=== What Is An American (02:23) ===

[00:00:00]  And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you.
[00:00:10]  Ask what you can do for your country.
[00:00:28]  This week on American Grit, I'll be answering one of our nation's most urgent questions What is an American?
[00:00:35]  I'll also be addressing the evil of Europe's Muslim rape gangs, the top voted topics facing the American church, and I'll be talking about some specific strategies that we can use to recover the West.
[00:00:47]  All that and more coming up right now.
[00:01:03]  Welcome to American Grit.
[00:01:05]  This is season one on American Identity.
[00:01:08]  I'm your host, Dale Partridge.
[00:01:08]  This episode is titled, What is an American?
[00:01:11]  A Theology of Blood, Soil, and Story.
[00:01:14]  Now, each season I'm going to be covering a theme with about eight episodes to drive some hype.
[00:01:19]  Here's the next seven episodes.
[00:01:21]  Number one, or I guess this would be number two, is a biblical defense for Christian colonization and how it settled the West.
[00:01:28]  Number two would be Before the Fall, the glory of America's pre war consensus.
[00:01:34]  Next episode will be the post war consensus and how American victory destroyed us.
[00:01:39]  Then I'll be talking about the Hart Cellar Act and America's national suicide.
[00:01:44]  Then we'll be talking about baby boomers, the generation that destroyed America, Gen Z, what it will require for young rage to recover America, and then five steps toward a practical Christian nationalism.
[00:01:57]  Now, in addition, I'm going to be offering a 20 minute segment on each show called The Weekly Audit, where I'm going to be offering commentary on a few news stories or posts from the previous week.
[00:02:06]  So let's go ahead and dive in.
[00:02:09]  So, what is an American?
[00:02:12]  I think this might be one of the most urgent questions of our day.
[00:02:16]  Is it paperwork that makes you an American?
[00:02:18]  Is it an oath?
[00:02:20]  Is it the location of your birth certificate?

=== The Weekly Audit Begins (15:49) ===

[00:02:24]  Or is it something deeper, something that reaches beyond legal status into identity or ancestry or loyalty or maybe your just way of life?
[00:02:33]  And before I answer that question, I think you need some categories.
[00:02:36]  And since we're Christians, I think that we should use biblical categories whenever possible.
[00:02:41]  When we look at the nation of Israel, We don't see a flat, one size fits all understanding of belonging in the Old Testament.
[00:02:50]  Instead, we see some distinctions.
[00:02:52]  We see the native born Israelite.
[00:02:55]  We see the sojourner, which is a resident alien who lives among the people and is currently assimilating.
[00:03:02]  We see the foreigner, one who is passing through without covenantal attachment.
[00:03:08]  And we also see the stranger or the outsider who remains at a distance from the life and worship of the nation.
[00:03:16]  Now, These categories help us to see that not everyone within a land relates to that land in the same way.
[00:03:24]  And some are covenantally born into it, some join themselves to it, some benefit from it without belonging to it, and some remain entirely outside of it.
[00:03:34]  These are, again, vital categories because we live in an egalitarian hellhole where essentially we're trying to make everybody the same.
[00:03:44]  We're eliminating distinctions because they believe.
[00:03:47]  Really, any hierarchy is oppressive or racist or whatever they may call you.
[00:03:52]  Ultimately, the most people struggle with distinctions because they cannot accept the reality of superiority and inferiority.
[00:04:03]  They cannot bear that some are wise and others are foolish, and some rule and others are subject, or some are noble and others are ordinary.
[00:04:13]  In the case of citizenship, that some are privileged and others are not.
[00:04:20]  Some are primary, some are secondary.
[00:04:22]  And rather than submitting to God's design of order, they attempt to tear down any of these distinctions.
[00:04:28]  Because if they cannot raise what is low, they attack what is high in order to make everything appear equal.
[00:04:33]  And that is essentially the philosophy behind Marxism or DEI or critical race theory or any of these other liberal philosophical models.
[00:04:46]  But the project in that structure always falls apart.
[00:04:51]  It doesn't create justice, it just produces confusion and chaos.
[00:04:55]  It essentially removes accountability and leaves people increasingly divided and at odds with one another because they know they're different, yet they are forced to pretend that they're the same.
[00:05:06]  In other words, America must restore clear distinctions between heritage American families who have built and defended this nation for centuries and immigrants.
[00:05:17]  Heritage Americans deserve unique privileges and priority in their own country.
[00:05:23]  The Center for Immigration Studies.
[00:05:26]  Shows that over 53% of immigrant households live on welfare, 61% for illegal households, and up to 80% for Somali households.
[00:05:35]  That's frustrating because only 37% of U.S. born households are on welfare, and less than 25% of those who are on second or third generation born American households.
[00:05:49]  So, as you're likely already know, the preamble to the Constitution.
[00:05:56]  States, we the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.
[00:06:21]  Now, America is a nation of European founding and extension.
[00:06:26]  It was not created for the posterity of Indians or Pakistanis or Nigerians.
[00:06:33]  It was formed for the posterity of our own Western European Christian ancestors.
[00:06:41]  We are the ones who settled it, we established it, we built it, and we did so for ourselves and our posterity.
[00:06:50]  The idea that someone can step off a plane from Ghana last week, sign a few papers, and instantly claim the same rights, privileges, and standing as a family that has paid taxes here for 240 years and Shaped our institutions and sent their sons to fight and die in America's wars is insane.
[00:07:10]  It's a betrayal of the American people.
[00:07:14]  Now, ultimately, as you're going to see shortly, maybe in this episode or further episodes, America has been reduced to an economic zone to exploit rather than a nation to inherit.
[00:07:26]  Now, if you're looking for the real sin, if you want to put like a categorical sin on the particular topic, I think the sin is national theft, it's stealing.
[00:07:37]  The motive driving many arrivals through these immigrant nations is envy.
[00:07:44]  It's covetousness.
[00:07:46]  They're breaking these commandments.
[00:07:48]  They want what is not theirs, and they will systematically steal your children's inheritance.
[00:07:56]  Now, the Oxford Dictionary defines a nation as a body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language.
[00:08:08]  Inhabiting a particular area or territory.
[00:08:12]  Now, I'm going to admit some of these distinctions between heritage Americans and immigrants, they don't need to remain permanent or absolute.
[00:08:19]  They simply require real assimilation, not merely multicultural peace, but biblical assimilation.
[00:08:25]  And that means adaptation to language and culture and Christian values, and ultimately, and here's the big one, this is the big one intermarriage.
[00:08:34]  I know that's a hot topic right now, and there's lots of discussion around it, but intermarriage.
[00:08:39]  Into what I would say is the deliberate elimination of one's former ethnicity so that the immigrant's identity is fully absorbed into the host people.
[00:08:50]  That's a big statement.
[00:08:52]  It essentially requires someone to say, to look at themselves and say, you know what?
[00:08:57]  I don't want to be me anymore.
[00:08:59]  Now, I think there are some valid reasons to do that, to have essentially a form of transnationalism.
[00:09:06]  But I think it's a conversation that we need to have some categories to think about.
[00:09:10]  We see this with Ruth, the Moabite, in scripture.
[00:09:14]  She declared, Your God will be my God, and your people will be my people.
[00:09:20]  Ultimately, she's willing and allowing her Moabite identity to be essentially eliminated and subsumed into Israel.
[00:09:29]  Now, this was a form of ethnic renunciation.
[00:09:33]  It was rejecting her ancestry in submission to God and ascending from a pagan people to God's covenant people.
[00:09:42]  Now, again, outside of that specific rationale, I believe rejection of one's own lineage would possibly violate the fifth commandment to honor your father and mother.
[00:09:53]  Now, to be clear, what I'm talking about here does differ from today's kind of casual view of interracial marriage.
[00:10:02]  Ruth and Boaz, they're from the same region and they very likely had similar appearances in terms of their skin color.
[00:10:09]  So to correlate Ruth and Boaz as being an equal parallel to, say, like a white Minnesota woman and a black Somali man, I think that's foolish.
[00:10:18]  Also, Ruth is essentially, as a woman, she's subsumed into Israel.
[00:10:24]  That is that Ruth.
[00:10:26]  Entered into her husband's ethnicity, not the other way around.
[00:10:29]  And this was the kind of normative pattern under biblical patriarchy.
[00:10:34]  Now, for a man to immigrate and to kind of lose himself in his wife's ethnicity would be extremely abnormal.
[00:10:42]  The only biblical justification would be a man leaving a pagan nation to embrace a godly nation.
[00:10:49]  And we see this with Uriah the Hittite.
[00:10:53]  I think that's a valid reality, right?
[00:10:55]  He marries Bathsheba.
[00:10:58]  He comes into this world.
[00:10:59]  Obviously, he has a bad ending with David.
[00:11:02]  But other exceptions might be some form of war, some sort of, you know, maybe a displacement that maybe there's a missionary sacrificing his heritage for the sake of the gospel.
[00:11:20]  So, again, generally speaking, I think biblical assimilation is regional, religious, assimilating, and at some degree multi generational.
[00:11:33]  So, if we just take that principle, you know, and we apply it to America, it might look something like this a Hispanic family from, you know, say, Northern Mexico, right?
[00:11:48]  Half Spanish, half Mexican, right?
[00:11:50]  So they got some sort of Spanish or European, right?
[00:11:54]  So that's a lot of Hispanics already are mixed Europeans, especially Northern Mexico.
[00:12:00]  So let's just say that this Northern Mexico family comes to Arizona.
[00:12:04]  And their hope is to submit to Christ under a Christian government and a Christian culture.
[00:12:10]  Now, I would not count these first generation migrants as American citizens, even if they came here legally.
[00:12:18]  They couldn't vote, they couldn't be on welfare, they would have to pay taxes, and they'd have to have no criminal record to maintain even their ability to stay here.
[00:12:29]  But let's just say that their daughter is raised to speak English.
[00:12:35]  She fully commits to Western American Christian culture and she intermarries with an American Christian man who lives in Arizona.
[00:12:46]  Now, ultimately, like Boaz, this American Arizonan man is essentially assimilating this woman into the American ethnicity.
[00:12:56]  Now, let's just say that they have some children.
[00:13:00]  Because the children are coming from a heritage American as the father, I believe their children would be citizens and their sons and daughters should, I think, follow and continue that pattern that they are fully assimilated Americans.
[00:13:17]  And I think that process happens over time.
[00:13:21]  Now, in fact, if we look at Ruth, if we look at her son, her son was not David, though her great grandson was David.
[00:13:32]  God placed three generations of people between Ruth and King David.
[00:13:40]  And so the principle implies that essentially a few generations are required for a family to become fully integrated into the life and the identity of a particular nation.
[00:13:55]  And so the goal is simple, right?
[00:13:58]  Citizens must have investment in both America's past and its future.
[00:14:04]  So to have people that are not having that investment, right?
[00:14:11]  If you just come here, you don't have children.
[00:14:17]  You don't have ancestors, parents, or grandparents or great grandparents that are here.
[00:14:22]  You don't have an investment in the past.
[00:14:24]  And then if you're not having children, you still don't have an investment in the future.
[00:14:27]  I think these people cannot be considered American citizens.
[00:14:30]  I also don't think these people should be voting.
[00:14:33]  And so ultimately, immigration without assimilation is invasion, right?
[00:14:38]  I'm going to say that again immigration without assimilation is invasion.
[00:14:43]  And so to flood a nation with millions of immigrants with no intention.
[00:14:49]  Of assimilation, but rather, really, the intention of colonization and domination.
[00:14:56]  That's a form of national suicide.
[00:14:59]  And for that reason, I believe that immigration, especially from non European nations, non Christian nations into America, should be highly restricted.
[00:15:12]  Maybe really stop all immigration together for a while.
[00:15:17]  Now, many Christians have tried to use.
[00:15:21]  The Old Testament commands about loving the foreigner to justify mass immigration and diversity.
[00:15:28]  But those passages were never a blank check for demographic replacement.
[00:15:34]  In Israel, foreigners were rare.
[00:15:37]  They were so rare that they were recognizable, and they were expected to assimilate into the customs and religion of God's people.
[00:15:48]  They were never permitted to enter in such numbers that they could.
[00:15:53]  Overtake the existing population, replace the Hebrew people, replace their culture, or import their paganism.
[00:16:02]  And so, what does that mean for us?
[00:16:06]  If we're going to take these biblical principles, we're going to take these and apply them to our context here in America.
[00:16:16]  An American, in the fullest sense, is not merely someone who possesses documents or recites an oath.
[00:16:25]  Those things are important.
[00:16:25]  I think those things matter.
[00:16:26]  I think we want to have that process still stay in place in terms of even entering into our country.
[00:16:34]  But an American is someone who is bound to this nation in ancestry, in blood, in identity, loyalty, inheritance, someone who shares in its history.
[00:16:50]  It participates in its life, takes responsibility for the future.
[00:16:56]  Ultimately, I think there's a difference between living in America.
[00:17:02]  And being an American.
[00:17:04]  And I think we desperately need to recover that distinction.
[00:17:09]  Now, I want to talk briefly about this concept of hyphenated Americanism.
[00:17:16]  Now, part of recovering an Americanism is eliminating what has been called hyphenated Americanism.
[00:17:27]  And these labels, you know, like Asian American or Mexican American or Korean American or African American, right?
[00:17:34]  They're everywhere, right?
[00:17:36]  If you come here, you are not to come here to create some sort of parallel identity where America becomes, you know, some united nations of nations.
[00:17:50]  Okay, this, by the way, this actually isn't a new frustration.
[00:17:54]  People have been talking about, you know, hyphenated Americanism for a long time.
[00:17:59]  In fact, if you go back to 1915, President Theodore Roosevelt, in a speech, said, quote, There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism.

=== Christianizing Multi-Ethnic America (10:23) ===

[00:18:13]  A hyphenated American is not an American at all.
[00:18:16]  This is just as true of the man who puts native before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen.
[00:18:27]  Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.
[00:18:33]  Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.
[00:18:36]  We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds Any other allegiance.
[00:18:43]  The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, he says, of preventing all possibility of it continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangible or a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German Americans and Irish Americans, English Americans, French Americans, Scandinavian Americans, or Italian Americans, each preserving its separate nationality.
[00:19:13]  Each at the heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.
[00:19:23]  The men who do not become Americans, he says, and nothing else, are hyphenated Americans.
[00:19:31]  And there ought to be no room for them in this country.
[00:19:35]  The man who calls himself an American citizen and yet shows by his actions that he is primarily.
[00:19:43]  The citizen of a foreign land plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic.
[00:19:52]  He has no place here, and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart allegiance, the better, the better it will be for every good American.
[00:20:05]  Man, what a powerful speech.
[00:20:08]  And I think it's important.
[00:20:09]  I think that we are seeing, you know, we have this parallel communities.
[00:20:16]  That are being created all over the country.
[00:20:20]  It's why we have Chinatown in America or Koreatown, or we have maybe Hispanic neighborhoods, or we have Asian neighborhoods, or Slavic neighborhoods.
[00:20:32]  And so the idea to fight against hyphenated Americanism is a very important thing.
[00:20:39]  I think we don't understand how much that produces a sense of division among the people here in our country.
[00:20:50]  Before we jump back in, I wanted to tell you about something that we just launched over at the NXR store.
[00:20:54]  Now, if you've been paying attention, you know that everybody's screaming, diversity is our greatest strength.
[00:21:00]  Well, we thought that we should share our greatest strength with our greatest ally, so we made the official Diversity for Israel t shirt.
[00:21:07]  You can grab yours at shop.newchristianright.com.
[00:21:11]  Again, that's shop.newchristianright.com.
[00:21:14]  While you're there, you should check out my new book, 19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment.
[00:21:18]  It's one of those conversations that's so important, and many people are not willing to have.
[00:21:24]  I lay the case out fully, clearly, unapologetically.
[00:21:27]  And depending on when you're watching this, you can either pre order or you can order your copy now at newchristianright.com forward slash nineteen.
[00:21:37]  Again, that's newchristianright.com forward slash nineteen.
[00:21:40]  So go grab yourself a shirt, pre order the book, help us build something that actually pushes back.
[00:21:47]  All right, let's get back into it.
[00:21:48]  Now, this was prior to the Hart Seller Act and the destruction of our European only immigration policies.
[00:21:56]  So he's arguing.
[00:21:59]  About no hyphenated distinctions between the different white people, the different European people.
[00:22:07]  And so, if Roosevelt saw that that was happening and was struggling with that at that point, he would have an instant heart attack to see what is happening with the hyphenated Americanism of today.
[00:22:22]  You know, you have this Pakistani American, Arab American.
[00:22:27]  Man, he would be tripping out over that.
[00:22:30]  Now, I want to talk just briefly about this idea of Christian nationalism.
[00:22:35]  I think it's a very important topic, and I think it's important for Christians and Americans to understand what it means.
[00:22:42]  There's a lot of people that I think have produced some degree of counterfeit, false, scarecrow term versions of Christian nationalism.
[00:22:56]  But I think it's worth trying to get a real understanding of what this means.
[00:23:00]  And again, I'm going to offer At some point in the future, a full episode on Christian nationalism, breaking that down, maybe even a couple episodes of what that really means.
[00:23:09]  But this conversation certainly intersects with the conversation around Christian nationalism.
[00:23:16]  Now, everyone understands the Christian side of Christian nationalism, but few people understand the nationalism side of Christian nationalism.
[00:23:28]  And what I've realized recently is that what most self proclaimed Christian nationalists actually want.
[00:23:35]  Is they want a form of Christian multiculturalism.
[00:23:39]  They want our current multi ethnic America just Christianized.
[00:23:47]  And you know what?
[00:23:48]  I admit that that would be better than what we have now.
[00:23:52]  I mean, if we had everybody that was here, even if it was multi ethnic and even multicultural, if it was Christian, that would be great.
[00:24:02]  That would be better than what we got right now.
[00:24:04]  I'd love to have more Christians here.
[00:24:06]  Now, But the reality is, that's not Christian nationalism in terms of the emphasis on the word nationalism.
[00:24:15]  If we're being consistent with that title and we're being honest about that title, Christian nationalism requires us to recover both the Christianity side of this topic and the nationalism side of this topic.
[00:24:31]  But again, if I just went back, I don't have it in front of me, but just the idea of the Oxford Dictionary definition of a nation, right?
[00:24:39]  A nation is a group of people that share ancestry, that share history, that share identity, that share all of these things.
[00:24:51]  But again, most American Christians, they don't really want a Christian nation.
[00:24:58]  They don't want a recovery of America's historic majority European identity.
[00:25:06]  They want a Christianized multiculturalism or a Christianized ethnic pluralism.
[00:25:13]  Now, why?
[00:25:14]  Why?
[00:25:15]  Because I think that we've been absolutely saturated and even intellectually engineered.
[00:25:24]  In this diversity narrative.
[00:25:26]  And that diversity narrative has created really a sense of white guilt.
[00:25:32]  And the nationalism side of the Christian nationalist discussion, it feels racist to a lot of people, to many American Christians.
[00:25:41]  Well, I'll say this it feels racist to white American Christians.
[00:25:46]  And so to want an ethnic nationalism, an ethnic national identity, like Japan, right?
[00:25:53]  Japan, I think, is 90.
[00:25:56]  97% Japanese, right?
[00:25:58]  Russia is over 90% white Russians.
[00:26:02]  Mexico is like 90% plus Mexican.
[00:26:07]  Korea is like 95% Korean.
[00:26:10]  Almost every other, I mean, name a nation, name a nation that's not a white nation, and you're going to have ethno nationalism.
[00:26:19]  And so, but to us, to us Western Christian nations, We have been made to feel as if it's wrong to, because of this kind of ethnic plural sensitivities that we've been given, that it's wrong for us to desire that America would be mostly white or mostly European.
[00:26:45]  And as a result, I often hear Christian nationalists saying things like, all right, we have to restore a Christian culture in America.
[00:26:59]  But I would just ask a few things.
[00:27:02]  One, I don't know if you can correlate a Christian religion with a Christian culture.
[00:27:10]  I think Christianity is a religion.
[00:27:11]  I don't think it's a culture.
[00:27:13]  I think culture is more defined by geography, by food, by community traditions, customs.
[00:27:29]  I think you're going to get culture more out of that reality.
[00:27:32]  And I think I'll make my point clear in a second.
[00:27:36]  But again, if someone said, you know, we have to restore Christian culture in America, the question that I think would be wise to ask is which Christian culture?
[00:27:47]  The Hispanic Christian culture?
[00:27:50]  The Ethiopian Christian culture?
[00:27:54]  The Korean Christian culture?
[00:27:56]  The Romanian or Slavic Christian culture?
[00:28:01]  What about the Nigerian Christian culture?
[00:28:05]  What about the Brazilian Christian culture?
[00:28:09]  Which national culture will become the Christian culture in a Christianized culture in America?
[00:28:19]  And here's what I think I think that America should have an American Christian culture.
[00:28:28]  So the question then becomes well, what is an American culture?
[00:28:31]  Well, yeah, I do think that religion shapes American culture to some degree.

=== Northern Hemisphere Norms (08:26) ===

[00:28:36]  I think that it will inform that.
[00:28:39]  I think.
[00:28:40]  Hinduism certainly shapes India's culture.
[00:28:45]  But I do think that they're different.
[00:28:47]  And I think that America has a culture primarily because of its people, because of its history, because of its roots, because of who it is or who we are as a people, because of the heroes that we have, the values and the virtues that we have, the part of geography that we're in.
[00:29:08]  We're essentially a Northern Hemisphere nation.
[00:29:13]  Which, again, historically and I think biologically, is we have people with lighter skin.
[00:29:19]  We have lighter skin because we need to allow more vitamin D to be let into our skin for these northern hemispheric locations.
[00:29:30]  And so that changes things, right?
[00:29:32]  We have seasons here, seasons change our culture.
[00:29:37]  You know, down on the equator, there's really no, at least, heavily distinctive seasons.
[00:29:45]  And there's people there with darker skin and different diets and different needs for their biological reality.
[00:29:52]  So, again, I think there's a lot of these things that are playing in culture.
[00:29:55]  Actually, one thing that I think about is is it strange to be putting and importing immigrants from places that are on the equator where their skin is designed to take in lots of vitamin D with darker skin?
[00:30:12]  And because of that biological reality, they have certain foods that allow for their diet.
[00:30:17]  Is it good to be importing millions of them to Minnesota like we are doing?
[00:30:21]  Somalia is like one of the hottest places in the world.
[00:30:25]  And we're taking an equator society and we're putting them in the millions up into northern hemisphere places like Minnesota.
[00:30:41]  And to me, I just go, why?
[00:30:43]  Why would these people who are made for the equator?
[00:30:48]  Their bodies tell them that.
[00:30:49]  I mean, God didn't, you know, if God places people in certain places, we know 1 Corinthians chapter 12 says that God places people in the church as he wishes.
[00:31:00]  We also know that God counts the numbers of hairs on our head.
[00:31:04]  Why would he not also think about our skin color and place us in a particular environment that matches our skin color?
[00:31:14]  So I think there is some sort of, you know, I just know about me.
[00:31:17]  If I would look at me, I mean, I'm white.
[00:31:21]  But if I was to go to sub Saharan Africa, I wouldn't make it.
[00:31:27]  I'd have to use all types of supplementation, you know, hats and shades, and I wouldn't be able to go out during the heat of the day and whatever else might be just to survive there.
[00:31:38]  And so, same with someone from the equator moving up to the north.
[00:31:45]  I mean, I think you even see this in the population of the United States.
[00:31:50]  I mean, where are the vast majority of black people?
[00:31:53]  Living in the United States?
[00:31:54]  Well, they're living in the South.
[00:31:56]  I think that correlates and relates where the most white people live in the United States.
[00:31:59]  Well, they live in the north.
[00:32:01]  And so, again, to take people from an equator location and move them to a northern hemisphere, they're going to have to have supplementation for their own bodies.
[00:32:15]  They're going to have to probably have vitamin D as a supplement, maybe import food from different places in order to survive.
[00:32:26]  But when I look at this kind of unnatural geography or geographic relocation, It makes me feel like it's planned, it's strategic, because it's not natural.
[00:32:40]  Like, I don't think a bunch of Somalis are going, I want to go live where it's snowing half the year, where it's really cold.
[00:32:49]  I don't, I mean, I don't know.
[00:32:51]  I'm not Somali, but I do think there's some sort of organized intentionality that's there.
[00:32:58]  Same with Dearborn, Michigan.
[00:32:59]  You take Arabs living in a Mediterranean.
[00:33:05]  Subtropical reality, move into Michigan.
[00:33:09]  So I think there's something there around.
[00:33:12]  I think our skin colors certainly tell us.
[00:33:14]  I don't think there's any rules for saying that we can't move around the world, but I do believe there's a normative reality is that you want to live somewhere probably that matches your skin color.
[00:33:26]  And I think there's also transitional areas like, you know, my wife is Spanish and Hispanic.
[00:33:34]  She's got a bit of a mix there.
[00:33:36]  So, her skin is a little bit more olive, you know, a little darker than mine.
[00:33:40]  And so, you know, she's kind of a transitional zone.
[00:33:45]  But even Mexico, I mean, is like, I don't know, 2,000 miles from the equator.
[00:33:52]  And, you know, we live here in Arizona, right?
[00:33:54]  So, kind of a southern spot.
[00:33:57]  So, anyways, I think it's just a worthy conversation to think about is it good for us?
[00:34:03]  The only reason we can do it is because of our ability to be transient people in airplanes and Technological advances.
[00:34:14]  I say the same thing actually around things like is it good for us to be in Canada and importing watermelon to eat in December?
[00:34:22]  I don't know.
[00:34:23]  I just don't think it's right.
[00:34:24]  I think there's probably something that we're going to figure out about our diet that we go, yeah, you know what?
[00:34:30]  That's actually not good to be eating watermelon in December.
[00:34:34]  Nobody did that for thousands and thousands of years.
[00:34:38]  And same thing with, again, this mass migration that's kind of Mixing up people groups, you know, putting.
[00:34:46]  There's also, by the way, like, there's no like white people colonies that are like mass migrating to equator locations.
[00:34:58]  It's really just a one way migration.
[00:35:00]  We're seeing migration that's going from the equator up to these northern hemispheric nations, these white Christian westernized nations.
[00:35:11]  Well, and we know, we know the reason why.
[00:35:15]  You know, if you think about these things on the equator, this is something that I've read.
[00:35:21]  There's actually a book, I have it on my shelf.
[00:35:23]  It's called The Bell Curve.
[00:35:26]  And it talks about IQ differences between different groups and how IQ is essentially stable.
[00:35:32]  It's actually, you know, you could go for generations and it really stays the same.
[00:35:38]  And if you have nations that are on the equator and these nations don't have, The gospel, in addition to this, but they're outside.
[00:35:49]  They don't have seasons.
[00:35:53]  They don't have food prep.
[00:35:54]  They don't have the need to build indoor societies, planning ahead.
[00:36:00]  What they do do is they are outside a lot and they are physical.
[00:36:08]  And we kind of recognize that there is a physical strength of people with darker skin.
[00:36:14]  That's why they dominate the professional sports arenas.
[00:36:19]  In the North, however, you had more complex seasons, needs for interior.
[00:36:26]  Life, what do you do when you're inside, what you read, you study, you do intellectual development.
[00:36:31]  And I think over thousands of years, in combination with the gospel coming from Jerusalem to Rome to Europe and to America, essentially what we get is we have higher IQs.
[00:36:42]  And that's why northern hemispheric places have higher IQs, maybe the average of 100, where people on the equator have an IQ of between 65 and 80.
[00:36:56]  And so you have these lower IQ people that are trying to come in and migrate into the higher IQ places.

=== Visual Likeness and Patriotism (13:08) ===

[00:37:03]  Of course they are, right?
[00:37:03]  Of course.
[00:37:04]  They want what we have, they want what we've built, they want water plumbed into their house, they want to live on our welfare systems, they want all these things.
[00:37:20]  But again, the thief wants my car.
[00:37:23]  Do I give it to him?
[00:37:25]  Like the rapist wants my wife.
[00:37:27]  Do I give it to him?
[00:37:28]  No.
[00:37:29]  No, I don't give it to him.
[00:37:30]  Well, why?
[00:37:31]  Because it's not his.
[00:37:33]  And so, our nation, again, if we just go back to the Constitution, that it's, we have this place for ourselves and our posterity.
[00:37:42]  Why are we giving it away?
[00:37:43]  These people are coming in with no intention of assimilation, and they're the wrong people.
[00:37:49]  They shouldn't be allowed into this country.
[00:37:50]  They hate us.
[00:37:53]  They hate our way of life.
[00:37:54]  They hate our religion.
[00:37:56]  In fact, the crime rates, the welfare rates, they're astronomical.
[00:38:01]  They're not Americans.
[00:38:02]  They'll never be Americans.
[00:38:06]  So it's an important discussion to be having.
[00:38:10]  And again, I think if we're going to have a Christian culture in America, that it needs to be an American Christian culture.
[00:38:18]  And so the battle before us is not just whether America can be robustly Christian again, but whether America can be a nation again.
[00:38:27]  That's the question, because we've lost, we've had some degree of national suicide.
[00:38:32]  We have to ask ourselves can we become a nation again?
[00:38:34]  I think right now, Kind of more like an empire, like the American empire.
[00:38:41]  We're not so much a nation.
[00:38:43]  And I don't know what that's going to look like.
[00:38:44]  Is it going to mean that we're going to have to get smaller, get into a different group of states?
[00:38:51]  I don't know.
[00:38:52]  I don't know.
[00:38:53]  But I do know that we need to have some national purity at this point.
[00:38:59]  And so multiculturalism is never ideal because what it does is it places People or peoples competing loyalties within a shared space.
[00:39:14]  I've often said this quote.
[00:39:16]  I'm not that smart, okay, guys, but this quote was good, all right?
[00:39:22]  I was writing, I was actually, I can't take all credit for it, but I'll say this.
[00:39:26]  I was writing, or I was reading Return of the Strong Gods by R.R. Reno.
[00:39:31]  And what came to me in this comprehension of his thoughts here was that.
[00:39:39]  Nationalism creates wars with other nations, but multiculturalism creates wars within nations.
[00:39:47]  And I think that's important to understand the distinction there.
[00:39:50]  Nationalism, we get that, right?
[00:39:52]  Pre war consensus, nationalistic societies, we create wars with other nations.
[00:39:58]  But multiculturalism creates wars within nations.
[00:40:02]  And that's, I think, what we're seeing, what we're feeling.
[00:40:04]  Now, if all groups submit to Christ, visible differences like skin color, they're still going to remain.
[00:40:15]  And why does that matter?
[00:40:18]  Why does skin color matter?
[00:40:19]  Well, again, God created people with skin colors.
[00:40:24]  And so they matter because they're providential.
[00:40:27]  Well, visual likeness, just visual likeness, it produces attraction, right?
[00:40:33]  Like if you're a white guy in Japan and everybody's Japanese and you see another white guy, you're going to go over there and try to talk to him.
[00:40:41]  Hey, do you speak English?
[00:40:42]  You know, whatever it might be.
[00:40:43]  Hey, where are you from?
[00:40:44]  You know, visual likeness produces attraction.
[00:40:47]  I mean, we see this all throughout the animal kingdom as well.
[00:40:50]  You don't see sparrows hanging out with pigeons, you know, you don't see, you know, lions hanging out with bears, right?
[00:40:56]  Visual likeness.
[00:40:56]  Visual likeness produces attraction.
[00:40:58]  It also produces familiarity, trust, bonding, which in turn creates associations, right?
[00:41:05]  It creates communities, it creates culture, it creates tradition, shared history, language, all of these things, right?
[00:41:10]  In other words, outside of kind of the liberal agenda for diversity, people generally self segregate.
[00:41:19]  I think that's true.
[00:41:20]  I think that's what pisses everybody off about these ads of diversity, where it's like, A bank commercial, and you know, everybody's eating ice cream, and it's like a white lady with red hair, and then like an Asian guy, and then like a black woman, and then like a Muslim.
[00:41:38]  And it's like we hate it because it's just not reality.
[00:41:42]  Like maybe it's reality in like New York City in some random spot, but it's not reality for the average person.
[00:41:50]  So it just feels like a lie.
[00:41:52]  Generally, people self segregate, generally, you know, go to a prison for an hour.
[00:41:58]  And you're quickly going to see that skin color matters.
[00:42:02]  The blacks are going to be with the blacks, the whites with the whites, the Hispanics with the Hispanics.
[00:42:05]  That's just something that's going to happen.
[00:42:08]  And again, I think there are some ethnicities that have closer relations with one another.
[00:42:14]  I think whites and Hispanics have a little bit of a closer relationship here in the South where I live.
[00:42:21]  I think Asians and whites also have a kind of a closer relationship in Southern California.
[00:42:28]  Living outside of Irvine, I experienced that a bit too.
[00:42:31]  And so, Again, I'm not saying that we can't have interethnic friends.
[00:42:37]  I think we can.
[00:42:37]  I think many of us do.
[00:42:40]  I think that it's actually, there's nothing sinful about it.
[00:42:44]  I think it's very common.
[00:42:45]  I myself have plenty of interethnic friends as well.
[00:42:49]  I'm just saying that even within the Christian church, we're generally hanging with people who are like us.
[00:42:56]  And this is why we have Hispanic churches, we have Slavic churches, we have Black churches, we have Korean churches all across America.
[00:43:05]  In fact, I was on the site, I was looking at Southern Seminary's website, and they had a degree program.
[00:43:12]  It's still up.
[00:43:12]  You can look at this a degree program for black church leadership.
[00:43:17]  I mean, just think about how insane that would be if you had one for white church leadership.
[00:43:21]  Crazy.
[00:43:23]  But again, there is really truly a black church because, again, visual likeness produces familiarity, familiarity produces association, association produces community, community produces community.
[00:43:36]  Degree programs at seminaries for black churches, right?
[00:43:39]  So, again, beyond that, multiculturalism encourages interethnic marriages.
[00:43:46]  Now, this happens all the time.
[00:43:48]  You know, you look on TV and it's like a black guy with a white woman every single time.
[00:43:52]  I mean, it's very rare that it's anything else, but it's always black woman, black guy with a white woman.
[00:43:58]  And it's not for the sake of assimilation, but there's just all these, again, interracial relationships, like as if they're totally normal when they're like less than 2% of the population.
[00:44:14]  Now, for an example, like, you know, let's just say an Indian might marry a Korean in America.
[00:44:22]  Now, the problem with this is that it produces what I would call, at some degree, like a national orphan.
[00:44:28]  And these are children who they don't know where their loyalty, their ethnic loyalty, belongs.
[00:44:33]  Like, does it belong to India, to Korea, or to America?
[00:44:37]  Which fathers and forefathers and foremothers should they be honoring?
[00:44:43]  And again, individualism has made it so that we don't care about this.
[00:44:45]  We don't think about anything in the past except ourselves.
[00:44:52]  But when these children are Christian, they often become what I call.
[00:44:56]  Like functional Gnostics.
[00:44:59]  You know, they kind of do this thing where it's like, you know, I don't have an identity in this world.
[00:45:03]  I just identify with Christ.
[00:45:05]  And right, that's good, right?
[00:45:05]  We want to identify with Christ.
[00:45:07]  But for these people, everything becomes purely spiritual and kind of the material world doesn't matter much.
[00:45:13]  And naturally, it's difficult for these people to see the value in nationalism or ancestry or heritage because of their circumstances.
[00:45:22]  You know, if they were to value nationalism, they would essentially have to acknowledge that their own story.
[00:45:28]  Was at least not historically normative, right?
[00:45:31]  It was not, again, interracial marriage like 150 years ago was not only was it generally illegal in a lot of places, it just wasn't happening.
[00:45:42]  We don't have multicultural nations anywhere in history.
[00:45:46]  This is a new thing, 1960 and forward.
[00:45:49]  And so, again, nationalism is not about hating foreigners, it's about loving your own people and your country.
[00:45:55]  It's not about being a bigot, it's about being patriotic.
[00:45:58]  Now, the word Patriot comes from the Latin root word pater, which means father, right?
[00:46:05]  So true patriotism means loving your forefathers and loving your children and your grandchildren enough to preserve what was handed down to you.
[00:46:15]  And so recovering America is at its root about cherishing our Western European Christian heritage.
[00:46:21]  And in doing so, I believe you actually love the world.
[00:46:25]  And what I mean by that is that when strong and powerful nations like the United States or England or Germany or whatever it may be, Are Christian, I think the world is actually better or safer.
[00:46:35]  In fact, I think if you look throughout history, you see these Christian nations reaching out, sending missionaries, colonizing different places with the gospel.
[00:46:45]  So we do, we want these nations to be strong.
[00:46:49]  If we get a collapsing West, who's going to send missionaries out?
[00:46:54]  You have to send missionaries to us.
[00:46:56]  We used to be a very strong nation that would be colonizing African nations and colonizing South American nations for the gospel.
[00:47:05]  We can't do that when we are collapsing under the weight of multiculturalism.
[00:47:11]  And why does all this matter?
[00:47:12]  And because it's the basis of this show.
[00:47:16]  You cannot understand American grit without defining an American.
[00:47:20]  You know, similar to kind of the Matt Walsh famous question what is a woman?
[00:47:24]  You can't define beautiful womanhood if you don't know what a woman is.
[00:47:29]  And so to answer the question, you know, what is an American?
[00:47:32]  I'm just going to give you my best shot here.
[00:47:34]  I think an American is primarily a person born.
[00:47:38]  Of American parents, generally of European descent, who cherish and defend the historic Christian character and identity of the United States.
[00:47:47]  That's kind of my rough definition.
[00:47:50]  Now, I used to use terms like primarily and generally because I acknowledge that America has included two exceptions for nearly 400 years.
[00:48:07]  We have had a majority, or sorry, a minority of heritage American blacks whose families have been here since the early colonial period through slavery, obviously.
[00:48:20]  And there's lots of discussion around that.
[00:48:22]  We've also acquired much of the Western United States from Mexico.
[00:48:27]  That happened in 1848, which gave us a native population of heritage American Hispanics as well.
[00:48:35]  Now, until 1960, America was approximately 88% white.
[00:48:41]  By 1990, that figure had declined to about 81% white.
[00:48:47]  So historically, America is, and I believe should, remain a majority white nation.
[00:48:53]  Why?
[00:48:54]  Well, because that's its historic identity.
[00:48:57]  That's aligned with the constitutional mandate.
[00:49:01]  Now, again, if you squirm when I said that, you know, we should be a majority white nation or a majority European nation, Why are you squirming?
[00:49:15]  If I said, I believe that Nigeria should remain a majority black nation, would you care?
[00:49:20]  Or what if I said Japan should remain a majority Japanese nation?
[00:49:24]  You probably wouldn't care.
[00:49:26]  And so the truth is if you're a white American, you have been trained to hate yourself.
[00:49:32]  America was built by a specific people with a specific heritage, and it cannot survive if that people are shamed into preferring others over its own native population.
[00:49:43]  And again, it's not about hating.
[00:49:44]  It's about loving your forefathers.
[00:49:48]  A wise man once said, If you want to destroy a people, sever them from the roots.
[00:49:55]  Another man, another quote I saw was, A nation's grave is dug with the shovel of forgetfulness.
[00:50:02]  So identity drives activity.
[00:50:04]  And if we're going to actively recover historic America, we must first restore our identity.

=== Loving Your Forefathers (03:21) ===

[00:50:11]  Our people.
[00:50:13]  Our values, our virtues, our loves, they must be restored.
[00:50:17]  From that place, we can change policy and work a multi generational plan for American restoration.
[00:50:24]  Now, on that note, let's move to our next segment.
[00:50:27]  Let's talk about the weekly audit.
[00:50:36]  A couple of news stories that I want to talk about, just a few things here.
[00:50:39]  This first issue is this we got this British guy, and he is essentially, I believe he's in South America.
[00:50:51]  Sorry, not South America, South Africa.
[00:50:54]  And I wish I could show this video.
[00:50:56]  And maybe as my tech team grows, we'll get these kind of functionalities here.
[00:51:00]  But this British guy essentially asks these three Muslim men.
[00:51:08]  What they think about rape, what they think about rape.
[00:51:12]  And the first guy is like, well, yeah, it's hard because you know what?
[00:51:19]  Sometimes the woman screams, and sometimes she wakes up the neighbors and we have to calm her down.
[00:51:27]  And he's like, shocked, like, wait, what?
[00:51:29]  No, but what about the woman?
[00:51:32]  And then the next guy goes, yeah, yeah, you know what?
[00:51:38]  And with this fear that we might wake up with STDs.
[00:51:42]  And again, this British guy is shocked and he's like, No, no, what about the woman?
[00:51:49]  Do you care about the woman?
[00:51:51]  And that the third guy says, Yeah, yeah, you know, we, what if she fell pregnant?
[00:51:59]  You know, what if she fell pregnant?
[00:52:01]  That would be hard.
[00:52:01]  You know, who would be the father?
[00:52:03]  You know?
[00:52:04]  And the British guy's like, No, what about the woman?
[00:52:09]  See, the reality is that people don't, these people, when your IQ is really low, it's hard for you to distinguish right and wrong.
[00:52:20]  Like morality becomes more difficult.
[00:52:22]  On top of the fact, if you've been in a pagan nation for like thousands of years, you have like generational sin that's just coming down at such a degree that you have no morality whatsoever.
[00:52:34]  There's a quote from a book, I wish I had it up, but it's called The Camp of the Saints.
[00:52:42]  And It talks about this idea that these people won't understand you.
[00:52:47]  And he ends this quote with, They're cold.
[00:52:51]  They will burn, to keep them warm, they will burn your beautiful oak door.
[00:52:58]  And I thought that was a very important thought.
[00:53:00]  It's the idea that these people have no idea.
[00:53:02]  Like, let's just say you had a beautiful oak door that your grandfather built.
[00:53:07]  Took him two or three years of intricate, beautiful woodworking, glass embedded.
[00:53:13]  These people.
[00:53:14]  They don't even see beauty.
[00:53:16]  They'll just take that thing right off the hinges and light it as a fire to cook their food.
[00:53:20]  They have no value for these things.
[00:53:23]  And so it's just one of these things that we have to realize we're importing these people by the millions into Western cultures.

=== Organize Against Division (05:10) ===

[00:53:32]  We know that there's a quadrupling of rapes in England over the last 10 years.
[00:53:41]  And when you come to talk to them, this is what you get.
[00:53:45]  By the way, isn't it insane that we're even talking to these people?
[00:53:48]  Like, again, if you go back a couple hundred years, there's no conversation.
[00:53:54]  If a person from 200 years ago finds you after you've raped somebody, it's four or five seconds before the knife blade cuts through your throat.
[00:54:05]  It's amazing that we have sinful tolerance.
[00:54:09]  We can talk to these rapists without absolutely destroying them.
[00:54:13]  So, you can find that on my ex account at Dale Partridge.
[00:54:18]  But that's the first story.
[00:54:22]  Second story.
[00:54:24]  This is a great quote from Adam Johnston.
[00:54:27]  Man, I'm going to just use this.
[00:54:29]  I don't even know if this is his original quote, but this is something that is worth repeating over and over again.
[00:54:35]  He says, An organized minority will always defeat a disorganized majority.
[00:54:42]  An organized minority will always defeat a disorganized majority.
[00:54:48]  I think this is true.
[00:54:49]  I think this is very true.
[00:54:51]  We see this with the rainbow mafia people, right?
[00:54:55]  We saw this with the LGBT, I don't know, 2020, 2021.
[00:55:01]  You know, Rainbow, the White House, whole deal.
[00:55:04]  We had 3% of the population dominated 97%.
[00:55:08]  We had pride events that were going everywhere Target and Walmart and Chick fil A, even, and all these people bowing down to this organized minority.
[00:55:19]  And here we are, I don't know, 50, 60% of the country is Christian, and we can't organize into a strong minority.
[00:55:30]  Now, I would argue, That I think the kind of only organization that's happening right now is with the Christian nationalists.
[00:55:39]  And that's why we're being attacked because we're actually a threat.
[00:55:43]  We're actually a threat because we are as intentional as the homosexuals, as the Muslims, right?
[00:55:55]  Again, we have the Muslims, right?
[00:55:57]  You have an organized minority, they're getting together by the hundreds of the thousands.
[00:56:02]  To go bow down in prayer acts that are videotaped and thrown all over the internet.
[00:56:10]  Christians need to get serious about organization, about coalition.
[00:56:15]  We need to stop the stupid division and organize politically, socially, ecclesiastically.
[00:56:24]  We need to do this.
[00:56:25]  An organized minority will always defeat a disorganized majority.
[00:56:33]  We need to organize.
[00:56:34]  We need to get together.
[00:56:36]  That's one reason why I'm here with NXR.
[00:56:39]  I'm building some coalition that we can do this with.
[00:56:43]  Also, if you want to learn more about Christian nationalism, there's a great documentary.
[00:56:48]  I was featured in it as one of the people.
[00:56:51]  So were a few others Joel Webbin, Brian Sauvay, Calvin Robinson, Joshua Hames.
[00:56:58]  You can go to YouTube, you can watch it for free.
[00:57:00]  It is called What is Christian Nationalism?
[00:57:04]  Great.
[00:57:05]  Hour and a half documentary.
[00:57:06]  You can watch with your family, watch with your kids, watch at your church, but go ahead and check that out.
[00:57:12]  Third story.
[00:57:15]  What topic needs to be or needs the most clarity in the church right now?
[00:57:20]  This is a poll that I put up on my ex account.
[00:57:24]  About 1,600 votes.
[00:57:25]  I think that's a decent testing block here.
[00:57:29]  And I was actually shocked.
[00:57:33]  I know a lot of people are talking about Israel.
[00:57:34]  I wrote a book.
[00:57:35]  Called the Israel delusion.
[00:57:37]  You can buy on Amazon.
[00:57:40]  But I thought that immigration would probably be a little bit higher than it is.
[00:57:45]  I also thought maybe the race stuff would be a little higher.
[00:57:50]  But Israel, the discussion on Israel, I think is a very important discussion.
[00:57:56]  How far do you go?
[00:57:59]  Do we debunk dispensationalism?
[00:58:01]  Is that as far as we go?
[00:58:03]  Is the church the true Israel?
[00:58:05]  I think that's a theological discussion we need to have.
[00:58:07]  And I do agree, the church is the true Israel.
[00:58:10]  My book is very short.
[00:58:12]  It's like less than 100 pages, very easy to read, introduction to this conversation.
[00:58:17]  And then you also have The Hyphenated Heresy by Joel Webbin and JD Hall, a great book to kind of go a little bit deeper.
[00:58:26]  How much involvement is Israel in our geopolitical reality?
[00:58:31]  So, I think a lot of people obviously we're at war with Iran because of the issues with Israel.
[00:58:39]  And so, there's lots of very important discussions.

=== Biblical Defense for Colonization (01:01) ===

[00:58:42]  So, I just think this is important for us to know.
[00:58:44]  Feminism came in second, which I think everybody can relate with the reality of the collapse of society because of feminism and just the evil that it is on our society.
[00:58:56]  And then immigration and then race.
[00:58:57]  So I thought that was a fascinating discussion that is worth talking about, worth looking at, and knowing more about.
[00:59:08]  So that's a wrap for this episode.
[00:59:11]  You can follow me on X, Instagram, YouTube.
[00:59:16]  You can find any of my books on Amazon.
[00:59:19]  Next week, we're going to be talking about a biblical defense for Christian colonization and how it settled the West.
[00:59:28]  It's going to be a great episode.
[00:59:30]  So, my name is Dale Partridge.
[00:59:32]  Thank you for watching or listening to American Grit, and I'll see you guys next week.
[00:59:43]  What a beautiful day.
