty bells. 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.159 I I I I'm serious about this. 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:35.679 The church, number one, isn't serious about liberty, number two, it's not serious about evangelism. 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:45.440 And we then expect evangelicals to vote according to biblical

principles. 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:55.440 When they are, as you said, either woefully ignorant or just rebellious against biblical principles. 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.600 Life, liberty, and property rights. 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:06.799 Those are the issues that our founding fathers understood, and they understood them from a biblical world view. 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.879 I'm guessing the average Christian pastor would say, I believe in liberty. 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:19.840 I believe that the gospel is supposed to bring us liberty, liberty from sin, that is, if the son will make you free, you will be free indeed. 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.159 And Jesus is speaking there of the ultimate slavery of sin and the devil. 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:24.960 Absolutely. 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:34.159 But they don't really bring in the implications, the 1 Corinthians 7 23 implications, of that liberty from the unnecessary servitude of men. 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:43.759 They don't seem to want to draw the conclusion that there is some value to keeping our children and grandchildren out of gulags and prison camps. 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:44.159 Right. 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.279 I just don't think they see that to be a value. 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:56.960 Um, they may see something of a value of keeping themselves out of prison for teaching the word or gathering the saints on a Sunday, as you said. 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.440 There may be something of a value there. 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.799 But but because they just don't want to go to jail. 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:23.919 You know, I'd say the average pastor doesn't want to go to jail, but does he really care about fighting for liberty for their children and grandchildren in the years to come, given that we see this onslaught of socialist, Marxist, communist influence in our governments today? 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.720 No, I and they don't see Marxism as a worldview. 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.919 It is a complete religion in itself. 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:36.320 It has all the aspects of a worldview, it answers all the basic worldview questions. 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.480 They don't realize that we are at war. 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:42.240 It's a war of ideas, and ideas do have consequences. 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.320 Good ideas, excellent consequences. 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.559 Bad ideas, victims. 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:52.320 And so again, we don't believe really in liberty for all. 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.240 It's liberty for us, but but just leave us alone. 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:56.559 Okay? 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:09.600 We're not willing to risk ridicule, persecution, imprisonment, ostr being ostracized by to proclaim liberty. 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:12.240 We we want to be liked by people. 00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:26.940 And of course, politics is a gigantic battle. 00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:33.900 It's I don't know as if there's any area except maybe the church in which there's so much spiritual warfare going on. 00:18:34.059 --> 00:18:40.299 Uh but here's one more thing, and I think it is that liberty must be defined by God's law. 00:18:40.539 --> 00:18:51.900 In other words, we will enjoy the most liberty when we are set free from sin and when our institutions are set free from sinful tendencies. 00:18:52.059 --> 00:18:52.220 Right. 00:18:52.460 --> 00:19:02.059 And our governments no longer engage in violations of God's law, but actually legislate that which concords with godliness and righteousness. 00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:16.379 So, but again, I don't think that the average antinomian evangelical pastor believes in God's law or believes that God's law is the best standard by which to hold governments to account. 00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:20.220 They they certainly do not believe that God's law is the standard for liberty. 00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:21.900 And what Jesus actually does say that. 00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:26.299 He says the ultimate slavery is slavery to sin, but what is sin? 00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:30.059 But any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God. 00:19:30.220 --> 00:19:34.779 John defines it that way that sin is the transgression of the law, sin is anomia. 00:19:35.339 --> 00:19:41.900 So I think the average pastor, the average church in America needs to come to grips with what the gospel is. 00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:48.059 The gospel is such that we are set free from the transgressions of God's laws. 00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:51.740 So we don't have to be breaking God's laws all the time. 00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:56.379 Jesus came to save us from our sin, which is the transgression of the laws of God. 00:19:56.619 --> 00:20:00.220 Therefore, you know, we want to vote according to righteousness. 00:20:00.379 --> 00:20:04.379 We don't want to be voting for people who break God's law and transgress God's laws all the time. 00:20:04.539 --> 00:20:12.299 We don't want to be involved in influencing institutions such that these institutions are more likely to break God's law. 00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:26.059 We would rather influence institutions, whether it be our own business or whether it be our politics or whatever aspect of life it is, such that all of our institutions with which we have some contact would come into conformity to the laws of God. 00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:29.500 I mean, this is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness. 00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:42.379 And of course, the idea of separating out my own individual experience, where I'm just really careful not to commit adultery, I'm careful not to lie to my wife, I'm careful to maybe love my wife as Christ loved the church, that's individual. 00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:45.019 Um, of course, it does involve another person. 00:20:45.099 --> 00:20:46.700 I think we'd point that out. 00:20:46.940 --> 00:21:00.220 But the idea that we are to take standards of righteousness and apply it not just to my own personal life, but to any kind of

interaction with any other human institution with which I have to do. 00:21:00.379 --> 00:21:01.819 And I think that's the breakdown. 00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:12.940 They can't think that somehow I need to take the standards of God's laws and use that as my standard with whatever institution I'm working with. 00:21:13.099 --> 00:21:17.740 In other words, when I walk into the corporate world, I'm gonna have to subscribe to God's laws. 00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:21.900 I'm not gonna be lying to people, I'm not gonna be cheating people, I'm not gonna be stealing from people. 00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:28.220 I'm actually gonna be imposing these values upon these businesses with which I'm having some commerce. 00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:30.220 Well, the same thing with the political state. 00:21:30.379 --> 00:21:31.099 Yeah, absolutely. 00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:42.059 I'm gonna take God's laws, and as best as I can, uh as much as I have influence, I'm gonna impose God's laws, God's standard of righteousness upon these institutions. 00:21:42.619 --> 00:21:51.259 And the charge that is gonna be leveled against you is well, you're just you're wanting to impose a Christian religion on the country. 00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:57.579 Well, yeah, it's Marxism because you want to impose a Marxist religion on this country. 00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:02.859 You want to impose an atheistic religion on the you want to pose an Islamic religion on this country. 00:22:03.099 --> 00:22:05.579 And that it's a war of ideas. 00:22:05.900 --> 00:22:06.299 Absolutely. 00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:17.579 And it we have been lax, we have cowered in the corner because we don't want to be accused of being you know imposing values on the culture. 00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:18.779 Somebody will. 00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:22.859 Now, Bill, in my opening comments, I referred to the Reichstag and the Duma. 00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:32.619 These were the legislatures of Russia in 1912, and the Reichstag is the legislature of Germany in 1927-ish. 00:22:33.660 --> 00:22:35.259 Wow, five years. 00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:46.379 Within five years, they go from one to two percent influence in Russia and Germany to their revolutions, which brought about untold horrors upon the world. 00:22:46.700 --> 00:22:51.819 Now, I'm not sure that the average evangelical understands this, that we could be within five years. 00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:58.140 I mean, we're looking at the DSA having only 2% control in our Congress. 00:22:58.379 --> 00:23:06.619 Well, that's precisely what the Bolsheviks and the Nazi Party had five years before they took over in those respective nations. 00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:07.019 Yes. 00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:26.940 It seems to me that somebody needs to wake up to this and realize we're five years away from the president getting shot, or the Congress people getting hauled off by the tens of thousands or by the thousands and uh and executed at the hands of some violent aspects of this revolution. 00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:30.220 I'm just not sure that people have read these websites. 00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:35.259 I mean, I went to the DSA website, I read their reports, I quoted it on my intro comments. 00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:36.700 Has anybody heard these things? 00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:38.299 Has anybody read these things? 00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:42.539 Are we this close to a violent revolution in this country? 00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:45.660 Of course, I think the average person is saying, it'll never happen here. 00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:46.859 Think I'll have another beer. 00:23:47.420 --> 00:23:55.579 Those are the words that you want to uh that should send a chill up and down your spine when you hear those words from somebody else, because it doesn't take much. 00:23:55.819 --> 00:24:08.859 In this state in Colorado, two years ago, it was twelve or thirteen percent of the elected Democrat representatives and senators were self proclaimed Marxists. 00:24:09.099 --> 00:24:10.539 DSA's DSAs. 00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:17.900 If you accuse them of being a Marxist, they would not flinch, they wouldn't be offended, they would agree. 00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:21.660 That's twelve to thirteen percent. 00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:23.339 That was just a few years ago. 00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:23.579 Yeah. 00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:24.700 Just two years ago. 00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:25.819 It's on an increase. 00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:26.220 Now you know. 00:24:26.619 --> 00:24:27.019 Exactly. 00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:39.660 After after the last round of elections, we just we've seen more and more and more of a radical Marxist agenda being promoted by candidates who were elected. 00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:41.339 Now we don't want to scare anybody. 00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:42.379 Yes, we do. 00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:43.259 Or do we? 00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.379 Yes, we do. 00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:45.099 We do. 00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:47.579 We we want to scare them off the bench. 00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:50.460 Maybe a little fear of God would be good first and foremost. 00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:50.859 Yeah. 00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:57.980 And then a a little bit of dose of reality of what can happen when good people do nothing in the area of politics. 00:24:58.140 --> 00:25:01.900 Who is it that says the only way for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing? 00:25:02.140 --> 00:25:02.859 Edmund Burke. 00:25:03.099 --> 00:25:03.339 Burke. 00:25:03.500 --> 00:25:03.579 Right. 00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:04.940 It's accredited to him. 00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:05.579 I'm not sure he said. 00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:07.019 Is that where we are today? 00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:07.980 Yes. 00:25:08.379 --> 00:25:49.420 You and I we we went to South Africa, and uh what impressed me was that uh everywhere we went there was high security because the ANC, the Marxists, had taken over about two and a half decades ago, and as a result, there was there was chaos, I'm sure, immediately after that, but there's still rippling

effects to the point where where entire communities are surrounded by a wall with electrified fence on top, security gates that are manned, not just you know obligatory, as you see in some high-end neighborhoods, but everywhere. 00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:52.619 And security was extremely high. 00:25:53.019 --> 00:25:55.019 And people thought this was normal. 00:25:55.259 --> 00:26:03.900 What in the last home we stayed in, I stayed in, uh, halfway down the hallway, you walked in, there was a kitchen, living room, and a hallway. 00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:13.180 Halfway down the hallway, there was a security gate, as you would find on the outside of a house in a risky neighborhood here in the States. 00:26:13.339 --> 00:26:14.859 And I and I said, What is this? 00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:26.299 And they said, Well, as they were building out the neighborhood, as people would move into completed homes, construction workers would hide after their shift. 00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:33.099 They wouldn't leave the compound, and then they would come in and, as my host said, do what they do. 00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:36.940 They would rape and pillage and murder. 00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:42.140 And this was a a safe room inside their home. 00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:47.500 And most South Africans viewed this as a normal way of living. 00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:58.220 I looked at that and and I I I thought, we're we're we here in the United States are maybe 20 years down the road from being there. 00:26:58.539 --> 00:27:04.379 And after this recent round of elections, I'm gonna have to say I'm being optimistic. 00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:09.660 Because there is a tipping point, and that's what you're referring to. 00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:19.420 There's this tipping point where there's no turning back, and it doesn't take 51% in any organization. 00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:35.420 The old saw is in any organization, religious, political, civic organization, it can be a plumbers union, it can be a homeschool organization, one percent of the uh people involved lead. 00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:41.660 Four percent do the work of the leadership, the other 95% don't follow. 00:27:42.460 --> 00:27:44.299 Marxists understand this. 00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:46.700 Christians should understand this. 00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:52.140 Jesus started with 12 guys, lost one of them, and he turned the world right side up. 00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:56.619 We do not have to have a majority. 00:27:57.740 --> 00:28:07.019 It didn't take it, you know, a majority of the founding fathers of the population to create liberty. 00:28:07.259 --> 00:28:11.660 It took a few committed people who understood biblical principles. 00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:23.500 It hasn't taken a majority of people to turn this country away from liberty and towards tyranny, the tyranny of Marxism, the tyranny of Islam. 00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:27.339 It's just a handful of people who are committed to the cause. 00:28:28.460 --> 00:29:03.579 Christians wake up and get out there and proclaim truth and grace, proclaim liberty, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, and you will see a rippling effect in every aspect of culture, economically, from entertainment, politically, to philosophy, literature, art, music, all of that will be salted and lighted if we take liberty seriously in the church, in the pulpit, in the pew, in the Sunday school class, in our families. 00:29:04.299 --> 00:29:18.460 Well it's interesting, my calculation as to how many serious Christians there were in Germany in 1927 or in Russia in 1913, uh, my calculation was that it was under 1%. 00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:21.660 That is those that were serious Christians. 00:29:21.900 --> 00:29:51.500 And so I still believe that if we could get to 1, 2, 3 percent of serious Christians in any of our cities, in any of our states, and I know that's a pretty low number, but if we could get to 1 to 2 to 3%, who were fairly well taught and discipled in the commandments of God, in the word of God, in the gospel of Jesus Christ, the commandments of God, and they would be salt and they would be light, if they would go get more saltiness, because there's not enough saltiness in the salt these days. 00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:55.819 So if we could resultify the salt, this to me is the agenda. 00:29:55.980 --> 00:30:13.579 We resultify the salt, we pull out 1, 2, 3% of the Christians who are pretty much discipled, well discipled in the laws of God, commandments of God, and the gospel of Jesus Christ, we would begin to make an impact upon any given neighborhood, city, or state. 00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:16.140 So uh my point I'm making, Strong, my book Strong. 00:30:16.299 --> 00:30:23.579 It's just a short little book uh on how in the world we're gonna come back from the broken state we find Christianity in today. 00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:25.579 It's my book Strong, recommended to you. 00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:30.460 Also, if you really want to know our agenda for the civil magistrate, the book is under God. 00:30:30.940 --> 00:30:40.059 Available at generations.org, this is Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack inviting you back again next time as we continue to lay down a vision for the next generation. 00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:53.099 This has been a production of the Generations Media Network. 00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:56.460 For more information, go to generations.org/media.
