Sean Davis dissects the July 2024 Trump shooting—where 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, a drone-flying IED-carrying sniper with no criminal record, fired eight shots from 150 yards using a red-dot sight, killing him after Secret Service failures exposed systemic incompetence and zero accountability. Congress received just 27 pages of FBI intel despite thousands of interviews, while CNN leaked Crooks’ identity before law enforcement confirmed it, raising ethical concerns. Tucker Carlson joins to link the attack to potential VP selection sabotage, slamming Congress as a "national security state puppet" and media complicity in political repression, warning America’s moral decay demands a Christian revival—or else its decline accelerates under elite indifference.

And then what happened to everyone who let it happen?
And then within that, like, the framework I have, trying to figure out, you know, what exactly happened is you can look at it as, like, option one.
Just a total snafu across the board.
Everyone failed.
Accidents happen.
Guy manages to get up there.
It's exactly what it looks like.
So that's option one.
And then you've got option two, which is kind of what I would call strategic incompetence.
So you have DHS, which runs Secret Service.
And the Secret Service is a soup sandwich from top to bottom.
Like, it's a disaster.
Culturally, everything about it.
Did you have people who were making that even more difficult, who were deliberately making Trump vulnerable on the off chance that maybe someone would go solve their problems for them?
So that's my number two.
My number three kind of scenario is it encompasses all the number two, but you kind of have two different hands of government.
You've got the Secret Service hand, which is totally incompetent, making them completely vulnerable.
But unbeknownst to that hand, you have this other hand.
I would call it the Russiagate hoax hand.
These people who are just always doing awful, evil things.
Was there somebody there looking for super disturbed, impressionable young men to kind of poke with the stick?
Like, you know, Trumpson Butler, you should go check that out.
So you have the incompetent hand and then the devious hand.
So that to me is option three.
And they weren't working with each other.
But they were creating the conditions to allow what happened to happen.
And then I think the fourth one is the government just killed him.
I kind of look at everything through those lenses and try to figure out, can we disprove this one?
What fits here?
And where I am now, I'm kind of between two and three.
I refuse to believe this was just a series of unfortunate accidents and incompetence that's put together.
It's just not.
I just don't believe it.
Because I've been alive for the last 10 years watching everything they do.
And yet, I don't think there's evidence for the JFK style.
We all know Lee Harvey Oswald didn't do it, right?
It's absurd.
I don't think there's any evidence, or at least I've not seen any, to suggest that was replicated here.
So I think it's somewhere in between deliberate incompetence to make him vulnerable, and then you had some cell somewhere finding someone to urge to go do it in ways that would make it very hard to trace.
This kid comes out of nowhere, manages to get on the roof, shoots President Trump, fires eight shots before anyone, even like remotely, tries to bother him.
He's able to fly a drone there for like 10 or 20 minutes.
So America First Legal, they sued to get his academic records and turns out he's a really good student.
Really good student.
I think he got his entire time in high school and college like maybe two C's.
I think one was in Spanish and one was in differential equations and the rest were mostly A's and some B's here and there.
So he was like a smart, smart kid.
One of the congressional committees did an investigation looking into it, and parents really didn't know much about their own son.
I think either the mom or the dad at the point asked, are you gay?
You're not dating anyone?
What's going on?
They don't even know what's going on there.
We know the FBI has his phone, his devices, his computer.
They know who he was talking to.
They know where he went.
They know where he bought stuff.
They know what he searched for.
And we don't know anything about that.
So there's a Senate report from the Homeland Security Committee that tried to dig into it.
And there are two congressional committees in the House and the Senate that actually did a really good job, given all the constraints they have, figuring stuff out.
So they asked the FBI all these questions because the FBI took the lead on it.
Give us all this information.
At the time the Senate put out their initial report, the FBI had given them 27 pages.
They actually don't have any legal basis to do it.
They'll say things like, well, ongoing investigation.
That's totally made up.
Even when there is an ongoing investigation and not when your suspect is dead, so like clearly no one's going to be criminally tried for that because he's dead, even that's totally made up.
There's nothing in the Constitution that says this agency that Congress created and is funded by Congress can just not give them stuff because reasons.
It's totally made up.
So I think a big reason is most people in Congress are totally weak.
But so they have a thousand interviews, over a thousand documents.
They gave the House 81. So it's just mind-blowing.
So we don't know, like...
Anything about this Crooks guy beyond, I think, like maybe a 15-minute press conference that one of the FBI, I think might have been the FBI guy out of Pittsburgh who runs that office.
Like 15 minutes of him talking in very vague, like 50,000 foot terms about what they knew.
All the places he went in the six months leading up to this.
Not just the week.
I want to know every place he went.
I want to know every person he talked to in person.
I want to know every person he had a phone conversation with, texted with, telegrammed with, signaled with.
I want to know everything he looked for on Google Maps.
I want his whole internet search history.
And I want to go through it in real time and just find out what was happening.
I assume the FBI has done that.
I know they have the capability to do it.
Why has Congress not been told anything about it?
And why have we not?
It's just, and so that kind of stuff is why it's impossible for me to look at everything and be like, well, it's just a series of unfortunate accidents.
I don't believe it, because at one point they told us, oh, he had encrypted text messages, some of which were overseas, and they just let that float out there and then never talked about it again.
So Heritage Foundation at one point, one of their guys over there, great investigator Mike Howell, I don't know how he did it, was able to get location data on devices that had been in or near Thomas Crooks' home in the weeks or months leading up to it.
Clearly he liked shooting, and right after the shooting, there were all these usual, I was a door kicker of some special operations people on TV saying that's an easy shot, 130 yards.
That's just not true.
That's just, that's a lot.
I mean, I shoot a lot.
Crooks turned a cop, a local cop, came up a ladder behind him.
Crooks, correct me if I'm wrong.
No, you're right.
Backed the cop down and then immediately assumed the prone position, got off eight shots.
Yeah, if you have like a, you know, 18x magnifier on it, you're shooting it paper and you're on a bench and you've got a nice little platform set up, that's an easy shot.
Like, you get a nice ballistic rangefinder, and it'll tell you not just, like, your horizontal distance, it'll give you your actual shooting distance, compensating for your angle of view and all that.
So they see that, and the local cops flag him as suspicious.
So the local cops start kind of getting on their radios and saying, hey, there's a dude with a rangefinder.
Like, everyone be on the lookout for it.
Secret Service doesn't really hear this because all the countersnipers, their lead countersniper, who is the most junior person on the team, which I find fascinating.
The countersnipers hadn't been used, I think, on a non-presidential event in ever.
This was the first one.
They put...
Of the four people they send, the most junior guys, the team leader, he doesn't even bother to go pick up his radio that would have given him comms with all of the local police.
That's mind-blowing to me.
I was talking to a former Army Ranger sniper friend of mine.
He was a sniper in combat, was a team leader.
And before I even started telling him kind of the stuff I learned and stuff I knew, he said, well, I mean, a radio is a sniper's most powerful weapon.
It's not the gun.
That's actually not the sniper's job.
That's like one of seven things a sniper does.
Like the most important thing they do is they observe and they record and they communicate.
And so this guy who's leading all of the counter snipers who are there, by the way, because there had been a specific long range threat against Trump from a foreign actor that they knew about.
That's why they were there.
The guy doesn't even bother to get his radio.
And so when Trump is on stage, when you've got all the local cops setting their hair on fire trying to get this guy who they know has a rangefinder, he's acting super weird, at one point you have local law enforcement starting to draw their weapons.
That's something you would think maybe the Secret Service people on stage or the guys on roofs would want to know about.
So, and they didn't even have a unified command post.
They had the secret service in one little area and then they had the local guys over here and then they had I think one or two people who were local in the secret service command post, but they didn't actually have a unified command post, which is also bonkers.
He had been with the Secret Service, I think, for six years.
No prior military experience.
No prior sharpshooter or sniper experience.
He showed up, worked for two years, because you have to work like a desk or trailing someone for two years before you can be a countersniper.
And then he had been a counter-sniper for the rest of his time there.
Now, I personally find that kind of crazy.
I would think if you want someone whose job is to think what a sniper thinks like and be able to have countermeasures and protect against that, you'd probably want a guy who had done that job before.
So you had a guy who, no prior military experience, no prior sniper experience.
He actually wasn't a sniper.
He was a sharpshooter.
He could shoot.
I'm sure he could shoot well from long range.
But that doesn't make you a sniper.
You have to know.
You have to know so much.
There's recon.
There's observing.
There's getting into position.
There's communicating.
There's recording.
Those are all the things that people who go into sniper school in the military spend weeks and weeks doing before they ever touch a gun.
And they'll talk about like, you can kind of teach anyone to shoot a gun.
That's the easy part.
It's mechanical.
It's learning all the other stuff.
It's like the real value in the job.
So this guy never had that.
Just ta-da!
He's a counter sniper now.
So he's setting up his perimeter.
He had no idea when he set the people up where he wanted them for the event.
So you've got Trump on stage.
You've got three barns behind him.
To Trump's three o'clock, which is directly north, you've got that AGR building where the shooter was.
The sniper team set up directly behind Trump on two of the three barns behind him.
The ones that we've all seen in that shot where you've got one guy on the tripod who pops up and looks around, and then you've got the other guy who's prone.
They never saw the shooter because there's a gigantic tree in their way.
From where they were, line of sight, to where the building was where Crooks shot, gigantic tree, blocking like a third of the building.
They never told the cops, number one, that their job was to be scoping out that roof.
All of the cops from the local police forces who were there to provide sniper coverage, first off, they were never told that they were counter snipers.
They were told they were overwatch.
So they set up in an area in the building where they had a great shot of the crowd, pretty much the entire crowd.
And they're watching it the whole time.
They had no idea that they were supposed to be looking at a building roof, which is 180 degrees to their left.
And because of how the window opened, it was like one of those, I think they call them casement windows.
They've got the crank.
So you've got to crank it and then it slowly opens.
It's not a double sash that opens top and bottom.
I don't think they could have seen that if they had wanted to.
Just because of how that window opened, they'd have to get around.
Like almost leaning out the window to see.
Which, of course, they're not going to be doing because they think their job is crowd overwatch.
So those guys somehow get blamed in media reports by people who are obviously Secret Service sources.
Well, we put them in that building.
That was their responsibility.
And all of them were like, no, that was never our responsibility.
We're getting to the most basic facts of life, which is the armed people are in charge.
And so, you hate to think that's the rule in America, but do you think it's possible that people were afraid to mess with the Secret Service because no one wants to mess with the bodyguards?
With Donald Trump returning to the White House, this country has a unique opportunity, maybe our last opportunity, to save ourselves from the anti-American and anti-human left.
But our efforts may be stymied by the deep state.
That's what happened to the first Trump term.
Permanent Washington stands in the way of all efforts to improve the lives of ordinary Americans.
And right now they are scheming to do the same thing to the second Trump administration.
They are determined to keep their stranglehold on power, regardless of elections, anti-democratically.
Well, one way you can is by supporting the Heritage Foundation, which is in Washington and understands exactly how it works in such a way that they're a threat and they're under attack.
You know who's effective because they're the ones under attack.
Heritage has a comprehensive plan to dismantle permanent Washington and restore the country to its democratic foundations.
It's important.
Visit heritage.org slash Tucker to learn more and to support this critical effort.
And when you make a gift today, you get a free pocket constitution to make certain that you are equipped with the founding principles on your person at all times.
It's amazing to read it.
Again, that's heritage.org slash Tucker.
So of the eight shots, where did they go, those eight shots?
I think they were only able to find actual bullet fragments.
From two.
So there were actually, there were ten shots fired total.
There were eight from Crooks.
There was one from a local law enforcement officer who shot almost simultaneously with Crooks' eighth shot.
So you have one, two, three.
You had a burst of three.
Then you had a burst of five.
And then the five all went high.
One of them hit a hydraulic line.
On one of those telehandlers or lulls or cranes behind it.
So it starts spewing hydraulic fluid everywhere and you see it drop all of a sudden after the hydraulic line gets punctured if you watch the video again.
So I think that was from that second group.
So it was three and then five.
As Crooks fired his eighth shot, a local officer fires his gun at Crooks.
He swears he got him.
There's no forensic medical evidence that he did.
But there's no firing from Crooks after that point, after that eighth shot.
And then, 15 seconds later, comes the shot that kills Crooks.
So you have the sniper who's on the roof who takes the shot.
He's been watching.
So like if you are crooks, if you're where the shooter is and I'm where Trump is, the guy who shot him is looking here and all the way over here the whole time.
He has to get up, orient himself to where the shots are coming from, where if he's got like earmuffs on or ear protection on, that can be kind of hard to do.
Because those play tricks with locating sound.
So he's got to locate the guy where the shots are coming from.
Has to make identification of the guy who's got the gun.
I had someone come to my range, just at my house, and with his grandfather's.300 Win Mag, we were just shooting on Sunday afternoon, and he just charges the thing, and I was like, man, no more of that.
And then you have the counter sniper team lead who had convinced himself that because they had local cops in the building, that that was their job to be watching that, even though it was physically impossible for them to do.
And they were never told they had to do that.
And then the one guy who had a sight line to that was assigned a sector that was exact opposite of it.
Silverware was taken as evidence because he was mixing bombs in his house.
I did not read anywhere that when officers showed up, because they interviewed one ATF agent who was actually in the home and who was the one who discovered the IED in Crooks' bedroom.
No mention of no silverware.
He's like, no, it's a normal house.
It was well-kept.
It was clean.
It's not like a bunch of sloppy hoarders lived there.
It was like a nice, normal house in order.
Yeah, so I don't know where the silverware, because I've heard the same thing.
I've not read a single report from someone who was there that says, yeah, we got in there and there's no silverware.
I suspect that they took it to test it forensically to see if he was mixing bombs with it.
Because he had a gallon of nitromethane in his closet.
But we still don't know anything about him or why he did this.
We also don't know why, according to your account, why the Secret Service made this colossal error in judgment and just left out an entire quadrant of a potential field of fire, just kind of ignored it.
So, the Secret Service at the Butler event for Trump was actually having issues with their radios because they were getting bleed over from the radios from the agents at Jill Biden's event.
Yeah, so two was what I call strategic incompetence, where Trump was deliberately left vulnerable.
And I think that for a whole host of reasons.
One, that I'm conscious and I've been alive.
But right after the shooting, My wife and I were together working on home projects and we hadn't been paying attention to our phones and so started getting texts from people.
My wife got a text from her friend.
Trump's been shot.
We're just kind of stunned.
Immediately pray because we don't know what the result is.
A couple minutes later, text that he's okay.
And then right after that, my phone starts going crazy.
I'm getting texts and everything.
One of the most interesting texts I got, which I tweeted about, was that the Secret Service Special Operations Division, which is kind of like the elite division within the Secret Service, if you can say that, they had been asking for more protection for years for Trump, repeatedly, over and over again.
And it was denied, repeatedly.
Denied so much that they just stopped asking for it.
Because it was kind of viewed as if you ask for something you're not going to get, it's like gauche.
I mean, that's a kind of attempted murder, really.
So, I just don't understand how, I mean, disobedience to the regime is punished immediately, tax evasion is punished immediately, but, like, attempted murder is not?
The only thing they have is a serial number on his rifle.
So, they call up ATF and they do what's called an urgent trace to figure out where was this gun bought.
And I think it takes them.
Dettelbach, the ATF director, says it took him 30 minutes.
I think it took like two hours.
But they know by around like 8.30.
Definitely by nine-ish that the dad bought the gun and where he bought it from.
And it was from a retailer that had since been closed.
They put together a report, like a pretty narrow distribution of people.
I think it went to Pennsylvania State Police so local police could go stake the place out.
Went to FBI. ATF had it.
But it's a very, very small distribution.
And we know because we got the testimony from the guy who sent it out.
ATF and a couple cops are sent to go do a stakeout on Crooks' father's house.
So they get there, we'll call it like 10 or 1030. At that point, they're already seeing cars slowly drive by in ways that obviously they don't live on that street.
At I think 1056, they get a word from a dispatcher that Crooks...
Father has called 911 to report his son missing.
At that point, they're no longer doing a stakeout.
They have to go confront him, because obviously he knows something.
They go up to his door, he meets them out there, and he says, is it true, was it my son?
And they ask him, why would you say that?
He said, CNN called me and told me.
He got two calls from CNN and a call from an NBC producer.
To be active participants in the repression of a population by its government is like pretty, it's like capo behavior.
It's like really, really dark and evil.
And that's who they are.
I spent 10 years there, I know.
Millions of Americans are still clinging to their New Year's resolutions, but some goals transcend the flipping of the calendar.
Being prepared should always be a goal.
When a crisis hits, the last thing you want is to be scrambling for something basic, like medication.
And that's why the Jace case changes the game.
The Jace case is your personal emergency supply of life-saving medications, antibiotics, critical prescriptions, things you're actually going to need when pharmacies are not available.
The Jace Case's protection is totally necessary.
So as you're planning for the rest of this year, make emergency preparedness a top priority.
We don't know what's coming next.
We do know preparation beats panic every single time.
So with the Jace Case, you'll have peace of mind knowing that you are ready for whatever happens.
Go to JaceCase.com, enter the code TUCKER to make sure you have the right meds on hand when you need them, which is usually the moment when you can't get them.
Jace.
I didn't fully know when I was there, but like, yeah, no, they're not observers at all.
The lack of control over the federal agencies by the executive, by the White House, is like, I hope we never see that again, because that's really dark.
But anyway, yeah, CNN, very, very bad.
Is there, I know I've asked the same question 15 times, but I just, I can't believe there's no real answer.
We don't know anything about who Crooks talked to?
It's just interesting that this seems like one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you, and I do think you're probably the most informed person in all media, though I don't know if you'd admit to being in media, but do you think of yourself as in media?
The journalists I respect more are all people who could be doing something else, making a lot more money, who didn't set out to do this, just sort of out of curiosity and patriotism and, you know.
Kind of, like, moral responsibility are doing it.
So, and you're in that category.
So, thank you.
But anyway, the reason I want to talk to you was it felt like if you can do something as obvious as set up a shooting of Donald Trump in the summer of an election year and get away with it, like, then you're still in control of everything.
But JD's been told they're mulling the idea of him going to Butler, and then Trump's like, nah, we don't really want to do that.
We haven't done the prep and all that, so we'll just put a pin in that.
That was the last rally before he had announced a VP. So that's, if you are a crooked, evil deep stater, and you want to get rid of the virus that is Donald Trump, and make sure that he doesn't get to pick the person who would be running in his stead if something happened.
All the people I know who knew that are good people who love Trump, but I mean, I'm not suggesting anything, but I'm just, in point of fact, a lot of people knew it.
Yeah, I think unless I'm like totally Getting my wires crossed.
I'm pretty sure that guy got a Medal of Freedom and there's a picture of him with Ralph, this homeless Hawaiian mercenary bringing troops to Ukraine who's camped out on Trump's golf course after Trump's already been shot in the head and a Secret Service guy happens to see him.
I think the report I read was he was five feet away.
Fires like ten rounds at him.
Misses.
And it was local cops who got the guy 45 minutes later.
Obviously, the more responsibility you take, if you're going to take 100% of the powers you've been given by the founders and the Constitution and exercise that every day, you're going to have 100% of the accountability.
There's nothing a member of Congress politician hates more than accountability.
So you can answer this question, but as I just look onto the Congress, where I've never worked, but it seems like the single most corrupt or certainly the most infuriating part of the Congress is the Republicans in the Senate.
I don't know if something happens when you become a Republican senator that happens to like 90% of them where they get there and they just like being important and that becomes the thing they care about.
And they're so...
You talked about the media being a player.
The media exists in large part to gaslight Republicans into doing what they want.
And so these guys, for whatever reason, they care what CNN thinks about them.
They care what the New York Times thinks about them.
And they don't understand that if you actually want to be powerful as a Republican, not caring what anyone thinks about you makes you a freaking superhero.
And that kind of bleeds into 04. And then you get the 06 thing where I don't think we even elected a new Republican senator because it was such a political bloodbath because the Iraq war was a disaster.
Then 08, you've got the Obama years.
And then the first kind of big year was 2010. That was all Tea Party.
Those guys still have the Tea Party mentality, which is fine.
I think the Tea Party was great.
But you have to be able to evolve with the electorate.
They're still stuck in Tea Party town.
And then 2014 was the repeal Obamacare.
That was the thing.
And it really wasn't until 2016 where you actually started seeing a change that was reflective of where the people are.
Happened again in 2018. And then most of the guys coming in now are so much better than the people they serve with who got elected 20 years ago that it's not even close.
And yet, they're still senators.
They still care about what people think about them.
Someone like you or me will never, ever be in that body.
But what's interesting is it's not on questions like, you know, we spent all this time on the training question, which I think is inherently important.
And I do think if you eliminate sex differences, civilization collapses because they're built on sex differences.
That's my view.
So I'm completely aligned.
I couldn't be more pro-life.
And I think there are tons of...
Republicans in both houses who agree with all that, or say they do, or do a good job of pretending.
It's fine.
It's the national security intel stuff, the police power stuff, surveillance power stuff.
Unless you're going to do real oversight, which I think one person, Devin Nunes, has ever done on that committee, the only reason to be on that is to be cool.
You get to be with the spies, and you get read in on it, and they make you feel special, and you get to go on Codells, and then maybe one day they'll write a book about you, like Charlie Wilson's War, about how courageous you were in shipping a bunch of weapons all around the world and starting wars that we're still dealing with the ramifications of.
Like, it's the Jason Bourne, like John le Carré kind of stuff that they actually think they're a part of.
I mean, way more evil than, like, You know, I think Head Start was a disaster.
Social Security is bankrupting the country.
Medicare, you know, there's all these problems with social workers.
But you don't look at that and say the people who started that are evil.
They're just, like, dumb or they didn't foresee the consequences of what they were doing.
But, like, the people who, you know, cheered the murder of Gaddafi or never admitted they lied about weapons mass destruction, the people pushing, you know, claiming that we should lower the...
Conscription age in Ukraine to 18 because we haven't killed enough Ukrainians after a million have died or been wounded.
When you see the scars they bring back to the mental, emotional, spiritual, some of them deal with it way better than others, but there's a reason the suicide rate is so high.
And the divorce rate, and the addiction rate, and the weirdness rate, and the deep, kind of heavy trouble that you feel on a lot of them.
God, my gosh, I don't blame them.
A lot of them are wonderful, admirable people, and they were asked to do something, and they did it, and they did it under duress, and at great personal risk, and I admire them.
I'm not criticizing them.
Just saying, not to acknowledge what we've asked them to do, not to acknowledge the burden of having killed somebody.
And I remember him, my sister and my aunt and uncle, and I went with this other uncle and his wife to do this training, and he made us sit in a classroom for like a whole day.
And he drilled into us, what's the number one rule of gunfights?
Be somewhere else.
And then what's the second rule of gunfights?
Have a gun!
But he's like, yeah, if you're paying attention, like, if you're aware and you know what's going on around you, you should have the ability and the awareness to never be in a position to ever have to do it.
I wonder, you know, the calls for gun control, which are, you know, obviously cyclical, like, every time there's...
Some tragedy, some mass shooting, some of which do seem like they were inspired by the FBI, but I can't prove it.
But anyway, there's always like three or four days of the media getting hysterical about gun control, taking your guns away.
Those seem more half-hearted than they used to be.
Maybe I'm being paranoid.
And I'm wondering if maybe technology, the convergence of AI and drone technology, isn't advancing to the point where the people in charge know it doesn't matter whether you have a gun anymore.
I don't know how I, as Joe Blow or you, just out minding our business.
You're not defeating a weaponized drone storm at all.
And I feel like Democrats, especially the ones who are all about gun control, know this because they'll say things like, oh, you think your AR is going to help you?
Well, they don't believe in human autonomy, obviously.
So they don't see other humans as human.
They see them as slaves.
You know, I think it's pretty obvious that they see them as objects, you know, who have no inherent rights, no inherent dignity, whose lives aren't really worth anything.
That's why they love abortion.
And they, you know, if you really saw people as creations of God who exist independently from you and your desires, then, like, there's a degree to which you can control people, but then beyond that, you can't.
Especially the new kind of, like, managerial leftism.
They look at it and they say, okay, we've got this fixed population of people and I can move this lever and I can move this lever and I'll twist this thing and then I can get those people to do what I want.
We're really just inputs, things that can be tweaked according to them.
We're not people who have souls.
We're not eternal beings who have infinite value.
We're just things to be manipulated so they can get what they want.
I think a lot of people felt this whether they said it out loud or not, but this election was the last chance to turn away from what was a certain future of enslavement.
That's not an overstatement.
Who wins?
In five years, what's your best guess for where we are?
I'm not an optimist, and it has nothing to do with politics.
I agree with you.
I think this election was kind of a last chance, but it wasn't a guarantee.
And my worry is that our politicians are a function of the people.
John Adams, it was either John Adams or Franklin, said our system of government is wholly unsuited to an immoral people.
We were a nation found on Christian principles by Christian men who put Christ And God is the foremost things in their lives.
And everything else was built around it.
Our government was built around it.
The way we organized the states was built around it.
And it worked for a really long time until that foundation started to crumble.
And I don't know when that started.
Was it the Industrial Revolution?
Was it Vietnam and the druggy era?
I don't know.
But our moral fabric as a people is Totally unrecognizable to someone who helped start the country.
And so, my view is, absent a true collective Christian revival where we collectively repent for what we've done as a nation, because God cares about nations.
He cares about the fate of nations.
He cares what nations do.
He blesses them and He curses them and He judges them and He lets them prosper.
Our nation had a covenant with God.
It was obvious why we were formed.
Because we want to have a place where people can come.
Around me, just in my tiny little weird world, but people who I don't think have ever thought about God talking about God, I read that Bible sales are the highest they've been in a long time.
So it turns out that YouTube is suppressing this show.
On one level, that's not surprising.
That's what they do.
But on another level, it's shocking.
With everything that's going on in the world right now, all the change taking place in our economy and our politics, with the wars on the cusp of fighting right now, Google has decided you should have less information rather than more.
And that is totally wrong.
It's immoral.
What can you do about it?
Well, we could whine about it.
That's a waste of time.
We're not in charge of Google.
Or we could find a way around it, a way that you could actually get information that is true, not intentionally deceptive.
The way to do that on YouTube, we think, is to subscribe to our channel.
