Why Our Rights Come from God, Not Government | Lt. Col. Allen West

Lt. Col. Allen West joins to discuss American freedom, global threats, and our 250th year. Welcome to Insights with Marsha! 🎙️ In this powerful and illuminating episode, we sit down with the distinguished Lieutenant Colonel Allen West to look deep into the structural foundation of American liberty. From growing up in the historic shadow of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Atlanta to completing a decorated 22-year career in the U.S. Army, Colonel West shares how character and a servant's heart shape true leadership. We pull back the layers on critical modern topics, including the persistent geopolitical threats posed by Iran, the historical reality of the Barbary Pirates, and the theological nature of global extremist ideologies. Furthermore, we address the modern cultural shifts threatening our Constitution and why it is imperative to remember that our inalienable rights come from the Creator, not the government. As America hits its historic 250th anniversary, this is a must-watch blueprint for keeping our constitutional republic steadfast and loyal. 00:00 Freedom and Foundations 00:27 Meet Allen West 01:04 Atlanta Roots and Family 01:45 Military Calling and Career 03:13 Growing Up Near MLK 04:22 Combat Tours Abroad 04:53 Why Iran Matters 09:40 Islam and Women Rights 13:26 America Rights From God 16:32 Leaving Uniform for Service 18:31 Steadfast and Loyal Podcast 19:31 UK Guests and Apostasy 21:10 Iran Threat and Nukes 24:20 Jefferson Quran and Pirates 26:14 Leathernecks Origins 27:09 Indoctrination And Propaganda 28:26 Campus Activism Backlash 30:24 Faith Roots Revival 32:15 Truth Not Just Good 33:50 Campus Speech On Immigration 37:13 Freedom And Next Generation 38:45 Goliaths Forge Character 41:30 Advice And Legacy 43:32 Paine Quote Farewell #AllenWest, #InsightsWithMarsha, #ConstitutionalRepublic, #FreedomAndLiberty, #SteadfastAndLoyal, #AmericanHistory, #FaithAndFreedom, #250YearsOfAmerica ✨ Connect with Lt.
