>> Walker Wildmon: welcome to the core here on american family radio glad to have you with us on the program a brand new edition this week as we celebrate july fourth and the really the entire month of july and our two hundred fiftieth birthday as a nation coming after the weekend of july fourth and all of the celebrations and hopefully the level of patriotism that will sustain itself for the entire year celebrating our two hundred fiftieth anniversary as a nation so we'll talk about that some we will highlight some of the festivities and the speeches by the president of the united states along with some other topics as well for this edition of the corps just a brief reminder this show's brought to you by american family radio i'm walker wildman i'm your host rick green and myself we host the show each week here on american family radio during the one to two o' clock hour central and we're glad to have you with us the podcast is available at afr dot net and wherever you listen to podcast afr dot net and wherever you listen to podcasts all right well turning our attention to the scripture we're in acts chapter eleven this week here the author luke in the book of acts writes in verse let's see verse sixteen then i remember the word of the lord how he said john indeed baptized with water but you shall be baptized with the holy spirit and so the new testament and pentecost brings us the introduction of the holy spirit living and dwelling within every believer now we know from the scripture and from both the old testament and the new testament writings that the trinity the three in one father son and holy spirit has always existed from the teachings in scripture but as far as the holy spirit living and dwelling inside believers and followers of christ that's obviously a new testament concept and truth and so each of us that believes in god that believes in jesus for salvation the scripture teaches that we each have the holy spirit the spirit of god dwelling inside of us that's what empowers us to live righteously to live godly lives it's not done in our flesh but it's by the power and the work of the holy spirit within us that we are able to live lives obedient to the calling that god has given us that's acts chapter eleven looking at verse sixteen where the writer here is talking about the holy spirit being given to each and every believer well through the month of july i'm going through stephen mcdowell's book examining the evidence of christian foundation in america examining the evidence of the christian foundation of america and it's a very short booklet i've been going through it i went through it last week to kind of tee off the july fourth celebrations but i'm going to continue reading excerpts from this book it's a very good book if you're watching on facebook or on x or any of our social media platforms you can see this here ignore the ted cruz signature i got this if you're watching i got this this signature by senator cruz when he was running for president a long time ago and put it over the top of this booklet so disregard that nonetheless did you know that in a senate report in eighteen fifty three here's what the us senate adopted as a resolution or a report in eighteen fifty three the us senate stated in the affirmative we are a christian people from the fact that almost our entire population belong to or sympathize with some of the christian denominations which compose the christian world that was the us senate quote we are a christian people from the fact that almost our entire population belong to or sympathize with some of the christian denominations which compose the christian world that was a us senate report in eighteen fifty three a couple other excerpts from this phenomenal book here as we try to restore a sense of patriotism and true history in our country samuel adams yes the samuel adams father of the american revolution signer of the declaration he stated in his will his living will and testament or last will and testament rather he said i rely upon the merits of jesus christ for a pardon of all my sins charles carroll he was a signer these are once again little known signers of the declaration charles carroll wrote quote on the mercy of my redeemer i rely for salvation and on his merits not on the works that i have done in obedience to his precepts that was charles carroll lastly for today benjamin rush another signer of the declaration said my only hope of salvation is in the infinite transcendent love of god manifested to the world by the death of his son upon the cross nothing but his blood will wash away my sins i rely exclusively upon it come lord jesus come quickly that was benjamin rush so i can throw these quotes around all day every day and i try to highlight them this level of truth and history on the program as much as i can but the moral of the story is folks any notion that america is not a christian nation and that our founding fathers were not concerned about the propagation of the gospel of jesus christ and the teachings of the bible and folks eternal salvation this notion that they were secular they were purely businessmen you know all they wanted to do is protect their own interest no no no no no now the evidence for a christian america the evidence that the bible formed the very government that we have and the way that we operate is just abundant the evidence is abundant it's plentiful and that's what i hope to bring forth on the program as we celebrate our two hundred fiftieth birthday throughout the month of july very compelling writings from our very founding fathers and these aren't look these aren't quotes from a few pastors during the founding era these were signers these were the men leading the war for independence they were godly men they weren't perfect men but they knew the scripture and many of them were born again believers and so america would not be where we are today would not exist without god and the bible in our history well let's jump in to some of the clips we want to get to this segment and the rest of the show president trump gave a late but very compelling speech on july fourth also he traveled the day before to mount rushmore and then the day before that he was at the i get theodore and teddy mixed up he was at the roosevelt library opening i think it was teddy but i'll verify that fact before i keep talking about it but nonetheless president trump traveled there the opening of the roosevelt library then he also traveled to mount rushmore the following day gave a very good speech at mount rushmore very powerful speech and then ended it ended his july fourth marathon if you will on the national mall with hundreds of thousands of people patriots celebrating the july fourth holiday with one of the largest if not the largest firework display definitively in us history is teddy roosevelt yeah so teddy roosevelt the library the roosevelt library honoring president teddy roosevelt was opened just recently and so president trump traveled there gave a speech and toured the brand new library honoring teddy roosevelt but let's jump right into this this is the opening part of president trump's speech on july fourth honoring america this is going to be clip one
>> Donald Trump: it all started with the miracle of history that lives forever in the heart of every single patriot in philadelphia our founding father summoned the courage of giants and the wisdom of centuries to boldly proclaim these timeless truths they declared that all men are created equal that they are endowed with sacred unalienable rights by the hand of our creator and that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness in signing their names to the roster of freedom those fifty six patriots put everything at risk stepped onto the stage of destiny and seized a victory for the ages well there
>> Walker Wildmon: you have it that's part of president trump's opening speech there on the national mall july fourth the evening of july fourth and folks when you when you take a look a step back and you set some of the democrat republican a lot of the politics aside we can be a very unified nation and when you compare the things that president trump has been trying to do through his first term and through now regardless of the personality and the things that you oh i don't like this and i do like this let's just zoom out a little bit and from a context of america two hundred and fifty the principles the ideas the concepts the priorities that the president of the united states is trying to bring about in this country they are traditionally very unifying things and what this two hundred fiftieth celebration has really caused me to have clarity on is how far apart the two americas are and don't get me wrong i'm proud of america i think we are experiencing a season of increased patriotism increased understanding of american history so i'm very optimistic about the country but when you look at the things that the president and the republican party are trying to do for the country it's very difficult understanding america's true history to see the problem in these things and we can debate should the tax rate be seven or six percent or should it be zero we can debate should the fourteenth amendment have been written more clarifying to exclude illegal immigrants for example which i think it should have been more expounded on we know what the context was it was about slavery so we can have some of these debates and is this supreme court ruling good or bad whatever but folks what we have here is we have an entire ideology that is bent on the destruction of the west and we've got these outright socialist and avowed communists running for public office in the homeland this is the foreign ideology that washington and others wrote about and warned about they even said look hey if this nation's going to fall it's not going to fall i'm paraphrasing here it's not going to fall by military force you're not going to have a vast enemy you know traversing either side the atlantic or the pacific you know and coming upon our shores to take us down by arms you're going to have an ideology an idea that invades the homeland and begins taking it over in such subtle ways and that's where we are right now not the first time america has experienced this you know choice between two ideologies one right one wrong one evil one good but the one thing that the american people can't claim is that they just don't know where the parties stand we just don't know where the ideologies stand folks this is a very clear picture on which direction we want this country to continue towards evil towards suppression or towards right we'll see
>> : america's two hundred fiftieth birthday it's a great excuse to have some extra cake and ice cream but we can help your celebration go well beyond that show your patriotism with america two hundred and fifty apparel that will become a memento of this special year we also have special episodes on afa stream to help underscore that america is a christian nation and help you find god in the constitution find all of this and more in one place afa dot net topics two hundred

>> Donald Trump: the beginning we were a nation that lived by the motto victory or death and live free or die one out of every one hundred americans gave their lives in the fight for independence to remind us of who these heroes were and what they gave us we are honored to have here tonight in the heart of our nation's capital one of the very first american flags ever to exist dating back to seventeen seventy seven it bears the thirteen stars and thirteen stripes of the thirteen states that declared independence on the fourth of july there it is this was the flag that flew victorious at saratoga and these are the real deals too these are the real the real flags these are flags that have seen a lot these were the stars and stripes that flew triumphant when the british waved the white flag of surrender at yorktown that was a big surrender nobody thought that was possible they were the greatest power of the world and they surrendered and that was the beginning ever since the entire world has been on notice that americans will never let anyone take our freedom
>> Walker Wildmon: away won't happen well there you have it that's president trump giving tribute to this this flag that was at the battle of yorktown folks this is just phenomenal stuff i mean i've been to yorktown on multiple occasions been to the side of the battle of yorktown heard the story from stephen mcdowell president trump brought these flags up on the stage multiple flags by the way that are from the revolutionary era and this is just very moving stuff very moving tribute to our country to our history to our founders and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice president trump also during his speech i didn't bring in the clip here but he honored gave tribute to multiple world war two veterans that were there and there's these pictures of them these veterans actually at the world war two memorial their very own memorial watching the firework display listening to president trump's speech it's a very proud time to be in america and the last clip i'll play here and then i do have some some some thoughts and some commentary generally on this weekend and this time in american history let's play this clip this is president trump talking about how we're all created in the image of god the one true god clip three across
>> Donald Trump: the generations americans have fought bled and died not just to secure those rights but to expand them to citizens of every race religion color and creed because we are one people we are one family you showed that tonight with one flag and as our declaration of independence tells us we are all made in the image of one almighty god
>> Walker Wildmon: one almighty god not multiple gods not little g gods but one almighty god the god of our founders the god that authored and oversaw and was providential in america's history stephen miller put out a post and in essence said he believes it's providential that president trump and his administration is in charge of the country during america's two hundred fiftieth and i wholeheartedly agree look we could have anyone throughout history as president during this time i think had the twenty twenty four election gone a different way and you had someone like and folks don't start throwing stuff at the radio or at your phone but had you had vice president kamala harris win the election in twenty twenty four i'm not saying it would be the end of the world it would be apocalyptic we would never recover from it i don't think i have to give that type of assessment to get your attention here or be overly bombastic and say things that aren't really true but let me just tell you to use you know the new cool modern and hip term the vibes just wouldn't be the same alright the vibes just wouldn't be the same i mean we weren't even celebrating america's two hundred fiftieth and when president biden was in the oval office doing whatever he was doing using the auto pin and stumbling around and not knowing where he was and he basically had the marxists in charge his staff was run by a bunch of marxists that was a very repressive shameful period of american history thankfully a brief four year period and president obama's days were very sad very unfortunate and this level of lack of patriotism and this permanent victimhood that is put before us by the democrat party on a daily basis if we had somebody like kamala harris as president during this period folks it just wouldn't be the same i'm not saying we wouldn't celebrate i'm not saying there wouldn't be fireworks in dc but let me just tell you the speech the tone the vibe the mood in america would be a whole lot different and not in a good way and so i'm thankful that president trump with all of his faults that he's the commander in chief right now because we need a restoration of patriotism we need a rest restoration of courage and as i mentioned earlier in the show when you look at the fundamental priorities that this administration has i have a hard time disagreeing with any of them i actually have a hard time disagreeing with any of them from restoring the economy lowering inflation sending our enemies overseas running keeping our enemies at bay restoring our dominance in this hemisphere that is venezuela rebuilding the military showing communist china and russia and others that nobody can hang with our military and we flex and we do that through venezuela through iran and through other operations from this focus on reliving and retelling the stories of american history to rebuilding the american family through the various priorities ensuring religious freedom is alive and well and flourishing in america having a department of justice that is actually focused on enforcing the laws of the land doing mass deportations by the way just last week one of the best deportation weeks in this president's term i think we had over ten thousand deportations like in a day and so president trump is focused he's moving things in the right direction and i'll even have to say oil this is a little bit of an anecdote but where energy prices are going and where inflation is about to go i didn't see it coming i did not see how on earth can the president get out of this iran thing which we'll talk about and get energy prices down in the dollar sixty a barrel in a matter of weeks this is i can't even put my mind around it i cannot put my mind around it but that's what's happening and so to to to take a little bit of a of a of a diversion america two hundred fiftieth president trump's speech amazing job by the administration telling the true story of america's history look secretary rubio and i encourage all of you to go out there and look this stuff up we'll try to link to it secretary rubio's video maybe i'll bring it on wednesday if i remember secretary rubio put out a two minute clip recapping america's war for independence boy this is powerful it's powerful stuff and so all of this to say that number one i'm proud to be american number two kudos to president trump and every single cabinet secretary and administration official that has played a part in properly commemorating and reminding americans about our true history and so i'm thankful for that on this on this other note this more political you know midterm season note if i'm president trump i'm using july fourth as a complete reset look let's be honest the republican base republican voters and voters more broadly have been utterly divided on this iran conflict and maybe not as divided as some would like us to believe president trump was still running probably a fifty to sixty percent approval rating on his handling of the iran conflict so i'm not talking you know that you've got sixty percent of the country that disagrees with the president on this iran situation but i'm just telling you it was it was causing some dissension but
>> Walker Wildmon: if i'm the administration and if i'm president trump and this may be where he's going i'm using this two fiftieth as a complete reset because i don't know about you but over the last week or two people aren't talking about the iran thing we've got the memorandum of understanding in place sixty days the option for an extension over the last several days the strait of hormuz is wide open traffic is normalizing oil the price of oil and the market prices are dropping like a rock and so if i'm president trump here's my position from a political standpoint and this is how you go into november midterms on a very good footing by the way is you continue we don't need a grand deal with iran we don't need a we don't need a ten year forever commitment with iran you just keep the memorandum of understanding going and this mou says hey guys you mind your own business and by the way don't mess with the nukes and the strait of hormuz is open and we're going to try to act like things are normal here and that's actually what's happening now once again this could fall apart in a day this could fall apart in an hour who knows president trump just said today you know if i need to crush iran and in their country i can if i need to we'll see but if i'm president trump i'm continuing the memorandum of understanding i'm not talking about the iran thing with the media very often if you want to say something once a week to calm the markets that's fine but we don't need the administration doesn't need to answer questions and constantly post about the iran thing let's just move on we've crushed their ballistic missile program we've crushed their factories they don't have a navy anymore all of these things are legitimately true iran is in shambles their nuclear dust is literally buried in the mountains and nobody can get to it so i don't think many of talk about iran anymore if i'm the white house if i'm the administration if i'm republicans in congress i'm not talking about the iran thing anymore we did what we needed to do we set them back a decade we completely destroyed their military they don't have a plane to fly their air force doesn't exist and so that's my accomplishment i sent a message to iran and the rest of the world don't mess with the us don't build nukes and so we're focused on the economy we're getting oil below sixty bucks a barrel we're going to drive down inflation we're going to get the fed to lower rates and we're going to restore the american dream that's my message if i'm the president over the next few months we'll be back in a few right now the voices in our culture are loud but truth is often silent and today preborns need you to help speak that truth women facing unplanned pregnancies are often pressured to act quickly before they have time to pause breathe or hear the truth about life dignity and hope but i refuse to be silent and i'm asking you to join me at preborn network clinics a woman is welcomed with compassion and given a free ultrasound she sees the life growing inside her often for the very first time and in that sacred moment fear gives way to clarity and she's offered something abortion industry will never provide the hope of jesus christ this april our goal is to have eleven thousand gospel conversations in preborn network clinics trusting god to bring the increase as we remain faithful to speak you can help make that possible by sponsoring ultrasounds just dollar twenty eight provides one ultrasound and dollar one hundred forty provides five free ultrasounds for mothers in crisis every dollar helps save babies and share the hope of the gospel to donate dial pound two hundred and fifty and say the keyword baby that's pound two hundred fifty and say the keyword baby or visit preborn dot com afr that's preborn dot com afr this is at the core on
>> : american family radio with your host walker Wildmon
>> Walker Wildmon: welcome back to the core here on american family radio well there's so much i could say about america's two hundred fiftieth this this ad i just told bobby about and i'm going to link to this here for bobby on the rundown he'll link it on the show notes but google put out i mean just a phenomenal advertise it of course they were promoting google and all of their tools but the way they did this and you'll have to go once again watch it for yourself the way they did this is they basically created if you will user google accounts for all the founders and the signers of the declaration and they kind of basically they acted like hey if we were doing this in twenty twenty six here's what it would look like and so the you know benjamin franklin they were all circulating the google doc which was the drafting of the declaration they were adding in their edits they were setting up meetings with the continental congress you know marking things on their calendar it was just this cool play at america's independence and also promoting the google products and it was a very patriotic thing a very commemorable thing and i just thought it was quite honorable quite impressive for a company that doesn't always put off the most patriotic vibes in google but look patriotism i think it's cool again i think patriotism is making a comeback and i think president trump and the conservative movement can take credit for that one clip i want to play when i was speaking last segment about oil prices dropping markets looking more optimistic the white house hopefully pivoting away from the iran talk and just talking more about america about two hundred fiftieth about the optimism in america and how we're going to rebuild the country this clip is from fox maria bartiromo this oil or this this market executive if you will his name's james lorio from ah ji financial strategies james lorio he or maybe james orio maybe that maybe that's an i and not an l nonetheless he was on fox news business with maria bartiromo but he was predicting dollar forty five a barrel oil next year which i gotta say seems a little far fetched but even if we get down to fifty fifty five a lot of the energy analysts are looking at this post iran conflict and saying look this two dollars two dollars twenty five gallon gasoline at the tank or at the store at the convenience store at the at the pump can can make a comeback and it can make a comeback pretty quickly let's listen the only
>> Speaker E: thing that seems like truth is the price of crude itself and look at it sixty eight dollars a barrel it's only about eight or nine dollars ahead of where it was before this conflict started so to me the market is saying this thing is ninety eight percent done and to the general's point that last two percent could be consequential if something flares up again so there still should be a bit of a risk premium in crude however i think in the middle of next year crude is going to be at about forty five bucks a barrel and i think we're already starting starting to see the reasons why uae is increased production opec then increases production to keep their market share
>> Walker Wildmon: well there you have it this this once again this is this is just an analyst talking about his predictions who knows where this is going to land he could be completely wrong i could be completely wrong but if the iran thing stays normal stays level the straight remains open and these arab nations are continuing to pump oil and you get these supplies rebuilt we're back in a positive trend on the production front we're back in a positive trend on the pricing front back to where we're having discussions about how low will oil go how low will the price at the pump go will we see below dollar two gasoline i mean this was the trend we were on before the iran war this was the trend we were on we were talking hey gas is two hundred and twenty five where i am gas is two hundred fifteen where i am and it was one hundred ninety seven in some parts of the country so of course you're going to have your outliers in california and illinois where they've got these insane taxes and prices and regulations but that's what's needed to continue to improve the economy to continue to put money back in the american's pocket and so that's where the trend is that's where the speculation is and the market is lending credibility to such low fuel prices in the long run once again over the next three to six months and heading into next year another positive report is where the us is trending not just in our lowering death rate there was a recent report that came out in the us death rate falling to a record low last year in twenty twenty five continuing a recovery trend of course since the COVID pandemic where all the numbers on mortality et cetera were just very bad very bad numbers historically bad at least in modern history but one of the drivers so this is more of a positive story one of the drivers in the lowering of the mortality rate in the us was fewer drug overdose deaths so drug overdose deaths are dropping in the country to a heading back towards a more pre covid level and hopefully continuing to drop more and so this is a very positive trend we saw the carnage and i want folks to not forget this the covid was more than an economic disaster it was more than an inflation disaster it was more than a public health crisis and a complete fumbling of the problem that was before us i mean we mishandled the response to covid on so many levels and we could go through the laundry list but nonetheless us mortality surged ah after covid i mean we went listen to these numbers by the way this is shocking but just the overdose death which folks this is let's be honest the overdose death rate is indicative of a couple things to not be too exhaustive here it's obviously driven by the availability of these narcotics these illicit drugs that lead to overdose deaths and the availability on the us black market all right that's clearly a driver but secondly people's quality of life what's the economy doing what are people's home lives like what's the employment of situation those are factors as well the quality of life factor is a factor as well when it comes to overdose deaths and all the data bears this out but our country went from in twenty fifteen a sixteen this is out of one hundred thousand people a sixteen point overdose death rate out of one hundred thousand people so sixteen people out of one hundred thousand commit or have a fatality because of an overdose so that's sixteen and twenty fifteen you fast forward to twenty nineteen we're at twenty one five point increase from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty one that's not good you look at the twenty twenty so from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty which obviously what happens in between that covid happens you went from twenty one overdose overdoses sorry per one hundred thousand people to twenty eight in twenty twenty and then listen to this it keeps trending up twenty twenty one thirty two overdose deaths per one hundred thousand people and then it stayed that level for three years and then twenty twenty four a precipitous drop from thirty one down to twenty three and a continued drop according to the latest twenty twenty five data and so we're seeing a continual improvement here on multiple fronts across the board on mortality and so that's a positive trend things are moving in the right direction and there's a lot that can be said about what's contributing to this but overall the make america healthy again agenda is undoubtedly playing a part we're having improved quality of health care improved access to health care the cost is still a major issue major holdup for americans but the awareness about some of the leading causes of death some of the leading causes of these chronic diseases all of that is continuing to trend up i read a report the other day about how artificial intelligence is being deployed at some of these major hospitals especially this report was out of florida and they were they were cutting sepsis related deaths by like sixty percent by plugging in artificial intelligence into the early kind of the early warning indicators early warning signs on people that are admitted into the hospital that kind of fit the profile for possibly going septic and this hospital by plugging in artificial intelligence algorithms into reading all of the charts all of the data looking at genetics looking at blood work looking at health history all of this combined with artificial intelligence they were decreasing septic or sepsis related deaths and mortalities by sixty percent in this one hospital system by plugging in artificial intelligence so all in all you know things are we're beginning to heal somewhat in the country not just economically but really from a health standpoint as well and some of these items that robert f kennedy junior is putting forth and some of these reforms that are taking place some of these transparency items with these food companies this is very this is major stuff here this is major stuff i mean you've had the cdc these are things that were thought unimaginable these were wish list items for conservatives for decades but you've got the cdc vaccine advisory board completely remotely made up of freedom loving health related people health believing people that they're rewriting the vaccine recommendation chart and recommendation for the states they're coming out saying yeah some of these shots haven't been good for the american people and they're doing this in spite of big pharma and then you've got president trump putting out trump rx that opens the door for these drastically reduced prices for the american people when it comes to pharmaceuticals and so there's a lot of positive trends here but i did want to note that trend on the precipitous drop in overdose deaths which generally is a good sign and a good trend for the country but all of this folks you can't just assume that it's going to continue and i wish it weren't the case that the leaders in washington dc could have this much of a move this much of an influence on the trend lines in america and american culture but folks like it or not this is where we are you can either have a national government and don't get me wrong the state politics the local politics all of this matters and i'm a huge fan of local government civic engagement you can do so much good through the local government through the state government but let's not miss out on this fact that our nation's leaders in the federal government they can either push this country in the right direction or they can push this country in the wrong direction they can be oppressive or they can be freedom loving and so as we go to the ballot box whether it's this november or next november twenty twenty eight whenever it is as a country we've got to remember if we want to restore this country if we want to rebuild the economy if you want to rebuild the american family if you want to see things like the overdose deaths continue to drop if you want to see things like the fertility rate and the rate of childbirth going back up so we can actually rebuild the population rebuild the native born population all of these things are things that have to be fought for continually over long periods of time as a people as a freedom loving people we cannot wake up one day and be civically engaged voting high turnout take the country back like happened in twenty twenty four and then in twenty twenty eight twenty twenty six midterms whatever the election is sit on the couch and just assume things are going to stay moving in the right direction i don't know what the conservative movement has to have happen to learn that we have to persistently do the right thing we have to persistently every election every day every opportunity elect the right people to do the right thing for the country this this pendulum this historical pendulum swing back and forth between republican democrat marxist freedom loving patriot we cannot as a country with the with the extreme positions of that the other side has with the destruction that they want to bring upon western civilization we cannot afford as a nation to keep giving them the
