1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: You know your house smells, don't get mad. Don't get mad. 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: My house smells too. I'm not I'm not indicting you. 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure you keep a clean home, but just time 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: means you're going to acquire smells. Whether those are cooking 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: smells that get in your paint, your carpet, maybe their 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: animals smells. Maybe you're a smoker, or someone else was 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: just living create smells. I didn't realize that my home 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: had a smell to it until I got my first 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Eden Pure Thunderstorm, the greatest air purifier I've ever owned 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: in my life. This thing. I had it plugged in 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: for two hours. I came back in the room and 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: my air smells so clean. I now owned three of them. 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. This thing has absolutely changed 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: me on top of what it's done from my allergies. 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: Go get one, get two, you like me, and get three. 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: Go to Eden Pure deals dot com.

Eden deals dot com promo code Jesse. 19 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: Cultural Marxism, communism. You hear me talk about communism all 20 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: the time. I talk about it so much. They started 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: making anti communists merch for me here at the First, 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: which you can find obviously on our website, The First 23 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: tv dot com slash store. But why do I talk 24 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: about it so much? I talk about it so much 25 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: because so many Americans, not just hardcore leftists, so many Americans, 26 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: even on the right, don't understand that it's here. They 27 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: don't understand what they're dealing with. And we can never, ever, ever, 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: ever defeat the left until we accept and acknowledge what 29 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: we're dealing with. First, let's establish something here. Then this 30 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: is hard. They hate you, they genuinely do. And I 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: don't want you to walk around looking get your fellow neighbor, 32 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: waiting for shots to be fired or something. That's not 33 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But you have to understand we're not 34 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: dealing with friendly political competitions anymore. It's not like that. Now. 35 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: They think there's something genuinely wrong with you because you 36 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: are not a Republican. To them, you are a heretic. 37 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: As I have told you a thousand times, Communism is 38 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: not a political ideology. You have a political ideology capitalism, 39 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: low taxes, and pro life, pro gun, whatever your stances are, 40 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: that's political ideology. That's you when you knock off work, 41 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: when you're done talking with your buddies about politics or whatnot, 42 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: you set that stuff aside and go do different things 43 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: in your life. Why because it's your political ideology. It's 44 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: not your god. That's not how these people think it 45 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: is their god. There's a reason they never set it aside. 46 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: There's a reason everybody in your neighborhood owns when the 47 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: neighborhood Democrat walks in, because they know what they're about 48 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: to get. They know they can't set it down. They 49 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: can't set it aside. And what do people believe? Historically? 50 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Not always, I hope you don't believe, But what do 51 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: people believe about their religion? Anybody who doesn't believe it 52 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: is a heretic who deserves anything and everything to happen 53 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: to them unless they convert you. And the minds of 54 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: these people must convert. You must be let's see deep programmed. 55 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: How are we going to really almost deep program these 56 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: people who have signed up for the cult of Trump? 57 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: We have there are millions of Americans, almost all like 58 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: almost all Republicans, who somehow need to be deep programmed 59 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: there and it's as if they they they are members 60 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: of a cult. The Trump is cult and we have 61 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: to be deep programmed. Those people that we just showed 62 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: in the US Capital, how do you begin to deprogram them? So, finally, 63 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: the first step if you say this is a cult, 64 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: what's the first step of deep programming? They say it 65 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: time and time and time again for a reason. In 66 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: their mind, there is something deeply wrong with you, and 67 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: you have to change. You have to change. And I 68 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: want to address this white thing, anti white. The guy 69 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: pointed out the right thing. You understand what I'm talking 70 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: about when I talk about cultural Marxism, right. You see, 71 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: communists could never sell communism to real Americans because communism 72 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: you need people to be in regular poverty and misery 73 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: and starving and breadlines, and Americans simply don't live that way. 74 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: Our poor don't. But we did have something else here. 75 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: We had a real race thing, feminist thing, LGBTQ. We 76 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: had these little parts of our society that Americans inherently 77 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: didn't like, they felt icky about. So what they did 78 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: was they simply changed the communist language from this class 79 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: warfare thing to race warfare, gender warfare, orientation warfare. So 80 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: understand this, Yes, it is being institutionalized across every American institution, 81 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: that America is evil. White people are inherently bad, and 82 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: this is all disgusting and wrong, and it is dangerous 83 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: and it is racist. I'm not saying it's not, it's terrible, 84 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: it's wrong, it's dangerous. But the whole feminist movement, civil 85 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: rights movement now, not the greats, but the way it 86 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: exists now, the LGBTQ, whatever the letters are at this 87 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: point in time, these are all just mostly unwitting front 88 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: groups to usher in the same communism that communism has 89 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: always been under a different label. And when I say 90 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: this is in every single American institution, you have to 91 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: understand something. Yeah, I just showed you a little clip 92 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: from MSNBC of them talking about it. Well, you're not 93 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: going to look at that and think anything of it. 94 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: It's MSNBC. Of course they're gonna be nutballs. This is 95 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: in the cultural institutions you've always thought you could trust. 96 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: We have a sixty days stand down in the American 97 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: military so we can look at a white nationalism. This 98 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: is in your kids' schools, this is in your churches. 99 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: To get at that tree, you've got to address white 100 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: supremacy and more particularly you've got to address the white 101 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: supremacy that has pervaded the Church to a large degree 102 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: throughout his history. I'm getting all my life from Christ. 103 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: See that I don't have to be getting it trying 104 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: to get it from my whiteness or from my rightness. 105 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: And in this country those two have too often been 106 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: synonymous to be white is right. I'm gonna go ahead 107 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: and hold back because this is a family show on 108 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: how angry that makes me. That's Greg Boyd. He's a 109 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: pastor at Woodland Hills Church. I would just simply say, 110 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: if you are a member of that church, turn around 111 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: and run out the door and never look back again. 112 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: That's disgusting and wrong. But mister Greg Boyd of Woodland 113 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: Hills Church is not alone. The same thing happened to me. 114 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: This is happening across the United States of America. This 115 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: is an infection with America's Christianity. And that's why the 116 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: cultural Marxist did it. They knew America's christian nature, giving nature, 117 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: love everybody, nature the basics of Christianity in America. They 118 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: knew it could be manipulated and abused, so eventually they 119 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: could get to a point where churches like this guy's 120 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: they're actually working against themselves. What do you think these 121 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: people will do when they finally take over. Do you 122 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: think they're going to be nice to Greg Boyd at 123 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: Woodland Hills Church because he was one of the white 124 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: guys you talked about how guilty he was. Or do 125 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: you think he's going to get marched off first to 126 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: the gulags with the rest of us. Wake up, Wake up. 127 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: This is everywhere, now everywhere. You don't believe me, This 128 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 1: is a person in New York City. I'm not making 129 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: this up. Quote. My school is requiring us to discuss 130 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: our whiteness and how we quote spirit murder are black 131 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: and brown children every day because we can't see their 132 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: black joy and black humanity. I am told I have 133 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: to participate in this. It seems wrong to come at 134 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: it from this angle. I know and see the effects 135 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: of systemic racism all the time, but I know I'm 136 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: not part of that. See that's the problem too. I 137 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: see the effects of systemic racism all the time. We've 138 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: ingrained this in the American mind so much it infects 139 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: the left and the right. Oh I guess, I guess 140 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: I am kind of an oppressor, which how much should 141 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: I flog myself? I feel terrible about it. Oh, let's 142 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: not forget about the white meter. Remember that this is 143 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: this is something. I'm not making this up. This is 144 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: being shown to kids in school the danger levels of 145 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: the different white identities. And don't think it stops at 146 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: racial stuff. It's not that. That's simply again one aspect 147 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: of the communist agenda. Here. It goes all over the place. 148 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: They're more overt about it in other places. Here. You 149 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: remember during the Trump administration you would see little blurbs 150 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: of it. We talked about it on this show. All 151 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: the time of this college professor arrested for communist spying, 152 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: This college professor arrested for communist China spying. It seemed 153 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: to be everywhere. Ryan Harvard professor charged with having Chinese 154 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: government ties. Quote Harvard professor among three charged with lying 155 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: about Chinese government ties. Understand, it's not just here. China 156 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: is funding it here. This is not a one off 157 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: this headline. I could do an entire show on just 158 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: America's university system and the different ties they have to 159 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: the Communist Party in China. They're here and they're teaching 160 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: your children. When you pack little Johnny off to college 161 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: for four years. You want to think he's learning to 162 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: think more and be bigger and better. You better be 163 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: real careful, and it's not. It's not just the pastors, 164 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: it's not just the colleges. It's even in your professional sports. 165 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: You didn't think they were going to let you have 166 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: professional sports, did you. You remember Daryl Morey for formerly 167 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: of the Rockets, when he said fight for freedom, stand 168 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: with Hong Kong when he was talking about Hong Tong's 169 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: clash with the Chinese Time Innist Party. Biggest star in 170 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: the NBA, maybe the biggest sports star in the world. 171 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: You didn't like that criticism of China. We all talk 172 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: about this freedom of speech. Yes, we all do have 173 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: freedom of speech, but at times there are ramifications for 174 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: the negative that can't happen when you're not thinking about others. 175 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: You know, you only think about yourself. So I don't believe. 176 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into a work word or 177 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: sentence a few with darryl Um with Daryl Morey, but 178 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand, 179 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: and he spoke and so many people could have been harmed, 180 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: not only financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually. So just be 181 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: careful what we what we tweet, when we say, and 182 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: what we do. Even though yes, we do have previous speech, 183 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: there can be a lot of negative that complements last question. 184 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: So many people could have been harmed, Uh, not only financially. 185 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: You see, caught himself. He realized what he did. You 186 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: know what he was saying. I know what he was saying, Darrel. 187 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: Be quiet about this freedom and oppression stuff. There's common 188 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: Chinese dollars coming in and we're all making a bunch 189 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: of money. I'll just be quiet that communist money spends too, Daryl. Don't. 190 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: Don't fight for freedom, man, I need a new private jet. 191 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 1: Come on, it's wrong with you. How deep are they 192 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: in us? Well, we had a member of the House 193 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee get busted with a Chinese spy. They then 194 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: kept a lid on it for so long the Chinese 195 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: spy was allowed to escape. What was the punishment of 196 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell? I got sent right back to the House 197 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee. But don't worry. I mean, at least it 198 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: doesn't go clear to the top. It doesn't go clear 199 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: to the top. Oh wait a minute, yes it does. 200 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: The President of the United States, his own son still 201 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: financially invested in it, still linked to it. It's not 202 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: just Joe Biden. Take a look at Kamala. So there's 203 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: a big difference between a quality and equity. A quality suggests, oh, 204 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: everyone should get the same amount. The problem with that 205 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: not everybody's starting out from the same place. So if 206 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: we're all getting the same amount, but you started out 207 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 1: that Darren, I started out over here, we can get 208 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: the same amount, but you're still gonna be that far 209 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: back behind me. It's about giving people the resources and 210 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: the support they need so that everyone can be on 211 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: equal footing and then compete on equal footing equitable treatment. 212 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: It means we all end up at the same That 213 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: is communism. Word for word, that is communism. And it's 214 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: not only important for you to recognize that when you 215 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: see it, you have got to teach it to your children, 216 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: because it is everywhere in America now. They are being 217 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: saturated with propaganda crap like that, and we have got 218 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: to stop it, and we've got to wake them up. 219 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: We've got to wake everybody up. All that may have 220 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: made you uncomfortable, but I'm right. We have an awesome 221 00:13:46,880 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: show for you. Tonight. We'll be right back. Don't worry. 222 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: It's a big deal. Right, it's as if it's not 223 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: as if the president of the United States of America 224 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: is repeating things verbatim that the Chinese Communist Party says. Right, 225 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, Chinese leaders, if you know anything about Chinese history, 226 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: it has always been the time when China has been 227 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: victimized by the outer world is when they haven't been 228 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: unified at home. So the central vastly overstated. The central 229 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: principle of Sijingping is that there must be a united 230 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: tightly controlled China, and he uses his rationale for the 231 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: things he does based on that. I point out him, 232 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: no American president can be sustained as a president if 233 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't reflect the values of the United States, and 234 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: so the idea, I'm not going to speak out against 235 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: what he's doing in Hong Kong, what he's doing with 236 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: the wagers in western mountains of China and Taiwan, trying 237 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: to end the One China policy by making it forceful, 238 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: I said, And by the he said, he gets it. Culturally, 239 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: there are different norms in each country, and they their 240 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: leaders are expected to follow just some cultural norms. It's 241 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: no big deal? What the big deal is joining me 242 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: now to talk about that? Bright Bart News International editor 243 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Francis Martel Francis, I don't understand why one's so worried 244 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: about it. It's just some cultural norms. Well, the scary 245 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: thing to me is that he was excusing his own 246 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: challenge to Shijing Ping as a cultural norm issue, like 247 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: when he says he gets it. What he was saying was, 248 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, I went, I criticized she to his face 249 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: about these problems, but he understands that I'm culturally obligated 250 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: to do that, and I don't actually care about human 251 00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: rights problems. How did this? Francis? I always ask this 252 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: question because I'm so fascinated by it. How did we 253 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: become China's whipping boy? I mean, it's so embarrassing. It 254 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: would be one thing if it was one company making 255 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: pencils or something like that and they outsourced too much 256 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: to China. This is so pervasive, it's everywhere. By show 257 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: could be twelve hours tonight on communism here. Yeah. I 258 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: mean my response to when did this happen? Is, you know, 259 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: how long do we have? Because it started really with 260 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: the Cold War and this sort of Washington mentality that 261 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union the Russians were the real threat, and 262 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: that China was a nation of impoverished, backwards people who 263 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: weren't really a challenge to our empire. And little by 264 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: little we started giving them more leeway. We started treating 265 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: them not as a communist rival, but as an underdeveloped 266 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: country that needed our charity. And before you know it, 267 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: by two thousand they're in the World Trade Organization. All 268 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: of our companies are moving over there, and now their 269 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: Communist party is dick hating the moral norms of our 270 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: private institutions and our private companies. How do we get 271 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,719 Speaker 1: them out? How does it stop? It seems so like 272 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: I just said, pervasive. It seems impossible, but nothing's impossible. 273 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: What's a good first step. Well, I think it all 274 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: starts with the culture, right. It's you know, it's horrifying 275 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: when the president of the United States justifies genocide to 276 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: appease a dictatorship like this, But to me, it's much 277 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: scarier when you see the NBA doing it, because you know, 278 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: my kid, our kids, they're not going to be paying 279 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: attention to a CNN town hall, but they are going 280 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: to watch the basketball game. So I think it starts 281 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: with a genuine push from the ground up from the 282 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: American people saying we're going to do what we can 283 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: to avoid giving money to this regime. We're going to 284 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: do what we can to punish companies that invest in genocide. 285 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: And I think if there's a legitimate pressure there, then 286 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: companies are going to have to answer to that. Well, 287 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because look, I'm I'm 288 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: a parent. I got two bad sons, ten and twelve, 289 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: and I want to take them to the new Avengers movie. 290 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: I've been of course, I'm a father. I want to 291 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: they want to go watch superheroes blow stuff up. We 292 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: have here. This is a tweet from twenty twenty. It's 293 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: a picture with the credits from the movie Mulan. It 294 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: was filmed in some Xinjiang place that's heavily involved with 295 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: concentration camps. I'm finding it almost impossible not to accidentally 296 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: support the communists. How purposeful should we be with isolating 297 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: ourselves from going to the new superhero hero movie or 298 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: watching the NBA. Well, the answer is the most conservative 299 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: one I could give you. Right, you know, be as 300 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: heavily involved in your children's lives as possible. I'm lucky 301 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: because my little one's a toddler, so she's not yet 302 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: at an age where she's going to be watching this. 303 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: But obviously, at some point I'm gonna want to watch 304 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: movies about strong girls with my daughter without having to 305 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: worry that the movie's gonna end thanking people committing genocide 306 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: for their participations shoot in the movie. It's an absurd 307 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: thing to even have to say this, but you know, 308 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: the way to do it is, humanity has thousands of 309 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: years of history and arts and culture. We don't need 310 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: to depend on Disney for our movies, or our books 311 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: or our entertainment. And the clearest thing is to call 312 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: these things out. I mean, it sounds absurd to straight 313 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: up say, you know, the Mickey Mouse Company thanked people 314 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: who are engaging in horrific human rights abuses, cutting people's 315 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: organs out and selling them on the black market. But 316 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: that happened, and that's something we have to explain to 317 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: our kids before somebody else comes in, like Joe Biden 318 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: and tells them that that's a different cultural Norman's that's 319 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: totally okay. What are you going to start talking to 320 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: your kids about it? I will tell you I understand 321 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: yours are young minor ten and twelve, and they know now, 322 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of politics in the house 323 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: because of the nature of what I do. They obviously 324 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: pick up on enough to know I'm a bloodthirsty right winger. 325 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: But they do know the Communism is evil, and they've 326 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: known it for quite some time. What are you planning 327 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: on having that conversation with your little one? I mean, 328 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: my kids turning two and she already hears it all 329 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: the time. I'm from a Cuban family. We talk about 330 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: politics and religion at the dinner table constantly. That's what 331 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: we do. One of my first memories as a child 332 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: was my father telling me communists are the worst people 333 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: in the world. I was probably four or five. I 334 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: don't think it's too early ever to explain to children 335 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: that there is good and there is evil, and as 336 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: long as you're on the right side, you don't have 337 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: to be scared. Yeah, well, what will your parents know 338 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: about communism? Well, their parents spent some time in labor camps, 339 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: so that's a good place to learn about communism. Though, Francis, 340 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought this up, because I can't tell 341 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: you how often I get this in my email inbox 342 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,719 Speaker 1: from people. I'm always screaming about communism. You know, I'm 343 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: an anti communist. Everybody knows that I'm a hardcore anti communist. 344 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: And my inbox is full all the time of people 345 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: who've either lived through communism or their parents did. And 346 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: they're screaming about what's happened opening right now in America, 347 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: and they're like, how can you guys not see what's 348 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: happening before you? Isis is exactly what started, That's how 349 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: it started here. How do Americans not seem I think, 350 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to say that we're spoiled. 351 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean I was born here, so I was spoiled too. 352 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 1: But I don't think there's ever been a direct threat 353 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: to the Constitution as a whole, our values as Americans 354 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: as a whole, the way that there have been in 355 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: countries where those institutions are weaker. In Venezuela, for example, 356 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: which was the wealthiest country in Latin America, because they 357 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: didn't invest enough in having a constitution for hundreds of years. 358 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: You know, their constitution was probably a thirty forty years 359 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: old when Hugo chav Is throw it in the trash 360 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: it's much easier for that sort of country for someone 361 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: to come in and tell them, you know, these institutions 362 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: don't matter. Let's all replace them with happy socialism. That 363 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: can't quite happen in America, I think because because of 364 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: American parents, because of American traditions and culture, where we 365 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: teach our kids to be proud of who we are, 366 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: and that a lot of people sacrificed a lot for 367 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: them to be able to say what they want in public, 368 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: which is good and bad, right, because then you don't 369 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: really see the threat when it's there because you're so 370 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: used to being safe. What is the story with Venezuela. 371 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: I feel like that was a hot topic for about 372 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: thirty five seconds. But you're a miss international, you know, 373 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: all this stuff is everything sunshine and roses down there. 374 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: Now it's one of the worst places to live in 375 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: the world. I wrote a story this week about people 376 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: using a garbage truck as an ambulance. They put someone 377 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: who was ill in the back of the garbage truck 378 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: because there are no ambulances. That's what socialism is. People 379 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: eat out of the garbage all the time. There's a 380 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: migration crisis, the biggest in the history of our hemisphere. 381 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: Now four million people have left Venezuela. We're expecting millions 382 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: more to leave. Needless death, constantly amputations because there's no antibiotics. 383 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: I could go on and on, but it's a very 384 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: horrible place. And the key thing to know is that 385 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: twenty years ago it was the best place to be 386 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: in Latin America. Francis Martell, you're the best. Thank you 387 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: so much, ma'am. I appreciate you. Thanks so much for 388 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: having me. Oh we're not done. I go, well, we're 389 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: having some struggles shrinking the government around here. Republicans never 390 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: want to shrink. They grow it slowly. Democrats grow it rapidly. 391 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: This is a great piece I read here Joe Biden's 392 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: plan for big government. The President's bill would create massive 393 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: disincentives to work in leave future generations with massive levels 394 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: of government intrusion and debt. I mean to talk about that, because, 395 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: after all, it's her piece. Very Nique de Rougie. She 396 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: is a senior research fellow at George George Mason University. 397 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: Very nique, what is this plan of Joe Biden's The 398 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: plan is to spend even more money that the government 399 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: has been spending the last twelve months or like nine 400 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: ten i'last count being locked in my house for so long, 401 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: and even more money than they have the last few decades. 402 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean, both sides have been just incredibly They've been 403 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: like spending. I mean, they spend like drunken sellers, and 404 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: it seems that there's actually no limit to how far 405 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: and how big they're willing to go. And this is 406 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: what this plan is about. Very Nique, I need you to. 407 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you to psychologize some people here. For 408 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: a moment, I realized the debt is the least sexy 409 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: thing in the world to talk about, but on a 410 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: long enough timeline, it is like the only thing that matters, 411 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: and nobody cares about it. I can actually hear people 412 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: turning the channel on my TV show anytime I bring 413 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: it up. Nobody cares. Why don't they care? When this 414 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: thing goes it's going to be ugly, I don't. I mean, 415 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: you're right, you're right. That compares to twenty ten, for instance, 416 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: where there was a lot of focus on the debt. Today, 417 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: no one cares, and in fact, a lot of conservatives 418 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: have actually joined the bendwagen on the and have a 419 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: news rhetoric like, you know what, we can increase the 420 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: debt as much as we want because interest rates are low, 421 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: and it's just, I guess it's just not convenient to 422 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: actually care about the debt because the debt is not 423 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: really what matters. Debt is a symptom of overspending. And 424 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: I think in the last ten years, to be honest, 425 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: we've seen conservatives really kind of move away from the 426 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: position that small government was something, you know, that that 427 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: was that was That's not their position anymore, that like, 428 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: achieving smaller government is just not a goal anymore. Instead, 429 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: they've switched to how do we get Republicans elected on 430 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: a new platform which looks more and more like that 431 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: of the Democrats. Why Why did they set it aside? 432 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: Did it? Was it just the battle didn't seem winnable? Thing? 433 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: Was it a genuine change of philosophy that small government 434 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: isn't preferred? Why? Because I see the same thing you're seeing. 435 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: I see them just setting it aside. I don't get it. 436 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: Why so? I mean, this is not my area of expertise, 437 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: but from what I read to thinking of the election 438 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: of the Trump has actually got a lot of conservatives 439 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: to kind of reconsider what it means to be a 440 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: Republican and to be and how to get basically again 441 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: to get in power and to keep this power. And 442 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: they've noticed that the election of Trump was very you know, 443 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: it was very unusual. I mean, he did not I 444 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: certainly did not hold the free market. You know, they 445 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: didn't have down these free market talking points. He was 446 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: very upfront about the fact that he wasn't going to 447 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: touch Medicare and Social Security. He just never really talked 448 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: about cutting spending. He was all about full worker rhetoric, 449 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: and that meant basically and that kind of basically dropped 450 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: the Republican Party. You know, a lot of voters that 451 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: the Republicans hadn't been able to tap before. So and 452 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: I think I think that's what's driving it all. I 453 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: think it's like the desire to get these voters to 454 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: kind of join the fault, even if it means just 455 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: really actually kind of like letting go of pushing for 456 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: smaller government, which really means less government, not just in 457 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: terms of spending, but in intrusion in our lives. If 458 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: you look at what Senator Romney is proposed recently, He's 459 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: proposed an increasing the minimum wage and he's proposed a 460 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: bigger child tax credit in the form of a monthly allowance, 461 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: which grows welfare spending. I mean, this is quite new 462 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: for Republicans. Explain the Republican transition on growing the minimum wage, 463 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: everybody knows. I shouldn't say everybody knows. Anyone with a 464 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: brain knows the minimum wage that should be zero. Otherwise 465 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: you're throwing the entire economy out of whack. And what 466 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: you make doesn't matter as much as what you make 467 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: versus the cost of goods and services around you. This 468 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: is basic economics that anyone with a brain knows. But 469 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: now Mitt Romney lost his mind. Well, so I don't 470 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: think his views on the minimum wage represents the views 471 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: of all the Republicans. But I'm giving this as an 472 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: example of things that Republicans would have never been caught 473 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: saying before. And now you know, not only is it 474 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: okay for them to say it, but they actually have 475 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: a fair number of Republicans who follow hit or Conservatives 476 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: who actually just kind of think, well, maybe it makes 477 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: sense because if the party's goal is to actually appeal 478 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: to workers, right, I mean, I would argue that there 479 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: are a lot of ways who can appeal to workers 480 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: and say we're going to get rid of all the 481 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: barriers that are getting in the way of lower income 482 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: workers to you know, work do the kind of jobs 483 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: they want to do without you have to get a license. 484 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: We can get rid of a lot of the drug 485 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: laws and reform corneal justice so people don't end up 486 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: in jail for a variety of stupid things that the 487 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: government should have a say in. I mean, there's a 488 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: lot of things we could be saying to appealing to workers, 489 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: but that is not what many of these guys are 490 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: choosing to promote. Instead, they're promoting things that actually on 491 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: paper may look okay, like like forcing employers to pay 492 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: their employees more or are giving more money to family 493 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: and that seems to have an appeal. Right now, explain 494 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: the child tax and how that increases welfare. So the 495 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: proposal is to UM is to give a monthly allowance. 496 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's done. It's basically expending the child tax 497 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: credit that we have now, except it would be paid 498 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: monthly to people as opposed to once a year during 499 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: tax season and UM and it would really kind of 500 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: expand the amount of money that families would get with 501 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: for their children quite significantly because depending on the age 502 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: of the kids, it could go basically you could you 503 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: could get as much as fifteen thousand a year from 504 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: the government in the name of your children. Um. So 505 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: that's that's the proposal. And it's also disconnected by the 506 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: way the payment from um like um like the necessity 507 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: to work, uh, and also to to to be married. 508 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: And so that's that's roughly the proposal. In my opinion, 509 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: it's well, it's a bad proposal for all sorts of reason. 510 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: The first first of which is that I actually don't 511 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: think it is the goal of it should be the 512 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: role of the government to actually subsidize any type of 513 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: activities as opposed to others. So for instance, like when 514 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: you subsidize having children, you do it at the expense 515 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: of those who don't have children, in the same way 516 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: as you know, like you subsidize green cars, you know, 517 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: or whatever. It's I mean, I know people see that 518 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: there's a substantial difference between the two, but not necessarily. 519 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: But also this proposal could create some significant distancentive to work. 520 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: And the third one it is growing welfare spending, and 521 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 1: the way it is doing it is like while it 522 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: is sold as a as a deficit neutral proposal. It is. 523 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: It is like the vast majority of the way it 524 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: makes it deficit neutral is by increasing taxes. So to 525 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: third of the increase of spending on this new allowance 526 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: comes from increasing taxes, and a third comes from consolidating programs, 527 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: so spending cuts. And so I mean you propose this 528 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: to cut to increase taxes in the way that I 529 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: don't mind. I hate the state in local tax deduction, 530 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: but I think like a more free market position. If 531 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: you're going to be increasing taxes or getting rid of 532 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: this type of deduction, you should do it in exchange 533 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: for lowering taxes somewhere else. Bernic, thank you so much. 534 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Thank you for having me. We're not done, 535 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: hang on. I am excited about this one. It made 536 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: you stugg at the heartstrings a little bit. But joining 537 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: me now as Republican strategist Peter Lumage. He is the 538 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: author of the book My Father's Prayers. Peter, I don't 539 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: want to put a single word in your mouth, your 540 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: father's Prayers? What do you talk about? Tell us about 541 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: your father? Please? Look, my family and I are from Albania, 542 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: which was a communist country, and my father always prayed 543 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: that one day his sons would be able to live 544 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: in freedom and find opportunity for their lives. When we 545 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: decided to escape Albania, we were four brothers, Me, Tony, 546 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 1: Paulie and Freddie and the probability of making it into 547 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: freedom it was almost zero. Anyone who was caught at 548 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: that time daring to escape communist Albania would have been 549 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: either executed or imprisoned for a long time. And I 550 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: believe that but for my father's prayers, we would have 551 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: never made it to freedom and never made it United States. 552 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: Tell me about from what you know, tell me about 553 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: existence in a communist country before we get to the 554 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: escape from the communist country. And I highly recommend any 555 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: everybody read this book. But tell me about what it 556 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: was like there whileave Wasn't it wonderful? Wasn't everything equal? Look, 557 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 1: communism is about denying God given rights to human beings. 558 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: It's pure evil. Anyone who tells you otherwise, you can 559 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: ask anyone who comes from Eastern Europe and we'll tell 560 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: you the exact same story that I'm telling you. We 561 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: were told by the government, what the thing, what to say, 562 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: what schools to attend, what kind of food to eat. 563 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,760 Speaker 1: We were pretty much belonged to the government. We were slaves. 564 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: Until nineteen ninety the population of Eastern Europe, especially Albania, 565 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: we were enslaved by our own government. We had no freedom. 566 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: Are God given rights as we know them here, life, liberty, 567 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: in pursuit of happiness. They were completely denied. And that 568 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: was the main goal of the communist regime was to 569 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: make sure that people understood, based on their views, that 570 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: our rights didn't come from God, they came from the government, 571 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: and we had to appreciate that. So that was the 572 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: major concern that lots of judy, of Christian believers, especially 573 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: in northern Albania, we disagreed with this, and thousands of people, 574 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands, they were arrested, they were interrogated, they 575 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: were beaten, they were tortured, they were executed because they 576 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: disagreed with the communist government. What is the decision, like, 577 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: from what you know about it, what's the decision Like, 578 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: you're a man, You've got these sons. Obviously a man's 579 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: sons meet everything to him. I have two of my own. 580 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: What's the decision like, we've got to risk everything risk 581 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: you and your own sons dying to get out of here. 582 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: What is that moment like? Look, I wish I could 583 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: speak with my father at this point. I mean, he 584 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: passed away and I could ask him that question. The 585 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: hardest decision I believe for my father was when we 586 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: made the decision not to see him again. When my 587 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: brothers and I escaped Albania, Communist agents they surrounded my house. 588 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: They picked up my family, including my parents, my siblings, nieces, 589 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: and nephews, and took them to a concentration camp. My 590 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: father was tortured to death in that camp, and I've 591 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: never seen him again. And he was tortured because he 592 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: failed to notify the government, which was a requirement at 593 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: that time that you pretty much spy or snitch on 594 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: your family members if they ever thought it would leave 595 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: in the Communists, the so called you know, the beautiful 596 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: place that they created for us. And I wish I 597 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: could ask him that question, but I've never seen him again. 598 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,439 Speaker 1: Tell me about your life now, your brother's lives. Now. 599 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: Obviously your father made a sacrifice. That is that's a 600 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: hero stuff right there. What has that done for the 601 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: lives of you? For? Look, I believe that he made 602 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: that sacrifice so his sons could live in freedom and liberty. 603 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: And we came to the United States. We did and 604 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: speak word of English. We didn't have anything. We came 605 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: here as refugees, and at that time we would have 606 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: been scattered all over the world. I could have become 607 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: a Canadian citizen, Italian citizen, whatever. At that time we 608 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: wanted as refugees, but we decided to come to the 609 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: United States because we believe that the United States, regardless 610 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: of what we hear from the liberals, it is an 611 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: exceptional country. And what I hear elected officials that they 612 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: from my point of view, they are completely ignored ramous 613 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: what they describe exceptionalism as thinking that we are better 614 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: than other We're not claiming that we're better than the 615 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: rest of the world. We're not better at looking than 616 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. God doesn't love us more 617 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: than the rest of the world. What we have over 618 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: here is a unique arrangement that we have between the 619 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: government and the people. For the first time in Western history, 620 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: we had written documents. The founding Father is made clear 621 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: to us that we are superior, if you will, to 622 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: the government, and the government is serving the people instead 623 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: of the people serving the government. And this is the 624 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: view of the United States, and now we should never 625 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:07,919 Speaker 1: forget that. Peter, do you see anything out there now? 626 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: My whole showed Tonite has been on what we're seeing now, 627 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: this cultural Marxism, this communist infection in the American society. 628 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: Do you see anything out there now that scares you 629 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: in the United States? Absolutely. Look, the entire threat that 630 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: we have right now is an internal threat. It is 631 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 1: an ideological threat. The liberals, the statists in this country. 632 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: They want to make sure that they are going to erode, eliminate, 633 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: and replace the republican form of government that we have 634 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: with a judicial government and make sure that all major 635 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: policy outcomes are determined by unelected officials and imposed upon 636 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: the entire nation uniformly. The United States is not a 637 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: small country like Albania. We are a federal, federal republic, 638 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: if you will, and we have fifty states that are 639 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: independent within the Union. And dad should never be allowed 640 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: to happen in the United States. Republicanism, it's very important. 641 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: Constitutionalism is very important. The founding documents of this country 642 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: are extremely important. And the moment that we deny that 643 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 1: to the American people are not going to become anything 644 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 1: else or anything more than just a simple country in 645 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: the world. America is supposed to be exceptional because of 646 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 1: the founding documents. Should remain exceptional. The world should be 647 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: interested in knowing that America should be the leader of 648 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: the world because we are a force for good. Our 649 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: judy of Christian values have served the world well, and 650 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: I think that we should maintain those values. Where do 651 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: we go wrong? We clearly, I mean, we used to 652 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: fight tooth and nail against communism around the world, Eastern Europe, 653 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 1: Soviet Union, all of it. We were, you know, we 654 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: were the Commi fighters. We were the anti communists for 655 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: the world. And now we're repeating communists talking points. Our 656 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: president of the United States is our major sports leagues 657 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 1: to what China says, our movies are edited by communists. China, 658 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: they pick up the phone and edit movies. How did 659 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: this happen? Look, I think we felt with our public education, 660 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 1: we allowed the educational system to turn our students actually 661 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: into anti Americans. And I hate to say that, but 662 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: we have allowed our educational system system to fail. We 663 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: no longer teach Americanism. We no longer teach what makes 664 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: America great. We no longer teach the founding documents of 665 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: this country. As a matter of fact, I mean, we 666 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 1: have the left wingers in this country that they believe 667 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: that we are somehow irredeemable, a sex system, racistem you 668 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,720 Speaker 1: name it country. Instead of teaching the greatness of this nation, 669 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,399 Speaker 1: the entire Eastern European countries, including Albania, they are trying 670 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 1: to move towards a free market, to move towards democracy, 671 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: to move towards freedom and liberty, whereas United States is 672 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: trying to embrace an ideology that has felt millions and 673 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: millions of people. Peter Lumage, God bless you, brother. Yeah, 674 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate you very much. What an awesome story. Thank 675 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,439 Speaker 1: you very much for having me, sir. Remember this, I've 676 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: told you a thousand times about the emails I get, 677 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: the people who have experienced it, the people whose parents 678 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 1: have experienced it. It's not just that they're talking about 679 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: what it was like to live under communism. That's expected. 680 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: It was terrible. It was terrible. They're telling you what 681 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,399 Speaker 1: it was like to live under communism. They're warning you, 682 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: they're warning me it's happening here. It's happening right in 683 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: front of us. We have got to be aware of it. 684 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: We have got to tell other people about it, or 685 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 1: we're toasts. People have got to wake up around here. 686 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: All right, we're not quite done yet. Hang on. First 687 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: of all, allow me to plug some merch before I 688 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: get into my final thoughts here. Why because anti communist 689 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: merch is awesome and I like to make money. This 690 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: one you can find at the first TV dot com 691 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: slash store. The first TV dot com slash store. We 692 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: got anti communist T shirts, sweatshirts, we got mugs, we 693 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 1: got all kinds of stuff there, so go buy some 694 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: of that. Lastly, our fight right now is not really 695 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,320 Speaker 1: to defeat communism in America. I mean, that's the end goal. 696 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 1: But our fight right now, the fight you and I 697 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: both have, is to wake enough Americans up to realize 698 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: that's what we're facing. That is the next mountain we 699 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: have to clime in the end we want to defeat it. 700 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: The mountain in front of us right now is getting 701 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,280 Speaker 1: your buddy, who really doesn't care too much, to wake 702 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,359 Speaker 1: up and realize these people are trying to dominate and 703 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: destroy everything. Until we accept that, until we accept what 704 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 1: we're facing we will not win. So let's keep chopping 705 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: away at it, keep spreading the word out there. We'll 706 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: do it again. I'll see you. You don't have to 707 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: dip forever. You know that, Ryan, you don't have to 708 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: smoke forever. And the reason I say it like that 709 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,399 Speaker 1: is I have been that guy. I've been that guy. 710 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: I dipped for so long. And what would happen is 711 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: I would decide I'm gonna quit. It's bad for me. 712 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, I don't need any help. 713 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. And I would fail 714 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 1: time and time and time again. I tried things like 715 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: the patch that didn't work, gum of sunflower seeds. I 716 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: tried at all.
