We will not embrace the ideas 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. Jurgen, Congressman Gohmert said the real problem here is the, is the descent into atheism and how atheism and socialism are connected. You're a pastor, you're also a conservative, outspoken Trump supporter, immigrant to our country. One of the coolest stories. Can you talk about how as America becomes further connected, disconnected from a relationship with a higher power, people then gravitate towards almost state run religion?
Jurgen (0:55)
Yeah, well, that's actually my testimony. So I grew up in a home. My dad was an atheist, but the reason he was an atheist was because he was born in East Germany. So after World War II, they basically put a line down the middle. The west was capitalism, the east was communism. Well, unfortunately, my dad being in Eisenach was part of East Germany. So he had a bit of a very troubled childhood. At 18 was conscription, you had to go into the military. So he was in the military. And then they put him as a soldier on the wall. So he was a soldier on the wall. And he always mixed the guards. He said, you know, you never was with the same person. And then they would plant people in there saying, hey, how would you like to cross over to capitalism? Wouldn't that be fantastic? He says, and you were frightened because people were going missing all the time and they were in concentration camps, in gulags. This one night, a guy's escaping, gets caught in the barbed wire. My dad has the gun, refuses to shoot the guy. So they throw him into a concentration camp as a defector. He comes out of there, tells his best friend he's done, he's done with communism, he's going to escape. His best friend instead goes to the Stasi. They dob my dad in, they come around and arrest my dad. He goes for two years into, and he said the only way to get out was he had to lie and say, man, Stalinism, Marxism, that's the way to go. And so he is frightened. When I talk to him on the phone, he cannot believe what's happening to our Nation. He's almost 80 years of age now. He cannot believe what's happening to our nation because he's like, this is what we fled from.
