It's a 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.200 fascinating commentary at Bill O'Reilly dot com and he is 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.080 here today to share that with us. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:17.320 Welcome Bill O'Reilly. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.440 Thanks for Amy Rose. How are you? Oh? 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.000 I'm great. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.079 I'm so glad I have an opportunity to talk to you. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.360 I was listening to what you had to say about 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.639 your last trip to China last year, and you said 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.959 that the Chinese invited you personally to come out and 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.160 visit with them, and then you told us that China 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.280 wanted to talk to you before the president arrived. How 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.480 was this kind of access established between you and China 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.040 through Harvard? 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:50.239 So I'm alumni and Harvard does tens of millions of 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:56.440 dollars worth of business with China, and the Paula Buro 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:01.200 over there watches me on YouTube. Has changed the way 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.520 all commentary is delivered, as you know, Rose, And they 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:11.040 know that I know Donald Trump for thirty five years, 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.840 so they wanted to get an inside view of the man, 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.280 and that's why they invited me. I've hid my own way. 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.440 I don't take any money from anybody, and I did 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.360 run it by President Trump before I accepted the invitation 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.440 because that's my duty as a citizen. I can't be 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:38.320 just gallivan around inserting myself into government issues, but he 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.920 was fine with it. And then today, actually I had 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:47.000 another call with the Chinese as the president gets on 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.880 his plane to go over to Beijing, and his situation 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.840 has changed than what it was one year ago, with 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:56.760 particularly where they were run. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.720 You know, this is amazing because you have an opportunity 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.840 that not many In fact, I can't even think of 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.400 someone right now off the top of my head actually 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.400 have to be that go between. Is astounding, and I'm 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.240 sure you feel very honored. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:13.840 To have that. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.720 It's mixed emotion. We researched that nobody's ever done this 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.600 as far as being a journalist and then a diplomat. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.080 If you want to use that word, I don't. It's 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.080 not you often applied to me in the United States. 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:35.120 But China's a different culture, so they're probably more used 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:42.960 to robust behavior than here. But it's a very very 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:50.560 tight rope and my job is to represent my country. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:54.440 I mean, what did Chinese wanted when we spent three 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:59.800 hours with them last time around was look, if we 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.240 do this, what will President Trump do? And I was 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:07.520 able to provide pretty good analysis of that. This time around, 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.920 it was what the deuce are you doing in Iran, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.080 And I said, you'll have to ask the president. That's 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.520 not my See, I don't know. I don't get the 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.920 daily and tell briefings. I do know that this is 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:25.919 a country that causes disorder. And I use that word 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.240 because that's the worst thing you can do to the 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:37.920 Chinese is caused disorder. That's for business. They don't want it. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:44.400 And I dropped that today so that they would know 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:50.160 there is a reason that the United States has tried 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.720 to neutralize the government of Iran. 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.400 All right, so they bring up Iran and you just did, 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.920 And I've got to ask you, would they really want 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.719 to provide help or assistance in any way where Iran 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.720 is concerned, because we know that they receive their gas 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.039 from Iran, they would have we would have to encourage 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.760 them to look elsewhere or receive it from elsewhere. Do 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.000 you really feel that they would want to help us, 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:19.039 because in the past, Bill, I've read about the unholy alliance, 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:23.320 if you will, between North Korea, China, Russia, Iran. How 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.280 much can we really depend on them to help us 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:26.200 where that is concerned. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.000 Well, nobody can answer the question now whether China's going 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.560 to help the United States with the Iranian thing, but 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:38.200 there's certainly an incentive to do that. If China helps you, 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.720 they're going to want something. Yeah, and what they want 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:49.840 is a dialogue on Taiwan. She is crazy about it 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.800 is a crazy issue on Taiwan. It's almost like Trump 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:59.080 and the Boarder. And they want the United States to 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.840 sanction the opening of parks or whatever you want to 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:10.960 label it about Taiwan. If they got that assurance, they 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.080 might very well help with the Iranians because the Iranians 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.480 need China. As you pointed out, China can buy it's 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:24.680 oil elsewhere they're not to buy from Iran, and that's 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.160 one of the few markets Iran has left. And the 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.880 Chinese are a big footprint. I mean, they help Iran 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.360 in other ways too. Ran doesn't want them to be 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:40.480 an enemy. So all of this is the President is 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.920 aware of it, se Rubio is aware of it. They 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.760 know that once they go over to Beijing and it's 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.800 going to be a big dog and pony show. I mean, 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:56.200 the Chinese are very happy that President Trump is going there, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:02.440 very happy, and I expect a positive outcome come Friday, 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.559 praying for that. Our country needs some positive stuff, whether 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.520 the Chinese will step up and do anything publicly against Ron, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:17.760 probably not, but behind the scenes they could very well 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.040 help the USA. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.640 When it comes to Taiwan though, because I mean that 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:29.000 remains the biggest geopolitical flashpoint in this entire relationship because 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.560 of what they produce. Of course, the massive shares of 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.520 our semiconductor ships in the worlds I guess, but I 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.959 can't imagine that there would be some mutual ground or 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.560 somewhere we can actually agree with them where Taiwan is concerned. 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.720 I've come up with one or two because I knew 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.400 that was going to be big when I went over 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.880 to Beijing in two THO forty nine is one hundredth 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:59.000 anniversary of Mazitung's takeover, and he's on the cover of 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.920 Confronting Evil, and so it is the AYATOLLAHMANI. So these 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:09.240 are not gentle countries that we're dealing with here, but 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:18.800 Taiwan is a place where the Chinese symbolism is very important. Now, 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:24.200 everybody knows that the Taiwanese will fight. It's not Ukraine. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.400 They're well armed and it would be a bloodbath for 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.160 China to go in there. Everybody also knows if China 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.960 does that that there will be a pariah and there'll 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.280 be economic sanctions all over the place, and it will 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:44.360 be a disruption of order. Remember, they don't want that. 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.320 So what she is trying to do is just open 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:54.800 the possibility that maybe we could have a hybrid, maybe 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.120 we could do this that or the other thing. But 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.760 let's start to chat. And that does not seem to 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.599 be unreasonable to me. But I did suggest to the 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:13.000 Chinese today the President Trump is not going to allow 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.280 Taiwan to go down a drain. Now, he would be 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.079 perceived as weak and that's the worst thing for him. 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.840 The word is thing that the Chinese is this order. 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.439 The worst thing for Donald Trump is a perception of weakness. 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:27.400 He's never going to do that. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.160 Well, yeah, and that makes a lot of sense, So 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.000 thank you for that. And so we heard too that 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.600 the White House has invited major American business leaders by 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:42.720 Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Oweing CEO. So that alone tells 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.720 us how deeply business and technology and even geopolitics are 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.839 now connected. So when you look at that and you 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.400 see that some of the biggest issues on the table 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.120 right now, I guess they're going to be trade in 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.400 technology and ai what do you make of all of that. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.440 What are we expecting by bringing some of these big 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.719 names and big leaders in industry there. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.400 Well, it isn't China who wanted those CEOs. It was 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.160 the Trump administration and it was a very shrewd move 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.600 because what they're trying to do is bring these guys 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:22.559 over in a very informal way. It sounds contradictory, but 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.559 it isn't to get to know their counterparts in Beijing 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.199 so that they can put on paper some kind of 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.600 trade deals, and of course President Trump would have to, okay, 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:41.880 but they want the Chinese to understand that America is 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:48.520 open for business and that is something that Chinese really 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.439 respond positively to. 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.600 Yeah, because having the presence of those major CEOs, that's huge, 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.840 and also it highlights something like I American corporations are. 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:05.679 They remain heavily tied to China economically, and this is 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.880 even while political tensions are always rising, going up and down. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.679 But at the same time a lot of companies are 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:15.240 trying to diversify manufacturing in places like India, Mexico, and 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.760 Southeast Asia. I guess it wouldn't hurt to kind of 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.000 mention that or I'm sure this administration has that they 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.840 want to continue to have some sort of technology sharing 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:25.880 and so forth. 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.839 With the CA do this whole two day meeting, and 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.800 you can't get a lot done in two days. So 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:37.000 I assume if it goes well, and it should, that 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.360 there'll be another bigger meeting in Washington in the summer. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.840 The key to all of this is we can work 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.720 out trade deals that are very favorable of both countries. 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.439 That can be worked out, but we need your assistance 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:59.920 Beijing on X, Y and Z. So that's how probably 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:00.560 go down. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.640 So when I have to go back, just for a 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:09.920 moment to the amount of oil that China purchases from Irun, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.640 what they in your opinion, can you see that really 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.720 stopping really and looking for other resources. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.640 China doesn't care where it gets its oil from. It 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.679 wants a good price for the oil and that can 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.480 be negotiated. It's a lot easier to get the oil 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.880 from North America to China and it is from Iran 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:38.280 to China. So you know, the setting is there. We 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.520 have we are exploiting oil. Now people don't know this, 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.920 Americans don't know this. But one of the reasons your 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:49.040 gas pump is so high is because the American oil 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.720 companies are shipping this stuff overseas to make even more money. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:59.360 VP made one hundred profit in one quarter after this 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:07.680 Arraine and Madness starfit. So we have the oil enough 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:12.200 to sustain us. We're sitting overseas, so these oil companies 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.560 can make more money. It's crazy, but it's happening. 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.959 You're so right about that. I have to ask you this. 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.240 I'm very curious about your opinion on the perception that 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:26.440 President She has of our President Trump. I mean, would 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:30.080 you say it's admiration, curiosity, intimidation. What are your thoughts 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:31.760 on that, because you would know you would have a 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:32.760 really good handle on that. 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.360 I don't know she, but I know is second in 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:44.000 command pretty well. She likes flattery, and who else likes flattery? 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:46.120 Let me guess. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:53.760 Okay, so that's where you start. She fashions himself as 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.120 the new mau Ones. You're down in history as one 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.320 of the great Chinese leaders Donald Trump and Sagana, and 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:06.480 she's one of the great American presidents. So there's common 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.640 ground there, and both men flatter each other. Nothing wrong 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:12.920 with that. I'm much right to have that than what 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:19.360 we got in iron right, they're both deal makers. She 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:27.680 is more ideological than Trump, whereby he is a fanatical communist. 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:32.160 I mean, it's just crazy how that communist thing is 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:38.000 seized that country because under communism, no one has any rights, 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:42.560 no human being has any rights at all, none, But 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.240 they love it. And I asked some point blank. I said, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.880 how can you support a government where all of your 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:55.000 citizens are subjugated by the government. How can you do that? 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.320 And they go, we have to govern one point five 0:15:58.440 --> 0:15:59.440 billion people. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:04.480 Per Bill Riley. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.720 They're playing the music underneath you know what. I am 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.720 so glad I had the opportunity to talk to you. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.920 I loved hearing what you had to say and your 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:11.880 input and your insight. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.320 Thank you so much, Thanks for having me Rose. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.400 Take care. We'll be back with more Sean Hannity right 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:17.800 after this. 0:16:24.200 --> 0:17:15.879 Thanks for listening to Sean Hannity, working every day to 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:21.320 remember the forgotten man. This is the Sean Hannity Show. 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:24.880 Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show. 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.879 My name is Rose. Joining me this hour is the 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.160 faith director for the White House. Her name is Jenny Corn. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.040 I've had her on before with me. I'm so glad 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:34.880 to have her back, and she's going to talk about 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:39.120 her thoughts on the nation's faith issues and its birthday 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:40.600 two hundred and fifty years. 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:41.879 Jenny Corn, how are you. 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.320 I'm wonderful, Rose, Good afternoon. It's so good to be 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.439 on with you. Hello, and God bless you to all 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:48.120 your listeners. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:49.879 Oh that is so sweet. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.240 We are so glad that we even have this Faith 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.960 Office there at the White House. That's amazing in and 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.560 of itself. But you know, it's so significant because a 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.400 lot of what we talked about today, Jenny, this about 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.639 our two hundred and fifty years of a republic, and 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:07.119 it was so important. Benjamin Franklin even suggested that it 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.880 might be difficult to keep this republic, and I think 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.359 we have, but I do believe it's hanging on by 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.520 a thread. And I think a lot of it depends 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.760 on all of us, because this nation was established on 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.800 faith and the belief that God and God alone is 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.840 the one who offers us freedom and liberty. Because if 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.520 man did, Jenny, then man could take it away from us. 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.680 But our freedom comes from above. So when we look 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.560 at this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, it's more than 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.080 just a date, or more than just marking something on 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:38.040 a calendar, isn't it. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:39.320 Oh? 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.280 Absolutely, I mean, and I'm so glad that you're concentrating 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.840 on this. And as you said, we're the first ever 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.920 historic White House Faith Office, and that is because of 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.359 President Trump put it in the West Wing as a 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:54.320 direct report to him, working on policy that sects a 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.280 daily American. Some people ask us, you know, do you 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.640 pray all day in the Faith Office? I will tell 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.679 you yeah, yes we pray, but that is not our 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.000 sole job. Our job is to make sure that people 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.680 of faith have a voice in their government and that 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.760 the government is not discriminating against them. And to your point, 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.119 this country is not guaranteed, just like our office is 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.639 not guaranteed. It is up to Americans to ensure that 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.240 we go back and remember what our founding is. That's 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.120 such a great that it's two hundred and fifty years 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:24.600 because people are paying attention to it. 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:24.800 Right. 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.280 You've got corporations, you've got the governments, you've got churches, 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.480 you've got other entities who are going, oh this is 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:31.080 too fifty. 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:32.120 What does it mean? 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:33.159 Who are we? 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.840 Where did we come from? And what we're doing on 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.119 this Sunday, May seventeenth, here on the National Mall and 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.159 all of your listeners are invited. We want you to 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.199 come and you can find all the information I'm going 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.280 to talk about on rededicate to fifty dot gov. But 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.520 we're going to talk about God's hand in the founding 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.639 of our nations. Where did we come from, why do 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.399 we have the most free country in the whole world, 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.439 and then how do we keep it? So we're going 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.720 to have a full day on the National Mall of 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.840 prayer of worship together. Imagine how powerful that is. Whatever 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.680 your guys are doing on Sunday, this is the place 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.439 to be. You want to bring your family, your friends, 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.960 and you want to pray together with thousands of other 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.560 Americans for this country, for the future of this country, 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.600 and for each other. I think it's just going to 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:22.200 be beautiful. 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.520 Yeah, I agree, And because honestly, you're right, that is 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.280 our history when you go back to the Puritans and 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.920 you look at how they felt led to come here 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.639 and just their stories, you know, and it's written down. Unfortunately, Jenny, 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:40.120 not in our history books any longer. But I'm grateful 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.280 that I was a student of history. I love particularly 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.720 American history. And you can go and then jump ahead 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:50.760 to even George Washington and the miracles surrounding his life 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:55.080 and his victory said, their faith plays such an important 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.080 part in so many aspects of this country. And in fact, 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.480 what I'd like to point out too is, first of all, 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.040 the Revolutionary War probably could not have been possible, that 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:09.600 striving for independence, that willingness to put your life on 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.520 the line, to sign a declaration to this tyrant that 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.159 you want to be a free people, that couldn't have 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:20.399 happened without the Great Awakening. The Great Awakening was something 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.280 that was a movement all throughout this country where people 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.560 were suddenly again focused on God and his will for 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.160 them and for the country. And then I just want 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.600 to fast forward, Jenny, because this is all our history 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.919 over the last two hundred and fifty years. But if 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.800 you even think about the second Great Awakening that led 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:41.000 to the abolition of slavery and the women's right to vote. 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.080 And I say that because the platform of those preachers 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.359 was that we had a national sin, those of us 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.520 who believed that slavery was okay. He called it a 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.119 national sin. Many of the pastors did, in fact, and 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:57.840 women who were moved by that were working on freeing 0:21:57.920 --> 0:21:59.720 slaves and then at one point they said, hold on, 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.159 isn't b Anthony Elizabeth Katie Stanton. They said, hold on 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.359 a minute here, if we believe all men are created equal, 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:07.639 then we must believe that women aren't should have a 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:10.480 voice in how things are done in this country. Every 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.720 time we've had major events, major major events in this country, 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:18.200 we have had a spiritual awakening one hundred percent. 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.560 And I think that we just need to remind people 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.520 and then show our young people that that's that's what 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.440 we're all about, that all of the freedoms we have 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:29.600 come from God, and that we give honor to that. 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.000 You know, for those of you who haven't seen the 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:35.399 picture of George Washington, I google it where he's on 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.960 his knee and he is praying. That's just one. I 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:42.440 just imagine the time that he came here starting a 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:46.000 brand new country, leaving tyranny, as you said. And it's 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:48.600 so funny because people who shout, you know, separation of 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.720 church and state for here in America, it's like, no, no, 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.639 you guys aren't getting it completely wrong. The separation of 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:57.080 church and state is exactly why George Washington and our 0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:00.520 founders came to this country. Because they knew that a 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.280 government shouldn't be dictating to you what religion you can be. 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:06.720 But it does not mean that people say don't have 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:09.119 a voice in their government. And we're going to be 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:13.560 proclaiming that on the National Mall with some amazing, amazing artists, 0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.080 Like we have Chris Tomlins for those of you know 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:19.920 who's one of America's worship leaders Grammy winning artists. He's 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:22.840 going to be singing, We've got blessing offer, a two 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:26.680 time Grammy nominee. We're gonna have Reverend Franklin Graham, Jonathan 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:30.480 Roumy from the Chosen, and so many other pastors and 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.480 safe leaders and music. So can you imagine that, just 0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:35.280 for those of you who don't know about what this 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:37.919 is gonna what we're gonna do is going to an 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:41.160 event with thousands of other people who love this country, 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:44.639 who love God and are praying together with all these 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:47.239 worship leaders and pastors. I just think it's just going 0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.880 to be a special day and it's gonna be sunny. 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:50.600 Good weather, guys. 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.600 So everybody to make sure and they come and go 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:57.639 to rededicate to fifty dot gov and just get all 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:00.480 the information. It's free and you just to come and 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.199 even it's from twelve to six, and we just think 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:05.280 it's going to be a beautiful day. But I think 0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:07.960 there's a lesson in there. We're going to do storytelling 0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.919 about the beginning of our country and who we are, 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.000 and I just think that's going to make you know, 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.520 in a world where we're so divided, as there's so 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:20.359 much social media and negativity, this is going to be 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:24.320 an event where Americans can come together enjoy and in 0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:28.320 positivity and in space, and it's going to be wonderful. 0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:29.680 I love it. 0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:32.960 And by the way, commenting on the weather here in DC, 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.920 because I live here, I've been waiting for those sunny days, 0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:39.480 so I'm glad cold. 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.560 But you know, here's the thing too, And. 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:46.480 I have to say that if President Trump we're not 0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:48.960 in office right now as we celebrate, I think it's 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:51.879 significant that he is here for this two hundred and 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:52.959 fiftieth anniversary. 0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:53.880 I mean so many things. 0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:55.440 I know a lot of people were disappointed about the 0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:58.440 outcome of the previous presidential election. 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.880 But you know what, I I believe you was meant 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:01.439
