Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Hey there, folks.

Welcome to the program.

It's the Eric Metaxis show.

I'm playing the role of Eric Metax today. And I have a guest who's playing himself. Pastor Greg Locke. I don't know where to start with you. First of all, I love seeing you. I'm proud of the work you're doing in your church. I should mention that you're founding and lead pastor of Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, right outside Nashville.

You and I've connected it on a number of occasions. We're here mainly to talk about your new book,

but let's just talk about where we are as a nation right now. Because the last time you

were on this program, I think, was one day before the election, which we know is still being

audited today because there's some crazy people, conspiracy theorists and insurrectionists

like Eric Mataxis. I mean, the real Eric Mattaxas. I'm just playing that role.

Who believe that Lady Liberty was mugged.

Yes.

And something happened in America that's never happened before.

I think 80 million plus Americans feel the same way.

And it's a ghastly moment when you do not know that you had a real election where we, the people, chose the leader of the country. That's a creepy

thing to happen in history, in the history of this country. Absolutely. And I think more than

80 million at this point, because people are tired of it. This has been a fall down the steps nightmare. I just read the other day, somebody said, this is almost like being strapped to a chair watching a toddler play with a loaded pistol. You never know what's going to happen. And it's freaky. It really is. And so I think people are sick of it. I think if the election took place again today, there's so many Democrats that would jump ship and actually vote for Trump

because they see the debacle that we're in in this nation. I think you're right. I think, I mean, I always say that we have to really keep our heads because we're being gaslit by the left. They have the power. They control the media to the extent that most Americans think that half the people think that way.

And the fact of the matter is most Americans don't think that way.

You've got these, you know, really radical leftists who are putting forward a narrative.

And I would say for the first time in my lifetime, really sweeping the facts

under the rug when the facts don't suit the narrative. In a way, we've simply never seen anything
