1:13 "[Applause]" foreign and he's carrying that's a man that's a man that's a pastor that's a question yeah so anyway wow you know we weren't really sure when uh when uh passage for Trump and Jackson pulled this thing together actually probably six months ago or so when he first uh when he first had the idea and then bringing this together here so as you know as I look around and I see people in the audience that I have seen many many times I think this is our 21st event that we have done with these reawakened American tours you know

2:08 yeah which is amazing because when you think about it is this is like a family and I you know I I met I saw a remit Nadine and Arlene Louis and Nella and Ashton Melissa Laurie I mean charlita Gene Robbie made all these people that I know from just the last couple of years where you know people from all over the country the young lady from Los Angeles I mean they came out from Los Angeles today others from Northern California others from Oklahoma from Kentucky from St Louis from Dallas San Antonio Kansas City Connecticut Rhode Island Massachusetts Hawaii

2:57 I love it you know there's a there's a unit there's a unit in the military it's called the 82nd Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division you know we're going through this we're going through this so talk about a spiritual cultural shift in our country we're going through this whole thing in the military where the changing the names of basins right over our military bases I mean when you when you rip history out of the fabric of a of a country like ours that's that's a sign that they're really trying to change things folks and and um at Fort Bragg North Carolina there's people from North Carolina here tonight so

3:39 so the so my wife and I we just we've been married 42 years this past week three years "[Applause]" fun I always say you gotta like the one you love yeah that's a good counsel a Street Council see she's yelling at me right now so but this idea of this you know I just I you know it's like because of everybody from where where you are coming from and in this unit that I served a long time in jumped out of a lot of airplanes went to a lot of a lot of battlefields with them it's called the 82nd Airborne

4:23 Division and and they're they're known as the all-americans they're known as the all-americans and that name actually came from World War One when we were battling in World War one and and they started to form these different units to go over to fight you know the the the Hessians and up and the Huns at that time right the uh the idea was people were coming in to Fort Bragg North Carolina a place called Fayetteville North Carolina even then when they were coming in it was a straight leg in between and now it's an Airborne infantry in it and at the time they started looking around it was some Sergeant who finally said we know where he's where are you from where are you

5:02 from where you're from and the first Commanding General that came in he was asked well you know we're supposed to designate this unit we're supposed to give it a name where we have a Heritage of the of numbers so it's going to be called the 82nd but what should we title ourselves on some young sergeant said we're we're from All Over America and the guy said well why don't we call ourselves the all-americans fascinating story because it really tells about Who We Are okay we are all Americans and the one thing that is happening in this country and it's happening because it's intentional it's intentional this is not this is you know

5:41 I mean and I don't want to get into something if I get into the into the the biblical side of things Leon knows this bishop Leon knows I get in all kinds of trouble "[Music]" you know but what I do know is I know Warfare I know Warfare I know physical Warfare I know emotional Warfare I know intellectual Warfare and when I see it I know it spiritual warfare is and we are involved because it's this it's this total Destruction of the fabric of who we are and it's not you know happenstance I mean I talk to people all the time all over the country all over the country and that camera right there this this uh gentleman

6:26 that's in front of me here with the blue shirt and that's that's actually live streaming over to Europe tonight and there's a lot "[Applause]" of things because when we think about ourselves you know in the 15 and 1600s 15 and 1600s man when we talk about biblical things how is this country formed because there was religious persecution going on in Europe I mean people were being enslaved they were being killed beheady you name it talk about torture and persecution for a couple of hundred years you know and then all of a sudden there there started to be this this movement of people because they were they wanted

7:10 to be able to practice they want to be able to do the things that we do in this country there's a couple hundred years before this country was ever formed there's a very famous sermon a very famous sermon I love this sermon and I think it was 16 30 a guy a bishop by the name of uh Winthrop or a pastor by the name of Winthrop and they have about six ships and they're coming out of England they're gonna you know they're gonna depart anyone because they're basically being thrown out in some sense and they're going to get on that ship and they're going to travel

7:41 across the dangerous Atlantic 1630. okay and winter was his name he ended up becoming the first mayor of Boston not the time so he gives he gives this sermon and in the sermon it's a beautiful sermon you should look it up Winthrop is his name the sermon was I think 1630 or 1631 and he talks through his congregation and there's a couple of things that come out of that sermon and he uses this phrase we are going in search of a New England okay so he that's where that's coined we're going in search of a New England okay a new place because they were being persecuted wasn't just in England at the

8:23 time it was all throughout Europe the other thing that that uh that he talked about was he said that we are going to find that City on the hill okay now to me I'm thinking man this is unbelievable that this is where you know because we always remember the the uh the speech by Ronald Reagan who said shining City on the hill you know he used that phrase quite often in many of his speeches and then I found out that this that this bishop this pastor Winthrop actually used it and I said man that's a beautiful phrase right when we talk about you know John F Kennedy uses the the the the the beacon right he talks about this Beacon of life

9:02 and I've used the phrase this true north star which is what America is and what America always is is in search of so I looked up that that phrase sitting on a hill and actually it comes out of the Bible it comes out of Matthew you know Matthew and I forget which which you know verse of chapter but Matthew so Matthew talked about you know this idea of a city on a hill and I think at the time because I don't know if Aaron is here tonight but Aaron is one of the you know Aaron Angus is a great guy and Eric

9:41 wonderful wonderful human being Aaron always says this thing and it stuck with me he says that uh that God chose Israel okay God chose Israel but America chose God "[Music]" thank you and one of the things that we have to remember that what the station what are what our Bible says and what our constitution was was crafted upon if you look at the if you read any of the of the effectiveness papers and there's many of them there's many many of them there's many Federalist Papers and I you know I recommend that you read some of them even if you just go in and read the summaries you can go look up summaries of The Federalist Papers I mean Hamilton is a masterful writer

10:35 so you look at the Federalist Papers you look at the Constitution you read the Declaration of Independence it takes you know probably two minutes to read the Declaration of Independence it probably takes a good reader 45 minutes to an hour to read the Constitution it's just such a beautiful I mean it's a Visionary document but when you read the history so those historians that have really dug into who we are as a country how do we how are we founded the judeo-christian principles and values that we were founded upon right they're strong they're a Bedrock of Who We Are that all of the all of the historians

11:16 but the best place to look are in the writings of the founders of this country their letters to their sons and daughters their letters to their wives back home right the things that they said to each other and they were they were a lot of learning people at the time they were writing all the time and they all you have to do is read what they wrote some of these beautiful letters that have been captured and captured historically and they always return to something out of the Bible and that was how this country was created so you go from a guy like Pastor Winthrop and you fast forward another 100 and whatever 50 60 70 years whatever

11:57 the numbers are and we get to the to the Revolutionary War and you get to a group of people and they go we're willing to give up everything we're willing to give up everything and so now you fast forward to where we are today and you hear this beautiful music I mean it's beautiful music from this beautiful young man and I look at that and I say to myself you know that's that's Divine amen it's divine all of us each of us okay and I've met a lot of you guys I met a lot of you over the last couple of years I as I look around this room I bet you I've met a third of this room

12:37 at some point in time you know and I remember the faces and I know who you are and what you what you are doing there's a lot of activism in this room there's a lot of people that do get involved and I appreciate that what we have to do you know because it's it's this I could get into that and Roger's going to get up here in a minute and talk about a master of the of the political space in our country now and I I mean another person who has just become a very very dear friend but we've created a family so now that family and I'm part of a big fan like a

13:17 nine brothers and sisters my wife got seven I mean big families can be ugly you know big families fight we fight with each other but don't you know like we're like we say in our family you know fight like a flint you will fight like the Dickens amongst ourselves but you come after us and you're going to come after a clan that will not quit will not give "[Applause]" it the other thing too man I want people to understand is that tears tears okay because I you know I'm listening to give me this beautiful beautiful salt and I'm like getting tears in my eyes

13:55 and I'm thinking to myself that something that I have I have come to believe in and I see you know a lot of people you know you get tears in your eyes sometimes and what I tell people is don't ever take a tear as a sign of weakness okay what a tear what a tear means is a sign of determination right right it means that you're determined you're determined to take care of your children you're determined to take care of your family you're determined to take care of your community to do the things that you can

14:33 do for your community for your churches if you don't like the church across the street go across town find find a church that understands that without this walk they can't preach the Bible and they can't "[Music]" show I want people to understand that a couple of things just to you know when we talk about I talk about this all the time I use this phrase local action has a national impact local action has a national impact you get involved in your school board your county somewhere County Commissioners or elections or all these different activities that you can

15:21 do and you get in there and you mix it up and you fight these people are going to lie they're going to cheat they're going to steal you know and I've been called every name in the book I mean you know I I said to my friend Nadine earlier who I asked how many of these you've had you've got an eight or ten of these you may be all 21 of them you know and we talked about it you know because she asked me for a friend of hers you know about why are you you know why don't you have a lot of Hate in Your Heart I mean after

15:52 all the stuff that you've been through right and I always sell and I tell people this and maybe you've heard me say this about Warfare when you go to war you don't attack the enemy because you hate the enemy you attack the enemy because you love your country yeah and you love you love that person on your left you know you love that person on your right and you have gotten to know them intimately yeah now my father's deceased you the World War II and Korea War veteran and he always taught us kids there's no atheist in Foxhole okay because trust me trust me and I

16:41 know guys you know when all of a sudden you're gonna get on a on a couple of helicopters you're going to go somewhere you're going to go into a raid somewhere you know that there's people that are going to try to kill you and you go we'll say prayer before we get on those before we board those helicopters believe me believe me and you squeeze and you hook be quiet and suddenly you feel good and fear doesn't go away if you begin to control it okay you have a sense of of control of of that emotion and it's really really powerful

17:40 and when we are able to do that as a nation certainly as a body of people here tonight but when we're able to to control that emotion of fear okay because a lot of people fear me are in fear of what is happening many many people around this country that don't have much but they they have the ability to pray and we need to control that emotion of fear we need to overcome that and when we overcome that believe me nothing can stop us "[Applause]" "[Music]" kind of an administrative note because I we sat and had a bite to eat before we

18:33 came up over here down on the uh in the restaurants here and so I I said what the hell I'm gonna call Trump so I called him up he's a good man he's a great guy you know and I said man you really screwed up last night just to bust his chops you know we have a good relationship started laughing a little bit I said no you really did a good thing I said you know if if CNN had actually been taken a a humble pill and Ben and Ben a little bit more professional and Ashley and ask smart

19:12 questions because you had a republican Town Hall going on CNN's ratings and everybody would have thought man CNN's back but they did they did and so this is what I said you know I said to him was that we we have to be relentless we have to be relentless because we have to know it and if you don't if you haven't figured this out yet the evil that we are facing will not give in until we take over "[Applause]" "[Music]" and so I I know the uh the managing uh the guy who runs this place this beautiful place you know one of the

19:58 things I was talking about to some folks earlier today every place that you go to that's owned by uh that's on within the Trump Enterprise whether somebody talked to you guys are going to the winery up in North Carolina this place all all these places you go to I guarantee you that the staff here will be so professional and they're not just that being that way because we're here they're that they're like that all the time no matter which part of the Trump Enterprise you go to I don't care whether it's wine hotels golf courses or selling jewelry they're always very courteous professional because that's the culture

20:37 that is created by the guy at the top did I say that I say that because because they're what they will continue to do is they will continue to attack attack attack okay they were trying to draw him into the Gates of Hell last night and he stood he stood there at the gates of hell and said crying "[Applause]" so for all those that are here I want you to really just asked him you know thank these people that are that are servants here in this beautiful place that we're at and I know some people are saying another close by hotels thank you so

21:26 much for being here and uh and for all that you're doing and when when you walk out of here in a couple of days because you're going to get a you're going to get a master three here in the next 48 hours in all kinds of the education that you get these reawakened tours are not just rah-rah sessions this is about you and you got to figure out what you're gonna go do when you leave here okay because we're going to continue to do the kinds of things that we do but but it you know it it really is going to take all of us to get involved all Americans right all Americans God bless
