| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. Thanks for joining us on this Thursday. |
| 0:10.3 | Always love Thursdays getting your questions. Send those to radio at wallbuilders.com. |
| 0:14.8 | It's what we call Foundations of Freedom Thursday. And your questions get to drive the conversation. |
| 0:19.3 | Rick Green here with David Barton and Tim Barton. If you'd like to learn more about us and the program, a couple of websites to go to, wallbuilders. Show. That's our radio site. Of course, you can catch up on the programs for the last few weeks and months there and share them with your friends and family. That's a great way to engage in the debate out there over how we're going to rebuild liberty in our country is by simply sharing the wallbuilders program. It's a wonderful way to get people informed. So do that at wallbuilders.com. And then wallbuilders.com is where everything else wallbuilders can be found. And of course, when we say wall builders, we're literally rebuilding the walls. And we're laying the bricks. We're putting the right foundation back in place for the country. And if you want to be a part of all that, go to wallbuilders.com. A lot of great activities get involved in, send your pastors to our briefings that we do in D.C. or to send young people and teachers and everything to our summer programs. There's a lot of opportunities to get involved. And then, of course, just getting educated, self-governing first, |
| 1:11.2 | making sure that we know personally the principles of liberty, and we're doing that in our own |
| 1:15.8 | lives, that we know what biblical citizenship is. We know how to apply the Bible to our lives |
| 1:20.3 | as citizens, and then in our neighborhoods, our families, our churches, and throughout the country. |
| 1:25.0 | So all of that available at wallbuilders.com. And lastly, that's the |
| 1:29.4 | place to make a one-time or monthly contribution. We appreciate all of you out there that are |
| 1:33.7 | supporting us and helping to amplify this voice of reason out there, this voice of liberty, |
| 1:38.9 | this biblical voice. And so we appreciate that. Everything we do here, we look at it from a |
| 1:42.6 | biblical, constitutional, and historical perspective. And we're going to do that with your questions today. And that first question is coming from Janessa in Missouri. Only 22 years old. Janessa, thank you for being involved at a young age. She said, I'd like to start off by saying how much I love and appreciate y'all's show and the work you do as y'all help to preserve freedom. My question is this, what's your opinion on term limits, but mainly term limits for presidents? I've been having a discussion about this topic with some fellow patriots, and I think my mind may have recently been changed in favor of not having term limits on presidents, as long as there is still fair and free elections every four years. But there's still some things I'm not totally sure about, and I wanted to get y'all's thoughts on this. Any information or help that you could provide me with to understand if this lines up with our founding and what the founding fathers would have wanted would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Thank you, Janessa. I think we've had a lot of people ask about term limits, guys. I think she's the first one to ask specifically |
| 2:34.2 | about term limits for president, which of course is the 22nd Amendment when we finally |
| 2:39.6 | installed that after FDR got elected to a fourth term. So president specifically, would y'all |
| 2:45.0 | like for Bill Clinton to still be president 40 years in a row or 25 or 30 years, whatever? |
| 2:50.8 | I'll go back to say that this has always been a fun discussion. |
| 2:53.5 | You've always been wrong. |
| 2:54.4 | I've always been right on this. |
| 2:56.6 | It's real easy. |
| 2:58.8 | This is going to be good. |
| 2:59.8 | See, folks should come to Patriot Academy. |
| 3:01.4 | This is the one issue that the Bartons and the Greens get. |
