Tucker Carlson's Interview With Nayib Bukele Reveals the Secret of How to Make a Country Great
2024-06-07
[PJ] Tucker Carlson’s interview with El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele revealed the nation’s obvious yet unlikely secret to success over the last several years: calling upon God’s wisdom to guide the country. While it seems a simple matter to prioritize faith in the divine Creator as a matter of policy, it also sounds shocking to viewers in the United States, where godless secularism has all but purged faith from the public square since the Obama administration.

El Salvador is an unabashedly Christian country, much like the United States used to be. There are many parallels, as the United States’ original colonies were founded on the freedom to worship the Creator in the way one chooses without fear of repercussions. El Salvador means "The Savior" in Spanish. However, it’s been easy to see the trajectory of the two nations going in opposite directions in recent years as the U.S. continues to decline in faith. Yet El Salvador has become more resolute.

Crime statistics tell a lot of the story, where El Salvador all but wiped out the violent gang problem that plagued its country and made it one of the most dangerous places in the world. When Carlson asked Bukele how he could save his country, Bukele stated he had a plan, but unofficially, he said, "It’s a miracle."
