1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: percent off. This is a Jesse Kelly show. Imagine sitting 20 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: in a cell full of water with only your head 21 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: above it in the pitch black. Now imagine sitting in 22 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: that cell like that for three days. How's your mental 23 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: health doing? And with that, let me just wish a 24 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: happy Monday to everybody. We are going to talk about 25 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: treason and sedition. I've heard these words thrown around a lot. Well, 26 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: I have actually found some treason in sedition. I'm going 27 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: to call it out. We're gonna talk about Joe Biden 28 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: already coming out and committing to slaughtering thousands of jobs 29 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: immediately day one. This is going well. And Iran, don't worry. 30 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm not going to drown you in foreign policy. I 31 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: never do that. But something's going on in Iran, and 32 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: I thought it was really revealing for the modern day 33 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, the modern day left in what they believe. 34 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: But before we get to any of that, let's rewind 35 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: just just a little bit about seventy years. Let's go 36 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: to a little place that doesn't exist anymore. It's called 37 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: East Germany. Now, for those who aren't aware, just do 38 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: about a two sentence recap. Here Stalin is allowed to 39 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: take Berlin thanks FDR in World War Two. That was 40 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: a mistake. The Soviets then sees a sphere of influence 41 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: in Eastern Europe. Soviets because they're communists again, just like 42 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: America's communists today do not see spheres of influence and 43 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: then sit back on their heels and say, Wow, let's 44 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: just let them do whatever they want. Communists use power. 45 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: They take East Germany, East Berlin, East Germany and they 46 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: force it into becoming a communist place. This is immediately 47 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: in the aftermath of World War Two. Now this thing 48 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: doesn't go very well pretty much right off the bat. 49 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: It's hard enough. In fact, it's impossible to make communism work. 50 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: It's really impossible when you're forcing it on people who 51 00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: were relatively happy with life beforehand. Lies the Germans had 52 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: been through quite a lot by the end of World 53 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: War Two, and honestly he had put other people through 54 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: quite a lot. But we're talking about the regular citizens here. 55 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: You've lived I mean, think about what you've lived through. 56 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: If you're up fifty year old German citizen at this 57 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: point in time, you've lived through the Ymar Republic, your 58 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: money not being worth anything. Then you lift Adolf Hitler 59 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: rises the power. Now post World War two, Oh gosh, 60 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: the communists are now in charge. Your life has been eventful, 61 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: to say the least. The Soviets get in there and 62 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: they immediately start locking things down, pushing their Soviet propaganda, 63 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: pushing their total control over society. And it's such an 64 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: adjustment for people. Everybody. Immediately you're in a workers union, 65 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: you're going to work here, and you're going to say this, 66 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: and you're going to think this, and you're going to 67 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: and it's a lot. It's they don't they don't exactly 68 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: slowly work it in. They wanted in, and they want 69 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: it in right away. And by nineteen fifty, you remember 70 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: this is really really close. After the World War ended, 71 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: they start the Ministry of State Security, which is what 72 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about today. The Stazi, what 73 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: was it, Well, that's actually difficult to say because it 74 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: was everything. The Stazi was everything. The Communist Party of 75 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: East Germany, the guys who run it, you know, there's 76 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: always a council of these dirty commies who run it. 77 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: They're a party, right, so they're the Communist party. They're 78 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: running things. However, they need somebody to do internal state 79 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: security because that's what commies do do. They need somebody 80 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: to do external state security because that's what commies do. 81 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: They need somebody to collect information, they need somebody to 82 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: monitor things. And when I say monitor things, we'll get 83 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: to that in a few I mean monitor everything radio, TV, 84 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: your phone calls, the private things you say to your wife, 85 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: what your kids learn in school, the products that are sold, 86 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: the products that are not sold. Each and every part 87 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: of your life must be monitored and controlled. You need 88 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: an enforcement arm of some kind. If you're the Communist 89 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: Party of East Germany and so, what do you do, Well, 90 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: it's not difficult. Remember you have a big daddy sitting 91 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: over there in the Soviet Union. You say, big Daddy Stalin, 92 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: help us out, help us get this thing organized here 93 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: and Stalin because remember, their goal is to spread communism 94 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: in every part of the world. I need you to 95 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: understand that as it applies today, because the Communists are 96 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: still here. I've said this before, I will say it again. 97 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: The Soviet goal was not to spread communism just to 98 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: this country and this country and just to expand a bit. 99 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: The Soviet goal, the communist goal, is to spread to 100 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: each inch of the face of the planet. And they're 101 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: not happy until they do so. And our communists are 102 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: the same. They never get to a point where they 103 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: look around and say, ah, we' this is enough. I mean, 104 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: I feel like we're okay. Now they don't. They didn't 105 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: then they don't now, And because they're expanding communist control, 106 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: they're more than happy to help a new communist country 107 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: like East Germany get its affairs in order locked down. 108 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: This is how we do things. So they're approaching the NKVD, 109 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: the KGB, they're approaching the KGB and saying, how do 110 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: you do surveillance, how do you do security? How do 111 00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: you organize things? And the Stazi, the eight security guys, 112 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: the Stazi, they were a wing of the Soviets. They 113 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: did things the Soviets wanted done. They wouldn't do anything 114 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: the Soviets didn't want done. They were definitely their own entity, 115 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: though it's it's it's it's difficult to explain it because 116 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: they're still working it out to this day that the 117 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: Stazi in East Germany. East Germany was its own country 118 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: and the Stazi they were their own state security thing. 119 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: But they were never going to step out a line 120 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: from something the Soviets wanted done, ever, and they were really, really, 121 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: really good, And a lot of this comes to the 122 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: fact that they were German. Let's just be honest when 123 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: it comes to organization, and frankly, when it comes to 124 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: cracking down on your own people. Who does it better 125 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: than the Germans. The Stasi became so good that when 126 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: people like Q but in Castro, we're trying to get 127 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: their affairs in order over there and figuring out their 128 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: own state security, the KGB not only sent their own guys, 129 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: they would send Stazi guys over there. Hey, hey, Stazi, 130 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: go get these guys straightened out. Tell them how to 131 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: lock things down. You know, you do it real well. 132 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: These were evil, evil people, and really good at being evil. Remember, 133 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: you want your enemies to be stupid and inadequate. You 134 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: need to fear the ones who are really good at it. 135 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: Now the Stazi gets into place, you know, nineteen fifty things. 136 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to say things are going well, but 137 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: things are. They're they're plodding along and then boom, nineteen 138 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: fifty three happens, and there was we'll probably do a 139 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: show on this at one point in time. I'm not 140 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: doing it today. There was a national uprising in East 141 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: Germany where they remember they're fresh to communism. The people 142 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: freak there free, They're like, what is this crappy system? 143 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: There's no food, everything sucks. D're in control of everything. 144 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: There was a million person plus uprising of protests and riots, 145 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: and yeah, it was wonderful. I mean it was awesome, 146 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: the German people standing up, the East German people standing 147 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: up and saying no. But in the end that prompted 148 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: some changes. Talk about those changes and treason and sedition 149 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: in the United States that I've found. Hang, oh God, 150 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: on nadimally side of me, Jesse Kelly, don't listening to 151 00:10:54,280 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: the Jesse Kelly Show.

Remember we're talking 170 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: about the Stazi today, the State Police of East Germany. 171 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: Nineteen fifty three, this a national uprising. The Soviets are 172 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: still very very aware that some people are chafing under communism. 173 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: The Soviets do not play around in nineteen fifty three 174 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: with this uprising. It's so big, it's so violent. The 175 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: Soviets roll in the tanks immediately and they put it down. 176 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: And this is something you have to understand about the 177 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: spread of communism. The Soviets were very, very, very concerned 178 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: about people hating it publicly. It's part of the reason 179 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: they were so brutal to their own people, inside their 180 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: own borders and their minds. Yes, it's aggressive, it's violent. 181 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: Communism is it is, it always will be. But they 182 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: wanted people around the world to look at it and 183 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: want it in their minds. They're always doing propaganda for 184 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: everyone else. They want some random country somewhere a Zimbabwe 185 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: to look at East Germany and say, man, they really 186 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: seem like they have their stuff together. So when there's 187 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: something like a national uprising that makes international news, the 188 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: Soviets really freak out because they don't want that word 189 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: getting out. They step in to Stazi headquarters. Hey, guys, 190 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: mind if we have a meeting. Yeah, you were doing 191 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: state security before, you need to do a lot more 192 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: of it from this point forward. Let's not have another 193 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: repeat of a million people uprising. So whatever you have 194 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: to do to prevent that from happening again, do it now. 195 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: Pay attention because this applies to how the left thinks 196 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: about you today. If you're the Stasi, the Communist Party 197 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: of East Germany, and you just had a display that 198 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: you didn't like, you can choose one of two directions. 199 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: You can go look at yourself in the mirror and say, 200 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: maybe we need to reform some things so people aren't 201 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: quite so unhappy and aren't quite so violent. Or you 202 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: can go the other direction and say, we clearly just 203 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: need to hurt some people to teach them a lesson. 204 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: You notice what's happening in the capitol right now. You 205 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: have a bubbling over of anger at the Capitol Building. 206 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: What has been the response by the American left, banning 207 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: social media accounts, tens of thousands of them, bringing in 208 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: thirty thousand troops, high fencing around DC and locking down 209 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: the place like it's a maximum security prison. You know what, 210 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: The response hasn't been, not a single person on the 211 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: left stepping up and saying, maybe we called them Nazis 212 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: one too many times, maybe that maybe in a way, 213 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: this is a little bit on us, because communists don't 214 00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: change ever. Ever, East Germany decide the Stasi is going 215 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: to be a lot more aggressive. They began It's hard 216 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: to put it into words because we've never experienced anything 217 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: like it. I've never experienced anything like it. You haven't either. 218 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: They began an information collection thing that I've never I've 219 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: never seen this before, I honestly, and I could I 220 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: could be wrong, So do not take this as gospel. 221 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that KGB went to these lengths of 222 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: information collection. I know they did a ton of it. 223 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: But they immediately build satellites to intercept every radio signal 224 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: coming in. They put up planes along their border, recon 225 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: planes that intercept radio signals, phone signals. They have stations 226 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: built along their border with Western Germany because they're not 227 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: only interested in collecting their own people's information, they're interested 228 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: in collecting all the information from West Germany, who they 229 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: were constantly concerned about. They're eavesdropping on West German calls, 230 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: West German radio signals. The mass collection of information, they 231 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: had an entire system set up to open mail, read mail, 232 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: and then reseal mail so people never knew. They had 233 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: machines designed to do it, wire taps, hidden cameras on 234 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: their own people all over the place, and informants. At 235 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: its height, the Stasi had ninety thousand employees at its height, 236 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: but they had a hundred and eighty thousand informants. And 237 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: when I say informants understand this world, it's just it's 238 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: so evil and sick, it's hard to wrap your mind 239 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: around it. Informants means your wife collecting information on you 240 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: and giving it to the Stazi, your husband collecting information 241 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: on you, your child, your mother, your brother, threatened, bribed, 242 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: beaten into giving up your information to the government that 243 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: wants to oppress you. It was that evil, It was 244 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: that terrible, and it went worse. It actually, and the 245 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: ahead of it by the way, you don't have to 246 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: remember this is a guy named Eric Milka, but he 247 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: was the head of it for virtually its entire existence. 248 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: Dan and Up. He wasn't there in the very beginning. 249 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: They dumped them in the very end. But that's he 250 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: really headed all this. And why why were so many 251 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: people on board? Well, here's part of the reason. Part 252 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: of the reason is it was a really, really, really 253 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: decent life. If you were a member of the Stazi, 254 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: if you could get in, it was a decent life. 255 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: You ate better, the pay was better, the housing was better. 256 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of housing, let's pause on that for a moment. 257 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: While East Germany was drowning in poverty and misery and 258 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: just life sucked because it's under communism, they set up 259 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: something called a forest colony. I believe it's still there 260 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: to this day. Now, that's not what it's called in German. 261 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: In German, I'm not even gonna try to pronounce this 262 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: walled seed lung w a l d sie d l 263 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: u n g. What it was. A forest colony, a 264 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: forest settlement. You know everyone else loves like crap, right, 265 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: is communism. They took this area, this little area, and 266 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: it's about twenty miles north of Berlin, and they set 267 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: up this absolutely stunning little community for the members of 268 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: the Communist Party, for the leadership of the Communist Party. 269 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: You can go look at pictures of it to this 270 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: day if you'd like, and I'm pretty sure it still exists. 271 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: I think they preserved it. But don't quote me on that. 272 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking beautiful homes. If you're a Communist, you know 273 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: you're one of the leaders of the Communist Party, you 274 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: have a beautiful home. They set them up a cinema, 275 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: they set them up a restaurant, a sports complex. While 276 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: everyone else was starving, they had only the best foods, 277 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: specialty chefs brought in. You're living like royalty, and they 278 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: had Stazi guys guarding the place like a fortress. Nobody 279 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: allowed in. You and your family lived like a king. 280 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: And that's just for that's the leadership guys. But other people, 281 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, the ninety thousand people who worked for the Stazi, 282 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: they eat just fine. The lights are on. If you're 283 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: with them, just like the system today. If you're with them, 284 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: life is easier and life is good. If you're against them, 285 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: they will make your life a living hell, a living hell, 286 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: and that that is how you get a husband to 287 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: turn against his own wife, a son to turn against 288 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: his own father. And what do I mean by a 289 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: living Hell? I'm gonna tell you hang on. No word 290 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: in the English language is less convincing than probably. Are 291 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: you sure we should get matching tattoos on our first date? Sure? 292 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: And we'll probably stay together. Probably, it's been twenty three 293 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: minutes since eight I can probably swim. You should wait 294 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Okay, don't tell me what to do? Candid scramp? 295 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: Oh I have a cramp. I can probably hit the 296 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: green from here? Probably? Can I get a Mulligan ready 297 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: to go? Hey? Are you sure you're okay to drive? Yeah? 298 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, 299 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to drinking and driving. If you're drinking, 300 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: call a cab, a car, or a friend. Buzz driving 301 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: is drunk driving. A message brought to you by NITZA 302 00:22:44,440 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: and AD Council. Make some crisis that has been perpetuated, 303 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: in my view, by platforms like the one where you 304 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: used to work, Facebook, as well as Twitter and others. 305 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: It's really hard because what's happening is people are able 306 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: to seek out the information that makes them feel good. 307 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: That is what happenings that people have so much choice now. 308 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: They can choose what their new sources are, they can 309 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: choose what influencers they want to follow, and they can 310 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: try to seal out anything that helps them question that. 311 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: And I think that gets to a really core issue 312 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: with how our freedoms as Americans and the way we 313 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: have treated press freedom in the past is being abused 314 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: by these actors, and that we have given a lot 315 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: of leeway, both in the traditional media and on social 316 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: media to people to have a very broad range of 317 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: political views, and it is now in the great economic 318 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: interest of those individuals to become more and more radical. 319 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: And I think that one of the places you can 320 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: see this is on the fact that you now have 321 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: competitors to Fox News on their right OA and then Newsmax, 322 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: which are carried by all the major cable networks, who 323 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: are trying to now outflank Fox in the right Because 324 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: the moment Fox introduced any kind of realism into their reporting, 325 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: immediately a bunch of people chose to put themselves into 326 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: a sealed ecosystem, and they can do that both on cable, 327 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: they can do it online and that becomes a huge 328 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: challenge of figuring out how do you bring those people 329 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: back into the mainstream of fact based reporting and try 330 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: to get us all back into the same consensual reality 331 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: and ken you is that possible. It seems like that's 332 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: an open question. It's hard. I mean, I think we 333 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: got to do a couple of things. One, there needs 334 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: to be an intentional work by the social media companies 335 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: collaborating together to work on violent extremism in the same 336 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: way they worked on ISIS. When I started at Facebook 337 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, the number one challenge from a content 338 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: perspective was the abuse of social media by the Islamic state, 339 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: and there was a collaboration between the tech companies and 340 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: between the tech companies and law enforcement to make it 341 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: impossible for them to use the internet to re and 342 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: radicalize mostly young musliment at the time around the world. 343 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: Now we're talking about domestic audience in the United States, 344 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: and the challenge is going to be partially that. You know, 345 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: Isis did not have a domestic constituency in the United 346 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: States Congress, but there is over half of the Republicans 347 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: and Congress voted to overturn the election, and there will 348 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: be a continual political pressure on the companies to not 349 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: take it seriously. So I think first you have to 350 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: focus on those violent extremists, and those companies have to 351 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: be brave in that way. And second, we have to 352 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: turn down the capability of these conservative influencers to reach 353 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: these huge audiences. There are people on YouTube, for example, 354 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: that have a larger larger audience than daytime CNN, and 355 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: they are extremely radical and pushing extremely radical views. And 356 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: so it's up to the facebooks and youtubes in particular 357 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: to think about whether or not they want to be 358 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: effectively cable networks for disinformation. And then we're gonna have 359 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: to figure out the o ANN and Newsmax problem. You 360 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: know that these companies have freedom of speech, but I'm 361 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: not sure we need varies an AT and T, Comcast 362 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: and such to be bringing them into tens of millions 363 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: of homes. American communists are not different than communists have 364 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: always been. We'll get to more of that here in 365 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: a few But how bad could it get in East Germany? Well, 366 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 1: remember we talked earlier about the mass collection of information 367 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: right all over the place. Your phone calls, they're listening. 368 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: You're on a radio somewhere. They're listening. You're having a 369 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: private conversation with somebody, even a friend, relative, husband, wife, 370 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: could very well be informing on you to the Stazi. 371 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: And what are they looking for? Understand they're not looking 372 00:26:54,040 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: for just oh well, he's organizing an underground network of 373 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: freedom fighters to fight against US. No. One of the 374 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: main classifications they needed to arrest you was quote malcontents. 375 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: Not only did you have to be part of the 376 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: miserable communist system, you had to be happy about it. 377 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 1: You don't get to march around looking for your job. 378 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: I don't like it that there's not enough food in 379 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: the grocery store. Oh man, this job doesn't pay well enough. 380 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: Oh I didn't you know what. This building's kind of ugly. 381 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: That's the kind of stuff that's enough to get you arrested. 382 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: Now let's talk about the arrest. Remember, they don't want 383 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: it to be obvious what's happening. They don't come and 384 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: stop you in the street for the most part, pull 385 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: you over though you and cuffs take you downtown. That 386 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: would lead people to believe that everything isn't fine. No, 387 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: they come in the middle of the night, the early 388 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: early am. And they're not throwing you in the back 389 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: of a gigantic Stasi police car taking him down to 390 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: a Stazzi jail. Don't worry, no, that throw you in 391 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: the back of a bread truck, a laundry truck with 392 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: no windows on it. They obviously blindfold you, handcuff you. 393 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: They'll drive you around for hours and hours and hours 394 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: in the same town, so you have no idea where 395 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: you are. When they finally get you to the Stazi jails. 396 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: They're gonna get you to the Stazi jails, and then 397 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: they're going to start taking you apart, piece by piece. 398 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: And remember this, they didn't just find out about you 399 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: five minutes ago and then go place handcuffs on you. 400 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: Mass collection of information. What kind of information do people 401 00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: have on you? How's your Google search history? Look your 402 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: social media pages? Anybody out there know anything about you? 403 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: These guys are not haphazardly doing this. When they bring 404 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: you into a Stazzi prison cell, you're always alone, except 405 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: in certain circumstances, in which I'll get to in a minute. 406 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: You're always alone. The cells horrible. Oftentimes there's there's no water, 407 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: there's a bucket in the corner, they would you would 408 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: go months without showering. I apologize for how gross this is, 409 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: but there are stories out there of guys peeing on 410 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: their hands to try to clean themselves. That kind of disgustingness. 411 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: And they have a file on you. They know who 412 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: you are. They know about your wife, your kids, your brother, 413 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: your sister, They know the things you've said in private. 414 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: They know so many things about you, and you don't 415 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: know what they know about you. They know it all, 416 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: and they're coming up with the plan to rip you 417 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: apart physically and mentally, piece by piece so they can 418 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: find out the things they want to find out about. 419 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: They are purposeful about it, very very purposeful. Maybe they 420 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: already know you have a little fear of drowning. Maybe 421 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: you said that to your brother in private conversation out 422 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: back on your patio having a beer in a cigarette 423 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: one day, and maybe there was a wire tap there 424 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: that went in your little file. Maybe they would play 425 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: over the loudspeaker, as they often did, sounds of people 426 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: screaming in pain, just so you could be scared to 427 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: death when they hauled you down for interrogation. Those interrogations 428 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: were beatings, electronic shocks, The worst things you can imagine, 429 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: remember that drowning story at the very beginning, that was real. 430 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: One guy I read about five different times, he was 431 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: placed in a cell standing up. They filled it three 432 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: quarters full of water, a water sealed cell in the 433 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: pitch black, with only his head above the water. You 434 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: can't sit, you can't kneel, you can't lay down, or 435 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: you will drown. And left him in there for three 436 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: days at a time. How much can your mind take 437 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: before it's gone? Before it's gone? The women, female prisoners 438 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: were subject to a lot of other kinds of abuse 439 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: that I obviously don't have to go into. It's just 440 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: it's always worse for women, sadly, it's terrible. And that 441 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: was that was the overt stuff. They would do something 442 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: else when they started to try to move away from 443 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: killing and torturing all their prisoners. You see, Oh, I 444 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: forgot to mention the killing. You know how you would 445 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: be executed often in a Stasi prison. They would put 446 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: you in a little cell with the toilet and tell 447 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: you to write a final letter to somebody. Then they 448 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: would take your final letter. Oh it wasn't to mail out. 449 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: They just wanted one more list of your final thoughts. 450 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: And the people you were writing too. They led you 451 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: to another room that had some weird shape to it, 452 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: and as you looked around trying to get your bearings, 453 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: they shot you in the back of the head. Now 454 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: you want to know how much worse it gets outside 455 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: of prison, I'm about to tell you, and it is sad. 456 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: And then we'll wrap this up, maybe even talk about 457 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: some hot pockets.

We're gonna talk about 472 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: the treason and sedition I have found right here in 473 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: the United States of America. Here in a second, Jewish 474 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: producer Chris has kindly asked as he cringes, that I 475 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: stopped talking about drowning cells and electric shock and pulled 476 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: out fingernails. I do want to clarify what these people 477 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: would do though. This was one guy's story I read 478 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: after he'd been imprisoned. He had tried to escape, he 479 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: after he'd bid in prison. They got him, tortured him, 480 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: met his life miserable. They then let him out because 481 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: there was some pressure on them from other countries to 482 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: let him out. They let him out, and he was 483 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: still an unhappy person. Remember, malcontent is something you weren't 484 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: allowed to be. Had a beautiful wife and daughter, so 485 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: they didn't arrest him again. Was a news story, international 486 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: news story. They just simply showed up in the middle 487 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: of the night and arrested his wife, and she had 488 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: a very rough time in prison. She was a beautiful woman. 489 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: Like I said. The guards abused her, and they also 490 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,760 Speaker 1: took away his daughter and arrested her too and abused her. Finally, 491 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: they let his wife out of prison, and this beautiful, smart, 492 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: loving woman was so broken mentally she spent the rest 493 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: of her days in a mental hospital. By the time 494 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: they let his daughter out of prison, she hated her 495 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: father because they had brutalized her so badly, and made 496 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,240 Speaker 1: sure she blamed him that she never spoke to him again. 497 00:35:54,120 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: Communists are evil. I cannot possibly stress this enough. Communism 498 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: is the most evil thing on the planet. And you 499 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: had better fight until you die to avoid living underneath it. 500 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: Many people have before, and anybody who's ever lived underneath 501 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: it will echo those words. Communism is evil. And you 502 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: know what they would do when they stopped the torturing 503 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: and murder, Because it wasn't all torturing and murder. They 504 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: did something called disintegration. What was disintegration? It went from 505 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: kind of humorously odd to absolutely horrible. You see, if 506 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: they couldn't throw you in a jail cell and pull 507 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: your fingernails out. Because the world was starting to watch it. 508 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,720 Speaker 1: As we started to move into the seventies and eighties, 509 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 1: the world was really starting to watch East Germany wanted 510 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: to be considered legitimate. The rest of the world's all, yeah, well, 511 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 1: could you stop hooking car batteries up to people then, 512 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: so they would do something really mild, like deflate your 513 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,439 Speaker 1: bike tires. Every single day you'd come out to ride 514 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: your bike to work and they had deflated your bike tires. 515 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: They would fill up your mailbox every day with pornography, 516 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: just a weird way to mess with your mind. They 517 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: would find ways to ruin your career. They would begin 518 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: to threaten your boss, talk to your boss. Soon you 519 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: go from being an outstanding employee to you're fired. They 520 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,439 Speaker 1: would worm their way into your wife. They would find 521 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 1: a way to have her start to dislike you, fill 522 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: her mind up with certain things, accuse you of certain things. Lie. 523 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: They would break into your apartment when they knew everybody 524 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,760 Speaker 1: was gone, and simply move everything in your apartment around, 525 00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: just to mess with your mind and let you know 526 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: people had been there. Called disintegration. And remember they would 527 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: do this PreCrime, not postcrime. If they even thought you 528 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: were going to be guilty of something, they would come 529 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: after you. They had their own prison set up bouts 530 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: in two what was called it was a special Stasi prison, 531 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: lock you away in the dark forever. They had secret 532 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: bunkers all across the country with hidden doors. They still exist. 533 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: I kind of want to go see them. They still 534 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: exist in case there was another uprising in a place 535 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: where the communists could hide if the people rose up. 536 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: This went on for decades. People lived like this for decades. 537 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 1: There are people alive today still talking about what it 538 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: was like to live under this living hell. And these 539 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: people who are alive today, they're all over there on video. 540 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: You can find audio of them screaming about don't let 541 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: it happen again. You don't know what it's like, the 542 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: utter misery of your life. The Stasi even controlled things 543 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: like the economy because communism it all sucks. Everything sucks. 544 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: So there'd be a black market for everything even and 545 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: I know it just means like drugs, TVs, food, basic necessities, 546 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: and they would find people shipping these things in and 547 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: kill them. I cannot possibly stress enough to you. All 548 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna take away from today is this. You don't 549 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: want to see this in its final form. You do 550 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,280 Speaker 1: not want to live like this. You see these videos 551 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: and the way people cry, and the way they pour 552 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: their hearts out, and the way they almost always almost universally, 553 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 1: when they tell their stories there they make sure they 554 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: give a warning, don't let it happen. Do anything you 555 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: can do. Not it happened. If it happens, your life 556 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: is over. Don't let it happen. We really, really really 557 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: have to make sure that doesn't happen here, all right, 558 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:21,359 Speaker 1: Treason and sedition and hot pockets hang on. You don't 559 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: have to dip forever. You know that, Ryan. You don't 560 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: have to smoke forever. And the reason I say it 561 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: like that is I have been that guy. I've been 562 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: that guy. I dipped for so long. And what would 563 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: happen is I would decide I'm gonna quit. It's bad 564 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna quit. I'm a man, I don't 565 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 1: need any help. I'm just gonna quit cold turkey. And 566 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: I would fail time and time and time again.
