Did you like your gravy sick and rich and loaded with creamy mushrooms? If no one was looking, would you chug the whole gravy boat? Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug. Stay tuned. Here comes Mr. Chugg himself, Eric Ma, Texas. Hey, the folks, welcome to the show. Today is Wednesday. I am in Atlanta, Georgia, or the Enverrons of Atlanta, Georgia. I believe this is Duluth. And I'm speaking at a T.P. USA faith event talking to pastors about the election, about where we are. It is very, very important. It's hard to believe we have less than two weeks until we go to the polls. Very, very important.

In a couple of minutes, I'm talking to Chris Ruddy. You talk about a hero. He is the CEO of Newsmax. Very exciting to think how serious they are about getting the actual news to Americans. We all know, I don't want to say this in front of Chris Ruddy, but like Fox News is like, They're so corporate. Sometimes they're good. A lot of times I don't want anything to do with them.

Their website, Fox News website, it's just awful sometimes. I will never forget watching the election results come in in 2020 on Fox. And just, I think everybody collectively went, what is happening when they called it early? It felt like the, you know, the fix was in. And I clicked over to Newsmax. And I think a lot of people did. They had this big wave of like you could feel that there was something disingenuous happening on Fox and like that was the only other place to kind of get some fair and balanced

information well yeah yeah i mean that's why i said a lot of what i said on this program because i thought people are just looking for somebody to help them process what's going on and fox was the last place to do that which it's pretty upsetting um but it was it was true um so in a couple of minutes i'm talking to chris ruddy who's the head of newsmax in hour two uh i want to air my conversation with Seth Gruber. Seth is a total hero. He is the head of the White Rose Resistance, which is the fastest growing pro-life organization in America.

He has put out a film. It comes out today, I believe, or maybe it was yesterday. It's called the 1916 project. This makes the case that Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was not only a racist, but she wanted to use birth control and abortion to wipe out what she thought of as the inferior races, the darker races. This is Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, that legacy lives on. We need to know the truth.

It is the 1916 project is the film. Seth Gruber will be my guest. Before we say any more, I want to remind you of our friends. at the Tunnel the Towers Foundation. I want to tell you a story about what they do. Christopher Chambers enlisted in the U.S. Navy graduated seal training while conducting a nighttime raid

on a ship illegally transporting aid from Iran to Houthi forces in Yemen. He was reported missing, and the eight-foot swells that night. He and another service member lost their lives. Folks, people have given their lives for this nation. I talk about this all the time. We need to take that seriously.

It's an unbelievable thing. that people give their lives. He was 37 years old. He left behind a wife and a young daughter. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation steps in to provide his family, his wife and daughter with a mortgage-free home. This is amazing stuff. They honor the legacy of those who've made the ultimate sacrifice. We ask you to help out those at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation who are doing this good work.

You can give $11 a month to T2T, that's the number two. T2T, Tunnel to T-2T-T-T-T-O-R-G. That's $11 a month. Please, please do that. So I mentioned that today I'm talking to Chris Ruddy and to Seth Gruber. There are a lot of heroes out there, and we try to, you know, showcase what they're doing on this program. I hope you'll tell your friends about the program. I hope you're signed up for our newsletter because in the newsletter,

every week, twice a week, we send out videos of all of these interviews with these folks so you can share them on social media. It's something we can do that we didn't used to be able to do in the past. To be able to share stuff on social media, I grew up in a world before social media, the idea that you can take my video with Seth Gruber when you get it in your inbox from Eric Metaxus.com, and you can just share it on social media to tell the world the truth about Planned Parenthood. Tell the world the truth about what's happening, about what we're facing.

Yesterday, I interviewed Aaron Brownback, who tells the truth about Tim Walts. I mean, who's a pro-communist wanting to sexualize the children lunatic. He is up to be vice president. I mean, you can't share this stuff. I mean, I want you to share this stuff because you can share this stuff. And we ask you to do that. But in order to do that, you got to get the videos. I mean, you can go to our Rumble channel, but it's just easier if you sign up at

Erkintaxas.com just because we sent everything to you. We've done a lot of tremendous interviews recently. Chris, you interviewed me about my Bonhoeffer book. That's available. Yeah, it was some real gotcha journalism. Yeah, it was. About your Vietnam service that you weren't expecting all kinds of stuff. And every question you asked me, I said, so I was born in.

and middle class family. And that way, I didn't have to answer the actual question. It was masterful on my part, masterful obfuscation in the interview. But if people want to see that interview and want to hear kind of behind the scenes stuff about the Bonhofer book. There were allegations that you dressed up like the Chanaman Square tank every year for the last 30 Halleons. No, that was Tim Walts.

You're confusing me with two. I can see how you make that mistake. Because I have also minced across the stage. and flailed my hands in an effeminate fashion. I've done that many times, and so I can understand why you would get that wrong. Yeah, you're doing it right now. Actually, before I forget, I also want to share,

we've got some friends of the program, Medishare 65 plus. We are asking you to dial 86688 Bible to find out about MediShare 65 plus. In a nutshell, even if you have Medicare parts A and B, there are out-of-pocket expenses. Healthcare costs have skyrocketed. So the good news is Medashear 65 plus is designed to fill those gaps for only $99 a month up to age 75.

You can get peace of mind. You have to go to 86688 Bible, dial 86688 Bible to find out about MediShare 65 plus. Okay, so before we go, to our guest today. Again, Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax and Seth Gruber talking about the 1916 project. I want to remind everybody

that we just have a few days before the folks who are putting together this Greek cruise. It's a 10-day cruise. I'll be speaking at least six times on my different books and doing Q&A.

Honestly, this is going to be a lot of fun. I don't get to do that. Typically, I get to talk on my newest book, but to be able to talk about, And is atheism dead and fish out of water and Amazing Grace and Luther. And it's going to be a blast. And it's going to be, we're going to be on the Mediterranean.

It's going to be unbelievable. But the tour company says that after October 31st, they remove a lot of the rooms that they've been holding. So I've been told to tell you, if you're thinking about this, please go to ericmetaxis.com slash cruise so that you can be sure that you get, you know, the room you're looking for. And what amazes me, too, is how affordable it is. I mean, I've got to say, Suzanne and I did this a year ago. We sailed across the ocean on a canard liner. And I thought, this is great.

Like, this is great. It's not expensive. It's just the whole thing was, like, really surprising to me. And so this is, this is Norwegian cruise line. and the ship is the brand new ship. I forget what it's called. The Viva, sorry. It's their brand new ship.

You can look it up online, but go to EricMetaxis.com. Yeah, track on it, and it comes with the Victoria Jackson. Ericmataxis.com slash cruise, and yes, there's a three-level go-car track. I'm going to be doing that. Chris, we're going to be on this.

We're going to be doing this. Oh, yeah. I'm going to live right over the rail. John Smirak is doing it. Victoria Jackson. We're going to be on the go-car track. Who wants to miss this? It's lunacy.

So it's Ericmetaxis.com slash cruise. Ericmataxis.com slash cruise. I would like to encourage you to check it out. And please tell your friends, friends and family, this is really, it's going to be a blast. All right. Stick around. Hey, folks.

I hope you know my friend Seth Gruber, but it doesn't matter whether you do because here he is now. You can get to know him today.

Seth Gruber, welcome. You really are a friend. And we have some exciting news. Today, your new book comes out. Am I getting that right? Yes, brother. Thanks for having me on. And awesome to have you at the screening of the film by the same name,

recently in Nashville, the 1916 project. 3,500 people came out to see the film and to see you. And so thanks for being a part of the project. And thanks for being in the film, brother. Well, a privilege to be in the film. My part in the film, folks, is the least important part. and just tipping you off when you see the film. But honestly, this is very important, Seth.

Very important. It's called the 1916 Project. That's the film coming out in October. But you have written a book, which is out today. It's called the 1916 Project. So here's the question. Why is it called the 1916 Project? That's right.

Thanks, brother. I've got to tease this when you had me on this show at NRB earlier this year. And now the book is done. It releases today, September 4th. The full name of the book is The 1916 Project, The Lying, The Witch, and the War We're in. The Lying, The Witch, and the War we're in. And it was a providential sort of fun thing from the Lord, I think.

When we were planning this project, Eric, I was explaining it to my team. I was like, basically, it's the high priests of humanism. It's all the kooky, weird, sex-obsessed, miserable leftists, neo-pagan revivalist cultural Marxists of the 20th century who really architected the culture of death unfolding before us so quickly in the 21st century. It's the hidden history. It's the dirty little secrets of that revolution. And I was explaining this concept of what became the 1916 project. And one of my chief of staff, Eric, said, you know, it sounds like you're explaining the 1619 project, but like as it should have been, like redemptively, like the right

way. And that was when I said, guys, oh my gosh, Margaret Sanger, probably the most successful revolutionary leftist of the 20th century and the founder of Planned Parenthood, guys, she opened her first clinic in 1916. It's not the 1619 project. It's the 1916 project. And as a brief primer for your listeners, I'm sure you covered this back back at the time, Eric, but 1619 project, Nicole Hannah-Jones, New York Times project. She's a purple-haired Marxist. She was mentored by Angela Davis, an anti-white racist in her 80s today who's still alive. Angela Davis, who was trained by Herbert Marcusa of the Frankfurt School, Herbert Marcusa, who along with Wilhelm Reich, were two of the fathers of the free love movement.

Anyways, so the 1619 project, which is really cultural Marxism, it's literally the byproduct of discipleship from the Frankfurt School, says America is racist, racist. Everything is racist because the first black slaves came to American shores in 1619. that's who we really are. And now the 16-90 project is, it's on Hulu. It's a special on Hulu. It's K-12 curriculum and a lot of schools. So we flipped that and said, actually, if you want to understand the true racist, bigoted, disgusting culture of death in America today in the 21st century, you go back to 1916 when Margaret Sanger opened her first clinic in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

That date, my contention, Eric, is that that date has more wickedness flowing out of it, impacting America. American culture, the family, our children in the 21st century, than maybe any other date and any other human being in the 20th century. We expose all those dirty little secrets in the book and film. And I've seen the film, as I mentioned, I'm in it briefly. But honestly, what you do is you help people understand how we got here. You name the names and you make clear. And this is kind of like the headline, the shocker, is that Margaret Sanger, the founder of

Planned Parenthood, who opened up the first clinic in 1916 before was called Planned Parenthood, she had as her goal, it sounds very laudable, right, folks? Eugenics. We want more of the good kind of people and fewer of the bad kind of people, except then you think, what do you mean bad kind of people? What do you mean, Margaret Sanger, bad kind of people? Well, she's an evolutionary thinker. She believes in evolution.

She believes some people, white people, are more evolved than the dark. colored races. So let's eliminate the darker colored people. Let's do it by euthanasia. Let's do it by anything we can. Let's do it by birth control. Let's do it by abortion. Let's do what we need to do to get rid of the bad people. It is so horrifying that it takes some processing when you realize that people thought this through and they thought we're going to use quote unquote science to eliminate the people we don't like. So at its heart, plant, parenthood was, I mean, even to say it's founded on racism is kind of putting it kindly. It was founded on wanting to wipe out black people.

It was founded on wanting to wipe out. I mean, basically what Hitler was doing got at start with Margaret Sanger and Planned Hu. I mean, it's amazing, but you, and I just want to say this because I want people to read the book and see the film, you are very clear. In other words, this is not a theory. you talk about the people and what they believed. Everybody in America needs to understand what happened.

Everybody in the West needs to understand what happened. But that's what the 1916 project is. So let me first say, congratulations today. The book is out. But I have to say both of us have a hope that people would read it and would understand this is how we got here. And we need to tell everybody how we got here. This is not, these are not good people.

These are people with really wicked ideas. Yeah, that's right. Ideas have consequences and bad ideas have victims. And once you see and hear this stuff, you can't unsee and you can't unhear it. There is, I can add some nuance to this conversation in terms of the history and air some little Easter eggs of the dirty secrets here. I don't know when your segment break is. But Leon Whitney, who was a executive secretary of the American Eugenic Society, okay, he worked for Madison Grant. Madison Grant wrote a book in 1916 called The Passing of the Great Race.

which Hitler later called his Bible, his Bible. And that's from Leon Whitney's unpublished papers, because Leon Whitney was receiving fan mail from Hitler. And so he took it to Madison Grant, and he said, oh, my gosh, our writings are influencing the Germans. And Madison Grant smiled and chuckled and pulled out his own letter he just received from the same German corporal recently out of prison

and rising in the German political scene after his failed coup attempt in Munich, calling Madison Grant's book, also published in 1916, interesting, all the evil happening in 1960, Eric, calling his book, His Bible. Madison Grant had once put an African pygmy in a zoo cage with a monkey at the New York City Bronx Zoo to quote, illustrate evolution.

Odabanga was the name of that African pygmy. Oda Banga later shot himself in the head and committed suicide because of the atrocities he was forced to undergo by Margaret Sanger's best friends, by the members and founders of the American Eugenic Society. Anyways, this guy, Leon Whitney wrote an article in Sanger's magazine, the birth control review called selective sterilization and urgent need. It's very urgent that we sterilize people that saying are called human weeds, Eric, and defective stocks, end quote, her words, not mine. Defective what? Defective stocks. I just want to say, again, editorializing or

annotating, ladies and gentlemen, think about this. If you have a biblical worldview, you don't believe there is any such thing as human weeds. Everyone is made in God's image. Every human human being is sacred. But if you don't have that biblical view, if you have a pure evolutionary view, you say, nobody's sacred. There are just some better people and some people that aren't as good. And we are perfectly within our rights, if we have power to eliminate the week. That's right. That's what the Nazis did. They got it from the founder of Planned Parenthood and the people with whom she surrounded herself. Now, I remember hearing about this years ago and just going, oh, that can't be right. Oh, that's, that's, you know, that's pro-life people kind of exaggerating.

You have the so-called receipts. You make it very clear. I mean, again, it's sort of too horrible to believe, but it's true. Right. So we have to see it. Eric, it makes people go, have you been watching too much Alex Jones? You know, I think you need to take off your tin hat, Eric. And I'm over here as a homeschool kid with intellectual ADHD who does way too much research. I'm like, no, no, no, I can prove it to you all. And so Leon Whitney, this demon, Eric, once called Adolf Hitler, one of the greatest social planners in the world. Well, he used to meet with Margaret Sanger. Let me say again, this guy works for Madison Grant who put a black man in a cage with a monkey and was writing for Sanger's magazine

and was a financier and friend and advisor. Leon Whitney once met with Sanger. I've read these manuscripts of him recounting his meetings with Margaret Sanger in New York City. And Leon Whitney, Eric said, hey, Margaret, You know, your magazine, you're trying to do the same thing that we're trying to do with our magazine at the American Eugenic Society. He tried to convince her to merge the two magazines and ministries, ministries, organizations, and make them one and the same. Because he told Margaret Singer, you're trying to accomplish the same thing we are at the American Eugenic Society. And she seriously considered, almost did, merge Planned Parenthood with the American Eugenic Society to be one in the same.

Leon Whitney later said about the Nazis, Eric. He said, while we were pussyfooting around, the Germans were calling a spade a spade. In other words, they so looked up to what Hitler was trying to do in Nazi Germany and eventually did, that they were actually jealous that American leftist and eugenicists were not willing to take their heinous ideas to as much of a deadly logical conclusion as Hitler was. We're going to go to a break. Folks, brand new today by Seth Gruber. It is the 1916 Project, The Book.

That's a nice word for what the 1619 project is, which purports to say that, you know, America is raised. and it all began in 16. I mean, it's wrong on many levels. But the 1916 project, unfortunately, is completely true. And it is a picture of how we got to where we are now. I'm talking to the author of the brand new book, 1916 Project, Seth Gruber. So, Seth, how did you get interested

in all this stuff? Because you are, you're very rapid fire when you talk. I mean, there's a lot of facts here, most of which are unfamiliar to people. people. That's why this is so important because you're covering a lot of stuff that hasn't been covered. But how did you originally get kind of pulled into thinking about this? You're a gigantic pro-life voice in America. When you were growing up, were you thinking about this stuff? So, Eric, you're awesome. I'll answer that in two ways. One, I've been a pro-life activist since I was a fetus, so a really long time. My mother was the executive director of a pregnancy research. Center in Los Angeles County in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I was born in 1991, so I just

turned 33. And my mother was waddling around the pregnancy center, nine months pregnant with me, Eric, saving babies and loving on moms. And so if it's her body, her choice, and there is no baby. It's just an insince blob of non-person tissue, kind of like by abortion health care, then I guess I just was my mother's body, because the law of transitive property says if A equals B and B equals C, then A equals C. So if the baby is not a baby, it's all her body. That's why they don't say our body's my choice. They say my body, my choice. Then I guess that means every baby my mother saved while pregnant with me and directing a pregnancy resource center. I guess I saved those babies. Follow the science. All right. Except you can't fool me. You're a different body from your mother,

and you always have been, including when you were a zygoed in her womb. But that's, so you got started this way. Yeah. I mean, Eric, I really understand the logic of abortion and the logic to transgenderism. You see, I, too, was a man trapped in a woman's body and then I was born. Okay, that's very funny. I've heard that. I don't know who came up with that, but the idea that I was a man trapped in a woman's body and then I was born. That's funny. That's, that's actually very funny. So, but this story, I mean, you trace, I mean, there's a lot of names in this book, which are in the film, the 1916 project, which is coming out in October. but it is important to go back and to trace them. So where do you start? I mean, you start someplace in the 19th century.

Yeah. So, Eric, sometimes people, have you heard of Godwin's law? I'm sure you have when you did Bonhofer. It's like, it's this social media rule where it's like, how long does it take a conservative to compare something to Hitler? And it's like this attack that like is used against the left and the right to say like, you're such an idiot. You don't have any other historical marker in history to compare things to except Hitler.

And so like when conservatives like you and me might say like, hey, we're seeing a lot of the same things happen ideologically and culturally and politically right now that I'm pretty sure we saw in the Third Reich. And then like the left is like Godwin's law, stupid Eric Metaxus doesn't know about any other historical events. Obviously that's not true. But what's funny about the links between the sexual revolution, the abortion industry and the culture of death is actually how Hitlerian it is. Like how many links there are with American leftists and the Third Reich. We expose that all and we have all the citations. But here's why it's important to understand this stuff. Hilar Boloch, G.K. Chesterton's best friend, said to comprehend the history of a thing is to unlock the mysteries of its present, but more to discover the profundities of its future.

In other words, we don't study history only to understand what happened then. We study history to understand what's happening now and what will continue to happen moving forward if nothing changes. So, yes, there are shocking, Hitlerian Nazi eugenics length that we study. will rip your face off and blow your mind. But we take it back further than that. We go at least back to Thomas Malthus, the namesake of this belief of Malthusianism, which is totally Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, George Soros,

the whole cabal. There's too many people on planet Earth, said Thomas Malthus, and so food production can't keep up with population growth. So we need to drastically reduce the world population through neo-Malthusian eugenics. Well, here's where it gets shocking. Talk about secular discipleship, Eric.

Talk about how the left has been a better job. to disciple people into neo-paganism, to be the priests of humanism, than the church has done in the last hundred years to raise up the sons and daughters of God to advocate for pure and undefiled religion and established righteousness. Thomas Malthus was very influential on a man named Charles Darwin. Darwin read Malthus's writings. It's what drove his study on the Beagle, and it's what inspired him to write his book, The Origin of Species.

Well, Darwin's half-cous, talking about the apple not falling far from the tree, His cousin, Francis Galton, said that origin of species was so influential on him, Francis Galton, that it inspired him to coin a term, to invent a word, eugenics. Francis Galton is the father of eugenics. He coined the stinking term, Eric, and he became the father of the modern eugenics movement. Francis Galton mentored a guy named Havelock Ellis. Havelock Ellis was the Alfred Kinsey of England. I know this is hard. It's a lot of names right now for the audience, but your audience is super educated and fired up. So Havlock Ellis is a sexual theorist. He writes over 100 books on every weird form of sexual experimentation. He himself is impotent. So he's always trying to find new ways to get excited. Havelock Ellis begins a raging affair with Margaret Sanger. He wrote about his sexual experiences in bed with Margaret Sanger, forced his wife to read those letters, brother, eventually drove his wife insane. Havelock Ellis would host orgies in his home and force his wife to watch him as he participated in these. Um, entanglements. I mean, I want to be clear, you know, you're tracing Malthus, uh, to Darwin, to Galton, to Havelaac Ellis, to Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.

And we're not making this stuff up. It's, it's horrifying. And when you think at, you know, all this evil stuff started in the 60s, no folks, it started a long time ago. You need to know how it started. And if you read the 1916 project, you'll know. We'll be right back with the author. gruber don't go away

The book is the 1916 project. And the film is the 1916 project. I am in the film. I play a young Truman Capote. Can't get into that right now. But you need to see the film, the 1916 project. So how can people see the film? Yeah, thanks, Eric. So, Eric, you were actually at our largest screening around the country. We had about 3,500 people outside of Nashville with Pastor Allen Jackson. Incredible to have you there. Any church in the country can screen this film at their church right now. If you have leadership, to quote C.S. Lewis, with a chest who care more about pleasing Jesus and standing for righteousness than your 501C3 status and being invited to Davos with Rick Warren and Klaus Schwab. So if you're a church that's fired up in bold, you can go to the 166. 16 project.com. It's just the name of the project.com. The 1916 project.com. You can press attend a screening and see our hundreds and hundreds of churches screening it, maybe near you,

or get your pastors and elders. We're also letting Christian schools host screenings, okay? And so you can press host a screening, fill out a form, and you can host a screening of this at your church. We'll send you one of our White Rose representatives or one of us can zoom in live and talk to your people. This is snowballing, taking off organically all around the country. And Eric, I want to announced to your viewer something very exciting. I haven't announced this on social media yet, but since you're in the film, I want to share with your listeners that we will be distributing this film online in October through Angel Studios. They said it was the highest rated guild score of any documentary ever submitted to Angel Studios. And so I'm very excited to have this come out right before the

election. Wow. Okay, now folks, so you heard about this. You can see it yourself in October, but right now your church can do a screening. You know me. I say this all the time. It's the same thing for the film that I made, Letter to the American Church. If your church is not interested in doing a free screening of letter to the American church, if your church is not interested in doing a free screening of the 1916 project, here's a question. Why are you going to that church, folks? Do you understand what time it is? Do you understand where we are in America? Do you understand what is at stake in the election? ahead. Why are you going to a church that is not interested? So the 1916 project.com, people can get their church to screen the film. You can see the film. Again, it's a wonderful film. It's an important film. It's a wonderful book. It's an important book. It's amazing, you know, Seth, that there are so many, quote-unquote, churches in America that wouldn't go anywhere near this stuff.

Yeah, well, Leonard Ravenhill said, Eric, the reason we have so many pygmies in our pews is because we have so many puppets in our pulpits. And I think that's never proven more true in our lifetime than in the last several years. This is the spirit of Lott, okay? It's the spirit of Lott in the church that has ruined the culture, brother. We have Christian influencers and pastors and authors in Sodom, if I can analogize America to Lott's context, who when the mob comes to the front door of the righteous and insist that the righteous participate in wickedness by stepping aside and letting them have sex with angels. Rather than stand up for the cause of the vulnerable, the oppressed, the children, the next generation, rather than be a bulwark against evil and say you shall not pass like a

Gandalf figure, we have pastors in America with the spirit of Lott who when a man, a pastor, a father, a leader is needed, rather than stand, they step aside and say, here are my daughters, have sex with them instead. We're in the process of offering up the next generation and our posterity on a silver platter to the demonically inspired culture of death and mob who are all at the front door of the remnant and the righteous, insisting that the church participate in evil, saying, have your way with them. That's the spirit of love. That's what destroys cultures and societies. We are trying to teach Christians how to be salty again at the White Rose Resistance, the fastest growing pro-life organization in America. And our big initiative is the 1960 project, the book and film. And we're

out launching resistance chapters, Eric, all around the country. We just launched in Southern California with Jack Kibbs in Denver with Pastor Jeff from Brave Church. We're launching in Fort Worth in October, and we're launching in Florida this month in September. Next year, we have a bunch of launches already planned. If this is as evil as I'm saying it is, and if we are so close to flirting with a Rubicon line in America, Eric, then it's going to take a lot more than voting. That's the beginning of your civic duty as a Christian. But we're in such a mess. I'm not sure we can vote our way out of it. And with our weak GOP, I don't think the politicians are coming to save us anytime soon. It will take a rebirth of Christian resistance at the local level of Christians learning how to be comfortable with being

uncomfortable and getting the spirit of Gideon walking out of your comfortable little cave, sorry, congregations, and start tearing down some Asherapoles and some Bayall statues, giving God a reason to show America mercy. That's what we're doing at the White Rose Resistance. And people can get engaged with our ministry by going to thewhiterose.com if you want to become a monthly supporter or going to the 1916 Project.com, hosting a screening, being part of our launch team in October when this launches free, free for two weeks right before the election on the Angel Studios app and on this platform called, oh, yeah, X, formerly known as Twitter, free for two weeks. Once you see this film, you'll understand its power, not just to swing elections, but to reawaken the blood-bought

bride of Christ in America. I mean, it's so exciting. All this is going on. Give us the 30-7. or 42nd story of what is the White Rose resistance? It's, yeah, we're named after an anti-Nazi Christian resistance movement whose story we tell at the end of the film of Hans and Sophie Scholl, brother, sister, 24 and 21 years old, and their other 20-something friends who distributed anti-Nazi leaflets, Ephesians 511, exposing the deeds of darkness, pricking the conscience and asking people to get engaged. We're rebuilding the white rose resistance for this generation against our silent but far more deadly holocaust of abortion to build that army of Christian resistance,

which is always needed if we're going to bring a grinding halt to evil in America. And I can't think of a time that the culture has needed Christian resistance more than right now in 2024. There's no doubt about it. And I want to say again, you know, if your church, folks, I've been through this the last six months with a letter to the American church. How many churches screened it? Wow, amazing. But how many churches wouldn't even dream of it? They go, no, no, no, we don't want to get political.

And I'm thinking, wait a minute. We're talking about standing against evil. That's the Bonhofer of the church is the conscience of the state. Why are you going to a church that doesn't want to screen a letter to the American church or that doesn't want to touch this stuff? I say the same thing about the 1916 project. You've just heard Seth Gruber say churches can screen the film now. If you're going to a church, demand that they screen it.

People don't have to go, but they can screen it. 1916project.com, or is it the 1916 project? The 1916. 16project.com. You can screen the film, folks. It is very important. It's extraordinary. The book is the 1916 project.

Seth Gruber, my friend. The lying, the witch and the war we're in by Seth Cooper, the 1916 project. Everything I couldn't fit in the film I put in the book. So the book actually goes a lot deeper. I was going to say there's no doubt about that. Congratulations, the 1916 project. Check it out. Seth, thank you so much.

Thank you, brother. Folks, I keep mentioning that. We've been calling people to fast and pray for the election, calling churches to do that. And Chris, you shared with me this morning. Some folks have written in who are doing this. And I said, I want to read these on the air to encourage people, to encourage your church to do this. And you can sign your church up at ericmetaxis.com slash pray. We sent out a weekly letter, email.

But I want to read one from a church in Fort Worth. This is so encouraging. It says, the person writing this says that she felt the same burden that we shared on this program and is heading up the fasting and praying time in their church from October 1st through November 5th, so this is already happening. And she sent this out to church members and her Bible study group and her Christian friends. She writes, we're well aware that we're living through some dark times, but each of us is here for such a time as this.

Kings Cross Fellowship, that's this church in Fort Worth, is calling believers to do what? God asks us to do as the church when our land is in distress. Our natural inclination is to make our primary focus stopping the perpetrators of evil. But the scripture tells us something different. The Lord says in Chronicle 714 that if my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven will forgive their sins and will heal their land. So it's God's people's responsibility to repent and pray when evil is flourishing. And this obviously doesn't mean we don't stand against evil and take action,

but we pray. So we're responsible for allowing the darkness to thrive if we do nothing. We must be the ones to push it back. The word also makes clear that fasting is part of the believers walk. This is where it gets to the hardcore stuff because a lot of us, myself included, were like, yeah, fasting, I don't know, really. Well, Jesus says in Matthew 617 through 18, when you fast. Anoint your head, wash your face. It's obvious that we who call ourselves Christians need to get serious on a number of levels, and we're missing something. There's a power in this. So this church says they're going to have a time of fasting and prayer for the welfare of the nation prior to the election. It's a sacrifice to focus on seeking the Lord through prayer during the time

that we would be indulging in something for ourselves. The fast can be giving up one meal a day, one meal a week, fasting from alcohol, crack cocaine. Just kidding. Just kidding. Just kidding. Just kidding. Fasting from sugar, whatever it is, it's between you and the Lord. But this is exciting to me. That's the church in Fort Worth. And we also got a letter from somebody who says, I'm an associate pastor in Lake Villa, Illinois at Chana Lake's Community Bible Church. We're doing 40 days of prayer and fasting for the election and hosting weekly prayer meetings and encouraging small group and individual prayers. prayer and giving out prayer cards. Thank you for initiating this, John Engberg. I got to tell you, this is God.

This is God calling his people to pray for this nation. And I want to tell everybody, folks, get in on this. Get in on this. And Fassians a way to sort of physically, you know, practically materially take your worries outside your body and present them to God. And you do it however you want. Maybe it means just having one cheese day. Well, I'm more of a stress eater, to be honest.

God doesn't honor stress eating. Well, first of all, it's physically healthy. Which is too bad. It's physically healthy to like fast a meal like a dinner. Like it's physically healthy. But it's just a great way to focus and to deny oneself in a particular way. So you can sign your church up at Ericmetaxis.com slash pray. And I don't want to forget, as of today, when I last check, we have 92 people paid.
