to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.
Folks, it's the Eric Mattaxas show.
I've got a big surprise for you.
Is the surprise that I'm in a hotel room in Dallas?
No, that's not the surprise.
The big surprise is my guest right now, Sean Foyt, F-E-U-C-H-T-F-T-E-H-T-F-E-E-Wite.
Sean Foyt, welcome to this program.
Hey, thanks so much for having me.
I'm honored to be here.
You need to get a haircut, my friend, okay?
Jesus didn't have one here. What's wrong with you? I'm so excited to meet you. There are many people who know you and what you've been doing and there are many people who don't. And so I'm excited for both of those groups. Why don't you tell my audience, if you can, what you've been doing, who you are and why you and I are doing something together in New York City on July 3rd. I am so excited. I get to be a part of that because I'm a New Yorker. But tell my audience, Sean,
what you do?
Well, for probably the last 20 years,
I've been really focused as more of a missionary
to some of the hardest and darkest places in the world,
including Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia,
North Korea, a lot of these places the Lord sent us into.
Well, fast forward to when COVID happened,
America just erupted, you know,
not only in a tyrannical government
that was, you know,
suppressing our rights, not allowing the church to gather, but also, you know, you have
this unrest, the rioting, all the crazy stuff. And we really felt like the Lord had called
our assignment in that season to America. So we started an accidental movement,
meaning that we didn't have this grandiose plan or strategy. We just really, it was July 9th,
it was the day after the governor of California, Gavin Newsom said, you can't sing in church any
longer, which was so outrageous to me.
Not really the fact that he said that because he's crazy, but the fact that people were
actually abiding by that, that people were complying.
That's kind of the key, isn't it?
Like anybody can say any crazy thing, but when people go, oh, okay, that's when the trouble
starts.
Yeah, and that's when I started to realize, okay, this is wild.
And not only is it unconstitutional, it's unbiblical, goes against everything we believe.
and I've spent enough time with the persecuted underground church, you know, to where when that was
happening and the churches were shutting down, they were all messaging me saying, hey, Sean,
you got to do something here.
You spent too much time with us in our countries and learned too much about, you know,
the church was spawning in situations like that.
So we did, we gathered, it was spontaneous on the Golden Gate Bridge.
I threw up a post on Instagram, didn't know if anyone would come.
400 people showed up.
the San Francisco police department showed up. They were great to us. They blocked off a whole lane on the Gold Gate Bridge. We worshipped in the middle of the bridge and declared some crazy stuff over America. What if in this darkest time that God was birthing a new Jesus people movement. The next day we were in Huntington Beach, California. A thousand people showed up on the beach. The next day we were in San Diego. Five thousand people showed up in San Diego. And so really this movement was born.
at really the height of COVID, the lockdowns, everything.
And now we've just shifted to another gear of revival.
And we are so excited.
We're coming up on, I think this tomorrow in Montgomery, Alabama,
will be city number 100.
And this is the first time I've ever announced that.
We're hitting our 100th city.
So this would be the 18th of June in Montgomery, Alabama.
Now, I still cannot get over the first.
that you are coming to New York City on the 3rd of July. And I am flying back on a 7 a.m.
flight. Can I tell you how much my flesh hates you, Sean Foyt, because I got to fly back. I'm going to be a Kansas City with Mike Bickle and the whole crazy gang and Ken Fisher. And I said, there is no way I will miss this event.
come on.
That my daughter's born in, that we live in, because New York needs Jesus badly.
So the fact that you and Jake Coopman have reached out to me and my friend Ken Fish and that you're doing this, I said,
we have to tell my audience if you can get to New York.
And by the way, it's the Bronx, the Bronx, New York.
We're going to put this information out.
But anybody who can get there, you can drag anybody you want, this is just going to be beautiful and crazy.
and I'm so excited.
This is July 3rd folks in the Bronx, in New York City.
And, Sean, like you've done these events.
You just said, you know, it's going to be your 100th city.
But before this, you were all around the world with your family, danger zone.
So what is some of the places that you have been to before COVID hit and America became the mission field?
Where have you and your family been?
Oh man we've we've probably been to close to 70 countries and you know a lot of those many times my daughter I think she's 10 she's been to probably 40 so yeah we've gone to a lot of places around the world but our heart really you know we have a we have a couple different projects that we have around the world that are ongoing we have a project in Iraq with the Kurds and the Yazidis and the refugees and in the refugees and the refuge.
G's really from ISIS. So we've been there before ISIS, the height of ISIS, and now we're still there.
We have another project in India where we're rescuing, I think we've rescued about 876
children from temple prostitution. We've really focused on the outer lying remote villages
where the Hindu radicals are selling kids into the temple prostitution trade. And so
we've done a lot of that. You know, I've been to India 24 times. I've been to Iraq, probably
15. Of course, we've been in, you know, as I mentioned before, China and North Korea,
had a couple trips into Saudi Arabia. Our heart really burns for really the remote, dark,
unreached hard places. That's, that's something that we've just always had a heart for. And,
you know, until COVID happened, I didn't really have a heart for America, to be honest with you.
And but, you know, I have four little kids. And, you know, as I look at them and as I look at the society that
culture that they're going to inherit, it just makes me crazy. Like we have to do something.
We have to take a stand. And so that's why the Lord sent us into the heartbeat of Portland during
the riots. We went into CHOP, the Autonomous Zone in Seattle, which is pretty much as crazy
as the Middle Eastern country during war. I'll have to tell you that. When we went to check and
chop, because very few people can believe what you just said. I happen to follow you a little bit so
I'm aware of this.
You went into chop, chas, the fake wacko autonomous.
I mean, is this sheer lunacy being played out in geography that people, they pretended
that they took it over and they made an autonomy, as if you could do that in the United States
America.
But the point is, they were doing this.
It was dangerous.
It was scary.
It was crazy.
People were getting raped.
You went in there and preached the gospel and led worship.
Yeah.
Yeah.
was wild. I mean, not just me. Listen, the church of the Pacific Northwest showed up. We had over
3,000 people that showed up in CHOP, and we took over the Capitol Hill. I mean, you could
watch it on YouTube. It was wild. And, you know, what was powerful is the pastors that were with me
were so culturally diverse. You know, I had Hispanic, African American, Asian pastors. And so,
you know, there was a large BLM group that was really violent that was there. There was Antibbean.
there were Satanists, groups of Satanists.
But when I had the African-American pastors preaching Jesus, forgiveness, repentance to the BLM activist,
they didn't know what to do.
They've never heard anything like that.
You know, it was so profound.
And we actually had, we actually had one of the Satanists give their life to Jesus.
We baptized them right there and chop.
And, you know, it started to get really, really hairy towards the end.
The Antifa guys got really aggressive.
and so we ended up having to, after about two and a half hours, we ended up kind of dissipating.
But it was a powerful night and one I'll never forget.
I'm just astonished to see what God is doing.
And for me, this happens to me over and over in my life.
Like I'm astounded by something, but then I'm further astounded by the fact that the news is not covering it and nobody knows about it.
I can't think of any bigger thing to cover.
then what you've just been sharing with us.
Most people listening to this program don't know anything about it.
Most people who don't listen to this program definitely don't know about it.
So it's just a huge blessing to have you.
We're going to keep you over and do another segment with you.
Sean Foyt.
The biggest thing I have learned right now is how to pronounce Foyt, F-O-F-U-H-T, Foy.
We'll be right back with Sean Foyt.
Don't forget, July 3rd, New York City.
Love is a burning thing.
And it makes...
Hey there, folks.
How many years have I been telling you about relief factor?
What, like four?
The truth is, I know there are millions of people.
In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain.
Maybe from exercise, just getting older.
That could do it, getting older, which is why I am so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot.
They are on a mission.
You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally
double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
and I believe they'll do it. So here's the deal.
If you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle, aches and pains,
then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted to only 1995,
about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain too.
And then after that, less than the cost of a cup of coffee, a day to stay at a pain.

Folks, welcome back.
I am talking to Sean F-O-T.
No, it sounds like F-O-Y-T, but it's F-E-U-C-H-T, Foyt.
Sean, you realize that that's the German pronunciation.
We would say, Foyt, I think, right?
That's correct.
I mean, the headline here is that you are,
coming with Jake Coopin to New York City, which is our city, and we are thrilled, and I'm thrilled
I get to be a part of it. It's going to be in the Bronx. The information will be outposted on
social media. But I just want to know your background. Where did you grow up, and how did you come
to be the person that you are doing what you're doing? What is your background? You know, my parents
were full-time medical missionaries.
And my dad had a dermatology practice, went on one mission trip, I think to Romania when I was a little kid, and just got bit with the missions bug.
And so we ended up moving from Montana, which is where I grew up to Virginia Beach.
And my dad worked for an organization called Operation Blessing.
And he helped design a plane called the Flying Hospital, which basically was a plane that landed in a
developed countries and did they did surgeries and different things on it. So anyway, that's what
brought me to the East Coast. I went to or are you for college, had a business, and then really
the Holy Spirit just wrecked my life. And we ended up into full-time ministry, really right
after college. Unbelievable. And so now you have four kids and just one wife, is that right?
That's correct. Just one wife. Just the one.
So you guys have traveled around the world as a family.
This is pretty beautiful.
You and your whole family have traveled around the world to all these danger zones.
You said Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan.
I mean, it's kind of an amazing thing.
How do you find your way or did you find your way into these countries?
I mean, how do you do that?
Because most people, I think, would just have no idea what it would mean to go into these places.
Well, I had an incredible kind of inherited.
a lot of amazing relationships from radical people around,
around the world that were just doing great things for God in a lot of these countries.
And so we grew up, of course, having missionaries in and out of our home all the time.
We actually had a Russian family that was fleeing communism that lived with us when I was
growing up as a kid.
And so we just had a lot of connections overseas.
And my heart has always been the nations.
I think I was telling you earlier, it wasn't until really 2019.
or 2020 that my focus even shifted to America.
But before then, I really was just probably about 30 to 35 nations I would go to every single
year.
And in the midst, you know, I'm a recording artist and I'm an author and all that kind of
stuff.
But really, I mean, I was in the nations every month, pretty much.
Now, when you say you're recording artists, you lead worship at these events.
you don't just speak.
So talk about that.
And how can people find if they want to find out more?
How do they find out?
Yeah, they can go to let us worship.us.
They want to find more about what we're doing right now in America.
They can go to shanfoyt.com if they want to find out more about me or our different ministries or music.
Yeah, I mean, I think.
. . . . . . . . you said that, right?
Let us worship.
Let us worship.
Yes.
I think, you know, one of the most powerful things were taking.
a lot of what we did in the nations
and we're just applying it here. So
we look at a place like
Iraq, you know, in the midst
of, you know, the first Gulf War,
second Gulf War, ISIS is just this
raging conflict always. And
we realized that when we brought worship
into the middle of that, like we saw
God move in powerful ways.
Same thing in a lot of other
countries, Afghanistan, shortly after
9-11, we did the same thing.
We've been able to do the same thing in North
Korea, which I don't know a lot of people that have
had that opportunity. It's just what a, what a blessing to be able to do that. So we kind of applied
that same principle. I'm very surprised about that. What did you say? How is it possible that you
were allowed into North Korea? I'm really surprised that was. Well, yeah, they had a,
they had it for a while there. They had a program where they allowed a certain number of Americans
to visit under the guise of cultural, like a cultural experience, really kind of just
a propaganda tour by the state.
But what they didn't know is that a lot of people that were leading those tours were believers.
And they were bringing in worship leaders and we were smuggling Bibles and all that kind of stuff.
So it was a really cool opportunity.
It was a short window that we had a chance to do that.
My wife was actually, we actually had just had our first baby.
She was like four months old.
And I told my wife, hey, I'm going to North Korea.
She was like, all right.
But yeah, that was a real gift.
but we were able to take those things we did in those nations.
And when America hit a point of crisis, apply those, which is worship, gospel proclamation,
you know, creating an opportunity for people to encounter the love of God and unplug from the narrative
and the poison of the media.
And when we started seeing that happen in America, things just were changing everywhere we went.
Well, it's just so beautiful.
I want to remind people, let us work.
worship.
U.S.
You have to check this out.
Let us worship.
dot us.
And Sean
Foyt,
Sean is S-E-A-N,
FOIT F-E-U-C-H-T-T-com.
If people want to find you.
And is that where your music is?
Yeah.
Or iTunes or Spotify or wherever else.
Okay.
Sean Foyt,
F-E-C-H-T.com.
So when I,
I was on a
prayer call with Jim Garlo and those guys back right after the election. And Jay Coopman, who you work with,
he was on. And I said, boy, I would just love it if you guys ever come to New York again or whatever.
And so you guys are going to be in New York again. I'm so thrilled. July 3rd. It's an 8.5 p.m.
And it's in the Bronx. I know you guys went through heck to find a venue. I was trying to help people I know
we're trying to help and it was really hard to find a venue.
But finally, it's going to be in the Bronx and I will post this all over social media.
Probably it's at let us worship.us.us.
Yes, that's correct.
Okay.
So anybody who can drive to the Bronx, New York, it's just fantastic.
Yeah, this is going to be a, this is going to be an amazing venue.
We had come to New York to Washington Square down in Manhattan in the village,
actually twice last year in the middle of the middle of the middle of the city.
of COVID, which is really amazing.
We were baptized people in the fountains.
But we wanted somewhere with a little more room, a little more of a park vibe.
And so this is going to be really fun.
We're excited to come to the Bronx.
We got a lot of expectations.
The day before 4th of July, it's going to be great.
I was born in Queens, but I live in Manhattan.
And when I heard that you guys had been in Union Square, Manhattan, I was like, what?
How did I miss this?
I mean, I was really stunned.
And so I was hoping you'd come back.
I really was. I thought this is so terrific.
So I'm just excited and I want people to get excited and to understand that, by the way,
if you can't get to New York, you guys are all over the country.
I mean, if people go to let us worship.us.
Do you know where you're going to be over the next couple of weeks?
Yeah, so we're going to be in Montgomery tomorrow, Atlanta on Saturday for Juneteenth,
which we're real excited about.
We're going to be in the weekend after that.
We're going to be in Chicago at the United States.
parking lot, which is where the Bulls play. We got the whole parking lot. It's just epic.
That's next Friday. And then we're going to be in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and then Detroit next
Sunday. And then, of course, what you mentioned, July 2nd is in Philadelphia in a really,
really rough neighborhood where we're coming together with the city and a lot of the leaders
there. July 3rd in the Bronx, in New York, July 4th in Pittsburgh, right before the fireworks start.
We're going to be doing a big worship thing there. And down the third,
downtown Pittsburgh. And then a lot other cities, but I really wanted to highlight as well,
9-11 this year, we have a permit for the national mall in Washington, D.C. It blows my mind,
Eric, that this current administration never thought about securing the national mall for the
20-year anniversary. So we did it for them. It tells you everything. They didn't know what the world
day was anything other than a weekend where you get to eat a long weekend.
binge on Netflix.
They didn't realize that, oh, no, no, no, there's a whole traditional of Memorial Day.
Fallen heroes who died for freedom.
They didn't realize that.
So, hey, that's a cool thing that their ignorance has led to the blessing of you.
Exactly.
And you're crazy, born-again believer friends like me, being able to go to the National Mall in D.C.
This is beautiful.
And I know you guys are praying and people will be praying because who knows what God is going to do.
That is so beautiful.
Come on. People, I mean, people putting that in their calendar right now, I hope.
I just, I wanted to talk to you because I just want people to be aware of you.
I'm sometimes, Sean, keenly aware of how divided the body of Christ is,
or that they're people aware of certain things and they don't know anything about other things.
And I know there are a lot of good people who listen to this program who just aren't aware of what you've been doing.
And people need to understand. This is what God is doing.
Let us worship.us.
We're going to keep you for another segment.
We will air this a few times and we'll put it out on Rumble and people, I keep telling people, folks, please subscribe to my newsletter so you can get all these updates.
It's Eric Mataxis.com is the website.
We'll be back talking to Sean Foyt.
I hope you're psyched.
I am.
Folks, I'm talking to Sean Foyt, F-E-U-C-H-T.
Make a note of it, Sean Foyt.com.
and let us worship.us.u.
Sean, I still can't get over the fact that we're going to be together by God's grace in the Bronx on July 3rd.
I know that people from the whole tri-state area can get to the Bronx.
So describe this for people.
I mean, it kicks off officially at five, but obviously families are welcome.
And what does this event look like?
What is going to happen?
Well, really our heart is just to come together, you know, a unified church.
can heal a divided nation.
And I feel like that, you know,
there's so many incredible people in New York.
We're coming out of this brutal season
of COVID and lockdowns and all the craziness.
And there's nothing more powerful
than to gather together outside
on a beautiful day in a park and worship Jesus.
And so you're going to see a representation
of leaders and worshippers and musicians
from all across the region there in New York City.
You're going to see people that are going to be driving in
just for a chance to worship.
And then we're going to just go after Jesus together,
share about what God's doing across America,
stir up faith, we're going to pray for people.
We'll have baptisms there as well,
people don't want to get baptized.
You've got to realize that there's been almost a year or longer
where a lot of people haven't been to church,
they haven't been to summer camp,
they haven't had an opportunity to gather with other believers.
And so we're just real excited.
Every time we come to New York,
it is just on fire.
And we can't wait to see what God does.
July 3rd in the Bronx.
And if you wear a mask, folks, you're going to have to sit in the smoking section,
just so you understand.
There's a lounge.
You can see through the plastic glass, but it's nasty in there.
No, so this is just great.
You're going to give me the honor of saying a few words and our friend Ken Fish.
We're both flying from, we're going to be in Kansas City with Mike Bickle and Francis
Chan and some others for a few days.
But we're flying in specifically for this.
really, really excited.
The Bronx is one of those places.
There's every kind of church in New York City,
every kind of church you can think of,
every kind of non-church.
So I hope that the word gets out,
that everybody is welcome.
We don't care if you're an atheist,
a Satanist, even an Episcopalian,
you know,
some of us, not all,
but it's such a beautiful thing
that anybody can come,
and this is not divisive,
this is unifying,
there's going to be worship,
So, Sean, talk about that.
So you start with worship.
Is that typically what you do?
Yeah, yeah.
We'll start with, we'll let the pastors pray and greet everybody and kind of speak words of
blessing over this city and stuff like that.
And then we'll just go for it.
You know, we have an incredible band.
They're all New York City guys that are my friends that have been there,
very diverse and credible musicians.
We're going to worship, go after God.
And then we'll share for what we feel like God's doing.
and present the gospel, you know, to people.
One of the great things about these parks is that you have a lot of people that have never
heard the gospel before.
They've never responded to Jesus before.
And so every city we go to, we see hundreds of people get saved.
So we're going to do that and then pray over people that need ministry and probably end
with, you know, before the July 3rd fireworks.
I know that happens in a lot of these boroughs.
We're going to end with just another big fun time of worship.
It's going to be amazing.
I love it. Have you, I mean, you must have heard some prophetic voices have said that they
believe God is saying that that revival is coming to America, big revival. Have you heard
any of those folks saying that? Or do you know some of those? Well, I would, I would stand here,
Eric, and not not only just say, I've heard those words, but we're experiencing it. I mean,
we're going to be in a, this will be a hundred cities tomorrow. Every city the Lord sends us to
thousands and thousands of people show up. I mean, we were just in in, uh, Raleigh, North Carolina
with 4,000 people on Sunday and Charlotte the night before that in the rain with 3,500 people.
I mean, everywhere God sends us like the hunger is unlike anything I've ever experienced before.
And so, you know, the valley of a core, uh, which is the, the valley of weeping or this,
this last difficult season has become now a door of hope.
It is so beautiful.
And, you know, this is the news behind the news.
This is the news that you're not getting on the news.
People need to understand, folks, this is what's happening.
You want to know what's going on in New York.
Forget most of the websites, conservative, liberal, insane, seemingly sane.
They don't cover this stuff.
This is the news.
This is not just the news of Jesus Christ.
This is the secular news.
What's happening in America?
This is happening in America.
This is astonishing.
This is unprecedented.
This is what most people in America would be interested if they knew anything about it,
which is why we're trying to get the word out on this program.
Tell your friends, folks, tell your friends to go to let us worship.
U.S.
Wherever they live, this stuff is coming to them.
They can be a part of it.
This is important.
This is literally the most important thing in any of our lives.
Jesus, among us, using us.
to reach others. It is so beautiful. I don't know anybody who's not hungry for hope and truth
and life. Even if people say they're not, they are. So this is just beautiful. Sean, we're
basically at its time, but I want to make sure that people know these details again.
Sean Foyt, F-E-U-C-H-T-com, and then this let usworship.us, folks, let us worship.
dot us. Sean, we just got 30 seconds. Could you close us in a quick prayer? Yeah. Lord, I thank you, God,
for what you're doing in America. I thank you, Lord, that this is one of the greatest hours to be
alive, Lord, that the enemy overplayed his hand in the last season. And, God, you are bringing a
response from heaven of revival to our nation. God, I pray for faith and hope to an expectation
to grip every heart out there. And I pray, Lord, that you would have,
obliterate all negativity, pessimism, weariness. God, fill us, God. Fill us, God, with the fullness of
your presence in this season to come. In Jesus' name, amen.
Folks, we're at N.R.B. Can you spell it? N.R.B. And as I'm sitting here doing the show at
N.R.B, people just wander by. You see people, for example, Star Parker just wandered by.
And I said, hey, hey, hey, Alvin says we need a star on our show.
And here she is. Star Parker, welcome.
Well, thank you. I wasn't just wondering by.
I'm actually trying to find out where the green room is so that I can get on stage and do my little thing that they want me to do today.
That's called wandering by you. From my point of view, you're just, you're out there.
You're not scheduled. And I go grab that woman.
So there are people who know everything about you and the people who know nothing about you.
So tell my listeners, who is Star Parker.
Well, I really appreciate that because you're exactly right.
A lot of people know the name, but they don't know exactly what I do.
I actually run an organization called Cure.
It's the Center for Urban Renewal and Education.
We're based in Washington, D.C.
We're a Policy Institute, and we work on welfare reform at all related issues.
Our guess you could say our mission is to fight poverty and restore dignity through messages of faith and freedom and personal responsibility.
So we work to get the Congress to get out of the anti-poverty business, and then we work to get the churches back in.
So when did you start Cure?
Well, we're in our 25th year, believe in.
or not, but I've been Washington, D.C., full-time with Cure for the last 10 years.
And we have three programs, not just the policy program, to where we promote ideas of
educational choice and get out of abortion business, but we also look to reform Social Security
so that money will go to IRAs instead of go to the IRS.
And we've been doing that work there full-time.
So we have the policy center.
We have a clergy center, too.
So we have about 500 pastors that are serving in our most distressed communities and zip codes.
that we're helping them understand that the answer to poverty is freedom and personal responsibility,
that is not a welfare state.
And then we have a media center.
And that's one of the reasons I'm here.
And I have my own show called Care America, Whittstar Parker,
and we own Black Community News.com just to get these messages into places that need them the most.
And when did you, as a black woman, become economically and socially conservative?
When did that happen?
Were you raised that way, or was it a discovery?
Well, it was a discovery after I was born again, because up until the point I was born again,
I was listening to all the lies of the left, similar to what we're hearing today.
Constantly, my problems are somebody else's fault.
America's so racist don't mainstream.
You're poor because others are wealthy, and I heard that all my young life, and so I got very aggressive living for the day.
I was involved in criminal activity and drug activity and drug activity and out of abortion clinic after clinic,
in and out of welfare after welfare, and then I got born again, and I just changed my life.
When did you get born again?
I was probably in mid-80s or so.
In the mid-80s?
That's about when I got born again.
Yeah, I just got born again, and then I started just changing my mind.
You know, God has got a person of responsibility.
So I got back to school, got a degree in marketing and international business.
I started one.
The 1992 Los Angeles riots destroyed my business, and that's when I began to work in public policy.
I worked on welfare reform in the 90s with the GOP Congress, with New England and all the guys.
And then I started my group to say, okay, we just told 5 million women.
and nine million children were not to do, maybe we should tell them what they should be thinking about.
Very nice.
Okay, so, you know, a lot of times people who have not experienced abortions of that world,
they look at it like it's some horrible other thing.
But, you know, you've just been public about it.
It's part of my story.
And it's a sad, very sad thing.
But how do you deal with it?
Because there are a lot of women that they don't want to talk about it because it's too painful.
Right.
But you said you were born again.
you dealt with that mistake, putting it mildly?
That is pretty mild, but when you think about God and his forgiveness, he forgives of all
sin, and we think about many that he tells us about and the grievances that they had and the
depth of sin that they did, he forgives abortion the same way he forgives all sin.
So once you've said, I'm casting this, he cast it from east to west, so you can't even
see it anymore.
But you're absolutely right.
Some, they keep beating themselves up, and that's one of the reasons we have about
5,000 pregnancy care centers across the country now that will help women discover themselves again
and know that God is not mad at them, that he forgives them and that he has purpose for their lives.
And so I would suggest that people that are still struggling and can't seem to forgive themselves
to get into one of our pregnancy care centers and let them walk her through.
And not just her.
Men are dealing with it, too.
You know, Fatherhood Aborted was a book written years and years ago, and it talks about different stories of different men who
reconciled afterborn again that they had killed an offspring and they just really couldn't
handle it anymore. But if you confess your false one to another, you get healed and it's fine.
So we do both things and our society does. The left lies on us. They pretend we don't care
about the woman or the child. We care about both. We care about that as Americans, we should
not be killing children. This is a crime against humanity, so we should not be doing it.
But it's also we care about the individuals, not only what they're experiencing, but what their
families are experiencing so there is help available in every community across this country.
My wife ran a pregnancy center in Manhattan for 12 years.
Really? I didn't know that. That's right. You think I'm a big nobody, don't you?
I didn't think you're a big nobody, but I didn't know that you could run a pregnancy care center in Manhattan.
In Manhattan, where they need it more than anything. And she has, you know, she took it to the next level,
and it's an extraordinary legacy that she has. But the fact is that if you care about women,
this is one of the main ways that women are destroyed, wounded, messed up for life.
And they have no place to tell their stories.
They think I need to shut up and be happy about my abortion, and they're not happy.
And they feel something's wrong with them when it's their conscience telling them you need God, you need forgiveness.
But you know what else?
It hurts not just the woman individually, but it hurts all women in our society.
Because when you think about abortion and how it interrupts family and tradition,
men are the ones that get lost when they don't marry.
And so when women manipulate the biological clock or get caught up in abortion and that lie,
then it's men that have no idea what they should be thinking about for their lives.
And that's one of the reasons we have 95% of the guys in our criminal system
who don't have any relationship with their dad,
the young kids that are in our youth correctional system have no relationship with their dad.
It is impact in every area of our lives as Americans.
It's one of the reasons that we even have a housing crisis,
because when marriage collapses, you need two places instead of one.
And so in social policy, we have many things that we're trying to fix,
but it's all rooted in a problem of dismantled family life,
and abortion is that root of dismantling family life and tradition.
Well, I just want to say it's just a blessing to know you're out there doing what you're doing.
I think that, you know, cure.
Now, if people want to find cure, by the way, what is the website?
Curepolicy.org, urbancure.org,
Starparker.org.
With the name like Star Parker, how tough could you be to find?
Well, I'm still running from the people that keep, you know, trying to destroy me
because they're trying to cancel me or kill me.
And so I must not be that hard to find.
I am in a...
You seem like you're doing fine for some of you.
Listen, if people are trying to cancel you or kill me.
That is a badge of honor.
That is a badge of honor.
Well, unfortunately, we're out of time.
Star Parker, we love you.
We love what you do.
Thank you.
God bless you.
I'm glad you caught me walking on by.
Just wandering.
aimlessly sadly grab that woman albin i'm exhausted from the previous two segments me too i am just
you know wow wrung out i know i mean first i did that very dramatic over the top almost
effeminate reading of uh what are you going to do of of uncle mugsy the sequel which is yankee doodle
mugsy it was kind of an italianate uh southern european kind of just just the emotion
was on the sleeve there and I couldn't help it man no but but then we did an ask metaxis
and then we did a listener writes yes we did and man that's just high quality content if anybody
listened to it or missed it you need to go back folks because this will be on the test I can tell you
right now just go back I want to say um the other day of course was my birthday and I and my birthday
by the way is also my father's birthday I was born on his 36th birthday and I tell the details of that
in my book I understand fish out of water
I understand the Greek culture that the firstborn son must be born on the same day as the father to continue.
That's in the contract.
It is.
And if my mother hadn't fulfilled that, I mean, if she delivered late or some weird thing like that, the marriage could be off.
Yeah.
It's really serious in the Greek community.
So anyway, the point is we pulled it off.
I was born on my father's birthday.
And that was, so we celebrated my dad's 94th birthday this past Sunday.
And obviously it was my birthday.
My mother's birthday three days before.
It's kind of weird.
We didn't plan that, by the way.
Okay.
But then I find out the day after our birthday, my dad's in mind, is the birthday of Mike Lindell.
Wow.
And so my father's thinking of adopting him now as a third son.
I got a chill.
Yeah.
And I just want to say, folks, that could happen, but it might not happen.
I wonder if Jonathan Kahn can cover any of that in his Bible prophecy, things like that.
I know.
I know.
Man.
Wow.
Okay.
So, but anyway, on my birthday, I said to.
folks that since this is my birthday, if you want, if you're inclined to do something nice for me
and my birthday, please pre-order my new book. I don't mean the new book, fish out of water,
but the new book that's coming out in October, it's called Is Atheism Dead? And I am extremely
excited about that. So I tell people, you can go to Amazon, you go to Barnes & Noble, you can go to,
I don't know where you can, you know, like, I don't know where it's available, but you can
pre-order it from those places I know. And it hit, like, number one in atheism in all seriousness.
I was number one in atheism. It's not something. And I think.
I thought if more people ordered it, it would have dropped to number zero in atheism,
and the Internet would have been broken.
And then they were approved.
Your theory was correct.
I want to break the Internet.
Help me to break the Internet.
Help me to smash it.
I want to go back to 8-track cassette tapes.
Help Eric.
Eight-track tapes.
Okay, so we were talking about Mike Lindell.
So I said to people, please, if you haven't done it, pre-order my book, because it really
makes a difference, huge difference.
I mean, look, I'm getting canceled and banned.
You know, by the way, John Zmirak, you can't do a Google search on him.
He's being banned by Google.
Wow.
If you try to get a Google alert that Katie, who works with us, she said that that.
So this is happening.
Yeah.
And what happens to me and my friends, I know, whoop, it's getting creepy.
But we put on a happy face and we march on.
And I say, if you can help us, we'd be grateful to you.
You could help us by pre-ordering the book, which is called his atheism dead.
also you get the lowest price between now and October that they guarantee that so if it goes if the
price drops in September or October you'll get that price when it finally ships but uh Mike Lindell
when it was his birthday I thought we need to tell people if you want to celebrate Mike Lindell's birthday
because the man has spent his own money and time and energy for this country and you know a lot of
people say well you know Mike Lindell he's he's to this or he's to that hey folks he's spent many many
millions of his own money trying to get the truth out. So if for that only, I mean, I love him.
He's a friend. He's a dear soul. But I just want to say like, this guy's a hero. And so if you go to
my pillow.com or my store.com, obviously use the code Eric or you're going to jail. But if you use
the code Eric, you get a big discount. And a lot of my stuff is available at my store.com. But we haven't
recently spoken about the pillows and stuff. Folks, I'm telling you, you glance at the pillow. You're
out like a light. The towels are so thirsty that if you like put it into a room, it sucks out the
oxygen and the plants die. We're talking freaky technology. We're at a time. Mypillar.com. Use the code Eric
or you run a prison.
