[00:00:00] Hi everybody, this is Ron Reagan. I'm sitting with my wife Nancy and we're up there in that heavenly ranch listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience. On with the show, this is it! 2... 1... And away we go! The Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show
[00:00:39] Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Ron Edwards American Experience Talk Show where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now your radio refreshment, Ron Edwards! Well, good day, good day, hello and how are you? I'm Ron Edwards and welcome to this edition of the Ron Edwards American Experience.
[00:01:32] And yeah, it's that time of year again as we celebrate and recognize our nation's independence and happy birthday to America.
[00:01:42] I'm taking more than one day to recognize that because the fact is if you can take a whole month for certain people to recognize an unnatural lifestyle, I can certainly take more than one day to recognize the birthday of this great nation.
[00:01:59] And someone is going to be joining me in a few minutes to also recognize our nation's independence and share some of his wisdom. William Federer, a great historian and man, he has wonderful books and has spoken so eloquently through the years about our nation's history.
[00:02:18] So we're going to be talking with him this day but in the meantime it seems that Hollywood mogul Ari Emanuel for example, people like him are getting quite worried because they see and recognize that
[00:02:33] Uncle Joe Biden is just not fit for the call any longer. They're finally admitting, hey Joe you got to hang it up. But Uncle Joe despite some recent reports says that he's not hanging him up. He's not getting out. You know, Jill, Jill, Dr. Jill.
[00:02:52] I wonder what she's a doctor of. Been trying to find out. She just calls herself doctor I guess running around. But anyway, he's not stepping down. 41% of Democrats want him to get out of office though.
[00:03:08] But I don't think he's going to do it because on the other hand while many of them want him to leave at the same time they're saying that even a dead Joe Biden would be better than Kamala.
[00:03:22] So that's going to be quite interesting. Personally I hope he does step down and maybe during the convention or whatever and they hand it over to Kamala because they're in quite a bit of a pickle
[00:03:35] because you know their DEI mentality, CRT mentality whatever they can't do an end it around and go get someone else because oh my gosh. You know it's the Democrats who say that it's not about qualifications. It's about gender, chosen gender that is and the color of one skin.
[00:03:59] And Kamala commits, you know she is committed to jump in there if she gets the opportunity. Yeah that's true. Doug my producer just pointed out that the press is reporting that Michelle Obama would be a good replacement for Uncle Joe.
[00:04:19] And yeah she would be very dynamic. She at least you know she can put a bunch of sentences together. She knows how to spell.
[00:04:27] You know she's speaking, she doesn't all of a sudden go, you know she completes her thoughts and that could be a bit more dangerous at least you know as far as people wanting to jump in and vote for Michelle.
[00:04:43] So the beat goes on my friends. The economy is not where it should be in my humble opinion. Yes it's not super weak at this time but it's being overburdened as Congress and other officials continue to push for more and more spending.
[00:05:04] And you know that really bothers me. It's bothered me for many many years how whenever individuals bring up lowering our taxes and I think about Independence Day.
[00:05:18] And I'm reminded very quickly that the founders one of the reasons why they went to Nutsville and said you know we've had enough of this stuff of King George is because of a 3% tax.
[00:05:30] Could you imagine if they were alive today suddenly they were brought back and they could see our heavy tax rates. They would have thought that we've totally gone to Nutsville.
[00:05:42] They would have thought that oh my God they gave up the ghost. I don't know by the 1800s and it is unreasonable our tax burden in this country today.
[00:05:54] And you know we've got to lower the taxes to stimulate the economy but at the same time they've got to cut the spending.
[00:06:05] That's the problem but they like to ignore that especially during the political season and they just blame Trump for the deficits and yes he did allow a lot of the spending but even though technically the president is not in charge of the money or not supposed to be.
[00:06:19] It is the Congress and the Congress should have shown restraint during the Trump administration and now during the Uncle Joe administration. And so now we have when you combine the debt and the deficit I think it's around fifty eight trillion dollars.
[00:06:40] And if it was not the United States of America and this special setup that we have the nation would have long ago collapsed. We would have been smashed a long time ago.
[00:06:53] But we're getting to the point where even the great United States of America can no longer shoulder the amount of debt that is being heaped upon. We the people I think each household now technically is burdened with well over a hundred thousand dollars in debt.
[00:07:11] And we had nothing to do with this debt and deficit. And so yeah this has to be rained in before it's too late.
[00:07:22] And speaking about weakness you know the founding fathers would also be quite upset if they were to come back and see how this nation has entangled itself in so many struggle war struggles and conflict struggles around the world.
[00:07:45] Again they would think we were retarded with the way this nation is entangled with what's going on in Ukraine between Ukraine and Russia. Knowing that NATO has provoked the bear poked the bear stoked fires right almost at the border of the bear.
[00:08:05] And you know us continuing to sell wolf tickets to Putin who was now shown up with not him personally but he has he has made sure that we see some of their power and the willingness to poke us back with their warships and their giant submarine
[00:08:25] and the war from our coastline and other things that are going on around the world. China has you know captured a Taiwanese boat or vessel and it's told Taiwan you better not get involved. Now that is not a show of weakness of the United States of America.
[00:08:48] I don't know what does. I really don't. So it is time to stop acting like little children in the government spending like drunken sailors acting like fools in some cases. But a nation I'm going to tell you something right now.
[00:09:14] A nation that ends up with the quality of candidates that we have been dealing with for many years like a Joe Biden like a nasty Pelosi like a Maxine waters a pile of communist oriented nitwits.
[00:09:33] And these are the the pool of degenerates that the American people have been satisfied and choosing between for many, many years. And that's why sometimes every once in a while I say you know what we the people need to take a look in the mirror and check ourselves.
[00:09:52] And we have to question ourselves and what we've been satisfied with. Now I've never voted Democrat in my entire life but then I look across the aisle and I see some of my Republicans and they look as bad as Democrats.
[00:10:06] In fact, in a sense, worse because they know better the platform of the Republican Party is usually very, very wonderful. But they're not for the most part living up to it either to what it should be concerning governing this nation.
[00:10:22] So that's why they're called the Uniparty, the founding fathers man. I tell you, I'd be totally embarrassed if they were if God would have bring them back alive just to give them a tour of what's going on DC right now. Oh my goodness.
[00:10:42] But anyway, we're going to have some better conversation when we return on this to run Edwards American experience with our guest William Federer. Great American historian.

[00:13:42] This is a run Edwards American experience. So thanks so much for being with us this day as we celebrate America's birthday. And I guess is William J. Federer. He's producer of the American Minute. You can check out his website AmericanMinted.com.
[00:13:59] And he's a nationally known speaker bestselling author and president of American Search Inc. A publishing company dedicated to researching America's noble heritage. Bill's American Minute radio features broadcast daily across the United States of America and the Internet. Hello William and welcome back.
[00:14:20] It's great to be with you Ron. Great to have you sir. I checked out your latest American Minute and which features you talk about King George ruling the largest empire ever known basically. They used to say that the sun never set on the British Empire.
[00:14:41] And it is amazing sir how today during this time of we're supposed to be in a land of Liberty but I don't think so. What say you. Yeah the King of England was a globalist. He was a one world government guy with him at the time.
[00:15:02] The sun never set on the British Empire as you mentioned. And America's founders didn't like a globalist king telling us what to do so they broke away and flipped it and made the people the king. So kings have subjects who are subjected to their will.
[00:15:16] And the republics have citizens. The word citizen means co king co ruler co sovereign. And so when we put the legions to the flag into the Republic we're basically pledging allegiance to us being in charge of ourselves.
[00:15:29] And so when somebody protests the flag what they're saying is I don't want to be the king anymore. I protested the system or I participate in ruling myself. It's like OK somebody else will tell you what to do. Yeah.
[00:15:39] So the King of England ruled and would abusively and so the Declaration of Independence list 27 of the abuses that the king did. A one is he had a two tiered justice system. Imagine that it said he has made judges dependent on his will alone.
[00:16:00] And then he weaponized the bureaucracy. Imagine that says he erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He imposed martial law. He's kept among us in time to peace standing armies.
[00:16:16] And then he targeted his targeted his political opponents for depriveing us in many cases of the benefit of trial by jury for establishing an arbitrary government for altering fundamentally the forms of our government. And then he turned law enforcement and the military against his own subjects.
[00:16:35] Can you imagine that he has ponderous ease ravaged our coast burnt our towns destroyed our lives and our people is he is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death. The desolation and tyranny. And then he stirred up the Indians. Right.
[00:16:52] So the American and Indians had reached an equilibrium with the British come in and stir them up to scalp. And it says he has excited domestic insurrection among us and is endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers.
[00:17:03] The merciless Indian savages who's known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. And so you had 33 year old Thomas Jefferson draw up the Declaration of Independence. And he originally it got rid of slavery.
[00:17:22] And then the King of England, because he was a part owner of the Royal African Company.
[00:17:28] And Jefferson wrote, The king has waged cruel war against human nature itself in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their transportation
[00:17:44] and to thither suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this exerbile commerce, determined to keep open a market where men should be bought and sold. So originally that was in the declaration but South Carolina and Georgia wouldn't go along with it.
[00:18:02] And they had made the decision that it needed to be unanimous. And British were setting fire to New York. And they panicked and said we'll deal with slavery later how we wish they would have dealt with it right then.
[00:18:14] John Hancock signed the declaration he says the price on my head is just doubled. Then Secretary Charles Thompson, he later compiled the by put together a translation of the Bible. 70 year old Ben Franklin said we must hang together or most assuredly we will hang separately.
[00:18:34] The king infringed on people's creator given rights and that the declaration is going above the king's head. Sir like if you lose a case, you appeal it and then you appeal to the Supreme Court. But what if you lose there?
[00:18:47] Well, you go above their heads to the creator. And that's when the founder said they said appealing to the supreme judge to the world for the rectitude of our intention. And the one line in the declaration where it says all men are created equal.
[00:19:03] That was not the way it was in England because the king did not believe all men were created equal. He believed he was created a little extra special.
[00:19:13] It's called divine right of kings God chose me I'm the king I got an army I'm going to make you obey out of fear. But the declaration bypasses the king. And it says the creator gives the rights directly to each person.
[00:19:26] And so can I jump in real quick? Go ahead. I'd like to ask you with the exception of martial law just about everything that you've enumerated seems to be in place today.
[00:19:41] And when it comes to taxation, we're under a bigger burden than those who fought against King George. What say you?
[00:19:51] Yeah, well, you had the British took over India and in Bengal and they decided that the way that they had been doing their agriculture for centuries was not profitable.
[00:20:05] So they disrupted their entire way of doing things, you know, but the British didn't understand monsoons and droughts and guess what? There was a famine in 1770 and it killed 10 million people in Bengal. So the British East India Company was facing bankruptcy.
[00:20:23] There's nothing coming out of there to sell in England. And so the king said, okay, well you could tax and have monopolies with people in England said we don't want to have to pay more. And so the king said, okay, tax the colonies.
[00:20:38] And so not only did they tax the colonies, they put out a business the middleman.
[00:20:44] And so T was the number one beverage. Now it's coffee, but back then it was tea and the people would buy it from ships and then sell it, but just cut out the middleman and it prohibited other countries, the Dutch, the French and some of the others from importing stuff.
[00:21:03] And then the king forbade the people to issue their own currencies and had to use the king's currency.
[00:21:09] And then the king appointed all the judges and anyway, he kept tightening the screws and it kept getting worse and worse than you had the Boston Tea Party and then the Boston Massacre where they fired into a crowd in the British Recorder in the people's homes.
[00:21:22] And then it broke out into into war. But it was, we didn't have an army. We just had volunteers right off the farm and we were taking on the most powerful military on planet Earth. So it was an amazing achievement that they did took eight years.
[00:21:44] But they gave us a present and that present is we get to be in charge of our lives and all of us together are in charge of the country. And so the founders were human. They had faults, but they put us in charge of our lives.
[00:21:58] That's when Franklin is coming out of the Constitutional Convention and a Mrs. Powell said, What would you give us a Republic or a monarchy? And Franklin said a republic if you can keep it.
[00:22:09] Meaning they understood that the republic is depends on the citizens having morals and if they give up morals is going to turn into chaos. You know, one of the things that I noticed I did a book on history of socialism.
[00:22:21] And I noticed that when dictators want to take over a country, they will let illegal immigrants in who will do terrorism and then they'll blame the terrorism on their political opponents. And then they'll use as an excuse to round up all their political opponents and lock them away.
[00:22:41] And then when the dust settles, there's no political opponents left and the country is now will as a dictatorship.
[00:22:48] So that could possibly be the next step is to have the government behind between now and the election having some type of orchestrated crisis that they can blame on their opponents.
[00:23:02] And then, you know, imagine if there's a lot of illegals not just doing George Floyd riots and taking over downtown Seattle autonomous zones, but actually having killings and then the responsible government come in.
[00:23:15] And they'll bring in their woke army and set up martial law and everybody will be happy for a while and they'll realize you can't have an election during this time. And so hopefully that won't happen. But but historically during the Cold War, these types of tactics were used.
[00:23:30] Yeah. And it you know, and I've had those kind of nightmarish thoughts myself. And, you know, just just looking at the way things are playing out and how easily, you know, many Americans will often fall for a crisis.
[00:23:46] And then when the government comes in with their solutions, which makes things worse in the long run, and it just goes on and on and on. And you look at history around the world and you see these kinds of patterns as well that have happened in our hemisphere.
[00:24:00] And, you know, we just have to get back to teaching real history about our country and in our schools. And I think that will go a long way in restoring this republic. I want to I got a question in relation to that.
[00:24:16] I'm going to hold it until we come back from the break and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience Independence Day Edition. We'll be right back after that. This is Sue Cleary, self appointed Susan advocate and you're listening to the Ron Edwards American Experience.
[00:24:46] And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that light to me. And I'll grab this band up next to you and defend her still today. Because there ain't no doubt I love this land. God bless the U.S.A.

[00:25:47] But it comes to the founding of the United States of America. It may be shocking to most Christians today but it was New England ministers who played a key role in rallying support for war against the tyranny of King George.
[00:26:00] Hello, I'm Ron Edwards on today's page from the Edwards Notebook. Ministers pressed their congregations to overthrow King George because they believed that rebellion against tyrants was obedience to God. From many pulpits, ministers, recruited troops and strengthened them for battle.
[00:26:18] Those church leaders knew that the Bible places great emphasis on due submission to civil authorities but they also noted that many passages approve resistance to ungodly authority. It is therefore no coincidence that one of the slogans of the American revolutions was, No King but King Jesus.
[00:26:36] Most of the patriots including men of the cloth found in their faith and in God's word the courage to risk their lives and properties in order to break the tyranny of an unjust human authority.
[00:26:48] The ministers of the revolution understood that freedom and liberty emanate from freedom in Christ and the principles emanated in the word of God. I pray the ministers of today will stand for true liberty in Christ and in America. I'm Ron Edwards. I remember a teacher that I had.
[00:27:40] Now I went through the 7th grade. I left home when I was 10 years old because I was hungry. This is true. I work in the summer and go to school in the winter.
[00:27:49] But I had this one teacher who was the principal of the Harrison School in Vincenzo, Indiana. This was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time anyhow. He had such wisdom and we were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance one day
[00:28:03] and he walked over this little teacher. Mr. Lasswell was his name. Mr. Lasswell says, He says, I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it's becoming monotonous to you.
[00:28:25] If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word. I, me, an individual, a committee of one pledge, dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity, allegiance, my love and my devotion to the flag,
[00:28:57] our standard, oh glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job. United, that means that we have all come together. States, individual communities that have united into 48 great states,
[00:29:27] 48 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries yet united to a common purpose and that's love for country. And to the Republic, Republic, a state in which sovereign power is invested in representative chosen by the people to govern
[00:29:53] and government is the people and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people for which it stands. One nation, one nation meaning so blessed by God, indivisible, incapable of being divided with liberty,
[00:30:20] which is freedom, the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear or some sort of retaliation and justice. The principle are qualities of dealing fairly with others for all, for all which means boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.
[00:30:49] And now boys and girls, let me hear you recite the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
[00:31:13] Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country and two words have been added to the pledge of allegiance under God. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer and that would be eliminated from schools too?
[00:31:36] That was the great Red Skelton giving his honor to our nation and to our creator, good stuff from the past. And one thing from the past that we should never ever forget is our liberties
[00:31:53] which do come from God, which should be the foundation for our future as well. Our guest today is William J. Federer, AmericanMinute.com is his website, he is a nationally known speaker best-selling author and president of AmeriSearch Inc.
[00:32:10] and a publishing company dedicated to researching America's noble and wonderful heritage. Welcome back, Mr. Federer. Before the break I was alluding to something that's very important, that in order for our Republic to be truly great again, we often talk about that, make America great again.
[00:32:32] Well, she cannot be great again, she cannot maintain greatness without first beginning once again to make sure that our children are taught properly once again in our schools because what is taught to one generation dictates the direction the nation takes in the next, what's a you?
[00:32:53] Yeah, I use a little example of computers. So you're a spirit mind and body and so your mind is like a super fancy computer. It's more than that but it's at least that. And your body's like the computer case which makes it silly for people to argue
[00:33:08] over what color the computer case is. Imagine if I were to say blue computers are better than green computers. It's like it doesn't matter what color the computer is, what matters, what software is on it.
[00:33:17] It doesn't matter what color your iPhone is, it's what apps are on it. It doesn't matter what color somebody's skin is, it's what behavioral software is running on their brain. Is it love people and turn the other cheek and walk the extra mile
[00:33:29] and do unto others as you have them doing to you? Or is it cancel them, get them to lose their job and so forth. So the battle is who gets to load the software on the next generation's brains?
[00:33:39] And the other side wants to put malware and corrupted files and viruses on their brains and confuse them and it's our job to put God's software on there, right? Love your enemy and love your neighbor and all the rest. So the history is so important.
[00:33:57] One of the things I highlight is the sacrifice that the founders gave. 56 signers of the declaration. 11 had their homes destroyed, 5 were hunted and captured, 17 served in the military, 9 died during the war. 27-year-old George Walton signed the declaration. He was captured at the Battle of Savannah.
[00:34:22] Signer Edward Rutledge, 27 years old. And Thomas Hayward, Jr., 30 years old. Arthur Middleton, 34 years old were captured and made prisoners at the seat of Charleston. 38-year-old Thomas Nelson had his home used as a British headquarters during the siege of Yorktown.
[00:34:40] Nelson reportedly offered five guinnies for the first man to hit his house. Signer Carter Braxton, age 40, lost his fortune during the war. 42-year-old Thomas McKean wrote that he was hunted like a fox by the enemy, compelled to remove my family five times in three months.
[00:34:57] And then 46-year-old Richard Stockton signed and was dragged from his bed at night and jailed. 50-year-old signer Louis Morris had his home taken and used as a barracks. 50-year-old signer Abraham Clark had two sons tortured and imprisoned on the British starving ship Jersey.
[00:35:16] More Americans died on British starving ships than died in battle during the revolution. 53-year-old signer Reverend John Witherspoon, his son James was killed at the Battle of Germantown. 60-year-old Philip Livingston signed. He lost several properties to the British occupation and died before the war ended.
[00:35:37] 63-year-old signer Francis Lewis found out that the British plundered his home, carried away his wife Elizabeth, putting her in prison.
[00:35:46] The British wanted to make her an example of her, so they denied her a change of clothes, denied her a bed and gave her nothing but the most meager food. She was treated so harshly that she died shortly after being released.
[00:36:02] 65-year-old signer of the declaration John Hart had his home looted and had to remain hiding dying before the war ended. 41-year-old John Adams wrote, Posterity, you will never know how much it caused the present generation to preserve your freedom.
[00:36:20] I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.
[00:36:29] And then regarding the declaration John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, I'm apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as a great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as a day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.
[00:36:48] It ought to be solemnized with pomp, parade shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, illuminations from one end of the continent to the other from this time forward forevermore.
[00:36:58] He mentioned solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. Gustav de Beaumont, a contemporary of Alexis de Tocqueville, traveled America and he wrote in 1835,
[00:37:11] I have seen a meeting of the Senate in Washington open with a prayer and the anniversary festival of the Declaration of Independence consists in the United States of an entirely religious ceremony.
[00:37:25] And then John Adams continued his wife, his letter to his wife, he says, you will think me transported with enthusiasm but I'm not.
[00:37:34] I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this declaration and support and defend these states yet through all the gloom. I can see rays of ravishing light and glory.
[00:37:48] I can see that the end is more than worth all the means and that posterity will triumph in that day's transaction even though we should rue it or regret it, which I trust God we shall not.
[00:38:04] 54 year old signer Sam Adams said, we have this day restored the sovereign to whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun let his kingdom come.
[00:38:18] 34 year old James Wilson signed the declaration. He later signed the Constitution and was put on the Supreme Court by George Washington.
[00:38:26] James Wilson stated, after a period of 6000 years since creation, the United States exhibit to the world the first instance of a nation assembling voluntarily and deciding that system of government under which they and their posterity should live. So he says something really unique happened here in America.
[00:38:47] So did Senator Daniel Webster said in 1802, miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6000 years may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.
[00:39:04] Why would there be anarchy throughout the world if the American Constitution failed? Because for 6000 years of recorded human history, you've had people struggling under the thumbs of tyrants.
[00:39:16] Pharaohs, Kaiser, Sultans, Zars, Maharaja, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Tilda and the people would say, gee if only we had a chance to rule ourselves without a king wouldn't that be wonderful?
[00:39:31] And in America we did it. And if we blow it, there's nothing left for the world to look forward to than what? A gang war on a global scale.
[00:39:40] It'll be the gang leader in China versus the gang leader in Russia versus the gang leader in Iran versus North Korea. I mean it's going to be a gang war and human rights are going to be crushed.
[00:39:55] And you know something, we're almost at the end here but we were almost there now. And in fact in some cases this government seems to be a little bit more of a threat.
[00:40:08] This government seems to be worse than other governments around the world. El Salvador for example looks to us as an example and is cleaning its house as I speak. Same thing in Argentina.
[00:40:22] These nations around the world prefer a strong United States of America. I hear from people around the world who say that they pray that we will recover from the position that we're in now as a nation at this coming election.
[00:40:37] Because they, as you just so stated, you know, they realize that if America falters any more than she is now it will be chaos around the world. You've got just a few seconds we don't have them long but how do you respond to that?
[00:40:55] Yeah well that's the globalist great reset. They want to create global crises so that everybody panics and begs the one world government to restore order, you know, have the economy crater and they'll have a CBDC, Central Bank, Digital Currency and Health Crisis surrendered in the World Health Organization.
[00:41:13] So yeah so you have these groups wanting to create crises. Our response is we need to I believe number one, repent and turn back to the Lord but number two get everybody involved instead of sitting back and saying oh it looks really bad.
[00:41:26] No do your part and if all of us can just think locally what can we do to turn our local area around? I think the national scene will take care of itself.
[00:41:34] I finished a new book it's called Silence Equals Consent the Sin of Omission. The subtitle is Speak Now or Forever Lose Your Freedom. And so the same way that you're silent at a wedding ceremony you're giving your consent, well very evil evil's going on in the community right?
[00:41:49] Like maybe abortion, killing babies and you're silent you're giving consent to that.
[00:41:53] If they're teaching a trans agenda at school and you know that Jesus said in the beginning God made the male and female and you're silent you're giving consent to the teaching of something other than what Jesus would teach.
[00:42:04] And Jesus said if you allow one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble better than a male stone we put on your neck. Right so if we're silent when all the evil's going on we're actually supporting it. That's what Martin Luther King Jr. said.
[00:42:19] He said being silent and not protesting evil is cooperating with the evil. So I think that instead of saying well you know it's really bad I'm just going to do nothing. It's like no you show your faith by your works.
[00:42:34] Show what's really in your heart by your actions. Absolutely. Well Mr. Federer I want to thank you so much for joining us again. American Minute dot com. Yeah thank you so much for joining us and happy Independence Day to you and many blessings to you and your endeavors.
[00:42:52] Thank you Ron. Take care. This is the Ron Edwards American Experience Independence Day edition.
[00:43:33] I'm glad you're down Louisiana way. You watched the cold fog drifting over San Francisco Bay. Have you heard a Bob White calling in the Carolina pines or heard the bellow of a diesel in the Appalachian mines?
[00:43:49] Is the call of the Niagara Thrill when you hear her water's roar? With awe and wonder at the Massachusetts shore where men who braved a hard new world first stepped on Plymouth's Rock. Do you think of them when you stroll along a New York City dock?
[00:44:10] Have you seen a snowflake drifting in the Rockies way up high? Have you seen the sun come blazing down from the bright Nevada sky? You hailed of the Columbia as you raced in the sea? Or how your headed Gettysburg? Or struggle to be free?
[00:44:31] Have you seen the mighty Tetons who watched the needles soar? Have you seen the Mississippi roll along Missouri's shore? Have you felt a chill at Michigan when on a winter's day her waters rage along the shore and thunderous display? Is the word aloha make you warm?
[00:44:52] Do you stare in disbelief with me? See the surf come roaring in it. Why am I a rick from Alaska's cold to the Everglades? From the rear grand domain my heart cries out. My pulse runs fast the might of her domain. You ask me why I love her?
[00:45:13] I have a million reasons why. My beautiful America beneath God's wide wide sky. And with ground seem to shine in sea. The best defense is a great defense. Clean sleep. The rootbrands.com forward slash nisi any Icy is a major move in the right direction.

[00:46:55] Hello everybody. It is my happy privilege to introduce God bless America. Let us all be grateful for a less we raise our voices in a solemn and beside her and guide her with a life from above to the ocean. Yes God bless America and may America bless God.
[00:48:37] This is the round ever American experience and we are celebrating America's birthday and we're hoping that she will be restored to greatness. But you know what my friends, we have suffered a long train of abuses and usurpations of our rights which come from God.
[00:48:53] We have stood by while governments, local state and federal and led by both political parties have pushed to reduce us to the victims of other despotism. Yet still most Americans will not even stand up to the illegal acts of their government. Many don't even know that they're illegal.
[00:49:14] We keep hoping and praying that some despot will be nice to us as he or she enslaves us. We act as if one political party or another will come to our rescue.
[00:49:24] We watched as these people have not only turned us against one another but against the very foundations of what makes us free and enjoy liberty which is freedom with responsibility.
[00:49:38] We have elevated those who have tormented us with their hatred into those who have enslaved us with their rules. We are at the point now that every four years we are told the election of a president is the most important election ever.
[00:49:55] But as George Washington warned us my friends, the disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual.
[00:50:09] And sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty.
[00:50:29] This year is no different. Both sides point to the presumptive candidate from the other party and claim they will cause the destruction of our republic.
[00:50:40] The spirit of revenge which is so much a party of party politics has led us to the point where some see only the resolution as a civil war have these abuses not gone long enough.
[00:50:56] Don't you think it's about time that we the people come together and say hey wait a minute this is our land. This is our nation. It is about we the people.
[00:51:06] And we need to reform this nation to be a nation under God. Much of our torment and turmoil comes from the loss of a basic truth founded in the Constitution. A truth so fundamental that it is enshrined in the Constitution of most of our states.
[00:51:28] A truth stated by Thomas Jefferson that all power is inherent in the people that they may exercise it by themselves in all cases to which they think themselves competent.
[00:51:43] A truth contained in the preamble of our Constitution. Let us not forget this. We the people of the United States do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
[00:51:57] That the powers we do not delegate to others we retain for ourselves. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution don't prohibit it by it to the states.
[00:52:11] A reserve to the states respectively or to the people meaning you and I. In short it seems the American people keep looking for someone else to keep them free but the power to do so remains where it has always been in our hearts, in our minds, in our hands.
[00:52:34] Either we're going to grasp on this liberty which comes from God or we will allow it to be taken away from us. The choice is up to you my friends, my fellow Americans.
[00:52:47] Hopefully we will together make the right choice. God bless you, God bless America and may America bless God. And now that I see that my time is up, I certainly thank you for your time. That's all folks.
[00:53:08] And as I always say at this time, remember, pray for your nation, pray for your friends, your family and your enemies and treat others the same way you would want to be treated. I'm Ron Edwards. Until next time my friends, bye now.
