(dramatic music)
- Living in 2018 is extremely
challenging for women,
but being a believer and a
woman is especially difficult.
The Bible is filled with many stories
of strong and courageous women
from Deborah, Abigail,
Esther, and many more.
Today, a vibrant woman joins us.
She is the Public Outreach Coordinator
for Americans for a Limited Government,
a contributing editor for the Daily Torch,
and one of the most respected young voices
of conservative women.
Let's welcome Natalia Castro.
Thank you so much for being here.
- Thank you so much for having me.
It is truly an honor.
- So I want to get down
to the nitty gritty.
Is it possible for women
to stand for women's rights
and be conservative?
- Well, it's very difficult.
Nowadays, the word
feminism has been conflated
with this very liberal feminist narrative.
And it's made it difficult
for conservative women
to stand up for women's rights.
But it's important to
remember that every woman
and every person can
defend women's rights,
can support equality of the sexes,
and it doesn't necessarily mean
submitting to a liberal political agenda.
So a lot of what we hear nowadays,
when we think of feminism,
is the women at the march
and the very pro-choice movement.
And I think that, as conservative women,
we also believe in
standing up for ourselves
and being independent women,
but that doesn't necessarily need to mean
what the very political idea
feminism has made it mean.
So yes, it's possible,
but it could be difficult.
- So it seems like the
definition of feminism
has changed in the past few years.
Is that correct?
- Absolutely.
And I wouldn't even say
the definition of feminism has changed.
I would more say the connotation
of feminism has changed.
Rather than looking at
feminism for what it is,
a fight for equality,
we've started looking at it
as a very anti-male agenda.
It's an agenda that women
need to be brought above men.
And the way that it kind
of creates that narrative
is by saying women have
been viewed as less than men
for so long and we need to fight back.
But feminism and equality
shouldn't be based
in anger or fighting.
It should be based in a hope
and a very positive image
of empowering women and lifting them.
And I think that, because of
the change in connotation,
it's almost taken on a
completely different definition
than what it's really meant to be,
which is, like I said,
something very positive.
- So, Natalia, where can we whip for you?
(women laugh)
No, but honestly, we agree with you.
The definition of feminism
truly hasn't changed,
but I agree that women have
been so confined for so long
that, now that we're able to speak out
and do a little bit more,
it's almost taken it too far.
And it's challenging,
too, because I believe
that the country as a whole
is in an identity crisis, so to speak.
Women are becoming stronger,
and not necessarily
stronger in a positive way
if you look at the liberal
left side view of things,
but men are also becoming weaker.
- Absolutely.
And I think that is a
big part of the problem
with modern feminism
is that it equates the strength of women
with the idea that they can only be strong
if they are this very single-boxed
kind of feminist woman.
I think a big problem we see
is that liberal feminists
don't want to support women
like Kellyanne Conway,
who was the first woman
to lead a successful presidential campaign
with President Trump.
And that should be a great accomplishment
that all women celebrate.
But instead, we see liberal
women who are saying
oh, because we don't
believe Trump is a feminist,
we don't believe Kellyanne
Conway can be a feminist
and we don't believe that
she's a powerful woman.
And then, rather than
just supporting women,
we're only supporting certain women.
So I think it's really important that,
when we see a woman rise,
when we see people do well,
we do support that and we encourage it
and not look at it as an opportunity
to take other people down.
And I think that's a big
part of what you're saying,
I mean, exactly what you said,
this idea that women
are getting so powerful
that it's almost become a detriment
because it's only certain
women can be this powerful
and they have to adhere
to a certain agenda.
We can't just all rise
and think for ourselves
and think however we want to.
- So how can we be a woman
that stands for women's rights
and also a conservative at the same time?
Where's that line?
- I think it's something
that needs to be done
more internally.
I think what we see with liberal feminists
is that, in order for
them to believe in rising,
a lot of these women want
to push their own agenda,
like I've said.
But it needs to be something
that comes from the inside.
It needs to be something
that makes us feel empowered.
So whether you are in media,
whether you are in politics,
whether you're in business,
to be an empowered woman,
you just need to take
that individual step up.
You need to fight for what you believe in
and maintain your principles
and maintain your values.
And then it doesn't matter
what the other feminists
around you are doing
or what they're saying,
but it's about you and how you advance
and push yourself forward.
Again, Kellyanne Conway's
a great example of that.
She kind of stayed true
to what she believed in.
She led the presidential campaign
really based on her gut.
She knew we need to help middle America.
These are people that I know
and I have experience with.
And she mused that to
propel herself forward.
And I think that's something
that every conservative woman can do
no matter what their industry is
or their political affiliation.
From the inside, they can
fight for what they believe in.
- So I'm a career fundraiser.
Kellyanne Conway is one of my heroes.
I can't believe what she
did with the campaign.
You know, the President
that was practically
voted against from the beginning.
People said that he was
never gonna become President,
and here she is running a
campaign that's nearly impossible
and she makes it happen.
And I think that all women
should be proud of that.
I agree with you that we shouldn't
be pushing each other down,
especially when it
comes to certain issues.
We should be lifting each other up.
- Exactly.
And yeah.
- What are some political issues
that are specific to women,
in particular, that we need
to be watchful of today
in this day and age?
- I think one important one
that, especially right now
in Congress, there's a lot
of talk about is paid leave
because a lot of women under...
You know, women really do understand
that, in order to have a
child and be able to work,
there's going to be some give and take.
But a big problem with
large, federal government
paid leave policies is
that they try to give women
a very defined amount of time
that they can take off work
and they mandate companies
very specific requirements
for how long women, and
even men, can take off work
after they've had a child.
And that's something that
women should be wary of.
The federal government doesn't know
how long I need to be with
my child more than me.
And the federal government
also doesn't know
what the best working situation is for me.
So very large federal government policies
that mandate paid leave can
often do more to hurt women
than they do help women.
So especially as this issue
is kind of becoming in the
forefront for Congress right now.
I know Senator Rubio just
introduced some legislation.
It's been a big talking
point for Ivanka Trump.
We need to be wary of a large
federal government policy
that might end up hurting
us more than it helps us.
But, on the other side of that,
it is important that some form
of paid leave does come...
Some legislation does pass
to give women more options.
So this is going to be something
that we have to watch very closely
because, you know, typical with feminism,
it can be really strong for women,
but if it's too much, it
can be to our detriment.
- I can't imagine being told
that two weeks is sufficient
or three weeks or even three months,
especially for women that
suffer from PTSD from childbirth
or have a difficult childbirth
themselves or a C-section.
Surgery's something very
difficult to recover from.
But I know people oftentimes
take a lot more time
recovering from a surgery
than childbirth itself.
So I agree, it's definitely something
that we need to be watchful of.
Is there any other policies
that are coming into the mix
at this moment that we need
to be more careful about
or more watchful of?
- I think that, for women,
one thing that we really
need to be focusing on
that, a lot of times, isn't really taken
as a women's issue is what's going on
with the tax cuts and jobs.
Because there's a lot of
worry that, if we don't have
a Republican majority,
a lot of these tax cuts
aren't going to be extended.
And one thing that the tax
cut bill did very effectively
is that it encouraged
companies to offer things
like paid leave.
It expanded a lot of
the child tax credits.
And for families and for working mothers,
it provided a lot of
additional opportunity.
So I think that, for women particularly,
focusing on the economy,
focusing on these issues
that aren't even
traditionally women's issues,
is going to be really important
because we want to make
sure that the job growth
and the opportunities that
women are experiencing
because of this tax cut are maintained.
And that's gonna be a
really important issue,
especially looking at the mid-terms.
- Now, what is your feeling on equal pay,
which I know has been
very popular as of late?
So I want to know your personal
perspective on equal pay.
- I think one of the most
important things to realize
is that legislation mandating equal pay
has already existed in this
country since the '60s.
So the federal government
has already done its job
in saying there should
not be discrimination.
Now I think we need to change
the narrative a little bit
because we do still often hear
about the 77 cents to $1.00
that women get paid.
And what a lot of people don't realize is
a big part of the reason
for that is because
women are often not
taught negotiation skills.
Women often don't go into STEM fields
or other high-paying fields.
So while it's not women's faults,
it is more of a cultural
change that needs to happen
than a legislative one.
So rather than the federal government
trying to enact another
piece of legislation
saying don't discriminate,
I think it's something
that needs to be changed
in how we raise our daughters
and how we teach them in school
and how we encourage them to enter fields
they might not be
traditionally comfortable with.
And so I think that, if we want to achieve
the great idea of equal pay,
then us as mothers, as
sisters, as family members
need to help encourage women,
have the hard conversations with them,
encourage them to talk to their bosses.
I'm part of several conservative
women's organizations
and one of the most common
questions I get asked
from other girls is how do
I ask my boss for a raise
because I've just never felt like I have
the ability to do that.
And I think that being able
to empower women to say
you can ask for what
you believe you deserve.
Then that can go a long way in helping
close some of that gap that we see.
- I am so excited you're on the program.
Honestly, these are issues that I think
that we've swept under
the rug for too often,
especially as Christian
women, as believers,
especially in church.
You know, we're always...
Not always, and I don't want
to play this card by any means,
but oftentimes, we hear
I Timothy quite often
that women should be quiet in church.
And so I think that empowering women
and raising women that
are strong and assertive
would definitely help not only households
and their family life,
but also the workplace.
We are living in a double income society
where most parents have to work each.
We don't live in a society
where a man can take care of the household
and the woman can stay at
home as things used to be.
And so women are having
to come out of their homes
into a new field, into a new environment
that they're not familiar with.
- Absolutely.
Many women come from families
where maybe their mother or
their grandmother didn't work
or they chose not to work,
which is a beautiful and a noble choice,
but as more and more women
enter the labor force,
I think instilling
within women the ability
to feel empowered and to
not rely on that empowerment
from the government or
from an institution,
but it comes from the family
and it comes from us
teaching the girls around us,
like I said before, that you can ask for
what you believe you deserve,
is going to go a very long way
because it's all about empowering women.
And it shouldn't be
about tearing men down.
It shouldn't be about debating which women
we agree with and don't
agree with on every issue.
We can have intellectual discussion
and still empower each other
and raise each other up,
and I think that is very important.
- So what can we do as women
for this political culture?
How can we make our voices heard?
How can we act and actually
participate in something
that will make a difference,
not just for ourselves,
but for future generations?
- Well, I think there's
a twofold approach here.
And I think the first is kind of what
I was just talking about for a little bit
about doing it within the family,
doing it within your friend group,
doing it with the people
you interact with every day.
I recently read a really
interesting article
about women in an office who
all started banding together
to provide each other and
some of the lower income women
in their office with
certain health supplies
that women need and don't
normally have access to,
like the tampons and
stuff like that, and they
started working together
- That's so sweet.
- to make that possible for each other.
And so I think, in our social environment,
trying to just empower
and lift up other women
is really important.
But the other side of that,
something that has been really awesome
in the conservative movement lately,
is a lot of conservative women's groups
have started rising up.
Like the Network of Enlightened Women
is a conservative women's book club
that these women meet weekly, usually,
and read different books together
and kind of talk about
conservative issues.
The Independent Women's
Forum is another great group.
Future Female Leaders does a lot of work
and inspiring and uplifting
conservative women.
There are a lot of organizations like that
that, as conservative
women, we can become part of
to make our voices heard.
And they're not all political policy.
A lot of it is just social groups
and kind of making that
cultural change happen
that helps to uplift and empower women.
- Now we only have a few minutes left,
but I think that this is
an important question.
Half of our viewership are men
and then the other half are women.
So my question is why does it matter
what a woman does, socially
or politically, to a man,
and why does it matter to
society as a whole essentially?
- When we only have half of a perspective,
then we're never going to grow.
Let's be honest, men have led
most of the history in this country,
but there always been
strong women behind them
helping that, facilitating
it, and growing these ideas.
And I think men need to realize,
and it's a huge problem that has come
with the modern feminist movement,
women don't want to take over the world.
We just want to have equal
footing in our future
and be able to, when we
have the strong idea,
bring it forward.
And we can all grow from
more diverse viewpoints,
more diverse thoughts, and
it can only help the country.
There is no harm to being able to hear
a more diverse viewpoint.
And I think that, what we will realize is,
when we have more women
feeling like they can speak up,
that we're only going to see more success
across the board for everyone,
and we're only going to
raise stronger children
and have stronger families..
- Welcome back to Shabbat Night Live.
And we just want to
say a special thank you
to those that stood with us,
that stand with us on a daily basis,
stand for the truth with this ministry
for as long as we can.
As Michael would say,
we're gonna continue delivering
the message of Yeshua
throughout the entire world
for as long as we can,
until they literally shut us down.
According to newslines, that
seems like it's gonna happen
a lot sooner than we anticipated,
so hopefully we have a few
good years with you to go.
But we were discussing women's
issues with Natalia Castro,
an incredible woman that
is living in Washington DC,
belongs to the Americans
for Limited Government,
an incredible journalist,
and we're excited to have
you back to discuss a topic
that many Americans don't
pay any attention to,
which is the EPA.
- Yes.
The Environmental Protection Agency.
- Yes.
What we were discussing
off the air, just briefly,
we've encountered...
We meaning my husband and I
have encountered the EPA more
than once on a regular basis
because of the business that we have.
We own an off road side-by-side business.
We build after market
parts for these vehicles.
So they're off road vehicles
so we often have to go off road
into a lot of government mandated land.
And so we run into a lot of issues
where a lot of parks,
whether private or public,
get shut down because of EPA regulations.
So for the average American,
you said it was the...
What does EPA stand for?
- Environmental Protection
Agency.
- Perfect.
And what does that matter
to us as Americans?
- So the EPA had this
very basic original goal
of protecting the environment
across the country.
And through most of the administrations
that the EPA existed
under, it did a great job
of kind of just working with
the Department of Interior
to, like you said, make
sure our parks were upheld,
that kind of stuff.
But under President Obama, the
agenda changed a little bit
because Obama took on a really
strong climate change agenda.
And what the EPA started
doing was using litigation.
So, basically, an environmentalist group
in, let's say, Nebraska would
sue the federal government
saying we don't think you're doing enough
to protect this river.
And then the EPA would settle the lawsuit,
which is called sue and settle,
and expand its power to
then protect said river.
And that might not seem
like it's too big of a deal
to the average person, but
under the Obama administration,
this actually happened hundreds of times.
There were hundreds of these cases.
And what it allowed the EPA to do
is basically take control over
waterways across the country,
parks across the country, and it invaded
a lot of local jurisdictions
all in the name of
protecting the environment.
And that took a really
big hit on local economies
because businesses that
can normally thrive
without any federal
government intervention
were suddenly being told, no,
need to do these three things
in order to be able to
even exist on this land.
And it was a really
big financial detriment
that existed under the
Obama administration.
- I can't imagine owning,
which has happened and
we've read through the news
over the past few years,
owning private land that
your family has lived on
for hundreds of years and then being told
that that land no longer belongs to you
and were allowed this portion of the land
to survive under your name,
but you have to follow
these regulations and rules.
- Exactly, and that's
a lot of what happened
under the Obama administration.
And like I said, that
really hurt local economies.
But even more, that wasn't the
original purpose for the EPA.
The EPA wasn't supposed to be involved
in all these local jurisdictions.
So what started happening is,
what used to take two weeks
for a person to get a permit
to use a certain piece of land
started taking months on end.
In fact, when the Trump
administration took over the EPA,
they found that projects
were months behind,
permits were months behind.
There was no accountability
in regional offices
that the EPA monitored
and there was abuse
across the entire system.
So what we saw was that,
by taking on so much responsibility,
that the EPA was not in
their original authority,
not only did it hurt
these local communities,
but the EPA was no longer
effectively able to do their job.
So they weren't even able
to help the environment
like they were supposed to be.
- Well that sounds like a lot of portions
of our government offices today.
But how does these regulations affect
average Joe that works
in the mill nine to five
and then goes home to his
family every single day?
Aside from the economic
differences with his town
or his state, how would
it affect him long term?
I really just want to put
it into the perspective
of our average viewer
why this is something
that they need to consider
being more thoughtful about.
- So I think there's two major ways.
The first is in wage stagnation.
So someone who has normally
seen maybe raises every year,
under the Trump administration,
especially like your mill workers,
people who work in grocery stores,
a lot of the middle to
low income Americans
who are just trying to live
and support their family
saw wage stagnation completely
because of this overregulation.
So a lot of Americans,
without even realizing it,
took a direct hit to their paychecks.
And that's not even
like the local economy.
That's just them particularly.
But the second way is
the EPA actually just released a report
talking about how one of the standards
that they put in place
in the last few years
has actually been hurting the environment
that they thought would
help the environment
has actually been hurting the environment,
and it deals a lot with ethanol
and the gas that we put in our cars.
So the gas that we've
been putting in our cars,
because of EPA standards,
has been less clean for the
environment and less efficient.
So for every American
that goes to the gas pump,
just tries to fill up
their cars and keep going,
we've seen a spike in gas
prices and less fuel efficiency
because of these EPA regulations.
So those are just two ways
that really directly
hurts the people at home
both when they get their
paychecks at the end of the month
and when they go to fill up
their car every couple weeks.
- Well, this brings up a good question.
Fracking.
Is it really as bad as
the news tells us it is?
Does it really affect our
environment that much?
- It doesn't.
In short, it doesn't.
But it's also important to realize
that a lot of the better options
that the media and the left comes up with
are also not as effective
for our environment like,
like I said, that ethanol mandate.
So that was supposed to be
a replacement for fracking,
but it ends up hurting the
environment just as much
and lowering our fuel economy.
So a lot of these alternatives
that we try to think of
are just as bad or worse.
So the impact of fracking
is, then, much lower
when you're comparing it to
other clean energy options.
So you gotta take what
you hear in the media
with a grain of salt a lot of the times
because there's a huge industry
that's against fracking on the left
and they're pushing this
very false narrative
of ideas that only hurt
the environment more.
So it's definitely a controversial issue,
but it should not be as bad as it is.
- Well, and it also brings us to the point
that we're so dependent on
other nations for our oil,
and that's what usually causes us
to have so many difficulty.
A lot of our wars have been
started over oil itself
because we're dependent on them.
And if we were independent,
it would make it a little bit easier
for us to be self-sufficient,
but also for us to
regulate the oil production
and, not to mention, just the
impact that it would create
on our economy itself.
- Of course.
And, you know, the United States has
for a long time been viewed
not just as a global authority,
but also very much as a moral authority.
And as a Hispanic woman,
I've always taken issue with the fact
that the United States...
You know, we talk a lot about Venezuela
and how horrible our
relationship with Venezuela is
and how much they dislike
the United States,
but we still get oil from them
and a lot of the world does.
And that is the reason that
the dictator in Venezuela
is able to hurt his own people.
And fuel independence
in the United States,
energy independence, isn't
just about helping our economy,
but it's also about
lessening our dependence
on these volatile countries
that often do not respect
the rights of their people,
do not respect the rights of women,
lead essentially in religious law
across the Middle East
and even in South America.
And a big part of our energy independence
is separating ourselves
from those countries
so that we aren't, by mistake,
fueling a horrible regime.
- So has nuclear power production
been really that much safer
over the past 40 years or...
How much focus has been put
on nuclear power production?
Because I know for a fact that
they're constantly growing
and they're constantly hiring.
Every nuclear plant that we've
ever seen, my husband and I,
again, because of his line of work,
we get to interact with a lot
of people that work there.
So there's been a continuous growth.
Is it not true?
- No, the growth within
the nuclear energy industry
is incredible, but it has been stifled
because a few different
pieces of legislation
that have kind of come into place
over the last 30 to 40 years.
One important issue
has been nuclear waste.
And a big reason why nuclear energy
hasn't been able to
move into the forefront
within the United States is because,
in an effort to protect the environment,
President Obama canceled the
plans for Yucca Mountain,
which is a mountain in
Nevada that was deemed
by environmentalists, economists,
groups across the country,
this mountain was deemed
as the most safe place
to place nuclear waste.
But some Nevada Democratic representatives
talked to President Obama
and basically said we don't
want that in our back yard.
And so President Obama
canceled all of those plans.
So now, there's no safe
place to put nuclear waste.
In fact, a study came
out I believe last year
that was very interesting
and highlighted that, because
there is no single place
to put nuclear waste, it is
dispersed across the country
and over 80 to 90 percent
of our nuclear waste
is within 60 miles of a major city.
So it's actually in more
dangerous places now
because we don't have
a single safe location.
And that has really stifled
the advancement of nuclear energy
because there's a huge liability there.
But if we are able to,
and it's been a big
push within Trump's EPA,
to re-open Yucca Mountain as a place
for nuclear waste to be held,
and to change some other of the laws
regulating nuclear
waste and nuclear energy
so that that can be a thriving industry
within the United States.
- So the perception of
the risk of nuclear power
and the actual risks are very different.
Again, you're saying take
it with a grain of salt.
- Yeah, absolutely.
You look at countries
like France who, normally,
I wouldn't agree with most
stuff that's done in France,
but they have really
taken over nuclear energy
and made it efficient
and effective and safe.
And that can be done in
the United States too,
but it's government regulations
that came from this very noble goal
of we want it to be clean,
we want to make sure it's
the most safe it can be,
but as very often happens
when you have government
regulation in the free market,
it's only stifled that advancement
for what could be a very safe
and available energy source.
- Do you mind explaining
to us here in America
how France takes care of
their nuclear power plants
so that we can use it as a comparison?
But most of us don't know.
- Of course.
One thing France has
become very good at doing
is called nuclear reprocessing.
And what that basically means is,
after they have created, let's say,
one stable amount of nuclear energy,
they've actually learned how to recycle it
and separate the dangerous chemicals
from the useable energy chemicals
and reuse that useable energy
to make it a more long
lasting energy source.
And what that also does is it eliminates
about half of the waste
that we would normally see
if we were working with nuclear energy,
say, 50 years ago.
So, because they've been able to do that,
they've made it a much safer
and more stable process.
And nuclear reprocessing
was actually banned
in the United States about 30 years ago
because there was a fear that,
if people knew how to reprocess
and recycle nuclear energy,
they might use it to create weapons.
But, as France has shown,
when it's done responsibly,
there's no real risk
of accidentally creating a nuclear weapon
or accidentally leaking nuclear energy
because it's a proven process that works.
And so a lot of these archaic
laws that were put in place
when we didn't know about nuclear energy
should now be changed with the
new knowledge that we have.
- And those laws, you call them archaic.
When were they put in place,
just to give us a reference?
- Most of these laws were put in place
between the '60s and the '80s.
So not too archaic, but in
terms of energy development,
like I said, they were put in place
with the goal of a very Cold War mentality
of this could be a risk
so we need to contain it.
But now that energy has advanced,
we see that, what we
once thought was a risk
is now much safer and much more secure
than we thought it once was.
- So what created the
fear in nuclear weapons?
Do you have an idea of
what initiated that fear?
Aside from what possibly could
be in these original laws,
what has really created the view worldwide
that nuclear weapons are something
that we should be fearful of
and something that everyone can create
in their back yard essentially?
- I think a lot of
people, especially when...
So nuclear weapons came
before nuclear energy did.
And because of that, a lot of people
only looked at this as for
weaponry, as militarized,
rather than looking at it
as a stable energy source.
And it wasn't until people
really learned about
how to process and reprocess energy
that they realized, wait a second,
if we're not enriching this with uranium,
then it's not dangerous,
or at least it's not
going to turn weaponized.
It can actually be an energy source.
So I think a big problem is
just the order of events.
And like I said, it was very
much a Cold War mentality
that we were so focused on
militarizing and weaponry
that we let the idea of
a stable energy source
kind of fall to the wayside
and I think that was a really big problem.
- So I want to ask this question
because I'm sure our
viewers, at this point,
have had this on their mind.
What does this matter to
us as believers, truly?
What does it matter that
we're discussing EPA
and nuclear weapons?
As a Christian, what would you say?
- I would say that one
of the, at least to me,
a very central part of Christianity
is this idea that we have all
been placed on this planet
with very specific purposes,
with ways to advance,
with ways to use the resources around us.
And as believers, we believe that,
whenever there is an opportunity,
we should be able to pursue it.
And it's by God's blessing
that these things have
been put into our lives.
And I think what has happened
is our government has tried
to regulate our environment
and has tried to overregulate
the world around us.
And as believers, we
should stand up and say no.
The United States is
blessed with resources.
We have been truly blessed
with this beautiful land
and this beautiful environment
and we should be able to use it,
and we should be able to use it to advance
and to spread our values.
And I think a big part of it is,
a little bit of what I
talked about earlier,
we see countries like Venezuela,
where their dictatorship
is so absent of God's way.
And as a moral authority
in the United States,
being able to be energy independent
and not fund that regime is truly,
that is how we act as
a beacon for the world,
by saying we are blessed
with these resources
and we will give them to other countries
so that other countries
don't have to fund Venezuela
and fund Iran and fund Iraq
and countries that, like I
said, are in a lot of ways
are unfortunately absent of
God's way in their leadership.
And so I think that, by
taking in our resources
and using them to better the world,
that is truly in God's
plan for this country.
- Amen.
