Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture.

It's the Wall Builders show on a Thursday.

And, of course, Thursday's Foundations of Freedom Thursday,

which means we're looking for questions from you in the audience about constitution,

declaration, maybe what's going on politically, perhaps

theologically and application of, of course, the Bible to everything that's going on in

the culture.

So whatever you want to ask about, send it in to radio at wallbuilders.com.

I'm Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton and we'll get to as many questions as we can

And she's a Constitution coach.

You can tell that she has heard us talk about the filibuster and going all the way back

to Thomas Jefferson's rules. Yeah, good stuff. Good stuff. Go ahead, guys. Yeah. So when you look
