Eric Metaxas on the World After Trump

I saw a beautiful video of you handing out my Bible commentary to some homeless people, and I want to thank you.

You know what, I didn't know that I was being videotaped. We're always being videotaped right now. A guy who looks like me was videotaped during those DC riots, and it's just an amazing thing.

Eric Metaxas, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the handful of truly funny people And by the way, as a truly— no, no, that is the truth. And he does it deliberately. There are people who are funny unintentionally, but he is deliberately so and very profound. We have a great time when we're together. It is about one-third trading insults and two-thirds profound stuff about life. Is that fair to say?

Well, that sounds like a good friendship. I have to tell you, I need more friends like you. I have just a handful, but that is— That sums it up, my friend. That sums it up.

You do need more friends like me. I, I, I, I agree with you. You gotta leave Manhattan to get them. Yeah, well, I've been telling you this for a long time. Anyway, Eric Metaxas, author of, of a number of books, one of which I've read a number of his books, including the great one about the abolition of slavery, uh, and, uh, of course his book on On Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who died as a Christian opposing the Nazis, is a classic. And now he has a new book out. He also has fun books out. His latest is Donald and the Fake News.

It's a humor book, just in case people— people keep thinking it's a kid's book. It's a humor book for adults, but it can work as a kid's book, right? Because it's meant to look like a kid's book, but adults are going to get the humor. It's political humor making fun of— there's a character with a gavel named Madam Miss Speaker. She's the, she's the head of the resistance. There's a, there's a crazy old man in a deli who looks a little bit like Bernie. It's a lot of adult humor, but it's a simple story of what is fake news and, and why we need to— it's fun to understand it.

Part of his series, Donald the Caveman book series. Anyway, it's up at DennisPrager.com, so folks, please check it out and please get it. But I, uh, the primary reason we're talking now is that the new documentary Trump 2024 is coming out. Is it coming out this weekend?

Uh, I was told the primary reason we were talking was to plug Donald and the fake news. So the answer to that is I don't know, but people need to go to SalemNow.com, uh, and they can find it. Actually, look, all joking aside, you and I were both in it. Uh, it's a documentary about what the significance of this presidency is. And I don't say president, I say presidency, because we're talking about an administration of people who are doing things for the American people that haven't been done before. You know, we've elected all these Republicans and things, and they, they don't seem to get to it. I think that they take social conservatives and conservatives and evangelicals pretty much for granted, the way the Democrats have taken black voters for granted. It's like they think, hey, where you gonna go? We don't need to do anything for you. Where else are you going to go? This president has taken seriously a number of things that it's just— it's astounding to me that he's the guy doing the things that you would have hoped others would have done. I mean, moving the embassy to Jerusalem is the most obvious and insane thing. They all said they were going to do it. Nobody had the guts to do it. He did it. What happened? Nothing, you know, except he just looks better and better for doing the things that he said. I was talking today to somebody, I was laughing that this president actually brought back the idea of keeping your campaign promises. In my lifetime, it just became a joke because not only would they break their promises, usually they would simply never mention them again. Never.

Yes, exactly. Hold on a moment because the— I got to tell everybody, Trump 2024, this great documentary is at salemnow.com. Salem Now. They have a lot of great videos. This is the latest. This is just coming out now, so you've, you've got to watch and show these great conservative films.
