So I wrestle with that a lot in my book.

One of the great things about working in the Trump administration as a Christian is I was never asked to do anything that

violated my sincerely held beliefs.

And a lot of the policy things that we were advancing were things that I had been hoping would happen for years and years.

And the president rescinded the Mexico City policy, which funds abortions overseas with U.S.

taxpayer money.

He told the Department of Justice that we're no longer gonna go after the nonprofit status of faith-based nonprofits that speak into political issues, which had been a threat that many churches and faith-based organizations were worried about for years and years.

Right now at the State Department, whether you like it or not, your pronouns will be in your email signature, whether you like it or not, automatically.

In the Trump administration, something like that would never happen.

A lot of the power of these DEI offices that exist now and imposing all this woke ideology on government workers and bullying them into submission because they're scared to speak up about it, things like that never would have happened in the Trump administration.

There's a, my favorite monument in Washington, D.C.

is the Jefferson Memorial.

Jefferson's my favorite founder.

He's the most fascinating, interesting person, I think, from that era to read.

And there's a quote inside the dome of the Jefferson Memorial.

I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against any tyranny over the minds of man.

I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against any tyranny over the minds of man.

What that means is,

Any government censorship, oppression, or attempt to subjugate someone's freedom of thought and expression, religion, sincerely held beliefs of any kind is tyranny.

And then any true patriot will stand up to that.
