Summary

What if your social feed is the worst guide for what’s actually happening on the ground? We dive into Minneapolis as a live case study in how unrest evolves from daytime protest to nighttime agitation, how leadership signals change outcomes, and why the right kind of de-escalation can lower the temperature without abandoning the rule of law. Along the way, we unpack the media’s role in amplifying or abandoning narratives, including the swift backlash to calls for disrupting churches, and what...

Thanks for joining us today on the wall builder show.

Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton.

0:13.1

We're taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical, and constitutional

0:17.3

perspective, lots of hot topics out there right now.

0:20.1

Obviously, you still got the

0:21.3

Minneapolis chaos. You got Iran and lots of different things happening. So guys, today's kind of

0:27.5

catch up. We haven't had a chance to just chat for a full program. Usually have interviews

0:31.6

Monday through Wednesday. And then, of course, our foundations program with all of our listeners

0:35.8

asking questions on Thursdays and then catching

0:37.7

up on Friday with good news. So today, man, let's just hit some of these hot topics going

0:41.9

around the horn and probably the first one to throw out to you guys is Minneapolis. At least

0:46.8

that's what I'm seeing the most in my social media feeds. That's, of course, an echo chamber.

0:52.0

So we've all got our own selected echo chamber. So that doesn't mean that's what everybody else is seen. But what do you guys think? How about we catch up a little bit on that one?

1:22.5

left-leaning commentators just to try to make sure I get some of those voices as well, but it definitely seems my algorithm knows. No, that means you're doing what Zig Zigler told us years ago to do. He said every morning, I get up and I read the Bible and the New York Times, and then I know what both sides are up to. So you're doing the same thing. You're just making sure you know what both sides are up to. That's exactly right, except somehow my algorithm knows I'm still more of like a John Wayne and like White Christmas

1:49.0

Disney fan. And so for whatever reason, right, it keeps sending me things in a different lane.

1:54.8

Not to digress on that too much. It was interesting that President Trump had the interview with Will Kane,

1:59.3

was it last night, and talked about maybe de-escalating some of what's happening in Minnesota. And I think by

2:05.2

de-escalating, really, it's a temperature that's de-escalating when, of course, he had the phone
