WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.740 President Trump had a whole schedule of events, and typically, as the tradition is, you end 00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:09.060 at the National Cathedral with a National Prayer Service. 00:00:09.860 --> 00:00:15.420 It's usually, okay, thank you, pray for the President, pray for the vulnerable, pray for 00:00:15.420 --> 00:00:17.100 peace, fine, no problem. 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:25.360 So the President goes to this National Prayer Service, and this unhinged lunatic, who's 00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:32.940 is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.500 She's the first woman to hold the position. 00:00:36.940 --> 00:00:39.020 Now my take on this is a little bit different. 00:00:40.220 --> 00:00:42.740 Some people say, how on earth was she allowed to speak? 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.800 Of course, that's a good take, that's a fine take. 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.120 I'm actually glad she did this. 00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:49.960 It shows the bitterness, 00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:51.500 the 00:00:53.390 --> 00:00:56.310 improper behavior, the violating of customs, 00:00:56.530 --> 00:00:58.370 of what the American left has actually become. 00:00:58.830 --> 00:01:00.330 The sloppy theology. 00:01:02.550 --> 00:01:04.650 Let's get to, let's just play right here. 00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:09.370 Which is the best one, 84? 00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:12.210 This is, I actually have not listened to it yet. 00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:12.650 Did you know that? 00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:14.850 I was just, I was so busy yesterday, I was looking at. 00:01:15.370 --> 00:01:21.650 Just the transcription. This is cut 84. It's a minute tape national prayer service. President Trump is there 00:01:21.650 --> 00:01:25.430 Won a great election popular vote and he has to go get 00:01:25.976 --> 00:01:27.890 scolded this woman is 00:01:27.890 --> 00:01:30.110 scolding the president of the United States 00:01:30.816 --> 00:01:32.816 play cut 84 I 00:01:33.490 --> 00:01:34.050 Asked you 00:01:34.970 --> 00:01:38.670 To have mercy upon the people in our country 00:01:39.410 --> 00:01:40.710 We're scared now 00:01:42.570 --> 00:01:46.890 There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in 00:01:47.850 --> 00:01:50.970 Democratic, Republican, and independent families. 00:01:52.650 --> 00:01:54.730 Some who fear for their lives. 00:01:56.590 --> 00:02:05.350 And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, 00:02:05.610 --> 00:02:11.130 who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.800 They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:21.260 are not criminals. 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.120 They pay taxes and are good neighbors. 00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:33.940 They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, woodara, and temples. 00:02:40.170 --> 00:02:45.090 Calvin Robinson, priest and broadcaster and great friend. Calvin, welcome to the program. 00:02:46.030 --> 00:02:50.330 First of all, I'm so glad that we won. I want to get your reaction on that, but what is 00:02:50.330 --> 00:02:51.650 your reaction to this woman? 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.040 I share your take, actually, in that it's good that this was exposed, because we've 00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:03.400 just had 48 hours of jubilant celebration, and I'm still euphoric, and I know everyone 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.020 I bump into this street, you know, everyone's wearing MAGA hats and scarves, and everyone's 00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:11.320 kind of having a great time, but it's good to be reminded of why we had to fight and 00:03:11.320 --> 00:03:15.600 why it was important that we won, because of people like this. And in that sermon, right, 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.560 best opportunity she'll ever have in her life to put forward the gospel to many people who will 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.980 never hear it in their lives. This is the national theater. All eyes are on her in this moment. 00:03:28.660 --> 00:03:33.800 Now as a Christian she could stand there and say, Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. He died on 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:39.720 the cross for our sins. He offers every single one of us salvation. All we have to do is repent of 00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:43.470 come to church, this place is open for you. 00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:44.670 You are welcome here. 00:03:44.970 --> 00:03:45.770 She could have said that. 00:03:45.950 --> 00:03:47.130 She could have proclaimed the gospel. 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.840 Instead, she chose to lecture Donald Trump on her leftist, radicalist, extremist politics, 00:03:53.160 --> 00:03:56.500 which just goes to show the mess that the church is in at the moment. 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.120 But what's interesting is, what did she say at the pulpit? 00:03:59.660 --> 00:04:02.360 Oh, we need these immigrants for our menial labor. 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:03.820 You know, who's going to clean my dishes? 00:04:04.100 --> 00:04:05.160 Who's going to make my coffee? 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:06.280 We need these people. 00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:09.620 We need these servants, essentially, is what she's saying. 00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:14.480 And of course, as you're aware, she's doing the whole thing of conflating illegal immigration. 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.200 with legal immigration saying not all immigrants are criminals, lots of them pay taxes. Yes, 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:24.260 the legal immigrants pay taxes because they can work. Illegal immigrants do not pay taxes 00:04:24.260 --> 00:04:27.840 because they work illegally. Therefore, they are criminals because they're here breaking 00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:32.140 the law illegally. She knows this. She's a smart woman, but she's conflating on purpose 00:04:32.140 --> 00:04:38.100 to make it look like Donald Trump is anti-immigration. Now, as someone who is not a US citizen that 00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:42.280 is living and working in America, I'm thankful that there are some legal entries for people 00:04:43.580 --> 00:04:46.740 that there should not be people coming in illegally breaking the law. 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.620 Nobody should be breaking the law. 00:04:48.700 --> 00:04:49.460 That should always be punishable. 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:50.180 That should always be a crime. 00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:53.940 But then she's also breaking the church law. 00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:58.260 by being in the pulpit in the first place, Charlie, you know, the scriptures are very clear on this, 00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:02.640 that women cannot become bishops. A bishop should be a husband of one wife, it says. 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.420 It goes as far as saying a woman should be silent in church, and some people with modern 00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:11.040 ears will cringe at that, but this is what the scriptures teach us. If we followed the 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.020 scriptures, we wouldn't be in the mess that we're in right now. 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:21.020 Boy, is that right? I think you're, I think you're 100% correct, by the way. Um, so Calvin, 00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:26.140 let's just take a step back. You and I spent great time at the TPU SA Faith Believer Summit 00:05:26.728 --> 00:05:33.820 last, this last summer. You, you were so morally clear on the existential terms of President 00:05:33.820 --> 00:05:40.240 Trump's election, and you basically said it would be the suffocation of Western civilization. 00:05:42.380 --> 00:05:48.800 This does not if President Trump is not successful. We have won. We've taken power. What is the significance of this? 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.320 The West has been saved, and that's not hyperbolic at all, Christendom has been saved. 00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:55.820 This was it. 00:05:55.900 --> 00:05:57.100 We were at a crossroads. 00:05:57.640 --> 00:06:02.040 America had a choice, whether they go down the same path as the rest of the West. 00:06:02.380 --> 00:06:06.820 I'm talking about my homeland, Great Britain, and much of Western Europe, where it's diversity, 00:06:06.820 --> 00:06:09.380 inclusion, and equality are the new idols. 00:06:09.880 --> 00:06:13.720 Everyone worships multiculturalism at the extent of the culture of the homeland. 00:06:13.960 --> 00:06:16.420 The predominant culture gets degenerated to nothing. 00:06:20.020 --> 00:06:23.580 Americans could have chose something different, could have chosen a return to common sense. 00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:28.360 And I said at one of his rallies that, look, this is about... 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.180 Not voting for the perfect politician, no politician is perfect, they're all people, 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:38.000 but this is about voting against the evil of the Democrats who wanted liberalization of abortion. 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.320 Let's just kill babies en masse. They didn't believe in free speech. I remember Tim Waltz saying, 00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:46.620 well, free speech isn't always free speech. Very, very dangerous words in a country where 00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:51.360 his constitution is founded on the principle of free speech. And so the idea wasn't to vote for 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.060 the perfect man, Donald Trump, he's not the perfect man. The idea was to vote against the 00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:02.100 was on the ballot. And thank God the Americans voted the right way. And you know why I think 00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:07.080 this country is saved? And why I think the West may be saved because of prayer. And that 00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:12.080 it all comes down to that miracle where Donald Trump's life was saved. And I'm not saying 00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:16.700 he is mojted. I'm not saying he has any special ability. I'm saying his life was saved for 00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:20.340 a purpose. And I believe that it's to save this country and potentially to save the rest 00:07:20.340 --> 00:07:21.060 of Christendom. 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.120 as a result of that miracle that millions of people around the world saw, 00:07:25.420 --> 00:07:29.240 Americans were praying again, praying more than they have been for a long, long time. 00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:34.080 And as a result of their prayer, God has saved this nation in a way that he hasn't others. He has 00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:38.400 my homeland, the United Kingdom, I believe he's handed over to our desires because we've stopped 00:07:38.400 --> 00:07:46.260 praying. What a beautiful statement that is, Calvin. One minute remaining, you've been worrying, 00:07:53.440 --> 00:08:00.160 What does this victory mean for the preservation of the society that you and I love against 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:00.780 such forces? 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.920 45 seconds, then we'll take it up after the break. 00:08:04.350 --> 00:08:09.590 Everything that we know to be true, beautiful, and good is so because it's found that in Christian values, 00:08:09.770 --> 00:08:13.870 including the United States of America, people can say separation of church and state, talk all that fluff while they want, 00:08:14.110 --> 00:08:17.370 we know that these lands were founded by Christians with Christian ideas, 00:08:17.890 --> 00:08:23.030 and that means we can welcome people of other faiths and none, that means we can have diversity if we want to, 00:08:23.210 --> 00:08:26.150 but it means that we must hold to what we know to be true, beautiful, and good. 00:08:26.490 --> 00:08:30.130 And there are people from other parts of the world who have different ideologies that are... 00:08:30.430 --> 00:08:34.450 counter or contradictory to ours, and would destroy us, would destroy our way of life. 00:08:34.670 --> 00:08:37.130 And we have to fight with everything that we can against that. 00:08:37.490 --> 00:08:41.390 The Habanan culture is a great example, throwing people off rooms because they are same-sex 00:08:41.390 --> 00:08:44.830 attracted, not allowing women to leave their house unless they're accompanied by a man 00:08:44.830 --> 00:08:49.650 wearing a, you know, a post-letterbox, uh, Nikko, it's against our fundamental beliefs 00:08:49.650 --> 00:08:51.870 of liberty and faith and family. 00:08:52.110 --> 00:08:55.870 And we as Christians have to uphold those values whilst allowing other people to find 00:08:55.870 --> 00:08:56.270 them too. 00:08:56.550 --> 00:08:59.670 The beauty of the Christian faith is that we have free will and we need to show... 00:08:59.670 --> 00:09:03.410 people where Jesus is, so they can choose him. We don't force amen like they do.
