Mask Mandate & Temperature Checks00:15:41
unidentified
Well, the virus has now killed more than 100 people in China.
And new cases have been confirmed around the world.
So you don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
Okay, live from an occupied nation's capital, it's day 49 of the occupation.
We had Matt Gaetz in here, Congressman Gaetz today, talking about when they're going to release information about this occupation.
He said the information he's seen does not lead to having 5,000 to 7,000 combat troops, National Guard troops up armored in what looks like Kabul with the wire razor, barbed wire in the fencing, the wall.
You're in the War Room.
It's Thursday, 25th of February, Year of Our Lord 2021 now with over almost 38 million downloads.
On the podcast, we're going to tell you how you get to that and how you help us in that downloading and being a force multiplier.
John Frederick's Radio Network, Real America's Voice, the streaming service of the Trump Revolution.
It is Dish Channel 219, Comcast Channel 113.
Of course, we're on Rumble, Telegram, Gab, Roku, Pluto and Translated into Mandarin on G News and GTV and blown through the firewall to all our compatriots, Lao Bajing in mainland China and of course the diaspora throughout the world.
This is our continual CPAC coverage.
Real America's Voice got a massive team down there headed up by Tudor Dixon and Amanda Head.
I want to now go to Amanda live in Orlando, Florida.
Amanda, put us in the room.
Give us a sense.
It looks spectacular.
The shot's amazing.
Compliments to the guys in Denver and also the field army you've got down there.
Yeah, so to set the room for you, this is a little bit smaller venue than what we're used to at Oxon Hill every year for CPAC.
I think that they did a great job figuring out how to do this on a slightly truncated level.
As you can see, the main stage behind me.
Speakers will get going tomorrow morning, big speakers of course.
Ending with the finale with President Trump on Sunday.
But you'll see that I don't have a mask on, but I'm one of the very few people because they do have mask mandates in place for this entire facility.
They are doing COVID screening, so you can either do it in person when you get here, answer those normal, you know, standard questions.
Do you have a cough or a temperature?
Have you had a positive COVID test?
Have you been in contact with anyone?
It remains to be seen how strict they are going to be about the mask mandate and of course that will determine what the mainstream media's narrative is about this event but it's going to be a zoo starting tomorrow.
It's not crazy right now but I think that that's a tech hiccup because when I went to sign in for my badge their internet was down so they couldn't print anyone's badges so it's actually very slow right now.
Usually people on this first day they kind of like to get the lay of the land Walk along the booths, see who's here, see who's a sponsor, pick up that list of speakers so they can make sure to show up to all the proper places for the speakers that they want to hear.
Have my wingman Raheem Kassam in the studio with us right off of his hot podcast.
Also, we're honored to be joined, our co-host today in studio is the former acting Undersecretary of Commerce for Wilbur Ross.
It's Corey Stewart.
We're going to get to this big controversy over AT&T, exploding story of a Tucker Carlson last night.
We'll pick it up from there shortly.
We've also got Boris Epstein and Peter Navarro all coming in and Drew Mason later in the show.
Amanda, I gotta go back to this.
Are people prepared?
Is the posse coming down there?
Because this is hardcore MAGA now at CPAC.
It's a populist nationalist gathering.
You know, Nikki Haley is in The Hill, the lead story this afternoon.
Nikki Haley was whining she didn't get an invite.
You know, Liz Cheney, not invited.
These establishment figures, not invited.
This is pure MAGA.
Is pure MAGA?
Ready to understand they're going to have a mask mandate and they're going to have to take a COVID test or at least take a temperature check before they go in.
And the mainstream media is going to be all over.
I mean, the first story we're going to have is Amanda Head was in the war room.
First thing she did, she didn't have a mask on.
Right.
So is hardcore MAGA nation, are they ready to wear masks?
unidentified
I'm not.
I came from California expecting to have a few days where I could be maskless.
People are coming to Florida expecting for it to feel free and open, but I will let you know we are in Orange County and Orange County's mayor, after Ron DeSantis lifted the very, very stringent COVID measures, There are a few counties, like Orange County, who kept those measures in place because they didn't feel comfortable lifting them.
I think that people are going to come here, they're going to be very disappointed because they are going to expect CPAC, the C in CPAC for conservative, to actually feel like the proper venue for that.
And you have a lot of people who, and there are plenty of studies that back this up, that it's negligible on whether masks really matter.
And you're gonna be in close quarters with people anyway.
We've all been in scenarios on airplanes where you're packed in like sardines, and then they tell you to socially distance when you're getting off the plane.
So a lot of people coming to this, they're hoping to not wear masks, and I think it's gonna be a rude awakening.
But again, I wonder how strict they are going to be about it.
There aren't very many people here just yet.
So tomorrow, I will have an update for you, and we'll determine how strictly they are adhering to those measures.
So this kicks off tomorrow morning with Ron DeSantis, the great governor of Florida.
He actually gives the welcoming.
He's the initial welcoming.
You've got a great list of speakers.
I guess Christine Ohm on Saturday before the Reagan dinner.
You've got great speakers at the Reagan dinner, of course.
That's right.
That's right.
in the United States in the speech at 3.30.
Real America's Voice, The War Room, John Fredericks, we're all going to be putting on a special starting at 2 o'clock on Sunday, an hour and a half pregame to a speech.
Speech should last about an hour, we'll be doing a postgame after that.
Real America's Voice, I think it's got 20 people down there to bring you tremendous coverage.
Raheem, you got anything for Amanda before we let her go?
Well I think it'll be interesting and we look forward to your reporting on this, Amanda, about what the response to the President's speech is going to be on Sunday because Jen Psaki's been asked now I think three days in a row whether or not she thinks that it's appropriate for President Trump to speak at CPAC, what she thinks he's going to say to Today was a more Specific question about the immigration portion of it, which is, I think, expected to make up the majority of it.
Amanda, is there anything else that you're hearing about what President Trump may remark upon any announcements he's going to make on the day?
And what are you getting from the audience about what they hope to hear?
unidentified
I think that people are a lot more excited to come to this now that they know that President Trump is speaking.
As to the first part of your question, I'll have to circle back to you on that one.
Why does it really matter what you think about President Trump coming to speak?
But, you know, with respect to what you were talking about, Steve, Nikki Haley, this establishment arm, I will say, coming from California, we do have three Republicans who a lot of people put in that camp.
Devin Nunes, Kevin McCarthy, and Daryl Issa.
So there is still a small contingent of people who the attendees here are going to be very dubious about.
Right before I go to Boris, I've got to ask you, and Corey, jump in here, because you ran for governor, this surprise mask mandate ain't going to sit well with the folks showing up for this, right?
And of course, the mainstream media, you're going to have BBC, you've got the New York Times, you've got the Washington Post, you've got ten guys there, Josh Dawes is all running around, you're going to have nothing but, the picture's going to be another group of barbarians, right, in a super spreader event, another super spreader event.
Well, I think on big private campuses like a hotel thing, I think it's up to them.
It's up to the hotel how much they police this stuff.
But it's interesting because CPAC, they will have loads of cameras there.
It's the event that the media especially goes to.
to try and play gotcha with conservatives. But CPAC always treats, historically treated, establishment corporate media outlets better than they've treated conservative news media outlets. I mean, I still remember when Laura Loomer was kicked out of the green room at CPAC.
And so you have to take the rough with the smooth. If you're going to lay the red carpet out for the corporate media because you want the coverage, and that's fine, it's totally reasonable, then you are also going to open yourself up to a lot of criticism.
You're hostile to it. Okay, let's go to Boris Epstein.
Boris, Nikki Haley, the Hill newspaper today, first it was Nikki Haley whining, you know, I'm not invited, I'm not loved, I can't go to the conservative thing.
Then you got Liz Cheney, that brutal remark she made about the President of the United States yesterday with McCarthy.
I think it's unacceptable.
McCarthy did not call her out in front of the media.
Try to make a joke about it.
And she went in for another hard hit.
As Peter Navarro says, she knows how, metaphorically, how to put the stiletto in Between the ribs and she's trying to cut up the president every chance she gets Boris.
Give us your assessment on the eve of CPAC Steve great to be with you and MAGA nation and MAGA brain trust that is the war rooms Listeners and viewers on the eve of CPAC.
This is President Trump's Republican Party It is President Trump's MAGA movement and President Trump continues to be the leader of this country Joe Biden is nowhere to be found of no nor to be found and nothing to speak of So, that is what's happening going into CPAC.
This is going to be a celebration of MAGA.
Liz Cheney is not welcome.
Nikki Haley is not welcome.
And by the way, if you're not welcome at CPAC, Nikki Haley, how are you going to win any primaries in 2024 when you're trying to run for president?
It's an inauspicious start to her campaign for 2024, let's put it this way.
Not great when the Republican Party continues to be overwhelmingly in favor of President Trump.
We know Trump voters, even after a over two-month beatdown by mainstream media, 76% of Trump voters would vote for him for the nomination.
2024, 85% for the general.
Those numbers are going to grow, so there's no room for Nikki Haley in this party.
Liz Cheney, you know, yes, the Cheneys are maybe good at shooting people in the face, but Liz Cheney doesn't seem to have Very good political instincts there, I'll tell you that.
Hang on, I just want to make sure I got something.
We're going to hold you over to the break just for a minute, but I've got to ask you something.
You just made a statement I don't think I've heard anybody say.
You just said, and you're one of the senior MAGA guys, you just said you don't think there's room in this party for Nikki Haley.
Not for Liz Cheney.
You don't think there's room in this for Nikki Haley.
Why?
Because she's too much of a globalist, she's too much of an elitist, she doesn't understand the basics of the MAGA movement, the economics of it, the politics of it, the contours of it.
Why do you say there's not room?
Because that's going to be, the mediaite's going to have that up.
Boris Epstein says, not room in the Republican Party, Trump Republican Party for Nikki Haley.
You've got to be authentic, you've got to be real, you've got to stand for what the Republican Party stands for.
And what you can't do is on one day say, oh, you know, I'm with President Trump and he made me the U.N.
ambassador, then try to lambast President Trump before the last few days of the impeachment trial when you thought things were going badly, then ask to go visit President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
It just doesn't make for a leader in today's Republican Party.
And I don't think there is room for people who are trying to be, you know, have their thumb in the air and feeling the wind and going with the wind and the weather.
That's not what we're looking for.
We're looking for leaders.
We're looking for authenticity.
We're looking for people who want to put America first and not their political prospects first.
And frankly, I don't think Nikki Hale is going to do anything that tells us that she's a true leader in our party.
I think the word that Boris just said is absolutely right.
It's authenticity.
It means we don't want phonies.
We don't want people who are going to pretend to be with us, pretend to support the president, and when the first opportunity gets, you know, they can throw the president under the bus like he has done.
Well, I gotta tell you, this, what is it, 20,000 word piece by Tim Alberta in Politico, I mean it's... A long read.
It's an excruciating read, is what it is.
Not least because, as you say... It's a presidential profile.
Yeah, but it's also her being hoist with her own petard in real time, you know, she's...
She's trying to have it both ways, and there's something that Margaret Thatcher said about standing in the middle of the road, is you get hit by traffic from both sides.
And this is the thing, you can't pretend, you can't flub your way through being MAGA.
And at the same time, you know, the final sign-off of this entire article is her dumping on the President, saying, eh, he's not really a friend of mine.
You know, it's kind of Mean Girls' way of approaching the whole situation.
Neither side are going to buy that, and she comes off this all the worse.
Boris, she's been stunned by the reaction, has she not?
I mean, she's walking around a little shell-shy.
It's like in the NFL when you get hit first, right?
She's still groggy, right?
I mean, she's so upset.
The Paul Singer apparatus that's in back of her is so upset she's not invited down there with the other potentials.
Trump's going to win the nomination in 2024, but if he ever chose not to, you're going to have the Tom Cottons, you're going to have the Mike Pompeos, you're going to have the serious people are going to be there.
It feels like both Nikki Haley and Liz Cheney are sort of like, thinking back to when I was a sophomore at the varsity football scrimmage, you know what I mean?
You're in the big leagues now, and you don't know whether you're coming or going.
Great reference there by Raheem and Margaret Thatcher's comment of getting hit by traffic from both sides.
What were they thinking?
Do Nikki Haley—and this is probably what happens when you're a quote-unquote principal, and you forget to actually look at the information.
Maybe their staffs didn't tell them, hey, President Trump's got over 90 percent approval in the Republican Party.
Hey, the MAGA movement is what got us there.
They must have forgotten that, or they thought— Here's what's interesting.
If you run an email marketing campaign, you actually know who your potential audience is, right?
But what she's doing is doing something that isn't interesting to anybody.
She's now blaming the mainstream liberal media after giving an interview the size of War and Peace to Politico, which last time I checked is pretty mainstream liberal media.
That is total nonsense.
It's like walking into a door and then blaming the door.
It's very obvious what Nikki Haley was trying to do.
It was another in a long line of political miscalculations.
And I'll say it again, Nikki Haley is not a serious contender for the future of the Republican Party.
President Trump will win the nomination, will be the 47th president if he runs.
If he doesn't run, there are other people who are true heavyweights, true representatives of the conservative movement.
Nikki Haley isn't one of them.
She's much closer to Liz Cheney, who the party has left behind.
Okay, I want to jump before I get your social media quarters, but I just want to re-emphasize to our audience, no Pence, no Nikki Haley, no Liz Cheney, and no Mitch McConnell down in Orlando addressing the MAGA CPAC movement.
I want to get everybody, by the way, the precinct committee men.
We had Dan Schultz on this morning.
He's got the new site up.
Precinctstrategy, one word, dot com.
Go there now.
We want to break the 10,000 mark today.
We've been at, I think, 150,000 in the last 10 days since we've done it.
You've got 200,000 billets you've got to fill that are open.
Now I want to go to Peter Navarro.
Peter, Boris said Orlando is a celebration of MAGA.
Why is the chief economic strategist for the MAGA movement, for economic nationalism, for populism, why is the chief architect for President Trump of his policies that had record low employment with working class African-Americans and Hispanics, middle class, had rising wages for African-Americans and Hispanics and white working class, the architect that was the, you were the hammer when President Trump wanted to get things done with China, the CCP, we're going to be talking with Corey Stewart, the former
But let me pierce this illusion propagated by my good friend Boris and a little bit of you, Bannon, that somehow CPAC is a celebration, a MAGA.
You haven't done your homework.
I have.
I looked at the speaker list and I got a killer Venn diagram for your viewers to understand what's going on here.
The concept is a Venn diagram is, you know, what's at the intersection Of CPAC and MAGA, and very clearly it's deregulation and tax cuts.
Both CPAC and MAGA folks, they love deregulation and tax cuts.
But if you look at the MAGA side of the Venn diagram, you've got economic nationalism versus globalism on the CPAC side.
You've got fair trade.
versus free trade on the CPAC side, and you got secure borders on the MAGA side, and you got open borders on the CPAC side. And Steve, you know what, when I was in the administration, I showed up there one year and look, these folks are not MAGA friendly for the most part. Let's strike that from your idea.
Well, hold on. The audience, the audience, the grassroots audience, the grassroots audience, as you say, you're saying some of the sponsors and the corporate sponsors, because the CPAC crowd is definitely, the crowd's definitely a closed, they're not an open borders crowd.
I'm gonna push back, I love Donald J. Trump, okay?
But if you mingle with those folks, I'm telling you Steve, and if you look at the guest list, I mean look at, forget the corporate sponsors, look at who's gonna be speaking.
OK, and for every Bob Lighthizer you got there preaching the gospel of fair trade and tough on China, you got people that represent like the Heritage Foundation.
I mean, it's it's a celebration of globalist free trade.
Trust me on that.
Might explain why I'm not there.
You're not there.
Rahim's not there.
So I think, look, Let's not forget what this is all about.
The next two and four years are about a battle royale within the Republican Party to keep that party together, cohesive, but remake it in MAGA image for Donald J. Trump.
And if you're going to do that, you can't have the CPAC globalists, you can't have the CPAC free traders, you can't have the CPAC open porters.
Barry Goldwater created the modern conservative movement in 1964.
He's defeated soundly by LBJ.
And the first real Goldwater, true conservative president that we had was 16 years later with the election of Ronald Reagan.
Now he had Watergate in the middle of that, so that kind of lengthened the transition.
But the point is that when you create a movement, it takes time.
It takes time to fully get implemented.
It takes time to get power.
It takes time to root out the Anshan regime.
And that's what we're seeing.
We've got Mitch McConnell in there.
We've got all kinds of Mitch McConnells in the Senate and the House that have to be rooted out before we take control of the party and before we can actually implement, fully implement the Trump agenda.
Well, I'm a massive Goldwater fan to the point where, I mean, I have been even when I was living in Britain.
Goldwater, you know, reached across the ocean to me as a figure.
I went to Prescott, Arizona to stand on the steps where he gave his speech announcing his run for president in 1963.
They have the plaque there.
Just an incredible figure, still an incredibly important figure.
I've read and consumed almost everything about him.
I even have a catalogue of his Arizona desert photography that his son actually gave me.
And the reason for all of that is just like Donald Trump, there are obviously ways in which they differ massively, but just like Donald Trump, here is somebody who came along and there was no pale pastels as far as these people were concerned.
He set his eyes on the prize.
He knew exactly what conservatism meant contemporaneously and how it should be formed in the future and set his eyes on that target and went for it.
But the reason that a company is placed on the entity list, is the reason you put a sanction on them, is because they're somehow threatening U.S. national security, or they're involved in supporting human rights abuses.
In the case of China Telecom, they fit both of those criteria.
They were aiding, they continue to aid the Chinese government.
They're using cell phones, they use cell phone service and telecommunications technologies to track, trace, identify the Uyghur population.
this Muslim minority population, Western China. They spy with them, on them using that. Then they round them up, send them over to concentration camps where they're raped, they're tortured, and there's a lot of reports of their outbursts. So clearly AT&T can't be in business with them, can't be in partnership with them. They should be on the NCS list, correct? Absolutely.
I think you're having amnesia about the six months you spent in the West Wing.
I think you and I understand better than the whole world out there that there was just as many people within the West Wing that we had to fight as outside the West Wing.
And so if you're wondering about the entities list, I mean, that thing took much longer than it should.
And one of these days I'm going to name some names, but suffice it to say that we had a lot of trouble and there were lobbyists like Branstad.
I mean, think about this.
The kid, the Chinese ambassador is lobbying for ZTE and Gummer Commons.
Did you get pressure from the Republican Party donors and all that to make sure that companies like AT&T and they were all over you, that it wasn't exposed, that they were actually in business with CCP controlled companies?
We had gotten to the point where we went through four years and we were just steadily getting rid of the globalist flotsam and jetsam whirling around the West Wing.
We had it all set up for the CCP agenda.
We were going to decouple from China.
That was going to get done.
We were going to We were going to finish the wall, we were going to get a merit-based use of immigration policy.
This second term that we lost is just an incredible loss to this nation, not just because we lost that opportunity, but because we went from the yang of a tough, mega, blue-collar, working-class policy over to this Yin-Biden, sleepy-time kind of like, throw the borders open, stick it to blue-collar America.
Hang on, the borders are open and the schools are closed.
That sums up Joe Biden.
I want to go back to Corey just for a second.
You heard Navarro talk about the second term.
As far as Biden goes, given the direction of the Trump administration of this confrontation with the Chinese Communist Party, full on, in both information warfare, economic warfare, and saying, hey, you don't own the South China Sea, it's an international waterway, militarily around the Eurasian landmass.
What do you see the Biden administration?
They've wanted to back off, but they can't back off.
You see, we're asked most of the day, the American people support a confrontation.
When you hear they're saying, oh, we want to outcompete them as former acting undersecretary of commerce.
How do you assess the Biden administration's first month in office regarding the Chinese Communist Party?
Well, I think that they clearly, they want to be easy on China.
They want to be soft on China.
That's where they're going.
They feel themselves as kind of, if you think about what they're doing, they're curtailing free speech.
They're working together with private industry.
This is similar to what the Chinese have been doing over the last, you know, since 1946.
So I think the problem is, and you put your finger on it, and so did Peter, and that is they know that the American people don't want to go there.
They want the Biden administration to be tough on China.
The working class wants to be tough on China, but they can't go there as long as we continue to expose it.
And by the way, one of the things, the last things we did in the Trump administration was to try to get, shed light on this, put as much press attention on it as possible so that they couldn't stick it back into the closet once they took power.
We've talked a lot about what this idea I call idea laundering.
That is to have the big corporate elites give a bunch of money to these think tanks, Peterson Institute, Brookings, whatever it is, and what they do is they launder this idea that free trade and open borders is good for the American people.
And guess what?
There's going to be a lot of idea laundering at CPAC by those people and those think tanks.
So this is the problem we face.
The establishment versus blue collar America, that's what this battle is going to be about.
The president has to stay true to this.
He's got to not only cleanse the party, but he's got to cleanse the folks that are around him to make sure that he stays signal, no noise.
PeterNavarro.com, just my website, PeterNavarro.com.
You can download both of those reports, and again, I carefully went over the speakers and the panels and all of that, and there's really no credible person there to present the receipts.
Because the establishment is trying to tell us that because I was MAGA and I lost, therefore, the way to win in Virginia, the way they want to be, is to go back to the establishment.
Is that true?
Absolutely.
It will not work.
We're in a totally new era.
People are thinking they go back in time, when we used to win in Virginia.
Look, we're losing in Virginia because, partially, we're putting up candidates who don't stand for anything, who don't believe in anything.
Okay, their Day of Reckoning is coming, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaking of Day of Reckoning, I want to bring in Drew Mason from stjosephspartners.com.
He is the head of this national movement about getting America to both pray and fast.
He runs Fasting for America.
Drew, I got to ask you a question.
You told me this when you first came on a couple weeks ago about the story about, in the New Testament, about prayer and Fasting.
Can you tell our audience the story?
unidentified
Yes, thank you so much, Steve, for this wonderful opportunity.
I just want to convey to people the hope and optimism of what the Lord is doing, contrary to what the many headlines are you read.
In Matthew and in Mark, for centuries, the Scriptures were the same, and they told the story of when the Apostles went out, they were victorious, except when they came across evil, they couldn't be victorious.
Jesus came in, rescued them, and they said to him afterwards, Lord, why didn't we have victory here?
And he said, simply because this is a special case, that is, when evil is present, that requires prayer and fasting.
So for centuries, all the text said that.
However, in the early sixties, there was a dramatic change in the Bibles, and Mark 9.29 no longer says the word fasting.
It really obliterated the teaching.
It's even more dramatic in Matthew 17.
Verse 21 has been removed.
So sequentially, the Bible literally goes from Matthew 17, verse 20 to 22, 21, that spoke of the power of fasting has been taken out.
I don't think the significance can be overemphasized because we've essentially been taking on water, bailing feverishly to stay afloat, and Jesus was telling us this is the patch that we need that will be victorious.
Now, you should know, Steve, that some people are going to talk to this with their pastors You'll hear the argument, well we found an older textbook, an older manuscript, and that one older manuscript didn't have fasting, and that was the justification, because evil never admits it's wrong.
It just screams louder and pushes back.
But the reality is, we have thousands of manuscripts, thousands of ancient manuscripts, and approximately 90 plus percent have this verse, all say fasting.
So clearly, all of the prophets, the apostles, In those days knew that fasting was critical.
There was, when Christ, there was a certain type, when the disciples went out, there was a certain type of demon they couldn't, they couldn't obliterate.
And he said that this intensity, these types can only be confronted by prayer and fasting.
Prayer and fasting.
And they got it.
And you're saying that for millennia, from the 60s all the way to AD, or 100 AD, all the way into the 1960s, it was prayer and fasting.
And then either Second Vatican Council and in the Protestant Church, when they start to modernize these Bibles from King James Version to some modern vernacular, the and fasting was dropped in these two specific cases.
And so, and this is one of the things that you're trying to do and reinvigorate the faith here in this country, regardless whether you're Catholic or an Evangelical Christian, is to have people both prayer and fast.
We've got a couple minutes.
Walk through the program that everybody in the audience, that you guys do, I think on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Walk through what you do.
unidentified
Gladly.
So we have clear evidence that first century Christians felt obligated to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays.
So we do it the way they did, bread and water, which is actually surprisingly easy.
So we eat 100% whole grains.
So the health aspect of it is very positive.
So if you're hungry, you have as much whole grain bread as you want.
If you're thirsty, you have as much water.
You're just making the tiny sacrifice of limiting your intake and not having what you enjoy the most.
This allows you to have the strength to do this week in and week out.
Pour Out Your Blood00:02:35

And the key is our heart.
Steve, it's just to say to the Lord, Lord, You made big sacrifices.
This is just a tiny sacrifice, but I gladly do it for You, Lord, for Your Kingdom, and we implore You.
Renew our country.
Protect our country.
Pour out Your blood upon us and give us victory.
And with that little heart and just a small number, the power is incredible.
I want to share with you a story for your audience, Steve, if they weren't aware of this.
But in World War II, Britain was basically on its deathbed.
And it looked like Nazi Germany was going to deliver the knockout punch.
And a small group of Brits, many of them elderly, who thought their best days were behind them, many of them obliterated, injured, they began fasting, standing on the biblical stories of how time and again, when a civilization fasted, God responded and miracles ensued.
Now, I can't obviously prove that was the cause, but shortly thereafter, Hitler made the greatest blunder in military history, reversed out of Western Europe and Britain, and went into Russia, and it was the beginning of his demise.
That's the type of story that's happened again and again, and the great news is you only need a small number of people to respond to unlock this power in their lives, and their families, and for our nation.
