I read these messages 14 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: all the time, all the time. I don't always respond 15 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 3: to everyone, but I read every single message that comes 16 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 3: in anyway, the messy japp number is three three one 17 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: zero three. Keyword Mike or Michael. Tell me anything, ask 18 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 3: me anything. Then the second rule is, well, we've got 19 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 3: several rules, but the segment I'll give you is go 20 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 3: follow me on X or Instagram.

Now, this came 26 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: into my personal cell phone, which quite frankly, I don't 27 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 3: like to give it out most of the time. But 28 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: you know, you have to sign up for something, I'll 29 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: use a fake number, or I've got a Google number 30 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 3: that I use just you know some Google you know, 31 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: you can get a Google number. Anybody can get a 32 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 3: Google number. And so if I have to sign up 33 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: for something and they're wanting a that they're wanting a 34 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: cell phone number, I'll give them that Google number and 35 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 3: I'll and I do that simply because I don't want 36 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 3: the marketing messages I don't want. I don't want to spam. 37 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: You know, I get enough you know, bull crap calls 38 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: that are meaningless that you know, unknown caller. You know 39 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: you we've approved your loan. Really, I didn't apply for 40 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 3: a loan. So this came in on my personal cell 41 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: phone number Thursday at seven to fifteen pm. I have 42 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: no idea who this person is. I've I've done one 43 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: of those you know, check numbers. Things I didn't pay 44 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: for because I don't want to pay for it. But 45 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: I did as doug as much as I could. Because 46 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: it came from the three to zero three area code, 47 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 3: which is the original primary area code for Denver and 48 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: I can't find so I have no idea where this 49 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: came from. But they got my number. In fact, they 50 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 3: know my name because the message is Michael. Hmm, that's me. 51 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: Hope you're going to the No King assembly on Saturday today. 52 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: This was Thursday at almost eight o'clock. I hope one 53 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: million people show up in Denver alone, do your part 54 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: to save our democracy. And then it's signed by this 55 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: guy whom I have no idea who it is really. 56 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: I guess Michael, can you just plug in some music? 57 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 3: Because I feel like in order to save the democracy, 58 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: I probably should just pack up my stuff and get 59 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: to downtown Denver and participate in the No King's protest, 60 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: the so called these so called no King protests they're 61 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: just sweeping across the nation, which is organizing nationwide demonstrations today. 62 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: Is not spontaneous, and it's not a spontaneous cry for democracy. 63 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: And in fact, if they are truly crying and screaming 64 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 3: for democracy, that would just give me one more reason 65 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 3: to oppose it. I know that the word democracy has 66 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: been depastardized so badly that it means whatever you want 67 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: to you know, whatever you want to plaster on to 68 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: the word, you can plaster on to the word. And 69 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: you know, many people believe that we are a democracy. No, 70 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: we are not a democracy. We might be called a 71 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: democratic republic. I would accept that phrase, a constitutional republic, 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: whatever phrase, but we are not a democracy. A democracy 73 00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: is anarchy. A democracy is where everybody decides every single 74 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: issue you could possibly imagine, and the majority prevails. There 75 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: are no minority rights, and all it takes is, you know, 76 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: if there are a thousand people deciding something, all it 77 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: takes is five hundred and one people to make that decision. 78 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: So we're not a democracy. All of this is it's 79 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: an orchestrated campaign by something called Indivisible. It's kind of 80 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: curious because what they're actually trying to do is divide us. 81 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: But they're called indivisible. That is a network that is 82 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 3: built by former congressional staffers. These are people that worked 83 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill. These are people that may have worked 84 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: for your congressman or your senator. Where do they get 85 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: their money? The George Soros Open Society empire. I use 86 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 3: it that phrase haltingly simply because it's easy to demonize 87 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: George Soros. But what I want you to understand is, 88 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: you know, George Soros himself is not writing a check 89 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: to Indivisible. 90 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: George Soros and his son. 91 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: Who is never really taking taking over the business of 92 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: destroying mankind. 93 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: They have this. 94 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 3: Huge network, this network of these tentacle tentacles of networks 95 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: that just spread out like a deformed octopus that's got, 96 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: you know, a bazillion tentacles, not just eight or sixteen 97 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: or whatever. And they fund all of those organizations, which 98 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: in turn fund or other organizations, which in turn fund 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: other organizations. And the money just keeps getting filtered down 100 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: and down and down and down until it finally reaches 101 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: a group like here in Denver who's trying to organize 102 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: a no King's protest. This group, Indivisible, was founded back 103 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen Leo Greenberg and ezra At eleven. It 104 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: began as a viral Google doc, a Google doc, and 105 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 3: the whole purpose of this Google doc Google document was 106 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 3: to teach progressives how to resist Donald Trump. Now, within 107 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: just a few weeks, the founders transformed this simple Google 108 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: doc into a professionalized operation with a staff, an organization, 109 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 3: a hierarchy, everything that you need to run an organization 110 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 3: flush with money from all the same sources that have 111 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: been quietly shaping the left wing activism for decades. And 112 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: I think one of the reasons they were successful is 113 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: congressional staffers have an amazing network. There's every kind of 114 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 3: group represented by congressional staffers. If you want to take 115 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 3: Democrat identity politics, and let's just say, we have a 116 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 3: shelf over here, and we have a Mason jar for 117 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: every single possible identity politic vertical you can imagine. And 118 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 3: then over here, I've got all these current and former 119 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: congressional staffers lined up. I can pick them up, you know, 120 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: pick them up by their hair, and drop them into 121 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: these different Mason jars, and pretty soon every I may 122 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: still have a group of staffers left over here, but 123 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 3: I can fill those Mason jars with a third or 124 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 3: a half of the staffers of current and former staffers, 125 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: and I can feel every identity politic you can possibly imagine. 126 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: So at first glance, this group, this movement appears to 127 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 3: be a grassroots like me getting a text message. That's 128 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: pretty damn good grassroots ticking. That's pretty good damn good 129 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: ressroots organizing. And it appears to be on the surface, 130 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: it's this idea of we've got to fight against unchecked 131 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: executive power. That Donald Trump is acting like a king, 132 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: he's acting like a tyrant, and he's doing all of 133 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: these things, which is an anathema to Americans because we 134 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: don't believe in kings. In fact, we don't even like 135 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: it when we get you know, families that tend to 136 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 3: be kind of monarchial. They you know, the Bushes or 137 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 3: the Kennedys, or for that matter, and John Quincy Adams. 138 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: We just don't like that. 139 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: So how did this organization get as far as it 140 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: has and what are they really up to? Well that's 141 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: coming up next. It's a Weekend with Michael Brown.

I love talking to all of you all 152 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 3: across the country night. And you know, it's great to 153 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 3: have such a wide variety of people listening in talking 154 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: about the No Kings movement. I was just talking to 155 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 3: Michael who's out in Los Angeles, out in Sherman Oaks, 156 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: and he's identified several close to him. So I'm trying 157 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: to encourage my LA producer to get off his button, 158 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 3: go out and you know, throw a few mall TOF cocktails, 159 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 3: throw a couple of bricks somewhere. You know, then some frustrations. 160 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 3: You know, he has to work with me every Saturday, 161 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 3: so I know he leaves here, you know when we finished, 162 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 3: you know, after three hours, and he's got to do 163 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 3: the podcast and do all of that. So when he 164 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 3: finishes all of that, just get rid of the frustrations 165 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 3: by going out and throwing a few Molotov cocktails. And 166 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 3: then and then don't call me for bail money, Call 167 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: somebody else. Call our boss. Call our boss.

Then when you think about this organization, 173 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: they want you to believe that this is all spontaneous, 174 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 3: that it's just it's this grassroots just people are just 175 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 3: mad everywhere, and so this is like spontaneous combustion. Yet 176 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 3: you realize that when you look closer, it is it's 177 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 3: very architecturally structured. It's organizationally structured. It's a well oiled 178 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: political machine. It operates with great precision and amazing discipline. 179 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: Now only a substantial institutional backing someone that is almost 180 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: like an angel investor who is saying to a startup company, 181 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: I'll give you a million dollars, but I need to 182 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: make sure that you know you've got the right people 183 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 3: in a management structure, and that you have your strategy 184 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: in place, you have your tactics in place, and you 185 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 3: know how to go implement those. So behind the chance 186 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: of their big chance is no one is above the 187 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: law is actually this coordinated effort to do the opposite, 188 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: to delegitimize a duly elected president and then extend the 189 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: influence of a very perverted communistic, Marxist elitist ideological class 190 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 3: of people who see themselves as the guardians of democracy. Well, okay, 191 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 3: if you want to go guard democracy, go do that 192 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 3: somewhere else, because that's not what we are. If you 193 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: want to, you know, I would even accept, not that 194 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: I would approve of what they're doing, but if you 195 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 3: would just get your language right. You want to be 196 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: the guardians of the constitution. No, they want to be 197 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: the guardians of democracy because that just sounds easier, sounds better. 198 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: But most importantly, when I say guardians of democracy, what 199 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: does that do well? That place to what Rush used 200 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 3: to refer to as the low information voter, that place 201 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 3: to the people with low IQs, that place to the 202 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: people and don't really understand how this country operates or 203 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 3: the history of this country, which is a sad commentary 204 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: on this country too. There are two people at the 205 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: center of this organization. As I said, it's Leah Greenberg 206 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: and Ezra Levin, and they're anything but amateurs. Let's take 207 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: Leah Greenberg for example. Her career church is like a 208 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 3: blueprint for putting together a color revolution in this country. 209 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: She earned her degree in international relations. She had an 210 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: advisory position in the US State Department. She was a 211 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 3: Rosenthal Thaw fellow, so she was trained and groomed within 212 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 3: a pipeline funded by both the Michael Bloomberg's and their 213 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: Foundations and the Ford Foundation through something called the Partnership 214 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:37,599 Speaker 3: for Public Service. That very same network a philanthropic influence 215 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: has been intertwined with the Rockefeller originated a trilateral commission. 216 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 3: And this is not coincidental. It represents a very specific 217 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 3: and well intentioned integration of bureaucratic expertise coupled with activist 218 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 3: energy so that they can convert public institutions into training 219 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 3: ground for political agitation. Now you understand why when I 220 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 3: say that these are former congressional staffers talked about influencing 221 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 3: what goes on in Capitol Hill. Let me just give 222 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 3: you a little inside baseball. Long before I became the undersecretary, 223 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: I knew just in my political life dealing with you know, 224 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 3: my congressional delegation or my senators, or having to represent 225 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 3: clients in DC or whatever it might be, I knew 226 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 3: that the key figure was not the senator. It was 227 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: not the congressman. It was the congressman of the senator's 228 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: chief of staff, where it might be their legislative director 229 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 3: or their communications director. Those are the people that hold 230 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 3: the real power. And then you need to understand that 231 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: not only are those staffers in place, but you take 232 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 3: all of the hundreds and hundreds of hundreds of committees 233 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 3: that exist. Each of those committees has a separate and 234 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: distinct staff of its own. So you take, for example, 235 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: let's let's just take the Homeland the Househomeland Security Committee. 236 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: Member. 237 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: Every member of every member of Congress that's on the 238 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 3: House Homeland Security Committee has their own staffers for their 239 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 3: congressional office. Then they have staffers that don't really belong 240 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 3: to them, but belong to the committee. So on the 241 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 3: committee they also have there's a chief of staff for 242 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 3: that committee. There's legislative directors, there's researchers, there are there 243 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 3: are people that do all of the grunt work everything 244 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: you can imagine for the Househomeland Security Committee. So if 245 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 3: I had a client that had dealings with the Householdland 246 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 3: Security Householmeland Security Committee issues, I would be more effective 247 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 3: as a lobbyist or an influencer by going to the 248 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 3: committee's staff than I would beg by going to the 249 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 3: member of Congress. Now, sometimes the reverse would be true, 250 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 3: and maybe I couldn't get the staff to do what 251 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 3: I wanted to do, but I knew that a member 252 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 3: of Congress wanted to do what I wanted to do, 253 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: so I had to go to the Member of Congress 254 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: to convince the staff. Yeah, and that's how powerful they are. 255 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 3: So when I say, this is an integration of bureaucratic 256 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 3: expertise coupled with activist energy, so they can convert public 257 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 3: institutions like Congress and the Committees of Congress, or the 258 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: State Department or Homeland Security or anything else. So they 259 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: can convert those public institutions and then all of the 260 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 3: non government organizations, all the charitable organizations, into training grounds 261 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 3: for political agitation. That is precisely what is going on. 262 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: Greenberg's mentor, Tom Perello, was a congressman because you know 263 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: what else he was. He was also I'm an executive 264 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 3: director at Soros's Open Society Foundation. They had an overlapping 265 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 3: tenure at the State Department. Parrella served as special representative 266 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 3: for the Quadrinial Diplomacy and Development Review. Yeah, you go 267 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 3: figure that out. You go google that one, while Greenberg, 268 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 3: his protege, held an advisory post. That connection is critical. 269 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 3: Parrella went on to run the Open Society Foundation's US operations. 270 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 3: An individual soon after got generous funding from that very 271 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: same network. There's a shift going on here that I'll 272 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 3: explain coming up next' So the Weekend with Michael Brown, 273 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 3: don't forget to send me a text text line numbers 274 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 3: three three, one zero three keyword Mike or Michael.

Welcome back to the Weekend 281 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 3: with Michael Brown. Glad to have you with me. I 282 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 3: appreciate you tuning in. You know, if you like what 283 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: we do on the weekend program, you got to listen 284 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: to the weekday program too. That's pretty easy to do 285 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: on your iHeart app. Just set this station as a 286 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 3: preset six thirty khow in Denver, six thirty khow in Denver. 287 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 3: Once you said as a preset, then you can listen 288 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 3: to me Monday through Friday from six to ten Mountain time, 289 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 3: and you'll get the weekday program. So go get that done. 290 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 3: Right now, we're talking about the No Kings movement and 291 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: what's really behind this. 292 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: We not we. 293 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 3: I don't think all of you do, and I certainly don't, 294 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 3: but I think the vast majority of Americans watch these 295 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 3: movements and just think that they're spontaneous, and they don't 296 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: realize how insidious of an organization there is behind these movements, 297 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 3: all of which are designed to fundamentally transform America. This 298 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 3: is the Marxist movement, funded by people like George Soros, 299 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 3: encouraged by people like Barack Obama, and then get funded 300 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: and go out, and of course the cabal, even sometimes innocently, 301 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: sometimes and mostly not innocently, local media picks up. I'm 302 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 3: sure tonight I can you know, I can watch the 303 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 3: local news in Denver tonight and there'll be some story 304 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: about the no Kings protests down the State Capitol building 305 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 3: or wherever they'll they're having it, and they'll interview a 306 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 3: few people, and I'm sure they'll talk about how you 307 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 3: they're there because they're trying to say democracy and Trump's 308 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: a tyrant and Trump's doing all these horrible things, and 309 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 3: you know, people just kind of half assed listen to 310 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: the evening news and think, oh, yeah, you know, sometimes 311 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: Trump does seem to be going. 312 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: Get things done. So let's go back. 313 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 3: I told you there's two people, Leah Greenberg and then 314 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 3: this guy named Ezra. But before I want to finish 315 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: with Greenberg for a moment, because this shows you how 316 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 3: these people work inside the Beltway. So her mentor, as 317 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: I said, was this Congressman Tom Perello, who at the 318 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: time he was a congressman, was also the executive director 319 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 3: of the Open Society Foundation. He goes on to he 320 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 3: stays a congressman, he gets her a job as a 321 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 3: special advisor at the State Department, and then he serves 322 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 3: as the special representative for the Quadrinial Diplomacy and Development Review. 323 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: The connection is critical because Prelo, the Congressman, when he 324 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 3: leaves Congress, goes on to actually run the Open Society 325 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 3: Foundation's operations in this country. And that's when Indivisible started 326 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 3: getting funding from the same network. Pre shift from a 327 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 3: public office a congressman, to a private influencer mirrors the 328 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 3: very trajectory that defines the modern activist elites. So what 329 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 3: began is a movement of a bunch of congressional aids 330 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 3: opposing Trump has now become a well oiled machine for 331 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 3: a broader campaign to reshape the entire American political order. Now, 332 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 3: let me rephrase the let me state that again. They 333 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: want to reshape the American order. They would just assume, 334 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 3: abolish the Constitution, impose some sort of Marxist utopia, because 335 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 3: they believe that they're leadists and they believe that they 336 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 3: know better how to know how to organize our lives 337 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 3: than the Constitution does, or how you and I do 338 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 3: on an individual basis. So that's her now. Ezra Levin 339 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: Greenberg's husband and co founder. Oh husband and wifeteam. They 340 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 3: play the role of the public face. Ezra worked as 341 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 3: the deputy policy director under Congressman Lloyd Doggett of Texas. 342 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: He had incredible charm and communication skills needed to sell 343 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 3: this movement to the media. He has a tone of 344 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: being very earnest, very smart. He's disarming, charming. He was 345 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 3: the perfect He was just perfect for a generation of 346 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 3: journalists within the cabal that were wanting to frame this 347 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 3: new organization, Indivisible as the opposite of the Tea Party. 348 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 3: But unlike the Tea Party, Indivisible was never a grassroots organization. 349 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 3: It's law unch. Its origin was accompanied by the rapid 350 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 3: influx of funds from the Open Society, grants from elitists 351 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 3: you know on Wall Street and other places. You know, 352 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: the tech giants. Oh, they were all writing checks like crazy. 353 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 3: So millions of dollars starts flowing in from entities such 354 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 3: as the Fund for a Better Future. Oh, I should 355 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 3: get some money to the Fund for a Better Future. 356 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: Until you figure out, oh, that's a Marxist future. 357 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: They want. 358 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 3: A nonprofit connected to Sergey Brinn Google that bankrolled to 359 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 3: build Back Better campaign in twenty twenty. You get my drift. 360 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 3: Indivisible is not a citizens movement. It's actually an NGO 361 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: driven campaign arm of the Democrat Party, funded by elitist 362 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 3: Marxists that want to fundamentally transform this country. So Indivisible 363 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 3: if you want to know what's really going on with 364 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 3: the No Kings marches or protests in your community, don't 365 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 3: think No Kings, think Indivisible, because the No King's protest 366 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 3: is simply the latest manifestation of that organization. Now I 367 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 3: want you to listen. Here's a list of the partners 368 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: that they have proudly published on their website. It reads 369 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 3: like a directory of sorrows or elitist funded Marxist organizations 370 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 3: that want to fundamentally transform this country. Are you ready 371 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 3: the ACLU move on, Common Cause, Democracy Forward, Public Citizen 372 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 3: the League of Women Voters, Those, every single one of 373 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 3: those is an inherent component of the Democrat Party's institutional 374 00:24:54,560 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 3: left machinery. Now, others like Greenpeace USA, National United Voto 375 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 3: Latino are those are long standing allies and progressive coalition politics. 376 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 3: But the others like Stand Up America, Our Revolution, Next 377 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: Gen America, you can directly trace their origins to figures 378 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 3: like Tom Steyer, Bernie Sanders. So, if you're going to 379 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 3: try to feed me full of bull crap and tell 380 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 3: me this is a group of a coalition of independent voices, 381 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 3: you're being disingenuous. It is an orchestra, It is a symphony. 382 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 3: It is a choir of organizations, and they all rely 383 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 3: on overlapping funding pipelines. They share data through their infrastructures, 384 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 3: and they have a unified messaging strategy. This is what 385 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 3: we are up against. This is why sometimes I just 386 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 3: want to just choke the Republican Party because you just 387 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 3: don't understand that you're up against machine politics here and 388 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 3: sometimes in and I get you know, I understand why 389 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 3: I don't approve of it. I understand why because the 390 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: Republican Party stands for individual individualism, free markets, blah, blah 391 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 3: blah blah. But you know what, we could get organized 392 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 3: and still maintain those beliefs, but we failed to do it. Well, 393 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 3: here's the other thing. It's just like this text message 394 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 3: that I talked that I told you I got Thursday 395 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 3: night at almost eight o'clock, in which they said, hope 396 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 3: you're going to the No King Assembly on Saturday. I 397 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 3: hope one million people show up in Denver alone. Do 398 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 3: your part to save our democracy. 399 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: Sign Dan. 400 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 3: That's to create an illusion of spontaneity. That is that 401 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 3: that single text message. I almost think they sent this 402 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: to me on purpose. Maybe they're listening to me today 403 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 3: to see how I'm gonna tear this apart. Because they 404 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 3: want to create an illusion of spontaneity, an illusion of 405 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 3: grassroots organization. But the group individual indivisible behind this group 406 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 3: No Kings. They learned early that unize as Americans distrust 407 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 3: top down movements. So the organization brands every campaign is well, 408 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 3: we're decentralized, we want local volunteers to form local chapters. 409 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 3: We want everybody had the appearance of autonomy. Yet when 410 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 3: you step back and you analyze it, you'll see some commonality. 411 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 3: The branding, the talking points, the coordination. It's all directed 412 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 3: from the Great Oz standing behind the curtain, behind the 413 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 3: machine pulling the levers. As with no kings. All their 414 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 3: major policy themes, such as defending democracy, holding our leaders accountable, 415 00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 3: that is carefully crafted. It's then carefully attributed through digital toolkits, media, 416 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 3: parent appearances, online organizing platforms, and in that way, Indivisible 417 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 3: achieves the scale of a mass movement while maintaining the 418 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 3: control of a political organization. You have to give them credit. 419 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 3: And I want us to wake up that what we 420 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 3: are up against here is a mafia like organization. It is. 421 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: It's like the mob. They have rules, they have their 422 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 3: own set of ethics, they have their own marketing machines, 423 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 3: they have their own communication machines, and they have willing 424 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 3: volunteers to help them disseminate all of that in the 425 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 3: dumb ass media. That really is just an arm of 426 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party. But you want to know how it's 427 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 3: even worse. You know, I mentioned that she was that 428 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: Leah Greenberg was a special advisor at the State Department. Hmm, 429 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 3: that's not coincidental. I'll explain next. It's the weekend with 430 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 3: Michael Brown. Text lines open three three one zero three 431 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 3: keyword Mike or Michael the State Department, foggy bottom. Yeah, 432 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: she just bulldoze it and start over. I'll be right back. Hey, 433 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: So wee came with Michael Brown. Glad to have you 434 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: with me. Appreciate you tuning in. We're talking about the 435 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 3: No King's movement. I suppose my numbers are gonna be 436 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 3: way down today because everybody's out marching and you know, 437 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 3: trying to protect democracy. Maybe you've gone out and you've 438 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 3: joined up with I don't know, Adam shifty shifty amazing 439 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 3: honor and pleasure to introvers fit it out. 440 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: I know today, Well, it is wonderful to see so 441 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 2: many of you out here today. Thank you for coming out. 442 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 2: I was just thinking as I was listening to Bill, 443 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 2: and isn't Bill wonderful? I was thinking about visiting this 444 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: mall with my father, who passed last year at ninety six. 445 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 2: He joined the service at the end of World War 446 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 2: Two and was stationed in Virginia, and that generation and 447 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 2: all that followed have lived in a world that was 448 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 2: ever expanding into freedoms. We saw new democracies being born, 449 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: we saw walls coming down, we saw our freedoms expand 450 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: we saw our ability to associate with whom we would, 451 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 2: to speak our peace, to love who we would love. 452 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 2: And we thought that somehow, this this democratization was inevitable, 453 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 2: It was inexorable. It was like Martin Luther King's moral Acker, 454 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 2: the universe always bending towards justice. 455 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 3: Isn't it interesting? Because I agree with that? Yes, post 456 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 3: World War Two we saw because what we do, We 457 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 3: stopped the march of Nazism, We stopped the march of tyranny, 458 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 3: We stopped the march of fascism. So how dare he 459 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 3: invoke them and America's greatest generation and what they did 460 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 3: to them? 461 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 2: Until suddenly we found it not bending towards justice, until suddenly, 462 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 2: Until suddenly we found that are not bending towards justice, 463 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: until suddenly we found our freedoms contracting instead of expanding. 464 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 3: You know, I have seen my freedoms, our freedoms begin 465 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 3: to contract, but not doing Trump one point zero and 466 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 3: not during Trump two point Oh. I've seen those freedoms 467 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 3: begin to contract with something as simple as, oh, maybe 468 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 3: the passage of Obamacare. Remember if you like your doctor, 469 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 3: you can keep your doctor. Remember that, Oh, you know, 470 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 3: the average healthcare premium for a family of four will 471 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 3: not exceed what was it, fifteen hundred and twenty five 472 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 3: hundred dollars whatever it was. 473 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not happening now. 474 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 3: Oh, I remember the value of my dollar back, you know, 475 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 3: in two thousand, in let's say, nineteen ninety five was 476 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 3: you know, I mean it had lost, say going back 477 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 3: to the eighties, it had probably lost I don't know, 478 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 3: probably half half of its value or something. But then 479 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 3: they come along and they start spending like crazy, and 480 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 3: the value of my dollar keeps diminishing and diminishing. And 481 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 3: then they imposed the inflation tax on us with all 482 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 3: of that spending, and the value of my dollar gets 483 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 3: even weaker and weaker. 484 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 2: Well, we came to realize that this incredible legacy of ours, 485 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,479 Speaker 2: our democracy, is not inevitable, It is not inexorable. It 486 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: is not like gravity. We have to we have to 487 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 2: defend it. We have to come together and defend it. 488 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 2: And that is what we are doing today. We are 489 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: gathered on this great ball to defend our democracy. 490 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 3: Now, let's set aside the word democracy for a moment. 491 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 3: What are they defending and what are we defending? We 492 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 3: do need to stop and think about that, because I 493 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 3: believe that they are defending statism, authoritarianism, They're defending the 494 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 3: very things that they are bitching about and saying that 495 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 3: you and I, as conservatives, libertarians, republicans, whatever label you 496 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 3: put on yourself, that we are the ones that are 497 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 3: trying to impose tyranny. You mean, enforcing the law that's 498 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 3: been on the books for years, is somehow tyrannical that 499 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 3: deciding that a organization like Antifa that has been committing 500 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 3: acts of terror, and I do mean that literally acts 501 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 3: of terror because they're trying to create fear, fear, creating 502 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 3: fear and loathing in order to advance a political agenda, 503 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 3: engaging in criminal activity to advance a political agenda, the 504 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 3: very definition of terrorism. And so now we're going to 505 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 3: stop that, or beginning as we've asked for decades, hold 506 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 3: those elitists who think they're above the law, hold them 507 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 3: to the law, hold them accountable. Now it may not 508 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 3: be as much as you are right now, but I 509 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 3: at least am able to see from a thirty thousand 510 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 3: point of view that, oh, we are on that track. 511 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 3: So I see that we're actually starting to try to 512 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 3: get our freedoms back. They use the language in order 513 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 3: to make the useful idiots in that crowd think that 514 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 3: what's happening right now is tyrannical, when I see it as, oh, 515 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 3: it's actually constitutional. It's trying to expand and protect our rights. 516 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 3: It's trying to hold those whould violate the law, who 517 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 3: think they're above the law, to hold them accountable. And 518 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 3: they can't stand that. As I explained to someone in 519 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 3: the past couple of days, that we disrupted you know, 520 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 3: they thought with the election of Barack Obama that they 521 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 3: could put the pedal to the medal on progressivism, on Marxism, 522 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 3: and then Trump came along and screwed that up with 523 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 3: Trump point zero. So then they had to do everything 524 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 3: they could to keep prevent Trump from getting elected or 525 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 3: even spending a day of freedom, put even jail if 526 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 3: we can. And whether you think the election was stolen 527 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 3: or nostollar is immaterial to me. But nonetheless, Joe Biden 528 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 3: they thought was going to come in and save them 529 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 3: and give them that return back. That they lost that 530 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 3: opportunity with the loss of Hillary Clinton and then Trump, 531 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 3: because we saw what was going on and said no, 532 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 3: no more that progressives do what progressives always do. They 533 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 3: overreach and when they overreach this past time, we recognize 534 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 3: what was going and said no, I'm not going to 535 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 3: do that. And so now because we've disrupted their march 536 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 3: toward Marxism. Oh, don't get me wrong, they're still moving forward. 537 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 3: We're just trying to pull them back and stop them 538 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 3: where we can. But they use our language to make 539 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 3: us think that they're the ones protecting our rights and freedoms, 540 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 3: when just the opposite is true, Just the opposite is true,
