1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: On this episode of Newts World. The recent win by

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: Glenn Yuncan, the Republican candidate and the Virginia governor's race,

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: surprised some people since he was runn against Terry mccalliffe,

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: a Democrat who had served as Virginia's governor from twenty

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: fourteen to twenty eighteen. Some underestimated Yncan's ability to win

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: because Virginia has recently turned from being a rid to

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: a blue state, and Joe Biden carried the state by

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: some ten points. But for the voters of Virginia, an

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: important issue emerged during the election. Education. Voters challenged the

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: right of school boards to dictate what happens in schools

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: versus what influence and voice parents should have about what

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: happens in the children's education. So much of the national

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: attention about school boards focused on Loudon County, Virginia, where

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: parents demanded accountability from their school board over critical race

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: theory being taught in classrooms and when Canada. Terry mccalliff

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: said in the debate quote, I'm not going to let

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: parents come into schools and actually take books out and

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: make their own decision. Mccaulliff said during the debate. I

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. Well,

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: that one comment made parents everywhere set up and pay attention,

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: and the issue of education drove voters to the polls.

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear from two people deeply involved in

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 1: the school board issue in Virginia, so I'm really pleased

24
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: to welcome my two guests, she Van Fleet, who made

25
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: an extraordinary speech to the school board in Loudon County,

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,639
Speaker 1: and Adam Waldeck, the president of seventeen seventy six Action,

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: an advocacy organization fighting anti American indoctrination schools. I want

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: to welcome both of you and thank you for joining

29
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: me today. I think it's important for people to realize

30
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: that critical race theory is a fancy term for basically

31
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: splitting Americans into different tribes based on race, on their

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: skin color, and basically arguing that everything that happens is

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: a function of what has been a dominant class, which

34
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: is white, and everybody else is supposed to mobilize against

35
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: the dominant class and ensure that people who are white

36
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: recognize how guilty they must be because they've been dominant,

37
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: and that now it's the term for every other group

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: to be dominant instead, and the result is that that

39
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: gets translated, particularly for young children, into a very divisive,

40
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: skin color oriented model that is the opposite of what

41
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: Reverend Martin Luther King wanted when he said that what

42
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: mattered was the content of our character, not the color

43
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: of our skin. And it's further, I think, perverted by

44
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: Democratic politicians because they don't seem to realize. For example,

45
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: when Terry mccauliffe on the last Sunday before the election

46
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: said that there were too many white teachers that students

47
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: didn't have someone to identify with, I don't think McAuliffe

48
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: understood how complicated Virginia had become. This isn't about white

49
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: and black. This is about Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Latino, Native American, Pakistani,

50
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: the Indian Americans. I mean the range of people who

51
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: now come here. I mean, you can't try to figure out,

52
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: for example, in Chicago, with over one hundred and sixty languages,

53
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: how are you going to make sure that among student

54
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: or a Cambodian student gets a teacher that is mung

55
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: or Cambodian. What we ought to be saying is I

56
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: want every child to have an excellent teacher to get

57
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: an excellent education, to have a great life. And I

58
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: don't care actually what the race of the teacher is

59
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: if they're excellent, And frankly, I don't care what the

60
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: race teacher is. If they're bad, bad teachers shouldn't be

61
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: in the room, and I think a good teacher should

62
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: be almost without regard to race, and then everyone should learn.

63
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: If you work hard in your study, you two can rise,

64
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: and you two can have an exceptional life. I don't

65
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: know if that captures it. She for you and Adam,

66
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: but that's sort of my take on it. To me,

67
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: it's just remind me of mouse class conflict theory. I

68
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: called a CCT and CRT and CCT same thing. One goal, divide,

69
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: divide people, divide people are using different criteria one would

70
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: raise another used class exactly the same thing. It is

71
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: both boxes. She how did you become involved in what

72
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: was going on in the schools in Loudon County. Well,

73
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: for me, the story is because of my experience of

74
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: the Cultural Revolution. I notice something is not right. For

75
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: a long time. I just noticed young people, especially children

76
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: of Chinese immigrants, that they would make comments such as

77
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: this country is just a racist country, and that we

78
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: are privileged, that because Chinese immigrants mostly very successful, it's

79
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: building in this area, and that we don't understand what

80
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: oppression is. And to us it is just alarming because

81
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: many of the Chinese immigrants come to this country. We

82
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: just love this country and we loved the opportunity that

83
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: we were given to achieve our American dreams. But back

84
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: then I did not have a name like CRT. I

85
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: just noticed that the school were teaching children to hate

86
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: this country. And of course after Witness twenty twenty and

87
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: I just said, this is absolutely cultural revolution, and I

88
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: just feel like I got to do something, and I

89
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: did not really know what to do, never involved politically.

90
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: Manure a unique vantage point because you grew up in

91
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: Mauzidung's Communists China during the Cultural Revolution, and I think

92
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: your witness about that, which you talked about in your speech,

93
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: I think if you could share with us your sense

94
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: that critical race theory has its roots in cultural Marxism

95
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: and your own experience from China and why you value

96
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: freedom in America so much, I think it helps people

97
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: to get your kind of first person witness to what's

98
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: going on. Yes, the major similarity between CRT, and what

99
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: I experienced in the Culture Revolution is the big division.

100
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: And here we know it's raised critical race theory. But

101
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: growing up in Mouse China, Maou's class and he has

102
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: a book with the title Class Conflict Theory, and that's

103
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: the length that we are taught to look at everything.

104
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: We look at everything in terms of class. Mao divided

105
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: the whole China into like two camps. The pressers were

106
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: belonged to the Black camp and the so called a

107
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: press belong to the Red camp. We're taught that the

108
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: people belong to the Black camp enemies and we know

109
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: who they are even in school, and that's not it.

110
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: And also the label is hereditary. Once your parents were

111
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: deemed as class enemy, you pass that to your children

112
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: and children's children. And to me, that is absolutely the RT.

113
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: And it's not like whether you are a racist. No,

114
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: if you're a born certain way you become racist. It's

115
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: just exactly what I experience in China. Did you feel

116
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: when you were still a young person and growing up

117
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: in China, did you feel that you were coerced to

118
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: say and believe these things whether you believe them or not,

119
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: because you would be somehow punished or discriminated against if

120
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: you didn't say the right things. I think it's more

121
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: than that we were taught in such a way that

122
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: we don't even question, We just follow, and so you

123
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: don't even have the ability to think. So, this is

124
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: not quite right, but I should better say it, because

125
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: otherwise I would get punished. No, you don't even think

126
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: that way, You just obey. And so that is another

127
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: thing indoctrination, And we were so indoctrinated, we were not

128
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: able to think. When you went through this indoctrination when

129
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,479
Speaker 1: you look back on it, was it literally so overwhelming

130
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: that you had this sort of deep program yourself once

131
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: you got out of it. I mean, how did you

132
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: move from somebody who had been totally overwhelmed by indoctrination

133
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: to somebody who obviously today can think for yourself. Well,

134
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a long process, especially after I came here.

135
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: I think the process of detox but my mind took

136
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: a long time. Took a long time. Yes, But at

137
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: the end of the cultural revolution, when don shaking opened up,

138
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: we start to get information, and information is the key.

139
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: Before we only have one version of everything, everything we learned,

140
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: there's one truth, and that's the party line, so with information,

141
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I started to see, oh my god, this is not

142
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: exactly what we were caught. So there's a process, and

143
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: I think what the young people going now now is

144
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: that they were giving one version of the so called truth,

145
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: and even though the information is available, they were not

146
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: taught to do so called your own research. They were

147
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: just like overwhelmingly from the educational them, from the media,

148
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: just one voice. That's just kind of like a cultural revolution,

149
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: but of course cultural revolution will have absolutely no access

150
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: to any other information. I'm very curious when you come

151
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: out of this brainwashing experience, how did you end up

152
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: having the courage to come to the US, As I

153
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: understand that you were about twenty six years old when

154
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: you showed up here. I mean, how did that happen

155
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: given the degree to which you had been surrounded by

156
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: maoice thought well after then shopping opened up, which said,

157
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, the world is so big and that's

158
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: much better, much better than what we had here. I

159
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: think that is just the fact that nobody can deny

160
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: and everybody dreamed of going to America. I remember the

161
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: first time I watched the American movie and it was like,

162
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, that was an amazing place, So everybody

163
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: wanted to go and I was lucky enough to There's

164
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: an American teacher who helped me to get as cistanship

165
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: in the university. So I came here to study. Where

166
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: did you first come to Kentucky in all places? Yeah,

167
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: and I studied English. But the process is slow. But

168
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: there is a turning point when the world was open

169
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: up to us. And that was a shock. Before we

170
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: were told we were the luckiest kids in the whole

171
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: world because we were born into the new communist China,

172
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: and we were so proud. I thought we were the

173
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: luckiest kids on earth because we did not know anything else.

174
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Kentucky must have been a shock. Yeah, it was a

175
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: culture shock. Yeah. One of the things I remember is

176
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: that it was a small town. It's in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

177
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't like there's nobody here. I just feel like

178
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: this is not a town because there's nobody on the street.

179
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: In China's people everywhere, you can't escape. That's one thing

180
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: I remember so vividly. There's nobody around. Where were you

181
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: from in China. I'm from Chanda, where the pandas are exactly. Yeah,

182
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: you're right, Yes, the men traction yeah, for that city.

183
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: Changdu is actually a big city, a very big city,

184
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: and now it's a mega city. It's amazing how many

185
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: people there are in China. The times I visited in

186
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: Clifts and I visited it's a remarkable culture despite some

187
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: of the challenges. So you come out of Kentucky, you

188
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: end up ultimately in Virginia and you're living in Loudon County.

189
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: When did you begin to realize something was wrong? Okay,

190
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: tell you the truth. I've never penned enough attention to

191
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: politics and never really understood politics. I just have no clue.

192
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: And I mind my own business and get a job

193
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: and a buy a house, you know, all that things.

194
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: I think. The first time I noticed something, it's Senator

195
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: trained Lot and he was accused of I don't even

196
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: remember the detail, but something about being a racist, and

197
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: then he has to quit. I said, wow, so kind

198
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: of remind me of Culture Revolution. But then I did

199
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: not give much thought to it. And then I just

200
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: continued paying no attention until I think, probably past decade,

201
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: I just got to say more and more things that

202
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: remind me of the Culture Revolution, the political correctness, and

203
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: it's getting so much worse in the past few years,

204
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: and the turning point for me is the chaos on

205
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: the street, the BMM Antifa, And at that point I said,

206
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: I got to do something. So every day to work,

207
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: I would listen to podcasts and YouTube whatever. And one

208
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: day I was listening to Dan Bangino and he was

209
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: talking about the things. I said, agree, and then he said,

210
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: get involved and find out your local Republican committee and

211
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: joined them. I remember that moment. I said, oh, this

212
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: is how you get involved. And I stopped and I

213
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: googled and I found Loudon County Republican Committee, and that's

214
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: how exactly I got started. That's wild. So did you

215
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: go to a meeting? Then, well, it's COVID time. So

216
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: the first thing we did is a ZOOM so I joined,

217
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: I paid my fee. I said, okay, now I'm going

218
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: to do something, and then it's the zoom meeting. And

219
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: then then we met the candidates and I can't remember

220
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: Young King. I do remember theaters. And then I continue

221
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: to listen to podcasts and then I heard down Shoots

222
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: about the treasoned cap I said, oh, okay, I want

223
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: to do that. So I volunteered and I become the

224
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: prison captain. But I still want to do more. And

225
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: what really bothered me was the communism that I see everywhere.

226
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: So later I joined the Loudon County Republican Women's Club

227
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: and they're very active. They send out emails and one

228
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: of them is go to school board, and so I

229
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: asked them. He said, I don't have kids in school anymore.

230
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I said, what do I say? Whatever

231
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: you want to say. I said, okay, I know what

232
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: I want to say. So I went there and just

233
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: told them that whatever they're doing remind me of the

234
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: Cultural Revolution and that is Marxism. And I had no clue.

235
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: So I came back home. I said, I did my

236
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: duty and I went to the local school and got involved.

237
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: Had no clue. Was not prepared that the video went viral.

238
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: And I've been very alarmed about what's going on in

239
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: our school. You are now teaching training or children to

240
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: be social justice warriors and to loathe our country and

241
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: our history. Growing up in Mouth, China or the same

242
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: their familiar. They are communist regime, use the same critical

243
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: theory to provide people. The only difference is the use

244
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: class instead of race. During the Cultural Revolution, I witnessed

245
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: students and teachers that can turn against each other. We

246
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: change school names to be politically correct. We were taught

247
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: to denounce our heritage. The Red Guards destroy any sense

248
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: that is not Communists, statues, books, and anything else. We

249
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: are also encouraging to report on each other, just like

250
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: the student Equity Ambassador program and a bias reporting system.

251
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: This is indeed American version of the Chinese communist the

252
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: Chinese culture revolution. The critical race theory has its roots

253
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: in culture Marxism. It should have no place in our schools.

254
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: I think part of your power is that you are

255
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: my witness. I mean, you were there, you saw the

256
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: cultural revolution, you know how bad it can get. And

257
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: I think that gives you a truth telling component that's very,

258
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: very powerful. But I will say then, my next big

259
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: step was when Fox News called. I said, oh my god,

260
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: I did not sign up for this. I can't talk,

261
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: I can't go public. This is terrifying. And I thought

262
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: over and they called, said you have to give an answer,

263
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: and they text me and they said they want to

264
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: interview me that evening. I said, oh my god, oh

265
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: my god, a big decision. And so finally I decided,

266
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: this is not about me. This is about the country

267
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: I love. So I text back and said yes, and

268
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: I was wondering if I did not do that, my video,

269
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, went viral. I think probably even surely would

270
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: die down. And just because I went to Hannity and

271
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: later I keep on talking and talking, I think that

272
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: helped to make an impact. Well, I praise you for

273
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: your courage and your willingness to dedicate time and effort

274
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: to this. It's Roncable. Let me switch now to Adam Waldeck.

275
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 1: First of all, would you tell us just for a

276
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: little bit, what is seventeen seventy six Action. Seventeen seventy

277
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: six Action was really just created in a way try

278
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: to provide some air cover to the parents that are

279
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: out there fighting back against really toxic anti American curriculum.

280
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: And so we see ourselves as an ally of patriotic

281
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: parents and other citizens who are concerned about the direction

282
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: of K three twelve schools, and so our goal is

283
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: just to sort of jump into the fight and try

284
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: to be as effective as possible and try to kind

285
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: of move the needle of public opinion and try to

286
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: ensure that when people go to vote, whether it from

287
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: school board up, that this is really one of the

288
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: top two or three issues in their mind. Adam, is

289
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: it your sense as you talk around the country to

290
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: people that having had this period of parents watching what

291
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: their kids were actually being taught because they were online,

292
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: really was eye opening for a lot of parents. I

293
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: think it was the number one thing. I don't know

294
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: that this ever would have happened if it weren't for

295
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: all the learning from home. So if you want to

296
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: look at a silver lining in term of a really

297
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: bad situation, it woke a lot of people up. But

298
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean almost every parent that I talked to, it

299
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: was because they would be home. You know, normally it

300
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: would be your kid would come home, how a school today? Good?

301
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: What'd you do? Nothing? That was me at least when

302
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: I was in school, and now, you know, they would

303
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: hear something and just be like, what did they just say?

304
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: You know, And I think that's the number one reason,

305
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: far and away. I think everybody kind of had an

306
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: understanding that this kind of cookiness was already happening for

307
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: a long time on college campuses, but I don't think

308
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: they had any understanding of how deep it had already

309
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: been ingrained in K through twelve. When you helped with

310
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the big crowd in Loudon County. Were you surprised at

311
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: the size of the turnout? Not really in a way.

312
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean it was great to see, but I mean

313
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: this issue just became such a big thing there. It

314
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: was getting closer to the election, so there was a

315
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: lot of energy, a lot of interest. We did that

316
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: in conjunction with Ian Pryor and Fight for Schools and

317
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: he pretty much is the sort of the main guy

318
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: running the whole recall campaigns there in Loudon County, so

319
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: they're deep, deep, deep in this fight. And we also

320
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: had doctor Carson with us, and he's obviously somebody that

321
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people wanted to hear from, as well

322
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: as Glen Yonkan and went some series, So it was

323
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: great to see. At first there was a line of

324
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: cars all the way out into the highway. I mean,

325
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: it was pretty wild. That's great. Now, seventeen seventy six

326
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: has been active around the country. Can you share with

327
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: us what are some of the election results you see

328
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: around the country that are giving you encouragement. First, I

329
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: would just say a couple interesting just kind of data

330
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: points that don't even necessarily relate to a specific race,

331
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: but we learned that in a typical year, you see

332
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: between twenty and thirty school board recall efforts around the country,

333
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty one there have been eighty four

334
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: so far, which is a massive, massive jump. Also, in

335
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: one particular election in Iowa that we were involved with,

336
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: there were three candidates. They're running on Johnston, Iowa, and

337
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: they signed our pledge and we went out and did

338
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: a whole kind of campaign telling people in the school

339
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: board district to vote for them through text messaging and

340
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: mail and things like that. They all won. They defeated

341
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: the vice president and president of the school board, flipped

342
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: control of the school board, and it was an increase

343
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: of over one hundred percent turnout over the last time

344
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: that they all voted. And also, there has just been

345
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 1: a jump in terms of the numbers of people that

346
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: are running and a number of the races that happened

347
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: this year where the CRT was identified as a main issue,

348
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: there was almost a forty percent increase in the number

349
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: of candidates that were running for these seats. So there's

350
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: just a lot more involvement. And I think that that

351
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: is a really good thing overall, because I don't think

352
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people stuff was going on kind of

353
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: under their noses that they weren't paying attention to. So

354
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: I think in many ways there's a sort of a

355
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: rediscovering of the responsibilities of self government and democracy that's

356
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: going on that I think is really healthy. And our

357
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: goal was really just to try to nail down candidates

358
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: on where they stand on this so that there's really

359
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: transparency and accountability with the voters. Let me ask you,

360
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: at the same time that you're expanding democracy, having recalls,

361
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: winning election, you have this whole process where the White

362
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: House collaborated with the National School Board Association to set

363
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: up the FBI actually tracking down parents. I mean, to

364
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: what extent is that a direct threat to democracy? Oh,

365
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: it's a massive threat to democracy. But I mean, I

366
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: guess the good news is that this was exposed almost immediately,

367
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: and we just found out the other day that it

368
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: looks like Attorney General Garland may have been a little

369
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: bit dishonest and in terms of describing the police powers

370
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: that we're actually being used, and that's already out there.

371
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: So I think there's a major magnifying glass on this activity.

372
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: Maybe this would have gone under the radar before, but

373
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: it's extremely dangerous. But I do think that a lot

374
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: of the parents that are involved in this fight, they

375
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: are very courageous, and I think that, if anything, this

376
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: is sort of strengthening their resolve. I mean, maybe some

377
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: may be a little bit less likely to speak out,

378
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: but I think this is really kind of a boost

379
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: for the efforts because it's a wake up call to

380
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: what really fighting against. It's a reminder. Yeah, and I

381
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: noticed that a number of the state level school board

382
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: associations have actually withdrawn now yes, from the National Association.

383
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: I think almost half half of them. Well yeah, like

384
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: twenty two or something like that. It ends up being

385
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: I think a huge embarrassment for the National school Board Association.

386
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: Well that's the way it should be. I think she

387
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: did it strike you that it's a little bit like

388
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: a t tolitarian system when you suddenly have the FBI

389
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: looking at parents, I mean not looking at terrorists or

390
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: murderers or foreign agents, but looking at parents. It didn't

391
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: that sort of bring back bad memories, of course, and

392
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: it was shocking that they would even go that far.

393
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: And I was invited by Moms for America and we

394
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: had a roundy and a press conference in front of

395
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: the National school Board Association, and I made a speech

396
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: there and I just started to learn to tweet. I

397
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: twitt out yesterday and I use my photo at this

398
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: school board and then the tank man in tim and

399
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: Square if you remember that, And I said, we have

400
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: a choice here. We can resist in front of the

401
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: school board now, or we can't resist in front of

402
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: tanks later. Yes, if we let it go. And you

403
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: know people have fears, Yes, I understand, but we have

404
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: to overcome fears because right now we demon with fears.

405
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Later we all deal with terra. I thought the way

406
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: you did that, the pictures you had on your tweet

407
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: were so good. I retweeted you yesterday afternoon, thank you.

408
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: I thought that was really creative and really well done.

409
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, Adam. I think at the rally

410
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: that you had in Loudon County, you had some ten

411
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: local candidates sign the seventeen seventy six pledge on stage.

412
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: How did they do in the election? I think? And

413
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: most of them were fairly successful. I'd have to go

414
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: back and look at some of them, at least a

415
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: handful of them one. I mean, it was kind of

416
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: all across the board victory for Virginia overall. We weren't

417
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: actively in their campaigning on behalf of them, so we

418
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: haven't been super in touch with some of them as

419
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: opposed to some other states. But I think at least

420
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: a good number of them were successful. Since you look

421
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: at the whole country, Adam, what's your advice for parents

422
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: who want to speak at school board meetings or run

423
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: for school board? They should do it. I think that

424
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: there is this feeling from people that that's sort of like, oh,

425
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: that's not something that I do. I said to somebody

426
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: the other day, we are the cavalry. There is no

427
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: one else coming to fix this problem. It's really on us.

428
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: It's our responsibility as citizens. We can be upset about

429
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: the direction, but it's also on us to do something

430
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: about it. I think you're seeing an explosion in terms

431
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: of more people that are running, but I think that

432
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: they should just go to the meeting listen. I think

433
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good organizations out there that are

434
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: also giving good resources in terms of how to find

435
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: out what's actually been going on. You can do things

436
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: like the FOY, like a Freedom of Information Act type thing,

437
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: where you can kind of see what actually is happening,

438
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: what's being taught, what are the emails being sent back

439
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: and forth. I think a lot of times these people

440
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: forget that their government employees in a way, and so

441
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: just get as much information as possible and just stay

442
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: in the fight and do your best to do the

443
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: right thing. So let me ask you. But it struck

444
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: me that in a dictatorship you're supposed to shut up

445
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: and in a free society you're supposed to speak up.

446
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: And that's one of the great differences in those two systems.

447
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Does that make sense yes to me. This is such

448
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: a journey that I took with so many patriots, especially immigrants.

449
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: You know, Chinese are seldom involved, and still a lot

450
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: of them are not involved. But for this campaign for

451
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: yan Kin, it is just amazing that the Chinese immigrants

452
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: in Virginia, they got organized and they did so much.

453
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: They send out forty five thousand postcard in Chinese to

454
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: the Chinese household and urge them to vote for young

455
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: King and to tell them why. And then they did

456
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: other things like a two car parade in fail Facts

457
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: and they got so many people. They recruited people as

458
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: far as New Jersey in Maryland to come and help.

459
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: And donnockingno that because they are just like me. They

460
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: understand what is it the stake and they exactly share

461
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: the same views and feelings that I have that we

462
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: have to save the country because we escape communism, we

463
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: do not want to live on the communism again. And

464
