| 0:00.0 | Yeah, Ben. Yes, sir. |
| 0:03.0 | Oracle Monday because I'm alive. I'm alive. I tell you. And it feels miraculous. I've been on this like journey. I'm now in Brandywine, Pennsylvania tonight. |
| 0:28.0 | I'm speaking at an event in case anybody can get to Brandywine or West Brandywine, Pennsylvania tonight folks tonight. I'm speaking at an event. I think it starts at 630. You have to go to my website, Eric, |
| 0:43.0 | and it will give you the details, but I'm speaking tonight. It's a Republican group here in Pennsylvania. I'm going to be talking about probably mostly about my book if you can keep it and the golden triangle of freedom. |
| 0:58.0 | We're at an inflection point in the country and in the church in the United States. And so I want to repeat what I said earlier, a number of things. First of all, we, I have an article that came out today. |
| 1:13.0 | It'll be out by the time you hear my voice here. At stream.org. It's called bigotry in Christianity today at Easter. I think that's the title. |
| 1:25.0 | Christianity today published an article a few weeks ago right around Easter and it was really disturbing. It was bigotry. It was bigotry. But it was bigotry never calls itself bigotry and usually is not aware that it's bigotry. |
| 1:39.0 | It thinks of itself as virtuous somehow. But as I say in the article, it is terrible what they wrote in Christianity today, what they allowed to be written there, what they published. |
| 1:51.0 | And it's an article by Russell Moore. And I think these folks are just misguided. I don't think these are evil people. I just think they're misguided and they're misreading the times in which we find ourselves. |
| 2:04.0 | So that article is at stream.org today. So I want to mention that. I also want to mention that today in both hours, we're going to continue the conversation with Charlie Duke in a few minutes. He's the Apollo 16 astronaut who's walked on the moon 50 years ago, exactly 50 years. |
| 2:22.0 | Oh, it's amazing things. Some of you know we're doing an event in New York, a soccer, he's a city event with the great Charlie Duke. I cannot believe I'm going to get to meet this man. He is a profound Christian. And if you know somebody in New York, maybe he wasn't where you are. Maybe they're not serious about God. |
| 2:41.0 | Maybe it's a young person or whatever. Buy them a ticket to go to this event because Charlie Duke never ceases to talk about his faith in God. So it's an amazing thing to be in a room with someone who walked on the moon. |
| 2:55.0 | But who shares that the most important thing in his life is his faith. So if you know anybody in the New York area, we still have the early bird tickets work, we're keeping them available so that people can still go to this event. |
| 3:09.0 | And if you're just club, you know, there's it's it's it's it's an it's an amazing event. It's a miss will be like the third or fourth time you've been in the same room as someone who walked on the moon, right. |
| 3:20.0 | No, I've never the only time I've ever been. |
| 3:25.0 | I met in in. |
| 3:28.0 | I've never been in the room with somebody other than Buzz Aldrin many years ago. So this is very exciting. And if you want to be there or if you know anybody in New York City who wants to be there, |
| 3:45.0 | or keeping the lower price tickets available, this is an expect these are very expensive events for us to do. And we we, you know, unless we fund raise unless somebody wants to write a check, it's very hard for us to pay for the events because we're going to be there. |
| 4:01.0 | We're trying to get them out. Part of what we do really is we have an event where there's 250 people in the room, but we want to get it out to 250,000 people we want as many people as possible to watch these events. |
| 4:21.0 | And if you go to Socrates and city.com, some of them, if you go to the YouTube account, they've been seen close to a million times. I mean, my interview with John Lennox, I think, has been seen. It's coming close to a million views. |
| 4:38.0 | So it's important for us to get the word out. And when a man who's walked on the moon talks about his faith in Jesus, I think that's worth doing and that's worth getting out there. And these events really are tremendously special. So I mentioned before there are going to be some celebrities in the room. I'm not able to give the names yet. |
| 4:58.0 | But I will because I at least I hope I'll be able to, but the point is that these are very special events. You have to go to Socrates in the city.com. You'll see it there. I'll I'll give you more updates in the weeks ahead. If we don't fill up, I will keep talking about it because I want as many people that come as possible. It's just going to be an amazing thing. |
