Money isn't just about what's in our wallets—it's about freedom, sovereignty, and who controls our nation's future. In this eye-opening conversation, Kevin Freeman unveils the hidden history of America's monetary system and offers a practical solution grounded in constitutional principles.
Freeman takes us on a fascinating journey through the founding of our nation's currency system, explaining how the Constitution specifically empowers states to make gold and silver legal tender. This isn't just historical trivia—it's the foundation for a revolutionary approach to protecting Americans from an increasingly unstable federal monetary policy.
With our national debt soaring past $37 trillion, Freeman's concept of transactional gold provides a pathway for financial protection. Using modern technology similar to PayPal or Venmo but backed by precious metals, Americans could optionally place themselves on a personal gold standard without hauling around coins and bullion. Several states are now moving toward implementing such systems, with Utah and Florida leading the charge.
Whether you're concerned about inflation, interested in constitutional history, or simply wondering how to protect your family's future, this conversation delivers practical insights about reclaiming state-based economic freedom. Freeman's analysis connects our founding principles to modern solutions, showing how the wisdom of the past offers hope for navigating our uncertain economic future.

Technology and faith are converging to restore America's constitutional foundation in ways we never imagined. Speaker Mike Johnson perfectly captured this moment when meeting with Elon Musk: "I think of this as a constitutional law attorney and historian... what we're going to do here is restore the original intent of the framers of the Constitution."
At a time when faith in America has reached historic lows—with less than half of Americans now believing in God—this technological revolution offers unexpected hope. Algorithms designed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency are crawling through government data, exposing decades of federal overreach and bringing transparency to agencies that have operated beyond constitutional boundaries. As Johnson noted, "The data doesn't lie."
The parallels between Musk and Benjamin Franklin are striking—both brilliant innovators whose proximity to people of faith gradually influenced their worldview. Franklin's relationship with George Whitefield transformed his spiritual outlook, just as Musk's associations with faith-oriented figures in government may be reshaping his perspective on traditional values.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is taking decisive action by invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport gang members to El Salvador, where President Bukele has welcomed them with rehabilitation programs. Despite judicial resistance, these constitutional restorations continue advancing through higher courts that recognize the president's legitimate authority over the executive branch.
Also encouraging is the spiritual awakening happening simultaneously on college campuses, with thousands of students coming to Christ at universities nationwide. This convergence of technological innovation, constitutional restoration, and spiritual renewal suggests America may be experiencing a profound turning point—a return to the founding principles that made our nation exceptional.

Advanced technology meets constitutional principles in this fascinating exploration of how AI-powered forensic accounting is revolutionizing government oversight. The Doge team's ability to uncover fraud and waste in just days—work that traditional auditors couldn't accomplish in years—demonstrates the transformative potential of AI tools, which processes information at mind-boggling speeds while maintaining surprising objectivity.
We dive deep into the practical applications of these technologies, from identifying social security payments going to non-existent 300-year-old recipients to simplifying complex legal research that previously required hours of attorney time. The integration of Grok within X (formerly Twitter) represents a masterful approach to technology adoption, making sophisticated AI accessible through an intuitive, user-friendly interface that even self-described "old dogs" can quickly embrace.
The conversation shifts to constitutional questions surrounding presidential pardons—can Congress limit this power through legislation, or does the Constitution's explicit language put pardons beyond congressional control? This leads to a thought-provoking discussion about religious diversity in oath-taking, prompted by Kash Patel's swearing-in on the Bhagavad Gita rather than the Bible. While America's constitutional framework accommodates religious diversity, fundamental questions arise about how different worldviews might interpret core American principles like inalienable rights.
Throughout this wide-ranging discussion, we examine how America's founding principles continue to guide us through technological revolutions and increasing diversity, with Dwight Eisenhower's wisdom providing a crucial guardrail: you cannot interpret the Constitution in ways that would destroy the very rights and principles it was designed to protect.Support the show

When Pastor James Pittman Jr. placed a sign outside his Illinois church reading "Heaven has a wall, hell has open borders," he never expected the firestorm that would follow. What began as a simple biblical metaphor about salvation requirements quickly morphed into accusations of political messaging and hate speech. But something fascinating happened when protesters arrived at his church—they came bearing rainbow flags, revealing this wasn't about immigration policy at all, but about biblical truth itself.
Pastor Pittman joins the WallBuilders Show to share his experience standing firm in a progressive stronghold. "I've been in the Socialist Republic of Illinois for 30 years," he jokes, explaining how his church has faced opposition since 2016 when they first spoke out against transgender policies at local schools. The remarkable twist? The controversy has actually helped his congregation grow, with new members saying, "I've lived here for thirty years and didn't know there was a church not afraid to speak truth."
Beyond this local story lies a potentially seismic shift happening in unexpected places. Pittman reports that Black communities on Chicago's south and west sides are experiencing a "revolt" against progressive policies, while David Barton notes Detroit's longtime Democratic mayor now plans to run as an independent. Could we be witnessing the early days of a significant cultural realignment?
The conversation explores how biblical truth remains the most practical framework for addressing social problems, even as speaking it becomes increasingly countercultural. As Tim Barton observes, "The Bible was written as a practical life guide. The most effective solutions will always come from the Word of God." For believers feeling pressure to compromise, Pastor Pittman's story offers timely encouragement that speaking truth—though it may trigger opposition—often reaches those hungering for clarity and courage in confusing times.Support the show

When media headlines scream "50% increase in sepsis" following Texas pro-life legislation, it's time to look beyond the percentages and examine the actual numbers. In this eye-opening episode, we're joined by Dr. Michael New who methodically dismantles a recent ProPublica report claiming Texas women face increased dangers since abortion restrictions were enacted.
The truth? The much-publicized "crisis" amounts to just 28 additional sepsis cases annually out of approximately 400,000 births in Texas – a statistical footnote being weaponized to undermine life-affirming legislation. Meanwhile, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association confirms these same laws have saved over 22,000 lives.
We dive deep into how statistical manipulation creates misleading narratives around pro-life victories. This discussion equips you with the factual ammunition needed when confronting exaggerated claims about pro-life legislation.
Perhaps most surprisingly, we explore a medical breakthrough rarely covered in mainstream reporting: abortion pill reversal. Dr. New explains how women who take the first pill in a chemical abortion regimen can often reverse the process through progesterone treatments, resulting in hundreds of healthy births.
The conversation expands to examine promising pro-life developments at the federal level, including the reinstatement of the Hyde Amendment and Mexico City Policy, plus new appointees who support regulation of dangerous chemical abortion pills currently being distributed through mail without proper medical supervision.
Whether you're passionate about defending life or simply concerned about media integrity, this episode provides essential context missing from today's headlines. Share this information with friends and family to ensure the truth about pro-life legislation isn't buried beneath misleading statistics.Support the show

A stunning revelation awaits those who believe they know American history: our Revolution both began and ended through the courage of Black Patriots. The first martyr for liberty was Crispus Attucks at the Boston Massacre, while the crucial intelligence that secured victory at Yorktown came from James Armistead Lafayette, America's first double spy.
This eye-opening conversation with author Patrick Poole challenges everything most Americans learned in school. The Revolutionary War wasn't simply fought by "a bunch of rich white guys" – hundreds of Black Patriots served at pivotal battles including Bunker Hill, where commanders formally recognized Salem Poor's exceptional bravery. Prince Estabrook was wounded at Lexington Green during "the shot heard round the world" and continued fighting until the British evacuated New York in 1783. At Valley Forge, when Washington struggled to maintain any army at all, over 50 Black Patriots gave their lives. By the Battle of Monmouth, more than 700 Black soldiers stood in formation.
Perhaps most surprising is the post-Civil War revelation that every Republican Party in Southern states was founded primarily by Black Americans. In Texas, the party began on July 4, 1868, established by 150 Black and 20 white citizens. By 1876, at least a thousand Black elected officials had served across America – facts deliberately buried through racist historical revisionism championed by figures like President Woodrow Wilson.
This historical amnesia has profound consequences. For Black Americans, it robs them of their rightful heritage in building the nation. For all Americans, it creates false narratives that divide rather than unite. As Patrick Poole notes while discussing his book "Black Patriots: Recovering a Lost History of the American Revolution," these stories prove Black Americans "are not strangers here. This is something their ancestors fought and, in many cases, died for."
Discover these forgotten heroes through resources like Biblical Citizenship classes, "American History in Black and White," and Poole's meticulously researched book. The recovery of this shared heritage isn't just historical correction – it's essential for understanding America's true founding and creating a more united future.Get the book!

A whirlwind of change is sweeping through Washington as the Trump administration tackles longstanding bureaucratic problems with remarkable speed and decisiveness. The president's recent address to Congress wasn't just a speech – it was a victory lap showcasing policies already implemented and producing measurable results.
The administration's regulatory reform strategy stands as perhaps the boldest initiative, with Trump pledging to remove ten existing regulations for every new one implemented. This aggressive pruning of the federal rulebook could save average Americans approximately $18,000 annually in compliance costs while freeing businesses and individuals from bureaucratic micromanagement. The current regulatory state has grown so unwieldy that the U.S. Code would take 25,000 years to read at a pace of 700 pages weekly – a sobering reminder of how far government overreach has expanded.
On border security, February's numbers tell the story: border crossings dropped to an all-time low of approximately 8,000 for the entire month. Under the previous administration, illegal crossings frequently exceeded that number daily. This dramatic turnaround came without new legislation, proving that executive willpower and enforcing existing laws could quickly address what had been portrayed as an intractable crisis requiring congressional action.
Perhaps most ambitious is Trump's pledge to balance the federal budget. The deeper challenge involves restoring proper congressional appropriations procedures abandoned since 1996, when Congress last passed all twelve required appropriation bills on time. Instead, government has operated through continuing resolutions, perpetuating and expanding spending without proper oversight.
These reforms face significant headwinds in a politically polarized environment unlike anything in modern history. Unlike Reagan's era, when dozens of conservative Democrats regularly voted with Republicans on fiscal issues, today's Congress presents a landscape of bitter division and partisan entrenchment. Yet the administration's early successes suggest that meaningful change remains possible through direct leadership, public pressure, and focused determination.Support the show
