Transcript [00:00] where are the evangelicals are they back [00:03] in the fold or are they going to sit at [00:06] home in 75 days time let's talk to a man [00:10] who [00:12] knows who understands has his finger on [00:15] the pulse of the Christian Community in [00:18] America a good friend of mine the CEO [00:20] and president of the religious [00:24] broadcasters uh the the N the um the nrb [00:28] the association of national orist [00:30] broadcasters Troy Miller welcome to [00:33] America [00:34] First oh thanks for having me today good [00:36] to be with you that is a really nice [00:38] setup you've got there my gosh what [00:40] radio broadcasting but his camera setup [00:42] is very very impressive so um I was [00:45] honored to address your your national [00:48] gathering a few months ago that now that [00:51] is a big conference we were at the [00:52] biggest conference site in America that [00:55] isn't part of Disneyland or Casino we [00:58] were in uh I think we're in Nashville it [01:00] was the day of the phone outage which [01:02] was a lot of fun trying to get home [01:04] butth you sent me an article a few days [01:06] ago that I think is so absolutely uh [01:09] crucial for us to discuss it's time to [01:13] get millions of Evangelical voters to [01:15] the poll so first things first [01:18] Troy don't evangelicals [01:21] vote well they do they're one of the [01:23] largest voting blocks but uh as we say [01:26] in the article there there's a lot of [01:28] them that are setting on the side about [01:30] a third of them a little over a third of [01:31] them 34% of evangelicals didn't vote in [01:35] the 2020 election and likewise probably [01:37] in the 2022 uh midterms as well so you [01:41] know we really think that's a powerful [01:43] voice a powerful block and we look we [01:45] need to get them to the polls I I don't [01:48] understand you know the the Bible our [01:50] Lord and savior is very clear we have to [01:52] be good stewards um how can you be a [01:55] good Steward of anything if you you [01:57] don't vote and uh invest in the future [02:01] of the country of which you are a [02:02] citizen what what's going on there Troy [02:04] do you have any insight for us first you [02:06] know Christians have been villainized [02:09] recently uh you know for getting [02:11] involved in politics so you've heard the [02:13] term you know Christian Nationalist and [02:16] that's not really meant to be a badge of [02:18] honor uh thrown on them it's meant to [02:20] throw on to say oh you Christians need [02:22] to stay out of politics you need to stay [02:24] home and and a lot of Christians [02:26] unfortunately have bought into that idea [02:28] and have been shamed to be you know to [02:30] get involved that's that's one of the [02:32] problems and as you said look the Bible [02:34] is clear about this Jesus himself when [02:37] he was asked about you know paying the [02:39] taxes he said render onto Caesar that [02:41] that is Caesars and onto God that is God [02:44] and we live in a country where God gave [02:46] us the opportunity to be involved in [02:48] this constitutional republic our [02:50] Democratic process of electing people uh [02:54] is a god-given gift and so Christians [02:56] should look at it that way and [02:58] understand that second you know the uh [03:00] the uh Apostle P Peter you know he talks [03:04] about us being involved in the Public [03:06] Square praying for our leaders and being [03:09] with these leaders so that's that's one [03:11] of the big problems that's going on [03:12] today Christians have just been shamed [03:14] and afraid to talk about politics [03:17] so I have to ask you what the logic [03:21] train is we're talking to Troy mler CEO [03:24] the president of the National Religious [03:27] broadcasters I I I don't understand [03:29] because this is the only president to [03:31] ever address the March for Life as [03:34] president I was there he's the only [03:37] president to recognize Jerusalem and [03:41] move the embassy after 23 years of [03:44] broken promises from Democrats and [03:46] Republican presidents and then after [03:49] they assault the White House and try and [03:50] burn down the presidential church he [03:53] walks across Lafayette Square and holds [03:56] up a Bible hasn't he done enough to get [03:59] the vote of Christians Troy [04:02] Miller well you know we don't support or [04:05] or oppose candidates as a 501c3 but I I [04:09] think he certainly has if you just look [04:11] at this objectively uh he certainly has [04:14] noticed uh the block and has done more I [04:17] think for Christians maybe than any [04:19] president uh uh going back for a very [04:22] very long time uh and that's clear look [04:25] we we invited three candidates three of [04:28] the top candidates to come to to the nrb [04:30] convention uh the current sitting [04:32] President Joe Biden uh at the time uh uh [04:36] Ambassador Haley and Donald Trump and [04:38] the former president was the only one [04:40] had accepted you know we would Lov to [04:42] had the current president but look he [04:44] came and he talked to Christians he [04:46] talked to evangelicals and that's that's [04:48] you know that's people are noticing that [04:51] all right so um you're not a part is an [04:54] organization clearly if you invited the [04:56] current incumbent Joe Biden so uh you've [04:59] got [05:00] let's give him 60 seconds he's a he [05:02] knows what this is about CU he's the [05:04] head of the National Religious broadcast [05:05] as we got a post to hit Troy Miller uh [05:08] what is your message you're talking to [05:09] about three and a half million Americans [05:11] across the country most of them I would [05:12] think are are Jewish or are Christian um [05:16] what is your message to those who didn't [05:18] vote last time or are thinking of not [05:20] voting this time what do you say to [05:22] those irrespective of party well look [05:25] look around you and ask yourself this [05:27] question do you really think that the [05:31] culture is going in the right direction [05:33] do you really think that the culture is [05:35] going parallel to the face that you [05:37] believe in and to the values that you [05:40] hold and the principles that you adhere [05:42] to and and if your answer to that [05:44] question is no then you need to get out [05:46] God has given you the opportunity to [05:48] change that and that is my message to [05:50] people today look around you take an [05:54] estimate of the situation if it's not [05:56] trending in the right direction if it's [05:58] not as you would would wish it to be if [06:00] it doesn't comport with your value [06:02] system the least you can do is vote [06:06] there's a lot more you could do but the [06:08] least you could do is vote we have been [06:11] talking to the president CEO of the
