- So my next guest is an author, speaker,
Minister, documentarian,
and a business professor.
Now, he's finally made
it big as my co author.
Our new book is called
The Three Cs That Made America Great.
Christianity, Capitalism
and the Constitution.
Please give a nice welcome
to the co author of our
new book, Steve Faisal.
Steve, great to have you here.
- Thank you for being here.
(crowd cheering)
- Let's talk about what
made America great.
What was it that really
gave us something different
than any other country in history.
- Well, a lot of people came here
because they wanted to worship.
The Christian way that they believed.
And so they came and then people said,
you know, we'd like to have our own land.
Because the only way you can make money
is have land and they
couldn't have it in England
because the noble had it all.
So to protect all these,
we came up with the constitution
after the Revolutionary War.
And I looked at that and I said,
hey, these all start with C,
and they're the foundational
stones of our republic.
So this would make a good book.
This is what made it great.
And then I had to come up with a co author
that could really give a
good punch out to the nation.
So I needed somebody who was intelligent,
who had some political insight
and who was well known.
- [Instructor] You couldn't find that guy.
So you called me.
I guess it's what happened.
(crowd laughing)
- Sarah Sanders was not available.
(laughing)
So I had to call you.
Honestly, he was my first choice.
And I'm so glad that he did it
because we had never met before.
He might have known that
I did co author book with Dr. Caroline.
- [Instructor] Dr. Caroline
is a good friend of ours.
- And so therefore that got me
somewhat of a foot in the door.
- I tell people,
you know, always feel bad about pushing
something that's got my name on it.
But quite frankly, it's a great read.
But I love it because it has resources.
Whether you're a history teacher
or you're just a citizen,
that has some crazy relatives
or friends or co-workers
who just have no clue
about the origins of the
United States of America.
And they're certainly not getting into
history classes anymore.
- Right.
- So let's talk about if you would say,
okay, there are two big
takeaways from this book
you hope people get.
What do you hope they are?
- I hope they understand the fact that,
you know, when the Democrats say
they wanna transform this nation.
It got transformed back in the 60s
when we lost prayer out of school.
And we have been paying
for that ever since.
(crowd clapping)
And so
(crowd clapping)
Basically, we have a
lot of ground to claim.
I could not believe when I read that,
in 2003 19% of the people said,
they claim no faith at all.
And in 2017,
that went up to 35%.
I'm afraid if that goes to 50%,
We lose the Republic.
- One of the things
we try to address in the book
and I think we honestly do it
is the uniqueness of the Constitution.
No other government in
the history of mankind
has been formed with a document
that does not empower the government.
It empowers the people.
And it basically tells the government
what it can't do rather
than tell the people
what they can't do.
- The Constitution is
constraining government.
The Christian morality
that our founders had,
that they wanted to shape
the moral conscience of our nation.
That was to constrain the people.
When you fuse those together,
it really made capitalism work.
So that's where the all
three come together.
- That's one of the things that we hope
that we will tell people
is the pride.
The Three Cs That Made America Great.
Christianity, Capitalism,
and the Constitution.
See you Faisal,
thank you so much for being here.
- Thank you.
- [Instructor] And I hope that
a couple of million people
will get this book.
I think they would like
- I mean to that, yeah.
- I really do.
My family will appreciate it.
I'm sure too, hey.
