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\00:00:04.73
I'm John Carter in Petra...
00:00:04.77\00:00:06.43
Reporting from India...
00:00:06.47\00:00:08.54
In Columbia.
00:00:08.57\00:00:09.90
I'm John Carter.
00:00:09.94\00:00:11.27
Today on the Carter Report,
00:00:11.31\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\00:00:21.82
Welcome back today.
00:00:21.85\00:00:23.18
Now, this is a pick up
from the previous program.
00:00:23.22\00:00:25.19
We're talking today about
00:00:25.22\00:00:26.62
how to make
America really great again.
00:00:26.65\00:00:31.93
In the previous segment,
00:00:31.96\00:00:33.29
I was talking about the
great American work ethic
00:00:33.33\00:00:35.80
that we believe in working hard,
00:00:35.83\00:00:38.63
we don't believe in socialism.
00:00:38.67\00:00:40.27
I was telling the story
00:00:40.30\00:00:41.64
how I left home
when I was a boy of 16,
00:00:41.67\00:00:43.37
went up into North Queensland
and I learned to work.
00:00:43.41\00:00:47.21
I was not suffering.
00:00:47.24\00:00:49.14
People say, "That was terrible,
00:00:49.18\00:00:50.51
you know, didn't
people come and help you."
00:00:50.55\00:00:51.91
Well, no, in those
days it wasn't expected.
00:00:51.95\00:00:55.82
You got what you
earned and I had to work hard.
00:00:55.85\00:01:00.06
I had a heritage though.
00:01:00.09\00:01:02.22
When Australia was...
00:01:02.26\00:01:04.93
What should I say
discovered by the Europeans
00:01:04.96\00:01:08.96
about 230 years ago.
00:01:09.00\00:01:10.80
The people who
came out to Australia,
00:01:10.83\00:01:13.64
those early Australians,
00:01:13.67\00:01:15.40
most of them came out
00:01:15.44\00:01:19.17
sort of third class.
00:01:19.21\00:01:21.91
You went to
prison or you were sent,
00:01:21.94\00:01:24.61
the antipodes of
the terrible punishment,
00:01:24.65\00:01:27.48
if you stole a loaf of bread
00:01:27.52\00:01:30.55
to look after
your grandchildren.
00:01:30.59\00:01:33.25
So those people got
out there with nothing,
00:01:33.29\00:01:36.96
dropped off in Sydney Cove.
00:01:36.99\00:01:39.59
There was nothing there
00:01:39.63\00:01:40.96
in the form of roads
or building, nothing,
00:01:41.00\00:01:43.40
just a wild continent.
00:01:43.43\00:01:46.13
But people came
out there with them
00:01:46.17\00:01:47.87
who were Anglican chaplains,
00:01:47.90\00:01:51.24
and they were not
00:01:51.27\00:01:52.61
what you'd call
evangelical preachers,
00:01:52.64\00:01:54.64
but they believed in prayer
00:01:54.68\00:01:57.05
and they taught the convicts
that they needed to pray,
00:01:57.08\00:02:01.25
and the convicts
started out with two things,
00:02:01.28\00:02:04.12
praying to God and working hard.
00:02:04.15\00:02:08.36
So, you know,
00:02:08.39\00:02:09.72
I believe in the great
00:02:09.76\00:02:11.43
puritan work
ethic through prayer,
00:02:11.46\00:02:15.53
and the early Australians
were believers in God.
00:02:15.56\00:02:18.60
Don't let any modern day
young person from Australia
00:02:18.63\00:02:21.30
say, no, no, no, we didn't.
00:02:21.34\00:02:22.70
No, they all believed in God.
00:02:22.74\00:02:25.37
I was brought up in a
Bible believing country.
00:02:25.41\00:02:30.01
And through prayer and
belief in God and hard work,
00:02:30.05\00:02:34.38
Australia has
become one of the richest
00:02:34.42\00:02:38.95
and best nations in the world.
00:02:38.99\00:02:43.93
So I believe in this
working. I believe in working.
00:02:43.96\00:02:49.80
I believe in hard
work. I believe in honesty.
00:02:49.83\00:02:54.40
A good day's work
for a good day's pay.
00:02:54.44\00:02:57.11
I don't believe in
keeping people down
00:02:57.14\00:03:00.88
with awful wages,
I think that's awful.
00:03:00.91\00:03:04.51
These are some
pictures from my homeland.
00:03:04.55\00:03:07.35
This is the Gold Coast.
00:03:07.38\00:03:09.62
Some of the most
beautiful cities,
00:03:09.65\00:03:11.45
some of the most
wonderful places.
00:03:11.49\00:03:13.15
And then we come
00:03:13.19\00:03:14.52
to the United States of America,
00:03:14.56\00:03:16.89
and you go to
places like New York City,
00:03:16.93\00:03:20.60
and after you've
gone to New York City,
00:03:20.63\00:03:23.60
you go out into the countryside,
00:03:23.63\00:03:26.13
and you go to the Golden Gate,
00:03:26.17\00:03:28.80
and you see the
beauty of America.
00:03:28.84\00:03:31.67
This is a magnificent country,
00:03:31.71\00:03:34.64
and we should never complain
00:03:34.68\00:03:36.28
if we had been born
00:03:36.31\00:03:38.51
in the United States of America.
00:03:38.55\00:03:41.58
Am I saying too much?
Am I being too patriotic?
00:03:41.62\00:03:45.75
Make America great
again by hard work I tell you
00:03:45.79\00:03:49.82
and faith in God.
00:03:49.86\00:03:53.29
Okay, here's another
one of the great rules.
00:03:53.33\00:03:55.96
Practice the golden rule.
00:03:56.00\00:03:57.47
This is point number four,
00:03:57.50\00:03:59.33
"Aspects of this
Righteousness, The Golden Rule".
00:03:59.37\00:04:04.01
What on earth
are we talking about?
00:04:04.04\00:04:06.57
Well, take your Bible please
00:04:06.61\00:04:07.94
and come to
Matthew 7:12, Matthew 7:12,
00:04:07.98\00:04:12.91
Matthew 7, Jesus said,
00:04:12.95\00:04:15.55
"Therefore, whatever
you want men to do to you,
00:04:15.58\00:04:18.79
do also to them,
00:04:18.82\00:04:20.42
for this is the
Law and the Prophets."
00:04:20.46\00:04:23.39
You know what
the golden rule is?
00:04:23.43\00:04:25.59
Do unto others
00:04:25.63\00:04:28.10
as you would
have them do unto you.
00:04:28.13\00:04:33.74
Hear what I'm saying.
00:04:33.77\00:04:35.24
That includes
caring for the poor.
00:04:35.27\00:04:38.31
That includes
caring for the refugees.
00:04:38.34\00:04:42.48
That includes
caring for the sick.
00:04:42.51\00:04:46.65
You know, what I'm saying?
We need to care for the sick.
00:04:46.68\00:04:51.12
And that means not
saying hate speech.
00:04:51.15\00:04:54.32
That means, if
you don't like it,
00:04:54.36\00:04:56.52
then don't do it.
00:04:56.56\00:04:57.89
Jesus said,
00:04:57.93\00:04:59.26
"Do unto others
00:04:59.29\00:05:00.63
as you would have
them do unto you."
00:05:00.66\00:05:02.53
No more hate speech
00:05:02.56\00:05:03.90
from the
politicians in Washington,
00:05:03.93\00:05:05.97
the press and
ordinary folks like you and me,
00:05:06.00\00:05:08.70
no more hate
speech, it's antichristian.
00:05:08.74\00:05:12.57
You know, because
Senator John McCain,
00:05:12.61\00:05:15.78
a war hero and
an American patriot,
00:05:15.81\00:05:21.35
a straight shooter
voted against a bill.
00:05:21.38\00:05:27.16
Someone shouted,
00:05:27.19\00:05:28.52
"Add a political
rally, he needs to die soon."
00:05:28.56\00:05:34.93
What a shame? What a disgrace?
00:05:34.96\00:05:38.17
What an un-American expression?
00:05:38.20\00:05:42.74
I say to those people
who claim to be Christians,
00:05:42.77\00:05:46.54
try reading the Bible.
00:05:46.57\00:05:48.74
Try finding out what Jesus said.
00:05:48.78\00:05:51.21
Try reading Matthew
5, Matthew 6, Matthew 7.
00:05:51.25\00:05:56.65
Today in this great
country as in Australia
00:05:56.69\00:05:59.75
and other countries,
00:05:59.79\00:06:01.12
I say this to
our lamentable shame,
00:06:01.16\00:06:03.96
there is a great
ignorance of the Bible.
00:06:03.99\00:06:08.00
Hey, I'm a Christian,
00:06:08.03\00:06:09.36
what about Jesus, what He said,
00:06:09.40\00:06:11.23
"Love your
neighbor as yourself."
00:06:11.27\00:06:13.23
Well, where is that?
00:06:13.27\00:06:14.80
Well, that's in the
Bible, that's what Jesus said.
00:06:14.84\00:06:18.17
If you want to make
America great again,
00:06:18.21\00:06:20.91
then stop the hate speech.
00:06:20.94\00:06:23.68
Treat others as we
want to be treated.
00:06:23.71\00:06:26.75
And get back to
the God of our fathers.
00:06:26.78\00:06:29.08
Now I was out
walking on a hot day here
00:06:29.12\00:06:31.35
in this part of the
world in Thousand Oaks.
00:06:31.39\00:06:33.96
I was up in the hills,
00:06:33.99\00:06:35.66
and I was charging up the hills,
00:06:35.69\00:06:37.26
in fact I was
passing some bicycles.
00:06:37.29\00:06:40.76
They were going
terribly slow but,
00:06:40.80\00:06:43.10
and I was perspiring.
00:06:43.13\00:06:44.47
I was foolish,
00:06:44.50\00:06:45.83
I had not brought a
bottle of water with me.
00:06:45.87\00:06:48.17
Here I am going
like crazy up these hills
00:06:48.20\00:06:51.27
in the middle of summer.
00:06:51.31\00:06:53.71
Young man came over
to me and he said, "Sir."
00:06:53.74\00:06:57.41
Well now, he's
got a few manners.
00:06:57.45\00:07:00.25
He's got a few manners.
00:07:00.28\00:07:03.28
Whatever happened to manners?
00:07:03.32\00:07:06.09
Sir, he said,
00:07:06.12\00:07:07.46
"Would you like
a bottle of water?"
00:07:07.49\00:07:11.09
I said, "Can you spare
it." He said, "I got two."
00:07:11.13\00:07:13.26
He said, "It doesn't matter,
00:07:13.29\00:07:14.63
I'm young and
looks like you need it."
00:07:14.66\00:07:17.57
And he gave me
a bottle of water.
00:07:17.60\00:07:21.64
As the little girl said,
"Make all the bad people good.
00:07:21.67\00:07:27.78
And all the good people kind."
00:07:27.81\00:07:29.61
What we need for
the religious people,
00:07:29.64\00:07:31.65
the so-called good
people to become kind.
00:07:31.68\00:07:35.58
You can make America great again
00:07:35.62\00:07:37.55
by accepting this great truth.
00:07:37.59\00:07:39.82
Here it is, repentance.
00:07:39.85\00:07:43.36
Another part of
this righteousness,
00:07:43.39\00:07:45.86
aspects of righteousness,
00:07:45.89\00:07:48.46
repentance, not a popular word.
00:07:48.50\00:07:53.50
I want you to take your
Bible please now in the studio.
00:07:53.54\00:07:56.81
2 Chronicles.
00:07:56.84\00:07:59.47
2 Chronicles 7:13-14, God says.
00:07:59.51\00:08:04.15
Got it, turn to it.
00:08:04.18\00:08:06.45
"When I shut up
heaven and there is no rain,
00:08:06.48\00:08:09.58
and command the
locusts to devour the land,
00:08:09.62\00:08:11.85
or send
pestilence among My people,
00:08:11.89\00:08:14.26
if My people who are called
00:08:14.29\00:08:16.26
by My name will
humble themselves,
00:08:16.29\00:08:19.43
and pray and seek My face,
00:08:19.46\00:08:22.86
and turn from their wicked ways,
00:08:22.90\00:08:25.90
then I will hear from heaven,
00:08:25.93\00:08:27.70
and will forgive give
their sin and hear their land."
00:08:27.74\00:08:32.17
Listen to me.
00:08:32.21\00:08:34.34
There is no
greatness without goodness,
00:08:34.38\00:08:38.48
and there is no
goodness without repentance.
00:08:38.51\00:08:44.15
That's what the Bible says.
00:08:44.19\00:08:46.86
I was listening
to a man not long ago
00:08:46.89\00:08:49.09
who said on television,
00:08:49.12\00:08:51.46
"I never confess my
sins, I don't confess my sins."
00:08:51.49\00:08:56.36
He has a disease
worse than leprosy.
00:08:56.40\00:08:59.83
Because there is no
heaven without repentance,
00:08:59.87\00:09:03.71
no greatness without repentance.
00:09:03.74\00:09:07.64
Repentance means
turning from sin,
00:09:07.68\00:09:10.71
from pride, arrogance,
00:09:10.75\00:09:14.62
lying, cowardice, racism,
00:09:14.65\00:09:18.45
laziness, hate
speech, the sins of the flesh,
00:09:18.49\00:09:24.63
prostitution, pornography,
fornication, and violence.
00:09:24.66\00:09:31.10
There's plenty of
room in America today
00:09:31.13\00:09:34.07
to become great again
by repenting of our sins.
00:09:34.10\00:09:39.77
And our sins are
standing like a great wall
00:09:39.81\00:09:43.78
between us and God.
00:09:43.81\00:09:48.28
No greatness without goodness,
00:09:48.32\00:09:50.35
no goodness without repentance.
00:09:50.39\00:09:52.29
Repentance brings healing,
00:09:52.32\00:09:54.46
and
restoration, and forgiveness.
00:09:54.49\00:09:56.52
You know why we're so divided?
00:09:56.56\00:09:59.36
Because there's no repentance
on either side of the divide.
00:09:59.39\00:10:02.66
Everybody is so self righteous.
00:10:02.70\00:10:04.80
Everybody is all ways right,
00:10:04.83\00:10:07.17
the other
person is always wrong.
00:10:07.20\00:10:10.31
Repentance brings
healing, and restoration,
00:10:10.34\00:10:12.57
and forgiveness in the family.
00:10:12.61\00:10:14.78
Every family, we need
to repent of our sins.
00:10:14.81\00:10:18.01
Fathers need to
repent of their sins
00:10:18.05\00:10:20.05
to their children.
00:10:20.08\00:10:21.42
Children need to
repent of their sins
00:10:21.45\00:10:22.95
to each other.
00:10:22.98\00:10:26.12
And it brings
healing in the nation.
00:10:26.15\00:10:29.96
No true
greatness without goodness,
00:10:29.99\00:10:32.53
and no goodness
without repentance.
00:10:32.56\00:10:35.96
We can't make America great
00:10:36.00\00:10:38.07
again until
America is good again.
00:10:38.10\00:10:43.07
Now, America is
facing a tremendous crisis.
00:10:43.10\00:10:45.47
You look at the debt,
nobody talks about it anymore.
00:10:45.51\00:10:49.34
For a while
everybody was talking about
00:10:49.38\00:10:51.08
this tremendous deficit.
00:10:51.11\00:10:52.75
What is it? Going
up, up, up, up, up.
00:10:52.78\00:10:56.42
Nobody is
talking about it anymore.
00:10:56.45\00:11:00.02
It's a cancer but
there is a greater cancer.
00:11:00.06\00:11:03.49
It is a moral sickness.
00:11:03.53\00:11:06.09
Therefore we need repentance.
00:11:06.13\00:11:08.46
Point number
six. Point number six.
00:11:08.50\00:11:13.03
This aspect of
this righteousness
00:11:13.07\00:11:15.67
or this goodness
that makes a nation great,
00:11:15.70\00:11:18.57
obedience to God's law.
00:11:18.61\00:11:22.61
And I want you
to come to the words
00:11:22.64\00:11:24.38
of the great Moses,
00:11:24.41\00:11:25.75
Deuteronomy 6:17-25,
notice it in the Bible.
00:11:25.78\00:11:30.82
Deuteronomy, the
fifth book of Moses,
00:11:30.85\00:11:34.32
Chapter 6:17-25,
00:11:34.36\00:11:37.03
"You shall diligently keep
the commandments of the Lord
00:11:37.06\00:11:39.86
your God, His testimonies,
00:11:39.89\00:11:41.60
and His statutes
which He has commanded you.
00:11:41.63\00:11:44.50
And you shall do what is right
00:11:44.53\00:11:46.10
and good in the
sight of the Lord,
00:11:46.13\00:11:47.84
that it may be well with you,
00:11:47.87\00:11:49.47
and that you may go in
and possess the good land
00:11:49.50\00:11:52.74
of which the Lord
swore to your fathers,
00:11:52.77\00:11:55.38
to cast out all your
enemies from before you,
00:11:55.41\00:11:58.31
as the Lord has spoken.
00:11:58.35\00:12:00.02
When your son I asks
you in time to come, saying,
00:12:00.05\00:12:02.98
What is the
meaning of the testimonies,
00:12:03.02\00:12:05.35
the statutes,
00:12:05.39\00:12:06.72
and the judgments
00:12:06.76\00:12:08.09
which the Lord our
God has commanded you?'
00:12:08.12\00:12:10.06
Then you shall say to your son"
00:12:10.09\00:12:12.39
'We were slaves
of Pharaoh in Egypt,
00:12:12.43\00:12:14.86
and the Lord
brought us out of Egypt
00:12:14.90\00:12:17.10
with a mighty hand,
00:12:17.13\00:12:18.47
and the Lord showed signs
and wonders before our eyes,
00:12:18.50\00:12:21.80
great in severe,
against Egypt, Pharaoh,
00:12:21.84\00:12:24.91
and all his household.
00:12:24.94\00:12:27.14
Then He brought
us out from there
00:12:27.18\00:12:29.11
that He might turn us in,
00:12:29.14\00:12:31.21
to give us the land
00:12:31.25\00:12:32.61
of which He
swore to our fathers.
00:12:32.65\00:12:34.48
And the Lord commanded us
to observe all these statutes,
00:12:34.52\00:12:38.65
to fear the Lord our
God, for our good always,
00:12:38.69\00:12:42.72
that He might preserve us alive,
00:12:42.76\00:12:44.99
as it is today.
00:12:45.03\00:12:46.39
Then it will be
righteousness for us,
00:12:46.43\00:12:49.90
if we are careful to
observe all these commandments
00:12:49.93\00:12:53.70
before the Lord our God,
as He has commanded us.'"
00:12:53.74\00:12:56.74
We are not saved
by our obedience,
00:12:56.77\00:12:59.97
but we are not saved without it.
00:13:00.01\00:13:02.78
We are saved by
the grace of God.
00:13:02.81\00:13:05.41
We are saved by
the mercy of Christ,
00:13:05.45\00:13:08.35
but we are not saved
to break the law of God.
00:13:08.38\00:13:12.25
We are saved to
keep the law of God.
00:13:12.29\00:13:15.86
You can make America great again
00:13:15.89\00:13:17.69
by keeping the commandments.
00:13:17.73\00:13:19.09
Come over here to Isaiah 48,
00:13:19.13\00:13:21.33
the Book of Isaiah 48:18,
00:13:21.36\00:13:26.90
Isaiah 48:18, there it says,
00:13:26.94\00:13:30.61
"Oh that you had
heeded My commandments!
00:13:30.64\00:13:33.41
Then your peace would
have been like a river.
00:13:33.44\00:13:37.31
And your righteousness,
00:13:37.35\00:13:38.68
your righteousness
like the waves of the sea.'
00:13:38.71\00:13:43.99
" Let me tell you something else
00:13:44.02\00:13:45.35
while we're on the subject.
00:13:45.39\00:13:47.36
Okay.
00:13:47.39\00:13:49.86
We can't make our own laws.
00:13:49.89\00:13:52.56
The Supreme Court
can't change the law of God.
00:13:52.59\00:13:56.43
The Supreme Court can't say,
00:13:56.46\00:13:58.10
oh marriage is so and so, no.
00:13:58.13\00:14:00.90
That's not their authority.
00:14:00.94\00:14:04.01
The Word of God tells me
00:14:04.04\00:14:06.68
what is right and what is wrong.
00:14:06.71\00:14:10.05
And we will
follow the laws of God
00:14:10.08\00:14:13.55
and the laws of man
00:14:13.58\00:14:15.48
when they are in
harmony with the laws of God.
00:14:15.52\00:14:17.92
I still believe in
the Ten Commandments.
00:14:17.95\00:14:19.69
The first four define
00:14:19.72\00:14:21.06
our
relationships to the Creator,
00:14:21.09\00:14:22.82
the last six,
00:14:22.86\00:14:24.19
our relationships to each other.
00:14:24.23\00:14:26.33
All civilized
nations have been based
00:14:26.36\00:14:31.93
on the Ten Commandments.
00:14:31.97\00:14:33.54
Every one of them,
all the great countries.
00:14:33.57\00:14:36.71
The commandments of God,
00:14:40.24\00:14:41.84
a God's great antidote to crime,
00:14:41.88\00:14:44.95
sexually transmitted diseases,
00:14:44.98\00:14:47.92
divorce, child abuse,
00:14:47.95\00:14:50.99
drug abuse,
poverty, racism, dishonesty,
00:14:51.02\00:14:56.42
and all those negative factors
00:14:56.46\00:14:58.79
that have been
destroying America.
00:14:58.83\00:15:01.76
You can't make
America great again
00:15:01.80\00:15:04.30
until you make
America good again,
00:15:04.33\00:15:06.17
and you get good again
00:15:06.20\00:15:07.54
when you obey the
commandments of God
00:15:07.57\00:15:09.70
through faith in Christ.
00:15:09.74\00:15:11.24
The mighty Roman
Empire was destroyed
00:15:11.27\00:15:14.78
because she made war
on God's Commandments
00:15:14.81\00:15:18.58
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:15:18.61\00:15:21.62
Who do we think we
are? Think we're better.
00:15:21.65\00:15:24.29
Nothing can happen to us.
00:15:24.32\00:15:26.72
If we walk in the
footsteps of the Roman Empire,
00:15:26.76\00:15:30.26
we will go down as
the Roman Empire did.
00:15:30.29\00:15:35.96
But it's not too late
00:15:36.00\00:15:38.67
to turn to God and repent.
00:15:38.70\00:15:42.84
People in Washington
who got tremendous problems,
00:15:42.87\00:15:45.07
they don't know what to do.
00:15:45.11\00:15:48.24
Well, try making America
good again by being good again.
00:15:48.28\00:15:54.32
Righteousness exalts a nation.
00:15:54.35\00:15:57.32
When it says righteousness,
00:15:57.35\00:15:58.95
it means the goodness of God
00:15:58.99\00:16:03.12
permeating society.
00:16:03.16\00:16:08.30
Why is America been
a beacon to the world?
00:16:08.33\00:16:10.90
Because America was based on
00:16:10.93\00:16:14.54
Judeo-Christian values,
00:16:14.57\00:16:18.24
that's the reason.
00:16:18.27\00:16:20.11
Number seven,
00:16:20.14\00:16:21.61
it's the seventh
point in this righteousness,
00:16:21.64\00:16:25.81
it's going to take courage,
00:16:25.85\00:16:27.38
defend your given right
00:16:27.42\00:16:30.95
of freedom of
speech and religion.
00:16:30.99\00:16:36.79
The greatness of America,
00:16:36.83\00:16:39.09
freedom of speech
00:16:39.13\00:16:41.23
and freedom of religion.
00:16:41.26\00:16:46.87
The First
Amendment says. Look at it.
00:16:46.90\00:16:50.97
First Amendment,
Congress shall make no law.
00:16:51.01\00:16:54.54
Respecting an
establishment of religion.
00:16:54.58\00:16:58.18
The state ought to
stay out of religion,
00:16:58.21\00:17:00.95
or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof.
00:17:00.98\00:17:03.52
Don't tell me
how to worship God.
00:17:03.55\00:17:06.25
Or abridging the
freedom of speech,
00:17:06.29\00:17:09.06
or of the press,
00:17:09.09\00:17:14.83
or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble,
00:17:14.86\00:17:18.67
and to petition the government
for a redress of grievances."
00:17:18.70\00:17:22.64
It is right for the
American people peaceably,
00:17:22.67\00:17:27.14
or peacefully to
march and to demonstrate.
00:17:27.18\00:17:30.88
You say, "No, you
can't." Yes, you can.
00:17:30.91\00:17:35.18
You're not living
in Russia or China,
00:17:35.22\00:17:38.05
this is America, you see.
00:17:38.09\00:17:42.42
The First Amendment says,
00:17:42.46\00:17:43.96
freedom of speech
and freedom of religion.
00:17:43.99\00:17:50.00
I want you to notice the
Jefferson letter of 1802.
00:17:50.03\00:17:54.90
The Jefferson
letter, gonna read it.
00:17:54.94\00:17:57.77
He said, "I contemplate
with sovereign reverence
00:17:57.81\00:18:01.21
that act of the
whole American people
00:18:01.24\00:18:04.15
which declared
that their legislature
00:18:04.18\00:18:06.98
should 'make no law respecting
an establishment of religion,
00:18:07.02\00:18:13.62
or prohibiting the
free exercise there of,
00:18:13.66\00:18:17.76
'thus building a
wall of separation
00:18:17.79\00:18:22.46
between Church and State.'"
00:18:22.50\00:18:25.53
Now today, I'm hearing
a lot of talk about saying
00:18:25.57\00:18:29.07
that we should
get rid of this wall
00:18:29.10\00:18:32.41
that separates church and
state and we should declare
00:18:32.44\00:18:36.14
that we are a Christian nation.
00:18:36.18\00:18:38.85
That would take us
back to persecution
00:18:43.12\00:18:45.92
and the dark ages.
00:18:45.95\00:18:49.09
We believe, I
believe with Jefferson,
00:18:49.12\00:18:52.96
in spite of what
some are saying today,
00:18:52.99\00:18:56.53
I believe with Jefferson,
00:18:56.56\00:18:58.67
thus building a
wall over separation
00:18:58.70\00:19:01.47
between church and state.
00:19:01.50\00:19:02.84
And you know
00:19:02.87\00:19:04.21
why ministers get
tied up in politics?
00:19:04.24\00:19:06.54
It's because
they're failing to preach
00:19:06.57\00:19:08.31
the gospel of Christ.
00:19:08.34\00:19:10.61
Their churches are
empty, they're dying,
00:19:10.65\00:19:13.21
and therefore they
want political power.
00:19:13.25\00:19:15.65
I say to the
ministry, do your duty,
00:19:15.68\00:19:19.09
preach the Word of God
and stop playing politics.
00:19:19.12\00:19:23.66
When I was a boy
studying at Avondale College,
00:19:23.69\00:19:27.80
I was taught these words
by one of my old professors,
00:19:27.83\00:19:32.03
Pastor Heffron.
00:19:32.07\00:19:34.70
And I may have
got it little wrong
00:19:34.74\00:19:36.20
because it's going
back a year or two,
00:19:36.24\00:19:38.04
he said,
00:19:38.07\00:19:40.41
"I may disagree
with everything you say,
00:19:40.44\00:19:44.55
but I will
defend to my last breath
00:19:44.58\00:19:47.98
your right to say it."
00:19:48.02\00:19:51.49
Of course, the
politically correct people
00:19:51.52\00:19:53.52
don't believe that.
00:19:53.56\00:19:55.16
They believe you can only say
00:19:55.19\00:19:57.33
something that
doesn't offend them,
00:19:57.36\00:19:59.03
and we're breeding a
race of namby-pambies,
00:19:59.06\00:20:02.53
"Oh, I've been offended."
00:20:02.56\00:20:05.30
Hey, grow up, get
out in the real world,
00:20:05.33\00:20:06.67
would you?
00:20:06.70\00:20:08.04
You're going to get
offended in the real world.
00:20:08.07\00:20:09.60
You come to work for me,
00:20:09.64\00:20:10.97
you'll get
offended straight away.
00:20:11.01\00:20:13.14
Oh, I can't do this.
No, I'll be offended.
00:20:13.17\00:20:16.34
We gotta have places in Berkeley
00:20:16.38\00:20:18.91
where nobody can ever
be offended, so nobody...
00:20:18.95\00:20:23.42
What a lot of chunk, you know.
00:20:23.45\00:20:26.59
I may disagree
with everything you say,
00:20:26.62\00:20:29.12
but I will defend
to my last breaths
00:20:29.16\00:20:32.83
your right to say it.
00:20:32.86\00:20:35.23
This means this.
00:20:35.26\00:20:37.87
The Roman Catholic Church,
00:20:37.90\00:20:40.64
The Mormons, the Protestants,
00:20:40.67\00:20:43.17
the Muslims, the Jews,
00:20:43.20\00:20:44.97
the Hindus, the atheists,
00:20:45.01\00:20:47.08
the Adventists have the right
to freely express their ideas
00:20:47.11\00:20:52.88
and their beliefs.
00:20:52.91\00:20:54.88
People have the
right to be wrong.
00:20:54.92\00:21:00.62
Oh, people have said to me,
"No, no, you've got it right."
00:21:00.66\00:21:03.66
You've only got
the right to be right.
00:21:03.69\00:21:06.73
What you're gonna do,
set up the inquisition again?
00:21:06.76\00:21:09.33
That's what they believed.
00:21:09.36\00:21:10.80
You've got the
right to be right.
00:21:10.83\00:21:12.83
Every person has got
the right to be wrong
00:21:12.87\00:21:15.50
because your
wrong may be my right
00:21:15.54\00:21:19.14
and my right may be
your wrong, you see.
00:21:19.17\00:21:23.11
Freedom of expression,
00:21:23.14\00:21:25.71
this right is recognized
in America, Australia,
00:21:25.75\00:21:28.12
Great Britain, and
other free countries.
00:21:28.15\00:21:30.95
Many American universities
00:21:30.99\00:21:35.19
restrict freedom of speech,
00:21:35.22\00:21:39.03
Berkeley in California,
00:21:39.06\00:21:40.40
they have
00:21:40.43\00:21:41.76
"the rule
00:21:41.80\00:21:43.23
of political correctness"
00:21:43.26\00:21:49.74
which makes cowards of all men.
00:21:49.77\00:21:53.51
That's what they happened in,
00:21:53.54\00:21:54.88
that's they did
in Russia and China,
00:21:54.91\00:21:57.41
only allowed to
say the party line.
00:21:57.45\00:21:59.98
You don't say the party line,
00:22:00.02\00:22:01.35
well, you're
gonna go to Siberia.
00:22:01.38\00:22:05.55
Political
correctness is un-American.
00:22:05.59\00:22:08.69
Therefore,
00:22:08.72\00:22:10.43
if you want to make
America great again,
00:22:10.46\00:22:12.39
you've got to make
America good again.
00:22:12.43\00:22:14.56
How?
00:22:14.60\00:22:16.26
There's a need to
return to the Bible.
00:22:16.30\00:22:20.34
The Declaration of Independence,
00:22:20.37\00:22:23.00
the Constitution,
and the Bill of Rights...
00:22:23.04\00:22:27.38
With faith in God,
and love for each other.
00:22:32.25\00:22:38.25
America will be
truly good and great again.
00:22:38.29\00:22:44.83
Now, let me read you something,
00:22:44.86\00:22:47.53
because this sort of
sums up America to me.
00:22:47.56\00:22:50.80
This is Winston
Churchill's favorite hymn.
00:22:50.83\00:22:55.70
"Mine eyes have seen the
glory of the coming of the Lord:
00:22:55.74\00:23:00.64
He is trampling out the vintage
00:23:00.68\00:23:02.34
where grapes of
wrath are stored:
00:23:02.38\00:23:05.21
He hath loosed
the fateful lightning
00:23:05.25\00:23:07.42
of his terrible swift sword.
00:23:07.45\00:23:10.19
His Truth is marching on.
00:23:10.22\00:23:13.92
I've seen him in the watch fires
00:23:13.96\00:23:15.66
of a hundred circling camps.
00:23:15.69\00:23:18.93
They have builded Him an altar
in the evening dews and damps.
00:23:18.96\00:23:23.03
I can read his
righteous sentence
00:23:23.06\00:23:26.37
by the dim and flaring lamps.
00:23:26.40\00:23:30.84
His day is marching on.
00:23:30.87\00:23:35.64
He has sounded forth the trumpet
00:23:35.68\00:23:37.45
that shall never sound retreat.
00:23:37.48\00:23:40.55
He is sifting
out the hearts of men
00:23:40.58\00:23:42.48
before His Judgment Seat.
00:23:42.52\00:23:44.72
Oh!
00:23:44.75\00:23:46.19
Be swift, my
soul, to answer Him,
00:23:46.22\00:23:49.59
be jubilant, my feet.
00:23:49.62\00:23:52.89
Our God is marching on.
00:23:52.93\00:23:57.33
In the beauty of
the lilies Christ
00:23:57.37\00:24:00.24
was born across the sea,
00:24:00.27\00:24:03.44
With a glory in his bosom
00:24:03.47\00:24:05.81
that transfigures you and made:
00:24:05.84\00:24:09.94
As he died to make men holy,
00:24:09.98\00:24:13.68
let us die to make men free.
00:24:13.72\00:24:18.22
While God is marching on.
00:24:18.25\00:24:22.06
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
00:24:22.09\00:24:27.20
Glory, glory hallelujah!
00:24:27.23\00:24:32.40
Glory, glory hallelujah!
00:24:32.43\00:24:38.87
His truth is marching on.
00:24:38.91\00:24:41.24
This is the great song that
00:24:45.01\00:24:51.39
that great man heard,
00:24:51.42\00:24:54.42
after he heard it
for the first time.
00:24:54.46\00:24:56.96
Abraham Lincoln heard
it for the first time.
00:24:56.99\00:25:01.70
And eyes have seen the glory,
00:25:01.73\00:25:05.67
and he just wept as he heard it.
00:25:05.70\00:25:11.41
All this stuff it says,
00:25:11.44\00:25:15.98
we're no different to
these other countries.
00:25:16.01\00:25:21.25
It's not the truth.
00:25:21.28\00:25:23.82
America, handful of others,
00:25:23.85\00:25:26.92
just a tiny number
came out of the Reformation.
00:25:26.96\00:25:31.16
Those great countries have been
00:25:31.19\00:25:33.19
based upon the Bible
and faith in the Creator
00:25:33.23\00:25:38.83
that says that every
person is distinct and glorious.
00:25:38.87\00:25:44.11
Amen.
00:25:44.14\00:25:45.84
And if we would
make this beloved country
00:25:45.87\00:25:48.71
that already is great.
00:25:48.74\00:25:51.28
If we would
make America greater,
00:25:51.31\00:25:55.45
and better, and fairer,
00:25:55.48\00:26:00.46
then we must make her good,
00:26:00.49\00:26:05.36
and have this righteousness.
00:26:05.39\00:26:09.56
Therefore I say,
00:26:09.60\00:26:11.77
"May God bless
00:26:11.80\00:26:13.50
the United States of America."
00:26:13.54\00:26:17.14
Amen.
00:26:17.17\00:26:18.64
The word began in a village.
00:26:22.54\00:26:26.01
Churches and schools
sprang up and multiplied
00:26:26.05\00:26:30.52
reaching into the city.
00:26:30.55\00:26:33.99
Great truths revealed
00:26:34.02\00:26:35.62
to the people
of Papa New Guinea,
00:26:35.66\00:26:38.46
changing thousands of lives.
00:26:38.49\00:26:41.66
Our eyes are going to be opened
00:26:41.70\00:26:44.67
to the discovery
of amazing truths.
00:26:44.70\00:26:48.64
The greatest
truths in the Bible,
00:26:48.67\00:26:50.51
it is the truth
that God loves you.
00:26:50.54\00:26:54.21
It has
completely changed my life
00:26:54.24\00:26:56.14
and I'm going to be
baptized this Sabbath.
00:26:56.18\00:26:58.41
Pastor Carter has
put something in my heart
00:26:58.45\00:27:00.92
that I will never forget.
00:27:00.95\00:27:02.28
Thank you, Pastor
Carter, for your program.
00:27:02.32\00:27:04.22
It has changed
my life completely.
00:27:04.25\00:27:06.55
John Carter's
Great Truths Revealed

And they had smoked
bombs, and they had fire bombs,
00:27:50.53\00:27:53.70
and the Russian
army had to take me
00:27:53.74\00:27:55.57
to the meetings.
00:27:55.60\00:27:59.87
