Preborn Network provides abortion-free ultrasounds at 124 clinics nationwide
>> Bobby Roza: Abortion moves fast. And right now in our communities, women are being pressured to make irreversible decisions. In moments of fear and panic, they're told to act quickly or risk losing support. Many feel they have no other option. But because of you, they do. At, PreBorn Network clinics. A woman who receives what the abortion industry will never offer, compassion without pressure, clarity about the life growing inside her, real support to welcome her baby and the hope of the gospel, she's given a free ultrasound and space to breathe. And more than 80% of the time when a mother sees her baby on a preborn ultrasound, she chooses life. This March, PreBorn is believing to save 6,800 babies. But it will take 124 partners saying yes every day. Here's my ask. Pause your busy day for just a moment and become a yes right now. Just $28 provides one ultrasound. $140 helps five mothers. Every dollar helps save babies and share hope. To donate, dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound 250 baby. Or visit preborn.com afr that's preborn.com afr.

Rick Green talks about American Covenant Project with Anna Derbyshire
>> Rick Green: Welcome to at the Core with Walker Wildmon and Rick Greene. I'm Rick Green, America's Constitution coach. Thanks for joining me today. And, we've got a special guest we're going to be talking about a cool opportunity for you to sign on to something understanding the word is doing with citizen Go. And it's all about the American covenant. Anna Derbyshire with us. Anna, can you hear me?
>> Anna Derbyshire: I can. Thank you for having me on.
>> Rick Green: Yeah, thanks for coming on. Thanks for being part of a great, great, work and love doing things in the 250th and getting people to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about America's founding and how we hopefully have a Lord will in another 250 years of a great nation. Tell us about, the project.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Well, when the president announced that we were having a rededication to the Lord as a nation, that we're going to be one nation under God and declare that, it really dawned on me that, that's a national. That's not something just the President can do, it's something the people must do. And so that's when we came up with the plan to gather signatures into a leather bound document that we're hoping to present to the Library of con, as a commemorative, action by the nation. People from all 50 states and all the US territories being able to gather up and say yes, as part of the American Covenant, that we are indeed one nation under God.
>> Rick Green: Love it. So is it something anybody can do? How do they actually sign on?
>> Anna Derbyshire: Anyone can do it. And if you go to the American Cabinetproject.com you can sign it right there and the names will just be alphabetical. They won't be identified by state or zip code or anything like that to keep it, you know, protected in that way. but we're gathering, we started two days ago and we have over a thousand signatures already. And so our goal is to get to 25,000 commemorating our 250th, of course, year. And then at 25,000 we have to cut it off because the book can only be so thick. And we also are under time crunch. we have David Hoch is going to be our binder. He's going to actually make it hand leather crafted, from understanding the Word. And he handcrafts Bibles, for legislators around the country. And he is going to hand bind and leather this very special edition.
>> Rick Green: All right. In the time that you said that I was able to sign up. So, American Covenant Project.com is it. Wait, did I go to the. Or did because it moved over to Citizen go?
>> Anna Derbyshire: Yes, yes. Well it will take you over to Citizen Go after you've signed the covenant. And you can go from there, with all of that. But yes, once you sign the American Covenant Project.com, your name will be in the volume. And we're also going to be able to have it. Not the one, of course it's leather bound. But if you want to order that after we get it printed, you can actually, you'll be able to order that online as well. So if you want a copy of it, you can have that.
>> Rick Green: Nice.
The American Covenant is a pledge to be one nation under God
All right. One nation under God. And so you guys are going to present it to or deliver it to the Library of Congress. You're going to hopefully do it on the 16th when the big event happens in D.C. right? That's the big. That's the goal.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Yes. Or maybe, maybe that week sometime. We're kind of going with what Their schedule is and how we're able to arrange that. We're also in contact with, trying to get maybe it into the Congressional Record. We're still a, work in progress. Trying to see what all we can do with this. it's going to be a really neat thing because it's this generation's testimony that we indeed are one nation under God. and we aren't going to have this opportunity again in our lifetime. So this is going to be a really great thing to have your name on. And you'll be able to look it up and say, there's my name in the 250th year of our nation that we covenant as the American people. That indeed we are. And you'll see what the covenant says there. I don't know if you want me to read that.
>> Rick Green: That's what I was looking for. Yes. In fact, I was sitting here. I was searching for it right now. But now I see it. Yeah. Yeah. The American Covenant. We, the undersigned Americans, in this year of our Lord 2026, do solemnly affirm and declare before Almighty God. Go ahead, you take it from there.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Okay. That we are one nation under God. That all men and women are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among these being life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That these rights are not granted by government, but come from the hand of the Creator, who is the author of liberty and the supreme judge of the world. That we humbly acknowledge the blessings of divine providence upon this land and upon our forebears, who. Who established this republic upon the firm foundation of faith in God. That we recommit ourselves to the sacred covenant our fathers made. To live as one people under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And that we do now, in this moment of national rededication, publicly profess our trust in Almighty God as the source of our freedoms and the sure foundation of our republic. We therefore sign our names to this covenant so that future generations and leaders of our nation may know that in our time we chose to stand and retedicate ourselves. The United States of America. One nation under God.
>> Rick Green: Nice. I love it. I love it, man. It is a perfect time to do it too. I mean, this is, you know, for the 250th, as you well know, most nations fall apart at 250 years. And so we're looking to break that cycle and instead, become stronger once again. Rebuild the foundations. Rebuild liberty in our country. And this is Exactly. the foundation upon which we must build. There's some other language in the Declaration about laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms. I mean, that's essentially what you're saying here with this covenant is the foundation upon which, we're building. The principles upon which we're laying this foundation are, Godly principles.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Yes. And again, it's got to be the people of this nation. It's not just something the government can do. We, as the people of this nation, must commit ourselves that we truly are one, nation under God. And that, comes from us. It doesn't just come from the government. The government, may disagree with us from time to time on these things, but we the people are the ones who must make this covenant again before God, this nation belongs to him.
>> Rick Green: Yeah. Amen.
Citizen Go is a grassroots movement that defends family life and freedom worldwide
Hey, tell us more about Citizen Go that's organizing this.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Well, we are a grassroots movement that's actually, worldwide, and we defend family life and freedom around the world. As a matter of fact, right now I'm sitting in the United nations, just finishing up the Commission on the Status of Women. So we do international work trying to defend the truth, not only at the national level, but also at the international level. I've been able to speak at the Human Rights Council in Geneva on behalf of parental rights and child protections. And, so we do a lot of really great things. But this is. As the USA director, this is something that's so dear to my heart. And we, you know, being here among the nations, even this week, I look around the room and there are many nations that, follow godly principles, that are Christian nations at the core. But the United States is the only one that is like this. And the United States actually here voted alone several times, to stand for what we know as truth and for freedom and, for women. And, So, we do that with our lives. At Citizen Go, we defend the truth at all levels of government and corporations, but we give a voice to the grassroots. So anyone who wants to stand and say, you know, I can't go to the United Nations. I can't go to Austin. I can't go to Washington D.C. or wherever it is, but you can send people. And, that's how we go is we are actually supported by the grassroots. $5 at a time, $7 at a time. We don't have huge. And we are, not backed by any government organizations. So, yeah, that's who we are.
>> Rick Green: I noticed on your website, the city of Austin petition that you did. And, I was completely unaware that they were even trying to change the, logo there or that it had a cross in it. You know, all of that was new to me. So thank you for taking on that fight right here in my state, in my backyard, and, and rallying people to win that. I gotta say, I'm surprised. I mean, city of Austin is like, you know, it's the San Francisco of the South. So it's. It's. I've lived, you know, 30 minutes from there most of my life. Now we're about an hour from there. But, it is, it is. this just shows that if the people get involved, even in some of these blue areas that you think the left completely owns, you can still win these battles, right?
>> Anna Derbyshire: Absolutely. Absolutely. And that's what we do is we pick up the battles and we, we fight them. But we can't do it alone. Not a single voice, not a single organization can do it. But we, we collaborate. Like we are collaborating with, understanding the word on this project. And, we do. It takes. Takes all of us. And, you know, they talked about us being the silent majority, but, you know, we're not silent anymore. And I'm so proud of conservatives for stepping up and doing the right thing and standing for truth. we do have to do it together.
>> Rick Green: What's the, Do you guys have state chapters or do people just go to the website and get involved there?
>> Anna Derbyshire: Right. Right now we have just a national, what you call national group. But we have, like I said, we have Spain and Great Britain and, Kenya and Canada and South American nations and all of Europe representatives, and grassroots people from around the world. You know, it's a shock to me to find out that there are still conservatives in Europe.
>> Rick Green: Yeah.
>> Anna Derbyshire: But they're truly, truly are, and they're fighting for their freedoms. And, it's a great organization to be a part of because we, have the founding principles of Christ. And, we fight the battles not just here, but around the world. And, you know, it doesn't stay, overseas. The battle is, of course, in our laps. So, yeah, we have groups in many, many nations around the world that are fighting for life, for freedom, for family, for truth.
>> Rick Green: Well, I'd love to, at some point chat with you about, you know, and maybe even our. For your American members at least do our, biblical citizenship course and constitution classes. Just make. We do them for free, so make them available to you guys. Maybe that's something new.
>> Anna Derbyshire: That would be amazing.
>> Rick Green: You Know, it helps activ. Activate. those folks that have gotten interested seeing something, signed a petition, and now they're going, okay, what's next? What can I do? And anyway, yeah, let's chat offline about that. I'd love to make that available to y'.
>> Anna Derbyshire: All. Let's do that. That would be great.
>> Caroline: Yeah.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Maybe we can tie it to this project.
>> Rick Green: Yeah, yeah, it'd be a perfect time to do it. During the 250th, we've been talking about doing one for Canada, you know, and some of the other. Some of the other countries.
>> Anna Derbyshire: We'll see.
>> Caroline: Yeah.
>> Rick Green: Who knows. Who knows where this, all could go? Well, thank you for what you're doing, and thanks for this project. Yeah, I'm excited. This is a cool, cool thing to be a part of.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Well, thank you. Of course. Me too. It's going to be great. Thank you for having me on. I appreciate it so much.
Rick Green: It's easy to do American Covenant project dot com
>> Rick Green: Now, tell us again, though, is. Do we go to citizengo.com or is it better to go to that?
>> Anna Derbyshire: you can, but you go straight to the signature page for this with the American Cabinet project dot com.
>> Rick Green: All right.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Just go straight to the signing page just like you did. That's the simplest way.
>> Rick Green: Okay. And it was quick, folks, telling you it's easy to do the American Covenant project dot com. I'm assuming you would probably tell us you aren't going to email me 40 times a day because I signed up, right? You're not.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Well, we're going to try not. I'll tell you what, if you sign a petition, we leave you alone.
>> Rick Green: All right?
>> Anna Derbyshire: So
>> Rick Green: thank you. Thank you. God bless you all. Keep it up. And, well written. I'm assuming you had something to do with the wording there.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Yes, yes, yes. Thank you.
>> Rick Green: Well, well done.
>> Anna Derbyshire: And Rick, it's great to talk to you again.
>> Rick Green: You as well. You as well. Thanks for. Thanks for coming on and let's chat. I'll reach out to you and we'll talk about getting citizenship available to you guys.
>> Anna Derbyshire: So that'll be amazing. That'll be amazing.
>> Rick Green: Okay, good stuff.
>> Anna Derbyshire: Great, too.
>> Rick Green: You too. You too are folks.
Christian Foundations of Austin wins American Covenant Award in Austin
So the two websites, you can go to citizengo.org to learn more about the organization itself. And really cool that they did that in the city of Austin. I really didn't know it made me actually go look close at the logo and look at the Christian Foundations of Austin. I mean, come on. Who would have thought that? I mean, you guys have. Most of you that. Listen, don't know my old fights with the city of Austin. I used to go toe to toe with the city of Austin all the time as a state legislator with a district right outside the city of Austin. And it is, I'm just telling you, it is a city taken by the left. And so for them to win that in that city, tells me, well done. Well done. A great, a great, organization to be a part of.

Rick Green discusses Tucker Carlson on America's Constitution
>> Rick Green: Welcome back to at the Core with Walker Wildmon and Rick Greene. I'm Rick Green America's Constitution coach. Phone number is 888-589-8840. That's 888-589-8840. The headlines I want to run through real quick. I was trying to remember if. Let's see, did the Joe Kent thing blow up before my program on Tuesday or after? I'm trying to remember if I talked about it on the program or not. But I will say this. you know, they're making a big deal out of this. I do think it's a big deal from the standpoint of, what kind of scumbag do you have to be to, say the opposite of what you said? Just for the previous five years Many times, and try to embarrass the President as best you can and weaken American interest, just so that you can side with the anti Israel folks like Tucker. I just, man, I'm just telling you this guy is not, the Patriot Saint that everybody, made him out to be. In the last few years, I went to Washington State to campaign against him multiple times in 2022, for several reasons. One, because, someone I thought would be a great member of Congress, Heidi St. John, was running. And because the first time I saw him, met him, heard him, I just knew in my gut this guy's bad news. And I was very, very upset when President Trump endorsed him. It was one of, you know, president. Look, President Trump's been, I mean, he's probably going to end up being my number one rated president in history by the time it's over. He's getting close to that already. But he is terrible at appointments. I mean, endorsement, sorry. He endorses the worst candidates all the time, and it's for the silliest reasons usually. and it's a lot of, you know, everybody's trying to get to him, to get him to endorse and it's just, it's messy. And this was just one of those that, you know, this guy looked good on paper. He had, you know, actually, I take that back. He did not look good on paper, because he was a Democrat. I mean, he was a Democrat that switched to Republican to run for Congress. And because he had served in the military, he looked good on paper to President Trump. His wife had been killed, as a, some sort of foreign service officer. I think she was CIA or something. I can't, I can't remember. Anyway, long story short, I knew this guy was bad news and so I campaigned against him, on my own nickel. Flew out to Washington a couple, several times actually to campaign for Heidi and against this guy and took a lot of heat for it because that Republican, primary turned out to be just a crowded field and it's one of those jungle primary states with a messed up election system. and Kent ended up making it to the runoff and then got beat in the November election and then ran again and lost again. And then Trump appoints him to this counterterrorism position, and now he has stabbed the President in the back. And, you know, I have no problem with someone resigning if they disagree with policy. Have no problem with someone saying, you know, I just can't execute these orders of the President and therefore I'M gonna leave. but to do this letter and make it a big public deal and immediately go on Tucker, in the middle of the, of the, of the war and in the middle of, of our men and women being in harm's way, and to do it in, in such a. Oh, you know, the, the hiding behind. Well, you know, I can't get into the details and I can't share, especially on the Charlie Kirk thing. Like in, in his Tucker interview, he's saying all this nonsense about we were investigating the Charlie Kirk assassination and they stopped me from investigating. I don't buy it for a minute, not for a second. The innuendos of trying to act like this was somehow Israel that killed Charlie Kirk and buying into the crazy Candace Tinfoil Tucker world. it's just disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting. and basically he's showing himself to be what. What some of us said he was five, years ago. Well, four years ago. And so incredibly disappointing now. I'm m not surprised by Tucker at all. I mean, all you got to do to get on Tucker's program is say Israel's bad and the Jews did all the bad stuff that's happening and President Trump is being, snookered by Israel. And it's so disingenuous and it's so absurd to think that Donald Trump is as getting the wool pulled over his eyes, by the Israelis and somehow a puppet of Israel. It's just, it's, it's ridiculous. And you would think that having worked closely supposedly with the President now, now the word is at this point that he was being investigated for leaking, national security secrets. and without, you know, had already been. What's the word I'm looking for? Not, not, closed out, but, but basically, frozen. what, what's the word I'm looking for anyway? Basically been not included in, in most of the security briefings over the last few weeks and had nothing to do with, with most of the intelligence on Iran that was, deter used as determining factors. But he acts like he was. And so, I'm just, I'm just, I'm disappointed frankly, that the President brought him in that close. and, and I'm hoping that Tulsi Gabbard speaks out even more. and I, and I am hoping that, more evidence comes out of whatever he did, whatever he was doing behind the scenes that caused this. I don't think it's going to be good for him and, and the truth will come out and And I think, I think it's going to, exonerate the president's decisions and defend the president's decisions and, probably put Joe Kent in the negative light that he should be put in. So, you know, that's my $0.02 on that one. You may have some other thoughts on it, 888-589-8840 but, man, it sure dominated a lot of the headlines yesterday. And, even today continues after his, after his Tucker interview. okay, so other headlines. Let's see. We got this, new Chilean president, Jose Antonio Cast. And, I had heard a little bit about this guy from, one of my colleagues that works here at Patriot Academy and also involved in some, some really cool international networks where he goes out and essentially works with a lot of these Christian, political operatives around the, around the world that are involved with, some of these amazing, amazing turnarounds in these countries like El Salvador and Argentina, and now Chile. apparently this guy is a believer and, and a solid conservative and, and, you know, ally to America. So I, I am very interested to see what's going to happen. There is, man, there's just a renaissance in all of the Western Hemisphere right now and the, the Americas. I think there's so much of this that you can say, you know, I've even kind of simplified it and said, look at what, what's going to happen after Maduro and after, after the snatch and grab there and arresting this guy and, and the turnaround and of hopefully what will happen in Venezuela now. Now remember, there's not a, there's not a regime change in Venezuela. The, the gal that took over for Maduro was part of the problem. And so I think President Trump's just, you know, negotiating at this point and trying to see how much he can change what's happening down there without having to, you know, be us, be that involved. But, but with Chile and now Cuba and all of these dominoes falling, folks, this is, this is a complete realignment of the globe. I mean, the whole Iranian thing is when you put, when you put Maduro and Venezuela together with what's happening in Iran, together with what's happening in Cuba, this is a complete realignment of world powers. And we're getting to see some really amazing things happen. So be encouraged. And not in fear, of course. We don't have a spirit of fear, but a power, love and a sound mind. And just know that God's on the move, man, as my pastor likes to say. Aslan's on the move and there's some good things happening now. I know. In fact, producer, and I were just talking off air about the price of oil. It looks like, Brent's up 119, West Texas up close to 195. So you know, clearly there's a risk here that this gets to the point of causing a global economic issue. Not as high as I thought it would be at this point. I mean you would think with the Straits and all the stuff that's happened that it would be just exploding beyond control. This is, we're just not even, we're just now to the point of even getting back to 10 years ago and things that happened under Joe Biden and Barack Obama and I'm not as concerned as some people are. Now I do see a headline that Qatar is saying they're not going to guarantee their natural gas contracts for up to five years because of the damage from Iran's missiles. Saying that it set the region back 10 to 20 years. I'd be surprised if it's actually 10 to 20 years with the technology we have now. and I hate to respond in a selfish way, but immediately I start thinking about how much natural gas we just burn off in Texas, because it's not worth capturing and building the pipelines to capture. Maybe this could create opportunity for that to be a market that, that ends up, you know, being captured and and being profitable for us here at home. I don't know. I don't know, man. There's, there's so many things happening. It's, it's. I just feel like it's, it's, it's like we have a ringside seat to one of the, one of the greatest fights in history or a, you know, front row seats to one of the best, you know, shows in history. History is happening in big ways right now, here at home. You with the realignment at home and the counter revolution as Mark Victor Hanson called it the other day, that President Trump is leading. This is a president that is gaining more ground and reshaping the institutions in America than at any time in history. I mean, this is why I really do think by the time he's done, he will be rated as the number one president in history on my list. And maybe historians will say because of his ability at this point to reshape the institutional structures of America, certainly already to an extent greater than anybody since FDR and FDR have shaped him in the wrong direction. but if he is successful for the next three years in the way that he's been successful in the first year of the second term, even more so than FDR and more so than any president in history. So really interesting to. Not just a watch to be a part of, folks. And that's what I'm. I'm always going to close out the program, and I'll do that in 30 minutes here. But, with saying it's. It's up to you to make sure it's last, that it's not just something that he does from Washington, D.C. and through executive orders or even through legislation that's passed, but it's something that we do at the local level, that we actually restore liberty at the local level, that we rebuild the institutions that make a nation great, that make a society great, our businesses, our faith, institutions, our education says all of those things have to be rebuilt because the left has dominated those areas and destroyed them, even the media and all of these things. So we've got to do that at the local level, even more so than what he's doing at the. At the, at the national and international level. All right, I said I get to the phones. Let's do it. 888-589-8840 is the phone number. 888-589-8884.
Rick Green: I think this is a learning opportunity for Donald Trump
We'll go to Texas first. Paul in Texas is up first. And I'm sorry, Paul, my software is rebooting. I will get you in about two seconds, unless the.
>> Paul: There they go.
>> Rick Green: Oh, okay, Gotcha. All right, Paul, go ahead, man. You're up first.
>> Paul: Yes. I think this Joe Kent thing, first of all, thank you so much for the detailed background about him and why he never should have been selected. But this is what I would call a great learning opportunity that I hope Donald Trump would start to put two plus two together and make a list and check it twice and go back through the meetings and say, who is all the people that told me Joe Kent's the guy. He's got to be on this. We can trust him and make a list and note of those people and kick them out of his circle. I, agree with you totally. When it comes to local Texas elections, Donald Trump may know local issues, but some of his endorsements in local areas is just laughable. I can't. To me, it's obvious that it's kind of like his, you know, dealing with horse trading with a swamp. Right, Right. But for this one, this is a great opportunity to find out whoever it is I Could make conjectures all day. But whoever in his cabinet that told this is a good idea, it's a good idea to get rid of them too. That's my call.
>> Rick Green: Man. I love your approach, Paul. To say, hey, this is a learning opportunity. It's not just bemoan it, you know, and completely plane. Let's say, okay, how do we take this and learn from it 100%. And I think President Trump's endorsements are going to continue to be incredibly powerful and important, even beyond the three years he's going to have, an outsized, influence, on elections and who the players are going to be for as long as he's cognitive and healthy, and then the Trump family will, so Don Jr. And the rest will continue to have a significant impact on the, on the Republican, party and the future. So I think your point is well taken. I think, I think they should be, using this as an example and going back and say, okay, all the way back to 2022, who told me this was the guy to endorse. Now that doesn't mean that anyone that, you know, may have analyzed the race and decided that Joe was the right guy, that I don't necessarily agree with your conclusion at the end to get rid of everybody, everybody that recommended, him because, you know, I've made endorsements that, that backfired or were turned out to be the wrong guy or gal. so I would caution on how far to go with that, but certainly to analyze that whole process and say, where am I getting my recommendations? Where am I getting my, my analysis of the, of these races and possibly even decide, you know, how far down the ballot to go in endorsements. I mean, I'm glad that he's endorsed people like my friend Nate Schatzline and other people at the state legislative level. But it's impossible for the president to have enough information or to know all of those people all the way down to that level. Now, Congress, yes, in a congressional race, I think that that is, he should go that far. and so you gotta, man, you gotta, you gotta do exactly what you just said. Who's given me this advice and how did they miss my, that one? I want, I want, I want some, some, some explanations. Lucy, you got some explaining to do. So whoever it was that, that recommended Joe Kent to Donald, Trump all the way back to 2022, and certainly in the administration, after seeing him campaign for those two terms, now admit he ended up campaigning fairly well and saying things in his tweets and whatnot. that even made me think maybe I got it wrong. Maybe this guy's a patriot. He's, he's parodying a lot of the stuff that, that, that, that I think is, you know, good stuff, but totally, totally had him pegged from the beginning. And, and, yeah, good point, man. Good call. All right, we got more calls to get to when we come back, so stay with me. Rick Green you're listening to at the Core. We'll be back in a moment.
Preborn network clinics offer women clarity about the life growing inside them
>> Bobby Roza: Abortion moves fast, and right now in our communities, women are being pressured to make irreversible decisions. In moments of fear and panic, they're told to act quickly or risk losing support. Many feel they have no other option. But because of you, they do. At preborn network clinics, a woman receives with the abortion industry will never offer compassion without pressure. Clarity about the life growing inside her. Real support. To welcome her baby and the hope of the gospel, she's given a free ultrasound and space to breathe. And more than 80% of the time when, a mother sees her baby on a preborn ultrasound, she chooses life. This March, PreBorn is believing to save 6,800 babies. But it will take 124 partners saying yes every day. Here's my Pause your busy day for just a moment and become a yes right now. Just $28 provides one ultrasound. $140 helps five mothers. Every dollar helps save babies and share hope. To donate, dial £250 and say the keyword baby. That's £250, baby. Or visit preborn.com afr that's preborn.com afr

Rick Green: People need to know how dangerous AI is
>> Rick Green: Welcome back to at the Core with Walker Wildmon and Rick Green. I'm Rick Green, America's Constitution coach. Phone number is 888-589-8840. And Lori is up next from Iowa. Lori, go ahead.
>> Lori: Hi.
>> Rob: I just wanted to make a comment about the AI thing that seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. I'm older. I'm 78. I read Brave NewSong World in 1984 when I was in school, and science fiction becomes science fact. And, people need to know how dangerous AI is. that's just my personal opinion, but, I think a little research into it. People need to really know what it entails and how, just how dangerous it can be.
>> Rick Green: Well, I 100% agree. with the recommendation of reading 1984 and Brave NewSong World and Naked Communist and a lot of Books that honestly when Covid hit and the COVID tyranny started. Actually my kids were, I guess mostly still. The two oldest were in their 20s, the other two late teens. And I said man, we're doing the book club on the porch. And we read, went back and reread all of those. because you need to be reminded just of the nature of man and tyranny and what happens when government gets too much power and the signs, all of those things. Animal Farm, I mean every family should read those books. And anyone that wants to preserve freedom for the future needs to, needs to know what can happen on M. The AI thing. Yeah, I think, no question it will empower those who are evil with the ability to do all of the things that we read about in those, in those books. I don't know that we can stop the technology. And so therefore at this point it's one of those things where we have to say, okay, this technology is here, can be used for good or evil depending on, on whose hands it's in and, and what kind of you know, limitations can, can be placed on it. And so I'm trying to figure out what, you know, what, what, what are the best regulations, what are the best policies? I don't know yet, honestly. And, and I, I do think it's going to come down to who's programming it and it's going to come down to, you know, how much competition there is of the various AIs out there. but it is, it is spooky how much it can do. And, and I, I think about, you know, the whole Terminator series as well. Right. And at what point do you get you know, where it's one AI and it has the ability to access weapons and that kind of thing too. So it is, it is that those are real serious discussions to have. Very concerned about where it could go. Do not think it can be stopped completely. And therefore. Okay, how do we you know, and I'm not even sure, I mean I'm an Elon Musk fan on a lot of things. I'm not sure I am on this one. I think he's right about, you know, programming. It is important. I'm glad he came out with GROK because Chat GPT and the, and the others were having total leftist and anti capitalist input and I think GROK is more, more balanced from, from what I'm reading and being told and what little bit I've tapped into some of these things. So, anyway, great call, Lori. I don't have a solution on that one. I think we have to be definitely thinking it through, though. For sure. For sure.
Kelly in Florida says Stephen K. Bannon pushed Joe Kent
Okay, let's go to Kelly in Florida. Florida's up next. Kelly, go ahead.
>> Kelly: Hey, I hope that you can hear me.
>> Rick Green: I hear you with the wind noise. Go ahead.
>> Caroline: Okay, very good. So I just wanted to add to the comments that your first caller made regarding who would have been advising President Trump to take Joe Penn into his circle. I believe that that would be Stephen K. Bannon. I used to watch his show the War Room. Oh, my gosh, I couldn't miss an episode like, four hours a day, two in the morning, two at night, two hours on Saturday. And Stephen K. Bannon was, like, totally pushing Joe Kent on all of us. It's very interesting that he never mentioned that Joe Kent used to be a Democrat. And even though Stephen K. Bannon is not a part of Trump's, Cabinet, he definitely has had President Trump cheers, especially, you know, when you want to go back to, like, 2022. So I believe that that's where a lot of that came from.
>> Rick Green: Very, very interesting, Kelly. I have, I have not been, a listener or watcher of, of the War Room, obviously familiar with Bannon. I actually met him one time. and clearly there's a lot of bad stuff, you know, now with coming out with Bannon and the Epstein files and his making of that documentary for Epstein and, And essentially being a defender in terms of, of. Of the Epstein, image. And so I, I am trying to figure out what, what, what the real story is on all that. I'm. That's new to me, so I haven't been in that. In that circle. But I find that very, very interesting that you're saying, he was one of the main ones pushing Kent. I would be very curious to know, you know, what the. What the relationship was there and the background of that as, as more of this, more of this comes out. So thank you for that. Good. Good call.
Rob: I think dividing Texas into five states would be amazing
Okay, let's go to Texas. Rob. In Texas Europe next. Go, Rob.
>> Rob: Hey, brother Rick. Man, I sure love what you do.
>> Rick Green: Thank you.
>> Rob: I've got a. Ah. I want to get your take on something, Armando, and forgive me, the rest of the country for a moment, but this is Texas business. What do you say, Rick, of sub. Subdividing our state into five states for two reasons. One, emasculate Austin overnight. Number two, do away with the Robin Hood theft system. And number three, send 10 senators to Washington instead of two.
>> Rick Green: Yeah. You know, interestingly enough, Rob, I've thought about this. we've actually sat around the fire quite a bit in, especially during the COVID crackdowns and trying to figure out what was going to happen with the country, and talked about what that would look like. Because Texas has that in our, original. When we became a state and a lot of people used to run around Texas, I even used to say we're the only state that has it in our agreement that we can secede. that's not true. But what we did have in our agreement when we became a state was that we could subdivide into five states. And that step, normally to become an additional state, you have to have the, support of Congress you got. So Congress has to approve it. And every state, State whose boundaries are affected would have to approve it. What many, argue is that because this was in the original, agreement that was approved by Congress in 1845, if I've got my dates right, that that part has already been approved by Congress and that no state boundary would be affected. Arkansas and NewSong Mexico and, And and Oklahoma would not be affected. Those boundaries would be the same, that it would only be within the boundaries of Texas. And therefore just the Texas legislature doing this would be enough to divide us into five states. Now, the benefits that you mentioned are what we have always debated around our house and around the fire. those being that you end up with the additional senators, you end up with, frankly, some very conservative states, West Texas. And depending on how you divide it up and, you basically get out, away from Austin and Dallas and Houston. Being able to drive so much of Texas policy. Texas is not as red as everybody thinks it is. We're really, honestly purple. And our legislature is not conservative. It's got some very good conservative members, but they don't, have the majority. And so, I'll tell you what I like about it and then I'll tell you why I'm ultimately think it would never happen. I like the idea. I've often thought about the fact that I would love to have a west Texas state, that that could be super conservative, could be, you know, a bastion of conservatism and show the rest of the world how to do it right, not have any of the big cities in it. And. And I think it'd be amazing. I, don't think there's any way it would happen because Texas is so. We are such A state of mind. And, and there is such a, we have such a personality and, and, and pride in our ownership. I mean just the shape of Texas changing would be tough to sell. And, and I, I've, I've become less a fan of the idea as, as the revolution for freedom and the rebuilding of liberty has taken hold and people have awakened and, and more and more churches have gotten involved and all of these things have made me more optimistic about saving all 50 states and, and, and and ultimately all of Texas as well. So I'm less enamored with the idea now. What I will say Rob, is that I do still very much advocate for a lot of other states to divide. Texas I don't think would. And by the way, the senatorial gain I don't think would be, I think it would be a break even honestly, because I think you would end up with, if you broke into five states and had 10 senators from what was the former state of Texas, I think you would end up with probably three conservative states and two liberal states by the time you, you know, Houston would pro, basically be at its own state. You know, anyway, the way it would break out, you would probably end up with six conservative senators and four liberal senators, which means you don't have a net gain. Yeah. So you still end up with essentially where you were in terms of the US Senate and then Congress would probably break down about the same. So I don't think it actually ends up being a net gain in terms of what happens in, in in Washington D.C. it would, it would mostly be a net gain for those three conservative states to no longer have to battle the, you know, the, the, the city, you know, liberal influence. but anyway, I do think there are states like Washington State that should split. I think, I think the greater Idaho movement up there is a good thing. But I think it's even better if eastern Washington is its own state and western Washington state. I do think Oregon would, should split. I think California should split. I don't think you have the same, the same pride of the state as a whole. and there's more of an ability there and more of a desire. They're so different. Eastern Washington and western Washington. you know, Portland is so left wing dominated now and yet you have these rural areas of Oregon. Now you could argue it's that way in every state because it is the blue cities versus the rural areas typically. And that goes back to the founders. I mean they knew that Jefferson, and Rush have this great correspondence back and forth, calling the cities pestilential to the morals and health of man, that they're like abscesses on the human body where all the impurities of mankind flow. That's a quote from, from. I, think it was Rush. It might have been. No, it was Rush because he was the medical doctor that talked like that. so, so that's been always the problem, the big cities. And it's just the nature of man. You, the depravity of man. You cram a bunch of people in, in one place and they're going to be more depraved. You get out in the country, you see God's hand and you see creation, and you have to be responsible for what you do. And it's just, it's always better in terms of the type of citizens that it produces. So anyway, I do think, listen, the founders were they, they were concerned about how big the population could get. And a republic still work, a constitutional republic still work. Some of them thought 50 million would be the max that you could get to. We're at 330 million, folks. Texas is at what, 30 million by itself. California 55 million or whatever it is. So I, I don't think the experiment's over. I think it would be wise. I think it'd be good for the liberals in washing to have, you know, western Washington be their state and great for the conservatives to have eastern Washington be their state. Now listen, I got friends that would be stuck that are in Seattle and in some of the more blue liberal areas that totally disagree with what I'm saying. They don't want to have to move to eastern Washington or the state of Spokane or whatever it would become, in order to live in freedom. But, you know, this is the way of the world. This is what happens. This is, I mean, look at Israel and Judah and, and, and the 12 tribes splitting up and, and I mean, this is how things end up happening. I don't want the nation of, of, of the United States to split. I think that becomes a target. If, if America were to split, and I know I'm getting off topic a little bit here, but if America were to split, if the 50 states were to break up, if you were to end up with three or four nations out of that, I'm telling you, the west coast, the left coast, it would be very vulnerable and potentially become a chicom, you know, Chinese communist dominated area. And then they're right on our border. so I think you have to really think through a lot of those things.
For these people that say, hey, let's just break up and Texas secede
For these people that say, hey, let's just break up and Texas secede and all this kind of stuff, I don't think that's a good path. I think you've got to fight for all 50 states. I think you've got to fight to hold the union together and restore liberty and have a revival and a reformation of liberty and good values and win all 50 states. That's what I'm fighting for. but within that, even winning that, I think it's okay for states to split up and ultimately have a legislature and a society, community where most decisions are made. That's the system of federalism. That's the experiment the founders actually supported. have a state that supports your values and instead of having these blue cities dominate so many of these states, let's break them off into their own state and then let the, you know, the rural areas govern, themselves. That's, that's my take on it. I don't think that's crazy. I don't think that's outside the realm of possibility. I think that can be done. And that's why you have these movements. The Jefferson movement in Northern California, the Greater Idaho movement in Oregon and, Washington. but it takes time for those ideas to cement and marinate and takes a lot of political action. It takes people getting involved in saying enough is enough. And so if that's something you want to put your energy into in some of those places, I think you should. I think those are worthy causes, I don't think. Back to our original caller, Rob's comment, about Texas. I, I just don't think it'll happen in Texas unless. Unless we don't solve the immigration problem. And if we don't solve the immigration problem and you've got all these Muslim communities and other communities that are anti American and incompatible with Western civilization and a constitutional republic, if that continues, then, then you may end up with Dallas and Houston and Austin, San Antonio potentially, becoming so bad that you. That you do end up splitting up. I hope that's not the direction, though. I think we can. I think. I think revival is in the land, folks. Let's turn this thing around. Let's disciple the harvest and win this country back to the Lord and back to freedom. Out of time. Thanks for listening. You've been listening to at the Core with Walker Watman and Rick Greene.
