1 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: What is communism? I mean, I understand there's this dictionary 2 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: definition about the working glass. No, no, no, forget all 3 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: that stuff aside. What is it? What actually is it? 4 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: It's not complicated, right, it's not complicated. You've heard me 5 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: describe it a million times. It is a religion. Remember, 6 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: this is not a political philosophy. It is a religion. 7 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: That's why it has to be for everyone. The communists, 8 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: they demand the entire world submit to it. It is 9 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: a religion of domination and destruction. And this religion, it 10 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: appeals to one of, if not the worst quality every 11 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: single one of us have inside of us on some level. Envy. 12 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: That's all it is. We all struggle with it, you know, 13 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: one of those seven deadly sins and all that. We 14 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: all struggle with it. Everyone has at least a little 15 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: bit of it inside of them. Communism it simply appeals 16 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: to that. It's not more complicated than that. Everything you 17 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: see is simply a different version of it. You should, 18 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: you should have that rich guy's stuff. Look at him, 19 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: But look at you. You don't. You couldn't afford you 20 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: couldn't afford a burger tonight. He's got a leerd. Yet, 21 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: don't you want his stuff, Vote for me and I'll 22 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: take his stuff away and give it to you. Oh men, 23 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: look at how men are. Aren't they the worst? Aren't you? 24 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: Look at all these men in these top spots. Vote 25 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: for me and I'll take away there's stuff and give 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: it to you. Or all the victim groups, they all 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: submit to communism, because communism, in the end, is nothing 28 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: more complicated than the promise to hurt the people you 29 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: blame for your problems in exchange for power. That's what 30 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: it is. That doesn't sound familiar, right, You don't see 31 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: that everywhere you turn now, Right in the United States 32 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: of America, not just Democrats and Republicans, federal bureaucracy, professors 33 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: teach it. Your kids, grade school teachers teach it. Entertainers, athletes, 34 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: they all believe it. Half the pastors in this country 35 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: my white privilege, without even knowing what they're doing up there, 36 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: preaching the religion of communism to the masses. And I 37 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: do want you to understand something. It's not an accident 38 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: that it's here. This was purposeful. It's not as if 39 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: one wing nut came out and said something. Either we 40 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: have Soviet after Soviet after Soviet, and person who was 41 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: experienced with the Soviets. Over and over and over again. 42 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: They said, back when we were having all that Cold 43 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: War stuff, the Soviets knew, they knew full well they 44 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: were never going to be able to take on the 45 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: American economy, in the American military. They were aware of that. 46 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: We act like they weren't the big, big bad Russians. 47 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: They knew they see numbers, they can read. But they 48 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: also understood this, and they understood it well. They understood 49 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: the American Judeo Christian background creates, what creates people who 50 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: try to be kind? Don't you want to be kind? 51 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: You want your kids to be kind. I want to 52 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: be known as a kind person. I realize that's never 53 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: going to happen for me, but it might happen for you. 54 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: And the Soviets, the Communists realize, oh, we're going to 55 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: be able to use that kindness and we're going to 56 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: be able to walk through all of their institutions and 57 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: take them over. If you look around today, as I 58 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: do with the United States of America, and you're horrified 59 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: by the fact that Communists run at all, they run 60 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: our sports leagues, you're horrified by it. Right, I'm horrified 61 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: by it. Don't think this was some accident. Don't think 62 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: that it was just whoop. See we took over everything is. 63 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: This is Ezra taff Benson. He was the Secretary of 64 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: Agriculture under Eisenhower, and I want you to listen to 65 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: what he has to say. He met with Nikita Krushcheff, 66 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, the Soviet communist leader. Listen to Ezra. I 67 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: have talked face to face with the godless communist leaders. 68 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: It may surprise you to learn that I was host 69 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: to mister Kruscheff. As we talked face to face, he 70 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring 71 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: him that I expected to do all in my power 72 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: to assure that his and all other grandchildren will live 73 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: under freedom, he arrogantly declared in substance, you Americans are 74 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: so colorable. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll 75 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally 76 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: wake up and find you already have communism. We won't 77 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until 78 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: you fall like overripe fruit into our hands. None of 79 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: that looked or sounded familiar, right, H's home, isn't it 80 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: When I say communists and communism and I point these 81 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: things out time and time and time again, don't don't 82 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: think for a moment, I'm just doing that for TV, right. 83 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: These people were communists, they are here. Many of our 84 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: American communists these days don't even know that's what they are. 85 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: They were trained by communists, who were trained by communists, 86 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: who were trained by communists, and they just don't even 87 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: realize that's what they are. I'm not a communist. I'm 88 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: just an LGBTQ activists and I'm going to destroy everything. 89 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: Oh you are a communist, Yes you are. And let's 90 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: talk about something specific tonight because we have great guests, 91 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: Dave Brad a bunch of people on tonight. Let's talk 92 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: about something specific here, your kids, you see everything you 93 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: see now, the corporations being taken over by these people. Democrats, 94 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: have the Republicans entertained it? They all share are something 95 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: in common. They all went through America's education system, and 96 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,559 Speaker 1: communists after communists after communists throughout history has not only 97 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: known this, They've written about it. It's not like they 98 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: hide this. They've always known all I needs the kids, 99 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: that's the future and I know that children are the future. 100 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: Line has been so overused, but it is true. You 101 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: and I be dead another twenty thirty forty years. If 102 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: I can learn how to drive safer, my kids, my sons, 103 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna take over. Your kids are gonna take over? 104 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: What are they? What are they going to turn out 105 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: to be? The Communists have always known that. Lenin wrote 106 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: about it from the very beginning. Just give me the 107 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: kids and I'll take everything I need. Well, at least 108 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: we don't have any American politicians talking like that today. 109 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: But I'm not going to let parents come into schools 110 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: and actually take books out and make their own decisions. 111 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: I don't think parents should be telling school what they 112 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: should teach. You didn't think you You didn't think you 113 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: were going to raise your kids, right. You didn't think 114 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: the American Communist was ever going to let that happen, 115 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: did you? And listen? He had a rare moment of 116 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: honesty during that debate, and currently right now in Virginia, 117 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: they're running ads with that because it's really affecting parents. 118 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: He was just being honest. That's how they all think 119 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: you don't get to raise your kids. That's the last 120 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: thing they want. They don't want your values to be 121 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: placed in your kids. No no, no no no no no 122 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: no no. They need your kids to leave you, leave 123 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: your home, leave your loving arms, leave your value system. 124 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: Come on, kids, we're just gonna start priming the pump, 125 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: really on. We're just gonna make sure we let you 126 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: know how bad America sucks. And as soon as you 127 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: realize that, well, the rest of it's pretty easy for 128 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: the American communist. Let's not forget. We currently in this 129 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: country have the Attorney General of the United States of 130 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: America sicking the federal law enforcement arm on who who Antifa, 131 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, burning down cities, murdering cops. No no no, no, 132 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: no no no no no. They're going after parents. They're 133 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: going after parents who are upset about critical race theory 134 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: and other things in schools. These people, they don't view 135 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: your kids the way you view your kids. They view 136 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: your kids as being their property. They want them, and 137 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: they want them badly, really really badly, and all this 138 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: masks stuff. I mean, you know, like when you look 139 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: at a video like this, it's gonna be aggravating, but 140 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: I want you to look at it. Kids aren't at 141 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: any risk for coronavirus. We know all that, but this 142 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: is the ultimate in the communist playbook. This is all 143 00:08:50,880 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: about control. Going to keep it on. I'm gonna keep 144 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: me safe. Can I keep you safe? Okay? You think 145 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: that wretched hag assaulting that child knows she's a communist? 146 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: Probably not, but she is. And they're everywhere right now. 147 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: They lead every single cultural pillar of this country. We 148 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: are going to discuss where we are, where we're going, 149 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: how we fight back. We have a great special for 150 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: you tonight, but first we have a former congressman dean 151 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: of business at Liberty University, Dave Bratt, coming up next. 152 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 1: Hang on, if you're gonna talk communism, you're gonna talk communism. 153 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: If you're gonna talk anything in the business world, to look, 154 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: if you're just gonna talk about America, you gotta talk 155 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: to Dave Bratt, former congressman and current dean of business 156 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: at Liberty University. Friend of mine, Dave Brett, joins us. Now, Dave, 157 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Fortune five hundred. Here's the top ten. 158 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: We've got things like Walmart and Amazon and Apple. And 159 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: here's the problem, Dave. These corporations and corporations have tons 160 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: of influence. There's somehow, all led by cultural Marxists. Now 161 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: they're not sitting in boardrooms with charts and graphs and 162 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: profitability and things like that. They're led by a bunch 163 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: of communist scumbags. How did this happen? Yeah, well it's 164 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: it's it's been a long march through the institutions. That 165 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: is kind of the phrase that began in the sixties 166 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: the elites, the Marxist elites in the Frankfurt School in 167 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: Europe and came over here. March through the elite educational 168 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: establishments Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. You can go to brown 169 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: bag lunches there in their philosophy departments over the last 170 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: decades and see it all lined up. Then it goes 171 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: through some of the government institutions. I think your audience 172 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: is familiar with all that. And now the ku de 173 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: Gris they take over the fortune five hundred our businesses, right. 174 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: I mean, it used to be a joke the Republican 175 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: the knock against Republicans as we were the business elite class. 176 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: We've lost it all And thank goodness maybe because now 177 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: we can return our attention to the American people. But 178 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: the singular trait you can always tell when the communists 179 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: are involved is they always want big everything. There's no 180 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: attention to individual rights under the law. That's the last 181 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: thing they want you to focus on. It's the first 182 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: thing they tried to get rid of. Right, They try 183 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: to get rid of your allegiance to God, anything that 184 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: defines you and gives you significance as an individual with 185 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: inalienable rights in the law. It's much easier to control 186 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: these big firms, these big institutions under the thumb of 187 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: these elites and the powerbrokers. They want big everything. So 188 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: now we got big banks you just showed, right, big airlines, 189 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: big automobile, big tech, The big tech firms, six firms 190 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: and big tech have a market cap worth more than 191 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: all European firms combined. Right, single companies are the size 192 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: of moderate size European nation states. And that's what we 193 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: have now put in place in the United States of America. 194 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: It's a disaster and we have serious, decades long work 195 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: to turn that around. Dave, What is this Frankfurt school 196 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: you're talking about. Are they learned about hot dogs over there? Yeah? No, 197 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: the it you know, it started back with Marx in 198 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: eighteen sixty and he had a simple you know, economic determinism. Uh, 199 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: and then it branches out its failed. Right. If you 200 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: look up marks in the Encyclopedia Encyclopedia philosophy, it'll say 201 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: naive materialist. The philosophy is as deep as a waiting pool. 202 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: But it served political purposes, right, the class struggle between 203 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: the capitalists and the workers. Boy, that's how you can 204 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: divide people and tick people off and produce a culture 205 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: that's at war with itself. And so uh, the Marxists, uh, progressives, 206 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: elitists in the university setting have gotten smarter and smarter 207 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 1: and smarter. Right, And so the Frankfurt school people can 208 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: go look that up. And now the neo Marxist piece 209 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: is in the in these ideological buckets. It's not just 210 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: the capitalists and the workers. Now, it's any identification you 211 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: make up ABC, you know, how you identify, and that's all. 212 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: That's a sign of the Marxist ideology. They want to 213 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: divide us instead of uniting us one nation under God, 214 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: indivisible with each person made in the image of God. Right, 215 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: that's the Judeo Christian logic. It's very simple. Love is 216 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: the cornerstone. They got rid of God. They got rid 217 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: of love. They're tearing the fabric apart, and you can 218 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: just tell the Marxist logic. It just gets rid of 219 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: the individual and puts all the power in the in 220 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: the big everything, and especially in our federal government. Dave. 221 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense though, for Apple or Walmart 222 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: r Amazon to be communist when communism just destroys so 223 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: much wealth. Why would these huge wealthy, powerful people who 224 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: leave these huge wealthy, powerful companies, why would they ever 225 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: sign on for an ideology that sounds like it's going 226 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: to go after them? Yeah, well, part of it is 227 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: just self interest, and unfortunately it's a self interest untethered 228 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: from Judeo Christian virtues. Now right that that piece has 229 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: fallen by the wayside. So what's the self interest I'm 230 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: talking about? Well, it's a twenty trillion dollars sucking sound 231 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: coming from a Chinese economy that had been growing at 232 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: ten percent a year. So all of the bigs, the 233 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: big texts, they're just licking their chops at expanding into 234 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: the Chinese market right until recently, right, And so now, 235 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're following all this and all 236 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: the folks are followed, but that China has got some 237 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: serious issues there. Real estate market is six x six 238 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: times their GDP. Our real estate market is about the 239 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: size of our GDP, which is about twenty trillion dollars. 240 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: They're GDP's fifteen trillion, and so they're real estate mark 241 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: is about ninety trillion dollars. And that's official figures given 242 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: by the Chinese. That's starting to crack up, and so 243 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: and the supply chains. Everybody's seen right, the supply chains 244 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: are cracking up for a bunch of reasons. But that's 245 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: going to hurt China big time. They're much more dependent 246 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: on us than we are on them, and so now 247 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: the big firms are going to be scrambling. This is 248 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: going to get very interesting. But the short answer to 249 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: your question, why do they go communists? They really just 250 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: go self interest and they know to maximize their profits 251 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: of them and their shareholders. You go to China and 252 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: you just give up all all the lessons we've learned 253 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: in this country about how to structure governments and human 254 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: rights and individual rights underneath the law, and they don't 255 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: care about any of that. They're just pursuing the big dollar. 256 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: And unfortunately that's where we stand in this still great country, 257 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: but the great people of this country have to ac 258 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: up and take charge again. Dave. Now, I don't want 259 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: to gloss over this, because that sounded pretty hopeful to me. 260 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: China has this huge real estate bubble that I think 261 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: I heard you say, sounds like it's about to pop. 262 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: They're in trouble. That could mean trouble for our corporations 263 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: who sold their souls to China and now have to 264 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: maybe come back home and appeal to the American buyer again. Yeah, yeah, 265 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt about it. I listened 266 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: to a guy named Peter ze Hand. He was Rand 267 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: Corporation thirty years ago. Now he's that demography. He's funny guys, 268 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: got YouTube's all over the place. But he's been shown 269 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: globalism is done right. I think most analysts are in 270 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: that space. The supply chains are going to come back here, 271 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: and you know, the globalists, I think they will now 272 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: start looking to the south, right to Mexico and South America. 273 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: That's what Zhan says too. He's smart guy. He's been 274 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: right on a lot of the stuff. But yeah, that 275 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: the Chinese now have already pivoted right is usually paying 276 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: from a growth model to a more equity equitable distribution 277 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: model to appease one point four billion people who are 278 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: ticked off right the Chinese allowed by Jing, the mainstream, 279 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, grassroots Chinese people. They're crying in the streets 280 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: now because their claim on assets and real estate is 281 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: being taken away from them. In the short run. You know, 282 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: I never want to overweigh the crack up of China 283 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: because as as as a monopoly, communist power, they can 284 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: paper over even that number if they want, right, just 285 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: like we're doing with our tens of trillions of problem. 286 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: They can just print money or create government debt to 287 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: paper that over. But you can only do that for 288 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: so long. And I think they're there. I think they 289 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: are at the extreme point of how far you can 290 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: leverage even a communist monopoly's uh you know, debt, debt ratios. 291 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: They're they're in trouble. And so we'll see, we'll see 292 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: coming up. Okay, I've only got you know, a couple 293 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: of minutes left here, Dave, But I do want to 294 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: ask you, Okay, that does that's good news, but it 295 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: can be bad news. An old lion who is injured 296 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: and can't hunt the way he used to is a 297 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: very dangerous lion. What do you think a Chinese response 298 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: to that shape must be? No, I see you're following it. 299 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: You know what's going on. That's right, there's there's a response. 300 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: They can go after Taiwan. Right, they can trigger nationalism 301 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: to retain power, and Shigipang does that route. Ze Hand 302 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: is good on that too. He does not think that 303 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: will happen because they China would give up everything they 304 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: have for that. There is an author in Foreign Affairs 305 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: last month that wrote very convincingly that they still may 306 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: do that. That you cannot overweight Chinese unification, right, it's 307 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: in their twenty fifty plan of the Communist Party to 308 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: have a reunified China, the land unified, taking taking Taiwan. 309 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: As a unified China can countenance any degree of slaughter 310 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: of their own people, which which is just you know, 311 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: hard for me to say, but I think that is 312 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: a reality. But I don't the people, but they I 313 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: don't think they can give up their entire economic base, 314 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: which they would do. They're very reliant on us. They're 315 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: they're way more reliant on us and on their their 316 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: energy supply chains. Going back to the Middle East India 317 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: can cut those off in a day if they want to, 318 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: and so I can't see them taking that risk. But 319 00:20:53,359 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: as you said, Wounded Lion, that it's scary. Dave Bratt, everybody, Dave, 320 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: you are the best. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. 321 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: Thank you, brother. Have a great day. God bless I'm 322 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: so excited about this next guest. This might be most 323 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: excited I've ever been for a guest, just because of 324 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: her life experience and whatnot. But before we get to 325 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: Rebecca Coffler, we're gonna get to her in a second, 326 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: I want to play you this little video of Yuri Besmanov. 327 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: He was KGB, he defected to the West. He sat 328 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: down in nineteen eighty four, gave a long interview I 329 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: would recommend everybody watch. It's still on YouTube, about an 330 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: hour and a half long, where he's simply explained what 331 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: they did here and why they did it. And tell 332 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: me if anything he says here for this is from 333 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: the year in nineteen eighty four, tell me if any 334 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: of this looks familiar. Ideological subversion is the slow process 335 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: which we call either ideological subversion or active measures actively. 336 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: Mirapriyatia in the language of the KGB or psychological warfare. 337 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: What it basically means is to change the perception of 338 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: reality of every American to such an extent that, despite 339 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: of the abundance of information, no one is able to 340 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, 341 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: their families, their community, and their country. It's a great 342 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: brainwashing process. None of that looks familiar right. Joining me now, 343 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: Rebecca Kaufler. She is a former Defense Intelligence Agency author 344 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: and or officer, and she's the author of a new book, 345 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: Putin's Playbook, Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America. Rebecca, we 346 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: certainly don't have any ideological subversion going on here in 347 00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: this country, right Hi, Jesse. We absolutely do, I'm afraid 348 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: to say. And this is why the United States government 349 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: tried to sabotage the publication of my book. Ironically, I 350 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: included the information that you just ran about Uribismana who 351 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: wanted us exactly about Putin's Playbook decades earlier, and unfortunately 352 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: it's unfolding right before our eyes. Okay, So I can't 353 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: just gloss over this point here. You just brought it up. 354 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: The US government tried to spike your book. Why absolutely, 355 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: my former employer, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Central 356 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: Intelligence Agency try to sabotage the publication of my book 357 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: because they didn't want Americans to know not only how 358 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: unprepared the intelligence community and the US government is to 359 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: handle the Russian threat, but also to hide what exactly 360 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: utibismena wander us about and what happened in the twenty 361 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: sixteenth election. So unfortunately, the Putin's playbook is unfolding right 362 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: before our eyes, just like utibis men of wand Okay, Rebecca, 363 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: I have to ask you say, Mishandling our intelligence community, mishandled, 364 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Here's what I mean, Jesse. 365 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: I served in the intelligence community during President Obama's term, 366 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: even though all the signs were available what we call 367 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: indications and warning that Russia is not America's friend and 368 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: Russia is preparing for a conflict with the United States, 369 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: where it was getting ready to employee cyber warfare and 370 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: all of the other weapons that I described in my book. 371 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: President Obama's administrations were so intent on the proverbial reset 372 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: with Putin, giving him flexibility and all those other things 373 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: that it didn't want to hear the warnings. They were 374 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: telling us we're now going to war with Russia. Don't 375 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: worry about it, and we were trying to tell them, well, 376 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: even though if you are not going to war, but 377 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: I want to listen because they think they are. And 378 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: here we are today. We are becoming the target of 379 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: relentless cyber attacks from Russia and the US government is 380 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: not doing anything about it, just like the Obama administration 381 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: was not doing anything about it. And that's how they 382 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: mis handled by not getting ready and not responding. Now, Rebecca, 383 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: I've been paying attention to these cyber attacks. Every time 384 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: might see them in the news. It says these aren't 385 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: government cyber attacks, these are just hackers who reside within Russia. 386 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: Surely Vladimir putin is is completely unaware of who and 387 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: where they are. Right. That is complete science fiction. That 388 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: is what the Obama the Biden administration, which I call 389 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: Obama to god zero really because all of the quote 390 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: unquote national security experts that right now on the Biden 391 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: administration are the very same ones that got us into 392 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: the Russian confrontation count like Continua and Afghanistan, etc. Etc. 393 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: So this is what Biden would have us believe that 394 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: Putin has nothing to do with it. But Putin actually 395 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: and Russian intelligence services higher third parties to conduct cyber 396 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: operations targeting the United States. It's a very classic Russian 397 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: intelligence tradecraft, and the US government is highly aware of it. 398 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: In fact, during President Trump's administration, the Justice Department charged 399 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: thirteen GIU officers, the Russian military intelligence officers, who conducted 400 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: very similar operations through third parties that were targeting the 401 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election. So that tradecraft is known. The Biden 402 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: administration simply does not have the guts to call out 403 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: Putin's government who is responsible for these cyber attacks. Can 404 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: you tell me about your experience with communism in the 405 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: Soviet Union? Of course, this is actually that's highly alarming 406 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: to me because thirty years after I have immigrated to 407 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 1: the United States, I'm having flashbacks right now to the 408 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: Russia that I've fled. Basically, what we have right now 409 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: is the double standard. We have a situation where the 410 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: government officials are creating rules for us, whether it's to 411 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: wear masks or to you know, pitch in some extra 412 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: you know money to help the poor, you know, etcetera, etcetera, 413 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: But they themselves are not following the very same rules 414 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: that they are creating. Recently, President Biden and his wife 415 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: attended a restaurant that reachs a restaurant in Georgetown, not 416 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: far from where I live, not wearing a mask. And 417 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: we have previously, you know, Antiblosi and all of those 418 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: other you know, I call them government uprojects, not wearing 419 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: the masks. And yet they're hounding down Americans who are 420 00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: refusing to take the vaccine for medical reasons and for 421 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: other reasons, so pressing our freedoms. And this is what 422 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: we had in the Soviet Union, where the government who 423 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: was in power was creating the rules for the rest 424 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: of us, or pressing our freedoms, but not following the 425 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: rules themselves. Rebecca, media censorship, obviously, I know you have 426 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: a bit of experience living in a place like that. 427 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: I see it everywhere here in that in this country, 428 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: don't you. Absolutely. And this is a typical Soviet flavor, 429 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: That's how I call it. You see, America, the reason 430 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: America has been prospering and the reason why everybody wants 431 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: to come and live in America because it is a 432 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: land of freedom and opportunity, So plurality of opinion has 433 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: been the cornerstone of our democracy. But alarm right now, 434 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: the left wants to arrive at this single opinion, what 435 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: I call the party line. This is exactly what we 436 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: had in the Soviet Union, where every alternative opinion, every 437 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 1: dissenting voice was not only suppressed, concealed, silenced, but also 438 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: was punished. And so today we have religious voices, Conservative 439 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: voices are the descending voices being silenced by the big 440 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: tag people being deep platformed, losing their jobs. So this 441 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: cannot go on or USA will turn into the USSA 442 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: two dots zero and we want freedom in this country. 443 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: We cannot allow this to happen. Rebecca, you are the best. 444 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Please come back and join us soon. Absolutely, 445 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: it's my pleasure and honored to be here. Jess. Listen 446 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: to these people. They know what they're talking about. All right, 447 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a mom who's fighting back 448 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: against communism. Next. Well, it's one thing for me to 449 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: sit here and talk to you every single night on 450 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: the TV about vaccine mandates and CRT and schools and 451 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: all these other things. The first, lets me say whatever 452 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: I want. I admire people like Patty Menders she's out there, 453 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: actually in the fight every single day. Mom of six, 454 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: also president of the Loudon County Republican Women's Club, Patty, 455 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: why are you fighting so hard against your wretched school board? Hi, 456 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: thank you so much for having me. Why am I fighting? 457 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: Is corrupt school board? That's a complicated answer to that question. 458 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: They were locking the children down during COVID, like a 459 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: lot of school systems did, but it lasted so long, 460 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: and we started to see that private schools and public 461 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: schools were opening up, but we were not. So parents 462 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: like me attended the school board meetings and we wished 463 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: for a plan for in person, and they weren't able 464 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: to give us one, and so we would go every 465 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: two weeks is public comments. And we found out that 466 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: several of our club, of these school board members were 467 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: part of a Facebook group, a secret Facebook group called 468 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: Anti Racist Parents of Loudon County. And what one of 469 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: the school board members did, the one that just resigned, 470 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: she said, poor me, the parents they're attacking us. Can 471 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: we find out who they are? So they listed several 472 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: of us, forty to fifty of us, and I was 473 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: one of those, and they put my three pictures of me, 474 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: my first and last name, my husband's name, where my 475 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: son goes to high school, and what town I live in. 476 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: And their plan was to intimidate us and make us 477 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: stop going to the school board meetings. And we realized 478 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: that this is not what elected officials are supposed to do. 479 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: They're supposed to listen to their constituents, especially parents. We 480 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: just want the best for our children. And we found 481 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: out through many foyas and organizational rallies and so forth, 482 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: that they oppose us because we are opposing them. We 483 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: found text messages between school board members that said this 484 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: is war with the parents. We found that some of 485 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: their minority consultants that they hire said that this is 486 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: we need to silence the opposition. So the more we 487 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: uncovered about them, we realized they wanted to silence us. 488 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: And we organized and we are just parents wanting to 489 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: stand up for our children. Patty, this sounds I mean, Look, 490 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 1: the average American when they think about a school board, 491 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: they may not think of it as some you know, 492 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: the saintly group, but they certainly don't think it sounds 493 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: like what you just described. What you just described, it 494 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: sounds like the Stazi. Yes, I'll be honest. My parents 495 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: escaped communist Cuba in nineteen sixty one. They taught us 496 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: children what socialism and communism looks like. And this is 497 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: what they do. They turn, they turn neighbor against neighbor. 498 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: They shut down universities, they shut down churches. They want 499 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: to break up the family. The children attend a special 500 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: school where they have to be part of the government. 501 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: If you opposed the government, they come after you. And 502 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: in my case, my parents were so young, they were 503 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: twenty one and twenty six. My father worked for the 504 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: underground movement against Castro. He saw many of his friends 505 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: imprisoned and shot because they didn't want to give up 506 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: their property for the state. And thank god my parents escaped. 507 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: And it has taught me the value of our freedoms 508 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: and our faith here in the United States. Oh man, amen, 509 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: and I can't applaud you enough for what you're doing. 510 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you something, Patty, I'm gonna play you a 511 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: little video here. This is one of the things that 512 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: has creeped me out as much as anything I've seen. 513 00:35:43,080 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: Watched this last It wasn't the anthem, obviously, that creeped 514 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: me out. That was the parents' response to the Department 515 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 1: of Justice attempting to label you all as domestic terrorists. Patty, 516 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: I'm so creeped out by this thing. I can't believe 517 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 1: that's where we are as a nation. We are just 518 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: parents and residents of Loudon County. And in that video 519 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: that is all of us attending the June twenty second 520 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: school board meeting. We wanted to voice our opposition to 521 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: all the things that we were uncovering. And in this case, 522 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: one of the former elected officials, Senator Dick Black, he's retired. 523 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: He gave an incredible speech and all we did was 524 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: clapp All we did was caught for him, and the 525 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: school board completely shut down the meeting. So as you 526 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,399 Speaker 1: can see, we stayed in the room. We sang God 527 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: bless America and showed our American pride, and we weren't silenced. Patty, 528 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: I explained to me why you, as a parent, mom 529 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: of six, why you oppose critical race theory. So, as 530 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: president of the largest Republican women's club, my first priority 531 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: is my parents, but the club, I've encouraged them to 532 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: be aware of any way where we have lost our freedoms. 533 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: And many club members were sending these screenshots of what 534 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: some teachers are teaching in the schools, and one video 535 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: really startled me. It was a senior in high school 536 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: honors English class where the teacher was bullying the child 537 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: to look at race. There was a picture of a 538 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: white girl and a black girl, and the teacher was 539 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: bullying and intimidating the student to say that there's two 540 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 1: different color on the screen. And the kid kept saying, 541 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: I just see two people chilling. And this child was 542 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 1: so smart he videotaped and told the teacher, if you 543 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: want me to see two different colors, isn't that feeding 544 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 1: into the division of Americans? And the teacher was like, no, 545 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: it's showing it's obvious that there's two races. So I 546 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,280 Speaker 1: was the first one to receive that video that went viral, 547 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:36,720 Speaker 1: and then I've seen screenshots of other teachers. In fact, 548 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: the other day, I've seen where they put the children 549 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: into buckets just because of this color of their skin. 550 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: If you're black or people of color, you're a victim. 551 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: If you're a white person, they perceive you as an oppressor. 552 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: These are children as young as five years old. Can 553 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: you imagine these children that they can never be beyond 554 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: their race and they'll never be more than a victim. 555 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: This shows that the government wants to control these students 556 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: and make them reliant on government. No, we are all, 557 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: like doctor Martin Luther King said, we are all based 558 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: on our character versus the color of our skin. That 559 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: is what every parent should want for our children in 560 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: these schools. Hey man, Patty, I applaud you for the 561 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: work you're doing. Please keep it up, go get them 562 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: all right? Thank you. Coming up next, the Great Dave Bratt. 563 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: Hang on. Whatever it takes to stop communism from taking 564 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: over this country, that's what we must must do. It 565 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: is important we all understand what the stakes are here. 566 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be over the top. The stakes 567 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: are the misery and death that follows communism everywhere it goes. 568 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: What would you do? What would you do to stop 569 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: that kind of misery and death from being something your 570 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: kids have to live through, or their kids have to 571 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: live through, or their kids have to live through. What 572 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: would you do to keep your kids safe from those horrors? 573 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 1: There's nothing I wouldn't do. Let's make sure we're fighting 574 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 1: this fight with the desperation it deserves. Huh, all right, 575 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: We'll do it again.
