It’s been influenced by the Bible more than anything else. But then to your point, the second thing, Dad, is there’s a lot of people that today might argue we’re in a constitutional crisis. I think Charlie Kirk, right?
Even in some of his interviews, people might have seen videos over the last week or so. He talked about this, where he says, you know, people say we’re in a constitutional crisis. The problem is not the constitution.
The problem is the people. Why? Because, Dad, to your point, the really famous John Adams quote, it was in a letter written to the militia of Massachusetts in 1798.

America is a great country only because of the biblical foundation on which it was founded on. I hope that it continues for another 250 years.
I encourage you to listen to the whole episode. (The link to the podcast is at the end of the quote.)
