| 0:00.0 | I'm Thank you. Don't invite the Kool-Aid. |
| 0:31.1 | That's our show. |
| 0:32.1 | Don't invite the Kool-Aid and we invite you on a journey where we take a look at what's happening in our culture, and we examine things that may be Kool-Aid with two tests. |
| 0:41.3 | That is, two litmus tests we use to determine truths from lies, Kool-Aid that could damage you pretty severely versus the truth. |
| 0:50.3 | And the first litmus test, of course, is the Word of God itself. The Word of God, |
| 0:55.9 | what our founders call, the laws of nature and nature's God. The second litmus test is really the |
| 1:01.6 | founding documents of our constitutional republic. That's right. We are a republic, not a democracy. |
| 1:07.8 | I don't believe that lie. That's one of those coolades out there, but our founding documents, the Declaration |
| 1:12.6 | of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and then, of course, the subsequent |
| 1:16.6 | amendments. |
| 1:17.6 | And when we look at our culture of what's happening here today, we recognize that things are |
| 1:22.6 | going in not just a little bit off, but going way off the direction that our founders designed for us as a constitutional republic. |
| 1:30.5 | And particularly when we look at what's happening among the young, the younger generations have swallowed the Kool-Aid of Marxism by and large. |
| 1:39.9 | And the issue is, how can we reach that younger generation? How can we reach them with the truth of our founders, the truth of God's word, that there is a creator God, that our rights come from him and from him alone. And the only reason, the only purpose for human civil government, as our founder stated clearly in the Declaration of Independence, the reason for human civil government is to protect your God-given rights. |
| 2:03.8 | But we know that Marxism teaches exactly the opposite for every single one of those points I've just made. |
| 2:10.4 | In fact, it would teach that you have no rights except whatever the government chooses to give you as privileges or licenses and what they give, |
| 2:19.2 | they can surely just as quickly take away. So the big issue for us is how do we reach the next |
| 2:25.0 | generation with the truth of our founders, with the truth of God's word. And with me today |
| 2:30.8 | is Hal Shirtliff, the founder of Camp Constitution, the camp that I've been involved |
| 2:37.2 | with now for, I think it's been six years, Hal, is that? |
| 2:39.8 | Yeah, right. The Scandemic, I guess we called that, right? |
| 2:45.4 | That's right. |
