Episode Overview

In this episode, Lance Wallnau delivers a characteristically passionate analysis of contemporary American politics, focusing on the intersection of politics, religion, and culture. He delves into intra-Republican conflicts (mainly the Cornyn vs. Paxton battle), discusses the implications of the religious right's rise, critiques both establishment Republicans and the left, and explores how faith informs American government. The episode also examines U.S. global policy—especially towards Iran—the role of evangelical and Hispanic communities in politics, and offers a look at emerging hot-button issues such as AI regulation and immigration. The tone is direct, combative, and at times, wryly humorous.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Establishment vs. Populist GOP: The Cornyn-Paxton-Trump Triangle

(03:18–08:40)

• Details massive financial investments by establishment Republicans to defeat “MAGA” candidates, interpreting this as fear of the populist base.
• Notable Quote:

  “They put their money into trying to defeat the populist MAGA movement… they can’t wait to get back to business as usual. Remember, they live in six year cycles… Well, normal isn’t going to cut it.” —Lance Wallnau (03:36)

• Observes how low voter turnout in primaries (less than 10%) threatens representative government.

(08:42–15:00)

• Predicts that future elections, specifically in Texas, will hinge on the intersection of faith and politics, noting the left’s attempts to create its own “Christian” candidates.

• Notable Moment:

  “The big mistake he made in a cattle state... endorsing veganism, saying the meat industry is largely responsible for climate change. That’s right. It’s those hamburgers out there. That’s what’s creating global warming, those barbecues.” —Lance Wallnau (11:05)

• Foresees a culture war where religion and politics are “coming to a theater near you.”

  • Biblical roots of common law, justice, and equality are emphasized.
• Notable Quote:

  “You cannot have liberty if you do not have a Christian population.” —Charlie Kirk segment (22:19)

4. The Fragility of America’s Foundations – Internal and External Threats

(22:33–29:11)

7. Immigration, Hispanic Christians, and the Dignity Act

(43:34–51:53)

• Lance shares inside information about declining attendance in Hispanic evangelical churches, attributed to ICE enforcement fears.
• Highlights the dilemma facing law-abiding, faith-oriented undocumented immigrants, many of whom would otherwise support Trump.
• Quotes evangelical leader Sammy Rodriguez, noting the negative impact of quotas and blue state sanctuary policies.
• Outlines the “Dignity Act” as a possible pathway for legal residency (not citizenship) for long-standing undocumented residents.
• Quote:

  “We got a lot of good people getting caught in the net… Even Jesus… you separate the fish into good and bad vessels. You don’t leave them all in one group.” —Lance Wallnau (47:25)

"The truth is church is the safest space in the world." —Sammy Rodriguez, quoted by Lance (50:12)

8. The Rise in Catholic Attendance – A Religious Shift?

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Religion and politics coming to a theater near you. By the way, speaking of that…” —Lance Wallnau (12:45)

One of the reasons we're living through a constitutional crisis is that we no longer have a Christian nation, but we have a Christian form of government.

I heart radio. I want to talk about what the real story is behind the Cornyn Paxton battle. It's the courage of Trump to get behind the underdog and to say, you know, John Cornyn's been in government for like 45 years and hasn't done anything really significant and Texas is far too important a state. Here's the, here's the deal. They put like Washington put like $150 million, $120 million. Not into Senate races where the Senate has a budget. Right. They can, they can invest in whatever they want. They put their money into trying to defeat the populist MAGA movement. This tells you that the establishment Republicans are waiting for Trump to, to leave. Kind of like a, kind of like a tsunami hurricane that'll blow away and they'll be back to, they can't wait to get back to business as usual. Remember, they live in six year cycles. And so, you know, if you're reelected, it's a decade and two years worth of what they call normal. Well, normal isn't going to cut it. That's why we elected Trump. And so the Thune and the Tillers and the Corny, when Trump endorsed Paxton, he, he dropped a grenade into the old boys Senate club and infuriated them. That's the reason why you're seeing them putting the brakes on everything Trump wants to do. And they're, they're going to fold their arms and say, we'll show you where the power is because this is the way government always works. Very seldom does a sitting president pick a fight with his marginal majority in the Senate because he needs them to work with him. But Trump's not that kind of guy. He says, no, no, no, no. You know, my movement and my base is way too important. They're going to put $150 million or something into destroying one MAGA conservative candidate. What does that tell you? That tells you they're afraid of what Paxton represents. I do not know how this is going to go because only 10%. What a disappointment. 10% of registered voters show up at primaries. What in the world? You almost don't deserve to have a government when Only less than 10% of the people stand up and inconvenience themselves to go find a polling booth and go vote for representation. It's really quite amazing when you think about it. Anyway, so Cornyn expressed his worry that the Democrats have found somebody. Now, this is hilarious. Who they found. See, they've watched the power of Trump with the evangelical, the Christian voting bloc. They can't. Nobody quite knows who we are, what we are. All they know is that man, he's got them galvanized. And we're going to do the same thing. You watch. We'll. We'll borrow his playbook and we're going to have a Christian seminary graduate talking Christianese, only one of our guys. And that's how we'll balance it. That's how it shows how ignorant they are. If you're going to do that, you got to pick a Christian. You can't pick somebody who's a nut job, who calls himself a Christian. Sorry if that offends people, but, I mean, you can only go by what, a guy's doctrine. What does he believe? Well, Cornyn says, man, I'm the best guy to defeat him. And Paxton can't defeat him. He's got too much baggage. If he wins, it's going to go. All the money in the country is going to come. All the money in the country is going to come to Texas anyway. Because these are like this, like the mayor race in Los Angeles or the Massey Congressional race. These become national because they pit Trump against the establishment and the left. And that's where they're waiting to see if Trump has the clout to pull it off with Paxton. Because that's what scares them, that he's got Napoleon's old guard out here. He doesn't know who we are, but they keep showing up. So they got Talarico. The reason why I'm bringing this up right now, regardless, a day before the election results, is because whoever wins, catch this. The talking point is that this next race is going to pit religion and government at the center of the debate. Just get ready for it, folks. I knew the church was Going to end up coming off the sidelines and having to show up eventually. But all summer, the left has finally figured out it needs its own Christian movement. So this is the guy they picked up. But here's what you need to know about him. He's. So far, the money's in there on him. But where's my notes? Here, I have notes. I prepare in events. Okay, here we go. Tellarico, he's won his primary mostly by not being Jasmine Crockett. So that was a radical little county. Right? So remember Jasmine. Well, she lost, thank the Lord. And. But he's the. He's the keys. The is the lesser of two evils, or the evil of two lessers is what they might say. Once the GOP has its candidates set, you're going to see more ads that tell Texans who Talarico is and what he believes. One ad that just went viral shows clips of Talarico with his. His Christian message. Ready for this one? God is non binary. There are six biological genders, which I think is cutting off around 20 of them as they're taught in, you know, major universities. What he cares most about? What do you really care most about? I care about the struggling trans kids, you know, the boys that think they're girls, the girls that think they're boys. Who's there for them? I mean, helping them transition. He's. He's big. He's big on the southern border. Really needs to be a welcome mat. He really thinks that we ought to be welcoming the world in. And worst of all, this is the funny part, the big mistake he made in a cattle state. I mean, we're known for what? Oil and cattle. We're Texans, right? Cowboys. So this is a big meat state. This is the big cattle state. He really is endorsing veganism, saying the meat industry. Get this. Largely responsible for climate change. I don't know. Cow flatulence. Where's his argument? But it's that meat industry. That's right. It's those hamburgers out there. That's what's creating global warming, those barbecues. So only recently he's. And Trump, of course, seized on that. He could have seized on the non binary. Trump doesn't get into the religious stuff like that, but he basically went on a video trashing Talarico over tacos, classic Trumpian fashion. He's on video denouncing the meat industry. He says a state built on ranching, saying his campaign is meatless. He's plugging the vegan restaurant that's catering it. Trump goes Right after him over the. The taco problem. Anyway, it will be a religion, government debate. It's coming, folks. I mean, I don't want to be the front line on that one. Who wants to do that? We got good people out there that'll do it, but that's where it's going to be. You're going to see more and more about religion and politics. You may not like those two subjects. You know, when I grew up, two things we don't discuss at the table. Lance, religion and politics. Well, guess what? Religion and politics coming to a theater near you. By the way, speaking of that, we've had some pushback over our. The Congress. The second gathering of Congress in 1776, May 17, declared a day of national humiliation, prayer and fasting. Humiliation means humble yourself, pray and fast, and seek God for mercy. Our second Continental Congress gathering said, you've got to do that, America. And so they did that. Trump said at the 250th, let's re celebrate and commit ourselves to what the original congressional members, the founding Fathers, said. We need this. This was before we came up with our Constitution, which We celebrate in July 4th and in May 17th. They were struggling about what they were going to do. Let's pray, let's pray. Let's ask God for help. Oh, no. The modern American left and news media, secularist and uninformed Americans, consider this whole idea of rededicating our nation to God, like the founders recommended. They think that's an overreach of government. Oh, yes. So they're complaining because this religious liberty thing is getting out of control. And the ignorance. I mean, you would think that they would know not to step in, step on this rake, but to say government gives you your freedom, not God. That was the whole point. The whole premise of the Declaration of Independence was that these rights are derived from God, not from government. That all governments are accountable to a higher power. And if the government becomes the ultimate power, it becomes tyranny. Every government, every university, every individual has to subordinate himself to a higher standard. That higher standard is an all loving, all holy, all righteous God who holds men accountable in life and judges them in death. It produces a wholesome effect on society. When the fear of God and reverence for righteousness is instilled in you. You're got a little policeman in your head, your conscience, saying, this is right, this is wrong, and it helps to guide behavior. If you lose the fear of God, you become a lawless, anarchy, pagan, hedonistic society where everyone does whatever they want, which is largely why America is in the debt crisis it's in and in the moral depravity that it's wrestling with right now. But lest I get carried away, let's go here from Speaker Johnson in the National Mall. He makes comments because he represents government and he was talking about, you know, God. Of course, you'd have the speaker of the House there. He came to the dedication and. And they're attacking him for confusing the issue as to where our rights come from. Let's go ahead and play the Katie Tour.

[Mercedes]

What about this passage from Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not derive from government, they come from you, our creator and heavenly Father. Is this him putting God over the declaration of independence? McKay?

[Lance Wall]

Well, you know, I actually think that that idea is not wholly uncommon. I mean, the idea that we have certain inalienable rights that come from God can be read in a fairly benign way, which is basically that we have innate human rights that our Constitution and our government, our democratic government are meant to codify. Right. That idea is not totally abnormal. I think that the thing that, you know, might alarm some people is some of the rhetoric that we heard at this rally that we are in a spiritual battle. Right. That the forces of good and evil are at work here and that that partisan politics is injected directly into the spiritual biblical rhetoric. We have heard that for the last couple of years. It's been ratcheted up more and more, especially since Donald Trump lost in 2020. And it can lead to some pretty dangerous places if it's not. Did you catch that? First of all, I love the expression on all their faces because I think what they're saying to themselves is, katie, I can't believe you cue up a volleyball that says, don't you think it's dangerous when people start saying that God has. Is the ultimate authority even over human governments? And they're like, you really want us to join you on that one? Because they're smarter than her. They recognize she doesn't know what she's talking about. Yes. Our government is submitted to a concept of God and that God was a Christian God concept from the Great Awakening with George Whitefield all the way through. Matter of fact, I said I wasn't going to play it again. I'm going to play the Charlie Kirk clip when we get back because Charlie got some notes from Dave Barton and some other guys and he ate it up. Because Americans like Katie Tour are just ignorant. All right, we'll be right back.

Have a great day. Iheartradio this is the result of the education, secular education that has been taking God out of schools, God out of college. But something's going to fill the vacuum. And what filled the vacuum is progressive lunacy and the idea that God is irrelevant and that you know and that human rights is what we're really talking about. Where?

[Mercedes]

What?

[Lance Wall]

Where in the world are you going to appeal to a higher Power that endorses your definition of human rights. What do you mean by that? And where does, and where's the moral authority behind your human right? Unless there's something that transcends the dictator or the government that says you don't have a human right. I have the. I give you the authority to define. Like in China, they'll tell you what your human right is. All right, so Charlie points out the 13 colonies that came together to become a United States, each had a government. They operated as separate nations. You understand the problem. We had 13 little countries and, and they, but then when they declared war with Great Britain, the problem was they came back to running like 13 independent little nations. They had to consolidate for a couple of reasons. One, they needed an economy, a currency, a way to pay the soldiers that fought for seven years that still needed to get paid. Hamilton's there with Washington saying we gotta put these, these, these, these separate colonies into a United States. We need a federal government that has some connection, that unites us all. And Washington of course saw that this has to advance. But while they were putting this together, each state had, in its independent status, had its own charter. And guess what? Every one of them acknowledged Christ in their charter. Imagine that the 13 colonies all had a Christian ultimate authority over their own little nation of Virginia or Georgia or Rhode island even. All right, watch this. Our country was found on common law because the Declaration only refers to God

[Martha Stewart]

four times and the Constitution doesn't refer

[Lance Wall]

to God at all and it only

[Martha Stewart]

articulates the structure of government.

[Mint Mobile Announcer]

So first of all, remember that we were a collection of states and colonies and you need to read the state constitutions before anything else. Nine out of 13 of the original states required you to be a Bible believing Christian to serve in government. At the time of the founding, all 1313 required a declaration of faith. Nine out of 13 required you to be a Protestant. Except Maryland which was Catholic, which still required a declaration of faith. Almost every single one of the original state constitutions, Pennsylvania included, they had I profess Lord and Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in the original state constitutions. You remember a collection of states before that. Secondly, 55 out of 56 of the original signers of the Declaration were Bible believing church attending Christians. So common law is inherited from Blackstone who was Christian. A common law is an outgrowth of the Scriptures. So let's go to three principles of common law. Presumption of innocence, due process, injury of your peers. All three are biblical principles wrapped into the ultimate biblical principle that you shall not favor justice if you are richer or poor. Which is in Leviticus 19, right before. Most famous part of Leviticus 19, which is that you should love your neighbor as yourself. But before that is that in the administration of justice you shall not favor the rich or the poor, which is the idea of blind justice. We get that in the west, which is incorporated also in the New Testament ideal. Neither slave nor Greek nor Jew, you're all one in Jesus Christ, which we have the idea of human equality. These are all biblical ideas. They're not Enlightenment ideas, which is, they kind of get conflated at the time. But more importantly than that, they say that God was only mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence. Well, that's a big deal. Okay. Laws of nature and nature's God. The last paragraph of the Declaration reads as a prayer. It says, we appeal to the supreme judge of the universe. Who's the judge of the universe? Jesus Christ, as it says in Revelation that Jesus will judge the earth on his throne. So in the Declaration they were praying to Christ our Lord as a prayer. Very specifically. Thirdly, as I said on stage yesterday, Deuteronomy was by far the most quoted book, religious or non religious, in the time of the founding, when they were putting together the Constitution. More than John Locke, more than Montesquieu, more than Blackstone. The book of Deuteronomy, which talked about laws, customs, traditions. It was Moses farewell address as he's about to say goodbye. Say hey, good luck in Canaan, guys. Here's how you should set up your form of government. But finally, and most importantly, let's look at actually what the founders said. John Adams famously said the Constitution was only written for a moral religious people. It was wholly inadequate for the people of any other. The body politic of America was so Christian and was so Protestant that our form and structure of government was built for the people that believed in Christ our Lord. One of the reasons we're living through a constitutional crisis is that we no longer have a Christian nation, but we have a Christian form of government. And they're incompatible. So you cannot have liberty if you do not have a Christian population.

[Lance Wall]

Well, so you heard him say that 9 out of 13 all had a, a church or a Christian faith that was embraced by the state. And all of them required a declaration of faith from someone running for public office. How's that? Maryland was Catholic. A lot of Catholic immigration came over. So they were, they were, they embraced the Catholic Church. But that tells you that the colonies themselves were, were marinated in this, in the strength of the first and second Great Awakenings. And it was part of the, the worldview that shaped the debate they had when they had prayer offered daily and when they gathered in Congress, they opened with a different pastor coming in to lead them in prayer so that they could apprehend the mind of God. It was a Christian pastor that came in, wasn't a Buddhist monk, it certainly wasn't a Muslim imam. It was pastors that came in anyway. I say that. And of course, immediately people's minds go, yeah, well, that was then, this is now. Well, here we go. You know, the, the great Francis Schaeffer, years ago, a great Christian philosopher scholar, had an illustration of the Roman bridges. And the Roman bridges were during World War I. They found a problem, that the Roman bridges were built in order to withstand the weight of what would be weapons and commerce at that time. But they found that the bridges collapsed under the weight of trucks and tanks. And Francis Schaeffer made the point that the foundation of a nation determines the weight of what it can handle. And for us to be the world's superpower, to be able to have an economy that is one fourth of the globe's commerce or 30% of the globe's activity, to be able to sustain a world order that is based on suppressing Iran, having a nuclear weapon, or China suddenly making, taking over other countries and with a belt and road initiative and making them subservient to the communist state, you have to have a nation that can withhold the anarchy and can maintain a structure for the flourishing and stability of the world. America doesn't have the foundation to long endure that. And we're doing a great experiment now with Donald Trump. But when you've got 32, $34 trillion of debt, that's a lack of self control. No one has the courage to curb it and bring it in. Eventually, our inability to handle our blessing and our prosperity will prove to be the collapse of that foundation. What we're doing now is we're, we're gambling, you might say, on the fact that a providential leader like Trump can't, can't address the cutbacks that are necessary to survive as a nation economically. But he is trying to bring in as much investment as he can, trillions of dollars. And he sees the unleashing the energy potentiality of America which the, which the Democrats were killing in their environmental insanity, and to make us a full spectrum dominant energy force so that in our hemisphere from Venezuela all the way through to North America, we can take care of ourselves. Trump took care of the Panama Canal, got China off of that stranglehold on the Panama Canal. How long will this last? How long will America be able to preserve itself? Well, that's why we pray for this president. They had a nut job the other day show up at the White House to try to kill him. And of course, this doesn't get in the news. It's so common that the left, and I say the left because if you're trying to kill Trump, it's not because you're supporting him as a MAGA evangelical, that's for sure. So this strange culture of violence and the way in which they label who he is just tells you that we have still got a job to do. Of course, political job is maintain control of those mechanisms of freedom that we've got so that we don't let the left come back in and impose their shutdown on American freedoms, which is what they basically did with COVID what they did with dei, what they, what they did with their. The race car that they play. Discombobulate our economic infrastructure. Trump is doing the best he can to try to get ahead of the problem by inviting investment in America and restoring the engine of manufacturing and push China back from its invasion of American manufacturing. He's done a remarkable job, but we're still dancing on a bubble. You need to know that how fragile the world order is, which is what keeps me up, praying for the United States, for a great awakening. Because I do believe that if we have the spiritual resilience to be able to handle the pressure of the, of the, of the turning, that we're in this crucible of, Of a revolution, if you will, of getting back on a solid foundation of moral consciousness, of moral governance, where we keep the government itself from being seized by ungodly anarchists who have their own Marxist worldview to impose on the masses. We have to keep fighting. We have to keep. That's what brought people like us out of the Christian, you know, church mountain over here to realize they're invading the church mountain. They're taking over family, they're taking over education, they're taking over the corporate boardrooms, they're imposing their ideology on the rest of us. You better wake up and start to push back. Trump is the instrument of providence that is supervising that pushback. But I want you to know that it's a battle that we are in every day. I got one minute left here, and I got some stuff I want to talk about. What's happening with Iran. I want to cover this. Trump is now reducing this to a saying, no dust, no dollars. Iran is saying, and they're very shrewd. Remember, these are the people that invented chess, the Persians. And they're saying, we believe we've found your weak point. If we can touch your inflation, your economy and the price of gas, it will so cripple America's love of prosperity that we'll put the squeeze on you economically. It's going to cost you something. Because we are Al Qaeda and we are a state government. Al Qaeda. And we want that nuke. We want a 911 with a nuclear tip weapon that we could bring over to the United States and over to Israel. And Trump is saying, not on my watch. And he's, he's putting a stranglehold on them fiscally and economically, and he believes that he can outlast them. The American people need to be patient. Well, what about gas prices? That's not the issue right now. The issue right now is you've got to keep the Al Qaeda government from getting the nuclear dust that is already prepared to be packed into a warhead, from being able to say, oh, we'll stop, we'll stop. Buy time. Meanwhile, try to find a weapon they could deliver. One on Tel Aviv and the other one in the United States. That's what Trump sees. We'll be right back. All right, here we are beginning our next block here on the Real America's Voice channel. But for those of you that are watching the daily podcast, this is the official opening segment for another day. But I, I was just finishing up in my last segment. The Iran situation or Iran situation. I never know quite what to call it. Iran or Iran. I do both interchangeably because I'm from the Northeast. I really don't know how to pronounce these words. But the. Here's the part that I want you to get. Pompeo and Cruz both came out. Mike Pompeo, you know, had formerly had a lot of clout with. He was a CIA director, Secretary of state, and Trump's first administration. We had big roles, but he made a big mistake. He endorsed the possibility of impeachment for Trump. I think he said if he's, if he's dealt improperly with Iran documents after the Mar? A Lago raid, then he is, then he deserves to be. Blah, blah. It was the wrong thing to do, you might say. It was a guy who keeps his eye on the presidential aspiration he has to run for office and was kind of trying to tack into the winds of being loyal, but also observer of law and big mistake, because Trump said, you're out. That's disloyalty in Trump's world, and he doesn't forget it. So Pompeo is sitting there saying it'd be a bad idea to do a deal with Iran. Everybody knows you can't trust Iran. Everybody knows that. Like I said, I'm not even calling them the Revolutionary Guard of the origin. They're Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda has a state like Hamas was the government in Gaza. It's a terrorist regime. Okay. However, Trump doesn't need these guys on the side while he's negotiating his deal and putting all the incentives together in this fragile package he's trying to get. So the Strait of Hormuz opens up, and he's trying to unify all the Arab nations and in collective agreement, so they can. Oh, they're all afraid individually of exciting their Muslim fanatical base of, you know, aligning with the Jews or with the United States. So they all got to kind of play a careful game with their own. With their own religious groups. Right? So they have to do it all together so that they're not alone. They're all going to. He's getting them all to have the courage to sign the Abraham accords, like 2.0 with. With saying, hey, let's make this a stable, peaceful region. He's. He's creating what the United nations should do, which is represent the governments in a collective agency. That is. That is helpful. He's saying, forget the U.N. you guys are really sucky. I'm going to put together my own coalition in these. In the Middle east, he's creating his own United nations. In the Middle East. Nobody's said that, but it's obvious. So he turns around and says to. To Pompeo and Cruz, he sends a messenger to say, just shut up, will you? Talk about a rude awakening. Shut up. And then he goes, as he always does. You guys got to tell me, what was it? 1:10pm no, it wasn't in the morning. I know. I look at the hour of the day when he does these tweets because he's. If he's really ventilating, it's the 1am tweet. These were done in the afternoon. I laugh at all the Democrats. And he just really. He's not doing anything to build bridges with the Democrat left or a lot of people. I laugh at the Democrats and the Rhinos and the fools who know nothing about the potential deal I'm making with Iran. Things that haven't even been negotiated yet. Weak and ineffective people like Senator Failed Senator Thom Tillis soon out of office. Bill Cassidy, who just suffered a massive primary loss. Really bad. Congressman Thomas Massie, a major sleazebag who lost on a landslide to a great American patriot who was endorsed by Trump, by the way. That's what he says. I don't even have to ad lib with him. I just read his stuff. After showing tremendous disloyalty to his party and his country and almost all Democrats, people that have totally lost their way, they're constantly supporting bad policy and even worse candidates, they're constantly critical of each and every fantastic win I have. These people should just go home and rest. They do nothing but create division. And in other words, they are losers. The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one or there will be no deal. It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster which was the one negotiated by failed Obama administration. It was a direct path, an open path for a nuclear weapon for Iran. I don't do deals like that. President djt. So he's trying to say, I understand the risks here, guys. For all I know, Trump just wants to get the economic engine roaring. He wants to get the oil passing through. And then if Iran continues to play games after the midterms, I think you might see part two where he says that's it and he goes back in. But at that point he's in a different position where the midterms is going to be affected. But then I look at this rather long tweet text post. I'm going to read you the highlights of this one. Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely. Will only be a great deal for all or no deal at all. Back to the battlefront and shooting. But bigger and stronger than ever before. I love how he's his own ambassador. Used to be the State Department would deliver the message and the President would not say anything. He delivers his own. He delivers his own policy by basically by tweets. He just says, there's my policy. He just puts it out there. He's totally rewritten the laws of engagement. He goes during my discussions on Saturday with President Mohammed bin Salman of Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed al Nayen of the United. He mentions all the names. Everybody likes to hear their name. Men. You ever notice the Dale Carnegie principle? Everybody likes to hear their name. I got to do that more. Mercedes, thanks for joining us today.

[Mercedes]

Happy to be here.

[Lance Wall]

You know, when I'm speaking, I notice good speakers do that. They do shout outs to people in the audience. He's doing it all the time. And look at the. He's made by name, everybody he talks about on the phone because it makes them all remember. They all do photo ops so they make them feel important.

[Mercedes]

Listen, did you. I, I was catching. As you're reading it. I'm reading it here on truths and I don't know what you call it. A truth. I don't know if you call it a tweet, if you call it a truth, what you call it. But I think he's listening to Lance Wall now because. Did you see the one from 9 hours ago? Historian and far beyond that, Victor Davis Hansen is great. All capitals. That's all I have to say. There's no further explanation needed. A fantastic man, President djt. Is he listening to Lance?

[Lance Wall]

I'm quite sure that he is. You know, he's.

[Mercedes]

We said we were talking about him last week in the last lesson.

[Lance Wall]

Well, because, because he, because he's got it. He's. I keep telling you guys, he's Gamaliel. Pray for his health. We need Gamaliel. Anyway, so, so I want you to catch this part here. He says. So I'm mentioning all these names. Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain and Turkey. Mentions all the leaders. You don't need to know their names. I stated that after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all these countries, at a minimum, simultaneously sign onto the Abraham Accords. Why? Those countries discussed your Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Oil Emirates, already a member. Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain, already a member. It might be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so. He's saying, and that will be acceptable. But most should be ready and willing and able to make the settlement with Iran a far more historic event than it would be otherwise be because the Abraham Accords have proven to be for the countries involved. I'm talking to you now. United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, Kazakhstan. A financial and economic and social boom, capital letters. Even during this time of conflict and war, with the current members never even suggesting leaving or taking so much as even a pause, meaning they haven't backed up from me. Notice they're still with me. Even with the, Even with the conflict with Iran. They're not. They're not coming out against me. The reason for this is the Abraham Accords have been great for them. It'll be even better for every. See what Trump is doing if you read this, he is bringing together a political boa constrictor around the radicals of Iran saying not one country is going to work with you, with your agenda. We're going to isolate you. In fact, he makes this unusual statement. I mean, why doesn't Iran just join it? Why don't they join the Abraham Accord? Let's stop trying to kill the Jews. Wouldn't that be helpful? Therefore, I love this line. Only. Only a Cyrus Trump. Oh, I know. People go crazy when I say it. Only a Cyrus type leader who God has his hand on at a time like this, I don't think we'll ever have a president could say this line. I am mandatorily, I am mandating that all countries immediately sign. He's telling them, sign the document. And if Iran signs its agreement with me as President of the United States of America, it'd be an honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled world coalition. The Middle east should be united, powerful and economically strong like perhaps no other area anywhere in the world. What's he doing? He's balancing China out with him and his coalition in the Middle East. That's a fascinating proposition. This guy is very rare. The Middle east would be united and powerful, economically strong. And by copy of this truth, he's calling it a tweet. Not a tweet, but a truth. And by the copy of this truth, I am asking my representatives to begin and succeed, successfully complete the process of signing these countries into the already historic Abraham Accords. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Every world ruler just got the. I'm mandating. Let's all sign. Let's do. It's almost like the colonies signing at one time. The clock rings and everyone signs. Now what does it do? It consolidates a political peace for economic purposes, which is. Trump's a business guy. He's saying, look, war is bad for business. Iran is a destabilizing element. And I'll unite all these colonies together in a new accord. How long will that last? Well, you guys that are students of biblical eschatology know that eventually there's going to be another situation in the Middle East. But it could be that this is God's way of creating a freezing of hell's agenda for the sake of what the Bible calls God's end time harvest, which is the gospel, can go forth unimpeded, unharassed in the nations. And I really do believe that if they don't do this deal, and I don't think they want to, I don't think Iran wants it. I think, first of all, they're Fanatical, if you understand their ideology. They want World War 3. They want a nuclear weapon. And so here's the interesting thing. 55 seconds left. While this is going on, Hezbollah is getting nailed by. And Hamas had a leader taken out in Gaza by Israel. Israel also struck into Lebanon. Hamas and to Hezbollah into their turn because Iran's proxies, Iran's tentacles, their terrorist networks have all been told do as much damage as possible because they want the fight to continue. But bam, bam. They don't have the military capacity to win. So they're getting knocked down. Knocked down. Then Rubio says, yeah, we had to. We had to do some military action here. Why? Because these nut jobs are out trying to mine the Strait of. They send out ships to go drop mines. And so Rubio said, you know, I got the green light from the boss. Take them out. So we bombed some missile sites. We saw them setting up, and we saw some ships that are doing bad stuff. We took them out while we're negotiating for peace. You want to keep praying, folks? It's a very interesting time. We'll be right back. All right, so we've got lots of things to cover. And I want to cover the AI Bill. It was right on Trump's desk and he froze it because, you know, if you watch Steve Ben of War Room and a lot of these. My bandwidth includes all our MAGA podcast people and Mercedes, you know, there's a lot of anxiety over, over the control of this AI. Oh, no. And for good reason. I'm going to go. I don't know if I can cover that today. I might have to do it tomorrow. Just letting you know, Trump was about to sign the document, all the CEOs, but. And the document would have been for some degree of accountability and regulation on AI because it's scary. Because what happens is this genie, once it's out of the bottle, can be under the control of any government. With Trump, at least I have a reasonable expectation that he can constrain it. But America isn't going to put him in for six years to manage that. He's got 24 months after midterms, and then who knows what happens? But we'll talk about the AI threat. And you can. Matter of fact, Mercedes, why don't you read these things here? I'm going to give you these documents. Come on over. I'm going over, coming over on the set. I want you to read these, but hand them back. Because it educates people as to what Trump was about to sign and what. And why he didn't sign it and why we're in this fragile moment with what's going to get and it's Zuckerberg and Elon Musk called him and said,

[Mercedes]

please, are you literally, you're lying too, of this document. Keep going.

[Lance Wall]

I, I, I, I, I, I, I. Let me talk about something else. This is important for, for the next couple of minutes. And this is what's happening within the our community. What is not, you know, let me tell you a little, I want to say it's a little gossip, but it's a little inside news here. The, the Hispanic Christian community has been a huge part of helping to support the Latino vote for Trump because to a great extent, the Hispanic community, they have strong family values. A lot of them have Catholic backgrounds, but they have a God orientation. And one of the problems we have is I've got some data here and it's a little alarming that I'll just read it to you because 25 to 30% of, of the Hispanic vote that traditionally has showed up for Donald Trump is not supporting him. And they're not, they're not showing up. And we've got a lot of the Hispanic pastors that are part of Trump's orbit and they're, I talk to them and they go, hey, man, our churches are down by like 30% because I guess we must have in our 30 or 40 million illegals in the country, the high number of people that have been here for, for seven to 10 or 15 or 20 years that are Christian and conservative in values and they're afraid that ICE will deport them. So in our own orbit, guys, we have these people and the pastors are saying their church attendance, which for these small churches, the 200, 150, 275, it's hurtful when you lose 25 to 40% of your congregation because they're afraid that ice is going to show up at church because the left has said that. Now, Sammy Rodriguez, who's an evangelical Trump advisor, he's saying, go to church. ICE isn't going to be showing up at any church service. But, but he's got a difficult role here. Let me read you what he's saying here. Some churches in, in the his network are seeing Sunday attendance drop by 25 to 35% because of the irrational fear of immigration raids. Other leaders and immigrant congregations throughout the US have reported drops in Sunday attendance. And in my conversations with the White House, with members of Congress and so forth, Rodriguez says there's a constant affirmation that the priority is deporting the criminal element. The problem is 25 to 30% that are being deported are not the criminal element. And they're the direct result of daily quotas of 3,000 deportation. 3,000 is a drop in the bucket. When you got 10 million, you're trying to get out over the last at least 10 million from the Biden era of come on in, everybody. So Rodriguez says, therefore, to meet the quota, they got to, they got to arrest people. And here's a point that he makes which is interesting. The data at the time shows that 36% of arrests have no criminal record. They're simply here without the process of appropriate assimilation. Rodriguez suggests that hypothetically speaking, if they have to reach a 2500 a day quota and that they're trying to get criminals and gang bangers and pedophiles and rapists and drug dealers out. The problem is, and listen to this, this is so true. This is so true. Nobody's talking about it. The blue states which have the pedophile gang bangers, rapists, drug dealers, all in their cities won't cooperate with Trump or the ICE officials. They won't even give him access to the prisons where we're paying for illegal criminals to be. To be supported by us. The jails are protecting them, so they have to find the additional to meet the quota of what they've got to do, because they got 3,000 a day they got to do, and that's their job. Now, I'm not, not that I'm affirming that. I'm not celebrating that because the places that have the concentration of evil are blocking ICE agents from access. They won't go to church to take anybody, but they can't get into where the bad boys are. So he says this, so you guys got to look it up. I don't want to start World War Three here, but the pastors and the Christians are saying, please go look at one immigration reform act known as the Dignity Act. Now I'll get a whole lot of fiery red, you know, fiery MAGA people saying no dignity acts if they're illegal, get them out of the country. But I'm telling you, we got a lot of good people getting caught in the net. Even Jesus talked in the parable, you drop the net over and you separate the fish into good and bad vessels. You don't, you don't, you don't leave them all in one group. So he's saying the Dignity Act. Now we got to. We'll take a look at this in a further broadcast. What does the Dignity act basically do. What it does is it allows these pastors, like they have to say, we've got people that are good citizens. By the way, Trump would support it. He gets attacked ferociously by the MAGA fire breathers the moment he says, we got a lot of agricultural workers here, guys. We got a lot of people that are working in the casino industries My friends are telling me about. They're good people, they're even conservative, but they're afraid of. And these industries actually benefit by these people. But oh no, our hardliners want everybody out, which is not happening anyway. But this act would allow, hey, you can't be a citizen, you can't vote, but you can at least be a legal resident in the United States for seven years and we review your situation and you pay a little fine for some sneaking through. But there's a vetting process and that would allow a sigh of relief for all the legitimate folks. I get that there's going to be a whole lot of reaction to this, but this is the problem. We have to have some hard conversations because our Christian community is telling me that when you have a suppressed support from a group that wants to vote for Trump but doesn't know if he's a friend or an adversary and Trump wants them to vote for him and support him, we need that. So we're going to look into that. I might have Sammy Rodriguez on to make the argument for it. He says the truth is church is the safest space in the world. There's no safer space than church. We need to come together and believe that the God of the impossible, who changes hearts and minds of leaders in the Old Testament and the New Testament will do it again. God doesn't change. His Holy Spirit's moving. There's a moment, there's an opportunity here. I think probably after the midterms there might be a chance for, for weighing in on this. Mercedes, you got any thoughts on that? Which you bring Sammy on, don't you think?

[Mercedes]

Yeah, I think Sam would be a great addition to the program. I also think a great addition to the program. I'm just thinking I'm overthinking.

[Lance Wall]

Victor Hansen.

[Mercedes]

Yeah, of course. Victor Hansen. That too. That too. Will Grundoon get on it? Taking the Grundoon famous from two weeks ago. If you're a Lance follower, I think we should do questions. I think we should have a call in show. I think people should call in like Rush and you answer questions and in the short term they can go to asklantenow.com. and poor Claire is going to get a bunch of questions from people. Because I think, Lance, you are one of the unique people out there that could take a question live and rattle off an answer. The amount of things from everything you've talked about here to AI that you have to be up to date on it is Rush level intelligence and whimsy. And I just think the world needs it. I just think it would be fun to have. So that's my pitch.

[Lance Wall]

I'm certainly open to the phone calls being open on Open Mic Friday when people. That's when Rush did Open Mic Friday.

[Mercedes]

That's what I'm saying.

[Lance Wall]

I think we should have open Mic Friday and go ahead and let the people have a voice, I think.

[Mercedes]

So in the short term, you know what you could do? You go to asklantenow.com and ask your question. I just put like probably Ask Lance in the subject line so Claire can flag it and find it.

[Lance Wall]

Ask Lance.

[Mercedes]

Ask Lance. Or how about this? If you want to record a video, if you like being on camera, you record a video and just put, you know, hashtag Ask Lance in the video title on YouTube and we'll search for it. Something else will can do in his spare time.

[Lance Wall]

Well, one thing I want to say regarding these, the statistics here. Latino evangelical attendance is reportedly down 25 to 30% because of immigration enforcement. I've covered that. That goes right to the family and church or religion mountain. My seven mountain thesis. Those seven mountains are always the institutional battlefronts for the war between heaven and hell. But Catholic conversions, this is weird. They're up 38% now. It's not Catholic conversions. Their. Their Catholic attendance is up 38% in 2026 versus 2025 per the Hallow app aggregate doubling in LA Tallahassee and Tulsa. Young men are leading this transition in Tallahassee.

[Mercedes]

Tallahassee, Florida.

[Lance Wall]

Tallahassee, Florida, that young men are turning to the Catholic Church. And I think it's because the Michael Knowles and the guy that plays Jesus, you know, in the Chosen is a Catholic and people are watching the Chosen and they're going to follow him. And he's promoting the Hallow app, which I guess is. The Hallow app, is a Catholic app, prayer app.

[Mercedes]

I think the young people want authentic land. I think the commercialization. I love my church. I love it. But it's so predictable. It's like you've got the worship set.

[Lance Wall]

Oh, wait, the Catholic Church is totally predictable. The Catholic Church is totally predictable.

[Mercedes]

Oh, it's sacred. It's an experience it feels holy.

[Lance Wall]

Hey, I want to thank Rav once again for having me on. Thanks to Rob Sig and all the guys who put me on. Don't forget, you can go to LanceWellett.com podcast because I'm on one day a week here. But every day you can catch what we're talking about on the podcast. See you again next week.
