I'm John Carter in Moscow...
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
Now in Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.67
I'm John Carter in Petra...
00:00:04.70\00:00:06.47
Reporting from India...
00:00:06.50\00:00:08.50
In Columbia.
00:00:08.54\00:00:09.87
I'm John Carter.
00:00:09.90\00:00:11.24
Today on the Carter Report,
00:00:11.27\00:00:13.64
John Carter talks about
00:00:13.68\00:00:15.01
how to make
America really great again.
00:00:15.04\00:00:18.18
I'm so glad to
welcome you here today.
00:00:21.35\00:00:25.89
And especially glad
to welcome you viewers,
00:00:25.92\00:00:28.49
not only on 3ABN
00:00:28.52\00:00:30.03
because it goes
right around the globe,
00:00:30.06\00:00:32.33
but our viewers on
Fox in Washington DC.
00:00:32.36\00:00:36.97
The topic is a red-hot one.
00:00:37.00\00:00:39.40
There it is, how to
make America great again?
00:00:39.43\00:00:42.64
But how to make America really,
really, and truly great again?
00:00:42.67\00:00:48.91
I'm going to start with
the text out of the Bible,
00:00:48.94\00:00:51.31
and I'd like you to
take your Bible please
00:00:51.35\00:00:53.31
in the studio here today
because you all got Bibles.
00:00:53.35\00:00:56.22
What a great TV
audience you are.
00:00:56.25\00:00:58.12
So thank you for coming.
00:00:58.15\00:00:59.55
I want you to
come with me over here
00:00:59.59\00:01:00.99
to the Book of Proverbs 14:34.
00:01:01.02\00:01:07.26
Proverbs 14:34,
00:01:07.30\00:01:11.30
the wisest man
00:01:11.33\00:01:12.67
who has ever
lived said these words,
00:01:12.70\00:01:14.80
"Righteousness exalts a nation,
00:01:14.84\00:01:18.94
but sin is a
reproach to any people."
00:01:18.97\00:01:25.01
What on earth does that mean?
00:01:25.05\00:01:26.38
"Righteousness exalts nation."
00:01:26.41\00:01:28.48
It means the goodness of God,
00:01:28.52\00:01:31.59
the goodness of
God working inside us
00:01:31.62\00:01:34.42
makes a nation great,
00:01:34.46\00:01:36.32
but sin pulls the nation
down to the gates of hell.
00:01:36.36\00:01:40.80
It means this that
if you obey God's laws,
00:01:40.83\00:01:45.57
you will be blessed,
00:01:45.60\00:01:47.24
you will be the
head and not the tail.
00:01:47.27\00:01:53.51
Let me mention the
great contradiction
00:01:53.54\00:01:55.24
as far as I see it.
00:01:55.28\00:01:57.35
I believe in making
America truly great again,
00:01:57.38\00:02:01.45
but I believe that
America is already great.
00:02:01.48\00:02:05.35
I believe that
America is a great country.
00:02:05.39\00:02:08.36
Why do people come to America?
00:02:08.39\00:02:12.16
My daughter Julie
works up in the Bay area,
00:02:12.19\00:02:15.76
and she's working
now with some refugees
00:02:15.80\00:02:18.73
and they've come
from Afghanistan.
00:02:18.77\00:02:21.70
And they're just
a beautiful family
00:02:21.74\00:02:24.41
that arrived here.
00:02:24.44\00:02:26.21
They've got nothing,
00:02:26.24\00:02:27.58
but it's not
going to stay that way.
00:02:27.61\00:02:29.71
And so we're giving them
just a little bit of help,
00:02:29.74\00:02:33.01
but people come here
00:02:33.05\00:02:34.52
because it's better
here than in most places.
00:02:34.55\00:02:39.32
Emma Lazarus,
have you heard of her?
00:02:39.35\00:02:42.29
Emma Lazarus.
00:02:42.32\00:02:43.66
She said these words,
00:02:43.69\00:02:45.03
"Give me your tired, your poor,
00:02:45.06\00:02:48.50
your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free.
00:02:48.53\00:02:53.90
The refuge refuse
of your teeming shore.
00:02:53.94\00:02:58.57
Send these the homeless,
00:02:58.61\00:03:01.24
tempest tossed to me:
00:03:01.28\00:03:03.85
I lift my lamp
beside the golden door."
00:03:03.88\00:03:09.05
Isn't that tremendous words?
00:03:09.08\00:03:11.45
That to me sort of sums up
00:03:11.49\00:03:12.82
what America has been
00:03:12.85\00:03:14.22
about written by
Emma Lazarus in 1883.
00:03:14.26\00:03:19.76
She was a Jewish lady,
00:03:19.79\00:03:22.56
and as you all know the Jews
00:03:22.60\00:03:23.97
have made a
tremendous contribution
00:03:24.00\00:03:26.80
to the United States of America.
00:03:26.84\00:03:28.90
Some of my best
friends are Jews.
00:03:28.94\00:03:31.17
I love the Jewish people.
00:03:31.21\00:03:33.68
America for many years
00:03:33.71\00:03:35.04
has been a beacon
of hope to the world.
00:03:35.08\00:03:39.85
John McCain went out a
few months ago to Australia
00:03:39.88\00:03:43.22
and spoke to the parliament
and he said these words,
00:03:43.25\00:03:46.15
I'm a bit of a fan
also of John McCain.
00:03:46.19\00:03:48.96
Great American, great patriot,
he said, "Don't give up on us.
00:03:48.99\00:03:55.16
He said we are going
through a very difficult,
00:03:55.20\00:03:59.47
very divisive time."
00:03:59.50\00:04:00.94
But he said, "We
have fought together,
00:04:00.97\00:04:03.41
the Australians and
the Americans have fought
00:04:03.44\00:04:05.84
and bled together in every
war in the last 100 years."
00:04:05.87\00:04:09.91
No other country can say that.
00:04:09.94\00:04:11.91
So he said to the Australians,
"Don't give up on us."
00:04:11.95\00:04:17.49
You know, the
Declaration of Independence,
00:04:17.52\00:04:19.45
it's a good reason
not to give up on America.
00:04:19.49\00:04:22.72
The Declaration of Independence,
00:04:22.76\00:04:24.43
"We hold these
truths to be self-evident
00:04:24.46\00:04:29.20
that all men are created equal.
00:04:29.23\00:04:34.47
They are
endowed by their Creator
00:04:34.50\00:04:37.44
with certain unalienable rights,
00:04:37.47\00:04:40.24
among these are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness."
00:04:40.28\00:04:46.11
Pretty good stuff, isn't it?
00:04:46.15\00:04:48.72
So every person has made...
00:04:48.75\00:04:50.65
This wonderful declaration says,
00:04:50.69\00:04:53.05
"Made by God and
given certain gifts."
00:04:53.09\00:04:57.09
I believe this, that
was said of course in 1776.
00:04:57.13\00:05:00.66
I believe that you can achieve
and accomplish more in America
00:05:00.70\00:05:04.83
than most other countries.
00:05:04.87\00:05:08.07
And I have visited
most other countries,
00:05:08.10\00:05:11.34
all things being equal.
00:05:11.37\00:05:14.61
I love the words
00:05:14.64\00:05:15.98
of the great
president of the United States
00:05:16.01\00:05:18.71
that shot down in the
flower of manhood, John Kennedy.
00:05:18.75\00:05:24.79
I want you to listen now
00:05:24.82\00:05:26.72
to the words of
President Kennedy
00:05:26.76\00:05:30.33
that he spoke in Houston.
00:05:30.36\00:05:34.83
But why, some say, the moon?
00:05:34.86\00:05:37.63
Why choose this as our goal?
00:05:37.67\00:05:40.57
And they may well ask why
climb the highest mountain?
00:05:40.60\00:05:45.04
Why, 35 years
ago, fly the Atlantic?
00:05:45.07\00:05:49.04
Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon.
00:05:49.08\00:05:53.98
We choose to go to the moon.
00:05:54.02\00:05:55.72
We choose to go to
the moon in this decade
00:06:01.79\00:06:04.73
and do the other things,
not because they are easy,
00:06:04.76\00:06:08.13
but because they are hard,
00:06:08.16\00:06:10.40
because that goal
00:06:10.43\00:06:12.40
will serve to
organize and measure the best
00:06:12.43\00:06:15.74
of our energies and skills,
00:06:15.77\00:06:17.81
because that challenge is one
that we're willing to accept,
00:06:17.84\00:06:21.88
one we are
unwilling to postpone,
00:06:21.91\00:06:24.61
and one which we intend
to win, and the others too.
00:06:24.65\00:06:30.02
And so American said,
00:06:30.05\00:06:33.09
"We don't do it
because it's easy,
00:06:33.12\00:06:35.36
we do it and we
achieve it, we accomplish it."
00:06:35.39\00:06:38.43
Why? Because it's hard.
00:06:38.46\00:06:40.90
On another occasion he said,
00:06:40.93\00:06:42.83
some people ask
the question, "Why."
00:06:42.86\00:06:46.17
But as Americans we don't
ask, "Why we ask, why not?
00:06:46.20\00:06:51.17
Why not."
00:06:51.21\00:06:52.81
Some tremendous events
have taken place in America,
00:06:52.84\00:06:55.34
I can't begin to
enumerate them today.
00:06:55.38\00:06:59.95
But something
that is precious to me
00:06:59.98\00:07:02.12
was the rise of the
great Second Advent Movement.
00:07:02.15\00:07:05.09
This was a part of
the great awakening,
00:07:05.12\00:07:08.76
led by William Miller,
00:07:08.79\00:07:10.79
who was a Baptist
00:07:10.83\00:07:12.46
who taught the coming of Christ.
00:07:12.49\00:07:14.13
This moved vast
numbers of people.
00:07:14.16\00:07:16.40
It started here in America.
00:07:16.43\00:07:19.90
I wonder, why did
it start in America?
00:07:19.93\00:07:24.04
It started here in America
00:07:24.07\00:07:26.27
because this
was a fertile field.
00:07:26.31\00:07:30.55
People were not saying, "Why."
They were saying, "Why not?"
00:07:30.58\00:07:35.68
One of my dear
friends is Danny Shelton,
00:07:35.72\00:07:37.69
he comes from Southern Illinois.
00:07:37.72\00:07:40.36
A little over 30 years
ago, Danny was a carpenter,
00:07:40.39\00:07:46.53
but he had a
vision and he had a dream
00:07:46.56\00:07:49.03
that God was calling him
00:07:49.06\00:07:50.40
to set up a
worldwide satellite network
00:07:50.43\00:07:53.87
and reach the world
with the gospel of Christ.
00:07:53.90\00:07:57.17
Most people, most countries
would have said, "Why?"
00:07:57.21\00:08:01.44
Danny said, "Why
not?" Happened in America.
00:08:01.48\00:08:06.61
And then with the Carter Report,
00:08:06.65\00:08:08.88
3ABN moved to Russia and
this was quite astounding,
00:08:08.92\00:08:13.56
this is one of
the great buildings
00:08:13.59\00:08:15.92
owned by 3ABN in Russia.
00:08:15.96\00:08:19.26
Did you know
00:08:19.29\00:08:20.63
it is the largest Protestant
building in all of Russia?
00:08:20.66\00:08:25.93
And it came from
here, it came from here,
00:08:25.97\00:08:28.87
and it came from here
because people said not why,
00:08:28.90\00:08:32.74
but why not.
00:08:32.77\00:08:35.48
Let me give a
personal testimony.
00:08:35.51\00:08:38.31
I've lived in America
00:08:38.35\00:08:39.68
for a little more than 30 years,
00:08:39.71\00:08:41.12
born in Australia,
00:08:41.15\00:08:42.48
got two passports Australian
and American passport.
00:08:42.52\00:08:46.12
So I'm a hybrid.
00:08:46.15\00:08:48.09
But I have found that
America has been good,
00:08:48.12\00:08:51.16
good to the gospel,
good to the Carter Report,
00:08:51.19\00:08:54.96
good to this ministry
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.33
that has gone
into all of the world.
00:08:56.36\00:08:57.70
We've been to
Russia about 50 times now,
00:08:57.73\00:09:00.30
and it started,
00:09:00.34\00:09:01.67
and we were able to
do it from a base here.
00:09:01.70\00:09:04.24
I believe that the
dream still lives on.
00:09:04.27\00:09:08.14
So America has been great
and I say America is great,
00:09:08.18\00:09:14.48
but there is room
to become greater.
00:09:14.52\00:09:18.69
Hear this?
00:09:18.72\00:09:20.06
America in recent years,
00:09:20.09\00:09:21.42
it seems to me has
been losing the vision
00:09:21.46\00:09:25.13
that Ronald Reagan spoke
00:09:25.16\00:09:26.59
about the vision of the
bright shining city on the hill.
00:09:26.63\00:09:30.97
And I'm afraid
that in recent years
00:09:31.00\00:09:35.87
the light over
America has been getting dim.
00:09:35.90\00:09:42.54
There's room, there's room.
00:09:42.58\00:09:45.88
Would you please look
at Proverbs 14:34 again,
00:09:45.91\00:09:48.45
Proverbs...
00:09:48.48\00:09:49.82
Take your Bible, Proverbs 14:34,
00:09:49.85\00:09:53.46
"Righteousness exalts a nation,
00:09:53.49\00:09:57.16
but sin is a
reproach to any people."
00:09:57.19\00:10:00.80
Righteousness, the
goodness, the goodness of God,
00:10:00.83\00:10:04.63
the power of
God, the mercy of God,
00:10:04.67\00:10:07.04
but if sin takes over,
the nation goes to hell.
00:10:07.07\00:10:12.21
I want you to realize this
00:10:12.24\00:10:13.58
because the
politicians are not saying this,
00:10:13.61\00:10:17.15
true greatness is
synonymous with true goodness
00:10:17.18\00:10:22.42
and you can't become
great unless you're good.
00:10:22.45\00:10:26.96
We're going to notice today
00:10:26.99\00:10:28.32
the aspects of
the righteousness,
00:10:28.36\00:10:30.36
that goodness
00:10:30.39\00:10:31.73
that makes a
nation like America great.
00:10:31.76\00:10:36.13
These aspects of righteousness
that make people great.
00:10:36.16\00:10:40.40
Number one, here it is.
00:10:40.44\00:10:44.37
Wholehearted acceptance of
those Judeo-Christian values
00:10:44.41\00:10:49.11
on which America was built.
00:10:49.14\00:10:51.71
Make no mistake,
00:10:51.75\00:10:53.68
this nation originally
was based upon the Holy Bible
00:10:53.72\00:10:59.55
and I don't care
what the skeptics say.
00:10:59.59\00:11:03.93
The father of the nation
said, "He was not a perfect man,
00:11:03.96\00:11:08.16
there are no perfect people."
00:11:08.20\00:11:10.10
Washington said,
00:11:10.13\00:11:11.47
"It is impossible to
rightly govern a nation
00:11:11.50\00:11:15.00
without God and the Bible."
00:11:15.04\00:11:18.74
That's what he said.
00:11:18.77\00:11:20.11
I hear people telling me,
00:11:20.14\00:11:21.48
"No, no, no, this
nation was founded,
00:11:21.51\00:11:22.94
it just is an
atheistic secular nation."
00:11:22.98\00:11:25.78
That is not true.
00:11:25.81\00:11:28.38
I'm going to tell you
how to destroy America
00:11:28.42\00:11:31.79
because some people seem
to want to destroy America.
00:11:31.82\00:11:35.79
Get rid of God and the Bible.
Get rid of God and the Bible.
00:11:35.82\00:11:40.13
Many, not all,
00:11:40.16\00:11:41.63
but many in
Hollywood and in the media,
00:11:41.66\00:11:44.17
not all the media
00:11:44.20\00:11:46.67
but many have been waging war
00:11:46.70\00:11:49.07
on Judeo-Christian values.
00:11:49.10\00:11:50.74
Have you noticed
it? You know it's true.
00:11:50.77\00:11:52.97
We've come a long
way from the Waltons.
00:11:53.01\00:11:56.28
People laugh about it.
00:11:56.31\00:11:57.71
Who wants to be
like the Waltons?
00:11:57.75\00:12:00.68
A lot of people do still,
00:12:00.72\00:12:02.38
come a long way from The Waltons
00:12:02.42\00:12:03.85
in the Little
House on the Prairie.
00:12:03.89\00:12:05.85
Today from Hollywood every sin
00:12:05.89\00:12:09.79
and perversion is glorified.
00:12:09.82\00:12:13.60
There was a time when
almost all went to church
00:12:13.63\00:12:15.73
and believed in
the Ten Commandments,
00:12:15.76\00:12:17.10
you know, it's true.
00:12:17.13\00:12:18.50
Today the nation is gripped
00:12:18.53\00:12:20.44
by a drug
epidemic, you know, why?
00:12:20.47\00:12:23.81
It's a symptom of our despair.
00:12:23.84\00:12:26.37
We get rid of God,
when the big God goes out,
00:12:26.41\00:12:29.44
all the little gods come in.
00:12:29.48\00:12:32.15
Now there was a time
00:12:32.18\00:12:33.98
as my friend Danny
Shelton pointed out,
00:12:34.02\00:12:36.35
when there were great
evangelistic crusades run
00:12:36.38\00:12:40.49
by great people
like Billy Graham.
00:12:40.52\00:12:45.83
That was when
America was truly great,
00:12:45.86\00:12:48.36
when people went to church,
when family stayed together,
00:12:48.40\00:12:53.23
and people worshiped
God, they went to church.
00:12:53.27\00:12:57.81
But there has been
a war on the gospel
00:12:57.84\00:13:01.84
and a war on evangelism
00:13:01.88\00:13:05.31
not only led by
the secular people
00:13:05.35\00:13:07.88
but people in the church.
00:13:07.92\00:13:10.99
And today,
00:13:11.02\00:13:13.19
in many places
the church too often
00:13:13.22\00:13:17.43
is a whispering hope.
00:13:17.46\00:13:21.93
Let me talk about
great Judeo-Christian truths
00:13:21.96\00:13:24.53
that I believe are fundamental.
00:13:24.57\00:13:27.70
We are made by a loving creator
who made us in His image,
00:13:27.74\00:13:31.81
Genesis 1:1, 26-27.
00:13:31.84\00:13:34.54
Wants you to get your Bibles
00:13:34.58\00:13:36.18
and look at Genesis
1:1, 26 and onwards,
00:13:36.21\00:13:41.92
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.
00:13:41.95\00:13:44.79
Then God said, "Let
Us make man in Our image,
00:13:44.82\00:13:47.19
according to our likeness,
00:13:47.22\00:13:48.59
let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea,
00:13:48.62\00:13:50.79
over the birds of the air,
00:13:50.83\00:13:52.16
and over the cattle,
00:13:52.19\00:13:53.53
over all the earth and
over every creeping thing
00:13:53.56\00:13:55.46
that creeps on the earth."
00:13:55.50\00:13:56.83
So God created
man in His own image,
00:13:56.87\00:14:00.14
in the image of
God He created him,
00:14:00.17\00:14:02.17
male and female
He created them."
00:14:02.20\00:14:04.81
I did not come
down from the trees,
00:14:04.84\00:14:07.61
I came down from the stars.
00:14:07.64\00:14:10.08
The Bible teaches
00:14:10.11\00:14:11.45
that we were made
in the image of God
00:14:11.48\00:14:14.45
and therefore every
person is important.
00:14:14.48\00:14:20.22
Look again, my American friends,
00:14:20.26\00:14:21.99
my Australian friends,
00:14:22.02\00:14:23.36
everybody
watching around the world,
00:14:23.39\00:14:24.76
look at the Declaration
of Independence again.
00:14:24.79\00:14:27.36
I want you to notice it,
00:14:27.40\00:14:28.73
"We hold these
truths to be self-evident."
00:14:28.76\00:14:32.37
It means, it is so plain
00:14:32.40\00:14:33.90
you've got to
be absolutely crazy
00:14:33.94\00:14:35.70
not to believe it.
00:14:35.74\00:14:37.07
"We hold these
truths to be self-evident
00:14:37.11\00:14:39.07
that all men are created equal
00:14:39.11\00:14:41.24
that they are
endowed by their creator
00:14:41.28\00:14:43.68
with certain unalienable rights
00:14:43.71\00:14:46.92
that among these
are life, liberty,
00:14:46.95\00:14:49.48
and the pursuit of happiness."
00:14:49.52\00:14:51.89
America is
founded upon belief in God
00:14:51.92\00:14:57.13
and belief in the Bible.
00:14:57.16\00:15:02.83
That's what made America great.
00:15:02.86\00:15:05.13
Atheism is the
brain of the human race
00:15:05.17\00:15:08.20
and is responsible
00:15:08.24\00:15:09.57
for the deaths
of tens of millions.
00:15:09.60\00:15:11.61
I've been to
Russia almost 50 times.
00:15:11.64\00:15:14.21
I've seen what
Stalin and Lenin did.
00:15:14.24\00:15:17.48
I've been to the cemeteries
00:15:17.51\00:15:19.85
where tens of
millions of people were killed
00:15:19.88\00:15:23.49
because they were
taught, "You are an animal.
00:15:23.52\00:15:25.62
You're just a machine.
00:15:25.65\00:15:26.99
You're something nothing."
00:15:27.02\00:15:28.69
I've been to Ukraine,
00:15:28.72\00:15:30.06
I've spoken in the
biggest theater in Ukraine
00:15:30.09\00:15:32.99
with a tremendous crowd.
00:15:33.03\00:15:34.36
After my talk,
00:15:34.40\00:15:35.73
they took me
down into the basement
00:15:35.76\00:15:37.73
of that great auditorium,
00:15:37.77\00:15:39.47
and they showed me
00:15:39.50\00:15:40.84
where people by the
thousands were tortured,
00:15:40.87\00:15:45.14
and their blood ran
out of the stonework.
00:15:45.17\00:15:47.98
Their blood came
out of the stone.
00:15:48.01\00:15:50.75
I've been outside
Ukraine to a great forest.
00:15:50.78\00:15:55.72
I've seen the pictures
00:15:55.75\00:15:57.39
that have been
put up on the trees.
00:15:57.42\00:15:59.95
I've seen the crosses
00:15:59.99\00:16:01.79
where the communists
took innocent people,
00:16:01.82\00:16:04.76
and took them out
there, and shot them to death,
00:16:04.79\00:16:07.26
they died by the millions.
00:16:07.30\00:16:10.57
And people say,
"We don't need God."
00:16:10.60\00:16:12.33
I've been to
Siberia so many times,
00:16:15.77\00:16:19.54
one of the most
beautiful countries
00:16:19.57\00:16:20.98
in the world.
00:16:21.01\00:16:22.64
In Siberia,
00:16:22.68\00:16:24.38
there are
10,000 graves of people
00:16:24.41\00:16:27.28
who were murdered.
00:16:27.32\00:16:28.85
Ever heard of Magadan?
00:16:28.88\00:16:30.35
One of the biggest problems
we have today in America
00:16:30.39\00:16:32.49
particularly with young people
00:16:32.52\00:16:34.72
is that the
educational system is so bad
00:16:34.76\00:16:37.53
that they don't even
know anything about history.
00:16:37.56\00:16:39.89
You know, it's true,
00:16:39.93\00:16:41.26
we've got one of the
worst educational systems
00:16:41.30\00:16:42.80
in the world today and
we're breeding dumbness.
00:16:42.83\00:16:46.57
Magadan, where so
many thousands have died,
00:16:46.60\00:16:50.61
it's so freezing cold.
00:16:50.64\00:16:52.77
The atheist paves the
roads with human bone.
00:16:52.81\00:16:58.01
Never heard of it?
00:16:58.05\00:16:59.38
Go Google it.
00:16:59.41\00:17:00.75
Magadan, and see
if you want that.
00:17:00.78\00:17:04.22
They were taught
you're an animal,
00:17:04.25\00:17:06.15
you're machine.
00:17:06.19\00:17:07.52
When I went to Russia and
I had preached cumulatively
00:17:07.56\00:17:10.13
to millions of
communists and atheists.
00:17:10.16\00:17:13.36
I've probably spoken
to more secular people
00:17:13.40\00:17:15.56
than any other person
on the face of the planet,
00:17:15.60\00:17:17.50
face to face.
00:17:17.53\00:17:18.87
And I told them this,
"You are not an animal.
00:17:18.90\00:17:21.60
You are not a machine.
00:17:21.64\00:17:23.07
You are a child of God."
00:17:23.10\00:17:25.44
Want you to know that.
00:17:25.47\00:17:28.21
So America was not based
upon atheism or secularism.
00:17:28.24\00:17:31.68
It was based upon the
truth, you are a child of God.
00:17:31.71\00:17:35.28
I was there, I saw these things.
00:17:35.32\00:17:37.75
Time is not
enough to tell a Pol Pot.
00:17:37.79\00:17:40.86
Young people,
00:17:40.89\00:17:42.22
you don't even know who he was,
00:17:42.26\00:17:43.59
then go and Google it.
00:17:43.63\00:17:44.96
Ask your teacher,
maybe a teacher will know.
00:17:44.99\00:17:47.40
What about Mao
Zedong? What about Castro?
00:17:47.43\00:17:50.37
We all know about
Kim in North Korea.
00:17:50.40\00:17:52.40
Another greater
atheist, Hitler was a God hater.
00:17:52.43\00:17:57.24
And they put to death
people not by the thousands
00:17:57.27\00:17:59.97
but by the tens of millions,
more than a 100 million.
00:18:00.01\00:18:04.45
There are 1,000 good
reasons to believe in God
00:18:04.48\00:18:07.28
and not one good
reason not to believe
00:18:07.32\00:18:09.88
and I know what
I'm talking about.
00:18:09.92\00:18:11.75
We need to return to
the God of our fathers.
00:18:11.79\00:18:16.42
Oh, true greatness is
synonymous with goodness,
00:18:16.46\00:18:20.60
and goodness comes from God.
00:18:20.63\00:18:22.90
It is a vain hope to
make America great again
00:18:22.93\00:18:26.60
until you make
America good again.
00:18:26.63\00:18:29.24
We are facing today
not only a financial crisis
00:18:29.27\00:18:32.44
with our
history, with a parallel
00:18:32.47\00:18:35.01
in the history of the human race
00:18:35.04\00:18:36.51
but we are facing
with that parallel,
00:18:36.54\00:18:38.85
a crisis in morality.
00:18:38.88\00:18:41.48
We need to have a
wholehearted acceptance
00:18:45.55\00:18:47.96
of the Judeo-Christian
truth that racism is wrong.
00:18:47.99\00:18:53.53
Aspects of righteousness,
00:18:53.56\00:18:55.30
this goodness,
number two, racism is wrong.
00:18:55.33\00:18:59.40
I want you to take your
Bible and come over here
00:18:59.43\00:19:01.27
to John 4:3-13,
00:19:01.30\00:19:06.34
Jesus was the antiracist,
00:19:06.37\00:19:10.11
"He left Judea and
departed again to Galilee.
00:19:10.15\00:19:12.85
But He needed to
go through Samaria.
00:19:12.88\00:19:14.68
So He came to a city of
Samaria which is called Sychar,
00:19:14.72\00:19:18.12
near the plot of ground that
Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
00:19:18.15\00:19:21.89
Now Jacob's well was there.
00:19:21.92\00:19:23.29
Jesus therefore, being
wearied from His journey,
00:19:23.32\00:19:26.39
sat thus by the well.
00:19:26.43\00:19:27.83
It was about the
sixth hour, noon time.
00:19:27.86\00:19:30.47
A woman of Samaria
came to draw water.
00:19:30.50\00:19:32.33
Jesus said to
her, "Give Me a drink."
00:19:32.37\00:19:34.24
For His disciples had gone
away into the city to buy food.
00:19:34.27\00:19:37.41
Then the woman of
Samaria said to Him,
00:19:37.44\00:19:39.81
"How is it that
You, being a Jew,
00:19:39.84\00:19:42.14
ask a drink from
me, a Samaritan woman?"
00:19:42.18\00:19:44.91
For Jews have no
dealings with Samaritans.
00:19:44.95\00:19:48.35
Jesus answered and said to her,
"If you knew the gift of God,
00:19:48.38\00:19:52.12
and who it is who says
to you, 'Give Me a drink,'
00:19:52.15\00:19:54.32
you would have asked Him,
00:19:54.36\00:19:55.72
and He would have
given you living water."
00:19:55.76\00:19:58.33
The woman said to Him, 'Sir,
You have nothing to draw with,
00:19:58.36\00:20:01.60
and the well is deep.
00:20:01.63\00:20:03.03
Where then do You
get that living water?
00:20:03.06\00:20:06.67
Are You greater
than our father Jacob,
00:20:06.70\00:20:08.60
who gave us the well,
and drank from it himself,
00:20:08.64\00:20:12.01
as well as his
sons and his livestock?"
00:20:12.04\00:20:14.11
Jesus answered and said to her,
00:20:14.14\00:20:16.04
'Whoever drinks of this
water will thirst again.'"
00:20:16.08\00:20:19.11
But he went on to say,
"If you drink from my water
00:20:19.15\00:20:21.75
you'll never be thirsty."
00:20:21.78\00:20:23.49
But here is Jesus, a
Jew talking to a race
00:20:23.52\00:20:29.02
that the Jews at
that time despised.
00:20:29.06\00:20:34.73
I want you to know that
00:20:34.76\00:20:36.23
Jesus embraced
people of every race.
00:20:36.26\00:20:41.67
Racism is antichristian.
00:20:41.70\00:20:46.78
You know why? We're
all made in His image?
00:20:46.81\00:20:49.84
Black man, white
man, brown man, China man,
00:20:49.88\00:20:52.51
all made in His image.
00:20:52.55\00:20:55.02
We must repudiate
absolutely without reservation
00:20:55.05\00:20:58.29
all forms of racism.
00:20:58.32\00:21:01.76
The Neo-Nazis,
00:21:01.79\00:21:04.73
the white supremacists,
00:21:04.76\00:21:07.20
the Ku Klux Klan,
00:21:07.23\00:21:10.40
all forms of
racism including tribalism
00:21:10.43\00:21:13.57
such as was practiced in Rwanda
00:21:13.60\00:21:17.64
when even black people
killed other black people
00:21:17.67\00:21:20.41
because they belong
to a different tribe.
00:21:20.44\00:21:23.55
We must
repudiate the caste system,
00:21:23.58\00:21:26.45
which is practiced in India
00:21:26.48\00:21:28.52
where hundreds of millions
of people are kept in darkness,
00:21:28.55\00:21:34.72
poverty, and
slavery, and humiliation.
00:21:34.76\00:21:38.86
The caste system, it is evil.
00:21:38.89\00:21:44.73
You see the heart
of man must be renewed,
00:21:44.77\00:21:46.90
whether it's a white heart,
a black heart doesn't matter.
00:21:46.94\00:21:50.04
We're all the same inside.
00:21:50.07\00:21:51.97
Jesus in John 3 said,
"You've got to be born again."
00:21:52.01\00:21:57.78
It's too much
talk about religion
00:21:57.81\00:21:59.55
not enough of the
Spirit of God in our hearts.
00:21:59.58\00:22:03.18
And when a person is born again,
00:22:03.22\00:22:05.45
he's not going to be
born again as a racist.
00:22:05.49\00:22:10.66
Racism is wrong.
00:22:10.69\00:22:14.10
You hear what I'm saying?
00:22:14.13\00:22:15.76
We repudiate it.
00:22:15.80\00:22:18.47
Do you want a greater
America, a better America,
00:22:18.50\00:22:21.70
then embrace the
biblical work ethic
00:22:21.74\00:22:25.54
that was
embraced by the Puritans?
00:22:25.57\00:22:28.68
Gonna look at Proverbs 24:30-34.
00:22:28.71\00:22:31.91
Gonna take our Bibles, turn to
the Book of Proverbs 24:30-34,
00:22:31.95\00:22:38.72
"I went by the
field of the lazy man,
00:22:38.75\00:22:42.89
and by the vineyard of the
man devoid of understanding.
00:22:42.92\00:22:45.56
And there it was, all
overgrown with thorns.
00:22:45.59\00:22:48.36
Its surface was
covered with nettles,
00:22:48.40\00:22:50.93
the stone wall broken down.
00:22:50.97\00:22:52.63
When I saw it, I
considered it well,
00:22:52.67\00:22:54.97
I looked on it and
received instruction:
00:22:55.00\00:22:58.21
A little sleep,
a little slumber,
00:22:58.24\00:23:01.34
a little folding
of the hands to rest,
00:23:01.38\00:23:03.51
so shall your
poverty come like a prowler,
00:23:03.55\00:23:06.28
and your need
like an armed man."
00:23:06.31\00:23:08.65
The Bible, listen,
is opposed to laziness.
00:23:08.68\00:23:15.36
And the early
Americans were anything but lazy
00:23:15.39\00:23:18.56
when you had to work.
00:23:18.59\00:23:20.03
Look at 2 Thessalonians,
turn over now in your Bible
00:23:20.06\00:23:22.33
to 2 Thessalonians 3:10-11,
00:23:22.36\00:23:29.07
"For even when we were with you,
00:23:29.10\00:23:32.04
we commanded you this,
if anyone will not work,
00:23:32.07\00:23:36.01
doesn't say cannot work,
00:23:36.04\00:23:37.91
if anyone will not
work, neither shall he eat.
00:23:37.95\00:23:44.55
For we hear that there
are some who walk among you
00:23:44.59\00:23:48.22
in a in a disorderly
manner, not working at all,
00:23:48.26\00:23:51.49
but are busy bodies."
00:23:51.53\00:23:55.20
It means their gossips.
00:23:55.23\00:23:57.90
I believe in the work
ethic of the pilgrim fathers
00:23:57.93\00:24:03.04
and the fathers of this
nation, and all who believe
00:24:03.07\00:24:06.44
that all kinds of work
if lawful was honorable.
00:24:06.47\00:24:10.08
Listen, I don't
believe in socialism,
00:24:10.11\00:24:12.18
I don't believe in communism.
00:24:12.21\00:24:14.22
I've been to Russia
in the winter of '91,
00:24:14.25\00:24:16.75
I went there to Moscow.
00:24:16.79\00:24:18.75
And a man came up
out of the vast crowd
00:24:18.79\00:24:21.19
and he said, "This is
the hell we have created."
00:24:21.22\00:24:24.93
I went to Nizhny
Novgorod a few months later,
00:24:24.96\00:24:28.33
it was nothing at
all in the stores.
00:24:28.36\00:24:31.60
In fact, they
weren't any stores, no bread.
00:24:31.63\00:24:35.77
I came upon a
man, a private man,
00:24:35.80\00:24:38.31
he had a big truck full of fish,
00:24:38.34\00:24:40.74
the people were starving
but no money to buy the fish.
00:24:40.78\00:24:45.15
We come from
America and we had money,
00:24:45.18\00:24:47.62
we bought the truck
and we bought the fish
00:24:47.65\00:24:50.05
and we fed the people.
00:24:50.09\00:24:52.15
You see, I do not
believe in a system
00:24:52.19\00:24:56.06
that is based on laziness.
00:24:56.09\00:24:58.86
In Russia they had the
saying, "We pretend to work
00:24:58.89\00:25:01.93
and they pretend to pay us."
00:25:01.96\00:25:04.70
There was a hotel
we watched for 10 years
00:25:04.73\00:25:06.87
being built it made no progress.
00:25:06.90\00:25:08.87
They get there at 9
o'clock, shake hands,
00:25:08.90\00:25:11.14
have a committee meeting,
shake hands and go home.
00:25:11.17\00:25:14.01
We pretend to work,
they pretend to pay us.
00:25:14.04\00:25:18.51
I'm going to tell you something,
00:25:18.55\00:25:20.42
I had an experience that
has done me a lot of good.
00:25:20.45\00:25:24.19
I left home when I was 16.
00:25:24.22\00:25:27.39
My parents didn't
have a lot of money
00:25:27.42\00:25:29.02
but they taught
me you gotta work.
00:25:29.06\00:25:31.36
I went to North Queensland
and I drove a bulldozer.
00:25:31.39\00:25:36.03
I couldn't even take a vacation,
00:25:36.06\00:25:38.40
a day off for seven years.
00:25:38.43\00:25:41.60
You say, that sort of slavery.
00:25:41.64\00:25:43.41
No, it was good for me.
00:25:43.44\00:25:46.61
It taught me
the great work ethic
00:25:46.64\00:25:49.01
that has built America.
00:25:49.04\00:25:52.35
And America was built by people
00:25:52.38\00:25:56.08
who were prepared to
work and to trust in God
00:25:56.12\00:26:01.09
and if we want to
make America great again,
00:26:01.12\00:26:04.26
we've got to get back
00:26:04.29\00:26:05.63
to what America
was in the beginning.
00:26:05.66\00:26:07.66
More after this
break, more in a moment.
00:26:07.70\00:26:10.77
In this series John
Carter will provide the answers
00:26:23.14\00:26:26.01
to life's most
interesting questions.
00:26:26.05\00:26:28.05
Seven great signs
of the apocalypse.
00:26:28.08\00:26:31.85
If the dead are unconscious,
00:26:31.89\00:26:34.06
who are the beings
that pretend to be the dead?
00:26:34.09\00:26:38.89
This is such a
person as the devil.
00:26:38.93\00:26:42.16
What is the
essence of antichrist?
00:26:45.33\00:26:47.27
What is the root cause
of this deadly malaise?
00:26:52.41\00:26:57.81
America was founded by
people who were opposed
00:26:57.85\00:27:02.05
to the union of
church and state,
00:27:02.08\00:27:05.69
but if there's
a God who loves us
00:27:05.72\00:27:07.72
then the future is
bright was promised.
