Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody

asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it

triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know

that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.

We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.

You're doing a great job.

We've got several hundred reviews so far, but we like to reach a thousand reviews by the end

of this year, the year of our Lord 2024.

If you haven't left a review yet, take a moment

and help us achieve our goal. Since the Reagan era, even so-called conservatives have

euphorically championed the idea that anyone, absolutely anyone, can become American. In practice, this means that America

amounts to little more than a set of civic convictions and ethical principles that almost

anyone can agree to. This view of a nation is almost completely absent to Scripture, world history, and the founding

fathers. Nations are composed of a distinct people, occupying a distinct place, and assimilation

is not merely a matter of intellectual assent and enjoying apple pie. Tune in now as we discuss what is a nation.

Last speech that I will give as president, I think it's fitting to leave one final thought,

an observation about a country which I love.

It was stated best in a letter I received not long ago.

A man wrote me and said, you can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman.

You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a Germanman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan,

but you cannot become a German, a Turk or Japanese. But anyone from any corner of the earth

can come to live in America and become an American.
