=== Reflections On America's Greatness (02:56) ===

[00:00:00]  But Andrew Como, I was asking you about it.
[00:00:04]  Here's what he said.
[00:00:06]  America never was great.
[00:00:10]  That's one of our leaders in America, one of our great cities.
[00:00:14]  But this is where we are right now.
[00:00:18]  Pastor, I just renewed my passport for the fifth time.
[00:00:22]  I've been all over the world.
[00:00:25]  I've been to Manila, the Philippines, as a young officer.
[00:00:30]  And I saw a cemetery in which brave Americans died in that war.
[00:00:38]  I've been at General Patton's tomb in Luxembourg and did a ceremony there, marching a parade to celebrate the victory of World War II.
[00:00:51]  My grandfather fought World War I.
[00:00:56]  I have family that have fought for many years.
[00:00:59]  We've paid with blood a mighty price for the freedoms in our country.
[00:01:08]  There are people that don't appreciate, don't understand how unique this country is today.
[00:01:13]  That's right.
[00:01:14]  That's right.
[00:01:15]  If you go into Western Africa and you see poverty you can't imagine.
[00:01:20]  You go into India and you see poverty that's just wretching.
[00:01:25]  Anywhere in the world you go today except for America.
[00:01:29]  You know, we have such a great country.
[00:01:32]  Yes, we do.
[00:01:33]  America is a great country.
[00:01:35]  We have some bad people here, no doubt.
[00:01:38]  And unfortunately, some of them rise to very senior positions, like our last president.
[00:01:44]  And they try to push their agenda on the rest of the world and they try to bring us down.
[00:01:52]  But we were founded by men and women that love the Lord.
[00:01:56]  Yes.
[00:01:56]  People that had a vision for a place, a sanctuary in this terrible world in which we often have to put up with.
[00:02:04]  And so America is a great country.
[00:02:07]  Yes, it is.
[00:02:08]  I feel bad for this man who seems to have no vision as to where we have been and where we're going in the future.
[00:02:17]  But I'm committed that America is willing to pay the price to sustain for our children and grandchildren a future that is bright, a future that is kind of reflective of the greatness of America into the long, into the future.
[00:02:35]  So yes, there are plenty of people, especially in Washington, that say very stupid things and very demonic things.

=== Politicians And The Vote (00:33) ===

[00:02:45]  They manipulate the truth.
[00:02:48]  They say things that are embarrassing to those of us that have paid a very serious price with our lives, our heritage.
[00:02:57]  So I've been on with his, what, his brother on CNN a number of times.
[00:03:03]  And, you know, there are people, politicians that say things because they think they can get a vote.
[00:03:09]  And it's unfortunate, but it's not reflective, I think, of the true greatness of this country.
[00:03:14]  Agreed.
