Reclaiming Our Nation: Faith, Values, and Vigilance
Summary
In this discussion, we delve into the critical importance of the upcoming election, which we refer to as D-Day. This is a pivotal moment for our nation, a time to reclaim our country in the name of Jesus. We emphasize that this is not about aligning with political figures or movements that stray from our core values. Our guest, Terry Blackburn, shares insights into the political system, highlighting the significance of state constitutions alongside the U.S. Constitution. This understanding is crucial as we navigate the complexities of governance and the potential for manipulation by those in power.
We explore the notion that the devil seeks to destroy economies, while God's desire is to reset them towards prosperity. This is particularly relevant in the context of potential economic manipulations, such as stock market crashes, which could be used to destabilize the nation. We must remain vigilant and prayerful, resisting any attempts to undermine the transition of power or the economic stability of our country.
The conversation also touches on the manipulation of weather patterns, a tactic allegedly used by the deep state to further their agenda. This manipulation is part of a broader strategy to weaken America, making it susceptible to globalist influences. The "Make America Great Again" movement is often vilified because it stands in opposition to these efforts.
A significant portion of our discussion focuses on the sanctity of life and the alarming statistics surrounding abortion in the U.S. The staggering number of abortions, particularly among the black community, is a call to action. We must recognize the hypocrisy of those who claim to champion human rights while simultaneously supporting policies that devalue life. The decline in birth rates and the promotion of abortion as a solution are part of a larger agenda to diminish the population and weaken the nation.
Finally, we address the false empathy propagated by certain political platforms, which claim to protect the vulnerable but often do the opposite. Women and children, historically the most vulnerable populations, are not being safeguarded. Instead, policies that allow men to compete in women's sports or deny the rights of the unborn are detrimental. We must awaken to the reality of these issues and stand firm in our faith and values.

Quotes
1) "The devil likes to destroy economies while God's passion is to reset them. Yes. And bring them into a place of prosperity. i what about what about them declaring sometimes type of emergency of like in wartime where then there is no transition of power i could see them attempting to do that i could also see them still having the 25th amendment in their back pocket and then somehow messing with things there to extend the timeline or try to you know stop the transition of power the last thing i think is not necessarily political but it's very much involved in economics but uh we have to watch the stock market."

3) "You can't have declining birth rates and then the government spending more money. Guess what that means? Somebody has to foot the bill. Yeah, but the wealthy, there's only 700 billionaires in the US. They're already paying 40, 50 % of the tax rate. So if they're killing off the middle class, guess who gets left? They're left with the bill. You. Terry, I don't know how else to explain this to people, but they don't care. And I know there's a lot of people passing around. You've heard it. You've heard it, Terry, as well, that, oh, this isn't just about one issue. How is it not when they're literally killing off the population of the US? It is the issue." [21:07] (42 seconds)

[21:43] (60 seconds)
5) "Like you were saying, Terry. You called it fake empathy? Yeah. Well, it's interesting to me that the very people that the Democratic Party say that they want to help, they're actually hurting. Yes. And I think because of the platform they stand on, there have been two populations that have, since the beginning of time, have always been the most vulnerable. And they are not protecting them even to this day. That's women and children. Yes. how, if you're allowing a man to fight in a woman's sport, how is that protecting women?" [26:28] (36 seconds)
