Acts chapter nine covers the conversion of Saul
Well, Acts chapter nine is where we've been this week. Acts, chapter nine, this future. few verses here at the beginning of Acts chapter 9 cover the conversion of Saul, who is later referred to as and goes by the name of Paul the Apostle Paul. And so Acts chapter nine. Looking at verse, one through, let's see, seven or eight. let's read this here. Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and, and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus that if they found any who were preaching the way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed, he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? And he said, who are you, Lord? Then the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads. So he, trembling and astonished, said, lord, what do you want me to do? Then the Lord said to him, Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do. And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no one. Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And he was there three days without sight. Neither ate nor drank. So this is the the Conversion of Saul and the testimony that God can use the most broken, the most evil and the most wicked people for his purposes if he chooses. That's Acts chapter nine, verses one through nine.

The San Francisco Giants forced their players to wear Pride gear promoting homosexuality
the first thing I want to talk about is this victory with the mlb. Now we brought up earlier in the week and we made our supporters, aware of this, the fact that the San Francisco Giants, not only did they have so called LGBTQ Pride night and forced their players to wear this, this Pride gear, this rainbow gear, but, there was a lot of pushback. We notified our supporters of this. We did a petition in support of these Christian players that were speaking out against this. One of them had a couple of them had Bible verses written on their ball caps. And so there was this back and forth and the MLB sent out a warning to these players, these Christian players that basically said, hey, you know, if you put Bible verses on your, on your gear anymore, we're going to fine you $10,000. So Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri fired off a letter to the mlb, threatening to investigate the mlb, for religious, discrimination and also raising questions about their entire practices of, promoting things like the LGBTQ agenda and furthermore, sending out these threatening, fine letters to these MLB players. So all of that back and forth over the last few days, and Senator Josh Hawley announced just yesterday afternoon that, the MLB has responded to his letter and they are seriously reconsidering and actually taking further action to rescind some of these terrible policies promoting the LGBTQ activism in, in the Major League Baseball Association. Let's listen to Senator Hawley. Just to be clear, Senator Hawley, it goes so far as I understand it, as the Giants cannot make their players wear the Pride uniform.
>> US Sen Hawley: That's correct. I mean, that is what the commissioner. I want to emphasize this was the Commissioner of baseball responding to me. He said that no player on any club will be required to wear these kind of political messaging uniforms. And furthermore, no one will be discriminated against on the basis of their religious faith. Now that ought to be common sense. Will, the fact that we had to go through all of this, I had to threaten to bring him in front of the Senate, put him under oath. He's being investigated. The league is for other things. All of that is ridiculous. It was stupid on the part of Major League Baseball to do any of this. But I'm glad they admitted they were wrong. Let's get back to God and country and playing some baseball and stop all this woke garbage.
>> Walker Wildmon: Well, there you have it, Senator Hawley sounds like me very, very straightforward. Not mincing words, not tiptoeing around things. the, mlb, this shouldn't happen to begin with. So let's set the plumb line, let's set the standard, and then we can go from there. Because Bobby made a good point this morning. Bobby, and basically, Bobby, this should have never happened. I Mean, yes, it's good the MLBs were sending it. They're walking back this terrible policy that they had promoting homosexuality and transgenderism. But we shouldn't be here to begin with. That's the standard, right? Yeah, absolutely. And, if memory serves, MLB actually put out a policy in 2023, that said that players don't have to, capitulate to these types of policies and procedures and so on if it's, it would affect their conscience, their faith and so forth. So it's not like this, has just come about and now it's, ah, established rule. It's been established. it's just that mlb, and has been lending a blind eye to it as it sees its ideologies to be met. Yeah, yeah. And this, this folks, is. Should have never happened. You shouldn't have, MLB programs wearing Pride gear promoting homosexuality and transgenderism. and I'm trying to do better about just not calling it lgbtq because people are like, what even is that? I mean, we've so dumbed down these terms that we don't even know what we're talking about now. We're talking about the open promotion and celebration of sexual deviancy outside of the sexual norms that are established at creation. and we're subverting that as a society. And so that's what this is about. That's what we're so called celebrating. And when you put it in those terms, you ought to think twice about this stuff and whether you want to celebrate it. But nonetheless, I hesitate to say, well, the MLB or the NFL, they shouldn't have to be doing any special celebrations for anything. It should just be baseball. And I understand that's probably a good default position. But let me be more specific in what the true standard should be here, because I think, I think we have to. I understand, I understand the role of neutrality, especially from a business model like, let's just stay out of this stuff, okay? But at the same time, folks, there is good and there is evil and there is right and there is wrong. And so I think we need to be careful taking this bland, plain, neutral approach to everything, because we've got some bad actors that like to celebrate bad things. Okay? And let me give an example. If you say, well, the MLB shouldn't be having any nights celebrating anything. It should just be baseball, well, that sounds good. But in practicality, what the Marxists are going to do is they're going to say, well, it's July 4th and you guys said that we shouldn't celebrate anything, that we shouldn't have any special nights or any special jerseys to commemorate different events or historical events, or movements, etc. And so I think the proper standard that we should all agree on is that these organizations, these companies, these entities, these leagues, they need to stop promoting things that are wrong. And we have to establish right and wrong. Because if we don't, then people don't know, like, is this okay or is that okay? We just have to state what is right and what is true according to God's standards. And so the MLB M ought to be able to have, jerseys with the American flag on it on the, you know, on the month of July or like a Memorial Day. they ought to be able to celebrate the 250th with special uniforms and have special things going on at the ballpark. But we just shouldn't be celebrating and promoting sexual deviancy. Ah. And so I think we need to be careful not to take this broad, brushed approach that companies and leagues ought not be able to do anything special. We should just be boring. I don't think that's fair. I think they should just stop doing the wrong stuff like making their players wear the pride jerseys. Let's just stop that. Let's don't overcorrect here and not celebrate anything because of one thing that they're doing wrong. And so the MLB has really pulled back here. They issued a public apology and a letter to Senator Hawley. And as a matter of fact, they went as far to say that MLB policy is that these players aren't required to wear these jerseys. They're not required to wear these pro homosexual and transgender jerseys. they can just wear their regular baseball uniforms. So I think the proper standard here is these organizations need to follow, the leading of the Texas Rangers. And let's just don't have Pride Night. Let's just don't celebrate sin. Let's don't celebrate sexual deviancy. And let's just be normal. Let's just be normal. Let's play baseball and not celebrate things that are, against God's word, that are, destructive for a culture, destructive for an individual, and ultimately lead to hell. That's what these activities lead to. That's what these sinful lifestyle choices lead to, is eternal separation from God. And so let's just not do that. and I think that the MLB should make that policy. These teams, like the San Francisco Giants, by the way, this is in the belly of the beast. San Francisco's uber liberal. you know, very, very, left wing city ungodly. I mean, just, just their leadership there. The history of San Francisco is just the farthest thing from righteousness, if you will.
NFL organizations need to get out of business promoting godless agenda
but these, these organizations and, and the league as a whole, they just need get out of the business of promoting this left wing agenda. Whether it's, whether it's Pride Night or anything else that they're doing that's promoting this left wing godless agenda. They just need to get out of that business. And we ought to be able to have things like nights honoring God's, design for marriage and family, which is what the Texas Rangers did. We ought to have nights where players can share their testimonies about how God saved them. we ought to have games that celebrate America and our 250th and patriotism. but let's just don't do the woke stuff. That's just all there is to it. Let's just not do the woke stuff. That should be the standard. We'll be back in a few.

Next weekend we'll celebrate the 250th birthday of America
>> Walker Wildmon: Welcome back to The Core here on American Family Radio. Glad to have you with us. during this second segment of today's program, we have July 4th just right around the corner. Can you believe it? Next weekend we'll be celebrating the 250th birthday of America. And my hope is that you're sporting your patriotic swag, whether it's your American flag, hopefully hanging somewhere around your home. which I've got. I'm, I'm like ultimate patriot because I've got two American flags. I've got one on my front porch and I've got one on the side, near my back patio. So I've got American flags everywhere and I just order brand new ones, for the, 250th. but, you know, patriotism is a good thing. It's a noble thing. And we could get into the root word patriotism and actually talk about that, which is a very compelling word. but nonetheless, patriotism, is a good and a noble thing. To love one's country, to care for one's country is fully compatible with scripture. And I didn't even, wasn't even planning to go here today. But now that we're here, let's talk about it.
Some Christian circles say being patriotic or pro America is antithetical to scripture
You know, this notion within some Christian circles that being patriotic or pro America is somehow antithetical to scripture and that we should be more globalist and worldwide minded and things like that, is totally missing the point and a total misinterpretation of scripture. Now we are to share the gospel to the ends of the world. That's what the scripture says. So, our boundaries for gospel sharing and conversion and discipleship are endless. That should be taking place at all times, at all places. And Christianity, we ought to be able to spread it all around the world. But for born again believers that are born and live in this nation, that are living in this country as modern citizens of America, m, we ought to be good stewards of that which God has entrusted us. So one of the things he's entrusted us with is citizenship in this country and stewardship over this nation. We have the ability to vote, the ability to govern ourselves. We have tremendous opportunities and abilities that have been given to us by God that many people in past civilizations and throughout human history just haven't been afforded the opportunity, to experience. And so all of that to say, that patriotism is a good thing, care and love for one's country and for one's people, is a good thing. I mean, after all, the scripture talks about how we ought to love our neighbors as ourselves. And so, we should all be patriots, we should all be patriotic. We should be proud of our country. being proud of our country doesn't mean that we're haughty or we don't we turn a blind eye to sin or we fail to acknowledge when our country has done things that are wrong. That's just not the case. but we also ought not sit in this perpetual victimhood and this perpetual state of moaning and groaning and complaining about things and refusing to fix it. When you look throughout American history, if you listen to the Marxists and we'll play some clips in the next segment, they try to talk about how, America is responsible for all the evil and colonialization and slavery and they go through the laundry list and they fail to talk about things like Abortion, for some reason, their list of sins. But nonetheless, what they refuse to tell you is if it wasn't for the church and Christianity, a lot of these evils, if not most of them, if not all, in American history, would have never been resolved. It was because there were Christians. Whether it's slavery, segregation, or the feminist, movement before it got woke up, women's rights, rather a lot of these movements, in America were led by born again believers. It was Christianity and Christians that were looking at the scripture and then looking at how we were doing things and saying, hey, guys, this doesn't reconcile. We can't be doing slavery. This is against God's word, because we're all created in the image of God. And so what happened? Well, the church rose up against slavery and we ended up abolishing it. And now we have the modern civil rights movement that we have today, because Christians said, hey, this isn't compatible with, the scripture. But that's left out of the Marxist history books. Nonetheless, but at the end of my rabbit trail here, I will tell you that being patriotic is a good thing. It's a noble thing. And we ought to all love our country and love our neighbors and seek to do everything within our power and control to better our society, our community and our family.
There's a lot of rhetoric out there about Iran and the Middle East
let's talk about, what's going on internationally with IRAN and this 60 day, memorandum of understanding. There's a lot of rhetoric out there, especially the Internet. Look, the Internet can be good. It can also be bad because you get all kinds of rhetoric, all kinds of propaganda, and you don't know what to believe. So there's a lot of noise out there. But I'll just tell you what is going on on the ground. there is some kind of deal between the US And Iran. There's no doubt about that. No matter what you hear, there is some sort of a deal that has been worked out between the US And Iran. How do I know that is because the missiles aren't flying? All right? The drones and the missiles aren't flying. We're not bombing Iran anymore. And so the hostilities, the back and forth tit for tat hostilities, have effectively ceased, at least for now. Now that could change within the hour, who knows? But for the last several days, that's been the status quo. boats are beginning to sell through the Strait of Hormuz. that's a fact. Now, it's not at the numbers it was pre war, but ships are moving through the Strait. so I'm going to play a couple clips here.
Dan Dicker: Low oil stockpiles will have to be corrected eventually
the first clip I am going to play, regarding the energy markets and oil is from an oil analyst talking about these energy levels, these fuel and inventory levels that are going to have to be corrected at some point. So this is about a two and a half minute clip. this is Dan Dicker. He is author of Oil's Endless Bid. He was on with Bloomberg just within the last week talking about how the fact how that the world is going to have to restock, their inventories to get back to normal levels before we can really consider this whole energy fluctuation, done and gone. Let's listen.
>> Oil Analyst: The question becomes when does the physical reality of these low stockpiles actually hit ah, the financial markets that are controlling the price of oil? And unless this deal gets done, you know, to a much more firm degree, oil starts to flow, seriously and rebuild some of those stockpiles that have been draining from the past three months, that physical market is going to assert itself in a way that we've never seen asserted itself before. And what that drives, of course is it drives a price that doesn't go from 75 to $85. It's a price that goes in the space of a month from $75 to $135. And that's why you've seen guys like Mike Worth at Chevron and the Exxon guy, the Vice President come out and say, look, when this happens, stockpiles are a disaster and it's really bad out there. Don't blame us because we've got nothing to do with it, it's not our fault. But when these stockpiles reach the physical reality of the futures markets, you're going to see a spike like you never saw before.
The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at historically low levels
>> Walker Wildmon: Well there you have it. That's ah, that's an oil analyst talking, about the inventory levels. And President Trump alluded to this at the G7. He didn't allude to it, he specifically mentioned it. And I played the clip here on the program of the world having about another four weeks of safety reserves, of safe levels of energy reserves before we would start running into supply issues. And that's what President Trump said. and we shouldn't be surprised because when you go from millions of barrels of oil going through the strait to zero, for the last few months, near zero, that's a problem and that's a shock to the supply for the world. Now thankfully, virtually every developed country has weeks of fuel reserves stored up on shore that they're able to run on until things normalize. But that is, I would say that is the immediate and the long term problem here. When I say immediate and long term, immediately the strait has to stay opened and you have to have energy flowing through the Strait of Hormuz to not continue eating into that four week buffer that the President talked about. But longer term, what does it take to restock these reserves? Because that's going to be needed as well. The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is in essence, various, caves within the U.S. where we store, store millions m of barrels of oil, obviously unrefined oil. Down in Louisiana and Texas and other places, those reserves are at their lowest level since 1983. So the last time the levels from the SPR were where they are was in 1983. So we've, we've depleted more than even Biden depleted. And Biden was dipping in to the oil reserves like nobody's business. And he was doing it for different reasons. He was doing it because he had terrible energy policy and he was supplementing his bad energy policy with dipping into the reserves, which is a terrible thing to do. President Trump, we're a de facto at war with Iran and that's why we're dipping into our strategic Petroleum reserve. So the using of the reserve that President Trump is doing is actually what it's made for. It's made, made for times of war, times of disruption. And so I don't really have a problem with dipping into it. It's just what are your plans to refill it? Because you can't keep depleting it, for weeks on end, months, on end, without a plan to refill it, which takes itself six to 12 months to really get, the type of refilling that is meaningful. And so that's what's going on now. You look at the price of oil. For anybody who looks at the markets and tracks the, you know, what the market's doing, the price of oil is so out of touch with this reality and it's quite bizarre, unless there's something I'm missing, which is very possible. The price of oil is so out of touch with what's going on on the ground. And let me explain. I just mentioned to you how low the energy reserves are, meaning how much fuel we have sitting around in tanks both in the US and around the world. We're at historically low reserve levels. There's just not a lot of reserves left, whether it's Jet fuel, diesel, gasoline, whatever you're talking about. This is virtually the case all across the board on all energy fronts. We're at these historically low, levels for inventories, which usually with the whole supply demand economics would mean that the price of oil should be going up, up, because it's, you should be forecasting a great demand to refill the reserves. And you have to, you have to meet current demand, current usage. So that would, you would think, make oil go up, but oil is going down. It's going down to, like, pre war levels. So I don't know what's going on here with the markets, and maybe there's something these analysts know that we don't know. But, the Strait of Hormuz is far from completely reopened. So this, what I'm calling optimism on the energy front, which it appears, what it seems to be is this optimism of like, hey, we're past the Iran situation. the oil is flowing again, right? That's the narrative you're getting out of the White House. But you look at the traffic in the Strait, and it's nowhere near pre war levels. So before the Iran war, there were between 100 and 130 ships flowing through the Strait of Hormuz every single day. So that is pre war norm levels. Now you have 20, 30 ships flowing through the Strait of Hormuz on a daily basis. And that's just over the last three or four days since this memorandum of understanding was signed. And so we're just not back even close to anywhere pre war levels when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz. And so, I'm not sure how you get optimism there. And Bobby and I talked this morning. Unless you're getting, unless 100% of the ships that are flowing through, the Strait are energy vessels, which, if it's 30 or 40 a day, all of those are energy vessels, meaning liquid, natural gas, oil. Then that is pre war levels, because that's about the number of energy ships that were flowing through. The rest were, commercial vessels carrying other things like fertilizer and goods and, food, shipments. But, so a lot's going on, and I just think it's a little too early to say, you know, we're past this, because I'm going to play a clip here of Secretary Rubio. There's just a lot of things to still work out before the market and the public can look at this and go, you know, the Iran deal has passed us. It's in the history books now.
Secretary Rubio questioned about Iran charging fees to pass through Strait of Hormuz
Secretary Rubio, was talking about, was questioned about Iran charging fees to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran keeps saying they're going to charge fees. President Trump says, no, you're not. This is Secretary Rubio's thoughts on this. Let me ask you about Hormuz. If possible, can the US and allies, can they, guarantee navigation, freedom of navigation in the state? Well, that's the law. It's an international waterway. No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway. That's existing international law.
>> Secy of Sate Marco Rubio: That's the way it is in international waterways all over the world, and that's the way we expect it'll be here. So I don't think we have anybody to convince around here in that regard. I think all the countries in this region would agree with us. All right, see you tomorrow. Well, there you have it. That's Secretary Rubio on, the fact that, look, Iran can't be charging fees to go through international waters, that's just patently absurd. This notion that Iran is going to extort the world and every vessel that passes through international waters is just absurd. This is ridiculous. This is just completely, untethered from reality. But I will tell you, anyone who knows a little bit of their history, especially early American history, will know that the Muslim, tolling of international waters is not a new phenomena. And I think it's quite ironic that on our 250th anniversary, what are we arguing about? We are arguing and fighting Muslims charging tolls in international waters. And right now, people are starting to go, oh, yeah, I know what he's talking about. So look it up. Thomas Jefferson, Barbary pirates, and early American history. Just do those keywords, and what you'll find is that the Muslims have been trying, and some successfully, to charge a tax on shipments near their countries in international waters for hundreds of years, including, in America's case, going back to the late 1700s and early 1800s with Thomas Jefferson. We, had to put up a fighting force and a navy to combat the Barbary pirates that were, what, Muslims? So this is not a new problem. And it's quite ironic we're still facing it in 2026. 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 a.

Thomas Jefferson set up navy to protect American shipping from Muslim pirates
>> Walker Wildmon: Welcome back to the corps here on American Family Radio. Glad to have you with us for this last segment on today's program. Well, picking back up on our discussions regarding, the irony of, early American leaders, including Thomas Jefferson, having to set up a, navy and a military that could, that could traverse the seas and protect American trade, American shipping vessels. That's what happened in the early 1800s because the Muslim Barbary pirates were raiding our ships, were charging fees to traverse, mostly international waters. And, they were earlier history, they were doing that to Europeans as well. And then it began affecting, not only the American colonies, but then the early America after independence. And here we are in 2026 debating about whether the Muslims in Iran can charge a tax, a fee, for, traversing international waters through the shores of Oman and Iran. Quite the irony. And if you would have told me, you know, 200 years ago we'll still be debating this in 200 years, I would have not believed you. But here we are. and that's why it's important to know history, to know, the history of our country and the things that we have gone through in the past.
Candidate for state senate in New York makes anti-Muslim tirade
Speaking of history, this, candidate for state senate in the state of NewSong York, who also is a Muslim, went on a, one or two minute, one minute, this clip, tirade about how, the west is evil, how America is just all bad and how poor Muslims have been victimized by America. And she even, alludes to 9, 11 and how Americans just haven't learned anything. We're still doing the sins of the past. This candidate said, folks, this is where the Democrat Party is. And this is why I've said multiple times, I just don't think they can reign themselves in. I just think they've been radicalized and they're going to become more and more radical to such an extent, where they have, kind of these pro Hamas, pro Jihad candidates that are running for public office in America. This candidate, is named, Aber Kwas. She was, she is a Mandami endorsed candidate in the Democrat primary for a state Senate seat in NewSong York State. let's listen to her, basically, blaming America and capitalism and racism for all of the world's problems.
>> Speaker D: Let's Listen, and so like, and finding that like, you know, the system of capitalism and racism, and white supremacy, et cetera, have all. And Islamophobia have all been used, you know, to, to colonize lands, right. To take resources from other people. And so this is like a long trajectory and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation. Right. With 9, 11. and so a lot of times when people are asking us to respond about attack, right? When if you look back, like historically. Right. a lot of us come from lands that were colonized, lands where wars are being waged. Right. A lot of times because of U.S. policy or the policies in Europe. And so, I find that we can connect over that. But then also that the idea that we have to apologize for like a terror attack that like a couple people did and then there is no apologies or reparations for genocides and for slavery, etc. Is something that I kind of find like reprehensible.
>> Walker Wildmon: I mean, we can't go a day without these Democrats talking about reparations, slavery and the sins of 200 years ago. I mean, are you kidding me? and we're talking about issues for today and they just want to dig up the past. and the irony here, let's just be honest, and this is totally not politically correct, and you'll never hear this on cnn, but let's just be honest, okay, let's be honest. The moral equivalency of the Christian west, and I'm talking mainly, Western Europe and the Americas, the United States of America, the Christian west. The moral equivalency of the Christian west and the Muslim majority nations and the history of Islam is just patently absurd. And it's even more absurd when you try to claim that Islam and the history of Islam is even more virtuous or more right than the Christian west. And the Christian west is actually responsible for the evil in the world over the last 300 years. To make that narrative shift, to make even some kind of moral equivalency, is that like we're all bad or we're all evil is just patently absurd. And this is where we have to speak the cold hard truth, okay? And we have to know our facts, we have to know our history, and we have to know the scripture to be able to judge what is right and what is true. And if we have a proper understanding of the past. What you will quickly find for those who are interested in the truth, is that Islam is single handedly responsible for hundreds of years of pillaging, of raping, of exploiting, of stealing, of destroying and of killing for hundreds of years throughout various parts of the world. And this notion that creating colonies or establishing nations is just something that these white colonial Americans figured out 250 or 300 years ago is just ridiculous. when you listen to these people, you would think that the first time people settled and established some kind of government or civilization was just within the 1700s or the 1600s. Like, before that we were all just on our own. It was the Wild west or the Wild east, whichever part of the world you're talking about. Like, like we were just all, you know, maybe we had some tribes, but nothing was civilized, Nothing was governed, nothing was established. Are you kidding me? Countries, nations, governments and peoples have been traversing the world, taking over each other's land, establishing countries and governments and control and trade and civilizations since the dawn of creation. I mean, this notion that this is just like an American thing, to establish a civilized society and have a functioning government is just ridiculous. but it's more than just that, because I just basically made the case that American colonies and establishing the American government as we know it is something that other countries had been doing forever. Forever. But I don't want to just make, it seem like we're just one country in a thousand or one country throughout history. And there's nothing unique about us. Our founders actually had righteous and virtuous aims when establishing America. They wanted religious freedom, they wanted to abolish slavery, they wanted free enterprise, they wanted private property, they wanted all these individual rights and liberties, and they wanted a limited government so that we could have proper human flourishing and we could propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ. And if you don't believe me, go read all the original charters of, like, 11 of the 13 colonies. And what's in there? The propagation of the gospel of Jesus Christ M as a primary purpose of said colony, even Massachusetts. But it was about more than just propagating the gospel. It was about creating a society and civil liberties that protected everyone, even the dissenters, even the minorities. And so the level of freedom and the freedom of speech to trash. America wouldn't exist without America and without a first Amendment. And so for that, I say America is distinctly unique, distinctly special throughout world history. And we have been a massive exporter of righteousness and virtue unlike any history, unlike any country throughout history. And so this shame America, bad America, and us Muslims, we got it all figured out, is just ridiculous. And it is in complete denial of Reality. And this is why it is so bizarre that the left and the Marxist have this unusual partnership and let's say incorporation with Muslims. Mamdani, the Muslim Brotherhood. This is, it's bizarre. And the reason it's quite bizarre is because Muslims and modern Islam and historical Islamic are not, they're not big fans of human rights here. Okay? And there's some rare exceptions. But even when you go to the modern Arab countries, they don't have a lot of human rights. Okay?
>> Walker Wildmon: Let's just be honest now. They're not as bad off as maybe Iran. But even you go to Qatar or Saudi Arabia, there's just not a lot of religious freedom there. That's just a fact on the ground. You go to Turkey and you're a Christian, there's not a lot of protections there and in some places there's a lot of persecution. And so I can say it broadly throughout the Muslim community. There's just not the same respect for religious freedom and human rights that we have in America. But you go to a lot of these places like Iran, and others, where Christians are martyred and they're killed and the human rights don't exist. Women are treated horribly within Islam. Generally speaking, women are treated horribly in Islam. And you see what the Muslim immigrants are doing in the uk, raping and pillaging, little girls. And this is a huge investigation.
Americans need to reconsider the migration, even the legal immigration of Muslims
Starmer just stepped down in the uk one of the lead prosecutors that totally like put his hands over his eyes and let these depraved Muslim immigrants just pillage and rape, women and girls throughout the UK to the tune of tens of thousands, unpunished. And you look at that and you want to tell me america bad? America bad. I don't think so. I don't think so. And this is why we need to completely reconsider the migration, even the legal immigration of Muslims into our country. And the way you do that is by targeting countries, you target countries, you say, well we can't screen based on religious affiliation. Well I would disagree with that. I think you can. But nonetheless, I think you scream by country, you scream by country and you just say, hey look, we're not letting we're not letting Syrian, immigrants in. We're just not doing it. We're not letting these North African immigrants in to our country. But what have we been doing as Americans, which is just totally self defeating, is we've been importing Muslim legal immigrants. By the way, this is not counting the border crossers, which those are to the thousands as well of those who are Muslim crossing the southern border. But just since 2012, the US has been importing roughly 100,000 Muslims a year. These are illegal. 100,000 a year since 2012. And some of the years it's much more than that. And if you don't see that as a problem, then you are totally blind to the reality on the ground. And let me combat. I try to combat these arguments as we go because I can hear people bringing them up. Let me combat this argument that, well, aren't we supposed to welcome the sojourner? Aren't we supposed to be a welcoming society so we can share the gospel and convert Muslims? Okay, let's talk about that. Let's talk about the practicality of that. obviously we're supposed to propagate the gospel wherever we are. obviously we're supposed to make disciples wherever we are to all people groups. But this notion that it's biblically wise to import hundreds of thousands and over the years, millions of foreign Muslims that fundamentally hate us don't like America. And we're supposed to do that and make them legal citizens and then couch that as, oh, we're just supposed to welcome the outsider folks. That is. That is a very naive and unwise way to look at this. And that's me putting it very mildly and nicely. If we don't protect this homeland from foreign adversaries and foreign ideologies that want to undermine the very existence of America, then in a hundred years, we won't have America as we know it so that we can continue propagating the gospel and delivering 85% of the world's missionary aid for the next 100 years. And so there is something wise and to be said about preserving the civilization that we have so we can continue exporting good and righteousness for a century to come. We'll see you next time.
