| America has a trinity. | |
| I call it the American Trinity. | |
| I didn't come up with the contents, but I came up with the name. | |
| I took it from every coin in America. | |
| In God we trust liberty, e pluribus unum. | |
| From many one, in God we trust in liberty. | |
| The diminution of God in America is the diminution of liberty in America. | |
| Now, you could say they're not related, but you cannot deny that they coincide with one another. | |
| As America has become more secular, it has become less free. | |
| How's that? | |
| In Iran, it's the opposite. | |
| The more religious, the less free. | |
| Depends on the country, depends on its values. | |
| Liberty has not been an Islamic value. | |
| This is not a knock on Islam, it's not a compliment, I acknowledge that, but it's just, it's not part of the Islamic nature, which is to impose. | |
| Islam really does mean, it means submit. | |
| It wants people to submit. | |
| The ideal in Islam is a Sharia-based society. | |
| And certainly Protestant Christianity, liberty has been a very big part of it. | |
| You can't deny it. | |
| It was Protestants who founded the United States, Protestants who led the crusade against slavery. | |
| And liberty has been part of the Protestant message. | |
| You're free. | |
| If one is intellectually honest, that is at the heart of the Protestant message. | |
| You read the Bible, you understand it without an intermediary, in that case meaning the church. | |
| I'm not taking a stance, Catholic versus Protestant. | |
| I'm a Jew. | |
| I'm not involved in that dispute. | |
| But one has to be honest that... | |
| The United States was founded by Protestant Christians for whom liberty was an essential integral part. | |
| And as that has declined in America, as Americans, most Americans of any given religion were Protestant. | |
| But that has been in decline because everything the left touches. | |
| It destroys the left's rot, the termite. | |
| That leftism has eaten away at the foundations of Protestant Christianity. | |
| It's eaten away at Catholicism. | |
| It's eaten away to Judaism. | |
| Non-Orthodox Judaism has largely become a joke. | |
| It's a tragedy. | |
| There was once greatness to reform and conservative Judaism. | |
| They're intellectual and religious wastelands now. | |
| They're leftism with Hebrew. | |
| Mainstream Protestant churches. | |
| Our leftism with Jesus. | |
| And same with the Pope as a leftist. | |
| So there's a lot at stake here. | |
| The American Trinity is at stake. |
