Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture.

Thanks for joining us on The Wall Builder Show.

I'm Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton, and we got Congressman Mullen are joining us a little later.

We're going to be talking about China.

And, of course, we're right here at the end of the year.

In fact, guys, this will be, wow, I just realized this is our last program of 2024.

And then we're going to roar into 2025.

I'm looking forward to the next year.

How about you guys?

Absolutely.

I think it's also interesting that President Carter recently passed away, which referring to him, looking back,

he was someone who was one of the older school kind of Democrats, someone who actually loved America,

someone who wanted America to be better, who just had terrible policies.

Objectively, right, you could say objectively, he was not a good president. And it's not

necessarily because he was a bad man who had bad intentions and motives because after he was president,

all the things he did. Was it Habitat for Humanity? I don't remember which organization he was

part of helping do incredible things around the world. But when you look at what happened

with the inflation, the energy crisis, the Iranian hostage deal, even when the Soviet Union is taken over land in Afghanistan. And so he wants to politically posture. And so he says that the Olympians can't go to Moscow because that's how we're going to show the Soviet Union they're wrong is by punishing American athletes. So many things that, especially from those in the outside

looking, we're going, man, why are we doing this? This doesn't make any sense that the guy who said,

well, we really should maybe just learn to live with less, you know, because we don't have the money.

If you don't have enough money for gas in your car, just ride a bike and

that's probably okay to, again, like just terrible policy decisions, but it's interesting.
