Welcome back everyone He was the first member of the Nixon administration to be busted for Watergate but.

From behind bars He found got.

And credits christianity for turning his life around he's now trying to start a national revolution focused on ethics joining me now with his stories former -- since.

-- good morning she missed calls.

They want to -- to go that we would it.

I know victim if you could go back in time you would have done things a little bit differently but that was the -- that was before you had found christianity is that -- totally changed your life.

You know Jesus Christ changed my life and -- in the same sense.

And I've been working in the presence with 35 years and what I've seen Gretchen is the complete moral breakdown.

Crime has caused not -- and -- -- -- poverty is everybody in the twentieth century thought it's caused by people making -- moral choices.

So I have a passion now for this doing the right thing.

And was starting a movement a grassroots movement starting this weekend.

And 350 locations across America a video series that we've launched which is good for schools and churches and families of you're on Brit Hume as the moderator we did -- the Princeton last year.

Professor Robert George and I -- host it's a great it's a game changer of people's if people start watching this and doing what we're suggesting in this movement we started.

You're gonna see a change in the moral values of America I think all of us would agree that we're in the middle of -- complete.

Moral breakdown -- is just the way things are supposed to be but we've lost that.

So it's it's very interesting to listen to mr.

-- because a lot of people feel.

Like when people go to prison maybe they can't be rehabilitated they can't change their ways.

And then they see somebody like you -- the work that you're doing and maybe they have a different -- about right.

Well -- -- of I've got a blessing from god because I've seen thousands of lives transformed the prisons and most of those many of those people are now while working doing the same kind of thing I'm doing.

And that's why this is a grassroots movement that's why we have so many people working with -- because.

They know what the underside of flavors like they know what doing the wrong thing ends up with.

And I wanna start doing the right thing and you can't have freedom in the society unless virtue flourishes you have to build people a character.

And so I'm really devoting these years of my life.

To trying to promote this idea that we can -- character and people the government can't do what it has to do grassroots movement.

The government -- the government's causing the problems and solving it.

So we we really have to get -- -- people and learn what consciences learn what character is.

-- and their families I think so many people would be interested in your movement so how can -- hear this how to make it wrong.

Well they can go tomorrow to -- -- through and some locations across the country you go to doing the right thing is that dot com.

And they can just -- just all.

That's all across the country it's why don't put people to just go.

We will have opportunism people who see it and then you couldn't you couldn't get the video series actually it's.

Thousands of them have been sold this year because it's it's such a pressing need and that's been shown in schools is -- and families.
