This weekend marks 21 years since Islamic radical terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and would have flown a 4th plane into the Capitol or White House except that passengers on that plane wrestled the controls away from the hijackers and the plane went down in Shanksville, PA. 3000 innocent people were murdered in the space of a few minutes in a cowardly attack that shook the nation more powerfully than anything since Pearl Harbor. One of the reasons the events of that day are seared into the deepest recesses of our souls is that we saw it play out on live television. Some of the images, especially of desperate people jumping from the Towers to escape the fireball of the airliners exploding or the soot-covered people in business attire stumbling away from the collapsing buildings are images we can’t unsee.

We all remember exactly where we were that day and what we were doing when we saw the planes hit. Like the JFK assassination for those of us old enough to remember it, or the Challenger explosion, there are moments in our lives where an event so stunned us that time seemed to stand still and we had to catch our breath from the sheer shock of what our eyes had told us.

In the hours, days, and weeks following 9-11, America was united like I had never witnessed. Flags flew everywhere—on office buildings, residences, and cars. And no one took a knee. Members of Congress from both parties stood together on the Capitol steps and sang a hymn. Churches were filled with people praying. Young men and women put aside their studies or their lives to enlist in the military. America was at war. And we were united.

Here’s what didn’t happen. People didn’t divide among lines of race, gender, political party, or sexual identity. No sane person blamed America or systemic racism or white rage. If we really were a racist, imperialistic, evil country, surely we would have been told that by members of Congress. But we weren’t told that. Because we weren’t an evil country. And let me tell you, we aren’t an evil country now. Imperfect? Sure, but still the best place on God’s green earth.

We’ve allowed America-hating academics and outright Marxists to tell us we’re all racists. We’ve had frightened CEO’s down on their knees apologizing to total strangers for some symbolic repentance of sins they can’t even recall or name. And we’ve watched otherwise responsible corporate boards pretend to be “woke” and demand their employees get instruction in some nutty nonsense called Critical Race Theory that only serves to divide people when there is so much to unite us as people blessed by God to live in a nation where color isn’t what we’re about—character is. That’s the beautiful message from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and it’s never been more needed.

9-11 was a slap in our face and it was a rude awakening to the real evil in our world. An ideology that hates America, hates freedom, hates equality for women or people of color is the ideology that attacked us. It remains a threat to our freedom and our way of life. Ultimately, the battle we faced then and the one we still face now is a spiritual battle. Will the Judeo-Christian framework we were built upon remain our foundation, or will we surrender to a fanatic world-view that believes women are property who don’t deserve an education or identity and that killing innocent people for a political cause is okay? Instead of apologizing for America, we ought to unapologetically affirm our love for America. And no better day to do that than a day which reminds us who we really are.

    Thank you for keeping us informed. Soooo grateful! I read everything you write!
    Regarding the controversy of vaccinated and unvaccinated. I would be grateful for someone to explain scientifically how an unvaccinated person can be any more “dangerous” than a vaccinated person. Common sense tells us both groups can spread the virus. Also scientifically the doctor who invented the mRNA has stated that this was not intended for the purpose it is being used. Dr. Malone has very good, helpful, accurate information.
    What is my future when my doctor has told me not to get the shots.

    Also, scientifically, it is impossible to eradicate viruses. They will mutate and come back to bite!
    Blessings of grace and peace, Governor

    The only difference I see in 20 years is the tyrants and radicals are in our own government. May God have mercy on our souls.

    Mike,
    Are you aware of VAERS? There have been many deaths and many serious side effects from the shot!
    And it doesn’t even keep you from getting covid!
    Also therapeutics have been demonized! Many great Drs etc are warning of long term effects as well as short term effects.
    Please do research!!’

    Dear Governor Huckabee: As time goes by, people want the Covid shot LESS. There are many reasons. I will list the most common:
    1. Reports and first hand witnessing of terrible side effects, including death, particularly in the young;
    2. The government demonizing, suppressing and BANNING good therapeutics like HCQ and Ivermectin. This is particularly stupid, because it will A. Keep people from dying, and B. Grant natural immunity to Covid.
    So there are, I believe, the 2 biggest reasons. Sad it's been distilled to "vaccine hesitant" or a "political issue". People are not as stupid as the elites and media think they are. Thanks for your newsletter, I look forward to reading it every day. Deb

    I grew up in a military family. My dad served under Gen Patton in World War II, and he loved and respected him. My brother served in the United States Marine Corp and he loved it I was drafted
    in the 60's and then volunteered to go to Vietnam. I wanted to carry on my family tradition. I was taught at a early age to love God, love and respect my parents. I also was taught to respect our
    beloved country, the United States of America. I am 71 years of age medivac in 1970. I can not
    understand why 50% of this country hate it. If they hate this country so much, why don't they leave. It is because they love to moan and whine and sit on their tails because they are pure lazy.
    If you are to live in this great God given country patriots have to fight for it It is not free. Many of my friends have shed their blood and lives for this Great Country.

    Hello, Gov. Huckabee,
    Please have the Front Line Doctors on your show! There are so many good ways to avoid/treat this covid plague, you will be surprised. And the next time anyone sneers and says “ the unvax’d” just insert a different noun, for instance: Christian, Jew, Muslim, vegan, like that. Gives it a whole different sound, doesn’t it? Love your show and your daily emails! ??????
