Starting point is 00:00:00 Folks, welcome to the Eric Mattaxas show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Eric Mattaxas show with your host, Eric Metaxis. Folks, welcome to hour two, where I get to continue my conversation with David Limbaugh and Kristen Limbaugh Bloom, his eldest daughter, who with him wrote the resurrected Jesus, the Church in the New Testament. This is a book. for lay readers, right?
Starting point is 00:00:43 Yes, sir. You didn't write this book for scholars. You wrote this book for actual human beings who care what the Bible says, who aren't just interested in reading about the Bible, but who want to get the meat out of it. And so you broke it up into chapters dealing with the different epistles.
Starting point is 00:01:01 So you start, tell me what your previous book was and then what this book is, because I'm trying to remember how you did this. Okay. The first book was, Jesus on trial, which is my faith journey and apologetics. Second book was the Emmaus Code, which was Jesus in the Old Testament.
Starting point is 00:01:17 That freaked out some people. And then the third was a true Jesus, which was a compendium of the Gospels in chronological order. Jesus has risen was the book of Acts and Paul's first six epistles. This finishes up with Paul's seven epistles.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Are you pounding the table just to annoy my engineers? That's my question. No, because you hadn't said it in a while. You hadn't criticized me enough lately. But I want, I could, Kristen needs because she's too modest. She needs to explain how her prayer, she primarily authored these prayers. And I have to say, you know, as a writer, right, I've written a lot of stuff. But to write prayers, that's kind of a big deal. So how did you, well, no, it is because, you know, you're, it's not just words, it's prayer, right? So how did you, you know, especially as a young woman, feel the confidence to do that?
Starting point is 00:02:09 Well, it's interesting because normally I have more confidence in myself writing than I do speaking. But with prayer, it's the opposite because I find there's more of a spiritual flow between myself and the Holy Spirit when I'm just kind of letting go and letting it flow as I speak. So actually, the first time I sat down to write a prayer, I kind of had a block. And I spoke to dad and I said, I might have to pray out loud and record these things. I'm like, I don't know how this is going to work. And really, I just kind of had a conversation with God about it. I asked him to strengthen me.
Starting point is 00:02:47 I know it kind of sounds cheesy, but I really did ask him to speak through me to highlight things he wanted to highlight. What's the opposite of cheesy? It does not sound cheesy. It's called authentic. Thank you. And we're all for that here. No, but that's really, I mean, let's be honest. We're talking about, you know, ineffable mysteries, prayer, God.
Starting point is 00:03:07 unless we're crazy, the smartest thing you would do is ask God to help you. Well, you wrote a book on miracles, so you're not shy about the supernatural. Not even slightly. Yeah, and so I love that. Right. But the process, too, was I'd go through in my writing first about the text before she had her hand in it and contributing ideas and cross-editing and all that. I would say, I suggest a prayer.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Can you do it? So it's substantively. related. Everyone, these are not just ethereal prayers that aren't connected to the context or to the scripture. And every time it's like, could you bang the book more because they want, because they want a, they want a room tone so that they can get rid of it. I'm animated. I'm animated. Now, now, but she, with my voice, do you want me to yell? That'd be worse. No. But she, but she, uh, she had a way. I mean, I can't believe. I say, could you please think of a prayer for this? Like, it's like, the way she word these. Wait till you read these. I mean, I just, that, they blog, well,
Starting point is 00:04:07 But then you obviously intended this book to work as a devotional. This is not just a book, but it's a book so people can read as part of their devotions. Right, because as you're saying, we want it to be accessible delay readers. And I think that there's sometimes a disconnect between understanding the Bible and actually applying it to what's going on in your life. So we both really wanted the readers to be able to take a pause. as they're understanding and digesting this scripture and then say a prayer and invite the Holy Spirit to speak to them and to show them how these scriptures can apply to their lives personally. Because I think that one thing that's happening in the church, which I'm sure you talk about in your book, is that so many Christians today disqualify themselves because they think that they're not the perfect Christian.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And so thus they don't think that they're able to be used in miraculous ways by God. But God wants to build us up. Paul wrote a beautiful letter to Timothy. It's the last chapter of our book where he's building up Timothy's faith. He's saying, speak with authority, even though you're young, because you're equipped. Jesus is the one who equips you. And it's the same Jesus who's equipping us. And there's so much more that he has for all of us.
Starting point is 00:05:23 And so I pray and we pray that these prayers will kind of help people understand that. That it's not just an understanding of who God is, but it's coming to know him, personally and then asking him what he wants to do personally in their lives. The idea, you know, when people say, oh, I'm not the perfect Christian, I don't know, in a way, it's reverse pride. It's the opposite. It sounds like humility, right? But it's reverse pride because it's acting like, well, it would really be up to me.
Starting point is 00:05:52 And I don't think I can do it. And you're thinking, what you're really saying is God isn't big enough to use you. That's so exciting. He could use Bailam's ass. He could use murderers. He could use all kinds of people. but God can't use you, which is really people kind of playing a head game. They're acting like, well, and you think that's total nonsense.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And God, it's God's will that he use everyone. And so the idea that you have to be somehow hyper religious or qualified or whatever, that's garbage. He picked fishermen. All he wants is your heart. And if your heart says, use me Jesus, he will use you. There's just no doubt about it. We so often have mind melds.
Starting point is 00:06:34 You call this reverse pride. And let me elaborate on that, if I may. It's kind of a confession or an admission, unwitting admission, that your faith is weak, because faith ultimately allows us demands that we depend on him. And when you're saying that you're not good enough, what you're really saying is you don't really believe that he's good enough to do it or that he will do it. That's it. And I've thought about that independent. That's what amazes me with these interviews with you.
Starting point is 00:07:01 It always like, did we brothers from different mother? I don't know, but we come up with the same stuff, even if you don't know it. But I'm going to pray for you tonight that your next guest won't pound the table. We'll pound the table like Nikita Khrusha. Well, we were saying earlier, we were joking around because our engineers and producers often say to the guests, now please don't hit the table because it picks it up. And you made some comment about, I don't want to be Khrushchevian or something like that. referencing Nikita Khrushchev, who around 1960 spoke here at the globalist satanic UN.
Starting point is 00:07:38 That's right there. And basically, literally took off his shoe and pounded the podium, which is like one of these moments in history. You think that that couldn't have actually happened, but it did because he was such a kind of a bully. Well, he was a real peasant in his core. Like he was just like a kind of a really a crude. Yeah. He wasn't just evil. He was also crude.
Starting point is 00:08:05 But it's so funny that, yeah, he pounded the podium. So you said that. So we keep, you know, my producers. How would you know that? You weren't born yet. I was. Well, you know, I know a lot of stuff. For example, Lincoln was shot. That happened a couple of years before I came into the world.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Can you cut? No, I'd rather you cut this segment. You said I could choose one to cut. No, no, you can choose nothing. You can say we don't do anything. Oh, my gosh. Well, we're talking about, really, I mean, we started the program with this,
Starting point is 00:08:34 is the idea is that faith in Jesus is for everyone. It's not for some elite group of priests or some elite group of biblical scholars. It is for everyone. And this lie, which whenever you deal with human beings, elitism and power is the problem, right? And so you saw it. Jesus stood against the Pharisees
Starting point is 00:08:58 and the Sadducees. they were kind of the elite guardians of things, and they basically said, shut up, you know nothing. Who are you? And similarly, we see it in the academy today. People say, well, you're not a scholar. You didn't go to this seminary. You're not somebody.
Starting point is 00:09:12 What right do you have to write a book on this or that way? We see it in politics. It comes up over and over and over again. Power, if you really want to talk about who's the enemy of God, anybody who lies themselves with power is being satanic. Because that's what it is to reject God, is to say, I want to be God. I want power. So there's a lot to this.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Uh-oh, we're at a time in the segment. We have a final segment coming up with David Limbaugh and Kristen Limbaugh. Bloom, the book is The resurrected Jesus. Don't go away. In case you haven't been paying attention, the Biden administration has caused a financial crisis and they have no clue how to fix it. Oil prices have skyrocketed. And when oil prices go up, the cost of transportation and shipping spikes,
Starting point is 00:10:24 leading the prices of goods to rise. when we're already seeing record inflation, that's the last thing we need. Our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds, and traditional markets, you are vulnerable. Gold is one of the best ways to protect your retirement. No matter what happens, you own your gold. It is real, it is physical, it's always been valuable since the dawn of time. Legacy precious metals is the company I trust for investing in gold.
Starting point is 00:10:54 They can help you roll your retirement account into a real. a gold-backed IRA where you still own the physical gold. They can also ship gold and precious metal safely and securely to your house. Call Legacy at 866-528-1903 or visit them online at LegacyPMinvestments.com. Tell me, Eric, why is Relief Factor so successful at lowering or eliminating pain? I'm often asked that question. The owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And I agree with them. So the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug-free ingredients, each helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. And that right there, approaching from four different angles, may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. So if you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three-week quick start discounted to only 1995,
Starting point is 00:11:54 to see if it will work for you. It works for me. It has for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer. Feel the difference. Folks, welcome back. Final segment with David Limbaugh and his eldest daughter, Kristen Limbaugh Bloom. They've written the resurrected Jesus, the Church in the New Testament. But David, I have to ask you because there are people probably tuned in thinking Limbaugh, Limbaugh, that name rings a bell. Are the two of you in any way, I know the answer to this question, by the way. Are you in any way related to the Great Rush Limbaugh?
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yes, he was my brother. And I only had one, and he only had one. And I knew him my whole life, since I'm younger, since the time I was born, December 11, 1952, and he was born January 12, 1951. Yeah, we were very close and got closer and closer as the years went by. You know, growing up, we're a little different. He never wore blue jeans. I never didn't wear blue jeans.
Starting point is 00:13:03 He was always the adult in the room. I was always the kid. So you were professionally, though, a lawyer. Yes. So you were in the legal profession, and he went into broadcasting early on. Yeah. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:13:15 And I didn't get the impression over the years that he was a man of faith. Did that change? I think it did. Now, I used to try to witness to him and wondering whether he was, he would say, I firmly believe in Jesus Christ. He said, he never doubted it.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I'm scared. Well, you know, I don't understand that because I doubted it. Just like, I was so skeptical for, not that God exists, but that the Bible, Jesus Christ. But part of the problem was I never gave it a chance. But until I did. And then, but regardless of how faithful he was early on, it doesn't matter in the end because the last two years, he was extremely close. to God and he handled his illness with such dignity and it drew him so close to God every day.
Starting point is 00:14:04 And I would send him, by the way, devotionals, prayer, like I'm teaching Sunday school, sending the book of Acts, we went through the book of Acts with him. And I said, do you really want that? No, this really helps me. So those kinds of things. I'm not giving myself any credit. I'm just saying I'm trying to convince you, not that you doubt it, that he drew very close to God. No, no, no, no. I got the impression maybe just from reading your Twitter feed or something like that, that at the end, it was very obvious. But I have to say, I mean, you know, when you're facing death, in a funny way, and this is as believers, we can talk about this, we're not afraid of death because we know Jesus defeated death on the cross. Like, he actually defeated death on the cross. So when we die,
Starting point is 00:14:45 we know we don't die. We never die because Jesus rose from the dead. That's the title of your book, the resurrected Jesus. And so in a way, it's an amazing concept because what, What death does is it brings us closer to this thing we call reality, is that there is no death. We get to be in the presence of God. And anyone who would reject that is rejecting something just so inexpressibly beautiful that we would do anything to help them not to reject that. Because it's just so beautiful.
Starting point is 00:15:22 But I have to ask you, I knew your father, your father, forgive me, your brother, Rush, was dying. And I remember when President Trump invited him to the state of the union address. Yep. And awarded him the, was it the Congressional Medal of Freedom? Of Freedom. That is one of the most beautiful, crazy moments I have ever seen in my life. It was so beautiful. Yes. It was just an unbelievable thing. You know, President Trump called me the day that he was going to give it to him and you know animated and unpretentious he is honestly trump just down to earth really and not that i had him on speed dial but some i guess sean probably gave him my number and he called and he told me he was going to do this and he said i told him david i i he said could i have two weeks
Starting point is 00:16:15 you know katherine rush's hard we got to go rush you're going to look like you know what if you and he said the word if we wait two weeks you're doing this chemo you'll be bald you'll be ugly you'll be embarrassing. We're going to do this right now. At the state of the union. Yeah. But the thing is, the reason so many people love Trump is because he is real in that way. But I have to say, for him to be willing to do that during a state of the union address, it was one of the most politically bold things I've ever seen in my life. Heads almost literally exploded. The people that despised your brother and despised
Starting point is 00:16:57 Trump. And so in some ways it was a moment of political theater unequaled in my lifetime. I mean, I absolutely couldn't believe it. It was so beautiful and bold and vintage Trump. It was vintage Trump. And one reason you love him
Starting point is 00:17:13 so much is he's the antithesis of what we've been talking about, the expert class. Well, no, but that's precisely right. And it's kind of, it's weird, because you get a lot of people like this in history, and they're all imperfect, whether it's Trump or Martin Luther, or you get people that are somehow in their way,
Starting point is 00:17:33 they have an ability to connect with the common man. They have what it takes to understand the elite stuff, but they don't really speak mainly to the elites, but they kind of try to translate that to the common man. They make a connection. And of course, they always become the heroes of the common man and women, because people think finally somebody understands what I'm thinking or what I'm looking for or whatever. And that really explains what it was about, what it is about Donald Trump that makes him such a beloved figure among those people.
Starting point is 00:18:07 But, I mean, getting back to your brother, your brother had that like crazy. I mean, it was an amazing, rare gift. And I think, you know, we have to be honest that he was a voice for so. many people who were disenfranchised through the wilderness years and who thought, I need a voice to tell me I'm not crazy. I need somebody who's giving me a voice of hope. And your brother was that for literally multiplied millions of Americans every week. It's an amazing thing when you think about what one person can do. I can't even add to that. It was so good except to tell you a little background. My dad was so brilliant, so articulate, especially on politics.
Starting point is 00:18:52 and we would sit around. A lot of kids would go out and have dates and stuff. Well, we did, but I mean, but his friends, my friends, Rush, and would come over just to hear my dad hold court in a living room about politics. And so I see Rush as my dad writ large. It's like our living room to the whole United States.
Starting point is 00:19:11 And that is so cool. And I resent it because it's caused me of a bad complex. I didn't get any of those genes. Bad complex that I've developed over the years. But my mom, he did get the sense of humor for my mom. Isn't that? I love it. And I didn't get anything. Yeah, you got nothing.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Except five beautiful children and a raft of books and faith in Jesus. Man, what a rip-off. But I sent her to Christian school. Did you mention that? And I... I... Let me... But let me...
Starting point is 00:19:39 But it's... One of the reasons that this is so much fun for me is because, you know, you realize that truth is truth. What we're talking about truth, Jesus is truth. And so even when you're not talking about Jesus, if you're talking about truth, you're talking about Jesus. There you go. Yes. And the idea that what we're going through is a nation right now, that I have said it, I've become increasingly outspoken in a way in saying to people, listen, if you want to fix what is going on, get right with God, whatever it is in your life,
Starting point is 00:20:11 where you're hanging back or you know you're doing something wrong or whatever, if we, if each person would see it as your personal responsibility, if you get right with God and do what calls you to do and walk with him, this country will fix itself. By the way, it's literally that simple. Truth is so fundamental foundational to everything. And Jesus is truth. Jesus is foundational everything. That's why the left is attacking truth, and they're doing it by attacking language,
Starting point is 00:20:39 by all of our morals, by God's created order. Think of the chaos, the moral and intellectual chaos they've caused. No, it's astonishing. And that's, I mean, I think that's why I have hope, because it's, It's gotten so crazy that your average person who would not identify maybe as a Christian is looking around thinking, this is more than just political. There's something dark and sick here. And does anybody have an answer?
Starting point is 00:21:09 And I think that the Christians who are willing to boldly speak the truth are drawing people to Christ. I agree. And I see that. I see a lot of patriots around the country who, Maybe they would have listened to Rush Limbaugh, but they would not have said, I'm an even angelical Christian. A lot of those people are coming to Jesus because they are seeing a kind of fearlessness in some in the church. And those churches that are trying to play it safe, their numbers are dwindling and dwindling because people are thinking, why do I need that? I don't need, I don't need, I need some courage. I need somebody who's willing to speak the truth.
Starting point is 00:21:46 The left destroys everything in its wake. We're not just going to about the economy, the national death. the borders, but the church. My Methodist church is being split wide open by these American quasi- evangelical Methodists. The only reason it's still together at all is because the African Methodist. And it's inevitable. It's going to... Oh, listen, people in
Starting point is 00:22:06 Africa, people in those parts of the world, they get it. They're not playing this game. They know that there's this thing called evil. They know that there's this thing called spiritual warfare. And so sometimes you have to be a spoiled American not to get it. We are out of time, but I'm just so grateful for both of you, David Limbaugh and Kristen Limbaugh, Bloom, for your time and for writing together this book, The Resurrection Jesus, the Church in the New Testament. I hope folks will get a copy and we'll use it and we'll pray the prayers.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Thank you, Kristen. Thank you, David. I suggested the various prayers. All she does is write them. As long as he said, all right, all right. Thank you so much. sums it up. My joy.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Thank you. With the overturn of Roe v. Wade, lots of companies are coming out saying they'll pay for employee abortion travel and expenses.

John Smirak hung up the phone because we just got a call from our new friend in prison. Jake Lang. Jake, welcome to the program. God bless you, Eric.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Thank you for having me on. Jake, we've said very little about you, so I want you to take this opportunity while you have the phone to tell my audience who you are and why you are there. I'm Jake Lang. I'm January 6th, political prisoner. I've been locked in solitary confinement for over 20 months for defending my country and our Constitution on January 6th from a communist coup by the Joe Biden regime that has persecuted over 900 red-blooded. multiple felony charges, all for standing up against tyranny and against a solid election. And we are in the midst of a battle for our nation. And January 6th political prisoners and the Patriots are the frontline patriots in this battle. And we're surviving by the grace of God and we're thriving in these horrible conditions that we've been placed in. God has still been able to give us so much grace.
Starting point is 00:33:45 and so much mercy and connect. I mean, literally tens of thousands of us on our families all across the country on prayer group calls, different legal funds, and actually an amazing event happening September 24th here in Washington, D.C., called January 6 Solidarity Press Conference and Truth Rally that I'll tell your audience more about here in a little bit. But we're fighting back. We will not give up. We will not surrender.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Well, we are with you in the fight by the Gray's of God. I am just thrilled, honored to be talking to you. Because this has been something that's been so heavy on my heart, I have to tell you what our illegitimate regime has done to patriotic Americans like you. It's like something out of a history book. They used to do things like this. It's unimaginable. It's happening now. And I'm talking to you now who have been in prison. You said for 20 months. This is just astonishing, Jake. What do they say you did, and why are you still in prison? What they say I did was defend me and a bunch of women and elderly, some of them veterans and people from police brutality for three hours at the Capitol. They say I saved the life of a young black man,
Starting point is 00:35:09 Philip Anderson. He signed a court's sworn affidavit on top of another man, Tommy Tatum, who's also signed a court's sort of an affidavit saying I saved his life. They say I defended my constitution and my country, but that's the patriots who say that. The government alleges that I'm a white supremacist, insurrection is domestic terrorists, even though I'm Jewish, and even though I have no criminal history whatsoever, I'm being held without bond, without bail. as across the country there's a revolving door of just people with rap sheets as long as some of my motions 20, 30 page long rap sheets in there just let out the same day catch and
Starting point is 00:35:53 release but if you're a conservative you're a Christian if you're somebody stands on our constitutional values and if you have faith in God they will persecute you and punish you and lock you in the most horrendous conditions separated from your family from the sunlight from any semblance of normal human behavior. I'm in my cell 22 hours a day, Eric. I just want to say, you know, if I didn't have faith in God, I don't know what I would do because when I hear about something like this happening in the United States of America, it's an unhinging thing to think that this could be happening in this country.
Starting point is 00:36:34 So you are trying to get the word out about an event. about a website. The website, I believe, is j6truth.org. It's an amazing resource. My team and I have put together with a documentary on it, called The Truth About January 6th. It's actually the most number one viewed video ever on Rumble. We've got over a million views.
Starting point is 00:37:00 It's been shared virally by tons of people, Dinesh, Sidney Powell, the Hodge twins, have shared that video far and wide. It's made its rounds. And it is so heart-wrenching to see what the government and the mainstream media have been covering up since day one and lying to you, the American public, about. And if you want to be informed and you want to get a full perspective without the biased media tint on January 6th, go to j6thtruth.org and check out that documentary with our funds. We're raising money for legal fees right now. We're helping out dozens of January 6ers.
Starting point is 00:37:38 We're raising money for a second follow-up documentary, whatever God puts on your heart. to donate to us. We really appreciate it, and we are using it. We're stewarding it as best as possible. And we really have such an incredible movement going on behind us. And what the enemy is intended for evil, God is used for our good. He's connected so many brothers and sisters in Christ and strengthened our resolve and created opportunities through this to really basically show America. We are, you know, the people at the whipping post here. There's no hiding. behind the tyranny now when there's hundreds of political prisoners across America being, uh, you know, being persecuted.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I still can't get over the fact that you are in solitary 22 hours a day and that 20 months into this, you're still there. Where do things stand with you? Say that again. There's a little background here. Where do things, where do things stand with you? You're 20 months into this. Uh, are you supposed to be released? at any point soon? Where are you with all that? So my trial's not until January 9th, 20203,
Starting point is 00:38:53 facing a 108-month plea deal right now that they want me to bend the knee and to kiss the ring and to take literally a decade in prison. And so I refuse to take a plea deal to tyranny. I refuse to come into agreement with anything that is not of God and is full of darkness and full of wickedness.
Starting point is 00:39:16 and I have to stand and fight this battle, as so many of my brothers have already going to trial here this month. And next month there's a large swath of January 6th trials happening here in September and October. And that leads me into the event we've organized my team and I. And that's on J6.com. And people find that out at J6Truth.org if they go to J6Truth.org about this event? Yeah, yep, there's a link on there. Hang on, folks. We're going to be right back talking to Jake Lang, going to a break.
Starting point is 00:39:52 In the meantime, go to j6truth.org. This is important, folks, j6truth.org. Folks, very special programming. I'm talking to Jake Lang, who for 20 months continues to be incarcerated in solitary confinement for loving his country and being there on January 6th, like in January 6th, like in innumerable others who are suffering right now, while we have mostly ignored them. The mainstream media, of course, has ignored them. But what about all those congressmen and senators who have said nothing and done nothing?
Starting point is 00:40:53 Shame on them for going along with this wicked narrative. Jake, we've just got a few minutes left. Tell us about September 24th. We are so blessed to really bring the cream of the crop of the Patriot Movement together with this. We have over 20 confirmed speakers coming together in Washington, D.C., September 24th, 1 to 5 p.m. outside the federal district courthouse, there's a nice little courtyard area, and we have a professional sound speaker, private security porta-potties. It's a really professional and peaceful event, and we have speakers such as Dinesh D'Souza coming. Professor David Clement, people from Newsmax, Jim Hoff, the founder of Gayette. way pundit. I mean, the speakers list is really just quite, quite spectacular. And you'll see that on j6.truth.org.
Starting point is 00:41:46 If you want more details on the event itself or to sign up for a bus or to schedule, you know, you coming in with our team, go to j6 solid.com. That's jay, the number six solid.com. And, yeah, we're really looking for. We need, you know, one thing I urge that people are listening to is what's preventing you from coming? What's preventing you from? in solidarity with the January 6th years. We need your support. We need you to physically be there to show the liberal media complex, our tyrannical government, that we have supporters, that we are strong, that we are united, that we are not forgotten, that our efforts to protect this country have not been in vain. And so make it out there September 24th, and we're really looking forward to just a strong,
Starting point is 00:42:31 and we have some surprise, confirmed speakers, a man that sells pillows. There's a couple congresswomen that have stepped up and shown fidelity to our movement and to the January 6th Patriots. So we're going to have some, I mean, it's going to be an incredible event, historic event, and peaceful and very safe. And it's going to be honoring God and honoring the sacrifice of so many great patriots. J6 solid.com. J6 solid.com or you can, there's a link at J6Truth.org. J6Truth.org, J6Solid.com.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Jake Lang, it is hard for us to believe, as we hear your voice, that you are in prison right now. You and innumerable others are suffering. Ladies and gentlemen, you've got to stand for the truth right now. If you don't, your silence convicts you. Your silence on these issues convicts you.
Starting point is 00:43:29 If you do not care that people have been wrongly incarcerated, I want to tell you, folks, this is one of the most amazing things that has happened in modern history that this could happen in America. Jake, we've just got a minute left. What can you tell our audience before we go? The hearts and the souls of the audience here and let them know the bountiful grace of our God. He is making a path through the January 6th plight here to speak to your heart, to awaken you, to show you that there is tyranny here, even though you may be comfortable in your situation at home,
Starting point is 00:44:06 There are people that have been canceled off social media, dragged out of their homes, been told and lied about hundreds of us. And they're just waiting to come for you next. If you're a mother at a school board meeting, you're not too far away from these prison garbs I'm in because you're standing up against critical race theory or transgender ideology. They'll put a target on your back next. So if you don't stand with us and they come for you next, you know, we need to be united as Americans, as people who love God. and we need to stand for causes that God would have us stand for and never back down in the face of evil. And so I beseech you to stand with us. God bless you.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Jake, thank you. God bless you. Folks, please go to j6truth.org. Ladies and gentlemen, please go to j6truth.org. We'll have more with Jake in the weeks ahead. God bless you, Jake. God bless you. Thank you.
