1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Today, I'm honored to welcome America First Minnesota twenty twenty 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: six senatorial candidate Royce White on the David Rutherford Show. Now, 3 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: let me start by reading this to you, because this 4 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: is what you have to understand. This is what I 5 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: believe encapsulate what the future and the modern evolution of 6 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: the America First Movement stands for and comes from in 7 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: terms of a mission statement and an idea. So this 8 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: is what Royce writes on his website. Regardless of our 9 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: individual backgrounds or beliefs, our nation is being held hostage 10 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: by corrupt individuals who aim to manipulate the truth, exploit 11 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: our children, subjugate us through crisis and pharmaceuticals, and sow 12 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: discord to keep us divided. These self serving actors continue 13 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: to betray the American people, waging wars that we are 14 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: forced to finance. Politicians like Tina Smith, who take orders 15 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: from these corrupt powers, must be removed from positions of influence. 16 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm privileged to welcome mister Royce White 17 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: to the show. Thank you Royce for joining us. 18 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: Thank you sir, and it's an honor as well. Thank 19 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: you for your service. I appreciate, appreciate you having me on. 20 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: You're welcome. Before we get into, like I think, to 21 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: deconstruct the political environment that you're being forced to operate in, 22 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: which is rapidly evolving and in a way that I've 23 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: never seen before. And since I first started paying attention 24 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: to politics when I was a little boy with my dad. 25 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: My dad was a big Reagan guy. It shifted him 26 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: from the Democratic Party over you know, grew up went 27 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: to the University of Michigan back in the late sixties. 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: But this shift took place, and I feel like there's 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: a real massive shift going taking place now. And before 30 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: we get into that, I would love to start with 31 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: you to describe what you mean by living with sacred 32 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: honor and what is that and how you came up 33 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: with that concept. 34 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: Well, you know, to me, sacred honor is your individual 35 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: code of ethics, your individual standard for living as an individual, 36 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: you know, sort of within yourself, your own constitution. But 37 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: then how it relates to the way you operate or 38 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: live in your community with your family out in the world. 39 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: And you know, there is an honor system that I 40 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: think is a universal language. We see it a lot 41 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: and depicted in our films, despite them having become ultra woke. 42 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: We see them depicted in in television. We see them 43 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: depicted in our stories, whether they be novels or fiction. 44 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 2: We see them depicted in all of the archetypes of 45 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: heroes that we revere throughout human history. And there's an 46 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: honor and mostly that honor is reflective of the Christ narrative. 47 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: Right where Jesus Christ makes him much different than the 48 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: other religious figures, but not so different than the other 49 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: archetypical heroes. Is that self sacrifice and sacrifice of one's 50 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 2: own let's say, individual glory or you know, advancement or 51 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: enrichment is for the betterment of something greater than themselves. 52 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: And the Christ's narrative is for the greater of all humanity. 53 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: But even for an individual, it's like, do you have 54 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: a code of honor? Do you have a code of ethic? 55 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: Do you have a constitution that you operate by independent 56 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: of the circumstances? Sort of you know, And it's like, 57 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: I think that's what it's. It probably means the easiest 58 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: way to put it is, do you have a constitution 59 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: that you operate by regardless of the circumstances? If your 60 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: constitution changes a lot more so then not based on 61 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: the individual set of circumstances. Then ultimately you have no 62 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: sacred honor, and you'll be a person for hire, or 63 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: you'll be a person that changes who they are depending 64 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: on the day or the month or the year. 65 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: You know, that's something that I've had to battle within 66 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: myself over the course of my life and my time. Obviously, 67 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, you serve, and you serve during the GWYTT, 68 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: and you serve for these endless wars, and and then 69 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: you come to the realization perhaps you know, you know, 70 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't demean my service with the guys I served with, 71 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: because that was the sacred honor, that sacrificial commitment to 72 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: one another. But the sacred honor of the commitment to 73 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: us and why we were in those endless wars. It 74 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: really it flipped me. It started changing me in particularly 75 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: the Afghan withdrawal. I mean to invest that much time, effort, 76 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: blood and sacrifice and to then again just turn over 77 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: whatever eighty five billion dollars in equipment and put the 78 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: people that we went into dispose back in power and 79 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: then continue to pay them forty million dollars a week. 80 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: Is It's like what is that sacred honor? But one 81 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: of the things that was fascinating. 82 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: And I apologize for that, sir, and every American citizen 83 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: should feel a sense of shame that we neglected our 84 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: own civic duty and sacred honor and not holding our 85 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: politicians to a better standard and a better accountability to 86 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: be able to navigate those things politically, geopolitically in a 87 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: much better way. Because again, as far as sacred honor goes, 88 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: look besides your Dan Crenshaw's who kind of shill for 89 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: the thing the machine. I don't hold any veterans guilty. 90 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure they probably feel different and struggle with that. 91 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure that has a lot to do with the 92 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: mental health crisis that we see amongst the veteran community 93 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: in some respects. But I never than personally accountable. It's 94 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: it's like the police officers, you know. It's and I 95 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: think Bannon said it best, and I don't think he 96 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 2: meant it in a disrespectful way because he served in 97 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: the Navy as well, but he said that, Uh, he 98 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: put it like this, he said that are our men 99 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: and women who serve have become rent a cops for 100 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: uh international Banking Ponzi scheme, international banking system. And that's 101 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: not a you know, that's that's not a dig on 102 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: the service or the sacrifice. Because as a young person 103 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 2: like me, in basketball, for example, you come up, you 104 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 2: were taught a game, You're taught all of the characteristics 105 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: and the values of teamworking, camaraderie and and even in 106 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: some sense that that's imbued through a community. Uh, you know, 107 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: the sense of community. 108 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 3: UH. 109 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: And then you get to the highest level of the deal, 110 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: the NBA, and you realize it's much more commercial than 111 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 2: it is about the purity of the sport and the 112 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: and the camaraderie of the team or even the institution. 113 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 2: And so that's that's a tough thing for any man 114 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: to have to have to deal with and confront. Uh. 115 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: And I'm very gracious towards our veterans and the people 116 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: who have served in that regard. 117 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 3: I don't hold them responsible. 118 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: Our politicians send our men and women to war, and 119 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: in a lot of cases, our politicians have gotten us 120 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: into wars and instigated wars knowing full will the implications 121 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: for the men and women they send. 122 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: So one hundred percent, that's well put. What really triggered 123 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: me on on wanting to understand this concept of sacred 124 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: honor behind you Your thoughts is. I watched you on 125 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: the PDB podcast and you you got into almost a 126 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: philosophical debate with one of his co hosts who kept 127 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: presenting you, Hey, why don't you just take the money, 128 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: get to the power and then change the system. And 129 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: and that's an interesting question. And I think, you know, 130 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that move into politics that 131 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: have the you know, this illusion maybe of what they're 132 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: getting into. In fact, you know, you talk about Dan Crenshaw. 133 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: My old podcast I was on called the Team Never 134 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: Quit Podcast with Marcus Latrell. We were the first podcast 135 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: to interview Dan in his efforts. And you know, the 136 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: guy that I interviewed in that day was not the 137 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: guy that I see out there right now, and certainly 138 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: not the guy that I've see engaged with many of 139 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: my close friends who sought his help in these veteran 140 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: issue that he was either told to or decided was 141 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: not beneficial for him. And so can you just talk 142 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: about like that's that discussion he was pressing you that 143 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: you should have just taken the money in the NBA, uh, 144 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: done what they told you to? Do, and then that 145 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: way you would have been able to have the leverage 146 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: to make it make an impact or influence because you 147 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: were ultra wealthy. 148 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: Well, first and foremost, I think he was mistaken, you know, 149 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 2: on the premise of how power and leverage and ethics 150 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: and honor and righteousness really work. And that doesn't surprise 151 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: me because I don't know Adam. I think his name 152 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: is Adam, don't. I don't know Adam to be a 153 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: very religious man anyway. I think he's Jewish if I'm 154 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 2: not mistaken, but I don't know him to be a 155 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: very religious man personally, I don't know him that well, 156 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: but I don't know him to be that. So I 157 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: think he struggles with the concept fundamentally, and first of all, 158 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: just from his perspective, you know, from a more strategic standpoint, 159 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: leverage is an action word. It's a word that you 160 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: have to you have to use, you have to be 161 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: willing to use in order to ford to mean anything. 162 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: If you don't use leverage, you don't really have it. 163 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: And you know, to think that you could sell your 164 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: soul and along the way not lose the courage and 165 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: motivation to use whatever perceived leverage you have is a 166 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: grave mistake. It's one that people often make in Washington, 167 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 2: in d C, and in the corporate world or anywhere 168 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: else in our society. They think, Hey, when I get 169 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: the money, then I'll be able to flip a switch 170 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: and and just start doing the right thing. That's that 171 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: proved to be very difficult usually in our society today 172 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: because along that path people are tracking you that our 173 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: society has a way of not allowing individuals to rise 174 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 2: to level a level of influence without making sure that 175 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: they'll play ball right. In Washington, d C. They call 176 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,599 Speaker 2: that the steady hands. A pair of steady hands is 177 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: a person who will forego the moral and ethical consideration 178 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: and the interest of the of the status quo. 179 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 3: Uh. 180 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: And there are a lot of steady hands in Washington, 181 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: d C. And there are a lot of people trying 182 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: to break into Washington, d C. Who the the Deep 183 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: State already knows aren't aren't gonna be steady hands. They're 184 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 2: not gonna play like nice. These are the people that 185 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 2: don't get funding. So uh, you know. Again, And for 186 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: the NBA example, let's say I had foregone the argument 187 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: about mental health and mental health policy, that mental health. 188 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: By the way, I just I'm sorry to cut you 189 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: off that for me, because we're engaged in the same 190 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: fight in our side and the veteran side, and there 191 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: is there is a continuity the times that I've worked 192 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: with professional teams and as a motivational coach and support, 193 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, they're very similar things taking place within the 194 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: the what is it the sense of commoditization that comes 195 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: from the soul, right so, and then and then the 196 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: mental health aspect of that grind and that beat down 197 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: and that whole thing. So when you came out in 198 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: that capacity was also one of the other things that 199 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: just really made me gravitate towards that message. And because 200 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: I'm fighting a similar message now, they won't even acknowledge 201 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: the profound impact of a twenty year you know, global 202 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: war on Tara and the impacts in particular in my community. 203 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: So it really was impressive that you took that fight 204 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: to an organization as large and as vast well. 205 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: And you think the NBA is I always used to 206 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: say that there's a global corporate community, and that the 207 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: global corporate community is a watering hole for all of 208 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 2: the problems, all of the issues of humanity, the human 209 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: condition so you know, the NBA again, for example, this 210 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 2: mental when I fought this mental health battle, you know, 211 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: you could say, oh, well, what does mental health matter. 212 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: You're making millions of dollars. That's not the point. 213 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: The point is that mental health is a social issue 214 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: that's being avoided by the greater corporate community, and it's 215 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: it's being it's being intentionally measured, meaning they know. For again, 216 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: for example, when I spoke out about mental health, I 217 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: had no clue that big tech already was projecting the 218 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: ability to manipulate vast amounts of people through social media 219 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: and social engineering. 220 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: That didn't dawn on me at the time. 221 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: I was more so talking about you know, legitimate sort 222 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: of DSM, anxiety, depression, bipolar schizophrenia, drug abuse, drug addiction, 223 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: that type of scope of things. So even I was 224 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: behind in a sense, but I had the intuition that, 225 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 2: wait a second, there is a global corporate community, and 226 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: there's a reason why the NBA, as an institution who 227 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: stands to benefit as being a kind of a tip 228 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: of the spear on social issues, right, they don't want 229 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 2: any part of this issue. They don't want any part 230 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: of this conversation. They certainly don't want any part of 231 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 2: policy around it. But back to your point about Adam 232 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: and his claim that I should have taken the money. 233 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: Let's say I had foregone the mental health fight, when 234 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: China came up, when the LGBTQ came up, when the 235 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: vaccine came up, I would have been blackballed for all 236 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: of those as well. So you see how there's a 237 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: trajectory there where if you want to speak the truth, 238 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: and if you speak the truth from day one, you 239 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: have set yourself on a course to encounter the wickedness 240 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: and evil of the institution, the spirit of the institution, 241 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: all along your journey. And that's kind of the the 242 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: that's what makes heroes heroes. You're signing up for that. 243 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: You're saying, Hey, I know the NBA is going to 244 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: I got a sun coming up. He's fourteen years old. 245 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: He wants to play in the NBA. You think it's 246 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: going to be easy for him. I'd say not. I'd 247 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 2: say he's gonna have to be so much better than 248 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: the best guy. It looks almost intentional that they don't 249 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: give him an opportunity, And I tell him that every day. 250 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: It's like, hey man, you got to realize I went 251 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: against one of the most influential institutions in the entire world, 252 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: and I was vindicated. 253 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 3: I was found to be right. 254 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: Not only has the mental health crisis exploded worldwide, it 255 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 2: exploded in the NBA specifically, and now it's been twisted 256 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: and perverted. 257 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: And that's my own, you know kind. 258 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: Of regret is that I wasn't wise enough at twenty 259 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: one years old to see that mental health would be used, 260 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 2: like many other things are as a to catch all 261 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: phrase to justify you know, two spirit, LGBTQ, transgender, you know, academia. 262 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't realize that that wasn't even on 263 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 2: my radar because at the time, I didn't even know 264 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: what transgender was. The trans wasn't even a thing when 265 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: I was twenty one years old. But but that certainly 266 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: has happened. So now I feel kind of, you know, 267 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: regretful in some sense that that mental health was, you know, 268 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: an issue that was ignored, and then it was absorbed, 269 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: and then it was twisted, and now it's being used 270 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: as a weapon. And that's you know, that's that's how 271 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: a lot of things are being used in society, right Yep. 272 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's interesting, you know, you think about, you know, 273 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: the the naive ta that we have as young men, right, 274 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: and whether it was you imagining moving in you worked 275 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: your butt off to get to that point right where 276 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: you could be in consideration of an elite group, right, 277 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: and then when you get there, it's not what it's 278 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: turned out to be. It's not what it is, And 279 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: so what does that do that forces you to wake 280 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: up to well, what don't I know? What haven't I 281 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: been paying attention? And then what is the messaging like 282 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: you're saying, is the manipulate, the perpetual repackaging of real 283 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: issues in the way that usurps that sacred honor to 284 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: want to know the truth? Yes, hey, it's their constant 285 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: like chiping away at it, and so what. 286 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: I want to be it's the one constant, that's the 287 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: one constant of And if you go all the way down. 288 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: To the root of what what what we're. 289 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: Fighting, we can talk about American history, we can talk 290 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 2: about Western history, we can talk about the history of 291 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 2: modern civilization. You know, we could you know, you could 292 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 2: skin this cat a thousand different ways, but it all 293 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: goes back, in my opinion, it all goes down to 294 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: man's fight against convenience. On my show on Saturday Mornings, 295 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 2: Real America's Voice, I say that convenience will be the 296 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: death of freedom, and and mankind has this this this 297 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 2: perpetual relationship with industrialization and technological advancement, and it is 298 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: it is clear those two, you know, those two things 299 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: will continuously seduce us into giving up more of our freedom, 300 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: but more of our sacred honor in pursuit of making 301 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 2: things easier. 302 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 3: And it's such a genius thing. 303 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 2: This is what this is how you know it's metaphysical 304 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 2: or supernatural, that there's real powers and principalities, and the 305 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: devil is involved in that domain of human existence because 306 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 2: it goes right down to our biological matrix. We as 307 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 2: as human beings are hardwired to try and make things 308 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 2: more efficient out of survival. So of course, if you 309 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 2: give us an automobile versus a bicycle, we say, yeah, 310 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 2: we like that. And then if you give us a 311 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: hover car, and then if you let us teleport, and 312 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: then if you let I mean, we'll just go all 313 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: the way over the cliff in pursuit of of the 314 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: perception that things are made easier. And that's what I 315 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 2: was telling Adam to go back to the comment that 316 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: you made about taking the money. Yeah, you can take 317 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: the money all the way into the grave. The question 318 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: is where do you go after if you don't believe 319 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 2: there's an after. We can't trust you to make more 320 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: on ethical decisions, because what's to keep you from what's 321 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: to keep you from? You know, not even you don't 322 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 2: even know what you don't know, you're not even thinking 323 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: along those lines. Your framework is built on efficiency. This 324 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 2: is the danger of AI, and you know, all these 325 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: other things that are on the horizon for us, and 326 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: we're just walking right into that. AI is probably the 327 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: best example of you know, we don't know how to 328 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: stop ourselves. We will just go full tilt walk into 329 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 2: something we know is completely dangerous, and everybody kind of 330 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 2: and you wonder. I'm like, I get why Elon Musk 331 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 2: has a technocrat siic offant mentality because he's an engineer 332 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 2: and he's a tech guy. 333 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 3: Makes perfect sense for him. 334 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 2: My question is how all these other average amara and 335 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: citizens or people all around the world watch it and go, yeah, okay, 336 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: it's like what. 337 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: Well, it's so I I you know, I work for 338 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: a financial company for my day job, and I speak 339 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: all over the country, you know, probably one hundred plus 340 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: events a year, thirty different states last year, and people 341 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: that are involved in this industry, And I ask regularly, 342 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: what's the greatest fear you have AI? Why it's going 343 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: to replace our jobs? We're not they're not going to 344 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: be needed. We're not going to be advisors or accounts 345 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. And then I say, all right, well, 346 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: who in the room has educated yourself at the highest 347 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: level of it? Because they're all obviously smart people in quotations, 348 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: because they've gotten to where they've got Well who's educated? 349 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: How how much? How aware are you of this reality? 350 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: And all very few, less than probably five percent have 351 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: actually gone done the work educated themselves on AI? What 352 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: is what? What? What is the ways they can use 353 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: it for to be benefit versus this fear that's coming 354 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: behind it or or this intentional cognitive dissonance. Right, if 355 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: I don't touch it, it's not gonna affect Well, the 356 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: challenge is the next generation. They're figuring this out, they're 357 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: being forced to, and I think you know they're with 358 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: even though you know, I think Elon, I think my 359 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: intuition is that he believes if he can create a 360 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: counterpoint to the evil manipulation of it, like they'll be 361 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: able to battle it out for our futures, right, maybe 362 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: something like that, But for us that have to exist 363 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: in through this right, which is for our souls. Right, 364 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: that's what they're going after, right to enslave our souls 365 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: in some capacity with a regimented set of ideology or 366 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: ideas or manipulation whatever that global governance thing is. We 367 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: see with young people though, that twenty four year old 368 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: kid like you and I were, that were naive and impressionable, 369 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: they're gaining access to a whole new set of ideas, 370 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: a whole new system that put probably potentiality of a 371 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: new system that they might be in control of. But 372 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: there's also there's a change taking place in the conservative movement. 373 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: But before we get there, I just want to give 374 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: time for one of our great sponsors, Patriot Mobile.

Right, 379 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: all this is meant to shake us to our core, 380 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: but it should only strengthen our resolve, and we should 381 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: never back down.

First? 405 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 2: Well, the new Conservative movement is by default maga because 406 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: President Trump won in twenty twenty four and he continues 407 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 2: to be the most powerful political force that we've seen, 408 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 2: you know, at least on an individually, maybe in the 409 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 2: history of our nation. You know, obviously the cabal of 410 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 2: globalists that have influence on our government and our special interests. 411 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: And lobby's rival his power as well. 412 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: But you know, as an individual, there hasn't been a 413 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 2: President Trump, and I don't know if we'll have another 414 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 2: President Trump anytime in the near future. I certainly don't 415 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 2: think that I would would would fit the motive. A 416 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 2: lot of special things had to come together for President 417 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 2: Trump to be where he is and who he is 418 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: and and and you know, there's just a lot of 419 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 2: divine uh there's a there's a lot of uh divine 420 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: destiny in his journey. Uh So, right now the Conservative 421 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: movement is is maga, but it's fighting itself there's no doubt, 422 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 2: and for good reason. My contention is that the Conservative 423 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: movement in it's and its foundations was always uh kind 424 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 2: of fraudulent, right is when the first of all, you 425 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: got to go back to the conservative movement specifically, I'm 426 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: not talking about the Republican Party or Conservatism or uh, 427 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: you know, Christianity, or you know, any of the these 428 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 2: other very closely associated sects of of our of our society. 429 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 2: I'm talking about the conservative movement. Uh, the conservative movement 430 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 2: doesn't even get it starting to after World War Two. Well, right, 431 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: there we have a problem because after World War Two, 432 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 2: the prevailing geopolitical fohilosophy informing not only our liberal institutions 433 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 2: but the conservatives that come through them as well, was 434 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 2: the post World War two Democrat liberal order. If your conservatives, 435 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 2: if your mainstream conservative thought leaders are commissioned or their 436 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 2: goal is to conserve the Democrat liberal order, it's kind 437 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: of saying the quiet part out loud already, right, And 438 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: that you know, and you look at some of these 439 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 2: early conservatives like Barry Goldwater, who were shunned right out 440 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: of the gate. I mean, you know, the more the 441 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 2: more genuine America first sort of nationalists, populist Christian Conservatives 442 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 2: were shunned right out of the gate, replaced by people 443 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 2: who were more favorable for the status quo, the new 444 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 2: status quo. So then you get Kissinger, I mean, and 445 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 2: you get Nixon and Kissinger right, I mean again right 446 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 2: out of the gate, And then you get Reagan, right, 447 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: And then you get the Bushes in this entire neo 448 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 2: conservative movement who were intellectually Trotskyites, right, I mean Bill, 449 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 2: Bill Crystal's father. I don't think people understand the lineage here. 450 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 2: Bill Krystal's father, Irving Crystal, was a publicly admitted trotsky I, 451 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: and and trotsky was, you know, a Communist, no other 452 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: way to put it. And and you know, after Lennon 453 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: and and Stalin took took power there in Russia, they 454 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 2: kicked the Trotskyites out, because that's how communists usually do 455 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 2: when there's a power grab. They tend to knife each 456 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: other in the back. 457 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. 458 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 2: And trotsky ends up in Mexico and then they end 459 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: up being in the early inception of the neo conservative 460 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 2: wing of the Republican Party. Uh So, you know, in 461 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 2: that sense, the conservative movement has always had one hand 462 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 2: or one foot on both sides of the fence. 463 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 3: Uh. And and that's changing now. 464 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 2: I mean President Trump was the inception of Republican voters 465 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 2: and Christians and patriots and what has now become the 466 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: MAGA coalition taking a strong look at their own side 467 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 2: of the aisle and going, wait a minute, why why 468 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 2: is it that over the last thirty to forty years 469 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: the Conservatives have had the House and the Senate just 470 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,239 Speaker 2: as many times as the Democrats, yet still we get 471 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 2: the same results. 472 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: We're not buying that narrative. 473 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: If this isn't just some some political football or or 474 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: insider baseball in DC. There's something going on here known 475 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: as the uniparty. And yeah, I think the Conservative movement 476 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 2: now is going through a hard you know, a hard restructuring, 477 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 2: and there's a there's a knife fight. It's bloody and 478 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 2: rightfully so you know, I I my might my fear, 479 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 2: if I'm being honest, is that Charlie Kirk's assassination, President 480 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 2: Trump's tendency to try and save what's left of legacy 481 00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: of legacy and legacy institution, and Israel's influence for our 482 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: politicians and the media, and the Christian evangelical wing of 483 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 2: the Conservative movement may in fact knock America off track here. 484 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 3: I hope not, God forbid. 485 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 2: I hope that the MAGA movement and the America First 486 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 2: movement prevail. But I just see such And with the 487 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: young people, it's, you know, the Poles speak for themselves. 488 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 2: The young people are very open to reimagine in our 489 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: foreign policy the way that it should be right for 490 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: an America First priority. But the question is how involved 491 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: our young people in the political process, especially on our 492 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 2: side of the aisle. 493 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: We'll see, that's time will tell. 494 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: We won't know that until twenty twenty six and twenty 495 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: twenty eight. But when I go to the Republican Party events, 496 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 2: whether they be BPOU meetings or conventions or Cantation district conventions, 497 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 2: very very boomer heavy, very few young people, very few 498 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 2: people under fifty, let alone under thirty. So the America 499 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: First wing of fifteen to thirty year olds may take 500 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 2: them a while, unless they're led, unless they're organized properly, 501 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 2: may take them a while to have that immediate influence 502 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 2: on the political process. And what is the conservative movement 503 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 2: going forward? Well, I found it fascinating. 504 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: I went back and I found a little speech that 505 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: you gave on nine twenty seven, twenty four, and you 506 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: made a comment about being from the next generation and 507 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: that people need to really focus on offering the opportunity 508 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: for cordial exchange. And then you went on to say, 509 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: because there is a high degree of probability that this 510 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: upcoming generation who is becoming disenfranchised on both sides see 511 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: it on the left and the right for a lack 512 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: of uh, maybe the attainable American dream or whatever, that 513 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: that's become right, have you say that that generation is 514 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: going to be a lot more predisposed for a real battle. 515 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: And and I thought, if you could expand on what 516 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: you mean by that, why why do you believe that 517 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: that traditional and goes back to I think what you 518 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: are insinuating with the uniparty is like the Conservative movement. 519 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: Although we go in power, we never seem to bring 520 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: to fruition the promises over me on the campaign trail. Right, 521 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: We're not like the big beautiful Bill tells us they're 522 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: gonna cut spuddy spending, Doge comes in and all this, 523 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: and yet we're still sitting here going, well, none of 524 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,239 Speaker 1: this stuff has been enacted, none of this stuff, and 525 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: so that's that's generating hostilities. 526 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 2: I think, well, yeah, the younger generation is always much 527 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 2: less amenable to the status quo. And and you know, 528 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 2: the danger of that, I guess, is that all revolutions 529 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 2: aren't made equal and righteous. It's it's completely possible that 530 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: this is the heresy of the left. They think that 531 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 2: all revolutions are made equal and righteous, that if a 532 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 2: revolution by its own standards is automatically a net positive, 533 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: which is just crazy, naive and somewhat sinister, manipulative way 534 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: to think about human history or the human condition. People 535 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 2: are naturally wicked, or they tend to be wicked, or 536 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 2: they're they're corruptible. But so it's no different in the 537 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 2: conservative movement, Like there's a younger, more frustrated, angry wing 538 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 2: of the of the conservative movement or the right wing 539 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: that isn't going to play nice when when they finally 540 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: say enough is enough and they decide to run for office, 541 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 2: and they will win, just like I was able to 542 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 2: to make a huge dint here in Minnesota with no 543 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 2: backing from the establishment, no major donors or anything of 544 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 2: the sort, because the truth has equal you know, equal 545 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,239 Speaker 2: power in some sense to the money. Uh, you know, 546 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: they're not gonna they're not gonna go along with this, 547 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 2: with this scam. 548 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 3: Uh. 549 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: And you know again to talk about the scam is 550 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 2: just like the reason the Conservatives have traditionally not changed 551 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 2: anything is because they take one side of the grift. 552 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,719 Speaker 2: This is what the uniparty is about. You got you know, 553 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: there's what about five trillion dollars a year, six trillion 554 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: on paper that gets divvied up between about four thousand 555 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 2: two to four thousand bureaucrats and all of their ancillarities, 556 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: special interests, and lobbies. And you get the left wing 557 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: who's willing to trade their freedom for the security of 558 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 2: social status, public approval, and basic needs welfare let's call 559 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 2: it medicaid. And then the right wing is willing to 560 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 2: trade their their freedom for the security of a military 561 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 2: industrial complex and a police state. And they are, you know, 562 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 2: and that's been you know, the beating heart of the 563 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: MAGA movement is rooted in our view of foreign policy. 564 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 2: So you know, whether you say it's foreign policy or 565 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 2: domestic chicken before the eight car before the horse, Okay, 566 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 2: you can have that semantical argument, but essentially make America 567 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: great again. In the America First movement said for too long. 568 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 2: We've neglected the American citizen and the value of American citizenship, 569 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 2: and just fundamentals like what our country is built upon 570 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 2: the ideas, but even structurally, like the manufacturing industry for example. 571 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: So the conservative movement has been very hesitant to change 572 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: the fundamentals of one of the pillars in American politics, 573 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 2: and that is foreign policy. 574 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: I love that answer. I think you're spot on on 575 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: that evaluation, and I think it it it show it 576 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: prevails in the numbers from you know, your last race 577 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: against Senator Klobaschar. You know, she came in got a 578 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: total of three hundred and five thousand votes in her primary. 579 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: Your primary was much tougher, but you end up victorious 580 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: with seventy four eight hundred. But then that main race 581 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: came and you know, it says it was decidedly different, 582 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 1: that it was a runaway, with her at one point 583 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: seventy nine to two you at one point twenty nine. 584 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: But you know, the lower ballot races, I mean, you 585 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: take that Libertarian party and you take the other and 586 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: man you combine those, that's one hundred thousand votes that 587 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: could have gone towards you. If people had understood your 588 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: message a little bit better. And I think that funding 589 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: was indicative of it. 590 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 3: Right. 591 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: She raised twenty one million, four hundred thousand dollars spent 592 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: twenty three million for a Senate race, which is just astronomical, Right, 593 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: and you ended with UH race one point five and 594 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: spent one point four And I and I just think 595 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: the fact that you were able to chip away at 596 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: such a uh, a lynchpin of of Democratic and Minnesota politics, 597 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: proves that this next race that you know you're going 598 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: up against Tina Smith, I think you've got to feel 599 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: a momentum building for sure. How will you address this 600 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: race a little bit differently from the last? 601 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 3: Well we start we started earlier. That that's the that's 602 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 3: the key. Uh. 603 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 2: And you have to give up on the public perception 604 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 2: of what a race is supposed to be and how 605 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 2: it's supposed to go. We we have this, we have 606 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 2: this uh, you know this, this crazy fantasy that we 607 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 2: gave over control, corporate control, educational control to our enemies, 608 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 2: our liberal enemies, and I do think their enemies genuine 609 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 2: enemies of this country and of American citizenship. And then 610 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, we're gonna run these candidates out 611 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 2: there one time, and they're gonna win with all of 612 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 2: the media and all the money against them, and it's 613 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 2: kind of it's kind of embarrassing that we even believe 614 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 2: that that that's even a part of our strategy. I mean, 615 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 2: no good military man would ever come in or we're 616 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 2: gonna win this on the first day of battle. 617 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 3: No, we're not. That's ridiculous, right, same sort of thing. 618 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 2: So I just decided I'm gonna run until we win 619 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 2: because I know I'm telling the truth, and I'm young. 620 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 2: I'm thirty four. Now, if I was seventy seventy five, 621 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 2: then maybe I do something different. But at thirty four, 622 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 2: I'm gonna run until we win, and we're gonna keep 623 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 2: chipping away, and we're gonna let the momentum of history 624 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 2: fall in our favor. And it did it with Biden 625 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 2: and Kamala Harris and Amy Klobashar, and it will do 626 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 2: it again. For Tina's opense, she actually resigned, so I'm 627 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 2: not running against her. I'll probably be running against Peggy Flanagan, 628 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,240 Speaker 2: who is our lieutenant governor. You know, protect trans rights 629 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: with the blade T shirt. I don't know if you 630 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 2: saw that. Yeah, she's a tim Waltz sick of fan 631 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 2: and she was just endorsed by Bernie Sanders, so that's 632 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 2: probably gonna be my opponent. And it's interesting, like we 633 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 2: started earlier this time. In the last race, I didn't 634 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 2: really get up and running until after I won the endorsement, 635 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 2: which would have been made of that election cycle, and 636 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 2: then the general was in November, right, so you got 637 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 2: about six months to really run a campaign. This time, 638 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: I started the day after I lost, and so a 639 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 2: lot of what we've been doing in terms of getting 640 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 2: out message and putting out content, connecting with the people 641 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 2: here in Minnesota, being at all of the inner Republican 642 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: Party events, and making sure that MAGA still has a 643 00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 2: presence even though the Minnesota Republican Parties leadership in aestablishment 644 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 2: loves them some Nikki. 645 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 3: Hayley, Right, So we started earlier. 646 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 2: For example, you know, a year prior to the twenty 647 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 2: twenty four election, I wasn't at the state Fair. A 648 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 2: year prior to this upcoming twenty twenty six midterm, will 649 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 2: have been at the state Fair two times, and over 650 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 2: one point two million Minnesotans come through that state Fair 651 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 2: in eleven days, and we gave away a thousand Jesus 652 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 2: Is king T shirts at the State Fair, and it 653 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: was a major success. And we heard from a lot 654 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 2: of Christians and even people who are like, hey, I'm 655 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 2: not religious, but man I dig that sign because shit 656 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 2: is getting crazy out here. So, you know, just little 657 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 2: things like that, and understanding how to navigate the discrepancy 658 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 2: in money that's always going to be there as long 659 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 2: as the globalists are more aligned with the Democrat and 660 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 2: liberal politics. 661 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 3: You know, for example, I have. 662 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 2: These mobile billboards that cost me probably you know, seven 663 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 2: to eight grand, you know, a tenth of what it 664 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 2: would cost to occupy a big, a major clear channel 665 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 2: billboard on a on an interstate uh. And we drive 666 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 2: those things all around the state. We have volunteer drivers 667 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 2: hop in and they'd spend the day ten hours just 668 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 2: driving across the state of Minnesota, driving through the inner city. 669 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 2: So we're much more savvy about how we how we 670 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 2: run a ground game and a you know, a small 671 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 2: a small game versus a big machine. 672 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: Well, I think you've seen such a tremendous shift. I mean, 673 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: obviously if if, and I don't think anybody on either 674 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: side of the aisle can deny the massive impact that 675 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: podcasting is happening right, you know too, I'm that friend 676 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: and Sean Ryan and you know him bringing hit the 677 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: guys on THEO Vaughan's, you know, and you know Joe 678 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: Rogan with the President. I mean, these are a shift 679 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: and how the political game is being played. And you know, 680 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: I've I've listened to that uh uh lieutenant assistant lieutenant 681 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: governor and you know, you verse her on behind the 682 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: mic phone. It's not even a challenge. And that's their 683 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 1: their thing is they're still looking for the five minute 684 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: snippet or the two minute. 685 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 2: They'll keep her away from me, you know, yeah, and 686 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 2: they do it. They kept Amy away from me. If 687 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 2: you go back and watch our debate, Oh I did listen, Yeah, 688 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 2: and they yeah, they waited until the weekend before the 689 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 2: general election was going to take place, so it's literally 690 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 2: days before the election was going to happen. And there's 691 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 2: a moment in that debate which is probably my favorite 692 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 2: moment of the entire campaign, where I asked her about 693 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,399 Speaker 2: I was asked about Trump in twenty twenty and whether 694 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 2: or not he won, and I said, plainly, you know, 695 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 2: it appears that he lost, but I can't be sure. 696 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 2: And I can't be sure, because Amy Klobashar was on 697 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 2: the record in twenty eighteen saying that the machines can 698 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 2: be had. 699 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: I thought that was your most beautiful moment. For sure. 700 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 2: She saw she was she was swallowing heavy, and she 701 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 2: was she was fidgeting a little bit. I mean, she 702 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 2: was visibly uncomfortable. I think she probably forgot that she 703 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 2: would that the thing was being filmed, because she she 704 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 2: she showed so much, uh, discomfort when when talking about 705 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 2: election integrity, it's almost it's it's it's almost uh, it's 706 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 2: almost unbelievable. I mean the lack of chops that she 707 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 2: showed physically as as a city United States senator who 708 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 2: wants to uphold the narrative about the integrity of elections. 709 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 3: Uh, and and so. 710 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 2: But but they waited until just before the election so 711 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 2: that that couldn't circulate, right, And and that's what they're 712 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 2: going to try. 713 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 3: And do with Peggy as well. 714 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 2: Because after a transgender ge Hottis goes into a or 715 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 2: goes up to a Catholic school and shoots a bunch 716 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 2: of kids at a mass is there any way to 717 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 2: defend a lieutenant governor who wore a t shirt that 718 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 2: literally promotes violence about trans rights. And to Bernie Sanders, 719 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 2: I mean for BERNIEY Sanders to triple down and endorse her. 720 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he doesn't even know. Maybe I don't know. 721 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,879 Speaker 2: You know, politics is strange where you got a team 722 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 2: and they'll send you something and kind of rubber stamping 723 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 2: and say, hey, listen, you got to do this, and 724 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 2: you never really get a chance to thoroughly look at it. 725 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 2: And I would hope that Bernie, because I think Bernie's 726 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 2: a fraud, to be honest, I don't think he's a 727 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 2: real economic populist. 728 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 3: You look at his relationship. 729 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 2: Big with the medical industrial complex and he's as much 730 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 2: a farmer's shield as anybody. But at least for him 731 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,800 Speaker 2: to try and maintain a position of credibility going forward 732 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 2: with the mom Donni's and the AOC's and some of 733 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,240 Speaker 2: the economic populism that does have legs. For the Democrat 734 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,800 Speaker 2: Party to hit your wagon to a protect trans rights 735 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 2: with a blade and a place where children were killed 736 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 2: at a Catholic school is almost unreal. 737 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 3: I mean, it's brazen. 738 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: I think that that this wing of the Democratic Party 739 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 1: doesn't care about any of it anymore. 740 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 3: True. 741 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 1: I think the free that they have to attach themselves 742 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: to radical ideas is what's bringing the younger, more radicalized member. 743 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: You have three generations of radicalized ki that have come 744 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: out of those schools, those elite schools all over the place, 745 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: who are drinking this stuff like kool aid and really 746 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 1: believe that needs to be what an industrial capitalistic revolution, right, 747 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: And they're they're like, we're going to get the dream back, 748 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: and they're revolutionaries, right. But what I really think, you're 749 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 1: running for the US Senate. This is not you know, 750 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,760 Speaker 1: a congressional district. This is this is the US Senate. 751 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 1: This is the big game. This is there's no other 752 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 1: big game out there than this, other than deep people. 753 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 3: I'm glad you say that. I'm glad that you know. 754 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 1: That a one hundred percent and what I love. 755 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 3: The US Senate is the last bastion of the deep state. 756 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: It is. 757 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 2: That's why, that's why in order to even run a 758 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 2: United States Senate it's a race. It's a running joke 759 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 2: that you need to have already sold out to one 760 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 2: of these major lobbies that can funnel ten to twenty 761 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 2: million dollars to you to be competitive. I mean, even 762 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 2: that is an obscenity in an affront to American citizenship 763 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 2: in and of itself the standard. 764 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: I've got a friend that's running for Senate down in Alabama, 765 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: Jared Hudson, a team guy, and he's coming with that 766 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,800 Speaker 1: hardcore Christian American first message. 767 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 3: Is he getting a lot of money? 768 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I had him on back when 769 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 1: he announced. I haven't had him on since. I haven't 770 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 1: had a conversation on what he's raised. And he's making 771 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: the rounds, he's doing the deal. He's talking into the 772 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: small little, you know, hamlets of of Alabama where those 773 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 1: votes matter. And you know, I don't know how he's 774 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,760 Speaker 1: doing what what, but I do know about his foreign policy. 775 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: And I think the other aspect of that debate you 776 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: had with Clobashar was very striking in terms of, you know, 777 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 1: her stance on both Ukraine and her stance on Israel 778 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: and Palestine, and you know, and it's. 779 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 3: Like, I think he doesn't get any more Neo Khan 780 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 3: than that. 781 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 2: And so except Lindsay Graham, I mean, and they're almost 782 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 2: they're almost attached at the hip. If there's a there's 783 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 2: a great example of the UNI Party, Amy Klobash and 784 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:55,879 Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham are it. 785 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 1: They're the same person, they just are next their name. 786 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 1: What's coming out is I think, you know, you talk 787 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: initially a little bit about that that that the policy 788 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 1: of American security and how critical that is not only 789 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: to protect jobs or re onshore jobs or uh, you know, 790 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: mineral rights or chip development or design, but it's also 791 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 1: I think what really resonates, and a lot of that 792 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: comes when from how vocal the g WAT guys have 793 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: been on their shows and their reach, influencing young young 794 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 1: men who look up to us in some capacity, as 795 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: well as athletes too. You know, there's athletes are being 796 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: more vocal about what they have been forced to be 797 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: conditioned to speak. Now they're talking about, well, that's bullshit 798 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: and this isn't right, and you kind of broke the 799 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: mold for that over ability to speak your mind. And 800 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: what one of those core components is, Hey, we need 801 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: a secure border, we need to stop the forever wars, 802 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: and we need to bring that that that ability to 803 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: recapitulate that middle class, to give that hope back to 804 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: young men to be able to take care of their faith, 805 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,240 Speaker 1: take care of their families, and take care of the future. 806 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: Of this great country. And you said at best with 807 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 1: in another interview that you did. And this was the 808 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: thing that really hit me, man, this is the one 809 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 1: aside from that the sacred honor comment. You talked about 810 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:30,919 Speaker 1: our forefathers, and you talked about that if you give 811 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 1: up your freedom for security, you will have neither, and 812 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: you deserve neither. Would you just talk about that? Because 813 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,839 Speaker 1: that thing, man the most for me so have I. 814 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 3: Was just like that. 815 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 2: May that may be one of the most profound statements 816 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 2: our founding fathers made because it it you know, it 817 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,280 Speaker 2: cautions us about again the dangers of convenience and security 818 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,839 Speaker 2: as a whole. And the thing I like about our 819 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 2: founding fathers is they were tough intellectually, they you know, 820 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 2: they they didn't spare people's feelings, and they weren't politically correct. 821 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 2: I mean, imagine, uh, in the during the inception of 822 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 2: a country, you tell the constituents and the citizens, there 823 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,879 Speaker 2: is a scenario where you forfeit you're deserving of your 824 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 2: birthright because you're such a coward. I fucking love that. 825 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I just ever like I love it. You know, 826 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 2: he says, he says, you know, not only will you 827 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 2: not have the security because you're probably too dumb to 828 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 2: realize you gave it away, But the more important pieces 829 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 2: you don't deserve it. And I guess as an athlete, 830 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 2: I kind of it's like, you didn't deserve to win 831 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 2: the game. You didn't work hard enough, you didn't get 832 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 2: up early, you didn't put in the extra time, and 833 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 2: you didn't you weren't emotionally steady enough and tough enough 834 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 2: during the game to make the plays necessary in order 835 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 2: to win. You didn't deserve to win. And there is 836 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 2: a scenario and a thought process that we've lost in 837 00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 2: this country where what we deserve should be put on trial, 838 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 2: what we deserve should be brought into question. Now. I 839 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 2: think American citizens buy in lars deserve much more than 840 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 2: we're getting. That's kind of the principle of the America 841 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 2: First movement. But the question is whether or not we 842 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 2: demanded go back to your leverage. The comment about leverage. 843 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 2: If we don't leverage our citizenship, and first of all, 844 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 2: if we don't recognize that citizenship is real and it's 845 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 2: important enough to leverage it, then we don't deserve freedom 846 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 2: and we don't deserve security, and we won't have either. 847 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 2: One and quite honestly, we don't have either one right now. 848 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 2: I mean that's kind of the reality is we think 849 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 2: we have security, Well, how much security you have when 850 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 2: a transgender gi Hotis can kill a bunch of kids 851 00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,920 Speaker 2: at a Catholic school and then the people who supported 852 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,759 Speaker 2: it and promoted it turn around and tell you they 853 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 2: should you should vote for them again, and you should 854 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 2: give them more federal power. It's like, well, okay, I mean, 855 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 2: you know, how stupid do you think we are? And 856 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 2: they do think we're stupid and relai yeah, I say 857 00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 2: this about foreign policy. 858 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. We live in a reverse vassal empire. 859 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 2: You know, in a vassal state traditionally is where a 860 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 2: small kingdom pays tribute to a bigger kingdom for protection 861 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 2: military protection. 862 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 3: Is I you know, I pay you. 863 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 2: A small tribute and if I ever have trouble with 864 00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 2: my neighbors, you'll send aid. We live in a reverse 865 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,479 Speaker 2: vassal state where we pay everybody else to protect them. 866 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 2: And a sound mind would ask why would we pay, Like, 867 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 2: for example, here in Minneapolis, which has a very dangerous 868 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:37,360 Speaker 2: downtown area of crime and you know, gun gun violence 869 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 2: and things like that. Would you ever pay to go 870 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 2: work at the most dangerous alcohol selling establishment in your 871 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 2: respective city. And any smart person's gonna say, no, why 872 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,319 Speaker 2: would I go pay to be a bodyguard at the 873 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:55,319 Speaker 2: most dangerous nightclub in the city. Well you would if 874 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,719 Speaker 2: you were selling drugs out of the back, you would 875 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 2: be paying to watch over your And that's what we've 876 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 2: we've typically done. That's that's that's the great sin of 877 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 2: our military industrial complexes. 878 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 3: After World War Two, we said we're. 879 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 2: Going to go around the world and bring peace and uh, 880 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 2: we're gonna bring democracy and freedom, uh by peace through strength, 881 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 2: and we're gonna make all these nations. And they're people 882 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 2: self determining. They're not determined. They're not self determining. They're dependent. 883 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 2: You know, we've created a protectorate system and and we 884 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 2: pay them all and and really, the the ugly part 885 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 2: about the. 886 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:30,479 Speaker 3: Scam is. 887 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 2: It's all just a justification to steal our own people's 888 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 2: tax money. 889 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 1: With that, they're not paying the people making decisions, they're 890 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 1: not paying. They're getting rich. We're paying. And so our 891 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: way of life are children's way of life, the next 892 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 1: generation's way of life. That's what's that they're they're paying 893 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 1: the tab on it. 894 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,440 Speaker 2: Well, we don't, but we don't question it because you know, 895 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 2: we are taught in schools that there is this, you know, 896 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 2: there is this, uh this this net work of global 897 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 2: interlocutors and in load bearing walls that can't be disturbed 898 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 2: or challenged or us we won't have the natural deterrence 899 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:13,879 Speaker 2: or the institutional structural deterrence to nuclear war or world war. 900 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,359 Speaker 2: And that's been the running narrative. So you're I mean 901 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 2: reacn said it best, or he said it well, a 902 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 2: nation that taxes people above thirty three percent can't survive. 903 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 2: I mean, we're up to fifty sixty percent. And you 904 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 2: know if a nation taxed its people and it went 905 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 2: to invest like well, I talk about the national debt, 906 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 2: you know, border debt, forever wars. You know, there is 907 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 2: such a thing as good debt. I don't want people 908 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,360 Speaker 2: to be mistaken. You can have good debt in the 909 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,000 Speaker 2: real estate industry, for example. The whole thing works off 910 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 2: a debt more or less, but the debt has to 911 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 2: go to investing in things that will actually make you 912 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 2: more money, that will actually return to profit. We invest 913 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 2: our money, we go into more debt. We tax our 914 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 2: people to pay to keep the lights on, that's right, 915 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,439 Speaker 2: And we pay to give other people money to keep 916 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 2: their lights on or really to subvert us. And you know, 917 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,440 Speaker 2: it's about what the debt is used for. We we 918 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,279 Speaker 2: have taxed our people into oblivion, and what do we 919 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 2: have to show for. Look at Beijing, they're kicking our ass. 920 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 2: Beijing looks like something out of the you know, out 921 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 2: of a sci fi movie. And Detroit, Michigan, the former 922 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,080 Speaker 2: manufacturing epicenter of the entire world World War. 923 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,400 Speaker 3: Two theater, is a shithole. 924 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 2: Detroit, Michigan in a in a perfect world, Detroit Michigan 925 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,400 Speaker 2: would look like Shane gri La. 926 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 3: That's right. 927 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 1: My dad grew up in Detroit and told me about 928 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 1: what it was like as dad worked for GM his entire, 929 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, fifty year career, and he just he talks 930 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 1: about it with such reverence and what it was like 931 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: being at the epicenter of American dominance. And and you know, 932 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: they just went back recently to visit. My mom was 933 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 1: from the Squie and to visit and go back and 934 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 1: and it's just they're depressed. They're like, how does this 935 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 1: go from in one generation, go from you know, what 936 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: was considered to be the light on the hill to 937 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 1: being just uh destitute and broken. And you know, I 938 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 1: obviously it has to do with the manipulation of the people, 939 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: the offshoring of jobs, the restructuring of of of our 940 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 1: The system that seemed to be the best that emerged 941 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 1: out of uh was cut from the savagery of American 942 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 1: exceptionalism of those early days. But now it's been hijacked, 943 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 1: like you said, by kind of this globalist influence, same. 944 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 2: Way, same exact way the conservative movement was hijacked in 945 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,879 Speaker 2: its early days. You know this, this post World War 946 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 2: two democratic liberal order was was hijacked in its earliest days. 947 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 2: And you could probably make a better argument that the 948 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 2: conservative movement. 949 00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 3: Uh uh. 950 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 2: Was wash went through its transformation out of out of 951 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 2: political necessity. I would say, uh, you could make a 952 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,759 Speaker 2: strong argument that this entire post World War two deal 953 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,839 Speaker 2: was putting emotion well before, and it was not of 954 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 2: it was out of necessity. It wasn't altruistic. It had 955 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,239 Speaker 2: it has a great altruistic narrative to it. 956 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,360 Speaker 3: But I don't I don't really, I don't see it 957 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 3: that way. 958 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 2: I see it in two ways, either as metaphysical or 959 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 2: supernatural UH, the influence and wickedness of the results. I 960 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,040 Speaker 2: think it's funny like Jordan Peterson is somebody who I 961 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 2: respect a great deal, despite his his current or most 962 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 2: recent UH affiliation with the Daily Wire and how much 963 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,800 Speaker 2: I disagree with them. But I think Jordan Peterson is 964 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 2: is a person and the type of mind that changed 965 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,319 Speaker 2: the course of human history. And we need more people 966 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 2: who think on that level, UH to be able to 967 00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 2: wrestle with things. But it's funny like Jordan Peterson, for example, 968 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 2: you know, talks a lot about Carl Jung right and NIETZSCHEE, 969 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 2: and some of these people have profound philosophical concepts, like 970 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 2: one from Jung is you can look at the results 971 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 2: and in further motive. Yeah, yeah, that's a great You know, 972 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,359 Speaker 2: I'm not a huge fan of Yung, but I do 973 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 2: think there's a lot of truth in that that you 974 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 2: can look at the results of a thing, or a 975 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,719 Speaker 2: group of people or a person and you can go 976 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,240 Speaker 2: back and in further motive. Even if that motive wasn't 977 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 2: wasn't at the top of that person's consciousness, somewhere in 978 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,799 Speaker 2: there there was some wickedness that prevailed and yielded that 979 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,280 Speaker 2: result later on down the road. That's a very profound 980 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 2: intellectual point. He doesn't seem to see that about our 981 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 2: security guarantees and our foreign policy. That the entire construction 982 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 2: of the post World War two framework. You can go 983 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 2: back and look at the results now retrospect. You can 984 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,879 Speaker 2: go back and infer that the motive was not altruistic. 985 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 2: It was not only up and up our relationship with Israel, 986 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 2: our involvement in the Middle East, the petrol dollar, all 987 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 2: these things. You can look at the motive the same 988 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 2: way he says about other things, and look at the 989 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:11,400 Speaker 2: results and in further motive. 990 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,800 Speaker 1: Well, I think the same is true with our alliance 991 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,959 Speaker 1: with the Russians. I mean, we knew what was going 992 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 1: on prior to our alliance with them. World War two, 993 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 1: you mean, yeah, world War two. Absolutely the thing that 994 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,359 Speaker 1: cracks me up about World War Two. 995 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 3: And I just. 996 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: I did a show the other day about the soul 997 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 1: of the twenty four year old right, and you know, 998 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 1: and I reference, you know, the early twentieth century, and 999 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 1: that the twenty four year old German kid, right, and 1000 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: the twenty four year old Russian kid, And why did 1001 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 1: they gravitate towards these ideas in full force because they 1002 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:54,360 Speaker 1: were demoralized, they were disenfranchised, They felt like the system 1003 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: had been manipulated against them, They had lost the sense 1004 00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 1: of their own self, of pride. They were uneducated as 1005 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 1: to the diabolical nature of or machiavelian nature of what 1006 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 1: was taking place above them, which is the consistent thing 1007 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,919 Speaker 1: that takes place. So to just wrap this up, because 1008 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate you so much and I appreciate your time 1009 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,320 Speaker 1: with me, I just want to end. It's a deeper question. 1010 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 1: But you talked about and I think you were talking 1011 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: about it more from a race capacity, but it didn't 1012 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 1: resonate like that with me. It resonated in a much 1013 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:34,960 Speaker 1: deeper level where you talked about that our spiritual our 1014 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:40,240 Speaker 1: spiritual curiosity, our desire to understand faith and what we 1015 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 1: should leave you back to that sacred honor to questions. 1016 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 1: It's the heart of our growing intellectualism. Like if we 1017 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 1: can comprehend the necessity to understand that battle between good 1018 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: and evil, then we can educate ourselves as to what 1019 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 1: fight we're actually fighting. Can you expand on that just 1020 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 1: real quick? 1021 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 2: Well, I think I think the comment that you're referring 1022 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 2: to is when I When I was in the podcast 1023 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 2: with Professor Penn, who has a good podcast as well 1024 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 2: Ukrainian Jew. We were talking about fuintest and where I 1025 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 2: agree with Nick and where I have some disagreement as well. 1026 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 3: Uh, and and I think i Q is one of them. 1027 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 2: You know, I'm a person who I feel I'm pretty 1028 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 2: straightforward on all the issues. 1029 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 3: I don't really have a side. 1030 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 2: I'm on the side of the American people and the Christians, 1031 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 2: you know, with no shame, right. 1032 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 1: Uh. 1033 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 2: The Christians and the American people is the side that 1034 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 2: I'm on. So I don't like to play games. For example, 1035 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 2: I'm very critical of Israel's influence on our government. I'm 1036 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 2: very critical of APEX. I think it's the greatest example 1037 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 2: of the UNI Party. You can look right on their 1038 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:51,120 Speaker 2: landing page. You'll see Scalise emm Or, Mike Johnson, Hakeim Jeffries, 1039 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 2: and Katherine Clark who are about is diametrically opposed politically 1040 00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 2: as you could possibly get besides their love of Israel. 1041 00:58:58,760 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 3: I guess uh. 1042 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 2: I'm very critical and I've been called anti Semitic, but 1043 00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 2: I don't like when people criticize the Jews on two basis. 1044 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,080 Speaker 2: One that Israel is not a legitimate nation because they 1045 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,280 Speaker 2: had our help in winning the war for their territory. 1046 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 3: That's that's a bullshit argument. We could argue that with. 1047 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: Us in France. You could argue that there. 1048 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 3: You go, and that's the great argument, right. 1049 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,480 Speaker 2: And I do think I do think that there is 1050 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,560 Speaker 2: a I do think there's a criticism of Israel's legitimacy 1051 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 2: as a nation that is intended to delegitimize them, so 1052 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 2: they can delegitimize America on the same grounds. And I'm 1053 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 2: just not going to deal with that side of things. 1054 00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let them run that game on me. 1055 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,760 Speaker 2: All land is conquered land. All land that's of any 1056 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 2: consequence has has been fought for in the past, and 1057 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 2: one one group has prevailed over the other. So it 1058 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 2: doesn't seem accidental to me that a George Soros would 1059 00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:58,480 Speaker 2: fund candidates or even a let's say a political philosophy 1060 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 2: in general that would look to delegitimize all borders in 1061 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 2: all nations worldwide for his open society. Okay, so don't 1062 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,440 Speaker 2: say that Israel is not a legitimation, just say you 1063 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 2: don't agree with their government's policies. 1064 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:12,040 Speaker 3: That's right. Okay. 1065 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 2: And also don't say that they're not the real Jews. 1066 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:18,400 Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. Judaism is a voluntary faith, the same way 1067 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 2: as Christianity, Muslim and many other faiths. 1068 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 1: Now, I will get that argument, I know, you know. 1069 01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's just, it's not it's not 1070 01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 2: it's not useful in my opinion, it muddies the waters. Now, 1071 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 2: I do understand when people make the argument these these 1072 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 2: aren't the ethnic Jews that have a claim to that 1073 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:41,440 Speaker 2: land genetically. Okay, Well, we could talk about the migrations 1074 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:45,120 Speaker 2: of Jews throughout history and whatnot. Fine, that's okay. Bottom 1075 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 2: line is if you say you're Jewish, my my definition 1076 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 2: of Jewish is do you believe in God and do 1077 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 2: you follow the faith of the Jews. If you claim 1078 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 2: you're a cultural Jew, I'm saying no, no, no, I 1079 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 2: don't believe in that. In fact, I called the secular 1080 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 2: and cultural Jews anti Jews. That's just my just like, 1081 01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:04,680 Speaker 2: if you don't believe in if you don't, if you're 1082 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,160 Speaker 2: Jewish and you don't believe in God, you're not Jewish 1083 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 2: to me. If you're a Christian you don't believe in Christ, 1084 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 2: you're not Christian. Uh So that those are two things. 1085 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,680 Speaker 2: But I say that because just as a preface for mine. 1086 01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 1: Can I just ask a clarifying question on that, is, 1087 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: is there a reality to uh deep deep cultural root right? Like, Uh, 1088 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,880 Speaker 1: let's talk about uh in northern Iraq? Right, you have 1089 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,240 Speaker 1: the oh I can't believe them drawing a bank on them, 1090 01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 1: but they're not the Kurds. Yeah, the Kurds. It's herds, right, 1091 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 1: So they're iraqis right, They're Muslim, but they're Kurds, right, And. 1092 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 3: So also a lot of Jewish Kurds too, That's. 1093 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Right, that's right, that's right. And so like there there 1094 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 1: is a deep connection that that can morph out of 1095 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 1: a cultural identity as well too. That that sure, you know, 1096 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: and that's why I think. 1097 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,520 Speaker 2: But my point is, my point is with the with 1098 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 2: the Jews currently, and Professor Penn talks about this as 1099 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,520 Speaker 2: a Ukrainian Jew and you know, Ukraine is kind of 1100 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 2: one of those hot beds of places that the Jews 1101 01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 2: migrated to after the you know, after after the you know, 1102 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 2: the the. 1103 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:17,959 Speaker 3: Roman Jewish War. 1104 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 2: So uh, it depends on which group of people you're 1105 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 2: talking about and which set of values and things survive culturally. 1106 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 2: To me, there's no greater example of contradiction than the 1107 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 2: Jewish identity being ripped from its its biblical history and 1108 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 2: then to say, we have to give you this land 1109 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,920 Speaker 2: and we have to support all your policies based on 1110 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,920 Speaker 2: that biblical history. I mean, if you're gonna tell me 1111 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 2: that there's a holy war and I should support Israel 1112 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,479 Speaker 2: faithfully because of my own Christian faith. But the people 1113 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 2: in Israel, or let's say the leaders there in Israel 1114 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 2: don't believe in that faith, or they reject that faith. 1115 01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 2: We have a theological schism here. We have to reconcile this. 1116 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 2: We can't just I can't fight a war based on 1117 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 2: faith with people who don't who reject the faith. 1118 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,439 Speaker 3: That that's kind of a weird thing. 1119 01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 2: And so, you know, historians agree the culture you're talking about, 1120 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 2: sort of that cultural or ethnic Jewish identity only survived 1121 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,000 Speaker 2: the turnal house of history great in large part due 1122 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,600 Speaker 2: to the Hebrew Bible. That the traditions that prevailed from 1123 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:33,480 Speaker 2: the Hebrew Bible uh proceeded throughout the diaspora and were 1124 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 2: passed down orally and written. And that's why you have 1125 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 2: a Jewish identity today. That's why you know, the all 1126 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:43,600 Speaker 2: the other great empires of the past can't say. 1127 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 3: The same thing. 1128 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 2: And you can make an argument for mono theism and 1129 01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 2: our religion and how powerful it is and it's it's 1130 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,480 Speaker 2: human value because the Jews were able to survive the 1131 01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 2: turnal House. 1132 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,960 Speaker 3: Of history with that identity. 1133 01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 2: But then don't be telling me I got I gotta 1134 01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,959 Speaker 2: you know, bow at the feet of Jews who don't 1135 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 2: believe in God. Hold on now, We're not going to 1136 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 2: play that game, so you know, and again this is 1137 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,320 Speaker 2: all about I was talking about fuint As in this podcast, 1138 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 2: and that's where he and I. I don't think that 1139 01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 2: quint As even makes that argument. Just some people who 1140 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,160 Speaker 2: have criticism in Israel do make that argument. But fwint 1141 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 2: has makes an argument often about i Q, and I 1142 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:23,439 Speaker 2: just don't think IQ is a Christian idea. I think 1143 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:28,760 Speaker 2: that the Scripture shows us pretty much as plain as 1144 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 2: as you possibly can get, that the spirit and the 1145 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 2: intellect are inextricably linked. I mean, if you make the 1146 01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 2: if you make the assumption that the Scripture is influenced 1147 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 2: by the Holy Spirit and God doesn't make mistakes, and 1148 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,080 Speaker 2: that that God's intention for the Scripture is to help 1149 01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,600 Speaker 2: inform all of his children and believers to be closer 1150 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:54,480 Speaker 2: to him. It it it's making a statement that faith 1151 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 2: itself is in some ways an intellectual development, which also 1152 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,840 Speaker 2: affirms that the that can be developed, it's not static. 1153 01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,439 Speaker 2: The people who created the idea of IQ, coming from 1154 01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 2: the British Empire's academic academic world, you know Galt and 1155 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 2: you know Darwin and some of these guys, they had 1156 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 2: a vested interest in making the argument that IQ is static. 1157 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 2: And we know what that interest was. That interest was drugs, 1158 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,280 Speaker 2: piracy and slavery. And I'm not one to say that 1159 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 2: the West is illegitimate because of colonialism, because again, all 1160 01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,600 Speaker 2: land has been conquered. But I'm not naive to the 1161 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 2: fact that some of their academic contributions, some of their 1162 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 2: intellectual contributions, were rooted in their desire to colonize and 1163 01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,880 Speaker 2: subjugate what they considered or what they described as lesser 1164 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,400 Speaker 2: forms of people. But you know, China has a very 1165 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:54,440 Speaker 2: profound ancient civilization. South Americans obviously show a profound civilization. 1166 01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:55,280 Speaker 3: They're in Africa. 1167 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 2: There were nations other than the Egyptians, like the Mali Empire, 1168 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 2: who had their very very sophisticated society. So I think 1169 01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,880 Speaker 2: the intellect can be developed. I think one of the 1170 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,000 Speaker 2: greatest sins when we look back in history, one of 1171 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,240 Speaker 2: the greatest sins will be how people who were powerful 1172 01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:17,760 Speaker 2: strategically and to their own benefit or for their own benefit, 1173 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,200 Speaker 2: tried to bastardize the intelligence and intellect of certain people 1174 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:27,080 Speaker 2: and they and they block them from intellectual development by 1175 01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 2: economic and military means. You know as well as I. 1176 01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 2: You know, there's a reason why South America is a 1177 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,040 Speaker 2: third world place. There's a reason why Africa is a 1178 01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 2: third world place. It's not just because their IQ is low. 1179 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 2: And I do agree that their IQ is probably low, 1180 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,200 Speaker 2: but I do think it could be developed. We like 1181 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 2: them stupid. We like and look at the example of America. 1182 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 2: We like Negro stupid. The American the American UNI Party 1183 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 2: that has been dominated by white academic intellectuals, loves black 1184 01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 2: communities dumb. They love your average black person to be dumb. Now, 1185 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,800 Speaker 2: a few of us, like myself, not pat myself on 1186 01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 2: the back, you know, but a few of us cracked 1187 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,120 Speaker 2: through the mold or we you know, we're anomalies. We 1188 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,439 Speaker 2: break through that ceiling and we say I'm gonna question 1189 01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,720 Speaker 2: the entire thing from the from the outset, from the 1190 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 2: bottom up, and there are Thomas Soul was one of them, right, 1191 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:22,240 Speaker 2: And there are plenty of examples of very, very wise 1192 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,840 Speaker 2: and smart African Americans. I don't really call them African 1193 01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 2: Americans black people, but by and large, and this is 1194 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 2: of our entire education system in general. But you really 1195 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 2: see it in black communities. For example, in Minnesota. This 1196 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 2: is this blows people's minds. Minnesota has one of the 1197 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:43,680 Speaker 2: best public school systems in the country. The black community, 1198 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 2: the inner cities. Minneapolis public schools are second to worst 1199 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:53,040 Speaker 2: in the country in reading proficiency. So the the inequality 1200 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:57,920 Speaker 2: gap of education probably has its single greatest example in 1201 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,640 Speaker 2: the country right here in Minnesota, but it being led 1202 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:01,840 Speaker 2: by white liberals. 1203 01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:03,960 Speaker 3: And so you see what I mean. 1204 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:05,560 Speaker 2: I mean, there's no way you can look at the 1205 01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 2: education system and the bastardization of the intellect in Black America. 1206 01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 2: And I think this was done strategically. Why it's easy 1207 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 2: to control people who are stupid. But the same thing 1208 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,479 Speaker 2: is true in Africa. The same thing is true, and 1209 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 2: we go there, we pay warlords, we deal with certain desperates. 1210 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,040 Speaker 2: We were given the Taliban money and we like that 1211 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 2: they suppressed the intellectual growth of their people makes it 1212 01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:30,280 Speaker 2: easier for us to deal. 1213 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:36,599 Speaker 1: Wow, that's about as profound as it gets right there. 1214 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: And it goes back to that the manipulation of the spirit. 1215 01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:47,000 Speaker 1: And I think everything that you say sounds makes sense 1216 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:51,679 Speaker 1: to me. I appreciate you giving me the cold, hard truth. 1217 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,640 Speaker 1: That's one of the main reasons why after watching the 1218 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,880 Speaker 1: I saw the post you made the other day where 1219 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 1: you had the video of Malcolm X on there, and 1220 01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 1: I was just like, I mean, when was the last 1221 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 1: time in my paying attention to politics that a modern 1222 01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 1: Republican senatorial candidate post a post in that capacity talking 1223 01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 1: about the devastation of the spirit through whether it was 1224 01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 1: the dumbing down of a particular group of people, or 1225 01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,759 Speaker 1: was there the manipulation of information? And it just seems 1226 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:32,599 Speaker 1: like you are breaking the mold of what has been 1227 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:37,600 Speaker 1: the Union Party has contained, managing both sides, creating expectations, 1228 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,679 Speaker 1: keeping them at the lowest level. Why the the bigger 1229 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:46,519 Speaker 1: machine just continues to uh uh, I don't know what 1230 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 1: it is. It's almost uh just pummeled the intellectual curiosity 1231 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,280 Speaker 1: of the next generation. 1232 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,160 Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's that's what I mean. 1233 01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,040 Speaker 2: Is is again the development of the spirit and the 1234 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,640 Speaker 2: intellect are inextricably linked. And I'm not saying that you 1235 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:07,360 Speaker 2: have to be an intellectual giant to have a relationship 1236 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 2: with Christ or I'm not saying that you have to 1237 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 2: be trained formally in a school or in an academic 1238 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 2: setting to be a good Christian. But what I am 1239 01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,440 Speaker 2: saying is that even if you're not trained in school, 1240 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 2: there is a there is a wisdom to righteousness and 1241 01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 2: a wisdom to the spirit that that makes you just 1242 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:24,720 Speaker 2: as smart as any PhD. 1243 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:26,240 Speaker 3: And we see that. 1244 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,640 Speaker 2: But if you if you have the you know, the 1245 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 2: spark of your intellect dampened and suppressed in many many 1246 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:37,559 Speaker 2: cases intentionally, Yeah, you're gonna be You're gonna struggle. You're 1247 01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,040 Speaker 2: gonna struggle in life, You're gonna struggle in your relationships, 1248 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,439 Speaker 2: and most importantly, you're going to struggle in your own 1249 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,639 Speaker 2: internal intellectual growth, which is at the root of of 1250 01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,479 Speaker 2: being a good Christian.
