Summary

July 4, 2022, 22-year-old gunman Robert Crimo opened fire on an Independence Day parade outside of Chicago. As the individual death toll continues to rise, Jason unpacks how the events of the Highland Park shooting ended the very idea that revelers were there to celebrate. “What was born on the Fourth of July – a system of governance predicated on the belief that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with unalienable rights – died on the Fourth of July. For 246 years, that belief united the States of America. That belief is gone now. It’s been eradicated from the minds of too many Americans for this country to remain whole.” Jason argues that the tragedy is the latest byproduct of a country that has rejected the biblical principles it was founded on and embraced a culture that glorifies violence, death, idolatry, and division. “Our current culture will continue to manufacture Robert Crimos the same way factory assembly lines produce SUVs. American culture is narcissistic by any means necessary and views the right to kill as fundamental to freedom.” America’s only hope lies in a resurrection of biblical values and spiritual rebirth.    ​​Today's Sponsor: Switch today with Patriot Mobile!
