Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thanks for being here. We've been talking on my series XM show lately

about these tariffs, of course, and how if we want to see through this change, we need two things.

First, a clear vision of how bad things were. Otherwise, what's the point of changing?

Why go through this trouble? And we have to have a clear vision for the hope of where we can end up.

Otherwise, none of this is worth it. So I'm just going to go back to what I know. And yesterday we

shared the story of the Israelites. They forgot how bad it was to be a slave

in Egypt under Pharaoh. They forgot that God was with them the whole time protecting them,

delivering them, parting the sea for them, with them every morning with manna at night,

with fire, guiding the way. Goodness.

And they didn't trust God to lead them into the promised land.

They lost sight of how good it was going to be in the land of milk and honey.

I think the same principle here, same outline.

We can't forget that what we had in our economy wasn't working for the people in the country. And if we kept going down the road, it was going to lead us off a cliff. And we have to have a

clear vision of what good can come from staying the course. By the way, someone sent me this song.

It's by Keith Green.

I don't know legally how much I can play

of someone's song on a radio here,

but on a podcast,

but here's just a little bit of it.

Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. So you want to go back to Egypt where it's warm and secure.

Are you sorry about the one way ticket when you thought you were sure?

You want to deliver the land a promise
