Well, good morning to all my fellow Americans. It is an honor yet again to be sitting here in the chair in war room where we are temporarily holding the seat for our good friend Steve Bannon as he is sitting in a prison for you and that's frankly something that I

think he wears as a badge of honor but we should all be continuing to

pray for him and in that spirit I want to open as I did last week with a Bible verse Isaiah 43 1 and 2

fear not for I have redeemed you I've called you by name you are mine when you pass

through the waters I will be with you and through the

rivers they shall not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire you shall not be

burned and the flame shall not consume you. Now consider this scripture was said by our Lord through

Isaiah at a time when he was consoling Israel at one of their lowest points in

history during Babylonian exile.

And the point here is that God never abandons his children.

That's the point.

That's the takeaway.

And after a week like this one, in a state where we feel where we are here in this country,

sometimes we need to think through that lens.

This place is called war room for a reason.

That's why I'm here.

We also have to remember that Israel's exile is a cautionary tale for us as Americans.

They had every chance to turn away from the things that eventually brought on their own destruction,

and they had ever reason to do it.

We've always had the option to turn away and seek the truth, righteousness, and common

sense that he has made available to all of us, both in our personal lives and as a country,

before we have to face the worst natural
