1 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: Imagine being twenty four years old. You're either living at home, 2 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: you're living in a pack apartment with your friends. You're 3 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: not sure about where you're going to end up or 4 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: what you're going to be, and you're frustrated with how 5 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: you feel like your life is going. Now, I would 6 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: absolutely acknowledge that if you're a woman that's different than 7 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: if you're a man, and I do so and acknowledge 8 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: those differences because the outcome that I'm going to lead 9 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: you through ultimately impacts men, because men are the ones 10 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: that feel the most unfortunate fate as a result of 11 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: this frustration or dissatisfaction with existence. Women are more adaptive 12 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: and cunning and recognize how to navigate the catastrophes with 13 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: which men bring to society into the world as a whole. 14 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not excusing. There's certainly been female influences that 15 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: have driven many negative aspects of history in terms of 16 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: conflict and war and sorrow and devastation. But mostly it 17 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: falls upon our shoulders, but not upon those shoulders of 18 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: that twenty four year old disenfranchised man. Think about it. 19 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: You're wondering what you're supposed to do with your life, 20 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: What aspects of your life are going to give you 21 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: a grand sensation of fulfillment. What's going to lift you up, 22 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: what's gonna give you joy, what's gonna reduce fear, What's 23 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: going to inspire you to leave a substantial mark on 24 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: the legacy of yours existence? Now, these are things that 25 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: men think about, perhaps not in the context of of 26 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: of that monumental conundrum, but certainly young men are stuck 27 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: in this space of trying to figure things out, this 28 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: seemingly circular pattern of of evaluation. Now, whether or not 29 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: you come from a place where you've been dutiful and 30 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: you're your assimilation into what society sets up. You went 31 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: to the school, you accepted the things they were teaching you. 32 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: You were evaluating, uh, and doing and staying within the 33 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: confines of your left and right lateral limits. Uh. You 34 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: didn't react into staunch of a negative reaction. You did 35 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: what you were told. You adhered. You were a a 36 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: a willing member of the civilization or society that governed you. 37 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: And if you were coming from the other side, where 38 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: you were of modest means or outright poor, right you 39 00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: you you acknowledged that the hardships were undefeatable because you 40 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: were a child. There was nothing you were going to 41 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: do by the fact that your mother, your father or 42 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: both of them, or your siblings were older siblings or 43 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: younger were unable to provide opportunities that would release you 44 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: from the state of what you were born into. And 45 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: there's most likely a time as you were adhering to 46 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: that agreement that you were probably consumed with an idea 47 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: of boredom or monotonous or frustration that whatever you were 48 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: being influenced upon was not directly influencing you upon to 49 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: be independent, free thinking, and in a grander sense of 50 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: the liberties that should be God given rights. You went 51 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: along with it. You did it. You said, Roger, I'll go, 52 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: I'll do, I'll listen, I'll pay attention, I won't act out. Obviously, 53 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: in some cases, as a young, rambunctious male, you probably 54 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: did some dumb things. You probably got tied up or 55 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: enticed to test that system a little bit here and there, 56 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: if not overtly, most certainly in your own interpretation of it. 57 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: And underneath all that, as you began to scratch at 58 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: the veneer of that which was being pressed upon you, 59 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: you started to have some deep questions about is this 60 00:05:53,360 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: really what my life is going to entail? The the 61 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: willingness of myself to slip into the noxiousness of conformity 62 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: or slip into the predisposed purpose for me, and that 63 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: pulling of that is palpable. You can feel the thing 64 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: pulling you into it, right, the thing that gives you 65 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: a modicum of satiation, the thing that gives you a 66 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: sense of fear that if you don't conform, the reaction 67 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: to that could be a condemnation that leads to incarceration, 68 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: a condemnation that leads to ostracization, a condemnation that leads 69 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: to incarceration. And so you're trying to figure out what's 70 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: my purpose and all of that. And eventually, after you 71 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: go through the system that's set up for you, the 72 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: system to get you into that conformity of some construct, 73 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: the system that uh uh creates the lanes with which 74 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: you have to adhere to, it ultimately dumps you into 75 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: the real world where you're outside of the scope of 76 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: the protective nature of the womb of family, where you're 77 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: outside the scope of education, where it's it's given you 78 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: all it's going to give you, and now it's expected 79 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: the expectation is that you will once again assimilate into 80 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: the limited or or or fundamental opportunities that exist within 81 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: the particular society that you've that you were born into. Now, 82 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: what does that look like? Is it some shitty job? 83 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: It certainly has to be indicative of the grinding, right grinding, 84 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: every day, waking up doing the thing you're supposed to do. 85 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: In order to do the thing you're supposed to do right, 86 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: which is earn a wage, eke out enough to put 87 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: a roof over your head and feed yourself to sustain 88 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: the activity with which is built into the system. Barely 89 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: getting paid, you feel like there's no way to get ahead, 90 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: you run into the thing that is the provocation which 91 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: generates what Right, the fact that you might start to 92 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: believe that your future looks pretty bleak, that the opportunity 93 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: that was professed to you, that if you do the things, 94 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: then ultimately you will evolve and there will be opportunities 95 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: that you can rise above that which might otherwise hold 96 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: you down. Right, If you're educated, you read, you can write, 97 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: you can think abstractly, you can study, you can gain 98 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: information and intellectual become an intellectual force to be reckoned 99 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: with or you develop some particular skill set that gives 100 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: you an advantage over others, and that particular skill set 101 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: working with your hands, or working in a factory, or 102 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: working in support of the grander system, right, whether it's 103 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: a white collar job, blue collar job, whatever it might be. 104 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: And don't forget there's always the enticement of the outsides 105 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: of those the edges, the things that are the easy 106 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: way around cheating, stealing, becoming a group of an outcast 107 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: component of the culture that acknowledges what you're doing. But 108 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: yet in that one case, you do know you have 109 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: this somewhere along the line, there's been this uh moral 110 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: framework that was introduced to you, and so you you 111 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: push back on it. You you resist the temptation if 112 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: you will, But you still can't afford a house, you 113 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: still can't afford to have a family, and you still 114 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: can't afford free time, which is essentially the essence of 115 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: of of of what I think most human beings want. 116 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: They want time to be able to experience and enjoy 117 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: the fruits of their labors, the fruits of their uh, 118 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: their desires and morality, the fruits of their liberties, the 119 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: fruits of of peace, the fruits of the things that 120 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: give people a grander sense of meaning and purpose. They 121 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: want that freedom, and yet it's just impossible to stop 122 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: noticing that there are powers that are outside of your control, 123 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: that seem to be controlling the systems. And these systems 124 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: are diverse all around the world. But yet it's still 125 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: that same twenty four year old male that's being subjected 126 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: to the systems, driven towards the systems that ultimately create 127 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: or restrict the opportunities for them to gain those that 128 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: grander sense of meaning. Right, And these people, all the 129 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: while that they're out there and they're in control in 130 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: some capacity, they are displaying the benefits of their own creation, 131 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: like drunken materialists swimming in their own pools of cognitive dissonance, 132 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: and have no intention to spread the wealth of their freedoms. 133 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: And the separation is distinct and knowledge and acknowledged. And 134 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: they actually in many cases use verbiage or vernaculars or 135 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: descriptions to demonstrate the fact that that twenty four year 136 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: old male is ill equipped or underprepared to move into 137 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: the systems as the future to take control over it, 138 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: or to manage it, if you will. And the management, 139 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: the management of those systems, those are the ones that 140 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: almost act as gatekeepers to the evolution of that twenty 141 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: four year old. After a particular amount of time, after 142 00:12:52,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: a particular amount of of of awake awareness, yeah, self awareness, 143 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: that you exist within that ultimately, what can happen That 144 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: twenty four year old can start feeling as if they're 145 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: a slave to that system that they didn't create, but 146 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: yet they have to sacrifice their blood, sweat and tears 147 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: in order to assimilate into it, so that the system 148 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: continues to grind on and grind on them. Now, this system, 149 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: or this idea or this fensation, this feeling ultimately forces 150 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: a young man to question what he believes in. He's 151 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: forced to question what he was taught. He's forced to 152 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: question why life is unfair over and over again, over 153 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: and over again, and what ends up happening as as 154 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: a person sits there in stews in a in the 155 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:12,479 Speaker 1: midst of that negative insurgency, that external pressure that constantly 156 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: is is is deluding his sense of of of ambition, 157 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: his sense of of hope. It's almost as if it's 158 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: like it's this He's being drenched in this inescapable reality 159 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: that life is self is imbued with suffering and pain. Well, 160 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: he ends up circling that proverbial drain of his own 161 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: hopelessness and sorrow. And then it happens as the emptiness 162 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: of his faith regarding his own future burns, the emptiness 163 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: of his own self begins to ignite something else, which 164 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: is this idea that meaning comes from another place, It 165 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: comes from this deeper sense of strength. Now, I know 166 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: that seems a little simplistic for sure about about a 167 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: young twenty four or old man. But I can tell 168 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: you this, that man, that real man, seeks that strength 169 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: out day in and day out. That's what men are 170 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: conditioned to do. That's what men have always been conditioned 171 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: to do, to find the strength in themselves to hack 172 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: out their own existence in this world. And this is 173 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: not something that that dies because of some type of programming, 174 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: although there most certainly always is throughout history a program 175 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: that seems to direct that quest for strength towards particular 176 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: ideas regarding religion, politics, ideologies, philosophies, the whole gambit of 177 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: that human condition. There are programs designed to direct that 178 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: twenty four year old male into that space. Why, because 179 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old male is the person that 180 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: ultimately governs whether or not the system will stay in 181 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: place or the system will collapse. Now, when that sense 182 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: of strength is ignited, right, that little fire in their 183 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: belly of I want to be strong. There's something growing 184 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: in me. I feel something burning that what I've been 185 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: exposed to isn't right. What I've been exposed to doesn't 186 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: sit well with me. And through a casual relationship or curiosity, 187 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old ultimately hears a message that 188 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: embodies something that's bigger than himself. He hears a message 189 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: that provokes the one thing that all real males want 190 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: to be imbued with. He hears that message that says, 191 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: if you hear this, you act upon it, you will 192 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: feel the strength that you've been searching for. And guess 193 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: what happens? This sense, this feeling, in this message that 194 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: he hears, It moves him. It stirs his loins, right, 195 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: it stirs the legacy that has been down him for 196 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: centuries by his family's ability to fight and survive and 197 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: thrive amidst the constantly changing systems. And that fire in 198 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: his belly is lit. So what does he do? He 199 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: seeks the truth behind what was said. He seeks the 200 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: truth by what was by behind what was said, because 201 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: guess what, it stirred his soul. I think that's what 202 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: all young men are looking for. They're looking for the 203 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: thing that stirs their soul. They're looking for the thing 204 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: that that gives them that sense of energy, that sense 205 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: of strength, that sense of of of emerging power, that 206 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: sense of the grip of that that that sword in 207 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: your hand, or the bow in your hand, or the 208 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: arrow which releases, or the sense of the trigger and 209 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: the round impacting that which is trying to alter that 210 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: sense of strength. And he wants to understand those ideas. 211 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: He wants to understand that message that is igniting the 212 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: fire in his gut. And so what does he do. 213 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: He seeks out that sensation, he seeks out that feeling, 214 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: and he opens the door to the knowledge of good 215 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: and evil. Now where have we seen this before, Well, 216 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: it's pretty much just about any time in history you 217 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: can think about this taking place. I think the ones 218 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: that are most relevant right now come from the twentieth century. 219 00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: Why because it's still within the living memory that we 220 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: can understand there are people that have still existed in 221 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: these two scenarios. If you will In fact, there are 222 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: many many people that have direct correlation to these scenarios. 223 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: And the scenarios I'm talking about are when large groups 224 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: of twenty four year old males become disenfranchised with the 225 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: particular system that seems to be keeping them in place, 226 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: from the ascension to that sense of freedom keeping them 227 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: in place to the ascension that they can have control 228 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: over that which tries to control them that strength, if 229 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: you will. Why, Because young men are impressionable. Young men 230 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: are seeking that deeper meaning in that purpose, and so 231 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: they're always searching for that message that makes that fire 232 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: in their gut burn brighter, that elevates or lifts up 233 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: or strengthens their convictions that sense of purpose. And so 234 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: the first scenario I just briefly want to cover was 235 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: that within the twentieth century of early Russia, and that 236 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: was the revolution that took place otherwise known as the 237 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: Bolshevik Revolution. Now it's critical to understand the scenario the 238 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: context the times Russia had been engaged in World War 239 00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: One from nineteen fourteen to nineteen eighteen. Now, by nineteen seventeen, 240 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: there were over two million dead Russians that had taken place, 241 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: that had died and many many defeats against the Germany 242 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: Austrian Hungarian War that they were engaged in the Great War, 243 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: the War to End all wars. Right and Russia was 244 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: facing food shortages, inflation, supply breakdown which led to massive demonstrations, 245 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: uprisings in cities like Petrograd. And what had happened was 246 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 1: there was enough of the stir that they began to realize, 247 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: unbeknownst to them what was going behind closed doors with 248 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: the czar and funding and bankruptcies and financial strains of 249 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: waging wars, that the population that was engaged in the 250 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: slaughter was becoming disenfranchised. They began to recognize that those elites, 251 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: the czars right, the bourgeois, they were making decisions that 252 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: continuously led to the suffering of the other twenty four 253 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: year old men. And so in March of nineteen seventeen 254 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: there was a revolution right and forced Nicholas the Second 255 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: to give up control. Now this was led by liberals 256 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: and moderate socialists right from the Duma. It aimed to 257 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: establish a democratic republic and continued the war effort for 258 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: an honorable peace. Now, simultaneously, right, you had this deep, deep, 259 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: dark socialist group that was the Soviets that were emerging. 260 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: And in the midst of this other provisional government that 261 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: was started, there was also this Marxist revolutionary group that 262 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: was gaining ground right led by Vladimir Lenin who had 263 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: been exiled in Sweden. And the iron the irony of 264 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: this stuff is some German politicians were the ones who 265 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: funded and got Lenin back to Russia for this Russian Revolution, 266 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: thinking that they would pull Russia out of the war 267 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: and that Germany would ultimately be victorious against France and Britain, 268 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: as well as the coalition of other groups of nations 269 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: that were fighting, but mostly them, and also hope that 270 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: it would kind of diffuse the workings to try and 271 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: bring the Americans. Now, when you think about what the 272 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: ideological foundation of the Bolsheviks were, right, it was based 273 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: on Karl marx e Communists manifesto. It was the revolution 274 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: that the people would be in control of their own fate, 275 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: that no longer the powerful few would have have control 276 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: over them, that there would be an equal and equitable 277 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: distribution of of what the value system was, and the 278 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: value was in the worker right and that's why peace, land, 279 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: bread and workers control and these these phrases that he emerged, 280 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: these slogans, this propaganda that began to emerge, began to 281 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: take hold right and so from you know, February of seventeen, 282 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: there was this rise and through these this this group 283 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: of Bolsheviks. They began with about twenty four thousand members 284 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: and by October that two hundred thousand. But before we 285 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: talk about the Bolshevik Revolution, I want you to think 286 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: about the American Revolution, because it didn't just happen. The 287 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: colonials didn't wake up one day in seventeen seventy six 288 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: and decide to declare independence from the British. There's one 289 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years of history that made the American 290 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: Revolution possible. If you're feeling a bit behind on that 291 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: time in our great history, well guess what, You're not alone. Fortunately, 292 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: Hillsdale College, one of our big sponsors, has a brand 293 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: new free mini series on colonial America.

Most of us know that the 302 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence marks the beginning of America as an 303 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: independent nation, but this Hillsdale course will focus on the 304 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: forging of the American character that made the Revolution possible, 305 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: and why it's more important than ever to remember and 306 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: reclaim that character today.

Okay, 319 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: let's get back to the Bolshevik revolution. Because these people 320 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: were radicals. They were not about integrating into the political 321 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: structure that had been in control for a very long 322 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: period time. They were disruptive. They thought that all of 323 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: that need to be broken apart, broken down, and that 324 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: out of that to merge this sense of equality, the 325 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: sense of freedom, the sense of collective ideology that we're 326 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: all in this together, this utopic framework of production, the 327 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: means of production and the means of production are not 328 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: just the factory of the farms or whatever you are. 329 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: The means of production, the twenty four year old man 330 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: was the means of production. So the revolution wanted to 331 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: gain control of that, which was the ideas, the meaning, 332 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: the purpose behind that twenty four year old man. And 333 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: they did. They got hold of that, and by October 334 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: the Bolsheviks controlled the Petrograd Soviet chaired by Trotsky and 335 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: the majority influenced key military units like the Petrograd Garrison. 336 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: Now they started gaining military control and under Trotsky's Military 337 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: Revolutionary Committee, red guards and sympathetic soldiers see strategic Points, 338 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: Telegraph Office, Bridges Banks, Winter Palace, which was the seat 339 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: of the provisional government. The takeover was relatively bloodless, fewer 340 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: than ten desks in Petrograd, with a minimal resistance. Now 341 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: why did they succeed because there was relatively weak opposition 342 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: with those who are in control, which is always the 343 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: sense of those who are in control. Fundamentally, most people 344 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: that are in control are doing things that only serve 345 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: their own interests, regardless of what the political structure ideology 346 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: they're using. Most of the time they just continue to 347 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: serve themselves, and so they don't have a lot of opposition. 348 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: In particular, when what when the twenty four year old 349 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: that acts as the person that's in the military, that 350 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: keeps the peace, that keeps those that are in controlling 351 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: class of the controlling class of the system, who can 352 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: push off the masses that are disenfranchised and keep them 353 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: at bay. Once that collapses, guess what, those who were 354 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: in control, they lose the strength. Now, the other is 355 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: that this group, this this Bolsheviks, these Marxists, these communists, 356 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: they had great ability to organize, to bring together to 357 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: create structure. Right, and remember also the country itself was 358 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: been devastated by four years of catastrophic fighting. Now they 359 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: were well funded too, these outside this revolutionaries, they were 360 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: funded by outside groups, you have to know. And those 361 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: outside groups were outside groups that were in what control 362 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: of the money, control of politics and other places. And 363 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: they realized the opportunity what to influence under the guise 364 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: of revolutionary spirit, those who can speak well, those who 365 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: can oorate, those who can influence, those who can you know, 366 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: inspire those twenty four year old men that you are 367 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: being oppressed. This is your opportunity to break free. This 368 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: is your opportunity to regain the strength that was taken 369 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: from you. So what took place the Russian Civil War 370 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: from nineteen eighteen to nineteen twenty two. So they opposition 371 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: coalesce into White armies, which are monarchists, liberals, nationalists, supported 372 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: by foreign interventions. Britain, France, USA, Japan provided troops and 373 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: aid to prevent the Bolsheviks spread. But guess what, it 374 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: was too late. The brutal conflict the Red Army organized 375 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: by Trotsky versus the Whites, the Greens, the peasant rebels 376 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: and others, estimated seven to twelve million deaths. Let me 377 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: repeat that Red army was responsible to set for seven 378 00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: to twelve million deaths from fighting famine and disease. And 379 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: that's from nineteen eighteen to nineteen twenty two. Now, the 380 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: Bolsheviks won due to centralized command. The other groups couldn't 381 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: get together, they couldn't hold together a coalition, and they 382 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: had centralized command right defend the revolution. The communistic war. 383 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: State control of the commune was implemented, but ultimately led 384 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: to what a famine that devastated another fifteen supposed fifteen 385 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: million people. Now, what happened after a result of that, 386 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: That twenty four year old male in Russia continued to 387 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: suffer unless they did what, Unless they join the Communist Party, 388 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: the Soviets. And then if even if you did join, 389 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: if you didn't say the right things or whatever, you 390 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: just moved right into that structure of tyranny. You gave 391 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: up one system of control for another system of control. 392 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: Why because the messaging sound good, You believed what they 393 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: were telling them. Now, as a result of their control 394 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: and their lead, in particular, after Joseph Stalin took over, right, 395 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: what happened? He rose to power, took over and caused 396 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: the Helotomore, which was a famine that ultimately led somewhere 397 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: between eight to twelve million starvations and deaths in Ukraine 398 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: and Stalin's era from nineteen twenties to nineteen fifty three. 399 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: Right five year plans, the Great Purges nineteen thirty six 400 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,760 Speaker 1: to thirty eight, executing rivals including the old Bolsheviks. Right 401 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: estimated was how many deaths twenty million deaths from repression, 402 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: famine war. Who were those deaths? The twenty four year 403 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: old male, twenty four year old female, elderly children, professionals, professors, 404 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: the bourgeois Christians all annihilated in order to protect what 405 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: the new system by using what the twenty four year 406 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: old male to inflict havoc, Those disenfranchised males, those ones 407 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: that were on the front, that came out and were 408 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: promised the new utopia, were used in order to go 409 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: out and kill the other twenty four year old males 410 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: that potentially would stop the tyranny of that new system. 411 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: The other example is this, Think about it. The twenty 412 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: four year old male that had just gotten back or 413 00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: been wounded in the trenches on the Eastern Front or 414 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: Western Front, mostly the Western Front, over and over, going 415 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: back and back and back, again, who had lived in 416 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: those trenches, in the horrific conditions for years. The lice, 417 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: the typhoid, the rats, the rotting corpses, the rotting flesh, 418 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: the famine, the starvation. That's not even the warfare itself. 419 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: When you understand the sol the first month, the battle 420 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: of the somewhat actually it might have been in first 421 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: few days, sixty thousand casualties. You listen to these historical 422 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: counts of this and you begin to understand, and you 423 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 1: begin to realize how destructive warfare is. World War One 424 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: is one of the greatest examples of how human beings 425 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: can annihilate each other without any conscious moral framework whatsoever. 426 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: Why because the other guy's idea is a threat to 427 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: your idea, an existential threat, and you believe the fact 428 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: that the other guy's ideal is coming after your way 429 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: of life and is going to kill you. Why because 430 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old kid believe what they were 431 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: told that that's the other twenty four year old kid 432 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: wants to destroy your way of life. So what do 433 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 1: you do? You charge endless charge thousands and millions of people, 434 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: young men, whole generations of young men, running to their 435 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 1: deaths across those open fields and Flanders questioning their meaning, 436 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: questioning their life. And so those Germans end up having 437 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: to give up because the people of Germany were like 438 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 1: no more, no more. And also what I have to 439 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: understand is that the rise of communism was exacerbated. If 440 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: you don't know, Karl Marx wanted to begin the communist 441 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: revolution in Germany. That's where it was, That's where he 442 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 1: wanted to begin. It took hold in Russia because of 443 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: their fatigue, and now they were trying to move it 444 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: into Germany and have it explode into the German And 445 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: so those Russian revolutionaries were infecting those young twenty four 446 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 1: year old kids who were sick of going to the trenches, 447 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: and those communists were going out and they were converting 448 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: people and putting them into the trenches themselves, and they 449 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: were saying, why fight, what are we doing for? Who? 450 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: Who's this? So we can reinforce the people that are 451 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: in charge, right the chancellors and the rich and the 452 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: bankers and all the people that are in control of us. 453 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: So what happened, It became peace, the Treaty of Versailles, 454 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: and then what happend in Journey after the Treaty of Versailles. 455 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: It became subjugated to the humiliation of what took place 456 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: as a result of that treaty. They went into profound debt, hyperinflation, destitution, poverty, suicide, cannibalism, prostitution, 457 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: child prostitution, a loss of national identity or consciousness, the 458 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: demoralization of that twenty four year old man again. Now, 459 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: the Treaty of Versailles took place in nineteen nineteen, right, 460 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: and they were forced to pay six point six billion 461 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: in reparations extrapolate the modern modern day. And they also 462 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,479 Speaker 1: took territory losses. Territorial losses thirteen percent of all land 463 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: and colonies that they had fought for the previous centuries, 464 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,720 Speaker 1: military restrictions, right, one hundred thousand man army, no air force, 465 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: and the war guilt clause. Germans felt stabbed in the back. 466 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: And who did they begin to blame? The socialists, the 467 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: politicians and other ethnic religious groups. Now, ultimately, the wein 468 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 1: Mare Republic was a bunch of unstable in terms of 469 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:44,879 Speaker 1: fourteen different governments over fourteen years. And what that hyperinflation 470 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: did is it destroyed the middle class. Now what rose 471 00:40:51,920 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: out of that? What emerged another young man who was disenfranchised, 472 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: who was dejected to moralize and defeated, and so out 473 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 1: of that, out of that destitution, a destruction of meeting 474 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: young man emerged Adolf Hitler. Now he was inspired, obviously 475 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: by Mussolini's March in Rome, and so he tried to 476 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: do the same thing. And what happened. He was arrested 477 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: and he was sent to prison, not for six months, 478 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: not for a year, but for five years. After winning 479 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: multiple distinguished medals for his time on the front line 480 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,840 Speaker 1: in the World War One, serving his country, getting injured 481 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 1: and going back to the front, he was thrown in 482 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: jail for his political ideas and beliefs. Now, when you 483 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: incarcerate the mind of a twenty four year old man 484 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: who believes that they have been wrongfully persecuted, that they 485 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 1: have been attacked, belittled, demolished, destroyed, it only makes sense 486 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 1: that that imprisoned mind wants to break out. That imprisoned 487 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 1: mind needs that strength, needs the sense of individuality, of 488 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: identity to take back control of that individual's meaning, and 489 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 1: they seek out those things that reinforced their strength. And 490 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: so while in prison, what did he do? He wrote? 491 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: Mind coomp again, another radicalized ideology, that young men can 492 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 1: gravitate towards words. Whether it was Communist Manifesto or mind comp, 493 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: it's the same principle. It's a new system that gives 494 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,400 Speaker 1: strength to young men to take over the system that 495 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: has been oppressing them since the dawn of their existence. Now, 496 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: if you don't believe that these pieces of literature are 497 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: that powerful, by nineteen thirty three, two hundred and twenty 498 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: eight thousand copies of Mine comp had been had been sold. 499 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: God to also remember that a best seller, even in 500 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: modern times is thirty five thousand books, So two hundred 501 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: and twenty eight thousand books is substantial. That's how movement begins. Now, 502 00:43:54,120 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: in twenty four he was released right and he reorganized NSDAP. 503 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: This is the National Socialist Movement. So they kept building 504 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: and recruiting, and by now his oration skills had emerged, 505 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: and his confidence in what he was doing was unchecked. 506 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,839 Speaker 1: It was overwhelming in his dedication to what he knew 507 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 1: he needed to do to rebuild the idea of Germany, 508 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:30,400 Speaker 1: which he bled for on the front. Although he swore 509 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: he would gain power illegally or legally, right, what did 510 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 1: he do? He exploited the democratic flaws of the weinmar Republic. 511 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: Now he kept gaining more and more power pulling and 512 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:52,439 Speaker 1: what was it in twenty eight Nazi Party pulled around 513 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: two point six percent. What they were doing is they 514 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 1: were building the infrastructure of the party. They were going 515 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 1: out to the common people, the common twenty four year 516 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,280 Speaker 1: old man that was had no job, no future, no family, 517 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 1: no ability to pay for a house, pay for children, 518 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: His sense of meaning, his belief systems, his heritage was 519 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: all under attack, was devastated across the board. And they 520 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: started to build these youth groups and women's organizations, these 521 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: local cells that people could gravitate towards these twenty four 522 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: year old men, who could begin to feel what the 523 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,800 Speaker 1: strength again that they had been, that had been taken 524 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: from them. Now, what launched this into high, high gear 525 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,280 Speaker 1: and high speed was the crash at twenty nine, Because 526 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: not only did the US banks crash, so did German banks. 527 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 1: The world economy collapse and employment went from one point 528 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: three million to six million, thirty percent of the workforce 529 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: of Germany. There were soup kitshen shanty towns, and most 530 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: of the youth lived in an utter and perpetual despair. 531 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 1: The twenty four year old man. So what happens to 532 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,839 Speaker 1: that that twenty four you mint, you know, old kid 533 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: searches for something to give him, what strength and meaning 534 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 1: and purpose. So the Nazi Party exploited it and the 535 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: Nazis and nineteen thirty election jumped from twelve to one 536 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 1: hundred and seven seats eighteen point three percent of the vote. 537 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: The second largest party thirty two to two elections in 538 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: July jumped to two hundred and thirty seats thirty seven 539 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: point seven the largest party in November one hundred and 540 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: ninety six seats, thirty three point one. Right, they got farmers, 541 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 1: they got workers, veterans, gave them honor. What else? The 542 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: Hitler youth grew. The Hitler youth grewed over one hundred 543 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: thousand members. Now at the same time as the Communist 544 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 1: revolution in Germany, he was trying to take hold and 545 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 1: they were doing very similar things that the Nazis were. 546 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 1: Knas party were able to come and defeat them, get 547 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: rid of them, and all these battles and these conflicts 548 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 1: that they were engaging in, and so Goebels his Propa 549 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: Caanna became intensified through what radio films right Hitler gave 550 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: two hundred plus speeches in nineteen thirty two. Right, why 551 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: did it resonate because they feared communism? Right, and communism 552 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 1: was growing and there was mass murder that they were 553 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 1: aware of, killing Christians and Germans and Poles and all 554 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: these people that lived on those borderlands. And so what 555 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,319 Speaker 1: were they doing. They were praying once again on the 556 00:47:54,360 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 1: twenty four year old man now because the system was 557 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 1: so unequipped or unprepared for the rapid rise of power. 558 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 1: Not even rapid, I mean it took a while, and 559 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 1: eventually they kind of made a deal to put Hitler 560 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: as chancellor, thinking they could control him. And guess what, 561 00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: the older group that thought they could control him, right, Fritz, 562 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: theesen Franz von Popping popping, They thought they could take 563 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 1: care of this. But they couldn't because what did They 564 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:38,240 Speaker 1: failed to recognize that Hitler was resonating with the twenty 565 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 1: four year old and they weren't. So Hitler knew that, 566 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 1: so he increased his power, seized total control February March 567 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty three, which was followed by what his dictatorship, 568 00:48:54,760 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: and then it passed the whole series of political diaship rights. 569 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 1: Things were moved right, all other parties were banned, became 570 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: a one party state. He consolidated his power as the 571 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: feure trade unions crushed, banking systems were turned by controlled 572 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 1: by the state, kicked the bankers out, arrested some of them, right, 573 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: and the Nazi Party took over. And once again what 574 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 1: resulted sixty sixty five million deaths around the world, nineteen 575 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:47,840 Speaker 1: plus million Germans, twenty two plus million Russians, both those parties, 576 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 1: both the radicalized nature of those parties, Communism, fascism, right Bolshevism, Nazism, 577 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,359 Speaker 1: all going after the twenty four year old male, inflaming 578 00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 1: them and then annihilating each other. Now, the other thing 579 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 1: that's interesting about all these times is that a lot 580 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,800 Speaker 1: of the people that were funding these wars, they continue 581 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: to make more money, right, whatever you want to call that. 582 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: The elites here, the elites there, people who had companies, businesses. 583 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,840 Speaker 1: The thing that kind of is fascinating to me is 584 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: is Ford Motor Company supported both sides of that, the 585 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: Russians and the Germans with equipment, aircraft, vehicles, all different 586 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: types of raw materials. There were other companies in America 587 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 1: that supported a German or British companies, French companies and 588 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 1: what it ended up happening. Who suffered the most, the 589 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 1: twenty four year old male. This is not something that 590 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 1: is disputed. This is not something that can be ignored. 591 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: Is the fact. This is what happens when you have disenfranchised, demoralized, attack, beliaguered, empty, 592 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: twenty four year old males. This is what's happening now. 593 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 1: There are twenty four year old males in this country 594 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: that are in the very same position. They know they 595 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 1: have been beaten down. Their hopes for the fulfillment of 596 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:45,759 Speaker 1: that American dream have been deluded, demoralized, or beaten. The 597 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: idea of faith has been attacked. The idea of family 598 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:54,080 Speaker 1: is under attack. The idea of freedom is under attack. 599 00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 1: Now traditionally that comes from leftist ideas. Right, and those 600 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,280 Speaker 1: leftist ideas have you know, the demoralization of white males, 601 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 1: the demoralization of masculinity, the demoralization of freedom of speech. Right, 602 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 1: you can't speak, you need to be canceled. Right, the 603 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:28,400 Speaker 1: idea that better economic opportunities are afforded to other people 604 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: who aren't even from this country. These young people, they're 605 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 1: aware of it. You think they're not but they are 606 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,399 Speaker 1: why because they're out there trying to find jobs. They've 607 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,319 Speaker 1: done all the things you told them to do. They 608 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:46,320 Speaker 1: went to school from kindergarten to twelfth grade. They listened 609 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: to the curriculum you thrust down there. You took away 610 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,960 Speaker 1: the people that they should have been heroes. That that 611 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 1: that idea of fierce individuality and liberty and a sovereignty 612 00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 1: only under God himself. Right, you're in a ability to 613 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: be free. But they see all that as not truly 614 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:12,879 Speaker 1: what it is, the idea that certain religions are under 615 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:17,239 Speaker 1: attack and certain ones aren't. And what's unfortunate is that 616 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 1: now this is a reality. And I think there's a 617 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 1: massive group of people and all the systems that are 618 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 1: at play or in control, or so they think, they're 619 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,760 Speaker 1: all doing what right now, they're all vying for the young, 620 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:37,439 Speaker 1: disenfranchised twenty four year old Native American, the twenty four 621 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,439 Speaker 1: year old immigrant American, the twenty four year old black man, 622 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old Hispanic man, the twenty four 623 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 1: year old white man, the twenty four year old Christian, 624 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old jew, the twenty four year 625 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: old musclim They are all being sought out from these 626 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 1: different groups trying to influence them, trying to bring that 627 00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: sense of elective power or strength to them. And you 628 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 1: see so, and what's being projected as history or the 629 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 1: anomalies within history, or the manufactured state of history, or 630 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,880 Speaker 1: only teaching one component of history and not all of 631 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,399 Speaker 1: the other. The fact that somehow, somewhere, some way, that 632 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:28,280 Speaker 1: our youth, that twenty four year old man doesn't understand 633 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 1: the gray nature of history itself is indicative of that 634 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: system that has been trying to manipulate them or influence them. 635 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,359 Speaker 1: That they're have an inability to be able to evaluate 636 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,319 Speaker 1: history and its totality and the total context of what 637 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: it was, how it came about, and the impact from it. 638 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 1: And any person that is not allowing that robust debate 639 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 1: about history itself isn't part of that negative influence on 640 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: that twenty four year old male. You look at the 641 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 1: movies or the streaming shows, or the book books, you 642 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: look at ai, the housing markets. You know how religion 643 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: is being framed. These twenty four year old males, they 644 00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: see it. They're not stupid anymore. The powers that be 645 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: they woke them up. They woke them up as a 646 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:29,360 Speaker 1: result of the pandemic by taking away their liberties. You 647 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 1: must stand six feet apart, why because we made it up. 648 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 1: It's control. You must wear a mask, why because we 649 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 1: want you to be silenced, to cover your face. You 650 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: can't travel. And unless you get this job, what is it? Well, 651 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 1: we can't tell you that, and we don't have to 652 00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,560 Speaker 1: tell you for seventy years. And oh, by the way, 653 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,400 Speaker 1: if you get the job, you could get a different 654 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:55,480 Speaker 1: heart problems, or we could your reproductive organs could be impacted, 655 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: or you could outright die suddenly. Oh and by the way, 656 00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 1: we're to promote these other groups that can go out 657 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 1: and bitch and moan because they support it, because they 658 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 1: we were told that this drug dealing, drug addict, a 659 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:12,800 Speaker 1: person that had been in jail, a person that was 660 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,239 Speaker 1: high that was having an overdose, was demorl that was 661 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 1: killed because of this unchecked government authority of police officers. 662 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,919 Speaker 1: When everybody now knows, can you can go and see 663 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 1: the statistics of how many black men, unarmed black men 664 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:35,799 Speaker 1: were killed by police officers in twenty nineteen, in the 665 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:40,440 Speaker 1: mid twenties, So we see these kids see that this 666 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:44,319 Speaker 1: is not right, this is a lie. They feel it. 667 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 1: It's a lie. They understand propaganda. Now. Why, Because there's 668 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 1: this thing called the Internet. There's this access to information 669 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 1: that can't possibly be governed the way it used to 670 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:04,319 Speaker 1: be governed by the people who are in control of 671 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:09,759 Speaker 1: the system, who want to curtail what information gets out 672 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:15,319 Speaker 1: and what doesn't. And in that access to that, what 673 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: do they feel? They feel one a place to detach 674 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 1: from the system that's demoralizing them. They feel a place 675 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 1: where they can engage with each other without the unirrational 676 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: influence or the illogical influences of the systems trying to 677 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 1: control them. They can go and feel a sense of 678 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 1: release from the destitution that awaits them in the abysmal 679 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 1: nature of their future right how by gaming, by streaming 680 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: and talking to each other, by producing stupid memes or videos, 681 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: or making fun or poking fun of it. And as 682 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 1: they were coming up into this world because that's the 683 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 1: only world they know socially, the old grip of the 684 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 1: social structure is gone. And for anybody that's out there 685 00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,959 Speaker 1: who's forty and older, guess what you need to wake 686 00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 1: up and realize that you no longer have control of 687 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,800 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old man you might think you 688 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 1: do but you don't. They are awake by what they 689 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: have gone through. We need to look at when these 690 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: twenty four year old men were born, what they were 691 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,440 Speaker 1: leading into, and what got them to be so focused 692 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: on the fact that they were ready to defend themselves 693 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,880 Speaker 1: in their country. Before we do that, I want to 694 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:45,880 Speaker 1: talk about one of our big sponsors, Patriot Mobile. You see, 695 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 1: freedom has never been free, and lately we've been reminded 696 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 1: of just how high the cost can be. Growing violence, 697 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 1: growing socialism, growing radicalization of young people is meant to 698 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,880 Speaker 1: shape us, but it should only strengthen our resolved never 699 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:08,800 Speaker 1: to back down. That's why Patriot Mobile exists. For over 700 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 1: twelve years, they've been defending faith, family, and freedom while 701 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: providing the same or better premium network access on all 702 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 1: three US major networks, unlimited data, mobile hotspots, international roaming. 703 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 1: They simply do it all.

I didn't feel the impact of nine 722 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 1: to eleven. All they've ever known was access to a 723 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 1: device that was perpetually feeding them information, and through the 724 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 1: the growth of their understanding, the growth of their ideology, 725 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: the growth of their philosophy, their growth of their morality, 726 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 1: the growth of their theological or more metaphysical understanding of 727 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 1: the world around them, has been through their screens. They 728 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: have felt the impact of the different types of heroes 729 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 1: that they were fed or the different types of ostrasation 730 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 1: they were made to feel. They're they're the fact that 731 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 1: you are not in control. You are a detriment to society. 732 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 1: You're a colonist, you're a bigot, you're a racist, you're 733 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 1: a chauvinus, you're you're a phobicist, or whatever the word is. 734 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 1: You're not worthy to be a functioning part of society. 735 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 1: In fact, you're not worthy enough. We're going to censor 736 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: you if you begin to purport ideas that don't fit 737 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:57,400 Speaker 1: within the traditional narratives that maintain the society or the 738 01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 1: system that seems to be constantly improving the lives of 739 01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:07,040 Speaker 1: those at the top. And again, this is the interpretation 740 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 1: of the twenty four year old male. And so what 741 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,400 Speaker 1: emerged out of that, What emerged out of that is 742 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,720 Speaker 1: the ideas. What emerged out of that as the understanding 743 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 1: of their heroes. Now, as I go back and begin 744 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 1: to recognize what took place, because I think I was 745 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,320 Speaker 1: on an edge of it in the beginning, and you 746 01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 1: had a bunch of these early twenty four year olds 747 01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,320 Speaker 1: that did what after nine to eleven, that went to war, 748 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,160 Speaker 1: that went back to the trenches, because why they believe 749 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:50,240 Speaker 1: the messaging. They believe that the American way of life 750 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,440 Speaker 1: was under attack and was going to collapse if we 751 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 1: didn't go overseas, get back in the trenches and beat 752 01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 1: back the idea of this other thing, this other system 753 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,920 Speaker 1: that was going to take away our lives. Why because 754 01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 1: we were trying to figure out what our meaning was 755 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,120 Speaker 1: at the time, where we were supposed to go, what we 756 01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,400 Speaker 1: were supposed to do, how we were supposed to do it. 757 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,960 Speaker 1: And so those that were in charge of the system 758 01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,440 Speaker 1: created the opportunity for more war. And so you had 759 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 1: the GWAT people emerged when these young twenty four year 760 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 1: old men were what were fourteen and fifteen, and so 761 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 1: they flocked to those GWAT voices. They started to flock 762 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:34,160 Speaker 1: to the anti woke, anti leftist voices. They started to 763 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,560 Speaker 1: flock to something that would give them more meaning, more purpose, 764 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 1: more understanding of the strength that they control that's inside 765 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 1: of their own guts and their souls. And who was 766 01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 1: the catalyst for this? It was Trump because what did 767 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 1: he do? He thought back against the systems. He called 768 01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 1: the systems out both right and left, which in my opinion, 769 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,920 Speaker 1: are sol somewhat one and the same, actively battling for 770 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,440 Speaker 1: the souls and the minds of the twenty four year 771 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,160 Speaker 1: old man to wage war against each other, to distract 772 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 1: everybody from what they're doing at the top, which is 773 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:17,200 Speaker 1: continuing to extrapolate more wealth out of the productivity of 774 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:23,800 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old male. He said what he believed. However, 775 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm sometimes dysfunctional it was, or demoralizing. It was. He 776 01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,360 Speaker 1: said what he believed, and these young men gravitated towards 777 01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 1: it immensely, to the pack where in twenty twenty there 778 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 1: had to be some shenanigans in order to keep that 779 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,520 Speaker 1: man from gaining control and broak in the control of 780 01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 1: the system that had been put in place for forty 781 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,960 Speaker 1: fifty sixty seventy years. Wherever you want to start in 782 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:53,560 Speaker 1: the development of the modern era, the new world order, 783 01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:58,440 Speaker 1: the consolidation of power, stakeholder capitalism, whatever you want to 784 01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,720 Speaker 1: soft power, pull up politics, I don't care how you 785 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:09,360 Speaker 1: describe it. It's one continuous evolution of those who have 786 01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,000 Speaker 1: power trying to manipulate the twenty four year old male. 787 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:20,240 Speaker 1: But they're paying attention now, they're paying close attention. I 788 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 1: think what you saw is in twenty twenty four is 789 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 1: you saw the system lose control of the system most likely, 790 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,400 Speaker 1: I believe for one reason and one reason only, and 791 01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 1: that's Elon Musk bought X. Prior to that, Twitter was 792 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 1: horrifically censoring, Facebook, horrifically censoring Instagram, censoring, YouTube, censoring all 793 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 1: social media platforms, censoring, censoring, censoring, demoralizing, diminishing the voices 794 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 1: of the tumergent twenty four year old males or those 795 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 1: who are trying to inform them be free, think for yourself. Now, 796 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 1: because of that, the system could no longer control those 797 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:09,040 Speaker 1: voices that were trying to emerge, finding strength and they 798 01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 1: were able to access new pieces of truth that pant 799 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:18,920 Speaker 1: those in power either side as an illegitimate and corrupt, 800 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: and those that were thought they were in control, they 801 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:32,480 Speaker 1: started losing control of that. Now these ideas once again 802 01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 1: are becoming more and more and more radicalized, not only 803 01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,280 Speaker 1: from those who are in the system, but those who 804 01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 1: are on the edges of society. And they're going after 805 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 1: who the twenty four year old man? Why, because that's 806 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,919 Speaker 1: the person they need to fight their war, their war 807 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 1: of ideas and this fifth generation warfare, and actually they're 808 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 1: connect wars. Just look at Ukraine and Russia probably getting 809 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,400 Speaker 1: close to two million young men, more generations of young 810 01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 1: twenty four year old males that have been thrust into 811 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:17,000 Speaker 1: the trenches for the betterment of the systems themselves. Now 812 01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,040 Speaker 1: Here in America, those twenty four year old men, they're 813 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:27,600 Speaker 1: disenfranchised because the dream that I was promised is unattainable 814 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 1: for them. They can't afford houses, their jobs don't pay well. 815 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,240 Speaker 1: AI potentially is going to destroy their opportunities. There's no 816 01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,400 Speaker 1: middle class, has been destroyed from offshoring of jobs. There's 817 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 1: thirty eight trillion dollars in debt. Even the political system 818 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 1: that they were gravitating towards because of the things that 819 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:52,880 Speaker 1: Trump was saying is in question. Now, where's the Epstein persecution. 820 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,240 Speaker 1: Where's the purp walks for Russia Gate? Where's the purp 821 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 1: walks for all the leftist ideologies? Where's the purp walk 822 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,000 Speaker 1: for the crazy judges? Where is the purp walk for 823 01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: insider traders? Where's the purp walk for the manipulation of justice? 824 01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 1: It's not happening. And the catalyst of all catalysts the 825 01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:14,560 Speaker 1: assassination of Charlie Kirk. Because the one thing that these 826 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 1: twenty four year old men started to feel some strength 827 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,880 Speaker 1: with was the ability to have faith in themselves through 828 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 1: Christ and God. Why because that religion doesn't force them 829 01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:31,280 Speaker 1: to fight for anything other than their individual sovereignty to God. 830 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: Christ does not tell me to go out and fight. 831 01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 1: Christ tells me to go out and love. Christ tells 832 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,640 Speaker 1: me to go out and listen. Christ tells me to 833 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 1: go out and search so I can find. Christ tells 834 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:49,160 Speaker 1: me to be humble. Christ tells me to be be 835 01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:52,400 Speaker 1: aware of different ideas and opinions, but to be able 836 01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 1: to have open conversation with others, to be able to 837 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,880 Speaker 1: profess the good News and the Gospel, to tell you 838 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,520 Speaker 1: that you well be said that God loves you, regardless 839 01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:06,439 Speaker 1: that Christ loves you. And so you had millions and 840 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 1: millions of young men gravitating towards it. And we saw that. 841 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 1: But guess what. He was assassinated. We don't know why, 842 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 1: because why the system that's in control, the systems that 843 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,080 Speaker 1: are in control of the information. They don't want to 844 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:32,000 Speaker 1: tell the twenty four year old male why. They don't 845 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,280 Speaker 1: want to tell the twenty four year old male what 846 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,519 Speaker 1: the purpose was. They don't want to tell the twenty 847 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 1: four year old male. And there are active people within 848 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 1: the system itself on the right side as well, restricting information. 849 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,040 Speaker 1: At least that's what the twenty four year old male feels. 850 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,479 Speaker 1: If you don't believe me, go listen to the people 851 01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,320 Speaker 1: that are starting to rise up in this the new system, 852 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,200 Speaker 1: the system of tomorrow, which is the system that the 853 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 1: current twenty four year old male is going to fight 854 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,559 Speaker 1: for in some way, shape or form in the future, 855 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:06,200 Speaker 1: in the near future. Now, I'll tell you what. There 856 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,120 Speaker 1: is another war brewing. I promise you that there is 857 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:14,680 Speaker 1: another war brewing, just as there always has been. It's 858 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,479 Speaker 1: the same war. It's the war for the soul of 859 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:22,240 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old man. It's always lurking beneath 860 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 1: the surface of those who are trying to influence that 861 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 1: youthful army. And the reason is because those that are 862 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 1: in power, they don't want to do the fighting anymore. 863 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,040 Speaker 1: The old days of the king on the horseback riding 864 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:41,799 Speaker 1: in the battle, those days are over. General Washington crossing 865 01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:49,680 Speaker 1: the Delaware. How many generals died in the gwat. It's 866 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:58,120 Speaker 1: a twenty four year old man that does. There is 867 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:02,320 Speaker 1: a war for these ideas and is taking place every 868 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 1: single day and every single aspect of what's being thrust 869 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:10,600 Speaker 1: down their throats, what they're being influenced on through the algorithms, 870 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 1: through the silos of ideology, through the podcast because that's 871 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,280 Speaker 1: are the streamers, because that's where these young men are 872 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:20,960 Speaker 1: getting getting their information now through podcasts and streaming, through 873 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 1: videos online, and these bits and pieces of things that 874 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,760 Speaker 1: are provoking the deeper thought in them to find out 875 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:32,679 Speaker 1: what they believe in. And these young men are being 876 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:38,000 Speaker 1: pulled into a fight. They're being pulled into a fight, 877 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,840 Speaker 1: the same fight with the same ideas spun by a 878 01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:48,840 Speaker 1: different muse. Those trying to consolidate their positions of authority 879 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 1: through social outrage and condemnation of another group of collectivized people. 880 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: They're your problem. They're taken away. If you don't attack them, 881 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:01,719 Speaker 1: if you don't don't go after them, then you're wrong. 882 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,600 Speaker 1: They're the beginning of the new Nazi Party. They're the 883 01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 1: beginning of the new Bolsheviks, They're the beginning of the 884 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:16,439 Speaker 1: new whatever. Come join me, join me in the fight 885 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:20,040 Speaker 1: that we're in against the radical nature of the left, 886 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:28,960 Speaker 1: against the radical nature of the right. Pick a side, now, 887 01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:34,200 Speaker 1: what can you do to fight the temptation of that 888 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 1: misgoded strength. What do I wish was told me? Told 889 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,360 Speaker 1: to me when I was that twenty four year old man. 890 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:48,640 Speaker 1: Your true strength is your own sovereignty. You are not 891 01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 1: beholden to a very specific ideology. You are not beholden 892 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:58,240 Speaker 1: to a particular philosophy. You are beholden to the thing 893 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:03,799 Speaker 1: that is God gave to you, which is your liberty, 894 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:10,720 Speaker 1: God given right to peace and freedom. I recognize that 895 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there that would 896 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,599 Speaker 1: come up to me and say, hey, rut, that's horseshit. 897 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:21,880 Speaker 1: You know it is the system determines what your rights 898 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:26,439 Speaker 1: are for, And I say, no way. Your ability to 899 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:31,679 Speaker 1: think for yourself is yours. Nobody can take that from you, 900 01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:36,600 Speaker 1: nobody if you don't want them to. Your ability to 901 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:40,479 Speaker 1: find meaning and the ideas that grant immunity from tyranny, 902 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:44,679 Speaker 1: that's your responsibility. That's the strength you're looking for. That's 903 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,360 Speaker 1: the strength we need to have, is that I'm not 904 01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:52,720 Speaker 1: going to fall prey to some fancy oration. I'm not 905 01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,320 Speaker 1: going to fall prey to the ability to blame one 906 01:13:56,479 --> 01:14:00,679 Speaker 1: specific thing versus the complexity of what all of what 907 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,960 Speaker 1: society and civilization has been doing to each other over 908 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 1: and over and over and over again. Tyranny is tyranny, 909 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,280 Speaker 1: no matter what time frame it takes, no matter what 910 01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:20,639 Speaker 1: form of politics it's playing. Fascism, Nazism, Republican Democrat, right, 911 01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 1: left right. The idea is that if you're a sovereign individual, 912 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,679 Speaker 1: you have your own ability to believe what you want 913 01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:37,160 Speaker 1: to believe, and in my opinion, those beliefs should be 914 01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,240 Speaker 1: rooted in something that gives you a sensation of self, 915 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,479 Speaker 1: and that self is a derivative of what you're willing 916 01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:47,600 Speaker 1: to sacrifice for others so that they can maintain liberties 917 01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,960 Speaker 1: in peace and the pursuit of some deeper meaning in 918 01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,759 Speaker 1: their life. And so for me, what does that mean? 919 01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:58,520 Speaker 1: That means my faith in Christ and what Christ ultimately 920 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:00,800 Speaker 1: wants me to be. Now, I know I can never 921 01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,000 Speaker 1: live up to Christ because I'm a sinner. But what 922 01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:04,880 Speaker 1: I can do is I can try and live up 923 01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:10,880 Speaker 1: to those apostles who are just men like me. And 924 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 1: the other thing is that my family, what the meaning 925 01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,200 Speaker 1: that my family gives The sacrifice I'm willing to make 926 01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:21,280 Speaker 1: for my children, traveling every work, every week so that 927 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 1: they can go become educated, traveling every week so that 928 01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:29,679 Speaker 1: they can have the beauty of competition and sport, traveling 929 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:32,880 Speaker 1: every week so that they feel the grand sensation of 930 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:40,519 Speaker 1: their own emergent individuality. To my wife, who is a 931 01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 1: perpetual supporter of me and how we raise our children, 932 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,759 Speaker 1: and me of her, which is to teach our children 933 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:53,880 Speaker 1: to be strong, intelligent, empathetic individual thinkers that believe in 934 01:15:54,000 --> 01:16:00,840 Speaker 1: that the beauty of what represents liberty. After you listen 935 01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:05,360 Speaker 1: to this, I want you to think about the things 936 01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 1: that you are processing, the things that you are seeing, 937 01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,840 Speaker 1: and the information that's going through your feed and what 938 01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:16,599 Speaker 1: you're watching. What is the intention behind it? Is it 939 01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 1: to pull that twenty four year old male to one 940 01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,679 Speaker 1: direction in order to prepare for the fight that's coming, 941 01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: Because there's a war coming. There's no doubt. Unless you 942 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,560 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old man learns to think for yourself, 943 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:39,600 Speaker 1: learns to evaluate history correctly, learns to evaluate religion correctly, 944 01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:47,560 Speaker 1: learns to evaluate politics correctly, learns to evaluate morality correctly, 945 01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:57,200 Speaker 1: learns to evaluate liberty correctly. What I'm asking you, the 946 01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,680 Speaker 1: twenty four year old man, is to think for yourself, 947 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 1: to sovereign only to that thing which gives society or 948 01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 1: civilization opportunities to live in peace, to somehow break the 949 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:20,760 Speaker 1: cycle of war that the system is so desperate to 950 01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:28,920 Speaker 1: recruit you for. That's what I hope that you'll hear. 951 01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,439 Speaker 1: I want to thank y'all for those who pay attention 952 01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,639 Speaker 1: and listen. If you could share this with the twenty 953 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 1: four year old male or a young man, is the 954 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 1: metaphorum trying to say, give them this and share it 955 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,280 Speaker 1: with them. Listen to it and try and share that 956 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,240 Speaker 1: with maybe your twenty four year old daughter or your 957 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 1: young people around you, or even listen to yourself and 958 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,439 Speaker 1: pull yourself out of the influence of the thing that 959 01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:59,200 Speaker 1: is driving us to war. We don't need anymore. We 960 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,880 Speaker 1: need time to figure out what this future is going 961 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,000 Speaker 1: to look like. We need time to reinforce our young 962 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 1: twenty four year olds that, guess what, You're in control 963 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,080 Speaker 1: of the future, and the future is up to you. 964 01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 1: You can break the cycle. It's possible, not through radical ideologies, 965 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 1: but through that steadfast resolve that we each have an 966 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 1: opportunity to live our lives independently of one another, without 967 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 1: influencing each other negatively towards war. So please subscribe like share. 968 01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:43,120 Speaker 1: It would mean the world. I want to thank all 969 01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:49,040 Speaker 1: those that have kind of helping me awaken, all those 970 01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 1: people out there that are talking about that space of 971 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,080 Speaker 1: a moral framework that governs us to be decent to 972 01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,519 Speaker 1: each other, to listen to each other, to accept that 973 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 1: free space each is the way we illuminate tyranny. And 974 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:08,920 Speaker 1: this is and an arena of ideas. And those that 975 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,400 Speaker 1: are unwilling to listen and hear each other's ideas are 976 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 1: the ones that ultimately are going to need the twenty 977 01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 1: four year old. So the twenty four year old must 978 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 1: be independent thinkers to resist the temptation of going to 979 01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:29,240 Speaker 1: war for different groups. I want to thank my family. 980 01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 1: I want to thank Christ for teaching me the majority 981 01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 1: of these lessons. We're at a come in to a crossroads. 982 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:51,880 Speaker 1: You feel it, I feel it, and I just hope 983 01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:57,080 Speaker 1: and pray that we can find restraint from the temptation 984 01:19:57,920 --> 01:19:59,800 Speaker 1: of war. Godspeed,
