Welcome to the intersection of faith in culture.

This is The Wall Builders Show, taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical,

and constitutional perspective.

Rick Green here with Tim Barton.

David's not with us, but we are live at the Patriot Academy campus.

Tim just got here with Gabby and the girls got moved into the cottage.

They, of course, went shopping in Fredericksburg, which is what everybody does in Fredericksburg. I did not. No, no, they did. Yeah, the girls did. The girls did. You came here immediately went to work. You've been testifying in committee. What was up that you testified as Ronald Reagan? What was the bill? It was on BLM. If they have a right to all of the land west of

the Rockies, which they've claimed over 70% of it. And I generally don't encourage people to

identify as something else or how they want or feel. But I just- You were feeling the Reagan

vibe. Inspiration mode. I went Ronald Reagan. I liked it. You didn't try the impersonation, but you still channeled him well. So it was good. Okay, first, before we invite students up to ask questions, your impression of just the fact that we have almost 150 students here from across the nation, our largest Patriot Academy ever. and there's the legislative process, even in the debate as you were talking to them or as you

and everybody had on suit. And you were not as dressy, but then you had a button up and you had on

And I thought, well, you know what? We're going to have some people in the room.

A little bit of a response there.

And it was a big debate, and, you know, I had to step in as the Rick Tater and rule, you know, and say, I don't care what the people want. I want to be able to wear my cowboy hat. And so then I went and got my cowboy hat and came back. That's why I was dressed up. Well, I definitely appreciate that. But yeah, what you guys are doing here is incredible to see how many students are here learning some of the basic lift principles. Maybe later we can talk to some students about that. They can clarify for all of the listeners what the lift principles are. But getting the foundation back, I am excited tomorrow. I get to give some sessions with a student. And one of the things I'm
