Church: California Pastor Dr. John MacArthur Interview on Tucker Carlson 7/28/2020 [VIDEO]

Video

Fox News Tucker Carlson show on 7/28/2020 featured an interview with Dr. John MacArthur from Southern California's church, Grace Community Church, addressing the several month issue of an American state of the union prohibiting churches from Sunday services or any other small group gathering like in homes.

The issue arose when the state governor used the pandemic and emergency declaration as a way to illegitimatize churches' God given mandate to serve him and the American 1st amendment of "prohibiting the free exercise thereof," freedom to assemble, free speech, and even peaceful protest. Beyond these initial two points, the state governor allowed for other things and people to exercise rights and even beyond their rights like rioting as well as other legal and illegal activity (abortion, liquor stores, protests, destruction of people’s property and businesses, etc.).
