Speaker 1: San Diego, and Buck and I have worked together all

Speaker 1: again and fill in for him again today. I want

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: to start with this. I know Bucks talked about this

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: a lot, and I just want to drive this point

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: home and start the show here and say at the

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: stage for the day, I want to talk about moral

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: courage now badly we need it because there are moral

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: imperialists out there and conservatives Christians in particular, the conservatives

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: have caved for far too long. Let me back it

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: up here, so out of nowhere. After you want in

22
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: a while the New York Times will publish a story

23
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: about polyamory. Right, everyone's in a while, there's a story

24
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: about polyamory. So here here's one. Just the other day,

25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: the polyparent households are coming, Like what polyamory would be

26
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: like your thrufle Right, it's like three or more people

27
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: get married all together and whatnot? Right, You're like, why

28
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: are you publishing us? But it happens all the time,

29
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: so ye've just rolled through these are These are all

30
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: New York Times headlines the challenges polyamorous parenting. First, try

31
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: the pastronomy, then the polyamory. Happily ever open is an

32
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: open marriage a happier marriage. I got more dating experts

33
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: explain polyamory and open relationships. My daughter's dating a polyamorous woman.

34
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: But that's not the problem. The challenges of polyamory hopelessly

35
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: devoted to you, you and you, and it goes on

36
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: and on like this. It's all New York Times stars, Like,

37
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: what in the world these people are pushing something on?

38
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: It is just one of many, many examples, right, But

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: they're pushing things on either throwing it out there, trying

40
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: to move the Overton window of acceptability just a little

41
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: bit in the left direction, trying to normalize things a

42
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: little bit, breakdown some traditional norms. Who are you to

43
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: say that polyamory is bad? Who are you to say, sure,

44
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: you've never heard of it until this article here, But

45
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna be sure of shove it in your face

46
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: as much as we can until you think it's normal,

47
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: or at least until you can say, well, you know,

48
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's just another lifestyle choice, is all. This is

49
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: how the left does it. This is how the moral

50
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: imperialists do it, which I'll define in a second. They

51
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: throw something out there, something ridiculous like this, and they say, oh,

52
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: you can't judge, right, So they weaponize a scripture taken

53
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: out of context against you because they know it'll work

54
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: against you. Right Christians in particular, they say, oh, you

55
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: can't judge, who are you to judge? Then you have

56
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: to be tolerant of it. Then you have to accept it.

57
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Then you must declare that it is good. That's the

58
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: final step. You must declare it is good. That is

59
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: the digression of everything. And it's the craziest thing. It

60
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: goes slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly than Bam, California, two thousand

61
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: and eight California had a statewide ballot measure is Proper

62
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: that defined marriage between a man and a woman, and

63
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: it passed forty two or is fifty two to forty eight.

64
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Fifty two in California defined a marriage as a man

65
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: and a woman. That was only twelve years ago. So

66
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: it's recently as two thousand and eight, game gay marriage

67
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: wasn't accepted in California and now it's game bonummies Rights'

68
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: is like no, no, no no, And then obviously everyone

69
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: must you're celebrating, right, marijuana legalization, whatever you think about it.

70
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: The point is no, no, no, no no. And now

71
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: it's an essential service. So whe for being illegal like

72
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: two years ago, so now it's an essential service. Boom,

73
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: Just like that. And with all the social issues, in particular,

74
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: conservatives cave because they're so scared, and in particular they're

75
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: scared of being called a bigot. You know, racism is

76
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: quite a charge, right, but I think bigott is even worse.

77
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that people are most scared

78
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: of being called. Support gay marriage, bigott, support abortion, bigot,

79
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: be an anti racist, and bigott vote for Kamala Harris. Bigot.

80
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: You're always a bigot. We're so scared of being called

81
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: a bigot. We just came and then the left takes

82
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 1: that moral high ground. We had the moral high ground.

83
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: You had the moral high ground, and we ran away.

84
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: We fell in the fetal position. We know what do

85
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: we called a biggot and these people took it all right.

86
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: That was all my intro to this club. This is

87
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: Darren Beatty's from the Claremont Institute. He was a speechwriter

88
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: for Trump for a period of time, but here he

89
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: is speaking of this. Because the Republicans are so obsessed

90
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: with proving they're not racist, and racist is a term

91
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: owned and controlled by the left, they will never have

92
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: the moral high ground. And moral imperialism always beats individual indifference.

93
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is this put juxtapose

94
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: the slogan silences violence with don't tread on me. Silence

95
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: is violence is morally imperialistic, and it will always beat

96
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: don't tread on me. And it registers the fact that

97
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: the Left, for all its faults, has the moral high ground,

98
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: and that's why they win. And so until Republicans can

99
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: be just as confident in being protectors of civilization against

100
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: barbarism and destruction and defend civilization as such with the

101
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: same kind of moral fervor that the left attempts to

102
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: tear it down with words like racism. Until they're prepared

103
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: to do that, they will lose love that line. Moral

104
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: imperialism will always beat moral indifference, and it will certainly

105
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: always beat moral cowardice, no no doubt about that. So

106
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: what is moral imperialism? Before I define it, I'll show

107
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: it to you. So this was this weekend in Washington,

108
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: d C. There's a group of maybe like two hundred

109
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: or so protesters. They went to a restaurant and everyone

110
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: was out and sitting on the front of the restaurant outside,

111
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: and these protesters all stood directly around everyone and circled

112
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: everyone with giant signs and everything, And uh, did this

113
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: black people are signing? Believe it at the time that

114
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: you are signing at the time that I ask you

115
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: that you clar loyalty if you believe you'll be a

116
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter black And I want to repeat this,

117
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: if you believe, because you just wope you truly believe

118
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: that you love black people, I asked you to raise

119
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: your fist up in the air and look around you.

120
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: The people that have not raised their fist and ask

121
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: the question, the question why don't you afford to stand?

122
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: And neither Glandstad be raised. It's stidy, and still you

123
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: can still be a Becky and there'll still be a

124
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: Becky live off the live off, and that that's a

125
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: black and brown people, okay, goes on there forever, and

126
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: everyone at the restaurant all white people. That everyone at

127
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: the restaurant raises their fist in the air and repeats

128
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: after that guy, now what they're saying. I we don't

129
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: time to talk about what they're saying. It's like it's

130
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: all nonsense. I'm not gonna argue against what they're saying.

131
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: I want to talk out the tactic. They can do that, right,

132
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: They could go to a restaurant and shut it down

133
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: and shame everyone into throwing the black power fist in

134
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: the air. They can pull that stunt because they are

135
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: moral imperialists the left. They're not punished for looting or

136
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: vandalism or assault or actual crimes, so they're certainly not

137
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: going to get in trouble for stuff like this because

138
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: they have well, they act like they have the moral

139
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: high ground. We act like they have the moral high ground.

140
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: We let them act like they have the moral high

141
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: ground because they're the moral imperialists. It's an actual term.

142
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: It's not a made up term. It's existed for a

143
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: long time, and like geopolitical studies, it's defined as a

144
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: moral imperialist is the imposition of a set of moral

145
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: values onto a culture that does not share those values,

146
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: either through force or through cultural criticism. Let me I

147
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: take a breakare I want to come back. I want

148
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: to give you an example from yesterday of this inaction politically.

149
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: Let's do that next. Mike Slater filling in for the

150
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Great Buck Sextence. Bro the word you're in the freedom, hud.

151
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Stop Freedom. Mike

152
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: Slater filling in for the Great Buck Sexton. Let let

153
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: me keep this party going here. So we're talking about

154
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: moral imperialists and how they will always be some moral

155
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: indifference always caves to moral imperialism. This is Darren Beatty.

156
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: One more clip from him, and having the moral high

157
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: ground gives you the confidence to hold frame in a discussion.

158
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: If you'll allow me, I'd like to kind of reformulate

159
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,479
Speaker 1: what I mean by this. There's a lot of conservatives

160
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: have this idea of we're the responsible adults and the

161
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: left or these misguided children, but they're misguided on the

162
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: basis of more or less just principles, equality and so forth.

163
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: And as long as you have this idea that we're

164
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: the responsible adults, but they are the irresponsible children, but

165
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: animated by a just moral principle, again, you will always

166
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:22,479
Speaker 1: lose because the moral indifference always caves to moral imperialism

167
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: and moral fervor. And the right, not just the right,

168
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: really just any American who looks at what's happening is

169
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: disgusted by it needs to fortify themselves with this sense

170
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: of moral fervor that what's happening is wrong, and not

171
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: only just going to sit back and say it's wrong,

172
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: but you are going to defend against it with the

173
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: same kind of conviction, the same kind of fervor, the

174
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: same kind of aggressiveness and even imperialism that the left

175
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: uses to destroy everything that is just and beautiful and elevated.

176
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: Give me an example, we'll see if you are morally

177
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: indifferent to this or not. State Senator from San Francisco,

178
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: SO State, So California State Senator San Francisco Scott Wiener.

179
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: He would change the sex offender registration laws. Okay, so

180
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: that's what this bill would do. So, when this law passes,

181
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: if a teenager fourteen to seventeen has sex with an

182
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: adult who is ten years older or less. So if

183
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old has sex with a twenty four

184
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: year old, let me flip around. If a twenty four

185
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: year old has sex with a fourteen year old, or

186
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: a twenty seven year old has sex with a seventeen

187
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: year old, for instance, that adult is not automatically going

188
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: to be put on the sex offender registry list. So

189
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: this is to protect gay people who are having sex

190
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: with underage miners. Now, the headline in the San Francisco

191
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: Chronicle said, bill ames to fix sex offender lists inequity

192
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: toward gay men. So if you are morally opposed to

193
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven year olds having sex with seventeen year old

194
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: or twenty four year olds having sex with fourteen year

195
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: old boys, if you're morally opposed to that, well what

196
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: are you? Who are you? Who are you some sort

197
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: of bigot? It's just inequalities. He's just fighting for equality.

198
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: Don't you like equality? Are you again? Oh you're you're

199
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: a homophobe. Wow? He literally think I state Senator Wiener.

200
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: He literally said, this is such horrific homophobia. So you're

201
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: a homophobe, you're a bigot. You have to support this

202
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: bill in the name of equality. See how they do it.

203
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: That's moral imperialism, imposition of a set of morals onto

204
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: a culture that do not share those values, either through

205
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: force or through cultural criticism. That's what this is is shaming.

206
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: I want to read this from a writer at Revolver.

207
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: He said, today's left is not well intentioned. And this

208
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: goes back to what Darren Beady said that the people

209
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: these the people on the left, they're not animated by

210
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: a just moral principle. Today's left is not well intentioned.

211
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: They are merely they are not merely misguided in the

212
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: pursuit of moral good. Today's left pursues moral evils, and

213
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: they're not shy in telling you this. They deny any

214
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: difference between men and women. They want you to mutilate

215
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: your children if they deviate from predefined personality types. They

216
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: attack marriage and the family and celebrate deviancy in child views.

217
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: They reject justice and accountability and blame or exonerate based

218
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: on group affiliation. They say they attack the successful and

219
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: celebrate the violence. The left seeks to upend traditional morality

220
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: and replace it with social justice in order to indict

221
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: American society a structurally racist and the American people as

222
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: hopelessly racist merely by the fact that they live in

223
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: such a society. So rickey, what do you do? Can't

224
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: just get angry? What do you do? Then? The most

225
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: important thing is to not let people get away with lies,

226
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: and don't give people an inch of untruthful ground. And

227
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: don't give them an inch. Don't let them manipulate you

228
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: at all. Don't meaning, don't use their language. You can't

229
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: even say things like, oh, yeah, of course black lives matter,

230
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: but i'm again, or I'm a gay of course, but

231
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm against the Marxist group. Now you can't even do that.

232
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: You can't even use your their language because they've already won.

233
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Don't give them an inch. You must speak the truth.

234
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't be rude for rude's sake, don't be obscene

235
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: for obscenity sake. Of course, be calm, confident and truthful always.

236
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: The other day on my TV show, Buck and I

237
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: both have TV shows. On the first. The other day,

238
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm like Tuesday, ye think. I taught to Professor Princeton,

239
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: a math professor, and he wrote a piece on quiette

240
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: It was called how to Fight the Enemies of Academic Freedom,

241
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: And this last paragraph is so good. He says he's

242
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: from Romani. He grew up in communist Romania, so he knows.

243
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: He said, above all, we have to stop being frightened,

244
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: intimidated and afraid to fight back. Stop being frightened and

245
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: intimidated and afraid. So I love, among other reasons, that's

246
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: why I love Pastor John MacArthur Grace Community Church, LA.

247
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: He's not afraid to offend in the name of truth,

248
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: and he's not trying to offend. That's not the not

249
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: trying to offend people I don't I don't like flamethrowers,

250
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: no time for that. But people who boldly confidently stand

251
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: up for the truth. You have to respect that. And

252
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: we need way more of that. Stop. We need to

253
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: stop acting like these people. These moral imperialists are good

254
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: and just and have a proper moral aim, or maybe

255
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: they're just a slightly misguided. No, they are wrong. They're

256
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: morally wrong, and don't let them flip around on you,

257
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: and don't be scared to stand out for the truth

258
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: because you may be called a bigot, you're not. And

259
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: when you're courageous, other people will be courageous too. I

260
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: promise you that it is infectious. Everyone is so cowardly

261
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: right now looking around waiting for someone to stand up.

262
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Don't give them an inch. Be courageous. Others will join you,

263
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: I promise. Mike Slater filling it for Buck Sexton. Let

264
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: me come back the math professor of Princeton. He mentioned Sultanitskin,

265
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: Alexander Sultsanitskin, and I think it's worth speaking to him

266
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: to to see how this can be done properly. So

267
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: we'll tell we'll tell a little bit of his story

268
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: coming up, Max Myke Slader filling in it for Buck

269
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Sexton's brother the Word. Thanks for listening. To remember to

270
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeart Radio app for wherever

271
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,239
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. It's going on Freedom Hunt. Mike

272
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: Slader filling in for the great Buck Sexton. I know

273
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: you're disappointed, but listen, the other day you got Attorney

274
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: General bar all right, so that's awesome, and today me

275
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: but it evens out, it evens out, so do we can't.

276
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: Buck will be back on Monday. So the question is

277
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: we're just talking about moral imperialism and moral cowardice or

278
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: moral indust So you have moral imperialism on one side, right,

279
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: they have the fervor. They take over the moral high

280
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: ground and the rest of us are moral cowards or

281
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: morally indifferent and we just let him have it that

282
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: high ground, and we need to we need to stop

283
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: doing that. So the question is how long will we

284
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: allow the moral imperialists to take over before we finally

285
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: say no more. No one's willing to defend our statues. Right,

286
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: so we know that, Okay, that's so, okay, good or terrible,

287
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: But okay, the left, the far left, has marched through

288
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: every institution there is. I truly believe that Am talk

289
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: radio is the only aspect of popular culture that's not

290
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: completely controlled by the left. Is that right? You think

291
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: of anything any aspect of pop culture. I mean you

292
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: would say, you'd say Nascar would be one. I would

293
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: be like, no, I don't know if that's true. Sports

294
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: like the ultimate meritocracy. But that's not true. What's left?

295
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's Am talk rad I think

296
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: you're here, this is it. Yeah, there's pockets on the internet,

297
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: that are conservative, but I mean, the Internet's controlled by

298
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: Google real, so there's a bit of an aside. But

299
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: when Trump wins again in two and a half months,

300
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: I think the first thing the left is going to

301
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: do is blame the tech companies for allowing Trump and

302
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: therefore conservatives to have a platform. They're gonna blame Facebook,

303
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna blame Twitter for allowing Trump to spew his racist,

304
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: vial rhetoric for the last four years. And these tech

305
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: companies are going to be pressured to d platform the

306
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: president and then other conservatives with him, and that really,

307
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: I think our days are numbered on the Internet. I

308
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: know that sounds dramatic, but I think it's true. It's

309
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: just a couple of months ago, was like last month.

310
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: I think the biggest brands in America the Coca Cola,

311
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: You and a Lever, Microsoft, Verizon, Samsung, like the Best Buy,

312
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: like these, the biggest companies in America stopped advertising with

313
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: Facebook until Facebook does more to stop the circulation of

314
00:20:54,440 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: hate speech. Well, what's hate speech? Surely the first half

315
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: hour of this shows they hate speech by their standards

316
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: right to them. Every single day. Buck comes right here

317
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: and just hurls vile hate speech all day, all right,

318
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: I mean you don't you don't think these tech companies everybody,

319
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: you don't think they're gonna take down Buck. Of course

320
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: they will. When Trump wins. This will be the first

321
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: thing they do in their freak out. How much will

322
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: conservatives allow? That's the question before we say no more?

323
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: And I know I just mentioned John MacArthur, but I

324
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: know John macarthurs as referred to as just how amazed

325
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: really we all should be at that? So many Christians

326
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: across the country have said, Okay, no more church. That's fine.

327
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, please let me know when, I when when

328
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: you will allow me to go back to church? Right?

329
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: What is that cheez? That was easy to break up

330
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: churches in America? That's all that took. It's pretty lukewarm.

331
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: So the question is how much will we left the

332
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: left chisel away at America before we say no more

333
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: once and for all. So this is an essay from

334
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: Alexander Sultanizkin and the Soviet Union nineteen seventy four. Sultan

335
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: Nitskin lived quite a life front lines for the Soviet

336
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: Army against the Nazis, then was put away in a gulag.

337
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: I got cancer there and then. I don't say single handedly,

338
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of forces at play, but

339
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: one of the most pivotal people in tearing down the

340
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: Soviet Union. Intellectually, it's amazing, amazing life. But anyway, so

341
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: this is nineteen seventy four. This is dated the same

342
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: day that the Secret police broke in and record department

343
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: and arrested him. So this was circulated around Moscow's intellectual circles.

344
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: And there's some pretty amazing lines here. Let me just

345
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: rea a few of them. He said, things have almost

346
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: reached rock bottom. A universal spiritual death has already touched

347
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: us all, and physical death will soon flare up and

348
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: consume us both and our children. But as before, we

349
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 1: are still smile in a cowardly way and mumble without

350
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: tongues tied. I love that we smile in a cowardly

351
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: way and mumble without our tongues even being tied. We've

352
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: been so helplessly, hopelessly dehumanized that simply for today's modest

353
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: ration of food, we are willing to abandon all of

354
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: our principles, our souls, and all the efforts of our predecessors,

355
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: and all opportunities for our descendants. But just don't disturb

356
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: our fragile existence. Right first, So in this case modest

357
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: ration of food. But what are you willing to or

358
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: you're willing to abandon our principle? People in America, not you,

359
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: you're here. People in America are willing to abandon our principles,

360
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: our soul, everything our predecessors have done in all opportunities

361
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: for our future, our kids and grandkids. For what. In

362
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: Sultaniskin's case, it was people from Solve Union for a

363
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: modest ration of food. What are we willing for our houses,

364
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: big houses, steady income? What he says, we lack, staunching

365
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: his pride and enthusiasm, we can see that the young

366
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: and presumptuous people who thought they would make our country

367
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: just and happy through terror, bloody revolution in civil war

368
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: were themselves misled. The same thing today. But these people

369
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: who like, oh yeah, utopia, it's just getting rid of

370
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: one one bad person away from getting that utopia that

371
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: we dream of. So Sultaniska said, you got to stand

372
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: up to the lies. He said, when people renounce lies,

373
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: it cuts short their existence of the lie, like an infection.

374
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: Lies can exist only in living organism that's so good,

375
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: and in COVID time. Right, it makes sense. A virus

376
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: can't replicate itself. It needs to infect a cell in

377
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: order and to take over the cell, and then the

378
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: cell makes more of the virus. But you put a

379
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: cell in a put traditional stay there forever. It won't

380
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: replicate itself. It has to take over the host and

381
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: then trick the host into making more of it. And

382
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with a lie. Renounce it, it

383
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: kills it. A lie can only exist in a living organism.

384
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: So then Sultaniskan has a list of things that that

385
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: you should refuse to do. He said, I will not

386
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: henceforth right to sign or print in any way a

387
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: single phrase which distorts the truth, will not cite out

388
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: of context a single quotation so as to please someone,

389
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: or to feather his own nest, or to achieve success

390
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: in his work. Will not subscribe to or buy a

391
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: newspaper or magazine in which information is distorted in primary

392
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: facts or can sealed. And he said some at first

393
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: will lose their jobs. And for young people who want

394
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: to live with truth, this will in the beginning complicate

395
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: their young lives very much, because the required recitations are

396
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: stuffed with lies and it's necessary to make a choice.

397
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: If not, let him say to himself, I am in

398
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: the herd and a coward. It's all the same to

399
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: me as long as I'm fed and warm. If you're

400
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: not going to do these things that require moral courage,

401
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: if you're not gonna have it, it's fine. Just say

402
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: to yourself, I'm in the herd and a coward, and

403
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: it's all the same to me as long as I'm

404
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: fed and warm. Just admit it. So what's enough? I

405
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: don't know. We just keep doing this stuff, right, Like,

406
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: remember a couple months ago, drag Queen Story Hour was

407
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: a thing, and it was everywhere. It's all over the place,

408
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: and no one really stopped him. These moral imperialists took

409
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: the took the moral from us, and they said, oh,

410
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: drag Queen Story Hour. That's good, that's a good, important thing.

411
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: Bring your kids. Remember that was right before COVID, right,

412
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it'll be one of the first things

413
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: they bring back. Drag queens will come into libraries and

414
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: read the little kids. And some were sure to do

415
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: a little drag show for the gleeful audience as well.

416
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: And if you were against it, what were you called?

417
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: How much more ground. Are we gonna let these moral

418
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: imperialists take? Mikes later filing it for Buck Sexton, spread

419
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: the word you're in the freedom Hunt. This is the

420
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. It's going on Freedom Hunt. Mikes

421
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: later filling it for Buck Sexton. Uh, I know Bucks

422
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: mentioned this before. The long March through the institutions. I

423
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: want to give an example here of well, the moral

424
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: imperialists deconstructing something that's a Marxist term. We're gonna de

425
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: instruct a thing, redefine its meaning, and build it back

426
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: up together up into something that's completely different than what

427
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: it was before, and people will go it went along

428
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: with it, except for the morally courageous view. So the

429
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: march through the institution. So Louis out to sea. He's

430
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: the most relevant guy through this. He was a French

431
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: Marxist in the fifties. In nineteen eighty he strangled his

432
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: wife to death. Aside there, but so he broke down

433
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: society into two different entities. There was the repressive state apparatus,

434
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: as he called it, the repressive state apparatus that was

435
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: the police in the military. And then you had the

436
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: ideological state apparatus, and it was that that that that

437
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: was going to bring in the Marxist revolution. Karl Marks

438
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: always thought there was gonna be a Marxist revolution around

439
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: every corner, had it never happened, And then at Grahamstreet

440
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: in the twenties, thought it was gonna happen. It never happened,

441
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: and it just kept never happened. It never happened, It

442
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: never happening. So so this guy out out, Yeah, he said, no,

443
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna make it happen by marching through the institutions.

444
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take over the institutions from within. And

445
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: he defined the ideological state apparatus is as the church,

446
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: the education system, family, the legal system, the political system,

447
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: but mostly regional like local and regionals like school boards,

448
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: trade unions, the press, television, literature, arts, and sports. He

449
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: even put sports down. And we've seen the left has

450
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: taken over every single one of those, have they not?

451
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: How they do it well? They acted like moral imperialists,

452
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: and we acted like cowards. But not anymore. That's my

453
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: encouragement here not to yeah, be mean to us, to me,

454
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: I've been, I'm part of that. I'm done, I'm some

455
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: over it. Not being a coward anymore. Reminded me of

456
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: this chapter from US book Bonhofferum, what's it calls by Mataxes.

457
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: It's like soviets Eric pastor Bonhoffer pastor martyr, prophet, spy.

458
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: Good book Eric Metaxes, A good book about about an

459
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: amazing man. So bon Hoffer was a Lutheran pastor in

460
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: Germany during Hitler's day. He was obviously against the Nazis.

461
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: He was arrested, sent to a prison camp because he

462
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 1: dare speech that maybe we shouldn't systematically murder all the Jews.

463
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: And he was hanged right before the war ended. It

464
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 1: was like two and a half weeks before Hitler killed himself.

465
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: He was hanged bon Hoffer. So there's a chapter in

466
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: this book about what the Nazis did to the church

467
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: and how they deconstructed it and disrupted it, as the

468
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: term we hear today, so obviously. So there was a

469
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: Swiss theologians name was Karl Barth and he said that

470
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: Christianity was separated as an abyss from the inherent godlessness

471
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: of national socialism, all right, so it could not be

472
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: further from each other. But the Nazis tried really hard

473
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 1: to make them compatible. So how'd they do that. Well,

474
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: they just redefined things here and there, little things, simple things,

475
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: seemingly unimportant things. So the first thing they did is

476
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: they said, well, Christianity is the polar opposite of Judaism,

477
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: and Jesus was the perfect anti Semite, and the Old

478
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: Testament had to go way too Jewish, and they demeaned

479
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: the people in it. They claimed that Moses married a

480
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: Negro woman, so they canceled Moses, and scriptures were changed,

481
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: just a couple of words here and there at first, right,

482
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: So Matthew twenty one about where Jesus flips over the

483
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: tables and he says, my house will be called a

484
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: house of prayer, but you're making it a den of thieves.

485
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: The German Christians, that was the name, that was their

486
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: official name of German Christians. They changed it. They changed

487
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: den of thieves, the German word of for department store,

488
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: which were almost all owned by Jews. Hit They're called Jesus,

489
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: our greatest Aryan hero. He was Jewish, by the way,

490
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: our greatest Aryan hero. And they got rid of all

491
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: the Hebrew terms like Jehovah, hallelujah, Josanna. I got rid

492
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: of all that. Jerusalem was changed to heavenly abode in hymns.

493
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: They changed the hymns like cedars. The cedars of Lebanon

494
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: was changed to the furs of the German forest. And

495
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: I bring these up because people as this was happening,

496
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: Christians thought, oh, nobody deal, this is the word here

497
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: or there, like, what's the what's the difference, what's the

498
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: difference cedars of Lebanon, furs of the German force. Okay, sure,

499
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: denn of thieves department store though that I mean, that's yeah,

500
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: I can see it. I can see it. This is

501
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: no problem. And then just got worse and worse, obviously

502
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: in a very postmoderny way. The leaders of the German Christians,

503
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: they said, you know what, Jesus never wrote anything down himself,

504
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: so we should move beyond the written word entirely. The

505
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: line was a demon always resides in the written word,

506
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: so now there's nothing. So now they can just turn

507
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: Christianity into whatever they want completely right. There's no more

508
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: written word anyway, there's no Bible now. The baptism was

509
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: changed from into the body of Christ into the community

510
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: of the Volk. The people. Communion went from you know,

511
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: the bread and juice no longer represented the body and

512
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: blood of Jesus, but instead it was the body of

513
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: the earth, firm and strong, remains true to the German soil.

514
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: And the wine was the blood of the earth, so

515
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: blatant paganism. And then it wasn't long before Jesus had

516
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: to go because Jesus preached love and grace and forgiveness

517
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: and repentance, things that were not not really high up

518
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: on the Nazis but prayer list. So Jesus had to go.

519
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: And another thing that's amazing about this, sin had to

520
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: Jesus had to go because Jesus talked about sin. Here's

521
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: the leader of the Christian German Christians, a people who

522
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: like our own, had a war behind them that they

523
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: did not want, that they lost and for which they

524
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: were declared guilty, cannot bear it when their sinfulness has

525
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: constantly pointed out to him in an exaggerated way. Our

526
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,479
Speaker 1: people have suffered so much under the lie of war

527
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: guilt that it is the duty of the Church and

528
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: of theology to use Christianity to give courage to our

529
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: people and to not pull down into political humiliation. So

530
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: now the Germans, they don't Germans don't sin. It was

531
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: too mean to talk about sin. The Bible talks about sin.

532
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: You can't have that. It's mean, it's hurt. Haven't the

533
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: German people been victimized enough because of World War One?

534
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: So sin's gone. There's more, But do you see it?

535
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: You see the digression, So a little bit it gets in,

536
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: Devil gets a foothold and gets worse and worse starts out,

537
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: why we're just going to change the word to denif

538
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: thieves and department store. And then they start they don't

539
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: use those Hebrew words, and then they get rid of

540
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: the Old Testament, and then they cancel Moses and before

541
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: you know it, Jesus has completely gone. Germans can't sin,

542
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: and the Bible justifies genocide. Do not give an inch

543
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: of the truth. Mike Slader filling in for Buck Sexton's

Speaker 1: back here in the Freedom Hut. Filling in for Buck Sexton.

549
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: He will be back on Monday. My name's Mike Slater,

550
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: Live out in San Diego and love Buck. Been a

551
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: fan of Buck forever. We've worked together forever, and awesome

552
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: to be here. I want us talk about this here

553
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: for the hour. Read this article from Scott Barry Kaufman

554
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: and Scientific American. It's about people who have a, in

555
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: his words, a tendency for interpersonal victimhood. Raise your hand

556
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: if you know that person. There's a couple aspects of this.

557
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: First is, this person is constantly seeking recognition for one's victimhood.

558
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: They lack empathy for the pain and suffering of others,

559
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: so they're narcissistic. They're frequently ruminating about past victimization, things

560
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: that have happened to them years and years ago. But

561
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: the one I want to focus on here is moral

562
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: elitism is another part of it. They have a moral elitism.

563
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: Quoting Kaufman, he said, they perceive themselves as having an

564
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: immaculate morality and view everyone else as being immoral, when

565
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: the truth is almost all these people doing the riding

566
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: and the whining and all the rest, there are no

567
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: position to be lecturing anyone else. The other day I

568
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: picked up Jordan Peterson's Twelve Rules for Life. Have you

569
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: read it yet? It came out a couple of years ago.

570
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: It's I got my book shelf here all books, but

571
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: in the in the living room a couple of books

572
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: I got there, and this one's been sitting there for

573
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: two years since I last read it. I just walked

574
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: by it. Finally I saw it. I was like, oh,

575
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: pick it up. So I picked it up and opened

576
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: up to chapter six. Rule six, set your house in

577
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: perfect order before you criticize the world. Gosh, how perfect

578
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: is that today? Set your house in perfect order before

579
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: you criticize the world. So he starts off withoud be

580
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: extreme right, school shooters, mass shooters. This is an extreme example, right,

581
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: But these people who they feel so angry and so

582
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: bitter to the world that they take the ultimate judgment

583
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: of humanity into their hands and they kill people. And

584
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be surprised by this. The first two sons

585
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: of Adam and heave Kane murdered Abel. Not a great

586
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: start to the whole like humanity thing. And this wasn't

587
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: just murder of someone who was innocent. This was murder

588
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: of someone who was ideal and good. And we have

589
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: the same thing happening today. There's people who really think

590
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: that we can bring about utopia on earth if we

591
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: create the right institutions. Now, to create the right institutions,

592
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: you got to kick the bad people out. You got

593
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: to cancel them, the racists. Gotta get rid of the amble.

594
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: Who's racist everyone? Then we'll have that utopia. And you

595
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 1: think you're like, geez, does no one? No one sees

596
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: how's this has been dried before and it went poorly.

597
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: People they may read history, but well, Jordan Peterson says, people,

598
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: people can read history, but it's not easy to understand

599
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: history if you're not reading it properly. What does that mean?

600
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: What does that mean? If he's not if you're not

601
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: reading it properly. So he tells the story of a

602
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: patient he had, and it was a woman who was

603
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: wildly naive. Her parents taught her that adults were angels, literally,

604
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: so super naive growing up, and then something really bad

605
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: happened to her in her twenties and her whole world

606
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: view collapsed and she couldn't function anymore. And she was

607
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: a college graduate in all the s and he says,

608
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: but didn't you read any history? She's like yeah, And

609
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: he says, well, didn't that disturb the whole adults are

610
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: angels thing, and she said, yeah, I read it, but

611
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: I compartimentalized it. So the first part of her treatment

612
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: from Jordan Peterson was to understand malevolence because she'd been

613
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: hurt by it, so she needed to understand it. And

614
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: the book that he had to read was called Ordinary Men,

615
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: and it's about these German policemen during World War Two,

616
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: the German policemen who were sent to Poland right after

617
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: the Nazis took over their wartime police. And these were decent,

618
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: normal middle class guys, and the author of the book

619
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: highlights the transformation that these guys went from normal guy

620
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: next door to people who were taking pregnant women into

621
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: the field and shooting him in the back of the head.

622
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: You're like, wow, could And it's a brutal book. And

623
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: it's about how an ordinary person and I know you're

624
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: thinking right now, you're thinking, oh, yeah, but I would

625
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: never do that. And that's Peterson's point. It's a brutal

626
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: book about how an ordinary person and people can very

627
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: easily transform into a Nazi murderer. Here's Peterson on here

628
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: and I had to read that. He said, but don't

629
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: you compartmentalize it? This is about you, right, This isn't

630
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: about someone else. When you read history, you think, well,

631
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: that's about someone else. It's like unless maybe you're a

632
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: victim and you identify with the victims. It's a very

633
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: rare person who reads history and identifies with the perpetrators.

634
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: But unless you read history and identify with the perpetrators,

635
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: then you don't understand history at all. And so who

636
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: wants to understand that? And I get my students, I said, look,

637
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: I've told him this for thirty years. Here's something you

638
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: have to understand. If you were in Nazi Germany, the

639
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: statistical probability is overwhelming that you would have been a perpetrator. Right,

640
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: you think you would have rescued Anne Frank It's like,

641
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: think again, those people are very, very, very very rare.

642
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: They put their lives on the line to do that,

643
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: They put their families lives on the line to do that.

644
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: You think you're one of those people? Really, it's like

645
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: that all that means is that you know nothing. You

646
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: know nothing about yourself, you know nothing about people, You

647
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: know nothing about politics, or economics or history. It's a

648
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: harsh lesson. Can we read history and see myself in

649
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: the perpetrator. It's hard because when we were in history,

650
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: we're always the heroes. Right. That's the moral elitism that

651
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: I was talking about before, Like I'm perfect, I'm wonderful.

652
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: But all these other people and all these protesters and

653
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: rioters are out there now they think they're so wonderful

654
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: and so perfect. But in the past, oh, everyone before me,

655
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: they were all awful because I'd we'd all be abolitionists

656
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: back in the day of slavery. Right, You ask any

657
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: kid today if they were alive in the eighteen hundreds

658
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: in the South, if they'd be an abolitionist, and every

659
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: single one of them would tell you they are. They

660
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: would be Oh, I'd definitely be an abolition night, wouldn't

661
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: You absolutely would not, because there were very few. But

662
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: we all like to think we would. Bill Maher even

663
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, he said, who are about

664
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: cancel culture? He said, who are these perfect people out

665
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: there in the world today who have never made any

666
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: mistakes of any kind? He said? He said His next

667
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: live was something like, and don't they think it's going

668
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: to come around and bite them in the you know what?

669
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: And no, they don't think it will come around because

670
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: they think they would have been abolitionists. They think they're perfect,

671
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: they're moral elitists, they're perfect in every way. So what

672
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: do we do with this? See? I see there's three

673
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: ways you can handle it. You can not evenly go

674
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: through life thinking you're a wonderful person and then meanwhile

675
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: you're canceling people and treating people terribly and being a

676
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: bad person even though you think you're so great. You

677
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: can know you're a bad person and then be a

678
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: bad person. That's true too. Or you can know you're

679
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: a bad person and then be a good person. But

680
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: that's hard, and there's no fourth option. There's no no,

681
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: you're a good person and be a good person. That's

682
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: not that's not possible. The best you can do is

683
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: know you're a bad person and then be a good one.

684
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: Peterson in his book, he talks about another client of his.

685
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: Her mom died when she was young. Her grandmother who

686
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: she was raised by, was a terrible, terrible person, and

687
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: her dad was an addict, just a bad life. And

688
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: he said, my client had a son, and she perpetuated

689
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: none of this with him. He grew up truthful and

690
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 1: independent and hard working and smart, and instead of widening

691
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: the terror in the cultural fabric that she inherited. She

692
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: sewed it up. She rejected the sins of her forefathers.

693
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: Such things can be done. We're gonna share a story

694
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: coming up at in the next hour of Johnny Kim.

695
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: It's one of the most amazing stories I've ever heard of,

696
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: a traumatic childhood, redeemed of someone who had every reason

697
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: to be bitter and angry and treat people horribly the

698
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: rest of his life, and instead he went on to

699
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: live is living well. I'll tell you, I'll hope you

700
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 1: a household name soon Johnny Kim. He rejected the sins

701
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: of his forefathers. He knew his capability of being a

702
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: bad person, and he actively is working always on being

703
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: a good one. And that's the deal. When you're a

704
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: victim of evil in the world, you can either perpetuate

705
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: it or you can end it. Netzsch To talked about this.

706
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: So Peterson says, starts small, Start small. He says, have

707
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: you taken full advantage of the opportunities offered you. Are

708
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: you working hard on your career or are you letting

709
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: bitterness and resentment hold you back and drag you down?

710
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: Have you cleaned up your life. If the answer is no,

711
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: here's something to try. Start to stop doing what you

712
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: know to be wrong. Start stopping today. Don't blame capitalism,

713
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: don't blame the radical laughter or the iniquity of your

714
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: of your enemies. Don't reorganize the state until you've ordered

715
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: your own experience. Have some humility. If you can't bring

716
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: peace to your own household, how dare you try to

717
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: rule a city? Before we get to the ultimate example

718
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: of that in the next hour, I want to are

719
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: a mythical example. And then, uh, you know we already

720
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: mentioned Sultan Nitskin, so we'll do it again. We'll do

721
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: two Sultan Nitskin references in one day. You're in the

722
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: Freedom Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. What's

723
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: going on? Freedom Hunt? Mike Slader here in San Diego,

724
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: filling in for the great Buck Sexton. Thanks so much

725
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: for being here and giving us a chance. I know

726
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: you want to just change the dial right now because

727
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: you're like I wanted Buck. This is not Buck. I'll

728
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 1: try to make it worthwhile for the next few minutes

729
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: here I want to give an example of of what

730
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: we were just talking about here, um, people overcoming trauma

731
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: conquering it, breaking the cycle, doing something heroic. Let me do.

732
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: Let me do a mythological one first, and then we'll

733
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: get to a real life story. Hercules. So when I

734
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: think Hercules, I think, what's the Hercules? Hercules? What? What

735
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: movie is that? Doctor doul Little, what's whatever? I think that,

736
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,919
Speaker 1: and then I think, like the Disney movie or whatever.

737
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: But we need to change that. You heard of the

738
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: twelve Labors of Hercules. So these were the king told

739
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: him to do these impossible tasks, and he did them all.

740
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: Killed this lion, killed this nine headed hydro snake, the

741
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: whole thing. Right. My favorite was there was a task

742
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be humiliating. That's why the king

743
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: had him do it was humiliating. It was impossible and humiliating.

744
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 1: He had to clean out the king's stables, huge stables.

745
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: He's like a thousand cattle, right, he had to clean

746
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: out the king's stables in one day. Impossible and degrading

747
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: because at least, I mean the other like, if you

748
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: had to go fight this the dog that's protecting the

749
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: gait of Hades, and you lose, you could die a

750
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: hero's death, right, But if you if you die under

751
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: filth of the stables. There's nothing in a rogue about that.

752
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: I was the want of that one, and he did it,

753
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: and he did it by redirecting a river, and the

754
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: river redirected flushed out the whole staple. But anyway, the

755
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: point is, why did he do these things? I always

756
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: thought it was. I just assumed because he was super

757
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: strong and he liked to do impossible things, or he

758
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: wanted to prove that he could, or he liked the challenge,

759
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: or he was looking for fame, he wanted to live

760
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: with the gods for eternity, or right he wanted he

761
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: wanted the girls. No, he did it because he was

762
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: looking to make amends. He wanted to be punished for

763
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: the terrible thing he'd done. So what do you do?

764
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: Real quick story. Zeus was married to Harrah, but Hercules

765
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: was born between Zeus and another woman. So Harrow was

766
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: jealous and vengeful and awful, so he tried. She tried

767
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 1: to kill Hercules a couple of times, and later she

768
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: cast a spell on him, making him go crazy, and

769
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: in his madness, Hercules his wife and two children. And

770
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: when the madness wore off, he was just wrecked with grief.

771
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: So he went to Apollo and he begged to be

772
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: punished for what he'd done. This was an act of penance.

773
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: He wanted to repent, repent for what he did, and

774
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: to do so, he had to confront these impossible labors.

775
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: And the metaphor here is these are these are the

776
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: things that we have to confront in our own lives. Right,

777
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: we got to clean out our own stables of our life,

778
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: things that seem equally impossible. Now in Christianity, only Jesus

779
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: can do that. But even like going to Jesus and

780
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: Hercules going to Apollo and the oracle Delphi, like, both

781
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: of those take incredible courage and humility, which goes back

782
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: to George Peterson's main point. So there are two things

783
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: that were in very short supply of humility and courage.

784
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: So Hercules, my point is, Hercules wasn't trying to take

785
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: over the world. He wasn't looking for fame, he wasn't

786
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: looking to rule other people and to become a king

787
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: of South. He was trying to get his own house

788
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: in order. We need to do whatever Herculean task. Let

789
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: me flip around. I let me say me, I need

790
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: to do whatever I need to do. The herculean task

791
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: that I need to do today and I need to

792
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: do it every day. And when you do, what a

793
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: triumph that is? I got two minutes. Let me give

794
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: you a the short of Alexander Sults Nitskin. We talked

795
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: about him earlier. He was a soldier on the front

796
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: lines against the Nazis. Afterwards the Soviets do him in

797
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: a prison labor camp where he got cancer. He had

798
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: every reason to be resentful and bitter, like this is

799
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: the I get one life, and this is it, this

800
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: is the life I get. He had way more reason

801
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: to be angry than people do today for the most part.

802
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: Right Similarly, we talk about on my show, we talk

803
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: a lot about former slaves who weren't bitter about being

804
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,399
Speaker 1: a slave. But we're supposed to believe people are bitter

805
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: today because of a legacy of slavery from one hundred

806
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: and fifty plus years ago. Give me a break. And

807
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: when you learn the life of people like Alexander Salts

808
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 1: and Nitzkin, it really takes your concerns. Takes him down

809
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: a niche here was Peterson, he said. During his many trials,

810
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 1: Saltzanitskin encountered people who comported themselves nobly under horrific circumstances.

811
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: He contemplated their behavior deeply. Then he asked himself the

812
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: most difficult questions, had he personally contributed to the catastrophe

813
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: of his life? If so, how let stop here? That

814
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: is a question that no, none of the riders protesters,

815
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: I wrote, none of them. No, because of moral elitism.

816
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: None of those people are asking themselves that question. No

817
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: one's asking them. He's how have I contributed to the

818
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: sins of the world? And you think what consults? And

819
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: he's in a Soviet gulog. Now he thought about the

820
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: sins he's committed to his life. He thought about how

821
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: many times he did things that he knew he shouldn't

822
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: have done. He thought about how many times he betrayed himself,

823
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: betrayed his moral code, how many times he lied? And

824
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: he took his life apart, his life apart, and he

825
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: rebuilt it anew. And then he wrote The Goolog Archipelago, which,

826
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: when it was released outside of the Soviet Union, just

827
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: destroyed the credibility of communism that people were pretending to

828
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: ignore for so long. And Peterson said, one man's decision

829
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: to change his life instead of simply cursing fate shook

830
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: the whole pathological system of communist tyranny to its core.

831
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: He got his own house in order, then changed to

832
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: the world. Coming up at the top of the next hour,

833
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: we're gonna share the story of Johnny Kim, who is

834
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: a man who your kids and grandkids must know and

835
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: everyone will soon and I'm super grateful for that. So

836
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that about thirty minutes. Coming up there,

837
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: we should talk about Kamala Harris a bit. And uh,

838
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 1: I was thinking, what is the precedent? Is there any

839
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: precedent at all to Biden? To no one thinking that

840
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: Biden's gonna make it through the next four years. If

841
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: he wins, he won't. But if he does, that's pretty wild.

842
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: At forty nine percent of Democrats are like, oh yeah, no,

843
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: he's not gonna survive. He won't live. There actually is

844
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: a precedent to its one hundred years ago. I tell

845
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 1: that story next. Mikes later filling in for Buck Sexten's

846
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: broad the word thanks for listening to remember to subscribe

849
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: in for buck Sexton today, I I guess I gotta

850
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: give a hot take about Kamala. Is that so I

851
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: think required for this? Let me do the very very

852
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: quick bottom lines, going to move the needle at all, um,

853
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. All right, that's it. That's about it.

854
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's nothing else really that needs to

855
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: be said. She's not going to be the person that's

856
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: going to drive voters to the polls. We know because

857
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: she ran for president just a couple of months ago.

858
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: So forty nine percent it didn't go well, forty nine

859
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: percent of Democrats, forty seventy three percent of Republicans, but

860
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: forty nine percent of Democrats don't think that Joe Biden

861
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: is gonna make it his four year term if he wins.

862
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 1: That is a stunning admission. Like this whole thing about

863
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's mental acuity or whatever. This was framed recently

864
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: as like a vast right wing conspiracy. But you have

865
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: forty nine percent of Democrats who are like, Oh, yeah, no,

866
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna die in what or oh yeah, he's losing

867
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: his mind, he's got tomenture something, and he's not gonna

868
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: He's not gonna make it that's amazing. So it is

869
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: Kamala gonna be the per that people are gonna be like,

870
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: well this, I'm not really voted for Biding because he's

871
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna die, but I'm definitely gonna vote for Kamala. I

872
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: can answer that with great certainty, Like we have a

873
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: pretty good idea about this. No, when she ran for

874
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: president a couple of months ago, she got an eight

875
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: hundred and forty four votes. For a little comparison sake,

876
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 1: Mary and Williamson got twenty two thousand. Now, in Kamala's defense,

877
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: she dropped out before the main primaries. But that's the point.

878
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: She dropped out before the main primaries. She couldn't get

879
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: any excitement at all when she ran for off is

880
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: why would anyone believe now that like, like now people

881
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: are gonna get really excited. So Trump's happy, phony Kamala,

882
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,479
Speaker 1: slow Joe and phony Kamala Joe Biden. He really needed

883
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: to pick someone outside of the game. Democrats don't have

884
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 1: a good bench, right the whole thing, all the Demi

885
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: the whole primary season, all the Democrats were bemoaning the family.

886
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: This is the best we got, Amy Klobuchar, and even

887
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: in the VP Hunt. It was like, oh, you know,

888
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 1: Tammy Duckworth. Damn you Duckworth? Are you talking? So all

889
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: the Democrats the whole time, we're bemoaning the fact that

890
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: this is our bench, and then Biden pick someone from

891
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: the bench. You're doing You're really Biden really had to

892
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: pick someone like Oprah. I mean, you're laughing right now.

893
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: I know you don't want but I'm saying he hadn't

894
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: mix up the game. That's why it was Trump's big

895
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: appeal because he was an outsider. Biden is the ultimate insider.

896
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: He's been in DC forty eight years. This is my

897
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: favorite Joe Biden fact. He's been in DC for one

898
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: fifth of the entire existence of the US Constitution, So

899
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: the time that the Constitution has existed, he's been in

900
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: DC for a fifth at that time. Okay, he's the

901
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: ultimate establishment guy. And then he picks a cop. All right,

902
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: So no Democrat is going to be excited about that.

903
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: So Biden needed to flip the whole game up. He

904
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:49,240
Speaker 1: needed an Oprah or Serena Williams or something or Cardi

905
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: b I don't know, someone outside of the game, but

906
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: he didn't. So let's talk about this mental acute issue.

907
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how Trump's gonna play this, Like Trump

908
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: has to address it somehow, but it's tricky because if

909
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: Trump's team does it too harshly, then they're they're picking

910
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: on the old guy and everyone's gonna feel bad for

911
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: him and it'll backlash on Trump. So he's got to

912
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,959
Speaker 1: do it in an interesting way, and I don't quite

913
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: know how. But Biden can't hide until November. I know

914
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: November is not that long away. I mean, the elections

915
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: only in two and a half months, but there's a

916
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: lot to do, and the next two and a half

917
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: months we got a couple of debates. If nothing else.

918
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: Biden is so fortunate. No one's happier than Joe Biden

919
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:49,439
Speaker 1: that there was COVID politically, because we already already would

920
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: have had months of events and speeches and interviews and

921
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and he's been able to escape past

922
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: all that. Before all the COVID stuff, everyone was talking

923
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: about how Joe Biden's handlers. The whole point was we

924
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: got to keep Joe from the cameras. And the only

925
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: way to really keep Joe buying away from the cameras

926
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: is worldwide pandemic and he got it, and he's been

927
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: able to do the noble heroic thing and stay hidden

928
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,439
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. So he's pretty fortunate. But is there any

929
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: precedent to this, because in normal times, there's no way

930
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: he could have hid from the cameras this long, But

931
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: in the past maybe you could have. So the closest

932
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: thing I could think, you got to go back one

933
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: hundred years. So we'll start October nineteen nineteen, literally hundred

934
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: years ago. Is that wild? October nineteen nineteen. For six

935
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: months before then, Woodrow Wilson was touring all across the

936
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: Europe negotiating the Treaty of Versailles. So he got back

937
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: in September and he started a nationwide speaking tour to

938
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 1: get people on board with the League of Nations. And

939
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: he went from train station to train station all across

940
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: the country, given a speech about the League of Nations.

941
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: On the train, people were worried about his health and

942
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: he was a hard worker. He worked on stop. He

943
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: oversaw World War One. He was the president during the

944
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: Spanish Flu. He got the flu in April of nineteen nineteen,

945
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: so on the train he was getting sick and lost

946
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: his appetite and his asthma would get worse, and he

947
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: was complaining about headaches and all right, And then he

948
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: got to Colorado and his face muscles started to twitch.

949
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: He got super nauseous, and he had a splitting headache.

950
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: And then the next day the left side of his

951
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: mouth started to sag, so no one could deny it anymore.

952
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: This was September twenty sixth, nineteen nineteen, so Woodrow Wilson's

953
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: people they canceled the rest of the tour. The train

954
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: sped back to DC, so September twenty eight they got

955
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: there and he actually walked through the train station himself,

956
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: and he shook a few hands and they whisked him

957
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: off to the White House. In October second a doctor

958
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: visited him and Woodrow Wilson fell to the floor on

959
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: the way or two or from the bathroom, and he

960
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: fell to the floor, and they got him back on

961
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: the bed, the doctor and the wife. His wife and

962
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: the doctor left the bedroom and told his aids, my god,

963
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: the president is paralyzed. So for the rest as the

964
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: end of nineteen nineteen, and the election was November twenty twenty,

965
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: so for the rest of the year, he stayed in

966
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: his bed and they kept everyone away. He actually tried

967
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 1: to run for a third term. He was trying to

968
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: like deadlock the convention, but that didn't work. He was

969
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: pushed aside by the party. But it took a while

970
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: before people knew the severity of his illness. And just

971
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: to finish up that part of the story, three years later,

972
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: when he passed away, his final words were I'm a

973
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: broken piece of machinery, and when the machinery is broken,

974
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: I am ready. And then the next day his mind

975
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: his last words were Edith, his wife, which we'll get

976
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: two in a second. But for all that time, he

977
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: was paralyzed on his left side. He had partial vision

978
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: in his right eye only, so he was blind. He

979
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: was confined to his bed. No one saw him except

980
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: for his wife and doctor. And that was the case

981
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: for the entire last year of his presidency. And that's

982
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: why the historians and others say that the first female

983
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: president was Edith Wilson, because his wife had to do everything.

984
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: So the question, though, is how is he able to

985
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: hide it so well? Enter Lewis Cybold, reporter at the

986
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: New York World, June eighteenth. So halfway through this whole things,

987
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: June eighteen nineteen twenty, he wrote an article. Here's the headline,

988
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: correspondent in three hour visit finds president's mental vigor unimpaired

989
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: executive gains twenty pounds in two months, and he does

990
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: more work now than before night. That's how you read

991
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 1: head by in nineteen twenty. Let me read a little

992
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: bit of the article. Nine months of courageous battling to

993
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: repair the consequences of illness has neither daunted the spirit

994
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: nor impaired in the slightest degree, the splendid intellect of

995
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:18,479
Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson. Real quick. People complain about biased media today.

996
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: Media has always been biased. This is one hundred years ago.

997
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Listen to this garbage, right, This is like the media

998
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: today talking about Obama's pant leg and the CNN reporter

999
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: when Kamala was running for president taking video and uploading

1000
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: video of her shopping and trying on this fabulous coat.

1001
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all the same. Garbage. Has been like

1002
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: this forever, literally since our founding. The newspapers were originally

1003
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: just like partisan pamphlet They spread around here, so it's

1004
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: no different here. During the three hours I met with

1005
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: the President, I saw him transact the important functions of

1006
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: his office with his old time decisiveness method of keenness

1007
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: method and keenness of intellect intellectual appraisement. The correspondent heard

1008
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: him dictate his decisions on matters of rate to governmental

1009
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: importance with the facility of expression and directness of meaning

1010
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: that indicated no impairment of his mental of his efficient

1011
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: mental machine that has known only the hardest kind of

1012
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: work for forty years. All right, So it goes on

1013
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: and on. Here's a good line. He talks about the president,

1014
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,439
Speaker 1: how he went walking to these different places and taking

1015
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: care of business and speaking clearly and intelligently and awesome.

1016
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: It has the same angular face, quite as full and

1017
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: cheek and not the least shrunken in the temples. It

1018
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: was the same face registered in a mental picture eight

1019
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: months before, and they were unmistakably the Wilson eyes, keen,

1020
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:41,959
Speaker 1: searching and snappily intelligent. Okay, so that was the article,

1021
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, oh wow, would you Wilson's doing fine?

1022
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: No problem, All of it was made up. The entire

1023
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: thing was made up. Would joy Wilson couldn't walk. His

1024
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: entire left side was paralyzed. You couldn't see his attention

1025
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: span was like sixty seconds or within hours of conversation.

1026
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: He couldn't sign anything, You can't do anything. The interview

1027
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: was a total fake. Never happened. Wilson's press secretary made

1028
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: up all the answers. Now here's the real kicker. Lewis

1029
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Siebold won the Pulitzer Prize for that article. He won

1030
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: the Plitzer Prize for that article that he totally made up.

1031
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: Now I share that story because every reporter today who's

1032
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: covering Biden is trying to pull a Siebold and they

1033
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: think they're heroic in the process. They think they're gonna

1034
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: win a Pulitzer because of it, and who knows, these days,

1035
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: they probably could. Mikes later, filling in for Buck Sexton,

1036
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: spread the word you're in the freedom hunt. This is

1037
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Hey, Mikes later filling in

1038
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: for Buck Sexton. One last quote here from this made

1039
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: up article one hundred years ago about Woodrow Wilson. Oh,

1040
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: he's fine, totally fine, totally made up, won a Pulitzer.

1041
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: This is a quote from Wilson in the article, but

1042
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 1: again made up. Well, I'm coming around in good shape

1043
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: and could do a lot more things. Now if missus

1044
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: Wilson and doctor Grayson would kindly look the other way

1045
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: once in a while. So that was a pretty funny line.

1046
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: So last thing about Kamala um again won't move the needle.

1047
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: No one's gonna be excited to vote for her. They

1048
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: weren't excited to vote for But we talked about that

1049
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: last sement. Here's the thing that her campaign needs to do.

1050
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: They need to make her the center point. And you

1051
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: see the media already playing this. If there was an

1052
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: NPR graphic the other day and it said Kamala Harris,

1053
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: big letters, Kamala Harris chosen as Joe Biden's running mate,

1054
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: like a little tiny line, and then the picture of

1055
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Kamala was in front of Joe Biden, so like from

1056
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: the shoulders up. So Kamala was in the front and

1057
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: the foreground, and then Joe Biden was in the in

1058
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: the background. Like that's weird that that's not that's not

1059
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: now that normally has done. So they're the media is

1060
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: already playing this game. But Kamala's campaign needs to do

1061
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: the same, and they need to make it historic. And

1062
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: if you don't vote for her, you're racist. This is

1063
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: this is what they've been doing for everything right, so

1064
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: they needed the same thing for her campaign. Here. If

1065
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: you don't vote for her, you are the glass ceiling.

1066
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: You want to break the glass ceiling. Be a part

1067
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: of the solution. You have to vote for her because

1068
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: it's historic and Trump's team will be fine. They're going

1069
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: to frame her as an unlikable authoritarian throwing parents in

1070
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: jail for their kids missing school when she there's the

1071
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:49,919
Speaker 1: district attorney in San Francisco and not only hard on crime,

1072
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: but cruel. It is cruel to people. That's how they're

1073
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: going to frame her as a California progressive extremist physic ka.

1074
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: So that's the that's the narrative. That's gonna be historic

1075
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: decision versus California progressive extremists. Now the media again, they're

1076
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: gonna carry the water Giez for the next two and

1077
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: a half months. It's gonna be Joe Biden and Joan

1078
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: of Arc are the two. Joe Biden chose Joan of

1079
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:26,479
Speaker 1: Arc to be the bravest, most brilliant, most successful woman

1080
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: you've ever seen in your life. She is. She is

1081
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: Gandhi Rosa Parks and Oprah A'll roll in the one

1082
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 1: and you can never ever say anything bad about her ever,

1083
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: do you hear me? Media? You saw that group? Um

1084
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: they're called we have her back. This was before they

1085
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's team announced who was going to be, even

1086
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: though I think they probaly already knew, but they sent

1087
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: it to all the editors and bureau chiefs and political

1088
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: directors and editors and producers or whatever, saying you can't

1089
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: don't be racist or sexist, avoid sexism and racism by

1090
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: avoiding commentary on Biden's running mates ambition, which Kamala Harris

1091
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: has a lot of. Just to ask Willie Brown, her

1092
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 1: relationship with partners and staff, her likability, her looks, her

1093
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: tone of voice, whether she's likable or electable, and any

1094
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,720
Speaker 1: reporting on the heritage of black women or women of

1095
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: color that perpetuates a misunderstanding about who is legitimately American.

1096
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. You can't use

1097
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: a picture of her looking angry lest it perpetuates the

1098
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: racist tropes that suggest unfairly that women are too emotional

1099
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: or irrational in their leadership leadership. See, that's exactly what

1100
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. So this is interesting. So, as I said,

1101
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 1: her campaign has to make it out to be racist

1102
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 1: if you don't vote for her. And here's they just

1103
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: called it a racist trope that suggests women are too

1104
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: emotional to be in leadership. That's at a racist trope.

1105
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: That would be a mode, that would be a sexist trope.

1106
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: But they didn't say. They said it's a racist trope

1107
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: that women are too emotional. So, no matter what it is,

1108
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:13,759
Speaker 1: you're a racist. If you say you don't like her policies,

1109
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: that's racist. If you disagree with something she ever said

1110
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: in the speech years ago, you're racist. You can't talk

1111
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: about ambition, her ambition, You can't talk about her her family.

1112
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: You can't talk about her lack of kids. That's sexist.

1113
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: You can't and racist. You can't talk about anything. You

1114
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: can't talk if you if you ask her a question

1115
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: about Joe Biden, that's racist. Oh you're asking the black

1116
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: person about Joe Biden. If you don't ask her anything, Oh,

1117
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: she can't speak for Joe Biden. You don't think she's

1118
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: smart enough to answer questions, right, You can't do anyth

1119
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: if you ask her a question like people would ask

1120
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: Sarah Palin, the questions out Russia or whatever. If she

1121
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: doesn't know the answer, you can't say anything about that.

1122
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: That's racist. You can't do anything. And certainly if you're

1123
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: black or of color, then you can't say anything bad

1124
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: because now you're betraying your race. And you must vote

1125
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: for her because it's historic. Azing, don't cave to the rhetoric.

1126
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 1: Stop already, Stop letting it work, all right. I want

1127
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: to come back with one of my favorite stories I've

1128
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,799
Speaker 1: heard in a long time. Conservatives need to tell more stories.

1129
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: There's a narrative going around about America and about our

1130
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: culture that we are racist, sexist and all the rest,

1131
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: and it's not true. So we need to tell better stories.

1132
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: And I want to start with the story of Johnny Kim.

1133
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 1: If you don't know him now, I guarantee you you

1134
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 1: will very soon. Well you will if you let's stick around,

1135
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: we'll do it next. Mike's Later, filling in for Buck Sexton,

01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 1: know you're very disappointed you tuned in for Buck. I'm

1143
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 1: not Buck, but it's the way sometimes you just you

1144
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: had Attorney General Barr the other day. That's amazing, and

1145
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: now now me, but it evens out right. You gotta

1146
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: keep it even and let Buck have a day off

1147
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 1: every now and again. He does hours and hours of

1148
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: radio dates unbelievable. But I'm honored to be here and

1149
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: I look forward to Buck getting back. I think you're

1150
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna light this story them. Someone called into my local

1151
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: show the other day, I'm in San Diego, and they said, Slater,

1152
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: how do we beat the narrative of today? Right? This

1153
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: Marxist everything's a battle between the oppressors and the oppressed.

1154
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: How do we beat that? And I said, we need

1155
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: to tell better stories. The good stories, the good true

1156
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: stories are there. We just need to tell them. Because

1157
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: the left is very good at telling convincing stories on

1158
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: a micro and a macro level. Like on a micro level,

1159
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 1: they're they're good at telling stories of the poor and

1160
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: downtrotting victim, and then macro they're also very good at

1161
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 1: telling people how we all should feel. Like you should

1162
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:09,839
Speaker 1: feel aggrieved. You entire group of people should feel aggrieve,

1163
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: you should feel bitter, you should feel angry, and it's

1164
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: easy to do that, right. This is why Marxism is

1165
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: so appealing. Right, you have this utopian vision which we're

1166
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: right around the corner from. It's just that they're these

1167
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: people that are in the way, and they're in your way.

1168
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: And everyone who has more than you got it from

1169
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: stealing from you. See how appealing that is as opposed

1170
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: to the million other things that could that are the

1171
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 1: reason why this person is more than you do. It's no,

1172
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 1: they stole it from you. This appeals to, as Jordan

1173
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 1: Peterson said, the cane like aspect of the human spirit,

1174
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 1: that everyone who got something got it in a corrupt way.

1175
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: So this not only justifies my envy, which is the

1176
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: worst of all emotions that'll destroy you. So it not

1177
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 1: only justifies it, but it also justifies all my actions

1178
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: that I would take to level the field. And it

1179
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 1: makes me look virtuous when doing it. I mean, that's

1180
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Right. So, so if you're you're walking around

1181
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: and you feel you feel envious, and you feel aggrieved

1182
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: already a little bit, you're telling me that this envy

1183
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 1: is good and understandable and justifiable, and I can do

1184
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: whatever out of it, and I'm noble and virtuous. It's

1185
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: very appealing. Resentment is very powerful, and people use it

1186
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 1: to manipulate you. There's a so that's Marxism. That's the

1187
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 1: story that they tell him. I just finished this book

1188
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: called Sex and the Catholic Feminist. It's so good. It's

1189
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 1: by Sue Ellen Browner. I was sitting on the counter

1190
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 1: the other day and my wife saw She said a art,

1191
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 1: Are you a Catholic Feminist? Now It's like, no, No,

1192
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,560
Speaker 1: there's a reason it's called that Trust me and the

1193
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: great great book. It's all about the feminist movement and

1194
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: the sexual revolution. Everything is so good. And she has

1195
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: this line she says, stories speak to our hearts. They

1196
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,639
Speaker 1: tell us not only how we might live, but how

1197
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: we should live. And that's why we must watch the

1198
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: stories we tell and the stories we trust with a

1199
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 1: vigilant eye. We've been told a lot of stories for

1200
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 1: a long time that are not true and that feed

1201
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: off of the worst instincts inside of our human nature

1202
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: and manipulate us. We need better stories. And I want

1203
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: to tell the story of Johnny Kim. His parents were

1204
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: immigrants from South Korea. He was born right after they

1205
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:01,719
Speaker 1: came here, is in nineteen eighty four, and his dad

1206
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 1: was a violent alcoholic. From as young of an age

1207
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: as he can remember, he had this desire to protect

1208
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 1: his younger brother and his mom from dad. And it

1209
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 1: was nearly daily, four months at a time, on and off.

1210
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 1: His mom would be scared to be home at night,

1211
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,560
Speaker 1: so she would be at home during the day and

1212
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 1: she would make the kids dinner, and then she would

1213
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: leave and she would sleep somewhere else, and then their

1214
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 1: dad would come home at night drunk, and the whole

1215
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:47,560
Speaker 1: thing right. One day, he came home early and his

1216
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: mom was still there, and he was furious. And Johnny's

1217
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: telling this story and he remembers the day. It was

1218
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: February twenty first, two thousand and two, and Johnny could

1219
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 1: smell the whiskey on his dad's breath, and he knew

1220
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: me he smelled that all the time, but he knew

1221
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: that there was something different about this moment. There's even

1222
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 1: more tension than normal. And his dad looked at Johnny,

1223
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 1: who was seventeen at the time, looked at Johnny and said, well,

1224
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: here it is in his own words, This is Johnny

1225
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: Kim on Jocko's podcast. My father came out to me

1226
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: and some of the last words he said to me was,

1227
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jonathan, and you've ever sprayed my face? And

1228
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 1: then all I hear in the kitchen is my mother

1229
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: screaming for help and saying he's got a gun. So

1230
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: I then, you know, fight or flight? Do you do

1231
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: what you need to do to protect the people you love.

1232
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: So I up and I did my best to fight

1233
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 1: him and get that gun and fought as hard as

1234
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: I could, as as as strong as I guess one

1235
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pound year old kid could do at

1236
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: the time. But I lost to that fight. I still

1237
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: have a scar right around here, Um from when my

1238
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 1: father was He was able to get ahold of a

1239
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: dumbbell nearby and smashed my head in with it, and

1240
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 1: I think, um, they kind of turned the fight and

1241
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 1: he was able to get his gun out of his pocket,

1242
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: got the gun out, and they were pleading with him,

1243
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 1: and Johnny said, by the grace of God, Johnny kept saying,

1244
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 1: it's not too late, it's not too late, And by

1245
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: the grace of God, he shot it in the air.

1246
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: And then ran out the back door. So Mom called

1247
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 1: nine when one cops came, ambulance whole thing. Johnny went

1248
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 1: to the hospital to get his head stabled up and

1249
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: he got back. Imagine that day, so far right, gets

1250
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 1: back home and you know, he wanked in to his

1251
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: room and he noticed that the furniture in his room

1252
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 1: shifted a bit because his room has access to the attic,

1253
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: and he noticed that the furniture moved to gain access

1254
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,679
Speaker 1: to the attic. So Johnny told police that he thinks

1255
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: his dad is hiding in the attic. So police came

1256
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 1: section off the area, they confronted his dad, and as

1257
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: Johnny put it, shots were fired and my father was killed.

1258
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 1: So this is up there. I'm not in the business

1259
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: of ranking childhood's right, but this is right up there

1260
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 1: with one of the worst childhood's imaginable right. Terrified, his

1261
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,560
Speaker 1: entire life torturous. Is every once in a while his

1262
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: dad would wake him up in the middle of the

1263
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: night with a cold glass of water to his face

1264
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: and then have his son pick out something that his

1265
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 1: dad would destroy in front of him. And his dad

1266
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 1: did that to hurt his mom, right, So that's cruel, terrified,

1267
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: his entire life of his dad. And I'm sure he

1268
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: even thought that he was somewhat responsible for killing his dad, right,

1269
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the one who told the police that

1270
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: he was hot. Right. I gotta take a break, let

1271
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 1: me come back. I want to play this line from

1272
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: him that is unfathomable. It doesn't make any sense at all.

1273
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: And then I want to tell you what Johnny Kim

1274
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: is doing today and why you will know him. Soon

1275
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 1: you will know his name, and now you will know

1276
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,560
Speaker 1: his story. We'll do that next. Mike's later filing it

1277
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 1: for Box Sexton. Spread the word. You're in the Freedom Hunt.

1278
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Hey, Freedom Hut.

1279
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 1: We're I'm Mike Laer filing in for Buck Sexton. We're

1280
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 1: telling the story of Johnny Kim. So if you're just

1281
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: tuning in real quick, traumatic life, cruel father, almost shot

1282
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: and killed the entire family. This is awful. And he's

1283
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: telling a story. And I'm gonna tell you what he's

1284
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 1: doing now in a minute. Here he's telling the story

1285
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's like, oh, that's the worst thing ever.

1286
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: And then he says this, all those experiences, while they

1287
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,759
Speaker 1: were terrible at the time, I wouldn't take I wouldn't

1288
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: trade any of that for anything. I would never want

1289
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: to trade that because every thing that happened helped form

1290
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 1: me into the person I am today. And we'll talk

1291
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: about it. The teams helped channel that into good. What

1292
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: I think about that sentence you're telling me, you're telling me,

1293
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: Johnny kim right. God pulls you up, you go to heaven,

1294
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: and God says, all right, Johnny, you got a choice.

1295
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 1: You can go back and relive your life again, the abuse,

1296
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 1: the fear, almost getting killed by your father, the whole thing.

1297
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: You can live that life again, or you can live

1298
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 1: the privileged life of Mike Slater, white, middle class, great parents,

1299
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: happy life, whole thing. Which do you choose? You tell me, Johnny,

1300
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: would you would choose your life again with the torture,

1301
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: the fear, the abuse, the trauma. Yeah, because it made

1302
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:14,560
Speaker 1: me who I am today. That is an amazing like

1303
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: that is a life changing perspective. Reminds me of a

1304
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:26,919
Speaker 1: story of book A. T. Washington Former slave Mansipation Proclamation

1305
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: came out when he was nine, so he was freed,

1306
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:30,719
Speaker 1: and then he went to go work in the salt

1307
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 1: mines and he talked about how dangerous, it was, and

1308
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: things would explode and you get lost in the darkness,

1309
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 1: just awful. And he wrote this. This isn't his autobiography

1310
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 1: called Up from Slavery, which you have to read. He said,

1311
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 1: in those days and later, as a young man, I

1312
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: used to try to picture in my imagination the feelings

1313
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 1: and ambitions of a white boy with absolutely no limit

1314
01:22:54,960 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 1: placed upon his aspirations and activities. I used to envy

1315
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: the white boy who had no obstacles placed in his

1316
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 1: way of becoming a congressman, governor, bishop or president. I

1317
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 1: used to picture the way that I would act under

1318
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 1: such circumstances, and that, right, it makes perfect sense. Right,

1319
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 1: he's in the salt mines and he would see kids

1320
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 1: walking to school, and that's what he wanted more than anything,

1321
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: was to go to school. But he couldn't. We thought

1322
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: about what would be like to be white, and what

1323
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 1: would be like to be a live a life where

1324
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: you could just do whatever you want. In later years, however,

1325
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: I confess that I do not envy the white boy

1326
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 1: as I once did. I've learned here's the line. I've

1327
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: learned that success is to be measured not so much

1328
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: by the position that one has reached in life as

1329
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 1: by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

1330
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: And looked at from this standpoint, I reached the conclusion

1331
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: that often the Negro boy's birth and connection with an

1332
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: unpopular race is an advantage so far as real life

1333
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: is concerned. With a few exceptions, the Negro youth must

1334
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: work harder and must perform his tasks even better than

1335
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: a white youth in order to secure recognition. Now, a

1336
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: lot of people look at that today and they're like, oh,

1337
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: it's not off. It isn't that terrible? And bookuty washed

1338
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: and said, no, it's great. Out of the hard and

1339
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: unusual struggle which through which he is compelled to pass,

1340
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 1: he gets a strength, a confidence that one misses whose

1341
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: pathway is comparatively smooth by reason of birth and race.

1342
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 1: From any point of view, I would rather be what

1343
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 1: I am, a member of the Negro race than be

1344
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: able to claim membership with the most favored of any

1345
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:46,640
Speaker 1: other race. I share that because these are two men

1346
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: who have every excuse to be bitter, every excuse, genuine,

1347
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,440
Speaker 1: rightful excuse. Right. These are people who have microaggressions. Oh,

1348
01:24:55,479 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: this person said, these people are real, real reasons. But

1349
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 1: they did not let it consume them, and in fact,

1350
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: they use their trauma for good to go and serve others,

1351
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 1: to the point where if they had to do it

1352
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 1: all over again, they would choose the exact same life

1353
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: they lived. Come on, now, we as conservatives, we need

1354
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 1: to share more of these stories so our kids and

1355
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 1: grandkids can grow up knowing that when bad things happen,

1356
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to ruin them. You don't have to

1357
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 1: ruminate about it. You don't have to harp on, you

1358
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 1: don't have to be bitter about it. You don't have

1359
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 1: to complain about you have to whine about it forever.

1360
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: In fact, you can make you stronger. Consider it pure joy,

1361
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

1362
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 1: because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

1363
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: I gotta give the kicker of the story, Johnny Kimp,

1364
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you think he did

1365
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: with his life? Yeah, if you guessed a Navy seal,

1366
01:25:55,880 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: you'd be right. Became a Navy seal. Now, if you

1367
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: guessed Harvard Med school graduate, you'd also be right. He

1368
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 1: went to the seals and then Harvard med school and

1369
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: you're thinking, okay, so what are you tell me? Maybe

1370
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: he's an astronaut too. Yep, Johnny Kim's an astronaut. That

1371
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 1: sounds like a joke. He's a Navy seal, then went

1372
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: to Harvard Med school. Now he's an astronaut and he's

1373
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 1: in the art I think it's called the Artemis program,

1374
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: which is said to go to the Moon in the

1375
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: next couple of years. But that's like a joke, right,

1376
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: Like like he goes Navy seal, then doctor and they're like, oh,

1377
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do next? Become an astronaut? Like,

1378
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: oh you know what? All right? Someone they said, Yeah,

1379
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 1: guy can't hold a job. Look where he was able

1380
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: to accomplish because he didn't let bitterness consume him could

1381
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 1: have that's the power of a story. Let me end

1382
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: with this Johnny Kim. He's at the police station and

1383
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 1: the detective comes to tell him about his dad. The

1384
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:11,600
Speaker 1: detective I talked to he said, son, I'm sorry to

1385
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: tell you, but your father is dead. And this is

1386
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 1: one on one in a room, and I was just emotionless,

1387
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:29,760
Speaker 1: just stone faced, and he said, I take it that

1388
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: this is not bad news. Is this good and I said,

1389
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 1: it's I'm just relieved, sir, And he said, I understand so.

1390
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:57,560
Speaker 1: And it's just a day for so many reasons that

1391
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:04,759
Speaker 1: that to me be reborn into the person I wanted

1392
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 1: to become, that I've always wanted to become my entire life.

1393
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: And I knew from there that maybe, just maybe I

1394
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: had what it took to be a seal. Some in

1395
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:17,640
Speaker 1: the Redstone had just passed away said success is not

1396
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration.

1397
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's built on catastrophe. Do you have what it

1398
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:30,640
Speaker 1: takes to be a blank? Not even in spite of

1399
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 1: the things that have happened to you, but because of

1400
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 1: those things. Mike's later billinder for Buck Sexton, spend the word.

1405
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 1: man a day off. We'll be back on Monday better

1406
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: than ever. Just to wrap up the Johnny Kim story,

1407
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: which is one of my favorites. That's the power of story,

1408
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 1: and we got to get back to them if we

1409
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 1: want to take take this back, take the narrative back

1410
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: of of what America is and who we are. So

1411
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: on my local, uh local show, I'm here in San

1412
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: Diego and on TV show Buck and I are both

1413
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: on the first, we've spent a lot of time talking

1414
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 1: about telling the story of ancient Greece and how they

1415
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 1: became a democracy, and Rome and how it became a republican.

1416
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: You know, we just think like, oh, Greece was a democracy, yeah, yeah,

1417
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: but how did it how? Oh yeah, the Roman Republic? Ye?

1418
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:42,680
Speaker 1: How did it become a republic? I mean, you've you've

1419
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:45,360
Speaker 1: heard of maybe you've seen the Magna Carta before, you've

1420
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: heard of it. How did that happen? How did England

1421
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 1: create that? I mean, these these are moments in world

1422
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 1: history that made us today, made America. These are this

1423
01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 1: is our story. I know it's a way over in

1424
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 1: Greece and Rome and and Inga, but this is America's story.

1425
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 1: All of these happened in out of moments of chaos

1426
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: and tyranny. Richard Lyons who wrote a book called The

1427
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:15,599
Speaker 1: DNA of Democracy, which is fantastic, and he calls these

1428
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 1: the crucible of democracy, a tyrant would come. It was

1429
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: too much, something something I would trigger. It was just

1430
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: too much, and the good people rose up and liberated everyone.

1431
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 1: And that happened all the way to America. But it

1432
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,680
Speaker 1: came out of tyranny. That's the point. So that's a

1433
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:40,680
Speaker 1: macro example, the crucible of tyranny led to freedom. But

1434
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 1: it's true on a micro level too. The crucible of

1435
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: tyranny and Johnny Kim's life, in Booker T. Washington's life,

1436
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 1: and Broderick Douglas's life, and Josiah Henson's life would just

1437
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 1: go on and I was billions of example people we

1438
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:58,679
Speaker 1: don't even know your life. Perhaps it's true for every individual.

1439
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:04,280
Speaker 1: And if we told this truth to our kids today,

1440
01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:08,479
Speaker 1: the story of people overcoming obstacles. What if that was

1441
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 1: the narrative that we shared with kids as opposed to

1442
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 1: I'll here's all the victims and you are too. Here's

1443
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 1: someone who triumphed and you can too. How much different

1444
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 1: would our world be today. That's a totally different planet

1445
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 1: we're living on. So how do we get that back?

1446
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 1: We've got to tell the right stories. Maybe, hey, let

1447
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 1: let buck know you want me to fill in again

1448
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 1: out and we'll do We'll do that. We'll take a

1449
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 1: whole we could do with hours and hours. I'll try

1450
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 1: to do it in an hour. We'll do the story

1451
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: of Greece, and we'll do the Grease democracy, and we'll

1452
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 1: do the story of the Roman Republic. I think we

1453
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 1: could do both in an hour, and then we'll do

1454
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:50,960
Speaker 1: the Magna Carta, but that has to be another half hour.

1455
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: We'll do that next time. I feel in, um, all right,

1456
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 1: change your gears here a bit kinda. This is Matt Kay.

1457
01:31:57,800 --> 01:31:59,800
Speaker 1: Have you seen this. I'm sure Buck did a segment

1458
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 1: on I missed it, but I'm sure Bucked in. He's

1459
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: a teacher at the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia, which

1460
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: is a Magnets public school, and he wrote a book,

1461
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 1: wrote a book about how to have a meaningful race

1462
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 1: conversation in the classroom, and he put this on Twitter.

1463
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 1: He since deleted it, which is a bummer because his

1464
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 1: comments are bad, but the supplies are even worse. He said,

1465
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:22,439
Speaker 1: let's see so, he said, virtual class discussions will have

1466
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 1: many potential spectators, parents, siblings, etc. In the same room.

1467
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 1: We'll never be quite sure who is overhearing the discourse.

1468
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:34,920
Speaker 1: What does this do for our inclusion and equity work.

1469
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 1: I am most intrigued by the damage that helicopter parents

1470
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 1: can do and honest conversations about gender and sexuality. And

1471
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: while conservative parents, it's you are my chief concern. I

1472
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:50,200
Speaker 1: know that damage can come from the left. Two. If

1473
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 1: we're engaged in the work of destabilizing a kid's racism

1474
01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:57,760
Speaker 1: or homophobia or transphobia, how much do we want their

1475
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 1: classmates parents piling on And so let's we got to

1476
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:06,600
Speaker 1: talk about this. So for the brillianth time, this is

1477
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,960
Speaker 1: a but maybe this is the first time you've seen it,

1478
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 1: and that's why I play it over and over and

1479
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: over again for the last seven years. This is a

1480
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 1: clip from twenty thirteen is MSNBC. This is a promo,

1481
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:17,400
Speaker 1: and I just want to be very clear. This is

1482
01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:19,720
Speaker 1: not a slip of the tongue. This was a written out,

1483
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 1: made many takes, edited, produced, signed off on, through many

1484
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:30,800
Speaker 1: layers of bureaucracy, and then aired multiple times on MSNBC.

1485
01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:34,360
Speaker 1: Here it is, we have never invested as much in

1486
01:33:34,439 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 1: public education as we should have because we've always had

1487
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 1: kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is

1488
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 1: yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very

1489
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 1: collective notion of these are our children. So part of

1490
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:47,560
Speaker 1: it is we have to break through our kind of

1491
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,680
Speaker 1: private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids

1492
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 1: belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to

1493
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:57,200
Speaker 1: whole communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households,

1494
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 1: then we start making better investments. So that's Melissa Harris,

1495
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:03,799
Speaker 1: Parry or Parry Harris or whatever. She was a Princeton

1496
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 1: professor of Princeton for a while. So they're not your kids, right.

1497
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 1: We got to get rid of the private notion of

1498
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 1: the family. So for marx and Marxists, the two obstacles

1499
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 1: that are in the way of a Marxist revolution are

1500
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:23,720
Speaker 1: the church and the family. And in the I was

1501
01:34:23,720 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the churches or the church, and let

1502
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 1: me say a quick thing about the church. For some reason,

1503
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 1: people think that the Marxists are going to tear down

1504
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 1: every other aspect of society, but they'll leave the church alone,

1505
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:38,919
Speaker 1: the single most important culture making aspect of the individual

1506
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:40,800
Speaker 1: and society. Do you think the Marxists are going to

1507
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 1: march through all the institutions except for that one? Of course,

1508
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,719
Speaker 1: not they're infiltrating the church as well. We're talking about

1509
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:48,639
Speaker 1: a lot a lot about that on my local show

1510
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,880
Speaker 1: and on the TV two. But church and the family,

1511
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: and in the Soviet Union, every effort was taken to

1512
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 1: take over the ownership of children. And now since then

1513
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 1: feminists have taken over that same mantle. The goal of

1514
01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 1: feminism was to get the woman out of the house.

1515
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:05,920
Speaker 1: The greatest good was a working woman and climbing the

1516
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:08,600
Speaker 1: corporate ladder. If you want to control the population, you

1517
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:10,599
Speaker 1: break down the family. And if you want to break

1518
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 1: down the family, you pressure all the women to leave

1519
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 1: the home. And that's what feminism has done. I know

1520
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:19,880
Speaker 1: so many women who have worked, worked, worked, worked, work

1521
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 1: their entire adult lives, law school, med school, dead up

1522
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:26,400
Speaker 1: to their eyeballs, and then they have a kid and

1523
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 1: they don't want to work anymore. But there's this huge

1524
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,760
Speaker 1: societal pressure to get back in the workforce. You're not

1525
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 1: living your full life, your true life, you're not living

1526
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 1: the life a woman should live unless you go back

1527
01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:43,599
Speaker 1: to work. And they don't want to, but they feel

1528
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 1: this huge pressure that they must. And it's because they've

1529
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,559
Speaker 1: grown up in this soup of feminism. For their entire

1530
01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:54,240
Speaker 1: lives and it's a huge shame. But we'll table that

1531
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 1: for another day as well. We'll talk about that next

1532
01:35:55,840 --> 01:36:00,000
Speaker 1: time too. Anyway, they left so they want to get

1533
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,799
Speaker 1: were kids and the church and family, so they replace

1534
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,840
Speaker 1: it with this idea of the village. Now they've taken

1535
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:10,599
Speaker 1: this concept of the village, which is definitely true, right,

1536
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 1: Like I have a village. It's my family, and then

1537
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:20,599
Speaker 1: neighbors and friends and extended family, and then the community

1538
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:23,040
Speaker 1: and my church. That's a village. I have people I

1539
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:26,680
Speaker 1: can call on right everywhere for every different thing of

1540
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 1: my life, and it's amazing. It's the greatest blessing of

1541
01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 1: my life. Is this village that that you have to create,

1542
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:33,400
Speaker 1: by the way, you have to actively go make it.

1543
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: It's a great book called The Council of Dads a

1544
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:39,679
Speaker 1: similar theme, but you have to go make your village.

1545
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:43,840
Speaker 1: The problem with the Left's village is they've removed the

1546
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 1: dad from it, all the dads from the village with welfare,

1547
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:51,879
Speaker 1: and they removed the moms from the home with feminism.

1548
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:54,599
Speaker 1: So all that's left is the state. That's the village

1549
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:56,599
Speaker 1: they're talking about. It's not a village like your village.

1550
01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 1: Their village has Gavin noose them as the village elder

1551
01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:08,720
Speaker 1: or whatever like, so it's a very different village. This

1552
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: is rich Lowry, he says, is the ultimate private institution.

1553
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:19,719
Speaker 1: The family is a stubborn obstacle to the great collective effort.

1554
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 1: And so far as people invest in their own families,

1555
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 1: they are holding out on the state and unacceptably privileging

1556
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: their own kids over the children of others. These parents,

1557
01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 1: they say, are selfish, small minded, and backwards. It's amazing.

1558
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 1: The family is the single greatest source of inequality of

1559
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:45,639
Speaker 1: children and therefore of adults. The family is the single

1560
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 1: greatest source of inequality. That's what the left the main goal,

1561
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 1: Like anti racism and everything, it's all about equity, equality

1562
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: of outcome. What is the greatest driver of inequity. Family,

1563
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,120
Speaker 1: that's the main driver of equality. So you have to

1564
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 1: get rid of it. Rid of it. If two adults

1565
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:06,160
Speaker 1: get married, stay married, and invest in their children. I'm

1566
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 1: just doing time, not even money, just time. They will

1567
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:11,840
Speaker 1: be way better off than the broken family, or the

1568
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 1: family that may still be together but doesn't invest the

1569
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 1: proper time and love and a culture of learning and

1570
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 1: discipline in the family. Even though everyone's still there. Two

1571
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:21,560
Speaker 1: totally different lives are lived. My kids are going to

1572
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 1: have a huge leg up over someone else's because my

1573
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 1: wife and I work really hard to produce a level

1574
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 1: of inequality over other kids. And that's not the goal.

1575
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:32,840
Speaker 1: It's not like the goals like, oh, we need you

1576
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 1: to be better than him, that's not the goal. The

1577
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 1: goals we want you to be the best possible. And

1578
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 1: the effect of that is, well, you're going to be

1579
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:41,880
Speaker 1: better off than that other kid over there whose parents

1580
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:44,280
Speaker 1: don't invest the same And I don't feel bad about it.

1581
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,679
Speaker 1: A lick, and neither should You do not let people

1582
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 1: shame you for doing what's best for your children. You

1583
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:54,280
Speaker 1: saw a lot of this when the schools are shut down,

1584
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 1: so a lot of parents put together like these learning

1585
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:59,000
Speaker 1: pods or these micro schools or whatever, and the left

1586
01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:04,679
Speaker 1: came out and said, oh, that's so unfair. Nope, Lissen,

1587
01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 1: we can come up with solutions for everyone too, But

1588
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,479
Speaker 1: do not try to shame me from educating my children.

1589
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: Lowry says that the family is so essential to the

1590
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 1: well being of children, has to be a constant source

1591
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 1: of frustration to the egalitarian status. A reminder of his

1592
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 1: limits of his power. It's true I got in here,

1593
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:28,160
Speaker 1: we got to take a break. But with COVID, there's

1594
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:29,640
Speaker 1: going to be one or two ways we go here

1595
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 1: as a country. We are either going to embrace school choice,

1596
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 1: which is Rampaul's plan, and I know Ted Cruz and

1597
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:37,840
Speaker 1: even Trump the other day I mentioned this where everyone

1598
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,400
Speaker 1: just gets a voucher for whatever, twelve fifteen thousand dollars

1599
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:42,400
Speaker 1: per kid, and you go spend out however you want,

1600
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:46,920
Speaker 1: private school, public school, homeschool, tutoring, whatever you want to do.

1601
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 1: It's your money. You go do what you want with it,

1602
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 1: or we as a country, you're going to decide, And

1603
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:52,640
Speaker 1: this election will make a difference that this is just

1604
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 1: the end of all school school choice options. No more

1605
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 1: charger schools, no more private schools, no more homeschooling, because

1606
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 1: we got to get rid of all inequality completely. We

1607
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 1: are going to move in one of those two directions

1608
01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:07,639
Speaker 1: that it is absolutely for sure. Obviously I hope we'll

1609
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:13,760
Speaker 1: move in the direction of more freedom. But these people,

1610
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: they want total control over your kids, to the point

1611
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:19,799
Speaker 1: where they're like, oh, I don't even be aware of teachers.

1612
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:23,880
Speaker 1: There's going to be parents watching when you try to

1613
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 1: do the work of dismantling their transphobia. Mikes later filling

1614
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:33,800
Speaker 1: in for Buck Sexton's brother, Ward, you're in the Freedom Hut.

1615
01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Hey, Freedom Hut.

1616
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 1: Mike's later filling in for the great Buck Sexton today.

1617
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for being here today. I hope you enjoyed it

1618
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:47,599
Speaker 1: so our last segment. Maybe it's not the best thought

1619
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,760
Speaker 1: to kind of end on, but I don't give it

1620
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 1: a shot. Maybe it'll come around. Jonathan Hate, who I

1621
01:40:52,840 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: love very much. Jai DT is wonderful thinker. You this,

1622
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:01,960
Speaker 1: he said. When we look back at the ways our

1623
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:06,480
Speaker 1: ancestors lived, there's no getting around it. We are tribal primates.

1624
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: We are exquisitely designed for life in small societies with

1625
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 1: intense animalistic religion and violent intergroup conflict over territory. We

1626
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:21,879
Speaker 1: love tribal living so much that we invented sports, fraternity,

1627
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 1: street gangs, fan clubs, and tattoos. Tribalism is in our

1628
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:27,720
Speaker 1: hearts and minds. Will never stamp it out entirely, but

1629
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:32,879
Speaker 1: we can minimalize its effects. Here is the fine tuned

1630
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 1: liberal democracy hypothesis is a classic liberal, not democrat. Liberal

1631
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:43,680
Speaker 1: democracy hypothesis. As tribal primates, human beings are unsuited for

1632
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:49,719
Speaker 1: life in large, diverse, secular democracies unless you get certain

1633
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:54,759
Speaker 1: settings finally adjusted to make possible the development of stable

1634
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:59,320
Speaker 1: political life. This seems to be what the founding fathers believed.

1635
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:03,599
Speaker 1: This is so smart, So democracy we're just not built

1636
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,880
Speaker 1: for this. Democracy is really hard, so you have to

1637
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 1: fine tune a lot of different aspects in order to

1638
01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 1: make it function at all. And it's very unstable. This

1639
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 1: is not normal, this democracy. And our founding fathers knew this. Now,

1640
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 1: the most important aspect of this was the individual. Our

1641
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: founders knew that man is fallen, man is broken, Our

1642
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 1: nature is not good. James Madison and federalists, I think

1643
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:29,840
Speaker 1: ten He said, the latent causes of faction are thus

1644
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:33,600
Speaker 1: sown in the nature of man, which is why they

1645
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 1: devise the system of checks and balances and states and federalism.

1646
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:40,600
Speaker 1: And the Senators were elected by state governments, which is

1647
01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 1: not the case anymore because the seventeenth Amendment and all

1648
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 1: this stuff. Right, there's a finely tuned machine that they invented,

1649
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 1: that they created, but we've messed with it, we've tinkered

1650
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 1: with it. So much, and it's not finally tuned anymore,

1651
01:42:57,320 --> 01:43:00,000
Speaker 1: just at the institution, like the Constitution our federal government

1652
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: and in our systems of government, but we as people

1653
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:04,240
Speaker 1: aren't as finally tuned as we need to be either.

1654
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:10,200
Speaker 1: It's the classic story and I love it. It's a

1655
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 1: bit over over used, but it's it's so good and

1656
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 1: it's true. It was the story of Ben Franklin right

1657
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:22,040
Speaker 1: after Constitution was presented. This there's a couple of different talents,

1658
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 1: but the story has become that a woman said, what

1659
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: have you created? And Ben Franklin said, a republic if

1660
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 1: you can keep it. My understanding is the actual story

1661
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:32,840
Speaker 1: as someone came up to Ben and said, well, doctor,

1662
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:35,040
Speaker 1: what have we got? A republic or a monarchy? That

1663
01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 1: was right. He kind of led him a bit and

1664
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:38,640
Speaker 1: he said, oh, a republic if you can keep it.

1665
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:40,280
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. The point is if you can

1666
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:44,679
Speaker 1: keep it. That's Ben Franklin saying, hey, guy, we created

1667
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 1: a finely tuned machine here for you. Just are you

1668
01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 1: familiar with the finely tuned universe theory? This out I

1669
01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: became a Christian. There's so many countless variables that must

1670
01:43:56,160 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 1: be precisely finally tuned. In order for life to exist

1671
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:03,600
Speaker 1: on Earth, in order for the Earth to exist in

1672
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:06,200
Speaker 1: the universe, everything is to be so. If one little

1673
01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:08,719
Speaker 1: thing like the rate of gravi or the force of gravity,

1674
01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:11,599
Speaker 1: if one little tiny invariable was just a little tiny,

1675
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:14,400
Speaker 1: then life wouldn't be possible. And it's impossible that that

1676
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 1: happened randomly. Safe thing with the demoncrasy, with America, everything

1677
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:25,839
Speaker 1: has to be so finely presise. And the most important

1678
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:27,759
Speaker 1: thing is these founders said that you can only maintain

1679
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 1: this if you are a virtuous people. John Adams, Our

1680
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 1: constitution was only made for a moral and religious people.

1681
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:39,560
Speaker 1: Benjamin Rush. The only foundation for a useful education in

1682
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:41,200
Speaker 1: a republic is to be the aid of a religion.

1683
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:44,559
Speaker 1: Without this there could be no virtue, and without virtue

1684
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 1: there could be no liberty. And liberty is the object

1685
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:51,920
Speaker 1: in life of all Republican governments. Governor Or Morris, he said,

1686
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: for avoiding the extremes of despotism or anarchy, the only

1687
01:44:56,040 --> 01:44:58,479
Speaker 1: ground of hope must be on the morals of the people.

1688
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:01,920
Speaker 1: And Ben Frankos said virtuous people are capable of freedom.

1689
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:05,519
Speaker 1: As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need

1690
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 1: of masters. Now, we've never been perfect, but there's always

1691
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 1: been an ideal of virtue that existed. There's always been

1692
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 1: an ideal, and today even the ideal is attacked. And

1693
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 1: that's what I'm most concerned about, kids growing up not

1694
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 1: even knowing that there is an ideal to reach four.

1695
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:36,120
Speaker 1: Not your kids though, not your grandkids. And that's the

1696
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 1: part where I'm encouraged. Thanks for let me be. I'm

1697
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 1: grateful Bucks the man, He's awesome. I hope I can

1698
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,280
Speaker 1: do it again. Of a great weekend. Spread the word
