Brian Kilmeade joins Eric on the release day of his new book, Uniting the States, to tell six moments that he believes forged the American miracle. They include John Adams defending the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre, a mysterious fog that let Washington's army escape Brooklyn, Shays' Rebellion, the War of 1812, the Louisiana Purchase, and John Quincy Adams' crusade against slavery in Congress, with a young Abraham Lincoln sitting nearby.Then filmmaker Dimas Salaberrios, author of Street God, shares how he went from New York drug kingpin to follower of Christ. He says that right after his conversion, a friend put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger again and again, and it never fired. He turned himself in, and a judge did something she'd never done before.Dimas also talks about his new thriller Fettered, written and directed by him and starring his daughter, which warns young people about drugged drinks and trafficking, and his documentary Chicago: America's Hidden War.Eric also marks his and Suzanne's 30th wedding anniversary.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/00:00 Eric and Suzanne's 30th Anniversary05:59 Brian Kilmeade: Uniting the States08:01 John Adams Defends the Boston Massacre Soldiers11:20 The Fog That Saved Washington's Army12:40 Shays' Rebellion and the War of 181216:09 The Louisiana Purchase: Pennies an Acre20:01 John Quincy Adams, Slavery and Young Lincoln27:31 Dimas Salaberrios and His New Film, Fettered32:09 A Gun to His Head That Wouldn't Fire35:03 Street God, Chicago and Why Miracles Are Real- - -LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.
