It's my honor and privilege to welcome you to iron sharpens iron for the very first time Darrell Castle. In fact, let me write off the bat give our email address again. For those of you listening who want to submit a question of your own for Darrell Castle.
Our email address is Chris Arnzen at gmail .com. Chris Arnzen at gmail .com ch r .i .s a r n z e n a gmail .com. And we would hope that you include your first name at least your city and state in your country of residence.
If you live outside of the USA, in fact. We not long ago had an email from Heidelberg, Germany from an enthusiastic Supporter of Darrell Castle, so we do have listeners all over the globe. But Darrell if you could give us some basic background of your own personal political ideology when in your life you began to develop any interest in politics and perhaps The journey that you took perhaps you weren't always.
A.
Believer in limited government or what have you. It may have taken different forms in different times of your life. But if you could tell us something about your upbringing and so on.
Well, yes, in fact, I I actually sold. I was an advertising salesman for a major Christian radio station in the 90s.
And I actually sold the Constitution Party an ad campaign and and Howard Phillips did the voice for the ad and. This is when he was running for president. And I also arranged an interview at least one interview for him.
I didn't personally conduct it because I wasn't a talk host back then but I arranged at least one interview with him.
I'm sorry, but I interrupted you. You can continue. I just stayed involved in the part of today.
If you could. This is a Christian talk program a conservative evangelical Christian talk program. If you could tell our listeners something about your faith because that usually is of utmost importance to Christian voters in some way shape or form.
If you could tell us a list or something about that.
And.
This political Views. Of these political views that you developed. When did this finally lead to you? Wanting to actually run for office and I and I assume unless I'm mistaken that. The first time you ran was when you were a vice presidential candidate with Chuck Baldwin.
Well, if you could let our listeners know some of the distinctives that the Constitution Party has.
Most professing Conservative Christians as you are no doubt aware of tend to vote Republican and some Erroneously think that that is actually a synonym Christian and Republican. They're actually synonyms in the minds of many people but There is there are very important distinctives that the Constitution Party would hold to that would make them In the minds of many of the adherents and active members no less conservative or patriotic or No less driven by biblical morality than the most conservative or Republican.
So what would be the distinctives that would set the Constitution Party apart?
We believe that still.
Yeah that there something that you said struck me as being a difference that you would have from many of the Libertarians in the mainstream. Now, I've heard that you have declared that you are more libertarian than Gary Johnson the candidate for president of the United States for the Libertarian Party and I have heard Gary Johnson and other Libertarians even Christian libertarians state that they don't believe in.
The.
Having very strictly patrolled and enforced borders of our nation and that puzzled me because I don't I didn't see Having a strong border having strong borders of Our nation would in any way conflict with libertarian on ideology.
So I was puzzled by that firm stand by some of the libertarians I've had conversations with but if you could explain why you think you are even more libertarian than Gary Johnson and what about the inconsistency that they Seem to have about the Strong borders if they if most libertarians are isolationist to a degree or at least believe in America first I'm not sure why they would be opposed to strong borders.
That's basically what I'm trying to ask. Okay, so that was a fable.
Okay, that's a good way to lose your liberties though if you have anybody coming into your country. Well We do have a listener.
In Ocala. Ocala, Florida. Justin who asks what will you do to strengthen our military here at home? And how will you bring reform to the VA and other institutions that care for our veterans? Well, you could be as long as you want with your answers.
And by the way Justin since you are a first-time Questioner on iron sharpens iron if you give us your full address, you are going to get a beautiful new Bible complements of the publishers of the New American Standard Bible.

Every single week sometimes every day. They ship those out to our listeners. So thanks to CV bbs .com. You'll be getting that in the mail very soon. And you brought up a very interesting point. Because this is the area where some Bible-believing patriotic conservative Americans and conservative Christians make the error of thinking that.
Cautious government that does not entangle our military in foreign affairs that are not our business. They view that as liberalism in many circles. Now if you could distinguish between the the more liberal understanding of pacifism if you will and what you are saying about limiting the The areas on the globe and the instances that would require our military to participate in combat and so on.
Yes, I have heard that every single Foreign Military conflict the United States has been involved in Since World War two has not been a legal congressionally declared war. Is that true?
Yes, we're going to be going to our first break right now.

Welcome back. This is Chris Arnds and your host of iron sharpens iron if you just tuned us in. Our guest today for the full two hours is Darrell Castle who is the Constitution Party candidate for president of the United States?

If you live outside of the good old USA. And if for some reason you prefer to remain anonymous you may do so, but otherwise, please give us at least your first name and location. We have CJ and Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York.
Who asks What is the motivation behind? Darrell and other independent candidates who run races. They must know that they cannot win. Aren't you just making it more likely that somebody even more Diabolically opposed to Christian morals and ethics Hillary Clinton will win the election.
By the siphoning of votes from at least the better of two evils.
Hillary Clinton will be elected and he must think that that's all we have. That's all we deserve. If we do what he told us to do and that is to regain our Liberty and it's just frankly this country is under the judgment of a just God for the 60 million till that is.
No, no, like I said, you could be as free and as liberal as you want to be.
With your answers as you want to if I need to interrupt you I will but. Believe me. It's a lot easier to interrupt somebody than it is to pull teeth. So I'm very very pleased that you have the freedom to speak that way.
Thank you a CJ from Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York. We do have a listener from all the way in Kinross, Scotland Murray who says now that the United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union. Would you take Obama's view that a new trade deal with the UK will join the back of the queue in terms of priority.
As a Christian would you consider it to be ethically acceptable to highlight the current poor health of Rival or would you take the view that any means are justified in keeping someone with anti-christian views?
From the White House. Yes, it looks that way and I thank you so much Murray from Kinross, Scotland for participating with that great couple of questions there and We do have Harrison from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
I have heard that your Vice-presidential running mate is a Mormon. Is this true? And do do you think that this?
Is a conflict of the Christian identity of the Constitution Party is just freedom. Well, thank you. Harrison in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and.
Tell us about if you could some more things that would contrast the political identity and ideology of You and the Constitution Party as opposed to a mainstreamer in the GOP.
To hold the prayers and nothing else instead. They all want to expand the legislate in clear violation.
We have Tyler in Mastic Beach, Long Island, New York who asks Why is it that the mainstream evangelicals in America are by default? Taking the identity of the Republican Party. Of course, the evangelicals should never vote for liberals to due to their approval of a sinful rebellion to God.
Well.
One of the things that I have in conversation reminded my fellow conservative evangelical Christians when they enthusiastically support something that a A so-called conservative president might do. Involving some kind of increase in government power like for instance things that were involved with Homeland Security and so on.
The thing that I remind them about is that you might be pleased now with that kind of increase in government power. When when somebody who is diametrically opposed to everything you stand for is in that office.
You're not going to be happy with that. Is that a good way of warning people about government power because they They seem to be okay with it. If somebody that they like is in the White House, but that could only last eight years.
You know.
We have Arnie in Perry County, Pennsylvania. Who says. I understand that you believe in very strong borders to protect the safety and liberty of? those living here in the United States, but what would your idea of Rectifying the situation be when it comes to illegal aliens living here.
Would you? Ruthlessly deport all of them no matter what kind of lifestyles and Contributions to this country they are making now. Or would you be more selective in the way you deported? Illegal aliens.
Right now I'm assuming that you are.
Since you're a constitutionalist that you're a strong believer in the Second Amendment and Having said that do you believe there should be any Requirements for or restrictions against gun ownership. And if there would any be any restriction against certain types of weaponry for a private citizen to own on on any of those.
Now even for the individual purchasing firearms for instance if somebody is out on parole after a mass murder What would you what would the freedoms and liberties in regard to gun ownership for that person be?
Now since there seems to be some.
Similarities between your views of limited government and the libertarians especially the paleo libertarian and more historic libertarians. What. What is your view about the prison system itself. Do you think that there's a better alternative to punishing criminals than keep keeping them in cages and so on and then often.
Maybe even cages is a poor terminology because today they're very often living in like luxury hotels but and in feeding them and a very exorbitant cost To the United States to to maintain these sometimes very Luxurious homes for these prisoners or even if you want to say a poorly run Prison that is more like a caged system if you will.
Whatever the case may be. Is there a better alternative to the prison system to punish?
Criminals.
Well, do we. So seems to me that it it makes more sense than just as you put it locking people in cages for now.
Would you think that it's it's time for the whole war on? drugs to be overturned and done away with because a Lot of again. I am repeating things that a lot of conservative evangelical Christians Immediately equate that kind of talk with liberalism and yet most of The conservative evangelicals who would be in favor of the war on drugs Would not be in favor of bringing the country back to the days of prohibition when alcohol was made illegal because Many people recognize number one that failed miserably and number two It really gave rise to organized crime it gave birth to it.
But what is your opinion on the war on drugs in general, right?
Now when you said the drug addicts should be treated medically at whose expense.
We're gonna be going to another break right now. And if you'd like to join us.

It looks like that you have there the biblical view of government a Christian response to politics At the word of truth Church in Farmingville, Long Island, New York Friday and Saturday September 23rd and 24th.
There is Another confusion about limited government that is also Causes some evangelical conservative Bible-believing Christians to wonder about.
The the repercussions of a government that is too small for instance in regard to marriage there are libertarians even libertarians who are very personally conservative and biblical in their moral values.
But they don't believe a government should have any restriction on either polygamy or same-sex marriage. They think that the government doesn't have any business at all in marriage. Is your view of the government that limited where people could basically?
Marry anybody or anything they want to marry.
Well the the flip side of the coin though is.
Should the government be able to force you and I? to recognize Two men as a marriage. I mean, that's where the issue is. Period right. So whatever business that you happen to be the owner of. Or if you're renting an apartment or whatever the circumstance where you would be Discriminating.
And by the way for people who shudder when they hear the word discriminate. It's a completely legitimate word. It doesn't mean that there's Necessarily hate attached to anything. When you choose one thing over another you're discriminating for a reason.
So discrimination is something we all do and it can be very good and very important. In fact, very vital but when it comes to saying for instance I'm not going to rent my Home to you to live in because I don't recognize the fact that you two men are married and I don't approve of the way you live that should be a complete liberty for a homeowner to exercise their right of Discrimination if you will.
Or discernment, correct. Why on earth would a libertarian say that the government should force anybody to do something like that? That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, well, it doesn't seem to understand what libertarianism is.
Right.
We do have Don in Canton, Mississippi. Who asks my question has to do with Convention of the States article 5? My view on this is this isn't the right time. Due to the corruption at the state levels. Is this why mr. Castle is against it at this time?

What is your opinion on Individual states having the freedom to secede from the Union if Things got so bad in this country that they just felt there. No, there is no their option. We do have a listener Justin from Ocala, Florida who wrote to us earlier.
He asks what is your opinion on the Black Lives Matter movement. Do you think there is at least a small portion of the movement who is trying to do good? Or do you feel that they are being played as pawns negatively in some and something greater?
Let's see we have John and Augusta Maine who asks. I have heard that The income taxes we pay the federal income taxes we pay go completely a hundred percent. To pay for the national debt would pay for the interest on the national debt.
Is this true? Well on the flip side of the coin with that question though, oh most people if you ask them, where does your Income tax go to they would say well, of course that goes to the keep the roads maintained and build bridges and goes to the military and Goes to our public school system and in all these things that we need to have a decent orderly society.
Is that true? Now a Former Contestant in this political race Ted Cruz believed that the IRS should be abolished and Federal income tax should be abolished. What are your views on those things? That's right, I remember that.
With a constant hold down the budget pay for it. So look, we're gonna have a trillion dollar war and you're sure that's gonna be 200 billion dollars. So so get out there. Very good.

Rand Paul's views on abortion and there are other professing conservatives and professing conservative libertarians Who would say that they are personally opposed to abortion and believe?
That that it should be settled as a state's rights issue. How do you respond to that?
It's not a state. Yes. So do I.
One of the other things that I have heard in defense of Rand Paul's understanding of things is that Murder is not a federal crime. It is under certain Circumstances, but murder in general is a state crime.
It's a crime against the state not a federal crime. So, how do you Respond to that in regard to the abortion issue. We have a listener Robert who hasn't told us what city and state or country he's from.
But Robert asks two questions. Would mr. Castle do anything to encourage constitutional studies in our public schools. I'll let you answer that one first.
Well, and his second question is.
Does mr. Castle have any affiliation with the National Center for constitutional studies? Okay. Yeah, I'm not I'm not familiar with that organization, but Robert you are a first-time questioner on iron sharpens iron.

The issue of Limited government is. As we've been bringing out throughout this whole program is a very controversial issue. And another one that is neck-and-neck with that is How and when our nation should be involved in foreign military conflict.
Now, obviously we've already made it clear That you believe that only Congress should be able to legally declare.
War.
But when do you think? What would be like some of the examples of when if any the United States should Go to war if Congress should declare war on a foreign nation and Require our military to be involved in it.
Is there any Issue that would be going on overseas That you would believe would require our involvement because there are some libertarians Who are even conservative Who believe that we should not be involved in a war with any foreign nation?
Unless they are actually involved in attacking us in some way or or on their way to drop bombs on us. Something to do with a direct attack on American soil is the only Way that these specific libertarians I'm speaking of believe we should be even involved in any kind of a war.
What is your opinion on that? Yes, but is it the only For instance with There is a common understanding that it is a dangerous thing for those who hate America openly. Hate America openly make.
Threats.
About what they want to happen to America if they had the power they would do it to America. They would annihilate America. There are some who say we can't just wait until these foreign enemies actually advanced towards our soil or our airspace to Begin attacking us.
We have to nip it in the bud and get them before they do. So what was your response to that? Type of a ideology on military involvement overseas and also. What is your response to Independent sovereign nations.
That may be a threat Ideologically at least to the United States and our freedoms and liberties that we cherish in regard to them owning nuclear.
Weaponry. Actually you you're right at a very crucial point in your answer. You went dead. Are you there Darrell?
For some reason your phone is breaking up now. Yeah in and out you're still choppy. Are you there Darrell? Yes, that's better. No, but you said we wanted Iran to have nuclear weaponry. You're not speaking of you.
You're speaking of. Right, right. I'd like you to really Reiterate to our listeners, especially those that tuned in late and didn't hear some things that were said earlier. What practical value do you believe?
It is for a citizen of the United States to vote for a candidate such as you who they agree with ideologically and theologically and morally but they Are voting even if they maybe you disagree with this.
Maybe you believe that God has a position in the White House for you during this election. But if someone were to be certain that you would lose and yet they agree with Most if not all of what you stand for. What is the practical reasons they should vote for you?
Anyway, even if they believe it certain you're going to lose.
Well The old Soviet Union where they get the same result so. Those are all some very and now I'd like you to take about three minutes to just.
Unburden your heart and leave our listeners with what you most want etched in their hearts and minds right now.
57 that we're about to leave and in regard one more time to the issue of abortion. Do you think that abortion in all?
Circumstances should be illegal and How would one? Prosecute the Perpetrators of abortion both the physicians and the women getting them.
Well, yes. Well, I certainly agree with that and it is a Holocaust.
That is absolutely Astonishing that it continues in a so-called civilized culture and society in 21st century America that these babies are being murdered by the millions and It is a it is absolutely amazing that God has not absolutely Unleashed his full wrath on this country already for what we have done and We who still live here in this country have a lot to be grateful for in regard to his patience and mercy.
