1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: I didn't know if you knew this, but I was 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: looking on the internet and I guess several businesses in 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: the Denver metro area are going to shut down because 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: of what's happening in Minnesota. Good grief, this is getting ridiculous. 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 2: Getting ridiculous. It is ridiculous. By the way, was he 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: eating while he was talking to us? Why not? Well, 7 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: because you know manners, just. 8 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 3: You know, just would you rather have chickens or the 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 3: cat in the background? 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 2: Hey, back off. 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 4: What I'm not complaining, I'm observing because you know that 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 4: I never really listened to what the talkbacks are. I've 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 4: just seen to all of the background noise. I want 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 4: to hear, like where they are? 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: You know? Are are they in some stripper club somewhere? 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: You know? 17 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 4: Are they in some biker bar somewhere? Are they Are 18 00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 4: they at church? 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 5: You know? 20 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: I mean, who knows where they are? You know? 21 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 4: I went all the way from you know, scripper bars 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 4: to church. I really don't know where to start today. 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 4: So we're gonna And the reason for that is I 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 4: I had several conversations yesterday with different people, and one 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 4: of them that actually several of them because it was 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 4: kind of a cumulative effect of people that I considered 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 4: to be intelligent. They're not nearly as probably conservative, libertarian 28 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 4: or right wing nut job like I am, but they're 29 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 4: still rational human beings. In fact, I truly would consider 30 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 4: them to be probably you know, the typical I'm liberal 31 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 4: socially and I'm physically conservative, you know that kind of stuff. 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 4: And they were all distraught over what's going on in Minneapolis, 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 4: and I tried to find out, and you know me, 34 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 4: and you know, I try to listen, but then I 35 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: start trying to ask questions, Okay, why explain to me? 36 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 4: And it all boils down to a simple phrase, well, 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 4: we've got cop shooting Americans on the street. My response 38 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 4: to every single one of them was because some of 39 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 4: them listen to me and some of them don't, why 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 4: don't you tune it on Fridays and we'll do taxpayer 41 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: relief shots? Well what's the taxpayer relief shot? So I 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 4: explain to them how it is a defensive use of 43 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 4: usually firearms, but can be anything else. Sometimes it's by 44 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: private citizens, sometimes it's by law enforcement. But whatever it is, 45 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 4: it is nothing to do with the Second Amendment. I 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 4: mean it, I shouldn't say nothing, but the Second Amendment 47 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 4: is almost a peripheral issue about taxpayer relief shots. Because 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 4: some people, you know, they the only gun and it's 49 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 4: in your house, well, you have the right to keep 50 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 4: them bear arms. Sometimes it's somebody who can seal caring 51 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 4: or open carrying. It doesn't make any difference. It is 52 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 4: about the law of self defense. When you put on 53 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 4: a badge, when you put on a uniform and you 54 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 4: become a law enforcement officer, you do not give away 55 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 4: your right of self defense. Now you're going to be 56 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 4: helped to a higher standard. Don't get me wrong, being 57 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: a cop, being any sort of LEO is going to 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 4: be much more difficult than being an average citizen. Because 59 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 4: you're highly trained. You're supposed to be highly trained. You practice, 60 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 4: you shoot regularly, you have to pass all sorts of 61 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: exams both shooting. You know, you have to go out 62 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 4: and get qualified on your weapons. You have to do 63 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: all of these things. And you know, dragging can just 64 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: go down here to the gun store, show his ID 65 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 4: and fill out the forum, and well, other than those 66 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 4: ten felonies he has, he should be able to He 67 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 4: should be able to buy a gun, take it home, 68 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: and then the next thing I'll know missus Redbeard gets 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: mad at me. Finally I got to start finding a 70 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 4: new producer. It it's all because, as I've said before, 71 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 4: living in freedom is really a tough thing to do, 72 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 4: because freedom is chaotic because each of us. You know, 73 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 4: what's that old saying something about you know, the right 74 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 4: to exercise my rights ends, you know, at your nose 75 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 4: or something. It's I always thought it was stupid, but 76 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 4: whatever it is, it is that we we all exercise 77 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 4: our God given rights. We also exercise our constitutional rights, 78 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 4: and all of those have although I think many of 79 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 4: them are absolute, many of them over the the two 80 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: and our fifty year history of this nation. 81 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 2: Have been somewhat qualified. But why do we even have 82 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 2: these rights? 83 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 4: Well, we have rights because God gave us rights, because 84 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 4: we were born in the m your God, and God 85 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 4: wants us to all live in freedom and liberty. 86 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: We all have. 87 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 4: We all have our own responsibility for our own personal salvation. 88 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 4: I don't rely upon Drag and he doesn't rely upon 89 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 4: me anymore than I rely upon elon Omar of a 90 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 4: completely different religion. But encompassing in all of that is 91 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: the fact that words matter. 92 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: Do you know it? And I know it, And yet 93 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: I think. 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 4: A lot of people are just totally sleepwalking past the truth, 95 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: as if the language that we use is just noise, 96 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 4: and that definitions are harmless, but they're not. Definition shape reality, 97 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 4: and our reality is being shaped by the words. 98 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 2: That are being used to And again it's everyone. 99 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: I use my words carefully, but so do I've got 100 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 4: three television monitors in here. I go, Fox, CNBC and 101 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: the local Fox affiliate KdV R, And as they go 102 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 4: through their editorial process, they all selectively use words to 103 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 4: convey their stories. And uh, in some editorial rooms there 104 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 4: are fights over singular words, but these definitions, they go 105 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 4: with the words that whatever they choose to convey to you, uh, 106 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: that you know, in a persuasive way or in trying 107 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 4: to be objective but not really trying to be objective, 108 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 4: they decide what, let's just focus on this country right now. 109 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: Those words decide what a society honors, what we excuse, 110 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 4: and what we over time begin to abandon. And as 111 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 4: Orwell and many others have said, when you control the 112 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 4: meanings of words, sooner or later you control the direction 113 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 4: of a civilization, You control a society. And that's why 114 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: I think, well, the most aggressively fought battles of our 115 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 4: time that stems from these conversations I had doing show 116 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 4: prep last night, waking up and looking at the news 117 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 4: this morning. Everything else, is that one of the most 118 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 4: aggressively fought battles of our time is not necessarily over 119 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 4: borders or illegal aliens, or the Department of Homeland Security 120 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 4: budget or the stupid picture of Christinome appearing with an 121 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 4: automatic weapon with two law enforcement officers and both of 122 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: us saw Have you seen that video? 123 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: Dragon kicked out the tail light? No? 124 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 4: No, no, no, the video of Christineome. Oh, sorry, yeah 125 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 4: I didn't. I don't all Actually I think I did. 126 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 4: It's on my x feed if if you want to 127 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: look at it, and if it's clean, you might want 128 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 4: to put it up on Michael says go here dot 129 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 4: com because I called her out on it and said, 130 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 4: you know, you look really stupid. And if you watch closely, 131 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: she's mishandling an automatic weapon. She's got two agents on 132 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 4: both sides of One agent kind of glances down because 133 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: the weapon's kind of pointing at him, and he kind 134 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: of shifts his He kind of shifts his body a 135 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 4: little bit and kind of kind of moves back like 136 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: crazy lady here. I'm not sure she knows what she's doing. 137 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 4: There's just there's this dumb ass ory wherever we look. 138 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 4: But let's go back to you know, borders, budgets, everything, 139 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: what encompasses everything that is trying to be manipulated here. 140 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: And I think it's very simple. It's one word freedom. Freedom. 141 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: You ask the. 142 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 4: Modern left, the Marxist, the Communists, the Democrats, however you 143 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 4: want to describe them what freedom means, and you're probably 144 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 4: going to get a material answer. And the material answer 145 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 4: is going to be money, security, comfort, power, protection from hardship. 146 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 4: You know, my bills paid? Is the state making sure 147 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: that you know, we got to we got a soft 148 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 4: landing if we have if we hit hard times, or 149 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 4: if we come here and we're already on hard times, 150 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 4: you know the government's gonna take care of us. And 151 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 4: then if you get you have all those things, if 152 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 4: you have the if you got the warm blanket of 153 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: socialism wrapped around you and underneath you for your foundation, 154 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 4: you've got the government, then they'll say you're free. 155 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: I say you're a slave. 156 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 4: Everything else is treated as optional, maybe irrelevant, those other things, faith, character, duty, self, restraint, purpose. 157 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 4: They all get brushed aside because all of those concept 158 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 4: are kind of outdated the wh in. 159 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: Fact, they're even dangerous. 160 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 4: You act upon your faith, you do things with character, 161 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 4: You have a sense of duty, you know how to 162 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 4: restrain yourself. You don't run around kicking out the tailpipes 163 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 4: are the tail lights of a vehicle because you're pot 164 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 4: at law enforcement doing their job. Wow, that's truly dangerous. Now, 165 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 4: this way of thinking, I don't think just suddenly appeared. 166 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: It comes straight out of Marxist thinking. And how can 167 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 4: I say that? Because under Marxist theory, human beings are 168 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 4: reduced to just simple economic units. You get trapped by 169 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 4: class according to Marxism and circumstance, and the state becomes 170 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 4: your you're great liberator. Freedom in that kind of world 171 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 4: view is something that bureaucrats deliver. And as I've said, 172 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 4: you know a thousand times, the government cannot be compassionate. Now, 173 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 4: individual people working within the government, yes, they can be compassionate, 174 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 4: and they can care about you know, if they're interviewing, 175 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 4: you know, somebody who's worried about their Social Security check. 176 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 4: They can be compassionate and caring. But that's limited because 177 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 4: they're limited by the laws that Congress passes or that 178 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 4: the Social Security Administration promagates. So they have to operate 179 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 4: within a box. And maybe they know the right thing 180 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 4: to do is X, but X is outside the box 181 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 4: and they can't do anything about it. Or one of 182 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 4: my favorite phrases, well that's not my department. Well that's 183 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 4: not my job, that's not it. That's Marxism, and freedom 184 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 4: in that worldview is a bureaucratic package that gets delivered 185 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: to you, and it gets delivered to you through redistribution, 186 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: through regulation, through endless management of outcomes, through a planned economy, 187 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 4: a planned and a planned and. 188 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: Highly controls society. But I would ask those. 189 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 4: On the left in the in the context of everything 190 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 4: that's going on right now, if the government defines your freedom, 191 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 4: do you actually have any freedom? Now you can make 192 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 4: a little esultary argument, because I'm always arguing with myself that, well, yeah, 193 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 4: under under our constitutional system, supposedly we have freedom. Because 194 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 4: if they try to take it away or are they 195 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 4: limited or the same somehow control it, then I can 196 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 4: go to the ballot box and I can and I 197 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 4: can throw those y'ah, who's out. But if I'm outnumbered, 198 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 4: then I'm not. And what's really starting to irritate me 199 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 4: is I think a lot of conservatives are waving the 200 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: white flag when it comes to freedom and it comes 201 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 4: to the language that's being used. They've kind of accepted 202 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 4: this thinner, weaker version of freedom and they maybe it's 203 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 4: on purpose, maybe it's not, but freedom somehow is becoming 204 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 4: to be defined as just doing whatever you want, just 205 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: as long as you don't interfere with somebody else doing 206 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: this exact same thing. Well, that doesn't that sound reasonable. 207 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 4: It's kind of like that saying and you know, my 208 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 4: rights end where your nose begins or something, because that 209 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 4: sounds polite, it sounds modern, and it's totally empty because 210 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 4: it ignores the uncomfortable truth that not every desire leads 211 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: to a good life. That pretends that freedom somehow exists 212 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 4: in a moral vacuum. It refuses to ask whether what 213 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 4: you're free to do is actually destroying you. And under 214 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 4: those kind of definitions, a person can be legally unrestrained 215 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 4: and still utterly enslaved. Its slaved to different addictions, to 216 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 4: pour into drugs, to scrolling on your phone your tablet endlessly, 217 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 4: to loneliness, to no meaning in your life. And that's 218 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 4: exactly why I think we're surrounded by people, and not 219 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 4: picking on any of the individuals that I talked to yesterday, 220 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 4: but kind of collectively as a group, that they made 221 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 4: me think about this because in part, each of them 222 00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 4: is somewhat free, and others are completely encased in their 223 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 4: little worldview of things and they can't get beyond it, 224 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: beyond it. So that means that you and me are 225 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 4: surrounded by people who claim to be free on paper, 226 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 4: yet they are all anxious, they're depressed, they're medicative, they're 227 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 4: lost in real life. And if you're that way, is 228 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 4: that kind of freedom that we're supposed to celebrate? Because 229 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: if Western civilization is going to survive, let alone recover 230 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 4: or stop their trajectory that we're on, then freedom itself 231 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 4: is gonna have to be reclaimed from this wreckage that's 232 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 4: going on right now. And that starts by rejecting the 233 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 4: light that freedom is merely absence of limits. And I 234 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 4: again I'm going to swear a little into theology here, 235 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 4: but at least my Christian understanding of freedom cuts a 236 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: lot deeper. It doesn't begin with desire, it begins with 237 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 4: a purpose. It asks not just what am I allowed 238 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 4: to do, but what am I becoming? What should I do? 239 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 4: Not merely what I'm free from, but what I'm free for. 240 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: When you understand it, when you twist it around and 241 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: kind of invert your thinking about freedom in that way, 242 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 4: it's inseparable from responsibility, from moral direction, from the formation 243 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: of character. It's it's more than just a legal status. 244 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: It's the capability. It's the real lived ability to pursue 245 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 4: what is good, true, and meaningful, and that cannot be 246 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 4: delivered by government. So all of these people, which we're 247 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 4: going to get to inunda minute about all of these 248 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 4: organizations that are creating all this chaos, wont all of 249 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 4: this chaos. They want a civil war, they want the breakdown. 250 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 4: They want they want the fundamental transformation of this country 251 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 4: to be realized at some point. And they're and and 252 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 4: they've hit the pedal to the metal, and they're trying 253 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 4: to do it as quickly as they can. True freedom 254 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 4: is spiritual, it's moral. It enables men to master their 255 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: impulses rather than being ruled by your impulses, to serve others, 256 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 4: not worshiping yourself, to build, not just consume, to aim 257 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 4: a life towards something higher than just pleasure and comfort. 258 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 4: This is the kind of freedom that over time strengthens 259 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 4: families instead of dissolving them, that builds communities instead of 260 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 4: adomizing them, that elevates men instead of infantalizing them. 261 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: It's not hall of freedom. 262 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 4: It is truly religious freedom, and I think it's actually 263 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 4: at play in the chaos that we see going on 264 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 4: right now. 265 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 5: Good morning, Michael and Dragon, just callin to say Hi, 266 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 5: not much going on. Hope you're getting some good background noise, 267 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 5: good mewing. 268 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: Quick kicking the cat in order to get a me 269 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: house sound on the radio. 270 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 3: I needed that smile, thank you right now at this moment. 271 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: Oh, I know I needed is. 272 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 4: Having a really tough time right now because Dragman's getting 273 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 4: blamed for something that is not his fault. Yes, I 274 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 4: just want to put that across the airwaves that I'm 275 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 4: coming to your defense on this one. I'm I'm probably 276 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: I know that I'm as p o't as what you 277 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 4: are right now, but I think i'm pretty I'm right 278 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 4: up there in the same danger zone that you are 279 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 4: right now. Because that's totally absurd. That's a little inside 280 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 4: baseball dragons. 281 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: It's just I don't get feisty about many things. But 282 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 3: when you're accusing me of doing something inappropriate well and. 283 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 2: Not inapproppropriate incorrectly. 284 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: If you're saying I'm not doing my job, yeah, there 285 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 3: you go, then I get pissed. 286 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, absolutely, absolutely, Okay, back to freedom for a moment. 287 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 4: I think we're living through, which I find fascinating. We're 288 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 4: living through, obviously a political war, whether you want to 289 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 4: describe that as civil or otherwise, I don't care if 290 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 4: there is a political. 291 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: War going on. It's a power grab, it's a power 292 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: it's a power battle. 293 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 4: But it's also a spiritual war, and it's a war 294 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 4: for the soul, not just of you, but of the 295 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 4: entire Western civilization. And I don't think this is a 296 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 4: war that can be won by winning elections. We can't 297 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 4: tweak policy, although don't get me wrong that as its benefits. 298 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 4: I think instead it's going to be defined by how 299 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 4: we define the very foundation of life in a country 300 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 4: like this, and that foundation should be a foundation of freedom, 301 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 4: because we've got to reclaim freedom as formation, as foundational 302 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 4: not indulgence. It's a calling, it's not some license given 303 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 4: to us by government given to us because we're freaking 304 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 4: human beings and we've got to reclaim freedom as a purpose. 305 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 4: Even though it is chaoti, it is not in and 306 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 4: of itself chaos. I don't know that I can explain 307 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 4: that difference in my head, what's in my head about that? 308 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 4: But living in freedom can be chaotic, but freedom itself 309 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 4: is not chaos. Now if we don't do it, if 310 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 4: we don't do these things, I think freedom will continue 311 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 4: to row from the inside out, becoming not the engine 312 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 4: of us flourishing as a species, but it will be 313 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 4: a mask worn by the quiet moral decay that Marxism, socialism, communism, 314 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 4: all of these isms put on human beings. And all 315 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 4: we have to do is, oh my gosh, it's just 316 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 4: if if and I know what we're do, you can 317 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 4: send me all the text messages you want to about 318 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: how this started a long time ago, and it started 319 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 4: with government education, and it started with them infiltrating public schools. 320 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 4: I get all of that, and I know we need 321 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 4: to understand that. But if you do understand that, then 322 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 4: you recognize that it's not going to be solved tomorrow, 323 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 4: and it's not going to be solved by an election. 324 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 4: All those things are going to help, and all those 325 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 4: things will put us on the right path, but they 326 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 4: are not, in of themselves solutions. What do I think 327 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 4: the ultimate solution is every single one of us through 328 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 4: our sphere of influence, but first without ourselves really stepping 329 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 4: back and taking time. 330 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: Have you have you? Have you stepped back? 331 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 4: I mean don't. I don't do this enough myself. Step back, 332 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 4: get away from of it all, and without the inputs 333 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 4: like you know, your screen, your phone, your iPad, or 334 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 4: the television that matter, even the radio. I'm actually hurting 335 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 4: myself here. But take maybe one day, I don't know, 336 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 4: a few hours and instead contemplate and contemplate whether or 337 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 4: not you fully understand the battle that is going on. 338 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 4: And it's not just in this country right now, Venezeuela, 339 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 4: the Iranians, the Middle East, Ukraine and Russia. 340 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: It's all over the world. 341 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 4: And it is this darch of darch, this march of 342 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 4: darkness that is trying to spill over and fundamentally transform. Yes, 343 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 4: this country, but the world at large. The DeVos society, 344 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 4: the Ceylon society, the society of the elites.

Democracy is done, 381 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 4: So let's let's turn. If democracy or if republicanism small 382 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 4: are if that's done, if self governance is done, then 383 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 4: what's the alternative? Communism, socialism, Marxism, whatever you want to 384 00:24:53,840 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 4: call it? But that makes me stop? And because you 385 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 4: know everybody was in addition to everything going on right 386 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 4: now and domestically we still have I think it was 387 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 4: either the I forget where I saw it this morning, 388 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal, someplace about.

We're going to 391 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 4: try to help those rebels and those people trying to 392 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 4: restore their country. We're trying to help them along. That 393 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 4: is a way that we're trying to do the same thing. 394 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 4: Rubio did an amazing job yesterday testifying about how that's 395 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,719 Speaker 4: an incredibly difficult situation. But knowing how difficult it is, 396 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 4: we're still further ahead than we thought we would be 397 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 4: at this time. And yes, we're dealing with people who 398 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 4: are and we're a part of the Maduro regime, and 399 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 4: they are a bunch of gangsters and we know that, 400 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 4: but we also know that to go in and just 401 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 4: tear down the china shop, just go in there like 402 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 4: a bull and just break all the china, it's not 403 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 4: necessarily going to work. We have to transition, and he's 404 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 4: going to be very methodical about how he transitions. Michael, 405 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 4: the only way to truly return freedom to the United 406 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 4: States would be to remove the Blue States from the Union.

I mean, that would lead to 413 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 2: a civil war? 414 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 4: Don't we recall in eighteen sixty two that there were 415 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 4: some states that wanted to be removed from the United 416 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 4: States and. 417 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: We ended up in the Civil War. 418 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 4: And if let's say Minnesota onance, you know, do I 419 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 4: give a red ask wet in Minnesota is a. 420 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: State in in this Union or not?

Really, do you understand that freedom to 455 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 4: a Chinese individual is having a good not credit score, 456 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 4: a good social score, because you want to be able 457 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 4: to buy an airplane ticket, you want to be able 458 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: to buy a train ticket.

Up to a 467 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 4: trillion dollars of our ip our intellectual property just stolen 468 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 4: from us, and all was done while repressing their own people, 469 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 4: running concentration camp for the Wigers, illegally occupying vast swaths 470 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 4: of the South China Sea, helping fentanyl into this country, 471 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 4: and threatening Taiwan. Yes, yeah, let's hold that up as 472 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 4: a great pillar of success. 473 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 2: This is what the elites think. That's not freedom. 474 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 4: During the four years of Biden somewhere north of north 475 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 4: of I don't pick pick a number.

Now that is 479 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 4: not a rules based order kind of number, and that 480 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 4: is not freedom. And think about their freedom. Think about 481 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 4: the illegal aliens themselves, which we'd often don't do. Are 482 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 4: they trying to run away from a craphole country? Yes, 483 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 4: I get that they came from craphole trees.
