We will not embrace the idea that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Truth is very important to me. Pursuing truth is a huge part of who I am and what I stand for. When you look around at what's happening to our country, you can see why many people are experiencing real frustration with the news media, along with feelings of uncertainty and a lack of hope for the future. How can we know which is true and where or in whom we can place our trust? The only place I've found unwavering truth and peace is my faith in Jesus Christ. If 2020 has beaten down your spirit, I'd like to recommend a book called Reflections on the Existence of God by best selling author Richard Simmons iii.

Former White House aide Wallace Henley says, I've taught apologetics for many years and have read many scholars. Every scholar mentioned in this book, of all books on apologetics, Simmons is the best I've ever heard. If you want to challenge yourself to spiritual intellectual growth, then be willing to ask yourself life's toughest questions. I challenge you right now.

All right. So let's get right to the news of the we have breaking over the evening. It looks as if there was a story that's really gone viral of thousands of National Guardsmen forced to vacate the Capitol. I am reading from Politico. We feel incredibly betrayed. And I read, quote, yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines, taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed. There was outcry from both political parties. Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer said, quote, if this is true, it's outrageous. I will get to the bottom of this. And Tom Cotton also followed with condemnation. The question is how did this happen in the first place? And also we are not going to do what the media would do if Donald Trump was president, but let's just pretend that Donald Trump was president and this happened. If Donald Trump was president and there were thousands of National Guardsmen in a parking garage, this would be not just the number one story. There would be massive repudiation and condemnation from every single news outlet and Donald Trump would have been forced to comment on this already. To date right now, President Biden has not commented, to the best of my knowledge, on what has happened with these National Guard members that have been put in the parking garage. Congressman Madison Cawthorn, a friend of the show and a friend of mine visited the National Guard members last evening. And that video has over 1 million views on Twitter. And so the question should just first and foremost be why are they still in Washington D.C. if you do not have the facilities, if you do not have the places for them to sleep, to house them, and there is not a clear and present threat in Washington, D.C. why are these people exactly here? 5,000 troops in one Senate garage with two stalls for a bathroom and one electrical outlet. I'd love to see how they decided who got that one electrical outlet. 5,000 troops just there. There are still over 20,000 troops in Washington, D.C. why? Well, the answer, they say, is because of what happened on January the sixth. Compensating to this over the top degree does not change what happened on January 6th. I understand maybe having 5,000, 6,000 total troops and positioning them, but the overwhelming show of force seems somewhat political. In fact, governors are now beginning to recall their troops. Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida, and Governor Sununu from New Hampshire. And by the way, this is all in the midst of a pandemic. While we're not supposed to Be close to each other. 5,000 troops were on top of each other in a Senate garage. No social distancing, no cell service, just kind of banished to the outskirts of the Capitol. One National Guards member says, quote, and I'm reading yesterday dozens of senators and congresspeople walked down our lines taking photos and shaking our hands and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed. Now, Democrats in the media are a little confused right now. They're short circuiting because the muscle memory that they've developed over the last four years all of a sudden won't work. I can guarantee you that. Some of these reporters immediately, without even thinking about it, typed in White House press secretary request for comment. They realized, oh, we don't do that anymore. I guarantee you. Some reporters were about to call one of their sources inside the White House and they're like, oh, nevermind. You know what's so amazing about this Politico article? Nowhere, according to, and I've just did a quick glance of it, does it say that the White House or President Biden were asked to comment on this story. Could you imagine if thousands of National Guard troops just a week ago were in the U.S. united States Senate parking garage?
