Up next. How woud you know
0:02
called part of the If
0:05
brutal honesty makes you uncomfortable, then
0:07
this podcast isn't for you, because
0:10
today you're going to hear some straight talk from someone
0:12
who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. Passionate,
0:15
blunt, conservative, patriotic. The
0:17
outspoken Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina,
0:19
Mark Robinson is in the House,
0:22
a rising superstar in the Republican Party
0:25
who has taken a GOP by storm.
0:27
This is outllowed with Gianno called well, Lieutenant
0:33
Governor, is really a pleasure to
0:35
have you. I've learned about
0:38
you recently and I follow your Facebook
0:40
page and I've been seeing the videos, and I
0:42
get really excited and fired up when
0:45
I hear you speak. So thank you for all
0:47
you're doing, not just for the party but the country.
0:49
Well, thank you for having me here. We appreciate
0:52
all those all those kind words. We certainly
0:54
do. Thank you absolutely. Before
0:56
we get into politics and the issues of the day,
0:58
I want to talk to you about your upbringing. I
1:01
know you face adversity with an abusive
1:03
father and you found yourself in foster care. Tell
1:06
us what life was like growing up, Where
1:08
were you raised, how did you overcome a rough childhood?
1:11
Well? Uh, born
1:14
and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina.
1:16
Uh, my childhood
1:18
when I looked back on my childhood, I had a happy childhood.
1:21
But it was right with all those things.
1:23
My father was never abusive towards
1:25
me or my siblings, but he was very
1:28
abusive towards my mother. Uh.
1:30
They had a very contentious, very violent relationship.
1:34
He was an alcoholic. Uh. And
1:36
he died when I was around twelve. When
1:38
well, when I was twelve, I was in the fifth grade
1:41
when he died my mom. That left
1:43
my mom with five
1:45
children in total. All of us were in school range
1:48
from twelfth grade the first grade. UM,
1:51
and so uh. You know,
1:53
she had a choice. She could either go to work or
1:55
or or go to the go towards welfare.
1:57
She chose to work. She was a custodian.
2:00
She did that for a number, for gosh,
2:03
for almost thirty years. She was a coustodian. And
2:05
that's how she took care of us. And I saw her
2:07
have her priorities in order and do things
2:09
on that custodian salary that the people would
2:12
say was impossible, but she did it. And
2:14
that taught me a great deal about what
2:17
it takes to make it in life. What it takes to make it in
2:19
life, It's for you to go out and earn your
2:21
living and four your destiny. And
2:24
that's what my mom did, and that's the example
2:26
from shows. She also had a very strong
2:28
faith in God, which I you know, I sustained
2:30
her as well, so uh the
2:33
primary source for strength as a matter of fact.
2:35
So uh that was that was what my offbering
2:37
was like like and that's what I learned. And this is
2:39
uh as like I said, it's what helped leave me to where
2:41
I am right now. Wow. And
2:43
the faith in God, I think is the critical
2:46
point. And I've seen you talk about that and viral
2:49
clip after viral clip about how how
2:51
how you believe and why you believe and
2:54
why you believe this is the best country in an entire
2:56
world and how God Jesus
2:58
Is really had his hands on America.
3:01
Can you expound on that please? Well,
3:04
you know people people don't like
3:06
to admit it. You know a lot of people that don't
3:08
like to admit the fact that the reason why uh,
3:11
this country is has been blessed because
3:14
people pray for God to bless this nation.
3:16
We say it in our songs, you know, we say
3:19
it in our in our founding documents.
3:21
We we say that every everywhere, everywhere you turn
3:23
around. We always give God credit for
3:25
for what he's done and what he can do and what he will
3:27
do. And I think because of that, he hears it
3:29
and he blessed. And of course we're not perfect
3:31
people. We're not perfect people. We're not a
3:34
perfect nation. We never have been, and we don't claim
3:36
to be. But we ultimately we know who
3:38
we is we have to answer to, and
3:40
we know who it is that oh that we owe the credit
3:42
to, and that's who, that's who we give that credit to. And
3:45
as far as it's being the greatest nation on earth,
3:47
you know, I don't see Mary.
3:49
I've read this this this morning on social media,
3:51
and it's true. America is so great that
3:53
even the people that hate it, hate America,
3:55
won't leave. That's how great America
3:58
is. The people who claim to hate it leads. Uh,
4:01
this is this is still the greatest snakes on our still
4:04
a place where you can make dreams come true. And
4:06
uh, that's I mean, that's just the way it is. The
4:08
proof is, like they say, the proof is in
4:11
the Putt indeed it is. And
4:14
like I mentioned before, viral
4:16
video after viral video, you
4:19
really arrived on the national scene
4:21
for a lot of people in two thousand and eighteen,
4:25
UM, and it was because of a viral
4:27
video of you defending gun rights in the second
4:29
Amendment of the meeting at the Greensboro City Council
4:32
And that got you noticed. And
4:34
from what I understand from watching the interview with
4:37
you and Governor Mike Huckleby,
4:39
UM, it got over two hundred million views,
4:42
he said, I
4:44
mean from
4:46
there, I mean you talked about what
4:48
people told you you could do in terms of creating a brand
4:51
for yourself and making a lot of
4:53
money because you're this you know, this fresh
4:55
star before millions of people,
4:58
but you chose to serve instead. And what got
5:00
you into politics. I've been
5:02
politically aware, what I call politically
5:05
aware for many many years. That
5:07
started way back and uh
5:09
the mid nineties, I guess. Uh.
5:12
I had a friend who uh
5:14
challenged me to think better and uh,
5:17
you know, to do my own research. And I
5:19
did that and once I did, I found out that I
5:21
was a conservative and I always had been a conservative.
5:24
And then I started looking at the two parties,
5:26
the Republican Party Democratic Party, and
5:29
learning about the differences between the platforms
5:31
and the differences between the histories of the two
5:33
parties, and of course I logically fell
5:35
on the on the right hand side of the Republican
5:37
Party. And uh so i'd like
5:40
to tell folks, you know, uh uh,
5:42
being involved in politics is not it's
5:44
not really well, you have you
5:47
have an option, but here are the options.
5:49
You can make the determination of how you're
5:52
governing and who governed you or somebody else
5:54
can make that determination. And somebody else
5:56
is making that determination, it's probably
5:58
not going to turn out good for you. The founders
6:01
made this country so that the people could decide
6:03
who who it is that would govern them.
6:06
And when we don't take that responsibility series
6:08
we end up with people who don't have our best interests
6:11
at hard. We need to make sure that we we take
6:13
it serious and politics needs to be something we
6:15
all need to be involved. And that's like
6:17
I said that about involved, absolutely,
6:20
And I love your story reminds me of
6:23
my own, which I talked about my book Taking for Granted.
6:25
I love to send you a copy of that. But yeah,
6:28
just learning the distinctions between the parties and
6:30
realizing that oftentimes, especially
6:32
as black conservatives. I'm not
6:34
sure what you're experiencing upbringing was,
6:36
but mine on the South Side of Chicago. I realized
6:38
quickly after our research the two party systems
6:41
in the history that we largely have been
6:43
lied to about the Republican Party
6:45
and the history Democrats have did such
6:47
a brilliant marketing job to make people
6:49
think that the Republican Party was just a racist
6:52
party. They created slavery, Jim Crown, all
6:54
these other things, and to find out none of
6:56
that was true was actually the Democratic Party was
6:58
pretty astounding to me and made me really,
7:01
uh question the people that were around
7:03
me. Did you have the same experience, Yeah,
7:06
well, uh, honestly, yeah. I
7:08
mean, you know, when you really look at the stories
7:10
and you just you're just blown away by
7:12
how much misinformation there is out
7:14
there. You know, Uh, just
7:17
one small thing you could take
7:19
out of that you take a look at, uh,
7:22
or something like the epithet that's thrown
7:24
Uncle Tom. People throw
7:26
that as an epithet and then and
7:28
and many of the people that use that word
7:30
don't have a clue is that where it came from.
7:33
They don't understand anything about
7:35
who the character Uncle Tom was in the book
7:38
and what he did, and they don't
7:40
they don't understand it all the Uncle Tom with somebody
7:42
who sacrificed his life because he
7:44
refused to turn away,
7:46
to turn turn over to runaway
7:49
girls would run away from the horrible master
7:52
Simon legree. They don't have a clue
7:54
that in that book that he was beaten to death
7:56
by two other black slaves
7:58
who would do anything to it, including
8:01
beating a good man to death at
8:03
the behalf of Simon mcgree.
8:05
The evil matter when you read
8:07
that book and you understand that book, it's one
8:09
of the books that opened my eyes up more than anything
8:12
about what you just said about how the Democratic
8:14
Party and the leftists have turned this entire
8:17
thing around. You can see a micro calls
8:19
him of all their lives and coming to understand
8:21
what that book and that name represents.
8:23
And that's just one example of the way
8:26
that that folks have been lied to and this whole
8:28
thing has been turned upside down. Only say it and
8:30
and of course we're talking about from a historic
8:32
perspective, but those lives continue today.
8:35
And I want to play this audio for
8:37
you that a majority
8:39
with James Clapporn was just on
8:42
MSNBC, and he was talking about
8:44
the funded police movement, which we know a
8:46
lot of progressives folks just generally
8:48
on the left said was the best
8:51
way in terms of creating uh
8:54
more fairness and equality when it comes
8:56
to policing in America, and
8:58
um, what they believe is that the best
9:00
route forward. If you would just take
9:02
a listen, I want to get your response. On the other side,
9:05
defunded police is a non start,
9:07
even the black people. And if you don't think that's
9:09
true, then look at the results
9:11
of what just happened in York sitting this election.
9:14
So the proof is in the pudding. I
9:17
know what I'm talking about. I talked to people
9:19
every day and defund
9:21
the police. Is it cool
9:24
around the Democratic Party? What
9:26
do you What do you think about that? From the majority
9:28
with Clyburn, it just goes
9:30
to show you how ludicrous the statement is
9:33
defunded police. You know,
9:35
even if this guy, a progressive Democrat,
9:37
is saying it's hard for you know, it's again.
9:40
You know, I've told some ideas, uh
9:43
everything that the left has it
9:45
counted. They've cut counted climate
9:47
change. All the predictions they've made
9:49
about climate change have not come true. They
9:52
they are now their their accounting critical
9:54
race theory. We know those things are not true.
9:57
There now they now counted defunding
9:59
the police. We see the horrible effects of that. Everything
10:02
that they tell it's almost like a
10:04
collection of I told you so. We
10:07
conservatives were screaming from the raptors.
10:10
If we contained this anti police rhetoric,
10:12
we're gonna see crime go through
10:15
the route. It's gonna go through the roof.
10:17
And what has happened. Crime has
10:19
gone through the roof. So you
10:22
know, Uh, it's it's no. It's actually
10:24
shocking to hear him say that. Uh,
10:27
admit that in public, but he's absolutely
10:29
right. It's just it is one of the dumbest
10:31
things, uh, one of
10:34
the top five dumbest things I think there's
10:36
ever been proposed, uh,
10:38
in in my lifetime and possibly in
10:40
the history of this nation. We're talking to
10:42
Mark Robinson and Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina
10:44
and rising superstar within
10:47
the GOK. We've got much more with
10:49
him right after a quick break. You
11:03
know what's interesting to me, and I gotta tell you,
11:05
I'm gonna be just straight up honest with you.
11:08
There's you know, obviously a lot of figures
11:10
and figures in are in the Republican Party,
11:13
but you, in my opinion, you
11:15
and Rhon de Santa's are the most
11:18
exciting two people
11:20
in the Republican Party, and I think have the most
11:22
rolls, robust opportunity
11:25
for the party. I listened to speeches of yours
11:27
and it sounds like a Baptist preacher. And
11:30
I'm gonna tell you, I think that the words
11:32
in which you use, in the way in which you disseminate
11:35
your message is one in which would
11:37
resonate with all coalitions,
11:39
all constituencies, black folks, white
11:41
folks, expanding folks, whatever. You're just a
11:43
truth teller. Why do you think your stars
11:46
is rised so quickly in
11:49
the in the GOP and national and nationally
11:52
it's a matter of people have been hungry for
11:54
somebody to stand up and just tell the truth. And
11:57
too many people are afraid to stand up and tell the
11:59
truth. Know we we see it all the time. We
12:01
see folks that you know you you know
12:03
what's right. You don't people know exactly
12:06
what's right. Then you have a room full of people
12:08
sitting there in in a in a collect
12:10
why it would be a school board, whether it be a city
12:12
council, whether it be Congress, and
12:15
everybody in the room will know what the right thing
12:17
to do is, and nobody will stand
12:19
up and do the right thing. That's
12:21
what we need in this country. We need people that are unafraid
12:24
to stand up and just tell the truth. And sometimes,
12:26
yeah, the truth hurts and the truth sounds
12:29
ugly, but sometimes just needs to be
12:31
told. And that's what people want to hear. They want to
12:33
hear somebody tell the truth. Now, I've
12:35
told people several times, you know that my my goal
12:37
is not to get elected in any office. That's
12:39
not the ultenate goal. Ulten and goals
12:41
to leave people with the truth and let people
12:43
here here the truth. And
12:46
if they don't want to, they want to reject the truth hunts,
12:48
and so be it, so be it reject
12:50
the truth. But that's that's that's gonna
12:52
that's gonna be what I'm gonna tell people all the time, and
12:55
that it turns out that that's
12:57
what the majority of people out there they want to
12:59
hear, soolutely it is. Now, you're
13:01
lieutenant governor. Now in North Carolina,
13:03
the governor is a Democrat. You're well
13:06
respected. Now tell
13:08
me what what what why did you choose to run
13:10
for Lieutenant governor. Well, uh,
13:12
we looked at running a lot of officers,
13:15
a lot of different officers, and when
13:17
we looked at this office in particular, we thought
13:19
it was you know, it suited our skill set
13:22
just right. What the job entails
13:24
uh uh you know a lot of what this
13:26
job entails is having what they call a bully pull
13:28
pit to be able to push, uh,
13:31
push back against things and push for things
13:33
that you uh, that you stand for. And
13:35
we said, hey, you know, we're pretty
13:37
good at that. I think we'll we'll, we'll, we'll,
13:39
we'll try to step into this role. And so far we've
13:41
done well at it. Uh and we
13:44
uh, we're gonna continue to try to do well at
13:46
because you know, the
13:48
states it's doing well right
13:50
now, doing very good. But I believe this state
13:52
can do a whole lot better in the future.
13:55
But I think what it's gonna take to do a whole lot better
13:57
in the future is to continue with the conservative
13:59
prince will that have gotten us to
14:01
this point. And uh so
14:04
we decided to get in there and help these conservatives
14:06
here in North Carolina. They helped fight to make this state even
14:09
better. Yeah. Absolutely, Now
14:11
I tell you people don't just love you, they're
14:13
genuinely excited about your political future.
14:16
So with that being said, what is your future in
14:18
the GOP? Do you have any aspirations
14:21
beyond lieutenant governor at this point?
14:23
Well, we're sitting down with our folks
14:25
and we're talking about what we think the next step
14:27
is the best step, next best
14:29
step will be. We have to determined
14:32
that yet, But as soon as we do, we're
14:34
gonna let the people know and we're
14:36
gonna try to rally wherever it is we need
14:38
a rally to get to that point. Uh.
14:41
But we like said, we have not made that decision
14:43
firmly yet, but we will here pretty soon. Okay,
14:45
so not firmly. But I
14:48
have to ask, and I'm sure a lot of people are
14:50
asking you this question, what
14:52
about if not the top
14:54
job that being president, would consider being
14:56
someone's running mate if they asked you, maybe
14:58
round the sentence if he was to choose to run, Well,
15:01
you know, right now, nothing is off the table.
15:04
What I want to do is I want to go to a place where
15:06
we can be the most effective for the causes
15:08
that we believe in. And if that should
15:10
happen to be, no matter what that
15:12
that where that place might be.
15:15
We're all for something of that, of
15:17
that nature. We would evaluate it and we
15:19
would feel like that, Uh, it was
15:21
good with me and good with my family and good with
15:23
God. We go that direction. But what
15:25
we want to do is find out a place where we're gonna be absolute
15:28
most effective. Absolutely, And I can
15:30
appreciate that. And I'm glad that you're
15:33
thinking about that because there's a lot of folks.
15:35
I'm sure we put a lot of a
15:37
lot of time and energy behind your
15:39
candidacy, with with whatever role you
15:41
may choose, I want to switch
15:43
gears and move the President Biden.
15:45
You said last month that President biden Is administration
15:49
are turning America into a socialist
15:52
hell whole, and you urge fellow
15:54
Republicans to run to the
15:56
trouble. What did you mean by that? Uh,
15:59
don't arn away from it. Don't run away from
16:01
it, run to it. There's trouble. There's
16:04
you know, we have we have uh,
16:06
we have enemy. We have enemy
16:09
inside our camp. We have a we have an enemy
16:11
that's no longer outside the gate. They
16:13
are inside the wire. They are actively
16:15
working against this nation. I believe to
16:17
bring this nation down, to bring what
16:19
Barack Obama calls UH
16:22
fundamental change to our to
16:24
our system of government, and to our way of life.
16:27
We have to actively go to those
16:29
people and confront those people and
16:31
confront that problem. We have to work
16:33
to make sure we get those people out of office,
16:36
and we have to work to make sure we get people
16:38
in offices that are gonna have this country's best interests
16:40
at our i e. Making sure that capitalism,
16:43
our constitution, and all the good things that
16:46
come from and continue to stand in this nation. So
16:48
we need to confront it headlong.
16:50
We do not need to be afraid this whole thing is shrinking
16:52
away and hoping that somebody else to
16:55
do it. That time is over. We gotta step
16:57
up it. We gotta take this calls on them. We gotta be
16:59
the want to do them. Mark, I absolutely agree
17:01
with you. Let's dig into that further after a break.
17:08
What are your thoughts of the current Republican Party,
17:10
Because I'll tell you, you know, Democrats,
17:14
Uh, in spite of their failings
17:16
and all this other stuff in the policy. We
17:18
can talk about the cultural wars, we can talk about any number
17:20
of things. They seem to be kind
17:23
of tough in a way that they all
17:25
lie cheat steal, it doesn't matter,
17:27
and they'll look you in their face and say, oh,
17:29
no, Republicans want to defund the police,
17:32
not us. Like it's like, no, Republicans
17:34
were the party of slavery, not us. No, like
17:36
they would say all these different things, which
17:38
they just said something three months ago or maybe
17:41
even the day before. They don't have a problem
17:44
doing any of those things. And we got
17:46
some Republicans. I think back to the Hunter
17:48
Biden situation. Hunter Biden using an
17:50
inn word. We see what happened with um
17:53
the congressman when he said something about
17:55
white supremacy to the New York Times, when the
17:57
white supremacy become a bad thing,
18:00
nationalism or something like that he said. Anyway,
18:02
they stripped him of his comedian assignments, essentially
18:05
put him out the party. Hunter Biden.
18:08
You know, no no comments from the White
18:10
House, no comments from any Democratic leader.
18:12
You see Sheldon white House, the senator,
18:15
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse belonging to
18:17
a quote, as it was reported, all
18:20
white social club, but white only. That's
18:22
what it was called, a white only social club. And
18:24
they won't say anything about it. But you know, Republicans,
18:28
we gotta be do the right thing. Put folks
18:30
out the party, and you know, they can
18:32
do and say whatever they want. What is
18:34
the party need to do? And that's right, the
18:36
right thing to do. Let me comment on that. But
18:39
what is it that the Republican Party needs
18:41
to do in this day and time when you've got so many
18:43
lives coming from the left and also
18:45
the liberal media who perpetrate those same
18:47
lives. They have to be bold
18:49
and telling the truth, just like President Trump was
18:51
President Trump over Frank Stamp to tell the truth.
18:54
That's why people love. There are too many
18:56
folks who, uh
18:58
say, well, you know, we shouldn't say that
19:00
because that will have the wrong kind of tone. Look,
19:03
how do you call somebody a liar? If
19:06
they're somebody is a proven liar.
19:08
The only way to call that person a liar effectively
19:11
is to say, hey, you're a liar. You
19:14
know, if somebody is a proven bigger
19:16
and has proven it time and time again that
19:18
they would have said bigger at things, and
19:21
if push bigger at policy, how do
19:23
you call that person the biggert? You say, hey,
19:25
this person is a biggert who pushed bigger at
19:27
policies. It's time for
19:29
for for conservatives to stop being timid
19:31
with the truth. I say it like this, we
19:34
gotta be as bold with the truth
19:36
as they are with their lives, and often
19:39
times we are not. We've kept
19:41
to around things, and we don't want to attack. We
19:43
don't want to punch, and be quite
19:45
frankly, we don't want to kick. Sometimes
19:48
we need to do all all of that and more
19:51
because there are people out there right now are
19:53
doing things that are absolutely
19:56
egregious. These people out of here to the pushing CRT
19:59
and pushing these on the police. And I've
20:01
already openly claimed to be so, and
20:03
already openly proudly for claim to be
20:05
socialists and tell us that they want to
20:07
change the minds of our children, and tell us they
20:10
want to bring the country down. We need to fight
20:12
those folks with everything that we have, and those people
20:14
that are not doing it should be ashamed themselves.
20:16
I can agree with that. I appreciate
20:18
that sentiment, and and thank
20:21
you for mentioning CRT also known as critical
20:23
race theory for those who may not know, I
20:25
want to ask you another question about
20:27
a statement you made last month. You said the following,
20:30
the government cannot give the American dream,
20:32
but the government will give you as false hope,
20:35
and that will give you a nightmare. The American
20:37
dream only comes through hard work, stead fastness,
20:40
and standing up and controlling your
20:42
own destiny, not allowing the
20:44
government to do that, but doing
20:46
it yourself. I agree with
20:48
that message wholeheartedly. What can be done
20:51
to push more Black Americans to fully
20:53
embrace this message and stop
20:56
voting for the big government Democrats and
20:58
start voting for conservatives. Of things
21:00
we can do is, you know, we could might remind
21:02
folks of their of their history. You
21:04
know, it's funny when
21:07
things in this nation were at their worst
21:10
for black people. Black people
21:12
were at their best when we
21:14
were in our own neighborhoods. Uh,
21:16
and we were confining those neighborhoods by segregation.
21:19
When we were on our own schools and we were confined
21:21
to those schools by segregation. Uh.
21:23
We had uh homes
21:27
with two two parents. We
21:29
had uh doctors,
21:31
lawyers. Uh. We had we were
21:33
building schools, we were building we built
21:35
churches, we built whole communities.
21:38
Uh. Those trends started
21:41
to change once we turned our power
21:43
over to the federal government and start believing
21:46
that the federal government was in control
21:48
of our destiny, our fortunes
21:50
started to change the single
21:53
parenthood start going through the roof. UH,
21:56
Crime in our neighborhoods start going through
21:58
the roof, Our education numbers start dropping
22:00
dramatically. UH. In order to get
22:02
those things back, we've got to understand that we
22:05
are not to rely on the federal government. We
22:07
are to rely on each
22:09
other, on our families, on our communities.
22:12
Sure, the federal government has a role to play
22:14
because they set they set the rules,
22:16
they make the rules, so to speak,
22:19
and they're supposed to be the guardians of our constitution
22:21
to keep our freedoms. But the
22:24
real question is not what the federal government
22:26
will do for you, is what will you do with
22:28
the rights that you have. That's the real
22:30
question, and that's what we've got to get
22:33
back to, not even what you can do for
22:35
your country, really because we want to do
22:37
it for our country. But I believe that the best
22:39
thing that you can do for this country,
22:42
the best thing you can do for this country, the best
22:44
thing you can do for your state, your
22:46
your your your city, and your neighborhood
22:49
and your family, is by understanding
22:51
that you have to do what's right with
22:53
your You have to do what's right
22:56
with your rights, and if you do
22:58
that, Uh, I think that we
23:00
get folks to to really believe in that, do
23:02
that. I think that's how we get back to that good place
23:05
we were wanting. Now, before
23:07
I let you go and thank you for that, for sharing
23:09
that with me or with us, rather
23:12
before I let you go, I know you're you're a man of
23:14
faith. You've been vocal about it. I
23:16
want to ask you just two
23:19
questions. Here's a two part question. I want to know
23:22
what role does your faith playing your life
23:24
and in your politics? And
23:26
does it concern you that it
23:28
seems to be that our country is becoming increasingly
23:31
secular and outright hostile to
23:33
faith. Well, you
23:35
know, you know, wisdom,
23:38
Wisdom comes from from from faith.
23:41
Wisdom comes from God. Where where
23:43
there's no God, there's no real wisdom. That's
23:45
bottom line. Where there is
23:48
no God, there's no wisdom. Because
23:50
the very first step in in in in wisdom
23:53
is having a fear of God. That's the
23:55
very first that's the very first step in with So
23:58
where there is no there's old faith in God,
24:00
there's no wisdom. And I'm convinced to that you can see
24:02
it in the chaos. Has been bread in
24:04
our school system that has pushed God out of the
24:06
public square, which leads me to the second
24:09
part that the more we continue to push God,
24:11
in the principles of God, out
24:13
of the public square, out of politics,
24:15
out of education, out of mass media,
24:17
out of out of all of our businesses, we're
24:20
just gonna see more and more chaos.
24:22
Never in my lifetime, but I would have thought
24:24
that human beings would be confused about
24:26
whether or not somebody's a man or woman. But
24:29
here we are, and while we're there, we're there
24:31
because people simply refuse to acknowledge
24:33
God's creation, simple creations.
24:36
There are men and there are women,
24:38
and people refuse to acknowledge that. And because
24:41
of that, we're now living in the age of chaos
24:44
right again. Well,
24:46
you know what I want to tell you.
24:48
I thank you for for giving us
24:50
some time today to to learn more about
24:52
you. And I know for those who
